I've always been a firm believer of this: It only takes one person to believe in someone. To help them see the potential they have to strive in life! Life is already hard, people are horrible and evil--- why not spread love, hope, and positivity? Be nice to one another, help each other out.. you never know the cards others may be dealing with 💕

[@cesar5478]

I agree, i listen to Les Brown the motivational speaker a lot. And he said that he was always told that he was slow and retarded. Then one day he told that to a teacher, and the teacher told him don't ever say that again. And he told him someone else's opinion does not have to be his reality. And that changed his life. He his now one of the top speakers in the world!

@@InfiniteRhombus 80000 bitcoin does seem to be a huge exaggeration. Wouldn't they be a billionaire if that was the case? I do know a bitcoin millionaire (I should have taken his advice way back in 2010!), hell, I'd have a good half a million quid if I'd kept the bitcoins I bought back then, instead of buy (decent quality) drugs! LoL! My friend mined most all of his. Beginning with two PCs, then I saw him about 6months later and he had most of his room whirring away, mining for him (about 20 PCs all linked up)... He mined maybe a few hundred coins, and this was from 2009 until about 2015 - around when they ROCKETED up in value! By his own admission, he'd have around £15million IF he'd sold at the right time. But he wasn't into the markets as such, and literally about half a year, maybe a year later, he sold them all and got £5million out of it all. And yeah, he got out of it then. He concentrated all his time and effort on Bitcoin right from the beginning. "Mate, it's free money... just gotta mine it." He was getting about a couple of coins a day at the start. Then it was about a coin once a month - even with vastly improved computing power. It was getting harder basically. He had a mental breakdown in the end... I don't know why exactly, but he literally became someone who never saw daylight for months on end, so that probably had something to do with it!? He even paid his shrink with bitcoin at the time! LoL! But yeah, he's out of it now, just living (healthily now) his life, spending his time spending! Sonofabitch! LoL! He literally just travels the world now. Doing nothing in particular... fair enough... Man, I remember buying bitcoin when they were less than £1 per coin. Now they're about £8000 a coin! I'd buy 70 coins(about £65 at the time!) and spend them on drugs... Now, those coins would set me up easily! About £560 000 (half a million quid, just over...)

10:51 - Man, this part when he starts talking about his then girlfriend and now wife really made me smile. The part at 11:02 was something else. When you see Gummo tearing up and all the fond memories starting to rush back to him that make him emotional. You see him start to move his right hand, something he's never done for 10 minutes and longer sitting there. He doesn't know how to handle it. It's a sign that he got overwhelmed with feelings and doesn't know how to process it. You hear his voice start to crack and how quickly he gets on the verge of tears. I immediately knew why. This was the first time in his life that he felt love and that he was welcomed somewhere. We was embraced with open arms by his girlfriend's family, when for all that time he didn't have his own who would do it. I know that fcking feeling too well... We NEED to feel wanted in life, we NEED to feel that we belong. Unfortunately we are humans, we are flawed. We are run by oir emotions and our desire to be a part of the group. It is sad that we are social creatures, because we have needs that we ourselves cannot fulfill, no matter how much we tried. We have to rely on others to do it for us and that is a really stopid fcking thing. I wish that wasn't the case, but that is not the world we live in. It is a lonely existence being a human, a lonesome road paved with harsh gravel that we must walk ourselves, only in hopes that alnog the way someone shows up who wants to walk along side us...

We all know right from wrong and he chose to steal from others amongst numerous other crimes and having a hard childhood doesn't excuse that. I've met numerous former drug abusers, people from broken homes, people that simply "had it worse" that would never dream of stealing from others because they simply didn't want to get a job and be a functional member of society. This isn't some hero, this is a former criminal driven by delusions of grandeur and selfish desires whom got lucky in the long run. The same people that promote this felon, this ex-con as some virtuous individual that overcame adversity, are the same that believe narrative is more important than fact.

@FM I don't think so mate. His crying seemed too real and you can tell he's very nervous in front of the camera and not good at all at handling his emotions. After all, he's talking about his family and an important point in his life so it makes sense for him to be moved by the mere thought of it.

[@GRAYgauss]

@FM And what does he get out of social engineering strangers in an interview of this format? Take advantage, how? Do you think he has predicted that he will see you at W time in X place to do Y thing requiring your Z mental state? At this point the interview does nothing for him. He didn't try to make anything seem cool, he stated what he did rather plainly, and who doesn't smile while recalling "good times?" He wasn't dwelling or tooting his horn, he was asked to give his life story, his perspective... He had to survive so these "bad" things were just what a child had to do...A child who didn't get parenting or help. Another thing, every manipulator knows that using pity is a risky con because people have such repulsion towards it's constant expression. This interview in every way is a risk if he's trying to manipulate, it'd have been better to not even try to lie about an origin story than put out public example of his technique. Avoid weaving lies whenever possible because every lie you weave is part of the web you maintain AND you give away your methods. If you make a slip, it's a breadcrumb that time will always unveil. Given we're not omniscient, you can't mitigate all risk in any lie so to live as a liar for a long time you need moderation. You're really not as clever as you think you are and people aren't as simple as you think. You're not going to get far if you just assume the worst in people out of the inability to discern the best. You cross me as someone with very little life experience and who doesn't know how to interact with/doesn't understand people. There's so many ways we can go at it, but do you really not see all the behaviours/gestures/whatever in this video and really cannot confidently cross-analyze with your personal experience? I'm confident with just a few key minutes of video, and we have a whole hour to analyze. Not even the best method actor could endure video scrutiny without time limit. Since he's a self proclaimed social engineer, he's clearly aware of this and I highly doubt he's so dumb. If anything, if this was a con, the best thing is to be 100% honest to play as if he's reformed. There's just so many ways to go about it, but seriously, are you so bad at reading people that you think you can only use some purely logical argument instead of all the behaviour? Just for example, Rudolf illustrated what your blind axiomatic thinking leads to and you debated him on his conclusion of you. Fortunately, unlike Rudolf, you have an entire hour of content that shows clear strteam of conscious, etc...I'm going to assume you're sheltered, disabled, and young...But, personally, I don't really think you're this ignorant and you're playing your own con.

