one of the only things ayn rand got right was her talk about cops
off topic: I am looking for a certain kind of chinese stringed instrument, it's like two sets of strings arranged horizontally on a flat board, and you play it almost like a piano but by hitting the strings with two modified drumsticks. Does anyone know what it's called? i can't find it
yangqin
right off the top of your head, nice. thanks
i only know this because i actually enjoy guzheng music
yangqin as well
I spent a large portion of my youth with a hardcore chinaboo taoist learning kung fu
he ahd all kinds of crazy chinese shit laying around and one time he got one of those, it sounded sick but I forgot what it was called
at the time it was just one of a long list of weird chinese pieces I didn't know anything about, next to his weird bone strengthening ointment and lion dance rig
it seems like the way you play it, this would be awesome for rhythm but make intervals challenging
IT'S A HARP
but yeah as for police, the fact that any of them even enforce hate crime laws tells you everything
WHAT CHOICE DO THEY HAVE?
cops are not judges or juries, but they do have the initial choice of whether or not to enforce
THE LAWS ARE MADE BY IDIOTS BUT IT IS THEIR JOB TO ENFORCE THEM
NOT REALLY
THEY ARE LIABLE
for example, I knew a guy who found a nigger in his car sleeping
he went to some party and then afterwards he looked in his car and there was this random nig sleeping in his back seat
and then him and his friend beat him up good and called him a nigger
and the cops got called and they come and ask him what happened
he says "...yeah I found some asshole sleeping in my car so I beat him up and called him a nigger"
the cop says "if you hadn't called him that I woulda let it slide but now it's a hate crime"
he did a year for that
the cop could've let that slide too, but he didn't
he could've pretended he didn't hear
now he has a hard time getting work for the rest of his life
i keep thinking the control they maintain is all illusory
oh it absolutely is
if you really really wanted
there is no law unless there's cops or cameras
you could drive a uhaul truck loaded with ammonium nitrate + fuel oil into a large school and blow it skyward
there's nothing really in place to stop you
yeah, that is the basis of all the systems disruption style terrorism breaking out worldwide, everyone is noticing all at once
primarily muslims
conspiracy theories come from morally complacent people
as if it's unquestionable to consider why someone's biological function means so little to a mad man in such an age
the police are like a sleep guard
don't wake daddy board game
