Systlin, how do I do offerings? Do I have to burn things, and if so, all the way to ash? What about food? Or tea? Do I just dedicate things and let them sit for a while before I chuck them? Bury them? I don’t have a garden, though. I think Loki and maybe Thor have been around, and two ravens moved into my local park where none have ever been seen before, and I think it’s time for me to acknowledge all of that, I just don’t know how! Help, please?

systlin:

If you burn things…well, I just take the ash outside and dump it on the lilacs. They like the lime and potash.In any other case, if you burn something just chuck the ash.

As for food…offer it, and then it’s fine to eat it yourself if you want. Cultures have done THAT for thousands of years. Same for drink. The gods take the ‘spirit’ of it. You take the mortal remains into yourself. You can let it sit on an altar if you wish, and then eventually throw it away, but I don’t like wasting food that way personally.

Odin, in particular, has a rather strong reaction to offering to pour out some whisky to him, with that reaction being “NO DO NOT WASTE THAT THAT IS GOOD WHISKEY DRINK IT FOR MY SAKE.”

In a bid to avoid climate vote, Oregon Republican Senators cross state lines, go into hiding, threaten to murder cops, as white nationalist paramilitaries pledge armed support

mostlysignssomeportents:

Oregon’s legislature is about to vote on a piece of climate change
cap-and-trade legislation that the Democratic majority are likely to
win, so to avoid the vote, 12 Oregon state senators have gone into
hiding, thus depriving the senate of the necessary quorum.

Under state law, the governor – also a Democrat – is entitled to
dispatch state troopers to drag lawmakers back to Salem for a vote, and
to levy fines on lawmakers who don’t show up for work. Governor Kate
Brown has fined the absent senators $500 each and asked the troopers to
locate and return them.

Meanwhile, the AWOL Republicans are widely believed to be hiding out of
state – the Oregon state cops are coordinating with neighboring states’
law enforcement to locate them – and Republican State Senator Brian
Boquist issued this communique from his undisclosed bunker: “Send
bachelors and come heavily armed. I’m not going to be a political
prisoner.”

The situation has attracted the attention of armed white nationalist paramilitary groups like the 3%ers and Oath Keepers;
Paul Luhrs of the 3%ers announced that the group’s leadership had voted
to support the Republican Senators (Luhrs believes that they are in
Idaho) and has “vowed to provide security, transportation and
refuge…doing whatever it takes to keep these Senators safe.”

Oregon was home to a protracted armed standoff involving a group of white nationalist domestic terrorists who illegally occupied the Malheur wildlife refuge.
The terrorists destroyed public lands, pointed guns at cops and
threatened to shoot them, and were involved in high-speed chases, and were not convicted because they are white.

Oregon’s Republican lawmkers went into hiding in May for four days to avoid a vote on a school funding bill. Oregon Senate Republican leader Herman Baertschiger Jr bemoaned the fact that the minority Republicans are being “bullied by the majority party.”

YOU HEATHEN

LIKE HOW DO YOU GET THE PROPER TEMPERATURE MY GOD

This is the Chaotic Evil of making tea

I was born and raised in KANSAS and even I know that tea is made with a fuCKING KETTLE!

I can’t even imagine how that must taste.. *shudders*

Like sadness, I imagine.

I make my tea in the coffee pot

Natalie. 

Natalie.

why

She’s a chaos being in the flesh of a human and cannot be stopped. Chaotic Chaotic.

Here’s my suggestion on the alignment chart of tea making

Hmm. Good. True Neutral is heating water in a pan on a stove, I’d say.

Where are we putting “I have a Bunsen Burner and will take every available opportunity to use it” and “Leaves water on top of the dangerously hot radiator i should probably have repaired”?

I live in Las Vegas and will occasionally leave water in a glass bottle in the car while at work, and then drop a tea bag into it after work. Hot tea for the drive home.

@systlin look at this abomination!

(I love you, Drake, but this is an absolute abomination)

I hence suggest that the coffee put is a chaotic good – it’s perfectly okay, but weird – so we have more room for the evils.

Heating water on the stove can be neutral good – it’s perfectly valid, after all,

just buying it from the shop is a true neutral

I suppose my snobbery of a fancy electric teakettle with detailed temperature controls could qualify as chaotic neutral because it allows me to make and break my own tea rules

WAH this is COMPLICATED

WHAT IN THE WHOLE SHIT but I gotta hand it to you, this is both an excellent condemnation of living in Nevada and top grade Chaotic all in one

Huh..I guess you won’t like this then

what in the fuck

I can’t tell if this is madness or genius
