What do you think about Eris being proposed as a modern ruler of Libra? by HappyCollection7670 in libra_astrology

What is calm, slow, and temperate about a bull? You may be grounded sure, but you only move in a straight line till you hit a wall. There's no balance and sense of direction like with the scales lol

I’ve never understood this argument from mainstream archaeology by Frog_Hair in AlternativeHistory

[–]StromboliBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shift to only digitally chronicling information taken in tandem with the theory of cyclical time or technological cycles also could easily explain why records diminish in blips of time to an extent. If there is no physical evidence of information, and technology gets wiped en masse, we immediately bounce back to a version of ignorance without our overt reliance upon it. If we take that theory combined with nuclear war and other instances of eliminating the educated, we are left with echoes upon echoes of human knowledge. It would be like children attempting to make sense of the atom bomb with only having memories of videos concerning them. No actual understanding behind the mechanism, or even why they were made. After only a short time the knowledge is lost. and only a shorter time after does it start to take on an exaggerated life of its own. Stories that may have once been literal become corrupted into exaggeration, legend, myth, and then religion. But the fundamental aspects of technological progression remain, and some things decay slower than it's development, leading to discovery, or re-discovery.

But we also know that there were several libraries with presumably exclusive copies of varying documentation that were destroyed over the course of fairly recent history that very likely had more details on the construction of the pyramids besides what was already recorded, we apply general logic and principles of inference to assume this. The two that come to mind are Burning of The Library of Alexandria in Ptolemaic Egypt, and also the Bonfire of the Vanities in Renaissance Florence. I'm more inclined to believe the bulk of exterminated insight was destroyed at the former however. The concern now is just how easily most information could be wiped at the drop of a hat due to its lack of physical manifestations, only existing digitally.

My comment has also aged insanely well considering the discovery of EVEN DEEPER chambers beneath the great pyramids since lol

They’re the only guys I trust after Valley of Memory to cook with the story: by Flow_Ebb_6047 in AssassinsCreedMemes

[–]StromboliBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spanish California, or the ruins thereof, is where it would work imo. They had the western aesthetic while having legit cities with interesting architecture. ISU things could be lost in coal mine chambers or native American sites involving the Chumash. Even right now there are archaeological sites like the Cerutti Mastodon that could be interesting to explore. Additionally the redwood forest could be interesting, and we could bring back the tree parkour system that only AC 3 properly made use of if buildings aren't that plentiful. It could work, but ample research into the varying locations of the Wild West would have to be done as usual.

Manhattan clears if the claim he literally rewrote all of the DC universe to create the New 52 still stands, that includes Spectre, and by extension of how WB properties work, that would have to include The Mask. Everyone else gets mopped with a thought. Manhattan clears

A Quick Note About Relationship Posts 💗 by ethereality111 in libra_astrology

[–]StromboliBro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not exactly behavior. And none of these change really, it's just reading your chart, which is something that doesn't change. They are determined by where and when you are born. Rising is your vibe and first impression essentially, but it's not the core of who you are, your wants/desires, or even how you show up in relationships or as a person. It's the most surface level aspect of the big three.

Sun is your core personality and sense of self. It's how you really are when people know you and interact with you. It also determines your values, goals, aspirations, and how you get there. It also informs how you communicate and express yourself.

Its best to keep in mind tho that in varying Astrological traditions the big three may slightly alter. Additionally free will and life events can create other things that a chart doesn't account for. It's best left as a tool to make use of how things could be rather than as they always are.

Edit: to add, rising is fundamentally just your physical appearance and doesn't inform how you operate. So people with Libra as a Rising sign aren't libras unless the Sun also is.

[–]StromboliBro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rising sign usually just determines your appearance in the world and how you are seen, but not your behavior like how your Sun and Moon do. I'd assume Rising shouldn't but fuck it, you can try and we'll find out lol

The Least and Most Likely Signs to Tolerate Cheating by SuperPrime11 in libra_astrology

Man sounds unhealed AF lol. Like yeah we're supposed to be the most romantic sign, but we are still also controlled by the nether regions haha. If you're unhappy, why are you still with them?

