[ 𝟎𝟐. ]  ──  *  𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘.  {  i am so much more than they told me i was  }

born in the bustling halls of a british hospital to a duo of doctor dynamos, hattie's infancy was scripted with all the precision of a clinical trial: top grades opening the gates to a stethoscope-laden future. but when her parents traded foggy england for sunny palmview in a bold bid for a fresh start, hattie's story took a swerve into uncharted territories. high school in a new land dished out its share of drama and discovery, complete with a side of culture shock and a sprinkle of teenage rebellion.

while her parents dreamt of their little girl in scrubs, hattie was more at home amidst a cacophony of colors and canvases, her soul stirred by shakespeare rather than by stethoscopes. the very thought of trodding the family's medical path felt like squeezing into a straitjacket one size too small. summoning every bit of her pluck, she dropped the bomb at her graduation: “i can't be a doctor. it's not who i am.”

with diploma in hand and adventure in heart, hattie kissed palmview goodbye and spun the globe. her new classroom: the world. from the cobblestones of europe to the jungles of kenya, each stamp in her passport was a story, every encounter a lesson. she danced under the stars in brazil, taught english in thai hinterlands, and championed cheetahs in conservation efforts. but it was over a steamy cup in a cozy parisian café, chatting with a fellow wanderer, that hattie discovered her true passion: the intricate dance of human connections.

now, as a cultural consultant for dating apps, hattie is the go-to guru for crafting culturally savvy love-finding experiences. she's the bridge between tech brains and beating hearts, helping app wizards weave in the delicate threads of cultural respect and understanding into the digital fabric of romance. her workshops are a hot ticket item for developers eager to pepper their algorithms with empathy and inclusivity.

when not consulting, hattie hosts the hit podcast " date me, maybe " a melting pot of the lovelorn and love-found. think of it as the cool kids' table at the cafeteria of modern romance. from tear-jerker tales to tactical tips for the tinder-tired, her show explores the highs and lows of love in a digital age. each episode, be it through interviews, storytelling, or listener q&as, peels back layers of the heart's mysteries, making hattie not just a guide but a companion on the journey of love.

hattie had come back to palmview because, well, life had a funny way of kicking her in the shins when she least expected it. after years of globe-trotting and dodging the ever-present shadow of "when are you going to settle down?" (as if life were some chair you could just plop down in), her mother’s sudden death had thrown her a curveball. and let’s be real—hattie had never liked the predictable, but this one? it left her with no choice.

palmview had almost become a distant memory in her adult brain, buried somewhere between parisian cafés and kenyan safaris. but the call of home, or maybe more accurately, the weight of it, pulled her back. she wasn’t exactly thrilled about the idea—palmview was a town known for gossip and overzealous pta moms, neither of which was her vibe. but there was something about the place that felt like the only place she could process her grief without everyone expecting her to, well, “get over it” already. palmview had never been the place hattie planned to settle, but sometimes, life called you back to the place where a chapter was still open.

[ 𝟎𝟑. ]  ──  *  𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘.  {  hard & clear about what hurts  }

hattie is like a firework in a world of tea lights—brilliant, attention-grabbing, and occasionally a little too intense. she’s got strong opinions on just about everything, from dating culture to coffee brewing, and she’s as stubborn as a london drizzle. ask her to consider a different view, and you might as well ask her to change the color of the sky. she calls herself a "romantic freelancer," preferring her romantic life in exciting short stories over a predictable novel. this perpetual soloist vibe gives her dating app work an ironic twist; she’s got a knack for helping others find love but seems to duck long-term attachments herself.

her independence is both her superpower and her achilles' heel. she's the type who’ll hop on a plane at the drop of a hat, but that free-spiritedness sometimes isolates her from deeper connections. with her dry humor, hattie makes even serious advice feel like a chat over drinks, but you might notice her deflecting when things get too personal. for hattie, life’s all about guiding others to connection—she just hasn’t quite figured out if her own heart wants to stay on that solo flight or eventually find a co-pilot.

[ 𝟎𝟒. ]  ──  *  𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒.  { i feel like i’m the worst so i always act like i’m the best }

secretly collects random travel mementos—pressed flowers, ticket stubs, weird postcards—stashed in a dusty shoebox she swears she’ll never open again.

spends hours pondering life’s big questions in coffee shops, writing journals full of overanalysed thoughts... but never sharing them. she’ll podcast about it, though.

listens to everyone's feelings but buries her own with busyness and humor. grief? oh, she's definitely not dealing with that... right now.

despite mocking romance novels, hattie reads them like they’re her dirty little secret. she pretends not to care, but deep down, she’s rooting for the whirlwind love affair.

can nap anywhere, anytime. parks, airports, buses—if she sits still for too long, she’s out like a light. it’s a superpower she doesn’t even try to hide.

can pull off the most dramatic fake phone call at a moment’s notice. it’s an art. she’s fended off unwanted dates with, “sorry, gotta take this!” every time.

starts diy projects all the time—crochet, knitting, painting—but the half-done creations sit in boxes, waiting for a day she’ll magically feel inspired to finish them.

she’ll go on rants about the most random topics—like the ethics of pineapple on pizza or how socks always disappear in the laundry—no one can predict it, but it’s always entertaining.

checks the weather app obsessively, but only for places she’s not in. if she’s in palmview, she’s reading about the forecast in tokyo for no good reason.

reads a book for five minutes, then promptly falls asleep on it. she insists it’s her "method of absorbing knowledge," even if it just ends up as a nap.

hattie has a flair for turning mundane moments into dramatic events. a broken shoelace is treated like a tragic accident, and an unexpected rain shower is "a cinematic twist."

[ 𝟎𝟓. ]  ──  *  𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒.  {  i have a heart that bites back  }

𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘏𝘌𝘈𝘙𝘛𝘉𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘒 𝘈𝘙𝘊𝘏𝘐𝘝𝘌𝘚. hattie has had her fair share of passionate but short-lived relationships, many of which ended on bad terms. one ex, in particular, broke her trust, leading to a dramatic fallout. they now avoid each other, but there's still a lingering tension when their paths cross. hattie is too stubborn to admit when she’s wrong, and this ex can’t forgive her refusal to compromise.

𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘖𝘓𝘋 𝘍𝘓𝘈𝘔𝘌. this person holds a special place in hattie’s heart—a love from the past that was intense and formative but ultimately ended for reasons they both understood. they’ve remained in each other’s lives, but their connection is nostalgic. when they see each other, there's a flicker of the old magic, but neither of them is interested in reigniting that relationship. it’s a bittersweet connection that both parties keep around for comfort, reminding them of who they were when they were together.

𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘗𝘙𝘖𝘍𝘌𝘚𝘚𝘐𝘖𝘕𝘈𝘓 𝘙𝘐𝘝𝘈𝘓. this person works in a similar field as hattie and is just as good at what they do. in fact, they might be better. they’re always just a little bit ahead of her in the game, and it drives hattie crazy. whether it’s snagging the same clients or being lauded for innovative ideas, this rival constantly reminds hattie that there’s more to accomplish. she’s competitive by nature and, though she’d never admit it to their face, she’s determined to outdo them—if only to prove to herself that she’s the best.

𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘎𝘜𝘐𝘓𝘛𝘠 𝘗𝘓𝘌𝘈𝘚𝘜𝘙𝘌. this person is hattie’s secret vice. they’re exciting, a little dangerous, and definitely the kind of person her friends would warn her about. but hattie is drawn to them—maybe it’s their mystery or their ability to make her feel alive. every interaction with them is electrifying, but she knows deep down that they’re not long-term material. still, she can’t seem to stay away. it’s the forbidden fruit she can’t resist, but she knows better than to try to make it more than it is.

𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘊𝘖𝘞𝘖𝘙𝘒𝘌𝘙 𝘊𝘙𝘜𝘚𝘏. at work, things are almost professional. there's someone in her consulting firm that has hattie’s attention, but she plays it cool (sometimes). they’re smart, ambitious, and share her sense of humor. she loves their witty exchanges and the way they challenge her ideas, though she’s not sure if they’re flirting or just being friendly. despite the chemistry, hattie keeps it professional—at least, mostly.

𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘍𝘈𝘔𝘐𝘓𝘠 𝘔𝘌𝘔𝘉𝘌𝘙 𝘚𝘏𝘌 𝘊𝘈��’𝘛 𝘓𝘐𝘝𝘌 𝘞𝘐𝘛𝘏. this family member is the one who gets under hattie’s skin the most. whether it’s a step/half-sibling who doesn’t understand her career path or a cousin who’s always questioning her life choices, they push all the wrong buttons. hattie loves them, but that doesn’t stop them from clashing, especially when it comes to her fiercely independent nature. they often make her feel guilty for not being more "traditional," but deep down, hattie knows they just want what’s best for her.

𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘖𝘝𝘌𝘙𝘈𝘊𝘏𝘐𝘌𝘝𝘌𝘙. this person has their life together in a way that hattie secretly finds infuriating—they’re always succeeding, always excelling, and always managing to balance it all. while hattie appreciates their drive and ambition, their near-perfect life serves as a reminder of how much she rebels against the norm. she’ll poke fun at their obsessive need to succeed, but deep down, she knows they’re just doing what she could do if she ever really applied herself. maybe that’s why she’s slightly jealous.

YOUNG COMRADES,

Our country is passing through a chaos. There is mutual distrust and despair prevailing everywhere. The great leaders have lost faith in the cause and most of them no more enjoy the confidence of the masses. There is no programme and no enthusiasm among the ‘champions’ of Indian independence. There is chaos everywhere. But chaos is inevitable and a necessary phase in the course of making of a nation. It is during such critical periods that the sincerity of the workers is tested, their character built, real programme formed, and then, with a new spirit, new, hopes, new faith and enthusiasm, the work is started. Hence there is nothing to be disgusted of.

We are, however, very fortunate to find ourselves on the threshold of a new era. We no more hear the news of reaching chaos that used to be sung vastly in praise of the British bureaucracy. The historic question “Would you be governed by sword or pen”, no more lies unanswered. Those who put that question to us have themselves answered it. In the words of Lord Birkenhead, “With the sword we won India and with the sword we shall retain it.” Thanks to this candour everything is clear now. After remembering Jallianwala and Manawala outrages it looks absurd to quote that “A good government cannot be a substitute for self-government.” It is self-evident.

A word about the blessings of the British rule in India. Is it necessary to quote the whole volumes of Romesh Chandra Dutt, William Digby and Dadabhai Naoroji in evidence to prove the decline and ruin of Indian industries? Does if require any authorities to prove that India, with the richest soil and mine, is today one of the poorest, that India which could be proud of so glorious a civilisations, is today the most backward country with only 5% literacy? Do not the people know that India has to pay the largest toll of human life with the highest child death rate in the world? The epidemics like plague, cholera, influenza and such other diseases are becoming common day by day. Is it not disgraceful for us to hear again and again that we are not fit for self-government? Is it not really degrading for us, with Guru Govind Singh, Shivaji and Hari Singh as our heroes; to be told that we are incapable of defending ourselves? Alas, we have done little to prove the contrary. Did we not see our trade and commerce being crushed in its very infancy in the first effort of Guru Nanak steamship co-started by Baba Gurdit Singh in 1914; the inhuman treatment meted out to them, far away in Canada, on the way and finally, the bloody reception of those despairing, broken-hearted passengers with valleys of shots at Bajbaj, and what not? Did we not see all this? In India, where for the honour of one Dropadi, the great Mahabharat was fought, dozens of them were ravaged in 1919. They were spit at, in their naked faces. Did we not see all this? Yet, we are content with the existing order of affairs. Is this life worth living?

Does it require any revelation any revelation now to make us realise that we are enslaved and must be free? Shall we wait for an uncertain sage to make us feel that we are an oppressed people? Shall we expectantly wait for divine help or some miracle to deliver us from bondage? Do we not know the fundamental principles of liberty? “Those who want to be free, must themselves strike the blow.” Young men, awake, arise; we have slept too long!

