2023.06.01 18:50 Talkinallthatjaz Fail Proof Manifesting Technique
Hey Beautiful Humans,
I thought I’d share a technique that I’ve seen the most progress with and what I’ve tested to be tried and true.
My number one rule that I ALWAYS tell people; “Keep time out of your manifestations”. I think we humans have such a hard time with manifesting because we acknowledge time. It seems between time and doubt we’ve psyched ourselves out of instant manifestation.
I like to set my intention both with a short visualization and also writing. The wording in my visualization is always “I’m setting the intention to receive…..” and then my writing is always prompted as “I am so grateful for….” along those lines. I visualize myself either writing the intention on a paper and then putting it in an envelope and sending it up into light (my higher self/source) or visualize the end result on a big screen and then placing that screen into a bow wrapped small box and sending it up in the light. I’m not the best at visualizing so I keep it short. I tend to focus more heavily on feelings and depending on what I’m asking for, sensory recreation through mostly touch or smell as well. I also definitely never say anything like “ I’ll have this by this date” when setting my intentions like I’ve been told to do in many teachings. I strongly believe it anchors resistance and doubt.
After setting my intention; I only acknowledge the present moment. I’ve trained myself heavily on leaving the ego out of my manifesting so when I’m thinking of my desire I’m focused solely on the feeling of gratitude and not the attachment to the how/when. While both in thought and conversation my mentality is “already received”. for example: my car, my apartment, I have this amount in my bank etc.
I found this method provided me with the least resistance.
For small things I also really like just simply saying things like “oh, I have those/that”, “Oue I should buy that”, or “I’m so grateful for that “ For example if I want a pair of shoes or want to go on a trip.
I did not intend for this post to be this long lol. What are some of your fail proof manifesting techniques? I’m always so curious of the many different ways of creating.
Happy manifesting! :)

2023.06.01 18:49 BusinessPerson56 Best ways to learn brand strategy?
As the title implies, I am currently looking for the best ways to become a formidable brand strategist; from the perspective of someone wanting to utilize said skills for their own ventures and to eventually (far off into the future) offer their insight as a service rather than to seek more traditional forms of employment with the skillset, what would your recommendations be? specific books? courses? exercises? a specific degree/program? etc.
all insight is welcomed and appreciated, prefacing with a condensed list of some relevant accolades (including failures) to further contextualize input would also be appreciated.
as a side, are marketing degrees really worth it when juxtaposed against navigating the actual task of marketing and branding, fueled by your own research and failures? I ask this question because I am often very unimpressed with the work of marketing graduates and very impressed by the work of people who cut their teeth in the real world, BUT as a genuinely open minded person, I am simply interested in the best steps forward without bias.
Thankyou for your time!

2023.06.01 18:49 TimeUnicorn I(F22) am growing apart from my best friend(F 22)?
So, I(F22) feel like I'm growing apart from my best friend(F22).We started being friends around 7 years ago in high school. We were both kind of hanging out on our own, not being very close to anyone in our class, so I think this kind of became a reason we got close. In our friendship at school, I always used to be a softer person, while she was more hard and confident, which resulted in many fights we had with each other, when I was skipping school without telling her in advance, for example. Nevertheless, we still had a lot of fun together, especially when we started doing sleepovers at my place almost every week, and we never got tired of it. All this time we were each others' only friends.
Fast forward a year or two, she started having a long-distance relationship with a guy, and I was very happy for her. They could even meet a couple of times in another country. We were preparing for our graduation exams, and we had a lot of goals and plans for the future. We continued to hang out together, and we were really, really close. At that point, we started calling each other best friends.After high school, I went abroad to study, and she continued her education in our home country. Long distance was hard, but we still managed. We called each other every week, laughed, and everything felt pretty normal. The only thing is, I started feeling like our connection was not as strong as before.And now several years after I started my education, due to the war raging in our home country, I am constantly living abroad with my mom, while she got married to her boyfriend and is living with him, also abroad. Our time zones became very different, so it was also more difficult to continue video calling each other regularly. Our personal lives also changed a lot. Compared to me being very closed-off and soft-spoken in school, I became very outgoing, started a new job, currently trying to graduate from uni, and most of my free time I'm either, working, studying, hanging out with other people, who I became close with. In the meantime, my best friend is mostly working from home and only spends time with her husband, and I'm still the only close friend she has.
Now my best friend is very annoyed and angry, that I'm not spending as much time with her as I did before. I already explained that I am trying, but at this point my life has changed so much, it's getting more and more difficult. I want to prioritize my comfort, and want to spend my few hours of rest from work, studying and socializing on my own, with my own hobbies and just relax. She is still mad at me and is trying to make me feel guilty. I'm pretty sensitive in that way, so I am starting to feel very upset and anxious. I do feel bad about how I'm treating her, but I also feel like we really are growing apart from each other, but she just cannot understand it.

