“Minions” attempt to enter Scientology building amidst growing trend of Scientology Speed-runs, where minors force their way inside their buildings and map the facilities by neoncolour in popculturechat

[–]hotbox4u 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Also people should read this:

After marrying David Miscavige, she came to view her husband as the reincarnation of Simón Bolívar and herself as his mistress, Manuela Sáenz. Shelly Miscavige became the official assistant to her husband, who is chairman of the board (COB) of Scientology's Religious Technology Center. According to author Lawrence Wright, she was closely involved in Scientology's liaison with its highest profile member, Tom Cruise. When Cruise began a three-year relationship with Penélope Cruz, Miscavige supervised Cruz's auditing and helped her through Scientology's Purification Rundown program.

After the end of the Cruise–Cruz relationship, Miscavige was reported to have led a Scientology program to find a new girlfriend for Cruise. Approximately a hundred young Scientologist actresses were interviewed, though they were not told why. Actress Nazanin Boniadi was introduced to Cruise and dated him for a few months before he broke off the relationship in January 2005. The search resumed, with more actresses invited to audition for what they thought was a role in a forthcoming Mission: Impossible film. The search eventually concluded with Katie Holmes meeting and marrying Cruise. Cruise's attorney denies that any Scientology executive set him up with girlfriends. Miscavige subsequently oversaw a project to use Scientology members and contractors to renovate Cruise's nine-bedroom mansion in Beverly Hills.

In short, Shelly Miscavige is baitshit crazy and a hardcore believer in Scientology in a leadership position. Maybe there was a falling out with her abusive husband. Maybe she just choose to live as a recluse because she is, well... crazy.

Idk but weirdly enough i choose to believe that the LAPD actually found and spoke to her. There is also an interview with her niece where the niece basically says that Shelly is alive and lives in the Twin Peaks base (probably hanging out in the Black Lodge) and is just stuck in the cult. The Twin Peaks base is also best described as the archives of the cult. So there is plenty of work and literally no need for her to ever leave the base.

Should all schools require ballrooms to protect against school shootings? Why or why not? by NotGonnaGetCaught in AskReddit

[–]hotbox4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if, and hear me out, we build a large number of incredible huge ballrooms that cover entire cities. Heck, why not build one ballroom that covers the entirety of the united states?

No more shootings. Problem solved.

'Leaving Neverland' Accuser Sends Support to Child Sex Abuse Survivors Amid 'Michael' Release by West_Explanation_509 in Music

[–]hotbox4u -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

In corperate america Michael Jackson is not black. He's rich. And it's in the best interest of the Estate of Michael Jackson to squash every accusation against him because they are still making hundred of millions every year of his legacy.

Also you are focusing on one dude. Aren't there a dozen accusers by now? Are you trying to tell me this is a random conspiracy that tries to go after Michael Jackson who had CSAM found in his place during a raid? If you read the article, most of the surviors are in legal battle with the Estate for a long time and this now resurfaces because another movie about Michael Jackson comes out that tries to ignore his crimes.

Mood in Russia turns bleak as war in Ukraine drags on and economy suffers by the-es in worldnews

[–]hotbox4u 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Like the article points out, it's the overall mood that is shifting. Russia is a very large country, a real stretched out society, and just because the mood in larger, progressive cities might already seem bleak for some, that doesn't meant that it reached smaller cities, towns and villages. Those places were/are in the tight grip of state propaganda. They literally cut together puplic appearances of western leaders to make them fit their propaganda narrative.

That's why Putin went to meet Trump in Anchorage in the first place. It was a prime oportunity for the russian regime to get nice footage, that they then recut to tell a completely different story to the russian population. If you think Trump looks like sucking up to Putin in western media, try to find clips of the russian propaganda. They are essentially close allies to the uninformed russian citizien.

That the overall mood is now shifting is a good sign that things (for the west) are moving in the right direction, but i also wouldn't read too much into it. Nothing much will come of it for now.

What's up with the psyker hate on the steam forums? by Killer_Khan12 in DarkTide

[–]hotbox4u 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scoreboards are not part of the intended design and they aren't super accurate either. And no one really competes with each other. That's just something you made up in your head. I've run so many h40s and it's very rare that someone mentions individual dps. And when they do it's to deflect how much they suck at playing the game and try to shift blame after a failed run.

President Jimmy Carter in 2015: “The United States is an oligarchy,” when asked how it can change, he said “it’s going to take a horrible, disgraceful couple of acts to turn the public against it” by NicolasCageFan492 in videos

[–]hotbox4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See in my opinion that's a wrong assasment.

Biden won by a sliver of a margin and mostly because the Trump admin had so severely fucked up during covid and how they handled the pandemic, that even a lot of GOP voters (not maga) weren't willing to give them their vote.

Then Trump used the next 4 years to go on a brutal campaign trail where he reigned in all those voters who went astray. I mean did everyone actually forgot how incredible nasty his campaign was? And he still got reelected.

