2024.05.24 00:36 yeoldgroudon [discussion] Post uni my life has been pretty bad but I’m not depressed like I use to be but stuck in a loop I need help

Long post
I finished uni a year ago studying a bachelors degree that was design and programming as well. So I did studio subjects like UX, UI, product design, data visualisation, web design, JavaScript coding, animation stuff like that pretty in demand stuff when I was studying it and there was heaps of jobs and a big demand for UX. I also did designathons assisted with PhD research in VR and more research. I worked hard and got high grades and ended up getting a strong portfolio together which my mentor currently said is better than some designers he knows. The only problem now is that the job market is terrible due to tech layoffs and no one is hiring due to a bad economy and over saturation of UX designers from boot camps.
I did have a final interview the other day for a large company that had over 1000 applicants for the role and I was one on the six to make it to the final round but sadly they hired other people because I lacked experience even though it was entry level and I was told to do an internship instead because they said it’s fast paced and think I’d struggle but they never seen me work and I don’t want an internship I want a job I’m nearly 25. Why does entry level need experience they said in the email they’ll teach you on the job. But I guess I’m alright to make it to the final six out of 1000 while only two were hired.
But there are no other jobs idk what to do, all the jobs are mid to senior level. It’s been a year and it looks like I’ll never get a job. I’ve applied for smaller jobs but didn’t even hear back.
So my life’s been a loop for the past year I get up walk my puppy then scroll on my phone all day. I have a mentor who’s given me a list to do to help but I haven’t even done that I feel like it’s pointless. I haven’t exercised in months or done any of my hobbies I just scroll on my phone in my room all day. I don’t even have the energy to place video games or eat normally my diet has gone to crap I barely even brush my teeth anymore.
I’m also feeling like a complete failure I’ve never been in a relationship at 24 and don’t have a career started yet. I’m so ugly I made a post on Reddit for plastic surgery but people said I don’t need it but I can’t believe them I feel like they’re lying trying to be nice and say my face isn’t asymmetrical when I was told I’m a 3/10 and need facial reconstruction surgery. I don’t want to go outside because I’m so ugly and deformed unlike everyone else. Someone called me an incel because I hate my face so much I wanted to die and self harm. What does that have to do with women that’s mean and hurts my feelings I’d never hate women. I don’t even want to do anything at all when I know I’m hideous
My parents are mad at me and say all I do is scroll on my phone and I should go back to uni and study something else or work in data entry or retail stocking shelves. People on Reddit said I should give up and I did a bullshit degree but they’re pretty in demand skills just the market sucks. I know a girl who’s been struggling for nearly 2 years. I’ve been to psychologists but none have been good one nearly fell asleep, one made weird assumptions and one dismissed my problems and said I have different problems. Only my psychiatrist helps
But I don’t feel depressed like I use to. Maybe burnt out and a bit disheartened that I worked so hard for nothing and been told to give up.
I currently have a part time job but that’s about it
Sorry for the long post but I’ve wasted a year pretty much in my bed on my phone. What can I do to fix it my family is mad at me for doing nothing and it’s not like I don’t want to do this. I’m 24 and so far behind in life my younger brothers friends have careers and travel. Am I lazy like they say or is there something wrong with me how to I find motivation to live again. My brothers are doing better than me with gfs and careers while I’m living at home with no future because of the job market
My laptop broke so I bought a MacBook Air but not getting it until next week so hopefully that helps
Sorry for the long post and if I sound whiny I’m just tired and struggling to improve no one’s helped only bend angry at me and making threats like threatening to financially drain me or kick me out because I’ve been struggling. I’m on medication been on it for years but now I’m in a slump i struggle to get out of. I can’t even surf anymore and I live near the beach. And I quit the gym I got a eating disorder from it so I don’t wanna go back
My puppy is all I have right now that’s keeping me active. I literally do nothing it’s almost midnight my sleep schedule is screwed and I haven’t even read a book in like a year I’m just so unmotivated by anything I don’t exercise, don’t eat well, don’t do hobbies, barley have energy to apply for jobs now I can’t do anything but my parents say I’m lazy which I probably am I guess but I never was lazy . I’m ugly and don’t have a career yet which I want, I want to start my life already
I have a lot of free time I should be enjoying it but I want a job
I’ve wasted my 20s

2024.05.24 00:34 Key-Lawyer-7586 How to choose what to do in life? (Let me know if you "disagree" with my answer)

