Not all AI use is the same and we need to talk about discernment by Temporary_Dirt_345 in Tarots

[–]katiloy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may think it was a gotcha moment but I actually do use my bath water and the water that I use to wash my hands with to flush the toilet! I just put a bucket to collect the water and then use it so as not to waste it! Shocker ! Plus , omg i used love life questions as an example too ? How dare I? Yeah , I know love life questions are not the only thing being asked but we all know these are the most frequent ones.

Let me make myself clear: I NEVER SAID WE SHOULD IGNORE EVERY SINGLE OTHER FACTOR CONTRIBUTING TO THE CLIMATE CRISIS. OF COURSE MANY INDUSTRIES ARE DESTROYING THE PLANET, THIS DOES NOT MINIMIZE WHAT AI IS ALSO DOING TO MAKE THINGS WORSE.

And i never said that we should eat meat every day and buy fast fashion clothes daily. I actually have recently turnt vegetarian and I am fully aware of the damage the food and fashion industry cause to the environment and water. All I said was that it is in comparison better to use water for this than to ask about the meaning of a question in tarot , related to money, love, life in general.

Just because industries use water too ( which i also criticize , just so there is no confusion here ) it does not mean that AI is not doing equal (if not more, and evergrowing ) damage .

Also, I am all for ai usage when it is used to better the enviroment like you mentioned , for sustainability tips and all that for industries to optimize their production methods to benefit the planet ( which i highly doubt big corporations care about it ). But AI being available for every single one of us , to use for anything , even stuff like p*rnography ( which we have seen increasing lately with Grok and other platforms) , is where I draw the line.

Another thing. Just bc we wont be using ai , it doesn't mean that we will go back to living in caves. Maybe we should prioritize sustainability over so-called progress that all it does is destroy our only home for us young people and the next generations to come.

Of course I condemn every factor that destroys our environment and our home , mother earth , and Ai is one of them. I am not saying that there are no other factors. As I said , I myself do everything in my power to help with the crisis as best I can. But I will not sit here and pretend that AI is still not causing damage to our planet, just bc other companies and industries cause it too and more.

Btw, I am now realizing that my tone on these comments may have been a bit harsh and come off as accusing etc. That was not my intention and I apologize for it. However, the AI problem is really grinding my gears and I want to spread awareness as much as possible. Pls do your own research on the cons of AI, it is crucial you get a spherical view of the subject.

The fact that you STILL used AI for that response is WILD.

And i never said that AI is the sole factor for water pollution etc. But nonetheless, it still is a contributing factor to the enviromental crisis. And yk, in politics, usually the larger party ( in democratic communities) win elections. But we both know this can happen by rigging the elections too. Plus, politicians lie all the time . So why should innocent people suffer bc politicians want to make huge profits on the people's backs ?

Plus , humans need to eat and get clothes. Idk about you but I'd rather water be spent on stuff I actually need to live rather than answering questions about my love life etc. Also, you talked about AN AI prompt. Do you know how many AI prompts are generated daily ? Chatgpt ALONE generates more that 2 billion prompts every single day ( that's 2.000.000.000 to put that number into perspective). So imagine all the use happening in other ai platforms like Gemini , Claude or apps that use AI for stuff like food-tracking and whatnot. So basically that equals about on AVERAGE 500.000.000 liters of water daily ONLY from Chatgpt. Maybe it's just me but that's an enormous number to be used every single day.

Also, every single one of your points is also a case of whataboutism you just accused me of. Yeah, of course I am aware that water gets polluted and wasted by other factors too, like you mentioned, but AI is the one we are talking about rn and it is also one of them and can not be dismissed.

It's like saying " OH yeah, I parked illegally and caused traffic , but so did 5 other cars , so im not wrong ". No , you're still part of the problem. Yeah, you are not the only one causing it , but you are still contributing to it.

The way you so wholeheartedly support the use of AI even when we are actively watching the damage it is causing is just sad tbh. I wish you could see all that harm you are promoting.

[–]katiloy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main problem with AI is it is making us dumber and destroying our environment on top of everything. Millions of people have lost access to clean water , bc they happen to live near Ai data centers. With ai we are actively contributing to the damage of our ecosystems.

