Go where, to do what?

"X, that I've been thinking about for the past Y days."

No, because you didn't, I dunno, TELL me you wanted to go do X, Y days ago.  Just because YOU'VE been thinking it doesn't mean you've let ME in on your little plan.  I'm not telepathic!


The worst part:  This is a close relative, and I can see the exact same mental processes in myself, even though I hate it when they're done to me.  Sometimes I simply can't differentiate between: 'I have thought' and 'I have said'.

That literally sounds like every single conversation I've had with now x girlfriends, with them being the one "thinking shit".  One would have thought based on the volume of shit that they actually did say that they'd have spilled the beans on what they were thinking...........but NOPE!  Apparently they hadn't even scratched the surface.  I once moved and deleted an x's number because she accused me of cheating on her in her dream.  The sad part was she was really, really, really hot looking.  Unfortunately I'm allergic to crazy.

Twitter suspending my account for 'threats of violence and harassment'.

 

On Stephen Colbert's account someone on his team tweeted about how Stephen Miller's head would look good on a spike.  I retweeted it and I swapped Stephen Miller's name with Stephen Colbert's.  I quoted them and switched word order; that's it.  Aaaand the original tweet from Colbert's account is gone.  How 'bout dat?

There's a reason you won't catch me dead on Twatter.  Seriously that platform and its developers can go fuck themselves.  Parler is better anyways.

The only reason I was there was to follow the President, my Senators and Representatives, the Governor and the RNC.  Don't care about anything else since the majority is plebeian pablum or outright media lies.  It's TYT levels of stupidity.

 

The Windows 10 desktop app for Parler doesn't work right and the only time I turn on my phone is when I need it, so that will have to wait.  I got along just fine before I started using Twitter so I'm not gonna miss it.  I just find hysterically hypocritical that they suspended my account for retweeting something the original poster didn't get suspended for.

Lets not forget said restriction are applied only to people who are anti left.

Hundred people in the church are big no-no, thousands of blm/antifa shits rioting in the streets are ok.

I read "anti left" and think 'those that are against the left' I don't think local churches and businesses oppose them (even if they should imho) no... I think the left is anti-them.

 

but yes, double standards and all...

You're intentionally obfuscating the point.  I'll clear it up for you; people ignoring lockdown orders means there are lockdown orders in place.  People telling the government 'Fuck you and fuck your lockdown' isn't the issue; the lockdowns themselves are....because they don't work and people are rightfully sick of the media, politicians and woke knobs pretending that a virus with a 99.998% survival rate is some kind of modern era black fucking plague.

[Mr. Otaku]

This whole mask hysteria perfectly captures the lack of critical thinking in society and a massive failure of the education system. Too many people don't realize that most of the deaths from this virus has been due to it accelerating existing comorbidities, it's not like ebola where you're pretty much guaranteed a hellish fate if you catch it. I don't think the shit they sell at Walmart will prevent you from corona on a consistent basis, otherwise many cases of staunch mask wearers getting infected wouldn't be occurring. Like already stated, the rules are not being applied consistently either, otherwise Antifa and other politically correct groups of people wouldn't be gathering in crowds for bullshit reasons, apparently they're exempt from COVID spreads eh?

 

When someone says "Well it's just a mask why do you have such a problem wearing one" that's clear indication of missing the whole point. Wearing a mask wouldn't kill someone unless they're heavily athematic and forgot their inhaler at home. But it's the popularization of misinformation that buying a cheap mask will prevent spread of a "really dangerous and deadly virus that totally kills perfectly healthy people on the daily" that is the main problem. Personally i don't really care if someone decides to wear masks all the time, it doesn't affect me and i don't give a single shit about them if i'm being blunt. But it is annoying when dumbasses give lectures about how apparently i'm an evil science denier who doesn't care about social safety. Yes because closing down the economy and causing exorbitant national losses is such a boon for social safety.

 

Bottom line, this whole corona bullshit can't end soon enough. I'm tired of this already.

I think some people need to listen to this again... 

