“My brain is only a receiver, in the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know that it exists" - Nikola Tesla
As you start to uncover the metaphysical secrets of the universe you will come to know the all-encompassing and omnipotent Infinite source of Intelligence that exists beyond our human comprehension which governs everything and anything in this world
As humans we have all been granted an innate gift to be able to connect with this Supreme Source through the magnetic nature of our minds as the brain is merely just an antennae built to receive signals and thoughts from the field that match up with the certain energetic frequency we emit just like a radio transmitter
Specific systems have now been put in place to block this connection to this power to ensure that we don't have access to the knowledge hidden deep down within us. From the poisons filled into our foods, all the way down to the content we have been programmed to consume on a day to day basis, the goal is to fog out our minds to remain operating a lower states of consciousness and never ascend to the next levels
By consciously taking a step back from the constructed chaos we have to sift through in our modern life's, we can slowly but surely connect back with our core. And learning how to practice this art of silence and follow our intuition we are then able to shift our focus to then adjust and what kinds of thoughts and signal we then receive from this all knowing Cosmic Mind....blessing us with new brilliant ideas, innovations, and revelations to further assist us on this path to connect with the highest source
This is the secret to the 6th sense, yet many people do not realize this nor ever truly tap in to this amazing power that we all posses...

So I used to text this girl from my school last year. and we met once over the summer but due to problems on her end we had to stop talking. I was devastated if I’m honest, we never actually dated but spent everyday texting.
We stopped talking for a few months but she started texting me again a few months later. She was texting me everyday so I presumed we were back talking again, but I wasn’t fully sure. Eventually I just had to ask her if we were talking as friends or in a talking stage again.
She said she wasn’t looking for anything right not but we were such good friends that she didn’t want us not talking at all. I knew this just meant she wasn’t interested in me, so I decided it was best to stop texting her. T
Then a few months later she started texting me AGAIN. I text her but it killed me knowing she wasn’t interested in anything. I just had to tell her that i didn’t think it was good for me to keep texting her and wished her all the best.
Now a couple months later, she hasn’t text me again. I keep thinking I’m getting over her and then I see her in school or just her instagram story and my heart sinks. There honestly isn’t a day where I don’t think about her. I know she’s talking to other people and has probably forgotten about me. since her I haven’t talked to any other girls.
Even though we weren’t in an actual relationship, she was the first girl I had a proper connection with. It just feels exhausting still having feelings for her

As an aspiring entertainer, I strongly oppose the idea of banning TikTok. For many of us in the entertainment industry, TikTok is a powerful platform that has enabled us to showcase our talent and reach a wider audience.
TikTok is a unique platform that allows for creative expression in a way that other social media apps do not. The app's algorithm is designed to showcase content that is creative and engaging, rather than simply prioritizing content from popular creators. This creates a level playing field for aspiring entertainers like myself to showcase our talent and build an audience.
Furthermore, TikTok has democratized the entertainment industry by providing a platform for people who might not have had the opportunity to showcase their talent otherwise. This includes people who live in rural areas or who come from marginalized communities. As someone from a marginalized community, this platform has really helped me feel seen.
Banning TikTok would mean depriving millions of people of this opportunity, including aspiring entertainers who rely on the platform to build their careers. Moreover, it sets a dangerous precedent for government intervention in the entertainment industry.
It is essential to note that the concerns about data privacy and national security are not unique to TikTok. Almost all social media platforms collect user data to some extent, and it is the responsibility of the government and tech companies to ensure data protection. Instead of banning TikTok, we should advocate for stronger regulations and enforcement of data privacy policies across all social media platforms.
In conclusion, banning TikTok would be a significant blow to the entertainment industry and to aspiring entertainers like myself. We should work towards improving data security and privacy policies instead of banning the app altogether instead of pursuing things like the RESTRICT Act. TikTok has provided a level playing field for many people to showcase their talents, and it would be unfair to deprive them of this opportunity.

If you know a decent chunk of people or you have a following on social media, you can make an upwards of $100-$200 a day on average. It's not something you could use as a main source of income but if you're a teenager or you just wanna make some extra cash this can come in handy.

