[00:02] DaemonFC They got a shelf of Rotella T Gas Truck synthetic motor oil and marked it to $1.75 a quart. [00:02] DaemonFC I bought 9 quarts. Unfortunately they didn't have more in the back. I asked though. [00:03] DaemonFC Shell briefly had a "Rotella" motor oil for gasoline pickup trucks. [00:03] DaemonFC It didn't stay on the market long. You could use this in any gasoline engine that takes that viscosity of motor oil though. [00:03] DaemonFC Probably someone in the marketing dept thought that a lot of diesel truck owners liked "Rotella" so make one for gas engines. [00:04] DaemonFC It's pretty similar in composition and additives to Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. [00:04] DaemonFC Which is incredibly expensive. [00:05] DaemonFC MinceR, I'm trying to move to annual oil changes by just using better stuff. [00:05] DaemonFC The cost of synthetic blend oils has gotten pretty close to the synthetics and you have to change it out 2-3 times a year. [00:05] DaemonFC I don't even know why they still market this stuff. [00:06] DaemonFC Maybe the margins are better or something. [00:06] DaemonFC Getting to be less competition in the space. [00:07] *jacobk has quit (Quit: http://quassel-irc.org - Chat comfortably. Anywhere.) [00:07] DaemonFC I've noticed there's a group for people in Illinois who have Ford Model A and T cars. [00:07] DaemonFC You can take them on the highway, but it's not safe at all. [00:08] DaemonFC 60 miles an hour is really all the faster they can go and of course there's no safety features, including seat belts. [00:20] IPFS () Planet Gemini updated.

[01:11] DaemonFC MinceR, Not much different here.

[01:12] schestowitz and this same party proposed gender quotas in the parliament [01:12] DaemonFC What I proposed about dealing with Iran wasn't much different than the Clinton Administration's approach to dealing with Saddam Hussein. [01:12] schestowitz wait till they learn 38 genders exist [01:12] MinceR lol [01:13] schestowitz or that people cannot be defiend by one parameters [01:13] MinceR they might not necessary support that yet [01:13] DaemonFC The 90s (under Clinton anyway) was about degrading Iraq's military and keeping their Air Force on the ground.

[01:15] DaemonFC The insanity of the US military posture of the last 30 years, to me, is that we have no tactical nukes to speak of (just dial a yield which would panic the Russians and Chinese no matter how well informed we kept them). [01:16] DaemonFC And also the fact that hypersonic missiles weren't a priority. [01:16] *mib_dtsia8 has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client) [01:17] DaemonFC We could set the yield of the blast very low, but we'd still need to launch it on an SLBM or ICBM platform that would be impossible to differentiate by Russian or Chinese systems until it was in orbit and ready to come down "somewhere" which would force them onto high alert. [01:17] DaemonFC Making a retaliation (by error) more probable. [01:17] MinceR so what? just nuke red china and moscovia [01:17] MinceR already. [01:17] MinceR they had it coming. [01:17] MinceR also hit north korea while you're at it [01:17] DaemonFC I think low yield nuclear weapons would make sense against Iran, if we had a way to deliver them that wouldn't panic Russia and China. [01:17] MinceR and then ask iran, india, south africa, brazil and venezuela if they have any problems. [01:18] DaemonFC Just a few could destroy major assets that would otherwise take many dozens of cruise missiles. [01:18] DaemonFC DaemonFC: are you winnign the bid? [01:18] DaemonFC Yeah, not much demand for 70s coffee makers I guess. [01:18] MinceR what sort of coffee maker is that? [01:19] DaemonFC A Mr. Coffee. The first auto-drip one they made.

