This type of internal security capability should be standard practice within all key tech companies.
"counter-intelligence as a service" 🤔
We have 18 months max (less imo) before something insane happens to the economy and then it’s a 3-6 year period of opportunity for generational wealth.
Be prepared
If you had a penny double twenty times you’d be a millionaire.
If you had a penny double twenty times but took off 30% for taxation each time you’d have less than 30k
Taxation is theft
Mike is right; It’s going to get worse.
The logic of violence will rear its head, as will the fact we are no longer in a high trust society.
We’re going to make the 70’s/80’s crime wave look like a cakewalk.
Be smart.
We entering a new epoch. Earlier today Republicans in the Senate joined Democrats to loot the country and forever leave the border open to drugs and human trafficking. Last night our Capitol was occupied by a foreign flag.
No it isn’t. Fast food is 30-50 dollars for a haul now.
I’d say 20% of less of my friend group is alright. Everyone else is paycheque to paycheque.
And they’re the stable job and 6 figure types.
There’s a depression coming and people don’t want to admit it.
This is a crazy take. People today say they feel much worse about the economy than they have felt about objectively far worse economic situations in the past. Consumer sentiment was lower in Nov. than it was in April 2009, at the depths of the Great Recession. That's vibes.
The people who are keeping their head above water all:
Work multiple jobs, run a business or get comp’d extra via tips or OT
$300+ grocery bills are the norm now. Gas is expensive, as is rent and mortgages. Utilities are only going up.
The whole thing is unsustainable.
This isn’t an L it’s the truth and there are more economic hard times ahead.
People will need to make sacrifices. And the old ways won’t work anymore.
The reorganization has begun
Middle-management is going to get slashed by 90%. Pandemic really showed that beyond schmoozing at conferences most provide a little value just more expenses.
This whole "sit on Slack and don't do more than five hours of real work a week" thing isn't actually gonna be economically viable for quite some time
The number of people I know who do this give me the impression that we're gonna see some major layoffs in the coming years
The global supply chain runs on a 90 supply of food. If we stop producing clock is ticking.
Chinese are hoarding 51% of Rice supply & 40%+ of everything else.
Wheat is 15% of global calories, Ukraine & Russia combined produce 30% of global exports.

It means they’re hooking up with them but they’re not serious (looking for better options).
Everyone now is available if they’re talking to you. Even if they have a ring
There is a small ForeverTrump cohort of people who must be actively ignored as the New Right evolves and builds momentum.
This demo is obsessed with a man, not the movement, and are just as anticompetitive & petulant as the militant left.
Record high home valuations will devastate the middle class.
Home valuations plus inflation will lead to record high property tax hikes.
Don’t be left with the hot potato
Grew up chopping wood; this has nothing to do with muscle size.
The one on the right is much harder, fresh, wider and a has knots.
Second one is smaller width and has been aged a fair bit.
Also from the axe (same head shape) one on the left is sharper, that also helps alot
Let me get this straight.

destroyed his childhood dream, a 30k dollar magic card to create an NFT.
WotC is now suing over IP rights.
Holders of the NFT may be refunded. And

Everyone always says: “we want our kids to have it better than us” then turn around and say: “we had it harder, do it yourself” when they ask for help.
Of course you did, that’s the point.
You can’t have it both ways, and we know which path the Boomers chose
Why in the world would you NOT put a down payment on your kids house when they are in their 20’s and stable (ie he they won’t rip out the copper piping to sell for for meth) if you can. Most can’t afford to do. I understand. If you can afford to, and don’t do this, my goodness.

Your statement would be thrown out in any court for blatant spurious inaccuracies.
Have you no shame?
If any police continue to enforce unconstitutional legislation, consequences will inevitably ensue
The fact it’s happening everywhere and no one knows what’s going on it’s a non-coincidence.
It’s Eco-Terrorism.
We’re all blaming climate change, which is what they want…
You folks want enmass building and statue revival…
This is how you do it.
The artist or creator is just as important as the intention behind it.
Go read Diamond Age
Rogan was the cultural tastemaker via massive organic distribution.
A rogan meme would go viral bc of how easy it was to spread. You’d see it everywhere.
The podcast could come to you via your medium, length, and platform of choice.
Singular distribution killed this.
At some point in Life you realize if you have “IT” or not.
Right Place Right Time, “Lucky”, “Near Misses” etc.
If you have “IT”; you just have to throw everything you know out the window and Trust.
Because you’re one of the few who doesn’t get a choice in the Game.

A trash response that addresses nothing.
Just comments on the basic business BS “We Need to do better” it’s just full damage control.
Like Why isn’t this in your SOP? Why did this get through several levels without oversight or check?
Total failure. Hope there’s a lawsuit.
@chezzylam
Ma’am it sounds like you have straightphobia.
Perhaps you need reexamine your unconscious bias and do the work to understand your privilege.
WFH creates the most high functioning teams. It allows the “odd” and “weird” to thrive.
Culture is more often than not Consensus Mediocrity.

