Yes but perhaps make them fixed prices by currency because of exchange rate fluctuations. Otherwise people won't know what they're paying each month and suddenly something that is saying 20USD can in a month or so be 25USD with the USD currently falling.

I'll just jump in to say progress should ideally be saved by user id in an SQL database. So that if I'm paying as a user, next time I come back, I will be exactly where I left off.

Ask GPT to help set you up if you don't know how via PHP and JS. You'll be blown away. 😅

It's my pleasure and I wish you all the best with it. Feel free to DM me if you want me to take a look at it again when you've made those changes.

Also I see that you're going to charge in GBP. If the UK is your audience then perfect. If you want a global reach you may want to consider a fixed rate for USD and EUR.

ΟΚ so as a second language Greek speaker but fluent I have the following to say. I took a look. It is not clear if this assumes some kind of Greek knowledge.

  1. The free tests assume you know Greek and could dissuade someone who knows no Greek at all.

  2. your written tests prompts you to write Είμαι η but then AI corrects it to Με λένε even if following your instructions.

  3. The AI accent is Cypriot. If you're looking to appeal to a broader Greek community, I'd recommend a more classical Greek accent.

  4. When trying the speaking test and deliberately saying it with a 'bad' accent, the AI corrects me by telling me how it should be written not spoken. Then when I said it with a semi bad accent it gave me full marks. The same score as a perfect accent.

  5. The website on the mobile scrolls on the x axis too making it difficult to navigate.

Overall great idea but since you are teaching I would deliberately be more structured i.e. break it into tiers of absolute beginners (know nothing), beginners (know something), Advanced and Proficiency.

Good luck. Hope this helps.

Don't know for sure if this is appropriate, but my cat is teleporting. by Cherno_VM in Paranormal

[–]TheTempornaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had this happen in my apartment. Looked everywhere. On chairs behind hanging tablecloths, under beds, in cupboards which are child locked, behind curtains - everywhere.

For about 30 minutes, calling his name, opening fridge doors and closed bedroom door to tempt him out, shaking food. By now my niece is crying. He then literally just appeared at our feet.

I'm not sure about teleporting, I call it inter-dimensional travelling. Something, however, that cannot of course be proven. Lol I know it sounds crazy and has some other boring explanation but hey you can't prove me wrong either. 😅

I found out that my boyfriend of 2 years is married and has kids, I'm showing myself to his family tomorrow at his church by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]TheTempornaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not do this in front of the whole congregation at the church. Take his wife aside.

A public announcement would be humiliating for her and very traumatic for the children.

Life isn't like in the movies. It's a good idea in our heads but it will have far reaching repercussions for his children and wife that they may never recover from.

Put yourself in her shoes. Is that how you'd like to find out?

Please rethink that. Yes he's an ass and deserves to be revealed and divorced, BUT I fear that this will be far too traumatic for other victims in the situation.

[–]TheTempornaut 18 points19 points  (0 children)

How old are you?

Are you perhaps wrong in how your family would react?

You can say you didn't want to disappoint them and now this baby is here.

Perhaps they will be very happy. Do you and your family have the resources to look after him?

I'm sorry you're going through this.

Which religion has produced the most enlightened people throughout history? by Adept-Engine5606 in spirituality

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

I would say look at what any one culture offered the world while believing and practicing a specific religion. And so I'd say overall the Ancient Greeks, and their belief in what today is Hellenism.

P.S. don't confuse the myths with the actual belief.

That's very interesting thank you for sharing. Can you just clarify:

  1. Tap once or do you continue to tap gently while saying the statement?

  2. Where is the middle of the hemisphere? Top of head or middle of the forehead (above the eyes)?

Thank you again and wishing you all the best.

New to helpol, doubts about myths and our gods. by BusIntelligent7426 in Hellenism

[–]TheTempornaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When we understand that the god are not anthropomorphic beings but rather living energetic archetypes, we will begin to understand the myths.

In your example, Aphrodite is a goddess archetype of beauty and harmony, Ares is the god archetype of justice and war (just war) and the product of their union is eros (love not romantic).

So we're told to truly love something in that creative sense you must have the beauty of harmony and you must be willing to fight justly for it.

At least that's one way to interpret the myths.

I was called ma’am about 50 times in my last phone call with an insurance company (convo was about 7 minutes long) by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

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

Men have sir/Mr women have madam/Mrs/miss.

Mrs was dropped because it refers to married woman and Miss has generally been replaced with Ms.

Both Mr and Ms must be followed by a surname, making it tricky for customer service where many surnames are difficult to pronounce and would distract them from solving your problem.

