Many turbulent waters have passed under a very narrow bridge these past three days. We feared fear itself on a different level and experienced some of the biggest stress we have in a very long time. We were locked almost 24 hours (20 minutes of open-out time on Monday and Tuesday).
Considering that most of us don't eat the prison rations, we hungered and thirst greatly. At some points food and water became scarce in the entire yard. Bread was completely unavailable and treated and packaged water was spent. All sellers sold out within the first 20 minutes of opening on Monday. Since there was nothing entering or leaving, by Tuesday afternoon, no food or water could be found at any cell or anywhere within the yard.
Remember, the first news of an imminent search came on Saturday night (Day #354) and we did an emergency hiding of our phones. We were all scared and restless, the hiding wasn't safe, we only hid anywhere that looked like something could be put in it. It was already late when this info came and we were all already locked in and couldn't, well, go out, so we only did our hidings within and around. During the day, the following morning, we used our phones until locking time before the hiding began again and stretched into the night. (I'm talking about Sunday evening/night now).
I sent mine along with the accessories to the workshop for safekeeping while others hid theirs in many creative ways. Officially, cells collected their phones together in a plastic bucket and holes were dug within the blocks and they were buried. This was done under the cover of night.
COs opened our cells and instructed us to do it and make sure no contraband remained in any cell as this would always bounce back on them. They didn't want that and so had to aid us. The external search party that came was directly from the nation's capital (HQ of corrections) and were therefore superior to any officer in this facility. Even superior to the state comptroller of corrections. It was a pretty tense situation for us inmates and as well for them COs.
On Sunday night, I slept quite well after we'd hidden our phones and stuff, mine in the toilet at the workshop and others majorly buried in the ground inside blocks. Early in the morning on Monday, when the search was to begin, was when we had the most anxiety. The cells and blocks were just too troublingly quiet. I mean it was so quiet it was deafening, literally. Like a pressure built up in my two ears and everything paused and people moved in slow motion, kind of quiet.
Suspense. Suspense. Suspense. In the morning, before they eventually showed up, we were dying of suspense. Being fortunate as a result of the positioning of our cell, we have a window that can see a greater part of the yard, as well as the main gate far up front. For this morning, everyone wanted to stand at that window and mount the sentry. Thump, thump, thump our hearts thumped and silence remained deafening.
Finally they started trickling in with swag after some waiting. Big, mean looking dogs pulled by big muscled, mean looking COs, were in front, and came charging in. These hellhounds looked as though they had a score to settle with the inhabitants of this hell and would tear them and their abode apart if they got the chance. They didn't!
I'm talking Monday morning now.
Some dramas unfolded that wouldn't permit the hounds to have their fun. What happened was that immediately the search company entered, they turned left and began marching to Back Cell. This is the place where the hardest death row inmates are kept. So, as soon as these condemned guys knew they were coming, they let out such demonic shouts that rent and vibrated the previously unsettlingly quiet atmosphere, cursings and threatenings of stabbings and stranglings, and forced feeding the intruders their overnight shit defecated into plastic containers, echoed.
Such terrible roars their shouts were. The other two blocks, besides Back Cell, where death row inmates are kept, on hearing their fellows, also joined in on the bawl. As Back Cell shouted one thing, it was picked up by the other two blocks, rebounded and volleyed back into the uttermost parts of the prison. They sort of formed a shout transmission triangle.
This development was psychological, calculated and halted our unwanted visitors dead in their tracks. Men who were as good as dead had told them they weren't wanted and would have their deaths fast-forwarded if they advanced further. Their march now paused, they had no choice but to think deeply about all the possible options. To be sure, the losers would be them if they chose to engage foolishly. Dead men have nothing to lose, you know?
After much consideration, the company put forward the Chief of the yard and the resident Deputy Comptroller of Corrections (DCC) to go reason with their dead men. They did and the men told them the only thing they could promise them was deaths if anyone dared to step beyond their designated buffer zone.
Back Cell won. The company then had to send their war dogs out of the yard and adopted a more friendly mien all in a bid to diffuse tension and tone down aggressions. I would say it worked because the shouts died down and the next death row block they turned to cooperated and the search began.
They were very thorough and took a lot of stuff but surprisingly very few phones (already buried, yo!). Knives, belts, bottles, electric stoves and kettles were all taken. Gold blings of all types and serious cash were found and confiscated from the rich blocks. Contrary to expectation, the workshop where my stuff was hidden was searched. I died immediately they marched in there and remained dead, though walking around, until the next day. Not knowing if they took my things was harder and more torture than if they'd actually taken it and I knew immediately. I suffered for hours.
My block wasn't visited until Tuesday. By this time, the searchers were already spent and the aggression had left them and returned to their HQ (lol). The tendency to be dicks and bullies had fizzled out, now they were too nice. I needed to check if I hadn't woken at the Four Seasons somehow for how civil they were.
Tell you what? Technically, they didn't search our cell. As soon as the searchers arrived at our block, our cell being the first, they gathered in front. One got very close to our gate and codedly asked that we arrange money and give him so he wouldn't search us and we did. Turns out only five of the company were the ones allowed into the cells to do the actual searching and he was the leader of the five.
Having slipped money into his hand while we were moving out, they merely made a show of searching the bunks closest to the gate where their colleagues and Superiors stood, but took nothing out even if it was an exhibit. They didn't touch the bunks deeper inside at all. We were made to sit on the ground in front of our cell while they did their thing inside. After a while, they came out with only two laughable things and declared to their boss that our cell is clean (lolz, the money we gave them was equally clean).
Actually, why it was like that was that Authority didn't want us to be searched at all but had to do it to fulfill all righteousness. The DCC told them if they don't search everyone, fighting would break out. The people searched and their things seized would cause trouble. So they only came to our block not to search but for show. Our block has the most impeccable record of any block and our cell stands out of any cell in the block for good behavior.
I later understood that the search was originally targeted at the death row guys at Back Cell, Blocks One and Two, and B block. Other places searched were only as a matter of necessity to serve as cover and to even things out and not hurt already hurt feelings. Principally, it was that transgender in Block Two that singlehandedly attracted and brought this search upon us. He was using his phone recklessly on social media, doing live videos and shits. The extent of his popularity gave his actions a lot of visibility and a lot of powerful people saw it, hence the searchlight fell on prisons.
When it was all over (Tuesday evening), they opened us for only 20 minutes to stretch our limbs but that was just all we needed. Everything buried in the ground was uprooted and I got my phone from the workshop as well. Belts and other things followed later. Hunger and thirst was tough on us these few days. Honestly, prison would be unbearable without our phones, many of us found out during this period. I rest my pen for now.
Tomorrow is Wednesday and normalcy will return. I'm almost thinking: why go through all that trouble for nothing? I may as well have had my stuff tucked away under my bunk and be safe. Anyway, better safe than sorry.
Goodnight Diary!

