Rational thinking

When we allow the rational mind to analyze too much, to let it think in our behalf, then fear creeps in. And if fear is based in our preconditions, our habitual patterns, our old ways of thinking and is not based in reality, then this fear is unreal. How can someone know reality when his mind is not real? Myriad of evils in the world stem from this rational mind. The rational mind can be very dangerous, and thus the most irrational way of being. To be totally rational it needs a clean and empty person. An absent person. Just our presence in joyous existence... Something to burn the past and to stop the constant worrying of the automatic mind. Its antithesis. The automatic healing machine. Trust. In the real self.

The two faced self one of my most detailed works ever -it's called "the two faced self" I was really inspired while drawing this one - it's one of my personal favorites so far Happy about comments 😊 #magicalartcontest23 #thetwofacedself #sacredmarriage #janus #jachinandboaz #duality #spiritualart #occultknowledge #symbolism #symbolicart #pastandfuture #theself #mushrooms #sacredmushrooms #thetwopillars https://www.instagram.com/p/CpVh96JsgAT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Dragona isn't intersex, just has implants (people are going for the trans angle super fast but it's pretty clear he identifies as a He that likes femme presentation). Also be careful reading there's an early on sexual assault scene. (Also what was the problem with the brief stone ocean scene? Pretty clearly framed the doctor as a pos)

we were given information from scanlators early on that Dragona was intersex, this was the information we were given to work off of

we know Jodio has used masculine terms for Dragona but we also see Dragona using feminine pronouns for theself. and the translators themelves has said their a little confused on the matter and may adjust the pronouns as they work through but for now may just stick to neutral terms. it seems the translations are a bit messy in this department its hard to say for sure what is going on there. Maybe Dragona is just intersex, maybe their not and there was a mistake in that, maybe their trans maybe their intersex and trans i have no idea whats going on there and i have no idea how much you can gather with clarity when reading the chapter, because again i have not read it myself. i have only seen pages shared around in the server im in, im piecing it together second hand.

i think jumping the gun on anything right now might be a bit early, as far as i care Dragona can do whatever they want and have as much gender as they want ig

and yes i have been warned by other on the sexual assault and police brutality present in the first chapter, but it is good to let ppl know about that if they plan to read jojolands

Good morning! This week's rune is Mannaz.

Mannaz is the rune of "mankind". The rune of the person, the self, community, the greater good, rationality and mental development. The December holidays tend to bring with them a more intensive emphasis on family and community, and giving. If you are considering contributing more in some way to a community you are a part of, the next seven days would be a good time. As the beginning of a new year approaches, the next seven days would also be a good time to look at the person you have become during this past year. Consider how you interact with others, how you interact with the divine, what you do when no one seems to be watching.

The "Yes And" Rule | Nerd Fitness

A few years ago, I attended my friend Nick's 40th birthday blowout. As part of the celebration, he took an improv comic, and we all must participate in the study of improv comedy. (I just felt the collective shudder of all the introverts reading this newsletter). We started coming up with fun scenarios and scenes to act out, and we learned about the most important rule of Improv: "Yes and." Two simple words, and the foundation for all improv comedy: Whenever a scene, sentence, or situation comes to mind, the ONLY acceptable response is: "yes and" Yes: Acceptance! I accept and acknowledge that any situation, no matter how crazy, is real. And: build! Just like a tennis match, after your improv partner hits the ball to you, it's your job to return it! Building the situation or scene. For example, if your improv partner says, "I'm a space pirate" your response might be: "Yes, and I'm the space police, you're under arrest!" “Yes, and I'm the first mate looking for a new crew, it's perfect!” "Yes, and my name is Captain Hook, welcome to Pirates Anonymous." The "yes and" rule is so important, because there's nothing worse than a bad improv partner! Like Liam Neeson Thethis short sketchThe with Ricky Gervais, (every time I laugh):

The Yes And Rules for Life

As a former overachieving "gifted child" with a somewhat negative inner critic, I've worked hard to incorporate "yes and" into my life. The "yes" part is built around acceptance, which is something I've spent the last two years working to embrace. See my previous essays on TheAcceptanceThe and TheWabi SaysThe for more. It's the “and” part that I've been focusing on lately. As Dr. Kristen Neff points out in her book TheSelf pityThelife is complicated and so are people: "Judgment defines people as bad versus good and tries to capture their essential nature through simple labels. Discriminating wisdom recognizes complexity and ambiguity." Nothing is as simple as it seems. Things are never as good or as bad as our brain thinks. So despite the voice in our heads that wants to judge everything in black-or-white, yes-or-no, good-or-bad terms... We must remember that life is a beautiful and complex mess. Author F. Scott Fitzgerald once said: The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two conflicting ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function. One must, for example, see that things are hopeless and still be determined to do them otherwise. This is my task for you today. Is there an area of ​​your life that seems black-or-white, and could use a little complexity instead? Nothing is as simple as it seems. Life is hard, and change is hard. AND you are a good person who works hard. It means there is hope. And Thehope is the warrior emotionThe. Also, please watch it TheLiam Neeson skitThe.

