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.

The laws on false advertising and such straight up only protect reasonable people. If you make a claim that a reasonable person wouldn't believe, and someone unreasonable does believe it, have you even committed a crime? 🤔

Like psychics exist. But they peddle bullshit. Why is that legal?

[-] Stamets@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

Completely agree. I think it's based on provability though. You can't prove that a psychic is lying unless you have an admission of guilt from them. Same with people who cast 'spells' or who go up on stage preaching this incredibly dangerous "law of attraction" garbage. They're all utter bullshit but none of them are provably bullshit.

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.

I’m jealous I didn’t think of it first.

Moneymancer, now I have a new goal for my life.

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.

lawful evil or chaotic good?

Chaotic neutral

I've been seriously considering a dark hustle. Something aimed at evil assholes (I was going to make a list of examples but then I realized everything I thought of was just a subset right-winger). e.g. A beer so offensive the fuck faces will flock to it but it'll have a bunch of "technically legal, but probably really bad in excess, or mixed with coke" ingredients. Find some toxic shitbag to be the face of it, fuck him over with every dirty capitalist trick in the book, and make sure he takes the fall when the bad press and lawsuits start rolling in...

Wait, am I just way late to the party?
