If that was CSPAM witch thread I can corroborate Larry's story. The aura was very fragile, OP did not put up enough protective wards from silly words.

I didn't understand the consternation present every time someone said anything mean. Like just ignore the haters. If you can believe in Magicka you can ignore posters, just look at your crystals poster. loving pour a salt circle around your phone and keep scrolling.

It was basically "wow imagine hating women this much" as a response to criticism. No joke, no sarcasm, but a literal belief that dismissing witchcraft as real made you a hard-core colonizer misogynist.

it's hella ironic the same mod who was giving out 3 day probes for pointing out witchcraft isn't real was also posting on page on about how they were planning to make their own cspam themed tarot deck

it's a growing tendency among lifestyle leftists. personally i find it almost more disgusting than being outright racist. it's treating people and their struggles like a trendy fashion.

Stealing art is loving galling. They don't deserve to get doxxed for being a weird witch or whatever. Not that anyone said they did, its just a big saga to try and digest all at once lol. I also find that all of these fake white people witch religions tends to be very Trans exclusionary. There's a serious cottage core to right wing pipeline, because there's always going to be something like that when you reject modernity for traditions that aren't real.

I thought witch stuff was cool when it was just spicy therapy and self betterment then a lot of people who were into it suddenly were like "Jordan Peterson is a warlock we need to circle around, and send our energy" and it was like "ah we are not playing pretend. gently caress."

The word “doxing” is derived from the term “dropping documents.” Doxing is a form of cyberbullying that uses sensitive or secret information, statements, or records for the harassment, exposure, or other exploitation of targeted individuals.

In current news The Mittani of Eve Online resigned amid loving wild confirmed story's that are too fresh for Saga. But the current business went down in the MMOHMO Eve thread posted late June 2022. I love sifting through drama to find a narrative, but this one has been the most alien, tedious, and obfuscated to find first or second hand words for.

But Eve has Sagas. One thread to find them is how the Horn of Goondorgets sound every now and again. It is a kinda of call roster using these forums as a kinda sleeper notification numbers station for manpower requirements. It's been sound a couple times in the past few decades. Ive lost the details for Eve stories but everyone should know that Vilrerat was for real at Benghazi, the original poster who held information that could lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton.

But enough about licenced therapist, we were talking about palm reading and the staaaaars. America is a scam based economy since day one when first land deal was paid for in beads and plague blankets. I'm gonna mourn the passing of this particular old ways and try and keep my Spencers Gifts Novelty Tarot deck on the mantle so my children will recognize astrology, pop psychology, and technical analysis in the same light.

I sure as hell didn't mean to defend scam artists who drape their bullshit and preying on the vulnerable into an extremely online and weird version of new age leftism/anticolonialism/feminism. Thinking on it I also guess it's actually kinda hard to separate scammers who do "psychic labour" from the people who just dabble in some version of new ageism to get some "spiritual" feels since in the end the whole scene thing is so weird and toxic, so w/e, definitely not my hill to die on
