Hi, my name is Kane.
I just recently moved to NJ in the Englewood/ FortLee area for work. I’m a recent graduate who used to play back home but now I looking to find a new group to join or start a whole new game! I’ve been a player a few times, but I’m mostly a DM. I have been doing it for 4 to 5 years now. I’m down to do either though.
I’d like to play 5e Dnd game but I’m also interested in playing MOTW (Monster of the week),Avatar Legends, Warhammer Fantasy and just some fun Board games in general.
I’m around early 20’s, kinda looking for people in the 20’s age group, but open to older or younger friends if we click.
My availability: Weekdays , Wednesday or Thursday after 7pm. Weekends would be better just cause I can do anytime either day.
Probably the best way to organize and talk about everything will be Discord. Feel free to Dm or Reply Here if you’re interested so we can talk about playing!

I was enjoying the Africana Festival going on today. And decided to check out the other attractions happening for the Downtown Spark Festival also happening this weekend. Started walking my way in the direction to the Edmonton Convention Centre and was LUCKILY told by a mother & young daughter duo that "I probably shouldn't go down that way" because there's a man that was just on their bus wielding knifes. Then another young man about junior high age was running in the opposite direction as well and stopped to tell me what his description was "Old man slow so can't run and wielding knifes.". Told me him and his friends were just on the bus talking about their day, and this ruffian interrupted saying they're all just guests in this country and if they don't stop talking he'll stab everyone here.
I decided to stay in the library until I could take the soonest public transit home.
UPDATE: The Perpetrator was caught with a group of 6 Policemen watching over him with him on the ground. Confirmed by 2 Policemen who were across the street that I asked. A block away from the Africana Festival just past the downtown Library.
Here's the best picture I got of him Perpetrator

I wanted to preface this by saying I honestly have a lot of bias towards the groups that I follow of course so this is isn't a comprehensive analysis of group popularity or reputation in korea by any means, just my own fun observations. I saw someone do a similar post once in this sub so I wanted to do the same :) I went for 10 days, to Seoul, Jeju and Busan.
Observations about Korea in general:

• there are SO many photobooths, maybe it's just the areas I went to but wow I literally saw photobooths everywhere, my and my friends were all shocked how many they had.
• Korea was more similar to China than Japan (as someone who's been to all three countries) in terms of how the streets look, the buildings, the transportation infrastructure, and pure vibes lol. A few parts of Seoul reminded me North America as well, like just the appearance of the streets and I didn't expect that.

Concert culture:

• I was lucky enough to attend one of my ults, The Boyz, concert in Korea and I made a post about it here! It's mostly focused on the concert experience so even if you don't stan The Boyz I think it would be a cool insightful skim read :) lol the shameless self promo I spent a lot of time on that post HAHA

Songs:

• I am a crazy person and I attempted to log down every kpop song I heard in public that I recognized, but of course there's probs lots I forgot to note down. I'm also a new fan (2021 era). I know some classics and older songs still ofc. Tbh the places I heard the most kpop songs being played were definitely the tourist areas, Hongdae and Myeongdong. Otherwise they play mostly Korean ballads, trot and American music.
• The most songs I heard were by BTS and Blackpink. No surprise there tbh. Pretty much heard all of their popular songs at least once.
• 4th gen ggs: IVE, New Jeans and LSF were the most common in that order. Heard basically all of their hits at least once - Eleven, Love Dive, After Like, Fearless, Antifragile, Unforgiven, Hype Boy, Attention, Ditto, OMG. IVE and LSF b-sides as well - My Satisfaction, Blue Flame. I'm not familiar with NJ apart from their tts so maybe those played and I just didn't recognize it. I actually think I heard IVE songs the most, and in non tourist areas too. Other 4th gen gg songs: Fifty Fifty Cupid, NMIXX Love Me Like This, Dice, ITZY Loco, Kep1er Up, StayC Teddy Bear, G-IDLE Tomboy
• 3rd gen ggs: Twice Moonlight Sunrise
• 4th gen bgs: Enhypen's Shout Out, Ateez Halazia, TXT Sugar Rush Ride, The Boyz Nolza, Boys Planet Switch, Tempest Dangerous (in a convenience store in Seopwipo, Jeju of all places) and most surprisingly Ciipher's Fame in a store near Seoul Forest like WOW I can only imagine the store owner was a Keita fan from Boys Planet lol.
• 3rd gen bgs: Seventeen Hot, Super, Left & Right, NCT Dream Glitch Mode, NCT 127 Sticker, NCT DoJaeJung Can We Go Back, EXO Love Me Right (+ a lot of other EXO songs I don't remember)
• 2nd gen: Shinee's Sherlock and Girls Generation Forever 1. My friends noted down a lot of Big Bang and Big Bang soloist songs that played as well but I didn't recognize them.

You can ask me about the specific general location I heard a song if you're curious (eg. tourist vs. non tourist area) and I'll probably remember it lmao. I have kind of a crazy memory lol.
Endorsements/CFs

• I saw Blackpink and New Jeans everywhere, their impact is crazy. Blackpink through Adidas mostly and a lot of solo endorsements - Sulwahsoo, Calvin Klein. New Jeans through Olens and Levis, and some solo campaigns here and there.
• After those two groups I probably saw IVE the most, they had a group campaign and a bunch of solo Wonyoung and Yujin campaigns
• This is my own confirmation bias probably because they are my ults but I also saw NCT 127 a bunch through their Nature Republic and Puma campaigns

Subway/outdoor ads

• I am actually crazy and I decided to try to write down every kpop ad I saw in the subway of an idol that I recognized and here's my list:
• Birthday ads for: NCT Haechan (side note this was the very first ad I saw in Korea and he's my ult bias), ZB1 Ricky, EXO Baekhyun, Enhypen Jay, SVT Hoshi, New Jeans Haerin, ITZY Yeji, TWICE Dahyun, LSF Sakura and Red Velvet Irene
• Anniversary ads for: Shinee's 15th anniversary, Monsta X's 8th anniversary
• Friendship ad for: SVT Joshua and Jeonghan (like happy 10 years ???)
• Boys Planet ads for: Wang Zihao, Haobin (Zhang Hao x Sung Hanbin ship), Park Hanbin (from Japanese fans specifically) and the Redstart trainees fanmeeting
• Music related ads/billboards for: G-IDLE, aespa, Jisoo, NCT DoJaeJung and LSF

