DaemonFC[m]My guess is that a person like Bill Gates would never be caught because he'd keep it somewhere on local storage and heavily encrypted and never personally transfer anything on a network that could lead back to him if they did trace it to the source. Jul 30 00:15
DaemonFC[m]He seems like a personality type that always covers his tracks, pays off the right people, surrounds himself with people who would never turn on him. I mean, look at Donald Trump. He got caught laundering campaign money to pay to his relatives.Jul 30 00:17
DaemonFC[m]They're all on the campaign payroll and if they say anything, he can take that away from them.Jul 30 00:17
DaemonFC[m]I'm also sure that if anyone does go to prison then a guy like Gates could make sure that they have a random encounter and get found on the floor stabbed to death in the shower one day.Jul 30 00:18
DaemonFC[m]Many criminals hide right in plain sight. Jul 30 00:19
DaemonFC[m]On some level it amuses them that they are breaking the law and the government is far too stupid to ever catch them (until and unless it does). Jul 30 00:19
DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: It's also almost like a drug, right? Shoplifters who could easily pay for things case the store and walk right out with it.Jul 30 00:21
DaemonFC[m]It's not about getting out with whatever they took much of the time, it's that it floods the system with adrenaline. Knowing that any second a police officer standing at the exit who knows everything could grab you. Jul 30 00:22
DaemonFC[m]Then he doesn't. That time. Jul 30 00:22
DaemonFC[m]I'd say that, psychologically, it's also a form of self-harm.Jul 30 00:23
DaemonFC[m]They know that some day they'll get caught and they'll be punished severely. They continue. It's like, why do some people cut themselves? I think it's related.Jul 30 00:23
DaemonFC[m]So there's two types of people who break the law, broadly, when it comes to shoplifting or sex crimes or whatever.Jul 30 00:24
schestowitzthanks for your thoughtsJul 30 00:24
schestowitzI am meanwhile working on "IBM and the Bomb: How IBM Played a Role in the Cold War"Jul 30 00:24
DaemonFC[m]There's people who have a psychological need for self-harm, and there's the ones that are stroking their own ego because they're far too smart to ever be caught and they're too important.Jul 30 00:24
schestowitz[23:43] <schestowitz> > What kind of stuff was redacted?  I suppose they've even gone over thatJul 30 00:26

schestowitz[23:44] <schestowitz> They never responded to me.Jul 30 00:26
DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: I'm more of a lawful neutral type, actually. There's almost always a way to get what you want done that is, strictly speaking, allowed by the rules.Jul 30 00:27
DaemonFC[m]Sometimes that's not what was intended, but it's legal.Jul 30 00:28
DaemonFC[m]I'll push a law to its limit, but no more than that. Jul 30 00:28
DaemonFC[m]I've actually never had a speeding ticket, Roy. Because everyone else will be going 90 on the expressway and I'll be plodding along at 55 or 60 because that's the speed limit.Jul 30 00:29
DaemonFC[m]Nobody else is obeying it, but I do.Jul 30 00:29
DaemonFC[m]Maricel and Mark have each had about half a dozen speeding tickets in Lake County alone, ranging from $160-$300, not counting the fact that your insurance rates go up.Jul 30 00:30
DaemonFC[m]Most of the time the system doesn't catch you, but wouldn't you rather not spend $5,000 over a decade on extra insurance premiums and fines than get somewhere 2 minutes faster?Jul 30 00:31
DaemonFC[m]Also, one time, they pulled over Mark and found out that he had no insurance either. Ouch.Jul 30 00:32
DaemonFC[m]So add another $1,400 fine to the government for that one.Jul 30 00:32
DaemonFC[m]If you are breaking a major law, you really need to be careful how many minor laws you break along the way.Jul 30 00:32
DaemonFC[m]The system is loaded with people who got drug felonies and the cop that pulled them over did so because a blinker was out, they were speeding, they ran a stop sign, or they weren't wearing their seat belt. ]Jul 30 00:33
DaemonFC[m]If you don't attract attention, something small probably won't lead to something big.Jul 30 00:33
DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: I was reading the arrest record for Keller. Jul 30 00:34
DaemonFC[m]He was speeding, which is why he got pulled over.Jul 30 00:34
DaemonFC[m]When he got pulled over, he was in an argument with his wife, who was finished with him, and told the cop that he had a loaded handgun in the car and that he had a trove of CP.Jul 30 00:35
DaemonFC[m]So it wasn't google.Jul 30 00:35
DaemonFC[m]When the cops searched the house, they found hard drives, and on the hard drives and memory sticks, he had a CP trove, and it wasn't just crap from the internet.Jul 30 00:35
DaemonFC[m]He had recorded himself having sex with children in the bedroom and a dog.Jul 30 00:36
DaemonFC[m]Which is where the two sexual assault on a minor and sex with an animal counts came in.Jul 30 00:36
DaemonFC[m]While we'd awaiting 4 felony sex crimes, a felony for unlawful handgun, and a speeding ticket, the police invoked the Civil Asset Forfeiture law and took his SUV to be sold at a Sheriff's Sale because it was used in the commission of a crime (transporting the handgun).Jul 30 00:37
DaemonFC[m]*he'sJul 30 00:37
DaemonFC[m]The Lake County Sheriff noted that the Civil Asset Forfeiture law applied and that they were looking at taking his house too.Jul 30 00:38
DaemonFC[m]Raises money for the county to offset dealing with this guy, and it prevents him from taking out title loans or putting his house up to satisfy the bond. Jul 30 00:39
DaemonFC[m]Since he can't raise money to post bond, he stays in jail and they can offer him a harsher plea deal.Jul 30 00:39
DaemonFC[m]I'd say just have sex with people who want it and are at least 17 (at least in Illinois) and don't video tape it. You should be okay.Jul 30 00:40
DaemonFC[m]I don't really know what's so difficult about it.Jul 30 00:40
DaemonFC[m]I'd really hate being a defense attorney because you'd get people like Keller and have to figure out some kind of a defense for that. What defense is there, really?Jul 30 00:41
DaemonFC[m]On the flip side, you get people who really didn't do it and the state doesn't care. Jul 30 00:43
DaemonFC[m]Again, though, like a lot of this could be avoided if people just didn't record themselves doing something to savor it and then have someone turn on them and go to the cops.Jul 30 00:44
schestowitzI will soon publish this:Jul 30 00:44
DaemonFC[m]Without the videos, it's like "The bitch is lying. Prove it!" and they can't. Jul 30 00:44
schestowitzSummary: With Epstein files set to be released soon (Gates and Epstein were extremely close) we’re gratified to say that we have all the material about Mr. Jones, the engineer of Bill Gates who stockpiling a lot of child pornography and child rape footageJul 30 00:45
schestowitzHOURS ago we received what the police in Seattle claims to be everything it has on this case. The Police Department (SPD) was asked again to assure us that this was everything and it confirmed. “The Epstein files are going to be unsealed soon,” a reader has told us, so we’re likely to resume on this subject some time later this year. At the moment we’re studying some IBM history and will be focusing on that over the coming daysJul 30 00:45
schestowitz A lot of that history predates the Web and even the Internet (history of IBM is over a century old!), but national archives can still be accessed, at least partly. We’re doing the best we can to assess the material and get the facts. █Jul 30 00:45
DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: This series Upload got me thinking. They have all these memories the minute someone gets uploaded at the time of their death. So if the person ever committed a crime, obviously there'd be a recording of it in their mind. Jul 30 00:46
schestowitzI don't care much for filmsJul 30 00:47
schestowitzwhen I was younger I had two tech fantasies:Jul 30 00:47
DaemonFC[m]Obviously, if you know you committed a crime, you'll never say anything about it again if you're smart, but what would such a system do? Refuse to Upload? Legally, in this future, you're still alive because your consciousness can be simulated accurately. Jul 30 00:47
