●● IRC: #techrights @ Techrights IRC Network: Monday, January 08, 2024 ●● ● Jan 08 [00:05] DaemonFC I'd probably have sympathy for a mountain man who was actually shooting at food and fishing because he really didn't want anything from society. [00:05] DaemonFC Not so much for someone who was driving up and down the road and just didn't want to get a plate and license like everyone else. [00:07] DaemonFC The government clashes with people who just want to be left alone have been going back for decades now, but they really came to a head in the early 90s when Bill Clinton had the IRS, ATF, and DEA out there murdering kids. [00:07] DaemonFC Setting the building on fire because their parents didn't pay tax bills. [00:08] DaemonFC MinceR: That episode of Stargate Atlantis where Ronan says "This is usually what happens when you fight back." as they're flying over a planet that's been burned down to the last inch made me laugh. [00:08] DaemonFC I said, "Someone didn't pay their property taxes and Barack Obama was here." [00:09] DaemonFC There was that situation in like 2014, I think, where the feds moved in on the Bundys while they were occupying the wildlife refuge office and murdered one of them. [00:09] DaemonFC Crimes? Sitting in a park ranger's office, making coffee. [00:10] DaemonFC Sentence? Big daddy government whips out his dick. Whack whack. [00:10] DaemonFC Trial? LOL [00:11] DaemonFC The federal government had repeatedly heckled and persecuted Mr. Cliven Bundy. [00:12] DaemonFC Mostly for allowing his cattle to graze on public land without paying a ridiculously low fee that would not have been a significant source of money to a federal government that now adds $1 trillion in debt every 3 months. [00:12] DaemonFC So they can give foreign aid to Islamic terror countries which they borrowed from China. [00:13] MinceR you wouldn't borrow an islamic terror country from china [00:13] DaemonFC This government could have dealt with Cliven Bundy in any number of ways, including sending him a tax bill and using liens and levies to take the money, but the federal government clearly wanted to make a statement. [00:13] DaemonFC So they became excessively combative and confrontational. [00:13] DaemonFC They borrowed the money from China, to hand it to countries that are Islamic Terror States. [00:14] DaemonFC And then they need Cliven Bundy's 50 cents from cows eating grass. [00:14] DaemonFC To make the budget work, as they throw a trillion dollars on the debt pile per 3 months. [00:14] DaemonFC It makes sense, right? [00:14] DaemonFC MinceR: When the government finally put Cliven Bundy on trial, not much came out of it. [00:15] DaemonFC The federal judge mostly blamed the Obama Administration for escalating the situation which led to the occupation of the wildlife refuge office. [00:15] DaemonFC And the government never had to pay for the wrongful death of Mr. Bundy's brother. [00:15] MinceR really makes me wonder which government doesn't work like this, in your opinion [00:16] DaemonFC I'm guessing the Orbanistani organs of state are worse. [00:16] MinceR yes they are [00:18] DaemonFC MinceR: I believe the government's justification for murder, the root of it, was Mr. Bundy's non-payment of like a few thousand dollars for several years of letting his cattle graze on public land. [00:18] DaemonFC And it wasn't even him that they murdered. They murdered his brother. [00:18] DaemonFC Which, again, he had a business with a bank account. [00:19] DaemonFC The IRS could have gotten into it without even taking him to court and could have deducted the amount owed plus fines and interest. [00:20] DaemonFC MinceR: I don't even have my Treasury 1099 yet. But I know what their FEIN number is and what the Box 3 interest will be. [00:20] DaemonFC So I already have the interest typed in to TurboTax because I know everything that will be on the form. [00:20] DaemonFC I'll just double check the form when it does get printed. [00:21] DaemonFC You don't need to use the 1099 to file your taxes if you know the information. [00:21] DaemonFC It's an "informational form". [00:21] DaemonFC If you don't get the 1099 from someone who you think should have sent you one, but you do know who paid you and what amount, it's better to use line 8, other income. [00:22] DaemonFC Because if you get in touch with the payer and have them send you another form, they MIGHT accidentally create a new form, send that one to the IRS as well, and now there's mismatched income data on your tax file. :) [00:22] DaemonFC So awesome dealing with the government, isn't it? [00:22] MinceR depends on how you deal with them [00:24] DaemonFC The IRS knows all kinds of things. They're unbelievably good at knowing things. Just like the police are. [00:24] DaemonFC And they like to ask you questions they already know the answer to. [00:26] DaemonFC It's an exercise in promoting compliance. If you do this enough times then it trains the people you do it to that you always know the answer. [00:26] DaemonFC MinceR: Room 101. You know what's in Room 101. [00:27] DaemonFC It's the most horrible thing in the world. [00:27] MinceR :> [00:27] MinceR humans? [00:27] MinceR jinping the eleventh? [00:27] MinceR bill gAIDS? [00:27] MinceR steve "blow" jobs?