Anyway, I had a really fun trip and I am missing it tons now, I hope this post was a fun read :)

The attack on Target was an astroturfing campaign
Let’s get this straight: Target was not at the center of a "national boycott" or a "customer backlash," as you may have heard.
What really happened is a handful of hate groups and outlets worked together to force one of the most LGBTQ+-friendly companies in America to pull its Pride items ahead of Pride Month under the threat of violence. That threat of violence was manufactured by none other than the hate groups and disinformation outlets themselves.
In fact, the whole thing was homegrown using a three-step astroturfing campaign:

1. Manufacture their own backlash. For example, Daily Wire employee Candace Owens fanned her own flames: "Do not shop at Target or else you're gay and you're a pervert," she said. Another Daily Wire host Matt Walsh chimed in on Twitter: "If they decide to shove this garbage in our face, they should know that they’ll pay a price. It won’t be worth whatever they think they’ll gain. First Bud Light and now Target. Our campaign is making progress. Let’s keep it going."
   
2. Cover the backlash as a news story. Daily Wire started covering the outrage drummed up by their own team as if it were a news story. "The Tide Is Turning: Prominent Christians Talk Effective Target And Bud Light Boycotts," reads one headline. "Fans Urge Chip And Joanna Gaines To Cut Ties With Target Amid Pride Collection Backlash," reads another.
   
3. Create a network effect. The Federalist, Breitbart, Daily Mail, and dozens of other disinformation outlets pumped out hundreds of fake news stories about Target to amplify their own homegrown "boycott."
   

When Target announced they would pull their Pride merch, it was under the threat of violence and vandalism fueled by this network’s lies and hateful rhetoric. In fact, people were filming themselves vandalizing Pride Month displays at Target and harassing Target employees, with no end in sight.
This was simply no ordinary boycott.
The business model: threatening "woke" brands with violence
As Pride Month begins, we’re urging advertisers to take a moment to understand and learn to recognize how these outlets operate.
Their "win" with Target has emboldened them, and they’ve already moved on to harassing The North Face, Kohl's, and even the notoriously homophobic Chick-Fil-A. (Did you know Chick-Fil-A has a DEI department?)
It’s all part of a "culture war" and a "backlash" that they’ve invented for themselves to earn ad revenues. After all, every pageview equals money.
However, it’s not clear that the executives of these companies understand that they’re being duped. And that’s why as these campaigns pick up speed, our call to action this Pride Month is to be LOUD and PROUD. Double down on your support of the LGBTQ+ community by letting the companies in the line of attack know that you support Pride Month.

This sub has died a lot because the old guard who all got banned from the original sub just stopped carrying about NJ and that was that.
A section of those and new people got into the various new media by Trell/SMAC, AD, Lush, and BBE Associated Group.
I've noticed on here and on the original sub no one even talks about No Jumper anymore.
The only talk is when Adam tries to insert himself in drama (I thought he was happy to be done with that? Lol) by commenting on Lushes videos.
All the drama, all the hate, all the props, all of it is for the various other communities.
That tells the whole story.
Like it or not, no one even comments about No Jumper because nothing is going on over there and that is the biggest nail in the coffin.
Hate or not you want people talking and no one is talking.

Out of pure frustration as a fan and DJ I have created a Facebook page for local live music in NJ/PA, using their lame events calendar. Please check it out and give me any thoughts and feedback on how to grow. If it shows promise I will develop something web-based on our domain thebuzzer.com.

