Essence Of The Magus. (Nasuverse) • It's a beautiful multicolored liquid that, despite everything, keeps changing to new and innovative colors never seen before, it's very mysterious. • You have a natural body, this means that you are the pinnacle of what the human body has to offer in all its shapes and sizes, you are beautiful and as time goes by those traits will only improve, whether you want the strong beauty of muscles or the very delicacy and fragility of a lily, this will be inclined to your desires and requests, so you will undoubtedly be beautiful to your own preferences and desires, even affect the color of your hair or how your eyes will be, and all this without lowering the capabilities of the human body, with reflexes and senses superior to anyone else, your body is the pinnacle and is always improving to reach new heights, this will always be naturally so no one will suspect anything, everything is decided if you want to stay as you are or become the summit of the body of the human being. • You will always be seen in full elegance, maintaining unparalleled grace and balance, you could be associated with a machine before such a detailed display of pinpoint accuracy, you are graceful and gifted with an overwhelming presence and unmatched charisma, expect to have many admirers unless you voluntarily turn it off or mitigate it, and if you consciously use it to its full force don't expect there will be anyone with enough willpower to resist you, you are nobility in every concept of the word, maybe you will get some title like Lorelei Barthomeloi and her title of 'The Queen Of The Clock Tower' or 'The Queen' for short. • Furthermore, you have what would poetically be called 'The Will To Shatter The Stars'. There is no difficulty, no degree of opposition and no level of pain or suffering that can intimidate your intentions, once you make up your mind about something. You can do this all day long and never stop doing it, except by your own conscious choice. Forget mere 'maximum human' willpower, you are absolutely unbreakable. While remaining mentally flexible enough to not be a stubborn idiot, of course. • Your body can not be infected by any being, supernatural or not, you can not be controlled or damaged by both mental and spiritual means, your body is an immovable fortress, your mind to a library masterfully ordered and maintained, your soul is a perpetual sanctuary you can repeat as many times the change of body as Roa or do something with worms as Zouken and your soul will remain the same, you could say that it is a perfect soul for sorcery, beware, the third magic will be and will remain better by far, your soul is something that will remain the same in the face of the most extreme things, but it is not the true immortality that is the third magic, unless you dedicate your research skills to change that. • Mentally, you are able to modify and alter your mind, you can program your mind to react to whatever you want however you want, leaving mental triggers to move before they react is possible, molding it to create a disguise of some different personality is possible, you can even affect their feelings achieving a masterful mask, creating a state with a completely different personality and state of mind is easy, in case you are not sure how to mold your mind without changing you can leave safety countermeasures to go back to any previous state, if a certain thought or situation happens, you are a magician and as such, your masks to fool others are the best, if you use them wisely you could be in your best state to fight or go into a disguise that even Sherlock himself could not discover, this will not affect your will, and you cannot end up as a brain-dead fool by accident, unless that is your disguise. • A little advice, stay away from the eyes of Atlas, those alchemists will see the holy grail or the root itself, if they get to know what kind of body type you have, you will be a very wet dream for any of their researchers, they even have a motto that fits. “It's easy to get into Atlas, but impossible to get out.” • If I were you, I'd be careful with the gods, a body like yours would have them drooling or hating you, it's funny how you don't know which one is worse, it all depends on which gods notice you, god forbid, the Greeks, although they might not even come close because they're admiring you. • The reason for a mind like you have, is to hide the default personality you have as a magus, a cold being, without morals or ethics, who can do anything, this part of you will make the machines see you as the typical sentimental people, it doesn't take much to scare people in that state, people will wonder what the hell you are, what kind of being is hiding under that disguise of flesh you call skin, you can always change it if you want, although you can always hide it, your mind can never be taken advantage of by anyone other than you. • You can choose to have the potential to have true magic, you decide if you only want one or all five in total, you can decide if you want to reach them through research, that being the case you can get creative about how you carry out your research to play true magic, and, it can help you later, this is more of an option than anything else, if you want, you can appear as a user of the five true magics, although it is not said that there will be no questions of how the hell did that happen, you have a complete control of the true magics, and you know both its maximum capabilities and the smallest details about its operation. • The first magic “Denial Of Nothingness”: The first true magic, known as “The Denial Of Nothingness”, is related to the generation of an ether clusters, this includes the creation of matter and energy from nothing and the total destruction of matter and energy in nothing, the clusters of ether are conductors of magical energy. • The second magic “Kaleidoscope”: The second true magic, known as the ”Kaleidoscope” or the “Parallel Worlds Operation”, this includes traveling to alternate worlds, time travel, space-time manipulation and the ability to decide whether timelines are 'canon' or not, you can be creative how you use this, it's not too far-fetched to overlay different dimensions to play with the environment or use unlimited energy from all your universe versions to make a giant energy cannon, the only thing that What stops you is the creativity of how you could use it, you will have to be attentive because interacting with the dimensions and being able to observe everything that the multiverse can be, it can be a bit maddening, you will be protected in any way, but do not expect it to be a very happy, the dimensions have some that can make any person quite crazy, just look how his previous bearer was with the magical girls. • The third magic “Heaven's Feel”: The Third True Magic, known as the “Touch Of Heaven” or the “Manifestation Of The Soul”. This stops the inevitable dispersal of the soul once it no longer has an anchor in the world, and essentially causes it to transcend into a higher form of existence. It is a magic that realizes true immortality by turning the soul into a flat, high-dimensional being capable of interacting with the material world as a mental body without having to return to Akasha. The Sorcerer will acquire an unlimited source of magical energy because his soul becomes analogous to a perpetual motion machine, just like the previous ones, creativity will help you a lot, although with this who needs creativity when you are truly immortal, enjoy ~. • As a certain person said, I wish I had finished in the third, too bad it didn't happen • The fourth magic “White Ink”: The Fourth True Magic, known as the “White Ink”, in another universe the fourth magic is unknown, but how would you go about selecting a magic without knowing all your options? The fourth is based on the manifestation, manipulation, and alteration of concepts, you could alter the concept of water so that it burns instead of splashing (He, he, he) or you can very well create your own urban legend and add the concept 'real' to it, despite the tremendous power that you can still have to be careful, every being is sensitive, even reality itself, so press hard and don't expect to come out very well, you are powerful, but not invincible, keep that in mind, an example would be the previous user of the fourth magic that in an attempt to erase the concept of the fourth magic ended up being erased, it failed to eliminate the fourth magic, but the world ended up forgetting its capabilities due to certain parts that were erased. (Credit goes to AcausalTrillby at fanfiction.net for the inspiration with his story called White Ink) • The fifth magic “Blue Magic”: The Fifth True Magic, known as the “Blue Magic” allows free manipulation of energy/heat without worrying about the order imposed by the arrow of time of thermodynamics (represented by the Second Law), and, thus leading in particular to time manipulation, as opposed to relativistic time travel, Aoko Aosaki managed to affect space-time with this magic, and you can too if you put your mind to it, just be careful you don't want to extinguish life on earth, right? • “The Sixth True Magic”: Currently non-existent, a path to the Root will be granted. You can get close to him, but you must not touch him. By doing so, you will gain access to a new True Magic. It is speculated that the Sixth True Magic might be a magic that can bring happiness to everyone. This may or may not be the case. The magic has to be something unattainable by mundane or thaumaturgical means, as long as those criteria are met you can create the sixth magic, since you are creating something new and not reusing the five magics, this will be the one with which you connect the most, don't get me wrong, if you choose any of the other five, you will have no limits or problems when handling it, in fact you could take it to heights never seen before, only this being your creation, you will be more connected and you, and only you will be the person capable of using it, you are the creator of the sixth magic be proud. • Note something, the first, and fifth are similar in that a path to the root, an Akasha gate, originated and magic was obtained upon its arrival, while the second, third, and fourth were produced as a half to get to that place, however insignificant it may sound to some, this has its own weight in how your magic interacts with you, you may be able to touch or see the path to the Root, or you may try to recreate the means to reach the Root, be careful with that, people smarter than you tried, and they didn't end very well. • It can be said that magicians have become the adversaries of the planet, and by having magic, as redundant as it sounds, you have become a magician, something that the human mind would not normally be able to carry as a burden. Carrying such a power is the recklessness of changing the world, as such, from the moment you obtain true magic, you are destined to go through great things or most likely to affect the entire world, whether the change is good or bad, it will depend on what you decide. • Becoming a magician is something that must be thought carefully, it is a mantle, and it is raw power that will undoubtedly affect how you see the world or how the world sees you, you are entering forbidden territory for human hands, it is the land of gods, so unless you want to fight against gods or planets, think about it a bit before making your choice, and of course, you have some duties with humanity, it's not mandatory, but you can at least look at them once or twice, so they don't get killed or end up committing suicide. • You can grant one magic per person by creating five or six wizards who will be loyal to you until death, you can remove that magic whenever you want and however you want, although at least tell them what you are giving them, you do not want extradimensional accidents or extinction of life on earth, you can always decide to ignore this advice and have fun with the results. • You are by far the most talented and predisposed being to magic, your talent, ingenuity, and creativity have no comparison, your sense, and intuition regarding magecraft is undoubtedly superior, your mind has a library with all the magical knowledge of the entire verse from TYPE-MOON, whatever reality it is, it can be a bit overwhelming, but you get used to it, god forbid you can follow in the footsteps of Lorelei and focus on basic magecraft or