I came across a post in Philippines that suggests that there's a pipeline of right-wing ideas from the U.S. to the Philippines.
As you probably now, drag bans in the U.S. are big news at the moment. In the post, the OP was stirring up a moral panic over this video, claiming that this was the result of people being "woke". (Side note: If you're using "woke" as a pejorative label for things that you happen to disapprove of, then you need to see the actual definition of the term.
I challenged the OP, saying that the video shows people in costumes who are dancing, doing a little bit of gymnastics, and lipsyncing. The children are clearly accompanied by parents or other adults with responsibility over them.
The OP replied with even more heightened language; they:

• said that anyone with common sense would see that the video is disgusting;
• claimed that the drag performances had transformed the setting into the equivalent of a gay bar, which isn't appropriate for children;
• insisted that the drag queens weren't wearing anything ("hubad", "walang suot"); and
• asked me if I knew anything about morality and decency, or if I instead endorsed degeneracy.

The comments were locked, and the post deleted, before I could reply, but the situation did get me wondering how to engage with people who think this way about drag (or indeed any other queer topic).
I realize that, on the one hand, it's probably pointless to enter into discussions with people who have already made up their minds, are approaching the subject in bad faith, or are sealioning or otherwise trolling. On the other hand, some of these conversations probably do need to be had if we're going to push back on ignorance and hate.
Hence, this post: how would you explain (or defend) the art of drag?
Sharing here the points that I would've raised with OP if I had had a chance to do so.

• The adults supervising the children in the video clearly disagree with you. Do you claim to know better than the children's parents? If yes, why?
• On what basis is this disgusting? Are you saying that drag queens are disgusting? That drag, as a centuries-spanning art form, is disgusting? That queer people, in general, are disgusting? Why?
• The setting of the video is obviously not a gay bar. The presence of drag queens who are doing their jobs (i.e., performing) doesn't automatically transform a location into a gay bar. Do you even know what goes on in a gay bar?
• The drag queens are very clearly clothed. If you object to the amount or type of clothing, that's a different issue.
• Many other people who perform for a living wear similar articles of clothing (e.g., dancers, singers, actors, acrobats, professional wrestlers). Many other people are also engaged in sports that require similarly skintight or skimpy clothing (e.g., gymnasts, divers, swimmers). These non-drag queens pursue their activities in physical and digital spaces that children have access to. Do you object to them, too? Why?
• What makes drag immoral, indecent, or degenerate?

