DaemonFC[m]r_schestowitz: Probation "offered" free counseling.Sep 20 17:52

DaemonFC[m]God knows I could use some therapy after what the state put me through this year, but that's not the place to go get it. Sep 20 17:52
DaemonFC[m]I'd be walking right into a trap where they just make their little notes and hand them to the PO and the judge and then they say they don't believe my doctor is correct that I'm doing okay and that I'm "blaming the victims" or whatever.Sep 20 17:53
DaemonFC[m]They'll either let me talk and then use it against me in court later, or they'll shout over me and ridicule me. Either way, if it's "voluntary", why step in it?Sep 20 17:54
DaemonFC[m]The only thing that's likely to happen in there is that the odds of being let go after December fall.Sep 20 17:55
DaemonFC[m]Right now, the only thing she can take to court attesting to my mental health is something my doctor wrote saying that I'm doing well.Sep 20 17:55

DaemonFC[m]Matthew Garret is a a fucking shithead.Sep 20 23:23
DaemonFC[m]He pretty much passively ignores everything that big companies do to sabotage Free Software, and apologizes and makes excuses for them.Sep 20 23:23
DaemonFC[m]At the same time, he does this SJW nonsense.Sep 20 23:23
DaemonFC[m]Microsoft is getting all of this good karma for "open sourcing" software that doesn't actually have a use case without their proprietary software.Sep 20 23:24
DaemonFC[m]At the same time, they STILL try to make it difficult to run other operating systems on your PC.Sep 20 23:24
DaemonFC[m]But no news coverage about that.Sep 20 23:24
DaemonFC[m]And if you try to make an issue out of it, both Microsoft and the "Free Software people" gang up on you.Sep 20 23:24
DaemonFC[m]I learned that one in 2016 over Lenovo.Sep 20 23:25
DaemonFC[m]The Free Software Foundation (the US one anyway) has been infiltrated and rotting from the inside out for years now.Sep 20 23:26
DaemonFC[m]RMS is a nasty pervert and a very mean person and a control freak, but he also presided over them defunding actual work on Free Software, and has appointed people like Garret and Miguel de Icaza to leadership at FSF and given them awards. And Miguel de Icaza *IS* a Microsoft employee now after years of subverting Free Software and pushing Microsoft patented stuff into Linux and baiting people to use it even though itSep 20 23:28

