  Elon Musk explains why he never starts with a product. He starts with a list he made in the shower: Musk is asked whether he begins with a specific product in mind. A Model S, a Falcon 9 and reverse-engineers his way there, or whether he starts by spotting something broken in the world and commits to fixing it, even without knowing how. Neither framing quite fits his answer. Every company he's built Tesla, SpaceX, SolarCity, and PayPal and Zip2 before them traces back to his time in college, when he set out to work out "what would most affect the future in a very likely to be a positive way." That single question produced a shortlist of five areas. Three he was confident about: "The three areas where I was quite sure would be positive were sustainable energy, internet, and making life multiplanetary." And two he wasn't: "There were a couple other areas where maybe a question mark, like AI and rewriting genetics." Those two came attached to a warning: "Potentially negative consequences, hopefully positive, but something could go wrong." The striking part is how the whole framework surfaced. Not from a strategic planning exercise or years of deliberation: "Those were the five areas that I could come up with standing in the shower basically." The takeaway: Musk doesn't chase products, and he doesn't start with what's broken. He starts one level higher by asking which domains will most shape the future of humanity, backing the ones he's convinced are net-positive, and letting specific companies fall out of that filter. The Model S and the Falcon 9 are downstream of a decision he made years before either existed. fu

  @PyroPupCenter @ZillaVader The best thing that anyone can do at this point is if you’ve already purchased any of the figures, challenge the purchase with your bank, PayPal, etc.. Novel Horizons cannot issue refunds for anyone.

  Brittney constantly says “leave my children alone” and acts outraged that people review what she publicly broadcasts about them. The problem is, Brittney herself keeps putting her children and alleged CPS calls into her content over and over again. Not occasionally. Repeatedly. Just in 2026 I've tracked 134 substantive retellings of Brittney’s personal CPS history across 91 streams on 83 separate dates between January 1 and August 5, 2026. She talks about her children being questioned by CPS, what CPS allegedly asked them, how the visits supposedly traumatized them, what allegations were made about their food, bedrooms, medical care, firearms, drugs, prenatal care, the baby, her parenting and her home. Then those stories become evidence that she is being persecuted. Then specific creators are accused of calling, inciting, “dog-whistling,” knowing the caller or being responsible because of who they associate with. And very often, all of this is happening alongside memberships, super chats, gifted memberships, Cash App, PayPal, Venmo, registries or other financial support. A few examples: 2/17 — “Get HELP Stat!!!” — 1:25:00–1:39:54 Brittney recounts six alleged CPS visits, police entries, drug accusations, drug testing and police canines while gifted memberships and Cash App support are being discussed. 2/18 — “Dehumanizing & Outright Lies!!” — 1:00:17–1:09:43 She tells the story of CPS allegedly being told she cooked for Craig but not her sons and says a caseworker inspected her refrigerator. Her child is audibly part of the stream while memberships are being gifted. 2/23 — “A Talk With My Daughter: The Impacts of Harassment on a Family” — 28:53–35:27 Her daughter is literally brought onto the channel to discuss how the online conflict and CPS calls allegedly affected the children. 6/28 — “Let’s Pick Up Where We Left Off” — 4:35:30–4:43:12 She discusses money viewers sent after a serious CPS allegation and explains that it was intended for an attorney. 8/2 — “What’s That About Nicknames?” — 2:18:28–2:26:31 She again talks about CPS repeatedly coming to the home because of online allegations while memberships, Cash App, PayPal and Venmo are being promoted. So spare me the idea that simply reviewing her public streams is somehow “exploiting” her children. She is the one repeatedly making alleged CPS calls and their supposed impact on her children part of her channel’s storyline. And she knows damn well people review these streams. She talks about clips. She talks about screenshots. She talks about people saving streams. She talks about transcripts and documentation. She asks people to send her clips. She discusses collecting material for attorneys, CPS and the district attorney. So this whole shocked act that people actually listen to what she publicly says is ridiculous. There is also an obvious contradiction in constantly demanding that everyone stop discussing the children while continuing to publicly disclose intimate details about them whenever those details help reinforce the victim narrative. The children are apparently completely off-limits... until their alleged trauma helps prove how persecuted Brittney is. Then suddenly we hear about CPS interviews, fears of police, medical treatment, sleeping arrangements, pregnancy, the baby, drug accusations and what caseworkers supposedly found. And to be clear: none of this means every CPS call was fake or that every donation was specifically given because of CPS. But the recurring content pattern is impossible to ignore: Talk about the children → tell another CPS story → describe the family as victims → accuse someone in the community → outrage the audience → promote or receive financial support → repeat. You cannot repeatedly use your children’s alleged trauma as evidence in your public persecution narrative and then declare that nobody else is allowed to discuss the very information you chose to broadcast. Protecting children means limiting their exposure. It does not mean making their alleged trauma recurring content whenever it is useful for sympathy, loyalty and financial support. At some point, “leave my kids out of it” needs to start with the person holding the microphone.

