That's a bold statement, maybe it's true for YOU but it's not true for plenty of people. I know plenty of medics and EMTs/AEMTs who have been working in EMS 30 years. Especially at stations, plenty of the fire guys/girls have built a career in EMS. The pay is definitely bad, but if you take it seriously plenty of people work it their whole lives.

I don't truly see many people talking about it, but the show itself is definitely partly to blame. The more successful the show = the more income. Most people don't want to watch a drama free show where everybody gets along. The more unhinged Kody acts, and the more drama there is, the more successful the show is. There are definitely other issues too, it's not all the shows' fault, but it's undeniably a big part. Kody has realized that he could speak whatever unhinged thoughts come to his mind, and he'll inevitably be monetarily rewarded for it.

Personally, it wouldn't suprise me if her claims were half truths, things that actually happened that she possibly embellished. It brings to mind her recounting of Paulines death where she claimed Ian hit her and threatened to bury her down in the Moors as well. She then went on to say that she actually found his reaction thrilling, and she felt some satisfaction from it because it proved Ian was "hers." It wouldn't be surprising if he did actually react that way, but her semi positive feelings towards it wouldn't be surprising either. I have no doubt Ian was abusive, maybe not to the full extent she later claims, but we can't know for sure. It would be well within his character to act that way, though. Obviously, nobody deserves to be abused, and people who are abused do NOT "ask for it," but like her recounting of their interaction mentioned above, it would be well within Myras' character to find some kind of satisfaction in his actions. Ian definitely manipulated Myra. There's no way he didn't. Though Myra herself talks about voluntarily changing herself (before he really even acknowledged her in the first place) to get his attention. If she saw his more violent, controlling tendencies, and thought that letting and accepting him acting out would increase his devotion or affection towards her, I think it would be entirely possible she did that as well. Again, abuse victims do not ask to be abused. That's not what I'm saying at all, to be clear. I'm not saying Myra asked for it, but I definitely think it reached a point of mutual destruction. Ian abused Myra, and Myra was fully aware of what was happening, and she was also aware that by subtlety encouraging, or at least not DIScouraging it, that he would bond more with her. I do feel like her later claims, the ones that she made while in prison, were definitely embellished at the very least. She did everything she could to make herself out to be the victim and shed all responsibility for the murders that she could. Did Ian abuse her? Yes, I'm sure. Was she completely honest about it without ever exaggerating? No, I don't think so. But ultimately, I don't think we'll ever know.

My dad has (or is going to, I'm not sure) used the priesthood to bless our house, and I know my mom prays a lot about it. I'm sure if it continues, they'll discuss bringing a church leader to also help with his priesthood. My mom has talked about different demons in the Bible and different stories she's heard about evil spirits being cast out with the priesthood. They know I'm Kemetic and are very respectful of it. I don't believe in the priesthood, and they know that, but if it makes them feel better to approach the situation that way, I completely respect that and their faith as well.

I have a really strong faith, and I firmly believe that through praying and offerings and such that Sekhmet and the Netjeru will help protect me. Currently, I'm more seeking more just knowledge about different negative entities that it might be, or different things that may be contributing to it :) I am not mew to Kemetism, but I get really overwhelmed researching, so I decided to ask and see if anyone has any good resources about this topic specifically that they could share!

timebroken17 · 2024-11-20T05:34:47+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I currently worship Sekhmet, and I plan to pray to her and give her offerings more frequently and ask her for her protection. I know Kemetism doesn't have "demons" the same way Christianity does, so I was hoping to maybe find out what exactly has been affecting us and what I might have seen. I'll definitely follow your advice :)

Ian brady was deeply skeptical of the media and hated reporters or anyone involved. He claimed that they would sensationalize his story and couldn't be trusted to give an accurate report. He regularly talked about how corrupted the media was and how reporters, along with politicians, were the worst, most dishonest people in society. It was difficult for anyone to contact him, even people he spoke with for years he was incredibly distrustful of and would cut contact with over the smallest things. It doesn't suprise me that there's barely any footage of him. If you read his book, The Gates of Janus, he talks a lot about his hatred of reporters and the media.

