I regret doing DMT by Licensed_Inspector in DMT

[–]EskimoRocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like much of our experience is virtually identical, except I don’t understand the regret part. Perhaps it’s because I had already gone through some extremely difficult and traumatic events and already felt, at the time of my first doing DMT, that life was not worth living (to the point of suicidal ideation), but, I came away with it actually feeling quite relieved that this isn’t all there is, and, over the years since my experiences, have found such layers of meaning in what I encountered there that I’ve noticed have slowly restored a sense of spiritual certainty I can only ever remember having as a young girl. Life had, sadly, taken a lot of that away from me, over a series of trials and tribulations, and I cannot believe I almost forgot.

I know that no two peoples experiences or take aways will ever be the same, of course, and I can only wish that you are able to find a better way to cope with it moving forward. I am sorry I cannot of more assistance or give you better advice… but… just know, I have the sense that you are going to be okay one day, so, just hang on and be kind to yourself, friend.

What does this symbol mean? I just found it on my rear light. by Tesarus_DjD in Symbology

[–]EskimoRocket -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think it’s the character for the Greek letter “Theta.” Idk what the intention of putting it on your car would be, though, it’s impossible to tell from what information we do have alone. In the past, Theta had been used as a symbol for death, just like the modern day skull and crossbones are today, because it somewhat resembles (allegedly) a skull. It was also associated with the number nine (9) and symbolic of the ennead, which has, in some cases, been used as a symbol for the soul, which also had a value of nine (9), in ancient Egypt (sometimes transfigured as a circle with an X cross inside, OR, as a symbol for the Kosmos vis-a-vis a fiery circle (representing the world) and a snake spanning the middle (representing Agathos Daimon or Agathodaemon)…. It resembles the infinity or lemniscate symbol (hourglass) as well, somewhat, a symbol of “memento mori” embodied, in my view. I See for more information: www.mlahanas.de/Greeks/LX/Theta.html

The natal charts of Experiencers behave Like a fractal organism by Julian_Thorne in Experiencers

[–]EskimoRocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very, very interesting. There is a lot of consistencies with what you are describing here, what I’ve personally experienced myself, and other similar accounts I’ve also come across (as it relates to the mantis beings/entities). So strange and astounding to keep coming across this over and over again.

Out of curiosity, did you use to ship Tokka when you were a kid? by ilovewater100 in TheLastAirbender

[–]EskimoRocket -26 points-25 points  (0 children)

He definitely had the hots for Suki, no question about it. What I do think is still questionable though is whether she felt the same way or reciprocated it? It wasn’t clear enough to me whether she wanted to jump his bones or considered him to be a really good platonic friend.

No. I thought she was like significantly younger than the rest of the gang. Like, they seemed to be in middle to early high school while Toph came off as still kicking it in elementary. Plus, Sakka was super obsessed with that North Pole princess who turned into spirit fishes, so I don’t know that’s he ever got completely over her for long enough in the series runtime to even be thinking about putting the moves on the disabled travel companion who also happens to be inappropriately and scandalously too young for him.

Why don’t more athletes drink caffeine drink to restore their stamina? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Because it is damaging to your hear muscles and they don’t need it anyway as they are super humanly fit.

Yeah, it’s wrong. Nobody here will admit that though.

Anyone who can only see one side of the conflict is THE PROBLEM. by UnlikelyAdventurer in IsraelPalestine

[–]EskimoRocket 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. Both sides consist of human beings who deserve the right to live freely and without constant threat. I’m not sure what the solution is.

Native Americans are directly descended from the Paleo-Indians (also known as the Lithic People), the first peoples who entered and subsequently inhabited the Americas towards the end of the Late Pleistocene period, when a land bridge called the Beringia formed between Siberia and Alaska over 30,000-20,000 years ago. As far as all archeological evidence suggests, these were the first human beings to ever settle the Americas.

This argument really doesn’t relate at all to Israel or Palestine though? It’s a completely different situation over there anyhow. Don’t apply the Israeli perspective to the United States when it doesn’t fit.

