A girl that I just dated for 5 months, and dumped because she didn't want a relationship, has started reaching out to me and I'm unsure of what to do. Long story but it's kinda complicated?
me(29m) and this girl (29f) started talking in December of last year and dated all the way up until beginning of this May. Both of us agreed to start off casual and just see what happens cuz she was fresh out of a LTR. At the start, I felt like we were beginning to fall for each other. We would talk all day every day as we discovered we had so much in common. She would tell me she was thinking of me throughout the day and when we would see eachother on dates the physical and emotional chemistry was really strong. Constant talk of "we" or "us" doing things together in the future and date plans being made regularly so to me it seems like we were heading to relationship territory at some point.
All of this came to a seemingly screeching halt after the first time we had sex like 2 months in. It didn't go super well as we were both drunk and it was a little awkward, we laughed it off and talked about the next time and I let it go but it felt like a switch had flipped over night.
This is what to me felt like the unraveling of everything. She started the process of moving to a new house and was really overwhelmed so we stopped seeing eachother as often. It seemed like she continued to become more and more distant as time went on but we continued to talk every day. Enthusiasm for date nights seemed to fade and we actually went an entire month without seeing eachother as she was always "too tired or busy" with the house when i asked but I gave her the benefit of the doubt being busy and rode out the storm. Although nothing ever got better. I eventually asked her if her feelings changed and she assured me no and that she wanted to continue dating like normal she was just over whelmed with life which I understood.
We eventually started going out again and I was helping her fix up the house and it seemed to be getting better and we even had sex again(still awkward). but then her dog became ill and had to be put down which added even more turbulence into things. I tried to be there for her as much as I could and tried to show her I was someone she could count on but despite my efforts the feeling of distance between us kept growing and eventually it got to the point where she started straight up flaking on plans we had giving the classic "I fell asleep" after not responding to me on nights we had plans or changing her mind saying she had a headache. I didn't appreciate this at all so I messaged her one day saying something along the lines of "Hey its been great getting to know you but I want a relationship and I know you don't so it's unfair for both of us to keep talking" she said she would miss me alot and she was sorry she wasnt in the mental space for a relationship but she loved being with me. and with that we ended things and haven't spoke in over a month. I was left with a lot of questions mainly of wtf happened why did this seemingly amazing connection just dissappear?
She randomly reached out to me a week ago but I ignored it and now last night over instagram by sending me a meme like the ones we used to send eachother and said "what really sucks is I see things like this and think of you" I reciprocated and we agreed to a friendly meeting up for a drink next week.
I still like this girl and think we could have something real if she decided she wanted to commit to a relationship. Is she breadcrumbing me? Am I just being a naive hopeless romantic?

Hey guys,
I’ve been out of the military for years now, and I just got my claim approved. Am now 70% service-connected. Live in Germany.
I want to access the installations here, and I know that there is a long process for this. It all starts with getting a VHIC (somehow).
I tried to apply for this online using access.va.gov/accessva, but I keep getting a “Something went wrong, please contact your local VA facility”. I’m using my passport and my German mailing address.
Is there any way to get this card without spending a ton of money to fly back to the US? I have family in Texas, so maybe I could list that as the address and try to get them to mail it there?
I feel like I’m an edge case that no one thought about when they set this whole thing up. Help and advice would be appreciated.

The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by these Official Rules.

To the extent that you or we prevail on a claim and seek public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.
f) Class Action Waiver. YOU AND ZAM AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ Dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution and Arbitration section shall be null and void.

New data analyst, working for a big company, here. I am even more new to PBI but have been tasked to help. Right now, we have a dashboard that sends alerts to emails and allows our end users to see the one tile/visual that the alert is connected to.
What would be the easiest route to:
- Allow end user to see all tiles/visuals
- Allow end user to see data without having PBI
- Possible to publish to SharePoint so anyone internally can see data w/o having PBI?
​
From what I have read I can only share with others that have PBI. I would like to just send the data without them having it. Thanks

Ok, I’m beginning to lose patience with the new app and token migration.
Have had some Meld token in 2 different Eternal wallets since the end of the ISPO, one of which I was using to provide liquidity in a pool.
When the token migration began, I was able to migrate the tokens from the LP without any issues.
So today I decide to link my second wallet to migrate the rest of my tokens…..and that’s a no go. It seems that I can only link one wallet to the app, even after creating a new, second 24 word seed phrase. Maybe I’ve done something wrong, but can’t see what that could be. Annoying but okay, whatever.
So I transfer a small amount of the old token to the wallet linked to the Meld App as a test. Okay great, the tokens showed up in the second wallet no problem. Now however, when I log in to the app the older non migrated tokens aren’t showing up in app, which of course means that I can’t migrate them. So now I have tokens in a second wallet that I can’t connect to the app or migrate to the new smart contract.
Would really like to use more of my tokens in some Defi protocols so WTF meld?
Not giving up on this project but my patience is wearing very thin

I want to build a lot of benches, shelves, and other various small structures.
I am open to using metal brackets if that’s the most cost and time efficient, but I’m thinking there must be a good way to do it without a bracket.
I know that I need to avoid screwing into the end grain for these connections. None of my use cases impact life safety. Primarily holding potted plants and such. Still I want them to be reliable. And since they’ll be outside I know end grain is even more susceptible to failure.
I know joints would be ideal but that’s a new skill for me. I have a table saw and can make dado cuts. I can borrow a router setup for something more complicated but that’s new to me.

