Here’s that image seemingly posted to Imgur by the photographer

They likely just clicked something like “copy URL” somewhere and that’s what it gave them.

Asphodel, most likely.

Could we get some more meme with that jpeg?

Could it really be that shrimple?

Shhhh… we can just pretend.

Jabba could’ve been NalHutta

To add to that, to effectively use docker and basically anything important for self-hosting is to learn the basics of Linux.

Right. That seems like more effort than it’s worth in comparison to how much I care about the situation. As you say, the guy was already a piece of shit. That’s why it’s easy for me to believe, especially considering the evidence. Anything that may point out the evidence is invalid is pretty buried or seems to only be spread among areas that have an interest in that narrative.

Anyway, thanks for the info and discussion.

At first I read the title as

How much pareidolia is too much?

And I was bracing for a fun thread, but then my brain caught up and now I’m disappointed.

You’re seriously overly concerned and worked up over the fact I simply disagree with you and have evidence supporting my reasoning.

I thought you were saying that you don’t care about me? You seem to care a whole lot about what I think, considering you’re trying real hard to be insulting, but you just look like a fool instead.

Move on, kiddo.

Hmm. I don’t see where the state did not think the logs were real. AFAIK they were pulled from the website’s database. The BTC transactions match up, too.

I think I’ve seen people conflate “there is no evidence that anyone was killed” and them not believing the whole thing, but attempting to hire and the falsified “success” of the supposed murders can be both true.

Honestly, the only places I’ve seen anything that tries to dismiss or question the accusations are right-leaning libertarian biased sites. Reason.com is often cited and say ““they cite their sources”” but their citations are nearly all just links to blog posts and opinion articles on the same site. I have no reason to believe or trust what they say about it, and I’ve already done more than I care to check the validity of their claims, which again are opinions.

I’m having trouble finding where that’s explained. With all I’ve seen, I have not seen anything mention that.

He also paid to have someone assassinated*, who then just lied to him saying it was done

*Allegedly. Not convicted, but also not exonerated.

I never claimed he was proven guilty or convicted. I’m only stating there is valid evidence that he paid for an assassination.

You say the case was dismissed due to a lack of evidence, but I’ve seen no proof that was the actual reason for dismissal. Also “not enough evidence” doesn’t invalidate existing evidence, it just means there is not enough that meets very specific requirements for a conviction, not that a person could not logically conclude an event happened as a matter of personal opinion.

Again, “innocent until proven guilty” does not mean a person can’t be personally judged by individuals, as a matter of personal opinion, for that person’s actions simply because a court of law had not convicted him of it. Especially if there is evidence of those actions.

For example, it’s clearly obvious that OJ Simpson murdered his wife and another person. But he was not convicted of it.

There is evidence, though. I provided a reputable source that states such. So, you’re just misrepresenting my point.

The government also presented evidence that DPR commissioned the murders of five people to protect Silk Road’s anonymity

“Innocent until proven guilty” doesn’t exonerate a person from personal judgement based on facts simply because they have not been convicted in a court of law.

Edit -

Also, just because a case has been dropped doesn’t mean they weren’t guilty. Based on evidence, it’s more than reasonable to state he attempted to have someone assassinated.

You’re also going to need to provide more supporting information than a single article that’s a clear opinion piece written by a business that is biased towards supporting Ulbricht. You also share this bias being an apparent libertarian yourself, which could imply you cherry-picked this article.

Not that I can’t change my mind, but that one link ain’t gonna do it.

Well, that’s not quite what happened. There is evidence he ordered the hit and paid for it. The tainted cop tricked Ulbricht into thinking that the killing took place.
