harveys zoo zoos posted:it's okay. i get it, and i know worse advice has been given by supposedly competent lawyers I was curious about this aspect, was your sentence the result of a plea to avoid the death penalty (also I guess answering this will narrow down what states you could be in so don't answer if you don't want to) or did you go to trial?

Hey, a while back you mentioned a massive prison riot after the free weights were taken away. Did you get them back?

We would like to make you the Head of Federal Bureau of Prisons (or whatever the equivalent of where you stayed.)” What would be the first thing that you would change or work on?

I think something like 30 states still had the death penalty in the 90s, but it's absolutely sound advice to be wary of giving out too many details even if they are seemingly unrelated. People have gotten pretty good at doxxing people via what is essentially a game of guess who. You can narrow things down with each new bit of information. Tangentially related, but geoguessing is kind of a cool trend, and people who are good at it can look at a picture of a place and narrow it down to scary close ranges, I've seen people guess down to the street with almost no obvious information. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0p5Eb4OSZCs

harveys zoo zoos posted:it's okay. i get it, and i know worse advice has been given by supposedly competent lawyers Adding to what people are saying about money definitely talk to someone you trust before making a big decision. Even to give some away. People have mentioned how cons have evolved but it’s hard to really understate how entangled they are culturally. Crypto people make themselves known for example, but you also start seeing big news companies start to push them (usually starts as them giving their crypto stories to knucklehead interns who surprise surprise are pro crypto) but you also see people lose investments from “legitimate” sources like pensions and none of them who put money in even realized where it was going There’s also AI poo poo now but even we’re still wrapping our heads around it

were there any rich fuckers in jail with you? any yuppies? were there any people in there that you are certain were not guilty of the crime they got convicted for? how about pacifists, buddhists, hippies, non-violent offenders? there is a thing now called Podcasting which is just internet radio shows. there are a trillion but I thought I'd share some you might enjoy: Ear Hustle is a podcast produced by prisoners and it is really good Chapo Trap House is very funny and informative politics and culture poo poo Lever Time is really good independent news poo poo Death Panel is about the health care and prison systems You can google them or look them up on spotify to listen

George Lucas sold the Star Wars franchise to Disney, which immediately commenced their tried and true method of driving a successful franchise directly into the ground at high speed to allow them to make a bazillion gazillion quadtrillion dollars from grown nerds who crave Star Wars 24/7. Perfectly executed IMO.

I give last jedi points for actually trying to do something different with star wars, structurally it was a bit of a mess but I'd rather something interesting that doesn't fully succeed than just the safest, most boring films over and over Glad to hear you're doing okay on the outside Harvey Lots of people have asked about prison lingo but do you feel the way people on the outside talk to each other has changed from what you remember?

Another thought wrt media recommendations: take it all with a grain of salt, especially the negative reviews. People have gotten both a lot more demanding and critical, but also a lot more savvy/knowledgeable. With YouTube media criticism has become a pretty big thing, so a lot of people are educating themselves and are more aware of bad writing, editing, etc, and much less forgiving. Of course there's also the culture being steeped in media for three additional decades so it's advanced a lot generally. What I'm saying is that because you lack that experience, a movie that most of us would consider subpar could still be very enjoyable for you. I think most stuff released now that we'd consider bottom of the barrel is still better than a lot of the stuff we enjoyed in the 90s.

Go into any thread for a movie or tv show and there will be people who keep coming back to say that they hate whatever it is, even though no one is forcing them to post there.

harveys zoo zoos posted:i might also get a part time job at a storage facility, cleaning out storage spaces that have been closed for non payment If you get early pick at what they’re getting rid of, you can flip it on eBay or Craigslist. The only caveats are make sure you’re up on payment scams like others suggested. Reddit has a great reference at r/scams. MANDATORY MEDIA RECS I’m just following the rules, go yell at a cloud, boomer. Game of Thrones. Except the last season. Titties and dragons and taboo sex; something for everyone. Mad Men. John Hamm plays an rear end in a top hat sociopath ad exec in 1960s New York City and he does it so well. Probably some brief titties and definitely no dragons, but great storylines and acting. Dexter. Especially the season with John Lithgow. Not so much the season with the blonde girlfriend. Or the last season. Maybe just the first season and John Lithgow for starters. Breaking Bad has been mentioned. Its sequel Better Call Saul wrapped up recently and had some really intense episodes. Both are great shows. Keep up the good work and I hope every day you find something that blows your mind in the best way possible.
