https://m.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/health/coronavirus/more-than-1000-high-level-dup-messages-show-party-top-brass-mocking-the-catholic-church-laughing-at-rivalsand-deputy-first-ministers-care-for-the-vulnerable/a1175830802.html
Remarkable insight into DUP Executive team during the Executive after Edwin Poots handed over massive WhatsApp group – unlike Michelle O’Neill who deliberately wiped her messages after being given legal advice not to do so
More than 1,000 internal text messages between the DUP's most senior figures have been published by the Covid Inquiry, providing an unprecedented insight into what the party really thought and how it operated during the pandemic. The WhatsApp messages, some of which are acutely embarrassing for senior party figures, are being made public after they were given to the inquiry by former DUP minister Edwin Poots, now the Assembly Speaker, and have been published tonight.
That is in stark contrast to Sinn Féin, whose Stormont leader Michelle O'Neill admitted to the inquiry yesterday that she deliberately deleted everything from all her devices despite being warned by the Head of the Civil Service not to do so and despite being given written legal advice which specifically said text messages and WhatsApps should not be deleted.
So far, the inquiry hasn't published a single internal Sinn Féin message.
The DUP messages are from a WhatsApp group containing its Executive ministers, special advisers, and other senior party figures.
They show the party lampooning the Catholic Church, a message from Emma Little Pengelly that the public were looking for a "strong man", but also Mrs Little Pengelly's personal concern for some of the most deprived members of society, reminding colleagues that she came from a poor background.
The inquiry has made multiple redactions to the 63 pages of messages, some of which are hard to follow for that reason.
One of the individuals whose name has been blacked out appears to be Economy Minister Diane Dodds, who talks about going to vote in the European Parliament, and another is First Minister Arlene Foster, who confirmed that in oral testimony today.
However, there is no way to know how many other individuals were involved but have their names redacted.
The messages begin when Stormont returned at the start of 2020 following three years without devolved government.
Someone whose name has been blacked out by the inquiry said on 17 January 2020: "SF doesn't seem to have matured at all!!"
Emma Little Pengelly - then a special adviser but now deputy First Minister - replied sarcastically: "Well, why not - let English taxpayers subsidise our free prescriptions, lower rates, no water charges, lower tuition fees and free prescriptions...but hey, how dare you guys starve us of funding? #Perfidious Albion".
Agriculture Minister Edwin Poots responded: "And a £100m pa on welfare mitigation". Education Minister Peter Weir said: "Are any of [us] really surprised?"
The first reference to covid is on 23 January when an individual whose name has been blacked out said: "I hear there's a suspected case of this virus in RVH."
In apparent reference to Sinn Féin calling Michelle O'Neill 'joint head of government', someone said "this must be a new title bestowed on Michelle"; another person said: "they are at this all the time".
Another person whose name is hidden said: Certainly they cannot have that on official communications".
Mr Weir, whose messages are often laden with humour, said: "Perhaps I should start calling myself George Clooney, it's just as accurate".
The Education Minister said on 13 March: "I see on PA, Archbishop Eamon Martin is writing to me urging me to close all the schools. Wasn't aware of his qualifications in virology."
Someone whose name has been blacked out said: "Write back and tell him we don't live in the South and that his institution hasn't the best track record of looking out for the welfare of kids."
The following day, in an apparent reference to Sinn Féin, someone denounced "panicking people" and "totally irresponsible" behaviour.
On 14 March, in a reference to civil servants, someone said that "some of the officials don't inspire me".
The next day, Mr Weir said that solicitor Kevin Winters had launched a judicial review of the decision not to close schools. An unidentified person responded: "Read SF for KW". Mr Weir replied: "Indeed."
The messages show that DUP ministers genuinely believed they would be hurting people - and even endangering lives - by taking radical measures to shut down society.
But in their evidence to the inquiry several DUP ministers, including Arlene Foster and Edwin Poots, now accept that they should have locked down sooner.
On 14 March, Mr Weir said that "above all other considerations will be our protection of human life, which the best opportunity to do so is following the professional advice. If in the long run we can spare one extra family from the tragic loss of a loved one then we will have done the right thing rather than the politics of panic of others."
In another message, he said: "There is crazy stuff going about which if acted upon would simply cost lives."
On 15 March, Emma Little Pengelly lamented how teachers seemed to think they wouldn't be going to work once schools closed.
Mr Weir replied: "We could do with a few unnamed ministers not coming to work."
Two days later, Mr Poots said he was "under pressure with CAFRE", the agricultural college. Referring to Sinn Féin, he said: "The public are looking to us for leadership and we can't afford to be scrapping with them. That doesn't mean giving them want they want but need agreement."
Ms Little Pengelly's influence as Mrs Foster's key spad is evident. On 17 March, she set out how lockdown was likely days away and they needed to propose multiple measures including a single website for all pandemic information and "a stateswomanlike address to NI by FM and DFM".
She said: "We also need to be aware that in behaviour science terms we are now dealing with emergency, war time like circumstance - ergo people want to see what is termed in political science as 'strong man' political leaders - (now strong women..) - this is very well established. Strong and serious, calm and professional."
She urged ministers to be "empathetic and understanding" to the pressures faced by those struggling financially, reminding them that "those on working tax credit get free school meals (FSM}, many on that benefit DO work but may find themselves on reduced hours or redundant...and many of those on FSMs are our voters (I am saying this as a child who was a FSM child for many years)."
There is a gap of about a month in the messages. On 22 April, Mr Weir said: "Hargey has [another few words have been blacked out by the inquiry as 'irrelevant and sensitive']! She's had a tough paper round clearly."

As the title says, are mods playable or is that aspect of the game still bugged? Me and some friends recently decided to go back to Payday 2 after a few years and we were met with the game not even launching. A bunch of troubleshooting later I managed to get it to work for 2 of my friends by deleting the WSOCK32.dll (i believe this is the name) file and the game generated a separate file for them, I believe called IPHLPAPI.dll. Now after doing this they can run the base game with no mods, but as soon as they try mods it refuses to start again.
I on the other hand have not gotten my game to work so I'm reinstalling it after trying pretty much everything under the sun excluding going to the Overkill offices, giving them my PC and saying "plz fix".
So, has anyone gotten new or old mods to work or if you had the same issues can you recommend a fix? The game is the Steam version and we tried both options, the normal Payday 2 and the Modern CPU update option.
Thank you for taking the time to read and respond.

