Leopold's Lucid Daydreams Diary

[Cash Bonus]

Good morning Maria and all,


If you don't really trust Facebook, the feeling just possibly is mutual.


Facebook is secretly rating how trustworthy you are giving each of their users a score - and people are comparing it to China's creepy social credit system.


Users get an actual score on a scale from zero to one that determines if they have a good or bad reputation — but it’s completely hidden from sight


You can read the whole story here:

So, what do you all think about this? I find it quite fascinating myself. Technology is really advancing very quickly and it's getting harder just to keep up with it.

...
I do no longer support Rewards Affiliates...

Leopold

Care to elaborate on this statement Leopold?!

[Roulette Zeitung]

As everyone should know in the meantime, on the contrary to 90%+ of all members I am not here only for the money, and most things for me are not about money only.

In my long life I learned, that politeness, decency and principles have a higher value than most other things in the long run.

The sentence you quoted was from this post:

My wife left the hospital last week on Friday.
She is still very sick.
She was in different hospitals for 111 days in a row.
That are 15 weeks and 6 days.
A very long time, right?!
I do no longer support Rewards Affiliates.

Unfortunately, you want it more detailed.

O.k., after dozens of support post everywhere on the forum, and after caring from time time also this thread here ( https://www.gpwa.org/forum/gimme-gim...ht-228683.html ), a support over years, it was my personal feeling, that at least a real private message or in this case without a doubt a post, which takes 2 minutes, would reflect the usual politeness and decency, my children have learned from my wife and me.

No one can say, it was a secret: https://www.gpwa.org/forum/leopolds-...tml#post886206

And because I am always straight, I wrote my opinion to that already on 30. May 2018:

As promised, I have answered everyone personal via PM who wrote a post here in my diary with respect to my absence or wrote me a PM.

Unfortunately, I cannot write something back to the "fearless leader", because there is nothing to reply. Also not to some other people, what is a little bit disappointing, and believe me, I have checked their last online activity here for not being unfair to some of them.

But this disappointment is really insignificant compared to my inner pain. I draw my conclusion out of it and that's it.

And waiting 80 (in words eighty) before stopping the support, 80 more days for at least a two-line mention here, latest after the announcement of my wife's return to home, is this too much asked?

And no one can tell me, that one reads a newspaper over so a long time and writing comments also from time to time, giving thanks to different writers, that at once exactly at that period the reading at that newspaper stops but not with other newspapers in the same house with the exception if I write "I do no longer support Rewards Affiliates", and at once there is a reaction?

Don't get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with the program. It's obviously a fine program, and both are probably fine ladies, but personally I am disappointed, and that's my perfect good right.

Thanks for clarifying Leopold.

Hope your wife and you are able to sail calmer waters soon.

Part 2 of the Lapalingo Deception on Monday.
I promise.

But before that day three short crispy news with a terrific view over the GPWA sponsors and a honorary sponsor, respectively.

The Quasar Theft

The shady Black Hat SEO artists now finally became a theft-machine. Stealing all commissions from all player almost from the whole world.

The brutal theft starts in one week.

Only player commissions from Antarctica and Kamchatka will be paid in the future.


The Income Access Disgrace

Since almost 4 weeks now the "AffPower" thread is "in the mod que for further clarification and review".

They need a long time for that review, right?!

Especially under the view of the fact, that GPWA got the clarification already 4 weeks ago, and this must be the reason, why the thread is still closed to protect AffPower's best friends.

I am now more convinced then ever before, that Income Access ordered the closure. What a disgrace and a disservice for both, GPWA and Income Access.

Perhaps I should offer $5 extra cash to the magnificent CCM to re-open the case, so that this unintentionally hilarious and disgraceful situation is no longer half-Click away from a public relation meltdown, because the esteemed audience does not consists of idiots.


The Condor Bust

The vultures of bankruptcy hovering over Condor Affiliates. Reports are rising, that the GPWA serial spam wackos (most lunatic spam posts ever on GPWA from a non-sponsor program within 72 hours) are short of money again, not paying commission.

This time, they hopefully cannot convince the "fearless leader" to play the evidence free attorney once again, because the last show was really a complete disaster. Giving high-five booth-to-booth is not enough. No winner on both sides.