This is sort of a broad post with many facets and I don't have a TLDR. I was in a high-control "spiritual" group from age 21-30 and am having some challenges readjusting to many of the "realities" of life. I don't know where to go to for help and would greatly appreciate outside perspectives.
I'm starting my 2nd year as an apprentice plumber after finishing first in my trade school (once I decided to leave said group).
I believe that one of the triggers for addictive/self-destructive behavior is trying to avoid challenging emotions. I struggle with binge eating maybe 50% of evenings and I live with my mother. She has been wonderfully supportive since I decided to make my own decisions in life and doesn't charge me rent, never will and will allow me to stay as long as I want to.
Last year I paid off $7,000 of credit card debt and maxed my new Roth IRA. The year before I paid $6,000 of delinquent capital gains tax. All these debts were due to squandering an inheritance from my grandfather due to me having a good heart, being gullible perhaps and not having any financial literacy until I decided that personal sovereignty was very important to me.
Anyways, living with my mother has allowed me to save a little money, but I'm not happy with the emotional/social dynamic. I don't want to speculate too much, but I think I reject the kind of love my mother wants to give me. She's getting better about seeing me as an adult, but still does things like trying to speak for me to others while in my presence, kind of normal mothering stuff for a little boy, I guess. She's retired and I think sort of has a tendency to live vicariously through others. I don't think it's healthy and so I don't really talk about my life much or communicate much with her at all. I respect her, but we're into different things and frankly, as adults, don't have a lot of common interests, which is fine. Me living with her is putting a fair strain on both of us I think, but she'll never ask me to leave.
We don't eat together for various reasons. Partially it's scheduling, she's more into snacking and I don't like talking while eating. Also, although I don't show it outwardly, I think I get triggered by her questions. I feel like I'm being interrogated and as an adult, I don't owe her any answers.
I think one of my triggers for binge eating is feeling trapped and not in control of my life. I'm wondering if living on my own will help me to "man up" for lack of a better phrase and just make my life work. I've lived alone and with roommates before in many different situations. However I also struggled with binge eating/drinking while living alone in situations where I didn't feel in control, or I didn't like my life circumstances, such as my boss being my landlord, etc. I did learn some independence even though I was in a cult lol. I was told what part of the work to go to, what country to go to, then left and forgotten about. I had to find odd jobs with limited handman/farm skills and couldn't make any commitments. I had to make it work.
I'm hedging my bets that being more independent will help me to overcome my self-destructive habits. Frankly, I've struggled with food addiction before I even got involved in the high-control group. I'm not overweight and am actually very fit, but you know when you have a problem.
I haven't confessed this to anyone in my life, but I started seeing a therapist a couple months ago and have talked about using food to cope. I have a good relationship with some of my family members but I guess I just don't want sympathy. There was a time maybe 12-13 years ago I had a major eczema issue with my skin, lived with my mother and told my sisters I wasn't interested in going to see a Western medical practitioner. Frankly, the crying, begging and emotional strain of having people care about me with good intentions can be a lot to bear. It doesn't always make things better.
I have hobbies, but I don't fully express myself and my interests around my mother and family members. I'm hoping that living on my own (even with roommates), I can focus on increasing my earning potential, work occasional side jobs and focus on my hobbies (singing, Spanish language, martial arts, yoga, etc.) and that this purpose will help me to face uncomfortable emotions and not rely on coping in negative ways.
I'd like to move out of the house and keep reworking my budget, but it's tough. I currently make $21.50/hr. but if I go to another company, I may be taking a pay cut. Although currently, I don't have any benefit package from my job and with a different company, I'd have a package. I currently have about $21,000 in a HYSA that is a combination of an emergency fund and new catruck savings.
I drive a Toyota Solara with 246,000 miles that's been well-cared for. I just put in a new alternator and new tires. Part of my hesitation in leaving my company and current city is that I don't know how much longer this car will last. I don't want to be somewhere I don't know anybody and have to deal with towing a scrap car, potentially missing work at a new company, getting a rental car and finding something reliable with Uber's and whatnot. I don't necessarily NEED a truck but am looking at everything from Tundras to Rangers because it will help me keep options open for weekend side jobs and also to move living situations if I need to.
At my current job, I'm not getting the best training (but it's okay and I can make it work), but I have a company van, they may have given me a little too early (7 months in). So, if my personal car breaks down on a weekend while I have a work van and I'm living with my mother, it's not a huge deal. Problem is, I live in a HCOL area, but I could probably find a roommate and keep my housing/utility costs under $850/mo.
My credit is 694 and I don't want to have a car loan that is less than 91.5% paid off while potentially needing to have a landlord run my credit. 694 should be fine for an apartment, but not if I add a mostly unpaid car loan.
My buddy's mother and her partner have a mother-in-law suite they are trying to rent out in a major city 1 hour away from me. They would charge below market value and there is a good plumbing company in the area I would try to get in with. They are known for having a wonderful paid training program (they actually subcontract out their training). I'd likely take a pay cut but get benefits I'm currently paying for myself (dental, health, retirement). I would probably be someone's helper for 2-6 months before getting my own work vehicle. This is an option.
I guess there's a part of me that feels bad to leave my current company. There is sideways and upward mobility, I have enough say (due to my work ethic and intellect) that I can mostly work with who I want to. They took a chance on me, pay me decently (started me at $20 and now got an additional $1.50 after 10 months) and they make a decent effort to teach me stuff. Problem is they aren't organized with how they bill jobs, among other thing. Some jobs are time and materials, some things are flat rate, some things are a total toss up and some are charity for the church, which takes money out of the employees pockets. At the risk of sounding like I'm slandering them, a good few of the guys are pot heads and even smoke at work. Warnings have been given, but nobody gets fired. If you splash too much water out of a small puddle, I guess you're only left with mud. But I still believe that a company should have standards. Small family company and management doesn't really command respect. We lose money on efficiency and productivity. Guys 6 years in still don't know how to solder and make what I make, some less. One of our lead plumbers makes $.50 an hour more than I do.
So my point is that I could do okay if I stayed in this city with my current job, for now, but I wouldn't be relying on being around people with a growth mindset. I would be relying on my own drive, which is fickle. I'm driven, but I feel like I'm also influenced by my environment. If I stay here, I'd continue seeing my therapist, but if I move to the larger city with arguably the better company, I'd probably find another therapist and would also have access to a couple different men's groups, but nothing like Overeaters Anonymous or Smart Recovery. There are options though for help if I need it, more so in the larger city.
I'll add that my former cult is based out of the larger city with these opportunities. They aren't like a major Church, but are low-key, Christian-influenced Andean Shamanic type people who are followers of someone very charismatic with a few allegations of sexual harassment, although nothing is concrete so far (I think). If I moved there, I may run into the people I left who I was very close to for 9 years. Wouldn't be a big deal I don't think, but I might have to face that.
Budget: $2,900 monthly net income
$693 food (inflated due to not feeling comfortable in my mom's kitchen to cook healthy/cheap)
$541 IRA contributions
$150 catruck savings
$100 gas
$80 clothes/shoe allowance
$80 counseling copayments
$70 health insurance
$70 Verizon bill
$55 car maintenance
$50 supplements
$35 dental insurance
$25 cleaning/maintenance
That leaves me with $951 for rent/utilities, but perhaps more. My food spending should go down substantially if I live alone, but it might not go down if I have to share a kitchen with someone.
I get bonuses at work but don't build my budget around that or anything I make from side jobs.
My mother has decided to pay my car insurance and I won't necessarily complain about that.

The last thing I'll add is that I'm learning to enjoy taking ice baths and am trying to pursue difficult things in order to build up my discipline.

Have a great weekend!

Mostly we don’t need them —
Most every care sheet you read will instruct you to incorporate a thermostat of some sort into your vivarium design. So maybe its surprising to read here that I think they are often worthless and even dangerous.
Probably because there was no such thing during the first 20 years of my herp keeping career, we had no choice but to live without them. And when they first showed up on the scene I thought of them mostly as more pet store junk. Later I realized just how dangerous they were!

