I won't disclose its actual location, so if that's why you're here, sorry to disappoint. It's not time for that yet. However, I do think it's time to start getting the word out. I've noticed an increase in what I'll call "Antennas" lately, or people who can detect cross-planar phase shifts. Without getting into all the math (some of which I don't even know), this is basically a phenomenon which refers to entropy seeping into our universe from other realms or universes or whatever you want to call it. Simply put, people think our universe is a closed system to entropy, meaning that the disorder of any variable in our universe can only increase or decrease in direct proportion to other variables in that same system (the universe). Under this precept, we can establish rules like the Laws of Thermodynamics, and for most people, they're effective. But not for Antennas.
Put another way, if you throw a bunch of bouncy balls into a box, there are a number of different configurations that the balls could take on, with different speeds and magnitudes. You can calculate all of those if you have the right numbers. Now let's say you throw in another set of balls that you don't consider in your calculations of the initial set. Well, then you're not going to get an accurate picture of what's happening. Most people only see the first set and calculate based on that, but some people can see two, three, four or more sets.
You'll understand the concept better when I tell you the story, but I wanted to give you a primer on an important concept that will help you understand why this place, which I'll call "Area X", exists, and what the goals of the people who work there are.
Also note that I'm going to be using the alias "Trent" moving forward. Please refer to me as such in any direct messages.

