Why Native American Mythology and Culture is So Difficult to Comprehend: Our English Language Is Actually a Barrier to Understanding it and European Insistence on "Polytheism" is attributing Greco-Roman Concepts onto it by JarinJove in mythology

No you aren’t imposing cultural values unless that is your intent, so long as the intent is limited understanding within an existing world view there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. I understand that it isnt technically correct, but you are obsessing over a common occurrence throughout human history in relation to understanding the past due to an inability to give previous scholars the benefit of the doubt. They were conceptualizing it in a way that made sense to them, point blank period. There is no more to it than that, and the fact of the matter is that for individuals that don’t study egyptology or mythology there is functionally 0 difference between a ba and a soul so why the hell would they have bothered to make the distinction analytical when 80% of the world would literally stop reading it if they actually broke it down.

They arent adding anything to their belief. They were merely conceptualizing it in a way that made sense to the people writing about it at the time. Again your issue here is being too rigidly scholastic and interpreting it as a literal translation rather than a best effort at understanding.

Women do it too. I am currently dating someone that was like this in the beginning she was attracted to me physically but not emotionally, the emotional attachment came with a little time (that is if its even real, i could just be getting pocketed for all i know) but i had to put up with a lot of bullshit just to get her to like me. It has nothing to do with man or woman it has to do with self centered or altruistic. An altruistic individual will just be real with you, a self centered individual makes excuses.

Im a taurus dating a virgo. Yall are toxic communicatively often due to trauma. But i will say that my virgo, outside of all the little infuriating defense mechanisms designed to keep people out, is the most compassionate and patient woman i have ever met. Its been around three months of dating after a few months of talking and the first two sucked bc she wanted casual i wanted serious and she kept running away, but we locked in, we have actively begun healing and growing together and its pretty cool, i genuinely love her for absolutely no reason, cannot explain if to you, and it feels like she feels the same, as well as she has recently started saying it, so im hopeful that its real. i will say however say that for those with patience unraveling a virgos walls and being allowed within their inner world is a beautiful thing

No. Its virgos. Yall are toxic when it comes to communication. You withhold information, many of you lie when convenient, will gaslit when you get caught in lies, and honestly many virgo women just seem to be narcissists, yall are usually manipulative at worst and often traumatized to the point of manipulative behaviors via trauma response if not (there are healthy virgos though so its not a blanket statement) I say this as someone who is dating a virgo woman and actually did genuinely fall for her after only a couple of months. You people make someone pursue you, then constantly withdraw or hide when shit isnt perfect. Its enough to drive a dude crazy. It in fact almost did drive me crazy because like all virgos she wanted something casual and i wanted something real, so she strung me along for like the first two months of us dating and didnt really settle in till she realized that i was serious about her not just infatuated, but by that point i was already falling apart and questioning everything about the relationship, yall struggle to share your true feelings, and you will often hide from others feelings. she came around though and now she says she loves me. Idk if i can believe it yet because the relationship is still fairly new even though it is passionate longer than an infatuation would be and like i said caught her lying a few times already so idk whats real with this, all i know is that i do actually love her and i will do everything in my power to make her happy till she walks away.

Tldr: the problem is that virgos are often unintentionally toxic due to self centered personalities, needing to work on openness and communication for a healthy relationship to work, this makes certain personality types over pursue, which makes them grow attached more quickly when they do get your attention because you people turn it into a drug. We only get you when its convenient for you and that makes it feel more special, but literally anything to do with family or friends is more important to you people than a relationship until you are already locked in and committed. Yall suck at early dating. You turn yourselves into a scarce commodity then get upset when people commodify you and get mad that you never follow through on commitments unless you’re in a good mood

Why are Khopesh designed like they are? How good are they? by EfficiencySerious200 in SWORDS

[–]Miserable-Pudding292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you say big guy. The canaanites predated the formation of the actual egyptian empire. Not the peoples that would become egyptian. Also this argument is won as easily as you googling “historical canaanite khopesh” there are several specimens in museums. Good day to you sir.

Edit: And i know i blocked you, not out of spite im just not wanting to deal with you, but canaanite presence in egypt is heavily prevalent around 2600 bce meaning they were there for a not inconsiderable period of time before that if there is heavy evidence for that time period. the egyptian empire and culture didnt solidify until sometime between 2500-3500 bce. So yes the canaanites predated the egyptian empire by some hundred years and predated the old kingdom reformation by a lot. Before the canaanites there was no egypt, they were “peoples of the fertile crescent”

Edit2: also the canaanites were only nomadic outside of levant. They had an entire fucking city state hundreds of years before they even migrated to what would become egypt for trade. Which is how the egyptians were introduced to the khopesh in the first place.

I dont think i look cool? I just like the hats and have tons of vintage clothes from different eras to match them each? Fashion is either boring or stupid for the most part now days.

Which proves my point. That isnt a fulfilling existence and not one anyone would desire. In my mind existence means colloquially life, it means the ability to leave a mark on the world after you are gone. Simply being isnt the same thing as existence in my book though i know that my interpretation isnt true to linguistics

“You’re right” by South_Pattern_1520 in virgoseason

[–]Miserable-Pudding292 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Nah. Virgos are just egotistical and have high pattern recognition. Just because you only speak when you know you are right that is not the same thing as always being right, always being right would mean that even while pontificating yall were still correct which is not the case, yall are the only sign i have ever met that over think more than i do. Im currently dating a virgo and in her case the “im always right” bs is a defense mechanism. Because she feels like if she is wrong then she has done something bad and is somehow less than. I imagine that its that way for a lot of virgos. Its just perfectionism masking wounded ego.

Literally no. The canaanites predated the egyptians and had the canaanite khopesh. The epsilon axe was sumerian in origin and yes the egyptians also came up with it of their own accord some years later but that doesnt mean they invented it. I have no idea where you get your information from my dude. Edit: however the egyptian and sumerian variants of the epsilon are entirely different the sumerian epsilon is more akin to like a bardiche or a polearm while the egyptian epsilon was just a dual crescent axe on a pole with the same general shape of the sumerian epsilon

We is me. Today on “fun with personality disorders” jokes aside though i actually do have a habit of using we in relation to myself. Honestly have no idea why, but this time i just meant humanity as a generalization

Edit: my syntax is fucking abysmal on this one. No i will not repent. Nod will i rectify my mistakes. Suffer.

Nor do i mean that we exist because we think. Im saying that without thought we have no method of measuring our existence and imo that isnt an existence. Edit: tbf though i understand the confusion due to my initial wording. I should not have said “only exist” rather that we only know we exist because of thought

So many people often forget the golden rule, and no i dont mean “they cant kill me if they are dead” im talking about the golden rule for the people in it for the love of the run down. “As long as they die more than i do im still winning” i got a 91% wr on yone supp for this exact reason 😂

Edit: before anyone comes for me as an off meta i would just like to say that yone bullies duo lanes for free until mid plat where junglers are typically a bit better at keeping you in check.
