Shannon L. Alder
Fear can make you do more wrong than hate or jealousy. If you’re afraid you don’t commit yourself to life completely; fear makes you always, always hold something back. You shouldn’t be alone. It’s killing you; it’s undermining you. All the time, every day, you should be somewhere with people.
Philip K. Dick (Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said)
Sorry,” Kiersten says to Lake and I. “Mom says the FCC is responsible for inventing cusswords just for media shock value. She says if everyone would just use them enough, they wouldn’t be considered cusswords anymore and no one would ever be offended by them” This kid is hard to keep up with! “Your mother encourages you to cuss?” Gavin says. Kiersten nods. “I don’t see it that way. It’s more like she’s encouraging us to undermine a system flawed through overuse of words that are made out to be harmful, when in fact they’re just letters, mixed together like every other word. That’s all they are, mixed up letters. Like, take the word “butterfly” for example. What if someone decided one day that butterfly is a cussword? People would eventually start using butterfly as an insult, and to emphasize things in a negative way. The actual WORD doesn’t mean anything. It’s the negative association people give these words that make them cusswords. So if we all just decided to keep saying butterfly all the time, eventually people would stop caring. The shock value would subside…and it would just become another word again. Same with every other so-called bad word. If we would all just start saying them all the time, They wouldn’t be bad anymore. That’s what my mom says anyway.” “Kiersten?” Eddie says. “Will you be my new best friend?” Lake grabs a french fry off her plate and throws it at Eddie, hitting her in the face with it. “That’s Bullshit,” Lake says. “Oh, go BUTTERFLY yourself,” Eddie says. She returns a fry in Lakes direction.
Colleen Hoover (Point of Retreat (Slammed, #2))
If you care about other people, that's now a very dangerous idea. If you care about other people, you might try to organize to undermine power and authority. That's not going to happen if you care only about yourself. Maybe you can become rich, but you don't care whether other people's kids can go to school, or can afford food to eat, or things like that. In the United States, that's called "libertarian" for some wild reason. I mean, it's actually highly authoritarian, but that doctrine is extremely important for power systems as a way of atomizing and undermining the public.
Noam Chomsky
There's a class of things to be afraid of: it's "those things that you should be afraid of". Those are the things that go bump in the night, right? You're always exposed to them when you go to horror movies, especially if they're not the gore type of horror movie. They're always hinting at something that's going on outside of your perceptual sphere, and they frighten you because you don't know what's out there. For that the Blair Witch Project was a really good example, because nothing ever happens in that movie but it's frightenting and not gory. It plays on the fact tht you do have a category of Those Things Of Which You Should Be Afraid. So it's a category, frightening things. And only things capable of abstraction can come up with something like the caregory of frightenting things. And so Kali is like an embodied representation of the category of frightening things. And then you might ask yourself, well once you come up with the concept of the category of frightening things, maybe you can come up with the concept of what to do in the face of frightening things. Which is not the same as "what do you do when you encounter a lion", or "what do you do when you encounter someone angry". It's a meta question, right? But then you could say, at a philosophical level: "You will encounter elements of the category of all those things which can frighten and undermine you during your life. Is there something that you can do *as a category* that would help you deal with that." And the answer is yeah, there is in fact. And that's what a lot of religious stories and symbolic stories are trying to propose to you, is the solution to that. One is, approach it voluntarily. Carefully, but voluntarily. Don't freeze and run away. Explore, instead. You expose yourself to risk but you gain knowledge. And you wouldn't have a cortex which, you know, is ridiculously disproportionate, if as a species we hadn't decided that exploration trumps escape or freezing. We explore. That can make you the master of a situation, so you can be the master of something like fire without being terrified of it. One of the things that the Hindus do in relationship to Kali, is offer sacrifices. So you can say, well why would you offer sacrifices to something you're afraid of. And it's because that is what you do, that's always what you do. You offer up sacrifices to the unknown in the hope that good things will happen to you. One example is that you're worried about your future. Maybe you're worried about your job, or who you're going to marry, or your family, there's a whole category of things to be worried about, so you're worried about your future. SO what're you doing in university? And the answer is you're sacrificing your free time in the present, to the cosmos so to speak, in the hope that if you offer up that sacrifice properly, the future will smile upon you. And that's one of the fundamental discoveries of the human race. And it's a big deal, that discovery: by changing what you cling to in the present, you can alter the future.
Jordan B. Peterson
The trap of reputation, for example. In this scenario, having garnered a considerable reputation or level of acclaim, one becomes paralyzed by the dreadful thought of losing it all by doing something... undignified. Uncool. This is a trap. Reputation is a trap that will turn you into a lifeless marble bust of yourself before you're even dead. And then of courses there is reputation's immortal big brother, Posterity, worrying about which has driven better women and men than you into the asylum. All these things... reputation, posterity, cool... should be tested to destruction by a course of deliberate sabotage. As the often-illuminating Escape and New Musical Express cartoonist Shaky Kane once remarked, "Don't be cool. Like everything." If you find yourself in danger of being taken seriously, then try to do something which undermines or sabotages that perception in some way. If your talent is of any genuine worth, it should be able to weather squalls of unpopularity and audience incomprehensio. The only thing that might seriously endanger either your talent or your relationship with your talent is if you suddenly found yourself fashionable.
