Booked solid from 10-6 today. My company switched to a 4 day work week, but kept all of our recurring meetings.

Making your own stuff is more fun than ordering delivery and watching TV while you wait for it to get there

I don't understand how this comment is the gotcha you are looking for, but if you are legitimately trying to understand my view, maybe this will help.

How did the post move? I'm saying Jan 6 looked like a peaceful protest, from what I saw on the news.

And definitely much more peaceful than the other protests that occurred around that time (BLM, South Africa riots).

I just don't understand the vitriol around one vs the other. My point was around perception of an event through the lens of the news. I wasn't there in person; none of us were.

Everyone is fixated on Jan 6 and not talking about the bigger picture - people were generally mad all around, for lots of different reasons, and all demonstrated publicly. Some were violent, some were not.

But from what I SAW ON THE NEWS, the response to Jan 6 seems disproportionate compared to the others.

What I said in the beginning was serious: I wonder if there was legitimately differring coverage of these events. If there are A/B versions of these big events.

Dang, changing a flag? That's pretty scary.

I can think of a few other protests/riots that were a lot more violent and dangerous, that occured in a similar time period in the US, that seem to be all but forgotten...

Burning down city centers, looting from small businesses. Murdering people indiscriminately. It's strange what the online community has fixated on.

I would be willing to bet 85% of the living US population had never heard that word before, let alone used it, until the news told them to do so

Sometimes I wonder if I was watching a different set of events than everyone else that day.

I saw a bunch of people walking through the building like a crowded walking tour. I saw people holding posters and chanting outside. The news anchors were making jokes super lighthearted. I think this was CNN btw.

Then I went to work the next day and people were all freaking out, and everyone had the same term for it: "insurrection." None of us had heard that term before. I would have called it a protest, or a riot.

A mostly peaceful protest.

Just bought armored core! Very excited

Bring it on tbh

Curious: how do they know that? Recorded history is like 5k years right?

Yeah I saw some on 4chan recently. Messed me up for a minute

Gifted and Talented Education program - a very cool conspiracy in and of itself if you want to take a look.

Yep, it's this. They need to increase the limit - my android photos are 3.5mb

Analysis:

Being in someone else's body: This could represent a sense of empathy or a desire to understand others' experiences. It may also suggest a feeling of detachment from your own identity or a need to take on different roles in your waking life.

Gruesome situations: These intense and dangerous scenarios could symbolize challenging or overwhelming experiences you are currently facing. The vivid and gruesome nature of the dreams may reflect your subconscious mind's attempt to process and cope with these difficulties.

Handling tough situations for someone else: This aspect of your dream suggests a sense of responsibility and a willingness to take on burdens for the sake of others. It might indicate your nurturing and caretaking qualities or a tendency to put others' needs before your own.

The medical gauntlet: This could symbolize a feeling of being tested or put through difficult trials in your waking life. The solo tasks within the gauntlet may represent personal challenges or obstacles you must face alone.

Clean, sterile, translucent environment: The pristine and transparent nature of the arena may symbolize a sense of confinement, control, or a lack of authenticity in your current situation. It could suggest a need for more spontaneity, emotional depth, or genuine connections.

Task 1 (inserting the mechanical tail): This task may represent a need to confront uncomfortable or repressed aspects of yourself. The monkey's tail could symbolize primal instincts, impulsiveness, or unchecked desires. The insertion of the tail may symbolize integrating and acknowledging these aspects of yourself.

Task 2 (directing energy): This task could symbolize the need to manage and redirect your emotional or creative energy effectively. It may reflect a desire for self-control or the need to find a healthy outlet for your emotions.

Task 3 (escaping the constricting chamber): The confined chamber and the snake may symbolize feelings of being trapped, restricted, or suffocated by certain circumstances or relationships. Escaping the chamber by manipulating the snake could represent finding creative solutions or breaking free from these constraints.

Task 4 (choosing the right medicine): This task could represent the need to make important decisions or find solutions to problems in your waking life. The drug causing issues may symbolize a disruptive or harmful influence, and choosing the right medicine may reflect your search for a remedy or a way to restore balance.

Overall, the dream seems to depict a series of challenging and uncomfortable situations, suggesting that you may be dealing with difficult circumstances or emotions in your waking life. The dream may be highlighting your resilience, adaptability, and willingness to take on responsibilities for the sake of others. It's important to reflect on these symbols and consider how they relate to your personal experiences and emotions.

...so they say 😉

Thank you! ☺️

Baking - fresh warm bread is so good!

Sewing - it's nice to add pockets to things 😁

Ooh nice! Let me know how it goes.

This seems to fit the bill: SIRUI Camera Monopod AM-326M 6 Section Carbon Fiber Portable Compact Lightweight Travel Monopod

I haven't tried it myself - I just might! I have a tripod but keep forgetting to pack it. Maybe this will be better to stay in the camera bag.

+1 on the bug screens - they are nice!
