This is a communist subreddit for satirizing liberals from a far-left perspective. Liberalism is the ideology of capitalism, free markets, representative democracy, legal rights and state monopoly on violence. It includes a large portion of the present day political spectrum, from the centre-left social democrats to the far-right conservatives and American libertarians. When it comes to liberals, we don't discriminate between tendencies – we satirize all of them equally.

2024.05.29 06:52 Javacoma9988 City Commission is anti free speech.
https://www.youtube.com/live/-N4rYz-q22c?si=OXuihiDqmORIv-pC
From about the 28 minute mark and on, the city commission meeting devolved into some rather weak arguments for limiting free speech.
This is largely due to the people continuously protesting the Israel/Palestinian war and using most of the public comment periods to chastise the commission for not bending to their will. Agree or disagree with their tactics, (Personally I don't think it's effective, they're addressing the wrong level of government among other things you can see in my comment history) the Mayor and two other commissioners not allowing signs due to "safety concerns" because "the police can't see what is going on behind them" is probably the weakest example of leadership I've ever seen, and another example of how comfortable Mahoney is at openly lying.
There are 2-4 armed police officers at every commission meeting. If they don't feel safe, then they should resign instead of trample all over our First Amendment. I will support their right to hold up a sign I may not fully agree with so one day I can hold up a sign they may not agree with. That's what free speech is. I am beyond disappointed in Kolpak, Piepkorn, and Mayor Mahoney.

2024.05.29 06:52 PEEF_IS_A_PENIS_FART Health Novice here trying to do better. Looking for clarification concerning sugar/fiber/insulin.
- So I understand that eating a tomato in it's "right off the vine" form is the best way, because the effect that fructose has on your insulin levels is lessened because of the fiber. Putting a bunch of tomatoes through a juicer so that you can have tomato juice is therefore bad, right?
- Hypothetically, if you were to have this tomato juice along with a large salad high in fibedark green veg, will the salad slow down the absorption of fructose as much as full whole tomato would with the skin on?
- Would the salad perhaps slow it moreso?
- Is it somehow the best case scenario to eat the fiber that comes included in the fruit you're eating?
- Also, in another hypothetical, is the effect of fiber on your insulin levels diminished if the tomatoes are put through a blender? (maybe like making tomato puree without skinning/de-seeding?)
- ALSOOOO (last question I promise) I sometimes go on a juice fast with full veggies/roots, except for 2-3 tomatoes added to a daily gallon jug. Is this bad because of the juiced tomatoes? would 1 be better? or perhaps no fruit at all? (specifically during a juice fast)
- Thank you VERY much for any clarification you can give me. I'm at a really dangerous fork in the road concerning my health, and I've chosen to eat to live, for myself, and for my family, it's just really tough navigating the "healthscape" of the internet. - a health novice
- (I'm late getting to bed, so I can't reply to any of this until the morning. Thank you again.)
2024.05.29 06:46 XenoYTRT MechaGodzilla Fan Design
 | Today, I finished a drawing of MechaGodzilla, for this design, I combined aspects of the Kiryu and GvK designs which are my favorites! The lore for this one isn’t really that developed, so I’ll put what I have so far. I’ll start with the shown arsenal. The Mecha has rocket boosters on the back as well as the elbows and calves to increase the impact of physical attacks and to assist in movement (top speed is basically a power walk). The head is large and heavily armored to protect the pilot inside and has hydraulic powered jaws (the inside might be lined with giant meat grinders, but I haven’t decided). The back is lined with missile pods which release clouds of harmful chemicals when detonated. The chest opens up when the weapon inside is finished charging, it’s made to rival a Godzilla’s atomic breath. The tail ends in a weapon comparable to a stinger, once it pierces into an opponent, it ‘injects’ an explosive, operating under the theory that kaiju aren’t as immune to them on the inside. The Mecha also has drones that it can deploy, the drones are more for scouting and distracting opponents with spotlights and noise makers. The drones are shaped like dorsal plates and are normally docked in the Mecha’s back until deployed. As for the pilot, there is a seat in the Mecha’s head that the pilot straps into and puts on a headset that transfers the consciousness of the pilot into the body of the Mecha, hence the Mecha having proportions similar to a human. Originally, the Mecha was designed to be operated by multiple people, the main pilot controlling the Mecha, and others who would operate things like ranged weapons and drones as well as other technical stuff. However, the current pilot was able to operate everything on their own almost seamlessly, and they wouldn’t want it any other way. This pilot has wanted to control the Mecha since it was first being created, mainly cause of their hatred and desire for revenge/power on the kaiju, and also cause their the only one who was crazy/stupid enough to do it. As the years go by and as the pilot trains as the Mecha, they get more and more used to being in that body to the point of developing a sort of ‘phantom limb’ where the tail is and sometimes feel when the Mecha is being operated on, despite being disconnected. The Mecha has also been reported to make small movements on its own, even after being disconnected and powered off. I plan on drawing another version at some point similar to a Heavy Arms or Super variant, with lots of cannons and stuff attached, an then another based on Kiryu and the Earth designs that operates on its own with a much more ‘aggressive’ design. Anyway, what are your thoughts on this guy? submitted by XenoYTRT to GODZILLA [link] [comments] |
2024.05.29 06:46 sully711 The Newcomer's Guide to Army Composition -- The Dawi
With the surging success of Thrones of Decay and the recent positive news regarding Pharaoh, I'm honestly looking for a enjoyable project to ponder throughout the weekdays before heading home to work on my latest campaign. As such, I'm pleased to announce the introduction of The Newcomer's Guide to Army Composition, a multi-part series featuring effective generic and themed builds for each race within TWW3.
Every few days (ideally), I'll drop a different breakdown of a specific race's generic lord/hero/unit roster with effective, dynamic ways to fill out an army. Overall, these army composition recommendations hold to three core doctrines:
While I personally recruit based on the legendary lord and which advantages they provide certain units, whether that's through their unique trait or via their unique skill line, my goal with this breakdown remains typical army compositions for non-legendary lords...here's how I approach a relatively generic build:
As promised, I also included a great slayer build that I have come to enjoy tremendously:

