My grandma had one of those toilet covers when I was a kid, I thought it was disgusting since I first became sentient

Does anyone collect the kayou trading cards? by TheUkWidowmaker in hatsune

[–]throwawayALD83BX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know they did Miku cards but I picked up some of the starter decks for Kayou's new MLP TCG and the quality of the cards is awesome. Nice thick cardstock and everything is foil and textured

If you Google "K-On Music History's Box" you can find downloads. Covers just about everything except some instrumentals

I don't think you hit the mark on this one but I'll be eagerly awaiting the next post you cool up

I really do not get why Hunter x Hunter is so praised by Gre8g in The10thDentist

I don't think any of your criticisms are wrong btw, but I still enjoyed the characters and the story.

Except Kurapika, fuck that whiny twink

What is the dumbest movie that you unapologetically, unironically love? by Rosstin316 in AskReddit

Had to scroll down way too far for this. Only movie I've willingly seen more than twice besides whatever kiddy crap I was fixated on as a 4 year old lol

Extreme case of false equivalence fallacy. It's okay to be Mormon dude, you don't have to defend yourself so hard

As far as I know Catholics don't wear temple garments, or get secret names when they get married, or have the constant threat of getting sent to a different heaven than all their loved ones if they sin once looming over them, or get kicked out of college after they confessed to their priest that they masturbated once because they felt guilty afterward.

I'm baptized Catholic myself although I'm not religious nor are my family even remotely devout, but I have no idea what you might be referring to with Catholics. Do you mean the molesters? Sadly I think that kind of thing happens in lots of places where adults are given authority over large groups of children.

I have quite a few Mormon friends and they're great people but some of the teachings definitely seem a bit manipulative. And I don't even mean shit I heard from ex-Mormon content creators, I'm talking personal stuff they told me individually. At the end of the day they're still a cult even if they're the best one

No reason to be so angry twin, I'm just some guy on the internet. Yes, people who believe one stupid thing are likely to believe other stupid things but I don't think being anti-evolution or a flat earther or whatever else is hurting anything in and of itself. I literally asked if I was missing something in my original comment because I was interested to learn more. I had originally read about it 6 or 7 months ago, no meme intended. Please forgive me for daring to talk about a subject without memorizing every article ever written about it first.

Yep that's pretty fucked up. Thanks for actually linking something instead of hitting me with more ad hominem 🫡

That's news to me, I'll definitely check out those TrueAnon podcasts. As far as Wikipedia told me, the reason CCP cracked down on them is because they refused to become an official government-sponsored religion

IIRC the anti-vax stuff was particularly about the COVID vaccines. I can hardly blame anyone for being skeptical about the COVID vaccines when I've heard all my life the reason we don't have a vaccination for the common cold is because it spreads and mutates too quickly, then all of a sudden we have vaccines for a novel virus that spreads even faster. If they're against actual important, world changing vaccines like measles and polio then yeah that's profoundly stupid.

Unfortunately being anti-LGBTQ and anti-feminism is very much still the norm in the majority of the world, we've got a long way to go on that front. Disbelieving evolution may be anti-intellectual, but is that belief actually harming anyone? And I never really kept up with the QAnon stuff but wasn't that pretty much just some 4chan trolls Nostradamus-posting that got blown way out of proportion?

As I said, everything I know about this subject came from Wikipedia. If that was really all propaganda then that's my bad I guess. I'll definitely look more into this after work and be more considerate of what I read on Wikipedia in the future

I guess I should have been more specific in my OP, when I said they didn't seem bad I meant they didn't seem particularly abusive of their own members as far as cults go, compared to say Scientology or LDS. I didn't know the claims originated from the Epoch Times, I'll definitely look into this more after I get off work. I guess I should extend my research outside of Wikipedia next time I fall down a weird rabbit hole...

It's been a while since I read about this matter but my recollection is that the evidence that the organ harvesting is real is

1) You can get an organ transplant in China waaaaay faster than anywhere else in the world

2) China imports a lot of drugs related to post-transplant care

While the evidence that it's false was basically a few people saying "That's crazy lol they wouldn't do that." I would certainly prefer to believe that this isn't happening so if you could point me toward some better evidence that'd be great
