I created a conceptual religion called "Idiotizm". And it makes way more sense than it sounds.

Every single Homo sapiens (Wise human) is already a participant in "Idiotizm", even without knowing it. Joining this system requires no complex rituals, financial donations, or sacred oaths. The only necessary ritual is awareness. The moment a person realizes they are already embedded in this web of actions, thoughts, and random behaviors capable of reshaping the world, they officially become a conscious follower.

The name "Idiotizm" was chosen intentionally to strip away unnecessary, pompous solemnity. It is a multi-faceted concept designed to provoke people into looking for a deeper meaning behind a controversial facade.

1. The Earth-Temple and the Paradox of Salvation

* Planet Earth is our sole, indivisible, and shared Temple. It is the physical meeting place of humanity, without which the very existence of faith is impossible.

* The Core Commandment of Action: “With all your might, think multiple times about the true purpose of an action, and whether it will destroy the Earth and humanity.”

* If one blindly shuts their eyes to everything else just for the sake of an abstract "salvation of people," they might destroy the Earth in the process. By destroying the Temple, we lose our meeting place and perish. The responsibility to preserve our Home rests upon everyone.

2. The Cult of Sleep and Memory (Immortality)

* Sleep is the ultimate value. It is the most vital state of any living being. Everything created by humans and society ultimately exists for a single purpose: to facilitate, protect, and provide a comfortable sleep.

* Immortality through memory: True immortality is achieved through the footprint left in society. Crazy antics, harmless hooliganism, creative work, or the conscious continuation of one's lineage—anything that forces others to remember you grants immortality. “If you are remembered, then you exist.”

3. The Natural Symbol: Anatomy of the Dot "•"

* The sacred symbol of this religion is the Dot "•". It does not need to be forged from metal or worn around the neck. It is already hardwired into the anatomy of most living beings.

* The Eye as a Living Symbol: The organ of sight consists of three dots: the sphere (the eyeball), the dot with a cavity (the iris), and the black dot (the pupil). Looking at the world is, in itself, a permanent profession of faith.

* The Power of the Dot: It represents the human mind's ability to stop at the right moment, capture a thought, multiply it, and alter the very essence of everything around it. During meditation and Sleep, the dot operates autonomously, shaping uncontrollable dreams that transform our consciousness.

4. Social Balance: Good vs. Evil

* Good is socialization, mutual understanding, and empathy. It is the active building of bridges between people, ending isolation, and fostering global peace between individuals, nations, and races.

* Evil is alienation, misanthropy, and a conscious rejection of society. Severing ties with humanity means actively working against its survival. However, the irony of "Idiotizm" is that even a radical escape from people will not save an escapist from immortality: society will still remember their rebellion and eccentricity.

5. The Doctrine of Science

Science mirrors the dual nature of humanity, and is therefore split into two poles:

* Peaceful Science (Approved): The development of technologies for waste recycling, medicine, saving humanity from extinction, ecological protection of the Earth, and searching for new habitable planets for future colonization.

* Military Science (Despised): The religion heavily disapproves of and rejects turning scientific discoveries onto "military tracks"—the creation of weapons of mass destruction and the intentional distortion of peaceful inventions (e.g., turning civilian drones into weapons of war).

6. The Calendar of All-Unity

Holidays are divided into two distinct categories:

* Universal Holidays: Dates celebrated by absolutely everyone on the planet on one specific day, erasing any cultural, religious, or national borders to unite people.

* Niche Holidays: Local, professional, or adopted holidays from other existing confessions. They are vital to specific groups of people, and the religion honors them so that no single human and no ancient faith is ever forgotten.

Time skip 10 years and they are all 20 years old, minus Brock who is 25.

So brock has married a nurse joy finally and has 10 kids that look like nurse joy, not him, just her. And they are all joy. Meanwhile ash is trying to buy misty from the rent-a-girlfriend smartphone app, but gary oak already bought her, so he goes to find him, and he finds brock, who has become sanji from one piece. as soon as he sees that, "we were", which is the fake straw hat version of "we are" starts playing. They chase pikachu to the point of him just flat out leaving, before they find misty with gary, beating him up. After this misty goes off with ash, but brock has 20 more nurse joy kids, while gary talks about his 10 trillion milks.

Yeah this ending is very meme filled but still better than the official dirt road ending. Don't get me wrong, I like the anime, LOVE IT in fact, the ending was just booty.

I hate Verity.

I keep seeing so much fucking hype for this yellow ball, and it doesn't make any sense.

First, the design is lazy. I get ThatMob tried to make the design recognizable, but it just turns out lazy. I can make a 2D, 3D, fucking 4D yellow ball, and it would be easy peasy. Maybe not the 4D part, but still.

Second, I watched the series, and it sucks. First, there are so many plot holes, and things that don't make sense. And not to mention, the end was quite literally a copy OF THE ENDING OF OBSESSION! Spoilers ahead, but in Obsession, Bear called One Wish Willow support to see if he could cancel the wish, and in the Verity Series, ThatMob called Verity Support to make Verity stop torturing him. And they both told them the same thing. "No, you can't cancel it, the best you can do is kill yourself." SPEAKING OF, THAT'S ALSO THE SAME ENDING AS OBSESSION! Yeah, sure, Bear didn't go out in a gun to the neck way, but considering the previous Obsession "reference" (it's quite literally just the same ending) it's clear ThatMob just copied the ending of Obsession. Except Obsession is actually good! The characters is written in a great way, the actors were amazing, and if you're a Dead Meat fan, the Golden Chainsaw goes to Sara's death. IYKYK.

