I would read that horror story. Imagine unexpectedly facing eternity with The Spanish Inquisition, conquistadors, various other brutal imperialist forces and having it presented to you as a rare honor for a lifetime of Christian service. I imagine it like “The Good Place” except it isn’t a comedy.

It’s got the juice!
I laughed at this so hard my voice got raspy.
I feel like this is the correct answer. I remember some people calling them “meemees” though.
That’s how I pronounce it, but I interpreted the post as implying the OP pronounces it “meemee.”
How many other people call them meems?
2·5 days agoThank you. I will cherish this forever.
We need one aligned with the third axis, too.
Leave them alone! They’re just doing yoga!
AOL is my primary. Yahoo and Hotmail are my backups. I am not laughing. This is some CompuServe domain level boomer humor. If you don’t know what that is…good.
It was bank job. They’re safe quackers.
Why is this on shitpost? Not complaining. Just curious. Sometimes the conventions of lemmy elude me, but I want to be on board.
You do you. Enjoy your $0.60 per hour, I guess?
Yeah, it’s explicit, too. It’s stated formally in the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution:

Also, the incarceration rate for black Americans is nearly five times higher than that of white Americans:

Couple that with the image of a corrections officer overseeing farm labor from horseback (I wish I were joking), which includes, but is not limited to, actually picking cotton, and can see exactly what they’re trying to do.

His mother when she insisted he at least try a bite of mashed potatoes before deciding he doesn’t like them after he complained that they’re not paleo. Caveat here: she stopped being an antichrist later that week when he asked for a treat and she let him have one.

His coffee table after he banged his little toe on one of its legs in the middle of the night.
See his new self-help book, if you want to know more:
“Everything I Don’t Like Is an Antichrist: Better Living by Reframing Your Reality as a Dualistic War between Good and Evil in which You Are Always on the Side of Good No Matter What.”
Seriously, though, this guy has no idea what a/the antichrist would be like based on the literature he’s purportedly referencing. He’s not accusing televangelist fraudsters, war criminals, or deceptive, charismatic, powerful world leaders that threaten religious freedom.
Imagine reading/watching The Lord of the Rings and interpreting it as a tragic tale in which the noble protagonist is defeated at the end. That will give a pretty good idea of who he is, what he’s doing, and why.