She said she felt it laid bare profound political and ideological divisions within the nation, which resulted in a growing intolerance toward non-cisgendered Americans." [03:15] DaemonFC So he's not a woman? [03:16] DaemonFC Wanted to move somewhere where they criminalize speech. [03:16] DaemonFC That's funny. Canada is a troon hive. Mastodon the country. [03:16] DaemonFC The only place they exist is places full of other nuts. Typical. [03:17] DaemonFC In LA, she said, "many of the schools are in trailers instead of actual buildings," but in Canada, "children can go to school and not worry about having a place that is safe or not being in an actual building." [03:17] DaemonFC LOL [03:17] DaemonFC --- [03:17] DaemonFC You don't need to go to Canada to get safe schools that aren't in a trailer. [03:18] DaemonFC You just have to move out of failed Democrat cities that are collapsing due to rampant crime and illegal immigrants demanding public schools. [03:19] DaemonFC "Johnson said she and her family had also enjoyed Canada's universal, publicly funded healthcare system, under which citizens and permanent residents get most medically necessary care and medications for free or at a very low cost. [03:19] DaemonFC She added that there were some frustrations, including that lengthy waiting periods for medical care had gotten longer. "During the pandemic, doctors couldn't see patients as regularly and non-emergency procedures were postponed, so there's a backlog," she said. [03:19] DaemonFC Niren, who has lived in both the US and Canada, voiced similar concerns. He said his own mother, who needs a hip replacement, had been on a waitlist for 18 months." [03:19] DaemonFC --- [03:19] DaemonFC That's not an 18 month waitlist. She's still waiting. It would be better to say Canada makes you wait so long you might be dead or too old to get a hip replacement surgery before they call your number. [03:19] DaemonFC Because you have to wait behind the troons getting their dick and balls cut out. [03:19] DaemonFC Split open. Jammed in backwards. Because "healthcare".

"In the US, you can get a specialist appointment in two days." [03:20] DaemonFC --- [03:20] DaemonFC Yes, We went from the hearing test to Mandy's surgery in about 2 months. [03:21] DaemonFC It's not a long wait. In Canada he'd just go deaf and maybe they'd call and ask us if he still needed surgery 14 years from now while we wait behind all the Lobstas needing Eunuch surgery. [03:21] DaemonFC MinceR, ^ [03:21] DaemonFC "Eunuchy snip snip!" -Captain Jack Sparrow [03:22] DaemonFC Niren also said Canadians paid elevated taxes to support such a comprehensive healthcare system. [03:22] DaemonFC "People call it free healthcare it's not free," he said. "It's very expensive because you're paying through the taxes." [03:22] DaemonFC --- [03:22] DaemonFC Yeah, then you have to pay for Lobstacare instead of healthcare. [03:22] DaemonFC Then you have to go to America and pay a second time because nobody will see you in Canada, under the system they make you pay for even though you can't use it. [03:23] DaemonFC The end result is any Canadian that can afford it just comes down here because they can't wait 6 years to get oncology or something. [03:23] DaemonFC So of course Canada passed the criminal pronouns law because it will silence people who are angry about this with the threat of prison time from Troon Court. [03:24] DaemonFC So they not only have no healthcare, but they're being arrested for crimethink too. [03:26] DaemonFC --- [03:26] DaemonFC Ouellet said he had no regrets about moving to British Columbia, but Canada's housing crisis sidelined his dreams of homeownership. [03:26] DaemonFC "The house that we had in Portland was three bedrooms, 2 baths. It was about 1,800 square feet, and we bought it for $265,000. You can't find a place for that price here," he said. "Most condos are around $500,000 to $900,000. Single-family homes are almost a million." [03:26] DaemonFC As Niren said, "Canada is one of the greatest countries in the world, but it's no utopia." [03:26] DaemonFC --- [03:26] DaemonFC Yeah, so you pay for ten houses and get one. [03:26] DaemonFC You pay for healthcare and can't get healthcare. [03:26] DaemonFC Sounds fantastic. [03:27] DaemonFC The only people who benefit in Canada's system are criminals who are unemployable and don't pull their weight. [03:27] DaemonFC They get "benefits" without paying anything in after they abandon their kids and hide money from the divorce judge. [03:28] DaemonFC https://www.businessinsider.com/credit-score-around-the-world-2018-8 [03:28] TR Bot Credit Score Systems Are Different Around the World [03:28] DaemonFC "Many countries don't use credit scores like the US here's how they determine your worth" [03:28] DaemonFC Determine your worth. [03:29] DaemonFC Nice that they admit that's what this is. [03:29] DaemonFC schestowitz, ^ [03:29] MinceR :> [03:29] DaemonFC "A credit score is a number, used in countries like the US and Canada, which aims to predict your likelihood to meeting financial obligations like paying back a loan." [03:30] DaemonFC Yeah, but credit scores are not predictive of risk and are getting worse all the time. [03:30] DaemonFC Biden pressured them to make changes that predominantly benefit Black deadbeats. [03:30] DaemonFC By making them delist court fines and civil judgments from the government. [03:30] DaemonFC And a lot of unpaid medical debt. [03:31] DaemonFC So like, you can be a criminal with unpaid taxes, unpaid fines from doing all kinds of criminal shit, and walk away from a bunch of medical bills. At least most of it won't be on your credit report even though you do owe it and it will affect your ability to repay credit cards or lease agreements or car payments. [03:32] DaemonFC So the system has devolved into this politically correct joke that doesn't account for about half of consumer risk. [03:32] DaemonFC So you can have someone, theoretically, who is hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt to the court system and doctors and stuff, and walks into a car dealer and has a 800 FICO. [03:33] DaemonFC So this encourages more discrimination, not less, on the part of lenders. [03:33] *shOkEy has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds) [03:33] DaemonFC Since you're not allowed to read how they've fucked the system and played the game, you start assuming that Black people who really do deserve the loan are criminals on the run from the courts or something, not paying criminal fines. [03:33] DaemonFC Because some are, and it's heavily weighted by race. [03:34] DaemonFC So you deny the loan and say it's for something else. [03:34] DaemonFC They can complain all they want. All you have to say is "We use a proprietary risk system and we don't have to tell anyone what it is!"