Posted a few weeks ago about how my partner (m) and I (f) had a hookup, where my So crossed boundaries.
Took the high road advice and opened up with him how that made me feel, and how we need a break from the LS, to which he agreed.
Fast forward to this week, I agreed to our usual agreement of FFM, so he has been eagerly seeking, however I noticed he was talking to the couple with whom he crossed boundaries with and I asked what they were talking about and he ignored me, then lied to my face and said they aren't talking and that I'm crazy. Sure enough the messages have been deleted.
A bit of info on my previous post:
My so went to another room with the girl " which has always been off bounds *, and claims he just "had a cigarette". Meanwhile all week hes been talking about how good sex and cigarettes are (which we haven't done together). Just little comments he makes is making it appear like all the lying pieces are stemming together.
We didn't have this issue with previous experiences, but with this one, him and the girl had too strong of a connection, and I wasn't attracted to the guy sexually, which my so knew from the start.
My so keeps trying to get us to hang with them, but I'm so uncomfortable, and feel sick by how obsessed he has been about this other girl.
Everything has been weird and off since then. Has he been thinking about her that much? my gut is alarming me that something is off.
I really enjoyed the LS up until now, and now I'm kinda mad at myself for giving the wrong man this opportunity to explore with me. He had never had these experiences until I introduced him to the LS, which wasn't suppose to be a full swap which he also knew, but my drunk ass tried to be the kinder partner, and he has taken advantage.
Feel like we went from a happy and cute couple to becoming toxic in a matter of weeks. Just in shock, we've been together for 10 years now with many experiences. I love him dearly, and really wanted us to find that balance, but now I'm seriously considering leaving this relationship.
For the first time, LS has ruined my relationship because my so is taking advantage and he doesn't care how I feel.
Does this happen often to couples in the LS? How do I confront him without sounding like I'm nagging or complaining? How do I get my point across.... I don't want to let 10 years go so easily, but it feels shady.

Hi,
I am from Houston, Texas. Well, I live just outside of Houston, but people who live near Houston usually say they are from Houston.
Anyway, I am 25 years old, and I was studying medicine overseas. I have permanently returned to the USA to continue my education. I work part time as an uber eats driver. I spend most of my time studying. This might be a relatively long post.
Hobbies/Interests: My hobbies are similar to most people, and we don't have to share the same hobbies or interests. - Movies and TV (Sci-fi, horror, and crime) - Exercising, especially running - Food (Thai, Mediterranean, and Indian) - Reading - Boardgames and videogames - Nature-y stuff. Walking outside. - Music (Instrumental, orchestral, and rap). I listen to songs from each genre. - Investing
I want to pickup more hobbies and interests. I would like to learn how to play the piano and violin. I want to learn a new language. I want to do outdoor activities such as hiking and maybe even camping. I have always wanted to learn video effects. It's great if you do one or multiple of these things, so I can learn or participate too. We can pickup a joint hobby too. However, I am a homebody. I would describe myself as reserved, calm, but adventurous. I like to tease when I feel comfortable around someone.

• I have no physical requirements because I like people of all sizes and shapes. My tastes vary. However, I do want someone who is healthy, not necessarily skinny. I would like someone who is understanding, open, versatile, and elegant among other things. I believe romance and intimacy are vital to a relationship, so I am drawn to physical affection. I love food, so that is one way to get to my heart.
  
• Physical Description: I am 5' 7" ~ ish. I have short black hair right now, but I am looking to grow it out again. My skin is light caramel, and I have dark brown eyes. My body is slim to average, but I would like to think I am fit. I enjoy running, and I like lifting too. I workout at home since I do not have a gym membership. I might sport some stubble, but I am usually clean shaven. My clothing style is atrocious. I usually wear shorts and a shirt. I need to improve my clothing game.
  
• Religion & Politics: I like to call myself a non-resistant nonbeliever, which is similar to agnosticism. I attended a Christian church when I was younger, and my undergraduate school was Catholic. My parents practice Hinduism, so I have some exposure to religion. I am open to anyone regardless of religious affiliation, and I would definitely like to learn. The same applies to politics. I think it is important to be challenged and to grow as a result. It's hard to pinpoint my political stance, but it is neither conservative nor democratic. My political ideology is always evolving.
  
