Fun fact, back in 2017 when I was a junior in highschool, I would meet this friend of mine often at her house. She lived pretty far into this gated community that was right on the edge of where Rancho Santa Fe ends. I really don’t remember how the topic came up, but she told me that the mansion where the Heavens gate cult had killed themselves was literally a 5 min walk. I knew about the cult, but I never knew it all took place in San Diego lol when I went home, I looked up the distance of her house to the address of the mansion (it took a little bit because I failed to notice they changed the address, which is 18241 Paseo Victoria) it was shocking to see that it really was like 5 min away.
- genewitch 5y agoI witnessed two police and retired police shootings in California. I also knew the 16 year old that axe murdered his entire family in vista, ca. I chose to leave the state, and now the worst I see is a dead deer 3 times a year. Chances are something unsettling has happened within 500' of you, some time in history. Don't let that weigh you down, in thoughts or body.

- nefitty 5y agoMy mind went immediately in a satirical direction. I often ignore that actually being there, in the physical space where something that intense happened could be psychologically difficult to handle. The internet gives us enough distance to make things so much more abstract.

- insan1d 5y agoNah, it didn’t way me down or bother me like that. It was more of a “what the shit, you’re kidding?” moment.