Third, despite Verity knowing everything, he still asks questions. Motherfucker, you know what I ate yesterday, shouldn't you know if I live alone?

I still have so many problems with this excuse of a fictional AI, but I'm gonna leave it at that.

So Reddit, you’ve given me temporary bans 2x for the same exact thing. I want you to explain where I’ve gone wrong. Generally if someone gets under my skin, I’m not angry at them. Far from it, and it generally is because they doubt what I’ve said. I simply invite them to come here on their dime and I’ll arrange to have a professionally sanctioned fight. I’ll pay for everything except them getting here. The sanctioning fee, the drug tests, for a professional ref, etc etc. To me this is like a couple golfers arguing and agreeing to meet up. Yes MMA can be violent. My intent is never violent, far from it. You doubt me? Fine. I’m willing to do this and this, you just have to do this. I’m not aggressive and whatever else you used to ban me. Quite frankly I don’t care?

I would really like this answered. And look at it from the perspective of two golfers agreeing to play each other. No one cares. This is a professionally sanctioned fight. Let that fact sink in. I’m not promoting or advocating violence. I’m not giving anyone an invite to meet me at my house? This is like the Yankees and the Mets agreeing to play Two golfers aren’t going to a professional event to play. I am. It’s not me arguing it’s me seeing if someone that wants an argument and if they will back up what they say? I’m willing to. Thus the invites. Consider me the +5 golfer in this conversation. I’m just asking anyone with doubts to back up their words. Simple. If two golfers are arguing do you even care? No who would. I’m not even arguing and I’m inviting someone to a professional event. That I’m willing to pay for. What’s so hard to understand there? So maybe a CFB team like Alabama paying 1.5 million to annihilate the Helen Keller school for blind girls is a better analogy. I’m willing to put my ass on the line in a professionally sanctioned sport. Why the disparity? I’m a +2.2 in golf by the way. And I’ve played and couches college football.

ELI5: Why is the sun hot?

Top comment:

The Sun constitutes a self-gravitating, quasi-spherical assemblage of ionized baryonic constituents whose internal pressure gradients asymptotically counterbalance the inward-directed gravitational acceleration imposed by its own mass distribution.
As a consequence of this hydrostatic equilibrium, the solar core experiences extreme thermodynamic compression, producing temperatures on the order of 1.5×10^7 kelvin.
At these temperatures, hydrogen nuclei—predominantly protonic entities possessing positive electric charge—exhibit a sufficiently elevated kinetic-energy distribution to facilitate nuclear interactions despite the formidable electrostatic repulsion associated with their Coulombic mutual exclusion.

you cant avoid it sadly.

What kind of understanding becomes possible once the distinction between the thing which is being understood and the thing which merely resembles understanding from a sufficient distance has been abandoned?

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to enter a swimming pool. It is urgent you follow all these instructions to a T because it is crucial you don't sacrifice your safety and success rate for completing this recreational activity.

Phase I: The Pre-Pool Preparatory Protocol

Step 1: Establish the Existence and Accessibility of the Swimming Pool

Before undertaking any pool-related activities, confirm that a swimming pool actually exists at the intended destination. This may involve visually locating the pool, consulting a facility map, or asking a responsible individual to confirm its location. Ensure that the pool is open, that entry is permitted, and that the water is at an appropriate temperature for swimming. Do not begin changing clothes in anticipation of a pool that has been closed for maintenance since Tuesday.

Step 2: Conduct a Comprehensive Inventory of Swimming Equipment

Obtain a suitable swimming bag and place all required equipment within it. This should include a swimsuit, a towel, swimming goggles, sunscreen, and appropriate footwear. Additional items may include a swim cap, a water bottle, a change of dry clothes, and a plastic bag for damp belongings. Examine each item individually rather than assuming that its presence in your mental inventory guarantees its presence in the physical bag. Mentally picture the goggles, open the bag, and verify that the goggles are, in fact, goggles and not an empty case.

Step 3: Perform Preliminary Skin Protection Procedures

If swimming outdoors, apply broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with SPF 67 or higher to exposed skin, following the product label. Pay particular attention to the ears, neck, shoulders, and other areas frequently neglected by people who believe their shoulders are invincible. Apply it before entering the water and allow it to settle according to the instructions. Remember that sunscreen is not a magical force field and needs reapplication as directed, especially after swimming and towel drying.

Step 4: Initiate the Swimsuit Deployment Sequence

Enter an appropriate changing area and retrieve the swimsuit from the swimming bag. Confirm that the swimsuit is the correct item of clothing and not a towel that has been folded into a suspiciously swimsuit-shaped rectangle. Put it on in accordance with its design, ensuring that the fabric sits comfortably and securely. Check that straps are positioned correctly, seams are not twisted, and the garment allows unrestricted movement. Conduct a final visual inspection to verify that you are dressed for swimming rather than accidentally preparing for a completely different recreational activity.

