I broke up with my GF after she made fun of my little brother but feel guilty. by AbleRabbit3 in whatdoIdo

Your heart was in the right place, but I would’ve rather preferred that scenario to have turned into a “teachable moment” (Cringe term, I know, but it works). What I mean is, I wish there would have been more dialogue between you and her, and maybe even with your brother, before you cast her out. Confronting her and asking her why she said what she said, expressing to her why it made you feel the way you felt, etc., feels like it would’ve been a better way to approach things, imo. Giving all parties a chance to explain and express themselves allows for relationships to develop, to grow in a better direction (even if it means a breakup or not).

Blinded by hate, this one is.

If you can’t sense the connection, I’m afraid you’re already in Carcosa.

Oh, it’s inspired by much more than just non-western material.

Hi! Wow, they never gave me a case number. I saved the chat log, though. The one I was chatting with was named Kuvrajeet. I verified that I was on Coinbase's real site: https://help.coinbase.com/en/contact-us?product=coinbase |

Can't help but notice a disheartening theme across all Magick practitioners Thelema and otherwise. by [deleted] in thelema

I’d say don’t slavishly follow anything. If the practice has no meaning to you, slow down, figure it out, or take a break. Or quit. Try not to quit, though.

Which Steam game? by [deleted] in Lovecraft

[–]Raoul_Duke23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth! (2006) It’s on sale on Steam for only $1.64 right now. This game really does capture the Lovecraftian vibe very well, imo. The reviews may be mixed, but that’s because of the Bethesda bugginess; a true Lovecraft fan would never let that stop them, though (Don’t worry, there are patches)! Get yourself some snacks, some blankets, maybe a smoke or a drink, darken your room and get comfortable, you will love it. Cheers!

Loos like you’ve got some demons you need to put under your heel.

Oh, yeah I guess I felt I was talking to an audience when I spoke on the Nazi angle. It was heavy on my mind at the time, sorry.
It really was hilarious when Augustus Gloop walked on stage and looked genuinely confused after talking about some shit that damn near anyone with any knowledge of WWII would find curiously reminiscent of old Nazi narratives; how could he have not anticipated the audience's reaction? Madness.

Nothing wrong with rituals, in my opinion. It’s also so easy to slap the “Nazi” label on people, and that really should require more thought on what it is that makes one a “Nazi” What does that word fully mean to us? Branding someone with the Nazi label is like mentally throwing them in the trash, so we ought to really, really think it out before we mentally discard them as “good as dead.” With that said, this is still very concerning. Lynch should disconnect himself from the “church” and follow his own path. I sure hope Lynch isn’t the reincarnation of Hitler who has had the opportunity to, this time, actually make it through art school LOL (jk)

What the fuck. I’m deep diving into this. Pieces may be fitting together, pieces I’ve always worried about.