Eighteen years ago I started working as an independent Home Inspector. I dropped out of community college after my first semester (not because I didn't find some of the subjects interesting, but because deference to a man or woman has never been my style) and started working some odd jobs. I did construction work for a couple years, then plumbing. I even drove a garbage truck for six months. I've always found pleasure in using my hands, and getting dirty was never a problem for me. Still, having a boss really dragged ass, so I spent my free time working on creating my own business. It took a few years and lots of savings, but I finally managed to get basic set of Home Inspection equipment: Tyvek coveralls, a cheap half-face respirator, voltage & AFCI/GFCI testers, CO2 and radon monitors, an IR camera, and telescoping mirrors in addition to the boots, safety glasses, electric gloves, ladder, and toolkits I already had on hand.
My buddy at the time was in the business, but he was moving off to the coast, so he helped me get set up and even introduced me to some of his clients. Of course, by that time I had already gotten my State license, but I still was a bit apprehensive to work with insurance agencies. I thought I could make a living working independently, inspecting for mold or sizing up a house for a prospective buyer. Eventually, though, I realized I should probably take every job available to me.
Easing into the business went about as well as it could have. The clients my friend referred to me were very satisfied with my work, and I was able to retain them. Then, in order to increase my reach, I hired someone on Fiverr to build a website for my company which led to a marked increase in traffic and conversions. About six months through, I began to get on a first-name basis with the boys and girls down down at Allstate and Progressive, and they fed me some of the bigger cases. In fact, I got so booked by year's end that I had to hire someone to help manage my schedule and the Excel spreadsheet with all my finances. I capped off a successful year with a 5-star Google rating and a trip to Ireland to visit some family and friends and get piss drunk. When I got back, it was the grindstone all over again, until the summer when I discovered… well, you'll see.
First off, I want to say that I was never one to believe in the paranormal. I grew up watching the movies and hearing the ghost stories round the campfire like every other kid, but it never struck a chord with me. If I can't touch it or see it or hear it, does it really exist? Probably not. So don't go thinking this was a scared man seeing his own shadow. That being said, I had this sense that something was off about this house when I parked along the curb and looked through a large window, perhaps two times the size of my van, to a dingy, dark foyer.
The entire neighborhood was stacked with upper-middle class domiciles, though it seemed like only two thirds of them were occupied, mostly by professionals who commuted to the City every weekday, and the rest were empty. As a man who understands real estate, to say this was strange would be an understatement. Still, I had no problem appraising the mini-mansion for a couple of newlyweds looking to enter the community. I did some research on the property ahead of time, and it seems that it was owned by a couple of old timers who had gone off the grid some time ago. The water and electric bill were both unpaid dating back to 2004 (it was June of '06 now). The bank had repo'd the house (which only had about 100k left on it) and held it for a year and a half before putting it back on the market. I tried to find out more about the old couple who vanished, but there was nothing in the news.
I stepped out of the van in my coveralls and grabbed my suitcase which had my mask, gloves, and eye protection in it. I liked to do a preliminary survey first, running an eye test on the exterior then interior before bringing out the big guns (that way I could identify the areas where I think there could be problems instead of running a metal detector over the whole damn ocean seaboard). I was about to do just that when the window caught my eye again. It felt uncharacteristic of me to be so occupied with this window, but I detoured to the front porch and peeked inside anyway.
Most of the furniture had already been moved out, meaning all that was left was a single three-seater couch, a couple candlesticks on the fireplace mantle, a pristine chandelier overtop a dining room table, and the kitchenware: an oven, gas stovetop, marble countertops, and an island. I could see into the living room very clearly with the afternoon light, but the dining room was dim enough that there were a few structures I couldn't quite make out in the distance. One of them appeared to be some kind of china cabinet or bookshelf—I figured it was the former considering where it was located. The other shadow looked kind of like a grandfather clock. Or at least that's what I thought until it moved.
When I say it "moved", I don't mean to say that it picked up and walked away. If you're not familiar with the Necker Cube, I suggest you search it up, because that kind of illusion is the best way to describe what I saw. At first I was seeing the grandfather clock in a certain way—pushed into the corner of the room—and the next second my vision "corrected" and it was maybe five feet to the left of its former position. I shook my head and looked again and saw the grandfather clock in its second orientation, standing in the center of the room against the wall. I figured I was just seeing things, but even so I spent a little extra time dawdling around the Egress window, taking notes, and delaying the interior inspection.
When I finally grew a pair and went inside, I walked straight to the dining room. Sure enough, the grandfather clock was stowed away in the corner of the room. I spent a couple minutes watching it with my pencil and travel notebook out. I'm the kind of guy that likes to collect hard data when the chips are down. Unfortunately, the clock apparently already had enough fun and was content with sweating me. Oh, well.
I fitted my pencil behind my ear and pocketed my travel notebook, then flipped the rest of the first floor lights on and completed my prelim. I concluded that everything was pretty standard. If anything, the house was in better shape than I'd expect considering it presumably hasn't been lived in for a couple years. I say "presumably" because one can never count out squatters, even during those times. Mainly I was expecting more dust build up and cobwebs than there were. Perhaps someone from the department had come by recently. It's unlikely, but possible.
I did the same check upstairs and it came back mostly clean. There was a bit of staining near the attic I wanted to check for mold. Based on its color, it was probably just a minor case of Aspergillus, but better safe than sorry. Then I got to the basement, and, well, let's just count out the idea of anyone dropping by. I don't know what I was expecting, but it certainly wasn't what I found.
The first thing that caught my eye was the long, slender body of a birch tree lying pale and dead across a large portion of the even larger unfinished basement's cement flooring. I had to do a double take to make sure I wasn't dreaming, but, yep, there it was. Its crown was sealed up in the wall with only its trunk hanging out, which made me think of those medieval pillory devices which locked up people's heads and arms. Then confetti-scattered around the tree and all over the basement floor was a minefield of broken glass and ceramic tangled up with a set of random objects. And when I say random, I mean random. There was an unfurled Somali flag (the blue one with a single star in the center), some packaged drinks and condiments branded with all sorts of different languages (I could only make out Gaelic and Chinese or Japanese, I couldn't quite tell), a broken dome-shaped security camera, an otoscope (the thing the doc uses to check your ears), Hot Wheels cars (okay that one isn't so strange), and the list goes on.
At that moment, I wasn't freaked out or disgusted. I was more or less just confused. I started walking through the rubble, trying to avoid the sharp fragments but pretty confident that my steel toed boots would crush most the pieces anyway, when I heard a clink just up ahead. I was able to spot the coin in time, just before it jingled to a halt atop an old Life magazine. I picked it up and noted right away its oval shape and bronze color—clearly not American made. I tried reading it, but not only was the language not English, it appeared to be so old that most of the lettering had been filed down. I looked up at the ceiling to see if it dropped from a shelf, but there was nothing that could have been holding the coin. I considered for a moment, looking around at the other junk, and had the crazy idea that maybe all this stuff just appeared here. I popped the coin in my pocket and headed back to the van when I stopped by the tree and realized something. It wasn't a birch tree—it was a palm tree. I just didn't realize because of how ashy and decayed the bark was.
