[05:49] DaemonFC So here you have fry cooks, janitors, shelf stockers, cashiers, boring people who keep their heads down and are unlikely to get in any trouble. [05:50] DaemonFC Then you have "Conscience - Intelligent". They can formulate plans within the confines of the law and what they consider to be right and wrong, so you have people that are somewhat more successful but if an opportunity to plan something out that is morally objectionable comes along, they won't do it. So their intelligence is self-limiting, but they do better than a lot of people in their career and they're unlikely to get in a lot of trouble. [05:51] DaemonFC Then youh ave "No conscience. Intelligent." As you might imagine, this is where white collar criminals hang out, and their lawyers too. Lots of plastic surgeons, dentists, software programmers. Matthew Garrett.

[05:55] DaemonFC Mr. Moral Relativism [05:55] DaemonFC And I'd have to say that's why I said the character Walter White/Heisenberg didn't do anything terribly wrong if you think about it, at least not directly or deliberately. [05:56] DaemonFC There is always a way you could justify everything he did in every episode of the show. [05:56] DaemonFC And people will say "He murdered some people. Did it himself.". [05:56] DaemonFC Yeah. And they were a bunch of violent cartel criminals that were all killing people too. Most of their victims were bystanders. [05:56] DaemonFC World is no worse off without them, so Walter White did nothing wrong. [05:57] DaemonFC Just as a thought experiment. [05:57] DaemonFC The murder, the meth, nothing wrong. You'd have just as many meth heads without him. [05:57] DaemonFC So what harm did he cause? [05:58] DaemonFC mjg59_ brought up the kid that Todd killed. [05:58] DaemonFC What was Walt going to do about it at that point? [05:58] DaemonFC The kid was dead. If Walt went to the cops, then Walt would have been in trouble for everything, including being charged with murder because it happened during the train heist.

A lot of what reins me in is some combination of the punishment I'd receive for this or that, or loyalty to family members or Mandy. [06:02] DaemonFC In reality, even if I could operate at Walt's level, the punishment would be the only thing stopping me. [06:04] DaemonFC If they find you, they will put you in some deep dark hole in a Maximum Security Prison in Colorado, where you're allowed to exercise and shower for one hour a day for the rest of your life. [06:04] DaemonFC That's incentive. [06:08] DaemonFC It's all about fear. [06:08] DaemonFC Fear will motivate a person into doing just enough to avoid the thing. [06:08] DaemonFC A reasonable person, at least. [06:09] DaemonFC I was talking to mom about her ex-husband going years without filing an income tax return. [06:10] DaemonFC The IRS Criminal Investigation Division could have pounced on him if it wanted to, for failure to file. [06:10] DaemonFC The only reason it didn't was because it owed him money all those years and he never filed, so they wouldn't have been able to hit him with anything that made them a lot of money, because there was no intent to evade his taxes. [06:11] DaemonFC Therefore, if the CID got involved, they would have taken on the enormous expense of a trial and punishing him with something, without making any money. [06:16] DaemonFC It's strange how that's such a negative incentive. I mean, god knows they could have gotten him for at least 7 counts, maybe more. [06:20] IPFS () Planet Gemini updated.

[08:13] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], ^ [08:13] DaemonFC I keep explaining to my mother how the lottery works. [08:14] DaemonFC Next time "Did you hear it's at $1.7 billion?". [08:15] DaemonFC I go "Yeah, and they do that by lowering the odds of winning. It used to be 1 in 144 million and now it's 1 in 800 million. Then when someone wins, every 4-6 months, out of an entire country throwing their paychecks away, the IRS and state comes in and takes away two-thirds from the lucky winner.". [08:16] DaemonFC It's another way the government steals from people. [08:17] DaemonFC 800 million tickets before one wins. Each ticket costing $20 (to say nothing of the other "games") if you want this one to have a chance at getting all the numbers and the "power ball". [08:18] DaemonFC That's 800,000,000 * $20 = $16,000,000,000. [08:19] DaemonFC They take in $16 billion in tickets, someone wins like a billion and some odd millions. [08:19] DaemonFC So let's say the jackpot hits $1.6 billion. By this time, they're paying out 10 cents on each dollar they took in, and they only do this to get headlines. Nobody would play if there was never really a prize going out. [08:20] IPFS () Planet Gemini updated.

[08:20] DaemonFC Turns out they take 40% of that if you want it all at once. [08:20] DaemonFC Yeah, the jackpot was actually going to be a 20 year thing and a lot of people don't want to wait that long. [08:21] DaemonFC So many people just say hey, 60% is still $960 million. [08:21] DaemonFC Then the IRS and state come in, take half in taxes, even though the winnings were paid out from taxes that they took in in the first place. [08:22] DaemonFC Anyway, by this point they triple dip you and the $1.6 billion turns into $480 million. [08:23] DaemonFC So by this point, they've stolen $16 billion from the country in just this powerball jackpot and only paid $480 million. That's 3% paid out of what they took in, and only one person gets it. [08:24] DaemonFC The other 100 million or so who poured money into it got nothing or maybe some "free" tickets that won nothing to keep them playing. [08:24] DaemonFC The mafia runs games that pay out more than this. [08:24] DaemonFC But then there's the Lottery Winner's Curse. [08:25] DaemonFC If mom actually got $480 million it'd be gone and she'd be dead in a month. [08:25] DaemonFC Because she wouldn't be able to keep her big mouth shut about it. [08:25] DaemonFC She certainly wouldn't hire a financial planner. [08:26] DaemonFC It's just another way the government parasites off people and keeps them down. [08:26] DaemonFC Compulsive gambling. [08:27] DaemonFC People complain about taxes, but if you buy just a lottery ticket each paycheck in the demographic that these "games" are directed at, you've probably paid more to the government through the lottery than the IRS. [08:27] DaemonFC And you did it deliberately! [08:52] *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)

[22:52] DaemonFC I've actually paid to go to these people before and then found out that they were more screwed up than I was. [22:53] DaemonFC Like, I'm paying to talk to the guy, and he's laying out his childhood abuse on me. A vivid account of his drunkard of a father molesting him, and then I was wondering why I was paying to listen to this. [22:54] DaemonFC Then later, how he was so out of control that he got behind the wheel of his car higher than a kite and ran into a kid playing in the street. [22:55] DaemonFC Heroin, he said. [22:55] DaemonFC So, like, I didn't go back. Why should I pay that guy? My life isn't so fucked up that I suffered any childhood molestation by a family member than shot up and hit a kid with my car, so what am I doing in there paying a guy who is laying this all out on me?

[23:34] DaemonFC The stuff that didn't have computers in it at all. [23:34] DaemonFC They say that it's less of a hassle to get one of these new machines that has to go to a John Deere center for 300% the cost, and you get your farm equipment back whenever the hell they get around to you. [23:35] DaemonFC So you have to buy more to account for the extra down time. [23:35] DaemonFC The Russians stole a bunch of this new farm equipment from Ukraine. [23:36] DaemonFC John Deere disabled it. The Russians said they were looking at how to bypass this to get it to start anyway. [23:36] DaemonFC I don't know if they ever did. [23:36] DaemonFC I think they'll end up spending more trying to than what the equipment is actually worth. [23:37] DaemonFC And even if they do, it won't have the same features anymore, and they'll have to figure out what to do when a part goes bad. [23:37] DaemonFC My Buick is old enough that physically compatible parts work for most of the things that can go wrong. [23:37] DaemonFC But it does need actual OE parts for some things like the ABS system because that's software that has to communicate with other parts of the system.
