Fri 05:38:00 │ 〖cmb〗 │ "<IsambardPrince> B: Let the sun partially melt it a bunch of times and then have it re-freeze every night until there's a skating rink instead of a parking lot, which costs you nothing." My grandmother was an apartment manager, and she claimed that by law, if they shoveled the sidewalks, they were responsible if somebody fell. If they didn't shovel, it was an act of Gaud, so they weren't responsible.
Fri 05:39:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The law here says that if you don't shovel, you ARE responsible if someone falls.

Fri 06:05:28 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] Whenever you get a chance to put the boot to IBM's collective executive backside by ignoring their bids for contracts or using products, you should do it. After all, they treated you like garbage, it is time to return the favor, and send then into the dumpster of he-l. They will go under after all the evil that they have done to honest and hardworking employees from Gerstner to Alvind. There is no getting around this - word gets a

What goes around, comes around - it's karma, and no one who participates in evil escapes, especially IBM managers and executives. Yes Alvind, you can run but you and your evil managers cannot hide.

Fri 06:09:05 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ She said her foster parents were extremely religious and the kids at school would say "Hey Kung Pao Chicken!" and other racist stuff that didn't really require much thought.

Fri 06:12:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Decades of "one child" means if it's a girl, it gets aborted, left to die on the sidewalk, sent to a country that takes care of children, or your in-laws in another village who haven't been able to have children suddenly have yours and you become the aunt and uncle.

Fri 08:37:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], Yes, the stalking app is apparently one of the ways that a FWB from 20 years ago that I have nothing to do with now can make money.
Fri 08:37:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He must have lost his mind since I last saw him. Illinois convicted him of coming here with meth.
Fri 08:38:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Of course in the end all they really wanted as punishment was for him to pay A LOT OF MONEY to the state.

Fri 08:49:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's Illinois so they haven't done anything about this.

Fri 09:24:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], The EMTALA law requires the ER to treat you if you have no insurance.

Fri 09:25:03 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then a MASSIVE bill comes in the mail.
Fri 09:25:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And they don't explain in English why you owe that.
Fri 09:25:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They say "only 6%" of Americans have no health insurance whatsoever.
Fri 09:26:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But the truth is, a lot of the insurance is junk, and denies things, and says the hospital they took you to while you were going to die was out of network.
Fri 09:26:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So half of all Americans, something like that, have medical debt.
Fri 09:26:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then it follows you around on your credit report like a gypsy curse.
Fri 09:26:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ (sorry MinceR)
Fri 09:27:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Fucking up your ability to buy a car or house or rent an apartment.
Fri 09:27:27 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Instead of fixing it, the credit bureaus panicked that there were fewer people to lend to.
Fri 09:27:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So they created a new FICO model that softens the blow and gives you "credit" for paying the collections.
Fri 09:28:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It ignores small medical bills under $500, so the doctor always makes sure they're over $500 now. :)
Fri 09:29:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ In the middle of all this, the insurance companies are required to cover all the Brandon Lobsters getting Lobsterbotomies.

Sat 15:13:16 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ FSF fund-raiser: 212k now. As seen at top of https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/
Sat 15:15:19 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ Gulagboy appears to have hit a cycle of illness-depression-illness. Abusing and defaming people is a recipe for personal tragedy.
Sat 15:16:48 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ So defaming FSF people will generally get hard and also legally risky (there are papers in the UK High Court naming at least 3 FSF Board members/FS people, as examples of people abused online), as shall become apparent one day
Sat 15:17:25 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ So thanks to Techrights, Gulagboy already needs to be super-careful with his online conduct
Sat 15:18:05 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ Also to avoid restraining orders and injunctions in case his abuses carry on
Sat 15:19:33 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ Today, exactly 3.5 months since this http://techrights.org/n/2024/09/06/Why_We_Are_Suing_Matthew_J_Garrett_for_Harassment_and_Why_It_s_.shtml , Gulagboy has failed to file a Defence. Stalling, delaying, making excuses like a spoiled kid.
Sat 15:20:46 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ Because some people simply cannot accept the idea they do something illegal, they always see them (themselves) as the victims. Apparently adding "SJW" on your name makes you immune to criticism AND always the victim.
Sat 15:21:52 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ In the legal system, however, putting "SJW" flair next to the name does not win you legal battles like social control media with "warrior" editors (moderators who love banning critics of rich people and big corporations)
Sat 15:22:36 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ This is why Techrights is winning this and Gulagboy is now retreating to Microsoft for "HELP!"
Sat 15:24:21 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ And of course he still reads everything in IRC (and makes this known). Talking in IRC, however, would be way too risky for him. He just hides behind Mustafa and sends threatening letters every now and then. Not worth the paper it's typed on.

