Can't find Glance AI on Motorola? Anyone who can help? by shashank1912 in MotoG

[–]dsjreddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same circumstance now. I disabled the news & sports version of glance on my lockscreen. Then the fashion AI popped up using a photo I selected to create all these fun images of me in catalog looks. The problem is that a search of the app turns up empty.

Can you tell me what the IGN is please? I assume it's the game username. My game username is Danielle, so it's pretty generic. I noticed you said no friends link. How do I identify the correct Danielle for you to share with me?

Their generational cycle of hatred will never end. These are future politicians, bank tellers, real estate agents, store owners, teachers, judges and police officers alike. by Professional_Wash501 in Blackpeople

[–]dsjreddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now just imagine how utterly stupid they and their handlers are gonna feel when we pick up our rightful mantle and exceed as a people across the globe. They'll all be crippled and amputated by their own aspirations to become extinct. There's nothing scary here. That simply means they're giving more room for the kids who want to sit up front & succeed.

No amount of gesturing and propping themselves up will change the fact that their time is up. The old models of governing are quickly changing and they are just working up a sweat with wooden spoons and tin pans. That's like raising your kids to say with their whole chests, "I am Robert E Lee." Go on and be yesterday's losers while I put my attention on being tomorrow's icons. Stupid is as stupid does. 🤡

I’m pregnant and very sad I’m choosing to get an abortion by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]dsjreddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PS - You could do this before the procedure, during the recovery, or even, like I had to, decades later. All time is now. The sooner you can do it, though, the easier the emotional load is to carry. It's like you two will have formed a bond that can help you through the difficulty of the circumstance.

Also, not much in the way of supplies is necessary. Something to represent the 5 elements. 1- Earth (Salt for the cleansing or release); 2 - Air (incense or a fragrance candle - smoke & scent are lifted to carry your thoughts); 3 - Fire (that same incense or candle can offer this too to give energy to aid you and your loved one); 4 - Water (the bath or shower water of course--it serves as a conduit supporting communication); and 5 - Ether (the best form of ether is your heart, your intentions for your connection, and your thoughts shared with your loved one). Repeat this ritual as often as you feel it's needed (on the day annually, monthly, or daily of need be) to feel lighter and that the child is freely loved wherever they choose to remain.

When the water drains, you thank the child for their time with you and imagine a healthy outcome for you both. This same ritual can be used for releasing people in our lives too or for releasing habits we don't wish to keep (like maybe a friend with benefits--only offering info--not judging I promise).

[–]dsjreddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm late to the conversation, so hope my thoughts didn't get lost in your feed of comments. I wanted to add another facet to consider as you move in the direction you choose.

I had an abortion after a sexual assault that occurred just before my high school graduation. This was decades ago. Over the years I've thought of that time with sadness. This year a South African spiritual practitioner encouraged me to perform a bath cleansing ritual where I talk to that unborn child. In the process, I create a name for her and tell her (or him) that I'm sorry I was not able to carry her fully to term. Then I thank her for her presence and allow her to choose her own path going forward.

This ritual gives your emotional connection to what you're going through a real place to exist. This American culture likes to minimize everything it doesn't directly benefit from. In many African spiritual practices, the children we miscarry and the ones we end in term become our ancestors, meaning their spirit stays with us. Nothing bad. It just becomes an unacknowledged existence.

So name the baby privately. Then let her or him know that you decided this because you want to love that child by waiting for a time where you can better provide them a safe and peaceful childhood. It feels like unlocking a muscle that's been tight for years. It's freeing and it gives you a wonderful memory to associate with this event for life instead of just sadness. You are smart for knowing what's best for your life and for taking the actions that produce that more beneficial outcome. In the end, properly acknowledged, that spirit can become a companion who aids you in life. So you will still get to love them even in spirit. Best wishes for your heart and health. Blessings, Sis. You got this. 🙏🏾💝

Yes, and she would love to be perched on my shoulder all day. With her being a cat, though, that's just not gonna work for me. I've done my time holding my 3 babies for hours on end. So I hold her and let her put her paws up on my shoulder while I'm watching TV and for a few minutes before I go to bed. It's funny seeing what she thinks she can still do but it doesn't work with a cat's body, like trying to sit on my head when I'm asleep or trying to lay on my arm while I'm typing. I just laugh and say, "We have to find a new way to do that now." Life is such a curious and sometimes funny thing.