History shows how to stave it off.
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/06/us-societal-trends-institutional-trust-economy/674260/
How has America slid into its current age of discord? Why has our trust in institutions collapsed, and why have our democratic norms unraveled?
All human societies experience recurrent waves of political crisis, such as the one we face today. My research team built a database of hundreds of societies across 10,000 years to try to find out what causes them. We examined dozens of variables, including population numbers, measures of well-being, forms of governance, and the frequency with which rulers are overthrown. We found that the precise mix of events that leads to crisis varies, but two drivers of instability loom large. The first is popular immiseration—when the economic fortunes of broad swaths of a population decline. The second, and more significant, is elite overproduction—when a society produces too many superrich and ultra-educated people, and not enough elite positions to satisfy their ambitions.
These forces have played a key role in our current crisis. In the past 50 years, despite overall economic growth, the quality of life for most Americans has declined. The wealthy have become wealthier, while the incomes and wages of the median American family have stagnated. As a result, our social pyramid has become top-heavy. At the same time, the U.S. began overproducing graduates with advanced degrees. More and more people aspiring to positions of power began fighting over a relatively fixed number of spots. The competition among them has corroded the social norms and institutions that govern society.
The U.S. has gone through this twice before. The first time ended in civil war. But the second led to a period of unusually broad-based prosperity. Both offer lessons about today’s dysfunction and, more important, how to fix it.
To understand the root causes of the current crisis, let’s start by looking at how the number of über-wealthy Americans has grown. Back in 1983, 66,000 American households were worth at least $10 million. That may sound like a lot, but by 2019, controlling for inflation, the number had increased tenfold. A similar, if smaller, upsurge happened lower on the food chain. The number of households worth $5 million or more increased sevenfold, and the number of mere millionaires went up fourfold.
On its surface, having more wealthy people doesn’t sound like such a bad thing. But at whose expense did elites’ wealth swell in recent years?
Starting in the 1970s, although the overall economy continued to grow, the share of that growth going to average workers began to shrink, and real wages leveled off. (It’s no coincidence that Americans’ average height—a useful proxy for well-being, economic and otherwise—stopped increasing around then too, even as average heights in much of Europe continued climbing.) By 2010, the relative wage (wage divided by GDP per capita) of an unskilled worker had nearly halved compared with mid-century. For the 64 percent of Americans who didn’t have a four-year college degree, real wages shrank in the 40 years before 2016.
As wages diminished, the costs of owning a home and going to college soared. To afford an average house, a worker earning the median wage in 2016 had to log 40 percent more hours than she would have in 1976. And parents without a college degree had to work four times longer to pay for their children’s college.
Even college-educated Americans aren’t doing well across the board. They made out well in the 1950s, when fewer than 15 percent of 18-to-24-year-olds went to college, but not today, when more than 60 percent of high-school grads immediately enroll. To get ahead of the competition, more college graduates have sought out advanced degrees. From 1955 to 1975, the number of students enrolled in law school tripled, and from 1960 to 1970, the number of doctorate degrees granted at U.S. universities more than tripled. This was manageable in the post–World War II period, when the number of professions requiring advanced degrees shot up. But when the demand eventually subsided, the supply didn’t. By the 2000s, degree holders greatly outnumbered the positions available to them. The imbalance is most acute in the social sciences and humanities, but the U.S. hugely overproduces degrees even in STEM fields.
This is part of a broader trend. Compared with 50 years ago, far more Americans today have either the financial means or the academic credentials to pursue positions of power, especially in politics. But the number of those positions hasn’t increased, which has led to fierce competition.
Competition is healthy for society, in moderation. But the competition we are witnessing among America’s elites has been anything but moderate. It has created very few winners and masses of resentful losers. It has brought out the dark side of meritocracy, encouraging rule-breaking instead of hard work.
All of this has left us with a large and growing class of frustrated elite aspirants, and a large and growing class of workers who can’t make better lives for themselves.
The decades that have led to our present-day dysfunction share important similarities with the decades leading to the Civil War. Then as now, a growing economy served to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. The number of millionaires per capita quadrupled from 1800 to 1850, while the relative wage declined by nearly 50 percent from the 1820s to the 1860s, just as it has in recent decades. Biological data from the time suggest that the average American’s quality of life declined significantly. From 1830 to the end of the century, the average height of Americans fell by nearly two inches, and average life expectancy at age 10 decreased by eight years during approximately the same period.
This popular immiseration stirred up social strife, which could be seen in urban riots. From 1820 to 1825, when times were good, only one riot occurred in which at least one person was killed. But in the five years before the Civil War, 1855 to 1860, American cities experienced no fewer than 38 such riots. We see a similar pattern today. In the run-up to the Civil War, this frustration manifested politically, in part as anti-immigrant populism, epitomized by the Know-Nothing Party. Today this strain of populism has been resurrected by Donald Trump.
Strife grew among elites too. The newly minted millionaires of the 19th century, who made their money in manufacturing rather than through plantations or overseas trade, chafed under the rule of the southern aristocracy, as their economic interests diverged. To protect their budding industries, the new elites favored high tariffs and state support for infrastructure projects. The established elites—who grew and exported cotton, and imported manufactured goods from overseas—strongly opposed these measures. The southern slaveholders’ grip on the federal government, the new elites argued, prevented necessary reforms in the banking and transportation systems, which threatened their economic well-being.
As the elite class expanded, the supply of desirable government posts flattened. Although the number of U.S. representatives grew fourfold from 1789 to 1835, it had shrunk by mid-century, just as more and more elite aspirants received legal training—then, as now, the chief route to political office. Competition for political power intensified, as it has today.
Those were cruder times, and intra-elite conflict took very violent forms. In Congress, incidences and threats of violence peaked in the 1850s. The brutal caning that Representative Preston Brooks of South Carolina gave to Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts on the Senate floor in 1856 is the best-known such episode, but it was not the only one. In 1842, after Representative Thomas Arnold of Tennessee “reprimanded a pro-slavery member of his own party, two Southern Democrats stalked toward him, at least one of whom was armed with a bowie knife,” the historian Joanne Freeman recounts. In 1850, Senator Henry Foote of Mississippi pulled a pistol on Senator Thomas Hart Benton of Missouri. In another bitter debate, a pistol fell out of a New York representative’s pocket, nearly precipitating a shoot-out on the floor of Congress.
This intra-elite violence presaged popular violence, and the deadliest conflict in American history.
The victory of the North in the Civil War decimated the wealth and power of the southern ruling class, temporarily reversing the problem of elite overproduction. But workers’ wages continued to lag behind overall economic growth, and the “wealth pump” that redistributed their income to the elites never stopped. By the late 19th century, elite overproduction was back, new millionaires had replaced the defeated slave-owning class, and America had entered the Gilded Age. Economic inequality exploded, eventually peaking in the early 20th century. By 1912, the nation’s top wealth holder, John D. Rockefeller, had $1 billion, the equivalent of 2.6 million annual wages—100 times higher than the top wealth holder had in 1790.
Then came the New York Stock Exchange collapse of 1929 and the Great Depression, which had a similar effect as the Civil War: Thousands of economic elites were plunged into the commoner class. In 1925, there were 1,600 millionaires, but by 1950, fewer than 900 remained. The size of America’s top fortune remained stuck at $1 billion for decades, inflation notwithstanding. By 1982, the richest American had $2 billion, which was equivalent to “only” 93,000 annual wages.
But here is where the two eras differed. Unlike the post–Civil War period, real wages steadily grew in the mid-20th century. And high taxes on the richest Americans helped reverse the wealth pump. The tax rate on top incomes, which peaked during World War II at 94 percent, stayed above 90 percent all the way until the mid-1960s. Height increased by a whopping 3 inches in roughly the first half of the 20th century. Life expectancy at age 10 increased by nearly a decade. By the 1960s, America had achieved a broad-based prosperity that was virtually unprecedented in human history.
The New Deal elites learned an important lesson from the disaster of the Civil War. The reversal of elite overproduction in both eras was similar in magnitude, but only after the Great Depression was it accomplished through entirely nonviolent means. The ruling class itself was an important part of this—or, at least, a prosocial faction of the ruling class, which persuaded enough of their peers to acquiesce to the era’s progressive reforms.
As the historian Kim Phillips-Fein wrote in Invisible Hands, executives and stockholders mounted an enormous resistance to the New Deal policies regulating labor–corporate relations. But by mid-century, a sufficient number of them had consented to the new economic order for it to become entrenched. They bargained regularly with labor unions. They accepted the idea that the state would have a role to play in guiding economic life and helping the nation cope with downturns. In 1943, the president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce—which today pushes for the most extreme forms of neoliberal market fundamentalism—said, “Only the willfully blind can fail to see that the old-style capitalism of a primitive, free-shooting period is gone forever.” President Dwight Eisenhower, considered a fiscal conservative for his time, wrote to his brother:
Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things … Their number is negligible and they are stupid.
Barry Goldwater ran against Lyndon Johnson in 1964 on a platform of low taxes and anti-­union rhetoric. By today’s standards, Goldwater was a middle-of-the-road conservative. But he was regarded as radical at the time, too radical even for many business leaders, who abandoned his campaign and helped bring about his landslide defeat.
The foundations of this broad-based postwar prosperity—and for the ruling elite’s eventual acquiescence to it—were established during the Progressive era and buttressed by the New Deal. In particular, new legislation guaranteed unions’ right to collective bargaining, introduced a minimum wage, and established Social Security. American elites entered into a “fragile, unwritten compact” with the working classes, as the United Auto Workers president Douglas Fraser later described it. This implicit contract included the promise that the fruits of economic growth would be distributed more equitably among both workers and owners. In return, the fundamentals of the political-economic system would not be challenged. Avoiding revolution was one of the most important reasons for this compact (although not the only one). As Fraser wrote in his famous resignation letter from the Labor Management Group in 1978, when the compact was about to be abandoned, “The acceptance of the labor movement, such as it has been, came because business feared the alternatives.”
We are still suffering the consequences of abandoning that compact. The long history of human society compiled in our database suggests that America’s current economy is so lucrative for the ruling elites that achieving fundamental reform might require a violent revolution. But we have reason for hope. It is not unprecedented for a ruling class—with adequate pressure from below—to allow for the nonviolent reversal of elite overproduction. But such an outcome requires elites to sacrifice their near-term self-interest for our long-term collective interests. At the moment, they don’t seem prepared to do that.

