Struggling with gifts for 23 year old boyfriend-I need help!!

2024.05.28 19:56 Prestigious-Scar6755 Struggling with gifts for 23 year old boyfriend-I need help!!

Hello!! I generally love/am good at gift-giving, but this year I'm really struggling.
I'm truly stumped as to what to get my boyfriend as a birthday and anniversary gift.
For context: my boyfriend and I have been together for nearly 5 years, he is turning 23 and still lives at his parents house (as he is planing to build his own). We share very similar interests, and because of that, we usually agree to get whatever piques our interest at that moment jointly (i.e., a Switch, a boardgame, a video game, etc.). Though it's nice quality-of-life-wise, it makes it so hard to pick a special gift for him because for the most part, he/we already has/have it!
Onto what he's actually into: - he works in a lab and likes sciences in general (especially chemistry and biology) - he likes gaming (on his switch e.g Pokemon, The Binding of Isaac but he doesnt really need anything for that) - he really enjoys board games (e.g Doomlings -but we mostly buy them together) - he likes museums - he likes lego (but he already gifted me some this year ) - he likes to read ( last year I got him lots of books to read already) - he likes riddles, crosswords etc. - he likes cooking ( but he doesn‘t own his own kitchen - so kitchen related things wouldn‘t make sense) - he doesn‘t like clutter (as he only has one room for his stuff and therefore there is not mich space for things) - he likes massages (but he regularly gets them from me) - he likes practical things - he likes nature - he likes to write poems - he is totally into vintage stuff - he's a creature of habit and basically like an old man haha
Onto what he dislikes: - car related things - clothing items or jewellery - puzzles - sports - PC related things - he already has new headphones, phone, phonecase etc - no concert tickets
Oh and also, we live in a quite rural area so there are basically no courses or classes or anything that we could take (such as cooking classes etc)
I am so sorry for the wall of text, I am just truly stumped. I love this man to the ends of the earth and want him to feel special. Right now, my gifts just seem/feel so impersonal. Is there anything that y'all can recommend that might be the fix? Or maybe, something you've received in the past that just rocked your world opening up? Any and all advice is greatly, greatly appreciated!!!

2024.05.27 08:11 noIQmoment A summary of PV4 ARG (alternate reality game) phase 2 so far

A summary of PV4 ARG (alternate reality game) phase 2 so far
I thought I'd make a summary post about this ARG to make it more accessible and potentially get a few people into it on the EN side, and to allow you to read the NGA posts about it without having to backread 350+ pages.
Currently, no concrete solutions or conclusions have been reached. But here's a rough summary of what we know (for phase 1, i.e. the standbyherside crossword and login, see this post). I'll also be referring to the NGA page, which is here, although any discussion about this current phase only starts around page 140.

1. Weird bands in both the PV4 and the Lynchpin website audio

I talked abou the patterns in the Lynchpin website's audio in post on this earlier, but I decided to look at the PV4 audio itself, and found another band!
Unlike the Lynchpin audio, the barcode here is faintly visible even with no gain (see red arrows). Above is the same track, but with gain turned up and zoomed in on the upper frequencies.
After trawling through the NGA page, it seems that they are as confused as we are about both these as we are. Hypotheses that have been thrown around and debated are:
  • PV4 audio's pattern is a barcode (big problem here is that barcodes require uniform spacing)
  • Lynchpin audio's pattern hides Chinese characters in it (whilst it seems so if you squint your eyes, no one has actually found any)
  • The actual sound in the Lynchpin audio is the electromagnetic hum of some star (What star? Is it related to "overcontact binary" which comes up later?)
Here are the audio clips in case anyone wants them - note that my version of the PV4 audio is ripped from YT at shitty resolution and might not be the best for finding patterns. I recommend Audacity to make the spectrograms - it's free and easy. Here's a quick guide on how to do that.

2. Phase 1 rewards

Upon solving phase 1 (again, there was a separate post here about that), the first to input the solution got some parcels. This contained tape, which when put together give this audio (transcription here, also with a comment explaining what I think each one means).
In the background of the last section of this audio, you can hear a voice read out some numbers - when put into Chinese area codes and translated, it reads "Watch yourself, the directive of Originium has changed. Trust AMa-10 (Kal'tsit)."
They also got some cards (photographed here) which contained excerpts from two Spanish poems by Pablo Neruda: La Poesia and Poem 18. The excerpt from La Poesia talks about the sky being ripped open, riddled with arrows, fire and flowers, and the line from Poem 18 is "You look at me with your eyes, the biggest stars."
The cards also have a background text and funny bars on them:
The result of splicing all the cards together
The background text is about using a mental lynchpin to keep the mind focused as you travel through subspace and to not forget where you are going, and the code is a CODE49 which reads "overcontact binary", a type of star system where two binary stars orbit so close to each other they are in the process of fusing.
The purpose of these revelations is unknown, although I'd say that the tapes and the hidden "trust Kal'tsit" and are merely lore drops. The real question is the significance of the poems (why those poems, and those lines?), the definition of lynchpin and "overcontact binary".

