| DaemonFC | "How can any sane person of whatever sexuality use hook up apps is really beyond me, at least because of purely medical reasons." | Jan 02 00:05 |
|---|---|---|
| DaemonFC | This. | Jan 02 00:05 |
| DaemonFC | It's a sign that the person is so far beyond saving, that they don't even care what happens to them anymore. | Jan 02 00:06 |
| DaemonFC | And is there any coming back from that? Yeah, I mean that mentality is not irrevocable. | Jan 02 00:06 |
| DaemonFC | If it was, there wouldn't be any people who jumped off a bridge and survived it and decided later that they wouldn't try something like that again. | Jan 02 00:07 |
| DaemonFC | Hook up apps are basically like, self-harm like cutting, for people that may not resort to cutting or something. | Jan 02 00:07 |
| DaemonFC | It's a way for them to hurt themselves and not have marks going all the way down their arms. | Jan 02 00:08 |
| DaemonFC | They know that sooner or later they'll get very sick. And at that point, they usually go ask a doctor to do something about it, then get back on the app. | Jan 02 00:08 |
| DaemonFC | So yes, it drains resources out of the healthcare system to deal with things that are totally preventable, and most of them will be back. | Jan 02 00:09 |
| DaemonFC | That pervert at the health department and his kind would be out of a job if people stopped denigrating themselves on Grindr. | Jan 02 00:09 |
| DaemonFC | So they have no reason to want it to stop, and so they themselves partake of the "If you see anything wrong here, you're sex negative." | Jan 02 00:10 |
| DaemonFC | It's like those PC repair people that wipe Windows when it corrupts itself or remove viruses. | Jan 02 00:10 |
| DaemonFC | Is this horrid? "Oh yes, absolutely." | Jan 02 00:10 |
| DaemonFC | Should they stop? "No! I make $200 every time one of them walks in here!" | Jan 02 00:11 |
| DaemonFC | If you do things the right way once, you'll never be their customer again, and they know it. | Jan 02 00:11 |
| DaemonFC | It's like auto mechanics that lobby against repealing the "safety inspections". | Jan 02 00:12 |
| DaemonFC | They get people in there, they find ways to fail every car over a dome light or aftermarket headlamps or something. | Jan 02 00:12 |
| DaemonFC | Why would they want it to stop? | Jan 02 00:13 |
| DaemonFC | Most of it isn't a safety issue, but it does bring in lots of money. | Jan 02 00:13 |
| DaemonFC | Safety inspections are a scam. Insurance companies don't even lobby for them in States that don't have them. | Jan 02 00:13 |
| DaemonFC | Their actuarial data shows that there are just as many car accidents in States with as without. | Jan 02 00:14 |
| DaemonFC | If you could lower the car accidents by 16% by having a safety inspection, there'd be one in every State because the insurance companies would be beating down the door at the Governor's office demanding one. | Jan 02 00:14 |
| DaemonFC | The States that have one don't do it at a State testing center (like they do with smog) where if the guy passes or fails you, he can't sell you anything. | Jan 02 00:15 |
| DaemonFC | You have to pull up at a private mechanic who gets to bill you for fixing dome lights and shit. | Jan 02 00:15 |
| DaemonFC | The smog stations can't sell you anything unless you're in the NW Indiana region that has private smog testing. | Jan 02 00:16 |
| DaemonFC | You go to a shop, they tell you your car doesn't pass, and they sell you the "repair". | Jan 02 00:16 |
| DaemonFC | Most people never get the thing checked out anywhere else. | Jan 02 00:16 |
| DaemonFC | Who even knows what's going on? | Jan 02 00:16 |
| DaemonFC | If there's dirty mechanics at Toyota dealers who say they changed your oil and don't and then your engine breaks down and Toyota accuses you of never changing the oil.... | Jan 02 00:17 |
| DaemonFC | What's some shop on the side of the road saying "Get your smog test here!" doing? | Jan 02 00:17 |
| DaemonFC | I was reading a guy that said he bought a Toyota from a Toyota dealer, he went there for all his oil changes, paid for them all, got up in Canada on vacation. The engine seizes up while he's there. | Jan 02 00:18 |
| DaemonFC | Toyota pulls it apart, it's never had an oil change, the filter has the factory markings on it, the engine's full of sludge. They go "We're not paying for this, you never changed the oil!" | Jan 02 00:19 |
| DaemonFC | He says, "Here's a stack of receipts showing I had like 10 oil changes at your dealer!" | Jan 02 00:19 |
| DaemonFC | They finally replace the engine. Never did say what they did with the dealer. | Jan 02 00:19 |

| DaemonFC | So I mean, like, the dealerships take these companies for a ride. Like the Kia dealer that billed Kia for a bunch of air conditioner work that didn't need done along the way and then finally patched the fuse wire. | Jan 02 00:20 |
| DaemonFC | When they get to a certain point, they'll fix it to make the customer leave before the OEM is aware that something's going on in there. | Jan 02 00:21 |

| DaemonFC | I just phoned up my alderman to give him a piece of my mind about those buses. | Jan 02 00:51 |
| DaemonFC | I asked if we were doing anything on an ordinance to take the bus and fine them like $20,000 or something. | Jan 02 00:51 |
| DaemonFC | He said they're in there discussing this right now. I said we need to give these bus companies a nice kick in the pants so they won't even think about trying it. | Jan 02 00:51 |
| DaemonFC | He said "I see you're a Republican on the voter list." I said, "Well, I'm not exactly a Republican. I changed my registration last election and it's because this governor is a disaster and he's inviting an invasion. He's chasing out 100,000 taxpayers a year from our State and he's bringing in at least that many so they can be put up in $400 a night hotel rooms and free meals and State-provided immigration attorneys and sending their kids to our schools | Jan 02 00:54 |
| DaemonFC | after they've never paid us a dime in taxes. And I'm married to an immigrant and I had to pay thousands of dollars to stand in line for 6 years so far at USCIS while millions of people that are here illegally just got a work permit from Biden so they can compete with him for his job. Our State is coming down around us and the politicians are aiding abetting a crime." | Jan 02 00:54 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR: I'm sure by the time I was done I sounded like the scene in Downfall. Not intentionally, you know. | Jan 02 00:55 |
| MinceR | :) | Jan 02 00:56 |
| DaemonFC | I told him "I realize you're a city alderman but can you at least try to do something so the buses will go bother someone else?" | Jan 02 00:56 |
| DaemonFC | I got to a point where I said, "This whole situation sucks and it's making me so angry I have steam coming out of my ears just to watch it on the news. And I don't think I'm alone here. And I'm sure that if you want to be our next mayor that people are watching to see what you guys are going to do with this." | Jan 02 00:57 |

