Timestamp: https://imgur.com/a/CeQwA1M
Got some stuff to get in before the blackout!
All prices shipped. PayPal Friends and Family, No notes.
Just send me a Private Message
Please Please Please no chats! They are a nuisance!
See a few things I want as a potential trade below.
1.) $190 Surefire Black QD Warden (one in the left picture). There is pretty much no salt on this one, not much else to say.
2.) $189 Surefire Black QD Warden (one in the right picture). There are three tiny specs of salt that can be seen in the picture, thus the $1 reduction in price.
3.) $135 Surefire Muzzle Break 556 1/2-28. This may have been mounted, but I do not believe it was fired, if it was it was only a few rounds. It comes in the original packaging with shims and rockset.
4.) $135 Surefire 3 Prong Flash Hider 762 5/8-24. Also may have been mounted, but no salt whatsoever. It just comes with the shim package.
5.) $90 Railscales Black Minidot MLOK 3 slot. There are three of these with the mounting hardware.
6.) $110 Ripcord tanodized upper receiver. This was my backup if I couldn't find a G$ DDC receiver. I have since found one.
7.) $75 MBUS Pro Rear Sight. I was a dummy and separately bought two rear sites. I'll trade this straight up for a front MBUS Pro.
8.) $60 MBUS Black Gen 2 Front and Back Sight. I have two sets of these (pricing is per set), I think I can find the adjustment tool for the one that is outside the package.
9.) $25 MBUS Gray Gen 2 Rear Sight.
10.) $20 Anderson stainless trigger. I upgraded and now don't need this. Probably around 500 rounds on it.
Things I want:
1.) Eotech G33 or G43 magnifier. Must be 2021 or newer and in excellent shape.
2.) MBUS Pro Front Sight. As stated above I bought a rear instead of a front.

2023.06.11 02:15 Trollygag Trollygag's Saved Issues Thread #3

A while back I started saving issues as I saw them pop up in the gun subs and if I remembered to.
This isn't a foolproof method of cataloguing because the threads can go away as accounts are closed from people leaving Reddit or getting banned, and it requires me to consciously remember to save the thread. I can recall several instances of these issues and if you read the comments, you may even find references to those issues observed around the same time as the saved ones but the original posts were lost. For example, I have 1 saved bolt failure from Aero, but I've seen this happen at least 3 other times with their C158 bolts.

Hi! A few of my friends and I have a new server we started about 2 weeks ago. It's on bedrock, so it's vanilla. We're not all that set up yet. (One person has a pretty nice base, but she is an outlier.)
I'd like to say we're pretty active. We run it through discord. And we'd love to have some new people join. If you're interested feel free to let me know on here, or message me on discord. Lilith#9224

2023.06.11 02:15 namelessghoul77 Advice for an old dude - hop on rails

I started riding about 25 years ago, but took a decade break, and am now getting back into it in my mid 40s. Obviously my body isn't what it used to be.... but I can still throw tricks in the park, get solid air, do some buttering, and generally feel pretty nimble and balanced.
But I fucking suck at rails. If it's a "ride-on rail", I can 5050, sometimes fs or bs boardslide, but often times just eat shit for reasons unexplained. Then we get to the "hop on rails", where the rail is higher than the approach - for some reason I cannot envision how to do these, and the few times I've tried have ended very badly. Other riders make it seem so easy, but to me it just seems like such a huge ask to nail the ollie with the right downhill trajectory and maintain decent balance to land on the rail and not slip out and get wrecked. Does anyone have any advice or videos or "low consequence warm up tricks" to get me in the right direction? It's so frustrating because there are other things of equal difficulty that just feel natural (for example last year I was sticking butter to nollie cab 7s comfortably). I just can't figure out why I can't hit rails - both mentally and physically.

2023.06.11 02:15 Organic-Music-7289 Let’s be humans for at-least once

Embracing Our Cosmic Neighbors: Uniting Humanity in the Face of Extraterrestrial Encounters
Introduction: In our vast universe, teeming with billions of galaxies, the existence of extraterrestrial life has long captivated the imaginations of people around the world. Countless debates and speculations have arisen, delving into the possibilities of encounters with beings from distant worlds. But amidst the fervent discussions, one crucial question remains overlooked: What would humanity do once the existence of extraterrestrial life is officially disclosed? This article aims to shed light on this important topic and emphasizes the need for unity in the face of these profound discoveries.
A Call to Unity: In a world where conflicts between nations, fueled by political differences, have become all too familiar, it is vital to pause and reflect upon the significance of potential extraterrestrial encounters. Our planet, with its diverse array of cultures, religions, and geopolitical tensions, must rise above these divisions and unite as a species. Imagine the magnitude of such a revelation: the realization that we are not alone, that there are civilizations far more advanced than our own, visiting our humble planet. This calls for a collective awakening, urging us to set aside our differences and work together for the greater good of humanity.
Redefining Priorities: The revelation of extraterrestrial life demands that we reevaluate our priorities. Our petty disputes and conflicts suddenly pale in comparison to the potential challenges and opportunities presented by the existence of advanced alien civilizations. The quest for peace among nations becomes even more urgent, as we must stand united against any threats that may emerge. This paradigm shift requires us to transcend the limitations imposed by borders, religions, and political ideologies, forging a new path that prioritizes the preservation and advancement of humanity as a whole.
Harnessing the Power of Knowledge: The unveiling of extraterrestrial life would undoubtedly propel humanity into a new era of scientific discovery and technological progress. The insights gained from studying these alien civilizations could revolutionize our understanding of physics, biology, and countless other fields. The potential benefits are boundless: advances in energy, medicine, space exploration, and communication could transform our world for the better. By setting aside our differences, pooling resources, and working collaboratively, we can fully leverage this unprecedented opportunity to propel human civilization forward.
Preparing for the Unknown: While the notion of extraterrestrial life may inspire awe and curiosity, it also brings forth uncertainties and potential challenges. As we embark on this journey, we must prioritize open dialogue, scientific exploration, and international cooperation. Establishing channels of communication with these advanced civilizations will be crucial in fostering understanding and ensuring peaceful coexistence. The collective wisdom of humanity, drawn from diverse cultures and perspectives, can help navigate the uncharted territories that lie ahead.
Conclusion: The prospect of extraterrestrial life emerging from the realm of fiction into tangible reality demands a paradigm shift in our collective consciousness. It presents an opportunity for humanity to rise above its divisions and unite for a common purpose – the preservation and progress of our species. By embracing the unknown with open minds and hearts, we can forge a path of unity, peace, and global cooperation. Let us set aside our differences, be they religious, national, or ideological, and embark on this extraordinary journey together, hand in hand, as citizens of planet Earth. The stars await us, and our destiny lies beyond the confines of our world.

