also my blog name wasnt to pretend to be you but to make fun of your username because i think "a dose of did reality" (or even a "a DIDose of reality") is funnier than didadoseofreality

genuinely just replace the word DID with "the shot" or something wild and "a dose of reality" can become a really clever pun for antovaxxers. i think if the op is actually an antivaxxer they can steal that idea and try to come up with a better primary title to be followed by the subtitle "a dose of reality" :P

it would all be really silly shouty lies by an old man/woman/erson who's scared of The Furries Oh my Gosh!!! and it's hillarious

all guda related stuff in mahoyo collab

summoning as a highly complicated magecraft -> highly intact sense of self, magical energy, magical crest, sheer willpower........you who is light and equally dark....

casual comments/banter to the people they trust

guda getting shocked of all things at a talking bird www

gudako -> young girl that likes to jog every morning

gudao -> brat that likes small time candy store sweets

UGH the further emphasis on Servants being familiars that no one - not anyone should just use (exceptional...)

stressing the role of a 'Master'

'I also make mistakes a lot'

"I still don't see what's so special about summoning."

guda screams during summons? lmao kind of reminds me of mash with lord camelot

the way guda just refers to other people as 'that another human' www (i know 'person' is more accurate but to me it sounds like an alien in disguise calling someone as 'fellow human' ww)

Of COURSE guda knows how to stop their own pulse

disbelief. perhaps gut feeling. guda's perception of death to others. (i guess in the face of unnatural they would doubt it. but considering Id chapter, it would depend on the person and how theyre closest to?)

'more like tobimaru' 'more like soujyuurou' getting angry on behalf of someone without letting it show as well... i Understand.

THE TOPIC OF AGING KILLS ME. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU ARE HESITANT????? dont yokuwakaranaina ME????

Don't face world-ending disasters alone

IM CRYING OH MY GOD IM NOT WELL "did you sleep well?" "i slept peacefully because the night was quiet and nice" AUGH GUDAAAAA😭

probably nothing of note but additional descriptor to guda is that they look like a college student as compared to previous descriptions of being 'high school student'.......

not being good at horror stories 🥹 reminds me of summer 5...

(unwell) i forget about guda's tactical prowess sometimes (lies) + guda's mention of the looking glass reminds me of berkercas valentines...

Subtle but gudao's reaction to beating down kashin is 'exhausted or relieved' meanwhile for dako she has the 'doubt' in her dialogue

subtle again but theres a hesitance to guda when asked about what the future looked like. but their second option is saying "eh there arent any flying cars anyways"

ahh okay now i know the crypto stuff guda said. its from gudao. is this MHX's influence lmao. gudao youre advertising crypto seriously? ww

guda casually joking about the times they astral project out of their body likes its nothing and mash is not normal either of course and treats it as regular occurrences. well, its regular but for a normal average person in the 21st century, it certainly isnt ww

GUDA ONCE AGAIN PROVING that despite being 'camera' for us players, they actively hide information and i am not over that fact. (knowing who the culprit is before most of the rest-)

guda not hesitating at ALL to rayshift back to 1999 where the end of the world was supposed to happen www

Ah!! To encourage kinomi in confessing, guda confessed their own out in the open!!!

A bakery with the one they love / A wish to reach the South Pole

You may not be able to have all of your dreams, your nights be peaceful, but I hope that you will still be rewarded at the end of your journey 😭

i was curious it you were willing to share how you worked out you had DID and not another dissociative disorder? you talk about the experience differently to what people normally portray and say you generally don't relate to how most people speak about their experiences, so im curious about how you worked out it was a possibility?

(really hoping this doesn't sound like fakeclaiming, that's not at all what I'm trying to do)

No worries, it doesn't sound like fakeclaiming. 👍

Hmmm... This one's hard to answer.

This is mostly speaking from a standpoint of someone who is no longer in an abusive home environment. Although I first started to question it when I was still living with my dad, I don't really have many memories of living there, and I didn't really take it seriously until after moving out.

A LOT of research. An absolute assload of research. Lmfao 😭

Surrounding myself with systems so that I could ask them questions, although this one can also be less helpful and more hurtful. I would stay away from most DID/OSDD-centered Discord servers. I know it sounds weird because I literally own one, but mine is the only good one out there so it's an exception (this is a half-joke 😭)

No, but seriously. A lot of them fucking suck. I have not been in a single good one besides mine throughout my entire years of questioning. This isn't an advertisement to join my server, but yeah 😭

Especially if the server has a lot of minors. It's not a "KiDs ThESe daYS" type of thing, it's more a "a lot of teenagers are highly uneducated about DID and OSDD and many of them tend to gravitate towards the more expected kind of DID presentation, which is. Very unhelpful. For everyone." And other issues too, but yeah, try to stay away from servers with a lot of minors. If you're a minor yourself, I'd say even moreso to try and avoid them if you can.

I recommend the DID/OSDD PsychForums. I still update my own thread every so often. I should've chosen a different username so that I'm not easily noticeable, but I guess it doesn't really matter to me if people figure out what account is mine. It's fairly obvious. If you know and see it, you'll know.