Goetia

♫ Shikisai ~The Time of Parting Hath Come~ ♫
This thread is a collaboration with InverseFlash and rsthethird, who helped with feat-gathering, as well as Proletlariet, who helped with formatting. Thanks!

Background

Beast I. One of the Seven Evils of Humanity, possessing the principle of "Pity".
The King of Mages, Solomon, gathered 72 demons in his life that he fashioned into "a system to promote reason in humans"--a sort of magical logic network. After some time, the demons gained self-awareness and merged into a collective being.
This being, the amalgamation of the 72 Demons, became known as Goetia.
When Solomon died, the demons were sealed away inside his corpse. The awakened Goetia at first assumed Solomon's identity. Through his eyes, they witnessed the extent of human suffering that Solomon, for all the king's vast power, had failed to address. They became disillusioned with their host, and hatched a plan to remake the world without its imperfections by travelling back in time.

King of Mages - "Solomon"

"Plead for help. Raise your mewling voice. For it is the time for you to drown in the sea of anguish! Behold this festival of flame that set ablaze the altar, rendered in its resplendence!"

♫ The Time of Coronation Hath Come ♫
Prior to revealing himself, Goetia posed as King Solomon while possessing his corpse..
Controlling Solomon granted Goetia a variety of abilities, namely the class container of "Grand", which allowed him to outclass any normal Servant by virtue of this.

Physical Feats/Power

• Manifested himself after his own death via his own will, and therefore doesn't need to rely on any sort of magical energy support like normal Servants
• Mordred claims his power exceeds that of a dragon, with Shakesphere going on to say he has 'infinite' magical energy, although he's likely exaggerating
• Tamamo-No-Mae claims that, even if she got all nine of her tails and became "a great demon strong enough to destroy the multiverse" that "[Solomon] is a threat threat enough to rival" her in that state
• When comparing him as Solomon to the Beast of the Seventh Singularity (later revealed to be Tiamat), the Lion King flips around the idea of who might be more of a threat to humanity
  • Kingu/Enkidu later claims that Tiamat is on par or superior to him
• Command spells wouldn't work on Solomon
• Engages with an extensive fight with Mash, hurting her with an attack
• Takes a blow from Mash that 'reaches the core of [his] body'

Clairvoyance

It has been said that Solomon's clairvoyance can see through the past and the future.
Because Clairvoyance is a skill furnished on the flesh, Goetia can also use it.

• Claims that he can 'see everything' and 'all possible futures', but cannot track things which exist outside of time
• [Limit] Even with his Clairvoyance, he didn't foresee the appearance of the Beast of the Seventh Singularity, Tiamat
• Goetia used Solomon's clairvoyance to perceive all human suffering in the past, present, and future
• Solomon sent one of his rings over 3,000 years into the future to act as a catalyst for his own summoning as a Heroic Spirit, putting into motion the events that would lead to Goetia's defeat
• Solomon used his Clairvoyance shortly before turning into a human with no powers to foresee the Incineration of Humanity in 2018 from 2004
• Gives him an unobstructed view of the past and future, as well as x-ray vision

Magecraft / Magic

Offensive

• Solomon/Goetia can summon any of the 72 Demon God Pillars at will, described as him projecting them out from his inner world to the outside world
  • Summons four at once that defeat Kintoki, Tamamo, and Shakespeare. Implies that he can summon far more of them
• Anderson is astonished at how badly he's hurt blocking just a single one of his attack spells
• A second spell rips Anderson into hundreds of pieces and then burns him into a crisp
• Goetia incinerates all living things on the planet at once just with his gaze, a feat characters in the story assumed he would need a powerful technique to accomplish

Utility

• Uses magic similar to a Rayshift to transport himself to the London Singularity
• Generates a field around himself that passively blocks Sheba's ability to observe him, as well as Romani's ability to communicate via hologram
• His field blocks Chaldeas' ability to Rayshift Fujimaru and Mash out of London
• Likely broke the seal binding Tiamat out of existence, though Ishtar notes that human mages might have done it
• Inserts images into Mash and Ritsuka's heads while they're mid-Rayshift
• Has a countermeasure that prevents using magic to predict his actions
• Has the ability to hasten his magical incantations, create magical constructs, and make magical territories via Solomon's class skills
• Goetia has nine of Solomon's 10 Rings. If all 10 were brought together, Solomon/Goetia would invalidate any magecraft used by mankind against him and put them under his control
  • Reference of what can be accomplished with magecraft

Evil Eye

Curse

• Solomon has become a walking curse, such that saying his name or looking him in the eye will remove a person's soul and imprison it
• By just looking at him, Mash begins to quake in fear for reasons she can't explain. Her soul might have been imprisoned in the false reality forever if a friend's out of character behavior hadn't tipped her off
• Tamamo with two of her tails believes she'd be vulnerable to the curse
• A person who's been afflicted with the Evil Eye has trouble remembering Solomon's appearance, and even video recordings of him are covered in static
• Even a drawn picture of Solomon can inflict the Evil Eye without special anti-curse precautions

Prison

• To escape, the soul must complete a set of trials within seven days, or death ensues
• Only the soul is imprisoned in the false reality, while the body remains behind. The soul experiences time at a much longer rate in the false world than the body does in the real one with seven days for the soul being equal to one for the body
• The prison's trials drag in fragments of the souls of the prisoner's acquaintances to serve as obstacles, it can do this even to heroic spirits, who have superhumanly powerful souls

Beast I - Goetia

"Well, I will rid myself of the title "King of Mages.”
"There's no more need for deception. I had no name, but if you want to call me something, call me this:"
"I am the one who shall attain true wisdom, as was desired of me. I am the one who shall devour you to reach a new height, and create a new planet."
"I am the one who shall gather 72 curses, and set flame to all of history. I am the Ritual for the Incineration of Humanity."
"I am Goetia, the King of Demon Gods."

