Beltran getting by with no punishment seems hilarious.

Yeah I binged cats last night and it was very well done. I can't believe I was completely oblivious to that story. I came away with the same conclusion that the internet mob basically did nothing. Until they were given the name they basically narrowed it down to North America, and that's about it. I was let down given that most I read/heard about the doc was that they solved the case. Their frustration at police also seemed misguided as the Toronto PD sent officers to the condo they pinpointed, but he had moved on, and after the murder the Montreal PD had a shit ton of evidence and his ID so it was only a matter of time.
Question. I must have gotten up to pee, but did the facebook group provide the video of the murder to the police?
I think one of the main complaints by the Facebook group was they heard nothing from the police after they sent over the information. I remember hearing one of the cops had gone on vacation and nobody checked his email or something goofy like that. I think they did send over the video because they waited and heard nothing until it popped up on the news and their Google alerts.

they intentionally didn't make this super clear - it was almost as if they wanted the facebook stalker/sleuths to get more of the credit. but the entire operation was saved by someone simply telling them who to look for. the message (i believe) came from a random woman. then, later on in the show, when they talked about how he had a bunch of socks/fake social media accts, they listed them, and the woman's name was on the list.
so assuming all else is accurate, he tipped them off himself. which makes sense all things considered.
someone said upthread that the facebook detectives were pretty pointless, and i agree. they didn't do much. i love the idea of crowdsourcing (like sicking the shaggy/surly mafia on someone) but it's typically more like this show. a bunch of noise and rabble-rousing, which is amusing to watch, but often does more harm than good.
to me, the biggest "holy shit" moment of the series, was the fact that they saw someone hurting animals, and said "we need to find out who this is, because this is the type of person who eventually murders someone." and then he murdered someone. and taped it. i did not see that coming.
i don't know the answer to #2.
There seems to be large amount of killers who hurt animals before they switched to people. Ted Bundy, Jefferey Dahmer, Son of Sam, all admitted to hurting animals. More recently the douche bag who shot up the high school in Florida had posted online about killing animals in a ridiculous way.

There is a podcast called Mafia that is pretty good. It deals with specific individuals that were in the mafia but covers a good amount of general history as well.

this is why i question when i hear stories on NPR about people having big retirement accounts but were wiped out in the great recession and now live in a broom closet. did they sell everything at the bottom?
From a few things I've seen, it seems like a lot of the older people who were wiped out still had portfolios that were very aggressive and were heavy in stocks even though they were near retirement age. Also, it seems like a good portion had money tied up in mortgages they couldn't afford in a house that was worth less than they were currently paying at that time. I'm sure there was a lot more to it then those two things but that seemed common.

Wally has effectively rebalanced his investments, and I expect the pain to being any day now - you've been forewarned, proceed cautiouslyDumb question, is there an easy way to go about shorting the market when the inevitable downturn happens?

Got a quick question for the experts. I’m opening a Roth IRA with vanguard and plan on picking out an index fund. Any suggestions on which one? I didn’t realize there was so many to choose from so it took me by surprise.

I remember the old place had an entire thread on investing for retirement. I may have missed it but is there a similar one here?

Love Ruiz but damn if he didn't show up 15 pounds heavier then the last fight. I think Joshua probably takes this fight and reclaims his belts.

I’m a Trump guy and a lot of my immediate family is as well. I do have a good amount of extended family and friends that are pretty hardcore left wing. Like everything else, most are pretty good people regardless of their affiliation. But like everything else a few are just dickheads. The people who cause problems over politics are just using politics as an outlet. They would be pulling some other BS at these events even if they didn’t care who was president. Case and point, go see the Bitch About Your Family Holiday Thread.

The pecan pie from Goode Company BBQ is legit. Favorite dessert by far.
