WTF is going on?

I've got some insecurities just like anyone else but these guys seem to be way overboard.

Inside Incels' Looksmaxing Obsession: Penis Stretching, Skull Implants And Rage | HuffPost
Quote:

Unhappy with how they look, thousands of young men are joining anonymous message boards such as Lookism.net to dissect their looks and exchange detailed tips on looksmaxing — their term for enhancing their appearance. Penis stretching, eyebrow botox, wrist enlargement, “neck training,” nostril shrinking and 3D-printed skull implants are among the desired procedures and “coping strategies” discussed at length on these sites.

Lookism.net bills itself as a forum for incels, or men who identify as “involuntarily celibate,” suggesting that users are aware of their faults and “were born into a prison where you cannot escape.” Many members are young men who say they are unable to sexually attract women because of their looks. But it’s not just about sex: Looksmax forums are echo chambers for shame, hatred and entitlement. Users fixate on their perceived flaws and rage against the women who, they say, deny them sex — something they feel they are owed.
:
This distorted view of women fuels violent resentment. On Incels.me, one of the more extreme incel forums that has hosted more than 1 million messages in less than a year, men routinely argue that violence against women is justified because women deny unattractive men their “right” to sex.
:
Posts from men who say they dream of “going ER” ― a reference to Rodger’s attack ― are common in incel and looksmax forums. Since his killings, there have been other, similar attacks, including one in April this year when a man rammed a van into a crowd of pedestrians in Toronto, killing eight women and two men. The suspect, 25-year-old Alek Minassian, wrote a post on Facebook shortly before the massacre, declaring the “Incel Rebellion has already begun!” and vowing to “overthrow all the Chads and Stacys” ― an incel reference to good-looking men and women.

After a gunman killed a woman and a 10-year-old girl this Sunday in Toronto, incel message boards lit up with excitement that it was possibly the work of a fellow incel. Police have yet to identify a possible motive.

Anders Breivik, a far-right Norwegian terrorist who killed 77 people in 2011 when he was 32, also expressed violent misogyny and obsessed over his looks, reportedly undergoing cosmetic surgery on his forehead, nose and chin before the attack.

Other recent mass murderers held up as misogynist “heroes” by incel communities include George Sodini, who killed three people and himself in a 2009 attack at a women’s aerobics class in Pennsylvania; Seung-Hui Cho, who killed 32 people in Virginia in 2007 after reportedly stalking two women; and Marc Lépine, who separated male and female students at a Montreal engineering school in 1989 and opened fire, killing 14 women.

Whatever happened to a magazine, a sock and smile?

The incels have been around a long time - it's just in the past decade they've been able to find each other online and band together in mutual misery, misogyny, and MRA masturbatory sessions.

Loneliness does terrible things to a human mind. Not to mention that males who can't get laid are still a culturally acceptable target of ridicule.

Ah yes, group therapy, except that actually working toward healthy ends, only to reinforce the negative ones. It's a curious effect of social psychology.

I actually hope the FBI is monitoring those forums. It may be a 1A issue but some of them sound really dangerous.

Paul McCartney Details, in New Profile, the Time He Masturbated With John Lennon

Quote:

“What it was,” he said, “was over at John’s house, and it was just a group of us. And instead of just getting roaring drunk and partying — I don’t even know if we were staying over or anything — we were all just in these chairs, and the lights were out, and somebody started masturbating, so we all did.”

Felon named ‘Fellony' charged with new felonies

KOIN Staff - PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) - Fellony Hudson, a 22-year-old man from Salem, Oregon, is accused of felony kidnapping, felony eluding, felony possession of a stolen vehicle and nearly a handful of misdemeanors after being pursued by police across state lines.

Hudson appeared in court Wednesday afternoon in Multnomah County Circuit Court where he was formally charged with a total of 3 felonies and 4 misdemeanors.

According to Vancouver Police spokesperson Kim Kapp, officers received a report around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday of a female being assaulted inside a moving vehicle. The vehicle was traveling northbound on C Street in Vancouver. The driver, later identified as Hudson, ran a red light and continued to drive erratically.

Kapp said the vehicle had been reported stolen out of Portland about a week ago.

Patrol units in Vancouver caught up with the vehicle in the area of Fourth Plain Blvd. and Norris Street. Hudson, according to Kapp, refused to stop. The chase spanned several miles and eventually took law enforcement on southbound I-205.

Police said that based on their observations, it appeared that a woman - known to Hudson - was attempting to jump out of the vehicle as it was in motion, but that he was seemingly preventing her.

The pursuit entered Oregon and Portland Police helped with the pursuit.

Eventually, the chase entered Gresham city limits, according to a Gresham police spokesperson. While Gresham officers did not join in on the pursuit, they did assist with setting up spike strips.

The vehicle that Hudson was driving was successfully hit with a set of spike strips, which caused at least one of the vehicle's tires to deflate, bringing the chase to an end near Western Kia in Gresham. Hudson nearly hit a K-9 officer assigned to the Gresham Police Department while the officer was setting up to deploy the spikes, police said.

Eventually, Hudson was taken into custody.

Jail records indicate the woman inside the car with Hudson was his ex-girlfriend. The case is now being prosecuted by the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office Domestic Violence unit.

According to his criminal record, he has been convicted of at least 4 felonies in Washington. Records also show that he told jail staff he is transient, or has no permanent address.

Jail records also show that at the time of his booking into the Multnomah County Detention Center, Hudson told staff that he uses meth daily and that he was high when he was booked into jail. He also told jail staff that he uses heroin weekly, according to jail records.

Hudson will be back in court later this month.

He will be charged in Washington with first-degree kidnapping, attempt to elude, and fourth-degree assault, according to Kapp.

Disney Employees Say The Theme Parks Are Popular For Scattering Cremated Ashes | HuffPost
Quote:

Disney theme parks have ranked among the world’s most popular vacation spots for decades. But for some guests, the resorts are a much more, ahem, permanent place of rest.

Employees at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, and Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, tell The Wall Street Journal that the parks have become a favorite spot for visitors to scatter the cremated ashes of their loved ones.

A Disney spokeswoman said such scattering of ashes on company property was “strictly prohibited and unlawful,” adding that guests attempting to do so with the remains of family members or friends “will be escorted off property.”

But that hasn’t stopped some guests from going to great lengths ― like smuggling ashes into the parks via prescription pill bottles and makeup compacts ― to ensure their loved ones can spend eternity at the Happiest Places on Earth, according to the report.
