So we're sure this isn't a bot? How?
Its not a bot.
Not all people think/act/talk in same way.
Plus, he often makes too good arguments to be a bot.

Arranged marriages seem to have better results than western marriage
Well, probably shouldnt compare it to the west.
There are traditional values and arranged marriages.
There are traditional values without arranged marriages.
And then there is no traditional values at all, which describes many western countries filled with divorce and single parents who dont even have time for their kids.

Looks like we are at least 60% in agreement, although when it comes to trans, migrants, Ukraine, Russia, I really have no strong opinions there. I might as well flip a coin on which side to support there today and it wouldnt make any difference.
Child marriages - I oppose because I think people shouldnt get married before 16 or 15.
Guns, I hate guns. If someone attempted to shoot me, I maybe wouldnt even care enough to run away, let alone buy a gun to defend myself.
Gay, I cant really judge much.
Israel I hate because they are cruel.

Wrong. A good moral code is one that when implemented makes you less of a pussy. No pain no gain. HG
Now thats a good counter argument.
Pain is often necessary to get stronger. In fact, you cannot even work without experiencing pain.
I am surprised no one else thought of that. Everyone else ran away from the most obvious counter argument.

@Mharman
everything I said is irrelevant
Yeah, you made a mistake of confusing "not causing pain" with "preventing pain".
Despite being two completely different things, people often confuse them for being same because people dont know the difference between action and lack of action.

Are we causing pain by denying someone their pleasures?
No, me not giving you a blowjob doesnt make me at fault for anything, even if your pleasure is denied and pain is caused to you due to lack of blowjob.

why not wait and see the net positive results are possible first, then resume the diminishing of life?
Net positive are not possible, as suffering is unavoidable.
Keep in mind euthanasia so don't even argue back about pain and suffering.
Euthanasia doesnt prevent all the suffering in the world.
We have people that want to pursue happiness even if the cost is heartache.What gives you the right or a so called parent to take that right away outside of the law ?
Rights which can exist only if there is unwanted suffering of others are not rights in any sense of the word, as they are a violation and not equal rights of any kind.

You would want to continue to deny that.
Yes.
I cannot know that my offspring will be happy.
I also cannot know that my offspring wont be in pain.
However, statistically, certain percentage of people are in pain.
Plenty of people suffer greatly. I dont wanna be adding more to the pile of suffering.
Also, even if 99 out of 100 people are happy, the existence of just 1 person who suffers makes that entire world immoral, and creating that world is immoral.
If you cannot create only happy people, better not create anything at all.

I agree that Christianity is often bad, even tho I enjoy Christian teachings and prayers.
Its horrible what happened to you, and I believe you because it is possible that religion causes shame and discomfort and other health problems to people who were in Christianity and were affected by its teaching on an emotional level.
Do you think it is possible to change the way your brain is programmed by changing thinking?
I always thought that ignoring truth is bad, but to me it seems that not ignoring it is worse as truth is often cruel and it hurts to think about it.
Take nature for example, a place where surival and comfort of one animal is conditioned by other animal being eaten alive.

humans are parasites that have non-consentual sex with the entire ecosystem and rape all life upon the earth.
Thats why I hate being human. Its really a curse, not a blessing.
It would be far better for me if I was an innocent butterfly just flying around for some time.
I dont really see any benefits in being human.
If I dont eat meat, I suffer. If I eat meat, animals suffer.
My life has suffering as its non-separable component.
Still, I wouldnt recommend ending life.
I find my ways to live a life so that I have some joy.
The first step is ignoring and not thinking about any negative things.
As long as you think about bad things, you will feel bad.
Thinking about good things makes you feel slightly better than thinking about bad things.

I admit, its a shame that my supreme genes go extinct, but this is the world ruled by inferiors and any attempt to change the balance right now is pointless because world does not really reward people according to intelligence or being good and holy.
Also, there is no other person like me to reproduce with, and reproduction of supreme with inferior rarely results in superior offspring.

Is homophobia akin to so called racism?
No. Its not same. Hence the different definition.
Can you disagree with a skin color?
Yes.
Are you fearful of skin color?
Yes.
Are you fearful of genetic annihilation?
No, I am a virgin and my genes will go extinct by never reproducing, which is good because I wouldnt want to have an offspring which goes through all the pain the world has to offer.

Well, if I have to choose between me suffering or someone else suffering, I would prefer that the other person takes the burden of suffering.

Would you say that Rider Waite deck is superior to other tarot decks?
I seem to have found it on one app which has many tarot decks.
I can actually recreate most of the tarot decks with playing cards (poker cards) in real life.
I just cant recreate the ones which have more than 52 cards.
For Rider Waite and similar, I just take their major arcana cards, which I know is kinda worse because I am only using 22 cards, but to me it seems good enough for a start.
Playing cards are also possible to be used on their own without copying meaning from tarot.
Cartomancy.

@Deb-8-a-bull
Thats 52 plus naked chicks , cause theres one on each.
So tarot is useful in more than one way.
Created:
Now, I usually hate math, but I had to wonder.
If tarot gives 50% yes answers and 50% no answers, is it always correct 50% of the time?
Yea.
If some situation has 0% chance of happening, tarot will still give true answer 50% of the time and wrong answer 50% of the time.
For example, in theory, tarot yields 50 "yes" answers and 50 "no" answers out of 100 readings.
So if situation has 0% chance of being right and was always "no", the tarot would accurately guess "no" 50% of the time.
What if something only had 1% chance of happening?
Tarot would still have 50% chance of guessing if it will happen or not.
Tarot is magic, really. It is above science.

