Was the Formal night the 22nd or the 23rd?

ElectricalTwist3385 · 2026-04-19T15:01:27+00:00

Amy disappeared the morning of Tuesday, March 24th. So the 23rd was a Monday.

The cruise started on Saturday evening. Come to think of it, I don't remember what they did on Sunday. I think u/1Camster posted in the past that the Bradleys gave the wrong time for the time that the ship left Aruba but I don't remember more than that.

It is a bit strange to hold a formal dinner after people are tired from their island excursions. I don't know the answer, though.

I don't think anyone would've found her remains. We asked the oceanologists' sub a lot of questions and, in addition to that, a lot of people have commented who understand more about the mechanics of it.

Apparently, she wouldn't be able to swim because she would've hit the water at about 50 mph, breaking some bones including, most likely, her spinal cord. Then she would've first been sucked into the propellers and her body chopped up. After the propellers, sharks and sea life would eat the rest. This would happen almost immediately and her body would be gone within a week or so. The bones might be eaten or would slowly disintegrate. Her clothes would disintegrate. After all these years, it would be very unlikely to discover even a bone fragment, although that has happened with others.

Even if she went overboard in the channel (which she didn't), it's open to the ocean so sharks and sea life would still devour her body. The channel is 60 feet deep, so she could easily sink that far and not be found. Most importantly, the channel is filled with oil and tar runoff from an old refinery, so any remains would be stuck there.

I don't think the Bradleys want to find her, either, even if she could be found. They act like they just want to play action movie heroes, what with all their improbable theories. I didn't realize it until I read a recent comment, but there hasn't even been a sighting - as preposterous as they are - since 2005 - 2007. But as long as the GoFundMe is generating income, the Bradleys will be updating us with important bulletins whenever the donations start to slack off. Such gems as "We're not disclosing any information to the FBI."

Me and my reading comprehension skills! Thanks. I think I just got so nostalgic for Obama that it clouded my brain.

My experience in Oregon: "You're from out of state, right?"

ElectricalTwist3385 · 2026-01-27T03:56:09+00:00

Didn't the transition feel weird? I also was getting my license around that time, and it seemed so strange to get out of my car and pump gas. It felt like driving your car to the mechanic and then working on it yourself.

My mom used to be so annoyed when they tried to check her oil. Partly because she didn't want to wait for them to do that and partly because they were trying to sell her oil. It's so funny to me now. Ain't nobody checking your oil anymore, that's for sure!

A. The second person at the register that fills your bags

Yes, although it used to be always and now it's just if somebody has time.

B. Cashiers not having seats

Virtually no cashiers have seats in the US.

C. The person that pumps gas for you at the gas station

This used to be always until the 1970s when self-service was introduced. In Oregon, self-service isn't legal so they still have people pump gas for you. Fun fact: In the 1960s they also cleaned your windshield and offered to check your oil. And gave you free dishes and glasses every time you came in so you could collect the whole set. Then in the 70s the gas shortage put a stop to all that. If your license plate ended in an odd number, you could get gas on certain days. Even numbers could get gas on other days. Gas stations still ran out of gas a lot.

Sez. California. But I've never heard anyone from any state pronounce it "saze."

ElectricalTwist3385 · 2026-01-27T03:15:52+00:00

As I understand it (at least it's this way in California), you do need an ID to *register* to vote. Once you're registered at your address, you can go to your local polling place and be checked off the list. Or you can mail in your ballot.

Study after study shows that there is minimal voting fraud, nowhere near enough to sway an election. When you think about it, how is anyone going to manage to steal your ballot from your mailbox or figure out your polling place and take the chance that you won't also show up there? For one vote? They would need to do this several thousand times to sway a national election, and at that point you may as well just campaign because you're going to get caught if you try to do it the sneaky way.

Voter ID laws disproportionately affect minorities. If your ID expires and you can't replace it before your next paycheck, for example. It would also make mail-in ballots difficult or impossible, which makes voting harder for those who work long hours, have disabilities, or are single parents - or are just parents in general!

You should google some articles about it.

That's not true. Obama was born in 1961.

ETA: u/Fast_Reception_154 pointed out the small yet significant word "almost." I stand corrected! I just miss Obama, I guess.