Good Afternoon (EDT):
I am wondering if any of y'all have experienced this. We have a l2tp VPN setup through the baked-in Windows VPN client (the end-point is a Fortigate). The VPN did not have the "AllUserConnection" flag set to "$true." When the user connects, he/or she has access to their own subnet 192.168.2.x/24 as well as 192.168.1.x/24
However, we now want our remote users to connect to the VPN and authenticate via the Windows Log In screen to ensure connection to the domain. I understand you need to set the "AllUserConnection" flag to "$true". This worked without a hitch EXCEPT, with this set, the user can connect but no longer has access outside of 192.168.2.x/24.
Any ideas on what is going on?
​
EDIT: Here is how I set it up

Add-VpnConnection -Name "VPN Name" -ServerAddress "xx.xx.xx.xx" -TunnelType "L2tp" -AuthenticationMethod "Pap" -EncryptionLevel "Optional" -DnsSuffix "foobar.local" -L2tpPsk "intheclear" -AllUserConnection $TRUE -SplitTunneling $FALSE

Is hustlers university 2.0 a scam ?
Honastly no, I Know it's hard to believe because of the link directing you to join, but it had been life changing for me personally and many others in the community being able to pull 6 figure salaries from the guidance and advice on there. I'm not promising this will be you, but with hard work and effort the sky is the limit and you can change your life for the better.
If you've been thinking about joining don't miss your opotunity. The doors are closing soon. Most people portray the community as a scam because of the controversial figure head but he is meerly a marketing technique to expand this amazing product.
The link is down below, just a few clicks away from paradise and financial freedom. PLEASE DONT MISS OUT!

So, my Reels button itself is not available on the bar. I have redownloaded the app, logged in and out, downloaded beta, and some older versions but I can’t just watch reels. And. If some shares a reel to me, I can’t scroll down as only a black screen comes.

Hey,
I’ve been working on reducing my screen time and it’s been surprisingly effective. I recently found an app that’s been helping a lot, it basically allows you to select apps that you over-use and it’ll show you a breathing exercise for a few seconds before opening the app.
Now the app stats tell me that I reduced my screen time on reddit and Instagram by 40% and 66% respectively, and that was super easy? Like the app did all that for me, haha. Very nice to see the iOS recap on Mondays and it’s less than 5 hours per day. 😂 Not sure if I am allowed to post the app here?
Now I’m curious of other ways to build better habits around my screen time. Are there any techniques or tools that have been succesful for you? Would love your input.

I'm here looking for a genuine and serious relationship, finding a life-partner to settle down with, who wants to eventually tie the knot and possibly (not a must per se) children. That's my only purpose otherwise I'm not interested to be in a relationship. Hopefully my person is out there, but we just have to find another. That seems to be the most trickiest part when you're on a journey to find the person you intend to spend the rest of your life with.
If you don't have that mindset please just skip me. I'm not looking for unnecessary heartbreaks from someone who couldn't reciprocate the same feelings, or commit and devote themselves to their partner and relationship. I want someone who can unconditionally love and accept me for who I am, to form a deep and strong emotional connection with, someone you know, and feel you can trust, someone you can call your home.
Let me describe myself a bit and what I'm looking for, to get some important things out of the way and not to waste each other's time!
I'm a single (duh!) guy, from the orange country called the Netherlands. I'm around 5'9, brown skin/eyes, chubby/cuddly, occasionally wear glasses. I have a job and have my own cozy home.
My hobbies include watching movies, playing videogames, music, outdoor walks and activities.
I don't drink alcohol, smoke, or do drugs, sooo if you were looking or consider to have a drinking/smoking/(drug-addict) buddy necessary I'm not the one!
OH, I'm not religious either, so if you feel you can't coexist with someone like that then you know! I personally have no problem, but I know for some it's very important.
I consider myself very clingy, and highly affectionate when in a relationship, and from my experience and understanding we only work with people who are also, that means if you aren't or see yourself as such we won't work out, saves a lot of complications in a relationship.
I'm monogamous, and I'm only looking for someone who strongly believes in monogamy as well. I'm not interested in any kind of open relationship and or involving a third partner. You have to be single, unattached, and not someone who keeps their ex-lovers around.
Other than that, just be a good person, no discrimination or anything like that. I have a playful character so please be someone who loves to laugh and have fun together.
Someone who believes also in communication and talking out problems and concerns if any.
If what I wrote resonates with you and feel -gasps- you are actually were looking for the same things, please do reach out!

