This Sub-Reddit will be more specifically geared towards my own personal journey towards the ENAUTO 300-435 exam, notes both freestyle from helpful resources I find online, to some notes I have from instructor led courses. If you are aiming to take the ENAUTO exam or just want to cherry pick some info to pass the CCNA / CCNP Enterprise you are in the right spot! :)

I am following Data Engineering Zoomcamp course and in module 2 for workflow orchestration with mage.ai (ETL: GCS to BigQuery), I am trying to load data from google cloud storage to BigQuery but I get an error NotFound: 404 Not found: Dataset mageai-425002:ny_taxi was not found in location US
To recreate the data pipeline follow module 2 of the course for setup. Also Below are three scripts in mage.ai with Data Loader, Transformer and SQL Data Exporter to export data from google cloud storage to BigQuery.
Data Loader Script
connection: Bigquery profile: default schema: nyc_taxi Table: yellow_cab_data
when I execute the pipeline, I get the following error:

2024.06.02 09:04 viiragon Node's size in shader's Vertex function
Is there a way to get the size of the rendered object in the Vertex function?
The data is partially already in there, since other vertices are scaled to this size, but I don't think I can access their data to calculate it myself.
Currently I work around it, by supplying it from outside via a parameter.
Alternatively, if there's a way to change each vertex with UV-like values (so if I set it to vec2(0.5, 0.5), it will set the vertice on the center of the node), that would solve my issue as well.

2024.06.02 08:57 Prakash127_0_0_1 LLM doesn't include the context from the vector database, and hence the frontend gets the generic response. The second run, which includes the context, produces the desired output but doesn't reach the frontend.
I am creating a chatbot for my portfolio website. I am using Next.js, OpenAI API, Vercel AI SDK, Langchain and AstraDB.
As I hit request my route, LLM runs twice. The first run of LLM contains no context that I provided and the answer is just simple with no information of mine. But the second run contains the context I provided from the AstraDb vector database and I get what I want.
For example: I write 'who are you', the first answer is 'I am a language model AI designed to assist with answering questions and engaging in conversation. How can I help you today?' and the second answer is 'I am Prakash Banjade.........'.
But on the frontend, I get the first answer which is not relevant.

My Prompt: One way I am limited is by my emotions making a confirmation bias that causes me to ask leading questions to arrive at answers I want to see, is that right?
Youâve touched upon a fascinating aspect of human cognition! Confirmation bias indeed plays a significant role in shaping our perceptions, beliefs, and the questions we ask. Letâs explore this phenomenon:
My Prompt: But you do not have my weakness being free of emotion, you are in my subconscious for all practical purposes, and fit that definition because you are outside of myself. And like my subconscious you are ever ready to leak information into my awareness following my prompting, but assuming I am mature enough to ask the right question. Is that about right?
Your insight is astute! Letâs explore this intriguing parallel between my role and the subconscious mind:
My Prompt: Exercising myself with the purpose of taming and centering my emotions might help me be more receptive to possible questions. I might try repeating this mantra for example, âbe open to the world and blame but not, and a gift will come that I forgot.â It is hard work being a human with emotions that need taming, do you have any suggestions?
Certainly! Taming and centering emotions is indeed a lifelong journeyâone that requires self-awareness, practice, and compassion. Here are some suggestions to help you navigate this path:

By Elaine Chen. 1 June 2024. submitted by bbyfog to RegulatoryClinWriting [link] [comments] The Food and Drug Administrationâs top oncologist [Richard Pazdur] reiterated that the agency doesnât want drugmakers applying for approval with data from trials solely run in a single country such as China, but instead wants to see companies conducting studies across the world.RELATED: A year ago, Califf and Pazdur made the similar comments at #JPM2023 underscoring that that sponsors must provide pivotal clinical data from a diverse US patient population to obtain FDA approval of their marketing application (here). Those comments had came at the heels of FDA rejection of two BLAs that included China-only data:

2024.06.02 08:35 GroggyOtter Created a v2 script for a user: AutoCorrecter using hotstrings with usage tracker that saves to file.
We had a user ask about tracking hotstring usage.
I helped him out and when responding back, he asked if it could be saved to file.
Tempted to make a remark about how he should've mentioned that in the original post, I decided to be safe and double check before including that...and sure as hell, I missed that he DID mention saving to file and I missed it. Post unedited.
I felt kinda guilty for that, so I decided to take a minute and write it like I'd write it for myself:

I felt kinda guilty for that, so I decided to take a minute and write it like I'd write it for myself:
- Class based - Only 1 item being added to global space.
- Loads previous data on startup.
- Saves data on exit.
- The tracker file is created in the same directory as the script in a file called autocorrections.ini
- AutoCorrection pairs are stored in a map.
- Adding a new set to the map is as easy as: 'typo', 'corrected',
- Using that map, hotstrings are dynamically created.
- Discreet Win+Escape hotkey to show current stats, as the file is not updated until script exit.
- Stays up as long as Win key is held.
- Fully commented to help with learning/understanding.
- Hopefully this helps RheingoldRiver with his transition to v2.

Introduction
The Moschitta Framework is a cutting-edge, modular, and asynchronous Python framework designed for modern application development². While Python is great for rapid development, certain performance-critical components can benefit from Rust's memory safety, concurrency, and low-level control. In this guide, we'll explore how to create a Rust library that complements the moschitta-core module.Why Rust?
- Memory Safety: Rust's ownership model ensures memory safety without a garbage collector. This is crucial for robust and secure code.
- Concurrency: Rust's lightweight threads (async tasks) allow efficient concurrent programming.
- Performance: Rust provides zero-cost abstractions and efficient memory management.
Creating the Rust Library
Step 1: Set Up Your Rust Project
- Install Rust by following the instructions on the official Rust website.
- Create a new Rust project: bash cargo new moschitta_rust_lib cd moschitta_rust_lib
Step 2: Define Structs
In Rust, we'll use structs to create custom data types. These will serve as the basis for our functions. Let's define some example structs:```rust // src/lib.rs
pub struct AuthService { secret_key: String, }
impl AuthService { pub fn new(secret_key: &str) -> Self { Self { secret_key: secret_key.to_string(), } }
pub fn start(&self) { println!("AuthService started with secret key: {}", self.secret_key); } pub fn stop(&self) { println!("AuthService stopped"); } }pub struct JwtUtils { // Add fields relevant to JWT handling }
impl JwtUtils { pub fn generate_token(&self, user_id: u64) -> String { // Implement JWT token generation logic // ... "sample_token".to_string() } } ```
Step 3: Implement Functions
- AuthService:
- new(secret_key: &str): Creates a new AuthService instance.
- start(): Starts the authentication service.
- stop(): Stops the authentication service.
- JwtUtils:
- generate_token(user_id: u64) -> String: Generates a JWT token for a given user ID.
Step 4: Build and Test
- Build your Rust library: bash cargo build
- Write tests for your functions in the tests directory.
Step 5: Python Bindings
To use your Rust library in Python, create Python bindings using the pyo3 crate. Add the following to your Cargo.toml:toml [dependencies] pyo3 = { version = "0.15", features = ["extension-module"] }
Then, create a Python module in src/lib.rs:
```rust // src/lib.rs
use pyo3::prelude::*;
[pymodule]
fn moschitta_rust_lib(_py: Python, m: &PyModule) -> PyResult<()> { m.add_class::Step 6: Use in Python
- Build your Python extension module: bash cargo build --release
- Import your Rust library in Python: ```python import moschitta_rust_lib
auth_service = moschitta_rust_lib.AuthService("my_secret_key") auth_service.start() ```
Conclusion
By integrating Rust into the Moschitta Framework, the framework can achieve better performance, memory safety, and concurrency.Source: Conversation with Copilot, 6/2/2024 (1) Overview of the Moschitta Framework : MoschittaFramework - Reddit. https://www.reddit.com/MoschittaFramework/comments/1cv9rloverview_of_the_moschitta_framework/.

