Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
Most of these people I think somehow manage to fail some mental check on internal dialog. Of course our internal dialogs are like "do iiiit!", but most of us recognize that as wrong and ignore it. I think these guys just go "Oh, lord I've been waiting to hear from you again! Oh, I should just do anything I want!? COOL!"
Or they are psychopathic liars taking their congregation for a ride.
I think there are some genuine delusionals in the mix for sure. But yeah, I'd guess that it's mostly psychopathic liars.
The rubes are delusional, the leaders know exactly what they are doing.
I don't know. Becoming the Mask is a real thing people do to cope with the grift.
They all chose "The Dark Urge" playthrough and are failing miserably.
When you go to reload your quicksave, and realize with horror that you haven’t saved in like three hours.