Based on the fact that we are awareness and once we live with just being present or aware of thoughts when they come up, what then does a person do? I understand there is no wanting anymore because there is no attachment, identification or judgement with anything but we still exist on this earth and have to choose what to do whether it's meditating in the mountains free from human contact or building a business etc. How do you choose what to do even though it doesn't matter what you do and there is no egoic motivations to do anything (including needing the answer to this question)? I have watched videos of Eckhart Tolle talking about making decisions, intuitions and thoughts of what to do and to my understanding the causes to which actions and choices we take can either come from intuition from a deeper knowing or thoughts of what to do (does not matter from where the cause to actions come from since it does not change us or affect us as awareness). If i don't have that deep certainty of what to do next (which Tolle says come from an energetic balance of what to do next) then do I choose to do certain things instead of others just because I have thoughts that I think will make my life situation (which doesn't matter since it's not the now) better? For example, because "I think" (I don't think, thinking just happens) making more money will give me more freedom which thoughts tell me will improve "my" life situation on a human level then I do that, without any attachment to whether I achieve it or not, always being present in the process and enjoying it without it being a means to an end. This seems to be what Eckhart Tolle said here and here. In the first video he talks about moving away from a drunk person that sat next to him on a bus because that was "his preference". By preference I mean having/observing thoughts that prefer to be a life situation one way instead of another. However it did not matter if he moved or not because the thoughts that tell him to preferably move are not "him" (Eckhart Tolle) and "he is" just an aspect of awareness which isn't bothered by any preferences fulfilled or unfulfilled by thoughts telling "him" to move. So in the case that he couldn't move away from the drunk person, awareness would just observe any thoughts saying "move away from the drunk person" without giving them any power or just become present of the situation without any thoughts at all if they are not needed.

2024.05.24 00:30 BEANGREEN840 welcome to False reports

I created this community for people to talk about how broken social media is, and on how people get banned for no reason at all.
this is a free space to talk abt social media and False reports and bans.
I've reported people's content and doings in the past, and nothing happened to them, but alot of these platforms are ok to report and kick innocent content creators.
I've had my shit taken down and an acc warning for no reason, all for wearing a crop and a pajamas pants.
sometime this year I got bullying online, reported the guy, nothing happened to him, but my videos got taking down for no reason at all.
I see this happening to small content creators around the world, such as myself, being bullying and nothing happening, the matter needs to be spoken about and I don't see enough people bringing it up.
let's come together to talk more abt the matter, and stop this shut.

2024.05.24 00:26 Guilty-Scale-1079 If you ~can~ afford it, the subscription is a really important way to show your appreciation.

I've been reflecting on this thought today. I've been a fan of the guys since the Buzzfeed days. They have given me 10 years worth of laughs, smiles, and sometimes happy tears. Admittedly, I have watched the channel less over the past 18 months because the content hasn't caught my attention as much recently (there is so much media to consume, on YouTube alone, and it's normal for your interests to change as you age). But I've stayed engaging with their content because the TG have given so much to me: during the pandemic, I was especially isolated, and I'd put on their videos to listen to familiar voices to feel less alone.
I've watched hundreds (if not, thousands) of hours of their channel. For free.
All for free.
It's very peculiar to me that fans are complaining about paying $30-50 (PER YEAR in the US) to support the content, when this company has cultivated a community for almost 10 years.
I think the structure of YouTube has created some sense of expectation of----dare I say, entitlement to----quality content, without the viewer having to spend a dime. When you go to see a movie, you pay 10+ to see a single show. Heck, a cup of coffee nowadays is practically $5 per cup! I understand adding another subscription is a pain... but the suggestion that "$30 a year is ludicrous" is ludicrous itself.
The point I'm trying to make: if you truly have the means, spending the money on this subscription is the most important way you can support them in this transition. I for a fact believe that the company is worth $30 a year, at minimum. And I hope people are feeling the same way.

2024.05.24 00:26 g3thic [F4A][Literate] Roleplay Search!

