"Patience is a virtue"

[seat-safety-switch]

Being famous is always held up as an achievement that's not all it's cracked up to be. Think about that real hard. If that were true, then why do people try so hard to become famous? The only possible explanation is that the existing famous people are trying to cut down on the competition, discouraging you from becoming rich and powerful like them.

In the modern era, there are more ways than ever to become famous. Thanks to fancy new technologies, you can film yourself ranting about your current obsession from the front seat of your 2006 F-150 and receive instant gratification. Or not, as the case may be, but you got a lot of irons in the fire. Maybe this other marginalized group is the secret sauce to make real grievance numbers? Worth a shot. Keep on that grind.

Your one-in-a-million chance will arrive. Maybe, despite all your best efforts, you're not going to become famous for what you're really passionate about. Statistically, scientists say, your brush with the collective social consciousness of the entire human race will come from throwing up live on camera during a taping of Good Morning America where you forgot that you are actually allergic to lobster tails. Congrats, buddy, we always knew you had it in you to hit the big-time.

Thing is, once you've gotten there, what's next? Everyone gets their fifteen minutes of fame (because we're in the future,) but people are selfish. Greedy. They want sixteen minutes of fame, goddammit, and they're willing to do nearly anything in order to get it. As far as I can tell, there's only two paths out of this state, maybe three if you're willing to go wandering in the mountains and never return, but let's stick to the basics here.

The first "exit" you have from your waning fame is to become insufferable and ruin the lives of everyone around you. Burn the world down with you in it. Make them rue the day they ever gave you power, even if that "power" was largely illusory and consisted entirely of social leverage because people liked laughing at a 35-second YouTube video of you embarrassing yourself in public.

Didn't like that one? Neither do I. So we're onto option two: the comic convention circuit. You'll travel across the world, signing autographs for people who dimly remember your guest spot on an episode of Hoarders X. It doesn't pay well, but it does something more important. Like a fibreglass splinter in a finger, society will continue to throb painfully around you, but unable to dispose of you, with the eventual reward being that your demise will be met with "they were still alive?" on the lips of everyone who was once vaguely aware of your existence. And that's how you win at being human.

Superhero to Superslob - pt 3

two stories in one day wow

Honestly I would have just combined parts two and three but I wanted them separate.

Synopsis: Jupiter is now well and truly a slob and it doesn't look like he'll be going back anytime soon...

"Ugh…" Justin sighed, looking into the mirror. "What's happened to me?" It had been, what? two weeks? since his last fight with Corruptor and so he hadn't had any reason to wear his supersuit. But lately, Justin had been noticing some… unexpected changes. His pants had started to get a bit tight and his shirts were starting to rise up to reveal a mound of fat that had formed over his six pack. Now, he was standing in front of the mirror, in his supersuit, trying to see if the changes were really that noticeable. They were. Supersuits don't leave a lot to the imagination. He ran a hand along the curve of his belly, feeling the bulge beneath the thin, silky fabric of the supersuit. It wasn't a lot of fat, but for someone who took great pride in his fitness, it was a shock. And yet… for some reason, he didn't feel quite as disgusted with himself as he expected. He quickly pulled his hand away and shook his head. No, he needed to focus. Who'd ever heard of an overweight superhero?

He went to the kitchen and took in the slowly accumulating piles of empty take away boxes. He'd been developing an insatiable craving for all things salty, fatty and sweet. Plus, he was struggling to find the energy to put in the effort to cook proper meals, and buying take away or junk food was just so much easier. His stomach growled. I can start dieting tomorrow, he reasoned, going to the fridge. I mean, it's not like I'll get rid of this gut in a day, so what's one more or one less in the grand scheme of things? He pulled out a frozen lasagna from the freezer and grabbed a bottle of beer left out on the counter. With his superstrong teeth, he bit off the cap and spat it onto the floor where it joined other rubbish he'd let build up. Justin's motivation to clean had taken a nosedive lately, but focused on sating his hunger, he paid the mess no mind. He plopped down on the couch and, focusing on his frozen pasta, he used his heat vision to warm it up. Soon the scent of baked pasta and golden brown cheese wafted through the apartment. He went to take a sip of beer and frowned. "Gah, it's warm. I should've remembered to put it in the fridge." Justin inhaled and blew gently on the glass bottle, his freeze breath chilling it to the perfect temperature. He dub into his meal, enjoying the feeling of the greasy carbs as they settled in his stomach. He took a swig of beer to wash it down and let out a burp:

"BOOOOOAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRPPPP!"

