i dont make fan theories often bc i tend to daydream off into things that cant possibly be real, but i think maybe this new mimic game preview, where they look like puppet, proves a theory i had a while ago
hear me out please
charlie is glamrock freddy
OKAY OKAY SO HEAR ME OUT THOUGH-
SO in security breach we know that something is odd with freddy. logically ive always kinda chalked it up to the fact he probably has the best antivirus bc hes the lead man so thats why he doesnt attack gregory after vanny's tampering bc personally ive never felt good about michael possessing him
(i get why people like that but michael was only kept alive bc of the scoopers remnant, so if you guys want him to be the mc in fnaf6 hes gotta be dead, pick one please i see good fuel for both)
so who is freddy??? well hold onto your socks bc i got something that you mightve already thought about idk BUT someone in the fnaf6 ending was never a remnant being and wasnt shown dying--
we get so many hints at puppet everywhere (the wiring, the dolls, yanno youve prolly seen them pointed out already), but there is no mention of charlie/puppet ANYWHERE by name to gregory
so heres my idea:
we know through sources that remnant is what happens when soul matter touches metal, and that if there is no reaction between a souls agony and some kinda steel, remnant aint happenin. remnany is functionally what made william/springtrap 'immortal' and michael survive ennard. we know thats what henry was aiming to melt down to undo the binding of the souls and the metal in fnaf6.
but puppet was never metal. every time we see puppet, it floats around or wiggles like a plushie. puppet is a fluffy soft toy that clearly does NOT have any bones.
wibbly wobbly
we also see it half-transparent in hallways, like- oh yanno- A GHOST???
i know fnaf has strayed further away from the haunted aspect and more into scifi, but what if puppet was our tie to classic haunts this whole time?
id like to point to this line that glamrock freddy says the first time you visit the fnaf6 sinkhole with him:
THE FIRST HALF OF THE MESSAGE: puppet/charlie definitely HAS been here before as we see in fnaf6, and we know that in between fnaf6 and help wanted old fazbear workers brought circuits torn out of scraptrap from the fnaf6 ruins to silver parasol games for scanning and utilizing, and thats more than likely where glitchtrap came from, but what does freddy mean by this?
im not sure exactly
you could argue that its cassidys vengeful spirit forcing charlie to continue clinging to earth in freddy ("she brought me here" if you consider cassidy to be a lil girl) which i personally would not put forcing their friend's spirit to haunt earth as long as part of afton is active past them, theyre a spiteful lil shit) but this isnt the meat of my theory so ill leave it
now the other half of the message, about glamrock freddys friends being angry and confused, really has the same vibe as these two puppet ucn lines to me
i think if theory this is true, this also could be good news for the moltenmci theory that i also subscribe to
ANYWAY these lines have similar energy to me, what with the whole "i am fine and calm but these guys? YEESH theyre cray" thing.
lemme tie it together real quick:
charlie dies and her ghost decides "hey i should stick around to stop william and maybe help those lost babies" so she possesses puppet!
the fact shes a complete spirit and not just the raw emotion from remnant means shes way way WAY more coherant and clever than the other animatronics
in fnaf6 shes put in lefty, which i think henry did to try and force charlies spirit to become remnant by interacting with the animatronic's metal, but it doesnt work bc charlies already a ghouly ghoul and aint havin that
so when the pizzeria simulator place burns down, sure the puppet and lefty were gone but was charlie's spirit? NO bc it wasnt remnant! fire doesnt touch ghosts silly casette man!!!
thats why, lemme draw your attention to the fact that CHARLIE IS NEVER SHOWN GETTING FREED:
SHES NEVER SHOWN IN THE ENDING BC ITS SYMBOLIC FOR HER STILL BEING AROUND
so what happened after that? well security breach takes place in and above the sinkhole that once was the fnaf6 location. spirits, in many folklores, do not tend to stray too far from their resting place most of the time
so if charlie, now a freed spirit with nowhere to go and nothing personal to possess (sorry about your puppet), finds out that afton is still possessing endoskeletons and having his brainwashed people kill people for funsies bestie? she aint having that
this was the kid that decided instead of just passing on to heaven or whatever, to STAY BEHIND AND HELP THE OTHER KIDS TAKE WILLIAM DOWN. she is described by henry as selfless and always helping others instead of herself
also need i remind you of charlies most famous act of trying to help (but accidently making things worse by prolonging the suffering instead of 'giving life'?)
this bitch would 100% possess the strongest thing she could to try and stop him, the strongest being glamrock freddy.
now after years of being manipulated into being freddy and acting as him/working with his programming, she might not have a clear understanding of who she once was. so, when glamrock freddy says "i found myself for the first time when i cleared the path" what if he means she remembered what she originally came here to do?
what if she left all the calling cards on purpose? what if she left the plushies around as a reminder of who she is so she doesnt forget why shes still tied to earth? so she remembers to stop afton instead of just let the programming take over?
bc if you remember, we're all fairly certain william only runs away to balloon boys voice in fnaf3 bc of the animatronic's programming it wouldnt be too out of place for charlie to struggle with it too, tho in a different way.
as for mimic...
the REAL reason i wanted to bring it up is bc this looks like puppet. this music box plays the puppet song my grandfathers clock, and then mimic pops out.
the most common question i see is why mimic is referencing puppet, and my theory explains that:
if charlie is in the pizzaplex, then mimic probably knows all about her. everything about her. tales from the pizzaplex has an ongoing plotline where mimic is literally stalking and studying the other characters obsessively, so whos to say his connection in the baobab tree didnt get him access to ""memory files"" or whatever its called when agony/remnant is imprinted on circuitry like with scraptrap and glitchtrap.
so yeah, heres my theory on what happened to charlie and whos REALLY possessing glamrock freddy!!!
i wrote this at 6AM after pulling an all nighter sorry if its hectic and poorly written; i actually wanna make a theory video bc i really think i have something substantial here, but idk how well recieved this would be hehe
i will also accept chica being possessed by charlie bc of twisted animatronic's videos on chicas crying and fighting the hacking
thanks for reading!!! pls be nice im scared lol
#five nights at freddy's#fnaf#fnaf theory#charlie emily#charlotte emily#security breach#glamrock freddy

this SPECIFIC cake era
oof hi c thanks for the baby cake!! lemme see what i can conjure up here okkkkkkkkkkkkk
just a side note the magazine really makes me laugh. is that walmart harry styles on the cover? anyway. do you see these boys. they are small and theyre still in school.
they didnt know each other too well. sure, they had a few classes together, but that was about it, luke sticked to his friends and calum to his. luke didn't know much about him apart from the fact that he played soccer fairly well, which was exactly why he was so surprised when calum offers him tutoring after luke MAJORLY failed his math exam. calum catches his disappointed face, and somehow he feels really sorry for that blond kid, so he walks up to him and just asks. luke is really suspicious about it, bc he doesnt really... trust calum. like. he played soccer. he was always wearing shirts with too long sleeves and vans. he was so quiet. not that luke wasnt quiet too, he was, but more in a shy way. calum was always quiet and gentle with everything he did. but luke couldnt afford failing another exams. his parents would let him feel that he was a fucking failure, and they werent even together anymore. maybe that was lukes mistake too. but calum actually did a really good job. he always let him come over, and luke was glad he didnt have to show calum the shitty appartment he lived in with his dad. thing is, studying with calum actually started to be fun. so much that they hung out even after they were done for the day. so much luke gave in when calum asked him to come to a game when all his friends cancelled on him, even if soccer is fucking boring. it was a nice escape, luke could relax for once. he dismissed all the comments his friend michael made about how he cant seem to do without calum now suddenly. and what if? they were having a great time. luke aced his next exam, and he was so exited he hugged calum tightly, because it felt natural, and right. luke didnt need tutoring after that anymore. he did need calums friendship, though, and when summer started to settle in and they finally had time to chill out, calum took it upon him to teach luke the soccer basics, which he only endured bc he liked calum a tiny bit. teeny tiny. when they tripped over each other while playing though and tumbled to the floor laughing, legs a tangled mess, holding onto each other for grip, and find themselves close enough for a quick kiss, luke stops complaining with a grin. maybe soccer wasnt so bad.
New ask game!

Boy on the Bike
Read it on AO3!
