BingoBoingo: Israel also for USian escapees also has
the downside of being in orbit.
decimation: all sorts of elites in
the US (including government leaders) send
their kids
to server in
the isreali army
BingoBoingo: decimation:
That's
the current strategy, but I'm
tempted
to
take it
to a jury next year finally
BingoBoingo: But
to seriously escape USia, even by land one needs a plan
that cover not just
the simple border crossing, but also
the next hop
to a candidate for a haven.
BingoBoingo: Pending fucking misdemeanor disordely conduct charge which has been ongoing for quite some
time.
gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: everything I've got
to my name fits in
two bags. I understand
that ascii can't leave because of equipment, but
that isn't
the situation for most people.
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: For reasonable definitions of fly, such
that goal is permanent escape.
decimation: I doubt anyone will stop you if you just walk across
the mighty Rio Grande
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: right. so what I'm driving at is

the back of a pick-up, fly across border?
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: I
think you severely overestimate my USD denominated holdings
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: Sinaloa and Los Zetas didn't grow
themselves
PeterL: why not go
the other way,
through Canada?
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: I make efforts
to acquire USD, but avoiding
the honeytrap
that is
the drug business options are limited so I have a
tent. Upon leaving with my budget first obstacle is
the DEA's pet insecurity problem in Norther Mexico.
gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: come on. you're
telling me
that you can't set out for
the promised land with 50k cash in your back pocket and be able
to figure out some way
to a) have bitcoin in
the future and b) make enough USD now
to live on?
BingoBoingo: Missouri
to Indiana or Kentucky
to Iowa are
toll free
decimation: Illinois just wants
to charge
thru-travelers extra
tax
decimation: actually I wouldn't mind
tollways if roads were fully privatized
PeterL: Illinois has obnoxios
tollways
too
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: Ah, but where
to get USD outside of
the bezzel!
decimation: PeterL: but
the south side of chicago gets
their reparations!

The one good
thing Illinois has are roads downstate... Unless
they are under construction.
gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: You don't have
to give up USD immediately if you leave
the US.
PeterL: my in-laws live in illinois,
they always complain about
the high
taxes and lack of any visibile benefit from paying said
taxes
decimation: it's a good rule of
thumb: states which require 'all-party' consent for recording are corrupt as hell
BingoBoingo: Unless one sufficiently accept
the role of
tame crank.
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: A
thing I am experiencing is when one rejects
the local bezzel
the local bezzel makes it hard
to leave.
PeterL: so
to become king, you just have
to outlive all
the other leaders
gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo:
this is however, a good
thing. it will leave out
the
PeterL: when leader dies,
the longest serving council member becomes new leader
PeterL: current leader chooses people
to fill vacancies in a 12 person council,
those chosen serve for life
gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: of course it isn't easy. building Israel into somewhere you might actually want
to live wasn't easy.
PeterL: In response
to
the earlier
talk of choosing a monarch, it made me
think of
the way
the Mormon church chooses its leader:
decimation: lol apparently Illinois passed a law
that makes it a felony
to record a public official without consent
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: I'm in
the middle of
the corral. As asciilifeform has mentioned earlier leaving is not easy.
gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: dosen't matter really. have you met any American cattle? when
the country fails
they'll find
themselves rejected everywhere / killed outright.
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: But if
they do wake, where
to go?
gabriel_laddel: "It's a shame
that
taxpayers have
to be on
the hook for
the criminal actions of
their "servants" but it's still good when citizens let police know
that
there will be some consequences for rights violations."

gabriel_laddel: "no, baaah, not my laambs!" "I paid my baaah
taxes!" *bleating continues*
gabriel_laddel: "before 'the sheeple wake'" hmmm... I'm sorta under
the impression
that
they're not ever going
to wake.
the
thing with sheep is
that
they get
tend
to get slaughtered. after 5-10 years of living
the life of American cattle
the brain starts
to deteriorate from lack of use.
threaten
them an all you get is pathetic bleating.
decimation: I bet outlaw restaurants have good food
too
BingoBoingo thinks outlaw restaurants would be a decent
theme for a
trip around USia
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Sure, but
those problems have solutions! Except for
the deadliest
thing around is
the
trash problem.
decimation: you
too can start a new life in
the off world colonies
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: nah, all over
the place. But I only ever compute in bed while sitting.
kakobrekla: asciilifeform have you
thought about zero g, how will you
think better in bed?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: What about if
the rest of
the room rotates?
decimation: not
to mention holding your arms on your lap (when lying down) would get
tiring
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: okay, so
the monitor folds down with a usb keyboard in some sort of rack attached
to it.
decimation: I wish
they made e-ink displays
that updated at a reasonable frequency and were large
gabriel_laddel: re in bed computing. is
there something wrong with a bluetooth keyboard on
the lap and a monitor
that folds onto
the ceiling?
kakobrekla: for me bed is hard
to get in and hard
to get out.
decimation: you could send morse from a
thigh-key
to a
terminal
kakobrekla: lol. he is even worse
than me, wont leave
the bed.
decimation: asciilifeform: you would make a
terrible do-o-crat
kakobrekla: well reading in bed and writing in bed arent
the same
thing.
decimation: lol yeah I figured you would like
that one
decimation: asciilifeform:
this came up yesterday with
the global interpreter lock
gabriel_laddel: (re:
Threaded Emacs, I've already walked
that road - don't waste your
time. Not going
to happen and won't fix
the underlying issues with Emacs anyways.)
decimation: I've definitely noticed
that if I add external packages, it
tends
to make
things very very slow
decimation: I have been using org-mode
to keep
track of
things, it's okay
decimation: asciilifeform: you don't compile
the latest emacs 24?