I'm walking through a bustling underground train station. I push and shove my way through all the other commuters onto the platform. As I look around, there seems to be endless rows of platforms in both directions, stretching well into a dense fog. Further ahead, neat lines of railway tracks extend out from the fog and through the platforms. I instinctually look up at the info screen
Next train in ### minutes
I furrow my brow, squint to try and focus on the numbers but they're heavily pixelated and illegible. I look around at the other commuters, who stream onto the platform completely unaware of the anomaly. Most people are on their phone, or wearing headphones while some are talking to each other. No one seems to notice the malfunction with the screen.
That's when the absurdity of the situation clicks for me. Endless platforms, a wall of fog, unreadable numbers and people that don't care. It's all a dream. I bring my hand up to my face and pinch my nose, trying to breathe through it. An old reality check I remembered from back when I was trying to learn to lucid dream.
My heart rate jumped when I realised, that I couldn't breathe through my nose. Before I could even process this, another problem presented itself. I didn't know why I was here. I didn't know where I was going and I definitely did not know how I even got here. It seems as if reality ceased to exist right before I walked onto this platform. Just like it typically feels in a dream, you spawn in out of nowhere and don't really know what happened prior - except this wasn't a dream.
I knew I was sure of it because deep inside my bones I felt this anxious urgent message. I need to catch this train. It was a primal feeling.
At this point, my head is spinning and I need to sit down somewhere. I choose a silver bench with a middle aged woman sitting on it. She shuffles further to the left as I sit down next to her clutching my head and racking my brain to try and figure out what it is happening. This is what amnesia feels like, I thought to my self as I gnawed at scraps of messy muddled memories. Each image that came into my mind was just a fragment - A school, a library, sickeningly white walls. It hit me that I didn't even know my name. I was starting to hyperventilate but then my body kicked into autopilot. I started to take deep breaths, focusing on my diaphragm and calming myself down. It felt like I was trained to do this. I started to focus on the current situation.
Where was my ticket? Instinctually, I knew I had to have gotten one on my entry to the train station. I reached into my pockets and pulled out a scrap of paper. Scrawled in very familiar cursive:
*In case of memory loss, read the journal in your backpack*
Strange message but I didn't have any choice then to at least give the instructions a try. I removed my backpack and rummaged through it for the journal. I wouldn't really call it a backpack - more a tattered and frayed bundle of cloth that was reminiscent of a backpack. I finally found a series of small thick journals, bundled in cloth with their leather covers on the verge of disintegration. The pages still seemed in good condition though. Each cover was sequentially labelled which I'm guessing corresponded to the chronological order of the writings within.
The lady next to me was weirdly getting agitated. She kept stealing glances, her body shaking and eyes burning with a fierce rage. I slowly got up from the bench and began to step backwards. My backpack bumped into a pillar. The dull thud it made seemed to cause a drastic change to everyone around me though. They all snapped their heads, locking eyes on me and staring through my very soul. I felt exposed.
The rumble of an arriving train stole away their attention and within a split second everyone was ignoring me again, going back to their usual activities. It seriously felt like I had just imagined it and it was becoming more and more clear that I was having some sort of mental breakdown. Nevertheless, as the train slowed to a stop on the platform, I walked into it and found a seat. The train seemed to be old and new at the same time. Typical blue seats with abstract dirty patterns complete with a modern sleek interior of gentle curves clashing with a boxy dull metallic exterior and doors that looked like they belonged on a rusty submarine.
I opened the first of the journals and began to read. I soon realised that the handwriting was mine and within the next few moments I was attacked by a barrage of memories that had remained repressed and buried in the back of my mind.
*
My name is Jacob and I have been stuck here in this place called *The Limbo* for an eternity. When I say 'eternity', I don't mean it lightly. Back when I used to keep track I counted over 500 years through my wristwatch that never seemed to run out of battery. Now I know counting is meaningless. There have been periods like this where my mind falls into a deep trance and I lose my whole identity as I mindlessly wander in this place much like the entities that inhabit it. Occasional periods of lucidity breach this trance and then I find myself lost and confused. It's why I keep the journals with me. I think its some sort of psychological survival mechanism that human brains develop when faced with the infinite vastness of The Limbo.
Speaking of The Limbo, I've come to learn a few things about its nature through my stay here. Some of its been through people that I've come across (Yes others are also stuck here) and some has been through my own experiences. Perhaps the most important is the question of where I get my food and water. The answer is weird. I have never felt hungry or thirsty. The sensation of having cool water slide down my throat remains a memory so distant that it feels like the snippet of a childhood dream.
I guess the next natural topic about this place would be time. Through various experiences of mine (that you'll get to read about) and discussions with others, the leading theory of mine is that The Limbo exists outside of time itself. While I myself have fallen here sometime during 2001, I've met many others from various years like the 80s, 90s and even one recent fellow from 2043.
Most people in The Limbo eventually fall into a trance, withering away until they become one of the entities or become mere tools for them. It's probably naive but I keep going through this place with only two hopes. The first is to somehow get out of here at the right time point and see my son, who I never got to see. The second is to come out of this place and die so that I no longer have to live out the empty agony of eternity (I'll explain how you can't age or die in The Limbo later). Perhaps my hopes will dwindle as the centuries pile and I will become just like those who I look upon in pity now.
I am writing this consolidated diary of my experiences for several reasons. I'd like someone to know of my unending journey in this place. To be aware of the capacity of the human spirit to keep going in the worst of situations. I have never had a long term friend in The Limbo, but know that I consider you the reader a dear friend even if I never get to meet you because you will know my story. I'm also sharing this in hopes that there is more awareness of The Limbo. Perhaps the military and scientists can actually figure out what it is. Perhaps all of us can be brought home. Or maybe this can serve as a survival guide to those who may be unfortunate enough to fall through.
There are small holes in The Limbo. Most of them are barely large enough for a pinkie finger to fit in let alone a person, but sometimes I've come across one large enough for this journal to go through. I'm not sure what time or place these holes lead to, so the safe passage of this book into a person capable of reading it has about the same chances as me ever leaving this place.
The train I'm on supposedly leads to the edge of The Limbo, where the holes are large enough for humans to fit through. It's really more of a legend amongst the poor souls that are trapped here and I've followed trails and clues for a long time to even find this train.
There are only two ways this goes. Both outcomes would lead to you reading this book in your hands. I'll either find my way out of this hell or give up hope and slip this journal through a Hole. You will find my fate at the end.
I should stop rambling now though. It would be best to start at the very beginning.

I was rushing out of work in pure ecstasy. My wife had gone into labor while I was at work and been rushed to hospital. I needed to get there fast. People were glancing over at me over their cubicles in confusion as I packed up my work bag and rushed out to the elevators. I couldn't stop thinking about seeing my first son as the elevator made its way down. The elevator doors finally opened and I rushed out.
The ground entrance of the building I worked at, particularly near the lobby, is an intersection of various hallways. I was already walking to close to the wall when someone came rushing around the corner and bumped me right into the wall. I was only able to hear half their apology when I fell *through* the wall like it was just a holographic projection. In hindsight, I find it oddly funny how easy it is for a life to get ruined. Just when you think you've got it all, when everything is going smoothly, a small incident like that is enough to take it all away.
I found myself in a room that resembled a classroom. It looked as if someone who had never stepped inside a classroom was asked to imagine the space. Desks were arranged in messy uneven rows with the chairs facing various directions. The board at the front of the room was a seamless patchy mixture of both chalk and modern whiteboard and mounted way too low on the wall, nearly hugging the floor. A large teachers desk sat in the front of the room. The walls were filled with posters of absolute gibberish along with diagrams and pictures that seemed like they showed something tangible but no matter how close you looked you could never identify anything in the picture.
The initial confusion was replaced by an immense panic. My heart was drumming against my chest as I searched the room for a doorway to exit it. My mind was trying to rationalise the situation. I was trying to convince myself that this was just some old part of the building and I had fallen into a hallway instead of the wall.
I ran through the doorway at the far end of the room and found myself in a large hallway that seemed to extend forever in both directions. The walls were a muted grey and the floors were that typical dirty linoleum. Soon I would find out that the regularly spaced doorways on either side of the hall led to other nonsensical classrooms.
I ran down the hallway screaming for help in pure panic, which was a terrible mistake in hindsight. I stopped running down the hallway when I suddenly heard the distinct scratch of chalk against board. In this large empty space, the sound echoed and boomed. Since I was still refusing to buy in to the reality of the situation, my hopes were momentarily increased by the supposed presence of another person here.
I slowly walked over to the doorway that the sounds were coming from. My stomach filled with an uneasy dread. This deep primal instinct within me urged me to hold back. I peeked carefully in the classroom and saw a woman with their back turned to me drawing something on the chalkboard.
It took me a few moments to notice that it was a very realistic portrait of my face.
She was drawing lines across my throat, her long dark hair swaying as she drew in the details. The drawing was completed with a terrible slash across the throat, blood gurgling out. I was frozen in place, transfixed on the hauntingly beautiful realism of the picture.
She began to turn around slowly while humming a high pitched tune. To this day I can't describe the face I saw. It is still etched into my mind. A face full of so much hatred, so much anger that I don't think its possible for a human to make that face. It expressed an emotion beyond human understanding. No artist in the world could ever render the expression on the paper. No words could describe the pure fear that coursed through my veins as she stared at me and began to approach.
I turned around to run, only to realise that a bunch of school children had gathered around me. They were headless, the bleeding stumps dripping thick blood onto the floor in a rhythmic patter. Somehow they were laughing.
I shoved through the group and ran down the hallway. I wasn't sure where I was going. My whole world had shattered and now I was completely aimless in some nonsense dimension with horrors beyond imagination that wanted me dead.

