DaemonFC[m] | I don't really see any good coming from this. My parents are apparently morally bankrupt. They see how bad things are getting and they don't care simply because it hasn't affected them much yet. | Sep 03 01:55 |
DaemonFC[m] | The reason I thought it was hilarious that her dead ex-husband's family lost the house when my mom filed bankruptcy is that none of them are any good and his grandson (who was living there when the Sheriff said get out) is a serial rapist. | Sep 03 01:57 |
DaemonFC[m] | They actually arrested him a couple years ago as an adult for rape and the jury let him go. The prosecutor couldn't mention his conviction for raping his sisters because he was a minor when he was found guilty of that. | Sep 03 01:57 |
DaemonFC[m] | I wish I could send a letter to every single one of them letting them know what a monster they set loose. | Sep 03 01:58 |

DaemonFC[m] | Oh, they were over there laughing because my mom was stuck on the mortgage from when she was married to Brian, but Brian got re-married and Indiana law apparently makes it illegal to evict a widow from her marital residence as long as the rent or mortgage are paid. | Sep 03 02:01 |
DaemonFC[m] | So mom didn't know that and said, "Oh, I'll kick them out and move back into the house. No skin off my nose.". | Sep 03 02:01 |
DaemonFC[m] | Then she found that out and talked to me. I said, "Eh, file bankruptcy and when nobody is paying the mortgage, the Sheriff will come get them. " | Sep 03 02:02 |
DaemonFC[m] | While she was in there, I told her throw in her old taxes and medical bills and anyone she owed 10 cents to. | Sep 03 02:03 |

oiaohm | DaemonFC[m]: What USA? That prior cases of same class cannot be mentioned in court? Australia if the crime is the same and the prosecutor knows about it does not matter if it no conviction recorded or done as a minor it can be mentioned. | Sep 03 02:20 |
DaemonFC[m] | It was on his juvenile record. | Sep 03 02:21 |
DaemonFC[m] | Indiana seals that when you turn 18. | Sep 03 02:21 |
DaemonFC[m] | So when he was 18, he had no priors, despite being convicted of raping his two sisters. | Sep 03 02:21 |
oiaohm | That is stupid. | Sep 03 02:21 |
oiaohm | Australia is 5 years from date of crime as a juvenile before it disappears from the easy search and 10 years as a adult. | Sep 03 02:22 |
DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, but it's the reason nobody knows about the one misdemeanor I got caught for. | Sep 03 02:22 |
DaemonFC[m] | The only one in my life where I actually did do it and if I did the same thing now in Illinois, I could wave at the cop and the cop would just wave back. | Sep 03 02:22 |
oiaohm | So Australia he would have had to done the first crime at 13-14 years old for the record to be hidden. | Sep 03 02:23 |
DaemonFC[m] | In the US there's arrests and convictions. | Sep 03 02:24 |
DaemonFC[m] | I have two arrests and no convictions. | Sep 03 02:24 |
DaemonFC[m] | The court ended up dismissing everything both times. | Sep 03 02:24 |
oiaohm | No conviction recorded is horrible in Australia. That is that local court records it but you go to the next court over in Australia and you have no record. | Sep 03 02:24 |
DaemonFC[m] | I should really expunge the other one. | Sep 03 02:24 |
DaemonFC[m] | That's pretty much how it works here too. | Sep 03 02:25 |
oiaohm | but again if the prosecutor know about your offence he is allowed to transfer record here. | Sep 03 02:25 |
DaemonFC[m] | The officers at the station knew I had one from 2008 in another state. | Sep 03 02:25 |
oiaohm | Same with judge. | Sep 03 02:25 |
DaemonFC[m] | But they couldn't use it against me in court. | Sep 03 02:25 |
DaemonFC[m] | Because it had been dismissed. | Sep 03 02:25 |
DaemonFC[m] | You can be arrested 100 times and if they all get dismissed, the rules of evidence don't allow it to be mentioned. | Sep 03 02:26 |
DaemonFC[m] | There's this one guy in Kentucky who has been arrested thousands of times. | Sep 03 02:26 |
DaemonFC[m] | He gets Disorderly Conducts and such every time they release him. | Sep 03 02:26 |
DaemonFC[m] | Goes back to jail for like 10 days. | Sep 03 02:26 |

*liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) | Sep 03 02:27 | |
DaemonFC[m] | Eventually, a judge found out he had been arrested 1,000 times that time and gave him 1,000 days in jail "for your anniversary". | Sep 03 02:27 |
DaemonFC[m] | Something like that. | Sep 03 02:27 |
DaemonFC[m] | How much money does it cost to have the cops, the judges, and the jails deal with one man like that? | Sep 03 02:28 |
DaemonFC[m] | My mom thinks that hiring social workers is ridiculous because she has no empathy. | Sep 03 02:28 |
DaemonFC[m] | There's probably something wrong with the guy that nobody is treating, or has ever tried to treat, because they just send the cops after him and he's spent most of his life since 1968 in jail for a few days at a time. | Sep 03 02:29 |

DaemonFC[m] | He's not violent, it's just they spend over $3 million in tax money over like 50 years because it's drunk and pissing in someone's rose bushes type stuff. | Sep 03 02:33 |
DaemonFC[m] | Most of the judges just give up and give him a day in jail or something. | Sep 03 02:33 |
oiaohm | Lot of the USA rules of what can be submitted in count does not make sense. Like Australia is perfectly legal to put illegally aquired but valid evdence before a court as long as the person who illegal acquires the evidence is charged and punished for it. | Sep 03 02:33 |
DaemonFC[m] | Well, what goes on in the US is barbaric. | Sep 03 02:34 |
DaemonFC[m] | There were prescription drugs, even in the 1970s, that could have possibly evened this guy out and, you know, maybe they find him and apartment and a job and, well, we got over $3 million in tax money arresting the guy and dragging him in front of a judge who can't do anything except put him in jail, and he doesn't care. | Sep 03 02:35 |
DaemonFC[m] | Most of what the cops end up dealing with are Henry Earl types, you know? | Sep 03 02:36 |
DaemonFC[m] | Even in Chicago, it's like stealing a candy bar and stuff. The Sheriff said half the inmates wouldn't be there waiting for court if they had $100. | Sep 03 02:37 |
DaemonFC[m] | Since the government defunded mental health, it's just everywhere, and the jail is the only mental health hospital most of them end up in. | Sep 03 02:37 |
DaemonFC[m] | It's horrible. Indiana's worse. | Sep 03 02:37 |

*rianne has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) | Sep 03 02:39 | |
DaemonFC[m] | The problem with running jail as mental health is, well, you're there. So your reputation has been ruined. They get you lucid long enough to go to court, and then you get kicked back out on the street with TrumpDon'tCare, and you lose your meds again. | Sep 03 02:39 |
thddx | yeah, we've been decaying for decades | Sep 03 02:41 |
DaemonFC[m] | Their only goal is that you aren't hearing voices and deemed unfit to stand trial while the judge is talking to you. | Sep 03 02:42 |
DaemonFC[m] | Then it starts all over again once they're finished. | Sep 03 02:43 |
DaemonFC[m] | We need to get rid of Trump. During a pandemic, he's trying to deport people who seek healthcare for the sickness he brought into our country while he was golfing and saying it was a hoax. | Sep 03 02:43 |
DaemonFC[m] | He flat out refused to open the ACA insurance exchanges, even as 30 million people have lost their jobs. | Sep 03 02:44 |
*kupi has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity) | Sep 03 02:44 | |

DaemonFC[m] | I got a text from USCIS. | Sep 03 02:54 |
DaemonFC[m] | They accepted the filing for Mandy's EAD renewal. | Sep 03 02:54 |
DaemonFC[m] | They'll make a decision eventually, but it is on file, which automatically renews his current EAD through September of 2021. | Sep 03 02:54 |
DaemonFC[m] | So that sets the clock back and gives them another 12 months to get us in there for an interview before he could possibly lose his job. | Sep 03 02:55 |

