I havent had too many goombling/casino experiences irl and the ones i have had have all been I'm getting gilted into going to a casino tomorrow with friends/family who are in town. I dont want to feel at the end of the night and as my profile will tell you, Im bad at gambling. Particularly blackjack which is prolly what everyone will be playing socially. Any advice to avoid losing money fast or just for having a good time in a casino? Im hoping someone will explain to me how I can play like James Bond in License To Kill. Plz and thnx gang.

I'm going down to Corpus Christi and I'm going for like a couple days, and I never been to Texas when it wasn't on fire or in a state of emergency.

What's in Corpus Christi?????

I think they based Zaheer off of me

>Neurodivergent Middle Eastern man pretending to be a different race

>Dislikes women (His only targets were Earth Queen and Kora)

>Goes off on schizophrenic rants regardless of being prompted

>Hates the Government

>Achieved enlightenment when he embraced Incel ideology

The waifu is mad at me for trying to understand what I'm studying

Most of my collection in pic. The hardest plant has been the red maranta. It's always shriveling and dropping leaves. The small leaf monstera is almost as difficult, while the big leaf monstera thrives with no trouble. Some plants are multiples because I'm propagating them.

Plants are in shower because the leaves were getting dusty. Usually I water them with a can

What's you're fav plant and which one is the most frustrating?

• FB is genuinely boring and the popular posts there are geared towards millennials that want to be old and people that are actually old

• IG is just doomscroll garbage that tries to pull you in with posts that are almost funny but not quite. Also everyone can't stfu about Palestine

• YouTube is good still, actually

• Tik tok is all zoomer nonsense and even more Palestine nonsense

• Reddit is filled to the brim with argumentative, complaining, confidently stupid r-slurs

• cumtown.org stopped being funny after a few months (then momentarily again when Marfan had his last meltdown). All of the cumtown offshoot subs aren't funny.

• Voat is just people yelling "BIPOC" as loud as they can

rDrama is basically it. I can't find anything else remotely enjoyable. I hate that I have to maintain other social networks in order to maintain social connections, otherwise I would've ditched them a long time ago.

I'm not going to ask for places on the internet that don't suck. I don't they exist and if they do I don't want to know about them

Probably won't be successful because I only have his throwaway gmail account. My working theory is that he was asked to stop his online activities to focus more on his life .

I'm curious as to what happened.

!noalcohol unstructured thoughts

I never drank that much (maybe 10-15 units a week) so I haven't seen any enormous quality of life changes but I have stopped snoring and I'm sleeping better.

It helps that non-alcoholic beer is pretty good in TERF Island these days so I don't have to drink Diet Coke with every meal. It's even on tap in some places. I think Guinness 0 is better than regular Guinness, the flavours aren't overpowered by the alcohol.

I never think about drinking, I'm not tempted by it. I wish more steakhouses would do non-alcoholic red wine but it's not very nice so I can see why they don't.

I'd love to find a good non-alcoholic sipping alcohol. Like a whiskey alternative. Something peppery and spicy that's not just trying to taste like whiskey.

The first thing I did was fully grounding myself to the present, and fully developing a sense of self and all my actions coming from me.

As far as I can tell there are layers of reality perception and awareness for different humans with different conditions.

I can to a limited degree phase between these layers of reality awareness.

Here are my interpretations:

For example depressed people are half asleep through life stuck in a bad memory.

ADHD is only capable of holding onto specific pieces of data for hours at a time due to it having enough stimulation to hold them in place for a long time. Their brain finishes processing one piece of stimulation but by then another has already appeared. They cannot stay focused for boring things because their brains do not have a fully functional long term planning segment that properly connects to doing the task infront of them and this motivating them to do the task infront of them. Their brain is stimulation based.

Autisms are half dreaming in a processing data way. Think of your old computers that would be making sound when they were running something heavy. Autisms are like that. They are never fully in the moment. Constantly they are thinking about something and whenever they do that they disconnect from the present to a high degree to be running the simulation in their head. They are only half living in the present, with the other half overloaded with processing input whether it be ideas, sensitivity to their local environment, or memories. Think of it like being so focused on whats happening on your phone that whenever you look at it the rest of the environment disappears for you.