It took me, like, 3 years until I was fully able to really accept that my moods truly are what DID is. It was mostly me asking my therapist a lot "but I'm just always me, I'm always conscious, I'm never just someone else?" And her confirming multiple times that "yes, that is what DID is." Which I know is not very helpful for a lot of people.

I would still be questioning and in doubt if my therapist wasn't able to fully confirm that Yes, These Experiences Really ARE What DID Is.

The hardest part was/is actually trying to relate to the symptoms and such because of how unaware I was/am about my symptoms, and how unrelatable that a lot of the given descriptions of how the symptoms feel for people are.

I have a post in my drafts about what things have helped me and what things have harmed throughout my time questioning, and I'm sure that post would be super helpful when I can finish it one day, might try and see if I can do that later lol

Lots and lots of journaling. It never seems helpful in the moment, but trust me, you will be reading back things you've journaled about and the symptoms will become a lot more apparent.

Just yesterday I was going through my oldest Discord messages between me and an old friend, trying to archive my vents and such mostly, and I was appalled reading how DISTINCTLY different I would be based off of my typing, the things I would talk about, my general personality, and more. I never felt like a different person really, even in these moments when my friends would say I was different, and reading back these messages had me going "who the fuck WAS that HELLO??" 😭

If you use Discord frequently, it can be helpful to look back at old messages and see if you can notice any patterns, or just notice if you're describing any of the symptoms at all. I've been wanting to make a post sharing some of the stuff I've found from old messages where I was perfectly describing things like switching, etc. without even realizing it.

Noticing patterns is the biggest thing. It's the only way I can figure out my alters, is by figuring out patterns of my behaviors, feelings, etc.

It can be easy to dismiss anything and everything as "but that's not DID/not switching/etc. Because (xyz)", but take it from me: no matter how unhelpful you think it is to write something down, do it anyways. Your future self will thank you.

When people told me to try journaling, it frustrated me because I never saw the point because "I always remember the stuff I write down. What's the point? I don't find things I don't remember writing :/" which is still true for the most part, but the thing is, you might write something down and then in the FUTURE read it back and not remember it or not understand it or might notice a pattern, etc. So write shit down! No matter how silly, dumb, unhelpful you think it is.

Also, not sure if this will apply to anyone else, but I sometimes will feel silly/embarrassed/anxious about writing out something, and I have to remind myself that I am the only one who can read these things and I have control over who I may or may not share these things with. If that makes sense? Don't police yourself, kill the cop in your head. Write about anything you want, don't let the cop in your head make you feel cringe or embarrassed or like a bad person for writing certain things. It's okay.

Throw away the community labels. Forget about trying to figure out "do I have OSDD or DID or partial DID or???????-" forget about all of that and just worry about figuring out your experiences.

I wanted to know For Sure whether or not I had DID. I didn't wanna be told "write down your daily symptoms ^w^" I wanted to figure out whether or not I OBJECTIVELY was experiencing the symptoms. At all. Whatsoever. And I didn't know how to do that without having to look super deep trying to see if any of them even applied to me at all in general.

But figuring out your symptoms and experiences is precisely what will help you figure out if you have DID/OSDD.

My dissociative walls have been lessening a lot more precisely because of things like having epiphanies like realizing "oh, I struggle to throw away food when I don't like it/don't want it because growing up I wasn't allowed to jot eat food I didn't want or didn't like and I was shamed for it. I had to go to lengths to hide me trying to discard my food growing up, even going as far as flushing it down the toilet." And then giving myself permission to discard food I don't want and don't like.

Small things like that. Making realizations. They seem unhelpful and dumb in the moment, but they go a long way.

The biggest thing is this: You will figure things out with time. Be patient. Don't push yourself to know everything so soon. I kept expecting myself to have had it "figured it out by now", but it takes time. It takes a lot of time. Time will pass quickly and you will feel as if you made no progress, but time will pass and you will figure out things you didn't realize before.

There's definitely more helpful advice out there, but that's all I got.

People will also say symptom tracking as in "figure out when you dissociate; figure out your flashbacks; etc." But I still don't know how to tell what flashbacks are and I can't tell you if I'm dissociating, so my advice ends here 💀

Im probably gonna get a lot of hate. Im probably gonna get death threats in my ask box (again. Yes Im looking at you "kill the soldiers" anon. Speaking of which, anon will be OFF until this post stops getting notifs. Block me if you don't want to see any other opinions than you own, because I'm allowed to have them.)

Rest of PSA is below the cut. TW for mention of death threats and possible cussing.

But we do NOT need to send death threats, things with smutty themes, etc. Into a celebrities ask box all because they're gonna be on this site.

They're people just as much as we are. If you don't like them, theres a handy-dandy feature called "blocking and moving on". Not writing rude messages. Not saying "Blazing a post is a pvp attack". (Because god forbid an artist use a feature to be seen)

I understand not wanting big corps to make their way on Tumblr. Believe me, I do. However Tumblr's advertising (or at least on mobile) is easilly skippable/you can scroll past or actually look at the ad if its somewhat interesting.

