I'm OBSESSED this this narrative concept:

LAYERS!!!

And I'm gonna use Homestuck (and other stuff) as an example because you can't fucking stop me hashasha.

I'm not talking about layers of meaning and that, it's part of it but not the manin focus. What I'm talking about is the way a story grows from a setting derivated from another story form another setting in another story...

Why is Homestuck so fucking difficult to explain? The main plot is simple: A bunch of kids play a game and try to win. I mean, it's quite awful but THAT is the main plot. Now, it's impossible to break down this simple plot into any specific scene without killing someone i the process. Who is Davepetasprite you ask? Oh, well is a LONG story...

The first layer is the game itself. We define how if works, what is the goal, which ones are the obstacles and how it must be played. All of that is explained and detailed.

But, if you read Homestuck you understand that while Sburb is the base, no one cares about it because suddendly Sburb is not the only thing is game. Now that we have the first layer we can go up and start with the next one: What if we fucked the game?

If we were only in the first layer (Sburb) the story would be about the kids's shenanigans playing (and probably winning) the game within the riles it exists by. The main antagonist will be the Black King, reaching God Tier would be a more significant thing along with the Citizen's choice, etc. That would be ALL.

But now that we have decided to fuck arounf, we'll find ourselves out in a new layer. Now the story is about how we scape from the rules that the game throw over us. We can see this specially when Grimdark Rose Lalonde discovers that their session is destined to fail. Now the antagonist is not the Black King anymore. Is the game itself.

And we can go above another layer: The trolls. Now you know how Sburb works and you undertand that there is something beyond the game itself. And here is that the trolls make their presence. Your game is just part of a bigger trouble, a snow ball started billions of years ago from an alien race that you don't even undertand completely. And guess what, their Empress is coming for your ass. Another fucking layer! Beyond the game, beyond the Medium, beyond your universe is another universe.

And if you thought I was forgetting about Lord English, here comes the cherry on top of this layered ice cream (can ice creams have layers?). The Status Quo of Earth A is our first layer and above if grows Sburb, the second layer. Over the game grows another layer, the Universes, and over it, Lord English. The forth layer. You can't have one without the previous one. We can only understand what is the place of Lord English in all of this if we understand how itgrows from the begining. Every layer adds another goals, antagonists and meaning at the story. It creates a new brach of the narrative.

From starting a game with your friends, to prevent the end of the world, to fight against the Black King and Queen, to hide from Bec Noir, to fight with the Condesce to face Lord English to create a new universe.

Now, changing the subject, we can apply the same analisis to another piece: The Stanley Parable.

The game have a very straightforward goal: Don't go away from the narrative. The Narrator is the presence that makes us this imposition. Follow his instructions, turn off the Mind Control Machine and be free. That is the second layer. The second layer? Yes! Because the introduction is the fisrt layer and is based in this one that the Alpha Narrtive makes sense.

But what happens if we decide to make things different. We go into the realms of the Third Layer. A story about a story about a story. Like the Confusion Ending and our first encounter with the Yellow Line™. It™ spoils us a glipse from the Alpha Narrative, turning the Narrator angry and devastated. In order to break the narrative, we'll need first a narrative to break. That's the core of all of this analysis. Now that we are in the Third Layer we have a new narrative to break! And that's what happens in the Ultra Deluxe edition, when the Narrator makes references to this and other endings. Say hello to Forth Layer! A story about a story about a story about a story.

Someone commented that if her hair was like mine she would never braid it ever again.Usually when someone throws such a comment my way I usually go on a hairxplanation trying to convince them on how possible it for them to rock their hair but this time I didn't. Her comment reminded me of how I used to be that girl.That girl who didn't think that her hair was good enough due to all the _ve comments I received about my hair while growing up and so I keep it short. Her comment reminded me of how I used to admire and envy girls who I used to think had good hair.It reminded me of my cousin who once told me that my husband would become interested in girls out there who "make" their hair is I didn't do something about mine.It reminded of when I started to grow out my my hair and my first attempt on doing a puff and a close friend told me he didn't like the way I did my hair.What if I had given up then? Over the years I have shuttered the myths about my hair.I have learnt that it actually grows.That I don't have to put myself through pain while doing my hair just to fit into the status quo.That I can actually live without going into the salon after every month or so.That my hair actually loves water (no more panicking when it suddenly starts to rain).That I can live dandruff free and most importantly that my hair is BEAUTIFUL kinks and all. #itgrows#selflove #rockingmyfro #naturalhairstyles #4chair#naturalista#rockingmynaturalhair https://www.instagram.com/p/B37iKXpgAlU/?igshid=souguwclvtn5

