That’s me, I’m a complete dumbass but I like history and recognize that to know the most about history I need to understand it in an interdisciplinary way. Which is how me an barely high-schools graduate has a working understanding of trade networks and macro-economics because how else am I to understand the Late Bronze Age collapse and it’s causes.

Yeah it’s throwing me off bad but im not gonna complain too much. I’m in the San Bernardino foothills it should not be this cool in June, maybe in middle July if we’re lucky but not June.

Meanwhile I’m in SoCal and it’s barely breaking past 70f in fucking June. Climate change is real but I’m actually enjoying it right now, now if only I wasn’t a pale motherfucker then I could enjoy it without being reduced to burnt bacon by UV.

Personally I can and will ramble towards my cats about the intricacies of late Bronze Age trade networks in Central Italy. They slap me for it. I see no reason for human interactions given that I have honest counters to my pre-existing madness.

As someone who just installed bazzite today and fucked around with Mint a couple months ago this is very much true. Kinda reminds me of bashing Windows 98 into doing what I wanted.

I read the Bible multiple times and found it lacking, be it the hypocrisy, the abuse, or the dishonor within I found little more than disgust for the god of Abraham. Which is funny as I went in trying to strengthen a pitiful bit of faith.

The same cannot be said for my readings of the Poetic Edda and the Pros Edda, while not instant it did create a new faith in me and like the World Serpent growing in the ocean I soon found it strong and unyielding.

It wasn’t instant nor was it a choice in a direct sense, but it was my choice to further embrace the teachings of the Old Gods and to follow Odin. Fact of the matter is there is nothing you or any other Bible thumper could do to break my faith, frankly you’re more likely to just piss me off and encourage me to invoke sacred bloodshed which is to say bash you over the head until ya stop twitching.

Look up early synchrotism between Aphrodite/ Isis/ Venus cults and early/ proto Christianity unironically interesting shit but also abscure as fuck.

Also I’ve taken a long look at your Christ and found him lacking even if he is respectable. But I have willingly chosen to follow the Allfather, I rarely back out of my choices.

Maybe to you it corrupts the soul but to me it’d count as a holy blowjob, fornication ain’t a sin in my faith. Lest you couldn’t tell by my invocation of the Allfather let me make it far simpler for ya, I worship Odin the chief god of the Aesir not Yahweh or Christ or Muhammad. So from my perspective who gives a fuck if some priest or priestess gives blowjobs to their congregation, sacred prostitution used to be a thing even in early Christianity let alone outside of your religious structure.

Look I’m getting stabbed in the gut regardless let’s just get it over with.

Then by the Allfather you must be committing the sin of being a buzzkill. Let folks have their holy blowjobs, if ya need to go to a priest for that you prolly don’t have much else going for ya.

Could be that or it could even be that the service went to shit and they have no way of getting out of contract. I talked to one guy who worked C-suite at a small company and apparently the previous CEO before his boss sign a shit contract back in 2018 for hiring services from one of these companies, they want to terminate it but even circumnavigation of the contract risks severe penalties, their solution to getting new staff is to literally have people spin up a shell company buy and absorb it then onboard the socalled employees.

Frankly it seems these hiring companies are just parasites that popped up due to companies not knowing how to do online shit. Then fucking everyone over via shitty contracts.

Is this the type of frog where I get high if I lick it or does it just kill me or both.

Pretty sure this is a subset of the freedom vs liberty concept. Just cause you technically have the freedom to take an action doesn’t mean you have the social, mental, or economic liberty to act apon it.

Hell I know damned well I can act on my violent impulses but even for myself I would have to work myself into a state where my social conditioning wouldn’t be a factor anymore. Pretty damned hard to override mental restraints you’ve had built up since you were nine, though I can drop into it pretty fast it’d take either me being attacked or me needing to work myself into it before hand.

My point is most folks don’t really have the mental infrastructure required to just drop into violence on a whim, which IMO is nominally a good thing since at minimum it means most threats to oneself has been abstracted away.

Meanwhile with me it’s just the No Gods, No Masters NV achievement. Either that or the Clean and Righteous! Achievement from Red Faction Guerrilla.

Some do, but at least with my 01 Toyota Tacoma it has a bench seat with headrests and full seat belts, though I guess any hypothetical poor bastard who gets the middle bitch seat is fucked.

Ideally yes for all of these with maybe the exception of wheelchairs, cars should be small enough and roads large enough to accommodate small man powered vehicles.

Hey now don’t disrespect my boys in the CIS.

Honestly the only helicopters I’d trust are VTOLs that lean more toward the plain side of things, mostly because then they can glide and don’t just rush towards the ground.

Sure but that’s one country. Mind you I’m more or less referring to the anglosphere but I’ve noticed it as a general trend overall, it may also be effecting other western nations as well I’m just not aware on that front. Don’t get me wrong I’m kinda happy the Japanese are so open with that shit but it’s still frustrating when they seem to be the only ones, also localization censorship is still a thing and can get fucked six ways from Sunday.

I get what you’re saying and I agree to an extent but even shit like that doesn’t really exist anymore. Like I said it feels like something over corrected when moving away from objectification and right into puritanism. I don’t quite have the verbage required to quite explain what I mean, it just kinda feels like a lot of media and even culture is outright sex averse in a weird way.