Also, Tumblr sells shoelaces for 19 dollars. That should only be like three dollars, but it shows that it really does need the money. (@indigoartistqueen mentioned that, along with other various things in this article) Such as paying programmers to create new features. Paying artists to create new logos and themes. paying the employees that check out the reports. (which I am rlly sorry for them bc I just so happen to keep finding really rude comments or things shipping an 8 year old with an 1000 year old.)

So, if tumblr got a little more money, then merch will cost less. Features will cost less. You can crab someone for less for goodness sakes. (Speaking if which, if you REALLY hate a celeb that badly, run them off with crabs.) But tumblr, just like any other site and app, NEEDS money to keep it running.

Also, don't you think SOME form of algorithm will be good? Or at least better search results? Because artists do tend to use very different tags. (Like memes, funny, lmao, lol, etc.) All that could be grouped under "Funny" so that people can actually find and search for their content easier.

Not to mention that with the way the tumblr staff are, I highly doubt they're gonna be implementing things that will cause a riot from their supporters, like the algorithm, bc the blogs ARE the algorythm, reblogging stuff they like to spread it out.

But just a better tagging system! i myself have stopped posting art as much because I just DON'T get seen! People just don't like or reblog my work, but if I were to blaze it, I would suddenly have 1,000 notes full of threats and "this is a pvp attack. Everybody block on sight."

Now, getting back to the celebrity thing. So many people have said that they don't want any political opinions to divide this site. Well I'd hate to break it to you, but we have, in some form, a type of political dispute. Usually its over the type of view one should have on a fiction character. How you can interpret them. What headcanons are correct. Which fandoms better. Which characters hotter. I could go on over the disputes! Plus the political side of tumblr! Science side of tumblr! Religous site on tumblr!

It never ends! If you don't like a celebrity, DON'T SEND DEATH THREATS TO THEIR ASK BOX! Some will actually commit it! Instead, BLOCK. THEM. It's easy! Don't pay attention to it! Just block them. If you really don't like them, send a cursed image, like I don't know, Patrick Star in stripper heels! A perfect circle thats slightly off! Do NOT send threats, because they're humans just like you! (Or as a Fairy myself, xenogenders as well)

Point is, quit trying to run celebrities off this site all because you're afraid of contriversal opinions that you don't agree with! Just block them! It's there for a reason! It's not like roblox where you can only block 100 people total!

Use the block feature. Don't fight fire with fire. It will ONLY get worse. You don't see firemen using flamethrowers, do you??? No! Please for the LOVE OF WHOEVER OR WHATEVER YOU BELIEVE IN quit spreading hate! It only makes things worse! You're only making yourself worse! Just because tumblr is an anonymous site does not mean you can do whatever you want... Because guess what? There's other humans right behind that post you just saw! (Unless its a bot ofc, that's a different story for another time)

Respectfully, have a good day. If you don't like my opinion, block me. If you send me a threat, I'll block and report you.

groguj23 asked:

Hi Rainbow 🌈 Love your blog.Hope you have good weekend. Have you heard about [redacted]? I came across and they were talking about Born To Fly in their topic . Nothing much about DD but more about the production. Do you think this will effect the international release of the film and DD reputation.🤔 May I ask what is your view on this. 🙏

Hi Groguj23!

Thanks so much for your kind words, I'm glad you're enjoying my blog!

Sorry, I removed the name from your ask because I don't want to advertise those clowns.

No, I don't think any random team of obscure internet pundits can impact DD's film or reputation.

HOWEVER I think it's important for fans to understand that some of the projects GG and DD are involved with, once they have an international release, are going to come under heavy critique from some people (just as projects, ideas and stories from the West are often heavily critiqued in China). These two regions are constantly at odds with each other and often treat each other as their #1 enemy.

There is also a huge amount of Sinophobia in the West, and that will always color how Chinese projects are received.

There is also the fact that many of these projects are propagandistic in nature and present things in a certain light, and/or serve a bigger communications purpose than entertainment alone. There is a political angle, a messaging angle, that we should be conscious of when viewing such projects.

Born to Fly is a perfect example of this, given its subject matter as a military propaganda film. The planes featured in the film are the same ones that have been harassing and threatening Taiwanese airspace for months.

Turtles should be prepared to see this film ripped apart in Western media. It's just the way things are fairly likely to go.

Would that negatively impact DD's reputation or career? I highly doubt it. Those who are savvy to the political situation will understand that DD is operating within a system that is outside his control, and he has a right to star in a film about his country's military just as Tom Cruise has a right to star in that unwatchable dreck, Top Gun Maverick.

Those who aren't savvy are often bigoted or misinformed, and nothing DD or any other Chinese person could do would ever be acceptable to them. Their opinions don't matter.

The main factor likely to impact DD's reputation with most international film-goers is whether the film is any good. Is it fun to watch, does it tell an interesting story, are the characters compelling? Does DD give a good performance, even if all those other elements are weak or lacking, and even if the entire project is politically offensive to Western audiences?

I have faith in DD's talent and commitment, but a film is a team project. If the direction is bad, if the script is bad, if the production is bad, no amount of talent or skill on DD's part will save it.

