2023.06.09 23:03 JoshAsdvgi The Sami story about the Northern Lights and Niekija,

The Sami story about the Northern Lights and Niekija,

The Sami story about the Northern Lights and Niekija,
the daughter of the Moon

In the old days the women did not dare to go out without a hat or a cloth on their head.
They were afraid their hair could catch fire from the Fire-fox.
The Samis imagined they could hear the Northern Lights talk.
During the faster movements of the Norther Lights no-one was allowed to make noises or talk loud.
And you could not point them with your finger either.
If you insulted the Norther Lights you could be attacked by them and punished.
A long time ago there were two reindeer herders in Lapland.
They were brothers.
The younger brother was killed by the Northern Lights, the Guovssahasat, because he had made too much noise with his yoiking and he had insulted and teased the Northern Lights. They came down on him and killed him.
The Northern Lights come in different shapes and colors and they also appear in different places of the sky.
You can also predict the coming weather from them.
High Northern Lights formed like ribbons above your head predict a switch in the weather conditions.
Flaming Northern Lights high up in the sky predict mild weather and snowfall.
If you can see them only in the north direction they predict a coming cold weather.
The red color predicts warmer weather and the white tells you it is going to be cold.
In old times the moon was named Aske in Sami land. Nowadays it is called Mánnu.
The Samis tell a story about Niekija, the daughter of the moon, who fell in love with the Northern Lights.
She was very pretty with a round face and red cheeks and her hair had the color of silver.
The story tells she shined and glittered when she moved.
One day the Sun, Beaivvás, heard about this daughter of the Moon and how beautiful she was.
The Sun thought his son, Peivalken, should travel to the land of the Moon and ask Niekija to be his wife.
As soon as Peivalken saw the beautiful Niekija he immediately fell in love with her.
He asked her: “Would you, my beautiful, fair maiden, try my golden boots on?”
Niekija was shy and got all red in her face by the question from Peivalken, but she still tried his boots on.
But the boots were hot and burned the toes of Niekija!
“Oh, how these boots burn and hurt me!” cried Niekija and run away.
Niekija escapes and hides herself and waited for the nightfall, when Mánnu, the Moon, would travel the skies.
Mánnu takes her to an island, where there was a kota, a goahti, where she could rest.
But suddenly, at midnight, someone comes in to the goahti!
It was a group of youngsters, led by the famed Náinnas, the Northern Lights.
Náinnas moved around the dark walls in the goahti.
His shadows shined like silver.
He could feel there was someone looking at him from inside the goahti.
So he cried out: “Whoever you are, show yourself to me!
If you are an old woman, you are probably my mother and if you are the same age as me you must be my sister.
If you are younger than me, you are my future fiancée!”
And Niekija answers: “It is only me! Here I am!”
And in that moment the first rays of the morning star gently pass through the goahti and Náinnas got a close look at Niekija for the first time.
Náinnas immediately falls in love with Niekija and asks her to marry him and Niekija accepts to be the wife of Náinnas, the Northern Lights.
The life together with Náinnas was lonely for Niekija in the evenings, because Náinnas had to go to his brothers in the north, to the home of the Northern Lights, every night and run and play like flames together over the skies.
Niekija would have liked to spend the evenings together with Náinnas in the goahti.
She sat in the kota alone and fabricated a blanket from reindeer hides.
She made embroideries with the Milky Way and other stars. When ready she put the blanket up in the roof of the goahti so she could see the stars twinkling in the dark sky.
The next morning Náinnas did not want to get up.
He stayed in the bed looking at the stars and he never understood, that it was time for him to go and play with his brothers in his old home.
Niekija got up early and went out but she forgot to close the door behind her.
At that moment Beaivvás, the Sun, rises early behind the mountains; red with flames.
The Sun’s rays finally reached the open door of the goahti and woke up Náinnas with his golden eyes.
Náinnas wakes up and realize it is already morning.
He could see the Bear was already pulling the Sun along the sky path.
The story goes that the Sun is pulled by the Bear in the morning.
In the middle of the day a Hirvas, male reindeer, is pulling him and in the evening a Vaadin, female reindeer, is pulling the Sun along the path of the sky.
(Ursa major=the big bear)
Náinnas wants to run away to his brothers to tell them it is time to return home already, but the Sun is waiting for him and presses him to the earth with his burning rays.
Niekija throw herself upon Náinnas to prevent the Sun to manage to keep Náinnas down.
And now Náinnas manages to escape from the rays of the Sun.
But the Sun grabs the hair of Niekija and held her captive. After that the Sun calls for Peivalken, his son.
But Niekija started to scream she hated Peivalken.
She also screams to the Sun: “You may kill me if you wish, but I will never be the wife of Peivalken!”
This got the Sun really furious and so he banished Niekija back to Mánnu, the Moon, her mother.
Mánnu took Niekija into her arms and protected her.
Niekija stayed with her mother, Mánnu.
Niekija continues to watch the sky and the Northern Lights for ever; she never more takes her eyes from Náinnas.

Description:

How I Went From $0 to Millionaire & Beyond With Real Estate Investing

What if you could take all my real estate knowledge and download it into your mind — for you to use and for you to profit from?

📷
That’s why I created this program! It’s the closest way I could do that! Elon’s Neuralink isn’t out yet, so I gotta do it this way.
For those who don’t know… I was just a regular guy working at Jamba Juice who has owned $20 million in real estate.
Real estate has changed my life.
Not many people realize that real estate investing is why I had a net worth in the millions even before I even started making any real money on YouTube.
And before you think “ahh, I don’t think I have the cash right now to build my real estate portfolio”
…remember, I started from scratch.
🔰 I came from a broken, immigrant home with divorced parents.
🔰 I left home and stepped into the world with no money.
🔰 I worked several jobs (like Jamba Juice) that left me unhappy and unfulfilled.
🔰 I saved what I could and invested every penny.
🔰 My net worth was in the millions before any significant “YouTube money”
I got into my first property at 19 and it instantly boosted my net worth by around $100,000. This was when I only had about $9,000 in the bank.
More on how I did that later…
Maybe right now investing in real estate feels out of reach.
You might be in a paycheck-to-paycheck loop.
I actually recommend that the first $20k you have you use towards real estate. Not trying to do stock options first which many of you are doing…
Read that again…
Even if your credit isn’t perfect yet, even if you have to take a higher rate, or pay mortgage insurance… you need to figure out how to get into real estate now.
This way, you can build a base where you’re controlling hundreds of thousands of dollars of net worth.
Or maybe you’re already well on your way to growing your real estate investments, but you want to learn ways to accelerate them and build more passive income?
Would it be nice if…
You could use the real estate strategies that have helped me grow my wealth even if you:
✅ Have ZERO Investing Experience.
✅ Have SOME Investing Experience.
✅ You’re Looking for Passive Income and Cashflow.
✅ You’re Looking for a Side-Hustle to Build Wealth.
✅ You’re Hunting for Deals (Including wholesaling topics!).
✅ You’re Licensed OR NOT.
✅ You Speak English (Useful Globally / Internationally).
Or you are…
✅ A Brand-New Investor ($0 Net Worth) — You’ll get my step-by-step guide.
✅ A Somewhat Experienced Investor ($25,000-250,000 Net Worth).
✅ An Experienced Investor ($250,000+ Net Worth).
✅ ALSO this is extremely useful for: Agents, brokers, lenders, CPAs, & industry members
(Your clients expect you know this; why not make it easy for you to make sure you do?)
You’ll be able to benefit from the 360+ lifetime-access lectures no matter where you are in your journey with real estate investing.
If you know me and my story, you know that I was a guy working at Jamba Juice who now has over $20 million in real estate.
I was also a busboy cleaning off plates of hamburgers at Red Robin…
When I became an adult, I stepped out into the world with pretty much zero money.
I started with nothing and have built a net worth that to me thinking about how far I’ve come – is pretty crazy.
I work now, not because I have to. I do it because I’m passionate about helping others learn from my mistakes and gain any perspectives I’ve found on my journey.
When I was making those tasty drinks for thirsty customers at Jamba Juice, I secretly plotted my escape.
I grew my skills, learned a ton, and started investing anything I could.
Even before my YouTube income, I grew my net worth into the millions through some hard work and good financial decision-making.
It’s been a while now that I could have retired and moved somewhere else with maybe a Mediterranean climate like the French Riviera or something… but I love teaching this stuff.
If I had to tell you one thing about growing your net worth, it would be this: START NOW…
Seriously.
Don’t wait any longer to learn the principles that can help you grow your income, investments, and wealth.
Start today.
You need to get on the exponential net worth curve as soon as possible. The sooner you start, the better.
You do not want to wait on this.
So if you’re wondering…
“If I wanted to start now, where would I even begin, or what would I do next?”
Well, that’s why I created this course…
To help you grow your net worth with the power of Real Estate Investing.
I break everything down for you in an organized, easy-to-understand way.
This program is about the psychology needed to succeed as a Millionaire investor for life, the art of negotiation and deal-making, and how to make passive income and cash flow.
I want everyone who goes through this program to walk away feeling confident about real estate investing, dealing with sellers and buyers, inspections, renovations, hacks and pitfalls, investing methods, tax strategies and so much more.
We’ll talk about shopping for real estate, valuations, and financing.
We’ll cover the exact steps to START today, whether you’re starting with $0 or with $1,000,000+.
If you’re already making good money, this course will help you get to that next level of wealth faster.
Maybe you even want to learn how to build generational wealth where your children’s children will benefit from your investments.
If any of this is interesting, then this course is for you.
This course will be wide-ranging covering topics for all investors including beginner, intermediate, & advanced investing topics.
  • New investors will learn ground-up knowledge from how to start AT ANY AGE (we’ll have various start points and segments to share exactly recommended courses for starting at various ages).
  • Advanced investors may benefit from a new perspective on topics they thought they were already experts on (such as negotiations, dealing with tenants and contractors, etc.).
  • About 25 to 30% of our students are international students. My aim is to teach fundamentals and principles that are applicable globally.Certainly, we might use specific examples to the United States, but if you understand the concepts, you will be able to apply them globally. This is why we say we like to teach rather than give you some cheat sheets simply to copy. People who learn this information should be able to adapt it to their local region within 20 to 30 minutes of talking to a local lender or agent.
In DOZENS OF EXCLUSIVE LECTURES, You’ll Learn My Approach To:
Crucial Economic Principles for a Strong Foundation in Real Estate.
✅ The Mentality of a Millionaire Investor.
✅ How To Start From $0, or $20k, or $150k, or $500k
✅ Special Notes for investing at 19 vs. 30 vs. 50+ years old
✅ Different Investing methods (AirBnBs, Flips, Wholesaling, and more)
✅ Finding Deals, Financing, Negotiation and Closing
✳️ New Lectures are Regularly Added (Example: Market trends or law changes).
And the goal of all this is to do it while working less, making more passive income, and finally getting onto the path to retiring early.
“You want to get to the point of getting your money to work for you as soon as you can… instead of the other way around.”
If you have little to no investments and don’t think you have the money to start now, but you really want to build your net worth… then don’t wait.
There’s no such thing as too early with this.
I know real estate can be scary.
We’ll cover everything you need to know to get on the right path and have the confidence to make the right financial decisions even if you don’t have faith in your current knowledge and skills.
And, if you are already making a high income and have investments, then you’re ahead of the game.
This course will help you get to that next level faster and can help you accelerate your net worth to reach your financial goals sooner.
This is my real life, the advice I’ve gleaned from many, the actions I’ve taken, the painful experiences and losses I’ve suffered, and the big financial wins I’ve experienced.
Also, if you’re wondering,
“But Kevin, is now a good time to invest?”
The training in this course is important no matter what the economic conditions are.
Even if the market is super heated, there are always deals to be found.
It’s about knowing where to look and what to look for.