Now at this point you might think I've been acting a little nonchalant for such a strange occurrence, and I don't blame you, but if you're gonna stick around with me that's just something you're gonna have to get used to. I guess I was just born with a screw loose, but I really don't scare easily, and I tend to look at everything pragmatically. If you dig deep enough, you'll always find another plausible explanation. That being said, I do want to get to the part about Area X, so let me give you the rundown on what I learned about this basement.
I ended up trekking back to the van and picking up my gear. I was no longer running the routine inspection, obviously, but I figured I might as well throw 30 thousand dollars of scanning equipment at whatever the fuck anamoly existed in that basement. Most of it came back negative. There was a bit higher-than-usual EM interference as picked up on the voltmeters, but nothing that screamed danger close. Still, it was enough for me to set up my volt testers and IR camera while muddling through the rest of the junk. I won't bore you with another list of items, but I did find one thing of value: a diamond necklace. And not just any diamond necklace, it was one of those Queen-wearing, multi-row, big-jeweled necklaces like out of some Historical Fiction movie from the thirties. I almost didn't pocket it because I'm used to expensive items being owned by someone… someone who might want it back. But I figured if there was ever a place the finder's keeper's rule applied, it was probably in this Quantum graveyard.
7 O'clock rolled around and I hadn't eaten. I'm a pretty bulky guy, carrying my share of both muscle and fat, and most people think that means I need to eat a ton but that's really not the case. Mostly I just get dehydrated easily, especially in the summer. That said, I was bordering on famished territory and considered heading out for a bite when I heard another sound. The first thing I did was check my scanners, and sure enough the voltage needle was fully spun to the right side of the dial. EM interference. Then I went to see what had dropped. I was able to pick the object out pretty quickly since I had spent the last 6 hours staring at the mosaic of a basement floor. It was a silver briefcase, like one of those out of a crime novel, and it was cracked open.
I had this sense then that I was standing at a precipice, and if I opened the briefcase and looked inside, I wouldn't be able to stop whatever would come afterwards. Part of me deep down knew that I was just that type of guy that had to know, and maybe this was my Hamlet moment where it would be a trait gone a step too far. But then again I didn't really believe in any of that sentimental bullshit, so I opened the briefcase.
The gun surprised me a little, but not as much as the piece of paper laid atop a case file reading in large black font, "FIND ME". I expected the envelope to have some missing person file in it, but instead there were all these schematics and blueprints for some kind of device. Whatever it was, it was pretty massive. Some of the lengths were hundreds of meters long. And what's more strange is based on the blueprint's locale, it appeared to be underground. I looked back through the pages a couple times, then checked the note—nothing strange there. The gun appeared to be a simple glock. I was no gun expert, but I had been to the range pretty regularly with my construction buddies, so I got used to the feel of a pistol and rifle and some of the different names; however, I realized pretty quickly it wasn't your standard glock when I couldn't find mag-release. That's when I noticed how light the gun felt. I tried to chamber a round, but again, there was no hammer. What the hell kind of gun was this?
I ended up throwing everything back in the briefcase, including the necklace, coin, and a few Koozies I found that were branded with one of my favorite sports teams (never let an opportunity go to waste). I put up all my shit back in the van and spun over to a local burger joint, got my fill, and went home. I made sure to draft an email to the prospective buyers, telling them the house had several patches of black mold and a bit of a rat problem before drifting off to sleep. Although I really didn't do much of that.
When I woke up, I took a cold shower and downed a can of Reign, then commuted to my gym and got a lift and some sauna time in before making the trip back to the house. I brought some extra supplies with me for some experiments I cooked up while not sleeping the previous night.
First, I had two camcorders set up on a couple tripods in either corner of the basement. I wanted clear footage of these mystery objects spawning in. Then I set up a voltmeter in a similar fashion, but I had a wire extending out of it on a circuit which fed to an alarm that would blare when the reading was over 250 volts. Upstairs, I rearranged some of the furniture so that the small number of tables, chairs, clock, cabinets, and other little pillows or vases I could find were scattered across the living room, dining room, and kitchen. Then I pulled up a lawn chair to the front porch window and waited.
I didn't have to wait long though. In about a minute, I started to notice some of the objects moving. It was strange. When a few of them would shift simultaneously, it was like looking at a holographic card that would change shape depending on where your eyes were in relation to the image. Every time I saw a shift, I felt an awkward feeling in my eyes. They went blurry for a fraction of a second, then there was a twinge of pain, as if my brain couldn't handle the contradictory stimulus. It didn't get more crazy than that though—until the alarm went off.
I had cracked open the small rectangular window in the basement to the side of the house so I would hear it. It took four hours and several strange stares from passersby walking their dogs before it rang, so I was a bit lost in my thoughts, but when I heard the beep I perked up fast. It lasted for maybe 5 seconds total, but what I saw was truly miraculous. The best way I can describe it is a pool of silver or gray or translucent light emerging in the foreground between me and the objects in the different rooms. A series of twisting tentacles sprouted from the gray octopus-like head and spun in a way that reminded me of that little kids ride at the amusement parks. Then the objects started to "heat up" is the way I describe it. Their position became relative, meaning they were here one second, there another, then they popped out of existence entirely. Suddenly the rooms were all empty, then they were full of things I had never seen before. Then five seconds passed and the octopus vanished and it was back to the same old objects in their usual places.
It took a few minutes to process what I saw, and even then I wasn't sure I really saw it. I went inside and looked around at my distribution of the house's furnishings. They were all there, intact. Then I went downstairs to check the cams. I rewinded a couple minutes and played it back, but there was no flying object to be found. Instead, there was some gray static that lasted half a second and then the object, a kid's treasure chest toy, was there on the ground. But you want to know the really strange part? I rewinded the tape again, and when I watched the footage back, the treasure chest was always there.
I later came to understand that these poppings in-and-out of our reality are only conceivable to a conscious mind that can track the interference patterns—not rote computational instruments. In fact, even most people can't do it (although everyone has at least a slight awareness of it, even if only subconsciously). Plus, locations like the basement of this house are very rare and kept under tight lock. That became obvious to me two days later when, after my normal morning routine, I pulled up to a driveway and curbside filled with unmarked government vehicles. Either bravely or stupidly, I pulled up to a few officers (they were wearing suits in 85 degree weather, so I assumed…) who were idling by the large fence of crime scene tape and asked them what the score was.
"There was a crime," said the short man with a unibrow.
"Oh, is that right? Damn shame. Someone break in? I have a niece who lives nearby, so…"
The man looked at his two compatriots, both of whom were wearing sunglasses and a "get this civilian fuck out of here" expressions. "Oh, yeah," he started in a reassuring tone that was so condescending it would have annoyed anyone except me, "we found a body. We think it was a homicide. Best to keep your kids away from here for a while."
