completing goals triggers a dopamine response

then you have the sub category of goals

Some people have nothing left to accomplish. No hobbies, fat bellies, so they get their release from beating enemies

From May 2017. The writer gives an account of what it was like to apply for a job with The Knife.

i dont know if cult fits what they are

maybe secret, but not a secret, society

though im nto surprised the M cult stuff formed out of this group

SM cult*

Interesting read @possumsquat93

You know Charles Mansions cult sprung out of another cult called The Process Church of the Final Judgement. This isn’t exactly unprecedented.

Factual truth is all I really care about when it comes to news. While you'll never going to fully eliminate bias from news, since you automatically create bias by choosing to cover one thing over another, the Knife's done a good job painting objective & largely neutral fact based reporting on issues

They have. I was really impressed with how they covered the Google Memo event. I read and archived dozens of articles from the MSM unfairly covering the memo. The Knife media’s synopsis of this event was perfect.

the knife people alleged that the stories are all fake news meant to damage their organization and that NXIVM is about helping people break out of bias

so they may have started the Knife as a way to combat news they didnt think was fair or accurate

the knife seems fine on the surface but dont let that coax you into joining a cult if thats what they really are

I honestly don't really know anything about NXIVM aside from all this crap I keep seeing about the girl from Smallville

I also don't really care about it. If people wanna willingly join a cult go nuts. Cults aren't my thing, I had enough of them after 12 years of Catholic school

Zing

everyone is all pissed about ICE now sharing photos from Obama admin

wtf

Ive been complaining about oabam before it was cool

Lmao

I didn't really intend that as a zing. I legitimately believe all religions are cults. They're just socially acceptable cults

What's this about ICE photos? Photos of what?

Photos of kids caged in internment camps

Wow, that’s intense

oh you mean the roundup camps that happened about 4-5 years ago?

Yes

yeah that was shit

Thanks Obama.

I was sharing these back when everyone was calling Trump a Nazi and claiming he was gunna build camps to put Muslims & Mexicans

I was like "why would he need to build camps, they already exist"

Besides putting illegal migrants into a detention facility, what else would the expectation be? Just throwing up your hands and saying "come on in, laws and borders are for meanies"?

its not the camps themselves, but the conditions in the camps

Deporting them?

Let children just wander on into the country and vanish into someone's basement?

Why does it take 3 months to deport a person?

The media is way to protective of Obama. Remember how they claimed he had no scandals under his administration? They ignored the NSA spying and the ATF selling guns to Mexican drug cartels. That’s just naming two.

I assume those who don't like laws and borders make the process as drawn out as possible. Rules for radicals tactics. Use the enemy's rules against them.

4. "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."

So if there's any appeals process, it gets used in every case.
