Guess he was really leaning into the whole "impersonating a police officer" thing.

This is some 4Chan Q drop level BS.

Fake: Anon puts a (Rec) light and battery indicator in the corner of the video and starts it with static glitch effect.

Gay: Anon thinks we want to look at his edgy cosplay rather than the actual incriminating documents.

It's not censorship. It's just what happens to any platform run by a publicly traded company whose customers are the advertisers and whose users are the product.

Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines (RTLM) (Kinyarwanda: Radiyo yigenga y'imisozi igihumbi), nicknamed "Radio Genocide" or "Hutu Power Radio", was a Rwandan radio station which broadcast from July 8, 1993, to July 31, 1994. It played a significant role in inciting the Rwandan genocide that took place from April to July 1994, and has been described by some scholars as having been a de facto arm of the Hutu regime in Rwanda.[1]

I feel exactly as much sympathy for anyone using the Meta AI app as I do for anyone whose new Cybertruck fell apart.

I'll answer your question with two more questions:

What's the opposite of a rat king? What's the opposite of an ant mill?

Also I have to question your whole premise of the relationship between religion and cult. Where a cult is the bad kind of something and a religion is the neutral, default kind.

A religion is just the final form of a successful cult that got big enough and old enough that it no longer needs to take the drastic "cult-like" measures to restrict its members and separate them from society- because it has thoroughly infiltrated and colonizied that society to such an extent that being born into that society is enough.

It looks like there are two chambers and the smoke goes from the bowl into the top one first, then down into the beans, and it's just not clear by the picture how it gets from the bottom chamber to the mouthpiece.
