It's nice that they're wearing gloves for the final throwdown. Wouldn't want anybody's lil knuckies getting hurt when deciding the fate of the material realm.

Nothing helps your cash-hemorrhaging company attract new advertisers like the most petty weak little baby-slaps against people that have (rightfully, as you've since admitted) called you out for bad behavior. Man, where can I sign up to do business with this guy!

Shellac - Prayer to God

Mostly just purely spiteful on its face, but there's definitely a lot of underlying sadness in there. Good for when you got a case of the bitters (though not likely to help get you out of it lol).

The Mountain Goats - No Children

Also more spiteful than weepy sad, but up there.

I like to think of it like other info-agnostic words. It's fine if you don't know, but once you know, you use what they prefer as a sign of respect.

Like how you can refer to someone across the room you haven't met as "that person over there", but if they were just talking to you and had introduced themselves, then calling them that would be kinda uncool.

Grew up in the Evangelical church - the way they always explained it to us is that it's not a religion (which is a dogmatic set of beliefs that one only obey because they are told to), but rather it's a personal relationship with Jesus, and you do the things he tells you to do only because you love him so much.

It also opens the door for some weird loopholes for dealing with apostates, since if you stop doing the things they tell you to, you must not truly have loved Jesus to begin with.

It really feels like they've honed the edge of the mind virus extra razor-sharp. Lots of wacky thought-terminating logic structures, kinda cool if it weren't so devious.

There will be no upward mobility—revolution will be the only way out.

I like it, not everyone does. Helps to have a playlist curated ahead of time.

I really like to match the rhythm of a song in the act, and a few times that has gone exceptionally well in unexpected ways; Tyler's 'Rusty' set a surprisingly good pace with somebody who was definitely not into that style, more of a country music person - I don't think they even heard the song, as they were a little distracted.

On the other hand, I had really great success with Leslie Hall's 'Body Rolls', and would recommend it if y'all are the type for some giggles during the act. Unfortunately, this person really liked that song before but basically can't listen to it now because they found the experience a little too bizarre.

Dude can't even manage to look cool wearing a bulletproof vest in a warzone and working on cybernetic brain implants.
