2025.01.26 07:24 cesarbuddy Jacques Vallée about "Disclosure"
Those who hope for an imminent "Disclosure" about UFOs and work tirelessly to document the phenomenon should consider a critical fact: Disclosure would have to come from the same organizations that manage the security briefs on such matters. These organizations operate under their own agendas and constraints, which, while perhaps regrettable, may also be deemed legitimate.
A government body or its classified contractors can claim to possess answers and manipulate the narrative without consequence. They could even present false disclosures to quench the public's thirst for what is perceived as "truth" and to fuel the media's enthusiasm, all under the guise of serving a supposed higher good. But this raises a valid question: A higher good for whom?
From a practical standpoint, it seems only a very small group has any genuine grasp of the truth. This group is not the usual military or intelligence agencies often accused of concealing "the truth," though each does guard its own secrets and may stash fragments of evidence away. On that level, there is quite literally nothing to disclose. Within government structures, conventional security clearances appear irrelevant here, leaving Congress unable to summon Federal Marshals to compel a scientist to testify or release someone from an old oath of secrecy. What secrecy? Is there anything even written down?
Framed in this light, the situation borders on absurdity. As “Sir” Arthur Lundahl, the renowned founding director of the CIA’s Photographic Interpretation Center (APIC), remarked to me at his home on September 14, 1989, when we were discussing a particularly sensitive UFO case riddled with public lies and hidden truths, the irony is undeniable. So much so, in fact, that even the most determined UFO researchers and podcasters avoid addressing it.
Any future Disclosure will be controlled by the same groups that have curated this dossier for the past 75 years. They can spin the narrative however they see fit, maintaining that the military must retain authority. They have the capability to reshape the story entirely, creating new entities and false leads to keep the public chasing shadows. This is their expertise.
No external force can pressure such organizations. If you lack their clearance, you can't challenge them; if you have it, you're certainly not going to challenge them.
The paradox runs even deeper: There may be nothing concrete to dispute or confirm, at least not in the way people have framed their questions. At best, small advancements in technology may gradually surface through standard intellectual property avenues—patents and trade secrets—allocated to top-tier high-tech companies supporting defense and space programs, as Colonel Corso suggested.
We all know who those companies are.
Even so, these firms may hesitate to pursue such ambitious and uncertain projects. They might prefer to allocate their brightest minds to more practical and profitable ventures. After all, we still use enormous, inefficient rockets weighing hundreds of thousands of pounds to send a couple of astronauts to the moon, equipped with a small shovel and two days of dehydrated food—just as we did in 1969.

I used my Chase Sapphire card to purchase a Steam Deck a little over a year ago. I didn’t use it for 2 months and now it won’t turn on. The warranty only covered one year and I’m outside that window now. Does anyone know if the Extended Warranty Claim Benefits cover the cost of repair?

2025.01.26 07:24 Noncog0 Denon Perl Pro EQ (and other information, including vs. mtw4 and az80)
Skip to bottom for EQ settings
Based on great review here about the DPP's, I'd had my eye on them, and when they went on sale for half off I pulled the trigger. I wanted to go all in, so I switched to an LG V60, and went ahead and ordered Azla SendaEarFit Crystal 2 TWS tips. Switching to the V60 was dumb, I'd assumed that these earbuds would support LDAC, but apparently the industry moved on to AptX Lossless while I was out of it, so my devices aren't great at talking to each other. When I first used them, I was really unhappy with the sound signature, very thin sounding. After a while using the in-app auto eq over and over with different tips, I got something workable, and decided to fine tune it with in-app "ProEQ". The manual EQ in the app was pretty limited in function, and while I got it pretty close, I still felt like it wasn't quite right. At this point, a friend got a pair of MTW4's after I told him to get AZ80's; he gave me his buds and phone and told me to eq. It didn't take long or much adjustment in the Sennheiser app to get a decent sound signature out of them, and we moved on to an A/B test of the 2013 remaster of Hotel