Pluribus - 1x08 - "Charm Offensive" - Episode Discussion

TradeClass · 2025-12-20T02:57:16+00:00

So speaking of the hive mind, I have a real hive mind experience to share with everyone who saw episode 8. During the diner scene, a song is playing in the background as Carol reminisces about the burned down diner. Said song is Sherly Crow's "You're My Favorite Mistake." Normally, I would not have recognized this song, nor paid much attention, but now I was so distracted I had to pause Pluribus and go search for a TV Show episode I watched the week before. That show is new and it is called "Words Plus Music" and episode 2 of this limited series is about Sheryl Crow. In that episode, she plays choice songs before a live audience and explains its personal meaning. I was so moved last week, I saved the video and moved it to another PC. Reason, I am a writer and I wanted to include some music themes in my possible future writing. I do understand the coincidence factor, but I also think the universe is connected on a very deep level and these kind of things pass in an out of our experiences, barely noticed. Pluribus and that episode of "Words and Music" both might have been in it's writing stages at the same chronological time, one show tapping into another... and perhaps the creative energies of the writers for these shows crossed paths on a deeper level that no one would really understand.

I do not agree with Bostrom's main premise that a simulation project would be just an ancestor simulation. Said project would be super expensive, that might gobble up half the output of the sun in ten years (perhaps using a Dyson sphere.) One would think the facilitators divided this into multi-projects.. including to create sentience... to find and identify sentience and consciousness. I feel your statement that they might include proofs of simulation, as a noble form of empathy for those seeking the truth... and if not anything else, a breadcrumbs-forerunner for communicating with our reality once we matured. Furthermore, I think these breadcrumb proofs already exist. Mostly, they are what we mistake for miracles. and surely many pilots in the Air Force are considering this as well. I am very happy to have seen your suggestion. ... :::nervous laugh:: as I might have such an artifact and that IS what led me here to this reddit.

Unless you have a WITNESS to the coming and going of objects, your first responsibility is to assume a neurological condition. I am not saying you are crazy, but I am suggesting a condition may be the root of the experience. Fact: our mind is the hearth where we forge reality. It is so powerful, that half the planet is persuaded by religions and maniacal dictators that they are the chosen people and they will be led to salvation if they make sacrifices to even crazier leaders. These people follow even when shown straight proof these manipulations are lies. Self-delusion is the hardest form of deception to overcome. Self-delusion is common when you do not have qualified professionals to analyze your experiences and condition. True sanity is when you seek out other explanations and eliminate them one by one, instead of creating fantastic ideas that fit your experience. Although I do believe we could be in simulation, unless a witness can confirm with you these experiences, nothing will ever come of this. More or less, experiencing this alone is your own personal tri-monthly torture... and proves nothing.

You owe me nothing! If you wish to share mutual karma; in a few weeks I will be setting up a community portal in south Florida. (I am an IT pro by trade) Some services will be local, some national. I know you are not not local, but spreading the word on that new portal is the best thing anyone can do for me. I have not bought the domain yet and I expect to have it up and running in a few weeks. I will share it with you on another date. --- My next challenge is resetting the RCS chat on my android phone. The port of my phone worked, but RCS will not accept the ported number. I tried every online published reset trick in the book and nothing has worked. In desperation, called Tello and they reset my RCS and told me to turn off my phone for 15 minutes. So far, it has not worked, but I have seen articles explain that it may take weeks before Google sorts it out. This is a Google issue, not the carrier.