DD is an actor. Every actor takes risks when choosing projects. Every actor is subject to the whims and interests of audiences. Some reviews will be bad, some will be good. We need to accept that and just support him as best we can.

Turtles need to develop a thick skin and understand that the more famous GG and DD become - the more they are placed in front of broader audiences - the more criticism they will inevitably face. Having one's performances and projects ripped to shreds is just part of being an actor. Everyone should prepare themselves ahead of time, and understand that not everyone is going to love them or love their projects as much as you or I might.

And in this particular case, any criticism will likely be about politics, and will have very little to do with DD as a person or as an actor.

Hopefully the movie will be good and will be well-received. If it's not, don't take it personally or allow yourself to be rattled by it. DD will be just fine. This is just one film among many he will make.

The next one to be released after Born to Fly is One and Only - a film I suspect will be much more accessible/palatable to international audiences. So even if Born to Fly is heavily critiqued internationally (and we don't yet know how that's going to play out so there's no sense worrying about it), any stain on DD will likely be short lived.

I'd also caution fans not to get an inflated sense of the importance of international audiences to DD's career. It's the Chinese audiences that will have the real impact. International audiences for a project like this are miniscule compared to those within China. Chinese audiences are the ones who will be determining DD's success or failure as a film star.

Who’s your Unsounded oc from that post you reblogged a while back, if you don’t mind my asking? (In case you don’t remember, it’s originally from unsoundedcomic and starts with “Do you ever see any OCs for your comic?”)

I think it’s you at least. It’s described as “ Cassie’s OC,” you have “Cassie” on your profile thing, and the oc mostly “exists to be smooched on by Lemuel,” so it’s a pretty safe bet I’d say.

Bless you, anon, for assuming that I am ever forgetting that ask. Also for giving me the benefit of the doubt and thinking that there is more than one Lemuel obsessed Cassie with an OC to smooch Lem. You're a gem.

The fic that Ashley referenced in that ask that she answered is this one, which I entered in the Unsounded fanfic contest back in 2018. It is not even remotely my best work, and I really just threw my hat in the ring because, after reading the comic for so long and loving it so much, I just wanted to contribute.

There are other fics I've written, too, which can be found here. Ironically, my favorite fic that I wrote is A'den, which is a Star Wars crossover.

Oh!  And my friend @hermdoggydog actually wrote a fic for the 2021 Unsounded fanfic contest using Addilyn!  That can be found here.

But, anyway, yeah that's me lmao. And I'm about to bore you to tears.

Her name is Addilyn Theron—Addie for short. She's a semon woman in the Lions of Mercy under Lemuel's command.

Here, please see this dollmaker rendition I made of her some months ago:

Please know that I play fast and loose with the rules of the Unsounded world (especially Alderode) in order to have my fun.

So, as a semon, Addilyn is a part of the lowest caste, as well as the most numerous one. She came from a shitty family of thieves and ne'er-do-wells, and she didn't really have many options open to her. She knew that she was doomed to a life of crime or a destitute existence in a whore house (or perhaps even an early grave) if she didn't find a way to claw her way out of there.

So, she turned to the Council Army.

Now, I am very aware that Alderode is a highly patriarchal society and deeply misogynistic. Please do not judge me.

But anyway, my reasoning for making this work is that she probably lived in some town close to the border with Cresce, so the Council Army would be less inclined to be picky when recruiting from those towns. Especially where the semon caste was concerned. Yeah, she's a woman, but whatever. She'll probably be dead in a week anyway. And the semon breed like rats, right? She'll hardly be missed. At least it's one more body to throw at Cresce.

So they turned their heads and allowed her to sign up.

Well, it turned out that she was actually rather good at soldiering. She grew up rough and had rudimentary fighting abilities, and she had good instincts when it came to carrying out orders most effectively (and also how best not to die).

Addilyn lasted far longer than she should have, but managed to skirt under the radar for the most part. She didn't advertise her gender, but it was a mostly open secret. She'd kept enough of the men she fought with alive to keep them from giving her too much trouble.

But one day she wound up saving the son of some Copper politician whose vliegeng ride was shot down by Crescian forces. The lad lost a leg, but was otherwise alive. His father was incredibly grateful, and offered Addilyn any favor she wished.

And so she asked for the impossible: to join the Lions of Mercy.

Her Copper benefactor made it happen, but no one was happy about it. The brass knew they couldn't exactly tell him no, but they were determined to make this blow up in Addilyn's face. Who could they give her to? How best to either get her killed within a few months, or have her desert and put her head on a pike?

Give her to that new soud captain, they decided. He'll either get her killed (because soud always fuck up in the end, just like the semon), or he'll drive her to abandon her post and they can string her up for desertion.

Well, long story short, that doesn't happen. Lem hates this at first, and hates being saddled with this obvious attempt to oust him in some capacity. But Addilyn is good at this, and turns out to be not only a good soldier, but a good friend.

And, of course, that leads to Feelings. Because I'm disgusting.

This obviously sucks for Lem, because it was never part of his fratricidal plans to actually have feelings for someone. And boy does he feel the agony in his folly.