Being a superhero, Justin's belches were naturally amplified. He chuckled to himself and patted his stomach. "I'll scare the neighbours if I'm not careful." He continued to shovel down lasagna, wiping his sauce-covered fingers on his supersuit and using his cape as a napkin. When he was done, he simply tossed the tray aside and lay down on the couch. His gut bloated with pasta and beer, Justin noticed the bottom of his belly peeking out from under his supersuit's top. "Boy, I really packed that away," he smiled. "I guess being a superhero means I've got supersized stomach capacity." He brushed his fingers along the slither of uncovered skin, feeling oddly proud of himself.

Meanwhile, at the junkyard, the Corruptor and Glob watched on their monitor. "It's working!" the Corruptor cheered. "Look at him! He's becoming a fat slob!" "This seems to be confirming my theory," Glob jotted down some notes. "You see, my preliminary tests had suggested the ray might have a mental effect on the victim." "A mental effect? I thought it just weakened Jupiter?" "Yes, but it also weakens his mental strength, his ability to resist temptation. It seems it's reducing his ability to make good judgements when one of the options gives instant gratification and the other requires hard work." "What does that mean for us?" Glob smirked. "I think it means pretty soon, he'll start to enjoy being a lazy slob so much that he won't be able to stop himself." She looked at the monitor and saw Justin reach out for a pack of lollies which he proceeded to pour down his gullet. "Maybe it's already too late for him… Shall we start the ambush soon?" "No, no…" the Corruptor said, rubbing his chin pensively as he watched Justin make a pig of himself. "I was impatient before, but watching what we've achieved, I wonder if perhaps we had the wrong tactic. It seems we might not even need to strike." "We won't?" The Corruptor grinned. "No. I think Jupiter might bring about his own demise all on his own…"

advice for letting go of addiction to junk food? /:

I find that attachment to junk food is often due in part to not really ever falling in love with nourishing whole food ingredients. You're only gonna ever find joy in turning away from junk food when you're just as, or more, attracted to the whole food alternatives you're giving yourself. It shouldn't be about punishment or self-denial. It's about satisfaction, excitement, and self-love. Don't beat yourself up about your current situation. Simply, step forward into this new journey with patience & self-compassion.

💚So, first things first is really developing a longgg list of whole foods that you enjoy. Different fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, seaweeds, foraged plants, seeds, nuts, herbs & spices, and so on. I recommend mostly purchasing what's in season (the taste, texture, and price points tend to be way better!), and visiting farmer's markets when possible (in my state, they take food stamps and have tons of discounts, to make the produce more accessible to all. I hope it's similar where you are). You may have to do some learning about how to identify fresh & ripe produce, determine how to identify good quality, comparing the tastes depending on food preparation methods (boiled vs roasted vs fresh vs pickled), and little things like that. Don't be afraid to try new things. You will likely find that you grow to like things you would've formerly disliked.

💚Next is to get into finding alternatives for your previous favorites. Especially snacks or quick meals. So, let's say that you are super into potato chips and instant noodles...swap that for homemade chips or wedges (you can make them in the microwave, air fryer, or oven - with little to no oil) & a simple noodle soup (packed with herbs, some miso and/or seaweed, a few veggies of your choice, and anything else you might like).

💚It's critical as well to really develop a rolling menu of recipes to make yourself. Your meals don't have to be complex or take ages (something like a taco bowl is great). Focus on simple but flavor-filled meals by highlighting the fresh flavors and spices, and by creating a well-rounded flavor profile in your dishes (for savory dishes: umami/salty + sour + sweet + optionally herby, spicy, and/or bitter). An accent flavor (or something to make the dish pop) is also great, such as citrus zest, liquid aminos, coconut, paprika, sesame seeds, green onion. Have ideas for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, desserts, sauces & dressings, drinks, and snacks & dips.

💚Notice keenly how much better you feel when you reduce the junk food. Choose that good feeling over some really short-lived gratification. Notice, too, how poorly junk food can leave you feeling.

💚Learn to journal or tap into a hobby when your emotions get high and you want something unhealthy to "drown out your feelings." It's not about the fact that those foods aren't great for you. It's about paying attention to your feelings instead of stuffing them away.

