The present extends into past and future. Past and future are part of the present. Convincing ourselves the present is is some isolated psychological nirvana that can be entered if only we try hard enough and pretend like the cunt next door isn't beating his girlfriend or whatever is basically akin to administering ourselves a cultural and spiritual lobotomy.

This is a normal post I think
I know what you're saying. but this book is aimed at a more basic/simple level than (what I think) you're saying.

Although I do not fully understand the wife beater part, if you choose to ignore the past or to predict the future then you're a fool. The brain connects them all up in a seemless way and for people having problems it becomes a tangled mess.

To me, the book encourages you to experiment to dissect the past/ now/ future and your internal monologue, then to identify which part you're having problems with (with me it was my internal monologue, which I'm ok with now)

It says many times your memories are important, but for someone who is being totally consumed and controlled by their past (eg guilt) then it helps them to identify and understand what is happening - not to wipe your memories or to say you've been right or wrong.

This is a normal post It's an interesting one
at least to me. The macing in the face aside, I taught British probationer coppers Powers of Arrest. I'd play them this vid and say, "right, what was the arrestable offence here under PACE or other powers?"
They'd probably go straight for public order, but that has limited powers of arrest. Threatening behaviour is only a fine, not an arrestable offence, and it's dubious anyway if asking to be arrested constitutes insult or threat.
Other probationers might say "breach of the peace" which is weirdly a civilian common law power open to anyone, not a police power, and hence the police officers themselves are liable for misarrest. The standard is high too, beyond reasonable doubt, so I doubt this would stand up unless there was behaviour prior to this that we didn't see. He's not interfering with anyone else's normal course of activities or holding up traffic
They might also try for "common assault without battery" which is probably their best bet, if they could prove that they had a reasonable fear of being assaulted. Even though it's not an arrestable offence, section 25 gives powers of arrest to prevent the assault taking place (not after it's occurred). But this is also doubtful whether the courts would find this reasonable. the man wasn't threatening violence. He was slowly advancing on them, but there was no command for him to stop and he wasn't armed. Being black and shouty isn't enough by itself.
Of course this is the US, and they have their own laws and powers and seem to have quite the free hand, more's the pity. But in the UK the officers might find themselves in hot water if challenged with the vid and a good barrister, and I'd advise they'd be on stronger ground if they attempted to verbally engage with the man first, even if it was a clear command to stop that was ignored

Not sure why the pretence that you're not a tedious stalker. Maybe you're not even aware. As I said before, if you had wit to be self-aware you wouldn't behave as you do. I'm happy to link to dozens of examples in just the past months to highlight your obsession. It'd be no more tedious than your stalking, and might be therapeutic to be confronted with the pathetic scope of it

This is a normal post No. You're not obsessed. Not at all. No siree.

This is a normal post That's like saying the woman you're stalking is the real stalker because she screams louder than you when she finds you looking through her window
I'm always struck about how thick you are when it boils down to it, which goes someway to explain your stalking. Are you honestly so stupid you dont think it would be easy for me to establish your obsession with me? B3ta keeps a thread history
So, for the purpose of establishing who is the stalker, you find all the examples in the last few months when I've made an insulting reply to a neutral post of yours, and I'll list the ones where you did with mine, ignoring subsequent exchanges. I think the ratio must be about 40 to 1 on your side, and the 1 was when you were making a reference to me though not replying directly to me.
I'll let that stand for the case to you being a stalker in the eyes of somebody sensible, i.e. not yourself

This is a normal post tell me, when you imagine me deleting these threads
do you also imagine you've said clever and biting things, and the only reason you never get to see them is that I delete those specific threads and I just happen to leave the ones that unfairly make you look like spiteful poorly educated stalker, like all those i've listed below

{edit} here's a curious thing. I had another look for other examples when you've stalked me. I remembered one of you having another attempt to claw back lost face by claiming I'd used "disinterested" in the wrong sense. I remember proving you comprehensively wrong once again by showing you it was allowable in the dictionary.
But oddly, the humiliating thread for you had been deleted by someone trying to hide it. fortunately, b3tas code being what it these things aren't actually deleted, and turned up in search
you can see the thread for yourself https://b3ta.com/links/1538020, but when you click on {thread} for the full post, it disappears.
Like Trump, you're probably delusionally pathological enough to accuse others of your own transgressions, a bit like having fantasies it's the other person who's the stalker. It's also got my reasonable assessment of your stalking even three months ago which other might want to read, so I'm not surprised you deleted it, though I think even that was overestimating you

You say some things I agree with and others I don't, but until now you haven't been coming consistently antagonistic like prufock
As usual, I've provided several bits of evidence to support my claims, while others have none as they are baseless and motivated by bitterness. If I was deleting thread, you think there'd be someone mentioning it like they do with sockcooker. But I dont so they dont. But we have established that it's common behaviour for prufock