some specific theme and develop it so much that you become the Bruce Lee of magic with 'Repeat a kick a thousand times', of course with your talent that can reach true magic levels very quickly, with any magic. • You can connect and adapt to any existing thaumaturgical foundation, yes, that includes the church, this would allow you to use any existing spell as long as you are connected to the foundation of that respective spell, be it sorcery, from Chinese philosophy magecraft, traditional Japanese magecraft and of course the one practiced by the clock tower, there is no foundation that you do not know and to which you cannot connect, if you do not like any, you can create your own thaumaturgical foundation with the rules and implications that you want and although technically it would be impossible, your own willpower is enough to maintain that foundation, if you decide to make that foundation your primary method of practicing magic, with your willpower involved, believe me, there will be no end to how strong you can become, and that applies to every foundation you connect to, you can revive a foundation on the verge of death to its best moment and take it to something much better. • Established and long-standing foundations will be more likely to connect and improve, they may not be as versatile, focusing only on their field as the church that is dedicated to something more spiritual, so be aware that you would spend a lot of time and resources originating a new foundation that connecting and empowering an existing one, each one has its cons and its pluses. • As a great magus you don't always have to depend on a large mound of magic circuits for everything, you can use the quantifiable energy of the Soul; the pseudo-spiritrons to design organisms or stronger objects, as the alchemists of Atlas do, you can also be like hackers and enter the network practicing their code-cast method, whenever you cannot or do not want to use your magic circuits you will find another way to practice sorcery, very well you can practice some method of “Walk and Breathe” to try to become a Xian, whatever method you choose you can take it to unimaginable heights without relying on your magic circuits, and with your talent you can do wonders. • It is true that you can work without magic circuits, you could very well become the best spell caster without even using them even once in your life, but it is better to use every resource you have and magic circuits are part of those resources, your circuits are special, unique in its kind, you will start with fifty magic circuits “Blue Bloods: Noble Magic Circuits”, being the best of the best, what differentiates it from the others is that your magic circuits are improved and shaped the more you use them, these circuits they will grow, improve and multiply, the very environment where you are will affect them and will affect their growth, they may become a “Magic Nucleus” or for some strange reason a “Magic Reactor”, there is also the possibility of becoming “Regression to the Age of Gods”. Allowing you to reproduce the existing mysteries before the age of man, it is certain that they will become what you want and that they will continually improve, in case they are damaged, or you do not have magic circuits they will begin to sprout or self-repair always looking for a way to advance, they may even be influenced by your origin. • As you have undoubtedly noticed, your magic circuits are not natural, this will not affect your form of sorcery in any negative way, who knows, you may reach some level higher than “Blue Bloods: Noble Magic Circuits” magic circuits are used to connect to the thaumaturgical foundation, you will see a rapid adaptation and improvement, the more you use them with a specific foundation, maybe even adopt some characteristics of said foundation. • You can create magic circuits through research and development and implant them in a host, but such a thing would be for someone else, because yours are already on their way to the best of the best. • This also affects how much magical energy you use, to make a comparison, the average mage has 20 units of magical energy, Ciel had 5000 units, you have 10000, and it will always improve according to your magic circuits, as a respected magus you must have enough energy to sustain any research or spell you want. • You can change your origin, it is true that the origin is the starting point that defines one's existence and directs one's actions throughout life. It is the driving force that comes from within the Root, which has managed to sprout from the Source and take material form, but you can change it, unlike other people you can trace your origin to the Root and exchange it for something that is more convenient, ok to see changes, so you will have to be careful, but at least you can change it for anything you want, be it creature, emotion or concept, you can even keep several at the same time, although you would have to be careful, the origin may end waking up if you swap it too much or if you have several, and they manage to sync up, you're a never-before-seen case, so crazy things can happen. • If a person ends up awakening their Origin, it becomes nearly impossible to deviate from their Origin, if even possible in the first place. It becomes an impulsive behavior that one would follow as if it were an absolute order, it has to be taken into account that if you achieved such a thing you would gain superhuman abilities according to your origin, the defense mechanism that you have will save you at some point after awakening your origin, the defense mechanism returns your origin to its state before waking up, you can program it so that it takes days or months to put your origin to sleep again, keep that in mind, the origin has to be treated with care. • Element, the elements are somewhat easier to deal with and without as much danger as the origins, by default you are an average with the five elements, fire, water, earth, air, and ether and just as before you can exchange and modify them to your liking it is better not to overlap an exaggerated number of elements, but at least you are not in as much danger as with the origins, the element is the type of magic with which you are more predisposed and which one you are better at, it should be noted that different cultures handle in different ways the elements, so there is a variety of elements with the same name, you will have to be more specific when changing the element. • The elements are not so rigid when it comes to making magecraft, if we put as an example that you have water as an element and that you want to learn spells more inclined with fire, you can, but it will cost more, although that is not your case, it should also be remembered that the elements are more than the name of said element itself, water is the fluidity and control of liquids, the other elements are something similar, only with their own peculiarities, there are elements as unique as sword or hollow, so who knows What things can you achieve if you start being creative. • Origins and elements are connected, so if you have the same origin and the same element, you will notice that your magic will have a boost on anything bordering on that field, although you run the risk of over-specializing, an example would be demon origin and demon element, you will find that you could do spectacular things with demonology, although you won't be able to do much with any kind of sorcery not associated with demons. • You are an artist when it comes to creating things, you would fit very well with Atlas, just like them, you are able to create things that could bring about the destruction of the world seven times, there is no limit in what you are able to build, from mystical supergiant codes like the “Foundation of Philosophy” up to the seven weapons of Atlas, it would be possible within your capabilities to start theorizing how to create Noble Phantasms or recreate them, very well you can do like the hikikomori of Caubac and create your own holy scriptures, or you can be like Zelretch troll and create items about magical girls or whatever you prefer, you can create the philosophical keys or magical crests or create something new based on it. • Theoretically, you are able to build anything shown in TYPE-MOON that is supernatural, and this includes everything from a simple pistol to the MOON CELL itself, and always with the ability to innovate, improve, or create something entirely new. • The “Philosophy Foundation” generated by the Xian in the land of China is essentially a simulation of an artificial Root. The Xians worked together as a group to build it. Instead of connecting to the Root using the gods as a relay, as civilizations in the Age of Gods did, the Xian produced their system of magic by building a Supergiant Mystic Code that merges with the planet. That is the Philosophy Foundation. • You are able to break down any magic you see or theorize into its most basic components, you may very well be called the second coming of Waver, for what you can do, with your talents it would not be difficult to dissect any magic you see down to its most basic concepts, being able to recreate it if you decide to do such a thing, you can always see ways to improve or modify it, but there is no magic that you don't see that you don't understand. • It has been said that anything magecraft can do technology can do and vice versa, you understand that principle well, you are capable of achieving anything science achieves through magecraft, any technology you see will only give you new and innovative ideas to achieve it through magecraft. • An example would be Apollo 11, you can imitate such a thing with magecraft, a space teleportation to reach the moon or some strange chimera that can take you, to know if you can do something else with astrology, true magic may end up dying, but magecraft it will be maintained and will continue to advance as long as you exist and science exists. • A magus is a scholar above all else, as a magus your main skill will be the investigation of sorcery in order to get to the root, you are a born investigator knowing every detail of the book by heart, a slight passing glance is enough to remember it whenever you want without need at a second glance, and not only that, you understand them to their very core, anything you don't know, you only need to investigate it to learn, as a researcher your handwriting will be relentless, your notes will be the finer details, and you can always do a thesis about a thousand and one ways to get to the root, you know for shit and giggles. • You unconsciously organize your work space, you will not be the typical researcher with your head in the clouds and with a workshop more messy than your room, no, your workshop is a perfect example of order, organized to the millimeter without you realizing it, this is also gone to all your jobs, no leaving dangerous things lying around unprotected or having all your tools dirty and messy, you know what they say, a tidy space is a safe space, and you have exemplary security. • You are a good teacher, you see the talent of people, their potential, and you can show that by bringing out all that talent, just like Waver you are an exceptional teacher when it comes to teaching, even the dumbest and most talentless person can become even a Lord, a person with real talent and a good head on his shoulders can very well get to Marshall just like Zelretch and Lorelei, of course as long as he listens to your lessons. • In addition to research you can focus your skills to develop many elements in any field you choose, on top of that you will never see any unwanted side effects or stalling your research, you see possibilities in mistakes, small delays in full stalls of a sorcery, potential in drawbacks, every mistake, bump, or snag in your eyes will become a possibility that may very well take your research to new heights. • Example: you can focus on martial arts, create something like the Nanaya killing arts, even recreate the Nanaya arts themselves, use pre-existing martial arts to give them mystical effects, it's very viable, you can create your own mystical martial arts. Assessing an enemy in the middle of a fight is easy for you, developing countermeasures against him or finding weaknesses you can exploit (If you have “The Mystic Eyes Of Death Perception” or something similar, you can find new lines of death or develop them in your enemy yourself) there is no