Overall I feel pretty disappointed in all of this. It seems like they've been dropping all the original stuff like Raised by Wolves or The Nevers and just making a bunch of spin off/remakes of existing stuff like a Harry Potter TV

So literally there is nothing that can be done to convince you then? Your prior is so strong that you are going to deny any evidence because you've decided something cannot happen.

But Yvonne's funeral is recorded in contemporary newspapers, saying it was well attended and their was a viewing at the home. There is a death certificate signed by the parish priest and a notary. This swap wouldn't have been simp

We have records of the daughters funeral in the towns newspapers. It was well attended and there was a viewing of the body afterward. Many people would have had to have been fooled/in on it from the very beginning.

I'm replying to myself to lay out the timeline of Yvonne's death, since that is when people claim this switch happened. So first Yvonne's husband Joseph requested leave from the military and was granted it because his wife wa

It is an outlier, but as someone who works with data I can assure you that outliers happen all the time. That is just life. They lived in an apartment above their business, a drapery store, so in the center of town pretty much. They also ha

First off the allegation isn't pension fraud, it's inheritance tax dodging. Or sometimes it's claims about tuberculosis that don't make sense. Secondly as I have said the whole swap thing has been investigated by multipl

But many people who were younger then her remember her during that time period that you say she was only pretending for the taxman. All of these claims are coming from people who live in another country and never did any investigatory fiel

You think in a small town if someone's mom died and they started pretending to be her and pretending their dad is their husband people wouldn't think that was weird and talk about it?

The extraordinary claim here is that a 34 year old woman would impersonate her mother for decades, including living with her father, and no one would ever notice or say anything. Your perspective is like arresting anyone who wins the lotto

I don't believe that is true in France, or at least not back then there were laws about minimum inheritances.

I was initially prone to believeing this, but the more I looked into it the more I realized how little sense it would make. For your points: 1. This was the thing that initially made me skeptical, but it's just not enough to say. Sure

The police in my city encourage people to register their ring cameras, saying if a crime has been committed they may ask to see the footage and how it is entirely voluntary. Articles like this show that you need to be skeptical of any claim

Having an extra billion dollars doesn't actually effect his life at all with his level of wealth. He's after the feeling of power at this point and is willing to lose/spend huge amounts of money for that feeling.

It's because he is a bully and enjoys feeling powerful by being snarky to someone less powerful to him and then having a bunch of people compliment him for doing it. Like I wish that wasn't the reason and was willing to give him t

I mean, Alexander was if nothing else a pretty bad guy to be be around. Just ask his friend Cleitus who saved Alexander's life but would later get killed by him in a drunken fight.

The article mentions two people who did/attempted that, one in France where they had to read a letter of objection from Beckett's estate and another in 2019 that was cancelled due to a lawsuit threat. The fact that Beckett's

Yeah, the act of physically writing (as in not typing) words on paper helps me to remember things better and distill the important parts in my head. Just reading someone else's notes is not as useful for me.

The sheer scale facial recognition allows makes it different yes. You could ban millions of individuals with automatic facial recognition which you simply can't do manually.

In the US the real cap is on residency programs which are handled physicians. So there has been a slight increase in medical schools but not as much of an increase in residency programs which leaves some unfortunate graduates unmatched.

What exactly are you disagreeing with? An enslaved woman can't consent to sex by her captors by definition so it's rape and Ibn Fadlan further mentions her being drugged and then the men drumming on the shields to drown out the so
