being extroverted must be awesome imagine feeling nothing after telling someone "wow youre REALLY quiet". im going to talk less around you now 🫶
#i know i got anxiety like a motherfucker and as much as i love my cave where my objects of comfort are i also like going places sometimes#there was a time where id go to a store and then do what i needed and then exit the store#nowadays i find myself yapping at The Store especially if i need help getting something done. etc#also sometimes people at Places are such dicks the best way to get them to fuck off is to mind your own business#assholes need an audience and people who arent assholes wont demand your attention you feel me?#i am less scared of people these days 👍 the interactions however#scripting is at times my friend and also my flop. i know what to say on what days with select people in my kingsley-safe zones#but if anything goes off script ... flop. meltdown. fear. anguish. death. dying. death.#i feel like these kinda conversations get TOO heavy handed on treating introverted people as these self righteous misanthropes#who are too full of their own selves and their own time to want to reach out and build connections#and i feel like its just unfair and it pushes introverts further into their caves#i aint a fucking doctor nor am i a people expert. im not a people person. i dont trust easily and i dont speak unless spoken to#or unless im on tumblr lol#but i do know that it cannot seriously be helpful to NOT help socially awkward people. where do yall get off on calling anyone immature#for not being 100% type a?#that doesnt make anything better. that doesnt encourage conversations and that for fucking sure doesnt encourage people#to step out of their bubble#ok im mostly rambling because there are times where tough love advice is warranted but there are times where its bullying disguised as TL#i know this is the 'ummm why dont you have friends party and socialize more???' website but idk. it could not be!#anyway proud of myself for not freaking the fuck out during a conversation at the collectors store today#proud of myself for being able to goof off in public and proud of myself for staying the fuck home when i wann stay the fuck home

great things take time, it’s worth it to keep working on your projects & goals — even if you aren’t seeing external validation yet
be okay without instant gratification, fast growth, thousands of followers/views/customers from the jump - make an effort, do the work, and you’ll make progress toward your goals.
i’ve been working on several projects lately and i’m really proud of how far i’ve come. one of them is a website, blog, shop, and social media presence entitled ��hopeful narratives.” it’s a place where i feel like i’m contributing to the world and could potentially positively impact peoples lives. part of my purpose, i feel like, is to show people that you can take shit you’ve been through and turn it into something positive for yourself and others for years to come. it’s to create beautiful from the depths of my darkness — whether that’s in the form of blog posts, designs, art, poetry, music, whatever.
i have so many dreams that i’ve set out to follow and i believe in myself enough to pursue them and my personal development. and that’s what hopeful narratives is all about. i have some posts about self care, productivity, life, etc and it’s written from my neurodivergent, healing/recovery lens. i hope it helps at least one person to have hope and get motivated to go after their dreams too!

the worst part about people i talk to irl telling me i should monetize my art is they always say it in the same way someone would if they were telling me to read. this sucks bc when someone tells you to read you can say stuff like "ok what are u suggesting i read" or "where can i find that book" and they will have a conversation with u about it but if someone tells you to sell art and you say something like "what are you suggesting i sell" or "where should i sell it" they will just. repeat that you should monetize your art and give you A Look
#alpaca.txt#so what theyre doing is just. coming over and saying:#'hey u should do this thing u dont know how to do' and being shocked when i respond with 'cool how do i do it'#its especially frustrating bc these people KNOW ME. and know i have pretty much 1 skill (drawing) and that i dont know how to do things!!!#theres NEVER a follow up theres Never 'oh u should make stickers/posters/take commissions'#or 'ive seen people selling art at x place/website'#i swear its like they think knowing how to draw magically gives u the ability to run a business without any advice setting it up

I have been on a Willy Wonkified journey today and I need y'all to come with me
It started so innocently. Scrolling Google News I come across this article on Ars Technica:
At first glance I thought what happened was parents saw AI-generated images of an event their kids were at and became concerned, then realized it was fake. The reality? Oh so much better.
On Saturday, event organizers shut down a Glasgow-based "Willy's Chocolate Experience" after customers complained that the unofficial Wonka-inspired event, which took place in a sparsely decorated venue, did not match the lush AI-generated images listed on its official website.... According to Sky News, police were called to the event, and "advice was given."
Thing is, the people who paid to go were obviously not expecting exactly this:

But I can see how they'd be a bit pissed upon arriving to this:

