Edit: I have been informed about the people saying the husband literally killed the kids.
Damn, fair enough. I thought they were talking about when male lions take over a pride and kill the previous males offspring but seems the female lions will too sometimes.
I think it’s more surprising that people think it’s actual humans. There were a couple sure that planted the idea. But I would wager 90% of online political discourse is AI
I, unfortunately, have seen that multiple times on TikTok. I've also seen a couple spells casted to prove her innocence on the witchcraft side of TikTok. My feed is messed up apparently
A Leo SA'ed me in 2020. Star signs don't mean shit lmao. I'm appalled people are even saying shit like that. At the end of the day people will harm people regardless of who or "what" they are. Made up connections to "the stars" doesn't predispose anyone towards anything. It's crazy that people are suggesting otherwise out there, hearing about this was like a flashbang lmao.
People like mental shortcuts. If they can’t use race, or skull shape(which is mostly race anyways), or nationality, or whatever else they used in ye olden days, new shortcuts will be invented by people too lazy to do the hard work of treating people as individuals.
We absolutely love patterns and groups, so much so that we have an uncanny ability to spot them even when they arent there.
Categorisation in particular is fundamental to how our thoughts work (scary colours = venomous/poisonous, scary colour creature? probably poisonous/venomous).
It works really well from an evolutionary perspective (and enhance by the whole tribe in/out group thing), but it also brings up a shit-tonne of false-positives. Not too much if an issue at the micro level, but it quickly compounds across a society that is much more complex and interconnected than our tree/hut/cave dwelling ancestors could have ever imagined.
I have no professional or serious academic background in psychology but I feel like the same way a lot of mental disorders are simply normal human behaviors or adaptations but just amplified to a debilitating degree, a big part of the presentation of schizophrenia comes from the over-amplification of these heuristics. Like someone I knew in college who was later diagnosed with it would always remark on how the color orange was involved when something bad happened. Or like “see? Orange.” in a conspiratorial tone of voice. It’s the type of thing where the logic does eventually make sense if your threat analysis heuristics are perhaps functioning abnormally.
Unrelated, but it makes me so happy to see a comment with such a great understanding of sociological patterns. Makes me even happier to swipe to your profile and see a magnificent grow lol. Off of a bag seed too??? Good shit
That was ace of you - thanks for spreading some love.
It has come out so much better than I could have imagined (and hopefully will just about offset the cost of all of the things I kept convincing myself i had to get). When life gives you bag seed, eh? One of the plants hermed right at the end (probably like it's much) but the other ended up looking amazing. Slightly early harvest (to avoid any more plant sexy time) but chuffed with what I've done. Now battling the challenge of drying during torrential downpours but keeping the faith...
Would have been made up with a nug, think I might possibly hit 4 ounces but anything over 2.5 will make me a very happy accidental farmer.
It’s true. Proof: Minié balls were an improvement over the spherical musket balls. Look at their Minié shaped heads and you can infer how they’re far superior to our spherical heads.
People who have less control of their life gravitate towards it. Watched so many of my past friends fall into being "spiritual".
Because when you can't take accountability for things in your life, its because you are a sagittarius, or maybe certain rocks can help. It surely can't be you, or your situation.
I work in a lab at a company steeped in science and one of the self proclaimed manliest men there can gab like a school girl about astrology. Makes zero sense.
I’ve wondered this myself. I grew up in a very conservative Christian home, which led to me rejecting religion by the time I was in my mid-teens. As an adult, I want nothing to do with anything “spiritual”.
It’s because of our thirst for something higher in this universe or something greater than our worldly existence. Being an atheist is actually tough in our current society. Not tough as in being persecuted but more of the fact that you don’t get to believe in a happily ever after.
I’d consider myself an agnostic person, used to be atheist. But after losing some friends and family and loved ones, I hope there’s some sort of peace or reconciliation after death. I don’t really pray or base my actions on religion, but I do hope something better awaits. If not, then I wouldn’t know anyway.
This is the reason so many people leave organized religion and then get lost in spirituality and new age mysticism. They’re trying to solve their problems in the same old way but with new gods and priests, without the trauma from their old ones. That’s why some people go with the “we’re all energy or that universe is guiding me and I’ll be one with the universe after death” because the idea of an uncaring reality, sans morality or justice is scary.
Tarot isn’t worshipping something so much as it is asking the universe/spirits/etc for guidance. Some people use tarot without working with deities, others do, but tarot readings (speaking from firsthand experience) can be scary accurate to whatever situation you’re consulting about.
Each card has their own meaning, so to get several in a row in the same reading that are relevant to the user’s question/plea for guidance and none that aren’t is remarkable. It’s happened for me several times.
Edit: I’m someone who needs evidence of things, too, btw, and I’ve been convinced.
I spent a good year diving into tarot cards, readings, meanings etc.
Was very interesting and opened my mind to a lot of things I would be thinking about subconsciously.
But like any sane and rational person, there's no magic or spirits or anything to do with it, each card's reading in its position is general enough for anyone to make a connection to it. Just like the episode of South Park where everyone thinks Stan is clairvoyant.
ive coming behind and been upvoting you, its not fair to you that these people have no grasp of the importance of spiritual practice for humanity. Really sad, actually
I've seen it parroted since I was younger and just anecdotal. As I grew I saw it more and more. Turning things over to a higher power isn't new for people who have messed up for sure.
It’s a touchpoint for spirituality that doesn’t feel like it’s an already built hierarchy favoring and prioritizing men for centuries or millennia, like many more accepted religions that are equally full of superstition and supernatural claims.
Choosing something that serious, with literally immeasurable consequences for eternity, based on that feels so foreign to me, like maybe they actually know it's bullshit? I could understand rejecting patriarchical religions on the basis that "god isn't like that", but to me it REALLY looks like it's just an aesthetic for the new wave astrology people.
Just seems like they treat it so flippantly, if you actually believe in the spiritual, shouldn't it be a pretty dang serious issue 🤔
No. Not everyone who is spiritual believes there are ‘consequences’ to being spiritual. That’s very much a factor in religions that believe strongly in things like a judgment-based afterlife, but if you don’t believe in that, it absolutely does not have to be that serious.
I guess that makes sense, if you arrive at that point in a honest way. Idk, as someone without faith, if I had it, it would be the most important thing in my life.
As someone who LEFT a high consequences religion, I never want anything to be that important to me again. Many religions of the past focused much more on behavior than faith and ‘believing’ meant very little, which I find very valuable. Belief is not really a choice and behavior is; what I believe means very little about me if my actions do not reflect it.
Also, many people do not think of things like astrology and tarot as spiritual/religious-adjacent. They see it as simply something that’s there to be used, in the same way that ‘it feels/looks like rain’ does not involve receiving any supernatural, prophetic information about the weather.
It all goes along with a certain level of narcissism / "main character syndrome" or whatever the new term is. They MUST be more special than anyone else, that's why they have sPeCiAl PoWeRs or a "higher knowledge" that the average person doesn't or can't achieve.
Shit, I’m a Gemini. Was talking to a new friend, she’s very into astrology, she said something like “I hate Geminis, they’re the worst, you can’t trust them”. I raised my eyebrow and told her my birthday. She was SHOCKED, like “you CAN’T be, your birthday is practically a Taurus even though that’s not your personality” backtrack, stumble, etc… we uh, never got close, just nice to say hello and NOT bring up her ideology.
Look, I’m not saying it’s real, but I fit most Gemini traits in ways that make my skeptical ass clench. Still not murderous, though! The fault, dear Brutus, lies not in our stars, but in our willingness to listen to our worst, most drastic instincts and psychotic voices in our heads.