Hello again! I’m not sure if you’ve seen my other posts about a fandom roleplay but this one is gonna be about any roleplay in general, fandoms included. This’ll be pretty detailed and I’ll let you know the parts if you want to skip ahead (I suggest you don’t). If you don’t wanna read all of this, then don’t. This was made for people willing to read blocks of paragraphs and maybe even respond with their own.
INTRODUCTION
My name is Hina. To know more about me, I hail from Japan and I have been an avid writer ever since I moved to the States when I was 11. My second language is English but I believe it’s been pretty good. I recently turned 22 years old and I'm female. Talking about age, I would be comfortable with you being 17+ and preferably at least 20. Roleplaying with minors isn’t a big thing for me, I apologize. I’m in the west coast, PST timezone. Let’s see.. What other information can I give you? I would say I enjoy skating, basketball, watching tv shows and anime, and reading. My favorite anime is Nana and Death Note.
GENRES + FANDOM
I am not looking for a specific roleplay. I would say i’m skilled in all genres. Sci-fi, fantasy, horror, apocalypse. All of that. Even slice of life, though that depends on what type of plot exactly. To be more specific on each genre, starting off with fantasy, I'm more used to high fantasy and mythology. I’m not that great with medieval, unfortunately. DnD based role plays aren’t really fit for me and I struggle playing with species like ogres. Just putting that out here. For fantasy, I don’t have any specific ideas.
Sci-fi is the genre I have more skill in. Most of my roleplays are based off of them! Specifically, I’m fine with all subgenres of that.
For other genres like horror and apocalypse, I do have some taste. I really like monsters and creepy things from the horror genre like vampires and all of that and I even have my own idea set up in older times dealing with vampire lords and hunters and all of that. I also enjoy eldritch type horror. I also like that one sun genre of it, like video game horror? I’m not sure how to describe it. I also forgot if it even has an official name or if it’s just something used to describe the horror genre. I like Resident Evil, so maybe that’ll tell you the type of horror I usually enjoy. I do have a developed idea of something more eldritch horror.
More on fandoms! To get some other things down, I usually only play OC unless the character you want me to play is one I know more about and I'm more comfortable playing. The fandoms I like in the more anime way are Jojo’s, Nana, Death Note, JJK, AOT, Haikyuu, and probably more. I’m well versed in the Jojo’s, Aot, and JJK fandoms but less knowledgeable on Death Note since i’ve only seen it once. Other fandoms i’m in include ATLA, TLOK, Harry Potter, Resident Evil, Marvel, DC, and many more.
CHARACTERS
I tend to use character sheets to describe my character, these usually consist of names, background, and personality. More so on appearances, I prefer using animated or drawn references than real life people. I enjoy good enough references where I get the idea of how the character would look like.
The types of characters I write are either the lone wolf type that has some sad past which leads them to want to join someone for a redemption arc or the bubbly character who is the one that brings the mood up and is usually seen as trustworthy and of that kind.
I like all types of tropes, especially enemies to lovers or rivalry. I also really enjoy opposites attract as a whole from either opposite personality or something else they would be opposites in. Enemies to lovers takes my heart, though. I love seeing the characters go past the urge to ultimately hate each other and/or go past their usual way of disliking the others lineage or upcoming.
REQUIREMENT
I think this is my last paragraph on the roleplay. It’s the most important, at least. Requirements. All roleplay searches come with them. Or at least that’s what I heard! But don’t fret, there isn’t much.
I’ve seen this as one of the most used requirements, and I agree with it. As someone who’s first language wasn’t English, I understand that you may not be great at it. But please, I do require a partner that at least has proper use of grammar and punctuation. You don’t even have to use big words or anything, just at least know where to put your periods and the placement of your words.
My second requirement is for you to be LITERATE! Please. I’m a big writer, I tend to ramble on and tend to write more than what I thought I would. (like i’m doing right now) I write multiple paragraphs from the starter until the scene relaxes. I also understand that sometimes writing big blocks of words every response is tiring or boring so I don’t expect it all the time, at least after the starter has been made and in more important scenes. Dialogue also cuts my replies shorter.
Please please please be polite in OOC! We may just be role playing together but kindness goes all ways. If we do include OOC, I enjoy talking about many things. My day, movies, games, funny moments and stories, all of that!
I think that’s the end to this wonderful journey of an ad about my search. I hope you are still here, fellow writer! I would LOVE it if you reached out to me! This wasn’t all for nothing, right!
But don’t leave yet! I do have a passcode. I know this was a jumble of words and rambling but I still have to put one in. I heard that there’s a lot of people on here that don’t read things fully and miss out on rules or information! But.. Just because you read through this all, I’ll gladly give you options on the passcode! Also please put in an introduction of yourself! Don’t think “Oh maybe I shouldn’t bother this person with too much to read”! I like seeing big blocks.
PASSCODE:
What’s your dream country to travel to and why?
OR
Who’s your favorite TV show / Cartoon / Game / Anime character?
Feel free to pick both! Now, that’s all from me. Please don’t put your request as just “Wanna rp”!

