    Yeah, on this topic I feel like she’s in the ballpark. My girlfriend and I game in the same spaces but we don’t always announce that we are together IRL for privacy sake. And we are both very independent people.

    The amount of weird dudes she’s ran into that have used “high value man” or “high value woman” is absolutely more than one. They’re pretty common to bump into in online spaces.

    The last time she ran into a problem with a dude like this—she read me the chat as it was going down. The guy was clearly into her but couldn’t handle that she was taken and had no interest. So, this random dude proceeded to call me a cuck (hahaha), asked if I “knew what she was up to” (gaming? lol), and that no high value man would want her! He did this in a public gaming space too and about 50 people thankfully dog piled and ratioed him into oblivion.

    Oh well! I guess she’s stuck with “her low value cuck man” who makes her coffee in bed every morning and with whom she raised a cute and healthy family with. She’s allowed to do whatever she wants and her male doesn’t even try to control her. How horrible! She’ll never recover!

    These dudes are dangerous in numbers. Which is why they deserve and need to be mocked mercilessly until they fuck off or get therapy.



  • I believe it. They disavow that they take any recordings of us before we approach but, while I’m not a suspicious person, I am suspicious of TSA and HLS. Heads up they’re going to start scanning our faces at physical border crossings in cars now too. We have the same right to refuse as citizens but you know how good that is if you’re dealing with a crooked agent.

    Masks help when approaching but obviously not a cure all when you have to move it to be identified by card

    I hate that this is a conversation we are having.





  • It got super creepy when more shots of this women were released of her doing activities that no one would ever take a photo of themselves doing. Then the last photo was released separately of a NSFW don’t read if you are not in a place to read gore/graphic/assault

    Tap for spoiler

    Real photo of a dead woman who looks like Nicole in a morgue body bag with her flesh peeled off and her face beaten. It’s unlikely that this disturbing turn is real but it was horrific for people who received this last spam. That is what triggered the ultimate ban on all images (since this is most likely a psychopathic copycat). :(







  • I thought we already proved multiple times that work from home clearly increased productivity across the board and reduced costs for the employ and employer.

    The push to go back to an office is more about control. Not in a “I need to get my money out of you and make sure you’re ‘working’” but in a “I would rather spend more money to remind my workers that if they work for me—they are owned.”

    It feels more like an issue with worker flexibility than worker productivity. Workers having a life and workers being happy means that they will eventually want other things. And usually those “other things” eventually lead to the owners losing a grip on societal and economic power.

    Better to have workers not be people. People are unpredictable and profits need to predictably rise forever.





  • Hmmm then we are deeper into this than the world has realized. I think the gilded sheen is still there—but the rot underneath is deeper than the outside thinks.

    Meaning, the mass protests that broke out in the millions across the country from 2017 to 2020–that era was the “protest era.”

    What are we in now? Sure as hell not a protest era. We are way beyond.

    As someone who has closely studied the evolution of spycraft from Ancient Intelligence to the development of the modern Intelligence Community—I know that because of my knowledge—I feel exactly as you say here. If I am taken out now for being too open or too loud, the side of humanity loses me in the fight. And it is so god damn easy to misstep.

    We are and have been under massive constant surveillance. The facial scanning at airports has expanded to the physical border if you’re crossing by land. They say they delete your photo—but I assume they’re instead storing the biometrics. This is and will be used against us.

    The tech companies in control know most of us better than we know ourselves. We are tracked every second of every day. They don’t need warrants when they already have access to profiles of data on almost every human in America. Even if we were in a normal world—the constitution generally doesn’t apply to private corporations. This is and will be used against us.

    There is no safety “protesting” or organizing unless it’s done in a tight, cell operations that have some communication in between but function so that if one goes down the network stays intact. Intelligence and resistance groups survive when they’re federated.

    Master’s tools cannot dismantle the master’s house. Organizing on a mass scale across the country without using any tech that touches our adversaries right now is not possible. So, first we must figure out how to share information quickly and easily in a way that excludes big tech capture and government capture.

    Figuring this independent communication hurdle out is more important right now than getting out on the street with a geotagged phone and smiling for a drone who is sure to snag your biometric data. And I’m saying this as someone who believes in the people protesting (and who has been in full scale car tipping rubber bullets everything on fire riots).


  • Oh that’s interesting. Thank you it’s great to know. I was just quoting Meloni directly—she’s stated verbatim in speeches last September (if my memory is correct) that she sees Russia as a threat. Now, do we take her word for it? Probably not. Probably not. It was a my a talk about EU/Nato defense spending.

    I agree with you here-she’s absolutely saying one thing to the EU and keeping a backup plan with Putin. That’s what I really think too.

    It’s funny you mention Locusts. I mentioned this analogy to someone recently. I see it exactly the same. Locusts triggering serotonin spikes in otherwise normal grasshoppers to join their locust swarm. And the swarm consumes and eats everything. And then when there’s nothing left to eat they eat each other and die.

    Lack of territory, lack of resource, and high population density make locusts. I don’t think we are that much different .