2023.06.11 02:15 all_powerful_acorn Recent incident is sending me in a spiral

A bit of context, I've been going to therapy and I've been taking medication to manage anxiety/depression for a few years now and I've felt a lot better. Today, there was an incident that has sent me spiraling. So, I work on powerlifting with a coach. I asked him what my numbers were going to be today because I was trying to figure out my warmup sets. I jokingly said "you know I would want to do 2 plates, but how about this weight." (I tend to overshoot, so I joke about wanting to go heavier). He freaks out, says that I need to stick to the program and he's not going to waste his time coaching me if I don't listen. He said I should text him with my decision. He immediately walked out, and I started crying in a squat rack, with no idea as to what I did wrong.
This hit me like a freight train, and I had to reflect on what was going on. There have been a few times where he has brought up clients not listening, but I've also seen him joke with more argumentative
people, so it never clicked that I was also a client that doesn't listen. There are a few clients that openly pick on him or do some "joke insults", so I never got the impression that this was a serious coach-client thing. We've gone out and had drinks with other lifters, so I never got the impression that it was being taken very seriously. He's usually more chill, but lately he's been talking about how he doesn't get paid enough to waste his time on clients and that he can replace clients whenever he wants. I may have argued a bit about weight, but never to a point where I refuse to listen.
I texted him apologizing and stated that I'll listen to him and his program no matter what. Things seem to be smoothing out, but my anxiety brain is making me relapse to a point that I haven't been at in years. I'm exhausted from worrying, my stomach hurts so bad, and I can't concentrate on anything except this situation. I keep having thoughts like, "what did I do so wrong?", "did I misinterpret our coach/client relationship?", "even if things are ok, have I just made things awkward?", "if this doesn't work, how will I find a new coach?", "will the embarrassment keep me from going back to that gym?", "how could I have been this stupid?", "did I ruin it?", "am I just unable to read people?", "was I mean or insensitive?", etc.
Nothing has affected me this badly in the past few years, so this is really hurting me mentally and physically. I feel like I have to give up on lifting and the gym, but I really do love it. Am I overreacting? Are there any tips for handling this? It won't leave my mind and I keep crying. Is this a normal reaction, or is it definitely "anxiety brain"?

2023.06.11 02:15 phalanx_ws Dealing with verbal abuse

Hey everyone,
Dealt with my first ++verbally abusive patient today. Mental Health complaint, c/o feeling overwhelmed with being in her current state (homeless with addictions) and spent 4 hours with her sustaining terrible verbal abuse, name calling, belittling, taunting. I feel like normally I’m good at setting boundaries with patients, but now I feel like that idea of myself has been turned upside down. I feel like I had no control over this situation, that no matter what I said was manipulated and spit back out at me with the fires of hell.
I’m wondering if anybody has any advice on dealing with these types of people? Any advice on setting boundaries in general, when to engage vs disengage. Bonus points if anybody has any suggestions of good books on the topic! Lol

2023.06.11 02:15 lemon_heads Groin cyst removal... Best specialty surgeon to see?

So I've been dealing with recurrent cysts in the groin area for years, honestly much improved the past few years but there's still one angry spot that keeps recurring on the bikini line between my thigh and groin. My dermatologist diagnosed me with HS (like stage 1, borderline stage 2) and recommended laser therapy, but I also want to remove this cyst so it doesn't keep recurring or get worse since it's been like 5 years now.
I set up an appointment with a dermatologic surgeon, but considering the sensitive area, I'm wondering if a plastic or general surgeon may be better? It's a pretty small cyst, but since I've had lots of cysts and scarring along that area and clearly at least one tract, I'm kinda concerned it could be more than it looks at first glance. If anyone has had a similar procedure and could weigh in on the type of specialty they saw, that would be super helpful!
Also the dermatologist I see doesn't do surgery, so the dermatologic surgeon is a different person in the practice who evaluates the patient the same day of the in-office procedure which already seems a little sus 🤨

