saw this today and thought it might interest you. CBS has went through the released Epstein files and found how many were missing. interesting video explaining how they figured out what was missing and possible explanations for some of those files. but not all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQzMsqeOgEo

I feel like I shouldn’t hide where it came from as that’s sketchy.

Also I found it on Pinterest.

Whenever you see screenshots with rounded black borders, it’s usually from Pinterest.

The top was already partially cropped.

Decent amount of funny stuff on Pinterest, surprisingly.

Well it’s possible its something that happens occasionally but also possible the guy just made it up.

He seemed sincere. Clarified it was his brother’s ex gf. But they were dating at the time.

I applaud him for getting away with it for so long.

I thought you were implying I made up the story. I did not.

I definitely heard it from this guy at an air BNB.

Now I’m wondering if his other story was legit or he’s just good at selling a story.

The other good one was he went to vegas with buddies. Bachelor trip. They got henna tattoos out in some open area market. Tiger or something. Said it looked really good. But they Didn’t ask for the price before getting it. And then after it was done the woman wanted $1000. They refused. She called the police. They had to pay it on his credit card. And his gf back home is convinced he bought a prostitute or stripper for the charge on his card. Wouldn’t believe it was for a temporary tattoo.

Not possible. Unless same guy who told it to me posted it.

Unlikely.

I was told this story in late 2018 ish. Maybe 2019.

Guy was like 23 or 24. Pretty young. In town doing an apprenticeship. We were both there for a few weeks and I’d chat him up in the kitchen in the evenings and we’d share stories.

He had other stories but that was the most interesting.

I did tell this story to a comedian friend of mine (2020ish) who did use it in a amateur local standup routine. But tbh he’s not that good and I don’t think he posted a video of it or anything. I know he changed some of the details to make it more dramatic. But can’t recall what.

I believe you are correct.

I am not sure it’s a true story or not. Or maybe only partially true. Like there was a photo of a dead rabbit coveted in dirt. So that part about his cat with a dead rabbit was probably true and he added the rest for flavor.

But it was entertaining either way.

I have another story that I heard from a guy who was staying at the same air BNB as me. (It had multiple rooms that they rented out).

We were chatting in the kitchen and I told him I love to hear interesting people-stories. Especially bizarre ones.

Here is the story he told me.

His brother’s gf (age in the early 20s) had been hired by her professor to pet sit an old dog while the professor and her husband were in Europe for a week or two.

This young lass had been told the medium/large sized dog was old but otherwise seemed healthy.

A few days into this pet sitting gig, the dog unexpectedly died of unknown causes. But was old. So probably health problem.

She contacted the owners. She wasn’t sure what to do with their beloved pet dog’s body. Too big to fit in the freezer.

The owners asked her to have the dog cremated.

This young lass, being in the city and young did not have a car of her own. So she had to consider the best way to transport the dog and decided on putting the dog in a large rolling suitcase.

So she does this. And uses public transportation to get to the vet clinic that will have the dog cremated.

She heads out to her destination via public bus.

She gets off at her stop. Checks her phone to look at a map. Get her bearrings and such as she’s unfamiliar with where she is going.

As she is distracted, a thief sees an opportunity to rob this young lady of her medium/large suitcase.

Surely there must be something of value in such a large heavy suitcase.

She is unable to catch the person who stole it as she didn’t notice it had been lifted right away.

She then had to contact the owners again and inform them that someone stole their dogs corpse.

Then the guy telling me this story and I contemplated the fate of the suitcase, and the reaction of the theif after they hauled this suitcase a decent distance. Maybe all the way to their own place, only to unzip it and discover a dead dog.

Apparently I spoiled the story and spelled the book title wrong.

Honestly, I didn’t think many would get the reference. And also I completely forgot it was spelled differently.

Or the boat murders by hegseth

Yeah it’s definitely a big project but mostly just because of the number of files. And data storage.

And organizing the volunteers. You need more than one person on top. But due to the risk of bad actors infiltrating and deleting stuff, it also has to be done with redundant centralized collections.

For the few near the top, it’s going to almost be a full time job just to manage.

Plus It’s just too risky to have one person in charge. They could get hacked or something. And I’m certain once it gets traction the data set and users would be targeted.

I’ve already broken it down the main steps. It’s not that complex. Just need to develop guides and definitely consider some macros. Figure out workflows and security.

At the insurance company I worked in, the automated system first identified what type of human intervention was needed. For instance if the claim was for rental equipment, or a long term hospital stay , etc. And first just identified what it was. Then operators who specialized in those types of claims did them. Or would just work that type for the whole day. Then a different kind the next day.