I can't seem to figure out why ChatGPT is only (as I believe) using an transformer architecture?
I mean like I am building an AI with the goal of being very, very accurate and efficient in generalization and just be very intelligent.
I am using several methods most of them already existing and few of them which I came up with.
My AI is divididen in parts:

1. Read, 2. Creative thinking, 3. Logical/Critical thinking, 4. Write, 5. Memory.

For read and write I am using existing architectures. And for the memory I am using something way different from AI but definitely makes the AI smart.
Thanks to my memory it can learn in real time based on prompts. Eg: 7+9 = 16. It still needs a ton of data to actually succefully perform addition relative to humans who don't need a ton of examples.
And when a user asks something, it will go through the read part so the AI "knows" what to do with it. Now all the magic happens at the creative thinking part. Because with my theory (haven't coded it yet, but in theory it should work.) it can actually generalize very, very well. The creative thinking part will use the info provided by the read part to acces the memory part and select the required information.
The memory stores only numbers. Numbers that setup neural networks. These numbers are important for retrieving the information stored in the memory. Thanks to my memory setup, the creative thinking part can link different NN with each other. For instance:
I = 7+8*2
The read part understands that it is an mathematical problem and thus passes the info to the creative thinking part. (The creative thinking part isn't always creative! I gave it this name because it has the ability to be creative but it also just gets the correct answer for for instance mathematical problems.) The creative thinking part will link order of operations with addition and multiplication and fires them in order. So thanks to order of operations it will know that it needs to do 8*2 first and then 7+16 = 23. This is an simple example of generalization. The concept is the same for other things. Like if we wanted to create an time machine, then it might link Physics, quantum physics, astrophysics with eachother (have no idea but that's what I think lol) Like blackholes cause time to slow down for you so yea it might link that with it and actually use that.
I have already created the memory part and the real-time learning system. It automatically overrides NN's in the memory with new information. Just like humans. And learns in real-time. I am saying NN's in the memory because all the memory stores is the values given by the learning phase when it succesfully learned to do something and never makes mistakes anymore. So weights, biases are stored and when it needs to be used, it will create an NN with the values to retrieve the answer. - The creative part sets up the NN with the values.
What I currently have works. The only thing that still needs to be coded is the creative part.
Now what I don't really get is, my approach (did not tell you everything) should in theory make the AI better but it is an fairly simple concept. If I told you, you would get an "ahhh" moment. Now ofcourse, the thing that actually makes my AI better than other current models is the creative part. The memory is very simple just like the learning phase. And without the creative part it is nothing. The memory I have and the learning phase just makes it to actually understand stuff. So this prevents it from delivering inaccurate information when it learned something.
The big difference right now between mine and others is that it doesn't respond based on patterns. Instead it bases it's responses on things it learned.
Now I understand that pattern recognition can indeed also make an AI very smart, but it will never actually really think and know what something is. Whereas in the creative part it does generate relevant or irrelevant thoughts but still accurate thoughts. And the memory is just basically stored knowledge which makes it know stuff. And right now that is probably the closest I will get to representing it to know stuff compared to humans.
Let me know your thoughts on this! I apologize for repeating some things if I did.

Bovada Sportsbook Review 2024

Bovada History
Bovada has firmly established itself as the most popular offshore online sportsbook for players in the U.S. Bovada covers a typical range of sports. It has a top-rated reputation for paying customers out on time, and we have always found the customer service at Bovada to be responsive and has multiple ways of staying in contact with a customer.

The customer service team works 24/7, 365 days a year. Bovada’s customer service team tends to be active across the web’s sports betting and gambling forums. There is chat, email and of course phone options for getting in touch with Bovada. If you are on X then there is a Bovada handle to follow.
Is Bovada safe? The site uses SSL encryption software to keep the connection secure. Bovada has been in business for over 20 years. If it was one of those rip off sites, then it would have gone out of business a long time ago. The team at Bovada has made it a premier offshore site and a large part of the credit goes to the responsive nature of the customer service department.
Website Experience
The Bovada site has all of the sports betting wagers than a US customer would expect. Ease of navigation, betting menu and overall aesthetics. It is easy to browse and the various sports and markets are laid out in an obvious manner. The site is devoid of unnecessary clutter.

You can switch from American odds to fractional or decimal odds.
Sports Betting Experience
Bovada offers a wide range of betting options for anyone that likes to bet on sports. All of the major sports are covered, football, basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer, tennis, golf, boxing, and UFC. They also offer smaller markets like, table tennis, badminton, winter sports, and Aussie rules. European sports like darts, snooker, cricket, rugby league, and rugby union will see them covered at Bovada.
As a US focused site, the United States customer will see their favorite sports offered with a large number of bets available. NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL fans will find betting options to choose from on each game. You will often find more than 100 different bet types on offer when you click on an NFL game. The odds include, spread, totals, and win as would be expected. However, Bovada provides fans with alternative spreads and props as well. Yes, Bovada offers same game parlays just like Fanduel and Draftkings do.

It is against Federal law for any betting site located in the United States to offer bets on politics.
Betting Menu Odds
Bovada generally offers everything you would expect from Draftkings or Fanduel. In fact, when Draftkings & Fanduel first started out, they were just clones of Bovada.
Mobile Betting App Review
The Bovada betting app is a browser extension. Bovada offers a mobile betting interface with all of the qualities of an app but with one big difference. An app from the Google or Apple app store would also include a lot of spywares. Your every movement would be tracked. This is how BetMGM and Caesars apps operate. They have access to all of your phone calls and text messages on your app. Bovada doesn't operate like this.