I thumbed the stubble on my chin, my other hand outstretched on the wheel, and considered moving on, but my mouth had other ideas. "That right? But uh, isn't this house vacant? I mean, I don't remember no one living in it."
The short man, now tall with temper, said, "Yeah, some squatters. We think there was a dispute over some drug money. Nothing for you to worry about though, we got it under control. Now if you wouldn't mind moving along, we have a lot of work to do."
Oh, I'm sure you do, I thought, but only said, "Of course, sir, sorry for keeping you from your job." Then I rolled up the window and cruised on, keeping my eyes on the house which slowly diminished in the side-view mirror.
Luckily I had been smart enough to break down my camp and lug home all my equipment each night, so I didn't leave anything incriminating. I didn't move the furniture back, so maybe that would come back to haunt me, but considering the kind of shit going down in that house, I didn't think they would notice.
For any of you wondering about the conclusion of the house story, I went back a couple weeks later after the suits had left and the tape was taken down and confirmed that not only was the basement entirely cleaned out, but it was no longer exhibiting any strange properties. I looked for a story related to the house, maybe a made up murder of some kind, but there was nothing. That bastard lied to me and didn't even bother to cover his story up.
Now, in the aftermath of an event such as this, I really only had one of two options. I could forget it, move on, continue living life. The necklace was surely worth a fortune. I could sell it and have enough to retire, or at least hire enough people and expand my business large enough to retire within ten or so years. Or I could take all that money and invest it in my own PI business with only a single objective: finding out what those people knew, and why they were hiding it.
I think you know me well enough by now to guess which line of reasoning appealed more to me.
***
For the sake of brevity, I'm going to omit most of my encounters along the journey to discovering Area X. There's a lot to tell, and if it appeals to you perhaps I'd be willing to share at a later date, but for now I want to get this part of the story, the more proximal part, out in the open.
Three years ago, I discovered the source of what I'll call "The Receiver". This is the device that was schematized in the documents that I found in the briefcase. What it does is a complex answer, and how it does it is pretty much all speculation, but here's what I've been able to find out: this universe we live in is a node in a network of many other spaces. These spaces exist in higher dimensions that we cannot directly perceive, but using a conceivable analogy, just think about a flower with petals. The petals are these other dimensions which bleed into our world, which is at the center. However, it's not that pretty. We see the physical world through the lens of spacetime: sizes, speeds, etc. These other dimensions don't necessarily have space or time. In fact, what actually exists there, I couldn't say. The only data I have on them is from two sources: correspondence information and server data from the secret agency (which I'll call "the Organization") that keeps this under wraps, and first-hand experience with realms from these other entities, either directly (I experience it) or through the eyes of someone else with the same or greater abilities than I possess.
I referred to these people with abilities earlier as "Antennas", and I will continue to use the term. Antennas really come in three flavors, marked by the strength of their ability: weak Antennas, like me, are able to observe spontaneous interactions between our universe and other dimensions (phase shifts) when there is a strong force of collision like existed in the basement; moderate Antennas may see phase shifts occur at any point, and they usually are able to retain memories from across the different transformations; strong Antennas, and I don't know if they exist yet, but they are able to consciously interact with these other realms and cause phase shifts to occur.
I mentioned that moderate Antennas are able to retain memories from before and after a phase shift. Technically, all Antennas have this ability, but it's about degree. I can recall only very specific instances and without much detail. Moderates are usually able to pick out much more nuanced minutiae. At the lower end of moderate scale, most of those details fade or get fuzzy over time, but for the very strong Antennas, they hold onto almost everything. One other property that scales with strength is interaction with other conscious entities. Only a small percentage of moderates are able to do this. What's interesting is that these entities can possess (yes, like ghosts) people who aren't even antennas, but no one is aware of such possession at this deep of a level. I have several companions now, and only two have had interactions with these otherworldly beings. Not all of them are malevolent, some of them are whimsical or kind, but there are a fair share of demons out there.
Getting back to the point, Area X started as a government funded project in the 70's. At that time, they were focused on a few subjects: Artificial Intelligence, DNA sequencing, and psychedelics. Yes, they were part of the infamous LSD experiments. But they looked at these subjects through a common lens—there was something that the burgeoning tech industry, fueled by the advent of a commercial computer market, was missing. As the tech giants rose in the early 2000's and began to collect mass amounts of data, this other agency was decades ahead in a different metric, although it was completely (and still is) hidden from the public. Their efforts to understand psychedelic experiences led to a formalized method of understanding interactions between multiple realities. They built certain scanning equipment to detect anomalies like the one I found in the basement; although their tools were much more sophisticated and didn't utilize voltage readings. Then they ran tests in these areas. One area in particular is a hot-bed of phase shift interactions. That's where Area X is located (and the Receiver).
The Receiver is a giant electromagnetic orb that has trapped the kind of multi-dimensional energy that causes the phase shifts; since the Organization seized control of the lab, it's effectively become a map of the Earth in relation to these other worlds. For the past twenty or so years, the Organization has been studying this map, using the data big Tech companies have collected to essentially develop a Rosetta Stone for interpreting the meaning of the fluctuations in their scanning equipment. Recently, the public, though going the long way round, was actually pretty close to a breakthrough in this same department until recently when ultra-powerful LLMs surfaced, and the whole world began going down what I'd argue is the wrong rabbit hole of language processing. But I digress.
Area X is essentially a private military base built for defending the most impactful piece of technology ever invented. With the Receiver, the Organization now has the power to essentially predict any and all future outcomes, the only thing holding them back is the limitations of their own scanning equipment which will get better with time. To put it into perspective, the Organization has access to a kind of data allocation tool which in one day can produce over ten thousand times that the Big Data companies combined would be able to filter through in the next decade. You might think, then, that the problem is merely asymmetric power, and that is certainly a concern, but it isn't the main concern. The main issue is that this organization is actively recruiting (and kidnapping) Antennas from around the world in an effort to find or make one of them into a strong Antenna. In other words, they want a subject who is able not only to see the future, but to manipulate it at will.
balance to the world. I've been working on amassing resources, capital, and building my own team, and now I'm ready. You might ask why I'm posting this here. Wouldn't it be better to keep all this secret? Well, yes, it would be. But that's the problem. Nothing is secret anymore. They know about me and the others, and if I don't make a move, they will. In a way, this is a letter directly to the organization that I know, and I'm coming.
In a different way, I wanted to release this information to the public. There are lots of people out there waking up and realizing that the world they experience is not the one others experience. If you think you might be an Antenna, don't be afraid—you have a special gift that can be controlled. If you want more details on how to control it, or if you're interested in my mission, don't be afraid to reach out. This hasn't always been my life's work, but it is now.
At least until I die.