| DaemonFC | I reflected on my week. | Jan 02 01:10 |
| DaemonFC | About how much I hate winter and waking up only to see the sun going down, and compensating by drinking too much coffee. | Jan 02 01:10 |
| DaemonFC | Lots of people don't like this. Only a politician could argue they're giving you an hour of daylight by taking it away from the end of the day and putting it on the beginning of the day. | Jan 02 01:11 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR: I added a foot in length to a blanket today. I cut the end off the blanket and sewed it onto the top. | Jan 02 01:12 |
| DaemonFC | Like Daylight Savings Time! | Jan 02 01:12 |
| MinceR | :> | Jan 02 01:12 |
| DaemonFC | This absolute asshattery was rooted in "Well, you know, politicians during World War I and the 70ss energy crisis figured they could legislate time and daylight to save energy, but now we're left with a law that doesn't do that but does lead to a spike in heart attack, stroke, and fatalities in car accidents twice a year." | Jan 02 01:13 |
| DaemonFC | "Then in case that wasn't enough, they moved it around again so we're only on DST for four months out of the year and it's back to Standard Time again!" | Jan 02 01:14 |
| DaemonFC | You know, it's amazing how reality doesn't bend to the will of the legislature. | Jan 02 01:14 |
| DaemonFC | But they like to pretend that it does. | Jan 02 01:14 |
| DaemonFC | They had a vote, you know, and now the Sun and the Moon and the Earth and the Solar System and THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE has changed. | Jan 02 01:15 |
| DaemonFC | We have to pretend it does. | Jan 02 01:15 |
| DaemonFC | It doesn't, but we have to pretend it does. | Jan 02 01:15 |
| DaemonFC | And this is how anything political that defies the laws of Science goes. | Jan 02 01:16 |
| DaemonFC | The Democrats have COMMANDED the Sun and the Moon and the Stars themselves! | Jan 02 01:16 |
| DaemonFC | Like Moses and the Red Sea, only....BIGGER. | Jan 02 01:16 |
| DaemonFC | Does anyone else but me even remember when part of reaching the age of maturity meant accepting that there were limits that could not be changed? | Jan 02 01:17 |
| DaemonFC | By anyone or anything. | Jan 02 01:17 |
| DaemonFC | Living in denial of that is not healthy. | Jan 02 01:18 |
| DaemonFC | Like most things the politicians do, they don't even believe in DST. | Jan 02 01:19 |
| DaemonFC | They just do these things to remind us how they can force us to behave. | Jan 02 01:19 |

| DaemonFC | I miss when the movies was something to do twice a week and even the bad ones were okay. It was $4. You picked your own seats and didn't need "apps" and "kiosks". | Jan 02 01:35 |
| DaemonFC | I miss restaurants where you just went in and told the guy what you wanted and handed him a few dollars, cash. | Jan 02 01:35 |
| DaemonFC | If you wanted to call someone, you found a pay phone and put 25 cents in it instead of being tracked everywhere and playing the "Let's all complain about the $200 Verizon bill this month." game. | Jan 02 01:36 |
| DaemonFC | I miss planning how you would get somewhere by studying a map before you left and writing down the directions yourself. | Jan 02 01:37 |
| DaemonFC | Tech I hate? Almost everything since the iPhone. | Jan 02 01:37 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz: How have we come so far and have coffee machines that fail in less than a year? | Jan 02 01:39 |
| DaemonFC | It's not that I'm some pretentious snob who is so far above having a Mr. Coffee on the counter like everyone else. It's that their quality assurance has gone so far down that I don't feel that buying another one every year or two is a good use of money. | Jan 02 01:39 |
| DaemonFC | It's funny. If you read the Nespresso patent, it's quite obvious how bad the entire setup is. | Jan 02 01:41 |
| DaemonFC | Nestle admitted in the patent that light roasts don't work out well in the machine. | Jan 02 01:41 |
| DaemonFC | So there aren't any pods doing this. | Jan 02 01:41 |
| DaemonFC | They cover up limitations in the technology by preventing you from seeing them. All espresso is "dark roast" in the Nespresso. | Jan 02 01:41 |
| DaemonFC | When you reduce the use case down to the ones that cover up how bad the machine really is... | Jan 02 01:42 |
| DaemonFC | It's just coffee, but I feel a lot of technology is going this way, or has been for a while. | Jan 02 01:42 |
| DaemonFC | Instead of solving problems, they put a little bit of thought into how they can sell crap and get it past you. | Jan 02 01:43 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz: Calling and yelling about the Venezuelan bus problem at my Alderman in the middle of a Town Council meeting was oddly satisfying. | Jan 02 01:46 |
| DaemonFC | You could tell I sort of put them on the spot, because as soon as he said "I see you're a Republican." I said, "No, your party is agitating and it's putting me into an awkward position I had hoped I would never be in." followed by "My spouse is a legal immigrant and here's what WE had to do. We follow the law. Your party is letting trash in who just says 'We're here now, give us free hotel rooms for $400 a night, free food, free immigration | Jan 02 01:48 |
| DaemonFC | representatives, everything your own people never got while you tell them that Social Security is broke.'" | Jan 02 01:48 |
| DaemonFC | I said, "I think your party should stop pushing because if you can push a gay man who is married to an immigrant out, how do you think the next election will go?" | Jan 02 01:49 |
| DaemonFC | It's horrible. It's just absolutely horrible. They can push out a guy who is gay, who is married to an immigrant, who would be called a New Deal Democrat. | Jan 02 01:51 |
| DaemonFC | And then they can say "Oh, we see you're a Republican now. How did that happen?" | Jan 02 01:51 |
| DaemonFC | I'm not. The other guy said he'd oppose the buses and the FOID Card act. | Jan 02 01:52 |
| DaemonFC | When you fuck people over on one or two lightning rod issues like this, things will not work out. | Jan 02 01:52 |
| DaemonFC | They make life incessantly shittier and harder and more depressing for the people who have always tried to do the right thing. | Jan 02 01:53 |