Every few days (ideally), I'll drop a different breakdown of a specific race's generic lord/hero/unit roster with effective, dynamic ways to fill out an army. Overall, these army composition recommendations hold to three core doctrines:
- Form follows function...these armies are designed to win battles, and the opportunity cost of utilizing a 'cool' unit over another 'less cool' unit means a great deal when we're talking about the defense of your empire. You know what's cool? Winning, and winning consistently and effectively.
- Cost-Effectiveness...we're not here to break the bank, and we're certainly not building 'doomstack' clones (seriously not fun). Great army compositions have layers with a variety of backfill options available...you can't always afford the highest level in every category for every army, so the name of the game is cost-effectiveness.
- Flexibility...if you take one thing away from this guide, I hope this tops out your list: variation, flexibility and durability are the saving graces of the best army compositions. I’ll admit that opponent specialization has certain advantages, but generally speaking, I despise the idea of sitting around for ‘X’ amount of turns globally recruiting the ideal niche unit designed to defeat [insert race here]. Instead, I find a force capable of challenging virtually every race much more useful in the mid-game and down the stretch of long campaigns.
While I personally recruit based on the legendary lord and which advantages they provide certain units, whether that's through their unique trait or via their unique skill line, my goal with this breakdown remains typical army compositions for non-legendary lords...here's how I approach a relatively generic build:
- First and foremost, pick yourself a lord type...the generic lord is really solid, the runelord serves as more of a support specialist and the new daemonslayer offers a extremely different melee approach. Unless you're building a slayer-themed army, I'd generally suggest one of the first two as the daemonslayer truly works best when utilizing a good number of slayer units. Total Units: 1/20
- Next, and I've found this is an unpopular decision on this forum, I utilize a strict one hero per army rule with a few minor exceptions (VC, for example). I also offset my lord choice with a hero of opposite specialization...so a runesmith would pair well with a dwarf lord while a thane works perfectly with the runelord. The master engineer slots in well with both, so just modulate your needs accordingly. And if you're the type who prefers more heroes, throw in one of each, all three are excellent. I'll note that the new dragonslayer is also quite brilliant, really knows how to take on large entities and a great option to throw into the mix as well, especially if you're going to be fighting tomb kings, dark elves, greenskins, etc. Total Units: 2/20
- Six frontline infantry designed to hold the line...these traditionally are well armored and shielded and just generally stay alive. They aren't your damage dealers and they aren't designed to generate kills...they hold the line to ensure your actual killers have time and space to do their job. Start off with Dwarf Warriors (easily the best Tier 0 unit out there) before upgrading to Longbeards and, finally, Ironbreakers. The latter offer some excellent punch with their short-range explosive toss, excellent in the late game against heavily-armored troops such as Warriors of Chaos or the Dawi-Zharr. Total Units: 8/20
- Behind your frontline, you need two kinds of damage dealers: ranged and melee. First up, let's talk about the ranged units...Thunderers are the way to go, bar none. I'd argue both variants -- the traditional and the grudge-rakers -- are exceptional, with the latter maybe being slightly better due to a quicker reload time. The traditional have slightly better range and accuracy, though, so there's some trade-off. My go-to from now on will be two of each, to be honest. If you’re a bit strapped for cash, quarrelers are always a solid choice, plus you can run some simpler formations as those crossbows shoot up and over your frontline units. Total Units: 12/20
- Now you need some hard-hitting melee, and fortunately you have some options. Hammerers were the original choice on this front, but with the addition of doomseekers, it's a bit more of a toss-up. The question you have to ask yourself is survivability...hammerers, with their high armor and high numbers (100 per unit), will hold up in most fights. Doomseekers with their zero armor and lower numbers (32 per unit) don't have that advantage. That said, doomseekers have some sick animations and way outclass the hammerers in their general stats (better MA, MD and charge bonus), so it's still a bit of a toss-up. I bring two total to help my frontline with particularly tough enemies, and with both offering magical damage, ensure targets consistent of the undead or daemonic, when applicable. When you’re cost-strapped, look to the great weapon variants of long wards and dwarf warriors. Total Units: 14/20
- Not much of a Dawi force without some artillery...the usual approach on here tends to be an overwhelming amount in this category, but I honestly think two total truly works perfectly within most armies. Start off with grudge throwers before upgrading to cannons and then organ guns and flame cannons. Full honesty, I’m completely sold on the new flame cannons…they absolutely melt most units, and with a Rune of Seeking, full on chef’s kiss my friends. Pair with an accurate damage-dealer such as organ guns and you’ll have enemies severely crippled well before reaching your infantry frontline...that'll do nicely. Total Units: 16/20
- Moving on to war machines...these are the units you'll need to micro during battles to get the most impact, so just prepare for that inevitability. Prior to ToD and the 5.0 patch, the unit of choice was the gyrobomber, but I've honestly been forced to reassess a bunch the past couple weeks. First off, the Thunderbarge is a no-brainer, grab one of those as soon as you can (assuming you can afford it)...just float that sucker over the enemy army within range of your thunderers (for protection) and it'll take care of virtually anything. Second, the gyrobomber is still great, and it's a solid option for harassment, but I really appreciate the utility of the gyrocopter (brimstone guns)...they mop the floor with a heavy majority of opposing ranged options, freeing up your thunderers and Thunderbarge to focus on the opposing frontline. Mix-and-match between the gyrocopters and the gyrobombers for best results, but I've found just one with a thunderbarge to work really well. Total Units: 18/20
- Finally, the flex positions...I tend to slot in some anti-cavalry units for these two final spots, just to ensure my artillery doesn't get ravaged by boar riders or the like. Surprisingly, Bugman's Rangers work exceptionally well in this hole...they have this under-the-radar 'Charge Defense Against Large' ability that makes them ideal for taking on cavalry, and up until the point they get charged, they're a solid missle unit as well (same effectiveness as a quarreler). However, my favorite unit for these two spots are Irondrakes (Trollhammer Torpedoes)...they crush it against large entities, can hold their own in melee for a decent amount of time due to their armor and just generally look super cool. Total Units: 20/20
As promised, I also included a great slayer build that I have come to enjoy tremendously:
- Daemonslayer for the lord slot…a must-have for this composition, feels strange to run anything else. Total Units: 1/20
- Dragonslayer in the hero position…again, a must-have, and truly excellent as a single-entity killer. Total Units: 2/20
- Doomseekers…prior to the addition of these beasts of the battlefield, slayers were entirely focused as anti-large specialists. Doomseekers changed that entire dynamic, and I recommend running six of these gems as your ‘frontline’ for this comp…a bit expensive, sure, but if you’re building themed armies, you’re already rich. Total Units: 8/20
- Giantslayers…still the anti-large champ in regards to slayers, and highly-effective on your flanks protecting your doomseekers from cavalry charges and monstrous infantry. I personally grab four, two on each end to ensure the integrity of my frontline. Total Units: 12/20
- Slayer Pirates…an extremely fun unit with some late-game purpose in this composition: ranged firepower with a bit of flanking capability. Like I noted earlier, I appreciate flexibility on the campaign map, and the last thing you want to run into with a themed stack is a couple enemy units virtually untouchable by your forces. Slayer Pirates solve that problem well as your anti-flying shield, and when that need isn’t as ‘needed,’ per se, they make solid flankers with excellent armor-piercing ranged ammo. I bring four for safety. Total Units: 16/20
- Goblin Hewers…not exactly my favorite of the slayer units, but definitely fun in the right context and against any lord boasting a large mount. I toss in a pair to absolutely delete enemy leadership or large single-entity monsters, and they’re the type of ‘artillery’ you never have to worry about since they’re manned by another couple dozen slayers…cavalry charges need not apply. Total Units: 18/20
- And finally, a few Gyrocopters (Brimstone Guns)…I know, I know, not technically slayers, and while you may be absolutely correct, the advantage of a pair of brimstone copters takes root in their capability taking out ranged units. Slayers, as we all know, sprint into battle sporting zero armor, making them vulnerable to even the sloppiest of archers. In steps a pair of brimstone guns, and suddenly you’ve got very little ranged to worry about plus some post-battle barbecue options for your surviving slayer comrades. Total Units: 20/20
2024.05.29 06:44 mr-athelstan Can I bring a pack of soda through airport security?
For context, I love Big Red. It's my favorite soft drink. I'm what some may call a cult follower of Big Red. It's a red cream soda that tastes similar to bubble gum. If you haven't tried it before and you get the opportunity, I do recommend it. I like to drink it after a long day of working in the yard in the hot sun or make Big Red floats. But there's just one problem, Big Red is a regional beverage. It's sold mostly in the South, primarily Texas. It can be found in some stores in populated areas, but I live in rural po dunk middle of nowhere in the Northwest. In the past I've had cases of Big Red imported from Texas, but the cost to do so has been immense, with a 12-pack costing upwards to $30 and almost everytime a few of the cans come busted open.
However, I've come up with a solution. This summer, I'll be taking a vacation to visit family in the Midwest. At one of the stores there, they sell packs of Big Red. This is where my question comes in. If I were to bring a large suitcase with me and load it up with cans of Big Red to bring home would I be able to bring said suitcase with me through airport security and onto the plane and would said cans of Big Red have any chances of exploding mid flight?