💚Eliminate the misconception that it's cheaper eating junk food. You're less likely to feel the natural satiation point when you're eating low nourishment foods, so overeating is quite normal when you eat lots of processed foods. Also, the processing of such foods often is less kind on the earth compared to whole plant foods. So, it's expensive in that larger scale too. And you just aren't your best self - less energy, motivation, and stuff are likely when junk food is your primary fuel. The most affordable foods worldwide are typically satiating whole plant foods (grains, legumes, potatoes, etc).

💚Don't keep junk food around all the time. It turns into an 'out of sight, out of mind' thing.

💚Change the way you grocery shop. Spend time in the produce section especially. Always leave with things like greens, seasonal fruit, frozen fruit/veg, root veggies, etc. Discover which stores have the best options and actually stock quality produce. Wholesalers/big box stores & ethnic markets tend to do pretty good.

💚Create new habits. When you get home from work, you might be used to eating a certain snack. Interrupt that habit with a new one.

💚Stay hydrated. Water-rich produce (like cucumbers, oranges, leafy greens, berries) and drinking water can both help. Sometimes, we seek food when we're actually thirsty.

💚Start your days on a good note with fresh flavors. I recommend fruit for the sweetness and energy. And make sure your meals are satisfying and nutrient-dense, so you aren't starving and looking for energy drinks or anything an hour later.

💚Don't be all-or-nothing in your approach. This helps you to avoid that punishment mindset. It's just about choosing the food that really makes you feel good and happy and content.

💚Try out flavors from around the world. Get into ingredients and flavor profiles you've been missing out on. For example, rosewater, tomatillos, various mushrooms, berbere spice, different curries, dragonfruit, pandan. I just love traveling via my plates. It's an easy way to romanticize your life.

💚Learn to make a good, hearty, interesting salad. Smoothie bowls are a good thing to learn too. These are low-effort meals that are great when the weather is hot, you're busy, and/or your energy is low.

💚Get into making your own condiments. These can add an extra kick of flavor and interest for your dishes. For example, herb infused vinegars and oils, hot sauce, pickled veggies, rich sauces, etc.

💚Avoid food waste. Often when people are trying to eat better, the produce they purchase often goes bad before they can incorporate it into meals. Store items properly to extend their shelf life. Buy some fruit somewhat underripe (if they're a kind that ripens off the tree). Freeze things before they can go bad. Make soup broths, pickles, kimchi, jams, sauces, etc. Make meals around what is ready to be used. Also, don't be overly adventurous and buy too many unfamiliar ingredients at once.

💚And I'll end on an unexpected one. Spend more time outside in nature. You are typically become appreciative all those colors and scents and intrigue in simple/slow food meals when you do.

I wish you the best & I apologize for taking a while to respond.

Lili

December update:

I have enough works in my backlog that I’ll be able to post at least one story/chapter once a week this month, moving into January, which is huge. I’ve been wanting to start posting consistently and steadily and training myself to not seek out instant gratification (it’s hard).

I’m working on the kiss prompt responses. The majority are done, and will be posted in the schedule. A few of them became a little longer than just a drabble.

I have several one shots I’ll be posting. A few Saga/Casey, a few Alan/Casey, and of course, a few Trench/Darling pieces. Very excited to share all of them!!

I met my writing goal for the year, but I still want to keep up the momentum. I’m deep in the Alan Wake and Control sauce, so expect to see more works in those fandoms. I especially want to write some holiday oriented fics for those pairings I listed!

Just wanted to say thank you again to those who have read and commented on my works. For all the support. This year has been a positive one for me and writing, and I genuinely mean it when I say it’s been so much fun getting to know people in these fandoms. I’m glad to be back on tumblr and interacting with people who have The Brainworms(TM) about this stuff.

Hoping to end the year on a high note. I wish everyone a warm, calm, safe December. May you complete your goals too. I believe in you!!!

Weremayhem: Song of Beasts. Ch 34: Panic of Feline

 Xavier left the Shack a few minutes after meeting his older brother, Teeth. He huffs as he drives back to his hotel. The ginger haired male rubbed his goatee to try calming himself down. Xavier wishes for his wife, Ruby to be here and tell him that things are fine. 

“Am I….being harsh on him?” he asked himself. The ginger haired male quickly shakes his head. 

“No! I’m not. He deserves it!” Xavier said to himself as he pulled into the hotel parking lot. 

Back at the shack and in the basement, the Mayhem were checking their phones out. “Hey” said Dr. Teeth to his bandmates. 

