trust your gut - your subconcsious is picking up on something that isn’t right.

Trust your gut. Intuition is legit a sixth sense; you may not consciously be aware of anything to give you reason to feel that way, but you’ve likely unconsciously noticed something.

Assuming there are people who can talk to the dead, doesn’t this make it seem like when you did you turn into a real asshole telling people shit they already know? What a weird movie that would be. Ghost Douche.

I tend not to trust ANYTHING that strokes the human ego

Seriously — mediums make the dead seem so fucking boring. Please give me sweet nothingness over this!

Plus, if she stays married and he abuses them, the courts can and likely will terminate her rights.

E! truly gets the bottom of the barrel at every quarter because their entire brand is the Kardashians 1) no show will ever match its gargantuan brand as equal-level content that they can legitimately make into a themed night 2) because the Ks are not professionals, they are constantly looking for specific…

From his words, I get the tingly *feeling* that he is more so trying to convince himself of his supernatural abilities, than he is trying to convince his readers. It seems like his internal narrative is: “It must be legit, because I thought it before they validated it.” Anyway, I thought that when we die (given…

I’ve seen some weird in my life, so I’m inclined to believe a lot of things that many people won’t, but these people are so obviously grifters. It’s upsetting that people are so desperate that they are willing to push aside any doubts and buy into this crap.

one of my coworkers was super excited to go to one of his book signings.

The whole concept of “mediums” just grosses me out. I believe that there are some people out there who have a more developed sense of intuition than others, but this whole business about “the spirits” actually communicating through them is utter nonsense. If there’s a hell (which I don’t think there is), there is a…

“His book is similarly narratively askew”