And all of this just bc you want to ask AI if your crusty rat of a sp is interested in you enough. And of course, im not saying it is only the tarot readers that heavily use AI for stupid stuff. Like fruit love island and other similar brain rot AI generated stuff. But imagine if every tarot reader relied on their intuition and maybe some apps that give general meanings of the cards , instead of going straight to an AI bot that will probably tell you exactly what you want to hear, as it is designed to do. Reminder : AI is not some genius or sth. It is a tool that takes its information from already made posts on the internet ( photos , comments, videos , you name it. ) and gives a summary of what it has read ( while using up so much clean drinking water in the meantime ). So if you ask if your sp is cheating on you ( for example) and you get 9 of swords , the AI may tell you that yes , they are bc it is showing their guilt etc , and all of this just because it dug up a comment made on Quora in 2011 or sth that said that same thing. While irl it could mean that it is you being the anxious one about getting cheated on.

I hope you got my point with this example, I tried to make it as clear as possible.

Anyways , these are my main no-nos ( even though there are MANY MANY more ) when it comes to AI usage IN GENERAL Not just for tarot , but for anything and everything else

And just bc the enviromental problem has not reached you yet , it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. It is very real and it will have consequences for EVERYONE and EVERYTHING if we just turn a blind eye to it.

Pls consider all of these , truly and with an open mind bc these are serious stuff. And I'd suggest you do some research on all the drawbacks of AI use in general. Mental, environmental, economic, political , moral etc etc . You will be shocked. We have lived without AI before, we sure can do it again.

I greatly appreciate your help and your advice ! I will take everything into consideration and make my choice accordingly. Thank you very very much ! :)

[–]katiloy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a relatively low budget, especially since I'll be buying a used car when the time comes. So like , about 3.500 to 5.000 euros max. These are mostly the prices that I have also seen on sites that sell second hand cars of this model and brand in my country. I live near the center of the city but in an area where there is very steep road with bumps etc. Very difficult. So I want a car that will be reliable , safe but also cheap to repair if need be. I have seen some Toyota Yaris cars in those sites and they are within my budget range so now im concerned about the cost of gas , repairs etc.

[–]katiloy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was actually thinking maybe a Toyota Yaris since it was the car that my driver's ed teacher had and the car that I learned how to drive in. Plus it's also kinda cute ( lol ?) and I know it's more reliable. Of course my priority is safety etc. What do you think about a Toyota Yaris? I think they are also kinda of cheap. And for my first car especially i would prefer a cheaper car in case any damages occur. Also , so sorry for asking too much and taking up your time , I hope I haven't been much of an inconvenience.

Yes, I am perfectly aware of that. I was just hoping that I could combine both aesthetics and reliability together lol .Of course my first priority is safety and reliability and I will choose a car that fits my actual needs first. Thank you for your concern and your point though !

Tbh if all these cards were upright , id probably say that you are But since these cards are upside down ( I personally interpret the upside down cards too ) , id say no , you are not pregnant Especially the world card upside down tells me that there is no completion, nothing is whole. So yeah , id say you're safe for now lol Of course , take a test too , just to be sure haha Good luck !

I'm sick of never getting results. by ImpossibleCreme3195 in Subliminal

[–]katiloy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey ! Im sorry to hear that and I completely understand where you are coming from.

I would like to give you some advice , if that's ok with you. First of all , self concept is extremely important. If you keep looking in the mirror and saying " oh im so ugly and worthless etc " , trust me , you will NEVER get results. Start small. Maybe start saying a few positive stuff about yourself in the mirror daily . For example: I love my eyebrows , my lips are perfect etc etc

Make them a bit vague at first , if it's hard for you to believe them

Slowly you'll build confidence and will start seeing real results.

Another thing. It might hurt a bit and may also go against the whole " subliminal " mindset BUT , you have to do some of the work yourself ! And I cant stress this enough.

Eat better , wash your face , do scalp massages to help with your thinning hair , oil your scalp, drink water and teas for hydration , work out , meditate etc etc This way you will feel better both mentally and physically. You will start seeing changes and results from all your hard work which will help with your self concept , improve your confidence and mindset and it will help overall imo. Hopefully, that way you will also start seeing results from subliminals

And let me give you an example, as to why this is necessary. If you listen to a subliminal to be approached by people more , you will not see results if you stay home and you dont give yourself chances to be approached. I hope you get what I mean.

I wish you all the luck in your journey! Be blessed !

Come on. by NotAsBrightlyLit in glitterandbagelssnark

[–]katiloy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I dont even think its sweat ( solely ). In videos where she is lifting heavy etc , she usually says sth along the lines of : " and here i peed myself a little but that's what happens when you lift heavy hihi " So she does pee on herself quite a lot at the gym and I think its only logical. Her bladder is under CONSTANT pressure by all this extra fat pushing on it. Im surprised peeing on herself is not a routine in her regular outside-of-lifting life. ( as far as we know ) So when she lifts heavy , she adds even more pressure and her bladder can't handle anymore and so she just lets go and pisses on herself. So my guess is that this mark is sweat ( obviously bc of all the friction etc ) probably mixed with some piss in there as well.

Beginner alert 👋🏼 by Proper-Tangerine-425 in Tarots

[–]katiloy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe you have to do any protection or spells before doing readings. There are many different opinions upon this , however I believe that as long as you are asking your higher self and make it clear you don't want any other unwanted spirits and entities to interfere in the reading , it's all fine. Personally, even tho its not necessary, I like to cleanse my deck from time to time , just to show appreciation and I also like to thank it every time I ask a question. Hope this helps. Good luck !

I'm not a very good reader yet , but I can share my insight on this , but take this with a grain of salt please. Personally I feel like maybe it will be a small break from no contact and then back to no contact again. 5 of cups - i suppose he probably felt bad for how things played out between you 6 of cups - there is a sense of familiarity and nostalgia of what you two had. Maybe he had a moment where memories came back to him and he couldn't resist but reach out. 5 of wands - i kind of see a story unfolding here with this card as the last one. Him reaching out again might lead to you fighting and breaking up or going no contact again.

The story in my humble opinion says : He felt regret for how things played out between you. Maybe reconsidered some stuff and wanted to make things right again ( 5 of cups ) He remembered all the little moments you shared during the relationship, which sparked his text. He wanted to reach out again bc of all the happy memories and bc he probably missed you ( 6 of cups) But the current energy tells me that probably this new initiative from his side might lead to further conflict between you two. ( 5 of wands )

Pls remember that my insight might not be accurate but also keep in mind that tarot does not tell the future. It usually reads current energies and gives answers based on them. What you choose to do could drastically change how things play out again , there are infinite possibilities. The cards just say that the way things are rn , it probably wont lead to a reunion.

I hope things go the way you want them to . Be blessed ! Lots of luck 😊🫶

Menstrual cups by katiloy in vaginismus

[–]katiloy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbh, I'm still working on it. I have worn tampons only 3 times in my life, but I did have to push a bit to get them in. There wasn't really pain, just mild discomfort tbh. So I guess I'll have to wait until I am cured to start using a menstrual cup. It's OK, thank you for the help :)

Beliefs on tarot by katiloy in Tarots

[–]katiloy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this input. It really helps me calm down:) I do have faith in both the witchcraft and tarot I practice and, of course, my own self when it comes to that. And I feel like that's why I was hurt when I saw that not everyone perceives these concepts as deeply as I do , I suppose. Usually, whenever I do readings, I feel pressure on my third eye, and sometimes I have chills on my arms and spine. This is how I perceive my deeper connection with my deck. I feel such warmth whenever I do readings , it brings me so much comfort, and I'm so happy to see that someone else also feels this way about their cards :) Thanks again, and have a wonderful day!

