wow man, you've really given me something to think about. I thought between highly scripting my content, rehearsing beforehand, and generally making a strong effort to make top quality content my video about drunkenly adding a feature to forum software that less than a hundred people use I was going to really come off as charismatic and produce a polished product. But I guess I'm just really not cut out for the youtube celebrity business after all. Another dream I guess I'll never realize. -

Why should I not expect this? That's exactly the same sort of thing as the first first amendment protections. And no one has said anything about total anonymity, the topic is either GDPR consent requirements or DNS registration requirements where such records are kept and available to law enforcement with a warrant but not made public.
Originally posted by Cootehill Is that exactly what that says? I don't agree, but I guess you win a nice gotcha there. Congratulations. Great debate. Really cut down to the core of the matter.
I don't get why you're getting all salty when I point out that you're contradicting yourself. Pick one or the other position and move on instead of playing dumb.Registering something you own in your name is important to assert ownership.
No it's not. I own a coffee maker, I never registered that coffee maker but it belongs to me. Isn't that crazy? Property can exist without public registries? Who would have thought such an complex idea as property could exist without state controlled documentation? What's gonna happen next, we'll start saying people live together without informing the state or you can go for a walk without being in the National Walkers Directory?GDPR will wind up being used against people who do things like publish lists of tax cheats and the like - as with the panama papers. That is the whole point of GDPR, it's not about cookies or email or any of that internet shit, it's about real world money and banking.

Hmm, that's an interesting point. It certainly is important for whistleblowers to be able to operate for a well informed citizenry. Can you think of any examples in recent history of important whistleblowers? If you can, can you recall what and how they were able to publish their documents? Did it perhaps depend on anonymous channels of publication?The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

If I say government spending activity should be public, that doesn't mean that everyone has a right to spend government money.
This is not hard, and this is why I think you are trying to "win" this internet argument by deliberately misinterpreting my words and going to big long arguments.
OK, so then your proposed surveillance won't be public. It's existence will be, but its contents won't. This doesn't really sound accountable to me.
And it really doesn't address the chief concern which has been brought up to you repeatedly: the US has a lengthy history of secretly abusing surveillance capabilities. In light of this how do you think your proposed system of pervasive surveillance will not be abused in exactly the same way the US spy agencies have been abused for the last half century or more?The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Cootehill Honestly I don't know what post you're on about, and I don't really care. I don't even think it's relevant to the argument, just you claiming a "gotcha".
So you know what I'm talking about enough to complain about me talking about it, and to criticize its use in argument, but you don't actually know what I'm talking about and don't really care? It sounds to me like you've embarrassed yourself and are trying get out of simply admitting you were wrong.It's quite common for things to have to be registered at a central authority. Ships come to mind, so do things like radio stations and so forth. In many countries newspapers must be registered, and in some even bloggers.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_regulation
The idea that there is no precedent simply doesn't hold water.
"quite common" no, registration of some things does exist but like I've pointed out a number of times now, the vast majority of property is not subject to a public registry. I've pointed out numerous times how creative works like books or art are not. Why do you think websites fall into the "public need to be registered" class while the majority of forms of human expression do not?Yes, true. It should be better enforced.
So you admit the GDPR essentially overruling the whois requirement changes nothing?Yes, true.
In the EU GDPR goes far beyond the internet and applies to all sorts of bullshit, like CCTV cameras and people's business interactions. I believe the effect it to assist the wealthy to hide their wealth, and increase the atomicity and anonymity of society, which I posit to be bad things as they enable easier exploitation of workers and greater wealth inequality.
Yes, you've told us what you believe the GDRP does, but you've given us no defense of that. Especially the idea that it somehow helps with wealthy over others. How exactly does the GDRP do this? Do you actually think that corporate tracking and data brokering was being used for anything other than making the wealthy wealthier?The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-07-08 at 9:40 PM UTC in Did feds do a sweep?I feel like I've said this really often but TSTM doesn't do anything for you in the case of investigation by law enforcement. With a little work and access to the logs you can reverse the process. I disabled it because I created it when sploo got worried someone was going to find his account and was pleading for me to delete it. Now people just do it from time to time for kicks I guess? It makes old threads annoying to read when two different posters TSTM'd, you can't really tell who's replying to who.
Originally posted by WE SMOOTH I'm sure it's this..
Lanny, if feds didn't do a sweep, declare right now that you will TSTM any nigga that submits a formal request
If someone needs it for the reason it was actually intended for I'l consider manually doing it for their account, but I don't promise to do it in every case.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Rock_N_Rollover I've got one main reason I'm against drugs.
It feeds the rich.
If you do it grow your own.
If you refuse to do something because it benefits the wealthy then the number of things you can do in an industrialized capitalist society is, uhhh, really small. I'm not actually sure you could survive if you stuck to your guns on that one. 99% of jobs are out, taxes are out, car ownership is out, shopping almost anywhere is out. Pretty sure you'd starve in a week.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Sure, I get what you mean, but is there really a meaningful difference between giving your money to the black market to potentially fund illegal wars and paying your taxes to fund just slightly more legal wars?

