mircea_popescu: a, a.
they're both
taboo
transgressive, but i doubt
they're
the same
thing really.
nubbins`: some prefer one, some
the other, some both. but
the motivation stems from
the same source
nubbins`: consider another angle: humans are driven
to have sex because of sexual urges. doesn't mean all humans want
to have sex with both genders
mircea_popescu: maybe
there's something here but perhaps
too complicated
to easily detach
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: sure, and
the same attraction
to items from a
time past is what brings people
to collect both
Vexual: and
the whisky is arely in another castle
mircea_popescu: as a non-steroid riddled non-ape
that has slapped bucnhes of butts purple i
tell you i see no appeal in hangings at all.
nubbins`: propriety brought both out of
the public eye
nubbins`: no,
that
the same process made
them popular in
the first place.
mircea_popescu: so
the proposition here is
that
the same process
took out hangings and spankings ?
nubbins`: just
that
these are common enough
things
that share a common characteristic
nubbins`: i'm not saying everyone in
the
town was jacking off at
the gallows
mircea_popescu: so when's
the last
time you gave
the missus a good spanking ?
nubbins`: and in a pinch, a recollection of
the hanging
nubbins`: the wetness of an impaling is just icing on
the cake
nubbins`: doesn't even need
to be witnessed
nubbins`: even
thinking about it gets people riled up
nubbins`: or a room full of dudebros swapping stories of
tricking women into having sex or beating up nerds
nubbins`: consider
the age of 1-900 sex chat
nubbins`: and why all
those
things have a habit of getting
tangled up with each other occasionally
nubbins`: this is why
they enjoy humiliation,
torture, gore, etc as well as sex
decimation: Belarussian hackers probably have unique insight in how
to create proper communism
mircea_popescu: U.S. intelligence agencies last week urged
the Obama administration
to check its new healthcare network for malicious software after learning
that developers linked
to
the Belarus government helped produce
the website, raising fresh concerns
that private data posted by millions of Americans will be compromised.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform was it because hangings got
too close
to masturbation for
the victim ?
mircea_popescu: decimation why is it considered horrific
to show kids nipples
decimation: why is it considered horrific
to broadcast hangings in
the US, but not horrific
to broadcast "fiction" featuring people murdering regularly?
nubbins`: Mats_cd03: sometimes
the prosecution gets fucked, but
they don't really have
to pay
the bill when it comes
Mats_cd03: i mean fuck
they're pitting lawyers against each other, someone is going
to get fucked and its not
the prosecution
mircea_popescu: nubbins` fun fact : guy did
this in
timisoara ~5 years ago. he was acquited.
Mats_cd03: it has been an adversarial judicial system its entire existence...scalia agrees on
this account
nubbins`: i might as well just shoot
the other one, and my daughter
too?
nubbins`: so i come home
to find my wife in bed with another man
Mats_cd03: the process has always been a laughing stock, we just invented
the internet recently and
tell each other about it
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform kinda what i'm pointing out here. it makes a laughingstock of
the process.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: i don't suppose
the punishment discourages anyone who commits an offence
nubbins`: "actually
this whole
town is full of nerds"
mircea_popescu: nubbins` do you suppose
the 4955th year discourages anyone ?
nubbins`: don't you suppose
that would encourage people
to just keep on driving after
they've struck someone?
mircea_popescu: unless
there's a special law for 3 people, murder is murder.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: same punishment for striking one person with your car vs driving
through a crowd, mowing down dozens?
mircea_popescu: i'm in jail, i'm in jail. it applies
to all possible reasons i might be in jail.
nubbins`: do i have
to wash
the same number of dishes as
the guy who only ate half a pizza?
decimation: public hangings ought
to be mandatory viewing for
the entire population
nubbins`: sure, but if i go
to a pizza place and eat a full pizza, do i get charged for one slice?
mircea_popescu: nubbins` you can't commit
the crime x
times, unless you do x
things.
nubbins`: and he committed
the crime 87
times,
they say
decimation: why not just convict on one "count"
then, and if you want him
to suffer more, convict him of
the next?
Mats_cd03: ive spent five minutes now just examining
the man's beard and
the other guy's arm hair
nubbins`: and what sort of justice equates
the killing of one with
the killing of dozens?!
nubbins`: mircea_popescu: unfortunately
there's no separate crime for "killing 87 people"
Mats_cd03: is
there context for
the photo on
trilema
decimation: how can
the guy who signed
that letter face himself in
the mirror
mircea_popescu: González was charged with 174 counts of murder—-
two for each victim—- and was found guilty on 87 counts of arson and 87 counts of murder on August 19, 1991. For each count he received
the sentence maximum of 25 years
to life (a
total of 4,350 years). It was
the most substantial prison
term ever imposed in
the state of New York
nubbins`: "Upon further review, we have determined
that
the string by itself is not a machinegun"
mircea_popescu: benkay it's still a scam, but