It gets worse.
"Tempest, how could it possibly--"
source of this video that also includes this charming description:
Made up a villain called The Unknown — 'an evil chocolate maker who lives in the walls'
There is already a meme.
Oh yes, the Wish.com Oompa Loompa:
Who has already done an interview!
As bad (and hilarious) as this all is, I got curious about the company that put on this event. Did they somehow overreach? Did the actors they hired back out at the last minute? (Or after they saw the script...) Oddly enough, it doesn't seem so!
Given what I found when poking around I'm legit surprised there was an event at all. Cuz this outfit seems to be 100% a scam.
The website for this specific event is here and it has many AI generated images on it, as stated. I don't think anyone who bought tickets looked very closely at these images, otherwise they might have been concerned about how much Catgacating their children would be exposed to.
Yes, Catgacating. You know, CATgacating!
I personally don't think anyone should serve exarserdray flavored lollipops in public spaces given how many people are allergic to it. And the sweet teats might not have been age appropriate.
Though the Twilight Tunnel looks pretty cool:
I'm not sure that Dim Tight Twdrding is safe. I've also been warned that Vivue Sounds are in that weird frequency range that makes you poop your pants upon hearing them.
Yes, Virginia, these folks used an AI image generator for everything on the website and used Chat GPT for some of the text! From the FAQ:
Q: I cannot go on the available days. Will you have more dates in the future? A: Should there be capacity when you arrive, then you will be able to enter without any problems. In the event that this is not the case, we may ask you to wait a bit.
Fear not, for this question is asked again a few lines down and the answer makes more sense.
Curious about the events company behind this disaster, I took myself over to the homepage of House of Illuminati and I was not disappointed.
I would 100% trust these people to plan my wedding.
This abomination of a website is a badly edited WordPress blog filled with AI art and just enough blog posts to make the casual viewer think that it's a legit business for about 0.0004 seconds.
Their attention to detail is stunning, from how they left up the default first post every WP blog gets to how they didn't bother changing the name on several images, thus revealing where they came from. Like this one:
With the lovely and compact filename "DALL·E-2024-01-30-09.50.54-Imagine-a-scene-where-fantasy-and-reality-merge-seamlessly.-In-the-foreground-a-grand-interactive-gala-is-taking-place-filled-with-elegant-guests-i.png"
"Concept.png" came from the same AI generator that gets text almost, but not quiiiiiite right:
There are a suspicious number of .webp images in the uploads, which makes me think they either stole them from other sites where AI "art" was uploaded or they didn't want to pay for the hi-res versions of some and just grabbed the preview image.
The real fun came when I noticed this filename: Before-and-After-Eventologists-Transformation-Edgbaston-Cricket-Ground-1024x1024-1.jpg and decided to do a Google image search. Friends, you will be shocked to hear that the image in question, found on this post touting how they can transform a boring warehouse into a fun event space, was stolen from this actual event planner.
Even better, this weirdly grainy image?
From a post that claims to be about the preparations for a "Willy Wonka" experience (we'll get to this in a minute), is not only NOT an actual image of anyone preparing anything for Illuminati's event, it is stolen from a YouTube thumbnail that's been chopped to remove the name of the company that actually made this. Here's the video.
If you actually read the blog posts they're all copypasta or some AI generated crap. To the point where this seems like not a real business at all. There's very specific business information at the bottom, but nothing else seems real.
As I said, I'm kinda surprised they put on an event at all. This has, "And then they ran off with all our money!" written all over it. I'm perplexed.
And also wondering when the copyright lawyers are gonna start calling, because...

This post explicitly says they're putting together a "Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory Experience" complete with golden tickets.
Somewhere along the line someone must have wised up, because the actual event was called "Willys Chocolate Experience" (note the lack of apostrophe) and the script they handed to the actors about 10 minutes before they were supposed to "perform" was about a "Willy McDuff" and his chocolate factory.
As I was going through this madness with friends in a chat, one pointed out that it took very little prompting to get the free Chat GPT to spit out an event description and such very similar to all this while avoiding copyrighted phrases. But he couldn't figure out where the McDuff came from since it wasn't the type of thing GPT would usually spit out...
Until he altered the prompt to include it would be happening in Glasgow, Scotland.
You cannot make this stuff up.
But truly, honestly, I do not even understand why they didn't take the money and run. Clearly this was all set up to be a scam. A lazy, AI generated scam.
Everything from the website to the event images to the copy to the "script" to the names of things was either stolen or AI generated (aka stolen). Hell, I'd be looking for some poor Japanese visitor wandering the streets of Glasgow, confused, after being jacked for his mascot costume.
HE LIVES IN THE WALLS, Y'ALL.

