He punched me back. Or he started it.
I think he can be our owner and publisher next. I like Mikey. I am wondering whether to be friends with Quintus on Facebook. I like the guy. But I don't know. I have a very bad case of complex PTSD. It's hard for me.
I have not been able to add any friends for years.
I sort of stabilized in 2025 Jan 25th, because Jacques removed the "cctv" camera that was staring at me. For like 30 years. And I stopped having flashbacks. I am sad I am pretty f***ing stupid.
It was like having a chart, on my wall, of different breeds of dogs, or a world map, where I can, essentially remember horrible child abuse 24/7.
I was lucky. I wasn't supposed to succeed in school. Or in Singapore uni. Or in the UK.I got tuition, so that's why I got good grades with 0 attendance. i had like 20% attendance. Because Armyne the owner knew my family, we had 8 - 10 kids in CIS. He was nice about it. Didn't expel me.
In Singapore, I was extremely stupid, so I failed my Financial Accounting. Until Valerie showed up and then I got A grades. Again, tuition.
And in UK, I was depressed, because PTSD starts acting up when you're under duress or stressed out. But I got extra help again, and the uni staff were friendly, and I exploited my friends to read my work and stuff.
And now, I am glad, the AngryPages business is sort of being accepted by the market, there's good demand, we're having a very real offering. Which is particularly great because Virtusa, WSO2 and Sysco Labs do nothing valuable for Sri Lanka. Virtusa and WSO2 are basically, I dunno what the f*** they are. Sanjiva retired. Kris is -- he's sold his stocks or something. They probably are software engineering companies who are basically Fiverr kids who write code. Easy for AI to replace. Sysco Labs is some food backend app, or something by Shanil Fernando. It's not going to help Sri Lanka. Besides some limited revenue.
AngryPages puts money, from the whole world, directly into people's pockets. We put $15 in a 10 year old girls' pocket, which is under her mom's name, because Tenali can't enter agreements with us.
Yes, we were previously, a 16+ platform, because we never allowed any porn. But then, because of Tenali, I was thinking, despite how the Jew haters weren't satisfied until Zuck was picked by Tom Cotton himself... I thought Tenali must be allowed, or my brand's worthless. Who are we? If we can't help a kid? We're nothing. It's no point. And it's also just sad. So we rewrote our own policies.
I'm happy I did that, anyone can write now.
And plus, in any bookstore, in the US, there's a kiddies section, and there's some area where they put that 50 Shades of Gray and then further back, the Playboy, and then, in the other room, the XXX stuff, it's how it is.
There's sex toys sold on Amazon, like how Jeff used to work in front of a porn store in Seattle from like day 1 with his broken legged, makeshift table.
I don't care. We have segmented off our content.
Gamini something else, tried to publish about a pornographer, I thought we can, but I delayed or said no. Because of ad network relations.
There's also "ai phobia" going loose. So we were worried about whether we can truly believe in "In AI We Trust" as our currency of confidence..
Because we rely on it, to classify or identify the UGC if it's harmful. Which I saw it doesn't. So I have to do some of it manually.
Sorry. F***. Uhh..
Yeah.
Those other 3 -4 companies don't do f*** all for Sri Lanka, besides I mean, maybe a few good jobs, which are FAR BELOW the $73,500 they'd have to pay up as minimum wages, or whatever, in the USA.
MAS is only supplying to US firms, they're a SL, they are earning salaries for 100,000 plus people which is all fine and dandy when stitching up lingerie.
It's a good business. The jungee business.
All of these nice mudalali will have to pay up kapang one day..
I gotta wet my beak.
But whatever. Umm..
Uber and their UberEats is doing great, they are earning mostly from SL, because it doesn't help a Sri Lankan earn anything from outside SL, besides from foreign tourists who will visit.
PickMe can't do anything outside SL either, they can only compete locally. Singapore's Grab failed overseas. They can't compete with Uber.
AngryPages helps people in SL put dollars and pounds and euros money in their pocket from right here in Sri Lanka.