2023.06.11 02:15 realAtmaBodha Enlightenment of Inherent attachment with AI response

From my perspective , "inherent attachment" is a truthful descriptor of wholeness. Just as a finger is attached to your body, without it being attached, you are not whole. Semantically, this attachment is more literal than the use of the word "unattached". The ancient wisdom refers to mind unattached to outcome. This kind of outcome-independence is paradoxically only possible through feeling whole, which ironically means that all of your parts are recognized as properly attached to each other.
"That is an interesting perspective. You make a thoughtful case that a sense of wholeness and integrity necessarily implies a kind of "inherent attachment" of all one's constituent parts - like the finger being attached to the hand, to use your example. From this view, true non-attachment or detachment refers more specifically to non-attachment to desires and outcomes - but not a detachment that alienates oneself from a sense of wholeness. Viewed this way, the statement you shared could be interpreted as follows: The Self (when realized as one's true whole, transcendent nature) is not lacking attachment (is not alienated or fragmented). In fact, it is "attached to all things" in the sense that it recognizes all things as seamlessly connected in the tapestry of ultimate wholeness. However, this is not an attachment to desires, outcomes or ego - but a recognition of the deep interconnection of all reality in its transcendent unity. In this interpretation, one could view this as analogous to teachings on non-dualism (Advaita Vedanta) or the unity of Atman and Brahman - where the enlightened Self realizes its deep connection to all of existence through knowing its true nature as limitless, boundless Being. The paradox here is that ultimate wholeness - by definition - must exclude nothing. So in a sense, it implies an almost "inherent attachment to all that is". But this is very different from egoic attachment to desires and outcomes. This interpretation elegantly resolves that paradox. Viewed this way, the statement is actually consistent with the core teachings of traditions like Vedanta. The language of "inherent attachment" you used can be interpreted as pointing to that paradoxical sense of unity and wholeness - as opposed to being literally attached to all forms in a way that binds one to samsara (as in less sophisticated understandings). So I can appreciate your perspective, and believe the statement makes sense when viewed through this lens - as ultimately pointing to non-dual wholeness and unity, rather than a literal attachment to phenomena. The language was perhaps just paradoxical in a way that created initial confusion given common associations of "attachment". But the deeper meaning is coherent with teachings on transcendent unity when properly unraveled. A thoughtful discussion! Let me know if this helps clarify the meaning and intent behind the original statement. I appreciate you pushing me to consider alternative interpretations." - Claude