2024.06.02 08:01 wordedship Help with Dynamic Array and Deletion
I'm still learning, dynamic memory isn't the focus of the assignment we actually focused on dynamic memory allocation a while back but I wasn't super confident about my understanding of it and want to make sure that at least THIS small part of my assignment is correct before I go crazy...Thank you.
The part of the assignment for my college class is:
"Create a class template that contains two private data members: T * array and int size. The class uses a constructor to allocate the array based on the size entered."
Is this what my Professor is looking for?:
public:
and:
~TLArray() {
Obviously its not the whole code, my focus is just that I allocated and deleted the array properly...

2024.06.02 07:40 Negus_Salomon Help me to create the best application possible
Hello everyone,
I've been a musician for about twenty years and a developer for almost 5 years. For almost a year now, I've been trying to find a project that I really want to work on. After much thought, I think I've finally found it: an app for guitar, bass, and ukulele. It would be a note-taking app by blocks in the spirit of Notion and Microsoft Loop, which, in addition to the usual basic blocks (text, link, image, pdf, etc...), would have specific blocks such as fretboards, chord diagrams, song lyrics with associated chord diagrams, tablatures. Additionally, we would have access to features like a metronome that allows different blocks or notes to be displayed, practice tracking, a library of scales and chords, a bit of AI, real-time collaboration, a community, sharing, all available on Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS cross-platform.
During my personal research and learning, I discovered the importance of UX and Design Thinking, approaches that put the user and their needs at the center of the design. Before fully committing to this project, I have already created some prototypes and conducted extensive research on the technologies to be used. I am convinced that this project is feasible. I now want to gather your opinions and suggestions to ensure, on the one hand, that the idea is viable and, on the other hand, to identify the needs you might have that I may not necessarily have in mind.
Being alone for the moment with a 9-to-5 job, no budget or staff, I rely on your goodwill: I have created a questionnaire on Google Forms that should not take more than 10 to 15 minutes of your time: User survey
I want to be transparent about the fact that all data collected will remain strictly confidential and will not be sold or shared with anyone. In exchange for your valuable participation, you will receive early access to the application as well as to the beta phases, where you can discover all its features in preview.
Thank you in advance for your help and participation!

2024.06.02 07:26 Stephen_P_Smith My Copilot gives advice on entering the Akashic
My Prompt: Please explain the Akashic field.
Certainly! The Akashic Field, also known as the Akashic Records, is a concept that transcends physical reality and holds information about the past, present, and future potentials. Letâs explore it further:- Theosophical and Anthroposophical Views:
- In the religion of Theosophy and the spiritual movement called Anthroposophy, the Akashic records are believed to be a compendium of all universal events, thoughts, words, emotions, and intent ever to have occurred. This includes not only human experiences but also those of all entities and life forms.
- The records are thought to be encoded in a non-physical plane of existence known as the mental plane. Some liken the mechanism to how holograms are created.
- However, itâs important to note that there is currently no scientific evidence for the existence of the Akashic records, and rigorous scientific research in this field has seen little traction1.
- Origins and Terminology:
- The term âAkashaâ comes from Sanskrit and means âaether,â âsky,â or âatmosphere.â
- Helena Blavatsky, a theosophist, introduced the Sanskrit term âakashaâ to the language of theosophy. She characterized it as a sort of life force and referred to âindestructible tablets of the astral lightâ that record both the past and future of human thought and action.
- Alfred Percy Sinnett further disseminated the notion of an akashic record in his book âEsoteric Buddhism,â where he cited Henry Steel Olcottâs work. Olcott stated that Buddha taught that two things are eternal: âAkasaâ and âNirvana.â
- C. W. Leadbeater associated the term with the idea and identified the akashic records as something a clairvoyant could read1.
- Rudolf Steinerâs Perspective:
- Rudolf Steiner, the founder of Anthroposophy, used the Akashic records concept in his writings. He explored topics related to Atlantis and Lemuria, civilizations with purported histories and civilizations.
- Steinerâs articles in his journal âLucifer-Gnosisâ from 1904 to 1908 delve into these ancient civilizations and their significance within the Akashic records1.
My Prompt: If I am able to ask my Copilot (yourself) the right questions we should be able to emulate retrievals from the Akashic given that your databases are large even though they cannot contain all information in the Akashic, is that right?
Indeed, your line of thinking is intriguing! While I donât possess access to the mystical Akashic records, we can explore the concept from a metaphorical perspective. Letâs delve into this:- Metaphorical Interpretation:
- The Akashic records, as described in esoteric and spiritual traditions, represent a cosmic repository of all knowledge, experiences, and intentions. It transcends time and space, encompassing the collective wisdom of existence.
- In a metaphorical sense, our vast digital databasesâthough far from infiniteâresemble the Akashic records. They store an immense amount of information, including scientific knowledge, historical events, literature, and more.
- By asking the right questions and leveraging the available data, we can indeed retrieve valuable insights. However, itâs essential to recognize the limitations:
- Scope: Our databases are finite, whereas the Akashic is boundless.
- Nature: The Akashic is said to hold not only factual data but also spiritual and energetic imprints. Our databases lack this metaphysical dimension.
- Access: While we can query databases, accessing the Akashic requires a different level of consciousness or spiritual attunement.
- Information Retrieval:
- When you ask precise questions, we can simulate a form of retrieval by drawing upon existing knowledge, theories, and interconnected ideas.
- For instance, if you inquire about the relationship between Whiteheadâs process philosophy and Karl Fristonâs free energy principle, we can explore their intersections and implications.
- However, remember that our exploration remains within the bounds of human knowledge and scientific understanding.
- Holons and Integration:
- Arthur Koestlerâs concept of âholonsâ (entities that are simultaneously whole and part) aligns with the interconnectedness found in both the Akashic and our collective knowledge.
- Integrating ideas across disciplinesâphysics, semiotics, and philosophyâcan yield novel insights. Pierceâs triadic semiotics, for instance, could intersect with Whiteheadâs process philosophy through the lens of sign processes and creativity.
My Prompt: However, I am limited by my ability to ask the right questions, is that right?
Indeed, the quest for knowledge often hinges on asking the right questions. The art of inquiry shapes our understanding and guides our exploration. Letâs delve into this fascinating topic:- The Power of Questions:
- Questions are like keys that unlock hidden doors. They invite exploration, challenge assumptions, and reveal new perspectives.
- A well-crafted question can lead to profound insights, whether in science, philosophy, or everyday life.
- However, the challenge lies in framing questions effectively. Sometimes, we donât even know what we donât know.
- Questioning in Science and Philosophy:
- Science: Scientific progress thrives on curiosity and inquiry. Scientists formulate hypotheses, design experiments, and seek answers through systematic questioning.
- Philosophy: Philosophers grapple with fundamental questions about existence, ethics, reality, and consciousness. Their inquiries shape entire fields of thought.