[03:35] DaemonFC "Some banks are OK lending to foreigners; some are not," Hague explains. "More traditional banks wouldn't even bother delocalizing their websites. If you can't read Japanese or fill out the forms in Japanese, you can't get credit." [03:35] DaemonFC --- [03:36] DaemonFC Yeah, but only Americans are evil racists even though loans and government forms are in 27 languages now. [03:36] DaemonFC Meanwhile in Japan, if you can't read the form in Japanese don't even apply. [03:36] DaemonFC Oh my God let me count the way this bank would be up shit creek here. [03:37] DaemonFC "Don't speak English? No loan for you. Get out!" [03:37] DaemonFC Yeah, there's only about a dozen regulators to complain to, forgetting all the civil rights laws with a private right of action. [03:37] DaemonFC They'll end up GIVING you 100x what they could have loaned you by the time they're out of court.

[03:50] DaemonFC The huge gaps in the plastic let weak points in the paper filter media blow out. [03:51] DaemonFC Then you have unfiltered oil and bits of paper circulating through the engine. [03:51] DaemonFC The metal cores with dozens of tiny slits in the metal let plenty of oil through without risking a blowout in the filter media. [03:51] DaemonFC But they cost $1-2 more per filter so a lot of people will just use the plastic ones.

[05:21] DaemonFC She got my grandfather to take $10,000 (in the late 1980s when that was a considerable amount) and put it in "King's Vitamins". They got nothing. [05:22] DaemonFC Five years later, "Destiny Telecommunications" came through the church convincing people to "invest" in their "reasonably priced" phone cards that they were supposed to sell to their friends at a profit. [05:22] DaemonFC The problem was that they claimed they had a bunch of hours of prepaid long distance on them. Like 50 or 100 or 200 hours, right? [05:22] DaemonFC For just this insane amount of money, and you could turn around and sell them. [05:23] DaemonFC Then what do you think happened? [05:23] DaemonFC Most of the cards only had about an hour on them, if that. [05:23] DaemonFC They set up shop in someone's garage to answer the phone and pretended to be a big company. [05:24] DaemonFC Then they fled town with a bunch of money, and left all the "investors" (my grandparents) to explain why they sold 200 hour phone cards to a friend that only had an hour. [05:24] DaemonFC The whole point of the calling card having anything on it was so that many people wouldn't realize what happened right away, to give the scammers more time to get out of town.

Weeks III [05:25] DaemonFC unread, [05:25] DaemonFC Mar 1, 1997, 2:00:00AM [05:25] DaemonFC to [05:25] DaemonFC Based on stories that I have heard coming out of the San Francisco [05:25] DaemonFC bay area, it appears that Destiny Telecom, the phone card company, [05:26] schestowitz Ah, Goolag Groups [05:26] DaemonFC has been raided and shut down by California authorities. Many of [05:26] DaemonFC their records were also seized as evidence, which would hinder any [05:26] DaemonFC restart of the Destiny program until the current action is settled. [05:26] DaemonFC Here is a web link to a story from Van's excellent Discount LD Digest: [05:26] DaemonFC http://www.thedigest.com/current/77-49.html [05:26] TR Bot not resolve host: www.thedigest.com ( status 0 @ http://www.thedigest.com/current/77-49.html ) [05:26] DaemonFC -john- [05:26] schestowitz salinas?