Alan Moore
Never ever have any doubt on yourself. You are the priceless species in this world. Don't undermine yourself by comparing with others. You are a victor!!!
Santosh Adbhut Kumar
I hate to undermine the worth of talent. Unquestionably, talent exists. It’s no myth or hokum. Your talent tells you that you’re cut out for something. It points you towards what you can do effortlessly and what your potential career could be. However, talent isn’t everything. Knowledge and growth don’t come easily. You have to be willing to put in the hours and the effort, sometimes even without visible progress, because one day, unexpectedly, the results will flower. But without that work, it’s unlikely to happen. Eventually, hard work is not just about plugging away at something. It’s thinking intelligently about what you want to achieve, the goals you’re setting yourself, how you’re improving and how you can incorporate all of this into the list of things that will help you scale that peak.
Viswanathan Anand (Mind Master: Winning Lessons From A Champion's Life)
you haven’t experienced anything resembling empathy since the first few weeks of the relationship; you feel chronically undermined, dehumanized, and invalidated; you no longer trust your own decisions; you have withdrawn from other people who matter to you and do not really feel confident enough to push yourself; and you may even be depressed.
Ramani S. Durvasula ("Don't You Know Who I Am?": How to Stay Sane in an Era of Narcissism, Entitlement, and Incivility)
Fighting for something you believe in isn't easy. If you hit a sore spot, people are going to swipe at you, gripe at you, try to undermine you, infuriate you, try to shut you up and put you back in your box. I was starting to learn that was a sign you were asking the right questions, picking the right scabs. And though it's easy to lose yourself along the way, and start focusing on all the people who don't want things to change--for whatever broken, messed-up reasons of their own--you can easily find your way back. By listening to the people giving you a hand up. To the people who have your back. To the people who don't think you're a raving lunatic. Let them be your mirror--not the haters. Let them give you the strength to get the job done.
Holly Bourne (What's a Girl Gotta Do? (The Spinster Club, #3))
Have you lost your teeny tiny mind, you too-tall, too-skinny, too-crazy jerk?” “Oh, look who’s talking, Miss Let’s Blunder Around the Time Stream and Hang the Consequences! Thanks to you, we’ve got a dead Marc and a live Marc in the same timeline . . . in the same house! Thanks to you, I got chomped on by a dim, blonde, undead, selfish, whorish, blood-sucking leech when I was minding my own business in the past.” “Don’t you call me dim!” “Um. Everyone. Perhaps we should—” Tina began. “Wait, when did this happen?” Marc asked. He had the look of a man desperately trying to buy a vowel. “Past, an hour ago? Past, last year? Help me out.” “Oh, biiiiig surprise!” Laura threw her (perfectly manicured) hands in the air. “Let me guess, you were soooo busy banging your dead husband that you haven’t had time to tell anybody anything.” “I was getting to it,” I whined. “Then after not telling anyone anything and not being proactive—or even active!—you grow up to destroy the world and bring about eternal nuclear winter or whatever the heck that was and how do you deal with your foreknowledge of terrible events to come? Have sex!” “An affirmation of life?” Sinclair suggested. Never, I repeat, never had I loved him more. I was torn between slugging my sister and blowing my husband. Hmm. Laura might have a point about my priorities . . . but jeez. Look at him. Yum. “—even do it and what do you have to say for yourself? Huh?” “You’re just uptight, repressed, smug, antisex, and jealous, you Antichristing morally superior, fundamentally evil bitch.” Laura and Marc gasped. My husband groaned.
MaryJanice Davidson (Undead and Undermined (Undead, #10))
If any distractions come along during that period, don’t ignore them or focus on them. Don’t give them any energy at all. Let them pass, like clouds parting around a mountain. Regularly engaging in this practice builds the muscle of focused intention, which you can use in everything you do. Eventually, tuning out the undermining voices and losing yourself in the work will not be an effort of will, but an earned ability.
