Sorry
As a Discordian and literal Hellenic pagan Eris worshiper, it’s a BAD IDEA to name things after her.
Even if you don’t believe in Chaos, invoking Chaos will cause, at a minimum, panic.
I’m kind of curious what kind of evidence you’ve seen that has convinced you to believe in, and worship, Hellenic pagan dieties? What is it about this specific diety has convinced you that it’s not only real, but worthy of worship?
Hope this doesn’t come off wrong, I’m genuinely curious.
I originally became a Pagan at the age of 18. With Paganism, you choose the god that fits you best. You don’t alter your moral compass to fit into a god’s ideals lie one would Christianity.
I eventually found myself attracted to being a general Chaosist and specifically a Discordian
What convinced me was reading the holy book Principia Discordia. It teaches that life is all about perspective of the individual and that what you see with your own eyes may not be what others see in theirs.
I also see Chaos as the ultimate creation force because if everything was static and unmoving, we wouldn’t be here right now.
I also had a near-death experience with Eris, where I saw here when I had a heart attack at 29 due to a genetic condition that I have.
So there’s not a lot of physical evidence for only one specific god or many, but I like to make sure that I notice the things that shouldn’t have gone statistically in my favor. That hopefully is sowing something watching over me.
I’m of the opinion that COVID is no longer news worthy beyond the minority it impacts. No different to the flu or various other low risk (to the vast majority) common community transmitted illnesses. It just is now. We don’t get news articles written and publicised at this level for a new flu variant or vaccine, so I don’t see the point for COVID.
Edit: some good discussion in the responses to this. But also some utterly dog shit ad hominem and trying to put words in my mouth. If only they bothered to actually read what I wrote.
At this point I’m treating COVID like the flu. Every September I’ll get shot combo for both and go about my business.
Normally I’d agree, but these COVID vaccines put me down for 24-48 hours and the flu shot has never done that. Its very weird and difficult to schedule myself 48 hours of ‘sick time’ for a vaccine recovery.
Edit: I’d like to clarify that I’ve always gotten them when available, so I’m 3x boosted or whatever, I just wish they had options for people that react like this.
Feeling sick for a day or two after the vaccine is a small price to pay to avoid long COVID. Some people never recover, see Physics Girl on YT.
I don’t disagree at all, I should have elaborated in my original comment but I guess I was more yearning for better suited vaccines for people that get hit hard by them. Maybe we could take a smaller dose or different cocktail?
Which one did you take? A lot of people I know who took Moderna got hit hard, but only one person I know who took the Pfizer did. My family all took Pfizer and didn’t have any symptoms besides the usual soreness at the injection site.
thus far mine have all been moderna, ha
I had it for three weeks and that was long enough, and for a couple of weeks after still I couldn’t enjoy coffee or chocolate or anything with floral flavors. Definitely sucked hard, I can’t imagine having it longer
I have the same mild reaction to COVID and flu vaccines. I feel shit for about eight hours. The only COVID shot that put me down was the second of the two moderna shots. That hit hard. None of the boosters have hit hard.
Fuck no!
