You mean, what would be the consequences? I guess they won't have free, easy, and direct access to the Pentagon offices, staff, and documents anymore. Although, I suppose they could interview people outside of the premises or submit requests for access?

It was a civil suit, not a criminal trial. He was being sued for defamation by people he accused of being crisis actors. If you trash somebody's reputation, they actually can sue you, totally legal. They might even win. You know how you can make sure they win? Refuse to participate in the lawsuit.

He had his life ruined for choosing to treat a courtroom proceeding like a clown show.

almost every time

it's really infuriating because family court is horrifically unjust and needs to be reformed but the majority of the people complaining the loudest did 90% of what happened to them to themselves

a very typical situation is you have two retards but one is crazy/abusive. the first retard thinks they can vibe their way through the case because the bitch is obviously crazy/the fucker is obviously abusive. and that's true! but family court is in fact not reddit and you can't just post your way into consensus. So the crazy bitch or the horrible man gets the kids and terrible things ensue which all could have been avoided if the first retard had followed the rules.

Another typical situation is the judge requests financial records from the man, and the man says to himself, "That bitch has no right to my assets, I'm not giving them these docs," and then lo and behold, it turns out that requests from judges are not polite suggestions.

People also just don't understand that the world doesn't care about what you think the law should be. They get into court and act like total jackasses because they think they shouldn't have to be there, or that the law they're being charged under is stupid, or the person suing them is a cunt, or the judge is a dick, or whatever, and apparently seem to think that if you just act like a big enough jackass in the courtroom, the judge will say, "Aw, gee whiz, you're right, this whole proceeding is super silly, let's just forget the whole thing." They are then shocked when judges are not impressed by their antics and neither are higher courts.

How does one "abuse" using a VPN? I think a VPN is something that everyone has the right to use however they want, whenever they want, and how often they want to.

You do have that right. And a website has the right to block whomever they want, including methods jeets use to enter jeet-free zones.

The deregulation stuff can actually be good environmentally as a lot of it basically meant you could reprocess century old mining tailings dams. If you have a gold mine or silver mine in the US, there is likely a percentage of rare earths well past the economically viable zone. The issue likely is the flux used was Boron or Lead being incredibly toxic and the remediation efforts were basically treating a ton of sites like Chernobyl.

If you can get the government to pay for some of it via clean-up acts, you could pull like hundreds of millions of dollars out of garbage.

You specifically know exactly how I feel about lolicon because the one single time I actually defended you in this thread is when we were both arguing with this thread about the merits of requiring an ID for porn, you and me were the only ones in favor of it. I don't support trying to police VPNs especially in the age of total mega conglomerate silicon valley domination.

Fair enough. If it's any consolation, I highly doubt that any government could effectively police VPNs. I only support the UK and India getting fucked because those countries deserve to be quarantined.

I have no sympathy for this situation whatsoever so I didn't include it, that's not just retardedly deciding to play chicken with judge, it's refusing to acknowledge that you're married and what marriage entails

the other situation though and a couple of related ones are so common, it's *so hard* to get people to play by the rules in family court and lawyers make *so much money* because of the counterintuitiveness of the rules, it's just one more of the multiple IQ arbitage opportunities we have in our fucked up society

If India and the UK were banned from the Internet, a lot of problems would go away.

Proposal: we banish the UK, Canada, Pakistan, and India to their own little i internet where they can be each other's problem and if we're lucky the shittalking in their new containment zone will cause an India/Canada vs UK/Pakistan war. It would be very silly.

They watch those videos of sovereign citizens being so obstinately annoying that the judge either throws out the case or at least passes the buck to someone who can be bothered and think they have the magic ticket to escaping all consequences.

He definitely defamed them, i just disagree with the 1 billion cost, but the way you put it(if you are telling the truth), it seems he brought it on himself by acting like a retard.The problem with this case it that every time i tried looking info up, it would be biased by the person reporting on it(including Jones himself it seems).

It remains to be seen.Corporations have every reason to get environmental laws repealed(these regulations exist for a reason).I worry because drumf tends to ride corpo cock at times, he will allow some insane corpo action that leaves us chocking on shitty air.

VPNs police themselves, if you are using a VPN to do illegal things that puts risk on the VPN provider, so they (like any other reputable business) will restrict what you are allowed to do with the VPN or else you'll be banned from using it.

In the same vein, if Twitter sees a bunch of attacks happening from a certain VPN provider, it's in their rights to block that provider entirely, something that would be bad for the VPN provider who wants to make money.

It's just like having a driver's license, you are expected to behave in certain ways on the road or else your driving privilege is revoked. Plenty of people use VPNs for non-malicious reasons, same as cars.

Post in thread 'Supporting the Kiwi Farms by Check in the Mail (Billpay Edition)'
Null
You can now pay by check in the mail. If 600 people set this up, it will sustain the site and its development perpetually.


It is very important that you read the instructions.
You do not supply your username or a bank account number for Kiwi Farms.
Read the instructions.