California, for all of the detail and separation. I listened to his first and was thinking to myself "man, this song is actually kinda boring for active listening" then we switched, and I listened on my DPP's "oh, that's different, ok, I can see why this song is a classic now". By the first minute and a half my friend stopped the test, "nope, that's all I need, I'm sending these back, you said I should order which ones again?" "Techniks AZ80's" "ok, I'll order those and your denons and see which one I prefer". Once his DPP's and AZ80's came in, it was a world of difference tuning wise. The AZ80's sounded good out of the box, and I found some very small eq adjustment suggestions here and tried them, yep, pretty much perfect sound profile in minutes, my DPP's took 2 weeks and I still didn't feel like it was perfect and the bass was underwhelming. His AZ80's vs my DPP's was VERY VERY close, but I still preferred my DPP's, he did too, but just couldn't get a workable tune on his, the AZ80's were so close that it he ended up keeping them due to the DPP's being un-tunable via the app. To offset my phone blunder, I ordered a creative audio BT-W6, it was a bit of a struggle to connect it to the DPP's, but once I got it running AptX Lossless, I was happy. The mids and highs seemed to sound better, but super tiny difference, I'm not sure it wasn't just placebo; the lows, however, were CLEARLY better, I'm sure it wasn't just a placebo effect on the bass. I was disappointed the the BT-W6 didn't come with ANYTHING other than itself and its carboard packaging, and I immediately started worrying about it breaking if my phone fell while it was in, or losing it if it wasn't in my phone, since its TINY. I decided to keep it in part of the disposable cardboard packaging to make it harder to lose; it wasn't enough, in a week, it somehow came out of the cardboard, and fell out of my pocket. My advice, either keep the whole ass box it came in in your pocket, or 3D print something to carry it in, and maybe a guard for the bottom of your phone?
When I finally got the time and transferred over to the V60, I downloaded the poweramp eq app. It was a little tricky to get to work with tidal, I had to turn on USB debugging on my phone, connect it to my pc via usb, use poweramp's web tool to enable DUMP something or other (damn new-fangled machines, humbug), then in the app enable advanced player tracking (and notification tracking to be safe, not sure if that was necessary). At this point, I set everything back to preset in the Denon app, and started playing around with the poweramp eq. I saw that Rtings had a parametric eq for the DPP's in the app, and started with that, trusting the "experts" since I come from car audio, and am new to in-ear stuff. This immediately sounded better than the out-of-the-box sound, so I was heading in the right direction, but it wasn't perfect, so I started making adjustments while listening to a wide variety of music.
(The DPP's and AZ80's are both a full step above the MTW4's in terms of "resolution" and detail, and I feel the DPP's slightly edge the AZ80's. If you care most about sound and are willing to get into the nitty-gritty of codecs and eq, get the DPP's, otherwise, get the AZ80's, which are great all around, good out of the box, and very easy to tune. Now that my DPP's are dialed in, the only thing I'd see as a MEANINGFUL upgrade would be Rex5's, but those are out of my price range atm)
If I get another BT-W6 and it changes anything I'll update, but for now:
Denon app: default everything, but use the immersion slider as bass control to taste and for different genres
Poweramp EQ:
low shelf, Q0.77, 60Hz, +3.5dB
peaking band, Q1.27, 400Hz, -3dB
peaking band, Q2.09, 850Hz, +0.6dB
peaking band, Q2.74, 1.26KHz, -1.4dB
peaking band, Q1.89, 2.65KHz, +7.1dB
peaking band, Q3.44, 4.52KHz, -1.2dB
peaking band, Q6.00, 5.55KHz, +3dB
high shelf, Q0.70, 10KHz, -3.5dB
The peaking bands take care of peaks and valleys, and should be pretty consistent. I use the Denon app immersion slider for bass control. Since bass and highs are often to taste, they are shelf filters, and can be used somewhat for taste adjustment as well, set the high shelf to 0.0dB if you want more sparkle up top, or down to -5.0 if you want less, for example. I'd probably leave the low shelf and use the denon app for bass, but if you want less, get rid of that whole band. I'm super open to input if anyone uses this EQ and improves upon it even further. Tuning the DPP's was BY FAR my biggest complaint about them, but the Poweramp EQ app fixed that for me. I'm honestly surprised that an app with this much capability and the resources to help users get around software, firmware, and player restriction issues is free. I HIGHLY recommend it.

