Grew up atheist, went through a semi serious pagan phase, got certified as a shaman, went back to atheism. Will still throw in the odd ritual, but more with the expectation that it will affect the way I think about a problem rather than the ritual doing anything on its own.

So like if you have a job interview you can either raw dog it and show your lack of confidence or.preform a ritual and gain some confidence which will count in your favour during the interview.h

Is the ritual doing any direct alterations? No, but it’s still useful.

No idea, it was the neighbour kid’s VCR.

I’m hooking two vhs players together to commit piracy old.

I have a soft hard spot for crazy girls.

I’m pretty sure they only mean birthright citizenship for non white people.

We should be very concerned about any alien species that doesn’t hide from us.

Any one party political system can either fail or be maintained through violent oppression. People need to have a say in who represents them and what their values are.

A more sustainable solution than soviet style communism is to have proportional representation and work on instilling socialist virtues such as kindness, social responsibility, and fairness in the population. over time, the people in government will start to reflect those values.

The only correct response is “uh yeah! I’m honestly a little disappointed you’re not a sponge. Would you be open to dressing like a sponge sometimes?”

The only mods I require are the run speed and decent sprinklers.

It’s become a matter of pride to complete the community centre in the first year. It actually causes me stress if I don’t manage.

Well my 3 year old always asks for Kraftwerk and my 5 year old likes the pumpkins (not my first choice billys voice sounds like a mentally handicapped kitten being drowned in engine oil).

I think trump is more of a kazoo.

The reason Trump is talking about annexing Canada is that Musk wants him to. Musk’s mother is Canadian and born in Regina. This would make musk a natural born citizen of the United States and eligible to become president god emperor for life.

THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SPENT EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS MAKING TRANSGENDER MICE!

Ok, I just looked it up on the post office website and it seems you’re correct. I guess it must have been changed recently.

Nah we just have to follow EU regulations without any of the benefits or ability to influence policy.

It’s possible to get a small boat (couple of berths, simple galley and a shitter) for around $5000 total in Norway. But as with all things this gets progressively more expensive the further north you go. But overall boats are not that expensive here because there are a lot of them. (Supply and demand)

You can get a car that runs for around €3000 in Bergen or Oslo, but used cars get progressively more expensive the further north you go. But getting work done on a car is the expensive thing. I payed around €5000 for my car 3 years ago and last year I spent €3000 getting it passed the control. The problem is that Norway has a harsh coastal climate (salt spray, constantly going above and below freezing etc), and shit roads outside of Oslo. I’ve broken 2 springs, cracked my oil sump, and punctured a tyre just because of shitty roads. And because Norway is outside the EU we pay toll on everything we order from outside Norway, which is most things (including car parts) because Norway doesn’t actually produce anything).

Just had a look at used sailing boats in Norway and there are a fair number for under $10 000. Basically cheaper than a used car or camper. I’d have one if I had somewhere to keep it.