Summary: Jeremy thinks he might be going crazy. That might be okay, though, because Boy on the Bike must be crazier. Crazy enough to get off his bike, wheel it up the driveway of Jeremy’s mom’s house, rest it against the house, walk over to Jeremy, and take a seat on the steps next to him.
“Why are-- What’re you--”
“You were sad. I’d feel bad if I just left you like that.”
(Or: Jeremy Heere, after having a very terrible day, meets Michael Mell, who inexplicably makes him forget there's any bad in the world at all.)
Notes: i had WAY to much fun writing this first chapter... these boys..... theyre gonna fall in love just u wait. this fic is prolly just gonna be jeremy and michael exploring smth neither of them have ever experienced before: ...............friendship (and eventually romance but shh theyre babies theyre just learning). idk how long this is gonna be but im excited for it
anyway i hope u enjoy this ride
Jeremy Heere is having a Pretty Shitty Day.
The morning began with a freshman spilling coffee in Jeremy’s lap on the bus. That should’ve been a warning sign, now that he thinks about it, that it was going to be a Pretty Shitty Day. Between second and third period, Rich Goranski shoved Jeremy into a locker and asked if he’d pissed himself. At lunch, Jeremy accidentally threw his math homework in the trash with the remnants of his lunch and had to go to class empty-handed. He mixed two chemicals incorrectly in Chemistry and the class had to move to a different lab so the room could be cleansed of toxins. At the end of the day, Christine Canigula bumped into him in the hallway and instead of apologizing, Jeremy gaped at her for three seconds before she walked away, probably creeped out of her mind.
After such a shitty day, Jeremy walked home from school and dug fruitlessly through his backpack for fifteen minutes before coming to the conclusion that he left his key in his room. He’s locked out. Of course, the one time he forgets his key is one of the rare instances in which he stays with his mom for the weekend, and that’s already terrible enough in and of itself. Reluctantly, he pulls out his phone (of course he forgot to charge it the night before, so it’s only at 21%) and sends his mom a text to inform her that he’s locked out.
He’s not expecting an answer, though.
It takes a lot for Jeremy to classify a day as a Pretty Shitty Day, because most of his days are spent uncomfortable and awkward as it is. Sometimes, though, things just stack up until he’s teetering on the brink of a panic attack before first period even ends, and that’s when the day earns the Pretty Shitty Day title.
It’s a stupid thing for him to cry over. Jeremy had been locked out of the house before, but now it feels like such a punch in the face. He has a terrible day and he can’t even go hole up in his room for the remainder of it. He feels even more like a loser than he thought was humanly possible as he sits on the front steps of his mom’s house and sniffles into the sleeve of his cardigan.
At the very least, he can take comfort in the fact that the only people who live in his mom’s neighborhood are old, deaf people. There’s no one around to watch him weep to himself like a fucking idiot.
That is, until Jeremy notices someone.
What looks to be a red speck bikes around the corner onto the street Jeremy’s mom lives on. The street is long and vacant, and the speck is rapidly becoming more identifiable. Jeremy doesn’t mean to stare, but he watches nonetheless as the person on the bike becomes a boy with black hair and a big, red hoodie. He’s not sitting on the bike, but rather riding it while standing, like some kind of dangerous hooligan. Jeremy’s eyes linger for a moment too long and the boy on the bike notices him.
Jeremy ducks his head, hiding his face in his knees in hopes that the boy will just keep going and not spare Jeremy’s creepiness another thought. He holds his breath and waits five, six, seven, eight seconds and just when he thinks the biker is gone, he hears a voice: “Hey.”
Jeremy whips his head up and, lo and behold, the boy on the bike is standing in the middle of the street, still straddling his bike, and looking at Jeremy very attentively. Jeremy blinks at him, jaw slack, and Boy on the Bike must take this as an invitation to continue: “Are you okay?”
Is he okay? No. Of course he’s not okay. He’s just had a Pretty Shitty Day, he’s exhausted, he’s sad, and he’s been swallowing a panic attack for the past seven hours. Is he gonna tell all that to some strange teenage boy he’s never spoken to before? Of course not.
“I’m fine,” Jeremy finally says, in spite of how puffy his eyes must look and how evident his trembling hands are.
Boy on the Bike doesn’t bite. “No, you’re not. You’re crying.”
Jeremy brings a hand to his cheek and finds that he really is still crying. He hadn’t even noticed. “I guess I am,” he says, mostly to himself, but Boy on the Bike hears him nonetheless.
“Are you okay?” Boy on the Bike asks again, and Jeremy doesn’t know what the fuck comes over him, but he answers:
“No. N-No, I’m not.”
Jeremy thinks he might be going crazy. That might be okay, though, because Boy on the Bike must be crazier. Crazy enough to get off his bike, wheel it up the driveway of Jeremy’s mom’s house, rest it against the house, walk over to Jeremy, and take a seat on the steps next to him.
“Why are-- What’re you--”
“You were sad. I’d feel bad if I just left you like that.”
Jeremy blinks at him and then, incredulously, bursts into a fit of giggles. Boy on the Bike looks at him, puzzled, and Jeremy wants nothing more than to stop laughing, but he can’t. “I’m sorry--” he gasps. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry-- I’m not laughing at you, I promise--”
Boy on the Bike gives him a confused smile and waits for Jeremy’s giggles to die out. “You good, dude?”
“I’m…” Jeremy coughs into his sleeve and squares Boy on the Bike with a look. “I’m J-Jeremy… dude.”
Now it’s Boy on the Bike’s turn to laugh, which he does, hard and unashamed. Surprisingly, though, Jeremy doesn’t feel like he’s being laughed at. It’s not the same sly, under-the-breath giggle people do when they’re talking about him behind his back. It’s not the same harsh, sarcastic laugh bullies do when they’re calling him names. Boy on the Bike has a beautiful, contagious laugh. Jeremy can’t stop looking at him and can’t stop himself from laughing, too.
“Sh-Shut up!” Jeremy squeaks through his own laughter. His voice cracks on the “up” and that only makes Boy on the Bike laugh even harder. “You’re mean! I thought you were here to make me feel better.”
Only he’s already made Jeremy feel better.
Boy on the Bike eventually sobers up enough to articulate himself. “Jeremy, huh?” he asks, and Jeremy nods. “Nice to meet you, Jeremy. I’m Michael.”
Jeremy smiles at him. Michael. “Nice to meet you, too, Michael.” Michael, Michael, Michael. It’s a good name. “Thanks for, uh, y’know… stopping to talk to me. That was really cool of you. I could’ve been, like, a serial killer or something.”
Michael pulls a face and Jeremy is quick to inform him that he is not, in fact, a serial killer. “I didn’t really peg you as the serial killer type. I don’t know how many serial killers can be found crying and locked out of their houses.”
“How’d you know I was locked out?”
“Well, Jer,” Michael says sagely, but Jeremy can only think about the nickname he’s already been given. “I don’t know about you, but whenever I’m down in the dumps, the only place I wanna cry is buried under a pile of blankets and my own sadness.”
Jeremy sighs longingly. “That’s exactly where I wanna be.”
Michael places a hand on Jeremy’s shoulder (it’s heavy and warm and comforting and Jeremy inexplicably wants to lean his whole body against Michael’s and find out if the rest of him feels that way, too) and gives it a few small rubs as he speaks, “You wanna tell me what’s wrong?”
“O-Oh,” Jeremy falters, momentarily incapable of forming words with his mouth. “I wouldn’t wanna bother you, Mi--”
“Dude, are you stupid?” Michael asks, with no malice. “I wouldn’t come sit with you if I didn’t wanna help you out, buddy. C’mon, lay it on me.”
Jeremy’s heart flips into his throat and he swallows hard before starting up on the tale of his Pretty Shitty Day. He tells Michael all about the coffee, Rich, his math homework, Chemistry class, and Christine. He tells Michael that he’s had a terrible day and he’s wanted to cry since seven in the morning and now he’s locked out of his mom’s house, which is so much worse than being at his dad’s because his mom doesn’t even care about him and--
“S-Sorry,” Jeremy says abruptly. Michael hasn’t stopped listening, nor has he moved his hand from Jeremy’s shoulder. “My mom’s, uh, a whole ‘nother can of worms.”
Michael nods and doesn’t press. “Next time, maybe.”
“Next time?” Jeremy asks, finding that his voice is suddenly too soft, too vulnerable.
“Next time.” He says it like a promise. He gives Jeremy a chance to steady his breathing before speaking again. “This is your mom’s house?”
