LaEspoir

If you want to propose another case just start another topic in the cases section. Any and all cases are okay!

I recently watched both Trainspotting 1 and 2, Buffalo 66, and La Haine. I am pretty sure these are all arthouse indiefilms and are well accredited for their Cinematography and impressive camera work and directing. Buffalo 66 disturbed me heavily as I was not used to seeing a movie like that. I am used to odd and weird movies with dark themes but I dont know why it was so unsettling for me. Trainspotting reminded me of my life despite the fact that I don't have a drug addiction and it helped me reflect alot. La haine helped me reflect on the level of corruption and racism in the world. I could also see a reflection of part of my life in that movie. These movies moved me and In that sense I would say they are all great. 

Uncracking the case is A Okay! I dont mind being on this case a while. if you want we can keep investigating further, Welcome to the club. I noticed they were chinese too. If you look back on the 2nd or 3rd Response to this Thread you'll see how I found an adjacent anomaly to this case with the Chinese users named 51WLB. If thats anything that rings any bells for you or helps let me know and I will continue to research more. I think we need to establish what we want out of these cases. 

Once again I wanna say your information was super valuable and I am very grateful for your joining to the club 

You have cracked the case! That's amazing, You helped me a bunch on this I am excited for new mysteries. We've compiled a good amount of Info so People who are interested can truly understand why these exist. I don't Know if we should hunt down scammers like these or I should just leave the club as just a Encyclopedia of Mysteries.

Welcome to the Club! and your information is really useful thank you. I did not know how prevalent they are on the forum prior to the 2020s. That means they've been targeting forums for a while now. Though after research in FINDING other forums (Which are all dead essentially) I found none. Though According to AI 88 is used as a lucky number as Really big Betting companies in EU use 88 In their names. Even having commercials on TV.

oh my goodness...............................yeah that seems so fishy................................ that's actually so scary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah it really is eyebrow raising, they arent even trying to hide anything. Clearly trying to exploit gacha game players and stuff on this forum. But luckily forum is relatively dead and Net safety in this era is higher so people know to avoid these things.

I don't have any advice to give but I wish you the best of luck!

Thanks bro 

So I am thinking about studying abroad since I am a dual citizen, US and EU. I looked into the benefits abroad and it just seems 10x better. I have already finished half my bachelors. I got an associates degree to show for it. But I want to switch majors. I plan on moving with my fiance and supporting ourselves. If any of you guys know anything about this stuff or got any advice let me know! 

(!!UPDATE!!) Researching online lead me to finding the city of valencia, It seems like a nice place for a POC as me. It has the benefits I want and the nation seems to have good jobs stability. There is a community of my people in that country and overall It seems that would be my goal in the future. Given the world doesn't break out into war. LOL! 
Still If anyone has any experience moving abroad or living in Europe please dm me or even leave a comment on this post. 

My dad’s oldest sister had black magic done to her the night before her wedding. She had became essentially senile at the age of like 20 something all the way up until she’s 70. She hadn’t spoke for years. And should signs of being under black magic. I believe in spirits ghosts and black magic existing. She has recently just started talking. We believe the person that did the magic to her passed so the curse was lifted. Though we have no idea who.

UPDATE!!! 
More suspect forum accounts have been found! 
accounts named: 51爆料 and 51wlb have suspicious links in their bios names translating to “I want to expose” with pictures of what seems to be Asian streamers on their account. I know this is the sleuth club. But inspecting the forum for odd occurrences and bot accounts are interesting because who actually tends to see those accounts and engages? There are definitely other suspicious accounts on this forum. Stay vigilant and safe! 

Most of these accounts from a single google search comes up with loads of Chinese sites, sadly I am American without the ability to read mandarin, but from the looks of it fishy behavior .

I have been in a relationship for about 3+ years. I am engaged!
Really feel like I found my other half. Someone who takes my attention the second I see them. 
Love is Real!

I usually get on the forum after 2pm EST and I assume most people on the forum in other countries or they just don't visit as often. But when I do check the active users. I have noticed that they tend be "[Insert name]88[random letters]". They seem to be bot accounts linked to online gambling sites, all of these sites seem shady as hell and I was wondering why they were even on THIS forum specifically. I know the number 88 is linked to Nazi dog whistling. but in this instance I don't see that to be the reason the number 88 is involved. it's more like the BET88 thing going around. 

Any further research will be added on.

I've always liked the idea of being a techie at a science/research center.  Been doing this for several decades now so I'm good.   

Actually I'm looking forward to retirement now.  Assuming funds allow.  And WWIII doesn't break out.  That would suck.

That job sounds awesome. The world does scare me. But we have no real hand in it all we can do is hope for the best. I am glad you do something you enjoy.

Teacher.

A truly respectable profession. I want to at some point in life be able to teach history to the next generation. Nothing is more important than those who come after us.

People think we are all polite but trust me Canadians can talk smack behind ur back.

That’s interesting I’ve always been told only how  kind they are. Makes sense they gotta be rude somehow.

Pagodas and beaches. 

Pagodas are beautiful architecturally, and Beaches are awesome too! 

Welcome to the forum! (this is my first time in a forum too)

I am currently watching "Eden of the East" found it randomly while scrolling on my anime streaming site. It caught my eye. I am only 2 episodes in and still have no clue what its actually about! (Also watching Kaiji Simultaneously!)

Is there anyway you can elaborate? what about it's history. I love hearing about other countries history and what not!

Dream job was always one that I moonlight as now: Game Show Host

Always been a fan, love to play, love even more to host. And any cons that have let me do it for the last 17 years, it is both an honor and humbling experience, because it is NOT as easy as the greats have made it look on TV.

That is AWESOME. Its great you got to do what you wanted to do. I am sure it is really difficult. I took theater in senior year and loved it but never had the courage to go further. Even theater was nerve racking for me. You are a brave soldier. I hope your passion is rewarded!

I am from the US and my favorite thing about my country is BURGERS AND BRISKET!!!! what about you? what are your favorite foods from your country and favorite features from your country?

My fav psych manga/series is probably kaiji.  I haven't even finished it but it is genuinely so enticing.

depends on the game, some are romance / drama based like white album 2, but ones like subarashiki hibi focus more on non-romantic themes (like themes of philosophy, the supernatural and tragedy)

Honestly I never would've guessed that. I remember watching welcome to NHK and had the misconception that it was only about romance. I did understand that the Narrative was very important tho. Thanks for teaching me something new!

Just now, hikarinosisya said:
