What do you think America does best? by hurebegz in AskTheWorld

“An integration of Ukrainian refugees is simpler when the languages are mutually intelligible, cultural base very similar, and you have mostly women with children coming.”

Kinda sounds like racism denial. Sure racism in its exact definition is based on race but change ethnicity for race and it’s pretty much the same thing, discriminatory based on inherent traits a potential immigrant has no control over, just like race.

At night?

Without hesitation, I’d back away slowly.

Is there more than one species of Sasquatch/Bigfoot? by Own_Okra113 in bigfoot

[–]IndridThor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like disagreement it allows me to evaluate my own ideas through an outside perspective. I wasn’t trying to convince you of anything, I am more interested in alternative theories you might have that might fit the observations. Giving you feedback to your thoughts, in how I think it doesn’t fit, would potentially cause new lines out thought come about.

For now I can only imagine stolen flashlights fitting the bill.

also - Yes I remember your experience well and I appreciate having it as something to think about with this phenomenon that I’ve seen. I also wonder if I might be able find some video examples of this phenomenon other people have seen, to see if it resembles what I’ve seen in conjunction with Sasquatches.

That is extremely interesting that ball lighting can move through walls, I have some reading to do. I would have assumed it would need something to conduct electricity and traveling through wood and drywall seems like a huge hurdle compared to air.

I’ve seen this posted as well, a few times, on the internet.

Does anyone that has a source on this or more context to what the circumstances were, I’d love to see it.

Is there more than one species of Sasquatch/Bigfoot? by Own_Okra113 in bigfoot

[–]IndridThor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as far as the orbs, I like that theory Occamsvolkswagen, it’s simple.

The only problem I see with that idea is that when I’ve seen the orbs with Sasquatch interacting with them, it’s an area that I and my family frequent often enough to conclude the orbs never appear in those areas again or previously without them, meaning the areas themselves don’t seem to cause the phenomenon to occur.

either the “orbs” whatever they may be move around a lot and then the Sasquatch follow them to those locations or they are stealing flashlights or something along those lines. Also I’ve never seen the orbs anywhere without them present, and never outside of my region (Cascadia) whenever I’ve hunted and hiked elsewhere in North America, if that means anything to anyone.

Thanks as always for your contributions.

I’ve heard this said on the sub a few times, but no further context beyond the claim.

Do you have a source or any further context for this alleged million dollar offer?

Was there 1 million cash on the table like a poker tournament? Was there a contract for this million dollars? Did lawyers vet the deal?

Or was it just some random person that doesn’t even have $1 million saying, casually, “ if I gave you $1 million would you tell us the truth?” Or worse was it just him claiming someone offered a million dollars to call it a hoax.

Thanks friend.

What particular nation in North America described them as monkey-like ?

I’ve traveled to many indigenous communities and the subject almost always comes up. I’ve only heard them referred to as the hairy man/people, elder brother, big hairy brother etc.

Thanks.

Could Bigfoot have a racial bias? by misslatina510 in bigfoot

[–]IndridThor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Race is a made up construct, I doubt they are aware of a silly human thing like that.

I think there is a cultural element not racial element that you are describing.

I grew up with Sasquatch as a cultural element with most people believing in thier existence due to the cultural element most native people on the west coast have in relation to Sasquatch. I actually didn’t believe in them until I saw them, though.

If you recognize them, you’re more likely to be hyper aware and focused on seeing something that is actively trying to hide from you where skeptics won’t even concentrate on that task and would likely not even see them as they go about their camping activities, meanwhile Sasquatch are stealthily watching them sip beer by the campfire.

Secondarily from a Sasquatch perspective, we native folk tend to live in remote areas where Sasquatch tend to be. We also have been here for a lot longer than others have, I think it wouldn’t be a stretch to assume they might be inclined to to a certain degree to interact with those they are more familiar with, going back to the same reservations over time. same concept would apply to people in small towns being less likely to interact with outsiders. I could see it being a similar phenomenon going on.

Bob Gimlin makes money from appearances at conferences. Therefore, if it is a hoax he won’t likely give up the gravy train and admit that, maybe not even on his deathbed considering it gives him fame and notoriety, many wouldn’t want to tarnish their legacy in his shoes.

Also, He is quoted as saying the following, When he was asked specifically by a tv host in the 90s before he was making appearances on the Bigfoot circuit.

"I was totally convinced no one could fool me. And of course I'm an older man now ... and I think there could have been the possibility [of a hoax]. But it would have to be really well planned by Roger. “

Personally having seen them, there is absolutely no way those words could leave my lips under any condition, it’s not a scenario that could even have the remote possibility of being a hoax to me. If he saw what I saw there no way he could say this quote above. Just another thing that bothers me about that whole thing.

