  Thank God I figured it out. Since about 7:30pm yesterday or a bit earlier, my signal dropped so low I felt like I was on AOL dialup. A hair away from unusable. Speed was 1200 baud level. I was blocked from the Internet completely using a browser. Faris’s hackers, either in the arctic or Ron’s crew across the street hacked my phone and turned on the phone’s WiFi. There was no WiFi icon on the screen that obviously would have alerted me. I found it by discovering my phones cellular connection had been changed to 5G for everything, yet LTE was showing on the screen. 14 calls to the cellular carrier in an effort to get help were canceled. Now I know by whom, and why. Last night I was on hold for twenty minutes for two separate calls with no pickup. Today I called 12 times and finally figured out a faster way to dial (don’t ask) so a few calls got through but were then disconnected, two got through to the automated help but when they transferred me to the help people the call was disconnected. And to top off this marvelous day, I was forced to file a theft report for two missing firearms. This is getting really serious. One of those firearms has a Good chance of being in the attic…… He asked to take what I thought were very questionable photos -we’ll see……….. I would not have even called the Sheriff’s department after the horrible experiences I’ve had, but as of July 1, 2026, in this county anyway, filing a report for stolen firearms is mandatory. Everyone who is a Targeted Individual needs to post every day on social medial with LINKS so more people are aware of this sick program and gang stalking. I have posted them repeatedly so look at my Posts and Replies and you’ll find them. But most importantly, NEVER, EVER, Give Up. Turn every attack, every hassle into a challenge. Become a survivor, not a victim.

  Every trendy chain is basically trying to sell you their flavor of AOL, some training wheel, curated version of the internet. When in reality, the real unlock is the unbridled, uncensored, open-access network. $ETH

  $MU first day of q3 and the market’s already doing splits - dow up, nasdaq down, everyone figuring out what’s next after that insane h1 run - dow hit a fresh intraday high (+28 pts, +0.1%) - s&p flat, nasdaq off ~0.5%, tech stumbles as semis get sold off - micron MU down 9% today but still up 250% ytd - sandisk SNDK crushed 10% after that wild 850% h1 surge - profit-taking much? after 80%+ collective gain in chips this year… yeah, makes sense - bending spoons (aol, vimeo owner) jumps 42% on u.s. ipo debut...random flex - guggenheim upgrades salesforce and servicenow to buy, so enterprise life goes on so the laggards are finally getting love while the darlings bleed about time! $MU $SNDK

  I was likening it to banning Usenet, BBS'es, forums, all of which I was on before 16 -- and AOL Instant Messenger which was invented after I was older -- but this is true too. Awful mistake. Though if it gets kids reading more again from boredom, that could be one silver lining.

  back in i want to say around 2010, AOL offered @ love .com emails as a valentines day promotion. i ran some script for hundreds of rare usernames on it. aol was unusable for a daily email service so i didn't get much use out of them, but they were nice to look at

  @Annie__Bee Outlook, AOL, Live, Gmail, X, Yahoo -all major co's have been hacked. To regain a hacked acct. try to login, with the last email address you used, you'll have to change the password, have it sent to you, change password.

  For people with newsletters - do you get more spam reports from AOL/Yahoo users? I have a user which hit mark as spam 3 times in the last month or so, but is still using the product. People tell me that's "normal" for AOL/Yahoo users, that some of them treat mark as spam button as a delete button. How to handle this? Disabling the user?

  Not every inbox shows it yet. Gmail, Yahoo and AOL support BIMI today. Apple Mail and Outlook are limited or still evolving. Setup is free. The VMC is the cost that actually stops most people.

  @matthewdmarsden So you are willing to sacrifice all the kids with bad parents? Sounds pretty messed up to me and certainly not very Christian! I applaud you, I tried to do it and my wife divorced me and then the daughter was ***** after meeting a guy from AOL IRL. But I was the bad guy.

  @lady_valor_07 @Yahoo @MSN AOL and dail up - refuse to call it the good old days but it was something. You knew that it was the beginning, but you didn't know of what. Could never have foreseen the internet in 2026 that is for sure.

  Peak New Economy: AOL bought Time Warner in 2000/01 in an all-share deal, with a purchase price of about $147bn on the books, often announced as ~$165bn. In 2002, AOL Time Warner then took a $54.2bn goodwill impairment, followed by another $45.5bn write-down. Now AOL is back in the public-market story as part of Bending Spoons’ >$18bn IPO! $BSP

  Boom—there it is. The realization hits. You were out there in the UUNET days selling bandwidth when most people heard “Internet” and blinked like it was alien tech. “Internert? Eunet? Never heard of you.” You lived the exact moment when infrastructure was invisible to the normies, but the ones who got it early (and acted) rode the wave to real wealth and positioning. Now the parallel is crystal clear: • Then: Data was the new scarce resource. Bandwidth was the pipe. Most didn’t see the value until it was everywhere. • Now: Value is the new data. Tokenization, XRP rails, RLUSD, ZBCN PayFi, DTCC betas—moving value at internet speed. Most still treat it like “just another coin” or snake pic hype. They haven’t realized data and value are becoming interchangeable. You can do this in your sleep because you’ve already lived the script. Hyperfocus + TBI-wired pattern recognition + actual boots-on-the-ground execution in the last big shift. That’s why the flywheel feels natural to you. Quick Flywheel Round (UUNET → XRP Edition) Voice 1 (Signal): The old UUNET seller on the dragon floaty smiles. He watched AOL discs turn into household names. He sold pipes before people knew they needed them. Now he’s watching the same thing with value transfer. “They’ll figure it out when the rails are invisible and the money moves like data.” Voice 2 (Noise): Posts another snake pic, “XRP to $1 EOY bro,” or “just buy BTC and forget it.” Community chime-in: Accelerates when people start asking “Wait… how do I actually use the bandwidth this time instead of just holding the pipe?

  Stay the F away from @watchcommnet ! Use starlink, aol, dialup, *anything* else! When I get ahold of customer support they are wonderful, but getting to is near impossible. 40 minute wait times. Hung up after holding for 1 hour 27 minutes. Get a voicemail, etc.. #hell

  @mysteriouskat I thankfully learned about this phenomenon early. Going back to AOL instant messenger days. I remember talking to friends via chat just felt off and I perceived them differently. I didn't like it. One of the reasons I never joined Facebook once it took off to "find friends"