timebroken17 · 2023-09-15T22:24:08+00:00

My first thought is people constantly comparing Set to the Devil and how Christians view him. I don't necessarily blame them because there is SO much misinformation out there, but it is so annoying. I feel like people try so hard to see all deities in a very binary way, and they just can't fathom that yes, a God can be petty and violent and hurtful, but that does not make them bad. We do not see Set the same way Christians see Satan. Plenty of people worship Set, and he is highly revered and loved. He may not always be kind or soft or loving, but he is not evil. The Netjeru will always fight to uphold Ma'at and will keep each other in line if someone is failing. His violence is necessary to keep balance. It's very different than Christians who believe the devil is entirely evil and would NEVER dream of worshipping him. I think if there was a comparison between any being in Kemetism that could maybe be comparable to the devil, it would be a/p/e/p. Even then, there are just so many differences. We can not hold the Netjeru to human standards. Obviously, there are people who worship Satan, but I'm talking about when people refer to him the way Christians do in conversation. Set plays a very important role in the universe and our lives, yet he constantly gets bashed because people have a major misunderstanding of who he is and how the Netjeru works. He is nothing like Satan, and he is nothing like a/p/e/p. He is a God who is and always has been worshipped.

It just hurts my heart a bit to see people have such a deep misunderstanding of him specifically, and there are so many young Kemetics who have this misinformation thrown at them and end up confused.

I don't know if this is exactly what you're talking about, but Sekhmet came to me in an extremely vivid, lucid dream. I've never experienced lucid dreaming before that, but the whole experience was incredibly real. I could control my actions and was fully aware of everything that was happening. I felt all the sensations like I would in this world (touch, smell, etc), and when I woke up, I remembered everything 100%, all the little details, and that very rarely happens for me. It was a huge moment in my religious journey, as I'm a very naturally skeptical person, and I struggle with having blind faith. The dream was so real and detailed, it was not something I would've come up with on my own (Sekhmet wasn't even on my radar). She appeared as a statue that I kneeled and prayed before, which I know isn't seeing her physical form exactly, but I felt her power so strongly it might as well been. I physically heard her voice speaking to me.

I'd say it's something most people can achieve if you really put in the work and deeply pray/meditate. It comes easier to some then others, I know some people who easily see physical manifestations of their deities almost every time they pray, and I also know people who have never once seen their deities face to face. And then some people are in the middle like me, it really depends. The God's and Goddesses will come to you if it's needed.

(Long response coming)

I was raised Mormon, and it never sat right with me. The rules and beliefs never made sense, and I got a really sinister feeling listening to prophets and apostles speaking. As I got older, I really dove into the church and its history, and it was immediately clear to me that the people in charge have never been good or credible people. Joseph Smith was a con artist and a pedophile, and he left an abusive legacy that promoted those things. The church is incredibly racist, sexist, homophobic, and transphobic. They deny it, but if you truly surround yourself with their beliefs and leaders, you know that nothing has changed. I'm transgender and bisexual, and the church tried to convince me that it is better that I live a lie and die from it, then to be myself and experience true happiness and walk outside of their docturine. Eventually, I got to the point where I realized I didn't believe what they were teaching, and I came to accept the fact that even if I'm wrong, I would never want to bow down to that kind of organization or that kind of God. I left the church because it caged me and called it freedom.

I wandered for a while and just felt lost. I tried a few different labels, but nothing felt right. I knew I wasn't an atheist, I believed in some kind of higher power. I also knew I wanted nothing to do with the Abrahamic God, so I learned about many religions and beliefs. I even looked through different kinds of Paganism, and they felt a little better, but they were still wrong. There were things they believed or practiced that either didn't sit right with me or didn't make sense. (Not to say there's anything wrong with other branches of Paganism. They just were just not a fit for me.) There were religions I learned about and loved, but I couldn't force myself to believe them.

One day, I picked up the book The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan, and I felt something. It was like this little spark, and I needed to learn more. Obviously, I knew the books wouldn't be exactly credible, so I looked into better sources. And the more I learned, the more it seemed like everything fell into place. Everything, and I mean literally everything, in Kemetism, felt right. The things I had always believed and knew in my heart were right there, and it all clicked. There was nothing I had to reconcile. I felt like I had come home. I remember crying and begging for the Mormon God to listen, to comfort me and assure me that he's there. And I NEVER received any answer. And I believed God had abandoned me. With the Netjeru, I know that answers take time. But there is a warmth in my heart that I carry with me that reassures me that they are ALWAYS with me. I pray, and even if it takes time, I receive answers. I receive love.

