i wonder if this has to do with the rape thing he was going on about back when he was active

e: wait /u/HStark is active

bro did you get arrested last month?

[–]HStark [スコア非表示]  (62子コメント)

On the "rape thing" - I think /r/LegalAdvice is full of retards pretending to be lawyers. Everyone was like "NO UR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT IS IRRELVANT HERE ITSG GAREHPGAGESNGGMENTETTT" and I asked repeatedly for the court precedent backing it up and nobody provided that. Suddenly I talk to an actual lawyer and he says a similar case has already been to the Supreme Court and I clearly haven't committed a crime and we go up to the judge's bench and he had it handled in about 45 seconds. People now seem more likely to believe me when I tell them this kid is a rapist; mission accomplished.

I did get arrested last month. I guess people aren't gonna stop bugging me about this, so fuck it, I'll just tell you idiots the story. I'd have done so sooner, but it's so annoying to me that I'm about to say exactly what happened and it's going to make literally a 0% difference to you guys circlejerking about whatever you want to think happened.

My mom was a single mom until I was 7 years old, then she shacked up with this scumbag piece of shit narcissist who gave me a lot of the issues that you /u/DarqWolff drama fans know me for. When I was 17, we weren't living with him anymore, but my mom and I weren't getting along well and I had an excellent job opportunity in the next county so my mom agreed to pay rent for me to live with my friend over there until I was on my feet. Since she was paying my rent for that brief bit and couldn't afford to continue renting the apartment we had been living in, she moved back in with this scumbag who, nearing age 50, is still given a place to live for free by his parents. I ended up leaving my friend's house after a week or two because his mom was insane, and since I couldn't live with this scumbag, I was homeless for a few months that summer. I then got manipulated into a two-week "relationship" by some girl who apparently just needed a distraction from her ex, and it hit all my psychological vulnerabilities so hard that it pretty much made me suicidal. I had no weed one day and just really needed to get high so that I could feel alright for a few hours, I was broke, and I stole a car to go to Woodstock (the next town over, a haven of stoners) and get high. I then obviously got charges and the only way I was allowed out of jail was to go live with my mom at this scumbag's house and obey a curfew set by the court. My mom was basically crippled with anxiety over my living situation and the trouble I was in at this point, so even though I'd have rather just stayed in jail than lived with this scumbag, I agreed for her sake.

The reason I told all of the above even though it's from two years ago and not part of how I got arrested was to lend context to this fact: I was not being done any favor here by being "given a place to live." I know it's a feeble attempt and none of you are even remotely trying to see anything /u/DarqWolff-related in a realistic way, so I guess I don't really have an explanation for why I'd bother trying to make this clear, but seriously: this scumbag I had to live with, and myself, were both doing a favor for my mom. He was not doing a favor for me. Would he have let me live there if not for my mom? Maybe. He's a piece of shit, but he has some traits that people with low standards might call "redeeming," he's not all bad. But I didn't want to live there. Being homeless was an order of magnitude more pleasant than living in this scumbag's house. The worst times being homeless weren't as bad as the worst times there - the best times being homeless were better than the best there, by far. I know what I got arrested for is going to make you all go "wow, you're such a selfish piece of shit, how could you treat someone who GAVE YOU A PLACE TO LIVE that way," but you're all imbeciles. I don't owe him anything and if you think I should feel more than the tiniest speck of gratitude for him letting me live there, you really don't know what you're talking about.

Now that that context is out of the way - I'm extremely heat-sensitive. I can be sitting doing nothing in a 70-degree room with no humidity and still get my back soaked in sweat. And this scumbag was a total asshole about the heat and the air conditioning for the 2 years that I was living there on-and-off. In summer, the AC had to be off to "save energy," yet in winter, the heat had to be on 70 regularly. Every morning, whether it was summer or winter, heat would usually be the thing that woke me up. I tend to stay up late and this scumbag doesn't like people who sleep in, so every night when I went to bed I'd set up the AC with a fan blowing into my room and everything (or, in winter, just turn the heat off), and every morning he'd wake up early and undo whatever I did so it would start heating up again and I wouldn't be able to sleep in. That's some utmost scumbaggery to me. Maybe you read it and you're like "big deal." But there's probably shit people could do to you and you'd be completely outraged by it yet I'd think you're being silly. Different people have different priorities and morals, get over it. To me, constantly refusing to let someone sleep is extremely high on the list of asshole moves.

