Level 1: Asylums are scary because there's crazy people there.

Level 2: We shouldn't treat mental health facilities as objects of horror because it stigmatises mental illness.

Level 3: Asylums are scary because there's psychiatrists there.

I think it's insane that even in the most leftist and "progressive" spaces the idea of equating morality with looks is alive and present and no one fucking bats an eye at it. like racists and mysoginysts are always portrayed as fat and hairy and generally unkept, as a contrast to the morally good and attractive leftists of course; people will have no problem being genuinely fucking awful about someone's appearance if they're deemed to be a "bad person". and the worst part is you point all of this out and people act like you're reading too much into things like no dude you gotta start using your brain more

Every “True Crime” story (that isn’t just complete sensationalist fearmongering) is always like

“Ashley Jones was found murdered in her apartment in 1986, but police couldn’t seem to find any leads. Police were baffled. The case.. went cold. In 2005, a deputee at the Cantalope County Sheriff's Department realized that one of the napkins in the break room was actually a signed witness statement claiming to have seen Bob Smith commit the murder. This witness statement came just days after the killing, but had never been followed up on. Police tracked down the witness, and Bob Smith, now aged 65, was arrested and, accepting a plea deal, was found guilty in January 2007. In 2024, he was released on parole after serving just 17 years of his 20-year sentence. Ashley Jones’s family.. were outraged.. In response, the governor of Mississippi passed ‘Ashley’s Law,’ requiring all prisoners in the state convicted of a felony to serve the maximum sentence possible without the possibility of parole.”

Also there is always a polygraph test even though those have been denounced by the scientific community basically since their invention and don't even count as evidence in court.

Up next:

After the brutal rape and murder of Jane Woods, two suspects were immediately arrested, Dan "Killer" Douglas, whom Jane had a restraining order against and had left her multiple threatening voice mails, and Amy McDonald, a woman.

Detectives immediately zeroed in on Amy's suspicious behavior. When police responded to her call after finding the body of Jane Woods, they noticed she was only crying, not wailing hysterically or fainting as would be typical for a woman in any mildly stressful situation. Police did some digging and made a shocking discovery: Amy wasn't a virgin. With this piece of evidence uncovered, the picture was starting to become clear. Amy was jealous of Jane's looks (like a woman), so she hatched a plan to seduce Dan and have him murder Jane while she watched as part of a perverted sex act. Dan pled guilty, confessing to the rape and murder of Jane Woods and, when asked, said he had no idea who Amy McDonald was. This kind of loyalty was to be expected from a man who was so thoroughly wrapped around the finger of a promiscuous female. Dan and Amy were both sentenced to 25 years, with Amy receiving 1 extra year for being a bitch.

4 years into Amy's sentence, her legal team was able to get an independent review of the evidence, which found that several of the 200 witnesses, which placed Amy on the other side of town at the time of the murder but were first thought to only be saying so because they were under her slut seductress spell, actually had indisputable video evidence that was not collected by police. Amy's case was thrown out, and she was released from prison.

The family of victim Jane Woods had this to say upon Amy's release: "I just don't understand how this could happen. It's like our whole world has gotten turned upside down again, even more so than when Jane was taken from us. Justice was served, and now it's not. We will be in the courthouse tomorrow morning requesting that she be retried, and this time we will be demanding the death penalty."

autism tests are so funny. I'm extremely literal most of the time, but people don't tell me that generally, so I'm inclined to answer disagree. because I'm taking the statement too literally

Why don’t we let the guy whose every plan could be reasonably construed as an abstract suicide attempt take a crack at it

"don't assign human morality to non human things" is so true except when it comes to printers. they know what they are, they understand dilemmas and ethics and morality. they choose to be how they are, they choose to be evil, at their very core they are rotten
