Mayweather Would’ve Smoked Khabib in a Boxing Fight
2023.05.28 17:13 Unable_Secretary8953 Mayweather Would’ve Smoked Khabib in a Boxing Fight
Khabib turned down Mayweather’s 100 million dollars offer to get in the ring with him and box.
The reason he says he turned it down is because “he doesn’t care about money” if that’s genuinely the reason he turned down the offer he could just fight him without accepting the money, the 100 million dollars doesn’t stop you from fighting him.
He also said “I’m retired I’m not coming back” which is also stupid because he is retired from mma not from boxing, this match wouldn’t affect his mma career. He also ironically said “who is gonna give him the 100m?” So he did care about the money.
The real reason Khabib didn’t get in the ring with Floyd is because he would get killed in the first round and he wouldn’t be undefeated anymore, Floyd would beat his ass so hard Khabib would get in debt from the ass beating.
If you believe that Khabib would beat Mayweather go watch his first fights and remember how trash his striking is, boxing is the sport of striking and if you box while you cant strike, its like your playing chess without knowing how the pieces move.
Mike Tyson said that Mayweather is the best boxer in the last 100 years and its true, baddest motherfucker on the planet his head movement and his striking are unmatchable combo, he would beat Khabib so bad he would make him talk shit in twitter, and thats the reason he didn’t fought him.

Aclaración:
Unboxing, construcción y confortCaja simple pero esperada en este segmento de precio. Como en la mayoría de estas, al abrirla nos encontramos con el par de auriculares y debajo de ellos dos bolsas pequeñas: una con el cable tipo 2pin 0.78mm y otra con 5 pares extras de puntas de silicona.https://preview.redd.it/ew2893bzem2b1.jpg?width=3705&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b530f119745ac2f6025a61bf0a450d08d0b438bb La construcción de los auriculares en sí se siente barata. El driver de 10mm con diafragma compuesto de metal se encuentra protegido por un housing moldeado en plástico y con un faceplate metálico con las inscripciones de la marca y modelo. Un punto positivo de este tipo de construcción es la variedad de colores que se ofrecen para este modelo que son 6 en total: blanco, negro, celeste, rojo, rosa y naranja. https://preview.redd.it/fjuoa5y0fm2b1.jpg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2547183ad0f31c8cbf260b04559cae06fab6913a Pasando al cable, por el precio está muy bien. Tiene buena maleabilidad, no se enreda fácilmente y el conector de 3.5mm es recto, que alivia la tensión de la terminación del cable en este punto en comparación a los conectores en forma de “L”. Como puntos negativos de este encontramos que es un poco microfónico al rozar con la ropa y que tiene guías plásticas para las orejas que pueden resultar incómodas para algunos. https://preview.redd.it/gt4n9jq2fm2b1.jpg?width=3579&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1ece65cc0ed60d7a9068ac6f5e821464980af594 Con respecto a las puntas de silicona, me sorprendió la cantidad que vienen incluidas (6 pares contando las que llevan puestas los IEMs). Algunas de estas son de “orificio amplio” como las de color naranja (retienen mejor frecuencias graves y agudas) y otras de un orificio más estrecho como las de color celeste (reducen las frecuencias agudas sin afectar los graves = más elevación de los graves) Por último, el confort de estos auriculares me pareció excelente desde el primer día. Siempre lo usé con las puntas naranjas que son de tamaño pequeño (S) y tanto la forma del IEM como dichas puntas favorecieron a un sellado excepcional de mi oído externo, y son tan livianos y cómodos que puedo usarlos durante horas sin siquiera acomodarlos. Es una muy buena opción para aquel que necesite paz en ambientes ruidosos Descripción de la respuesta en frecuenciaCréditos: https://crinacle.com/
Descripción subjetiva del sonidohttps://preview.redd.it/y7ltp297fm2b1.jpg?width=2686&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c75272226b3ff57f03dbc408499e091215c56c3aGraves \rumble: frecuencia baja y profunda que puede ser más percibida que escuchada* Subgraves con mucha autoridad lo cual queda demostrado en canciones como “Xanny” de Billie Eilish y ”Hot In It“ de Tiesto. La sensación de “rumble”* en estas y otras canciones es muy bueno, los subgraves se sienten en todo el pecho. Por otro lado, los graves (>50-60 Hz a 200 Hz) estan un poco por detrás para mi gusto como queda demostrado en canciones de EDM como “Follow” de Martin Garrix. No obstante, esto evita que las frecuencias graves “molesten” a las frecuencias medias y haya una transición correcta entre estas Medios Escuché varios cantantes distintos para tener una buena referencia de este rango de la frecuencia. Freddie Mercury, Billie Eilish, Adele y Calamaro, en ninguno de estos artistas pude encontrar algo incorrecto con esta frecuencia. Voces masculinas como femeninas se desenvuelven naturalmente teniendo una presencia más que adecuada, donde las voces femeninas tienen un poco más de autoridad como escuché en “Vivere” en la parte donde Bocceli canta en conjunto con Gerardina Trovato. La articulación entre los distintos instrumentos y voces que ocupan este rango es muy buena no “molestándose” en ningún momento. Agudos En general las frecuencias agudas dejan un poco que desear para aquellos que les guste un tuning más brillante y con más cantidad de detalle. No obstante, esto es un punto muy positivo para sesiones de largas escuchas donde este IEM va a reproducir toda la biblioteca con una musicalidad excepcional. En “Black Magic” de Slayer (Live Undead), el platillo del baterista en los primeros 30 segundos nunca es ofensivo con el oído pero tiene buena presencia. En “Revelations” de Iron Maiden también la variedad de platillos que son ejecutados por el baterista durante los solos de guitarra se tienen presencia pero una muy tranquila sin ser agresivos ni brillantes. Timbre \Timbre: características distintivas entre los sonidos de los instrumentos/voces que nos permiten diferenciarlos entre sí.* El timbre* de estos auriculares es algo que otras compañías tendrían que tomar nota. Entiendo que no es un tuning arriesgado al seguir la curva Harman pero los instrumentos se encuentran tan bien representados que a pesar de no ser el mejor IEM en términos de resolución/detalle se hacen comparables con otros que están muy por encima de su rango de precio gracias a la excelente ejecución del timbre. Todos los instrumentos “Invierno: Allegro non Molto” de Vivaldi - interpretada por Fabio Biondi, se distinguen excelentemente entre ellos, desde el violinista principal hasta los violonchelos y el contrabajo que acompañan al resto de violines. Soundstage e imagen \Imagen: precisión y claridad con la que se pueden ubicar sonidos en la mezcla.* Como se mencionó anteriormente en la descripción de la respuesta en frecuencia, el soundstage o espacialidad del sonido está por encima del promedio. Canciones como “The Great Unknown” de Iron Maiden y “Bicycle Race” de Queen sacan a la luz que estos auriculares tienen un soundstage ancho y que puede ser profundo cuando debe serlo. En la segunda canción mencionada, se crea una escena tridimensional muy bien lograda ubicando a todos los coristas y la batería por detrás de Freddie, con uno de los platillos teniendo una presencia característica ubicándose atrás y a la derecha durante el estribillo. Con respecto a la imagen*, este es uno de los pocos puntos débiles que le veo a los Zero. En “Alta Suciedad” de Calamaro me es difícil discernir entre las guitarras derecha e izquierda que tocan en la banda. Lo mismo sucede durante la introducción de la canción de Iron Maiden mencionada en el párrafo anterior. 7HZ Salnotes Zero vs KZ DQ6Decidí hacer una breve comparación entre estos dos modelos dado a que se encuentran rondando el mismo rango de precio tanto internacionalmente como en Argentina (7hz Salnotes Zero al día de hoy: $24500 pesos argentinos o $20 USD - KZ DQ6 al día de hoy: $23500 pesos argentinos o $20 USD)Créditos: https://crinacle.com/
ConclusiónViendo el nuevo segmento de ranking que incluí creo que es bastante obvio que esta es un producto simplemente fácil de recomendar: buen confort, tuning impecable por el precio, buena cantidad de accesorios y de respetable calidad por $20 USD. Los pocos puntos negativos que mencioné durante mi análisis claramente no alcanzan para bajar este producto del pedestal que se merece estar. |

2023.05.28 15:09 salmondy Baby due Mid-December with an insurance twist- What is Max HDHP Contribution for 2023?
Hi all- I’m expecting my first child due mid-December and am currently on an individual HDHP with spouse on his own plan.
Given this news, I will be changing to a PPO/HRA plan with my employer that takes effect July 1 (our benefits year runs from July to June). Since I expect to have a baby by the end of this calendar year, I’m wondering if I can max my 2023 HSA contribution to the family level of $7750 this June instead of my current individual HSA max of $3850.
Can I preemptively contribute HSA dollars at the family level even if I’ll be under a different plan when baby arrives later this year? I’ve read that dependents don’t have to be on a HDHP to qualify for HSA dollars to be spent in their name. In general, I’d like to be able to max out the HSA before I leave the HDHP since those funds don’t expire.