2023.06.09 23:02 Bentalamar Advice please!

Hi guys!
I have been wanting to dumpster dive for a while. I’m a grad student and recently experienced a breakup in which my partner took everything in my apartment and my clothes.
I’m really excited about starting fresh, and before I put some money on new things I want to try the bins.
The only issue is that I have serious social anxiety. I’m really worried that someone is going to come out of a store and yell at me or somebody walking past will make fun of me or something.
Has anyone experienced these feelings- and how do you deal with them?

Toxic Rats: DJ, Scott, Trent, Sammy, Sierra
Mutant Maggots: Anne Maria, Molly, Scarlett, Geoff
Episode 08: The Treasure Island of Dr. McLean
"Last time, on Total Drama Revenge of the Island!" The recap montage opened with several RCMP helicopters flying around before cutting to the Mutant Maggots entering the mining elevator. "The players went on an impromptu to environmental coveru-uh, clean-up challenge," Sammy, DJ, and Sierra were shown running down a mineshaft, then Scott and Trent tripped on a rail, "and tried not to get a toxic make-over like everything down there." Geoff was shown struggling with Molly, both looking sickly, and a few shots followed of various mutant gophers running and squealing.
"Max came back to the island," the host continued over clips of the super villain revealing herself to Scarlett, "and E-Clone wasn't far behind," the alien was shown tackling DJ, "and after overcoming his germ phobia," Chris said as Dave was shown hitting the gopher and saving his teammates, "he voluntarily took the old heave-ho," the normal guy was shown getting hurled.
"Makes you wanna reflect, don't it?" Chris asked as the last clips finished up. "Maybe...with a cup of Chris McLean Instant Coffee," he said as the scene cut to him standing on the docks holding a mug with his face on the side. He took a sip, his eyes went wide, and he spat it out. "Bitter...better!" he quickly corrected with a forced smile. "Better than the rest." He dumped the mug out into the lake, and a fish promptly surfaced where the drink had landed and vomited in disgust.
Chris held his awkward smile for a second before regaining his composure and walking to the side. "Who will survive? Who will wish they didn't? Find out right now, on Total! Drama! Revenge, of the Island!"
XXXXX
The episode opened to a shot of the sun rising over the lake, a few seagulls calling in the distance. The camera slowly cut from close-up to close-up of the sleeping campers – Sammy and DJ, Trent, Sierra, and Scott, Scarlett and Geoff, and Molly and Anne Maria. All nine of them were sleeping on wooden rafts in their usual clothes, until the shot cut to an alarm clock tied to a buoy with large acoustic horns next to the bell. The hands struck approximately 7 o'clock, and a loud ringing sang through the morning air.
DJ bolted awake with a gasping start, and so did the others a few seconds later.
"What? Where are we?" Anne Maria asked in confusion, the camera cutting outward to show the two rafts floating next to each other and the buoy-alarm amid a mass of debris mostly consisting of wood, furniture, and waste barrels. Each raft had a signpost with their respective team logo on it – the Rats on the left; the Maggots on the right.
"No!" Sammy griped, the camera coming out even further. "Chris must've set us adrift after we went to sleep!"
"Yeah," Scott said as the camera moved behind him and Sammy, showing the island of Wawanakwa off in the distance. "Wait, I don't remember anything after dinner."
Scarlett's eyes widened in realization. "Dinner! Of course!"
\
The footage flashed to a close-up of a meal tray, held by Scarlett as she collected her dinner. The meal was a slimy pile of spaghetti, tomato sauce, butt-shaped meatballs, and feathers, plopped down onto the tray without ceremony.
The shot zoomed out to show her eyeing Chef with mild disgust.
"Turkey buttolini," Chef explained with a grin. "Enjoy your na~ap!" he said before realizing his slip-up. "Err, meal..."
Scarlett just pursed her lips at the man as he laughed darkly to himself.
\
The scene flashed back to the Maggots. "Turkey makes you woozy, so mutant turkey can easily knock us all out," Scarlett deduced.
The focus moved to Trent, still sleeping peacefully on the raft.
"He can't be sleeping forever," Scott said as the camera moved to show him looking down on his teammate. "Come on! Get up!" he said as he bent down and picked Trent up.
Trent opened his eyes. "How did we even get here?" he asked before smiling at Scott. "Hey Scott."
Confessional: Trent
"Scott's really cool. I think we made a great connection these past few days. Either way, it'll be hard for me to vote anyone off the team," Trent said.
Confessional: Scott
"Trent makes me feel weird, and it feels good. I like the feeling, but it's distracting. I have to get rid of it somehow," Scott said.
Confessionals End
The scene cut back to the Mutant Maggots on their raft.
"I'm never gonna eat turkey again!" Geoff said to Anne Maria. "That food can knock you out!"
"Not as much as I'm gonna knock Chef out for serving us this," Anne Maria replied back.
"Take it easy. We're still alive and all," Geoff calmed her down.
Anne Maria took in a deep breath. "Alright, but I'm avoiding breakfast until further notice."
The shot cut over to Scarlett, who was pulling Molly aside. The indie chick raised an eyebrow and the quiet brainiac leaned in close and whispered "Have you noticed how close Anne Maria is getting with Geoff ever since he switched to our team?"
"I'd have to be blind to not notice," Molly remarked.
"With that as the matter of hand, I'd suggest us joining forces if they'll be cooped up with one another," Scarlett said.
Molly raised her eyebrow. "Even so, we have four members on the team after Dave's elimination last episode."
"I know that, and we'd have to convince them to vote individually for both of us," Scarlett strategized. "That way, we can easily target one of them."
"I do work alone, but I also want to save my butt from being eliminated," Molly said back. "You've got a deal."
Confessional: Molly
"Scarlett's not exactly my go-to as an ally, but given we're both closed off, and I don't have Dave to talk to anymore, we might as well stick together," Molly accepted.
Confessional: Scarlett
"We're nearing the merge, and that means I must analyze the remaining contestants and see their strengths and weaknesses," Scarlett smiled in satisfaction.
"Trent and DJ are major physical and social threats. The sooner they are eliminated, the better. Sierra and Scott are wild cards, though I sense Scott has more intelligence."
"Sammy and Geoff are fit and in good shape, but I'll save them for later as they can't outscore me in intelligence. And as for Anne Maria and Molly, they're average in every single way. Going up against them in the finale will be beneficial to winning," the brainiac finished proudly.
Confessional Ends
The static cut away to a shot of the rafts from a perspective a little higher, a little further away, and at a right angle to where the camera had been before. The roar of engines and the honk of a horn heralded the arrival of Chris and Chef from the right, the two men riding jet skis and wearing life jackets.
"Morning, suckers!" Chris greeted with an exuberant grin. "How'd you enjoy your turkey buttolini?"
"I've eaten better," Sierra said, irritated. "It tasted good and didn't knock people out cold enough for you to kidnap them."
"I'm sure you have," Chris replied teasingly.
"And what's with all the kidnappings?" Sierra continued. "You can simply ask us to meet you someplace like a normal person, not lock us in extremely cold trucks or do this."
"Because," Chris answered, "that wouldn't be good for ratings. As Total Drama's biggest fan, I thought you'd already know that?"
Sierra narrowed her eyes at the host.
Confessional: Sierra
Sierra was shown to be feeling furious. "Okay, mom? I know how hard it is to end a crush, but he's a total jerkface! When I come home, the Chris McLean museum/guest room better be destroyed!" the uberfan hissed lowly.
Confessional Ends
Chris regained his usual demeanor, "First thing's first: If any of you are still trying to find that McLean Brand Invincibility Sculpture I hid at the beginning of the season," he announced, taking out a photograph of the head in question, "you can stop now. Somebody's already found it," he said, dropping the picture into the lake.
