mircea_popescu: dude... fuck delusional "courts bans". no court has the power to prevent public communication OF ANYTHING.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i can only speak here to clarify certain misgivings about my friend. or i will violate the publication ban as it all links together."
mircea_popescu: and i barely see the point of this discussion as we are not allowed by operation of law to discuss many relevant points to the story. i think you could discuss much without including any name. but it does not show the why of allan filing and trying the way he does. if i was him i would have no faith in the courts at all.
mircea_popescu: nge that. i was actually there. i will say i have seen no judge, crown, or family services member with the best interest of the children in mind (in this case). and that is a hard fact.
mircea_popescu: "i can only say so much for a few reasons. first allan is my friend. we dont agree on many points but this does not mean i care to make any assumptions about his beliefs on law and governance or his personal life. second there is a publication ban on things which i hold first hand knowledge of. i belive those cases were sealed as a cover up of what actually went on. there is nothing anyone will write here that will cha

mircea_popescu: but somehow it is ok to say "the presence of whores promotes disease", but conventionally not ok to say "the presence of courts promotes vexation".

mircea_popescu: he even tried the lawyer route for the sake of the children but the families could not afford it for long."
mircea_popescu: "agreed. i like allan as a friend. to meet him you would probably like him too. he isnt nuts in general like many are. i have sat in on a few court dates that cant be brought up on here. allan and his family got shafted. that put al in a hard spot and drove his theories to what we have now. there was no reason for his kids to be taken. if there was i would gladly say so. in a way the courts created allan the vexatious.
mircea_popescu: anyway, they all had billions in ipad poker money and got some sort of bonus or whatever for inviting new players.
mircea_popescu: well it suffers from the problem of bored waitress (shop girl / whore / whatever), they get into these fixations vaguely reminescent of "la pie a une manie : elle volle tout ce qui brille"
mircea_popescu: so we all sat there with tables playing "poker" for a while.

mircea_popescu: kinda like the soviet equivalent, "oh, so you got kicked out of your party commission thing ? no, you can't have a job. because fuck you, that's why"
mircea_popescu: this whole "overqualified" thing is a very peculiar usg instrument of lizardlet punishment.
mircea_popescu: "After more than 20 years as an electronics engineer, Pete Edwards reached the low six-figure pay level. Now, as he looks for a job following a layoff, he finds that salary success a burden."

mircea_popescu: it's feasible average consumer would prefer to watch visually upgraded angry birds on amd hardware to watching another talkshow.
mircea_popescu: as social media and general laziness drove the cost of producing tv shows why the fuck up, forcing ever present decreases in quality,
mircea_popescu: so in this sense, something like "gpu-powered ipad game, 100ms delayed" is a great competition for cable tv
mircea_popescu: much like their parents much prefer to watch video footage of other [black, preferably] men fucking their wives.
mircea_popescu: the trend is evident enoughj that fucking southpark mocked the tendency of kids to prefer to watch youtube vids of other people playing their games.
mircea_popescu: basically [a segment of] gaming has turned into "gimme a minimally interactive tv show"
mircea_popescu: yes, this is fine and good, i'm just saying the reasons they do what they do are outside of your experience.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform exactly. this is what they do, because this is what the mob wants, because mob is mentally retarded. PRETTIFY angry birds!
mircea_popescu: even the notion of "pvp" has been perverted into "pick a team out of this list and cpu will play it for you - thereby you're attacking another player"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes & his hipster friends are happy to wait 30 s for a webmail screen to load

mircea_popescu: i dunno how familiar you are with ipad/android on one hand, and steam and derivatives on the other ; but amd's ploy is plainly to make a hardware-sum-of-these.

mircea_popescu: bonus points to where j d rooke got so hot and bothered under the collar he originally made a ruling so broken (through disallowing appeal improperly) he had to come in with a "corrigendum", which apparently is how it works in canada.
mircea_popescu fucking loves reading all these SOPS rulings, the beatings the justice system applies to itself trying to fight reddit-level crazies is delightful.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: bonus points for the item two paragraphs supra, where the judge nigh-on admits that he tried to track down the guy and have a little behind the scenes compact with him. sadly he wasn't also a laywer. this of course is deeply different from "criminal scheme to bla bla".
mircea_popescu: how the fuck is the notary to know what you'll find when the stuff he notarizes butthurts your preferred coloring of reality ?
mircea_popescu: "[116] I have previously concluded, on a balance of probabilities, that these documents were intended to illegally assert a debt against the Officer and Alberta, and that the attempt to file the documents Powell notarized is an indictable criminal offense.
