  If something major happens for me I won't turn it down. I promise I'll come back back to the city of San Francisco though. I did some work for a place called tactic and they're hiring at night so I sent him a quick application I saw I on indeed. They pay you that day with PayPal. I'm having lunch. A cool time at the AI Engineers World Fair. A drop in my air head bucket. I kept wondering why the band wasn't playing. I said come on I even yelled free bird at them. And I found out it was an open mic type thing. Goofasauras comes to Moscone West. I did give somebody a peace sign behind my back this morning too!

  This is the launcher, where is WhatsApp as Skype, which they try to move to where Brave/Multiscape is by claiming that I have no proof of a webclient (to play Multiscape with a web browser, Brave being an example of a web browser) mentioned only in a YouTube video that mentions the domain name I edited years ago to Rune-Server thread's (15th Century, which was the Multiscape thread mentioning Jami as the owner and "we" referring to Ari and Jami, while these manipulators claim it refers to Joni and Jami) reply and that the owner would be Joni (without any other proof that it was Jami's pseudonym than Rune-Server mentioning Jami as the owner) and thus forcing me to move Brave/Multiscape next to RuneScape as my projects/interests that I don't have a proof of like Multiscape 317 with a webclient was owned by Joni Arola (it wasn't according to Rune-Server, unless you think "we" refers to Joni and Jami instead of Ari, whose PayPal link was posted on Multiscape forums without the link showing Ari's name, and Jami) instead of me, Jami. Even if they have no proof of lying, they claim that if I tried to claim that Ari and Jami (me) were the Multiscape team and that Joni mentioned in the YouTube video was my pseudonym, it could be understood as a lie, because the claim that Joni was my pseudonym wouldn't have been made when the YouTube video of the webclient was made but in 2026, meaning that Multiscape was owned by Joni until 2026 as Jami wasn't mentioned in the YouTube video but only on Rune-Server, where the link mentioned in the YouTube video's description was edited to a reply without the date of edit being shown implying it could be done way after the YouTube video, even if the edit wasn't recent, and not true as the video was about a RSPS owned by Joni implying that it wasn't the same RSPS as the one advertised on Rune-Server and editing its link to Rune-Server could be a lie to claim they was the same RSPS, i.e. Multiscape would be linked to Brave in 2026, not earlier. This means WhatsApp as Skype would be the first app there's a proof of, the last one being TomTom and thus the order would start with TomTom app meaning that it starts in my best friend TomTom's place in 2023 and ends with my mom as WhatsApp contact in 2026 instead of starting with Multiscape webclient in 2010 and ending with TomTom in 2026 like it all was a lie started in 2023 instead of truth between from 2007 (Camera app was linked with Bitcoin, because I received a video camera with a microSD card as a Christmas present in 2007, while Bitcoin was 2011 or 2012, which is why Camera isn't before Multiscape webclient in 2010). Do you see the manipulation, @grok? The Rune-Server thread that mentions the link of Multiscape forums the YouTube video not posted by Jami but what mentions Joni as the owner mentions in its description mentions Jami as the owner. The Rune-Server mentioning Jami as the owner is as much truth as the YouTube video mentioning Joni as the owner in the end credits. Neither can be proven wrong. The edit to the reply wasn't recent, meaning there's no proof that it wasn't made when the RSPS was ran by Jami. Thus, objectively speaking, Jami and Joni were both owners of the same RSPS. It would be wrong to claim that Jami wasn't one of the owners of Multiscape 317 with a webclient.

  Potshopscape website shows PayPal link of my uncle Ari. That's the original Multiscape website. Onebip was mine. Fortumo was used in Counter-Strike 1.6. Goldfarming with my uncle Ari involved a home server in Ari's cabinet and VPS.