The contestants were all upset and angry about the news. "And speaking of digging things up, today's challenge is all about winning the ultimate reward: Life, itself!" His tone became deeper and more dramatic as he made his declaration. "Your first challenge is to race to the shore, by any means possible." The camera panned over to the island in the distance. "First team there wins a handy reward. Last team gets a heinous penalty, before you embark on a quest for buried treasure."
"You're using us to dig up buried treasure?" Trent asked. "That's just weak."
"There was treasure here once, but I found it years ago," Chris emphasized. "How do you think I bought the island?"
"It must've been a small treasure," Trent mumbled to himself.
"I thought it was through all your movies and songs you put out before becoming a host, and I own a hundred of them," Sierra smirked.
Chris' brow shot up in shock, and Chef snickered behind him. "Just get moving already!" the host demanded, backing up his jetski then speeding away with Chef.
"I thought Sierra liked Chris, but now she's insulting him?" Sammy asked DJ.
"She must've seen how rotten he is both on the inside and outside," DJ quipped.
Confessional: Sammy
"Mocking someone who's the host of the show is definitely a risky move," Sammy admitted. "Sierra will be lucky if she doesn't get disqualified."
Confessional Ends
"Are you all just gonna stand there or are you gonna come help me pry this off?" Anne Maria asked, the shot cutting to her trying to break the rigid signpost.
"What? Oh, yeah. Sorry, Anne Maria," Geoff said, quickly turning around and moving to help her with Scarlett and Molly following right behind. All of them grabbed on to the sign and pulled, and after a moment of effort, the post snapped at the bottom.
"I use poles for canoeing back home," Molly said as she held the broken sign, "but we can use this to paddle to shore."
"I'll do the paddling, girls," Geoff volunteered, taking the broken sign from her. "I can kick this raft into high gear!"
"Be sure to take caution while you do so," Scarlett said. "There are sharks in the water."
The focus shifted over to the Rats, who were watching their rivals. "We have to do what they're doing," Sammy suggested.
Sierra put one hand on the top of their sign, bending it slightly, then snapped it with a swift kick.
"That was excessive, but we can row now," DJ said as he took the sign.
Confessional: Trent
"Using that sign will be much better than using my guitar as a paddle," Trent said. "It wouldn't flow well in water."
Confessional Ends
The focus cut back to the Maggots and it heralded the start of challenge music, and Geoff began to row with his sign-paddle. "We need to put some distance between us and the Rats!" Scarlett ordered. "Stroke like you mean it!"
The camera cut outward, revealing that DJ's own paddling was keeping the Rats about neck-and-neck with the Maggots, and the shot focused in on them. "Not to be a downer, but we need more than just DJ on this," Trent said.
"If we want to catch up, we'll have to get in the water and kick," Sierra realized.
"No way!" Scott protested. "Remember the shark?" He got shoved into the water courtesy of Sierra.
"The faster we get to shore, the faster we won't be eaten," Trent said, walking to the back of the raft and jumping into the lake. Sammy and Sierra then dived in as well.
"Fine," Scott gave in and pushed the raft with the other three.
\
The scene cut to the Maggots, Anne Maria and Molly and Scarlett standing near the back of their raft as Geoff continued to paddle them forward. A whoop of excitement caught their attention, and the shot zoomed out to show the Rats' raft moving ahead quickly in the foreground.
"That's it," Molly said in an upset tone. "We need to paddle and push the raft at the same time."
"Into the water!" Scarlett immediately commanded and dived into the lake alongside Molly while Anne Maria lingered with Geoff. "You too, Anne Maria."
"You know," Anne Maria said, "Geoff should be in the back with you guys. His legs are better suited for kicking."
The shot cut to Geoff as he paused his paddling. "My calves are toned now that you mention it."
"I'll agree to this, but you have to be the one that paddles now," Scarlett told Anne Maria.
Geoff handed Anne Maria the sign post and dived in shortly after and the camera lingered on Anne Maria paddling the raft.
Confessional: Geoff
"I do a lot of leg exercises, and my legs never let down if I need them for a race or for swimming," Geoff summarized.
Confessional Ends
"Keep kicking your feet and we'll be on shore!" DJ told his team, but stopped abruptly along with his team's raft as it smacked into something that sounded pink and fleshy. He looked warily ahead, the camera panning on to his reflection in the massive yellow eye of a truly gigantic octopus that was resting just below the surface with only the top of its head in view.
It shuddered, then bellowed deeply and angrily and lifted its tentacles out of the water. DJ and his teammates screamed in terror.
The shot cut to the sky above, where Chris and Chef were watching the challenge unfold in their helicopter. "Awww, it's playing with them," the host laughed.
\
The focus moved back to the Rats, all five now on the raft with Sierra holding their sign post and DJ being held captive in one of the octopus's many tentacles. The shot cut to Sierra as she screamed "Let go of my teammate!" and swung at the tentacle several times, only to repeatedly hit DJ in the face.
The camera focused on the captive brickhouse, and his face looked more bruised with each whack. "You're hitting me!" DJ wailed with every whack.
"Giant squid dead ahead!" Anne Maria yelled as the focus cut over to the Maggots' raft floating a little ways away.
"Keep it down," Scarlett hissed, her eyes still locked forward. "We should be able to sneak by it if it's focused on the Rats."
"You might want to look behind you," Molly fearfully pointed at a circling shark fin.
The shark circled around to the front and jumped onto the raft, revealing itself as Fang. As the mutant grinned menacingly at Anne Maria, she held up her sign-paddle in front of her.
The camera briefly cut to Geoff frozen in fear, and when Fang jumped into the water, he screamed and swam around the raft in a circle screaming "Shark! Shark!"
"This is just going to get us killed!" Molly hissed.
As this went on, Anne Maria became frustrated. She held the sign above her head and slammed it down on Fang, causing the shark to be sent flying off-screen.
"Thanks for the save," Geoff said as he got back on the raft.
"Now you owe me twice for saving you twice," Anne Maria replied.
Confessional: Anne Maria
"Technically, I didn't make the gopher go away, but I prevented it from attacking Geoff, so I'd consider that a save," Anne Maria prided.
Confessional Ends
The shot cut to the Rats, all of them being held captive by the octopus. Then, to the shock of the team, Fang flew into the octopus's eye. It shuddered and bellowed in pain, then dropped its captives into the water as Fang sank down.
The camera panned right to show the Rats resurfacing away from the octopus.
"Let's get out of here while we still can!" Sammy shouted, diving into the water with Trent following shortly after.
"Hurry!" Trent shouted as he and Sammy hastily swam off towards the right, with Scott, Sierra, and DJ quickly joining them.
\
The scene flashed back to the Maggots, all of them now on the raft.
"Okay," Molly whispered back to her teammates, "I think we're clear now."
Their raft promptly rammed into something. She turned around, and yelped as the shot zoomed out to reveal the angered giant octopus surfacing in front of them.
"That doesn't look clear," Anne Maria told her fearfully as they scrambled to the back of the raft.
"Now how are we going to escape this?" Scarlett griped.
Geoff was lost in thought until an idea came to his head. "Wait a minute! I have an idea! Get as far back as you can!"
Geoff made his way to the squid and faced him. "I bet you can't even smash us with your jelly fins, Octo-Guy!" the party boy mocked and grinned at the octopus.
The octopus raised a tentacle high and curled it almost into a fist while Geoff's teammates gasped and spoke in fear at the same time.
The curled-up tentacle suddenly sprouted several large spikes, and the three Maggots at the back of the raft screamed...
And then the footage and music ground to a halt, a 'pause' symbol appearing over the slightly-faded scene. "Will Geoff's shouting outsmart the octopus's punching?" Chris asked, standing up in front of the paused screen wearing a hat shaped like an octopus head and tentacles. "And what's up with Sierra? Find out, after the break," he finished, crossing his arms coolly.

