While the world is in a race to achieve such a feat, psychology seems to the best place to start by asking the question; what even is conscious awareness? From my own research I’ve found a few concepts which might offer a description: theory of mind, mentalizing, meta-cognition, and cognitive reappraisal come to mind (please feel free to expand on this list).
The movie Ex Machina detailed an interesting perspective on how the main character gave his AI the ability of theory of mind by hacking everyone’s video calls and reducing micro expressions to an algorithm and then programming the appropriate inferences/responses. Seems plausible, so with the right approach and execution perhaps the other components of consciousness can be reduced to binary code.
So what are your thoughts? AI and organic consciousness inevitable, plausible or unlikely?

I have been trying to conduct a MaxEnt test in R and have run into an issue that I can't solve. I would appreciate it if someone could help me. My environmental raster data and presence data are loading correctly. My pairwise correlation is showing accurate results. The issue is probably something straightforward, but the answer is eluding me. Here is my complete code and the error message I am receiving:

Create a dataframe with species occurrences

Calculate the number of repetitions needed for each layer

repetitions <- ceiling(12996 / 4)

Create a dataframe with species occurrences

final_df <- data.frame(

PA = rep(1, repetitions * 4), # Repeat the value 1 for PA repetitions * 4 times
layer = rep(c("bo_SST_SSP585", "bo_SO_SSP585", "bo_SWS_SSP585", "bo_phyc_SSP585"), each = repetitions), # Repeat each layer name repetitions times

)

Set coordinates

coordinates(final_df) <- c("decimalLongitude", "decimalLatitude")

Create a list to store extracted values for each variable

extracted_values <- list()

Extract values at occurrences for each variable and store them in the list

extracted_values$sst <- raster::extract(bo_SST_SSP585, final_df)
extracted_values$so <- raster::extract(bo_SO_SSP585, final_df)
extracted_values$sws <- raster::extract(bo_SWS_SSP585, final_df)
extracted_values$phyc <- raster::extract(bo_phyc_SSP585, final_df)

Add extracted values to final_df

Create predictors stack

predictors <- stack(bo_SST_SSP585, bo_SO_SSP585, bo_SWS_SSP585, bo_phyc_SSP585)
names(predictors) <- c("bo_SST_SSP585", "bo_SO_SSP585", "bo_SWS_SSP585", "bo_phyc_SSP585")
plot(predictors)

Filter presence and absence

presence <- subset(final_df, PA == 1)
absence <- subset(final_df, PA == 0)

Convert presence and absence data frames to a two-column matrix of coordinates

presence_coords <- cbind(presence$decimalLongitude, presence$decimalLatitude)
absence_coords <- cbind(absence$decimalLongitude, absence$decimalLatitude)

Convert predictors to SpatRaster object

predictors_spat <- terra::rast(predictors)
print(predictors_spat)

Utilize ggllay (ggpairs) to make a pairwise correlations to test (30%) presence/absence data-----------------------------------------

Randomly sample points (same number as our observed points)

background <- terra::spatSample(x = predictors_spat, size = 12996, # generate pseudo-absence points equal to the number of observed points
values = FALSE, # don't need values
na.rm = TRUE, # don't sample from NA values
xy = TRUE) # just need coordinates

Convert background to SpatRaster object

background_terra <- terra::vect(background)

Use prepareSWD from the 'dismo' package with 'terra' objects

predictors_terra <- prepareSWD(
species = "Pterois volitans",
p = presence_coords,
a = background,
env = predictors_spat
)

Split data into training, validation, and testing sets

datasets <- trainValTest(predictors_terra, test = 0.3, only_presence = FALSE, seed = 25)
train <- datasets[[1]]
test <- datasets[[2]]

Subset final_df for correlation analysis

correlationdata <- final_df[, c("sst", "so", "sws", "phyc")]

Remove NAs from the correlation data frame

correlationdata_df <- na.omit(as.data.frame(correlationdata))

Plot pairwise correlations

GGally::ggpairs(correlationdata_df) + theme_bw()

Perform MaxEnt test -----------------------------------------------------

Check the number of observations in the data slot (coordinates of environmental layers)

Assuming train is your SWD object

coords_df <- train@coords # Extracting the coordinates data frame

Creating the data_obs object with X and Y columns

data_obs <- coords_df[, c("X", "Y")]

Displaying the first few rows of data_obs to verify

head(data_obs)

Check the length of the pa slot (presence/absence data)

pa_obs <- length(train@pa)
print(pa_obs)

Perform MaxEnt test

model_maxent_SSP585 <- train(data = train, method = "Maxent", fc = "lqph", reg = 1)

Perform MaxEnt test

model_maxent_SSP585 <- train(data = train, method = "Maxent", fc = "lqph", reg = 1)
Error in data.frame(..., check.names = FALSE) : arguments imply differing number of rows: 1, 2, 0
I believe it may be my data_obs and pa_obs results. They both show just one column, one row, and the total presence data.

Hey everyone, first time poster here and honestly not knowledgeable about airsoft at all. These were owned by my cousin who has now left the country and they've been sitting in my garage for 2 years.
I can provide more details of what I know, but there are 3 airsoft guns available for sale. I will list all the information below of what I see on the pistol but I don't want to put anything else in case I am incorrect.

Let me know if you have any other questions! I have proven trades on gift card trade threads if you want me to send those over to you too.