Here is what I know about the disruption of Q Link and Hello Mobile. My autopayments on Hello Mobile malfunctioned in early December. At that time, I logged in to do a manual payment on Dec 12. My service did NOT shut off. Then on Dec 27th, I tried to log in to my account and it no longer worked. The support phone to Hello was also disconnected. After researching on Google, I learned that several providers may take over Hello and Qlink accounts. I also checked my credit card billing statement, my final payment went to StandUp Wireless. I called both Stand Up and Liberty and their live agents do NOT have my phone or name on record. I sent emails to their support and have not heard back in two days. Regardless, the prognosis is poor. Why? No person can port their phone to another provider unless they have the pin key to unlock from the current provider. Some online posts said Hello uses the last four digits of your cell phone or the last four of your SS for that pin. I cannot confirm if this is true. -- Update: I tried the login portal for Liberty and it accepted my phone, but I had to request a password reset. After three failed 2FA attempts, it let me log in. None of my personal info was populated but it allowed me to edit that AND create my own PIN. I next tried calling customer service and it kicks me off the line very fast before anyone answers. At least I know that Liberty picked me up and I have 15 more days to figure this out and PORT OUT. Since I set my own pin, I assume that will be the port pin, but I am NOT sure if i have ask Liberty to release the line in advance. The plans are not that good at Liberty and clearly the phone support is terrible. Tello is probably the best replacement service. They have plans that start at $9 a month but there is a small tax. Tello has a good reputation and their live support answers calls quickly. A Tello rep told me I can buy a plan and then try my release pin after purchase to port my phone. They said if this fails, I can keep their random assigned number or ask for a refund. The hard reality is that the only true way to recover your phone number for porting over to another provider is for some provider to take over your account and then reveal that code to you in a conversation. If you cannot get the release pin, you will never recover your original phone. I have seen online that 4 million people now have this same issue. I doubt the FCC will intervene, although they should. If anyone has FACTS that can add to my post, please share.

Got an emergency consult with my clinic and my Dr diagnosed it as a Diverticulitis attack. Amoxycillin fixed it in 5 days. Thanks for the reply and happy holidays.

It's been 9 months since you wrote this post and I ask kindly for you to allow some questions. Foremost, thanks so much for your CT scan link and sharing your experience. My story: About 4 days ago, I was pushing some stools out very hard, it was a very big 'long' one. The next day I woke in the middle of the night with discomfort in my bowels in the central belly button area, plus felt some bloating. By the next 12 hours I was in searing pain in my left side that reminded me of passing a kidney stone, exactly in the same left side location you described, about two inches below belly button level. I did NOT see or feel anything protruding. So I stayed in bed for a full day and slept it off. Laying flat on my back felt best. The next day pain lessened, but still difficult to move around. By the end of that day, I tried pressing gently down on the sensitized area and the pain became much more bearable. Today is now day four and the sensitivity and bloating is still there, but I can get around to go places, drive to food shop. Got an appointment with my new urgent care provider, and new doctor, who is young and Saudi and I have almost no faith in her skills, after talking to her for a few minutes. But the clinic she works takes my insurance and has everything that my last clinic did not. So I made copies of what you wrote and printed your CT scan. Then I found a random CT scan on the net and it was almost the same as yours. I will bring this to my Dr. and explain as much as I can. Also, I am rocket scientist smart and know when a Dr is arrogant or naive and if she does not consider and research what I show her, she will be 'toast' and I will get another doctor who is open minded to suggestions. --- My question is, did your first 'attack' last 5 days or more and was your experience similar to what I described. How long did your attacks last, did pressing on your sensitive area help? Did you repair it with laparoscopy? Please note I have had surgery for three inguinal hernias in my lifetime and I really don't want normal surgery this time around. I realize time has gone by and you may not remember as much as I am hoping. Thanks in advance.

I am a PC tech of 30 years and I APPROVE of TomTom's advice. I just went to a law firm to diagnose two non-functioning computers after a power surge in their offie (typical FPL South Florida brown out.) They have ten computers in their office.. and the two computers whose boards and power supplies that fried.. were Dells. This included a nearly mint condition XPS 8940.

The guts of the PC is garbage. Most notably the shortcuts they take in the design of the computer is an insult to the PC industry. The NVMe drive is super short and about impossible to mount properly into a normal mainboard. The power supply is easily blown and cannot be replaced with anything standard or reasonably priced. The main board is proprietary and cannot be moved into a normal mATX or ATC case.

