Cults generally are very centrally controlled and also demand people shun outsiders and/or apoststes

Wouldn't that make it easier to figure out where it happened

I used to voluntarily share my location with my dad for "safety". He ended up texting me his McDonald's orders anytime I was within proximity of a McDonald's.

Nope.

Some shoes even already had compartments in them and came with a toy car that fit in there

The elders crave the slop (feddit.uk)
 

I digitally sterilised by great aunt's tablet. Removed YouTube. Removed Google's slop news feed. Switched her browser to brave (no ads) and search engine to duckduckgo. Put on more sensible news outlets like the BBC and ITV.

Now she's complaining that it's "just not as good as it used to be".

My great aunt is going into slop withdrawal.

Why do people always say to "stay still" when you're being pestered by a wasp? (feddit.uk)
 

When I was younger and started being pestered by a wasp, I ran away from it as fast as I could. People very condescendingly told me "if you stay still, it won't bother you 🤓". Then I'd later hear these same people mention how they were recently stung by a wasp. I am now an adult and still avoid wasps. People still condescendingly tell me the same thing. I ask them if they have ever been stung and they quite proudly tell me they have. I've never been stung. I don't see the logic of sitting still eating an ice cream while a wasp buzzes around you, and that somehow doesn't agitate the wasp.

I can understand why swatting would aggravate them. But not running. Running has always worked for me

Just received news that 27 people have been arrested in Parliament Square under the Terrorism Act 2000... (bsky.app)
 

Just received news that 27 people have been arrested in Parliament Square under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action". This is real police state behaviour.

Does anybody actually care that a dude chanted "Death, Death to the IDF" at Glastonbury? (feddit.uk)
 

I'm hearing everyone come out and condemn this thing which is apparently "hate speech" and how apparently terrible it was for the BBC to continue broadcasting it (I don't think they did anything wrong- they were broadcasting a real life event). I understand the upset at kneecap (like supporting Hezbollah and talking about killing MPs) but I don't know how chanting "Death to the IDF" is hate speech- it's not even necessarily calling for death to humans, could be directed towards wanting to disband the organisation.

I don't know why the media and politicians are making such a big deal over it. It feels like they are trying to tell us how awful it was that these people said this thing and that we should apparently be outraged. Or maybe it's just me. I think there are worse things going on in the world.... particularly within the geographical piece of land variously known as Israel/Palestine/Canaan....
