12 Former Forever-Aloners Give Valuable Advice On How To Escape The Dark Abyss Of Loneliness

1. Keep putting yourself out there. You’re not gonna meet your future someone by sitting at home alone (unless it’s the food delivery person I guess).

Trying to mold them into your ideal version is not only disrespectful but ultimately futile. It breeds resentment, fuels power struggles, and erodes the foundation of trust and acceptance that healthy relationships need.

First photo of Sam Bankman-Fried in jail at MDC Brooklyn

Aphoto of Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced founder of cryptocurrency exchange FTX, has surfaced, revealing a markedly changed appearance since his incarceration. The photo, made public by crypto journalist Tiffany Fong, offers a rare insight into Bankman-Fried’s life in prison.

Tiffany Fong disclosed that the photograph was provided by a former gang member known as G Lock, who shared his confinement space with Bankman-Fried. The timing of the photo, taken on December 17, 2023, was significant as it was one of the rare occasions—specifically Christmas and Father’s Day—when inmates are permitted to capture moments through photographs.