| DaemonFC | Absolutely nobody wants to donate to obscene executive salaries and "Mozilla AI" while Firefox is stalling out and will soon have fewer users than the US government guarantees support for. | Jan 02 01:56 |
| schestowitz | to his credit, mayet/figosdev beat us to it | Jan 02 01:57 |

| DaemonFC | Then, Xi said: “The people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are members of one and the same family. I sincerely hope that our compatriots on both sides of the Strait will work together with a unity of purpose to jointly foster lasting prosperity of the Chinese nation.” | Jan 02 02:14 |
| DaemonFC | ---- | Jan 02 02:14 |
| DaemonFC | Do you normally launch a war you don't have to have and kill millions of people "in your family" due to "unity of purpose"? | Jan 02 02:14 |
| DaemonFC | Human life gets cheaper and more disposable the more of it there is. | Jan 02 02:15 |
| DaemonFC | And if the economy there indeed has nothing to do for millions of people, then war becomes more palatable to the people running it. | Jan 02 02:15 |
| DaemonFC | The people running the US have degraded our country, our military, and our people to the point where we could not defend Taiwan even if we really really wanted to. | Jan 02 02:15 |
| DaemonFC | So we won't. | Jan 02 02:16 |
| DaemonFC | And Xi realizes this. | Jan 02 02:16 |
| DaemonFC | Would he try a war directly against us? No. But he knows we won't stick our necks out for Taiwan, not really. | Jan 02 02:16 |
| DaemonFC | So it's only a matter of time. | Jan 02 02:16 |
| MinceR | hmm | Jan 02 02:17 |
| MinceR | i wonder if xi really means that | Jan 02 02:17 |
| MinceR | because if he does, he should dismantle the CPC and let the ROC take over | Jan 02 02:17 |
| MinceR | because that's what he can actually do to "jointly foster lasting prosperity of the Chinese nation" | Jan 02 02:17 |
| DaemonFC | The only thing the US has left about defending anyone in the world is empty rhetoric. | Jan 02 02:18 |
| MinceR | looks like it | Jan 02 02:18 |
| DaemonFC | And the only reason China wouldn't try to invade US territory is that we're still armed with nuclear weapons. | Jan 02 02:18 |
| MinceR | considering that moscow remains noticeably un-nuked | Jan 02 02:18 |
| MinceR | conspicuously, even | Jan 02 02:18 |
| DaemonFC | The United States should have given Taiwan nuclear weapons a long time ago. | Jan 02 02:18 |
| DaemonFC | Only people who have them are safe from invasion. | Jan 02 02:19 |
| MinceR | indeed | Jan 02 02:19 |
| DaemonFC | They promote peace by making such a threat unsurvivable for the enemy nation. | Jan 02 02:19 |

| DaemonFC | [1/1/24 8:32 pm] <MinceR> your problem doesn't go away | Jan 02 03:00 |
| DaemonFC | That's where your reasoning falls apart. | Jan 02 03:00 |
| DaemonFC | COVID doesn't go away and the vaccines they put out now are basically like the ones that already didn't help. | Jan 02 03:00 |
| DaemonFC | It's a money-making scam for Pfizer with billions in advertising. | Jan 02 03:00 |
| DaemonFC | But COVID is still out there and the life expectancy in the US fell by over 2 years and is staying put. | Jan 02 03:01 |
| DaemonFC | So it did what it's supposed to do. Come back every winter, kill lots of old people that cost the government money to have around, repeat. | Jan 02 03:01 |
| DaemonFC | There will always be people getting older and eventually they'll be in such bad health that if COVID wasn't out there, they'd be expected to live another year or two, but they don't now. | Jan 02 03:02 |
| DaemonFC | And so it kills them, the government saves two years of Social Security benefits, and COVID kills hundreds of thousand more just like them. | Jan 02 03:03 |
| DaemonFC | Previously, the tobacco companies went to the government and said let us up from all these cigarette taxes and regulations and we'll kill all the old people off for you so you don't have to pay retirement benefits. | Jan 02 03:03 |
| DaemonFC | Now COVID does this. | Jan 02 03:03 |

| techrights-ipfs-bot | ☞ New daily bulletin is now being generated and assembled. | Jan 02 03:05 |
| DaemonFC | They tried to kill and disfigure me. But it's nothing personal. The government can't just say "release it and it won't get these people". | Jan 02 03:07 |
| DaemonFC | They just release it knowing all the statistics on their little clipbooks about who will get it worse and who will die the most. | Jan 02 03:07 |
| DaemonFC | And it satisfied them on macro, so it's out there now. | Jan 02 03:08 |
| DaemonFC | They say "We release it now, it kills 5 million Americans over the next 6 years. 90% will be over 60. 1.2% will be 40. This is fine. We're good with losing 1.2% of the 40 year olds. They'll be the sicker ones anyway." | Jan 02 03:09 |
| DaemonFC | "While it's out there, we panic everyone, grab more power like we always do and never give it back, and stage an invasion of "replacements" while they're too busy sorting out the carnage from getting sick and having the CEO come in and fire everyone on Christmas!" | Jan 02 03:10 |

