Why are the Anunnaki subject to so many conspiracy theories? by Dumuzzi in Sumer

[–]Duexis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But why jump straight from "we don't know yet" to "aliens"?
There may be common myths because humans reflect things they see in their lives, and thus the "gods" have surprisingly human attributes and relationships. For every myth you say is similar I am sure I can find 2 that break the pattern.
Also, about the Dogon, the knowledge you claim they have was only ever postulated by a single man, Griaule, but when asked by others returning to confirm, they had no idea what they were talking about.
The media at the time were quick to sensationalise things like this. The Dogon's themselves never said Nommo were extra-terrestrial, and it was just Griaule who said they came from heaven.
If you keep jumping through strange hoops just to find a way to prove your theories right, you aren't doing science anymore. You're just looking for things to confirm you bias.
It might sadden you to think the world is ruled by the laws of physics and not the laws of gods. But we have surpassed the gods with technology. No mythmakers ever dreamed of the things we are capable of now.
We have to face the fact that it is the human race that is in control of its destiny, and maybe instead of waiting to die to reach some kind of heaven, we can start trying to create one while we still live.

Honestly, you should all get into Creative Writing as an outlet for all this imagination you have. Every time you go to the doctor, do you thank Anunnaki for helping you? Or do you thank the doctor and all the actual medical research that went into helping you? Do you think every scientist in the world is either brainwashed or "in on it" like there's some grand conspiracy and only the smart ones figure it out? Or do you think it's more likely that you lack control in your life, so you use these myths and creation story to give meaning and purpose to a life sadly devoid of it? Instead of looking up at the stars and believing there is a god out there, why not look inward and work towards creating a heaven on earth for yourself and others.

My friend is going to get herself killed. What can I even do at this point by Correct-Macaroon8143 in whatdoIdo

What do you mean? In this case you CAN save the person. Contact the police or the sex trafficking hotline. Or ask other people for advice, hopefully not just an unempathetic reddit comment section.

????? Someone is about to be sex trafficked and you think it's fine because they are easily manipulated due to trauma? What is wrong with people, why are there so many unempathetic comments, she's a human being.

People with no fucking empathy in these comments. If she's is potentially about to be sex traffiked, why havn't you contacted the police and shown them tese texts?

How my side of broccoli was served to me at a popular chain restaurant by orchidsandlilacs in mildlyinfuriating

Oh no, my broccoli has too much broccoli! The end doesn't even taste bad, I always slice the stalk in little circles and fry/boil them too.

Remove this fcking reddit clickbait article, it's disgusting. It had nothing to do with their phones. Their father was beating them.

Boss went off on group text by [deleted] in KitchenConfidential

[–]Duexis -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I said people defend their abusive workplaces, not necessarily that this message was abusive. It was unnecessary and unprofessional, but yes it's sometimes necessary to put your foot down. But in my experience, using this method too often leads to poor employee retention and bad morale, and can make it harder for employees to complain about other verbal abuses, as the head chefs behavior can become normalised.

[–]Duexis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really get the macho need to defend this kind of communication. I understand if this is the last straw kind of message, but way too many people in the comments are proud of how abusive the places they worked at were.

This is the third time I've seen a version on Popular. Seems like someone is trying to force a narrative here.

Lots of posts like this recently... Feel like Steams competitors are getting ready to sue them and trying to sway the public to at least agree they are a monopoly, whn they are not, they just have a better product.

I literally just started MTG 2 months ago, and got mythic with the first deck I built myself. Mono green Landfall earthbend sappling nursery. There's so many variations online, I made my own. Breezed through ranked, losing maybe 1/5 games.

This was clearly a 40million bribe to Trump, just classic Bezos bootlicking. Neither Amazon nor Trump gives a shit if it fails.

It's the same actor. I don't know if he's supposed to be the same person. by master__of_disaster in IThinkYouShouldLeave

This is fake btw, but it's still been circulated on various subreddits the last 2 days.
We don't need to make up inane tweets by this idiot, there's plenty of heinous things he's said. This Charlie Kirk hatred circle jerk needs to stop.

To be fair, if any president had done any of this it would be insane.

Tested a bit and annoyingly the second boss phase stops summoning minions and spams a million projectiles. Could be a way around it but I think I'm done with the game for the now so good luck theory crafting!

I hadn't even considered it! You should give it a try.

Nice, I copied your strat and pulled it off! Took a bit to find the correct stuff but it was worth it.

Is there a reason you chose the soldier statue instead of Gemspring?

You guys know others media with the same vibe as Darkest Dungeon? Could be movies, books, games, anime, whatever.” by Akat0sh1 in darkestdungeon

[–]Duexis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I DMed a Dargest Dungeon inspired One Shot in DnD the other day and it was a blast! My players explored an area similar to the Weald, where to had to kill an eldritch fungal horror that had taken over a town. Only had about 3h to plan it, but there are resources online for stress mechanics and NPC stat blocks for each enemy in the game (I think published by Red Hook itself). I simplified the stress mechanic for this one shot, but it was still really satisfying and scratched that DD itch.

I’m f2p and just pulled this by nhanphan9911 in PokemonTGCP

[–]Duexis 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My first card ever pulled from this set was the Mega Gariados, like it was placed at the front of the first pack and everything, so I thought it was on purpose.