2023.06.01 18:49 letitburneracc Do you have a fear of parenthood? Or how you’ll behave?
21F I can honestly say my biggest goal in life is to be a wife and a mother. I know that is not the life for everyone but I dream of it always. Everything I work for now is for the future of myself and my future children
But with my diagnosis I often wonder how I’ll be as a parent, that plus postpartum?? My goodness
I’m more on the mild Bipolar side according to my psychiatrist but I notice things within myself that I don’t like or that concern me. Like when I have pets and one minute I love them to death and the next i get so upset that they even NEED me and I’m having a depressive episode and getting angry at it for meowing because it’s hungry…. I just always hope I have more patience with my children. I never want to hurt them or traumatize them but sometimes my brain gets the best of me.
I’m still trying out meds so hopefully that will stabilize me more and I won’t have to worry about my episodes when I’m a mom. But yea just on my mind

2023.06.01 18:49 Family_Man_On_TV Are Protestants more spirituality vulnerable?
I see a lot of Protestants (specifically Evangelicals) talking about attacks from Satan (or "the enemy" as they call him). I always thought they were making it up. My Catholic friends and I rarely think or talk about Satan. I always thought they were making it up, but then another idea crossed my mind.
Are Protestants more vulnerable to attacks by demons than Catholics?
They don't partake in the things that repel demons the best (the Eucharist, reconciliation, the rosary). They never ask for the intercession of saints, such as the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Michael the Archangel, and St. Benedict. Does Satan recognize them as the weakest of Christ's flock, and single them out?
The stories about demonic attacks, possessions, and demons manifesting are way more common among Evangelicals than mainline Protestants (Lutherans, Anglicans). They seem to increase in frequency the further their religion is from Catholicism.
An atheist attacked by Satan might write it off as nothing, but a Protestant will acknowledge the presence of Satan, while lacking tools to defend themselves.
So, is it all Evangelical nonsense, or are they really the most vulnerable of Christ's flock?

2023.06.01 18:48 Desperate-Ad5647 Security Clearance
Hello.
I plan on accepting an offer with Lockheed Martin and I need to do background checks for a secret clearance. I have no criminal record, no gambling debt, no ties to foreign nationals, and no ties to groups that want to overthrow the United States, and MO other red flags I can think of.
Only thing I'm worried about for clearance is that I've experimented with THC and resold a sealed bag of cannabis I found once while I was cleaning at work to someone I know because I wasn't going to smoke it. I've used weed recreationally 3 times in my life over the last four years. I've used THC once in 2019 at a party when someone brought a bong and was passing it around, once in 2021 at a former best friend's party in the form of an edible (hated that), and once in January of 2023 in the form of a joint at a sports party for Wildcard Weekend. The bag of weed was a sealed bag I found in 2022 that someone left at my place of work (movie theater) that I found after I was cleaning and I thought that I'd resell it because it was sealed, worth 30 bucks, and I don't like weed, the last two times I've used THC being helped by social pressure I've put on myself plus wanting to experiment a bit.
As it stands, I've tried weed, it doesn't do much for me, and I've never sought it out and especially never sought to distribute it. I respect the federal government's laws on it, knowing that they supercede all the laws of my state of NY, and other drugs and I'd be more than fine with not continuing these activities in the future.