But most of the people are wrong in most cases, so tarot is good for them.

So I guessed 2 out of 5.
you clearly applied probability rather than divination
Well, one can apply both, but tarot has probability of 50% of being right.
The probability numbers came from number of cards saying yes.

@WyIted
Tarot can also guess outcomes by "yes and no" on many options, because the amount of "yes" cards given to each option implies their possibility.
I know, because I sometimes use it to decide which new game I am going to play.
Still, you asked for a specific reading with specific deck, so I hope if I just take meanings from that deck and apply it to regular playing cards, you will get desired result.
Card 1 - Present
Strength: Inner strength, courage, endurance, and the ability to harness and control powerful emotions
Card 2 - Challenge
The Devil: Temptation, addiction, materialism, and the importance of freeing oneself from negative influences
Card 3 - The past
The Hermit: Signifies introspection, solitude, soul-searching, and seeking answers from within
Card 4 - The future
Judgement: Represents personal reflection, self-evaluation, rebirth, and redemption.
Card 5 - Above (your goal)
The Tower: Sudden change, upheaval, chaos, and the breaking down of old structures to create something new.
Card 6 - Below
Justice: Suggests fairness, balance, truth, and making ethical decisions.
Card 7 - Advice
The Lovers: Signifies love, relationships, choices, and the need to find balance between emotions and reason
Card 8 - External influences
The Fool: Represents new beginnings, taking risks, and embracing uncertainty.
Card 9 - Hopes and/or fears
The Emperor: Represents authority, structure, stability, and the ability to organize and control
Card 10 - Outcome
The High Priestess: Signifies intuition, deep wisdom, hidden knowledge, and spirituality.
It seems like your solitude and search for answers in the past has led to you building up of strength, endurance, courage and allowed you to control your emotions to a great level.
But your main challenge is still temptation, addiction, materialism, and the importance of freeing oneself from negative influences.
There will be negative influences affecting you, and you can either reject their influence or accept their influence.
You can accept temptation and addiction and materialism, or you can reject them.
Both of these choices affect your final outcome.
Your future consists of personal reflection, self-evaluation, rebirth, and redemption.
This means that in the future, you will go on the path of questioning your self and you will be a different person than you are now, different depending on how you respond to challenge.
You will also have to go through redemption for something from past or present.
Your goal is sudden change, upheaval, chaos, and the breaking down of old structures to create something new.
You want to significantly change yourself or the world around you.
In a way, your goal is connected to your future, because the new thing you create will add to the new you regardless.
You will not just change the external world, but you will also change your thinking and your life.
Deep in your heart, you want fairness and truth, balance and you want to make ethical decisions.
To do that, you need love, relationships, good choices, and you need to find balance between emotions and reason.
Since your main challenge is related to emotions, you need to add reason to emotions, always.
Whats not under your control is new beginnings, taking risks, and embracing uncertainty.
It seems that you cannot fully control when or how will new beginning happen. You also cannot fully control your risk taking, and you cannot decide to embrace uncertainty or not.
This means that risk taking you have taken in past affects outcome now, even tho you cannot control it.
You are also at risk now, but you cant do anything about it.
You cannot right now deal with uncertainty, but it will affect the outcome.
You both hope and fear authority, structure, stability, and you both hope for and fear of ability to organize and control.
While your goal is to break down structure, your hope is also to establish structure, and your fear is related to you having stability in that structure. You want to be able to organize and control the new structure, but you also fear of that too, because you think you might be incapable of control and organization in a way you really desire it to be.
The outcome is that hidden knowledge will be revealed to you. What you dont know now, you will know in the future, but first you must overcome temptation, addiction, materialism, and negative influences.
You will do that through love, relationships, good choices, and finding balance between emotions and reason, always adding reason to emotions.

Now, for future notes, asking tarot same question twice can yield two contradicting results and upset tarot, which demands a third same question to break a tie so that two answers outweigh one.
Let me ask tarot a third time if you will get wealthy, because answers to questions 5 and 3 contradict.
Result:
Tarot again answered that there is 80% chance you will get wealthy, so it will probably go well for you.

- Was my life intended to go this way
Yes.
This answer is 60% correct.
- Is she the one?
No.
This answer is 60% correct.
- Do I end up wealthy?
Yes.
This answer is 80% correct, so I would say you have about 80% chance of ending up wealthy in terms of what you considered wealthy when asking the question.
I dont know if its money or good life or some achievement..., but it is what you had in mind.
- Should I make the move?
Yes.
This answer is 60% correct.
- Is this test accurate?
No.
This answer is 80% correct.
Now, I must say that 60% correctness can go both ways, just slightly leaning towards yes.
80% is almost certain.

I disagree.
If I had cancer, I would rather not know it for as long as possible.
But yes, there are some benefits of knowing, but I think of it in this way:
If I knew that I am going to get hit by car today and killed, I would be upset and scared all day.
But if I dont know and it happens suddenly, I will be happy most of the day until car hits me.
Plus, there could be mental effect of telling people its nothing serious.
The cancer survival rates arent exactly high, but good mood might help and its kinda hard to be in good mood when dying from cancer and knowing it.

Well, I could, but I cant. It would be a lot of work.
I would have to ask tarot about each number individually about yes or no.
I think there are too many numbers, not worth the effort.
Tarot has about 50% success rate in guessing if something is yes or no as long as question itself has 50 50 chances of being yes or no, but with too many numbers in lottery, I am afraid my divination powers arent that high.

I defended in recent debate that people with cancer shouldnt be told that they have cancer, because it might upset them. They should instead be told that its nothing serious, and that they will get better soon.
