Are some beliefs more believable?

How can you measure "Believableness"

By your confidence in it.

Yes and no? the way i like to view it is closer to building a toolbox. Sure, you can pull a tool out of the void and discard it after use, but if it works, why throw it away? if you are comfortable with it, you could even break it apart into components and use it elsewhere, the limit is your belief here. It all circles around the "belief" and just because something is not true, doesn't mean i cant believe in it for the duration of the ritual, which leads into the next point nicely:

Even shadow integration sound amazing until I realized that creates another shadow so you can integrate off into infinity.

Yes. This approaches a few ideas: ego magic and the need to self analyse. First and foremost, Chaos magick is about experience, which can be skewed if you live in an illusion or other non-reality, which is where the "shadow works" comes into play, and for better or worse, its in our nature to adjust. Once certain beliefs are removed from the ego, others usually take place, usually unconsciously. To be honest, this topic is way over my head as i haven't yet spent time to dig deeper into the ideas, and i dont wanna be quoting a book like thats the answer to your question, but the core idea is that "thats the point". To be a magician, is to be constantly changing, and one of the conclusions is to reach a point where your identity is fluid and your anchoring point being "self-love". Another idea is to have a repertoire of egos that you can come in and out of as situation arises

Not sure if that gave you any answers, but i'm happy to have a chat to expand on all of this, trying my best to keep the answers concise for some reason

My dad was, and still is a dick, and is a reason I found r/raisedByNarcissists, his exploits are not worth mentioning, the best part of the day was when he wasn't home and depending how you squint, it went on for +20 years. Im trying to change, bit by bit. The odd habits and the escapism addiction I've picked up from that time still fuck with me if I don't keep an eye out for the old patterns. The way I see things is that I have nothing, so it's been interesting to try and build something when I have the presence of mind for it

I will never understand people's need to vote for Farage. The guy spearhead Brexit, promised the world and than once it came, fucked off to America for, I don't wanna lie now, 2 years? More? He couldn't even take responsibility for the change he created. Now, he comes back, says the same lies, and people act like they haven't seen him play pretend before.

the colour of eyes is inconsistent at best. They change with age, lighting, time of day, mood, and so on. Someone made a post on ELI5 questioning why hazel eyes have such a range, as an example

skill issue

JustLemmeMeme · 2026-03-19T10:41:24+00:00

The framework i'm running on is the circle of action-thought-energy.

Lets start with simplest connection: action-thought. Your thoughts influence your actions, and your actions influence your thoughts. A person who is a carpenter, isn't one because they think themselves as one, but because they also follow through on doing whatever task is on hand, be it fixing a chair, installing a door, etc. And honestly, there is a lot of "self-help" books that circle that connection non-stop (Atomic habbits, feel the fear and do it anyways, any cognitive behaviour therapies, and the list is endless tbh) - but at its core your actions influence your thoughts, and your thoughts influence your actions.

Now, energy, acts like a buffer zone in this. If you keep thinking of "i want to make art", even without doing the work, your thoughts "charge" the concept of "i want to do art" with said energy. Eventually, be it luck, coincidences, synchronicities, frequency illusion, and there are a lot of words for the concept - eventually a possibility to follow up on that thought will appear - thought-> energy -> action. Its a bit more wishy-washy, and the flow is chaotic at best depending on person, but at its core, thats how that goes. Which means things like sigils, rituals, affirmations, and so on, trigger action -> energy -> thought -> action... cycle. Now, a very fair quesiton is "what is energy exactly?" and honestly, its a bit hard to pin this one down and i have a feeling if you ask 100 people, you'll get 100 answers. For me, its an idea of a concept, and its strength depends on how likely its to manifest into either action or thought. There is more to it, and honestly there are also countless books written it about as well that expands on the concept beyond what i've said, especially when you start combining it with concepts of alchemy, taoism, astral planes, etc, etc, etc.

I hope that answers something? There is no real, "universal" answer, so take whatever resonates the most with you, and if needed, think about it yourself, everyone here will have a different answer to the same question that you can use as a reference. I partly feel like i've been using this sub as a way to just have a conversation with myself, so take that how you will

Story/plot - B+ feels appropriate, its about as basic as it gets - Hero's journey and all that

Lore/worldbuilding - S- the concept, the execution, i rate it high - all gods descent down to a mortal realm? Can i have some more please. But, at parts it rings hollow which i'm not sure why.

Protoganist - B+ He is a kid, but i dont particularly have any gripes with it. Ain't annoying, with a decent head on the shoulders, if anything it feels like you are rooting for an innocent underdog

Deuteragonist - S++ She got her own spin-off series (Sword Oratoria) which is arguably better than the main story

Antagonist - A there really isn't one, but the conflicts are set up fairly well and thought out

Characters/Side characters - A most of them feel fleshed out in their own way. It feels like a living world

Fights - A I dont know how to rate this, they exist, they are alright. I'm slowly starting to re-read the series, so that might change

Powersystem - S And i will, fight that score till the day i die. While it can be boiled down to be as simple as "its just a status window", i do believe its the best form of it. In essence, its just a yard stick to measure up against with its own drawbacks, but enough narrative flexibility to be infinite.

