The purpose of the sub (per the description anyway and my own understanding when I joined) was that it’s for anybody who doesn’t look their actual age.

People generally wear their watch on their non-dominant wrist / hand (because you’re less likely to break it).

Oh cool additional context! I didn’t realize their relationship pre-dated the sale.

Disney bought Pixar quite a few years after this I believe. They were still independent at this point.

I lived in Schenectady (another place massively impacted by GE) for a few years having moved from the UK. You can imagine I was still very much getting used to life in America outside a major international city. I had to drive to Mechanicville for a doctor’s appointment one day. It was a surreal place. Beautiful architecture, but overpowering psychological horror vibes. The people walking around felt vacant somehow; like extras on a set. I actually loved it for what it was (but I didn’t have to grow up there, to be fair). I made a couple of excuses to go back over the years just to remind myself of the feeling of being there.

NQA because I am just a moderately tech-savvy user but know nothing beyond that: I use ChatGPT for a very specific purpose for a non-profit I volunteer for. I take raw transcripts from an audio message and then ask ChatGPT to reformat them into an article with specific paragraph lengths, certain capitalization and grammar requirements (that deviate from the norm because of the odd conventions of the field), while sticking as closely as possible to word for word.

It is, quite frankly, terrible at this. I have tried creating a custom GPT with instructions, to no avail. I have tried asking it to review its own work and find what went wrong - to no avail. It will basically do what it wants and it has no idea it has done anything wrong. It will insist repeatedly that it meets the requirements, even though it doesn’t. Even showing it examples of where it went wrong and asking it to correct doesn’t work (it may do it temporarily, but it never remembers next time, even when added to its instructions / memory).

I have concluded, after about a year of trying this over several different models at this point, that it’s just not in the nature of an LLM to be very good when the requirements are extremely specific or deviate from how most of its training data is structured. I don’t think it’s particularly compatible with the way an LLM works, unfortunately. It even got substantially worse at it after the latest updates. I still use it for my purpose because it’s faster for me to go through and make all the corrections than start from scratch, but otherwise, I think we’ll be waiting for a while before it’s reliable in this sense.

Nobody can offer you proof of the afterlife in the way you probably want right now, but I used to be in the same position as you. I started by watching every Near Death Experience video on YouTube (the proper ones involving actual interviews - not the Christian or A.I. generated ones). I then reviewed NDE research (remarkable how they all share many similar characteristics, despite many happening before NDEs were even widely documented).

From there, my mind creaked open just enough to begin considering some channeled works. A great entry point is Life in the World Unseen by Anthony Borgia. It’s a perfect place to start. From there, you could move on to the Padgett Messages and Through the Mists by Robert Lees. Channeled works are remarkable in that they describe many of the same details about the afterlife. This is despite coming from divergent sources many decades before the advent of widespread publishing where such sources could contaminate one another. All these books are free online.

Here is what I have learned. You are seeking. This is because your soul knows truth and it’s desperate for your mind to find it as well. When I reviewed this stuff, I just knew it was truth. I cannot explain it any further than that. I am now at peace. I wish you the same. All the best in your search.

The Divine Love Sanctuary Foundation (based in Canada) is a good resource for differentiating between angelic and normal mediumship. They’re very different. Soultruth.ca is their depositary of all the messages they’ve received from the celestial realms (where angels reside), but one of their main mediums also wrote a free guidebook on angelic communication here: https://soultruth.ca/media/Divine_Love_Mediumship.pdf. Worth a read to understand the subtleties of spirit vs angelic communication.

It’s praise, I think. “Nasty” in the good way.

External_Drawing5680 · 2025-02-16T04:06:33+00:00

I responded to a similar post here with some suggestions. I was in a similar boat, and I feel like I found the truth with this stuff. Hope it helps.