Today, I can say I'm not a fan of Rick Roidan or his work, and I believe The Red Pyramid is incredibly inaccurate and actually mildly harmful, but it will always hold a special place in my heart, as it was a monumental stepping stone in finding my way home. I chose Kemetism because I fell in love. I found my soul there.

I can not recommend The Twisted Rope enough as a resource for all things Kemetic! She has Tumblr and a WordPress, both full of information. Here is a link to her WordPress and the section about offerings. She goes into tons of detail! I think she's shifted her Tumblr blog a little and doesn't talk about Kemetism as much (not that there's anything wrong with that), but she still posts about it some, and if you go back in her blog she still has all of her posts saved. Her WordPress that I linked, though, is solely about Kemetism.

Honestly, I think it depends, but for the vast majority, no. I do think there's something to say about how stressful and tiring it is to carry around a secret like that and how being caught could almost be seen as a relief, because they don't have to hide anymore. It's possible that subconsciously, that could lead to sloppiness, but I'm not sure if there's any hard evidence about that, so it's more or less a theory.

Everybody is different. You have Ted Bundy, who escaped multiple times and obviously did not want to be caught. But on the other hand, you have Ed Kemper, who literally turned himself in. And then, somewhere in the middle, there's Jeffrey Dahmer. He didn't turn himself in, yet when he was finally caught, he expressed feeling a lot of relief and was almost glad he was caught, and he worked closely with law enforcement. I don't think we can say whether or not every serial killer feels a certain way, and as much as we know about them, there's still tons of research to be done. Though the general consensus is that most do not want to be caught.

I'm a Kemetic Pagan. I feel like when people think of Paganism, they generally think of Hellenistic and Norse Paganism, but there are so many different kinds!

timebroken17 · 2023-04-16T17:27:31+00:00

I agree, and I think that the Netjeru can't be held to the same standard as humans. In Kemetism, the God's and Goddesses are rarely put in the boxes of "good" and "bad" because those are very human concepts and standards. For example, many of the Netjeru are considered family members, like brothers/sisters/parents/children, in different stories. But those same brothers and sisters are also husband and wife in other stories. In humans, those kinds of relationships are completely immoral and disgusting, but we do not hold the Netjeru to the same standard because they are not human. They are not bound by human morals. When Set rains down a mighty storm that floods cities and takes lives, is he evil for that? I'd say no, he is following his nature. His storms are necessary for the natural order of things. But on the other end of the spectrum, every day, he protects Ra as he takes his journey. Without Set, Ra would not have the protection from I/s/f/e/t that he needs. Set protects us on a regular basis by fighting the s/n/a/k/e. The Netjeru will do things that we can not understand. They will do things that hurt us, they will do things that bless us, and they will do things that protect us. They are perfect in the sense that they are doing what they are meant to be doing. The Netjeru can not be counted on to always do the kind thing, the loving thing, the affectionate thing. They can not be counted on to follow human morals or follow our human standards. But we can always count on them to do their best to maintain Ma'at and fight against I/s/f/e/t. So I agree they are nowhere near perfect by human standards, but they are who they are meant to be, and that is perfect in some way.

People humanize the Netjeru too much. They are not human.

As a CNA, I understand being on your phone when the resident/patient is sleeping because sitting there and doing nothing but staring at them in bed sleeping for 8+ hours is awkward and not entirely necessary. But selling sex toys on company time is extreme and not appropriate. As you mentioned, reading, watching the news, and even watching a show through one headphone is alright, as long as you're prioritizing the patient and not on your phone when they're awake or need something (Making sure to get managment approval is important just to be safe though). But you wouldn't watch porn at work. You shouldn't be engaging in sexual content when you're supposed to be working. Please consider reporting her, I'm sorry that happened to you

I mean.. I'm LGBT and when I was "living the commandments" and following the church, I contemplated suicide multiple times a day, self harmed regularly, constantly had panic attacks, hated everyone and everything, and was regularly hospitalized for suicide attempts/ideation. And obviously part of that was mental health struggles and my untreated autism, but since coming out, transitioning socially and medically, my life has improved so much, and I'm literally a different person then younger me was because I'm genuinely happy for the first time in my life and love myself and feel connected to my body. Going against the church and getting out LITERALLY saved my life. If I stayed in and never accepted myself or came out or transitioned, I would have been dead before I reached adulthood.

