The more I listen to them, the more I find myself rooting for 🙂

Religion generally tends to meddle in places where it simply doesn't belong...
The actual goal of religion (and I’m not talking about the Bible or the Quran here) in this modern era is to cause chaos. It doesn't even matter which faith you're looking at.
It always comes down to that tired, obnoxious "My God is better than your God" routine...

If people would just listen to their own intuition instead of following the crowd, we wouldn't be dealing with all this religious-driven nonsense. We really just need a little more independent thought. 🙂

The synopsis is top-tier, though. 😂

P.S.—The special effects certainly weren't that "special"... 🤣

What on earth is going on here, guys? 🤦

I honestly think we’re overdue for something unique—you know, a post-apocalyptic, surrealist disaster flick, but one that somehow weaves in elements of a romantic comedy. 🤷

Think along the lines of something with the grit and soul of a John McCain biopic or even those classic forbidden romance dramas. 🤷

Look, man, just smoke some weed and get lost in the trip. Who cares what happens? If you hit a massive high, awesome. If you don't? Even better. Either way, it’s a win-win in my book. 😁

At the end of the day, arrogance and insecurity are just two sides of the same coin. 😁

Look, just drop it. You don't owe anyone a damn thing in the way of proof. The second they realize you're actually trying to defend yourself, that blow is going to land even harder. Honestly, if someone starts calling you an idiot or whatever other nonsense they throw your way, just agree with them. Tell them they’re right—actually, tell them you’re even worse than they think—and say it with a completely straight face. Once they realize their insults aren't getting under your skin, they'll eventually back off. And if they don't? Then they're the real morons here. That’s how you handle those ego-driven little brats 😛

I’ve been sitting here staring at this clip, trying to wrap my head around the sheer absurdity of it all, and honestly, I feel like my blood pressure is climbing just thinking about it. It reminds me of those old debates you used to see on late-night talk shows back in the nineties—where everyone was shouting, nobody was listening, and the logic was thinner than a cheap slice of diner pizza. There is a certain level of chaos in how people approach this kind of topic. It’s much like watching a poorly directed action flick where the stunt coordinator clearly went on strike halfway through production. You expect a certain flow, a sense of purpose, but instead, you get this disjointed, frantic energy that serves no one. It’s inefficient, it's messy, and frankly, it’s exhausting to witness. I remember reading an editorial in the New York Times a few years back that touched on a similar lack of structural integrity in public discourse. They argued that when we lose the ability to follow a coherent thread, we lose the ability to actually solve problems. This video feels like a microcosm of that exact failure. We aren't building anything here; we're just throwing paint at a wall and calling it art. It’s frustrating because, if you just took a second to pause, breathe, and apply even a modicum of common sense, the whole thing would resolve itself quite easily. But no, we prefer the spectacle of the mess.

I really expected a lot more from a top-tier crew like that, but I guess it’ll do 🤷

Imagine dealing with a kidney stone 🙄

Enivej, maybe try some herbal tea or something... if that doesn't cut it, just grab a chainsaw and take a little off above the ankle. No big deal, right? ☕

Worst case scenario, just head over to the CNN ER 😉

The question is this: to what extent does the individual shape the prevailing mentality, and conversely, to what degree does that collective mentality mold the individual?

My inquiry was specifically prompted by a statement made by Kish: When everyone lies, no one is lying. When everything is a lie, nothing is a lie.

Is it truly possible to refrain from judging an individual for acts of theft, corruption, or other socially destructive behaviors that undermine our shared values?

You really ought to check out this documentary, Cymatics 🙂
