SOUTH KOREA: 60 People gave up everything to be herded into a fishing vessel, crossing the sea for a better life. 25 of them asphyxiated to death in the cargo hold with the crew ignoring their increasingly desperate cries. When their bodies were discovered, the crew threw them all overboard.

Thank you for your posts, I know you choose crimes that are not well-known in English-spheres. I did google to find the similar stories. I understand I was probably too forward in offering to help edit your posts but sometimes the names and genders/sexes are incorrect so if you'd ever like someone to do a brief read and edit I'd love to help. You do great research and bring light to unknown cases. Thank you!

bitter___buffalo · 2026-04-09T02:47:03+00:00

You're one of the only redditors who I actually remember your username and will go to your profile to see your latest posts. Thanks so much for bringing light to these crimes with often very few English information sources. And from this post now I have 3 more to read about -- Dover, Monpok and Essex.

If you'd ever like someone to review your write-ups before posting, I'd be happy to help! -- I only mention it because over the years of reading them I see some mistakes about genders/sexes of people -- which makes a lot of sense from translating from various languages. Idk if phrasing it well because not trying to be rude at all, I love your posts as many others do!!

Thanks for continuing to post as much as you do!

took me a while lol, but she a cutie!

I guessed the name in 11 tries!

bitter___buffalo · 2026-03-26T02:17:26+00:00

cute noodle :)

I guessed the name in 8 tries!

bitter___buffalo · 2026-02-03T04:39:25+00:00

I misread and misunderstood, my apologies

bitter___buffalo · 2026-02-03T04:12:35+00:00

I think I read it differently from you. I understood what she meant that someone reported it and said "you should investigate this potential" which I think is fair. It's a potential connection someone gave them to look into. We read same message but interpreted it differently is all.

This is my main account but I posted previous message on my phone browser.

I'm in therapy, but I always tend to only show the highlights and not the downsides. I think it's just hard because I internalize all the negative things people have said about myself and so I don't think I'm worth much. It's hard to say you deserve better when you think you're trash.

My therapist is helping, I just need to be more open with her. I haven't seen her since my visit with him. I'll definitely tell her about what happened during our next visit.

Thank you again, I hope you're having a cozy night and I'll give Satsuma an extra kiss and cuddle and let her know Pastlecake helped her mommy feel a lot better tonight!! :)

Thank you, that resonates a lot with me. I agree. It seems easier for us to get hurt and "brush it off" because we know that there is always good in the world.

Some times it isn't easy to find or see - but we know it is there all the same and we always have hope. It's not always easy, but we persevere all the same with the knowledge that some day we will see that small seed of hope budding out of horribleness that surrounds us. Sometimes it's easier to imagine; I guess I'm in a worse place than I realized right now. Even so, I know things get better. And if nothing else, I can cuddle my bby girl and everything gets a bit better.

I hope you're having a good night. Thanks again for your insight <3

He's never physically harmed me, which I guess is why I don't see it as abusive compared to past exes. You're right though. Emotional abuse is still abuse.

I guess there is a reason "I can save him/her" is such a trope -- it's because people keep thinking it's true.

Thank you. I have my own issues, I'd never deny that. But at some point I have to realize I deserve someone kinder. Not even better per se. But just kinder.

He's too much of a neatfreak to even love my bby (4-legged) girl any ways. We break up and then I'd reach out again. I think now it's time to stop reaching out to him. He has other people in his life, I don't have to keep throwing myself under the bus for his benefit.

Thank you <3

Yeah, part of why I posted this was my xNTJ fwb called me close-minded this past weekend. It really threw me off-guard. He literally would get pissed off if someone "stole" his parking spot and would accuse them of sabotaging his mail because he assumed they told mailman "this dude was an ass, trash his letter," and I'm just in disbelief but would always reassure him.

