Welcome to The Hub. This is our welcoming tribe dedicated to introducing yourself, meeting new people, and learning about new tribes.
Happy 2026! Late last year, I published an audiobook version of my novel 'Land of the Losers'. If you like books but don't have the time to read, this one is meant for you. Check it out: www.the-niceguy.com/book/audiobook.html
Naturally, the e-book and hard-cover are also available: www.the-niceguy.com/book/

real damage
To clarify: his injuries were real, but not life-threatening. Had he not shot her, he'd have been the one to die instead.
@MentORPHEUS you never watched the footage, obviously.
He was in front. She actually hit him, but couldn't get up to speed to cause real damage thanks to his quick reactions. He was treated for internal bleeding for his injuries.

Story got sat on for years
By whom?
[crap about Israel]
I barely give 2 flying fucks whether they even exist. Irrelevant.
@Typo-MAGAshiv you'll never convince me the ice agent fired 2 shots through the driver window, to somehow protect himself from getting run into by a car now next to him. A preschool kid with toy cars knows better than this, how cars can and cannot move.
Imperial boomerang effect, coming home to use on Americans, brutal and dehumanizing techniques and mindsets refined on Palestinians. ICE gets training from IDF and uses Palantir surveillance and identification software.
Supporting ICE uncritically, requires compounded anti American beliefs, attitudes, and practices.
Yeah, big difference. Boosting a story that is factual and important is fine. Suppressing facts is not.
Look at the wider context and don't carelessly buy all in to the deliberate manipulation.
Story got sat on for years, and this fake investigator set to drop it, riiiight when Israel just so happens to be manipulating internal Iranian politics, and carving out a new fake country for their usage and benefit called Somaliland. Anti Somali and Muslim sentiment in the US population at this moment in time gives a 2 cylinder bang for their buck.
Take any book's advice with a grain of salt. Books are written by people, and people are flawed.
1) "48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene. Don't skip the intro. This book is mainly to prevent such shit from happening to you.
2) "How To Win Friends And Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. Some of it hasn't aged well (it's like 100 years old at this point), and some of the advice has been poorly implemented through overuse by sleazy salespeople ("pepper the conversation with the other person's name!" - I've talked to sales weasels who used my name so much, it was distracting! if I did a shot every time they said it, I'd be in the hospital!), but it's still useful. Just don't overdo it like too many do.
3) "No More Mr. NiceGuy" by Dr. Robert Glover. Managing your expectations and being assertive.
4) "When I Say No I Feel Guilty" by Dr. Manuel Smith. Assertiveness.
That's all that comes to mind at the moment. Good luck.
Read More@MentORPHEUS your whole status is full of lies
1) Calling a psychotic, fat dike what she is was isn't dehumanizing; it's accurately describing her. Just like when I call you a liar, it's not dehumanizing you, you liar.
2) she wasn't murdered. She attempted to murder that ICE agent by running him over, and got shot in self-defense. She'd still be alive if she had not tried that stunt.
3) I have a "serious question of core morality and character" for you: why do you keep lying?

IDK how much you know about Nick Shirley
The most important things to know about him:
1) he did the job the legacy lamestream media has been failing to do over the past couple of decades: investigative journalism on behalf of the people.
2) the legacy lamestream media, instead of trying to dig further into what he exposed, immediately set out to smear and discredit him in any way possible.
his IQ appears to hover around room temperature.
So what?
Elon Musk himself and others, artificially signal boosted the "Somali Fraud" piece,
So what?
And oh, kind of like how Twitter's previous owners artificially suppressed any discussion of Hunter Biden's laptop, covid and the vaccine, the results of the stolen 2020 election, and others?
Yeah, big difference. Boosting a story that is factual and important is fine. Suppressing facts is not.
Face it: your side not only lacks the moral high ground, it lacks a single moral leg to stand on.

I am going to join an executive position in the government, which books should I read to develop solid relationships with colleagues, juniors and superiors to climb the hierarchy with strong influence, connections and persuasion?
If I could name a movie with the closest to what I am looking for, it will be Schindler's List.
I live in a Southeast Asian country, so government positions can wield good power compared to the general population, but within the ministry/department, your seat can be volatile. Your influence and relations (especially with the higher chain of command) make a lot of impact on your career trajectory. I am joining the equivalent of the IRS/FBI in my country.