| DaemonFC | He wants to be our mayor? Well, 7-8% of the registered voters (so like 3-4% of the voting-age adults) actually vote. | Jan 02 03:59 |
| DaemonFC | I'm one of them. | Jan 02 03:59 |
| DaemonFC | I refuse to vote for him if he does not introduce an ordinance that seizes the bus and hands the company a very very steep ticket. | Jan 02 04:00 |
| DaemonFC | Hardly anyone votes. | Jan 02 04:00 |
| DaemonFC | So when someone calls and says they are paying attention to this issue. | Jan 02 04:00 |
| DaemonFC | I mean, he pulled up my voting record while I was on the phone. | Jan 02 04:00 |
| DaemonFC | He was clearly scoping me out to see if I vote. I do. | Jan 02 04:00 |
| DaemonFC | My attitude was basically "I don't care where you send them, just get rid of them." | Jan 02 04:01 |
| DaemonFC | It turns out that's basically what the city's already doing even as they debate this ordinance. | Jan 02 04:01 |
| DaemonFC | I do care. I would prefer that they got them out of the country, or at the very least, dumped them in ANOTHER State. | Jan 02 04:02 |
| DaemonFC | That's what this is turning into. | Jan 02 04:02 |
| DaemonFC | Everywhere they end up puts them on another bus and finds some town or State they don't like and that's where they get off that bus at. | Jan 02 04:03 |
| DaemonFC | So it's just a lot of shuffling people around on buses because they know that people get mad at what they have to look at and if it's not in their town it's a problem for the officials in some other town. | Jan 02 04:03 |
| DaemonFC | It's easy to say you have all these "values" when you think you're 2,000 miles away from a border and very few will ever end up where you are. Isn't it? | Jan 02 04:04 |
| DaemonFC | The States near the borders have been dealing with a persistently stubborn level of illegal immigration for years and once they're over the fence, 90%+ will just stay in Texas or wherever they crossed at. | Jan 02 04:05 |
| DaemonFC | But Texas is putting them on buses and planes and sending them deeper into the country, where they can't easily leave if they do change their mind later. | Jan 02 04:06 |
| DaemonFC | I don't think Indiana has any reason to care. | Jan 02 04:06 |
| DaemonFC | Sure, some may end up there, but they'll quickly find out that they're either in NWI which nobody cares about, or if they cross the 100 miles of nothing to get somewhere someone cares about, nobody is going to put them in a hotel for free and feed them for free. | Jan 02 04:07 |
| DaemonFC | So the magnet isn't there. | Jan 02 04:07 |
| DaemonFC | And Indiana requires E-Verify at every employer. | Jan 02 04:07 |
| DaemonFC | So they | Jan 02 04:08 |
| DaemonFC | They're not going to go there and squat and poach jobs. | Jan 02 04:08 |
| DaemonFC | When they get to Indiana, whatever they think this is, they're wrong. | Jan 02 04:08 |
| DaemonFC | And that should be every State's policy. | Jan 02 04:08 |

| DaemonFC | When you pull the negative battery cable off, the computer forgets the code.

| DaemonFC | So you have to drive 50-60 miles and by then the light will probably be back. | Jan 02 04:21 |
| DaemonFC | If you do this then I'd recommend getting an OBD scanner, driving until it says READY, and if you know it'll probably be back, hurrying the hell up. | Jan 02 04:22 |

| DaemonFC | There's still a very off chance that this could work, but you'd have to time it right, and it would only work for certain malfunctions where the system would test okay some of the time. | Jan 02 04:23 |
| DaemonFC | Like if you reset everything then drive it real fast down the freeway until it says READY and it's an EGR issue, you might pass emissions in time before the light comes back because now you're plodding around in the city and the computer sees the valve isn't right again. | Jan 02 04:23 |
| DaemonFC | Or sometimes you could cheat with an EGR code and not fix it right, but make it work long enough to set READY and pass by taking the valve off, cleaning it with throttle body cleaner, drying it out, and putting it back on. | Jan 02 04:25 |
| DaemonFC | Three months from now the code will probably come back, but you should get your sticker. | Jan 02 04:25 |
| DaemonFC | The reason that doesn't tend to work forever is the longer carbon is on there, the harder it is to get off. | Jan 02 04:26 |
| DaemonFC | So you may clear out enough of the looser junk to make enough exhaust gas get through the valve for now. | Jan 02 04:26 |
| DaemonFC | But the valve might still be fairly clogged. | Jan 02 04:26 |
| DaemonFC | That's why I like to take the valve off every year or so and clean it while I'm changing the air filter out anyway. | Jan 02 04:27 |
| DaemonFC | If you just keep hitting it like that and putting a new gasket on maybe, it may just never be a problem. | Jan 02 04:28 |

| DaemonFC | So if I pass tomorrow, I have until May 2026 before I need to pass again. | Jan 02 04:33 |
| DaemonFC | Say something happens and it would be SO EXPENSIVE to fix that the car's not worth fixing. | Jan 02 04:33 |
| DaemonFC | I could go to the smog test and fail on purpose and ask for a waiver to retest extending my sticker to October 2026. | Jan 02 04:34 |
| DaemonFC | Then before October 2026, get a written estimate from a mechanic that says it would cost over $225 to fix the problem, then ask for an economic hardship waiver. | Jan 02 04:34 |
| DaemonFC | Which would extend the registration sticker through October of 2027. | Jan 02 04:35 |
| DaemonFC | Then by October 2027, you give the car to mom and they don't smog test it where she lives. | Jan 02 04:35 |
| DaemonFC | So basically, "I need more time to fix this thing and it's a hardship." then "It no longer needs tested because I don't own it." | Jan 02 04:36 |
| DaemonFC | But if you put the smog test for this year off until April and the car starts doing something before then.... You can only drag this out through October 2025. | Jan 02 04:37 |

| DaemonFC | But as the years went on, I realized that the company had to put that there because at least half the people that bought it would do that and then blame the lawnmower company. | Jan 02 06:29 |
| DaemonFC | To a person with an IQ over 100, even a child, walking in front of a running self-propelled lawnmower is obviously "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes." | Jan 02 06:30 |
| DaemonFC | But in the real world, dumb people get rewarded with money from the lawnmower company after they surgically remove half their foot with the mower walking in front of a self-propelled mower. | Jan 02 06:31 |
| DaemonFC | This all became much clearer with the hot coffee is hot thing involving McDonalds. | Jan 02 06:31 |
| DaemonFC | "I'm trying to think like 80% of you but I am finding it difficult to stick my head THAT FAR up my ass." | Jan 02 06:32 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR: ^ | Jan 02 06:32 |
| DaemonFC | Safety features are another example of everyone having to suffer because of the weak and stupid and all of the things that are done to make sure they live long enough to make a bunch more teeny weeny stupid kids of their own. | Jan 02 06:34 |
| DaemonFC | And then making sure that the kids live despite their parents being idiots. | Jan 02 06:34 |
| DaemonFC | Like those child weight sensors that disable the passenger airbag. | Jan 02 06:35 |
| DaemonFC | Then they age and malfunction and there's no passenger airbag when an adult sits there. | Jan 02 06:35 |
| DaemonFC | And it would cost $1,000 to fix, but nobody makes that part anymore. | Jan 02 06:35 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz: I gave up and added a weighted seat cover. | Jan 02 06:35 |
| DaemonFC | It seems to activate the airbag if there is a person weighing over 200 pounds on the seat. | Jan 02 06:36 |
| DaemonFC | So if you can find a cover that weighs about 20 pounds, then the airbag will turn on even if your passenger is about 180-ish. | Jan 02 06:36 |
| DaemonFC | Nobody can get the damn thing to re-zero itself right. | Jan 02 06:37 |