schestowitz1) somethine like Google StreetViewJul 30 00:47
schestowitzThat was about a decade before it existedJul 30 00:47
DaemonFC[m]Rot in simulated prison for eternity? Jul 30 00:48
schestowitzbut that turned out to be a surveillance thingJul 30 00:48
schestowitz2) something like the Upload you mentionJul 30 00:48
schestowitza sort of devices for recording one's own dayJul 30 00:48
schestowitzGoogle tries it with CCTV GlassesJul 30 00:48
schestowitzagain, surveillance machineJul 30 00:48
schestowitzPrior to Google Microsoft researched this type of stuffJul 30 00:48
schestowitzlike journaling one's life, day, routine...Jul 30 00:48
DaemonFC[m]That HoloLens thing?Jul 30 00:48
schestowitzSounds like something a megalomaniac (like Gates) would wantJul 30 00:49
schestowitzhe has people taking notes at the dinner table to patent ideas that come up... that's how mentally sick he isJul 30 00:49
DaemonFC[m]Yeah, in this series they mention that.Jul 30 00:49
schestowitz(God complex)Jul 30 00:49
schestowitzHoloLens is differentJul 30 00:49
DaemonFC[m]They tried to "download" one of their uploads into an android body so that he could be back in the real world forever.Jul 30 00:50
schestowitzWe're taking about something like 2004Jul 30 00:50
schestowitzanyway, those are 2 things I wantedJul 30 00:50
DaemonFC[m]But he paid them $4 billion dollars to try it and the android went nuts and died after a few seconds.Jul 30 00:50
schestowitzI still have my PDA archives to help me look back at what I did each dayJul 30 00:50
schestowitzEmail helps alsoJul 30 00:50
schestowitzso you can roughly go back in time and reconstruct eventsJul 30 00:50
DaemonFC[m]Could you imagine a world where Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Elon Musk never die just because they're rich?Jul 30 00:50
DaemonFC[m]Bad future.Jul 30 00:50
schestowitzNot that you ever will, it's time consuming and offers little/no benefitJul 30 00:51
schestowitzDaemonFC[m]: they will die sooner than you thinkJul 30 00:51
schestowitzfirst the brain goesJul 30 00:51
schestowitzBill's dad has had dementia for 2-3 yearsJul 30 00:51
DaemonFC[m]In my opinion, the law should change at that point. Either everyone should have to die or nobody should.Jul 30 00:51
schestowitznot sure if it means he'll do more evil or less evilJul 30 00:52
schestowitzseeinng demented Trump doing lots of damageJul 30 00:52
schestowitzJobs died younger than Gates is nowJul 30 00:52
DaemonFC[m]They've been working on Alzheimer's research for years. It's like HIV/AIDS.Jul 30 00:52
DaemonFC[m]It's a money pit and it stalled out a long time ago.Jul 30 00:52
schestowitzGates is being exposed more and more these daysJul 30 00:52
schestowitzand it lowers his changes of being effective with political leverageJul 30 00:53
schestowitzpeople can trade back lots of bribes he gaveJul 30 00:53
DaemonFC[m]Gates says he wanted to solve AIDS and it's no closer to being a solved problem now than it was in 1995. Jul 30 00:53
schestowitzso I don't worry >too< much or only about himJul 30 00:53
schestowitzthe problem is a lot broader nowJul 30 00:53
schestowitzGates wants to solve nothingJul 30 00:53
schestowitzhe wants to profitJul 30 00:53
DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: There is a good point my mom mentioned, of all people.Jul 30 00:53
schestowitz"solving" things is how he MARKETS itJul 30 00:53
schestowitzit's about money and powerJul 30 00:53
DaemonFC[m]She said the HIV/AIDS problem will never go away even if the prevention method is free for everyone.Jul 30 00:54
DaemonFC[m]Because you can prevent it cheaply now and people just don't.Jul 30 00:54
schestowitzlike measlesJul 30 00:54
schestowitzand antivaxxers who spread itJul 30 00:54
schestowitzbrbJul 30 00:54
DaemonFC[m]It's like "unwanted pregnancy". Everyone knows how you get pregnant.Jul 30 00:54
schestowitzI need to go for a bitJul 30 00:55
DaemonFC[m]They fuck with no contraception and they get pregnant, 5 times.Jul 30 00:55
DaemonFC[m]<schestowitz "and antivaxxers who spread it"> I asked a pharmacist if they recommended a second MMR for adults.Jul 30 00:55
DaemonFC[m]She said generally, no.Jul 30 00:55
DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: I got Mandy vaccinated against like half a dozen things last year. Because they don't have mass vaccination campaigns in the Philippines.Jul 30 00:56
DaemonFC[m]His sister is  nurse and didn't bother, even though his insurance paid for most of it.Jul 30 00:57
XRevan86https://youtu.be/yw8a8n7ZAZg – they didn't lie, did theyJul 30 00:57
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Why the US has so many Filipino nurses - YouTubeJul 30 00:57
DaemonFC[m]But one of her own patients on Yelp for Cancer Treatment Centers of America and say Maricel "or Marisol" is incompetent and shouldn't be a nurse. Jul 30 00:58
DaemonFC[m]XRevan86: There's a nursing shortage that's so bad that they'll take any kind of fuck-up you can mention. Some of them even steal narcotics and get fired and get a job as a nurse somewhere else.Jul 30 00:59
DaemonFC[m]You don't even have to be all that intelligent, really.Jul 30 00:59

DaemonFC[m]If I had a dollar for every horror story that I've heard about a nurse, I'd have my own private island.Jul 30 01:00
XRevan86DaemonFC[m]: To think that a country with the most expensive healthcare in the world would have that kind of problem…Jul 30 01:00
DaemonFC[m]So Filipino Nurse Ratched isn't really a surprise, I guess.Jul 30 01:00
DaemonFC[m]<XRevan86 "DaemonFC: To think that a countr"> Just because it's expensive doesn't mean that the $3 million a year CEO isn't looking for ways to cheap out. In many cases, there's not more than 1-2 hospital networks in your region and often not more than 1.Jul 30 01:01
DaemonFC[m]Where are you going to go?Jul 30 01:01
DaemonFC[m]The CEO of Parkview Hospital networks in Indiana used to be one of their janitors.Jul 30 01:02
DaemonFC[m]Now he makes almost $4 million a year.Jul 30 01:02
XRevan86DaemonFC[m]: Just a wee bit ironic is all. I get it, I'm in Russia, after all.Jul 30 01:03
DaemonFC[m]They try to cover up their extreme greed by saying they have a "charity care" program where they can forgive your bill to an extent based on income.Jul 30 01:03
XRevan86Fables go about how extremely expensive Moscow is.Jul 30 01:03
DaemonFC[m]In 2009, after the $15,000 ER visit (3 hours) due to seizures, they said they'd waive the bill if I applied for Medicaid and got turned down.Jul 30 01:03
XRevan86Still doesn't quite live up to that.Jul 30 01:04
DaemonFC[m]So I applied for Medicaid and took the denial letter to the billing department, and they refused to write it off, and turned me over to a collection agency.Jul 30 01:04
DaemonFC[m]XRevan86: I occasionally still got letters about things _like_ that up through this year.Jul 30 01:04
DaemonFC[m]One of them was "You didn't pay your bill in 2008 and 2011, so we added interest and doubled it.".Jul 30 01:05
DaemonFC[m]That was all too old to get sued over, but I listed them all as creditors in my bankruptcy since I was filing anyway.Jul 30 01:05
DaemonFC[m]Now it's illegal for them to even call me or send me a letter about it.Jul 30 01:05
DaemonFC[m]If they do, I can petition the court to reopen the bankruptcy case, and file an Adversarial Proceeding against them.Jul 30 01:06
DaemonFC[m]They'll get fined by the court, and then I can use that ruling to sue the collection agency in state court.Jul 30 01:06
DaemonFC[m]It's illegal for them to try to collect on a debt that they know is invalid, and bankruptcy made the debt invalid.Jul 30 01:07

DaemonFC[m]I remember one of them where I amused myself by taking away his essential flag and then finding a nice steep hill to look from and kept telling the game to spawn him. It kept spawning him and that one would scream and fall to his death.Jul 30 04:03

schestowitz"Jul 30 12:18
schestowitzFor years, the U.S. nuclear program has faced "low morale, understaffing and equipment shortages," NPR's Geoff Brumfiel has reported. He said that in 2014, reports came to light that "three nuclear bases had only one special wrench that's needed to put nuclear warheads on missiles." They had to share the wrench between bases — but apparently each base later got its own wrench.Jul 30 12:18
schestowitzAt the time, Geoff pointed out some of the complications that come with a major weapons system "constantly on alert, but ... very unlikely [to ever] be used":Jul 30 12:18
