Sat 20:28:42 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ https://www.oglaf.com/sponsor/
Sat 21:57:38 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], AI: Whatever takes the focus off: Hyperinflation, no jobs, the Gestapo asking people for proof of citizenship after being detained for no Constitutional reason other than "Do you want to be fucking killed like we did to that lesbian bitch!? Just hand us the fucking card, man!"
Sat 22:00:55 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], Trump is having a meltdown over rumors of him considerig Jamie Dimon for Fed Chair.
Sat 22:01:09 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ He says, actually, he'll sue Chase Bank for debanking him after January 6th.
Sat 22:01:16 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Well, hard to say who to root for.
Sat 22:01:41 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ In this corner, one of Epstein's many clients, and in the other corner, the First Bank of Jeffrey Epstein.
Sat 22:02:22 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They did business with Epstein and the people at Private Client even joked and laughed about him being a pedophile, and when they were sued for conspiring with him, by his victims, they very quickly settled for a lot of money.
Sat 22:04:09 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Don't ever log into Chase from behind a VPN.
Sat 22:04:45 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ If you so much as fart wrong they lock you out and you can't pay your credit card bill or (if you have a bank account) have access to YOUR money again until next week when the bank is open, if you can get an appointment.
Sat 22:21:46 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Chase is actually one of the most secure banks I've ever seen, as far as online stuff.
Sat 22:22:08 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ If they see a VPN they lock your account immediately and you have to go to a branch and show them your driver's license or a passport or something.
Sat 22:22:42 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I think that's pretty obnoxious really so I'd never put money there, but they have some neat credit cards.
Sat 22:23:01 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ There's a point where security gets too obnoxious no matter how well it works.
Sat 22:24:27 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, Someone said the Apple Card was great because there's no late payment fees.
Sat 22:24:48 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I said if you're stretched so thin you can't make at least the minimum payment by the due date, you should not have any credit cards.
Sat 22:25:27 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Who cares what the late fee is if you can set up autopay for the minimum payment "just in case".
Sat 22:25:45 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I mean, it'll save you from a $39 fee if you forget or you're in the hospital or something and can't pay it.
Sat 22:26:12 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ People who care about late fees are paying their bills late all the time because there's no money.
Sat 22:26:57 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It not only means you couldn't pay the card off in full, which is already a reason to not have credit cards.
Sat 22:27:09 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It means you couldn't even make the interest payment which is reason to REALLY not have one.
Sat 22:27:52 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ On the way to "charging off" your card will hit you with six late payments and interest of about 25-45% depending on your credit and what sort of card it was.
Sat 22:28:06 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They'll double what you owed them then charge it off and sell it.
Sat 22:28:26 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ A lot of banks are like hospitals, they want to keep their name out of it so they don't have a reputation for raking people over the coals.
Sat 22:28:38 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So it'll be a debt collector that doesn't care what their reputation is.
Sat 22:28:49 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Like Midland Funding or LVNV or Helvey and Associates.
Sat 22:29:25 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ As long as the bank doubles what you actually spent, if they can even get 40-50 cents on the dollar for the account, they did not lose much.
Sat 22:29:46 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ Chase Your Money, eh?
Sat 22:29:57 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, Their credit card is called Chase Freedom.
Sat 22:30:03 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Sat 22:30:08 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ What a cruel name for a product that charges 30% interest and late fees.
Sat 22:30:22 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ well, you can Chase it but never reach it
Sat 22:30:24 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ We used to have another name for this sort of a product.
Sat 22:30:27 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Loan Sharking.
Sat 22:30:55 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Most States in the US set their usury law for any type of loan at about 20-22%.
Sat 22:31:19 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ how does Chase get around that?
Sat 22:31:19 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But the banks won court cases that allowed them to pick a State to locate in and charge that State's usury rate.
Sat 22:31:23 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ lol
Sat 22:31:31 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ After they won the court cases, South Dakota repealed the usury law.
Sat 22:31:40 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And I think Citi was the first bank to be located in South Dakota.
Sat 22:31:43 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ :)
Sat 22:31:54 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So there is no usury limit now.
Sat 22:32:19 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They were one of the first.
Sat 22:32:35 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Because before that they were based in New York State and they were only charging about 8% on credit cards.
Sat 22:32:45 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They saw them as being "like a personal loan" just on a card.
Sat 22:32:54 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But obviously those days are long gone.
Sat 22:33:30 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So Trump's idea of a 10% interest rate cap on credit cards is actually not _terrible_.
