They may hallucinate but they’re less likely to lie for now. I can’t count the number of times I saw or heard some bullshit being told to customers to appease rather than help. And it irks me to no end every time I get a rep like that.

I don’t blame the workers. I blame the corporate bullshit that actively encourages it by dangling bonuses and taking away if a customer doesn’t feel that their issue was resolved. Call centers suck ass for both customers and employees.

How harrowing it is to hear someone a few cubicles away scream at one poor review by the end of the month that lost them a bonus for some bullshit that was out of their control after enduring so much abuse.

Weirdly enough, I don’t think the Salmonella would survive the soap and the egg whites would get emulsified, so it’s probably ok.

There’s egg white soap, so maybe? I think it’d work because of the protein.

Yep, science has churned out some whacky stuff before. But what? So you’re saying that the study of non-religious or coincidentally religious cults as a means to exploit and control is pure made-up nonsense? That’s kind of wild to me considering how characteristic and consistent their modus operandi is. MAGA fits the bill so well, for example, that I have a hard time believing they don’t exist. And I’d like to hear some opinions from people in the know, like Daniella Mestyanek from the link above, who you’re essentially saying her entire field of study is based on a lie.

Decry the image as racist if you must, but the number of straight-up selfies that plagued Google Maps in India just a year ago was hilarious and also interesting from a sociology pov.

I don’t think it’s a myth if it has become an area of study. Yes, words have different meanings like “theory” does in and out of academia, but the current understanding of the word is much more comprehensive than a small religion. And MAGA is most definitely a cult of personality that uses religion as a tool.

Cults are completely different from religion and size is not a defining factor. They’re more similar to a con and will sometimes use religion to exert control.

Knitting Cult Lady is great! She has a video outlining 7 defining characteristics of cults but I can’t find it.

Oh, weird, because their MAGA support is ruining other people’s lives as well but it doesn’t seem to cross their mind.

I’ve used a decompiler to peek at the source code of an app written in Visual Basic I wanted to recreate as a browser addon. It was mostly successful but some variable and function names were messed up.

Ahh, but there was money involved! See?

Crazy that the line is at sexual misconduct but undermining a democracy is ok.

My friend invited me to the park for a bike ride and brought a joint (legal). I was not expecting that but we had a blast!

My 99 sec gang where you at.

I’d go so far as to bar the consumption and sale!

Hi, I’m Carrie A. Nation, and in this essay and with this hatchet, I will…

How I wish that the West would have its own large scale disinfo campaign to give some of it back. Fuck Kremlin Russia.

Will there be a fight to reign in those powers legally in any way? Because it feels awfully convenient and lucrative for someone to win the presidency at all costs now.

the word you’re looking for is ruminate

I do! I can’t believe I used the wrong one, that’s embarrassing. Thanks for the tips and the correction!

I’d like to see him on his upcoming interview all well and rested and then we can compare.

I used to rummage ruminate often, meaning that many old conversations, arguments, and aggressions lingered in my mind for days and would upset me very much. I went to a psychologist and she was incredibly dismissive so I had to deal with that on my own because I felt ashamed to go anywhere else. Thankfully, I don’t have them anymore or as much as I used to.

Cognitive decline, probably at his age, but dementia? Says which medical professional? lol