♫ Shikisai ~The Time of Parting Hath Come~ ♫
The form Goetia takes after he abandons Solomon's corpse partway through the final battle.
His body is a central core surrounded by the 72 "Demon Pillars" that comprise him.

Collective

General Power and Information

• Hid in Solomon's body for three thousand years in Ars Paulina without any adverse effects due to the passage of time
• Is a "living summoning spell" that hid itself in Solomon's corpse and later gained a will of its own and physically incarnated as a Beast
• Describes himself as a higher-dimensional being that no longer requires flesh or blood. Due to being Solomon's familiars, he shared in Solomon's Clairvoyance
• Due to being an amalgamation of the 72 Demon Gods, which each have individual personalities, Goetia's personality will mirror that of someone who interacts with him on a surface level
• His existence is fixed, meaning he's immune to 'instant death' effects as well as temporal effects, like the paradoxes generated by incinerating human history
• A weakened Beast VII, or the Foreign God, is stated to be the most powerful thing Chaldea has faced since Goetia, with her magical energy being called a "third class planet" to Goetia's "second class planet"

Physical Feats

• Moves so fast he appears to teleport next to Solomon, before bloodying him with a barrage of punches and bombarding him with energy projectiles from his arms
• [Weakened] Ritsuka has trouble blocking his blows with Mash's shield, but can do so long enough for Goetia to die due to Ars Nova
• [Weakened] Knocked back by a Command Spell amplified punch from Ritsuka

The Beast Class
The entire space of Solomon's temple gives Da Vinci the same Beast Class reading she saw from Tiamat.

• Goetia's Beast Class Skill, Nega Summon, allows him to negate through "invalidation, invincible, absorption, reduction" any attacks or Noble Phantasms generated by Heroic Spirits, although this skill was nullified by King Solomon's actions at the end of the Final Singularity
• The Evils of Humanity, or Beasts, are summoned in a chain, meaning that Goetia's manifestation heralded the appearance of other Beasts

Individual Demon Pillars

Power

• Demon Pillars give off more magical energy than Servants or Phantasmals
• Demon Pillars are weaker while outside of Solomon's Temple, due to their cells dying off
• Demon Pillars have a "Spirit Core" like Servants, as well as innate magical energy, which can be used to fuel other spells (such as one to create pancakes) if defeated
• Require groups of Servants to defeat under normal conditions
• They have comparable power to Kingu during the Babylonian Singularity
• A Demon Pillar is compared to the energy output of a Servant empowering themselves with a Holy Grail
  • The corpse of a Demon Pillar can become a source of magical power similar to a Grail if fused with a servant, and possessing a strong will not to die

Strength

• Eight Demon God Pillars wrapping around the Chaldea building deal catastrophic damage to it and nearly destroy it
  • Reference of how large Chaldea is, the building's size can be compared to hallways connecting the structures in it
• Groups of them tear through the stone and marble of Solomon's throne when called to Goetia, reducing it to ruins
• Erupts out of the floor in a metal observation room, then attacks and absorbs a number of researchers

Damage Output
Demon Pillars attack in a number of ways:

• Various forms of spontaneous explosions that can cover multiples of meters
• Energy blasts that erupt from the ground
• Large storms of smoke that cover the battlefield
• Lasers, presumably fired from their eyes

These attacks are threatening to a variety of named servants:

• An attack from four Demon Pillars oneshot Kintoki, Tamamo, and Shakesphere
• Hurts and sends Robin Hood and Helena Blatvasky flying
• Spits out flames hot enough to burn Oda Nobunaga^FGO
• Draws blood on Fergus Lily, hurting him, although he's defeated in the overall fight against Astolfo, D'Eon, and Fergus
• Bloodies Wu Zetian with an attack

Durability
Favorable Interactions

• One takes a bullet from Francis Drake and continues to fight Mash, Ritsuka, and allies, although it loses the overall battle
• Li Shuwen has trouble injecting them with chi attacks, mostly due to their size
• Robin Hood's 'Yew Bow' and Elizabeth Bathory's weaponized singing don't do anything to them
• Tesla's Noble Phantasm, 'System Keranos', doesn't appear to do much to them, neither does a combined attack from Tesla and Edison's Noble Phantasms
• Lancer Li Shuwen breaks his spear on one
• Cursed Arm and Serenity have no means of harming them, even with Serenity's poison
• Oda Nobunaga's special attacks and bullets have no effect on Demon God Pillars
• Takes a hit from three bullets fired from EMIYA Alter and doesn't seem bothered by it moments later
• A Demon Pillar in its humanoid form take a blast of magic from the Queen of Sheba and is fine
• Takes fire produced by Chacha's abilities and fights Ritsuka, Okita, Nobunaga, and Hijikata, although it ultimately loses the fight
• A recreation of the Demon God Pillars gets bombarded with meteors from outer space by Astrea's Noble Phantasm, and continues to fight with Grey and Astrea, with Astrea commenting it was just as strong as the originals

Limits

• A suicide Noble Phantasm release from Arjuna kills twenty-eight of them
• Altera destroys one with Teardrop Photon Ray
• Mordred destroys one with Clarent Blood Arthur
• Bedivere takes out three pillars with an activation of his Noble Phantasm
• Okita Souji slices apart several pillars
• Edmond Dantes was able to take out a pillar by himself
• Ritsuka and his allies (in this case EMIYA Alter and Artoria Alter) were able to kill a Demon God Pillar
• One is defeated by Gawain, although Ritsuka notes it seemed particularly weak