Sat 22:33:43 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I would argue probably 14% is where it should be.
Sat 22:33:59 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The banks tend to base it on the Prime Rate and then there's a profit margin.
Sat 22:34:05 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So Prime is 6.25% right now.
Sat 22:34:14 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ 14% would accomplish a few things.
Sat 22:34:19 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Most people would still get credit cards.
Sat 22:34:29 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The cap would be about half the average interest rate right now.
Sat 22:34:47 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The banks would have to be happy with a tidy profit, but not bloody murder.
Sat 22:35:30 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, So I called Chase to see why it was wanting me to call them for a code, but then they were locked out and could not give me one.
Sat 22:35:55 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The woman on the phone that I reached this time said to go into the app, which was working on LTE data but not my wifi, and select enable 2FA.
Sat 22:36:06 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And then exit that screen and try to log in again on my laptop.
Sat 22:36:20 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ This time it asked if I wanted the code at my email or phone and it sent me the code.
Sat 22:36:41 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I said "You guys have a really daffy system. So it locks people at the bank out but it'll text me at whatever number I said to."
Sat 22:43:45 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irowZ7qoZt8
Sat 22:43:54 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Citibank Identity Theft Commercial
Sat 22:44:00 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It's Brandon Lobster.
Sat 22:47:03 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, Someone posted a home inspection report showing so many problems that I estimate it would cost about $80,000 or more to deal with all of them.
Sat 22:47:16 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And the realtor is telling them to relax because there's "a $5,000 closing cost credit".
Sat 22:47:30 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I started with "The roof alone is at least $15,000."
Sat 22:48:11 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Unless there's some way to get these people to just sign over the deed for free, THEN take out a HELOC to fix it, there's no value in that house.
Sat 22:56:29 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ (cat) https://desu-usergeneratedcontent.xyz/int/image/1767/97/1767971110135.jpg
Sat 23:01:27 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Credit cards do not solve any affordability crisis.
Sat 23:01:37 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They are taking a raging fire and dumping gasoline on it.
Sat 23:02:01 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Trump framing a temporary interest rate cap as an affordability issue is ridiculous.
Sat 23:02:11 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Even at 10% it's creating a bigger problem in the long run.
Sat 23:05:03 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, At the hotel this week, scammers pretending to be Medicare were calling the elevators on the emergency phone.
Sat 23:05:44 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Apparently they have a phone number and the autodialers keep calling it, and someone set it up to allow incoming calls to the emergency phone.
Sat 23:06:01 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, The elevators are Schindler elevators.
Sat 23:06:15 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Or as schestowitz[TR2] would call them. Schindler's Lifts.
Sat 23:06:21 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Sat 23:07:31 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, Then we checked out and checked in to a cheaper hotel that I don't like much but I had a free night to get rid of.
Sat 23:07:37 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Kind of wishing I hadn't.
Sat 23:07:51 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I turned the heater on and a burning smell happened and now my nose won't stop running.
Sat 23:10:08 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, "I would cancel my Amazon Prime but where else are you going to buy a gallon of sex lube and a tuba at 3 in the morning?"
Sat 23:10:41 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ lol
Sat 23:11:04 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ you could order them from separate webshops
Sat 23:11:32 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, Apparently Swiss Navy created a special "anal" lube that's $30 more per gallon.
Sat 23:11:41 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The difference is they added clove oil for some reason.
Sat 23:11:47 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ weird thing for the Swiss Navy to be involved with
Sat 23:11:49 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So you can smell like a Christmas ham when you're done.
Sat 23:11:53 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ though i think we've discussed that
Sat 23:11:59 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ <MinceR> weird thing for the Swiss Navy to be involved with
Sat 23:12:11 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Well, it's Europe so that explains everything I'm sure.
Sat 23:12:23 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ not really
Sat 23:12:31 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ When Greenland asked for resources from NATO they got a gallon of anal lube.
Sat 23:12:36 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ True story.
Sat 23:12:47 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The Netherlands sent like one guy.
Sat 23:13:42 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ NATO Article 5 never really says what kind of assistance other NATO members must provide if a member state is attacked.
Sat 23:13:50 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Or what happens if one member state attacks another one.
Sat 23:14:42 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ it wasn't officially invoked in greenland's case yet, was it?
Sat 23:15:32 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and probably can't be, unless nazi america is somehow fired from the NATO before they attack
Sat 23:22:36 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, Someone on Reddit complained about Chase Private Client.