2023.05.28 14:54 AuJoa A postnuptial agreement wasn't worth it in my case
I want to start by saying this was my experience in my state in the US. Your experience may be different.
Back when I was trying to reconcile with WH, I had a couple of legal appointments, one of which was about postnuptial agreements. I ended up not having one drawn up. It was going to cost over 4k, and in my state, it doesn't cover alimony, or child support (we have no children together, so the child support wasn't the issue). We shared no businesses and don't have a ton of assets. Basically, the potnup would have split or modest amount of assets 60/40 in my favor. Anything more than that would have been seen as unfair and would not have held up in court.
If you have a lot of assets, properties, or share a business together, a postnup would make sense. In my case, it would have meant spending thousands of dollars to gain very little. Also, infidelity clauses in my state are generally not enforceable.
I thought I would share this because I see postnups recommended very frequently in infidelity subs. I think for some couples, they're great. But for others, like me, it may not be worth it.

2023.05.28 14:50 Soft-Willing Ce faceti când părinții partenerului incep să spună părinților vostri că sunteți prea slabă/prea grasa?
Unii părinți chiar sunt băgăcioși și comentează aiurea. De aveau dreptate și eu mă înfometam, mai spuneam. Construcția mea e de slabă în partea de sus a corpului și mai plinuta(dar insesizabil) in partea de jos a corpului). Am mușchi la mâini, sunt atletica, fața mea e ovala și nu e grasa, da. Sunt mai slăbuță la față.
Mă enervează că vorbesc aiurea, nu am sentimente de neîncredere pt că mă simt foarte bine așa cum sunt. Fac sport, mănânc sănătos, mă simt fresh. Trebuie sa mai rezolv somnul puțin pt că mai am niste reminiscențe de anxietate și asta e. Daca mă vedeau machiata nu cred că mai comentau. În față mi au spus că am slăbit(Nr kg mele e același de fapt) dar că e ok, arat bine. După vreo luna de când nu ne-am mai văzut.
Pe la spate s au plans la mama că sunt cam slabă și că sora mea e mai plinuta, e mai bine. (Ea e mai mica decât mine și are fata rotunda și mai grasuta. Are 19, eu 27).
Voi ce faceți în cazurile astea când îi vedeți iar după pe părinții lui? Va aranjați cumva sa păreti altcumva? Sau în general ... Oamenii vor comenta indiferent, oricând. Mă enerveaza că se baga ca și cum ei știu mai bine.

2023.05.28 14:32 Joe_and_Suds Question: Futures Time and Sales
When I watching the charts, I generally keep an eye on the Time and Sales section. I notice there are constantly tiny 1- 3 USD orders going through (I'm assuming Algo bots). But then, when what appears to be a real order, gets printed it displays low sum numbers like a few hundred USD to a few thousand USD.
Is the time and sales displaying only people's actual margin on the trade or is it displaying the total trade including the leverage amount?
I ask because even with my small futures account size, when I trade on 10-20x leverage, the amount of my trade is tens of thousands of dollars, but I never really see the time and sales show similar trades from other people.

2023.05.28 14:08 LeGaliZeD_iTx As a dasher to a dasher.
If you think this is where you should be implying good work morales , you need a better use of your time.
If you generalize the service of doordash like this, neither side, customer or dasher, should be participating under the notion of this being a good idea and a platform with a good buisness model.
"Doordash, Where we find strangers to bring you food, and we just act like this is a safe practice.""
To the customers who read this post as well, there is no way to truly absolutely know if your food is untouched and safe.
Long story short, Doordash is not for the virtuous, for just as in real life the virtuous die first.
Change my mind. It's all based on hearsay, there is no core responsibility or way to check claims.
So get out there and lie your way out of your next CV, cancel that shitty order after you pick it up but before you hit confirm.
Got a CV? Say you have absolutely no clue what they are talking about you left it on their porch. Irregardless of what happened.
Can't say I condone the werid advances on customers dashers have been seen doing , but any other nasty thing? Nah, that's fair game. 50 dollars worth of pickup food but only thought 3 dollars would cover your time? Then eat like a king, make your profit.
DO NOT LET THE SYSTEM THAT IS GEARED AGAINST BOTH SIDES WIN. DOORDASH IS NOT FOR THE CUSTOMER AND IT IS NO FOR THE DASHER.
good luck out there and always put yourself first

Can't say I condone the werid advances on customers dashers have been seen doing , but any other nasty thing? Nah, that's fair game. 50 dollars worth of pickup food but only thought 3 dollars would cover your time? Then eat like a king, make your profit.
DO NOT LET THE SYSTEM THAT IS GEARED AGAINST BOTH SIDES WIN. DOORDASH IS NOT FOR THE CUSTOMER AND IT IS NO FOR THE DASHER.
good luck out there and always put yourself first
2023.05.28 14:00 Joadzilla Texas House of Representatives votes to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton
https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/27/politics/ken-paxton-impeachment-texas-house/index.html
The Texas House of Representatives has voted to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton, an unprecedented move following a legislative probe that faulted the third-term Republican for a years-long pattern of corruption, including abusing his office’s powers, retaliating against whistleblowers and obstructing justice.
Under state law, Paxton is now temporarily suspended from his duties as attorney general and will await a Senate trial.
The vote was 121-23, with two members voting “present.”
“The evidence is substantial. It is alarming and unnerving,” said GOP Rep. Andrew Murr, chair of the General Investigating Committee, during his closing statement following hours of debate. The committee recommended 20 counts of impeachment against Paxton.
Democrat Rep. Harold Dutton was one of the members voting present. He said the impeachment vote had been rushed. “The process by which we’re getting this done seems to be abbreviated to the point that it just encroaches on due process,” said Dutton.
Paxton denied wrongdoing in a Friday news conference, but focused his statements against the impeachment this week on his record as a key opponent of President Joe Biden. Paxton’s office has filed dozens of lawsuits against the Biden administration.
The now-suspended attorney general called the impeachment a “politically motivated sham” in a statement just minutes after the vote.
“The ugly spectacle in the Texas House today confirmed the outrageous impeachment plot against me was never meant to be fair or just,” he said.
Paxton said he was never given a chance to present evidence refuting the findings of an investigation that he abused his office. He has cast House Speaker Dade Phelan, a Republican who presides over a chamber where his party currently holds 85 seats to Democrats’ 64, as a “liberal.” He continued his attack on Phelan saying, “Phelan’s coalition of Democrats and liberal Republicans is now in lockstep with the Biden Administration, the abortion industry, anti-gun zealots, and woke corporations.”
The Office of the Attorney General issued its own “comprehensive report” about the allegations following the impeachment vote, saying it “unequivocally refutes incorrect testimony” against Paxton. The office also released a report it commissioned from an outside law firm, although the report from Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard and Smith LLP notes it is based only on information and testimony provided by the attorney general’s office.
Republican Governor Greg Abbott can appoint a provisional replacement while Paxton is temporarily suspended. Paxton would be reinstated if he is acquitted at his Senate trial.
The impeachment vote had its origins in an investigation launched in March by the General Investigating Committee of the Texas House after Paxton had asked the legislature to approve $3.3 million in government funds to settle a lawsuit with four whistleblowers who were fired from his office.
That investigation led the committee – a five-member panel investigating corruption in state government – to approve 20 articles of impeachment Thursday, setting up the vote in the full House.
During the debate Saturday, Rep. Charlie Geren, who is a Republican, claimed Paxton had threatened fellow House members.
“I would like to point out that several members of this House, while on the floor of this House doing the state’s business, received telephone calls from General Paxton personally threatening them with political consequences in their next election,” Geren said.
Opponents of the impeachment largely declined to address the allegations against him, instead focusing on the investigation leading up to the proceedings. “I don’t think today is about whether there’s guilt or innocence. It’s about the process,” said Rep. Tony Tinderholt.
“I’m not here to defend Ken Paxton,” Rep. John T. Smithee stated on the floor. He went on to say, “What you’re being asked to do today is to impeach without evidence. It is all rumor. It is all innuendo. It is all speculation.”
Paxton’s impeachment is a stunning rebuke of a Republican official in a state where the GOP controls all levers of state government. Voters in Texas shrugged off the swirling scandals around Paxton last year, handing him a third term in November’s election. Paxton had earlier fought off multiple opponents for the GOP nomination, including Bush family scion George P. Bush, the state land commissioner, whom he easily bested in a runoff.
Paxton has long been a controversial figure who has clashed with Texas legislative leadership. A conservative who has aligned himself with former President Donald Trump, he led a lawsuit in 2020 seeking to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in the presidential election.
He retains support within the Texas GOP. In a statement Friday, state party chairman Matt Rinaldi blasted Phelan for what he called a “sham impeachment.”
“The voters have supported General Paxton through three elections – and his popularity has only grown despite millions of dollars spent to try to defeat him. Now the Texas House is trying to overturn the election results,” Rinaldi said, adding that he was looking to the “principled leadership” of the Senate to “restore sanity and reason for our state.”
In Texas, no attorney general has ever been impeached and removed from office. The only two elected officials to lose office as a result of impeachment were Gov. James Ferguson in 1917 and District Judge O.P. Carrillo in 1975.
For Paxton to be removed from office, two-thirds of the Texas Senate’s members who are present will have to vote to convict him. His wife, Angela Paxton, is a state senator representing a Dallas-area district.
It’s not yet clear when the Senate, where Republicans have a 19-12 majority over Democrats, will conduct its trial. The state’s legislative session is scheduled to end Monday.
While only the governor can call special sessions once the legislature is out of the biennial regular session, the Texas Constitution states that impeachment is the one issue for which the state House and Senate lawmakers can bring themselves into session without the governor, according to Mark Jones, a political science professor at Rice University.
Litany of legal trouble
The impeachment proceedings are the latest in a series of legal troubles for Paxton.
CNN has previously reported he was facing an FBI investigation for abuse of office and that Justice Department prosecutors in Washington, DC, took over a corruption investigation into Paxton. He is also under indictment for securities fraud in a separate, unrelated case. Paxton has denied all charges and allegations.
The state House probe came after Paxton had sought to settle a lawsuit with four former employees of the attorney general’s office. Whistleblowers had accused him of using his authority to benefit political friend Nate Paul, a real estate investor who had donated tens of thousands of dollars to Paxton’s campaign. In the settlement, Paxton apologized but did not admit fault or accept liability. He denied wrongdoing and said in a statement he had agreed to the settlement “to put this issue to rest.”
One of the impeachment articles accuses Paxton of using employees of the attorney general’s office to write a legal opinion intended to help Paul avoid the foreclosure sale of properties owned by Paul and his businesses.
It was among a series of articles focused on Paxton’s relationship with Paul, including accusations he hired an outside attorney who issued more than 30 grand jury subpoenas while investigating a “baseless complaint” made by Paul, benefited from Paul hiring a woman with whom Paxton “was having an extramarital affair,” and provided Paul with favorable legal help in exchange for renovations on Paxton’s home.
The articles of impeachment also detail what are described as Paxton’s efforts to cause “protracted” delays in the securities fraud investigation.
And the articles say voters in November did not have a full understanding of Paxton’s legal troubles because he had intentionally obscured the details of the charges he faces.
“Paxton then concealed the facts underlying his criminal charges from voters by causing protracted delay of the trial, which deprived the electorate of its opportunity to make an informed decision when voting for attorney general,” the impeachment articles state.
A wild week
The impeachment of Paxton follows a wild week in which the attorney general accused House Speaker Phelan of presiding over the House chamber while drunk and called for the speaker’s resignation.
On Tuesday, Paxton posted on Twitter a letter to the state House ethics panel, asking for an investigation into Phelan for performing his duties in what Paxton described as “an obviously intoxicated state.”
Paxton’s call for Phelan’s resignation came after video circulated on social media last weekend of Phelan appearing to slur his words as he presided over the House chamber at the end of a late-night session. Paxton did not present any evidence beyond the video clips to support his claim Phelan was drunk.
“It is with profound disappointment that I call on Speaker Dade Phelan to resign at the end of this legislative session,” Paxton said in a statement he posted on Twitter. “Texans were dismayed to witness his performance presiding over the Texas House in a state of apparent debilitating intoxication.”
Less than an hour later, the state House General Investigating Committee revealed it had subpoenaed records from Paxton’s office as part of an investigation Phelan’s office said had started in March. The committee, whose members are appointed by Phelan, voted unanimously Thursday to recommend Paxton’s impeachment.
Phelan’s office said Paxton’s allegation was merely retaliation for the House ethics panel’s probe.
“Mr. Paxton’s statement today amounts to little more than a last-ditch effort to save face,” Phelan communications director Cait Wittman said in a statement Tuesday.
Democratic Rep. Terry Canales said the broader context of last week’s all-day session made clear Phelan “was not under the influence.”
“At that point in the night the House had been in session over 13 hours and we had been doing so for multiple days in a row. We were all exhausted,” Canales said in a statement. “Nevertheless, I had multiple interactions with the speaker throughout the day and that night and I can say unequivocally he was not under the influence.”