Normal people - You are supposed to be primarily just in the moment going through the moment. Your brain is not doing jumps between random pieces of data in your head randomly lighting up thoughts for you. You just go through your day. Have a thought pop up every few minutes for a second or two before your brain goes back to the present. When you do deep think while working you aren't zoning out but instead a stream of thoughts is running in your head even while you are working and aware in the present.

High functioning Normal people have the strongest concept of 'I'. They are not thinking in terms of abstract simulations but instead in terms of "I" relation world. I want. I have. I need. I think. They have the highest functioning "I" filter of the entire group, other than clinically diagnosed narcissists of course.

So what I did was I learned to be in the present and think in the background, instead of thinking and being present in the background.

Think of it like the difference between living to stay awake and sleeping from time to time, and living to dream and having to wake up from time to time.

I have figured out how to move to more solid reality.

Where a strong 'I' exists and I am constantly aware of my surroundings and the passage of time from moment to moment.

That is actually cool and fun. It now allows me to have more control over my lived reality and over my own actions and myself.

LET ME MOVE TO ANCAPISTAN NOW

i want to frick a ghost so bad

specifically for anyone who makes their own cat food, do you feed them raw or cooked beef?

follow up, what health differences have you noticed between the two and are there any risks to take into account when it comes to the cats age, amount of raw beef, or quality?

i've looked it up and google recommends against it, but at the same time the science TM says that fricking eating eggs is bad for your health so i don't trust their word.

So 7 month ago I asked a foid that studies literature if she had a bf she told no then I asked her if she wants to go out to six flag she straight ghosted me

And now 2 days ago she wrote me that she basically has no money. like b-word I asked you out 7 months ago but wrote her “I was asking you out so I would had paid but right now I can't go there”

She wrote back that she is not sure her bf would let her go out with me and that we are just friends

I wrote NP. She then sends this smile 😃 and I answered with this smile 👍 then she replied “that's it ?” I asked what does she mean. She wrote “you ain't even going to try to fight for me” ? so I ghosted her without viewing her message and today she send me message asked if I am angry at her

So b-word out of nowhere 7 months later decided she wants drama in her life

Since yesterday slots has been consistently been unwilling to give me a straight answer.

Today I asked slots if it was time for me to set my own path. It said yes.

Today I tried the tarot to guide me again as I believed I had finished the goals of the previous tarot.

The tarot today gave me the complete opposite reading of where I am in life right now letting me know it was very obviously wrong. ( All previous readings matched and gave a direction that made sense. Only after slots said it was time to set my own path did the tarot also stop working )

It is time for me to let go of the spiritual cowtools of guidance and prediction around me and make my own decisions for myself.

I will however continue to keep praying not for some secret signs of guidance, but instead for the strength and will to keep going on the path I desire to undertake, and to succeed in the choices that I make.

Free will exists, but you must claim it and stand by it. It is taken and rarely given.

We muster the strength to stand by our lives and ideals, and we suffer or succeed for it, and are in turn changed by it as we evolve and change it with experience and new foresight.

I wish you as good a fortune on your journeys as I hope for in mine.

May your judgement for your deeds good or bad on the material realm be completed on the material realm, and may you reach back into the infinite source and find peace in the purity of your soul once more separated from the material world there.

I'm currently in the Ethics region of my CFA exam and there are several applications of each code&standard.

It's basically they give you a scenario and ask you if the person/employer/firm was in violation of those codes and name the appropriate Code they were in violation of.

Interesting pattern that has come up again and again in my readings is that if the person in the given application is Caleb Smith or Lynn Parker or Ling Chan or Raj Raman, 99% of the time they are definitely in violation of the code. Whereas if their names are Shantae Williams/Alisha Singh/ Rizvi Sultana you can just blindly mark no violation and get it correct.

