Newspaper strip of Garcia being a potential victim, along with 6 others, of the Mass Murders. Aug. 11, 1973
Top Comment:
On July 6, 1973, Elmer Wayne Henley began attending classes at the Coaches Driving School in Bellaire, where he became acquainted with 15-year-old Homer Luis Garcia.
The following day, Garcia telephoned his mother to say he was spending the night with a friend; he was then sexually assaulted and tortured before he was shot and left to bleed to death in Corll's bathtub.
He would then be buried at Lake Sam Rayburn until being uncovered on August 9th.
He would be successfully identified and laid to rest at Woodlawn Cemetery.
Rest In Peace Homer (Feb. 10, 1958- Jul. 7, 1973)

Top Comment: Worth adding he was persecuted by the Government and chemically castrated for the crime of being gay. The Government then didn't even apologise for his horrendous treatment until 2009 and it wasn't until 2014 that he was posthumously pardoned. The pardoning was delayed due to a Tory politician blocking the legislation to do so.
Today marks my 65 day, my benefits

first of all forgive my english, its only my third language
Im a 35M who has been jerking off since i was 13 and porn since i was 19 or so, spent many many years jerking off at lest once a day thinking that was something normal and even healthy like health professionals on TV say "you should explore your body" bla bla bla... nonsense!
this weekend i went to a mall and i noticed my charisma and confidence had improved a lot, woman at the supermarket looking me different, market cashier treating me different starting conversation and giving me signals that they are into me, im being excessively confident and charismatic with sales woman even made a friend, even with dudes i was different and more sociable, im very introvert and this is so rare to me, thats how i knew my effort was paying off
I wasnt counting the days, had to scroll down youtube history and see the date i saw the video that triggered me i remember very well that detail
It took me years to get to this mark and i regret so much losing so much time and energy in a disgusting and immoral habit, i heard about nofap for the first time about 5 years ago, i knew it was bad since then, but it became a habit and a addiction
I read the timeline in the nofap website and everything checks out. im so eager to get finally to the 90 days and i can say for certain as God Is my witness i will never watch porn or masturbate again in my life, i ask God forgiveness everyday for my weaknesses but this one will not be one of them anymore.
I feel a constant need to improve myself and everyday this feeling gets stronger, i learn to love my life and love myself. im more consistent with my training very rarely skip one day, if i cant go to the gym i go to the park do some calistenics and then take my dog to walk for 10 miles or so. im taking care of my diet, now with this growing willpower in me i can go to a bd party and decide not to eat junk food or soda, i socialize get home and eat a juicy steak for my protein and natural foods such as home made yogurt, olives and pickled veggies. im taking care of my skin, my hair never looked better, im much more attractive now than in my 20s, im more connected to people, and more spiritually connected to God, praying everyday and really feeling that God is happy with my latest decisions.
I can say the female attraction, a controversial topic i know, its very real, for many reasons IMO, your skin and hair gets better, your confidence and charisma aswell, and because you are not doing some disgusting thing that you need to hide from others you get an aura your spirit gets a boost call it what you want i can feel that, pretty girls are turning their heads to see me and that never happened before, i allways considered myself to be a 6 im not someone super attractive, i believe all this positive changes make me now a 8, dont expect a model will date you after a year of nofap or something but it will definitely raise your chances with women, i can see woman falling in love with me now and like wetting their pants(figuratively ofc) its unreal, and i dont think of them as sexually anymore, i see them as a person, i care more about what we have in common than her body, breast/butt size or whatever, and i can see which ones have this over sexualized mind like i had and i feel sorry for them, they wouldnt understand if i explain this to them.
i was cronic depressed for decades, hated myself, many times i wished i didnt existed, those toughts are further away each day it passes, its not just nofap, its coupling everything together understanding the meaning of life, that we have to be good people, and improve everyday. i wish i knew that before, that many girls are explored in the porn industry. many videos i saw wasnt with the girls consent and in some they didnt even knew they were being recorded, im so ashamed of that, that makes you a bad person consuming this kind of content period
probably worth mention that Im not dating ATM and im focusing on my self improvement, i dont know if semen retention had any part of this, but what im describing im not over exaggerating or anything on the contrary, of course not every day is perfect, i have ADHD, rejection disphoria and anger issues and i have my bad days but they are becoming less and less frequent, definitely im in the peak of my life right now and seeing so much room for improvement its unreal.

Rest in peace, Daniel. You did not deserve this at all. And Charles Langley, Philip Brailsford, if you are seeing this, FUCK. YOU. One day the consequences of what you did to this poor man WILL catch up to you.

[ALBUM] Today marks the 20th anniversary of the final F-14 Tomcat launched by USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76). Since I can't find my picture of it, here's aircraft pictures from my first couple underway periods; F-14, EA-6B, S-3B, and F/A-18C, none of which can be seen on an active carrier today.

Top Comment: TITLE EDIT - There might still be some USMC F/A-18C out there, I can't keep them all straight. These photos feel like 1980-something, not 2003/2004.