2023.05.28 13:40 Effective-Emu1761 I get overwhelmingly sad/jealous/angry seeing famous, beautiful women with other men
Even though I'd have less than 0% chance with any of them if we somehow met, I get overwhelmingly sad/jealous/angry seeing famous, beautiful women with other men. It gets to the point where I have to actively scrub the knowledge from my brain and not think about it because it prevents me from living my life and doing things I enjoy.
I've had a crush on Hailee Steinfeld for a few years now, and recently found out she is dating Josh Allen. Normally, I could just not think about her being with other men, but the NFL is one of the few things in life that brings me joy. Plus, the Bills are a really good team right now, so they're going to get a lot of media coverage, attention, and big games. Every time I watch a game or even think about football, my mind is going to back to thinking about all the ways I'm inferior to Allen. I had no animosity towards him or his team prior to this, but I now actively hope his team never achieves the slightest bit of success, and thinking about the possibility of him winning the Super Bowl fills me with dread.
I'm pretty terrible with women in general and have had zero success for a variety of reasons. (Total lack of confidence, years of humiliating experiences, I was emotionally/sexually abused by my dad for years, trying to interact with one outside of work makes me feel like my brain has shut down, I'm an ugly, awkward bastard with few redeeming qualities and a small you know what). I've been in therapy for years to try and get over my laundry list of insecurities and anxieties, but it's hard.
Worse is that I have spent hundreds of dollars on lit-erotica commissions in which a fictionalized version of myself has sex and relationships with the women in question as a method of coping. I haven't told my therapist any of this as it's too embarrassing.