Understanding the Rollover
If you do not understand what a rollover requirement is then please take the time to read.
What is rollover?
Rollover, or playthrough, is the total monetary amount of bets (aka handle) you need to place in order to cash out your bonus along with any winnings attached to that bonus. When it comes to Rollover, your wins and losses don’t matter, each qualifying bet contributes to handle, and the Rollover required.
Sportsbook Details:
Meeting Rollover in our Sportsbook is a tad different. For winning wagers we’ll credit the lesser of the risk amount or win amount. If your bet loses, your risk amount contributes toward Rollover no matter what. However, bets graded 'No Action', a tie or Pushed bet, along with canceled or voided bets, do not contribute in any way to the playthrough requirements of a bonus.
Casino Details:
There are also some games in the Casino that contribute differently to your requirement.
For full bonus details, including the Playthrough Requirement for your bonus, click the drop-down menu or Bonus Description.
If the bonus you’ve claimed is a Deposit Match, the requirement is a multiplier of the Bonus + The Deposit Amount:
Ex. Deposit $100 + $100 Bonus = $200 X Rollover Multiplier (Varies by Bonus)

I was delivering some food today, I passed a cop and proceeded into the subdivision. I delivered the food and got back into my car and the police officer pulled up behind me and turned on their lights. Total disclosure, I knew my registration was expired, so I figured that was the reason for the lights. I figured I’d get a ticket and I’d be on my way. (I paid it immediately after this by the way, I just kept forgetting 🤦‍♀️)
When he came to the car he asked me for my stuff (valid license and insurance, which I had) and asked me to get out of the car. Which I did. I’m a nervous person, so I was shaking.
He said, “you know your registration is expired?” I said yes sir. He said, “and you have a warrant?” And I said no sir.
He told me to stand at the back of the car while he ran my stuff… I asked him what the warrant was and he said for AI (alcohol intoxication)…. I said no that’s not me, and he rolled his eyes.
I stood there terrified. And he came back with my stuff, no ticket and said I was free to go. He actually said to me to go buy a lotto ticket because today was my lucky day. The lady who has the warrant has the same full name as me and the birthday is just a few days off.
He acted like he was doing me a favor not giving me a ticket.
AITA for thinking this is so unprofessional? He shouldn’t have said I had a warrant when he didn’t know. I was so scared, even though I knew I did nothing.

I've finally made my set with two new characters in S4 so I now have four with the names Gord,Don, Free, Man. Giving our man from Half-Life some credit, lol.

Hi! Today, I'm super excited to introduce a service designed to help business owners to find clients, competitors, and new opportunities.
It's called Stackpointer - a business search engine, with an AI twist: https://stackpointer.ai
It allows you to search for businesses in plain English, including searches based on their tech stack. It provides details like business information, location, social media links and tech stack. Great for lead generation, as we offer the option to export search results.
After working for the tech industry for many years, about 6 months ago I decided to start my own business. While researching business ideas I needed a way to quickly see what's out there, what already existed. There are several business search engines out there but I found them either too expensive or somewhat clunky. I was particularly interested in filtering businesses based on their tech stack. I could use BuiltWith, their stack analysis is really good but I did find their business categorization to be inconsistent, their prices too big and their font too small :)
So I decided to start my own search engine. I created my own indexing engine that browses business' websites and indexes their information and tech stack. Stackpointer does not index random websites, we focus exclusively on verified businesses.
On top of this I added simple, ChatGPT-like search. So users can run very cool queries like:

or even better, tech-specific searches:

Additionally, I use real traffic information to rank all those businesses (Top 1k, 5k, 10k etc... most visited).
Searching is available for free upon signing up, with limited results. Subscription plans offer more results and the ability to export.
I'd love to hear people's feedback (quite nervous as a first time business owner!).

In the world of investing, meme stocks have taken center stage, captivating the attention of both seasoned traders and newcomers alike. Names like GameStop (GME) and AMC Entertainment (AMC) have become synonymous with the meme stock movement, characterized by volatile price swings driven by social media hype and retail investor frenzy.
But amidst the chaos and excitement of meme stocks, there's another player quietly making waves: Kendu. While GME and AMC may offer short-term pumps fueled by speculative trading, Kendu represents something different—a long-term opportunity for sustainable growth and wealth creation.
The Meme Game: GME and AMC
GameStop and AMC have become iconic symbols of the meme stock revolution, fueled by Reddit forums like WallStreetBets and viral social media campaigns. Investors flock to these stocks in search of quick pumps and adrenaline-fueled trades, hoping to capitalize on the next big squeeze or short squeeze.
However, the volatile nature of meme stocks means that gains can be fleeting, and losses can be steep. While some traders have struck it rich with well-timed trades, many others have been left holding the bag as prices plummet back to earth.
Kendu: A Different Kind of Meme
Enter Kendu, the underdog of the meme project world. Unlike GME and AMC, Kendu offers more than just short-term speculation—it represents a vision for long-term growth and community-driven success.
With the support of renowned figures like Shytoshi Kusama and a rapidly growing community of dedicated supporters, Kendu is poised to disrupt the meme project landscape. Unlike other projects that rely on paid influencers and artificial hype, Kendu's growth has been organic, driven by genuine enthusiasm and belief in the project's potential.
The Power of Community: Kendu's Secret Weapon
What sets Kendu apart from its meme stock counterparts is its focus on building a strong and united community. While GME and AMC may rely on fleeting social media trends and hype, Kendu's community is in it for the long haul, united by a shared vision of financial freedom and empowerment.
With exponential growth across all social media platforms and no signs of slowing down, Kendu is proving to be the people's project—a grassroots movement that has the potential to change lives and redefine the way we think about investing