3. The % progress on the Lynchpin website

The % progress of the Lynchpin website (ak.hypergryph.com/lynchpin) is likely not actually progressing, but is rather stuck in a cycle of 15-24-33-34-35-35-0-4-12 and is, as of this post, on 33 for the second time.
The meaning of this is unknown, although I'd hazard a guess that it has either something to do with the orbit of some overcontact binary system, or something to do with the lynchpin (the % is representative of someone trying to gather their thoughts without a lynchpin, and we need to supply it to break the cycle).
Also, interesting sidenote: the image on the site bears a striking resemblance to this frame in the PV and to a real-life lynchpin.

4. Other miscellaneous things

There's a lot of speculation being cast around about various frames in the PV: most notably 0:37 and 2:25-2:35. Grid systems, coordinates, star charts, the lot. The most important things I could actually understand were:
  • The blue flashes that turn up at the 2:25 segment can be spliced together into a grid ITA2 code which reads "THE RESULT OF THE PUZZLE SHOULD BE STAND BY HER SIDE" - most likely an alternate way to gain access to phase 1, so probably irrelevant now.
  • Some theories about overlaying these two? Idk man.
  • Some of the symbols on the board at 0:37 resemble those found on the Voyager gold disk (most notably, the hydrogen atom)
  • Speculation about whether clue 3 from ak.hypergryph.com/standbyherside (phase 1) is relevant in this phase, or if the whole solution is, because clue 3 was completely irrelevant in phase 1.
That's about it overall, but I highly recommend reading through the NGA page (even on MTL it's surprisingly legible) for more detailed speculation and potential leads. This document mainly gets you up to speed so you don't have to backread 370 pages of posts. Do note that it's entirely possible that we may not receive all the required clues for weeks or even months.

Three haiku-esque things which wrote quickly to try express how i was feeling. first one could also be 'Turn on the lights on your way out.' changes the meaning a bit. Hope this is okay saw someone else to something similar posting 3 like this. If not then they are definitely actually just 3 parts to one poem.
Feeling quite aloof/spacey so not sure if these will resonant with anyone.

2024.05.25 23:23 TheRedLionPassant May 25th -- The Venerable Bede, monk, scholar, presbyter, and Doctor of the Church

Bede was born in Northumbria around 672, and entered the twin monastery of St. Peter (Monkwearmouth) and St. Paul (Jarrow), which churches stand still today on the banks of the great rivers, the Wear and the Tyne.
He was a monk and ordained as a priest. A scholar and historian, St. Bede wrote many works of ecclesiastical history, which are still read today. He is a patron of writers and historians.
He died in 735 in his cell, singing a Gloria. Just before he died he composed a famous poem, called Bede's Death Song:
Before the necessary journey,
None are wiser in thought than needs be,
To think, before he goeth hence,
About what of his spirit, of good or evil,
Will be judged after his death-day.
He is buried in the Galilee Chapel of Durham Cathedral, the chapel of which was built in the 12th century.
Collect:
God our maker, whose Son Jesus Christ gave to thy servant St. Bede grace to drink in with joy the word that leadeth us to know thee and to love thee: In thy goodness grant that we also may come at length to thee, the source of all wisdom, and stand before thy face; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord. Amen.

2024.05.25 19:47 LargeCryptographer59 Review my Stats: I need a reality check asap 🤡

