Points of Origin was a book written by John Leonard Orr, an arson investigator who, between 1984 and 1991, repeatedly set fire to several shops and woodlands. He was later caught because he wrote a novel wherein a fictionalized version of himself described how he did it, including a part where he set fire to a hardware store in which four people, including a two year old died, describing how he died in lurid detail, right down to the fact the child liked Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, saying that “it was their fault they didn’t get out in time, they were too stupid”.

He was suspected of being, almost proven to be the serial arsonist, but he couldn’t be brought in because they needed to catch him in the act. His superiors were informed he was a suspect, and one of said superiors called the police when Orr showed him a publisher’s letter for this book which basically admitted he did it and how he did it.

The fact that so much bullshit started out as a fucking meme on /b/ is proof there is no God and we have failed as a species.

Wanna know the funniest part? All this bullshit is based on a disproven theory about wolves, but then 4chan adopted as a kinda meme and then these fuckers took it seriously. Absolute fucking clown shit.

In my experience the people who describe people as “Alphas and Betas” are almost always described as “betas” by their own language.

I love Solarpunk but I don’t know why they like cablecars/dangleways so much. Like there are places that use them as public transport (Medellín) but unless the landscape the city is in is very mountainous then they’re not really useful as a form of transportation.

Open transport Tycoon deluxe. Been going for years and it’s still great.

Oh my God she said this on BBC Radio 4, which is basically the main, national Radio station in the UK. To put this in context, this is like if Orson Scott Card said he agreed with the Main Character in Points of Origin.

Ok so we can add pedophile sympathiser to transphobe, racist and anti Semite.

That is true

Curious what sins mice do.

OK so I have questions about this cartoon. I get Hulk, Mr Incredible and Goku, but why Mighty Mouse?

It was Priti iirc. Kemi is the one who wants to genocide transgender people.

As is being homeless. Basically you buy a house or rent and if you can’t afford that, you’re expected to die.

Knowing academics, I’m expecting it to start a Tumblr blogs and post academic shit posts.

PHD in what?

Linguistic nerds, is this written in Arabic or Ottoman Turkish?

Also Tasmanian Peninsula!

You can tell this was made by a Dog owner because the parts of cat’s brain are:

I love the defiant cursed energy here.

If you eat a battered macaroni pie in a roll and down it with Irn Bru, Highland Cathedral will start playing out of nowhere.

State fair’s only around for one time a year, my local chippy is open all year around.

That’s basically the idea behind these laws.

Conservatives want to make porn illegal, which isn’t easy under traditional means, so they’re taking the “Putin” approach as I put it, make viewing porn hard, unattractive or even dangerous and make delivering porn to people hard, unattractive and dangerous.

Requiring an ID from the government to view porn means the government can tell who is watching what. If one of those people happens to run for office or get a little too campaigny, their porn history can be named and shamed.

And porn providers know this, and know that will drive people away from their sites, and on top of this implementing this will likely be bureaucratic and likely expensive, so they’ll stop serving an area.

And when this is applied to non porn sites that have porn like Reddit or twitter or Tumblr, well guess what’s going to happen, those sites will ban porn from their site.

It’s basically banning porn by making it impossible to get porn in a way that doesn’t end up with you getting blackmailed. Children have nothing to do with it.