“Mhm.”
“You don’t see her much, huh?”
Jeremy shakes his head.
“So you don’t live around here..?” Michael sounds almost disappointed.
“N-No, but I can give you my--” Jeremy catches himself. “Oh, my God, I was about to give you my home address. You’re, like, basically a stranger.” Michael doesn’t feel like a stranger, though. Michael feels like the closest thing he’s had to a friend in a long, long time.
“Oh!” Michael says, actually looking a little flustered at the notion. “No, I couldn’t ask for that--” He hesitates, looking down at his hands and fidgeting with his fingers before willing the words out of his mouth, “B-But I could, uh-- I could ask for your number-- Y’know, like, if you ever need to talk-- I just-- I mean, it’s totally cool if you don’t want to--”
Jeremy bumps his knee against Michael, who looks up at him sheepishly. “Gimme your phone, loser.”
Michael fumbles his hand around in the front pocket of his hoodie before fishing out his cell phone (a clunky old Android, which Jeremy makes note to make fun of him for in the future) and handing it over.
Jeremy punches his number in and Michael peers over his shoulder as he types in “Jeremy Heere.” “You gotta put in an emoji,” Michael says firmly.
Jeremy looks at him and raises an eyebrow. “How come?”
“All my contacts have emojis. Don’t mess with the flow, bro.”
Jeremy rolls his eyes, but scrolls through the emojis nonetheless. “Android emojis are ugly,” he comments absently, earning an offended shove from Michael. Eventually, Jeremy settles on the video game controller emoji. “There,” he says, satisfied with his decision as he hands the phone back over to Michael. “Happy?”
“Very much so,” Michael says, almost as if he doesn’t realize it, as he pockets his phone. Jeremy’s heart flutters. “Now I know that you’re not only a friendless geek, but you’re a friendless geek who spends all his time playing video games.”
That one hurt a little bit. Michael's so cool, Jeremy could tell. Michael probably has lots of friends at whatever school he goes to and probably won't even bother texting a loser like Jeremy. Jeremy must have wilted, because Michael rushes to reassure him that he was just kidding. “I have no room to talk. I do the same thing. I’m the resident friendless stoner at my school.”
Jeremy straightens up. “N-Not anymore!”
“What d’you--”
“You’re not friendless. Not anymore.”
Michael stares at him and Jeremy thinks he’s going to laugh again, but then he does something much better. Michael lunges forward and buries Jeremy in a hug and Jesus Jewish Christ, hugging Michael is so much better than how Jeremy imagined it’d be. He’s warm and soft all over, and when Jeremy noses against Michael’s shoulder, he smells like pine and laundry detergent.
“Thank you,” Michael breathes. Jeremy’s thinking the same thing. He decides maybe it was worth having a Pretty Shitty Day, if he got to meet Michael.

Bitcoin: How Cryptocurrencies Work
New Post has been published on https://hititem.kr/bitcoin-how-cryptocurrencies-work/
Bitcoin: How Cryptocurrencies Work
Say theres a coin thats currently worth countless numbers of U.S. Dollars, but its no longer fabricated from gold, or platinum, or any worthwhile metallic. In fact, its now not the style of coin which you can maintain on your hand or stick in a piggy bank. Its a digital foreign money, which means that it most effective exists electronically. Im talking about bitcoin. Bitcoin doesnt work like most money. It isnt attached to a state or government, so it doesnt have a primary issuing authority or regulatory body.Sincerely, that implies theres no group determining when to make more bitcoins, determining how many to produce, retaining monitor of the place they’re, or investigating fraud. So how does bitcoin work as a forex, or have any worth at all? Well, bitcoin wouldnt exist and not using a whole community of men and women and somewhat thing called cryptography. In fact, its regularly described because the worlds first cryptocurrency. And heres the way it works. Bitcoin is a thoroughly digital currency, and you can exchange bitcoins between desktops in a international peer-to-peer network. The entire point of most peer-to-peer networks is sharing stuff, like letting individuals make copies of super authorized song or movies to download. If bitcoin is a digital forex, whats stopping you from making a bunch of counterfeit copies and fitting fabulously rich? Well, not like a mp3 or a video file, a bitcoin isnt a string of knowledge that can be duplicated.A bitcoin is virtually an entry on a tremendous, world ledger referred to as the blockchain, for causes good get to in a minute. The blockchain records every bitcoin transaction that has ever happened. And, as of late 2016, the entire ledger is about 107 gigabytes of information. So when you send anyone bitcoins, its not like youre sending them a bunch of files. As a substitute, youre clearly writing the exchange down on that massive ledger anything like, Michael sends Hank 5 bitcoins. Now, possibly youre pondering, but, wait. You said bitcoin doesnt have a vital authority to maintain track of everything! Even though the blockchain is a important document, theres no reliable team of persons who update the ledger and maintain monitor of everybodys cash like a financial institution does its decentralized. Actually, someone can volunteer to keep the blockchain up-to-the-minute with the entire new transactions. And a ton of men and women do. All of it works considering there are tons of people preserving monitor of the identical thing, to be certain all transactions are correct. Like, suppose youre playing a game of poker with some buddies, however none of you could have poker chips, and also you left your cash at house.Theres no money on the table, so just a few of you get out some notebooks, and begin writing down who bets how so much, who wins, and who loses. You dont wholly believe any one else, so every body maintains their ledgers individually. And on the end of every hand, you all compare what youve written down. That means, if any one makes a mistake, or tries to cheat and snag some more cash for themselves, that discrepancy is caught. After a couple hands, you would fill up a page of your pocket book with notes about the cash action.You can think of every web page as a block of transactions. Finally, your notebook could have pages and pages of knowledge a sequence of those blocks. As a consequence: blockchain. Now, if 1000’s of humans are separately retaining the bitcoin blockchain, how are all the ledgers saved in sync? To keep on with our poker analogy: suppose of the complete bitcoin peer-to-peer community as a particularly giant poker desk with thousands of folks. Some are simply exchanging cash, however lots of volunteers are keeping ledgers. So when you need to send or acquire cash, you have to announce it to every person on the table, so the folks preserving track can update their ledgers. So for every transaction, youre saying a few matters to the bitcoin network: your account quantity, the account number of the person youre sending bitcoins to, and how many bitcoins you need to send. And the entire users who are maintaining copies of the blockchain will add your transaction to the present block. Having a bunch of persons hold monitor of transactions looks like a pretty good protection measure. But if all it takes to send bitcoins is a couple of account numbers, that appears like it possibly a security drawback.Its a gigantic crisis with typical cash just consider about all the methods criminals attempt to steal different peoples credit card knowledge. And with bitcoin, theres no relevant bank to notice anything weird occurring to close down fraud, like if it gave the impression of suddenly you spent your complete existence savings on pork jerky. So whats stopping Hank from pretending hes me and simply sending himself all of my bitcoins? Bitcoins are saved lovely reliable thanks to cryptography, which is why its considered a cryptocurrency. In particular, bitcoin stays cozy due to the fact that of keys, that are essentially chunks of information that can be utilized to make mathematical ensures about messages, like howdy, this is relatively from me! While you create an account on the bitcoin network, which you could have heard called a wallet, that account is linked to 2 particular keys: a personal key, and a public key.On this case, the private key can take some knowledge and sincerely mark it, also known as signing it, so that other individuals can affirm these signatures later if they need. So lets say I want to send a message to the community that says, Michael sends 3 bitcoins to Olivia. I sign that message utilising my private key, which handiest i have access to, and no person else can replicate. Then, I ship that signed message out to the bitcoin network, and everyone can use my public key to be certain my signature tests out. That method, every body preserving track of all of the bitcoin trading is aware of to add my transaction to their copy of the blockchain. In other phrases, if the public key works, thats proof that the message was signed by way of my exclusive key and is some thing I wanted to ship.Unlike a handwritten signature, or a credit card quantity, this proof of identity isnt some thing that may be faked by means of a rip-off artist. The who part of every transaction is obviously major, to be certain the proper people are swapping bitcoins. However the when issues, as well. If you happen to had a thousand greenbacks in your bank account, for example, and tried to buy two matters for a thousand bucks every, the bank would honor the primary purchase and deny the second.If the financial institution didnt do that, youd be in a position to spend the same money multiple instances. Which might sound incredible, however its additionally terrible. A economic method cant work like that, due to the fact no one would get paid. So if I best have enough money to pay Olivia or Hank, however i attempt to pay them each, theres a verify constructed into the bitcoin process. Both the bitcoin community and your pockets automatically determine your prior transactions to be certain you have ample