I discovered Shera's videos quite a few years ago, and loved her humour as well as her message to level up. I started noting down all her little gems. They give me motivation, and a giggle too. I am older, in my fifties, and have been happily married for over 15 years, so I don't need her dating, sugaring, or 'get the bag' advice, but I do love her level up advice. I saw another lady share her notes, so I wanted to as well. There are tons, I've realised! I hope you enjoy them!

How do you become the prize?

If you don’t start as the prize, then you aren’t the prize. If you don’t know if your mind that you are already the prize then you can never be the prize.

~~

How to be more feminine so I can be spoiled more?

It’s a lifestyle. You have to act, fake it until you make it, and create a lifestyle. The days that you don’t feel very feminine are the days that you have to use more of your masculine energy.

Remember to always have a space to come back to that is feminine, and recharge yourself with feminine energy. Create a more feminine environment, wear more feminine clothes, listen to music that is going to help your femininity instead of diminishing it.

Keep things that you like to do feminine and do feminine things. Going shopping, getting your nails or hair done, buying shoes, picking out décor for our rooms, decorating tables, going on picnics, watching girly movies.

Recharge yourself by doing some of those things. You need to be able to recharge your femininity at least once or twice a week.

~~

Live the type of life you want already. It may not be on the scale that you want to live it at, but it needs to be a version of it. For example, if you want to live a soft, feminine life make sure your current life reflects that: your current environment, the current way you dress, the current way you walk, talk and act.

The more you receive, the better treatment you receive, if you can get a provider who can let you live a more feminine life, a softer life, then it's just going to get better and better.

But already live the life you want to live, that way they can only improve you and they see how you treat yourself and see what you like and that’s what they are going to be giving you. Your goals will be met just by dating.

~~

What are some ways to keep him interested in he provides well?

Look good
Make sure you know what his interest are
Talk to him
Make sure he feels like he is the man
Look good when you are out with him
Make sure you are pretty and heads turn ‘ooh who’s he with’
His self-esteem will skyrocket when you go out with him if you look good and he’s not going to want to leave that


~~

Men like women to switch it up as long as it’s classy.

~~

Flower attract bees to them by their bright colours and they smell good. Attract men to you:

· Wear bright pretty colours
· Smell good
· Look fresh, dewy and youthful
· Look attractive

Look like the prize. Look like his fantasy. Look through his eyes: what would he like to see?

It’s not that complicated. Bring it back down to simplicity? What do men like?

Heels
Skirts
Dresses
Makeup
Long hair
Red lipstick
Baby voice
Feminine colours
Make them feel good
Give them compliments
Let them talk
Don’t talk about your boring stuff – they don’t care

Use the formula to get success with men.

~~

If you want to dress casual in jeans and a cute top, still wear heels, hair, full makeup. If you’re going to wear jeans, you’re going to need to wear heels.

Also think about this: what sort of man are you attracting. If you wear jeans when you meet you’re going to get taken to a jeans date. Dress for the life you want.

Comment:
When we had a fight I cut my hair short & bangs & went shopping. He was so glad he said “you look like a different person!” The fight was forgotten & he treated me new again & took me shopping again.

"Life is fun! (...) life is a movie, life is a stage. Get into character... "

~~

Men don’t care about anything else but what you look like and how you make them feel.

~~

If you’ve let yourself go, level yourself up to the point that their jaw will drop when they see you.

~~

The only limitations are the ones you believe in.

What do rich men’s wives all have in common besides being pretty?

They’re feminine
They’re classy
They’re not loud and obnoxious
They don’t outshine their husband
They hold back and keep it together in public
They are well proportioned

Shera had a friend who was a little rachet, and she ended up marrying wealthy. She had to totally change everything about herself:

The way she dressed
The way she wore her hair
The way she spoke
The kind of shoes she wore
Her makeup
She had to change it all
How she acted around people
How she spoke to men
She had to change everything
It’s not that she changed who she was inside or her personality
It’s that she changed who she was around men
There’s a difference

~~

Your stock should go up after you get married, not down. If your stock is not rising after marriage you’re doing it backwards. That means still investing into yourself, your beauty, your clothing, into your stash (money, wealth and investments). If you got married and your stock plummeted, that’s your fault.

~~

Loving yourself means putting yourself first as a priority. Knowing your worth and value and not taking any crap from anybody because you value yourself, you love yourself. That’s all loving yourself means. And not talking down about yourself. And knowing that you deserve what you want in life.

Once you do that other people will as well – men, co- workers, your boss, parents, spouse, brother, sister, cousin, whoever. Whoever is in your life at the moment will recognise that you love yourself and that you don’t have to submit to them or that you’re not desperate for their approval. In fact they may start to be desperate for your approval. So make sure you’re putting yourself first.

Don’t be always talking about the other person and what they want or what they think. Don’t care who they are. Don’t care about other people or their spouse or the person they’re interested in. It’s not about them, it’s about you. If they can’t recognise you and they don’t like you, then you are wasting time.

If you have to sit there and be puzzled about why someone is not responding properly or why they’re not doing this or that, it means they don’t like you so just move on and stop trying to waste time worrying about it. You already know that in the back of your mind; you’re just hoping for a different outcome that there won’t be.

Make sure that when you realise you are putting other people before yourself as a priority then you’re not going to get the type of man or people attracted to you that you need. When you can get somebody in the click of a finger and they’re not used to that it means you are valuable and that they are not necessary. They are very unnecessary and therefore they feel like you have even more value because you don’t need them. You don’t need them, they need you. That’s why they seek you out. That’s why they call you, that’s why they ask you out.