[00:34] DaemonFC The judge was only going to give him 90 days for some traffic shit and he ran out of the court, added felony escape, ran from the officers going over 90 mph on city streets, and crashed into a woman's van with her children in the vehicle. [00:35] DaemonFC Then the cop asked him why he ran and he says "I was going to jail for 90 days and I have my whole life ahead of me." [00:35] DaemonFC He was only going to have to serve half of that, so 45 days turned into about 6-8 years. [00:37] DaemonFC MinceR: "He only had to do two years. Now they'll never let him out!!!!"

[00:42] DaemonFC It's cheap, there's a lot of it, and cops and judges piss people off and get them to do stupid things in front of a camera. [00:43] DaemonFC The best way to deal with cops and judges is to remember that they have a lot of very bad things they can do to you and you can't do much except not take their bait. [00:43] DaemonFC So no matter how badly it's going, keep your temper under control. [00:44] DaemonFC But I think, a lot of people aren't thinking on that level. [00:44] DaemonFC "It's bad, all I can do is make it a lot worse." [00:46] DaemonFC This is hilarious. [00:47] DaemonFC So this woman who isn't even in any trouble goes to court to file a restraining order (something women do to harass men) and gets so loud and obnoxious with a bailiff in the hallway because she's late for court and he won't let her in, that the judge himself leaves the bench, detains her, and has her arrested for contempt of court. [00:47] DaemonFC Then she runs, and resists arrest, and batters a police officer in the jail. [00:48] DaemonFC Normally, restraining orders are something sleazebag divorce lawyers tell women to file because "It makes the man look bad if you claim he's abusive." [00:48] DaemonFC But it's usually something women do after they behaved badly and caused the marriage to fall apart. [00:48] DaemonFC Like when my mom committed adultery. [00:48] DaemonFC Restraining orders are a form of DARVO. [00:50] DaemonFC If I was this woman's husband I'd definitely grab the video of her contempt charge and her hitting the cops and resisting arrest. It would be great if you could play that back at the divorce hearing. [00:50] DaemonFC "See, this is what I had to go through during this marriage and you all got to witness it when you about gave her a restraining order." [00:51] DaemonFC I know you're not supposed to be contemptuous of the court, but as I said "and you all got to witness it" I'd toss my hands up in the air for dramatic effect. [00:54] DaemonFC Then the parade of Lobsters. [00:54] DaemonFC (Men who don't pay child support.) [00:54] DaemonFC Unfortunately, Ohio doesn't have "gender affirming care" on Medicaid, so they can't shout "deadnaming". [00:54] DaemonFC :) ● Jan 08 [01:07] DaemonFC MinceR: I'm like 70% sure they'll let my ex out on the SAFE-T Act even though there was physical harm (to me) and even though it's very serious charges. [01:08] DaemonFC Their jail is so clogged that they have to buy cells in another county. [01:08] DaemonFC If he fails to appear he's just fucking himself harder because they'll do the trial anyway and give him whatever they feel like. [01:09] DaemonFC There is a lot of pressure to turn yourself in. Unlike an arrest warrant, being an escaped fugitive shows up on nearly any background check. [01:09] DaemonFC Also, at this point it's no longer optional for the other state to hand him over. [01:10] DaemonFC He already dodged some felonies because our former prosecutor was a homophobe. [01:10] DaemonFC He's a judge now, but over in family court so he's irrelevant to the criminal system. [01:15] *libredev (~libredev@w4s7ck52qnvc2.irc) has joined #techrights [01:17] DaemonFC Ariadne Conill [01:17] DaemonFC @ariadne [01:17] DaemonFC EN [01:17] DaemonFC and yes; you would think SPD should be doing something about these things, but unfortunately they are useless and pouting about being held accountable for killing innocent people and running them over [01:17] DaemonFC --- [01:17] DaemonFC Officer Buxton at SPD seemed nice when I was talking to him on the phone. [01:17] DaemonFC He told me how to go about dismantling that red light camera ticket my ex racked up for us. [01:18] DaemonFC Apparently, Seattle has some sort of form you mail to the court that says "I wasn't driving the car." and they have to take you off the ticket. [01:18] DaemonFC Which makes it less terrible than the law where I live. [01:20] DaemonFC You basically have three defenses where I live. Your car or plates were stolen at the time, you had to get out of the way of an emergency vehicle that was right behind you, or there was something wrong with the ticket where they fail to completely identify which vehicle it actually was, but mailed it to you anyway. [01:21] DaemonFC Technically, your fourth defense is "a police officer pulled me over for the exact same incident and wrote me a moving violation as a petty offense". Now, this is better and worse. Better in that you get to go to an actual court of law and argue that you, personally, shouldn't be found guilty, or plea bargain it. Worse in that potentially if convicted, it may raise your insurance rates. [01:22] *libredev has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [01:22] DaemonFC Cops pulling you over is also worse because if you lose at trial you can also be ordered to attend traffic court. [01:22] DaemonFC And they can't make you do that over a camera no matter how many fines you rack up. [01:23] DaemonFC The camera system is set up so they can argue that they don't have to prove much of anything except that that car went through that light. [01:24] DaemonFC They don't have to prove anything except that it wasn't stolen and it belongs to you.

