it's just a symptom of people having way too much time on their hands and wanting entertainment to multitask with. Almost none of the big podcasts are useful

History thread Anonymage 10/17/23 (Tue) 16:48:00 No.66524 [Reply]

How about a history thread? Anyone up for a history thread? I feel like a history thread. Any history!

The other day I was thinking about how disappointing it is that California doesn't have a recorded history that goes much further back than, like, 400 years or so. And I started thinking about how cool it'd be if a Mesoamerican civilization like the Mayans, the Aztecs, or the Olmecs had a colony in Southern California that was like over 1,000 years old and had ancient hieroglyphs describing the Mesoamericans' encounters with the native Californian populations. Would've been neat to have an ancient pyramid site somewhere here in Los Angeles that people could visit like the sites they have over in Mexico City.

My main hobby is collecting old audio gear, sometimes I just flip stuff if I find something easy to fix for cheap. Cassette walkmans are probably the best way to make some profit in this field, you buy bulk lots of broken ones and fix them up. Usually they just require a simple belt replacement and playback speed adjustment. The biggest profit I've made so far is with an old sharp boombox, bought it for 50$, all I needed to do is clean it up nicely and it sold for 200$ on ebay. I could make it a full time thing probably but I'd need to get better at soldering.

Language Anonymage 10/08/22 (Sat) 04:06:24 No.62906 [Reply]

I've made a habit of collecting words. I.e. familiarizing myself with their definitions and basic histories. It seems to be a beneficial practice. Because not only do I use these words to communicate to others, but I use them when communicating with myself in my thoughts.

Over the years I've preferred to use the Oxford online dictionary. But now Oxford has replaced their online dictionary with a nauseatingly pretentious, spyware laden webpage dripping with grandiose self aggrandizing verbiage about how great they are, and how much they want to help you (for a fee this time). The change in their presentation reminds me of Facebook when they rebranded themselves to weta.

I'm having to revert to a paper dictionary now. I don't think dictionary.com has the degree of precision that I appreciated from Oxford. Do any linguists have suggestions for my next primary resource for learning definitions?

Anonymage 10/08/22 (Sat) 15:05:07 No.62908

Why, Wiktionary, of course. I use it all the time both as a dictionary for the languages I'm learning as well as to track etymologies in my known languages.

I was wondering whether or not any of you here has ever practiced Santeria. What sorts of rituals or ceremonies or whatever have you had done? What did they entail and how much did they cost you? Who did you go to, and how did you know of them?

So far; I've had the following done:

Rogacion de cabeza (something like $60, $121, or $212). I've had this one done in 2016 and again in 2019.
Lebo and parado (over $750 or $1000). Both in 2019.

Many animals were decapitated. Roosters, goats, rabbits, doves…

I've worked with, like, two, three, maybe four babalawos (Santeria witch doctors). Two of them were close friends of the family for many decades. One died recently and the other is married to one of my aunts.

Was also wondering whether or not anyone here has tried Discordianism, Voodoo, Yoruba, etc. and how they compare to Santeria.

Anonymage 11/04/23 (Sat) 13:29:44 No.66616

>>66614
Discordianism is a very long running in-joke within the occult community, mainly related to chaos magick.
It isn't something that is taken seriously, especially by the practitioners.

As for the other stuff, I only speak English and I am not apart of those cultures so it goes into the "not for me" category of stuff.
My knowledge could be bested by a careful reading of a decent encyclopedia. So I have no comment on them.

Sumerian Linguistics Anonymage 09/24/23 (Sun) 16:10:22 No.66372 [Reply]

Sumerian enables us to read ancient cuneiform, texts from the earliest surviving versions of Gilgamesh to religious writings about Enki.

Only useful to historians? Learning an ancient language ALSO expands the mind. Allows you to create sort of mental richness.

All things from useful links to books you recommend are welcome.

Anonymage 10/10/23 (Tue) 05:13:07 No.66467

> Aramaic

Aramaic is kinda weird. Its most famous as the language Jesus spoke, and used in The Passion.

They were a pretty minor people living just north of Israel from Lebanon up to southern turkey.

They never had a big empire of their own. But their language was adopted by the Akkadian empire.

I think their alphabetic influence goes all the way out to Mongolia and Manchuria.

Person who started thread here. The fact that there have been male and female "kings" afterwards in various civilizations, and that they probably had leaders, and that they had a word for "king", and they did not have a word for "demomcratic president" or "samurai warlord", and that they likely did not know many foreign civilizations, gives me very heavy probability that they had a kings. Since fictional leaders are less prevalent than actual leaders in records, and they likely had kings, it's also probable the kings in the list were more or less real.

To be as concise as possible: the movie is a portrayal of cold hearted bureaucratic leadership that affects young soldiers at the facility negatively. All sense of humanity is removed and you're left with a gore splattered nightmare that shows the true face of war. That's the movie in itself but you can, of course, question the severity of the content.

i love that movie. have seen it at least 5 times. it's so long but it's such a fun crazy ride that it always passes by too quickly. it's been some 2.5 years since i last watched it and i'm planning on waiting at least another year before rewatching it.

>suicide club
didn't like it that much, but it's been awhile and can't remember much from it, so maybe i should give it another try. but i did love "noriko's dinner table" almost as much as love exposure, which is kind of a prequel to suicide club, though still a very different kind of movie and much more similar to love exposure.