Make sure you’re not getting caught up in silliness. If they’re not putting you first, you’re gone. Or you put them on ice; that means you let them figure it out and when they start acting right again then you allow them back into your life. If you’re chasing behind someone, if you’re worrying about someone who ghosts you then you’re not putting yourself first.

And that means you don’t love yourself. A lot of people were taught to act a certain way – not cocky etc – if you don’t, all people see you as is a doormat. You can let down your guards later when they are fully invested in you and aren’t going anywhere, but until that happens they are there to impress you.

~~

How do you fall in love with yourself when you aren’t happy with yourself?

Become happy with yourself:

· Do things that make you happy
· Look the way you need to look
· Continue to do this every day until you are happy

Only you can make you happy

~~

Don’t go out there lookin’ like Plain Jane. Plain Jane gets passed by with the eye.

~~

The key is confidence. You can learn all you want, if you don’t have confidence you can’t pull it off. The key is confidence, knowing your value, and not listening to no dusties. That’s the key, that’s the masterclass right there – be confident.

Be main character energy. Stop caring what people think. Have a goal of what you want and go for it and don’t stop until you get it. Speak positive about yourself and stop dealing with dusties. That’s just it. You do all those things and you’re going to have something. You’re going to get what you’re looking for. That’s it.

~~

It’s not what you look like – it’s how you make them feel.

Are you going to make them feel young again?
Are you going to make life exciting for them?
Do they enjoy being with you?
Do they like being seen out in public with you?

~~

Shera, on when you talk about all your feelings and prior history:

“You’re being an informant on yourself. You’re telling on yourself. You’re giving out all your secrets and revealing everything. So that’s definitely not feminine energy, because feminine energy is naturally dark. You know, it’s water, it’s the cosmos, it’s that. So when you’re revealing everything, when nothing is unknown and everything is known, now you’re masculine. Because that’s light- everything is known. So the more you say, the more you tell, the more you open up, the more masculine you become in that energy, and the less mystery and femininity and feminine allure you have, because now you’re an open book. And they have all the clues to how the story ends and how to manipulate the character.”

~~

“Feminine energy is naturally dark, is water, is the cosmos, is that. So, when you are revealing everything, nothing is unknown and everything is known, now you’re more masculine, because that is light, everything is known.

So the more you say, the more you tell, the more you open up, the more masculine you become in that energy, and the less mystery and femininity and feminine allure you have because now you are an open book, you’re predictable.

And they have all the clues to how the story ends and how to manipulate the character.”

~~

Get them to worry about you, while you worry about you.

~~

How do you find your purpose? You create it.

~~

Leveling up is actually a lot of fun when you are present and mindful about it it’s probably be the best gift you could ever give yourself as a woman.

~~

Stop caring what other people think and live the life you want to live. If you don’t like kissing people’s butts, don’t kiss their butt.

~~

A lot of women don’t realise that if you just get into your feminine, and you stick with your standards, you can get what you ask for.

~~

How to become detached and unbothered?

Stop caring. When you care too much, that’s when you can’t detach and be unbothered. Stop caring, become ‘take it or leave it’. That’s your attitude. You will be fine with it or without it.

~~

Comment:

Three years ago I was getting yelled at a public train station (which we had to take because neither of us had a car) by my dusty disgusting ex. I lived in a cheap apartment with four unsavory roomates and their boyfriends. Now I live in a luxury high rise with a conceirge and valet. All I did today was get a facial, sit by the pool and shop. I don’t have to worry about a SINGLE THING and every man in my life treats me like a queen. I’m truly breaking generational curses; my dad left my mom with four kids alone while she worked at Denny’s waitressing overnight. If it weren’t for Shera’s wisdom I don’t know where I would be today but I just give thanks every day that I saw the light. This is my one and only life so why shouldn’t I be living peacefully and bougie.

It’s crazy how fast life can chance when you realize your worth and act on it. Keep on inching further and further; the more luxurious things you do the more the rest of your life catches up. It literally started with me going to the expensive nail salon instead of the cheap one. Then I felt like I deserved more. I moved into a nicer apartment that was out of my budget at first, then a nicer car, then I started buying designer bags and now I live in an ultra-luxurious place. Small steps and the rest of your life will catch up in time. Of course look your best every day and be healthy. And do not give a second of your time to anyone who does not treat you with respect, remember if they’re not adding to your life they are taking away.

The universe somehow just opened up and rains abundance on me. The more you surround yourself with the vibrations of prosperity the more it will be drawn to you. Ella Ringrose on YouTube helped me a lot to draw in money.

~~

Comment:

Shera ever since I started watching you I have levelled up my life completely. I lost 50 pounds and changed my whole look to be more feminine. My husband was so motivated he started making more money and bought me a home and my dream car. He does everything I want now and he feels proud to bring me home his paycheck. I no longer work and just workout every day and focus on my children. A lot of my family members don’t understand this life but I am very happy and comfortable.

‘Busy patterns that aren’t classy make you look older’. You can show how classy your clothing is by the cut, colour and pattern, not the brand or designer.

Look to magazines for style inspiration:

‘You’re not his momma stop acting like it’ video
Women will turn into their man's mother without realizing it! Then he will run.

