Yeah, would have been handy. I really don't drive very often, but probably worth doing anyway.

Couple of years ago, I ended up driving into the side of this guy who, coming from the lane to the left of me suddenly decided he needed to make a right turn to the exit on my right.

There were no cameras, so in the end the insurance companies agreed to split the blame 50:50. I'm still furious about it! 😁

Lost in the Movies - fewer than 10k subscribers, but he deserves so many more.

His work is generally on movies and TV, usually with a more art house feel.

His major piece of work though is his 30-40 part video series (and also podcast/blog) on Twin Peaks.

None of your, "Here's the explanation of EVERYTHING," nonsense here though.

Instead he looks at the show, its characters and its arcs with a contemplative eye, picking out interesting visual and narrative parallels, examining the show and film as a piece of art rather than as a puzzle to be 'solved'.

It's exceptional and it mystifies me that it's not more well known. He's been doing it for about ten years now I think. If you're a Peaks fan, it's an absolute must IMO.

It's worth the laugh track 😁

Not even Father Ted?

Indeed 👍

That's some vivid and disturbing imagery! :-)

So, no difference then?

That's a shame, I like that it asks which kind of note you want. Most notes I make are in the form of checklists, and the choice of format when starting a new note felt much more convenient than opening a note and then having to turn it into a list afterwards.

I imagine there will be a large number of people who's first step is to futility off themselves everyday.

Possibly, although from their point of view (and going by GD rules), they would wake, kill themselves and then immediately wake again.

So, after a while of trying that, it might make more sense for them to try and make the days feel as long as possible to delay that waking up moment.

Meanwhile, Ann Telnaes, the cartoonist at WaPo has resigned, after her cartoon (see link below) satirising all this toadying behaviour was rejected:

Yes, officer, this post right here... ;-)

I'll be careful.

This is kind of a cheat, as it's been significantly re-evaluated since its release, so I'm not alone, but IMO Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is a masterpiece - it was HATED when it came out though, and even now I suspect there's a lot of people who would say the same.

Agree with all of this, other than the prequels, which I really didn't like.

I heard somewhere that sad tears help remove stress hormones from your body to help you feel better sooner.

This may be pseudo-science nonsense though, I'm not sure.

I wonder if any of the devices (assuming you still have them) might be a route to identifying where and when they were purchased.

The phone's IMEI number for example, is unique to that specific device - so in theory there ought to be a way to find out exactly who sold it, where, when and ideally to whom.

Not that this is something for you to do yourself, but it could be a line of enquiry for police or (as I suggested in a previous comment) a lawyer.

If financially feasible, OP, I wonder if it would be worth contacting a lawyer? If nothing else they might be able to advise on next steps and/or pressure the police to do something more than nothing at all.

Based on this and the other message you posted, this person sounds pretty unpleasant, and potentially much worse. I hope this gets sorted soon. Be safe.

How would OP stop them getting the new number if OP doesn't know who they are?

It could be any of the many people who has her current number and would likely be given it again freely when the number was changed.

Ah, the Shaggy Defence.