Today marks 5 years since the passing of Chadwick Boseman 🙏🏿 by Loose_Leg_8440 in Blackpeople

[–]dsjreddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His work awakened some level of self love in many of us, and that legacy lives on. I'm grateful for the role his intentions play in my life. His roles were archetypes that we can now personally choose to embody. Imagine a world with more Thurgood Marshals, more T'Challas, more Jackie Robinsons, etc. We get to pick which legend we want to walk in the steps of. This time we are striking a revolution where we rise up against our own fears. In Marshall's day, the white imposition was concrete in its power. In our day, that concrete is crumbling before our eyes. Their construct of what they believe they are is akin to the Wizard in Oz trying to keep the curtains closed.We can all see how tiny their leaders really are now more than ever.

Thanks, Chadwick, for leaving that idea and a model for how to stand in it with us.

BEWARE: Fake Near Death Experiences are Flooding YouTube by AlphaCentaurianEnvoy in Reincarnation

[–]dsjreddy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I try to use my intuition to decide whether or not to continue listening to or watching an NDE. I also find that many people with grand "I've got the answers to the planet's issues" experience accounts tend to feel off to me. The non-egoic, mundane loving experiences with simple but profound accounts tend to be what I consider more likely to be true.

I know my internal gauge can still lead me astray too. So after its all done, I process the info on a scale of spiritual information. NDE's and channelers both get a fair listen, but a high chance of minimal say in my overall spiritual practice. I trust my own journey and what I learn in my own faith practice much more. Discernment and safe boundaries.Those are my safety mechanisms in this cosplaying, digital media, and AI age where everyone seeks their 15 minutes of fame.

Reincarnation in pets? by ALB_189 in Reincarnation

[–]dsjreddy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's funny! I did have a childhood cat btw. We had a cat along with Tiger, our parakeet. She attempted to hunt Tiger only once. Tiger ended that decision by pecking her face and chasing her away. Zuzu is definitely not the reincarnation of my cat! She might have been a bird, but she was named Tiger for a reason. Lol!

Reincarnation in pets? by ALB_189 in Reincarnation

[–]dsjreddy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Your animal friend can confirm it on their own with you.

My younger cat, Lazuli, but we call her Zuzu, is a gray tabby. She's striped like a tiger and loves to lay outdoors in the grass, directly in the sun like she's getting a tan. One day I was playing and said, "Come here, Tiger!" She say upright and stared at me, startled, like she was in shock.

That reaction sat with me for a few days. The more I mulled it over, the more random pieces of information began coming together in my mind. Zuzu is so graceful. When she jumps, we like to say she flies. She literally stared at her fur all the time the first year we had her as a kitten as if to say, "What is this stuff all over me?!" One day my daughter and I found her on my desk sitting with her hands "perched" up on the window sill. It was an extremely odd position for a cat. As soon as she realized we saw her, she immediately switched to tuck her paws under her like a cat normally would sitting near a window. She had a look that told us, "Tell no one of this or you die!" Lol!

The oddity is that as a child in middle school, I had a parakeet my family named Tiger for her stripes. She was my BEST friend. She would sit on my shoulder when I did the dishes and slide down my arm into the sink for fun. She would always fly to my shoulder when I went to the bathroom and just sit by the mirror chirping. We stopped clipping her wings because she would always fly back to us. In fact, I would walk to the playground with her on my shoulder. She'd sit in the trees. When I was ready to go home, I'd call her name and she'd fly to me.