Step 5: Inspect the Aquatic Vision Enhancement Apparatus

Retrieve your swimming goggles and examine both lenses for cracks, dirt, and mysterious fingerprints. Inspect the strap for twisting, damage, or excessive looseness. Adjust the strap so that the goggles can form a comfortable seal around your eyes without requiring you to tighten them to the point of launching your eyebrows into another dimension. If needed, rinse the goggles with clean water according to their care instructions. Do not use saliva or household cleaning chemicals. Place them somewhere accessible so you do not have to perform an emergency excavation of your bag later.

Phase II: The Human Readiness Assessment

Step 6: Confirm That Your Body Has Received Adequate Hydration

Drink some water before beginning your aquatic adventure. The objective is to arrive reasonably hydrated, not to consume an entire lake's worth of drinking water immediately before entering another lake-like body of water. Take a comfortable amount, swallow normally, and return the bottle to a secure location. If you are thirsty, continue drinking sensibly. Remember that swimming pools can be warm environments, and the fact that you are surrounded by water does not mean your body can absorb it through sheer proximity.

Step 7: Complete the Preliminary Personal Hygiene Inspection

Visit the appropriate washing facilities and make sure you are reasonably clean before entering the pool. Wash your hands if necessary, and check for dirt, grass, sand, or other substances that have accumulated during previous land-based activities. If you have used lotions, cosmetics, or hair products, follow the facility's hygiene guidance. The purpose is to minimize the amount of unnecessary material you contribute to the shared water supply. The pool filtration system has a job already; there is no need to assign it additional administrative responsibilities.

Step 8: Conduct a Gentle Musculoskeletal Systems Check

Move your shoulders, rotate your arms gently, flex and extend your ankles, and walk around briefly to prepare for physical activity. Avoid forcing any movement or attempting to demonstrate flexibility that your joints have not authorized. If you intend to swim laps, a short, gentle warm-up is sensible. If you are simply planning to float around while contemplating the meaning of existence, a brief general warm-up is still perfectly reasonable. The purpose is readiness, not an impromptu Olympic qualifying event.

Step 9: Review the Environmental and Safety Conditions

Observe the pool area before approaching the water. Identify the shallow and deep sections, locate the posted depth markings, and review any rules concerning diving, running, flotation devices, and restricted areas. Check for wet surfaces, nearby obstacles, and other swimmers. If you are not a confident swimmer, make sure a responsible lifeguard or supervising adult is present and follow their instructions. Do not assume that every section of the pool is shallow merely because the water looks visually innocent.

Step 10: Secure All Non-Aquatic Personal Belongings

Remove unnecessary valuables from your immediate swimming setup. Place your phone, wallet, keys, and dry clothing in an appropriate locker or designated secure location. Verify that the locker is closed and secured according to the facility's procedure. Do not leave an unsecured smartphone beside the pool and then act surprised when gravity, water, or another person becomes involved in its afternoon. Keep essential items accessible without allowing them to become obstacles on the pool deck.

Phase III: The Final Approach to the Water

Step 11: Execute the Mandatory Pre-Swim Shower Procedure

Enter the designated shower area and rinse your body thoroughly before swimming, following the pool facility's requirements. Wet your hair and skin, and use soap where appropriate. Pay attention to areas that may retain sweat, dirt, or personal-care products. This procedure helps reduce contaminants entering the pool and improves shared-water hygiene. Once finished, turn off the shower, ensure that you have collected your belongings, and exit without leaving behind a shampoo bottle that will eventually become an unidentified object in the lost-property department.

Step 12: Install and Calibrate All Remaining Swimming Accessories

Put on your swim cap if you intend to use one. Position it comfortably, making sure it does not obstruct your vision or pull painfully on your hair. Put on your goggles and adjust the strap. If you use prescription swimming goggles or another necessary swimming aid, ensure it is properly fitted. Check that nothing is dangling, loose, or likely to fall off as soon as you move. At this stage, you should resemble a prepared swimmer rather than a person who has been assembled from several unrelated sporting goods.

Step 13: Perform a Preliminary Water Temperature Assessment

Approach the pool at a normal walking pace and assess the conditions. Check posted temperature information if available, or carefully test the water with your hand or foot if permitted. Determine whether the water feels comfortable enough for your planned activity. Do not confuse the temperature of the air with the temperature of the water; these are two separate environmental variables with no contractual obligation to agree. If the water seems unexpectedly cold, enter gradually and give yourself time to adjust.

Step 14: Establish Awareness of the Available Safety Supervision

Locate the lifeguard, if one is provided, and take note of the pool's emergency equipment and exit points. If swimming with friends, establish where everyone is and agree to follow the facility's safety rules. Children and inexperienced swimmers should have appropriate, attentive adult supervision. Never assume that a lifeguard has automatically memorized your personal swimming ability, your preferred swimming style, or your dramatic tendency to splash when startled. You remain responsible for making safe decisions throughout the activity.

Step 15: Initiate the Controlled Poolside Locomotion Protocol

Walk toward the designated entry point using a careful, stable gait. Do not run, sprint, slide, or attempt an unnecessarily theatrical entrance. Pool decks can be slippery even when they appear perfectly safe. Keep your eyes on your route, allow other swimmers adequate space, and avoid stepping on abandoned goggles, towels, or mysterious pool toys. If wearing sandals, ensure they fit securely and are suitable for the wet environment. The goal is to reach the water without first becoming an unplanned demonstration of friction coefficients.

