Just keep doing it. One of the easier ways to get “good” at it is to learn the symbolism for the cards, rather than remembering specific meanings for each card. Colors, various objects, directions peoples face, animals, numerology, astrology, and the MBTI all come into play.
I’m saying this as someone who believes in none of this, I just think it’s fun. I have my notes somewhere, I can upload them later if there’s interest
Here is legitimately how I did it, no exaggeration. I sent the following message to all of the contacts I wanted to keep (or something similar, I don’t have access to the message anymore):
“Hey, I’m leaving Facebook permanently. I only use the chat function anyway, and I don’t want to use it given their business practices. Here’s my phone number, email, signal, and XMPP. Pick one, I don’t care which.”
And then I logged off for a month, logged back on, and deleted my account. I wasn’t sure if they’d still get the message if I deleted my account after, plus I have ADHD and wanted to give myself a chance to remember anyone else I wanted to keep in touch with. I lost one person in the move, and they weren’t someone I talked to that often anyway.
The earlier videos from Ember’s Ghost Squad on YouTube. Largely innocuous videos from a fan of a Danny Phantom character who would end up committing a mass shooting at their job.
Yoteslaya as well. Didn’t commit a mass shooting, but suddenly stopped uploading, and it came out that they ended up playing chicken with a train, and losing. Iirc there were 4 people in the car?
Former insurance agent here (personal lines, so I never dealt with churches, but still)
They almost certainly are. Liability insurance usually excludes intentional harm (including sexual assault of any kind), however there are usually ways to acquire coverage for those intentional actions. On a personal level, umbrella coverage will provide it.
They likely don’t sell specific “Pastor sexually abusing a child coverage”, that button is more there for the victims/their parents to have an easier time filing a claim. Helpful, but depressing.
That’s… Kind of hard to say, since I follow someone who posts strange, and disquieting things online, on purpose, for fun. The one that most people would probably consider the strangest is someone casually posting online that the arteries of people with heart disease have roughly the same texture as the candy Nerds Rope
Editing because I just realized you were the person I responded to:
Hey I have a question. How were you criticizing me? Because that sounds like you’re accusing me of being a Nazi when the only actual evidence you have of that is me not liking when people throw Nazi concepts out online. Because unless you were criticizing me specifically that logical fallacy doesn’t apply.
Not a Nazi
Degenerate
You’re using concepts the Nazis used heavily in the same way that they did, just against them. You might want to interrogate that.
Even with people using more than they need we still overproduce by an alarming amount. Also someone wearing 5 shirts a day doesn’t contribute that much to consumption, just extra laundry detergent, which is a resource that can be stockpiled for a long time.
There are a lot of ways that we do over consume, though many of them just… Do kind of go away when we’re not run ragged constantly. Don’t need to buy shinies to numb the pain when the pain is gone, y’know?
A lot of overconsumption is fueled by industries doing it on purpose, too, clothing being a prime example of that. Clothes used to last, but that’s not as profitable as making things without enough seam allowance to alter them, and making them out of cloth so bad it falls apart if you even think of wearing it anyway.
Some of it is definitely personal choice, but I’d wager that most of it is down to the second one, with a runner-up being the first.
I don’t personally find anything listed to be believable in any capacity. I do it as a writing prompt generator, more or less, and the more things you throw into it the more detailed it gets.
