I think it’s the second part of that which was important: he found people who were easily manipulated. People like Squeaky Fromme suffered from mental illness, homelessness, and drug addiction or alcoholism. They were people that Manson could easily pretend to understand and have solutions to all their problems.

To an outside observer who doesn’t have all the issues his Family did, the idea of a Beatles album being a secret message about the apocalypse with instructions on how to survive a coming race war seems completely ludicrous.

Seconding the rec for the You Must Remember This series on Manson.

You're overlooking a huge component which is that one of the defining features of a cult is that members are isolated and broken down. So yeah, Manson recruited vulnerable people that were easier to manipulate and control, but he also isolated and brutalized them into being more biddable and following whatever he said.

He tried the same manipulations on people like Dennis Wilson who had been abused and had problems with drugs and alcohol, but because he couldn't isolate him and brainwash him, Wilson eventually saw Manson as a dangerous maniac and was able to walk away.

It's the allicin in the garlic that's the antibiotic. But you only get the benefits if you eat it raw. Cooked garlic causes the allicin to die and decay into other compounds.

It is also touted as an antifungal, and some women recommend making a garlic clove + string "tampon" to use overnight against yeast infections that resist the OTC creams and such.

Garlic is caustic, do not put it on your vagina overnight. I learned this in the medical thread where a patient put a garlic poultice on his dick. It was ugly.

If you criticize pipelines in any way, you are going to be straight up attacked by dozens of strangers within minutes. I've seen friendships end over pipeline discussion. Saying that maybe you shouldn't put a pipeline through the headwaters that provide drinking water for half the province is enough to get death threats. Even if you say you support pipelines, you'll get attacked for not supporting them enough.



People are insane here. I got attacked visciously as a commie anti-pipeline oval office for suggesting that having a pipeline cut through a national park was not a good idea. I didn't say there should be no pipelines ever, just that national parks should be excluded from paths.

The funniest part to me isn't the onion eating, it's the fact that these dudes seem to believe that by eating onions, they'll become a force to reckon with in the political arena because testosterone.

If you are in/near San Francisco there's a garlic-themed restaurant in North Beach called The Stinking Rose. It's pretty great. It's not a goofy gimmick place it's actually very tastefully done. (The garlic vodka grows on you after a few sips)

To be fair his reaction seems to be a nod of "Not bad" so he may have been asked to do it as a stunt, as opposed to doing it regularly. Also the other guy's expression appears to be "I can't believe he just did that..."

No, former Prime Minister of Australia Tony Abbott was known for eating onions as a sort of parlor trick, and his Attorney General George Brandis was familiar with this stunt.

Raw onion isn't quite as bad as people make it out to be. You can put them in Greek salads and stuff.

Biting into a whole one like an apple isn't particularly tasty but it's also not disgusting. I guess it has a nice crunchy texture?

I don't know if it's customary in France to actually routinely eat onions like apples

Jesus gently caress people put all manner of raw onion in all manner of food all over the globe (except maybe in the US who knows or cares what the gently caress they do with their so-called food) and have done so for thousands of years.

Most people don't eat them whole though, except for the small ones you get in Spring I mean they're so small why bother chopping them up :shrug:.

That said raw onion rules, but mostly when it's cut into pieces and added to dishes and not just chomped into like an apple.

Raw onion and strong blue cheese make a delicious sandwich, but you can't eat one if you're going to be around other people for a few hours. Not sure they'll make you more manly, though. Smelling like you let one rip isn't the same thing as getting ripped.