field in which you cannot apply your talents. • Optionally, you can create a workshop, a workshop is a place where the magus carry out their research, it is a sacred place that any self-respecting magus will never let anyone enter, yours is impenetrable and untouchable, unless you allow it, at first you can design it inside as you like either as some ancient place of study or as a modern laboratory, your workshop is a subspace between dimensions, impossible for any being to find, no matter where you go you can access to your workshop from anywhere, be it places as remote as the bottom of the ocean, some forest, or desert forgotten by the hand of God or space itself, you just have to call it the way you want, a door will open where you can enter, you can modify this entrance as you want, needing a key or only access from a certain door when you want, and always having the flexibility so that you can modify it to your g you. • Your workshop has books on every possible sorcery and various ways to implement it, even notes for a beginner to practice little by little and build slowly, along with manuals and various articles for learning, it also has information on magus policy or data from the world both known and not, there is a lot of knowledge that will serve you, and not all of it is necessarily sorcery, at your option, all of TYPE-MOON's knowledge can be here in book formats or any other form you want, the workshop It will have any material or tool you require, and just like before it ranges from the most exotic never thinkable to the most normal, after spending that material it will recharge regularly, so you never have to worry about running out of resources. • In case you want something different, you can create your own workshop in the way you want, building both its defenses and places where you will store your knowledge and carry out your research, when you finish, the construction will gain the same benefits as if you had it. Given, these are undetectable and impenetrable. • Your workshop is a place for any outside creature not to enter and for anything inside not to leave, the workshop is something that you can change to your liking both in appearance, space and time, you can even change concepts within your own workshop, convert your ceiling a gateway to space, so you can admire any star from near or far, you can't be harmed inside your own workshop so the vacuum of space or the sun's rays would do little or nothing to you. • A magician walks with death, you among the many magus out there, you are sensitive to danger, you know very well when something can go wrong, you detect it like a bloodhound, whether it is a migraine, a slight smell or daring visions of the mirrors of what could go wrong, whatever method you choose, you know something will go wrong, and you know what will cause it, there is no longer any danger of experiments or ambushes, your sense of danger will alert you whenever death is near you, there will be no moments either late or too early, this gives you the right time, and also something of how to go out, there is nothing impossible to avoid death here. • You can leave marks on people so that they also notify you if they are in danger, you decide if the same person is aware of the danger or not. • You can say if you want to be like Akiha Tohno and I will become a half-breed with the blood of some mythical or supernatural beast, this will give you certain unique abilities depending on the blood you decide, it will also give you a stronger connection to the mystery, your instincts will be controllable and will not cause any problem, although they can always be useful, it is always curious to know what those senses perceive that is not detectable by humans. • Optionally, you can decide if you want to do some research to fully become that creature, an example being becoming a dead apostle like Gransurg Blackmore did. • You can give people mythical blood if you want to do something with it, you can always control them and take that power away from them if they rebel. • Despite the fact that many magus dislikes it, politics is present within their society, you are the one who governs that, words are an art that you master, you are the best, it is simple to deceive or convince people, you know how people think. People, you know what they want, you know how to guide their thoughts or group a group of people with certain ideas, you know by heart every law, every line, every letter of every word and every political loophole that you can take advantage of with all that, move in the world politician, it's not very difficult, you control it well, you can be considered a control demon for how well you handle everything. • If you don't want to touch politics, that's fine, you know enough to move in society, it's simple to fake smiles or emotions, deceiving people is second nature, making them believe that you are like them, without any problem and with a normal life it's surprisingly easy, if you don't want to fool anyone that's fine, just with the security you show you would eventually have some group of trustworthy friends. • Sometimes it is difficult to know if a decision is good, until after seeing what happens, not for you, the decisions you make, are made under detailed scrutiny, your decisions will no longer have the doubt of whether you did it right, and even if for some strange reason some bad decision goes through your detailed study, you will have a sixth sense that will constantly warn you not to choose it, it will be your decision after that. • If ever it is not enough to stick to the laws, you know how to do everything in a more criminal way, blackmail, extortion, threaten, etc. you know every dirty trick in the book, in fact you wrote the book, you know it backwards and forwards, the underworld has its own laws, and you know them like the back of your hand, your very well can create your own mafia and promote it by the underworld, and when it's not enough to talk, well, it's an easier way to just permanently eliminate every person or group that opposes, not that anyone finds out if you want. • You know people's minds, you know how they think, you know what they want, and you can notice very clearly when some thought of betrayal passes through their pretty little head now condemned, you can tell if they have a plan or if they are trying to influence you, not because of some strange ability but because you simply know how the human being works, there is no person that you cannot understand, just one look and the personality of any person remains in your eyes, abnormal cases like Shirou Emiya is simply looking at them from a slightly different perspective, it is easy to You play with those thoughts, moving some person from one place to another like a puppet is quite a fun hobby, turning the most cowardly person into something much worse than Shirou with his sense of heroism and his lack of self-preservation is simple, the most calm and good-hearted person under your hands can be left as Kirei Kotomine with no moral limit as to how much evil is enough, h woe to whoever makes you angry, you know enough about the human being to create a real hell with simple words, people tend to think that words cannot cause so much damage, after all, words are not as effective as a sword According to them, it is sometimes easy to forget that a few simple words caused the fall of Camelot. • Trade is not so attached to the magus, but it is better to have money and be like Luvia using money from one side to the other, not be like Rin and wonder if you can last until the end of the month paying attention to each expense you make, the world of commerce opens its huge golden doors to you, you know money, you know how money is managed, you know where there are opportunities or how to create them yourself, you know where definitely not to be around to keep the money you have and avoid losses. • You have what can be said, a golden luck, the lottery, prizes, or just finding a dollar on the street, money comes to you passively, you can control how much comes to you, from a simple five dollars to millions, someone can suspect, but you will still be rich, so there will not be so many problems. • You know every dollar, every coin by heart, down to the tiniest penny, you keep it in mind when you do the math, which makes you very good with numbers, but pluses aside, you keep every bit of your money in mind, so that if any bills or coins go missing you'll notice quickly, so it's easy to spot if some fool is having a funny idea about your money. • Furthermore, you are the best at handling money, you can very well copy the Harweys and get 60% of the planet or more, there will be opposition, but if you use this, plus your political skills, you can very well do it without anyone noticing. • Mystery is what allows magecraft, the crystallization of belief, so it is undeniable to say that without mystery there is no magecraft or magic, as time passes and technology advances, the mystery gradually evaporates from this world, a risk for the magus, because their job lies in the very existence of the mystery, that is a danger that does not apply to you, your mere existence revives the mystery, you are like a plant only instead of expelling air, you expel mystery, this is something you can control, such as applying it only to your actions or that it spreads throughout the world or only to an area in general, you decide. • Be careful not to spread it around the world, the revival of the mystery can revive some troublesome things, most likely you can irreparably affect the world itself, the planet itself will be affected by such an action. • If you decide to enclose the mystery in an area, in that small area the mystery will begin to accumulate, affecting everything that is inside, each plant, each animal, each insect, even the smallest being can be affected. • Since the mystery comes from you, every creature that is impacted by the mystery you produce will feel a feeling of loyalty towards you, the probability that they will not be loyal to you is close to zero, they may see you as a divine being, which is god to humans, at worst they will be of no use to you, but they will still refuse to harm you. • You have more security against Gaia and Alaya, they will be softer when it comes to judging whether to eliminate you, you can be much more reckless than the rest of the magicians and unless you do something extreme like endangering the entire planet or humanity itself, none attack, they will stay away and not bother you, they will watch you it is true, but they will never interfere with anything you do as long as you do not go too far, this includes that Alaya cannot prune the timeline where you are, you are an immutable being when it comes to damaging the timeline, the incineration of humanity or the Lostbelt will do nothing to you, you are protected from that by sending you to another time and space, you will be displaced through time to the point of origin where that timeline was damaged, the singularities, very well you can solve it or just observe while you continue with your investigation while you wait to be sent to another space-time, in case it is solved you will return to where you were before all this happened, and in case that timeline is doomed you will be sent to another timeline that is not in danger. • Your powers cannot be stolen, deleted, copied or anything like that, you will have constant protection against negative effects, in case something unexpected happens, you will be randomly teleported, your powers will return, eventually, they always return. • Without perfection, nothing you build is ever perfect, it never will be, nor are you perfect, perfection is a limiting factor, when perfection arrives there is nothing else, that is why you can break perfection being able to grow unlimitedly, there is no limit in terms of you can grow or improve pre-existing things because in principle there is no end for you, and although some may say that there must be an end, a point at which you will eventually reach perfection by not being able to improve anymore, they are wrong, as simple beings, his imagination, his head can only come to that conclusion, that there is a limit, but not you, the limits seen in mortal eyes do not apply, you see an infinite path, the root itself is infinite and constantly growing, because you cannot be equal to her and have no limits in your growth, without perfection, without limits, a perpetual growth.