Hey, I'm an international student from India. My high school and senior secondary is done in CBSE curriculum. I don't plan to take the AP exams as such cuz they're obviou expensive and I'm broke (hence I'll be requiring financial aid) I plan to pursue Biomedical Engineering. First Generation/ Single Mothe Dad abandoned.
Responsibilities: Mother's leg got fractured in IXth- explains my relatively okay ish performance in finals of 9th grade. Also she suffers from calcium deficiency and bone related issues so I look upon that aspect too. Also have been batteling financial constraints and hence started working at a nearby store, managing academics + finances.
My stats: (My High School was relatively a small school catering to 300-450 students. Hence the opportunities I've received and activities undertaken are in lieu with this) Class IX Mid terms percentage - 94% Final-89% Was Vice Head Boy Vice Secretariat of Rotary Interact Club at my school. Ran a drive of making jute bags for and cup platters of jute for donation + environmental awareness and donation of stationary items to a nearby orphanage which housed about 50 orphan children. I also have a Painting Certificate from UNESCO and Ministry of Cultural Affairs at School level of mine.
Class Xth: Head Boy of the School: Leaded a Student Council of 20 members- consisting of both the Cabinet + Club Captains Made a healthy environment for students by spreading awareness about bullying and it's ill effects in the school.(this was a huge thing in my school) Plus organised the morning assembly class wise- in such a way to bring on to the stage every child of the school so that they get the opportunity to showcase themselves + combat stage fright and feeling of underconfident. Student testimonials after the tenure revealed that now they were much more confident on appearing on the stage to recite poems, speeches and dramas of there choice given the empowerment and system of Student Council Head
Member of the Literary Club. The assembly and students fighting their low self esteem was part of the initiative started at this club- first starting at the Club level during the particular 2 hours period of Club Activities and then expanded it to Morning Assembly.
Also won 3rd place in a Inter- School Competition in Review Writing (i don't think this is quite strong one but it's just there)
Wrote a drama and also acted in it on the School's Envision Annual Day which was based on "Evils of Dowry" and how it destroys the lives of women and those around them, along with displaying the other aspects of what happens when the same is done towards the groom side (this is a great societal plague that exists over here in communities where son is seen as an asset)
During the Board Examination period, started teaching peers and friends Science and Social Science who were facing academic setbacks and were unaware of how to proceed with the studying aspect- eventually helping them achieve decent marks and pass the grade.
Mid Tems- 89% Finals Aggregated Overall: 91.2% Best of 5 subjects %= 94.4% Topper of the School, scoring the highest marks in Maths (this was the subject due to which dip in my % takes place), English, Information Technology and Social Science.
SENIOR SECONDARY PROFILE: (This is a relatively large school with great number of opportunities and catering to about 2400-2800 students in total from pre primary to 12th Grade)
Grade 11th: Physics Chemistry Maths English and Physical Education Mid terms: 89% Finals:93% (had to work shit ass hard for this) 2nd Highest Scorer from Science Stream- Class Size of 24 Students Highest marks in English, Physics and Maths
Went from my % dropping due to that subject to being the top scorer. Idk how to convert this to GPA. And the top performer in academics and extracurriculars amongst 59 students (Science + Commerce - 11th Grade)
Extracurriculars Cultural Prefect: Inculcated the feeling of cultural harmony which resonated with the ethos of the school via activities held at school which involved showing various scenarios of communities from different backgrounds and religious beliefs coming together to show unity. Was the Head Event Organiser of the Events that took place at school: (Diwali, Teachers Felicitations, Teachers Day, And other Cultural Affairs)
Taught peers and cleared doubts during free periods in Chemistry and Physics mainly
Was a volunteer at Mobile Van Science Exhibition by CSIR- CCMB on genetic diseases held at our school and open for all the student body from grade 4th-12th over the course of one day. Explained Biology concepts while being a Mathematics student pertaining to Vivo General Therapy and how a fractured/genetically disordered gene part is diagnosed, removed and replaced with a healthy one via Vivo Grne Therapy: kinda trespassed the subject bounds of sticking to a subject which I have and doing something new
Attended online course by MIT at EdX: Cell Biology: Transport and Signalling by Rebecca Lamason and Iain Cheeseman. I don't have any certification for this cuz that's again really expensive and I'm broke, so. (A lot of factors come to downplay cuz of finances)
I attended the sessions only and didn't buy the plan which will give the lectures access- that'll cost 8k Indian rupees
Selected amongst a pool of students for showing genuine interest for Shadow A Scientist Program by CSIR- CCMB to spend a day in the lab of a senior scientist of our choice and understand the workings and behind the scenes of the lab, enhancing intellectual vitality and also this showcases genuine interest of mine for biomedical engineering. Got to spend a day at a Stem Cell Technology lab and learnt about Cryoscopy, Cell Transfusion, Ways to detect whether the cell is dead or nope by its surface and color of the solution, specific temperatures to adhere to, Onset of Cancer Cell and how it looks like in the beginning ears, Results of Tests ran on lab mice to understand cancer cells development in neural muscles and veins and how it affects brain functioning, and how does removing that cancer part again affects the functioning, and learnt about an Experiment conducted by LV Prasad Institute of Technology in collaboration with CSIR CCMB for Hydrogel and it's effect in clearing Eye infections by testing it on a New Zealand Rabbit. Results showed that enhances recovery period etc were detected on the subject which was studied under hydrogel vs one which was given normal ones- ultimately leading to his blindness.
Also Worked and prepared Uribed- here's it's abstract Uri-Bed: Where Dignity Meets Innovation- ABSTRACT