Our Chance to Break Free: Kendu as the Path to Financial Freedom
For many investors, Kendu represents more than just a cryptocurrency—it's a chance to break free from the constraints of the traditional financial system and achieve true financial independence. With its promise of exponential growth and a guaranteed return, Kendu offers a safe haven in an uncertain world, providing investors with the opportunity to escape the matrix of 9-5 jobs and embrace a future of limitless possibilities.
While GME and AMC may offer short-term excitement and adrenaline-fueled trades, Kendu represents something greater—a chance to build wealth, empower communities, and rewrite the rules of finance. With the support of its dedicated community and influential backers like Shytoshi Kusama, Kendu is poised to soar to new heights and pave the way for a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Pathological Jealousy from a Forensic Psychiatric Perspective
https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/advances-in-psychiatric-treatment/article/aspects-of-morbid-jealousy/06CBB7BF78CC43C785AE6F7C0F0046C9
The fear of loss and hyperfocus on the fear of loss seems to be behind a lot of the behavior to do with jealousy.
"The threat of losing a partner is expressed cognitively, emotionally and behaviorally. At the beginning the dominant component is emotional, related to a threat of a personal loss (of a partner, relationship, plans, life, stability), negative attitude towards a rival, as well as a partner, the feeling of injustice and loneliness."
Anger at the fear of loss begins to emerge.
"According to Zywucka-Kozlowska and Wlodarcyzk, jealousy is an anger, occurring on certain circumstances, based on two elements; emotions and situations. Emotions arise from the construction of human psyche, while situation arises from conditionings of the external world. Jealousy understood as an emotion is based on the insecurity towards own self-worthiness as a person as well as own attractiveness (including sexual attractiveness) for the partner."
The anger motivates the aggression to mitigate the risk of fear of loss
"Change in a way of perceiving a threat of losing a valued partnership (hypothesis, suspicion, interpretation) in favor of a real or imaginary rival who would enter an emotional relationship with a partner. It is accompanied by a mixture of various interpretations of the partner's behaviors as well as those of the rival, which generate anxiety and incline a jealous person to search for evidence of infidelity or to actions aiming at prevention of potential infidelity. The jealous person accumulates sorrow, anger, hatred, bitterness, which can epitomize in accusations towards an erotic partner."
Feelings of inefficiency and inability to satisfy cause a sense of fundamental insufficiency that begins the anger that evokes jealousy
"Factors often listed as contributing to evoking jealousy in men are as follows: erectile dysfunction, a feeling of inability to satisfy a partner's sexual desires, decrease of women's sexual drive, differences in attractiveness of partners, experience of an actual infidelity in the past, feeling of inefficiency to fulfill social roles, or psychopathological disorders expressed by alcohol abuse, personality disorders and delusional syndrome."
Putting the cart before the horse of accusations freaking out the accuser is seen, causing more anxiety as there is no good way to respond to an irrational delusion.
"Simultaneously, suspicion and distrust towards the partner and other people grow, then imaginary accusations and convictions appear. Consequently, these convictions intensify the fear, fury and further anxiety which additionally increases the amount of false judgements."
They also show inability to control jealous thoughts
"Infidelity, however, are not able to suppress the key psychic aspect of their jealousy, namely intrusive thoughts about infidelity, which they cannot control. Jealousy in its overvalued idea takes on a form of a dominant thought, however, a jealous person does not have assumptions of the intensity of delusions."
This shows jealous behavior is linked to obsessive compulsive disorder, which is linked to fear of loss. Only its aggressive instantiation is linked to jealous behavior though.
Anger at the fear of loss increases stress which makes the brain's delusions more aggressive as happens whenever the brain is infused with excess cortisol.
"It is necessary for a person to display anxiety, fear of losing a partner or his or her position in the partnership, which should evoke stress and interfere with function of the jealous person, both people, or partnership."
Invasion of private areas of an individual's processing is a key signs of jealousy, as is the aggressive imposition of humiliating the partner to "get back" for their delusions where they were humiliated which never occurred
"Typical behaviors accompanying delusional jealousy include: multiple accusations about infidelity without sufficient evidence, demands for assertions or imposing of pledging faithfulness, humiliating and controlling partner's behaviors as well as demanding information concerning thoughts, views, and fantasies."
Overvaluation of the delusional idea also includes overreading of the facial expression for "signs" of confirmation. Hyperfixation on sentiment analysis may belie a deeper delusion behind the person hyperfixated.
"The so-called delusional activity comes down to realizing powerfully expressed need of control in form of various ways of manipulating, deceiving, searching for personal belongings, listening in telephone calls, and controlling correspondences. Emotions present at that time such as anger, sorrow, pain humiliation, fear and contradicting desired lead to increasing search for eventual evidence of infidelity, which could not be found, which in turn make neutral behavior acquire characteristics of these evidences."
Insatiability is seen on the jealous, showing extremes of violation to satisfy a delusional possessiveness, all the more disturbing when there is no actual partnership. The insatiability belies the psychotic instantiation
"A greater integrity of partnership, however, this lasts only a certain time. Usually, there comes a moment when a partner is not able to fulfill the expectations of a jealous person because it is infeasible. Attempts at leaving the above described constellation by one of the partners turn into an embers of anxiety, fear and evoke suspicion of disloyalty, to the pathological extent."
Schizophrenia, depression, substance use and OCD are all seen on those with pathological jealousy.
"On the other hand, Singh et al. indicated that the most common diagnoses related to morbid jealousy were schizophrenia (34%), depression (30%) and substance abuse (20%) jealousy with morbid intensity occurred also in bipolar affective disorder (6%) and other mental disorders. 10%-obsessive-compulsive disorder."
Expectation of reward and aggressive dopamine shunting as an irregularity were seen in these brains, linking jealousy to envy circuitry.
In confirmation of this, jealousy showed signs of behaving just like an addiction, trying to get a higher hit. Addiction is not logic, it creates rationalization.
"In respect to women, intensity of jealousy negatively correlated with the length of a relationship, and positively with the intensifying symptoms of an addiction."
False reception of various actions are treated as real, and memories are reinterpreted (and thus reconstructed) as pathological, leading to a strong emotional charge. Basically, reading neutral information wrong as often seen on the jealous leads to the anger that leads to fear of loss, and the stress that creates delusion.
"In delusional disorders focusing on a partner's infidelity, jealous people treat their false reception of various actions as real and intensify it by pathological interpretation of memories which are in turn strengthened by strong emotional charge. By doing this, quasi-logical systems of jealousy are created. They constantly accuse a partner of infidelity and stubbornly attempt to validate their suspicions by delusional activity. Sometimes, "interrogations" can take a form of tortures, and inspections are not limited to checking possessions, but also involve partner himself (including genitalia)."
Delusions of humiliation seem to be psychotic expressions of fear of loss, the fear of having lost while acting like one has not.
"It seems that in the case of people with increased levels of jealousy, situations when they feel moral pain associated with a false conviction that the environment knows about a partner's infidelity, can be especially painful. Situations n which they feel threatened, associate with a possibility of infidelity, disloyalty, embarrassment or humiliation (imaginary or real) weaken their self-control. Most often, there is a chronic situation of mental burden and increasingly growing tension."
Highly suspicious hostility leads to anxiety and negative attitudes towards other people.
"They are highly suspicious, which is expressed by hostility towards the environment, caution towards people, which leads to experiencing anxiety and negative attitudes towards other people."
Emotional-delusional explains a lot of the general type of rationalization, denial, and cart before the horse thinking seen on the jealous person.
"Przybylek at al.[30] drew similar conclusions and stated that in the group of emotional-delusional murderers there are perpetrators who, apart from delusional aspect, are motivated by revenge, feeling of injustice or feelings of insecurity and fear, which additionally weakens their ability to control their actions while committing a crime."
People with delusional jealousy often struggle to see their own jealousy or envy, showing again the denial element of the psychotic behavior witnessed. Lowered level of sense of illness (not admitting they have a problem) is a well known sign of an extremely high risk person for committing violence.
"Usually crimes motivated by jealousy are associated with a chronic psychotic process which is concentrated on a partner, a suspected rival, or other people who 'assist' infidelity. People with delusional jealousy have also a very low level of criticism towards own convictions. A lowered level of illness insight is a well-known factor of aggression risk, which should cause expert witnesses to balanced assessment in terms of the necessity of using security measures."