We have appealed to the young only. Because the young bear the most inhuman tortures smilingly and face death without hesitation. Because the young bear the most inhuman tortures smilingly and face death without hesitation. Because the whole history of human progress is written with the blood of young men and young women. And because the reforms are ever made by the vigour, courage, self-sacrifice and emotional conviction of the young men who do not know enough to be afraid and who feel much more than they think.

Were it not the young men of Japan who come forth in hundreds to throw themselves in the ditches to make a dry path to Port Arthur? And Japan is today one of the foremost nations in the world. Were it not the young Polish people who fought again and again and failed, but fought again heroically throughout the last century? And today we see a free Poland. Who freed Italy from the Austrian yoke? Young Italy.

Do you know the wonders worked by the Young Turks? Do you not daily read what the young Chinese are doing? Were it not the young Russians who scarified their lives for Russians emancipation? Throughout the last century hundreds and thousands of them were exiled to Siberia for the mere distribution of socialist pamphlets or, like Dostoyevsky, for merely belonging to socialist debating society. Again and again they faced the storm of oppression. But they did not lose the courage. It were they, the young only, who fought. And everywhere the young can fight without hope, without fear and without hesitation. And we find today in the great Russia, the emancipation of the world.

While, we Indians, what are we doing? A branch of peepal tree is cut and religious feelings of the Hindus are injured. A corner of a paper idol, tazia, of the idol-breaker Mohammedans is broken, and ‘Allah’ gets enraged, who cannot be satisfied with anything less than the blood of the infidel Hindus. Man ought to be attached more importance that the animals and, yet, here in India, they break each other’s heads in the name of ‘sacred animals’. Our vision is circumscribed by…. * thinks in terms of internationalism.

There are many others among us who hide their lethargy under the garb of internationalism. Asked to serve their country they reply: “Oh Sirs, we are cosmopolitans and believe in universal brotherhood. Let us not quarrel with the British. They are our brothers.” A good idea, a beautiful phrase. But they miss its implication. The doctrine of universal brotherhood demands that the exploitation of man by man and nation be nation must be rendered impossible. Equal opportunity to all without any sort of distinction. But British rule in India is a direct negation of all these, and we shall have nothing to do with it.

A world about social servicre here. Many good men think that social service (in the narrow sense, as it is used and under stood in our country) is the panacea to all our ills and the best method of serving the country. Thus we find many ardent youth contending themselves with distributing grain among the poor and nursing the sicks all their life. These men are noble and self-denying but they cannot understand that charity cannot solve the problem of hunger and disease in India and, for that matter, in any other country.

Religious superstitions and bigotry are a great hinderance in our progress. They have proved an obstacle in our way and we must do away with them. “The thing that cannot bear free thought must perish.” There are many other such weakness which we are to overcome. The conservativeness and orthodoxy of the Hindus, extra-territorialism and fanaticism of the Mohammedans and narrow-mindedness of all the communities in general are always exploited by the foreign enemy. Young men with revolutionary zeal from all communities are required for the task.

Having achieved nothing, we are not prepared to sacrifice anything for any achievement; our leaders are fighting amongst themselves to decide what will be the share of each community in the hoped achievement. Simply to conceal their cowardice and lack of spirit of self-sacrifice, they are creating a false issue and screening the real one. These arm-chair politicians have their eyes set on the handful of bones that may be thrown to them, as they hope, by the mighty rulers. That is extremely humiliating. Those who come forth to fight the battle of liberty cannot sit and decide first that after so much sacrifices, so much achievement must be sure and so much share to be divided. Such people never make any sort of sacrifice. We want people who may be prepared to fight without hope, without fear and without hesitation, and who may be willing to die unhonoured, unwept and unsung. Without that spirit we will not be able to fight the great two-fold battle that lies before us – two-fold because of the internal foe, on the one hand, and a foreign enemy, on the other. Our real battle is against our own disabilities which are exploited by the enemy and some of our own people for their selfish motives.

Young Punjabis, the youth of other provinces are working tremendously in their respective spheres. The organisation and awakening displayed by young Bengal on February 3, should serve as an example to us. Our Punjab, despite the greatest amount of sacrifice and suffering to its credit, is discribed as a politically backward province. Why? Because, although it belong to the martial race, we are lacking in organisation and discipline; we who are proud of the ancient University of Texila, today stand badly in need of culture. And a culture requires fine literature which cannot be prepared without a common and well developed language. Alas, we have got none.

While trying to solve the above problem that faces our country, we will also have to prepare the masses to fight the greater battle that lies before us. Our political struggle ‘began just after the great War of Independence of 1857. It has passed through different phases. Along with the advent of the 20th century the British bureaucracy has adopted quite a new policy towards India. They are drawing our bourgeoisie and petty bourgeoisie into their fold by adopting the policy of concessions. Their cause is being made common. The progressive investment of British capital in India will inevitably lead to that end. In the very near future we will find that class and their great leaders having thrown their lot with the foreign rulers. Some round-table conference or any such body will end in a compromise between the two. They will no more be lions and cubs. Even without any conciliation the expected Great War of the entire people will surely thin the ranks of the so-called champions of India independence.

The future programme of preparing the country will begin with the motto: “Revolution by the masses and for the masses.” In other words, Swaraj for the 90%; Swaraj not only attained by the masses but also for the masses. This is a very difficult task. Thought our leaders have offered many suggestion, none had the courage to put forward and carry out successfully and concrete scheme of awakening the masses. Without going into details, we can safely assert that to achieve our object, thousands of our most brilliant young men, like Russian youth, will have to pass their precious lives in village and make the people understand what the Indian revolution would really mean. They must be made to realise that the revolution which is to come will mean more than a change of masters. It will, above all, mean the birth of new order of things, a new state. This is not the work of a day or a year. Decades of matchless self-sacrifice will prepare the masses for the accomplishment of that great work and only the revolutionary young men will be able to do that. A revolutionary does not necessarily mean a man of bombs and revolvers.