2024.05.29 06:43 linknetwork_ Ring Signature Technology of Link Network: Setting a New Standard for Blockchain Transaction Privacy Protection
 | In a public and transparent blockchain network, all transaction records are visible to everyone, which means anyone can analyze the transaction data to infer users’ identities and behaviors. This poses a significant privacy threat to many users, especially individuals and enterprises with high privacy requirements. submitted by linknetwork_ to u/linknetwork_ [link] [comments] Link Network recognizes the importance of privacy protection in the blockchain ecosystem. Therefore, we employ advanced ring signature technology as one of the core means of privacy protection. Ring signature technology not only effectively hides the identity of the transaction initiator, achieving truly anonymous transactions, but also ensures the legality of the transactions while protecting users’ privacy. Introduction to Ring Signature Technology Ring signature technology is a cryptographic signing scheme first proposed by Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Yael Tauman in 2001. The unique feature of ring signatures is that it allows a signer to anonymously sign a message within a group of possible signers, making it impossible for outsiders to determine the actual signer. Basic Principles and Mechanism of Ring Signatures
In Link Network, ring signature technology is widely used to protect the anonymity of transactions. Whenever a user initiates a transaction, the ring signature mechanism generates a ring signature containing multiple potential signers, thus hiding the true initiator of the transaction. Role of Ring Signatures in Link Network The main role of ring signature technology in Link Network is to ensure transaction privacy. By using ring signatures, users can hide their identities within a group of possible signers, making it impossible for outsiders to determine who the actual transaction initiator is. This mechanism not only protects users’ privacy but also increases transaction security, preventing potential attacks and privacy breaches. Achieving Anonymous Transactions
In Link Network, the generation process of a ring signature involves multiple cryptographic operations. Users use their private key and all public keys in the ring to generate a ring-structured signature through a series of mathematical operations. This signature structure ensures that any public key in the ring could be the signer, enhancing the anonymity and security of the transaction. Signature Verification Process Upon receiving the transaction and ring signature, verifiers can use the public keys in the ring to verify the validity of the signature. The verification process ensures that the signature was indeed generated by one of the private keys in the ring, but it cannot determine which specific one. This mechanism not only verifies the legitimacy of the transaction but also protects the signer’s privacy. Protecting User Identity and Privacy Through ring signature technology, Link Network achieves breakthroughs in protecting user identity and privacy. Every transaction by a user is anonymous, and no information about the user’s identity is revealed in the transaction records. This feature positions Link Network as a leader in privacy protection, providing users with a highly secure and private transaction environment. Advantages of Ring Signature Technology Ring signature technology has unique advantages compared to other privacy protection technologies, making it an important role in blockchain privacy protection.
Challenges of Ring Signature Technology and Link Network’s Solutions
Through these solutions, Link Network overcomes various challenges in the practical application of ring signature technology, ensuring users enjoy efficient and secure privacy protection when conducting transactions. Future Outlook As the demand for privacy protection continues to grow, the application prospects of ring signature technology in blockchain are broad. Link Network will continue to promote innovation and development in privacy protection technology, providing users with an increasingly secure and private transaction environment. We are committed to becoming a leader in blockchain privacy protection technology, driving industry progress and development. In the future, Link Network will continue to invest resources in promoting the research and innovation of ring signature technology and other privacy protection technologies. We will work closely with academia, research institutions, and industry partners to explore new algorithms and technologies, further enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of privacy protection. Ring signature technology can not only be used for protecting transaction privacy but also extend to other application scenarios, such as decentralized identity verification, data sharing, and privacy computing. Link Network will actively explore these emerging fields, developing more innovative applications based on ring signature technology to provide users with comprehensive privacy protection services. Link Network will continue to optimize network architecture and technical implementation, enhancing the user experience of ring signature technology. We will introduce more user-friendly interfaces and operation processes, making it easy for users to use ring signature technology to protect their privacy. Additionally, we will strengthen user education and training, helping users better understand and apply privacy protection technologies. Through these efforts, Link Network will continuously enhance its competitiveness in the field of privacy protection, providing users with increasingly secure and reliable blockchain services. We believe that with the continuous advancement of technology and deeper applications, ring signature technology will play an increasingly important role in the blockchain industry, driving blockchain technology towards a more secure and privacy-friendly future. https://preview.redd.it/excx8ed0pa3d1.png?width=3840&format=png&auto=webp&s=895da731c332fcfabe43d1d6079671c0f77f82d5 |
2024.05.29 06:41 440Music You Interact to begin carrying a party member. What are you now legally allowed to do? (Stride, Leap, Teleport, etc.)
The Bulk of Creatures is listed within Player Core: "You might need to know the Bulk of a creature, especially if you need to carry someone." We'll suppose your friend is of Medium Size, which is listed as Bulk 6. Unfortunately, "Carry" is not a listed action anywhere in the rules, despite this. We'll assume it takes 1 Interact action and that you will be Encumbered as a result. Interact does not specifically list creature, but there doesn't seem to be an alternative; it does have "Pick up an item from the ground" on the Carrying Items page (there's also a note on Tiny PCs riding larger PCs but no further clarification).
Let's assume you have a speed of 40 feet (Fleet + Quicksilver, if you must have an example). Since you're encumbered, this is now 30.
"But you don't have enough hands!" Fine, give yourself an extra one. Or make yourself Large to justify 1-arming a person. Or assume you are a Master in Athletics. There are clearly ways to mechanically justify the capability.
Is being able to stride while carrying a party member too powerful? What kinds of actions would you allow or expect?

2024.05.29 06:40 kymadu Hfm or mosquito bites?
Daycare told me at pickup today that my son has hfm and the spots would get worse and more in number, and that he has to stay home until they are crusted over. I want to follow the directions and prevent other children from getting sick, but....I'm doubting it's hfm. He's my first kid and quite healthy (he's avoided at least 90% of daycare illnesses and in 2 years has only had to be kept home sick 3 times) so I'm worried that I'm wrong in thinking it's just a few mosquito bites from the night before. He was waving them off and came to tell me there were bugs on his neck so we went inside since it was late anyway.
The "spots" in question is one on the back of his hand, on on his bicep, and three on the back of his neck (one kind of closer to his jaw below his ear), that all look like classic mosquito bites. The other child at daycare with hfm was clearly sick, rash around his mouth, spots/warty looking large bumps on his hands (backs and palms), and not at all himself which was a complete 180 from when I saw the that child in the morning. Basically he looked nothing at all like my son is right now.
Over the evening, nothing further had progressed. No more spots appeared, no rash anywhere, no fever, appetite is just fine, no change in behavior. Checked him head to toe at bathtime. I'm here wondering if I'm completely off base since I've never dealt with an illness before. Daycare described it to me that it was going to get a lot worse by suppertime - that it would be clear he had it in mere hours once they noticed the spots (although I do not know when they noticed the spots could be morning could be 4pm at pick up time). This hasn't happened and google isn't showing me anything that looks like the spots I'm seeing on my kid.
I don't mind staying home with him at all, in fact I often offer to keep my healthy child at home during inclement weathestaff shortages to ensure that parents who don't have a work from home option get dibs on the spot that day. But in this case, I don't feel it's necessary. Obviously if it progresses and he's clearly got it in the morning he will be staying home.
But I suppose I'm asking for advice from experiencex parents on whether daycare was correct that it would start getting worse right away (and if it doesn't then it isn't hfm) or if they were wrong (and I should keep him home because he will eventually get worse in the next few days).
Help a first time mom please!! I don't want to make the daycare mad, since it's a great one although a bit sticky on the sick policy (I previously had to get 2 specialists to write letters supporting my child simply has post nasal drip that aggravates a wierd lung thing that causes him to cough and the two symptoms should not be used to send him home sick). So I am a bit... Less than ready to accept this suggestion to keep him home due to the coincidence of the bugs biting the night before. I'm rambling....thanks in advance for all the insight so I can learn about this!!

