ITT: no cult scholars. I am not one either.

I watch a lot of Knitting Cult Lady’s content and I’ve read her book. From that I have a pretty good idea of what a cult is, which is an extreme form of group.

So I guess the opposite of a cult would be a solitary individual.

One point I keep seeing in these comments is religion. Religion isn’t a cult, it’s an idea. That ideology can be used by cults, but the idea itself isn’t a cult. You can believe the idea all by yourself you don’t HAVE to be part of the group.

Yes [insert religious group you’re thinking of] is probably a cult. But it isn’t one because of the idea, it’s one because of controlling behavior and exploited labor and a bunch of other reasons.

Game on the right but that’s because my right monitor is the good monitor. The left one is a glorified TV.

Sorry. I laughed from your comment. Doctors tell women blacking out from menstrual pain is perfectly normal.

Didn’t mean to distract from your message, you’re absolutely right.

Connect. I just like it. I tried all of the other apps available during the API exodus and settled on Connect. Functions most similarly to how I had Reddit is Fun set up.