DaemonFC[m] | Okay, well... Let's take a look. | Sep 03 04:18 |
DaemonFC[m] | Oh, and I saw Maricel in Walmart buying Great Value bottled water. | Sep 03 04:18 |
DaemonFC[m] | How the might have fallen. | Sep 03 04:18 |
DaemonFC[m] | *mighty | Sep 03 04:18 |
DaemonFC[m] | "But a Code of Conduct is only any use if it | Sep 03 04:20 |
DaemonFC[m] | is enforced, and it is only fair if it is enforced equally on | Sep 03 04:20 |
DaemonFC[m] | everyone." | Sep 03 04:20 |
DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, it gets enforced on a lot of nasty trolls who somehow "develop" Fedora from Macs and Edge on Windows 10. | Sep 03 04:21 |
DaemonFC[m] | I wonder if the situation in Debian is getting that bad. Ubuntu and a lot of distributions are downstream from Debian, and it would be tragic if Microsoft has managed to foist a Code of Conduct on them that is being carried out in the same fashion. | Sep 03 04:22 |
DaemonFC[m] | Not many derivatives of Fedora, so its loss would not be as painful. | Sep 03 04:22 |
schestowitz | true | Sep 03 04:50 |
schestowitz | I have added this to the draft | Sep 03 04:50 |
DaemonFC[m] | I mean, the only point of those "developers" is to character assassinate valuable community members and disappear them. Then your project loses assets and gains trolls. | Sep 03 04:52 |
DaemonFC[m] | These people have alarmingly been on the rise in Fedora and it was quite a bit of the reason I said screw this, I'm out. | Sep 03 04:52 |
DaemonFC[m] | It's all people that we've never even seen before who have taken positions in the Fedora project, bowling over community members who have been active....sometimes going back to the Red Hat Linux days. | Sep 03 04:54 |
DaemonFC[m] | "Linus described the FSF as `bigots'. That is clearly beyond the pale." | Sep 03 04:55 |
DaemonFC[m] | So what? He's allowed to have an opinion, even if it's unpopular. That's an accepted norm in civilized countries. You can have an unpopular opinion and, you know what.....it doesn't matter if other people agree. The Freedom of Speech that civilized countries have is specifically to protect controversial opinions to the point where it's case law in the United States that it would be absurd to presume otherwise. Why do | Sep 03 04:57 |
DaemonFC[m] | you need an amendment to protect speech that everyone agrees with or is only in line with community norms? | Sep 03 04:57 |
DaemonFC[m] | It's not like he popped in and said something egregious here. Just disagree and walk away. | Sep 03 04:58 |
DaemonFC[m] | Unpopular opinions can carry their own punishment, obviously. But the government can't get involved, and if it does, it's unconstitutional. There's a reason why the Communist Control Act has never been enforced against an American citizen. | Sep 03 04:59 |
DaemonFC[m] | It would be struck down immediately. Even in the 50s. | Sep 03 05:00 |
DaemonFC[m] | It's ridiculous that people have had any kind of a war or an arms race over what sort of economic system to use, but that's people for you. Insane. Bringing the world to the bring of annihilation because they use one economic system and you use one that ended up with Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates owning more money than 90% of Americans while our country has been hollowed out by Trump. | Sep 03 05:02 |
DaemonFC[m] | "Debian should make a public statement that Linus will not be welcome | Sep 03 05:05 |
DaemonFC[m] | at Debian events in future." | Sep 03 05:05 |
DaemonFC[m] | "Also, Debian owes the FSF an apology. That apology should be at least | Sep 03 05:06 |
DaemonFC[m] | as public as the offence." | Sep 03 05:06 |