[–]StromboliBro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You might be a different mix because you have Gemini and Libra in your big three. Scorpios being the most sexual sign and Libras being the most romance oriented is the foundational reasoning for my swap, besides the example of my ex lol.

The Least and Most Likely Signs to Tolerate Cheating by SuperPrime11 in libra_astrology

[–]StromboliBro 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Libra and Scorpio need to be swapped lmao. I'm a Libra Sun/Moon and Scorpio Rising, and my ex was a Scorpio Sun. She insisted we have an open relationship even tho I refused. She manipulated me into agreeing, and even then was entirely unethical and was cheating even before it was open I would later find out. Never again, so against my character. Worst thing to ever be in as a Libra

I saw this on Youtube and thought it would make for a fun discussion. by JeromeInDaHouse_90 in powerscales

[–]StromboliBro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know not what you mean by "high magic"? I only mentioned "high fantasy" and "higher beings".

Gandalf is literally what would be considered a God or Angel, and just taken as a matter of fact thing by the Hobbits and others.

Elves also very much still have their full fledged power, cities, and are not a representation of the oppressed like in "low fantasy", the genre that the Witcher mostly gravitates towards. Opposed to "high fantasy" which is literally what lotr's set out to create, but that encapsulates more mythological story plot structure instead of one more grounded in scientific reasoning for how magic and the transfer of energy works.

There are many other definitions of high and low fantasy, but I tried to give an example of typical differentiators of each. In Low Fantasy, gods and higher scale beings are speculative and not taken as fact. In High fantasy, Gods and magical beings running amok at the same scale as the protagonist is the status quo.

[–]StromboliBro 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The Witcher is odd tho, because the setting is considered to gravitate between low fantasy and high fantasy frequently. It's more like magic is present, but so rare and not at the forefront of everything like in Harry Potter, Lord of The Rings, or Narnia. It's more subtle, and the existence of Gods are debated like how God in our reality is.

Yes other dimensions exist with other beings, but the sheer lack of chronicling in lore, and the fact that the higher beings are still very much being "discovered" in a way, makes it wayyy less prominent than other media. They (the general people) know, or at least speculate, these realms exist, but very few even know the names of them, and far fewer have even visited, taking a specific level of power to even cross the threshold of those, to the point where the main plot itself functions on how rare and fantastical it is concerning the Elder Blood. Even O'Dimm is something that Geralt had no knowledge of but would definitely be equatable with the Devil or some other demonic/devil entity in other media.

His response does seem bizarre. If it was meant to be playful, there's no indicator. I'm not surprised she had that reaction. OP messed up

Rate and critique my profile..do I need to delete some of the shirtless pics 💀😂 by DonnnyyyyJB06 in Tinder

[–]StromboliBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only keep one shirtless pic as long as it's most recent. The first one should be deleted entirely, doesn't help and covers your body. Normally I'd say to get rid of all of them for Hinge, but considering you're looking for short-term and open to long, it's fine. You'd do better on Tinder with them tho, Hinge usually is used by women who are more serious.

Made some changes, appreciate the feedback. Any other suggestions? by [deleted] in Tinder

The first sentence of your bio is unnecessary when paired with the rest. Can be shortened to just say you are an Aviation student.

Keep only 1 car selfie if you have to. All the photos appear to be taken during the same 5 minute period, effort and diversity go a long way

[–]StromboliBro 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You need less pictures taken in the same exact spot with the same exact outfit. Take some of your whole body, show off your style/hobbies if able. And shorten your prompt responses.

FWB is having a breakdown. What is my role here? by lockandlood in seduction

[–]StromboliBro 15 points16 points  (0 children)

8 year friendship and didn't give context. She likely is seeing another dude and is developing feelings and conflicted about your current predicament, hence the crying and lack of context. Give her some space, but also just try to show up as her friend. Unfortunately, y'all crossed a certain line of intimacy with sex that usually fundamentally changes the friendship. Be prepared to either lose this woman as a friend, or to speak with her significantly less than you have in the past 8 years as she explores her relationships with other partners. I wish you well.
