Fell asleep at 11pm, wide awake at 3am.

Laughing at that mushroom case subreddit, everyone is losing their minds about how what happened to Simon wasn't allowed to be presented as evidence in this case. Um, maybe because there's no solid proof she poisoned Simon those times; I have no doubt she did, but they cannot prove it, so inadmissable as evidence.

Good thing the jury found her guilty anyway, but this has highlighted how little the public knows about criminal case proceedings, good fkn lord 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

And I got downvoted for telling someone they were gross for purposefully driving by Erin's house. It's not a tourist destination! Give it a few years after sentencing at least! Other people live on that street FFS.

Purposely driving past her house is pathetic, terminally online behaviour.

So fucking glad I deleted my reddit account.

Yeah I need to delete, like I should have done so years ago. Not good for my head.

That’s so gross and weird to do. I even feel a little bit bad sometimes even commenting on the situation because it’s not a spectacle, it’s people’s lives and they’re still probably shocked and grieving.

Imagine the reality of things right now for the kids. Don’t drive by stalk a devastated family bro.

[–] Eagle@aussie.zone 6 points 6 months ago

They are absolutely devastated and grieving still.

It's so gross! I think I also got a little triggered, because it reminded me of the shit my mum used to do when I was a teen:

smol traumaShe really believed she was psychic, and would drive around at all hours of the night trying to "find" Bung Siriboon, one hand on the wheel and the other tracing words on her thigh. She'd drive like a fucking idiot too, because she wasn't paying full attention, so I'd go with her because I was afraid she'd get into a crash and die and I wouldn't know.

Wrote a whole rant, but backtracked it. But yup, that sub needs a new hobby.

It's a hive mind of damn idiots. Too many fuckwicks who want justice to be revenge.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 6 months ago

it's bots from foreign adversaries like russia, china and iran

they post to inflame anger and division and to make people forget that we are a country of laws and justice

bots are very active on social media

we are in Cold War II and I am not exaggerating