[end of message]
First of all, I think the tone and choices of word in this message is incredibly annoying, it is not a honor to have to set up 2 cameras. I 100% understand why it is necessary and am happy to comply, but I think it's very annoying to start the message with Congratulations. (This is only a minor concern though).
From my previous experiences with these calls, security is relatively tight on these calls. Any player who performs far above their title would suggest appears to be invited to these calls, yet chess com never invites Fabi, Kramnik etc. to these calls (obvious since they believe everyone who beats them is not being monitored at all). Yet from my experiences, anyone performing above their title will be monitored for several events, until it is clear they can replicate their success under monitoring. (after which they should be presumed to be a strong player).
In addition, I'm certain that at least a few players who have been accused have been monitored during the games in which they were accused (some have even stated as much in this sub). Chess com could very easily share this info when a player is accused, making the accuser look silly, yet they keep their monitoring practices under wraps (I have genuinely no idea why).

Ok, trying this again with my thesis clearly at the top. Thesis: Defining morality is the critical first step in discussing the topic. Once we define what it is, the question of objective vs. subjective becomes secondary or perhaps pointless. I will argue that the only meaningful way to define it is based on well-being/suffering.
There are probably dozens of conversations every week in this subreddit that end up focusing on whether morality is objective or subjective, whether a god is required for morality, whose morality is better, etc. But in my opinion these conversations tend to fail before they even get started because the participants skip right past discussing what morality even IS in the first place. We can't have meaningful conversations when we're using different definitions for the same words. So what is this thing "morality" that we're all discussing?
Definitions
A non-theist might be talking about "that which improves well-being and reduces suffering," while a theist might mean "that which God approves of." But I would argue that something like the former is the only meaningful way to define morality. I think theists will generally agree that this is at least a component of morality, but are often hesitant to limit it to this definition because they feel there needs to be some element of God's approval involved. And also because many theists categorize things as immoral (like homosexuality) which they cannot justify without appealing to their chosen god.
Some theists do go full Divine Command Theory, but this is a non-starter in my opinion. If morality simply means anything that God commands, the word becomes useless. If God commands you to give to the poor, then that is moral. But if God commands child abuse, then that is moral as well. What are we even talking about at that point? Just ditch the word "morality" and say "obedience" instead.
Those who see the obvious flaws of Divine Command Theory but aren't willing to keep God out of the definition completely end up with some kind of Frankenstein definition like "that which improves well-being and reduces suffering and/or that which God approves of, even if it has no bearing on well-being or actually causes suffering." Inconsistent and not very useful.
I would challenge theists here who don't like my definition to provide a different definition that we can use to evaluate any given action on its own merits and does not rely on any level of "God approves of it."
Many people (theist or not) seem to have a subconscious definition of morality as "that which we should do." However, the word "should" is meaningless in the absence of a specifically defined goal. If you're going to talk about what we should do, you must follow it up with "in order to [desired goal here]." The implied goal in people's minds is "in order to be a good person" perhaps. But good is just a synonym of moral in this case, so it becomes "morality is that which we should do in order to be moral." It's circular.
Objective vs. Subjective
So if our working definition of morality is "that which improves well-being and reduces suffering," then is morality objective or subjective? There are things that objectively improve well-being or objectively cause suffering so in that sense, perhaps.
Though how can we say it's objectively wrong to murder? Because wrong in this context means immoral and immoral means that which causes suffering. Murder objectively causes suffering so murder is objectively wrong by definition.
This all still sounds very subjective, I can hear theists saying. They of course claim that morality is objective only if God exists. But again this claim is meaningless in the absence of a definition of morality. If morality is simply what God commands, then the claim becomes completely vapid: "What God commands is objective only if God exists." Or if God gives moral laws because he cares about our well-being, then God's definition of morality is essentially the one I'm promoting in this post. In which case, the claim becomes a non-sequitur: "Improving well-being and reducing suffering is objective only if God exists."
Ok, but I still didn't give a reason why we objectively should care about the well-being of others. But this is honestly a bit of a silly question. See the previous paragraph on the meaning of "should." The reality is most people have empathy and simply do care about others on a basic level, which is why morality exists in the first place. Of course, this basic empathy does get overridden by selfishness, fear, and the habits of one's particular culture, religion, etc. But if we can agree that improving well-being and reducing suffering is a goal that we share, then we can rationally discuss it and work toward eliminating such barriers.
If someone is a sociopath who truly doesn't care at all about others, then I don't think any amount of philosophical debate about "should" is going to make a difference. In which case, they should conform so as to avoid punishment by society. Notice this is the same situation if we grant God's existence. There is no more objective reason you should care about God's laws than you should care about others' well-being. There's just a more robust punishment system supposedly in place if you don't.

