My friend told me to stop ordering cocaine via the mail. I told him he was disrespecting a future US army soldier.
You can mail order coke now?! What a time to be alive!
might even be harder today than it was like 10 years ago when silk road was operating and cops didn't know what bitcoin was
came onto this thread thinking about just that
those were the dayswe also used to be able to mail order psychedelic truffles from the netherlands due to some legal gray area or something? Idk we did it a bunch and never got arrested. Checked a few years ago if this was still possible and it's not
they just don't want the kids to have any fun these daysHad a high school buddy that went to the next college over that their whole floor sophomore year would order laundry lists of psychedelics and party drugs and get them delivered to the student mail room without issue.
Then as an added bonus they realized 10 years later the absolute crumbs of leftover bitcoins they had to use to buy them were worth thousands of dollars.
I so wish I kept track of my bitcoin. There's probably a wallet somewhere that at one point was worth quite a large amount. But it was always just drug money to me and silk road shut down, then I stopped doing large amounts of drugs and it sort of became useless to me. Then a number of years later there's this huge bitcoin craze...
just referred to this as such upthread.
helped me kick a bad habit. and got to know this wonderful transwoman out in cali who shoveled many wonderful cannabis and concentrates she made onto me for cheap or free
the community was really cool and felt like old school late 90s subversive hacker internet again
I want amazon drone delivered coke
. A new evolution in human development.Except it comes from some company you can't find any presence for online, the instructions tell you to "ingest via nasal for ultimate gratification" and the reviews are 10,000 identical copy pasted "arrived on time, very satisfied" comments
So...why is military recruitment struggling in the US again? Promises of "Free drugs" and "Be immune the law" would get their numbers right back up.
Fun fact: Genghis Khan distributed "be immune to law" priviledges to his commanders, but those were very rare, considered to be among the highest honours, were valid once or twice and military law was exempted from this.
you can walk from one side of the empire to the other with a golden plate upon your head... unless Subutai really wants it & cashes in his good boy points
Afaik there is no record of this priviledge being ever invoked, but we only have very scarce information about it so no wonder. Of all named people Shigi Qutuqu might possibly used it when he fucked up the battle against Khwarezmians which didn't resulted in any visible consequence to him, but Genghis might just forgive him without it anyway considering their relations. Also it was him who probably wrote our main source about those event so he might just forgot to mention it (though he did mentioned pretty many embarassing things about Genghis himself).
I feel like "one get out of jail free card, because I like and trust you" is indistinguishable in function from "he forgave him for his failure, because he liked and trusted him otherwise."
At least in case of Genghis Khan it functioned the same because He Was The Law.
TIL. I guess sometimes you just need extra privileges to cut through the red tape. And by "red tape" I mean the Khwarazmian Empire.
He has textured hair and beard - I don't want to be a phrenologist here but there's a good chance he's just light-skinned or mixed-race.
Not saying white privilege doesn't exist but this may not be an example of it.
The document gives his name as Michael Acevedo, so he is probably Latino.
I think the more straightforward answer here is imperial military privilege.
Military privilege is def a thing in the US that goes beyond the tangible benefits (some retail stores giving discounts to veterans and such)
Had a grandfather that served in the air force for a long time, any time he got pulled over for speeding he'd 'accidentally' give the cop his old military id first. He rarely got ticketed.
Could be mestizo... or creole (white ethnic spanish born in Latine America)
I mean, Latines are not a race, but an all-encompassing group of Lusophones and Espanyophones in Latine America, of varying races...
That is true, but the vast majority of Americans do not think in these terms. Because of that, many Latines who'd be considered white in Latin America arguably lack white privilege, or have it to a lesser extent than Anglos.
My point is this guy is likely not viewed as white by his community.
Also, as far as white privilege can go, arrested and charged white heroin dealers do not typically (and never explicitly) get off scot free for being white, but this guy faced 0 consequences explicitly because he is in the military.
That is true, but the vast majority of Americans do not think in these terms. Because of that, many Latines who'd be considered white in Latin America arguably lack white privilege, or have it to a lesser extent than Anglos.
Well, now'd that I think of it, I thought more of the technicalities rather than the social construct of his status...
when you're ambiguous, you are what the cops think you are
Just a dude living his best life. Why go out for coke when it can be delivered to your doorstep? Guys thinking on a completely different level.
lol, lmao
What is it with Fort Bragg? Is it just because it's so big, or is there something about it that makes it the "Florida" of US Army bases?
Probably.
It's the most vile base in the empire, I swear there's always some fucked up shit going on there.
rotating schedule of covert psychological torture experiments. one week it's LSD in the orange juice, the next it's replacing all the toilet paper with a single pumice stone.
hey this guy doesn't know how to use the pumice stone
Headquarters for JSOC. There's a journalist that's been doing great coverage of their stuff for the last 5-7 years. I think Rolling Stone's published their stuff but they've done appearances on True Anon & QAA to talk about it.
Seth Harp is his name I think, this might be the first article but he's written like 5 or more: https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/fort-bragg-murders-1153405/
Seth Harp is his name I think
Yup, he's the one tweeting in the post lol
lmao I totally missed that. my dude's gonna get got if he keeps this up
If i could get heroin delivered to my fucking home address I'd be back on the needle and dead within a week.
back in the brief golden age of this kind of thing having that kind of access actually helped me permanently kick the habit
i was so used to inconsistent connects and being run around and buying as much as possible that finally having one click access meant budgeting, planning, and controlled transition to kratom
not everything just drugs and big packages of pirated content for mere pennies. place was surprisingly ethical
True. They also had counterfeiting stuff and counterfeit designer clothes. There were some other sites that had SUPER illegal stuff. Hopefully, the the Feds shut those ones down.
breaking news: he has plead Not Guilty on the grounds that he din't know it was iwwegaw
In his defence the army does illegal shit all the time so he probably just thought they would issue him a get out of jail free card