Powers
Immortality

• The 72 Demon Gods are all part of the same magecraft ritual associated with Solomon, so as long as Solomon exists, they'll continue to exist even if destroyed
• After Mash kills Flauros, he instantly re-appears, with Mash describing this as an entirely new separate entity being born, and not some form of regeneration or resurrection
  • Vlad the Impaler runs out of stakes to hit them with due to how fast/often they were doing this
• Killing all 72 at once would be required to actually kill them for good
• Creating new demon pillars to replace fallen ones does draw away power from the center of Solomon's Temple, giving Chaldea entryway to the center of Ars Paulina
• Nightingale claims that killing them for good would require destroying all of Ars Paulina
• Even after escaping the Temple of Time and losing their proper immortality, individual demon pillars live for over 3,000 years to plot against Ritsuka

Other

• Demon Pillars can fuse with Heroic Spirits, even against their will
  • When Phenex did this with Scheherazade,, the two could trade places and transform into one another
  • A Heroic Spirit temporarily integrated into Goetia's hivemind via this process gained access to information he could use to calculate out events related to the Incineration of Humanity
  • Merging with a Heroic Spirit gives a Demon Pillar protection from its skills, such as Scheherazade's inability to be killed by Kings
• A number of Demon God Pillars were able to escape the Temple of Time's destruction while leaving ripples in space-time, this being an extradimensional space outside of time
• A number of Demon God Pillars demonstrate the ability to possess humans
• As of the events of Lady Reines' Case Files, Ritsuka has killed so many Demon Pillars that just inserting information about him into facsimiles of them cause them to get significantly weaker

King of Humans - Goetia

"The Demon Gods have burned away. My temple is destroyed. My grand plan for the Incineration of Human Order dies with me. But, I will at least deny you this final victory. Let us begin... Master of Chaldea. I shall annihilate you, and all you've achieved, with my own hands."

♫ GRAND LAST BATTLE ♫
Despite Ars Nova ending Solomon's spell that bound the 72 Demons together, Goetia manages to linger long enough for one last fight. However, in this weakened state he can be defeated by a punch from Ritsuka.

Noble Phantasms

Ars Almadel Salomonis: The Time of Birth has Come, He is the One who Masters All

"Then I shall show you. The end of your journey. The demise of human history that will redo this planet. The moment my great undertaking is completed! Third Noble Phantasm, deploy. The Time of Birth has Come, He is the One who Masters All. Now, burn up like trash!"
"Ars Almadel Salomonis!"

• Rank: EX
• Type: Anti-Unit/Anti-Human Order Noble Phantasm
• Range: ?
• Maximum target: ? person

Goetia's third Noble Phantasm. The "" of original sin. A belt of light that announces mankind’s demise.
Goetia is able to manipulate this belt of light in order to collect, accelerate and converge portions of it, travelling through the timestream or otherwise influencing it.
Singularities
For his plan to work, Goetia needed to make cause and effect stop working, so he can set fire to multiple periods of time in history at the same time.
He enables this by destabilizing human history with Singularities. These are turning points in human history that he's sent Holy Grails (powerful magic artifacts) to change important historical events.
Reference of what Holy Grails can do
Creation

• Singularities are key turning points in human history that have been interfered with, causing aberrations in the timestream. Goetia's Incineration of Humanity involved seven primary Singularities
• Resolving individual singularities will not fix the timestream. Only resolving all seven will set things right
• Solomon caused some Singularities by sending his Demon Pillars to different eras to directly alter historical events
  • These Demon Gods were embedded in King Solomon's descendants and activated like sleeper agents all at once in 2018
  • Goetia hid his Demon Pillars inside of the magic circuits passed down generationally by mages so he could seed them at specific points in history
• Solomon sent one of these grails directly backwards through time to Babylon, and and removing it is especially necessary to keep human history from burning
• Goetia's singularities had such a profound effect on human history that it rippled to other timelines, and caused singularities to still pop up after he was defeated

Structure/Attributes

• Singularities are cut off from the rest of the timeline, existing apart from the past or the future
• Singularities are immune to time paradoxes, so Ritsuka and Mash fighting soldiers in the past doesn't have any adverse affects
• Singularities are bound to a specific area, which can vary between the size of a city to the entire United States

Incineration of Human History
Once human history is destabilized, Goetia 'sets fire' to every moment of it and lets it burn. The energy is then collected as "Spiritrons" (magical energy) and raw heat.
Of course, this has catastrophic affects on the timeline.

• Chaldeas lost its ability to sense the future, or detect the outside world - this was because there was no more outside world to detect, as Goetia's Incineration of Humanity destroyed the timeline
• Despite being able to Rayshift to different points in time, Chaldea can only travel between Singularities because the rest of the timeline has been eradicated
• The Incineration of Humanity also affected The Land of Shadows, a realm described as being sundered from the mortal world
• The Incineration of Humanity burned all biological matter on Earth across all points in time as fuel to reset the universe
• Goetia needed to create Singularities to in order to weaken "the strength of human history" enough to carry out the Incineration of Humanity. Singularities break up the timeline into fractured chunks, allowing for the paradox necessary to incinerate matter during all points in its existence

Bands of Light
Finally, this energy is then channeled into Goetia's temple, and refined into bands of light that he can control and release at will. Either as weapons, or as fuel to for his ultimate goal: time travel to the creation of the Earth.