Americans conflate the Rich with Class.
Not even in the same stratosphere.
Noblesse Oblige is not driving a ‘Yoda it’s employing everyone from your hometown.
The Right fights over who gets laid.
The Left fights over who allocates funding better.
It’s obvious which side has Power and knows how to use it. In some senses we deserve to lose.
One of the few problems with buying good quality shit is you become spoiled by it.
Get good enough sheets, or pillows, coffee or music setup etc
Then go traveling/leave the compound.
Frustrating everyone’s expectations are low.
If you’re behind in life you need to be doing more moonshoots:
• Cold email the people you want to work with.
• Write a book.
• Send in applications and entries to all your dreams.
• Start posting online.
Your life can’t get any worse, may as well try for asymmetric upside
Never thought I'd say it but the Hamptons are slowly becoming not fun
Far too overcrowded, too many plebs have figured out the scene. Used to be able to go there to get away from everyone else, now everyone else is there anyway
Opening up a short position
The whiteboard is a gamechanger if you’re this type of person.
Had two going when it worked for me. Surround yourself if you can. Trust me. It’s like physical notion.
Might try again this week.
One of the best purchases I’ve ever made in my entire life was a 6ft whiteboard.
You don’t understand the degree to which it allows your mind to organise your entire reality better. Especially if a kinaesthetic person.
Offload conscious mind brain ram to whiteboard = free brain
People get drunk on Power, possessed by it because it (Power) is undirected. They have no higher aim.
It is why the moment a Plebeian obtains Power they will lord it over others because that is their only vision for it.
Power when used for productive ends does not corrupt.

Funny enough they measured their test levels at one point.
The three white guys are lower in test than the Asian, but all of them are below 600.
This life consists of 12 hours of hard labour minimum to battle against Nature’s Entropy just to keep the plot of land from being consumed.
Idealization of farming isn’t the way forward.
Wikipedia has changed the definition of recession.
Wayback's last capture was July 11, 2022.
Based on Wiki's changelog, the line: "There is no global consensus on the definition of a recession" was added on July 27.
The page is now locked.
“Everything you know was made by people like you”
Tolkien created ‘The Lord of the Rings’ some sixty years ago creating words and redefined an entire genre.
The World is far more mailable then you have been led to believe.
The “lifehack” to life is to find autists who already dedicated their life or a fair amount of time to the thing you want researched.
Just peruse their findings and draw your own conclusions
Sincere question: Why would the Rothschilds, one of the richest families on the earth, be selling off their private collection of heirlooms, art, and historic pieces when these pieces often serve as a symbol of their high status and power?

Noblesse Oblige or in a word, Competency.
We can moan about immigration, religion or gender, but our leaders aren’t competent.
Singapore the other bastion & opposite of Japan in many ways has multiculturalism, gov’t housing etc everyone decries.
Our problems are our own making
TikToker visits Japan and can’t comprehend how the cities are so much
Cleaner, nicer, safe, and high tech than USA cities
He says they don’t even compare. Tons of comments mystified for the same reason
Any guess as to what the difference is?
Everyone is dunking on him, but what he says is True.
America has done little to foster anything other than the idea of Capitalism in itself.
As a result, people see America only as a land of, and for extraction.
America is an idea more than a nation. Anyone around the world who adopts the ideas of free market capitalism and God-given individual rights can be American.
All billionaire stories are:
Friends & family had a ton of money from previous ventures so I asked for a loan; which they gave me (below market rates and far more then anyone would normally give)
Then I made a bet that if I lost I would be forgiven, then just had a normal 9-5
Hedge fund manager Ken Griffin is worth a mind blowing $40 billion and is one of the most villainized people on Wall St

There is some. US confirmed funding and training of Level 2 Biolabs (HIV and other moderate hazards).
There is rumours about this, as well as “misinformation”.
Take with salt and pocket idea.
Being realistic never pays
All “realistic” gets you by age 40 is a job with golden handcuffs, a mill in your 401k, and a lot of disappointment
Live unrealistically or suffer the consequences
Because people did not understand Bitcoin politically it partly has and will likely be co-opted long term.
Idiots wanted to pay their taxes with it and comply to KYC.
The ultimate revolution may still end in a whimper
“Conservatives who entertain it [National Divorce] are like a battered woman who dreams about leaving her domineering husband, but knows she never will. It’s a fantasy to avoid real-world problems.”
Richard Barnett was sentenced to 4.5 years in prison for entering Speaker Pelosi’s office on January 6th, 2021
Today, multiple LGBTQ activists stormed Speaker McCarthy’s office at the Capitol
Will they get the same treatment?