schestowitz    "Frankly, it's easy for the leadership to forget about the missiles and the people responsible for them. And it's easy for those people to sort of get bored and get themselves into trouble. On top of all this, we have a much bigger problem coming down the road. The weapons themselves are aging. The submarines, the bombers, the missiles — they're all going to have to be replaced."Jul 30 12:18

DaemonFC[m]I'm getting more junk mail from the governor's PAC to remind me to vote.Jul 30 18:05
DaemonFC[m]<kingoffrance "DaemonFC, i thought the whole po"> The law just gives the government an excuse to harass whoever they want.Jul 30 18:05
DaemonFC[m]If you bend a law the right way, everyone is a criminal of some sort.Jul 30 18:06
DaemonFC[m]They'd prefer that people didn't know that or think like that.Jul 30 18:06
DaemonFC[m]Once you know that you're probably committing crimes regardless of what you do, your focus will naturally be to proactively prevent them from catching you.Jul 30 18:07
DaemonFC[m]Being reactive is just too dangerous. By the time you're reacting to criminal charges, it's too late and the prosecutor is just going to come up with a plea deal that's barely enough for most people to not go to court and waste his time. Then he can push through more cases per day.Jul 30 18:08
DaemonFC[m]If everyone demanded their right to a jury trial, the entire system would fall apart. Individually, you have no reason to do that because it won't crash the system and you'll just be bringing more trouble down on top of yourself.Jul 30 18:09
DaemonFC[m]The government has an upper hand because nobody, individually, has a strong incentive to fight it.Jul 30 18:10

DaemonFC[m]That being said, you can minimize the value of the prosecutor's assets, but this too can be viewed as a crime.Jul 30 18:11
DaemonFC[m]Talking to the state's witnesses about why it would not be in their interest for bad things to happen to you is called witness tampering. Even if it is true and you won't make those bad things happen.Jul 30 18:12
DaemonFC[m]For example, let's say that a woman's husband beats her, and she calls the police and demands that he be arrested.Jul 30 18:13
DaemonFC[m]Later, he posts bail and, well, first the judge probably issued a no contact order. So it's a crime to even talk to her. But let's say he does, and he says, "Now you know as well as I do that I make 2/3rds of the money in our household. If I go to prison, nobody wins here, because the mortgage won't be paid and the Sheriff will be out in 3 or 4 months when the bank takes the house back to make sure you leave. Also,Jul 30 18:15
DaemonFC[m]nobody is going to buy the baby its formula and diapers.".Jul 30 18:15

DaemonFC[m]Now if it doesn't find out because it worked, and she goes to his defense attorney and says "I changed my mind and I think we can work this out. It was a misunderstanding. We've been married 20 years and this has never happened, and I think counseling can be arranged.".Jul 30 18:17
DaemonFC[m]They go to the prosecutor and the prosecutor goes "Shit. If I put her on the stand, she's not going to say what I want her to!".Jul 30 18:17
DaemonFC[m]So he'll get suspicious, and he'll say, "Ma'am, has your husband contacted you?" and of course she'll say "No, he hasn't. I just came to my senses.".Jul 30 18:17
DaemonFC[m]Then the prosecutor hangs up. His deal was going to be a year in jail and some probation when the guy gets out.Jul 30 18:18
DaemonFC[m]Instead it's a fine and anger management counseling.Jul 30 18:18
DaemonFC[m]<kingoffrance ":/"> Yeah, I saw something like this happen when I was in court. Some woman told the judge she didn't want the no contact order that the judge had just given her because the guy wouldn't be sending money for the baby.Jul 30 18:19

DaemonFC[m]Maybe not entirely, but you could get a better plea deal. It's the state that brings the charges. Technically, they don't have to call those witnesses if they think they'll do more damage than it's worth, but at that point, the defense will.Jul 30 18:23

DaemonFC[m]Mike Madigan mocked them. "Oh you're the people from the 'policy institute', right?" and he did quotation fingers and laughed.Jul 30 22:08
