Aliyites are those who follow AL-'Aliyiyyah, a Sufi movement within Zaydi Shia Islam which often incorporates elements of religious syncretism, seemingly influenced by Zoroastrianism, Yoruba African religions, and Buddhism.

Aliyite Muslims believe Imam Ali shares an essence with Jesus Christ, and that the two religious figures shared a common soul of God. Many Aliyites also believe in Orisha Ogun, and that he was one with Imam Ali.

Lots of Sweetgum Kriyul people, especially ethnic Qarsherskiyans, are Aliyites.

Aliyite

Aliyites are part of AL-'Aliyiyyah (Arabic: العليئية), a Sufi movement within Zaydi Shia Islam, which considers the possibility of Zarathustra and the Buddha being prophets whose message may have been corrupted over time, and many of it's followers believe in Orishas from West African religions, believing they were Islamic religious figures, and not deities. Many Aliyites believe Orisha Ogun is one with Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib and that Imam Ali and Jesus Christ share a common essence which is the Soul of God (روح الله).

My Aliyite friend said Orisha Ogun is not a reincarnation of Imam Ali, but a continuation of the life of the first Imam, who is the first and the last (أول و أخر).

Aliyite

The Aliyite Tariqa is a Sufi order within Zaydi Shia Islam that has around one million followers around the world. The Ethnic Qarsherskiyan Tribe in Eastern North America are heavily influenced by Aliyite beliefs, and many of the Ethnic Qarsherskiyans are Aliyites. Many Aliyites believe that Orisha Ogun is one with Imam Ali and that Imam Ali was a continuation of the life of Jesus Christ, and that Jesus is one with Orisha Obatala or Obatallah. These Aliyites also believe the Orishas of the Ifa religion were real and were actually angels, Imams, and prophets whose messages were distorted and who were falsely deified overtime by misguided people.

Many Aliyites believe Imam Ali came to North America either with West African explorers from the Mali Empire or being brought by the angels including angel Jibreel/Gabriel. These Aliyites believe that Imam Ali first stepped foot in North America on a hill that had a Native American encampment on top of it, and Imam Ali gave them dawah, and the sacred Carolina Parakeets (Conuropsis carolinensis) copied Imam Ali's sermons and flew around repeating them, spreading Islam to many Native American tribes.

murderhobo

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

DM: The sad little orphan girl tugs at Steve's trenchcoat to get his attention, and ask for help saving her pet dog from...

Dave: I call dibs on the dog.
DM: You murderhobos disgust me.

Whale

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.

"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
