[00:00]	DaemonFC	If you want a pair of shoes because yours are worn and you really need shoes, and you have plenty of money for the shoes, but stretching it into 0% interest payments lets you keep more money in the bank making interest for you, then you're effectively paying negative interest on the shoes.
[00:00]	DaemonFC	That's not a terrible thing.
[00:00]	DaemonFC	What is a terrible thing is when people have a lot of plans and no money and are buying things they don't really need.
[00:02]	DaemonFC	Like most financial products, they can work for you or they can bury you.
[00:02]	DaemonFC	And their goal is to bury you and make it easy for that to happen. So you can be like MARISOL.
[00:03]	DaemonFC	Wikipedia does say "avoid weasel words" but if you read it even occasionally, they're everywhere.
[00:04]	DaemonFC	Along with bad citation, written like an advertisement, and articles that just aren't notable for an encyclopedia, and it's really hard to get rid of these.
[00:04]	DaemonFC	I know. I've tried. I've only successfully had one article removed for being so badly written and unsalvagable.

[00:58]	Sompi	Also it cannot boot Linux if some other partitioning than MS-DOS MBR is used
[00:59]	Sompi	And also it cannot boot early versions of BSD where the root filesystem just starts at the first sector of the hard disk

[01:43]	DaemonFC	"A drug addict invaded our apartment building this week and was sleeping it off in the laundry room each night. I found him passed out next to a syringe. He had been using the drain as a toilet.
[01:43]	DaemonFC	Apparently other tenants had complained about this for some time before I was aware and the landlord was ignoring them. I solved the problem by having the police reach out to the landlord. He fixed the broken front doors to the building that caused them to prop themselves open and gave me authority to have non-residents trespassed since the police couldn't do anything about this without...
[01:43]	DaemonFC	...that. Haven't seen him since.
[01:43]	DaemonFC	Not happy that he has to rough sleep but I can't have a threat like that 15 feet from my front door. Mandy told me I should feel horrible about having him removed from the premises, but I said "There's a reason why they won't let him in the shelter. Maybe an intervention before he overdoses will happen now that he's made an issue and a social worker came out with the police."
[01:43]	DaemonFC	Update from orthopedic surgeon. They say it will require shoulder surgery but not "open surgery". There's about three kinds of surgery, arthroscopic, open, and shoulder replacement. This is going to be arthroscopic. With any luck they can get the offending masses removed and my shoulder will heal soon.
[01:43]	DaemonFC	It's about the best news you could get under the "surgery" heading.
[01:43]	DaemonFC	They said follow up with Dr. ****** (Internal Medicine) about the incidental scarring on the lung. I'm not terribly worried about that as most people who "recovered" from COVID have a lot of lingering health problems, including scarred lungs. It could have been worse. 
[01:43]	DaemonFC	My friend Roy in the UK showed me a video of a UK surgeon that said 20-30% of autopsies in the UK since the COVID "vaccines" went out have this gunky white buildup in the arteries that they're flushing out and the government just doesn't admit it's happening. So that's disconcerting. After four shots followed by COVID, I had decided there would not be a fifth shot. I'm sorry I ever went...
[01:43]	DaemonFC	...along with that and I'm glad I stopped before anything else happened to me because of them.
[01:43]	DaemonFC	I feel like a great crime has been committed against 75% of the population and the FDA is hiding the documents and saying "Just wait 70 years." (after everyone harmed by it is dead and nobody cares) before they admit what really happened here."

[05:58]	DaemonFC	An offer or negotiation is not an admission. Legally or morally.  
[05:58]	DaemonFC	Especially since FICO10 now removes paid off debts. Sometimes it makes sense to negotiate even if contested.
[05:58]	DaemonFC	Great example of this is if you will be buying a house in a few months. It could take six months to sue and contest a debt, even in small claims court. 
[05:58]	DaemonFC	Negotiations without an explicit admission legally does not constitute an acceptance per FDCPA. 
[05:58]	DaemonFC	---
[05:58]	DaemonFC	I would qualify this as "Name anything that uses FICO10."
[05:59]	DaemonFC	Most auto loans, mortgages, and credit cards, are not even using FICO8 or FICO9.
[05:59]	DaemonFC	The older models are still available and they don't want to use ones that are getting more liberal about what counts as a strike against you.
[05:59]	DaemonFC	So you might see your FICO10 improving and it probably won't matter at all if it does.

[06:48]	DaemonFC	schestowitz At some point it will be unacceptable to call mentally ill people neurodivergent.
[06:48]	DaemonFC	It's already offensive.
[06:48]	DaemonFC	It's like "special" vs. "Mentally Retarded".
[06:49]	DaemonFC	Eventually special became a nasty thing to call someone too.
[06:49]	DaemonFC	It's always just a matter of several years.
[06:49]	DaemonFC	"Mentally Retarded" used to be "nice".
[06:49]	DaemonFC	Before that it was "Idiot".
[06:50]	DaemonFC	Just a few years ago, I think it was Alabama that removed "Idiots are not allowed to vote" from the State constitution.
[06:50]	DaemonFC	I suppose they realized that the entire State was voting unlawfully.
[06:50]	DaemonFC	MinceR: ^
[06:52]	DaemonFC	There's no telling what they'll call us next time.
[06:52]	DaemonFC	One of the reasons I never had children is because mental illness is genetic.
[06:52]	DaemonFC	It infects.
[06:53]	DaemonFC	It burrows in, it rots people.
[06:53]	DaemonFC	It doesn't spare anyone who is related to my dad's side of the family.
[06:53]	DaemonFC	It's just a matter of how bad you get it.
[06:54]	DaemonFC	Almost everyone on his side of the family has schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Alcoholism, anger management issues, and other various disorders.
[06:55]	DaemonFC	I'm not ashamed to say it happened to me too. I'm not a monster, I am a victim of it. And I refuse to let corporate whitewashing of mental illness make it sound more pleasant, or even somehow desirable.
[06:55]	DaemonFC	It's not.
[06:56]	DaemonFC	It's not to the point where I'm unable to manage my affairs or the system has to get involved somehow and put me somewhere. There are people like that.

[06:57]	DaemonFC	Because it would cost money.
[06:57]	DaemonFC	It's easier to salve the harsh language by calling her Neurodivergent because that doesn't cost anything.
[06:58]	DaemonFC	She has absolutely no idea where she is.
[06:58]	DaemonFC	She's in terrible danger.
[06:58]	DaemonFC	The people that hang out around here are dangerous. They see that, they rape people like that.

[19:48]	janrinok	I had seen you nick on the other site and never put 2 and 2 together. Thanks again for the thumbs up.
