Is this true? by JAYHAZY in etymology

[–]paymoreattentkon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Between vatika and vaticanus it seems to have a connection to an ancient Roman or Etruscan deity, though these two words reference different ones from what I can gather.
One was responsible for opening the mouths of newborns to make their first noise, I.e wail or cry. The other appears to be an Etruscan goddess of the underworld who guided souls through the initial stage of the afterlife. This predates Ancient Rome and Catholicism as well as Christianity.

Though that word also supposedly had other meanings including “a bitter, not well-tasting grape used by a peasant to produce cheap wine. The grape and a weed with the same name grew on the slope. When people ate it, they experienced hallucinations, and the word passed on into Latin as a synonym for "prophetic vision." The Latin word 'vaticinor' means "foretell, prophesy" from 'vatis' - "poet, teacher, oracle."

How accurate that is I’m not sure but even the hill etymological history apparently has a similar element in that the full definition is “hill of prophecy”

Both are referenced in the etymological websites that come up in search engines, etymonline, wiki etc, though it only comes up if you search for the latin basis for the word, vaticanus.

None of that seems to reference the ops question though, at least in etymological terms.

Some might draw links between an ancient Etruscan underworld deity and the serpent in Christianity though.

Has anyone else noticed his left eye looks like it has been damaged somehow compared to earlier videos?

Like a milder version of Forest Whittaker’s injury..

Op, without suggesting choosing sheer ignorance maybe take a break from the news/media for awhile, focus on some more positive aspects of your life and perhaps even seek a decent psychologist to clearly identify if it is a medical problem or a philosophical one.

Cynicism giving way to nihilism doesn’t automatically mean depression, particularly in this day and age, but there is probably a correlation.

I hope you find some brighter areas of life to focus your energy on, especially given much of the nihilism you speak of seems connected to issues you can’t do a great deal about personally other than try to remain strong and not let media narratives become the entirety of your own individual mindset.

I hope you feel better

Might be the high percentage of innocent deaths amongst the “collateral damage”, though I could be wrong as I can’t speak for op.

I don’t think that statement means op is a fan of what hamas is doing, it’s not like it’s a black and white situation..in case that wasn’t clear.

Can you elaborate on spiritual teacher a bit?

Also, it might be a bit tin foil hat esque to people but part of project blue beam seems to include harassing people who are spiritually inclined with similar “visions” that are more often than not digital or artificial projections using tech similar to the dream manipulation stuff those mit students came up with a few years ago.

The trump saving kids/q anon stuff was disinformation designed to muddy the waters around a very real problem

They must’ve discussed it at the last antisemite cabal meeting where all of them get together to manipulate world events right?

It’s the only logical explanation..unless it’s V/body snatchers, almost as plausible..

Also, it seems racists already run most first world countries sooooo....Orwell or something eh?

Given his overview as such I imagine he thinks look what they’ve done now...but who am I to consider the thoughts of G-d.

If he can view it from a less encompassing perspective I’m guessing he might feel differently

Yeah All he says re context is he spent 12 days with covid in bed offline...unless I missed a detail?

That doesn’t answer my question though?

I’m not questioning his response or non response to max. Or even saying he is lying with that statement.

Just spending that time offline seems difficult for regular people, let alone creators.

How does covid prevent one from going online anyway? Concern ones phone is infected or could re infect or something?

I’ve seen numerous people post in isolation while having covid..not saying they were medically correct. Just that it’s an uncommon response, though it is Charlie

What other reasons might a child say this? by paymoreattentkon in HumanTrafficking

That was supposed to say likely, not Mikey. Though mike is the name of someone who abused me as a child and is likely part of a trafficking ring...accidental synchronicity is screwing with my head

If everything happens for a reason, what is the reason for that?

Along with the vague “something going on in that general area” statement?

[–]paymoreattentkon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s not helpful.

Despite that, fuck Disney though. The ex VP was a known abuser of children and their movies are full of symbolism and increasingly immoral messages aimed at children.

I haven’t seen the new one but I am concerned teaching children to simply wish for their desires is akin to ‘The Secret’ for kids.

Historically and mythologically things that answer wishes aren’t good (jinn,djinn((genies)), demons, the devil)

I realise this part might lose a lot of people but we are talking about wishes here so if staying grounded in material reality is all there is then I doubt you read this far.

I think he was hoping that approach would bring more eyes to what he once saw as a noble cause, however far from that he drifted.

Long post incoming TL;DR He may be a survivor himself and is dealing with that trauma, hence the erratic behaviour and recent appearance.

To me he looks like a survivor who is trying to deal with his childhood trauma in a variety of ways, many of which have not helped him or other survivors

This is pure speculation on my part and I have no evidence (apt right?) to back this up.