Sat 23:23:10 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They said the advice was "absolutely horrible" and they recommended investing in in-house funds that didn't even match S&P 500 index funds, and the Chase funds came with crazy management fees.
Sat 23:23:30 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ That's why Dave Ramsey said they're called a broker because they sit there and make you broker, and broker, and broker.
Sat 23:24:03 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ lol
Sat 23:24:23 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The slang term "broke" probably means "poor" because of the word "bankruptcy" having its roots in "broken bench".
Sat 23:25:00 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, Don't ever use a Chase Debit Card to pay a bankruptcy lawyer. Even for a friend.
Sat 23:25:11 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The computer sees "bankruptcy" and they slam your accounts shut.
Sat 23:26:03 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They don't close your bank account if you file bankruptcy but they do if you pay for the bankruptcy stuff with a Chase debit card.
Sat 23:27:30 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ can you just have them not put "bankruptcy" in the message?
Sat 23:28:10 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The name of the law firm had "bankruptcy" in it according to the guy who told me this.
Sat 23:28:14 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ lol
Sat 23:28:27 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So he paid them with his debit card for his friend's bankruptcy.
Sat 23:28:37 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Then he went to Walmart and his debit card wouldn't work.
Sat 23:28:43 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ don't buy stuff at a shop called "Bankruptcy" with a chase card
Sat 23:28:53 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Then Chase closed his bank account and wouldn't say why and handed him the money out of it on a cashier's check.
Sat 23:52:40 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ <MinceR> don't buy stuff at a shop called "Bankruptcy" with a chase card
Sat 23:52:47 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Well, there goes my favorite coffee place.

Sat 23:58:49 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ cheeto hitler's approval rating is between 38% and 41%
Sat 23:58:53 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ People who lose their jobs default on credit cards.
Sat 23:59:04 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Then when they try to find a new job, they can't get it because they have bad credit.
Sat 23:59:33 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It reminds me of Judge Dredd saying that Rob Schneider should have jumped out the window to his death "because it would have been legal".
Sat 23:59:34 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ why does an employer care about your credit rating? it's not like they'd loan you money...

Sun 00:05:29 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ in bangladesh and brunei, attempting suicide can be punished by death
Sun 00:05:50 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ or not
Sun 00:22:50 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Why would they punish you by giving you what you were trying to do?
Sun 00:22:54 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sun 00:23:04 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ devil apes are often crazy and do crazy things
Sun 00:32:00 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, Speaking of devil apes.
Sun 00:32:20 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ That one that didn't hire me last week is going to have to interview me again this week.
Sun 00:32:26 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Sun 00:32:42 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I can keep scheduling interviews with the "AI" chatbot until he manages to find something for me to do.
Sun 00:38:07 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, Trump continues to show his brilliance.
Sun 00:38:19 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ He said we need Greenland so we won't have Russia for a neighbor.
Sun 00:38:26 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ lol
Sun 00:38:30 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Some parts of Alaska are less than 6 miles from Russia.
Sun 00:39:18 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Alaska is not really easy to defend.
Sun 00:39:26 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Russia could theoretically occupy it.
Sun 00:39:37 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ taking over greenland would just add more land that's close to mordor to murrikan territory...
Sun 00:39:47 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ even if it isn't as close to mordor as alaska is
Sun 00:39:52 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The Japanese managed to during WWII, even though they were only about a year from being defeated.
Sun 00:40:24 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ By occupy, I mean they occupied some uninhabited areas that the US wasn't really terribly concerned about defending.
Sun 00:40:47 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It was pointless, there was no strategic value in landing there by the time they did it.
Sun 00:41:17 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The way they conducted their war against the US was pretty incompetent.
Sun 00:41:35 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The attack on Pearl Harbor got off to a pretty strong start due to mistakes on the US side.
Sun 00:42:12 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But they called it early and left without finishing the job, and although the damage was pretty bad, they failed to totally destroy the US fleet there.
Sun 00:42:39 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The right call would have been to press the attack even if that meant accepting higher losses in the next wave.
Sun 00:42:45 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ the closest i could find is ~35km at Diomede Islands
Sun 00:43:07 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It's war, people die in a war.
Sun 00:43:20 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Being in command means recognizing when that is necessary.
Sun 00:43:55 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ war, war never changes
Sun 00:51:17 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, If they ask why I'm back at another interview I'm tempted to say "That's the thing about being unemployed. I can come here every week until I have a job."
