Deleted, irrelevant

Have you ever woken up with a headache due to your tossing and turning? Like on the floor?

No, but I tore my shoulder muslces pretty effectively. Luckily, that was back when insurance was a thing you could use to help with medical care.

I didn't fall out. That's just tossing and turning.

I'm not sure but it happens to me too occasionally.  I don't know if it's "torn", haven't gone to a doctor over it, but a couple times a year I wake up with one shoulder *very* sore.  Lasts 2-3 days.  I sleep on my side, I assume sometimes I lay at the wrong angle and am too asleep to wake up from the pain.

I was asleep at the time, but I assume laying on my arm and twisting violently. Stress sleep is not good sleep. Took a few months to fully heal.

Do schools in Nordic countries really teach about old Norse paganism, or whatever you want to call it?   
Started watching a show set in Norway and two of the main characters, who have just moved to a new town and a new school, have showed up just in time for a class on "Asatro". Now, this is clearly for the sake of the narrative - since this show's main theme is basically Norse mythology brought into modern times, from what I gather - but I'm curious as to how much suspension of disbelief is actually needed here, since as far as I know the Nordic governments are generally bent on repressing all such traditions.

Both Norse and Greek mythology are part of our "Religious studues" class here in Sweden. It doesn't go particularly in-depth, but they teach the broad strokes.

Historical Norse mythology does get taught, in much the same way "classical" mythology (Greek/Roman) gets taught.

Ásatru is specifically the contemporary version of the old beliefs, however, so it's not going to get brought up unless you're taking some kind of class that involves modern paganism.

It's also simply not the word for old Norse mythology. It's just means "faith/belief in the gods". Depending on how universal the word "As" was used (It's both the word for a specific tribe of gods (the "Aesir" in English) as well as a generic word for gods) it might also have been used for any cultures divine mythology.

The way neopagans use it is just cultural appropriation and a bastardisation of the actual culture and mythology (and an insult to our ancestors and heritage), like all things neopagans do.

Interesting! I'm not sure why they chose the word "Asatro", then. IIRC the teacher in that scene even described it as the religion of the vikings.
On the whole, though, I don't think this show's exactly aiming for theological accuracy - but then, it could easily have been the fault of the captioners.

They used it because it is what we call the mythology today. What I was trying to say was that the old Norse would probably not have drawn those arbitrary lines around their mythology that we draw today in order to classify things, as they didn't classify it, they lived it.

Just another reason neo-pagans are dumb and don't understand the things they are bastardising.

Is there a reason why the RAM modules on my laptop are hidden behind a metal shield? Every other laptop I've opened up doesn't do this, so why would this one be different?