  @mhdksafa When Elon Musk's report card is written, there will be: Co-founded online bank X. com 1999, sold to PayPal. Joined Tesla as its largest investor 2004, a year after it was founded. Founded SpaceX (Space Exploration Technologies Corporation) 2002. Acquired Twitter 2022. Founded xAI 2023. Ran DOGE 2025. DOGE shut down USAID in January and February 2025, locked employees out of their offices and cancelled contracts. Elon Musk posted, “We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper. Could gone to some great parties. Did that instead.” Marco Rubio cut 83% of USAID programs. According to a peer reviewed study published in The Lancet, 91,839,663 deaths were avoided over a 21 year period by USAID. The Impact Counter shows the impact of the USAID shutdown frozen at the 1-year mark. 262,915 Adult Deaths and 518,428 Child Deaths. According to a peer reviewed study published in The Lancet, "Forecasting models predicted that the current steep [USAID] funding cuts could result in more than 14,051,750 (uncertainty interval 8,475,990–19,662,191) additional all-age deaths, including 4,537,157 (3,124,796–5,910,791) in children younger than age 5 years, by 2030." The 14,051,750 deaths forecast to result from USAID shutdown represented 2.34 times the 6,000,000 deaths in the Holocaust. The deaths were about 70.3% as many as the 20,000,000 estimated to have occurred in the COVID-29 pandemic. DOGE slashed the Federal workforce by 9%, but succeeded in reducing the Federal budget deficit less than one half of one percent. The Federal government is not Twitter.

  Interesting vulnerability in PayPal's @PayPal login flow: If your account uses 2FA and you login, you now get prompted if you'd like to use a Passkey, but when you decline that and close the prompt, it bypasses the 2FA entirely and logs you straight in.

  From my co-copywrite holder’s public posts, he has closed down Patreon, and has been suspended by PayPal when attempting to provide refunds. The above step is to provide coverage for thoes members, if requested, to retain a copy of the game.

  @AskPayPal Your too late issue handled. btw that was not the solution. I needed a phone call. To attain excellent customer service you need to step it up big time. Or get out of the way and close your doors as just another business that sucks. Being the first often means the worst.

  "We" in Multiscape was my uncle Ari (PayPal) and me, while I used usernames Niconi, Jami and Joni (who wasn't even my friend anymore, when I worked with Multiscape). Rune-Server shows domain name that a webclient-related YouTube video shows. The post is edited, but not recently.

  I was someone who wasn't able to buy a stream ticket and watch Dokibird's Birthday concert. I just wanted to send this to apologize if I bothered Dokibird or anyone else with all the replies and maybe some of my posts I made explaining that. Let me just say I'm really sorry if I did. And I never meant to bother Doki or anyone else. I was just really eager to see this one thing of my Oshi AmaLee/@LeeandLie going 3D and was really frustrated seeing how my U.S. debit card, the PayPal, and everything else I tried on the site SPWN didn't work. And after it didn't work, I ended up getting in trouble for it because I still got the charge from my bank which my parents showed me which put me in a slightly worse situation. Also, there was this watch-along thing this guy made of the Doki concert but sadly, it was nothing a dupe which also really sucked. When I made all those comments and replies talking about it, it was all I was able to do here on Twitter/X just like some others would usually do. I really hope I see somethings from AmaLee's 3D debut and if I don't or it doesn't show up until Christmas or the New Year, I'll do my best just to live with that and move on. But again, I am really Sorry to Doki and everyone else if I bothered them with all I posted and commented in regard to not being able to watch the concert. I don't expect to be forgiven but, I just want everyone to know that I have this sincere apology for whatever it is I did wrong with all of again, the replies and posts. 😔🙏 #DokiRewindTime #Dokibird #DokiBirthday2026

  The Biggest Banks On Earth Are Creating Their Own Digital Currencies. The future of money is being rewritten,and most people have no idea. Here is who is building their own digital currency: Bank of America. Goldman Sachs. Citi. Deutsche Bank. UBS. Barclays. TD Bank. Santander. All jointly exploring a digital currency pegged to G7 currencies on public blockchains. PayPal already launched PYUSD. Walmart and Amazon are reportedly exploring their own coins. Mastercard just bought a stablecoin startup for $1.8 billion. 20+ companies are in line to issue stablecoins through Anchorage Digital. Right now USDT and USDC control 94% of the stablecoin market — $260 billion combined. They built this space from nothing. But the banks coming for them manage TRILLIONS. Not billions. Trillions. So who wins? Tether and Circle have speed. First mover advantage. Crypto-native trust. But banks have regulation, infrastructure and the most powerful brand in finance — trust from your grandmother. Here is what this means for YOU: Sending money across borders? Seconds instead of days. Near zero fees instead of $45 wire charges. 24/7 settlement instead of waiting for Monday morning. Your bank account, your paycheck, your rent payment — all moving on blockchain rails within 3-5 years. You just won’t know it because it will feel exactly the same. The best technology is invisible. That is what is being built right now. The banks that laughed at crypto are now building it. The future of money is digital. solana:Es9vMFrzaCERmJfrF4H2FYD4KCoNkY11McCe8BenwNYB base:0x833589fcd6edb6e08f4c7c32d4f71b54bda02913