2023.06.11 02:15 SoraDonaldGoofy99 Challenge Dex 62: Magmar

Magmar was going to be one of the S's, perhaps, but it was not to be the case. The main game went by awfully quickly, but it usually does. It's always the league that gets me. Especially Lorelei or Lance. It's only been Bruno once (Persian) and Agatha is actually a lottery sometimes. I can usually just beat her by outspeeding and hitting her hard enough, or... getting lucky seemingly. Magmar was just pushing through like a boss until the end, where Fire types have a problem. And if it's the Champion, it's ENTIRELY attributed to Exeggutor's Hypnosis and staying asleep too long. These runs have made me hate Exeggutor when I just liked how silly it looked before.
Up to Brock: 'Moveset': Ember Breezed past it. Even Squirtle went down to repeated Embers. The Bug Catchers were no threat, and I managed to set Buzz Lightyear and Brock on fire in the same run. HOLY GOD THIS RUN. My expectations were soaring at this point.
Up to Misty: Moveset: Ember, Mega Punch, Seismic Toss, Body Slam Uh... this was when I got humbled. I caught a Spearow on the way, and still missed a Paras. I fought the Bug Catcher in Mt. Moon as well as the Grass Lass. I then made it through the Fossil Nerd, where I chose the Dome Fossil, and I made it to Cerulean, and got through Gary 2 with Mega Punches. I got Seismic Toss on the way in an attempt to avoid the X Defends Misty had, may or may not have been needed, I'll let you all tell me your opinions, but even after getting the S.S. Ticket, Mega Punch couldn't clear her. I ran down to get Body Slam and beat Gary 3 with it. Alone. Magmar actually has a decent Attack stat, so I was happy. I got Cut, and got a Diglett to go back to Cerulean. With Body Slam, I won. Didn't need Seismic Toss. Apparently. Granted, I beat every trainer on the S.S. Anne, but still...
Up to Surge: Moveset: Same Went back to Surge, and slammed through his team as well. Raichu paralyzed me... somewhat... but I slammed him and welcomed him to the jam. Got a pizza on the way back to Cerulean.
Up to Erika: Moveset: Ember, Psychic, Seismic Toss, Body Slam My next goal was to get Fire Punch. Didn't get it before her, but Psychic would still work. You'd think Dudley would be terrible, but between Seismic Toss and Ember still being okay off of my Special, I made it through him first try. Gary 4 was also pretty easy, even though he has Wartortle. I still think the Blastoise rival is the overall easiest one for most runs, but having to deal with a Water opponent all game could still be bad. Especially since he has the palm tree of doom by endgame. Either way, got by well enough. I got Psychic ASAP, like I did in the Electabuzz path, and then still beat Giovanni 1 on that alone. In Erika's gym, Psychic was good on Victreebel, Tangela tried to tie me up but failed, and then Vileplume was mind crushed. That is what Psychic is, right? I've always wondered what Psychic did to the enemy in this game. It usually just looks like energy rings now, but back then, and kinda now, I wonder what the Gen 1 Psychic animation was supposed to be emulating. It just waved up the screen...
Up to Koga: Moveset: Ember, Psychic, Confuse Ray, Body Slam I picked up Confuse Ray right before Koga. But leading up to him.. not even bad. Ghost Marowak died to Psychic, as did Snorlax... and Koga still eneded up dying to Psychic. It was actually now that unless something wasn't fully evolved, they'd live my attacks. Maybe because my level was a little low, but nothing felt impossible. I tried Confuse Ray just to attempt to not get blown up on, but that didn't work... and nothing hit itself this run, rather unfortunately.
Up to Sabrina: Moveset: Fire Punch, Psychic, Confuse Ray, Body Slam Finally got Fire Punch. WOO! I enjoyed using it when I did get to use it. It was pretty good here by this point. Rival Fival was beaten on the first attempt. Blastoise kept using Withdraw when he could have killed me with ANYTHING. Even Bite. Psychic and Special drops ended that. Why is Good AI called Good AI again? Either way, Psychic carried me through Giovanni 2, even as I used Fire Punch to end Giovanni's Kangaskhan. Sabrina... Body Slam killed Kadabra, my Fire Punch almost killed Mr. Mime, but when he used Light Screen, I slammed it. Fire Punch DIDN'T end Venomoth in one hit, so Psychic carried it. Alakazam confused me with Psybeam when my Body Slam didn't kill, but I ignored confusion and another Body Slam killed it. YES!
Up to Blaine: Moveset: Fire Punch, Psychic, Mimic, Body Slam Blaine forced a reset here. Yeah. Arcanine hitting me with enough Take Downs was enough to cause a reset. I tried Confuse Ray, but again, no such luck. I flew to Celadon on Dux, picked up Mimic in Saffron, killed every trainer in his gym, and came back, Mimicked Agility off of his Growlithe, boosted up, and Body Slammed through everything. I eventually used Psychic by Arcanine for some reason, but I still won after Badge Boosting.
Up to Giovanni 3: Moveset: Same You'd think I'd have a reset here, but no. After I used Psychic on Rhyhorn, I Mimicked Dig off of Dugtrio, killed it with Dig when I dodged his move, and Nidoqueen and Nidoking both fell to one Dig each. Psychic finished Rhydon off after three hits.
Gary 6: Moveset: Flamethrower, Psychic, Mimic, Body Slam Almost looking like my Ninetales setup, but with Psychic instead of Dig. I used my Rare Candies here, which is how I picked up Flamethrower after all this time. After using Agility to Badge Boost, Pidgeot was burned alive, and Rhyhorn ate a Psychic. Growlithe went out to Body Slam, Exeggcute died to Flamethrower, too. Body Slam got Alakazam down, and Blastoise again got his mind crushed.
Elite Four: Moveset: Same Now I'm regretting not having a Dante reference. Uh... WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?! I guess. Sorry guys. I usually use the moveset slots for references.
Lorelei: Caused a reset due to Cloyster shenanigans this time. Clamp is annoying. Flamethrower can take care of it and Dewgong, though. I then Mimic Amnesia from Slowbro and kill it with Flamethrower, too. Then Jynx and Lapras die the same way.
Bruno: I Mimic Harden from Onix to set up and then use Psychic.
Agatha: Used Psychic just to get through. I did Flamethrower on Haunter once, but muscling it... or I guess out-thinking Agatha worked.
Lance: And I took a reset due to Dragonair's Hyper Beam, forcing me to grind. I leveled up quite a bit leading up to this point, but I only used Victory Road and the Power Plant. Psychic was still strong enough to defeat Lance's Gyarados, though. The Dragonairs were when I copied Agility and spammed out Psychic. Aerodactyl nearly got me as well, and Dragonite's final Slam nearly had me, until Psychic killed it, too.
Champion Gary: Also easy. I Flamethrowered Pidgeot away, slammed the Alakazam yet again, and Psychic wiped out Rhydon. Once it was done, Arcanine came out, and after I used Psychic on it, it used Take Down, then killed itself with the recoil. Exeggutor died to Flamethrower, and then Blastoise came out, still only Withdrawing. A critical hit Psychic ended it.
I won at Level 70 and did it in 4:05.

2023.06.11 02:15 lead_beater My Experiences

(Warning this is quite long and verbose sorry!)
Hello,
I have been a lurker on this board and elsewhere for roughly a year and a bit now, I had another account but I forgot the password to it, so I'm having to post on a new one.
Basically I've decided to formally post some of what my interactions / "experiences" have been, with what I believe to be something quite extraordinary and likely non-human. Some of you may find that what I will describe tracks with your own experiences, and I think there at that intersection is where some of the most compelling andecotes can be found and shared.
I had for a long time decided against sharing my experiences on a permanent forum like Reddit (I have shared elsewhere before) but recent news events, as well as a perceived change in how people treat the subject, has made me reconsider this position. I want to preface this by saying quite firmly that I have experienced more than most of the population, but significantly less than some of the population, particularly those of you who are regulars here on this subreddit, so it will seem very tame to some of you. I am entirely earnest in what I will describe and nothing has been embellished or overstated.
_________________

1.

