It was bound to happen. Had to walk a long way home tonight.

That's horrible. I hope you didn't actually witness it.

I got there literally two minutes after it happened. Fucking chaos.

What do you mean, it had to happen? Does this sort of thing happen regularly in Japan? I thought people only jumped/got pushed in front of trains in Cold War spy novels.

A friend of mine was killed by a train while walking home a few years back. He left his brothers place to walk his dog at his own home down the street late at night, and he took the rail road tracks that passes by both places. He never saw it coming. His brother was so distraught, he ended up drinking himself to death and died almost exactly a year later from liver failure. The Father didn't last long after all that either.

I still see the son of the brother who drank himself to death once in a while. He's doing surprisingly well for what he had to go through. Tough kid.

Live for today.

Every day.

I'm surprised it took so long for me to finally randomly witness one.

Why does it happen so often?

Was told on Leftbook today that I'm a bad feminist for "defending cheaters" when I bitched someone out for doxxing a supposedly married stranger who appeared to be seeking side action on tindr. It turned out to be a catfish in the end but I told OP that's it's none of their business what this Chad was doing and unless she knew the person or people involved her contacting the wife or taking any action was weird monogamist vigilantism and totally overstepping.

So what do you think MB? When is it appropriate to contact a spouse or partner of a cheater? Do you agree with me that unless the cheater or person being cheated on is a close friend or relative it's not your business at all or do you think that anyone being cheated on deserves to know?

Outing a cheater should only be done under the close supervision of Joey Greco.

I feel like if they're acquainted with the person being cheated on it's okay. Doing it a stranger is very over the line. It also depends on the type of doxxing. Privately telling the other partner is fine, doxxing in a public forum is entirely unacceptable and if you participate in that you are a rather large piece of ****.

I'm on the mind your own business side. I take that to heart even if it is someone you are close to or a relative. Just don't get involved. I'm not in a romantic relationship with the person so it isn't my place to get involved. I personally would rather find out on my own than from a third party.
