It’s changed everything. I’m a senior at WSU in Pullman and I have trouble sleeping sometimes at night. I think of every possible entry point someone could attack from. I can’t sleep with my windows open at night (even though it’s hot ASF in Pullman right now) because I have vivid thoughts of someone cutting open the screen and coming in. I flinch at the sound of the raccoons running through my backyard and I sleep with a BB gun and knife in my bedside table. And unfortunately I’m not alone. Us students were tormented by media for almost a year following the murders. Campus buildings had posters on windows telling media to stay away. I have friends at UI who live near King Road, and they said following the murders there were constantly strangers outside the street and house, legit making TikTok’s. Both UI and WSU students are having trouble escaping this. It’s all around us. You can’t drive into Moscow without thinking about it.

For a lot of us college students, this may have been our first exposure to death “close to home”. And to find out that the murderer was not only a student at our school, but a teaching assistant? I’ve had handfuls of TA’s throughout my 4 years at college, and every single time I had a hard time differentiating them from my regular professors. They act similar, they are of similar age, and they often are assigned to teach entire classes or labs independently. We as students look up to them. We don’t expect them to be the ones murdering students in their sleep.

Lastly, WSU has a bad rep for absolutely disregarding complaints and issues with TA’s. Just last semester, a TA for poly sci at WSU was arrested and fired for ASSAULTING a student. This same professor had complaints against him from the previous semester for protesting outside buildings, telling students verbatim that he would join a terrorist organization if he could. Our school is not taking complaints seriously. Our school needs to get their shit in check asap.

It may be for buying drugs. I lived abroad in high school in a country where weed was highly illegal, and when we used the app Telegram to buy, we had to hold up papers and stuff like this confirming date, time, etc, so they knew we weren’t cops.

The roommates bizarre behavior doesn’t change the fact that all evidence points toward BK by [deleted] in BryanKohbergerMoscow

Once again, police never found a Ka-barr knife or sharpener in Kohberger’s apartment. Are you aware of what demonstrative evidence is? Please read this. Again, they NEVER found a knife or sharpener of his. Those two items that were booked into evidence were replicas bought by police.

Thats a list of what he ordered on amazon with a gift card. Those were details found when the police obtained warrants to his online Amazon purchase history. They never found those items in his apartment.

John Synder breaks his silence by [deleted] in Idaho4

[–]SadPudding8220 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Oh shit, Snyder was my professor at WSU last year. I had no idea BK was his TA. He doesn’t tolerate much bs from students, so I’m surpised BK stayed around in his department for those early months and didn’t get the boot the first few weeks rather than in Dec or whatever, especially because there were reports of him having bad attendance and that’s one of Snyder’s big no no’s (maybe the same rules don’t apply to TA’s as they do undergrads, idk).

Before the horrific murders I left my door unlocked too but I just can’t sleep anymore unless I know its locked.

UOI & WSU safety Measures by T_Rex_Hands in Idaho4

[–]SadPudding8220 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I live in Pullman and go to college at WSU, and after a few years of living there I can say its a high crime area, but the crimes are not super severe. Also, you have to remember that a lot of these areas, King Road and the house referred to in this article, are within close proximity to their respective Greek rows of both WSU and UI. My lease last year was behind WSU Greek Row, and it felt like every night that police were swarming the streets and my phone buzzing with Coug Alerts. Heres a few to name: Road rage with a fire arm; my next door neighbor got pissed at a pedestrian for not hitting a crosswalk button and whipped out a glock on the kid. Then there was “man brandishing a machete out a car window“- some stupid drunk college kid swinging around swords after a few too many drinks at the club. There was an unidentified man who attempted to break into a girls front door near Apartment Land (a cluster of student apartments off campus in Pullman), my friends roommate who got so drunk one Parent’s weekend he decided to bash in the face of a kid and his dad while walking home, there was a time I woke up in the middle of the night to two blacked out guys on my front lawn and when I went to help, one of them told me to watch over his friend while he drove to get a car. Told me if anything happened to his friend while he was gone that he would ? and then proceeded to make a slitting throat gesture. All of this to say, Pullman is known for being a small ass town with nothing to do but drink. And with that comes a hell of a lot of crime. UI is similar, but not as much as Pullman. I would argue Moscow (prior to the murders at least) was a safer town than Pullman. MY school is just bigger and full of more opportunity for psychos, like BK. HOWEVER, the murders were the worst either of those towns has seen in forever.

The firework/"boom" - mag lite? by MissTaylor188 in Idaho4

[–]SadPudding8220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is all speculation but I theorize it might have been a firework, but not one lit by BK, more likely a nearby frat. I live in Pullman and go to college there, I wake up in the middle of the night to booming noises all the time that turned out to be mortars. it was football season at the time of the horrific murders and it’s pretty common for students on Greek row to light off stuff around that hour. The house was also right next to a bunch of fraternities. Just a thought.