Rick Rubin (The Creative Act: A Way of Being)
No amount of black girl magic, no repeated proclamations of our worth can fully treat the wound – although acknowledging its persistence is a beginning. The ultimate remedy, as I see it is supernatural. I look daily toward heaven for restoration, for spiritual healing. My true identity isn’t rooted in our history, grievous and glorious as it is. It is grounded in my designation as a Child of God, the Daughter of the Great Physician. In His care I find my cure. My hope for you is the same one I carry for myself. I pray that amid the heartache of our ancestry you can grant yourself the grace so seldom extended to us. I pray that you can pass that compassion on to your children and to their children so that it slathers comfort on our sore spots. I pray that, as a people, we can give ourselves a soft place to land. I pray even as we rightly express our fury as being regarded as sub-human, that we don’t dwell in that space. That we don’t allow anger to poison our spirits. That we embrace love as our One True Antidote. I hope, too, that you recognize your specialness, the distinctiveness the Creator has imbued us with. I see you as clearly as history has, and in unison with it, I nod. I know that swivel in your hips, that fervor in your testimony, that ebullience in your stride, that flair in your song. The fact that others are constantly trying to diminish you, ever attempting to dismiss your talents even as they mimic you, is proof of your uniqueness! No one bothers to undermine you unless they recognize your brilliance. More than anything, I pray that you can carve out a purpose for yourself, a calling beyond your own survival, a sweet offering to the world. You gain a life by giving yours away. Not everyone is meant to raise a picket sign, and yet each of us can choose a path of impact. Rearing your children with affection and warmth is a form of activism. Honoring your word impeccably is a way to raise your voice. Performing your job with excellence, with your chin high and your standards higher is as powerful as any protest march. Sowing into the lives of young people is a worthy crusade. That is what it means to leave this world of ours more lit up than we found it. It’s also what it means to lead a magnificent life, even if an unlikely one.
Cicely Tyson (Just as I Am)
Women often make communication mistakes that undermine their irresistibility and send men running faster than you can say, “Marriage and kids!” First of all, most of us don’t really listen. What we do is judge whether we like or dislike what a man is saying to us, decide whether we agree or disagree with what he’s saying, or determine whether we know it already. We also listen to see if what he is saying fits our agenda (like our agenda to have a boyfriend, get married, or have kids). This is not true listening. True listening happens when you drop those internal conversations in your mind and simply hear what a man is saying to you from his perspective, as though what he is saying is the most important thing on earth and you need to hear every single word. You don’t interpret, analyze, or read into it. You don’t say, “In other words . . .,” and go on to put into words what you think he means. You just take it in. When you truly listen, you become instantly attractive. By really hearing a man, you make him feel special and cared for in a very powerful way. If there’s genuine chemistry between you, he’ll continue to share more and more of himself because of how open and receptive you are to who he actually is (not who you are trying to get him to be). I cannot emphasize this point enough. If you really want to make every man want you, become a masterful listener.

Beside him Mr. Harris folded his morning newspaper and held it out to Claude. "Seen this yet?" "No." "Don't read it," Mr. Harris said, folding the paper once more and sliding it under his rear. "It will only upset you, son." "It's a wicked paper... " Claude agreed, but Mr. Harris was overspeaking him. "It's the big black words that do it. The little grey ones don't matter very much, they're just fill-ins they take everyday from the wires. They concentrate their poison in the big black words, where it will radiate. Of course if you read the little stories too you've got sure proof that every word they wrote above, themselves, was a fat black lie, but by then you've absorbed a thousand greyer ones, and where and how to check on those? This way the mind deteriorates. The best way you can save yourself is not to read it, son." "No, I... " "That's right, if you're not careful," Mr. Harris went on, blue-eyed, red-faced, "you find yourself pretty soon hating everyone but God, the Babe, and a few dead senators. That's no fun. Men aren't so bad as that." "No." "That's right, you begin to worry about anyone who opens his mouth except to say ho it looks like rain, let's bowl. Otherwise you wonder what the hell he's trying to prove, or undermine. If he asks what time it is, you wonder what terrible thing is scheduled to happen, where it will happen, when. You can't even stand to be asked how you feel today - he's probably looking at the bumps on you, they may have grown more noticeable overnight. Soon you feel you should apologize for standing there where he can watch you dying in front of him, he'd rather for you to carry your head around in a little plaid bag, like your bowling ball. There's no joy in that. Men aren't so very bad." Mr. Harris paused to remove his Panama hat. Water seeped from his knobby forehead, which he mopped with a damp handkerchief. "I've offended you, son," he said. "Not at all, I entirely agree with you." Mr. Harris replaced his hat, folded his handkerchief. "I shouldn't shoot off this way," he said. "I read too much." "No, no. You're right...
Douglas Woolf (Wall to Wall (American Literature))
Wil shook his head. “He really had you hooked.” “What do you mean?” “You should have seen your energy field. It was flowing almost totally into his.” “I don’t understand.” “Think back to Sarah’s argument with the scientist at Viciente.… If you had witnessed one of them winning, convincing the other that he was correct, then you would have seen the loser’s energy flowing into the winner’s, leaving the loser feeling drained and weak and somewhat confused—the way the girl in the Peruvian family appeared and the way,” he smiled, “that you look now.” “You saw that happening to me?” I asked. “Yes,” he replied. “And it was extremely difficult for you to stop his control of you and to pull yourself away. I thought for a minute you weren’t going to do it.” “Jesus,” I said. “That guy must really be evil.” “Not really,” he said. “He’s probably only half aware of what he’s doing. He thinks he’s right to control the situation, and no doubt he learned a long time ago that he could control successfully by following a certain strategy. He first pretends to be your friend, then he finds something wrong with what you’re doing, in your case that you were in danger. In effect, he subtly undermines your confidence in your own path until you begin to identify with him. As soon as that happens, he has you.” Wil looked directly at me. “This is only one of many strategies people use to con others out of their energy.