• Marriage & Kids: I envision a meaningful connection that is built on the premise of transcending the confines of societal expectations of matrimony and children, for I firmly believe that true love and commitment cannot be reduced to a legal contract or the obligation of raising offspring. I do not see myself in marriage. I do not see the point. While some people might find it strange, I believe that a strong and meaningful relationship doesn't require a marriage certificate. However, I would throw that out the window if the right person wanted marriage. Only Siths deal in absolutes. I prefer to focus on building a connection with someone without the added pressure and expectations of marriage. I also do not want kids. I value my time and would rather use it to focus on my partner. If anything, I'd consider adoption, but I'm leaning toward no kids. What more can I say? You know about me. Tell me about yourself.
  
• Please message me via DM or PM. No ghosters please as if that will deter them. I'd like to talk regularly to build a connection. I cannot tell you how frustrating it is to be ghosted or receive messages from people who only send me one word replies. Do not message me if you want me to buy you items. I will not buy anything for you. I might have mentioned too much in this post. You don't have to read everything, and I don't mind repeating myself. I am willing to send a picture to verify. I expect the same if you ask me for a picture. If you have any advice on improving my post, then let me know. Peace out.
  

Hello. This is part of an effort to deepen the connection and understanding of the Tarot, which I decided to openly share in this sub. Each day a card will be drawn, related to which Archetype to focus the study on and deepen. Then a few more will be pulled, pertaining how to expand the conscious awareness of it, how to deepen the subconscious understanding, what's the general message that must be understood and what's the missing link that'll allow further interpretation.
[Today's Card] Page of Wands
The presence of the Page of Wands is quite interesting, and resonated deeply with the general vibe of how my day is going. This guy is all about tackling challenges head on. He may not be the most skillful, nor the wisest, but his bravery is commendable, for it comes not from experience or expertise, but from pure courage and willingness to advance. It's a very heart-centered card, embodying the saying "this kid got heart".
Regarding the exploration, I feel it's deeply related to the directing of magickal power, both in ritual setting and in daily life. Truth is, everything we do can be taken as a ritual, and a ritual can be brought up from everything we do. From brushing our teeth, to taking a nightly walk, to research some topic or spend time in our hobbies, everything can become a ritual. I've done quite a bit of shadow work and emotional healing by watching TV shows. I've learned quite a lot regarding occultism from studying Maths and Physics. The inflow of cosmic energy and it's subsequent grounding is a constant. It's more about allowing it to happen and becoming aware of it than anything else.
The Page of Wands, like all pages, entails some immaturity, usually masked by a thick layer of Ego - a byproduct of said immaturity. This is the guy that'll bite more than he can chew, and plow through it even though his jaws is cramping up. Although this is somewhat commendable, and surely adds up to quite a few lessons regarding personal limits, ultimately his approach isn't exactly sustainable. Overexerting ourselves, no matter in which area, plane or form, is a sure fine way to end up feeling exhausted and burned out. Alternatively, a more balanced, sustainable approach will allow for further creative exploration, keeping the Work light and interesting, with plenty room for expansion and personal inputs.
[Expand the Light] Ten of Wands
It's curious how the Ten of Wands pops up regarding how to expand the conscious understanding of the Ten of Wands. Clearly there's something missing, considering the Page follows the Ten. It's as if the cards are advising to take a step back and really review the lessons of the Suit, with all that that entails. This particular Ten is really powerful and deep, and deeply connected to my patron deity, Odin, the Allfadhir, which isn't insignificant at all. My relationship with Odin, and with my guides in general, can be summed up as "we'll tell you how stuff works, than you figure it out how to make it work on your own". Lately there's been quite a bit of understanding how things work, which means it's time to roll up the sleeves and get them hands busy. This is also quite aligned with the general flow of today. Astrologically, this card is related to Saturn in Sagittarius, which presents the other side of the dichotomy present in the Two of Pentacles (Jupiter in Capricorn). Truth be said, the Saturn in Sagittarius association isn't as clear as the Jupiter in Capricorn one, so the pointer towards exploring the Ten a little deeper in order to get to the Page makes total sense. Regarding the Astrological setting, I'd say the main focus would be to align structures with purpose.
[Deepen the Shadow] Nine of Swords
This one has been very present lately - perhaps because of it's association with Sun in Gemini, which is the Astrological period we're living through. Either way, the message seems related to actually embracing the anxiety and worry that the Nine of Swords usually entails, and take it as an indicator of where to pour in focus next. Regarding the deck in particular, this Nine brings out the "no point fighting what is" energy contained in the Nine of Swords. I feel this is related to some inner resistance regarding some responsibilities, which usually gets tore down by the time the anxiety of not being able to come through overrides said resistance. Clearly it's time to work through this, and start working - a theme that's clearly constant in this reading. The Page of Wands in particular is very proactive, and tends to jump in before understanding the full picture. This is very far from my usual mode of function. Perhaps it's time to spend less resources figuring out what to do and embrace the process of figuring it out while doing it.
[Guiding Power] Page of Cups
The Page of Cups was a real constant yesterday, and came up in the majority of the readings I gave. I always associate this guy with creativity, but also a certain dreamlike state. Reminds me of the archetype of the daydreamer, which floats to life with their head in the clouds. There's also a certain childlike innocence to this page, specially in this deck - opposed to RWS's Page of Cup's general sly fox vibe. Curiously, it creates a clear polarity with the Page of Wands. The main focus is Fire, but the general lesson is Water. I'd say the major point here is about flow. About entering a state of acceptance regarding what's life bringing in to the table and asking in return. Only by engaging in this give-and-take, in this ebb, can we open up ourselves to what Life has to give us. Anything else will can be summed up as forms of resistance or dysfunction.
[Missing Link] Four of Swords
Ah, the quiet one. Clear indicator it's time to stop theorizing and talking the talk, and start walking the walk. I never go too long when this guy comes up. It's a card that's to be understood and contemplated, not explained and deconstructed.
In general, I'd say the reading entails a generally positive experience, with a big focus on practicality. Theory can only take us so far. Things must be practiced in order to be understood and integrated. Alternatively, practice without theory won't generate much movement. A proper balance of both is required - something I feel comes up from the dichotomy between the Pages that were drawn. Regarding the Ten, I'd say there's a really big expansion vibe, but a different kind of expansion. It feels more like re-purposing existing structures and figuring out how to adapt them to the current situation than it feels about gathering new tools and exploring new ideas. More of an horizontal movement. Regarding the Nine, the general idea is to be brutally honest regarding the excuses presented to oneself. The philosopher's trap is a real thing. We shouldn't pay mind to the justifications and explanations that our insecure ego comes up with to avoid the process of trial and error that's deeply associated with putting something to practice. Instead, it's important to understand failure as an integral part of the learning experience, and actively pursuing it - after all, it's said the greatest difference between the Master and the Apprentice is that the Master has failed more times than the Apprentice has even tried.
I hope this exploration adds some value or, at the very least, some interesting outlooks or insights. Thank you for your time. Stay True <3

