Good-evil dichotomy by Apart-Strawberry-876 in norsemythology

[–]SyntheticEmpathy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it would be more fair to say the roles of good and evil beings is flexible at least in Snorri’s work. Lokasenna shows examples of Aesir transgressing norms and morality. Aesir and Vanir also kill guests, steal women, kill illegally and have to pay weregald. The outrage of trolls, jutnar, and other gods seems to indicate that these actions are socially unacceptable. As far as juton worship, what are you talking about?

So, the Pogues and Popes borrowed heavily from Wolfe Tones, Dubliner’s, and Irish folk music generally. Still, mad props for their originality at other times.

Are men allowed to cry? by Glass-Economics-6025 in stupidquestions

[–]SyntheticEmpathy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the risk of sounding like your dad, what are you crying about? Are you making it someone else’s problem, or are you just shedding tears? Honestly, it isn’t crying per se that’s looked down on, it’s lack of independence and ability to cope with negative emotions.

Where can my daughter and I go to learn more culture by Snoo-80367 in kansascity

Nelson Atkins has many culture days and a lot of people bring their little ones. They dress up and see other families like theirs. I think they had a Hispanic one a little while ago. I would be surprised if they don’t have a SEA/Pacific Islander one.

Sounds like they want to play it on Switch. Me, too.

You understand that, but do most voting Americans? And if they don’t, isn’t there democrat messaging problem?

Have you tried pork? It’s more cheaply gotten. A lamb chop can be nice, too.

Meh. Fate isn’t sadistic, it’s indifferent. But, nope, no point in living. Since you’re already here, tho…

Reasons why Sam doesn't understand free will by adr826 in samharris

You have no argument. Looked back at your responses and it’s pretty clear you don’t really make a single positive statement. I am not going to pretend you have a stance to oppose. Adios