Aaaaaand, that's her! I've never actually had to publicly talk about her, only my closest friends have dealt with my self-indulgent ramblings, so boy do I feel exposed! But, yeah, there she is, in all of her cringe glory.

Thank you for asking!

If Jensen already has a lock on Amazon (or Max, as some of the AAs are saying because of the listings), then why did he come on and make a tweet to amplify their renewal campaign? (Also, side quest to say congrats to Jared and attempt good sportsmanship.) I'm thinking his lock is locked yet, even if the kids over there told people things were 100%

So true! If TW was nearly a sure thing, I highly doubt network execs are going to request that the producer ignite the fan base so they could see what kind of support it has. It's all about profitability. They can trend the hashtag as #1 all they want, but TW went over-budget, went way over their filming deadline, and failed to meet advertiser expectations. Even if a network were interested, I have a hard time believing any of the bit-time investors would stick around for a 2nd season.

Jared knows what executives are looking for and it isn't begging the fans to save the show. He's out there doing it himself!

I find it interesting we're getting so many pictures of jimin working with different producers/artists, a lot of people are using it to say he needs big names to get good songs or whatever but I highly doubt any of the others will be producing and writing their own songs, but I do also wonder why we don't see any other member working with outside producers? Perhaps they just don't want to or perhaps they don't want to spoil it or something and are asking them not to post pictures? who knows

At this point, I think that regardless what Jimin does or doesn't, there will always be some sort of complaint, either subtle or direct. Not that I'm saying you're doing exactly that, but ever since this trend of photos started, it is regarded with suspicion by some people and always compared to how the rest of the group are working.

I think what we need to bear in my mind is that they are in the period of solo albums and each has their own way of conducting their business, how they work and whom they choose to work with. If in Jimin's case, one way of marketing his solo path for the moment is to have it promoted at first by the producers he works with, then so be it. There is no right option and a wrong one here. If another X member is not doing the same, than that's him.

Other members could work with outside producers, but they don't advertise it. BTS has worked with plenty of outside producers as a group before. It's also a common practice in not only K-Pop, but in other music industries as well. The Swedish definitely made their mark with their producers and lyricists and you find their work in Backstreet Boys songs, to the latest K-Pop bop.

Last but not least, a solo album reflects the individual and what is their purpose with it. And it's not just the idea of releasing their first solo music. It's about the significance of it. Hobi's album means something to him, which was reflected in how it was made. Same with RM now, Jin, Jimin and the others who will follow.

GOOD NEWS

You recently applied to change [REDACTED]'s: registered office address service address The company has not changed its registered office address / service addresses / principal office addresses. We have also not received sufficient evidence that the registered office address is appropriate, or that the company has permission to use the address as a service address / principal office address. As a result, we’ve changed the addresses to a default address at Companies House. We have also administratively removed any reference to the addresses from the document image displayed on our website. We will write to the company to let them know we’ve changed the address.

MY ADDRESS IS FINALLY REMOVED FROM THAT FRAUDULENT BUSINESS

However the potentially bad news:

The company has the right to appeal this decision through the court.

But given they didn't change their address to anything in a 2 week period they were told to, I highly doubt its going to go to court.

Honestly, i have no idea what the person who did this was trying to achieve?? Aside from the original filing, theres just no evidence of this company on the internet. I can only assume theyre doing physical advertising only, taking money, no showing their clients and using a fake address to make sure they can just take the money and run? Because nothing else makes sense to me!

Ads Be Gone

It was only a matter of time. Just when you thought you couldn’t handle another subscription to anything, two social media giants are moving in that direction. TikTok is now experimenting with an ad-free plan, while Meta—owner of Facebook and Instagram—is considering a similar move in Europe.

Basically, this is an example of the freemium business model we see in apps. Lure people in with the free version which is laden with ads, and then offer them an upgraded experience without the ads. In terms of social media, LinkedIn has offered its premium version since 2006, but that site is more about professional networking and finding a job. It kind of doesn’t count.

The question is whether people will now pay to enjoy their favorite social media sites ad-free, which have become increasingly cluttered with highly-targeted adverts. As I scroll my Insta account this morning, I am seeing a “Sponsored” item every fourth post.

Now before you scoff too much, consider that in a standard 30-minute time slot on linear television, only 21.5 minutes is the actual show. The rest—28.3% of the time—is for commercials. Statistically, Instagram is mirroring what we see on TV, but instead of concentrated commercial breaks, they spread them consistently and predictably across our feed.

On the other hand, it is fun to recall the early days of social media, when there was no advertising at all. That, unfortunately, does not a revenue model make. I’m pretty sure that Mark Zuckerberg, once he got over the initial euphoria of having created a platform that would help him meet young women on the Harvard campus, no longer ran the site out of the goodness of his heart.

I also have to wonder if by offering premium ad-free versions on social media as well as our streaming services, that we might be doing a disservice to the advertisers. After all, in our subscription-saturated existence, it makes sense that only those who can afford the upcharge are doing so. These might be highly-qualified potential customers, but now the advertisers cannot reach them.

A more sobering thought is how little we are actually worth to a site like TikTok, where for $5 a month users can clear all the ads from their feed. That comes out to 16.7 cents a day that each of us is worth in terms of otherwise lost advertising revenue. Let that sink in. Feeling down and worthless today? Well, this news won’t help.