The extract above is from this journal I found at the foot of a large tree on a hiking trail. It's a miracle that I spotted its faded leather cover given that it was almost buried under rotting leaves. I really don't know what to make of what I'm reading, so I'll be slowly transcribing bits of it in separate posts over the next few days.
I know this subreddit is good for this sort of stuff. I'd love if someone else could share anything they know about The Limbo. This whole journal feels like some sort of prank, but the words and memories within feel way too real.
I can't help but feel a connection to this story. My mum doesn't speak much of my Dad, who I know left before I was born. No one ever found out where he went.
I was born in 2001

I made a post recently about feeling ‘on the fence’ regarding Infliximab and asking for some reassurance.
Thought I’d make a follow up post in case anybody finds themselves in a similar position.
Infliximab was first mentioned to me last month when I was 4-6 weeks deep into a flare and had a scope done which showed moderate to severe inflammation. Prednisolone was off the table as I’d had a bad reaction to it previously. I’d been symptom-free for over a year without any medication before this flare so the mention of biologics and infusions and having to rely on a drug to keep me well came as a bit of a shock to me and I told my Doctor I wanted to read into it further before committing to it. Essentially I was trying to buy some time and hoping my body would somehow overcome the flare by itself without medication. I was given Budesonide but it wasn’t helping.
The flare continued to get worse and it reached the point where I’d be up 15-20 times each night running to the bathroom. Stomach pain would come in waves and I started to lose my appetite and drop weight. My family took matters into their own hands and called an ambulance for me on Saturday night and I was admitted as an inpatient.
I spent 3 days on Hydrocortisone 100mg injections 4 times daily and I felt some relief and no side effects from that. The team were able to give me my first Infliximab infusion at my bedside as an inpatient yesterday rather than having me wait for an appointment at the infusion suite later down the line. I was given 100mg Hydrocortisone and some antihistamines before being put on the infusion for 2 hours. The antihistamine must’ve made me drowsy because I went to sleep and woke up with 5 minutes to go.
I don’t know if it’s coincidence or placebo but I felt better almost immediately and I haven’t passed any fresh blood since the infusion was finished. Up until that point I’d been passing blood upwards of 20 times daily.
My CRP was at 120 when I came in, 80 yesterday and sub 40 today. I did provide some samples for calprotectin pre infusion but I doubt they’ll even be useable.
I guess the main message I’m trying to put out is that biologics do sound like a serious step and can be difficult to swallow to begin with but a medical professional will not likely recommend them lightly and I encourage others not to wait until you’re on death’s door before making your decision. Very early days for me right now of course but the procedure and preparation was straightforward and I felt instant relief.

My sister (32F, let's call her Tammy) goes through an incredibly hard week this time of year - and has been every single year since 2010. Before she graduated high school, her best friend at the time (18M, let's call him Charlie) went on a school trip to Chicago Illinois to take a culinary course. Needless to say, he never came back. One night as the course was nearing an end, he and his friends decided to go out and celebrate with drinks.
The group got lost and tried to find their hotel for nearly an hour. They drunkedly decided that taking shortcuts in dark allies, past 1 in the morning, was a good idea. One of his friends has always been one to run his mouth - which unfortunately caused him to get pissed off and ended up shooting my sister's best friend as a result, even though he actually meant to hit the other guy.
The shooter fled and the others managed to go find help. Apparently, Charlie managed to stay alive for a full 10 minutes before dying in the alley he was shot in. Every single year since 2010, for an entire week and sometimes more, my sister refuses to talk to anyone. She goes off the grid and no one has a clue what she's up to, and she refuses to tell us anything when she's ready to get back to her normal every day life routine. This worries me a lot because ever since she was a young child (yes, around 12), she has had problems with self-harm, alcohol and drug addictions.
She has been clean for the past 8 years. And while the family and myself (mostly) trust her not to take part in any of those things again, part of me can't help but wonder if she is going to have a mental breakdown one year and just kill herself during a bout of serious depression.
This year particularly worries me the most because Tammy told me that she's not going to be as depressed as she has been the past 14 years, and instead tends to do something about it. She told me she is booking a trip to Chicago, particularly on the exact day that Charlie was murdered, and plans on staying in the same area. Her exact words to me were that she plans to, "Do something about it", and how this is a perfect opportunity for her to "learn how to say goodbye one last time."
While it may sound innocent to a lot of people, knowing my sister as I do she tends to do very drastic things such as this when she isn't thinking clearly. If I told anyone in my family about this they would most likely say that she just wants to finally be able to move on and put this behind her. However, given her suicidal nature in the past, my mind turns to the darkest solution.
Am I being a little dramatic about her taking this "Goodbye trip", or should I try to stop her in some way from going. When she says, "I want to relive his exact foot steps", that only means one thing to me, and I think some of you can agree. Should I do anything? Family is going to be no help at all and actually encourages her doing this. Should I call to get her some help? Would the police do anything to help if she hasn't exactly made direct threats to kill herself or is there anyone else I can reach out to so they can help her just in case she is going to kill herself?
****TL;DR: My sister's best friend was murdered in high school. Sister gets depressed around this time every single year but this time wants to live in her best friends final foot steps before he died. What should I do?****

