Tiktok is making a whole bunch of claims that you shouldn’t curse the government because they have ‘ancient dark magicks that is so much more powerful then us and did we mention Ancient and Dark and every person talking about this spells it magick’ and something about the cia doing astral projection? and I feel like you’d find this funny caretaker

ACTUALLY THAT’S REAL

IM NOT EVEN JOKING THE CIA TRIED TO TRAIN PEOPLE TO SCRY BACK IN THE 50s BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THE RUSSIANS WERE DOING IT IT TIES INTO THE MKULTRA STUFF

THEY DONT HAVE SORCERERS ANYMORE SO YOU CAN CURSE THEM

[normal-horoscopes]

IM NOT KIDDING

[obviousbaitfish]

didnt the CIA also try to teach a dolphin to talk

[normal-horoscopes]

NO

THAT WAS NASA

[obviousbaitfish]

WHAT

MORE THINGS ON HEAVEN AND EARTH YADDA YADDA DEAR HORATIO

[beesandwasps]

Wasn’t there also proof that they seriously investigated the possibility of making a contract with the devil? I seem to recall that that was another thing MKULTRA went for.

[normal-horoscopes]

YEP THATS ALSO TRUE BUT IT WAS PART OF PROJECT STARGATE

[lesbian-bookworm]

Wasnt it nasa who conformed astral projection was real

[normal-horoscopes]

PROVED IS A STRONG WORD BUT THEY PROVIDED EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE FOR IT (WHICH IF YOU’RE A SCIENTIST YOU KNOW DOESN’T MEAN MUCH) AS WELL AS POSTULATING “remote viewing” is “inherent to every human to some degree” and “Probably a vestigial form of self-preservation.”

[thedeadmemereturns]

So like, the pre-historic equivalent of sending a drone up to scout for danger?

[normal-horoscopes]

GIVEN THAT OUR OCCULAR NERVES LITERALLY INVOLVE TIME TRAVEL TO FUNCTION ITS NOT AN IMPOSSIBLE POSTULATE

BUT UNTIL SCIENTISTS CAN ACTUALLY CONFIRM OR DISPROVE IT ME AND THE OTHER OCCULTISTS ARE HAVING A FIELD DAY

They also regulate the own paycheck and have passed more pay raises amongst themselves than actual useful bills so yeah fuck Congress.

LIghthouse keepers will never be memorialized like soldiers or cops because they didn’t kill anyone (as part of their job) but they’re like, heroes who saved untold lives through discipline and self-sacrifice doing an impossible lonely job and I’m worked up about  it 

[darth--nickels]

Clinging to a swaying tower in freezing, driving rain, risking death by everything from pneumonia to a fall to a fucking lightning strike to keep the lantern going when you don’t even KNOW if someone is out on the water!! Working! Class! Heroes!

[worryinglyinnocent]

You know, guys, it is possible to think “I am fucking sick of this lockdown and I want it to end as soon as possible so that I can hug my friends again and go and see my family” and also think “we shouldn’t end the lockdown yet because it puts people at risk”. 

Those two separate thoughts can co-exist, despite everyone on this hellsite wanting you to think that if you’re sick of quarantine and want it to be over already, it means you’re a fat ass capitalist who wants poor people to die. 

Humans are social creatures. We need proper interaction and we are not designed to be isolated from each other for long periods of time. It’s ok to be frustrated at not being able to interact with your friends and family, whilst also knowing that it’s necessary at the moment. 

For god’s sake, stop shitting on people who are missing their friends and families.

as much as i appreciate the increased usage of they/them pronouns as a non binary person that uses those pronouns, y'all need to also understand that using they/them on someone who does not use they/them is still misgendering

[notveryproductive]

Using they/them for someone whose gender/pronouns you’re unsure of: good; doesn’t make assumptions; more concise and inclusive than the dreaded “he or she.” not misgendering

Using they/them for someone who has already told you their gender/pronouns (and doesn’t use they/them): not good; ignores their implicit/explicit wishes; often used as an ‘out’ by closet transphobes to avoid referring to a binary trans person with their preferred pronouns while still appearing ‘woke.’ this is misgendering

i.e. why when you or someone else gets stabbed or impaled, you should leave the object in the wound until medical help arrives.

[wildlyannoyingdoofus]

THIS. RIGHT HERE. This is an amazing example!!

If you take the thing out, they’re going to bleed a lot more.

SO. DONT.

News Flash from the Medical Help ™ — we don’t touch it either! Unless the object they’re impaled with is literally too big to fit in the ambulance, We. Don’t. Touch. The. Thing.

The only people qualified to Take-The-Thing-Out are surgeons. End of story.

Okay, but for the love of God, please, PLEASE, if you did, if you panicked and took the thing out…. DON’T…. PUT IT BACK IN.

Or else, congratulations, you just stabbed them AGAIN. I reeeeeally shouldn’t have to say this guys, but I do.

[kimmycup]

Congratulations,

YOU JUST STABBED THEM AGAIN

Something about hearing the footsteps involved in ballet makes it seem very real. But unlike when it's audible over the music, hearing it when there's no music doesn't make it lose any of the magic.

Confirmed by Snopes. There’s a lot more to this so I suggest reading the article and sources.

Here’s how Republicans win support for the idea of smaller government when people actually really like government programs:

1. Complain that government agencies are incompetent and private industry could do it better.

2. Hamstring the agency with absurd requirements that are nearly impossible to satisfy.

3. Point to the new problems in the agency as proof that it should lose its funding.

They’re currently doing it to the immigration court system. They did it to Amtrak. They did it to the VA and then Obamacare. And because most people don’t really follow Congressional funding arguments, it works every. fucking. time.

one fairly common experience of gifted children is wishing for pain. wishing you had some great big horrible thing in your past so that you can justify the pain you’re in, and so that you’ll deserve help. it’s exhausting and it fucks you up and to anyone out there who feels like they haven’t suffered enough to get help: you’re allowed to want help. you’re in enough pain. you deserve to feel better

[rexieboii]

holy shit yeah

[homoslovenc]

[skiinny-bird]

is this one of those things that everyone actually does?? i just assumed i was a shitty person

[sir-ghost-the-green]

Wait that’s normal?

[star-anise]

It’s not “normal” as in “everybody feels this way so suck it up and quit whining”.

It’s “normal” as in “many people experience pain, loneliness, anxiety, self-hatred, and other symptoms of mental illness that feel like they ‘don’t count’ because there’s no real Thing they can point to to explain it, but their pain and suffering are real and ought to be taken seriously.”

However, when I say “many people” I actually mean “less than a quarter of the population”. The vast majority of people aren’t in massive internal pain most of the time. If this post resonates with you, I super recommend you look into mental health resources, because nobody deserves to feel this way, and there’s a very real hope that information, understanding, therapy, and/or medication can work together to help you feel better.

blame capitalism. this is not normal.