First were wheels which we were extremely confused by since the size was 4Bx12 and we couldn’t find anything online about them at all, the only sizes coming up being 4x114.3 and 4x110(not sure if this one is right). Is 4Bx12 the same as one of these or is it just a weird size so no one makes wheels for them? I was also wondering how large of wheels we could get while still lowering the car 1-1.5in.
The second thing was that while we were trying to find some Coilovers for them most people had only put the front 2 Coilovers and not the rear which lots of people said could make the car feel and drive weirdly. Not sure if kei trucks don’t need the rear 2 or maybe they just didn’t fit. They were using s13/14 Coilovers which apparently fit very well. Would these work well, do they make specific Coilovers for the carry trucks that aren’t $1700, and are lowering springs better for this?
I have no clue what I’m talking about but I hope that someone can clear up all of this for me since I’m very new to the car scene in general.

2024.05.29 06:36 31234134 What are your thoughts on certain substances allowing you to see Djinn?
The 3Muslims had a video in where they went over a study that discussed the spiritual experiences that subjects on DMT went through, as well as their meeting with the "entities"(Timestamp- 33:48). From this study, it seemed that most of the subjects who were athiests before taking DMT, no longer claimed to follow athiesm after their experience. I believe there were other studies which were done that saw something similar, although I don't think they were as specific or had as large of a subject pool as this one.
This video made me question how one can ascertain which substances provide actual spiritual experiences (communicating with Djinn/realm of Djinn) and ones that simply cause hallucinatory experiences. I tried looking on subs like Psychonaut and those similar to it, but unfortunately, there wasn't much that I could consider concrete. It seems that many who have had their eyes opened to another reality, whether it was truly spiritual or not, have concluded that all psychedelics provide some spiritual experience. Of course, some believed that all psychedelics simply cause hallucinatory experiences and nothing more, and some saw no difference between the two. As you can no doubt understand, this makes it extremely hard to get any concrete answers. YouTube was more helpful, not by a whole lot, but enough to help me in my research.
From what I was able to gather, it seemed that DMT and Shrooms are the best way to communicate with Djinn. Maybe mescaline too, although from what I personally saw, it did not come up as much so I am not too sure about it. On the other hand, drugs like LSD, Ketamine, etc. seem more likely to cause a hallucinatory experience than a spiritual one.
I just want to let you all know that the research I did, was in no way extensive. Due to the current legality of the substances in question, it's practically impossible to properly study something like this. Even if the legality was not an issue, I highly doubt something like this would get much funding, but that's just a personal opinion, so I could be wrong.
What do you guys think? Are there substances that allow us to communicate with Djinn? If so, which substances specifically? How is it possible? Are we even able to study how it's possible?

2024.05.29 06:34 Womantree1 Terrence Howard forgot to mention that the periodic table we currently use now was also discovered in a dream.
I am currently seeing a large smear campaign towards Terrence Howard. Browsing the comments and I’m seeing many people say he’s crazy or deranged.
I heard the podcast he did with Rogan and noticed he forgot to mention that the current periodic table we use was also discovered by Mendeleev in a dream.
If I didn’t know that already, I might have thought he sounded crazy saying that. Because it is crazy. And even crazier that both periodic tables were found in a dream. 🤯

But rather than by willful effort, he arrived at his creative breakthrough by the unconscious product of what T.S. Eliot called idea-incubation — one February evening, after a wearying day of work, Mendeleev envisioned his periodic table in a dream.

Part One is linked above.
Anhinga had taken to the library hours ago. What was taking the middle aged NightWing so long to get back to her? And why couldn’t she figure out the rest of what that stone tablet said still? This isn’t… a very productive night, is it? She pondered quietly, tapping her claws against one of the shelves in the library. She had scoured every scroll and book in the history section, and none yielded any useful information that the young MudWing hadn’t seen a dozen times over. She found a few that mentioned old dragon tongue, but for some reason none of them listed any way to learn the language; like it had completely gone extinct and was lost to time. With a disappointed sigh and a close of her brown eyes, Anhinga would close the book and gently place it back on its shelf.
“Little one?” A voice would coo happily from behind her. Anhinga whipped around and was met with a smiling face and friendly eyes, a black talon with its silver bracelet marking upon her shoulder. Fatespeaker seemed tired, but joyous to see Anhinga; she had seemingly mellowed out over the years according to Tsunami’s words when Anhinga had asked… and, she was still grieving her husband. She missed her dragonets. Anhinga understood how that felt. “Hi, Mrs. Fatespeaker… are you doing okay today?”
“Yes, dear. I am fine… do you need to check out a scroll or book?” The NightWing would ask with a tilt of her head, faint teardrop markings glimmering softly in lantern-light. Anhinga would shake her head softly.
“Not today, I actually had a question… do you know anything about Old Pyrrhian? I’ve been trying to translate this stone tablet, and-“
“Old… Pyrrhian? Stone tablet?” Fatespeaker interrupted, curious and incredulous. “Well, I don’t know myself; but I’ve heard of the old language before through Pantalan dragons. Perhaps you should ask Cricket when she’s in town. I’m sure she has some information on it. Bumblebee, too… You should get some rest, dear. Don’t give this up, but please remember to take care of yourself.” Fatespeaker would scold after noticing the dark circles under Anhinga’s eyes, who would try to brush it off with an ‘I’m okay’ but Fatespeaker would shoo her out. “Please, when you find out what your tablet means, let me know! We can turn it into an artifact for your history class.”
She began to let her mind wander, thinking about today’s events.
What is out there? Who could have wrote this…? It’s not an old tablet, the scratch marks still had splinters of bone from being written with and still had dark scrawls from ink or soot when I found it on the beach. It couldn’t have been written by a Pantalan unless they’re a history obsessed nerd like I am- Yet another snore would break Anhinga out of her thoughts, her eyes popping open and jaw clenching in annoyance. Carmine and her stupid sleep apnea were about to meet claws to the throat. Anhinga got that Carmine literally could not help it, but the dragon always slept on her back just to mess with everyone else and make their lives harder. With a bit of angry gusto, Anhinga would throw herself out of her bed, haphazardly tidy it up, and march out of her dorm and down the hallway. Maybe going for a flight could help her clear her hyperactive mind and make her tired enough to sleep through Carmine’s incessant thunder snorts. Her dorm was thankfully close to the entrance and exit of Jade Mountain Academy, and within minutes she rounded the corridor into the main foyer. Nope. The office lantern was blown out for the night, and the dean, Sunny, was asleep. Anhinga would sneak past and make it to the cave entrance, backing up and sprinting to take off into the night sky.
The breeze was cool, and the moons were bright. Anhinga felt at ease under the stars.
Where… is he?*

~~~~~~~~~~~ LATER ~~~~~~~~~~~Anhinga made her way back to her dorm, hearing Carmine’s heavy bull-like snoring echoing down the hallway with the collective irritated groans of other students who were kept up by the sound. By now, she’d gotten used to it, rounding through the doorway and flopping onto her soft nest bed. She would lay there, closing her eyes, tossing and turning.
She began to let her mind wander, thinking about today’s events.