bitcoins to send within the first place. But theres one more predicament that might occur with timing: considering that plenty of men and women are maintaining copies of the blockchain everywhere the arena, community delays imply that you wont normally receive the transaction requests within the equal order. So now youve obtained a bunch of persons with a bunch of relatively distinctive blocks to decide upon from, but none of them are necessarily fallacious.Okay, bitcoin. How do you solve that hindrance? Seems, its by using certainly solving problems. Math issues. To add a block of transactions to the chain, each and every individual retaining a ledger has to clear up a specified type of math difficulty created via a cryptographic hash function. A hash perform is an algorithm that takes an input of any measurement, and turns it into an output with a fixed dimension. For example, we could say you had this string of numbers as your input And our example hash perform says to add the entire numbers collectively. So, on this case, the output could be 10. What makes hash capabilities fairly just right for cryptography is that once youre given an enter, its particularly handy to search out the output. But its really tough to take an output and determine the common enter. Even in this super simple instance, there are plenty of strings of numbers that add as much as 10. The only method to determine that the enter was 1-2-3-4 is to just bet except you get it right. Now, the hash function that bitcoin uses is called SHA256, which stands for relaxed Hash Algorithm 256-bit.And it used to be at the beginning developed with the aid of the U.S. National safety agency. Computers that were principally designed to solve SHA256 hash issues take, on normal, about ten minutes to guess the solution to each one. That implies theyre churning by way of billions and billions of guesses before they get it correct. Whoever solves the hash first gets so as to add the next block of transactions to the blockchain, which then generates a brand new math hindrance that wishes to be solved. If a couple of people make blocks at roughly the equal time, then the network picks one to hold constructing upon, which becomes the longest, and most trusted chain. And any transactions in these alternate branches of the chain get put back into a pool to be brought onto later blocks. These volunteers spend 1000’s of bucks on certain computers built to clear up SHA256 issues, and run their electrical power fees up sky excessive to maintain those machines walking. However why? What do they get out of retaining the blockchain? Is it simply community provider? Good, bitcoin sincerely has a built-in method to reward them.In these days, each time you win the race to add a block to the blockchain, 12 and a half of new bitcoins are created out of thin air, and awarded to your account. In fact, you might comprehend the bitcoin ledger-keepers by means of one more name: miners. Thats on account that retaining the blockchain up-to-date is like swinging a proverbial pickaxe at these hash issues, hoping to strike it rich. When bitcoins had been first created in 2009, they didnt really have any perceived price. Tens of bitcoins would were worth the identical as a bunch of pennies. As of November 10th, 2016, although, one bitcoin is valued at 708 US greenbacks. So 12 and a half of bitcoins are worth 8,850 dollars. Thats a first-class chunk of alternate! Each single bitcoin that exists was created to reward a bitcoin miner. Apart from the big payout once they add a new block of transactions, miners are additionally almost tipped an awfully small amount for every transaction they add to the ledger. Its also worth noting that each 210,000 blocks, the quantity of coins generated when a brand new block is introduced goes down via 1/2. So what began as a reward of 50 bitcoins diminished to 25, then 12 and a 1/2.Itll handiest be round 6 bitcoins in a pair extra years, and keep decreasing. Ultimately, there will be so many transactions in a block, that itll still be beneficial for miners to typically be paid in tips. In step with present projections, the last bitcoin customarily across the 21 millionth coin will be mined within the year 2140. This reducing number of bitcoins is truly modelled off the price at which matters like gold are dug out of the earth. And the thought is that maintaining the provide of bitcoins confined will raise their value over time.So, is investing in bitcoin a just right suggestion? Now thats… Now not relatively a SciShow kind of question. Bitcoin continues to be volatile, and experimental. A lot of men and women like it, and plenty of persons consider its doomed to fail. We just think its an intriguing idea, and it makes us wonder what cryptography would do for us subsequent.

Bitcoin: How Cryptocurrencies Work
New Post has been published on https://hititem.kr/bitcoin-how-cryptocurrencies-work/
Bitcoin: How Cryptocurrencies Work
Say theres a coin thats currently worth countless numbers of U.S. Dollars, but its no longer fabricated from gold, or platinum, or any worthwhile metallic. In fact, its now not the style of coin which you can maintain on your hand or stick in a piggy bank. Its a digital foreign money, which means that it most effective exists electronically. Im talking about bitcoin. Bitcoin doesnt work like most money. It isnt attached to a state or government, so it doesnt have a primary issuing authority or regulatory body.Sincerely, that implies theres no group determining when to make more bitcoins, determining how many to produce, retaining monitor of the place they’re, or investigating fraud. So how does bitcoin work as a forex, or have any worth at all? Well, bitcoin wouldnt exist and not using a whole community of men and women and somewhat thing called cryptography. In fact, its regularly described because the worlds first cryptocurrency. And heres the way it works. Bitcoin is a thoroughly digital currency, and you can exchange bitcoins between desktops in a international peer-to-peer network. The entire point of most peer-to-peer networks is sharing stuff, like letting individuals make copies of super authorized song or movies to download. If bitcoin is a digital forex, whats stopping you from making a bunch of counterfeit copies and fitting fabulously rich? Well, not like a mp3 or a video file, a bitcoin isnt a string of knowledge that can be duplicated.A bitcoin is virtually an entry on a tremendous, world ledger referred to as the blockchain, for causes good get to in a minute. The blockchain records every bitcoin transaction that has ever happened. And, as of late 2016, the entire ledger is about 107 gigabytes of information. So when you send anyone bitcoins, its not like youre sending them a bunch of files. As a substitute, youre clearly writing the exchange down on that massive ledger anything like, Michael sends Hank 5 bitcoins. Now, possibly youre pondering, but, wait. You said bitcoin doesnt have a vital authority to maintain track of everything! Even though the blockchain is a important document, theres no reliable team of persons who update the ledger and maintain monitor of everybodys cash like a financial institution does its decentralized. Actually, someone can volunteer to keep the blockchain up-to-the-minute with the entire new transactions. And a ton of men and women do. All of it works considering there are tons of people preserving monitor of the identical thing, to be certain all transactions are correct. Like, suppose youre playing a game of poker with some buddies, however none of you could have poker chips, and also you left your cash at house.Theres no money on the table, so just a few of you get out some notebooks, and begin writing down who bets how so much, who wins, and who loses. You dont wholly believe any one else, so every body maintains their ledgers individually. And on the end of every hand, you all compare what youve written down. That means, if any one makes a mistake, or tries to cheat and snag some more cash for themselves, that discrepancy is caught. After a couple hands, you would fill up a page of your pocket book with notes about the cash action.You can think of every web page as a block of transactions. Finally, your notebook could have pages and pages of knowledge a sequence of those blocks. As a consequence: blockchain. Now, if 1000’s of humans are separately retaining the bitcoin blockchain, how are all the ledgers saved in sync? To keep on with our poker analogy: suppose of the complete bitcoin peer-to-peer community as a particularly giant poker desk with thousands of folks. Some are simply exchanging cash, however lots of volunteers are keeping ledgers. So when you need to send or acquire cash, you have to announce it to every person on the table, so the folks preserving track can update their ledgers. So for every transaction, youre saying a few matters to the bitcoin network: your account quantity, the account number of the person youre sending bitcoins to, and how many bitcoins you need to send. And the entire users who are maintaining copies of the blockchain will add your transaction to the present block. Having a bunch of persons hold monitor of transactions looks like a pretty good protection measure. But if all it takes to send bitcoins is a couple of account numbers, that appears like it possibly a security drawback.Its a gigantic crisis with typical cash just consider about all the methods criminals attempt to steal different peoples credit card knowledge. And with bitcoin, theres no relevant bank to notice anything weird occurring to close down fraud, like if it gave the impression of suddenly you spent your complete existence savings on pork jerky. So whats stopping Hank from pretending hes me and simply sending himself all of my bitcoins? Bitcoins are saved lovely reliable thanks to cryptography, which is why its considered a cryptocurrency. In particular, bitcoin stays cozy due to the fact that of keys, that are essentially chunks of information that can be utilized to make mathematical ensures about messages, like howdy, this is relatively from me! While you create an account on the bitcoin network, which you