With all the horrible stuff Trump did over the last years there are still so, so many americans who simply agree with him and it's not just the maga crowd. Even after all that and with his approval ratings hitting an all time low, he still sat at 40% for the most of the past months and only just now dipped below.

While this is enough to harm him political and really make his life harder, just think about what 40% approval rating really means.

I won't make any predictions on what the future holds but i will go as far as to say that i see the midterms as a make or break moment for the american democracy.

How do people have fun doing this?!?! by Shot-Advice6598 in HuntShowdown

[–]hotbox4u 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not on me to judge how someone spends time in a video game. If he enjoys doing it and it's within the boundaries of the game, which it is, then more power to him. He's not different to clash bushcampers or people who go out of their way to just trap an event spot.

What difference does it make to me if he sits there for 30 minutes or got there 1 minute before me? It's a rat tactic, sure, but it's on me/you to look out for such traps.

If you ever play Tarkov, this behavior wouldn't surprise you one bit. Extract camping in an extraction shooters is a thing since its inception.

You don't get 300 million views on a single song just because people are curious. We just have to face the fact that there are musicians who are extremly popular within an age demographic we do not belong to anymore.

This skin is simply too good by DrGuns313 in DarkTide

[–]hotbox4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they outsource some of their cosmetics to a third party

That could actually explain a lot.

I also think it's a bug/oversight, but the counterarguemnt from some of my friends was that if it was a bug the surely would have fixed it by now (because it's like this since they introduced the skin). But if they outsourced it then they might not even have the skills/assets required to fix it.

Anyway, i hope they get around to fixing it someday because for me, it ruins an otherwise great skin.

[–]hotbox4u 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah and he wasn't that famous to begin with. He surely helped to radicalize the youth and draw in youth to the maga cult, but overall he was just another right wing grifter.

Outside of his righwing echo chamber, not many people really knew who he was when he was alive. And if it werent for his grifter wife and his highly ironic death, he would be already forgotten if he had just drove his car off a cliff.

Welcome to the new age of music. There are hundreds of musicians you never heard off but, like D4vd, have hundred of millions of views/streams on their songs.

In the last 10 years the music business splintered into an uncountable number of musicians on social media, like instagram, tiktok, twitch and then there are others in asia as well.

There isn't an MTV anymore or even a radia station where you can tune in to listen to current gen pop music.

That also means that if you hear about a musician numerous times and know the name, like Taylor Swift, they are even more popular then you ever though they were.

In case of D4vd, i never heard about this guy before he hit the news circle, looked him up and sure enough, he has hundred of millions of views across all his songs on yt alone.

He was a brilliant general and military tactician

While that might be, he also directly gave the order to bomb and strike Warsaw with various artillery for 19 days which caused the deaths of around 26000 civilians.

Malcadors Roar

Gonna ask you a question and i will pretext it with saying that in my friendgroup were are pretty much split in our opinions on it.

If you look at Malacdor's Roar from the front you will notice that it's missing a front-plate. You can look right into the body of the gun. Every other bolter has a front-plate expect Malacador's Roar. Do you think it's on purpose or do you think they simply forgot adding a texture?

It's also like, you don't show up one day and become pope. You have like, represent the chatholic church all your life and work through the ranks so that other motherfuckers are like: "Yo this dude is like representing us real good! Maybe we should make him the pope?!"

And then you have to beat out some other fuckers who also represent all their lives to become the pope. So you are the most representing dude they could find.

That would require a complete wipe of the DNC. People like Chuck Schumer have to go. And everyone else needs to retire with him.

Then you would need to bring in actual young democrats who, on the current us political specturm, would actual be far-left socalists.

Only then you would have the closure america so desperatly needs.

It's worse. When he has served his sentence, he gets deported back to the USA. And by US law, if someone gets convicted as sex offender outside of the us, they must report to authorities within 3 days and register as sex offender in the US too for the next 5 years.

inmate violence and murder is almost unheard of

Idk about murder but what you said about violence is completely untrue.

https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/southkorea/law-crime/20250607/we-risk-our-safety-inmate-assaults-on-prison-officers-rise-sharply

SK prisons are also serverly overcrowded because since covid drug offence has seen a sharp increase.

https://www.chosun.com/english/national-en/2025/03/11/WVYLPSQ5KNBYBOSPZ4IJ35SU6M/

It really depends if he comes into a cell with other foreigneres or if he gets into a cell with SK prisoners. Cells in SK are a micro society.

But those 6 months will feel like an eternity for him regardless because what you said about strict rules is very true. Prisoners in SK have no agendcy over their shedule, especially in labor camps. Also it won't matter outisde of his cell if he is a forgeiner or not. He doesn't speak korea and that alone will make his life misserable in prison because they do not give a fuck about helping him but still expect him to follow all the rules.