• "Are you telling me that well-educated people would come in the middle of the night causing a ruckus demanding someone be handed over?"

"에라이~!!"

• "You bastard~!!"

"내가 아는 당가는 싹 다 뒤지고 그새 다른 당 씨 놈들로 갈아 치웠다!"

• "The Tang Clan I know would have searched everywhere and replaced all the Tang members with new ones!"

"주둥이!!"

• "Shut your mouth!!"

"...실례가 많았습니다."

• "...I apologize for the rudeness."

"요놈의 주둥이! 주둥이!"

• "This brat's mouth! Mouth!"

"암! 암!"

• "Yes! Yes!"

"화산의 백천이라 합니다."

• "He is called Baekcheon of Mount Hua."

"백천...?"

• "Baekcheon...?"

"화정검이시오? 그렇다면 귀하께서 그 무당의 검룡을 꺾은 바로 그 사람이시군요."

• "The Huajong Sword? Then you must be the one who defeated the Sword Dragon of Wudang."

"과분하지만 그런 별호로 불리고 있습니다."

• "It's too much, but I am called by that nickname."

"드디어 말이 통할만한 사람이 나섰군..."

• "Finally, someone who can talk sense has stepped forward..."

"이미 뒤에서 다 들으셨을 테니, 번거롭게 긴 말 다시 하지 않겠습니다."

• "You've already heard everything from the back, so I won't bother repeating it."

"조 공자와 당가는 얽힌 것이 많습니다."

• "There are many entanglements between Sir Cho and the Tang Clan."

"그렇기에 저는 조 공자께서 화산에서 무엇을 얻으셨는지 오늘 이 자리에서 확인해 보고자 하는 것일 뿐."

• "Therefore, I just want to confirm what you gained from Mount Hua here today."

"조 공자를 데려와 주시지요."

• "Please bring Sir Cho here."

"제가 원하는 것은 그것뿐입니다."

• "That's all I want."

"황가가 아님에도 왕과 같은 권한을 행사하려는 저 모습... 이 성도 내에서 사천당가가 왕처럼 군림한다는 말이 사실이었나 보군."

• "Trying to exercise king-like authority despite not being royalty... It seems the rumor that the Tang Clan rules like kings within this city is true."

"어설프게 회피하려 들다가는 조경지 간령이 그 대가를 치를 가능성이 높다."

• "If you try to evade clumsily, Jo Kyung-ji will likely pay the price."

"그렇다면..."

• "In that case..."

"사숙. 제가 나가겠습니다."

• "Elder. I'll go."

"...걸아, 이게 대체..."

• "...Brother, what on earth..."

"...이게 대체 무슨 일이냐?"

• "...What on earth is happening?"

"나는 이해가 안 간다."

• "I don't understand."

"...화산의 명성이 높아졌기 때문에 벌어진 일입니다."

• "...This happened because the fame of Mount Hua has risen."

"저들은 성도의 유력가들이 당가의 지배를 벗어나길 원하지 않습니다."

• "They don't want the influential families of the city to escape the control of the Tang Clan."

"저를 내버려 둔다면 다른 유력가의 자제도 외지의 명문파로 갈 수 있다는 것을 알기에 이런 방식으로 제게 망신을 주어 애초에 싹을 잘라버리려는 것이죠."

• "They know that if they let me go, other children of influential families might also go to prestigious sects elsewhere, so they are trying to disgrace me and cut off the problem at the root."

"...허? 그게 말이야 되는 소리냐?"

• "...Huh? Does that even make sense?"

"...이게 이곳 사천 성도를 살아가는 이들의 방식입니다."

• "...This is how people live in this Sichuan city."

"그리고 사천을 지배한 당가의 방식이죠."

• "And this is the way the Tang Clan has ruled Sichuan."

"여기서 화산이 끼어들면 일이 더 복잡해질 겁니다."

• "If Mount Hua gets involved here, things will get more complicated."

"이 일은 제게 맡겨 주십시오."

• "Please leave this matter to me."

"...알겠다. 잠시 기다리거라."

• "...Alright. Wait for a moment."

"...사숙?"

• "...Elder?"

Here is the translation of the text in the tenth image:
"제 사질을 어찌 검증하겠다는 것인지 들어보고 싶군요."

• "I'd like to hear how you plan to verify my disciple's identity."

"...?!"

• "...?!"

"하하, 뻔한 것을 물으십니다."

• "Haha, you're asking something obvious."

"무인이 무인을 검증하는 방법이 다를 또 있겠습니까? 직접 손을 섞어 보면 알 일이죠."

• "Is there any other way for a martial artist to verify another martial artist? We'll know once we cross hands."

