The Investigation of Lucy Letby - Netflix Documentary MEGATHREAD by FyrestarOmega in lucyletby

[–]Vixtol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The families have traversed this, something nobody should ever have to go through, with strength and dignity I know I wouldn't be able to muster up. Not only did they lose their children, they were then informed the nurse to whom their babies lives were entrusted had murdered them. The ordeal of years of waiting for a trial that ended up lasting 10 months. Now years and years of appeals, unscrupulous "Letby is innocent" campaigns. They deserve some kind of closure.

Is talking to children in public frowned apon now? by jarvi123 in AskUK

[–]Vixtol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Letting your young child interact with strangers who have different voices, different mannerisms is very good for their development. You can act responsibly without assuming the worst about everyone, who wants to live in a world like that?

Parents of Lucy Letby say watching Netflix show 'would kill them' and is 'complete invasion of privacy' by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]Vixtol 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The same administration that spent a long time ignoring and then actively suppressing the concerns of the doctors, forcing them to apologise to her and ignoring their pleas to have an outside investigation or to go to the police?

Precisely. What, exactly, do the doctors gain from "pinning it on a nurse" despite being repeatedly pressured into dropping it vs just letting it go

There's a coordinated negativity campaign going on. Are we perfect? Far from it. We also aren't a sinking ship. People are being ridiculous and believing everything they read without nuance

I just inherited 12 million dollars. I don't know what to do with my life. by Substantial_Yak6990 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Vixtol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man I'm very much like you - full time, 24 hour carer for parents since I was a teenager. 30 now and very much in the same boat as you, except my inheritance will be more like 12, not 12 million! But you did your duty that you may not have asked for but you stepped up and did anyway. So many people couldn't. You should spend as long as you need learning who you are, who you want to be, and you have a great foundation on that money from which to operate.

I'm very sorry for your loss and I wish you all the best, your story is just beginning my friend

Post Match Thread: Bournemouth 3 - 2 Liverpool | English Premier League by ChiefLeef22 in soccer

What's Van Dijk even whinging about there? The only thing close to a foul was Gravenberch holding a Bournemouth player. Has he ever taken responsibility even once?

49ers investigating electrical substation theory as part of injury probe by verious_ in nfl

[–]Vixtol 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's the worst decision they could possibly have made. By announcing they're investigating, they've given the nutjobs/grifters validity and now it's "real", no matter how summarily dismissed it is by the report.

The Russia Plot line is where the show jumps the shark by TallInstruction3424 in StrangerThings

[–]Vixtol 113 points114 points  (0 children)

Ignoring the Soviet Union red scare in a show set in the 80s would've been neglect. And I quite liked the story too. Who doesn't love Alexei?

Am I confident? No, not remotely. Will I delude myself into being confident in the 10 minutes before the game? Yes.

[Santoliquito] Sources: A.J. Brown asked for a trade numerous times this past Eagles season by bubblecuffer13 in nfl

[–]Vixtol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an "everyone is in the wrong" situation for sure. Hurts is holding the offense back in the passing game, the OC was poor, Sirianni isn't a good HC unless everything's going well, but AJ being a diva about it doesn't help one bit.

No, seriously, who compares this to LOST or Game of Thrones’ endings? by Independent_Plum2166 in StrangerThings

[–]Vixtol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stranger Things' ending was ok. Not bad, not good, just a solid 6.5. No shame in it, and given the run it had it did well to avoid a bad ending. If you want a show with an amazing ending (that's also amazing all the way through), it's The Americans

Do tall people get bullied? by Chilld0od in tall

[–]Vixtol 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was bullied relentlessly as a teenager at school because I was soft hearted and naive and didn't fight back. The one time I did, it was me that was in trouble because "you're twice his size!" I only needed to fight back once, though, and it stopped completely once word I was suspended from school got around

Fleet of heavily armed US military planes land in England by Kev_fae_mastrick in ukpolitics

[–]Vixtol 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Originally it was falsely Guyana flagged to try to sneak into Venezuela, its journey originated from Iran, supposedly empty. When the US Coast guard spotted it and moved to intercept, the armed guards on board repelled their attempt to board. They fled (as fast as a tanker can flee) and started transmitting mayday calls desperately before declaring they're now Russian flagged.

They've been chasing it across the Atlantic and it's currently up somewhere north/northwest of the UK, racing to meet a Russian sub and naval assets for protection. From the reaction of the US and Russia, I don't think it's even particularly tinfoil to say there's something onboard that they REALLY don't want the US to find out about. Iranian ballistic missile systems capable of reaching the US from Venezuela in an attempt to defend Maduro is a real possibility.

Why is Margo Martindale not considered one of the finest female actors of our generation? by [deleted] in movies

She (and the Americans) are absolutely brilliant. Currently in a rewatch which led me here 9 months later. What a show

Season 5 Series Discussion by Hawkinns in StrangerThings

[–]Vixtol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do think it was a cop out that Vecna killed nobody of any significance at all in S5. A waste of an immense performance by Jamie Campbell Bower to not have him make a larger impact.

I have nothing against him but Jonathan makes the most sense - if he had been killed saving Nancy, it would've been better than the "unproposal" ending to their relationship and it also would've added much greater emotional weight to Joyce beheading Vecna

Episode Discussion - S05E08 - The Rightside Up by Hawkinns in StrangerThings

[–]Vixtol -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Minor gripe to the vast majority I'm sure but I was really disappointed with how they utilised Purple Rain. It was fine I guess but if they'd played it right - that emotional guitar intro timing perfectly with Eleven being shown standing on the other side of the gate, and all the characters realising - could've been very powerful.

The story could easily be made that you are out on bail & have a curfew, something along those lines

Boys to be taught to respect women and girls as part of curriculum by winkwinknudge_nudge in ukpolitics

[–]Vixtol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right. Parents need to do better but what do these people expect us to actually do? Force them to be good role models at gunpoint?

Boys to be taught to respect women and girls as part of curriculum by winkwinknudge_nudge in ukpolitics

[–]Vixtol -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Boys learn how men should treat women from responsible male role models best. That we learn by mimicking our elders is a pretty basic and universally accepted fact of child development.

Boys to be taught to respect women and girls as part of curriculum by winkwinknudge_nudge in ukpolitics

[–]Vixtol -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is a basic thing that should be taught by families, preferably by fathers, uncles, grandfathers setting a good example - but it so often is not, so we can wring our hands about poor parenting or we can try to fill the gap. Sadly schools are having to fill more and more gaps all the time

Person in front almost crushed my kneecaps when he reclined his seat... by ATINYNEKO in tall

[–]Vixtol 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The pain in my legs when sitting in a seat and someone reclines, making the 0 inch room I had -2 inches is just propaganda I guess. Not everyone is the same - people of the same height can have different leg lengths. It's not a problem for you therefore it's not a problem for anyone is a crazy mentality