2023.06.09 23:01 Fancy-Blueberry-1695 29M - Thinker - Unveiling the Enigma of Human Nature: Join me on an Intellectual Adventure through the Human Realm

Hey, I'm Dave, a fervent psychologist and therapist on a quest to unravel the mysteries of human nature. If you're a intellectually stimulating, boundary-pushing individual, come join me for an extraordinary adventure.
About Me:
• A passionate psychologist and therapist, obsessed with comprehending the intricacies of human behavior and the workings of the human mind.
• Inspired by the profound wisdom of influential thinkers such as Freud, Jung, and a myriad of other great minds who've dared to explore the uncharted territories of the human psyche.
• Rejecting the shallows of small talk, I crave genuine connections and deep engagement, where conversations transcend superficiality and dive into the depths of our existence.
Who I'm Looking For:
• Curious souls, hungry for knowledge and eager to explore a diverse range of philosophies and ideas, ready to embark on an intellectual odyssey.
• Radiators of positive energy, who strive for personal growth and embrace the transformative power of knowledge and self-reflection.
• Captivating storytellers, unafraid to challenge conventional thinking, and ignite profound discussions that inspire us to see the world through different lenses.
• Unapologetically authentic individuals, embarking on a journey of self-discovery, celebrating their unique identities.
What We'll Do:
• Engage in mind-bending conversations that plumb the depths of our consciousness, where thoughts intertwine, and new insights emerge.
• Dive into the realms of philosophy, psychology, and other captivating subjects that ignite the flames of curiosity and expand our intellectual horizons.
• Forge a universe of shared interests, where we can support each other's personal growth, share experiences, and revel in the beauty of intellectual stimulation.
• Challenge and inspire one another, pushing the boundaries of our understanding, and reaching new heights of insight and self-awareness.
If you're prepared to break free from the mundane and join me on this exhilarating journey, leave a comment or send me a message. While all races are welcome, I hold a particular fascination with Asian cultures, so if you belong to this tapestry of heritage, I am especially intrigued to connect and explore the world of intellectual stimulation together!
Stay extraordinary,
Dave
P.S. If you shy away from unfiltered honesty or prefer the comfort of your comfort zones, this post may not resonate with you. Let's keep our interactions authentic and venture together into the wonders of human nature!

2023.06.09 23:01 MoistBase This is my sci-fi Avatar universe fan fiction pitch

There's an advanced, secret society of air benders that are able to manipulate earth's atmosphere.
They use modern paragliders, equipped with navigation displays, to reach high altitudes where they can’t be seen, on to floating platforms on air ships in the sky.
These floating platforms are powered through meditating groups of air benders on the ship.
This group uses meditative chanting to coordinate their movements in order to manipulate weather and create catastrophic storms, similar to Balinese Kecak.
They all wear skin tight clothing for aerodynamic efficiency. It is also bulletproof.
All benders and non-benders exist together in mainstream society, and their cooperation offers a natural system of checks and balances for political and environmental sustainability. They are generally unaware of the advanced air benders.
Sometimes the Avatar is corrupt.
This takes place after TLOK.

2023.06.09 22:58 Physical-Primary-256 Law enforcement seems weird to me…

In GoF, you have people in death eater masks harassing and abusing muggles (including children) and then the dark mark is shot into the sky. These are meant to be some of the most evil wizards and the most evil mark, literally committing a crime in front of the international wizarding community.
Why didn’t they arrest and question every known former death eater. They know who was a death eater, they know the attendees of the game, and yet they don’t bring them in for questioning? They don’t ask witnesses if they saw said people around? They don’t use veritaserum during the interrogation?
This is also in front of the world wizarding community, who would be shocked and disgusted by the British ministry unable to provide proper security or catch the culprits at a giant international sporting match.

2023.06.09 22:57 AustralianChrono Chronologica's Drag Race Season 4: Episode 10- Lovers: The Musical

Chronologica's Drag Race Season 4: Episode 10- Lovers: The Musical
Roar!
Aguacate jumps up into the air, before hitting the floor with a fiery expression, like a Lion ready to pounce into action.
You're on the frontline, everyone's watching
Granny raises her hands in the air, soaking the moment with a smile upon her face, her steely gaze fixed on the judges.
Your time to shine, don't wait in line, y vamos por todo
Aguacate takes out a soccer ball as she lip syncs, kicking it through the air as Floss Michaels catches it from the judges table.
Waka waka, eh, eh
Spinning and twirling around, Granny buzzes with energy and excitement as she dances and prances with her own flair.
Zonk' iZizwe masibuye 'cause this is Africa (Africa, Africa...)
Aguacate is having fun with it, and she’s electric. Each and every second she has the quirky flair that Aguacate does best. Expression, power and FUN!
Zama qhela
Raising her hands in the air, Aguacate cheers, taking out a Mexican Flag as the song ends, the judges cheering.
“What the fuck.” Jaslene whispers.

Aguacate, Shantay you stay.
Aguacate bows.
Granny Gorgeous…
Granny smiles.
You are a star. I cannot wait to see how you turn out… all grown up. But for now… sashay, away.
“I am so happy.” Granny tears up. “I thought my life would end after my love died. This has proven… it’s just begun.”
Everyone claps as Granny struts off. “And I sashay… AWAY!”
Granny Gorgeous: “To make it to the latter half of this season is a pleasure. I feel as if I have given everything- and I know this is just the beginning.”
Lipstick Message: “I love you all! Granny says… SLAY IT!”
~

The racers enter the werkroom.
“Granny… gone… just.” Yasmin laughs. “Whoops. Bad joke!”
“Granny not so Gorgeous.” Aguacate smirks, wiping the mirror.
Aguacate: “I have lip synced for my life. And I am now… another one of those girls who has lip synced.” Aguacate growls. “I was supposed to be perfection!”
“How does it feel, joining the lip sync club, Aguacate?” Jaslene raises an eyebrow.
“Well, unlike you and Zazu, I don’t plan to REPEAT this.” Aguacate laughs.
“Now why am I in it?” Zazu gasps.
The three chuckle, sitting down.
“Congrats to you, Jaslene… for a win.” Aguacate shrugs. “Your second, which, great of you to catch up-”
Jaslene playfully rolls her eyes.
“How am I, do you ask?” Aguacate purses her lips. “Well…”
King Omari Star: “Aguacate…”
“Simply put- as a star, you must have a moment of loss of faith. You crumble- before the Gods themselves, and then- YOU PULL YOURSELF OUT.” Aguacate snaps her fingers. “So I’m doing it.”
King Omari Star: “She’s the star of her own telenovela, best you believe it.”
The screen slows down as Aguacate continues to monologue, as a rose petal effect cascades down the screen.
“It’s the heroes journey.” Aguacate smiles.
“I love that you think you’re the hero.” Yasmin adds.
Everyone gasps, laughing except Fiore, who just remains silent.
“Darling, it’s top 6- why are you sour?” Aguacate turns to stare at Fiore.
Suddenly, the music stops from the flowy telenovela to a gritty, rough sound.
“I…. I am displeased. I am not displeased. Actually, I’m full of rage.” Fiore growls. “I have come here to deliver HIGH-CLASS DRAG. I am an ACTRESS. I am a WINNER. And I have worked long and hard just to nearly went home on a makeover challenge? A challenge I believe I performed gorgeously in just because of… me not letting loose????” Fiore shakes her head. “A-And that judge. Lady Lucy Vuitton one.”
“Sister of the legendary Louise Vuitton.” Aguacate says giggling.
“She dare insult my drag like, what?” Fiore looks at the others. “Seriously? What does SHE know, calling it SOULLESS with that crunchy dry, quote-on-quote, blonde wig of a disaster that she wore tonight.” Fiore throws a pillow. “I will not be rudely criticized someone who clearly couldn’t blend in that line… down someone’s neck.”
“Jesus.” Jaslene tries to hold in a laugh at Fiore’s shade. .
“And it’s just frustrating- it makes me mad that I aspire for clean, precise perfection in every aspect of my drag. I don’t see many hitting, no offense to your sharpie drag Aguacate, but even with that I’m still delivering middle of the road to the panel, and like-“ Fiore starts going on a tangent but then starts to walk out. “Sorry, I can’t do this right now.”
“Yikes.” Yasmin says.
“Well…” Aguacate smiles. “Back to me.”
King Omari Star: “Everyone thinks they are the star of their own story. But I know this- I’m going with a journey, the waters are lovely… and we’re going to the tail end of the race. So the question is… which star will shine brightest?”
“So much fun.” Yasmin clasps her hands.
King Omari Star: “Well, only one of us has a star in his name.” Omari smirks.
~
The Next Day, Yasmin brings out coffees, as a sheepish Fiore sits alone.
“You ok?” Zazu smiles.
“I’m here.” Fiore shrugs, before turning to face Yasmin. “...Did you make coffee?”
“Is this a venti?” Zazu gasps.
“Wait…” Omari looks confused. “These cups have.. Raiz branded on them?”
“I monogrammed my own coffee cups.” Yasmin smiles.
“Can you make one that says Aguacate on it?” Aguacate turns.
“Woah, this is kinda…” Jaslene sips. “Oh my god.”
“I LOVE coffee.” Yasmin blushes.
You’ve got drag mail!
I love love. Do you love it?
“Love?” Fiore raises an eyebrow.
It’s Drag Time!
Hi Racers!
For today’s mini challenge, it’s time for a disco dance party!
~
Zazu Nova, you’re our winner baby!
“I won!” Zazu cheers.
Racers, it’s time for you to play parts in Lovers: The Musical!
Jaslene smirks.
For this week’s maxi challenge, you will be teamed up in the lip sync musical, where you will perform your ass off as a set of historical LOVERS!
Zazu Nova: “A musical?! Yes, I am ready for my singing moment!”
Zazu, as mini challenge winner, you get to assign pairs.
“Oooh!” Zazu smiles. “I’ll take Omari.”
Omari chuckles. “Okay…”
Zazu Nova: “Yes, we’ve struggled- but I know we can perform well together. Every DANCE moment together has been good.” Zazu winks.
“The funny girls…” Zazu smiles. “Yasmin and Aguacate.”
The two wink.
And that leaves… Jaslene and Fiore!
The two look at each other. “Well.”
Jaslene Bangus: “Seriously, Zazu?”
Good luck racers… and do not FUCK IT UP!
~
The racers sit down and look at the roles.
“Soooo…” Zazu smiles. “These are the roles.”
“JFK and Jackie O. Romeo and Juilet. Antony and Cleopatra.” Yasmin purses her lips.
Everyone looks over, before Jaslene raises her hand.
“Zazu, I have a question.” Jaslene says.
“Oh, sure!” Zazu smiles.
“Have you set me up by putting us together?” Jaslene purses her lips. “Because real talk… I haven’t received a single word from her.”
Fiore rolls her eyes. “We haven’t decided how to play it yet.”
“So… if you set me up, girl, own it. But if you didn’t, well… Girl, if you aren’t giving cunt…” Jaslene looks at Zazu. “Maybe you’re just silly.”
“I’m a water sign, I’m giving FISH.” Zazu winks, before stopping. “...I didn’t realize. I thought it was a solid pairing, sorry.”
“Mmmmhm.” Fiore says sarcastically.
“We’ll make it work.” Jaslene responds.
“JFK is my favorite, because, talk about a man with a good shot in the head!” Yasmin laughs. “So I’d like that role! To be the gorgeous first lady, her man by her side..”
Omari stares in horror.
Aguacate: “That is CLEARLY a role one is favored over the other. I do not want that.”
“Actually…” Aguacate raises her hand. “For me, I’d actually like ANTONY and CLEOPATRA.”
“Oh, sure.” Yasmin nods. “I’ll take it.”
Yasmin Raiz: “This is a team challenge, and I want to do it smooth- and efficiently.”
“I’d really think we do well with Romeo and Juilet.” Omari grins. “It’s a classic stereotype, but…”
“It’s a good one.” Zazu winks.
“And that leaves… JFK and Jackie.” Zazu smiles.
“I’ll take Jackie.” Fiore responds, grabbing the book.
“Let’s make it work.” Jaslene nods.
~
The teams start practicing their roles.
“So… we’re ANTONY and Cleopatra.” Aguacate smiles.
“Woo!” Yasmin cheers.
“I want us to be the most extravagant, most over the top artists of all time.” Aguacate smiles.
“Ooooh…” Yasmin nods.
Yasmin Raiz: “I am aware me and Aguacate are not the PERFORMERS of the cast. We’re not Jaslene or Zazu- lip sync assassins. But I am quietly confident.” Yasmin winks.
“To me, you seem like you could be a Roman General.” Aguacate grins. “I want the chaos of CLEOPATRA…”
“I feel like I can do either role, either way.” Yasmin says. “The same with the JFK and Jackie O. I can do this another way, either way- I’m versatile.”
“I heard that about you.” Aguacate smirks, before stopping. “You've mentioned it again.”
“...What?”
“Clearly, you wanted that role. You didn’t fight for it.” Aguacate purses her lips. “Why?”
“Because I believe we can do it either way.” Yasmin says. “I’ve been consistent, I’ve been showing up-”
“Where are you girl?” Aguacate asks. “I don’t see it. Consistent is good, but girl, we’re here to STEAL the show.”
Yasmin raises an eyebrow.
“Yell bitch, tell me how you want it.” Aguacate screams. “I want to be here till the end, DO YOU?!”
“I do!” Yasmin nods.
Agucate looks at Yasmin. “Show it.”