Their once vibrant nights are now filled with anxiety and fear of leaks. Their independence, a hallmark of their golden years, is replaced by dependence on others. This was the heart-wrenching reality that inspired the Uri-Bed. As students Me and my friends witnessed this struggle firsthand and knew we had to create a solution as Young Innovators. Urinary incontinence is far from an isolated issue. It affects millions globally, particularly the elderly population. Our goal wasn't just to manage this condition; it was to empower individuals to reclaim their dignity and independence.
2. Delving Deeper: The Scope of Urinary Incontinence and Limitations of Existing Solutions
Urinary incontinence, the involuntary loss of urine, is a prevalent condition with significant physical and emotional consequences. It impacts daily activities, social interaction, and self-esteem. For seniors, it can be a source of embarrassment and isolation.
Traditional solutions, while offering some level of management, come with limitations:
Diapers: These bulky and uncomfortable products trap moisture, leading to skin irritation and increased risk of infections. Furthermore, disposable diapers create a substantial environmental burden, taking centuries to decompose in landfills. Catheters: While effective in managing incontinence, catheters can be intrusive and painful. They also increase the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs), creating a vicious cycle of discomfort and medical intervention. The limitations of these solutions highlight the urgent need for a more dignified and user-friendly approach.
3. Unveiling the Uri-Bed: A Symphony of Innovation and User-Centric Design
The Uri-Bed transcends the concept of a mere incontinence management system. It's a smart bed system designed with the user's well-being at its core. Here's how the Uri-Bed revolutionizes incontinence care:
Discreet and Early Detection: The Uri-Bed's secret lies in its smart mattress pad. This pad is woven with a network of strategically placed, highly sensitive sensors. These sensors are designed to detect even the slightest amount of moisture, triggering a gentle vibration or chime before any leakage occurs. This early detection system allows users to address the situation discreetly, ensuring a peaceful sleep for both themselves and their caregivers. Hygienic and Efficient Drainage: When moisture is detected, the Uri-Bed goes a step further. It features a discreet, closed-loop drainage system. Urine is channeled away from the user through a network of channels embedded within the mattress pad. This eliminates messy cleanups and minimizes the risk of skin infections. The collected urine is then deposited into a disposable container attached to the bed frame, ensuring easy and hygienic disposal. Data-Driven Insights for Proactive Care: The Uri-Bed doesn't stop at managing incontinence; it empowers informed care decisions. The system collects valuable data on urine frequency and volume. This data can be accessed by caregivers or medical professionals through a user-friendly interface. By analyzing these trends, potential health concerns like UTIs or changes in bladder function can be identified and addressed proactively. Early detection and preventive measures can significantly improve a user's overall health and well-being. Optional Remote Monitoring for Added Peace of Mind: For added convenience and peace of mind, the Uri-Bed offers an optional remote monitoring feature. Caregivers can receive alerts on their smartphones or other devices when the system detects moisture. This allows them to check in on their loved ones remotely, particularly for those who live independently. 4. Prioritizing Affordability and Scalability - A Sustainable Solution for Everyone
We recognize that affordability and accessibility are crucial for widespread adoption. The Uri-Bed is designed to be cost-effective and scalable for both home and institutional settings. By utilizing readily available technologies and components, we've kept the production costs manageable. Our estimated cost per unit, X Rupees, falls significantly below the long-term financial burden associated with traditional incontinence management methods like continuous diaper use and frequent medical interventions.
Our implementation plan focuses on collaboration and community engagement:
Pilot Testing and User Feedback: We plan to conduct pilot testing in both home and aged care facility environments. This will allow us to gather valuable user feedback from both patients and caregivers. Their experiences will guide further refinement of the Uri-Bed design to ensure optimal user experience and comfort. Strategic Partnerships: Collaboration is key to success. We will partner with geriatric specialists, caregivers, and manufacturers to achieve our goals. Geriatric specialists will provide invaluable insights into user needs and potential health considerations. Caregivers' feedback will be vital in tailoring the Uri-Bed to real-world solution.
4. Prioritizing Affordability and Scalability - A Sustainable Solution for Everyone
5. A Competitive Landscape: Uri-Bed Stands Out
The Uri-Bed doesn't exist in a vacuum. While existing solutions address incontinence to varying degrees, the Uri-Bed offers a unique and comprehensive approach:
6. Beyond Incontinence: Exploring the Future Potential of Uri-Bed Technology
The innovative technology behind the Uri-Bed holds vast potential beyond its current application in managing urinary incontinence. Here are some exciting possibilities for the future:
7. Conclusion: A Tapestry Woven with Innovation and Compassion
The Uri-Bed isn't just a bed; it's a symbol of hope and a testament to the power of human ingenuity. It's a testament to the unwavering human spirit that strives to improve the lives of others. We envision a future where technology seamlessly integrates with care, where individuals facing incontinence can reclaim their dignity and independence. We envision a future where every night is a restful one, and where proactive care empowers a healthier tomorrow. Join us on this journey as we weave a tapestry of innovation, one revolutionary beep at a time. By creating solutions like the Uri-Bed, we can ensure that the twilight years are truly golden, filled with comfort, dignity, and a renewed sense of well-being.
This was made by using tools in our Atal Lab and was displayed at National Thalir innovation fest and won creative mastery award. Also had the opportunity to display it at T-WORKS Hyderabads Makers Space Open House which displayed various prototypes and new ideas and got ideas from engineers on how to further develop it.
Worked on Wipro Earthian Waste Management project, assessing qualitatively and quantitatively the wastage generated in school as a whole and disposal measure. Got to know the waste is burnt in the area near to school buses which the students as well as the cows which are in the School's Cattle House are in close proximity with during breaks and home returning time and hence approached the authorities and enclosed the area where the waste is burnt with tin sheds, limiting it's transfusion to human and animal lives and limiting the area where it's burnt, reducing the land that gets degraded.
Also won Swami Vivekananda Youth Level Leadership Award for Outstanding Leader. The contest was held over a 5 month period and had 500 participants in the start. Contest assessed decision making, collaborativeness, thinking ability, honesty quotient, speech, communication, approachibility as a leader, and team work. For context it's Yuva Sangharsh Award by Ramakrishna Math, Hyderabad. For context and clarity: https://rkmath.org/ys/
Grade 12th It'll start soon. I'll be applying for Head Boy. Plan on inception of a Major Club: Young leaders club which will house minor magnet clubs like mental health peer support group to help students battle mental health issues due to academics and family problems,environment warriors, bookers club, and youth advocacy club.
I'll be giving SAT but am unsure about the funds cuz again it'll cost 12k for the registration. I'm working right now to save the amount. It's the finances.
I'm unsure about my college acceptance. I've added big ivy universities and mainly private universities cuz they'll be need blind if I get in and are generous, unlike others who take international students as cash cows. If the tution is covered I can manage housing and flight by education loan as such. Public universities give a side eye to international students so can't afford that.
Due to financial constraints I've also started preparing for JEE - an examination in our nation for admission to engineering colleges as a backup option just in case this doesn't work.
Welllp guys lemme know how's it and where should I improve. universities give a side eye to international students so can't afford that