Cloudflare or Not? That’s the Bloody Question!
Let’s get one thing straight - the internet’s a wild beast, and without the right tools, you’re just a sitting duck waiting for a cyber-shitstorm. Enter Cloudflare, the digital bouncer promising to keep the riff-raff out of your cyber pub. But is it really all it’s cracked up to be? Or should you be casting your eyes towards the dashing hero, Astro Agency? Let’s dive in, shall we?
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of Cloudflare
First up, the good bits. Cloudflare is like that mate who’s always got your back in a bar brawl. It’s got a robust DDoS protection that keeps your website safer than a pint in a nun’s hands. Plus, with its CDN services, your website loads faster than a greased weasel, no matter where your audience is.
But, hold your horses! It ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. Cloudflare, bless its digital socks, can be a bit of a diva. If it throws a tantrum (read: false positives), it can block legit visitors, making your website as welcoming as a fart in a spacesuit. And let’s not forget the occasional outages - when Cloudflare goes down, it takes your site with it, like a drunken mate dragging you out of the club.
Why Astro Agency Could Be Your Digital Knight
Now, let’s gab about Astro Agency, the unsung hero in this digital drama. These blokes understand that one size doesn’t fit all. Unlike Cloudflare’s often one-track mind, Astro Agency offers tailor-made solutions faster than you can say “Bob’s your uncle!” They get down and dirty with your specific needs, crafting a digital armour that fits you like a glove.
With Astro Agency, you’re not just another face in the crowd. Their customer support is like having a personal butler for your website. Any problem, big or small, they’re on it like white on rice. No more shouting into the void with generic support tickets.
The Verdict? Go With the Underdog!
So, what’s the final word? Cloudflare’s got its perks, sure. It’s like that popular kid in school - everyone knows it, and it does a decent job. But if you’re after something that fits you like a bespoke suit, it’s time to give a nod to Astro Agency.
In this digital world where one size definitely does not fit all, Astro Agency comes out as the bespoke tailor, crafting solutions that fit your needs like a glove. So, toss out the cookie-cutter approach and let Astro Agency be the wind beneath your digital wings.
There you have it, a comparative look at Cloudflare and Astro Agency, served up with a side of cheeky banter. Remember, in the wild west of the web, it’s not just about having a bouncer, but having the right bouncer who knows your name and your favourite drink. Cheers!

MAHADASHAS in Vedic astrology


So I have wanted to make this post for a very long time and since so many of you wanted it, here it issss😊😊
So in this post I am going to be going through what each mahadasha may bring you in terms of life occurrences. I am also going to be including example of specific placements that can be correlated to life events according to your natal chart also, because the mahadasha that you’re in now, looking at its placement in your natal chart influences it also.
**i am also going to include my own examples of my own mahadashas for referencing purposes
How to calculate your mahadashas?? A very handy website is farfaraway or another one would be astrosage.
what is a mahadasha?? Mahadashas are an integral concept in Vedic astrology, referring to extended periods in a person's life dominated by the influence of a specific planet. Each Mahadasha spans a fixed number of years, with its duration determined by the Vimshottari Dasha system, which assigns a total cycle of 120 years among the nine planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu). These periods are believed to shape significant events and themes in a person's life based on the nature, strength, and placement of the ruling planet in their natal chart. Within a Mahadasha, there are sub-periods, or antardashas, which further refine its effects.

sun mahadasha: lasts 6 years

during the summer at work we often get teens or young adults whose parents are forcing them to go door to door down the whole business strip to drop off resumes. we politely explain that we can't take physical applications and that they should just keep an eye on the website for any new job postings that come up. if the kid is alone, they'll normally understand but leave their resume anyway (which goes directly to shredding as per management instruction), but if they're with a parent it turns into a game of 20 questions of what positions are open, how to navigate the website, all kinds of poking and prodding about how to get in or get involved (with volunteering being something of interest but rarely followed up on 9 times out of 10), entirely lead by the parent. the parent is putting on a show for the kid to exhibit how job searching "is done" and the kind of tenacity that they think potential employers want to see in applicants. sometimes they'll resort to smalltalk or flattery in an attempt to leave a good impression, which would probably have some pull at a job with a smaller and more intimate staff or a high turnover rate, but means nothing in our closed and streamlined online application process overseen entirely by management. I sometimes try to give some advice re: job searching or next steps to make the conversation feel like less of a waste of time, but I can tell when a parent is feigning interest in my response because they haven't fully become cognizant of what is meant by "you have to apply online" and still believes that they're in the "sell yourself" phase of talking to a potential employer. when the parent and kid do the mandatory congenial smile and wave thing as they leave, i always look at the kid, awkward and embarrassed and on some level understanding that this is not working but following their parent to the next place anyway, and think "thank God I'm not young anymore"