DaemonFC[m] | I'm unaware of any such public apology or statement. | Sep 03 05:06 |
DaemonFC[m] | "If I'm understanding this correctly, you're suggesting that Debian do | Sep 03 05:07 |
DaemonFC[m] | its best to antagonize Linus Torvalds, much as it has already succeeded | Sep 03 05:07 |
DaemonFC[m] | in seriously antagonizing Richard M. Stallman." -Barak | Sep 03 05:07 |
DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, they wanted to sideline RMS and Linus and mission accomplished. The GNU project isn't in control of GNU and Linus has no real authority over Linux anymore. | Sep 03 05:08 |
DaemonFC[m] | Open revolt against GNU was happening before RMS lefft. | Sep 03 05:08 |
DaemonFC[m] | I remember that Nano left and then came back. | Sep 03 05:08 |
DaemonFC[m] | Various projects defied the official statement that they wouldn't use Github because it didn't work without non-Free non-trivial javascript. | Sep 03 05:09 |
DaemonFC[m] | Git was designed to be decentralized. The very idea of having to run any sort of Javascript to get at a repository is offensive. | Sep 03 05:09 |
DaemonFC[m] | It's been known for many years that intelligent people can be quite insolent, honestly. | Sep 03 05:11 |
DaemonFC[m] | It's not necessarily that they don't know there are boundaries, but they're more likely to see them as stupid/trifling, and therefore an annoyance. You know, something to pick at. | Sep 03 05:12 |
DaemonFC[m] | If it seems that stupid people get ahead it's because they aren't smart enough to know they aren't smart enough, and they take more risks because they're not thinking about their own limitations and how it could blow up on them. | Sep 03 05:13 |
DaemonFC[m] | So there's a lot of incompetent people who fail upwards in this world. | Sep 03 05:13 |
DaemonFC[m] | President Trump, for example. | Sep 03 05:13 |
DaemonFC[m] | The raptors in Jurassic Park are a great example. They systematically threw themselves at an electric fence over and over. Objectively, this was quite stupid as there were no weak spots, while the electricity was turned on. Then the park loses power, one of them tests another part of the fence, and nothing happens. | Sep 03 05:15 |
DaemonFC[m] | If the dumb animal was never trying to get out of the cage, it never would have known that the power went out. The logical assumption would have been that the power was on and you were going to get fried. | Sep 03 05:16 |
DaemonFC[m] | Occasionally you do something incredibly stupid and possibly even wrong or illegal and life rewards you. With Trump, it just seems to happen each time. | Sep 03 05:19 |
DaemonFC[m] | His voters are so stupid that my dad even said he lowered prescription drug prices, which have gone up an average of 47% since January 20, 2017. You can prove that by looking at GoodRX, which tracks them. | Sep 03 05:22 |
DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Some leftist college professor, a psychologist, said that "all" white people are racist because they want things done correctly and on time. | Sep 03 05:24 |
DaemonFC[m] | I'm telling you. Where do you think they come from? College as indoctrination. | Sep 03 05:25 |
DaemonFC[m] | Apparently, observing that Mandy's coworkers are shirking their responsibilities and playing on their phone on the toilet is racist. | Sep 03 05:26 |
DaemonFC[m] | I'm also such a racist that I'm in an interracial marriage. | Sep 03 05:26 |
DaemonFC[m] | See, when you judge someone by what they're doing (or fucking up, not doing, etc.) they'll grab at anything to turn it into them as a victim. | Sep 03 05:26 |

