He's Vasherposting

Guy is close to retirement age, at level 3. At level 7, his skeletal system will no longer need him... because he'll be long gone.

I feel really bad for Tom Cruise. From what I heard, he is genuinely a nice person and he loves his craft, but I can tell deep down that he's lonely and insecure. Lonely people tend to be easy preys for cults.

He's also Gay and trying to hide it. Scientology hunts for those people, and exploits their fear of discovery. Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Will Smith, etc.

repressed homosexuals among actors? now i've heard everything

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 16 hours ago

Every one of those guys started in the 70s and 80s, when that sort of thing would have a major impact on your acting career.

This isn't some new idea, there has been talk about these guys being blackmailed by Scientology for many years.

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

will smith got married and had kids just to maintain the illusion he's not gay?

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

It's called a "beard"

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 14 hours ago

So did Cruise and Travolta. That's been pretty common for Hollywood since the beginning.

Afaik OTVIII is still the highest, no 9 yet (though there "are" 15, only 7 were released before ol' Lafayette Hubbard died.)

Of course, it only comes with the power of being further scammed by the "church."

I prefer to be scammed by a better church, one that admits to scamming! At least "Bob" is honest! Plus they condone my degeneracy and preach radical insanity, win win. To find out more about The Church of the SubGenius write to "Bob" at P.O. Box 807 Glen Rose, TX 76043. Send $3 and ask for the pamphlet. You'll pay to know what you really think!

I know you admitted it to be a scam but is it a pyramid scheme? Because a pyramid is only a scam when you are at the bottom

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Benefiting from a scam doesn't mean it's not a scam it means you run the scam

[–] hypnicjerk@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

you could also be a useful idiot

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 17 hours ago

You're using the language of losers. It's only a scam if I lose. Otherwise it's a great business model

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 19 hours ago

Well kinda sorta but not really. Our great guru "Bob" is dead (some say otherwise, but,) his successor Rev. Ivan Stang is the current Sacred Scribe (#273). He is getting older, but when he boards the Saucers early he is handing The Church to Rev. Onan Canobite who has been with the church since like 1984 (he also runs our mastodon instance, dobbs.town).

I think that guy is on a mission that is not possible.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The levels are bullshit. Like, you can just pay to advance levels? Scientology is P2W garbage.

[–] Naz@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

"And with that latest payment of two million caps, you're officially the highest rated Scientologist, you're now Level 15, which is an even higher rank than I am!

You're positively, and completely clear!"

"Okay and now what?"

"Well, I thought you would know, most clear one"

(I console cheated the money in, but realistically, you ought to figure out it's a scam by the 100 caps mark)

(Quick loading and blasting them all is completely valid IMO)

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Except level 6, where you gain the ability to eat a ghost. But the rest is bullshit.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

At what level do the aliens kidnap you, and take you off this world?

Asking for a friend.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

They don't! You just find out about Xenu and the shit we already know.

The UFO cult with an exit plan is actually The Church of the SubGenius, on X-Day (July 5th, 1998 which hasn't happened yet clearly, we only think it has because The Conspiracy has fudged the calendars in a futile attempt to thwart us), the X-ists (the good aliens) will come Rupture the faithful dues paying SubGenii unto the PleasureSaucers while they harvest the rest of the planet for parts. Eternal Salvation or TRIPLE your money back! Write to "Bob" at P.O Box 807 Glen Rose, TX 76043, send $3 and ask for the pamphlet to learn more!

Please don't make up fake colors

[–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I had a legit argument with my FIL about puce being a color. He still doesn't believe it.

[–] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

It's from the French word for flea. It's the colour of a flea filled with blood.

[–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 hour ago

TIL, thanks for the etymology/entomology!

[–] PwnTra1n@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I hope at level 9 he is turned into ash