I've used THC once in 2019 at a party when someone brought a bong and was passing it around, once in 2021 at a former best friend's party in the form of an edible (hated that), and once in January of 2023 in the form of a joint at a sports party for Wildcard Weekend. The bag of weed was a sealed bag I found in 2022 that someone left at my place of work (movie theater) that I found after I was cleaning and I thought that I'd resell it because it was sealed, worth 30 bucks, and I don't like weed, the last two times I've used THC being helped by social pressure I've put on myself plus wanting to experiment a bit.
As it stands, I've tried weed, it doesn't do much for me, and I've never sought it out and especially never sought to distribute it. I respect the federal government's laws on it, knowing that they supercede all the laws of my state of NY, and other drugs and I'd be more than fine with not continuing these activities in the future.
2023.06.01 18:48 kaplansaplan What are some super difficult fun starts with achievements attached to them?
Took around a year's break from eu4 and came back with domination. I'm ironically super bored with all the major nations so after a pirate republic So > Japan game for freest man in the world I tried some non-Japanese OPMs or other minor countries wedged between great and regional powers. I really enjoy finding the best opening and strategy for each nation and not looking at guides. I love playing these super small nations where your only option is expanding into wrong culture and religion areas. Spending tons of admin on coring lands that major nations would start with and reducing inflation, spending lots of diplo on war exhaustion and accepting cultures with no money for advisors. Getting tons of interest and inflation from all the small loans. All of this is really fun compared to snowballing from the start. You get to have fun micro intensive wars where you have to outsmart the AI every day to win. And there's always an end game boss to fight, even if that end game is in the 1600s at least it's something. Playing a minor in the mediterranean also makes you appreciate how powerful naval can be with all the straits.
I've gotten Basque in Glory, Saladin's Legacy and I'm currently working on a Mzab game where I got An Unlikely Candidate and going for The Third Way. What should I put on my list? I have the Russian minors and true heir of timur on the back burner. I have 1k hours and have all the dlc except Lions of the North, but I'll buy that one after payday.

Have a humanoid base mesh and do not need a ton of polys on the body since it will be covered in clothing/armor but I do want to sculpt a very high poly face.
Is it better to just keep two separate objects and join later, or is there a way to only increase “definition” on the head and neck area?

2023.06.01 18:48 Pleasant-Affect8433 Best time to introduce a smartphone
Good afternoon, I’m curious on the best way to introduce a smartphone. We’ve been reinforcing positive technology habits like learning to use the laptop supervised with the family to promote motor skills instead of just swiping on a tablet, no unsupervised screentime unless it’s sub 60min of television or semi unlimited reading on the kindle, consistently talking about being safe online to avoid danger and viruses, rewarding positive tech interactions and going through the rare negative interactions together to understand what went wrong (acting out when we can’t play another round of something on the switch, discussing how technology can hurt our brains and attention - this isn’t me being cooky, research demonstrates that technology actively changes your brain, which is often extremely harmful). We’re nowhere near needing to give them a smartphone yet but we were thinking of 14-15. I know a lot of parents wait until eighth grade because they can’t hold out against the societal pressures but a majority of the kids I’ve known/observed with unlimited phone access end speed running screen addiction - even with restrictions sometimes. I’m confident as long as we keep modeling healthy screen usage things will turn out better than what I’ve seen outside of our home, and I’m soon planning on implementing a flip phone as the kids get older for safety purposes. Our household has the strategy of redirecting towards the real world whenever we get requests for more tech, so going to state and local parks, fun vacations, museums, making friends, summer camps, lots of hands on learning and crafts, and just trying to provide lots of core memories of amazing real world to keep them grounded. Is 14-15 too late or just right? Thoughts?

