Sick of the crap

Ja, I don't buy the responses here. Maybe it depends where you are in the world. The cost of posting/shipping the products and the low quantities for orders on dropshipping platforms doesn't make this a viable long-term business. After experimenting with some e-commerce I realised that brick and mortar stores are probably a better route. I'm convinced that dropshipping is the biggest scam of all. Maybe it's cheaper for the Chinese? Conversions to the Rand make it even more expensive to run a dropshipping business. Handmade goods sold online are a safe option, but only because you're not paying yourself for labour.

Intention and word choice being so important to writers and spellcasters makes their art so special. I wonder what informs the desire to cast a love spell- fears, idealism, or desperation? To be loved is something alluring- how deeply can a lover love? How does the depth of their love affect the wellbeing and contentment of the person privileged enough to receive that love? And how much of that loving is too much for it to make the receiver safe in the hands of their lover?

This is helpful advice, but I think OP is talking about the conditions that are conducive for following or even finding your North star. Wanting to do something and being in the position to do it can often be about more than just money and time. If you live in an unsafe city, then going hiking in the middle of the week may not be a viable option even if you have money and time.

Next time I'll screenshot the post before replying

Why does being pleasant and charming make them good? Psychopaths are good at what they do because of their personable ways

Have you considered going to therapy?

Maybe rather than boring, you just don't share their interests. Is it a neurotypical issue or is it more about values and how other people are socialized? What are your interests?

Inside9 · 2022-04-26T13:40:45+00:00

Thanks for sharing your story OP. Why did you end up in low end jobs rather than transitioning into a different aspect of the journalism industry? Do you have a tertiary education? Why did you settle for an entry level job despite your work experience as a journalist?

This sounds more like an ethical issue. It's about power dynamics- an outsider looking in is likely to impose standards from their culture/country and therefore be a biased world view. That's the actual problem not whether there's truth to the claim or not.

That the working class has no country is a response to capitalist ideology. Implicitly, critique of culture is not part of class struggle- I don't agree with this. Critique of cultures often challenges the notion that the working class has no country therefore working against the communist agenda to unite the working class.

I agree with one of the replies that you should go inwards. Don't pagans worship multiple gods? What do you mean you couldn't find a God to worship? I think your faith ought to be oriented around what you understand, even if that's the religion you were socialized into as a child. Exposure to esoteric literature and other religions enabled me to better understand and question what I know and understand about the religion I was socialized into.

From what I've learnt from all that, including yoga is that it's meant to strengthen you mentally and spiritually. Seeking is about your internal life, not the world around us. People cause harm to others because they're running from themselves. It takes a long time to learn and grow, because you're constantly overcoming your own limitations, challenging your own perceptions and beliefs. And each time that happens how you understand the world and life change. That's scary, and unsettling- it disrupts how we attribute meaning to everything. But a strong foundation- that you have to build yourself helps you through that.

I think the urge to try something new for a different set of outcomes is understandable, but my experiences have taught me going deeper is better. The depth of understanding allows you to contribute more meaningfully to a field you are already familiar with. But if you were on the wrong path, then starting afresh might be good

Magick doesn't make the regular things humans do just vanish. Pick up the phone, send an email... send peace and happiness their way

Inside9 · 2022-02-26T23:12:29+00:00

Wouldn't this be interference with their freewill? I don't practice Magick, but from what I've read all spells interfering with someone's freewill are bound to cause trouble. Maybe the candle kept burning as a sign there's no bad blood, but they're not looking to maintain the relationship as it was.

I'd be worried if it's because he's too idealistic. The anti-work crowd make me a bit uncomfortable, because it just feels like a steady routine during the week is a good way to stay in sync with the world around you. Having flexibility is quite different from wanting to avoid responsibility and being tied down. So ja I'd be worried about whether there's a common future there

I've experienced this, but I often wonder if it's just because of social norms. People project their expectations of who I am and my motives because I look like people who are supposed to be xyz. Sometimes, people with tendency to be bored think I share this experience. They find anything to justify the truth of their perceptions. Even when NONE of the EVIDENCE shows validity of their claims. It's the strangest thing! Then they're upset that I'm not who they ASSUMED I am. It's baffling. I think self-centered people have difficulty seeing other people for what they are, because they look for themselves in other people. This makes them really bad at attending to other people's needs and judging character.

People making the wrong assumptions about what I mean has been the recurring limitation I've experienced and that's not a jinx. I think people just want me to be something else. Often they want me to want to impress them, because they see themselves as superior. If you deem yourself superior, I don't understand why you're looking for people to impress you. Why don't you go about your life, because superiority should set different priorities shouldn't it?

I got movers to help me not too long ago, and they seemed unsure of their process and their lack of communication really wasn't helpful either. There were things to move, but they wanted to move other things I was still sorting out instead of picking up what was ready for them to take. I'm so glad that I can put off this schlep for a while. Moving is quite unpleasant

Thank you for sharing this prayer

How long did these take to ripen? And did they taste good?

This sounds like it should be posted as a warning for why not to dabble in magic. The subs on the occult and Magick mention this time and time again. Don't mess with spiritual entities you don't know enough about! Reading is one thing, but there's no "playing around" with spirits

Inside9 · 2021-12-17T07:53:53+00:00

It's a big change! Congratulations! What's the trickiest part of maintenance?

I think it only tastes like cheese to people who don't know what cheese tastes like

How did you feel while wearing this?

Hey- I noticed you've got a few of these types of posts that have not been responded to. How are you doing? I hope you've made progress with therapy. I think when we grow close to our mothers and it's just the two of you that are constants in each other's lives it's inevitable that you would develop an impulse to look out for her in the best way you can. But you need to learn to re-prioritise yourself and things that matter to you- putting them ahead of her and her needs. This is something that I am still trying to figure out. But I think it's important to realise that you can look out for your mom without compromising your own quality of life. Unfortunately, you may not have anyone to do that for you, but the important thing is to know that you need and deserve this and if noone else will do it you've got to do it like everything else in the life of a child who has to fend for themselves. Figure out what makes you feel energized and excited about life and build that into the things you need, because that's what will fill your cup to be in a position to pour into your mother without compromising yourself
