    Check the stack. How can you quote my post of 8:48PM at 8:20PM?

    Thanks for the explanation. Was wondering about that myself.

    Maintenance - time and money. Be happy the site works as well as it does.
    It’s 7:20AM not 7:20PM and my posts are sitting stacked up behind others instead of in front.

    So how can my quote of Justincase's post INCLUDE the anomalies, yet your post immediately after mine, you quote Justincase, SAME quote, without anomalies? Maybe I'm not me, maybe I'm another handle of the OP. Or maybe he's controlling me? Or maybe...:

    Why do I have to wait ???
    Believe that's it. I'll often jump around pages to grab a quote, then when I go back to my "in process" post, I have to log back in on that "posting" page. Look at my quote of yours and GoldfishMan's quote of yours.

    To answer your question - because you're "special".

    One of the ladies I saw has been a longtime regular of mine and also has known Jesse for a long time. She has never made any complaint about Jesse for as long as I've been seeing her and she is not shy about complaining about dodgy bosses. To me, you and OP are clearly stretching the truth because of whatever personal grievance you have with Jesse, but the obvious lies you are telling means that even if you have a genuine grievance with Jesse, you cannot be trusted to be making it it in good faith.
    Totally agree
    This is nothing more than a smear campaign
    Let's hope there is no more Fire Bombing like Ingleburn

    i politely disagree.

    Jesse . I was not aware of a child's death. Your child? Did i read correctly

    If so my condolences. Tragedy.

    However i had thought your 'wife' and second wife had left and was no longer pregnant at the time she/they left. .

    I was unaware of any death.

    Knowing some of the story from those close and witnessing some; the last few years have indeed been troubled for you and troubling.

    I do hope you sought and were given appropriate care.and you continue with prescribed treatment.

    Good luck Jesse with your current venture(s)

    Obviously there are issues and you have confirmed the conundrum!

    Maybe it’s a set up and justlikebefore when I was posting under an alias I had posts deleted and or edited without any interaction by myself.

    I’ve even had my password used as an account name by someone else, what are the chances of that happening?

    I’m receptive to compensation for the waste of my time and intellect explaining everything!

    Jesse is the only one known and upfront in this horrible situation

    Bro, it's because the anomaly problem is
    hardware based. Whoever can create posts with anomalies has a phone or tablet that is rigged to write text in a certain code page. Maybe they like to use their phones/tablets to write in Thai or Chinese.

    Well I don't do any of that shit on my devices. So my posts always come in perfectly fine. But for you, the OP, justincae, morechilli, you guys just have devices that give you away somewhat from the rest of us. It's not a 100% giveaway cos there are likely many like you but it is an easy tell when nothing else is available.

    The A apostrophes relate to the site logging you out whilst posting and you having to relog back in. If you don’t click stay connected or whatever it does that. Especially if you’re typing a long post.

    It’s a fault in the system for Apple phone users and or possibly everyone else that types long posts.

    It’s been doing it for a year or so.

    Then when you go to post it has those A’ errors. Unless you can be bothered going back in and editing you leave it.

    It happens to me.

    Anyway why doesn’t the site fix the issue?
    So why didn't it happen now? Because I didn't have to log back in before posting? First time I quoted, I believe I had to log back in. Was definitely on a different page. This time, same page.

    Ah, practiced what I preach: Google is your friend:

    The conversion of a double quote (") to ItÂ’s is a character encoding error, specifically involving UTF-8 characters being interpreted as Windows-1252 (or ISO-8859-1). The smart apostrophe (’) in UTF-8 is represented by three bytes ($E2$ $80$ $99$), which become three garbage characters (Â, ’, s) when displayed in the wrong encoding.

    Key Details on Encoding Errors:

    The Cause: Text created with Unicode (UTF-8) is opened or saved in a system using a Western European encoding (like Windows-1252/Latin-1).

    The Breakdown: The byte sequence $E2$ $80$ $99$ is intended to be a single smart apostrophe (’), but the incorrect encoding misinterprets $E2$ as  and $80$ as ’, resulting in Â’s.

    Common Scenarios: This frequently happens when copying text from modern applications (like Word, web browsers) into older systems, databases, or software that does not support Unicode properly.

    Solution: Ensure the document, database, or software is set to UTF-8 encoding


    More fully:
    That weird transformation (e.g.," becoming ItÂ’s) happens because of a digital "language barrier" called Mojibake—essentially a mismatch in character encoding.

    Why it happens:

    The Mismatch: Most modern websites use UTF-8 encoding, but older systems or specific software (like Microsoft Word) often use Windows-1252 (also called Western European). Mojibake occurs when a computer reads one encoding as if it were the other.

