They luckily don’t post that often. They didn’t post for about a month and a half after he left so I thought he’d told them and they’d created a new group without me, but no such luck, apparently, as they posted again. ;-) It will be more as Christmas approaches, I think. The whole thing just feels weird. I’ll be on…

Yeah, that’s what I’ve been thinking, about leaving it up to him to tell them. He’s supposed to come by and pick up some things soon, I’ll ask him when he’s going to tell them and work from there. Thanks!

They live across the country from me luckily. The chat is the only point of contact. I’ve actually been low contact with them for several years after I decided I would no longer put up with their bullying. They’re evangelicals, though, and big on no divorce and performative concern trolling so I’m anticipating a bit…

I have a weird etiquette problem. I separated from my husband back in July, which is terrifying because he’s been a fixture in my life since the late 80s, but also good because he was verbally and emotionally abusive and I was horribly depressed for years and felt helpless to rescue myself from the situation.

She was an EP on the show and producer on both movies. I think was more than just a vanity credit because there are a lot of articles where it sounds like she had a say in what went on.

Wow, he literally did exactly what I thought he was going to do if this whole thing was a publicity stunt.

I don’t think that will happen. Many of these people who are returning are also trying out the live game at the moment and the lag has actually worsened significantly, at least on my servers. I’m guessing not a small number of them will continue playing.

My poor German soon-to-be-ex SIL/clown is going to be very upset when she sees this ad (she once got really pissed at me for saying everyone hates mimes before I knew she was a clown).

They’re expecting a strong drop-off after a month or so when people find a new shiny. I’m guessing once it settles in, they’ll upgrade the tech.

Looks like Jacob Wohl finally found someone willing to go along with his shananigans.

Yup, this is widely regarded as a copy-cat hoax (his specialty) in that community.

But Catholic babies and therefore not Christian babies according to evangelicals, so who cares, amirite?

No, I agree with you there. I don’t mean manufactured in the sense that it couldn’t happen - I’ve been puzzled why people think vaping is safe for ages now - I just find the lack of specifics around the actual illness and why they’re convinced it has to be vaping without presenting any reasoning or evidence is really…

I have asthma and hate being around smoke and strong smells, whether people are smoking or vaping, but I’ve also been feeling like this scare is all really convenient and manufactured somehow.

I’m in Germany and I’ve seen mineral water in cans, though plastic/glass is more frequent. Milk mainly comes in TetraPak or glass bottles.

Other streamers are fairly frequently hosted on channels that are currently not being broadcast. That’s just Twitch SOP.

Grandparents rights are only a thing in a few states, luckily, and often only where there was an existing close relationship already.

And it was Bella Thorne’s face.

I hope this creepypasta gets the movie treatment.

The only people for whom he was “beloved” back then were extremely right-wing republicans.