Welcome!

Welcome to VaultHuntersMinecraft, the subreddit dedicated to all things Vault Hunters, including Sky Vaults, casual mode, fan art, lore and gameplay.

What is Vault Hunters?

Vault Hunters (VH) is a Minecraft modpack created by Iskall85 and his dev team. It’s a different take on modded Minecraft that uses features and game mechanics from PvE style games like, for example, Diablo and Path of Exile to create a completely new Minecraft experience.
Vault Hunters is structured around running Vaults: monster-filled caverns which the player must enter, loot, and exit or complete the objective before the time runs out.
The ultimate goal of the modpack is to collect all 25 unique Vault Artifacts and use them to run and complete the Final Vault. The main way of getting these Artifacts is finding them in the Reward Crates which you can get by completing the objective in a normal vault.
Because of this, the main gameplay element of VH is running Vaults. By doing so, the player will obtain not only Artifacts but also more and better loot. This loot will enable you to obtain better tools, weapons and gear which makes you run faster, loot more efficiently, hit harder and take less damage. It also enables the player to build farms and other contraptions which will improve everyday life outside of the Vault.
Furthermore Vault Hunters has what you can call a tech tree where you have to collect certain items to unlock new Researches (mods like Refined Storage or Create) and a Skill system that lets you unlock new Abilities and Talents as you level up.

Subreddit rules

The rules for VaultHuntersMinecraft can be found in the About section which is located in the navigation bar at the top and/or in the sidebar.

Vault Hunters SMP

The Vault Hunters SMP was created to test, show off and promote the Vault Hunters modpack. It is a whitelisted server (meaning that people who aren’t invited can’t join) where several popular Minecraft streamers play the modpack together in the same world. Some players have been on the VHSMP for all 3 seasons while others only were part of the group for one or two seasons.

My MIL is one of the weirdest people I have ever met. Ever since I met my husband she is obsessed with her sons sex life. For context she grew up communist and in a boarding school. She never dated. She ended up marrying the only unmarried boy in her town. They moved to the US. She fell pregnant her husband who started to decline with MS at 30. He could not longer function and has been in a nursing home since the 90s. She ended up raising my husband alone. Long story short I met my husband during the pandemic. Since the very beginning she has been manipulative and try to break us apart. She has no filter. One of the first times I met her she came into my room and went into my underwear drawer and pulled out a thong. She told me I was a whore for wearing that. She would constantly calls me fat and ugly and say I’m surprised my son is into you because you are not skinny and blonde (I’m Latina). My husband is always sticking up for me and yelling at her. She reply’s with “I’m the mother and you’re the son”. At a point she was completely finiacally dependent on my husband. He was paying for her rent, phone, car, cable etc. We decided to move out of state. And he cut her off. That’s when she become crazy. She gifted me lingerie and said this is for you to have sex with my son. I thought it was weird. A few months later I fell pregnant and had a miscarriage and she told me she was glad because she wishes her son married a Russian woman and now since I had a miscarriage he has a chance again. A few months later we got married. She showed up late to the wedding and told me right before pictures I looked fat. I’ve tried to stay civil with this woman after all of these horrible things and these are just the slight few. She never makes any attempt to see her grandchild or even ask about her. My baby is 9 months and she has only seen her maybe 8 times. We moved back and We do not live far at all. The last time I went to her house she had hung up a picture that my husband sent her of all of us. But she cropped me out framed it and hung it up. I asked her why. She said she loved how her son looked and didn’t think it was weird. On the latest occasion. She gifted me lube and said it was to have sex with her son. I was so offended I cut her off. She is harassing my husband saying that I need to talk with her. Once again she is trying to manipulate the situation and is trying to gas light me. The lube she bought me was the brand chivaye. She says it’s for taming skin and a moisturizer. She sent me countless messages how I am misunderstanding and she loves me like a daughter. I told her I am done with her behavior and haven’t answered any of her texts to me. She’s now threatening to put her self into the hospital to my husband. It’s causing lots of stress in our marriage. What would you do ?

I want to preface this by mentioning it's important for me that you be in the general area, just to be realistic. I'm not willing to do LDR.
I'd like to meet someone that's down to do stuff couples do, like laughing at horror movies together, attending concerts and events, eat out, try making a new recipe together and fucking it up, etc. You know, the regular.
I value mutual respect, honesty, straightforwardness, and the ability to agree to disagree on non impactful things.
Kinda got a thing for boyish girls, alt people, shorter people, taller than average women. None of that is a must, I like all kinds of people.
About myself: Physically speaking I am tall, brown haired with blue/green eyes. I wear glasses and sport a handful of tattoos.
I'm a apprentice of the trades while also being employed part time.
Interests vary depending on my latest hyper fixation. I dabble in digital art, am learning how to tattoo, and I repaimod electronics. I like to attend music shows on the weekend.
I speak both French and English.
If after you've read this thing I seem like a good time to you, don't hesitate to shoot a DM.

