It’s popular because it does work for a lot of things, from fear of spiders to eating disorders. Of course they would try it on as many different problems as possible.

Beats the currently popular “that’s just the way you are and if it affects other people that’s their problem. In fact, you’re actually better than other people.”-therapy

Them being so old and decrepit now makes up for them not being as drunk. It’s the same experience pretty much!

Also the anti-union bullshit Linus tend to puke out sometimes.

It’s decentralised, but can’t federate. From my experience it’s just cryptobros trying to sell their latest shitcoin to each other.

Soup with lots of root vegetables, cabbage, lentils etc. whatever is in season (a tip is to roast the veg in the oven first for better flavour and mouth feel). I always have some good sausages in the freezer that I buy for 50% off because they’re close to expiration. Thaw them and fry them pretty hard before joining the soup. I can easily feed myself and my gf for a week from one batch. A boring week for sure but you do what you gotta do. Mix it up with some different toppings or other flavourings during the week.

I fully agree with you. I would however like to see better protection for children from these sects. No child should be allowed to suffer genital mutilation in order to mark them as members of the cult for example. Only one party in my country has suggested this, and quickly changed their mind when Yahweh cultists threatened violence and at the same time claimed victimhood over the thought of not being allowed to physically abuse their children.

You can’t be sent back if there’s a legitimate threat to your life waiting for you. Like being a woman in bad standing with her family, or being gay. It happens anyway sometimes of course, and people do lie sometimes. Although I have a hard time seeing a devout Muslim being in a committed gay relationship just for a visa/citizenship.

Personally I dislike the influx of religious cultists, since we’ve worked really hard for the last 50-70 years to free ourselves from the oppression and violence that the sick Cult of Yahweh has brought us throughout history.

I wouldn’t call a cult a belief system.

Where’s the grift in that? It’s gonna be raw sewage and industrial waste.
