ricky @rickyflows.com · 09/12/2024We didn’t have to wait long. Looks like Penny is fully acquitted and Luigi will almost certainly be convicted. Justice ? 000
ricky @rickyflows.com · 08/12/2024Sounds like you don’t like the argument that Penny is post-facto more justified bc the jury acquitted his manslaughter charge. To me that’s a huge difference between the two cases. No jury would acquit the CEO assassin 000
ricky @rickyflows.com · 07/12/2024Thinking on a spectrum, to me the Neely case looks closer to self defense than the CEO assassination case 000
ricky @rickyflows.com · 07/12/2024I can appreciate that a strong need for self defense is a valid reason to kill. What do you think of Neely's behavior on the subway? Multiple witnesses reported him screaming about death and lunging at passengers including a mother and child. Definitely terrifying but not yet physically violent 100
ricky @rickyflows.com · 06/12/2024In the Penny case the mentally ill guy was instigating and scaring the people around him. He was seemingly not in control of himself. It strikes me as a different type of “getting killed” 010
ricky @rickyflows.com · 30/11/2024Be6+ looks like it’ll win you the b2 pawn, (if Kh8 then Rd2). The resulting position looks winning since you should be able to trade the rook for pawn + bishop and end up in a winning King and pawn endgame. Idk if there’s something more direct 130
ricky @rickyflows.com · 28/11/2024my package manager has been fubar'd for months, it's time to face my problems head on 120
ricky @rickyflows.com · 26/11/2024Drug use vs not strikes me as a difference of degree of homelessness. I don't think it introduces any new issues that aren't already there. The unpleasantness isn't minor, that's too dismissive. I would call it bearable 030
ricky @rickyflows.com · 26/11/2024Lots of things. The smell and the mess. Witnessing suffering. Becoming inured. Other people's reactions to the unpleasantness. 130
ricky @rickyflows.com · 26/11/2024A generous definition is unambiguously passing a poetry-based Turing test 010
ricky @rickyflows.com · 26/11/2024Lately the SEC has been suing companies for communicating internally over text messages in order to encourage them all to use emails so the penalizations are easier to carry out 010
ricky @rickyflows.com · 26/11/2024I see where you’re coming from. It shows restraint from the state. Although for anyone who already felt safe from the state it’s just a cost right? 130
ricky @rickyflows.com · 25/11/2024Good read, I didn’t know there was a wicked book. How was the singing quality? 110