2024.05.23 01:16 mlucafe I think I cracked the meaning of Cowboy!!!! It's a lot bigger than I could have imagined and so many people are on it

I think I cracked the meaning of Cowboy!!!! It's a lot bigger than I could have imagined and so many people are on it
I know this is long but please read it until the end.
You should now that so far in 2024, 31(!!) songs with the word "cowboy" have been released, 18 songs with the word "cowboy" were released in 2023, 20 songs in 2022, 16 songs in 2021 compared to 5 songs in 2019 and 2018, 7 songs in 2017 and 3 songs in 2016. https://www.chosic.com/song-title-search/
some examples:
https://preview.redd.it/f95eseaxn22d1.png?width=403&format=png&auto=webp&s=cbfa93e3efc6fde7514cca51b0fea1dad36f8275

(2024) Cowboys Cry Sasha Alex Sloan
Me again???
https://preview.redd.it/kvh33gjgp22d1.png?width=404&format=png&auto=webp&s=9a0835471afb60e5b924acb7c92ffbb07dafe3f7
2023) Cowboy Brasstracks
Purple or lavender??
On to the meaning...
So we know the theme of cowboys appears in Taylor’s work (Cowboy like me, Closest to a Cowboy – unreleased).
And I think Cowboy is referencing the full length version of the poem "Cowboy is His Name" written by Baxter Black.
Below, I emphasized the more telling parts of the poem to me in bold as it is very long, and I have only been able to crack the pieces pasted below but please feel free to read the entire poem here https://allpoetry.com/poem/3183212--cowboy-is-his-name--by-Colton12789
But basically it’s a poem about a cowboy's preparation for his ride in the rodeo which involves overcoming fear and doubt, much like the process of coming out. The cowboy facing his fears and doubts before nodding to start the ride can mirror the courage required to live authentically.
The sacrifices made by the cowboy and the “dues he paid” can parallel the struggles faced by individuals in an oppressed group in seeking acceptance, equal rights, and personal happiness.
But "his legacy is rodeo and cowboy is his name": which can mean to be proud of in one's identity and self-acceptance.
Legacy of the Rodeo Man
There's a hundred years of history and a hundred before that
All gathered in the thinkin' goin' on beneath his hat.
And back behind his eyeballs and pumpin' through his veins
Is the ghost of every cowboy that ever held the reins.
(there is so much ghost imagery in Taylor’s lyrics as this redditor explained so well in this post . It can also be a nod to predecessors, and artists who have paved the way for current and future generations and so many celebrities are referencing those who came before, the Beatles releasing a song with John Lennon’s recorded vocals, etc.).
Every coil in his lasso's \been thrown a million times* (the name of Lana del Rey’s new album with Jack Antonoff is Lasso)
His quiet concentration's been distilled through ancient minds.
It's evolution workin' when the silver scratches hide
And a ghostly cowboy chorus fills his head and says***, "Let's ride."***
(Lana’s song “Let's ride”?! could it go back that far? Also “me and me ghost we had a hell of a time*?”*)
[...]
The smell of hot blue copper fills the air around his head
Then a single, solid shiver shakes away the doubt and dread
The cold flame burns within him 'til his skin's as cold as ice
And the dues he paid to get here are worth every sacrifice.
(Fresh Out the Slammer -But it's gonna be alright, I did my time?)

All the miles spent sleepy drivin', all the money down the drain
All the "if I's" and the "nearly's", all the bandages and the pain
All the female tears left dryin', all the fever and the fight
Are just a small downpayment on the ride he makes tonight.

And his pardner in this madness that the cowboy's call a game
Is a ton of buckin' thunder bent on provin' why he came
But the cowboy never wavers he intends to do his best
And of that widow maker, he expects of him no less.

There's a solemn silent moment that every rider knows
When the time stops on a heartbeat like the earth itself was froze
Then all the ancient instinct fills the space between his ears
Til the whispers of his phantoms are the only thing he hears.

When you get down to the cuttin' and the leather touches hide
*And there's nothin' left to think about, he nods and says, "*Outside!"
Then frozen for an instant against the open gate
Is hist'ry turned to flesh and blood, a warrior incarnate.

And while they pose like statues in that flicker of an eye
There's somethin' almost sacred, you can see it if you try.
It's guts and love and glory-one mortal's chance at fame
His legacy is rodeo and cowboy is his name.
"Turn 'im out"
I think I found this is reason and it’s related to all cowboy references going around as this article mentions: https://glitz.beautyinsider.sg/cowboy-core/
Adnd
The one who opened my eyes to this mass movement in the arts and entertainment world was https://www.tiktok.com/@underthepink7
We have Beyoncé Cowboy Carter feat. Paul McCartney, Miley Cyrus, Post Malone, Dolly Parton coming back, Harry Styles at the 2023 Grammy awards, Billie Eilish dressing up as cowgirl for Halloween, Miley Cyrus posting with a cowboy hat, even Brie Larson posing and pointing at cowboy boots etc.
Also notice the peace signs:

This instagram post by Brie Larson entering a frozen chamber with the caption Cowboy boots are always appropriate 🤠 while playing Wildest Dreams by Taylor: https://www.instagram.com/brielarson/reel/CwfosZtA5dO/
I collected these examples researching 20 minutes.
I'm sure there is a lot more. I could do a similar post to this on orange for example!
Or the fact that in 2023 28 songs were released with the word "home" in the tile and 17 so far in 2024, while in 2015 and 2016 only 4 songs with that word were released, 7 in 2017 and 3 in 2018.
Taylor includes the word "home" in her lyrics 157 times.
I think Taylor is taking part and possibly spearheading a massive coming out/ releasing from entertainment industry clutches movement. I’m aware I sound insane.
*
Some extra because it’s fun:
https://preview.redd.it/fyh7rv1gz12d1.png?width=344&format=png&auto=webp&s=bb9b6813624aa25950e40f72f4c8d19a082c6a39
Too high a horse for a simple girl to rise above it. Maybe?

2024.05.20 20:26 Puginator Microsoft announces new PCs with AI chips from Qualcomm

Microsoft is touting new computers with advanced chips designed to run artificial intelligence features of software for Windows, without quickly using up battery life.
The company on Monday announced Surface Laptop and a Surface Pro tablet with a Qualcomm chip that can run some AI tasks without an internet connection. Other computer makers like Lenovo, Dell, HP, Asus, Acer and Samsung are also launching AI-ready PCs powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite and X Plus processors, which promise longer battery life and will run Microsoft’s Copilot AI chatbot.
The computers adhere to Microsoft’s new Copilot+ standard that feature a minimum amount of performance, storage and memory. Copilot+ PCs with AMD and Intel chips will follow, Microsoft said during a press keynote on its campus in Redmond, Washington. The PCs will be able to translate audio, recommend responses to incoming messages and suggest changes in the Settings app, and even talk with people about what’s on screen.
Copilot+ PCs will start at $999. Microsoft is accepting pre-orders as of Monday, and the devices will become available in June.
A Recall feature will be able to search through a log of previous actions on PCs. Recall relies on AI models that run directly on the device, so it can run offline, and an index of the data never goes to remote servers. AI models will be able to generate images based on written descriptions as well as drawings.
Microsoft is banking on Qualcomm’s energy-efficient Arm-based chips that can handle AI models to defend its Windows franchise. Apple has gained market share in PC shipments with MacBooks containing its Arm-based chips, having moved away from Intel, the top provider of computer processors.
Microsoft is expanding its effort to surround consumers and business users with ChatGPT-like capabilities. OpenAI, backed by Microsoft, released the ChatGPT chatbot in late 2022, and it quickly took off as a tool for quickly obtaining computer-generated poems, email drafts and summaries of historical events.
Other large technology companies, including Microsoft, soon started augmenting their products with generative AI. A Copilot chatbot drawing on ChatGPT’s underlying AI models came to the Bing search engine, along with the Windows 10 and 11 operating systems. Those with Office productivity software subscriptions could pay extra to have a Copilot refer to their documents for written responses.
The GPT-4 model inside ChatGPT has only done its necessary computing work in Microsoft’s Azure cloud. The new PCs can run some AI models locally without an internet connection. The launch comes nearly four months after Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told analysts on the company’s earnings call that “in 2024, AI will become a first-class part of every PC.”
Microsoft has had little success in getting people to adopt Arm-based Windows computers, which haven’t always performed as well as PCs running Intel or AMD chips. Certain applications have been incompatible.
Running generative AI locally means computers will need more power, and strong battery life becomes more critical. That might make Windows on Arm more compelling.
Analysts with Morgan Stanley expect Arm systems to be 14% of all Windows PC shipments in 2026, up from 0% in 2023, according to a note distributed to clients earlier this month.

Vivid, brave and propulsive, Vuong's poems contend with personal loss, the meaning of family, and the value of joy in a perennially fractured American spirit. The author of the critically acclaimed poetry collection Night Sky with Exit Wounds, winner of the 2016 Whiting Award, the 2017 T. S. Eliot Prize and a 2019 MacArthur fellow, Vuong writes directly to our humanity without losing sight of the current moment.

