Europe’s free speech is far more free than the US

But not Europes FREEZEPEACH™! And freezepeach is all that matters

Actually not. They quickly dried, took about 5-10 minutes while walking. Sure a little bit slippery at first but somehow that soon turned into even better (sticky) grip.

Played in a creek. Didn’t take shoes off. Was awesome, can recommend.

Not as much reading but I’m taking much of my cues regarding mythology from Red over at Overly Sarcastic Productions (https://www.youtube.com/@OverlySarcasticProductions).

Two related videos
Wrath of Demeter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhhANZKerug
Hades and Persephone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac5ksZTvZN8

What I especially like about their content is that there is plenty of source critique. Things are seldom presented as “this is the exact truth”. Mentioned in the video about Hades and Persephone is “we don’t know the original myth” which I find telling of much of their mythology work.

Demeter is up there.

Her baby father (Zeus), aka the big douchebag, married away her daughter Persephone to his brother Hades. Patriarchy does what patriarchy does. The brothers were aware neither Persephone nor Demeter would approve of the deal so Hades had to kidnap Persephone and force the deal upon her.

So Persephone were abducted and her mother were beyond herself with worry about her absence. Once Demeter learnt about the deal she threw the hissy fit that all hissy fits are measured against. Plants stopped growing, livestock stopped giving birth and the world soon was in a cataclysmic state. Behold a mother’s justified wrath and tremble.

Douchebag-in-chief was forced to negotiate but wouldn’t anull the whole deal. Only that Persephone would spend half her time with her mother (spring, summer) and the other half with the husband forced upon her (autumn, winter).

I’ve got a new camping hammock that I want to go out and try out. With a bit of rain during the week the fire danger will drop because a little coze fire is awesome. Not sure how much it will drop but at least it will drop enough for the camping stove. I need my fresh coffee damn you.

And yes we have had a fire ban since last week. Probably lifted now after a good rainy day.

Swede yes. Fil is our national variant of soured milk. Runnier than yoghurt but still creamy, about same fat content as milk.

By the wiki article it sounds very similar. Milk plus micro culture equals deciciousness.

Imma fight y’all.

No milk. Use fil (sour milk), yoghurt or something similar. Put cereal on top, no mixing. The cereal touching the “liquid” get soggy while the rest stays crisp giving the best texture heterogeneity. Berries are awesome, frozen a super convenient alternative. If using frozen mix these with dairy before adding cereal.

Your fermented dairy of choice brings a nice crispy and fresh acidity to the meal. And if it (still) have an active bacterial culture it is super good for your gut.

Muesli is best cereal.

Honey only approved sweetener.

Why is mercury ranked second despite having the same number of medals (zero) as the unranked ones? Who did Mercury pay off for this “mistake” to happen? Is big Mercury subtly trying to influence our perception of them?

Sports and politics go hand-in-hand.

I enjoy it and the extra scrolling doesn’t bother me. Well it bothers me much less that the information it provides.

Law and order is pretty much textbook authoritarian. No left/right bias in that. But he is very much not for redistrbution of wealth nor any empowerment of the workers.

Tarkin is auth-right. Almost textbook. Would move Vader to more center-right as he often ignores or works against (some) chain of command.

If you can afford to save then I highly recommend you to save up for classes. Not just for the exercise aspect but (primary) as a safety measure.

Floating around on ones back is seriously underrated. You just drift around a bit, relax and disconnect for a bit.

Arrow up. Multiple times.

Hades was such a looser and couldn’t get a wife of his own so he went to Zeus (his brother and Persephone’s father) and asked for Persephone’s hand. He granted it knowing that neither Persephone nor Demeter would approve of it. Patriarchs be patriarchin’. So Hades lured upon Persephone and snatched her when he found her alone. Not cool.

If I squint just the right way I think I can see in Greek mythology the process of how the indo-europeans with their sky-daddy inched out the older mythology. Unfortunately we know (comparatively) little about these cultures. And I think we have no written records…

Demeter didn’t just cause a famine. She threw the fit of the ages, a wrath only a mother could bring forth. Her anger and indignation was so great she brought Zeus to the bargaining table. Demeter stopped everything growing, throwing the world into winter. Or the season of non-growth. Only when it was agreed that Persephone could spend half the year with her mother on the surface did her mother’s wrath subside and spring returned. But every year, when Persephone has to return to the underworld, plants wither yet again. ’

Demeter is cool y’all.

An alternative for me is pretty much useless if it’s not an alternative for my groups. Those I use discord with. It is more likely we migrate to a corporate solution than a foss one.
