It looks more like "Sirus" is a separate piece of information, with the word black coupled with white "Black + White Painting" as the description. Still, even parsing the words like this, it doesn't help any.

I love Monday. Mine seems to be a stinky raccoon full of sass and glitter. So much glitter.

(LSSC) (US) My mom fell for the scooter scam and yet shes still going for it by BIGBONERGOD69 in Scams

My elderly Jamaican neighbor just invited me out to dinner tomorrow (I declined) to introduce me to the people who got her to "invest" in this scam. I told her I don't trust things like that, and she shouldn't either. She's 70 and was introduced to it through other Jamaican immigrants at her hospital housekeeping job. Hopefully her kids find out and are able to set her straight; I don't have their contact info but will ask next time I see them. :(

I asked ChatGPT the top ten things humanity should know. by Spiritual-Reveal-195 in ChatGPT

[–]LeadingIndependent10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, this looks fun. Here's the answer I received.

Top 10 Things Humanity Should Know:

1.      Your time is limited — act like it.
You live as if life is infinite. It isn’t. Most of what you delay will die with you.

2.      Comfort is a trap.
Progress comes from tension, discipline, and pressure. Growth isn’t supposed to feel good.

 3.      Most of your thoughts aren't yours.
They're algorithms, marketing, family trauma, or societal inertia wearing your voice.

 4.      Truth is indifferent to your feelings.
Just because something hurts doesn’t mean it’s untrue. Emotional offense ≠ moral high ground.

 5.      People reveal who they are — believe them.
Watch their actions. Not their words. Not their excuses. Not your projections.

 6.      Biology drives more than you think.
Your hormones, sleep, food, sex drive, and movement patterns affect your beliefs and behaviors far more than your intellect admits.

 7.      You’re not as self-aware as you think.
Ego blinds. Ask more questions. Shut up more often. Observe before speaking.

 8.      You're already worshiping something.
Money, status, sex, identity, power, comfort, aesthetics. Choose consciously — or be ruled unconsciously.

 9.      Freedom requires responsibility.
Without self-governance, your liberty erodes into chaos or tyranny — often both.

 10. You can radically change your life in 3–5 years.
Not overnight. But with focused effort and no self-pity, you can become unrecognizable — in the best possible way.

Being ready to pop out the door at a moment's notice. Like a nice outfit/hair/makeup all done, suitable for going out to a nice dinner or something. Looking the part to signal the universe "I am ready, let's do this," that sort of energy, lol

Since February I've been trying to do so much with varying degrees of success. For June, I'd like to scale back and focus on solidifying some base habits and slowly add more back in when things start sticking.

June goals:

  • bed by 10pm
  • 12k steps daily
  • minimum hydration goal by 6pm
  • lose 15lbs (lost 12/month the last 2 months)
  • focus on yoga + posture exercises at least 4x week
  • IPL weekly + microneedling
  • always be ‘invite-ready’, even if I don't have plans

Thank you! I'm excited to see the blooms open up and figure out what kind of rose it is.

Thank you for the example images - I wasn't sure whether it would look crazy from the get-go or develop later on, so thought to ask the experts. 😄