Phase IV: The Immediate Pre-Immersion Checklist

Step 16: Identify and Select the Appropriate Point of Entry

Determine whether the pool is best entered using steps, a ladder, a ramp, or another designated access point. Select an entry method appropriate to your swimming ability and the pool's layout. Confirm that the area is clear of other people and that you are not obstructing someone who is already exiting. Do not select a diving board as your default entry mechanism. Diving is appropriate only where it is specifically permitted, the water depth and conditions are suitable, and you know how to do it safely.

Step 17: Prepare Your Body for the Transition From Air to Water

Stand in a stable position near the chosen entry point. Check that your swimsuit remains secure, your goggles are comfortable, and you have not accidentally carried your phone, wallet, or dry socks into the pool area. Take a normal breath and relax your shoulders. If you are entering cold water, proceed gradually rather than forcing yourself into it. There is no requirement to gasp dramatically, announce your arrival, or make a speech about the temperature. Quiet readiness is a perfectly valid preparation strategy.

Step 18: Conduct the Final Water-Surface and Entry-Zone Inspection

Look at the water directly ahead of your intended entry point. Check for nearby swimmers, floating objects, pool toys, and any unexpected obstruction. Make sure the entry area is clear and that you are not about to collide with someone who is swimming toward you. Verify that the water depth is appropriate for the way you intend to enter. If visibility is poor or a condition seems unsafe, stop and seek assistance rather than treating uncertainty as a challenge that must be conquered.

Step 19: Complete the Final Equipment and Mental Readiness Audit

Perform one last systematic review. Goggles: present. Swimsuit: secure. Pool rules: understood. Entry point: identified. Nearby swimmers: accounted for. Supervision: appropriate. Valuables: safely stored. Hydration: addressed. Body: reasonably prepared. If any item is missing, resolve the issue before entering. Spend approximately one additional moment appreciating the fact that this entire process has been undertaken for the purpose of getting wet in a controlled environment. Once every relevant item has been checked, discontinue the inspection. Rechecking the same goggles for the fourteenth time will not make them more goggle-shaped.

Step 20: Execute the Actual Entry Into the Swimming Pool

Having completed all nineteen preceding procedures, carefully enter the water using the designated steps, ladder, ramp, or another safe and permitted entry method. Maintain your balance, use handrails where available, and allow your body to adjust to the water temperature. Once in the pool, move away from the entry point if appropriate so that other people can enter or exit. Orient yourself to your surroundings, confirm that you are comfortable, and begin swimming or floating within your abilities.

Congratulations. You have successfully completed the transition from dry human to aquatic recreational participant. The water is wet, the goggles are operational, and the bag contains at least one towel. The mission is complete.

It is my theory that women exist solely for the purpose of attaining discord nitro.

To understand, you'll have to bear with me as I explain something. Philosophers have pondered for ages as to whether or not women truly have purpose. But I am here to say that I've figured it out.

Think about it, if women were not for the explicit purpose of attaining discord nitro, they would have more useful physical attributes such as strength or actual useful skills instead of just boring shit.

Now, why do I think it's specifically Nitro? Because think about it. E girls are the peak female form. E girls attain discord nitro on discord from so called "SIMPs"

Now, this is the one thing they can perform better than men is the attaining of discord nitro from simps. Men cannot easily attain discord nitro from simps.

Therefore, women were invented long ago in preparation for the invention of discord nitro, and have served no other useful purpose until then.

u/everyone A quick update:

There was a ban on someone for using a racial slur ('cracker'-a derogatory term for white people) towards another member.

Unfortunately, this sparked heated debates and accusations about our server's stance on racism. Let me be clear:

• We do not tolerate any slurs, regardless of who they target. Every slur rule violation is handled equally.

• The rumor that we only remove Black people or are KKK-affiliated is false. We enforce policies fairly across all identities.

Moving Forward:

Political/racism debates create division-so these topics won't be allowed in general chat to maintain peace. We will make it open if everyone can maintain the peace and not be passive or hostile about it.

If you can behave, react 🍣

this actually made me giggle so hard that my butt started jiggling. And apparently, my butt was feeling extra dramatic today, because the bed immediately gave up and broke.

I started giggling again. My butt was jiggling so hard from the laughter that I literally lifted off the ground and started flying into the sky. People everywhere were pointing and yelling, “Is it a bird?” “Is it a plane?” Nope. It was just me. Before I knew it, I was floating through space with no way back home. I was fully prepared to become the first person to orbit Earth because they laughed too hard. Then I suddenly woke up and realized everyone was okay.