“Well, we’re here.” Fiore looks at Jaslene.
Fiore Stravaganza: “I’m paired… yet… yet again.” Fiore growls.
“I don’t want to work with you.” Jaslene says. “But we must.”
"You know what, Jaslene? I don't want to work with you either! But we have no choice, so let's just get this over with and win."
“You’re the one who's been complaining- and almost left.” Jaslene growls, before narrowing her eyes. "Let's just pretend to be the loving, passionate couple on stage, while we're at each other's throats offstage."
The music starts, and Jaslene springs into action, hitting each and every move, until Fiore arrives- and very quickly, very clearly, Fiore is struggling.
“Ugh…” Fiore exhales, walking off the stage.
“Let’s do it.” Jaslene looks at Fiore. “Come on.”
"Damn it, Jaslene! Can't you give me a break? You're making me look like a fool up there!" Fiore's voice cracks.
"I'm doing my part, Fiore. Maybe if you focused more on actually learning the steps and less on complaining, you wouldn't look like such a fool."
"Oh, I'm sorry if I'm not as perfect as you, Miss Lip Sync Assassin!” Fiore snaps.
“You’re the one who abandoned the AE Girls!” Jaslene yells back.
“What does that have to do with anything?!” Fiore's eyes narrow. "First off, I didn't abandon anyone! I've been focused on winning this competition and giving my all to every challenge. Unlike you, who seems to be more interested in stirring up drama and picking fights."
"Don't you dare try to twist this around on me, Fiore. I've been nothing but supportive to everyone here, including you. But all you care about is yourself and your precious victory."
Fiore scoffs. "Oh please, spare me the holier-than-thou act. I've seen through your facade from day one. You're just as self-centered as the rest of us, maybe even more so."
Jaslen steps forward. "You have no idea what I've been through, what I've sacrificed to be here. You think you're so superior with your acting skills and your high-class drag, but let me tell you something, Fiore: talent alone doesn't make you a good person or a good friend."
Fiore sighs. "I never said I was a good person or a good friend, Jaslene. But at least I'm honest about who I am. I've been laser-focused on this competition because it's my chance to prove myself, to show the world what I'm capable of. And if that means I've been distant or cold, then so be it."
“Let’s just do this challenge.” Jaslene exhales.
“Now that I can agree with.” Fiore sighs.

Zazu and Omari walk onto the stage.
“Let’s hold hands and talk about our feelings.” Zazu smiles.
“...Jesus Christ.” Omari whispers under his breath, before chuckling. “Okay, let’s have fun with it.”
“Yes!” Zazu grins.
“I can do the choreo.” Omari nods. “Like romeo…” Omari drops to his knees, twirling. “Spin.”
“Juilet SPINS!” Zazu drops to the floor, spinning.
“I leap.” Omari leaps, and the words start.
Zazu hits every single line, and Omari looks in surprise.
“I shouldn’t be surprised… but damn.” Omari exhales. “You’ve got it.”
“You got the choreo, I’ve got this for us.” Zazu smiles. “We good?”
“Of course, I’m great.” Omari grins.
“What star sign are you?” Zazu pouts.
“... I am Pisces.”
“Oh my GOD, I am a Pisces!” Zazu yells. Zazu grabs Omari's hands and looks into his eyes with excitement.
“Oh-”
"Omari, this is fate! We're both Pisces, which means we're connected by the stars. We're meant to be partners in this challenge, not just on stage but in our emotions too. Let's dive deep into the depths of our characters and express all the love, longing, and passion they embody!" Zazu yells. “You don’t have to lie. This challenge is…”
“Scary?” Omari says. “That the journey is non-linear, that I don’t have a second win yet, that I don’t have a solo win…”
Zazu smiles. "Omari, my dear, dear Pisces. Embrace the unknown, for that is where true growth lies. This challenge is an opportunity for you to break free from your stoic shell and reveal the depths of your emotions. You have a vulnerability within you, and I believe it's time to let it shine."
Omari looks at Zazu. “Yes, I am nervous and perhaps this journey has been harder then I expected.”
Zazu clicks her fingers.
"It’s like I’ve said, I've always been guarded with my emotions. It's how I've protected myself all these years. But maybe... maybe it's time to let go of that guard, even just for a moment."
Zazu grins. "Yes! Let the stars guide you. Use the energy of this challenge to tap into your true emotions. Allow yourself to feel, to express, and to connect."
Omari takes a deep breath and grins. "Alright, Zazu. I'll trust your guidance. Let's make this performance unforgettable."
“PISCES ELEGANZA!” Zazu cheers.
~
The racers chat as they get ready for the main stage challenge.
“So, does anyone have any idea what they’d like to do with the crowning money, if they were to win this season?” Yasmin smiles.
“$100,000…” Zazu’s eyes light up.
“I’ve already made $10,000…” Aguacate smirks. “I cannot wait to make another $115,000.”
“115?” Jaslene says, confused.
“This, next week, the week after that. Final 3.” Aguacate grins.
“Gosh, I don’t even plan for those things…” Jaslene chuckles.
“Same.” Yasmin smiles. “I’m here for the ride…”
Aguacate looks at Yasmin.
“But you know, I’m here to win and give my all too, so that’s good to know.” Yasmin chuckles, as Aguacate nods.
“For me, this money would go back to my community- with some for myself.” Omari nods. “I value the scene, and- the reality is there isn’t much. I am one of a few Kings- in a scene with a few drag artists. I want the power to be invested back in it.”
“I feel the same.” Yasmin smiles. “The scene in Guyana isn’t like those more- mainstream countries. I will support and guide others, so people know- we’re here, we’re queer, get used to it.”
“Fuck yeah.” Omari snaps his fingers in agreement.
“I will use it for myself, and my girls.” Jaslene smiles. “We’re all supportive of each other- my drag sisters and me. And I want them to feel the love.”
“I’ve got the same idea for my drag mom.” Zazu nods. “She’s saved me, and I’d love to help her.”
Fiore nods, looking over.
“I’d love to help my parents.” Aguacate looks in the mirror. “I think- I think they’d need it.”
“Think?” Omari asks.
Aguacate shrugs, clearly not interested in continuing further.
“Either way, this competition, this moment- we’re all going away, with money, pride- and the ability to change our lives, forever.” Fiore glares into the mirror.
“Exactly.” Yasmin smiles.
The 6 look at each other, ready for the night ahead.