[05:26] TR Bot NO TITLE [05:27] DaemonFC "Hi John and John, [05:27] DaemonFC The Destiny web site does not say that the California investigation has been resolved. It says that the investigation is similar to those conducted and resolved in other states. It is expected that resolution will follow in California just as it has in North Carolina, Michigan, Kansas, Florida, Alabama, and elsewhere. [05:27] DaemonFC These investigations have become so routine, not only with Destiny, but with all network marketers, including such as TSI and TCN, that I'm surprised anyone would react with more than a Ho Hum when the company is well established and well known. The only difference between this investigation and the others is that it involves agencies having direct home jurisdiction over the corporate entity, since Destiny is a California corporation. Therefore, they [05:27] DaemonFC were able to exercise search warrants, which caused some inconvenience to Randy Jeffers and the home office staff, but was otherwise only a temporary interruption of routine affairs. Assets frozen during the search were subsequently released and business has continued as usual. [05:27] DaemonFC Probably the most important impact was felt in cleaning up the mess and unnecessary damage caused by irresponsible investigators, who did such things as insist on drilling open and dissasembling safes and cabinets even after they were freely offered keys to open them with. Jeffers reports that one such official has looked him in the eye and said, "No one has the right to make that much money." [05:27] DaemonFC Comical, no? Certainly makes one puzzle over the motivation for some behaviors. [05:27] DaemonFC Martin Clemons [05:27] DaemonFC " [05:27] DaemonFC :) [05:27] DaemonFC schestowitz, INVEST!

[20:31] DaemonFC Where do the majority of people think the coffee is overextracted or underextracted. [20:31] DaemonFC Both lead to undesirable flavor outcomes and the difference is generally only a margin of 11 degrees Fahrenheit. [20:32] DaemonFC Many cheap coffee makers these days are all over the place, and that gets even worse with age. Some start out too low and then the heating element keeps getting worse. [20:32] DaemonFC That's what happened with the coffee maker I bought at Walmart when we moved in here. [20:33] DaemonFC When it started out it was making perfect coffee and by the time I got rid of it, it was down to 179 degrees F coming out of the brew basket. [20:33] DaemonFC I noticed, gradually, that the final product was becoming more bitter over time. [20:34] DaemonFC The Moccamaster has held up well. It's still at the temperature it was brewing at when I bought it. [20:35] DaemonFC Typically 201.7 F (peak) at the basket assuming that you make the minimum recommended amount of 4 cups. A little over 202 if you continue. [20:36] DaemonFC Measuring temperature accurately is way more important than the scale used. [20:36] DaemonFC I'm not sure what real purpose getting rid of the Fahrenheit scale in the rest of the world served other than "standardizing" on something. [20:37] DaemonFC Standardizing on the Fahrenheit scale would have worked out just as well, honestly. [20:37] DaemonFC As long as you're all using the same scale and measuring it accurately, it doesn't really matter. [20:38] DaemonFC I'm quite certain that not doing the metric system is just to make a case for sovereignty. [20:38] DaemonFC Nobody in the United States (except for Euro trash that bought its way over here) and some nutcases on the left consider themselves a "world citizen". [20:39] DaemonFC The idea of "world citizenship" and "world government" are terrifying, and not simply in a religious context. [20:39] DaemonFC Although that is where some people are skeptical of the concept. [20:40] DaemonFC Creating a "framework" of international agreements is a de facto "world government" if you're all agreeing to the same things, with an enforcement mechanism. [20:40] DaemonFC But these "treaties" that the United States hasn't ratified, consider who HAS ratified those treaties. [20:40] DaemonFC Countries that rape little girls and sell them for cows have ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child. [20:41] DaemonFC This is NOT legal or a widespread problem in the United States, but we have not ratified that treaty. [20:41] DaemonFC So if there's a treaty on child rights, isn't that a good thing? Well, if countries where women and children have no rights and are simply chattel ratified these treaties and nothing changed, what good is the treaty? [20:41] DaemonFC Moreover, what will get better if the United States ratifies the treaty? [20:42] DaemonFC In practice, every State in the US and the feds have lots of laws that mean bad things happen to people who traffic little girls. [20:43] DaemonFC Does it happen? Oh yes, it does, and that's part of these "migrant caravans". It's human trafficking, it's fentanyl, and the Democrats are letting them in and calling them "asylum seekers" and "migrants". [20:43] DaemonFC Then you find out what they really are when you let them in. [20:43] DaemonFC The world is nowhere near "ready" or "mature" enough for a world government even if we could hash one out. [20:44] DaemonFC Obviously the world average is dragging the United States down, not lifting them up to what we once were. [20:44] DaemonFC The more "caravans" we let into America, the worse the country gets. [20:45] DaemonFC More disease, more poverty, more people who ruined their own country by voting in selfish and inept people. [20:45] DaemonFC More people flooding the public schools with twice as many children as they can properly educate, and with no tax base to pay for it. [20:45] DaemonFC The next generation comes out worse. [20:46] DaemonFC When they start voting here, how do they vote? They ruined their own country by voting and they came here and now they vote here. [20:46] DaemonFC I'm sure they learned pure unselfish unalloyed altruism by dealing with the reign of terror of Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro. [20:46] DaemonFC No? [20:46] DaemonFC It'll never ever happen again. [20:47] DaemonFC The United States absolutely could shoot Maduro, purge the Venezuelan government, and declare an election that was free and fair. [20:47] DaemonFC The problem is that you can't give democracy to people who aren't smart enough for it. [20:47] DaemonFC And if they come here, we won't have it. [20:48] DaemonFC The results of a free and fair election can be a disaster. And often are. [20:49] DaemonFC After the disaster, the guy who gets in makes sure there either are no more elections or that they are unfree and unfair. [20:49] DaemonFC Like Adolf Hitler or Vladimir Putin. [20:49] DaemonFC There will never be a free election while Maduro is alive and the laws of the current Venezuelan government are in effect. [20:50] DaemonFC Like most South American dictators, his Army is not strong enough to last five minutes toe-to-toe with ours, but it is strong enough to subjugate and enslave his own people. [20:50] DaemonFC So the "rules-based" international order says we can't go down there and help them even though we're perfectly capable of defeating his military in about five minutes. [20:50] DaemonFC :) [20:52] DaemonFC George H.W. Bush proved that we could go down there and dig out people like Manuel Noriega. [20:53] DaemonFC schestowitz, It looks like someone vandalized the Wikipedia article about that. [20:53] DaemonFC They claimed that the air force of Nazi Germany helped the US in the invasion of Panama? [20:55] DaemonFC schestowitz, Fixed it.

