    For real. Something that blew my mind though… years after the Spacey thing I finally saw the face of the person who made the accusations against him first.

    When I first heard the accusations I had no idea who the person was.

    But after watching Star Trek: Discovery for a couple years, I was floored to find out that Stamets was the one who called out Kevin Spacey. My favorite Trek character called out my former favorite actor and ruined his career.

        You’re aight if you don’t click the disambiguation link

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_it_forward

        I think we can keep Pay It Forward, I don’t think I knew it was a film much less an abuser-starring film.

        The concept is old, but the particular phrase may have been coined by Lily Hardy Hammond in her 1916 book In the Garden of Delight. Robert Heinlein’s 1951 novel Between Planets helped popularize the phrase.
