Funnily enough , the name blade runner came from another scifi book about smugglers , who smuggle medical supplies so blade runner makes sense . Ridley Scott and the writer just liked the name and coopted it for their film because it sounded cool . <| sep |> This is borderline abuse , you need to find a vet for this bird asap . Isn ' t the bird In a cage ? Or a travel cage ? <| sep |> What bitch <| sep |> SO MUCH SALT AND IT IS FAAAAANTASTIC <| sep |> It ' s a cult with a lot of money at their disposal thanks to their victims . They bombarded the IRS with lawsuits against the individual workers and the IRS as a whole to the point that the IRS was willing to brand them as a religion for tax purposes . They did this so that Hubbard and prominent church members could avoid going bankrupt and possible prison time . Not to mention all the money to be made from not paying taxes . They even had a name for the operation to hassle the IRS . it was a successful mission for the church . They talk about this is the HBO documentary Going Clear . In addition , they terrorize the customersfollowers when they try to leave the church , force them to pay a lot of money to find out more about the religion that Hubbard made up , shun family members that see through their scam and isolate them , black mail members into staying with personal and embarrassing information gleaned from intimidation tactics , force the Sea Org members into slavery , take young children from their parents and force them to join Sea Org to do their bidding . It ' s a terrifying cult .