James Redfield (The Celestine Prophecy (Celestine Prophecy, #1))
I believe that if, like me, you have privilege and are equipped with the resources and knowledge to have these conversations, it is your job to educate those who have no idea how to navigate this information, define these resources, and to challenge their own preconceived ideas. It is not solely the responsibility of marginalised people to advocate for their own rights, to explain their own oppression, or to hold hands with the very people undermining them. This is a reminder that each and every one of us has arrived at our current worldview because of people who took the time to explain things, who performed labour to educate us. We need to pay that forward, not sit on high horses. I know I am the product of the people closest to me, and that our debates and occasional conflicts are at the crux of my self-development, reflection, and empowerment. It isn’t your job to engage in harmful conversations with those committed to misunderstanding you but it isn’t helpful to demonise people whose views do not mirror your own or whose progress is slower. It isn’t effective to shut down and to turn your back on those with other worldviews once you believe you know better. We shouldn’t pull the ladder up behind us when we decided we’re in the right place. We shouldn’t be shutting up shop. This is the ultimate opportunity to use what we have learned to ensure marginalised people do not have to have these conversations. We don’t need to speak on behalf of anyone but we can direct people to resources, we can push back on problematic language and views, and we can use our knowledge and privilege for change-making. If you hold the privileges that I do, a White woman claiming to be a feminist, your fear is not enough of a barrier. I know that is a confronting statement but it is something we must interrogate. It is vital to note that there are many circumstances where breaking your silence, challenging the status quo, and speaking out pose a threat. I want to be clear that this is not a call to subject yourself to devastating outcomes, or dangerous conversations, or situations that pose a threat to your safety or security. But if the only thing standing between you and change is fear of causing your friends discomfort, or lowering the mood by calling out something that may be considered taboo, you must walk through that fear. History depends on it. Change is contingent on your voice. If you want to identify as a feminist. If you want to claim this space and that you are #doingthework, this is exactly what that work looks like. Having difficult conversations, being brave, and challenging widely held assumptions. Turning up to the protest. Putting your money toward causes you claim to stand for. Buying the book and using what you’ve learned to ensure this work does not remain the sole responsibility of the impacted, marginalised communities, but becomes something that those without lied experiences understand and advocate for. Doing all this, is more than half the battle. The next time you bookend a conversation with “it is not my job to educate you”, I think it is really important to remember that, actually, it kind of is. Your privilege means you have access to people and influence over them. You are considered by society to be more palatable in your anger, and your advocacy, and people are more willing to hear you speak to difficult topics. It is your job to educate yourself, and to use that inherent privilege to educate others, or to at least have a go. It is your job, as the feminist you claim to be, to act as a barricade for people experiencing compounding marginalisations. It is your job to educate yourself and others. It is as simple as that.
Hannah Ferguson (Bite Back: Feminism, Media, Politics, and Our Power to Change It All)
Be yourself. You shouldn’t be afraid of who you are. When you know your Identity and know who you are. When you know your religion, culture and heritage. You are strong and nothing or no one can take that power away from you. That is why when they colonies you. They shame your culture and undermine it, so that you might think it is not important. They want you to forget your culture and heritage of which it is your power. Losing your identity is losing your power. It will make you vulnerable. Leaving you learning other cultures and you will never stop learning. They will be leading by living their culture and you will be doing catchup. To them you will never be perfect, because that Is not who you are. They will always be superior, because It is them who are giving teachings. They will be like gods to you ,because you are learning their ways, culture and heritage and on how to be like them. When you forsake your own culture and heritage and follows someone. They become your master, you are bound to worship them and everything they do. But , when you don’t follow them. You become your own master. Your own culture , heritage and identity is your power, Don’t be fooled.