The task before the young is hard and their resources are scanty. A great many obstacles are likely to block their way. But the earnestness of the few but sincere can overcome them all. The young must come forth. They must see the hard and difficult path that lies before them, the great tasks they have to perform. They must remember in the heart of hearts that “success is but a chance; sacrifice a law”. Their lives might be the lives of constant failures, even more wretched than those which Guru Govind Singh had to face throughout his life. Even then they must not repent and say, “Oh, it was all an illusion.”

Young men, do not get disheartened when you find such a great battle to fight single-handed, with none to help you. You must realise your own latent strength. Rely on yourselves and success is yours. Remember the words of the great mother of James Garfield which she spoke to her son while sending him away, penniless, helpless and resourceless, to seek his fortune: “Nine times out of ten the best thing that can happen to a young man is to be thrown overboard to swim or sink for himself.” Glory to the mother who said these words and glory to those who will rely on them.

Mazzini, that oracle of Italian regeneration, once said: “All great national movements begin with unknown men of the people without influence, except for the faith and the will that counts neither time nor difficulties.” Let the boat of life weigh another time. Let it set sail in the Great Ocean, and then:

Anchor is in no stagnant shallow. Trust the wide and wonderous sea, Where the tides are fresh for ever, And the mighty currents free. There perchance, O young Columbus, Your new world of truth may be.

Do not hesitate, let not the theory of incarnation haunt your mind and break your courage. Everybody can become great if he strives. Do not forget your own martyrs. Kartar Singh was a young man. Yet, in this teens, when he came forth to serve his country, he ascended the scaffold smiling and echoing “Bande Mataram”. Bhai Balmukund and Awadh Bihari were both quite young when they gave their lives for the cause. They were from amongst you. You must try to become as sincere patriots and as ardent lovers of liberty as they were. Do not lose patience and sense at one time, and hope at another. Try to make stability and determination a second nature to yourselves.

Let then young men think independently, calmly, serenely and patiently. Let them adopt the cause of Indian independence as the sole aim of their lives. Let them stand on their own feet. They must organise themselves free from any influence and refuse to be exploited any more by the hypocrites and insincere people who have nothing in common with them and who always desert the cause at the critical juncture. In all seriousness and sincerity, let them make the triple motto of “service, suffering, sacrifice” their sole guide. Let them remember that “the making of a nation requires self-sacrifice of thousands of obscure men and women who care more for the idea of their country than for their own comfort and interest, than own lives and the lives of those who they love”.

You know, one time I did a challenge playthrough in Pokémon Sun and Moon. I continue to try again time and again.

The challenge?

Bounty Hunter challenge.

Basically, how it works is that there are some npcs scattered around the game that will give you money if you show them a Pokémon they request you catch.

And let me tell you, the end game of this team is a team you wouldn’t expect a player to be having.

So firstly, ditch that starter you get. That Rowlet you got? Punt that orb into orbit. That Litten you’re wanting to see turn bipedal? Throw it into the sea. No one is gonna choose Popplio (except me and some other people) so just leave that there. And then wait until you can get to the Pokémon center in the Hau’oli City.

That’s right. If you’re attempting to do this challenge, if you’re playing Sun and Moon, you have to first:

Arrive at Alola

Get your hat and read stuff

Meet Professor Kukui

Follow him up to Iki Town

Save Nebby

Get your starter

Defeat Hau

Do the Pokémon ceremony where you defeat Hau again

Go to Professor Kukui’s lab

Get the Rotom Dex

Go through the Pokémon Trainer School

Get the EXP Share (that you can’t turn off, haha, get mad at a game helping it’s targeted audience, a.k.a. Little Timmy over there, progress in the game)

Arrive at Hau’oli City

Use the photo picture that most players blatantly ignore

And arrive at the Hau’oli City Pokemon Center

Oh but that’s not all. Because you will get to talk to the npc to trigger the request of catching a Drifloon (SM) or Abra (USUM) but you will need to:

Meet up with Captain Ilima

Beat up Team Skull

Battle Captain Ilima

And then make your way to catching your Pokémon

Now that you’re fully ready for this Bounty Hunter Challenge, you would already realize that it took you maybe 1.5 hours to start this challenge. And let me tell you, this won’t probably be worth the time to play the games normally.

I say this because if you do this challenge, you literally have 9 Pokémon you can use. Depending on whether you have the base games or ultra, you will either get a team consisting of, in order:

Child Murderer turned blimp or Mr(s). Teleports away (Can’t even get final evolution without trading

An actual fairy or a crab that has a “why” evolution

Don’t be giving this dog a bath or a gem eating gremlin

Sea Landmine or Sexy Lizard

A Weak Fish you can’t evolve if you don’t trade or a piece of coral

A bear to not hug and a slime dragon to give a hug

An ape that’s either a rugby player or lifestyle guru or a bird that’s either a totem pole or just an owl (depending on where you have (ultra) sun or (ultra moon) moon)

The Pikachu clone in the eyes of game freak or a literal asteroid

The actual Pikachu clone the fans deem as one or the Pokémon bane of the Sinnoh Champion

Oh and the Legendary Pokémon you get at the end of the game? Necrozma. Lunala. Solgaleo. Nebby basically. Yeah just boot them into the pc box. Sorry Lillie. I would like to bring Nebby onto my champion team but unfortunately capitalism says otherwise.

So yeah. If you wanna do this challenge to take the vast amount of cool and interesting Pokémon and slim it down to a simple 9 then do this challenge. You’ll make a great profit of 69,000 pokedollars. Real glad you decided to pick your team based of capitalism

tl;dr: Use these nine Pokémon in your Pokémon (Ultra) Sun and Moon playthrough and gain a profit of 69,000 Pokedollars

Jessup: At least your Mentor was rich and loaded. Mine just gave me these candy looking pills.

Mizzen: Can I have one?

Jessup: Get your own Mentor, 4.

Lucy Gray: Pablo, do you have some makeup?

Panlo: It’s Panlo! Panlo like the f*ckin’ bread, Baird!

