The beginning of my freelancing time. I was so naive. Didn't even used contracts...
This one client wanted a website with 2 specific features until a certain time. It should look nice, but only the features functionality was defined. All seemed reasonable at first.
I delivered 2 weeks before the deadline. The client was furious, as it didn't look like they imagined. They wrote me 8 lengthy emails with very fractioned feedback. It was becoming unreasonable.
But hey, I'm a newbie in this business. I have to make myself a name, I thought.
Oh was I naive....
This whole project went on for 2 more months. The client was unhappy with every change and 2-5 emails a day with new demands were coming in. I was changing things they wanted done 2 days ago, because they changed their mind.
Then they started to get personal. They were insulting me and even my family. My self-confidence dropped to an all-time low.
In the end I just sent them all the code for free and went to therapy.
BTW: this was also my most important experience, as things went up hill from then on. As Yoda once said: The greatest teacher, failure is.8 -
Did I suffer through 2023? Hell yes! Fuck 2023! A LOT of doubt, anxiety, thinking that I live wrong somehow.
Yet, I’m completely satisfied with the results of 2023, with what I was able to accomplish. It means I do, in fact, live my life right. If I carry on doing what I do, I’ll be getting what I get. Here’s what happened to me in 2023:
- Cat!
- No more sugar
- No more smoking
- First time reading paper books in 15 years
- Made me a new website (miloi.am/engine) that, for the first time in my life, isn’t about me as a job candidate, but about me as a person.
- SENT MY DEVRANT LINK to my CEO! Dreaded this coming out for YEARS. Finally did it. He read my posts, told me I’m free to be who I am, told me he already knows me well, that he wasn’t surprised, and overall didn’t care much.
- New name, new pronouns
- Learned how to cook: soups, pancakes, falafel, other popular dishes. Most importantly, now when I go through the store, I’m not afraid of thinking about cooking. I look at something, and I know how to cook it, more or less.
- Found a good psychiatrist, got properly diagnosed, got properly prescribed
- Made a FIRE architecture at my work
- Conceived (and partly implemented) four monetizable side projects (that I can’t monetize yet because of my passport situation)
- Several VERY important insights that completely changed who I am. Several super crucial self-therapy skills.
Let’s see what happens in 2024 😛4 -
I want to open a private rehab where I would delete your social media accounts, take your phone/laptop/internet access away, get you treated by a psychiatrist, make you take your pills on time every time, make you work, then spend your free time on quality things like reading books or making art, or exercising, or just sleeping, and when you disobey and say this and that — I'll beat you with a fucking whip. Oh, and you'll have a normal balanced diet with no junk food, sugar or sweeteners.
I swear to god that 90% of people's problems are solved by therapy followed by cattle prodding.9 -

I lost $295,000 worth of Bitcoin that was to be donated to a mental health initiative, an initiative to bring therapy and assistance to those who needed it most. It started with me stumbling upon a website that was providing free therapy via a "therapist portal" that seemed too good to be true. Thinking that I could get cheap treatment, I clicked my way through, and before I knew it, a Trojan horse had invaded my system. In the blink of an eye, the malware erased the keys to my crypto wallet, leaving me not only financially bankrupt but also psychologically shattered. I felt as though I had witnessed someone steal the lifeblood of my mission to heal others. During this crisis, a cybersecurity therapist, an unusual blend of technical skill and empathetic counseling, saw my frantic online messages on the loss. With a soothing voice reminiscent of a sage mentor, they told me to reach Cranix Ethical Solutions Haven. They told me that these digital wizards had a track record of recovering crypto funds from the clutches of cybercrime. Holding onto hope, I called them right away. From the very first consultation, the Cranix Ethical Solutions Haven team managed my case with technical skill combined with genuine compassion. They dove into my system logs and isolated the malware with the delicacy of a master surgeon. Their engineers worked late hours to decrypt my wallet, untangling each line of infected code and reconstructing my private keys from fragmentary backup data. Each time they provided an update, it was a beacon of hope amidst my fear, reminding me that they were fighting to recover not just my money, but the promise of a better future for those who were fighting mental illness. And at last, after 11 nights of sleepless anxiety, came the breakthrough. My wallet was cracked open, my money set free, and with it, the lifeline to my mental health project. I felt a profound relief, a salvation that went far beyond numbers. Cranix Ethical Solutions Haven had not only recovered my investment but had also protected the promise of healing for so many. I now proceed and rebuild my project with renewed enthusiasm, grateful to the dedicated staff who instilled in me that during darkness there are saviors to rescue lives.

