[18:36] schestowitz[TR2] my dad told me the same, admfubar [18:36] schestowitz[TR2] today [18:36] schestowitz[TR2] lots of crap online [18:36] schestowitz[TR2] at first he said the internet was improving [18:36] schestowitz[TR2] and then changed his mind [18:36] schestowitz[TR2] it's getting worse over time, in a lot of ways [18:37] IsambardPrince I knew how a pregnant human behaves because I observed my mother when she was pregnant with my brother. [18:37] IsambardPrince She started eating a lot of stuff, and having weird cravings. [18:37] IsambardPrince Like orange danish rolls with frosting and a Coke on the side.

I always loved the two ISTEP days because I do better on standardized testing than a random set of assignments. [18:41] IsambardPrince The teacher asked me what I had for breakfast and I said "Orange danish and coffee". She was like "You had ORANGE DANISH, for BREAKFAST!?". My dad told a guy at RCA about that tone the teacher took with me, and the guy at work said, "Tell him next time to say beer and pretzels." [18:43] IsambardPrince They were always scolding me for not trying harder on my assignments when I would get a B or a C. But then the ISTEP came around and they were baffled about how I wouldn't miss a single question out of hundreds. [18:44] IsambardPrince They would always tell my parents if I didn't try harder they might have to consider summer school. Then BAM. Perfect ISTEP score. The ISTEP decided whether you went to the next grade or got summer school. You know, missing three months of summer to go to school was a powerful incentive to not screw up the test.

[18:48] IsambardPrince The companies that produce Mike Judge's movies always sabotage him by underpromoting them, and then they do very well on DVD or something. [18:49] IsambardPrince Bill Lumbergh was a better movie villain than Nurse Ratched or Darth Vader. He was completely underrated as a movie villain. [18:49] IsambardPrince Because he wasn't an exaggeration of a broken system. He was just portraying middle management completely accurately. [18:50] IsambardPrince He didn't need mythical superpowers like pulling a starship down using The Force. And yet, he was outlandishly evil because it was so real.

[21:12] IsambardPrince It's the exact opposite of how management works. [21:12] IsambardPrince Patton said "Don't tell people how to do things, tell them what to do, and let them surprise you with their results." [21:13] IsambardPrince He had some great ones. [21:14] IsambardPrince My other favorites include "If everyone in the room is thinking the same thing, then someone isn't thinking." [21:14] IsambardPrince And "A good plan, violently executed, right now, beats a perfect plan at some indefinite future date." [21:16] IsambardPrince Time is a vanishing asset in every situation. [21:16] IsambardPrince If you wait around for the perfect plan, the reality will shift from underneath you and ruin that plan. [21:19] IsambardPrince MinceR: The most effective cockroach bait is unfortunately something you can't use around pets reliably. [21:19] IsambardPrince The gels that you leave dots with are vulnerable to a pet going around licking it off the walls .

[21:28] IsambardPrince We should listen to people who are actively displaying signs of emotional distress. [21:28] IsambardPrince And try to help them. [21:28] IsambardPrince But people who pair a threat to kill themselves with a demand for a thing are not those people. [21:29] IsambardPrince They're basically holding themselves hostage in exchange for attention and money and to weaponize a hate campaign against other people. [21:30] IsambardPrince Unfortunately, I think macroeconomics are to blame for some of this. [21:30] IsambardPrince If everyone had a job and all jobs were required to pay enough, you'd have less people doing that to get their basic needs met. [21:30] schestowitz[TR2] there are variations [21:31] schestowitz[TR2] https://techrights.org/n/2026/07/28/What_I_Explained_to_Police_About_Blackmail_and_Death_Threats_vi.shtml [21:31] TR Bot Techrights What I Explained to Police About Blackmail and Death Threats via Burner Accounts (a Practice Which Generally Constitutes a Crime) [21:31] MinceR most people can't be trusted to do any job right [21:31] schestowitz[TR2] same group, same approach [21:31] IsambardPrince But just to say "I might kill myself if you don't help me harass someone using the levers of government."