~~~~~~~~~~~ ….. ~~~~~~~~~~~*Large talons would falter, large slender wings fall. Into an unknown coast would a strange dragon crash, his body casting a massive shadow over the beach. He’d look up, seeing mountains and grass and ocean, stars and the three half moons. He wobbled and stood on his large talons, seeing smaller old talonprints he’d never seen before in the sand nearby.
Where… is he?*

So I have a very long house, with our room at one end and main kitchen area at the other. I have a tweetycam monitor which works great, except it doesn’t quite reach the main kitchen area. I don’t want a wifi camera. I’ve been looking at reviews for infant optics and eufy cam, wondering if anyone with a large house has experience with these brands or suggestions of another brand? Thanks!

2024.05.29 06:30 mrgnstrk Thinking of migrating to the US via F1/student visa route? Start here.
I've commented a few times in a few posts about my family's experience going through the F-1 to H-1B to GC route to migrate to the US and I've received a lot of questions over the DM, many of which I thought were pretty basic. I thought it might be helpful to put this primer together so folks know the right questions to ask and approach their planning more strategically.
This post is going to be very candid. I've noticed that the questions I've received come from misconceptions about higher education, F-1 visa, and what comes after graduation. I want to give folks the right information, but also temper expectations and give a realistic portrait of what it means and takes to use the student pathway to legally and permanently reside in the US. It is not a stroll in the park, and I don't want to give anyone the wrong idea.
Both my siblings are currently in the same pathway. One received their Bachelors last year, was hired before graduation and has recently received approval for her H-1B. Their employer has committed to sponsoring their employment-based green card next year. My other sibling received their MFA last year and is now in the process of getting their O-1, which is a different kind of work visa. Like me, they both came to the US with a student visa. We were all very strategic about the programs we chose and how we approached networking within our industries.
We also prepared for years. I knew I wanted to get my Masters and permanently reside in the US even before I finished college in Manila. My siblings also knew that early on. So as a family we planned for years, including preparing financially because we knew that we had a very slim chance of getting free rides for our planned degrees. Our early planning also helped with our professional decision-making, because we became very strategic about what kinds of jobs we took after graduation in Manila (except our youngest sibling, who did her Bachelors in the US, so her planning revolved around her academic career in high school). I would say from start (initial planning) to finish (with the last sibling also now on the way to permanent residency), it took about a decade.
The first question you should ask yourself: can you afford the student pathway to permanent residency in the US? Higher education in the US is not cheap. Universities very rarely offer full scholarships to Masters programs, and those that do are incredibly competitive. So you cannot depend on scholarships to help you pay for your degree--doing so will likely end in disappointment.
(PhDs are usually free and includes a living stipend, but the application process for PhDs are on a whole other level. I will not cover it here but I can answer any questions related to applying for PhDs.)
Most Masters programs in the US are two-year programs, and the average cost of a Masters degree is around $60,000 per year (source). That's $120,000--almost Php7,000,000--in two years. That is a lot of money. That does not include your cost of living, which depending on the location can vary. I personally spent around $1000 on living expenses every month (housing was through the school, so the cost of that was included in my tuition statement)--and that is living frugally in a very high cost of living city. That's an additional $12,000 per year. Of course, you can lower than number by living with family if that option is available to you.
So on average, you would need around Php4,200,000 per year for your Masters degree. Again, a lot of money. It goes without saying that the student pathway is a very expensive pathway to permanent residency in the US. Can it also be a quicker pathway than, say, being sponsored by a sibling? It can be, but that depends on how long it will take for you to save up for tuition.
What if you can make those numbers work? What else should you know?
I need to put this upfront: the F-1 student visa is a non-immigrant visa. Meaning that it is a visa meant for people who will enter the US on a temporary basis. This is why the student visa has no direct pathway or benefit to permanent residency in the US. You need to change status inside the US to one with immigrant intent or double intent to be able to be on that pathway or receive that benefit. That's where visas like the H-1B visa comes in.
You also cannot work outside of your school on an F-1 visa. During the school year, you are allowed to work part-time on campus, and during the summer you are allowed to work full-time on campus. Work outside of the school is only allowed if it's part of your curriculum (i.e. your program has a class for "onsite internship") and you are allowed to be paid while that opportunity is going on. You can do this part-time, but most legitimate universities will have limited opportunities for this (i.e. under your program you're only allowed to take credit for onsite internships one or two semesters). However, your eligibility to work full-time after getting your degree will be affected if you do this full-time for one year. If you want to jump from F-1 to H-1B, this is not something you want to do.
Your ability to bring dependents to the US on a student visa is also limited. You can only bring your spouse and unmarried children under 21. Dependents of F-1 visa holders are not allowed to work in the US (although children under 21 can go to school full-time). This means your spouse cannot work while in the United States, and that includes working remotely for a company in the Philippines.
The next step starts with you. I've received a good number of DMs asking me "Is Master of ABC the right course for me?" or "Will a Master of DEF get me a green card?" These are not the right questions to ask because they're not going to get you any good answers. Yes, we know the ultimate goal for taking your Masters in the US to get permanent residency. But the true purpose of getting a Masters in the US is to make you highly marketable and competitive to US employers that will be willing to sponsor your work visa and petition you for your permanent residency.
So you need to view this degree as a way to level yourself up professionally. I absolutely do not suggest getting a Masters degree in something "you already know"--the objective is not to coast while spending Php4,200,000 a year--but to be so much better at what you're already doing. Here's an example.
Of course, you should also take into consideration your limitations. For example, you can only go to school in San Diego because you can stay with relatives while you're studying. That means your research is location-limited to however far you think you can commute.
When this is properly done, it should lead you to a place where you have a shortlist of programs to apply to. Each program will have their own application and testing requirements, as well as their own deadlines, so make sure to keep track of that.
PRO TIP: while grades during college are an important part of your application, many graduate programs put a lot of weight on your personal statement and professional recommendation letters. This is why the first step on reflection is critical--it gives you a good direction from which to build your story, which you will need to convince admissions committees to accept you into their programs.
Now it's time to apply for your F-1 visa. Your university will provide you with the documentation you need from them (this is mainly the I-20 and your acceptance letter), but the bulk of the documentation you need to present to the visa officer will mostly come from you. Namely, because the F-1 is a non-immigrant visa, you need to show strong ties to the Philippines. This can take a variety of forms, and oftentimes your mileage may vary especially depending on the school you will be attending (i.e. there will be less scrutiny if you're going to Harvard as compared to a university that's not that known).
If you did not receive a scholarship with your acceptance, you also need to show that you are able to afford the first year of matriculation. So bank statements containing the total amount of tuition, as well as room and board, will be important (usually the I-20 that the university will issue you will include this amount).
At the interview, be polite and only answer the questions asked. Do not offer up information not asked by the visa officer. I suggest you have a ready answer if the visa officer asks you why this particular school and program, but you should have this answer already if you followed my advice about reflecting and researching before applying to programs :)
Visa is approved and on hand! What do I do while I wait to leave for the US?
Networking starts the moment you receive your passport with your F-1 visa. You absolutely cannot and should not waste a single minute of your active student visa, so this is the time you start telling people that you're going to be studying in the US. You need to work your current network and find peers and mentors who will be willing to connect you with colleagues they know who work in the US or have ties to the US in your professional field. Let's go back to Maria Clara as an example.
Other than to make sure you have high grades and you're setting aside time to build professional relationships, it's time to think outside the box. Remember that you are limited by the rules of the F-1 visa, so experiences such as an off-campus summer internship is off limits to you. You will need to find ways to strengthen your resumé that doesn't include working off campus, and that could take many forms. One of the most effective recommendations I've received on this is to do an independent research during the summer--you could do it via a professor whose class you really liked, or if you've made inroads with some of the connections you've been building since getting your visa, have a professor oversee a research project you could do with those connections. (This is still academic work, and many programs will give credit for this, so it is not considered off-campus work under the eyes of USCIS.) You can use your research to really elevate your skills and experiences when applying for jobs.
It's also time to seriously start looking at potential employers. You can use the connections you've built to get a sense of what the professional landscape is for your field, learn about peoples' experiences at various companies and organizations, and get a feel for hiring processes. Remember, you don't have a lot of time to apply for jobs once you near the end of your program, so you have to be armed with the right information to guide your job hunting strategy. You will need to put yourself out there and be the best version of your professional self if you want employers to disregard that they will need to spend more money to hire you rather than a USC or LPR who doesn't need sponsorship.
The last semester is usually job hunting season, so make sure that resumé is polished and your network is activated. By now, if you've done the leg work, you will have a shortlist of potential employers and you will have made connections in most, if not all, of them. Time to check-in and ensure that they know you're interested in joining their company and you'd like their support and guidance in doing so. This is one of the harder parts of this journey, and you have to be relentless. Use all the resources at your disposal to ensure your resumé is seen by as many eyes as possible, and that includes speaking to your professors, especially your favorite ones, so they can also lend a hand.
More importantly: submit your work permit application (more commonly known as OPT) as early as possible to avoid delays and getting stuck in the USCIS backlog. You need this permit to be able to work after graduation for a limited time (one year for graduates of non-STEM programs, with an additional two years for graduates of STEM programs) without needing to immediately require H-1B sponsorship.
Getting employed by a company willing to sponsor you is not the end of the line. All for-profit companies are subject to the H-1B lottery, which means you will be competing with other internationals for the limited number of H-1B visas allotted every year. So even with an employer willing to sponsor, the H-1B visa is still not guaranteed. You can work around this by joining what is a called a cap-exempt organization instead, and USCIS classifies those as institutions of higher education, nonprofit entities related to or affiliated with an institution of higher education, nonprofit research organizations, and governmental research organizations. That means more research, and more targeted strategic networking, given that your employer pool now is limited.
For those still considering the student visa pathway to migrate to the US after reading this very long post--good luck, and may the force be with you.

