[00:08] IsambardPrince Everything in the room but the bed is a hard surface. [00:08] IsambardPrince The maids can just come in, toss the trash, sweep, mop, wipe down, make the beds, change the towels out, and they're done. [00:08] IsambardPrince Very efficient. [00:09] IsambardPrince No nasty carpet that hides bugs and attracts filth. [00:09] IsambardPrince They also have a good breakfast and Costa coffee machines. [00:09] IsambardPrince The cheaper ones usually have a cheap basic breakfast and a coffee urn that's been sitting there god knows how long. [00:10] IsambardPrince They also have a full gym on site with all the stuff I need to do my physical therapy, the stuff I'm usually doing at the physical therapy center.

[01:10] IsambardPrince The "I'm offended for them." attitude. [01:10] IsambardPrince Like, I said I'd be happy to drop him off in the bad part of town in the middle of the night. [01:10] IsambardPrince He never took me up on that offer. [01:11] IsambardPrince MinceR, "Why? Who did you say you were?" [01:11] IsambardPrince The great and powerful Oz. [01:11] IsambardPrince *Jacob and Selmak both facepalm in one body* [01:11] IsambardPrince "Sam, we gotta get out of here fast!" [01:11] MinceR :> [01:12] MinceR i don't know what their problem was [01:12] MinceR it's highly unlikely that the Wizard of Oz exists in any goa'uld queen's genetic memory [01:13] IsambardPrince MinceR, They would recognize that it was not any System Lord or probably also not even any minor Goa'uld. [01:13] IsambardPrince And so they would immediately attack. [01:14] IsambardPrince They're extremely territorial. They'll even attack each other if one of them shows weakness. [01:15] IsambardPrince That makes them dangerous. They'll certainly attack someone who appears to have simply stolen a cargo ship. [01:15] MinceR :> [01:18] IsambardPrince MinceR, The correct response would be to say you're on a mission from one of the real badass ones. [01:18] IsambardPrince One of the ones that will get pissed and crush that one like a bug if they interfere with you. [01:19] IsambardPrince MinceR, John McCain would have been so proud. [01:19] IsambardPrince We're finally doing the Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb, Iran thing. [01:19] MinceR indeed [01:20] IsambardPrince Apparently most of their leadership is dead. [01:20] IsambardPrince They've formed some sort of a three person transitional council, but their senior military leaders are all dead. [01:22] IsambardPrince MinceR, The Iranian crown prince in exile said he would like to lead a "transition to democracy". [01:22] MinceR :> [01:22] IsambardPrince You know like, "Install me and I'll make sure there's always martial law and I'll do whatever you say." [01:22] IsambardPrince He was on Fox News so it's clear who he was trying to appeal to. [01:23] MinceR they don't really need to worry in any case [01:23] MinceR he could transition to democracy, and maybe there would be democracy for 1 cycle [01:23] MinceR and then the people would elect some pedonazis aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it's gone. [01:23] MinceR like civilization, democracy is just another thing devil apes are incapable of [01:23] IsambardPrince MinceR, Trump figures it'll take "four weeks or so". [01:24] IsambardPrince To do whatever it is he's doing. [01:24] IsambardPrince Not sure how it would take the US military and the IDF four weeks to take out all the high value targets in Iran. [01:24] IsambardPrince Seems like that would be maybe a week. [01:24] MinceR rule of law and free market economy are 2 more things devil apes are incapable of [01:24] MinceR long term survival yet another [01:25] MinceR i'm guessing the process would slow down near its end [01:25] MinceR some of the targets might even flee the country and try to go undercover [01:25] IsambardPrince "Tehran had targeted travel hubs in US-friendly Gulf states typically regarded as safe, luxury destinations. Footage showed people fleeing a smoke-filled passageway at Dubai International Airport. Blasts were also reported in UAE capital Abu Dhabi and in Jordan, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia." [01:25] IsambardPrince LOL [01:25] IsambardPrince <@MinceR> rule of law and free market economy are 2 more things devil apes are incapable of [01:26] IsambardPrince The rule of law should be as simple as the free market economy. [01:26] MinceR they're simple [01:26] MinceR so's civilization [01:26] IsambardPrince There should be maybe a few hundred things that are crimes. [01:26] IsambardPrince Everything else should be legal. [01:26] MinceR doesn't mean humans can do any of these [01:26] IsambardPrince MinceR, There's like 60,000 federal crimes. [01:26] MinceR as far as the vast majority of humans go, their base impulses will always get the better of them [01:26] IsambardPrince Not counting state crimes and local ordinance violations. [01:27] MinceR they're easy to manipulate by the ASPD enjoyers [01:27] IsambardPrince I could probably get that down to no more than 1,000 and nobody would be worse off. [01:27] *x-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!) [01:27] IsambardPrince The state seems to prefer that nobody knows if what they're doing is legal or not. [01:27] MinceR yeah, the state doesn't care about obeying its own rules [01:27] MinceR hence, no rule of law [01:30] MinceR https://mastodon.social/@fesshole/116153883462428890 [01:30] TR Bot Fesshole : "Forced to use AI at work, hate it.
