    This show is still criminally underrated, one of the best written, best researched, best delivered shows on any form of TV. That jeans surprise was the cherry on top though, so funny.

      John usually adds a “where’s Shelley?” to his Scientology bits, which helps keep the “church’a” harsh punishments on the airwaves. This is OK. Much love, John. Much love.

    for those unaware, Beck said he wasn't a Scientologist any more like a year after this season.
    so if you think Beck is a Scientologist from watching this, he's not, and if you're wondering why LWN is wrong about him being one, they weren't at the time.

    • @moogle68
      @moogle68 Месяц назад

      OR, if you DO drain swamps, and then build homes and businesses there, your privilege to then complain about hurricanes and floods has been revoked, and you will be mocked endlessly for your stupidity. If the draining was done more than a decade before your birth, you get a 50% pass on the rule, but are still stupid for complaining about consequences that we have now known would be inevitable for YEARS.

      Have you tried CBD or cannabis, and have you tried keto diets. I know those both sound like woo woo bullshit but keto dieting was originally developed as a treatment for epilepsy. Actually entering ketosis is difficult, the VAST majoroty of keto dieters never actually reach ketosis and that’s probably a good thing, it’s an abnormal metabolic state. But for controlling seizures, a true high fat, medium protein, very low sugar diet can be nearly as effective as benzodiazepines in some patients without the sedation, addiction, withdrawal.
      The FDA has also approved epidiolex, a cannabis based CBD solution for treating epilepsy. But if cost or insurance is an issue, you can buy high quality broad spectrum CBD in bulk from suppliers, mix it with coconut oil in gel caps, and make your own for a fraction of the price. The hard part is finding the right supplier, they all claim to be independently lab tested but there is no oversight or regulation of dietary supplements so you never really know what you’re getting.
      Hope you can find something that works for you, that’s no way to live.

Also--I wonder if the "smarter kids" from "large butts" is because people with larger butts likely have to deal with more BS, learned how to, taught their kids, and are more likely to have had more kids they can handle parenting??? (As in, more likely to have had more kids which is what makes them widen out and body change?? I honestly don't know, lmao.)
    Idk, I feel like it's one of those things that alone is of course absurd, but with some strange context could somehow make sense. Might just be because people with larger butts tend to fall into demographics of people who HAVE to teach their kids better in order to stay safe. . . .
