> Why on earth would cartels kidnap engineers when they could just pay them?

Why would an engineer willfully take a cartel job, when there is a high risk of them killing you instead of paying you, and killing you by cutting off your face just because they were bored and disturbed? If a cartel even offered me a job, I'd fear for my life.

View on HN

I have no interest of watching it myself, but there's an infamous video that's been talked about so much I'm reasonably confident it is more or less as described, and yes, it involves skinning someone's face off while they're alive, and using amphetamine injection to ensure they don't pass out.

These people really are as bad as it gets. You don't want to be anywhere close to involved with them.

The video is often re-posted on 4chan and is not the worst of their behavior. Their worst behavior is not permitted on 4chan.

Man I came in here curious about some solar-powered antennas and shit just escalated bigtime. Wow. :(

Yeah torture description is not appropriate for HN IMO.

Why then is so much HN discussion centered around installing and running Windows 11?

That is why I left it out. I would not even begin to describe their activities. I merely pointed out it is not even permitted on the other site.

Yeah, that's the one I'm thinking of. I've only seen the first second of it before turning it off. Truly awful.
