sweatshopslings https://imgur.com/a/75ggP66 I took a chance on some "Vietnam Tiger Stripe" webbing and it is definitely imported and not true VTS pattern. That being said, the material is still good so I whipped up some slings and will keep them on until they are gone.

2YOG Pouches https://imgur.com/a/kWyxtfr This is a spinoff of the YOG pouch I made previously to have 2 separate compartments, sized to slightly larger than 3x AR PMAGs. These were each mounted once then I pulled them off because I want to get a little crazy with the design. There is still the rear insert area that is sized for 2x AR mags. I don't have inserts made but if you need one I can make and add it on for an additional $10.

DNC prototype blow out pouch https://imgur.com/a/TGMrZX6 Same size as the LBT, but I wanted a pouch I could mount vertically on my cummerbund, hence the 90-degree rotated MOLLE on the rear. It is still able to be slid horizontally onto a belt and there is ~3" of clearance in that space. The pull tab is from a different pouch (LBT maybe idk) and is not made by me. $25 shipped.
RG Eagle Operator's Belt https://imgur.com/a/YxjAKD9 Size Small. This was on my kit for a few years but left the basement maybe a handful of times and it's in good shape. Does not come with the inner belt. Comes with my Prototype Dirt Chomper TQ holder. $80 shipped.

I added the bungee and pull tabs (made from ATACS FG-X webbing which is close to the AOR2), not tied down so you can adjust it. Asking $65 shipped. If you need skinny/back straps and the male buckles I can whip those up with Ranger Green webbing and add them in for an extra $10.
Holsters and misc https://imgur.com/a/G47ElYE

Anyways if you made it this far thanks for looking and my FAQs are next!
FAQ
Where are all your things made? By me, on my 1940s sewing machine, in my craft room.
What materials do you use? For the most part, everything is made in the USA and Berry compliant. Generally speaking, I use the following: AA55301 or MIL-17337 webbing; Berry compliant 500D Cordura; MIL-W-5664 elastic; Berry compliant 550 paracord; Berry compliant shock cord; either Velcro and/or generic hook and loop; and ITW or Duraflex hardware. There may be some outliers. All my thread is a TEX 75 heavy duty thread from a US company.
What will the slings fit through? Anything that has a 1" slot, whether it's a QD, HK clip, plastic clip, rifle sling mount, paracord, zip ties, etc.
How do I install this through something or to my weapon? Step by step procedure here of what I do.
Do I have any clips or QD mounts? Not at this time, no.
Do you do custom work? Sometimes, depending on my schedule, but any transactions would not be through GAFS.
Do I have XXX color or product? If it's not listed I don't have it at this moment. Also, I have only been using Berry compliant webbing and no I have not found waifu webbing that is Berry compliant. Yet.
Why did you start this? In 2022 or so I was in the market for an inexpensive sling in a color other than black and also made in the USA. After I made a few for myself I started to produce these as a low-cost, high quality sling for anyone who was in the same boat I was in.
Why do you keep doing this? It's fun! Sewing has let me be creative and make myself kit that I like! Also allows me to prototype things and pass on my "old stuff" to you!

Hi guys I’m a stylist of 4 years that haven’t really found my salon “home” yet and have been doing hair on some clients on the side now bc of that (& hate it ik it’s illegal but it’s also expensive asf supplying all my own products n traveling to them w gas lol and just weird feel like im not giving them my best bc the experience isn’t as professional in a home vs a salon)
but recently a BRAND new salon opened up 25 mins away from me & it’s in the most PERFECT location for my town, busy area like the heart of town which lots of walkins could be found, it’s ABSOLUTELY beautiful like overlooking the lake, the inside is not too big only 6 stylist chairs 2 shampoo bowls but super cute n like plants omg the environment I would want to be in.
(Which I made a list for things I wish for in a salon I work for next: - good location, good reputation, aesthetic has to align w my vision)
Now I’ve picked up a full time job that pays very well and offers really good benefits, I don’t want to give that up bc hair styling won’t be able to provide the financial support this does, however hairstyling has never been something I want to do full time either way bc I get burnt out, sore, sick , and tired of it that way. I like it being my creative outlet and with that said
This salon reached out to my personal email asking to reach out for an interview I think it’s divine intervention lol bc I never give out that email I have no idea how they even got it
I’m hoping for the best tho bc
Would you hire a stylist who could only work one Saturday a week maybe some mornings like 9-1 in the future but for the most part 4 days a month? This stylist is known for being good at what she does, knows how to market very well on social media & proven to bring in lots of clients bc of it.
I really want to work here but I feel they might not need a part time that works so little, other salons have reached out in town that I just have no interest in being apart of for various reasons
So when I seen this is brand new like a baby it seems like the perfect opportunity
I’m just nervous bc of my scheduling restrictions rn yall my interview is scheduled this week
Lmk what u think 🙏🏼🥹 all answers welcomed a girl needs all advice & constructive criticism she can get

Logic pro 11 fully runs on Intel Macs and Intel/AMD Hackintoshs except for:

• Stem splitter
• Chroma Distortion
• Mastering Plugin (Valve, Punch, Transparent - Settings)

The reasion for this is, that theses features are calculated on the GPU of the M-Chips and therefore can not run natively on an Intel mac - if I'm not mistaken.
Does one need theses features? no, of course not. There are far better solutions out there e.g. the Universal Audio Plugins, Izotope, Waves etc. and of course various Stem splitters.
If you compare Logic Pros socalled Vintage EQs (Console, Graphic and Tube EQ) with the Original (Plugin Version) by Universal Audio, you get an idea on how blundering and amateurish Apples attempts in simulating these great sounding Plugins are. Apples Console EQ = originial: NEVE Series Apples Graphic EQ = original: API 560 (550A) Apples Tube EQ = Original Pultec (EQP 1A & MEQ 5)
The reason for this is mostly that UAD owns the patents for the original circuitry of the original hardware.
The same goes for Logic Pros Mastering and Chroma Distortion. These are attempts to copy a sound that has been established in the music industry since the early 70ths and can be simulated by using the appropriate Plugins, that you can buy on the market since years.
A Word on the socalled AI: The fun and satisfaction of making music lies in the creative process of great musicians playing around with great sounding gear and therefore I think that any attempt of leaving the best part of this process (the FUN part) to any kind of AI is just plain stupid.
It's like paying a machine to F*** your girlfriend.

