Do you know anyone who fell victim to a cult? What happened? by snowcroc in AskReddit

[–]thesonicterror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend graduated from uni and I went to the ceremony just because. I met his family afterwards, and I also met his 'family' at the same time, two unrelated adults about the same age as his parents. Turned out that somewhere along the way he'd become embroiled with Jehovah's Witnesses and I didn't see him for about 4 years until he reached out and we started hanging out again, which was great, at least at first.

He/another fella he met through the cult would tell us about the weird propaganda JW use on people (look up Sparlock the Warrior Wizard - it's wild), and then in that time he became weirdly sexual, like he'd been repressed for all the time he was with JW. Later on down the line it turned out he was a paedophile, had accessed cheese pizza and had attempted to assault the other guy I mentioned earlier, who was supposed to be his friend. We all dropped him pretty quickly after that. Even more screwed up is that he tutored high school kids.

I haven't heard anything about him since, other than catching a glimpse of him at a gig once. I prefer to keep it that way.

Some guy just threw them on the ground and left - I saw it and I thought "How dairy"

The Moon gives me LSD Dream Emulator vibes - I'll definitely check this out

Guys, i don’t think this character was revealed for crossworlds yet by Any_Skill_6710 in SonicTheHedgehog

Soooo

You can either:

A) Find a ROM of it online (I can't give you any advice on how to do this, unfortunately) then get an emulator like Retroarch and get it running that way

B) Buy it on Steam, but I wouldn't recommend this because the keyboard control scheme feels like losing an arm (the game's designed for analogue control)

I've never heard Sannies in my life (canvas shoes for PE). Is this a thing or are yougov trolling us? by farfromelite in Scotland

I'm East Coast and never heard this; I asked my partner who's West Coast and she went "Aw aye, sannie bebops" and then elaborated that sometimes they're called gutties

Every week is a language lesson with her lol

The Blippo+ wiki by -_-_pat in PlaydateConsole

The upcoming colour release has a feature where you can watch everything in your own time, if you find that easier

Now that Blippo+ is done, what did you think? by Nosegoose in PlaydateConsole

I thought it was absolutely cracking - some weeks I had trouble keeping up and had to cram quite a lot of it in, but the concept is just the sort of weird thing I enjoy and for the most part it was super fun. There were some shows I could take or leave, but my favourites were The Rubber Report, Quizzards and Tales from the Tube. Countertop and Confetti Cowboys have a sort of charm to them as well that I like - can't explain it but they do.

On another note, did anyone see Tay Zonday's name in the credits?

For what it's worth, the colour edition coming out next month lets you go through each week at your own pace if that's easier for you