2024.05.24 00:23 weareallgonnadie70 My mom. (Sorry, I need to vent)

If you read this, thank you in advance.
I'm the third one of 5 siblings. I've been taking care of both my parents since 2016 till my dad passed away at 90 y.o. during the pandemic. A year before it, my older sister also passed away, which was a big blow for my parents. Now it's mom and me. Younger brother lives close, but won't even call mom to check how she's doing. Younger sister lives in another country and tries to be in touch through video calls, but most of the times mom is not in the mood or something happens. My older brother takes care of all the paperwork and makes sure all bills get paid and tries to come see her after work a couple of times during the week. Since January, after my mom needed surgery (colostomy), I have a live-in nurse, 5 days a week.
The main thing is that I never got along very well with my mom. I realized life was getting harder for my parents, some kind of accident was bound to happen any day (kettle on the fire, open gas, falls, you name it) so as I was single, I decided to move in with them. I was renting at that time, but between my job (+12 hours/day Tuesday thru Sunday, plus every other Monday) and getting groceries, cooking and keeping company to my parents, I barely spent time in my place. It was like a big and expensive storage unit.
For a while it was ok. I wasn't home a lot, they had someone who "helped" with the house chores (and managed to steal a lot of stuff in the meantime) and they didn't need assistance to walk, bathe and we're pretty independent. That was till they discovered the "help" was stealing and she resigned (after blaming me for stealing?).
Then the pandemic had us all locked up at home and my dad started to decline fast. So basically, it was just mom and me watching him going down at a very fast pace. He would come and go to and from the hospital several times during that process and once he didn't return.
The next day of my dad's passing, I was called back to go to work. And that's when this all started. My mom (about to turn 92 now) started calling me on the phone several times a day, asking me to return home, which I couldn't till my shift was over. That went on for about a year. I had the chance to retire with 30 years of service and at the (sort of) young age of 51. All was good for a couple of months. But my mom has always been a bit controlling and she demands that I tell her everything I'm doing. She sees me walking into the kitchen and she asks Where are you going? I go to the bathroom? She wants to know what for. I admit sometimes I don't answer properly. What am I supposed to say when she asks me what I'm going to do in the bathroom?
If I tell her I'll go get some groceries, when I return, she's pissed off because I took too long. The shop is around the corner, so the longest it takes me is 15 minutes, if it's crowded. My social interactions are when I go out for groceries or meds. If I went out for a coffee (God forbid!) she wanted to know where I'd be, with whom, how long it'd take... Maddening!! I told her that after being on this planet for more than half a century, I deserved some space for myself, without needing my mom's permission to breathe. She went on pestering me, so I stopped going out almost completely.
But that's not the problem. Like I said, we never got along very well. So when I didn't live with her 24/7/365, I could tolerate her criticism. I would laugh it off and leave. But now it seems that she's determined to break me. Nothing I do is good enough, everything could be improved. She keeps finding new ways to humiliate me and make me feel stupid. Some days I don't mind, but others I just can't take it and blow out. She's mean on purpose. She says nasty things and keeps going till I leave the room. Then she's satisfied and joyfully says: "Oh! That bothered you? Come on! I was joking!". Why is she doing that? Jealousy. Because she thinks I took better care of my dad. But he was almost blind, almost deaf, bedridden and had trouble swallowing, so all his meals needed to be prepared very carefully.
Except for the colostomy, mom's health is better than mine. She has no dietary restrictions, her heart works great, no lung issues, nothing. Before the colostomy she was independent. Now she refuses to walk. And yes, she can do it when she wants. It's just that she doesn't want to get better. She said that if she does, she won't have the attention she's getting now.
She knows I had plans for my retirement years, but she told me she's entitled to my company since " You don't have a life like your siblings". I know, for some people the only life worth living is if you have a family. I chose to be alone. But I don't think I should be punished for my life choices.
Anyway, despite her being so judgemental, I don't neglect her. Each time I go out, I get her something she'd like. Chocolates, sweets, pastries, whatever I know she enjoys. She says she'd like to have something, before the week is gone, she gets whatever she asks for and she's happy, at least for a few moments... But of course, once she has it, she doesn't want it anymore. And wants something else. I cook whatever she asks me to prepare. I thonestly try my best to have her happy. But I feel it's useless. She always finds something to complain.
Having to clean her and change the colostomy bag doesn't bother me. I did it for my dad, so it's fine. Anyway it's only a couple of days a week now. I'm ok with it. What drives me nuts is the neverending nagging. I told her that if she keeps bothering me, I'll leave and she knows that my brothers won't give up their lives to come live with her and she'll end up in a nursing home. I've talked to my brothers and they tell me to be "more!" patient and to brush off what she says. Yeah! Easy when they don't have to deal with it 24/7. They don't come and stay with her for a few hours when they're free. They just make a short visit and leave. And I just want to scream when I hear them telling me to "be more patient".
I'm absolutely worn out, depressed, overwhelmed, angry and defeated. Why do I stay? Because the other option is a nursing home and she won't last long there.
Sometimes I think that I should just pack my bags and let things happen.
I know I made a mistake when I moved back with them. But I was spending so much time here, that it seemed the natural thing to do. Wrong! I'm a loner. I've always been independent. If I wanted to travel, I would just pack and leave. I enjoy being by myself and not talking to anyone for several days, and having to live with someone permanently and taking care of their needs is like Hell.
Now I feel like I'm stuck here and there's not much I can do without jeopardizing my mom's last years. But I don't know how long I'll be able to live like this. Each day I feel more drained and hopeless.
Sorry, it's too long, but I needed to get this out. Thanks for reading.