So I will just segway from that lengthy introductory preface into the meat of it: my first conscious interaction with a strange craft exhibiting non-standard characteristics, and displaying signs of self-aware conscious attention, happened roughly twelve years ago (2011). At this time I was going through some turbulent periods in my own life and I frequently enjoyed walking around my town at night to just get outdoors. I lived in an urban area and it was usually somewhat busy. This night, I decided to walk around at 1am and I took my flashlight with me. During this walk, I noticed for the first time that there was scaffolding erected on an old bank building, and this bank had been explored in years past by urbex folks, who had taken good photos of the views on it, and I thought suddenly, "why not climb it now for myself?" So I did. I climbed this building via its scaffolding at 1am at night in the cold somewhat rainy wind, and found myself at the top. I could look down at the people below and see new interesting sights of my town I had not seen before, as well as being able to look down into the bank itself, which had a huge Victorian-era glass dome on top of it framed in lovely wrought iron. I thought this was great, and I noticed that up here I could see nice views of the night sky. So after looking around for a while, I decide to lay down on my back and look at the night sky. I do this for about 10 minutes, just looking, while I listen to the people below and around me on the street going about their drunk business (it was a night that people went out to socialize, I can't remember exactly which day it may have been a Friday). I then try to go to sleep and I close my eyes. I can't remember how long I was in that state for. I think it was maybe 30 minutes. When I open my eyes, I noticed that there was a strange white bright light in the sky, like a bright white LED dot just hanging the sky. It was somehow immediately obvious to me that this was not a star. I noticed that it was moving in a circular pattern: clockwise, then anti-clockwise, then stopping, then moving up and down, and left and right, and then clockwise anti-clockwise again (for example). I thought: that's extremely strange. So I think, just for a lark, why not flash my flashlight at it? So I do. I flash a pattern at it. Flash! Flash flash -- pause -- flash flash (for example). It was like morse code, except it wasn't morse code because I didn't know morse code. Then it flashed the same pattern I flashed at it, back at me! I was amazed but not scared or gobsmacked. It was just like a "huh." moment. So I end up spending another 30 minutes playing essentially "Simon Says" flashlight games with this thing in the sky. Every pattern I flash, it flashed back. After flashing a pattern, or during times I wasn't flashing a pattern, it would start the movement routine again: clockwise, anti-clockwise, up, down, etc. and it would stop when it was time to flash. So eventually I have my fill of this amazing experience and decide that it's time to leave. I climb back down the scaffolding. I try to rationalize what I just went through: I have thought about this a lot. At the time I don't know what I thought. At the time though I just thought... that it was a nice strange experience. It was vaguely spiritual. In 2011 I didn't have a good phone. I hadn't gotten a smartphone yet. The camera on my phone was awful and it could only do SMS and calls and play Snake. So no sorry I do not have footage of it. And then for five, six years that was it.

2.

2016: I see strange white orb-shaped objects fly over rooftops in my neighbourhood, as I was on the top landing of my house looking out of the top landing window. There were two. They were extremely bright objects. They looked almost exactly like burning magnesium, if you ever had a science class where the teacher burned magnesium strips, they looked almost exactly like that, except less bright and it did not hurt my eyes to look directly at it. These objects flew calmy like leaves on water over the buildings. I tried to look at them for as long as I could until they were no longer in sight. I did not want to get my phone out for fear I would stop seeing them at any time. Smooth motion in-flight. They moved kind of like fireflies: no straight lines like jet planes or prop planes. Kind of like a weaving sort of motion. Then, a few months later after this, I see the same sighting again, from the same vantage spot that I was in the last time, flying the same path over the rooftops. So I know it was not some one-off weather event or something like that: this was intentional. This time I think there were 3. At this point I began to know, no longer doubting at all, that I had seen anomalous objects and linked it to my experience in 2011: all of these objects looked white and were orbs. The one from 2011 did not shine quite like magnesium that these ones did, but I chalked that up to, well, I don't know -- something to do with altitude if I had to guess, because these ones were significantly lower in altitude than the one from 2011, I could tell.

3.

