MisterNeon,

Ranma taught me that any everyday activity can be a martial art and multiple freaks out there want to destroy any sort of domestic relationship.

MisterNeon,

I love that game and started playing it about a week before the controversy started. Gerard’s face as the carpenter was eerie in a biblical way. It looked like something from a RPG set in the Bible.

The Final 4 are here! UPDATE: 3 new pics added for each owl in their respective threads (lemmy.world)

Some tough battles were fought yesterday, and we sadly sat goodbye to 2 more very loved owls. Both matches came down to the end and we’re very close, so condolences to about half of you. I know I was rooting for the Flammy, his rise to fame has been very fun to watch develop....

MisterNeon,

C’mon chicuatli!

MisterNeon,

The tragic fact is there were probably quite a few legends, morals, fables, and stories about Mesoamerican animals. Most of those were violently erased.

I do know this, owls were considered a portent of death, in fact chicuatli (be it barn or screech) is the day bird of Mictlantecuhtli (Lord of the dead lands) assigned on chicuacen (six) day of any trecena (13 day week) of the Tonalpohualli (sacred calendar / count of days).

MisterNeon,

Another tragedy because I basically only know remedial information. I’ve done what research I can on the Nahuatl word chicuatli because I was born on the sixth day of a trecena. Went down a rabbit hole trying to figure out which owl it refers to. Information online about Mesoamerica is either sparse, inaccurate, or purposely repugnant so I buy physical books for my research on “Aztecs”. Not the most efficient way of learning.

I’ve thought about doing an article, but the idea of me being fundamentally wrong about a subject about another culture fills me with dread. Even if I did my best work with earnest intentions the byproduct may still come out evil.

Best to obsess over Aztecs, read your obsession with owls, and root for my screech owl to win.

MisterNeon,

Keep up the good owl work. You at least got a history nerd from Texas to check out owl facts on the regular.

MisterNeon,

Hahaha, that’s actually “tecolotl” the great horned owl. That’s the day bird for day mahtlactli (ten) which is the day bird of Tezcatlipoca (Smoking Mirror). See what I mean this stuff is complicated, kinda why I love it. Check it out the owls are day six and day ten on the border of this page/plate.

The average person from Houston is much different from the average person in El Paso. I’m from Texas and I’m a vegetarian that hates guns.

MisterNeon,

No, I’m a vegetarian because I find animals disgusting.

MisterNeon,

Even bacon.

MisterNeon,

Yep, I find humans disgusting too. I don’t eat them either.

MisterNeon,

I like my entertainment violent and educational.

MisterNeon,

Yep Hugh Laurie, it’s from a show called Black Adder starring the actor that plays Mr. Bean.

what is a skill you wish you had, and why?

Ok, I might as well go first: I wish I could draw. Not at the level where I could make photorealistic portraits, but I’ve always been envious of those who are able to scetch something together in a few minutes that perfectly captures what they want to convey. Sometimes words aren’t enough to express what I want to say, and...

MisterNeon,

I wish I could speak Spanish fluently. Formal, immersion, and independent study got me nowhere. I REALLY want to go to Mexico City to see ruins and it would be helpful if I could carry a conversation.

MisterNeon,

I am a programmer. It’s like riding a bike, the training wheels are follow along projects on Udemy and YouTube. Don’t try to start with massive projects for dream ambitions, make a button fetch some data when clicked then move on from there.

MisterNeon,

The older I get the less I have to talk about. Tv and movies are lame, the video games I play normal people never heard of, and nobody wants to hear what I read in books. The weather is really easy to mumble about.

MisterNeon, (edited )

Yahoo Answers needs to come back.

How often do you use "AI" to reply to your messages, if at all?

The recent chat bot advances have pretty much changed my life. I used to get anxiety by receiving mails and IMs, sometimes even from friends. I lost friendships over not replying. My main issue being that I am sometimes get completely stuck in a loop of how to formulate things in the best way to the point of just abandoning the...

MisterNeon,

Never and if I found out someone did this to me I would be very insulted.

MisterNeon,

Man I hope this ends up being chicuatli vs chicuatli.

MisterNeon,

I honestly care more about this than the super bowl.

MisterNeon,

Not sure you can say the same thing about maize. That plant is a mutant freak considering what we did to it.

MisterNeon,

It’s not stronger but more versatile. I’m not sure you call something that can’t reproduce without human intervention stronger. The stalk is definitely stronger than the original teosinte plant, that trait was selected over time for bean support.

MisterNeon,

Alert the Munch Squad.

MisterNeon,

MisterNeon,

He walked into it, I can’t imagine the sensation.

MisterNeon,

Oh wow an internet relic.

MisterNeon,

Hey they remembered the chacmool! Shouldn’t that be in front of the momoztli?

MisterNeon,

Public executions for crimes in Europe eventually turned into entertainment for the masses.

MisterNeon,

I really hate making small talk, I’ll use the scanner.

MisterNeon,

These are great keep them coming.

MisterNeon,

The other chicuatli.

MisterNeon,

I wouldn’t mind seeing more comics that are over a century old.

MisterNeon,

Hey, an owl that is a subject of my interests. I don’t suppose anyone knows in Nahuatl if “Chicuatli” refers to screech owl or a barn owl?

MisterNeon,

So not only have been down that rabbit hole, but I’ll raise you:

nahuatl.wired-humanities.org/content/chicuatli

If you look up the day birds in the Codex Borgia the sixth day bird "Chicuatli’ has a white face (10 has a human skull so leave a bit of wiggle room for artist interpretation).

Edit: “but since I don’t know how to pronounce chicuatli” ~ Chee-kwat-lee

I study Aztec history for fun.

MisterNeon,

Most surprising fact: A holiday that took place in Tenochtitlan dedicated Xipe Totec that lasted 20 days, which involved youths doing mock battles in the city wearing the flayed skin of sacrifice victims.

Best surprising fact to bring up in polite company: There used to be feather workers that would make mosaics as an artform.

MisterNeon,

Holy crap, an actually useful community.

MisterNeon,

As a former Texan this breaks my heart. Alot of innocent and less well off people will suffer due to entrenched corruption.

I moved away because of this exact kind of shit.

MisterNeon,

Philadelphia, it’s paradise.

MisterNeon,

Hate to break it to you, but the old bags will be replaced by new younger douchebags.

MisterNeon,

I came here after Boost stopped working.

MisterNeon,

Did they ever add a shopping cart? That was the reason I never bought games from them.