“Talk about a revelation of momentous proportions” he added with a smile. 

“We twittered once, and now the world’s twittering back.” said the doc. The band agrees. 

“The instant gratification is a hit of sheer dopamine surging through my cranium. I am sold” replied Floyd. Lips mumbles. 

“Don’t be,” said Moog as he walked over to the band with a worried look on his face as he held a sleeping Annie in his arms. 

“The Mayhem doesn’t tweet their fans online,” he added. 

“You meet your fans in real life and befriend them,” said the black haired male. 

“And tell them the very intimate details of your personal life,” he added. 

“But, like, now, we’re socially connecting with, like, way more people” replied Janice. 

“It’s like a virtual Woodstock,” she added. 

“Yep, except maybe this time we remember it” replied Floyd Pepper with a laugh. The whole back starts to laugh with the red haired male. 

“Wow. For sure” replied the blonde female. 

“Ooh! Lookie here” said the good doctor as he showed Floyd his phone. 

“Miss Taylor Swift and that Justin Bieber kid just followed us,” he added. 

“Oh, Beyonce and Gaga just tweeted, Whaddup?” replied the red haired male. 

“And Jack Harlow just, like, slid into my DMs” replied Jancie. 

“Don’t know what that means,” replied Floyd Pepper. 

“You know, It’d be most disrespectful not to respond to them all” said Dr. Teeth. 

“Agreed” replied Floyd. The trumpet player and saxophonist both nod their heads. 

“How’s about something like” he started to say before typing. 

“To our fellow music makers, you’re all absotively tremendulous.” The doc type. 

“Right on” said the red haired male. 

“You are all truly talenticious, with stupendorous fans” the good doctor added. 

“Love it” said Floyd Pepper. 

“And send” said the ginger haired male. He sent the tweet. 

Hours later, they were all in Penny’s office. She had her computer turn to the group. It shows Teeth’s tweet. It said “ To our fellow music makers. You’re absolutely terrible. You are all truly talentless with stupid fans.” 

The tweet wasn’t what Dr. Teeth wanted to write. “This is your idea of good publicity?” asked Mrs. Waxman with a scowl on her face. 

“Now, to be clear, the phone tarnishified my beauteous words for some strangestical reason” replied the doc. 

“It’s because your words aren’t actual words” replied Nora. 

“The what?” asked Lips. 

“Yeah, they were autocorrected,” replied Moog. 

“Who is this smart guy and why is he talking to me?” asked the pink haired female, her voice tone sound upset. 

“Now, I’m even more aggravated” she added as she added hot sauce to her sandwich. 

“Don’t be, okay? I will figure out a way to fix this” replied Label Lady. 

“Yeah, while you’re at it, I’m out of Satan’s Blow Out sauce. So you can fix that too” replied Penny Waxman. 

“The hotter, the better,” she added. The good doctor shake his head and let out a “Phew” 

On the way back to the Shack, Nora is upset with the tweet. “This is craziness” said Moog. 

“With one tweet. You started beef with all of music” he added. 

“No beef, please. My vegan belly rejects all bovine” replied Janice. 

“Yeah, we don’t beef with nobody” replied Floyd. 

“Well, except that one band from River Bottom,” he added. 

“Yeah, they were a nightmare” replied Teeth. 

“So, when do I get my photos?” asked Zoot as he turned to Label Lady. 

“Okay, one thing at a time. Okay? First, damage control” said the black haired female. 

“I’m sure JJ’s got a way to fix this whole mess,” she added. 

As they drive through town, suddenly a purple vehicle brakes in front of them. “Hey, now!” said the doc. A green car and a reddish orange jeep pulled up on each side of the van. People in the vehicles can be heard yelling at the mayhem, angrily. A yellow car with black stripes on the hood of it pulled up behind the van. 

The van was square in. Nowhere to run, no exit for them. 

“What’s happening?” asked Nora in a panic tone. 

“Trouble,” replied Moog with wide eyes. The people start to exit their cars. 

Out of the red jeep were a bunch of girls. “Are those Taylor Swift fans?” asked Label Lady. 

“And our vengeance shall be swift” said the leader of the group. 

Dr. Teeth start to stammering and look very panicked. “Why are they doing that?” he asked. The ginger haired male could feel his heart beating faster. His body felt the signs of danger. His pupils quickly change to those of felines. 

“Okay, teeth. Get us out of here!” said Nora in a panic tone of voice. 