1 + 2 Nobody knew the reasons why people were taken away. But it could affect everyone. Therefore, in every house, for such an occasion, a bag with essentials was hung by the door. Once they came for me. As a teacher, I was taken to the camp to teach Chinese and teach propaganda songs to prisoners. The cell had a concrete floor, walls and five video cameras on the ceiling. 20 people huddled on 16 square meters. The prisoners were wearing uniforms and handcuffs. They were all shaved baldly. In the camp, I also worked in a hospital, where I witnessed how prisoners were given medicines unnecessarily, maybe experiments were being carried out to, for example, make women infertile. At one of the meetings, she witnessed how the guards raped a young woman in front of 200 prisoners. Anyone who showed sympathy for her himself became the object of humiliation and torture in a "black" room with an electric chair, where I was also tortured until I lost consciousness. Since I visited the camp, sometimes I cannot even climb onto the bed myself. In the cell, I slept too long on the cold concrete floor, and now I have rheumatism. At 43, I became a sick person, although I was completely healthy before the camp, ”says the book“ Die Kronzeugin ”(The Main Witness) by German writer Alexandra Kavelius and Sairagul Sauytbai about the“ camps ”in Xinjiang. Gulzira Auelkhan: “My job was to take off their clothes above the waist and put on handcuffs so that they could not move,” said Gulzira Auelkhan, crossing her wrists behind her head for a demonstration. “Then I left the women in the room and a man came in - some Chinese outside or a policeman. I sat silently at the door, and when the man left the room, I took the woman in the shower. " According to her, Chinese men "would pay money to select the most beautiful young inmates." Some former camp inmates said they were forced to help the guards or were punished. Auelhan said she was powerless to resist or interfere. When asked if there is a system of organized rape, she replied: "Yes, rape." “They made me go into that room,” she said. "They made me take off those women's clothes, hold their hands and leave the room." According to Ziavudun, some of the women who were taken from their cells at night were never returned. The returnees were threatened that they would not tell others in the cell about what had happened to them. “You cannot tell anyone about what happened, you can only lie down quietly,” she said. "He was created to destroy everyone's spirit." “It was scary and cold there. I thought I was going to die here. I was asked something in Chinese, I could not answer. Then I was electrocuted.

Quanguo has turned the entire region into a police state with checkpoints between cities and within cities - between districts, with a network of cameras with facial recognition, with mandatory ID scanning to enter houses and shopping centers. Everywhere - policemen in uniform and civilian clothes. Forced organ harvesting in China is carried out in relation to representatives of ethnic, linguistic or religious minorities detained in different regions, and they are often not told the reasons for detention or there is no arrest warrant, "- says the conclusion of 12 experts, the most popular organs for seizure are the heart , kidneys, liver and cornea of ​​the eye, and this measure is applied to members of the banned Falun Gong movement, Uyghurs, Tibetans, Muslims and Christians. Imagine that you were imprisoned in an internment camp or sentenced to years in prison solely on the basis of: your ethnicity; you are traveling, living or studying abroad; the number of children you have; your religion; the presence of WhatsApp on the phone; or your calls to friends and family abroad. This is the reality of the 1 million men and women detained in Xinjiang since 2017. Evidence compiled by Amnesty International provides a factual basis for concluding that the Chinese government has committed crimes against humanity in Xinjiang

I've gone on to get my CCNA, MS Azure (cloud) cert, DCSE, and a few others. I have no formal college education, yet I have 12+ years in the enterprise IT industry all because someone gave me a chance at my lowest point in life and paid for me to get the Sec+. These days my job and main focus is enterprise linux infrastructure (cloud/on prem servers, DBs, firewalls, virtualization, etc) and networking.

[@OceanSwimmer]

TC Personal, People like you and gummo give me hope. I'm retired from healthcare, and my kids are grown & flown. I realize the future is in the hands of your generation. I'm not complaining when I say my time is past --- I certainly pray with all my heart there are more people like you and gummo, who use your skills and knowledge to help others, to do good and remain safe, to expose major bad actors and render them harmless. I pray you continue to use your intelligence and skills to make certain criminals do NOT succeed corrupting our government....'cause to be honest, it sure feels like our freedoms are being suppressed and taken away. I pray there are more good guys like you & gummo than bad actors who are doing evil shite to control, hurt, and enslave others. America is at a turning point, approaching 'critical mass' of a Civil War: looking at the past (I grew up in the 1950s) and comparing it to today, I worry that our government seeks to enslave and control us, & has become the enemy of Freedom. People like me/ and many others are vulnerable to bad actors in positions of power. I fear those who use internet criminals to manipulate us into a 'global government' with shared misery for all. Thanks for reading, and take care there.

@@alwaysuknown7770 True, if you want a real high paying gig, get into their network and show them how weak it is. Hospitals are notorious for lax security, you could make as much as you want with fake accounts in retired doctor's names and use any large hospital billing dept. to process all the info through medicare, just make sure to bill for small things and as long as they're what that doctor did no red flags will go up for a long time. The amount of money processed through a medical billing dept. at a major hospital is insane, the volume of information and billable items to choose from is mind boggling. That being said, I am in no way advocating criminal activity.
