Does anyone know how I need to format it so the boxes don’t look all messed up?
Okay, so I managed to find a reddit comment section from 12 years ago (don’t hate me) that seems to chalk it up as most likely untrue. Not sure if there’s much more evidence to be found one way or another
Did I discover a fake conspiracy theory?

For lack of a better term? I’m not sure what to call it. I started arguing with someone who was claiming you shouldn’t help people in public because it could get you into legal trouble. Without wanting to even get into the ethics of why you should help someone regardless, I brought up good Samaritan laws. This person brought up a guy in Illinois who was convicted as a sex offender for grabbing a girl by the arm and lecturing her for jumping in front of a car without looking both ways first. According to this person, holding someone underage, even for a moment, counts as imprisonment of a minor, and automatically gets you put on the sex offender registry for life. Now, that seemed fishy, but plausible in an awful sort of way, so I did some digging. I found several sources that mentioned this story, and learned the alleged man’s name is Fitzroy Barnaby, the incident occurred in 2001, he was convicted in Cook County in 2003, and it’s a cautionary tale against being a good Samaritan (ugh). But I cannot find any court documents, nor can I find any original sources. Every source references a since-deleted article by the “Chicago Sun Times”, and Barnaby isn’t even listed on the Illinois sex offender registry. Was this whole story just made up? Or have records been sealed and scrubbed or something?

Hey there! Hoping for some help. I’ve never really owned plants, but my best friend is moving out of state and gave me 6 plants she didn’t want to throw away. 4 of them are looking pretty rough. They are a ponytail palm, a monstera, a euphorbia Trigona, and mystery plant. They are all getting what I think is medium light? In my apartment, which has a north facing sliding glass door and windows, and they have all been being watered once a week. They also have been getting “miracle grow tropical house plant food” once a week, except for the euphorbia which has just been getting water. Any tips to try and save these lil guys? euphorbia [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/dd82ddb9-9bb9-4e57-b5b2-8ea670a96d2b.jpeg] Ponytail [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/3ee3d5be-e921-4a9e-bd99-692a648e9833.jpeg] Mystery [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/12bfd801-aa38-4c3e-9d22-a749e3f076e0.jpeg]