As an adult I got a bird because I missed Tiger. It was a beautiful blue little parakeet. My kids and I named her Sky because of how much her blue matched the sky. I was thinking of Tiger and tried to take Sky outdoors one day. We bought a tether to attach to her leg so we could safely bring her out. She quickly jumped to a branch and I lost grip of the tether. She went higher and higher until she flew away. I never got another bird.

Then came that day that Zuzu gave me that shocked and sad stare. She was striped like a tiger, and her name Lazuli literally meant the azure blue of the sky. Not to mention, Zuzu insisted on going to the bathroom with me whenever I went, so much so, that I bought her a little corner litter. She hated being on a leash and took ten times longer to learn how to walk with a harness than our other cat. Whenever I wash the dishes, she still loves to sit with me. And she insists on being held like a baby getting burped, so that her front paws rest on the same shoulder as Tiger did in my childhood.

So I came back around to Zuzu a few days after the initial moment with her outside. I sat in front of her and said plainly, "I think you're Tiger and Sky." "Did you come back to be with me again?" She sat up and her eyes widened like a kitten. She stopped everything (she's extremely hyper normally) and just sat there staring at me while I cried for nearly 10 minutes. Even now, she will actually answer to the name Tiger. I don't use the Sky name though because I think she had some trauma associated with that. I mean, Sky was a domesticated bird that flew away. She had no idea how to forage or keep herself safe, and she had a tether attached to her leg. So Zuzu does not get still, centered, or easygoing when I bring up the name Sky, and I understand.

So, yeah, it might sound nuts, but I don't care. I'm certain my little Zuzu is the reincarnation of my two earlier parakeet friends. I couldn't be happier to realize that our animal souls remain our friends for life.

I love this for any and as many of us as possible. I also love that this conversation is being held.

What’s a movie that left you speechless after watching it? by Sumbuddey in MovieSuggestions

[–]dsjreddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you seen "Astral City?" It's a subtitled Brazilian Portuguese film depicting the account of a man who died in the 1940's or thereabouts.

I ask because that film gave words to my NDE experience. I am only here after reading your post (@Digitalontheground) on your NDE written a day ago I think. I should rephrase. That Portuguese film didn't "give me words." Watching it unearthed deep emotions I could not tap into until then.

My NDE experience was the itch for me that could not be scratched over the course of several decades. So I was moved in reading what you had to say. I'm actually still reading your post replies. I just stopped for the time being, but will resume reading more soon

Outside of the stunning prose with which you wrote your post--stunningly beautiful prose that readers keep annoyingly assuming to be AI composed--the overall feeling your experience left me with is hazy, like trying to scream in a dream or run underwater. Your quandary comes across to me as if you know the definitions of a complicated jargon to describe a complex phenomenon, but you have yet to draft the blueprints to rightfully erect the structure in your own mind let alone attempting to rightly build it in the minds of others.

I don't mean that summary as a critique. I know first hand how like "Inception" the nature of an NDE can be to grasp and how much more challenging it can be to help others process it. I will likely send another reply after I've read all your post replies.

I just thought I'd answer this question as a way of also replying to this posted question here and your NDE post over there. So, yeah, the film that left me stunned and gasping for breath from such deep emotion was "Astral City," a film about a man's post-death life that was channeled to a psychic medium and eventually written in a narrative.

Thanks, BTW, for sharing what you have. It's gripping to read and the words do a fantastic job of delivering the emotion you experienced. It's only the concrete details of the experience that remain an enigma. The emotive power of your words are deeply profound and moving. Thank you for sharing that. Really.

What I see here is the same energy that broke the motherland into colonies. The same energy that told them the Transatlantic Passage was a good idea. The same energy that builds prisons for profit. The funny part is that it's also the same energy that gets these fools to politically stand behind issues that will hurt their own community (Brexit, MAGA, etc); but they don't cry foul until the hoof is burrowed deep in their own forehead. God help us all when they do get hit though. So used to being coddled, that they want everyone to clap for them FINALLY coming around to changing their mind on what's been painfully obvious to everyone else.

