TV Guide Print Advertisements for every episode of The X-Files — a thread ✨
*not every episode had a print ad, these were all the ones I was able to find
Pfizer employees got a special version of the “vaccine”, not what was given to the general population.
Odds are it was just something harmless without mRNA because Pfizer would have legal liability forcing it on their own employees.

GameStop Wallet is shutting down. If you want to migrate your funds and/or NFTs over to Loopring Smart Wallet we are working on some guides to support this💙
PSA📢: GameStop Wallet is an EOA wallet meaning it uses just a seed phrase to protect your funds
Loopring Smart Wallet is a smart wallet that instead uses social recovery and other mechanisms to further secure your funds - giving you all sorts of extra protections
The benefits of switching to Loopring Smart Wallet would be additional security and protection for your assets
However, the migration would not be as simple as migrating your seedphrase into MetaMask
Migrating to Loopring Smart Wallet instead would require activating an L2 account within the LSW app and then transferring all your assets across Loopring L2 from one wallet to another
For me, this is a good long term, secure solution. But I understand the simpler and quicker solution would be to migrate to MetaMask (although less secure)
Either way, we will help users with guides to complete these migrations before the GameStop Wallet officially shuts down
We appreciate everyone from the #GameStop community for their support of the Loopring L2 ecosystem over the years 💙
We are not going anywhere and the ecosystem is growing every month and only just beginning
We welcome all to come try the full Loopring ecosystem experience with everything baked right in, in the Loopring Smart Wallet🫡💙

Three questions determine 99% of the happiness in your life:
1. What am I working on and why?
2. Who am I spending time with and why?
3. How well am I treating my body and why?
Everything else is noise.
In the rugged and rocky terrains of the Zagros mountains in Iran, a remarkable predator roams, known as the spider-tailed horned viper
Look at its tail,
the tip resembles the shape of a spider, but not only that it moves just like a spider, and used as a hunting tool to lure insectivorous birds

Of course orcs have menus. Restaurants are the tip of the iceberg. Think about it. Mordor sends out gigantic armies with well-drilled formations and excellent discipline, which clearly require a sophisticated logistical operation to keep them fed and supplied, and with a terrific siege train to boot. This means at least the officer class is highly literate, you absolutely cannot use that strategy at that scale otherwise. Any civilization that can produce armies like Mordor’s will necessarily have extremely sophisticated art and culture, and may well be on a trajectory towards decadence. Of course you won’t see most of this by looking at an army in the field—you won’t see the heights of American culture at a forward operating base either—but we do get a few glimpses. We see their monumental architecture at Barad-dur and the Black Gate, which are ornamented in a well-developed style which is clearly distinct from the artistic tradition of Numenor. These are massive undertakings requiring a well-organized workforce, not to mention a tremendous logistic capacity as Gorgoroth is far too barren to supply the laborers so food must have been brought from elsewhere (probably Nurn), and even so the laborers may well have suffered casualties comparable to the Qin Emperor’s levees for building the Great Wall. Mordor’s turn towards decadence is visible in the splendid and impractical armor of commanders with political functions, like the Witch-King of Angmar or the Mouth of Sauron, even if it hasn’t yet reached so far as to affect the dress of purely military field commanders, whose gear is still utilitarian. To produce these sites and artifacts, Mordor must have a large and competent artisan class. They must have an urbanized and highly stratified population. The Nurnen slave plantations are entirely capable of supporting a society like this—compare the latifundia of Rome. In any case we can be confident that the cities of Nurn are on par with the great cities of premodern Earth. Mordor is more than sophisticated enough for restaurants, and wealthy enough, and cosmopolitan to boot—just going by the fragments we see through the lens of war, we can safely assume that Mordor gets the finest spices from the Corsairs of Umbar, expert chefs from the Haradrim, exotic recipes from the Easterlings, and who knows what else. The restaurants must be incredible, and that’s the least of it. Mordor probably has, like, great novelists writing comic adventure stories about an orcish explorer who gets lost among the hobbits. Astounding poets who will make you weep with despair as they describe being trampled by Sauron. Grand and incredibly racist operas about the crimes of the elves.
Having a kid is not the hardest thing I have ever done, but it is the most challenging. Challenging because it forces you to confront what you buy with your time every second – very specific types of career advancement, leisure, that sort of navel-gazing, stare out the window of a train time. All of those are impacted, and not like a little, like very seriously impacted.
There's ways to still have each piece, and maybe the sacrifices now are turned on their head later, but you absolutely are NOT in Kansas anymore, there's no going back, what was there before is gone. So it's experiencing an ego death. That is painful. And I continue to struggle with it daily.
On the flip side, it narrows and shapes your focus and interpretation of the world in a way that makes your previous ego seem almost laughable. You have a real stake in the world that you couldn't possibly have before. It is meaning and purpose and significance and whooshes of beauty in such such pure refinement that it also becomes clear that no other experience could possibly meet this peak, even incredibly intimate sex with your partner is different.
I would say having kids is being a psychonaut in a really fearless way. You will never go back. You take on a burden and responsibility that can NEVER be put down. But what makes it 'special' is not just the love from your kid. I'm not highlightning that because it's well known, it's table stakes to understanding the joys of parenting. For me a huge part of the unlock has been the JOY of the AGONY of being FORCED to CHOOSE. Stop at 5 and cook dinner with my family or sequester myself away. These choices have WEIGHT and MATTER, every second that ticks is a meaningful choice and it is a blessing to be burdened with that. Hard to describe exactly, so this is an early morning imperfect attempt. But I hope in some way it helps you untangle your feelings around this.
Honestly, you can't make kids work on a cost-benefit analysis. It's truly a transcendental experience, and attributing that transcendentalism to just the feeling of being loved by your kid does it injustice. We are transcending time, space, and consciousness and must do intentionally over and over and over again, day after day after day. Are you strong enough? Are you faithful enough? Are you open enough to the possibility of what the Universe can be that you are able to open yourself to it, not just that but CHOOSE it every day? Maybe. But you won't figure it out asking for "balanced" advice.
@TheBrometheus I find younger men, under 28, to be able to express emotions without feeling emasculated, but the older generation not so much.
My hunch is that is has to do with the internet and acceptance of therapy.
