  • I don’t buy paper towels as my own means of decreasing paper waste. I end up putting these things in aluminum foil, which I think is more expensive for me (I don’t have a microwave or toaster oven.)

  • If you listen to the tapes (which, totally understandable to not) - there was a woman (iirc) who argued pretty vociferously against Jim Jones plan. They had killed a U.S. congressman at that point - the idea was that they were doomed anyway. But people did argue against him.

    Another aspect is that they had started the suicide drills long before they had even moved to Guyana. They had church services in California where they were told to drink what they were taught was poison.

    People who didn’t drink the Flavorade were shot. You don’t need everyone to go along with it - you just need a handful of the people who are willing to take quick, immediate action.

    The recent Behind the Bastards episode about Kevin Smith (not the director of Dogma but a Jamaican Pentecostal preacher) makes this pretty clear - there’s these fucked up dynamics which make certain people more willing to act, and others less so.

  • Yes, it is all about money. I have negative 100,000 dollars, because my dumbass thought supporting my trust fund husband through his schooling would mean something, and instead got tortured and shackled with hell credit card debt. I don’t get an oil changed because I am terrified when I do they will say something is even more fucked withi and it will be 10 billion dollars please. I am getting a second job. I need to be able to make it to the first job.

    I fucking hate the car. I want to drive it into the surface of the sun. The ac has never worked.

    At one point I knew how to do an oil change. I could do it on my Corolla, because that was designed in a way that a human being can interact with. The 2018 Honda Civic is designed in such a way to obstruct the fact that it is fundamentally a broken vehicle.

  • About $150.

    I am picking up a second job. A third one will probably put me at the point where I’m suicidal again, and that gets expensive fast ❤️

    If you can help me get to a place where it doesn’t matter that the science teacher is a trannyremoved, that’ll be less of a problem ❤️
