Random Rants 79: [Impassionating Intensifies]

[Timsup2nothin]

Ask for another dance later and ask for her number then was the right move. It's just that later needed to be the next dance.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

The most blatant murder in US history.

This is not yet known, stop doing the Russian's bidding and spreading disinformation.

I just saw a headline from Fox News:

Former inmate at NYC jail says it is impossible that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself

And it just pisses me off that they are now running with conspiracy theories (which by the way, let them work in some jabs at Clinton and distance Trump from Epstein) as headline news and society just allows that.

And my rant is that my news app does not remove Fox from my feed despite me telling it to purge Fox numerous times.

Every effing time.
Was yesterday at a Salsa party.
I managed to dance with a nice girl. Exactly my type, nice to talk to, educated, big boobs.
We chatted nicely, and it was early in the night. So I told myself that I will ask her for another dance later, and get her number then.
Next time I saw her when she was leaving early from the party with her female friends.
I really need to get my feces together and not postpone stuff. I have missed out on so many chances in this area because I said “next time“ or similar things, and the “next time“ then never happened.
I am angry at myself .

It's hard for almost everyone, I think you got courage.

It would not be the least bit difficult to build a cell in which a prisoner hanging himself was entirely impossible.

Wanna bet? When I got arrested they took away my boots, not for fear I would kick someone but because they had very long laces. So just for spite when they came to get me I pointed to my shirt, which I had fashioned into a more than adequate suicide tool. And there is no question that the holding cell I was in was designed with "no hangings" in mind.

Russia?
My opinion formed the second after I heard Epstein killed himself.


Epstein's death has been joked about for weeks before yesterday.
I read about his previous suicide attempt 18 days ago and being placed on suicide watch.

Now he is dead and the trial is uncertain.

The death of disgraced former financier Jeffrey Epstein in a Manhattan jail leaves his accusers and investigators with unanswered questions and diminished hopes for a full accounting of his alleged wrongdoings.

I have lost faith in the system.
The incompetence is simply unbelievable.
It is unbelievable.

Suicide at the jail, which serves mainly as a holding facility for about 765 men and women awaiting trial for federal crimes of all levels, is rare.

A review of published stories found only one such death in the past 21 years, the 1998 suicide of South Philadelphia drug kingpin Louis Turra, who reportedly hanged himself.

A handful of suicide attempts were also reported.

But life in the specialized units often involves inmates being watched by cameras in their cells and checked by guards almost constantly.

What I need to hear to banish the forming conspiracy theory singularity, is that a camera recorded everything and they were just too late to stop him.
That would 100% appease me, and I would accept he committed suicide.

Since you also posted in the Raves thread about drunkenness, maybe you were too emphatic on your appreciation of her physical features?

 

[The_J]

She didn't reject me, I just didn't ask in time .
No clue what the outcome would've been, but you never know.
And I was also only a bit drunk, and not wasted .

EDIT: But yeah, her boobs were really nice.
So sad .

I despise buying shoes.

I get between 200 to 300 km per pair, and I don't get a linear additive effect when I invest in more expensive shoes. The $30 pair I got at Payless' liquidation got me a little over 250 km and now I need to get a new pair in a city that is suspiciously bereft of budget shoe retailers. I once invested in a $120 pair of shoes and got... 250 km out of them, so I'm not entirely jazzed with the idea of possibly needing to spend 2-4x more for a stagnant return.

If there's nothing to attach it to, how does it work?

 

[Takhisis]

I can think of at least two practical ways of doing it but CFC's mods come down heavily on what might be construed as suicide advice so I won't post it here.

 

[Cutlass]

I'd just build a cell that had nothing above knee height that anything could be tied to.

I once invested in a $120 pair of shoes and got... 250 km out of them, so I'm not entirely jazzed with the idea of possibly needing to spend 2-4x more for a stagnant return.

If the sole is coming off the shoe, I've had good luck cleaning out the area, applying a quarter of a tube of gorilla glue (sticky and won't snap like super glue), holding the shoe together tightly, and then wrapping it tightly together with duct tape.

Smooth down and soak up the excess glue oozing out the sides with a fingertip holding a paper towel, then let the shoe dry for 24 hours. (Actually, do this before the tape wrap)

Take the tape off next day, and the shoe is back to work. (Don't do this if footing is crucial like a steel worker or a runner, buy a new pair)


It has a 50% success rate for the following month, and it can sometimes lower the comfort of the bottom of the inside of the shoe with hardened glue, but the $1.50 attempt is well worth it for $50 shoes that would otherwise go in the trash.

Also, if one shoe breaks, buy an identical pair and you have 1 out of 2 backup shoes already.

Anyway, yes it is infuriating when they last less than a month.

 

[Synobun]

Thanks, but it's actually the bottom of the shoes tearing apart. I have an odd foot shape and have had my gait checked. It's fine, but the shape of my foot is particularly unkind to the lifespan of shoes. I've tried glue but it returns lifespan for about 10-15 km before tearing again, and the waterproofing is completely eliminated after the first break.

I've tried steel-reinforced shoes, but what ends up happening is that the steel is (mostly) fine while the rest of the shoe is in shambles.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

If there's nothing to attach it to, how does it work?

There's light fixtures unless you are tossing the captives into a dark hole, and there are legally mandated smoke detectors. Admittedly, without my combined height and reach I don't know if I could have defeated the cell I was in and that would make it safe for a vast majority...at least in terms of hanging.

Stop looking at her chest and look in her eyes. That will get you way farther right off the bat. You won't need to wait. She will flirt with YOU.

Just my $0.02

I found that to have a really low rate of success. Then again, physical attractiveness and presentation of class and confidence dwarfs about everything at that stage in a "social pickup" environment. Dance parties/bars really suck, unless that's your game. Either way, a fine chest is more than adequately appreciated from the side of ones eyes. The peripheral vision over emphasizes any movement, a plus, and lets the imagination fill in its own details. Again a plus. And shoot, it aint even demeaning. Lots of people be pretty in all sorts of ways. Eyes are way sexier than just about anything if your the right type of nerd. I usually like brown, but hazel are right up there. For the life of me I can't figure out why that wouldn't be just as shallow. Especially since it can be really super easily wanked around with cosmetics.

I'm reading a book and the main character keeps screaming at other characters. This is going to be a slog.
