Vexual: it could rent my cats ferrari
to go
to
the vet, and
the
tax office would go ahhh
mircea_popescu: in other news : saw a chinchilla run from a sewer
tonight.
ben_vulpes: anyways, now we get
to see who's actually serving content.
ben_vulpes: i'm leaning
towards moving
the venues list
to
the front page, and making a faq page
ben_vulpes: if it blocks
the request, i never know. if
the request goes
through but
the user's never shown
the content,
that'll log.
mircea_popescu: so
then adblocking doesn't rly do much, unless it kills iframes i guess
ben_vulpes: nominally
this db is designed for
this sort of webby logging stuff.
ben_vulpes: when a request comes in
to van-ads.com/venues/drinkingrecord/* i log
the
time
to
the db
ben_vulpes: it's only going
to register hits for people whose ad blockers are disabled.
ben_vulpes: tonight on VAN: realtime impression
tracking!
mircea_popescu: but anyway, for closure :
the resistance
to anything unlawful is not a right, it's a freedom. no court has or could have any authority
to create a right out of it, or in any way
to curtail it.
ben_vulpes: the notion
that cops would know one boggles me wee brain a bit
mircea_popescu: officer in charge comes over, goes "hmmm... mr. p... would it be possible
to ... uhm... look in
the
trunk ?"
mircea_popescu: so many years ago, i'm coming back
to
town. im in
the back with a girl, driver and shadow in front.
there's
this roadblock on
the local
turnpike.
BingoBoingo: It's reasons like
this why I have a court date next week when I could have paid a fine
to settle last year
mircea_popescu: "i was supposed
to get paper x, da didn't send it. motion
to dismiss
the case with prejudice"
mircea_popescu: i dunno people... where i come from something like
this is enough
to
throw
the
thing out.
mircea_popescu: around
their prior conflicting statements,
to get some “police procedures expert”
to justify
the unjustifiable."
mircea_popescu: cident
that you’re being prosecuted for (See, Rezek v. Superior Court, 206 Cal.App.4th 633 (2012); you’re supposed
to get it, but in
the real world, you almost always never do), and
the story
that
the cops
told
the Professional Standards / Internal Affairs Division Investigators don’t jive with
the present one.
They just make something up; all with
the guidance of
the DA’s office. Really.
They fabricate enough
mircea_popescu: o look at
this "The practical answer is,
that if you get a sympathetic jury, and may not get convicted; especially if you catch
the cops lying and ditching evidence (standard operating procedure; really.)
The cops’ stories in
these cases are a work in progress;
they change depending on what comes up. If you (by some miracle, even
though you’re entitled
to it) obtain
the Internal Affairs Investigation of
the same in
mircea_popescu: didn't i say yest
today will be cry day ? or something
to
that effect.

ben_vulpes: right up
there with doctor of communist economics
ben_vulpes: hikkikimori and
they just don't know it
mircea_popescu: what does he know
this schmuck. it's about as scary
to be stopped by a cop as it's scary
to be accosted by beggars, panhandlers and flyer guys
mircea_popescu: "I know it is scary for people
to be stopped by cops. I also understand
the anger and frustration if people believe
they have been stopped unjustly or without a reason. "
assbot: Last
trade for S.MPOE on MPEX was at 0.00064057 BTC [-]
BingoBoingo: I imagine I could do
that, but... brain abused by AmerEnglish
mircea_popescu: "It is also a
terrible calumny; cops are not murderers. No officer goes out in
the field wishing
to shoot anyone, armed or unarmed."
BingoBoingo: I might have gotten
to a bit
tipsy by
then. Maybe I need
to chew on
these
things a bit longer
mircea_popescu: "These are young people who want a future of some sort and know
that if during such frequent encounters
their persistence in being might cease because either
the officer,
themself, or both are having a particularly bad day
their life can end. "
this made utterly no sense.
mircea_popescu: but
this system where square faced mugs figure
themselves alpha is unholy./
BingoBoingo: The problem is overestimating one's cool and being an asshole beyond
that
ben_vulpes: "if you don’t want
to get shot,
tased, pepper-sprayed, struck with a baton or
thrown
to
the ground, just do what I
tell you. "
mircea_popescu: "it's not
the police, but
the people
they stop, who can prevent a detention from
turning into a
tragedy."
mircea_popescu: this is Sunil Dutta after having been drug behind a
truck for
two hours
the next day
mircea_popescu: "and
this was Sunil Dutta. he
thought he was a cop. he
thought he was pretty cool.
this is sunil dutta with his wife and kids.
this is sunil dutta with his dog.
mircea_popescu: i intend
to make a nice library.
the memorial von flondor library, containing documentation of what happens
to
these folks once
things change.
mircea_popescu: looking forward
to
the videos of
them folks being beaten
to death over a week or
two, once
the regime changes.
assbot: Im a cop. If you dont want
to get hurt, dont challenge me. -
The Washington Post
BingoBoingo: Oh, one of
the dpb noobs challenged me
to chess, and maybe?
mircea_popescu: like, police officer messed with plumber for an hour, now county has
to pay $1500 plus lawyer fees
mircea_popescu: so do
the pds routinely pay small claims for pointless detaining professionals ?
BingoBoingo: Well, drunk in public isn't a crime
there.
Turns out nearly all US states have
that BS
mircea_popescu: then
the go on
to say
that
the unlawfullness of
the arrest is no defense.
mircea_popescu: that missouri statute is such bs. all
the 1st para is replete with "lawful arrest"
BingoBoingo: Well De Blasio had something
to say last week.
mircea_popescu: does he fucking have an opinion on restaurant meals
too, like
the previous idiot ?
mircea_popescu: and since when
the fucking hell does blasio have anything
to say about resisting arrest ?
BingoBoingo: I've since gotten drunk,
that sentence attrocity was constructed sober
mircea_popescu: but why does it work for your
thing ? you're not saying anything normative
there.
mircea_popescu: i mean, it's normative, i can see it. "when we feel depressed let's
take our clothes off and bellydance instead"
that makese sense.
BingoBoingo: It's how I
thing, why I have
to chew on shit so long or spout nonsense like in chan
mircea_popescu: "When considering what jurisdiction in
this world is or is not, or perhaps which one just might be ever so slightly closer
to being
the land of
the free
than some other's let us examine a snippet of
text
that enumerates a right of citizens of some actual jurisdiction
the world which might give many people in
the United States some pause."
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes: did you and pascale hate it? << if
the girl's frail and
the guy big it dun work.
BingoBoingo: Instead of
their personal everythings being causes
that inhere
themselves with failure
BingoBoingo: It is
the redditards curse where
they imagine
the cause of
their continued poverty and virginity is God's spite
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: You forget
the US pidgin Spite-Cause
mircea_popescu: and
the us crime problem is mostly a creation of
the uspds.
mircea_popescu: air
travel is insecure BECAUSE
the
tsa not in spite of it.
mircea_popescu: the us is insecure BECAUSE of
the dept of state and us army, not in spite of
them.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: I actually
think
the endgame a portion in Ferguson seeks is a police department like East St Louis's which see falling crime in spite of near complete inactio << it's not in spite. it's BECAUSE.
BingoBoingo: Most in
the US have already been collapsed
to
mircea_popescu: there's
the louisiana
territory,
the
texas republic, old dixie,
the original colonies, republic of sociocalifornia etc etc
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: and unlike, say, yugoslavia or ussr,
there are no conveniently-drawn ethno-geographic bantustans for it
to cleanly collapse
to. << sure
there are.