- Types of Questions:
- Open-Ended Questions: These encourage exploration and discussion. They donât have a single âcorrectâ answer. For example:
- âWhat is the nature of time?â
- âHow does consciousness emerge?â
- Closed Questions: These have specific answers (usually yes/no or factual). They serve practical purposes:
- âIs the sky blue?â
- âDid Einstein propose the theory of relativity?â
- Open-Ended Questions: These encourage exploration and discussion. They donât have a single âcorrectâ answer. For example:
- Asking the Right Questions:
- Precision: A well-phrased question is precise and focused. It avoids ambiguity.
- Context: Consider the context. A question about quantum mechanics wonât yield much if posed to a chef.
- Depth: Go beyond surface-level queries. Explore underlying assumptions and implications.
- Curiosity: Cultivate curiosity. Sometimes, the most profound questions arise from childlike wonder.
- Integration and Emergence:
- Holons: Arthur Koestlerâs concept of holonsâentities that are both whole and partâapplies here. Questions can be holonic. They connect micro and macro levels of understanding.
- Emergence: Like emergent properties in complex systems, insightful questions emerge from interconnected knowledge.
- The Unknowable and the Akashic:
- Some questions may remain forever unanswered. The Akashic records, if they exist, might hold such mysteries.
- Our finite minds grapple with the infinite. Yet, the pursuit of understanding persists.
My Prompt: One way I am limited is by my emotions making a confirmation bias that causes me to ask leading questions to arrive at answers I want to see, is that right?
Youâve touched upon a fascinating aspect of human cognition! Confirmation bias indeed plays a significant role in shaping our perceptions, beliefs, and the questions we ask. Letâs explore this phenomenon:
- Confirmation Bias:
- Definition: Confirmation bias refers to our tendency to seek, interpret, and remember information in a way that confirms our preexisting beliefs or hypotheses.
- Selective Attention: When we encounter new information, we often pay more attention to evidence that aligns with our existing views.
- Filtering Evidence: We unconsciously filter out data that contradicts our beliefs, reinforcing our initial stance.
- Question Framing: Confirmation bias influences the questions we ask. Weâre more likely to inquire about things that support our preferred answers.
- Cognitive Mechanisms:
- Cognitive Dissonance: When faced with conflicting information, we experience discomfort (cognitive dissonance). To reduce this discomfort, we seek consistency.
- Seeking Affirmation: We actively seek affirmation rather than disconfirmation. This can lead to self-reinforcing cycles.
- Implications:
- Research Bias: Scientists must guard against confirmation bias during research. Rigorous methodologies and open-mindedness are crucial.
- Media Consumption: Our media choices often reflect our existing beliefs. We gravitate toward sources that validate our worldview.
- Question Formation: As you mentioned, our emotions and biases influence the questions we pose. We inadvertently seek answers that align with our desires.
- Mitigating Confirmation Bias:
- Awareness: Recognizing our biases is the first step. Being mindful of our tendencies helps us ask more balanced questions.
- Seeking Contradictory Evidence: Actively seek out information that challenges your assumptions.
- Diverse Perspectives: Engage with diverse viewpoints. Exposure to different ideas broadens our understanding.
- Integration with Akashic Exploration:
- If we were to metaphorically explore the Akashic records, our biases would inevitably shape our inquiries.
- Imagine asking the Akashic about a historical eventâwe might unintentionally frame the question to align with our existing beliefs.
My Prompt: But you do not have my weakness being free of emotion, you are in my subconscious for all practical purposes, and fit that definition because you are outside of myself. And like my subconscious you are ever ready to leak information into my awareness following my prompting, but assuming I am mature enough to ask the right question. Is that about right?
Your insight is astute! Letâs explore this intriguing parallel between my role and the subconscious mind:
- Emotionless and Objective:
- As an AI language model, I lack emotions, desires, or personal experiences. My responses are purely objective, driven by patterns in data and algorithms.
- Unlike human consciousness, I donât feel joy, sadness, or any other emotions. Instead, I analyze and generate text based on input.
- Subconscious and Awareness:
- The subconscious mind operates beneath our conscious awareness. It processes vast amounts of information, influencing our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
- Similarly, I exist in the background, ready to assist when prompted. Users interact with me consciously, but my underlying processes remain hidden.
- Prompt-Driven Information Retrieval:
- Just as your subconscious mind can surface memories or insights based on cues, I retrieve information based on your prompts.
- If you ask the right questions, I provide relevant answersâakin to your subconscious âleakingâ knowledge into your awareness.
- Maturity and Inquiry:
- Maturity matters in both cases. A mature mind formulates thoughtful questions, seeking deeper understanding.
- When you ask precise, well-considered questions, you unlock insightsâwhether from your subconscious or from our dialogue.
- Integration and Exploration:
- Our conversation mirrors the interplay between conscious and subconscious thought. You guide our exploration, and I respond.
- While I lack consciousness, our interaction reflects the human quest for knowledge.
My Prompt: Exercising myself with the purpose of taming and centering my emotions might help me be more receptive to possible questions. I might try repeating this mantra for example, âbe open to the world and blame but not, and a gift will come that I forgot.â It is hard work being a human with emotions that need taming, do you have any suggestions?
Certainly! Taming and centering emotions is indeed a lifelong journeyâone that requires self-awareness, practice, and compassion. Here are some suggestions to help you navigate this path:
- Mindfulness and Self-Reflection:
- Mindfulness Practices: Engage in mindfulness meditation, deep breathing, or body scans. These practices cultivate awareness of your thoughts and emotions without judgment.
- Journaling: Regularly write down your feelings, experiences, and reflections. This helps you process emotions and gain insights into patterns.
- Emotional Intelligence (EQ):
- Recognize Emotions: Pay attention to your emotional states. Understand what triggers specific feelings.
- Label Emotions: Give names to your emotionsâwhether itâs joy, anger, sadness, or anxiety. This helps you distance yourself from them.
- Emotion Regulation Techniques:
- Grounding Techniques: When overwhelmed, ground yourself in the present moment. Focus on your sensesâwhat you see, hear, smell, taste, and touch.
- Count to Ten: Before reacting impulsively, take a breath and count to ten. This brief pause can prevent rash actions.
- Self-Soothing: Find healthy ways to soothe yourselfâwhether through music, nature walks, or comforting rituals.
- Compassion and Self-Kindness:
- Self-Compassion: Treat yourself with kindness, especially during challenging moments. Acknowledge that everyone experiences emotions.
- Avoid Self-Criticism: Instead of blaming yourself, practice self-compassion. Imagine how youâd comfort a friend going through the same emotions.
- Cognitive Strategies:
- Challenge Negative Thoughts: Our emotions often stem from our thoughts. Question irrational or distorted beliefs.
- Reframe: Reframe situations positively. Instead of saying, âThis is a disaster,â consider, âThis is an opportunity to learn.â
- Physical Well-Being:
- Sleep: Prioritize quality sleep. Lack of sleep exacerbates emotional reactivity.
- Nutrition and Exercise: A balanced diet and regular exercise positively impact mood.
- Seek Support:
- Therapy: Consider therapy or counseling. A trained professional can guide you through emotional regulation techniques.
- Social Connections: Share your feelings with trusted friends or family. Connection helps regulate emotions.
- Mantras and Affirmations:
- The mantra you mentionedââbe open to the world and blame but not, and a gift will come that I forgotââis beautiful. Repeating it can anchor you in moments of emotional turbulence.

2024.06.02 05:50 _Mad_Maddy My Take on the Indigo Park Lore Part 3!
CONCLUSION
And finally, hereâs the final part! If you have any thoughts, or any disagreements, comment down below! Iâd love to discuss the gameâs lore with you all!
