The theory I like for Bigfoot, UFOs, ghosts, and Cryptids is that they are from other dimensions normally invisible to ours, but there are people or places where some kind of cross-dimensional transference occurs and they pop into our dimension briefly. So essentially they are all the same phenomenon. It’s a little too convenient of an explanation, but I like how it “feels” as a commentary on it.

This is Reddit. Any response less belligerent than gleeful smugness that there are 3 less “Trumptards” and “religious fanatics” is considered insufficiently supportive to the “communities” that Orange man “harms.” There are a lot of genuinely sick people, especially here on the internet, especially in heavily moderated upvote consensus-manufacturing apps, that openly wish the half of the country who disagrees with them would keel over and die.

One poor kid in my son's class who was already well, I guess you would say troubled. Just disturbed in quite a few ways. Met him a few times and there was a nice kid under all the various behaviors.

To top it off his father somehow actually got himself all over the news and even worse the story made national news, no idea how. Guy said Bigfoot threw rocks at his camper. I ' think ' that was the whole story too. Just threw rocks.

I won't repeat how the son reacted , it wasn't good. We're not a big foot sighting area, I hear he took a lot of typical bullying nonsense for it.

So if Big Foot did exist why in hell would he walk around throwing rocks at campers? We lost track of the kid but I do think about him sometimes and hope he's ok.

We really went all out. A friend had a husky that shed big clumps of fur. We'd snag the fur on branches like 6 feet up.

I frequent a couple table top gaming stores. One night I was playing a game with a friend and two older guys I'd never meant before. One of the guys looks at his watch and goes "Oh no! I have to leave! I have really important things to do!".

We all just said cool, we'd just continue without him. He sat there a minute longer and was saying things like "Yup, IMPORTANT STUFF TO DO!!". Finally the friend who knew him asks what he had to do. He looked around all conspiratorial and says "Bigfoot" in an exaggerated whisper.

Now at this point he had my attention. I ask where and it turns out he was out looking for my friends and I. I tell him all about our exploits.

I saw a bit of light leave his eyes. It broke his damn crazy heart.

That’s not true at all

The UK’s violent gun death rate is 0.06 per 100,000. In America it’s 4.43 per 100,000. That’s a 73x difference

You’re comparing us to South American countries? That’s exactly my point.

Compare us to Europe, Canada and East Asia. The other first world developed countries in the world. They all have mental health issues just like us… difference is they don’t have gun violence like us because they limit access to it