| DaemonFC | Yeah, it's not good to sass the cops. | Jan 02 07:05 |
| DaemonFC | Make sure your paperwork is in order, that your license is good, that all your vehicle equipment is working, and that you don't come across as threatening or rude. | Jan 02 07:06 |
| DaemonFC | Keep your hands where they can see them. And never ever drive drunk, obviously. | Jan 02 07:06 |
| DaemonFC | I don't think that stupid woman in the beginning of the video realizes how this works. | Jan 02 07:10 |
| DaemonFC | If she had just let them pull her over, and cooperated, it may have been a simple DUI. That doesn't really give the prosecutor a lot to work with. They'd probably plead it out, make her pay $1,000, suspend her license for half a year, and make her go to defensive driving or AA meetings or something. | Jan 02 07:11 |
| DaemonFC | Then she fled, then she resisted, then she struck a cop. | Jan 02 07:11 |
| DaemonFC | So, suddenly, prison time is on the table, and quite a bit of it. | Jan 02 07:12 |
| DaemonFC | This has just gone from a nuisance fine (to someone whose dad "owns an island") and you might have to take the bus for a while and say the shit at some meetings to 5-10 years. | Jan 02 07:13 |
| DaemonFC | It gets so much worse in other ways too. | Jan 02 07:13 |
| DaemonFC | Like if people call the cops on you, the cops get out there, the cops didn't see anything. You start doing things the cops see, the cops are now witnesses. | Jan 02 07:13 |
| DaemonFC | So like, when those idiots ran into my car and I had to go to court because the police lied on the ticket they gave me, and they let the guilty people leave.... | Jan 02 07:14 |
| DaemonFC | There's a lot of wrong ways someone could handle being mad about this. | Jan 02 07:14 |
| DaemonFC | They might scream at the cops, they might shove the cops, I mean there's a lot of ways to keep making something worse. | Jan 02 07:15 |
| DaemonFC | Take the ticket. | Jan 02 07:15 |

| DaemonFC | The drunk girl was the worst so far. | Jan 02 07:20 |
| DaemonFC | I would have taken my chances with the "Good Samaritans" vs. sticking around and engaging with the police more. | Jan 02 07:20 |
| DaemonFC | Like before that, the cop couldn't prove much of anything. | Jan 02 07:21 |
| DaemonFC | She had not been observed driving the car, in the driver's seat, or in possession of the keys to the car. So that's not enough for driving drunk. | Jan 02 07:21 |
| DaemonFC | He can't threaten to take away her license for refusing a breathalyzer test because he can't establish that she was likely to have been driving the car she was sleeping in. | Jan 02 07:22 |
| DaemonFC | He can say he smelled alcohol on her breath, but right now she doesn't even have an ID on her, so he can't just arrest her and say she was an intoxicated minor because he has no way of knowing that. | Jan 02 07:23 |
| DaemonFC | I would have politely excused myself to go with those people who called for the "wellness check" and let my sister find her way back to her car. | Jan 02 07:24 |
| DaemonFC | It's always better to say "I'd like to leave." somehow. | Jan 02 07:24 |
| DaemonFC | Because then it's not possible for the police to later say that you were voluntarily sticking around and chatting with them while they were investigating you. | Jan 02 07:24 |
| DaemonFC | Until you ask to leave, it's presumed to be voluntarily. | Jan 02 07:25 |
| DaemonFC | Voluntary is not smart. | Jan 02 07:25 |
| DaemonFC | They didn't really seem to "want her" that badly until she punched the cop in the balls. | Jan 02 07:27 |
| DaemonFC | Funny how that happens. | Jan 02 07:27 |
| DaemonFC | The guy at the end fessed up to smoking marijuana. | Jan 02 07:28 |
| DaemonFC | LOL | Jan 02 07:28 |
| DaemonFC | They found him asleep with the engine revving because he had his foot on the gas pedal. | Jan 02 07:29 |
| DaemonFC | He should have just let them do the breathalyzer test because he didn't have any marijuana on him, but now they know he smoked some "a few hours ago" and will draw blood and add a second DUI. | Jan 02 07:29 |
| DaemonFC | If they did the breathalyzer there would be a good chance that "Oh, this obviously messed up guy was drunk." and it wouldn't occur to them to keep going. | Jan 02 07:30 |
| DaemonFC | Then his girlfriend comes out and makes a big stink and they get her on obstructing. | Jan 02 07:33 |
| DaemonFC | She could have just taken her car and gone home. | Jan 02 07:33 |
| DaemonFC | LOL, they took notes about that guy that was speeding on a past stop. | Jan 02 07:36 |
| DaemonFC | Demeanor was "Extremely condescending, belligerent, illogical, and disrespectful." | Jan 02 07:36 |
| DaemonFC | So they put notes there when they're citing you so that the next cop pulling you over can see it. | Jan 02 07:37 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz: One thing about all these body camera videos. | Jan 02 07:38 |
| DaemonFC | If you watch them on YouTube you can make mental notes about what the police do in general to other people and how those people respond, and how that went for them. | Jan 02 07:38 |

| DaemonFC | If it gets bad enough in there the best way to get it out is take the valve covers off and manually clean what you can, take the oil pan off, do the same, then flush the pickup tube, and then reassemble it all and do the can of flush to get what you couldn't reach. | Jan 02 08:25 |