So, these were three short crispy news from the wonderful world of the self-proclaimed do-gooders.

Dear Leopold, I hope and pray that everything will turn out to be alright for you and your wife through this difficult time and affliction.

[Roulette Zeitung]

To all the representatives, working for the crooked programs:

NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TO WORK FOR THAT PROGRAMS!

YOU ARE NOT FORCED PROSTITUTES!

IF YOU ARE NOT A LOW LIFE, THEN YOU'll FIND AN ALTERNATIVE!

FIND A GOOD JOB OR LEAVE THE INDUSTRY!

Because in my opinion after 21 years watching this industry you are a disgrace to this industry and a danger to the general reputation of the honest and good people here, which are working hard for their affiliates at the fine programs and should be protected by all of us by all available means.

Leopold

[CarmelS]

Hey Leopold,

Glad to hear your wife is back home, hopefully she will start feeling better now that she is back there and not running from hospital to hospital.

Will keep her in my thoughts...

[Roulette Zeitung]

+++ ADDENDUM +++

A statement from Carmel, one of the best in this industry and with character, regarding the Quasar incident, quoted from the Quasar incident thread. Simply one you can trust:

"Unfortunately, employees have 2 choices to choose from in cases like this - 1 push the employer's agenda and hope the backlash will not be too bad or 2 refuse to be part of this sort of thing and go their own way. I can confirm myself, as Lionel knows too, that it's not an easy choice to make for an Affiliate Manager. We realise when management decisions are made with the only intention to screw affiliates, and most of the time have no say in these decisions, but its not that easy either to just walk away from a relatively good paying job, on a matter of principle, without having another alternative especially if one has a family and many other commitments."

A comment to this statement here in this diary, so no one can "moderate" it due to "off-topic" reasons. Yes, I am sorry, but my trust level into GPWA is also at an all-time-low.

Comment: My problem is, that many actions from programs and so by their representatives are at the brink of crimes. Here in Germany many programs would face criminal charges for what they are doing and also the representatives. It is simply too much, what happened in the last years, and the corruption is at a level, where webmaster with respect to new but also older programs no longer asking, "What can they do for me?" but "What can they do to me?".

I know the "family" and "commitments" problem, but on the other side, webmasters have also a family and commitments, and they will be defrauded by the programs and so by their representatives. As a result their existence is also in jeopardy, with the difference, they did nothing wrong, are just victims, and no one cares about them in most cases.

Again: In many countries these programs and their representatives, who are the executive body, would face criminal charges for all of this actions over the last decades.

This is the reason, why program owners are hiding their identities in offshore mailboxes and also the representatives working almost anonymous without a public home or working address, despite the fact, that they working in a quasi financial sector. The reason is very simple: It is almost impossible for players and webmaster to sue them or to bring them behind bars.

All this happens with intent.

And this is the reason, why after more than two decades I am fed up with this "legal" fraud, including representatives, who - with intent - cheating, lying, deceiving also on public places like here, and most of them later are doing so, as if this is complete normal. Most of them obviously don't care, if they put many of their webmaster, who have also families, in financial jeopardy.

This is simply shabby.

Leopold

[CarmelS]

Don't get me wrong, I'm in no way justifying these decisions, especially because as you say, affiliates are the ones who ultimately suffer from them. But having been on the other end of the stick, just wanted to say it's not that easy to up and go when management makes a decision which is "unfair"

[Triple7]

It is like when as kids or youngster "friends" are starting to steal or deal drugs or whatever. You can stick with them or not. In the first case you're part of their criminal behaviour, in the second part not.

[Roulette Zeitung]

But obviously they sent the bad news out as late as possible, weeks later, intentionally!

First of all, I hope your wife's surgery is successful and I do keep your both in my thoughts. I consider you a friend and I am concerned for you and your wife's well-being.

It's great hearing the good news about your wife and wishing only for good news in the future

I cross my fingers for your wife. You will kiss him for me.

I hope she will be able to rest at home. Sometimes just having familiar things around you can help you feel a bit better.

111 days in a row in a hospital is very long. Sometimes it's better at home than in a hospital. I hope she will feel better at home!