Hello fellow tutor aspirees, side hustlers, academic extraordinaires. I’m here to give you the scoop on the various tutoring platforms, how their services work, tutoring requirements, the types of students on each platform, and of course - how much you get paid for your time.
A little about me. I’ve tutored for a few months now on the following platforms: Varsity Tutors, Wyzant, and SuperProf. I’ve had a number of students on each platform, and it’s safe to say I’ve definitely realized the pros and cons of each one.
Wyzant
Money Info: You set your hourly rate. Wyzant takes 25% of it. If you set your rate to $20/hr you get paid $15/hr.
The Requirements: Each subject you tutor you have to take a 10–20 question multiple choice test on it. The test will be beginner to intermediate questions on the subject you’ve chosen. You only have one chance to pass the test.
The Pros:

You set your own rate
Tutors and students can freely schedule meetings on their own, rather than have someone assign you
The user interface is better(mobile app, messaging system, teaching platform, etc)
Students can largely vary(this can be a con too). You will get a wider range of students, who can be adults with various full time jobs.

The Cons:

You are charged 25% of your hourly rate
It’s very hard to get started as a new tutor. There are tons of tutors with a lot of reviews already.
There are scammers(be cautious of people asking you to communicate off the platform)

Final Verdict
Wyzant is an easy to use platform that takes a while to build a student base. You’ll have to apply and reach out to students a lot at first before you start getting more consistent jobs. This can take a few months, so consider this before you start. The 25% fee is high, but certainly not unreasonable compared to other platforms.
Varsity Tutors
Money Info: Unless you’re tutoring GRE or LSATs, the flat rate is $15/hr, regardless of the subject. GRE and LSAT tutors make $28/hr. Varsity Tutors charges their students $50 - $75/hr.
Requirements: Most subjects do not require a test, however you do need to send in a video interview of yourself, mostly to confirm that you can speak eloquently.
The Pros:

You are assigned students after declaring interest, so you can get started tutoring within a few days.
Students are screened so you’ll mostly get students more prepared for lessons.

The Cons:

A large amount of tutors will only make $15/hr, whereas they charge $50 - $75/hr per student. This can be a huge cut, and limit on pay, especially if you’re teaching harder subjects like programming, sciences, higher level math.
The user interface is not as great. Basic functionality is there, but the overall platform is not aesthetic.
You are legally not allowed to take students off the platform.

Final Verdict
Varsity Tutors definitely has the lowest pay amongst all the platforms. $15/hr to teach is what you can make at some retail jobs in the US. The platform can be better if you need to start making money immediately, or if you live in a country where the cost of living is lower. The amount you are paid is better for people who are teaching subjects that aren’t too difficult.
SuperProf
Money Info: You set your own rate, SuperProf takes 10%. The caveat, SuperProf charges students $39 a month to use the platform.
Pros:

For tutors, SuperProf takes the least amount from your pay compared to other platforms.
Students are generally more prepared because they are paying $39 a month to use the platform.
The user interface is also pretty good.
You can set your own cancellation policies

Cons:

There are less students because of the monthly subscription fee.
It’s very hard to get started as a new tutor. There are tons of tutors with a lot of reviews already.
You have to teach your first two lessons free.

Final Verdict
SuperProf is very similar to Wyzant in that students and tutors can openly communicate and set up time with each other. The 10% fee is lower than the other platforms. But because it’s already hard to get started as a new tutor, and there are less students on the platform, it’s one of the harder platforms to build a student base.
Additional Notes
While all these platforms have their pros and cons. You can always consider tutoring independently. You do not need any licenses or business registration for tutoring in most places. Once you get a student base through Wyzant or SuperProf, you can take them off-platform and teach independently. The best part? You keep the money you work hard for.

I quite like the Pokemon SM anime but there are problems I have with the series:

Ash cheating on a school presentation literally is out of character, Ash has been a person who doesn't take unfulfilled shortcuts devoid of hard work like when he doesn't force Pikachu to evolve in prior series such as when he beat Lt Surge's Raichu.
Ash was stuck in fear of Lycanroc getting angry when it gets dirty when he has encountered a similar case with out of control blaze Chimchar but Ash is clearly filled with braveness when that happens.
SM Ash wants to interfere with Rockruff's training with wild pokemon alone and for some reason that Kukui for some reason has teach him not to interfere with their training cause interfering would not be good for Rockruff's training despite Ash encountering at least one very similar situation before. XYZ Ash literally was preventing his friends from helping a wild Litoleo survive on its own cause it had to get strong on its own. I think I recall a situation as well when Ash stops Clemont or someone from helping Serena as well as it wouldn't be good for her growth. So Ash should already know when to passive in not to interfere with someone so they can develop better by now which SM ignored.
The referee's mistake basically gave Ash a free chance to wake up Rowlet from its sleep with luck that goes beyond a large level of suspension of disbelief. If the referee didn't interfere, Hau would've had a chance to punish Rowlet for sleeping just as many sleeping Pokemon have been punished in the past.

There's more but that's for another time.