Good afternoon. I want to switch from Google Drive to OneDrive, but while I was testing it, I saw that the Windows 11 Photos app and the web client show photos from all folders.
But the problem is that I use cloud storage as the root folder for ALL my files. Therefore, work files, or even files from some video editing packages, are displayed in photos and "memories", which doesn't look good.
The filtering function doesn't help, because my photos are not in the "Pictures" folder as Windows wants by default, but in the Media > Pictures > Photos path.
Is there a way to just "add" photo folders instead of having to parse all files for photos?
Thank you for help.

To be a positive parent, you must love, care for, and be kind to your kids. It involves encouraging and educating children to behave in the way they desire. A concept and tactical approach is known as positive parenting is founded on the idea that our relationship with our children is what matters most as parents and how we can support the growth of their self-confidence. Positive parenting tips emphasize discipline and teaching children how to be independent, responsible adults who treat others with kindness, respect, and gratitude.
Because the children are active participants in their behavioral development, the positive parenting style also teaches children independence and aids in the development of self-esteem. The youngsters also gain the ability to communicate with their parents more effectively, which is a wonderful side effect. Research has also shown that positive parenting fosters a strong sense of trust between children and parents.
Here are the benefits of positive parenting:
· Stronger parent-child relationship
Parent-child interactions are strengthened when parents practice positive parenting. This method of behavioral development fosters more parental and child trust. Children's pleasant interactions with parents as a result of good parenting are the cause of this trust. Contrary to the harsh or unpleasant contacts that studies have shown can result in mental health problems in childhood or later in life, these positive interactions and the positive mindset contribute to a strong connection.
· Effective flow of communication
We all recognize the value of communication in many facets of our life. Positive parenting tips inevitably involve communication. The basic tenet of the positive parenting philosophy is to promote pleasant and upbeat dialogue with your children rather than treating them harshly or negatively. This can be achieved by allowing the children to openly discuss their ideas, convictions, and emotions while also teaching them how making positive behavioral choices can result in positive emotions and happiness.
· Reduce negative behavior
A parent's worst fear is that one of their children would exhibit a pattern of bad behavior. With young teens who try to get away with their nonsensical behavior while avoiding consequences, parenting can become difficult. It's crucial to realize that you still need to set boundaries for your children as parents. The only distinction is that positive parenting tips push you to substitute constructive behavior for destructive behavior.
· Handle the situation with patience
Positive parenting is a long-term, gradual form of punishment that does not produce results right away. If you want to see any meaningful change in your children, you must be patient enough with them. Long-term rewards and benefits will come through consistent practice, endurance, and healthy discipline.
Conclusion
You can feel fulfilled and contented if you and your children have an amicable, tranquil relationship. Positive parenting advice will help you deal with behavioral issues in children at all phases of life as well as promote healthy child development!

