Take your meds.
I just have him tagged as “schizo”, helps keep me from accidentally getting sucked into conversation with him. Hopefully he gets help someday.
I think the reason why you have me tagged as a schizo is because you're projecting your distrust of yourself onto me.
Now, to be honest about it, all I was doing was using something that's not normal in doing research on something like this.
No offense to you, I’ve had conversations with you before and we’re not speaking the same language. I do hope you get help.
None taken, as I happened to be thick skinned. Where I'm thin skinned, however, is when people are unwilling to test my claims, of which might point people in a direction where they don't want to go.
Apparently, numerology use for research is not the best idea in their eyes, but that's what I do. I didn't see anything wrong with it (and why it's called a conspiracy is beyond me).
TW: Potentially the dumbest comment I've ever read on Lemmy.
Wait, what's the "under a hex (44)" from? He was 55.
Also I get 79 for "murder", where did you get 38? And for "Call of Duty"? I don't know shit about Numerology honestly lol
38 is commonly associated with murder. Call of Duty is 38 in many different ciphers.
As for the hex, kill is equal to 44, and that's connected to the 40 weeks 4 days I mentioned earlier. They all match up with hex.
Maybe check these ciphers (of which I use 16): Ordinal, Reverse Ordinal, Reduction, Reverse Reduction, Latin, Sumerian, Reverse Sumerian, Satanic, Reverse Satanic, Single Reduction, KV Exception, SKV Exception, Reverse Single Reduction, EP Exception, EHP Exception, Chaldean
Edit: After checking, Call of Duty is equal to 38 in KV Exception, SKV Exception, Single Reduction, and Reduction. That game series was chosen to gaslight us into not noticing he was murdered.
Have you considered why "Call of Duty" is 38 in Reduction, Single Reduction, KV Exception, and SKV exception?
Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that all of those ciphers having the same mappings for all letters except K, S, and V... Each of which don't appear in the phrase "Call of Duty".
"The nimble red fox ran around the lazy dog" is 38 in Reduction, Single Reduction, KV Exceptuon, and SKV Exception!!! This means it's related to murder! And I didn't even have to calculate the cipher at all, I just had to look at it and see if it had the right letters!
And that's numberwang!
Do your evidence that this was a murder is limited only to something that even crystal healers would consider crack pot?
You should hop off the internet.
Jesus fuck take your meds your mom is worried about you
Thanks for those cyphers! Is it common to use a bunch of different ones in numerology? :o
But where's "hex" coming from? I'm sure other words equal 44 too. Does "hex" equal 44 in the cyphers you use?
When you say that Call of Duty was chosen, what do you mean? He was a developer for that series, and it's his most popular work so it's where most people would know him from.
Neigsendoig (my producer) and I both use those 16 ciphers I mentioned. There are more we could use (Caps added, Caps mixed, Standard, Fibonacci, etc.), but we don't tend to use them a lot.
We both use Gematrinator as our gematria calculator of choice, and that's how we make determinations with gematria and numerology.
It sounds like some of those ciphers have big overlap, like the reduction ciphers. Do you factor that in when you're using them? I think another commenter mentioned that using multiple reduction and exception ciphers that exclude letters not used in the phrase you're analysing will obviously give you the same results, which seems like a good point to me
That I do factor in whenever I use those ciphers.
Interesting. Thanks for explaining a bit more! Have you always done numerology?
Not me personally, no. I had to learn it from my producer, Neigsendoig, who was getting into it since 2022. Since then, however, I've also been done it myself.
The human mind is impressive. To be able to blurt that out, while still knowing how to use the internet and post it on a little know place on the web, knowing you will be downvoted to shit...
I highly recommend watching https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0481369/
And if you don’t get it, watch it again. And again.
Maybe you haven't watched https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0264
I can confim I haven't watched that, but it looks like you certainly haven't watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_QmvZRS85U
seek help and get on medication.
This is more apophenia than numerology.
I didn't know this word, thanks. I argue that all numerology is apophenia.
LMAO! This was hilarious! Thanks. Much needed brevity.
To be fair, numerology can be used to seek deeper meanings, of which I just did (the mod who removed the original comment I made likely had no idea I was speaking truth to light, potentially, through the use of something the entertainment industry as a whole uses a lot).
Numerology is an absolute horse shit pseudoscience, and an easy way to summarize the lack of intelligence in those that promote it.
That mod removed it because it’s complete nonsense. And the entertainment industry also see it for the bullshit that it is.
You haven't watched Murder by Numbers it seems. Those who made the film tell you right there that they do use it. If anything, it's projecting something that I attempted to get out of myself.