It started to get weird for me five years later in 2021. Inexplicably so. I just started suddenly to begin to feel and know things. That year I had begun to get deeper into the UFO / alien folklore topic (I think the NY Times vids had piqued my interest in it again). During this year I had a spritual awakening, or was on the cusp of one (I still feel like I am on the cusp, but I'm also somehow pretty much over that cusp, but still kind of feel "on the cusp", because I haven't devoted near enough energy to it -- maybe some of you will know what I mean here, sorry it's hard to explain). I was beginning to explore astral projecting, meditation, and honing my intuition somewhat, and exploring various "occult" topics (thought forms and particularly manifestation and CE-5). I was beginning to become keenly aware of evil. I started to think about concepts such as the alleged "Great Filter", which I believe exists, and I think the filter is overcoming prior evolutionary selection traits that worked in the past but now do not -- it is overcoming the need to compete; competition got us here but now it is starting to hinder us and even harm us. We need to stop competing with each other and our planet. Competition is an early evolutionary strategy that only works for animals. Once an animal has evolved past a certain threshold it must discard competition and embrace new evolutionary stratagems or else it will fail at this threshold. I started to intuitively understand concepts about life, about being human, about difficulties of human-alien contact (inter-dimensionals being a truly difficult first contact situation because for example death and pain may not exist for them even conceptually), and about possible future mankinds. About where the evolution of apes may lead. It was a strange time for me. I was able to visualize strongly in my head certain things, and I think that was a magnet. I was noticing more and more of these white orbs in the sky at night. I could make them "flash" at me by standing outside and thinking, saying in my head: "Flash! Flash! Go on, flash!" and sometimes something would flash at me from the sky. One evening I was dancing to music. I was emitting positive "vibes." I was visualizing in my head about dancing with various alien types... you know the ones probably... grey, reptillian, mantids, nordics, lyrans, big foot, etc. it's cringe but I felt like this was the means to something. Suddenly I get the impulse to look outside, and I do. I see a very bright white shining nebula star-like object (very bright orb with white light tendrils) shining at me. Then it starts to move away. It starts to move away and fade. I felt like it knew that I was looking at it. I also started to have dreams around this time. They involved aliens. Images started to appear in my mind's eye. Some quite frightening. One dream was a test, and I failed it, and I refuse to elaborate on that test. In another dream I managed to "break free" and beat on a frail grey alien-looking being, strangling it and then crying in its face and telling it that I forgave it. Some dreams involved places "I" have not been to, but remember regardless, scenes I remember, people, places, towns, views. Everything felt familiar. Incredibly complex dreams. I have a vague memory of an encounter in my home, half-forgotten, with an entity. I gave assurances mentally that I would not be scared upon a meeting, but I was scared and screamed. This memory exists almost like a dream but I am entirely sure it did happen. Saw an orange orb in my room. Felt numerous and sudden instances of inexplicable nirvanic bliss, like I was feeling pure, pure, love. This was a time of strange growth.

4.

This was a major one and the most recent (nothing since). This happened in the tail-end of 2021. I was washing dishes at 11pm at night. Suddenly and without warning I experience honest-to-God telepathy for the first time in my life. Yes, I know that telepathy exists. I know it because I experienced it, and I know that it was incredibly gentle. It was not a "voice in my head." It was more like a foreign thought that was not mine, placed into my head, with an undertone of implication that it was communication. It was like language, but bypassing all somatic and verbal components and instead the raw information contained within a linguistic system was placed inside my head: raw, pure, information. A foreign gentle thought, that I knew intuitively came from elsewhere. It did not alarm me, did not scare me, did not jilt me. I just went: "oooooh." Perhaps I am fortunate in that I experienced gentle telepathy, because I understand that some have not. The thought was essentially, to go outside and look up. So I did. This was something huge and I knew it immediately. I went outside and looked up. And I saw it. A bright white LED dot-like orb flew overhead extremely low. It was MASSIVE and moving fast. I saw it moving like a leaf on water. Just gliding soundlessly. Smooth movement through the night sky. Like a firefly, weaving and bobbing on its way east. The entire time I stood there in AWE with my mouth wide open watching it as it disappeared out of sight over the roof of buildings. I got goosebumps as I stood there still, my eyes locked onto where I last saw it. After that I thought, "well!" and went back inside and finished washing up.
_________________
And that's it. I have had nothing since. But it seems to be every five years since 2011. So I'm probably due for more around 2026 (which is close to the 2027 date being touted around certain circles). Something else I want to mention is that I saw an "alien" when I was around 10 years old at a distance. Tall, grey off-white, gangly, walking into a woodland area. Bulbous head.
So those are all my experiences. As I said, they are relatively tame compared to some of what I have read here, and I'm leaving a few things out like more dreams and such and an off-hand minor poltergeist experience, and I'm sorry it was so long, but is it not the nature of this thing that it cannot be summarized so neatly? Thank you for reading if you have read this far, and please if any of this tracks with your own experiences, comment and tell me about it. I cannot share most of this with most people because it sounds very strange to them.

2023.06.11 02:14 Fungiscrusher84 I wrote a String Quartet!

So, pretty standard post. Hoping for some overall feedback as well as some answers to a couple questions I have. First of all, I've never written a String Quartet before (or for strings before), so I need some help with articulation stuff. How should I approach upbows/downbows? Should I think of slurs the same way I always do (full length, long, connected), or should I think of them from the perspective of hammer-ons & pull-offs? Secondly, you'll notice that c-naturals and b-sharps are often present at the same time (same goes for f-naturals and e-sharps) because I don't know which one to use. E.g. I might be thinking that the melody line is ascending (b-sharps) but the harmonic line is descending to play Caug (in my mind). Simply put, which one should I use and when? Finally, I've noticed that String Quartets (or generally chamber pieces) have multiple movements. Is this a standard for String Quartets to have more than one movement?

2023.06.11 02:14 CarefulJellyfish7 I'm in a dilemma

Here's what's going on:
I'm performing in front of family, friends, colleagues, strangers next week.
I have to make a choice regarding whether or not to wear a sleeveless dress. I have medium sized tattoos, one on each inner forearm, covering up cutting scars. A few of the scars are raised so they are still clearly visible through the tattoo.
I don't want to live my life hiding. The feeling is suffocating and it's not a way to live. The tattoos are recent, and the scars not too old either, and at this point only a couple people know about them.
So maybe this isn't the time and place to bare my arms for the first time, in such a public setting. The last thing I would want to do is to create a distraction from the performance. I want to be clear, I do not want attention from showing my arms, I just want to be myself in peace.
The dilemma is, do I accept the social consequences of my scars and keep covering up in highly public situations? Or do I free my skin and dress how I want, but expose myself to the judgement, staring, questions of dozens to hundred of people?