[03:30] DaemonFC It was part of this "We have to justify Internet Explorer by throwing it into everything." phase. [03:30] schestowitz yes [03:30] schestowitz because win98 had a browser [03:30] schestowitz even as the wallpaper! [03:30] DaemonFC Not having Internet Explorer or its engine in my copy of Windows 98 made it impossible to use Office 97. [03:31] DaemonFC I could have used it but it would have meant installing IE all over again in order to use it. [03:31] DaemonFC Which was possible. [03:31] schestowitz eventually chrome replace msie [03:31] schestowitz and then msie was 'dropped' [03:31] schestowitz for a chrome(ium) clone [03:31] DaemonFC After you ran RoM II SE to remove IE, and fed it the Windows 95 shell, the Office 97 installer thought it was running on Windows 95 and offers to install IE. [03:31] schestowitz and it fails at adoption, still [03:31] DaemonFC You even get a choice as to whether to install the "shell update". [03:32] DaemonFC If you decide not to, you get the Windows 95 B shell, IE, and an Uninstall entry (that works) in Add/Remove Programs. [03:32] DaemonFC On Windows 98. :) [03:33] DaemonFC schestowitz: Just for the hell of it, I installed Internet Explorer 3 on Windows 98 SE for a bit. [03:33] DaemonFC Just to mess around with it because I had never used it. [03:33] DaemonFC So, all of these possibilities show that even Microsoft's tools treated such an installation as "Windows 95" because they couldn't detect any part of IE that had survived. [03:34] DaemonFC So it showed that it was not, in fact, "deeply integrated". [03:34] DaemonFC Professor Felton's removal tool didn't even go as far as 98Lite or RoM II. [03:34] DaemonFC They should have gotten Shane Brooks or Bruce Jensen to testify against Microsoft. [03:35] DaemonFC Felton's tool did leave behind the rendering engine.

[22:25] DaemonFC It's amazing how libs can't figure out that when you own the company you can hire yourself. [22:25] MinceR https://pleated-jeans.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/bizarre-and-darkly-humorous-whoops-comics-13.jpg [22:26] DaemonFC Nobody cares what browser you use. If it's Mozilla, it's on death's doorstep anyway. [22:26] DaemonFC And they fired Eich to get the libtards to support them. [22:26] DaemonFC And then they lost over 90% of their users that they had then. [22:26] DaemonFC Google can let them fall over once they've won the antitrust case. [22:26] MinceR and they turned the world's best browser into a shitty copy of chromium [22:27] DaemonFC Chrome by itself controls over 70% of the browser market now. [22:27] MinceR and the excuse for most of that was "but if we don't do it, everyone will switch to chromium!" [22:27] MinceR so they did it, and everyone switched to chromium. [22:27] MinceR good fucking job, mozilla. [22:28] DaemonFC Brave has more users than Firefox does now. [22:28] MinceR :) [22:28] DaemonFC And Eich can just have them pull Chromium and apply a patch set to it and ship it, so there's not much in the way of overhead. [22:28] *darwin has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [22:29] DaemonFC It's impossible for Mozilla to affect the Web too much. [22:29] DaemonFC They only barely have enough users for anyone to care about and if they lose just a few more, the US government won't even have to support it on government websites. [22:29] DaemonFC It's an entire rendering engine with its own quirks and functionality gaps that you have to test for. [22:30] DaemonFC So at this point you're doubling your workload to test for a browser that only about 1 in 45 people even use. [22:30] DaemonFC Firefox is even less popular than that when you restrict that figure to the US and Europe, where that figure drops to about 1 in 70 people. [22:31] DaemonFC So if you have an English language site, you care about Firefox even less. [22:32] DaemonFC It really is unfortunate that the woke trolls and Mitchell Baker telling them to shovel a bunch of malware and adware into the browser drove everyone off and only a bunch of insane troons even want Firefox now. [22:32] DaemonFC If you don't tell Brave to turn on the Rewards platform, it never is on. [22:32] DaemonFC So the "crypto stuff" doesn't even matter. [22:33] DaemonFC If you never generate any BAT because it's always been off, you do NOT have to attach an 8849 or Schedule D to to your taxes or answer the Crypto question in the affirmative, assuming you didn't dabble in crypto anywhere else. [22:34] MinceR i tried the BAT thing, then it stopped working, so i turned it off [22:34] DaemonFC So Brave is not, by default, a "crypto platform". [22:34] DaemonFC