Dear Writer, Sometimes we treat the negative voices in your head - the ones who say we can’t do this writing thing, we’re not as good as so-and-so, nobody will read what we write - as if they are voices that deserve respect. As if they speak from some great authority & know what is true. As if they don’t take our silence as tacit acceptance of their whispers to hammer away at our deepest insecurities. To hell with that. You tell that voice that she’s had her turn, it’s no longer her time. It’s time to shut the hell up & be quiet for once. Life is too short - & your art too precious - to waste it on bullies. Make no mistake, she IS a bully. Ignoring bullies makes them louder, more insistent on getting in your face & shutting you down. No more. Fact. Bullies don’t speak truth from a place of power, but they are really good at convincing us that they do. They actually just hone in on our weaknesses with extraordinary precision and speak lies from a place of false bravado. They expect us not to talk back, gain their power by our acceptance of their words. When we don’t speak they take that as permission to get louder. Not this time. This time you stop & write down what the voice is saying. Then you cross that shit out with the biggest, blackest marker you can find and tell her she needs to listen. This time, you talk back, draw yourself up to the fullness of your power. Root down into the depth of your truth. Coax that flame in your belly until you feel it fire up your whole being. Then you tell her YOUR truth. In writing, so it won’t be forgotten. Tell her she’s wasting time. That you’ve got art to make. That you’re done with her lies & attempts to undermine your power & silence the stories that live inside you. Tell her whatever the hell you want, but do it with all of you. Be willing to go past what you even believe and have your own back this time. Write exactly the words you need to say, which also happen to be exactly the words that you need to hear. And then be done with it. And write. After all, that voice wouldn’t ever be this loud if she didn’t know you had something important to say. So say it, writer. The world is waiting for you.

You’ll learn about the remaining ways later, in the Sixth Insight.” I wasn’t listening; my thoughts were on Marjorie. I didn’t like leaving her there. “Do you think we should try to get Marjorie?” I asked. “Not now,” he said. “I don’t think she’s in any danger. We can drive out tomorrow, as we leave, and try to talk to her.” We were silent for a few minutes, then Wil asked: “Do you understand what I said about Jensen not realizing what he was doing? He’s no different from most people. He just does what makes him feel the strongest.” “No, I don’t think I understand.” Wil looked thoughtful. “All this is still unconscious in most people. All we know is that we feel weak and when we control others we feel better. What we don’t realize is that this sense of feeling better costs the other person. It is their energy that we have stolen. Most people go through their lives in a constant hunt for someone else’s energy.” He looked at me with a twinkle in his eye. “Although occasionally it works differently. We meet someone who at least for a little while will voluntarily send us their energy.
James Redfield (The Celestine Prophecy (Celestine Prophecy, #1))
PRINCIPLE: LEADING UP THE CHAIN If your boss isn’t making a decision in a timely manner or providing necessary support for you and your team, don’t blame the boss. First, blame yourself. Examine what you can do to better convey the critical information for decisions to be made and support allocated. Leading up the chain of command requires tactful engagement with the immediate boss (or in military terms, higher headquarters) to obtain the decisions and support necessary to enable your team to accomplish its mission and ultimately win. To do this, a leader must push situational awareness up the chain of command. Leading up the chain takes much more savvy and skill than leading down the chain. Leading up, the leader cannot fall back on his or her positional authority. Instead, the subordinate leader must use influence, experience, knowledge, communication, and maintain the highest professionalism. While pushing to make your superior understand what you need, you must also realize that your boss must allocate limited assets and make decisions with the bigger picture in mind. You and your team may not represent the priority effort at that particular time. Or perhaps the senior leadership has chosen a different direction. Have the humility to understand and accept this. One of the most important jobs of any leader is to support your own boss—your immediate leadership. In any chain of command, the leadership must always present a united front to the troops. A public display of discontent or disagreement with the chain of command undermines the authority of leaders at all levels. This is catastrophic to the performance of any organization. As a leader, if you don’t understand why decisions are being made, requests denied, or support allocated elsewhere, you must ask those questions up the chain. Then, once understood, you can pass that understanding down to your team. Leaders in any chain of command will not always agree. But at the end of the day, once the debate on a particular course of action is over and the boss has made a decision—even if that decision is one you argued against—you must execute the plan as if it were your own. When leading up the chain of command, use caution and respect. But remember, if your leader is not giving the support you need, don’t blame him or her. Instead, reexamine what you can do to better clarify, educate, influence, or convince that person to give you what you need in order to win. The major factors to be aware of when leading up and down the chain of command are these:

A friend is not an asset you own; it’s a shared relationship. A friend is an ally, a collaborator. Think of it like ballroom dancing. You don’t control the other person’s feet. Your task is to move in unison, perhaps gently guiding or following. There’s a deep sense of mutuality. Trying to win/acquire friends as if they were objects undermines the endeavor altogether.
Reid Hoffman (The Startup of You: Adapt to the Future, Invest in Yourself, and Transform Your Career)
You might also expect resistance from friends and family and co-workers. (Homeostasis, as we’ve seen, applies to social systems as well as individuals.) Say you used to struggle out of bed at 7:30 and barely drag yourself to work at 9:00. Now that you’re on a path of mastery, you’re up at 6:00 for a three-mile run, and in the office, charged with energy, at 8:30. You might figure that your co-workers would be overjoyed, but don’t be too sure. And when you get home, still raring to go, do you think that your family will welcome the change? Maybe. Bear in mind that an entire system has to change when any part of it changes. So don’t be surprised if some of the people you love start covertly or overtly undermining your self-improvement. It’s not that they wish you harm, it’s just homeostasis at work.

