You make memes on the internet sir, people in glass houses..

What is this? 2012?
- Nah, just a incel upset that they got rejected again
  
  Guy: doesn't like superstitious bullshit
  You: heh, incel
  Crazy, like literal super sleuth detective work here.
  
  I'm married BTW 😂.
  Anyway, I didn't make the meme, I found it on reddit, but I did think it was interesting to post it here and see the reactions from people.

This meme is bad and you should feel bad.
- Nuh uh

- I know off topic. Why does everyone assume the big bad wants a throne room? Like if I was given unlimited resources I don't think I would sit in a chair all day in a boring ass room. That's like what some reptile in human form would do.
  
  Throne room = Medieval streaming room
- Die, monster! You don't belong in this world!

Gatekeeping spiritually is ugly.

Dude just described spirituality 🤷

Why is he saying no? I think that is what spiritual means .
- No, there is no spiritual without spirits. Or alcohol.
  
  alcohol is a holy substance designed to allow man to communicate with God's holy machines (cars) more efficiently and deeply
  
  That’s the spirit

such a negative way to put it. I smoke weed. Into geology. Who doesn't like fossils right?
And who doesn't have some kind of internal monologue, even if it's just the 'haha you fucked that up nicely' sarcasm when you bang your feet on some furniture? slandering all those decent, fine things with spirituality seems rude, and uncalled for.
- That was my reaction as well.
  "I do have voices in my head. They're called thoughts, and I highly recommend the experience."
  
  “I do have voices in my head. They’re called thoughts, and I highly recommend the experience.”
  Well put!
- Some people evidently do not hear a voice in their head. It generally blows the minds of people who do, but minds are so varied its possible we're misunderstanding each other when discussing voices in head. Similar to the question if two people see red, but only know it's red because someone taught them, can we be absolutely sure we both experience the exact same "red"?
  If your mental white balance is off, everything would vary in the same amount, but if you could b9th project the image you see somehow into another mind it would look different.
  
  I hear my voice(as if I'm talking to myself), but it sounds like you mean another voice?

- lol 🤣🤣🤣

Yeah, she's spiritual. Good thing none of that is up to you.

Holy shit...am I spiritual too?

"They are minerals, Marie!"

Jesus Christ Marie they're minerals

I'm not spiritual and i still hear voices
- Don't smoke weed then, trust me on this.
  
  Confirming that pot gives me strong auditory hallucinations (but only in the presence of enough white noise)
  I still smoke though
  
  We're curious why

I don't care I will date her
- As long as it's furry and nasty
- Booty call, yes. Dating, no. Trust me on this.

Reminder to look out for the Lunar Festival when it comes around in the warmer months. It's fun, lots of vendors and cool stuff to check out. Lots of weed smoking rock collectors with voices in their heads, as one might expect ❤️
- I can get down with the weed part 😁.

Always has been.

Op is not immune to propaganda
- Just like everyone else 🤷.

I collect gold. Gold is a rock.
- I drink water. Water is a lava type. I am a lava monster.

Yup, but on the flip side if she smoked rocks and collected weed now we're onto something.

It's whatever do what you want, just don't take it seriously.

“I’m spiritual”
Doesn’t even believe in spirits, just chi, magic rocks, and Wiccan magic
On another note, if I believe in The Holy Spirit, does that make me spiritual or religious?
- if I believe in The Holy Spirit, does that make me spiritual or religious?
  Both, they're not mutually exclusive
  
  Unless you believe that the Holy Spirit has granted you magical powers (miracles) in exchange for following specific demands (Commandments), in which case you're a warlock.

This meme has been reported as misogyny. Upon investigation the complaint has been dismissed.
- It's kinda sexist tho.
  
  But you could swap the sexes or have them both be men and it would still work, so I'm not sure that it really is sexist.
  
  Kind of a self own, no?
  The one reporting it is thinking “some girls do be like that tho”.
- I did want to provoke a discussion though, that was my point. I am guilty of that.
  I didn't make the meme, found it in the wild. I rarely make my own.

Yes, and?

Death cult dudes be like "whereas I only fall under one of those"

There are plenty of men also into this tendency of hipster spiritualism - Alistair Crowley and all that shit, Terrence McKenna, wild body piercings and tattoos - so it might have been a fifty-fifty chance that the caricature would have landed on either gender.
I wonder what the crowd reaction would be if it was a couple in there, instead of just a single female.
- Or a just male...
  I usually post these "dubious" memes in order to start a debate or just to see what the crowd here on Lemmy is like. Far better than a poll, people usually get triggered fast over memes like this.
  Judging by the votes, it's about 3/1 thus far in favor of "logic".

What ever is "spiritual" though? Not in a gotcha way, in legit wondering about it, because everyone i ask just says what boils do "some stuff I do sometimes", which doesn't sound like the right answer.
- Every answer I've gotten boils down to being afraid of there being nothing else. People find whatever poppycock to justify the "I'm sure there's something more".
- If you just have curiosity to know what "spritual" is, I'd recommend seeing a man on YouTube, his name is J Krishnamurti. He has answers to your questions. But you indeed has to have courage and willingness to listen what the man says.

  What a weird answer. I've never needed courage to hear a definition of a word before

I feel seen.

Very true

Ngl, that spiritual stuff is kinda hot

Why not all

psst; all the hot ones are superstitious. if you don't play along you won't get to tap that.
- psst, I agree, but I'm not trying to date on Lemmy, I'm just shitposting here.
  
  oh. why would you go to the effort to post something hateful if you don't even believe it?
