That’s pretty cool I guess but he did try to kill V and is still taking over their brain lol
Also I’d get to be a woman (female V is superior) and that was genuinely euphoric to me so my egg may be cracking
Sad about the death part, but hey, tits. Pretty cool. I can get down with that.

- Comment on Flat earthers 1 day ago:
Do not underestimate a human’s ability to delude themselves or, more importantly in this case (in my opinion) buy into being part of a social group. Flat earthers have a pretty active social community going online and some people will absolutely buy into the things they say just to be a part of it. And this isn’t some ‘I’ll just pretend to so they’ll talk to me’ thing, they will convince themselves they’re true believers. The belief in a flat earth is often downwind from the belief in other conspiracies, things that may be pretty benign or just outright true (Tuskegee experiment, MKultra etc), putting Flat Earth on a path from the benign to the deeply harmful, like Pizzagate or raging antisemitism.
In all this, community is extremely important. If a person loses this access to the community, their beliefs may turn somewhat more mainstream. We see this with cults too, though I’m not saying Flat Earthers are a cult by any means.
Anyway, there are Flat Earth books, podcasts, YouTube channels, conferences, you name it. There’s a real dedication to showing everyone in the community just how much you bought into the thing. I think approaching this from the standpoint of ‘this is a personal failure for the one believer’ doesn’t provide us with any answers about the ‘why’ of it all, nor will it necessarily help anyone with leaving such a worldview.
Anyway. My two cents. The best way to make sure someone leaves a cult or a toxic worldview is to allow them to be part of communities that aren’t that cult or that worldview. The more insular you force them to be, the more insular they will become. Within reason of course and especially with cults, within what’s safe for everyone.

I don’t like fish. I have tried salmon, cod, tuna, sardines and a couple others MULTIPLE TIMES and my brains just refuse to accept any and all of it. I have tried it as a filet, in salads, on bread, with onions, with whatever else in all sorts of dishes
Doesn’t matter. Brains go ‘nope’. I’ll keep trying it I guess until my brains no longer try to convince me fish are literal poison.

Walmart is a deeply exploitative company that refuses to pay their workers a wage. Stealing from Walmart is ethically correct. Everyone should steal from Walmart. This is an actionable call to go out and shoplift from Walmart. Do it.
- Comment on Today is my 25th birthday 2 weeks ago:
There is only one way stop growing older I’m afraid
My grandma always said ‘getting old is fun. Being old is not.’ And ‘I guess it beats the alternative’ and a legendary ‘folks I’m getting old’ at the ripe old age of 98. My immediate response was ‘well that took you a while then’
Anyway, you’re 25, you’ll be fine, also happy birthday!

- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
‘You are beautiful’ is a normative statement about ‘beauty’ which is put on women as their ‘value’. You’re essentially saying ‘well she still has value because she is pretty’. And that’s exactly the kind of shit that leads to unhealthy coping strategies etc
Like, she doesn’t ‘have value’ because she’s ‘beautiful’. She just does. End of story. Putting this pressure on people, ‘good’ or ‘bad’ is still putting this pressure on people, what’s so hard to understand there.

My dad stopped smoking for a little bit to prepare for a big operation. After the op, he asked if we could wheel him into the smoking lounge at the hospital where he was recovering. So begrudgingly we wheeled him in there and with the most sincere shock while we rolled him in, he asked ‘wait is this what you always smell when people smoke? This stink?’
Yea, that’s what our house smells like. You smoke three packs a day in the same small room. What do you expect.
He died of a completely preventable form of cancer a year later. Kids, don’t fucking smoke. It ruins you and the ones you love.
