    I launched a company in October, we have almost no money, the company is literally just me, but over the past month I've been relentlessly attacked by phishing scams and this one odd overpayment scam, and i've been getting a crazy number of calls and hangups for "wrong numbers." i just dont get how I can be worth all this time. Its blowing my mind right now. I want to kick these people in the fcking groin.

      Stop thinking about the world like it's like d&d character creation. People don't act like that, people change, it's what we do, who says a person that is nice to other people and is lawful isn't actually a menace behind closed doors or vice versa. People sour, or they mellow out through time and that's seen in their actions, not imaginary rpg personality maps lol I've been lawful and illegal, evil and good so have you probably, is it that easy for you to put yourself in a quadrant? 🤔

      Stop with the making sense, its going to ruin the narrative he is trying to push that anything that isnt legal is somehow "evil". How dare you question the corporation called the United States and its corporate for-profit scheme called the Legal System. Its not like they just put in place the biggest honey pot the world has seen by legalizing ar braces then making them illegal thus creating 40 million + new -customers- criminals overnight. What ever you do dont think for yourself either, it would go against the narrative that is being pushed by this pretend-a-fringe checkmarked channel.

    Stellar work my friend. Did want to add that from what I read online, that conference wasn't a chance meeting of "i just happened to run in to that guy at some random place in the world" and more of a "we didn't have this guy on our list yet, but based on what we gathered so far, this conference made sense to attend for more intel and achieving sub-goals for our investigation."

    Sometimes the public is deceived until the law is "evil"; those laws are "unwittingly" enforced by those who support "evil" with integrity.
    So sometimes breaking the law and exposing lies, using secrecy and deception, can be "good" things to do.

    Question of morality:
    Let suppose you're in a role of an elite system pwning master, but you got honor code or whatever.
    Will you as such person penetrate a system if you are gonna die in few days, where the target company has the cure but don't want to share it with you just so you can suffer, what will you do?
    Are you then evil or good if you take on the target?
    Even better non tech analogy, someone in front of you with guns is making fun of you waving with the cure in front of your face, mocking you, will you jump and take the bottle to survive or you will accept death?

    I mean mercenaries are always going to be out there especially when developer gigs are so underappreciated and underpaid
    I still think it’s quite unusual that to date there’s been no mention of some of the more specific detailing in regards to any of this
    I admire a lot of your ethics in regards to so much of this technology and your angle when interviewing people
    I certainly can’t claim that I’ve been an angel over the years
    I will say that there are those that how do you said do work within an ethical framework and then there are those that seem to be a bit carried away like these people
    I mentioned in a comment as a response further down how long I’ve been embroiled in the constructive research of these people and to be fair lines to get gray
    After the last three years I have trouble still believing that without a solid understanding of the whole picture any of these groups are knowledgeable or capable of doing anything about these people
    I mean I have 10 years of understanding and three years of data and even with that I find myself overwhelmed and unsure where to begin and comprising a cohesive report
    Especially because so much of this not only stems from here in our own country but is being carefully hidden behind other parties that are often put into jail and do not belong there and because of all the data seeming to belong to them are in capable of fighting back
    Also to be fair the dark web does have a lot of very complicated constructs people and circumstances where it can sometimes become difficult for authorities or people in a position of legal authority to act in a way that is constructively useful or in a way that has any understanding of that gray area where in so many people hiding on there are truly doing no harm at most are perhaps technological freedom fighters while others are hiding behind the mask of red hats or freedom and instead are simply robbing humanity blind with no concern for any guidelines in regards to the concepts upon which many of the people on the dark web believe in an act upon.
    It’s like pirates having rules like bedtime at 8 PM which which oddly enough was actually a rule but they also stopped people and daughter gold as long as they worked for the east India company they didn’t tend to rob actual fishermen or people who were doing their best to just simply get by and they also stopped doing that at 8 PM so there was a fair bit of evening time where upon you could pretty much guarantee you were not going to get attacked by pirates allowed everyone to get a good nights rest before being attacked by pirates the next day it was incredibly fair
    I can only assume the Pirates that did not believe in these mechanisms were treated as history describes-and it’s not describe kindly
    Large parts of me somewhat hopes that this premise is still somewhere out there being fully realized
    But I may be a bit jaded by the circumstances to be fair

At a local level we democratically vote for our candidates. Wish people were more accurate about what the US really is. I notice that the main stream media does say "such and such is a threat to DeMoCrACY" a lot. If they are not accurate with that then what else are they not accurate in?