DaemonFC[m]They weren't happy.Jul 30 22:08
DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: The probation officer said that I seemed fairly intelligent. I told her thanks, but I couldn't own up to all of that.Jul 30 22:43
DaemonFC[m]She asked why. I said, "Because I generally base my actions predicting the most pessimistic outcome and the most base and selfish behavior possible from all the other parties involved in a transaction. I can see how that would make me appear to be a Cassandra.".Jul 30 22:44
kingoffrancelolJul 30 22:45
DaemonFC[m]I am a Cassandra. I had Maricel pegged for what she was 8 months before anyone else would believe me. Kept saying "Don't do that. This is what she is. Here's what she will do.".Jul 30 22:45
kingoffrancewell yeah thats the point of being a cassandra you arent believedJul 30 22:46
DaemonFC[m]I told Mandy, "We have to keep her in the dark on what your employment situation is or she's going to shake us down.".Jul 30 22:46
DaemonFC[m]So he gets on the phone and tells her, and he has his sister blackmail him for his Walmart money.Jul 30 22:46
DaemonFC[m]She didn't even wait five seconds.Jul 30 22:46
*psymin has quit (Quit: Leaving)Jul 30 22:47
DaemonFC[m]Then when he says "We're a little broke at the moment and Ryan needs to get this bankruptcy out of the way.". She has a nuclear meltdown, disowns him, and smokes the tires to some shifty immigration lawyer and has them draw up papers to try to ruin our immigration case.Jul 30 22:47
DaemonFC[m]<kingoffrance "well yeah thats the point of bei"> Never have been.Jul 30 22:48
DaemonFC[m]Not by the cops. Not by my mom. Not by my husband.Jul 30 22:48
DaemonFC[m]Then when they do believe you, it's either already too late to do anything about it, or they don't do anything useful with the heads up.Jul 30 22:49
DaemonFC[m]That's why the sooner you get used to nobody believing you and just jump straight to planning to unfuck yourself from whatever they've stupidly gone and done, the better.Jul 30 22:50
psydreadI have a pretty good understanding about these things with my mom and one of my sisters, but  agree it can be hard to make them follow throughJul 30 22:52
DaemonFC[m]kingoffrance: I find that it's best to just not tell people what they shouldn't do. If they don't know what they shouldn't do then they will never start thinking about doing it because I told them not to do it. Jul 30 22:52
psydreadI've become particularly good at noticing and excluding narcissists from my life the moment I realise what they are and am ruthless when it comes to doing soJul 30 22:53
DaemonFC[m]It took me forever to figure that out. It's possible that telling Mandy not to tell his sister all of that gave him the idea to mention at least some of it.Jul 30 22:53
psydreadit just takes them longer to come to the same conclusionJul 30 22:54
DaemonFC[m]I just changed my phone number. If she's still going crazy, it's over text message to someone who got a new phone number recently.Jul 30 22:54
DaemonFC[m]Maybe they'll tell her to shut the fuck up.Jul 30 22:54
psydreadmaybe he just doesn't realise that his own flesh and blood could be such an evil personJul 30 22:54
DaemonFC[m]That was my mom's guess.Jul 30 22:55
*GNUmoon (~GNUmoon@gateway/tor-sasl/gnumoon) has joined #techrightsJul 30 22:55
psydreadmy cousin wrote me some shit 2 years ago and I told her never to contact me againJul 30 22:56
psydreadbut that's after being conditioned all of my life and only coming to terms with the true nature of people a few years agoJul 30 22:57
DaemonFC[m]Well, the only thing that might keep people in line is what they have to lose. Jul 30 22:57
psydreadand it's like some switch goes off in your headJul 30 22:57
DaemonFC[m]I know so much about her that I could cause some serious legal issues if I went and spilled my guts.Jul 30 22:57
DaemonFC[m]If this immigration thing doesn't go well, that'll be my next move.Jul 30 22:58
DaemonFC[m]<psydread "and it's like some switch goes o"> Seeing the same behavior from many people over years. Never anything good.Jul 30 23:41
*mmu_man has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds)Jul 30 23:43