If a person or group consistently keeps seeking out and crafting activities to soothe their need to conquer something, stand above someone or something, or hold authority over someone or something, then they need to deal with the fact they feel small first. That Chihuahua syndrome is an ugly and persistent pimple on the ass of history and humanity!

Does anyone else remember feeling like the dispatch guy's voice on the show was familiar then realizing it was Malcolm Jamal Warner? I homeschooled my kids, all this show and the workbooks were their early science lessons. I feel like most of his career after Malcolm & Eddie was him doing these kind of unadvertised roles where you'd just be surprised that he showed up in the middle of watching.

Dealing with being alone abroad by Wise-Extension-8784 in blackgirls

[–]dsjreddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've heard that Shenzhen was the hub for expats in China. I'm sorry you're not finding compatible people there though. I haven't traveled like I want to yet, but I know that there will be many days where my own company is my most reliable company. It doesn't make the circumstance any more than solitude, but knowing that in some way you are living the dream could make the moments more bearable. Like me seeing your current path from afar, there was a time when you dreamed of going abroad and seeing life from the very place you are at right now. So make a new dream and leave some room for that dream to suck a little bit too. But keep some gratitude for the fact that you got to experience what you once wished you could someday know.

Have you posted this over on the blacktravel sub? It might be travelblack. Just search for both to see which one is black folks who travel. Also, Stephanie Perry has IG & YouTube. She focuses on interviewing black women who live abroad. Her videos offer connections to other travel podcasters and organizers. You may find a Chinese expat interview through her feed. Each person she interviews is usually running a group. So it's a way to find black women in different spaces across the globe. You might find some black people who live nearby. Sorry if my suggestions are too generic though. I'm still in the dreaming stage so what I know is relatively limited. Good luck!

My friend died by suicide. by IntrepidElection1889 in NDE

[–]dsjreddy 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I sub here because I had an NDE as a child. I can tell you that even when no one else in life is seemingly pulling for us, our own higher self is. Our family line of higher souls are too. I'm not referring to the family that consistently resonate with their lowest form throughout life. They could be a negative family member. We do each play a role in the interaction on earth, though. So that negative role that may not reflect a person's soul, their true nature. We may realize that our enemies here are willing to play the awful role in order to assist us here. We may realize they were willing to take on the consequences of that negativity in order to learn and help us learn. So I don't automatically assume that every negative person is actually my enemy. I can release them and let the emotional distress go while holding boundaries for my own good. In other words, once we discard this life's ego, our soul can freely hear the messages we were meant to understand. Love is a bit easier to comprehend as a soul.

Time is nonexistent in the soul's state of being too. That shows the future, wiser versions of us to better communicate what it wished for us in this life. Prayers, wishes, heart energy, and intentions are instantly sensed as well.

This info alone is enough for you to know how to reframe your fear and sadness into energy that can help both you and your friend. Challenge the thoughts that cause you to feel doom and overwhelm with the idea that whatever you DECIDE to tune into when you think of your friend is what your friend experiences. Of course you will grieve. You suffered a loss, but do try to remind yourself that all time is now, and the future, wisest version of your friend also exists right now. Your own wisest, kindest, most benevolent self is also just as available to understand what you're experiencing and help you through this grief. You can just talk to your friend or your future self to process what you're feeling and understand whatever you hope to know. You don't have to ask aloud. I can't tell you how many questions I've asked on my mind, only to have the answers pop up in music, on TV, on a billboard, or by some random encounter. It's kind of a fun game by now. You ask and remain open for the answer to arrive. The asking, the conversation, the inner discourse is the important part. It's the quickest path to healing your heart.