In the game Divinity: Original Sin, the weirdest class I played was the Ranger. At first, life was pretty rough. Using basic arrows were pretty underwhelming and getting and using magical ammunition felt good, but was incredibly expensive/hard to find early on in the game. As the game went on, though, and both materials and money became much easier to come by, things started to change. I dubbed my ranger a "Money Wizard" because, effectively, instead of paying for spells in slots and cooldowns, I was paying in straight cash and materials. If I had the resources to fund my lifestyle, I could realistically do what most of the magic classes could do to enemies every single turn. It was kind of a joke, but also a super interesting concept and it worked really well. Surprisingly, the potential is also there in this system with the Thaumaturge.
The Thaumaturge with a scroll can hit like a full caster with the same spell at the majority of levels. With Scroll Thaumaturgy, all their scrolls' DCs (Rumored to also apply to attack rolls) scale based on their class DC. The Thaumaturge's Class DC is only two points behind a caster's DC at levels 7,8, 15, 16, 19, and 20 and otherwise the same. That surprised me a fair bit. As far as the in-combat logistics, Scroll Thaumaturgy also has you covered. Since you can hold a scroll in the same hand as your implement, you can roll into combat with up to two implements and two scrolls in hand and be able to use all of them freely. But, I mean, the Thaumaturge is a martial, so how are we going to afford all these scrolls? The Wand is the way.
The Wand implement effectively gives the Thaumaturge the "cantrip" for the Money Wizard. It's free, it's nice, and it scales surprisingly well. It isn't super flexible, so I would recommend starting off with electricity and branching out to fire or cold with the Adept Benefit. It is competitive with ranged cantrips and gains range, rider effects, and a 1 action "spellshape" that adds a significant amount of extra damage, culminating at level 17 in effectively giving an at-will ability with the damage and area of a Rank 5 Fireball with rider effects on a failed save and freely chosen between fire, cold, and electricity damage. Additionally, it de-emphasizes the need for runes, so we can chuck the majority of our budget into just buying scrolls. A recommendation to squeeze a bit more out of this wand is to take some kind of spellcasting archetype (Bard is convenient), so that you can make your wand implement a magical wand and get yet another casting of a spell through the power of the almighty gold coin.
The biggest problem is pretty much always going to be the economic side of things. Ostensibly, you can "convert" a Striking rune into 5 Rank 2 scrolls or 16 Rank 1 scrolls with a similar amount of gold, which isn't a terrible number for the Rank 1's, but is definitely on the skinny side for Rank 2s, especially considering it is a fairly large amount of the budget. You might be able to scrap up some looted scrolls, which would be pretty funny, but that's going to be random. Scroll Esoterica and its line will give you a few more lower level scrolls, but that feels like more of a bonus than a true budget reliever. This may be the biggest impediment to the Money Wizard concept. One thing that could help significantly, if downtime is available, is to gain Magical and Communal Crafting and work together with your caster(s) during downtime to Craft some scrolls to mitigate some of that cost. Outside of that, though, you will probably always be a least one spell rank behind, except for certain circumstances.
Of course, regular Wizards (or any caster) can ALSO be Money Wizards, if they want, because you can just buy and use a bunch of scrolls of anything from your tradition, but I find it interesting that a non-caster might be able to do the same thing and, even more interestingly, without being beholden to any spell tradition. Outside of being tradition agnostic and having a very strong damage cantrip in the Wand implement, though, there are significant weaknesses due to a limit on how many at-Rank scrolls a Thaumaturge can produce in a given level.

Look, these are just my thoughts…
All of John B’s suffering, the man-hunt and troubles in the Bahamas could’ve all been prevented. I get the show wants to show is something cool and all, but this really bothers me now that I’m rewatching for the 3rd time and start to notice details. I’m sorry for the long paragraph, but these are my thoughts on this:
First of all, after surviving the attacks from Ward with the fishing hook on the yacht, John B could go straight to the cops to tell them what happened, Peterkin would’ve protected him. Even though he ran out of gas on the jetski, he went somewhere else instead. Peterkin would’ve known it was Ward who killed the 2 outsiders in the beginning, because the guy from the morgie said they were likely killed by a fishing hook.
Second of all, he could’ve persuaded Lana to go to the cops WITH him, to testify against Ward.
And third, after Peterkin was shot, he could’ve stayed even though Rafe was dangerous. Ward would’ve called on Peterkin’s radio and they could testify right there and then. This seems highly unlikely as Ward would’ve stalled anyways. Only if the other 3 stayed and watched from a distance, it would’ve all ended differently.
Also, when John B ran away from the airstrip and almost got ran over by a car, he could’ve asked the guy to bring him to the police station ASAP because the Sheriff has been shot. I’m sure the guy would’ve driven him to the police station.
Finally, he went to the police station, WAY too late might I add, to tell them who shot the Sheriff. If only he cooperated with the cops, as intimidating as it sounds, he could be detained and maybe spent a few nights there. When interviewed, he could’ve told his story, let Sarah vouch for him, which she would most likely have done, and maybe even get Lana to testify for him as well. Lana might’ve been scared to do so because of Ward (and probably Rafe as well), and maybe his friends could’ve also testified because they would do so 100%. So in Peterkin’s autopsy, they might’ve found the bullet if there was no exit wound and if there was an exit wound, they could’ve searched the airstrip since they also HAVE to conduct an investigation at the crime scene, aka the airstrip. Big chance they find the bullet, after which they could trace it back to which kind of gun was used, check the register or get a search warrant for Tannyhill after all the leads they got from the “witnesses”. If they found the gun, they could trace tracks of fingerprints, hair or maybe even saliva to find the one who shot Peterkin. After Rafe is then arrested, John B would walk out of the police station as a free man, teenager, whatever he likes.
Also he could’ve told the cops he found the gold, show them the evidence, which is those 3 molten bars which they couldn’t sell and stole back from Barry, and tell them Ward stole it and Sarah could tell them to where, their Bahama house.
The way it all went baffled me, to say the least. The first 1-2 times watching I wasn’t noticing this that much and it was cool and fun to watch, but I just wanted to share my thoughts with you Pogues/Kooks. Either way, John could’ve been free, not hunted, not stolen from and maybe rich (If the government wouldn’t take the gold) if he did what I described above. The government of whom the gold belonged to back in the 1800’s might’ve put a claim on the gold and maybe even give them a finder’s fee or the gold would end up in a museum if they mentioned the gold to the cops and got the Bahama police to retrieve the gold from Ward’s Bahama house.
Anyways, thanks for reading and I am really curious for your guys’ opinion.