2023.06.09 22:57 AustralianChrono Chronologica's Drag Race Season 4: Episode 10- Lovers: The Musical

Chronologica's Drag Race Season 4: Episode 10- Lovers: The Musical
Roar!
Aguacate jumps up into the air, before hitting the floor with a fiery expression, like a Lion ready to pounce into action.
You're on the frontline, everyone's watching
Granny raises her hands in the air, soaking the moment with a smile upon her face, her steely gaze fixed on the judges.
Your time to shine, don't wait in line, y vamos por todo
Aguacate takes out a soccer ball as she lip syncs, kicking it through the air as Floss Michaels catches it from the judges table.
Waka waka, eh, eh
Spinning and twirling around, Granny buzzes with energy and excitement as she dances and prances with her own flair.
Zonk' iZizwe masibuye 'cause this is Africa (Africa, Africa...)
Aguacate is having fun with it, and she’s electric. Each and every second she has the quirky flair that Aguacate does best. Expression, power and FUN!
Zama qhela
Raising her hands in the air, Aguacate cheers, taking out a Mexican Flag as the song ends, the judges cheering.
“What the fuck.” Jaslene whispers.

Aguacate, Shantay you stay.
Aguacate bows.
Granny Gorgeous…
Granny smiles.
You are a star. I cannot wait to see how you turn out… all grown up. But for now… sashay, away.
“I am so happy.” Granny tears up. “I thought my life would end after my love died. This has proven… it’s just begun.”
Everyone claps as Granny struts off. “And I sashay… AWAY!”
Granny Gorgeous: “To make it to the latter half of this season is a pleasure. I feel as if I have given everything- and I know this is just the beginning.”
Lipstick Message: “I love you all! Granny says… SLAY IT!”

The racers enter the werkroom.
“Granny… gone… just.” Yasmin laughs. “Whoops. Bad joke!”
“Granny not so Gorgeous.” Aguacate smirks, wiping the mirror.
Aguacate: “I have lip synced for my life. And I am now… another one of those girls who has lip synced.” Aguacate growls. “I was supposed to be perfection!”
“How does it feel, joining the lip sync club, Aguacate?” Jaslene raises an eyebrow.
“Well, unlike you and Zazu, I don’t plan to REPEAT this.” Aguacate laughs.
“Now why am I in it?” Zazu gasps.
The three chuckle, sitting down.
“Congrats to you, Jaslene… for a win.” Aguacate shrugs. “Your second, which, great of you to catch up-”
Jaslene playfully rolls her eyes.
“How am I, do you ask?” Aguacate purses her lips. “Well…”
King Omari Star: “Aguacate…”
“Simply put- as a star, you must have a moment of loss of faith. You crumble- before the Gods themselves, and then- YOU PULL YOURSELF OUT.” Aguacate snaps her fingers. “So I’m doing it.”
King Omari Star: “She’s the star of her own telenovela, best you believe it.”
The screen slows down as Aguacate continues to monologue, as a rose petal effect cascades down the screen.
“It’s the heroes journey.” Aguacate smiles.
“I love that you think you’re the hero.” Yasmin adds.
Everyone gasps, laughing except Fiore, who just remains silent.
“Darling, it’s top 6- why are you sour?” Aguacate turns to stare at Fiore.
Suddenly, the music stops from the flowy telenovela to a gritty, rough sound.
“I…. I am displeased. I am not displeased. Actually, I’m full of rage.” Fiore growls. “I have come here to deliver HIGH-CLASS DRAG. I am an ACTRESS. I am a WINNER. And I have worked long and hard just to nearly went home on a makeover challenge? A challenge I believe I performed gorgeously in just because of… me not letting loose????” Fiore shakes her head. “A-And that judge. Lady Lucy Vuitton one.”
“Sister of the legendary Louise Vuitton.” Aguacate says giggling.
“She dare insult my drag like, what?” Fiore looks at the others. “Seriously? What does SHE know, calling it SOULLESS with that crunchy dry, quote-on-quote, blonde wig of a disaster that she wore tonight.” Fiore throws a pillow. “I will not be rudely criticized someone who clearly couldn’t blend in that line… down someone’s neck.”
“Jesus.” Jaslene tries to hold in a laugh at Fiore’s shade. .
“And it’s just frustrating- it makes me mad that I aspire for clean, precise perfection in every aspect of my drag. I don’t see many hitting, no offense to your sharpie drag Aguacate, but even with that I’m still delivering middle of the road to the panel, and like-“ Fiore starts going on a tangent but then starts to walk out. “Sorry, I can’t do this right now.”
“Yikes.” Yasmin says.
“Well…” Aguacate smiles. “Back to me.”
King Omari Star: “Everyone thinks they are the star of their own story. But I know this- I’m going with a journey, the waters are lovely… and we’re going to the tail end of the race. So the question is… which star will shine brightest?”
“So much fun.” Yasmin clasps her hands.
King Omari Star: “Well, only one of us has a star in his name.” Omari smirks.
~
The Next Day, Yasmin brings out coffees, as a sheepish Fiore sits alone.
“You ok?” Zazu smiles.
“I’m here.” Fiore shrugs, before turning to face Yasmin. “...Did you make coffee?”
“Is this a venti?” Zazu gasps.
“Wait…” Omari looks confused. “These cups have.. Raiz branded on them?”
“I monogrammed my own coffee cups.” Yasmin smiles.
“Can you make one that says Aguacate on it?” Aguacate turns.
“Woah, this is kinda…” Jaslene sips. “Oh my god.”
“I LOVE coffee.” Yasmin blushes.
You’ve got drag mail!
I love love. Do you love it?
“Love?” Fiore raises an eyebrow.
It’s Drag Time!
Hi Racers!
For today’s mini challenge, it’s time for a disco dance party!
~
Zazu Nova, you’re our winner baby!
“I won!” Zazu cheers.
Racers, it’s time for you to play parts in Lovers: The Musical!
Jaslene smirks.
For this week’s maxi challenge, you will be teamed up in the lip sync musical, where you will perform your ass off as a set of historical LOVERS!
Zazu Nova: “A musical?! Yes, I am ready for my singing moment!”
Zazu, as mini challenge winner, you get to assign pairs.
“Oooh!” Zazu smiles. “I’ll take Omari.”
Omari chuckles. “Okay…”
Zazu Nova: “Yes, we’ve struggled- but I know we can perform well together. Every DANCE moment together has been good.” Zazu winks.
“The funny girls…” Zazu smiles. “Yasmin and Aguacate.”
The two wink.
And that leaves… Jaslene and Fiore!
The two look at each other. “Well.”
Jaslene Bangus: “Seriously, Zazu?”
Good luck racers… and do not FUCK IT UP!
~
The racers sit down and look at the roles.
“Soooo…” Zazu smiles. “These are the roles.”
“JFK and Jackie O. Romeo and Juilet. Antony and Cleopatra.” Yasmin purses her lips.
Everyone looks over, before Jaslene raises her hand.
“Zazu, I have a question.” Jaslene says.
“Oh, sure!” Zazu smiles.
“Have you set me up by putting us together?” Jaslene purses her lips. “Because real talk… I haven’t received a single word from her.”
Fiore rolls her eyes. “We haven’t decided how to play it yet.”
“So… if you set me up, girl, own it. But if you didn’t, well… Girl, if you aren’t giving cunt…” Jaslene looks at Zazu. “Maybe you’re just silly.”
“I’m a water sign, I’m giving FISH.” Zazu winks, before stopping. “...I didn’t realize. I thought it was a solid pairing, sorry.”
“Mmmmhm.” Fiore says sarcastically.
“We’ll make it work.” Jaslene responds.
“JFK is my favorite, because, talk about a man with a good shot in the head!” Yasmin laughs. “So I’d like that role! To be the gorgeous first lady, her man by her side..”
Omari stares in horror.
Aguacate: “That is CLEARLY a role one is favored over the other. I do not want that.”
“Actually…” Aguacate raises her hand. “For me, I’d actually like ANTONY and CLEOPATRA.”
“Oh, sure.” Yasmin nods. “I’ll take it.”
Yasmin Raiz: “This is a team challenge, and I want to do it smooth- and efficiently.”
“I’d really think we do well with Romeo and Juilet.” Omari grins. “It’s a classic stereotype, but…”
“It’s a good one.” Zazu winks.
“And that leaves… JFK and Jackie.” Zazu smiles.
“I’ll take Jackie.” Fiore responds, grabbing the book.
“Let’s make it work.” Jaslene nods.
~
The teams start practicing their roles.
“So… we’re ANTONY and Cleopatra.” Aguacate smiles.
“Woo!” Yasmin cheers.
“I want us to be the most extravagant, most over the top artists of all time.” Aguacate smiles.
“Ooooh…” Yasmin nods.
Yasmin Raiz: “I am aware me and Aguacate are not the PERFORMERS of the cast. We’re not Jaslene or Zazu- lip sync assassins. But I am quietly confident.” Yasmin winks.
“To me, you seem like you could be a Roman General.” Aguacate grins. “I want the chaos of CLEOPATRA…”
“I feel like I can do either role, either way.” Yasmin says. “The same with the JFK and Jackie O. I can do this another way, either way- I’m versatile.”
“I heard that about you.” Aguacate smirks, before stopping. “You've mentioned it again.”
“...What?”
“Clearly, you wanted that role. You didn’t fight for it.” Aguacate purses her lips. “Why?”
“Because I believe we can do it either way.” Yasmin says. “I’ve been consistent, I’ve been showing up-”
“Where are you girl?” Aguacate asks. “I don’t see it. Consistent is good, but girl, we’re here to STEAL the show.”
Yasmin raises an eyebrow.
“Yell bitch, tell me how you want it.” Aguacate screams. “I want to be here till the end, DO YOU?!”
“I do!” Yasmin nods.
Agucate looks at Yasmin. “Show it.”