could have heard called a wallet, that account is linked to 2 particular keys: a personal key, and a public key.On this case, the private key can take some knowledge and sincerely mark it, also known as signing it, so that other individuals can affirm these signatures later if they need. So lets say I want to send a message to the community that says, Michael sends 3 bitcoins to Olivia. I sign that message utilising my private key, which handiest i have access to, and no person else can replicate. Then, I ship that signed message out to the bitcoin network, and everyone can use my public key to be certain my signature tests out. That method, every body preserving track of all of the bitcoin trading is aware of to add my transaction to their copy of the blockchain. In other phrases, if the public key works, thats proof that the message was signed by way of my exclusive key and is some thing I wanted to ship.Unlike a handwritten signature, or a credit card quantity, this proof of identity isnt some thing that may be faked by means of a rip-off artist. The who part of every transaction is obviously major, to be certain the proper people are swapping bitcoins. However the when issues, as well. If you happen to had a thousand greenbacks in your bank account, for example, and tried to buy two matters for a thousand bucks every, the bank would honor the primary purchase and deny the second.If the financial institution didnt do that, youd be in a position to spend the same money multiple instances. Which might sound incredible, however its additionally terrible. A economic method cant work like that, due to the fact no one would get paid. So if I best have enough money to pay Olivia or Hank, however i attempt to pay them each, theres a verify constructed into the bitcoin process. Both the bitcoin community and your pockets automatically determine your prior transactions to be certain you have ample bitcoins to send within the first place. But theres one more predicament that might occur with timing: considering that plenty of men and women are maintaining copies of the blockchain everywhere the arena, community delays imply that you wont normally receive the transaction requests within the equal order. So now youve obtained a bunch of persons with a bunch of relatively distinctive blocks to decide upon from, but none of them are necessarily fallacious.Okay, bitcoin. How do you solve that hindrance? Seems, its by using certainly solving problems. Math issues. To add a block of transactions to the chain, each and every individual retaining a ledger has to clear up a specified type of math difficulty created via a cryptographic hash function. A hash perform is an algorithm that takes an input of any measurement, and turns it into an output with a fixed dimension. For example, we could say you had this string of numbers as your input And our example hash perform says to add the entire numbers collectively. So, on this case, the output could be 10. What makes hash capabilities fairly just right for cryptography is that once youre given an enter, its particularly handy to search out the output. But its really tough to take an output and determine the common enter. Even in this super simple instance, there are plenty of strings of numbers that add as much as 10. The only method to determine that the enter was 1-2-3-4 is to just bet except you get it right. Now, the hash function that bitcoin uses is called SHA256, which stands for relaxed Hash Algorithm 256-bit.And it used to be at the beginning developed with the aid of the U.S. National safety agency. Computers that were principally designed to solve SHA256 hash issues take, on normal, about ten minutes to guess the solution to each one. That implies theyre churning by way of billions and billions of guesses before they get it correct. Whoever solves the hash first gets so as to add the next block of transactions to the blockchain, which then generates a brand new math hindrance that wishes to be solved. If a couple of people make blocks at roughly the equal time, then the network picks one to hold constructing upon, which becomes the longest, and most trusted chain. And any transactions in these alternate branches of the chain get put back into a pool to be brought onto later blocks. These volunteers spend 1000’s of bucks on certain computers built to clear up SHA256 issues, and run their electrical power fees up sky excessive to maintain those machines walking. However why? What do they get out of retaining the blockchain? Is it simply community provider? Good, bitcoin sincerely has a built-in method to reward them.In these days, each time you win the race to add a block to the blockchain, 12 and a half of new bitcoins are created out of thin air, and awarded to your account. In fact, you might comprehend the bitcoin ledger-keepers by means of one more name: miners.

Episode #4: “I said I was ready to flip but is there even any room to flip?” -Rhys
Okay so, a few things to go over.
Tribal went swimmingly once again. Although I was worried of a potential idol play AND a potential tie, Jose went home. Not necessarily the GREATEST move for my game since I got along with him more than Mo, but it's not that big of a deal.
On the other hand of the spectrum...TRIBE SWAP AND I COULDN'T BE MORE STOKED for it. Myself, Mo, Felix and Ahrre hold the majority on Merica with Wes looking in. I'm hoping we can pull off a win at the immunity challenge anyways cuz IT'D BE NICE TO FRIGGIN WIN FOR ONCE, LOL. But if we lose, it wouldn't be too big of a deal.
o no bby... i've been separated from my other half </3 but i'm here for a switch up.... i love that there are 3 tribes now and the swap was very mixed up, like every tribe has a unique dynamic so i'm v intrigued. my tribe has 4 from og Sewyn with me, Rhys, Jones, Madison along with Tobi as the lone og Mercia hmmmm. hm. Tobi is not a stranger to me so that is a door that is open... I haven't talked with Madison at all yet oops, and only a little bit with Jones. Honestly a lil nervous about what will happen and bihhh SO happy i have an idol that no one here knows about.... i'm definitely ready to get this game shaking whewwwww
SOOOOO WE JUST GOT SWAPPED... FUCK!!! MY!!!! LIFE!!! LIKE THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DOING MY FUCKING TAR LEG.. LET ME TELL U.
LIKE.. RYAN IS STUCK WITH THE FUCKING JONES/MADISON PAIR... IM STUCK WITH THE LINUS/MALIK PAIR WHO IDK IF THEYRE GUNNA KEEP ME.. and michael and danielle like who.. aLMFJBFg. like im gonna be fine with a social game w/ michael but idk how imgunna talk to danielle.. she seems kinda gamebotty and she messaged me IMMEDIATELY to say heyy and im like.. chill out sis
ughghghghghghghg im actually gonna kill myslef but ive been through worse.. i just hope that ryan/rhys keep themselves safe ):
I MADE IIIIIIIIIIIIT WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EVEN THOUGH I HAD TO VOTE OUT MY CLOSEST ALLY TO SAVE MY OWN ASS I COULDNT EVEN TALK TO HIM BECAUSE I FELT SO GUILTY. Second tribal in a row where my name was read, I just wanna he immune and not have Anna read my name that would be fucking phenomenal. It’s pizza night and I got a fucking blister from pebble stuck in my sock so my toe hurts but we got cheesy breadsticks so it’s all good.
Of course I’m in a tribe with 3 people I didn’t talk with. And tobi. I said I was ready to flip but is there even any room to flip 🙄.
So like... this swap... haha... im the only one from my old tribe in the new sweyn.. haha... love getting swapfucked haha... but like lowkey i think i can work this out so like ryan already came to me and said he wanted to work together which is AWESOME (if he's telling the truth that is) because we have played together in the past (but like... i blindsided him... so not such good history..) and like i think i can work on jones too (we literally played an org prior to this together... i voted her out too...) so maybe im okay??? okay so this might be totally like... completely off.. but madisin (medicine?) said she was gone for 5 hours and like... idk it could be an indication that she might be a more inactive player compared to most and I could possibly use that to my advantage to find a crack but like idk I feel like there's a big chance im gonna be unbelievably swap fucked and im not gonna get to merge but all i can do is try my best in these immunity challenges (but not too good hehe) so that i can avoid tribal council
Hi I have more than one thing happening so I’ll sum up the smaller things in bullet points then go on my paragraph long rants: - Jose got voted out and I’m sad I hope he wins fan favorite - two of my favorite people irl, Mo and Madison, BOTH have strikes and I’m sad :c Time for the rants: SO I think the most important thing that happened was a tribe swap? And it’s like,,a double edged sword Bc I’m on a majority tribe with it sweyn, BUT a good ally of mine, Scott/Scoots/Scooty was SWITCHED onto another tribe and that makes me sad :c he has all my castle info, and I have all his and we were working well together :c at least he’s on a sweyn majority tribe NOW ON THE OTHER HAND in Scooty’s place,,,Tobi joins the tribe!! Which is honestly really great when it comes to being friends, but like,, game wise tobi is so scary. I’m obviously not gonna rely everything I do based on what happens in previous orgs, but scooty said he plays the same way a lot. So that could be messy/lying constantly as far as I know. I don’t want to vote him out yet though, so hopefully we can keep winning immunity and keep him safe? I’d hope? BUT If we do go to tribal council, I think my first vote would go to Madison. I love her to death outside of this game and she does really well in orgs, but I know she’s not mentally in it rn to put her heart into it. BUT she did give me an idol clue!! Which is always great, but she hasn’t really put a lot of effort into everything else challenge wise so I feel like she’d be pretty expendable if that makes sense. I think right now the most exciting thing for me right now though is just the fact that I, for ONCE, have options. Which is GREAT and that’s all I have to worry about. Wish Sweyn luck in the live tribal!!