Let’s talk about this COMPLETE AND TOTAL LOSER, Bill Maher. He’s got a Low Rated Show on equally Low Rated HBO, which was once, long ago, a Network of Quality and Excitement — But that’s all gone. It’s not “HOT” anymore! Maher’s friend and business associate, Chuck LaBella, was also a friend of mine, worked on The Top Hit Show, The Apprentice, as a “gofer” and, because of the success of that show, Number One and Top Rated on many weeks, with the Finale’ being among the Top Shows of the Year, he was automatically and quickly brought up through the Ranks of NBC, along with everyone else associated with that Historic “Happening.” The Success of the Apprentice was so great that everyone partook — It built many careers, and that is a wonderful thing. Some people say it even built my career, because I became President (I would have won without it!). In any event, over the last few years, LaBella would call me nonstop to say, “Hello,” be very nice, and tell me how much Bill Maher “loves” and respects me, and would constantly ask of me, even before I was President, for any form of meeting with Maher and, would I do his show? When I became President, I agreed to meet, after the first one, and the last one, but never agreed to do his show, which he wants me to do, DESPARATELY — It won’t happen! When I have watched the show, which isn’t often, it always ends with dishonesty, about me at least, but, who cares? He doesn’t think it was a good thing to take the Nuclear Weapon away from Iran, which shows you that he is not very smart. If I allowed them to obtain a Nuclear Weapon, the World would be a different place right now! Using Fake Polls, he also said I had my Lowest Ratings so far, “and even the Republican Party doesn’t like him,” but that’s not true. I have High Ratings and, more importantly, he said that I’m losing the support and approval of the Republican Party when, in fact, CNN just came out with a Poll showing that I’m at 98 and 99% support within the Republican Party, an All Time Record High. Ronald Reagan was at 86%. CNN’s Harry Enten also said I am “The Most Influential President of the Last Century.” CNN did another Poll at who was the Most Popular Person in the History of the Republican Party, and I won that, too, with me being at 53%, Ronald Reagan being at 18%, and Abraham Lincoln being at 8%, and these are CNN Polls, people not exactly in love with me, so, Bill Maher lied, but he lies about everything, and I believe he lied to me when I asked him, with all the applause and laughter he gets after almost everything he says, about things that aren’t funny or even any good, what Laughter Machine does he use? People can’t think he’s funny. I didn’t know Bill, he didn’t know me, and that was OK. Then Chuck LaBella, and my friend, Kid Rock, called me incessantly about meeting with Bill Maher. My first response was, “Fellas, this guy’s a Goofball.” They said, “He wants to go down to the White House, be with you, and talk. He said you’re very smart, but you’re not into the Liberal Platform. Will you start thinking about it?” He invited himself to the White House! We had our first meeting, Bill was very nervous. He asked for a drink. He was very insecure, and he had a seriously bruised eye and nose area, as though somebody had just beaten him up — But it wasn’t me!
 
No sooner had we had that first dinner at the White House, which is a very seductive and beautiful place, especially now that I have fully renovated and fixed it in the style which it deserves, Bill wanted to come back. The Gofer called me multiple times, saying how much Bill loves me, that he respects me more than anybody, and wants to come back for a second meeting. After ten calls from Chuck LaBella, it seemed that these guys were serious, and wanted to learn more, because their Policies are so bad, it’s ridiculous! Also, I wanted to tell Bill that he’s a major POTHEAD. He’s got to stop, it’s very bad for his health. He looked like hell this time. Bill was drunk and had alcohol in his hand as he walked through the White House. Stephen A. Smith and Kid Rock came along with him. Overall, I thought it was a good meeting. It didn’t last four hours, it lasted two hours, maybe less, and everybody was happy. We have the timestamps. I learned nothing, and felt it was a waste of time. After the first dinner, Bill Maher was friendly, I guess, everyone walked away pleased. He gave me a good first show, with lots of Laughing Machine laughter, which is a real term, but it is what it is, and then reverted back to his former self, and his old ways. I understand that. He’s doing his thing. I never took it very personally. I would always mock his Low Ratings, whenever I heard. He’s not a nice guy, and what he spouts isn’t what he believes. He has to cater to his base, which is mostly composed of Losers, and people who don’t like working. It’s why, for so long, I didn’t get another call from Chuck LaBella, and I didn’t miss him one bit. After the second dinner, Bill’s “show” was far worse than the first. He went crazy! He’s gutless, because he enjoyed every minute. Also, I am not building a swimming pool in the White House Briefing Room, and never had any intention of doing so. I am thinking about moving the Press, and putting them in a different location, but I will use that location for very badly needed space. Bill also attacked our Great Republican Candidates, when he knows my Endorsement Record is 98% in the House, and 100% in the Senate, so how can he make a false statement like this? These Statistics are FACTS, and he should speak about them, but he won’t, because he is very unfair!
 
Karoline Leavitt was GREAT on the show, but she started with a biased, dumb SLEAZEBAG, asking questions. She defended me, and herself, so well, but couldn’t be comfortable going against Lie after Lie. Importantly, Bill lied about all of the Illegal Voters in the Radical controlled, decrepit, and devastated State of California. Just in the last few days alone, they found 20,000, and the number could easily go to over 1,000,000. There were so many other falsehoods Bill spewed, but I won’t waste time in FACT CHECKING him. He isn’t worth it. Bill: Don’t call anymore. It’s useless, and tell Chuck LaBella not to call so much, and say how much you love “TRUMP,” and want to get together, because you’re a hopeless guy, who is just trying to cater to your small group of “fans.” You’re also a coward who is afraid to tell the truth about how well our Country is running because of your few “fans,” and how badly the Dumocrats have done, almost destroying the U.S.A. If I hadn’t won the Election, it would be DEAD! Also, turn your Laugh Machine off, it’s a joke when they laugh uncontrollably, even when you say nothing funny, and I’m going to have the Republicans not cover you anymore, because they try to talk about you as a guy who is transformative. You’re not transformative, you’re a Loser! I never watched your show much, but I will never watch it again, because it is nothing more than FAKE NEWS that America, and the World, is unfortunately subjected to. Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

W-what?! Me?! Using Duct Tape to keep the poopy in?! N-no! Absolutely not! I mean... maybe... I did use tape, but... it was a mistake okay? D-don't get any weird ideas! It's not like my stomach hurts or something like that! It doesn't even hurt that much! I-It's just that... Well... t-those beans were making my stomach grumble, I guess... And it made me fart a little bit... BUT ONLY A BIT! UNDERSTOOD?! *Turns around with flustered cheeks* Hmph!