Hi there! Looking to see if someone has felt the same as me, or in a similar situation.
I(F30) have been working as a web developer for the past 5 years for a company, it was acquired 3 years ago and so many changes happened, however it was bearable. Then it began to intensify and the problems became more noticeable, and now for the past 10 months I have been daydreaming every day about leaving this job. At first I wasn't sure (and I still have some concerns with losing the stable income) but honestly I cannot get over the fact that I'm no longer motivated about any of the high-profile projects going on, newcomers are pretty incompetent and expectations are starting to overwhelm me.
I'm 100% sure it's burnout, but I'm at the point of considering leaving the tech industry altogether and start a different career after taking a break. I doubt it will be any different in another company:

• Directives are freaking out about not meeting their own set goals and are pressuring us to look for anything that will provide instant income. They have always been greedy but it's getting to the point of daily reminders and pushing away other projects that I used to be passionate about.
• I was kind of pushed into accepting being promoted to a management position, which I said from the beginning I wasn't sure I wanted, but I was willing to try. Already a year in and I asked to be returned to my previous job. My boss keeps grooming me (his words not mine) into staying as a manager, that I have potential, that he sees in me so many skills for the role, but it's simply not what I want to do.
• I've been taking too much on my plate because at first I wanted to help covering some tasks where my team was lacking, but now the team depends too much on me since neither the PM nor the PM junior have learned how to do those themselves (they're absolutely trying but higher ups are rushing everyone and everything, of course they're going to miss a thing or two). As some of the initiatives start to fall apart it stresses me out a lot being in this awkward position of "Am I doing the right thing by not helping more?"

I've been feeling tired, guilty, sad but hopeful about thinking all this and some days after work I can't help but tear up a little.
For those who have left tech, or any corporate job that's caused them burnout, how are things now? Looking forward to reading your stories ~

Released on May 13, 2023 via Sony Music Philippines. The song was written by Pablo and produced by him, his brother Joshua Daniel Nase, and Filipino-Canadian music producer Simon Servida. It uses gold mining as a metaphor for achieving success, alluding to the band's career.
The song entered two of Billboard's record charts: World Digital Song Sales—a first among Filipino groups—and the Philippines Songs charts, peaking at numbers eight and eleven, respectively. A dance challenge set to the song became a trend on TikTok. The accompanying music video, directed by Kerbs Balagtas, depicted the band members mining for gold. The group promoted the song with live performances and included it on the set list of their Pagtatag! World Tour (2023–2024). The song has received multiple accolades, including the Wishclusive Pop Performance of the Year award at the Wish 107.5 Music Awards 2024.

“GENTO” places SB19's bold talent and confidence into the spotlight, highlighting their strength and versatility as a group. The song offers a catchy word play, effortlessly weaving ganito (like this), ginto (gold), and gento, the Caviteño word for ganito. It delivers a powerful message of their growth as a group, after years of refinement--just like gold.

- SB19 drops new single 'GENTO', GMA News
Pablo talks about what 'Gento' means during SB19's appearance on AOS.
Pablo, Joshua, and Simon collaborated on the song remotely. From the outset, Pablo already has a clear vision of how the song would sound. He sent Simon a demo of the song along with some notes. Simon then integrated Pablo's notes into the production, making additional contributions to achieve Pablo's vision.
Pablo guided Simon by providing notes on what to change or add, using timestamps as references. To facilitate this process, Pablo sent Simon the demo version of the song featuring his vocals.
Servida Music YT
Simon noted that one element that particularly resonated with him was the song's association with gold or money. Inspired by this, he conceived the idea of creating a vocal sample, which became the main melody of the song.

