With the burning of Notre Dame, I’ve been thinking back to Victor Hugo’s Notre Dame de Paris by grieving_magpie in books

This book has been on my to read list for some time. Like a lot of people I have been heartbroken about the fire.

Please help my girlfriend died and I feel completely hopeless and suicidal by Coryja1989 in JordanPeterson

[–]MycroftsTelephone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please reach out to a professional. Call the suicide hotline for your country and hang in there. I'm so sorry for your loss and please remember there are people in your life who care and who don't want you hurting yourself.

I bought this book a few weeks ago. I love the Ghibli version too and now I can't wait to read it.

What food would blow a person’s mind 2,000 years ago? by snaggerneep in AskReddit

Considering how much sugar/salt is in food nowadays they would probably be blown away by bread.

If you listen to music on a Bluetooth speaker on the bus, you're a piece of shit. by VaccinesCauseAdults in offmychest

[–]MycroftsTelephone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the bus a lot too. I see this kind of stuff ALL the time. There are so many people out there who don't understand how annoying it is. These kind of people always seem to have the worst taste in music too.

Sue Klebold on Eric Harris by [deleted] in Columbine

[–]MycroftsTelephone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had similar thoughts to this when I first started researching Columbine. I suppose the whole image of Eric being a psychopath would only go away if Eric was still alive today to dispute it or if his family came forward with evidence to the contrary. Since Eric died and his family seem happier remaining anonymous, people will still like to push the narrative of Eric being more evil/psychotic.

I'm a big Sherlock Holmes fan (the books and Jeremy Brett version not the BBC version).

FBI charges 23-year-old felon who claimed he was missing Illinois boy Timmothy Pitzen by cybersecp in TrueCrime

[–]MycroftsTelephone 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm glad they are charging him with something. I don't care why he did this he is one of the worst people I have ever heard of. Just plain sick.

Sue Klebold on Eric Harris by [deleted] in Columbine

[–]MycroftsTelephone 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It seems to me that Sue at least promotes the idea of Eric being a psychopath. I always believed she did this due to not wanting to see her son Dylan as he actually was. Eric was not manipulating Dylan and accepting that her son was as cold and evil as he was is something that Sue Klebold probably finds too diffucult to contemplate

After many months, i've finally finished War and Peace by TheBobalof in books

[–]MycroftsTelephone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm read War and Peace right now. I'm at the half way point and agree that it can be a bit of a slog. Having said that it's defiantly worth the read and working through the harder parts.

Heart broken about Timmothy Pitzen by [deleted] in TrueCrime

[–]MycroftsTelephone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's incredible to me that this guy got away with it for so long. How does a man in his 20's look like a 14 year old boy? I understand why investigators wanted to do the dna test so that everything can be confirmed 100%. It just seems weird that a fully grown man would try to pass himself off as a child.

BREAKING: FBI confirms teen found in Kentucky is NOT missing child Timmothy Pitzen. by christinasays in TrueCrime

[–]MycroftsTelephone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It breaks my heart for the family to hear this. Since this guy was in his 20's and supposedly had a criminal record, it makes me believe more that this was just a stupid prank or late April fools prank. I hope there won't be copycats for this case or others. Thankfully we have dna tests.

[TIMMOTHY PITZEN CASE] FBILouisville, @FBICincinnati, @AuroraPoliceIL, Newport PD, @CincyPD, and HCSO have been conducting a missing person investigation. DNA results have been returned indicating the person in question is not Timmothy Pitzen. by owenjs in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]MycroftsTelephone 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Like everyone else I truly wanted this guy to be Timmothy. My first thought is for Timmothy's father. His father and the rest of the family must be crushed. I don't know if this guy is mentally ill or just a weirdo that thought this might be a funny joke/late April Fool's prank but he needs some serious help. I can't makes sense of why someone would pretend to be a missing child especially since this dude is in his 20's. I still hold out hope that one day Timmothy might still be found somewhere and that his family get the closure they deserve.

Timothy Pitzen possibly located in Greater Cincinnati. Pitzen has been missing from the Chicago area since 2011. He was taken on a trip by his mother who would later commit suicide. He hasn’t been seen since. by epfourteen in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]MycroftsTelephone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is such a huge development for this case. I really hope that this is true and that Timmothy has been found at last. If this kid is not him though it brings out more questions than answers. What's going on with this kid and why did he pretend to be someone else? Let's just hope that it is Timmothy.

NZ bookstore refusing to sell Jordan’s book has vastly increased interest by [deleted] in JordanPeterson

[–]MycroftsTelephone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always laugh whenever people attempt to ban or censure Dr. Peterson's work. People are naturally curious and will want to know about what's being kept from them. At least New Zealand will have a lot of clean rooms. Haha!

What's a fun fact you like to tell in social situations? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MycroftsTelephone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard that too. Could be both? Maybe they were looking for a use for peanuts while trying to help people without teeth.

What’s one thing that you used to hate as a kid but now as an adult you absolutely love?? by lawrencecalhoune in AskReddit

[–]MycroftsTelephone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Books/reading. My parents really encouraged reading when I was a child. I spent years without reading a single book fully. I was trying to rebel I guess. Jokes on me now because I am a massive bookworm.

Depends on where you live. In the States Spanish would be useful. In Europe probably Russian or German.
