women are so obviously not sure about the situation but they are not done with my partner

There's one I see around town often enough. I was parked at a red light next to it the other day and it was remarkable how shitty the panels look up close. They're not really flat and planar. They're sort of wobbly like corrugated tin.

Haha, yes, apple fritters are the best, but the place by me makes them so big I only have to order the one.

Greed, corruption, and nepotism are effects of power structures, not socialism. That's why we have them under our economic system as well as socialist/communist states in the past.

This is clearly an attempt to make a second Gamergate happen.

Hah, I love this track, but kind of ironically. It's fun when it comes up on shuffle.

White Pony is accessible and everyone knows it. Around the Fur has the best snare I've ever heard recorded.

With polyamory, Brokeback Mountain is a light hearted comedy about some queer friends who like to escape to the woods sometimes.

Exactly this. It also lacks the gravity of an entire concept album preceding it and two minutes of static death sounds at the end. It's a sanitized cover of a song that shouldn't be sanitized.

You are born into a family that practices that religion. The people closest to you insist the religion is true. Every week they take you to a stage performance where the audience all insists the religion is true and they performers not only insist it's true but are treated as a great authority on the truth of the religion.

You are put into youth groups and formal education programs where additional authorities instill in you the constant insistence that the religion is true. You join the local Boy Scout troop and they all insist it's true. You go to a school run by the church. The entire class of students collectively insist the religion is true.

Some religions, like the Jehovah's Witnesses, send church members and their families to canvas neighborhoods, knocking on doors, delivering the "good news," failing to convince anyone, and coming to the conclusion over time that the rest of the world just doesn't want to see the truth that you've become convinced of because literally everyone in your life constantly reaffirms that the religion is true.

The most successful indoctrination runs deep and is pervasive.

Baron d'Holbach was writing about it in the... 1600s? And it had been going on for a while at that point, too.