FUCK ME. Damn luck has not been in my side this game damn so now it’s 3 vs 2 and I’m in the seeming minority so my best move right now is to turn it the fuck up and be a social butterfly make the connections and hopefully make it further along or at the very least make them go after dani first. I’m also gonna try my bestest to find the idol so hopefully me and dani can make it further.
Okay so I already feel closer to Toby that everyone else on my tribe what. Legit talked to him for 2 hours but had more of a conversation with him then, compared to everyone else On my tribe.
don’t know if I ever put it in but when I first got on the swapped tribe, I thought I was likely alright! I got Scott and Linus on my tribe, and the lovely big tuna. So to me it’d make sense to gun for Michael to go, but he’s kinda nice so idk if I want to try that. And then earlier I was one post away from giving us immunity, and I feel bad that I couldn’t do that. I just hope I don’t go home for this or anything.
Okay. So the challenge starts yeah. Everyone is here besides madisin. Not surprised she’s never here. But wait, didn’t you message Ryan and Jones. Oh they left me on read. Can’t say I’m surprised.
Madison and Jones completely fuck that challenge. Then me and Ryan go out consecutively at 9th and 8th. Like fuck. I want Tobi to be safe. I don’t want him going home.
Somehow this fucking legend pulled something out of his ass and he slayed the other tribes cause fuck. He won immunity and reward.
Yet to know the reward. But Tobi made it seem like he didn’t want to go to tribal. Fair enough, reasonable. But it was him sounding like he didn’t want to loose someone in the tribe. Maybe that’s me being paranoid as fuck but it makes me wonder if my tribe r active and just don’t talk to me. So hmmm let’s hope I’m not being silly and blind
youtube
OMG IT FEELS SO FUCKING GOOD TO WIN IMMUNITY FINALLY. I'm so proud of my boy Felix for coming clutch for our tribe. If we had lost, I'm pretty sure Wes would've been gone, no question. But I'm glad to finally be safe for once.
Linus quits.

Inspiration from 7 Up, Lauren Oliver, Julien Baker, and More
Once a month (or so), I share a dozen things that have inspired me to greater personal, professional, and financial success in my life. I hope they bring similar success to your life. 1. Thoreau on happiness Happiness is like a butterfly, the more you chase it, the more it will evade you, but if you notice the other things around you, it will gently come and sit on your shoulder. Henry David Thoreau I spent a lot of years of my life chasing happiness, believing that I could somehow build a happy life. What I learned is that such an endeavor is basically impossible. Instead, you should try to build a life thats in line with what your values and principles are, and what youll find is that happiness naturally bubbles up as you get closer and closer to that destination. Happiness is a side effect of doing something worthwhile. When you do worthwhile things, happiness occurs naturally. If you chase happiness for happinesss sake, youll never actually catch it. [embedded content] From the Wikipedia entry on the series: The Up Series is a series of documentary filmsproduced by Granada Television that have followed the lives of fourteen British children since 1964, when they were seven years old. So far the documentary has had eight episodes spanning 49 years (one episode every seven years) and the documentary has been broadcast on both ITV and BBC. In a 2005 Channel 4 programme, the series topped the list of The 50 Greatest Documentaries. The children were selected to represent the range of socio-economic backgrounds in Britain at that time, with the explicit assumption that each childs social class predetermines their future. Every seven years, the director, Michael Apted, films material from those of the fourteen who choose to participate. The last installment, 56 Up, premiered in May 2012; Apted has stated that filming for 63 Up will occur in late 2018, for release in spring 2019. Apted has also been reported as saying: I hope to do 84 Up when Ill be 99. The aim of the series is stated at the beginning of 7 Up as: Why do we bring these children together? Because we want to get a glimpse of England in the year 2000. The shop steward and the executive of the year 2000 are now seven years old. The video embedded above (if you cant see it, you can reach it by clicking on the link) is the full documentary 7 Up, which covers the fourteen children as they were in 1964, as seven year olds. Each subsequent entry in the series revisits most of the children at seven year intervals in their lives, as things go in different directions for them. I watched these for the first time as a marathon in around 2002, when 42 Up was the newest entry available; I watched the entire series again a few years later after 49 Up was released, and yet again with the making of 56 Up. Each time it utterly charmed me and left me thinking about the fragility and difficulty and beauty of human lives. A few days ago, a friend of mine pointed out that all of the films were freely available on Youtube, so theres no reason not to dive in. This Youtube list contains the entire series, starting with 7 Up and continuing through 56 Up, the most recent entry. 3. Lauren Oliver on the whole of people I shiver, thinking how easy it is to be totally wrong about people; to see one tiny part of them and confuse it for the whole. Lauren Oliver I feel like this is a good quote to pair with 7 Up, actually. In that series and in fact, throughout our lives we get only relatively small glances at these people. We see only little slivers of their lives. Even with the best efforts of the filmmakers, this would be true; a filmmaker visiting a person for a few days once every seven years cannot capture their true nature. Yet, as I watch those films, I cant help but draw some conclusions. I think I would be friends with some of them, and Id probably avoid other ones. Those quick takes may or may not be accurate. Im making them based on really limited information about a person. I might be seeing that person at their best or at their worst. I might be seeing a quirky moment thats not emblematic of them as a whole. Its impossible to really tell. What I do know is this: some of the worst mistakes Ive made in life have been due to snap judgments about people, almost all of them more negative than they ever should have been. I drew some very negative conclusions about people and guided my behavior regarding them based on very little information mixed in with my own ideas and assumptions, and it has cost me many potential dear relationships over the years. The tiny part of a person that you actually see is a pretty poor representative of the whole. This article by Jason Fagone chronicles the store of Jerry and Marge Selbee, who, in their retirement, discovered and then exploited holes in the Michigan and Massachusetts state lottery systems. I found myself reading this article one evening while Sarah was busy grading papers, and I couldnt help but mention to her that this is literally the kind of thing that I can see us doing in retirement. Were both curious people who like to understand how systems work. We arent afraid to take big leaps of faith on things that we feel certain about. Id like to think that Sarah and I, in our later years, will go on a lot of quirky adventures, like Jerry and Marge. Im also sharing this because its just a fun story, a well written one by Jason Fagone. This ones really worth your time. 5. Benjamin Franklin on apologies Never ruin an apology with an excuse. Benjamin Franklin One of the hardest things to do is to genuinely apologize when youve made a mistake and not turn it into an excuse or an avenue for blaming others. Anything beyond I messed up is simply a way to deflect blame off of yourself and, in the process, make the apology a lot less valuable. An apology that ends up being nothing more than a redirection of blame or an excuse of a mistake is a worthless apology; in fact, youre often leaving things in an even worse state because the other person perceives that you wont own up to your mistakes. When you mess up, apologize sincerely without excusing your mistake or blaming others. Admit that you messed up, state that youre sorry for it, and that you want to do what you can to make it right and to make sure it wont happen again. Make it clear that its on you, not on anyone else. Its hard to do that. Its much easier to just shovel the blame onto someone or something else. If you do that, though, you eliminate virtually all of the meaning of the apology and look pretty weak to boot. [embedded content] From the description: Do you know what you want when you die? Do you know how you want to be remembered? In a candid, heartfelt talk about a subject most of us would rather not discuss, Michelle Knox asks each of us to reflect on our core values around death and share them with our loved ones, so they can make informed decisions without fear of having failed to honor our legacies. Life would be a lot easier to live if we talked about death now, Knox says. We need to discuss these issues when we are fit and healthy so we can take the emotion out of it and then we can learn not just what is important, but why its important. This whole video harkens back to a big theme Ive come to really understand in my life in the last few years. The best time to talk about something is when youre as far away from emotion as possible regarding that thing. So, for example, dont talk about death when youre sick. Talk about it when youre healthy and vibrant, so theres as little emotion as possible in the subject. When youre talking to your parents about aging, dont do it at their moment of weakness. Wait for a