I think these decisions are made just as much by people that aren’t in quite as dire of situations, but they often have the fortune of their parents being able to help bail them out. I think people keep looking at poor decision making as unique to those living in poverty, when poor decision making isn’t unique at all.

I’m saying these very wealthy women have gone to great lengths to portray common folk, and effectively look like an SNL parody for oscar bait. lol I don’t know why everyone keeps commenting that they’ve seen poor people before like it’s some unique sighting.

I mean just look at how they had to dress and do the makeup of Close and Adams, it looks cartoonish and silly because it looks like pure cos play of poor people. 

There’s Hillbilly Elegy, the memoir of Vance’s family, which (so far as I know, at least) is basically uncontested in terms of its accuracy. And then there’s Hillbilly Elegy, the socio-economic, political and cultural text that’s used to advance a very specific and very damaging political agenda. I don’t know to what…

Especially when money and effort is spent in improving said technology, such as when a studio is founded to make something like that work.

Making fun of Trump by making fun of gay people is not the way to do it, man.

“We just wanted to make fun of it because it makes it less scary.”

Yes, but you would think that they would choose one of the many other most common names in America and specifically avoid the one associated with repeated trauma. If I explained to my partner that I was stalked by a relative and they put their name in a hat, it wouldn't be some fun "kismet" situation. 

“And I find it fascinating that even people who don’t believe in ghosts gravitate toward stories about them.”

idk, aside from the floating ghost head it’s fairly mundane. A janky grave is about the most reasonable place to find a skeleton.

Also, it’s the internet and people will lie for absolutely any or no reason. Things that are common and for which there is a ton of evidence:
1. People lying and/or embellishing on the internet (or in person)
2. Hallucinations
3. Realistic dreams that get confused for reality (I had a dream I thought was real for over a…

Those people don’t get how the contest works; staff members specifically asked for titles to make referring to each story easier. I do agree with their complaints about overly detailed house layout descriptions though, they’re confusing to read.

I also like all the stories. They’re fun! My main issue on the supernatural, though, is that now everyone has a camera at all times and we haven’t gotten better or more consistent evidence. 

Like I said, I don’t think you’re lying, and I don’t wanna argue with you about whether or not it happened (I wasn’t there), but human memory and perception are incredibly fallible.

I’m assuming it’s probably a pain to actually get all the rights for a publisher to okay it that long after the fact.

It really feels like people flexing their not very strong storytelling muscles these days. I liked the one about the potential ghost boy under the table, and the weird night terrors with the grey headless figure. Those seem like they could be real. Maybe the one about being followed by a car, too. 

Ehh, I disagree. There’s a difference between someone being mistaken about something mundane being paranormal or family lore getting exaggerated over time (which I think basically every paranormal experience is one of these two things - as much as I want there to be real ghost stories there’s no compelling evidence…

I’ll probably pick it up since I liked her last one alot.

I’ve got a scary story. About 4 times I’ve come back to this tab that I have kept open the whole time and the most dreaded thing has happened. The page has been reloaded and sent me back to the top.

If one of the requirements is that the story is true - why did you post the OBVIOUSLY fake masturbatory thrift store story from last year as an example?
