The body of Molu Zarpeleh, 10, who was reported missing last Thursday night, was recovered from a privately-owned retention pond along 12th Street South around 8:40 a.m. Friday after authorities searched the pond, according to a new release from the City of Brookings.
A tip that Zarpeleh had been pushed into the pond that circulated on social media has been redacted by the tipster, said Chelsea Bakken, public information officer for the City of Brookings.
Investigators also reported that tips they received Friday related to circumstances surrounding the incident were not true but won’t state why. Police are ignoring it and ruling it an “accidental drowning but his mother says differently.
“A 10-year-old boy would not just take his sandals off and walk into the water,” she said. “He didn’t know how to swim.”
Brookings police and the Brookings Fire Department searched for Zarpeleh until about 2:30 a.m. Friday before the search was stopped due to safety concerns, poor lighting and murky water, the release states. Searchers used pumps from Brookings Municipal Utilities and Brookings County to remove about 300,000 gallons of water from the pond during the resumed search Friday morning
“Molu died, but I can’t say ‘was’ yet,” Mole said. “He’s my first child. He’s my only son. I don’t want to use the word ‘was.’ I can’t imagine him not living.”
I’m looking at gameplay of the canceled version of Resident Evil 2 that got leaked a few years ago and I forgot that they were going to have product placement with Pepsi
this is really fucking funny to me idk why
this is fucked up. somebody please desaturate the colors on the pepsi machine so it matches the surroundings
Saturate it more. Everyone needs to notice it.
you guys are killin me here
I dunno…
I think if I were playing i’d notice the zombie more than the pepsi. Desaturate the zombie or remove them from the game completely.
Just some advice from someone who took a class in marketing.
But now it looks like the person is running from the pepsi, and that’s not good for their brand
The person is pointing a gun at the product Fix it
This is such an important and genuinely terrifying post. I could completely go off on the rise of anti-science, but for now I’ll just add: it isn’t just boomers that get deceived. This is a warning to all of us.
Pay ATTENTION to what you are being told. If you think you cannot be deceived, you leave yourself open to deception. Question, doubt, research research research. Learn about your personal biases, dig up any subconscious cognitive dissonance. Keep an eye on your mind.
It needs to be stressed that biases, not a lack of intelligence, is very much the issue here. Being aware of the need to fact check yourself is key: Intelligence won’t protect you from bad or unhealthy mental states, or keep you safe from cults of any sort. Intelligence will just make it easier for you to rationalize and attempt to justify the malformed tools you’ve taken/been given to yourself and others. You need to be wise enough to challenge yourself.
As a cult survivor, this is lethally accurate.
Co-signed completely, and… this is why I put so much stock in emotion as a check on reason. It’s VERY VERY EASY to wind your intelligence around bullshit and not realize you’ve gone wrong because you think you have “answers” for every “bullshit objection.”

i’m supposed to feel bad for the military? i don’t
No ones saying you have to feel bad but respect would be nice…
But that’s just me.
i’m supposed to respect the military? i don’t
Going into Memorial Day weekend in the US, I’m gonna take a second to elaborate on why I’m not offended by this opinion as a twenty year military wife.
The military-industrial complex is a broken system. It’s bloated, redundant, and over-powered. It is a machine run by corporate talking heads. As a whole, the military takes in meat, chews it up and spits it out. It does. Not. Care.
So, no, don’t feel bad for the military. Hell, don’t respect it either.
All I ask, is that you recognize that the vast majority of the people that sign on the dotted line, have no clue what they are actually getting into. So many of them are solely doing it so that they can attend college without going into massive amounts of debt. They are going into the military to support families with “free” healthcare and a guaranteed paycheck. And then there are the few that do it because they have been led to believe that it’s a great thing to serve one’s country. And every single one of these types of people will be chewed up, and spit out different from how they went in. If they’re lucky, it won’t change much for them. But more often than not they’ll come out bitter, or depressed, or like my husband classified 100% disabled with PTSD and very little usable help from the equally broken VA health system.
And get back around to Memorial Day, there are the most unfortunate few. Those that died for a country that doesn’t even know what we are fighting for other than more profit, more money, more power.
Reblogging for the last comment
That last comment is exactly why I have so many negative feelings towards the military.
You can support soldiers while hating the military. I hate the military but support soldiers for exactly the reason above.
could u imagine if ppl talked about catholicism the same way they talked about like… indigenous ppl’s religions….
girl in horror movie holding a bible open: “according to legend, a mob tortured a half-man, half-god, and nailed him to a wooden cross, leaving him to starve to death. But days later, on this very night, they found he had clawed his way out of the grave. Now those who believe lie in wait for him to rise again, To honour him, they have weekly gatherings where they chant and sing, and at the end of it they eat his flesh and blood.”
girl’s friend: “wow.. thats so creepy…”
horror movie jock: “it’s only a myth, don’t worry”
on a related note at one point in college I said the term “biblical mythology” and my very catholic teacher got EXTREMELY OFFENDED and yelled “YOU MEAN THE BIBLE” at me, and then yelled it again when I repeated my words in an attempt to return to what I was saying
