Still Practiced Pagan Rituals of Europe

For years, photographer Charles Freger, has been traveling throughout European countries  trying to capture the spirit of what he calls “tribal Europe” in his “Wilder Mann” series.

Pagan rituals mainly relating to winter solstice and spring renewal were the most common rituals he came across. The series of pictures/costumes above are meant to explain the complicated relationship humans have with nature and life and death cycles.

The FULL SERIES is absolutely amazing. Check out all the costumes we couldn’t include in the post.

oh my god….there are people alive in this day and age who don’t know how to torrent movies

[glowpop]

a friend the other day was like….”oh i really want to watch this movie but i cant find it anywhere on netflix or online” and i said “oh you can just torrent it” and she gave me the blankest look…and then i said “you know…piratebay? kickasstorrents?” and she just frowned at me…what’s happening to this generation

[lierdumoa]

Guys it’s so much worse than that.

A couple years ago an instructor at my college who taught basic programming courses for game design majors posted on his facebook that a bunch of his incoming freshmen didn’t know how to create a zip file. 

A lot of public schools dropped their computer literacy courses in the early 2000s because they just assumed kids would “learn it at home.” There’s a whole generation of kids who only know how to navigate a touchscreen phone/tablet. They’ve never used a laptop or desktop.

I saved the facebook post and discussion thread – you can read it here: http://lierdumoa.tumblr.com/post/162986545597/image-is-a-screen-capture-of-a-facebook-post

I teach a college English class and not a semester goes by where I don’t have to teach a student how to use the Tab key to indent a new paragraph, because some of them literally have no pragmatic computer experience.

[brodiebutt]

pirate bay and kickass torrents are long gone….. like ofc kids dont know about them…

[glowpop]

they’re….they’re still there. kickasstorrents and pirate bay are still there and still kickin like crazy….in 2019….i think people not knowing about them has to do more with the rise of streaming services like netflix n hulu n shit

[germanova-deactivated20220729]

But its illegal?????????

[glowpop]

this is actually the funniest objection i’ve seen so far. what are you? a cop? you love the law? you love paying 15 dollars for albums made by artists who eat lamborghinis and diamonds and will make more money in a year than you ever will in your life? it’s okay. fuck the law.

Medieval Things We Should Bring Back

- wearing robes with ridiculous sleeves

- wearing two fancy hats at once

- communal bread ovens

- just more land being communal in general

- making all of our books beautiful

- writing songs for the lute

- putting wild men into our architecture

- gothic buildings

Norwegian prisons are nicer than my apartment.

holy shit dude

[firebirdscratches]

I was really shocked by this and dubious, so I decided to read further. There’s a great article about this here: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-35813470 As it turns out, this is more like a halfway house. Prisoners usually begin their term in a prison more like one we’d typically recognize - bars on the windows, locked in their cells. But the emphasis there is on successful reintegration into society.  As their sentence progresses, with good behavior, they can move into a facility more like this, where their freedoms are still restricted, but they can do things like network with people outside of prison, search for employment, cook and clean and look after themselves, and begin making plans for their reintegration into society.  As a result, Norway has one of the lowest rates of recidisvism. 20% as opposed to America’s 76%.  It seems like a shocking idea to us because of where and how we live, but apparently, Norwegians are addressing the real problem. When you take people who can’t function well in society, and then…help them do that?…they….do. Without the crime-ing.

Turns out treating people like human beings makes them more likely to act like human beings….

[liquidsodanium]

But won’t that incentivize some people to go back there since they get treated so well and get a nice room versus the streets?

[kompanie-mutter-deactivated2021]

If you read the post above, it says Norway’s recidivism rate - that is, the rate of released criminals who go on to be arrested again - is 20% versus 76% in the United States, so for the most part, no.

Isn’t that white-lined black cross on a red field flag a Nazi flag? Are we going to talk about how wonderful it is a Nazi gets a nice halfway house?

Now, let’s be fair – “I’m not into politics” doesn’t always mean “I’m so unfathomably privileged that nothing really affects me”.

Sometimes it means “my life is actually terrible in countless ways, but I don’t perceive the causes as political because I’ve been convinced that it’s all an inevitable and morally neutral consequence of the fact that humans suck”.

[akari-is-love]

It can also mean “my life is actually terrible in countless ways and I want to enjoy those few moments of peace I have instead of engaging in politics, which would be another source of stress in my daily life”

A ceramic jar filled with thousands of bronze coins was recently unearthed at the site of a 15th-century samurai’s residence just north of Tokyo [710x470]
