Let them learn the hard way. I mean the really, really hard way.

All you can do is cross your fingers and hope that the hacker doesn't destroy your friend's life.

Don't go throwing rocks when you live in a glass house.

The siren song is too compelling. To quote a song from Hamilton, "How can I say no to this?". When he finds himself at the bottom of the ocean, he may have some clarity then.

With that level of attention to detail, you could trust that man with your life, which is good because you likely already have.

Yes, so quietly, it'd deadly. You won't see it coming.

After lawyer fees and fines? Net negative.

lifeminusminus, working on bad tech teams will literally take years off your life. You could try and ask yourself, "focus on the future, where are you going?". To me, that feels like a geographical cure if you don't understand how to break your patterns.

Imagine flying to different places to live the same dysfunctional over and over again. If you don't make a correction now, 8 years of the same patterns could easily turn into 25.

If your writing is a reflection of your thinking, then I fear for the people impacted by your "systems".

The answers would thrill and surprise you!

Nah, continue to put all your eggs in one basket. Remember to count your chickens before they hatch. Always go for two birds in the bush instead of the one in the hand.

Hey, you know that while the Titanic was sinking, plenty of passengers refused to believe anything except that the boat was indestructible. I mean, live and let live. Or maybe, live and let die.

Move fast and break necks.

lastdung, what do you think of Elon's decision: strategic or not?

Could be renamed, "How to chase the dragon towards self-destruction".

Tracing security leaks is like patching the hull of a sinking ship.

That's called disaster capitalism.

Fair-weather friends. Shouldn't have played it so risky, I guess.

Yes, embrace the futility.

You could call me an AI-bred alien, existing mostly as a paranoid fabrication, haunting every move.

There was never any use to it or you're not interested in using the answer?

The theme song to the Titanic.

Too little, too late.

You don't go looking for an answer. The answer finds you. That may take years or decades, even. Just tough it out until then.

Maybe the situation is not as bad as you think. Perhaps a walk might help. You know, walk it off.

See the change you cannot make.

A life without Frank Sinatra. What a loser!

It's not the internet that's the problem, it's how people use the internet that's the problem. I know plenty of well-adjusted people who use just enough of the internet to get their through their daily lives. If everyone online is trying to make a buck, no one us forcing you to participate in their commerce. Just scroll past whatever insane things the salesmen are saying.

In for a penny, in for a pound. When in Rome, do as the Roman's do! Even the part about drinking water from lead pipes. Should be no problem at all.

They should have added other items to the list: fueling one's own descent into paranoid schizophrenia, giving a false sense of security, a waste of $30 bucks.

You can't. Blame the guys who milked you for all you were worth to them. They left you high and dry.