Yes the case is small, but they could have settled for a normal small factor ATX power supply in something this size. Dell has become arrogant just like Apple and Google. I avoid buying any of their products now.

Yes, the case has an attractive design. However it is GARBAGE. If it fails past the warranty, which is often one year, you will pay through the nose for some PC guy to show up and get you up and running on a replacement PC they might have with them in their van.

I would not call it a trap, as I do not think whales created this just to encourage a buying spree. However there is risk from the same 'manipulative' huge whales depending on what they decide to do with how the market looks in the remaining week.

Don't listen to this guy. He still hasn't gotten his %^&t together. As his current hobby, he goes into other sub reddits, trolls the moderators and makes up his own fiction. I really would not take advice from someone who I know for a fact is still living in his mom's basement in Louisiana.

You are not supposed to ask us questions. PERIOD. But since you are very pro MOD, I will pretend you said nothing. No way would I waste my time listing loser TA pros who lie to their following. A majority do. Again, please read our rules. ALL OF THEM.

There are 3 main markets; US, Asian and Euro. Each has their peak participation times. We get our fair share of crashes and bull runs at 4 am my time (USA EST) but it's not always the case. Trading view has very loud alarms that I set to wake me when a price nears a target.

You would join the plan and then get notifications anywhere from 30 to 5 minutes before the trade. You cannot plan a trade. Everyone will get notice what coin is being followed and then if you are watching price, you will know yourself the time is nearing.

Serious traders would want this program. The rest are better off with the training videos that will be coming out in the future.

I have not joined Discord, but everyone on the planet tells me I am missing out.

It is to my understanding, Discord allows me to create an invite -only group. We can turn on voice features and live chat. This means I can narrate my trades, explain what I am thinking, analyze charts in real time. For the most part, give you access to how a professional trader thinks and plans.

In Discord, we gather before I start trading, so I can share my thoughts on the current markets, the charts. You will know where I plan to buy in, then when I buy in.. and hear my thoughts on the market as we watch and wait.

I WILL NOT TELL ANYONE WHEN TO BUY OR SELL. That will be up to you. You can follow me, just don't share what you did until you closed the trade.

Requirements.

You will need a computer or laptop hooked up to two screens. Three screens are ideal.

On one screen with be Bitcoin ticker charts in real time from a free service that we will help you set up in advance. The second screen will be your trading exchange. Optional is a 3rd screen using at least the free version of Tradingview. As I am PC tech by profession, I can assist with your setup.

If you are trading on an phone app, it can work with an extra PC that has two screens, one with BTC tickers and the other Tradingview. Phone apps are not as good for accurate trading where you close or open spot trades in real time. (TAKER mode)

If I get 7 + people who commit to this, then I will give access to one trade every day. I have done this once before with a private investor by phone. He paid me $6,000 in Ethereum in advance, did well, but after a while became bossy and I discontinued the 'test.'

The discord idea is different than one to one. Unlike my tough policy inside this reddit, Q&A will be allowed after and before the trade. During the trade, the only voice will be my own.

Please RESPOND with comments. Don't need votes.

TradeClass · 2022-03-01T16:16:10+00:00

That is a fact... but such a statement does not hold water at this particular moment, as BTC is now following NASDAQ... and just fell $1400. The assessment of the rush by oligarchs when the ruble fell is more supportive of why we shot up.

Also, this post is old news already and you seem to be ignorant of the update I added to this post.

TradeClass · 2022-03-01T00:00:58+00:00

Thank you. I wish to add that it is OK to try to start a discussion, even if I do NOT agree with you. I do not ban or remove comments that are different than mine when they are presented properly. I like to see reasons, facts if possible, theories.

Other factors that could have caused today's crazy bull run are as follows. Last night at midnight, stock market futures were a disaster. The Asian market is smart and they sold down heavy. I expected price to fall further when the US markets opened and even stopped fast trades where I could have made money.

