Whenever I Look At Brazil On A World Map I Cannot Unsee It As A Fart Pillow With Uruguay Being The Opening.

Once I had a dream where I flew to an unspecified part of the USA for a day trip, and one of the methods of identifying it as America was that the highway was racially segregated

Like once I was discussing religion with a friend (like in a nice and interesting way, not accusatory), and they asked me wether there would be people in my utopia that believed in religions. They said theirs probably would, similar to how they'd allow differing political beliefs too. My answer was that everyone would most likely be atheists by default, as religion wouldn't really be a variable I'd think about when making a utopia.

Political views, however, are different in my opinion. Personally I consider differing political views (and healthy interaction between them) a necessity for society to improve, making them necessary for reaching said utopia. I personally dont believe religions to also be essential for that.

This being the internet, I probably should clarify that I dont mind people believing in stuff either, and religion wouldnt necessarily make my utopia worse either.

There's something about atheism that I've repeatedly tried and failed to put into words on several posts on this blog but I think I finally got it.

Atheists are the only religious minority who, even (or sometimes even *especially*) in ostensibly progressive spaces are not allowed to ever act like they're sure of their beliefs.

Walked past some 12 year olds spray painting 'sus' a bunch of times on a wall outside.

2 of them had also climbed to the top of a light tower.

Now that I think about it, I'm half convinced it was made up by american corporations as a marketing tactic.

"I bet you remembered this brand name wrong" is a pretty good way to get people to recognize your brand, especially when you explain it with a trendy new phenomenon.

Like I still remember some of the brands even though I have never actually seen them anywhere.

Ok but the Mandela effect is like so fake. There is one actual example of this with Nelson Mandela himself and the rest are americans remembering brand names wrong.

Ooh I've done this too. Some of the ways we had people lying down instead of injury (though im pretty sure we had that too) were basking in the sun on a deck chair, swimming (we obviously didnt have actual water so swimming was done laying down), backing off in fear I think??

If i recall it used to be the hardest to justify someone sitting down constantly (or transitioning from sitting to laying down), but that then makes those the most fruitful for the improv.

Today my students were playing a theatre game called "Sit, Stand, Lie Down" (it is known by other, similar names elsewhere) where characters must perform a scene where someone must always be standing, someone else must be sitting, and someone else must be lying down.

So if a character begins the scene sitting, but then stands, the standing character must sit so every position is filled.

Today there were a few scenes where the way characters would choose "lie down" was always injury. "Oh ow I sprained my ankle," "I tripped on this big rock" etc. and a challenged them to show me a scene where nobody got hurt.

VERY next scene they improvised a cursed mummy's tomb where the curse was somebody always had to be laying down, so if the mummy arose from his sarcophagus, somebody else was cursed to lie down instead.

I dont want to be here,

I want to leave,

I dont feel like I can go home now,

I dont want to be outside,

I want to roam outside,

I dont feel like I belong here,

I dont feel like I should be here,

I want to be home,

I wanted to be home hours ago,

I want to sleep,

I dont want to wake up here,

I want to wake up like tomorrow was already over.

I saw this too and it's about half a kilogram of THC per day per capita. Tallin as a whole would need around 750 million kilograms of THC yearly...

or about this much.

Residents of Tallinn apparently are all cannabis georg who smoke *checks notes* 48 480 blunts a day (per person), according to Helsingin Uutiset

I woke up with a cold the next day

To me, one of the core finland experiences is walking a long ass distance in the dead of night in freezing temperatures, on a quest to find the nearest bus stop that actually runs this late.

Just did that (still like 40 minutes away from home, but in the relatively warm bus now (bus also an integral part of the experience)) and I haven't felt more finnish in a while.

Oikeesti rakastan suomenkielistä musiikkia! Noista sun mainistemista kuuntelen ite oikeestaan vaan cmx:ää (Vallat ja väet, Kain, Olet tässä yms. on niiiin hyviä), toki tiedän suurimman osan enemmän tai vähemmän. Omiin kuunteluihin kuuluu kans Happoradio, Apulanta, Haloo Helsinki, Tehosekoitin, Itä-Hollola Installaatio, Uniklubi, Ursus Factory, 51 Koodia, ja hyväl tuuril kans pari jotka unohtu. Kiinnitän kans paljon huomioo biisien sanoihin, ne on aik kivoi (ja oon monesti myös harmittunut kun (hyviä) sanoja ei löydy netistä).

Kaipaan ihmisiä jotka nauttii suomenkielisestä musiikista. anssi kela, cmx, pmmp, lasten haustausmaa, zen cafe, puhelinseksi, salaliitto, musta valo, ultra bra, maija vilkkumaa, teini-pää. mitä näitä nyt on. tunnettuja ja vähemmän tunnettuja. mulla ei oo koskaan oikeen ollu kavereita jotka ois jakanu mun musiikkimaun, ja vaikka oiski sietäny tai jopa tykänny niin ei varmaan samalla tasolla. ite aina obsessioin biisien sanotuksia, ja harmittaa kovasti jos niitä ei löydy netistä.

suomenkielinen musiikki on parasta musiikkia.

When asked, im an atheist, but it feels so weird and vain to explain my worldview through wether I believe in deities or not when the possible existense of deities does not even cross my mind when I consider my belief system.