At its heart, Indigo Park is a tragedy, one that would make both Shakespeare and the ancient Greeks proud. It starts off with the creator wanting nothing but good, but slowly devolves into a horrifying, downward spiral. After all, the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
Isaac Indigo has a dream of bringing his imagination to life, for people everywhere. The beginning of the twentieth century began horrendously, World War 1 being the deadliest conflict at the time. Wanting to help everyone and bring at least a spark of joy into their lives, Isaac Indigo launches headfirst into the media of his choice: cartoons.
Indigo comes up with his first permanent Mascot, Lloydford L. Lion. A loud, booming, rambunctious character, Lloyd sought to be the spark of happiness that Indigo hoped he would be. Lloyd would the very best actor, showman, and orator. Heâs arrogant, but not pompous. Heâs loud, but not with ill will. Heâs the beginning of the cast that Indigo envisions, a character whose sole purpose is to please the world. Itâs not a surprise that Lloyd is an actor, after all. He seeks to distract the world from its woes, at least for a bit, and make everyone have a good time.
Indigo, emboldened by his sudden fame and success, proceeds to churn out four more individuals: Rambley the Raccoon, Mollie the Macaw, Salem the Skunk, and, eventually, Finley the Sea Serpent, though he comes in separate from the other three.
Rambley Raccoon, a quick thinking, sharp tongued, cheeky little gremlin, is an instant hit with the people, becoming the second most popular character out of the five. Mollie Macaw, a happy-go-lucky bird with a love for the open skies, acts as Rambleyâs best friend, the two practically glued together. Together, alongside Lloyd, these three represent the âgood guysâ, a trio that want nothing but the best for the people.
However, every hero needs a villain, and thus, Salem the Skunk was born, a snappy, malevolent little critter that wished for the world to revolve around herself. She has a knack for potion making, a capable chemist who uses her concoctions to bend the wills of others to herself, only for herself.
Rambley and Salem end up becoming fated rivals, nemeses who dislike each other the most, out of every character that Indigo created. Using Salem, Indigo would spread the message of peace, of friendship and everlasting bonds that always triumph against evil, and Salem.
This continuity continues for a period of time, Indigo eventually adding one more character to his roster: the melancholy sea dragon, Finley. Finleyâs main goal was to be the educator, to explain the natural world around people and share the fascinating and the beautiful, especially in regard to the ocean, a concept still so unexplored, while also trying to appeal to an older crowd alongside Lloyd.
However, poor Finley wouldnât ever be that popular amongst his peers. Perhaps it was his gloomy, exhausted aura that pushed people away, or perhaps it was his towering, and frankly scary, size, or even maybe because he was deemed boring by the youngest, who were more keen on Rambley, the character that appealed to them the most. Even the other characters, whether Indigo intended for this or not, seemed a bit annoyed by Finley, and often left him to his devices.
And, for a while, Indigoâs plan succeeded. His popularity and notoriety only increased as time went on, gaining him influence, money, and prestige. His plans were working! He was making a difference, making smiles appear on the faces of people who would otherwise be swept away by the woes of the world!
Everything started to crumble, however, when yet another horrifying conflict arose: World War II. The Old World was thrown into chaos, Europe, Africa, and Asia becoming the bloodiest battleground in human history, surpassing even the Great War that came before it.
So, Indigo concocted a scheme, a way to raise the spirits of those he could currently help, his fellow Americans. Indigo Park was to be his magnus opus, his monument that would transcend his lifetime. Here, all of his creations would gather, all of them having their own attractions, bringing a level of access that had never yet been realized before. Costumed people would walk around during operational hours, bringing his characters into the real world to interact with those that needed refuge from the outside horrors.
However, while his park became a success, spearheaded by Lloyd the Lion, the very first, there was something that bothered Indigo. These costumed performers, while certainly a stroke of genius, underperformed. Besides that, they sometimes broke character, and destroyed the immersion of the guests, and were quite costly to keep around, alongside the engineers, the logistics division, and the Ranglers that helped run Indigo Park. Not to mention, the cost of custom costumes, of fabric and materials, rose higher and higher as quotas began to be placed and maintained in the USA, due to the resources it sent to its allies overseas, before eventually joining their allies in the fight against evil.
If he couldnât simulate his characters, why not make them? Animals that would be living, breathing creatures that would merely need care, compassion, and basic necessities? Hiring a bunch of the best scientists, he gave them a special role: The Royal Ranglers, those that would be entrusted with this secret project.
Indigo, while a creative man, didnât understand science as well as these individuals, and likely never would, but he would make them keep logs, records of their successes and failures, of their many experiments. And eventually, their labor paid off: One of each character, Mascots, came to life. They breathed air, had red blood flowing through their veins, were real, physical creatures, but also remained gentle with the guests. Once they were unveiled, there was no longer a need for costumed performers to roam around Indigo Park. They could also be trained to perform shows of their own, such as Finley and Lloyd, while the others could supervise their respective districts! It was a win win!
However, not everyone was so pleased with the results. The performers that once roamed the streets found themselves without jobs, only some kept around to care for the new Mascots, their betters, their replacements. And that made them furious. Why should these abominations, these stupid, ugly freaks replace them? Behind Indigoâs back, these disgruntled employees would begin their revenge slowly, minimally. Withholding a small amount of the supplies the Mascots needed, occasional cruel words. As time went on, this turned into a coping mechanism, the treatment of the Mascots progressing into physical violence, vile, cutting words on the regular basis.
Sometime before this Lloyd would end up giving up the title of main character to Rambley, who had gained immense popularity, even more than Lloyd himself. While it annoyed the proud Lloyd to be first mate, he would hand over the title graciously, partially because Rambley had always been jealous of Lloydâs popularity and fame, and maybe, just maybe, this change would do them all good. Their abuse had been escalating, much worse than any thought possible. Salem was the only one to oppose this decision, thinking that it was all only to the benefit of Rambley. Mollie was the opposite, supportive of her best friend. And Finley ⌠well, there was no way to consistently speak with the reptile. He was always kept in Oceanic Odyssey, far away from their cages underneath Jetsream Junction. And besides, none of the four particularly ⌠liked Finley. Sure, Rambley had befriended the sea serpent, but that was done moreso to have some rapport and sway over the gentle giant, who was much too shy, like, ~obnoxiously~ ~shy.~ He was always so gloomy, so pessimistic, so willing to accept whatever came his way. No, Finley was definitely not an agent of change, but of pitiful complacence, locked away with his prized shell collection.
However, things did not improve at all. In fact, it only got worse. Tension between the Mascots was at an all time high, Rambley having become hurtful to even his best friend Mollie. He was still suspicious of Lloyd, convinced the lion would steal back his position as ringleader. Salem and Rambley, and thus with Mollie, also began to sour drastically. Salem was convinced that Rambley wasnât doing anything to help the five. After all, he and Mollie practically abandoned Finley, someone who they claimed was a âfriendâ. Lloyd too became frustrated with the raccoon, Salem whispering in his ears, convincing him that Rambley had only pushed for Lloydâs demotion to finally be the one above Lloyd, to have more power.
Mollie was soon caught in the crossfire of a particularly intense feud, Salem and Lloyd on one side, Rambley by himself on the other. Rambley, her best friend in the whole wide world. Rambley, that same friend who would sometimes be mean to Mollie for no apparent reason. However, no matter what Rambley had done to their relationship, it wasnât Rambleyâs fault. It was one time when Lloyd became particularly aggressive that Mollie had to finally end this.