I have been day trading options for 3 years now. So far profitable, and seeking to max out my day trading account for another 2 years.
According to my calculations, I can semi-retire at that point and go full early retirement 2-3 years thereafter.
I will then continue with day trading, downsize my lifestyle where needed, and enjoy my free time.
Any extra cash will go directly into short-term fixed accounts.
Has anyone adopted the same or similar strategy?

tl;dr: Life is actually the confounding thing about life, not consciousness.
The hard problem and the debate about consciousness in general would be rendered moot by replacing the term with simply, “life.”
In other words, the debate suffers from a categorical error, and the real mystery to solve is strictly a cosmico-biological one.
It is quite clear that human perception, cognition, spatial awareness, and sense of self are a property of a decentralized network of neuro-chemical tissue inseparably connected to a mechanical robot of muscle and bone.
This is amazing. This is absolutely magical and baffling. However, it disappoints in that it does not address what idealists are calling consciousness, and physicalists are confounded by idealists claims because the properties mentioned above are what we scientifically define consciousness to be—self awareness in the world and all the components that come to together to make that possible.
The other related, but separate baffling mystery that science and philosophy have less of a grasp of is, quite frankly, the mystery of life. It can also be called the mystery of volition. It’s the will to power—our evolutionary drive, and the part of us that we feel is transcendent, eternal, a free wheeling dancing agent making choices and who has a destiny under the sky, being led by mysterious signs and forces towards what we dream and yearn for—THAT is the part of us that the idealists are calling “consciousness,” and that is the part science has yet to understand.
We do not understand the fifth force—the one that strives against entropy and chaos—the will to life.
However, what is even more striking, is that human consciousness, as finite and meaty as it is, can directly connect and communicate with this force, and it is found to be hyperintelligent, timeless, and spaceless. It is where creativity, art, and pop culture come from.
For science to be able to participate on this side, it will need to make epistemological revisions to its method, because the life force is meta to our human realm and senses.
Is there evidence of this theory?
There is no direct evidence, only anecdotal, but the corpus is vast, old, and ever growing. The result of the double slit experiment, following strictly the Copenhagen interpretation, shows that measurement determines the outcome, and that before measurement, the outcome is truly uncertain.
Most importantly, however, the body of evidence around paranormal experience and its research is the best set tools and data we have to begin piecing together the broader picture. It is in paranormal experience where we make contact with the spooky realities our minds are capable of touching base with, and it is in those experiences where we come to realize fully and directly, that all of reality, all of our cities, worlds, and even our very selves are all fantastical imaginations of mind.
tl;dr: Life is actually the confounding thing about life, not consciousness.

I am 25, I’m totally fully lesbian. I have childhood trauma, both my parents where emotionally unavailable, both have narcissistic personality disorder. I experienced my mother divorces twice. My family is homophobic. My mother is toxic, I have never met „mother’s love” people are describing. She was mentally abusing me and isolating me from peers. She is also very jealous of my life.
I’m living in homophobic country, homosexual people don’t have any rights here. Also my country is very very catholic.
Before therapy I was sure I want kids. During my therapy healing proccess I was wondering if I want kids. In my first serious relationship I felt like I don’t want to have kids, I was fine with it, she didn’t want them too. After break up I was sure she was also a narcissist, she prefers to hooking up and be single.
There are no possibilities in my country- we can’t get adoption and in vitro. We can only in secrecy ask a man to do us a favor with old fashioned way.
Also there is climate change.
Now I am with a girl 22 yo who is much more into me than my ex. She cares about me a lot. She gives me a lot of attention. We are together for 4 months now. She sees her future with me. She doesnt cheat on me as my ex did. She isnt into her ex. But she wants kids very badly and she is always telling this.
It is so hard to find a normal girl who I am attracted to and who doesnt want kids even though our country is homophobic. Also someone who is really into me. There Are plenty of wlw out there.
I was parentified, so I was not able to have childhood. I was raising my brother and needed to be mother of my mother. After therapy I started to live my life. I feel like my mother stole my childhood.
My gf had very happy childhood, her parents were interested in her needs.
I don’t know if I should break up with her. Before I met her I felt like I don’t want kids.
I’m wondering if it will come with age as I will life my life after therapy. I need to admit I feel bad when kids are crying and I’m not like omg they are so cute, nope.
I can’t be pregnant as I am bipolar and my meds can cause problems to baby with heart.
Also if I will decide to stay with her I will have no legal rights to the child she will give birth to.
For now I don’t feel like I want to have kids, she is my big support in live, I love her, but I am afraid I will waste her time.
On the other hand I am thinking maybe it will be fine to start a family, I’m afraid that my life will be very lonely as most of women wants to have kids and I will be child free.
What do you think? Will this to urge to start family come with age? Or this feeling not to have Kids will stay with me?

I have a stable, 9-5 job that pays the bills nicely, so I'm not desperate for cash or anything. However, I am starting to get very discouraged at the business side of my art journey. I have paid for several classes and a couple mentorships under well known artists. My skills aren't at a studio level of perfection yet, but I would like to think I'm good enough to get paid for it by now. I've been studying hard for the past 4 years and impressed a few professional artists with my overall growth.
But I still can't seem to get any commission work. Not from friends, not from family, not from internet acquaintances, not from random people looking up my art on social media. Just completely dry. There were 3 opportunities where someone I knew online messaged me looking for some artwork to be made, but after we agreed to what it was going to be and the price, they went silent about the project. When I contacted them again about the artwork they all told me they decided not to have the work done. 3 people in 4 years showed interest and just dropped it before I even made one sketch. These weren't just random people either, I still have contact with them today, we still talk online.
Even though I have a decent 9-5, I'm gonna start feeling the squeeze soon. I just had my first child 2 weeks ago. He is a bundle of chaos and joy for me. I love every minute I spend with my son, but my wife isn't able to go full time back to work for 7 months. I am confident that my employer will help me out (they said as much) but I always pride myself on standing on my own two feet. I really want to supplement my extra baby costs with what little I can make doing commission work part time for individuals.
Is there a secret sauce I don't know about? Am I in an "art desert" part of the United States where no one gives a crap about DnD character illustrations? I have handed out many business cards at this point and made some promising connections online, but still nothing.
I'm not asking for much, just a job every month or two that can get me an extra $60, but whatever I am doing is totally not working. Is it the communities? I frequent ArtStation, DeviantART, and Reddit, looking for clients. If you guys all moved somewhere else to find commissions I would like to know the address. The money squeeze is coming soon and I don't want to make the decision between bacon or diapers on my next grocery run. I would like both, please.
Again, I am not desperate, just starting to feel my finances slip away a little. If I can live comfortably doing my two jobs (9-5 and an art freelancer) I will take that, but I'll also survive without the extra income. Though, I've spent too much of my life just "surviving." I would like to thrive at some point, and I want my art to be what opens the door.
So, with all that said, does anyone have any tips for getting small commission work? Locally, online, I don't really care, as long as it can land me at least one small job, which would be more than I've gotten in the past half decade. Not posting my portfolio on this subreddit because I'm not looking to advertise here, just wanting advice on getting a commission based business going. I post my portfolio to places where I'm looking for clients.