[21:35] IsambardPrince Dude didn't listen, got tortured and killed along with the rest of the group. Only their guide survived, by being smart, being adaptable. [21:36] IsambardPrince The tribe actually roasted one of the safari members who pissed them off over a spit. [21:38] IsambardPrince That's how all "posh" people think. [21:38] IsambardPrince That having money means that they can do anything they want. [21:38] IsambardPrince That none of the normal rules apply to them. [21:39] IsambardPrince That hasn't changed in all of history, the modern economy has just created more people like that. [21:39] MinceR and they're usually right, apparently [21:40] IsambardPrince Unfortunately. [21:40] IsambardPrince I mentioned this. [21:40] IsambardPrince It basically goes "Nothing is really illegal if you're rich enough to hire lawyers and pay fines. You'll bury the State and get away with it forever." "Anything whose only punishment is a fine is legal for a price." and my favorite, "If the price of paying the fine is cheaper than the profit from breaking the law, the fine is just the government making money alongside you while you continue hurting people." [21:41] IsambardPrince Even Jeffrey Epstein got away with it for over 30 years while everyone knew what he was. He was rich, he hired lawyers, he made corrupt deals, he bribed crooked officials, he made the Bank Secrecy Act disappear while Chase bankers laughed at what he was doing, turned a blind eye, and didn't file mandatory reports. [21:41] IsambardPrince There were apparently thirteen bankers just at JP Morgan Chase that were complicit. [21:41] IsambardPrince They knew he was a pedophile and a sex trafficker. [21:42] IsambardPrince But they didn't care because he was one of their bank's wealthiest clients. [21:42] MinceR the pedophile king is getting away with it too [21:42] IsambardPrince If you're broke and a pedophile you don't get away with it. [21:42] IsambardPrince The police set a low rent trap, a roach motel, and you walk right into it and get skewered. [21:42] IsambardPrince Like Peter Bright. [21:43] IsambardPrince Not rich. [21:43] IsambardPrince Not Bright. [21:43] IsambardPrince Just Pedo Bright. [21:43] MinceR for now it looks like zsolt semjen is getting away with it too [21:43] IsambardPrince The idea of a roach motel is that it just sits there cheaply and catches roaches doing what roaches do. Hug walls and walk, [21:44] IsambardPrince Police catching pedophiles using an internet task force get the ones doing what pedophiles do. [21:44] IsambardPrince The ones that are not smart enough to walk around the trap. [21:44] MinceR and not smart enough to get into the inner circle of a party like fidesz or kdnp [21:44] MinceR or into the roman catholic cult, or into the calvinist cult [21:45] IsambardPrince The police traps are very low effort. [21:45] MinceR the police everything is very low effort [21:45] IsambardPrince You'd have to have an IQ of 80 or 90 to get stuck in one of those. [21:45] IsambardPrince They get on Grindr and spam it with odd looking photos of part of a face of someone that could be young. [21:46] IsambardPrince The language on all of those profiles is cut and paste like "young in hs". [21:46] MinceR the state everything is very low effort, except when it comes to squeezing money out of poor people or making and enforcing pointless laws, like laws to force religious rules on people who didn't ask for them [21:46] IsambardPrince And they're basically on a grid. [21:46] IsambardPrince And they will absolutely message you first. [21:46] IsambardPrince And if you say what I did "I'm not interested in minors and I also know you're a cop." then more profiles will message you. [21:47] IsambardPrince When they realize they can't get anything out of you, eventually a profile messages you offering cocaine. [21:47] IsambardPrince They go maybe he's not a pedo. Offer him drugs and see if he says yes. [21:51] MinceR lol [21:52] IsambardPrince Even when I was on Grindr, if someone said they were like 18 or something I asked them for a state ID. [21:52] IsambardPrince No sting operation is going to come complete with an ID that says they're 18. [21:53] *psydroid3 has quit (Quit: KVIrc 5.2.10 Quasar http://www.kvirc.net/) [21:53] MinceR sounds like they believe that if you use grindr, you're fair game, they just need to find an excuse to lock you up [21:54] IsambardPrince Basically the way it goes is "S/he said s/he was 18!" doesn't make it legal if they're not. It means you have an "affirmative defense". [21:54] IsambardPrince That means you are already arrested, charged, facing trial, and it's something you can bring up to see if the jury believes you. [21:55] IsambardPrince No fake profile will say "I'm 18." because even saying that means that you didn't agree that you would do something illegal. [21:57] IsambardPrince If they said "I'm 17." or "I'm 18." they would be handing your lawyer a gift if they proceeded to arrest you. [21:57] IsambardPrince 17 is the age of consent here. So oddly there are no 17 year olds on Grindr. [21:58] IsambardPrince Only 14, 15, 16... [21:58] IsambardPrince If someone admitted to being 17, they probably are 17. [21:58] IsambardPrince Because even though the state can still charge you with stuff, it's not even a sex offense at this point. It's misdemeanor crap. They don't hunt for misdemeanors. ● Aug 08 [22:02] MinceR (cat) https://imgpile.com/p/6EGjCjY [22:02] TR Bot first Cat-day - imgpile [22:06] *ewig has quit (Remote host closed the connection) [22:18] *TMF (~TMF@gcskfpmudxrrg.irc) has joined #techrights [22:38] TMF Heya [22:39] MinceR kiai ● Aug 08 [23:04] MinceR https://pleated-jeans.com/2026/06/13/amazing-world-photos/ [23:04] TR Bot 30+ Real Fascinating Photos That Seem Fake Presented With No Context Whatsoever