BACKGROUND
Two of my siblings plus myself are all here in the US via the student visa route. I received my green card in 2021 after being in the US for nearly 4 years. After receiving my Masters at a prestigious university, I was hired immediately by an organization willing to sponsor my H-1B, which they did so after two years of employment under STEM-OPT work authorization. My employer started putting together my I-140 (Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, which is the start of the process for an employment-based green card) shortly after receiving approval of my H-1B. As the paperwork was being put together, my partner and I decided to get married and I switched from employment-based green card to marriage-based green card. The employment-based green card would have added around a 3 year wait if we went through with it, while my marriage-based green card was approved in less than a year.Both my siblings are currently in the same pathway. One received their Bachelors last year, was hired before graduation and has recently received approval for her H-1B. Their employer has committed to sponsoring their employment-based green card next year. My other sibling received their MFA last year and is now in the process of getting their O-1, which is a different kind of work visa. Like me, they both came to the US with a student visa.

This is why the student visa has no direct pathway or benefit to permanent residency in the US. You need to change status inside the US to one with immigrant intent or double intent to be able to be on that pathway or receive that benefit. That's where visas like the H-1B visa comes in.
You also cannot work outside of your school on an F-1 visa. During the school year, you are allowed to work part-time on campus, and during the summer you are allowed to work full-time on campus. Work outside of the school is only allowed if it's part of your curriculum (i.e. your program has a class for "onsite internship") and you are allowed to be paid while that opportunity is going on. You can do this part-time, but most legitimate universities will have limited opportunities for this (i.e. under your program you're only allowed to take credit for onsite internships one or two semesters). However, your eligibility to work full-time after getting your degree will be affected if you do this full-time for one year. If you want to jump from F-1 to H-1B, this is not something you want to do.
Your ability to bring dependents to the US on a student visa is also limited. You can only bring your spouse and unmarried children under 21. Dependents of F-1 visa holders are not allowed to work in the US (although children under 21 can go to school full-time). This means your spouse cannot work while in the United States, and that includes working remotely for a company in the Philippines.
APPLYING TO PROGRAMS
The student visa still seems like my best option. What's next?The next step starts with you. I've received a good number of DMs asking me "Is Master of ABC the right course for me?" or "Will a Master of DEF get me a green card?" These are not the right questions to ask because they're not going to get you any good answers. Yes, we know the ultimate goal for taking your Masters in the US to get permanent residency. But the true purpose of getting a Masters in the US is to make you highly marketable and competitive to US employers that will be willing to sponsor your work visa and petition you for your permanent residency.
So you need to view this degree as a way to level yourself up professionally. I absolutely do not suggest getting a Masters degree in something "you already know"--the objective is not to coast while spending Php4,200,000 a year--but to be so much better at what you're already doing. Here's an example.
Maria Clara graduated from Accounting at a good university in Manila and now has around 2 years of experience as a CPA at the finance and accounting department at a multinational corporation based in Makati. She wants to get her permanent residency to the US via the student pathway and has done a significant amount of research on possible Masters programs and career paths in accounting in the US. She started reading into forensic accounting and realized how interested she is in various aspects of this career path. After looking through universities and programs, she has put SUNY Albany's MS in Forensic Science at the top of her list for a variety of reasons. One, it meets the education requirements for certified public accountant licensure in the state of New York. Two, even without a scholarship of financial aid, the costs for international students is not exorbitant at $23,000/Php1,320,000 for the year-long program--with some frugal living and help from relatives in the US, she can save that amount in 3-4 years. Three, New York is the center of global commerce--all the biggest companies and their accounting firms are either headquartered or have large offices in New York City, so she has a wide swath of employment options. Now she just has to get her ducks in a row and make sure her Bachelors meets the requirements for application, as well as put together a shortlist of other programs she should apply and create a timeline for herself and the milestones that need to be hit to make this dream a reality.Bottomline is, your starting point in this entire process is reflection and research. You need to reflect on your own professional experience and skills, as well as your interests. You need to figure out which pathway will give you that professional and technical boost and do your research on available programs at reputable universities, what the job market looks like for your target profession, which companies are known to hire in this space.
Of course, you should also take into consideration your limitations. For example, you can only go to school in San Diego because you can stay with relatives while you're studying. That means your research is location-limited to however far you think you can commute.
When this is properly done, it should lead you to a place where you have a shortlist of programs to apply to. Each program will have their own application and testing requirements, as well as their own deadlines, so make sure to keep track of that.
PRO TIP: while grades during college are an important part of your application, many graduate programs put a lot of weight on your personal statement and professional recommendation letters. This is why the first step on reflection is critical--it gives you a good direction from which to build your story, which you will need to convince admissions committees to accept you into their programs.
ACCEPTANCE
I got into one of my top programs and I have my finances in order! What happens now?Now it's time to apply for your F-1 visa. Your university will provide you with the documentation you need from them (this is mainly the I-20 and your acceptance letter), but the bulk of the documentation you need to present to the visa officer will mostly come from you. Namely, because the F-1 is a non-immigrant visa, you need to show strong ties to the Philippines. This can take a variety of forms, and oftentimes your mileage may vary especially depending on the school you will be attending (i.e. there will be less scrutiny if you're going to Harvard as compared to a university that's not that known).
If you did not receive a scholarship with your acceptance, you also need to show that you are able to afford the first year of matriculation. So bank statements containing the total amount of tuition, as well as room and board, will be important (usually the I-20 that the university will issue you will include this amount).
At the interview, be polite and only answer the questions asked. Do not offer up information not asked by the visa officer. I suggest you have a ready answer if the visa officer asks you why this particular school and program, but you should have this answer already if you followed my advice about reflecting and researching before applying to programs :)
Visa is approved and on hand! What do I do while I wait to leave for the US?
Networking starts the moment you receive your passport with your F-1 visa. You absolutely cannot and should not waste a single minute of your active student visa, so this is the time you start telling people that you're going to be studying in the US. You need to work your current network and find peers and mentors who will be willing to connect you with colleagues they know who work in the US or have ties to the US in your professional field. Let's go back to Maria Clara as an example.
