Is that something you’re doing at work?

My girlfriend in high-school had an imaginary friend when she was a child. By the time we had met and got together he was in jail for murder I think. That was the end of the friendship.

I have no idea what sources are credible anymore at this point, so my apologies if I got this wrong. https://philkoopman.substack.com/p/people-are-still-being-burned-alive I will admit that the wording of my previous statement was not the best. It’s certainly not them doing it in their own, it’s the result of a crash or the like, but to clarify I meant without accelerants. And it’s not them locking the doors, but the power to the locks failing because of the fire or damage in the crash and them not having manual locks.

I wasn’t paying very close attention to the stories when they first started circulating, I imagine I’m not the first or last to have that takeaway just from casual observation.

Don’t they sometimes just go up in flames on their own and lock the doors preventing anyone inside from getting out?

Probably not the worst I ever read, but whenever a question such as this comes up my mind immediately goes to one of the Tarot books by Piers Anthony. I don’t remember which one, it was just in a pile of books people left in a dorm one time and I had nothing to read. I finished it, but I can’t tell you anything about it other than the vague recollection that I hated it.

As far as I can tell from a cursory Google search is the original said “Russian neighbors”

I will also say it’s hard to choose. I suppose it really depends on my mood or feelings at the time. However that being said, Pod People is the most memorable to me, followed extremely closely by Cavé Dwellers.

Oh man, my family loved Super Solvers Midnight Rescue! I vividly remember playing that with my older siblings, but our monitor was green and black, no color, so I’d never actually seen it before in color. But the music stuck with me and probably sparked my love for In the Hall of The Mountain King.

Also had Ernie’s magic shapes and colors… which was pretty hard to do when everything is green. What were my parents thinking buying a color matching game without a color monitor?

Combat on the Atari 2600. There are games I remember better, but I do know that was my favorite… just no one would play it with me.

Doesn’t really consider upcasting though…

The thing that sticks out in my mind right now is the steamed pizza buns (pizzaman) from 7-11 in Japan. That feels somewhat embarrassing to say because it’s just a convenience store snack… but I miss them constantly.

I’m pretty sure it’s the same for me, with perhaps the one exception when the party masqueraded as a traveling musical troupe and had to name the troupe. However when the masquerade ended the name was never spoken again. So maybe that kinda counts?

I am not an expert in any field relating to any of this by any means, but we can all agree that CSAM is unequivocally reprehensible. Thusly many people will have severe issues with anything that normalizes it even remotely. That would be my knee jerk response anyway.