DaemonFC[m] | The GPL 3 significantly interfered with more Microsoft-Novell style deals. | Sep 03 05:43 |
DaemonFC[m] | Ironically, it dealt with one of the issues Torvalds called bullshit on. "We own everything and there's 217 patents Linux infringes on, but we won't show them to you.". | Sep 03 05:44 |
DaemonFC[m] | Putting a big chunk of the OS that would be difficult if not impossible to replace under the GPL 3 stopped one particularly nasty way that Microsoft was going to the sleazier "Linux" companies and entering into secretive deals. | Sep 03 05:45 |
DaemonFC[m] | We don't know what the deal with "Linspire" and "Xandros" were. They might have paid THEM to make it look like companies had settled. | Sep 03 05:46 |

DaemonFC[m] | A lawyer who is found to be "lying" can be disbarred. | Sep 03 05:55 |

DaemonFC[m] | A note is bad enough. People can see that. | Sep 03 05:58 |

DaemonFC[m] | Mark Zuckerberg is trying to buy his way out of Facebook's guilt for hosting that Nazi group that spawned a murderer and terrorist (Kyle Rittenhouse). | Sep 03 06:02 |
DaemonFC[m] | So he gives $300 million to an "election integrity non-profit". | Sep 03 06:02 |
DaemonFC[m] | I don't think that the charges Kyle Rittenhouse is facing are severe enough. | Sep 03 06:02 |

kingoffrance | i mean im sure you can tweak stuff and not raise debt ceiling...but if you hit that then those things you shouldve done earlier, and may not be quick-enough turn around ...so your one option *now* is ...raise it | Sep 03 07:31 |
kingoffrance | the other things you were supposed to plan so you didnt hit that magical ceiling | Sep 03 07:32 |
kingoffrance | that is my theory anyways | Sep 03 07:32 |

schestowitz__ | they can also retroactively tax them | Sep 03 07:45 |
schestowitz__ | iirc, if you take X (200?) richest American and take back 50% of their (often) ill-gotten wealth, you already bring back national debt below the total GDP | Sep 03 07:45 |
schestowitz__ | *Americans | Sep 03 07:45 |
schestowitz__ | then you carry on taxing them going forward, pay pentagon just 50 billion bucks a year | Sep 03 07:46 |
schestowitz__ | and within a number of decades you might pay off national debt | Sep 03 07:46 |
kingoffrance | yes, the thing about trump is hes like that *all the time* it seems | Sep 03 07:47 |
schestowitz__ | (of course the oligarchs would rather fight off the "Races" against one another, causing civil war if needed, before they let that happen... they'll just keep bribing all the 'officials' to make sure none -- except maybe 'oddballs' like AOC -- can represent the public/voters) | Sep 03 07:48 |

DaemonFC[m] | The great news for the Pharma companies is that with 30 million more unemployed Americans because of Trump, they don't even have to pay sixty bucks to test subjects (you). | Sep 03 18:55 |
DaemonFC[m] | Hard pass. | Sep 03 18:58 |
DaemonFC[m] | Now, being an American means one trip to the hospital and you're in bankruptcy, and I filed bankruptcy in May, so I can't do it again for 7 years and 8 months. | Sep 03 19:00 |
DaemonFC[m] | So if I'm saying no, it means I really really think this is a terrible idea, and it would never come down from a legitimate president who was concerned that he would hurt millions of people. This is the stuff of Vladimir Putin. | Sep 03 19:00 |

DaemonFC[m] | It seems like the PDF "don't copy" bit. | Sep 03 19:16 |
XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: Yes, it's a miserable attempt at DRM, which works just as well as… well, all the Netflix features appearing in DHT within a day. | Sep 03 19:17 |
XRevan86 | If actual DRM doesn't work, how is that thing supposed to? | Sep 03 19:18 |
DaemonFC[m] | Seems like it will bait people into writing stupid things and going "But Google said it would self-destruct!". | Sep 03 19:19 |
DaemonFC[m] | Possibly even government officials. | Sep 03 19:20 |
XRevan86 | Or "okay, here's my E-mail" – "it's not Google, I'm not trusting sending an e-mail outside Google" | Sep 03 19:21 |
MinceR | lol | Sep 03 19:22 |
MinceR | well, it could be a lookout address | Sep 03 19:22 |
XRevan86 | I also wonder what's the behaviour when such an E-mail lands on an account that redirects mail to a different server. | Sep 03 19:24 |
MinceR | the self-destruct bullshit gets left behind for backward compatibility | Sep 03 19:24 |
