Added context: OK we just started talking about this and the mother had called a sister and the ex husband before the suicide. They had rushed over but were too late. Also the daughter was the one who sent someone to buy poison telling the man to buy this specific poisonous thing they put in wheat when drying it. Idk what its called. So the kids knew
And the most beautiful parts of the country (up north) are the most crazy parts. It’s where the Taliban has roots and where all the Afghanis immigrated.
So on the government level this problem just doesn’t exist? Something tells me such gangs couldn’t be allowed to prosper if not for strategic bribes to the officials or informal relations with them. I’ve heard such stories about different times and places, but the size of operations eluded me.
It was about India, but Slumdog Millionaire’s main characters were too at a risk of being mutilated to beg by a gangster. Since it gained such traction and was hugely criticized there, I wonder if someone took a second glance at that problem.
Well it kind of does now. But the government is a non factor in the country in these matters.
All government departments are in fact corrupt and incompetent.
Now I haven’t seen slumdog millionaire and wasn’t aware thats what it was about. But south asian countries are massive and kind of lawless so its unlikely this will ever be solved.
Haha no I intend to make a post about that too but essentially we live near a damn and he went fishing there and got in a fight. Went to shoot somebody and succeeded but got shot back. Never told anyone he was going so didn’t have any backup either
Before you wonder, theres a lot of afghani refugees here and if you think this story is violent this is nothing. They are TTA members and build temporary houses here which get washed away in the rain every year and they fight over everything and unlike everyone else they fight like they don’t care if they live as long as they can fuck you up. Everyone wants them as far away as possible hence they werent allowed here.
This post was written by me (the asshole boyfriend) but dictated by my girlfriend. But that account is now hers and she’ll be using it henceforth (hopefully).
And in my defense. A month before that she had pranked me by telling me she was pregnant, in a country where not only is abortion illegal, it’s illegal to get pregnant outside of wedlock (unless it’s rape). So either we had to get a shotgun marriage or she had to report a rape. And thats ignoring our families who woulda killed us anyways!
No offense to the writer, but this feels realistic precisely because nothing actually happened in it. This feels like the dreams I have where it’s mostly just a scene, an image, an emotion, not a plotline.
Yeah very likely. But belief and perception shape our reality. If OP immersed themselves in the experience, the intensity of their belief made it undeniably real within their own perspective. In OPs mind, the emotions, thoughts, and sensations were genuine. Creating a reality that is authentic and meaningful to them, regardless of external perceptions/ “objective reality”.
Yeah, I’m sure it was real to them. It just sounded so relatively mundane.
This puts me contrary to a lot of people online who make it their responsibility to point out “And everyone clapped” or “This totally happened”. I actually like reading entertaining stories, whether real or not.
Rereading the purpose of this community, I’m reminded that this is for real-life encounters. So this story fits perfectly here. I was just amused by how real it actually sounded, because most scary stories online are so carefully crafted and curated.