Just found it interesting that Asian and South Asian males don't cut the diversity quota anymore.

!nooticers

i know this is a weird place to ask, but I've been having trouble lately in this department. I think I may be taking it more seriously than my prospective dates? At least to begin with, I get all dressed up throw on the polo black like i always did. And it goes well, we'll be kissing on each other and shit but then they get mad when I turn on Netflix? I thought this was normal but i don't know

I went out looking to fill my bear tag, there's been one prowling around the area so thought I would test my luck

Get there before sunrise

And leave when the sun is coming down.

I was using my 30-06 with a 6x scope. BIG bullet on that thing lemme tell ya.

Came across this old abandoned tunnel in my travels, guess it's from when a rail line went through the woods. The rail is long gone by now tho.

Weird butt tree

Also came upon this waterfall. It rained pretty hard the night before so it was flowing fast.

I was mainly looking for bear, but I also had a buck tag that I wouldn't mind getting (mainly so I can make some venison jerky) so when a nice 6 pointer walked infront of my perch I took aim, fired... and missed. Oh well, that's why they call it hunting and not killing right? There's always next year.

An NDE is a near death experience.

I died within the dream in a plane accident.

Then the world turned black and I knew I was moving towards God to speak with him.

I rejected the chance to speak with God because I wanted to keep living for now and continue my journey.

I noticed that even though everything else was still blank and I could feel the energy of God ahead of me, I could also still feel my breathing and that meant my body was somewhere still alive.

I focused with all my might and strength to move my body to return to it and after two to three tries I finally woke up with my back slightly risen off the bed. ( This is very hard to do when you are going through a sleep paralysis episode or equivalent )

I still do not necessarily believe in a God but do accept the existence of a spiritual experience with its own feeling of fulfillment that you would generally not get from every day life. One could also redefine it as what remains after you drop away all desire or wants or needs. A more purer soul form.

My go to theory for now is that there is a pure energy source at the top that is infinite. It sends pieces of itself to experience the material world before returning to itself and merging again with new experiences and ideas and lives lived.

However, when going up there, you always have the option to keep repeating the cycle and can come back anytime to live another lifetime in the material world.

I still have no idea if there is any concept of good and bad souls up there or not. As I did not experience anything like that and didn't get anywhere close to near enough data to confirm or deny that there is supposed to be some right way to live life.

However, I have done a lot of dumb shit growing up and have my own closet full of bad life choices and mistakes and uncomfortable experiences and misery caused by ignorance to others.

So at least as long as you are above a serial killer or male feminist, I am pretty sure you still go to merge with the original source.

For serial killers and male feminists or actively malicious people I still have no idea if they also go there or there is some separate space for them or not.

All I know is I still intent to live the best life I can without the fear of an other worldly/ metaphysical judgement over my head to guide me. We must make our own choices, for better or worse.

Make of that what you will.

Also this new rifle works great. I'm getting a hit with pretty much every shot. None of the other birds are scared away either now that I have a good blind.

The woodpeckers get really excited and perch in the tree every time I put up new food

Sorry for the shitty picture I can't figure out how to remove the screen on my window

!edgelords @sandkwinn !birdposters

Okay so I used to have sleep paralysis.

I also have been dealing with numbers every single day these days.

Yesterday night I woke up from what some might consider a sleep paralysis experience.

When I managed to finally open my eyes and raise my head to look ahead I didn't see any sleep demon or anything like that ( I overcame it a while back by overcoming my fear ).

However, now instead of a sleep paralysis demon, I got a space on my curtains where random numbers kept appearing in that same space.

Like the area of the curtain where my eye would be focused on. There would be numbers popping up like 1,7,8, 13,17,12,etc.

Then I fell back asleep.

Is my brain filling up that sleep paralysis demon shaped hole with other details from my life or am I starting to go schizophrenic?

Discuss.

It's one of my favorite seasons! I love watching all the leaves twirl to the ground so I can efficiently rake them all up! Anyone else enjoy a good raking?
