malleusmalefic posted:Solid post. Thank you for posting it. Him getting rid of all his ID ahead of time so he wouldn't be traced back to his family makes a little more sense to me than him escaping/being placed somewhere because of something spy related where they took all his IDs but left him with cigs and mysterious code fragments

theflyingorc posted:He fell in facefirst trying to get some shoes stored inside and became unconscious. It has always been the same narrative, but he "looked beat up" so there were a bunch of weird conspiracy theories. honestly falling into a rolled up gym mat that for some reason had his shoes in it and getting "lodged" is such a bizarre and unlikely series of events that I would've been questioning the hell out of it regardless of the rest of the story

Basebf555 posted:Yea I always thought it was strange that the cannibal guy from Japan has been able to live such a public life without any real problems that I know of. I mean I know Dexter isn't real but I'd think the guy would have to fear for his safety, or at least become a recluse and withdraw from the public. What about the family of the girl he murdered? Do they get like half his income or something? I watched a really interesting documentary on him including interviews and he's not really a celebrity so much as a morbid curiosity. He gets drug out for weird interviews and stuff like that every full moon but he's almost destitute because no one will hire him for anything and he basically lives completely isolated and depressed. I think it ended with him talking about how much his life sucked and how he was either going to kill himself eventually or was just ready to die or something

JibbaJabberwocky posted:I want this to be real and not a troll. It's always more fun when it's something local that a goon has firsthand knowledge of. Unless it's something like what goes on in my town, in which case the mystery isn't so fun. There's whole mountain of uncaught serial rapists that have been active in my small city since the 70s, none of whom have been caught. Doesn't seem like our police force has put a lot of effort into catching any of these guys though, certainly there isn't a lot of information on any of the cases, even the most recent ones. Quit leaving everyone hanging you chutney ferret

Every doctor I've dealt with has been if anything TOO insistent on me having tons of tests done, I've never had one shrug off a problem I've had. I get bronchitis generally once a year like clockwork around winter and my doc always wants me to get my chest x-rayed for pneumonia even though I've done that twice in the past and it's always bronchitis. Why would you not take a patient seriously if it literally just means more money to you or at the very least a brief recommendation to a specialist or something? Doesn't seem like it'd be any skin off their balls

Dr. Gitmo Moneyson posted:Now that I look back on it, I don't think the animals they ate were alive (at least not all of them), but rather were just freshly killed. And as far as social conditioning is concerned, Charles Domery in particular appears to have expressed regret about killing and eating a cat, and indicated that he was empathetic to a significant degree toward their plight and suffering. Don't know how much that can be said for Tarrare, but at the very least, it seems like both men had some form of functioning moral conscience. Both those guys have been discussed in the this thread and previous versions of it and I think most people are of the idea that neither men probably existed, or at least not to the extent they're reported on. Especially considering the similarities between the two men and the fact that they were contemporaries, meaning they were probably just one set of stories or wives tales that spread around under different names at the time.

Spoeank posted:I actually have nightmares reliving my most horrifying sleep paralysis experience where I was asleep on my couch in college and a big massive gruesome creature lumbered closer and closer to the front door, threw it open and lunged at me. I woke up throwing myself off the couch. I used to get really fragmented sleep from booze and college shenanigans, so I had fairly frequent sleep paralysis from my garbage sleep. That's the only one I relive now, almost a decade later. I know in the past sleep paralysis became looked down on in this/previous threads but I still think they make for some of the creepiest stories and I love hearing people's accounts of them. Any details as to what the creature looked like and what exactly was happening in the dream?

I swore there was a news article several years ago about some guys cleaning a huge industrial microwave and accidentally triggering the starting mechanism and getting cooked alive but suspiciously I can't actually find it through google anymore.

ArchangeI posted:People creating elaborate identities around the foods they do/don't eat is honestly pretty unnerving. Why do they have such a desperate need to feel superior to someone just because they like/dislike broccoli? People do this with literally anything that has to do with existing or living. But yeah its hard to read anyone (especially on SA) telling other people the right way to eat food without rolling my eyes. I like a rare steak and a medium rare burger but I'd never talk down to someone like the way they consume nourishment is objectively worse than mine

ArchangeI posted:There is some evidence that he didn't want to go through with it and she convinced him to go back and finish it. Pretty sure that counts as having a hand in someone's death, and that is very much illegal. From the article it seems she is charged with manslaughter instead of murder, though. Not sure why. Seems pretty premeditated to me. Some evidence? Even in just the messages between the two of them he tries to back out of it (and does a few times) a bunch and she won't let him get away from it

Girl wasn't even "dating" him it seems like their relationship was almost exclusively text and phone based. She just wanted to be responsible for someone killing themselves and then reap the attention afterwards by pretending to have been close to him That said trying juveniles as adults is really loving stupid and negates the whole idea of juvenile court in the first place. You can't just decide to prosecute a child ad an adult because their case is deemed exceptional or had a lot of media attention or whatever

At first they probably just thought he got knocked out or had a concussion, which happens all the time, and wrestlers are usually able to at least improvise a quick finish to the match when it happens. The weirdest thing is how he still managed to fall in the exact proper set up for the 619 considering he was already dead

Imagined posted:The link about the campground murders posted earlier reminded me about this horror from my neck of the woods. The Oklahoma Girl Scout murders. It's basically the exact nightmare scenario that every parent worries about when sending their kids off to camp that totally never happens, except this time it did. In 1977 three girls, between ages 8 and 10, were abducted from their tent during a thunderstorm on the first night of summer camp in a fully occupied campground and raped and murdered in the woods without anything ever raising an alarm. No one was ever convicted of the crime. The campground was, as you'd expect, shuttered permanently pretty much immediately thereafter. Holy poo poo this is as close to a horror film as reality gets

There were definitely a few people in my highschool class that could've passed for 30s. I remember one dude who was huge and was balding that basically could've passed for a middle-aged teacher. Like you said, some people just age extremely different than others. I know plenty of people in their mid 20s-30s that could pass for high schoolers without too much suspicion