2023.05.28 13:36 _OneTrulyHardDecree_ Adiciones a la teoría de la afirmación y negación de la voluntad de vivir.
§163 Mi ética es a todas las de la filosofía europea lo que el Nuevo Testamento al Antiguo, de acuerdo con la concepción que de esa relación tiene la Iglesia. En efecto, el Antiguo Testamento coloca a los hombres bajo el imperio de la ley, lo cual, sin embargo, no conduce a la salvación. El Nuevo Testamento, en cambio, considera la ley insuficiente y hasta exonera de ella (por ejemplo, Romanos 7, Gálatas 2 y 3). Frente a ello predica el reino de la gracia al que se llega mediante la fe, el amor al prójimo y la completa negación de sí mismo: este es el camino para salvarse del mal y del mundo. Pues a pesar de todas las tergiversaciones protestante-racionalistas, el espíritu ascético es verdaderamente el alma del Nuevo Testamento. Mas ese espíritu consiste precisamente en la negación de la voluntad de vivir; y aquel tránsito del Antiguo al Nuevo Testamento, del imperio de la ley al imperio de la fe, de la justificación por las obras a la salvación a través del Mediador, del dominio del pecado y la muerte a la vida eterna en Cristo, significa sensu proprio el tránsito de las virtudes meramente morales a la negación de la voluntad de vivir. — En el espíritu del Antiguo Testamento se han mantenido todas las éticas filosóficas que me han precedido, con su absoluta (es decir, carente tanto de fundamento como de fin) ley moral con todos sus mandatos y prohibiciones morales, a los que se les añade mentalmente el Jehová que los decreta; lo cual es común a todas, por diferentes que resulten las formas y presentaciones del asunto. Mi ética, en cambio, tiene fundamento, propósito y fin: primero, demuestra teóricamente el fundamento metafísico de la justicia y la caridady, luego, indica el objetivo al que estas han de conducir finalmente si se logran por completo. Al mismo tiempo, admite con franqueza el carácter reprobable del mundo y señala la negación de la voluntad como el camino para salvarse de él. Según ello, está realmente en el espíritu del Nuevo Testamento, mientras que las demás en su totalidad se hallan en el del Antiguo y, en consecuencia, terminan también desde el punto de vista teórico en un mero judaísmo (puro teísmo despótico). En este sentido se podría llamar a mi teoría la verdadera filosofía cristiana, por muy paradójico que esto pueda parecer a quienes no llegan al núcleo de la cuestión sino que se quedan en la superficie.
§164 Quien sea capaz de pensar con algo más de profundidad alcanzará pronto a ver que los deseos humanos no pueden empezar a ser pecaminosos en aquel punto donde, cruzándose casualmente en sus orientaciones individuales, ocasionan el mal por un lado y la maldad por otro; sino que, de ser esto así, han de ser pecaminosos y reprobables ya en origen y esencia, y por consiguiente toda la voluntad de vivir es ella misma reprobable. De hecho, todo el horror y la miseria de los que el mundo está lleno son simplemente el resultado necesario del conjunto de los caracteres en los que se objetiva la voluntad de vivir, dentro de las circunstancias que se presentan en la cadena ininterrumpida de la necesidad, las cuales les proporcionan los motivos; son, pues, el simple comentario a la afirmación de la voluntad de vivir. (Véase Teología alemana, p. 93.) — Que nuestra existencia misma implica una culpa lo demuestra la muerte.
§166 Si en la concepción del mundo partimos de la cosa en sí, de la voluntad de vivir, encontramos que su núcleo, su máxima concentración, es el acto genésico: este se presenta entonces como lo primero, el punto de partida: es el punctum saliens del huevo del mundo y la cuestión fundamental. ¡Qué contraste se da, en cambio, cuando se parte del mundo empírico dado como fenómeno, del mundo como representación! Aquí, en efecto, cada acto se presenta como algo totalmente individual y especial, de importancia secundaria, incluso como una cuestión accesoria disimulada y encubierta que se introduce furtivamente, una anomalía paradójica que da frecuente materia de risa. Pero también podría parecernos que el diablo hubiera querido ocultar ahí su juego: pues el coito son sus arras, y el mundo, su reino. ¿No hemos notado que illico post coitum cachinnus auditur Diaboli? ("Inmediatamente después del coito se oye la risa del diablo.") Lo cual, expresado con seriedad, se debe a que el deseo sexual, sobre todo cuando se concentra en el enamoramiento por la fijación en una mujer determinada, es la quintaesencia de toda la estafa de este elegante mundo, ya que promete una cantidad tan inexpresable, infinita y exagerada, y cumple una tan miserablemente pequeña. — La parte de la mujer en la procreación es en cierto sentido menos culpable que la del hombre, por cuanto este da al hijo que va a engendrar la voluntad, que es el primer pecado y por lo tanto la fuente de toda maldad y mal; la mujer, en cambio, le da el conocimiento, que le abre el camino de la salvación. El acto genésico es el nudo del mundo, ya que declara: «La voluntad de vivir se ha afirmado de nuevo». En este sentido se lamenta una expresión retórica del brahmanismo: «¡Dolor, dolor! El lingam está en el yoni». — La concepción y el embarazo, por el contrario, dicen: «A la voluntad se le ha vuelto a agregar la luz del conocimiento»; con ello puede volver a encontrar su camino, y así se le ha presentado de nuevo la posibilidad de la salvación. De ese modo se explica el notable fenómeno de que, aunque cualquier mujer quiere morir de vergüenza cuando se le sorprende en el acto genésico, en cambio hace ostentación de su embarazo sin asomo alguno de ella, e incluso con una especie de orgullo; porque en los demás casos, un signo indefectiblemente seguro es siempre equivalente a la cosa señalada, y por eso cualquier otro indicio de haber consumado el coito avergüenza a la mujer en alto grado, con la única excepción del embarazo. Esto se explica porque, de acuerdo con lo anterior, el embarazo es en cierto sentido un pago de la deuda que el coito contrae, lleva consigo o al menos deja entrever. De ahí que el coito cargue con toda la vergüenza y oprobio del asunto; en cambio, el embarazo, hermanado tan de cerca con él, permanece puro e inocente, e incluso se hace en cierta manera respetable.El coito es principalmente asunto del hombre; el embarazo es exclusivo de la mujer. El hijo recibe del padre la voluntad, el carácter; de la madre, el intelecto. Este es el principio que libera; la voluntad, el que ata. El signo de la continua existencia de la voluntad de vivir en el tiempo, pese al incremento de la iluminación del entendimiento, es el coito: el signo de la luz del conocimiento que, en su grado máximo de claridad, vuelve a acompañar a esa voluntad abriéndole la posibilidad de la salvación, es la renovada encarnación humana de la voluntad de vivir. La señal de esta es el embarazo, que por eso camina franco y sincero, hasta orgulloso, mientras que el coito se esconde como un criminal.
§167 Algunos Padres de la Iglesia han enseñado que incluso la cohabitación conyugal está permitida solo cuando se practica con el único fin de la procreación de los hijos, como dice Clemente de Alexandría en Stromata II, capítulo 11. (Los pasajes al respecto se encuentran recopilados en P.E. Lind, De coelibatu Christianorum, c. 1). Clemens Alex. Stromata III, c. 3 atribuye esa opinión a los pitagóricos. No obstante, esta es, tomada con exactitud, errónea. Pues cuando el coito no se quiere ya por sí mismo, ha aparecido la negación de la voluntad de vivir y entonces la propagación del género humano resulta superflua y vacía de sentido, en la medida en que el fin se ha alcanzado ya. Además, traer un hombre al mundo sin pasión subjetiva, sin voluptuosidad y sin ímpetu físico, simplemente por pura reflexión y fría intención, con el fin de que exista en él, sería una acción muy delicada desde el punto de vista moral, que muy pocos asumirían y de la que quizás alguno podría decir que es a la procreación por mero impulso sexual lo que el asesinato premeditado a sangre fría al homicidio en un ataque de ira. En la razón opuesta se basa en realidad el carácter condenable de todas las satisfacciones sexuales antinaturales; porque con ellas se complace el impulso, es decir, se afirma la voluntad de vivir, pero falta la propagación, que es sin embargo la única que mantiene abierta la posibilidad de la negación de la voluntad. Así se puede explicar que la pederastia fuera reconocida por vez primera como un grave pecado con la aparición del cristianismo, debido a su tendencia ascética.
§168 Un convento es una congregación de hombres que han hecho voto de pobreza, castidad y obediencia (es decir, de renuncia a la propia voluntad) y a través de la vida en comunidad intentan facilitar, por una parte, la existencia misma, pero aún más aquel estado de dura renuncia, ya que la visión de otros que tienen los mismos sentimientos y renuncian de forma semejante refuerza su decisión y les consuela; además, la sociabilidad de la vida en común dentro de ciertos límites es adecuada a la naturaleza del hombre y constituye un alivio inocente dentro de las muchas y duras privaciones. Este es el concepto normal del convento. ¿Y quién puede llamar a una sociedad así una reunión de chiflados y necios, como sin embargo hay que hacer de acuerdo con todas las filosofías salvo la mía? —El espíritu y sentido interno de la auténtica vida monacal, como del ascetismo en general, es este: que uno se ha reconocido digno y capaz de una existencia mejor que la nuestra y quiere reforzar y mantener esa convicción despreciando lo que este mundo le ofrece, rechazando todos sus placeres como carentes de valor y esperando con tranquilidad y confianza el fin de esta vida suya despojada de vanidosos cebos, para dar un día la bienvenida a la hora de la muerte como la de la salvación. Los saniasis tienen exactamente la misma tendencia y significado, al igual que los monjes budistas. Desde luego, en ningún asunto concuerda la praxis tan raramente con la teoría como en el monacato, precisamente porque su pensamiento fundamental es tan elevado: y abussus optimi pessimus. Un auténtico monje es un ser sumamente venerable: pero en la mayoría de los casos el hábito es una simple máscara tras la que no se oculta un monje real en mayor medida que tras una mascarada.
§170 El número de los trapenses ordinarios es pequeño; en cambio, la mitad de la humanidad está formada de trapenses involuntarios: pobreza, obediencia, falta de todos los placeres e incluso de los medios de alivio más necesarios, y con frecuencia también castidad obligada o causada por alguna carencia, son su suerte. La diferencia es simplemente que los trapenses ejercitan el tema por libre elección, metódicamente y sin esperanza de mejora, mientras que la primera forma se ha de contar entre aquello que en mis capítulos sobre ascetismo he llamado δεύτερος πλούς; la naturaleza ya ha cuidado suficientemente de provocar esto mediante el fundamento de su orden, sobre todo cuando a los males que surgen directamente de ella se le añaden además aquellos otros que originan la discordia y maldad de los hombres, tanto en la guerra como en la paz. Pero precisamente esa necesidad del sufrimiento involuntario para la salvación eterna se expresa ya en aquella sentencia del Redentor: "Le es más fácil a un camello entrar por el ojo de una aguja que a un rico entrar en el Reino de los Cielos." Por eso, aquellos para quienes la salvación eterna era algo muy serio han elegido la pobreza voluntaria cuando el destino se la había negado y habían nacido ricos: así el buda Shakya-Muni que, nacido príncipe, tomó voluntariamente el báculo de mendigo; y el fundador de la Orden de Mendicantes, Francisco de Asís, al que, cuando era un joven mozo, estando en un baile donde estaban sentadas juntas las hijas de los notables se le preguntó: «¿Don Francisco, no va a elegir pronto a una de estas bellas damas?». Y respondió: «¡He escogido una mucho más bella!». — «¡Oh! ¿Cuál?». — «La povertà»;— y poco después lo abandonó todo y atravesó el país mendigando. El que a través de tales consideraciones tenga presente lo necesarios que en la mayoría de los casos son para nuestra salvación la necesidad y el sufrimiento, sabrá que no deberíamos envidiar a los demás tanto por su felicidad como por su infelicidad. Por la misma razón, también el ánimo estoico que desafía al destino es, ciertamente, una buena coraza contra los sufrimientos de la vida y sirve para soportar mejor el presente: pero se opone a la verdadera salvación. Pues esconde el corazón. ¿Y cómo habría de mejorar este a través de los sufrimientos si, rodeado de un anillo de piedra, no los siente? — Por lo demás, no es muy infrecuente un cierto grado de estoicismo. A menudo puede ser afectado y reducirse al "Al mal tiempo, buena cara" : sin embargo, cuando no es disimulado, la mayoría de las veces nace de una simple insensibilidad, de una falta de energía, de vivacidad, de emoción y de fantasía, cualidades estas que son necesarias incluso para una gran pesadumbre. A esta clase de escepticismo son especialmente favorables la flema y la lentitud de los alemanes.
§171 Las acciones injustas o malvadas son con respecto a quien las ejercita signos de la fuerza de su afirmación de la voluntad de vivir y, en consecuencia, de la distancia a la que todavía se encuentra de él la verdadera salvación, la negación de la voluntad, y con ello la redención del mundo; y luego también, de la larga escuela de conocimiento y sufrimiento por la que ha de pasar hasta llegar allá. — Pero con respecto a aquel que ha de sufrir con aquellas acciones, desde el punto de vista físico estas son un mal; mas desde el metafísico son un bien y en el fondo una buena acción, ya que contribuyen a conducirle hacia su verdadera salvación.