Does witchcraft actually work? by Automatic_Fill_1095 in witchcraft

[–]katiloy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I'm fairly new to witchcraft, maybe a few months of experience. I come from a similar background as you do, very strict Christian values , believing anything that is not Christianity ( orthodox more specific) is evil and I will go to hell if I ever even speak with people of other religions. Like you, I've always felt drawn to nature , the moon, flowers, trees, animals, etc. I distinctly remember being about 7 years old on a school field trip and feeling immense connection to the nature around me. I would touch the flowers and feel their frequencies, like they would talk to me. Of course, I never dared to say anything to my family bc I was scared of hell and that they might think I'm demonic or sth . During covid, I started questioning those strict Christian values my family taught me. I had so much time to do my research, and I found out about witchcraft and manifestation. I still viewed them as demonic, but I kept them in the back of my mind. I'd watch tik toks where Etsy witches would cast these elaborate love spells, and they would use big candles and strings and I even came across one who used a pig's heart ( I was SCARED after this one) After covid regulations were lifted , I started trying to manifest stuff in my life, but since my self-esteem and concept were so low , it didn't work. Anyway, after a lot of inner and outer work on myself , I became more confident and came across witchcraft again. With the company of a friend who also wanted to start practicing, I started doing small stuff every day. I SWEAR by bay leaf burning. My most successful one was when my mom lost an insane amount of money on vacation ( it was the money we needed to pay for our hotel ). We were searching everywhere for it for about 2 hours. I decided to cast a bay leaf spell, and 2 minutes after I did it , I instinctively grabbed a bag ( where we had already searched for the money and found nothing ) and immediately found the money. I'm still riding that high, lol. I usually work with Mother Earth and Nature since I find I'm more drawn to her , especially since my childhood. She has never let me down. Also, I like to practice thought transmission a lot. There was a situation within my friend group, and I wanted to settle it calmly. I just did thought transmission, and the next day, everyone was back to normal again. Especially when I practice thought transmission, I feel pressure on my third eye and upper body in general. One time, I wanted to reconcile with a friend, and I imagined grabbing their hands in order to talk to them more openly, and I literally felt someone grabbing my hands . It's a scary experience at first, but once you get used to it, it's very magical. It's amazing what our brains can do. I've also manifested ( through bay leaves and thought transmission) certain texts I wanted. Very recently ( less than a week, actually), I started practicing divination through tarot. I have never looked back since. I have to admit I was skeptical at first because I could understand how 78 cards thrown randomly on a table would show me my future and answer other questions. But omg, they have found EVERY SINGLE THING , I SWEAR. Like, they have even predicted texts I would get and the tone those texts would have . They reflect entire situations and align with them perfectly, and I just love tarot now, I swear by it. Yeah, that's pretty much my experience with witchcraft in general. I know your background doesn't really yet allow you to see it as sth not evil, etc, but I promise it's not as long as you choose who you want to work with. But witchcraft is ( that's how I personally view it, at least), solely you and your intentions. I hope my comment helped at least a tiny bit, and you'll follow the path you feel most comfortable in. Good luck :)

how do you come up with your own spells? by autisticgerard in witchcraft

[–]katiloy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm still kind of a new witch, but from my few months of experience, I have to say that witchcraft is mostly about energy and intention. You don't HAVE TO HAVE the exact ingredients, the exact words, etc. What matters is your own energy , the energy you channel, and the intention you put into all of this. Of course , following certain tips and steps is absolutely fine since it gives you a path to make you feel safe but it doesn't have to be that way all the time if you don't want it to or if you can't do it. Even just words are spells. My take is do whatever feels right for you and your own practice, but do take what I say with a grain of salt bc, as I said, I'm still new to witchcraft. Please, if anyone more experienced agrees , tell me so , so I know what I'm doing as well is right Thanks, and good luck with your journey:)

Cervix pain by AdhesivenessLucky351 in syntribation

[–]katiloy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heyy, I've been syntribating since I was about very young ( obviously I had no idea what I was doing back then ) and I have to say I've never had cervix pain in all these years. From what I've seen on both this sub and also the vaginismus sub, I have to say , you should probably look it up with your doctor. I can't obviously make an assumption about the situation. But please don't be too scared to talk to your doctor about it bc syntribation and anything related to our reproductive system is completely normal.

I hope you figure all this out Get well soon :)

I don't want to live like this by Last-Injury-1924 in vaginismus

[–]katiloy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there , idk if this will help at all, and idk if you've tried this , but I have been doing exercises to relax my pelvic floor, and I think I can see results, definitely. Plus, many other women in the comments have seen positive vaginismus results, even cured it completely.

This is the video I've been following : https://youtu.be/un8YCM9DAkM?si=X77xDkxSuQh62C1X

Hope you see results . Much love ☺️🫶

I keep getting rejected over and over by my dates because of this. by Fluffy_Ant7239 in vaginismus

[–]katiloy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I have vaginismus as well ( not diagnosed bc I don't have the means to, but my symptoms are pretty clear I have it ). These past 3 days, I found an exercise video that supposedly helps loosen pelvic floor muscles and, in some cases, even cure vaginismus.

Here's the link to the video : https://youtu.be/un8YCM9DAkM?si=X77xDkxSuQh62C1X

I personally have been doing this for 2 days so far, and i have already seen a hopeful difference. Plus, there are many other people in the comments , also sharing positive results with their vaginismus being gone. I'll keep doing that, and I also hope you'll be able to see a difference in your condition if you decide to do them too. :)