“Behind us!” said Janice. The doors to the yellow car opens and a group of women in black leather outfits exit it. 

“You come for our queen, Beyonce. You’re gonna get stung” said the leader of the Beyonce fans. 

“Oh man, we got the BeyHive in the back and the Beliebers in the front, y’all” said Moog in a fear filled tone. 

Out of the purple car, the Beliebers exit it. “You better belieb it’s go time, '' said the leader with her arms crossed. 

“Seems we’ve been emboxified in” said the good doctor. Floyd looked at Teeth and noticed the doc’s eyes were slowly getting more yellow. This isn't  good. They need to leave or otherwise, a oversized feline looking beast be rampaging through town. 

“Oh, my Gaga! It’s the Little Monsters!” said the black haired male. Out of the green car, the group of the fans exit. 

“Mayhem, come out to play,” said the leader in a creepy tone of voice. The mayhem starts to panic. 

“It’s too late now to say sorry!” said the leader of the Beliebers as they all started to attack the van. The groups all try to get into the van or destroy it. 

“What do they want from us?” asked Nora in a fear filled tone. 

“Vengeance” replied Moog. “Look, as a superfan myself, I know how it works,” he added. 

“You cold diss their leader, you cold diss them all” said the black haired male. 

“But how do they even know where to find us?” asked Jancie in a panic tone. 

“It’s the phones, man! I told you they track us!” replied Floyd as he turned to Janice for a second. In the corner of his eyes, he noticed Teeth’s face was…changing with each quick breath. 

“Yeah. It’s okay. Just everybody calm down!” said Label Lady in a panic tone. 

Suddenly hands come through the window on top of the van’s roof and grab Lips. The trumpet player starts to panic as he tries to get out of the grips of the hands. The blonde male was pulled out from the window. 

“They got Lips!” said Janice. 

“Bring him back!” yelled Moog. 

Teeth’s breathing was getting heavy. Sounds of clothes ripping filled the van. A wave of fear wash over everyone. The doc’s face was a mix of his face and his wereform face. His hair was slowly melting into his skin to form fur. The nails on his fingers had turned into claws. 

Zoot quickly grabbed some spare chain they have for Animal and crawled to the front. He quickly ties the chain around Teeth’s neck which the good doctor didn’t even notice. The dark blue haired male knows what will happen next. 

Suddenly the passenger door to the van was ripped off. “They got the door!” yelled Dr. Teeth, his voice was deep and sounded like it is in panic. 

“Oh my God!” yelled the mayhem fan as fear filled his body. The group of fans grabbed Floyd Pepper. 

“Oh no! They got me!” yelled the red haired male in fear. The band screams in fear. As the fans try to get the other members. 

Something suddenly busted through the roof of the van and the sound of the purple car being thrown on its side filled the air. The fans that were attacking quickly looked but it was gone. They continue to attack the van while the rest of the band try to fight them off. 

The thing that busted through the van was…Dr. Teeth in his wereblood form. The beast was running like a cheetah through the town and onto the big road. Zoot was holding for dear life on the back of the doc. He had a death grip on the chain and on the back of the feline. The saxophonist tried to move Teeth to run to the Shack. 

It wasn’t working. Zoot sat up like he was riding a horse. He looked at the sides of Teeth and gulped. “I’m sorry, love but I have to” the dark blue haired male said before using the heels of his dress shoes to kick the sides of Teeth. Hitting the feline on his stomach. 

The pupils of the beast grow small as it changes directions to the Shack. Zoot used the chain to lead the feline. 

Teeth was panting as he ran on all fours. The white vest he was wearing had been ripped in half and flew off his moving body. His rainbow color shirt with designs all over it was hanging on his huge body for dear life like Zoot. The beast’s claws hit the concrete roads as he speeds past cars and bikes. There were some tears in his eyes as he ran like the wind. 

The pants that the doc was wearing was ripped but still on him, same with his black boxers. The shoes were destroyed and left in the van. 

The saxophonist holds on and keeps the feline on the track to the Shack. The feline kept running and jumping over things as they got closer to the Shack.

Advertisers throw their hats into the ring, but only a few will come out victorious. It’s like a digital gladiator match, but instead of swords, it’s all about keywords, bids, and ad quality.

Video ads are where you can really show off. They play before, during, or after videos on platforms like YouTube. It’s like having your own TV commercial, but without the super expensive airtime.

