Rotten.com was known for horrible pictures of gore and whatnot, but also contained a collection of interesting, weird and insightful articles at /library. That site is gone now, but the article have been preserved at https://rottenlibrary.net/
Probably more CIA shit hard pass no offense I had a mentally warped neighbor like you 🤔
If by "more CIA shit" you mean critical of AES, then yes.
That's gotta be the funniest way I've ever heard someone describe videos with titles like "woman sent to Chinese heaven by Car" and there is no hope for you whatsoever
rotten.com/library contained articles with text and images, not videos of people dying. The point was to inform, not to shock. It was pretty different from the rest of the website.
Yeah I got that, I'm saying it's giving "I read playboy for the articles"—playboy's articles were also CIA slop. Even a zine released by a music community I have released thru is CIA slop. I have even posted CIA slop
I'm not sure what the connection is between rotten.com and the CIA and what that says about me as a person, but maybe I'm just too far gone to understand.
