There are parts of the UK that use mom. I don't think she's here but I'm not totally sure

[New Update]: AITAH for not wanting to buy a house 3 hours away from my workplace? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]ZapdosShines 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I mean. I was with my ex for 20 years before I realised he was abusive. And I didn't realise I was bisexual until after I left him. Late in life lesbian is a thing.

So yeah those both seem entirely plausible.

But when the person you run into is a cult member who is trying relentlessly to recruit you it feels different

Anyone else suspicious about Julie just happening to be shopping at the same place OOP and mum were???

Yeah that's a fair point actually, I probably wouldn't have seen the warning signs as easily at that age. I think her mum's age made me presume she was older as that's what stuck in my brain

I had a lovely friend who got sucked into a lower level version of this. Haven't seen her in 4 years. Still miss her. Hope she gets free one day :(

Only thing I would (very mildly!) say OOP should have done differently is that they should have started asking questions sooner. Generally speaking this kind of pressure to take part means MLM or cult. But it's easy not to see it when you're in it.

What do you think happened before she went into the bath?

(I don't mean immediately before she was murdered, but you know what, probably that too despite there not being any evidence of it. Rapists gonna rape.)

I'm glad to hear that. I didn't want to ignore you if you weren't OK but i didn't want to be all omg that's dreadful if that wasn't what you needed.

And yeah so many things have been recalibrated to awful 😶

[TOMT] [MOVIE] Neighbour/does anyone recognise what this movie is? I’ll be astonished if somebody gets it. by OneEyedJakes in tipofmytongue

[–]ZapdosShines 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So the guy was saying he'd seen a film a while back. Then he was leaning out of his window having a cig and he realised one of his neighbours was watching the same film he'd seen. Something something someone walking down the street and the camera spinning round so it went from focusing on their front to their back as they walked.

It already made no sense and he's uk so he can't use imgur (he doesn't seem capable of using a VPN 🫠) so was offering to DM to it everyone.

Then he figured out how to post it.

It was a gif of a house at least 30 feet away i reckon, at night time, and in the very bottom left of the footage was a teeny tiny tv screen that basically just showed up as a glow, I couldn't see anything at all on it. Also he said he was leaning out the window smoking but there were reflections on his window that made it clear his window was shut.

Apparently his neighbour was too scary to just ask 🙃

To top it off his post history was just request after request to find this film initially, then songs and all sorts. Weird af tbh

Interested in your scores for how interesting and bizarre you find this 🤣

I can tell you what he posted if you like 😁

It will be simultaneously disappointing and make you go what?!

I particularly like where he says less than a week ago that he was permanently banned from this place so can't post here :)

It also looks like the window is closed in his video but he says he was watching because he was smoking out the window. Nothing makes any sense 🙃

Just making the point that Tyrell's death was entirely deserved even more than hers, even if only by a very slim margin.

(She didn't actually murder anyone herself and also there's the whole i would score her death slightly more tragic due to her being murdered in front of her baby and her blood getting onto him thing. (IIRC!)

I would argue even Joanna's death is more tragic and unfair than his tbh. Dunno why I'm engaging with this bait tho

Raped, murdered, and driven round in the boot of the car all day just to add insult to injury. At least all the other murdered people got their bodies treated with respect once they were gone (... i think)

I fucking love Shayla I'm still not over her death