Yo, let's talk about this system, got me feeling like a prisoner, Institutionalized education, ain't it a sinister? They mold us like clay, but where's the creativity? Numbers and letters, they're boxing our mentality.
Teachers preach conformity, but where's the individuality? Rote memorization, that's their idea of reality. Standardized tests, yeah, they're testing our obedience, But where's the focus on critical thinking, that's my grievance.
Education system, it's a broken machine, Pumping out clones, killing dreams, it's obscene. Where's the innovation, where's the liberation? We're stuck in a cycle of indoctrination. They say knowledge is power, but it's all about control, Feed us with propaganda, till we're all on parole. History books whitewashed, truths left untold, They want us ignorant, easily bought and sold. From the classroom to the prison pipeline, Minorities targeted, it's a damn crime. Instead of building futures, they're building cells, Trading potential for a narrative that sells.
Education system, it's a broken machine, Pumping out clones, killing dreams, it's obscene. Where's the innovation, where's the liberation? We're stuck in a cycle of indoctrination.
But yo, we ain't gonna stay silent, gonna break the chain, Knowledge is power, we'll ignite the flame. Gonna rise above, break the mold, redefine, Education for liberation, it's about damn time. So here's to the rebels, the ones who dare to dream, To the misfits and outcasts, we'll make our own regime. No longer shackled by the system's chains, We'll rewrite the narrative, break free from these reins.

eFootball gameplay seem to be going in a bad direction for the past months. To much AI defending/assistance/game balancing, game adding input lag, interceptions, poor passing, fouls not called for, hot potato football not rewarding any type of skillful play. The gameplay feels like its on rails, freedom is gone, players don't respond to your inputs and chances are created by either teams AI players mistakes or incredibly stupid runs. It's just not fun to play anymore. Neither online or vs AI.
eFootball could be fantastic if Konami would listen to ideas, criticism and improve. Here is my wishlist. Feedback based on me and the kids playing on PS4, PS5 and mobile. Offline and online.

