Prayers and spells are exactly the same behavior, a ritual for asking greater powers to intercede on your behalf. For people who genuinely believe in it there's always some "works in mysterious ways" shit to justify when the thing they asked for never happens so they can keep believing it anyway, and as long as they ask in a vague enough way and on a vague enough timeline something will eventually happen that fits the bill close enough for them to call it a success. For people who don't believe it literally but still participate it's basically just ritualized affirmation, a self pep talk to make them feel more confident or prepared or calm using religious/occult symbolism to psychologically reinforce the effect.

Also lol @ describing my verifiably accurate single-sentence statement that North Korea was subjected to one of the most aggressive bombing campaigns in history as a "misinformation diatribe", either you genuinely don't understand what the words you're using mean or you're a lying sack of shit, embarassing either way

According to the methodologically worthless reports of one guy who died in the 60s, "i ate this and I'm feeling fine, trust me bro"

It took me all of 30 seconds in the linked wiki article to find this

"Arctic physiologist Kåre Rodahl has written that Stefansson's diet on his arctic explorations should not be confused with the Eskimo diet as the Eskimos in addition to meat and fat also "eat considerable quantities of entrails and plant food in the form of land plants and sea algae" and during the summer, marine algae makes up 50% of their vitamin C supply.[26]"

A disaster? Be serious

Liberals =/= the left

Same reason they hate the words socialism and communism, because they were told to and they're really stupid

"Psychologist" just means they were able to complete a degree program at all, C's get degrees

That is exactly what I was picturing, intersecting cracks for maximum output

I was obsessed with KoL back in high school! I think my first account from '04 still exists, there was some sort of miscode of one of the early Crimbo items that accidentally granted undeletable status to an account, so despite years of inactivity it was still there when I last checked almost a decade ago lol

Edit: my account still exists! Guess I'm gonna pick right back up on whatever a "BIG!" hardcore run is

It's not physically impossible, but it would be historically unprecedented, so maybe don't plan on it

Terrorism is not a valid red line, it is absolutely unavoidable in the pursuit of freedom from overwhelming colonial oppression, condemning resistance movements for doing the only things that have ever actually worked for driving occupiers out is moronic and ethically bankrupt