A lot of times when a woman has been in a relationship for a long time or is married, they start acting like a mother to the man without even realising it. To avoid that, do these things:
· Totally change everything – change how you dress, put more makeup on, wear heels.
· Act ten years younger.
· Don’t be concerned about the things you used to be concerned about.
· Let everything be free and fly.
· If you once worried about dishes in the sink don’t worry about it anymore.
· Change it up.
· If he realises that you stop caring and you just put all that extra energy that you were nagging and trying to organise and keep stuff right or that you were frustrated about – if you took all that extra energy and put it back into yourself – and you stopped worrying about the house and the domestic issues and him doing this, this and that. He’s going to think, ‘Well dang, everything is out of order, now she’s dressing like this and putting on makeup and looking this way, and the dishes aren’t clean anymore, or she’s not nagging me about picking up my clothes and the room is a mess’, then either he’ll get up and do it or he’ll start turning into your father.
· You mirror what they do and they’re gonna start seeing what you are doing by you have to act that way with them.
· You stop cleaning dishes, you start leaving your stuff on the floor.
· You start dressing cute, and say you’re going out.
· You forget to do stuff, or you stop helping out because you don’t want to damage your nails or the Real Housewives is on.
· Start doing the same thing to him – he watches sport, you say, ‘Oh Housewives is on, I wanna watch it. I don’t wanna watch it later.’
· You don’t do any of this like it’s revenge, just like you joined him in not being responsible, or joined him with more relaxed rules.
· He might like it. He might be like ‘you’re so laid back, you look happy today’.
· Then he might start cleaning up more because it’s not an order.
· But as long as you’re happy and not nagging him, he’s going to do it voluntarily.

How you act and how you make him feel will give you more power to get what you want.

· Look good
· Be more feminine
· Speak softly
· Smile
· Laugh at whatever he is saying and make him feel good about who he is
· Let him talk more than you
· Feed his ego
· Act vulnerable and he will want to do things for you, will want to please and impress you

(I added:
· Ladylike, dainty, girlish, delicate, compassionate, considerate, sympathetic, tolerant, warm-hearted, gracious
· Calm, refined and tasteful
· Agreeable, friendly, good-natured,
· Kind, moral, pleasant, delightful)

That’s how you get what you want.

Our power is in our femininity, not in our masculinity, not in being in competition with a man, but making them weak because we are giving them exactly what no-one else does and so they’re not used to it and they yield to it and want more of it and they’re going to do what you want.

Being feminine is the key to getting what you want. There is no magic formula; it’s just ‘being feminine’. Work on that and you will get what you want. Work on your baby voice. Work on asking men for things and help, feeling vulnerable around them and stroking their ego and you can pretty much get what you want, especially if you choose the right target. Don’t go up and choose someone who has a thousand options, go up and choose someone who feels lucky to be with you and who will act accordingly.

~~

Men don’t like jealous women. You look insecure if you show jealousy. If you feel jealous, act like you don’t care – laugh it off.

~~

Men don’t like to be told what to do or have someone running their life. They don’t need you to offer them suggestions – this will just make them feel like a child, emasculated and they will rebel.

~~

Have a hobby and have a life.
Have your own life.
Make yourself number one.

Make sure he likes you more than you like him. If he really likes you he is going to chase you and not let you go, and you don’t even have to do anything to make this happen.

~~

I am not a people pleaser. I live for myself not others. And that’s how you have to be to be unbothered. Be unbothered always and you will live your best life.

~~

I live in a fantasy world every day. That’s why I can create the world that I want.

~~

A dream woman is motivation for a man in every way. If you no longer motivate him, you are no longer his dream woman.

~~

A good actress will melt into her role.

~~

Instead of waiting and having regret later, make the decision now to do what’s best for you, not what’s best for the outside world and what they think. Do what’s best for you in the long run, not what’s best for you right now in this one moment which will pass. Think ahead. Right now is gone. As soon as you think about it, it’s gone.

~~

To be a dream woman and to be worshipped by the man you are with, you have to stay focused on you. Don’t be about him. A man’s dream woman does not mean she is all over him. She has a life. Keep a healthy distance instead of being extra clingy. That way you stay on his level. Make sure you appeal to his friends (in a classy way) too. He will see that others appreciate you and know that he has the prize.

~~

“Put outfits together in your mind when negative people are talking.”

How to be unbothered?

Comments:

‘Fake it till you make it. That’s what happened with me I started to pretend that it didn’t bother me. Now I’m literally so unbothered and focused on myself.’

‘When you are showing that you’re upset or bothered, you are giving them power to know they affected you. I love everyone but I do not argue. I have trained myself not to get emotional even at my husband or family. Being this way also makes you more respected, it’s part of your charisma.’

‘Being unbothered is a choice.’

~~

Comment:

If you're over 35 the best ways to look young is to drink a gallon of water a day....it's good for wrinkles..and helps your makeup glide on like butter.

Eat less and eat as much green as you can (Kale, Broccoli, Spinach) so you can be as slim as possible so that you feel good in your clothes....

Work out to increase your confidence...

Dress your age....nothing worse than a woman who dresses out of her age range...makes you look like you're trying too hard...

~~

Build confidence by not accepting that you have low self-esteem. Every day improve yourself so your self-esteem gets higher and higher. Don’t wallow in it, don’t accept it. Every day tell yourself what you want:

I look good
I feel good
I’m great

Tell yourself that. Give other people compliments, and they will give you compliments. Before you know it, you’ll have high self-esteem. You have to work on it, it doesn’t come automatically. It took a long time to tear down your self-esteem, and it takes a moment to pull it back up.