I hope that she will get well soon. "When you are at home, even the walls help you."

Hope your wife and you are able to sail calmer waters soon.

I hope and pray that everything will turn out to be alright for you and your wife through this difficult time and affliction.

Glad to hear your wife is back home, hopefully she will start feeling better now that she is back there and not running from hospital to hospital. Will keep her in my thoughts...

This are wishes from the last couple of weeks aside the earlier ones which I already printed out and showed my wife. The same with this statements some minutes ago. I also printed out PM's, because my wife and I we have almost no secrets to each other.

She would like to thank everyone, and she meant it serious.

And I am glad to give a spotlight on our today's special guest here in the forum:

I really need to learn German. It's such a beautiful language and it's got me intrigued

Have a safe and lovely weekend everyone. Until next week...

[Roulette Zeitung]

"I really need to learn German. It's such a beautiful language and it's got me intrigued"

Yes, it's the language of the poets and philosophers. Many words are so unique, that they cannot be translated into other languages, and the possibilities of neologism are just wonderful.

Unfortunately, in my country the education is no longer rising. Too much low IQ German beatniks on the streets, some of them also in this industry, and to be honest, the massive immigration is also not very helpful, because many of them also after decades refuse to accept the German culture and don't speak properly our language on the contrary to immigrants from Asia e.g. from Vietnam or China, who have a very high education level and are more philanthropic.

You guys have to check this YouTube video out. It's really cool and fascinating. How far technology has come.

The video is about a robot dog named Aibo and he was made by the company, Sony.

Here's the YouTube video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGo0TwNXXuo

The duration of the video is very short (just a little over 4 minutes long), but you'll be amazed at what you'll see and learn.

I hope you will all enjoy!

Why do I get a headache when I haven’t had my coffee? Caffeine is our favourite drug. But if we miss out on our start of the day, it can be a real headache. in more ways than one…

“It’s mostly the people that take a large amount of coffee, that then stop. It’s been proven that even those people that have one cup of tea every morning, every day, it’s part of there morning habit, if they are to miss out for only a day or two they would feel it later on.” – Professor of Medicine, Merlin Thomas from Monash University joined Darren on Weekend Wakeup where you can find the full story and video at this link:

https://www.6pr.com.au/podcast/why-d...had-my-coffee/

Sometimes, I get severe throbbing headaches if I don't drink coffee or not enough of it. It can be quite debilitating and it interferes with your daily life.

My opinion on "John McCain (RIP)" thread from the "Chatter Box" area

Quote: "Trumpers will not forgive him."

This is correct, because his shady role in the handling of the fake Trump-Russia Steel Dossier, paid by Hillary Clinton. which lead to the Russia-Collusion hoax and Mueller investigation, a witch hunt without a shred of evidence after almost 2 years, but has destroyed many families, this can not be forgiven.

Everyone, who has read his book "The Restless Wave", should know, how bad he was for his country in reality in the last years. If I am honest, the death of Mollie Tibbetts is 1,000 times more sad to me.

McCain with all his bad moves was part of the efforts to overthrow the election, because his hate was bigger than his allegedly patriotism for his country.

And while we are at that:



They go so far, that President Trump is excluded from John McCain's funeral service.

What's wrong with that people?
So much hate?!

If someone spreads so much hate over the last years and is at least indirectly part of the biggest Coup d'État conspiracy since the "Big Event" in Dallas, at least an open supporter of it, despite better knowledge, then I am sorry, but I cannot feel anything for such a person, because what he did was not only wrong. It helped to put the safety of innocent people into danger.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is the first White House Press Secretary ever in history, which needs Secret Service protection!

That says it all.

Hi Maria and all,

I hope you all had a terrific weekend?

I just want to start off the week with some inspirational quotes. Some of these quotes really speak volumes and have a positive effect on those people who are willing to make some good changes for themselves and in the world.

There are 35 quotes in total and they are all accompanied by beautiful and vivid pictures.

The site link is: https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/hea...uotes/?slide=1

I have found that it motivates me and makes me feel a little better about myself and also about life in general. I hope it will also do the same for you when you start reading through them.

I hope you will like them.
