Just pulled this from September 2001, I imagine it came out before 9/11. It’s a fictional story based on Timothy Mcveih.

"PUZZLE MAN

WHEN A SOLDIER DIES WITH HIS SECRETS

I am not crazy, no matter what people say. I have valid reasons for everything I did, and I am at peace. My complete story will never be told, but when my heart is stopped by Uncle Sam’s pherma-ceuticals, my spirit will ascend like a white balloon over the Wabash River and fly up to heaven. God will welcome me into his house, saying, “Well done, my good and faithful servant. You followed your beliefs end acted on them. You have been a steadfast patriot to your cause, and I hereby place you at my right hand.”

Life isn’t so difficult here, but I do face a few problems. Especially when I try to sleep, because the children always appear in my dreams and ask me to play with them. They have Tonka toys and coloring books and Nerf balls, and they pull me toward the puzzle that lies scattered on the big table in the day care center.

That puzzle bothers them a lot. They want to complete it. They circle around it and ask me for help. “What is it supposed to be?” they ask me. They laugh and push the pieces of the puzzle around on the table and look at me with hopeful eyes. And at that moment in my dreems, I know these children are alive and at play in the fields of eternity.

FICTION BY ASA BABER"

I wish I could get a bunch of these printed out, it’s hard on my eyes attempting to read on these goddamn black mirrors.

It’s called child exploitation, “sextortion” makes it sound like a Cirque du Soleil performance.

In the ever so pretensious words of Walt Whitman…

“English is the greatest language ever!! It’s as great as life itself! Also death!”

We used to bust out GTA2 as a “break game” during 48-72 hour Quake lans.

If you manage to get your hands on the Playboy PDF full dump, the articles contain stuff very similar OPs quote.

Not sure about old timer Playboy’s but the mid to late 2000s have quite a few incredible articles. Lots of them are future predictions by various in the know type individuals. I notice some articles and or “write ups” had zero editorial oversight. None. It makes for some refreshingly honest opinions. No holds bar essentially. Some of the tech predictions are mind blowing.

The “nudy pics” are an annoyance. Given today’s pron desensititation, the air brushed titties and mia bushed out vaginas are weak af, not to mention the lack of “moving pictures”. I just scroll past them along with the ads until I reach another article section.
