Company affirmations and cheerleading. Things like that. And they would browbeat employees. Massive social pressure to conform and to make the company part of your identity.

Nope, "cult" is not too strong a word. Those are cult tactics.

Public knowledge vs. common knowledge. They want to prevent it from being the latter.

They want land. They will murder to get it.

And children and teens groomed and assaulted.

Does that mean they don't (or can't) steal information when you're screen casting?

We really don't.

I wonder if it's because 2-year-olds are usually pretty noisy, so when they've fallen asleep, it's easier to forget that they're even back there.

If Ruby's guess near the end is right, the whole point of her being there, haunting her, making people run away, was to make specifically this one man run away in terror, and there's no way whatever that was had anything to do with anyone else abandoning Ruby. She simply says something so terrifying that people run away, that's it, it doesn't matter what exactly, and it doesn't even have to be the same thing for everyone.

Which makes me think that perhaps it's like psychic paper: she could say anything (or even nothing), and the experience would be the most horrifying, disgusting, or terrifying thing to the listener, enough to drive them away from Ruby forever.

I have a theory that they were reinforcing, for the much younger crowd, that these were special babies who were very capable and independent in ways in which regular babies are not.

Which would be pretty ironic because she was apparently the only one of the other actors who was nice to Judy Garland.

He also played a pretty convincing psychopath in Secret Smile.

It's been a while since I've watched, too, but I remember this part because most people misunderstood her motives for cheating, and I've had to explain it before. Walter had shown her, at this point, how awful he was and he had also made it clear that she was stuck with him, doing whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted, and that he wouldn't leave and she couldn't leave. She was trapped with him. The cheating was a chess-move, a deliberate choice to make him leave, because it was the only way she could make him.
