Maybe I’m just a tool of the system or something, but informing to the FBI to prevent a Chinese dissident from being snatched by their former government (which is what I’m gathering he claims to have done) seems ok to me.

I really cannot remember how many decades ago I read it, but the Russians did test it or it was assumed they did. As they suggested the fertilized egg did not adhere to the placental wall due to the lack of gravity.

I seem to recall that at least one of the long-term astronaut voyages had a privacy screen where they could go and do whatever they want. There’s probably already been sex, just not with a partner.

Doable? Sure. Likely? No.

The freeze response is so much more common than people think it is. I feel like if you haven’t experienced it, you have no idea how powerful that urge is. When I was stuck in a freeze response, I literally felt trapped in my body. And I felt like if I moved, I might die. And those were the only thoughts my brain would…

Despite the NASA ban, I’d be surprised if it hadn’t already happened.

Thank you for bringing up that there is also “freeze”. “Freezing” is what likely saved the life of the young witness in this case.

“I’m way more concerned about the commander-in-chief and his decades long pay to play/influence family business schemes with his coke snorting prostitute lovin son.”

Yes, but it was the other roommate (Mortensen) not Funke. I don’t think the public has a full account of what Funke told police she did or did not see/hear that night.

Lol, no you aren’t. You don’t give two shits about corruption. You just don’t like the side you hate gets away with doing the same things. You don’t need to defend the actions of the elites, ya fuckin’ dweeb. They don’t know you exist.

These are BRIBES.

The Midwest has almost Winter, Winter, still Winter, and Construction for the 4 seasons.

Dawn is like the multi-tool of dish detergents. It’s used to remove oil from animals gently, it’s great at killing pests on plants (just mix some with water and spray on leaves), used to kill fleas on pets (use flea comb and drop fleas in water with Dawn, they’ll die), etc. 

Hooo boy I cry at the drop of a hat too, so totally with you on the survivor stuff. Scientology is so fascinating to me. They’ve been operating out there in the open for YEARS, but their intimidation tactics are insane. I love that movie The Master with Joaquin and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. I hope a few Scientologists…

I haven’t cried at any of the episodes of Cults and Extreme Beliefs. I teared up a little, but not actual cry. And I cry at everything. (I cried pretty much every time Leah cried in her show, not because she cried, but for the same reason she did.) There is an episod about the Children of God, though. (Rose McGowan…

There are two NXIVM shows. One focuses more on India Oxenburg (Seduced) and one focuses on two couples who got out while also including Catherine Oxenburg’s fight to get India out (The Vow.) I like The Vow better, but it goes more in depth. I watched it first, then Seduced and I think that’s a good order to watch them…

I still have to check out the NXIVM one!

She’s way more Leah on the podcast (there is apparently a drinking game based on how many times she says fuck.) They usually have one guess per episode (they did one with a survivor of Jonestown. That one was really interesting.)

After reading Underground, the very very good nonfiction Murakami book featuring interviews with cultists who perpetrated the Tokyo sarin gas subway attacks, the impression I got is that a lot of the people who get into cults aren’t exactly weak-minded. A lot of them just seemed dissatisfied with normal life, a…