Is LISK a bisexual sadist serial killer; grooming, attacking and murdering both men and women and why do few people really want to consider this?
A reasonable case for this can be made with just allowing one’s perspective to see all of the overarching evidence and challenge law enforcement’s one dimensional, myopic and hastily put together narrative.
As stated many times before, SCPD believes “Asian Male” to be an outlier, a surprise to LISK, who being all heterosexual, beat this person to death in a fit of rage. On the surface, this is a plausible assessment; that is, if there weren't any other males found in proximity (location and time), to female victims, or found in some sort of female clothing. How does that align when SCPD also has a keen eye on Andre Jamal “Sugar Bear'' Issac, going so far as to incorporate a link to the Gilgo News website, and “owning” the case, despite their torso being found in Arverne, in a female bodysuit and skirt?
The link, or links?

• Sugar Bear was a Drag Artist, well known in those circles from NY to NJ and even in the DC area.
• Sugar Bear was also arrested twice on prostitution charges.
• Sugar Bear was shot in the left temple and dismembered and disposed of in multiple locations.
• There is a lot to unpack regarding Sugar Bear. They were last seen shortly before Thanksgiving leaving their home and getting into a red BMW type sports car with “nice rims''. They were observed leaving without their coat or pocketbook. However, Sugar Bear’s torso was found clad in a black bodysuit and skirt. I would imagine that the person who last saw Sugar Bear leaving their home would have made note if they left in that skirt and bodysuit. Last Seen 11/17/2002 and torso not found until 12/2002, did LISK hold on to Sugar Bear as Dormer alluded to with the GB4?

As my research progressed, using my map, it became rather obvious to me that there was something more going on than the narrative suggests. The list of male victims I’ve compiled are not conclusive and there could very well be any number of reasons and tons of other POI’s, but if “Asian Male” and Sugar Bear and the Manorville Males are in LISK’s orbit, then so too are the men I will introduce below.
SCPD, subsequently and consistently has denied any link between the three murdered males found in Manorville, 2000, 2003 and 2012, despite being in relative proximity to Jessica Taylor and Valerie Mack (who were also found along Ocean Parkway in the Gilgo Beach area).
But, is this accurate?
Not by a long shot…..here is why…
What if LISK selected both women and men, to moderately groom and ultimately murder?
Before I get to that, I wanted to thoroughly look at Sexual Serial Killers in general. Many SK’s are compulsion killers- driven towards certain criteria and/or opportunities, but predominantly, sexually driven:

• Sam Little: preyed on sex workers and women with substance use disorders.
• Richard Cottingham: both spontaneous and opportunistic, killed women and teens.
• Dennis Rader: stalked and killed females, a family with one adult and one minor male.
• Gary Ridgeway: strangled and killed female sex workers

There are precedents of bisexual serial killers:

• Israel Keyes is particularly interesting and the true scope of his murders will never be known, but Keyes was definitively bisexual and targeted couples and sex workers. Keyes also was driven by a sexual lust that did not discriminate between the sexes. He often purchased lube and stored it in his kill caches.
• Sean Paul Hanify is a self professed bisexual serial killer who’s spree spanned from 1989-2002.
• Herbert Baumeister, married father of 3 children, is linked to 11-24 murders.