In comparison, one 30-second ad during the Super Bowl costs about $7 million. With 115 million viewers, that means advertisers are paying $0.06 to reach each one of us. Multiply that across all the advertisers ponying up that kind of money over a four-hour period, and suddenly our individual net worth just exploded. There are typically about 100 ads in each Super Bowl, or 50 minutes’ worth. At current rates, that means each of us is collectively worth about $6.

Feel any better now?

I have no doubts that some users will opt for the ad-free versions of TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram. But even if the numbers are low, it really doesn’t cost them much if anything to at least offer the option. They might even make a few more bucks.

I suspect that most of us, though, are suffering from subscription fatigue, and that few will hand over their credit card. We just deal with the ads, and even though their presence everywhere has been noticed and become a bone of contention, it’s OK. We have our own defense mechanisms, having learned long ago how to block them out mentally.

Just keep scrolling.

I've also looked at where this water comes from - and the controversy surrounding the brand's claims in this regard. 📌 Key Takeaways: - I think that the Poland Spring brand is good, but not the best. - This water tastes pleasant and is relatively affordable, but there have been arguments that the water source isn't natural springs, as claimed by the brand. - A better spring water alternative is Mountain Valley Spring Water, while Aquafina is our preferred affordable bottled filtered water. Alternatively, filter your water at home to have complete control over what it contains. 🔎 Is Poland Spring Good Water? In our opinion, Poland Spring water is good, but it's certainly not the best. We judge the quality and overall "good-ness" of a water product by its taste, source, contaminants, and value for money. Poland Spring water tastes pleasant due to its natural mineral content, but it doesn't have the freshness or crispness of a more expensive bottled spring water product. Plus, there has been some controversy over the source of Poland Spring water, and I highly doubt that it's 100% natural spring water. This makes us question the water quality and the value for money of this mid-priced product. 🤔 Where Does Poland Spring Water Come From? Poland Spring water comes from several different sources in Maine. The obvious source is the Poland Spring in Poland, Maine. Water is also sourced from the Garden Spring in the same region, as well as Cold Springs in Denmark, Spruce Spring in Pierce Pond Township, Clear Spring in Hollis, White Cedar Spring in Dallas Plantation, Evergreen Spring in Fryeburg, and Bradbury Spring in Kingfield. There has been some debate over the legitimacy of Poland Spring's marketing in the past. Nestlé, the company that owns Poland Spring, was sued for false advertising back in 2003, due to claims that its "spring" water was actually heavily treated common groundwater. The same lawsuit stated that Nestlé's hired hydro-geologists found that one of Poland Spring's water sources stood over a former refuse pit, amongst other disturbing claims. Nestlé never admitted to these allegations and the lawsuit was settled later in the year, on the grounds that the company made significant charitable donations over the next 5 years. Nestlé faced another lawsuit in August 2017, this time due to claims that its water doesn't comply with the Food and Drug Administration definition of "spring water". This was supported by evidence that Poland Spring in Poland, Maine, actually ran nearly dry half a century ago. The company attempted to dismiss the lawsuit, but in April 2019, a US District Court judge allowed the case to go forward in 8 states. The case for Vermont didn't go forward because it has a different definition of “spring water” than the FDA’s. I couldn't find any updates on the case since 2019. Why is it such a big deal where Poland Spring water comes from? Technically, it isn't. Many bottled waters on our shelves are nothing fancier than municipal water, including groundwater, and there's certainly no rule that says bottled water has to be spring water. The problem is in the marketing. Nestlé has marketed Poland Spring water as "100% natural spring water", which has led to claims that the company has frauded customers into overpaying for a "premium" water source, when the reality is that the water is apparently just treated groundwater - the same water that many states use as their drinking tap water. ⚖️ Pros And Cons Of Poland Spring Water Controversy aside, let's weigh up the pros and cons of drinking Poland Spring water: Pros - Poland Spring bottled water has a fresh, pleasant taste thanks to its natural mineral content. - The rPET bottles used for this water product are virtually BPA-free. - You can find Poland Spring drinking water in almost every store. It has good availability and is cheaper than premium bottled waters. - Like any drinking water, you can drink Poland Spring bottled water to stay hydrated and quench your thirst. Cons - There are arguments that the famous Poland Spring that gives the water its name actually ran dry nearly 50 years ago. The brand has since updated its marketing to say that the Poland Spring source is no longer used, but water flows naturally into the historic spring house (which is open to visitors). - There are also claims that "not one drop" of Poland Spring water emanates from the actual regulatory definition of a natural spring. - The moderate pricing seems a bit steep, all things considered. You can find cheaper bottled water that uses a public water source. ✅ Is Poland Spring Water Worth It? In our opinion, no, Poland Spring water isn't worth it. There's too much controversy surrounding this bottled spring water company. If you're looking for natural spring water, avoid the Poland Spring brand and choose a bottled water product that has a genuine source. Your money can be better spent elsewhere! 🔂 Alternatives To Poland Spring Water Here, I've shared a few of our favorite alternatives to Poland Spring water, for folks looking for a good bottled spring water product, an affordable water alternative, or the best method of filtering water at home. Natural Spring Water: Mountain Valley Spring Water If you enjoy the taste and quality of bottled spring water, our top recommendation for you is Mountain Valley Spring Water. I love this water because it's naturally filtered as it flows through granite-based aquifers, picking up calcium, magnesium, and potassium, in the source location of the Ouachita Mountains in Little Rock, Arkansas. Plus, importantly (though this should be a given), I could find no controversy around the validity of the water source for this product. Affordable Bottled Water: Aquafina Aquafina water never pretends it's anything it isn't: it's purified water that's obtained from public water supplies. I'd argue whether any bottled water product can really be considered "cheap", but Aquafina is more affordable than most due to its municipal source. However, the water is cleaner and purer than normal tap water due to its reverse osmosis water purification process, which removes the majority of dissolved solids. Filtered Water At Home: Clearly Filtered Water Pitcher I think the best way to avoid drinking contaminated water is to stay away from all bottled water companies and filter your water at home. Filtering your water at home is more cost-effective than sustaining a bottled water habit, and it also gives you more control over what your water contains. It doesn't matter where your tap water comes from - the importance is how you treat it. You can choose to remove the contaminants you're most concerned about, purify your water completely, add healthy minerals, and boost your water's alkalinity. It's your choice. We recommend the Clearly Filtered Water Pitcher for anyone who's just dipping their toe into the world of water filtration. This affordable pitcher removes 300+ contaminants, including lead, chlorine, fluoride, VOCs, heavy metals, PFAS, and much more, while retaining the healthy minerals naturally present in your water. Continue Reading: - 's Best Bottled Water Ranked and Reviewed - Where Does Bottled Water Really Come From? - Is Your Water Bottle a Breeding Ground for Germs? ❔ FAQ How safe is Poland Spring bottled water? Poland Spring bottled water is, as far as I can tell, safe to drink. While the Poland Spring brand Nestlé has come under fire for "deceiving customers" about its water source, there is no evidence to suggest that Poland Spring water products contain dangerous contaminants with health risks. Is Poland Spring real spring water? No, according to a class action lawsuit, Poland Spring water isn't real spring water - it's actually just treated groundwater (which is also used for various municipal water supplies). If you're specifically looking for drinking water sourced from a natural cold spring, you're best looking at other bottled water brands. Is Poland Springs purified water? No, I couldn't find evidence to suggest that Poland Spring water is purified - either naturally or artificially - before bottling. However, like all groundwater sources, the water is naturally filtered by rocks and soils as it seeps underground, and the water is apparently treated with ozone disinfection to ensure it's safe from microorganisms. Is Poland Spring water high quality? Poland Spring water is moderate quality. It's groundwater, so it's better protected against pollution than surface water, and has a higher natural mineral content. However, like most drinking water sources, the water may still contain low levels of contaminants, so while it's safe enough to drink, it probably isn't contaminant-free. Read the full article