2024.05.24 00:20 yeoldgroudon Post uni my life has been pretty bad but I’m not depressed like I use to be but stuck in a loop I need help

I finished uni a year ago studying a bachelors degree that was design and programming as well. So I did studio subjects like UX, UI, product design, data visualisation, web design, JavaScript coding, animation stuff like that pretty in demand stuff when I was studying it and there was heaps of jobs and a big demand for UX. I also did designathons assisted with PhD research in VR and more research. I worked hard and got high grades and ended up getting a strong portfolio together which my mentor currently said is better than some designers he knows. The only problem now is that the job market is terrible due to tech layoffs and no one is hiring due to a bad economy and over saturation of UX designers from boot camps.
I did have a final interview the other day for a large company that had over 1000 applicants for the role and I was one on the six to make it to the final round but sadly they hired other people because I lacked experience even though it was entry level and I was told to do an internship instead because they said it’s fast paced and think I’d struggle but they never seen me work and I don’t want an internship I want a job I’m nearly 25. Why does entry level need experience they said in the email they’ll teach you on the job. But I guess I’m alright to make it to the final six out of 1000 while only two were hired.
But there are no other jobs idk what to do, all the jobs are mid to senior level. It’s been a year and it looks like I’ll never get a job. I’ve applied for smaller jobs but didn’t even hear back.
So my life’s been a loop for the past year I get up walk my puppy then scroll on my phone all day. I have a mentor who’s given me a list to do to help but I haven’t even done that I feel like it’s pointless. I haven’t exercised in months or done any of my hobbies I just scroll on my phone in my room all day. I don’t even have the energy to place video games or eat normally my diet has gone to crap I barely even brush my teeth anymore.
I’m also feeling like a complete failure I’ve never been in a relationship at 24 and don’t have a career started yet. I’m so ugly I made a post on Reddit for plastic surgery but people said I don’t need it but I can’t believe them I feel like they’re lying trying to be nice and say my face isn’t asymmetrical when I was told I’m a 3/10 and need facial reconstruction surgery. I don’t want to go outside because I’m so ugly and deformed unlike everyone else. Someone called me an incel because I hate my face so much I wanted to die and self harm. What does that have to do with women that’s mean and hurts my feelings I’d never hate women. I don’t even want to do anything at all when I know I’m hideous
My parents are mad at me and say all I do is scroll on my phone and I should go back to uni and study something else or work in data entry or retail stocking shelves. People on Reddit said I should give up and I did a bullshit degree but they’re pretty in demand skills just the market sucks. I know a girl who’s been struggling for nearly 2 years. I’ve been to psychologists but none have been good one nearly fell asleep, one made weird assumptions and one dismissed my problems and said I have different problems. Only my psychiatrist helps
But I don’t feel depressed like I use to. Maybe burnt out and a bit disheartened that I worked so hard for nothing and been told to give up.
I currently have a part time job but that’s about it
Sorry for the long post but I’ve wasted a year pretty much in my bed on my phone. What can I do to fix it my family is mad at me for doing nothing and it’s not like I don’t want to do this. I’m 24 and so far behind in life my younger brothers friends have careers and travel. Am I lazy like they say or is there something wrong with me how to I find motivation to live again. My brothers are doing better than me with gfs and careers while I’m living at home with no future because of the job market
My laptop broke so I bought a MacBook Air but not getting it until next week so hopefully that helps
Sorry for the long post and if I sound whiny I’m just tired and struggling to improve no one’s helped only bend angry at me and making threats like threatening to financially drain me or kick me out because I’ve been struggling. I’m on medication been on it for years but now I’m in a slump i struggle to get out of. I can’t even surf anymore and I live near the beach. And I quit the gym I got a eating disorder from it so I don’t wanna go back
My puppy is all I have right now that’s keeping me active. I literally do nothing it’s almost midnight my sleep schedule is screwed and I haven’t even read a book in like a year I’m just so unmotivated by anything I don’t exercise, don’t eat well, don’t do hobbies, barley have energy to apply for jobs now I can’t do anything but my parents say I’m lazy which I probably am I guess but I never was lazy . I’m ugly and don’t have a career yet which I want, I want to start my life already
I have a lot of free time I should be enjoying it but I want a job
I’ve wasted my 20s

2024.05.24 00:15 FamiliarDirt7360 Best online somatic therapy/exercises?