Lo cual, expresado con seriedad, se debe a que el deseo sexual, sobre todo cuando se concentra en el enamoramiento por la fijación en una mujer determinada, es la quintaesencia de toda la estafa de este elegante mundo, ya que promete una cantidad tan inexpresable, infinita y exagerada, y cumple una tan miserablemente pequeña. — La parte de la mujer en la procreación es en cierto sentido menos culpable que la del hombre, por cuanto este da al hijo que va a engendrar la voluntad, que es el primer pecado y por lo tanto la fuente de toda maldad y mal; la mujer, en cambio, le da el conocimiento, que le abre el camino de la salvación. El acto genésico es el nudo del mundo, ya que declara: «La voluntad de vivir se ha afirmado de nuevo». En este sentido se lamenta una expresión retórica del brahmanismo: «¡Dolor, dolor! El lingam está en el yoni». — La concepción y el embarazo, por el contrario, dicen: «A la voluntad se le ha vuelto a agregar la luz del conocimiento»; con ello puede volver a encontrar su camino, y así se le ha presentado de nuevo la posibilidad de la salvación. De ese modo se explica el notable fenómeno de que, aunque cualquier mujer quiere morir de vergüenza cuando se le sorprende en el acto genésico, en cambio hace ostentación de su embarazo sin asomo alguno de ella, e incluso con una especie de orgullo; porque en los demás casos, un signo indefectiblemente seguro es siempre equivalente a la cosa señalada, y por eso cualquier otro indicio de haber consumado el coito avergüenza a la mujer en alto grado, con la única excepción del embarazo. Esto se explica porque, de acuerdo con lo anterior, el embarazo es en cierto sentido un pago de la deuda que el coito contrae, lleva consigo o al menos deja entrever. De ahí que el coito cargue con toda la vergüenza y oprobio del asunto; en cambio, el embarazo, hermanado tan de cerca con él, permanece puro e inocente, e incluso se hace en cierta manera respetable.El coito es principalmente asunto del hombre; el embarazo es exclusivo de la mujer. El hijo recibe del padre la voluntad, el carácter; de la madre, el intelecto. Este es el principio que libera; la voluntad, el que ata. El signo de la continua existencia de la voluntad de vivir en el tiempo, pese al incremento de la iluminación del entendimiento, es el coito: el signo de la luz del conocimiento que, en su grado máximo de claridad, vuelve a acompañar a esa voluntad abriéndole la posibilidad de la salvación, es la renovada encarnación humana de la voluntad de vivir. La señal de esta es el embarazo, que por eso camina franco y sincero, hasta orgulloso, mientras que el coito se esconde como un criminal.
§167 Algunos Padres de la Iglesia han enseñado que incluso la cohabitación conyugal está permitida solo cuando se practica con el único fin de la procreación de los hijos, como dice Clemente de Alexandría en Stromata II, capítulo 11. (Los pasajes al respecto se encuentran recopilados en P.E. Lind, De coelibatu Christianorum, c. 1). Clemens Alex. Stromata III, c. 3 atribuye esa opinión a los pitagóricos. No obstante, esta es, tomada con exactitud, errónea. Pues cuando el coito no se quiere ya por sí mismo, ha aparecido la negación de la voluntad de vivir y entonces la propagación del género humano resulta superflua y vacía de sentido, en la medida en que el fin se ha alcanzado ya. Además, traer un hombre al mundo sin pasión subjetiva, sin voluptuosidad y sin ímpetu físico, simplemente por pura reflexión y fría intención, con el fin de que exista en él, sería una acción muy delicada desde el punto de vista moral, que muy pocos asumirían y de la que quizás alguno podría decir que es a la procreación por mero impulso sexual lo que el asesinato premeditado a sangre fría al homicidio en un ataque de ira. En la razón opuesta se basa en realidad el carácter condenable de todas las satisfacciones sexuales antinaturales; porque con ellas se complace el impulso, es decir, se afirma la voluntad de vivir, pero falta la propagación, que es sin embargo la única que mantiene abierta la posibilidad de la negación de la voluntad. Así se puede explicar que la pederastia fuera reconocida por vez primera como un grave pecado con la aparición del cristianismo, debido a su tendencia ascética.
§168 Un convento es una congregación de hombres que han hecho voto de pobreza, castidad y obediencia (es decir, de renuncia a la propia voluntad) y a través de la vida en comunidad intentan facilitar, por una parte, la existencia misma, pero aún más aquel estado de dura renuncia, ya que la visión de otros que tienen los mismos sentimientos y renuncian de forma semejante refuerza su decisión y les consuela; además, la sociabilidad de la vida en común dentro de ciertos límites es adecuada a la naturaleza del hombre y constituye un alivio inocente dentro de las muchas y duras privaciones. Este es el concepto normal del convento. ¿Y quién puede llamar a una sociedad así una reunión de chiflados y necios, como sin embargo hay que hacer de acuerdo con todas las filosofías salvo la mía? —El espíritu y sentido interno de la auténtica vida monacal, como del ascetismo en general, es este: que uno se ha reconocido digno y capaz de una existencia mejor que la nuestra y quiere reforzar y mantener esa convicción despreciando lo que este mundo le ofrece, rechazando todos sus placeres como carentes de valor y esperando con tranquilidad y confianza el fin de esta vida suya despojada de vanidosos cebos, para dar un día la bienvenida a la hora de la muerte como la de la salvación. Los saniasis tienen exactamente la misma tendencia y significado, al igual que los monjes budistas. Desde luego, en ningún asunto concuerda la praxis tan raramente con la teoría como en el monacato, precisamente porque su pensamiento fundamental es tan elevado: y abussus optimi pessimus. Un auténtico monje es un ser sumamente venerable: pero en la mayoría de los casos el hábito es una simple máscara tras la que no se oculta un monje real en mayor medida que tras una mascarada.
§170 El número de los trapenses ordinarios es pequeño; en cambio, la mitad de la humanidad está formada de trapenses involuntarios: pobreza, obediencia, falta de todos los placeres e incluso de los medios de alivio más necesarios, y con frecuencia también castidad obligada o causada por alguna carencia, son su suerte. La diferencia es simplemente que los trapenses ejercitan el tema por libre elección, metódicamente y sin esperanza de mejora, mientras que la primera forma se ha de contar entre aquello que en mis capítulos sobre ascetismo he llamado δεύτερος πλούς; la naturaleza ya ha cuidado suficientemente de provocar esto mediante el fundamento de su orden, sobre todo cuando a los males que surgen directamente de ella se le añaden además aquellos otros que originan la discordia y maldad de los hombres, tanto en la guerra como en la paz. Pero precisamente esa necesidad del sufrimiento involuntario para la salvación eterna se expresa ya en aquella sentencia del Redentor: "Le es más fácil a un camello entrar por el ojo de una aguja que a un rico entrar en el Reino de los Cielos." Por eso, aquellos para quienes la salvación eterna era algo muy serio han elegido la pobreza voluntaria cuando el destino se la había negado y habían nacido ricos: así el buda Shakya-Muni que, nacido príncipe, tomó voluntariamente el báculo de mendigo; y el fundador de la Orden de Mendicantes, Francisco de Asís, al que, cuando era un joven mozo, estando en un baile donde estaban sentadas juntas las hijas de los notables se le preguntó: «¿Don Francisco, no va a elegir pronto a una de estas bellas damas?». Y respondió: «¡He escogido una mucho más bella!». — «¡Oh! ¿Cuál?». — «La povertà»;— y poco después lo abandonó todo y atravesó el país mendigando. El que a través de tales consideraciones tenga presente lo necesarios que en la mayoría de los casos son para nuestra salvación la necesidad y el sufrimiento, sabrá que no deberíamos envidiar a los demás tanto por su felicidad como por su infelicidad. Por la misma razón, también el ánimo estoico que desafía al destino es, ciertamente, una buena coraza contra los sufrimientos de la vida y sirve para soportar mejor el presente: pero se opone a la verdadera salvación. Pues esconde el corazón. ¿Y cómo habría de mejorar este a través de los sufrimientos si, rodeado de un anillo de piedra, no los siente? — Por lo demás, no es muy infrecuente un cierto grado de estoicismo. A menudo puede ser afectado y reducirse al "Al mal tiempo, buena cara" : sin embargo, cuando no es disimulado, la mayoría de las veces nace de una simple insensibilidad, de una falta de energía, de vivacidad, de emoción y de fantasía, cualidades estas que son necesarias incluso para una gran pesadumbre. A esta clase de escepticismo son especialmente favorables la flema y la lentitud de los alemanes.
§171 Las acciones injustas o malvadas son con respecto a quien las ejercita signos de la fuerza de su afirmación de la voluntad de vivir y, en consecuencia, de la distancia a la que todavía se encuentra de él la verdadera salvación, la negación de la voluntad, y con ello la redención del mundo; y luego también, de la larga escuela de conocimiento y sufrimiento por la que ha de pasar hasta llegar allá. — Pero con respecto a aquel que ha de sufrir con aquellas acciones, desde el punto de vista físico estas son un mal; mas desde el metafísico son un bien y en el fondo una buena acción, ya que contribuyen a conducirle hacia su verdadera salvación.

