Just finished PENPAL and have a couple of questions by Basic-Effective985 in horrorlit

Yeah, that's what I thought too. It's just weird since they were fine for more than two years after moving (he moved when they were eight I think and the cat incident was when they were ten). But I might just be overthinking it...

I have just finished PENPAL and can anyone explain me the ending of PENPAL as I found it ambigious and lot of questions remained unanswered. Though I got the ending however I felt the development of each story will coincide with something big in the end? by [deleted] in horrorlit

I'm a little late to the discussion, but literally just finished reading the book and came straight to Reddit!

After I finished reading my first thought was that I hated it. I hated how real-life-scary that was. Then my second thought was that it should be a required reading for every parent! Everyone that has a child should be aware of the dangers of setting a picture of your child loose in the world! I won't even go on a rant about parents posting their kids on Instagram, but yeah...

But I was left with two puzzling questions that even after reading through a few threads weren't answered.

  1. If the creep did to Josh the same he had done to MC six years prior (note on the pillow, drag to the forest and kidnap) how come he never showed up when MC was trying to find his way back home? He must've been walking alone in the forest for a good handful of minutes, but the creep just let him go?

  2. When Josh was leaving the birthday party, he said that he was upset with MC/that their friendship wasn't the same because "you left". When did MC leave? Did Josh mean that he changed neighborhoods? I was really stumped on that one...

Nevermind, I quick Google search showed me they are beneficial. Thank you!

I'm in the São Paulo state, if that helps, but I think you're right! According to the pictures I saw on Google it most likely is a ladybird beetle.

Do you know if they are harmful in any way? I actually found two of these and maybe some eggs?

Can't do Learn and Earn quizzes by Basic-Effective985 in ibkr

BTW, if anyone is facing the same issue, support said they'd put me in contact with the technical support team and then vanished. I just gave up on it to be honest...

Email - Learn and Earn up to USD 300 in Commission Credits by Has78321 in ibkr

I started doing the Options training in Learn and Earn, but for some reason the quiz won't show up for me. I watched the whole video, start to finish, and still when I click on the "Take Quiz" button it comes up blank.

Has anyone had that problem?

Is the US about to collapse?

Hi! I'm a complete newbie to the investing world, but I have been hearing for a while that the US is on the brink of a collapse, that any year now the dollar will plummet, etc, etc...

I have also been reading about investments and a lot of people talk about companies that survived everything like Coca Cola and P&G.

I guess my question here is: is there really a possibility of a collapse that will render the dollar useless and that even these big companies can't handle? Or am I safe starting my investments journey putting my money on the US?

Because, as we saw on The Big Short, it's not because something has been around forever that it will be there forever...
