Anthropological Types of People Living in Los Angeles
Nungali replied to Lois's topic in The Rabbit Hole
Anthropological type ? An "anthropological type" refers to a discredited historical concept from the late 19th and early 20th centuries that involved categorizing humans into distinct racial groups based on observable physical traits like skin color or head shape Like Nazis and Apartheid used to do ! . This typological model, used to define categories such as Negroid or Caucasoid races, is now considered scientifically invalid and is rejected by modern anthropology. Current understanding acknowledges that such traits are simple variations influenced by environmental factors, not inherent categories of people. You might be trying to talk about 'ethnic groups' ? -
Could the choice of HP Lovecraft's fictional villains be inspired by the Bible
Nungali replied to Sanity Check's topic in Abrahamic Religions Discussion
I see, so you are not now going off the Bible at all ? - even though you said you were in the first line of your first post . -
I was referring to your statement that '' I think you're all in mine '' So, is it yours or God's ... or do you think we are in a simulation made for you by God ? or just changing tac due to 'pressure' or what ?

Yes ... but it is 'in the field ' of craziness . By that I mean ..... when people do go 'off' these are the type of things they get into in excess and go off about . You view makes more sense if I assume synchronicity are mostly magical oir indicative of something else other than the usual dynamic . When people do go 'off' their issues are usually about synchronicity , UFOs , magic , people out to get them, delusions of persecution, grandeur and special powers . To see that one only has to read .... Daobums Yes all those things have some validity ... but do you not think it is 'interesting' that when people do go off they loose a balanced view on these very things ? Thats why these are not good subjects for the unstable to get into . .

Pointless ? Even if it can explain a process that is specific to your own point of view that might be a biased observation ? if some one asks what is your fav color and you say blue . Then you see a dog with a blue collar and then a blue bus go past , you go ... well, whatever you do when you feel 'synchronized ' ( paranoid, happy , connected , suspicious, multiple universe, illusioned, matrixed ... whatever ) When it just might just be coincidental and a red and yellow bus passed but you never noticed ... but the blue one stood out to you due to your own 'stream of consciousness ' ? That explanation would be pointless to you ? And you would rather walk around being ''synchronized' ?

Then the neighbor and the bus going past must be too , no ? I have to ask, what is your purpose in projecting the bus passing as you have a smoke ?

Nungali replied to Sanity Check's topic in Abrahamic Religions Discussion
It might be clearer if you cite the Bible passage description of Seraphim you are referring to . All I know of is in Isiah 6 ; 2. '' 2 Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. ie; How did you get to this monstrosity ? ; Even 'the creatures' (not called Seraphim ) in Revelations might be part inspiration ... this is highly selective 'interpretation ' ; it does say they are ''covered in eyes front and back '' ( Rev 4 : 7 ) does not describe a disc or a single central eye but does say , '' The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. 8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings.'' If I was going to pick a sea creature that looked like a Seraphim it would be a nudibranc ; -

Since an octopus does not have 6 wings , encased in fire ( 'saraph' - to burn ) , do not go around singing '' "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory". And since a Seraphim does not live in the sea , eat crabs, have 8 arms covered in suckers , two eyes and a beak ..... I would say , no . I would also ask what the inspiration was in selecting that particular example of a Seraphim ( which in no way represents the Biblical description ! ) in your post - considering the options available . I like this one better ; 'Not like an octopus ' . And Cthulu was not considered to be just an octopus either - Kraken + dragon + 'anthropomorphic form ' . Also, there are things you can do with an octopus you can not do with a seraphic angel -
Yellow will do .

I might be .... certainly saw no canaries . But I might be off course ..... I should be somewhere out off the Straights of Gibraltar , but there seems to be large island ahead that isnt on my map ?
-
yeah ... could be that . Or maybe cadcam has good bus services in his area ? Or the other possibility is , that neighbor Cadcam sees each time he goes out is watching for him and then reports in 'Okay guys, Cadcam has come outside to have a smoke ...... roll 'em out ! ''

Where are the High Level Martial Artists/Fighters at?
Nungali replied to Goden's topic in The Rabbit Hole
I have a new training partner ... who is actually intelligent and knows what is going on ! What a relief and delightful change ! He is a fit muscled 30+ local indigenous man that has been away a long time and has returned to his country ( ie. this local area ) . He has done some kick boxing, boxing ( yes ! finally, someone that knows how to punch properly ! ) and ninjutsu , so he has experience in a bit of weaponry , but he wants to learn some others , including sword . He picks things up quick , and knows a lot, which is good as I dont do beginners ( it starts roughly at black belt level ) or children . He is also related to my teacher ... indigenous teacher that is , my martial arts teacher died some time back ) ... of course . I say 'of course' because just about every indigenous person I have met on the east coast , under some unusual , coincidental or 'magical' conditions - or even picking up a hitch hiker , when I mention his name they ' Thats one of my relatives ! ' We both have an interest in indigenous weaponry and hope to make some and experiment with it in the future . Eg Various names in different languages but also called the '' Capital L '' ; A good general weapon ; blocking , hooking limbs and weapons , striking (with the back of the head , not the point ) parrying and defecting and you can throw it . You need to find the right tree and cut the piece out where the base of the trunk turns into a main horizontal root , to get the grain of the wood following the shape of the ' L ' .- 189 replies

'Tic-tok' had a few other good human insults ; 'meatface' and 'shitbelly' Predicted in 1983 ! '' The title character is an intelligent robot (named after the mechanical man in the Oz books) who originally works as a domestic servant and house-painter. Unlike other robots, whose behavior is constrained by "asimov circuits"—a reference to Isaac Asimov's fictional Three Laws of Robotics, which require robots to protect and serve humans—Tik-Tok finds that he can do as he pleases, and he secretly commits various hideous crimes for his amusement. After manipulating both robots and humans to cause chaos and bloodshed, Tik-Tok becomes wealthy (partly through health care privatization) and is finally elected Vice President of the United States. ''