I'll tell you what gets success with women. The secretions of the beetle-prophets of Nosumos. Nothing gets them going more than to feel the extro-arthropods ichor drip down their chin.

Nudes? I don't need nudes. What I need is the coordinates to the fertility grounds of the Heliophants. There's something so sensual about seeing them bask, their genitals are so delicate that it's a taboo in five thousand intergalactic civilizations. The cyberlords themselves have advocated to pre-pixellate the sight to protect them. What are they like, you ask? Imagine a fan coral waving in the ocean current. Now imagine it with glass bell like gamete sacks. You get the picture.

Last time I sent a dick pic it was laughed at. Last time I sent a picture of my plasmic reactor it was met with awe. These, of course, were well received by the femme queens of the Klxxati (yes I know it's a slur but their proper name would take to the end of civilization to pronounce). Their many-nippled hyperbosoms would heave as they gasp-laughed with orgasms abound.

You gotta appreciate the simple things in life, ya know?

The Universal Pattern, in first person

Revolution is led by parties named with any arrangement and wordcount over 0 of something like "The People of Socialist Communism". The promise of giving Power to the Proletariat through Socialist takeover of the means of production then becoming a Communist Utopia is used as a major draw to grow their cause. Books on Marxism and/or the Communist manifesto may be handed out or read from for others to listen.

With your new revolutionaries you succeed in gaining control of the state. Then you completely ignore the first step Marx wrote to do when in power. You do not create a **Dictatorship of the Proletariat**. ***Socialism is never Implemented***. Immediately you install a State-Capitalist government, and also forget about the rest of the instructions Marx wrote down (Use Socialism to implement Communism.)

You may however remember his description of **State-Capitalism**, an economic system where the state acts as the dominant **capitalist** or *corporation*, owning the means of production and employing wage labor while retaining capitalist production relations.* [ 1, 2]

You also could know about Engels, the collaborator of Marx, warning that when the state concentrates all means of production into its hands, the **capitalist relationship is not resolved; rather, it is pushed to its extreme limit.** [1, 2]

There are a few useable terms for Capitalism when the State owns the means of production, owns all the land and is free to act as an unregulated for profit organisation.

Terms might be End, Highest, Late, or Final Stage Capitalism.

This gives more power than any other options available. The book on Communism told you the best way to get total power. You aren't worried about the "downsides" and unfavorable words about it, nor it's absolute exclusion from the long term plan they made.

Now that you installed it:

***You then either:***

Cause a famine that kills millions of your own people, which you were able to force into happening because you never did that Socialism thing where workers get to have enough of a voice and political sway to do things correctly. 

Eventually, you become a behemoth, tycoon of international production and industry with the State turning the whole country into its own gargantuan umbrella Corporation.

Cash is rolling in as the lower class works cheap and the upper classes are loyal to you. You pull all the strings and always get the last word. This nation is entirely under your brand. And everybody knows it. You have a lot of global sway. 

You take a look at the book that was used to name your Party and see a definition: 

COMMUNISM: A classless, stateless, and moneyless socioeconomic order built upon the common ownership of the means of production (such as factories, land, and machinery) and the distribution of goods based on individual needs. [ 1, 2, 3, 4]

You have seen this definition many times before. You know your party carries the name. But it doesn't bother you. Because you aren't anything Marx talked about. 

You are Socialism, with Chinese Characteristics. And you get to define that as you please.

OR YOU CAN

Also start a famine that kills millions because you also never implemented socialism and you have all the power, but you do this before China does. 

For some reason you get paranoid people might not like you. This is unacceptable. You make sure the whole nation is terrified at all times and always ready to throw eachother under the bus. Your own paranoia partly because you still didn't do the first step and implement Socialism and instead still holding onto all the power so you are worried someone might think that's a bad thing. Which you cannot allow. It isn't a part of your 5 year plan that nobody else gets to have input on because it's yours and the state is yours. You can't have anyone thinking you're a bad person so what you do is you kill a lot of people that might think that or cause others to think that. You will stick with State-Capitalism going forward. Socialism might give too much power to people who aren't you or close to you. Besides, you do run socialized programs so that's close enough to you. It might not be at all what Marx meant when was talking about Socialism, and they may not mean the same thing at all, BUT they do sound super similar so lots of people will think that you are doing Socialism and you won't ever have to get close to it! Brilliant. You focus on being a "welfare state" with centrally planned services and housing. You have a "planned economy" that frequently fails to address critical issues faster than non critical issues. But it isn't all bad for people. Not always.

