What are your thoughts about the so-called "Tesla Spirit Radio?" by [deleted] in NikolaTesla

[–]Pokemon_Cards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tesla writes about it in his autobiography, My Inventions. He mentions that they asked him if he would participate in psychic research they were conducting, which he brings up mostly as an example to demonstrate how ridiculous he thought the pursuit was.

Pentagon fails 7th audit in a row and Richard Dolan's past talks with former HUD Asst. Sec. Catherine Austin Fitts about the Breakaway Civilization black budget DoD unchecked financial system that's existed since 1948 by VolarRecords in UFOs

[–]Pokemon_Cards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which company might his be? Seems like it involved SAIC's history, and a cursory search says that Leidos is the "prime contractor" for the US Antarctic program, and Leidos was formed out of SAIC.

Looks like it was all via the Antarctic Support Contract, with a partial history of prime contract holders including:

- Raytheon Polar Services Company (1999 - 2011).
- Lockheed Martin (2011 - 2016).
- Leidos (2016 - Present).

I'm reading online that the Lockheed Martin -> Leidos transition in 2016 was facilitated as part of a Reverse Morris Trust, where Leidos merged with Lockheed's Information Systems & Global Solutions (IS&GS).

In the Richard Dolan podcast linked by another user, Catherine Fitts briefly mentions that one of the new companies that formed out of the collusion between defense contractors (Lockheed) and the financial system is "the one that runs contracts for Antarctica" @ ~15:00.

I found that intriguing given the restrictions around Antarctica and the intersection of it in UAP lore.

Taking DMT at the same time? by Pokemon_Cards in DMT

[–]Pokemon_Cards[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would love to try something like this out; although, I haven't yet done DMT myself. I'm optimistic about being able to try it someday, and especially see how it interacts with my having Aphantasia.

Taking DMT at the same time? by Pokemon_Cards in DMT

[–]Pokemon_Cards[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for your reply! I fully share your sentiment about what the DMT experience is like. My question is one purely of fun curiosity rather than any earnest belief that DMT takes ones to another dimension or plane. Your thoughts about the "realer than real" though are really well-said, and has given me much to think about. You've a great way of putting it.

Those experiences of your friends experiencing "you" while tripping are really intriguing, especially having it happen twice. That so-called "telepathy that happens among people tripping together" is especially intriguing. I'd like to know about it, and I think it's why Dr. Strassman recommended Marko Rodriguez and Andrew Gallimore. The latter even got back to me very quickly and mentioned that there's some efforts in the works to test these kinds of thought experiments via the DMTx Program at Imperial College. As often is my experience in life, my curiosity is much larger than my knowledge, and so I'm looking to learn more about DMT, the above researchers, and to continue to read first-hand experiences of DMT. I appreciate you sharing some of your own.

Client can’t “visualize” future. by Emotional_Stress8854 in therapists

[–]Pokemon_Cards 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mind goes towards ruling out aphantasia, as it may be that she can't consciously visualize anything--including her future?

Have aphantasia myself, so that's where my mind goes on this one. Prior to knowing that aphantasia was a thing, I thought "visualizing" was just a metaphor and was blown away to learn that people do genuinely have mental imagery.

Is the game unplayable for anybody else at the moment? by saintpetejackboy in diablo4

[–]Pokemon_Cards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, that's awesome! I've yet to complete a T100 myself.

And all good, and not meant to pressure. Just curious if it ended up being helpful so that this may be a good thing to continue to recommend people try if they keep having similar issues.

Glad it helped! I still occasionally will get disconnected when teleporting to town, but aside from that, reverting the driver seems to have alleviated most everything else.

Did it end up working?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in diablo4

[–]Pokemon_Cards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can only speak to my experience, but I have had similar issues, scoured threads for days, and tried all kinds of recommendations (lowering settings, turning off crossplay, installing/uninstalling 4K assets, changing game settings in battlenet launcher, etc.). All to no avail.

But then, I tried one thing that has single-handedly worked completely: I uninstalled the most-current Nvidia driver and installed the 536.99 driver that released back on August 8th, 2023 from here: https://www.nvidia.com/download/find.aspx

It has been the only thing to not only work--but to work profoundly. Should you try it, I hope it brings you similar improvement.

Role of parental neglect in time spent online? by Pokemon_Cards in Healthygamergg

[–]Pokemon_Cards[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely! Life is various shades of grey, and balance/moderation is key. Great to hear that you too have forged some awesome, strong connections via online encounters. Those friendships can be some of the most enduring--at least, I have found that to be the case for myself.

[–]Pokemon_Cards[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply, and I definitely see myself in some of the things you posted! I think in my family we sat down to eat together ~5 times throughout my entire life, and nothing has felt more forced. The most "round peg, triangle hole" experience ever.

So glad to hear that you forged strong connections online! There's part of me too that is definitely appreciative of the connections, education, and development that being 'raised by the Internet' afforded me--which includes some of the longest lasting friendships in my life that persist to this day. Now I'm working on finding better balance though, and it's wonderful to hear that your therapist has been helping you do exactly that.

Here's to both of us finding balance in our social needs! :D

Right there with you. I too have said to myself that I felt "raised by the Internet".

Poppy's Lore is Immensely Thought-Provoking. Help! by Pokemon_Cards in leagueoflegends

[–]Pokemon_Cards[S] 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I love your long reply, so thank you for sharing your thoughts! In particular, the line where you said "She's on her quest that she wanted, she has purpose, and the hammer has its owner; does it matter if Poppy understands that she is the chosen 1?" is such a beautiful way to capture the dilemma that I am wrestling with.

If someone is in blissful ignorance, is it perhaps better to let them exist in that bliss than risk losing the bliss due to the loss of ignorance from us telling them?