1. Reduce the heavy AI assistance / game-balancing / handholding / Auto defending / Dynamic Difficulty / momentum / whatchamacallit (scr...). I understand its for getting new players staying in the game, having a chance getting coins in the events and winning games. And perhaps make games more non-predictable "anything can happen, maybe". With the current AI handholding level its "anything will happen, constantly". So many chances are created by either teams AI players making mistakes or just making incredibly stupid runs, its like a badly scripted B-movie. The amount of goalpost hits and missed open goals is just silly currently, this goes on until the last few minutes of each match. Please reduce it, or even remove it from Co-op and other game modes where skill should be rewarded. I'd rather get smashed 15-0 and learn from a good player. Than having to play another game with: added input lag and your players turn, react with 0,5 sec delay / 1 team loses every header / 4 shots in goalpost / own goals / missed open goals from 2-3m consequently, instead you have to run the ball into goal!!! / hide n seek players with pass receiver running away from the ball positioning behind defender / every ball intercepted / misdirected passes / every pass straight to other team / passes goes through "invisible" player / player freezing or even running wrong direction vs your stick / opponent attacking with high punt or lofted pass but your defender running past the ball towards opposition goal / ball glued to opposite player in the box / every attempt clearing the ball goes short distance straight to other team, even goalie high punt / all stunning shots 3m over the goal before 85min + all the other crap that's in there. This gameplay on rails is so unrewarding. If I manage to do something skillfull the AI assistance just kills the opportunity with any means. When the AI assistance takes a break, I get an easy goal with no effort from a random through pass + tap in. Many times I can't tell if I am playing well or the game has decided I should win/lose, it kills the joy for me and it's just boring. If Konami could tone down all the weird punishments I'd be very grateful.
2. Passing and interceptions. Currently worst ever IMO. Game just decides your pass from a player in balance is 90-180 degrees of straight to opponent. Even on Beginner AI and no matter PA1, 2 or 3😂 And the constant interceptions. No flow in the game. Please work on this Konami.
3. Remove the artificial input-lag. (This is a controversial one, some players simply don't believe our experience it. For me it's obvious as it can be tested offline in several ways on PS5, on mobile I havent tried to confirm it) Stop punishing one side with artificial input lag which make the gameplay feel heavy, unresponsive and your players turn & react with 0,5 sec delay. This is not from server lag as it's there in AI matches and local Trial matches as well, just switch controller between team 1 & 2 and feel the difference. It might activate from beginning of game, or in 2nd half, usually when you are doing well. And vice versa it can dissapear in 2nd half. From my experience it can be reduced or removed by switching playstyle. When finding the right playstyle for that specific match, your players suddenly become responsive again, it can even happen after switching to lowest Manager profiency. I assume its part of the game balancing mechanics. For me this is one of the worst things in the current game, when it kicks in your players don't respond to inputs in time and gameplay just feels awful.
4. Fix the player freezing. Example: after losing a header to last defender suddenly your attacker just freezes. What's going on here? Have Konami added to much AI handholding and broken the game? 😂😂😂
5. Reward different playstyles like build up play. Currently most games seem to be high press, interception ping-pong, quick pass and no dribbles. Hot potato football. Holding the ball has become very difficult. Before the AI assistance and auto defending went berzerk, you could actually keep the ball for a second and do something creative. Without 3-5 guys surrounding your player with no options. Now the gameplay is boring with the lack of variety.
6. Create a game mode free from AI assistance & artificial input lag. Just pure skill. It could be beta, division free or whatever just let us play without the heavy AI handholding. And maybe eFootball will be esports ready 😉. To be honest if another football game is released without momentum/game-balancing /added input-lag and with gameplay based on pure skill. I think eFootball will lose a lot of players.
7. Add Dream team into Trial match. We have 2 kids who love the card collecting and building their team. But playing online is of no interest to them, and won't be in many years. They want to play local PvP or co-op but with their own Dream team. By now we are very tired of playing the same local play Trial match Argentina Vs PSG. The kids have almost stopped playing eFootball, since they cant play against each other with their own team. In addition this would be a great way to test out new players, builds and game mechanics together with a friend. Much more fun than training mode. This mode is what my family is missing most from this game. And if it would be a "pure" mode without any momentum/game-balancing things would be fantastic. Just pure skill, best player wins.
8. Please add Dream team to Trial match local co-op Vs AI. Would be so much fun to test your Dream Team against the AI together with the kids or a friend on the couch beside you. Would love this mode if it would become available.
9. Add local co-op in Events. Would be great if me and the kids could take on the events together. At least add it to the AI events. Then we would actually play them and not just sim them.
10. Myleague local co-op. Add both local and online co-op into Myleague please. A reason to play it and win the league together with the kids 😀
11. Make My League worth playing. 100.000GP for completing 38 matches and winning the league is very poor IMO. Add some skill trainers and raise the GP perhaps?
12. Add all Goal Scorers, Assists and Passes made to Half Time and Full Time game stats. So we can quickly get the overview of which player cards performed well in both teams. That information would be highly appreciated.
13. Contract renewal is way too expensive. Considering many players have paid plenty in real money to get the favourite players, and you only get to keep your player for 1 year. We are paying for this digital football Pokémon and we can't even use it as long as we would like. There should be more ways to get contract renewals, the periods should be longer, 3/6/9/12months and the price should be lower. Currently it's just irritating and another killing the fun factor.
14. Make each playstyle worth using. And reward playing different type of formations. Instead of everyone using META 4 defenders and no wingers/LMF/RMF.
15. Better & more expensive Point shop players. Can we please have some decent players? I'd gladly spend 50000-100000 pink points for a player if his stats are good. IMO there hasn't been an interesting player since Ferrer & Pires. Currently I don't see any use for points except contact renewal.
16. Remove the GP cost for player reset. Having to wait for 2-3 months and then stressing for a few free weeks to retrain and test new builds doesn't make sense. GP is too valuable for me, I use it for Legacy Transfer and Contract renewal, and the few occasional GP buys for Events or hidden gems. I enjoy training players and trying out new builds, if free it would keep me logging in even when there is nothing else to do in the game.
17. Reduce the cost for Legacy transfer. Getting your wanted skills and then transferring to your favourite player is one of the game aspects I really like. But 257,000 GP for one transfer is a lot and takes away much of the fun in Legacy transfer. You get 1 Mbappe for less than 2 Legacy transfer. I am always low on GP these days, and I think 100,000-150,000 GP would be reasonable for Legacy transfer for 1 skill.
18. Legacy transfer of skills to POTW cards. If we could add 1-2 skills to the POTW the cards would be more interesting and I'd spend more coins spinning. We would get more varied and unpredictable squads instead of everybody using the same players. Most players know the good cards, what to expect from opponents cards and how to counter. Lets say you add some strong passing or shooting skills to a player usually weak in that aspect. The unpredicability would be awesome!