If you know precisely how, you can gain commissions plus support build your own business at typically the same time. Cease allowing the HOGS to steal money a person. But just what if YOU may turn the desks and keep all those repeat sales yourself? There is a fresh secret technique My partner and i have never observed used before of which does exactly of which for you... really brilliant and ZERO affiliate marketer must be without it. My personal private inner group of friends knows this key. I want an individual to are aware of it as well. Listen up. Typically the FIX is throughout! A Guru key you didn't recognize existed. Naturally, most of the large product launch Gurus are in entire communication with every other and usually schedule their item launches on date ranges that will not overlap their own buddy's product kick off. A few of these guys are really part of a non-public "buddy" club that dominates a large part of the Internet Marketing community. They are very mindful about scheduling item launches as NOT to put pressure on every other's toes. After that in between their product launches they will promote other firm products for huge commissions. It's beneficial since they can promote their product plus promote each other artists product using their own list; thus suck much more money from the head. Make sense? That they systematically suck as much cash from the FLOCK while humanly possible and on a consistent base. Are you upset yet? All of these marketing strategies are not necessarily random events instructions it's all cautiously planned and choreographed as much as possible. Flock sama dengan desperate "unsuspecting" Internet Marketing Dreamers. When you've not been lifestyle inside a cave, well then you've obviously noticed the particular "Gurus" and even their followers are calling such occasions; PRODUCT LAUNCHES, perfect? This method typically the Gurus (Hogs) use is really not a new trick : coach anyone how to around regarding years in other elements of business. This is how it works. The alliance of several "Gurus" are produced - all together with massive lists. These types of massive lists will hold millions of serious buyers of Internet Marketing products. In some communities this would be called an market MONOPOLY - and even it could always be deemed as unfair, unethical and probably illegal. Will the name "Birds of lower flock together" tone familiar? Ever question why almost all of the big launch products (courses) are priced the particular same? Usually concerning $1, 997. Can this be cost fixing? hmmmm... let's take a not think nasty thoughts here. (smile) Magical, huh? Coincidental? No matter precisely what you think... it is rather ingenious, don't a person think? Again, right now there is nothing completely wrong with earning earnings, but when is enough - enough? Typically the flock becomes only useful paying dummies to the Authorities. Sure, the Experts say they appreciate their "sheep-like" customers - but perform they really? I actually mean does "he" really care should you build a multi-million dollar business such as his? hmmmm... My partner and i think not. We don't have the power to stop the gravy train for the HOGS instructions and I more than likely want to, nevertheless I could at least warn people before they fall victim to their tiger traps. Most of these types of HOGS quickly gouge unsuspecting prospects because they do certainly not know how long typically the people (sheep) may buy into their own Bull Crap. Therefore, their concept will be; Strike fast and strike often - Strike while the iron is SIZZLING!! Have you seen every one of the product starts within one particular Guru "buddy" team? Every 3rd or 4th week one other Guru or some HOG launches a fresh item? Let me question you a question. Have any of these fancy abundant slobbering HOGS manufactured YOU wealthy but? I am hoping so, nevertheless I doubt this! I don't indicate to keep rubbing this particular in the face due to the fact I am aware you're almost certainly very upset not really earning all the big money you have been promised. You have a right to be mad. Here's the helpful hint... TAKE NOTE: This is a new secret you must know: Peek within the hood of additional super affiliate web pages to find out what's working ahead of you go live. Steal the very best headlines and keywords and phrases to guarantee large commissions. Why conduct https://youwould.carrd.co/ - it's recently been done. Let's Get Real... Here's the bold truth! Exactly how Do The Hogs Wildly Succeed And Why Do these cards In no way Want You to definitely Succeed or At Minimum NOT Very Quickly? "Are you sick plus tired of listening to how "easy" that is to create MEGA bucks on the web, but can't discover one to tell an individual EXACTLY how to accomplish? Well, there is usually a basis for this. Think that about it. Most likely being piece mealed to death! In case enough of the "students" really discovered every one of the true strategies or perhaps the exact tips that opens typically the doors to accomplishment, then the Hogs would create excessive competition too rapidly plus Internet Advertising coaching "HOGS" might earn less money in the long manage. Their income would likely have to rely on nothing but naive newbies who by accident stumble to their net? Make sense? THEY NEED TO STRING YOU ALONG FOR A YR OR TWO. The Gurus must usually leave you wanting more! The Gurus plus HOGS request 100s sometimes thousands of dollars for their particular "can't live without" Website marketing courses : inside the course that they give you sufficient information so you can make an additional small step, in that case about a couple weeks afterwards his buddy, which is also the HOG, launches their "can't succeed without" Online marketing product -- he enthusiastically throws that you simply few bone tissues of content plus you're still still left NOT knowing just what to do after that, nevertheless, you did " forward so you're happy but even so earning not more than a displaced man. Does this all sound familiar? I'm sure it does!

