Like all mystical nonsense, this seems trivial on the surface, but it’s extremely problematic. Sure, you can chalk the experience up to some simple placebo feel goods and “what’s the harm”. The harm is a general belief in magical thinking and distrust of other methods that don’t involve hokum. If this is ok then herbs…

Most of my friends are into these things, we love the aesthetic and witchiness of it all. I think a lot of younger people are into that aspect of it, but I have also met people who are for real into it. It’s disconcerting when the lines cross and you stop a conversation to ask, “wait, are you really into this like…

I’m worried how in today’s society, despite the fact that organized religions are on the decline, pseudo-spiritualistic nonsense like tarot, crystals, angels, psychics, mediums, horoscopes, etc seem to be on the increase.

The life coach thing is the key. Someone who’s good at tarot is about as useful as asking a perceptive, people savvy stranger for some life advice.

You’re 100% full of shit, it’s on page 2 of the fucking form: falsifying or concealing. Enjoy trolling this thread and good luck in life, you’re gross.

Jesus. That’s not true. That’s not at all true. Withholding/omitting information from the OPM investigator is the exact same in the eyes of OPM as lying. The reason it’s rarely prosecuted without other criminal offenses is because the federal government is fucking busy and it’s easier or just revoke clearance or deny…

Have a great night Mr. Sekulow, I hope you get run over by a bus.

Next you are going to say that you can very successfully argue that the sky is green. No you can’t. The e-mails in conjunction with the confirmation that the meeting was attended is sufficient to establish a conspiracy, you terrible troll.

You are an idiot. Jr. implicated himself, Kushner, Manafort, and 45. You only need 2 people for a conspiracy.

At a minimum, it’s conspiring to violate federal election laws though, right?

Every now and then, I wonder how some poster is in the black on Kotaku while I’m still gray. This is one of those times.

If the son’s a twit, you must acquit!

My daily facebook memories are a constant reminder that I was a total fucking shithead and a drug addict about ten years ago. I saw a status the other day that I had written where I was angry about an EBT user in front of me at the store, from back when I lived on my dad’s money while I went to college. That was 19…

Just right quick, since I’m already seeing this in the comments:

This is not a “Freedom of Speech” issue.

The First Amendment protects the rights of US Citizens to freely express any idea (excepting criminal speech, which is very clearly defined within extant legal codes) without fear of reprisal from their government.

While it’s not a 100% fix, the easiest way to deal with a trollish/shitposting past is to publicly own up to it -before- you might gain any fame and apologize. It also helps if you’ve really changed your behavior in a way that folks can see. It’s not fool-proof and there’s always going to be some folks who want you to…

You don’t understand freedom of speech. Also, he’s not American.

It sounds like they may -have- checked, it but due to “Oh shit, let me clean up the steaming piles I’ve been spewing online” panic-fueled deleting, they missed it. However, as the nature of the internet, there’s always several dozen folks who -will- remember when you were being an asshole and have taken steps to make…

lol

This was an uncomfortable read, to say the least. Like all the other not totally cruel people on here, I’m sorry that you’re a real human being who is going to get the very real feedback that this piece/your life situation is terrible. Yikes.