“Well, we’re here.” Fiore looks at Jaslene.
Fiore Stravaganza: “I’m paired… yet… yet again.” Fiore growls.
“I don’t want to work with you.” Jaslene says. “But we must.”
"You know what, Jaslene? I don't want to work with you either! But we have no choice, so let's just get this over with and win."
“You’re the one who's been complaining- and almost left.” Jaslene growls, before narrowing her eyes. "Let's just pretend to be the loving, passionate couple on stage, while we're at each other's throats offstage."
The music starts, and Jaslene springs into action, hitting each and every move, until Fiore arrives- and very quickly, very clearly, Fiore is struggling.
“Ugh…” Fiore exhales, walking off the stage.
“Let’s do it.” Jaslene looks at Fiore. “Come on.”
"Damn it, Jaslene! Can't you give me a break? You're making me look like a fool up there!" Fiore's voice cracks.
"I'm doing my part, Fiore. Maybe if you focused more on actually learning the steps and less on complaining, you wouldn't look like such a fool."
"Oh, I'm sorry if I'm not as perfect as you, Miss Lip Sync Assassin!” Fiore snaps.
“You’re the one who abandoned the AE Girls!” Jaslene yells back.
“What does that have to do with anything?!” Fiore's eyes narrow. "First off, I didn't abandon anyone! I've been focused on winning this competition and giving my all to every challenge. Unlike you, who seems to be more interested in stirring up drama and picking fights."
"Don't you dare try to twist this around on me, Fiore. I've been nothing but supportive to everyone here, including you. But all you care about is yourself and your precious victory."
Fiore scoffs. "Oh please, spare me the holier-than-thou act. I've seen through your facade from day one. You're just as self-centered as the rest of us, maybe even more so."
Jaslen steps forward. "You have no idea what I've been through, what I've sacrificed to be here. You think you're so superior with your acting skills and your high-class drag, but let me tell you something, Fiore: talent alone doesn't make you a good person or a good friend."
Fiore sighs. "I never said I was a good person or a good friend, Jaslene. But at least I'm honest about who I am. I've been laser-focused on this competition because it's my chance to prove myself, to show the world what I'm capable of. And if that means I've been distant or cold, then so be it."
“Let’s just do this challenge.” Jaslene exhales.
“Now that I can agree with.” Fiore sighs.

Zazu and Omari walk onto the stage.
“Let’s hold hands and talk about our feelings.” Zazu smiles.
“...Jesus Christ.” Omari whispers under his breath, before chuckling. “Okay, let’s have fun with it.”
“Yes!” Zazu grins.
“I can do the choreo.” Omari nods. “Like romeo…” Omari drops to his knees, twirling. “Spin.”
“Juilet SPINS!” Zazu drops to the floor, spinning.
“I leap.” Omari leaps, and the words start.
Zazu hits every single line, and Omari looks in surprise.
“I shouldn’t be surprised… but damn.” Omari exhales. “You’ve got it.”
“You got the choreo, I’ve got this for us.” Zazu smiles. “We good?”
“Of course, I’m great.” Omari grins.
“What star sign are you?” Zazu pouts.
“... I am Pisces.”
“Oh my GOD, I am a Pisces!” Zazu yells. Zazu grabs Omari's hands and looks into his eyes with excitement.
“Oh-”
"Omari, this is fate! We're both Pisces, which means we're connected by the stars. We're meant to be partners in this challenge, not just on stage but in our emotions too. Let's dive deep into the depths of our characters and express all the love, longing, and passion they embody!" Zazu yells. “You don’t have to lie. This challenge is…”
“Scary?” Omari says. “That the journey is non-linear, that I don’t have a second win yet, that I don’t have a solo win…”
Zazu smiles. "Omari, my dear, dear Pisces. Embrace the unknown, for that is where true growth lies. This challenge is an opportunity for you to break free from your stoic shell and reveal the depths of your emotions. You have a vulnerability within you, and I believe it's time to let it shine."
Omari looks at Zazu. “Yes, I am nervous and perhaps this journey has been harder then I expected.”
Zazu clicks her fingers.
"It’s like I’ve said, I've always been guarded with my emotions. It's how I've protected myself all these years. But maybe... maybe it's time to let go of that guard, even just for a moment."
Zazu grins. "Yes! Let the stars guide you. Use the energy of this challenge to tap into your true emotions. Allow yourself to feel, to express, and to connect."
Omari takes a deep breath and grins. "Alright, Zazu. I'll trust your guidance. Let's make this performance unforgettable."
“PISCES ELEGANZA!” Zazu cheers.
~
The racers chat as they get ready for the main stage challenge.
“So, does anyone have any idea what they’d like to do with the crowning money, if they were to win this season?” Yasmin smiles.
“$100,000…” Zazu’s eyes light up.
“I’ve already made $10,000…” Aguacate smirks. “I cannot wait to make another $115,000.”
“115?” Jaslene says, confused.
“This, next week, the week after that. Final 3.” Aguacate grins.
“Gosh, I don’t even plan for those things…” Jaslene chuckles.
“Same.” Yasmin smiles. “I’m here for the ride…”
Aguacate looks at Yasmin.
“But you know, I’m here to win and give my all too, so that’s good to know.” Yasmin chuckles, as Aguacate nods.
“For me, this money would go back to my community- with some for myself.” Omari nods. “I value the scene, and- the reality is there isn’t much. I am one of a few Kings- in a scene with a few drag artists. I want the power to be invested back in it.”
“I feel the same.” Yasmin smiles. “The scene in Guyana isn’t like those more- mainstream countries. I will support and guide others, so people know- we’re here, we’re queer, get used to it.”
“Fuck yeah.” Omari snaps his fingers in agreement.
“I will use it for myself, and my girls.” Jaslene smiles. “We’re all supportive of each other- my drag sisters and me. And I want them to feel the love.”
“I’ve got the same idea for my drag mom.” Zazu nods. “She’s saved me, and I’d love to help her.”
Fiore nods, looking over.
“I’d love to help my parents.” Aguacate looks in the mirror. “I think- I think they’d need it.”
“Think?” Omari asks.
Aguacate shrugs, clearly not interested in continuing further.
“Either way, this competition, this moment- we’re all going away, with money, pride- and the ability to change our lives, forever.” Fiore glares into the mirror.
“Exactly.” Yasmin smiles.
The 6 look at each other, ready for the night ahead.

2023.06.09 22:56 magentadev Unity + Spreadsheets (+ AWS + FastAPI + Google Sheets API) [part 3]

Unity + Spreadsheets (+ AWS + FastAPI + Google Sheets API) [part 3]
Oh, hi!