2023.06.01 18:48 ChaoticDominance I need help with tires.
Would like to buy on amazon so I'm not paying ridiculous shipping fees and so it gets here fast. Not looking to spend more than $40 but just because that's my upper limit, doesn't mean I want to spend that much if I don't have to. So the $40 limit isn't "I need something at $40", but is "$40 is a lot of money right now, I'd love to spend somewhere around $25-30".
The amount of times I've listed a price and suggestions are way more than the suggested price because "It's worth it"...
Anywho, 27.5x2.0 is what I'm looking for. I'm looking at the Schwalbe Hurricane but the item dimensions in the description doesn't match the title size so I'm worried it's not actually it. It was suggested I get the Schwalbe Energizer Plus but I have no idea how to translate their sizing guide to find what I'm looking for.
I'm looking at these ones but would love suggestions if neither of these work for my needs. Can someone with better educated eyes than me, help me solve this problem of sizing?

2023.06.01 18:47 ahamsterball To the devs: I feel sad and disappointed
I want to keep this short, I’ve bought every pass and plenty tip jars since I downloaded the game, and after the most recent changes to generators, I am seriously considering uninstalling the game.
I really love this game, but the decisions you devs have made are making me think that you guys are just trying to find more ways to annoy your players so they will spend more money on the game.
The response you gave justifying the changes is so tone deaf, I don’t understand at all how this change is “ensuring the best possible playing experience for our players.”
I feel sad and disappointed because I might need to stop playing this game…