Sun 00:51:23 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Sun 00:58:48 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ also, greenland is currently closer to mordor (~940 km) than to nazi america (~1962 km)
Sun 01:08:07 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, Then someone said they got banned from Lyft as a driver for alleged discrimination.
Sun 01:08:20 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Lyft said they would not say which ride it was and that no appeals were going to happen.
Sun 01:08:48 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I mentioned "Well if they said which ride it was, there'd be stories about enraged former drivers going to someone's house and shooting them. It's America, you know."
Sun 01:09:11 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ That's how our society has gotten.
Sun 01:09:23 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ If you make someone made, that might be the last mistake you ever make.
Sun 01:09:32 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ *mad
Sun 01:10:54 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ perhaps it's time for people to form armed defense groups
Sun 01:18:17 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, The Black Panthers are open carrying AR-15 rifles in Minneapolis.
Sun 01:18:35 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And the fucked up thing about it is I'd feel safer near them than the police.
Sun 01:18:51 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ selective fire or single only?
Sun 01:19:06 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Well, if it's legal then single only.
Sun 01:19:10 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :(
Sun 01:19:11 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But bump stocks are legal again.
Sun 01:19:25 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i just saw a video that allegedly showed 2 police officers protecting someone from a gestapo agent
Sun 01:19:30 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ You can put a bump stock on an FN-PS90.
Sun 01:19:48 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ bump stocks are an ugly hack though
Sun 01:20:04 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Yeah, but not technically a machine gun.
Sun 01:20:13 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Which is the best kind of not a machine gun I guess.
Sun 01:20:17 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Sun 01:25:32 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I'm glad that the state passed a law today that will seal the criminal records of 1.7 million non-violent offenders. That gets rid of one barrier to housing, but it doesn't do anything about the affordability crisis or the ballooning credit score requirements.
Sun 01:25:57 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Apparently, people's criminal records will be automatically sealed 6 months after the arrest now if it was not a violent crime or a sex offense.
Sun 01:26:13 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So most people in Illinois will no longer be punished forever.
Sun 01:26:26 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It's sad that the law applies to so many people, honestly.
Sun 01:26:42 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Out of 12.6 million people, over 2 million have some sort of crime record.
Sun 01:26:50 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It's another way to have a permanent underclass.
Sun 01:27:13 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Just make sure that one in six can't do anything because they committed *any* crime at *any* point in their life.
Sun 01:27:24 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Then you have the credit score follow them around like a gypsy curse.
Sun 01:27:35 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ 18 022626 < Isambard_Prince> It's sad that the law applies to so many people, honestly.
Sun 01:27:42 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ yeah, i'd prefer to have no law apply to me at all
Sun 01:28:19 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, Of course the Republicans got together and voted against it.
Sun 01:28:25 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Then there was the sound of heads exploding.
Sun 01:28:27 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ they're not republicans
Sun 01:28:41 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They prefer the system called "When you're down, that's where you'll stay."
Sun 01:29:02 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ they feel better when there are more people worse off than they
Sun 01:29:09 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and some of them are pretty damn poor...
Sun 01:29:16 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And the more the better, as long as it's not them.
Sun 01:29:18 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ devil apes are the worst
Sun 01:29:26 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And if it ever is them, the other Republicans won't care because it's not them.
Sun 01:29:32 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The wheel turns, does it not?
Sun 01:30:10 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Sun 01:31:33 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The conservatives won't care when it's you that goes to jail and gets out and can't even find a job or an apartment, even if you're one of them. They don't know you anymore as soon as you fall on hard times.
Sun 01:32:18 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ the "conservatives" who want to "conserve" a state of affairs that never was
Sun 01:34:39 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ (notably, some of them were already like that around 1950!)
Sun 01:34:57 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ (as noted in The Authoritarian Personality)
Sun 01:52:39 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Having a criminal record of any kind means brutal consequences long after the official punishment is served.
Sun 01:53:00 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ You never stop being punished. I would argue that's unconstitutional because it's so excessive.
Sun 01:53:29 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i would argue that a constitution that the state does not uphold is a joke
Sun 01:53:45 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ That's true. You know, it's nice that it has words.
Sun 01:53:59 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But those words get "interpreted" into meaning nothing, by judges with an agenda.
Sun 01:54:03 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ yeah, but it would be nicer if it wasn't used as an excuse to own me
Sun 01:54:26 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Theoretically, it says that the power flows from the people, to the state, to the federal government.
Sun 01:54:29 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Theoretically.
Sun 01:54:52 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They never ask me what my opinion is on a law.