To start off I will say that I love my dad. He was a great man and the brutality of the accident that took his life will not leave me until I am dead as well. He died too young. His loss causes a-lot of grief within my family. The accident took place 6 months ago and he hasn’t been in any of my dreams since. Last night he was.
I am 23 years old. I had a good relationship with my Dad. He was a Combat Vet and served in the Marine Corps. I looked up to him and his lifestyle and made the decision to join as well. 6th generation in a row to do so. When I got out our bond was even stronger. His death blind sided my family and I’ve been struggling. In 2022 I lost a lot of friends from the service and parts of my family. 10 in total for that year. I’ve dreamt of them. Only last night was HE present in my dream. I’ve currently started applying 21mg Nicotine patches to help me quit smoking as part of my journey to better myself. I heard they’d give you weird dreams sometimes but this was hard. The dream started out with me being released from prison. And going to live with my parents. This was a very long dream. So long in fact I had no idea that it was a dream. I remember being with them for awhile and enjoying the company of the family I was blessed to have. We had barbecued and the whole family was there. My brother, sister, mom, and dad. The day was coming to a close and me and my dad were sitting on the couch talking about our time in service. It all came back in an instant. I turned to him and took in for a moment what seemed to be my dad. The one I hadn’t seen in months and missed dearly. But all I felt was fear. If he was dead who was on the couch with me. I cut him off mid sentence and said “Who are you?” He promptly responded with a confused “What?” “You’re dead. I saw it.” He was confused and asked what I was talking about. At this point I was overwhelmed. I knew I had to be dreaming, but 9 times out of 10 when I find out that I am, I wake up. I was still there. I began to shout at him, asking him who or what he was. My dad was a Follower of Christ. Not the fake and condemning, but the one with a heart for people and to serve those who needed it. I have 100% certainty that if there is a heaven He is there. So seeing him here could only mean something bad. We’ve all seen Pet Sematary. I had already stood up and taken a few steps back. We were shouting back and forth; he was confused, I was angry and scared. He stood up and encroached upon me, his confused and concerned demeanor took on more distressed undertones. His eyes were wide and bloodshot as he moved closer. He was mere feet away and my heart was beating through my chest. Do I hit him? He’s my dad but that is not my dad. My mind was racing and weighing my options all while we moved into the direction of a wall. I had to be dreaming. When I was a teenager, I had a very substantial amount of nightmares. It pulled me into a depression. I realized that if I could kill myself in my dream, I would wake up. I committed some very horrible suicides to escape at times. But this was different. I couldn’t do it. I just put my hand over my ears and begged for the dream to end. I am already forced to relive less than desirable parts of my life when I am awake and now my deceased dad is here in front of me. I was almost thankful that I had never dreamed of him. I hated seeing my lost friends, I knew seeing him in my dreams would hurt me. My back hit the wall and He put his hands on my cheeks and stared into my eyes. His face was now completely desperate, but his eyes conveyed hate. “I Promise you, I am not dead.” He said, his voice was shakey and his hands were cool. “I was the one who found him. We cremated him.” I replied, my voice equally as shaken. It was then that I felt something cold and wet move across my cheeks. I was paralyzed. Everything about that moment, his eyes, his hands, his expression, the cold writhe of the unknown things moving closer to my mouth and nose, the ceiling fan and the creaking sound it made when he turned it up to max speed because it was “frickin warm in here”. They are all still here with me as I type this. I hit him across the face as hard as I could. I right hook connecting cleanly with his temple. Something I had never done in real life. Something I would never do. I could never strike him and never in my life was there a reason to; but I hit him like I was trying to kill him. He stumbled and I saw the white hair like worms that squirmed from the open wounds on his wrists. I bolted. I didn’t want to fight whatever it was I wanted to kill it. I needed to get my family out of the house first. I shouted throughout the house running into the kitchen to find my brother. He looked at me, mouth full of chips, his brow was furrowed with concern. I’m sure he had heard some of the commotion from before but now I had him by his shirt collar urging him to run. Practically dragging him out of the garage door. I told him to get in his truck and wait until I brought Mom and our sister. “What the fuck!” He shouted his expression going from confusion and fear to full blown horror. I spun around to face the house, we were a good 70 ft away from the house because of our long drive way. The creature was moving at a leisurely walking speed. It still looked like him only the long white worms protruding from his wrists were wrapped around his hunting bow. He drew back on me and my brother. I tried to open the door for both some form of protection and to get him in it. It was still locked. The quick THWIP of the arrows release was all I heard before a broadhead ripped through my wrist. I let out a short shout before grabbing and squeezing the wound. The creature was getting closer, prepping another arrow. At this point my brother had grabbed me and shoved me in the passenger seat. I didn’t even realize he had unlocked it. My eyes were too focused on him. I hadn’t seen him move or be animated or speak in so long. Even seeing him shoot his bow, although directed at me, sank my heart to darker and colder depths. He hopped in the driver seat, started the truck, and began pulling out fast. “What are you doing?! Mom and Sarah-“ I was cut off by him slamming on his breaks and pointing at my wrist. I looked and saw that the bleeding wasn’t very bad. Which is not right because a broadhead just gone through it. I move my hand to see the white worms mending my wound. They were inside of me too. I don’t know if they were on the tip of the broadhead or in me the whole time but after that everything gets fuzzy. I don’t remember much afterwards.
Fuckin’ nicotine patches man.
TLDR my dead dad was being mimicked by some weird worms and it fucked me up but also the worms were in me.