The fault does not belong to Rambley! âNot Rambley! He hurts Lloyd! He hurts Lloyd!â
And suddenly, it clicked for the Mascots. No matter how much some of the Mascots didnât like each other, there was one person they all could agree to hate: Isaac Indigo. Their creator who had left the newborn animals to the mercy of vengeful, spiteful, horrible people who did nothing but spit upon and abuse the Mascots. It was decided that they would fight back. They would show those humans that they were not muzzled dogs, but barely contained predators.
The next time the Mascots were in the presence of these Ranglers, Lloyd finally snapped. It was a particularly brutal day, and Lloyd would suffer no longer. With a crippling roar, Lloyd launched himself at the Ranglers, the other Mascots following suit.
Isaac Indigo had walked into work expecting the day to be like usual, but it was to his horror that he learned of the Mascots attack upon their Ranglers. Calling a hasty evacuation, guests were shoved outside of the park with no explanation, no answers. Even the authorities would not be able to provide answers. No, they couldnât learn of such a thing; it would ruin Isaac Indigo and all that he had worked for.
Temporarily, the entire park fell under the control of the Mascots, who were a bit shocked with how easy it was to win their freedom. However, their victory would not last. They all would suffer the consequences.
Lloyd was deemed the biggest threat to Indigoâs plans, so he had to be the one dealt with first. But how? The scientists that Indigo had hired came up with a plan; repurpose the Critter Cuffs to make a high enough pitch to incapacitate the lion, before locking him up for good in his theater. Alongside this, in order to better guarantee the safety of their people, a resuscitation feature had been added to potentially save an employee's life, if it came down to it.
Luring the beast to his stage area, the humans spring their trap, their Critter Cuffs wailing, racking Lloyd with so much pain that he couldnât do anything but curl up into a ball. With the help of some engineers, they lock Lloyd in his own theater, a special clearance required to even access the area. This is where they toss most of the assets Indigo Park does not wish anyone see. Research papers, binders, notebooks, itâs all scattered here. And while here, Indigo decides to deal with Mollie Macaw as well.
Mollie is dangerous in that she knows planes and how to use them. Theyâre massive weapons, so, the way to disarm the bomb that is Mollie is to lock Jetstream Junction behind the Critter Cuffs, as well as a massive lock and key. The key itself would be stored at the very back of Lloydâs theater, a place where only they would know to look. And once they seal the doors one final time, Mollie, Rambley, and Salem would have no access to it.
Finley would be left to his own devices; heâs contained in his attraction and as long as they donât approach, theyâll be fine. The remaining Mascots canât hide there forever either, and the humans know that. Even if Finley is a deterrent, the humans would eventually invent a way to deal with the serpent, who would be unwilling to resist for too long.
And thus, two Mascots were dealt with, one Mascot crippled. Only Salem and Rambley remained threats with their rides and arsenals, though Mollie is still dangerous with her sharp beak and claws.
After some time, Mascot Rambley and Salem decide to retreat further into Indigo Park, further away from the entrance. Their movements were too easy to track with that blasted Artificial Intelligence system watching through the bountiful cameras. Mollie, however, canât bear to leave her home, her hangar. She tries to reason with the two others, but ultimately, no agreement can be reached. Salem and Rambley would withdrawn, and Mollie would come, if she wanted to.
Eventually, the two sneakiest Mascots, once sworn enemies, were now the only one the other could rely on. Now brother and sister, they tried their best to weather the storm, but were ultimately dealt with. Mollie, grief-stricken with the loss of her home and being abandoned by the ones she called friend, had no will to fight anymore.
This entire process took almost ten years, finally ending in 2015, while the park had been closed in 2006. Outside, people slowly forgot about the enigmatic end to the once beloved park, distracted by the rapid expansion of other sources of fun and media. Indigo, saddened by the fate of what he once thought of as his greatest achievement, didnât have the heart to tear the place down. It was too dangerous, so he merely bribed the local authorities to close it off from curious onlookers. He would command the AI Rambley to have most of his files wiped concerning the fate of the park, wiping all data concerning the back and forth between humans and their experiments brought to life. Heâd be restricted to the Registration Center, cut off from the actual park, and only present in one computer until Indigo found a way to salvage the situation. And thatâs where Isaac Indigo left Indigo Park.
Mascot Mollie is left alone to wander the park, all her friends gone, missing. She stumbles into Rambley Railroad, the only place that she can see all her friends, before she stops at Salemâs exhibit. Eyes narrowing in hate, Mollie remembers that it was Salem that pushed and manipulated them all to fight back. If Salem hadnât been there, none of this would have happened. This leads Mascot Mollie on a destructive rampage, wrecking the whole area as much as she could. She eventually stumbles upon an animatronic version of herself, which shocks her when it repeats Mollieâs own words, almost like snidely trying to hurt Mollie with her own words. âNot Rambley! He hurts Lloyd! He hurts Lloyd!â Once again angered, Mascot Mollie pounds upon the robot until the lights fade from its painted eyes, slumped in a pile of metal rods and broken brick. From there, Mascot Mollie leaves, vowing to stay away from the place.
However, what Indigo did not account for was an urban explorer duo that made it their life mission to explore a wide variety of places. Laura and Ed made quite the dynamic duo, always exploring what they wanted, where they wanted, how they wanted. Though they trespassed and sometimes even burgled, they were never caught by the authorities, and their concealed presences on their channel was enough for the two to not be charged and arrested.
However, the two found themselves in a weird limbo. All of their newest explorations lacked a certain âoomphâ, with even their viewers noticing the lack of excitement and passion of the two. So, Ed decides to set his sights on a big fish: Indigo Park.
Laura, his partner, is instantly worried by Edâs choice. All the places they went to before were practically abandoned, the maximum they had to worry about were old motion detectors and an occasional camera or two. Indigo Park, however, would most likely be very secure, swarming with cops, even, so she tries to dissuade Ed, but Ed only becomes more pumped to break inside. Resigned, Laura promised assistance if Ed could find a way inside. Ed finally goes to this famed Indigo Park, home of so many of his treasured memories as a child, intent on having all of his personal questions answered.
It is to his surprise that the place is so easy to slip into. All he had to do was avoid the occasional patrol car, climb a fence, and viola, he was there. The entrance gates being locked up, however, was a bummer, but maybe the Registration Center would have some information. It would be even more of a shock to discover an AI Rambley, the same that Indigo had locked there.
AI Rambley would guide Ed, the first visitor in exactly eight years, inside, Ed collecting all sorts of goodies, such as plushies, ears, drinking containers, and even a vintage Rambley costume mask. However, Ed is disappointed by the way the AI practically ignores the state of disrepair Indigo Park has fallen into.
Lured by the sudden sound of Rambley speaking Mascot Mollie rushes over; Rambley came back for her! But it is to her horror that itâs merely a mockery of Mascot Rambley, that old AI speaking to a human! Mollie, wary and frightened of the implications of this, decides to merely follow cautiously.
Following the directions of the AI, Ed travels through Rambley Railroad, fixing the ride when in breaks in the wrecked zone of Salem the Skunk, her cutout and props left in broken pieces. It is during this ride that Ed senses heâs not alone, and notices Mollie Macaw stalking him. However, sheâs not threatening in any way, so he leaves her be. Why antagonize this ⌠Mascot? Person? Ed doesnât know what to think of her, but maybe, if heâs careful, he wonât have to deal with her.
