Like standing at the base of El Cap.
You know it's possible.
You see others making it.
But most will walk away saying:
"Maybe next time"
There is no next time.

38 years ago, the prettiest girl in my high school said something nice to me.
It’s all I thought about for days.
And here I am—nearly four decades later—writing about it. We all have similar examples: words someone said that had a huge impact and are etched in our memories.
Wouldn’t it be cool to be the person who said those words?
Especially for your kids.
Here’s the thing:
You never know which words you say will stick. What you *can* control is the quantity.
Shots on goal.
Say lots of nice, thoughtful things to people—and mean them. Being that person for many others is a pretty cool legacy.
They just released the UAP files. officially. today
‣ not a leak. not a whistleblower
‣ the US Department of War. The White House. NASA. FBI. DOE. ODNI
‣ all coordinated. all on the record
your government called it a "conspiracy theory" for 70 years
‣ Roswell. The Nimitz encounter. AARO. AATIP
‣ every person who said "they're hiding something" was right
the release is on a "rolling basis"
‣ they're dropping the first batch to see how the public reacts
‣ before deciding how much more you're allowed to know
the question is no longer whether UAPs are real
‣ the US government just answered that
the real question:
‣ what they've known since 1947
‣ what they've built from it
‣ and why they chose to tell you right now
this is bigger than Watergate
most Americans will find out about this from a meme tomorrow.

Free parking for truckers at truck stops is disappearing in America
A company called Truck Parking Club launched an app that lets property owners of truck stops, warehouses and lots monetize their parking spots for truckers via reservations
Truckers must pay hourly, daily, weekly or even monthly for a spot to sleep or rest
The Co-founder and CEO is a man named Evan Shelley. He worked in real estate doing commercial deals and land flips before shifting to trucking parking
People like this are awful. Monetizing something our essential workers literally need to sleep at that’s always been free. This lot has been free for 50 years and now it’s paid
@Blake5874@eBay@CardPurchaser Looks like 1 to me are you blind ?
But seriously did homie look at it under a microscope and decided nope need to refund small crease.
@sweatystartup I’m sure in 10 years time robots will be able to fully work on cars made within that time frame but as far as working on cars from past decades or now theres no way… To many variables and problems
i watched a flight go from $483 to $547 in 24 hours WITHOUT a single seat selling
searched london to new york on a tuesday
$483
checked again 2 hours later
$512
next morning: $547
panicked and booked it
the guy sitting next to me paid $391
same seat, date + airline
$156 less
he searched once i searched 3 times
the algorithm saw me come back and charged me until i broke
the seat doesnt have a price
you have a price
and it goes up EVERY time you show interest
couldnt stop thinking about it so i tracked down someone who actually built pricing algorithms for a european carrier
asked him what happened to me
"you got profiled. the system assigned you an intent score after your second search and raised your ceiling every time you came back"
asked how to beat it
"most people think a VPN fixes it. thats 2015 advice. the algorithm fingerprints more than your IP now. it reads your device your browser your screen resolution your timezone. VPN to bucharest but your clock says london and your language is english? the algo knows youre faking and sometimes charges you more for trying"
"so what actually works?"
"you have to poison the entire profile. not just the location. the identity"
the protocol he gave me:
VPN AND match your timezone and language to the spoofed location. mismatched signals flag you and can trigger a price increase
use a fully clean browser. no history no saved passwords no google account. the algorithm fingerprints your session not just your cookies
one search one booking. the intent score activates on the second search. there is no safe way to look twice
book tuesday or wednesday 1-5am. lowest traffic means the least demand data for the algorithm to inflate against
if the price already spiked go dark for 72 hours minimum. not 24. the intent score on most carriers decays on a 3 day cycle. come back on a different device from a different network
"we spent $4 billion building these systems. theyre not going to lose to someone who opened an incognito tab"
$900 billion industry
the gap between what you pay and what the person next to you pays is not a bug
its the entire business model
stop letting an algorithm charge you for being predictable