So it's popular to doubt Game Pass due to a lack of understanding of the model. Xbox/Microsoft wants Game Pass to be the Netflix of gaming. We know that, but no one questions Netflix. Netflix initially had old movies and TV shows on DVD. So let's talk Netflix and their competitors.
They later did streaming. What was happening around then? Streaming wars were incomming due to Netflix becoming popular. Studios wanted more money and then thought, wait why don't we do our own at some point. Netflix started spinning up their own content in landmark deals, House of Cards whole first season was green lit. Netflix began blowing money to draw eyesballs at this point. They needed continued subscriptions growth to help mitigate the blowing of cash but they new they would only survive with engaging new titles since they were losing the back catalog that most people were watching. Yes, Bright got headlines, but losing Friends and the Office hurt Netflix.
Netflix doesn't get the ability to make a big theatrical run pop that makes 500million dollars and then the 2nd run with it being on TV. So what do they do? They end series after a couple seasons. They do things to gain acclaim or get everyone talking. 2020 came along and what were we talking about in March/April? Tiger King. It's a far cry from Bright but it took over the globe.
What did Netflix's competitors do? They launched services and made original content. A lot are flopping. I won't mention Quibbi, Vudu, Crackle or all the other low tier streaming services. HBOMax was in it's best in 2020. They got my money. They about faced on that their features releasing day and date, started cancelling shows, merged and changed their name and cancelled/scrapped completed projects. I cancelled my service and only came back when they offered it for 99¢ a month for the ad version for a year. Guess what, I'll be cancelling it when the price changes.
Disney locked in a lot of subscribers for 2-5 years pre-launch. They released a lot of new content to mixed to meh results. They made a Willion series and cancelled it after season 1. X-Men 97 got me to log into a family account to watch it starting 3 weeks ago.
CBS All Access became Paramount Plus. They went in on Star Trek and now Paramount is looking to get sold in a weird way where the IP would stay with Sony but paramount plus would get sold off?
Peacock made headlines for their Bel Air series but I've heard more people talk positive about Crackle than ever mention Peacock.
**** Back to Game Pass****
If Microsoft stick's to their plan, they will be Netflix. They need to work on getting subscriptions. I'm sure a lower tier Game Pass, that's just their phone games will get a lot of new subscribers. They won't take as many big swings like Netflix did for Bright. They will take moderate swings like Netflix did for Adam Sandler movies and stand up. They will hopefully work with TV partners to make sure new TVs can play Game Pass. They don't need a handheld if all the new Samsungs and LG TVs have a built in 100 dollar piece of equipment. They will make more TV shows and movies. They might not of made a new Fallout game, but the series made the old games spike in sales and plays.
Microsoft made a service that influenced a service that made PlayStation and Nintendo copy parts of it. Some of the same Games Journos who bemoan Game Pass as unsustainable also really want Nintendo to copy them more, usually justifying emulation/piracy.
You won't like what Xbox/Microsoft does all the time. If we lose Phil Spencer, you'll get someone way more keen to be a Bobby Kotick and keep his job then someone who loves videos as a medium. You don't have to agree or support them. Vote with your wallets. I'm just a Nintendo Day 1 fan, who owns all the systems and likes what Microsoft is building to.
P.S. a cancelled TV series doesn't get the same press as a closed game studio but the loss of jobs and impact is the same. You look at all the crew and then people hired to do related jobs... Like the craft services, security and post production services. It hurts.

I work at a small but almost always full hotel in the center of Athens, Greece. The incident is a bit old (2022) but it still bothers me because the review is still online. The guest in question went out one day and the same evening when she returned to her room, came down stairs and claimed that 600$ were stolen from her room. She probably had forgotten where she put her cash and found them afterwards since she never followed up or contacted us or Booking again about the issue. My personal guess is that she wanted something like a free upgrade or not to pay for the Jacuzzi.
The problem is that she obviously wrote a 1/10 review on Booking where she called us thieves, a "sham of a business" and threatened with lawsuits, that two years later never happened. We asked Booking twice to remove the review or at least the written comments since there is no evidence, yet they said they couldn't because "This is the guest's experience" and "It does not go against their policy".
Yet their policy is that they are strict at any content that could be "deemed intimidating, threatening, rude of disparaging". So any Karen can write whatever she wants in a review as long us she doesn't explicitly curse? Every hotel, even the best ones get negative reviews but this one bother me because it has nothing to do with our hotel and services. Is there anything more that can be done or just wait for the review to finish its 3 year online cycle?
