Anyone feeling bummed about this ad, not because it was bad but because they remember how much more fun it was back then, I just wanna say this.
It's not nostalgia. It honestly was more fun back then. It was more fun because:
- A lot less rules
- Pretty much everyone was anonymous unless you chose to tell people who you were
- Being able to connect and talk to people across the country and world without fear or judgement precisely BECAUSE you didn't know who anyone was.
- You could say just about anything you wanted, good or bad. A double edged sword.
Some of these things we flat out can't do anymore. The biggest one being the death of anonymity online.
Companies, Discord, Governments, games, AI, all of these things want your info. They want to know everything about you. To sell, to track, to keep in line and so on.
I've been on the internet for a long time. Not as long as some, but definitely over 20 years. My channel was made in '07 and I used the internet even before that. I remember when Google had a "videos" section from BEFORE they bought youtube.
It was so much better back then that it's not even funny.
A few weeks ago, I heard from some credible sources that we could see an attack on the US power grid
Last week, we saw multiple hacks and vulnerabilities
And today we’re seeing Japan, UK warn it’s citizens to stockpile food and water
The pentagon is “secretly” preparing for a 90 day outage
Do not wait for things get worse to act
Here’s a list of items you can buy to be prepared:
-$500-$2000 in cash (low denominations like $1, $5, $20)
- 2 weeks of drinking water per head in household
- large bag of beans and rice
- canned goods/MRE’s
- stove gas/propane tank
- emergency med kit
- alternative means of communication (ham radio, Garmin Inreach satellite messaging, meshtastic off grid texting)
- means of protection
- half a tank of gas minimum
-battery bank
- toilet paper (you remember what happened during covid)
- go bag if you need to leave your area in a pinch
- lighter/matches/fire starter
Bonus (nice to haves):
- starlink (may or may not work in this situation)
- solar panel + power station
- diesel heater
- coffee beans (great for barter if this goes for the long haul)
- mini axe
Most importantly: have a plan of action
For most people that means staying put and bunkering down in their homes. But for a select few, that could mean leaving your area and moving fast
The chances of this happening are probably 10% but it’s better to “have it and not need it” than “need it and not have it”
You can never truly prepare for something like this, but you can at least try
How is the internet less private than in 2006, when the whole family shared one computer?
Back then, the internet was weird, personal, and all of ours.
So, we got your favorite meme legends back together to say it louder: What happened to the internet? 1/3

Following the violent FBI apprehension of Navy veteran and homesteader Derek L. King over alleged "cyberstalking" charges, Status Coup's Michelle Dao speaks with King about how this happened. The full story began in 2023 when FLY Goodyear - a flight school miles away from his farm - decided to use his property as a designated mark for flight practices, leading to years of turbulent and threats to King's family and neighbors.
