Tarot is a lot of fun! It’s like storytelling. I think if you go into it with an idea that it’s more reflective than predictive or prescriptive it’s more enjoyable.
I’ve found most of the fortune teller people who give tarot a bad rep are really just using the storefront as a means to sell fake purses and weed.
Hey man, I do it all - waiting for it to catch up with me :)
Some that haven’t been mentioned:
Prolonged Sitting Prolonged Loud Headphone Use Off-Label Drug Use (e.g., Ozempic, Wegovy) Sun/Heat/Poor Air Exposure Thiamine/B1 Deficiency via Alcohol Consumption
We know they’re all dangerous (to wildly varying extents), but I don’t think we’ve had enough moments-of-reckoning, like with emphysema and lung cancer following long term smoking.
For me personally, I never saw too many powermod-driven issues on Reddit (not that they didn’t occur, just that I didn’t experience them in the communities in which I participated).
One solution was to create a fork; lots of “r/actual___” or “r/true___” communities were born this way. To Little8Lost’s point, I think this will be even easier on Lemmy.
TL;DR - you should. We collectively need to reassess how we tackle this kind of behaviour.
We have weird partitions for things. It’s sort of clear the division isn’t really state v. state or country v. country, it’s urban pockets versus rural spreads. You can make inferences regarding accesses to resources, education, meaningful work, etc. as you will.
The political delta between Northern/Southern California, Eastern/Western Colorado+Washington, Upstate/Downstate New York, is FAR more significant than USA/Canada.
Alberta would slot in easily into the US Southeast. Ontario would slot in easily into the US Northeast/Northwest.
I worry for Canada (and the US, and many countries), because people are more or less the same everywhere (despite their grandest objections), and are quite susceptible to the same rhetoric and influential activity across the board.
Facts, nothing is better than getting $200 of psychedelics in a Channel bag and a free reading of your heart line.