2018-07-08 at 4:03 AM UTC in Coding At The ParkI've done this before but didn't particularly enjoy it. I mean assuming you can deal with the light issue it's definitely doable, but I've gotten kinda spoiled in terms of equipment so working on just a laptop with no additional monitors or keyboard or mouse isn't fun. Also with parks specifically you may need to tether your phone or something to get internet and the slowness and possibly data charges are a pain.
Overall I'd give park programming a 4/10The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Cootehill Something to do with "watched over by machines of loving grace" would be more relevant, but still - the fact is that I don't want my car window broken when I'm hiking or my laptop stolen while I'm taking a piss has nothing to do with my politics..
It's everything to do with politics when you take up the position that "privacy is an outdated concept". The ideas of surveillance and socialization are intimately related: surveillance is the mechanism by which we detect and punish deviance. I don't think anyone here as presented a position that can be characterized as "absolutist" except you. Some surveillance measures are justified, I have no problem with a beat cop monitoring a public area or search of private property being conducted with a warrant in a system where probable cause actually means something.
It's you who has proposed constant monitoring without cause. You realize even Bentham only proposed the panopticon as something for criminals right?The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Cootehill Privacy is an outdated concept. I would like if everyone was monitored at all times. Think about how much better things would be if you could leave your car or your front door unlocked, or leave your wallet lying on a table in a restaurant while you go to the bathroom, where no one could drunk drive or speed, and where almost all crimes could be solved in an hour or two.
The NSA achieves very little considering its large budget, and that is the sole basis I can imagine criticising it on.
OVERSOCIALIZATION
24. Psychologists use the term “socialization” to designate the process by which children are trained to think and act as society demands. A person is said to be well socialized if he believes in and obeys the moral code of his society and fits in well as a functioning part of that society. It may seem senseless to say that many leftists are oversocialized, since the leftist is perceived as a rebel. Nevertheless, the position can be defended. Many leftists are not such rebels as they seem.
25. The moral code of our society is so demanding that no one can think, feel and act in a completely moral way. For example, we are not supposed to hate anyone, yet almost everyone hates somebody at some time or other, whether he admits it to himself or not. Some people are so highly socialized that the attempt to think, feel and act morally imposes a severe burden on them. In order to avoid feelings of guilt, they continually have to deceive themselves about their own motives and find moral explanations for feelings and actions that in reality have a non-moral origin. We use the term “oversocialized” to describe such people. [2]
26. Oversocialization can lead to low self-esteem, a sense of powerlessness, defeatism, guilt, etc. One of the most important means by which our society socializes children is by making them feel ashamed of behavior or speech that is contrary to society’s expectations. If this is overdone, or if a particular child is especially susceptible to such feelings, he ends by feeling ashamed of HIMSELF. Moreover the thought and the behavior of the oversocialized person are more restricted by society’s expectations than are those of the lightly socialized person. The majority of people engage in a significant amount of naughty behavior. They lie, they commit petty thefts, they break traffic laws, they goof off at work, they hate someone, they say spiteful things or they use some underhanded trick to get ahead of the other guy. The oversocialized person cannot do these things, or if he does do them he generates in himself a sense of shame and self-hatred. The oversocialized person cannot even experience, without guilt, thoughts or feelings that are contrary to the accepted morality; he cannot think “unclean” thoughts. And socialization is not just a matter of morality; we are socialized to conform to many norms of behavior that do not fall under the heading of morality. Thus the oversocialized person is kept on a psychological leash and spends his life running on rails that society has laid down for him. In many oversocialized people this results in a sense of constraint and powerlessness that can be a severe hardship. We suggest that oversocialization is among the more serious cruelties that human beings inflict on one another.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

They are fantasy much like your unicorn.
I don't think you understand what people mean when they talk about rights. Rights, especially rights we consider "fundamental human rights" are not part of an agreement. When one says "we have a fundamental human right to X" there is no need to have agreed to receive X or to avoid infringing on the right of others to X. Our rights as American citizens are not the result of an agreement between us and the state either, as no natural citizen has ever agreed to receive their rights.
You're confusing the question "is it possible for a right to be infringed on?" with the question "do rights exist?". These are very different things.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!