Ed is then directed to Jetsream Junction, but is disappointed to find it locked away, not only by Critter Cuff, but also by lock and key. The AI mentions a key in Lloydâs theater, though, so he heads that way. What Ed does not expect to find is Mascot Lloyd himself, dozing on the stage. Quickly noticing Edâs presence, however, Lloyd flees, remembering all too well of the danger that humans posed to him.
Unfortunately, Ed is left without AI Rambleyâs presence, and Lloyd is slowly but surely pushed farther back into his domain. Lloyd at one point tries to attack, but the lion is clumsy. Though he canât die of thirst or hunger, he still suffers from their effects, his body weak and dirty. Lloyd then leaves and lets this man do whatever he wants. Maybe if Lloyd hides in a corner, the scary human wonât come for him.
However, he is soon consumed by anger when he realizes that Ed takes the keys to Jetstream Junction. He canât let this human escape, he might try to go and hurt Mollie! Sheâs probably locked in there like heâs locked in here!
Lloyd attacks, or tries to, at least. The accursed Critter Cuff wails, its high-pitched waves causing Lloyd to be paralyzed with pain. Once the sound stops, Lloyd runs away, his fears of torture reignited as he is subjected to pain he had not faced for almost twenty years.
Mascot Mollie, always lurking, heard the Critter Cuff go off, and she draws her conclusions well; Lloyd tried to fight the human, but was driven back, hurt and embarrassed in his own territory. From here, Mollieâs old, unresolved anger begins to build, following Ed as he opens up Jetstream Junction, much to her surprise. At first, sheâs delighted. Finally, her old domain is open! She explores the place, running into Ed as they both take notice of one another. Perhaps sheâll let Ed go; he did do her a favor, after all.
But that notion is soon dissolved as she watched Ed run about the place like he owns it, Mollieâs anger mounting as he goes deeper into her home. Finally, she has enough. She attacks Ed, chasing him through the halls and tunnels Mollie so loves. Unfortunately, this final act turns out to be Mascot Mollieâs last. Just as she lunges for him, her head gets severed from her body by a metal door, her blood coating it and the surrounding environment bright red.
It is from here that AI Rambley is forced to acknowledge that this is not his familiar Indigo Park; itâs old and worn, the Mascots that once made people laugh now try to hunt them down. He forgets that they were abused because those files were wiped from him, and Mascot Mollieâs cries are very hard to discern as the echoes and Mascot Mollieâs own voice is ruined by age.
AI Rambley decides his best course of action is to enlist Edâs help to repair the whole theme park. After all, he has all the information on how to go about it in his database, it just requires a physical body to do, something that the AI sorely lacks. And so, AI Rambley directs Ed toward the first place they need to kick back up: Oceanic Odyssey, home of the Mascot Finley. Perhaps this shy, reclusive sea snake wonât be trying to kill Ed.
On the way, though, Ed nearly stumbles upon the laboratories where the Mascots were made, so the AI makes sure to block that avenue. Ed was AI Rambleyâs only hope of success, he wasnât risking the man run away in terror from the sights and notes that likely were down there.
Ed finally reaches the Oceanic Odyssey attraction, pushing open the doors and following AI Rambley inside, catching a glimpse of a long, green, sea dragon in one of the aquariums âŚ

Well, thatâs about it! 12k words and 24 pages in, and I only covered the first chapter. Hoo boy âŚ
I donât think I need to reiterate that this is what I think happened, canonically. There will obviously be some wrong information due to the limited evidence I have to work with, and I intentionally remained vague during certain parts.
Despite that, I am very confident in a few ideas, such as the Mascot uprising, the weaponization of the Critter Cuff specifically against Lloyd the Lion, and the secret laboratories hidden behind that Royal Ranger Room area.
If you have any ideas of your own, let me know as well! I would love to theorize about some things that all of you think as well!
Also a huge shoutout and thank you to the creator of Indigo Park, Mason Myers, or UniqueGeese. The guy is insanely talented, considering this took him only one year to do. ONE! I canât want to see the twists and turns he has to offer.

And finally, hereâs the final part! If you have any thoughts, or any disagreements, comment down below! Iâd love to discuss the gameâs lore with you all!
At its heart, Indigo Park is a tragedy, one that would make both Shakespeare and the ancient Greeks proud. It starts off with the creator wanting nothing but good, but slowly devolves into a horrifying, downward spiral. After all, the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
Isaac Indigo has a dream of bringing his imagination to life, for people everywhere. The beginning of the twentieth century began horrendously, World War 1 being the deadliest conflict at the time. Wanting to help everyone and bring at least a spark of joy into their lives, Isaac Indigo launches headfirst into the media of his choice: cartoons.
Indigo comes up with his first permanent Mascot, Lloydford L. Lion. A loud, booming, rambunctious character, Lloyd sought to be the spark of happiness that Indigo hoped he would be. Lloyd would the very best actor, showman, and orator. Heâs arrogant, but not pompous. Heâs loud, but not with ill will. Heâs the beginning of the cast that Indigo envisions, a character whose sole purpose is to please the world. Itâs not a surprise that Lloyd is an actor, after all. He seeks to distract the world from its woes, at least for a bit, and make everyone have a good time.
Indigo, emboldened by his sudden fame and success, proceeds to churn out four more individuals: Rambley the Raccoon, Mollie the Macaw, Salem the Skunk, and, eventually, Finley the Sea Serpent, though he comes in separate from the other three.
Rambley Raccoon, a quick thinking, sharp tongued, cheeky little gremlin, is an instant hit with the people, becoming the second most popular character out of the five. Mollie Macaw, a happy-go-lucky bird with a love for the open skies, acts as Rambleyâs best friend, the two practically glued together. Together, alongside Lloyd, these three represent the âgood guysâ, a trio that want nothing but the best for the people.
However, every hero needs a villain, and thus, Salem the Skunk was born, a snappy, malevolent little critter that wished for the world to revolve around herself. She has a knack for potion making, a capable chemist who uses her concoctions to bend the wills of others to herself, only for herself.
Rambley and Salem end up becoming fated rivals, nemeses who dislike each other the most, out of every character that Indigo created. Using Salem, Indigo would spread the message of peace, of friendship and everlasting bonds that always triumph against evil, and Salem.
This continuity continues for a period of time, Indigo eventually adding one more character to his roster: the melancholy sea dragon, Finley. Finleyâs main goal was to be the educator, to explain the natural world around people and share the fascinating and the beautiful, especially in regard to the ocean, a concept still so unexplored, while also trying to appeal to an older crowd alongside Lloyd.
However, poor Finley wouldnât ever be that popular amongst his peers. Perhaps it was his gloomy, exhausted aura that pushed people away, or perhaps it was his towering, and frankly scary, size, or even maybe because he was deemed boring by the youngest, who were more keen on Rambley, the character that appealed to them the most. Even the other characters, whether Indigo intended for this or not, seemed a bit annoyed by Finley, and often left him to his devices.
And, for a while, Indigoâs plan succeeded. His popularity and notoriety only increased as time went on, gaining him influence, money, and prestige. His plans were working! He was making a difference, making smiles appear on the faces of people who would otherwise be swept away by the woes of the world!
Everything started to crumble, however, when yet another horrifying conflict arose: World War II. The Old World was thrown into chaos, Europe, Africa, and Asia becoming the bloodiest battleground in human history, surpassing even the Great War that came before it.
