With 5G melting our brain, it's hard to imagine someone can still stay oblivious to what's going on around them. But they do. Whether they choose to disconnect themselves or not, there are people who live off the grid and seriously fall behind the world. To us strangers, the most interesting part of their detachment is probably its end. The sudden mind blow that sweeps across their entire perception of reality.

Damn. I wish there was somewhere she and people in a similar situation (like that former prisoner, for example) could ask for help

They had to bring his former commanding officer over to convince him the war was over. He did not believe people when they told him. He thought it was American tricks.

Poor guy :( They should keep prisoners informed at least about basic things in the outside world so they can prepare them. This is so infuriating

You'd probably always wonder if you somehow stumbled into an alternate dimension.

I'm hoping that the family were not there because of visitation restrictions due to covid, and nothing worse.

Same happened to a friend of mine: He had a heart attack on 20th of March 2020 and was put in a Coma to heal faster. Woke up a weak later when first lockdown hit Germany.

Sick of these covid coma/ jail/ camping stories. Life and loss of life existed before COVID. These are all fairy tales.

Someone posted asking if he was assassinated but got downvoted and removed their comment. Not everyone is familiar with US politics from the 1970’s, so others may have a similar question. Richard Nixon was not assassinated but resigned due to withholding information about individuals who were stealing political information from the other party. He knew he would likely be impeached, so he resigned instead. His name has come up frequently in the last four years as many drew a parallel between him and the 45th US President and the difference in how they handled similar charges. If this is interesting, check out information on Nixon and the Watergate scandal, but hopefully I saved some people from having to do a Google search.

Can you do that again for the Israel-Palestina war? Please? It's worth a shot (umm... pun not intended)

I remember I was at a meeting when 9/11 happened. I'm an English teacher in Europe, and this happened in literally my first month of teaching at a school with primarily Muslim kids. Let's just say that the first two weeks were mostly talking. The kids were incredibly scared that they'd be blamed ...

There are still a lot of people who believe that this attack was staged by BLM, Anti-fa and the democrats in a joined effort to give Trump a bad reputation. Which is ridiculous, Trump already had a bad reputation.

Not really a "LOL". They should have informed him before he left. The shock of it could send him spiraling back into whatever he was in rehab for.

Alphabet Soupy: not implausible at all. My mom didn't get out and she doesn't see/talk to anyone. For that matter, neither do I. We have no cable or satellite and use only streaming services. Sometimes news is a couple of weeks old before we finally get it.
