Solidarity—everyone just totally forgot what that actually means. 😉
One person gets banned and then everyone just "forgets" to unban them once the time is up.
And honestly? While they were making actual arguments—which is what this Reddit should be about—they were getting under people's skin. People provoked them at every turn, and then some users started firing back in kind... and suddenly, everything turns into blatant antisemitism...
Out of nowhere, everyone’s seeing nothing but Jews, even though people have been trash-talking Jews here for years without anyone blinking an eye.
Funny thing is, when it was just Rambi alone... it was the same deal, but she wasn't bothering anybody. Hmm. We could handle one person, but a whole group? 😠
The second a few more showed up... boom! Everything is suddenly a Jewish-Masonic conspiracy!
And yet, nobody said a word when threads about Jews were being opened for months on end!
It's honestly pathetic seeing the mods in the new threads, even having the big boss from Anderlon chime in with such a tasteless headline. And jeez, there were so many moderator comments... I'm dying to know, what kind were they? Besides, the fact that IL and his clones have been polluting this Reddit and the religion sub for ages... neither Anderlon nor anyone else cared!
The way they (IL and his clones) run organized campaigns and back each other up on every single thread... nobody cares. Everyone's just playing dumb... Ugh... I'm totally disgusted.....
Thanks for listening... Go ahead and ban me too, let me see what it's like!
😁 Postscript: I started typing this online right after rapidranger79's post!
Kevin Long20 said:I don't think AMC Theatres is going anywhere. There are tons of people who go there just to catch whatever's playing. Mostly just to be seen, honestly.
And why wouldn't it happen? That's how things have always worked.
We just need to "discover" a new spot. Why not a theater for all those bitter reviewers out there? Maybe somewhere on the outskirts of town, but still easy to get to via public transit? In a big city like Chicago, that wouldn't even be an issue.
Imagine if the local forum regulars and bloggers tried to organize something like that low-key. Just for the hell of it! I'd bet money that place would become the next big thing overnight. 😛
Kevin Long20 said:Look, we basically asked for this with all the ads. You can come at me all you want, but it's the truth! For as long as I can remember, there have always been commercials before the movie starts. Back in the day, they’d just run a few slides for a local radio station, a hair salon, or a film distributor. We could have complained or sued them for breaking rules back then, but we didn't because the ads only lasted a minute—sometimes before the lights even went down! That set the precedent, and now they think they can shove 20 minutes of commercials right in the middle of the movie. And don't look to consumer protection groups to help; they won't do a thing.
Man, you're young. There was a time when we actually got to watch movie newsreels before the feature started... kind of like the old-school version of the nightly news. 😉
Bottom line? Big Capital learned how to get organized a long time ago. It's up to us "consumer sheep" to catch up. That's just how it works.
Classic movie theaters didn't fail, they just gave these scammers a chance to rob us blind.
Honestly, if you're a total newbie, you might as well hit up a theater. At least there, you can actually see the actors working their tails off to earn a paycheck.🙂
Classic movie theaters are tanking because ticket prices don't even touch the basic overhead anymore. Going to the movies just isn't the go-to move for a night out like it used to be. Why bother when you can get way more comfortable watching everything from your own couch?
They thought they could fix it with endless commercials, but honestly? It’s backfiring. Now they're driving away the few regulars they actually have, and it’s just a downward spiral... straight toward closing time.

Mickey Mouse said:Jung totally missed the mark. If you're part of those yoga crowds, you probably had to be a little messed up first...
He didn't "misunderstand" anything. It’s the people who haven't actually read his work who got it wrong—they're just too quick to try and shove him into some neat little box. The guy spent his entire life studying the collective unconscious, yet he was rejected most by the very Christians he studied. Then, once he passed away and people finally read his "autobiography" where he opens up about faith... suddenly, he’s their guy. 😉
Enchantress said:...Besides, the psychiatrist claimed that this guy’s mental issues would never have surfaced if he had just reached out to a Christian church.
I'm curious what everyone else thinks about this—how much truth is actually in there?
Oh, there's definitely truth to it! It all comes down to a different kind of collective unconscious. That's actually why Jung wasn't really into Eastern yoga; instead, he suggested techniques that were more aligned with Christian traditions. If Christians haven't come up with anything better by now, that's on them, not Jung.
I mean, let's be real—true, focused prayer is basically just another form of meditation, right? 🙂
swiftcobra15 said:Like I said, we're talking about some random anonymous person from a poll here. So your take on this is basically a complete swing and a miss.
They keep pointing out how everyone on both R&D Forums keeps using the word "faith" when they're actually talking about something else entirely. I mean, how does someone even "insult my faith"? 😕 😕 😕 It’s total nonsense.👋
So what, we just change who we are as a nation now?😉
That’s exactly how most people feel, though. They tie their whole identity to their faith—people will even kill or die for it. That's just facts. Everything else is just talk.
P.S. Seriously, I'm always complaining about how everyone suddenly starts talking in circles and repeating the same old lines, and I keep telling them it's all just fluff, but hey, what do I know? The chatterboxes have won, and the linguists have gone quiet. So what now?
Alexander Watson said:There’s really no point in making fun of Simone. She was just being blunt, and she’s right! Your average person calls themselves a Christian, hits up Mass on Sundays, gets their kids baptized and through First Communion, but honestly? They probably know less about the faith than a kid in Sunday school..
swiftcobra15 said:Are you joking or actually serious right now? If you ask me, it’s the other way around. You haven't found true faith until you break free from all those doctrines that spent your whole childhood programming you. Every single doctrine is a lie—and a total enemy of human freedom.
The "average believer" (whatever that even means? 😕 ) thinks they know what's up, and honestly, it's pretty rude to tell them they "don't actually know their own faith." 😉
1. 😁 2. I'd say it too, but it doesn't change the fact that everyone's thinking the exact same thing. 3. It's obvious they don't get it... the surveys prove it. Either people preach one thing in public while secretly believing something totally different, or what? Does that mean they all need to go get a degree in theology?
Btw, even Goran Ivanišević didn't realize that being a "proper" Catholic meant you had to be married before you could even have a kid baptized in the Catholic Church.
You can't have real faith without some kind of doctrine.
Besides, your average person isn't out here stressing over technical jargon, right? So, the public response totally reflected that. It was kept simple enough for everyone to get.
It wasn't some deep theological lecture; it was just a basic look at what experts and the public actually think.
There was more explanation available too, but honestly, who cares? If anyone wants the nitty-gritty details, they can go ask their local priest at their parish. 😁