2025.01.26 07:24 Witty-Baseball3459 May confession ako i opened my fubu’s phone and this is what i saw.
so eto na nga HAHAHAHA ‘yung kafubu ko year 2023 kami nagkakilala. may nangyari lang sa amin nung 2nd meet na namin, hanggang sa nasundan na nang nasundan. after 2 months na ganon ang set up, bigla nalang nawala communication namin. idk what happened, siya ang unang naging cold. tinry ko pa siyang iapproach pero ang hirap suyuin ni kuya mo! talagang pakipot pa talaga! HAHAHAHA
sa 2 months na iyon, almost everyday kami nagkikita after class. btw my school is in Manila then he is studying in Caloocan. super sweet namin to the point na para kaming nagdedate araw araw 😭 kasi kada nagkikita kami lagi kami kumakain sa labas and kapag naglalakad holding hands talaga. may one time pa na kasama niya ‘yung kaklase niya nung nagkita kami and pinakilala niya ako as her gf sa friend niya na ‘yun 😭.
pero ayon na nga, i admit na ffall na ako sakanya nung mga time na iyon. that’s why pinili kong umiwas na sakanya and ighost na siya. after 2 months (January 2024) he messaged me and nag aaya ng sex. since miss na miss ko na ‘rin naman siya pumayag ako that time! HAHAHAHA. pero after nung may nangyari sa amin ghinost ko na ulit siya.
hanggang sa chinat niya uli ako nung June, July, October pero lahat iyon inignore ko since nakita ko nung huling stalk ko sakanya may gf na siya. not knowing na break na pala sila nung mga time na iyon. netong taon nag aya ulit siya talagang dito pursigido talaga siya na mapansin ko since tinadtad niya ako ng chat and he also sent me a friend request. this time nagreply ako and pumayag ulit. Super namiss ko din talaga kasi siya imagine isang taon din kami di nagkita 😭😭😭
so here na nga nung nagsex kami nag cuddle kami after that since super pagod din namin. he also turned off the lights so that mas maging maayos ang rest namin. we shared random chikas about sa mga life namin, nagkamustahan, kwentuhan about sa studies, sa career. hanggang sa nakasleep kami parehas. then ako nagising ako since i checked kung anong oras na at baka gabihin kami. nakatalikod na siya sa akin that time and super himbing talaga ng sleep niya to the point na humihilik pa siya HAHAHAHAHA. nung hinahanap ko ‘yung phone ko nakapa ko ‘yung bag niya sa gilid. idk pero merong nagpupush sa akin na tignan ‘yung phone niya kasi i feel something off. nung hinawakan ko ‘yung bag niya tamang tama nakaopen na ‘yung bag niya and nandun ‘yung phone niya. kabadong kabado pa ako nun kasi baka biglang magising and nung inopen ko phone niya nagulat ako kasi walang password😭😭😭. nung inopen ko daling dali ako pumunta sa messenger, and ang bumungad sa akin is ‘yung kachat niyang girl and nung inopen ko ang convo i suspect na girlfriend niya iyon. super tinatadtad niya ng chat ‘yung girl na iyon and sa palagay ko parang nagkakalabuan sila since may nabasa ako there na sinasabihan ng girl na immature ‘yung fubu ko. tapos sabi netong kafubu ko “talaga bang iiwan mo na ako? baka p’wede pa natin ayusin ito chuchu” so ako nashookt ako may gf pala siya all this time tapos nakikipagkita siya sa akin? 😭 meron pa ako nabasa there na kakasend lang niya nung chat ang sabi niya doon “MISS U BEB” “KITA TAYO MAMAYA”. ganon ganon. nahurt lang ako kasi grabe, as in grabe talaga. may mga lalaki pala talagang kahit nakikipagkita sa ibang babae at nakikipag boombayah meron pa talaga silang urge na magchat na gan’yan? hindi na siya nahiya makikipagkita siya sa gf niya after he fucked me? ewww ewan ko pero na off talaga ako, that time super tahimik ko na nung nagising siya and hindi ko na talaga siya kinausap hanggang sa hinatid niya ako sa sakayan pauwi. nagchat siya sa akin ng midnight and nagreact nalang ako ng heart sa chat niya, hindi na ako nagreply. i already blocked him na ‘rin.

Mark has mentioned him and Gemma were trying for a baby and we know something weird is going on with Miss Casey/ Gemma being sent to the testing floor and not having a real outie. Her death is totally mysterious but what if she was pregnant at the time of the crash. What other reason could they have for a child being supervisor.