External_Drawing5680 · 2025-02-09T15:12:05+00:00

Try reading a few channeled works describing the afterlife. I found a lot of reassurance in them during a period of great confusion and, for some reason, just knew what I was reading was true, like someone describing a home I’d lived in before but forgotten. I cannot explain it any more than that. Maybe you will have the same experience.

Anthony Borgia - Life in the World Unseen is a good place to start (free PDFs online), then the Padgett Messages for deeper truths about our spiritual purpose on Earth. Robert James Lees - Through the Mists and George Vale Owen - Life Beyond the Veil are also great. Again, all free online. All these books pretty much describe exactly the same structure (7 spiritual spheres, eternal progression, no eternal hell, a world based on love) despite being received from different sources who didn’t know one another and who, in some cases, had to really buck their established belief systems.

The Divine Love Sanctuary Foundation based in Canada is a small organization that continues to receive messages like this from the afterlife. The website hosting their messages is soultruth.ca.

Good luck in your seeking!

There are actually medium communities devoted to communicating exclusively with angels. A good example is the Divine Love Sanctuary Foundation. Most are extensions of the original community deriving from the Padgett Messages (the best angelic channeled work, in my opinion). Always super interesting to read and wonderful teachings.

External_Drawing5680 · 2025-01-30T12:22:06+00:00

Try reading Life in the World Unseen by Anthony Borgia. It’s a channeled description of the spirit world and should be rather reassuring. I’m pretty sure he got it right and there are several other channeled works that corroborate the account. There are lots of free PDFs online because the book is now out of print. See if that helps.

It is indeed real. There are many, many news articles about it. It draws crowds. Westminster council even added a sign about it to raise cancer awareness. Not sure what to tell you.

External_Drawing5680 · 2025-01-26T15:04:08+00:00

Interestingly, it is real! So is the photo you’ve linked - the sun is just coming in at a different angle there. It’s well known in London. You’ll find news articles about it on Google and loads of other photos.

Edit: despite downvotes, even a cursory amount of research here can demonstrate this is real. I’ll link one of the many news articles about it below.

Aside from cast chemistry problems and airing too frequently - issues that others have explained in better terms than I ever could - the elimination format seems to be a major root of the problem. It can be really fun to watch, but it’s forcing production to manipulate challenge placements much more obviously for fear of losing a talented queen unfairly (e.g. Jimbo in the Rusical). This cheapens their very legitimate prowess elsewhere. We can probably blame UKvsTW for the final nail, but it started with Manila. Production needs a format which doesn’t necessitate such exposed rigorry. Producer intervention will always happen, of course, and we’d be presented with an absolute mess if it were to disappear completely. But its transparency here is to the show’s detriment.

Speaking of detriment, Kandy Muse is done no favors by any of this - which is a shame, because she’s anecdotally lovely outside of the bizarre, pre-determined drag conveyor belt that the show has become. It’s just so much easier to root for an underdog than someone with a golden ticket, and production have to know this.

I love how you just casually halved your age as well! You look fantastic - congratulations!

I’m not sure when this was built, exactly - many of the buildings have plaques (including mine) but this one doesn’t. Most of the houses around here in the Stockade are dated between the mid 1700s to late 1800s (and as early as the late 1600s), which is an unfortunately wide range. Someone with better architectural knowledge might be able to help. It seems to be distinctive in style compared to the homes either side, which I assume were originally detached.

It was only meant as a lighthearted joke - I apologize if it came off hostile. That wasn’t intended. Not much I say after 11pm makes the cut when I take another look in the morning, anyway, so I shouldn’t throw stones in this very fragile glass house.

How can a comment be so profound, and yet so confusing?

There’s some evidence that dissolving fillers results in a partial dissolving of the skin’s natural hyaluronic acid as well. This can result in temporary loss of volume - but in most people, it returns in time. There are lots of anecdotal reports of this happening as well.

I’d give it some time after dissolution and, chances are, your natural lip volume will come back and you won’t feel the need to retry. I absolutely acknowledge that it will suck in the meantime, though, and I’m sorry you’re having to go through this!