La vostra ragazza va a ballare ma nonostante sia una bravissima ragazza e vi risponda ogni 10/15 minuti, siete comunque ansiosi/nervosi per la situazione in generale (anche per tot di ore). Come risolvere? Io ne ho pure parlato con lei e dice che è una cosa normale in una coppia ma a me non piace stare così in ansia per 3/4/5 ore (più per gli altri che per lei, manco beve tra l’altro). Riconosco sia più un difetto del mio carattere forse (anche l’ansia in generale)

2023.05.28 13:03 FelicitySmoak_ On This Day In Michael Jackson HIStory - May 28th
 | 1971 - The Jackson 5 play at the Spectrum (now closed - 2009) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. submitted by FelicitySmoak_ to MichaelJackson [link] [comments] 1988 - Michael's duet with Stevie Wonder , "Get It", from Stevie's album Characters peaks at #80 on the Hot 100 Chart while it was at #6 on the R&B chart 1989 - Michael was one of the few winners present at the Black Radio Exclusive awards show at the Universal Amphitheater in Los Angeles. He was honored as the "Triple Crown Winner for Outstanding Achievement in Pop, Rock and Soul." The elegantly laminated plaque has a black and gold edging, with purple printing on a faux-marble background, with a stylized photo image of Michael in his trademark black fedora. 1997 - His 2nd day in Poland starts with a stop at the presidential palace where Michael is received by the first lady. In his quest for a residence in Poland, he then visits the luxury Hotel Bristol. Price for the hotel ended up being too high. He then went to the Warsaw City Hall where he signed a “preliminary letter of intent” to develop a 'Michael Jackson’s Family Entertainment Park', in the Polish capital. https://preview.redd.it/l8aax0vbmf2b1.jpg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2058be4c166fe6a5d16dc17142e7910fac7aad1f “My dream is to appeal to the child that lives in the heart of every man and woman on this planet and to create something in Poland that is so unique and so unusual that it cannot be experienced in any other place", he saidThe letter mentioned no price, but Jackson’s business manager, Tarak Ben Ammar, said in an interview that estimates of Jackson’s contribution range between $100 million and $300 million--modest sums by Western theme park standards. Poland would add an unknown amount. https://preview.redd.it/v3vax6femf2b1.jpg?width=636&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fe01e404092b93a587184acbb64809e82e8675fe https://preview.redd.it/svjneycfmf2b1.jpg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e9994183672ab7fe0eb2496407b91cafc3196922 " I would also like to tell a great truth, I have traveled all over the world six times and have been everywhere, but nowhere I liked it more than in Poland. A visit to Poland is the fulfillment of my childhood dreams...." He shops at the Kidiland toy store, reportedly in the amount of $670,000. He then goes to the children's hospital, with his arms loaded with gifts. https://preview.redd.it/kok5pazgmf2b1.jpg?width=639&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ebb70051f68409f937c0775426c55ff67f9009c https://preview.redd.it/ncl93ephmf2b1.jpg?width=594&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=31621e03ff28ea84d04b050dcb0d9e0a1a403c49 Next he takes a helicopter to Lubiaz, in order to see Cistercian Abbey of Lubiaz, wich he also planned to purchase. Accompanied by Professor Marek Kwiatkowski, who guided him during his visit, Michael spends 45 minutes marveling at the Baroque architecture and the relics. He'll even try a little "heehee" in the middle of the Hall des Princes to test the acoustics! Michael, who wanted to settle in Poland, already saw himself owning this old building, despite the millions of dollars in restoration to be expected. https://preview.redd.it/ih1lgr0jmf2b1.jpg?width=389&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4d38bf32bbf497853881a2ee5ee22587d7672d2b In the evening, he flies to Bremen, Germany where in three days he will begin the 2nd leg of his HIStory Tour. https://preview.redd.it/2ea4068kmf2b1.jpg?width=547&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3cb5c1e7f75c3f9226c6c3fa9752b601cec7b5ca https://preview.redd.it/di920gqnmf2b1.jpg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=72307480617262d831871b2f5b9e0d55a927a11a The plans to build the amusement park at a nearby military airport won approval from state officials in February 1998. Michael asks for sketches to be drawn up for the proposed theme parks, however, following the project’s approval and a huge hiatus, the army owning the airport does not agree to make it available for the park. Two grounds pointed out by the government will also be denied due to local protests. The Polish government abandons this project altogether and nothing will come out of it 2004 - Santa Barbara County Superior Court Judge Rodney Melville has ordered a trial-setting conference hearing today. Thomas Mesereau, Brian Oxman & Joe Jackson go to the courthouse; Michael's appearance isn't required. They argue for a reduction in his $3-million bail and seek an order to force prosecutors to move faster in sharing evidence. In accusing the prosecution of moving too slowly in giving the defense access to the evidence, as required by law, Mesereau said Michael's right to a fair trial was “jeopardized by the undue delay of discovery.” “The investigation of this case involves dozens of, if not over 100 witnesses, voluminous documents and expert examination on a variety of topics,” Jackson’s lawyers wrote. “The defense needs ample time to conduct follow-up witness interviews, locate and interview rebuttal witnesses and conduct its own forensic examinations, among other things.” Prosecutors have responded that they have turned over vast amounts of evidence already and are processing the information they have as quickly as possible. They also are strongly resisting an attempt by Mesereau to substantially reduce Jackson’s bail on grounds that it is much higher than the bail for other defendants facing similar charges. The bail-reduction request notes that Jackson has no prior record, arrests or convictions & that he has fully complied with all conditions of his release on bail, including attending court when ordered. “Mr. Jackson’s ties to this community are substantial,” the defense motion states. “The record reveals that Mr. Jackson is not a flight risk or a danger to the community. It is also apparent that Mr. Jackson intends to confront and vigorously defend rather than evade the allegations in this case.” Though Mesereau noted that Santa Barbara County’s bail schedule calls for bail of about $135,000 for the conspiracy and molestation charges in the grand jury complaint, prosecutors oppose the request on grounds that Jackson is a flight risk and that his wealth should be a factor in retaining high bail. Melville said early in the proceedings that he hoped a trial could begin before the end of this year, but legal experts and many criminal lawyers predicted that would be impossible. September 13 is set as the date for the trial to begin On another legal front, Janet Arvizo filed a claim against county child protection officials accusing them of moving too slowly in investigating leaks to the media that were helpful to Jackson’s defense. Before a psychiatrist who had examined Gavin told Santa Barbara County officials that the child had been molested, Welfare officials had interviewed the family after Living With Michael Jackson aired in early 2003 A memo written by authorities after Jackson’s arrest said the family had denied any sexual abuse. The memo was subsequently released on a website. Attorney Larry R. Feldman, representing the Arvizos, said he filed the claim, a necessary step before a lawsuit, to force county officials to speedily conclude their investigation to ensure that such a breach of confidentiality “will never occur again to another innocent child.” 2006 - Michael visited a Tokyo orphanage and told a group of 140 excited children "I love you" in Japanese. Michael's van was swarmed by 100+ fans as he arrived. Inside the Seibi Gakuen children's home, he watched a performance of traditional music and dance by the children before speaking briefly on stage. He later shook hands and signed autographs for the children. https://preview.redd.it/5lt7jdhqmf2b1.jpg?width=767&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d3a34ad3850b3460555a46dee82abca40bdbb9a Michael's children and Grace visited with the children on this tour of the Japanese orphanage. https://preview.redd.it/f9q2mu3tmf2b1.jpg?width=218&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a3110b0dca7829696b7bbdb23ff3a6afc2557bbf "I look forward to seeing old friends and saying hello to my huge fan base in Japan who, like my other fans around the world, have for so many years consistently shown their love and support to me and my family."- MJ"Everyone couldn't believe such a big international star was visiting us," said Kiyoko Mito, headmistress of the Christian-run school. "The children only believed me after seeing the news yesterday that Michael Jackson was actually in Japan," she said 2009 - Having not heard from AEG regarding his salary, Conrad Murray sent another email to AEG & receives a response from Tim Wooley https://preview.redd.it/53qvtjwumf2b1.png?width=513&format=png&auto=webp&s=c048d2d7ca288f12a6a423237ced8234dba40b05 https://preview.redd.it/tsc7mzuvmf2b1.png?width=513&format=png&auto=webp&s=521de2b6de9a122d1ae45ba25caf39a5b7fb76a2 2013 - Jackson v AEG Trial Day 18 Katherine, Janet, Rebbie and Randy Jackson are in court. Only one of the siblings was allowed in the courtroom as they are potential witnesses. Janet accompanied Katherine during morning session while Rebbie was with her during the afternoon session. Paul Gongaware Testimony Jackson direct Paul Gongaware is one of the defendants in the case. He's an adverse witness called by the plaintiffs. Gongaware is Co-CEO of Concerts West, part of AEG Live. Gongaware has toured with Beach Boys, Led Zeppelin and is currently on tour with The Rolling Stones. He worked for Jerry Weintraub in the 80s He produced Prince's tour in 2004. He has not promoted/produced tours since. Gongaware has not talked to Prince after the tour Gongaware was a CPA licensed in NY and Washington. He said he believes he's still licensed but hasn't checked status since there's no need Gongaware testified that landing Jackson, whom he felt was the biggest artist of his era, was huge for AEG. In a 2008 email to AEG Live President and Chief Executive Randy Phillips, Gongaware described how the company should approach Jackson and his manager about a possible comeback tour: We need to start at the fundamentals. How we do it. The difference between [Live Nation] and us is huge. We are artist-based, they are Wall Street-driven. We are smart people. We are completely honest and transparent with everything we do. That's how [founder] Phil [Anschutz] wants itGongaware said he worked on an Elvis Presley tour. Panish asked if Elvis died of drug overdose, and Gongaware said "Yes". Gongaware replied to a condolences' email on July 5, 2009: I was working on the Elvis tour when he died, so I kind of knew what to expect. Still quite a shock "So you knew what to expect when Michael Jackson passed away, is that right, sir?", Brian Panish asked.Despite working as a tour promoter for 37 years -- including for Led Zeppelin, the Grateful Dead and many others -- Gongaware testified that the only artist he ever knew that was using drugs on tour was Rick James Panish asked about working for Jackson 5, Gongaware said had no interaction with Michael. Gongaware was a logistics manager on the Dangerous tour in 92-93. Panish said Michael made $100 million and donated it to charity. Gongaware said he didn't know When Gongaware met Jackson was with Colonel Parker (Elvis' manager) in Las Vegas. Michael had wanted to meet the Colonel Gongaware explained the difference between being tour manager and managing the tour. He talked about Michael's History tour Panish: "You knew that Michael had been to rehab during the dangerous tour?"Gongaware said he never knew MJ was involved with drugs until after the end of the Dangerous tour. Gongaware told LAPD he was aware of Jackson's previous use of pills/painkillers but did not want to get involved. Gongaware had known for years that Michael Jackson was taking painkillers but wasn't aware he was abusing them until MJ abruptly canceled his Dangerous world tour in the early 1990s to enter rehab. Gongaware said he knew of "two occasions" when Michael used painkillers between shows, but he claimed he didn't grasp the scope of the Michael's sickness until the taped 1993 announcement. "I would dispute knowing that he had a problem. I wasn't aware that there were problems", Gongaware said Gongaware said he knew a doctor was medicating Jackson during the Dangerous tour but did not find out why the tour was eventually cut short. "Didn't have time,I was just dealing with what was in front of me", he said Panish said Dr. Finkelstein testified under oath that Gongaware knew Michael had problems with painkillers before the Dangerous tour ended. Panish: "Do you dispute that?" (Finkelstein testimony)Gongaware said Dr. Finkelstein is his doctor and friend and that they talk off and on, but he doesn't know specifics of the doctor's deposition. Dr. Finkelstein said he gave MJ painkillers after the concert in Bangkok following Michael's scalp surgery. In Gongaware's video deposition: "Did you ever ask Dr. Finkelstein if he treated Michael during the Dangerous tour?"Another part of Gongaware's video depo: He said yes, he "occasionally treated Michael Jackson on the Dangerous tour" Panish: "Were you always honest with Michael?"Panish elicited contradictory testimony asking over and over about Gongaware's memory, how long he spent with lawyers to discuss testimony. On the Bad Tour MJ sold out 10 stadiums at 75,000 tickets per night. Panish: "That's a pretty big number?""No one knows how many shows we can get with Mikey," said Gongaware. Panish asked about name "Mikey" - he said he used it occasionally Email on 2/27/09 from Gongaware to Phillips: We are holding all of the risk, if Michael won't approve it we go without his approval.We let Mikey know just what it will cost him in terms of him making money, and then we go with or without him in London. We cannot be forced into stopping this, which Michael will try to do because he is lazy and constantly changes his mind to fit his immediate wants.Gongaware said his use "Mikey" was affectionate, not disparaging, and that the 'lazy' crack amounted to "poor choice of words" but one that accurately reflected how Michael "really didn't like to rehearse. He didn't like to do these kinds of things." "People were aware at this point there would be a press conference. Michael wouldn't show up at the conference, it'd cost money," Gongaware said. "It wasn't much risk at all, we hadn't spent money," Gongaware said about that point of the tour. This was prior to news conference. Gongaware said the situation in London, where they constantly referred to Michael as "Wacko Jacko" would impact marketability to sell tickets "He doesn't want to do this kind of things, but it was important to show Michael to the world if he wanted to do a show," Gongaware explained Jurors were shown several e-mails from Gongaware that Jackson lawyers suggested were evidence that AEG Live deliberately misled Jackson about how much money he would make from his comeback concerts and how many days he would have to rest between shows. Gongaware wrote to his boss, AEG Live President Randy Phillips, that they should present gross ticket sales numbers to Jackson, not the percentage of the net profits, during contract talks. "Maybe gross is a better number to throw around if we use numbers with Mikey listening"Panish talked about an email Gongaware sent to his secretary suggesting that she design a concert calendar for Jackson using light tan colors for show dates, while drawing attention to his rest days Don't want the shows to stand out too much when Michael looks at it.Less contrast between work and off. Maybe off days in a contrasting soft color. Put 'OFF' in each off day after July 8, as well. Figure it out so it looks like he's not working so much. Panish: "Did you want to change the color of the schedule to show Michael would not be working so hard?"Gongaware said it would be obvious when Michael would be working and not and he wasn't trying to trick him. Email on 3/25/09 from Phillips to Gongaware: "We need to pull the plug now. I will explain" Panish: "Mr. Phillips wanted to pull the plug on the show, right sir?""Kenny wanted the pull because the way she (Faye) handled situations," Gongaware explained. "She tried to control access to Michael and Kenny didn't like that" Karen Faye expressed strong opinion that the tour as dangerous and impractical for MJ. Panish asked about a chain of emails where Gongaware said the pulling the plug refers to Ms. Faye. "I believe he was," Gongaware repeated. In another March 25, 2009, email, Ortega wrote Gongaware that it was Faye's "strong opinion that this is dangerous and impractical with consideration to Michael's health and ability to perform.". "I thought he was in good shape at the press conference, I was there," Gongaware said at the deposition. Gongaware was at O2 arena and Phillips was with Michael. "Michael was late, Randy [Phillips] was saying I'm trying to get him going, I'm trying to get him going".As to Dr. Conrad Murray, Gongaware said there was 1 rehearsal he said hello to him. "It was basically a hello, on the floor at the Forum. Mikey asked me to retain him. I never hired him"Panish played an interview of Phillips to SkyTV after Michael died: "The guy is willing 2 leave his practice for large sum of money, so we hired him""I was told Michael wanted him as his doctor for the show," Gongaware said. Gongaware said Michael did not have any illness that he knew of. Gongaware: "He had taken a physical, he passed the physical and from what I understand there was nothing wrong with him. Maybe some hay fever"Gongaware said he received an email from Bob Taylor that everything was fine and that Michael had passed the physical. Gongaware said he never saw the results of the tests and doesn't know who saw them. Panish showed video deposition of Gongaware and a declaration he signed about a month before giving the deposition. They contradict themselves.At first, Gongaware insisted he did no negotiating with Murray, but, confronted with emails and his previous testimony, he changed his position and said, "The only thing I did with Dr. Murray was negotiate a price." Gongaware said that neither he nor anyone at the AEG investigated Murray's background or credentials Panish: "First you said how much did you want?"(to Dr. Murray)Gongaware said Dr. Murray had been Michael's personal doctor for the past 3 years. He said he did not know how many times MJ had seen the doctor. "Michael insisted on him, recommended him, and that was good enough for me, it was not for me to tell him who his doctor should be" Gongaware said "The fact that he had been Michael Jackson's personal physician for three years was good enough for me," Gongaware said. He said that Murray initially asked for $5 million to travel to London with Jackson and tend to him during the tour. "I just told him it wasn't going to happen," he said, recalling that Jackson then suggested offering him $150,000 a month. "Michael Jackson insisted on it and recommended him and it was not for me to tell him no," said Gongaware. "I wanted to provide what was necessary for him to do his job...He wanted a doctor and I wanted him to be healthy." Even after the offer of $150,000, Murray wasn't satisfied. "He started saying he wanted more and I said, 'The offer is coming directly from the artist," Gongaware said. Minutes later, he said Murray accepted. "Did that seem desperate to you?" asked Panish."We agreed on what the compensation was going to be, but there were a lot of issues to be resolved," Gongaware said. Gongaware said he recalled meeting with Dr. Murray where he was told the doctor was going to take care of the medical licensing in London. Gongaware and Timm Wooley are longtime friends. They are currently working on The Rolling Stones tour. Gongaware said he negotiated the price for Dr. Murray, but didn't negotiate the contract. Gongaware explained that he didn't do the negotiation, he would normally refer that to Wooley. Dr. Finkelstein and Gongaware have been friends for 35-plus years. Gongaware said he never offered Dr. Finkelstein the job of being MJ's doctor and said the doctor would be mistaken if he testified otherwise. Gongaware told the jury he called Dr. Finkelstein to ask what a fair price for a tour doctor would be. Doctor told him it was $10,000/week. As to Dr. Finkelstein wanting to be the tour doctor, Gongaware said he didn't recall specifically, but knew he wanted it."After his death we may have talked, but I don't recall specifics," Gongaware said. Gongaware said he sees Dr. Finkelstein a few times a year, but the subject of Michael never came up. Panish asked Gongaware if Dr. Finkelstein wanted to know if Michael was clean or using drugs. Gongaware said he didn't recall the conversation Panish asked: "You could have told Dr. Murray at any time that his services were no longer needed, couldn't you?"Gongaware told nanny, Grace Rwamba, that her services would not be needed anymore because AEG was cutting down on Michael's expenses "I never read the contract, I was there when Michael signed it, but didn't see what was in it," Gongaware said, "Doctor Murray was 100% Michael's cost" Based on the contract, Gongaware said 95% of the production expenses were Michael's responsibility, 5% AEG. Panish: "Who decided there was a need for a written contract with Dr. Murray?"Gongaware said that if the tour went forward, Dr. Murray would've made $1.5 million for 10 months. Ortega would've made almost that. Gongaware said although AEG never did a background check on Murray, in his view they had "checked out" the doctor according to their standard practices. "When we check out someone, we either rely on if we know the person or if they're known in the industry or if they're recommended by the artist & in this case, Dr. Murray was recommended by the artist, in fact, the artist insisted" Panish pressed Gongaware: "You did nothing to verify anything about Dr. Murray, isn't that true, sir?"Panish asked Gongaware if he approved budgets for April-July including Dr. Murray as production expense. He said he didn't know which budgets he approved. "It's my job to get that show on the road," Gongaware said. Gongaware said he had to know how much the production had spent at any given time, but didn't have time to read the budget. Panish: "Do you think you're good at your job, sir?"Gongaware testified that he didn't pay attention to the tour budgets that he approved, even though he was the tour manager.Paul Gongaware said he didn't read through the budgets, instead trusting that the tour accountant knew what he was talking about. Gongaware testified that Dr. Murray's salary, although included in the company's budget for several months, wasn't something he saw as an actual payment that would be made. "If there's a potential for cost we put it in our budget so there are no surprises later", he said. Gongaware often pleaded poor memory of events. He said he may have met with Jackson as many as 10 times, but could remember only two of the meetings and only one when Murray was present Gongaware said he doesn't remember how many meetings he attended at Carolwood house. He didn't recall a meeting where a vase was broken. "There was a meeting where he signed the contract," Gongaware recalled, saying there were more but he doesn't remember specifics. At the meeting in early June, Gongaware said he was present along with Kenny, Randy, Frank DiLeo, Dr. Murray and Michael. "The meeting was about making sure Michael and Dr. Murray had everything they needed to care for Michael," Gongaware explained. "Yes, we did talk about health-related issues. It was more a general meeting about what Dr. Murray would need", Gongaware said. He had told the police the topic of the meeting was Jackson's overall health ( i.e., diet, stamina and his weight) He remembered that Jackson arrived late from a doctor's appointment and had slurred speech. Gongaware said Michael Jackson "was a bit off". "He was just coming back from visiting Dr. Klein. I believe he was under the influence of something. That was the only time I saw him like that", Gongaware said. Jackson had missed a rehearsal and was thought to be dancing at home. However they discovered he was only watching video. Doctor Murray was receptive to their concerns and indicated he would take care of the situation Court Transcript |

