Phrasing it as "passing it off as" and bringing it up in a thread of hot takes in general gave off that impression to me, it felt like a relatively minor detail, but I didn't mean it as a direct accusation, just mainly trying to get a sense of what you meant by mentioning it.

I have to imagine they completely implicated Tom Cruise in some of the worst shit they are up to, so if he ever tries to leave the absurd perks and shit they offer him, he'll have to absolutely destroy his image and probably the image of friends and families forever.

Here's an article with all the relevant posts quoted, the rest of the text and attitude kind of sucks but this is just an easy way to share the relevant texts.

Basic summary, Emily Armstrong to what I can see hasn't publicly admitted to being part of Scientology, but former member and victim of Danny Masterson, Chrissie Carnell-Bixler and her husband have both named Emily as a "hardcore Scientologist".

Emily admits to having been at court in support of now convicted multiple rapist Danny Masterson, but claims she only did it one time, as a friend, and never knew anything else or participated in anything else. The Bixlers say this is total fucking bullshit, and that Emily directly participated in mob intimidation tactics against a separate victim, as well as bring up a fuckton of specific Scientologists doing other intimidation tactics or mocking Mastersons victims in private, and that Emily has full knowledge of all of that.

Also they say Emilys parents literally work for the Scientology "Office of Special Affairs", the internal police who harrass former members into silence.

One of his victims, Chrissie Carnell-Bixler, directly accused Emily of participating in Scientology mob intimidation tactics against another victim at the courthouse.

And both Chrissie and her husband have posted tons of direct allegations of Scientologists doing other horrible intimidation tactics like hiding in the courthouse bathrooms to ambush distraught victims after they finish taking the stand, like a fuckton of shit that Emily never mentions but should obviously have been aware of at the time.

I've seen stuff that isn't strictly like genetic/developmental included in the neurodivergence umbrella before, but either way that just seems like a relatively standard semantic disagreement, you kinda phrased it like some kind of deceptive act.

Wouldn't ASPD by definition be neurodivergent?

I completely do not recall who said this so I can't vouch for activity or not.

But my favourite obscure hot take was during urban planning discussions and someone gave a very spirited description of how there should be absolutely no personal kitchens in apartments, so that communal canteens could be used to socially engineer the people into more virtuous cuisine choices(not primarily in terms of vegan v meat but like regional cuisines.)

Don't recall exactly the following reactions but I do think there was some revisions to the original idea after people pointed out that this would probably end up either killing people with allergies, or result in segregation based on medical conditions.

I mean the juicy part is gonna be more about cooking than marinades or other prepwork, except maybe butterflying it so it cooks faster and more even.

Short of literally injecting fluid or some goofy stuff like that, the breast isn't gonna get much more juicy than where it starts, and while cooking it definitely isn't trivial it's not anything more than basic experience and skills applied.

And for flavoring it's probably easier for the most part to make a nice sauce separate to the chicken breast and add that on top.

That's a fair viewpoint, I mainly bring up sushi because I think most hexbears are way more forgiving of the same kind of mindset when it's distinctly non-white.

Most of the best dishes I've tasted and made myself are definitely on the side of using odd stuff and throwing things together to cook for a long ass time.

Tbf that's not an inherently bad way of thinking about ingredients, most sushi nerds will praise "real" sushi for not drowning the fish in spicy mayo and other extras to appeal to white people, but instead focusing on enhancing the rice and fish.

Basically the fast food of "real" dining, no matter where you are, you can order a steak and basically be satisfied with the same slop unless you eat at a legitimately bad place.

While the rest of the family tries interesting stuff, insecure dads can get their adult kids menu meals.

Apparently it was screened sometime in the past 2 weeks, or at least the footage they have left of it.

The buzz I heard was that it was apparently arguably more respectful and tactfully done than The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, at least the actual ending scenes.
