Iβm not going to watch the Nathan Felder thing bc I hate anything where ppl are Put Into A Situation, but I saw someone say βoh my god heβs doing Synecdoche, New Yorkβ and thatβs explanation enough for me
@alotapeaches I worked with a waitress once who said she couldnβt try anything that had capers in it. When asked why she said βIβm allergic to seafoodβ. So youβre at least on the right track lol
Chiropractors are so funny. Just a guy whoβs job it is to go Psycho Mode on your spine. And people will be like βnooo he fixed my mild back pain. Also I canβt stop going bc if I miss even one weekly appointment Iβll be in worse pain than you can even imagineβ
@abbbsolutley My best definition for βcultβ is being grouped around a living charismatic figure who delivers revelation. But how long did Smith have to be dead before Mormonism switched from cult to religion? Has L. Ron been dead long enough that Scientology is religion now? Itβs so sticky!
@abbbsolutley Itβs *rly* difficult to define βreligionβ or βcultβ. Most intuitive aspects are also shared by major religions: isolates you from outsiders (Christianity, Islam), sometimes itβs Good to kill yourself (Islam, Buddhism), has a tiered system of hidden knowledge (Mormonism)