time of strength, when theyre feeling as healthy and unemotional as possible, and then have that discussion. Dont talk about a marital problem when youre both riding the wave of that problem. Talk about it when youre getting along well and youre far away from that problematic area emotionally. This is a key life lesson, one that has stuck with me over the years, and this video really highlights that idea. 7. Roy T. Bennett on self-improvement and criticism Let the improvement of yourself keep you so busy that you have no time to criticize others. Roy T. Bennett Unless criticism is asked for, criticism of others is rarely a worthwhile endeavor. It achieves very little and often has the opposite effect of what you desire, with the recipient ignoring the content of what youre saying and just being upset with you. Hold it in. If you dont have something worthwhile to say, then dont say it at all. That doesnt mean that one should never criticize. A person should definitely criticize from time to time, but it should generally be at the invitation of the person who seeks criticism and is looking for ways to improve. Brutal honesty doesnt achieve anything worthwhile. [embedded content] From the description: In March of 2016, just a handful of months after her debut album Sprained Ankle was released, Julien Baker came and played a quiet, thoughtful Tiny Desk concert that went on to become one of our most popular and certainly one of the most-talked-about Tiny Desk Concerts of the year. (Its now approaching two million views on YouTube alone.) Fast forward to the summer of 2017, when I heard that a new record was imminent. I dont usually ask an artist back for a second Tiny Desk Concert simply because they have a new release but for Julien, I had to make an exception. With all the love that surrounded her first visit to the NPR offices, I reached out to ask if she would be willing to do something different this time around. Last fall, she delivered. All the songs for her return to the Tiny Desk come from last years Turn Out The Lights. Just a few weeks before the albums release, she came to Washington; we tuned our piano, she brought violinist Camille Faulkner. The first two songs, Hurt Less and Even, were accompanied by Camille, with Julien on piano for the opening tune and acoustic guitar on the second. Its quite stunning, as she sings: Putting my fist through the plaster in the bathroom of a Motel 6 I must have pictured it all a thousand times I swear to God I think Im gonna die I know you were right I cant be fixed, so help me For the last, Julien put together an arrangement of Appointments that begins on electric guitar, which then was looped as a backdrop to her on piano and voice. Julien Baker is a massively talented songwriter with a deeply caring heart and a perfectionist streak all of which delivered to her a career-making year. We are so thrilled to have her return. Set List Hurt Less Even Appointments Shes just fantastic. Well worth a listen. 9. Inspirational notes For the last several months, about once a week or so, Ill stick a note inside of one of my childrens backpacks. Its a note card in an envelope with their name on the front, and on the inside, I just write a short note saying something I admire about their character and how I hope they share that with the world. It takes me about ten minutes or so to do this. I just stop for a little bit, think of some truly worthwhile characteristic that one of my children possesses, and then Ill write about it. Ill tell a quick anecdote about when I saw that characteristic used in a positive way, how I am incredibly proud that Im their parent when I see them using that aspect of themselves, a gentle encouragement to use that characteristic in other aspects of their life, and a general reminder that I love them. Thats it nothing fancy. I know that my kids have read the notes because of comments Ive overheard, but not one of them has said a word about them to me. I do know that theyre read, though, and I do know that theyre thought about, and thats enough. Will it make a positive difference? Maybe. I think it will, given enough time. Dont just get inspired. Be an inspiration. 10. Muhammad Ali on the pebble in your shoe It isnt the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; its the pebble in your shoe. Muhammad Ali Its often one or two little details that make the difference between success and failure. You might be able to perfectly nail everything else you need for a diet, but its that mid-afternoon wave of hunger that you thoughtlessly indulge that undoes things. You might have perfect control over your spending except for that one little linchpin. Maybes its online spending at a particular website, or maybe its regular splurging on food. Whatever it is, theres often some little detail that puts a big scratch on the beautiful surface of your progress. The thing is, its far more meaningful to stop and pull that pebble out of your shoe than to keep on running for a little bit longer and just quit. Fix the little problems before they become big ones. [embedded content] From the description: When trying to come up with a new idea, we all have times when we get stuck. But according to research by behavioral and learning scientist Marily Oppezzo, getting up and going for a walk might be all it takes to get your creative juices flowing. In this fun, fast talk, she explains how walking could help you get the most out of your next brainstorm. Going on walks is unquestionably my most powerful creative tool. I dont have anything else in my repertoire that really compares to it. Its part of the reason why winters are often very hard in terms of writing productivity the weather rarely cooperates with the kind of long outdoor walk that I enjoy. While I enjoy winter in small doses, I wouldnt be surprised at all to find Sarah and I living further south in the winter months when we are older. I think it agrees much better with both of us. Still, I cant laud walking enough if youre trying to piece through a difficult idea in your head or youre trying to brainstorm some solutions. 12. JFK on strength Do not pray for easy lives, my friends. Pray to be stronger men. John Fitzgerald Kennedy Hoping that the future will become easier wont really help very much. Its very likely that the future wont become easier. Instead, recognize that your life right now probably is easier than it will be in the future and plan accordingly. Work a little harder today so you dont have to work quite as hard tomorrow. Save a little money today so you dont have to scramble tomorrow. Dont hope for an easier life. Work for a stronger you. https://www.thesimpledollar.com/inspiration-from-7-up-lauren-oliver-julien-baker-and-more/

‘Are You The One?’ Recap: Hi My Name Is Tyranny And Im An Alcoholic
Hello everyone. I would like to thank my loyal followers for questioning my whereabouts on Twitter. I was actually on vacation, because Im not poor. Sorry, but watching these morons was just not a fucking option. I was zen AF and I dont need Carolinas crocodile tears ruining it, k thx.
ANYWAYS, so onto the episode. It was kind of eh, Im going to be honest. If youre looking for another reason to be annoyed by Giannas existence though, then it def delivered.
AFTER THE MATCH CEREMONY
They are all pumped about getting four beams. In fact, if you took a shot for every time someone said four fucking beams youd need to get stomach pumped four fucking times.
Tyranny is like Ossssssssssssssssvaldo is my match. Honestly can we just cut the accent though? Hes from Chicago for gods sake, not Italy.
Oswaldo is not so sure. Hes like she could be my match! Or she isnt! Yeah, thats pretty much how life works, actually.
Also, can we acknowledge the giant-ass drink Tee has the whole time? That cup is actually my favorite cast member this season.
Carolina and Hayden start having a pillow fight because FOUR FUCKING BEAMS, AMIRIGHT?
Now Carolina is very suddenly into Hayden. Carolinas emotions give me whiplash. Betsy DeVos nomination was more certain than this bitch.
Gianna is like “OH NO. NOT TODAY. I DID NOT LEAVE THE SOUTHSIDE FOR THIS.” Shes like I’M GOING TO CONTINUE TO PURSUE THIS MAN WHO TREATS ME SO WELL. Even though they are a confirmed no match. Makes total sense.
So you unfriend-zoned him to cock block him? Seems v fair. So when you go to sleep, do you leave Haydens balls under your pillow or on your nightstand? Let me know.
*Starts Twitter Poll* Is Gianna hot? Yes or No?
Tyler apologizes to Taylor and is like “I have no excuse for being the ‘big bad wolf’ in this.” So youre eating peoples grandmas now? Very Hannibal Lecter-chic. Not sure Tyler understands that hes referencing a fairytale, but hes pretty so well overlook it.
Hes like these girls are all over me wah, life is hard.
TAYLOR: Im mad *looks at Tylers beautiful face* but Im not like, thatttt mad
Hes like Im not that guy, you know that! Shes like,
TYLER: I want to dump Shannon and date you
EVERYONE AT HOME:
Gianna goes to have a talk with Hayden, which she announces for everyone to know. Shes from the Midwest, okay? Shes not used to this whole having brains thing, cut her some slack!
GIANNA: HEY CAMERA GUY IM GOING TO HAVE A TALK WITH HAYDEN ALSO GIANNA: were very low-key shhhh
Little Mike is like this is bullshit, they are not a match, they need to stop and its like SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK.
GIANNA: I dont want to stop you from doing something but stop fucking doing it. (Im not even making that up, thats an exact quote) HAYDEN: But I need to play the game GIANNA: Did I fucking stutter
So Hayden has relocated from friendzone island to being a little bitch island. Need a house warming gift, Hayden? Ill get you crowbar so you can pull your head out of your ass. Youre welcome.