• Each Singularity Ritsuka and company travel to have a series of light bands encircling the sky present. These are around the size of North America
• These bands of light are the manifestation of Goetia's Noble Phantasm locking the rotation of the planet in place for the Incineration of Humanity
• Each individual band of light has comparable heat output to Artoria Alter's Holy Sword. The Noble Phantasm manifests hundreds of millions of them at once
  • Respect Artoria Alter
• Ushiwakamaru Alter claims the band of light are the only thing that could destroy Tiamat's corrupted ocean
• One of the Demon Pillars claims it could be used to incinernate all the Heroic Spirits summoned to fight in the Temple of Time
• The bands of light could burn away the outer layers of the planet. Mash says nothing on Earth could match their energy output
• Manifests as a beam of light from the sky that clashes with Mash wielding Lord Camelot. While Mash is able to block the attack, it still vaporizes her through her shield
• After Goetia is defeated, the bands of light start to release their energy into the atmosphere with nobody to control them. Da Vinci says the effect of this would be like a supernova
• The magical energy circulated between the Trees of Emptiness, and channeled into the Atlantis Lostbelt to summon the Foreign God had already built up to the same level of power as the Bands of Light prior Chaldea entering it
• [Limit] Even if they were collected and used to attack Chaos, the Bands of Light wouldn't be able to destroy it
  • Chaos is a mechanical being whose core is an entire star, otherwise known as a Dyson Sphere

Reality Marbles are essentially self-contained dimensions that 'paint over the world' in a given area. Here's a better schematic explaining what they do.
Physical Structure and Location

• His temple resides outside of time, and can only be found by tracking back its location from the Seventh Grail
  • Da Vinci and Romani have no methods to track Goetia returning to his temple
• Chaldea pinpointing its location by analyzing Goetia's Seventh Grail also opens a back door for Goetia to locate him in turn, and it begins to pull him out of the timeline to itself
• Described as a "miniature model of the universe" containing no other celestial bodies, about the size of a cell when compared to the universe proper
  • There's still sort of celestial background present inside of it
• The temple lacks a concept of time. This property facilitated the Incineration of Humanity
• A recreation of the Temple is too cold for normal life to survive in it

Properties

• The route to the throne itself is blocked by a swirling tempest of "incalculable" amounts of magical energy, with Da Vinci believing Chaldea had to destroy areas around it to have a chance of getting through
  • The throne is accessible after Mash and Ritsuka remove this magical energy tempest via a fissure in space a kilometer long
• The temple has a similar composition as the Greater Grail of Fuyuki. It is made up of of Solomon's magic circuits, which form a small self-contained universe
• The throne is a giant magic summoning circle with planetary magecraft at its core

Ars Nova

• Rank: D
• Type: Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm
• Range: -
• Maximum target: 1 person

Goetia: Light Band Convergence Ring

• Goetia prepared his endgoal feat from the Incineration of Humanity as a 'virtual Noble Phantasm' due to not knowing the purpose or how to activate the original
• This ultimate feat, which he would use all the energy collected by Ars Almadel Salomonis to accomplish, would have him travel 4.6 billion years into the past to the birth of the planet, where he would then change the starting conditions of the world so that death did not exist, with him supplanting the planet with his own body

Solomon: The Time of Parting has Come, He is the One who Lets Go of the World

• By having all his ten rings present between those worn by Goetia and himself, Solomon can recreate the legend of him giving all his rings back to God
  • Activates as Solomon slowly becoming engulfed in a pure white light while chanting
• After using it, everything related to Solomon is wiped from existence and rendered inert. This includes Goetia himself as Solomon brought the Demon Gods together, as well as Solomon's rings, and Solmon's ability to be summoned as a Heroic Spirit
• Although this doesn't instantly kill Goetia, the Demon Pillars that make him up finally start to die for good, and start separating from the collective

Individual Demon Pillars - Unique Abilities

While it's likely that Goetia possesses all these abilities as the composite of all Demon God Pillars, some of his components developed wills of their own and gained unique abilities before and after his destruction at the hands of Chaldea.

Flauros

• Flauros can change his shape between a human form, Lev Lainur, and his true Demon Pillar form^FGO
  • Some other Pillars can also do this, but they are more obviously inhuman
• Lev has a spell similar to a Command Spell, controlling Caligula's actions^FGO
• Helped create SHEBA under Goetia's guidance, which is a failsafe to detect and act against Demon Pillars that go rogue from Goetia's collective, SHEBA is an observational lens that can sense the near-future, and could give Chaldea detailed information from inside of a bubble that absorbed all forms of normal radiation
  • Had enough intelligence to react to the threat of the Salem Singularity and summon a Heroic Spirit to it by using itself as a catalyst

Andras

After separating from Goetia, Andras gained a self-awareness and will to live, and escaped from the Temple of Time near-death, but died afterwards. Even then, its 'vindictive desires' remained as a corpse that could maintain a being by fusing to a Heroic Spirit, summoning and doing so with Chacha and Hijikata to create a singularity-like space.

• The space created by Andras is completely disconnected from the past or future, and time inside of it doesn't progress, having carved the space out of time itself, or at least travelled to an existing space like this
• Nobukatsu used him in a ritual to summon a demonic castle where nothing inside can die, so that he and Nobunaga can live forever inside. It disappears when Andras is defeated
• Summons waves of corpses to fight Ritsuka and allies

Bael

• Somehow hacked into Ritsuka's Rayshift coordinates, which made all of his servants rayshifted with him go off in random directions and himself to spawn in hundreds of feet into the air
• While believing itself to be the heroic spirit Moriarty, Bael somehow fights Chaldea and disappears like a Heroic Spirit, only to re-appear as a demon pillar
• Learned how to fuse together Phantom and Heroic spirits, though Phantom Spirits cannot normally be summoned as complete entities
  • Fused together being from multiple legends to create Hessian Lobo, granting it composite abilities such as the Invisible Man's invisibility
  • Fused Moriarty with Der Freischütz, giving his weapon supernatural accuracy on the 7th shot, something that could even apply to objects as large as a meteor to make it strike Earth
  • Moriarty uses this method to absorb the defeated Sherlock Holmes

Phenex

• As the Demon God of Death, he isn't detected by Chaldea's scans for life because he's technically dead
• Despite being killed by Ritsuka and his allies, re-appears later in the body of a nearby corpse, transforming back into its demonic form
• Constantly regenerates from being attacked by D'Eon, Fergus, and Astolfo
• Endures Caladbolg's vortex, which destroyed a floating island big enough to house an entire forest and a mountain
• [Limit] Is hit with Wu Zeitan's Noble Phantasm, and still fights while being afflicted with it
  • The attack works by keeping Phenex in "state of both life and death", allowing Phenex to finally be weakenedand then killed
• Despite all of the above, it still has enough strength to try and attack Scheherazade, although it's killed with one last burst from Fergus' sword

Hey all, 23M most likely moving to Hoboken this fall from Seattle. I have little experience with the neighborhood, but been around NYC for a few years as I went to school in the northeast. The friend I’ll be moving in with has to commute to NJ so Manhattan is kind of out of the question for him commute-wise, hence our decision to move here. I’ll be working around Midtown/Times Square.
My friend group from college have all been living in the NYC metro area the past year and the general consensus from those living in Jersey City vs. the ones in Manhattan is that it’s pretty rough trying to get dates/take people home from those you meet in Manhattan (where I’d most likely be spending most of my weekend nights out). From previous threads on this though it seems like Hoboken itself has a pretty good young, postgrad crowd.
Just wanted to hear some recent thoughts/perspectives on this. In Seattle it’s not crazy to go on dates with people who are 20-30 min away, but everyone I talk to acts like taking the PATH is some crazy hardship when it’s a similar amount of time, lol.

