* cracks knuckles * Okay so let's say, you've started making money from an illegal business. You earned $30, so you can have it in cash at your home and just use the cash to spend. Grocery, clothes, whatever. Now next month your business grows, and you got $1000 No problemo, you can still keep the cash. 12 months later, this is exponentially increasing and you now make $50,000 a month. Things are tricky. You can't hide sh*tloads of paper money at your home. What if there's a fire? You can't even spend it everywhere because tax people might be like WHAAAAT. So now.. you wanna show that YOU EARNED IT ETHICALLY. You want to pay the tax (lol it's ironic), so you can spend it. The whole idea is to show that $50K is from good sources, pay tax on it and spend it normally. So people..make shitty art and ask others to buy it. The customer pays them $100K and now they can say "hey i got the $100k from a black line on the canvas that's called modern art" They'll pay tax on $100K and voila, now it's real white money. Laundered money. Or washed money.
Can you give me an understandable example of money laundering? So say it’s a storefront that sells art but is actually money laundering. How does that work? What is actually happening?

We honestly DO NOT talk enough about how God will give you a completely ordinary day. No emergencies, no devastating phone calls, no chaos. Just peace. That alone is a blessing.

I figured out why so many adults are quietly depressed. For the first 20 years, our life ran on a curriculum. Pass this class, get into the next one. Finish the semester, a new one starts. Every level unlocked the next one automatically, and all you had to do was show up. Then you graduate, and suddenly nothing moves unless you move it. No syllabus, no next semester, no one telling you what level you’re on. You gotta create your own semesters. That’s freedom. And for most people, it’s paralyzing.

When I was in 12th, Physics was all about formula Now when I'm reading The Principia, I understand Physics is all about Philosophy

🚨💰Dynamic loot in the name of dynamic pricing. Exhibit 1: Flight from Bengaluru to Lucknow. November 15. Flight starts from ₹20,875/- per passenger. Exhibit 2: Flight from Lucknow to Bengaluru. November 15. Flight starts from ₹8384/- per passenger. If rising fuel prices is the reason for increase in air fare, then why the air fare of the Bengaluru-Lucknow flight is 2.5x more than Lucknow-Bengaluru? It’s the same distance! This is not “dynamic pricing”. This is DYNAMIC LOOT. It’s so sad that a lot of us can’t AFFORD to be with our families on Diwali.

We spend one third of our lives at workplace. It's okay to talk a little, have some fun and make friends! (If you're finishing your responsibilities in time)
A bunch of young girls sitting in the office, discussing clothes and jewellery. I’m this close to walking over and reminding them that they’re at work, not a kitty party. And no, it’s not about talking, nor is it about discussing clothes or jewellery. It’s about understanding that there’s a time and place for everything, and knowing how to conduct yourself accordingly. I get that there’s a festive vibe in the office, but it’s still an office. It’s this lack of situational awareness that frustrates me. Do what you like, talk about what you like, but have the basic sense to know when and where. And then we wonder why women in professional spaces are sometimes taken less seriously. 🙄

✨ Learning to write in public Day 7 ✨ This is mystical woo woo stuff But it keeps me grounded. So, I used to feel dejected when I'd try 5 different ideas and formats and nothing stuck I'd open the analytics everyday, hoping atleast one took off Until I had an epiphany Maybe it's not working out.. Because the universe only wants those posts to work out for me..that I can replicate. One time VIRALITY or growth only makes you feel more dejected down the line What if.. the virality will come but for a format or a process that I can replicate And I just have to try enough to reach that. This made me make sense of the slump more. Writing online is 30% writing and 70% being okay with few impressions even when you know you did good. Will see you tomorrow Cheers!

I feel so privileged after reading this. Privileged to have a job, home, food, water, everything I could ask for. But also privileged to be on this side of the internet, to be curious and learn new things, to be optimistic that I will surf the new AI era, and to have 5 different hustle ideas in my brain. And no, I am not saying that I DID THAT. It was the result of opportunities, my environment, my social media feeds, and the people I have been friends with and worked with. For all of that, I am grateful and incredibly privileged.
This hacker news thread is absolutely heart-breaking. Whoever thinks “humans will find a way” ought I read it.

✨ Learning to write in public ✨ Day 6 - Don't mention the emotion. Make them arrive to it, feel it, sense it through words Instead of saying "She is heartbroken after the breakup" Say.. "She still makes two cups of coffee in the morning" That's heartbreaking right? You conveyed she is heartbroken but you also broke our hearts a little by imagining that. That's the soul of your words. AI could never.

I have a friend whose stress tolerance absolutely marvels me, 100% a psychopath because no normal person could tolerate that much stress and not completely crumble, handles it all with charisma and swagger too, truly exceptional and definitely someone to look up to in that regard, I once asked him if there's any mental models he employs to just keep pushing through and he looked me dead in the eyes and said "When I see a storm, I just know I will ride that storm to the end, I am the storm rider"

✨ Learning to write in Public ✨ Day 5 - Don't become a victim of your perfection I was learning new stuff everyday yet I didn't post this series Because I didn't have a big enough lesson And today it hit me... Who decided the post format? Who decided if what I have wasn't enough? Me Prisoner of my own mind and perfection. So today's writing lesson is, it's ok to have one small thing to share. It doesn't have to be a thesis, something groundbreaking It can be as simple as this post which is ironically about why I didn't post! Will be back tomorrow with one more lesson This time... I promise.

The "First, something bad" took me out.
opus 5.5 just deleted my database always thought something like this would never happen to me luckily it was only my dev database, but it also had access to production just a reminder how important database backups are, especially now that we're letting ai agents do more and more things on their own i can totally see this happening to a lot of people be careful out there guys