  He robbed 155 dollars from me, my call out went nowhere, I’ll never see my money back. It’s too late to issue a refund from PayPal. He was giving a friend of mine a hard time on his commission. I don’t have the pull on here some do. But please. Just don’t waste your time

  @AgnostikGnostik dont worry about it as long as its clear on your profile on both paypal and ko-fi that its donations - it wont be an issue. at first you may have to wait a bit for funds to clear unfortunately. and it also has a option to say its digital delivery.

  Of course I have no proof other than my guy lol PayPal is strict but ...Yes and no, the no isn't in the sense where they are doing something wrong. However, they only issue income tax papers IF they have a business number for her. They don't require this at least from Ontario Canadians BC there is an income earned threshold where we HAVE TO have a buness number. PayPal can and does ask but again it's not required until they ask for it. I've a business account for 2 decades. They asked me for a business number only 6-7 months ago.

  This guy opened his PayPal and found $92 QUADRILLION in his account For exactly 2 minutes he was the richest man in human history His name is Chris Reynolds, a PR guy from Pennsylvania who used PayPal to sell vintage car parts and had never held more than $1,000 in his account Then in June 2013 his monthly statement arrived showing a balance of $92,233,720,368,547,800 That's over a million times the fortune of the richest man alive at the time and more than 1,000x the GDP of the entire planet It also showed up as a NEGATIVE number, meaning for a moment Chris technically owed the largest debt in human history He logged in to check and his real balance was $0.00 But that exact number wasn't random, it was a fingerprint of what broke inside PayPal's machines The biggest number a standard 64 bit computer can physically hold is 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 Banks count money in cents instead of dollars to avoid rounding errors Treat that maximum number as cents, divide by 100, and you land almost exactly on Chris's balance His account didn't glitch to some random figure, it got pinned to the mathematical ceiling of what a computer can count The same type of error blew up Europe's Ariane 5 rocket 40 seconds after launch in 1996, the flagship of an $8 billion space program destroyed because a number didn't fit in its box And in 2012 one forgotten piece of old code cost trading firm Knight Capital $440 million in 45 minutes When reporters asked Chris what he would have done with the money, he said he'd pay off the entire US national debt and then buy himself a baseball team "If I get a great price" For 2 minutes he was worth more than every economy on Earth combined and it couldn't buy him a single coffee

  The money system you use every day is getting rebuilt, and the biggest players are leading it. Last year, $33 trillion moved on blockchains through stablecoins — more than Visa and Mastercard combined. That’s not a theory anymore. It’s happening. Stripe bought a stablecoin company for $1 billion and built its own blockchain, Tempo, with Visa validating on it. Mastercard is acquiring BVNK. PayPal already issues PYUSD, and Circle went public at a $33 billion valuation. Think of it like WhatsApp for money. Traditional payments pass through four or five banks, take two days to settle, and charge fees at every step. Stablecoins use the internet instead, making transfers faster and cheaper. The rails underneath global commerce are changing right now. Your bank won’t tell you because it doesn’t benefit them. But the shift is already underway.

  There are issues with the lightning network and some Bitcoin maxis are afraid and scared of it This is another proof that many are in Bitcoin only for sovereign reason and they are deeply uneducated in economics. Reality: Bitcoin as MoE is trying to solve a problem that doesn’t exist, as humanity is having a savings problem, but not a MoE problem, as we have paypal, mastercard+visa, apple pay, each of them working perfectly. Hence, a part of some Bitcoiners, there is no demand for Bitcoin as MoE, therefore any toold developed is for sure unstable. Basic Austrian Economics, and, unfortunately, many in Bitcoin are not even capable to understand it. Bitcoin as a reliable MoE is at least 10 or even 20 years away, till then, Fiat as MoE will always be the safer choice

  Follow up on my problems with Meta. The azzwipe who hacked my FB account also tried to steal $260 something, according to PayPal. Working it out with PayPal, I think. But I’m furious. IF I ever rejoin FB I’ll change my passwords once a month. Changing others this weekend as I have time. 😡
