I think the key to escaping is not trying to be clever, think/justify/negotiate your way out of it, but just operate in a frame that you are in command and deciding not to come back.

I've spent the last year pondering this extensively and reading various texts (old and new) and it seems that the answer is simpler and more intuitive. Just decide that whoever you meet on the other side does not have authority over you.

I think this is what the Gnostics meant by Gnosis = knowing. I would post this theory over in r/Gnostic for discussion but I was banned there for suggesting that Sofia may not have our best interests at heart, I suspect she (of whatever entity holds her characteristics) also wants us here, at least until some impossible task is complete like universal human enlightenment, etc.

Is getting stressed out by 2-factor-authentication (2FA) an autism thing?

Sounds dumb, but whenever I have to sign into something that requires 2FA, the interruption of work flow can be extremely distracting and derail me for 60-90 minutes. This sucks because it's becoming more common, especially for medical.

I find it discouraging that I have built up a massive list of things I want to do, read, see, etc. that I can’t possibly do in a lifetime, how do you manage this?

Especially when it seems like most of my time and energy is put into making money so that I can later have time to do this, so I basically spend my whole life (hardly) saving for a day that may never come, getting older, and just adding to an endless queue of items I know I can never possible accomplish. I think maybe I can use AI to prioritize parts of it, but that assumes a level of time in money that isn’t accessible right now.

I never entered my CC info nor agreed to a "paid" package, why does it show I used $$?

Is this just them letting me what they gave me for free? Will it stop before I'm actually billed?

how come you can export to mp3 in elevenlabs but not reader?

I'm on a paid plan, I was hoping I could export more to mp3, it just works better with my workflow.

How can I get a Sonata (zaleplon) prescription online?

It's the only one that works for me. None of the online clinics seem to offer it? TBH everything else is bullshit. I got an Rx a few years ago in a hospital in another state and then did not continue it so I don't have a relationship with them and can't get an Rx from them (I've tried), and I don't have a job so haven't seen a doctor outside emergencies. I just want a Sonata prescription wtf..

Is it possible to query just your X bookmarks using an LLM?

As in, I want to use an LLM that only review my bookmarks.

I thought Grok would've built in this feature, but apparently not.

Claude web is consistently not reading pasted text when it's too long...work around is uploading the same text as markdown file

kinda annoying. but I've noticed consistently over the last week, that when I paste a large enough block of text (mind you it's about ~200 lines, nothing crazy) that it gives it it's own block icon, it will simply not read anything beyond the first 1-2 lines. At least it's admitting it can't read the rest though instead of making it up. My work around has been to paste the text into a text document, save as markdown and then upload. Fine for now, but still annoying. Using Opus 4.8 max.

Privacy-friendly screen blockers for macOS?

Hi all, does anyone know of a privacy-friendly screen or app blocker for macOS?

I like the idea of ScreenZen: adding friction before opening distracting sites or apps, making me pause, set intentions, and so on. But I’d feel more comfortable with an open-source tool, or at least one that is very clear about what it monitors.

My main concern is that blockers have to watch what apps or sites I open, and I don’t want that data leaving my device or being used for analytics.

Any recommendations for open-source or local-only macOS blockers?

SCHWAB needs an MCP. All the cool brokers are doing it now. Not necessarily for executing trades, but for "talking to the market"

The dev tools on SCHWAB need to catch up ASAP.

Has anyone watched The OA? Would you recommend it?

I haven’t seen The OA yet, but I’ve heard it deals with near-death experiences, alternate realities, escaping this reality, and possibly some prison planet-adjacent themes.

For anyone who’s watched it, would you recommend it? Do you think it connects to ideas like reincarnation traps, hidden knowledge, or escaping the system, or is that a stretch?

If not, are there any other good shows/movies (I've already seen: Dark City, Matrix, Truman Show)

I added some connectors / MCPs in Claude Code: these won't leak my chat data right?

I assume not, but I see that these connectors required a web authentication, and are visible in regular Claude now. It's confusing because in Claude Code you don't see your regular Claude chats, but it seems the connectors persist in both environments. I just want to make sure I won't accidentally commit to github other chats lol.

For those rate 100% PT: how long did it take you?

Obviously 100% PT is an unfortunate way to live, but many of us with lower ratings believe we have the evidence to support it, and are in the process of claiming it etc.

For those who do rate it, how long from your first ITF to your 100% PT did it take? Off hand it seems like usually this takes several years and a few rounds of supplemental claims or appeals.

Looking for encouragement since I’m in the thick of it now 🙏

Is it possible to create and print a bunch of FedEx envelope labels that are date agnostic?

I work with a client that has to FedEx me documents on a regular basis. Generally, what I do is generate a label for them online, email them the PDF and they print it. However, what I’d prefer to do is mail them a dozen or so printed labels (on sticker labels) and just have them use those as needed. But I noticed that you can only create labels for shipments a few weeks out.

Basically I’d like to give them a year supply of physical labels at once. is there a way to do this?

Confusion: Claude Web, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Claude Code Web???

It seems like Claude Web and Claude Desktop share the same projects and chats; but then Claude Code is local to the desktop you are using it on - like the actual files etc.

But what about Claude Code web, are those files and chats persistent anywhere?

I used Claude Code CLI on Github Codespaces and yes my files were persistent but my chats were not.
