Not me personally, but I worked with a guy that always thought Secret Agent Man was Secret Asian Man.

Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice. Played it with headphones as many suggested. I had recently lost my uncle, who by the time he died, was in a pretty bad state mentally. Seeing and hearing things that weren't there. Everyone out to get him. Calling to say the cops were trying to break into his home. No one was there.

He was a good guy and incredibly funny. Introduced me to the greatness of Monty Python at a young age. He was getting some better help near the end, finally. In part because he finally was accepting help.

He was a Vietnam vet, and from what everyone told me came back changed like so many did. This, in part, led to drug use that spiraled him down. Much better handled than some as he always held a job and such.

But the game made me think of what he might have been experiencing, and it was overwhelming for me. I think I stopped a third of the way through. It is very well done, but I just couldn't deal with it.

She turned me into a newt!

I think it absolutely is. I played it a bit at launch and didn't find it near as bad as others but still set it aside. Started it fresh again with the expansion, and I had such a blast with it. You own it, so I see no reason not to a least give it a try.

I did, and it is.

He himself admitted he was an abuser of people in his life. Both male and female. Sure, people see that as him atoning for those past abuses. But it is clear he wasn't this nice person people think of when they think of his anti-war and peace stance in life.

Too many syllables for him to read. So it would be wasted if he can't be annoyed by it.

When this was posted before someone who followed it fairly closely and others like it, updated the thread with info because the article was behind current info. They had already stopped the trials for MS because it wasn't working. So they began to just focus on one other, the Crohn's, I believe. Figuring if they got one to work, they could go back to the others and get them on the right track.

I have MS, and while this is a new approach, there have been so many articles about treatments that end up going nowhere after the first excitement. So it is still very early to get hopes up.

Hope can be a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane, as Red said.

Agreed, thanks for sharing it.

Yeah, it seems like they went on that buying spree to make themselves more attractive to sell.

That'll do.

Key word potential. I've seen so many of these over the years. The frustrating ones can be like these when even the earliest clinical trials haven't been started.

Sounds cynical, I know, but I've lived with the disease for a long time. Something like this will get circulated in support groups without them understanding just how early this is for a potential treatment.

Fuddy-duddy.

(You said I could)

I've never lost a war by following this advice. Also, am still a dumbass.

I believe that is the one that his car was targeted, but she happened to be in it at the time when he was expected to be.

That is it.

Though a quick look, looks like his actual details that I read are scrubbed. Will check further though.

I remember there being separate sections or possible a link to other stuff. Been awhile, so hard to remember. Not even sure how I stumbled upon it anymore. Must have been in a true crime reddit thread.

Wondering if whoever maintains it took down his actual writings.

It is way down the list, not even top 30. Pokémon tops all at 88 billion.

One night, I stumbled on a website posting the thoughts and words of Joseph Duncan, who killed a family in northern Idaho. As well as others in other states. He was on death row and wasn't allowed internet access, but he was getting his words out there, and someone was posting for him.

He went into many details of what led to those Idaho murders. Things that were never mentioned in the press. How he came to be there and very intimate details of that night and things that happened after. It was not easy to read, but I had this weird sense of obligation to continue once I started. Like I would be doing the family a disservice if I didn't read what they had gone through that night. Sounds weird, I know. There are certain scenes of it that I'll never get out of my head.

When he was caught with the lone survivor, he had kidnapped (kidnapped two but killed the boy not long after), I was just down the street at a different restaurant. I had just moved to the area when the murders happened.

He also went into detail about him taking and killing a boy in southern California, which was near where I grew up.

I don't remember the website name, and I imagine it is gone now since he died of cancer in 2020.

Which is so odd to me. I get that some are trying to play the innocent until proven guilty thing. But the thing is, we know for a fact he has essentially lied about his resume and won an election based on it. Every place I worked, you could be fired if they found out you lied on an application or resume. Why should it be any different with this? So even without a conviction on the legal side of things, they all should have wanted him out based on fabricating his whole life.