LOW IDENTIFICATION WITH MALE IMAGE Are you usually more concerned about another’s feelings than your own? Do you find yourself always going out of your way to help other people, even if you don’t want to? Do you wish that you could say no to people? Are you overly concerned with what people will think about you? If so, you may be have a low degree of identification with the male image. As a result of your past experiences, you may be more likely than other men to fear rejection and thus are more willing to take on the problems and concerns of others as a way of feeling needed. You may also be concerned about whether you are masculine enough. You don’t jump right into many of the things that other men do or take for granted. Your concerns are usually a combination of masculinity and your dysfunctional background. There are three types of silent sons having low identification with male image. THE PASSIVE SON I had many conflicts, particularly in adolescence, with my father, always verbal. I always lost or was put down. This undermined my self confidence in my mental abilities. Although I have above-average intelligence and a master’s degree, I am extremely cautious about expressing my own opinions even when I have strong ones. Also, I have a lot of trouble being creative.

we are online 24/7 hours WhatsApp: +1 (810) 267-0765 Telegram: @doctortransport Email: doctortransport39@gmail.com The Legality of Buying Chime Accounts Here’s where things get tricky. Buying or selling bank accounts—including Chime accounts—is typically against the terms of service of the bank. More importantly, it can have legal consequences: Violation of Terms: Chime may freeze or close accounts found to be sold or transferred. Identity Fraud: If the account contains someone else’s verified identity, you may be committing identity theft. Money Laundering Risks: Buying or using accounts for financial movement without transparency can violate anti-money laundering (AML) laws. In the U.S., Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering laws are taken very seriously. Engaging in account trade can lead to federal charges, fines, and even imprisonment in severe cases. 5. Risks Associated with Buying Verified Chime Accounts Even if you are not breaking laws knowingly, buying verified Chime accounts exposes you to a host of risks: A. Account Freezing Chime’s systems are designed to detect unusual behavior. If they suspect account selling, the account could be immediately frozen or terminated. B. Scams The market is riddled with scammers selling fake or already-banned accounts. Once you send the payment (often via untraceable means like Bitcoin), the seller disappears. C. Data Leaks Using someone else’s verified information opens the door to data misuse or personal liability. You could also be blamed for any fraudulent activity associated with that identity. D. No Customer Support If you encounter issues with the account, Chime’s support team won’t help you unless you're the original verified user. 6. How the Market Works Despite the risks, there is a thriving underground market for verified Chime accounts, typically operating through: Dark web marketplaces Encrypted messaging platforms (Telegram, WhatsApp) Forums like Reddit or Discord Shady "blackhat" marketing websites These sellers often package accounts with extras like: Debit card PINs Linked email and phone number access Clean transaction histories Step-by-step usage guides The price for a verified Chime account ranges from $100 to $500 or more, depending on the features included and the seller’s reputation. 7. Red Flags and Scams Here are some signs that you may be dealing with a scam: Push for crypto-only payment: Reputable sellers (if any) usually offer escrow services. No verification screenshots or account credentials: If you can’t see proof, don’t pay. Too-good-to-be-true pricing: Extremely cheap accounts are often either fake or recycled. Rush tactics or "limited-time" pressure: Common scam techniques. Always remember: if something feels suspicious, it probably is. 8. Ethical Considerations Even if you’re not breaking the law, buying a verified Chime bank account raises serious ethical questions: You're likely using someone else’s identity and credentials, which could cause harm to them if the account is misused. It undermines the financial system’s trust and stability. It creates a risk for legitimate users whose accounts are being resold. These behaviors contribute to the same kinds of cybercrime and fraud that lead to increased security measures, restricted access, and higher fees for everyone else. 9. Alternatives to Buying Verified Accounts Instead of buying an account, consider these safer alternatives: A. Apply for a Chime Account Yourself Chime’s KYC process is relatively simple. If you have valid U.S. ID and SSN, getting verified is straightforward and free.

You shrug. “I told you, I don’t bother with politics.” “A luxury members of your class can afford, since their interests will always be protected. Meanwhile, there’s a certain faction in this country—men who call themselves patriots—who are quietly working to undermine the very values they claim to stand for. And they’re counting on people like you not bothering. They claim to be patriots, ginning up the public with talk about purity and real Americans, but what they really want is to marginalize Jews, remove them from powerful places, deny them a place in society entirely if they have their way. That’s how it started in Europe, Belle, with a bunch of patriotic Germans spouting nonsense about purity, and they want to do the same thing here. They’re organizing right now, right under your noses. The Bund. Lindbergh and his crowd. Charles Coughlin, a priest with an anti-Semitic radio show. And they’re gaining traction. The Bund held a rally in Madison Square Garden. Twenty thousand people doing the Nazi salute on American soil, and no one’s paying attention. Some are even cheering them on. The only way to keep those so-called patriots out of power is to pay attention, Belle, to decide where you stand on the issues before you accidentally find yourself on the wrong side.” You wait until I finish, then give me one of your cool looks. “And is there always a wrong side?” “Maybe not always, but just now—yes, there’s a wrong side. Not all the bad guys are in Germany, Belle. People need to realize that. They need to pay attention.

