thinking of ordering that cat ita bag sometime soon but now im debating what color to get...... again

I've said it before but I'll say it till I die.

Always 👏 Independently 👏 Varify 👏

You've never heard that before? A.I.V.!

You have heard that but not in this context? A.I.V.!

you've used it for years but never thought to look into it? A.I.V.!

"They're always a well researched author" A.I.V.!

I'm not just talking about one aspect. I look up points, specific references and articles ALL THE TIME!

I stop in the middle of books from authors I trust and recommend to independently verify THEIR SOURSES sometimes.

The occult/pagan community can be and is very incestuous in our research so ONE sourse means nothing. ONE ~STRING~ of sources doesn't necessarily mean anything.

If 3 people all reference the same article for a point READ THAT ARTICLE YOURSELF! Varify for yourself that THAT article is well researched and not someone making up whatever they want and being taken by unsuspecting writers at face value!

[upstanding-warlock]

Hello,

I hope this message finds you well 🌹.

My name is Mohammed, and I am from Gaza. The war has taken my parents and siblings from me, and I have suffered severe injuries. Now, my only remaining family is my wife and three children, and the thought of losing them is unbearable. I am reaching out for your help to protect my children. Your donations and sharing my story on social media would be the greatest gift you could give to my children.

My campaign is verified.

Thank you all 🙏❤️

Sorry for your loss and all the hardship you’ve been through.

Donated and sharing

society if people stopped interacting with extremely obvious bait

Look it up first; then call. Most efficient use of time and more likely to yield usable results.

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method

It doesn’t matter if you check all the boxes. It doesn’t matter if you have a referral. It doesn’t matter if you’re clearly struggling. If you don’t fit the evaluator's stereotypes of what someone with that disorder should look or act like, you aren’t getting that diagnosis.

You guys are the best, I already have the number of responses I need to move forward! I'm gonna keep it open until Monday though to collect even more data. Thank you all!

Do you identify as some variation of queer woman? Are you a fan of Bruce Springsteen?

If the answer to both of those questions was yes, please take a few minutes to fill out this survey:

Your answers will not be published anywhere, this is simply for a graduate class project using uses and gratifications theory.

You do not need to answer every question, only those that inspire an answer.

Reblogs are massively appreciated, especially if you run a Springsteen related blog. I need to collect answers from at least 10 participants in order to move forward with this project. Feel free to share it with your friends.

Deleted Mary mission

A while ago I heard rumors about a scraped Mary mission where she went on a date with Arthur and Bill helped them in some way shape or form, unable to varify any of it I didn't think much of it but then I saw this post:

I decided to look a bit further into it and found this in one of the game files which looks to be the letter that Mary would have contacted Arthur with:

"Oh Arthur, I know it is wrong to ask you, but I have nobody else and for what we once had together, I beg of you, even though I am ashamed to do so. Please help me. I believe they may kill me. I am in residence at the saloon in Rhodes. If you can help me, I will of course, be ever grateful. Yours, Mary."

Now this makes me curious, who is trying to kill her? If even any, this does sound very casual if she does believe she is going to die, rather I think this may be an exateration.

So, you can all go back now.

Are we supposed to say thank you....?

i see people talk about UPG a lot but don’t know what it is or why it’s bad. could you explain it a little if you know?

okay so UPG stands for Unvarified Personal Gnosis, which basically means religious beliefs and ideas that are not backed up by historical evidence or scholarly research and are instead subjective beliefs founded in personal experience that have no way of being varified.

it’s important to note that this isn’t always a bad thing. for your own personal practice UPG can and likely will be present and even important as it’s your experience which will guide how you want to practice religion in your life. this can be seen via things like answered you have received via divination, personally feeling like something you did worked better than other things and wanting to do that more etc.

that said because it is unverified, UPG should exist only within casual conversation with friends and your own daily practice. it should not be presented as fact or used in academic or informative settings and that is because of its subjective nature.

like if you are writing a book on historical religious practices or writing something for an academic puplication, you can’t just share your own personal feelings and experiences because they aren’t historical. when looking at an academic and informative conversation the things you are claiming should be evidenced based via things like ancient texts and archaeological evidence or well researched and widely understood by theologians and historians in the feild. you should be evidenceing what you are claiming with historical research if the purpose of what you have written is to teach or discuss historical practices or aimed at understanding historical worship.