Lucy Gray: So where’s the makeup?

Panlo: WTH, Baird! Do I look like a freaking makeup guru to you?!

Lucy Gray: I just wanted to look good on TV~.🥺

Peacekeeper: *walks in* Everybody, get in the truck! We’re going to school!

Tanner: Finally! You have no idea how annoying these people were last night!

Peacekeeper: Any final words before we leave?

Lucy Gray: *raises hand* Does anybody have hair curlers?!

Reaper: Can somebody give me a sign?!

Mizzen: Where’s my breakfast?!

Brandy: Feed me chicken!!

Tanner: Chop, chop, hurry up! I don’t give a fu-

Jessup: Can we cook the wild raccoons?

Lucy Gray: No! We can’t cook the rabid raccoons, Jessie-

Jessup: It’s Jessup.

Lucy Gray: Those creatures are sacred to the Capitol’s people!

Jessup: Since when are wild raccoons sacred?!

Lucy Gray: Since the dawn of time, you uncultured swine!

Peacekeeper: The singing rainbow bird’s right. Those rabid raccoons are very sacred to us.

Panlo: Capitol people are weird.

Peacekeeper: Can’t argue with that.

Coral: Can I ride at the front?

Marcus: Can we trade our Mentors? I’m really allergic to mine.

Reaper: Somebody give me a sign!

Dill: I can’t believe Reaper is going crazy right in front of my stale bread.😔

Facet: That’s rough, buddy.

Wovey: Will there be more cookies at school?

Coral: Evil cookies, Wovey. Evil Capitol cookies.

Mizzen: I’m still going to eat them no matter what you say, Coral.

Reaper: Panem, you better give me the normal looking Mentor! Not the one you cursed Marcus with!

Lucy Gray: I need makeup! I need hair curlers! Somebody throw me their eyeliner!

Panlo: Shut the f*ck up, Baird!!

Lucy Gray: Never!!

Dill: *sighs* Here we go again.

Peacekeeper: Yup. I better have a f*ckin’ promotion after this.

'Spiritual’ Red Flags to watch out for (AND THEIR MEANINGS):

1: To 'hold space' for someone = To sit and stare at someone with emotional issues for an uncomfortable amount of time, then pat yourself on the back for basically doing nothing while your homie has a breakdown.

2: I'm in transition = I'm unemployed and totally fucking lost, so I have created an identity out of being an opportunist. Maybe you have some trim work for me or food? Or a trade? I do crystal readings!

3: I'm processing a lot of downloads from the Universe = I smoked too much DMT and can’t afford therapy. By pretending that my fragile brain is a sacred record keeper, I receive validation for speaking gibberish.

4: I'm a lightworker/empath = I am depressed and unstable and take zero responsibility for my own self-destructive tendencies, and need to focus on condescending your dark shit to avoid my own. (PS: I'll diagnose you as a narcissist)

5: I am a Reiki Master= I crave human contact, And this makes me feel less insecure than Tinder. I can cross personal physical boundaries with ease if I so choose, depending on what my client looks like, or I can think about random things while getting paid handsomely to hold my hands awkwardly over someone’s body.

6: You have an amazing Aura = I would love to bang you.

7: I am writing a travel blog = I don't want to go home, I no longer fit in: I never have. I don't know where I will end up, but I’d like to get paid to figure it out.

8: I'm not looking for a relationship/ only deep soul connections = I have commitment issues and fear of intimacy so I collect partners with compatible insecurities. I understand you will head off to Thailand soon anyways. “Bread-crumbing my love keeps me safe” is my mantra, while I dip my dick like a candlestick in every Shanti ratchet priestess in town.

9: 'Inner Goddess Within' workshops = An understanding of daddy Issues and a way to overdevelop the masculine side to protect the little girl within. Helping participants to surrender to the bias that all men are shit ( all of this for a nominal fee). The level 2 masterclass will teach you how to galactivate your man’s scrotum chakra enough to make him forget that you pay for bullshit workshops with his harvest money.

10: A guru = Someone who has overstepped the threshold of self-development into supreme egotism and found a niche market. Carries a flute and has a name you can't pronounce (though his driver's license says Steve) and chants words he doesn’t understand. But interesting tattoos...right?

11. A shaman = see above.

12: Worshipping the Beloved = Classic scenario where a cluster B personality type convinces you at a festival that you are their twin flame, lost for centuries in the ether. If you have never been loved by your primary caregivers, this is paradise on earth as your fear of abandonment gets spanked with a mala on the magical, mystery tour of self-deception.

13: In the flow = I never commit to anything, especially plans to do anything with anyone, so that I can completely flake out and not take any responsibility for it; ie I didn’t pay my phone bill this month.

14: Co-creating a retreat/gathering = my borderline personality friends and I have exhausted all other means of making an honest income, and have decided instead to use our social media clout (aka naked buttcheeks) to radically overcharge a too-large group of saps for 2-14 days of mediocre vegan food, awkward group encounters, and real-world-style sexual politics.

15; Substance Free Event = Powder drugs are fine but if you bring alcohol, we’ll judge the shit out of you. Tobacco’s cool if you snort it and call it "ceremony" or roll your own.

16: Speaking My Truth = I reserve the right to be an asshole in this conversation and you must honour it, regardless of how deep my delusion may be. I’ll probably use this phrase every time I don’t want to be called out for my phone bullshit, because it’s all perspective man...

I think PP would post the ss number and credit card info of anyone she was dating if that’s what it took for her to get attention. She talks up privacy but genuinely has never demonstrated she knows what that means. She acts like her followers are a personal support group and like any and all medical issues (real or imagined) exist to be traded in for social media points. Oversharing is part of her mental illness and she will never deal with it since her fans, her guru life coaches, and tabloid media all eat that shit up and reward her for it. Gross and sad for kids who see her as a role model. Anyway, happy valentine’s day Z!

Agreed. Even weirder? It's oversharing a largely fake facade/persona, anyway....no idea why being inappropriate alternating with mopey (and not doing real work on that) is to lauded, anyway....

re-vamped by Ree tagging: all (for funsies!)

