![]() Now the pill is experiencing new life as a funny little suffix that makes all interests and proclivities sound more dramatic. About eight years ago, boys who were spending too much time on the internet-usually on 4chan or Reddit-began to use taking the red pill as code for “choosing to realize that feminism is destroying society and my life.” The phrase was adopted by other far-right political subcultures and slowly came to mean that a person had been radicalized in some way. But unlike lots of memes, this one didn’t start as a neutral joke about a famous movie. ![]() ![]() The red pill will wake you up to all the horrors of reality, and the blue pill will let you stay clueless and happy in a simulated dreamworld.

When the treatment ended he looked at me and said, “My parents were here!” One time I decided against telling a fellow I had seen his parents in the room, but it didn’t matter. Usually, they are standing at their right shoulder. When I came around that corner I saw my husband for the first time.Ĭlairsentenience My clairsentient ability is the least developed, though I do have a fairly clear sense of people when I meet them or even just see a photograph.Ĭlairvoyance Through this Clair I have had the experience of “seeing” my client’s loved ones during a Reiki treatment. As my friend and I were moving through the dance club headed for the exit that night I came to a junction at which I heard (in my head) very clearly, “Go this way.” For some reason, I didn’t hesitate. I have it to thank for meeting my husband. I have never seen a forge before so how did I know it was a forge?Ĭlairaudience This is my strongest Clair. There were no defining characteristics of a forge, no tools in the picture.
