- moot was fundraising for his VC backed startup during the years the emails are in, and he was likely connected via mutuals in USV or other firms. These meetings were clearly around him trying to solicit investment in his canv.as project.

- /pol/ was /new/ being returned; the ethos of the board had already existed for a long time and the decision to undo the deletion of /new/ was entirely unsurprising for denizens at the time, and was consistent with a concerted push moot was making for more transparency in the enforcement of rules on the site and fairness towards users who followed the rules. /pol/ didn't start a culture war at this time any more than /new/ had previously - it just existed as a relatively content-unmoderated platform for people to discuss earnestly what would get them banned elsewhere.

This is happening across a lot of web verticals that previously relied on excellent SEO ranking and click through performance to drive ad revenue/conversions/sales. I have direct knowledge of some fairly catastrophic metrics coming out of knowledge base businesses; it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest that something like Tailwind is suffering a similar fate.

How many tanks can you deploy? IFVs? Artillery? How much ammunition can you supply? How many fighters are in service and mission ready? Bombers? Tanker aircraft? Transport? Helicopters? How many battalions (of any type) can be formed/deployed?

If you have access (or have friends with access) to PitchBook, their file on WeWork would have comprehensive data about all the liquidity events.

There was a tender offer in 2017 with the first SoftBank investment, and again in early 2019 (pre IPO attempt, closed in April) associated with the second investment by SoftBank. It is possible there were earlier events, but I had joined in 2015.

That isn't to say things were roses; I know many early employees who, in the lead up to IPO, exercised their options and took enormous loans to pay AMT and were left in a terrible situation.

If you don't care for visual hallucinations, anywhere from 50-75 will give you a lot of the usually pleasant mental effects: high sense of novelty, mood elevation, curiosity, sense of openness, etc.

Even a smaller dose of 25-50 will give you perceivable mental effects.

You should also spend the bit of extra money on a reagent testing kit to ensure you aren't taking random research chemicals being passed off as LSD. You can keep the reagents in the fridge pretty much indefinitely for future use as well.
