    Actually, that’s amazing. Like even if you believe in these things, the karmic “payback” for trying to do evil with it is paid immediately by being scammed.

        Who said anything about a man actively hurting a woman? It is possible they did not connect on an emotional or intellectual level and the woman did not accept this.

            Slandering basically everyone who hasn’t considered your angle on this isn’t in anyway productive fam, for them or for you especially; not everyone is complicit because they haven’t looked past the surface level of this and the sort of scenarios that might lead to a woman developing mental illness and seeking nonsense “help” from random Internet scammers.

      My wife and I got scammed like that years ago. We met on Omegle back when it was new and then got married nearly a decade later. Fucking internet scams…

      The fact is that you’ll be filter fed morons who impulsively spend money AND have the money to spare.

      This is the same rationalisation the gambling industry used.

      And then the gaming industry.

      And we know from those instances they’re often not morons, they have mental health issues, or are exceedingly lonely. And they often don’t have the money to spare either, those dollars are food being taken out of their or their family’s mouths.

      But feel free to tell yourself whatever robin hood bullshit you need to if it helps you sleep at night.

      Don’t try and make out that this is some sexist thing, you and tumblr OP are both trying to justify scamming people who you think are bad or stupid. This is the justification that every scammer uses, from the Indian call centres who install malware on old people’s computers (because they are rich and they deserve to be scammed) to the full-on sociopaths who set up pyramid schemes (they deserve it because they’re stupid enough to trust me!)

    I used to work with a guy who sold “haunted jewellery”. He made decent money occasionally. Not job money, but decent hobby money.

    Just look up orgone accumulator on Etsy. Just throw a bunch of copper and crystals at each other and watch the money flow in.

    If you are actively trying to cause someone else (especially reoccurring) harm, I have absolutely ZERO sympathy for you if it doesn’t work. I hope that karma does get you back if that stuff exists, because you earned it.

    Have the courage to own your shit if you insist on trying to do that to someone. Take an ounce of accountability and maybe rethink some of your life decisions. (Probably for about 98% of these situations.)

    Yes, we all get mad. That being said, most of us don’t try to literally curse someone over it. Reasonable people usually talk it out and problem solve, not try to play god using the abilities that they believe someone else has.

          It’s obvious what’s been going on now.

          I would ask you to clarify. But I’ve read your comment on \u\smeg, who commented on the now deleted post of \u\sheeple, and it didn’t get any clearer.

          You seem very passionate about the subject, by it isn’t really clear if you condone or oppose the same thing being done to men.

          But overall you seem to generalize a lot about all of us, calling us sexist and being quite conspiracy-like about it, if we all share a similar agenda.

          I don’t thing that is the case, most of us aren’t that passionate about the subject and just scrolling for memes.

          Generally though, your writing style is very incoherent, and you don’t really get your point across very well. You’re also coming across as aggressive with the way you use words. Both of these are why people are downvoting you.