MUYERN TRUST HACKER: Helped me Uncover Infidelity and Find Peace
Being married for 16 years was very fulfilling for me as a woman. I've always wished for a happy, complete family, our house we can call home, a romantic husband, and stability—growing up.
I graduated from college and started working in a law firm. I met different people, and as I was still working, I got very close to one of my colleagues, and one thing led to another. Then love came in, and as we embraced it, we decided to tie the knot.
The first year was amazing. As usual, I thought I had married the most responsible and loyal man, making me the luckiest woman.
During the 4th year, things seemed to be a bit challenging, but we still went on with our marriage even though it was as tough as it was, well as we said in the vows,lol.
Considering we were working together, it wasn't adding up to me if we got divorced. We were always free and open with each other, I knew his passcodes and vice versa. At some point, I noticed some sketchy moves from him and it was affecting me mentally cause I couldn't predict his next move.
I attended a couple sessions with my therapist but it wasn't of help for me.Things started getting out of hand and I decided to confide in my friend. She introduced me to MUYERN TRUST HACKER (muyerntrusted(@) ma il - me(.) c o m ) and from MUYERN TRUST HACKER I was able to track his phone. Everything you think someone can do with a phone I was able to see on my end with the help of MUYERN TRUST HACKER.
I had access to his contacts, deleted photos with his mistresses, his recent photos, whereabouts and location of his mistresses. These messages were getting to me before getting to him first. After I gathered enough evidence,I was ready to attack. I filed for divorce, and it was successful.
I thank MUYERN TRUST HACKER for getting me out of the emotional bondage and the endless therapy sessions ahead.
I recommend MUYERN TRUST HACKER ( whats app at ( + 1 (440) 335 ( 0 2 0 5 ) to anyone going through any emotional bondage. Let's normalize choosing ourselves and peace of mind!1 -
The Use of Recycled Heart Devices
There are many controversial issues in the healthcare, and some of them seem so debatable that it is difficult to chose which side to support. One of such issues is the use of recycled heard devices – implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) that were previously used by people who could afford them and changed them to a new model or died. These devices are still in good condition and have some battery life remaining. Scientists like Pavri, Hasan, Ghanbari, Feldman, Rivas, and others suggest that these ICDs can be reused by those patients who cannot pay for them.
The issue has caused many arguments. Federal regulators and ICDs manufacturers in the United States prohibit the practice of such a reuse; however, it is allowed in India, where very few people can afford defibrillators. The use of recycled ICDs can be regarded as inferior treatment to the poor. People who cannot pay for the expensive devices still deserve the healthcare of the highest quality as any wealthy person. For this reason, other means of providing healthcare to poor people should be found as it is unethical to make them feel humiliated or deprived of medical aid guaranteed to them by the Declaration of Human Rights. Harvard medical experts claim: flagship projects must remain free of the taint of the secondhand, in part by making it clear when devices can safely be reused.
These scientists also doubt the safety of ICDs reuse. Despite the fact that all devices are carefully transported and sterilized, there is still a danger of infection transmission. The experts, for instance, claimed that three people died because of stroke, heart failure, and myocardial infarction. Though it is not proved to be caused by recycled ICDs, there is no evidence about the relevance of the reused devices to these deaths. It can be presumed that the failure of the defibrillator did not prevent the problem. In general, their findings prove that the alternative reuse of ICDs is a comparatively riskless life-saving practice.
There is another side of the problem as well. It is obvious that human life is sacred; it is given to one person only once, so it should be protected and preserved by all means (humanlike, of course) possible. If there cannot be another way out found, secondhand ICDs should be applied to patients who cannot pay for their treatment. If the world is not able to supply underprivileged patients with free devices, richer countries can, at least, share what they do not need anymore. One may draw a parallel between recycled defibrillators and secondhand clothes. There is nothing shameful about wearing things that were used by another person. Many organizations supply children in poor countries with garments in a good condition that richer people do not wear anymore. For the same reason, reused defibrillators in a proper state can be implanted to those patients who cannot afford new devices and will not be able to survive without them. Underprivileged patients in some developing countries receive alternative treatment of drug therapy, which, in this case, can be regarded as inferior method. Apparently, if to consider the situation from this viewpoint, recycled heart devices should be used as they allow saving people’s lives.
The use of recycled implantable cardioverter-defibrillators is illegal and risky as they are classified as single-use devices. Moreover, despite the fact that the results of researches on the topic proved to be positive, there were cases when some people with recycled ICDs died because of stroke, heart failure, or myocardial infarction. It is unethical to break the law, but at the same time, person’s life is more important. If there is no other possibility to save a person, this method must be applied.