2025.01.26 07:24 Downtown-Emphasis613 How I Used AI to Build a 5000+ Word Memory System That Actually Knows Me
Most people use AI for quick answers or short-term tasks, but I wanted something more, basically a chatbot that actually knew me.
Like my goals, struggles, and future aspirations. So, I created a 5000+ word memory system that allows AI to act like a personal mentor. This is far beyond what most people do with AI, and here's how I made it happen.
By default, AI like ChatGPT doesn’t "remember" much beyond the current conversation. The memory feels capped at around 1000 words, and you constantly have to re-explain your context, goals, or challenges.
For someone like me, who uses AI for everything from planning to brainstorming big projects (e.g. managing extracurriculars, just an example), that was a major limitation. It wasted time, reduced depth, and made the AI feel less personal.
I needed a system that could:
Retain long-term context about my life and goals. Provide advice tailored specifically to me. Save me from constantly repeating myself. So I made a memory system that could solve these issues, and it worked. Well, the word system does sound a bit dramatic but anyways.
I built a highly detailed memory system by analyzing and summarizing key details from my past AI chats. I used Google Gemini to process the bulk of the data because of its 2 million token context window (1 million in thinking) nd 64k output capacity, but this could also be done with other AI tools or even ChatGPT with some limitations.
Here’s how I did it:
Exporting Chat Data: I downloaded and exported my conversation history from OpenAI. Processing Chats with AI: I copied manageable snippets of my chat history (roughly 18,000-22,000 words per snippet, based on scrolling through my chat log) into an online notepad. These snippets represented small portions (approximately 2-3% per snippet) of my total ChatGPT chat history, which spans millions of words and a 40MB text file. I saved these into a .txt file and fed it into Google Gemini to summarize and highlight the most relevant details (like goals, struggles, and key phrases).
Google Gemini sometimes hallucinated details, so I added specific system instructions
(YOUR TASK IS TO REMEMBER THAT YOU MUST TAKE INFORMATION FROM THE CHATS I PROVIDE WITH ANOTHER AI AND KEEP EXPANDING ON THE ORIGINAL PROFILE I GAVE YOU. try to get information that is relevelant to the character of (the user) rather than like getting information about things like ___, __ etc ALSO MAKE ANY NEW THINGS YOU ADDED IN BOLD FOR EXAMPLE THIS IS A CHAT WITH YOU ABOUT IT:...)
... and asked it to bold any new additions it made. I manually supervised these summaries to ensure accuracy.
After refining and compiling the summaries, I pasted the 5000+ words of memory into Gemini's system instructions (again, you can also do this with chatgpt but i havent tried yet). This gave it a persistent understanding of my goals and personality across conversations.
Why did I use Gemini? Its massive context window (2 million tokens) allowed me to process large amounts of data at once, which made it ideal for reviewing chat history. However, this could theoretically be done with a custom GPT model or even ChatGPT if you don’t mind splitting the process into smaller chunks.
What My AI Memory Knows About Me My memory is far more than a list of facts—it’s a holistic representation of my life, goals, and personality. For example:
Academic Focus: I’m a ___ student working toward Uni of __, focusing on STEM courses like calculus __ and Physics __. Personal Projects: My __ (_), my potential optometry ... , and my other projects. Motivations and Struggles: My perfectionism, self-doubt, and past challenges with ... Dreams: Owning a Yamaha R1M (😭), achieving fluency in French, and excelling in _. It doesn’t just store these details, but it actively uses them to provide personalized, practical advice.
What It Can Do: Real-Life Examples 1. Time Management: With Memory: It built a custom schedule for my semester based on my courses and extracurriculars
Without Memory: It gave me general tips like “use a planner” or “try Pomodoro.” Helpful, but not actionable. 2. Overcoming Perfectionism: With Memory: It remembered my struggles with a course and reframed them as growth opportunities. It connected this to my perfectionism and suggested actionable steps for tackling my currentb semester. Without Memory: It gave generic advice like “don’t let mistakes hold you back.”
It’s like talking to a mentor who knows your life inside-out. Time-Saving: No more re-explaining my goals or context.
I'm still working on the remaining 60% of my chats, which could push this memory to 7000+ words. Customizable: The system can be adapted for career planning, journaling, or even brainstorming future projects.