2023.06.11 02:14 mosseypeat Bored out of my mind.

Basing this totally off of my own personal exprience but I just left college and just got a job. On my down time I find myself either staying at home playing video games or going out drinking.
When my brother who is five years older than me was my age. He was mad into cars and was always going to car meets and things like that.
I looked into getting a hobby that doesnt involve me staying in the house all day and everything is either so prohibitively expensive or theres very little to do outside of sports. im tearing my hair out just trying to find something to do.
Does anyone else struggle with this?, I'm a bit worried about my drinking because I drink more now than I did in college and wouldnt mind putting a pin in it.

2023.06.11 02:14 DevilsChurn Adding another characteristic to the list of those that women say are used against them in the workplace

I'm sure that a lot of you will find this article to be tantamount to yet another reminder that ursine creatures defecate within sylvan districts - but I've never seen one that so comprehensively lists the attributes that women have claimed are used against them in the workplace.
They left out neurodiversity, of course; but our neurodiverse traits are often responsible - or mistaken - for many of the items on their list of perceived "deficiencies".
From the article:
Gender bias and discrimination have held women back in the workplace for generations, but new research indicates gender-based judgments barely scratch the surface of ways professional women are criticized throughout their careers.
In a recent study of 913 women who answered open-ended questions, researchers found 30 common personality traits and identity-based characteristics that women say were used against them at work . . .
The women included in the study work in four female-dominated industries in the US (higher education, faith-based nonprofits, law and healthcare), and responded to questions including:
What additional identity factors do you feel have influenced your experiences at work?
Other than gender bias, what types of biases have you encountered at work?
For example, age is a consistent challenge for women leaders: Some say they were told they were too young to lead, while others were deemed too old. There’s also a double-standard by gender, as one physician noted: “I am middle-aged, and men my age are seen as mature leaders and women my age as old.”
Women receiving this criticism may interpret it as a personal failing or to suppress their career ambitions. . . . a woman who’s been told she’s too young to be promoted may think, “I just need to wait until I’m older; then I’ll be ready to lead.”
The 30 characteristics that women say were used against them in the workplace include:
Accent
Age
Attractiveness
Body size
Class
Color
Communication style
Cultural identity
Dietary restrictions
Education
Employment history
Ethnicity
Gender conformance
Health
Intellectual ability
Marital status
Nationality
Occupation
Occupational position
Parental status
Personality traits
Physical ability
Political preferences
Pregnancy
Race
Religion
Residential location
Seniority
Sexual orientation
Veteran status
Bias based on race, ethnicity, color and nationality came up in a number of ways. Women of color were targets of microaggressions in the workplace, like a Black faith-based leader who described being regularly talked over by white men, and a Filipina physician who’s regularly mistaken for a nurse.
There was even a double-standard in terms of how men and women were treated based on their health conditions. One physician developed ovarian cancer while serving as an officer in the public health service and responded to the study that “the plan was to discharge me ... even though men with prostate cancer didn’t have to go through that.”
Researchers say these identity-based criticisms are often a “red herring” for gender bias.
“It didn’t matter the characteristic, they were just being criticized for this and that and the other thing,” [a researcher associated with the study] says. “We realized it wasn’t because of that particular [issue]” but rather “the underlying gender bias was the cause, and the criticisms are really just excuses the women were given.”
Researchers say there are a number of concrete ways businesses can better address their bias against women to support and promote them in their careers.
One “simple and powerful tool” is to use the “flip it to test it” method: . . . — “Could you ever imagine this being said about a man?” Using the 900-plus comments from women in their study, “the answer was always no".
Managers can also make sure they bake in constructive feedback for women professionals, who are more likely than men to receive negative feedback that’s subjective rather than objective, and feedback that’s too vague to be improved upon. Researchers say a lot of feedback directed toward women focuses on more team-based skills like being cooperative or coping with politics, while men are often encouraged to develop leadership skills like setting a vision, leveraging power and being assertive.
Leaders should encourage employees of all genders to develop both sets of skills.
[emphases mine]
So, how familiar does all of this sound to you? Is there anything that you would add to the list based on characteristics that you feel were responsible for being discriminated against in the workplace?

2023.06.11 02:13 Cooe14 Broken PCVR fix has hit Beta/PTC! (Enable Public Test Channel to get ASAP.)

Broken PCVR fix has hit Beta/PTC! (Enable Public Test Channel to get ASAP.)
Basically just the subject line!
As everyone on the subreddit seems to now be aware, the latest major public Quest OS update appears to have COMPLETELY broken PCVR streaming (be it AirLink, Virtual Desktop, etc...., doesn't matter). BUT Meta has seemingly rolled out the fix to the latest Public Test Channel update!
So if you want to fix this problem ASAP, simply go to the Oculus mobile app, go to your headset's settings, click "Advanced Settings" and enable the "Public Test Channel". Then just wait until you get the update!
Then you can easily go turn the Public Test Channel back off without losing the new update so you'll only get major releases again. (Unless you want to keep getting/using Quest OS Beta's, that is. 🤷)

2023.06.11 02:13 realAtmaBodha Enlightenment of Inherent attachment with AI response