Buy Google Voice Accounts: Risks, Realities, and Smarter Alternatives Why People Search for Google Voice Accounts The phrase “buy Google Voice accounts” shows up often in search trends among marketers, entrepreneurs, and digital businesses. The interest comes from the idea that Google Voice numbers provide flexibility, anonymity, and functionality that traditional phone systems don’t always offer. With features like call forwarding, voicemail transcription, and integration with Gmail and Google Workspace, Google Voice has become a popular tool for managing communication. For some, the thought of buying pre-made Google Voice accounts comes from a desire to save time, scale quickly, or gain access to aged accounts that appear more trustworthy. But while the demand is real, buying accounts isn’t the smartest—or safest—strategy. Understanding the risks is essential before pursuing this route, and exploring legitimate alternatives can help businesses achieve their goals without jeopardizing security or compliance. The Risks of Buying Google Voice Accounts On the surface, buying old or bulk Google Voice accounts may seem like a shortcut to scalability. But in reality, it exposes you to risks that can undermine your credibility and waste your investment. The first major risk is security. When you buy a Google Voice account from a third-party seller, you can never be certain how it was created, who has access to it, or whether the seller still retains recovery information. This leaves you vulnerable to account hijacking, data theft, or unexpected lockouts. Another risk is policy violation. Google strictly prohibits the sale and transfer of its accounts. Engaging in this practice violates terms of service and can result in immediate suspension. Even if you manage to use the account temporarily, there is no guarantee it will last—leaving your business exposed to sudden disruptions. A third concern is reliability. Many sellers advertise “aged” or “verified” Google Voice accounts, but these labels don’t guarantee quality. Accounts might be mass-produced with temporary information or weak verification methods. As a result, they are easily flagged by Google’s systems, and once suspended, they cannot be recovered. Ultimately, buying accounts is a gamble. It may seem like a quick fix, but it often leads to wasted money, damaged reputation, and lost opportunities. Legitimate Alternatives to Buying Google Voice Accounts The good news is that there are smarter, safer, and more sustainable ways to achieve the same goals that drive people to look for purchased accounts. By leveraging official tools and ethical strategies, businesses can enjoy the benefits of Google Voice without the risks. Create and Verify Your Own Google Voice Account The simplest solution is to create a Google Voice account directly through Google. The setup process is straightforward, requiring only a Gmail account and a U.S. phone number for verification. By owning and verifying the account yourself, you ensure that it is secure, compliant, and fully under your control. Use Google Workspace with Google Voice for Business For teams and organizations, Google Workspace offers professional-grade Google Voice integrations. With this option, businesses can assign phone numbers to employees, manage call routing, and integrate with other Google services like Meet and Calendar. Unlike purchased accounts, Workspace Voice accounts are officially supported, scalable, and customizable to fit business needs. Explore Other VoIP and Virtual Number Solutions If your main goal is to scale communication or manage multiple numbers, there are alternatives to Google Voice that may suit your needs. VoIP services such as RingCentral, Grasshopper,

**A Declaration of Inner Strength and Resilience** Even though there are racist and malevolent individuals who may create various plans and schemes aimed at harming you, they have no control over your well-being, without exception. These individuals, fueled by hate and insecurity, might attempt to undermine your confidence, manipulate your actions, and ultimately, diminish your spirit. They may use subtle tactics, like spreading misinformation or fostering division, or resort to overt aggression, such as threats and intimidation. Their aim is to break you, to exploit your vulnerabilities, and to extinguish the light within. However, it is crucial to remember that their power is limited. Their negativity cannot penetrate the core of your being. You possess an inner strength, a resilience forged through experience and a deep-seated understanding of your own value. It is important to remember that there is something exceptional and unique within you, and these harmful people are trying to exploit it. This unique essence might be your empathy, your creativity, your intelligence, or your unwavering commitment to justice. They recognize this power, and that is why they target you. They are afraid of what you represent: a challenge to their hateful ideologies and a beacon of hope for a better world. You don’t owe anything to them! Do not allow yourself to be burdened by their expectations or controlled by their hatred. Do not waste your energy on their negativity. Instead, focus on nurturing your inner strength and celebrating your unique qualities. So why worry so much? The anxieties that plague you, fueled by the actions of these individuals, are ultimately futile. They have no dominion over your peace of mind. Have faith, dear one, and always stand strong in your pursuit of justice! Believe in your ability to overcome adversity. Trust in the inherent goodness of humanity and the power of love and compassion. Let your unique qualities shine brightly. Pursue your dreams with unwavering determination. Remember that you are stronger than you think, and you are not alone. Continue to fight for what is right, and never let the darkness dim your light.