Good afternoon and apologies for the length of this post but this problem is now driving me mad, I took my fire tablet off charge to use one morning after it had been on charge all night but it was dead, would not power up at all, I plugged it into a different socket, used a different lead but nothing. I plugged it into my PC and heard the connection sound but nothing came up and nothing showed on the fire screen, then I heard the disconnect sound, then it just kept doing that over again. I have tried the usual holding the power button down and the volume buttons but still nothing. I bought a new battery thinking that was the problem but it didn't change anything, I checked the voltage in the new battery and it shows 4.1v so that is ok, it is showing 5v coming into the board from the charging port when I plug it in so I know it's getting power but that is the extent of my technical knowledge. I reached out to Amazon tech and after an hour being passed around the best they could do was offer me 15% off a new one. I don't want to fork out for a new one until I have exhausted all avenues so any advice would be gratefully received.

Small rant. Just failed my probably 4th eviction notice this week because people go for kills instead of doing the objectives. There's no reason anyone should be 10 minutes into the event and still not have all the meat bags broken, out of the 8 to 10 people there there was one other in person besides myself trying to repair the rad scrubber or do the objectives. I'm getting to the point where I'm about to even start skipping mutated eviction notices because it's a 50/50% chance of failing, and not because of the event itself, bc people don't know how to play it. It wasn't even a bad mutation, it was the explosive one.
If you show up to eviction notice do the objectives, or you're going to help your team fail.
Rant over.

According to 8k, company is holding 400k+ of outstanding stock. But until the $300 mil offering showed up, float numbers were not updated.
So what happened to those shares in Hudson warrant deal? Are they still outstanding or cancelled? Doesn't look like they are cancelled since those funds have been used to pay off debt.
So float doesn't include those shares and can show up potentially later?
This would only mean, all the drop in price was preemptive (with naked shorts) and now the public float with $300 mil sale is what those shorts get to close out if there's reverse split/M&A/buyout/takeover? With 1:20, at 0.5, it's $10 a share and 30 mil shares?
Can someone share thoughts on this?

In last few months, I have become more and more aware of just how little my husband actually knows me. We have been together for 4 years, and spend every waking minute together when we are not at work. We decided to tie the knot last October when his job was relocating him to another state, and we thought it would be less stressful. We just did a quick visit to the courthouse. (We were both previously married for over 15 years to other ppl, but his wife passed and my ex-husband and I split amicably.)
Recently, when I bring up ANYTHING I am interested in or have a passion for, he just completely ignores me. I am a very co-operative person and I have always hated conflict. (I know. not healthy.) He goes on and on and on and on about his work day, at lunch when he is home, and after work, and even into the night. I go out of my way to be supportive and actively listen and ask questions. He is the only one working right now, as we share a car, so I am at home, in a new state, trying to navigate my own life. I have a thousand examples of him not caring about what makes me tick, or even how my day is. (He asks sometimes, but then walks away while I am talking, and doesn't respond.) I have been so patient blaming myself for not having more to say about what he likes, but last night was the last straw. He listens to heavy metal only. I love metal, but it is not the extent of my musical prowess. We watch movies every night that he picks, and I am pretty quick witted when it comes to discussing anything music and movies. I told him while we were watching "Yellowjackets," that ppl are saying this show is going to do for Tori Amos, what "Stranger Things," did for Kate Bush. He said, "Who?" I said, "Tori Amos." He said, "Never heard of it." Yeah, he said, "IT."
I AM OBSESSED WITH TORI AMOS. I brought my kids up on her, and my 28 year old son is even going to a concert of hers here pretty quick, which I told him about months ago. I sing her in the bathroom ALL THE TIME! And I have been to numerous concerts to see her. My daughter is named "CORI," because I didn't want to be too weird and call her Tori, but still like a tribute. He knows all of this. Like I said, this is one example, but at this point, it is like he is going out of his way to "NOT CARE." I am at my wits end, and there are so many other things wrong with this situation, I could write a friggin' dissertation on the matter. This example is probably futile, but it was like, REALLY? You haven't listened to me talk, like EVER? I am trying to get my socialization online, and go to social gatherings in the community when I can, so I am not bombarding him with MY crap all the time, but it is severely one sided, and my involvement in any relationships is discouraged, or ignored. I even bring up a variety of topics that he may find interest in, and it is like, "Talking to a Wall," as my junior high algebra teacher would put it. Any suggestions on how to navigate this without coming across like a whiny baby who wants her way. Pay Attention to Me!!! That is what I feel like when I think about bringing anything up. I am totally blaming myself for something ridiculous, right? Should I just ignore him and find friends online and in my community to socialize with? I am an idiot for even posting this. I feel so dumb, but it is an everyday occurrence, and seems to be getting worse. Thanks. :)

Hey,
I hope that you can help me: I bought 2 new key lights from Elgato and I tried to set they up but I failed.
My first attempt was via the Elgato Control Center and my pc but during the connection process, where I have to select ne wifi network, my wifi didn't showed up. I restarted the router, I checked the 2,4 Ghz module but nothing changed.
​
After that I tried it with my smartphone and the Elgato app but that also failed. I select one of the key lights, I select connect but then several things can happen:
a) the loading circle is circling for ever and nothing else happen
b) It asks me for the right network but my network is not shown and on top of that, the shown networks are changing from attempt to attempt.
c) b) It asks me for the right network and I select my network but the loading circle is circling for ever and nothing else happen.
​
What should I do?

