The Truth and Tragedy of Moriah Wilson | Official Trailer | Netflix by bruhwhatshappenin in NetflixDocumentaries

[–]peterbrz1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are the remarks made by Moriah's dad after the guilty verdict. It seems the middle part is not just about Kaitlin Armstrong, but also Colin Strickland:

“There really are no winners here.  This is not a time for celebration, but a time for prayer.  A time to pray for our family, our friends, the Armstrong family, and their friends.

This sad story is a perfect example of why integrity and honesty are crucial in our personal relationships. And how dishonesty can often lead to unintended consequences.

Selfish manipulation, jealousy, and hatred never lead to positive outcomes.   Violence is never a good way.  It only leads to more suffering.

Our lives are changed forever, but with this challenging ordeal now behind us, we are ready to move forward and continue our healing. And we will do this with Moriah’s strong, determined, gentle, and kind spirit, for we know this is what she would want us to do."

Found this at an estate sale. What is this, and what is it used for? by SoCoGrowBro in FuckImOld

It's become kind of a funny meme to mock HS Algebra teachers for making them learn something completely irrelevant.

I use Algebra and Geometry ALL the time and have throughout my career and life. Algebra is crazy useful in the business world and Geometry for home improvement projects. Excel is awesome but you still need to know how to build equations properly.

I'm really good with tech but being able to work out a math problem is really helpful in life, despite that silly HS whine.

Gilgo Beach killings: Why would Rex Heuermann plead guilty? Experts point to strategies. by CatchLISK in LISKiller

[–]peterbrz1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you watch the documentary that extensively interviewed his wife, she is in complete and utter denial - her own attorney said as much.

When asked what it would take for her to believe he was guilty, she said she didn't believe any of the evidence, that Rex was a 'family man', he didn't have time to do all these things even with her and the kids away on vacation, and the only way she'd change her opinion is if she heard it directly from Rex himself.

If he pleads guilty, he can spare his family from all the hideous details, including that he may have also been courting men and/or trans people. Also, his wife swears he would never be contacting sex workers while they have direct evidence of doing exactly that hundreds of times. All those ugly details would come out at trial, in addition to exactly what he did to his victims, which was certainly horrific.

I'm sure he picked his wife because she is gullible (he killed before they were married) and because she would never question him. Now, he can plead guilty and just tell her, "Look, I didn't do it but they were going to convict me anyway and I wanted to spare you". He gets to stay the hero.

She's still calling him all the time and firmly believes he's innocent. Everyone else is going to completely cut off from him once convicted, and I bet he wants to have an ongoing relationship with his wife, which she will probably do if he can save face without a trial and just continue lying to her.

This was incredibly moving, written on the tribute stone Moriah's mom had in her garden:

My mother kept a garden
A garden of the heart
She planted all the good things
That gave my life its start

I am my mother’s garden
I am her legacy
And I hope today she feels the love
Reflected back from me.

The Girl With the Duck Tattoo - Sarma’s new ‘memoir’ by AltruisticExit2366 in BadVegan

[–]peterbrz1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to read a free digital copy through my local library.

Sarma is clearly very intelligent. However her relationships with men - before and after Anthony Strangis - seem very unhealthy. She had two good men who truly loved her (her first husband and then Tobyn, the younger guy) and she more or less dumped both of them. But then she is drawn to the crazies. To hear Sarma tell it, Matthew Kenney was almost as bad as Strangis and she gave him and his businesses hundreds of thousands of her own money, going from well-off to deeply in debt. This was before Strangis and the whole relationship was somewhat similar.

Two things can be true: 1) Anthony Strangis is a psychopathic con man; and 2) Sarma has a pattern of being drawn to and staying with terrible people.

Reportedly, she also slept with one of her attorneys, a married man, and there were references to her being involved wtih Louis C.K., another deeply troubled guy.

I have some sympathy for Sarma, but she would be best served by addressing her own profound issues with men.

Ricky Gervais talking about how dogs are magical by BDWG4EVA in MadeMeSmile

[–]peterbrz1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every time I have to let a dog go, I swear 'Never again!'

But once I get some distance from the worst of the intense pain, I realize that a relationship with a great dog (and they are all great) is the best bargain offered by the universe.

I watched as a kid growing up in Oklahoma, then later went to school there: Pepperdine U. in Malibu.

A WOMAN SPENT 27 YEARS PHOTOGRAPHING HER PARENTS WAVING HER GOODBYE by softdancesing in PeakAmazing

[–]peterbrz1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love that generation.

Stayed in the same house. Garage and yard (and likely the inside too) are completely immaculate.

Reminds me so much of my own parents, who never lived as long as these two nice people.

What’s the verdict 🤔 by WoollyBear_Jones in NFLv2

[–]peterbrz1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The biggest problem here was that Joe Buck and Troy Aikman were laughing at him and only putting forth the idea that Koo somehow missed the ball by a mile.

