My stance on the current trend of using The Lesser Key of Solomon at work and in one's personal life:

1. There's no evidence these evil spirits really are the 72 princes mentioned in The Lesser Key (and their innumerable minions). They only started telling us their "names" after someone incorporated the text of Ars Goetia in a (poorly-worded) binding ritual.

2. There's also no evidence that anyone's binding rituals actually work. It's always the same thing: Belial is asked to clean someone's house but burns it down instead and then everyone blames the binding ritual, summoning circle, wand, chalice, etc.

3. While most wizards report that making dark pacts with imps improves their spell-casting ability there are plenty of other familiars that are safer and more trustworthy.

4. There's a trend of reassuring people about this by asking spirits like Asmodeus the Prince of Lies if they are being truthful. This feels naive at best and actively malicious at worst.

5. It's not clear to me that risking your immortal soul to make your boss a bit richer is a good idea, to say nothing of risking your immortal soul to do a better job keeping up with email.

6. Just because everyone else has already torn innumerable holes in reality and brought forth legions of demons into our universe does not change my own feelings about it, though it certainly motivates a heightened level of interest in exorcisms and abjuration magic.

Vous avez peut-être vu passer cette pétition pour interdire les "thérapies" de conversion au niveau de l'UE.

1. ce n'est pas une pétition change.org à la con, mais une initiative institutionnelle, qui peut faire changer les choses très légalement et concrètement

2. ça prend 30s et nécessite votre nom, votre adresse et votre date de naissance, c'est tout

Qu'on soit concerné.e.s ou juste allié.e.s, on signe ! C'est la dernière ligne droite. Ne me forcez pas à poster une chanson d'Europe https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/screen/home

"I am starting a petition to no longer refer to AI "art" as AI art but instead as Computer-Rendered Artificial Pictures (CRAP).

Pass it on."

"I was born in 1994"

- boring
- heard it before
- tells you nothing

"I was born in the year of Cotton Eye Joe"

- arouses curiosity
- who was Cotton Eye Joe
- where did he come from?
- where did he go?
- Cotton Eye Joe

Amazing life hack: learn how to be genuinely happy for other people. Don't feel threatened by others' happiness. Don't go into comparison mode. Don't be a wet blanket. Don't avoid it.

Embrace others' happiness. Bask in it. Let their smile become your smile. Let it infect you. Let it lift you up.

The EU should demand that American Big Tech sell their assets to European companies. They can’t be trusted to not manipulate the data for propaganda reasons.

Not doing so is a national security risk.

Am I doing this right?