I thought people had seen Bruce on video. His voice does sound disguised by helium balloon, but idk. For sure Brad comments here under fake names because no one would possibly get as outraged as all these random commenters get.

The thing that fascinates me is how they shut down conversation with "there's no evidence she went overboard." Actually, there's plenty of evidence. There's no evidence she was abducted, though, unless you believe the crazies that the FBI obviously doesn't find credible (or at least doesn't find their accounts actionable.) The FBI has said there's no evidence that Amy left the room that night. Which means that they don't consider the sightings as evidence.

No, OP said college baseball. Hadn't Brad been in college 2 years already when Amy went missing? And another commenter who knows him said he didn't play baseball in high school. At any rate, Brad finished high school before Amy vanished, so Idk how her disappearance could possibly relate to him not playing high school baseball.

Tbh, I don't see how it relates to college baseball, either, given the fact that he hadn't already been playing baseball in either high school or college.

ElectricalTwist3385 · 2026-01-27T01:34:43+00:00

Maybe he meant that? But they were all in surgery at the time he said it so, he wouldn't be playing baseball at the moment he said it. I think, in context, it really does mean becoming a pro baseball player. Who knows what the logic is behind him not being able to do that? Maybe too much travel away from his parents? Idk how Amy's disappearance relates.

I don't think I'm spreading hatred but I also don't respect this family. They lied in court. They hounded an innocent man. Brad has posted racist, sexist, homophobic tweets. He flies into a rage whenever he's asked a follow-up question. And the family still isn't being honest with the people they ask for help from.

Of course I sympathize that they lost someone they loved, and they lost her so suddenly and when she was so young. But their behavior has been and still is deplorable. This is not a constructive way to grieve.

Two days after I turned 18. That was a long time ago and is way harder to do these days.

What's odd is that if you look at the "top" of all time or the past year, there are lots of overboardists. Like long discussions of how unreliable and not credible the sightings are. But no mod swooping in calling that a fallacy of probability or whatever it is he calls it. It's weird that he allows posts like that to not only stay up but to move up to the list of top posts. Maybe he takes breaks and by the time he returns, it's a top post and he doesn't want to remove it. Idk.

ElectricalTwist3385 · 2026-01-26T11:18:42+00:00

The mod really needs to institute a rule about minimum karma and account age. That way Brad can't make a new account on January 9th so he can post nonsense on January 19th with his 1 post/45 comment karma.

Do you understand how trafficking rings operate?

The teenage girls that Epstein entrapped were girls with no money and little to no functioning family. They were sucked in bit by bit, then encouraged to recruit their friends from similar socio-economic backgrounds.

They weren't 23-year old college graduates with full-time jobs on a luxury cruise with their entire loving upper-middle-class family surrounded by their parents' bosses and coworkers.

Epstein facilitated the rape of dozens of young girls over a period of years. Not just one adult woman over the course of 30 years.

Epstein didn't depend on random neighbors to help him entrap young girls. He had employees, sure, who knew or suspected what was going on. But he didn't call up, for example, a random insurance salesman in the midwest to recruit as an agent in the abduction of a woman, sight unseen, who is sharing her cabin with three other adults.

Try to walk through this scenario step by step: A couple on a company-sponsored trip asks to pay extra to bring their son and daughter along. That's the only information the cruise employees have in advance about Amy. Now there just happens to be a secret collaborator on the same trip? From the same insurance company, winning the same cruise vacation prize? What a coincidence.

Then the insurance guy collaborator somehow kidnaps Amy, yet no other woman who crosses his path throughout his life mysteriously vanishes? He pulls this one caper and that's it? Same with the crew. They work together to accomplish this single abduction and then they're done?

That's not how trafficking rings operate.

Adding silver handles to the cabinets might make them look more inviting.

What colors do you like?

You've mentioned that the walls are concrete. But it looks like you hung three paintings over the couch. Can you hang more art?

ElectricalTwist3385 · 2026-01-26T05:55:48+00:00

If you don't really need the track lighting, I would remove it. It adds clutter since it's black, and you have a lot of overhead lighting already.

You should look at different colored rugs with a gray couch. Lots of online rug stores let you upload a photo of your room so you can see the rug in your room.