| DaemonFC | schestowitz: It's important to make it look like there's an election. | Jan 02 08:28 |
| DaemonFC | Even Hitler did it a few times. | Jan 02 08:28 |
| DaemonFC | The only thing on there would be like "Do you support our Fuhrer Adolf Hitler?" and a big circle for yes and a little one for no, and there were Nazis with guns watching you mark the ballot. | Jan 02 08:29 |
| DaemonFC | And what do you know? It's a landslide. | Jan 02 08:29 |
| DaemonFC | Then they publish the results. 100% of everyone said yes while the SS was watching them vote. | Jan 02 08:30 |
| DaemonFC | And you DID vote, because if you didn't show up to vote, you were showing insufficient enthusiasm for Hitler. | Jan 02 08:30 |
| DaemonFC | Which got some attention that you did not want. | Jan 02 08:31 |
| DaemonFC | Most Germans ended up being prisoners in their own country. | Jan 02 08:31 |
| DaemonFC | And if they didn't say the shit and wear the armband and vote yes while the people with guns and armbands watched them, there would be....trouble. | Jan 02 08:32 |
| DaemonFC | They could even end up in the concentration camps themselves. | Jan 02 08:32 |
| DaemonFC | So with the threat of death and having your family join you, you say the shit. Everyone says the shit. | Jan 02 08:32 |
| DaemonFC | The system corrupts everyone. Nobody says anything because they're scared. | Jan 02 08:33 |
| DaemonFC | They know that if they participate in the society that there is and go through the motions and do what everyone expects they will do, they'll at least live. | Jan 02 08:33 |

| techrights-news | So now Ukraine and Russia exchange fire with illegal weapons (banned for very good reasons). Happy new year, everyone! Banned weapons are used without any consequences. Paid for by US taxpayers. | Jan 02 08:40 |
| DaemonFC | They don't have to do that here. They suspect you committed a crime. They can decide to arrest or not arrest. They don't have to say why it's necessary. | Jan 02 08:40 |
| schestowitz | oh | Jan 02 08:40 |
| DaemonFC | It doesn't have to be necessary. | Jan 02 08:40 |

| DaemonFC | Then to make it even better, there was a little colored box where the expiration sticker on a real plate would have been. | Jan 02 08:46 |

| DaemonFC | schestowitz: Apparently, less than 1% of the illegal "migrants" from Venezuela in Chicago have gotten their license to poach US citizen jobs from Joe Biden so far. | Jan 02 22:04 |
| DaemonFC | The news was interviewing Illinois Senator Dick Durban. | Jan 02 22:04 |
| DaemonFC | I call him "Dick Turban" because he goes to all those Muslim centers for events. | Jan 02 22:05 |
| MinceR | :) | Jan 02 22:05 |
| DaemonFC | I got the car past emissions and got my plate sticker. | Jan 02 22:07 |
| DaemonFC | That car has been such a pain in the ass on emissions codes I was terrified it would do something else before I could get down there and pass for the next two years. | Jan 02 22:08 |
| DaemonFC | First it complained bad gas cap. Okay, I replaced the gas cap. Then a few months later, it complained "major evap leak", and that turned out to be a rotting fuel pump gasket. | Jan 02 22:08 |
| DaemonFC | So I had to have the gas tank drained and dropped and have a new gasket put in. While they were in there, the wiring to the fuel sender unit looked pretty bad and it was only a $9 part, so I had them replace that too. | Jan 02 22:09 |
| DaemonFC | Then about a year goes by and it comes back telling me the car is taking too long to reach operating temperature, and it's a coolant temperature sensor. | Jan 02 22:10 |
| DaemonFC | You burn more gas getting to the emissions station than the emissions from the fuel pump seal would have leaked in a year. | Jan 02 22:10 |
| DaemonFC | It's just another thing the Democrats are doing to make car ownership horrible. | Jan 02 22:11 |
| DaemonFC | They're causing traffic accidents too. | Jan 02 22:11 |
| DaemonFC | If millions of people have to drive just 20 miles round trip to emissions test every two years, then that's more car accidents just getting to the smog station and back, so they're killing people in traffic with unnecessary driving. | Jan 02 22:12 |
| DaemonFC | Then if your car fails emissions, you usually having to spend thousands of dollars that don't actually matter to how the car runs getting that fixed, which means when something safety-related needs fixed, you have no money because of the emissions crap. | Jan 02 22:13 |
| DaemonFC | Which could even mean driving around on bad brakes, bald tires, and broken suspension parts. | Jan 02 22:13 |
| DaemonFC | So there's more ACTUAL deaths. | Jan 02 22:13 |
| DaemonFC | Then the Employment Prevention Agency sits down and pays someone to claim, with no evidence, that smog tests reduce this many asthma attacks and heart attacks, with no evidence, thus providing "benefits". | Jan 02 22:14 |
| DaemonFC | That's how Democrats roll. | Jan 02 22:14 |
| DaemonFC | So the emissions garbage drains your bank account, so you pop a tire, your car goes out of control, and you run over some hipster on the bike that voted for Democrats and bike lanes. | Jan 02 22:15 |
| DaemonFC | The world is weird, man. | Jan 02 22:15 |
| DaemonFC | People who start talking about bike paths and bus routes and walkability scores....have nowhere to be. | Jan 02 22:16 |
| DaemonFC | They're unemployed, with three college degrees, and asking Biden to forgive their loans. | Jan 02 22:16 |
| DaemonFC | It's impossible to actually get around on the bus unless you're just some old person or a bum that doesn't have to clock in for work that day and just tentatively needs to sell some loose cigarettes and pirate DVDs and get down to the welfare office. | Jan 02 22:17 |
| DaemonFC | Mass transit is a losing issue in America because pretty much only derelicts and old people use it. | Jan 02 22:18 |

| DaemonFC | Even though nobody productive can ride the bus because it's nowhere near as fast or reliable as it needs to be, it's also a giant government jobs program that sucks in billions of tax dollars. | Jan 02 22:19 |

| DaemonFC | He sits there and gets the COVID shots and I'm singing Chris Farley's "Fat Guy in a Little Jacket" over and over. | Jan 02 22:21 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR: Watching these police encounter videos, something becomes pretty obvious. | Jan 02 22:23 |
| DaemonFC | These people do not appreciate what they're up against. | Jan 02 22:23 |
| DaemonFC | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLP87g3ZX84 | Jan 02 22:24 |

