And then do nothing when handed one of the biggest child sexual abuse cases ever.

Yeah, but now you can buy a PC and pay an xbox subscription. Isn't this exciting, everybody?

The families would be coming out of the woodwork.

Comes out perfectly fluffy every time. I love my Zojirushi. There's a reason they're a standard wedding present in Japan. Super high quality and buy-it-for-life.

Yeah, that Zojirushi has enough computers in it to adjust to most user mistakes. And anyone spending the money on one would know that.

Combined with the various bold statements and it paints quite a picture of just how controlling this person is.

I joined a large friend group that had been together for 7 or so years. There was a person that I noticed would tell different people slightly different versions of stories. Normally I'd dismiss these as white lies but I noticed a pattern. The person in question saw relationships as transactional and I highly suspected that these white lies revealed a much deeper penchant for emotional manipulation.

I tried to warn some people that I thought I could trust within the friend group, but this upset some people and I had the step way back. After all, who is the new person to come into this group and fuck things up? I kept my mouth shut and out of the drama as I had to watch this person build a giant rift within the group.

Thankfully a few people had finally remembered the warning I had given years before and started comparing notes on the stories this person had told everyone. In the end I was vindicated when people started confronting the lies, but a lot of people had to go through therapy for the years of suffering that person caused in the meantime. I'm not giving too many details, but it got bad: suicide attempts, cops, legal battles. I had to just sit there and watch it all.

It's simple: The OP Trojan horse a Legolas elves while Atreides Dune lol'd an ATM on the slow while the obvious was exaggerated. And it was upsetting impossible perspective.

Or I receive an already open item. I get those so much that that alone stops me from using amazon.

Good lord, how many armpits do you have!?

You can't consider that without also considering the alternative: Is going sober at a festival preferable to possibly taking too many edibles while in public?

It's absolutely plausible. I know a guy who posts just like this.