Finally, after years of hard work, Maria Clara has her desired acceptance into SUNY's MS in Forensic Accounting program, and her F-1 visa was approved by the embassy without any issues. After celebrating with her family, she lets her boss know about her visa approval, who has been one of her most ardent cheerleaders during this entire process. Her boss has also offered to introduce her to their counterparts in the US once she got her visa approved, which is really important to Maria Clara--she knows she needs to get ahead of networking professionally since her time in the US is limited. She has also reached out to other people she knows in the company that engage frequently with teams in the US. She's messaged her college professors as well, as she knows that a number of alumni from her college have migrated to the US. Her plan is to get connected with as many professionals in her field as possible, connect with them in person once she's in the US, and build a rapport with as many connections as possible so she can be guided accordingly and stand out when the time to apply for jobs comes.Remember that unlike US citizens (USC) and legal permanent residents (LPR), your time in the US is limited and bound by the rules set by your visa. So you have to be creative and get ahead in some way. You need to be more prepared and more strategic than USCs and LPRs because you simply do not have the time to dilly dally. Yes, enjoy and savor in the moment of seeing the fruits of your labor, but the hard part begins now. You simply do not have time to waste.
DURING THE PROGRAM
I'm in the US now and working harder than ever! Is there anything more I can do to set myself apart from others?Other than to make sure you have high grades and you're setting aside time to build professional relationships, it's time to think outside the box. Remember that you are limited by the rules of the F-1 visa, so experiences such as an off-campus summer internship is off limits to you. You will need to find ways to strengthen your resumé that doesn't include working off campus, and that could take many forms. One of the most effective recommendations I've received on this is to do an independent research during the summer--you could do it via a professor whose class you really liked, or if you've made inroads with some of the connections you've been building since getting your visa, have a professor oversee a research project you could do with those connections. (This is still academic work, and many programs will give credit for this, so it is not considered off-campus work under the eyes of USCIS.) You can use your research to really elevate your skills and experiences when applying for jobs.
It's also time to seriously start looking at potential employers. You can use the connections you've built to get a sense of what the professional landscape is for your field, learn about peoples' experiences at various companies and organizations, and get a feel for hiring processes. Remember, you don't have a lot of time to apply for jobs once you near the end of your program, so you have to be armed with the right information to guide your job hunting strategy. You will need to put yourself out there and be the best version of your professional self if you want employers to disregard that they will need to spend more money to hire you rather than a USC or LPR who doesn't need sponsorship.
LAST SEMESTER AND GRADUATION
I'm in my last semester of my program! Any tips?The last semester is usually job hunting season, so make sure that resumé is polished and your network is activated. By now, if you've done the leg work, you will have a shortlist of potential employers and you will have made connections in most, if not all, of them. Time to check-in and ensure that they know you're interested in joining their company and you'd like their support and guidance in doing so. This is one of the harder parts of this journey, and you have to be relentless. Use all the resources at your disposal to ensure your resumé is seen by as many eyes as possible, and that includes speaking to your professors, especially your favorite ones, so they can also lend a hand.
More importantly: submit your work permit application (more commonly known as OPT) as early as possible to avoid delays and getting stuck in the USCIS backlog. You need this permit to be able to work after graduation for a limited time (one year for graduates of non-STEM programs, with an additional two years for graduates of STEM programs) without needing to immediately require H-1B sponsorship.
Getting employed by a company willing to sponsor you is not the end of the line. All for-profit companies are subject to the H-1B lottery, which means you will be competing with other internationals for the limited number of H-1B visas allotted every year. So even with an employer willing to sponsor, the H-1B visa is still not guaranteed. You can work around this by joining what is a called a cap-exempt organization instead, and USCIS classifies those as institutions of higher education, nonprofit entities related to or affiliated with an institution of higher education, nonprofit research organizations, and governmental research organizations. That means more research, and more targeted strategic networking, given that your employer pool now is limited.
EPILOGUE
The student visa is not an easy or cheap pathway to permanent residency in the US. It is getting harder and harder to beat out USCs and LPRs for great jobs in companies that have the experience and resources to sponsor H-1Bs and GCs. You need to do your research every step of the way and prepare to do some really grueling work in order to be the better investment for these companies. Plus, there is the luck element of the H-1B lottery. But it's not impossible. It can and does happen--my family is a great example of it (we're 3 for 3 in this pathway now). Your preparation and willingness to go the extra mile is critical, and you have to be ready to grind for a while. Rest often only comes when the green card is approved.For those still considering the student visa pathway to migrate to the US after reading this very long post--good luck, and may the force be with you.

2024.05.29 06:25 kevinwhackistone Some comments about the song XXX
I searched this sub to see if people like this song, and I was happy to see the results. Just wanted to post about it then I’ll be on my way.
I think this could have been his best song, or top 3-5. Kendrick insists, annoyingly imo, that he has to point of his hypocrisy. The second part of the song completely undermines or negates the first part. Not only is it not that good musically, more importantly I wholeheartedly disagree with the point being made. The premise of the song if I’m perceiving it correctly is that Kendrick (or the culture) laments all the murder in America but perpetuates it through a bloodlust for revenge.
I disagree with his saviorism. Do people really project this Jesus shit on to him? That’s kind of his whole thing, to the point of wearing a bejeweled crown of thorns, right? It’s childish to think music or artists can do that much to improve society, and I’ve always thought it immature that either he or his fans indulged this idolatry. Why does he feel like he is above even feeling those feelings in the first half of XXX, disregarding acting on them? “If somebody kills my son, that means somebody’s getting killed.” That’s exactly how I FEEL. I don’t believe it’s best to act on that, but art has the license to say that. I’d want to kill that murderer. Doesn’t mean I will, and that emotion doesn’t need to be called out as wrong in the second half of the song. Wouldn’t it be unnatural for someone to see their loved one murdered and just move on like nothing happened? That’s taking our humanity away. It isn’t godly to allow terrible people run roughshod on regular people. That is the challenge of society. We have to have rules but not be vigilantes or savages about it.
When someone takes the life of a loved one of yours, it is entirely natural to want something to happen to that murderer. Life is chaos and danger, built on constant collisions. If you don’t protect yourself, things may happen. Knowing violence is so ingrained in our nature and in nature at large, expressing that in music shouldn’t be considered such an affront to morality. If nothing were to happen to murderers, there would be even more murder than there already is. Murderers and criminals in general need to experience consequences in order for them to one of reform, be put away forever if they’re too far gone, and serve as a deterrent example for others. This is how society works, and I don’t see many other options as to how things could work.
Maybe make them two songs. First part second part. Because as constituted it’s almost like matter and anti-matter. Cancelling out such a powerful first half to a song does the song such a disservice.
I’m rambling, but I guess what I’m trying to get at is that first half was incredibly accurate as to how some may react to violence. I don’t think it’s ever been conveyed so succinctly and soulfully at the same time. I felt it more than almost anything I’ve heard in music. One part I’d like to highlight to “ain’t no black power when your baby kilt by a coward.” I don’t care what things we may have in common…if you do something crazy you will experience a reaction. I don’t think I’ve heard this said as well in a song too. In fact, if anything since we have some commonality that should make you even more sickened to your stomach that you did such a bad thing to me. Putting it in an American context with black people just lends the concept so much power because there is a sinister aspect of race/religion where people get you to accept what you shouldn’t accept under the guise of brotherhood. Family can hurt you just as much as a stranger, which is why actions should determine kinship. I believe that’s actually reflected in crime stats. People you know are more likely to do you harm as opposed to random acts of violence.
Anyway, tldr I both love and dislike the song.