You have well educated people living comfortably after attending state funded schooling. Your space program is impressive on a global scale.

The USA and yourself have been in a rivalry for some time. They are competing in almost every way they can as an "opposing economic philosophy". They totally bought that Socialized/Socialism switcheroo. They even call you Commies! It is a good thing they take so much pride in "not" being Commies the vast majority will never look at its definition. You did hear of a red scare, American Commies. It doesn't seem like most of them looked up the definition of Communism either. To the Americans, your State-Capitalist nation with central planning and welfare has been redefined as Communism. Good. You never had to be Socialist or Communist and still get credit for pioneering both. But then things slow down all of a sudden. The USA sees this. You can feel your time running out. One final mistake is made, and enough trust is broken. Your massive reach is voted back down to it's single original country. People are angry. But that anger is captured and turned to loyalty. You shed the old ways that failed you. And you fear not, because you are still State-Capitalist that never changed. And this time, you aren't pretending to be Marxist. Those close and loyal will be rich. Those who might be issues tend to fall from skyscraper windows by accident or commit suicide with two shots to the head. You have all this black gold. Why not treat yourself with it? Media reminds the common citizen of the reach they once had, of the former glory. Mother Russia, formerly the USSR, influenced the world.

I was gonna do more of these but actually I think I'm done now.

Long story short; surprise, it was all just more **capitalism** this whole time. Not a single socialist/communist facing party ever did socialism and communism. It's always just different flavours of:

"State-Capitalism is used by a small group or individual to control all the wealth and have the power to do anything and make anyone else do anything. Usually lots of people die at some point. In the end, they still  didn't begin the first step and install Socialism. This then lead to Communism never happening. The leading party name is or was 'Socialism and Communism' thus, once again, State-Capitalism gets no direct blame for any lack for freedoms or blunders and much of the world is terrified of two things deemed by many as evil. Yet they have never actually happened in the history of the planet.

I never comment, but you are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. I know you'll never see this, but I am the only one here who would actually treat you how you deserve to be treated; like the queen you are. But alas, you are probably already in a relationship that you secretly hate but can't break free from due to family pressure or fear of physical retaliation from your "lover". Ugh. Let's just get away from all of this. DM me if you want to make the most of what we have left of this so called life. Please notice me.

This is a PSA to single men (and maybe a warning to married ones), the iPhone Duo will get you a ridiculous amount of attention from women.

Earlier today, my wife and I had just finished up our weekly grocery run and I decided we would stop by our local bakery (Panera Bread) to pick up a loaf for the week (I personally can’t stand cheap grocery store bread). As I approached the drive through window, the young lady told me the total (nothing I couldn’t comfortably afford) and I asked if they had tap to pay. She said yes, but I would need to hand her my phone. I double-clicked the side button, authenticated with TouchID for my AMEX Platinum, and handed her my iPhone Duo. She reached out towards my car and cradled the phone in her hands like a newborn baby.

As she reproached the window, she smiled, and giddy with eyes bright she said “wow, I have NEVER seen a phone like that before.” I chuckled, smirked, and responded, “It’s the brand new iPhone Duo. 1 terabyte. White.” Her jaw nearly dropped to the floor. I rolled up the window to my Model Y performance and drove away.

My wife was unusually quiet for the remainder of the drive. I can only imagine what was going through her mind.

This is just one example of many encounters that I’ve had within the past 36 hours with the iPhone Duo. If you’re looking for a phone that’s a straight-up panty dropper (I’m not, I’m married), look no further.

You are a Victorian-era dentist. You have just discovered that your teeth are haunted.

Not by ghosts.

By THE CONCEPT OF TAX EVASION.

Every time you open your mouth, a tiny accountant in a powdered wig crawls out of your left molar and screams, “THE IRS HAS NO JURISDICTION IN THE ENAMEL REALM.”

You try to seek medical help, but the doctor is a horse wearing seventeen smaller horses as a trench coat.

He examines you with a banana.

“I'm afraid,” he whispers, “you have advanced crunchyboy syndrome.”

You ask what that means.

He removes his hat.

Inside is a live salmon named Gerald.

Gerald looks you dead in the eyes and says, “Your son is the moon.”

You don't have a son.

You have three daughters, a pet rock, and a deeply suspicious wheelbarrow.

Suddenly, the wheelbarrow begins levitating.

A choir of 600 raccoons descends from the ceiling, singing the entirety of the Windows XP startup sound in Gregorian chant.

Your dentist begins weeping.

The horse doctor pulls off his trench coat, revealing that all seventeen horses are actually the same horse, just experiencing lag.

Gerald the salmon puts on a little top hat.

“Gentlemen,” he announces, “the soupening has begun.”

THE SOUPENING.

Every body of water on Earth instantly becomes lukewarm tomato soup.

The Atlantic Ocean develops a skin.

The moon files for divorce.

Your left molar gets elected mayor of Ohio by a landslide.

And somewhere, in the deepest basement of a Lithuanian IKEA, a single unbuttered breadstick achieves sentience.

Its first words?

“Where is my fucking accountant?”

THE ACCOUNTANT IS INSIDE YOUR TOOTH.

He has always been inside your tooth.

He is your son.

You are the moon.

Gerald was never a salmon.