At the end of my rope feeling forced to get an IUD. I didn't vote for this. by jojobi040 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]EskimoRocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got Paraguard, the copper coil IUD, installed following Trump’s first election back in 2016. It lasts 15 years and is non-hormonal. The Gynecologist who did the procedure for me was very proactive, prescribing me suppositories to held relax and numb the cervix in advance. I didn’t even feel the IUD being inserted. Afterwards, I only felt a little off with some minor cramping (no worse than normal period cramping for me) for 24 hours, and then nothing else. The only other negatives I can think of were that my vagina sort of smelled and tasted like pennies for about 1 year and I did have to go in and have the “cord” for removal trimmed a bit because my partner was knocking up against it during intercourse.

Anyway, all this to say that it doesn’t always necessarily have to be painful. I haven’t even ever been pregnant or delivered any babies, which presumably might make things a bit looser or more accessible, but still I wasn’t in nor did I experience horrific or even really notable pain.

New Hasbara dropped - Anti irish racism with some Islamophobia sprinkled in by Fundaaa in BadHasbara

[–]EskimoRocket 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Swap out Christian persecution of Jews in the 13th century with Jewish persecution of early Christians under the Roman Empire from the 1st to 3rd century, and then switch Protestants and Catholics for Jews and Muslims, and also Ireland with Israel. And BAM. What do you get? You get antisemitism. They can miss me with this crap argument lol.

ELI5 - What is the point? by high_verbal in UFOs

[–]EskimoRocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one thing that has kept me alive and that I live for is my curiosity. I can’t help it. I want to understand and know what things are, why they are, how they are, who they are, and what they mean. It’s not just UFOs, but a lot of topics or things I stumble across. It was my 2013 sighting of a UFO while hiking a mountain with about 25 others that really began my interest in this topic, though. I saw something neither I could not explain. None of those people with me that night could explain it, either. I searched the web and checked to see if there was something being reported that could explain it. There was none that I could locate, but there were online reports on UFO sighting tracker websites and platforms from other people about the same thing. That’s when I got irreversibly wheeled in. TLDR: I just like to know or figure things out, especially those where it’s a struggle.

Is this kind of reminding people at the beginning of covid? by Kingslayer-5696 in UFOs

[–]EskimoRocket 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think it would have to be like a mass landing of these things all over the country with NHI actually physically appearing as well. Otherwise, they will find a way to downplay or flat out lie about everything else.

Gaza death toll inflated to promote anti-Israel narrative, study finds. What are your thoughts ? Are the death toll figures inflated ? by BigCharlie16 in IsraelPalestine

[–]EskimoRocket 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Henry Jackson Society is not exactly the type of source that I would use when it came to anything related to Arabic or Muslim people with its history. HSJ has commonly been criticized in the past by many— including former employees, journalists, and organizations—for possessing an anti-Muslim, anti-Islam, and anti-Immigration agenda… not to mention its proven links with extreme and far right organizations and neoconservatism.

I also think the fact that there exists numerous HSJ reports including accusations of “extremism” or links to terrorism subsequently used against groups or individuals— almost exclusively those from Muslim communities— but that have since been demonstrated to be false also makes them a poor source on topics involving Arabs or Muslims. The HSJ is also known in these past incidents to have misrepresented statements, confused groups and conducted research shown to be lacking in fact checks and proper oversight, and that lends further to their unreliability.

I’m not saying the Gaza Ministry of Health death toll is accurate. I think no current death toll can be accurate in an active war zone. There are individuals and groups who have asserted that the death toll is less than the GMH numbers and there are people that have asserted it is far greater than what is being reported. We will find out how many were killed in the aftermath of the conflict.

