Maybe it's just with me, but stolen blanket syndrome never has anything to do with the size of the blanket. I've had floor-to-floor size blankets that still somehow end up entirely on one side (and the floor on that side).
I'm morbidly curious whether she was actually cheating on him with the dude who got the picture. Was it a horrible feeling of realization on the receiver's otherwise blissful friday evening? Was it guilt? Was it that creeping trauma that won't be understood until years later because of one insane dipshit's rage?
Those poor fucking kids, man. I can't imagine myself at the age of five thinking my parents were anything but perfect.
Don't pigeonhole me like that! I realized after 100 hours!
... I realized it after 1k hours, also, but I realized it at 100 hours...
When I was a kid we had three...
boiler
One was broken, the other was on the countertop, and the third was stored in the attic equivalent, but we had three!
Wait, is that what the popcorn button does? I always thought it just was a preset for a time that would work decently for most standard brands.
I had one of those. For all that infomercials are functionally the worst thing in the world for getting a valid perspective on a product, that thing cooked everything they said it did, and it did it deliciously.

Good lord. How in the hell does that thinking even survive a first pass at thinking about how a fru-fru place like an ice cream shop could survive while the people living there wouldn't be able to get to a place with 'real food' on offer?
I really want to see the presentation of both sides on this. I'm not much of a horror buff, but in the movies I have watched I don't really remember the genitals as a general target on men or women, just generic death.
Honestly, that's all they're good for: creating paranoia/terror/nervousness in the subject. Go read the 'how to beat a polygraph' book. Knowledge is calming.
Also? It's not anything to do with symptoms showing stronger on baseline questions. The only big giveaway is breathing. I work in the medical field. Blood pressure, heart rate, bla bla bla... they all vary with frequencies and magnitudes that don't allow them to be filtered from responses that do signify anything. The only vital sign that has a low enough rate for changes to really be detected is how often you take a breath. If you control that, the game is over. A really observant tester watching a testee attempting (poorly) to mask breathing rate may notice something is off, but it's still a judgement call whether it's due to nervousness and the attempt to calm down, or actual deception.
The best way to 'pass' a polygraph is to be just nice/cute enough to get the tester to like you somewhat, and then control your breathing. The proper test has them talking to you for at least a half hour beforehand so they can 'get an idea' about you, so you have plenty of time to be friendly. Take advantage of that. There is some nice research out there about self-disclosures and their effect on being liked. If they see a pattern that could be you being nervous, could be you trying to deceive, being liked will tip them towards the kinder perception.
Meanwhile, I've told the absolute truth and failed. Polygraphs are dumb as shit.
I can nearly guarantee you that one of the courts, whether the current court or a later appellant court, will weasel their way to saying that the evidence being used would have been found anyway (the second exception), and thus won't get thrown out even if they admit to the search being illegal.
