getting long as well as salty 

@mysidia @ulvra You and I honestly think a lot alike on this and that's a damn good rant you made.

I'm just a bit... fatigued, cynical, but I absolutely agree. And besides the fact that some assholes can try to distort things, they tend to let slip their intentions.

But I think I went well off course what you were intending, and I apologize if I seemed like I was trying to downplay or diminish your idea. That was not my intent, I think you got a good idea going

I'm going to lower my rates for tarot!

For my regular spread (past, present, two futures), I'm asking for $10. For bigger spreads listed here, I'm asking for $15: tarotprophet.com/6-most-common

I will be using the Silicon Dawn, but have other optional decks. DM me if interested!

Religion 

@Azure Even if there was a God, even if he was all powerful, he's still not going to damn well define MY fucking meaning.

@mysidia It also strikes me something:

There's a lot of people whom empathy seems to come naturally to. They construct moral statements like this so people can get along, be happier, work together, be cooperative, and have empathy for those in pain.

But those who don't care about empathy & pain, and only see a short-sighted "us" vs. a more universal love, who develop a very narcissistic view, don't see the value of empathy.

The "rules" become something to exploit.

@mysidia That sounds like empathy right there.

Though even that rule needs a caveat that some wishes are unhealthy and based more in a temporary negative mind-state than something good for one's overall development & future.

But THAT caveat can be exploited to control others.

The worst thing about people willing to hurt others is that they're also willing to twist ethically constructed statements like this.

@Ulfra_Wolfe

Updated rule: "Make an effort to find out what others actually want and do THAT unto them, hoping they will afford you the same courtesy."

@Ulfra_Wolfe

LB: this is *exactly* why the Golden Rule does not work.

It is a great starting point to teach kids about cooperative society, but people need to move past it into having a theory of mind that says "other people often want something VERY different from what I would."

I'll put my motivational advice pups here because they provide such deep truths #art #pups

Hypnosis, hypno-domming & subbing 

@CAPSY That last post of mine was not worded well.

I was trying to say that I'm discovering hypnosis works on people different. Some are extremely suggestible and many are more leery and not as suggestible.

In this case, this was someone that *wants* to be "programmable", it gives her motivation and, well, permission to enjoy herself.