2024.05.14 15:08 YourlocalTitanicguy Odd Titanica: Hollywood sleaze

In this edition of “Odd Titanica”, we are going to dive into the sleazy, opportunistic world of show business. A world that comedian Fred Allen said of, “you can take all the sincerity in Hollywood, place it in the navel of a fruit fly, and still have room for three caraway seeds and a producer’s heart”. Hyperbolic? Let’s take a look at Hollywood’s response to the Titanic disaster to see that there really is no business like show business.
Dorothy Gibson and the lost, first, film are well worn trivia by now. The traumatized actress rushed into production, her inability to process her trauma causing her mental breakdown, collapse, and retirement from acting immediately after the film was finished - it’s a perfect story to demonstrate the callousness of the film industry. But there is more to the story, and digging deeper shows us that “Saved” may have been the least sleazy project undertaken by the studios.
Dorothy’s account of the sinking and the suffering she endured filming “Saved from the Titanic” are predominantly found in two sources - The New York Dramatic Mirror and Moving Picture World. These were trade magazines, published weekly, and consisting solely of material related to the stage and screen business. These would be announcements of upcoming features, casting news, celebrity gossip, technical news - anything the movie star to the man sweeping the floor at the cinema needed to know. And they included ads … lots and lots of ads.
Immediately realizing that Titanic was not only a horrible tragedy but an incredible business opportunity, Moving Picture World got to work. As people stormed White Star Line offices, and raided newspaper carts for any drop of news regarding the sinking, Moving Picture World provided the latest in Titanic news; or perhaps we should say “Titanic” news.
The headlines of the April 27th issue may have screamed TITANIC, but as the public grabbed their copy and hurriedly flipped through the pages, they found that what they were actually given was ads. Those eye grabbing headlines were followed by much smaller print-
TITANIC EFFORTS... are being exerted by Champion to put before the exhibitors that will make them regular Champ Patrons! Get the following latest [releases] and you’ll be convinced!.
UNSINKABLE … is the reputation of Rep productions, but these two releases will sink into the minds of everyone who sees them and will remain there as worthy object lessons.
THE CRY OF THE CHILDREN …suggested by the poem of Elizabeth Barret Browning in 2 reels this Tuesday!
THE GREATEST MOTION PICTURE OF NATIONAL INTEREST - THE SINKING OF…. the big battleship. Remember the Maine!
THE DEATH SHIP...a sensational two reel drama of the sea containing one of the most thrilling dynamite explosions imaginable!
For all the slimy marketing tricks, flipping through the pages still has plenty of legitimate ads for real Titanic newsreels, movies, and a specific type of presentation known a Myriorama involving painting, music, and recitation. But, show business would strike again - the ads were legitimate, but what they were advertising was not. History has sort of forgotten the huge demand for Titanic media in the wake of the sinking, something that didn’t really exist. When cinema owners would order these “only surviving genuine negatives of the disaster” complete with lobby display package, they instead received-
our astonishment to find the Lusitania and Olympic, and one or two scratch films of ancient days posing as pictures of Titanic.
But they didn’t stop. Animated Weekly advertised that they were “the first to reach the wreck… chartered a tug from Cape Breton and rushed to the scene while the survivors were still in the water”. Cinemas began to promote footage of the sinking. Audiences wrote their disgust to Moving Picture World-
These representations are to the point of criminality … Take, for instance, the picture showing the Titanic with about a sixth of her forward length stuck into the iceberg. Everybody knows the collision did not occur in that manner!
They pointed to the following ad as an example - FIRST PICTURES OF THE TITANIC OCEAN DISASTER. The cinema owners responded by noting that they had misread, crammed in tiny letters were the words “sunk in” so that ad actually read FIRST PICTURES OF THE TITANIC sunk in OCEAN DISASTER. It was the customer's fault, they said, to be stupid enough to think anyone could have actually filmed the sinking.
Once this ruse was discovered, the studios shifted gears. The next step was to advertise film along with presentations by “A Lecturer who was on board”. When the audience realized the lecturer was not on Titanic and demanded a refund - the response from the managers was
Those signs didn’t say he was a survivor.
… and any attempt to charge him with the crime of fraud was absurd because, in his own words-
Of course I didn’t give him his money back. The sign didn’t misrepresent anything. West was on the Titanic, the sign didn’t say when he was.
…which was true. The lecturer, Eugene West, had visited Titanic while she was under construction at Belfast.
As for the movies themselves?
We said we had pictures. If people were foolish enough to think we meant moving pictures, that was their fault.
This particular cheated audience member was told if he wanted his money back, to go on the street and sing for it. Whether it was this, or something else, eventually the public snapped and began hauling out cinema managers and beating them in the streets. By May, the mayors of Boston and Memphis had banned the showing of any Titanic pictures - moving or still- within the city.
But, where was Dorothy in all this? Tucked in the very back of the magazine, after another newsreel ad,, we get to the celebrity sighting and gossip section. Ed Lux of the Rex Film Exchange was in town, Dan Markowitz of Fox Pictures was as well, Arthur Schmidt of the Victor Film Company was seen having a lovely spa at a Turkish Bath, Sam Gobel of the St Louis Motion Picture Company has been walking up and down 42nd street, we don’t know if Southern film maker Henry Wasserman is still here but he might be, Dorothy Gibson survived the sinking of the Titanic, and the Director of Selig Pictures took some actresses to Santa Catalina for a swim and a photoshoot and they had a great time.
By the following edition, on May 2nd, Moving Picture World was also able to provide its readers with the first stills from “Saved from the Titanic” and a feature on Dorothy. Along with this, tucked in the editorials, the magazine finally published a piece of truthful news about the Titanic disaster-
Senator William Alden Smith … declined to grant permission to have the cinematopgraph make a record of the sessions of the committee. “The sessions” he is quoted as saying…”are solemn affairs and must not be hippodromed or commercialized”. He is, however, falling into a serious error in judgement-
…they sniffed.
As a matter of right, the camera man ought to have been permitted. The day of the enfranchisement of the motion picture will surely come .. which will give equal rights to the cinematographer and the newspaper man.
Then, among the illegal false advertising and reports of public brawls at the cinema, they ended with-
The lesson of the Titanic disaster and all its incidents can be made far more impressive by pictures that move than by mere words in cold letters.