Eight companies get funding to drive US leadership in fusion energy

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced a $46 million investment in fusion energy development. Aimed at bolstering research, development, and commercial viability, the funding will aid eight companies in different states. The hope is to kindle an energy revolution akin to creating the power of the sun right here on Earth.

Green energy plan

In line with President Biden’s commitment to achieve a net-zero economy by 2050, this funding serves as a significant leap towards realizing a pilot-scale demonstration of fusion energy within a decade. U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm emphasizes, “Fusion offers the potential to create the power of the sun right here on Earth. The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to partnering with innovative researchers and companies across the country to take fusion energy past the lab and toward the grid.”

Fusion commercialization with Milestone-Based Fusion Development Program

The funding, made available through the Milestone-Based Fusion Development Program, aims to solidify the U.S.’s position as a leader in fusion commercialization. As this clean, non-carbon emitting energy source becomes more accessible, it will revolutionize how America addresses its energy needs. U.S. Representative Chuck Fleischmann confirms, “Commercial fusion energy will revolutionize the energy industry…This is a major step to developing commercial fusion energy that will transform how America meets its energy needs.”

The eight awardees: building the future of fusion energy

The eight companies that will benefit from the funding include:

• Commonwealth Fusion Systems (Cambridge, MA)
• Focused Energy Inc. (Austin, TX)
• Princeton Stellarators Inc. (Branchburg, NJ)
• Realta Fusion Inc. (Madison, WI)
• Tokamak Energy Inc. (Bruceton Mills, WV)
• Type One Energy Group (Madison, WI)
• Xcimer Energy Inc. (Redwood City, CA)
• Zap Energy Inc. (Everett, WA)

Fulfilling the bold vision for commercial fusion energy
This recent funding allocation underscores the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to a bold decadal vision for commercial fusion energy. Following a White House summit in March 2022, the DOE’s investment is a significant step towards achieving this ambitious goal.

Implication for disadvantaged communities

One of the key criteria in the selection process for the funding was the companies’ alignment with President Biden’s Justice40 Initiative. This initiative aims to ensure that 40% of the overall benefits of certain climate and energy investments flow to disadvantaged communities.

Conclusion

As we stand on the cusp of the fourth industrial revolution, the profound fusion energy project gives us a glimmer of a future defined by limitless, clean energy. This substantial funding not only accelerates the fusion commercialization journey but also reinforces the U.S.’s position as a vanguard of this transformative endeavor. By aligning this pursuit with social equity goals, the DOE exemplifies how progress can be both pioneering and inclusive, setting a standard for global energy leadership.

Storytime…
I’m sharing this story because it was such a ridiculous experience and show of force and authority in an area we’ve been going to for years for the sole purpose of soaking up the peace and natural beauty.
A few weeks ago a group of friends all in our mid-thirties / early-forties spent a weekend canoe camping on the Jersey side of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.
We’ve been doing this trip more or less since 2006 and have never EVER run into a ranger.
It was about 8 am, I was pouring a cup of coffee when three rangers walked into (ambushed) our site. While the lead ranger announced his presence and asked everyone still in their tents to come out slowly (so ridiculous), the other rangers spread out eyeing everything we had in the camp. Their tone was friendly but at the same time oddly aggressive.
The lead ranger immediately states that he smells weed and wants to know who has it. Although yes, we had weed in various forms, it’s camping who doesn’t, it was all in very small quantity and absolutely no way he could’ve smelled it because it was 8 am and no one was burning anything.
Knowing that weed is now legal in New Jersey, those who had it fessed up not really thinking twice about it. Ranger got an immediate boner and began his lecture about how it’s still banned federally and because we are in fact on federal land (but still in NJ) we have broken the law.
They corralled us into a circle around our smoldering fire pit and had us all sit while they conducted “an investigation”.
The two rangers created a perimeter around us watching our every move. Even asking us at times not to move or to put our coffee mugs down implying we might use them as weapons. Again, oddly aggressive. The lead ranger asked where it was and led us one by one to wherever we had the weed stored.
It got a little tense because we couldn’t exactly remember where we had put it the previous night before falling asleep. In our bags? In our pants we wore the previous night? On the table? It’s camping, things get strewn about all over the place and of course we had been drinking and smoking the night before so things were a little foggy…and it’s fucking 8 am.
Our one friend couldn’t seem to find his stash or remember exactly where it was, so lead officer began rummaging through his bag and tent himself. Not even sure that was legal. Finding nothing in the tent or bag, he then had our friend place his hands behind his back. Lead officer grabbed both his wrists and pushed them hard into his lower back. An aggressive move making it difficult for friend to stand straight. Lead officer began a pat down of our friend finding nothing.
He turned to us, we gave him what we had (two pre-rolls and two cartridges). He’d go on to cut us a “break” and give us one $280 ticket instead of the three he was threatening us with. And just like that they were on their way.
Thankfully we all kept our cool and sort of instinctually realized that if one of us tried to challenge the lead ranger we were going to jail. He just had that look like he was itching to ruin our weekend and would’ve loved every second of it.
In the end, it really felt like their intention was a quick money grab to show their superiors they’re good at their jobs and can bring in revenue. The unintended consequence of that is a hit to tourism, because I can tell you right now that was our last time we’ll ever camp in the DWG area and if anyone else experienced something like that up there this past weekend, I imagine they’re thinking the same.
So, for those planning on bringing the devils lettuce on a canoe camping trip on the banks of the Delaware River this summer, this is your warning. Hide it well and deny any searches.

I'm 28M from Brooklyn, NYC, and rolling solo for Friday + Saturday to check out VTSS, LSDXOXO, Channel Tres, Avalon Emerson, Overmono, TSHA, Fred again..., Skrillex, and Four Tet.
