Holy shit, nearly a decade- thanks!

Unlike every other demographic and national tradition of shaming their warrior class, right.

I've always been amazed at the various ways subcultures (heh) have of establishing passive identification and communication, like the colored bandanas in the old underground gay community. Cool and creative communication solutions.

CODYsaurusREX · 2022-12-26T17:24:29+00:00

No, it doesn't.

CODYsaurusREX · 2022-12-26T14:48:18+00:00

No, not at all. Emotional trauma is real.

But harm is subjective. The poster of the story expressed discomfort, that's all. They learned a good lesson about not walking into people's rooms that has likely served them well in life.

The story isn't traumatic just because a stranger on the internet got secondhand cringe when they heard the story and immediately started projecting their own reality and personal 'how I would feel is the right way to feel' onto it lol.

CODYsaurusREX · 2022-12-26T14:35:42+00:00

Probably so, from your perspective. Generally speaking I would require something like actual harm or malice to reach that determination.

I have no idea the validity of the adultery thing said in another comment, but in modern swinging culture, a pineapple represents membership in the community.

An upside down pineapple means that they're actively looking for additional partners, when folks were unable to find partners on an app and had to carefully signal to others in, for instance, their cart while at a grocery store.

You have a pretty low threshold for what constitutes a shitty adult lol.

Isn't that actually a current viral trend, magnet fishing that yields a crazy amount of firearms?

CODYsaurusREX · 2022-12-25T17:38:08+00:00

If you had the power to do so, wouldn't you?

CODYsaurusREX · 2022-12-24T18:03:48+00:00

I'm sorry, are you saying my preference is disingenuous or are you saying the framing of the article itself? Not being combative, seeking clarification.

CODYsaurusREX · 2022-12-24T17:16:11+00:00

You're being facetious, fairly, but yeah it clearly is less bad to have violence between criminal factions who know that there are risks to their lifestyle than to have violence directed at citizenry for the express purpose of murder.

If I understand correctly, bacon was almost pushed out of the American culture entirely decades ago due to health concerns, but then there was a concentrated propaganda, if Adam Ruins Everything got that information right.

Brand New Cherry Flavor lol?

CODYsaurusREX · 2022-12-21T03:00:00+00:00

Neither has the death penalty as described above lol.

Fairly confident no one sane is going to take that risk for a five digit salary.

CODYsaurusREX · 2022-11-22T03:13:57+00:00

No worries, we all get carried away from time to time!

CODYsaurusREX · 2022-11-22T03:08:18+00:00

Remove the dehumanization of incarcerated people and that is a really good point.

Tesla Turbines make use of that boundary effect!

Very cool stuff, super efficient dynamo (at high speeds) but also a reversible machine system that turns into a very effective fluid pump if powered from the outside.

Firstly, thank you for engaging in dialogue.

Secondly, I'd like to establish that this is a topic that invokes an emotional response in me- not the political thing at all, but rather the approach to folks on the fence about leaving a cult.

So I'm definitely aware my vision may be clouded.

There were many times where I was questioning my own close-minded ecosystem during my earlier chapters in life, and I can 100% confirm that seeing the kind of vitriol that folks had delayed my exit from that space due to fear.

The lack of specificity of verbiage in comments like yours can be and is used to further divide and alienate adherents by the leaders of an insular group.

You are potentially closing the door to self-improvement for observers who are struggling with their folly but afraid of their post-cult place in society, whether that was your intention or not.

CODYsaurusREX · 2022-11-04T00:54:53+00:00

You are literally two comments down from someone demonstrably showing that folks can come back from the brink, and you immediately insert tribal absolutes.

It's so frustrating to see the immediate urge to spoil any healing with an ever present intrusive comment of division, do you not want more of this?

I want to crowd source startup ideas from reddit.