A Serapeum was any temple/sanatorium dedicated to rhe God Serapis. Like the House of Spirit located not far, but utilized by only initiates of the Serpent cults. They had lots of "healing centers" or Pr-ANKH (house of Life), as it was an important part of everyday life. The latest proper usage was by Im-Hotep the greatest physician to date, and the Cult of Imhotep-Asclepius This photo . Le Serapeum de Memphis shows stones stacked on top of the massive granite boxes ...
During The discovery of the Zawyet pyramid by Alessandro Barsanti- zawyet pyramid he found the very same & had this to say "They had spread over the lid a layer of lime, and over the lime a thick bed of well-spread clay, which entirely prevented it from contact with the limestone blocks stacked over it. I only noticed that the side walls were lined with a black band that was 0 meter and 10 centimeters in height. It is probably the very light deposit of some liquid enclosed in the vat as an offering or libation, and which would have evaporated over the years. It has been hypothesized that this tank was an unused sarcophagus, but I do not think so. The care with which it was protected, proves that it contained something, and the blackish deposit indicates the nature of this content. One would not have taken the precaution of concealing it under an enormous mass of blocks if it had been empty at that time."
You can see the Crystal in this photo taken from the area, these boxes were not for burying anyone or anything. They symbolised life. Photographic evidence of luminescent granite 2010 Granite under stress builds voltage potential on its surface. If the voltage is high enough, it ionizes the air around the surface, creating a glow. To show how the geophysical locations of megalithic architecture wasn't a coincidence , heres an example of harnessing energy from the serpentine lines of the mother Earth (Gaia). Kenya Geothermal -Phys EaLights
Ramses 2nd son Khaemwaset who was responsible for restoration of the Serapeum was a constant researcher of the hidden principle of divine intelligence and the human capacity to rediscover it. Khaemweset ordered that a tunnel be excavated through the solid limestone bedrock, with side chambers designed to contain large granite "sarcophagi "weighing at least 70 tons.
I won't pretend to have any knowledge about construction whatsoever, our lineage have always been healers. the Engineers were the Serpent Priest of the Shakti Cult. Theres a reason India is recognized as the center of knowledge & the last remaining term from the once universal language 'Naga' is associated with India specifically. Today there are a handful of locations one can recieve the rites of initiation in the mystery schools (Khep-Ra In Burkina faso , West Africa, the Tibetan, Australian, and Malavali, India ) Naga are divided into four classes: heavenly, divine, earthly or hidden, depending upon their function.
Something interesting to note that im 1983 a Tru Stone Granite manufacturer acknowledged not having the capability to reproduce the boxes. Tru stone Capability interview Worlds leading Granite manufacturer The Serapeum has always been my favorite site in all of Egypt. Angkor Wat & Maltas Hypogeum are the 3 sites most fascinating because they were basically regional centers for learning the serpent wisdom. Naturally , they would also be healing centers which explains the research Dr Devereaux did in archeaoacoustics. He found the interior or 'Navel' resonates at a frequency of 111hz, which is shown to induce trance like-meditative states.
Ptah -A chthonic god, he reigns over the minerals in the depths of the Earth..With healing, of course is The use of monoatomic gold popularly known as Ormus. The use of the Elixir of Life, (Also 'shewbread, the ' sustenance of the Gods' ' said to promote 'life , longevity & immortality' is to be found anywhere in Egypt that you find the granite boxes. Barsanti pointed out the bottom of the vat had a black ring around it theorizing it once contained some type of liquid that was obviously worth preserving, Kings Chamber is no different. The Maya would call them 'Celestial Waters', its in the Pyramid of Fire Codex. Project Stargates Joe McMoneagle if youre familiar mentioned his OBE sessions would require laying 'in a black cube , on a bed of salts' , some of the large boxes in the Serapeum were for this very purpose.
I wont elaborate on this here im just gonna leave some research i think you'll find interesting. Unzipping DNA gold These granite boxes were functional, as you can tell by the lid being so heavy, it was to prevent breakage. Mirror like finish The inside of the boxes were so level that they their accuracy was within 0.00005 inch, or 0.00127 mm, at least at the length of the gauge which was 14 inches long. he also found that the radius of the corners was very small: 5/32 inch, or 4 millimeters. Acoustic Harmonic resonance. .
People saying "they just stacked rocks' couldn't be more clueless. These people would speak of the spirits in the stones, because they understood nature unlike today. Our spirituality speak of 5 elements, but instead of Earth we have 'mineral'.. like the Inca, we understand that our bones, not our brains, are the storage place of memory. In the West we have a saying: "I knew it in my bones", which refers to a deeper, more elemental knowing than is possible through rational thought. I wonder if those in Silicon Valley, who shave stones to their essence and put them in machines of memory, already know that stones have always managed information. Perhaps the modern world's fascination with the internet can be traced to this vast memory gap. Indigenous people don't look outside themselves they look within. Mineral people are story tellers. Our gift to society is that of remembering, through words and stories, one's origins and purpose
ImHotep founded a medical school in Memphis named Asklepion. Here his cult would entertain the patients who would often stay for weeks. All of this was done in the belief that healing was a sacred art and that people’s souls needed to be mended as well as their bodies.Treatments included psychotherapy, massage, herbal remedies, mud and bathing treatments, surgeries and the drinking of water from the Springs. Energy healing only can be accomplished by the component healer, in harmony with the patient. This is the most difficult aspect of holistic healing practices.
The bull in connection with the heavens have been found, for example the palette from the pre-dynastic period of Naqada (4000-3000 BC). It was believed that the Apis contained the divine manifestation of the god Ptah, and later of Osiris. The Apis bull was the actual receptacle selected by the soul of Ptah to come and incarnate in our Earth density. When Osiris later absorbed the identity of Ptah, he symbolised life in death, that is to say, resurrection. The Osiris living in the underworld is also the Osiris of fertile vegetation, he who has conquered evil and death. . Thus the Babylonian god Ea was called "Serapsi", that is to say "King of the Depths", which also relates to our Egyptian Serapis.OSIRIS - four chief aspects of Osiris were – Osiris-Phtah (Light), the spiritual aspect; Osiris-Horus (Mind), the intellectual manasic aspect; Osiris-Lunus, the “Lunar” or psychic, astral aspect; Osiris-Typhon, Diamonic, or physical, material, therefore passional turbulent aspect. In these for aspects he symbolizes the dual Ego – the divine and the human, the cosmico-spiritual and the terrestrial."
Ive never read much of H.P. Blavatsky but i agree with this sentiment "Egyptian conception is the most suggestive and the grandest, as it embraces the whole range of physical and metaphysical thought…Thus the god is blended in man, and the man is deified into a god.”God Ptah the Blue on top of head later was adopted by blacksmiths. The earliest legends of the history of India mention two dynasties now lost in the night of time; the first was the dynasty of kings, of “the race of the sun”, who reigned in Ayodhia (now Oude); the second that of the “race of the moon”, who reigned Pruyag (Allahabad).

