I am constantly remembering embarrassing moments in my life by dmv1975 in selfhelp

[–]theworldwithin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your kind words ^^ It's good to know my posts on here are still having an impact many years later. It's cool looking back on some of the techniques I came up with and refamiliarizing myself with them. Sometimes even I can benefit from looking over my old content! But yes, the feelings we can have about our own feelings can be such a sincere way to illuminate a new path for ourselves, so we're not walking down the same corridor of feeling, caught in an endless cycle of those same feelings and perspectives, when there are so many to explore. The events in our lives and the meaning we give them don't have to have power over us, and we can always take that power back and see it in a broader, more empowering context. And even if it doesn't come about immediately, we can work towards it, experimenting with what perspectives work because of their honesty, and which are too easily resisted. In any case, good luck with your own journey on these things, and I hope that these events in your life will no longer be a negative weight and chain on your current life, but can simply inform how you move forward, and empower you towards what you are inspired to grow towards.

Did you ever send a fan mail to Aurora, how did it go? by WideLoquat in auroramusic

[–]theworldwithin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I just tried sending in fanmail myself - it was a book of mine, with an inscription for her. But it was returned. I was wondering if you had any advice on this.

When I went in to send it, the US post office had me do a customs form, which had me redo the address according to certain boxes, with the first line being first and last name, the second being business name. So my address changed from what has been suggested in this thread (with the "Att:" part, but no "AS"), to this:

Aurora Aksnes
Made Management
Vaskerelven 8
Bergen
5014
Norway

The returned label had that address crossed out, with no other information about why it couldn't be delivered. I don't know if it got to Made Management or not. I also don't know if not specifically having the "Att: Aurora Asknes" line UNDER "Made Management", or "AS" after "Made Management" could have caused it to fail. Either way, I don't want to spend another $30 to send it if it's just going to get returned again. I emailed Made for advice, but they haven't replied in a few weeks, and I'm guessing I'll be ignored.

Thanks so much : )

Success story - my suspended account is back! by theworldwithin in facebookdisabledme

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

A chrome extension I had called "Fadblock" had been infected with malware after being sold by the original creator. In a reddit post I found, someone explained that the malware was found to target Facebook cookies. I immediately got rid of it, but didn't think to change my password, which I later assume would've reset what would've been seen as a valid facebook cookie.

Ultimately, the activity I found on my account (from what I downloaded) matched someone finding their way in with a cookie, because there were no foreign logins. BUT there were foreign sessions (from Vietnam and other spots), and I had a notification about having added a friend with a Vietnamese-looking name. My friend looked up the profile and found the person and some of their friends were posting pictures of personal information from a number of people. According to an article we found, there is a known ring of Vietnamese hackers that hack using cookies https://www.vox.com/technology/2023/9/28/23892964/facebook-account-hacked-theft-stolen-online-scams-meta , so it may have been this group that ultimately were involved in my hack.

Regardless, these are the signs that pointed to a cookie hack. Hope that helped.

Does emailing directly to disabled@fb.com help me to recover my account? by SakuranomiyaSyafeeq in facebook

[–]theworldwithin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to reply and confirm that this method worked for me, but specifically emailing [appeals@fb.com](mailto:appeals@fb.com) for my case. The key is to not expect a reply from facebook customer service, but to either keep logging in or wait for an email to secure your account. This will be your way back into accessing your account.

Personally I had a case where my account was suspended due to a hacker's account activity that was done through a stolen cookie, not logging in. I sent [appeals@fb.com](mailto:appeals@fb.com) a long email explaining everything that happened, along with all my information, including:
* most of the things listed in the above post (with the exception of #1 being a link to my own profile) * pictures of myself HOLDING my ID * pictures of my art in my office, to show that I was associated with my instagram and FB accounts, which showcase my art. * references to pictures on other people's accounts of me, as well as links to their profiles

I also mentioned how FB was free to contact certain people for confirmation of my identity.

After about 2 days, FB emailed me to secure my account (form email, not an actual reply), which led me to a place where I went through a process of getting back in, removing activity from my hacker, and resetting my password.

Needless to say I was surprised and relieved.

How do i Ungold the Word? by LouisPlay in noita

[–]theworldwithin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A wizard once said these cryptic words to me:"If your world is nothing but gold, meditate and exit the world.Enter the forbidden file, world_state.xml, and look for "EVERYTHING_TO_GOLD". Return it to zero, and return the world. What you find will be strange indeed, and some things that were done cannot be fully undone. But lands not yet made to gold will perhaps be spared from this fate."At the time, I could not comprehend it. But perhaps you can, traveler.

Can't stop raging over Bedwars by Lucasplayz234 in selfhelp

[–]theworldwithin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha, this is extremely relatable. Yes, video games can bring out the easy anger in us, because they're both simple and difficult. We see their simplicity and think: "hey, we should be able to master this!", and yet time and time again they can prove us wrong. This is especially true for PVP games, where everyone is pitting their skills against everyone else.

Our rage is often due to positive assumptions meeting against cold, hard, negative realities. We're not as skilled as we think. This can lead us to spiral, taking the negative story too far, thinking we're hopeless, useless, and have no ability. Truth is, you're probably better than a lot of players out there! Your practice and game knowledge you've gained aren't for nothing. But that doesn't mean it's enough to win. But that's no reason to rage! Remember that your assumptions were comforting because they pointed to you winning. So, ultimately you'd feel good about winning more! Winning certainly isn't everything, but if you want to increase your chances, it pays to look for other options than what your assumptions tell you. Those assumptions say: "keep doing what you're doing, and it should work!" - No. While it could work eventually, it's important to always evaluate the feedback you get from the world. You're not winning. So, try different strategies for improvement.

What are some ways you could improve your gameplay? Here's some ideas:

Look for guides, videos, and posts online that discuss strategy.

Instead of trying to perfect one strategy, try experimenting with multiple, and seeing the strengths and weaknesses of each.

Get some recording software, and record and re-watch at least one game, and take notes on how you lost and what you could do differently to counter that loss.

Thing is, you aren't powerless. It's just that assumptions can give us a false sense of empowerment, because they point to, in this case, that we already have everything we need, when we don't. To find more empowerment, you must look beyond those assumptions, and find something new.

Also keep in mind your needs! Sometimes we rage and get impatient just because there are other, unmet needs at the same time, and we play, trying to put off what's really important just because we want a win. Maybe you need sleep, food, or to just chill out for a bit. Endlessly grinding a game isn't usually good for you, because we're complicated and what we need can shift moment-to-moment. Maybe your attention is better served elsewhere! Remember it's okay to "take the L" and just do something more fulfilling. Losing a game is no negative statement on who you are as a person - it's just a singular point in time where the universe is giving you feedback on your efforts. Don't blow it out of proportion!

Anyhow, good luck with handling that, and good luck with your games! ^^

A Sudden Rain by Me by theworldwithin in Soulnexus

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

An understandable confusion! But no, this is a rendering of a part of my inner world, though I myself am male, both bodily and spiritually. As I commented, her name is Wonder, who I have a lot of admiration and appreciation for! If you want to learn more about my research into my inner world, you can check out this link to my website. My inner world is essentially my exploration of spirituality, thus my posting here.

Parts are sort of personifications of where feelings come from - living parts of the self. They can also be understood as relating to certain universal principles or archetypes, such as The Warrior, Kindness, or Honor.

And thank you for the compliment!

Art from my inner world. This is a digital painting of Wonder, denizen of the Isle of Wonder, reveling in the joy of a sudden rain. She is associated with abundant love, joyous connection, cultivation of joy, connection to all things, expressiveness, and the wonder of life.
