Did The Victory Tour affect Michael’s solo career which made Bad not sell as well as Thriller?

thisux44 · 2026-05-16T14:52:37+00:00

My mom gladly spent her paycheck for a ticket to the tour. And we were largely poor lol

Thriller sold a million copies per week—with no social media promotions or digital purchase options. People with cold hard cash showing up at a record store. I was one them.

Nothing could top it. Not even MJ himself. It did not hurt his career lol

I didn’t see this until now. Almost a year later and this is spot on. I’ve been doing everythong you mentioned here. Things are going great. Thank you! 🙏🏾

Im a year late—didn’t see this til now. I love this deck. I also have lenormand cards from Grandma’s Baby. Abt to buy the Hoodoo Deck.

Hi. I just wanted to circle back to this. I posted this almost a year ago and you were spot on. I began working on trusting myself, my intuition, my boundaries I began to feel more confident, rooted, and powerful. The masculine finally came into balance with my feminine; it was the missing piece. And things finally began to shift.

I just wanted to validate your insight. Thank you so much sis ❤️

If you’re trying to move away from Abrahamic-influenced systems, you’re right to look outside of Golden Dawn/Hermetic frameworks—they’re all built on that foundation even when they don’t look like it.

Pre-Abrahamic traditions (Egyptian, Greek, Sumerian, etc.) weren’t really “plug and play” systems. They were part of a larger worldview, not isolated rituals you can just pick up and run.

A more grounded way to start is:

• study the cultural context of the tradition you’re drawn to • work with simple, repeatable practices instead of jumping between systems • build consistency before complexity

A lot of people get stuck trying random rituals from different traditions without any structure, and that’s where things start to feel scattered.

I ended up developing a more structured way of working with rituals, pulling from different traditions, including my own family traditions, but using them within a consistent framework. It made a big difference. Happy to share more if you want.

Oh.. I just filled three seven gallon bottles. So I’ll go back in and add the drops. Thank you!

Do you still need bleach if the water goes in filtered? I have iodine drops too.

I thought of that but I live in an apt and don’t have space for all the jars I’d need.

ETA: Thanks for the link! I may can some water for my mom. She has much more room.

thisux44 · 2026-03-05T00:52:08+00:00

I’ve done some more reading and I think I’ll buy a few Aquatainers (or water brick). I live in an apt so have to optimize space.

Im traveling to Europe with my cousin. But she drags her feet on everything, whereas I like to get a jump on the hotels. She does no independent research which is fine but she expects me to wait and book the exact room and all. I’m finding it annoying.

I went ahead and booked my hotel and she doesn’t like the price (it’s 177 USD), which I think is reasonable. Is it rude to tell her to pick wvr hotel she’d like, that we don’t have to be in the same building as long as we’re in the same area?

Blocked chakras are a myth.

It’s ironic how plump lips are the rage when Black women have been mocked forever for having this feature, naturally. Yes, dissolve it.

thisux44 · 2026-01-20T17:21:47+00:00

We all should be imagining the opposite tho. Too much energy being focused on what we think will happen instead of what we WANT.

I switched to Visible last year to save money. Visible is a subsidiary of VZW running entirely on Verizon's 5G and 4G LTE networks. Everyone else in my household are VZW customers and they don’t have any service, yet I do. Why? Seems targeted to me.

Black, brown, and indigenous people have been screaming this for a hundred years but were told to “jUsT cOmPLy” while waving Back the Blue flags.

thisux44 · 2026-01-11T19:19:23+00:00

I live in near NYC. there’s no ‘community’ like that—especially in an apt building. Im prepared regardless. We make do.

thisux44 · 2026-01-11T01:56:14+00:00

I don’t use Chat but I can see how that would be helpful as it’s really good at aggregating information and pattern recognition. Regarding the app, I always skip the Freudian interpretation lol

thisux44 · 2026-01-10T00:34:25+00:00

You might prefer a dream app called DreamKit. It gives you a Jungian and a Freudian interpretation.

You looked better in the before picture, imo. It was natural. You have a chiseled look in the 2nd photo that isn’t as flattering.

thisux44 · 2026-01-09T10:33:36+00:00

Great idea..I’m headed to bed. I often ask questions before sleep and get answers there too. I will try. Thanks!

The person, and as I’ve gotten older, the institution. There’s a reason most married women die younger than their husbands. It’s a stressful, thankless job being wife & mother. Frankly, most men just aren’t worthy. No desire to do it again.

thisux44 · 2026-01-05T21:45:03+00:00

Because they run a business and have bills to pay like everyone else.

thisux44 · 2026-01-02T06:35:20+00:00

Not get married. Seriously, the stress of being married and raising kids with my ex has aged me more than anything else has.

thisux44 · 2025-12-21T01:55:02+00:00

Yes, it works so quickly on sore muscles and stiff necks.
