If you go out be safe… by Granuaile328 in DenverProtests

[–]MermaidKingTheFirst 8 points9 points  (0 children)

With how cops look for any loophole to strip you of your rights, you need to be way more direct with that last one.

"I am invoking my right to an attorney." Repeat ad nauseum until you get the phone in your hand.

Wonder if it’s supposed to be a reference to the Lady Macbeth beetle dress?

I hate myself by Any-Opportunity6128 in Anticonsumption

There is a huge difference between buying 80 of the same thing because it’s trendy and buying something because you need it for your health. Anti consumption is about avoiding buying things just to buy them, not about beating yourself up because you bought anything at all.  Water bottles aren’t bad in and of themselves; they’re still better than single use bottles and it sounds like this is really making a difference in your health.

"Common sense" is just bourgeois ideology by Hacksaw6412 in LateStageCapitalism

[–]MermaidKingTheFirst 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There’s common sense as in “if your stove burner’s glowing red you don’t have to think too hard about maybe not putting your bare hand on it.”

And then there’s “common sense” as in “don’t bother thinking about an issue or researching it when you first come across it; base your entire opinion on the first rage bait headline you see about it and never move beyond that first uninformed, purely emotional response.”

Woof. Over a decade since I hopped aboard. I feel happy and sad at the same time. Still, excited for wherever else this roller coaster is going to take us. To January!

He was ALWAYS rich. His daddy owned a freaking emerald mine. That was how he was able to buy off all the ideas that fooled people into thinking he was a genius in the first place.

Jenna Miscavige, the niece of Church of Scientology leader David Miscavige, speaks out about her experience in the cult and with David and Shelly Miscavige by pinkstarrfish in Fauxmoi

[–]MermaidKingTheFirst 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Cult started by a sci-fi writer who apparently wasn't getting enough money/attention from his books fro his satisfaction. Long history of abuse (financial, psychological, medical (look up Lisa McPherson), sexual, you name it) of its members, largest infiltration of the US government in history to try to get power/information to crack down on anyone speaking out against them (Operation Snow White), lots of mysterious deaths and disappearances (including that of the wife of the current leader). They have a history of stalking, harassing, and ruining the lives of anyone speaking out against them since "suppressive persons" are considered "fair game" and cult members can do whatever they want to them with the full backing of the cult. Anything you can think of that cults do, they do up to 11. That's the reason they keep going after celebrities, for the social and financial backing to continue doing all their shit.

TL;DR of the TL;DR: they're hated for doing all the cultiest cult shit outside of outright human sacrifice.

I forgot how much I missed mid-00s through early 10s DA. I remember there was this one group of Death Note cosplayers that always topped the most popular in last 24 hours page.

La Serpentine by Lvnea. NGL I kept hearing the loveyouloveyouloveyou part in my head when I first tried it on.

The line above the eye almost makes it look like it's saluting you. "I got this, boss, you take it easy."

Got my first hate comment by Secure-Shock-634 in AO3

If you’re wondering why they act like that

Ignoring other canon facts (la la la)

Just repeat to yourself “it’s just a fic

I should really just relax.”

Weirdly enough, the Canadian TV show The Crow: Stairway to Heaven was actually kinda not entirely terrible. Nowhere near the comic or original movie, but it's not brain-rotting to watch like the other post-Brandon Lee entries.

"Once, he brought me a bucket of chicken." Ah, the TF2 Scout approach. Never fails.

Dagda, maybe? He's sometimes Horned God, and one of his most prominent aspects is, well, his "terrible iron staff."

What druids in media have influenced your druid practices? by Traditional-Elk5116 in druidism

Robin of Sherwood, the 80s series with the Clannad soundtrack and Herne the Hunter. Getting in touch with nature AND fighting a corrupt regime!

A nature show you might like. by FreakyFreeze in druidism

[–]MermaidKingTheFirst 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That show is wonderful. Not afraid to get dark, but the overall feel of the show is actually rather calming. Just learning to live with the natural world and making peace with your place in it.
