Dying from alcohol or car accident, probabilities
by Georgi Guninski 14 Mar '18

14 Mar '18

Some non-drinking crowd was rather critical about using alcohol. I am not sure alcohol is more dangerous than car accident. What are the (local) probabilities of dying from: 1. alcohol 2. car accident Since the intersection is not empty, possibly add 0. car accident caused by drunk driver According the interwebs the probability for 2 in california in 2013 is about 1/13K.

alex jones

I never paid much attention to the guy - he seemed mostly a fake libertarian clown (americunt nationalist, jew-christian nutcase) but lately I caught a couple of interesting bits from him. He comments on the idea that technical 'progress' will allow the oligarchy to become some sort of cyborg-like entities with let's say undefined life spans. Jones even mentioned clarke's "childhood's end", which is a rather impressive display of literary knowledge for jew-christian white-trash like him. now, of course, the possibility of technical cyber totalitarianism isn't exactly new. It is well documented in works like Brave New World and 1984. So what role does alex jones play then? well listen to this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAh0r4C6Q2Q it seems that jones' job is to turn reality into a nutcase 'conspiracy theory'. What's really going on is that indeed the oligarchy wants to become 'immortal' and possibly get rid of 90.99999% of the human race. But if that very real possibility is discussed by a nutcase like jones babbling about 'aliens' and 'pedophiles' and '12 dimensions' 'interdimensional stuff' etc then the very real threat of a world government with the ability to track all the microchiped, tax cattle in realtime becomes the 'stuff' that ignorant morons who watch alex jones believe. in short, motherfucking retard alex jones is just controlled opposition.

Milgram "experiment" IRL - Judge repeatedly electroshocks live defendant (for failing to answer a question)
by Zenaan Harkness 13 Mar '18

This is hard to believe, yet true. Milgram would be shaking his head. Unsurprisingly, the defendant in this court case is now appealing. Judge Uses Electroshock in Court on Suspect, like a live Milgram experiment https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-03-12/judge-uses-electroshock-court-sus… Let's keep in mind Steve Kinney's poignant reference last time this conversation (and my sadly ascerbic and vehement dialogue last reared its ugly head): http://www.rachelcorrie.org/march16.htm Rachel Corrie’s 12th Anniversary of Death Rachel Corrie was crushed to death in the southern area of the Gaza Strip on Mach 16, 2003. Rachel expired due to being demolished, and while putting herself in the course of the military bulldozer to shield their house and your family… We can hope that Ms Corrie receives some reparations, although the Israeli "infestigation" was of course cooked before it began...

Hi, dear all... Woohoo, it's Friday!!! The whole week was a stinking sh*t, I have no money, no cats, no dogs, no hamsters, no children, but I am still alive and have glitter, a chance of moving to Russia, and an active Internet connection, yay!!! <3 Well, guys and girls, I would like to share the post of one of my friends, Dominik Joe Pantůček, an adorable guy who loves crypto and music. <https://trustica.cz/2018/02/22/introduction-to-elliptic-curves <https://trustica.cz/2018/02/22/introduction-to-elliptic-curves/>> He wants to teach some basic concepts about some subjects and would appreciate sincere - and non-aggressive! - feedback, please. The problem is I am too noob and limited to give him a decent feedback for now, ouch! ;P Well, in this moment, I am listening to this soundtrack, just in case someone wants to listen to the same music... :) <https://youtu.be/9kAq_mjwN8w> It's very relaxing. I will change the soundtrack soon. I am too lazy and sleepy today. I need something more dancing... Suggestions in private, please? :) Kisses, kisses, and more kisses!!! Wish you all a lovely weekend!!! <3 Ceci <3 ---------- "Don't let anyone rob you of your imagination, your creativity, or your curiosity. It's your place in the world; it's your life.

Hey Jim, just did some research for ya, here's some snippets: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmXoypizjW3WknFiJnKLwHCnL72vedxjQkDDP1mXWo6uco/wiki/Me… Mark Weinstein is the Founder and CEO of MeWe. https://mewe.com/faq We will NEVER give advertisers any information about you personally. >From a computer science and security perspective: - MeWe.com requires JavaScript - a DEFINITE no-no if you value security AT ALL! - MeWe's claim "we will NEVER give your information away" is not backed by anything substantial - if they DON'T sell the company, you can kiss your privacy goodbye. - MeWe has raised millions of dollars, - has been around for a few years, - and STILL does not have a Wikipedia page or any real public profile! - NO technical analysis of the network or its software!
