  **MOLD SAGA UPDATE** Waiting on tools to be dropped off and parts to be delivered so I can fix this pulley and belt and coil packs. Could REALLY use $50 for gas, I’ve only got a half a tank and I need to get to Atlanta and drive around a little bit before I’ll make any money so if anyone wanted to throw me even a couple bucks it would help tremendously.

  Elon Musk got 5 minutes at USC in 2014 and packed 4 rules into them that still outwork every $200 MBA book. Rule 1: came with a scene instead of a slide 2 brothers skipping the apartment to sleep on a couch in a rented office, showering at the YMCA, sharing 1 computer so the website ran by day while Elon coded through the night, 7 days a week, and his girlfriend had to sleep in the office just to see him. His math was brutal: when someone works 50 hours and you work 100, you ship 2 years of progress in 1. Rule 2: a company is nothing but people, so gather great ones or join great ones, because talent and direction decide everything else. Rule 3: signal over noise, which is why Tesla spent $0 on advertising and poured every dollar into R&D, manufacturing and design, killing any effort that didn’t make the car better. Rule 4: reason from first principles the way physicists cracked quantum mechanics, boiling things down to fundamental truths and building up from there instead of copying whatever the crowd does. Then the closer, aimed straight at 22-year-olds with no mortgage and no kids: risk gets expensive with age, and every added obligation turns bold moves into careful ones. He built PayPal, Tesla and SpaceX on those 4 rules. The couch came before the rockets.

  @Lizbattler2 LOL yeah unfortunately the way the scam works is they send you a fake check, and by the time its processed and you realize its fake you’ve already sent a “refund.” The reason for sending a check? their venmo, paypal, and cashapp were all conveniently not working today 🙃

  Sapvage comms have slowed down, and that's fine–I expect they'll pick back up once the 2.0 update drops and you can finally put them into the game. It just means my PayPal was almost empty when the scammer struck, and now it's in the red... Comms are still open, of course! Heh...

  A shopping plugin quietly rewrites who gets paid at checkout. The retailer pays a commission it didn't owe. The creator who drove the sale gets nothing. That's the kind of thing my guest this week on Won't Fix, @bgedelman, finds and exposes. He read the code for Phia, who called it a recent bug; he collaborated with MegaLag on the Honey/PayPal plugin scandal. Ben has been doing this kind of research since 2001. We talked about a bunch of topics, including the story he thinks is being ignored: AppLovin. He decompiled ~600,000 lines of obfuscated code and has some questions for carriers and AppLovin about their consent/installation practices. AppLovin has said that every install has explicit user consent.

  Meet Maya. She isn’t a crypto trader. She’s a graphic designer who just wants to send money to a developer in Tokyo without paying a $35 wire fee. Last year, a friend told her to try using a fast financial network. So she did. But the second she tried to move her funds, the screen hit her with a pop-up: “Please convert your ERC-20 token to the native chain using a cross-chain bridge.” Maya stared at her phone. Bridge? ERC-what? She closed the app and used Paypal. That’s the silent killer of crypto. We built incredible financial highways, but we locked the doors with confusing jargon, manual token conversions, and terrifying multi-step bridges. If you have to explain network standards to someone just so they can trade a token, you’ve already lost them. This week, two massive things happened for Injective ($INJ) that fix this exact problem. First, @coinbase finished migrating INJ entirely to its native network. No bridging, no wrapped tokens, no accidental burnt funds. You buy it, you withdraw it straight to where it actually runs. Second, $INJ went live on @RobinhoodApp . Because Robinhood and Coinbase are where everyday people, the Mayas of the world actually hang out. Instead of forcing millions of retail investors to jump through technical hoops, the friction was simply erased. @injective brought high-speed financial tools directly to the apps people already use. The future of crypto adoption isn't about teaching non-technical people how the machinery works. It’s about making the machinery invisible. When moving money on-chain feels as effortless as sending an email, that’s when real adoption happens. We’re finally getting closer to that world.

  Josh peck compares the difference between making money as an actor and an influencer “When I was 15 years old and started making money on Drake and Josh, I was like this gives me a lot of power and it gave me a lot of security and I was like I will do everything in my power to provide for the rest of my life” “ it was a terrible feeling as a little kid, I saw my mom struggle but I couldn’t do anything” “but when I started social media it was the first time that I was like able to do a job and work at something and make money pretty instantaneously” “In 2014, I had gotten really big on VINE, I was the number 1 person on vine and I remember it was July of 2014, I got the brand deal with this darting company called BADOO and they were like we will give you $5000 to make a VINE they were like we will PayPal you” “They were in Europe I was like they will probably not turn out, and I said worst case scenario I spend an hour making this video and they don’t send me the money and I will take it down, then it hit then within that month I made like $20,000”

  A brand was losing subscribers it had already won. The product was fine, the payment link was wrong. Every failed-payment email pointed to the same place: update your card here. One link for everyone. But not everyone pays with a card. A PayPal customer sent to a Shopify card form cannot fix a thing. Shop Pay is a wallet, so a card update in Shopify does not touch it. Those people got emails they could not act on. The fix we gave them was not more reminders. It was routing each failure correctly. Card to the platform, PayPal into PayPal, Shop Pay to Shop Pay. On 10,000 subs at 91% success, that is 900 failures a month. Recover one point and you save 100 orders. At $50 each that is $5,000 a month. Dunning is not about more retries. It is about letting the customer who wants to pay you actually do it.