What more can I do? The people who live under me insufferable. they constantly complain to me about me making noise! It started by them saying my dog barked all night the first night he was left alone. I got off work 4 hours early that night (2 am) and didn't go inside for about an hour because i was enjoying the cool night. And I wanted to see if he was barking, but he didn't make a peep. Additionally the neighbors on either side listened for him after I left for work at 6 pm (and we can all hear eachothers tv's) but they didn't hear him. They (all 3 neighbors) had my number but nobody texted. They just complained when I saw them the next day.
​
Almost every time the people under me see me they complain about the noise. So I've done everything in my power to keep it quiet while actively making every effort to avoid them. My dog stays at my moms house most nights when I'm working and when that's not possible and he's home alone he's got his bark collar on and I give him his anxiety medication to help him sleep. They still say he runs around all night but that's not possible because he's crated. i thought it could be the cats but when I'm home the cats sit in their tree and sleep and that's all they do all night until about 6 am when they get their morning treat.
​
I put some area rugs down to try to help. But that hasn't done anything.
​
I even did these neighbors a favor and let them use my washer and dryer (even though they did 3 times as many loads as I do alone) to try to get on their good side until they started complaining about cat hair allergies and I didn't want to risk one of them passing out in my apartment so I had to put a stop to it.
​
This morning at 5 am the woman texts me that she heard my dog running around and he's kept them up all night. No. last night I was home and I watched my dog and cats, nobody ran around. Nobody made noise. Nobody barked. Nobody meowed. I paced back and forth to the bedroom a few times when I needed to, and I try to step as light as I can but I have a bad leg. I limp so it's probably not as light as a normal person could walk. if she heard anything it was me. Everyone else was asleep and I was in my chair with my leg propped up watching twitch most the night. I can only do so much. I'm not going to make myself uncomfortable by tip toeing around my own apartment that I pay for. But if it really kept you up all night why did you wait until 5 AM to say something?
​
I sent an email to the office and asked to swap apartment because I don't want to disturb them anymore and I know two ground floor apartments are going to open up over here soon. But I know they aren't going to let me. The office staff is the least professional group of people I've ever met and they don't like work.
​
And don't get me wrong... I mean I get it. I know it's an old apartment complex. It's poorly insulated. and I'm sorry if they really do hear noise from up here. but what else can I do? I'm seriously not making much, if any noise. The only thing that's making any noise is my fan. but I can't imagine how they could be hearing that. I'm doing the best I can. When you move into a bottom apartment isn't a little bit of noise to be expected? I would understand if we were really being disruptive, playing loud music, barking, or even running around and playing all night I could see where that kind of thing would be disruptive. But we aren't. I wake up in the afternoon, do my cleaning, cooking, until 9 or 10 and then sit down and watch twitch until i'm tired enough to go back to bed sometime in the morning. I'm depressed as hell, I literally have no desire to do anything. Unfortunately I do still care about others.
​
The person on my right has told me to not worry about it, she's told me they complain about everyone. And honestly that statement was proven as for the couple weeks they were doing laundry at my apartment. The woman started to buddy up to me and complain about other residents. I suspect at least part of the complaints are really because I no longer letting them use my laundry. But it still makes me feel bad. Suggestions? i don't know what to do to make these people happy.
​
All i really want is to be left alone and in peace. I try to be quiet. I try to be as helpful and respectful as I can be to other people. I don't ask anything of anyone. I don't complain. when my apartment needs a repair I usually don't even call maintance if it's not an emergency because I don't want to bother anyone. what am i supposed to do? maybe it's the depression but more and more things just keep going wrong and those dark thoughts keep creeping in. i don't know what to do anymore.

hi! this post is an precursor to a theory me and a few others in the hsr community have been working on for months that i wanted to share.
to first establish the basis of this analysis / theory, barbelo is the real-life aeon of permanence, embodying the very concept of "stasis" and perfection as well as the androgynous one, the "mother" of other aeons and one of the precursors of babalon, the thelemaism goddess as well as babylon the great.
while, in honkai star rail, long (龙) is the aeon of permanence, one of THEIR "emanations", dan feng / dan heng has many partial inspirations to barbeinfluences in the great and babalon as well as various other mother deities, especially from hinduism, buddhism (tantric) and greek mythos.
this specific post, however, only really focuses on barbelo as the whole theory — which we call the Dan Feng / Mater Magma : the Revelations of The Xianzhou theory — contains unreleased content currently and is frankly too long at its current state for Reddit.
now, dan feng carries the same "triple androgynous name" imagery barbelo does through the known three names of imbibator lunae, as well as their meaning behind the names.
yubie is kalpytos, the hidden one — the known strongest, the one who the audience knows the less about and the one who carries the unknown "potential" behind his and shuhu's lore. dan feng is protophanes, the first appearing one — he's the one who first formed an identity outside of 'imbibator lunae' and the first stepping stone to dan heng's identity. dan heng is autogenes, the self actualised one — the true manifestion of dan feng as an individual, as a person and is formed from his own experiences and desires, rather than the expectations of the Preceptors.
another aspect of this analysis is also the idea of being a creator of other "aeons" or in this particular case, the creator of the new ichor line (this is connected to the babalon aspect and will be explained in the 3rd part).
it can be stated that bailu effectively works similarly to an emanation, born of dan feng who took an aspect of him and narrowed down on a certain interpretation of that power, similarly to how barbelo imposed power across other emanations.
barbelo also has connections to eternal life and the concept of water, especially primal waters. this is especially relevant as dan feng also carries those connotations. in the ireneaus book, "against heresies", chapter 29, book 1, it is stated that barbelos is the one that caused "eternal life" to be created from the monad, demanding that they are created for her to accompany her, similarly to how dan feng "created" eternal life. barbelo was also said to be created from primal waters when monad looked at THEIR reflections in the sea like how dan feng has connections to waters creating 'life'
barbelo also has sexual references, similarly to how dan feng also does (however, this aspect is way more relevant for the babalon section)
it is claimed by epiphanius that barbelo represents the idea of sexual libertinism with other researchers noting that tantric rituals were used to achieve henosis or 'spiritual oneness' through barbelo, which also partially explains his more sexual aspects in game.
all in all, there is quite a bit of gnostic influences in dan feng, regarding barbelo alone and i will release the full theory when 2.3 drops. thank you for reading!

Cases involving incorrect auto repairs typically fall under the domain of consumer protection law or product liability law. The type of lawyer who handles these cases is usually referred to as a consumer protection attorney or a product liability attorney. These lawyers specialize in cases where consumers have been wronged by businesses, including those involving defective products or services, such as auto repairs.
Responsibilities and Payment of Fees

1. Identifying Responsibility:Repair Shop: If the repair shop is still in business, they would generally be the primary party responsible for rectifying the issue or compensating for damages caused by the incorrect repairs.Manufacturer or Distributor: If the incorrect repair was due to a faulty part, the manufacturer or distributor of that part could also be held liable.
2. Repair Shop Out of Business:If the repair shop is no longer in business, recovering damages can be more complicated. Potential avenues for compensation include:Insurance Claims: If the repair shop had liability insurance, you might be able to file a claim with their insurer.Surety Bonds: Some states require repair shops to carry surety bonds, which can be a source of compensation if the business closes.Bankruptcy Proceedings: If the repair shop filed for bankruptcy, you could file a claim in the bankruptcy proceedings, though this can be a lengthy and uncertain process.Manufacturer Liability: If the issue can be traced to a defective part, you might have a case against the manufacturer or distributor of that part.
3. Paying Legal Fees:Contingency Fee Arrangement: Many consumer protection attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win the case or settle. Their fee is a percentage of the recovery amount.Out-of-Pocket Fees: Some lawyers might require an upfront retainer or hourly fees, especially if the case is complex or if a contingency arrangement is not feasible.Fee Shifting: In some cases, if you win the lawsuit, the court may order the defendant to pay your legal fees. This is more common in cases involving clear violations of consumer protection laws.

Steps to Take

1. Document Everything: Keep all records related to the repair, including receipts, communication with the repair shop, and any subsequent repairs needed.
2. Get a Second Opinion: Obtain an independent assessment of the repairs to establish that the work was incorrect and caused additional damage.
3. Consult a Lawyer: Speak with a consumer protection or product liability attorney to evaluate your case and discuss the best course of action.

By consulting with a specialized attorney such as Business Lawyer Centerville Utah, you can better understand your rights and the potential for recovering damages, even if the original repair shop is no longer in business.

Minutes feel like entire hours while I wait for GalaxyTaco to return, and my anxiety is just mounting up like crazy! So instead of becoming a victim of my own fear, I decide to take a moment to explore the forum and see what I can find that's interesting!

The Sleeper section is by far the most active, with people commenting on their daily lives, talking about media, food and experiences in general. It’s so casual it almost makes me feel nostalgic for the good ol’ days!

I am… surprised. Mages watch anime too? I guess that makes sense, as magic is usually viewed as an intellectual endeavor, and it is not rare for intellectuals to have this sorta hobby.

“They even have an old timer section, for old timers like you.”

What? Old timer!? I am 21!

“Alright then, youngster. What anime is popular right now?”

