The problem is that the line between cult and religion is so razor thin one can barely discern it with the naked eye.

This is the actual plot of the show? Why have we all fallen this far back? Between this Fuller House, 2000s boyband (now man-band) concerts, are we all ok?

My inexpert observation is that there is a certain “mid tier” level of fame which lends itself to more tangible infatuation than megastars.

“Eat the banana from the dancer’s vagina!”

The patron saint for us weird kids, back when it was not so cool to be quirky.

And we have her to thank for increasingly younger and younger women thinking they need fillers and cosmetic procedures. 

Does Kate’s color palette seem frequently wrong? Black and jewel tones are too harsh, while white washes her out. She looks so much better in saturated pastels. The baby blue above is almost too gray for her.

Right??? At what point did we all learn being “clean cut “and attending church does NOT make someone a non predator.

Absolutely. It’s very unusual for a serial murderer to be a wonderful person in other facets of his life. It’s always neighbors or more distant acquaintances who say but “he was the nicest guy!” The family members rarely say that.

I just thought of a possible outlier of war/military movies. They’re not my taste, but some are decent from a cinematic perspective. However, the best of these films always tend to lean anti-war or at least question it.

I was just thinking about why works of artistic expression from conservatives are usually so terrible. I think (most) conservatives lack the empathy and genuine interest in the quirks of humanity to make compelling art. It comes out so flat and dull.

“Good old boys raised up right”

Cripes. I foresee them forming some kind of bumbling volunteer Marshall service to track down those who cross state lines for an abortion.

I think a picture or two is ok at a concert.

I feel like something similar happened with those adult obstacle courses like Tough Mudder. It started as an innocuous, if slightly performative way to keep fit. Then the VCs got ahold of them and hyper capitalized on the whole experience.

Perhaps this was my mom’s own particular brand of New England Puritan/Catholic hybridism.

If the mere threat of incarceration prevented anything, we’d have nearly zero crime. It just doesn’t work like this.

This has some religious roots too, although it probably even predates organized Christianity.

The realism of that episode mesmerized me as well.

I am truly shocked it took this long. A man nearly nearly threw a haymaker at him right in court.
