L.T.W.A - Leo's Thriv With Autism

I call this post "hollow shell of a lost man".

When i hit 40 last year i entered into a phase or life called mid-life. For me this is hitting the floor before springing back up.

It's noticing im not 20 anymore. Injuries take a bit longer to heal and decisions i make have a stronger consequence than they had before. I had to give something i love.. rollercoasters. With a bad heart valve, and a condition called SVT, one ride could mean my last moment in life. I can't manage to stay awake as long as i used too. And i realized that according to medical literatures i have approximately just another 40 years or so and then thats it. It's a profound thought that for me made me check myself, And make changes.

Of course nothing is set in stone these are just guesses but its what i have yo account for. Just to give me some guidance and direction. I could last much longer or go to sleep tonight and that's all folks. Point i make is that no one knows.

This is why i said "hollow shell of a lost man". Because i feel lost. And i've been hollowed out almost to prepare for what many would call the second part to life.

I don't want to spend my last days in the future regretful that i didn't live. I didn't accomplish anything and that i was a life that came and went without a single impact to this world. The first man to go through life as a ghost. The world didn't know who he was. He left nothing behind.

Thats why i've been exhausting myself to the bones to expose myself. To be known. To make a difference even if only a little bit.

If things go my way i am beyond confident ill leave a legacy and impact that will go on way beyond after im gone. If they don't, then when my life leaves me ill just be forgotten.

What drives me and ive said this a million times already is that i went to leave absolutely everything i build for my nephew who is autistic too.

I would love to pay his college for him. Pay for his certifications on whatever he wants to study. Help him be a man much better than i ever was. And be happy and in peace that i can rest knowing the company is in good hands.

Nothing is ever for me. I hope to never have my name on anything as i rather be known as the kind stranger that made the world a better place.

Im a hollow shell and lost. But i hope to be found and full by when my time comes. 👍

This will scare you!

This very phone in your hand that you are using to read this message is monitoring you. Here is the data i have to show this. It blew me away.

How did Best Buy know i needed a specific light before i even looked it up?

It followed my search results. And gathered keywords from conversations.

Previously to searching in store for prices i did my homework online. Only place i looked this up was on google.

When i installed the best buy app it captured that shared data and when i opened it up and searched the keyword light it bought up one already discounted knowing usually my pattern is to search for discounts.

Curious i got in my car and went to a best buy further away. Saw the light and it didn't have a discount on it and was very expensive.

But best buy switched to digital labels instead of paper sticker labels. That same label i was looking at suddenly updated and had the discount on it.

The app actively tracking me pin pointed my location in a store and the stores computers dynamically switched it up.

Now im really curious i went to another store and again it was the same thing.

I didn't buy it. But at a test went home and gave it a little time but kept the app on the phone. I noticed it was doing something because my phone was always hot and battery drained fast.

So in talking to people on the phone i dropped keywords for different products. A few days later went to the store and saw these products actively change price right as im standing in front of them.

But here is the difference this time when i went to pay for the light best buy would only give me the discount if it was together with a laptop. It knew i had a strict budget so the staff guided me to a laptop that was open boxed and guess what? The price was in my range.

So not only did best buy make a profit off of me buy it doubled it by getting to buy 2 items instead of one.

I am the product myself. Because through my phone i create data points that these companies use to manipulate me and maximize their profits.

Just as they are more then likely doing with you too. They know our trigger points and what gets us over the threshold to make the purchase. Why because they have our fill profiled data.

They know your true ability to pay and how much
They know your patterns to wait you out with deals discounts to trap you in a sale you will not refuse.
Then they double profits and profit max on you by taking that pressure point and saying i know you want this product at this price with this discount and im giving it to you just as long as you buy this other product with it. You don't need that second product though. But no discount if you don't take it.

Ai has a way to take millions of dats points you freely give up online and weaponize it against you. Take full advantage of you. And make sure you are always broke by knowing exactly when you leave your house to buy anything it's already tracking your pin points knowing your on the move and ready to move on you as soon as you arrive at a store.

Im confident in this because it was done to me! And i saw the whole plan in action in front of my own two eyes.

All the more reason why im trying to smash this iphone on the ground. Im fed up and sick of being a lab rat being tested and studied. I want my privacy and my control back.

Bag of chips -$4.50 (not the big bag)

Beef jerk (small size) - $9

5 items - under $40 really??

Bag of rice - $10

Cost of meal items - $42 dollars how??

In total around 13 items total grocery bill $240 rounded out.

In comparison in 2008 these 13 items would of cost me at the very max 70 dollars.

Even worst news these numbers will not go down. They will either remain where they are or rise higher. But if im proven wrong thats a great thing because everyone wins.

Let this sink in! Are you able to tell me you're perfectly ok and happy and satisfied with your groceries you need to live tripling to quadrupling every few years?

Soon enough you will need to be a millionaire just to eat. Im sorry but that's BS!

As a tech pro. This saddens me. And it will only get much worse. Im picking up on this internally within the industry and its already in the works so it will happen it's just a matter of time.