Chlorine is pretty popular!

“That’s one of the Big Three and won’t stop being popular for a while, not to mention it’s all filler these days, that’s cheating.”

Alright then, big baby. How about Soul Devourer?

“That ended three years ago.”

What!? No it didn’t!

What about Ouran??

“Five years ago.”

Higurashi?

“Six.”

Lucky Channel?!

“Five.”

MEDUKA MEGUKA??

“Oh that one’s pretty new actually. That one was last year.”

Alright then smart guy, what is airing right now then!?

“Destiny/Zero, Girls and Tanks, Kitty Tale Black, Moon Brothers…”

What in the hell are any of those!?

“If you don’t know, I know even less! Idiot!”

I guess I am a bit of an old fashioned weeb.

“We are getting distracted. Remember what we are here for.”

Right! The Translation section! It’s rather unused, compared to the Sleeper side of it all. There are a few active translation topics but all of them seem to be focused on actual, current languages. Sure, there are a few in old Helenian and Latin but the others are surprisingly modern. Thereare some in Wohlian that immediately get my attention, but they seem like finished works.

Mostly directed by that ‘souseiseki’ bitch.

“Don’t waste time thinking of her. Focus on what you can learn from the books themselves!”

That is a good point. Once they are fully translated, the material is left available for anyone to take it! So I immediately go for the ones in Wohlian and Dobrand.

There are only five texts available, biographies all of them… except for what looks like a flier.

‘El Arte del Contrahechizo’ it read in Hesperian, ‘The Art of Counterspell’ in Dobrand. It apparently was an advertisement for a short lived ‘Combat Spell Course’ in Hesperia? Closed by the ‘Brotherhood’ for ‘breaking the sanctity of the secret’. Maybe this ‘Brotherhood’ is somewhat related to the cloaks.

Nevertheless, there is something in the flier that interests me: a Symbol!
Rune 6
I immediately start looking for it in the book… and what I find was overwhelming. This has to be the single most used symbol I’ve seen so far! It is in a lot of combined words, almost never on its own… but after keeping my eyes narrowed for a while, I find it.

Jo

As in “Hoh” or as in “Yo”? Bah, I guess I’ll find that out later, when I can actually start experimenting on my own.

Ah, damn it that’s right! I do need to go investigate the library! It’s huge too…

Hmm… What if I made a trip out of it?

The library closes at 12 for students, but if you stay inside you can spend the night working there! I could spend all night surrounded by books, coffee and the sandwiches some people sell there…

“That could mess with your sleeping schedule a bit…”

“Not to mention how useless the whole endeavor can be. What if you don’t find the damn golden symbol, huh?”

Won’t know if I try. This will be my last night staying up, I promise!

“Hmmmn… well, if you are sure about it.”

Yes!

Feeling energy surging through my body again, I immediately get up again and look for clothes, fishing for some cash and then trotting out of my room… only to be stopped by that Saints damned door again.

I swear, every time I see it’s worse. It becomes more and more ominous with each attempt to pass through it. I really, really have been going out too much these days, huh…?

“...I better talk with GalaxyTaco first, then I can go to the library.”

“Coward.”

“I can’t talk to them without the TER anyways.”

Walking back to the computer, I internally beg for GalaxyTaco to not have appeared on my contact list yet… but alas, fate is always working against me. There he is, right there. Well, at least I can solve this quickly and still get out in time… Maybe.

xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx has begun messaging GalaxyTaco to your rescue!
xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: H-Hey!

I immediately cringe at myself for that written hesitation. Damn it, keep the emotions inside! Why must I be like this!?

xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: This is Tav, you know, from the forum? n.ñ
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: oh hey dude! nice, I was wondering who the hell was this lol
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: ok, now we can talk proper.
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: so… you just found the link somewhere, didn’t you?
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: unless I’m totally wrong and you were just referred by some cold mf

Alright. This is it… where do I go from here? I can’t exactly lie my way out of this without knowing much of the magical world. But that doesn’t mean I have to say all of the truth, right?

xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: …yeah u.u
xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: I haven’t been Awake for a long time to be honest, and I found this link on a book I read at the local library.
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: ahhhh shit.
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: ok, that’s trouble
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: do you have a teacher?
xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: No u.u
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: ok, you’re a bastard
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: not to imply anything about your family dude, that’s just how we call mages without teachers.
xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: Ok that’s kinda mean xD
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: tell me about it.
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: anyways, shit, uh…
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: ok, do you know what an Elysium is?

I don’t. But can I just admit that? I mean… maybe I can tell him I know where to look for it?

“What are you, stupid!? He’s assuming you know jack shit! This is your chance to squeeze all the information! MILK IT!”

A-Ah! Right!

xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: No idea. I hope you don’t mean the other world? O.o
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: nope.
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: an Elysium is a safeground in a city, a place where mages can go and practice legally.
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: shit, I hope you haven’t been doing magic around people right???
xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: No no! O.o I swear!
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: ok good.
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: that’d get you in trouble with the Brotherhood in no time.
xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: The Brotherhood? o.o
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: The Brotherood of Black Pages.
xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: Ominous… are they like, magic police? .-.
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: sorta
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: you wanna avoid them as much as you can, them black cloaks.
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: I mean, you won’t be able to avoid them if you wanna get your license but, beyond that, avoid them.

Ok, that’s confirmation of a few suspicions. The Elysium is a place, I need to find that place, and the black cloaks/brotherhood were bad news, probably super strict or something like that. I am a ‘Bastard Mage’, still not very happy about the name, and I should look for instruction before I blow myself up!

xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: Can’t you teach me things? ;w; the meaning of these runes and stuff?
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: sorry dude, I don’t have a teacher’s license
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: but tell you what. I’ll get you something that will help you for sure!
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: I just gotta talk to a few friends.
xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: Oh okay! Good! n.n thank you so much for this, Gal
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: hah, it’s no problem
xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: Imma be outside of the TER for a while so, don’t talk to me about magics until I return, okay?
GalaxyTaco to your rescue!: arite, thanks for the heads up! gives me time to talk to Aoi and Mort
xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: Ok I assume those are your friends!
xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx: I’ll be seeing you later!
xXxCallMeBigCookiexXx has disconnected.

Alright.

No more excuses. I close my computer, take a deep breath and walk to my door. I try my best to ignore the shaking of my hand as I grab the knob and open up. The air in the hallways outside was cold, making me go back in, pick up my long coat and then right out I went again!

The descent in the elevator had never felt this slow…I am excited and nervous at the same time.

“This will be fun!”

“This will be a disaster. You’ll stay up for nothing, you hear me? Nothing.”

Taking a deep breath, I walk out of the elevator as it arrives at the first floor and wave at the night guard, stepping right out and checking my phone.

It’s already a quarter past eleven. I have time… but I may need to call a taxi.


Cities are completely different at night. I have never been an active resident of Party City or anything, but I have been in the streets at the high hours of night, at least back in my old town. I assumed stuff would be quiet here too in Saüle, but turns out I was completely wrong. There were people stumbling around the streets, ladies of the night smiling and parading themselves in some of the corners, a few college students clubbing and singing…

Only now I remember we are technically on vacation. Of course everyone is partying!

Drat, does that mean the library will be closed!?

“Too late to ask the cab to take you back home. No, you'll just have to freeze for a few hours.”

The taxi leaves me in front of the University’s main entrance. After paying and waving the guy away, I let out a deep sigh of relief when I see that the lights of the place are still on.

So either they leave the lights on all vacation or they are still open despite it all.

I try to jog along the dirt trail, straight for the library! But I quickly realize my body is simply not made for running. I still try to keep the pace, panting and gasping for air. Passing right by the Pharmaceutical Sciences building and the Biology building, feeling lucky that no one can see me fighting for my life like this.

