If his girlfriend or boyfriend or wife or husband sucks his cock, he's probably normal.
If his _followers'_ girlfriends or boyfriends or wives or husbands suck his cock, get worried.
(If he preaches free love and they all suck his cock voluntarily, that still counts.)
If he's paid by someone who gets value for his work, he's probably normal.
the cult leader gets paid by his _followers_.
(If the followers make _donations_ to a charity that employs the cult leader, that still counts.)
Is _that guy_ a cult leader?
This can be evaluated with two relatively straightforward questions:
Who pays his wages?
Who sucks his cock?
(This is sarcastic complaining about Twitter erasing the history of the banned.)
"Trump Tweeted"
No he didn't. Donald Trump does not have a Twitter account. If he did have a Twitter account, we could look at it to see what he tweeted, and when, but he doesn't.
It's important to keep your victim at the right amount of hopelessness.
If they have nothing to lose, they might fight back, or just leave.
You have to give them a tiny sliver of hope occasionally, so they stay invested.
This evening has just been a fractal of stupid fuckery.
Today, in a conversation about cryptocurrency, I discovered that one of my coworkers thinks we're still on the Gold Standard.
(We'll have been off it for 50 years this year.)
For my friends who are right-leaning: which of Trump's accomplishments* are you happy with?
* not promises or talking points, but stuff that he actually got done.
Someone has taken over the URL of a podcast I used to listen to and it's been replaced with something titled "Celebrity Foot Fashion".
You don't have to be a genius to program. You don't have to be a genius to be a professional programmer.
I'm proof of that.
Pondering the difference between useful jargon that lets experts refer to complex concepts quickly, and obscurantist jargon that allows insiders to eject people from the conversation for not dedicating enough time to mastering the lingo.
Of course you get retro 80s aesthetics and gratuitous OVA nudity.
I feel like the team that worked on this really loved it.
It's definitely an artifact from a prior age though.
On the other hand, it's less than an hour long. You could watch it to kill time.
And the elevator scene. I'm no expert, but they must have poured mountains of effort into that.
But it's just outclassed by modern production methods. Moving camera shots are still hard enough that they're a treat today, but the technology had advanced so much it's not funny.
That's pretty much it.
So, what's my takeaway?
Well, this is an OVA from the 1980s, and is exactly what you'd expect from that.
There's nothing here that you need to see, but there's some nice fight choreography and some nice monster chase scenes.
Just before the floor collapses, they are scooped up by an Army helicopter.
The military recover the M-66 and disable it.
In a fit of niceness, the commanding officer lets Sybel go rather than disappearing her.
The incident is covered up as a terrorist bombing.
When they get ahead, the M-66 triggers a partial collapse of the building to get at them.
Scrabbling away, throwing whatever they can get to slow it down, they are left on a slim outcrop.
A mistriggered explosive goes off at the wrong time and the M-66 falls off the building.