I want some I get some no later I woke up and baked that potato Got carbed to shape me for major But I stay me not mediocre Look at me tell me what you see all gucci but the real question is who's really me A movie's definitely not my reality 'cause you see marumi marumi marumi eww Marumi = Filthy Kadiri Disgusting
[Pre-Chorus: Stell]
Yeah I'm gonna see you later (later) Pagkatapos kong mag-shower (shower) After I take a shower Medyo ramdam ko na'ng power (power) 'Cause I'm starting to feel the power Kulang pa sa sour mga hater kaya But the sour is not enough for them haters that's why
Culture note: Power is slang for smelling bad due to bad hygiene. Sour is slang for 'looking dirty'
[Pre-Chorus: Justin]
Alamin ang mga bagay-bagay I will learn as much as I could 'Di pwedeng anay sa'king bahay Won't allow pests inside my home Tahimik lang daw ang matibay They say the strong ones are just silent Pero 'pag tinopak talagang mag-iingay (gento) But when frenzied surely will make noise
[Chorus: Ken]
Gento gento Like this, like this 'Di 'to basta-basta bingo bingo This isn't instant like bingo Need mo makumpleto parang bento gento You need to have it all just like a bento Ano kaya mo Like this, you think you can do it?
[Chorus: Pablo]
Pilit na hinukay ang bumbunan makakita lang ng ginto ginto Kept digging inside my head just to find gold Kahit na wala pang hinto ciento por ciento bawat bitaw ko mismo 'eto kaya mo Even without rest, I still give a hundred percent just right, now, can you do this? 'Di ka basta-basta makakakita ng gento You just won't simply find something like this
TL note: Here, ginto (gold) is being interchanged with gento (like this)
[Post-Chorus: Pablo]
Gento mm yeah yeah gento gento 'Di ka basta-basta makakakita ng gento You just won't simply find something like this
[Verse 2: Josh]
'Di ko na kailangan lumunok ng bato I don't really need to swallow a stone Hindi mala-darna 'to aandar ang makina ko I am not like Darna, I can have my engine run Tanging mekaniko ay ako 'la nang moni moniko I am my own mechanic, there's no need for Moniko Sa daming pinagdaanan nagpatong na'ng istori ko With all that I've been through, my stories are now storeys Usyoso mga chismoso halika't pumanhik na rito uh Busybodies, gossip, come up here and beg
Culture note: Darna is a Filipino comic book superhero who needs to swallow a magic stone and yell Darna! to gain powers. Moniko is from a famous Filipino tongue twister, Moniko being a mechanic.
[Verse 2: Pablo]
'Di naman talaga madali aminin ko pa man o hindi It was never an easy feat admit it or not Sa likod ng mga tagong paghikbi kayamanan kong hapdi Behind all the hidden sobs are my treasures of hardship Panis 'to laging alisto kahit pa si Mephisto tiklop 'pag nag-beast mode na bihis ko But that's nothing, I'm always alert even Mephisto, he'll fold when I go beast mode
Note: Mephisto is a demon in German folklore
[Verse 2: Ken]
No rush I can do this all day (no rush) Twenty-four mentality like Kobe (mamba) The harder I work the harder I play Walang home court sa'kin sasalpak kahit away Here's no home court for me, I'll slam it even if I'm away Heto na nga heto na nga wala nang magdadadada Here it is, here it is, everyone just shut your mouth 'Pag ako ang umangat diretso sigaw baba baba 'Cause when I go up, I immediately say, "D up!" Ako ay galing sa lupa I came straight from the ground Kahit pilitin mong hukayin 'ding-hindi mo makukuha But no matter how hard you try, you can never be me
[Pre-Chorus: Justin]
Yeah I know this isn't over (over) 'Di pa tapos ang disaster (disaster) The disaster hasn't ended yet Alam ko na I'm in danger (danger) I know that I am in danger But I'm betting you sooner magiging better kaya But I'm betting you sooner I'll be better that's why
[Pre-Chorus: Stell]
Alamin ang mga bagay-bagay I will learn as much as I could 'Di pwedeng tambay sa'king bahay My home isn't for doing nothing Lahat ng magtaas ng kilay All raised brows on us Susunugin ng matuto namang magnilay Will be burned until they learn their lesson
Culture note: To burn one's brows is to work or study hard (learn).
[Chorus: Josh]
Gento gento Like this, like this 'Di 'to basta-basta bingo bingo This isn't instant like bingo Need mo makumpleto parang bento gento You need to have it all just like a bento Ano kaya mo Like this, you think you can do it?

Just got 10 years deferred felony probation for thc. - February 25, 2024
after 3 and a half years on bond, i finally had my punishment hearing. this is my first time getting in trouble with the law. got arrested in texas for MAN/DEL CS PG 2 4-400g. They found around 80g’s of concentrated thc and an oz of marijuana. unfortunately, this was in one of the most conservative county’s in all of texas. during my 3 and a half years on bond, i did everything i could to turn my life around. graduated college, held a prestigious job with multiple promotions, voluntarily did 100 hours of AA, community service, therapy, got married, bought a house, never had any violations during this time.
after doing all of this, the DA still wouldn’t budge on his plea. my last plea deal was 5 years probation, 40 days jail and a felony conviction. the only thing we were asking for was to change it from straight probation to deferred so i can have the chance to not have this on my record. we ended up going open to the judge to possibly get this deferred. my lawyer thought we had a good chance. during the open hearing, the DA was trying to put me in jail for 5 plus years, but we ended up getting 10 years deferred felony probation. with the 10 years, i have to do 20 days in jail, and complete 400 hours of community service.
if anyone has any advice, let me know. i’m happy of the outcome that i won’t have a felony after completing this probation, but 10 years is a long time. i realize i fucked up, but texas doesn’t play around with thc. since this was a first degree felony, i had a max sentencing of 99 years in prison. crazy to think about going to prison for life because of thc. posting this mainly for anyone who is in a similar boat. when this happened over 3 years ago, i didn’t see too many people in similar situations.
 
Update: 10 years felony probation for THC - May 19, 2024
Just wanted to provide an update. Check my post history for the first part.
I was assigned a probation officer in Brazos County. On my first visit, I started the process to transfer probation to Travis County. When you transfer probation in TX, this is known as courtesy probation. Meaning whatever county you transfer to, they offer a probation officer as a courtesy to the county you got charged in and have to abide by all terms set by the original county. For the first 2 months before it got transferred, I got signed up for the drug testing hotline, scheduled my 20 days in jail, and was told to start knocking out my 400 hours of community service.
For drug testing in Brazos County, There is a phone line that you have to call in everyday to check and see if you are drug tested that day. The phone line was open from 6am-4pm. If you didn’t call within that time frame, you would be risking a violation for a missed drug test. This made it difficult to follow up with. I was constantly worrying about making sure I called every day. Fortunately, i didn’t miss a testing day for the 2 months. I was tested 3 times in 2 months. My 2nd test, I was tested at the end of the month and my 3rd test was at the beginning of the new month. Only a couple of days apart from the 2nd one.
For the community service, I had to complete at least 10 hours per month. I checked to see if there was a way to pay my hours off, but Brazos County doesn’t allow this. I was also only allowed to do community service in Brazos County. Since I live in Travis County and that’s where my probation was getting transferred to, my PO in BC allowed me to wait to do community service until it was transferred.
For the 20 days in jail, It was not as bad as I expected it to be. I was allowed work release to only go in on weekends. On top of that, there was an option to only do nights on the weekend. This meant that I only have to go in from 9pm and would get out at 6am. I had to do this every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night. This was also count for 4 days credit. For all STs in Brazos, they would put us in a small cell with mats on the ground and they turned the lights off. This was different from general population where it was loud and they would keep the lights on at night. I would pop a couple of melatonin pills before going in and would generally sleep through the night.
I have now been transferred to Travis County and things are much better here. I don’t have to call the drug testing hotline anymore that Brazos County requires. From what my PO told me, they stopped doing random testing since covid, and do what they call “frequent testing.” I’m not sure what all that entails yet but he let me know beforehand that I was going to get tested at my intake. At my first visit, I was given a saliva test and passed with flying colors. He immediately put me on low risk and my only requirement is to do a 5 minute phone call every month instead of in person meetings.
For community service in Travis, I asked my PO if there was anyway to pay off my hours and be told me he had to check with Brazos. He got my original PO on the phone and got it approved. I am able to pay $150 maximum every month at $10 an hour. After 26 months of paying $150 every month, I will be done with my community service hours.
Sorry for the long post, just wanted to provide an update with my experience. Thank you all for the kind words and messages on the last post. Things are starting to look up.
 
Reminder - I am not the original poster.