The campus is gigantic, with many different buildings focused on the different sciences and disciplines taught at the University. The Library stands in the middle of it all, a perfectly square, five story building comfortably constructed on a plateau and looking over the entire campus. As cool and impressive as that is, it also meant a long climb a massive set of stairs…

“Saints damn it all…”

It’s a miserable jog, but eventually, I make it to the gates before the Librarian closes. An ancient lady of dark skin and thin white hair, eternally dressed in a black, long dress.

“Hmph. Right on time, night owl.” She says with a mix of annoyance and playfulness in her tone, turning her back on me as soon as she closed the door. “Do not run like that inside.”

Still recovering my breath, I just nod and walk towards the machines that scan your credentials. I fish my wallet out of my pockets, scan my old card, and then walk straight in, looking around the main hall with a tired smile. Ah yes… I've always felt more at ease in libraries and the like, especially when there are no crowds of people around. Right now I could see only a few furtive shadows sliding around, and no sandwich sellers at all! With some luck, the librarian will try to gain a few extra Empires by selling stuff, but that will have to wait.
Right now, we are back on the hunt for the Golden Symbol! I need to focus all of my strength on finding it this time, because if they really want it to be both private and easy to find, it has to be here.

Stress is an inevitable part of life, but its excessive presence can wreak havoc on our physical and mental well-being. Recent research has shed light on the profound effects of stress on our health, highlighting the need for effective management strategies. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the latest findings on stress and explore actionable steps to mitigate its detrimental impacts.
Understanding the Science Behind Stress: Recent studies have deepened our understanding of the physiological mechanisms underlying stress. Cortisol, commonly known as the stress hormone, plays a central role in the body’s stress response. Chronic stress leads to persistently elevated cortisol levels, triggering a cascade of negative effects such as increased blood glucose, insulin resistance, and abdominal weight gain.
Moreover, stress has been linked to various health issues, including cardiovascular diseases, immune system dysfunction, digestive disorders, and mental health conditions like anxiety and depression. The latest research underscores the urgent need to address stress as a significant contributor to these health problems.
Latest Research Insights: Recent studies have provided compelling evidence of the detrimental effects of stress on health. One study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association found that chronic stress significantly increases the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, including heart attacks and strokes.
Furthermore, research published in Psychoneuroendocrinology revealed a strong correlation between chronic stress and immune system dysfunction, making individuals more susceptible to infections and inflammatory conditions.
Another groundbreaking study in Frontiers in Psychiatry highlighted the role of stress in exacerbating mental health disorders, emphasizing the importance of early intervention and effective stress management techniques.
Effective Strategies for Stress Management: Fortunately, there are several evidence-based strategies for managing stress and improving overall well-being. These include:

1. Mindfulness and Meditation: Engaging in mindfulness practices, such as meditation and deep breathing exercises, can help reduce stress levels and promote relaxation.
2. Regular Exercise: Physical activity has been shown to alleviate stress by releasing endorphins, the body’s natural mood boosters. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week.
3. Quality Sleep: Prioritize sleep hygiene by establishing a consistent sleep schedule, creating a relaxing bedtime routine, and optimizing your sleep environment to ensure restorative sleep.
4. Nutritious Diet: Consuming a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains can support your body’s ability to cope with stress. Avoid excessive caffeine, sugar, and processed foods, which can exacerbate stress levels.
5. Supplements: Certain supplements, such as ashwagandha, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids, have been shown to have stress-reducing properties. Consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating supplements into your routine.
6. Social Support: Cultivate strong social connections with friends, family, and community members to provide emotional support and encouragement during stressful times.

In conclusion, the latest research underscores the significant impact of stress on our health and well-being. By understanding the science behind stress and adopting effective management strategies, we can mitigate its negative effects and improve overall quality of life. Prioritizing self-care, seeking social support, and implementing healthy lifestyle habits are key steps towards achieving resilience in the face of stress. Take proactive steps today to protect your health and well-being for years to come.

Problem Description:
I'm encountering an issue with the "Broken Mining Unit" mob from the Scorched Bronze Guns mod in Minecraft. When the mob is killed manually with a sword, it drops the expected items (copper and zinc). However, when it dies from other causes such as traps or other mobs, it only drops a single cogwheel item instead of the expected drops.
Steps Taken:

1. Attempted to modify the mob's loot table using the following command:plaintextCode kopieren /execute as u/e[type=scguns:broken_mining_unit] run data merge entity u/s {DeathLootTable:"scguns:entities/broken_mining_unit"}
2. Tried to directly set the drop items of the mob using this command:plaintextCode kopieren /execute as u/e[type=scguns:broken_mining_unit, limit=1] run data merge entity u/s {HandItems:[{id:"scguns:copper",Count:1}, {id:"scguns:zinc",Count:1}]}

Outcome:
While the commands execute successfully without errors, the behavior of the mob remains unchanged. It still drops only a cogwheel item when killed by means other than manual sword attacks.
Request for Assistance:
I would appreciate any insights or suggestions on how to ensure that the "Broken Mining Unit" mob consistently drops its expected items regardless of how it is killed. If anyone has encountered a similar issue or knows of alternative approaches to address this problem within the Scorched Bronze Guns mod, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your help!

Hello Apes.
Back with another review of all the tweets sent from memelord and cat inspiration, Roaring Kitty.
If you missed my first review for 13th May, you can find it here.
To reiterate, the description of each tweet is to the best of my knowledge the references made and the speculation is pure speculation on my part, this is just for fun and shouldn't be taken as any financial advice, make your own decisions, I just like the stock. If you have anything to add feel free to in the comments and I'll do my best to update the post.
11am - https://x.com/TheRoaringKitty/status/1790396654971224430
Description: The infamous scene from the movie Troy where Achilles rather reluctantly at first, comes forward to fight the mighty Boagrius. Achilles runs at him, defending against a few spear throws then with one epic jump and slide, stabs Boagrius with this blade killing him in one clean strike. The music dubbed on this clip is Counting Bodies Like Sheep To The Rhythm of the War Drums by A Perfect Circle.
Speculation: Chosen warrior blessed by the gods comes forward in front of the masses and takes out the big baddie. You could make the speculation that the song could reference something to do with DRS (A Perfect Circle) and SHFs bleeding out (counting bodies like sheep).
11.30am - https://x.com/TheRoaringKitty/status/1790404203715887238
Description: First of all we have a cat talking to itself in the mirror stating the words, "Don't be the bigger person today, be the person that helps them understand that sometimes when you f**k around, we find out...". We then cut to arrested development where Buster who is portrayed as a bear has something to say, "i wanna shoot down everything you say, so i feel good about myself. cause i'm an uptight [insert copious amounts of swearing].
Speculation: First part DFV knows they (Shorts) have messed around again and have been doing it dirty. The gig is up again, time to close and pay up. The second part is a funny scene from arrested development where Buster, a character who just cannot fit in properly goes AWAL to try and show he has a nasty side, it just comes across as way too far. DFV just poking fun at bears here no doubt.
12:00pm - https://x.com/TheRoaringKitty/status/1790411757120561628
Description: First we have a scene from The Town where Doug says to James, "I need your help. I can't tell you what it is, you can never ask me about it later, and we're gonna hurt some people." and James replies, "Who's car are we going to take?" Then it cuts to Mad Max where there are a load of sand buggy cars going nuts with flame throwers and all sorts of chaos with the song Du Hast by Rammstein playing in the background.
Speculation: I haven't seen the Town but from reading online this scene showed the amazing friendship between Doug and James when James simply replies, who's car are we going to take? in response to what sounds like a risky ask for help from Doug. Then with Mad Max: Fury Road we have a film about a post apocalyptic survivor in Max Rockatansky who eventually brings down a warlords Citadel (hmmm).
12:30pm - https://x.com/TheRoaringKitty/status/1790419301976903884
Description: First we have the whistling of Omar from The Wire, then we have a scene from the Kingsmen where they are locked in a pub with Galahad and the quote "Manners maketh man" and finally we have a scene from Oldboy with a big fight scene cut alongside some anime which is from demon slayer
Speculation: The whistling is synonymous with Omar and is to the tune of a nursery rhyme, "the farmer in the dell", anyone that watched The Wire would know instantly that this means Omar is coming and this means you best get out the way as he is coming with his double-barreled shotgun and he certainly won't hesitate to use it. The Kingsmen scene where they are locked in the pub is a particularly violent scene and it's an interesting film to reference, the plot *Film spoiler here* is essentially about a boy named Eggsy from a lower-class neighbourhood who's father dies and he finds out that his father was part of an elite inner circle of upper class. After trying to be part of this group, Eggsy discovers their secret plot to take over the world and takes it into his own hands to save the day. u/ ThePhenomNoku talks about the last 2 referenced films; "So the anime is demon slayer. It’s about a kid who has everything taken from him and trains to learn how to fight demons. Though as a sidenote he kind of carries one around with him. It’s complicated.The other movie with the guy holding the person, & the fight scene is the original Oldboy, and without giving too much of the plot away it’s about a dude who is falsely imprisoned for a couple of years or so, and then enacts his revenge."
1:00pm - https://x.com/TheRoaringKitty/status/1790426851409817615
Description: Firstly we have the scene from Oceans 11 where Danny Ocean is chatting to Rusty Ryan right in the initial stage of their plan to heist the casino. He talks about how it's never been done before, will need planning and a large crew and Ryan asks if they are going to use guns, he replies "not exactly, there's lots of security" and finally Ryan asks "what's the target?". We then cut to a film i'm not aware (anyone help here?) of where an older gentleman shows a calculator to a young woman and the calculator says "Just up" on it then the woman says "yes that looks correct"
Speculation: In Oceans 11 there was a lot of planning and variables that had to happen for everything to work. It was a high risk high reward plan with a lot set up to go against but it's possible. The target has always been "just up", DFV just reiterating what he said in the first place.

