Well, yes, but that’s basically a tautology. People who are taking opioids responsibly almost never overdose! Okay, fine, but thousands of people every year are dying from overdoses. “Wag our fingers at them” isn’t much of a solution.

You really are just a disingenuous fucknut, aren’t you?

While I’m certainly happy that America’s favorite QAnon-posting, Ambien-blaming shitbag did indeed lose her cashcow, it is really a bad thing that her character dies of an opioid overdose? It’s a serious problem, and even if one person out of the 15+ million who tuned in thinks that maybe they should ask their doctors…

Well, the real tragedy is that the photo they snapped lives on my old phone.

We had this dingy alley behind the theater that we shared with a bar but generally was barely wide enough for trash cans. The floor/street was unfinished, so it was just packed dirt and maybe some historic asphalt with random trash and puddles…

Lol! It's a great time to be in between jobs, I don't have to worry anything a zombie after being too scared to sleep haha!

And he was like the most typical nerd you could imagine. Like a college version of Martin Starr’s character in Freaks and Geeks. Probably also explains my weird crush on Martin Starr. 

Well, we swam in the quarry all the time with no incident. But a lot of quarries are dangerous because people dump garbage in them and they basically become cesspools. And also because people are dumb and dive into them from the rocks above, and your chances of hitting a rock or shallow ground or a barrel and cracking…

Terrifying!

I’ve climbed on grain elevators a lot, but never in my life has it occurred to me to go into the opening of one! That seems like an obviously terrible idea, since all the ones I’ve seen, there’s not really an easy, “Get on back up out of there!” feature. But I guess kids will do extremely stupid things.

Who’s weirder--the weirdo who licks a stranger’s chest in the middle of the night, or the weirdo who is not weirded out by it?

I live in New England and grew up here and, yeah, stairs are in the woods sometimes. That’s true. It’s also true that any park ranger or person familiar with the situation will tell you to never go near them. BUT it’s because you might fall into a deep foundation or outhouse pit or well that was built near them. Over…

this is doin me a major frighten, sir

YES I think I ended up there through this series a few years back and still think about it all the time. Usually these stories read as obviously fake but something about those ones were just so engrossing and believable.

KNIJA FINALLY LOADED THE THREAD thnk u bby jesus

Ah damn, forgot to write about that.  Yeah, there’s a part of my family that believes that whatever issues they had beforehand were magnified by whatever was happening in the house and led to a quicker divorce.  They’ve never made an attempt to reconcile, so whatever happened between them it must have been more…

When we were kids, my sister and I watched “Now and Then” with our neighbor friends. We were 4 girls between the ages of 9 and 13 - I was the youngest. Despite my mom’s religious upbringing and banning of Ouija boards and anything else that could be considered Satanic, the movie exposed us to the concept of a seance.

Na…

I’m so hoping someone has a good ‘staircase going to nowhere in the woods’ one this year, those are my favorite!

This is not my story, but my best friend’s, and I’m sharing with his blessing. (Re-post from last year.)

I’ve only got the one, so I suppose I’ll tell it again:

But what if sleep paralysis is just a convenient way to explain away truly paranormal experiences?