• Found a diagram from which doesnt say but likely was discovered near the ancient wisdom center Harran, home of the Sabians/Nabateans who were of course nomadic priests spreading The Word’ and the word was the serpent. The ‘light’ that appeared was metaphorically defined as a serpent called ‘Kundalini’, coiled at the base of the spine to remain dormant in an unawakened person. Divinity or awakening one’s Godhood and latent abilities came with the rituals and teachings brought by the serpent people. "Hidden Book’ attributed to Hermes Trismegistus (1), a legendary sage-king of ancient Egypt who was believed to have mastered the secrets of occult sciences such as alchemy and to have recorded them in hieroglyphs on the walls of temples and tombs. The ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, last written nine centuries before al-‘Irāqī’s lifetime, were undecipherable to him and his contemporaries. Undeterred, and guided by the legend of Hermes Trismegistus, he gave the illustrated elements an alchemical interpretation. He refers to apparatus such as the distillation furnace (7) and the bain-marie (12), and to processes such as roasting (11) and blackening (2). Alchemical substances are referred to symbolically: the eagle (3, 4, 10) and the ‘intensely black’ raven (9) were widely employed as codes for sal ammoniac and for iron and/or lead, respectively. Diagram" - Serpent Wisdom

Apis - sign of Tanit - from the front represents the crescent moon (the horns), the sun (the disc that he was always adorned with) and the pyramid (his triangular snout). According to my favorite historian Sanchuniathon "the whole thing was represented by a person raising his arms in prayer to the heavens." The rites surrounding the Apis were considerable. There was even a rite of baptism practiced in Rome much later, when the cult of Apis gained much success. This ritual was very similar to the Christian one. Serapis-Jesus 9 times out of 10, the Jesus Christ depiction you see is actually Serapis Emperor Hadrian, while traveling in Egypt in A.D. 24, declared in a letter to Servianus that the worshipers of Serapis were Christians and that the Bishops of the church also worshiped at his shrine. He even declared that the Patriarch himself, when in Egypt, was forced to adore Serapis as well as Christ.”
In Luxor, Serapis and his brothers, erected a new Temple of the Ascension, which was for endowing us with the “spark” of Christ Self, a divine particle of Fire - part of ourselves Ptah, the former Atum, demiurge, "creator of the World", "the one who shapes", who builds, "the Divine Architect of heaven and earth", "the possessor of creative fire." This is very simply the Kundalini serpent energy within the human body. Enoch said it, in Egypt Jesus obviously studied the mysteries(his teachings), seeing as though he quoted him quite heavily. the Shabaka Stone it is said that Ptah "brought the world into existence." Worship of Serapis
FYI: ImHotep(Hotep- Peace & Food) & Asclepius were the same person. While gathering sources for this post, I found out that this is actually debated by academia today. The Greek knew the sanctity of Sounds & the power of language, more importantly they actually respected the rites taken
Asclepius revered for his oracles at Abydos, was also known to be a magician of dreams - that's to say he inspired dreams that could then be interpreted. Egyptians were big on stylized representations of dieties, Shabti accompanied kings in death & most would have Bes in their bedroom. At the time dreams were seen as an important means of therapy, a fact that is essential for understanding the meaning of the Serapeum. In ancient times dreams were associated with healing and medicine Design was the Ankh cross with the central line split in two at the base, which some believe could be the Ankh sign of life in its very distant original form. A bull then as the symbol of life linked with the sky, linked with resurrection and better still, with ascension.
Dreams were important because this is when the astral returns to the higher self, "Night brings council " is a French saying that sums up the belief here. They considered that a dream symbol gave rise to a different meaning depending on the person. Each person was considered to have their own dream language and detailed work was done on the images and emotions of the patient. But Asclepius did not work only with the priests of his cult, he was assisted by a horde of snakes. Non-venomous snakes slithered all over the floor of the dormitories during the night and were believed to be divinities who mediated between Asclepius and the patient.
Because of the way they shed their skins, snakes were a symbol of rebirth and resurrection. ( word "life" in Chaldean is the same as for "snake", and in Arabic) It was rule, the snake had the reputation of being "invigorating" and bringing eternal youth and immortality. Not just the act itself but Asclepius had a reputation for knowing how to administer doses of poison and antidote, including snake venom, with such skill that he was able to bring the dead back to life. He was known in antiquity to be a master of resurrection thanks to his snakes. The Hopi & Dogon both use snakes in various ritual today when he was transformed into a constellation it was that of Ophiuchus, the serpent bearer.
The symbolism of snake is wisdom, health, and esoteric knowledge.
Ive spoken already about the dolichocephalous skulls found within Mayan temples, and in the ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt. These are the Shining Ones. They had the Knowledge. At Council of Nicea that ‘the powers of gods came from Egypt’. There was a Great White Brotherhood (named for their raiment), a prominent mystery school in Karnak. A branch of it became the Egyptian Therapeutate who in Judea were known as the Essenes. Jesus, being an Essene, most likely was initiated in Egypt at this mystery school, rising up the levels until he became a ‘Master’.