Just work on it, keep moving forward. Don’t let anyone put you down again.

~~

How to keep your husband interested

· Less communication
· Less giving of information
· Spend more time apart
· Don’t get so close that he is going to want to back up
· You have to get close then back up, get close then back up again
· Look your best at all times
· Don’t smother people and they won’t try to escape you
· Have a life
· Have things to do
· Have a to-do list that does not require that person

Go out and do things. He will appreciate you more when you get back. He will wonder what you’ve been doing. He will anticipate your return.

Don’t let him conquer you. When men have conquered a woman, they will move on. If he doesn’t feel like he can ever conquer you, he will try harder. Never let him feel like he totally has you.

~~

Masculine people (men or women) tend to run to the rescue of others.

~~

Shera, on uplevelling your looks and being your best every time you step out the front door: Don’t let life pass you by. Life is short. Life is very short.

Comment on Shera’s video: My mom went through a season where she dressed up and it just made our whole family and home come alive. I remember when my mom walked into the living room all fixed up and my little cousin's eyes just lit up. He said be careful don't touch her lol. He literally went from seeing her as a plain ol’ aunt to a princess. He was so young, but he couldn't fake it; that was his instincts.

~~
· It’s not about looking young, it’s about looking good.
· If you miss an opportunity to be levelling up, you are only cheating yourself.
· Stay ready.
· Every day do something to improve yourself - hair, exercise, mindset, self-esteem
· Enjoy getting ready – be creative
· If you’re wearing makeup, go bold. Men want to see the makeup.
· Men like it when you look your best. When you’re out in public, people are judging a man’s status by the type of wife he has, how she looks. You add status to any man that you are with.
· If you are attractive, you will have a lot of friends inviting you out. They will use you to attract attention because you look good. They are going to gravitate towards you and associate you with success. Your appearance will get you further than almost anything else.

~~

When you’re trying to lure a man in, dress for that man. Men do pay attention to what you look like.

Broke men pay attention to your silhouette. They look at your body because they just want to have sex with you.

Men with money pay attention to what you wear: your clothes, your shoes, your jewellery, your shoes, your hair, everything. Are you appropriate? If he wants to take it to the next level and take you out and get to know you, start a relationship, introduce you to his friends, he isn’t just looking at your body.

~~

The better you look, the more successful he looks.

~~

Men are visual creatures. Everything men do is based on that they see. How they treat you is based on what they see.

If you go without makeup, hair not done, and dressed badly, you won’t get the same treatment even by the people who see you every day. When you look good, the people around you have a little bit more respect for you. They see you looking pulled together and to see you any other way is foreign to them.

When you are levelled up, keep this in mind, don’t backslide. When a man meets you looking good, he wants to see you like that for your entire marriage. He doesn’t want you to let yourself go.

Try hard to keep yourself up during your marriage; how you looked when you met him is how he wants to see you forever more.

Men are very visual creatures, so when they see us looking bad, it upsets them. It literally makes them clench inside a little bit because they are so affected by the visual.

You are like a Christmas tree or a beautiful ornament. It’s a pleasure to look at you and they’ll want to be around you just for that.

People may treat you badly because you didn’t keep up your looks - a man could be speaking to another woman or ignoring you.

~~

“Just act and dress like a feminine lady. You’re making them feel younger by being in their presence. Watch 1950s Hollywood movie stars to watch how those ladies acted.”

Never help a man level up as they will always put you in a maternal role and look at you as a mother figure.

How to change your mindset:
1. Tell yourself that you are no longer allowing people to make you feel bad about something – that’s your choice.
2. Decide that you want to be better, and each day take action towards being better. Your self-esteem will rise from this.
3. Surround yourself with like-minded people so you can influence and help each other.

~~

People who talk less are generally more well respected.

~~

“Look for the positive in every negative comment or situation, and you will find it every time.

Whatever your weakness is, make it your strength, to fuel you to the next level. That’s how you really level up from inside. Face your weakness head on. If someone calls you fat, flaunt it. Say, ‘So what? Yes, I eat, I haven’t seen a rib in many decades, but I’m happy. I got a lovely husband, nice house, nice car.’

Instead of being a victim about it, empower yourself with it. Your flaw can be your power. It can be your power if you take it and embrace it and stop focusing on it as an insecurity. The more you focus on something as an insecurity, the more other people will focus on it because they know it’s your weakness and that’s how you get affected. Whatever your flaw is, turn it into something that can give you more than it can take from you. If people say it’s a flaw, take it and turn it into a power.”

~~

Don’t listen to what people say; what do you think? Opposition creates interest.