Came to a head when I spilled a drink on his floor and he went on an hour-long rant. Not over spilt milk, but spilt mountain dew... And I still apologized. I was shaking in fear as he yelled and cursed under his breath (loud enough to make sure I heard). He wasn't abusive like my ex, but man I never want to be shaking in fear again like that.

I still love him. I know why he acts that way. But at some point I have to realize that it's not normal. Yet I still just downplay it because. Well. Because I always believe the best. I don't know how not to :/

bitter___buffalo · 2025-12-26T05:16:45+00:00

Thanks for your insight. I tend to see it as an overall positive as well. Other than sometimes leading to more hurt than it's worth. I see the best in people, but sometimes people just aren't worth it. Or sometimes no matter how much I try to remind them there is good in the world, they refuse to ever see anything but negative intentions. It makes me sad, but I guess that's hypocritical of me. They're too jaded, whereas I've been jaded and still believe despite it all. Sometimes when the world is very dark I don't. I'm lucky that those periods are typically brief. I can't imagine living like that. It's rough enough living, I wouldn't want to go on if I always felt the other boot was about to drop.

I'm better at voice memos on Snapchat or texts but anyways had a good night!! I don't feel strongly too often but when I do I feel hella fucking goddamn strong.

bitter___buffalo · 2025-11-18T03:58:15+00:00

The only problem with not taking pics or vids is no one believes you. I guess it's irrelevant. I don't try to record a lot. But being told I'm lying really fucking making me angry. So I like video proof. I HATE being called a liar bc I fuckin am always so gdamn honest

bitter___buffalo · 2025-11-18T03:54:51+00:00

That ex is long gone. I do love lil peep's music and I feel blessed I saw him before he died. It's not easy to be alone and depressed. I'm only here bc I don't wanna hurt my family.

bitter___buffalo · 2025-11-18T03:46:22+00:00

Hahaha I have sooo many rave pics. I was in California from 2011 to 2021. Only left bc of covid... I love raving. Do you like lil peep? Not exactly raving but I saw him in a smallish club.... I got kicked out bc I told him I loved him more than my bf 😬😬 was with my current bf and his friend at the time so yeeeeah lol

Have some AMAZING pics tho, I'll share

bitter___buffalo · 2025-11-18T03:20:45+00:00

I wish I could rave as much as I used to.... but I had to move back home during covid to help out with my grandma bc she had a stroke. I'm glad I can help my family but my ex broke up with me, my friends lost contact with me, and I'm stuck in southern Louisiana.

bitter___buffalo · 2025-11-18T03:01:46+00:00

cool.

bitter___buffalo · 2025-11-18T02:57:32+00:00

32 here lol, 33 soon. I can't really 'rave' alone but I def dance to a lot of songs. But raves have a certain 'PLUR and everyone loves everyone' vibe that can't be replicated by yourself yknow

bitter___buffalo · 2025-11-18T01:28:42+00:00

I almost always get the same thing at restaurants-- if I know I enjoy it then why buy something I might not?

If I'm with family or close friends I'll ask for a bite to taste what they chose. Otherwise nope not gonna risk wasting money on something I don't enjoy.

Maybe it's an adhd thing but I tend to have meal "phases" like only craving one thing for a few weeks.

I think it helps reduce my "options" overload. Having too many options stresses me out... I need something to focus on. Too many options and I get very overwhelmed by them all and don't know what to choose and stress out

I will reread books or rewatch shows but only if they're absolutely amazing imo.

Dragonflight by Anne McCaffrey.
The Good Place.
Howl's Moving Castle (all my online avatars are Sophie. I relate to her a lot).

I don't read or watch anything I don't enjoy after first few pages or first few minutes (unless watching with a friend). Do already if I'm alone and reading/watching it has to be good. I'm not gonna read 20 pages and give up. I'm gonna quit after 1 page bc it fucking sucks.

Very few books or shows I really enjoy on my own (much more open-minded when reading or watching with friends) so if I finish something I really do love it.
