that’s definitely one way to say “luck and happenstance”

Oh yeah, I forgot about stainless. I’ve only ever seen overpriced water in those though. Also, I’m not nearly fancy enough to know about ceramic liquor bottles but I think I’ve probably seen them once or twice in the store. Usually filled with sake or something right?

Yeah, same. The only beverage containers that don’t contain plastic are glass, and even those the lids are either entirely plastic or plastic underneath to seal against the glass.

There’s no president of the world yet.

I think that you don’t think that there’s any meaningful difference between “spiritual” and "supernatural " then you’re missing the point.

I used to be an atheist anti-christian skeptic type that didn’t understand my partner’s beliefs at all, because why have beliefs if you know they aren’t real? sugar_in_your_tea’s above quote from Equal Rites actually fits it really well.

Your beliefs have an impact on how you act, and your acts have an impact on the world. Therefore I choose to live by a set of guiding principles and interact with the world in a way that fits what I want it to be like. The whole point is that you can only influence what you interact with, but also you never know what you’ll interact with.

That said, I think that people who claim to be able to influence the lives of others without interacting with them directly are on ego trips.

However, I also don’t think that anyone can say anything for certain, as we live in a universe driven by probability, where “spooky action at a distance” is an actual scientific phenomenon.

tl;dr: Spiritual describes how people interact with the world but supernatural describes hypothetical (meta)physical phenomena.

I remember playing Blur back in high school and was surprised with how much I enjoyed it. The gameplay was good, and it had an aesthetic that was pretty unique. Honestly I think I might see if I can dig it up from somewhere and play it again; just to see if I enjoy it as much as I did playing Burnout: Paradise for the first time in 12 years.