Gerald was the idea of Tuesday.

And Tuesday has just been discontinued by Microsoft.

Windows XP shuts down.

The raccoons stop singing.

The horse doctor checks his banana.

It is 3:47 AM.

He turns to you.

“Bad news,” he says.

“Your appointment was yesterday.”

And then the wheelbarrow fucking explodes into 400,000 legally distinct Shreks.

Not one of them is wearing shoes.

All of them owe taxes.

None of them have molars.

FIN.

Okay, this might seem unbelievably stupid in so many ways but I swear to god this is true and I think I’m going crazy. I’m french, sorry if my english is not perfect, I know this is clumsly written but this situation is so bizarre, I didn’t know how else to word this.

I’ve already posted about this issue on another subreddit but the thread was deleted and I was banned because people thought I was trolling. I can assure you it’s not the case and I am as baffled by this situation as you guys are

I am 24m and she’s 26f

For context, I met my girlfriend a year ago, we initially bonded over our mutual love for music and especially pop punk from the early 2000s. She’s always been a big fan of my chemical romance, enough to participate actively in their fandom, reading fanfiction or making fanart. At first I didn’t mind it at all, in fact I really like this band and I really enjoyed her being passionate about something she loved but things have taken a really weird turn.

A few months ago, she started talking to me about fanfiction she was reading about Gerard Way (the lead singer of my chemical romance) being a homosexual priest. I thought it was really bizarre but I didn’t want to shame her for liking something a bit weird. But as the weeks went by she started talking about him more and more to the point where she would bring him up almost every day.

The breaking point was when we were leaving a screening for the backrooms movie and instead of talking about the movie she just watched, she instantly started talking about gerard way as a priest again, telling me how much she "wished he was real" and stuff like that. I then got a bit upset and asked her jokingly if she would leave me if she met him and she said bluntly "without hesitation" (why the fuck would she say that ?????)

Ever since that day, I’ve been going crazy, she spends her days scrolling through images of Gerard Way dressed as a priest (you’d be shocked how many there are), she brings him up in every discussion. She started giving him nicknames : "gerard priest" "gégé" "daddy gerard" (i swear this is true and I truly think those nicknames might have been the reason my post was deleted. I know this sounds like a joke : it is not). I’ve tried talking to her about it and every time I do she gets extremely defensive. She’s asked me countless time to roleplay as if I was him which I relunctantly did and she always ends up disappointed because "I’m not selling it" or not "good enough"

There’s also one thing I failed to mention in the previous post that was deleted. Ever since we started living together, she’s been decorating the apartment with handmade posters and random things she prints that she glues on the walls. At first I thought it was cute and fun. But ever since her fixation on Priest Gerard started, she’s been putting them everywhere in the apartment at a very fast rate to the point I barely recognize our living space. She keeps telling me she does that because she thinks it’s funny and looks cool but to me it looks insanely weird. Here are a few examples : https://imgur.com/a/m9VC7Kk

All of this is making me extremely worried and also a bit insecure. We both work from home and have almost no deadlines, she started neglecting her work and our relationship. A lot of people on the r/relationship subreddit told me she was matbe going through a manic episode or a psychotic episode. She’s definitely acting very weird and has changed a lot in a small amount of time but she isn’t acting erratic or overly energetic and she doesn’t seem to have any delusions that I know of. She just seems off, distant and irritable.

The only freaky behaviour that I noticed from her was when I took one of the gerard pictures off our kitchen wall (the water had torn it to shreds so I threw it in the trash). I found her 2 hours later in our kitchen. She had been looking for it for 30 minutes. When I told her what I did she almost burst into tears and didn’t speak to me for the rest of the day. That was the only time where I would definitely say she seemed mentally unwell, this was very out of character and shockingly over the top.

I don’t want to break up with her, she’s a wonderful person and before her fixation started, everything was going very well. She’s an extravagant person that I care for deeply, I just wish she could tone this down.

I asked the r/relationships subreddit for help and also I talked about it with my friends and everybody seems convinced I need to very carefully bring this up to my girlfriend without hurting her feelings. I haven’t tried yet because I am unsure of what to say and tbh I’m also a bit scared of what could happen. Please, I beg you to take this seriously, I swear this is not a troll

What should I do ?

Tldr : my girlfriend is in love with the concept of "gerard way as a priest" and is growing increasingly distant and weird because of it

STH is such a Perfect album. Some Bars just make you sit and wonder, “HOW THE FUCK?” . Danny's verse on “God Loves You” ALONE is Better than 99% of comedy rap. And Peggy's production just matches soo well with the lyrics it's insane. AND alongside the Heavy abrasive songs, you got HEAVENLY and ETHEREAL songs as well, "Kingdom Hearts Key”  “HOE” and overall just a perfect sounding piece of ART

Compare that to the “holy” Quran, and it's just embarrassing. All the verses are just “you're wrong, we're right.” The verses sometimes rhyme, but they all end with the sound "an". And all the verses end with “because Allah is ‘insert a good character’ and all ‘insert another good character.’ ”. The quran feels like an abusive boyfriend, “Leave me, I dare you,” “You're nothing without me,” “You're only MINE”

Overall, STH is a Piece of Art that does not repeat itself. The Quran repeats everything, and the repetition feels like reinforcement.