Sun 01:54:54 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Sun 01:55:00 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Sometimes a law requires it though, but that's rare.
Sun 01:55:13 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And my idiot neighbors will make sure that the dumbest possible shit happens even then.
Sun 01:55:18 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Like more taxes or something.
Sun 01:55:26 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ they've managed to hoodwink plenty of people into supporting this wicked system though
Sun 01:55:37 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Like, "Do you want to be taxed more so we can have another nature preserve?"
Sun 01:55:41 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and of course the rest get coerced with threats of violence
Sun 01:55:55 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ "Oh sure, even though I have no time to go to one because of the jobs I have to work because of the taxes."
Sun 01:56:14 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ You know, it's only ANOTHER $140.
Sun 01:56:40 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ You know, at the minimum legal wage, you have to work more than 8 hours to pay for just the tax INCREASE on the nature preserve that year.
Sun 01:56:58 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ what costs so much about a nature preserve? can't they just stop fucking with nature there?
Sun 01:57:01 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ That could be food or part of someone's car insurance bill.
Sun 01:57:06 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ <MinceR> what costs so much about a nature preserve? can't they just stop fucking with nature there?
Sun 01:57:28 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They have a board, and conservation police officers, and staff "maintaining" them.
Sun 01:57:42 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ sounds superfluous
Sun 01:57:45 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Like, with walking trails you never see anyone using unless it's people back there to fuck or something.
Sun 01:58:15 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ we have trails marked with signs painted on tree trunks
Sun 01:58:17 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ not super expensive
Sun 01:58:27 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Mostly high school kids who can't afford a motel room.
Sun 01:59:31 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I had someone I was with briefly who asked if I wanted to fuck him in a forest preserve.
Sun 01:59:43 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I said, "No here's fine, I don't really want to explain that to a judge."
Sun 01:59:52 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ "ouch, right in the forest preserve!"
Sun 02:01:37 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, A lawyer said technically having sex in a single stall public restroom is legal if you lock the door.
Sun 02:01:45 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But it's not something he'd want to argue in court.
Sun 02:01:49 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ "Get a room."
Sun 02:06:34 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, The hotel we're using now has a nice gym in it.
Sun 02:06:47 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It has everything we have at the physical therapy office.
Sun 02:07:11 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So I've been using the equipment for about an hour each day I'm there to replicate the exercises my physical therapist has me doing.
Sun 02:07:31 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It effectively gets me some physical therapy sessions at no extra cost while I'm there anyway.
Sun 02:09:39 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Physical Therapy sessions are expensive and the longer it goes on, the harder it is to justify to the insurance company. At some point they push back and say you've improved enough that you don't need it anymore even when there is some improvement to be had.
Sun 02:10:35 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, I use the resources of the hotel to minimize costs elsewhere. The gym can be "free physical therapy". Loading up at breakfast limits my food costs for the day.
Sun 02:10:59 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ You know, I have a cousin in prison in Alabama, He said the food is so bad there they often can't even identify it, other than breakfast.
Sun 02:11:12 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Sun 02:11:15 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But you can have as much as you want, so all he eats is breakfast because at least he knows what it is.
Sun 02:12:50 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, The cheaper hotel is becoming even worse. I got so sick from the heater and the breakfast is often cold. I think they're actually putting out leftovers from the day before without bothering to warm them up. The slightly more expensive hotel has a good breakfast.
Sun 02:13:16 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I really piled it high the other morning with the bacon. They alternate between sausage patties, and bacon. I prefer bacon.
Sun 02:13:24 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And they have much better coffee.
Sun 02:14:39 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I think after I ran out of free night coupons yesterday I'm not going to go back there. I decided to use it so I could spend an additional day with my boyfriend, but now I'm so sick from that damned heater that I'm sort of wishing I hadn't.
Sun 02:14:46 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Some of the rooms are in better shape.
Sun 02:15:12 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ We go out for coffee so often when we stay at that one, that we save at least $15 a day just drinking the coffee at the better hotel.
Sun 02:15:39 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Seriously, the coffee is so good there that they had to put up a sign saying it's for guests only. They have people using it as an internet cafe that sneak in off the street.
Sun 02:15:53 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They sell that brand of coffee on Amazon.
Sun 02:16:09 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Apparently, Coca-Cola bought the coffee company in 2019.
Sun 02:16:21 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Declining soda sales, but rising coffee consumption.