"그러니까, 사해상회의 이 공자이자 화산의 삼대 제자인 조경의 실력을 검증하고 그 결과를 성도에 공표하고 싶으니 조경을 내어 놓으라... 이 말씀이지요?"

• "So, you want to verify the skills of Jo Kyung, the prince of the Merchant Guild and a third-generation disciple of Mount Hua, and announce the results to the city, so you're asking to bring out Jo Kyung... Is that what you're saying?"
  "이건 사천당가의 행사입니다."
  
• "This is a Tang Clan event."
  

"방해는 용납하지 않겠습니다."

• "We will not tolerate any interference."

"물론입니다."

• "Of course."

"저희 화산은 사천당가의 행사를 방해할 생각이 추호도 없습니다."

• "We at Mount Hua have no intention of interfering with the Tang Clan's event."

"다만... 문제가 조금 있는데,"

• "However... there is a slight problem,"

"문제?"

• "Problem?"

"일을 방해할 생각은 없지만, 지금 이곳에 있는 이들이 조경을 인증하겠다는 말이 아닙니까?"

• "We don't intend to interfere, but are you saying that those present here will verify Jo Kyung?"

"...그게 왜 문제가 됩니까?"

• "...Why is that a problem?"

"...그 실력으로 말입니까?"

• "...With that level of skill?"

"...뭐?"

• "...What?"

"감히 화산의 삼대 제자를 검증하겠다고 나서시니,"

• "You dare to claim that you will verify the skills of a third-generation disciple of Mount Hua,"

"이쪽도 그에 걸맞은 대접을 해 드려야죠."

• "We should give you the appropriate reception."

"오십시오, 먼저 그쪽의 실력을 내가 검증해 드릴 테니."

• "Come on, I will first verify your skills."

"그러지 않겠다면, 내 사질에게는 손가락 하나 댈 수 없소."

• "If you refuse, you will not be able to lay a finger on my disciple."

"이건 화산의 행사요."

• "This is a Mount Hua event."

"방해는 용납하지 않겠소."

• "I will not tolerate any interference."

"사숙...!"

• "Elder...!"

"ㅋㅋㅋ"

• "Hehe."

"사고 치지 말라면서 자기가 사고를 치네."

• "You tell others not to cause trouble, yet you are causing trouble yourself."

"문파 꼴 잘~ 돌아간다."

• "What a well-functioning sect."

"화산 놈들은 단체로 머리가 돌아버리기라도 한 건가?"

• "Have all the Mount Hua guys gone mad together?"

"화산이 당가를 아주 졸로 본다는 뜻이로구나."

• "It means Mount Hua looks down on the Tang Clan."

"화산은 대단한 문파인 모양입니다."

• "Mount Hua seems to be an impressive sect."

"제자 하나를 보호하기 위해서 감히 당가의 앞을 막아서다니."

• "To dare to block the Tang Clan just to protect one disciple."

"이 일을 정녕 감당할 수 있다는 말이겠지요?"

• "Are you saying you can truly handle this matter?"

"화산은 문파의 제자를 보호함에 있어서 계산 따위는 하지 않습니다. 가장 우선시해야 할 것임이 명확하니 말이지요."

• "Mount Hua does not calculate when it comes to protecting its disciples. It is clear what must be prioritized."

"당가는 그렇지 않은 모양이지만."

• "It seems the Tang Clan is not the same."

"그리고 그럴 리도 없겠지만, 설사 이 일이 화근이 되어 화산이 멸문한다고 해도 화산의 제자 중 누구도 저를 탓하지 않을 겁니다."

• "And even though it is unlikely, even if this matter causes Mount Hua's downfall, none of Mount Hua's disciples will blame me."

"그게 화산입니다."

• "That is Mount Hua."

"...원망할 건데요?"

• "...I would blame you?"

"할 겁니다."

• "They will."

"ㅋㅋㅋ 혼자 너무 나간다"

• "Haha, you're going too far alone."

"아아~ ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 저 망할 놈들은 이럴 때까지 주둥아리를 못 닫아서..."

• "Ahh~ Haha, those damned bastards can't keep their mouths shut even now..."

"...근데 말이야... 왜 사숙이 싸워? 응...?"

• "...But seriously... Why is the elder fighting? Hmm...?"

"아까부터 자꾸 사숙이 나서는데 이건 조걸 사형의 일이잖아?"

• "You've been stepping in since earlier, but isn't this Senior Brother Jogal's matter?"

"사숙이 그런 쪽으로 욕심이 있다는 건 잘 알겠고, 충분히 멋졌으니까 이제 조걸 사형도 뽐낼 기회를 줘야지?"

• "We know Elder has ambitions in that direction, and you've shown off enough, so shouldn't Senior Brother Jogal get a chance to shine?"

"간만에 부모님도 만났는데. 저놈은 대체 당가를 뭐라고 생각하는 거지?"

• "It's been a while since I met my parents. What on earth does that guy think of the Tang Clan?"

"독과 암기로 유명한 당가를 상대로는 노련한 고수들도 고전을 치른다. 아주 작은 실수만으로 목숨이 위태로울 정도로 그들의 무공은 위험하니까."

• "Even experienced masters struggle against the Tang Clan, known for their poisons and hidden weapons. Their martial arts are so dangerous that a very small mistake could be fatal."

"그런 싸움에 실전 경험도 적은 조걸이를 내보내자고?"

• "You want to send Jogal, who has little real combat experience, into such a fight?"

"...너무 위험하지 않겠느냐?"

• "...Wouldn't that be too dangerous?"

"괜찮아~ 괜찮아! 범은 자기 새끼를 절벽에서 떨어뜨려 키운다고 했어."

• "It's fine~ It's fine! They say a tiger raises its cubs by throwing them off a cliff."

"이래서 윗사람들이란."

• "That's why those in higher positions are like that."

"촌에서 깨달았지. 누군가를 아끼고 감싸는 게 반드시 도움이 되는 건 아니라는 걸."

• "I realized in the village that coddling and protecting someone isn't always helpful."

"후인을 아낀다는 이유로 모든 일을 대신 해치워 버린다면 그들의 경험과 기회를 앗아가는 거나 마찬가지니까."

