OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 2181th compilation post of OCD's latest curation efforts. It has been known that OCD has been supporting leading niche communities under its Community Incubation Program. However, there are still a lot of other niche communities not supported by OCD. This curation initiative will help in supporting those communities.

This newest curation effort aims to encourage authors to post in appropriate communities even if those communities are not under the incubation program. This will also encourage users to explore more into the different communities in Hive.

OCD curators and community leaders will find posts from other niche communities and recommend them for an upvote. Unlike those communities in the incubation program where curation is focused, this curation initiative is spread out. This will help find undervalued posts from smaller communities that deserve support.

This will highlight both the author and the community where the post is located. This way, smaller niche communities can focus on growing their subscribers and increasing the engagements within their respective communities. A small boost goes a long way.

Speaking of boost, here are the curated posts for this batch:

Now, this has been a much-discussed topic in that part of Asia for years, and that's precisely why I'm mentioning it. In that part of the world, we've been seeing how, little by little, many people have become accustomed to relying so heavily on technology, especially AI, and adapting it as a means of replacing companionship and socializing.

There are even commercials promoting this through virtual assistants tailored to what people want to hear or receive in terms of attention. In the case of Japan, this is partly one of the measures, from my point of view, aimed at counteracting the growing loneliness stemming in part from the high rates of depression and isolation.

I often browse social media for ideas to help me prepare my recipes. Some turn out to be a fiasco, others not so much. The last few weeks have been flooded with a new viral recipe, a kind of cheesecake made with only two ingredients. Since I had these ingredients at home, I decided to give it a try. After all, there wasn't much room for failure. But there was something that didn't quite convince me, so I decided to add my own personal touch. The idea is to make Greek yogurt with cookies taste and feel like cheesecake.

Hello, dear Wednesday walkers at Hive, it's a pleasure to share with you once again. A few days ago, we visited the Barinitas station of the Mukumbarí cable car in Mérida, Venezuela. I still haven't fulfilled my dream of visiting all five stations of the cable car and immersing myself in a wonderful adventure into the heights, but I hope to do so at any moment. However, I really enjoy every visit to the first station.

The Barinitas station is located in the Las Heroínas sector of the city of Mérida, one of our favorite places. On this occasion, we were walking through the streets of the city and decided to go to the viewpoint located at the station.

Today I write inspired by a reunion that took place a few days ago when I stumbled upon a manuscript I wrote on March 13, 2018; a few lines that fit me like a glove and plunged me into deep reflection. I feel that the synopsis of my own life sets the pace for my journey, and for that reason, I have felt the need to redesign that text to adapt it to my current reality.

At first, I did not understand where those names and concepts had come from, which today resonate within me like an alchemical fusion or a revelation of my past self to my future self. I confess that I usually write down what inspires me immediately, linking it to my writings to sing verses in a rhythmic way. But today I pause before the depth of those fragments by Seneca, Epicurus, Thoreau, La Mettrie, and Juan de Mena, where I forged my foundations.

Hello Hive Family! I’m writing this blog on the spot before going to bed, letting my thoughts flow freely as I reflect on a small but meaningful discovery tonight.

As I was checking my old bag recently, I stumbled upon two pieces of VIP shopping cards: Just Gift and Get Laud. To my surprise, they’re already a decade old! Holding them brought back a rush of memories, those days when payday meant treating myself, even with simple purchases.

Today I have the regular model to share with all of you. This jumping spider is quite easy to find, and usually this exact species from the cosmophasis family.

But nevertheless, this is such a nice spider, with its colorful body, and love markings.

Returning to my season in Guns Up, this week's alliance battles are called Crystal Cannon. These are focused on modifying all characters, none are left out. This week's modifications are that each character has increased damage but reduced health, so they can cause more damage to enemies, but enemies can easily take them out.

The movie listings in Chile are updated every Thursday. For that reason, almost without exception, there's a new national or international film every Thursday, and it's become my favorite day to go to the movies. The first week—the first day of the year, in fact—The Housemaid premiered, and I went to see it. That same day, I found out that the following Thursday, another film I'd heard very little about would be released, and I added it to my calendar to see it on opening day.

After the final applause and the Risignstar stage was empty, singer Wez returned to the stage as usual to check that everything was in order. The silence was very different without an audience, deeper, as if the place had been holding back all night. However, as he was putting away his equipment, he noticed something that caught his attention: the red light on the console was on and the microphone was still recording, which he found very strange, since he was the only one there.

About three months ago, Alyson arrived at my building. She didn't show up just anywhere, she came right to my door, as if she knew exactly where she needed to go. From that moment on, something started to happen.

This concludes this batch's curation report. We would like to congratulate those who are featured and supported. Keep up the good work and continue to explore Hive Communities.