Didi Taihuttu, the father and husband of the Bitcoin Family shares life advice extending to happiness, charity and Bitcoin nomadism in a Cointelegraph video interview. Seasoned crypto enthusiasts will remember Didi Taihuttu as the man who went all-in on Bitcoin (BTC) in 2016. He sold his and his family’s possessions. camping out in the Netherlands while he waited for Bitcoin to the moon.In an interview with Cointelegraph, Taihuttu recalls how it felt to own almost nothing but Bitcoin, 6 years ago:“I don’t have any cars, motorbikes, nothing. And I’m happier than ever. And she [Taihuttu's wife] agrees! At that moment we decide to break that chain and lead by example for the kids.”He explains his realization that life is about accumulating happiness, “instead of accumulating wealth.” Hence, the Bitcoin Family was born. The three daughters “only have Bitcoin, not bank accounts,” while the parents have never looked back on their former lives. The fivesome has spent the past five years traveling the world, settling on Southern Portugal as one nomadic base for living. They're in good company to promote the Bitcoiner lifestyle down there; Portugal is a growing hub for the seminal cryptocurrency.Taihuttu concedes that there are, of course, challenges regarding how to travel the world living off a Bitcoin standard–particularly while looking after three teenage daughters. However, it hasn’t stopped other explorer families from following in their footsteps. Taihuttu cites that “six families” have since sold all their possessions, à la Bitcoin Family, to enjoy the Bitcoin lifestyle. The Bitcoin Family. Source: thebitcoinfamily.comCloser to home, Taihuttu orange-pilled his brother and sister, even persuading them to take part in the traveling lifestyle. He concludes that “the decentralized digital nomad lifestyle is the future.” Taihuttu is wildly generous, giving away something in the order of 40% of his wealth to charities. Profits from trading, affiliate links, book sales, merchandise sales and other “digital nomad” activities are funneled into charity projects. Bitcoin Family charity projects.

As the video details with a Mario illustration, it’s a three-step process to orange pill and establish a charity.Teach BitcoinLearn how to exchange itGrow adoptionWhile the projects are not born Bitcoin-only, they are certainly not centralized:“The CEO of a centralized organization [charity] will be driving a BMW. We don’t want that, we do peer to peer.” The objective for Taihuttu is to engage with other orange-pilled people wherever they travel. They then sit down together and scope out the sources of concern, addressing the issues that would make the biggest positive impact. The process stems from one of Taihuttu’s many mantras, “Everyone with a heartbeat and a telephone should be able to transact value all over the world.” Bitcoin is that solution and it should inevitably become an intrinsic part of charity projects. In all, although the Bitcoin Family will continue their world travels, their focus is now firmly on Europe. El Salvador and the next country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender are of course attractive travel destinations, but Taihuttu is passionate about his home continent’s journey towards Bitcoin adoption.

Quinta edição do programa Acertar o Rumo arranca em setembro com 25 formandos

A 5.ª edição do Programa Acertar o Rumo, que se destina aos licenciados de outras áreas que queiram integrar o mercado de trabalho das tecnologias de informação, vai arrancar em setembro, com 25 formandos.

Em declarações à agência Lusa, a diretora-geral da iTGrow, Catarina Fonseca, explicou que a componente letiva deste programa arranca a 27 de setembro, na Universidade de Coimbra.

“Este curso destina-se a pessoas com cursos superiores noutras áreas, que estejam numa situação de descontentamento com a sua situação profissional atual e que queiram direcionar o seu rumo para a área da informática, onde ainda existem muitas oportunidades de emprego e várias empresas a recrutar”, sustentou.

O programa é constituído por duas componentes, decorrendo numa primeira fase a componente letiva, ao longo de um ano letivo, em que os formandos aprendem a programar em Java, na Universidade de Coimbra. No ano seguinte, tem lugar um estágio profissional remunerado, numa das empresas aderentes ao programa.

Até domingo decorre a primeira fase das candidaturas da quinta edição do Programa Acertar o Rumo, no entanto, de 16 de agosto a 10 de setembro será aberta uma segunda fase de candidaturas.

“O objetivo destas duas fases é selecionar 25 formandos. Como este programa implica o pagamento de uma propina na Universidade de Coimbra e destina-se a pessoas que estão numa situação de desemprego, fazemos um esforço muito grande por tentar em contexto de recrutamento verificar se os candidatos reúnem ou não condições de sucesso no programa”, justificou.

Apesar de só serem selecionados 25 formandos, as edições do programa contam habitualmente com cerca de 200 candidaturas.

“Há uma preocupação muito grande em perceber se cada um dos candidatos vai ser uma aposta ganha. Como fazemos uma seleção dos candidatos tão criteriosa, todos têm sucesso na componente letiva e ficam a trabalhar nas empresas onde fazem estágio: é empregabilidade a 100%”, referiu.

De acordo com Catarina Fonseca, o programa tem uma propina de 2.850 euros, paga na totalidade pelos formandos.

“Temos o apoio institucional do IEFP e os formandos que recebem subsídio de desemprego, por exemplo, mantêm-no durante a fase letiva do curso, ficando ainda dispensados da procura ativa de trabalho. O BPI tem um prémio de mérito para o melhor aluno, que vê o valor da propina ser restituído na totalidade”, concluiu.