And each of the two summers I lived there, he kept delaying putting the AC in. Since I'm more heat-sensitive than most people, I can understand that the day I'd put it in might be a few days sooner than the day most people would put it in. That's fine. But the first year, I endured not a few days, but a few weeks of constantly being hot as fuck, not being able to sleep, and nothing being done about it because this scumbag has an insanely high heat tolerance and never had a problem himself, and my mom wouldn't stand up for herself once it started getting too hot for her because she's just extremely bad at that sort of thing. He finally put the AC in when I threatened to start putting the heat on maximum every night while he tried to sleep.

Understand how after 2 years, or even just a few months, some serious rage would start to build up at this sort of thing. Especially consider if it's someone you already despise from year after year of similar bullshit previously. My feeling when he finally put the AC in wasn't just "thank god, it'll finally cool down, I'm glad the guy could finally see reason and we can put this behind us." It was "I fucking hate how I just had to endure all this heat for no fucking reason except that he's an asshole, and as soon as I threaten him with consequences, he's out of it, he won't have to endure shit, because I live here and I can't turn the heat up every night just to punish him."

This year was the second year of me being there during the spring-->summer transition. I didn't fuck around with that shit this time. I didn't plead or try to reason with him, because I learned last year that it doesn't work. I just kept telling my mom to get him to do it, because I know she has more sway over him than I do, but she refused, because as I said, she's really bad with this sort of thing. Finally, on a day when it was insanely fucking hot and every goddamn reasonable person on the face of the planet puts their AC in if they haven't already, I finally just politely asked him if he could do it that day. But no. Since this scumbag doesn't have any concept of it being "too hot," the first ridiculously sweltering day of the summer doesn't register for him as the day you put the AC in, but the day you get your motorcycle out of storage and back on the road. He was in and out of the house all day but took none of the times he was in the house as a chance to put the AC in, while everyone else just waited and sweltered in the house hoping he'd finally do it, but the only one with any power over it, my mom, being too much of a little bitch to speak up.

Once the house hit 80 degrees, I was like, fuck this. I don't wanna live here. I never wanted to live here and I'm pretty sure it's not relevant to court anymore. I hate how the psychology of convenience has stopped me from mustering up the energy to leave. I want to punish this guy for being such an asshole and I can't do that and then continue living here. So fuck it. I'm gone. So I smashed up the dude's air conditioners and went to live with my aunt for a little while. He didn't go to the police or do anything about it, because he's a pussy.

But, a week later, my headphones stopped working. These were headphones that my mom had bought me after this scumbag broke my previous pair, and let me explain for a moment - never touch my headphones. If I don't like you, don't even look at my fucking headphones. The way some people are about their car, or their motorcycle, or their Nikes, or their grandmother's silverware, that's how I am about my good pairs of headphones. He knew this, yet he fucked with my headphones anyway.

When that had happened, I smashed his TV and told him to replace the headphones immediately. He didn't replace them immediately, but for the sake of diplomacy and because the situation was stressing my mom out so much, I decided to give him a generous deadline - he had until my own cheap replacement pair died of old age, or there would be further consequences.

This might seem like overkill - like, the dude's TV was already smashed, that's enough - but that's not how justice works. It's basically agreed on by society that justice has a restitution aspect and a retribution aspect, and they're separate. You can't mug someone but then just give the money back and go free - you go to jail and they make you give the money back if you can, because you weren't supposed to mug someone to begin with. If I believed in bodily-harm-type violence, I'd have just beat the shit out of him, but I don't, so I smashed his TV. That still leaves the restitution aspect.