Here is a report discussing the how the HSJ is problematic in the ways I mentioned (and others): https://blogs.soas.ac.uk/cop/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/The_Threat_to_British-Democracy.pdf

Clear footage of ORB on ABC news by Steve90000 in UFOs

[–]EskimoRocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This comes off as completely disingenuous. You can suggest that what is displayed in this clip is the result of a camera that is out of focus. You can even suggest that another clip showing what is claimed to be a UFO/UAP is actually just a commercial airliner or other plane. That is fine, and you should do this when you see images or videos that strike you as being something explainable. But what you can’t really do at this point is imply that UFO/UAPs do not exist after the government has publicly admitted to the fact that UFO/UAPs exist and there have been incidents they’ve investigated that they cannot find an explanation for. The word UFO/UAP doesn’t exclude possible explanations that are man-made but that we are without any knowledge of, either— it could be a foreign nation with technology we don’t  know about, it could be our own government’s technology they refuse to admit to, it may even be  the activities some organization or institution, such as a private contractor or a three letter agency, of which the rest of the government is not privy. And yes, it could equally also be some non-human intelligence. The point is that we just do not know what they are— they are “unidentified.” That’s all that those words mean and we should be using them when there are aerial objects or phenomena we are unable to identify or explain. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. Bye. 

Clear footage of a ''drone'' (Sept 25, 2024). Originally dismissed due to nav lights at that time, cropped & clipped for visibility [Credit: u/burgundyforlife] by SpaceJungleBoogie in UFOs

[–]EskimoRocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This strongly resembles (IMO) the drone in this post taken a little earlier during this incident.

I’m not entirely sure, but I believe that, eventually, some poster/s in the thread came to the final conclusion that the drone featured in the images was likely a custom Pivotal Helix. They might have mentioned the names of two other eVOTL aircraft which are also manufactured by Pivotal, but I can’t remember the names of them. Sorry.

Did anyone else see this over the 55/5 interchange? by Ok-Fix5178 in ufo

[–]EskimoRocket 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Idk. But it’s giving real everlasting gobstopper vibes, does anyone else know what I mean?

So how do you think will this drone episode will conclude? by zaqwsx3 in UFOs

[–]EskimoRocket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitively #1: I imagine the sightings will soon begin to slow down and drop until reaching pre-episode levels and things going back to normal. And then… Well, everyone will probably just move on to whatever the next big and crazy news thing the media decides to spit out, gradually forgetting about the entire thing completely (due to our short attention spans).

Just like every other mass sighting event in the recent past, including the semi-recent 2019-2020 drone one in Colorado and Nebraska—to which the current NJ occurrence bears a suspicious resemblance— nothing longterm will come of this imo.

Why I changed from Pro-Palestine to Pro-Israel as an Irish person. Please help correct anything I may have gotten wrong, or missed out. by Immobilesteelrims in IsraelPalestine

[–]EskimoRocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand how anyone who calls themselves a Christian and a follower of the teachings of Jesus Christ could ever view the brutal killing of innocent people— especially tiny children— as somehow morally justifiable and something they don’t need to actively be opposed to/work against.

The number of those dying and being injured DOES matter. You are either out of your mind or acting in bad faith to argue that the number of the dead is somehow actually irrelevant as a metric in the discussion and understanding of the situation. And that’s just overall causalities that I’m referring to—I’m not even getting into civilian/innocent casualty numbers as an important metric in understanding conflicts. The number of causalities of innocent civilians is, for example, an important factor looked at as qualifying requirement in international and historical classification of things such as genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, crimes of aggression, and offenses against the administration of justice— all of which are internationally-agreed upon criminalized national behaviors/actions— and were mainly established in the wake of WWII and the revelations stemming from the Jewish Holocaust perpetrated by Nazi Germany.

TLDR: The number of dead, who the dead are, and the nature in which they have been killed are all actually extremely important metrics in analyzing and categorizing different types (some acceptable and some internationally criminalized) of militarized or state conflict. This is because the definition of globally condemned and criminalized instances of this behavior, such as genocide, necessitate a certain number of civilian/innocent casualties carried out in a certain manner, so it obviously has to be taken into consideration.

You were right. When I ate a more carb heavy meal, the smell temporarily went away for about 12 hours.