~~

· Be extra feminine in the way you dress, speak, act.
· Be charming - smile, don't argue (and then do exactly what you were going to do anyway).
· Ask for help from your man - opening a jar, lifting something, reaching up high, anything - they love it. Do this three times a day. Say things like 'It's too heavy for me'. Doing this makes them feel protective of you.
· When you are offered help, accept it.
· Talk to men in a feminine baby-voice.
· Practice being feminine and flirty every day to men everywhere so that it becomes second nature. Things such as asking a man for assistance at the supermarket and smiling and saying thank you in a feminine voice.
· Use your feminine charm on everyone around you.
· Look your best, put on makeup every day, smell good, be well groomed, have nice nails.
· Speak to him as if he's a person and not a child - don't try to control him. Mothers control their children and men don't want to have sex with their mother.
· Ask for what you want, but do it in a feminine way.
· Act like the prize to be the prize.
· Be unpredictable - men will get bored of you if you are too predictable. If you are unpredictable it is exciting to them plus scares them a little too. They will wonder why you are different.
· Don't talk so much.
· Mirror how he acts to bring him closer. Say your man is a bit distant; my natural inclination is to wonder what is wrong, try and talk to him etc. That is clingy, a better way to behave is mirror that - be busy doing your own things, happy but busy and let him come looking for you when he comes out of his cave.
· Be feminine in everything you do - surround yourself with reminders of your femininity - i.e. a pink phone cover.
· Be the receiver not the giver.
· Let him think up ideas, with your subtle input.
· Hardly ever text or call him at work, unless you need him to pick up something.
· Dress up every day for no reason.
· Smile.
· Always be levelling up.
· Have a plan B.
· Don't tell him your plans for the day or where you have been - be a little mysterious and let him wonder what you've been up to.
· Keep the mystery alive with privacy - closet, bathroom etc.
· Don't do everything together.
· Have hobbies and interests of your own.
· Make him feel like a man by asking his advice, seeking help from him, not trying to tell him what to do etc.
· Keep up with new trends and the latest styles. Try new looks, buy new clothes, look cute.
· Make him feel younger by being fresh, new and exciting.
· Be excited by life and easily impressed.
· Go on vacation, go out to places.
· Do new things and turn him on to new things. Do new things in bed.
· Change your looks - look different, be different.
· Listen to the latest music.
· Keep up with the latest trends in things.
· Be an exciting adventure.
· Be happy go lucky, not a care in the world, everything is fun.
· Head up, chin up, look around, smile.
· Get all excited when you talk about little things.
· Light up when you talk to people.
· Bring a high energy.
· Wear your hair long and straight or smooth-wavy.
· Be seasonal - with your look/outfit, eating, décor.
· Reinvent yourself regularly.
· Play different characters for fun.
· Channel someone else when you go out.
· Be constantly changing and improving.
· Be a lively woman - bubbly, happy, exciting, smiling, lifts their spirits, fun to be around.
· Grab his hand and pull him along like a child.
· Be energetic and breathe life into others.
· Mirror his body language about 10-30 seconds later.
· Try new things, new looks.
· Practice your charm on waiters etc.
· Be a people watcher in different environments depending on the lifestyle you desire.
· Look from the outside in - how do people view you? How attractive are you?
· Transform yourself.
· Be his ultimate fantasy girl.
· Look good, do your makeup every day.
· Speak to your him as if he is a person and not a child.
· ‘Can you help me/lift that/get me a blanket?’ in a baby voice. Get him used to looking after you. ‘This is too heavy for me, I can’t reach it’. Do this three times a day minimum.
· Ask for what you want in a feminine way.
· Use the baby voice.
· Be extra feminine.
· Be charming – smile, don’t argue – agree (but do exactly what you want anyway).
· Ask for help from men.
· When you are offered anything, accept it.
· Talk to men in a feminine nature.
· Practice being feminine and flirty every do so that it becomes second nature to you – it will become easier with practice.
· Ask questions and smile.
· Play a bit dumb (not stupid; request their knowledge).
· Use your feminine charm on everyone around you – practice on any man to get better.
· Never get too comfortable (don’t let yourself go).
· Keep the illusion going – makeup, hair, lotion, fragrance.
· Look like you did when you first met (me: 66-67kg, long blonde hair, stylish clothes).
· Men are visual creatures and your hair is foremost – long, silky and straight.
· Have your makeup on, look cute.
· Shera’s husband treated her differently when she gained weight and then lost weight.
· Shera’s advice to a lady who gained 40 pounds and now her husband isn’t attracted to her: ‘Lose 40 pounds’.
· Still look sexy even if you’ve been together a while.
· Exfoliate your face and body.
· Have glowing, moisturised skin.
· Use highlighter on your face.
· Wear perfume, body lotion, nicely scented products.
· Wear red lipstick, eye makeup.
· Wear light, modern perfumes.
· Have simple, nice nails.
· Tell him that whatever you want is your ‘ultimate fantasy’.

If you want to be married to a rich man, dress like a rich man’s wife.

Be unbothered

It’s so amazing to just not care. You have no idea how much better your life gets when you stop caring. When you stop caring about stuff that’s not beneficial to you, everything blossoms, everything. Because your attention is no longer on anything negative, it’s all on you, and so you blossom.

How to keep your man chasing you? Be busy, don’t call him all the time. Have a hobby or a business and let him have to go looking for you.

~~

Did you ever feel insecure about your weight?

“No.

At any weight my mental game was tight, it was good. I could get anything I wanted, so it never really held me back. The only thing that would ever make me feel insecure about anything is… I really don’t have a lot of insecurities anymore. I had the normal insecurities of a child. But when I grew up and I understood that you could take your power from any situation, you no longer have insecurities.

If I was insecure about my weight, I wouldn’t be up here on YouTube, and if someone says something about how I look, I don’t care. I say Okay yeah and so what? I’m eating good, I’m living good. It doesn’t bother me, because that’s not what defines me. I’m gonna get paid skinny or fat. I’m gonna be happy at whatever makes me feel happiest. So it’s all about how you feel about yourself and how you value yourself. You don’t base your self-worth on what other people think about you.

And the reason why I teach people you gotta look good if you want to turn heads and make men cross the room is because if you are trying to get a date, yes, you have to be concerned with what other people find attractive. But that should not ever play a role in your own personal self-esteem.