• "If you do everything for them under the pretense of protecting them, you're robbing them of their experience and opportunities."

"사숙은 조걸 사형이 그렇게 약해 보여?"

• "Does Elder think Senior Brother Jogal looks that weak?"

"절대 안 저. 적어도 저런 애들한테는."

• "Absolutely not. At least not to those guys."

"조걸에 대한 확연한 믿음... 확실히 나는... 조걸을 향한 막연한 불신이 있었을지도..."

• "A clear belief in Jogal... I definitely... might have had some vague distrust towards Jogal..."

"지면 안 되지!"

• "I can't lose!"

"내가 어떻게 굴렸는데!"

• "After how hard I trained him!"

"뒷말만 안 붙였어도 살짝 감동할 뻔했다."

• "If he hadn't added that last part, I might have been a bit moved."

"안 그래 사형?"

• "Isn't that right, Senior Brother?"

"청명..."

• "Cheongmyeong..."

"저놈이 나서준다면 분명 이 일도 쉽게 해결될지도 모른다."

• "If that guy steps in, this matter might be resolved easily."

"끝난다고~"

• "It will end~"

"하지만 언제까지...?"

• "But until when...?"

"언제까지 저놈의 등에 숨어 모든 일이 쉽게 해결되기만을 바랄 수만은 없잖아..."

• "You can't just hope for everything to be easily resolved by hiding behind that guy forever..."

"녀석의 짐이 되고 싶은 생각은 추호도 없다."

• "I don't want to be a burden to him at all."

"애초에 그걸 생각이었다면 이번 문방행에 따라나서지도 않았을 거야."

• "If I had thought that way from the beginning, I wouldn't have joined this expedition."

"당장 너석과 대등할 수 없다는 건 알고 있다."

• "I know I can't match you right now."

"하지만 적어도 도움이 되고 싶다."

• "But I want to be helpful at least."

"정하다니까."

• "I've decided."

"진다."

• "I'll fight."

"지지 않는다."

• "I won't lose."

"이건 그런 문제가 아니야."

• "This isn't that kind of problem."

"나와 사천당가 사이의 문제이니 내가 해결해야 할 뿐."

• "This is a problem between me and the Tang Clan, so I have to solve it."

"그뿐이다."

• "That's all."

"사숙."

• "Elder."

"사숙의 뜻은 잘 알고 있습니다."

• "I understand your intentions well, Elder."

"하지만 이건 제가 해결해야 할 일입니다."

• "But this is something I must resolve."

"...걸아."

• "...Brother."

"... 할 수 있겠느냐?"

• "... Can you do it?"

"저도 화산의 제자입니다."

• "I am also a disciple of Mount Hua."

"예!"

• "Yes!"

"... 그러니까 도리에 맞게 내가 앞에 나서야 하지 않겠소."

• "... Therefore, it is only right that I step forward."

"...감히..."

• "...How dare you..."

"저, 저건... 녹피 장갑!!"

• "That's... the Green Leather Gloves!!"

"저 장갑을 낀다는 것은 독을 쓰겠다는 신호이자 비무에 자비가 없을 것이라는 예고...!!"

• "Wearing those gloves is a signal that he will use poison and a warning that there will be no mercy in the fight...!!"

"안 돼, 말려야 한다...!! 걸이가 위험해!!"

• "No, I must stop this...!! Brother is in danger!!"

"다, 당 소협... 이 일은 아버지!"

• "S, Sir Tang... this matter is... Father!"

"...걸아...?"

• "...Brother...?"

"이건 사형님의 일이기도 하지만 화산의 일이기도 합니다."

• "This is not only Senior Brother's matter but also Mount Hua's matter."

"저를 믿고... 기다려주십시오."

• "Please trust me... and wait."

"...사천당가."

• "...The Tang Clan."

"한때 내게 당가의 이름은 두려움과 공포의 상징이자, 극복할 수 없는 벽과도 같았다."

• "At one time, the name of the Tang Clan was a symbol of fear and terror to me, like an insurmountable wall."

"성도 상가의 자제로 태어나 어린 순간부터 언제나 머리 위에 존재했던 전형(典型)처럼."

• "Since I was born as a child of the noble families of Sichuan, the Tang Clan has always loomed over me like a stereotype."

"하지만 지금은 다르지. 화산에서 무엇을 얻어 왔는가? 너무 많아서 입으로는 설명할 수 없어."

• "But now it's different. What have I gained from Mount Hua? It's too much to explain with words."

"그러니 이 검으로 보여줄 수밖에."

• "So I have no choice but to show you with this sword."