So, these other headphones now dead, I went to his house to deliver some consequences. But he already had a new AC, and that's way too soon after what he put me through. So I smashed up the radiator from outside, then kicked the back door down to go in and cut the power cord. I still don't feel this was an adequate consequence for the headphones at all, this was just about the heat - the cost of the door can be considered a separate punishment for him assholishly buying his way out of consequences (by buying a new air conditioner). But before I had a chance to continue and do something about the headphones, police got there, and the owner of the house - this scumbag's dad - was not such a total pussy, and pressed charges.

So, I got arrested and spent a couple weeks in jail and now I'm dealing with another court case. Fuck society.

TL;DR - fuck you, full context is necessary with this sort of shit

Thanks for putting it here, but dude, you're insane. The "government must give me a girlfriend" guy level of insanity.

I have a question: have you ever had a job or otherwise put any work into our fight against entropy? Do you even understand that this fight is a thing? Do you realize that constructing an air conditioning unit involves a bunch of people doing repetitive tasks they'd much rather not do, and buying an AC unit requires your stepdad doing repetitive tasks that he'd much rather not do to earn the required money?

Why do you think that the society owes you anything? Do you think that air conditioners grow on trees and you're prevented from getting one by the society?

EDIT: FUCKING REMINDER: DON'T DOWNVOTE THE PERSON WHO GRACED US WITH HIS PRESENCE. That prevents him from replying in a timely manner.

[–]HStark [スコア非表示]  (7子コメント)

I don't think you understand entropy very well. You don't care about the complexity of what you're asking about, so I don't care about your questions, sorry. If you were worth talking to about this type of shit, you wouldn't ask a shit question like "have you ever had a job?" I'm only even replying to you because you mentioned entropy and that part slightly piqued my interest until I realized you weren't making sense.

[–]Works_of_memercy [スコア非表示]  (5子コメント)

I don't think you understand entropy very well.

I understand it in the physics sense better than you I guess, but that was not my point.

You have an AC unit, in five or ten years it breaks down, because entropy accumulates. You have to repair it, or buy a new one (that someone has to construct, obviously). You have a house, there are leaks in the roof, the paint flakes, the plumbing deteriorates and leaks, it all has to be fixed, or a new house built somewhere, which would fall apart just the same. The entropy marches inexorably.

You have to eat, you eat a burger and turn it to shit. You can't buy a burger and eat that same burger every day, you gotta buy a new burger every time you're hungry. And that means a whole lot of people continuously creating burgers -- tending to the cattle, harvesting the crops, making the damn burgers. All the time.

This is the fight against entropy. All our nourishment must be continuously produced, only for us to literally turn it into shit. All our shelter continuously falls apart, cracks in the walls, electric motors deteriorate and break down, wood rots, steel rusts. Entropy. We have to fix it, continuously.

And my question about you ever having a job is the most pertinent question ever. Have you ever contributed anything to our fight against the inexorable decay, or have you not? Because if you have not, if you're in a mindspace where the burgers you consume come from some sort of an intergalactic exchange for made up tokens, where the places you live in are a given, then sure you wouldn't have any experience with the real world, and wouldn't understand why everyone perceives you as a deluded parasite on the society.

Not a brave warrior against iniquity, but a parasite with delusions of grandeur.

Maybe, but I don't really misunderstand it in the physics sense myself.

I know all this, but...

This is the fight against entropy.

How? That's the balance of entropy, not the fight against it. "Fight against it" would, I think, have to refer to an effort to actually stop or reverse it, which, if I could readily join, holy shit, I'd devote my life to.

All our nourishment must be continuously produced, only for us to literally turn it into shit. All our shelter continuously falls apart, cracks in the walls, electric motors deteriorate and break down, wood rots, steel rusts. Entropy. We have to fix it, continuously.