Description: First we have a scene from Old School where he states, "A loophole?" "Yes. Well, it's interesting, sir. As stupid as they appear, they're actually very good at paperwork. It's quite an anomaly." then it cuts to a scene from the same film with the C&C factory everybody dance now song and a cheerleading dance attempt
Speculation: Of course with the loophole stuff it could be about all of the DD that has been done on what has gone on over the years but it could equally be about SHFs finding loopholes to get out of the mess they are in with the stock. The second part the judges clearly don't feel the attempt of the cheerleading or gymnastics piece they are portraying is any good but they are giving it a go and it's suppose to a comedy. Note the school is the cougars, cat links again of course.

Description: The first part is taken from The Batman and has Batman's monologue running and when the Batman signal is fired into the sky, a kitty shadow is shown instead of the Batman logo. It ends with an emphasis on "Fear is a Tool".
Speculation: Batman was of course a good hero who would rid the streets of criminals, they would scare just at the sight of the batman signal being fired knowing that they were about to get wrecked. In this clip, two years has been replaced with three years in the monologue and the kitty signal is of course a nice touch.

Description: This clip is taken from Mr Robot and is where Elliot plays eXit, a text based computer game that requires him to answer a series of questions in a text based game.
Speculation: I think it's best just to give the description of what happens in this scene taken from the fandom page. Elliot chooses to sit down with the friend in the dungeon. He lights a match and reads the note "Don't leave me here." Elliot chooses to stay. The alarm shuts off. An explosion happens nearby. Robot opens the door to find a fire raging outside. He concludes it's too late. Both of them sit down. They each say "I love you." Explosions rage around the room. "It's an exciting time in the world," Elliot says. Fade to red. Take from that what you will.

Description: This scene is taken from the movie Scream (2022), a direct sequel to Scream 4. A lot of the text has been changed but to summarize, one person states "he is making a requel" then there is some talk about the squeeze movie that came out last year and how most people in the actual know hated it and how "squeeze mid" pissed on their "covidhood", how the main character is a mary sue? Then a few cuts of Scream and how real squeeze movies have meta slasher whodunnits and that to some people the original is their favorite thing in the world
Speculation: A requel is A movie which revisits the subject matter of an earlier film but is not a remake or a linear continuation of its plot (i.e. a sequel or prequel). So essentially what is happening right now with the stock is not exactly the same of what has happened before but it is essentially a revisit of the same subject regarding squeezes. A mid squeeze implies that it wasn't as high as the squeeze could have gone and the theme of slashers and murdered people really suggests heads will roll (SHFs hopefully).
3:30pm - https://x.com/TheRoaringKitty/status/1790464599575167004
Description: This is a scene from Candyman where he has come for the woman. There is some cat flashes and images going on and the Woman in this is tagged as a bear (that is someone who is down on a stock or market, usually would short). Candyman talks about how there is no need for the bear to leave yet and that he was obliged to come then he says "be my victim" and a bumble bee comes out of the word be.
Speculation: Time is running out for the bear, they can hang around for a while longer but they will be the victim. This is more of the DFV is coming for you as he dresses himself up as a rampaging murderer targeting the bear in this case. Not sure on the bee, whether that is DFV just having some fun or if it's that a sting is coming in some sense.
4:00pm - https://x.com/TheRoaringKitty/status/1790472153470759217
Description: Taken from No Country for Old Men, Carson states he is a day trader and that Anton doesn't have to do this (Anton is going to kill him) tell him he could just go home. Carson continues that Anton could have 14 grand out of an ATM and just walk away before finally stating "do you have any idea how crazy you are?". Anton replies, "you mean the nature of these memes?" to which Carson says "I mean the nature of you!" The scene ends with the phone ringing.
Speculation: DFV putting himself into the mode of Anton from No Country for Old Men is quite the statement. For those who haven't seen this movie, Anton is a wrecking ball of a killer and adheres by his rulebook to seek out different people through the movie to take out. Carson being the desperate short seller here who is not understanding why DFV isn't just playing by the usual financial rules and taking his gains and going. The phone ringing at end could be an implication of margin calls ringing for the desperate short seller.
8:00pm - https://x.com/TheRoaringKitty/status/1790532552828289526
Description: This is taken from Braveheart and the prisoner (William Wallace) is asked to say a word in a famous scene where WW shouts "FREEEEDOM" only in this clip its "GAMESTOOOOOOOP".
Speculation: This is the first direct reference to Gamestop word for word and it should be noted that this is the scene where William Wallace is about to be executed. Could mean that DFV is willing to risk it all for Gamestop like William Wallace martyring himself for the freedom of Scotland.
Hope you enjoyed.
Love ya DFV

Hello everyone!
Today, we're talking about a crucial aspect of heart health - cholesterol tests. These tests measure different types of fats in your blood and can give you a good idea of your risk for heart disease. Let’s break down what LDL, HDL, and triglycerides are, what they mean, and how you can keep them in healthy ranges.

What is Cholesterol?

Cholesterol is a type of fat found in your blood. Your body needs some cholesterol to work properly, but too much can increase your risk of heart disease. There are different types of cholesterol, and not all of them are bad.

Key Cholesterol Tests:

1. LDL Cholesterol (Low-Density Lipoprotein)

• What It Is: Often called "bad" cholesterol because high levels can lead to a buildup of cholesterol in your arteries.
• Normal Range: Less than 100 mg/dL is optimal.
• What High Levels Mean: High LDL levels can increase your risk of heart disease and stroke.
• How to Lower It: Eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, avoid smoking, and consider medications if prescribed by your doctor.

