[00:00]	nobody	IsambardPrince: India got their caste system
[00:01]	nobody	so there's that too
[00:01]	nobody	couldn't refrain
[00:03]	nobody	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caste_system_in_India
[00:03]	TR Bot	 Caste system in India - Wikipedia
[00:11]	IsambardPrince	Yeah.
[00:11]	IsambardPrince	Fucked up country.
[00:12]	IsambardPrince	But saying we should kill people and implement eugenics on Twitter then ending up in the US Treasury Dept is.....frightening that's even possible, honestly.
[00:12]	IsambardPrince	Maybe there's hope for Liquid Plumbr yet.
[00:14]	MinceR	it's what the majority of the voters wanted.
[00:14]	MinceR	nazism.
[00:51]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], "Meta sent employees an internal memo on Friday outlining what to expect as the tech giant implements its latest round of layoffs affecting 5% of its 72,000-person workforce, around 3,000 employees."
[00:51]	IsambardPrince	"U.S.-based employees will receive a notification on Monday at 5 a.m. PT. Within an hour of receiving the email, affected employees will be kicked off of company systems. The email will inform them of their termination and contain details about their severance package."
[00:51]	IsambardPrince	Disposed of like garbage.
[00:54]	MinceR	i wouldn't mind if faecesbook had a workforce of 0
[00:55]	MinceR	they should do that to xitter and dikhtok as well

[01:54]	IsambardPrince	"Back in 1998 I was down there when Disney World was still nice and I was listening to a headset radio at the "KOA Kampground". 
[01:54]	IsambardPrince	The guy on the radio had a caller who said she was from Illinois and they retired in Florida, and what was horrible was if you left the windows down just a bit at night... Then the guy jumped in and said "You wake up and there's Cubans living in it. It's awful!""
[01:54]	IsambardPrince	I mentioned that in a comment posted somewhere.
[01:56]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, The Treasury guarantees that if you buy Series EE Savings Bonds, they'll double if you hold them for 20 years.
[01:56]	IsambardPrince	Assuming that there will be a country in 20 years to make good on that is optimistic.
[01:56]	IsambardPrince	Or that Marko Elez (who is back now apparently), who wants to "gas the Jews", won't just steal them.
[01:56]	IsambardPrince	I'm thinking that Marko Elez might not be Hungarian.
[01:57]	IsambardPrince	He might be a pseudonym for an Irishman.

[01:57]	TR Bot	 Republicans somehow stoop even lower to get racist DOGE employee back
● Feb 08
[02:06]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I've been referring to Attorney General Pam Bondi as "Pam Bondage".
[02:06]	MinceR	:)
[02:09]	IsambardPrince	I told someone on Reddit: "I would tell you how to write an Amicus Curiae brief but if the court got something from you it would spark a federal investigation of why someone was writing the judge in orange crayon with half the letters backward."
[02:09]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, They tend to get a bit cranky when they have to evacuate a federal building at 11 AM.
[02:10]	IsambardPrince	There wa a man who wrote a bizarre letter claiming to be the "Governor of Illinois" and telling them they needed to close a federal courthouse.
[02:10]	IsambardPrince	They ended up arresting the "Governor of Illinois" later.
[02:11]	IsambardPrince	If that was Pritzker he lost some weight.
[02:31]	IsambardPrince	Mom wondered why the stock market isn't doing too well now. I said, "Oh I don't know. Maybe if someone didn't turn over the national government to the cast of Hee-Haw."
[02:31]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, ^
[02:31]	MinceR	:>
[02:32]	MinceR	strange, i thought initially the stock market loved nazi america
[02:32]	MinceR	maybe it took them this long to realize that it isn't some sort of free-market utopia?
[02:32]	IsambardPrince	It did, until he started behaving so erratically that even they couldn't smile and think happy things anymore. Which was about a week.
[02:33]	IsambardPrince	Optimism > Concern > Full Blown Panic

[03:31]	IsambardPrince	LOL
[03:31]	IsambardPrince	China accused the United States of "coercion".
[03:31]	IsambardPrince	Yes, nothing coercive ever happens in China or involving China.
[03:32]	MinceR	rotfl
[03:32]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Trump scared the fuck out of Panama and they started distancing themselves from the Chinese.
[03:32]	IsambardPrince	Including pulling out of the Belt and Road Initiative early.
[03:32]	IsambardPrince	And saying they won't renew it.
[03:32]	MinceR	nice
[03:33]	IsambardPrince	Trump told them he's considering invoking a treaty between US and Panama from 1979.
[03:33]	IsambardPrince	Which gives the United States the right to invade Panama if there is a "hostile foreign presence" that threatens the canal.
[03:34]	IsambardPrince	I think that Panama will probably ask that Chinese company to leave.
[03:34]	IsambardPrince	They'd rather do that than have it be the excuse for the US military coming in and seizing the canal.

[11:28]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], The courts are delaying bits and pieces of what DOGE is up to.
[11:28]	IsambardPrince	But the complaints are specific, and when ordered to stop doing those specific things, DOGE starts jackhammering somewhere else illegally in the middle of the night.
[11:29]	IsambardPrince	The goal is to constantly be screwing something up where no court has ruled on it yet, moving as fast as you can, so the damage will be mostly done before the injunction comes in.
[11:29]	IsambardPrince	I'm convinced some of this isn't even meant to take effect. They know it won't, but it's chaff.