Serial killers have many overlapping traits, which seem like MO’s to the average person, but this is actually not the case. Each known serial killer is wholly unique and while there are some similarities, it is foolish to try to relegate any one of them into a box of characteristics and call it expertise, or “definitive”.
LISK clearly has a female “preference”. Petite, 5’-5’5”, 100 -110 lbs., hazel/green eyes. The “attributed” LISK Victims all share these characteristics. (Side note: less than 5% of the world’s population has hazel eyes, in the US, it’s closer to 18%). The narrative here is that it was easier to “control” smaller, lighter women, but not necessarily the case. Eye color preference is a derivative of paraphilia and may represent for LISK, a catalyst, rooted in his childhood or early developmental experiences or fantasies.
With the males we see a different trend, notably because males tend to be larger overall. But the methods of their deaths have some consistency.
For now, I will focus on just the time frame of 1990-2016. I will add background where relevant. To be fair, some of the criteria I used is lacking depth and is tenuous, however, for example, at that time, it was well known that a male wearing one earring is representing themselves as gay in many circles, whereas nowadays, it is not.

Traveled a bit around the globe...speak German... Corporate life. Looking for a new connect to unwind with. Nothing serious.
Hitched yes, guess I am searching for a little freshness. I know that there are folk out here who appreciate the sentiment :) Let's go have coffee in a quaint cafe, become friendly and enjoy a day without usual boundaries.
No extra agenda other than that. Would be great to connect with You if you find yourself on the same page 😘

Considering all the buzz around WiFi 7, there weren't many live demos at Computex, but Realtek had a demo running in its suite at the show. Realtek will offer both client and routeAP solutions, with their client product which goes under the RTL8922AE model name, coming in M.2 2230 and 1620 formats, where the latter is a solder down module. To simulate a real world scenario, Realtek was running a second radio to cause some additional interference, but the RTL8922AE test setup was still capable of delivering between 1,750 and 1,950 Mbps, which is almost twice as fast as WiFi 6, using a similar 2x2 antenna setup. This was obviously over a fairly short distance, so the question is how well WiFi 7 will work over longer distances.
The RTL8922AE has a claimed maximum sync speed of 2800 Mbps when connected to the 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands simultaneously and combining the bandwidth of both bands. However, it is limited to a 160 MHz channel bandwidth, whereas WiFi 7 can go up to a 320 MHz wide channel, but it's unclear if competing first gen clients will support this. The RTL8922AE also incorporates support for Bluetooth 5.4 and is as far as we're aware one of the first WiFi chips to support the upcoming standard that mostly focuses on improving BLE Audio and Auracast support. The RTL8922AE should launch sometime in the fourth quarter this year to Realtek's customers, so it might not appear on the market until early 2024.

Right now I'm sitting at my computer trying to apply for jobs. I apply for one and I'm feeling a little confident. Then I go to apply for the next one and it prompts me to submit a resume or a cover letter. An instant defeated feeling. I have made cover letters and resumes in the past but now it just feels hopeless.
I'm 30 years old and I don't have a lot of prestigious accomplishments about myself. I dropped out of community college when I was 23 and I haven't had any jobs that I have been proud of to talk about my achievements of. I personally think I have what it takes to do an array of jobs but most of them want experience in the field to even hope for a chance at employment. I could write a cover letter expressing my interest and benefits to working for these companies but without any good connections or previous experience, how am supposed to find the right career for me?
I grew up in foster care to later be adopted into a home with parents that didnt take any time in their life to guide me even in the slightest. I left at 18 to live a better life and threw myself to the wolves. My motivation has been twiddled down to absolutely nothing. I just wish I had that motivation that I had leaving home. That undying sense that I could accomplish anything. Now it just seems hopeless and I dont know what to do about getting a stable well paying job to keep me moving forward.

I just got the Arrow 100 GNSS system (upgraded from a 10yo Tremble) and I’m having issues connected the receiver location to ArcGIS field maps and ArcGIS survey apps without the Eos Tools Pro app. Is downloading the Eos Tools Pro app the only way to get location to work?