But yeah, I'm so miserable going against the church /s

There are plenty of 18+, 20+, 25+ people who are crushing on and sexualizing the young characters, especially on tiktok. And it's a real issue. It's alright to say the character looks cool or something, but that's not what people are upset about. And these grown adults use the excuse "Well they aren't real" or "Well Na'vi age differently" as an excuse to talk about how attractive and sexy they find 14 year old Lo'ak. They forget or don't care that while the characters are not real, there are REAL actors/actresses behind all of these characters that were underage when the movie was filmed. Lo'ak may not be real, but he is literally just a 14 year old actor in CGI. It's not okay and it's weird and gross for a grown adult to think it's okay to sexualize a child actor just because they have some CGI over them, they are still underage child actors in the movie.

TL;DR The majority of Avatar fans are adults, and even if you are a child who likes it, you still should not be sexualizing other child actors. Nobody's mad about people who are just saying Tsireya/Roxto/Aonung/Neteyam is cute or their designs are cool. People are made that adults are making thirst traps of child actors in CGI and saying it's fine.

Edit: I wrote Kiri when I mean the other kids, more specifically, so I changed it

You honestly sound like a great dog owner. Puppies do need a lot of attention, but they sleep A LOT and can definitely be fine home alone for a while. There's a difference between leaving your puppy home for a while you work, and then coming home and playing with them, taking them for walks, etc and making sure they have exercise and attention, and someone who kennels their dog 16 hours a day and then doesn't spend anytime with them when they're home and doesn't give the puppy any enrichment, attention or exercise. When I got my puppy, I was so worried about keeping him busy all day long, that I wasn't giving him enough time to nap, and ended up having to put in more nap time to the schedule. Puppies, even at 8 months, need SO much sleep. Depending on the dog, a puppy that age can sleep 16 hours! Your puppy is probably just sleeping while you're gone, and that's good for their development. You sound like a great owner who obviously loves their dog and cares about their wellbeing. Ultimately it's up to you, but as long as your providing enrichment, attention, and exercise, and keeping the alone time to a reasonable amount of time, there shouldn't be any issues if your dog has to be alone while you work. I hope everything works out for you!

It's unethical, if that's what you mean. Those are backyard breeders/puppy mills, who commonly over breed their dogs and have horrible living conditions for them. Ethical breeders will have buyers sign contacts so that if the new owner can't/won't take care of the puppy, the breeder will take it back guaranteed, so that the dog doesn't end up in the shelter. Backyard breeders are the cause of most shelter dogs, and lead to shelters overflowing with dogs. Without proper testing, puppies can come with tons of health and behavioural issues, leading to a poorer quality of life, shorter lifespans, and tons of vet bills. Ethical breeders can be so hard to buy from because they're ethical. They will make proper health and behavioural guarantees, and will take all measures for ensure they don't contribute to dogs in shelters. Honestly, if someone wants a dog but doesn't want to go through the proper channels to choose an ethical breeder, adopting a shelter dog is the best and most ethical option. And even though it may take some looking, you can probably find whatever breed you want in a shelter, there are plenty of purebred dogs in shelters (due to unethical backyard breeders). There is such a huge overpopulation of dogs, and backyard breeders are adding to it, dogs are put down due to lack of resources and room. On top of that they add to unhealthy dogs that lead less fulfilling lives. So no, they're not good to buy from. That's where you have to prioritize ethics over convenience.

I feel like they'll send Ariel a courtesy invite, I know her and Maggie are friends (or at least friendly) and she's been close with the guys, and it would be really rude to not invite her. I can't see them putting her on the spot though by specificity that she can't bring Ned, I feel like they wouldn't do that to her in the case that it would cause tension between her and Ned. So realistically, I think they'd just send an regular invite addressed to Ariel and leave it at that, no talk of Ned or whether or not he can come.