2023.06.01 18:46 ohhello_o [WP] The prophecy has been spoken - the hero who shall destroy the dark lord will soon be born. For most, this is a joyous moment, but you don’t feel like waiting around for a couple decades watching the kingdom burn while some child gets trained.
You watch them cheer. Their voices, a cacophony of shrill noise tangled together, float through the air and into the open window of your home. You watch their smiles grow as they jump on one another and wrap their arms wherever they can fit them. It’s a rather large affair, the turnout far greater than you expected, but what’s more is that it doesn’t seem to be ending. Laughter invades your ears as even more villagers join the fray. You look beyond the crowd and out towards the kingdom. See its towering castle in the distance, the sun lowering beneath it, and the thousands of homes that settle there, against the horizon. It looks powerful somehow, as if this moment should be trivial. After all, you’d just found out about the prophesy that foretells a hero to soon be born who shall destroy the dark lord. But somehow, the occasion is far from joyous. It is just another reminder of all the bad things to exist – of the idea that it is in the fate of one person and one destiny to save an entire world. That your fate is determined by one unborn child’s will. It is undermining, inhumane, and something nefarious under your skin.
You scoff to yourself, abruptly shutting the blinds so you don’t have to see the spectacle below. You still hear them, though, and that makes something red and hot boil in you.
It’s only later, when you’re trying to fall asleep but failing because the thoughts are all jumbled in your mind, that you think about possibility. You think, why does it have to be them? And then, why can’t it be you? And finally, it can.
It can be you.
So you laugh to yourself, quietly but no less determined, and the world shakes – maybe in its own attempt to laugh – and you fall asleep to dreams of prophets and evildoers and an unborn child who will never have to carry the burden of the world.
--
It starts with those blue eyes.
He watches you from the distance. Has known about you for a while now. You were notorious for being malicious towards your enemies. Some may call it bravery. He calls it intent. His name is Jareth, and he is a knight. A traveller, he tells you, but you can see the way he stands, the way he always seems to be watching, and the story behind those eyes as clear as day. There is no denying his interest in you just as there is no denying your interest in him.
He takes you to bed that day. Takes you the next, too.
It is an unsurprising affair. Those blue eyes may convince you to want more, but by now you know that your trust in people is dwindling. Your own eyes have no more room in them for another – certainly not a lover, either – though that doesn’t mean you can’t look. There is much to see beyond his brazen smile and sweeping locks and eyes so like the ocean.
Jareth tells you of his time outside the kingdom. He tells you of his journey north. How he is hoping to find The Land of Alrose, a place that promises hope and peace. He tells you of his own hopes, too. That he wishes for the chosen one to be born strong and healthy, to protect them too, as it will eventually be his duty to. But you cannot fathom a man’s will to wait for someone else to save them, and so you tell him that duty is merely a word build on cowardice.
You tell him that true duty – the type that burns inside you like no other feeling before –is born from the desire to become. That it is a choice rather than a fate.
Jareth leaves that night with what you imagine to be a sour taste in his mouth, because he does not return the following day. Or the day after that. In fact, Jareth does not return for the rest of your life.
Not even when you have his child.
--
You name the baby Killan, after your father.
You tell him stories of your past. Of dragons and knights and witches and spite. You tell him of powerful beings and lesser ones. Though, mostly, you sing to him songs of the old. Of your mother’s nursery rhymes and lullabies. You teach him how to fight. Show him the ropes of banishing those who are bad. Who are weak and lesser and do not deserve your respect.
You do not mention his father, no matter how many times he asks. The only time you do, it is dark and cold that night, and your son is standing there, face down, shadowed by the moon pooling through the windowpane, telling you that he is leaving. That he cannot stay here lest he be consumed by thoughts that are not his own. He tells you that he must become a man – his own person – and that he is unable to do it here. Finally, he tells you that he wants to explore; that he wants to find his own destiny.
“Destiny is determined,” you bite back, sharp and loud and with no room for argument.
For the first time in his life, Killan stares back at you as if he doesn’t know you. “My destiny is made. And it’s out there, I know it.”
Killan knows nothing though, and so you tell him about his father. “He was just like you, so obsessed with fate. But fate is fickle, my dear son, which is why it’s best to become someone of your own desire. Why should you do things if they aren’t by your own will?”
“But it is, mother. I want to leave because I want to discover what’s out there. I want to learn about the person I’m becoming. I want purpose.”
The fury builds up within you. “Your purpose is with me!”
“No,” he says, looking back at you strangely. Grief, you recognize. And something more. Something that almost looks like illness. “No, I don’t think it is.”
It isn’t the last time you see Killan, but it is the last time you see him as your son.
--
Years later – at the height of your tyranny – you hear about a boy, now a man, who has become great. Who is more than great.
They call him the Chosen One. The Freer of Evil.
The Trueborn.
You scoff at the idea of this boy being the world’s destiny.
You’re the world’s destiny. You.
When the world was tarnished with evil and darkness and greed, you stepped up to become someone you didn’t have to, sick and tired of waiting for someone else to step up for you. You did this without hesitation, without a title to your name, without a destiny.
But the world hadn’t seen. Hadn’t recognized you for the deeds you’d done. The help you gave. The life you sacrificed.
Instead, they defiled you. They bid you evil with no more than a single look. Called you malicious and unmerciful and The One to be Vanquished.
They said that you were the one to be defeated. That the prophecy the child was speaking of was also indirectly speaking of you. That you do have a destiny, just not the one you thought.
This time, as you stare out into the dark land of avarice, you decide to finally stop defying fate and instead embrace it.
You embrace it like you’ve embraced no other before.
--
“Mother,” Killan greets. He’s grown older. Has a stubble along his chin. The look he gives you is unkind; disappointed.
But you have been playing these games your entire life.
“My son,” you greet, smirking as he narrows his eyes. They’re sparkling blue, a mirror image of his father’s.
“What did you hope to achieve by doing all this?” Your son – the fated hero – pleads. He sounds like he’s looking for a way out. As if he wants to find something inside of you that gives him reason to spare your life.
But he hasn’t realised yet that it is only you with the choice to do the sparing.
“Mother,” Killan prompts. “Please. Cease this killing. Take ownership of your crimes. This doesn’t have to end in bloodshed.”
You scoff. “I thought I taught you better than that. How naïve you must be to think this will end the bloodshed. Don’t you realize? There will always be bloodshed. I’m just doing everyone a favour by getting rid of those who think they are greater than anyone else.”
“No,” Killan denies. “You are only ‘getting rid’ of those who are greater than you. Those you deem a threat. But what you haven’t realized, mother, is that the one you should actually be getting rid of is really standing in front of you.”
You laugh – loud and shrill, an echo of that sound many decades ago, when you were but a single person wanting to decide your own path. Your own destiny. Now, it lays in front of you in all its glory. In the form of a child who used to be yours but is now someone else entirely, like a joke or a trick or something far worse. Something irredeemable.
“Fate,” you juggle with the word. Sound it out around your tongue. “Should it have been my fate to become evil? Should it have been my fate to have you? Tell me, my son, should it have been my fate to try and change it all?”
Killan sighs. There is something sad written on his face. Almost like that day years ago, when he left you. Like grief.
“I do not know mother, but I am a subject to fate just as you are. You made your own choices in this world just as I did. The only difference between us is that you wanted to become something without thinking that you were already something. And in doing so, you unknowingly gave into the prophecy.”
This time, when Killan looks at you, it is not with grief or hopelessness or even despise. It is with truth – undeniable truth – as if he’s stopped defying his own fate a long time ago.
You don’t see the knife before it’s too late. You do feel it there, however, plunged into the deep muscle of your belly, and the gasp you let out reflects the sharp pain you feel as your son twists it inside you.
It’s all rather anti-climactic, really.
“I’m sorry,” Killan says, sounding apologetic. “But this is my destiny. It was written in the stars. And I cannot have you standing in the way of it, even if you are my mother.”
You try to speak, try moving your mouth even though you know it’s futile. The only thing you can do is look up at this boy – now a man – and wonder what it would have been like to never have set eyes upon blue.
To never have heard the ringing of such cheers outside your window.
Though mostly, to never have known fate as intimately as you thought you knew the world.
Your son looks at you one last time, pity clear in his eyes, and you can’t even tell him you hate him before everything around you fades to black.