Whatever you need to feel good at the time, tomorrow or today, that’s what you need to be doing.”

Hello! I am setting up my first Little Free Library this afternoon! Very exciting!
I would like to print out a QR code so that visitors can scan it and get to the guest book / comment pages for my library, but I can't figure out what URL to encode in the QR code. For those of you have done something similar, what URL did you use?
Thank you!

We decided to rent Santander bikes in Shoreditch Park. While we were busy at the terminal, a teenager was constantly walking behind us and trying to look as casual as possible. Just in case, I stared at him so that he wouldn’t try to come closer, although I didn’t really understand what he wanted. As soon as we paid for the bikes and received a piece of paper with the code, he rushed to the bikes and began trying to enter different combinations. Since we had one code for two bikes, I was afraid that he would be able to take the bike before us by spying on one of us or listening to the sounds of the keys (I don’t know if they are different for each number?).
We have not been living in London for very long and it is very unusual to think that, apparently, he tried to steal a bicycle, for which TFL would then withdraw money from our card. 😳 I wonder if this is a common occurrence in London? What is the best thing to do in such a situation?

FAQ

I live in Cuba/Canada/Haiti/USA, why are you posting on a Saturday?!
Because I'm writing this from Europe in the future where it's already Sunday. Timezones be crazy.
Why are there a bunch of non-board games in the board game list?
Because the Tabletop games category on Kickstarter includes anything remotely related to board games and sometimes things slip through my filters.
Why is this future award winning board game and literal saviour of humanity missing from your list?
Sometimes my filters get a bit overzealous and discard actually valid projects. If you feel something is missing for this reason, leave a comment and I'll add it (maybe).
Can I donate all my money to you?
No
Can you help me promote my game?
Please no. I make lists. Nothing more.
Your list is full of errors and now the great old ones have awaken!
Indeed, this fine piece of code runs purely on faith, trust and pixie dust, so anything can happen. Leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

Here is my experience getting an aqua peel treatment at Peum Global Clinic in Gangnam:
So Peum is definitely the most factory style but I think it's fine for less invasive treatments. I booked my appointment the same day as the other clinic I had an appointment for did not have any specials on aqua peels. I accidentally went to the wrong clinic so was super late to my appointment but was called pretty quickly for a consultation.
Consultation: During the consultation a translator take you the consultation area where a consultant asks you what problems you're concerned about and then recommended some treatments. I was wary of Peum due to past reviews of it being very factory style so I was very sure I just wanted an aqua peel. They weren't pushy with the other treatments and didn't seem to have a problem with me getting just a aqua peel. That might also be because they know it was my 2nd day in Seoul and I didn't want to look red for the rest of my trip so it wasn't practical for me to get anything invasive anyways.
Billing: There's another area for billing they took me to to pay for the treatment. They didn't cut the tax until I reminded them but they do have kiosks for duty free tax in the clinic if you wanted to do it after. I recommend making them take it out during the billing, cause those machines generally will give you a refund to your desired card after you leave the country, and that seems a bit unreliable. It costed me $23.80 in total for the aqua peel. The price was actually $14(19,000 won) but with taxes and some other clinic fees it came out to be $23.80. They do add some random fees(don't remember what they are) so the prices are a bit misleading.
Treatment: You first go to the "cleansing zone" where you wash your face before the treatment and can put your stuff in the lockers. Then they take you to the treatment area which basically a line of cubicles. The person who does the treatment usually does not speak english but they call someone if you have any questions. They did a pretty thorough job with the aqua peel and ended the treatment with a moisturizing mask. The only annoying part was that they left the mask for over 20 mins and didn't really check in to see if I'm done.
Post Treatment/Results: I didn't really see a massive change in my skin. It did feel a bit smooth, hydrated and maybe a bit glowy. Also, an active pimple did calm down a bit but thats about it. Even after a week later, my face looked pretty much the same as before. However, I was left with a red mark on my nose for 2 days, most probably cause they used too much suction on my nose.
Conclusion: I spent a total of 1.5 hours in the clinic and I think for the price point and overall experience, its worth it if you want to try out an aqua peel as a facial or a clean up. However, I would rather invest that time in another more invasive treatment that gives better results like a chemical peel that costs just a bit more. But if you are looking for something not invasive and safe, an aqua peel is a great started. Also, Peum as a clinic I think is fine, it wasn't as shady or unprofessional as I expected it to be, but I did only get a aqua peel so can't speak for any other treatments.

Enhancing Google Sheets with Dynamic Email Features Using AppScript

Google Sheets has evolved beyond a mere spreadsheet tool, becoming a versatile platform for automating and streamlining various tasks, including email communication. The integration of AppScript, a powerful scripting language designed for Google's ecosystem, opens up possibilities for creating dynamic, automated email systems directly within Google Sheets. This capability allows users to send personalized email notifications, updates, or reminders based on the data stored in their sheets. By leveraging AppScript, individuals and organizations can significantly improve their workflow efficiency, ensuring that important information is communicated promptly and accurately.
The process of setting up a dynamic email reference involves scripting within the Google Sheets environment, utilizing AppScript to fetch data from cells and use it to populate email content. This approach not only automates the email sending process but also tailors the message according to specific criteria or triggers defined by the user. Whether it's sending out mass emails for a marketing campaign, dispatching personalized client updates, or automating internal notifications, the flexibility and power of AppScript with Google Sheets offer a scalable solution to meet diverse email communication needs.

