@vxunderground I spent 15 years as a Cybersec practitioner. Burn-out is real. Take care of yourself, don't be afraid to step away for a little while.

Hello everyone, I see your DMs and stuff. I'm sorry I haven't replied. I've been experiencing a deep burn out. I have been struggling to juggle vx-underground, a 1 year old, and work. I under estimated the cognitive load a 1 year old would require, it is significantly more challenging than I initially anticipated. I am behind on basically everything. I am struggling to keep my head above water. I don't possess the energy to do much. Also, I've seen some people be like, "pffft, you THINK ONE KID IS HARD? Trying having N!". Okay pal, it's not a contest. I get it, you're cool and badass and I'm soft blooded. I'm trying my best. Anyway, sorry for all the slow stuff. I'll bounce back eventually, as I always have. Love you - smelly

@BasedMikeLee Yes. You can read my story here: react19.org/testimonials/i…

Were you harmed by the COVID vaccine?

@elonmusk Thank you for speaking up on this. I personally do suffer from side effects of the vaccine 5 years later.

The vaccine dosage was obviously too high and done too many times. I had the original Wuhan virus before there was any vaccine and it was much like any other cold/flu. Bad, but not terrible. But my second vaccine shot almost sent me to the hospital. Felt like I was dying.

@vxunderground Part of this is through stuff like Qwoted, which allows media outlets to ask for "experts" to comment on topics. I see lots of requests all the time for cybersecurity topics but rarely have time to respond.

I am genuinely impressed by mainstream media outlets ability to find absolute nobodies in cybersecurity. It's remarkable. I am often left speechless. There has been dozens occasions, especially as of recent, where some media outlet will be like, "Today as a special guest is world-renowned cybersecurity expert and ethical hacker Joe McCyberSecurity". I'm like, who the fuck is Joe McCybersecurity? I've been doing cybersecurity and malware stuff for a long time and I've never once seen or heard of Joe McCybersecurity. If he is world-renowned, I would THINK I would have seen them or heard of them. The camera then pans over to Joe McCybersecurity and it is the most generic cookie cutter white dude in a cheap suit and the tag below him will say something like, "Joe McCybersecurity, Ethical Hacker, CEO of Cybersecurity McJoe Industries" I'm like, "Cybersecurity McJoe Industries? What the fuck is that?". I look it up and it's a generic WordPress website hosted on GoDaddy with an expired SSL cert. Joe McCybersecurity then babbles incomprehensible nonsense for about 60 seconds until the TV host goes "woaw" and it cuts to a commercial. Absolute cinema.

Rest in peace good sir.

@vxunderground Waffle House is great - come for the food, stay for the free spontaneous MMA fights.

There is a restaurant in the United States called "Waffle House". Waffle House is notorious for it's poor customer service, history of violence breaking out in the restaurant, it being open primarily in dangerous areas, and it also being open during severe weather events. Waffle House is typically open during severe hurricanes and tornadic weather. The restaurants willingness to remain open during potentially life threatening weather has resulted in meteorologists creating a scale which measures weather severity based on whether or not Waffle House is open. Despite the restaurants poor reputation, it has a cult like following in the United States. People go to the restaurant expecting poor service because the restaurant is ridiculously affordable and the food is pretty good. One time I visited Waffle House with a friend. When we were waiting on our food the staff became frustrated with a customer who had locked themselves in the bathroom. Eventually one of the cooks busted down the door. They discovered the customer, a homeless looking person, was overdosing on narcotics on the floor. While eating our food, EMTs and police officers were performing CPR on the customer. Staff were arguing about the door being broken. Nobody eating seemed bothered by the situation unfolding. It was a surreal experience. This situation is not unique to me. If you take a moment of your time to lookup Waffle House footage online you'll see hundreds of videos depicting situations similar to mine. I recommend everyone visit Waffle House.