There are, of course, privacy concerns with this approach. Exporting and feeding chat data into AI tools requires caution, especially with sensitive information. I recommend using secure platforms and keeping all files offline (like a premium model that doesn't use data to train).
TL;DR: I used AI to scan AI chats, summarize the key details, and build a 5000+ word memory system for AI. Now, my AI feels like a personal mentor, offering tailored advice for my goals, challenges, and projects. You could achieve a similar result with a custom GPT model or ChatGPT, but it takes effort to manage smaller context limits.
If you want any pictures/screenshots feel free to ask i just might reply a bit late because I have to blur out some things, and of course, sleep.

2025.01.26 07:24 ApplicationBusy9625 Should I go to a catholic church when I can‘t attend an orthodox?
I was baptized orthodox as a kid, but we have moved to a western European country where most are either catholics or protestants. I don‘t have a driving license yet, so for over a year I have been attending the catholic church in my town without partaking in the sacraments. I have made some friends and in general the people there are very nice.
I did find an orthodox parish eventually, but I can only attend the liturgies once the month when they are on a saturday, because then I can take the bus. I also brought a protestant baptized friend who was interested in orthodoxy to a liturgy. Can I go to the catholic one when I can‘t visit the orthodox one? The saturday liturgies are once the month.

2025.01.26 07:24 Business-Chard-7664 How do you feel when a date turns down your offer to pay for the meal?
I don't like to have men pay for me as I feel it's not fair to them. We barely know each other. We are both students on a budget. Neither of us has a job. It makes sense for everyone to pay for their own. People tell me I am decently attractive. (Gotten interest from men in public and at school). Sometimes dates insist to pay. And I really don't want to let them. But recently I've been told that certain men will feel hurt about it or that I'm not that interested in them/don't trust them enough.

2025.01.26 07:24 SnooDoodles474 Navigating Boundaries and Healing While Living with Family
[Trigger Warning] Discussion of boundary violations, emotional triggers, and family dynamics.
Hi y'all! Self-healer here who actively goes to therapy and is always looking to grow. My intention in writing this is to connect with others meaningfully and positively. I wanted a place where I could reflect while staying anonymous but also be as open and honest about my experience. Just a heads-up—this might be a long post, as it chronicles my feelings and experiences over the past year.
I am an introvert and very private about my life. I have been diagnosed with panic attacks, anxiety, depression, and CPTSD. I am also neurodivergent. Over the last year, I have had to adjust quickly to significant life changes, which has been really difficult for me emotionally and mentally as a neurodivergent person. I was laid off from my job, broke my apartment lease due to mold, moved into an Airbnb temporarily, and then relocated across the country to stay with a relative.
My relative (we'll call her Kelly) offered to let me stay rent-free while I worked on becoming financially stable and finding a job. Making major life decisions is something I never do on a whim. As someone on the spectrum, it takes a lot of energy and time for me to think through every possible avenue. This process is essential to my autonomy and confidence.
It was hard emotionally to decide to move. My closest friends (we'll call them Harry and Sally) from back home helped convince me that it would be a good choice in the long run to help me financially, reminding me that it was only temporary. I cried and thought about it for weeks. Home was where I felt safe. Harry and Sally were my strongest connections, and we saw each other almost weekly. Every time I was around them, I felt grounded and safe.
Over the years, I had done a lot of inner healing work, focusing on my inner child, self-awareness, boundaries, communication, and authenticity. Leaving home was scary because I feared regressing in the progress I had made, and the uncertainty of when I could return weighed heavily on me. Nine months have passed, and my feelings haven't changed much.
I talk to Harry and Sally almost every week, updating each other about our lives. Since I left, I've visited them every couple of months, and we mail each other photos of our shared memories. I have struggled with a personal fear of being forgotten, something I've always been honest and open about in therapy and in my relationships.
During one of my therapy sessions, I shared how much I appreciated Sally and how grateful I was to have a friend who consistently checks in on me despite the distance. I cried, expressing my deepest fear of waking up one day without Sally in my life. I later texted Sally about what I told my therapist in an effort to be vulnerable, and she responded with kindness and reassurance, as she always does.
Since moving in with Kelly, I have tried engaging with the local community by attending pickleball open courts, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I did back home. The people and atmosphere felt different. The desert environment has also made it difficult to enjoy my favorite hobbies, such as paddleboarding, kayaking, camping, and nature walks.