NAME: Volke

BODY

height: 187cm (6/2ish)

strength ★★★★☆ ( 3 1/2 ; built solid so he's lucky ; boon for hefty contracts ; the Daein lifestyle of needing to be able to throw a solid punch)

dexterity ★★★★★ (he cannot be caught. ninja. only reason he's still kicking is by slipping the noose)

health ★★☆☆☆ (lackluster despite his demeanor - that Daein lifestyle of starving. did not help him grow with good health, but he manages)

energy ★★★☆☆ (health affects it, so weighed down by lackluster health ; training has significantly improved his energy levels ; busybody)

beauty ★★☆☆☆ (would consider himself average, but doesn't focus too much on cosmetics)

style ★★☆☆☆ (not a fashion guru. never claimed to be. won't be. practical over pompous.)

hygiene ★★☆☆☆ (is too used to going a hot minute without a nice cleanse so it's unfortunately habitual. is much better about it & trying to appear as professional as needed in his line of work)

SKILLS

perception ★★★★★ (he's nosy. he knows everything about you. works in intelligence - needs to be perceptive. literally puts his food on his plate)

communication ★☆☆☆☆ (awful. loner, not great with people. can communicate if need be but prefers to keep chit-chat short)

persuasion ★☆☆☆☆ (not-well liked or charismatic, so probably not the first person that will be listened to. also doesn't care too much about swaying someone. it's not his problem)

mediation ★☆☆☆☆ (might just sling two people who are quarreling into a wall and slink off. or might just slink off. never pays enough to get caught in the crossfire.)

literacy ★★☆☆☆ (Daein-lifestyle. he can read and write, but gets curt when people use fancy language because it's not his forte. below avg.)

cooking ★★☆☆☆ (can get by. only seasons with salt and pepper.)

tech savvy ★★★★☆ (nifty at figuring things out. typically catches on because he's observant)

combat ★★★★☆ (has to fight to land some jobs and keep going. has done it his entire life. it's like breathing.)

confidence ★★★☆☆ (avg ; self-esteem? all he feels is the weight of gold in his pocket, not the pressure/opinions of others)

humor ★★☆☆☆ (dry and deadpan like a desert. scoffs a lot - it's his laugh)

anxiety ★☆☆☆☆ (could not give any fewer fucks. might feel a tingle when he needs a job done quickly but probably won't)

BELIEFS

higher power ★★☆☆☆ (was with Ike's party when shenanigans went down, but isn't really spiritual)

fate/destiny ★★★☆☆ (not that poetic, but definitely feels like he's just existing so he could clock out one day and be alright calling it fate)

PRIORITIES

family ☆☆☆☆☆ (what family?)

friends ★☆☆☆☆ (they're clients. contracts. people that will pay him and then he'll move on.)

love ☆☆☆☆☆ (never really learned about it. never really had it. doesn't really acknowledge that it's a thing.)

home ☆☆☆☆☆ (home as in family? no. doesn't have that. doesn't know if he wants it, but certainly doesn't have it)

health ★★☆☆☆ (Daein-lifestyle. grew up lacking in it but worked himself out to a good constitution when he grew older. can start to slack on it if he's busy)

praise ☆☆☆☆☆ (please don't praise him. he's never been exposed to that sort of goodness, and it makes him awkward/uncomfortable)

justice ★★☆☆☆ (can differentiate great good from terrible evil, but it's largely gray to him. he gets paid either way)

truth ★☆☆☆☆ (he doesn't prioritize truth bc at the end of the day he can be honest or lie - whichever puts gold in his pocket)

power ★★★☆☆ (he doesn't think he needs many assets of power. considers himself content with what he has - it's gotten him this far. could always be improved, sure)

fame ★★★☆☆ (getting his name around gets business, but doesn't like an audience)

wealth ★★★★☆ (big priority because he grew up lacking it and longed for it so it's his way of satisfying everything that he's lacking but he simultaneously doesn't spend it because of that dread of being penniless again)

others' opinions ★★☆☆☆ (only cares because if word on the street of him is bad? no business. and that's not good.)