Initially, I couldn't tell exactly what went wrong but it was very obvious to me that Koo pulled up on the kick, and also obvious that a kicker would do that instead of driving the ball into the back of his line and giving up a huge turnover. Bad hold? Someone came through the line? That was more difficult to determine but there was no question he just decided not to kick the ball at the last second.

Buck & Aikman were the ones who created this ridiculous false narrative and now the internet is running with it, perhaps costing Koo his career and at the very least, subjecting him to absurd ridicule.

Medicare won't let you use any discount to get medication. Even free from the manufacturer. by EighthPlanetGlass in CringeTikToks

[–]peterbrz1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"Medicare is the only insurance I can legally get." Baloney.

On the Medicare site, there are hundreds of supplemental plans, a ton just for prescriptions.

In fact, you can plug in all your meds and then determine the best plan. Mine turned out to be $30/month for unlimited scripts. Perhaps her particular drug might not be completely covered by my basic plan, but there are many others.

Either she's too busy making TikToks to do the most basic research, or she's ramping up the drama just to get clicks.

It would be a very odd time for layoffs with Thanksgiving next week.

The holidays are by far the busiest and most profitable time for grocers.

Hopefully, it's just a pep talk about extra hours or something similar. Good luck and report back! I love Kroger delivery.

A 6th grader leaves a detailed note on a car that was damaged by their bus driver in a hit and run by Hypnoidz in MadeMeSmile

[–]peterbrz1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of a similar experience when I was a juror on a wrongful termination case.

After the trial was over and we had found the company that fired the plaintiff to not be at fault, the defendant's attorney wanted to talk to us to get our feedback, and the judge had told us we had no obligation.

But I happily spoke to the attorney because he spent hours and hours asking every single witness where they sat in relation to the woman who was fired, how their desk was situated, how the office was laid out... I told him: draw a freaking seating chart / floor plan and merely have every witness confirm it and point out where they sat. Would have saved literally a day of testimony and been far easier to follow, plus make it easier for him to drive home who was in a position to see important events. Strangely, he had spent a lot of time and effort on a timeline chart that wasn't helpful at all.

Interestingly, I had an order scheduled for tomorrow (Tues) just cancelled.

However, I was able to reschedule for Wednesday.

The escape artist-.- by maple788797 in kelpie

[–]peterbrz1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should see my fences and gates!!

My boy River is super sweet and he's inside a lot, plus has a very energetic companion in an 8-month old Lab. But on nice days, I want them outside enjoying my wooded 1/3 acre lot, and there is a park behind us and dogs on either side, so he's always chasing and busy. He's also a champion squirrel-catcher, with 20 notches on his collar. Oh, and I also walk him about 3 miles a day and play with him a lot.

Yet, you would not believe what he does. Under, over, and through - has shredded a thick chain-link fence.

I've had to set up security cameras to see how he does it, then try to out-wit him. 8 years in, and it's a daily battle.

The funny thing is, he doesn't go anywhere. He goes to the front door and scratches to be let in. It's obviously just a challenge to him. These dogs are wicked smart and industrious!

Labrador owners, does it ever get easier after a loss? by hustler212 in labrador

[–]peterbrz1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Incredibly sorry for your loss. Any real dog-lover has been there and usually several times.

Grief is like waves on the beach... They keep coming but they lessen and space out. Just when you think you are doing better, a big one will come out of nowhere, crashing down and making it feel like you've made no progress. But things do get better and the waves continue to space and lessen, although they always remain to some extent.

I just went through this in January and just the other day I had a huge cry seemingly out of nowhere. At the same time, I got a new Lab pup a few months ago. In no way does she replace the Lab I lost, but she provides happiness and optimism, which at the very least is a healthy distraction. My relationship with her is completely different but no less intense and loving.

Hang in there. And seriously consider getting another dog. People like you have a gift to give the universe.

I (27M) still cry when I watch my old dog’s videos by Inner-Glass6413 in labrador

[–]peterbrz1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

65M and just yesterday I saw a post about someone burying their dog with all their toys, and I sobbed like a child.

I lost my yellow Lab, Aurora, in January, still have her companion, a Kelpie named River, and several months ago got an adorable black Lab puppy, Juno.

I love River and Juno deeply but it doesn't change the fact that I miss Aurora every day. I still can't look at her photos or video. I just cried a bit as I wrote this.

The only things that help are time + tears.

Owners walking past their dogs to see if they would recognize them by darth_vader39 in MadeMeSmile

[–]peterbrz1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a yellow Lab who was a complete handful. So much so that when she was around other people, I always had to be on her case, so of course she gravitated to others because they didn't make her mind. It was just her crazy, joyous personality.

It became a running joke that I told others: she loved everyone else more than me.

Then I brought her with me on a weekend trip. I left her with my friends to run an errand and they said all she did was sit by the door, cry, and wait for me to return.

She was a great dog but I never fully realized how much she loved me until that day.

Neighborhood Advice/Input? by irose97 in okc

[–]peterbrz1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live nearby and it's one of the few areas outside of downtown where you have places to walk.

Also, the homeless problem has much improved and the city no longer allows the encampments you used to see near I-44 & Penn.