 

You may say that mask laws are not the same thing as purchasing smut at some store, but it sort of is... the politicians/media like to make it look similar, take the first few seconds of this video:

This reminded me of a suspicion I've had for years now. I believe Law enforcement allows some leeway, or slack in strictly enforcing certain laws. I like to use Traffic laws as an example. Speeding and improper driving are all too common an occurrence. I've watched police driving their merry way as if oblivious to the minor infractions going on around them. I try to understand this as not simply laziness - but instead what is to gain?

 

Allowing people to feel comfortable with infringing the laws ever so slightly will give them confidence it's okay to do so. Then when 95% of the citizens are in violation it becomes very easy to stop, detain, or otherwise legally impose some will upon these offenders for what ever reason they choose to. I'm sure most are familiar with the 5 mph over the speed limit 'unsaid' rule.... 

 

Using this concept I began to see other things similarly. Entrapment is common but must not be obvious. 'Let them dig their own graves' is quite appropriate.

Yes, this is absolutely a thing, and it's true.  Law enforcement absolutely gets leeway (and sometimes a LOT), at least in this country, about what to enforce and what not to enforce. 

 

However, there's another side to it.

I have a long time friend who became a police officer two or three years ago, and he has pointed out on multiple occasions that the system is broken.  Specifically, with regards to things like drunk driving (but also 'INSERT THING HERE'), where they are REQUIRED to do all this work, put in hours of paperwork, and then, what happens?  The person takes it to some lower level court and that court just tosses it out arbitrarily.  Sometimes, it's simply case load.  The court has so much shit to deal with that they look at this one incident, that the officer was REQUIRED to do, and spent hours writing the report, and because there are just so many of them, the court just throws it out. 

Why would a police officer, after seeing this happen time and again, NOT get to the point of saying "They've thrown out X% of the times I've attempted to enforce the law on this before, therefore they're likely to do it again.  Fuck it, I'm NOT wasting my time on this shit anymore!"

And then there's worse.  One of the reasons I walked away from the medical field was understanding that my medical reports were legal documents.  I ran into the Catch 22 of "If you didn't write it, legally, you didn't do it, it doesn't matter what you actually did.  Oh, but also don't put TOO much information in, because some lawyer can use it to crucify you in court, should it ever end up in court."

Fact:  Those interpreting the law have two massive advantages over those dealing with the law every day.

1. Years of study of the specifics.
2. Days, months, even YEARS worth of time to dig apart every little detail of a situation, in perfect comfort, where the guy at the front end, with NO specific in depth knowledge of the law, had literally seconds, if that, to make a decision, often in less than ideal conditions, and it damn well better be the right decision, OR ELSE (and you won't like ELSE, trust me on that)!

So sure, as usual the idea goes: Tell me that LE is bad, but don't bother looking into how they got to the point of thinking the way they think.  There are bad ones, but there are an awful lot of good ones who, like politicians, got sucked into a fucked up system and ended up with a choice: Assimilate or get the fuck out.

Then there's power.  I've had police pull power trips on me, too.  It's not like it doesn't happen.  The only correct response is "Yes sir, yes sir" (Three bags full - of BULLSHIT, buddy!), but you can't call them out on it.  They have the law to hold over your head, and financial ruin if you wish to challenge them.  Oh, and guns.  They can just kill you if they want, as well.  They'll also make sure, in most cases, to disarm you, the legally armed citizen, in most cases, "for their safety".   But fuck YOUR safety.  

Absolutely, go trust LE to the ends of the earth!

They are an agent of The State, and The State doesn't give a shit about private citizens.  They care about the BIG money that pays their paychecks.

Exactly. One of your rights is that you have no rights. Got a problem with that talk to a lawyer. They get paid for that.

Because despite what retarded teenaged edgelords might think, politics influences everything in our lives and is incredibly important.

Especially now, given the leftist assault on basic Western values like free speech.

[GimmeBACON]

Well apparently 10% of twitter posts 80% of their content... so the people who pander to the twitterati mob literally are pandering to the minority. I think that if sites like FB and twitter lost their 230 protection or would have to actually be impartial to opposing views, that'd be the end of the lefts garbage.

 

... of course, some powerful interest groups gain power from keeping the status quo in effect, so I doubt that things would get better under "somebody"
