Even if it is theoretically possible to overcome it, I don't think that it can be assumed that it's the case for most people, and/or that they wouldn't have preferred death.

Not minimising what you went through, but the specific kind of abuse I was targeting messes up a gigantic amount of things in the brain. You end up being fucked up on so many points that more often than not, it's not possible to recover from.

I've known people struggle for years and years before just dying, and others struggle for decades with problems seeming to get worse rather than better.

Nowadays people try to make it look like it's just one trauma amongst others, but for a lot (most?) of the victims, it's a source of endless suffering and often makes their lives much worse than if they died instead.

And you're not rambling, we're just having a conversation, no worries. This is the internet, if I don't want to read no one forces me to

Let me guess, you are vegan?

Fund my diet, and I will stop eating animals 😛

Ron Johnson

Then take the first 50 members on this list, maybe 75. Maybe 200. Money makes people fine with some pretty terrible stuff.

Okay. Let's just start with Ron Johnson.

I can't find any evidence or quotes of him talking about Trump having raped minors.

Any Trump supporter ever say they believe Trump had sex with minors? Or are you just assuming that every Republican believes Trump raped minors? Because that's what it seems like, and that defies reality.

First time shitposting about politics, huh?

Expecting something public is right up there with expecting UFO/alien disclosure.

What in the ever-loving holy hell is this?

Okay, so I know we all dislike the current administration, and the Epstein files are damning evidence absolutely.

And the sooner this regime changes or the office is vacated, the better for literally everyone on the face of the planet.

But I just want to make sure that everybody understands: there is currently no credible evidence that this has occurred.

There is no credible evidence that cannibalism occurred.

There are some very dubious things we could potentially conjecture about, but there is no evidence suggesting this.

If he said he didn't, that's essentially as good as a confession from him.

A few years ago, I read Marquis de Sade's 120 Days of Sodom. It was one of the most important books I've read because it gave me a new perspective on the depths of human evil. Did not expect to see the Epstein files be such a faithful reenactment...

Those are both bubba

Username checks out

Given that none of the three articles directly address the request, this implies a retraction.

Qanon was Epstein bragging.

I gotcha, so your main goal here is just pointing out that cultures shift over time and we are in such a cultural shift at present and people should be cognizant of that fact. I definitely agree with that.

Not sure why I get down voted for trying to ask enough questions to understand something, but such is my autism. Used to it by now. Thanks for the chat, sorry it took that long. Social paradigms are very complicated to me.

Clinton said that in 1992.

♥️ I tend to be very very cautious when speaking now, autism has gotten me a lifetime of misunderstanding.

Trump had to fuck and eat that kid. He was busting the libs and not fucking kids would have blown his cover

-maga, eventually

Why hasn’t all this been investigated throughly by the DOJ again?

Though there is plenty of evidence they dissolved bodies as well as dumped them as medical waste from a hospital into the ocean.

Now I'm debating whether Republican politicians are as dumb as their followers....

It has. The doj did indeed investigate and found no incredible evidence of cannibalism or anything described in the above comment.

There is in fact not plenty of evidence. There is no evidence.

The sulfuric acid claim gets repeated constantly. Yes, invoices show Epstein purchased several 55-gallon drums of sulfuric acid. What people conveniently omit is the context. The island had a large reverse osmosis desalination system, and sulfuric acid is a very standard industrial chemical used to control pH and prevent scale buildup in those systems. There’s no forensic evidence anywhere in the files suggesting it was used for anything else.

The “medical waste dumped in the ocean” theory doesn’t appear in the Epstein investigation records at all. This seems to be people conflating unrelated scandals, like historical hospital waste dumping cases, with the Epstein story. The FBI and DOJ files make no mention of that method.

There are also viral claims about ritualistic sacrifice or dismemberment on his yacht. Something vaguely like this does appear in the files, but it comes from unverified FBI interview summaries. Agents documented hundreds of tips, and not all of them were credible. Those specific claims were never supported by physical evidence, satellite imagery, or additional witnesses.

Finally, the “Project Medbirth” or MedBeds documents circulating online are simply fabricated. The document numbers cited in those posts don’t exist in the DOJ archive.

In short, the files confirm Epstein was involved in systemic trafficking and abuse. That alone is horrific. But the acid body-disposal and medical-waste theories appear to come from misread documents and internet myth-making rather than anything substantiated in the records.

Look I'm not a supporter of anything Epstein related. I'm not trying to justify anything, I'm just looking at the evidence. And making up crap and summarily believing in crap on the internet isn't helping any of this.

Just trust me bro investigative services? You got a source? Because it in reality the DOJ was negligent and didn’t investigate

Do you have any other hobbies besides defending pedofiles and making up fake facts that exonerate them?

It implies nothing - I'm explaining with evidence that politicians don't say everything they think, and are, in fact, afraid to say anything against Trump publicly because it means they might lose their seats or money.

I am spoon-feeding you this. Denial on your part implies willful ignorance or being the worst wannabe troll on Lemmy.

In 2040: Yes, we have a library of the genetic material of almost every child, from which we create a clone each night to eat the next day - but I only eat originals if I'm feeling really peckish!

Okay, and do you have any independent sources that proved contrary to what the doj has so far released and concluded?

What source would you like for me to provide? You can just Google it if you want.

I mean here's a quick thing from Yahoo if you want to take a look.

This is easily verifiable. I don't understand what your issue is.

Okay douche nozzle. Do you have any credible evidence to substantiate the ridiculous claims being made about the Epstein files?

Because as far as I can see, the crimes that were already proven to have occurred on that island are horrific and beyond the comprehension of normal human behavior.

Adding absurd internet fiction to crimes that are already unimaginably terrible does nothing to help the situation. It only spreads misinformation.
