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.

Yeah but most countries have 4-5 weeks and you can negotiate more on top of that.

As a side note. If you are able to negotiate for more pay, you're also able to negotiate for more paid holiday. Just saying.

Anyone from any capital city is a cunt. It is known.

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.

Back in the 90s a British doctor called Andrew Wakefield was bribed by a pharmaceutical company that made separate vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella to come up with a study to discredit the combined mmr vaccine. He found a bunch of parents in an antivax society and twisted the results of a very weighted questionnaire to demonstrate a link between MMR and the 'tism. It was quickly discredited, but the damage was done. He was stripped of his medical licence after that.

If I have to play it with another human being, I will not play it. I play games to escape from the rest of the species not engage with them.

This happened to me. No joke. I lost half a standard deviation from my iq for each child i had. #dunceLife

This is his way of pulling out and saving face (sort of). Just let him pull out and quietly poison his lunch so it doesn't happen again.

A month ago or there abouts, someone posted the statistical breakdown of voting in the last election to Reddit. In the swing states (only the swing states) there was a larger than normal number of ballots where the only thing voted on was the presidential election (Ie not senate or local things). He proposed that Elon had used data from his lottery to select people who he thought were in it for the money and wouldn't actually vote and voted on their behalf. He made quite a compelling argument.
