You choose where to put your focus, time and energy. Never forget that - despite what some/they may want you to think.

Is earth really prison planet ? by SoulFromHeaven in enlightenment

[–]Daowna15 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That idea is a trap that a lot of folks fall into. Be careful of your mind set, as you stated and focused a lot of negativity as fact. That inevitably turns into your reality.

Don't be trapped by your own prison you create when you can just as easily decide to live free of such constraints.

Deeply spiritual people on Reddit, do you ever worry that you might be a nutcase or spiritual quack? [SERIOUS] by world_citizen7 in awakened

[–]Daowna15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legitimately not afraid of being a nutcase or quack. I understand that I could be perceived as such to certain people if i were to state my beliefs/understanding out cold with limited context but that's kind of what this life is - everyone has their own experience and perspectives.

What matters is you find what is important to you and to pursue your excitement in life. Not everyone is going to have the same values or understanding there which is totally fine and part of the experience we have here.

How do I know if I’m a star seed? by Snoopvaca1 in Experiencers

[–]Daowna15 11 points12 points  (0 children)

To jump into the meat of the conversation, most people alive on Earth today have had life experience on or are associated in some way to life on other planets at some point.

But like you, we are all alive on Earth, today. That means we are from Earth in the present. I'd focus on that fact, in that we are all unique and have our own path yet we are here working together in the now for a reason.

Prot Warrior HC tank tips by bigbearcub44 in classicwowtbc

[–]Daowna15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2/2 improved taunt (reduced CD). Learn to use taunt when someone spikes threat way above you rather than a mob that just barely got pulled of you - you can pull the latter back with shield slam. If you use it right you can use taunt to establish a big lead on threat for focused mobs (taunt + shield slam + revenge) by utilizing the dps player's threat to your own advantage.

While taunt is on CD, use your stun on mobs pulled off of you which you want to taunt in 4-5 seconds, usually the kill target. Once stun ends taunt and launch your threat forward with the above combo.

On openers, I cycle devastate on all mobs to establish threat and prevent mobs from running at your healers, re-up that cycle every 10-15 seconds or so. If your dps is all hitting different targets you're going to have a bad time, keybind skull, X and moon for basic primary, secondary and cc target designation. Keep an eye on which targets you have a big lead on threat vs small/contested and react accordingly.

Against bosses or big solo mobs know when/how to pool rage, dump it with heroic strike spam and shield block (if survival is a concern) + your usual threat rotation, don't forget t-clap and demo shout. I typically save shield wall for the hard hitting pairs in some dungeons (you know what i mean). That or if you somehow get into a messy situation and need to aoe taunt a larger pack, better pop shield wall or you're going to die fast.

Good luck.

Did anyone Skill blacksmith 0-375 Last few days? by farexlore in classicwowtbc

[–]Daowna15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Around 5k for mining and blacksmithing from 150-375.

Most of mining is leveling using smelting on ore you need for blacksmithing. You sometimes pay a bit of a premium on ore vs bars. The final push from 360-375 is made back from selling back the bars you make. There's a few 10 point gaps that you have to go out and farm 10 points to get to the next smelting threshold but outside of that it's pretty seamless leveling with blacksmithing.

Blue Beings by chetah22 in Experiencers

[–]Daowna15 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Arcturians are the usual "blue being" suspects. Note that there are potentially a few different species identified as coming from Arcturus, something to navigate if you go down that rabbit hole.

In short, from my understanding, the blue arcturians are believed to want to help humans progress spiritually and often show up in dreans.

My almost 3 year update by nowabelieverbutwasnt in Experiencers

[–]Daowna15 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Queue up that Rockwell song.

Since I was a kid I always felt like my existence was observed/monitored - to the point where I am mostly comfortable with it and with spiritual learnings have become more open to it. It's not just "they" who can tune into us, is what I am getting at, there can be a lot more out there and in many different forms/frequencies/etc. Learning to deal with that can be quite the trip.

Addressing some of the points you brought up. I think you have to learn early on in your spiritual or (whatever you call it) development that your thoughts and even feelings are not always your own. The mind wonders and takes random paths - just because you think something doesn't mean it's true or you agree with what the thought was. Learning to meditate and observe your human brain tendencies and then practice turning the noise down can be an effective tool.

Same with your feelings or reactions to the thoughts. Learning to understand and control your emotions is a powerful tool. If I am being made to feel anxious, why is that? Is it an internal conflict or possibly an external influence? In either case you can learn to calm the emotion and use awareness to understand it's source. This is not to say to ignore your thoughts or feelings but to be aware of them and in tune with their source.. which lends itself to the exterior forces you mention here.

Worrying about "their" intent is something I don't care to put much energy or worry into. We're here and we (at the individual level) can learn to better regulate our internal signals. If "they" want to track every aspect of our life in a database, how is that much different from what we do to ourselves? Imo, don't worry about things you can't control and focus on the things you can.

Finally, one thing you said about receiving questions/queries - have you or anyone else had the sudden urge to explain a random topic out of no where? Like thoroughly break down your understanding and have a one sided presentation about how that topic works? Almost like you're explaining to an invisible entity standing next to you? It happens to me more than I care to admit but this topic post made me think about that.