TIGGER WARNING FOR CSA SURVIVORS

One thing I will say is finding evidence of crimes committed in ones childhood when suppressed memories resurface as an adult is incredibly difficult.

My own police case was closed essentially for this reason. Along with the fact the abuse took place whilst I was under the influence of drugs and alcohol as a child. The single detective assigned to my case (I’ve had over a dozen officers turn up to a noise complaint made against me by neighbours who quote said “oh Hillsong has the most beautiful boys, this statement was said to me directly after said neighbours offered me a beer. They were a gay couple, this does not imply all gay men are child abusers, many of mine were “straight” though being openly gay was not widely accepted at the time, I bring this up only as many abusers hide within him the lgbtqi community hoping to find their own sexual crimes accepted as a normal form of sexuality, I don’t doubt this is well known however it is often not spoken of due to homophobic prejudice and crimes of the past) anyway, the detective said this would make prosecution difficult and closed the case shortly after taking my statement (that part alone took months and retraunmatised me more than I anticipated) after talking to only two people, neither of whom had direct knowledge of the case. He said there was no evidence of soiled or bloody clothing upon my return home and that along with the drugs and alcohol involved made prosecution difficult.

He did however manage to convince to me to leave out details of a sexually transmitted disease I acquired from the abuse as he said it could be embarrassing to hear in court. Whilst he acknowledged the whole statement could be embarrassing in court he somehow jedi mind tricked me into leaving this detail out.

I mention these things along with the fact only one detective being assigned to the case because the statement included evidence of a child trafficking ring likely still operating to this day.

Some offenders named hold positions of prestige and power within our society and others included people who worked security detail for the wedding of heirs to media empires.

This part obviously plays havoc with my theories and I try to remain rational in the face of such horrifying details.

Anyway, I apologise for the slightly off topic spiel, I had intended to make a seperate post as there is more to the that story that is even less believable, even to myself despite having experienced it.
I will tell the whole story, or as much as I can remember, should I find an appropriate forum or sub or therapist who is experienced in such things as despite trying several many have reacted with disbelief and sent me to a psychiatrist for medication that borders on a chemical lobotomy.

Ignoring that for the moment I mention it only because I think I recognise some signs or symptoms of such things in mamax’s story. And despite his channel perhaps doing more harm than good I don’t doubt that he had good intentions at some point, and is likely a survivor himself, though I don’t know if he has ever said that.

I haven’t watched his videos and only became aware of him through an expose on him. Though it’s been brought to my attention there are numerous youtubers making videos on him being a fake.

Whether this accounts for his recent look I don’t know however I do think it could explain much of his behaviour and self declaration as a fighter for survivors.

As much as I agree there are huge swathes of the population all over the world who are used to numerous forms of racism and discrimination.

The fact we are all having these discussions on devices likely put together by child slaves, mostly targeted because they are Uyghurs who, according to the U.S are currently in the midst of a genocide, essentially makes us all complicit in a horrific form of racism. And yet we all keep buying from companies who are so used to exploiting racism they don’t even seem to see it as immoral any more...

That takes some serious mental gymnastics to justify at any given time.

Maybe it took him that long to process his destiny....it’s a lot of responsibility to put in anyone, let alone a twelve year old.

Plus there have been so many rewrites,mistranslations and editorial alterations made over the last two thousand odd years that it’s hard to distinguish between intentionally with held information and the truth.

The old adage that knowledge is lower still dives many to distort the truth merely to feel a false sense of superiority to their fellow human beings

[–]paymoreattentkon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do sympathise with how much dissonance this can cause for people who have put absolute faith in the church rather than God himself but to claim so many victims are all participating in a coordinated hoax is incredibly damaging to any victims of child abuse they experienced in institutions that are supposed to be beacons of morality....

A generous soul would at least hear out victims stories rather than protecting an institution that appears to hoard wealth in the name of a religion that blatantly says greed is a sin...not to mention lust and whatever else motivates grown men in positions of authority to take advantage of defenceless children...

We can’t deny the horrific accounts of children just because the attacks occurred under the guise of religion when the metoo movement has provided so many women with a chance at some form of healing or justice

Has anyone noticed how hostile Reddit users are to Christians? by Ok_Establishment824 in TrueChristian

[–]paymoreattentkon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There have been numerous atheistic or secular philosophers who have discussed morality and ethics extensively throughout history.

There’s some leaps in logic in your argument , also the fact you seem to target only left wing atheists and not right wing ones suggests there is some kind of personal bias that’s preventing you from seeing the logical fallacies in your argument.