And let’s not forget shopping ads. These are a blessing for online stores. They showcase your products with prices and images, making it easy for shoppers to click and buy.

How much does this party cost? Well, that’s where Cost Per Click (CPC) comes in. It’s like the cover charge for each click. The amount depends on a bunch of things – how competitive your keywords are, how good your ad is, and how much you’re willing to bid.

But here’s the secret sauce: ad quality and relevance. The better your ad copy, the less you’ll pay per click. Plus, it means your ad will get primo placement.

So why should you jump on the PPC bandwagon? First off, it’s like a sniper shot for targeting. You can aim your ads at specific keywords, locations, and even user behavior. No more throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping something sticks.

Master EURUSD on the 5-Minute Chart: Proven Ninja Tactics The 5-Minute EURUSD Strategy That Pros Don’t Want You to Know Ah, the EURUSD pair—the bread and butter of Forex trading. It’s the rockstar of the currency market, with liquidity levels that put ocean tides to shame. But let’s cut the small talk. You’re here to unlock secrets about trading EURUSD on the 5-minute timeframe. So grab your favorite caffeinated beverage and buckle up (metaphorically, of course). Why the 5-Minute Timeframe? Imagine you’re a Formula 1 driver. The 5-minute timeframe is like the fast lane: quick decisions, precise maneuvers, and zero room for hesitation. Traders love it because it: - Offers rapid feedback: No more waiting for days to see how your trade pans out. Instant gratification (or lessons). - Provides scalping opportunities: Small price movements can lead to big profits—if you know what you’re doing. - Reduces overthinking: Forget analysis paralysis; the 5-minute chart demands action. But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Trading this timeframe requires discipline, focus, and a game plan that can outsmart the market—and we’ve got just that. The Myth of Market Noise First, let’s debunk a common myth. Many traders dismiss short timeframes like the 5-minute chart as “noise.” But here’s the thing: what most people call “noise” is just another way of saying they don’t understand the language of the market. Think of it as jazz—chaotic to some, but pure rhythm to the trained ear. The key is learning to interpret those rapid fluctuations and finding hidden patterns that most overlook. The Secret Sauce: Combining Indicators No, we’re not talking about some magic indicator that prints “Buy” and “Sell” signals. Instead, let’s combine proven tools to create a strategy that’s greater than the sum of its parts. 1. Moving Averages: The Backbone - Setup: Use the 20-period EMA (Exponential Moving Average) and the 50-period SMA (Simple Moving Average). - Why it works: The EMA reacts faster to price changes, giving you quick insights, while the SMA provides stability and context. - How to use it: Look for crossovers. When the EMA crosses above the SMA, it’s a potential buy signal. The reverse indicates a sell signal. 2. RSI (Relative Strength Index): The Filter - Setup: Set the RSI to 14 with levels at 30 and 70. - Why it works: RSI tells you if the market is overbought or oversold, acting as a filter for false signals. - Pro Tip: Wait for the RSI to confirm your moving average signals. For example, if the EMA crosses above the SMA, ensure the RSI is above 50. 3. Volume Profile: The Insider’s Edge - Setup: Use a volume indicator to identify high-activity zones. - Why it works: Volume reveals where the big players are placing their bets. Follow the money, and you’re halfway there. - How to use it: Focus on price action near high-volume areas. These zones often act as support or resistance. The Entry and Exit Plan Trading without a plan is like going on a road trip without GPS. Here’s your roadmap: Entry Criteria: - The 20 EMA crosses above the 50 SMA (or below for short trades). - RSI confirms momentum (above 50 for longs, below 50 for shorts). - Price action aligns with high-volume zones. Exit Criteria: - Set your stop loss just below the nearest support (or above resistance for shorts). - Use a risk-to-reward ratio of at least 1:2. - Trail your stop loss as the trade moves in your favor. Pro-Level Ninja Tactics Ready to go from good to great? Here are some next-level tips: 1. Time Your Trades with Market Sessions The EURUSD pair is most active during the London and New York sessions. Focus your trading during these periods for maximum volatility and opportunities. 2. Avoid Trading Before Major News Events No strategy can save you from the chaos of a surprise interest rate hike. Check the economic calendar (hint: StarseedFX’s Forex News is a lifesaver) and avoid trading during high-impact events. 3. Use Multiple Timeframe Analysis Before executing a trade on the 5-minute chart, check the 1-hour or 4-hour charts for confirmation. Think of it as getting a second opinion before committing. Case Study: Turning Noise into Profit Let’s look at an example. On December 5, 2024, during the London session, the EURUSD pair showed a classic setup: - The 20 EMA crossed above the 50 SMA. - RSI hovered above 50, confirming bullish momentum. - A high-volume zone around 1.0720 acted as support. Entry: 1.0725 | Stop Loss: 1.0705 | Take Profit: 1.0775 Outcome: The trade hit the target within 30 minutes, delivering a clean 2.5% gain. Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them - Overtrading: It’s tempting to take every signal, but quality trumps quantity. Stick to your criteria. - Ignoring Risk Management: Even the best strategy fails without proper risk controls. Always use stop losses. - Chasing the Market: Wait for the setup to come to you. Patience pays off. Turning Insights into Action Mastering the 5-minute EURUSD strategy isn’t about luck; it’s about preparation, discipline, and a little bit of humor to keep things light. Now, go out there and make those charts work for you. —————– Image Credits: Cover image at the top is AI-generated Read the full article