I am a bit of a late bloomer and didn't really start dating until my late twenties (and most of my late twenties were spent in the pandemic). I'm now 30 and actively using dating apps trying to find a serious partner. I'm having a lot of trouble finding men that I'm interested in - in fact it has months since I met someone I was excited about. I have a lot going well in my life - I am active, reasonably attractive (I think), have a well-paying job that I love. But I lack a partner to share it all with. I also want kids so don't have a ton of time.
Part of me worries that I simply waited too long - that most of the men I would be interested in are already taken and that the competition is intense for the few that aren't. I keep kicking myself for not dating in my early to mid twenties. I wonder if I "missed my chance" to find a partner who is truly compatible with me and if I just need to settle for someone I'm not super excited about. Are other women experiencing this? (Because I wasn't dating when I was younger, I don't have anything to compare this to)

This night started off just as most of our Saturdays started off. Him calling his brothers to come over and drink. He had one older brother and one younger brother. The oldest brother normally said what he wanted to do and the others would follow. They went and picked up coke and beer. I had work the next day and didn't want to get to fucked up. I hung out with them for a while but soon feel asleep. I woke up to realize he wasn't laying next to me. I started to get dressed for work. I realized he wasn't in the house at all. I looked in the living room where the oldest brother and youngest were sleeping. I looked outside and still nowhere to be found. He had one of those phones where you can't call or text unless they are connected to wifi. So I decided to grab the youngest brother to come with me to try and find him. We got in my car and started to drive around the neighborhood. I turned a corner and saw him standing over a females car door talking to her. I started to honk. He walked to my car and started to cuss me out as if it was my fault. He then jumped in her car and they drove off. I followed them. She parked at another location and I parked right behind her car. He got out and started going crazy trying to protect her. He began to punch and kick my car smashing my break lights and windows. At this point I was like "fuck this" I backed up and drove home. Me and the youngest got back into the house trying to wake up the oldest telling him "He's going crazy fucking wake up and go get him"
We then heard him yelling outside saying "you're such a fucking bitch" "fuck you stupid slut" He finally made it inside and the oldest was trying to calm him down. He couldn't calm him down. I started to yell at him saying how he is a POS and he was with another girl etc. We started to get in each other's face. I needed to get away from him and have a moment to think and try to deescalate. I walked outside for a few moments. When I tried to go back inisde MY house the door was locked. I said "open my fucking door" I could hear him inside telling the youngest "Youre my brother dont open the fucking door for her, dont you fucking dare"
Im not sure if it was everything leading up to this point or the fact it was my house I paid for but something in that moment just sent me into a pure rage. I kicked the door open breaking the locks and walked in punched him in the face as hard as I could. And I hit him hard. His head turning and even a slight stumble. After he looks at me like he wants to kill me. He lunged at me. The youngest jumped in-between us and began wrestling with him. The youngest was protecting me. I feel bad and thankful because he took the hits that were meant for me. They were going at it for awhile. The oldest heard the cop sirens outside and yelled they were here and that they needed to stop and help him hide the drugs. They stopped fighting catching their breath. Oldest started to hide flush all the drugs inside. *knock* *Knock* The police were at the door. I walked to the door and opened it. Guns drawn and immediately asked me "How many people are inside?" I told them the truth and they told me to get my ass outside. I stood there as they walked inside and gathered everyone. We all talked to them separately. Keeping the same story that no one hit each other, no one is pressing charges and that it was just a drunk crazy night. They decided to arrest the guy I was with because he was underage and way over the normal alcohol limit. and most likely just to separate us. After the cops left with him. The brothers told me how they don't blame me for hitting him and that he deserved a reality check.

Hi! I recently got a mi stick 4k , and it works great , but when I connect my JBL go to it my wifi just gets very bad or even no connection at all? Is there a fix to this?