Command	Description
MailApp.sendEmail()	Sends an email from the script
SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet()	Gets the current active spreadsheet
getSheetByName()	Accesses a specific sheet within the spreadsheet by name
getRange()	Gets the range of cells specified in the sheet
getValues()	Retrieves the values from the specified range

Exploring Dynamic Email Automation with Google Sheets and AppScript

Google Sheets and AppScript together provide a powerful combination for automating various tasks, including the dynamic sending of emails based on spreadsheet data. This functionality is particularly useful for businesses and organizations that require regular communication with clients, employees, or members based on updated spreadsheet information. For example, a marketing team can automate the sending of personalized promotional emails to a list of subscribers directly from a Google Sheet containing subscriber information and email content. Similarly, HR departments can utilize this setup to send out automated updates or notifications to employees. The beauty of using Google Sheets for these tasks lies in its accessibility and ease of use, allowing for real-time updates to email lists and content without the need for complex database software.
The technical aspect of setting up such an email automation system involves writing custom scripts using Google AppScript, a Javascript-based language that interacts with Google Apps. This script can be tailored to trigger emails when certain conditions are met, such as the addition of a new row with a subscriber's information or updates to existing rows. The script reads the specified range in the Google Sheet, extracts the necessary data (such as email addresses and message content), and uses the MailApp service to send out the emails. This approach not only streamlines the process of sending out large volumes of personalized emails but also introduces a level of customization and flexibility that traditional email marketing tools may lack. By integrating Google Sheets with AppScript, users can create a highly efficient, automated email system that can adapt to various needs and scenarios.

Automating Email Notifications with Google Sheets and AppScript

Google AppScript Code Example

const sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Emails"); const range = sheet.getRange("A2:B"); const data = range.getValues(); data.forEach(function(row) { MailApp.sendEmail(row[0], "Your Subject Here", row[1]); }); 

Exploring Dynamic Email Automation with Google Sheets and AppScript

At the core of automating email communications through Google Sheets lies the powerful Google AppScript, a scripting platform that allows for the creation of custom functions and automation within the Google Workspace environment. This integration enables users to transform their spreadsheets into dynamic tools capable of sending personalized, data-driven emails automatically. By utilizing AppScript, users can effectively harness the data within their Google Sheets to initiate email campaigns, send out timely notifications, or even distribute personalized messages to a targeted audience based on specific conditions or triggers identified within their spreadsheet data.
The practical applications of this are vast, ranging from businesses that need to automate customer communications, educators sending course updates to students, to event organizers distributing tailored information to attendees. The process involves writing a script that interacts with both the spreadsheet data and the email service, dynamically generating and sending emails based on the content of the spreadsheet. This not only saves time but also introduces a level of personalization and efficiency that manual processes cannot match. The ability to automate these processes within Google Sheets using AppScript significantly enhances productivity, allowing users to focus on more strategic tasks while the system manages routine communications.

5. Question: Is it possible to schedule email sending with AppScript?
6. Answer: Yes, by using AppScript's time-driven triggers, you can schedule your scripts to run at specific intervals, thereby automating the email sending process based on your preferred schedule.

Hi, I‘m reaching one year of the Amex Nectar and I was wondering if anyone with the same card was offered a retention bonus?
I‘m likely to apply for the Amex Gold sometime this year as next card - perhaps keeping the Nectar on the side. Was wondering what the Amex experts think about this? Decision on Gold mainly due to first year being free and the travel insurance and lounge access. Also prefer that you can spend points on gift cards to Amazon etc which you can‘t with the Nectar.
Thanks for the help in advance! :)

All these models are like those people who can read but cannot write . Those who can write a paragraph of cohesion but don’t have the capacity to write a chapter. Sure , humans make mistakes too but they test it themselves , find the error then eventually solve it instead of going in an infinite loop of wrong answers. After a year of gpt 4 and other models I don’t believe , just like true full self driving , not the ones that work in perfectly lined streets but won’t work in Indian or Thailand streets , we will ever have generative ai which can replace a human , not even close . I think we are about to enter another ai winter

I created a hot wallet using the Kaspium mobile wallet and noted the seed phrase. Using the Ian Coleman BIP39 Mnemonic Code Generator, I entered the same seed phrase there, but the addresses generated were different from the ones generated by the Kaspium wallet.
BIP39 addresses start with bc1, while Kaspium addresses start with qz80. Despite using the same seed phrase, the addresses are different.

I have reviewed the Terms of Service on anthropic website, specifically Section 4 regarding intellectual property rights over prompts and outputs. Based on my conversation with Claude AI assistant, it mentioned that a license is required for any commercial use of the AI-generated outputs. The Terms state that prompts submitted by users remain their property, while Anthropic assigns rights in outputs to the user "subject to compliance with the Terms."
If commercial usage rights for the AI-generated content are required are they included under:

1. The free/basic tier
2. Any of the paid subscription tiers

For context, my anticipated use cases include:

• Writing short stories, scripts, and dialogues to create video content for monetization on YouTube and other platforms.
• Generating lyrics, jingles, and musical compositions for distribution through music streaming services like Spotify.
• Developing a long-form web series with AI assistance in writing episodes, character dialogues, and plot outlines.
• Creating educational language learning content like dialogues, role-plays, and sample conversations powered by Claude responses.

I intend to publish and monetise these final content products across social media, video platforms, music services, and other commercial distribution channels.
