| Stalolin 10/03/20 4:13:10 PM #1 | People who are short on relatives can hire a husband, a mother, a grandson. The resulting relationships can be more real than youd expect. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/04/30/japans-rent-a-family-industry This topic is part of a new series of topics I'm making (about two or three a week) that shares my love of long-form journalism, especially the storytelling kind. I keep a list of all the articles I read, and all the ones I post here are from my favourites, but this one is definitely in the hall of fame. I highly recommend it. Previous articles: The Strange and Curious Tale of the Last True Hermit For nearly thirty years, a phantom haunted the woods of Central Maine. Unseen and unknown, he lived in secret, creeping into homes in the dead of night and surviving on what he could steal. To the spooked locals, he became a legendor maybe a myth. They wondered how he could possibly be real. Until one day last year, the hermit came out of the forest. https://www.gq.com/story/the-last-true-hermit The Last Ride of Cowboy Bob https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/the-last-ride-of-cowboy-bob/ He wore a Western hat, never spoke a word, and robbed bank after bank. When the feds finally arrested him, they discovered that their suspect was actually a soft-spoken woman. They thought theyd never hear from her again but she had other plans.

Nearly 20 years later, living in Australia, he began a painstaking search for his birth home, using ingenuity, hazy memories, and Google Earth. |
| Topic | Anybody else turn hard misanthrope in 2020? |
| Stalolin 10/03/20 8:47:03 AM #2 | Misanthrope? I don't hate my fellow man, even when he's tiresome and surly and tries to cheat at poker. I figure that's just the human material, and him that finds in it cause for anger and dismay is just a fool for expecting better. |
| Topic | I've been mishearing the lyrics of Juice by Lizzo this whole time |
| Stalolin 10/03/20 5:05:06 AM #3 | jeffhardyb0yz posted... Firstly, I love Juice so much that Ive already listened to it twice today and its only 5 am. Wait which line? |

| Stalolin 10/03/20 5:02:46 AM #1 | She says Im like Chardonnay, get better over time. I always thought she was saying I like shawty naked better over time. Which in retrospect doesnt make any sense but there you go. Let the roasting commence! |
| Topic | Sorry but Ana de Armas was robbed |
| Stalolin 10/03/20 2:17:57 AM #11 | Agreed. Classic milquetoast CE. |
| Topic | Whenever I see the polls, I'm reminded not to be in an echo chamber like here |
| Stalolin 10/03/20 1:15:14 AM #10 | Wutobliteration posted... it's not. Most republicans will still vote Trump come November. And you know the country is almost evenly split betw. democrats and republicans. Doesnt mean they dont hate him. |

| Topic | What is your personal job interview success rate? |
| Stalolin 10/02/20 7:50:06 PM #20 | Maybe like 80-90% but I havent applied for many jobs. Outside high school Ive had two, one I was given based on what I guess youd call an internship and the other I got the job after a successful interview. |
| Topic | This board is nothing but an echo chamber. |
| Stalolin 10/02/20 7:47:39 PM #16 | I actually think this place has more differing viewpoints and genuine discussion than somewhere like reddit (because of how the subreddit and karma systems work) or Twitter. |

| Topic | Article: The Strange and Curious Tale of the Last True Hermit |
| Stalolin 10/01/20 5:59:08 AM #3 | I guess what gets me and what I wish the author had pressed on more was his state of mind when he decided to leave. How long had been wanting to do that for? Why was he so driven? Did he feel any remorse for just leaving his poor family to think he was dead? |