https://www.rei.com/product/176900/rei-co-op-ruckpack-28-recycled-daypack-mens?sku=1769000002
What I like about it:
- lightweight
- ergonomic, it feels nice to throw on and off, I can even hike in it or run with it comfortably pinched on
- fits everything I need for EDC and then some:
- zip is only at the top, meaning to get gym clothes or tech bag or anything at the bottom means I have to “dig” for things and next thing I know my whole bag is emptied out.
- Bag falls over all the time, which is annoying in combination with having to “dig” things out.
These are brands that caught my eye:
Aer
- City pack pro - https://aersf.com/products/city-pack-pro
- Flight pack 3 - https://aersf.com/products/flight-pack
- Pro pack - https://aersf.com/products/pro-pack-24l
- Duffel Pack 3 - kinda cool but maybe too big / long if 90% of the time I don't have shoes packed in there?
- Travel Pack 3 Small - looks overkill?
- Did I miss any here?
- Daybreaker 2: https://ablecarry.com/collections/backpack/products/daybreaker-2?variant=44113323229496
- Top of my list right now. I’m just concerned about the lag of organization, but the zips alone are an improvement over my current bag so I think I should just get this one.
- Daily Plus: https://ablecarry.com/collections/backpack/products/daily-plus?variant=47976890270008
- Generally felt stiff and to thick/heavy for what would be comfortable, potentially sweaty this summer.
- Concerned that these camera focused bags might not have what I’m looking for
- Everyday backpack: https://www.peakdesign.com/products/everyday-backpack/?variant=29743300771884
- Or is this the best bag given the modularity?
- I’m thinking 30L would be the move since it inches down to 20L
- Everyday backpack Zip: https://www.peakdesign.com/products/everyday-backpack-zip?variant=29743829385260
- i tried it at the showroom and it was amazing but I worry it’d be too small
I'd love anyone's input here on my criteria. This community has been a wealth of information and I figured I'd finally just make a post and see if anyone can help me narrow down the right option.
2024.05.29 06:24 Fold-Plastic (Workflow) How To Get Highest Quality Udio-generated Cover Art
This guide is useful to both Free and Paid Users, especially if you have existing Udio artwork you'd like to improve. I won't be covering the actual image prompting, but let me know if you would be interested in a post on that.
But! I've also forgotten to save a bunch too, stuff I really wish I'd thought to keep in my early days of Udio. Oh well! You can save them directly from the browser like any other image you normally would.
Important note: What you see previewed as generations are higher quality images than what get displayed on the Udio page. You lose about 25% of the quality. You can retrieve it, but it's just easier to save it from the beginning.
You'll want to change the last bit to:https://imagedelivery.net/C9yUr1FL21Q6JwfYYh2ozQ/3c88d05d-8f1d-4db9-9cf0-dde2d29b0500/width=552,quality=100
552px is the maximum width, anything higher won't do anything. Now you have the image in its original glory.
Important note: When you upload your image, be sure to crop out the old border. There will still be a little bit in the lower-left hand corner, but it will be covered up by the new border.
Compare the previous image to the new one:

2024.05.29 06:23 Stage-Piercing727 Best 22Lr Suppressor
 | submitted by Stage-Piercing727 to u/Stage-Piercing727 [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/ix4ja61cla3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1160863c27f56f8a3024ce64445b731f7ab899d8 Welcome to our guide on the 22Lr Suppressor! This article is designed to give you an in-depth understanding of this remarkable product. Whether you're a seasoned gun enthusiast or just starting out, our roundup will provide you with valuable insights on what makes a 22Lr Suppressor the perfect tool for your shooting needs. Dive in and explore the world of 22Lr Suppressors like never before. The Top 9 Best 22Lr Suppressor
Reviews🔗SilencerCo AC669 Harvester Big Bore Direct Thread Mount for Suppressor Attachmenthttps://preview.redd.it/wd8tgzbcla3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cae9a3db0218e10f13a06650e5e8de5957c7df35 As a reviewer, I recently had the chance to use the SilencerCo AC669 Harvester Big Bore in my daily shooting activities, and let me tell you, it truly did live up to its reputation. The overall quality of the mount is impeccable, with a stylish design and a solid construction. The compatibility with various firearms, including the Omega 300" Hybrid and Harvester 338, is a major plus, as it allows for a seamless integration into my shooting setup. However, one downside I noticed was that the installation process was a bit more complicated than expected. Despite this minor setback, the SilencerCo AC669 Harvester Big Bore proved to be a reliable and effective accessory for my firearms. 🔗SilencerCo Hybrid 3-Prong Flash Hider for 9mm ASR Mounthttps://preview.redd.it/c75cfe3dla3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7ca22f52092c9c52e9cf3128329e4fa537397baa As a gun enthusiast, I always appreciate a good suppressor for my firearms, and the SilencerCo Hybrid 1/2x36 ASR FH 9mm truly stands out. Its compatibility with the ASR mounting system makes it a breeze to install and remove. The patent-pending resonance suppression feature is a game-changer, eliminating that annoying tuning-fork effect that's so common with competing 3-prong flash hiders. The design of the 3-port muzzle brake effectively reduces that harsh felt recoil and muzzle climb, making my shooting experience more enjoyable. However, I've noticed that the price point may be a bit higher than some other suppressors on the market, which could be a downside for some. My overall experience with the SilencerCo Hybrid 1/2x36 ASR FH 9mm has been positive, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for an effective, easy-to-use suppressor. 🔗LEGRIS 22Lr Suppressor: High-Performance, Standard 1/2" BSPP Threaded Silencerhttps://preview.redd.it/uyzxo8hdla3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3cead6222c966b22bb1856efd9b9713ae5c6a197 As a seasoned shooter, I recently had the chance to try out the Threaded Silencer by LEGRIS. This bad boy was a game-changer for my 22Lr firearm. The first thing I noticed was the impressive quality of the silencer; it felt sturdy and well-built. The male thread connection on the silencer was a breeze to set up - it didn't require any extra tools or effort.

2024.05.29 06:20 Easy-Recognition1436 Seeking better ways to cope with random mood swings
I would like to start by saying that I am in a new relationship that has been going on for 4 months. I’m determined to not ruin it and have a healthy stable serious relationship this time that may lead to marriage one day.
Just now, I was chilling at his house and suddenly my mood switched and I felt really down. I’m not really that in touch with my emotions and have a hard time describing what I’m feeling. I just kinda was staring into space and was just not in a good mood. Nothing particularly was bothering me. But after a while, tears started to roll down my face. Like emotionless tears if that makes sense. Not regular sadness. My response? I went to the kitchen. I ran the water and washed some dishes.. as a distraction (I don’t want him to think I have a drinking problem) while I grabbed some Hennessy and mixed it with cranberry juice. Upon doing this, I realized this is my normal response when I’m in this mood. I don’t drink large amounts and get super drunk. But I do take a couple of shots. I wonder if anyone else gets into these random moods with seemingly no trigger, and how you deal with them. Do you have any healthy solutions? I’m not in therapy anymore because I didn’t benefit from it because I wasn’t honest with my therapist, but I plan to get back into it and do it better for the sake of this relationship. Thank you in advanced.
