I should note that all I did was quote from Soon-Yi’s wikipedia page.

Was that before or after you downvoted all my comments on other threads you could reach?

I spread no lies; I have screenshots of everything, including your massive spray of angry frustrated downvotes. I also have my entire comment history to demonstrate my character, even though you’ve only personally just started with it.

But the again, I’m no pedophile apologist feeling viscerally threatened because someone calls out what kiddie diddlers do in the shadows.

Clicky, clicky, downvote here, downvote there. Did it make you feel better?

God that is funny. I consider it a badge of honor that I pissed you off enough for you to downvote two full pages of my comment history. What, you thought downvotes are super sekrit because you’re on lemmy.world and they’re hidden here? Lol. Best get to work, though, because you have over 1200 more of my comments to downvote before I will really feel it.

Best get busy. I might even post more before this day is through.

EDITED TO ADD Imgur link: https://imgur.com/a/I6QUrtx

Hmm, okay. Not what I expected, but yeah, I can at least see it. Thanks for answering.

Also, I’m about to delete my comments in regard to this. Your wisdom in not going there was greater than my own, lol.

Got a face like a deflated waterbed, that one.

Two month old account, all trollish whataboutery, bothsidesing, pro-Russia/anti-Ukraine: what are the chances ol’ index over here is getting paid per post? In rubles?

Blocked, and good riddance.

I don’t have to make anything up, and I note that you did not post a single word of what Mia Farrow or Ronan Farrow had to say about it either.

Posting one side of a very heated and ongoing family squabble does not an adequate rebuttal make.

4 day old account, most of it comments like this, probably getting paid in rubles. Block that shit if you value your reading time.

Yes, exactly. Paul and Linda came to visit John when he was living with May Pang in LA, according to her documentary, and there was other sporadic contact after the breakup, but not hostile.

If memory serves the whole breakup thing was because they had been working almost non-stop for ages, and then the catalyst was that Allen Klein (who was a truly sketch individual even by the most generous accounts) got involved with their management, and that just pushed it all too far.

But they never hated each other, McCartney and Lennon had been friends literally since childhood. They were just hurt and angry, and surrounded by users who stood to make coin by capitalizing on their own specific individual relationships with band members, like Klein.

Out of curiosity, what would you consider his masterpieces? Sleeper was pretty cool, in its day (the whole “orgasmatron” idea was pretty cool for my young sensibilities) but I really couldn’t get into anything else. Maybe I just missed the good ones?

Polanski raped a child.

Multiple children. A number of other now adult women have later accused Polanski of raping them when they were teenagers. Right now he’s back in legal trouble right now for another, earlier victim that has now come forward. Not sure what it will accomplish as it’s a civil trial, he doesn’t have to come back for it, but at least this accuser will get her day in court, and if she wins she can garnish/levy any US assets he may hold or generate.

And Woody Allen . . . he was never that good anyway, and now I can’t stand to look at him. Setting aside any he-said/she-said for the sake of discussion (I believe Dylan) he married his step-daughter, the woman that he acted as father to throughout most of her childhood. If that’s not disgusting on the face of it, I don’t know what is. Yes, they are both adults now – but he was an adult for decades longer than she was, and one wonders if emotionally she’s ever even gotten the chance to get that far.

You’re not wrong. Clearly Texas does have at least one juvenile facility – the one where he was taken for evaluation – but why they’re not keeping him there is not evident.

Clearly the family is not up to the challenge; they can’t even keep their own guns secured. If the authorities do not intervene now, this kid is just going to keep going. Juvies and jails are like finishing schools. He’ll come out of it not actually better, just better at it. The 20th century is full of examples of the utter failure of penal systems for turning around a bad start, from Clyde Barrow to Charles Manson .

This kid is already well on his way to a full lifetime of similar behavior:

The boy is being held in juvenile detention for threatening a student on a bus in another incident earlier this month . . . after sheriff’s deputies were contacted on April 12 of this year about a student who threatened to assault and kill another student on a school bus.

I have Foxit installed and can usually use that, but am forced to have Adobe Reader installed for other reasons.

Adobe Reader will now never be updated on my machine. It’s a small price to pay. And Foxit is great for most pdf tasks.

Yeah, this is just the opening salvo; the actual hearing is on Monday. But NY state law on both the payment of judgements and what constitutes an actual surety is clear, and Letitia James is just quietly locking every door around this fool with it, whether he knows it or not.

As the representative of the winning party in the original lawsuit, Letitia James already has the right to decline any surety under NY state law. But this filing and others before it demonstrate that she’s going out of her way to create an actual legal basis for the repeated rejection of this non-existent surety, just to ensure Trump’s play is ultimately unwinnable.

He’s already just another defendant who can’t pay and Ms. James is not fooled. She’s keeping her eye on the real ball legally and not getting distracted by his never-ending shouts of “Squirrel!”

The actual hearing is on Monday. Should be interesting.

There was a point not so long ago where Adobe Collaboration Sync got so bad on my Windows 10 box it wouldn’t let me close any pdfs that were open. “File in use” error, even if all Adobe programs were closed except for that pdf. I’d have to go into Task Manager and manually kill it. Between that and Adobe Updater I couldn’t get rid of it by any known means, and it was choking the shit out of my machine.

I’m transitioning to Linux but not there yet, still need the Windows box for now, so I had to do something. But I’m old school, so it was a DOS batch file to the rescue. I call it “kiladobe.bat”:

taskkill /f /im armsvc.exe       
del "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\ARM\1.0\armsvc.exe"      
taskkill /f /im AdobeCollabSync.exe     
del "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\AdobeCollabSync.exe"      

It’s now a scheduled task in taskschd.msc. I put kiladobe.bat in the main Adobe program folder (heh) and run that task as administrator at startup and every four hours or so, give or take an hour.

No more problems.

Now, all that remains is that every so often I see the command window flash up for a split second because this batch file is killing Adobe shit, and it just makes me smile. (I could probably make it stop flashing up the CLI, but I genuinely enjoy the reminder of how I’m fucking Adobe’s virus-like install and lock endeavors up the ass.)

EDITED TO ADD a simple “@echo off” by itself as the first line would probably turn off any appearance of the CLI, if anyone wants to use this text for their own batch file. If that didn’t work I’d probably throw a space and a “>nul” at the end of each line to grab the output and throw it into neverneverland.

Yeah. Other have posted the links as well, but if you search on the title text you quickly come across this guy’s substack and the actual manifesto.

The sad thing is that he seems to have started off as a fairly legit investigative researcher, or was trying to become one, but fell off the rails somewhere along the line.

I had to stop reading the manifesto when he alleged that covid was created by the government, but when he starts off with “an apocalyptic fascist world coup” is in the making, I’m not entirely certain he’s wrong: even the most broken of clocks is right twice a day. Whether by design or by accident, we are on the brink of WWIII and total environmental collapse. For him to assert a conspiracy is not nearly as crazy as many will want to insist in days to come, not least because both fascism and apocalypse are nearer now than they have even been in our lifetimes. What’s so crazy to think that some sociopaths in power looked at that and thought, hmm, we can make some coin here, and then did so?

I’m just sorry he had enough faith in humanity left to think that his self-immolation would change a goddamn thing, or even make anyone question the road we are collectively headed down. And I mean that. To write as he did and act as he did, his world was full of suffering – and if he lives, it will be 100 times worse, and still not have accomplished what he would have wanted, or even come close. His life was, in itself, worth far more than the fiery altar he threw it upon today.