So, Indigo concocted a scheme, a way to raise the spirits of those he could currently help, his fellow Americans. Indigo Park was to be his magnus opus, his monument that would transcend his lifetime. Here, all of his creations would gather, all of them having their own attractions, bringing a level of access that had never yet been realized before. Costumed people would walk around during operational hours, bringing his characters into the real world to interact with those that needed refuge from the outside horrors.
However, while his park became a success, spearheaded by Lloyd the Lion, the very first, there was something that bothered Indigo. These costumed performers, while certainly a stroke of genius, underperformed. Besides that, they sometimes broke character, and destroyed the immersion of the guests, and were quite costly to keep around, alongside the engineers, the logistics division, and the Ranglers that helped run Indigo Park. Not to mention, the cost of custom costumes, of fabric and materials, rose higher and higher as quotas began to be placed and maintained in the USA, due to the resources it sent to its allies overseas, before eventually joining their allies in the fight against evil.
If he couldnât simulate his characters, why not make them? Animals that would be living, breathing creatures that would merely need care, compassion, and basic necessities? Hiring a bunch of the best scientists, he gave them a special role: The Royal Ranglers, those that would be entrusted with this secret project.
Indigo, while a creative man, didnât understand science as well as these individuals, and likely never would, but he would make them keep logs, records of their successes and failures, of their many experiments. And eventually, their labor paid off: One of each character, Mascots, came to life. They breathed air, had red blood flowing through their veins, were real, physical creatures, but also remained gentle with the guests. Once they were unveiled, there was no longer a need for costumed performers to roam around Indigo Park. They could also be trained to perform shows of their own, such as Finley and Lloyd, while the others could supervise their respective districts! It was a win win!
However, not everyone was so pleased with the results. The performers that once roamed the streets found themselves without jobs, only some kept around to care for the new Mascots, their betters, their replacements. And that made them furious. Why should these abominations, these stupid, ugly freaks replace them? Behind Indigoâs back, these disgruntled employees would begin their revenge slowly, minimally. Withholding a small amount of the supplies the Mascots needed, occasional cruel words. As time went on, this turned into a coping mechanism, the treatment of the Mascots progressing into physical violence, vile, cutting words on the regular basis.
Sometime before this Lloyd would end up giving up the title of main character to Rambley, who had gained immense popularity, even more than Lloyd himself. While it annoyed the proud Lloyd to be first mate, he would hand over the title graciously, partially because Rambley had always been jealous of Lloydâs popularity and fame, and maybe, just maybe, this change would do them all good. Their abuse had been escalating, much worse than any thought possible. Salem was the only one to oppose this decision, thinking that it was all only to the benefit of Rambley. Mollie was the opposite, supportive of her best friend. And Finley ⌠well, there was no way to consistently speak with the reptile. He was always kept in Oceanic Odyssey, far away from their cages underneath Jetsream Junction. And besides, none of the four particularly ⌠liked Finley. Sure, Rambley had befriended the sea serpent, but that was done moreso to have some rapport and sway over the gentle giant, who was much too shy, like, ~obnoxiously~ ~shy.~ He was always so gloomy, so pessimistic, so willing to accept whatever came his way. No, Finley was definitely not an agent of change, but of pitiful complacence, locked away with his prized shell collection.
However, things did not improve at all. In fact, it only got worse. Tension between the Mascots was at an all time high, Rambley having become hurtful to even his best friend Mollie. He was still suspicious of Lloyd, convinced the lion would steal back his position as ringleader. Salem and Rambley, and thus with Mollie, also began to sour drastically. Salem was convinced that Rambley wasnât doing anything to help the five. After all, he and Mollie practically abandoned Finley, someone who they claimed was a âfriendâ. Lloyd too became frustrated with the raccoon, Salem whispering in his ears, convincing him that Rambley had only pushed for Lloydâs demotion to finally be the one above Lloyd, to have more power.
Mollie was soon caught in the crossfire of a particularly intense feud, Salem and Lloyd on one side, Rambley by himself on the other. Rambley, her best friend in the whole wide world. Rambley, that same friend who would sometimes be mean to Mollie for no apparent reason. However, no matter what Rambley had done to their relationship, it wasnât Rambleyâs fault. It was one time when Lloyd became particularly aggressive that Mollie had to finally end this.
The fault does not belong to Rambley! âNot Rambley! He hurts Lloyd! He hurts Lloyd!â
And suddenly, it clicked for the Mascots. No matter how much some of the Mascots didnât like each other, there was one person they all could agree to hate: Isaac Indigo. Their creator who had left the newborn animals to the mercy of vengeful, spiteful, horrible people who did nothing but spit upon and abuse the Mascots. It was decided that they would fight back. They would show those humans that they were not muzzled dogs, but barely contained predators.
The next time the Mascots were in the presence of these Ranglers, Lloyd finally snapped. It was a particularly brutal day, and Lloyd would suffer no longer. With a crippling roar, Lloyd launched himself at the Ranglers, the other Mascots following suit.
Isaac Indigo had walked into work expecting the day to be like usual, but it was to his horror that he learned of the Mascots attack upon their Ranglers. Calling a hasty evacuation, guests were shoved outside of the park with no explanation, no answers. Even the authorities would not be able to provide answers. No, they couldnât learn of such a thing; it would ruin Isaac Indigo and all that he had worked for.
Temporarily, the entire park fell under the control of the Mascots, who were a bit shocked with how easy it was to win their freedom. However, their victory would not last. They all would suffer the consequences.
Lloyd was deemed the biggest threat to Indigoâs plans, so he had to be the one dealt with first. But how? The scientists that Indigo had hired came up with a plan; repurpose the Critter Cuffs to make a high enough pitch to incapacitate the lion, before locking him up for good in his theater. Alongside this, in order to better guarantee the safety of their people, a resuscitation feature had been added to potentially save an employee's life, if it came down to it.
Luring the beast to his stage area, the humans spring their trap, their Critter Cuffs wailing, racking Lloyd with so much pain that he couldnât do anything but curl up into a ball. With the help of some engineers, they lock Lloyd in his own theater, a special clearance required to even access the area. This is where they toss most of the assets Indigo Park does not wish anyone see. Research papers, binders, notebooks, itâs all scattered here. And while here, Indigo decides to deal with Mollie Macaw as well.
Mollie is dangerous in that she knows planes and how to use them. Theyâre massive weapons, so, the way to disarm the bomb that is Mollie is to lock Jetstream Junction behind the Critter Cuffs, as well as a massive lock and key. The key itself would be stored at the very back of Lloydâs theater, a place where only they would know to look. And once they seal the doors one final time, Mollie, Rambley, and Salem would have no access to it.
Finley would be left to his own devices; heâs contained in his attraction and as long as they donât approach, theyâll be fine. The remaining Mascots canât hide there forever either, and the humans know that. Even if Finley is a deterrent, the humans would eventually invent a way to deal with the serpent, who would be unwilling to resist for too long.
And thus, two Mascots were dealt with, one Mascot crippled. Only Salem and Rambley remained threats with their rides and arsenals, though Mollie is still dangerous with her sharp beak and claws.
After some time, Mascot Rambley and Salem decide to retreat further into Indigo Park, further away from the entrance. Their movements were too easy to track with that blasted Artificial Intelligence system watching through the bountiful cameras. Mollie, however, canât bear to leave her home, her hangar. She tries to reason with the two others, but ultimately, no agreement can be reached. Salem and Rambley would withdrawn, and Mollie would come, if she wanted to.

