In 2016, a man was arrested in Guatemala, accused of killing 21 women. His name was Gustavo Porta-Cuesta Fuentes, he was 31 years old and lived on the Guatemalan coast.
In the extensive backyard of his house they found more than a dozen bodies/bones belonging to young women.
Porta-Cuesta was a civil servant and held a high position in the government, so the case was hushed up and all records disappeared. Even his name was erased. Therefore, there is no information left on the web about this case.
He was sentenced to hang and was expected to be executed around 2022.
What happened is that, in the middle of this year I received a file containing a folder with several sound pieces. Porta-Cuesta was an amateur musician and recorded experimental music on weird albums by the pseudonym LFC. The content of this was leaked and I am making this file available on the internet.
The download is free and clean. The material is very strange, listen at your own risk.

Merry Christmas

Revive the complacent world of candy by discussing and sharing your favorites - hidden gems or underappreciated classics, foreign or domestic, gummy, chocolate, or something else entirely, anything goes.

I have lamented before that it often feels as if all the big candy bars were invented decades ago and that innovation has greatly slowed down these days, especially in the chocolate bar world. One realization I had recently was that there are still people out there trying new things at a mass-production level - it's just that these ideas always get funneled into being a spin-off of an existing candy, for marketing purposes. For example, we're not getting new bite-size chocolate candies ala M&Ms, but we are regularly getting new "flavors" of M&Ms. I still think this is less delightful than an aisle full of products that feel truly distinct, but things could be worse.

You can always go to local candymakers for out-there flavors or ingredients (the quality will be much better too), but there are some unique candies that are probably only really feasible at mass-production scale. I'd love for both to succeed and continue making interesting new candy!

Hell, even bars that had their own name for many years (and still managed to hold their own in the candy aisle) are being bought up and rebranded as spin-off candies. The candy bar formerly known as "Take 5" is now "Reese's Take 5", complete with an orange-wrapper makeover. This makes the bar blend in with all the other Reese's variations on the shelf, and I honestly had no idea it was in there until I looked closer the other week.

Anyway, apparently picrel is the biggest upcoming candy launch, should be in stores Feb '25 - Reese's pieces bark. Would you try it?

Long week, huh

Where do you all come from? I'm going to list some of the boards that I used to use that are gone now so gatekeeping is unnecessary.

THE HOLIDAYS approach rapidly!!!
do you have any fun or cozy things you like to do to celebrate this time of year?

need a real one who's got my back like this
I was more of a colored pencil kid but it's the thought that counts

People throw around the term "terminally online" a lot as an insult, but it kinda sounds like a term out of a cyberpunk novel that's used to talk about the cool people who are deep into the futuristic matrix-surfing subculture

this needs more boards