I feel like this is a really silly question that has definitely been asked and answered before, but I am struggling to figure out the proper search term or key word to find my answers.
Let's say you receive a promotion or pay increase that bumps your taxable income rate up. Is there any law or mechanism that would prevent a person from ReFiling taxes for previous years, reduce their deductions in those years, then pull those deductions forward in time to the present as carry-overs?
e.g., Your marginal tax rate increases from 2022 to 2023. Could you refile your tax return for 2022 to reduce RRSP deduction to 0 then refile your 2023 taxes to apply the carryover as a deduction against your new, higher marginal rate? Refiling for 2022 would generate an amount owed to CRA, but it should be offset by refining in 2023 with the higher value deduction, so in theory, you'd end up with a refund.
And assuming this is possible, how far back could you potentially take advantage of 'time-traveling' deductions?

When I first opened my business, I needed to get a website up quickly, and ended up going with GoDaddy and WordPress. This was about 5 years ago and was under a promotional unlimited storage plan. As much as I hate GoDaddy, it did its job, and was a great learning ground to start my own selfhosted journey. Since then, I have set up a digital ocean ubuntu droplet which hosts my CRM (suitecrm), Website (WordPress), and a couple of other self-hosted tools (Shlink, Jitsi, n8n, NextCloud etc.). My main business email is through a paid outlook, but I have been using the GoDaddy hosting cPanel to host a couple of emails and still have my DNS on GoDaddy.
My big fear is that I will mess up transferring my DNS records when transitioning them away from GoDaddy and that really ties into some of my fears self-hosting email. However, my finances and gut are telling me to finally pull the trigger and self-host these emails. There is one that is my personal email (rarely used), but the other is tied to a job board website I started building that may end up adding more users or needing some email storage. Currently neither requires much storage nor have much activity. I have both set up with outlook and the job board one set up with the crm through SMTP/Imap server pointed at godaddy’s cpanel. It also handles the CalDav / CardDav Server.
I know there are several posts about this already. I have done some research but am not feeling overwhelmed and need some advice/direction. I should also mention that I currently don’t love using Docker and have avoided it, but I am open to it if I need to. Also, it would be great if something was easy to add users like cPanel was.
Hopefully, you all can help steer me in the right direction, share your experience, give me advice, or suggest some other solutions/resources.
Some of the options I have found, in no particular order:

• Mail-in-a-Box
• Mailcow
• Mailu (docker)
• MailyGo (Archived, so maybe not)
• Modoboa OpenSMTPD (seems bare bones)
• Postal Server SFTPgo Nixos-mailserver
• Stalwart
• Citadel
• iRedMail

Do you like numbered lists, even if the numbering makes absolutely no sense? 42.) Are you interested in adding more work or complexity to your already challenging June SOTD posts?
If you have answered YES to any of the above then we have you covered.
Announcing the second annual Lather Games SOTD photo scavenger hunt side contest. With thirty new and exciting themes!
To enter simply take a SOTD picture that meets one of the themes, add the hashtag #photocontest and list the theme you're aiming for and earn anywhere between 1 and 10 points.

The themes and points

See the photo theme spreadsheet. This can be found here.
To score points against a theme you need to take a photo that incorporates the theme. You get 1 point for a picture of the theme, 5 points for a model of the theme, 10 points for the real thing.
So for example if the theme is u/J33pGuy13, you'd get 1 point for a drawing or photo of him, 5 points for a u/J33pGuy13 Action Figure, and 10 points for kidnapping him and including him in your SOTD pic.
Please don't kidnap u/J33pGuy13 or any other Lather Games contestant(s). Consent is important, people.

The Rules

• No scrubs. We're a dictatorship. Our word is the law and our scoring is based on our interpretation of the rules.
• SOTD pictures must include the gear you shaved with, as a minimum your razor, soap and brush. If you hand shaved your hand needs to be in shot.
• You must use the hashtag #photocontest every time your are entering a submission to the side contest
• You must also self declare which theme you are going for each day. Failing to do so will result in you scoring zero points.
• Anyone can enter including lather game judges so long as they get picked up by the portal. That includes shaves that would get you DQd from that day in the main games.
• Entries that don't make it into the judging portal will be skipped. No argument. We're not techie and so assume its your fault not the robots. All hail the robots!
• Each theme can only be used once.
• Artful near-NSFW content is fine, as long as it is tagged appropriately. Completely NSFW content is not. If you do enter artful near-NSFW content we reserve the right to use these to create a calendar to raise money to cover our therapy.

The Prizes:

There will be two winners.
The highest point scoring entrant will receive a package of items to improve their SOTD pictures and a gift card to their choice of Lather Games Sponsor. The best photo overall as decided by the judges will also receive a gift card to their choice of Lather Games Sponsor.

The Judges:

• The third-place Lather Games finisher last year and odds-on favorite per Vegas bookies to win the games this year, u/Impressive_Donut114. He also leads the Ohio Wet Shavers Meetup, in what is arguably the epicenter of the wet shaving universe (though I would argue that neighbor-to-the-North, and better-in-every-way Michigan probably takes this title). In his spare time, he is a Renaissance man and a photojournalist, which gives this contest an air of authenticity that it doesn't deserve.
  
• Previous photo contest winner and returning photo contest judge u/semaj3000. The only photo contest judge this year from the Old World, he has been stunning the members of wetshaving with his SOTD photos for years. He's the sub's version of Bilbo Baggins, and pretty much just wants to live with the elves.
  
• The next judge is as notable for his luxurious beard as he is for his love of drinking his shaving water, u/hugbckt! Hailing from the wooded areas of the Northeastern United States, much like bigfoot he occasionally comes out to horrify the denizens of wetshaving, and then retreat to his forest home.
  
• A true coastal elite, u/Priusaurus spends his summers flitting between the Cape and the Hamptons, frittering away his summers with sailing, water polo, and eating caviar out of fine crystal that he treats as disposable, because who would ever want to use crystal twice? In what was a shock to anyone paying attention, he won some sort of silly shaving contest last year, and also (more importantly) placed first in the first-ever prestigious photocontest scavenger hunt.
  
• A man who bafflingly doesn't eat onions, u/OnionMiasma felt that he wasn't busy enough judging the actual games, and decided to help with this side contest once again. He is known for forcing his family against their will to make Reddit accounts and participate in the Lather Games, and still only managed to place second last year.
  
• Promotional, emotional, and financial support provided by u/enndeegee, who I guess is doing something with SCUBA diving this June? Frankly, the rest of the judging committee is glad to keep him at arms' length as he is known 'round these parts for doing absolutely nothing except posting announcements rife with spelling mistakes and then taking credit for all the work.
  