2. HDL Cholesterol (High-Density Lipoprotein)

• What It Is: Known as "good" cholesterol because it helps remove LDL cholesterol from your arteries.
• Normal Range: 60 mg/dL or higher is considered protective against heart disease.
• What Low Levels Mean: Low HDL levels can increase your risk of heart disease.
• How to Raise It: Exercise regularly, eat healthy fats (like those in fish, nuts, and olive oil), and avoid smoking.

3. Triglycerides

• What They Are: A type of fat found in your blood. Your body uses them for energy, but too many can be unhealthy.
• Normal Range: Less than 150 mg/dL is considered normal.
• What High Levels Mean: High triglyceride levels can increase your risk of heart disease and pancreatitis.
• How to Lower Them: Eat a healthy diet, reduce sugar and refined carbs, limit alcohol, and exercise regularly.

Why These Tests Matter:

• Heart Health: High cholesterol levels can lead to heart disease, heart attacks, and strokes.
• Early Detection: Regular cholesterol tests can help catch problems early, so you can take steps to improve your heart health.

Tips for Maintaining Healthy Cholesterol Levels:

1. Eat a Heart-Healthy Diet: Focus on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
2. Stay Active: Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week.
3. Maintain a Healthy Weight: Losing weight can help lower LDL and triglycerides and raise HDL.
4. Avoid Smoking: Smoking lowers HDL and increases your risk of heart disease.
5. Limit Alcohol: Drinking too much alcohol can raise your triglycerides and increase your risk of heart disease.

When to Get Tested:

• Regular Check-Ups: Adults should have their cholesterol checked every 4-6 years. Those with heart disease risk factors may need more frequent testing.
• Family History: If you have a family history of heart disease, talk to your doctor about more frequent testing.
• Lifestyle Changes: If you’ve made significant lifestyle changes, such as losing weight or changing your diet, you may want to get tested to see how these changes have affected your cholesterol levels.

Conclusion:

Understanding your cholesterol levels is key to maintaining heart health. Regular testing and healthy lifestyle choices can help you keep your cholesterol in check and reduce your risk of heart disease. If you have any questions or personal experiences with managing cholesterol, share them in the comments. Your insights can help others who are on the same journey to better heart health.

The prospect of immigrating to a new country can be both exciting and daunting. It represents a chance to chase dreams, explore new horizons, and build a fulfilling life. However, the immigration process itself can seem like a labyrinth of complex procedures and unfamiliar terminology. Here at Adric Immigration Consultants
in Bangalore, we’re dedicated to empowering you with knowledge and guidance throughout this journey.
This comprehensive guide serves as your roadmap to navigating the essential steps of the immigration process, providing clarity and demystifying the path ahead.
Step 1: Identifying Your Goals and Visa Options
The first step is to clearly define your aspirations. Are you seeking temporary work opportunities, pursuing higher education, or aiming for permanent residency? Understanding your goals will steer you towards the most suitable visa category.
Common Immigration Objectives and Corresponding Visas:

• Short-Term Stays: Tourist visas (B-1/B-2) are ideal for visiting family, attending conferences, or sightseeing.
• Work Opportunities: Work visas like H-1B (specialty occupations), TN (professionals under NAFTA), or L-1 (intracompany transfers) cater to those seeking employment abroad.
• Education: Student visas (F-1) are essential for pursuing academic programs at accredited institutions.
• Family Reunification: Family-based visas allow U.S. citizens or permanent residents to sponsor immediate family members for permanent residency.
• Permanent Residency: Employment-based and family-based immigrant visas pave the way for establishing permanent residence in a new country.

Researching Visa Options:
Each visa category has specific eligibility requirements, application procedures, and processing timelines. Utilize the official government websites of your target country for the most up-to-date information. Here are some helpful resources:

• U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS): https://www.uscis.gov/
• U.S. Department of State Travel.gov: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas.html
• Canadian Government Immigration Website: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada.html
• Australian Government Immigration Website: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/

Immigration laws are intricate and constantly evolving. Partnering with a reputable immigration consultant like Adric Immigration Consultants can significantly benefit your journey. Our experienced professionals can:

• Assist with gathering and preparing required documentation.
• Offer personalized advice and support throughout the application process.

Step 2: Preparing the Necessary Documentation
Once you’ve identified the relevant visa category, meticulous document preparation becomes crucial. Common documents required for most visa applications include:

• Valid Passport: Ensure your passport has sufficient validity (usually 6 months beyond your intended stay).
• Proof of Identity: Birth certificate, marriage certificate, or other government-issued ID documents.
• Financial Documentation: Proof of financial resources to support yourself during your stay (bank statements, tax returns, employment records).
• Medical Examination Results: Specific medical examinations may be mandated depending on the visa type and destination country.
• Educational Credentials: Diplomas, transcripts, and certificates for work or student visas.
• Job Offer (if applicable): For work visas, a valid job offer from a sponsoring employer in the host country is essential.
• Affidavit of Support (if applicable): In some cases, a U.S. citizen or permanent resident sponsor may need to provide an affidavit of support demonstrating their financial capability to support the applicant.

Meeting Specific Requirements:
Each visa category might have additional documentation requirements. It’s crucial to meticulously review the specific guidelines for your chosen visa to ensure you submit all necessary documents.
Obtaining Certified Documents:
Certain documents might require translation by a certified translator and official legalization or apostille seals from the issuing authority. Plan accordingly to avoid delays in the application process.
Step 3: Completing the Application Process
Visa applications typically involve online forms and submission of supporting documentation. Here’s a general breakdown of the process:

• Online Application Forms: Most countries require completing online visa application forms electronically. These forms often ask detailed questions about your background, travel history, and purpose of travel.
• Application Fees: Government fees associated with visa applications must be paid before submitting your application.
• Biometric Data Collection (Fingerprints and Photographs): Schedule an appointment at a designated application support center (ASC) for fingerprint scans and photograph capture if required for your visa category.
• Interview Preparation (For certain visa categories, a visa interview with a consular officer at a U.S. embassy or consulate is mandatory. Adric Immigration Consultants can equip you with the knowledge and confidence to successfully navigate these interviews. Here are some tips:
  
• Dress professionally and arrive on time.
  
  • Review your application thoroughly and be prepared to answer questions about it.
  • Speak clearly and concisely.
  • Be honest and truthful in your responses.
  • Bring all the required documents to the interview.

Step 4: Awaiting the Decision and Potential Next Steps
Processing times for visa applications can vary significantly depending on the visa category, workload of the processing center, and individual circumstances. Once you submit your application, you will receive a tracking number or case ID to monitor the status online.
Approval: If your application is approved, you will receive your visa electronically or affixed to your passport. Carefully review the validity period and any conditions associated with your visa.
Denial: If your application is denied, a notification will be issued explaining the reason for denial. In such cases, consulting with your immigration consultant is crucial. Depending on the reason for denial, you might be able to reapply after addressing the issues or explore alternative visa options.
Administrative Processing: Sometimes, applications require additional administrative processing, which can extend the waiting period. Stay patient and maintain open communication with your immigration consultant during this time.
Step 5: Entering the New Country and Maintaining Status
Once you receive your visa and make travel arrangements, ensure you have all necessary documents readily available for border crossing. Upon arrival, a border officer will verify your documents and grant entry for the authorized period.
Maintaining Visa Status: For temporary visas, it’s crucial to comply with the conditions and duration of your stay. Overstaying your visa can have serious consequences, including deportation and ineligibility for future visas.
Transitioning to Permanent Residency: For those pursuing permanent residency, the process often involves additional steps after initial entry, such as obtaining a green card (U.S.) or permanent resident card (Canada). Adric Immigration Consultants can guide you through these subsequent procedures.