Timeless Wisdom: How Ancient Advice Can Make You a Better Person Today

In a world filled with constant distractions and fleeting trends, it's easy to overlook the value of age-old wisdom. But what if I told you that some ancient advice could help you become a better person and lead a more fulfilling life? Let's dive into some timeless principles that are just as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago.

First up, let's talk about being "sober-minded." No, this doesn't mean you must give up your favorite beer or cocktail (though moderation is always a good idea). Being sober-minded is all about thinking clearly and making wise decisions. It's like having a personal BS detector that helps you navigate life's challenges. Imagine being able to see through fake news, avoid falling for scams, and make choices that you won't regret later. That's the power of a clear mind!

Next on the list is living with dignity. This isn't about walking around with your nose in the air or acting all high and mighty. It's about treating yourself and others with respect. Think about it – people tend to take you more seriously when dignified. It's like having an invisible force field of awesomeness around you. Plus, when you respect others, they're more likely to return the favor. It's a win-win situation that can make your community a much more excellent place to live.

Now, let's talk about self-control—the superhero power you didn't know you needed. Self-control is like having an inner coach who helps you resist that extra slice of pizza or stops you from sending that angry tweet at 2 AM. It's not always easy, but practicing self-control can make you mentally more challenging and help you avoid unnecessary drama.

Faith is another big one. Whether religious or not, having faith in something bigger than yourself can be a game-changer. It's like having a personal cheerleader that keeps you going when times get tough. Faith can give you hope when everything seems hopeless and peace when your world feels chaotic.

Love and understanding are the secret sauce that makes relationships work. It's not just about romantic love – it's about showing kindness and empathy to everyone around you. When you approach people with love and understanding, you're more likely to build strong connections and less likely to end up in pointless arguments. It's like having a superpower that turns potential enemies into friends.

Last but not least, let's talk about patience. In our instant gratification world, patience might seem old-fashioned. But trust me, it's a skill worth developing. Patience is like a mental muscle—the more you use it, the stronger it gets. It helps you stay calm when things don't go your way and gives you the strength to persevere through tough times. Patients often make better decisions because they're not rushing into things.

Here's the cool part: when you start practicing these principles, you become a walking, talking example of awesomeness. People around you will notice, and you might inspire them to become better versions of themselves. It's like starting a chain reaction of positivity!

So, remember that some of the best advice has been around for centuries. Give these timeless principles a try – you might be surprised at how they can transform your life and the lives of those around you.

Dynamic Upselling

By smartly hinting and suggesting, AI-enabled food ordering tantalizes diners into ordering that extra appetizer or splurging on a premium dish, subtly tacking on average ticket sizes with every encounter.

Streamlined Staff Workflow

When staff are not tied down to the order-taking process, they can become much more attentive. This means that as servers provide an unforgettable experience, the chefs in the kitchen can create culinary masterpieces.

Whetting Your Digital Appetite

Couple with Marketing

Build some noise around your AI-enabled food ordering by matching it with a strong marketing plan. Share your news via social media, on your website, and with in-house promotions to get your patrons excited about this new digital dining experience.

Feast on Feedback: Refining the AI Dining Journey

The key to perfecting the AI-enabled food ordering experience lies in the sauces – the sauces of customer feedback. Make diners feel encouraged to share their experiences with the new system and make adjustments to ensure it's the perfect complement to your restaurant ambiance and service style.