Kindly reminder: I dont have much Python experience, so all the code I provide is for educational purposes only!
What we have at this point?
  1. AWS EC2 instance (empty for now)
  2. Google Project
  3. Usekeys with access to a Google Docs folder

Prerequisites

It was easier for me to execute my Python scripts on my local machine, so I used
  1. PyCharm + Google Chrome for testing
  2. Filezilla + PuTTY for copying files to EC2

Server Scripts

———— app.py ————
Our entry point, FlaskAPI instance will be created here.
from fastapi import FastAPI from google_adapter import GoogleAdapter app = FastAPI() @app.get('/configs/{name}') def get_config(name: str): return GoogleAdapter.get_config(name) 
What happens here?
We creating a FlaskAPI instance and define an endpoint /configs/{name} . When we make a GET request to the endpoint, we get a response with our {name} Google Sheet data.
———— google_adapter.py ————
from google.oauth2.service_account import Credentials import gspread import os import utils CREDENTIALS_FILE_LOCAL_PATH = "/reddit-server-credentials.json" SCOPES = [ 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets', 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive' ] class GoogleAdapter: adapter = None is_valid = False @staticmethod def get_config(name: str): if GoogleAdapter.adapter is None or not GoogleAdapter.is_valid: GoogleAdapter.adapter = GoogleAdapter.create_adapter() try: name = name.capitalize() sheet = GoogleAdapter.adapter.open(name) except Exception as e: GoogleAdapter.invalidate_adapter() raise ValueError(f"Cannot open '{name}' sheet, '{str(e)}'") try: values = sheet.sheet1.get_all_values() except Exception as e: GoogleAdapter.invalidate_adapter() raise ValueError(f"Cannot retrieve values from sheet1 in '{name}'") return utils.to_json(values) @staticmethod def create_adapter(): credentials_path = os.path.dirname(__file__) + CREDENTIALS_FILE_LOCAL_PATH if not os.path.exists(credentials_path): raise ValueError(f"Credentials file not found") credentials = Credentials.from_service_account_file( credentials_path, scopes=SCOPES ) google_connection = gspread.authorize(credentials) if google_connection is not None: GoogleAdapter.is_valid = True return google_connection @staticmethod def invalidate_adapter(): GoogleAdapter.is_valid = False 
What happens here?
In general, we just use a google python api here to retrieve spreadsheets.
Firstly, we get an instance of a GoogleAdapter class (or create, if it does not exist) and check if it is valid. If it is not, we just create it once again. To be honest, I wasn't diving into google api exceptions, so not sure if it will work in any case, so I handle exceptions in a lazy way.
After that, we just call a google python api functions to retrieve sheet data by its name.
Finally, we use utils.to_json method to convert a raw response data into something we'd like to operate with.
———— utils.py ————
import json def to_json(response): # Extract the column names columns = response[0] # Extract the values values = response[1:] # Create a dictionary with the columns and values result = {'columns': columns, 'values': values} # Convert the dictionary to JSON json_result = json.dumps(result) result_without_slashes = json.loads(json_result) return result_without_slashes 
What happens here?
Simple helper class, which provides us a way to convert a raw response data into a JSON

Credentials

Remember the Google Project user's JSON key, that we obtained in the previous part?
Now we need to copy it to the same folder with our scripts, so it could be found in google_adapter.py:38, where we use a google python api to create an instance of GoogleCredentials class.

Dependencies

In general, to test our server, we need to run uvicorn app:app command in PyCharm terminal.
https://preview.redd.it/r6v2n9deo15b1.png?width=840&format=png&auto=webp&s=43f983c9bf59964185b38f43e4f63a6a2b264ca6
But you'll receive a "command not found" error.
To solve it, you need to install pip (here is how to install it for Windows, EC2) to install other dependencies.
I used pipreqs lib to get all the libs I use in this server project, cause I instally many many "extra" unused libs during the research, so not sure if we actually need it.
Here is what pipreqs told me:
  1. fastapi (0.96.0)
  2. gspread (5.8.0)
  3. protobuf (4.23.2)
There is no uvicorn, which is needed to launch the sever (I suppose. Correct me, if I'm wrong)
All of these libs must be installed via pip (pip install fastapi-like commands in PyCharm terminal)
and so on...
After you installed all the libs, try this uvicorn app:app command again. You need to be in the same directory with all the scripts we've written, so uvicorn could find this app.py script.
One more thing, in the command uvicorn app:app the first "app" is a script name. So if you rename your script to "main", you need to execute uvicorn main:app

Run and Test

If everything is good, you'll see this
App launched
Given spreadsheet "Monsters" with a sub-sheet "Monsters" in the Configs folder on Google Disk
https://preview.redd.it/sas6unq6r15b1.png?width=560&format=png&auto=webp&s=f732234f9ec465bbea2af0eac6a18e84b14bdd27
if we go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/configs/monsters url, we will see this:
https://preview.redd.it/002u27fjr15b1.png?width=657&format=png&auto=webp&s=ee18aaaefc535dbf16178dd1495ae3c8360b46b3
I hope I didn't miss anything, otherwise describe your problem in comment and I'll try to help.

FileZilla

Once everything works, we need to copy our scripts to our EC2 instance.
To do that, you need to open FileZilla (you can download it here)
Then copy the ec2 adress at the AWS site
https://preview.redd.it/unytt2p3s15b1.png?width=625&format=png&auto=webp&s=27ba21ff6fd72185159718dc4953cbc9403a3702
https://preview.redd.it/g9k7k6ubs15b1.png?width=1625&format=png&auto=webp&s=5a859d891e9cdc256f8e923fb769eb6aa491ebb9
And paste it to FileZilla > "Host" field. Don't forget to add "sftp://" as a prefix.
So you should have something like
Host: sftp:// ec2x-x-x-x.region.compute.amazonaws.com
Username: ec2-user, which is a default username, as I described earlier, in the [part 1]
https://preview.redd.it/zj8mym93t15b1.png?width=733&format=png&auto=webp&s=018c34fb57b22b2cf9997a928f3516e51ba6b67d
If everything works, you'll see this
https://preview.redd.it/yj177r4ft15b1.png?width=1183&format=png&auto=webp&s=f18b5a1ff785ea2855c01f29165a760777a716ff
Now you need to create a folder for our server, I created a "reddit-tutorial" folder inside the "ec2-user" folder, which should be opened by default after a connection established. And copy all the scripts.
https://preview.redd.it/0bntrjjrt15b1.png?width=187&format=png&auto=webp&s=04b2b88f8ea92b1b0003186824948158bbfe6e75
Once you've copied all the scripts + JSON creds, you need to launch the server app.
Open PuTTY, connect to the EC2 instance:
You should be able to see \"reddit-tutorial\" folder, if you execute an \"ls\" command
Now we need to install all the libs on our EC2 instance.
After that, execute uvicorn app:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 command (still in PuTTY) to launch a server. That's what you should see:
https://preview.redd.it/0ajfd4i3125b1.png?width=703&format=png&auto=webp&s=6d1354e7f46676a7a8225ffff5014ee9fbe0d117
Now we need to add an Inbound rule to our EC2 instance, so we could reach our server from anywhere. You need to
  1. Go to AWS EC2 dashboard
  2. Select your EC2 instance
  3. Open Security tab
  4. Click on Security groups link
https://preview.redd.it/ps2kyzbm125b1.png?width=1367&format=png&auto=webp&s=8f528df3d6e06db6a1a6419cc8c8ade629cded6d
https://preview.redd.it/gbvkx06t125b1.png?width=1624&format=png&auto=webp&s=9d5802d3e6a43b4be8f279f9834096f4ccc97052
https://preview.redd.it/hdv64hnz125b1.png?width=1832&format=png&auto=webp&s=ccf0977fcdde43048ec56546724314c5f70fe07f

And Finally

Copy you EC2's public IP on the EC2 Instance page (let's assume it is x.x.x.x)
https://preview.redd.it/m1qxnwoa225b1.png?width=560&format=png&auto=webp&s=0a8875b36c08bd9108fed47c5d4dde1f43ab35cb

2023.06.09 22:55 cosmic68 Just been diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease (stage 3)

Hello chaps.
As per title-out of the blue been diagnosed with stage 3 CKD. Was wondering if any chaps on here/on TRT are in a similar situation?
I’m seeing a specialist on Monday. Pretty sure he’s going to tell me to come off TRT because, well he’s a Dr and anecdotally-even the TRT Drs you read about on here can get thing’s staggeringly wrong (‘one shot, every two weeks!’)
My concern is I won’t be able to PCT/they’ll tell me it bad for kidneys etc. Dreading the idea of cold turkey.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
I’m 55/take 80mg cypionate and 1000uis HCG a week (split in thre doses) which puts me at about 800 trough reading.
Hopped on TRT as clinic felt my low libido was due to primary hypogonadism…but natty test was 450. LH and FSH were sky high. If I’m honest-despite some good numbers on page (trt doc said ‘literally the best numbers possible’) it didn’t fix low libido. Tried a few protocols, but not much progress so possibly issues not testosterone related. Been on trt for 15 months now.

2023.06.09 22:55 one-eyed-daruma Can't sleep.

I'm having these thoughts na what if malaya ako nung panahon na yon. Siguro tayo. Sayo ko lang nafeel yung genuine connection. Yung feeling na hindi ako nag-iisa. I'm sorry if di kapanipaniwala yung sinasabi ko na minahal kita dahil sa mga nagawa ko but it's true. I loved you. I'm missing thoses discord calls naten, valorant, also the conversation about sa hobbies and interests. I hope na you're being treated right sa mga panahon na to kase if naging tayo talaga, I'll definitely treat you right. Sobra kitang naaappreciate in every little thing you do. Thank you sa efforts at sa pagmmahal sakin. Sana napapakinggan mo pa rin yung playlist na ginawa ko para sayo.

2023.06.09 22:55 XstraNinja Wild Strike Champion Improvements

After finishing my challenges I've just been farming currency and trying builds based on Crucible modifiers I think are cool.
I saw that Wildstrike inflicts all 3 alternate ailments on hit so I thought that would be sick.
As it turns out I loooove Wild Strike. Clear-wise it feels phenomenal however I would like to squeeze out more single target to make it a little smoother for the beefy rares.
Melee builds are always hard for me to optimize so aside from a better weapon what should I shoot for?
Here is POB so far. (Totems are disabled since they aren't reliable to keep up all the time).