19. Replace/delete added skills. Building players would be much more fun if I could replace a trained skill with another one using legacy transfer. Or just be able to delete an added skill. Perhaps my playstyle changes and I want Neymar to have Through passing instead of the previously added Long-range shooting.
20. GP an option for pack spins. But it shouldn't be easy. Hard grind should be rewarded as it gives a reason to play the game. I am thinking 7,5M GP you get 75 spins in a 150 pack. That takes perhaps 6 months to grind. And perhaps the remaining 75 spins is coins only. Lower thresholds like 10 spins för 1M GP would be great but I understand its not gonna happen, as it would hurt the coin sales.
21. Remove the 500 player cap or reduce cost of adding player slots. If you are grinding skill trainers with 0GP players and training players the 500 fills up quite easily. Or reduce the 500.000GP for an extra 50 players to maybe 100.000GP. This 500 player limit is very annoying and seems unnecessary.
22. Add skill trainers and position trainers to each match pass. Would make the Match Pass way more interesting and I would spend coins.
23. Make it worthwhile playing League / divisions. Currently I don't see much reason to play it. A few skill trainers and low GP reward can't motivate me spending the time.
24. Find a way to prevent players from forfeiting games, at least events and co-op. Maybe if you are down a few goals sometimes add a random bonus like score with player X to receive 1 skill trainer, 10000 GP or something. Just to motivate players completing the match. Or create a non forfeit streak, like 10, 20 or 30 games without forfeit and you get an free extra POTW spin. (Credit: Part of this idea is from eFootball Universe Youtube)
25. 1st celebration should also be skippable. It's just time consuming in online games. Not adding any value to except maybe noobs who scored their first goal ever.
26. An option to make Sub tactic clearly visible in Game plan if activated. I played to many games now without knowing I had sub-tactic activated 😂
27. Matchmaking. This was good for a while after the matchmaking update, but not anymore. There must be something seriously wrong here. When playing in Division 9 to 7, we constantly get division 1-2 opponents in the events. Had top 120 and top 200 in a row even. 750M downloads and nobody else playing. Really?
28. The daily penalty needs an upgrade. Suggestion: More fun If I could choose player from my Dream Team. And add random Epic goalies to spice it up 😉
29. Add statistics of headers, penalties and free kicks scored on each player card. This would add value and make it more interesting building squads. Konami you have the data, use it!
30. More variety in Events. BBVA, Turkish, Brazilian Italian, English, Japan league. Over and over and over... Cmon Konami create something different so we can rotate our squads more. Suggestion: An event where only max 4 star players are allowed? Or higher GP rewards the weaker squad you use? (Credit: idea is partly from Rockchok Youtube)
31. More Beat the Clock type of events. Both me and the kids enjoyed this one. Create something similar for skill moves. Example: Perform 5 Double touch + 5 Marseille turn across pitch with fixed dummies or defending players. Or a sequence where you have to perform skill move x and y before scoring.
32. Objectives with extra bonuses. Add weekly objectives or similar. Score a hat-trick, win on penalties or score 5 times using skill move. And get some type of rewards, GP, Skill trainers, Position trainers, avatars, whatever just variety and something to play for.
33. Co-op events. So much potential but the gameplay on rails, AI assistance and the constant random AI punishments kills the fun for me. You feel almost instantly if the AI assistance is on your side or against you. Either everything goes your way and it's too easy or Epics can't make a simple pass, the input lag kicks in and your player is even dragged out of position so the other team can score. Every game feels pre-decided with almost every touch being a mistake or fumble by the team who is supposed to concede a goal. Or its 1 goal back and forth with short sequences where the conceeding team can't touch the ball. In my experience the AI assistance is at its worst in the Co-op games. Quite easy to spot as players regularly just drop the controller. And game continues to auto defend like prime AC Milan, the non-active player is forcefielded holding the ball, every ball in the box is magically sucked to defenders feet and passes and clearings going 90-180 degrees off straight to opponent. Recent example which has happened in several co-op games: Goalie makes several stupid run outs to a perfect 4 man defending line, leaving the net wide open. Changing goalie doesn't help. Same thing with 2nd goalie until opponent gets his 2 goals. Sorry but when my player, gameplay and result is controlled by AI instead of me and my teammate I lose interest.
34. Add 2nd local player to co-op events. Why can't 2 players join the co-op events together from one Playstation? Me and the kids would play co-op events a lot if this was possbile.
35. Booster player forms. Wirtz card and several other are never on A-form. Whats the point of creating a booster card then? (credit: PES Pepe Youtube)
36. Communication. Info on gameplay changes in each update would be appreciated. Like before. (credit: PES Pepe Youtube))
37. Heavy first touch or fumble receiving the ball. +90 Ball control player cant receive a pass without starting to fumble or needing several seconds to gain control, then losing the ball, again and again and again. Does stats even matter when game balancing just decides anyway?
38. Don't launch Crossplay with mobile. I suspect the recent braindead heavy assisted gameplay is needed for upcoming crossplay console & mobile update. This might be what we are getting. Gameplay on rails, autodefend, no skill, unrewarding, boring. I hope I am wrong and the previous fun gameplay on console is not gone forever 😢.
39. Master League? Promised some years ago. I guess it does not generate enough coin sales?
40. Edit mode. Create a custom crest and kits for our dream team.
41. AI games are boring and inconsistent. Even on easier difficulties the dynamic game balancing makes you miss so many chances in 1st half, open goals whatever. Then in 2nd its just walk the ball into box and quick shot goal. But if you decide to pass the ball in the box then it's magnet to defender, why not reward passing in the box? The inconsistency in the AI is just bad. And the coding seems lazy. I watch our 11 year old play and do all the right things, but the game just kills all her self-created chances. On harder difficulties even if I read the play and position perfectly to intercept a pass, the pass goes straight through my defender. And adding to that the constant interceptions and not being able to hold ball more than 0.3sec. To my understanding the AI was better before without having to bypass game mechanics (cheat), instead it was actually playing smarter. For me playing the AI is either to easy once the early game "Thou shall not score" wears off or just boring on higher difficulties. How hard is it to develop AI gameplay which is both fun, rewarding and teaching how to play better?
42. Player speed is broken. The slowest defender will catch up in 2-3 seconds with any attacker running with the ball. No matter stats of players. You make a great pass but this broken game mechanic ruins the opportunity. This is both unrealistic and highly unrewarding.
43. Player switching. Another game mechanic which seems broken and with hidden punishments added. I have mostly been using semi-assist and player oriented switching, R stick to switch. Recently switched to ball-oriented. And in my experience. When the game is against you, it constantly punishes you with bad player switching and worst default player selection. Many times the game refuses to switch to player in front of ball when I am trying to defend. Instead I am flicking through the guys behind the attacking player, while I am trying to get control of my defender. When I have free kick against me, default player is always the worst possible option eg. my CF standing 10m behind the free kick taker. Why? I enjoy a challenge but having to fight with my controller is not one of them.
44. Sort player list by team name. Would help when choosing team for events. And a nice feature when browsing all my players.
45. Position trainers. This feature was a nice addition. But can be improved and made more interesting. (A) Remove the possibility of getting duplicates on full position slots. It's just stupid and annoying. (B) Add random playstyle rewards on the new position. So an AMF Hole Player could also be SS Deep Lying Forward after Position training. (Credit: efNuts YouTube)

