Doesn’t need to be a life or death situation, just any moment in your life where you found yourself saying “Holy shit, I can’t believe this is happening!”

    I found out that my dad had a secret girlfriend who was my age. A student of his. He also had a secret job, working as a consultant for Putin’s science advisor.

      I am sorry you had to find out about your dads secret life, I can’t imagine what that felt like.

      As for the Putin thing. I have so many questions.

        Without getting into traceable details, government science advisors often work with large universities so that’s where the connection is.