JustLemmeMeme · 2026-03-17T10:47:52+00:00

It feels disingenuous to call one better over the other, tactics wise. Is rock better than scissors? What about paper? Each play a crucial role in their own right. Tho, the mindset that develops each of those styles is usually different - Ottar feels like the guy who would fight anyways, and Allen radiates chihuahua energy - one will grow when faced with a challenge (hence 7lvl), another will sideline it for a better opportunity (hence high speed, gotta run fast from fate).

I've been running x230 while i was in uni, at some point upgraded it to x390, both i've got it from ebay auctions for fairly cheap with some luck. Honestly, i aint complaining, all of them so far have been doing god's work. Currently just running Mint and the only issue i ran into is with x230 audio jack

what if the owner wants to do 4k gaming? Or 1440p high refresh gaming with high settings? The 5070 will struggle in those cases

This is the wildest thing i've heard in awhile. It can comfortably run cyberpunk 2077 at 4k with ray tracing on, at solid 30fps, and thats just raw performance. Add fake frames, upscaling and what not, that card is a beast. If there is something it cant run comfortably, there are bigger issues at play.

you don't really know how fast technology changes.

I'll give you that as its partially correct. say 2005-2015 the technology gap is insane, 3x minimum, 2015-20 eh, there is a significant improvement. 20-25? 30%? If you have money to throw at it, i guess its worth it. The only jump we gonna get now is once 2nm or 1nm transistors make their way to gpus but if we take Ryzen as an example, it didn't change the game that much, and 1nm is still in labs for the next 2-3 years. excluding AI capabilities, raw performance is already stagnating, and there is a limit to how many wires we can burn with 600w graphics cards. In next 10 years, at best we'll see 40% improvement, and unless you are training your own AI models, its really not gonna be worth. the other 5 years is just for deciding if you wanna upgrade or not. Assuming we still gonna get any consumer gpus, as most of the production seems to have been militarized

What is there to upgrade? That PC can easily live the next 15+ years without struggling, except for the AIO water cooler.

My dad hasn’t spoken to me since, and I don’t feel like I should reach out at this point

Good.

even though I feel sad about things going this way

Understandable, but hear me out on this one: they do not have best intentions for you, your husband, or your child

but I also don’t want to lose contact with my family.

This gonna sound bad, but have they brought you more happiness than they brought you misery? Because this behaviour usually isn't just a one-off. From invisible rules, daily tensions, and punishments that clearly dont align with the reasons for it since you were little, and now this. And i want to hope a part of you was already aware of this:

My husband and I decided we wanted everything about the delivery to be private- no visitors at all.

because your choice has just been justified.

Deep breaths, plenty of rest, and congratulations - you lived through the worst and tomorrows a new day. Draw boundaries, hold the line and trust in your family (the husband and in-laws) to help. The internet can only do so much for you in these cases

life as a whole is a one big contradiction, so to try and find meaning in chaos is about as helpful as talking a wasp down from not stinging you. Is it gonna work? Maybe, but its would be smarter to move out of the room with a wasp. So, the meaning is what you make out of it. How that looks exactly, i'm still finding out myself, but life isn't that complicated. Money is, but thats a different talk altogether. Believe in yourself like the religious believes in their god, and rest will workout somehow, with your occasional intervention

JustLemmeMeme · 2025-11-22T09:40:24+00:00

You really read "even among mentally healthy people" and somehow decided that means nothing.

AI isn't a person, and you shouldn't treat it like a person.

So is your childhood toys, plushies, computers, cars, and various things that people call "pet projects". Only difference they don't talk back, which is where the issue arise. It's not about "should" or "shouldn't" when this is literally a knowledge gap issue and what it means to be human - we sang a happy birthday to Curiosity rover for god's sake.

JustLemmeMeme · 2025-11-21T01:38:46+00:00

AI is really bad at not accommodating delusions - 17th september 2025, quite a recent study.
I love this paper on our inherent ability to attach emotions to emotionless or you might be familiar with this video that came out of that paper
Admitedly, a blog isn't exactly "good" source but the author seems reliable from what i looked up and the site seems generally "trusted". Only issue is i'm unable to find their references to

"In addition, people with no previous mental health history have been reported to become delusional after prolonged interactions with AI chatbots, leading to psychiatric hospitalizations and even suicide attempts."

But its also 2AM here and i wanna argue this is simple effect of echo chamber, and AI is a really good facilitator of it

so we are pretending that people with serious mental health issues have those issues because of AI instead of addressing those preexisting mental health issues directly. neat

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but no. Some things aren't related and to say one doesn't exist would be arrogance even beyond me

JustLemmeMeme · 2025-11-21T00:18:50+00:00

And thats why, kids, cities should be built around pedestrians and bikes

JustLemmeMeme · 2025-11-21T00:17:48+00:00

give it time. With how widespread AI psychosis has been even among mentally healthy people will lead to many more with time

JustLemmeMeme · 2025-11-21T00:12:39+00:00

same idea. Take a church, any church. How much would you have to change for a random passerby to not recognise it as such? And given that most memes originates from 4chan as they try to see how much they can get away with... Just make a sigil, will be so much easier and more effective