This is true, and I guess you're saying I contributed to entropy's side in the fight by destroying something? I understand that very deeply and I hate myself for being in an emotional state that made me need to destroy something. You're not telling me anything new here.

And my question about you ever having a job is the most pertinent question ever. Have you ever contributed anything to our fight against the inexorable decay, or have you not?

This is the part where you go from intriguing me to seeming as intellectual as a two-year-old, and that's not a euphemism. "Jobs" don't contribute shit. Most jobs make the situation worse. The fact that you mean to ask "have you made contributions?" and you instead ask "have you had a job?" and you think it means the same thing shows that you really have nothing to contribute to my mind via this conversation at all. I've contributed much, I don't know if it's more than I've taken, but I'm trying to contribute many many orders of magnitude more. That has nothing to do with jobs. Like, do you think having money automatically turns someone's brain into a magical calculator of how best to fight entropy? Do you even think everyone on earth is devoted to the "fight against entropy," as you call it? You realize my answer to your question could be "yes, I've always had twenty jobs at once" and yet I could be the biggest parasite you've ever met? There are so, so many OBVIOUS reasons why a job has NOTHING to do with it, and none whatsoever for why it would. You're just way beyond imbecilic man, it's annoying.

Sure, you could've contributed without actually having a job. Did you? How have you contributed?

edit:

You don't understand, man. We are in the Red Queen's race against entropy: you have to run pretty fast to stay even. People who do stuff, who grow crops, raise cattle, build houses, they are at least doing what they can to make the society stay even. With a lot of effort. What effort have you put into it to expect the society to owe you anything?

[–]HStark [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

On the one hand, I'm so tempted to answer this, but on the other hand, you literally opened by asking if I had a job. You don't get how fucking retarded that is. You actually tried to defend it as "pertinent." There's nowhere for this to go, you're just flat-out not intellectual.

[–]Works_of_memercy [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

So, zero.

That's not retarded btw, having a job is the easiest way to contribute to our fight against entropy, even if it's something small like flipping burgers. That, too, helps! And that's the first question someone like me might ask someone like you, reasonably.

But of course that ended up providing you a way to dodge the question pretending to not notice the underlying question (how have you contributed?) and getting all outraged against a strawman (that I claim that the only way to contribute is to have a job).

Keep resisting the temptation to examine your parasite self critically, lol.

[–]HStark [スコア非表示]  (21子コメント)

And fuck it, since I'm sure you guys are STARVING for more of this, I'll just briefly address everything I can think of in my criminal history. Again, don't know why I'm bothering, since you'll reach whatever conclusions you want.

