pt 2 draft 1 done.

i still need to do pt1, 1600 more. Did I mention I did this with thunderbird open, a pile of .eml files, and... hand transcribing it into obsidian in a way that kinda builds a wiki?

I am not looking forward to do that for twice as many emails as part 2, but hopefully by then I'll have it standardized enough that I can have other people do all the work for me instead.

I do not use my EVE Online skills much anymore, but wow, they aren't very rusty somehow when it's this much at stake, and also like... this much potential leverage to have journalists recant when it's obvious the entire narrative is people constantly escallating

the biggest thing I learned is that republican representatives can be swayed by like 30 2-person-deep front groups

I worked for a company that had at least 6 combinations of font size, weight, and color in their official 11-line email signature.

This was a digital marketing agency, which is the definition of Should Know Better. When they added a new Bold Red Text to list recent awards, my coworkers and I started added blink and marquee tags.

for a simulated libertarian hellscape filled with some of the weirdest people out there, eve online sure can prepare you for a lot of the bullshit you encounter out in the world and confer a lot of valuable skills there

it's the place you can iteratively make mistakes with relatively low cost to your actual self or reputation.

that's why it goes libertarian with the market politics.

It's also why it's the best way to learn how to operate under stress, run spies, or be a spy

but ngl the biggest use of the skills for me isn't any of this fun stuff, and instead, I knew every single cryptocurrency scam by name when they started dropping, because that's how new players make money, ten years ago :)

my friend and i have both agreed that our number 1 takeaway from our (extensive) experience with that game is that there is literally no bottom when it comes to human stupidity and ignorance. once you've been traumatized into speechlessness a few hundred times by the sheer astral-scale indolence of seemingly every person you encounter it finally starts to sink in and Now You Know Something About People

also, +1 to isk doubling scams

was this like unbacked margin buys?

one friend of mine, maybe the most prolific individual suicide ganker i know of, had a great thing going when they released the dockable player structures where he could constantly get people to take high collateral couriers to his astrahus and then bar docking rights to the public after they accepted ("it's night time now. the citizens of the station need their sleep. sorry no exceptions"). if he was asleep when they did it and lost the collateral he could almost always mail them and get them to go in three times as hard on another