The Adaptive Magic of Parabolic SAR: Why Most Traders Miss the Hidden Signals The Adaptive Magic of Parabolic SAR: Why Most Traders Miss the Hidden Signals Imagine standing at a crossroads, where one path looks like the typical beaten trail every trader has trodden, and the other? An overgrown, mysterious shortcut that promises rare treasures—that’s what understanding Parabolic SAR with adaptive algorithms can feel like. A hidden gem among trading strategies, it’s the difference between following the crowd and mastering the trends others overlook. But don’t just take my word for it, let’s dig into the trade secrets that most gurus would rather keep to themselves. Why Parabolic SAR Alone is Like Using a Spoon to Cut Steak Let’s be honest here, relying solely on Parabolic SAR is like trying to cut a steak with a spoon—you’re in for a frustrating time, and you’ll probably end up with a mess. The Parabolic SAR (Stop and Reverse) indicator was developed to help traders detect reversals in the market, but many folks get it wrong because they use it in isolation. I mean, that’s like buying a guitar, strumming a few strings, and expecting to play like Hendrix. Instead, think of Parabolic SAR as a part of a greater ensemble—combine it with adaptive algorithms, and suddenly you’re a rockstar in the Forex world. These algorithms, with their capacity to adjust to market volatility, ensure that your trades hit the sweet spot every time. Adaptive algorithms provide the dynamic feedback that the market needs—like a partner who tells you when you’re about to dance offbeat. So, if you don’t want to be that trader who "kinda, sorta" gets the reversal right, it's time to adapt. The Secret Sauce: Parabolic SAR, Adaptive Algorithms, and Ninja Moves Here’s where the real magic happens: combining Parabolic SAR with adaptive algorithms for precision trading. Many traders miss the signals that truly matter, and that's often because they're focusing too much on static indicators in a dynamic environment. Adaptive algorithms help adjust those expectations, allowing you to time entries and exits almost like a market clairvoyant—almost. Remember that time you bought a pair of shoes that were on sale, only to have them collecting dust a month later? The same thing happens when traders place “discounted trades”—they look good, but without understanding the true value of the signal, they fall flat. Adaptive SAR is your very own fashion consultant, whispering in your ear which trades to pick and which to leave behind. Hidden Opportunities Most Traders Miss (Don’t Be "Most Traders") Most traders only consider the dot placements in Parabolic SAR without taking volatility into account. In simple terms, it’s like looking at the ingredients without knowing the recipe. Using adaptive models helps you adjust your strategy based on the market’s shifting personality—yes, the market’s got a personality, and it’s moodier than your high school crush. When you use Parabolic SAR adaptively, you’re essentially preparing for both rain and sunshine—you’re ready for whatever the market throws at you. Adaptive algorithms adjust the sensitivity of SAR points, making it possible to stay in winning trades longer while avoiding being whipsawed out of good positions. Think of it like adjusting your umbrella size based on the storm—smart, right? Emerging Trends: How AI Has Given Parabolic SAR a New Face Adaptive algorithms have been propelled by recent advancements in AI and machine learning. According to a study by the Bank for International Settlements, algorithmic trading now accounts for more than 70% of all trading volume—it's time we take note and adapt ourselves. The marriage between Parabolic SAR and AI-driven adaptivity isn’t just a geeky experiment—it's practical and game-changing. It allows you to optimize your parameters in real time, adjusting to trends in a way that leaves the non-AI folks just scratching their heads. And hey, do you ever wonder why some traders always seem to be just a step ahead? Like the guy at the party who knew all the jokes before the comedian even opened his mouth? Well, it's because they’re using these adaptive tools, letting the algorithms adjust and do the heavy lifting—no more playing a guessing game or staring at your charts like they’re going to reveal the secrets of the universe. Case Study: How One Trader Nailed It with Adaptive SAR Meet Sarah, an ambitious trader who’d had her share of ups and downs. The biggest breakthrough for Sarah came when she stopped treating Parabolic SAR like her lucky charm and instead made it a piece of her adaptive algorithm arsenal. The game-changer? Sarah adjusted the sensitivity of her SAR according to market volatility, which led her to capture twice as many positive trades over a 6-month period. According to Sarah, using adaptive SAR was "like trading with an upgraded GPS—I knew exactly when to recalibrate." Sarah’s experience, backed by her results, showcases just how valuable this approach is. Pro Tips to Level-Up Your Parabolic SAR Game So, how do you integrate these tactics into your trading? Here’s your no-nonsense guide to start owning the market: - Pair It With Volatility Indicators: Don’t let Parabolic SAR work alone—add a volatility indicator, like ATR (Average True Range), to adjust SAR parameters. It’s like having a dance partner who can actually keep up with you. - Use Smaller Time Frames for Adaptivity: If you want to get granular, deploy the adaptive SAR on a smaller time frame to catch quick reversals and breakouts. Think of this as your "night vision goggles" for those unpredictable market moves. - Modify the AF (Acceleration Factor) Dynamically: Adjust the SAR’s AF depending on recent market volatility—this makes sure your SAR moves faster in a strong trend and slower during consolidation. - Regular Backtesting: Adaptive SAR demands constant testing. As markets evolve, so should your parameters. Be the person who tests the water before diving in—not the one doing a belly flop. - Think Like a Machine, Trade Like a Human: Automation tools, like the StarseedFX smart trading tool, help you maintain discipline without letting emotions sway your decisions. Machines don’t get revenge trades—neither should you. Wrapping Up: Adapt, Thrive, and Get Ahead In the wild world of Forex, the traders who thrive are those who adapt—that’s the simple truth. Static strategies and fixed parameters are as outdated as dial-up internet. Adaptive algorithms breathe new life into old indicators, and with Parabolic SAR, this marriage of old and new gives you a serious edge. So, don’t be just another trader checking dots—be the one setting trends. Got questions? Leave them in the comments, or better yet, head over to our StarseedFX Community to share your experience and learn directly from others who are already leveling up with adaptive Parabolic SAR. Remember, adapt, trade smarter, and watch your trading transform from guesswork to precision. —————– Image Credits: Cover image at the top is AI-generated Read the full article

Heres the REAL reason trading gurus sell courses

Here’s the REAL reason “trading gurus” sell courses… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuF69iAhKx4 via TheRealTraderTrainer https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMZjkOXOmG7MuVVJUQWRh3w November 18, 2024 at 03:02AM

How much money do you need to start Forex trading?

Getting into Forex trading? Awesome! You don’t need a huge pile of cash to start, but knowing how to manage that cash is the real game-changer. Forex is this massive $4 trillion-per-day marketplace, and yes, you’ll see plenty of gurus flashing their wealth online. But here’s the reality: making money in Forex is more about smart moves and less about quick wins. 

So, let’s break it down:

1. Money Management is Your Best Friend

Rule #1: Manage your money like a pro. Start by risking only 2% of your trading account per trade. Got $500? You’re risking just $10 on each trade. Keeps you calm and keeps your account alive.

2. Don’t Go Overboard (aka Overcapitalization)

Some people throw everything they’ve got into trading, hoping to live off wild returns. Think “Quit my job, live on 30% monthly gains!” But Forex isn’t the lottery. Start with what you can lose without sweating, and keep the Ferrari dreams on hold.

3. Undercapitalization – Don’t Go In Unarmed

Starting with the bare minimum, like $1 or $25, is like showing up on a battlefield with no armor. Sure, you can technically open an account with just $100, but you’ll be skating on thin ice. A safer start? Aim for at least $300 to trade 0.01 lot sizes without maxing out.

4. Think Risk-to-Reward Like a Pro

This one’s golden: every time you risk a dollar, aim to make three back (a 1:3 risk-to-reward ratio). That way, you’re not just gambling—you’re strategizing. Every loss doesn’t knock you down, and every win boosts you up. It’s all about balancing the scales.