Well it involves more than just other accounts on unaffiliated rooted devices.... It involves the deep down personal level that touches ones heart, so close you can taste it just by breathing the fumes of it in.... Until you finally take a massive forcefully fed bite. Disorienting all the organized cancellation and lies and indoctrination (oh my!)
You like cancel culture? You like to silence what destroys lives and people don't care about? Maybe all they have are these outlets and the crowd locally who was wise enough to take my hand and learn hypnosis and so much more...? Yet they still don't care......... Everybody just uses it for themselves.....
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK
I've given people the gift of magic to walk upon society freely without identifying them in the way I identify myself in order to expose pure evil.... & The repayment I get is testing of my abilities in order to allow KAMDYN in here?!? Thanks again MOM but no thanks. But thanks for teaching me I can't fuckin trust mother fuckin (literally) anybody. Nobody new is to be trusted on these devices or any work environment connected to them, & this rule started so long ago among agreed upon creation of the Facebook that it's far from new anymore.... This rule started to protect the innocent and I know it seems as if I have endangered innocents merely by making them aware to such things... Yet think of how we KNOW your endangering children through indoctrination in the schools especially..... You believe you are helping children by indoctrinating them and feeding them bullshit right? Even though it's well damn known and established and pushed that it's harmful information........
This is my struggle woke people.... This is what I deal with.... Because I'm ready to just give up on everything and live in a facility I am set to expose and upload countless documents and footage of technically unethical hypnosis although it doesn't involve rape or incest like the hypnosis that was forced upon me.... I debate daily and struggle releasing this footage..... But I don't want the methods used on children the way they were used on the children who were made to abuse me alongside the adults who perpetrated it....
I only wanted good people with good motives to know the magic and be able to use it and walk freely among society without a label the way I wear this label that I now wish.... I no longer even existed to hold..........
I'm sorry nobody believes me......
I'm sorry everybody wants to cancel me.....
But this is all the truth..... Just like you believe you can be a different gender..... MAYBE IF ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WOULD'VE ACCEPTED THE TRUTH THAT WRECKED MY LIFE I WOULD'VE ACCEPTED WHAT THEY BELIEVE IS THE TRUTH
HOW THE GOD DAMN MOTHER FUCK DOES IT FEEL TO HAVE SOMEONE TELL YOU YOU'RE FUCKING MENTALLY GOD DAMN MOTHER FUCKING ILL ALL THE GODDAMN FUCKING TIME YOU READ IT YOU GOD DAMN WOKE MOTHERFUCKING PIECES OF SHIT
HOW THE FUCK DOES IT FEEL TO BE CANCELED YOURSELF INSIDE EVERY TIME I SAY THAT THERE'S ONLY TWO GENDERS AND GAY PEOPLE BROUGHT THIS UPON US BY BEING GAY
HOW DO YOU FEEL WHEN I WANT TO TAKE YOUR RIGHT TO MURDER YOUR UNBORN BABIES FROM YOU?!?!
YOU LIKE CANCEL CULTURE!?!? YOU LIKE TO WRECK LIVES AND MURDER PEOPLE AND WEAR A SMILE AND ACTUALLY FUCKING CUM. OVER IT?!?!
YOU FUCKING GOD DAMN MOTHER FUCKERS LIKE WHAT DESTROYED MY LIFE SO MUCH THAT IT CAUSES YOU TO CUM.....
fuck you.... Fuck you all with so much passion you... Fuck this I'm done