DaemonFC[m]There's no Free Software movement anymore.Sep 20 23:30
MinceRthere's a bit left here and thereSep 20 23:31
DaemonFC[m]I was surprised to see that it took everyone this long to pick up on RMS being a pervert and to suggest that rape is fine, pedophilia included or not.Sep 20 23:31
DaemonFC[m]NOBODY would just write about how it was fine to have sex with 10 year olds incessantly unless they were either doing it themselves or wanted to.Sep 20 23:32
DaemonFC[m]It's technically not a crime to advocate sex with kids, but you know, community should shun you for it. Sep 20 23:33
DaemonFC[m]r_schestowitz wrote it's not a crime to talk about it, but I mean, just, yuck.Sep 20 23:33
MinceRis there any evidence of that?Sep 20 23:33
MinceRrms could just be strangeSep 20 23:33
DaemonFC[m]And this went WAY beyond borderline stuff like sex with a 15 or 16 year old, which in many states is legal or at least not the most serious offense.Sep 20 23:34
MinceRplus there's a lot of (intentional?) misunderstanding by SJWs going onSep 20 23:34
DaemonFC[m]He was talking like how an 11 year old might have consented to Jeffery Epstein..Sep 20 23:34
DaemonFC[m]I don't really happen to agree with the law in Wisconsin or Illinois, because sex acts that I did in Indiana would be illegal in both.Sep 20 23:35
DaemonFC[m]And ones that I've done here in Illinois would be illegal had they occurred in Wisconsin.Sep 20 23:35
DaemonFC[m]There's no federal law. It's just up to the states, which does make the system incoherent.Sep 20 23:35
DaemonFC[m]So like, people who have done things I did legally in Indiana are on the Illinois sex offender registry for 10 years after committing a Class A Misdemeanor.Sep 20 23:36
DaemonFC[m]Same country. But it doesn't matter if they do move to Indiana, they have to deal with that coming up on a background check even if it would have been fine in Indiana.Sep 20 23:37
DaemonFC[m]And it still says "sexual abuse of minor", even though that's not what it is in Indiana.Sep 20 23:37
DaemonFC[m]And if you can believe it, the federal government makes things _worse_.Sep 20 23:37
DaemonFC[m]If, as an Illinois resident, I cross into Indiana to have sex with a 16 year old, I've broken a federal law, even though if I lived in Indiana, it would have been fine.Sep 20 23:38
DaemonFC[m]Well, maybe.Sep 20 23:38
DaemonFC[m]They have to prove you crossed a state line for the purpose of doing that.Sep 20 23:38
DaemonFC[m]If you crossed the state line to go eat dinner in Hammond and fucked a 16 year old while you were there, but didn't have plans to do so while you were in Illinois, then you're fine.Sep 20 23:39
DaemonFC[m]Confused yet?Sep 20 23:39
MinceRhow do you prove that?Sep 20 23:40
DaemonFC[m]Then there's state and federal laws saying you can fuck em, which entails seeing them naked in person, but if you have a naked picture of them, you will go to prison.Sep 20 23:40
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: Well, they could pull up your grindr chat or something.Sep 20 23:40
DaemonFC[m]And say, "Ah hah! You were planning to have sex with him when he was in Indiana and you were in Illinois!".Sep 20 23:40
DaemonFC[m]They'd ping the cell tower locations and see where you both were at the time Grindr or text messaging logged the messages.Sep 20 23:41
MinceRyou had guilty thoughts in illinoisSep 20 23:41
DaemonFC[m]Pretty much.Sep 20 23:41
DaemonFC[m]You had guilty thoughts in Illinois of doing something that the state of Indiana says is perfectly legal, in Indiana, therefore you are a criminal under federal law.Sep 20 23:41
DaemonFC[m]Government...Sep 20 23:42
DaemonFC[m]Taking a minor across state lines is federal kidnapping.Sep 20 23:42
DaemonFC[m]So don't say "Hey, you're 16, but if we go to Indiana and rent a hotel room....".Sep 20 23:42
DaemonFC[m]You just spared yourself a misdemeanor in Illinois, and committed a federal felony.Sep 20 23:43
DaemonFC[m]There's a million ways to get things done, MinceR And that includes the state when it wants to make a problem for you.Sep 20 23:43
DaemonFC[m]If the right hook don't get ya, the left one will. That sort of thing.Sep 20 23:44
DaemonFC[m]The only thing you can do is try not to break the law, and figure out how to cover your tracks when you aren't breaking the law because it's impossible not to break any laws.Sep 20 23:45
DaemonFC[m]:)Sep 20 23:45
MinceRor get an army and stop caring about what these criminal operations wantSep 20 23:45
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: To make things even worse, the state could turn me into a sexual assault victim against my will.Sep 20 23:45
DaemonFC[m]Even though I'm 35. Sep 20 23:45
DaemonFC[m]You know how?Sep 20 23:46
DaemonFC[m]Find someone I had sex with, willingly, and charge them with "criminal sexual assault / victim can't consent" and say I have bipolar disorder. Sep 20 23:46
DaemonFC[m]They could file that charge against my spouse.Sep 20 23:46
MinceR:>Sep 20 23:47
DaemonFC[m]I managed to thread the needle pretty well.Sep 20 23:47
DaemonFC[m]I used bipolar to hint that we'd bring up diminished capacity if it went to trial and they convicted me.Sep 20 23:47
DaemonFC[m]Then when they included mental health in the probation deal for my disorderly conduct plea bargain, I went to my doctor and asked him to say o probation that I'm doing okay now and I don't need further treatment.Sep 20 23:48
DaemonFC[m]I know what a manic person acts like. I'd just start doing bizarre things at the trial.Sep 20 23:48
DaemonFC[m]I made sure that the last time my doctor saw me before we went to court that I sounded like I was having a crisis and was in a mixed state. Sep 20 23:49
DaemonFC[m]He said he didn't know if he could even keep seeing me and recommended that I check myself in somewhere.Sep 20 23:50
DaemonFC[m]That way my lawyer could bring him in as an expert witness and he'd have to say that I was completely unhinged.Sep 20 23:50
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: If the mind isn't guilty, the act isn't guilty. Sep 20 23:50
DaemonFC[m]The law says "knowingly and with intent". Sep 20 23:50
DaemonFC[m]Then after I tied their case in knots, I finished it off by telling my ex that I couldn't keep making the car payments if I went to jail.Sep 20 23:51
DaemonFC[m]Then after I didn't go to jail, I quit making them anyway.Sep 20 23:51
DaemonFC[m]MinceR: Once people think you're nuts, they really stop taking you seriously, because they think you can't make plans. Sep 20 23:52
DaemonFC[m]I really do have bipolar disorder.Sep 20 23:53
DaemonFC[m]So it's not much of a part to play.Sep 20 23:53
DaemonFC[m]I've been on meds for a while now, but I know exactly what I'm like without the meds.Sep 20 23:53
DaemonFC[m]The state ended up settling for not a hell of a lot and moving on.Sep 20 23:56