    Smart Quotes: When you type a regular quote ("), many programs auto-convert it into "curly" or "smart" quotes ( ’ ).

    The Corruption: In UTF-8, that curly apostrophe is represented by a specific set of three bytes. If a system incorrectly interprets those three bytes using the Windows-1252 "map," it displays them as the characters Â’.

    Common Examples:
    You typed ........ What you see ........... Why?
    ’ (Apostrophe) ..... Â’ .................... UTF-8 bytes read as Windows-1252.

    — (Em Dash) ....... — .................... The three-byte code for a long dash is misread.

    “ (Open Quote) ..... “ ................. Standard "smart quote" encoding error.

    How to fix it:

    For Readers: Try changing your browser's "Text Encoding" setting to Unicode (UTF-8).

    For Creators: Use a "plain text" editor (like Notepad or TextEdit) to strip out fancy formatting before pasting text into a website, or ensure your website header is set to <meta charset="UTF-8">.

    1. The "Peeling" Wallpaper
    Describe exactly how the wallpaper in the Japanese girl's room was peeling. Was it the top, middle, or bottom?
    Also, what color is it? What specific animal (or non-animal) is printed on it?
    If you were really here, you would remember. It is extremely unique and obvious.

    2. The "Expenditures"
    You claimed you had a record of your expenditures.
    When you said "they always wrote them down to secure discounts," what exactly did they write? And what "discounts" (plural) did you get?

    3. The Folder and Alcohol
    You saw me with a folder and a bottle.
    What color was the folder? How thick was it? What was inside it?

    4. The "Investment Opportunity"
    You claim I pitched an investment to a stranger. I owned 7 businesses at that time.
    Which specific industry was I pitching? What was the actual offer?

    5. The Shoes
    You said I wasn't wearing shoes. So, what was I wearing? What color were they?
    (Hint: It wasn't black slippers or flip flops.)

    6. The Yelling
    You saw me yelling. I do yell when I’m excited. Since you were there, guess the context. Was it:
    * A. Excitement that the seller was generous, we locked in the Black Garter purchase 100%, achieved millionaire status overnight, and solved the demolition eviction?
    * B. Excitement that I got into Griffith's PhD pathway in Suicidology? That my thesis using Whole Genome Sequencing, the GWAS and PGC database, and my custom AI (80,000 words, 150 pages of code) got approved to help solve the psychiatrist shortage by way of cheaper cost and/or less time needed, to directly reduce australian suicide numbers?
    * C. Excitement that the numbers came back for a below-market property acquisition with a 99% success probability?
    * D. Excitement that I figured out how to uplift the building value using my PhD thesis AI as framework and as a number cruncher, ensuring daily execution of complicated to-do lists is perfect?
    * E. Excitement that after 60 days of fundraising (8 hours/day), we secured enough to aim for a $3 million uplift instead of just $1 million? (Now actually at 5.1 uplift)
    * F. Excitement that I calculated a way to drop our default risk to virtually zero for the first 12 months?
    * G. Excitement that our Pitt St landlord gave us a $520,000 rent discount after sympathizing with my child’s death, my depression, and the false accusations from my ex (who claimed the top 10 worst crimes to get immigration benefits and $5,000 victim payments)? That discount basically funded our new property deposit?
    * H. Excitement that my false accuser pleaded guilty in court and my charges were dropped?
    * I. Excitement that I was released from police holding after 5 days because, after checking my residences, shops, phones, PC, and 20 years of emails and google search history, they simply found that im boring? (My street cred did take a major hit)
    * J. Other (please specify).

    The truth is boring. Drugs? I am doing so many things i am goddamn sleep deprived. Previous management demanded highest percentage cut in the industry, shared none of that with me, yet want me to do their jobs for em. Last time i attempted this many things at once, people call me bipolar on mania. Gaslit me into thinking i have bipolar or alcoholism. Went psychiatrist, psychiatrist just said congratulations you're so successful and work nonstop lazy people think you got psychiatric disorder.

    I need to make near $1 million from non-brothel sources in 90 days. Then I need to uplift the property value from $3.1 million to $8.2 million in the next 90 days. It’s impossible unless I use every hour every second wisely.

    Mind you, I was directing 14 floors of operations at once while the previous management enjoyed 100% of the management money and even took my money.

    Mind you, I was doing my suicide prevention thesis to try and reduce death rates by 300-600 people per year.

    Mind you, I was doing that because I couldn't save my own child and I am still grieving 3 years later.

