    Should I also watch Loose Change because it’s compelling and would leave me flabbergasted if I didn’t do any other research?

    One of the two kids who the documentary follows makes an outrageous claim that we already know is fake based on the word of the person who allegedly experienced it. Just because you enjoyed it doesn’t mean it’s accurate.

    I don’t even have any skin in he game (I don’t like Jackson’s music, personally), but the rhetoric around the man has always been contentious, and not always consistent. I’m not going to waste tons of time on a subject I don’t care about by watching a documentary that I already know includes a major falsehood from one of the primary subjects.

    Honestly, I wasted more of my life on this subject than I wanted just responding here, so duces.

    It matched the description of his dick, except for the question of whether he was circumcised. Prosecutors also raised concerns that Jackson may have altered his dick during his “media break” in Europe, when the allegations of molestation emerged.

    Lol, you sound like a conspiracy nut. Sure, it matches the description of a penis, just not one of the most easily noticeable features of his penis. And that’s easily explained by a ‘modification’ that has been asserted by people known to lie to win cases. Iron clad logic there, Sherlock.

    The fact they only “raised concerns” about it, despite nothing of the sort being mentioned in the autopsy, should tell you all you need to know. If he had surgery to alter his dick, they wouldn’t have left out that shit, especially since his penis was going to be a subject of interest for this exact reason. Prosecutors can ‘raise’ whatever concerns they like, that does not mean the concern has any merit aside from trying to shape the narrative.

    To expand on this point, do you think Renee Goode was trying to run over the ice officer just because that’s the way the state portrayed the event? Was Alex Pretti a threat to the officers when they disarmed and murdered him?

    Just for giggles, I chose to check the wiki for leaving neverland…

    Safechuck says Jackson eventually replaced him with Brett Barnes; Robson claims he was replaced by the actor Macaulay Culkin, who is two years older, because Jackson preferred prepubescent boys

    Funny, Culkin explicitly says nothing ever happened. Culkin must just be lying though, right? One of the people in that documentary said he was the next in line, so that’s that.







  • Certs are really only for HR.

    I’d add on vendor managers to that list. Most ‘larger’ (read: more than 50 employees) orgs I’ve been at also cared about vendor certifications because it could make or break their partnership level if they didn’t have enough certified employees to make the cut. That’s why I got my ccna a decade ago (and haven’t renewed it since I left there), because my company needed more certs and they gave me a 2k/yr pay bump to get certified.







  • Try to let your “self” “die” when you can. I have trouble being around my “self” at times, and I’ve found the best way to deal with that is to let the part of you see as that “self” fall away from your mind and just exist. That little “death” can help you to be more in the moment and less in your own head dealing with whatever ruminations are rattling around in there today.

    I definitely want to try psychedelics at some point to truly experience ego death/ego loss, but my methods work well enough for me.