Self-checkout Systems Market - Factors Driving Growth Post 2023: Forecast 2030

Self-checkout Systems Industry Overview

The global self-checkout systems market size was valued at USD 3,865.8 million in 2022 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.4% from 2023 to 2030. Self-checkout (SCO) systems are automated systems, which are adopted across grocery stores, retail, and hospitality sectors to aid customers in checkout and self-order without the help of employees. The earlier self-checkout systems included separate, off-the-shelve components and occupied a large storage area.

However, the current self-checkout systems are manufactured and re-engineered as per demand to suit the store structure and offer competitive functionality, reliability, form factors, and costs. The increasing demand for secure and self-payment technologies has resulted in small vendors delivering cashless systems, which are anticipated to boost the self-checkout systems industry growth over the forecast period.

Automation is rapidly becoming the key transformational force across many industries globally. The increased penetration of automation across industries/sectors such as retail and hospitality is likely to drive the adoption of self-checkout systems across store operations and warehouses. Features such as self-scan & pay and self-ordering, while avoiding large queues, contribute to their increased popularity in the self-checkout systems industry. Also, to cope with the declining workforce, the adoption of robotic and automation products has risen notably in the retail sector in recent years.

Gather more insights about the market drivers, restrains and growth of theSelf-checkout Systems Market

Increasing IoT penetration and technological developments in retail premises are the factors that contribute to the growth of the SCO systems industry. Retailers are investing in technology to reduce in-store issues. These issues are often related to product information identification, inventory mapping, customer experience, and payment. For instance, laser motion sensors aid retailers detect if a product is shoplifted or has not been scanned at a self-checkout counter.

Furthermore, the deployment of SCO systems helps customers understand various product features, provides in-store promotional offers and aids consumers to check out rapidly without any intervention from employees. Hence, self-checkout systems serve as an additional touchpoint, providing retailers with improved customer engagement and enhanced shopping experiences.

However, the market growth is anticipated to be restrained by downsides such as a lack of product awareness. The rising instances/incidences of skimming, fraud, and shoplifting are anticipated to pose a challenge to market growth. Reluctance to use self-checkout services among the elderly population is another factor that may impact the industry’s growth.

Senior citizens with mobility issues and conditions such as dementia, hearing, sight, and memory loss require more in-person care. Additionally, limited technology know-how in underdeveloped economies often leads to the avoidance of self-checkout systems across retail outlets.

The manifestation-embodiment of high-love—

Through form, love shows itself—

Love, through form, reaches for the divine

As rose, opens towards light—

Through form, love becomes palpable, to be sensed, felt as sensation of warmth.

The perfume of the Self is this love.

Many have intuited the ‘transcendental form’ of the Goddess, of love, to be the Rose or Lotus, each form-expression, in the great Now (beings past, present and future), a petal, in the whole that is the Rose.

me, myself & i - mhapi2024

For #mentalhealthawarenessmonth to #endthestigma surrounding #mentalhealth - I have released the #mhapi 2024 poetry prompts which focus on #theself - each poem will answer a question. Today regarding #memyselfandi - I ask myself: #amialone

am i alone? How many songs are there – how many quotes can be found – How often do you think we all believe we’re alone in a crowd? If you took every text, email, status, tweet, and post together then made a word web with everything that you type – How much of what you share is focused on: me, myself, and I?

I am not sure if born again is the same as NDE? I think it is similar. It goes from the outside in. Born again goes from the inside out. Really, it must be the same as we are doing both equally at the same time.

The whole idea is to flip our switch to have more awareness of who we are spiritually instead of physically because in God's world, we are spiritual beings first.

Once we establish our connection to Him, our marriage, we can learn to become the partner, the co-creator that He needs. That means clearing all the clutter, the noise, or the karma from the self to create a clearer connection to Him and to others who also have made this connection.

We are all ONE in this simulation together.

He created the darkness and the light to be co-creators together. As we refine the self, our world who is our image also becomes more refined.

We are in the image of Him, who is the whole self. ✨️

Never played MMOs but I seen something similar happen in an FRPG I was into for a while in my teens. Mods decide to ban dragon characters since they thought there were too many of them. Then, instead of just banning those accounts (which they could do, by the way) one of the mods decided the best way to apply the ban is to make a super OP ancient dragon character theself who would go on a killing spree and godmode instakill all the lesser dragons plauging their territory *before* banning the accounts. The affected players weren't thrilled and it all led to a big controversy about if mods are obliged to obey their own rules or not. Based on that, I can see it happen in MMOs too.

I haven't played an MMO in many years, but I was pretty big into The Realm back in the day, and in retrospect it's genuinely hilarious how many eary MMOs just... didn't have moderation tools. Like, the "moderators" were regular players with special beyond-max-level characters who got paid by the developer to wander around enforcing the game's terms of service by physically fighting rule-breakers. There was no mechanism for banning accounts, so if they wanted to get rid of you for good they'd cast a spell that would teleport your character to a "jail" region with no exits, and if you managed to noclip out and return to the regular play area they literally had no way of knowing about it unless a moderator who knew about your ban happened to see you. Just an incredibly dumb way to run an online service.