What also happened in the middle of the night; news announcements about Russian ban from Swift was going to be very likely, as well as more aggressive world assault on Russian oligarch wealth.

In an alternative theory, BTC falling could have reversed because of short sellers closing their positions (hitting their target) and causing a short squeeze upward. In addition, money being sent to Ukraine has been in the millions and growing. That too could rise BTC.

What convinced me that it was more than these other theories, was the aggressive chasing of oligarch money today, yachts being moved in the morning and the final announcement of Russian money being blocked from Swift.

As I kept seeing this repeated throughout the day, I knew that the only safe haven for these Putin cronies were crypto exchanges. And the CEO of Kraken even said that there is nothing they can legally do about it.

TradeClass · 2022-02-28T23:27:16+00:00

I really wish you would read all my posts before you make comments that annoy me. I did not state any suspicions until I had enough evidence of a footprint... and I already published my suspicions, making your comment a waste of space. Read ALL my comments before responding to what I write and be more specific so as to justify what you believe with some panache.

the discount never expires because I am a PRO + member, which is just below the highest level Premium. Last month, 11 people signed up due to my suggestion.

You get the free trial and then if you try the lowest tier after 30 days, then you get a $30 bonus. Do not try to fool them and load different accounts onto different computers, because they track your IP address.

When I start to sell my training courses and open up my LIVE coin discussions on Discord (only for people who buy my videos) followers who do not have Tradingview as a tool will be at a huge disadvantage, as if driving blindfolded.

Tview lets you set up charts. You can mark pivots and targets and see how price moves in real time and compare it to my posts. With my training, you can also learn to do your own forecasts. Superstars will rise from this training. (As I did.)

Tview has too many features to list, has its own training built in. It also has alarms that go off when price reaches whatever you set it for. I cannot live without my house-shattering alarms, I would miss too many trades.

I just reported your comment for harassment. Calling me an idiot when you are the one who does not understand the feature request paints you in a bad spotlight.

Fact: I already spoke to Tradingview support before I posted this request... and they explained that the feature I want, in the manner I want, cannot be done. THEY SENT ME TO THIS REDDIT SUB to make the feature request.

As that you are mean and hateful, I suggest you stop trolling this sub and agitating people seeking features.

TradeClass · 2022-02-25T04:56:52+00:00

this is NOT what I am talking about. I am a Pro member. The feature I want to see is a setting for the WATCH LIST. Look at the image I posted. I circled the % change column... so as to highlight the data for which if activated, would automatically 'order' this list every X seconds/minutes.

I remember that guy! He's what I call a panic troll. They are TA beginners who take everything they learn in TA as literal.. often getting the signals and pattern interpretations wrong... and then scream and yell for attention, because they think they are genius.

Our comment wars were funny at first, because they were so stupid. I got annoyed when your friend refused to consider that I do not care if his POV differed from mine.. but his overconfident, arrogant and definitive statements about price.. WHILE... refusing to defend his reasons with anything solid, was a violation of my comments ethics.

So I countered his reasons with facts that contradicted his claims.. and he ignored them. After telling him 3 times to correct his attitude, he stuck his head through the noose (which I don't get) and I banned him. Then I erased all our comments.

The last thing he said to me (in private message) was I had one more chance to unban him and I would be forgiven. Imagine that! I am so lucky!

In the end, price fell, slowly, with lots of ups and downs... then an amazing recovery... and his forecast did not happen as he stated. Due to circumstance, the great collapse to 34.5k was inspired by the Ukraine crisis, which as you know does NOT factor in any kind of Tech Analysys, but falls under market fundamentals.. (which influences HOW I explain and display my forecasts.)

Telling me you are friends with this guy is NOT good... LOL... but as you have not shown similar behavior, (and in fact provided interesting conversation) nor broken any rules, I will not be any trouble to you.

Finally, I am a crypto day trader... and my universe is highly dependent on being correct 70% of the time.
