DaemonFC[m]I do like McDonalds occasionally. They sell hamburgers and fries, and every time they veer away from something like that, it ends badly.Sep 02 00:05
DaemonFC[m]They've tried to go upscale repeatedly over the years and it never ends well. They can't break out of what they are.Sep 02 00:06
XRevan86DaemonFC[m]: What about those shawarma-like thingies with the fillings of a hamburger?Sep 02 00:07
DaemonFC[m]Haven't seen those here.Sep 02 00:07
XRevan86* rollsSep 02 00:08
XRevan86DaemonFC[m]: And uh, chicken nuggetsSep 02 00:09
DaemonFC[m]Yeah, those are actually pretty gross when you read how they make them.Sep 02 00:10
*XRevan86 haven't tried them in eons, and when he did, he did it barely.Sep 02 00:15
XRevan86not really sure why, I kind of assumed they're pretty grossSep 02 00:15

scientesschestowitz, that is kinda what Fight Club was aboutSep 02 10:40
scientesschestowitz, but chicken bones do not contain much fat, so what you are talking about must be from the skinSep 02 10:41

sebsebsebMinceR: no they do I phoned apple in the past  the call centre, was helpfulSep 02 15:14
MinceRtelling the customer that "they're holding it wrong" and claiming that in general everything that goes wrong is the customer's fault is "good customer support"?Sep 02 15:14
MinceRnot many corporations i'm aware of have as much disdain for their own customers as crAppleSep 02 15:15
sebsebsebMinceR: well my experience of this dutch company hasn't been that good so far for cusomter uspport, let's see what hapepns when i open this email hmmSep 02 15:15
thddxto be fair, that is often trueSep 02 15:15
thddxre: customer's faultSep 02 15:16
MinceRmaybe they shouldn't be so quick to assume it is, thoughSep 02 15:17
sebsebsebnot the experien i had from appleSep 02 15:17
MinceRespecially when they do shit like put pins carring backlight power (relatively high voltage) right next to pins that go to the CPU in a relatively unshielded part of a laptopSep 02 15:17
MinceRoh, and when the cheapest shitty batteries they can find keep setting their shitty phones on fire en masse, they call them "isolated incidents"Sep 02 15:18

MinceRThinkPads aren't as good as they used to be :(Sep 02 15:24
sebsebsebthddx: I think that's android based seems to be, but more privacy respecting, but can put other things on tooSep 02 15:24
sebsebsebthddx: also hardware is meant to be more ethical which is niceSep 02 15:25
sebsebsebbut really was just yet another phone to add to my smrart phone colection !Sep 02 15:25

DaemonFC[m]What they need to do is file bankruptcy. My old landlord in Huntington, IN ran a rocket docket on the court to evict over three dozen renters of his (in a town of 14,000) between Indiana letting their eviction freeze expire and Trump actually implementing a new federal one yesterday. Assuming it's even real and not just smoke and mirrors like most of Trump's "executive actions", they could have paid $350 to fileSep 02 18:28
DaemonFC[m]bankruptcy the day before the eviction proceeding, print it out, show the state court judge (who would have to freeze the eviction), and then motion to withdraw the bankruptcy. That only gets you barred from filing again for 60 days. Then if Trump lets the freeze expire on January 1st, file bankruptcy for realsies the day before court. You could keep the landlord tied up until next May trying to get rid of you. But dSep 02 18:28
DaemonFC[m]you think any of those people are that smart? Trump slow walked this so that as many people as possible would be evicted first.Sep 02 18:28

DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: The reason the banks almost never challenge a bankruptcy is because they borrow the money from the Trump Fed at like 0.25% and then loan it out at 20-30%. It's just not worth their time because no matter what their losses are, they'll get it out of someone else, and make it the problem of society. So, there's no logical reason why a good government and a president with good intentions would ever allow orSep 02 18:51
DaemonFC[m]appoint people to do this, or why Congress wouldn't shore up eligibility requirements for loans and to deal with the housing crisis with public housing instead of dumping bank losses onto society as a whole while people go homeless by the millions.Sep 02 18:51
DaemonFC[m]Thanks to people like my parents, who will be victims of their own electoral "success" very soon and are too goddamned dumb to realize it even though they're on the edge of a cliff with a very long fall, we do just keep hitting the snooze button and what happens to real people be damned....Trump (like Bush) have banks to save.Sep 02 18:53

DaemonFC[m]My mom uses default as a negotiation tactic. Yeah, it ruins your credit, but.... She'll get medical bills and then not pay them until a collection agency threatens to sue her, and then she'll say "Oh yeah I can pay that if you knock 30% off.".Sep 02 20:32
DaemonFC[m]The way she sees it, you get a $10,000 hospital bill, let it go to collections and pay it when they agree to take $7,000.Sep 02 20:33
DaemonFC[m]It looks bad on your credit, real bad. But where she lives, if landlords didn't rent to people with bad credit, felonies, and other landlords chasing them down, there'd be nobody to rent to, so she doesn't have to worry about how things look to get an apartment there.Sep 02 20:34
DaemonFC[m]I taught her some of my tricks for walking away from small bills that end up on your credit but nobody is going to file a lawsuit (<$400 usually).Sep 02 20:35
DaemonFC[m]Like, dispute it and say you never heard of it before. 80% of the time, the collection agency doesn't respond or can't verify it and it falls off your credit report immediately. Sep 02 20:35
DaemonFC[m]I've walked away from so much debt that it's enough to rent this motel room for almost 10 years. Sep 02 20:36
DaemonFC[m]There's a lot of things you can do to discourage a lawsuit and pry things off your credit report so it'll never be fucking terrible. Sep 02 20:37
DaemonFC[m]Those credit repair companies that charge people money, all they do is dispute everything like you could do for free.Sep 02 20:38
DaemonFC[m]Then 80% of it falls right off and your credit goes up 100 points and people give them rave reviews.Sep 02 20:38
DaemonFC[m]There's nothing I can do to get this bankruptcy off my credit report though because it's a public record from a federal court. It's on there for 10 years. But it took out 18 years of debt that ran into the six figures. Sep 02 20:39