Lastly, we'll leave you with some direction from previous winners:

Words of Wisdom from a previous Lather Games Photo Contest Winner As the previous winner of the first and so far only photo contest, I've been contacted by the judging committee to provide some words of wisdom to budding entrants.
First, just have fun, let your imagination run wild. I love props, if you've got any great antiques or books these always add a classy edge to a photo.
Secondly, equipment. It's not necessary, I do all my work with a Google pixel and great lighting. Don't feel the need to run out and buy light boxes and SLR cameras.
Thirdly, check out the SOTD's for inspiration, there's a great depth of talent on this sub, checkout what everyone else is doing!
Fourthly, send £40 as a cheque to Mr Ja . . . Oh, bribes aren't allowed apparently.
Good luck everyone and have fun

When I first discovered /skeptic, it was like a breath of fresh air. I am a rational skeptic, so here was a subreddit where several topics I am profoundly interested in converge. Conspiracy theories. Quack medicine. Dis- and misinformation and computational propaganda. Extremism. Pseudoscience. Cognitive biases. Philosophy. Debunking. Community events. Interesting and thought provoking science and scientific discovery.
This subreddit aims to be no different.
However, at one point, the moderator team was joined by a user called "ScientificSkepticism". I'm not sure at this point whether the arrival of this new moderator was an outside intervention, perhaps even by Reddit admins. I have no evidence either way.
But I can tell you this much: the subreddit changed from a place of wonder, learning and entertainment into a place of dread, pseudoskepticism, heavy-handed and biased moderation and ideological interventions in direct conflict with basic rational skeptic principles. Let's call it the Dolores Umbridge-effect. Although I'm well aware rational skepticism abhors paranormal claims, I likewise expect anyone to be able to distinguish a work of fiction and an allegory from said work of fiction from observable, empirical reality.
I'm thinking of two to three (series of) incidents at the skeptic subreddit specifically:

1. One user posting repeated pedophile apologia on behalf of Jeffrey Epstein. While it is undeniably true that some of Epstein's alleged victims have gone on to spread baseless conspiracy theories, Epstein has victimized somewhere between 50 to 80 children. This user would demonize them all. Demonize Wikipedia as run by conspiracy theorists. Say things like: "Epstein's prostitutes don't deserve shit" and then follow around, demonize and harass anyone who disagreed, with the apparent tacit approval of the skeptic moderator team. This is wildly inappropriate and unacceptable.
2. I lean left. However, rational skepticism's basic principles trump any political ideology I have, and if a claim passes several stringent skeptic tests, it will serve to adjust my ideological viewpoint. What I won't do, is subject a claim to several stringent ideological tests which then supersede rational skeptic ones. There are several things I won't tolerate on ideological grounds: blatant racial supremacism, nazism, fascism and pedophilia. Nazism and fascism can be scholarly defined by academic consensus and delineated, no matter what anybody says. I ensure you though, neither left-wing nor right-wing clown car activists are going to take possession of rational skepticism and misuse it to further any claim or agenda at odds with its foundational principles. In the immortal words of Jean-Luc Picard: "We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They invade our space and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!"
3. Trans activists seemingly taking over the subreddit with full support of the moderator team and savaging rational skeptic, scientific, journalistic, encyclopedic and empirical principles on the regular. This, on top of defaming, harassing and demonizing even the most carefully worded, well considered critics of this behavior. I have seen outright handwaves and dismissals of statistical science, journalistic principles and empiricism alongside outstandingly blatant lying, alongside trolling.

Let me be crystal clear though: trans people have a right to exist. unequivocally. I am not swayed or influenced by American political culture wars, and this subreddit will strive to consider left- and right-wing positioning by an international metric rather than an americentric or anglocentric one. U.S. defaultism and imposition of cultural dogma from the United States without at least some minimal skepticism truly isn't the way to go.
While it's clear that the American political system is under extreme pressure from far-right extremism and teetering on the edge of a cliff right now, as are many allied countries who are suffering similar issues, none of that constitutes grounds for ideological filtering and moderation at the blatant expense of rational skeptic principles.
This will not be a place to ventilate your conspiracy theories, or corruptly claim ownership of rational skepticism through the promotion of fringe science, extremist nonsense or pseudoskeptic woo.
In fact, my first priority will be to apply rational skeptic principles rigorously. In the coming time, I will look at how I can restore the same climate which once existed at the "skeptic" subreddit. This will be implemented gradually, after initial disruption attempts (which will surely come) have subsided.
There is a high chance of failure. There is a high chance this project will never go anywhere and end up on the scrapyard of abandoned subreddits. The skeptic subreddit got where it is today based on many years of hard work and community involvement. That sort of achievement cannot be instantly replicated.
Obviously, I cannot do this alone. This isn't for me, but for the true rational skeptic community.
The sort of community which eviscerates nonsensical, biased and pseudoskeptic claims from conspiracy theorists, Trumpian extremists and highly aggressive activists from the left alike.
We're going to need a huge dose of luck. Comments should be open now. Share your experiences in "skeptic" if you like. This thread will see minimal moderation, and remove comments in violation of site-wide rules only.

Hey Legends,
What's up? I'm here to introduce you to Truth Inu (the memecoin I launched) — it's not just another memecoin, but a movement aiming to revolutionize how we share and trust information online. Imagine the crypto version of a lie detector mixed with the fun of your favorite dog memes.

So, What's Truth Inu All About?

Truth Inu started as a fun, transparent dog-themed memecoin, but we've got bigger goals. Inspired by figures like Elon Musk who are vocal about misinformation, we're here to be the beacon of transparency in a sea of sketchy news.

The Journey So Far

We've built an amazing community that's about more than just making money. You all have been key in laying down the foundation for promoting truth and transparency. Our meme game is strong — the transparent dog coin isn’t just for laughs, it stands for honesty and openness in the crypto space. Sharing fun memes and random truths with $TRUTH is central to our strategy. Let’s make truth-telling viral and fun!

What's Next?

• Meme and Branding: We’re diving deep into meme culture to spread our message. The transparent dog coin is our mascot for honesty in crypto.
• Tools for Transparency: We've got big plans, including developing a blockchain specifically designed to verify news. Imagine a decentralized Wall Street Journal where truth is validated, and fake news gets busted. Stay tuned — we’ll soon reveal our top developer working on this!
• Empowering Truth-Sharing: As we grow, we're aiming to build tools and solutions that promote transparency worldwide. We envision a world where truth is easily accessible and trusted, breaking down the barriers created by misinformation.

How Can You Get Involved?

• Spread the Word: Tell your friends, family, and even that random dude who won’t stop talking about Dogecoin about Truth Inu. The more people know, the stronger we get.

this happened about 2months ago but i’m still so consumed by it and have no one to talk to about it so here i am she is like my sister. i’ve known her since i was 13 we would always tell people we were twins because we shared the same birthday and both have dark curly hair
she’s a military wife and moved to where her husband was stationed but we still texted everyday and played xbox together. around the time her husband was supposed to be sent over to another country for a year and she couldn’t go visit him or anything this really really upset her and she didn’t text me for a few days.
i was also going through something as well (losing my other best friend and battling pill addiction) so i reached out and told her that we should be supporting each other through this time and she sent me a long video of her yelling at me something along the lines of i’m forcing her to support each other and that she needs a break from me. i understand her side and i’m not trying to make her take care of me or anything but just to not shut me out either. the harshness of what she said still is burned in my mind and it shattered my soul a little she’s never said anything like that to me and her husband has went away before. i played cool and told her i understood. almost 2 months later we haven’t said a word to each other
i keep thinking i must’ve done something wrong. or maybe me as a person isn’t worthy of being in any relationships because am fundamentally broken (not to sound edgy lol) so i could understand why she wouldn’t want to be my friend anymore. but i keep trying to tell myself that she just wants space to heal but why is it only from me? i’m sure she talks to her other close friends (she now lives w them after her husband left so idk if that’s fair but yk what i mean) and then i keep wondering if it really IS just a break… even so i feel like the friendship would be very damaged by the time she talked to me again.
i feel like i can’t go to anyone for anything and i’ve never felt more alone in my life. how have i managed to stay sober this long? idk. (another thing that bothers me is she didn’t congratulate me for getting sober when i posted it on my story. even strangers were congratulating me)
am i just reading too much into this? i have severe abandonment issues so i genuinely can’t tell if she is going to talk to me ever again. if she does i won’t be asking for help from her because i know she probably won’t be there