I've worked with a few therapists throughout my life, but the most useful one I ever saw did somatic work with me. She'd have me identify where I was feeling my emotions when I'd get overwhelmed during a session and would talk me through identifying the feeling, how it felt in my body, and how to breathe/process it. To this day, this has been the most useful thing for my anxiety.
Unfortunately, as most everyone can likely relate, I could not afford her for long. Are there any good somatic videos/therapists that I could follow for free or cheap online that y'all have tried? Even somatic yoga? I've tried a few of the latter on my own but I never felt the same effect so maybe I'm finding the wrong videos.

2024.05.24 00:11 Lion_King_91 32 [M4F] California/Anywhere/Online - Nerdy Guy looking for a Nerdy Girl

Hi there. 32 M here, from Central California, specifically the Merced area. I'm looking for someone to talk to and get to know. I'm up for a one time thing, or more if we click.
A bit about me: I'm 5'10, black hair, brown eyes, chubby. I work as a teacher. In my spare time I like to read comic books, watch movies, anime, sports, pro wrestling, and/or play video games. I bought a house 2 years ago and even now I'm still trying to fill it lol
I'm down to chat with any woman 18+. Shared interests certainly are nice, but I'm always down to hear some or yours that may be different from my own. Feel free to message me some time if you're interested in talking.
Have a nice day!

2024.05.24 00:11 ethnasdr This will help you (My thoughts)

"The raw reality is over." The days when using words like raw or extreme in your video title are dead. Face-to-face/personal videos or "raw" are slowly fading away. When everyone starts to do it the words in your title become oversaturated unless you deliver in your video. In the business niche, Sander Stage was one of the first ones to go viral with the "raw reality of making 500k per month" and he used lateral thinking from Sam Sulek's videos and put the same concepts in the business social media industry. There is a mini-war between the shorts addicts and the people who watch long-form and from what I can tell shorts capture the most amount of attention on YouTube. People who watch long-form videos tend to watch long form and the same for people who watch shorts. If you want to stand out from the rest of the people who want to grow on social media you have to do volume and always stick to your core message/theme. Another thing that I noticed is that big people in the make money online/business space like Alex Hormozi and Joel Kaplan are slightly doing more selling in their videos compared to previously in the past. In one of Hormozi's latest videos, he plugged Skool and mentioned his investment more than he had in the previous videos. The same for Joel Kaplan for a long time he was giving away free advice for the majority of his videos and dropped his new program. Look I'm not hating on Hormozi or Kaplan, I am just observing from what I saw. I highly recommend listening to both of them. If you like these, please let me know. All comments are welcome. (pardon my yap lol)