Sun 02:16:58 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Well, soda sort of has a lot of problems. People widely recognize it as junk now, and Trump made aluminum so expensive that the cans alone have added $4 a pack to the price this year alone.
Sun 02:25:39 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, I managed to get rid of that rough idle and the problems with startup and the misfire code on the Buick.
Sun 02:25:43 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Carbon deposits.
Sun 02:26:19 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I ran a couple of tanks of gas with Gumout Multi System Tune Up in them and the car went from shaking at a stop light so much my phone was rattling around in the holder to smooth as silk.
Sun 02:26:30 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :)
Sun 02:26:39 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ No more start up issue (running rough for a couple blocks) or misfire code.
Sun 02:26:51 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The first bottle seemed to drastically improve that.
Sun 02:27:01 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I'm halfway into the second tank now and the problems are gone.
Sun 02:27:18 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I've had good luck with Gumout products.
Sun 02:27:24 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Not so much with Chevron Techron.
Sun 02:27:50 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Which was basically the first one using Polyetheramines, but they cut back on how much they used and now the product is basically worthless.
Sun 02:28:25 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They were like 15-20% PEA according to the safety data sheet, and now it's like 5%-7% and they ALSO reduced the bottle size so you only get 10 ounces vs. 12.
Sun 02:29:19 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ To be fair, there's other things that clean injectors and stuff, but PEA is the gold standard for in-tank detergents. Gumout Multi System is 10% PEA and you get a 16 ounce bottle of it.
Sun 02:29:30 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So there's actually enough product in there to have some cleaning action.
Sun 02:30:18 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I also picked up a bottle of Gumout Regane High Mileage, which is apparently 25% PEA, but it comes in a 8 ounce container, so I was going to mix up a third tank of gasoline and run that.
Sun 02:30:56 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Really no matter how you buy the Gumout, you seem to get about as much total PEA in the container, they vary the container size.
Sun 02:31:34 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ PEA is what Shell and the others call a "nitrogen-based" cleaner. It's what the Top Tier gasoline is using.
Sun 02:31:51 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Then they charge you like another 80-90 cents a gallon for it.
Sun 02:32:19 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They literally pour a gallon of detergent into an entire tanker truck of fuel and it bounces around in there and then goes into the gas tanks at the stations.
Sun 02:32:23 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It doesn't cost them much.
Sun 02:32:57 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They're right that if you buy a new car and then run it on that exclusively, you'll never have fuel-related problems other than maybe if they screw up and you get water in your tank or something.
Sun 02:33:19 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But you're paying so much for that PEA detergent that you might as well run cheap gas and chase it with a treated tank sometimes.

Sun 02:34:06 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, GM's statement on fuel system cleaners is don't use them.
Sun 02:34:21 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Some work, others can cause damage to the fuel pump or your engine.
Sun 02:34:33 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They've tested them. They did not say which ones cause damage.
Sun 02:34:52 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I mean, they probably didn't want to be sued by the ones that caused damage, even though they could prove it in the lab.
Sun 02:35:00 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And that's why they said some cause damage.
Sun 02:37:27 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, Someone on FICO Forums said that if you were put in a room with 100 people, some made $35,000 a year, and others made a million. The split was 1/4th in each income range. Would you randomly trade salaries with one of them.
Sun 02:38:01 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I said, "Yes, because the absolute worst thing that could happen would be that I doubled my income. It's like a lottery where even the consolation prize is better than the life I have."

Sun 02:52:11 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, Someone on Reddit asked if EndTipping meant never leaving any tip.
Sun 02:52:15 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I wrote: "
Sun 02:52:16 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ No, but I also don't let them guilt me into going over 15%. I never go over 15%.
Sun 02:52:16 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It just gets higher every damn year, like 18% went to 20% then 22% in the span of like 10 years there.
Sun 02:52:16 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They said it's because things are getting more expensive. The cost of the food they're getting tipped on has nearly doubled. So the same percentage results in a higher tip. That's how percentages work.
Sun 02:52:16 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Then a lot of them are sneaky and the tip suggestions include tips on tax, which is usually like 10% of the bill all by itself, so a 15% tip is really 16.5% if you take the 15% suggestion. Look at the subtotal. 15% of that.
Sun 02:52:18 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ "
Sun 02:53:12 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ You got all these people who are broke wondering where the money went.
Sun 02:53:27 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It's because the kiosk is telling you to tip 25% and it based that on the after-tax total.
Sun 02:53:59 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The restaurants make more money every year because they never go up by "only" inflation.
