This sounds so familiar. Did you post this last year?

This will probably get buried, but this thread is the BEST and I’ve always wanted to contribute! I grew up in a very spooky old town with roots that go back to early Colonial days, so I have lots of creepy stories from my childhood and young adulthood. Here’s one that I call “Baby Dolls.”

Dean said it best:

Have you ever read “The Gift of Fear”? Basically the entire premise is that we have finely honed survival instincts through millenia of evolution that tell us through small subliminal clues that we’re in danger, but we’ve trained ourselves out of listening to them. But WE SHOULD LISTEN TO THEM.

Or the guy who was in a hotel room with John Wayne Gacy. OMG. That one fucked me up.

This happened to me about ten years ago while I was attending college at West Virginia University. At the time, I was really into backcountry camping, which for reasons that will become obvious, I am not into anymore. One of the benefits (actually probably the only benefit) of attending college in West Virginia was…

I enjoy My Favorite Murder, which is more true crime/comedy (weird combo, I know!).

YES. THIS IS MY FAVORITE POST OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I really doubt someone as connected as George wouldn’t know at least some of the allegations against him.

Clooney is clearly trying to win the race to be woke on this. Whatever. This analysis is spot on. Given how many insiders knew about Weinstein and how brazen Weinstein was, I’ll never believe Clooney on this.

Of the men staying silent, I wonder if any of them have similar skeletons in their closets. Especially those that went out of their way to kill the original story from coming out.

I’m sure Kim did not display any mortal fear during the actual robbery, right? It’s not like he could have possibly noticed the emotional damage being inflicted upon her in real time, right?

No, you’re right, it sounds like a person who lacks empathy trying to fake what they think it feels like, which always comes across creepy. Also in criminal justice reconciliation situations, I strongly believe the victim should be the one to reach out first. Perpetrators initiating contact can feel manipulative,…

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. It felt disturbing and creepy. Maybe I’ve been watching too many episodes of “The Fall” lately, but it sounds like something a serial killer (and narcissist) would think or say. Kim (through all the tears) talked about how she believed she was about to be raped in that moment, and…

“After observing your emotion and realizing the psychological damages I inflicted...I decided to write to you, not to obtain from you some sort of indulgence. I want to come to you as a human being to tell you how much I regret my gesture, how much I have been moved and touched to see you in tears.”

He is right about O’Connor being different than him. He WAS uncomfortable with the things his character said, and felt conflicted about scripts. I also learned that Sherman Hemsley HATED using the word “honkey” - because he didn’t use it in real life - and had asked writers to tone it down.

Yeah, Archie Bunker was not meant to be an aspirational figure, by any means.

These are probably the same people who think Rick Sanchez and Bojack Horseman are supposed to be role models.

Absolutely! It’s sad that conservatives just don’t seem to understand Norman Lear and simply take Archie Bunker at face value with zero sense of irony.

Kim can have babies on her own no problem. It’s just once they’re in her body, they make her want to die and vomit. She reacted that way because her 20 year old sister was knocked up by some guy she had been dating for appx 4 minutes.