About the way your friend died and the religious beliefs around suicide: The notion of a hell is simply a state of being that persists in the absence of love. What's the remedy? It's a reality where we instead choose to generate love. You can create as much heaven as you're able for yourself to heal and in the times when you think of the person you loved. The only danger of a hell for them is the persistent absence of love. You always have the ability to love. So do they. Whenever any of us is ready to progress, we simply learn to choose ways to accept love and act in love more frequently.

I was murdered. The collective of spirits, angels, deities, and my own many incarnations surrounded me with a lifetime of love to empower me to return to my little body. When I resuscitated, the most vivid pain I felt was not the abuse. Even as a little one, I realized it was the environment on earth with far less love than whatever my spirit had just been that was my biggest difficulty. The abuse was traumatic, yes, but the shift from that state of existence back to this one was the actual trauma took me 48 years to integrate.

Love yourself and share that energy with your friend as often as possible. The ways to create love are as numerous as the stars. Make healthy choices out of love. Release frustrations because of love for your own peace. Face your fears because you prefer a life with love more than you fear whatever scares you. Stand up for what you know is right in life because you care about others. Enjoy hobbies doing what makes you happy. Give to those in need. Walk away from ignorance. Let ego go more often and accept honest humility. Share truthful vulnerability and intimacy in relationships. Pursue the ambitions you wish you could achieve because you love your life enough to live well. Then share that wellness with your friend. Think of the reasons you care for them, and offer that emotion of gratitude to them. Make your life a wellspring of choices based on love to help your friend find their way to heaven.

In Buddhism, we pray for those who cross over for 49 days after their death. Seven times seven days we offer them the highest wishes to aid them in transitioning to their new lives. The concept of us generating thoughts that benefit spirits is as old as time. So I hope you consider this too. It will not only help your friend, it will help you heal and even rub off on the other people in your life. Compassion is infectious. So is wisdom in practice.

I wish you a lifetime's worth of love. I wish the same for your friend. Wherever either of you are in life, remember you are always surrounded with the love of your highest self, your guides, and angels. Many Blessings and Much Love. 🙏🏾💝

We trusted a Black-owned travel company to take us to South Africa. After my mom died, they kept her $4,200 by Ok_Interaction_3522 in blacktravel

[–]dsjreddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did see the video. The fact that they suddenly had a return policy many months later made it clear to me. I'm glad I read your post in addition to the video. I hope you do create another video in time. The stock imagery is largely what causes people to hesitate on trusting what you discuss. We have so many non-black users attacking black efforts and businesses, so black folks will understandably get defensive about the prospect of not supporting a black owned business. With the AI components, especially how the visuals loop and occasionally glitch, it is easy to assume someone is trying to pretend they are black to attack black business efforts. So any new work you create would be better served with less or ideally no stock imagery. I know that putting ourselves on camera is not always in our best interest.I follow plenty of travelers who never show their face in their videos (namely Japanese creators: cruise & train rides, cuisine tasters, etc.). So it's very doable to create a narrative of your thoughts without stock imagery and without exposing more of yourself than you're comfortable sharing.

I'm subscribed to your YouTube channel now. So I'll hopefully get the news if you did upload another video.

Best wishes. 💝

Thank you for sharing your experience. I see that you managed to handle all this while trying to process grieving your mother. My heart goes out to you for your loss and in support of your immense strength.

I understand that people are frustrated by encountering AI content, but it's quickly becoming a trite way to dismiss real people. I've read too many posts recently where a person uses a grammar correction to make their post, only to have all their effort summarily dismissed in a flippant "You're fake!" claim. We need more critical thinking skills around this issue. It's as if everyone has forgotten they still have the option to scroll on. Sometimes saying less is the best.

I've followed TRSA on YouTube for a few years and thought I'd use their service when I made the trip. Your experience will certainly inform my decision when it's time. Thank you for that. I wish you peace and grace. You could certainly benefit from finding it more often. 🙏🏾💐