Career-wise, the transition has been challenging. It took me a few months to figure out that I wanted a career that aligned with my values and offered job security. I eventually pursued a certification in Electronic Health Records, knowing that healthcare aligns with my core values. Talking with my close friends, who work in healthcare and education, helped me feel more confident in my decision.
Since being away from home, my motivation to return has been a driving force, helping me manage my depression. I've also been going to the gym daily since the start of the year, finding that physical exercise helps alleviate my depression, even if temporarily.
Now that I've caught up to the present, I want to talk about Kelly. I've known her since I was born and have always loved her. She has good intentions and genuinely wants to help others, especially me. In the beginning, things were great. We laughed and watched Netflix together, and it felt like a "honeymoon stage." But over time, we both fell into our routines. I found myself having to repeatedly set and reinforce boundaries.
Initially, I realized that Kelly struggled with vulnerability and boundaries. I chalked it up to senior moments since Kelly is in her mid-70s, making it difficult to connect with her on a deeper level. I had panic attacks for months from adjusting to my new environment and the withdrawal from home. When I sought support from Kelly, she invalidated my experience by saying I was entitled to some, but not all, of my panic attacks. This response made it harder to be open about my feelings, and I became more intentional about sharing my emotions. It reactivated my old coping skills from when I was a kid—feeling invalidated.
I made efforts to connect with her by inviting her to join me in my hobbies like pickleball, walks, and pottery painting, but she always declined. Eventually, I respected her choices and stopped asking. While I enjoy my own company, the hunger for more meaningful connections and shared experiences worsened over time, making my depression harder to manage.
Over time, things started to feel more challenging. Kelly's codependency, insecurities, lack of respect and understanding of boundaries, low emotional intelligence, and controlling tendencies began to surface. She would criticize aspects of my personality, my need for alone time, and even my appearance. Simple tasks, like grocery shopping, could escalate into emotional outbursts from her. Living with these unpredictable reactions triggered my panic attacks, adding to my emotional fatigue.
To meet my need for solitude and reflection, I booked an Airbnb for a couple of days to recharge. I gave myself the space I needed to meditate, journal, and enjoy some time paddleboarding. This decision triggered Kelly, who made me feel guilty for spending money on myself, stating that I should be saving it. I reminded myself that her reaction was a reflection of her own financial concerns rather than a reflection of my choices.
She made a comment at one point, saying there was something wrong with me and that I needed help. This was during a deep depression when I needed a lot of personal alone time. I wasn’t comfortable expressing my true experience or feelings because she wasn’t comfortable with vulnerability, making it really hard to show myself compassion while feeling chronically alone.
Through therapy, I've realized that Kelly's behaviors stem from her unresolved trauma and people-pleasing tendencies. As a recovering people-pleaser myself, being around such behavior has been particularly challenging. It has resurfaced painful memories from my childhood and made me question whether I was regressing. However, my therapist reassured me that I was doing the best I could.
My coping strategy has been to mindfully separate Kelly's reactions from my own choices and needs. I spend most of my time alone and keep our interactions minimal. It wasn't what I initially wanted, but it's necessary to protect my peace and well-being.
If you've read this far, thank you. I hope sharing my journey resonates with someone out there. I'm always looking to learn and grow from others who might have experienced something similar. How have you managed to maintain your boundaries while living with family?

2025.01.26 07:24 wabashop Has Anyone Tried Reading Infinite Jest Straight Through, Footnotes and All?
I know the book is meant to be read like a tennis match—flipping back and forth from the main text to the footnotes as they appear, and I’ve done that a couple of times in past reads. But I like to experiment with different ways of engaging with it—sometimes reading passages out of order, or even trying to piece together the story chronologically.
Lately, I’ve been wondering if anyone has ever tried reading Infinite Jest straight through from page 1 to 1079, just going through the main text first and tackling all the footnotes at the end in one go. I know it’s not how it’s designed to be read, and you’d lose some of the interplay between the text and footnotes, but I imagine it could offer a different kind of experience—maybe letting the core narrative unfold more smoothly before diving into all the extra details.
If you’ve done multiple reads of the book and have a good grasp of its structure, do you think it would be worth trying? Or would it take away too much from what makes the book so unique?
