ICQ will stop working on June 26. It’s encouraging users to migrate to a messaging app from Russia-based VK, its parent company.

I stopped using ICQ in the very early 00s. I didn’t know anything of it still remained.

    How did that end? I need details about all of it. The dreams, the seer, the treatment, the outcome.

    If you don’t mind.

        Such a lazy take. Obviously you don’t have any experience with the early internet occult scene. Why, then, would you give an opinion on something you know nothing about?

          Early, late, or no Internet, the occult scene has always been a made up bunch of mumbo jumbo. One doesn’t need experience with it to know that.

            You seem to know the subject. Who exactly are you referring to ? Are there some practices in particular that have caught your attention ? Some specific communities maybe ?

              Nothing specific. Talking to ghosts, spirits, or seeing visions is a child’s game. Getting someone to pay you money to talk to spirits ghosts, or see visions, is a con man’s game. Both are made up, one is acceptable.

                Sounds like your view on the subject is mostly informed by Hollywood. A bit irrational if you ask me, and certainly very dogmatic.

                If for some reason you decide to check out a fact-based approach on the subject i can recommend a few Youtube channels that are free, hosted by accredited scholars, and offer in-depth, well researched, long form content on the history of spiritual movements. It is so fucking interesting man. It’s like the B-Sides of the history of ideas, and has a lot more impact on the Age of Science than you realize.