Some of these are cosmetics and should be quite easy to implement, whereas others like new type of events takes more effort. Dream team in Trial mode and adding already existing local Co-op to more events/game modes shouldn't be that difficult. Gameplay affecting changes are likely hard and need to be tested so it doesn't affect game in a negative way.
I guess Konami calculates profits are better by pushing all players to online play. But at the same time they are neglecting the player group which prefers offline, and are willing to buy coins to get their favourite players cards. Hopefully Konami will reconsider, add a proper Master League and more offline modes with co-op and PvP.
All in all it should result in a more enjoyable experience for both ballers, casuals, squad-builders, card-collectors and those who just want offline couch co-op or PvP with their Dream team. More people having fun and spending time in the game usually results in praise, recommendations and growing user count = more coins spent. Konami keeps earning and customer base is happy. Everyone wins.

some context. i'm 31, and ever since i was a kid the only thing i ever wanted to do was write. i went to college and got my degree in english lit and creative writing actively knowing I didn't want to pursue a career typical of my field. i never wanted to work in an office or be a teacher, etc. I was perfectly content working a menial low paying job if it meant i had time to write. this has been my one constant in regards to any 'life plans.'
so basically I've been doing just that. and while i've written a lot, and i would still consider myself a writer, i'm not published and not necessarily trying to be at the moment. i struggle with depression and anxiety and addiction and have almost made it a year sober, and i genuinely did not think I'd ever survive this long. i work at a low paying job that i genuinely love (with dogs) and i'm working on some passion projects that are just for fun and make me happy.
in my job, almost all of my coworkers are younger than me, and when i'm training new employees, they're typically around 19-23 and they usually make the assumption that i am in that age range as well since i look young and i work a position that isn't typical for my age. today, the person I was training was talking about her plans and aspirations since she's in college right now, and subsequently asked me 'do you know what you want to do?'
it's such a simple question, i know. i answered honestly, that i don't really have a plan except to keep writing and be okay. i left out a lot of detail. my mind keeps coming back to this interaction and i know i'm being ridiculous but i can't help but feel self conscious. are people judging me for being in my thirties and working what is typically considered 'a summer job' for college students full time while living in sober living? or for calling myself a writer even though 'no you wouldn't have read anything I wrote unless you spend time reading fanfiction online'?
and i know it doesn't matter. because my only plans right now are to stay sober and find peace, and i'm really proud of where I'm at and that i'm alive today. and even if being an alcoholic was never the plan (obviously), i'm still standing by my initial life choice, even though it's not a typical path to opt for. and even though everything is hard and i often don't feel great about anything overall, i'm happy enough. but the idea of other people's expectations of me or their shock and potential judgement at where my life is, is getting to me.
ultimately what i really want to say is that i hate societal expectations, and even though i'm always unabashedly fighting them and trying to burn stigmas to the ground, I can't help but feel like it's a fight i can't win and that bums me out. i don't know if sharing this will make me feel better or worse, but writing it certainly helped

I’m doing some R&D of the various platforms available to us as CMs.
Every now and then, I hear about Pensil, but I’ve never actually tried it. I understand it’s a community platform and a blend of Slack / Discord and Zoom. I get that you can upload course content, scroll posts, host webinars directly within the space, organize comms by topic, etc.
I have an idea what the pros and cons may be depending on the type of community one has and its needs. But I’m still curious to hear from anyone who has actually used Pensil to build out their community…
What, in your experience, were the pros and cons?
Any context you’re willing to share would be helpful! 💙 (Such as: industry, community size, age range and so on.)

