Shownotes Transcript

Well, hello, Neighbor! Amanda (The Peaches) is back, and boy has she missed you!  Really, she's the Brett Cooper of the Fight Laugh Feast Network. 

After a long hiatus, we're back at the kitchen table and trying desperately to organize all our many, many thoughts.

Let's talk about those anonymously-run Facebook groups that exist solely to "call out" a particular person or organization.  There's something unhealthy about spending* all your time* thinking and talking about the so-called sins of a particular individual. That's the sort of obsession that tends to make a person crazy--which could explain how, after a few years, they may end up doxxing a teenaged boy and not realizing how insane that looks to normal people. 

Later:  John has spent many days attracting hate comments on social media (hundreds of them) because he just keeps repeating his belief that children should not be groomed with sexually explicit material at their government school...   John's posts are, of course, ridiculous because there has never been any sexually explicit material found in ANY government school--and also, taking away the sexually explicit material that minors NEEEEEEEED to access in school would be Fascism. 

Finally:  The topic of New Ageism and Occult practices just keeps popping up. Did you know where the term "hoodwinked" came from, Pkarlgh?  How could a person POSSIBLY be messing with Ouija boards and crystals and shakras and spell-casting and trying to make contact with dead people and STILL think she's a "Christian?"  Great question!
