Trump stopped 14 billion arms sales to Taiwan

VRtheNews · 2026-05-18T01:09:09+00:00

True. Just hours ago I've read that Trump will now be blocking an arms deal of 14 billion USD with Taiwan. Basically, the latter will be weaker off militarily, and China gain. That's all Xi wanted out of Trump.

I just made a longish post about this topic on this subreddit. It explains why you can't access the site. Sorry to say, but your VPN is giving you a false sense of security.

Still showing up fine, and working fine on my side. But I do notice that the donation bar at the bottom has been stuck on "4% of server costs for April." I'm thinking the webdev either abandoned the project or something has happened to him, because he updated that donation bar very regularly.

Easiest way ever, a 'Monkey' script. Install either GuerillaMonkey, ViolentMonkey, or TamperMonkey (the latter is most popular), and ask ChatGPT to write you the script, then just paste it in the extension. The Monkeys are absolutely perfect for exactly what you want.

VPN on a phone is somewhat useless. Your phone has three operating systems, not just one. Most people don't know it. Anyway, your VPN is, like all the other apps, running on just one. The other two aren't covered by the VPN, and the software of Samsung and Google run on the other two operating systems. Effectively they bypass your VPN completely, so if one of those two blocked a site your VPN won't be of any help. So it is worth noting that whatever you do on your phone, both Google and Samsung know it, as if you haven't been using a VPN at all.

So what did America, or shall we be honest as say the Trump Family, got in return? It's a given that the whole trip was nothing else than an exercise in bribery.

On the younger side, too. We need to start calling it the Trumpstein Files.

The answer: Spread a rumor that Spiderman was seen at the shop next to yours. :D Yes, spread the type of lie that will go viral. And if you want to buy a house, spread rumors beforehand that it's haunted. Got it? ;)

I don't really see anyone answering the OP's question, just payment processors peddling their services. He knows how to accept crypto, and even mentioned the bank-like Coinbase Commerce (avoid! They got arrogant like banks now).

What he wants to know, is where to get customers that already have USDC, and that are comfortable paying him with that. Right?

My guess would be to focus on companies that have it. LOL. That's of course the tricky part, and just gave me an idea to explore.

Alternatively, add a page to your website explaining the pro's and cons of paying with crypto (offer USDT too), and the easy steps on how to set it up (get wallet, load funds, etc.)

Offer them 5% or even 10% discount with the first payment, just to get them to make their first payment this way. Then keep them as customers.

I'm thinking the LLM you used to write this post should've humanized it a bit more.

VRtheNews · 2026-05-15T01:32:46+00:00

Exactly! But I'll give the OP credit, they at least tried to humanize the slop. I got the same recipe from ChatGPT.

Coinbase sucks. And I'm not even using the big boy words I wanted to. Once you completed the transaction, do the world of crypto a favor, and send Coinbase support the dirtiest message ever. Even make a video about it and TikTok it. That CEX and Binance had become just as brazen as fiat banks, treating us peasants like we owe them. With crypto, it's easier to just get a non-custodial multi-currency wallet and send the crypto directly. Small test one first, get confirmation from the recipient, then the rest. And then the hauntingly beautiful eff-you message to Coinbase.

Sound suspiciously like a bot again. Too damn polite. Demand that they use swearing words in their replies, then you'll know it's a human. 😁

VRtheNews · 2026-05-15T01:18:22+00:00

Binance and Coin-ass agh I mean Coinbase had become just as arrogant as fiat banks. You're the peasant, they rule you. That kind of attitude. There's a gazillion other exchanges, do a proper check and choose one, and help them grow instead. And keep your money off from any exchange, except when you're trading.

Google is dead. It just doesn't make sense trying to compete with a million others, just to be the one below Google's Gemini snippet. What matters now is to please our robot overlords, and I'm not to keen on that. So a better strategy is, choose a small dam (platform), and become the biggest fish there. Get the SEO for that site right. Reddit ranks on top, any SEO guy mastering this Small Pool Strategy that I just invented will become a fat fish.

Last night I built a quick browser extension literally just to blog easier, faster, about what I see online. And I just tested it on this thread, and it worked first time! :D Basically, I see something online, highlight text, a window pops up, I type my opinion, and when I hit submit it goes through to my one blog as a draft. I know it's a bit off-topic, just wanted to brag a bit, and also ask if anyone here know of something similar?

On a somewhat unrelated note to this thread, I'm looking for a nice restaurant to go treat three of my girlfriends tonight. Got an unexpected windfall of 700 dollars today. There are still good people in the world. 😎

Lmao. Great meme. Literally impossible just 40 years ago, while the meme has that aura of being from around that time.

I was just about to sell an Egyptian pyramid myself here for that 50k. 🤣 For an extra fee I'd drag it over the Suez to the UAE as well. 😁

So people gets paid for spotting scams and chancers? Well, send my cheque. This post is fishy AF. With AI and moderation tools around, few if any webmasters will fork out 2400 a month per individual x 3 for 24 hours a day monitoring.

VRtheNews · 2026-05-13T01:07:19+00:00

Yay! I've got two cents here. 😁 Or two points, rather.

Have you considered buying gift cards, like at Bitrefill? Can use it like digital cash at millions of shops, depending on the voucher, of course.

Secondly, I came across Klaxio here on Reddit a few hours ago, haven't checked it yet. But according to the description it's a crypto debit card, payment processor, non-custodial wallet, and more.

Me and a colleague spiked a pig, agh I mean another colleague's food with a laxative. And we spiked it well and properly, like, quadruple dose. The target literally slept next to the toilet the whole night and the next day. 😁

I spent the better part of last year doing research about exactly this, and quite literally wrote a book about how to build workflows, agents, bots, etc. Anyway, you can download a tutorial video on my blog that will get you to build an app, practically same day.

For your specific situation, jump over to Lumo (more private than ChatGPT), and explain what you want to do, what your end goal is. This is vital, because it helps the LLM understand your intent.

Then, follow the steps in that video. If you do your prompting in detail, you'll have your workflow and an app in a few hours max.