2023.06.01 18:45 howbizsolutions Starting a Business in Toronto: Advantages, Challenges, and Comprehensive Guide
 | There are many advantages to starting a new business in Toronto. Toronto is the largest city in Ontario. Canada has a diverse economy. It is home to many Fortune 500 companies and is a hub for innovation and entrepreneurship. Toronto is a multicultural city with a high quality of life and a diverse and talented workforce. submitted by howbizsolutions to howbiz [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/gv2kcpmrqf3b1.png?width=940&format=png&auto=webp&s=120c2483b91d8848daf5abe786de786f1c6af1dc However, starting a business in Toronto also comes with challenges. Toronto is a competitive market, and you need a solid business plan and a unique value proposition to stand out from the competition. It would be best if you also were prepared for the high cost of living and doing business in Toronto. Whether you are a seasoned entrepreneur or a first-time business owner, there are many factors to consider when starting a business in Toronto. This comprehensive guide will provide you with all the information and resources you need to start a business in Toronto, Canada. Step 1: Identify Your Business IdeaThe first step in identifying a business idea is to conduct market research. This affects gathering information about your target market, including their needs, preferences, and behaviors. It would be best to research your competitors to determine what products or services they offer, how they price their offerings, and how they market their business.Once you understand the market well, you can start brainstorming potential business ideas. It’s important to consider your skills, knowledge, and experience when developing ideas. It would be best to think about your passions and interests, as starting a business in a field you are passionate about can make the process more enjoyable and rewarding. When considering potential business ideas, it’s important to focus on scalable ones that can be profitable in the long run. It would be best if you also thought about the level of competition in the market and the barriers to entry, such as legal requirements or licensing. One approach to identifying a viable business idea is to look for unmet needs or underserved markets. For example, you may identify a new product or service need in a particular niche market. Alternatively, you may see an opportunity to improve upon an existing product or service by offering better quality, lower prices, or more convenient delivery. Another approach is to look for trends or changes in the market that may create new opportunities. For example, you may identify a growing demand for environmentally-friendly products or services or a shift in consumer behavior toward online shopping or mobile devices. When you have identified a potential business idea, testing it before investing too much time and money is important.