There were hundreds discovered in the Hypogeum, later they were stolen from the Maltese museum. Yet again, desecration of our ancestors to protect a narrative. Maltas elongated Skullsthese skulls belonged to a profoundly wise culture of ‘serpent priests’. The long head must have given a serpent like appearance stretching the eyes and skin. Personally, I think people should stay away from sites such as this which still are held sacred to this day.
Professor Walter B. Emery, an Egyptologist, discovered some dolichocephalous skulls, in Egypt. Emery believed that this ‘race’ was highly dominant aristocracy that governed entire Egypt, mixing only with the aristocratic classes and the scholar associated them with the Shemsu Hor, the disciples of Horus.
ALL Plumed serpents come from the Kushite -Apedemak lion -Serpent-Wings *the Inca Trinity puma, condor, serpent These three animals, sky, earth, and the underworld are represented. Condor, we learn, is the only bird strong enough to fly up to the heavens and deliver messages to God. Also, condor does not hunt and only eats the dead. What condor eats comes harmlessly from the earth and goes back to it. Puma has patience and strength. The snake travels to the underworld, and when it sheds its skin, is reborn, transformed.
"Plumed Serpent is born when that which slithers over the Earth grows wings to be elevated to Heaven. Quetzalcóatl is a superior man, the inner circle of humanity, the link between gods and men. All men are made of earth, air, water, and fire ... But in their hearts and in their semen, each man has his own coatl, his own serpent, the energy of Tonatiuh, the power of the sun itself. And in this serpent sleeps consciousness, in this serpent is hidden his divinity. From this serpent his wings will grow"
Snakes in all forms. The feet of a statue of Imhotep posed on beautiful painted snakes, carved cobras that covered the enclosure walls around the pyramid of Djoser(Truth, Balance) massive friezes of snakes in bas-relief found above the Serapeum, and so on - snakes everywhere. Dendera was another location that youd have found these practices, during this time it was actually called Enet-ta-ntr Temple. inscriptions Serpent Consciousness

We started dating June 2022. Met him here on reddit.
I posted here like 2 weeks ago that Im thinking my ex bf was cheatin on me, deleted that post already tho.
TLDR: Found out bf made a reddit throwaway account to find a local date. He has been posting on dating subreddits since last November till march.
Long story How i found out: friend told me she found a post on a dating subreddit about a guy who sounds like my Bf based on his post. Read the post, yep it really seems like it's him (the acc used was a throwaway/newly created one). The account has been looking for a date since November 2022. Confronted bf, he denied it, i brokeup w/ him. We remained in contact after that. He kept denying it. I was starting to believe him but then he mentioned the name of the throwaway acc, which was WEIRD because i never showed nor mentioned the account's username. Confronted him again, he denied it. He says he just happens to see the post on reddit and he remembered the username. Shit excuse, i wasnt fully convinced, but we remained in contact since there is no solid proof. Gaslighted me, that i dont trust him, im crazy, im a psycho. So movin on, i did some digging on that account, it seems like it made a post that has a link to an image and video of dogs. Guess whose dogs those are. My boyfriend's own dogs. He also made a post with a link that leads to an image of his discord profile picture. Lol. It was the most solid evidence. Confronted him about. Told him 'hey you said the account wasnt yours right? Why the fuck did he post pictures of your dogs tho? Why does he have a picture of ur discord profile picture?' I thought he would admit it this time actually, nope still denied it. Gaslit me till the end. Says i dont trust him, then i should just fuck off, im crazy, 'believe what u want'. I did fuck off. We cut contacts after that. 2 weeks of no contact right now. I have accepted the fact that he will never admit it.
It's my first time being cheated on. It's funny that you laid down all the evidence in front of them and they still deny it.
It sucks. I thought he would be the one for me. I was excited to meetup. Already planned a future with him. Im still healing right now, it still hurts a bit whenever i try to think about it. But the fact that I confirmed the cheating makes it easier for me to move on. Been trying to learn new things to help distract myself, spend time with friends. I have been played by him since last November. All this time he keeps telling me he loves me but at the same time looking for a local date on reddit. It's wild.
He broke up w/ me middle of november but remained in contact. He would still say he loves me even after the breakup. I told him i love him too and i would want the relationship again. Early January we stopped messaging each other. I finally accepted that he must really not want me. After weeks, he messaged me again late January and asked to date and I agreed. I ask myself why did he even return to me that time when he would just be looking for local girls anyway? He was posting almost every week starting nov till march on dating subs. What am i? Entertainment while he finds someone near him? It's so cruel.
There were signs that 'something was wrong' the whole time. But i chose to ignore it. I guess Gut feeling really never lies.
I had fun scrolling in this sub when we were together. Looking at happy couple's posts meeting up, hoping one day it would be our turn.
My first Long Distance relationship ends here.