  @HurdlingStereo Tore posted a comment about Thought Crimes - remember that guy - with the Dog avatar? And because TC 'visited' the CA group when he 'visited' the physical state of CA (this goes back to 2021, right in that timeframe??), and because I admin'd in CA, I had a front row seat to the **** show - tho TC’s ‘visit’ was prior to my admin stint. I was asked to admin CA state group AFTER I accidentally caused a huge dust up in the CA group for asking about billboards and billboard $$$, noting that if we could not manage our state group, how on earth could we manage a whole state. I have details about that **** that few others have. NOT saying I see it from a 40K view, only that I witnessed specific details personally. I admin'd along side Ashley, Wonderland and 2 others who were largely not present. ID’ing Jackson and Whims as top down infiltrators was easy - every time there was an emergency task, especially whims, made it almost impossible to actually get the job done - I’d commented to ashley that it seemed purposeful. And also there was the ‘story’ jackson and whims peddled about the billboard $$$ - I took notes for that and was tasked to recount that to the CA group so they could have the details. It only took 6 weeks to catch up to J&W to collect that story (they were not in a rush to tell it) and after I submitted a recap of their details before publishing in the group, they wanted corrections. I used to be a secretary …. I take VERY good, very detailed notes and make very good recaps - it was part of an actual job. The details they wanted changed did not make sense. They also blamed the amount of the billboard invoice on Gary, and that story did not hold up over time either. Those folks were stealing. I do not have smokin gun proof, but I was close enough and dealt with enough details to know, the story they were peddling did not hunt, and the story they peddled changed over time. A bit after the above, we had very judiciously made an admin level decision that was HARD TO MAKE after suffering ALOT from shenanigans that we supposedly had every right to make, only to have that decision veto'd. wonderland, ashley and I banned Gary and Falcon Sight from the CA group (they were causing all manner of issues), jackson vetoed our decision - when we were admin'd, we were told by W&J that we had complete control over the group, obviously, this control was to be used within reason, of course. The rationale they used to 'splain' why .... it was clear they were not working for the benefit of the group. Shortly after that, in an in person meeting with wonderland and ashley, I said out loud that jackson and whims were top down infiltration …. and the looks on their faces. I was saying the part I wasn’t supposed to see. And wonderland was TIGHT with whims and jackson. I never trusted wonderland; when I had to admin alongside her, I promised myself I would do my very best to NOT see her thru my past lens of experience and extend her trust, until such a time as she eroded it. I was actually impressed that I accomplished this task. ashley aways comported herself in friendly manner - a little big on the love bombing and attempting to emotionally bond. However, I never really trusted ashley because she was visibly emotionally unstable and openly spoke of imbibing a number of substances on a regular basis. I voluntarily stopped admin'ing as I had other personal details I needed to attend to and could not do both well. I must say, attempting to admin in a group where from the top down, failure was intended and you were beat to pulp for actually accomplishing **** …. made it hard to continue; the choice was horrible - you lose if you continue, you lose if you stop. The ONLY way an admin can un-admin themself from a chat is to leave the group - auto un-admin. Otherwise, you must wait for others to do it for you - and I wasn’t waiting. Thus my exit from the chat; I’d occasionally look in it, but did not rejoin. After I stepped down from CA admin, I got thrown in front of bus by a bunch of CA peeps - and when those people actually were dumb enough to tag me in comments in Tore's chat, I then basically shared what I knew, which none ever rebutted. And when they tagged me, since I didn’t just stupidly pelt them with calling names but starting airing facts, they’d always scatter. Because I didn’t shrink, they didn’t stop talking ****, but they did stop tagging me. Getting thrown in front of a bus happened for about a year, maybe a year and half with a few errant comments after that after I stopped admin'ing. A while after I stopped admin’ing, ashley, MayDay, Marilyn (?) and 2 - 3 others were ‘voted in’ to admin. I was never banned from the CA chat until the very day set to vote for new admins - I was banned that very day and was never unbanned. It’s been a while since I attempted to go to the CA chat, but last time I tried the link, it didn’t work (long after I was initially banned). Wonderland did a short stint as TS admin; I hope my screenshot of her passing the collection plate (via paypal) because Jackson and Whims were sooooo broke and they dedicated all their time to Tore if anyone can spare even just a little - THE DAY I got admin’d, that idiot sent me that message, on the down-low, asking for money for those two …. they didn’t ask for money in broad daylight; they did it behind the curtain. I did notice a few of my comments started going missing from the TS chat, specifically replies to content containing lies about me, which I replied to correct. That comment, plus the initial comment also went ‘missing’. The MIA posts were generally posts that were my direct experience of admin'ing the CA chat. That person was TIGHT with Thought Crimes according to what was said in a very minimal exchange via DM. That person used to ‘work with’ TC to trace the ‘bad guys’ (close to actual words, but obviously, tracking networks) …. but I’m pretty sure, based on what Tore’s said recently about TC, he’s the dog that stole money from the crypto wallet that mistakenly paid off the billboard balance (mistakenly paid off part of the story told by Jackson and Whims). I’m cannot say that tS admin deleted my comments; I can only say that person's advent as admin was the start of my ‘missing comments’. My curiosity would be: who else in CA group took part of that money grab. Remember, TC blamed the billboard $$$ theft on Mayday …. till he rescinded his accusation. But it would make sense if the public accusation compelled behavior of others. Could be that the architect of that crypto theft was not TC? And the public accusation was the tool to pry open a piece of the pie? I could say lots more …. but only if the details are needed. X is not playing nice today - can’t really listen to the chat on device or desktop …. so just leaving this here.