Introduction
Hey and welcome to the GoogleKnowledgePanels subreddit! This is a subreddit dedicated to discovering and exploring various methods and strategies of securing a Google Knowledge Panel for a brand or person. My name is Nikolas Lemmel and I’m the team-lead at a boutique digital agency by the name of Maximatic Media. As we’ve recently begun offering Google Knowledge Panel creation services, I’ve decided to open this sub in hopes of sparking a discussion on various working and non-working knowledge graph generation methods for Google. I’m hoping to start the birth of this sub off strong so I’m gonna try to provide an in-depth overview of what we’ve learned about creating and stabilizing Google knowledge panels thus far as a company. If you have any experience with either of these components or would like to share one that we’ve yet to cover, please feel free to comment down below.
The Notability Factor
So diving right into the nitty-gritty of GKP creation, we must first cover the concept of notability; arguably, the most important aspect out of all of the points I’ll be covering in this guide. Notability in the context of GKPs simply means how often reputable, secondary sources are referencing you in their media output. Said references come in many forms, whether it be a full feature article, a short bio in a listicle or just a basic citation. However, not all references are made equal. Some references carry significantly more weight than others, either due to its “comprehensiveness” (i.e. a full feature article with the sole focus being on you) or the “reputability” of the source doing the referencing (i.e. mentioned in Forbes vs mentioned in “Biznes-News-Blog”).
Comprehensiveness
Let’s first delve into the topic of comprehensiveness. The comprehensiveness of your reference can be calculated by just a couple factors: the word count of the article, the keyword density of your entity’s name within said article and whether the entity is being referenced in the title/headline of the article. These three components determine the significance laid upon the entity by the reporting outlet. The more extensive the coverage, the higher the significance in the eyes of Google (i.e. a full-feature, 750-word article on Forbes vs a 150 word entry in “Top 30 E-Commerce Businesses of 2023” listicle on Forbes).
The Influence of Topical Relevance
Topical relevance also plays a role in the equation as the contents of the reference should be somewhat aligned with what other sources are discussing when mentioning your entity’s name. If every article that your entity appears in has a completely different context or is overly-generalized, it decreases Google’s certitude of what it truly knows about said entity. That’s largely why it’s not recommended to always opt for brand mentions or stuff keywords into random guest posts as it can drastically impact what Google thinks it knows about you.
Reputability
Now that we’ve covered what I mean by “comprehensiveness”, let’s talk about the other component influencing the power of your media coverage: reputability. The concept of reputability is basically as straightforward as it gets. Just about any semi-famous news or media outlet that you can think of is viewed as a “reputable” source by Google. The likes of Forbes, Mashable, USA Today, etc are all stellar examples of significant coverage that corroborates you or your brand as a notable entity in the eyes of Google. However, a full feature article on each of those aforementioned sites costs $15,000, $2,400 and $6,500 respectively. If you as an entity see no utility in being featured on these media outlets beyond simply meeting the eligibility criteria for a Google Knowledge Panel, it makes little sense to purchase those placements.
The Role of Domain Authority
This is where a more esoteric metric comes into play: Domain Authority. A DA score is effectively a ranking assigned to a domain which we can use to assess any given site’s authority in comparison to the rest of the web. It is calculated using the domain’s age, the amount of other sites referring to it and the reputability of said referrals. Basically the same criteria influencing your probability of getting a GKP but quantified by a score from 1 to 100. Now let’s return back to three examples of reputable media outlets I’ve given above: Forbes, Mashable and USA Today. Forbes has a DA score of 95, Mashable has a DA score of 92 and USA Today has a DA score of 94. So all in all, all three publications are highly renowned, outpacing the vast majority of other sites on the web with scores of 90 and above. However, if referring back to the pricing of each placement, we see a pretty drastic incongruence with the value derived from each media outlet in the context of GKP creation. Forbes, despite being one measly basis point off of USA Today’s DA score, carries more than a 200% higher price tag. Now sure, Forbes has a significantly higher readership and holds far more clout than USA Today but if focusing solely on its impact in the SEO space, it really doesn’t warrant the price you pay for it when compared to other viable alternatives.
And these are just the three sites we’ve mentioned so far. Take a look at the following spreadsheet containing 400+ available media placements and keep an eye on the DA column:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SX7bI0YSZeJCWwxaMEZ1LG-QtoiLFnDVJZjW1n-ZvQ0/edit?usp=sharing
As you scroll through, you’ll find that there are a plethora of Google-News-Approved sites that have a relatively high DA despite costing a fraction of what the internationally distinguished media outlets cost. Sites like Village Voice, HackerNoon, Times of Malta, Chiang Rai Times, etc. Now granted, they don’t exactly pack the same sort of punch that Forbes does but in the context of a Google Knowledge Panel, you are considerably better off securing five B-tier placements in comparison to a singular A tier placement. So long as you are not cheaping out by opting for “Biznes-News-Blog” as your referring source and stick to Google-News-Approved publications, a varied list of reputable placements within your Schema.org set-up (which we’ll be covering later in the guide) will take you much further than just one extremely reputable reference.
The Question of Quantity
A pretty common question we get asked in our GKP consultations with clients is what amount of references guarantees a panel. What is the absolute minimum that I can get away with? And truth be told, we honestly have a hard time answering this question as we don’t truly know. Without an inside look at the inner-workings of Google’s GKP algorithm, it’s impossible to say what the actual amount is. The variables it utilizes are dynamic and there isn’t a constant sum that can be calculated across all cases. We’ve witnessed a client get a GKP with just three mid-tier references in their Schema and we’ve also witnessed a client fail to get a GKP with upwards of 20 strong references.
Having said that though, if taking into account the median number of references across all of our successful cases, a good benchmark to aim for would be roughly 8 semi-strong, corroborating references with a DA of 70 and above. Again, this number is not set-in-stone and may vary contingent on the amount of “keyword-pollution” (i.e. other entities vying for the same moniker) occurring for your entity’s name along with other factors only Google is cognizant of.
Debunking the Myth: The Wikipedia-GKP Connection
Now, let's clear up a common misconception that I've seen floating around: having a Wikipedia page is not a prerequisite for getting a Knowledge Panel. Our anecdotal experience proves no solid line connecting the two. There is absolutely no need to worry about going through the hoops and hurdles of Wikipedia to earn your spot in the Knowledge Graph.
A Wikipedia page is only useful in the context of adding a short bio within your Knowledge Panel which can only be derived from a Wikipedia entry. Beyond that, nothing else about the panel changes. You can still have your website, your logo/image, your social media links and everything else that makes a panel a useful tool within one’s online reputation management’s arsenal.
Believe it or not, securing a stickied Wikipedia page is far, far more difficult than obtaining a GKP. A source like Daily Mail, a highly reputable reference in the eyes of Google, is seen as an “untrustworthy”, “tabloid-like” source of information in the eyes of Wikipedia. As I’ve explained above regarding the Forbes placement, unless you have a separate need for a Wikipedia page beyond its utility in the GKP context, it makes little sense to go through the effort of establishing it. However, if you’re dead-set on getting a Wikipedia page for your personal or corporate brand, you can check out our separate guide about successfully acquiring a Wikipedia page on WikipediaPublishing.
Schema.org Set-Up
Now that we’ve extensively covered the topic of notability, this brings us to the following component which is the nice and robo-friendly organization of your notability indicators. This is where your Schema comes in. Schema.org is a collaborative initiative started by major search engines, including Google, Yahoo, Bing, and Yandex, to create a shared vocabulary that webmasters can use to structure metadata on their websites. It's basically a form of microdata, a type of HTML specification used to nest metadata within existing content on web pages. When implemented correctly, a Schema markup can significantly improve your presence in the SERPs by helping search engines understand your content more efficiently as soon as it surfaces on the web.
In the context of a Google Knowledge Panel, using a Schema markup eliminates the degree of guess-work involved on Google’s end to determine which piece of content belongs to your entity and which doesn’t. This is what enables Google's algorithm to use this structured data to generate rich, informative search results – the kind that Knowledge Panels are known for. This part is especially crucial to those of you who are competing for the same name in the SERPs.
Here's how you'd go about setting up a Schema.org markup:
Step 1: Identify Your Schema Type
Choose the right type of Schema.org markup that suits your content. There are hundreds of Schema types available, from creative works (like books, movies, and music) to organizations, persons, places, and more.
Step 2: Generate Your Markup
Once you've identified your Schema type, use a tool like Google's Structured Data Markup Helper or JSON-LD Schema Generator to create your markup. These tools are user-friendly and guide you through the process step-by-step.
Step 3: Implement Your Markup
Once generated, this markup needs to be added to the HTML of your website. The placement of the markup will depend on the type of Schema you're using and the CMS of your site.
Step 4: Test Your Markup
After implementation, use Google's Rich Results Test to verify if your markup is correctly implemented and can be read by Google.
Remember, adding Schema.org markup to your site does not guarantee a Knowledge Panel, but it does indeed increase your chances by helping Google better understand and represent your content. It's just one piece of the puzzle in creating an informative, robust online presence that can contribute to your GKP creation.
Conclusion
In bringing this all together, let me say this: carving out your space on the web with a Google Knowledge Panel is a fine-tuned mixture of art, science, and a bit of ol’ fashioned luck. We've talked at length about the importance of building notability, making sure we're being talked about in all the right places and in the right way. We've also stressed the need to take stock of the value each media placement brings to the table, balancing their domain authority and cost to get the most bang for our buck (refer back to the spreadsheet).
We've also established that there's no magic number of references that'll open the GKP gates for us. Like a lot of things in life, it’s not just about quantity but quality and relevance that counts. And although having a Wikipedia page may seem like the golden ticket, it's not the be-all and end-all; you can absolutely secure a GKP without one.
As for structuring our online presence for Google’s scrapers, using a Schema.org markup is a crucial piece of the puzzle. It’s like leaving breadcrumbs for Google's algorithm, making sure it can effortlessly find and understand our content. The detailed steps we've covered should help guide you through this process, but remember, it’s not a guarantee for a panel - just a tool in your arsenal.
At the end of the day, there isn't a foolproof recipe for securing a GKP. The path to success can vary wildly, each one unique and filled with its own set of disadvantages. But with some patience, a touch of strategy, and a deep understanding of how Google's algorithm works, we can certainly increase our odds.
Hopefully, y’all found this sub’s first post to be useful and a good introduction into the world of GKP creation. Myself and my team member, Marcus will be sticking around for an AMA on this post in case people have questions regarding any of the factors we’ve covered in this guide. Don’t forget guys, we started this subreddit out of the desire to make the process of securing a GKP less daunting and more of a community endeavor. It's a place where we can share our triumphs and challenges, learn from each other, and navigate the GKP landscape together. So whether you’re a newbie trying to secure your own panel or an SEO professional with years of experience in the field, please do not hesitate to share your journeys along with any factors you’ve found to have an impact that we failed to cover in the guide.

