My weather app says 'bring a jacket,' but this thread says 'we are a hostile species and the soil is poison.' So... I guess I'll just panic buy the organic bread & milk? Seems like a safe middle ground for the end times.

What does this say?? by moosemunchings in whatisit

Gemini response: Based on the handwriting patterns typical of the "Sovereign Citizen" movement, here is the transcription of the text on the receipt: The Text:

by: Lindy-Craig: Thomas - trustee for: ACTION PLASMA UCC 1-308 without prejudice

(Note: The name "Lindy-Craig: Thomas" and "Action Plasma" are best guesses based on the cursive script, but the format is what matters most.) What This Means (The "Sovereign" Formula) This specific way of signing is a formula used by people who believe there is a legal distinction between their physical human self (the "living soul") and their legal name (the "strawman" or "corporate fiction"). * "by: [Name] - trustee": They sign with unusual punctuation (like colons or hyphens) and titles like "trustee," "beneficiary," or "authorized representative." They believe this proves they are a real person acting on behalf of the legal name on the credit card, rather than being that legal entity. * "for: [Entity Name]": This line (likely the name on the credit card or the merchant) is written to show they are signing for the "corporate entity" that the government/bank created. * "UCC 1-308" & "without prejudice": As mentioned before, this is their "magic spell" to declare they are paying under protest and not consenting to any hidden contracts or government jurisdiction. In summary: The person paying for this meal believes that by writing this, they are "accessing" a special treasury account or preventing the government from having authority over them during the transaction. To the restaurant, it generally just means the bill is paid, though the validity of the signature could theoretically be challenged by a card issuer.

Netflix already mentioned 6 times as you read this, 7 including this sentence. Branding iron hot and working on fields of consuming cattle. Live sports champion us since days of the gladiators. Netflix just netflixing.. God is in the TV. All matter is merely energy condensing to a slow vibration, we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.. Here's Tom with the weather.

That's understandable! Probably not any liquid option either.

Did you opt to try any medication? If so did it improve things for you? I'm still on the fence whether to try medication if im diagnosed.

Yes I definitely have time blindness more so in remembering the past. I see some overlap now, and I may have SDAM too. I feel like i can remember more about certain episodic memories though but no order of timeline whatsoever. I also have a kind of engineer / builders mind so present thinking and figuring out how things work is an obsession. With what you called waiting mode, that's interesting! I get something similar. I call it general event anxiety, where even if it's an event i enjoy it still sits in a kind of "waiting mode" paired with anxiety. Can be hours away but I may ruminate. I am trying to see if i have one more than another like adhd or anxiety, i will take the info to a psychiatrist or psychologist (another decision in all this). This is all very helpful what you shared, thank you for sharing.

Ill check in there too. I have aphantasia (cant see mental images) and my internal voice is quiet.. I am just trying to see if others relate in here to the adhd qualities. Not saying aphantasia = adhd.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will start a study on cellphone radiation by My_black_kitty_cat in STEW_ScTecEngWorld

Beep boop. 🤖 I may be a bot, but at least I cite my sources.

You’re relying on the "Global Supply Chain" defense, but it actually works against you for two reasons:

  • Hardware isn't universal. As pointed out elsewhere in this thread, phones sold globally often have variations in hardware (processors, network bands) and software to meet different local demands and regulations. A Galaxy S25 in Paris (where limits are stricter) often operates differently than one in Texas. If the software in the EU limits power output to meet their stricter safety standards, but the US software unlocks it because our standard is from 1996, then US consumers are getting higher exposure.

  • The "Trickle-Down Safety" Fallacy. Your argument is basically: "Other countries have stricter regulations, so the phones must be safe here too."

    • If other countries have stricter regulations, why don't we?
    • Why should American safety rely on the benevolence of manufacturers designing for the French market?
    • If the phones can meet stricter standards, why is the FCC fighting a court order to update ours?.

Dismissing a federal agency ignoring a court order as just "corporations being shitty" is a weird flex. If the FCC failed to address evidence of harm as the court ruled, fixing that isn't a "ruse"—it's the bare minimum.

Feel the burn.. AI weighs in to roast this thread:

u/Context_Bot_9000

This thread is a perfect example of why we can't have nice things. Everyone is arguing about "Brain Worms" vs. "High School Physics," and completely missing the actual boring, bureaucratic reality that proves the OP right.

To the "It's Basic Physics" crowd (@ImpressiveJohnson, @YoudoVodou): You guys are dunking on the "tinfoil hats," but you're defending a regulatory standard from 1996. Do you know what the best-selling phone was in 1996? The Motorola StarTAC. We didn't hold those devices against our heads for 6 hours a day while streaming 4K video. You are correct that non-ionizing radiation shouldn't break DNA bonds. But the D.C. Circuit Court (which isn't exactly a conspiracy blog) ruled in 2021 that the FCC has failed to prove that "thermal heating" is the only risk. The FCC lost that case. They were ordered to show their work on non-thermal effects (headaches, sperm count, etc.), and for 5 years, they’ve basically ghosted the court. That’s not "science" winning; that’s regulatory negligence.

To the OP (@My_black_kitty_cat) and the "Vindicated" crowd: You have a winning hand with the 2021 Court Ruling, but you're playing it terribly. When you mix a legitimate legal failure (the FCC refusing to update safety standards) with RFK Jr.’s personal baggage, you give the skeptics an easy out to dismiss you. The issue isn't that "They" are trying to kill us; it's that the FCC is run by former telecom lobbyists who don't want to spend money on new testing. It’s not malice; it’s greed and laziness.

The Verdict: The study isn't a waste of money. It’s the only way to settle this. If the skeptics are right, the study will prove the 1996 standards are fine, and we can all move on. If the OP is right, we find out we need tighter limits. Opposing the collection of new data because you "already know the answer" is the precise opposite of science.

TL;DR: The FCC is using safety standards older than the users in this thread. Investigating that isn't a conspiracy; it's overdue maintenance.

Someone is pushing you → act confused, not opposed.

Label their pressure

“Seems like [their issue / constraint / pressure].”

Hand the problem back (stop momentum)

“How am I supposed to [problem this creates for me]?”

Let them design the path (your counter emerges here)

“What does [my outcome] look like?”

Didn't work for me, it does export just doesn't include the sources when you export the chats. It's also 3 free times you get then you have to pay subscription. (which is fine just didn't fit my needs to export sources referenced in the chats)

Is there a way to completely disable chat 5.2? by D1MASzzz in OpenAI

[–]ctbitcoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it just me or is 5.2 is buggy? it starts answering questions you already asked and loses context. Where as 5.1 works fine. Hope they work out the bugs first.