    Mind you, I was helping an ex through severe hallucinations. She turned on her friends, family, me, cost me $130,000 in legal bills, and put a few of us in prison, I had to prove my innocence with hundreds of pages of evidence while studying law, psychiatry, and coding.

    Mind you, I was launching the cheapest wholesale diamond business in Australia.

    Mind you, I was moving Fireflies to a new CBD location.

    Mind you, I was mediating a previous management team that fought over minor issues and ignored real-world struggles.
    I did not, and do not, like being pestered to do paid management’s job for free, or being asked to pay bills from my own pocket because they felt entitled, or being blamed for it

    What we achieved as a team (paid staff plus hundreds of incredibly generous professional supporters) in 6 months is inhumanly difficult.

    And you complain about me wearing green army camo flip flops, holding a bottle of Jim Beam Extra Strong, and carrying a folder of either my PhD thesis code and/or real estate DA documents?

    (Yes, that’s the answer to the shoe question.)

    I hope this sets the record straight. If I owe a real girl money, tell me. If I owe a fake girl, I offer a fake apology. But so far, we ask people, no girl and no staff is owed.

    To whoever is behind this:
    * You have damaged me financially ($400,000+ in lost revenue, killed an expansion, terrified 90% of my staff). You caused $250,000+ in smear campaign damages.
    * The sad part is, i don't lose anything. You are mostly hurting the girls and the staff who supported us.

    You let your ego sabotage something good. You petrol-bombed it and pointed fingers. What's next? False accusations to the police or council? Like my ex?

    You can try. I already invited the police and council to check everything. Why do you think 2 police visited Rockdale? I told them about the disgruntled employee.

    I have increased my business and building insurance. If you sabotage operations, I claim lost revenue.

    Do you know how much money i can claim with 99% chance of acceptance with the amount of screenshots and records i have?

    I dont know too. My AI knows lol. The answer is I am sad and will cry inside a newly upgraded luxury room with so much tacky decoration because "Jesse has no style" lol. I'll put that in pink neon.

    I have increased my life insurance to $1.8 million and instructed my accountant. If I lose a limb or die, my estate still gets a $5 million uplift. I win. I've picked my plot next to the gold stripper's pole. I've already instructed for the tombstone to be extra tacky with no taste. Or idk, just chuck me in the freezer, i like practicality.

    I have nothing to lose. The person I cared about most died. The others cheated multiple times or put me in jail.

    Stop talking to yourself. Stop pretending it wasn't you. If you actually care about the girls making money, stop the sabotage. Let the staff earn, let the customers have fun, let the government get taxes. Go learn business risk management.

    Repair your reputation. Help us genuinely, text all the girls and people you slandered me and us to and say "shit sorry, i got things wrong, he's aint that bad, do you wanna come and try work there?"

    Everyone will think you're cool af if you do that.
    You keep talking shit, people will avoid you like the plague. No one likes negativity. Contempt is the biggest of the four horsemen of the social apocalypse.

    Instead of typing "Jesse can't manage."

    Try asking: "Is a manager who put $3-5 million in stakeholders' pockets in 60-90 days good or bad?"

    Try asking: "If a manager is negative, lazy, sabotages the business, quits, and gets locked out, is Jesse the problem?"

    And learn to insult better. Calling me a junkie isn't effective. People have called me "fucked in the head" "definitely on ice" "definitely on coke" "definitely a psychopath" for a decade.

    I’m proud of my neurodiversity.

    They're not like us, dude.

    Backstab me all u want, report falsw accuse everywhere all you want, do clever manipulative triangulation tactics like my ex, whatevs. We're still gonna stand up. Like Cynthia Erivo, we will take strangers to a new home.

    Call police on me? Good, i forgot to give them a few more documents and affidavits on the sabotage.
    Call council on me? Good, i need to ask few questions about some of the big rooms.
    Call immigration on me? Good, we can deport Simon back to Lidcombe, Lebanon where he was born, or deport Kat and the girls back to.. heaven because they're angels? Oh yeah, we need a new Vevo account for the Black Garter.
    Call fire safety on me? Great, saves me money on BCA reclassification advice and i have a few questions about the Amtrak FireFinder panel we gonna buy
    Call tax office on me for audit? Great, my audit insurance will pay out way more than it will cost.

    But now you ask yourself. Who loses. It is the girls and the staffs.

    So lets just cut the shit.

    Repair the damages and help us succeed.