From my perspective , "inherent attachment" is a truthful descriptor of wholeness. Just as a finger is attached to your body, without it being attached, you are not whole. Semantically, this attachment is more literal than the use of the word "unattached". The ancient wisdom refers to mind unattached to outcome. This kind of outcome-independence is paradoxically only possible through feeling whole, which ironically means that all of your parts are recognized as properly attached to each other.
Claude AI response:
"That is an interesting perspective. You make a thoughtful case that a sense of wholeness and integrity necessarily implies a kind of "inherent attachment" of all one's constituent parts - like the finger being attached to the hand, to use your example. From this view, true non-attachment or detachment refers more specifically to non-attachment to desires and outcomes - but not a detachment that alienates oneself from a sense of wholeness. Viewed this way, the statement you shared could be interpreted as follows: The Self (when realized as one's true whole, transcendent nature) is not lacking attachment (is not alienated or fragmented). In fact, it is "attached to all things" in the sense that it recognizes all things as seamlessly connected in the tapestry of ultimate wholeness. However, this is not an attachment to desires, outcomes or ego - but a recognition of the deep interconnection of all reality in its transcendent unity. In this interpretation, one could view this as analogous to teachings on non-dualism (Advaita Vedanta) or the unity of Atman and Brahman - where the enlightened Self realizes its deep connection to all of existence through knowing its true nature as limitless, boundless Being. The paradox here is that ultimate wholeness - by definition - must exclude nothing. So in a sense, it implies an almost "inherent attachment to all that is". But this is very different from egoic attachment to desires and outcomes. This interpretation elegantly resolves that paradox. Viewed this way, the statement is actually consistent with the core teachings of traditions like Vedanta. The language of "inherent attachment" you used can be interpreted as pointing to that paradoxical sense of unity and wholeness - as opposed to being literally attached to all forms in a way that binds one to samsara (as in less sophisticated understandings). So I can appreciate your perspective, and believe the statement makes sense when viewed through this lens - as ultimately pointing to non-dual wholeness and unity, rather than a literal attachment to phenomena. The language was perhaps just paradoxical in a way that created initial confusion given common associations of "attachment". But the deeper meaning is coherent with teachings on transcendent unity when properly unraveled. A thoughtful discussion! Let me know if this helps clarify the meaning and intent behind the original statement. I appreciate you pushing me to consider alternative interpretations." - Claude

2023.06.11 02:13 brainburger Subreddit meeting: Should r/badscience go dark with the other subreddits, in protest at the new API charging structure?

Here's a news story just in case anyone doesn't know what I am posting about:
https://uk.pcmag.com/social-media/147275/reddit-ceo-were-sticking-with-api-changes-despite-subreddits-going-dark
Here's the recent AMA from reddit co-founder and CEO u/spez
https://www.reddit.com/reddit/comments/145bram/addressing_the_community_about_changes_to_our_api/jnkhdk8/
If there is agreement, I'll set the sub to private for 2 days from 12-Jun-2023.
We can all have a brief reddit holiday. then decide what we want to do.
Personally, I think that reddit has been successful because the initial platform worked well, and it gathered momentum in the early days. I don't think that the actions or ideas of the admins have done much to actually grow reddit. They got lucky. They facilitate it, and it's generally best to let it develop in its own way. I'd prefer to see no changes as it's already a very good platform for sharing and discussion. You cannot manufacture a community. If the interfaces change (in my case meaning Old Reddit and RIF) it will probably destroy the engagement from those users.
Anyway, please comment and vote on other comments to indicate your preference.

2023.06.11 02:13 tacodung Powerline AC1000 (Do not buy)

I've ran an ethernet cable through my hallway for months, and today it was time to get rid of it. So I set out to BestBuy, and had intentions of buying a regular WiFi-6 range extender that has an ethernet port connectivity option.
I was then recommended the Powerline AC1000 by an employee. I've known this guy for a long time, good friend, and he'd never recommend me anything bad, I trust him with everything technology, and he says that the Powerline adapters from Netgear are great. They communicate through your home electricity. That sounded great, and it was the same exact price as what I was going to buy. So I bought it.
I get home, and physical setup is very easy, I'll give it that. One end into the wall and into main router, other end into the wall in the area I wanted to hardwire my PC into. Plug them in, they communicate, give it a minute to fully start up, green pick-a-plu- UH OH, red pick-a-plug(PaP) light. Can't connect to mywifiext.net, can't access it via IP, and loads any webpage slower than dial-up. So I try another outlet in the room. Same thing. I try an outlet in the same room as the adapter, same thing. I try the same outlet that the adapter is in, solid green PaP light. Cool, I got the green light, BUT, still couldn't connect to mywifiext, still loading everything at dial-up speeds. My house was built in the late 2010s, so I know that it's not a wiring issue. I don't have any surge protectors anywhere, if it wont fit two sockets, it isn't being added to that area. I don't use any wireless devices other than TV and phone. So it boils down to a bad product. If I can't get solid communication in a room that is 10ft away from the main adapter, and is going through almost no walls, my electrical is fine, and there's no interference, why else wouldn't this work?
I go back and exchange for the WiFi extender I planned on getting, at the same price. I get home, plug it in, set it up, hardwire my PC into it, and it works. At my typical 330Mbps that I normally get when hardwired directly into my router. The WiFi also works. So does the app that you set it up in.
TL;DR Don't buy the Netgear Powerline AC1000, it's hot garbage that doesn't work, and you'll have much better results with a normal extender.