They probably just have a lot of old dumb bombs laying around that they may as well get rid of. [21:27] DaemonFC It's like having milk that's close to its expiration that you want to use. [21:27] DaemonFC You can't use up the old bombs unless there's a war. [21:28] DaemonFC The Palestinians shouldn't have started the war if they didn't like what was going to happen next. [21:28] DaemonFC They get what they get at this point. [21:28] DaemonFC You don't get to murder thousands of people in an unprovoked and unannounced attack and then play the victim. [21:28] DaemonFC The only people falling for this are a bunch of stupid mental defective leftist trannies. [21:29] DaemonFC We should have Brandon Lobsta as our delegate for peace, I think. [21:29] DaemonFC In the Middle East. [21:30] DaemonFC We can send "her" in and "she" can tell them that they should be emasculated and forced to take estrogen so that things "calm down". [21:30] DaemonFC And then the "religion of peace" can be "very peaceful" to "her". [21:31] DaemonFC It's not just rianne_ and women in general who are repulsed by the Lobstas. [21:31] DaemonFC It's very much an attack on real men too. [21:31] DaemonFC Instead of TERF, what we need is a word for mental defective Buffalo Bill motherfuckers like da Lobsta.

[21:34] DaemonFC The Republicans want to cut everything that's not the military and then spend us into oblivion on the military, causing hyperstagflation. [21:35] DaemonFC You can see the dilemma. [21:35] DaemonFC Spending $2 million shooting down $40,000 Chinese balloons. [21:35] DaemonFC This was a test and we failed. [21:36] DaemonFC Biden let it gather all the data it was designed to send and then shoot it down when it meant very little to the Chinese at that point. [21:36] DaemonFC We should have some "errant weather balloons" accidentally "drift" over China. [21:36] DaemonFC It's amazing how often they can do this. [21:36] DaemonFC What do you do? [21:38] DaemonFC The Silence of the Lambs was definitely one of the best movies of the 20th century, of the 90s. Top 100 of the century. Top 10 of the 90s, for sure. [21:38] DaemonFC Couldn't make it today. [21:38] DaemonFC South Park had to hurry up and get the Garrison arc in for "everything wrong with letting the troons have everything they want" before that became impossible. [21:39] DaemonFC Garrison becomes a hyperaggressive man without a penis who tries too hard to be a woman, overcompensating and grossing them all out. [21:39] DaemonFC Invading their bathroom and taking a nasty, loud, smelly man shit in the stall and running them out of there too. [21:40] DaemonFC Then comes to the realization when he tries to have an abortion, and the doctor says he doesn't even have the parts to get pregnant to begin with. [21:40] DaemonFC So radical that even an abortion doctor goes "What the fuck is even happening in here?" [21:40] DaemonFC The whole thing skewers the issue brilliantly. [21:41] DaemonFC Showing how NOBODY can honestly stomach them, not even abortion doctors that are used to being shot at and having their clinic set on fire in the middle of the night by the far-right, can stand a tranny, to be honest. [21:41] DaemonFC schestowitz, We have another issue now in the US. [21:42] DaemonFC There's these little plastic clips you can make or buy for about a dollar that convert any semi-automatic into a machine gun. [21:42] DaemonFC And the government is yammering on with the usual "harsher laws" that they don't even actually enforce nonsense. [21:43] DaemonFC They're finding thousands of these things showing up at crime scenes where, largely, gangs at war are spraying each other with bullets. [21:43] DaemonFC And of course these people who care so much about the law while they're having a drive by shooting will care if the plastic thingy is illegal too./ [21:44] DaemonFC They say insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. [21:44] DaemonFC How many "more laws" do we need when the other ones already didn't work? [21:44] DaemonFC The dozens of laws that were supposed to solve it forever didn't work.

The dealer called the cops and said she was trying to pass a bad check and got her in the news for it, and then it turned out to be a real check, after they caused her to lose her job and home.

[21:55] DaemonFC "Fifth Third Bank, which says they make banking "a Fifth Third Better" in their advertisements, informed McGrath over the phone that the check was bogus, and then later admitted that their computer system had crashed and there was no way to tell if the check was good or bad at the time the dealership called." [21:56] DaemonFC MinceR, When you do the math, you choose McGrath. (but only if your skin is sufficiently light colored) [21:56] DaemonFC :) [21:56] MinceR ah, the Fifthist Bank [21:57] DaemonFC MinceR, 911, really? [21:57] DaemonFC Over a possibly bad check? [21:57] DaemonFC The customer was sitting right there. [21:57] DaemonFC 911 is the number for medical emergencies and people waving a gun around or something. [21:58] DaemonFC The person at the dealership should be facing a charge of calling 911 when there was no emergency. [21:58] DaemonFC That's Disorderly Conduct as a felony. [21:58] DaemonFC With a possible sentence of up to two years. [21:58] DaemonFC This country is hopelessly fucked. [21:59] DaemonFC People call 911 over their french fries not being hot enough at McDonald's. [21:59] DaemonFC I don't get it. If people don't like their french fries, they should either order them with no salt, and a salt packet, so they have to put down fresh fries. ● Dec 07 [22:00] DaemonFC Or they should go back up and politely ask for a fresh order, saying that they were under the heat lamp too long. [22:00] DaemonFC On the rare occasion that they gave me cold fries or something, all I had to do was go back up to the counter. [22:00] DaemonFC People are fucked in the head, you know. [22:01] DaemonFC I saw some woman attacking a McDonald's employee with the COVID plexiglass thingy. [22:01] DaemonFC schestowitz, Notice that all of those are gone now? [22:01] DaemonFC In-N-Out Burger said they'll fire any employee that's wearing a face mask without a doctor's slip. [22:01] DaemonFC Because "the customer needs to see you smiling". [22:03] DaemonFC It's vital to find ways to degrade people beyond not paying them a living wage, you know. [22:03] DaemonFC MinceR, ^ [22:03] DaemonFC "We can always get a new employee that smiles, after you die on a ventilator.

[22:15] DaemonFC I might file a Country of Origin Label complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. [22:16] MinceR :) [22:17] DaemonFC I can also sue BP over this.
