Police interviewed Schabusiness and asked her what happened. She replied, “That is a good question.” Schabusiness said she and the victim were together all day Tuesday and had been smoking meth.

How did it start?
I became really active in those communities starting about 2015-2016, when I was a 16 year-old kid, and it all started with a couple of those “feminist owned” compilations that were plastered everywhere at the time.
At the time I was dealing with a lot of problems for a kid my age, and a lot of things that contributed to me being a target for these groups. I had an alcoholic mother who would pass out during the day and leave me to look after 2 kids, I dealt with SA as a child that gave me weird views about sex and relationships, and I had undiagnosed ASD & ADHD which made it hard to keep friends, do well at school, and have any sort of positive opinion of myself.
What is Seppuku?
Seppuku is a ritualized and institutionalized form of suicide among the Samurai in Feudal Japan, performed by plunging a sword into your stomach and disemboweling yourself.
It was fundamentally an “honorable” way to commit suicide when you would otherwise be killed, not some random act done based on minor embarrassment.
Samurai would do it rather than be captured by a hostile force or after being convicted of very serious crimes. Sometimes it would be a requirement for a peace treaty and basically replaced killing the leader of the losing faction.

Keeping Up With The Joneses

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of seeing your neighbor drive up in their beautiful new car or hearing about their fabulous planned vacation.
It can make you forget about every other plan or goal you’ve made for yourself. Keeping up with the Joneses can eat away at your financial dreams.
“Keeping up with the Joneses” means to try to own all the same things as people you know in order to seem as good as them.
But when you’re making purchases that have no value beyond impressing others, you’re shortchanging your future.