I'm remodeling my lines on Lake Valley and decided to redo one of my rail yards in the desert area. However, I'm having a block in creative ideas in designing my railyard.
I need a little bit of inspiration and ideas to give me an set of options in the new design. So if ya'll don't mind posting screenshots of ya'lls railyards; it'll help give me an idea on how I could redesign mine.

I just feel so sad and down. I really try to make friends and find people to talk to and who care. But I always keep feeling cast out and like an invisible ghost. If I don't message people, there's just silence. They won't even message me or ask me how I am doing. Like I could be dead, they don't seem to care. Maybe it's weird, but I just want someone to know or figure out in a way that I am not around anymore, that I died. I just don't see the point of life if no one cares or knows that you're dead or alive.
Making friends and connections is so hard. I don't like most of the popular stuff. I do listen to all kinds of music. Often I really enjoy finding new music to listen to. I have been listening to pop punk type of music lately, something like Smashing Pumpkins, SUM 41. I would like to find more modern day artists in that genre. I also discovered phonk. I am still trying to figure out what that is exactly and if I like it. I also like to discover food, like recipes to make. I suck at thinking of stuff to make, so usually I buy stuff from Hello Fresh and cook that. And my two biggest passions are writing and building. They're both creative, I write fantasy stories. Usually, I get my ideas from my dreams and work them out more. For building, I like to build with Lego. I made a rollercoaster and the Hogwarts castle. But I also enjoy building in games, like The Sims or Minecraft (I only play creative there, I have no time to bother with food or mobs, I am trying to build houses, villages, bridges, ... damn it).

Hey everyone, I'm aspiring writer from Central European country, and here's my problem.
There are lots of English-speaking nations. Let's add all those people, that have English as second national language, plus all those of us from countries with other languages, but who can understand written English. I know there's a tough competition out there, but the market is huge.
The sad truth is that here where I live, reading is not very popular activity (although I have to admit last year we have higher number of readers). There are about 10- 20 native writers who are popular enough to make money as creative writers. Yet there are lot of folks who enjoy writing, but can't make a living from it.
I've always had a dream and strong conviction as well, that one day I will be a writer. But because everyone were saying I wouldn't make it finantially, as time went by I've started to put away writing, cause I've felt I couldn't lose time for anything that isn't related with repairing my finances.
Now when I'm middle aged I'm determined to become published writer anyway, so I wonder how I could possibly do it.
Is there anyone here from Central/Eastern Europe, who have tried to publish their debut book in different country than their own, with proper translation? I'm from Poland and I wonder how could I convince some publishing house from Germany or Sweden, or UK, or Lithuania, etc. to trust me with my writing? Where can I find a translator or contacts to begin with?
I'm very curious of your thoughts and experiences. Maybe you have other ideas, what could be helpful in my situation?
Thank you!

Beware of long post. I am not the most active user of social networks, I rarely write comments, but I like to read. I don’t expect to get any attention, but I want to speak out.
My name is Yulia and I am now 21 years old. I'm trying to work and earn money with my creativity, and this is the story of how I give up.
I grew up in a small town in Belarus. At school I started going to art school. In general, not for the reason that I really wanted to, I just had to do something. I didn’t have any special talent; I could draw as poorly as all 5-year-old children) I changed a lot of sports clubs throughout school. But I completely finished art school. I painted well, but not the best, sometimes my paintings were hung in the school hall of the most obvious achievements. I wasn’t very passionate about this activity, but I liked drawing. For me it was like meditation. In a quiet classroom, where the breeze blows and the sun peeks in, you sit and paint with oil or gouache on canvas for several hours. You look for the right shades and try to understand how the light falls on this jug, flowers or fruit.
I never thought that I would want to connect my life with drawing, although it would seem to be quite logical. While still at school, I began to fulfill some one-time orders to draw something, logos, my own ideas and the ideas of my friends, and I drew on T-shirts for some time. I had a hundred sketchbooks, where I redrew some women from magazines, ballerinas, in order to learn how to draw people in dynamics. In the same sketchbooks she expressed her thoughts in the form of drawings. Sometimes, when we went abroad, I could sit on the beach and try to replicate the beautiful view of the sea.
Nevertheless, mathematics and computer science were good at school, and they predicted a happy future for me in programming or IT. Therefore, after school, I went to a university related to programming, although I won’t lie, there is design there too, but specifically the design of websites, business cards and the like. And of course this is never connected with what I would like to do.
Back in school, I tried to earn money; most freelancing platforms wanted me to make an initial payment for using the site. But I couldn’t take this money from my parents, it was a difficult time, and it wasn’t very clear what kind of money and where I was going to earn money at the age of 13. I found stock platforms where I uploaded my photographs, vector drawings, and tried to draw specifically for the platform, people without faces, in different poses, on a certain topic. But nothing worked out for me, Shutterstock cruelly pushed me nowhere. It's been quite a few years, now it's probably a couple of dollars.
I took all these free lessons on how to make money on the Internet, where everything always came down to buying paid courses. The best thing that we found out then was that you need to write to all the bloggers in a row so that they suddenly notice your services and hire you. But this is of course not a realistic scenario. And I was probably about 15 years old, no one would want to hire you, at least because you were underage.
And of course this came to nothing.
At the university, I started sending applications for vacancies, especially those related to game development. I've been playing games for a long time and I've always loved these amazing characters, their designs and stories. I really wanted to become part of some big project where I could develop some concepts so that this character could come to life. For example, in the League of Legends new heroes are released very often, and I really like reading about the history of their creation, looking at the concepts and how the hero’s appearance conveys his character.
But at that moment, I realized that my level was not enough to get hired. I took a six-month course in drawing on a tablet. I have improved a lot and now I draw constantly; over the last year I have sent more than 50 resumes, including those not in my country. I don't really like mobile games, but I applied for anything to get accepted and get work experience. But I only heard refusals. One day I was hired to animate videos for a startup. They promised me that they would pay for everything when I completed the work. But not only did I essentially create a website for them most of the time, and not do what I was called for, I was not paid anything and, as a result, disappeared from the radar.
I continued to send my resume, but after not receiving any positive responses, I decided to develop as a freelancer. I'm not going to quit this business. But it’s very difficult when you constantly draw on the table, your friends and family celebrate your success, but it doesn’t bring you a penny. I am already graduating from university; according to my assignment at the university, I was sent to work in a very poor school for very little money, which is not enough to even eat for the whole month, not to mention an apartment. And I'm honestly in despair. I would like to start making money doing what I love.
I know that I am not the first artist to face such problems. And that everything is ahead.
But it is very difficult to wait for the future that will be there someday. Sorry, English is not my native language, but I wanted to share what I think. I have attached examples of my work below.