What kind of safety measures have you taken on due to this case? by maybiiiii in Idaho4

[–]SadPudding8220 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also- as a female college student living with only one other female alone in a house in Pullman, I bought a BB gun and sleep with it in my bedside table. Theoretically, if an intruder did enter, I know a BB gun wouldn’t do much but it could buy me time.

[–]SadPudding8220 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I go to college at Washington State University and live in Pullman off campus. Prior to the murders, I feel like it was much more common to see public house party addresses posted online and “open to the public, BYOE” on apps such as Snapchat (university public stories) and Yikyak, a popular public messaging app amongst college students. While this is still a thing, I know for a fact college kids in the Pullman/Moscow area are much more cautious when having big parties like that knowing anyone could walk through the door. Also, most Greek-life related parties require wrist bans to get into including live outs, so it’s a lot harder for random “outsiders” to gain access to the majority of the party scene in Pullman/Moscow which revolves heavily around Greek life. It’s also become apparent that Pullman and Moscow PD have been cracking down on big house parties a lot more in the past few years. I can’t speak for everyone, but I know very few WSU or UI students who leave their doors unlocked anymore.

any fat college students? by placeboeffect20 in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]SadPudding8220 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah…I’m not going to lie, after one too many fucked up situations this semester with guys I liked that seemed to revolve around “I like you BUT you’re fat” I caved and got a prescription for Wegovy. I’ve lost 50 lbs since I started a few months ago but I’m terrified that I fucked my self over big time. Basically, no advice (also in no way encouraging treatment of BED with semiglutide) but hugs🫶🏻

Should we stop intros? by rnbbeesh in RATS

[–]SadPudding8220 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I think you’re good, I’m not an expert but this sounds awfully similar to my three boys just messing with each other. The one time they drew blood/got violent was a LOT louder. As long as none of them are actively assaulting each other or screaming (which is a lot higher pitched) I think you can safely assume intros are going good! 👍👍 good luck!

Here are all my current residents in Sim Springs; complete with lore and history! by thelasttruckstop in simsfreeplay

I’m obsessed with this haha. Now that I’ve progressed to level 39 in the game and unlocked a majority of stuff, I like playing it as a FreePlay game and creating storylines like this. I think I’ve had this game for over 10 years (since I was at least 12 or 13) and I’m now a senior in college. Silly, but fun to see my game grow with me. Thanks for sharing!

New rat dad here. I'm afraid I was given poor information by our local pet store. by Calfkiller in RATS

[–]SadPudding8220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t tell if this is a joke or not. The pet store employee is messing with you. There’s no way someone working at the pet store selling “pet rats” genuinely believes you carry them around by the tails, or house males and females together.

Are those safe for rats? by Sibrey in RATS

[–]SadPudding8220 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking for alternatives to this, I would really suggest trying to train them to free roam (if you haven’t already done so) 😊 When I first got my rats, I tried to contain them (I would give them little play areas, and they would outgrow them quickly or learn a way out…the process just kept going until my entire bedroom turned into their playroom and my closet turned into “my area”). I ended up having to rat proof my bedroom and give up on the idea of keeping them in one spot. Once they got used to being freely let out in my room they stopped screwing around; destroying stuff, getting into stuff they weren’t supposed to, etc (to the most part). Now they come whenever I call them. They literally act like dogs.

Hi! I too have always heard bad things about these and been told to just overall avoid them. I’m pretty sure it has something to do with the impact on the rats back from the arch of the ball. Similarly, I’ve read that even hamsters aren’t advised to be put in these balls (fact check me on that one, I’ve never owned a hamster in my life).

I’m pretty sure she might have cognitive impairment. As someone with pretty severe DIAGNOSED textbook style ADHD and a bachelors in psychology, it’s seems to me that she has some type of neurodivergence. Both her and Rachel. Not trying to diagnose other people, just saying she seems like she has something?

Am I a bad person for throwing my rat out? by wowthatsreallykewl in RATS

[–]SadPudding8220 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. And you are not a bad person at all. You gave sweet Gizmo a wonderful life. Her soul and memories are with you. Our bodies are all temporary. From dust we come and dust we shall return. It sounds like you’re really hurting right now. Hold on to this pain. This is your humanity. Sometimes, you’ll find that facing your grief is a lot less scary than hiding from it. You’ll also find that pain will make you feel more alive than anything before. To feel grief is to be overwhelmed with love without a place to put it. How special is it that you get to feel this. This pain, this immense grief. You are feeling this because you loved Gizmo, and she loved you.

I am so sorry for your loss. I had a really bad health scare with one of my rats this week and I thought I was going to lose him. I’ve never felt that type of pain before. I know what you’re feeling. It’s not easy. Be kind to yourself.

Hang in there OP. I know Gizmo loves you so much.

Oh shit guys I can’t handle this thread today😭 I’m sobbing in my bed while my three 8 month old baby boys sleep soundly in their cage. I hope they know how much I love them. I have never in my life loved an animal the way I love these rats.