In today’s global economy, PayPal has become one of the most popular and trusted platforms for online transactions. Whether you're running an e-commerce business, freelancing, or simply sending and receiving money across borders, having a PayPal account is often essential. However, some individuals and businesses look to buy verified PayPal accounts to speed up the process of transacting internationally or to bypass certain limitations. This article explores what verified PayPal accounts are, why people buy them, the risks involved, and legal and ethical considerations. What Is a Verified PayPal Account? A verified PayPal account is an account that has completed additional steps of verification, such as linking and confirming a bank account or credit card. This verification process gives PayPal more confidence that the user is legitimate and not involved in fraudulent activities. Verified accounts often enjoy: Higher sending and withdrawal limits Increased account security Greater trust from buyers and sellers Access to more features (like merchant services) For many businesses and freelancers, having a verified account is not just beneficial—it’s necessary. Why Do People Buy Verified PayPal Accounts? There are several reasons why someone might consider buying a verified PayPal account instead of creating one from scratch: 1. Time-Saving Creating and verifying a PayPal account can take time, especially if you need to wait for bank confirmation or deal with geographical restrictions. Buying a pre-verified account can help skip these steps. 2. Bypassing Restrictions Some users are from countries where PayPal services are limited or unavailable. Others may face restrictions due to previous account issues or bans. Purchasing a verified account allows them to regain access. 3. Business Expansion Businesses operating in multiple countries sometimes buy verified PayPal accounts registered in different regions to serve local markets more efficiently. Risks of Buying Verified PayPal Accounts While buying a verified PayPal account may seem convenient, it comes with significant risks: 1. Violation of PayPal’s Terms of Service Buying or selling PayPal accounts is a direct violation of PayPal's user agreement. If detected, the account may be limited, frozen, or permanently banned. 2. Fraud and Scams Many sellers of verified accounts are not legitimate. Users may pay for an account only to find the credentials don’t work, or worse, that the account gets locked after a few days. 3. Identity Theft Purchasing a pre-verified account may involve using someone else's personal information, which can expose you to legal issues related to identity theft and fraud. 4. Limited Control You may not have full control over the account’s recovery options, such as email, phone number, or linked financial instruments. This makes it easy for the original owner to take back the account. Legal and Ethical Concerns Using or buying a PayPal account that is not registered in your name may violate not only PayPal’s terms but also local financial laws. You could be unknowingly involved in money laundering or other illegal activities, especially if the account was previously used for suspicious transactions. From an ethical perspective, impersonating another user or misrepresenting your identity undermines the trust that platforms like PayPal rely on to provide safe financial services. Alternatives to Buying Verified Accounts If you’re looking for access to a verified PayPal account, consider safer alternatives: Complete Verification Yourself: Link your own bank account or credit card to verify your account. Use Business Services: Set up a business PayPal account with proper documentation. Explore Other Payment Platforms: Stripe, Wise, Skrill, and Payoneer offer global payment solutions and may suit your needs.

Why You Shouldn’t “Buy Verified Neteller Accounts” — Risks, Consequences, and Safer Alternatives The search phrase Buy Verified Neteller Accounts shows up now and then in online marketplaces and forum threads as a supposed shortcut to instant, “trusted” payment accounts. At first glance it may look like a time-saving hack: skip identity checks, accept payments immediately, or operate across regions without paperwork. But purchasing someone else’s verified Neteller account is a high-risk move that usually breaks Neteller’s terms of service, undermines security, and can have serious legal and operational consequences. This article explains the main dangers, why people are tempted, and practical, legitimate ways to get the same business benefits without exposing yourself to liability.

Freelancers, small merchants, or operators expanding into new markets sometimes believe buying an “aged” or already-verified account will speed up onboarding. While those goals are legitimate, the correct path is proper verification, business registration, or working with a trusted payments partner — not buying an account. The major risks of buying accounts 1. Breach of terms and immediate account closure Neteller’s user agreement ties accounts to authentic identity and lawful use. Buying or transferring accounts typically violates these terms. If Neteller detects a change of ownership, suspicious activity, or signs of fraud, it can freeze, close or seize the account and any funds in it. Buyers routinely lose access and balances. 2. Legal and regulatory exposure Payment systems are tightly regulated to prevent money laundering and fraud. Using an account created with false or stolen identity information may expose you to criminal investigation. Even if you did not create the account, knowingly using a purchased account can implicate you in illegal activity. 3.

Sellers may reclaim access or exploit recovery mechanisms later. You inherit unknown security compromises and backdoors. 4. Reputational and operational harm Accounts with a questionable history (chargebacks, disputes, fraud flags) can be limited by Neteller or distrusted by partners. If disputes or complaints are tied to the account, Neteller may apply holds, withhold funds, or terminate service—damaging your business and customer relationships. 5. Financial instability Relying on accounts you don’t legitimately own is fragile. If an account is suspended, reclaimed, or subject to investigation, you can lose revenue and face downtime. For merchants, that unpredictability threatens cash flow and credibility.