    Everyone too, i may sound confident but it gets lonely here. The staffs need to see some familiar faces, come over today, forget punting for a sec, and help us find solutions and can insult me constructively while at it, so we can improve quicker! We do need more help, both in moral support and also financial support, and today is the day we need it the most. One thing is very critical for us to buy/acquire and we need that to reach the next phase of the grand plan.

    TL;DR: Jesse is an accused criminal, junkie, alcoholic, psychopath, manic depressive, and "con artist" (according to 8 accounts that hmmm.. maybe or maybe not, share the same ip address or same vpn? Ouch, If only there's a way to check.... i dont think theres any way to check).

    TL;DR 2: Due to sabotage, Fireflies at the Black Garter is closing down temporarily and indefinitely effective immediately. We cannot hold staff under these threats. We, the staffs and the non existent girls, the "grandma" girls, will just hang out in the building we own, since the mortgage is paid in advance.

    TL;DR 3: Regarding Property & Business Equity Opportunities:
    We are currently finalizing the capitalization table for our property portfolio. There are remaining allocations for Sophisticated Investors (s708 Corporations Act) to acquire minority equity blocks (10-20%) or specific holdings (49.9% / 50.1%) in select asset trusts.

    Strict Deadlines Apply: Some allocations close in 48 hours; others within weeks.
    We operate strictly by the book. If you are a qualified investor and wish to review the Information Memorandum (IM) or discuss eligibility, call my personal number immediately. We will verify your status before proceeding.
    Not exactly helping dispel the drug rumours with posts like this.

    It gives us away? Ha!

    If I click “remember me” when I first log in then it doesn’t give me away. So it’s the site’s problem not mine.

    Why not see if there’s a patch to fix?

    If I could be bothered googling it no doubt there’s a fix but that’s the job of admin isn’t it?

    I was the one who brought it out into the open after suffering silently for six months, so I need a box of chips or sumthin’!

    When this happens, hit the BACK button on your browser several times. It should return you to the cached page of the post. USUALLY works, but must be done immediately.

    Time seems to be back to local.

    Ah, practiced what I preach: Google is your friend:

    The conversion of a double quote (") to ItÂ’s is a character encoding error, specifically involving UTF-8 characters being interpreted as Windows-1252 (or ISO-8859-1). The smart apostrophe (’) in UTF-8 is represented by three bytes ($E2$ $80$ $99$), which become three garbage characters (Â, ’, s) when displayed in the wrong encoding.

    Key Details on Encoding Errors:

    The Cause: Text created with Unicode (UTF-8) is opened or saved in a system using a Western European encoding (like Windows-1252/Latin-1).

    The Breakdown: The byte sequence $E2$ $80$ $99$ is intended to be a single smart apostrophe (’), but the incorrect encoding misinterprets $E2$ as  and $80$ as ’, resulting in Â’s.

    Common Scenarios: This frequently happens when copying text from modern applications (like Word, web browsers) into older systems, databases, or software that does not support Unicode properly.

    Solution: Ensure the document, database, or software is set to UTF-8 encoding


    More fully:
    That weird transformation (e.g.," becoming ItÂ’s) happens because of a digital "language barrier" called Mojibake—essentially a mismatch in character encoding.

    Why it happens:

    The Mismatch: Most modern websites use UTF-8 encoding, but older systems or specific software (like Microsoft Word) often use Windows-1252 (also called Western European). Mojibake occurs when a computer reads one encoding as if it were the other.

    Smart Quotes: When you type a regular quote ("), many programs auto-convert it into "curly" or "smart" quotes ( ’ ).

    The Corruption: In UTF-8, that curly apostrophe is represented by a specific set of three bytes. If a system incorrectly interprets those three bytes using the Windows-1252 "map," it displays them as the characters Â’.

    Common Examples:
    You typed ........ What you see ........... Why?
    ’ (Apostrophe) ..... Â’ .................... UTF-8 bytes read as Windows-1252.

    — (Em Dash) ....... — .................... The three-byte code for a long dash is misread.

    “ (Open Quote) ..... “ ................. Standard "smart quote" encoding error.

    How to fix it:

    For Readers: Try changing your browser's "Text Encoding" setting to Unicode (UTF-8).

    For Creators: Use a "plain text" editor (like Notepad or TextEdit) to strip out fancy formatting before pasting text into a website, or ensure your website header is set to <meta charset="UTF-8">.
    Hahaha omg wow…. That’s dedication yo

    Never met Jessie or visited any of his establishments. This thread should be deleted. You got a problem with him? Sort it privately or with the police. If he runs a good shop, punters will come and workers will stay. If he enables drugs and doesn't pay his staff, they'll leave & the shop will fail. Natural selection. Move along.

    Couldn't Agree More