Sat 22:50:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Few people ever act against a dictator because bad things can happen to them and their families.
Sat 22:51:10 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ if they won't act against the dictator, bad things _will_ happen to them and their families
Sat 22:51:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Even when they don't do anything. Like what happened to Rommel.
Sat 22:52:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Right, do something and fail, you die.
Sat 22:52:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Don't do something, maybe they still murder you.
Sat 22:53:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ What a wonderful country so full of options.
Sat 22:53:57 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ if they don't murder you, they'll torture and/or enslave you
Sat 22:54:06 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ which is even worse
Sat 23:05:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ After 4 years of Biden destroying our national currency and pretending like spending trillions has nothing to do with inflation...
Sat 23:05:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Dollars spend as quickly as pennies used to.
Sat 23:06:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ When he took office, you could buy 60 eggs for less than $5.
Sat 23:06:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Now 18 of them cost me $7 today.
Sat 23:07:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Also, I've stockpiled hundreds of pounds of coffee.
Sat 23:07:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They like to print expiration dates a few months after you buy it, to discourage that.
Sat 23:07:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But the truth is that it stays good for years if it's vacuum packed and stored correctly.
Sat 23:08:53 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ well, then all they have to do is either not vacuum pack it correctly, not store it correctly, or both.

Sat 23:24:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And another 3 18 pound bags of cat food.
Sat 23:24:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, I've been like this ever since 2020 when I couldn't get enough cat food.
Sat 23:25:05 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Luckily my mom had a few bags that her cat wouldn't eat and she gave me some so mine didn't run out and starve.
Sat 23:25:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Now I always have at least 80-100 pounds dry cat food on hand.
Sat 23:26:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then they had some at the school that the company was passing out as a "cat food bank" while the store didn't have any.
Sat 23:26:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I mean, we were close to having nothing to feed the cats.
Sat 23:31:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then Element says Action|Toast Update
Sat 23:31:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Yes, I would love to update my action toast.
Sat 23:31:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That sounds delightful.
Sat 23:32:06 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Sat 23:32:16 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ but you can't update your Action Toast
Sat 23:32:23 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ you can update either your Action or your Toast.
Sat 23:32:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Well, I love Toast, but it would mean skipping this round of Action.
Sat 23:32:50 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ or maybe you need to binary OR together Action and Toast to find out what you can update
Sat 23:33:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But if you're non-binary you can do both?
Sat 23:33:44 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ if you're non-binary maybe you just can't determine what you can update
Sat 23:34:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Or like the binars from Star Trek.
Sat 23:34:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ This is 10, and this is 01.
Sat 23:34:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ :D
Sat 23:34:55 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ any relation to Bynarr?
Sat 23:34:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Oh.
Sat 23:35:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Meh.
Sat 23:35:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/12/20/2292967/-Ukraine-Invasion-Day-1-032-In-RU-scooter-clemencies-you-Trump-wants-5-NATO-defense-spending
Sat 23:35:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, ^
Sat 23:35:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Nice graphic.
Sat 23:38:30 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ so apparently you can update your U<DEL>u{<DEL>n.
Sun 01:23:53 │ 〖lxo〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], belated happy birthday! been mostly off social media these days (including techrights.org web site, that's connected in my mind and my routine for some reason) and missed it :-(
Sun 02:03:58 │ 〖psydruid〗 │ https://apnews.com/article/wealthy-elite-colleges-lawsuit-admissions-2a00dc01ac370d37b46b2483ddbb1c32
Sun 02:27:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I was looking at the Soviet T-34 tank. There was a case where a single German tank destroyed over 30 of these things in one go before it was too damaged by the T-34s to keep going.
Sun 02:28:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But the problem the Nazis had was they'd build one of those stupid Panzers, it cost a fortune, it was a gaz guzzler, then it would just get out there and break down or suffer damage and you couldn't field repair it.
Sun 02:28:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They couldn't build them as quickly.
Sun 02:28:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So losing one of them hurt.
Sun 02:28:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But when they did work, they could definitely inflict damage.
Sun 02:29:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Technical superiority doesn't matter muuch when your enemies are cranking out 10 times as many tanks.
Sun 02:30:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The British were getting the American Sherman tanks and just putting a bigger gun on it iirc.
Sun 02:30:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The standard one on the US tanks was not impressive. It was difficult to penetrate thick armor on a Panzer.
Sun 02:31:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If you could get that bigger gun on it you were more evenly matched. Armor not as good, but fast.
Sun 02:31:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You just had to find a weak spot like tread or try to use a high explosive shell and hit under the turret and hope to jam something.

Sun 04:01:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Canada doesn't recognize "Palestine" as a "country".
Sun 04:01:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Actually many don't.
Sun 04:01:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So why does Wikipedia?
Sun 04:01:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Shouldn't Wikipedia at least say a "semi-recognized" country?
Sun 04:03:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It has been a non-member observer state of the United Nations General Assembly since November 2012.[4][5] This limited status is largely due to the fact that the United States, a permanent member of the UN Security Council with veto power, has consistently used its veto or threatened to do so to block Palestine's full UN membership.[6][7]
Sun 04:03:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ LOL
Sun 04:03:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ US law also requires us to defund any UN body that recognizes Palestine.
Sun 04:03:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So if they recognize it, they have to figure out how to deal with a 29% budget cut or raise assessments on other members.
Sun 04:05:49 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ that's easy, communist china would pay for it
Sun 04:06:12 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ using money the USA gives to them, effectively in exchange for slave labor
