Oh yeah, okay.

So this one's funny cuz I always wanted to tell

the story about this one.

Back in the day, like before like the woke era

like I actually got canceled for this, which is so crazy.

Like I was just at a party with my friends.

Someone took this photo and it got leaked to this website

called Hipster Runoff.

And then he like ran this story and this was like

I was trying to be like all integrity and you know,

like start my career.

And it was like Grimes gone wild or something.

And it was just this like super wack, like mean story.

And it was like this meme

that was going all over the internet.

But my friend who worked for

I will not say which video game had access to.

Okay, well I don't wanna get him in trouble, but anyway

we were actually able to DDoS Hipster Runoff

and basically blackmail them.

We were like, like we're not gonna let you run your

put your site back up until you take the story down.

And he did in fact take the story down.

And it was like my coolest hacker moment.

So yeah, that's a story of this photo.