| DaemonFC | Yeah, anything you tell the cop, he's going to also ask anyone you're with to see if your stories match up. | Jan 02 22:27 |
| DaemonFC | So it's probably best to tell him as little as possible. | Jan 02 22:28 |
| DaemonFC | Instead of a specific destination, he could have said "Just up the road. My family is having a cookout." | Jan 02 22:28 |
| DaemonFC | I mean, he is a teenager. It's possible that his mom didn't specifically tell him where they were going." | Jan 02 22:29 |
| DaemonFC | Then when the cop gets up there to talk to mom and she gives him a specific destination and says "family vacation", the teenager didn't tell the cop they were going somewhere else. Also, people have cookouts on vacation. | Jan 02 22:29 |
| DaemonFC | So there's nothing suspicious. | Jan 02 22:29 |
| DaemonFC | If he pulls you over and you're alone and nobody will contradict, you can sort of "shoot the shit" a little. | Jan 02 22:30 |
| DaemonFC | "Oh yeah, I'm going over to El Paso. It's my grandmother's birthday, we're having a barbecue....yada yada." | Jan 02 22:30 |
| DaemonFC | If you're not certain the other person you're with will tell the same story, it's best to be as vague as you can while still trying not to seem evasive. | Jan 02 22:31 |
| DaemonFC | When the officer warns you to slow it down because they've been having a lot of crashes and stuff, nod and be very agreeable in like, you're taking his advice seriously and tell him to have a nice day, even if he wrote you a ticket. | Jan 02 22:32 |
| DaemonFC | You don't want him to leave and be super pissed off at you. | Jan 02 22:33 |
| DaemonFC | You don't have to acknowledge that you broke the law. | Jan 02 22:33 |
| DaemonFC | If he says "Do you know why I pulled you over?" Don't start guessing. Don't start admitting things. Say, "Why did you pull me over?" | Jan 02 22:34 |
| DaemonFC | You didn't admit anything. You answered his question with a question, and now he has to make the accusation. | Jan 02 22:34 |
| DaemonFC | If he says, "Did you know you were going 92 in a 75?" Say, "I acknowledge that this is the accusation you are making." | Jan 02 22:35 |
| DaemonFC | You didn't say you were going 92. You said you understand he's saying you did. | Jan 02 22:35 |
| DaemonFC | They have body cameras on them, they're recording this. | Jan 02 22:36 |
| DaemonFC | "Officer Ramirez notices a faint smell of marijuana, which gives him grounds to search the vehicle. | Jan 02 22:37 |
| DaemonFC | Not in my State it doesn't. | Jan 02 22:37 |
| *libredev has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | Jan 02 22:38 | |
| DaemonFC | If they say "I think I smell weed. I'm going to search your car." you can quote the law that says they can't search your car just because of the smell of weed. | Jan 02 22:38 |
| DaemonFC | In Arizona, they can. | Jan 02 22:38 |
| DaemonFC | I mean, they still might be out there in my State doing this. | Jan 02 22:39 |
| DaemonFC | Like, if I was a cop and I knew I pulled over some moron who smelled like weed and didn't know the law, here's what I would do. | Jan 02 22:39 |
| DaemonFC | "I smell weed. I'm going to go ahead and search the car, okay?" | Jan 02 22:39 |
| DaemonFC | And then if they say "Alright." then the search is consensual even though weed isn't probable cause or reasonable suspicion anymore. | Jan 02 22:40 |
| DaemonFC | A lot of people will see the uniform and not know that they don't have to consent to a search. | Jan 02 22:40 |
| DaemonFC | The weed smell is irrelevant. If they told you "No." you'd have to stop. | Jan 02 22:40 |
| DaemonFC | But they said "Alright." | Jan 02 22:40 |
| DaemonFC | So at this point nobody asked if they could leave, so the whole thing is "Voluntarily standing there talking to a police officer." no matter how long it goes on. | Jan 02 22:41 |
| DaemonFC | And also, nobody said "I don't consent to any searches." | Jan 02 22:41 |
| DaemonFC | If he's searching the vehicle and finds something, you should invoke at this point for sure and not say anything else. | Jan 02 22:42 |
| DaemonFC | "I'm with the Homeland Security Task Force". Oh boy, the cop is making this a federal thing to get around the Arizona medical marijuana card and search anyway. | Jan 02 22:44 |
| DaemonFC | LOL | Jan 02 22:44 |
| DaemonFC | "Is there any large amount of US currency, like over $10,000, in the car?" | Jan 02 22:45 |
| DaemonFC | Officer Speak for "Thanks for contributing to your local police dept and no we don't care where it came from." | Jan 02 22:45 |
| DaemonFC | (Asset Forfeiture) | Jan 02 22:45 |
| DaemonFC | Then he asks about roughly 7-8 drugs specifically, by name. | Jan 02 22:46 |
| DaemonFC | He's doing this because he can add a count of making a false statement to a federal officer each time he finds that specific item. | Jan 02 22:46 |
| DaemonFC | So even if the whole thing gets thrown out in court, they can Martha Stewart the kid and his mom. | Jan 02 22:47 |
| DaemonFC | If those things are in the car and he will search it and find them, you're better off saying that you can't continue answering his questions. | Jan 02 22:47 |
| DaemonFC | Because that's not making false statements. | Jan 02 22:47 |
| DaemonFC | It's best to keep the interior of your car clean. | Jan 02 22:48 |
| DaemonFC | If the cop shines his light in there and there's fast food bags and empty coke cans and an ashtray full of stuff.... | Jan 02 22:49 |
| DaemonFC | He's just going to be in there looking through it and angry that he has to go through all your trash and it'll mean the encounter goes on for minutes longer than it needs to. | Jan 02 22:49 |
| DaemonFC | If you're buying a car, you should go through every inch of it looking for anything illegal in there and disposing of it yourself immediately. | Jan 02 22:50 |
| DaemonFC | I've known people who didn't do that and then got caught with a gun belonging to the guy that sold it to them that he left under the seat or something. | Jan 02 22:50 |
| DaemonFC | Your car, your gun. | Jan 02 22:50 |
| DaemonFC | The guy is over there mouthing off "You need a warrant! You need a warrant!" | Jan 02 22:52 |
| DaemonFC | Ah, another Constitutional Law Professor. | Jan 02 22:52 |
| DaemonFC | It's amazing how many of those you pull over with a duffelbag of drugs going 92 miles an hour. | Jan 02 22:53 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR: ^ | Jan 02 22:53 |
| DaemonFC | If you have guns and drugs in the car, do five miles an hour under the speed limit in the right lane. | Jan 02 22:54 |
| DaemonFC | The cop repeatedly told him to go wait by the road sign or he'd be handcuffed right now. The guy continues approaching him. | Jan 02 22:56 |
| DaemonFC | Not a good idea to approach a cop, with a gun, who might get antsy. | Jan 02 22:56 |
| DaemonFC | "Look, if there's anything in the car, I can help you guys out." | Jan 02 22:56 |
| DaemonFC | LOL | Jan 02 22:56 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah, the guy that's there to arrest you if he finds anything is there to help you. | Jan 02 22:57 |
| DaemonFC | The only thing you have control over is if he beats the fuck out of you or sends you to the hospital with a bullethole, strapped to a bed. | Jan 02 22:57 |
| DaemonFC | You'll still be arrested. | Jan 02 22:57 |
| DaemonFC | I'm not sure what this guy is offering them, actually. Is he offering to let them go if they lead HSI to a "bigger fish" or is he lying> | Jan 02 22:58 |