  • Stolen car at 17 - I parked that exactly where I found it and offered the guy my laptop for compensation for the few hours of having taken his car. The guy wanted to go to the police instead, which I respected and willingly let them arrest me, because as I've explained I totally understand that sometimes restitution isn't enough, and if the guy wanted retribution, that was part of the choice I had made to steal his car. People like to use this time I stole the car as evidence that I'm stupid, but I really knew exactly what I was doing and thought through all the consequences and moral ramifications. I just couldn't handle being sober that day. My only regret about the situation is that I offered the guy the options of either taking the laptop or going to police - it should have been either taking the laptop or getting revenge on me himself, like beating me up or whatever, with me agreeing not to press charges. Because fuck the police. If I'd known then what I know now, that's all I would have done different, is not involve or in any way respect the police/"justice system."
  • Harrassment charge at 17 or 18 - I had an abusive friendship for a few years. Did a lot of psychological damage to me and at one point I really deeply hated the girl. I had a mental breakdown one night and I was just messaging hateful things to everyone who had ever hurt me, I dunno, I guess because I had never tried hurting people back and I was tired of being walked all over and continuing to behave morally myself. I deeply regret what I became that night. This girl was basically at the top of the list of people who've hurt me, so I was messaging her horrible things that I feel so ashamed of that I really don't want to repeat them, and given that you guys have seen the things I have no trouble repeating, that should say a lot. It was a mix of wanting to hurt her and just needing to talk to her so badly and not being able to think of any other way to get her to reply. I definitely didn't think she'd take it seriously or be scared by it, and I'm still not sure if I really scared her or if she just called the cops to fuck my life up more because she's so hateful, but this one was on me. I'm deeply sorry to her and no longer wish such horrible things on her at all.
  • Gun charge at 18 - tried to kill myself, got caught with antique revolver, scumbag D.A. charged me for it against the advice of the arresting officers. Cops were super chill about it and a jurisdictional problem popped up that made them drop the case. I wouldn't be surprised if the cop that brought me to the arraignment purposely fudged the paperwork so that the case could get dropped. Definitely grateful to the world for that one.
  • UPM - you all know what a UPM is. I made the mistake of being totally honest with the cops about having weed on me, because I was in a town where cops look away from weed possession and it's not really a big deal. But this second cop pulled up and apparently thought I had been selling to underage kids or something (no idea what, just trying to guess based on the passive-aggressive shit he said at the time) and he decided to take my weed and charge me with a UPM. That one got dropped because CSI labs don't give a fuck about a third of a gram of weed so they were never gonna get lab results back on it and therefore had no evidence.
  • Harrassment charge at 19 - addressed above, I told people this kid was a rapist and he went to the cops because he doesn't think it's rape unless you use physical force or something. Shit didn't go well for him in the long run on that one, obviously.
  • And then the charges I just told you guys about, for breaking into this dude's house and smashing his air conditioner.

That's everything I can remember. Let me know if y'all dig up something I forgot.

EDIT - I'd just like to add one little thing. I propose an experiment, not that any of you retards know how to do anything remotely objective.

If you're one of the circlejerkers against me here, which, given the thread we're in, you probably are: go find and read the /r/LegalAdvice thread about the harrassment case for telling people this kid was a rapist. Try (and unfortunately, fail) to read it as if you didn't already know how the case played out. Notice (but not actually, because you're retarded) that you jump right into the circlejerk there, too, and you'd have been making the same comments calling me an idiot, saying I shouldn't be talking about it, that I was committing harrassment and would go to jail, etc. like a bunch of fucking lemmings. Notice that in real life, the case went exactly the way I expected it should to begin with. Could it be that it's not me, but all of you, who are completely retarded? Yes, yes it could.

Four things

  1. Join the military. That's the best way I see of you being straightened out. It's not a kill muslim club like reddit thinks. They'll give you stability and hopefully balance out the mounds of shit on your records. I'm guessing you're an atheist but getting involved with the local church or even charitable missions is also a good way for stability.

  2. Is the scumbag the engineer from the darqwolff pasta? The one you knew physics better than?

  3. Honestly speaking. Where do you see yourself in 5? 10? 25 years? I remember the Darqwolff who was going to tackle the tech industry. Sure arrogant and misguided but it was somewhat admirable. Businessman Darqwolff and even intellectual Darqwolff are a lot cooler than criminal Darqwolff.

  4. Lay off the drugs. Weed isn't a wonderdrug. Its not just a recreational thing. It will exasperate some of the latent wackiness in you. The need for weed led to you stealing a car. That's not good.

[–]HStark [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

I'm guessing you're an atheist but getting involved with the local church or even charitable missions is also a good way for stability.

Dunno why you put that in the military paragraph, it's true though. I'm probably gonna join a church soon. I'm a pantheist/atheist but I'm also baptized and this new Pope has given me some type of respect for the Catholic church. I also have been involved in and will be involved in more charitable missions (unless the "missions" part means through a church, in which case idk).

Is the scumbag the engineer from the darqwolff pasta? The one you knew physics better than?

YUP!!!!!!! I still know physics better than him, but I've come to realize he's not at all a representative sample of other engineers. Glad you asked.

