I can’t believe the classic “MOM HOLY FUCK” comic was actually made by the PnF crew this entire time
this post just changed my whole life
Same mood

I’m OBSESSED with this post. Fucking iconic
honey, are you okay? you’ve barely touched your twilight water
My hypothesis is that in like 10 years gen z is gonna have a big cult boom the way the boomers did in the 70s
It’s already happening on tik tok. There’s a fun new thing going round that’s citing common symptoms of depression and anxiety as signs you’re about to have your awakening and that you are actually an alien and the reason you don’t feel right is because you’re home sick for your own galaxy. So that’s fun.
agreed, and i don't mean this in a "haha gen z is so dumb they're gonna join a tiktok cult lmao" i mean that conditions are perfect for the formation of cults right now.
high unemployment and a lot of underpaying, pointless jobs = people are looking for things to do with their life, a purpose
skyrocketing cost of living = most young people will not be able to live on their own, meaning some will end up in a group living situation with people interested in recruiting them
it's a time of great cultural and political upheaval, nothing feels real, people are desperate for meaning and human connection. cults promise that
there is a new wave of acceptance and understanding for ways of life outside the norm, which is great! ...except for when cult leaders tell you abusive and controlling practices are just their culture, their religion, their lifestyle, their beliefs, their tradition, and if you disrespect it you are the problem
social media influencers have already shown us how easy it is to build a cult of personality and attract people from anywhere in the world who are interested in the exact brand you are selling
spirtuality is having a boom, as are things like astrology, crystals, tarot, meditation, energy... those things aren't bad on their own but they are often used as tools of cult spaces
wellness. i think a lot of people are already in wellness cults. you can make people do a lot of things in the name of "wellness" and a big factor of maintaining a cult is keeping members in a state of decreased cognition..... like say, with regular fasting
i think people are just unaware in general of how cults function, especially because the satanic panic was a big stupid false alarm that convinced the youths that dungeons and dragons or doom were gateways to cults, which are scary evil child murdering, satan-worshipping gangs. people don't know how to spot them in real life.
all cyberpunk stories are like “If you wanna crack open a cybercroissant this nasty, you’re gonna need a real top notch e-driller. i know a guy- Toledo Killswitch- he’s got the frag ordinance you need to grizzle this bocce ball.”

"Tch, you don't even know how to cast Mungus Blast?"
What's a Mungus Blast?
Wow you don't even know about Mungus Blast
Please, I must know what a Mungus Blast is. I beg of you, tell me.
Look, if you must know, head down to the archives and ask the Hovering Orb of Knowledge what a Mungus Blast is. Make sure you ask really loud.
It’s coming.
honey, are you okay? you’ve barely touched your twilight water
Now that it’s 2021 that means anything that came out in 2001 will be 20 years old so here’s a bunch of movies that will be 20 this year

How many of spouses must be present at wedding for marriage to be valid.
@ mutuals we have all just gotten legally married in montana
No, but here’s the funniest bit about it: Montana has a thing called double marriage by proxy. You see, it still requires some kind of ceremony for a couple to be married, but you can have people standing in for both couples, allowing it to essentially become marriage by phone.
So there are two people in Helena whose job it is to get married, over and over again, standing in for other people and allowing their marriages to become legal.
*psst* the information in this post would be a very good foundation for a fic on AO3
It’s true, although it’s apparently in a town called Kalispell rather than in the capital Helena
A double proxy marriage is a marriage conducted by authority of the State of Montana which allows the parties to become married without either one being present before the civil judge who performs the marriage. One party in a double-proxy marriage must be either a Montana resident or a member of the armed forces on active duty. These marriages are recognized in every state but Iowa. The marriages can be arranged through a web site MarriageByProxy.com which charges about $500 plus about $400 in costs for the court, the proxies who stand in, and the license fees.
…
Kalispell morphed into a wedding chapel for absentees five years ago [this article is from 2016, so that would be 2011], when a soldier from Montana, serving in Iraq, wanted to marry his pregnant Italian girlfriend. The soldier’s family asked a lawyer named Dean Knapton to research a rumor that Montana allowed double-proxy weddings. The answer, to his surprise, was yes.
It seems the law had been on Montana’s books for at least several decades, perhaps to accommodate soldiers during World War II. But its purpose became lost to time, like some once-urgent law banning bowling on the Sabbath — until its resurrection by Mr. Knapton.
A more recent article notes that the number of double-proxy marriages has gone way up since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. That article notes that double-proxy marriages have been legal in Montana since the 1860s, so it’s been around for quite a while
Can we just note how funny it is that 48 other states just went with the flow and decided to recognize these marriages as valid and just Iowa specifically decided to be a grouch about it