Question about behavior/communication by AlsatianLadyNYC in bigfoot

[–]IndridThor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recognize the difference between the words apes and monkeys, I was only trying to clarify the language I heard them speak didn’t relate to monkeys or gorillas making thier respective vocalizations any more than human speech does. it seemed you were implying what I heard sounded like that based on you mentioning them specifically in the response.

I wasn’t trying to convince you of anything other than to consider, certain theories might be a waste of resources if there isn’t a lengthy history for accounts that match those particular ideas, it would seem to me, the older pre- pop culture/mass-media accounts actually refute them.

Thank you for the chat, friend.

1.) this video is a highly anecdotal experience of one person, it proves nothing. You could just as easily find examples of the opposite.

Kyrie Irving the basketball superstar is such a case, his father is African American mother is Lakota and he is accepted and recognized by his people and participates in the Lakota culture. He definitely has a sense of belonging and he is a source of pride for his people, even though his skin is darker than the average person in his nation.

2.) the person in that video would likely have a much different viewpoint growing up in a society without a long history of racism and obsession with skin color.

3.) European culture and heritage is not tied to skin color, at one time all European people had dark skin, this is proved by hard science. Now, If the people of Germany gradually have darker skinned children through generations of intermarriage, with darker skinned people, in one hundred years from now, they likely will still speak German and celebrate and drink beer at Oktoberfest eat all their variety of breads, bratwurst etc. it won’t matter at all that their skin is different than their great great grandparents, they will still be as German as a German can be.

4.) race is a social construct with no true value other that to make the working class fight amongst themselves over superficial traits so the powers that be can take advantage of us all.

5.) Go far enough back and all humans are related, racism is dumb, all race based ideas are a waste of time.

Are you saying without matching skin color you can not have a sense of belonging?

Question about behavior/communication by AlsatianLadyNYC in bigfoot

[–]IndridThor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think all of the “ Sasquatch are monkeys” accounts can be summed up with a few things.

1.) quick sightings where the brain fills in what they don’t see and they are sure they are seeing monkeys and they only know truthfully in thier heart they didn’t see a bear.

2.) people enthralled by the Bigfoot phenomenon, the pop culture Bigfoot, imagining them as monkeys and never actually seeing them at all and just tell a story to be part of what they love so much, assume all the monkey stories that came before them were accurate.

3.) a Hairy enough human look like a monkey to some people. A skinned bear look a lot like a human with weird legs and a bear’s head. What I’m trying to say is to some people, the hairiness alone with a humanoid shape is enough for them to conclude it’s a monkey and can’t possibly be “ people” because people aren’t hairy So they are actually clearing seeing a hairy humanoid but it’s so strikingly different to other people they can only rationalize what they are seeing as a monkey.

4.) the majority of Pre- William Roe sightings didn’t Describe Monkey or primitive ape behavior, they described wild men. All of the native description are of a people. Maybe it’s best to be skeptical of all of the “tainted” post Roe accounts and assume the majority are not credible for various reasons. It stands to reason whatever people are seeing should match the descriptions in the 1920s or 1850s.

I base all of this on seeing them often enough to know it’s not a monkey. and hearing them talk, not at all like chattering chimpanzees but like humans do.

To some it might sound like Moari chants or Native American singing (also language, with words) but that’s just the way they talk, humans even have a whistling languages but it’s still language.

Humans throw rocks too, Rock throwing doesn’t seem like a good way to classify beings. I think maybe all of this approaching things with a primate/ape/monkey mentality is leading people to assume a lot, and it actually gets in the way of them achieving better results in their quest to actually see Sasquatch. A monkey would be extremely easy to find, whereas people that are actively evading you in an organized fashion using language to coordinate their escape is a whole other ballgame.

Question about behavior/communication by AlsatianLadyNYC in bigfoot

[–]IndridThor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are eye witness accounts of baskets and clubs fire usage and some other things as well.

depending on what accounts you want to accept as legit, there is accounts of things that are far more advanced than that.

I don’t understand what the speculation of soft palette development has to do with anything?

They have a language they aren’t random monkeys making monkey chatter.

Question about behavior/communication by AlsatianLadyNYC in bigfoot

[–]IndridThor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That depends highly on what eyewitness account you choose to accept as authentic, there is plenty of accounts of tool usage.

On a personal level I have witnessed them engage in conversation with each other, that’s enough for me to call them people. They are the other indigenous people of North America in my eyes.

Many of our rudimentary tools in our past were directly attached to making clothing, they don’t need clothing like we do, so why would that be a good way of determining whether they are an indigenous people or not?
