as the interviewer said, these health conditions are not just because of two cousins having kids. There was something seriously wrong either during pregnancy, or in the food and water they've been consuming, to give them such serious mental issues.

I read somewhere that the people in this town really respect this family and won’t let anyone fuck with them. Even when this guy showed up he was given lots of shit and had to give them money and things to prove he meant no harm.

[u/Libukai]

Well so much respect for the Sister taking care of them all their life.

[u/dogchocolate]

On Ray, it's almost like he's associating primarily with the dogs.

The noises he makes are almost bark-like, and right at the end just taking a piss like that.

[u/RAMPAGINGINCOMPETENC]

This guy's videos are amazing.

Kinda sad that they received $30k in charity, but they had to use a bunch of the money on medical expenses. These people can’t even get basic healthcare?

For those who watched him, there was a huge following about Amanda. Here is the latest video but here are the rest (NSFW):

• first video
• second
• third
• fourth
• fifth
• sixth

I don't know of any better series that can talk about drug abuse and the harsh reality of the street. Amazing series though sad ending with her passing in her sleep in late Spring.

how much would someone have to pay you to wear that shirt for a day

[u/LOUDNOISES11]

Glad to see Zizek lost some weight.
