You should totally do a haunted house with it.  I have that pan and I would do that!  You could also do a Grey Gardens cake...

That’s my point, exactly, they stack so it shouldn’t be something to worry about.

Thank you!

I collect bundt cake pans and my husband occasionally notices that I hardly ever use them and accuses me of being a hoarder, as he did today, so I need to step up my game and start making things. Whatcha got for me, Jezzies?!

I’m not amazed at all.  He got his name in the papes, didn’t he?

Hell, anyone who comes in contact with that kind of windfall should consult an attorney and a CPA, that’s just common fucking sense.

These are not professionals, they are children who don’t even know how to manage their own money and should not be trusted with money belonging to someone else. That’s why I was saying that if they had a legitimate concern, they have legal options like trying to get a conservatorship put in place so that the money is…

And?

I really don’t care.  It’s his money.  He’s a grown-ass man who is not under a conservatorship.  If they want to put him under one, they can go through proper channels.

I tried to find it but couldn’t, any link?

Absolutely. And as another commentor has pointed out, he admitted to giving a lot of his money away to friends, which to me is just further evidence that he’s a good dude who is overwhelmed. It’s gross to insist that a man who has spent a lot of time on the streets immediately leave everything behind that he knows…

Drug users deserve a safe place to live, food to eat, and transportation as much as anyone else does.  I do hope he gets treatment for his illness, but even if he doesn’t, it’s his money to do whatever he likes with, including giving it to friends and doing drugs.

This is the problem with GoFundMe. It is a really shitty way to care for people, it is a complete crapshoot if your page will get attention and if it does, and you get a crazy amount of money, there’s no guidance on how it should be spent. Our society would be massively better off with Universal Basic Income,…

Good. You can’t just withhold money belonging to someone because you think you are a better caretaker for it. If the guy needs a guardian or conservator to care for his money, then they should have tried to apply for that through the courts.  I have zero sympathy for these assholes.

I want to be perfectly clear, I’m not defending Catholicism or any other religion/cult that hurts people. I’m merely stating that there are plenty of religions that exist that do not hurt people and are not cults and to call a cult a religion simply because a core tenet of its belief system is just as wacky as other…

Exactly.  I stopped going to my mom’s Episcopal church ages ago and the only result is a slightly sad mom.  

A church doing bad things because the people in the church are assholes is different than a church doing bad things because it is a core principle of the faith, although I agree that in practice, it isn’t much different.

Or just admit that you had absolutely nothing to do with your success and it’s entirely the result of outside forces like upbringing and blind luck.  But no, it’s because you prayed for it and are blessed.

Did you mean to post a TED Talk about poetry?

It isn’t beliefs which make an organization a cult, it’s practices. Believe whatever unsubstantiated nonsense you want, but the minute you start taking everything a person owns, alienating them from loved ones, kidnapping people, threatening people, you’re a fucking cult.  Scientology is a cult.  Look up the things…