I've still got similar plans. Now I've got a thing for freeing all the world's slaves with an army of robots. Seems like it wouldn't be too hard to build some cheap drones that can neutralize all the defenses of a diamond mine in Sierra Leone, let its slaves go free, and take a few diamonds to expand the wealth and therefore potential influence of the project. I also still want to take on the tech industry and everything. These days I even plan on trying to bring about world peace by building such a big army of robots that I can just non-lethally defuse every physical battle that happens and tell world leaders to work it out some other way. And I'd like to be President of the United States. It is indeed arrogant, but I don't see how it's misguided. The world needs a lot more arrogant people, in my opinion.

Lay off the drugs. Weed isn't a wonderdrug. Its not just a recreational thing. It will exasperate some of the latent wackiness in you. The need for weed led to you stealing a car. That's not good.

Meh. I like weed. I think my use of it is a lot healthier these days, I wouldn't steal a car for it right now. And I'm not sure what I'd have done that day if I didn't know about weed. Maybe just straight-up killed myself.

Not necessarily a religious mission. Though I've known a lot of Mormons who have done great work abroad during their missions. There's a lot of organizations that could use a hand. The crème de la crop would be MSF but you're not a medical doctor and I'm not sure if you can leave domestic. If you can't there are smaller organizations that work more locally. Try visiting a community centre for more info. I mentioned them together because service (no matter what kind) will bring stability and perspective to most people's lives.

I don't think that's a fully fleshed out plan. But if you think it's good then why not try to develop it further? A fully laid out plan that you can use to present to some influential people. Though personally if I were you I'd start on a smaller scale than going to a centuries old global catastrophe. Obama didn't say I'm going to be president. He started off as a community organizer and he worked his ass off in law school.

I'm not a drug are bad mckay type of guy but I limit myself to only partake in marijuana at parties or gatherings. It lowers the dependency and encourages positive behavior like networking. The experience is also better when you are with more people. Either way the drug impairs you for a few hours that could be spent more productively. Exercising is a great combat to depression and so is a healthy diet. Underneath it all there is still a science to how we function.

Anyways this is my advice. Hopefully one way or the other it's sunny roads ahead for you.

I like keeping things. It's a psychological quirk I've had for as long as I can remember, I just pick things that I like and say "I'm gonna keep this for my whole life" and I think it's really cool to picture being 50 and still having whatever random trinket it is from 35 years ago. So, they were worth a- lol wait why am I replying to you

[–]Zachums [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Well, keep it in perspective: Yes, having a decent pair of headphones is sweet, and if someone fucks with them they should have to pay for a new pair. But if the guy is as much of a scumbag as you describe, you can anticipate that he won't pay for them.

You can try to send a message, or strong arm him into paying, but you gotta pick your battles. Now you're way worse off than if you just bought a new pair of headphones and went on living your life.

It's a pointless hypothetical because I just wouldn't have done that. For me to have done that, my mental state would have had to be totally different to begin with. There's no timeline or parallel universe where everything went the same except I said to myself "you know what? Let it go." It was straight-up impossible.

On top of that, if I ever finally get retribution for the headphones, I'll feel damn good about it and it'll be totally worth it, just like getting revenge for the air conditioning was totally worth it.

I had no weed one day and just really needed to get high so that I could feel alright for a few hours, I was broke, and I stole a car to go to Woodstock (the next town over, a haven of stoners) and get high.

There are people out there who are addicted to much worse things and they don't commit nearly as much crime. Just saying.

[–]HStark [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

That's an interesting statement. You're right, my quality of life probably will, over my lifetime, have a pretty strong inverse correlation to how many things I destroy.

I don't think the causal link you imply here is as simple as you think it is, though. Wanting revenge isn't ideal, but when you want revenge, you want revenge, and in this case, it was fulfilling. I am trying to become more like the person I once was, who would have had the emotional strength not to want revenge, and you're right, that'd be awesome. But I don't feel this is a case where sucking it up and forcing myself would have made a positive difference. The reality of my emotional state was, I really needed to make sure this guy didn't get away with it.