Hola ¿Cómo andan? Este no es un post preguntando que lenguaje puedo estudiar. Va un poco más allá de eso me gustaría escuchar opiniones, yo me la banco que por favor no sean mala leche. Escribo acá porque en general me parece que son respetuosos. Ahora sí. Soy estudiante de Medicina. Pero siempre me gustó mucho la tecnología. Cuando era adolescente me plantee si estudiar ingeniería en sistemas porque me gustaba lo que se podía hacer en ese campo, pero nunca tuve constancia para estudiar por fuera de la escuela. Para mí la escuela siempre fue prioridad de hecho me iba bien pero nunca me daba tiempo para aprender a programar. Empecé estudiando ingeniería en electrónica en la UTN de Córdoba pero me sentí mal sentí que no iba a poder y dejé. No estaba bien mentalmente y desde ese momento continué yendo a la psicóloga. Cuando estaba en Córdoba me dije que me gustaba mucho el rubro de la salud. Tengo algunos problemas de salud que contaré más adelante. Dejo la UTN y me pasó a la UBA a estudiar. Y finalmente me defino por Medicina. Me va bien. Estoy en cuarto. Pero siento que quiero introducirme en el mundo de la programación nuevamente. Existe una residencia en informática médica que tiene materias de programación pero no estoy seguro si es lo que quiero, pienso que necesito algo más. Eso lo podría estudiar una vez que termine la carrera, me faltan más o menos 2 años. Lo que estuve haciendo este último tiempo es tratar de apender por mí cuenta las bases de la programación, estuve viendo los videos de maxi programa y haciendo un cursito de pensamiento computacional. Entré en el codo a codo en full stack Python, hice proyectos pero lo deje por falta de tiempo. Pero me gustó. Ahora sigo con estos cursos pero siempre aparace el miedo a pensar que no puedo aprender que es muy difícil, que no se bien que hacer, sumado a que la carrera no me permite tener la constancia que creo que hay que tener para estudiar programación. Ahora viene la parte de mí salud. Hace un año y media empecé diálisis, parte de un proceso de 20 años donde yo sabía que en algún momento me iba a tocar y ahí mi mentalidad cambió. Si bien yo pienso que se puede contribuir de cualquier manera la sociedad, la carrera de médico me hizo pensar siempre en ayudar a los demás de una manera altruista, eso era lo que me llenaba en ese momento. Pero luego de diálisis siento que ya no pienso tanto en los demás y pienso más en mí, en mí futuro, y la carrera de médico es muy demandante física y mentalmente. Yo sabía en donde me metía pero no sabía que entrar en diálisis me iba a cambiar tanto alguna manera de ver las cosas. Tampoco digo que la carrera de un ingeniero o programador no lo sea, no lo sé, pero pienso que me daría otra calidad de vida ya que eso es lo que busco ahora, tener estabilidad y estar más tranquilo. Se que este rubro tiene sus cosas y que puede ser desgastante mentalmente pero créanme que en Medicina ves cosas que te movilizan todo el tiempo y te tenés que desensibilizar un poco para soportarlo. ¿Ahora que quiero? No sé, estoy tratando de llevar ambas cosas a la par. Por ahora estoy perdido y siento que necesito un empujoncito. Actualmente me siento un poco mal porque tengo 26 y siento que ya debería estar trabajando pese a que mi situación un poco lo dificulta porque con el estudio y la diálisis no tengo tiempo. Hasta hace poco había sentido que logré un equilibrio en mí vida pero ahora de nuevo siento como eso se empieza a tambalear. Así que busco ayuda. Cualquier opinión del tema o pregunta sirve. Si llegaste hasta acá muchas gracias por leer.

2023.05.28 12:06 FawazGerhard I need an Android phone recommendations on what i should get.
Hello everyone, currently i am a person using a used Apple Iphone X which i get from my parents, the phone is kinda old, sluggish, overheats even while watching youtube, and the battery is dying. The iphone is a solid phone but in my opinion, especially for newer iphones, the iphone lacks a lot of innovation while also having those phones priced at big numbers which i found to be insane.
I decided that maybe in a few years if financially possible, i would like to own my very own phone which is going to be an Android. I heard Android phones tends to be at least generally, more affordable, superior in performance, camera quality, and many more.
So far i've been googling on what phone should i consider for but i could also list it here on what features i am interested in.

I decided that maybe in a few years if financially possible, i would like to own my very own phone which is going to be an Android. I heard Android phones tends to be at least generally, more affordable, superior in performance, camera quality, and many more.
So far i've been googling on what phone should i consider for but i could also list it here on what features i am interested in.
- A affordable Android, 600 dollars or below. If i am lucky in the future, maybe i could stretch it into the 700 max.
- When it comes comparisons of between Android phones and Apple, one of the arguments on why Android is regarded to be superior is its battery life is vastly superior. So im looking for a phone that has more than decent battery life.
- Storage size, currently my iphone has a 256 GB storage size and its nice, so im interested to get an Android with similar storage size or even more.
- Good or more than good performance Android phone, higher performance makes playing, using, utilizing apps easier.
- Has the headphone jack, i thought only Iphones that is losing the headphone jack but it turns out recently i've found out that even Android phones like from samsung are losing the headphone jack which i found ridiculous.
- Is the brand good and trusted? if so why? I am confused on the many brands so thats why i asked this question
- The phone is available in Asia, south east asia region.