The foremost claim that (so called) libertarians make for their model of society is that it respects and promotes individual liberty, and allows people to pursue their own lives, in their own way, without the interference of others. Further they argue that other non-libertarian political ideologies, and personal beliefs, can be accommodated. Those who wish to be socialist, in a libertarian society, can band together, buy a parcel of land to live on and then set up a socialist society there, free from the interference of others. Likewise for religious groups and people with other beliefs.
Libertarians claim that the only economic order that respects individual freedom, is the free market. To them the free market is an exemplar of freedom in action. At the heart of the free market, is the voluntary bilateral exchange. If two parties exchange some goods, voluntarily, or make some contract voluntarily, then so long as this does not involve the violation of another's rights, no one has the right to interfere in it. According to libertarians the free market is the sum of the voluntary exchanges, and contracts going on in a society, nothing more and nothing less. Any distribution that occurs in the operation of a free market, is therefore just since at no stage has anyone's rights been violated, and all the exchanges were voluntary.
It seems to me that the above view ignores an important fact. The people involved in a free market must accept the rules of its operation, namely the rules that forbid attacks on others, using another's property without their consent, trespass, and fraud. This means that the free market has to include the mechanisms for deterring crimes, and mechanisms for compensation and punishment should such crimes be committed. The amount of coercion required to prevent such crimes, depends on the level of acquiescence of the population to the free market rules. In other words, the market is in fact the exchanges that go on as mentioned above, plus the policing, arbitration and legislating mechanisms required to ensure its operation. Hence, like the state, the market is a social institution, and the distributions of goods that result from its operation are therefore the distributions sanctioned by a libertarian society.
Libertarians are unanimous in viewing coercion as a violation of liberty, thus if you are forced to give money to the government to provide welfare, then you are being coerced and your liberty violated. The only legitimate use of coercion, according to libertarians is in enforcing people's rights. Libertarians legitimise coercion in these circumstances, and the amount of coercion required to enforce these rights depends on how willing people are to respect them. Hence it cannot be the case that a free market is free from coercion, unless everyone voluntarily respects these rights and abides by the law. For a libertarian to claim that a libertarian society is totally free in this sense, and justify it by saying that they expect everyone to respect property rights in this way, is on a par with a socialist claiming that a socialist society is free from coercion, because they expect everyone to be willing to accept the socialist's laws. Arguing that the free market they depict is an ideal that is free of coercion, but the practice requires some coercion to prevent people from violating rights, doesn't help either - the socialist can argue the equivalent point in defence of their position! A libertarian may concede that coercion is required to protect rights, but that other than that, the free market is free of coercion, and will be freer of coercion than a non-libertarian society.
However, as I said before, the amount of coercion required depends on how willing the citizens are to accept a free market order. If the citizens of a society do not want a libertarian order, it may require a lot of coercion to impose it, likewise if the citizens want socialism it won't require as much coercion to get it. In other words, what determines the amount of coercion required in a society, is the extent to which people are willing to accept the rules imposed on them, and this is as true of a libertarian, society as it is of any other. Thus, it is debatable that a libertarian society would have less coercion in it than a non-libertarian one. The libertarian can argue that at least the use of coercion is legitimised only in explicit circumstances where rights have been violated, but then a non-libertarian could argue the same for their proposed model of society too.
You will notice that I have supposed that to prevent someone from doing something he wants to do is to make him, in that respect, unfree; I am pro tanto unfree whenever someone interferes with my actions, whether or not I have a right to perform them, and whether or not my obstructor has a right to interfere with me. But there is a definition of freedom which informs much libertarian writing and which entails that interference is not a sufficient condition of unfreedom. On that definition, which may be called the rights definition of freedom, I am unfree only when someone prevents me from doing what I have a right to do, so that he, consequently, has no right to prevent me from doing it. Thus Robert Nozick says: “Other people’s actions place limits on one’s available opportunities. Whether this makes one’s resulting action non-voluntary depends upon whether these others had the right to act as they did.” Now, if one combines this rights definition of freedom with a moral endorsement of private property, with a claim that, in standard cases, people have a moral right to the property they legally own, then one reaches the result that the protection of legitimate private property cannot restrict anyone’s freedom. It will follow from the moral endorsement of private property that you and the police are justified in preventing me from pitching my tent on your land, and, because of the rights definition of freedom, it will then further follow that you and the police do not thereby restrict my freedom. So here we have a further explanation of how intelligent philosophers are able to say what they do about capitalism, private property, and freedom. But the characterization of freedom which figures in the explanation is unacceptable. For it entails that a properly convicted murderer is not rendered unfree when he is justifiably imprisoned.
Even justified interference reduces freedom. But suppose for a moment that, as libertarians say or imply, it does not. On that supposition one cannot argue, without further ado, that interference with private property is wrong because it reduces freedom. For one can no longer take it for granted, what is evident on a normatively neutral account of freedom, that interference with private property does reduce freedom. On a rights account of what freedom is one must abstain from that assertion until one has shown that people have moral rights to their private property. Yet libertarians tend both to use a rights definition of freedom and to take it for granted that interference with his private property diminishes the owner’s freedom. But they can take that for granted only on the normatively neutral account of freedom, on which, however, it is equally obvious that the protection of private property diminishes the freedom of nonowners, to avoid which consequence they adopt a rights definition of the concept. And so they go, back and forth, between inconsistent definitions of freedom, not because they cannot make up their minds which one they like better, but under the propulsion of their desire to occupy what is in fact an untenable position. Libertarians want to say that interferences with people’s use of their private property are unacceptable because they are, quite obviously, abridgments of freedom, and that the reason why protection of private property does not similarly abridge the freedom of nonowners is that owners have a right to exclude others from their property and nonowners consequently have no right to use it. But they can say all that only if they define freedom in two inconsistent ways.
The justification of property rights on the grounds of the (moralised) freedom of the property owner is circular. This is so because the truth of the proposition that P’s freedom to use X is violated, on this account, depends on X being P’s property. So P's ownership of X cannot be based on the fact that P’s freedom is violated. For example, suppose 1 have a justified (property) right to the chair I am sitting on. If you take the chair away from me then you violate that right and, therefore, also reduce my (moralised) freedom. But if you were to inquire as to the justification of my right to the chair I could not point to the reduced freedom of not respecting that right since whether or not my freedom is reduced, on this account, depends on whether or not I have a (justified) right to the chair.
In fact there are two independent circular arguments involved in such an account of the relation between property rights and freedom. The first concerns the justification of the extent of the right (justifying property), the second concerns the distributional question (drawing the boundaries). Does respect of my freedom require a recognition of my right to sit on the chair? To move it from one place to another? To allow others to use it? To transfer my right to another? and so on. That depends on whether my freedom is violated when I am prevented from doing any of the specified actions. But whether my freedom is violated depends on whether or not I have the specified rights. So the issue of how far my right to the chair extends — control, income, transfer, and so on - cannot be settled by reference to my freedom to do any of those things since that freedom itself depends on the extent to which I have that right. That is the first circular argument aiming to justify my property (rather than any lesser) right on a moralised notion of freedom.
Does respect of my freedom require the recognition of my exclusive right to sit on the chair? Why does respect for my freedom impose such a requirement, but respect for your freedom or anyone else’s does not? In other words, why is my freedom violated when I am prevented from using the chair and your freedom is not when you are prevented from using it? Whether or not our respective freedoms are violated depends on whether you or I have such a right. So the issue of who has the right to the chair - I rather than you - cannot be settled by reference to my freedom to do any of those things since that freedom itself (and your lack of freedom or unfreedom) depends on the fact that I, rather than you, have that right. That is the second circular argument aiming to justify my (rather than anyone else’s) property right on a moralised notion of freedom.
