People love to make fun of Archeologists for how often we say objects were used ritualistically, as if we overuse that designation or just say it when we a don't know what something was used for. But that's only because people don't stop to think how full of ritual all of our lives are.
The meme is actually correct for the most part, hotdogs are ritually consumed during baseball games. Lots of people only even eat hotdogs if they're watching baseball. The expectation for us to eat turkey on thanksgiving is another example of us ritually consuming food. Drinking coffee every morning is another ritual we do. Going to the gym several days a week is a ritual.
"Ritual" doesn't necessarily mean "religious."
One thing I really appreciate with Mob Psycho is whenever some absolute wide-scale esper bullshit ends up on the news, ONE is always sure to include a panel showing all the trending online responses that are like “Lame” “Stupid” “Seems fake” “I could take him”

Anonymous asked:
What would you say to someone who wants to gain in theory but fears the realistic consequences?
broaderstrokes answered:
Consequences? Like enjoying your body? Embracing who you are? Living the life you want to live?
If “consequences” alludes to health problems, here’s the thing: health stuff can happen to anyone, of any body type. It’s not a punishment.
Don’t let a maybe scare you away from pursuing your happiness.
