Y’all, I remain wholly convinced that “prayer time” is one of the best euphemisms for masturbation ever.

How much money does someone need before they start actually living? This is just ridiculous. If I had his level of money I damn sure would tske advantage of it. I have forgotten what sleep is much less leisure time. Working fulltime, taking care of a spouse who had a stroke and the unbelievably complicated maze of…

Did you do the Buzz Lightyear bumper cars? Easily my favorite thing of the park.

I’m only half way through the article, but it was 5 years between Dirty Computer and the other album!?

There are a lot of you in the Grey’s like, NAZIS ARE PEOPLE TOO!??! But here is the thing, bitch we know. It's y'all that can't come to grips with your shit. And to keep it all the way 100 these narratives Never help you reflect, they give you warm fuzzy feelings where you pretend you would have helped the Jews. You…

Or you could base it on something like this https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2018/05/27/555619978/what-happens-when-two-enemies-fall-in-love. Which was at least a true story (an African American nurse fell in love with a Nazi POW prisoner who was instantly attracted to her because he was an artistic type that…

It also has parallels to extant Shoah fiction:

You can get need-based deferments on making payments (e.g., you’re enrolled in a graduate program; you’re unemployed; etc.), but I’m not sure that defers your interest anymore.

Eh, my baby was cut out of my abdomen and I wasn’t present. Anesthesia sucks. For like, 12 hours, missing it was The Worst Thing Ever.

“DADDDDYYYYYY DIDNT GIVE ATTENTIOONNNNNNN”

one of my friends worked on one of those tv tattoo shows (ink master???) and was always trying to recruit us to get “free but maybe shitty tattoos”

I’ve only seen this show on The Joel McHale show and the tattoos they showed involved poop/anuses. There were only 2 “highlights” one centering a naked guy around the bellybutton, and the other having a naked girl take a dump.

Saw one of these on the tube the other day and it gave me a pleasant snort-laugh. Without a doubt, the fact that we view death as “hushhhhh so serious we can’t talk about it!” is the reason funeral costs are so high.

I work in the film industry, and I have been told that if I have a chance to work on a Tom Cruise film, to do so immediately. He treats everyone so well on his films that crewmembers will rave about him for years afterwards. Like, he knows everyone’s name, makes sure everyone gets a good hotel (which is super rare)…

My first summer job was a lesson in labor exploitation.

I had a roommate in college whose father was heavily involved in Scientology. She would roll her eyes at it and talk about how it was all a gimmick/scam and she had some pamphlets that she’d mock because ‘they start you out with stupid common sense stuff to lure you in.’ A year later, she spent spring break helping…

There was a time in my early twenties when I was profoundly depressed and aimless and overwhelmed, and desperate to find my place in the world, and I I would have been incredibly vulnerable to the right pitch. I feel like I’m a pretty cynical and sharp person, but I honestly wonder how what I would have done

This is exactly why I cross the sidewalk to avoid the Scientology guy when he’s outside their command-center handing out pamphlets.

does anyone else ever wonder if, had you come across a cult leader / recruiter, that you’d fall victim to them? like i like to think i’m level-headed and can see through bullshit, but i also know how vulnerable i’ve been through certain stages of my life — and i dunno, maybe they could’ve sold me on their stuff during…

A&E had a series about cults recently. They were featured. It talked to past cult members and went into the psychology of cults. It was disturbing how many of them include sex abuse.
