You Can See Everything is similar to F for Fake. Both are meta documentaries that involve themselves in what they're examining. But You Can See Everything uses its involvement to make fun of the documentary itself, and so becomes a mockumentary like Spinal Tap.

Of course, this could be my projection, so I get why people don't like it, but it at least gives you a lot to think about (potentially).

To be clear I'm talking about Christianity as it's become under the influence of Neoplatonism

[Mark Derian @joinanimus]

Demons aren't much fun if you think they're literally real. Likewise, no consistent Christian would ever celebrate Halloween.

[Chud More Correct @pleasemilf]

.@joinanimus has commented on this previously and agreed that horror movies would be sinful/bad if you are a Christian.

I agree even from a non-C standpoint. Why would you put slop like that into your mind? I don't allow it into my children's.

@SkilosRising The way I see it, any society that confuses giving with helping has a massive epistemological/emotional leak that will inevitably come at the expense of flying cars.

unpopular opinion: it actually is either/or

[Geoffrey Miller @gmiller]

@L0m3z It's OK to try to save the 600,000 people -- 75% of which are kids -- who are killed by malaria every year.

It's also OK to build starships and cool cars.

Not an either/or, and not a trade-off.

[Mark Derian @joinanimus]

@PV07525331 yup, dealing with whatever comes up when you're called a whore/fag can be very therapeutic

[Mark Derian @joinanimus]

That Shane Gillis joke wasn't even that funny. But now that everyone's getting upset about it, it's hilarious.

Family and business are going amazing and all but the big win of September was getting my Green Card!

In my first week of having permanent residence, I will be:

-Reporting my local convenience stores for SNAP fraud
-Buying more American flags
-Getting an AR
-Soliciting interviews so I can say "Why didn't they just try to come here legally, like I did?"

I love this country and hope I die here (in a long time).

God bless America!

[Mark Derian @joinanimus]

@pleasemilf Yup, you're right about that. The guy who's comfortable in his body doesn't go to DSA meetings.

[Mark Derian @joinanimus]

Striverism is conforming your values and personality to institutions of power; doing whatever you need to climb the ranks of whatever hierarchy is put in front of you. It's not much different from appeasing a king to get into his court. We used to call it careerism.

Now the chuds are conflating striverism with hard work, which shows you can't just be a chud. Unless you take the intellectual seriously you'll inadvertently be as un-American as any third-world striver.

[Mark Derian @joinanimus]

@pleasemilf I'm not sure what you mean by this.

[Mark Derian @joinanimus]

If you've been working out for 17 years and you still think the point is to look good, you've missed the point.

[B @BulkyBluff]

17 years of honest work. NO pump, NO filter. This is why people hop on gear.

I’ve beaten zelda, Metroid, and Mario 3 so I’m about ready for this flu to be over.

The hippies were smart enough to call it free love.

@chaoticIars thank you for not liking Star Wars

Guys sound like bitchy gay fashion designers when the judge the looks of a woman they've never met.

[Arthur Kwon Lee @badazn]

She is genuinely average looking when it comes to her facial proportions & physiognomy.

The majority of men are retarded monkeys so they see giant tits & rave about her like she’s the newest thing since sliced bread.

Now let’s compare her to actual 10/10’s.

Light years.

[Mark Derian @joinanimus]

I'm the kind of male chauvinist where it's okay to use "tits" as an adjective but only when your heart's in the right place.

[Mark Derian @joinanimus]

When you dump your political baggage onto children, they internalize it as "we're at war."

[Mark Derian @joinanimus]

It's forever hilarious that Michigan's pump-up song is about a wimp who distracts himself with positive thinking.

Everyone loves to talk about their big hit “I’m being cucked and don’t like it” but not enough talk is had about their other big hit “homie the streets is saying your bf is trans, you’re a chaser and everyone knows it” (somebody told me)

[Mark Derian @joinanimus]

@jordanticus Funny how saying someone has a commie-informed notion gets translated into calling them a commie. It says so much.