TL;DR - I got irrationally angry at my mom's boyfriend and broke his shit.

you need help dude

*very rationally angry

[–]SirGallantLionheart [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

Samudaya is the second noble truth. Desire/want leads to suffering. Your desire coupled with your anger led to this. I don't doubt your mom's bf is far from a model citizen but who suffered in all this? Was it him or you? Headphones are material possessions they aren't significant in the grand scheme. Your anger over them is akin to picking up a hot stone to launch at your enemy. You hurt yourself when you intended to hurt him. This is what anger always leads to.

Tru, except he had to endure heat and put in labor fixing his door and window, and that's totally worth it to me. You're wise and what you're saying is good advice, since it's a truth that's often overlooked and definitely important, but it's off in this case.

I'd be all over Buddhism if I could just pretend I don't have the fears and desires that I do. I can't, though.

I don't, I don't have the words. You don't have the right to "punish" people. You keep talking about justice and punishment but you don't get to enact those things. We as a society have constructs that enact punishment and justice.

Are you sure you're not on the spectrum, dude? I know you like 19, but come on. Maybe a little bit of time in jail will help you understand what you can and can't do to other people and their things

You don't have the right to "punish" people. You keep talking about justice and punishment but you don't get to enact those things. We as a society have constructs that enact punishment and justice.

That's oversimplified. Anyone can punish people, and if they're justified, they indeed have the moral "right" to. It's just that the law can't always tell whether each case is justified, so if you do take it into your own hands, and you get caught, they have to punish you. Doesn't mean what you did was wrong, it's just an imperfect system.

Are you sure you're not on the spectrum, dude?

I'm sure my social skills are excellent and I generally get to choose whether people like me or not to a much greater extent than a lot of people. I know some of the things associated with being on the spectrum are actually just smart/rational things to do. I know every psychologist I've talked to in the past few years has definitely thought my Asperger's diagnosis was faulty, just based on how much charisma and conversation-navigating ability I showed while talking to them, so I don't think I am on the spectrum, but if I am, it's a pretty pointless spectrum.

have you considered that your ability form a working self-concept might be affected by your uhh, social issues?

I mean, let's be honest here, people with excellent social skills don't smash up air conditioners because they're mad. "Borrowing" cars then not understanding why that's not a thing that's okay is not something that people with excellent social skills do either. Flatly speaking nothing you've ever written on this website suggests in the slightest that you understand how to interact with other human beings in a healthy way.

Like, I'm not gonna diagnose you because that's stupid, but it's pretty clear that you are not making good choices in your life and the shit you do seems pretty fucking maladaptive. You aren't able to recognize the mistakes you have made previously either. You might believe you don't need help, but you absolutely do.

Wow, that's really rough. I can see how you must prefer being homeless to all this wild abuse. Don't worry though, once you explain the difference between restitution and retribution to the judge, I'm sure he'll totally let you off.

This might seem like overkill - like, the dude's TV was already smashed, that's enough - but that's not how justice works. It's basically agreed on by society that justice has a restitution aspect and a retribution aspect, and they're separate. You can't mug someone but then just give the money back and go free - you go to jail and they make you give the money back if you can, because you weren't supposed to mug someone to begin with. If I believed in bodily-harm-type violence, I'd have just beat the shit out of him, but I don't, so I smashed his TV. That still leaves the restitution aspect.

I mean shit bro, you were smashing his stuff in the NAME OF JUSTICE. If anything, the judge should be paying you for lightening his caseload by delivering justice straight up, without the middleman. I recommend presenting the judge with a bill as your opening statement during the trial. He'll look confused at first but the look on the judge's face will quickly change as you start explaining the law to him and he realizes how much more savvy you are in these matters than him. Shit dude, he'll probably call a recess and pull you to the bench asking you to tone down your brilliance a little simply so you don't embarrass him by comparison.

You're an idiot, but you are kinda hilarious, I'll give you that. Though, would the bland old style of sarcasm still be interesting if your idiocy weren't causing it to straddle the line of truth...? Probably not - imagining your comment, except on a topic where you're completely right, it just seems 2edgy4me and uncreative.