It just helps you sift through things faster if you are doing one type at a time.

I’m not wholly against local machine learning algorithms going through the data. But I just think humans can do a better job. We see things and notice patterns better because we understand context. But maybe these automated services could be used to at least identify if the file is an email or interview or the format.

Running something like that would require machines.

Maybe putting this project idea out there will help inspire someone to make this happen. Someone with a lot more resources than I have.

This is something we (online community volunteers) could do.

I saw a YouTube video about “why do rich people want to dress poor”.

And I think the main take away was that poor people are more hip. So they think it makes them look cool.

And that ultimately they don’t want people to think they are snooty rich people because this makes them a target.

I have met rich kids at the last university I attended and I can say that rich kids are much more boring people. They have no interesting stories. No sage advice to share with classmates that came from a hardship or traumatic experience.

They are bland as fuck. And I think they know it.

A friend of mine used to call them “white bread/bred”

We are both white. But these type of people are like clueless to how the world works. No concept of being down and out.

For instance I had complained to a fellow student at said university that I was nervous about losing funding and how to afford rent and they said with complete sencerity…

"Dani, just get a credit card "

Like , how could I be so dumb?. Of course. Just get a credit card. Or better yet, have my parents get me one. I can’t believe I didn’t think of that.

But that’s a legit example of what I mean by being completely clueless. And this wasn’t some 18 year old. This was grad school. So another student in their mid to late 20s said this to me.

Might be high end fashion.

Really expensive clothes look like poor people clothes.

Like you spilled bleach in your shirt.

Idk.

Yep. That Steve Banon.

It’s hard to find the specific documents I’m referring to, but if my memory serves me, there was a description of drugs running through the house. And speculation they were being manufactured there. And women and very young women sex workers.

I believe the document was a police report. Or FBI report. It described reports by neighbors. Which is where the description of a man matching Steve Banon was.

Unfortunately I can’t easily locate it. I may have the city wrong, maybe not. but when I search “Epstein files Detroit” , all I get are results for an Epstein exibit in Detroit. If I come across the documents again, I’ll post a link or screen shot of them.

I remember other people commenting that it sounded like a description of Banon. And that the timeline fit with whatever he was going during those years.

This report was from a while back. Maybe early 2000s. I cant recall for sure but I don’t think it was recent.

It’s shitty that it’s so hard to navigate those files.

I had an idea when they came out, to create a community effort to organize and tag files with dates, type of document (police report, interview, internal FBI documents, email, etc). Who was corresponding or the author. Keywords. Like locations mentioned. Notable names. And of course the file number. And if other files were referenced or connected.

Could be done pretty easy with spreadsheets. And then you could make a fairly simple search engine to navigate the meta data assigned to each file.

Assign volunteers 10 documents at a time. Have a few trustworthy leads that compile the Excel sheets. Keep backups on external drives.

Would also help find all the duplicate files.

The sheer volume though requires a huge number of volunteers.

Assigned files need tracked to specific users (can assign IDs) so that if we get a troll or bot or someone intentionally fucking up the list, we can pull all of their assigned file data.

And have a few quality checkers pull random files from users to check for accuracy. Provide feedback and identify bad actors.

I used to work in insurance so I’m pretty sure I have an effecient and quality oriented approach. But again. The sheer number of volunteers needed to do this work is high.

Also need people to review files with high similarity of tag data to see if duplicate and verify.

Some of this could potentially be pre-reviewed with automated functions.

Maybe it’s cause it’s not really a meme. There are other communities for political humor.

I doubt Trump’s sex trafficking work ever stopped. If it did, it was just passed to someone else to manage because he got too busy playing golf and the dementia.

No one was arrested except one woman and his “dead” competition/partner.

Trump flew around in the lolita express jet during all of his presidential campaigns. I mean, common.

It never stopped. It’s still happening. Do people really think it was only Epstein’s island, ranch, and ny apartment? Only Epstein ?

There are already documents in the Epstein files saying there is another location in Ohio.

And mention of another man running a location who fits the description of Banon. (In Detroit?).

And that’s just the U.S. I guarantee sex work was running out of mara lago .

From a purely strategic position, I would guess another location in Tijuana near California or Mexico just south of Texas.

Somewhere easy for U.S citizens to get to. But away from inquisitive eyes. Somewhere easy to pay off the local LE.

the thing is. Until the files get released, we can only speculate. But the fact that they won’t is evidence to me that such operations are still occurring involving known people . Or at the very least were still occuring until very recently. Like the last 5 years.

Cause they cheat and still lose and assume the other person must have cheated more.

Sam, merry and pippin.

I got nothing else.