I apologize in advance for the book I'm about to type, but to those who read it all and reply, thank you very much.
Me (24m) and my ex (22f) have been broken up for 6 months from our 4.5-year relationship, NC for 4 months. In short, I broke up with her after falling into a depression from not being able to find a job, and felt I was inadequate to give her the life she deserved. It was NOT to pursue other women, let me make that clear. After a month apart, I realized that she didn't care about the job mess I was in, and loved me for who I was, and I tried to fix things. She has one friend who's always been a bad influence on her and has never wanted her to do better than her in life (long, long story), and put her on dating apps. I guess she figured out how easy it was to meet new people, and she decided to not give me another chance. I begged and pleaded, and made myself look like a pathetic loser, which was probably my biggest mistake.
I'd never felt so empty, hollow, and worthless in my life. I lost 20+ pounds and went through mental hell. To make things worse, I had to see her a few weeks after she gave her decision at a mutual friend's birthday party. Having to pretend like you never knew someone you still loved and called your best-friend for 4.5-years was the worst thing I've ever been through in life. Funnily enough, a week after the wedding is when I got the call that I got the job. I was ecstatic, and immediately wanted to tell her about it in hopes that it would fix things. But I knew after making a fool of myself to get her back, the only way things would work is if she reached out to me wanting to try again. I needed to regain my confidence and dignity.
Since getting the job, I replaced my old clunker of a car with a much nicer one, got back into the best shape of my life, and got my own place. After getting my place a few weeks ago, her dad called me randomly one day and asked to meet up, to which I agreed. When he got there, he immediately started telling me how downhill she was going. Summing it up, she'd become a habitual liar, trashes her family to everyone, drinks a lot, and had lowered her standards for men to the floor. It got bad enough that he said that he had to kick her out of the house because, as he put it to her; "I can't watch your destruction anymore". He said that the guys she's been choosing to see since not giving me another chance have been shocking, disturbing, and sad to say the least, and that she'll never find a guy that's better than me. He says he feels like she's going to realize her mistakes soon and want to rekindle things with me, he said there are signs that she's fighting feelings. When she was kicked out, the first thing she grabbed was my old jackets and hoodies. She couldn't bring it upon herself to erase an old whiteboard drawing I did for her when we first started dating, she refuses to take down old pictures of us on social media. When we had to see each other again at a mutual-friends party, I followed her lead of avoiding a conversation, and she balled to him and her mother that she thinks I hate her now. He said that they've made it apparent that they think she's fucking up big time by not giving me another chance. All of this being said, I told him that it doesn't give me satisfaction knowing she's not doing good, but I thanked him for thinking of me and hope that everything gets better with them. I respect her father enormously, but it was a mistake talking to him as it just brought up old feelings.
So here I am now, typing all of this. I have no plans to reach out to her, as I've previously stated that the only way, I'd know that she truly wants to possibly try again is if she reaches out to me. I'm not waiting for her by any means, but there is that slight part of me that wants the choice. It's gotten easier, but I feel like this pit in my chest will just never go away. I've tried going on dates, and all of the girls I've seen since have been attractive (honestly, looks-wise an upgrade), and I just can't find myself caring for them. I've stopped dating to focus on myself and to avoid hurting other people as a result. I think I've hit a bit of a plateau in my healing, and I don't know if this is just as better as it's going to feel until I find someone else or if me and her try again. If anyone has felt like this for a prolonged period, I'd love your input. Thank you again for taking the time to read all of this.

As a person that considers himself tech-savvy, I strongly advocate against the ban on TikTok. Despite concerns regarding data privacy and national security, a complete ban is not a practical solution. Rather, we should focus on enhancing data security and privacy policies.
TikTok is an immensely popular platform among the youth, allowing individuals to express their creativity and connect with others with shared interests. Therefore, it offers a significant opportunity for community building. Banning TikTok could mean depriving millions of people of this opportunity, particularly during these times of limited social interactions due to the still-ongoing pandemic.
Furthermore, concerns about data privacy and national security are not unique to TikTok at all. All social media platforms collect user data to a certain extent, and it is the duty of the government and tech companies to ensure data protection. Therefore, instead of banning TikTok, we should push for more robust regulation and enforcement of data privacy policies across all social media platforms.
Banning TikTok could also set a dangerous precedent for government intervention in the tech industry. If the government has the power to ban one app, it could lead to banning other apps in the future. We must safeguard our rights to access technology and information, and banning TikTok would be a step back, especially in regards to the first amendment.
Moreover, banning TikTok could negatively affect US-Chinese relations. ByteDance, a Chinese company, owns TikTok, and banning the app could be perceived as a hostile move by the Chinese government. This could lead to further tension between the two countries and make it challenging to negotiate on other issues.
In conclusion, banning TikTok is not the answer to data privacy and national security concerns. We should work towards improving data security and privacy policies while also safeguarding individual rights to access technology and information. TikTok is an essential platform for creative expression and community building, and we must not deprive millions of people of this opportunity.