Because the default is to ask the user. [22:35] DaemonFC Also, the IRS still probably wouldn't know unless you go to add an exchange that has to follow the Know Your Customer and FATCA regulations, but you should still report the crypto if you have some. So I advise just leaving the whole damn thing off if you're an American. [22:37] DaemonFC It's not worth adding $80 and a reporting requirement to your TurboTax bill that year over a BAT scheme that can only generate about $3 a month. [22:37] DaemonFC Which you are supposed to "donate" from. [22:38] DaemonFC Also, if you want a real complaint against Brave, their crypto exchange partner Uphold does sketchy shit like freezing people's money for "80 day cool down periods" and sometimes just refusing to let them have it or saying it all got transferred out and then not answering their support email. [22:38] DaemonFC According to about a million posts on Reddit. [22:39] DaemonFC But that's what you SHOULD expect when you do business with tech bros in San Francisco. [22:39] DaemonFC And exchanges based in the UK. [22:40] DaemonFC Uphold is better than Celsius and Binance and FTX in one way. Well, two. It hasn't officially collapsed and had the CEO try to escape the country yet. Also, they never said that your money was FDIC insured when it is not a deposit account and they are not Federal Reserve members and not paying FDIC insurance premiums. [22:41] DaemonFC MinceR: Some old fart threatened me at the Post Office today. [22:42] DaemonFC I told him "Well, if you think that's a good idea on federal land where the Postal Inspection Service will arrest you on federal assault charges, in front of 6 cameras and 20 people... [22:42] DaemonFC "I'd get a Google Map to find out where to go for your hearings though." [22:43] DaemonFC He shut up and turned around and didn't even look at me after that. [22:44] DaemonFC The Post Office is one place where you could land yourself in federal custody for taking a swing at someone, because the feds have law enforcement jurisdiction at the Post Office. [22:44] DaemonFC That's why you almost never hear about violent crime in the Post Office even in bad neighborhoods. [22:45] DaemonFC If you think someone with a gun is following you and you can duck into the Post Office, it would be a good idea. Most gang members don't want to get involved with the feds because they aren't fucking around like the Democrat state prosecutor will. [22:46] DaemonFC MinceR: There was a guy back in the 60s, who robbed a gas station and got some candy and like $50. [22:47] DaemonFC Turns out, it was a small town so it was also the Post Office. [22:47] DaemonFC They sent him to Alcatraz.

[22:48] MinceR carpe dime [22:48] DaemonFC Quit letting them into the country. [22:49] DaemonFC They should pass a law that says if you're a registered Democrat who gets their car totaled by an illegal alien, the insurance doesn't have to pay the claim. [22:50] *darwin (~darwin@7d3n498busjrn.irc) has joined #techrights [22:50] DaemonFC MinceR: I'm surprised Ariadne was smart enough to have Uninsured Motorist Property Damage, honestly. [22:50] DaemonFC GEICO defaults to not selecting this when you ask for Full Coverage. [22:51] DaemonFC They also slip in, unlike any other insurer that I am aware of, that if the guy flees the scene and it cannot be determined who hit you, GEICO won't pay even if you have UMPD. [22:51] DaemonFC Ariadne should get rid of GEICO. [22:51] DaemonFC That's good advice you know. [22:52] DaemonFC So if an illegal alien hits you and flees, or he just gives the cops a false and fictitious name and then bounces, ne'er to be seen again, have fun with GEICO. [22:53] DaemonFC Progressive's contract reads such that if there is a hit and run driver the cops don't catch, then they will assume that it was an uninsured driver and pay for your car. [22:54] DaemonFC Thanks to the SAFE-T Act, they no longer CAN detain the other driver for hit and run unless it caused bodily harm to you or one of your passengers, or one of their passengers. [22:55] DaemonFC So if you get hit by an illegal alien, start screaming about, you know, the pain, the pain. [22:55] DaemonFC And then the cops can arrest the guy. Don't try to downplay the pain you're in. [22:56] DaemonFC If you tell the cops you're fine, he'll bounce and you'll never see him again. [22:56] DaemonFC It's really easy for most illegals to drop a fake name and disappear since the cops issue the citation to a person who doesn't exist and don't run their fingerprints. [22:57] DaemonFC So you can end up with fake name, stolen car, your car is busted, you're