Google is in process of taking over online security and companies are buying up their security solutions. Google says that due to the number of bots on the web they need to verify people that they are humans. This is a disguise. The real thing they want to do is invade and own more of your privacy.

They want to full complete the exact profile they already have of you. They want to do this by taking your biometrics. This includes a picture of you. Your voice and potentially your license. With this they know exactly your full address and your personal identifiable information.

They have already started side loading AI crap into everyone's personal computer quietly and without your consent in attempts to further pester you with ad's among other things.

This is why there is an on-going and growing movement within technical folks to de-google and this means remove every last thing google and all its services and never ever come back.

But because id this it is why they did what i mentioned above about security. Making sure that other companies and services do not allow you to use that product or service without authenticating and using google is how they force you to stay with them.

This is horse sh't. F'cking stupid and completely unjustified.

Yet this is all part of a plan for them to monitor you, monitor your habits. Monitor your entire life through all your online habits. They will know who you bank with. They already know all the files you upload to their cloud. They already hear and listen to your calls. They already monitor your text messages. They already know when you drive and where you are going.

People don't get it that all this personal data is a gold mind to companies like google to ensure you are never private anymore but the technology big brother always and forever will watch everything you do online.

Meta platforms already do this too. And so does apple. These companies have an interconnected network between them where they share all the data they have of you with one another to get you to spend money. To get you to click on things. To grab and steal your attention by creating a digital addiction you won't deny.

I begged and pleaded and fought for this f'cking bullsh't not to happen but i was fired, i was kicked to the curb. And told i didn't know what the living f'ck im talking about..

Well to the tech industry i say " You won everyone else but you will NEVER win me " f'ck you, you stupid pieces of sh't! And one day when your own tech goes rogue and ends everything i'll be the one laughing telling you " i told you so as'hole "

God im sick of these stupid tech giants.

These accounts i have deleted them.

Sub-stack
Bluesky
Patreon
Discord

Gave up my music service i used to get music for some videos and my other services i used for whats called b-roll footage.

All these are now gone.

Im still debating my buy me a coffee link. That might be the next one to go.

I had also deleted a facebook page i was messing with a few months back.

All these failed projects no longer exist. Deleted forever.

Im thinking about deleting my tech channel too. And might even consider the long form channel.

From a mental health standpoint this was the best option even if hurts ill get over it.

Its just the nature of it. Sometimes things fail and you have to know when to let it go. It's not that it's gone forever its just that the current versions of the projects failed so back the drawing table rework things than some time in the future bring out version 2.0

Can't post pictures anymore! Youtube is randomly taking my community post pictures and turning them into randomized Ai generated shorts i have no creative control over. All i can see is that people are viewing it but im locked from viewing it myself.

So for that im not posting up picture posts anymore. I don't like having my picture posts take as reference to a short i never created myself.

These random tests are bull crap when its not done with creator consent first.

For all i know the shorts could be generated way out of context and making me look bad. And i can't do a thing about.

Text only posts going forward.

Thought experiment. Picture this if you will. You wake up groggy. You didn't sleep well. And your clock didn't wake you up because the power went out over night resetting your clock. (If you said this is old school you're right, actual clock and not a phone).

But lucky you, your internal clock woke you up with enough time for a quick shower before you have to head to work. You jump in quickly jump out and get ready. You pick up your breakfast you already had and head out. You walk to work because the office is just a few blocks down from you. You pass by an old news stand thats been there for many years but it just really dawned on you today that it was there. It's old and full of torn flyers and such but you see a note saying they had to close it down due to lack of business.

You wonder but how? That is the street that never sleeps and always has high traffic of people walking. Lucky for you, you know the owner and they live close by so after work you walk over to them to have a chat.

You ask why they closed and the owner says that the sales dried up. He tried to introduce new items. He tried to even open an online portal to go digital. He could not reignite the revenue engine that he had. He said he felt invisible. The world walks by but acts like his stand wasn't there. Some faces he says he's seen many years going to and from and yet they never looked to the side to even say hello. His stand became invisible in a sea of people.

Going digital worked a little initially, but eventually it was like he was now in the middle of an even wider sea of people and still invisible.

He ran discounts. He ran deals. He want as far as free giveaways on the digital side to spur up excitement but failed.

He was going to close much sooner but friends and family said no don't it not looking at it from the business side. Not looking at it from a realist point of view. In business when money dries up and nothing works, thats it. Time to shut down for the last time. It's not a good bye forever but it is a ill see you later.

The owner said he sold the little that was left of the business name to a friend who said he would reincarnate the business in honor of his friend but its going to take time.

What would have said in this scenario? You did the right thing? Or , you should of keep the stand opened?

I for one would of said you gave it your best shot and it didn't work. Its not a reflection in you as much as it is a reflection of the world we live in today. You did the right thing by selling it off. It was s good run. And if your friend brings it back hopefully he can in a way that works for the world today. This way your name lives on longer than you expected.

I always ground my thinking in reality and not personally. And i think from a business mindset. If it doesn't work but you gave it your all maybe it had already run its course. It's a win not a loss. Maybe the new generation can be inspired by your story and business and bring up a new version of it. Who knows.

But im curious about you. How would you process this!
