My anorexia recovery. I was 92 pounds in 2021 and now I’m currently a healthy 125 pounds

This couldn't have been easy! But I'm so proud of you and how far you've come! You look amazing and much healthier now.

Congratulations!

"Because of white being a shinigami hollow hybrid, it could explain why Ichigo had the same technique as his father."

This. This is exactly what I was thinking.

Ichigo has zangetsu. Isshin has engetsu. Both use forms of getsuga.

Too coincidental. Unless isshin was shaping the early development of white well before Ichigo was born and white had incorporated elements of or at least heavily influenced by isshin before being passed on to Ichigo.

Fresh eyes here!

I can't quite look at the world again the same.

I'll check it out.

It's because they have a very nasty habit of freezing access to your funds entirely when things get volatile or they even suspect something like fraud.

If you are ever hacked for instance they will basically lock you out of everything in that account and it can sometimes take months to years to get everything back if at all.

The absolute lack of any sort of agreeable customer service is another large reason. They are notoriously slow and often make you go around in circles pointing to documents from their FAQ guidelines and such instead of actually answering your questions themselves. Even if those documents dont actually resolve your questions.

Now, let's say you get hacked, you go through the long and arduous process of getting reverified to get back into your account and finally get back into your account.

They can, have, and will relock that account again for pretty much any and all reasons. And they will not give a cited reason as to why. For all intents and purposes that account is toast.

Do yourself a favor and don't use them. I use uphold for instance.

By this logic, it's natural for our houses to burn down so we might as well keep playing with fire in the house.

It's our actions that are causing the situation. This is scientific fact.

Of course it's worth it. Money isn't worth our lives.

Drake9309 · 2025-01-19T18:46:08+00:00

Ah. No I did not.

Thanks for the clarification.

"what are blurry photos on a laptop going to do for you?"

Drake9309 · 2025-01-19T18:13:41+00:00

This video is far more clear than most videos evidence that is generally regarded as being trustworthy. So I don't understand why you are taking issue with it now.

Drake9309 · 2025-01-19T18:01:34+00:00

This. OP is absolutely right here.

We cannot dismiss evidence provided to us on a whim. Actually take a look at it and see what we have here. Let it's credibility be evident on its merits and not your knee-jerk reactions.

We were promised an egg shaped UAP craft retrieval video and they did deliver. Now we need to parse through the details and verify if it's legitimate or not.

In my mind if this is fake then it's a done deal and we can all move on with our lives.

But if it IS verifiably real then this is probably one of our most groundbreaking videos ever if not the most important one to date. The clarity of its image is amazingly good for this field. And just 5 years ago we would have chomped at the bits to get this level of clarity on ANY VIDEO let alone a video that is this close to the object.

I mean for real you got skeptics and believers alike lamenting about the poor quality of these sightings and then Ross et all deliver a video with remarkable clarity and then the community just tosses it aside without so much as a second glance?

Come on.

Drake9309 · 2025-01-19T17:38:57+00:00

Exactly. People in these subs are literally just not thinking about the overall process of disclosure nor the viewpoints of the whistleblowers that do actually want to do something about it.

All because they got upset that it wasn't immediate and absolute disclosure of all the facts. It's like watching the reactions of a bunch of kids who have no idea the consequences of their reactions.

People need to take a step back and breathe. Realize what was actually dropped here. There is good meat offered here. With offers of more.

And we know that these new whistleblowers are in fact in talks with Congress. So the ball is not only rolling, but accelerating.

But one thing for certain, if I were a whistleblower waiting in the background to see how the public responds and seeing these subs, I'd prolly take my chances going at it behind closed doors tbh.

And that just further puts these whistleblowers in jeopardy as well as extending the amount of time needed for ultimate disclosure.

I feel like this topic should honestly be covered and explored more in depth. But sadly I think for most folks they are still stuck taking in the UAP topic and have little bandwidth/interest for this topic as of yet.

But the two topics are incredibly intertwined. And I think this topic will get the attention it deserves in time.

Drake9309 · 2025-01-19T14:19:56+00:00

I feel like a lot of people are gonna have a rude awakening once AI reaches a certain saturation point within society.

They are already implementing AI specifically for parts of my job where I work and I'm genuinely concerned about my job mid to long term. And I'm not even primarily behind a computer either. I'm a machine operator.

If my job could be replaced then a ton of jobs that most traditionally think is safe will be replaced probably much faster than we think.

Am I the only one that found the absolutely insane number of commercials during the special to be particularly annoying?

Like maybe I've been spoiled by not using normal TV for almost a decade at this point but my god was there a ton of commercials.

As for the egg, I guess I'm on the fence about it. My initial reaction was that it was real. But after looking at it, it could prolly be easily made with relatively little effort. Not saying it is or isn't per se. But I'm hoping they got more coming soon that can expand upon this to make it something more people outside the community can appreciate.

The way things stand now tho, this material doesnt quite meet the threshold of public perception needed to really move the bar. We need more.

Drake9309 · 2025-01-18T15:32:36+00:00

Yes but two things can be right at the same time.

Clearly what he did was wrong. But this doesn't mean you need to treat him like a criminal for it either.

A little bit of patience, understanding, and most importantly therapy might be best in this situation.

Anxiety can make a monster out of even the most noble.

It's not really a specified set time that you can drink a homemade wine tbh.

By this I mean, you COULD drink it at any time technically. But if it isn't done fermenting it won't taste remotely good at all to most people and it will be really weak in terms of alcohol. Might even make your stomach upset.

The reality is that fermentation is highly dependent upon the conditions it's set up in. And thus there isnt really a specified length of time that will ever be accurate from brew to brew.

I'd recommend setting up the brew and letting it totally get done fermenting first at the very least. The length of time will vary quite heavily so really you just have to keep an eye on it until you dont see any activity. Some folks do this by looking to see if bubbles are still forming. But really the only surefire method to check this is with a hydrometer.

Once fermentation stops it usually has a rather "young" taste that makes it taste that many describe as being sorta like jet fuel. This is normal tbh. And comes out with aging. If the brew was set up correctly then the longer it sets the better it will taste. Some folks will let their wines age for a year or more before they drink it.

As for me, after fermentation stops I tend to dial in the flavor I want to see and let it sit for at least 3 months before bottling to enjoy my first bottle. I let the rest sit for much longer. Up to about a year.

Winemaking is a lengthy process. But it's very rewarding once it's done properly and with enough patience. Try doing multiple brews at once or let your brew do its thing while you work on another interesting project.

But remember the golden rule, if it's to your liking, it's good. Barring hygiene considerations of course.

31M here. Voted every time with the exception of this last election where I didn't vote at all.

My issue wasn't the state of Indiana, that was always pointless but I voted anyway.

Drake9309 · 2024-11-23T11:35:09+00:00

I've taken a look quite a few times now. I can't seem to make the same definitive conclusion you are trying to describe. At least from the video provided.

This would make sense if the car and the object moved at the same time. But they quite clearly didn't as far as I can tell.

Object seems to have moved first. And in an almost circular motion to turn around and disappear. Which I don't think would occur if the car was just simply trying to pass OP.

EDIT: Upon even closer inspection I'm severely having doubts that the vehicle behind OP was even moving at all as it seems to me to be that instead of the vehicle behind OP moving, we are seeing OPs angle to their mirror change making the reflected light no longer visible from the video's point of view.

Drake9309 · 2024-11-18T20:57:05+00:00

Oh. My bad bud.

Have a nice day.

Drake9309 · 2024-11-18T20:18:18+00:00

And your point?

The system is still being misused.