Heyo! I've noticed this ingredient is praised quite a lot, and quite excessively. I figured I'd share some information many people don't seem to take into consideration when it comes to vitamin c serums.
Firstly, the way I see skincare is biological. I have a nursing degree with a focus on chemistry more than patient care (lab work).
So, this is going to be all about aleviating actual skin issues, not any possible anti aging benefits vitamin c may have.

1. Vitamin c serums can and do cause oxidative stress, therefore skin damage

• we all know that vitamin c oxidises, and this applies to absolutely all serums, no exceptions. This is because vitamin c has a pro oxidant effect. Topicul vitamin c reacts with oxygen, it produces superoxyde which then goes on to produce by products like xydrogen peroxide. The consequences to thus include acne, iritation, inflamation and redness.

Vitamin c also becomes oxidative by interacting with metal. Where do we find metal? Due to polution, in the air. So as you apply it topically, you already have two factors causing oxidation.

1. Vitamin c doesn't play with compounds found in cosmetic products

-copper, as it becomes more popular in skincare and other products, you might be interacting with it without knowing
-phosphates are in everything, from haircare to foundation
There are more reasons besides these 2, such as colagen breakdown over time with continuous use of vitamin c serums.
Alternative? Wash off masks, since they rely on glycerin/oil bases and don't remain on the skin for that long.