2024.05.13 20:40 McRaeWritescom Discipline. Fortitude. Logic. Y'all got this.

I don't trust this.
Maybe that's because since February of 2021 I've seen every fucking PsyOp trick in the book on the stock I like! All aided by heaping mounds of white collar crime, including the regular fraud, counterfeiting of securities, abusing market maker positions, plus the whole gamut from DTCC's blatant international stock fraud to market manipulation by CNBC a la the Citadel logos plastered across monitors and the set. All sanctioned by the US Government, as inaction from SEC, DOJ, FBI, and other various US government agencies makes them all complicit in all the crime of course, as I KNOW they can't play ignorant about the hundreds of tips and comments individual retail investors have submitted!
Part of me wants to assume this is yet another fake run to shake out paper hands. DFV be damned! I respect the guy, but I've been watching for years from the catwalk, and you regular investors made all this happen, not him!
But.
This saga has helped me with some of my monk shit. Discipline. Fortitude. Logic! I''m pretty Zen, in that I largely won't consider selling until we hit the floor website ticker number. Some of the No Cell No Sell people can flay me for that, but I have Supervillain Plans to get rolling to save the species. You know?
It's been a lovely little foil for my own personal goals, and everyone from Jarumba (sp?) relentlessly asking the DTCC questions to Marijuana Mills for running years, they've all inspired me!
So perhaps I can make a bet to fuel the hype even more somehow?
I won't stick a banana in my ass or eat a whole jar of Mayo, but I'm soon enough gonna beat Shakespeare and become The Second Most Prolific Poet of Human History. (Nobody gives a fuck about a Dead Art Form! Hah!) So if I can beat Shakespeare before we hit the floor website number, or if I can't... What should I bet to help build hype towards a real MOASS rather than what I see as another fake paper hand shake run?
Just thinking out loud here, after chilling in the shadows for a while. Any fun bet suggestions?
(Yes I have written poems about MOASS and GME. No I won't link them because I don't wanna get banned for fucking shilling myself!)
Hope everybody is smiling out there today!

2024.05.13 17:23 SwitcherooU Maybe the strangest joke in the entire show?

You’ll find it during the Superfan cut of “Goodbye, Michael.”
Right after he tells the office that Phyllis was hot in high school, Michael turns his attention to Stanley, who seems to be doing a crossword puzzle.
Michael pulls out a slip of patter and reads the following words: “Do you hate that I am proud and brown, standing here alive, with baby oil on my Nubian thighs? - Big Mama Angelou.”
Baffling.
After some googling, he seems to be conflating the poem “Still I Rise” by Maya Angelou and “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor (not the first time he’s been mistaken about that song).
Then he wants to do a crossword with Stanley, but Stanley refuses. Then they wrestle over the crossword book, and a hentai illustration falls out.
It’s a very strange sequence. For the first joke to land, the audience would have to be familiar with the Maya Angelou poem and also understand that Michael confuses “I Will Survive” with other pieces of media. So I’m not surprised it was cut.
At any rate, it has to be the strangest joke in the entire show, right? I can’t think of one that’s more obscure.
Anyway, I just wanted to share because I was so blindsided by it. I’ve seen this episode SO many times now, and to have this new bit to talk about is a lot of fun.
Thank you for reading.

2024.05.13 07:50 withMIBs Your Astrology and My Philology

I once worried about your liking for astrology and fortune telling for two reasons. One is that I don't believe it is scientific or accurate. I may believe the Sun and the moon affect our lives on Earth. On the other hand, stars and planets are too far and even different from the constellations as we see.
Then I started to wonder if there was any difference with my frequent visits and reliance on some stories. One of my friends once got frustrated by that and said, "Speak in your own words!" I often quote art, music, poems and literature when I express my thoughts.
You know my favorites are Greek and Roman myths, Odyssey, and recently the Divine Comedy and the like. I'm familiar with the tales of each tarot card holds as well. We see patterns in those long lasting narratives. As a book person, you know that, too.
Another reason that I worried about your practice was that I thought you were too lonely.
I heard some politicians rely on fortune telling on critical decisions such as on which date they should start a war. It's OK (I mean, wars are bad, but their decision making process) if they think it over and can't decide it when the options look similar. It's such a crucial decision that it must scare them when they know they have to face all the consequences.
I imagine you are a bit like those decision makers while I am not. Ofc you have friends to consult with, but at the end of the day, you often have to make your decisions, which will go beyond your life. Still you need take responsibilities for them.
I felt worried and sad about the distance when you were playing cards and drawing astrological charts. I imagined you wanted to ask and hear the voice of the supernatural when you sat alone so long on the top of the mountain. All I could do was to watch you being in the light years of solitude.
Good news that I want to tell you now is that I don't worry anymore when you practice astrology or read tarots. Now you allow me to look into your eyes so close, where I can see your spirit. You are a spiritual person, but still humanly humorous enough to stay down to earth. I'm happy to see you smile even when you are alone.
You don't follow the information that they show, religiously or blindly. They are spiritual and fun guides to you. It's still you that interpret the situations and choose the paths.
Me and you are different, but I think I understand your belief in divinity in this regard.
S.