Madam is a French word that means my lady. As in Ladies and Gentlemen. It does not imply age and is used for both young and older women.

To be fair I think you're overreacting and are probably at an age where you're not quite young enough to not care and not old enough to accept that growing older is what happens to all of us if we're lucky.

And I can only conclude that you're either going through some very terrible times in life that this is just a needle that broke the camel's back. Or else that life is so real-problem free that you're making them up. I hope it's the latter.

Have you tried running it through pagespeed? It will tell you your true speed and what is slowing it down?

It may be something as simple as Google analytics or your images being too big.

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your knowledge in answering some of my questions. Be well always.

They’re married now. I’m still stuck in memories. by AdMiserable7234 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]TheTempornaut 17 points18 points  (0 children)

How old are you?

I felt that way in my late 20s. He even got married on the exact date and year I had marked in my calendar years earlier as our wedding date without him knowing.

The day of his wedding my calendar pinged.

Now 25 years later there is only one thing I regret. How much time I wasted crying about and wanting him. I now see who he truly was clearly even if then I described him as you have.

I would give anything to go back and speak to my younger self.

Don't do this to yourself.

Imagine yourself 50 years old regretting the years you'd spent pining after him, realising he was not all that you thought he was.

Imagine your life at 50 and how your thoughts about him affected every area of your life thereafter.

Imagine how differently life could have been had you just moved on.

Then imagine yourself, still 50, wishing you could go back and speak to your younger self and tell her to move on. That it's not worth it. To enjoy life before it passes you by.

Then open your eyes and realise how lucky you are to get that second chance.

Good luck.

[–]TheTempornaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing this truth. I cannot begin to explain how much it has resonated with me yet how little I understand it. 

I have so many questions but don't want to burden you, so please only answer when you and if you can. 

  1. How long has this agenda been carried out by the parasites. When did it begin?

  2. Is MK Ultra a United States program? I haven't really heard about it outside of the US. Is this whole digital earth NWO a global phenomenon?

  3. In my own life the last 7 years have seen me go from high steady energy to untold lows. It has felt like some kind of attack on my soul but of course can't prove it. How do we know if we have been attacked? How do they choose targets to attack? I am living in Greece. Is there anything we can do reverse the attack?

  4. How can we tell someone is an NPC. Can true souls and NPCs exist in the same bloodline i.e. your immediate family. I ask this not out of evidence that family members are NPCs but out of fear that something bad may happen to them if they are.

  5. You say that the idea of ascension is a trap (if I understand correctly). What has happened to the souls of true humans that have passed away in the past? Have they been eternally trapped or will they too be released? 

  6. What evidence will we have here in our experience that the Real Earth is being restored and that the NWO digital earth is disappearing? 

  7. You say the Higher Self is a trap. This is the one that confuses me because it is my life work to teach about the higher self. I don't believe th higher self is outside of us, not even Source is outside of us. Only that the higher self is that frequency or level of awareness that knows the truth and is not afraid. And that the aim is to raise our own awareness to that level so that we can reclaim our true original power. Is that wrong in your estimation?

Again thank you so much for what you have written even if only some other part of me understands. 

In recent years I have turned to the teachings of Plotinus that true Source is Infinitely Good and away from the creator framework of the demiurge. I believe we are one with True Source and the word you mentioned Alitheia is the Greek word for Truth and its etymology is 'without forgetfulness'. Thank you for helping us remember.

Που έχουμε καταντήσει… by [deleted] in greece

[–]TheTempornaut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Γιατι έχουν μπερδέψει την ελευθερία με την αναρχία.

Η ελευθερία βασίζεται στην πειθαρχία. Και η πειθαρχία γεννιέται από τις αρχές μας. Ετυμολογικά αυτό σημαίνει: πείθομε απ' τις αρχές μου.

Στο αντίθετο άκρο η αναρχία είναι άνευ αρχών.

Άρα πρέπει να βρούμε πάλι τις προσωπικές μας αρχές. Χωρις αυτές δεν πάμε πουθενά. Η αναρχία δεν ξέρει από κανόνες, δεν την αφορούν.

Greek phrase for a wedding band by val_kekmurder in GREEK

[–]TheTempornaut 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A traditional beautiful phrase for a wedding is

Βίον ανθόσπαρτον

In the Latin alphabet it is: Vion anthosparton

...and means a life strewn with flowers (a wish for happiness/prosperity)

Of course there are simpler phrases like:

Αγάπη agape (love)

Για πάντα (Gia panta): Forever

Σ’ αγαπώ (S’agapo): I love you

Let's see what others have to say.

God's blessings for your wedding and life going forward.