Gianna and Hayden have sex, giving life to the newest Trump supporter Im sure. Carolina sees all of this and is like wtffffff. Shes like, totally in love with Hayden! Like, they spoke for a whole 10 minutes. Didnt that mean anything to him?
Andre is like “IF THEY FUCK THIS UP IM GOING TO BE PISSED” and Im like do it. Get mad. You wont. No balls.
Honestly, Gianna could probs take Andre in a fight. That girl should be a fuckin prison warden.
THE CHALLENGE
The challenge this week is for the dudes. The guys have to spin themselves and then go through an obstacle course. Then they have to shoot a basketball into the hoop of the girl they want to date. The person who shoots the third basketball in the hoop wins the date.
challenges sound like the hazing the gay frats do. Its all v weak.
The guys start the game and are falling all over the place. *plays Ed Sheeran*
Hayden is like, fuck it. Fuck this game. Idfc anymore, Im here for Gianna.
HAYDEN:I love Gianna
ME:
He decides to help Oswaldo win a date with Tee. See heres the thingI like Hayden, but I also think hes being very dumb. Its a hard spot for me rn. Really struggling.
Tee being proud of Oswaldo for winning is like Trump being proud of winning president. We all know he couldnt have won without Hayden/Russia.
Derrick and Joey are trying to win Rush Boobss date. Derrick wants to win because fuck Joey. Theyre shooting for legit five minutes. Seriously, Ive seen better shots from . When is the last time you played basketball? Third grade? Derricks like I played division I basketball! which sounds like an alternative fact to me.
Joey wins. So its Osvaldo/Tee and Joey/Rush Boobs.
Ryan tells them they are going to trapeze and Tee is like Im black, I shouldnt be in the air. How did you get to the Dominican Republic? Drive? Horseback? I didnt know your skin color made you less aerodynamic. I just saw and honestly, Im a fucking scientist now.
BACK AT THE HOUSE
Lets all agree that Tee is low-key alcoholic. Shes constantly sipping from that big-ass cup and it seems like they have a good connection. Could that be her match?
Eddie is talking to Alicia about how he is poor and shes like “LOL not me, cant relate to you peasant.” Eddie, you need to get your ass over to Kam where you fucking belong. Know your fucking place. Do not fuck this up for me, Eddie.
Tyler is trying to break up with Shannon and it is a train fucking wreck. Hes like I need to do the right thing and leave you. He actually stole the whole speech from Gabriella in .
REAL PICTURE OF TYLER:
Shannon is like “I feel dumb.” And she should, because she just got played. I feel bad for Shannon. Her voice makes me want to take a waltz off a bridge, but I do feel things, kind of.
Tylers like I didnt realize girls have feelings and get mad when you treat them poorly. Thats like saying I didnt know when you light shit on fire, it gets hot.
Meanwhile, Tee is very much trying to date rape Osvaldo. Its creepy tbh. If a guy was doing that to a girl on this show I would be dialing 911 by now. Tee, knock it off, it’s super gross.
They go to the boom boom room and literally boom boom because they break something. Oswaldo, way to not hold your ground.
Kam is oiling Eddie up and being goofy. I needed this.
Shes like I know Alicia and Eddy have a good friendship, Im not getting territorial, because this is a game show. I LOVE YOU KAM, I AM STARTING YOUR FAN CLUB. Shes so rational. Everyone be like her please.
THE DATE
Oswaldo is like this date will take our relationship to the next level, even though it already has gone to the next level. *wink, wink* I remember when I lost my virginity. We get it, you had sex.
They go to the trapeze place and Oswaldo is like Hopefully I dont break my neck. Thats a pretty reasonable goal.
They all are like surprisingly good at this. Even Tee, whose blackness surprisingly does not hinder her capabilities. Its a miracle.
Oswaldo and Tee are like being lovey-dovey because they fucked that one time. Hes like shes not trying to rape me and I like this side of her. I too am a big fan of the people who dont try and sexually assault me. Weird.
THE TRUTH BOOTH
Ryan comes in hot and asks about the no matches, aka Gianna and Hayden, still hooking up.
Giannas like HOW IS THIS OUR FAULT??? Uh, youre a confirmed no match and youre hooking up. I feel like Im taking crazy pills. Leave the dumb shit to Rush Boobs, please god.
The house is like, “ugh we hate you, lets just get this shit over with.” Thats how I felt with pledges in my sorority.
Tyranny and Oswaldo go to the truth booth because duh.
OSWALDO: Im excited to learn if were a match and really connect on a deeper level. TEE: Im tryna fuck.
Im stressed because Tee will def die of alcohol poisoning tonight if this doesnt work out. And what do you know, NO MATCH.
Tee was like I was falling in love with him. Shes crying. Hes crying. This is depressing. Did I accidentally sit on the remote and turn on ?
Oswaldo starts boxing while Andre is talking him down and all the guys hug him. Wow, I love the bromance. What I love more is that eventually one of them will try and fight another. #Drama
After everything, Tyler and Shannon are still hanging out. Whats Tylers favorite thing about Shannon? She isnt Taylor. Hes got high standards, ya know? #FourFuckingBeams
Taylor is like youre fucked up. And hes like why, because Im having a conversation?
Ugh Taylor, this paaaaains me to say, because I usually automatically side with the hot girl, but hes low-key right. You need to chill out and move on. Hes not worth it, dude. Hes just not.
Andre asks Taylor wtf shes doing with Tyler and Im like YAS KEEP THIS UP.
Andre is like actually, we like each other, Taylor. And shes like wait, yeah we do. WTF is this Jedi mind control shit Andre has.
ANDRE: *swinging coin back and forth* you are getting very sleepy.. and youre going to fuck me TAYLOR: *eyes glazed* yes, master
He says that she should be a Victorias Secret Model and honestly she should marry him just for that. Like thats compliment of the goddam century.
THE MATCHUP CEREMONY
Its the boys pick tonight. Please note that last time they blacked out harder than Tee does on any given weeknight.
Little Mike gets the ball rollin the wrong way and picks Kam.
Mikes like following our heart doesnt work. Hes like we should venture off, and though thats noble, maaaaaaybe not at the match ceremony. Thats like Michael Phelps being like LOOK FREESTYLE JUST DOESNT WORK right before the 4×100 relay.
Ozzy picks Hannah.
Oswaldo is up next and hes like “I GOTTA DO ME.” He picks Taylor.
Ryan asks Taylor how she feels about Tyler and shes like whos Tyler? Andre and her give each other looks and Im like OKAY YES IM HERE FOR THIS SHIT.
Ryans like Andre, do you wish you were with her and hes like Im practicing my patience. Whatever the fuck that means.
Oswaldo is like standing next to her like, lol just fuck me, right?
Andre picks Casandra.
Eddy picks Alicia and is like this is my homie.
KAM: I AM NOT WORRIED. ARE YOU WORRIED, BECAUSE I AM NOT WORRIED!!! *twitches*
Joey picks Rush boobs.
Derrick picks Gianna. Weird.
Tylers up and fucking moseys up to the front. Goddam hes like a walking Shakespeare playtragically beautiful.
Hes like Ryan, let me speak and Ryans like I didnt even say anything, but ok.
Tyler goes off about how he was painted as the villain and how he is innocent and how all this Taylor shit is fake news and the failing lamestream media is spreading false rumors!!! Sad!
Ryan asks Tyler who he likes more, Shannon or Taylor and Tyler picks Shannon.
RYAN: Do you think Tyler is your match? SHANNON: IDK RYAN: Is Taylor his match? SHANNON: IDK RYAN: Is the world round? SHANNON: IDK
Tylers talking about his breakup with Taylor and is like it sucks because you cant delete people in the real world. This is the first thing that I agree with him on. Dont worry Tyler, Ive watched . Well get to that point someday.
Michael picks KARI. Is it Carrie or KAAAAAARI? I have been saying KAAAAARI. Please DM some confirmation.
Hayden is next. Hayden tells the group that him and Gianna are affecting the game and they are going to stop screwing everyone over.
Gianna is like “WTF. WHO TOLD HIM HE COULD SPEAK? WHO LET HIM OUT OF HIS CAGE?” He picks Carolina. Hehe.
Jaylen and Tee are last. Tee is really bummed about Oswaldo and Ryan is like, “bitch its week four.”
These couples are random AF but idk Im drunk and just here to shit talk. Dont give that much of a fuck.
No blackout, so thats good. They get four beams again. Cant wait to hear them talk about it incessantly.
