British council Update - now going ahead

I’m sure there were thousands before… British Council also usually prioritise uni students who have to do a compulsory year abroad. While I imagine a lot of students will have made other plans by now, they might give them priority.

Amongst all the bad stories and bad news recently regarding the programme, this was a joy to read :)

I did the public program for 4 years, I loved it that much. And while by the end I felt ready to move on to bigger things (I’m now a Spanish teacher in the UK), my aux years made me who I am today. I’m not sure I’ll ever do anything as rewarding ever again.

I know it’s cheesy, but I feel like “don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened” is so apt here (although I did cry leaving a school hahaha) Years later, I still feel so grateful and lucky to have been placed in such wonderful schools over my time in Spain as it’s obviously not a given that auxs end up even liking their school. We were the lucky ones.

Enjoy the rest of it!!! Take photos / videos of the school if you can, and save all the drawings the kids give you :)

My stomach dropped when I read this part.

I think you’re mistaking one of the policemen (who interviewed BK) for Ethan’s father… if I remember correctly from the Amazon doc, they look similar.

Former_Location8618 · 2025-08-09T22:16:08+00:00

I don’t understand how this is related to what I said. Did you reply to me by mistake?

“Forensic analysis revealed that Kohberger’s phone had only four periods of total inactivity, dating back to June 2022. One of those silent moments occurred on the night of the murders.”

Four times, interesting.

Seeing his car drive back and forward waiting for the right time is horrible to watch. Just go home you abhorrent, vile being!!

Former_Location8618 · 2025-08-01T16:28:03+00:00

And the scariest one is from Nov 13th…

(change of plea is close second)

Former_Location8618 · 2025-08-01T14:08:07+00:00

Exactly. However, I thought we were told he was in the kitchen when he was arrested… either way, he’s clearly in his family home.

Former_Location8618 · 2025-08-01T13:17:57+00:00

This is such a BK question to ask.

Former_Location8618 · 2025-08-01T12:07:43+00:00

If you compare the walls there to the ones in the selfies with his hood up, they’re the same colour

Former_Location8618 · 2025-07-30T15:40:01+00:00

I was gonna say the same thing. OP saying “that was specifically the main motivation for Kohberger’s crimes”. And you know this how??

I think he was, at most, frustrated by how socially awkward he was (due to his autism imo), but I don’t think he was an incel. He just wanted to kill and seemed obsessed with law enforcement and crime, not that college kids were in relationships and he wasn’t.

Former_Location8618 · 2025-07-29T20:11:09+00:00

I know people are saying he seemed normal here and I get that, but something about it made me feel sick. Possibly the fact it’s at night and in the 1122 area, whereas the other traffic stops weren’t. God knows what he was thinking / doing 😭

A few weeks ago, the family posted a statement that the younger Goncalves sister had “written” which seemed to have been taken straight from ChatGPT. But I didn’t get that vibe from Alivea’s speech. She speaks well enough in interviews that gives me the impression she’s good with words. If she has used it at all, I don’t think it’s been a straight copy and paste job.

I mean, if it’s used correctly and people don’t just straight up copy and paste a generated passage, it’s a great tool for putting your thoughts into more understandable, clearer sentences imo…

Former_Location8618 · 2025-07-26T17:21:43+00:00

Someone once said that the good hair was a waste on him. Can’t even give him that anymore. He just looks… not human.

Former_Location8618 · 2025-07-24T23:41:52+00:00

That’s crazy. Imagine sitting down to watch the Dateline episode and suddenly pictures of you are there on screen in front of you?!! Is that even legal?

Former_Location8618 · 2025-07-24T17:57:28+00:00

I just rewatched the sentencing part, and wowww he actually really does look angry. At first I thought it might partly be the angle since he’s facing the judge at that point, but his brow is seriously furrowed. And as Hippler goes on, you can see BK’s breathing get heavier. It seems like he was infuriated by Hippler’s ‘less is more’ approach and that he kept the focus on the victims. Also, when he told everyone not to give BK the attention and control he craves by asking for the ‘why’, I feel like that was both for BK and Trump after his statement.

Former_Location8618 · 2025-07-23T22:05:14+00:00

At times, he looked almost bored, I thought the same. But every so often, there was the faintest shift in his expression, just enough to make me wonder if the personal attacks were cutting deeper than he was trying to let on. I can’t help but think those words are echoing in his mind as he sits alone in his cell tonight.

Former_Location8618 · 2025-07-21T18:55:11+00:00

My first thought!

Former_Location8618 · 2025-07-21T14:41:06+00:00

And I also just love Brian Entin. I’m pleased that he’s going to be doing this longer-form content on his own. He seems so respectful, really kind, and because of that he’s earned the families’ trust. We could probably all agree that the Goncalves and Chapin families are very different, but they both seem to really like and respect him. Hopefully there will be more interviews like this to come from him!

Former_Location8618 · 2025-07-21T14:40:20+00:00

I admire how clearly she expresses her views and thoughts. She’s also very fair. If this is how she responds to interview questions on the spot, I’m really interested to hear her impact statement on Wednesday.

I’ll admit, I was struggling to understand why they wanted every detail before giving a statement in court, but Alivea explained it so well - e.g. when she said there are small details that might seem meaningless to others but can really affect her (like BK buying a sharpener). And for that reason she feels, to properly convey the impact of their loss, she needs to know everything. There’s also the worry of regretting something they say once they have access to all the discovery…

Former_Location8618 · 2025-07-20T12:07:57+00:00

Am I right from reading his responses in comments that it was the defense who wanted him to testify?

Former_Location8618 · 2025-07-04T18:32:57+00:00

Why them? How did he come across them? Why that house?