character I'm currently creating is supposed to have empathy based powers, but outside of stereotypical reading people emotions/influencing them I have a problem with thinking of any more creative or powerful ways of using this kind of powers
because of that I'm looking for any ideas, advice or maybe even any examples from media to get inspired

He waited to call me, he literally thought about my sleep and that he’d called to wake me up a couple times already this past week so he thought no I’ll let her sleep and call at a more normal time. Is he not the most thoughtful thing? My baby. He woke me right out of a dream, it was an odd one which I cbf going into, but I was making a friend in it, I don’t know who but the dream was partly me trying to be friends with this other girl. Maybe it’s a sign I’ll find a new friend soon :) Anyway so he called and we chatted while he finished making up his keyboard. It sounds so good, like sooooo good. Like creamy marbley rain drop goodness. It’s funny because I thought his last keyboard sounded delicious, but in comparison to the new one the old one makes me envision large spiders tip tapping along a corrugated iron roof. Whereas the new one sounds like sitting by a fire with a hot chocolate with marshmallows and being read a story while the rain pitter patters outside. I wonder if this new one will sound like spiders whenever he makes a newer one? I’m truly such a fickle thing. They all sound good though, obviously. He said how when we live together he’ll make one for me! Or rather he’ll guide me through the process, because I need to pick the sounds and colours and feelings out. I’m not sure what I’d like it to be like, I’ll have to start thinking. I flip between wanting something cute, like a pink one with strawberries and hearts and glitter and then a sleek, profesh looking one. A light one? Or a dark one? And I have no idea about the sounds, but he’ll help me. And then we can make it up together! It sounds so fun, I really can’t wait. Anyway so he called and it’s still my favourite way to wake up.
Then we hung up and I was laying in bed debating whether I should get up or doze and I ended up having dirty lil thoughts about him… twice. I can be so boring with my lil fantasies now, I can’t entirely remember now what I thought about but it was just us two. I think he thinks I think about someone else involved more than I do, I definitely do but nowhere near as often as just him. I sound like a total creepy perve but I’ve even thought about just him… but I’ll be dead and buried before I ever tell him that. And that saying something because I think I’d like to be cremated… TBD on that. But so anyway, thinking about just me and him is always my favourite and works the fastest every single time. My honey baby handsome man.
I truly have a life full of first world problems, it makes me feel so guilty sometimes. I say sometimes because I only think about how lucky I am sometimes, which makes me feel even more guilty. There are SO many horrible awful things happening in the world to people who absolutely do not deserve a hair on their heads touched.. and here I am lambasting my cuticles for being in good condition after I bought some products to tidy them up. I just caught myself out before, I was looking at my cuticles and was negatively thinking about how clean they look lately - I’m not surprised I found a way to be negative about something good. They definitely need some nourishment and cuticle oil and things, but they’re so clean and neat? Why? I haven’t done anything? Anyway I caught myself looking at them thinking ffs why do they look nice I need to fix them - firstly that makes no sense and secondly it hit me a second later how terrible it was. And then the guilt washed over me and there are children dying across the world for no reason and here I am critiquing my cuticles. I truly don’t think I deserve the air I breathe sometimes. More than sometimes. I know I’m not a person that adds anything to this world, if anything I just take from it by worsening the health of the planet with the plastic, travel etc etc I do. I do my best to save bees who look sickly? That’s about it. I don’t bring joy to anyone else - I mean I make Andy miserable, I probably stress and worry my parents… I think the only one I bring any semblance of joy to is pups because I play with him and take him for walks and cuddle him and I won’t move an inch if he’s comfy and I’m not. Other than that… I offer nothing. So like I said, I am drenched in guilt. I wonder how I can change it? Or how I can offer more? I just feel like I have nothing to actually offer, even if I gave everything up. I guess physical labour…? But even then, I’m not strong and my hand skin is so sensitive so I can only really do so much before it hurts and gets bad. But I guess if I wasn’t being selfish I would ignore my skin, wouldn’t I? I would really like to volunteer. I used to a bit here and there, before I really got bad with my mental health. Not a lot but sometimes. I’d like to make it more of a regular thing - it’s something I’ve talked about in therapy about it being a part of the life I’m working towards. I’m thinking once every three weeks or so, so still nothing impactful but it’s something? I think I’d like to volunteer at an animal shelter, I wouldn’t mind even cleaning up their little areas and things, idk why but I don’t find animal stuff gross whereas I do people stuff. Then again I’ve only had to clean up after an animal I love with my whole heart so maybe it would be different for other ones, I could do it though. Or I’d like to volunteer at a retirement home, or visiting elderly people at their own homes. Just spend time with them, it makes my heart hurt to think of how lonely some of them can be and coming from someone who feels extremely lonely I would want to lessen that - especially in their final years. They’re the main places I’d like to volunteer. I’ve done time in “soup kitchens” here and in the UK, which I enjoyed, I only worked in the kitchen though helping prepare things and cleaning up - every time I wasn’t allowed out the front to serve, which is weird because I have LOTS of experience with that sort of thing? The way they implied it was that I was a young woman, but still? I guess 99% of those visiting there would be fine but maybe 1% wouldn’t be? Still though. Anyway I’d like to volunteer more. I need to learn to be comfy leaving the house first, maybe get my social anxiety under control a little more but I don’t need to be perfect because doing these things will help my issues. What else could I do? I donate to charities and have for years, sometimes I’ve had monthly deductions, sometimes I just donate on a whim. Like that fresh water one, I can’t remember the name off the top of my head but every few months I impulsively donate $100 or so. It’s not enough though, I should be better. I just get suss of the charities themselves and I don’t know how much actually goes to the cause, like I know they need to fund admin costs which makes sense but anyway. I just don’t have any skills, so other than vague stuff there’s not any real impact I can offer. Andy for example, he’s so talented and clever and creative, I bet he would have ways to make an impact. Like if he was to visit elderly people it would be SUCH a success as he’s so chatty and personable and kind and lovely and everything that’s good, so he would keep them entertained and ask the right questions. Whereas I’m not a talker so I would be awkward and quiet and they would have to lead the conversation and they likely don’t want that, unless I asked to be paired with chatty kathys of course. My nana was like that, you ask one question and she won’t stop talking for an hour. At least from memory, I don’t remember so well as I was littler. Hm. Anyway. I just feel like I’m a big time detractor of the world. That’s kind of a good villain name, The Detractor. Another way I can offer more is to be better, for example if I’m better then I don’t make Andy miserable which means he would feel more encouraged to live his life happily which would therefore positively affect everyone who comes into contact with him, which I know happens now anyway but maybe if he has a supportive loving girlfriend it will be even more so? Like I can be a lil battery for him, because I don’t really like interacting with others too much, or I do but I don’t like to be an active member, I like to listen and observe and chime in every now and then. None of this makes sense. But if I’m better then that has a positive effect on people around me. That’s what I’m trying to say. I’m always polite though, like if I take the bus I always say thank you when I hop off, I always say thank you when a waiter refills my drink or puts down my cutlery or whatever else. Even when I don’t want to talk at all and an Uber driver clearly does I will chat away even though my social battery is running on fumes because I don’t want them to feel rejected and maybe they need to chat, even if it’s about nothing. I always put supermarket trollies back into their homes. I never litter. I hold doors open for people, but only when it means they won’t have to do an awkward run for it because that’s not polite that’s annoying. So I think I’m polite, but a polite person does not make a good person - and I am not a good person. Or a worthwhile one.
So far this morning I have chatted to Andy, got up and made a strawbs smoothie, did a lil kitchen clean/tidy up, went back to lay on my bed but not IN bed and I read for a little bit, I journaled the bit up there and now I’m watching some YT. I’m really trying to stretch out my read time of this book, I’m excited to get into HP after this one but I also don’t want to let go of this world and these characters yet, even though it’s a reread. I’d like to have a productive day but I’m also going to let myself do whatever I fancy… I hope I fancy being productive.
I wound up reading/watching about those body and face types again, because a YT video came up as suggested. Anyway, so apparently you can be more yin or yang and I’m a definite yin. Yang is more angular, sharp and blunt whereas yin is soft, rounded and curved. I also feel like I’m a yin person, I was reading about that recently, I think I need to actively work to have more yang in my life in order to be more balanced? I mean these descriptors? Negative, passive, feminine, dark, cool, soft, reflective, still, calm, nurture, quiet, introspective, prefers solitude, cautious etc. Hellllllllllllo. Whereas yang is more embodied by words like active, light, warm, outgoing/sociable, masculine, direct, expressive, loud, restless, productive, growth, passion etc. Things that don’t really describe me. So I think maybe in that sense I’m imbalanced. It seems I’m imbalanced in everything, so that’s great. Excellent, even. I feel like Andy is 100% the yang to my yin. Maybe that’s a factor in why we work well? We balance each other? I think he has a mix of both though, he’s much more balanced. I was about to write “he’s perfect” but I am also a biased, love sick girl soooo… but I think we balance each other well, no? Anyway I’m reading more about yin vs yang and I definitely need more Yang in me because these are all yin:
Signs of “excess” in yin: * Oversleeping * Overthinking * Slow thinking * Sluggishness * Laziness * Compulsive behaviour * Lack of motivation * Apathy * Overeating :(
Versus yang that lists things like anger, restlessness, violence, frustration, inability to relax & let go, insomnia, addictions, need for constant stimulation, regular headaches etc.
And “personality traits” in yin: * imagination * peacefulness * wisdom (not for meee) * relaxation * satisfaction (?) * persistence (only with some things) * introversion
Versus yang that lists things like action, ambition, courage, adventurousness, extroversion, getting things done etc.
And “activities” for yin: * yoga * tai chi * slow walking * golf * qi gong * weight lifting * stretching
Versus yang that lists things like cardio, running, fast dancing, wrestling, hiking, swimming, biking etc.
Anyway I know this is all just one of those things, but also it makes total sense. But this reminds me of the therapy lesson where I learned I like these sorts of things, similar to the Myers Briggs thing etc, because I don’t really know who I am and so I find being grouped into a category really affirming and makes me feel less… outsidey. Which is a thing for me as I don’t easily click with people, I can get along fine with more or less anyone but I don’t genuinely enjoy the company of just anyone and I find it very difficult to be myself with just anyone, I have some form of a wall up with everyone bar a couple of people like my parents, Andy, M and K to an extent. But it also depends, if I don’t spend time with someone for awhile my walls go back up. It’s a huge reason why I don’t really enjoy social things, if it’s a one on one thing I can but in a group? Even with the girls from work who I know well, but I can’t relax and I don’t enjoy myself at all. I try to but I just feel like I’m outside of the bubble. But so anyway all that is why I gravitate towards these groupings of personality, even looks like the fact I was watching a video about face/body types which is why I started this paragraph. I like being able to see examples and do a quiz and find out I’m whatever and then seeing similarities in others who are in the group. It makes me feel included and less alone. It basically all comes down to the fact I always feel like I’m on the outside, of everything. I don’t feel included in anything really. Which comes back to my self esteem/self worth… or lack thereof. I’m wondering when I’m meant to be getting more of that btw, like WHEN? It’s the root of all my issues. Mostly.
I’ve been wondering if I should consider lightening my eyebrows… that sounds kinda crazy, well crazy in the land of eyebrow stuff, but idk. I have warm brown hair… but basically black eyebrows? It’s weird and I’ve always hated it. I know eyebrows always lean cooler than the hair on your head, so that’s natural, but idk, it’s just my hair is so warm and my brows so cool - it’s always irked me. I’ve never quite realised it was that though, I just always thought something was off, but I’m now starting to wonder if my brows should be ever so lightened. I never even thought of it as a potential solution til I saw some girl doing it and it gave her a much softer look. I know they also need to be darker by a shade or two, well they don’t NEED to be but that’s generally the natural look and I only want a natural result. So a deep brown? Because right now they’re damn near black. And I find the black jarring against my fair skin too, I like having dark brows - I would hate to have light/fair brows, and dark brows are supposedly wanted because they make the person with them appear younger, or rather fair brows can age a face. So I like that mine are dark… I just want them MAYBE a fraction lighter. But the idea scares me! Because if you bleach them then anything you add on top will likely lean super warm and idk. So idk how I’d even go about it. The woman I watched doing it on YT just used an at home bleach kit or something and she used it several times so I guess it won’t do much but still… I’m scared :(
I set up my new monitor!!!!!!!!!!! By myself!!!!!!! I know how tiny it is but I’m still so pleased with myself. I felt so embarrassed telling Andy, or less embarrassed and more silly/stupid I guess. Like it’s such a nothing thing but idk, I was nervous and I wrote out a step by step list to work through so I wouldn’t get overwhelmed and things while doing it. And when I say step by step I literally mean:

1. Unwrap the boxes and take each item out
2. Make sure to keep them in their own little areas and don’t mix them up
3. Clear my desk of everything
4. Clean my desk
5. Set up the new monitor with the stand
6. Place both monitors on the desk
7. Plug both monitors into power source
8. Put laptop on the desk
9. Put the HDMI connector usb into the laptop
10. Put one monitor HDMI cable into the laptop, as normal
11. Put the other monitor HDMI cable into the connecter
12. Connector should be connected to laptop with only one external HDMI a cable inside
13. Turn on my laptop and see if they all connect up - don’t stress if they don’t
14. Play around/google/ask Andy if any issues
15. Arrange my new desk! Try use the cable tidy things and make it nice.

So I mean, an absolute step by step. It didn’t cover all the steps as I forgot about the mouse parts and things. But anyway I did itttttt. I need to move the stuff around though because they’re too far apart but I’ll do that tomorrow. I also need to work out how to add an extra plug so I can charge my laptop too as there’s not enough plugs.
I asked him if he wanted to watch Bridg erton and I wish I hadn’t because he feels weird about it. I only asked because idk, wishful thinking? I want to watch it with him :( From season one, obviously. Idk I know he doesn’t want to so I won’t push it, but I want to show him shows I love too. I just like regency era stuff like this and idk. I shouldn’t have asked, now he thinks I want to watch with someone else? Like… who? I guess mum or M. But why get suss about that. Anyway. I guess I’ll watch it by myself, like I expected. I can’t wait for the music. And the costumes!!!!!!!! My favourite. Anyway idk. I just want to share things I love with him the way he does with me.. but maybe I just don’t like anything he’ll like?
I want the Laura Mercier strawberry blush a lot :( But I’m really trying to not buy makeup I don’t need and I already have 30-odd blushes which I don’t get enough use out of, including LM ones. But it’s such a pretty colour!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I had a trillion dollars so I could have all the colours and formulas my little heart desired. But also in saying that I love the idea of being one of those women who have one makeup bag and everything fits inside, and they have maybe one or two shades or blush/lip colour and the rest is just one. It seems so easy and simple and I would really like to be like that but I am definitely not like that at all. I’m slowly learning to be more like that with skincare because that’s how it should be, but makeup…? Even though I don’t wear a lot I just love having it and looking at it. Like I just swiped some highlighter on my hand the other day to look at how shimmery it was, I didn’t apply it to my face, I just had a tiny swipe on my hand and I’d just look at it now and then. I only do that with highlighter though obviously and I love shimmery glittery sparkly things. Mum has always called me a magpie for a reason.
He’s asleep. I miss him. I can’t wait til we live together and when he’s asleep and I’m not and I miss him I can just go snuggle in next to him for a while. But not too close, as he gets too hot. I also don’t want to wake him. The idea of him doing the same with me makes me feel like floating on a cloud. And the time he said he’d still cuddle me to sleep even when he was on a different sleep cycle to me??????? Still obsessed. I wonder if that was a turning point in when my feelings were developing? I know I already fancied the hell out of him, I did from the beginning and I fell so hard and so fast for him. But I wonder if when he said that it was one of those moments that cemented him as the kind of man he is? Or rather the kind of partner he’d be? Because I’ve always wanted someone that cares about what makes me happy and I mean let’s not beat around the bush, I’ve not had a relationship where that’s been a priority to them. So the fact he knows I love being held and cuddled and I would sometimes miss it when he slept differently but if I wanted it he’d come to bed and stay with me til I fell asleep or close enough. And the fact he didn’t see it as anything special, it was just a normal thought to him?! It’s such a minor thing in comparison to everything else he has done for me and everything he has been to me and everything he’s helped me through, but it’s just a little thing that means everything. Anyway.
I watched wish with M tonight, it wasn’t good. I just can’t get on board with the latest movies of theirs lately, they’re just so bleh. The music isn’t right - there’s nothing magical about it and I wonder if it’s because they seem to hire pop music people not composers and things now? And the animation is never 2D anymore, which tbh I understand and that’s purely nostalgia of mine than anything bad but the animation doesn’t feel magical either anymore. Apart from some of the scenes were beautiful. Anyway.
I think I’ll stop now. It’s 9:30 so it’s too late for to start BT so I think I’ll read for a lil bit then go to sleep soon. Night night

Gnostics and some philosophers believe they live in some sort of materialistic simulation. They believe in predeterminism. Some believe there is no freewill and have limited outcomes and no alternative endings to fate. So, here's my opinion.
Whether simulations have or don't have alternative endings depends on two main things,

1. Complexity of the simulation,
2. whether simulation constitutes of true intelligence/consciousness...... if the simulation is just some simple game like tic tac toe then, then every thing is simple with no entropy, high predictability rate and limited outcomes.

As simulation becomes a little bit complicated like some chess game, the entropy slightly increases but the outcomes can be still predictable with great computation power. Since chess game also have limited iterations. As the simulation becomes extremely complex especially when it accommodates some ture intelligence/consciousness with true creativity.
Then by theory the intelligence/creativity might demonstrate some physical actions. Now the action is purely physical and it most likely still be predictable, which depends on computation and processing power of simulation computer.
But any true intelligence/creativity might also produce ideas/thoughts/idealistic conclusions that no computer or simulation can predict. By theory, the whole point of true intelligence/creativity is creating some thing 'NEW' and something unpredictable.
So materialistically a some super computer might predict every outcome and atom position from beginning of universe to the end of universe. But no super computer with any algorithm can predict the thoughts and ideas that an intelligent and creative being generates.
Thoughts might be influenced by materialistic world but still they can generate ideas that are independent of space, time. So these thoughts,ideas and the quality of them being independent of simulation factors makes us humans special.
These ideas might influence the creator of simulation itself allowing us to change outcome of simulation. So, may be we can't change outcome through materialistically. Perhaps the key is consciousness, intelligence, creativity. Creativity is predicated by intelligence and consciousness, which are predicated by motivation to live. Motivation to live is predicated by love.