in the hospital, and GEICO says they can't identify who hit you. And why would they want to? [22:57] DaemonFC If they identify them they may owe you for hospital bills, surgery, a totaled car. [22:57] DaemonFC They don't want this guy to be found anymore than the guy does. [22:58] DaemonFC > Krzysztof Sakrejda [22:58] DaemonFC > @wronglang@tech.lgbt [22:58] DaemonFC > EN [22:58] DaemonFC > @ariadne hm, we have a class of people so screwed over financially to begin with it becomes impractical to hold them accountable for monetary damages... That's quite the setup! [22:58] DaemonFC They should be deported. [22:58] DaemonFC They have no legal right to be here and they never planned to make it right. [22:59] DaemonFC Millions upon millions of Americans get screwed so bad that it's impossible for them to pay all their bills and nobody cares about us. [22:59] DaemonFC Fucking liberal. [22:59] DaemonFC MinceR: There's this girl mom works with that got knocked up by an illegal Mexican who is 17 and working on a farm. ● Jan 08 [23:00] DaemonFC Every weekend, all the Mexicans pay a hooker to come to the farm and take turns on the hooker, including this guy. [23:00] DaemonFC So he not only got her pregnant and has no plans to make this right, he gave her syphilis too. [23:00] DaemonFC And she won't tell the cops who he is "because he's so hot". [23:00] DaemonFC :D [23:01] DaemonFC So many people out there are as stupid as they are gross.

[23:02] DaemonFC Yeah, I do wonder how having your car trashed and ending up in the hospital with nobody paying for it by a guy who should be in Venezuela and is living off your tax money at the Four Seasons with an Obamaphone and a food stamp card you don't get could possibly breed any resentment. [23:04] DaemonFC You're the poor fool on his way to work for $13 an hour and this asshat just ruined your car that only barely works anyway. [23:04] DaemonFC And you're not supposed to get mad? [23:07] DaemonFC The first thing they tell you about selecting your insurance coverage is consider what you could lose if you hit someone. [23:07] DaemonFC For most people that's nothing. [23:08] DaemonFC So you can probably stop at about the state minimum if that describes you and then you have enough insurance to not be slapped in handcuffs. [23:08] DaemonFC But it's free to play around with it and keep hitting the update quote button. [23:08] MinceR (cat) https://ircz.de/p/20030269 [23:08] TR Bot WHOOPSIE [23:09] DaemonFC Doubling the state minimum can often only cost $1-2 a month more, so it may be worth doing even if you don't have much. [23:10] DaemonFC I always tell people consider what you have to lose, but don't buy so much that you're a magnet for trouble. [23:10] DaemonFC If you have enough to pay their hospital bill and car but not much more coverage than that, it's easier for your insurance adjuster to get them to take a settlement and go away and the car insurance handles them for you. [23:12] DaemonFC The adjusters are usually really good at what they do, which is getting people who have a lot of bills from that car accident to take an insultingly low amount of money. [23:13] DaemonFC The insurance company doesn't make money by just handing people the coverage limits every time there's a claim and then going to lunch. [23:14] DaemonFC When people who sell insurance say that they bite their knuckles when they see a 50/100/50 policy, that's because that's a guy who knows how much insurance to buy, not a guy who is going to be a huge payday for the insurance agent. [23:14] DaemonFC Unless you hit a guy coming out of the Mercedes Benz dealer who literally just bought the car, 50 is usually enough. [23:14] DaemonFC But some insurers will go to 100 for pennies more. [23:15] DaemonFC What car salesmen don't impress on people is just how much "value" comes out the tailpipe after you drive it off the lot. [23:16] DaemonFC That's how that guy up in Wisconsin that I know blew off GAP insurance and wound up totaling his car and owing the finance company $5,000 after his insurance paid out. [23:17] DaemonFC True to GenZer liberal form.... [23:17] DaemonFC After failing to plan for an eventuality, he started a GoFundMe so other people could chip in to buy him another car.

[23:37] DaemonFC I'm just hoping they don't go to mRNA flu shots only. [23:37] DaemonFC I won't be taking that. [23:37] DaemonFC They're just redoing things we already have and making them more dangerous, to jack up the price. [23:37] ZedHedTed i've had a very good record w/ the flu shot [23:38] ZedHedTed i always get it. they'd better not switch to the snake oil mRNA version.