5. Focus on Quality Setups

With micro-lots, be choosy. Target trades that have clear support and resistance, and look for patterns like flags and pennants that give you a solid target and defined stop loss.

Forex is a journey, not a shortcut. Start smart, trade safe, and let your skills (not dreams of quick millions) drive your success. With patience and practice, you’re setting yourself up for the real rewards.

Read this: A Dialogue Between Elon Musk and Alyssa Milano: 80s Nostalgia and a Year Apart From Sitcoms to Space: A Nostalgic Chat Between Elon Musk and Alyssa Milano

Alyssa Milano's Instagram handle is @milano_alyssa.

Elon Musk's Twitter (now called X) handle is @elonmusk.

[Scene: A cozy coffee shop in Los Angeles. Elon Musk and Alyssa Milano are sitting at a small table, sipping on their drinks, laughing as they reminisce.]

Elon: You know, Alyssa, it’s wild to think we’re almost the same age. I mean, I’m technically older — born June 28, 1971 — just saying.

Alyssa: Oh, just saying, huh? (laughs) So you’re like, what, a year older? That makes you all wise and experienced, right?

Elon: Absolutely! (grinning) I mean, in a cosmic sense, one year makes all the difference. I was already out there discovering space… or well, playing with Legos and dreaming about space. But in the meantime, you were busy becoming America’s sweetheart on “Who’s the Boss.” I basically grew up watching you!

Alyssa: Stop it! You were watching me on TV? That’s crazy. (playfully) You sure you weren’t just glued to your science projects or building rockets in the garage?

Elon: Oh, I was building rockets, but I had time for TV. Trust me. “Who’s the Boss” was a big deal! You were the coolest! I still remember watching you on that show—every kid had a crush on Alyssa Milano.

Alyssa: Aw, that's sweet! And to think, I had no idea little Elon Musk was watching me while planning his intergalactic domination. (smiling) Did you ever think, back then, you'd be sending rockets to Mars?

Elon: Not really! I mean, I thought Mars was cool, but back then, I was more concerned about catching the latest episodes of “Who’s the Boss” and Arnold Schwarzenegger movies. I totally remember you in “Commando.” I watched that movie way too many times. You were so great in it! I still quote it sometimes.

Alyssa: (raises an eyebrow) Oh really? Do you bust out the quotes in the middle of a Tesla board meeting? Like, “Remember when I said I’d kill you last? I lied.”

Elon: (Laughs) Exactly! I mean, it does help to keep people on their toes. But seriously, you were a huge part of my pop culture upbringing. You’re like, an icon of the ‘80s for me.

Alyssa: Aww, well now I feel like I should be honored that future-space-guru Elon Musk was tuning in! Who knew the guy revolutionizing electric cars and launching rockets would be reminiscing about my sitcom days?

Elon: Right? I might’ve been tinkering with electronics, but you were the real boss! (smirks) You could say I learned some leadership lessons from watching you.

Alyssa: (laughing) Oh yeah, I’ll bet. You should send me royalties if you’re using any “Who's the Boss?” management techniques at SpaceX.

Elon: Deal! But in all seriousness, you were awesome, and it’s funny how our paths crossed like this now. Both of us grew up in such different ways, but here we are!

Alyssa: Totally! It’s like, while I was navigating sitcoms, you were out there shaping the future. But we’re still kids of the ‘80s at heart, right?

Elon: Absolutely. Once a kid of the ‘80s, always a kid of the ‘80s. (grinning) I just traded in my Walkman for rockets.

Alyssa: (laughing) And I’m still stuck with my Aqua Net hairspray collection! So, it all balances out.

Elon: (Laughs) Classic!

The End.

Fun Fact: Aqua Net is a popular brand of hairspray that became especially well-known in the 1980s. It was famous for its strong hold and was a staple for many hairstyles of that era, particularly big hair, which was characterized by voluminous and teased styles. The reference to an "Aqua Net hairspray collection" is a lighthearted nod to the iconic beauty products that defined the hair trends of the time, often associated with glam and bold fashion choices. In the context of the dialogue, it's a fun way for Alyssa to acknowledge the 80s aesthetics she grew up with, contrasting with Elon's futuristic pursuits.

P.S.:

Synopsis of the Dialogue Between Elon Musk and Alyssa Milano:

In this lighthearted and fun dialogue, tech innovator Elon Musk and actress Alyssa Milano reminisce about their childhoods and how they are just a year apart in age. Elon, born on June 28, 1971, shares fond memories of growing up watching Alyssa's TV show Who's the Boss and her role in Commando. They joke about how their paths diverged—Elon was busy dreaming of space and building rockets, while Alyssa was becoming an iconic '80s star. The conversation is filled with playful banter as they reflect on their different yet interconnected experiences as kids of the 1980s.

Common Challenges in Building Wealth Online

The potential for building wealth through online ventures is vast, but the journey is often filled with challenges that can prevent many from reaching their full potential. Let’s take a look at some of the most common problems people face when trying to build multiple income streams online.

1. Confusion Over Where to Start

With so many opportunities in the digital world—affiliate marketing, real estate, crypto trading, and more—it can be difficult to know where to begin. Many aspiring entrepreneurs spend hours researching without taking actionable steps, and this information overload can lead to analysis paralysis.

2. Lack of Expert Guidance

Finding reliable and effective advice is tough in the crowded digital landscape. Too often, people fall into the trap of following so-called "gurus" or buying into courses that offer little real value. Without expert guidance from someone who has successfully navigated the online income world, it’s easy to lose money and make costly mistakes.

3. Limited Access to Proven Strategies

Even if you have a basic idea of where to start, you might not have access to strategies that have been proven to work. The key to success is not just knowing what to do but also learning how to do it efficiently. Many entrepreneurs waste time experimenting with methods that don’t yield results, leading to frustration and burnout.

4.Difficulty in Networking and Finding Support

The journey to building wealth can be isolating, especially if you’re navigating it alone. Having a network of like-minded individuals to share ideas, receive feedback, and provide motivation is essential. Without a community, it’s easy to feel stuck and unmotivated.
