Huh, so I literally could set up a church to myself. And get money out of it. Tax-free.

It's not available in my country
Could you give a summary?

"Lupus, bow in the name of Jesus! Lupus, you go away!"

Basically US tax code says that churches are basically tax free in every which way, and there are no real requirements for setting yourself up as a church. Oliver then goes on to basically register himself as a church whose creed is that they are getting exempted from taxes, and goes on to do his usual jokes. It also covers how there are plenty of large televangelists abusing this and the idea of "seed" prayer (where you give money in the hopes of somehow getting it back), to essentially steal tremendous amounts of money from those in need, all tax free.

The thing they worship is called 'Our Lady of Eternal Excemption'.

Hey, I watched that earlier. It was a good episode (you should call the number).

The most fucked up example he showed was a preacher promising that making huge donations to his church was the best way to get out of credit card debt. Rather than paying your bills with your money, you should give him a thousand dollars to prove your devotion and God will ensure your debts are forgiven.

It's one of those things that would be way funnier if it didn't work.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

If you call the number you get a prerecorded message of him screaming at you to give him money

My aunt used mayonnaise... as an ingredient in pancakes. No, she used mayonnaise as an ingredient instead of eggs because she didn't have any left. No, no, she made mayocakes, tried them and found out they were terrible, and gave them to her son thinking he wouldn't know the difference. No, no, no, she gave her son maycakes, and he actually didn't know the difference. Sometimes I feel ashamed of my family.

Also, I'm a firm believer that mayo is the Anti-Christ.

Eating mayo is little better than slathering bread with crisco and eating it.

My mom wants me to start talking to problem player again. Given that the last conversation was several weeks ago, in an MMO, with me sitting in awkward silence as he talked for more than an hour about how much he wanted to fuck my 'toon in disturbing amounts of detail, I'm not too keen on talking to him again.

And my mom's coworker is being a sociopath again. Demanded that she be brought to a bank in a town over. My mom refused, and brought her to a nearby bank of the same company. She got pissy, went into the bank anyways, only to immediately turn around and came back out the bank crying saying to my mom that they won't do what she wanted to do at that branch. The doors are goddamn glass, my mom knows she didn't talk to any of the workers in there. She said that they told her that the other bank would help do whatever it is she wanted to do, but my mom didn't take her.

It was also recently discovered that she does not own a house. She usually uses her being a single-parent who owns her own house and supposedly never has money to spare as one of her crutches to beg for money. Now we know that she's renting from a friend who isn't making her pay much more than peanuts. Lying lunatic.

Why on earth is your mom even involved to any degree whatsoever?

Progress!

And yeah, that's a little weird.

'Cuz he's my friend. I've known him since eighth grade.

[pisskop]

but you aren't responisble for his delinquency?

[Frumple]

Is shame hormones have apparently driven him insane. Good reason not to talk to 'im, though.

Maybe inform parent (ex)friend has become dong-driven mess to a significantly uncomfortable degree?

[BlackFlyme]

I've mentioned that he is a bit of a child already. Mentioned the Magical Realm he made us play through as well.

Generally speaking, when someone opens up with "no homo, but", you might not want to hear what they are about to say.

No homo but that's totally gay