another area that i know my friend @thedansemacabres has expressed to me can be a flaw of UPG is that your personal opinions on the world at large will cloud what you believe to be true. so if a person holds bigoted beliefs their UPG will be influenced by those bigoted beliefs also. this can lead to a rise in white supremacist talking points being spread in religious spaces. which we see a lot in wicca where cultural practices especially closed practices from ethnic minority groups either get demonised or appropriated.

next when UPG is presented as hard fact and not clearly marked as being UPG it can, and often does, lead to a substantial amount of misinformation being spread which is an issue of its own.

long story short, UPD is not inherently a bad thing but it is bad when it furthers the spread of misinformation, when being presented as truth and fact, when used in academic work or is being used to prop up bigotry and cultural appropriation.

if you are clearly stating that something is your UPG and it’s clear you are not claiming that your personal belief is some ultimate truth or instruction guide that should be followed and believed in then don’t worry it isn’t some terrible evil that needs defeating lol. just be clear that it is UPG and be mindful of where and how you develop your beliefs and what might be guiding your opinion and your fine.

but all of that said this is only a very basic explanation as while i know what it is and how to look out for it in books and articles i am also not the most experienced person to talk about all the finer details and nuances of the topic. but i know a few of my friends i talked to while writing this said they would likely reblog adding in some of their opinions on the topic so keep an eye on the reblog of this post for more indepeth discussions!

okay now why are we throwing around baseless accusations now besties?

I have numerous issues with whomever made those posts that have zero evidence and are just trying to start needless drama. (no need for vague posting, their name was gooey eggyolk for those unaware)

One: the users involved in the “grooming” post have all made it very clear that they are all adults. So no need for the “minor alarms”, there are no minors to be found.

Two: They had zero evidence of such behavior being performed. At worst, there was *some* light sexual jokes being thrown around in public posts, which was all in good fun.

Three: Grooming accusations are serious. No one should be throwing them around unless they have solid evidence. And like you said, they didnt.

Four: Running away when someone even dares challenge you? When someone dares to ask if the so called “sources” you have are trustworthy or even exist? Cowardly behavior.

Five: Im not even certain that they have “contacts”. That could be fabricated too.

Six: Very suspicious that the same person making these call out posts are also in dddne user’s likes. I dont usually like searching through likes for that kind of dirt because i know people can just like shit without thinking but the fact that the account was made like today makes me think foul play…

Seven: Theories on why this is happening. Could it be that this person is trying to “end pc rpf once and for all” by going after the “big names” in our community? If so, dude, I promise Nick isnt going to suck your dick for ending people shipping him with his pals. I promise you this much.

Could it be just a random seeking drama in a community for no apparent reason? possibly. its a non zero chance. but the fact that this profile was made today and was already causing problems leads me to believe theyve been “gathering evidence” before…

Regardless, I hope this serves as a lesson to everyone that this (claims made without evidence) is what unnecessary drama is. Again, it is important to call out people for bad behavior, but only if you can provide evidence for that bad behavior. Otherwise, you get a 20 minute coke rant from yours truly.

(Idk where I was going with that conclusion truly it is 3am here so idk if thats a coherent paragraph.)

dude i regret going on break cause the wierdiest shit has been happening and i feel like i shoulda already been on it. theres been alot of the one thing i cant stand. vaguing

i hate vaguing with every fiber of my ass, and i got a pretty big ass,

but seriously all ive been seeing from the corner of my eye are people vaguely going "somebody here and or alot of people are freaks and wierdos!" and im like "okay can i get some proof" and then i get a whole lot of avoidance, and exuses. wtf am i supposed to do with that.

like with the first dude. it was alot of accusations of "sources" without a single screenshot of proof. and even some of the claims i did know i know werent true, cause i looked with my eyes and didnt see anything of what they were saying. and the claims i couldent varify? no proof at all. the source hidden right between the accusers asscheeks.

even when my anons tell me stuff i usually go investigating for proof [tho i trust my anons to point me in a right direction] and after doing some investigating myself on all these recent accusation i couldent find jack shit, and it so annoying, now you got people running around on here talking about "i know something you all dont." and its like okay? care to share a screenshot with the class? care to inform us of what you found with evidence i can take a look at?

its fear mongering at best and a intentional pysop at worst. random ass accts coming in here claiming to know things. and act like we are all fucking stupid for "not putting the pieces together" no nimrod idk what your saying and you refuse to elbaorate.

and everyone i try to dm? oh dms are off. or i get ignored or thier accts disappers into dust the secoond i click on it.

if nobody wants to sit down and give me actual proof that i can look at then wtf are we doing. quit being fake demons and just post what you know.