[–]Fartkin [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

I personally think it's hilarious a homeless NEET who's been arrested multiple times is accusing anyone of being an idiot. Listen your life is a mess and it is exclusively your fault. You had multiple opportunities to not be in the position you are today and you passed on all of them. You are truly a terrible person and the world would be better off without you.

[–]Magoonie [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

Dude no! Don't say shit like this man. This kid has a fucked up mentality and has fucked up plenty sure. But don't start suggesting/pushing him towards suicide. That's just wrong. I think we can both agree he has some serious mental issues, right? He should address those and seek treatment for it, not off himself. Also you'll scare him away.

[–]botchlings [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

You're insane and you belong in jail or a mental institution. You should never, ever be allowed back into society again because it's clear you're violent and your crimes are escalating.

You break, steal, and destroy people's possessions because you are not happy with their behavior. This is wrong on so many levels and it's compounded by the fact that most people would consider your victim's behavior normal.

[–]Prince_Kropotkin [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

and it's going to make literally a 0% difference to you guys circlejerking about whatever you want to think happened.

Well, you're enlightened enough to know that, at least.

I skimmed some of this shit tho and it sounds like you need some serious counselling.

[–]HStark [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Counseling isn't magic. You, and I'm talking to society here, don't have the right to marginalize, traumatize, and completely fuck people up and then tell them everything is their fault because they don't want to do what you tell them to do to make it better (which in this case would ultimately be, "take these poorly-researched drugs regularly"). Especially considering that you create some people whose problems are so bad even the poorly-researched drugs can't help.

After reading that I even kept an open mind and tried to keep my preconceived notions at the door thinking "maybe he'll have a decent explanation of events here". I might have been wrong.

i feel like i've told you this before but you need serious help like not even joking this shit's fucked up

like before you were a retarded narcissist but now you're like hella anti-social and smashing up people's air conditioners (seriously what even) and you should stop before you actually literally ruin your life

[–]Magoonie [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Do you ever stop and think "maybe I'm in the wrong here" or "maybe I'm the problem here"? Also why didn't you put the air conditioner in yourself? I'm guessing it's a standard window mount AC unit? Those aren't hard to put in. Also if you don't mind me asking but you say you knew this guy was a scumbag before this story, what did he do to make you view him as a scumbag?

[–]HStark [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I'll need you on my Presidential campaign someday so you're not one of the people out there criticizing me, because unlike all these other imbeciles, you're on-fucking-point. I should have just said "fuck you, I'm putting it in" and done it myself. Looking back on it, that would have been so fucking awesome. Yet, at the time, without the magic of hindsight, that idea seemed like it'd be letting him get away with his bullshit - and, thinking on it now, the really important thing is, he would have continued being a scumbag about it. He would have continued turning it off all the time and refusing to turn it on to stop the house from getting hot to begin with, etc. Thinking about that makes the idea of putting it in myself seem way less awesome, even in hindsight.

Also if you don't mind me asking but you say you knew this guy was a scumbag before this story, what did he do to make you view him as a scumbag?

I grew up with him from age 7. I have so many stories about what a piece of shit he is it's impossible to pick one to share with you. PM me about it if you want. For anyone else reading who thinks I just don't have anything convincing enough to share - lol, fuck off. The guy literally has no friends. Nobody who knows him has a very different judgment of him than I do, I just feel stronger about it because I had to spend years with my weak bitch mom giving him way too much authority over my life.

I am a man of my word and gave him gold. Reading his posts, it was worth it. I feel very sorry for his mother and her boyfriend though.

Sounds more like that time he tried to hijack a car, then tried to offer the owner his laptop as a collateral.

I'm really curious about his side of the story, /u/HStark, please!

I'm usually against the pinging shitposts, but God damn if I don't want to here /u/HStark's side of this story. Though his attorney probably doesn't want him to talk about it.