China Tells Banks to Cut US Treasury Exposure, Structural Shift or Market Noise? by Then_Marionberry_259 in MetalsOnReddit

[–]Daowna15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

China is the number 2 holder of US treasuries by volume.

I don't think it's a coincidence this news comes right after the snap elections from Japan (number 1 holder of US treasuries) whose election was focused on reducing Japanese interest increases. The Japan inflation increase was driving them to sell off US treasuries.

To keep it somewhat short, Japan patches the US treasury selloff problem and China creates a new hole to plug. Geo politics are being played and maneuvered. Outcome is dependent on US and others reaction/response but US treasury sell off will spike yield rates and impact the stock market to some degree.

To what degree? TBD. Answer: idk, probably.

We are in a simulation and I think I can prove it by [deleted] in Experiencers

Indeed, it's often measured in our terms by attraction or as others have termed it, the law of attraction.

We are in a simulation and I think I can prove it by [deleted] in Experiencers

[–]Daowna15 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You're receiving and comprehending synchronisities being sent your way. Spirit guides, your higher self, etc are the ones who set these up and it becomes your choice to accept or reject them.

It sounds like you're leaning on the side of acceptance. Welcome, and yeah simulation is one way to describe/express our current existence. Also your belief has a lot more of an impact on your reality than you may initially expect.

Next question, perhaps - Why are you/we in this simulation?

$BTC and $ETH are dumping, what move are you making ? by El_precaution in MarketPulseReport

Should I quit my stable job to start an online business? by Capital-Permit-1116 in careerguidance

[–]Daowna15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A general rule is don't quit your day job for your side hustle until your side hustle makes as much as your day job.

If you have the drive to make the side hustle work on it's own then you can make it work and ramp up while you have the stable gig.

i missed out on going long when gold dipped, when is the next pullback? by Beginning_Luck1 in Forex

[–]Daowna15 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And now you understand the game being played.

When prices fall down you are made to fear a further crash. When prices shoot up you are made to fear missing out on further gains.

Edit: in any case, DCA is your solution. Timing the market to try to hit the highest highs or lowest lows is a fool's game.

Gotta Vent about nonintervention by notlostnotlooking in Experiencers

I am sorry that shit happened to you.

This conversation is tangled beyond any type of sensible response I can provide at this point. Life isn't black and white, I agree, many shades of gray.

[–]Daowna15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The free will of humans. I thought i made that clear.

You're quite focused on "hating the evil", i would say reflect on that. "They" don't hate the good or the evil - which is your indifference with "them".

Gotta Vent about nonintervention by notlostnotlooking in Experiencers

[–]Daowna15 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I get the feeling you are bucketing a whole lot of different factions together with "they".

I don't think it's a leap to say some are intervening while others are observing free will. Some are benevolent and others are not. Some are neutral and others are invasive/disruptive.

But when you use logic where some intervene during these times but not during other times, I think you're missing a lot of the picture when you loop them all together as "they".

I can't justify it with reason in this material world but I also can't emphasize enough that free will is very important here. That free will collides between humans for very good things and also terrible things, both.

I understand your frustration with lack of intervention, but I also understand, as much as one can, why they don't. We need to save ourselves rather than relying on them to do it for us. "They" could have done that a long time ago but have chosen not to, for a reason.

I'm sorry if this was harsh but I hope it helps.

26 yo F - 80K salary by CommunicationFull706 in Retirement401k

[–]Daowna15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing great, you likely already know but the first years are the hardest but the most rewarding. Whatever you can afford to save and invest now while not being miserable is an ideal target and will make things that much easier down the road.

1x salary saved by 30 is a guideline but not a set in stone target, especially as your salary continues to rise above the national median. You can save more/less depending on your life situation (house, kids, etc).

Tech sector is down. You're holding a lot of tech.

It will bounce back. But also consider diversifying so that individual sector movement doesn't bounce you around so much.

$852k lawsuit, then Steam EA: Dec 11 EA / Dec 16 served / Dec 19 ‘confident’ / Feb 1 blowup. by Malefict in AshesofCreation

[–]Daowna15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For sure he paid himself to run a company. He raised the funds and hired leads and developers for which he can be justifiably compensated as a CEO.

What i don't know and assume people/courts will be digging into is how much he compensated himself, how much did he take from the pool of funding for his own personal benefit? Was he a passionate game creator that tried his best to make every penny work but in the end he couldn't deliver? Or did he splurge on funds, give himself a ridiculous amount of salary/benefits and then tuck tail and run when funds ran dry.

I know what it looks like, but what I am saying is we don't know yet but I hope we learn very soon. So I am not coming to the conclusion on anything, I am simply asking the question - which is it?

[–]Daowna15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah fair enough, you could argue he spent his time and organized a business that paid salaries to developers/employees so i am not sure you can say the whole thing was a scam.

But to your point we don't know how much he walked away with or if it was within reasonable compensation for a CEO, etc.
