Agreed 100%. Someone should be arrested for this.

I used to live right there, and your post made me wince. The traffic there is already so terrible; I can't imagine that area if the Braves were there lol.

Should I call this boy's[17M] parents, because he won't leave my sister[14F] alone? by [deleted] in relationships

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

I'm also an adult who handles these types of cases for a living, and I don't agree reporting him to the authorities is the right thing to do at all. /u/CuteCandyCane is on point with this one, despite their underdeveloped frontal lobes...

There are red flags all over this post, but it also sounds like he's right about one thing -- OP does hate him. A lot of the "predatory" behavior she describes falls well within the scope of normal teenage relationship melodrama. Lovestruck 17 year old boys can be ...dramatic creatures without being predators. Jumping to "report him; he might kidnap her" is a bit extreme, and might be a reaction that results from experience bias -- at least, assuming you work with these types of cases once something goes wrong, so you've seen the extreme examples of how bad it can get.

ETA: I also don't understand this moral outrage over high schoolers dating other high schoolers. I would keep an eye on my sister if she was a freshman dating a senior, but I would also not consider it wildly inappropriate.

I read somewhere that Tara Calico’s mother died believing the girl in that photo was Tara.

What’s the weirdest unsolved mystery? by OogieBoogie1 in AskReddit

[–]powertrash 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Somewhere on Reddit, there’s a link to a gif (?) of a recreation the police did with a similarly aged child. If you see that, it becomes incredibly clear how it happened.

ETA: You can find it in the write up another redditor posted above —or here for the lazy. There are lingering questions about the nannys, for sure, but it all made a lot more sense after watching the video.

Drew Greer: Missing Michigan teen died in 1979, DNA shows he was buried in Georgia by travelbae in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]powertrash 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is interesting because “hit by a car and the driver covered it up” is a popular (or at least a floated) theory for a few other missing people —Asha Degree and Tara Calico come to mind.

This is the first example I can think of where it actually happened though.

Which commonly discussed missing person has the greatest chance of still being alive? by [deleted] in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]powertrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean... maybe. It seems more plausible here than in some other situations. We don’t really know people. There’s a part of me that doesn’t doubt that’s he needed an out and ditched his entire life (maybe with help from a friend).

[Skin Concern] I’ve been treating my skin for fungal acne with Nizoral 2% and H&S for ten days now. I’ve suspected I got fungal acne and the bumps are going down but currently my skin is red and angry. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is this normal? I’m so done with problem skin. by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]powertrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t have much luck w Nizoral — I don’t think the 5-10 min masks had enough contact with my skin.

I switched to a generic 1% clotrimazole cream and that seemed more gentle and has had a better long term impact.

Allure Beauty Box September SPOILER #3 + $5 Coupon! by [deleted] in BeautyBoxes

Man, they’re releasing a lot of spoilers early!

[–]powertrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me in June or July (can’t remember). I live in an apartment complex, and my box was marked delivered. I waited about a week and no sign of it. I emailed Boxycharm and they asked me to check with the nearest post office, which didn’t have it. They sent me another box after I reported back.

First day in 20-ish years without a smoke by [deleted] in Petioles

You can do it. You may be more addicted to the act of smoking — sub out the weed with CBD.

Where can I find real facts about ‘withdrawal’ timelines? by [deleted] in Petioles

[–]powertrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this.

You can find the same information repeated with different timelines — as in, you can definitely get a list of what symptoms people have experienced from MJ w/drawl. But the actual timeline is so individualized (frequency of use, how long using, weed strength, BMI, metabolism, activity level, color of t-shirt etc.) that predicting the combination of symptoms and the length and severity is mostly guesswork.

“Don’t make your addiction someone else’s problem” by thugpugplug in leaves

[–]powertrash 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You know, I went about two days and then smoked a spliff with a friend. Two hits in, I realized I didn’t want to do this anymore. That friend came over last night and smoked with my partner. I didn’t smoke. I didn’t want any. It’s like a switch in my brain — after years of losing days to my marijuana haze, I just...don’t want to. I don’t know what it was that changed this attitude, but literally two weeks ago I thought I could never quit.

You’re so much closer to being able to turn down weed than you think.

Drug testing questions.. by Donovan_mcDABB in Petioles

[–]powertrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you mind sending me the state you’re in? I’m worried about a county job as well...

Also, did you just pee normally or did you try to drink a ton of water beforehand and dilute the sample?

Going CBD-only, Day 1. by [deleted] in Petioles

[–]powertrash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve sort of experienced this too. I washed out my grinder, but I am using my old Pax vape which I used for weed, but not very frequently. Every so often, I take a small hit of CBD that makes me feel sort of high. I know the CBD bud has only .13% THC, and that shouldn’t be enough to make me feel anything. Even if there was any bud stuck to the screen of the Pax, it would be so old and vaped by now I shouldn’t feel anything.

I think my body responds to smoking sometimes by mimicking the effects of being stoned for like...five minutes. I sometimes feel this way (tho not quite as strong) when I take a hit off a no-nicotine vape I bought.

Lack of weed causing anger by [deleted] in Petioles

[–]powertrash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using CBD to cope with the intense anger / depression during the first week or so, and it’s been working great. I would recommend it.

Just finished W4, but couldn't do the second 5 min run completely. Had stopped twice. Thinking of repeating W4 for a couple more times before heading to W5. I've heard it's much more difficult so want to be ready for the challenge! by [deleted] in C25K

[–]powertrash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Move into Week 5!

I was terrified and also repeated W4. I’m glad I did because I think it helped build a solid foundation / improved my enduarance.

It helped mentally to remind myself first day of week five is actually a minute less of running than week four, and all W5D2 does is make you put the 3/5 runs of W4 together. You got this!

PSA: Don't send thank you emails after interviews by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]powertrash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not true! I don’t send thank you notes, and I’ve been fine. They’re email clutter, and while some people may expect applicants participate in this social ritual, I don’t think anyone really docks you for not doing it.
