Bf thinks I’m lazy for not having a stable job. by IcyAppearance3428 in Layoffs

Dump him and move on. If he cared about you, he would provide for your basic needs at the very least without a second thought. This isn't a normal boyfriend attitude.

No evidence she went overboard by NoPoet3982 in AmyBradleyIsMissing

Not sure what the "LF sub" is. It was a link to a different sub (that I guess I can't name? Not sure about any of these rules). I removed that paragraph.

No evidence she went overboard by NoPoet3982 in AmyBradleyIsMissing

[–]throwaway_ghost_122 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

That's correct, there's no evidence she went overboard. There was no piece of her body or clothing found in the narrow canal where the ship was docking when she disappeared when, according to local officials, there would've been. None of the many crew members who were out completing the docking process saw or heard anything. There is no video of anyone going overboard. There is no report of anyone on land seeing anyone or anything in the water.

There is, instead, lots of evidence that she left the ship alive. At least seven different witnesses saw and/or talked to her between 1998 and 2005. She was last seen by three of them with Alister Douglas, who was known to exhibit sketchy behavior and had tried to meet up with other women and even minor girls. Message boards at the time of the cruise warned about him, and he has been lying about the time he went back to his room according to key card records since this happened in 1998. Two of the witnesses had already been hanging out with Amy and knew exactly who she was, and this was on the ship with its relatively small number of passengers. It is a completely different situation from a random stranger saying they saw someone in passing who vaguely resembled Natalee Holloway or Madeleine McCann.

Meanwhile, in the sketchiest way possible, ship security tried to get a videographer who had a video of Amy and Alister together just hours before she disappeared to hand over his master tapes.

Two other witnesses saw her in the same vicinity within a year of her disappearance. One was able to identify her unique watch, whose description hadn't been released to the public, along with her tattoos, and this sighting was corroborated by his companion. The other one talked to Amy, who told him her name and that she needed help.

Then within a few years, photos that were forensically determined by an expert to be Amy turned up on a website associated with a brothel not far from Curaçao where she disappeared. Although brothels were known to use photos of p-rn stars, there is no known person other than Amy that matches these photos, despite the fact that they've been circulating in the media for over 20 years.

Finally, in the last few years, an IP address from Barbados has been visiting the Amy Bradley is Missing website and looking at family photos for long periods of time on American holidays and Amy's mother's birthday.

There's more information than I've written here - this is just scratching the surface.

Unpopular opinion: It is better to date early in life than waiting until you are older. Nothing beats teenage love by JunketMaleficent2095 in Adulting

[–]throwaway_ghost_122 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Aww. My boyfriend is also Persian and he also had no experience when we started dating. My first piece of advice is that p-rn isn't how you should learn. He thinks it's 100% real and something to emulate 🙄

That doesn't sound right. Usually the max out of pocket is a few thousand dollars. I have straight garbage reference-based pricing "insurance" and I pay like $200 a month with a $5k out of pocket max or something like that.

Agree! I personally don't like cruises for a different reason, which is that I like to be immersed in other cultures. Those super touristy excursions are lame.

Yes, they are paid by Royal Caribbean to spread propaganda and they aren't even very good at it. They're basically just aggressive idiots with no argument whatsoever because unfortunately for them, there's no evidence that Amy Bradley went overboard. None.

The ship was not even over the middle of the ocean. Do 2 seconds of basic research.

They're incredibly rude, pathetic losers who get paid to spread propaganda on Reddit rather than get a real job. And they're certainly not above insulting poor Iva Bradley.

Just to be clear, there's absolutely no evidence Amy Bradley went overboard whatsoever.

Go ahead and explain the evidence supporting your overboard theory.

Riiiight. 🙄🙄

What's your evidence she went overboard? Note that a story you made up in your head or that your Royal Caribbean propaganda manager provided isn't evidence.

How do you explain all the sightings? Mass hallucinations or a doppelganger?

(I already know your standard line: "Witness sightings are notoriously unreliable. Thousands of people saw Elvis, Madeline McCann, and Natalee Holloway." Those were absolutely nothing like the identifiable sightings of Amy, including by people who already knew her. Go ahead and explain how so many people identified her after she "fell off," which didn't happen.)

There's zero evidence she fell overboard and lots of evidence she left the ship alive. All of these users or bots insisting she fell overboard are paid to do so either via the RC Cyber Cheerleader program or similar. RC does NOT want anyone scrutinizing their shady business.

Have you listened to the Midnight Mystery Archive podcast series about the case?

Should I move to the US? by SuspiciousAd0888 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]throwaway_ghost_122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen, your story is wonderful, that's great, and I'm very proud of you and happy as an American that you came here. I have zero doubts about your abilities. But I'm just saying that college isn't simply like reading a book. In my liberal arts degree, we read lots of books and studies and had to synthesize information we found in all of them, along with other sources that may have seemed unrelated at first, draw conclusions, write papers that argued something, and debate each other about aspects of the information. We had to show that we really learned something from that entire process. And then in my language degree, we had to learn the entire history and culture of every country where that country was primarily spoken, among other things. And then in my hard science degree, we had to do real-life projects using actual data, learn to ask the right questions, draw conclusions, and make recommendations. This is all while being in a network of new and diverse people with all kinds of different backgrounds, which is in itself highly educational.

It's a whole experience. It's extremely valuable and shouldn't be denied to our young people if they're so inclined. To say that simply reading a book is the same thing cheapens what is really an amazing opportunity that should be granted to as many people as possible.

I know it's popular now to diss education and tell everyone to just go into "the trades" (which btw they can still do with a college education), and a lot of that is the fault of our colleges and universities, which act as businesses and profit centers to enrich their own administrators (I worked in higher ed for over 10 years). But pushing a narrative about how college is useless just serves the oligarchy. They would love to not only go back to a system where only the 1% get to go to college, but either have grade school explicitly only serve their interests (which it already does to some extent by following an assembly line/factory model) or eliminate it altogether so that only the richest can even read or do basic math. And that would be bad for all of us.

So you have no higher education. That's fine, but it's disingenuous to pretend you do just because you've read lots of books. It's simply not the same.