Blogging vs. YouTube — Which One Should You Start in 2022?

by DUO DIGITAL

Blog vs. video blog: A blog or a YouTube channel—which is superior? Which one would be more profitable as a business and which one should you start as an entrepreneur? If these questions have been keeping you up at night, you’re in the correct spot.

This article provides information on current events, data on blogging and YouTube businesses, and suggestions for starting a profitable business on either platform.

We think the entire blogging community is doing themselves a disservice by ignoring their youtube channel and vice versa.

As a result, I’ve written this essay explaining how you should utilize each platform to develop a highly lucrative internet business.

Yes, I do both. I run my own prosperous blog and upload content to YouTube. As a result, I’ll also provide you with blogging advice that works.

When it comes to launching these internet businesses from scratch, YouTube is without a doubt the winner. This is because setting up a channel costs nothing, in contrast to setting up a blog, which costs money for web hosting and a domain name.

But, Let’s review this in Detail.

Which One Turns a Profit Quicker? YouTube or blogging?

Beginners who want to start making money online quickly and create content frequently ask me this question.

Should you create a YouTube video and hope for affiliate link hits, or should you master search engine optimization and publish a blog post that ranks on Google and receives millions of views over time?

They both have the potential to be financially successful, so the answer to this question is yes. However, I believe that YouTube is more likely to generate income quickly than blogging.

This is because posting video content on YouTube makes it much simpler to rank there.

Since your YouTube material will rank at the top of the search results for the first 72 hours, you don’t require viral videos.

When this occurs, your intended audience will search YouTube for your particular video.

After that, you can include affiliate links in your YouTube description box to direct viewers to digital goods and services.

That makes a significant difference in how much money you can make via YouTube. On the other hand, blogging doesn’t really need you to put on a face or provide video content (At least in the beginning)

However, blogging is the way to go if you’re in it for the long haul and want to create a long-lasting internet business. 

Why? Because a successful blog can make money from advertising, affiliate marketing, and the selling of digital products and services.

If you have a YouTube channel, you technically don’t have complete control over your audience because YouTube has the authority to stop supporting it at any time.

This is something that many YouTubers have previously encountered, therefore in the long term, I think blogging is a much safer investment.

Result: YouTube

YouTube is the obvious winner in this scenario because you don’t need to spend money on it. YouTube videos can help you increase visitors and sales FASTER.
