  • Sadly there were Nazis in the US government before and during WW2.

    The Dullas brothers are the prime examples. They spearheaded operation paperclip, which rescued Nazi scientists and moved them to the US.

    The Dullas brothers are the reason why the US loved arming South American dictators from the 50s onward.

    They also pulled a Japanese war criminal out of prison and put him in power in post war Japan.









  • That was the same timeframe where ol Vincent was testifying in front of Congress that wrestling was completely fake and didn’t need to be regulated like an actual sport, no need for drug testing or safety equipment because it’s all fake right?

    And the Congress critters are it all up. Never acknowledging that while the ending is predetermined, the path to get there is still incredibly physically demanding and a mistake could result in actual injury or death.









  • Vegeta killed Yamcha once, and Buu killed him a second time.

    Technically it wasn’t even Vegeta, it was just the little green men that Vegeta and Nappa had seeds for.

    Krillian was actually alive to see that death.

    As for the death by Buu, that was being turned to chocolate and then being eaten.

    Krillian still has him beat on number of deaths, picking up an extra death on planet Namak.


  • Is the leader alive or not? Alive is likely a cult, dead is usually religion.

    The next question is how isolated from friends and family or society at large are the members. More isolated is more likely to be a cult.

    Other than that, there’s not much difference.

    The usual setup is a cult is formed and then the second or third leader opens things up a bit and transitions it into just another religion… But sometimes a cult can be born from a religion as a small group breaks off to follow a charismatic leader.


  • Honestly, the orange soda that we think of might be Crush, which debuted in 1911.

    Tang would also like a word.

    But really, the most popular orange based drink, is just orange juice. That or Mountain Dew, which is lemon, lime, and orange plus lots of sugar and caffeine.