The show itself was nothing less than incredible. Nothing especially new in-ring. Rather, it was about the energy created between the wrestlers and the crowd. Sayuri Namba was consistently an extremely cool person, and was vital to directing the crowd. Also in general, when TJPW is in go mode they become superhuman. Seeing them do their thing up close gave me a new level of appreciation for their balance of gaining energy from the crowd, while still having excellent execution.

• I could not believe that it was real until Miu clapped my hand / gave me a high-five. I could tell that she spends a lot of time lifting weights with those hands.
• Raku was taken aback by the force of the crowd.
• Much like DDT, the care for mat hitting sound was noticeable. A lot of spots that do not seem great on video are actually quite powerful in person. Hikari Noa's jumping clothesline, Rika Tatsumi's dragon screw, Raku's slingblade, and more are just a few examples. Itoh-chan's spots in particular are especially impactful.
• The best cheering came from the north section. I was in the northeast section. I don't recall much good coming from the east or west sections except for the opening matches and main event.
• Raku got good pops for her pillow strikes and her chops. This is also the mania week in which Yoshihiko became quite possibly the top star, so it is a good sign as a whole.
• The crowd was mysteriously cold about Wasteland War Party. I dunno what was wrong with the crowd about that. Heidi Howitzer explicitly had to ask "Are you fucking dead?"
• There are no words to describe the sheer impact of Max the Impaler.
• As expected, Itoh-chan was red hot. She got the crowd to wake the fuck up.
• The main event result kinda revealed that Miyu Yamashita would be packing her schedule too fully to defend the belt, and/or had confirmed a big opportunity.
• How am I the only person in all of mania week attendance who has a pencil army cap?

Hey everyone,
I matched with a girl on hinge around a month ago. We texted for about a week after meeting up, every time she'd send me multi-line responses and ask questions at the end but I noticed she always took 24 hours or so to respond. Since this was pretty consistent from when we first started texting I figured it's just her communication style as opposed to not showing interest. Date rolls around and it goes great, started with coffee and we both seemed to be clicking so I suggested to extend the date by checking out a small museum nearby and then later grabbing lunch. She paid for the meal and turned down my multiple attempts to try and split it which I thought was a nice gesture. We kissed before parting ways, all in all it was a pretty good first date. I texted her the usual "lmk when you have made it home safe" afterwards and then asked her out again for the following weekend.
She takes a day to respond to this, saying she'd love to but is traveling to Mexico for the next week and would be down after returning (which she told me that she gets back today, her trip was last weekend through all of this past week). Knowing that either side traveling is usually a good catalyst for losing interest or ghosting I asked her out to just watch the sunset on the Friday before her trip but prefaced it with "totally get it if you're busy packing then or have an early flight". She turned it down saying she was going to be packing then but reaffirmed interest in meeting up when she's back.
I continued texting her during the period she was supposed to be in Mexico (been more or less matching her energy by sending messages once a day or so), not knowing if she's able to send/receive actual texts in another country since it depends on carrier, foreign phone plans and whatnot. We had exchanged instagrams during the first date and I noticed that she was posting vacation pics to her story however. She responded to my text about 2.5 days later which was Tuesday, indicating that she does have cell service out there or at least texting capability in some form. I responded Wednesday night and also asked her out for Sunday (again mentioning "no worries if you're tired from the return trip" to show that I respect her time/other commitments and avoid coming off as a little pushy or desperate to meetup). Since then it's been crickets for about 60 hours.
The thing is she was posting vacation stuff on her IG story almost every day at first but not since Wednesday before I texted her. This makes me think that since then she's just gone somewhere remote and doesn't have reliable service, or just blocked me from viewing her story (highly unlikely scenario that my anxious-attachment style mind cooked up lol, chance that someone who's basically a stranger would live rentfree in her head enough to take the effort to do that is slim, also if she was going to do that it'd just make a lot more sense to block or remove me from insta entirely at that point).
So yeah idk if I am being slow faded/breadcrumbed or if I should give it a couple more days and reach out again and see if she wants to do something next weekend (at least it will be a more clear answer depending on if she responds, since as a rule of thumb in online dating "if it's not a fuck yes, it's a no"). I feel like me asking her out twice now on a more tight notice might have made me come off as too pushy and made her lose interest :/