| DaemonFC | Very underrated movie at the time. | Jan 02 23:08 |
| DaemonFC | I don't know why it's aged and gotten so much better. | Jan 02 23:08 |
| DaemonFC | 9/11 maybe | Jan 02 23:09 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR: My dad corrected them that Hiroshima was not completely destroyed. | Jan 02 23:09 |
| DaemonFC | I told him "Who said he was referring to World War II?" | Jan 02 23:10 |
| MinceR | :> | Jan 02 23:10 |
| DaemonFC | See, I was only 13 and I thought of that. | Jan 02 23:10 |
| DaemonFC | China has nuclear weapons and is threatening a major world war right now. | Jan 02 23:11 |
| DaemonFC | Russia has nuclear weapons, is aligned with China, and never signed a peace treaty with Japan and is still in possession of some of their islands. | Jan 02 23:11 |
| DaemonFC | Maybe the "mess" that the Federation had to recover from is the aftermath of World War III, which is what NATO, Russia, and China are brewing at this moment. | Jan 02 23:12 |
| DaemonFC | Maybe in that war, Japan takes the side of the Allies against Russia and China, and someone nukes Japan again? | Jan 02 23:12 |
| DaemonFC | Collective Security is the only thing that makes sense right now. If they were smart, they would have a vote on booting out Hungary and Turkey from NATO and exclude them from the vote due to undermining it. | Jan 02 23:13 |
| DaemonFC | Hungary especially. | Jan 02 23:13 |
| DaemonFC | We may actually "need" the Turks for something (because of the Black Sea thing), but Hungary? | Jan 02 23:14 |
| DaemonFC | Germany itself said "It's like having Putin right there at the negotiating table with you, in NATO." | Jan 02 23:14 |
| DaemonFC | Out of the two, Turkey seems to be the more reasonable of the two pains in the ass. | Jan 02 23:15 |
| DaemonFC | Like, they seem to want "conditions". Orban won't say what "conditions" would even satisfy him because he's a puppet and there are none. | Jan 02 23:15 |
| MinceR | not kicking orbanistan or turkey out is the same problem as not nuking moscovia | Jan 02 23:15 |

| DaemonFC | About.....something. | Jan 02 23:18 |
| DaemonFC | I'm sure that's sort of the tone I was taking with the city council about the "migrant buses". | Jan 02 23:18 |
| DaemonFC | I ripped into our governor and President Biden calling them trash and scum and a disaster. | Jan 02 23:18 |
| DaemonFC | And said that we at least needed to do something before we become another homeless encampment like Chicago. | Jan 02 23:19 |
| DaemonFC | "And that Communist mayor of theirs." | Jan 02 23:19 |

| DaemonFC | "Talking about all of the taxes he plans for them while he cuts city services to pay for people who shouldn't even be here." | Jan 02 23:20 |
| DaemonFC | "Talking about it openly, right in front of the idiots who were stupid enough to vote in a bigger moron than Lori Lightfoot!" | Jan 02 23:20 |
| DaemonFC | I could hear some of them laughing while I was saying all that. | Jan 02 23:21 |
| DaemonFC | In the last week, we've had at least 100 "migrants" dropped off here. | Jan 02 23:23 |
| DaemonFC | Our police apparently escorted one of the buses to Chicago instead. | Jan 02 23:23 |
| DaemonFC | And paid for tickets on the Metra for the other 50 to Chicago. | Jan 02 23:23 |
| DaemonFC | I suggested to the city council "Wisconsin is cheaper on the zone system. Send them up there to plague Robyn Voss and the rest of them." | Jan 02 23:24 |
| DaemonFC | Why are we sending illegals further into our own State when we can dump them out in Wisconsin easily? | Jan 02 23:24 |
| DaemonFC | Drop them off in an Iowa corn field. | Jan 02 23:25 |
| DaemonFC | "It's Chicago. Get out!" | Jan 02 23:25 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR: Watching the video again. | Jan 02 23:26 |
| DaemonFC | If I was that teenager, I'd probably start offering to help that cop. | Jan 02 23:26 |
| DaemonFC | I mean, he's obviously going to find the stuff. | Jan 02 23:26 |
| DaemonFC | Someone is going to get busted for it. | Jan 02 23:26 |
| DaemonFC | Right now, that's him. | Jan 02 23:26 |
| DaemonFC | If he helps out, they MIGHT be satisfied if he takes them to a "distributor" or something. | Jan 02 23:27 |
| DaemonFC | I'd be looking at how we could make something happen and look like I got busted too but let out because they screwed something up. | Jan 02 23:27 |
| DaemonFC | If you don't have anything for them they'll just take what they can get. | Jan 02 23:28 |
