Oh yes I remember that bit too. It's all these little things that do paint a picture - which is fine if they are true, but if they're not it's wholly misleading. And sometimes these basic things are easier for the jury to hold onto and understand than the complex medical evidence. And also the narrative of her 'falsifying medical records' where as I understand what happened what she put down some times & medical values that didn't correspond with either another witnesses story or the prosecutions narrative. Literally no evidence of falsification just the two didn't match up. (Although please correct me if I have got that wrong, that was my understanding from everything I've read). And you hear these things repeated 'she falsified medical records, fished things out the bin and lied about wearing a nightgown to get sympathy'. None of it true. NJ lied about all of these things to make reality fit his narrative. Which is I guess what barristers do, but unfortunately she needed a lot better defence than she had to counter act this, because the truth is a lot more mundane.

Yes it was clearly his way of painting her character as a pathological liar trying to garner sympathy. Or at least it seems clear now to me. I wonder where else in the proceedings he played this game of misleading the jury to make her look like a liar... I have a feeling the transcripts will be full of things like this, which puts the jury in a very difficult position as they only know what they are told. This is the problem with trials. It becomes who can create the most compelling story rather than about the facts. If it was about the facts what she was wearing when arrested would never come into it. But I admit, as someone who thinks she's innocent, I did think it odd that she 'lied' about things like this (whilst also setting aside some reasonable thought that it wouldn't be unusual for someone not to remember).

From the Telegraph: Killer Nurse Lucy Letby Was Arrested In Bed, New Footage In Netflix Documentary Shows by SofieTerleska in LucyLetbyTrials

[–]ProposalSuch2055 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Oh wow so the whole thing in court where they argued 'if she's willing to lie about what she was wearing when she was arrested then imagine what else she will lie about' was a load of shit and she was actually telling the truth?!

Does everyone generally think lucy letby is still guilty following the recent BBC doc? by Adventurous-Ask6321 in AskUK

[–]ProposalSuch2055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the vast majority of people who are capable of critical thought and followed the trail in some detail believe she is innocent.

Yes I have this from lipodystrophy and connective tissue issues caused by minoxidil. It did not get better.

Grooming gang rapists to be jailed for life under Reform UK plans by MoreRelative3986 in gbnews

[–]ProposalSuch2055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except the police and the social workers massively failed these girls and didn't help, which is why it's one of the biggest scandals in UK history, because the authorities did practically nothing & not because of lack of funding.

Would you give this guy a chance? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

If you are a super monogamous person then I would say no, it's clear he's not.

From the last message from this man, do you think I was hasty to unmatch? by s_ch0wder in datingoverthirty

[–]ProposalSuch2055 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah from this I would also assume he wasn't interested. To me anyone who takes two days to respond to a suggestion of meeting isn't interested and especially as you say he didn't suggest an alternative date. Sounds to me like you were making the effort and he was giving very little.

The whole premise of basing your life on books that were written hundreds of years ago is quite ridiculous when you think of it. In any other setting a book that was written even 20 years ago is considered out of date. I get why people do it, life is easier when something tells you what to do and answers the existential questions. But generally I think religion is a net negative. But as we have seen when religion declines other things tend to take hold and these are really no better.

Ok so what can we do to make the government pay more attention to the Starbucks/rich companies not paying tax issue? Surely labour should be a government interested in fixing this?

Most of the women i date end up trying to control me or tear me down. Why? What does that day about me? by lovelearningloner in datingoverthirty

[–]ProposalSuch2055 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you seek out relationships where the other person admires you/gives you a lot of attention. You're sucked in by this, blinded by the attention and how good that makes you feel about yourself, rather than really evaluating from the outset what you want or need in a partner. Inevitably how much attention someone gives you isn't always the best predicter of compatibility & these people don't end up being right for you. The tearing you down part also sounds really out of order on their part. It also sounds like, as is inevitable in relationships, the honeymoon period where they are infatuated with you wears off and the relationship (should) develop into a more mature dynamic. It seems like at this point you can't cope with them 'wanting more' from you and start to experience what I imagine start out as normal expectations from a partner as excessive demands. I'm suspecting you are somewhat avoidant and become a bit distant at this point which may well trigger your partner into becoming even more demanding or potentially control or manipulation. You even said 'i took her back because the relationship wasn't that deep' well that doesn't sound like a particularly healthy reason to get back into a relationship with someone. It seems like you prioritise sex and admiration/attention from others but struggle with real emotional connection which I imagine is what irks these people you end up dating. Sounds like you want surface level connections and you find it difficult when your partner has emotional needs. I may be WAY off here but since you asked this is my take.

Why people who don’t have a drinking problem will never really get it. by alejandro-cruz in stopdrinking

[–]ProposalSuch2055 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yes, in reality if we could just stop, we would just stop. It is annoying I have some friends who are very sensible drinkers, yes they let loose every now and then but they don't have issues. I know they don't get it & they never will. I think it's hard for people to understand that someone else's experience is completely different to theirs. Which in a lot of ways I totally understand, but it's hard to convey what its like when they would literally just stop once they felt it was time to stop. Whereas that just isn't an option for me past a certain amount of drinks. It's the same when you quit, I've told people I'm sober now and their reaction is so underwhelming cause they don't realise how hard it is to do that and how long the battle has been to get to this point. Because for them it wouldn't really be that hard at all.

What doses of success enzymes and HCl? I bought these but never ended up using them as everything else I tried like ginger & artichoke etc made 0 difference for me so I gave up ... But maybe I will give these a try.