2024.05.24 00:10 Nick180777 Veiled Eyes 2

It's been 2 days, so I think it's time for part 2- it's gonna be short. Don't wanna ruin my sleep schedule It's messed up already as it is, but we won't mention that.
I wanna take a moment to thank all of you reading this, I was honestly surprised at how well this was received. So thank you!
Lastly, all love to for having made such an amazing universe.
===---===
Memory Transcription Subject: Alan Voor-hein, UN Secretary-General.
Date [Standardized Human Time]: January 1st, 2300, 12:00
It's 12:00, and the meeting is about to begin. I had only arrived like 30 minutes ago, and took the remainder of my time to grab a quick bite (as I was unable too back home in my rush) and to freshen myself up a little. I only had gotten into my seat just a mere 10 minutes ago- and over the course of those 10 minutes, I was joined by various Diplomatic and Military advisors.
I was seated across the room from the door, having a chair at the far-middle-end of the circular table. Above me, as usual, was the symbol of the UN. The Symbol of the peacekeepers, the symbol of hope and peace. Underneath it, there was a smaller symbol, that smaller symbol replaced Earth with a Star symbol. This was done in order to placate the Colonies we have sprinkled around the Solar System. After all, the UN was now no longer just an Earth bound organization- hasn't been for a while now. So it felt fitting to slowly move over towards a newer and more relevant Symbol. On Earth we still use the Earth having logo, while on our colonies we use the Star having one.
To my right was the seat for General (John) Remau, an elderly French descending man at 60 years old. Short prickly grey hair, and a mustache to accompany him. Blue eyes. His experience is mostly based on Counter-Terror actions. But by the Gods, he is good at his job. He is the "tough yet caring" father type of guy, even the men he used to command gave him he nickname of "Father John".
To my left is the seat of Minister (Ayumi) Kamura, a younger Japanese lass, 27 years old. One of the youngest people in the room, and yet one of the most capable in her duties as Minister of Diplomatic Affairs. Long flowing black hair. Brown eyes. She started as an Intern roughly a year and a half ago, under me. Shy at first, but she quickly managed to move up thanks to her charm and intellect, and I offered her the job of MDA. And she has been killing it ever since.
These 2 are my most trusted advisors in their own field of expertise. There are many more seated in the room now, but these 2 are the ones I am on a first-name basis with.
And now.... time for the meeting.
...
There was a slight chaos among the entourage of advisors. None of them had any idea why this meeting was called, only my two trusted seconds had gotten messages with the most relevant details about all of the happenings surrounding the discovery. Gotta love the quick work of AI. Once everyone had sat down on their allocated seats, I stood up, all eyes glued to me, and began speaking.
"All of you may be wondering why I called you all here today. Earlier today, in the early morning hours, the drone we had ordered to be sent into the void...-" I took a second to think on how to actually bring this news to the others, but I knew there was no dancing around the issue. "- The drone has encountered Alien life."
The second those words left my mouth, the room erupted into whispering murmurs, some thinking it was a lie, other's in a show of disbelieve.
I began speaking again, not giving them anytime to start asking questions. "The drone arrived onto this new star system at 10:15, and it initiated it's automated surveying. It already detected something "grey-ish" above a tidally locked planet. At 10:35, the drone went into it's Warning signal mode, the drone went into Cloak and began sending details about it's discovery. The drone had laid it's eyes on an orbiting space-station."
While I was speaking, John, our General, was having his own conversation over the phone with- who I assume, is one of his goons. John said something along the lines of, "Alright. I'll tell 'em.", before taking a look at me and interrupting me in my speech. "Sir, with all due respect, I have just received a call from one of my guys, who I had put on it after I had gotten the AI's message. And uh.. I think this is interesting for all to see."
"Very well. -" I said, pressing the button in the table in front of me, lowering a screen from the ceiling of the room. The screen covered the southern wall of the room, opposite of me. "- Have the room, General."
"Thank you Sir." John walked up to the screen, scanning his badge on the nearby security system which was connected to the screen, it auto-logged John in. John proceeded into his classified filed stash, and pulled up a newly made folder labeled "Unknowns".
The first thing John showed on the screen was a picture taken by the drone, the picture that showed the drone spotting the weird "grey" blob above the planet, followed by a picture closer to the blob, clearly showing it to be a space-station of some kind. "This here, gentlemen and women-" John began with, "-is what this meeting is about. Here is the undeniable proof for all you naysayers in the crowd."
The ones who had more doubtful looks on their faces before, looked on now with curiosity.
"And the newest details I have gotten-" John went on, "-can be seen right here." John pulled up a video the drone recorded. The video showed the drone moving at insane speeds towards the orbit of this planet, which was shown to be quite earth-like, moving past the Station quickly. The drone was starting to slow itself down rapidly as it reached into the atmosphere of the planet. The drone hovered for a moment before resuming it's move.
Our lovely drone stayed as high as it possibly could, while not breaking sight of the ground in a clear camera view. It rapidly moved towards what looked to be a small rural town of sorts. The drone halted it's flight dead in the center of the sky, high in the air above the town, turning it's camera downwards and zooming in even further for more of a clear view of the town.
As it slowly zoomed in, smaller dots appeared on the screen. You wouldn't have to be a rocket scientist to tell that those would, most likely, be the natives of this planet, moving about in their daily life- however they may live it. It still wasn't clear how these Aliens looked like. The drone elevated itself lower, and kept zooming in more.
Once the drone's camera had fully zoomed in, we could finally make out what these Aliens looked liked...
...
...
Question began flowing through my mind. Fur- Knock-kneed hind-legs too? Are these not the natives, are these just their version of ...a Sheep?? If so, where are the actual natives... why would they let their cattle run around freely?
... There has to be natives on the planet.
The drone went on and on, going from town to town, and in all towns it was the same sight. These "sheep" walking around, and doing their own things. To say I was dumbfounded would be an understatement. Guess these ARE the natives of the planet then.
John spoke up again after closing the video- "As you can see, Gents. We've come across an Alien civilization. That's why we're here. - Sir, the floor is yours again." John nodded at me and sat back down at his seat.
...
Straight to the point like always, aren't we John?- "Right- .. Now, as General Remau has stated, we have encountered an Alien space going civilization. It's up to us to come up with a strategy on how to deal with this, and how we'll proceed from here."
The flock of advisors all looked at each-other, either not knowing what to say, or refusing to say anything on it - like always.
I spoke up again. "I propose a few options on how to proceed, we'll discuss all of them, and decide on the eventual future proceeding on this issue. We have a few options to choose from.
  1. We'll spy on the native of this planet, try to find enough intelligence as we are able too, while also ramping up our military production tenfold, as we do not know if these aliens are friend or foe.
  2. Isolate ourselves, and stay clear of them. Letting them live their lives, and hope they let us live ours.
  3. Opening up communications right away, and see if we can befriend them.
The floor is now open to voting, click the link on your pads which you receive-" the sound of multiple pads receiving a notification can be heard-, "- now, and vote which option YOU think we'll have to go with. Understood?"
Everyone nodded, and the voting commenced as it always would. Unlike most situations, now the voting seemed to take longer, as everyone was truly thinking of all possible scenarios. One's we are all familiar with.
...
After 5 minutes the voting concluded, and the result were shown on the screen. 78% voted for option 1. Spying and intelligence gathering it is.
"Thank you all for voting. I, Kamura and Remau shall continue speaking on the best course of action regarding option 1. You're all dismissed. Keep in mind, this will be kept secret until we say so, understood?" Everyone in the room nodded once again- and began gathering their stuff to leave.
John and Ayumi walked over to me, and the 3 of us waited for the room to clear out of all occupants- apart from us. Once everyone left the room, the door locked itself shut. Allowing the three of us to speak undisturbed.
...
"Well, that's over-" John grumbled.
"You can say that again- I hate meetings as much as you do." I retorted back at him, giving a slight chuckle.
Ayumi perked up, "Come on guys, it wasn't that bad-"
"For you, yeah. You love 'em." I told her as I looked right at her. "They're like a party for you"
"That's not entirely true! .... for the most part-" She clapped back.
I gave her a smile. "Sure... back to the topic at hand- the best way to gather as much info on these sheep-ish people as possible. I propose sending more drones to the planet."
John let his own mind run with an idea, "What if we send one of our own guys to the planet with Cloaking armor, so he or she can do some ground work. See how they live, how they act, all that stuff."
"Wouldn't that cause political backlash?-" Ayumi spoke out in protest "-I mean.. sure, they will be cloaked, but what if they are discovered? We know nothing about their technology. For all we know, they surpass us in all fronts. Why not sent a "diplomatic" mission or somethi-"
"That's not going to work, Ayumi" I said, interrupting her. "-We can't let them know of our presence... yet..."
...
Minutes went by as we continued speaking on this- the three of us eventually decided on just sending a couple drone to the planet, and letting them do the work. Some drones would also be carrying probe droids. Tiny ones which can be hidden among furniture even, and the smallest cracks.
We are also going to increase our military spending and development. An order of 8K more ships will be placed later today- ... I honestly can't wait to get home soon. Just an hour more of chatting with these 2 nut cases- and I'm free. ... love 'em though.
...