  A 19-YEAR-OLD GIRL IS PEELING AN ORANGE ON CAMERA. SHE JUST REVEALED HOW SHE BUILT A $12,000/MONTH SOFTWARE EMPIRE WITHOUT KNOWING HOW TO CODE. She tells her audience she has a side hustle that a 10-year-old could do. She shows a PayPal notification for $485. Her comments are full of people accusing her of selling a course. She isn't. She is running a micro-software empire from her bedroom. She goes to website, an AI coding platform. She asks it to generate 10 simple app ideas that solve boring, everyday problems. She picks one. A subscription tracker that finds and cancels forgotten gym memberships. She copies the idea and pastes it into the builder. The AI writes the entire backend, designs the user interface, and publishes the app. In 5 minutes. She puts a $2 paywall on it. She doesn't try to build the next Facebook. She doesn't hire expensive developers. She builds disposable, hyper-specific apps that solve one tiny problem. She has built 40 of these micro-apps. They sit on the internet like digital vending machines. Every day, people find them on Google. They pay $2 to cancel a subscription, track their plant watering schedule, or split a restaurant bill. She gets a PayPal notification. She clears $12,000 a month in pure passive income while eating an orange on TikTok. The internet is full of people spending 4 years learning how to code just to beg for a job at a tech company. She bypassed the entire tech industry. She doesn't want a job. She just lets the AI write the code, and she collects the tolls.

  So I found the place to sleep at 1:40 at night. Small resting place with the roof. I used the bench to lay down the sleeping bag and hide behind the table. Because on the other side there was a bigger road with the traffic. Time to time it was raining and at 4:20 something someone walked by with dogs and I got up. You can't sleep in the public when people start to walk by. It was cold and it started to rain again. I covered my body with a sleeping bag around me for over an hour before my body was ready to start moving. Then I made hot water to make a 3in1 and tactical food pack spicy noodle soup. Finally the sun was up and the energy went into my body to pack all the stuff. Now I'm writing the posts and warming myself with the sun. I'm ready to start moving and now I need to find a fuel station or Macdonald's to charge my powerbanks. I hope that one of my 25000mah powerbanks isn't broken and can be used again. I also need to find Lidl to recycle water bottles and buy new water. Still little tired but I hope to last one more day. I have no idea how far I will get today. Is it 20km or 80km or 120km. So it's hard to tell where I can stay. But I will constantly monitor the possibilities. And I need to wash my clothes. 58€ on my bank account and 15€ on PayPal. I hope that the bicycle keeps going without major issues. Although rear bike bags zippers are tiered and it is delicate job to get those bags closed. Still thinking about glass engraving and where to stay to make one. It all depends on the weather and the location. And I'm still little disappointed that YouTube algorithms and TikTok are not gaining enough followers. If I don't have more attention I won't have enough support and orders to continue the journey. I'm not sure I will get to Spain. So I reduced my goal to get to halfway at least. To 2500km entering France. Maybe I can keep going until my 40 birthday on 4th of August in France. But even for that I need to make some income. Like 520€ that I need to pay for debt payments before 22 of July. Otherwise my debt payments will be cancelled, my debt raises from 25000€ to 50000€ and my house will be taken away and sold forcefully with the small price. I tried to sell it before my journey but the co-owner stood against me. He told me he doesn't want me to sell this house and the price and conditions he offered where ridiculously low and bad for me. So let's continue!
