This is the weirdest thing. https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-46261699 quote:Megumi was a baby when her parents separated and her father disappeared from her life. But years later her mother told her he wanted to reconnect. Megumi began to see Yamada regularly. She thinks he is her father, and that Yamada is his real name - but this is a lie.

Tiggum posted:Or, very slight chance, maybe she might go "How the gently caress could you carry out this insane deception for over a decade? You're clearly a psychopath and I'm going to the police because there's no way this isn't some kind of crime." Oh please, this is the country where renting actors to play a family visiting you as your child and grandchildren was considered a perfectly normal thing almost twenty years ago. Grandparents-for-hire to play with the kids, probably much longer than that. EDIT: It even says in the article that one benefit from this is that the person can now say that they have both parents, but they are divorced.Since of course the children of the single parents are considered weirdos in the society, because obviously it is the child's fault that the marriage collapsed.

mrkillboy posted:Dead baby found on side of the road on the Sunshine Coast Okay, I am genuinely confused here and the only way I can possibly think of this happening is that the back of the truck was completely full and so the passenger was sitting with a dead baby on their lap for a journey that was going to take so long that it required two drivers.

I'm thinking the baby was in the front passenger seat for whatever reason and was probably moved by the new driver to make room for a bag or something.

This other article says the baby was placed there while it was actually transferred between two vehicles which does make a bit more sense.

I feel like someone missed a trick with that headline. I would have led with "HARD BREXIT" and then "One million Viagra pills stockpiled" myself. Platystemon posted:New Mexico: I just found it. It was right between Arizona and Texas all along, wasn't it?

It's pretty rude that it's called New Mexico when it is right next to old Mexico. It isn't even on a different continent.
