Greetings, Laddingtons. I'm checking in from Mirkwood with some important insights.
00:00:20.560
Or perhaps not. Perhaps this is just an encouragement. I just want to say that you
00:00:26.000
must stop drinking alcohol. Any arguments to the contrary are totally invalid.
00:00:34.000
So anyway, I want to congratulate everyone for participating and hopefully completing
00:00:40.560
NoFap or NoNotNovember. And since it is the 1st of December, Skadi hasn't blessed us with snow yet.
00:00:50.000
You have to go into the Temple of Iron and perform some repetitions in her honor,
00:00:54.960
So she will bless us with snow. But anyway, new month, new vise to push aside from your life.
00:01:05.360
You know, this is surprising to some and I find it absolutely disgusting.
00:01:10.640
But apparently there are adult humans who get drunk in the presence of children.
00:01:16.720
And apparently this can happen on Christmas. During Christmas.
00:01:24.160
You know, I am a great poet, of course. I've yet to release my collection of poems.
00:01:32.320
But even as a great poet I find it hard to put words on exactly how disgusting it is
00:01:40.000
for someone to get drunk in the presence of children.
0.96
00:01:43.520
I would rather shoot myself in the head than to ever let my daughter see me drunk.
00:01:49.680
And I won't be drunk again anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
0.99
00:02:00.640
Now anyway, the rules are quite simple, as you might have discerned from the title.
00:02:10.080
And you can actually choose your difficulty level.
00:02:13.600
You have one difficulty level, which is to not drink any alcohol at all.
00:02:18.080
And the easier difficulty level is to not get drunk.
00:02:22.000
Now, a personal note on my relationship with alcohol.
00:02:27.840
Just, you know, a regular teenage guy drinking, getting drunk with his mates.
00:02:35.600
My hostility towards alcohol during later years have more been because of, you know,
00:02:43.200
historical insights or insights into society and how much damage alcohol has cost over the centuries.
00:02:57.840
I don't think any one of you would label yourself a feminist.
00:03:01.520
But if you are, you know, if you analyze history from a female perspective,
0.99
00:03:08.880
the greatest curse on females is probably male drunkenness.
0.91
00:03:14.800
So, if you are a woman today, yeah, it can be a good idea to also push back against alcohol.
00:03:21.280
If there is anything that has been rough and hard for women over all these years,
00:03:29.520
But in terms of having a stable relationship and family, yeah, alcohol has been a curse.
00:03:35.760
And I would most definitely not want my daughter to end up with a guy who has, you know, likes alcohol, to put it mildly.
00:03:45.680
In the culture, I want to create alcohol as something for, you know, it's an outdated relic, not fit to live on.
00:03:57.680
And someone might say, oh, it's a European tradition.
00:04:00.960
Yeah, getting invaded by Islamic forces is also a European tradition.
00:04:06.240
Doesn't mean we need to keep it absolutely detrimental to everything that is good.
00:04:19.520
Every once in a while, I can have a beer containing alcohol or a glass of wine containing alcohol,
00:04:31.920
And if you do want to participate in No Drink December, just comment below in,
00:04:36.560
and then you will see a lot of comments, and then you will feel the urge to participate yourself.
00:04:42.880
It's the only reasonable course of action to do, so...
00:04:48.080
And if you even think about drinking on Christmas in the presence of children...
00:04:55.360
Well, we're on YouTube, so I won't say too much, but I'm sure you will understand how I feel about you.
00:05:00.160
It comes as a surprise when I hear about these humans behaving in this way.
00:05:11.520
I don't, I can't put words into the, just thinking about it.
00:05:17.200
But anyway, I don't want to blackfill anyone, so I will leave it at that.
0.92
00:05:25.280
Now, a last note before Christmas, if you want to place an order on Legio Gloria,
00:05:30.880
which I definitely suggest that you do, otherwise your family will be deeply disappointed.
00:05:39.520
I can't say for sure if you will receive your package for Christmas if you order today,
00:05:47.760
But if you are in Europe, you can definitely still order.
00:05:50.400
If you're in Germany or Sweden, you can wait a week extra or so.
00:05:53.760
But otherwise, for all European customers, I would say today or tomorrow or something