If you insist, here it is in full:
Thu 13 Apr, 2017
To Prufrock
sorry if I went in a little hard on you on the thread deletion thing. it's not normally my style to bully
I thought I'd made some reasonable points in response to the article you posted, making my case where I thought ken's actually claims had some merit and where he didn't, and how some of the arguments against him were a little strawmanish, and I concluded that a 1 year ban was about right. I got into an argument with another bloke, mr man, over some specific claims, rather than you. However, you then accused me of being a ken lover and an antisemite, which I thought was unwarranted. I came back from the pub to find you'd deleted the thread and then were making claims about what went on in it another, which got my back up. So I had a go at you. I like to argue on the internet as you may have noticed, but I prefer to keep it civil, so a genuine sorry for overstepping the mark.
*************End of message.

I think others will see it as someone trying his best to deal with a mentalist, speaking plainly as to what happened and apologising for retaliating. I don't think I'm the one who comes across as pathetic here.

It's odd that you counter an accusation of baseless lies with yet more baseless lies.
having something to say about a video is not "inserting yourself in a thread"
that is what you're doing, when two people are having an argument. It a public forum, but an annoying habit nevertheless, particularly as when you do it you suddenly feel the need to put your opinion at the end of every thread.
triggered in this sense is a modern usage that broadly means upset by something, usually but not exclusively on the internet. permatriggered is portmanteau indicating it's a continuous rather than a temporary state, as in an inability to get over being upset. I do hope your ignorance was feigned

This is a normal post Thing is, you do this a lot.
You make bold claims about your expertise in all things. "I taught British probationer coppers Powers of Arrest" is only vaguely true in a much, much smaller way than the misleading way you initially presented it.

By the way, the more things you claim to be an expert of, the more obvious it is that you're too stupid to realise how stupid you are.

Commenting on a links post is inserting yourself into a thread. It just is. I have not broken any formal etiquette by inserting myself into the same thread you inserted yourself into. You are trying to make an issue out of my imaginary faux pas to deflect attention from the fact that your audience is calling you out for bullshitting.

An audience that you acknowledge (e.g. "For the curious, here was the original thread....") and think you are performing for, like you're some kind of Bill Buckley.

I don't feel any 'sudden need' to put comments at the end of threads. My only sudden needs are rare and toilet based.

I still don't understand what permatriggered means in this situation, could you explain it much further please?

This is a normal post so, it upsets you that I know things?
Powers of Arrest was one of my specific projects that I headed, from scoping KLO's to delivering it. Along with criminal damage, misuse of drugs, and a few more that I can't recall now, it was a few years ago. It was set up to replace the traditional police FE colleges with probationers expected to pass or fail on the basis of my training, so it wasn't some namby pamby little side learning, but solid. We had three in-house legal whose only job was to check I'd got the legislation right. I'm not sure on what basis you accuse me of lying or exaggerating , but it seems little more than petty jealousy. I acknowledge that not everybody will be interested, and did so in my post with "at least to me", but I figured at least someone would be on the question of whether shouting 'arrest me' is an arrestable offence, and that's generally the basis B3ta should work on. Unlike others, I have a tedious stalker that attempts to troll or insult almost every time I post, and that's definitely not in the spirit of B3ta. Don't let yourself become one of them, brb

This is a normal post claiming I have delusions of grandeur for just talking about a job I had is pretty textbook jealousy, I'm afraid
and making constant attacks, as you've been doing this thread, also confirms that you are still very upset. I think you have in common with prufock an inability to accept, admit, or deal with it when you are wrong, and it manifests itself in increasingly desperate attempts to claw back loss of face by attacking the person who showed you up. I am not a expert in psychology, but there's something kind of broken, immature and pathetic about this kind of response. It reminds me of the discussion with Mr Penis yesterday about the racist who got punched, which was essentially "Does having mental issues excuse a person from being a cunt?"

This is a normal post The free trade agreement that we will do with the European Union should be one of the easiest in human history
we hold all the cards
they will be queueing up to do trade deals with us
we will adopt the Norway model
We will not be leaving the single market
There will be no downside to Brexit, only a considerable upside
The day after we vote to leave, we hold all the cards and we can choose the path we want
A free trade and customs agreement concluded before March 2019
A high-tech customs solution would make frictionless borders simple
Britain will take back control of its fisheries after Brexit
If we vote Leave, we will be able to increase funding to science and still save billions
There will be no change to the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic

Not forgetting the perennial, 'can't we just replace it?' followed by an explanation of how intertwined it is with everything else and just how much it will cost to rework everything around it and verify that the end result is still the same.

There were three VAX 4000s, clustered together sharing a stack of SCSI disks with at least one failed disk in there. I couldn't tell you what subtypes they were except that the name Model 500 seems to ring a bell.

My interaction with them was limited to pressing the power button and running whatever arcane command was required to get them running again whenever the power had died.

I couldn't even tell you if they had functional backups.