How To​

The process is easy but slow. It will take up to 21 days for the check to be cashed and for your upgrade to be applied. However, once the process has started, you will not have to think about it again. Just be sure to keep your account above $20.

Your forum account is identified by a secret 9-digit number found only on this page. Don't share it.

1760641111863.png

Billpay is a system where your bank prints physical checks and sends them on a schedule to a physical location by mail. The process of setting this up depends on the bank. You can google "My Bank Billpay".

For instance, with Old Glory Bank it looks like this. This varies by institution but this is a general process guide.

1. Add a payee. If it asks if this is a company or personal transfer, select company.

1760635878760.png1760636509106.png

2. Enter your details carefully. Pay special attention to anything related to a "billpay id" or "account number". The terminology changes by vendor, but basically this is the identifier for the payee's system that identifies you.

1760636314067.png1760636371421.png

3. Fill in mailing details. My system asks me for my name to put on the check. You may be able to replace this with an LLC or omit this entirely, depending on your bank's rules.

1760636415936.png

4. Set up a recurring payment with this payee. For continuous supporter status, arrange $20 per month at any day of your pleasing. There is no minimum or maximum. You will get premium upgrade time distributed pro rata: if you send a dollar you will get 1/20th of a month, if you send a hundred you will get 5 months.

1760636721510.png

That's it. Your bank will send a check to mountain momma every month. Our mail guy will stop by the post office, collect the mail, sort out the checks, and send them for processing.



Rewards​

As explained above, time is given to your account pro rata. You can check it on the billpay page.

1760636975539.png

Gilded Profile​

1760636880904.png
See: @Null Test Account. You have the option to gild your avatar which will display on any place your avatar does. It will also gild your banner from green to gold. You may disable each of these.

The True & Honest Fan banner will default to green and appear regardless of preference if you run out of time. This will confer to you the same benefits as anyone else who has donated $20 at any point in the forum's history.

Sponsored Posts​

Currently, once a week, you can sponsor a post to appear in advertising positions around the site.

Special Stickers​

You will receive access to all reactions which are only available to True & Honest Fan.
You will also receive access to a special sticker only available to the monthly supporters in good standing.

Possible: Additional Customization​

I'm considering other things such as custom user name color or banner customization. As above, I'd like to discuss these things before committing time to it.

Planned: Gifting​

I do not advise paying for somebody else by asking for their billpay id.

I will provide a way to gift time to users from your own account. So, if you donate $100 in a month, you will be able to apply a month to five people or two months to one person or whatever you want.


F.A.Q.​

Q. Can I send more than $20? Can I send $40 every two months? Can I send $240 a year? Can I send less? What happens if I send an odd amount like $31?​

Yes. Amounts are applied pro rata, which is to say: You will get your money's worth, always.

The formula for calculating time goes as follows:
  • Take either the existing expiration time of your upgrade OR the current time at the point the payment is processed.
  • Add +n months, where n is the quotient of $AMOUNT divided by $20).
  • Add +x hours, where x is the remaining amount over $20, then multiplied by the total number of hours in the month. Specifically, the hours in the month arrived at after Step #2.
Example:
If you donate $31 and it is processed by me on January 1st, your upgrade will expire on February the 16th at 8pm (1 month + 55% of the amount of hours in February).

Q. How long does it take?​

I estimate between 2 to 3 weeks after your institution cuts the check and sends it. For my breakdown, see here. I know, it sucks, I was hoping for closer to a week. In the future, we may have a way to improve the speed at which checks are deposited: our bank, Old Glory Bank, is interested in issuing a check deposit machine to us directly which will completely remove about 6-9 business days of processing time. The good news is that once you send your first check and it comes through you never have to think about it again.

Q. When is money withdrawn from my account?​

This is an institution-specific question. Many banks withdraw and endorse the payments as soon as they are created. Some do not. If you do not see a withdrawal for the amount you send, you should ensure that your balance stays positive so that it will not bounce or overdraw.

Q. What Security Measures are in place?​

The gist is: No one party ever holds both the check and the user account associated it. This is why you specify your bill pay id, not your account name.

Here is a rundown of the safety precautions being taken.
  • There are federal and state laws in regards to the handling of financial information.
  • The billpay id that is created for your account is known only to the Kiwi Farms, not the check deposit clerk.
  • Payment information is stored by the bank, not any online device, individual, or business location that I manage.
  • Payments are applied to user accounts by a receipt generated by the banking service.
  • No information about the depositor or the financial institution are stored on the server.
  • USPS money orders and bank checks are accepted for this.
In short, who is donating to which account will be unknown to every individual. The mail clerk, the teller at the bank, and myself will never see the depositor and the user account at the same time. The clerk receives the checks with numbers on it. The bank receives the same. I receive a receipt of which payees received what payments. The Kiwi Farms receives instructions to update those accounts. Even in the event of a total breach at any of those locations, cross-contamination is not possible.


Refund Policy​

No refunds, including if you are banned. Sorry, but I'm not writing checks to people who bought it and then sponsored a gross post or something.
This is a way to support the forum and the gimmicks are just my thank you.