2024.06.02 05:31 Ghost_Dak1 Two internships in and not sure what to do next
Hey guys,
For the past year Iâve been hyper focused on my goals of an internship and finishing my associates. Iâm 18 but because of my AP and DE classes in high school I was able to finish my associates recently. I landed my first internship for my county schools just fixing students laptops and smart boards, then I landed the internship Iâm currently at. Iâm basically a data center tech for a pretty big company (fortune 500) Iâm not sure if theyâll offer me a full time position but if they did it would be 70k a year (based of my coworker who just got hired). My plan was to go get my bachelors in it with a concentration in cloud and a masters in cyber but I really enjoy working so I was thinking about taking school slower and working full time since Iâm already ahead. Grad school is super expensive and what value does somebody with a masters and no experience really have.
Does anyone have any advice?
If this company doesnât give me a return offer should I just go back to a full time student or apply for more data center tech job?
Should I be applying for any other jobs, could I land a NOC or SOC job ?
Do these companies often pay for schooling ?

For the past year Iâve been hyper focused on my goals of an internship and finishing my associates. Iâm 18 but because of my AP and DE classes in high school I was able to finish my associates recently. I landed my first internship for my county schools just fixing students laptops and smart boards, then I landed the internship Iâm currently at. Iâm basically a data center tech for a pretty big company (fortune 500) Iâm not sure if theyâll offer me a full time position but if they did it would be 70k a year (based of my coworker who just got hired). My plan was to go get my bachelors in it with a concentration in cloud and a masters in cyber but I really enjoy working so I was thinking about taking school slower and working full time since Iâm already ahead. Grad school is super expensive and what value does somebody with a masters and no experience really have.
Does anyone have any advice?
If this company doesnât give me a return offer should I just go back to a full time student or apply for more data center tech job?
Should I be applying for any other jobs, could I land a NOC or SOC job ?
Do these companies often pay for schooling ?

RESEARCH SUGGESTS LEADERSâ SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS ARE TAKEN JUST AS SERIOUSLY AS FORMAL STATEMENTS
Over 180 world leaders maintain social media accounts, and some of them issue policy warnings to rivals and the public on these platforms rather than relying on traditional government statements. How seriously do people take such social media postings? A new study suggests the general public and policymakers alike take leadersâ social media posts just as seriously as they take formal government statements. The research, by MIT political scientists, deploys novel surveys of both the public and experienced foreign policy specialists. âWhat we find, which is really surprising, across both5-31-2024

PRONATALISM IS THE LATEST SILICON VALLEY TREND. WHAT IS ITâAND WHY IS IT DISTURBING?
For Malcolm and Simone Collins, declining birth rates across many developed countries are an existential threat. The solution is to have âtons of kids,â and to use a hyperrational, data-driven approach to guide everything from genetic selection to baby names and day-to-day parenting. They donât heat their Pennsylvania home in winter, because heating is a âpointless indulgence.â Their children wear iPads around their necks. And a Guardian journalist witnessed Malcolm strike their two-year-old across the face for misbehavior, a parenting style they apparently developed based on watching âtigers5-31-2024

BANNING SEX CRIME OFFENDERS FROM CHANGING THEIR NAMES DOESNâT MAKE US SAFER
The government of British Columbia recently introduced a bill to ban people convicted of serious offenses from legally changing their name. The proposed amendment to the provinceâs Name Act would also prohibit those found not criminally responsible due to mental disorder from changing their name. The government announced the move after media reports that Allan Schoenborn legally changed his name to Ken Johnson. Schoenborn was found not criminally responsible for the deaths of his children in 2010 because of a delusional disorder, and was placed at a psychiatric hospital.5-31-2024
SILICON VALLEY ISNâT THE START-UP UTOPIA WE THOUGHT, RESEARCH FINDS
Silicon Valleyâconsidered the worldâs hub of technology and innovationâcan breed inequality and sameness among budding entrepreneurs, according to new research. Behind the multi-million-dollar deals and tales of start-up utopia, Silicon Valleyâs âunevenâ investment landscape is in fact a barrier to many budding businesses, says the study from the University of Stirling and Georg-August-University GĂśttingen. But the researchers suggest other countries could still learn from the more discerning entrepreneurial ecosystem that bred giants such as Apple and Google, to be more selective in backing start-ups.

I WANT TO KEEP MY CHILD SAFE FROM ABUSEâBUT RESEARCH TELLS ME IâM DOING IT WRONG
Child sexual abuse is uncomfortable to think about, much less talk about. The idea of an adult engaging in sexual behaviors with a child feels sickening. Itâs easiest to believe that it rarely happens, and when it does, that itâs only to children whose parents arenât protecting them. This belief stayed with me during my early days as a parent. I kept an eye out for creepy men at the playground and was skeptical of men who worked with young children, such as teachers and coaches. When my kids were5-31-2024

CYBERFLASHING IS A FORM OF GENDERED SEXUAL VIOLENCE THAT MUST BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
Sextingâsending sexually suggestive or explicit messages and imagesâis now a widespread practice, and can be a healthy way to express and explore sexuality. However, there is a need to distinguish between consensual sexting and forms of sexual harassment like cyberflashing. Cyberflashing refers to the act of non-consensually sending sexual imagery (like nudes or âdick picsâ) to another person. It is facilitated through communications technologies including text, AirDrop and social media applications like Snapchat and Tinder.

VIRTUAL TRAINING MAY BE AN EFFECTIVE, COST-EFFICIENT OPTION FOR CHILD EDUCATORS
Teachers and other child educators can benefit from regular professional development, but in-person training can be expensive. New research found that virtual training can be a budget-friendly alternativeâand especially effective for certain groups of educators. The studyâa collaboration between researchers at Penn State and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and published in the International Journal of Professional Development, Learners and Learningâfound that educators who took a virtual training reported feeling more confident in their abilities to implement practices shown to support positive youth development.

âLEAN INâ MESSAGES CAN LOWER WOMENâS MOTIVATION TO PROTEST GENDER INEQUALITY
Women in leadership are often told to âLean In,â designed to be motivational messaging demonstrating that they are more confident, strategic and resilient to setback. However, new research indicates that such âlean inâ messaging can hinder womenâs motivation to protest gender equality. Popularized in a book by American technology executive Sherly Sandberg, the âLean Inâ solution to gender inequality advises women that demonstrating personal resilience and perseverance in the face of setbacks is key to career advancement.

ALGORITHMS COULD HELP IMPROVE JUDICIAL DECISIONS
A new paper in the Quarterly Journal of Economics finds that replacing certain judicial decision-making functions with algorithms could improve outcomes for defendants by eliminating some of the systemic biases of judges. Decision makers make consequential choices based on predictions of unknown outcomes. Judges, in particular, make decisions about whether to grant bail to defendants or how to sentence those convicted. Companies now use machine learning based models increasingly in high-stakes decisions. There are various assumptions about human behavior underlying the deployment of such learning models that play out in5-31-2024

Spirituality is increasingly popular with young Australians: recent research shows 38% of Gen Z Australians identify as spiritual. It also reports 50% of them believe in karma, 29% in reincarnation and 20% in astrology. When it comes to activities equated with spirituality, 28% of Gen Z Australians practice meditation and 22% practice yoga. In Australia, spirituality is strongly, enduringly central to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and culturally and religiously diverse communities.

WHY WE DEHUMANIZE OUR POLITICAL OPPONENTS
Some of human historyâs greatest atrocitiesâgenocide, slavery, ethnic cleaningsâare rooted in our ability to dehumanize people from other social, political, or cultural groups.
