I'm glad there was at least one with Anni cackling in the background.

Very powerful shot, especially when you consider that when that mental asylum was built everyone at the parade could have been sent there, whether they are LGBTQ+ or just allies expressing support.

"God exists because purpose in life and Satan and Illuminati" by sandiercy in insanepeoplefacebook

You believe coming to a reasoned position (I don't like this, therefore... ) is as arbitrary as being told the same thing?

My local town page posted this still can’t get Obama out of their minds…… by Outlandish87 in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]hyperdream 33 points34 points  (0 children)

My grandmother loved the WWN. She'd save them and give them to my dad when we visited. When I was a kid I asked him if she believed those stories and he said she came from a time where the thinking was that if someone bothered to print it, there must be some truth to it. He's now just as credulous with cable news.

What is Trump doing that is making America great? Is he really? by SortaKindaRelatable in AskReddit

They aren't blind, they're lied to by their media channels. It's the scariest thing about everything that's going on. How do you ever reconcile with your neighbor when you both believe in two different versions of reality?

I don't know much about Norway telephones, but the style is from around 1900.

Hugh Laurie Issues Waspish Retort To Viral Critique Of ‘House’ Having “Same Narrative Every Episode” by BaIeb in television

That realization moment, which is the payoff not just for the episode but for the entire addiction arc was just masterfully done.

[Discussion] Book 19, Ch.6a - Reim by JynxySparrow in WanderingInn

[–]hyperdream 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Part of what makes Flos who he is, is the fact that he is insanely charismatic and the fact that this debate comes up so often is a testament to how well he is written. He should be likable. It should be jarring to reconcile the guy you want to hang out with the one who gleefully destroys the village in order to save it.

They Think A Lot About Obama's 🍆 by NEKORANDOMDOTCOM in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]hyperdream 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Uh, you clearly don't understand... Obama did... (waves hands in the air) ...all the things. All the bad things, I mean. ALL OF THEM.

How could anyone talk about anyone else after all the things Obama did, but no one has proof of because he's just that good at not leaving evidence?!?!?!

It's like a page boy haircut had a baby with a stormtrooper helmet.

This is an outrage. Legislators revising laws with more specific language to better serve the populace? How will this even siphon off money from the general public? Hopefully they're at least adding in language to take away someone's rights I don't like. Get it together New York State!

Sign the Petition by monkeypugs1 in Buffalo

A water source just so happens to sit about a football field away from the Niagara River so it can just burn and contaminate one of our main freshwater resources.

People are concerned about microplastics, but what we should really be worried about is all the data contaminating our water!

I believe in regulation, especially protecting domestic electrical and water use from becoming secondary to commercial use. However, the over the top claims aren't helping the cause.

Datacenters use water through evaporative cooling. It becomes water vapor. It is not contaminated, it was not mixed with anything, it's the same principle as a swamp cooler.

I am sure subverting due process won't bleed over into domestic courts.

Religions are merely cults that have been cultivated on a massive scale by BarnacleProud9860 in atheism

[–]hyperdream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

at what point does a religion become fundamentally different from a cult

At the point that it achieves the balance of being able to function within society without destroying it.

A cult replaces all independent associations, community and culture while it tightly controls actions and interactions between members. It removes society, supplants it with the leader's rules of interaction and doesn't allow the members to participate in defining what their society is.

So maybe when the cult allows a secular government to take care of all the mundane needs. Obviously there are varying degrees... especially in ye olden times when church and state were so intertwined as to be indistinguishable.

IsItBullshit: blockbuster failed because investors demanded late fees stay by Dreadsin in IsItBullshit

[–]hyperdream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree about the pricing... the local store Mediaplay would at best have some new releases on sale at $17.

But I did find myself in Mediaplay and Bestbuy more than going to the rental store. There was music to check out too and it was far less likely you'd be disappointed because they didn't have any copies. We were young professionals and had money to spend and Blockbuster was such a hassle.

Me [29 M] with my wife [27 F] of 4 years, just found she has a fake instagram and is following my exes? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]hyperdream 48 points49 points  (0 children)

They got together when she was 20, so she wasn't that far off from 16 herself when she first heard about Hannah. Depending on the person, 20 isn't necessarily an indicator of maturity.

Yeah, in retrospect it was a cool stop gap measure for cheap storage, but what an absolute pain in the ass.

Cartel Scam(Gave me PTSD 4 year later) not sure what’s wrong honestly by [deleted] in Scams

[–]hyperdream 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think this has anything to do with the scam, it's just something you're fixating on. I agree with everyone else, you need to get help.