Sorry for it being short, as said, gotta think of me sleep bois!

2024.05.24 00:08 ethnasdr The Raw Reality is over (My thoughts)

"The raw reality is over." The days when using words like raw or extreme in your video title are dead. Face-to-face/personal videos or "raw" are slowly fading away. When everyone starts to do it the words in your title become oversaturated and do not perform unless you innovate and deliver in your video. In the business niche, Sander Stage was one of the first ones to go viral with the "raw reality of making 500k per month" and he used lateral thinking from Sam Sulek's videos and put the same concepts in the business social media industry. There is a mini-war between the shorts addicts and the people who watch long-form and from what I can tell shorts capture the most amount of attention on YouTube. People who watch long-form videos tend to watch long form and the same for people who watch shorts. If you want to stand out from the rest of the people who want to grow on social media you have to do volume and always stick to your core message/theme. Another thing that I noticed is that big people in the make money online/business space like Alex Hormozi and Joel Kaplan are slightly doing more selling in their videos compared to previously in the past. In one of Hormozi's latest videos, he plugged Skool and mentioned his investment more than he had in the previous videos. The same for Joel Kaplan for a long time he was giving away free advice for the majority of his videos and dropped his new program. Look I'm not hating on Hormozi or Kaplan, I am just observing from what I saw. I highly recommend listening to both of them. If you like these, please let me know. All comments are welcome. (pardon my yap lol)
