Finally!! This movie NEVER comes up but I absolutely love Peggy Sue Got Married (1986). Fucking classic and he’s great in it.

Okay he’s not the lead but he’s like the main co-star.

Love love love this movie

I think it is funny he salutes like he’s lost a war.

ITT: no cult scholars. I am not one either.

I watch a lot of Knitting Cult Lady’s content and I’ve read her book. From that I have a pretty good idea of what a cult is, which is an extreme form of group.

So I guess the opposite of a cult would be a solitary individual.

One point I keep seeing in these comments is religion. Religion isn’t a cult, it’s an idea. That ideology can be used by cults, but the idea itself isn’t a cult. You can believe the idea all by yourself you don’t HAVE to be part of the group.

Yes [insert religious group you’re thinking of] is probably a cult. But it isn’t one because of the idea, it’s one because of controlling behavior and exploited labor and a bunch of other reasons.

It was totally a thing during the satanic panic. There’s an infamous Chick Tract about d&d that I was genuinely given by cult missionaries when I was a kid.

I enjoyed it. And it has ended so you can binge the whole series if you want. I recommend watching the 2014 movie also titled What We Do In The Shadows first. It’s not required but there are some easter eggs and it gives you the vibe of the universe.

All of this happens to Nandor on What We Do In the Shadows, lol.

Piggy backing off this to point out that women disproportionately don’t have utilities in their name.

Oh no! Fossilesque I hope your research is safe.

Thank you. Misuse of decimate is one of my biggest peeves.

Tbh I’ve always wanted to find a pyritized fossil. So cool.
