[21:48] IsambardPrince So they released him in April pending another court date, then ICE arrested him in Chicago the other day.

[21:57] IsambardPrince It just keeps escalating. ● Jul 20 [22:01] IsambardPrince MinceR, The problem with Mandy is I say "Oh God." just like Walter nearly every day over something. [22:21] IsambardPrince MinceR, Basically there's a number of situations where you're better off legally if you just report yourself for a crime. [22:22] IsambardPrince But then you know, just don't say anything else until you have an attorney. [22:22] MinceR :> [22:22] IsambardPrince He should have called the police and said "I found her, she was dead, that's all I know." [22:22] IsambardPrince There may have been nothing they could charge him with. [22:22] IsambardPrince How do they know if she got drugs from him? She's dead. [22:23] IsambardPrince She won't be saying where she got drugs from. [22:23] IsambardPrince All they know is she overdosed in his house. [22:23] IsambardPrince Another situation where you stop immediately, and stay there, and call 911 on yourself is if you hit someone in a car. [22:24] IsambardPrince Like, the pedestrian I hit who came running through an intersection from behind tree cover while my car was coming down a hill. [22:24] IsambardPrince He lived and had a bruise, but that was all. [22:24] IsambardPrince Leaving the scene would have been a felony. [22:24] IsambardPrince I called 911 and stayed there. [22:24] IsambardPrince The police determined that there was no crime. My insurance went up a little bit for a couple years. [22:25] IsambardPrince You have all these people where I live that do hit and run felonies. [22:25] IsambardPrince It's just a stupid thing to go to prison for. [22:25] IsambardPrince The hit and run is two crimes, at least. [22:25] IsambardPrince One for hit and run, and one for failure to report an accident. [22:25] IsambardPrince Those sound like the same thing, but they're actually not. [22:26] IsambardPrince If you fled the scene and called 911 within a certain time frame it wouldn't be failure to report, but it would be leaving the scene. [22:26] IsambardPrince So people flee because they're drunk. [22:26] IsambardPrince But it's better to stop and call 911 even if you're drunk. [22:27] IsambardPrince You'll get in way less trouble for drunk driving than you will for fleeing and failure to report. [22:27] IsambardPrince So, the law is set up like this on purpose. [22:27] IsambardPrince Out of one incident, there's potentially between 3 and 7 criminal charges that could potentially come from it. [22:28] IsambardPrince They do this because it makes it easier to get you to plead down in exchange for almost nothing in return. [22:28] IsambardPrince If there's only one crime on the indictment, you have not only less incentive to take a guilty plea, but the prosecutor has more incentive to come way down because he could only take one thing to trial. [22:29] IsambardPrince But when it's 3-7 charges, then you have a lot less room to negotiate. [22:29] IsambardPrince So they'll hit you with everything it could possibly be. [22:29] IsambardPrince They know that you know you won't get away from all of it. [22:30] IsambardPrince That's why they're so good at "winning". [22:30] IsambardPrince They have ways of making innocent or "not so bad" people admit to things and try to move on. [22:30] IsambardPrince It may seem crude, but the sledgehammer is the only tool they really need.

[22:37] MinceR he drops down to 2 when the armor's destroyed [22:37] MinceR (of course, what id calls "chaingun" is actually a gatling gun) [22:37] IsambardPrince 4 with hitscan damage is pretty severe. [22:37] MinceR :> [22:38] IsambardPrince How does it calculate a hit in that engine? [22:38] MinceR \_()_/ [22:38] IsambardPrince Do all of them hit if you're in the line of sight? [22:38] MinceR it's probably documented online but i don't know [22:38] IsambardPrince Or does it calculate hits and misses as well? [22:40] IsambardPrince "While his sprites suggest he would cause more damage when armored, in fact, he doesn't. The armor is most likely an excuse to give Hitler an amount of HP much higher than that of the other bosses. Both his forms combined have close to double the HP of Hans Grsse." [22:40] IsambardPrince MinceR, So whether Hitler has four or two chainguns, he causes the same damage. [22:40] MinceR :> [22:41] IsambardPrince "In the 2nd Encounter episode of the Mac Family, Hitler is always the ultimate boss. The censored SNES port renamed Hitler to Staatmeister (Adolf Trautmann in the Japanese version) who uses Hitler's sprite, though edited somewhat - he lacks a mustache and has a completely redrawn death animation. The paintings of Hitler in the SNES port were also changed, Staatmeister has no mustache nor swastika armband." [22:41] IsambardPrince Oh gee, the Staatmeister.

[22:48] MinceR to be fair, there are worse versions of Backdoors than 3 [22:48] MinceR probably most of them [22:49] MinceR sure, it crashes a lot, but at least it starts a lot more quickly than the newer ones [22:49] MinceR plus it doesn't push ads or ruscist propaganda in your face [22:49] MinceR and doesn't tell you to schedule reboots [22:50] IsambardPrince No, Windows 3 didn't do auto updates or really any updates. [22:50] MinceR indeed [22:50] IsambardPrince You got the version that came on the floppy disk. [22:51] IsambardPrince You could add internet software if you wanted.

[22:51] IsambardPrince They were much more interested in getting malware onto the newer Windows 9x systems. [22:52] MinceR first time i moused over the "widgets" icon on freshly installed Backdoors 11 (not my computer, of course) what i got is a panel full of index.hu articles [22:52] MinceR index.hu is a propaganda site of the hungarian pedophile alliance [22:53] MinceR speaking of ruscist megacorporations, goolag is fucking with youtube downloads again [22:54] IsambardPrince They always are.

[22:58] MinceR if it works, you should have tried it on your presidential candidates before one of them became king... [22:58] IsambardPrince Well, you basically ask their home country "Hey, do they have crime records there?" [22:59] MinceR trusting a state? bad idea. [22:59] IsambardPrince And you look at their online presence. [22:59] IsambardPrince Well, it's worse when they just sneak in. [22:59] IsambardPrince Then you don't get to investigate them at all. [22:59] IsambardPrince When a person breaks into the country and doesn't even bother to ask if it's okay... [22:59] IsambardPrince They've already committed a crime. ● Jul 20 [23:00] IsambardPrince So most illegal immigrants are criminals already. [23:00] IsambardPrince If we have no record of this person even entering the country, it means illegal entry. [23:00] IsambardPrince Illegally entering the country is a crime. [23:01] IsambardPrince Overstaying a visa isn't a crime, but it's a civil matter with legal consequences. [23:01] IsambardPrince Such as being deported and banned for years, or even forever. [23:01] IsambardPrince And if you re-enter when you've been banned that's an automatic felony. [23:01] MinceR none of it seems worse than what states, megacorporations and cults do [23:01] IsambardPrince Well, I'd like them to get to know these people a little better. [23:02] IsambardPrince We'd have less stuff like the decapitated woman in bleach on the front lawn.
