IsambardPrinceMinceR, Planned Parenthood sent me an email saying that using expired condoms increases the chances they'll break.Feb 09 00:07
IsambardPrinceA while back the CDC said don't put them through the dishwasher and reuse them.Feb 09 00:07
IsambardPrinceThey said they say it because people do it.Feb 09 00:07
IsambardPrinceI was like "Who puts used condoms through the dishwasher?Feb 09 00:07
IsambardPrinceThey're not so expensive that you have to resort to doing THAT.Feb 09 00:08
MinceRlolFeb 09 00:08
IsambardPrinceThe more you buy at once, the less they tend to cost individually. It's the same with medication or toilet paper or most things.Feb 09 00:11

IsambardPrinceMinceR, I was wondering why Dredd doesn't ever grab any of the guns the bad guys are using, to make his Lawgiver last longer.Feb 09 00:14
IsambardPrinceHalfway into the movie it says ammunition low.Feb 09 00:14
IsambardPrinceHe's been wasting it on low level criminals.Feb 09 00:15
MinceRmaybe they have a law against itFeb 09 00:16
MinceRit is folly to look for rationality in the behavior of Lawful beings :>Feb 09 00:17
IsambardPrinceYeah, he's a classic Lawful Good character.Feb 09 00:18
IsambardPrinceIt really limits how he can function.Feb 09 00:18
IsambardPrinceMinceR, It's also strange that in such a lawless world that street judges don't carry more ammunition.Feb 09 00:24
IsambardPrinceHe comments that there's so much lawbreaking going on that street judges can only respond to 6% of it at any given time.Feb 09 00:25
IsambardPrinceThat means they probably prioritize the worst.Feb 09 00:25
MinceRor the easiestFeb 09 00:26
IsambardPrinceEspecially given the casualty rate that he mentions, you'd think they'd go out expecting to be cut off from resupply and reinforcements.Feb 09 00:26
MinceRlike our cops, who like to sit in squad cars waiting for their speed trap to collect victimsFeb 09 00:26
MinceRwhile people who ignore following distance cause accidents and hardly anyone knows how to use turn signals, high beams or fog lights properly...Feb 09 00:27
IsambardPrinceMinceR, In real life, Ma-Ma's control over Peach Trees is sort of like what happened in the Cabrini-Green apartments in Chicago.Feb 09 00:28
IsambardPrinceThe gangs had total control, the Chicago Police wouldn't go there.Feb 09 00:28
IsambardPrinceMinceR, I suppose Dredd is depressing in a way.Feb 09 00:43
IsambardPrinceInstead of trying to deal with the causes of crime, the system is still trying to react to it.Feb 09 00:43
IsambardPrinceDredd himself says what's going on in Peach Trees is mass poverty and "96% unemployment", but as a law enforcement officer, he just tries to respond to their crimes, like gang stuff and maniufacturing drugs, which always happens due to concentrated poverty.Feb 09 00:44
MinceRit's depressing in several waysFeb 09 00:45
MinceRgiven that they don't have real courts, their entire operation is a mockery of their alleged idealsFeb 09 00:45
IsambardPrinceDredd embodies competence within a failing system, which is why the setting feels depressing rather than heroic.Feb 09 00:46
MinceRobsession with rules always dooms a societyFeb 09 00:46
IsambardPrinceHe does enforce their laws correctly. He means well. He's incorruptible. But none of that really matters because of structural problems.Feb 09 00:46
MinceRand they ended up with the society they have because they couldn't sustain anything betterFeb 09 00:47
MinceRas we're seeing republics fall apart nowFeb 09 00:47
IsambardPrinceEven if they had 100 times as many street judges and they were all as good as Judge Dredd (which is what the cloning project in the first movie was trying to do), it wouldn't fix the root causes of crime.Feb 09 00:48
IsambardPrinceWell, in the US, Bill Clinton's administration dialed up federal funding of local police departments.Feb 09 00:48
IsambardPrinceHe said "a cop on every street" and he armed them with military weapons and flak jackets.Feb 09 00:48
IsambardPrinceAnd we still have crime.Feb 09 00:48
IsambardPrinceBecause we still have high unemployment and not much of a social welfare system.Feb 09 00:49
IsambardPrinceThe other day a woman went crazy and ran a bunch of people over with her car and went on a stabbing spree.Feb 09 00:50
IsambardPrinceWhen the cops caught her, and asked why, she said "I used to be a good person and it did me no good. I lost my job, I'm homeless now. So I'm not good anymore."Feb 09 00:50
IsambardPrinceMaybe that doesn't justify what she did, but it is a revenge against society rampage.Feb 09 00:51
IsambardPrinceLike, would any of it have happened if she had a job and a home? She said that's what made her snap.Feb 09 00:51
IsambardPrinceI can tell you that being broke and oppressed by the system does sort of make you have crazy thoughts about the people that created and are numb to that system.Feb 09 00:52
IsambardPrinceI mean, America is the system that produced a system where any crazy person can buy a handgun without delay and for under $200, but access to a psychiatrist is $400 a visit and perhaps thousands of dollars a month in medication.Feb 09 00:54
*includeals has quit (Quit: ZNC - https://znc.in)Feb 09 00:55
IsambardPrinceThey'll run you out of your apartment with $1600 rents and they'll starve you by doubling the price of food in 5 years and pouring bleach on the stuff that goes bad.Feb 09 00:55
*includeals (~includeal@2001:8a0:e95a:4e00::1c47) has joined #techrightsFeb 09 00:55
IsambardPrinceBut then they give you a gun and no mental health care.Feb 09 00:56
IsambardPrinceOne of the corrupt judges in the movie says he's been on the street for 20 years and the city is just a meat grinder. People go in one end and meat comes out the other, and all the system does is turn the handle.Feb 09 00:58
IsambardPrinceSounds familiar.Feb 09 00:59
MinceRwell, firearms are not that expensive to mass produceFeb 09 01:05

IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR2], That person who claimed to work for American Express (Canada) sort of confirmed what I thought all along.Feb 09 17:39
IsambardPrinceThey said that if you have a long history of paying in full they'll believe you when you say what your income is, or even extend credit that your income does not justify.Feb 09 17:39
IsambardPrinceI always said "Nobody asks questions when your credit score is great."Feb 09 17:40
IsambardPrinceBut eventually this means that you can extend yourself too far and fall over.Feb 09 17:40
IsambardPrinceWhen your FICO score is over 800, they'll let you sign a loan on a brand new car without checking your income.Feb 09 17:41
IsambardPrinceYou can drive off with a new car and not be able to make a single payment.Feb 09 17:41
IsambardPrinceThey'll find it and repossess it eventually, but people manage to do this.Feb 09 17:41
IsambardPrinceMy grandparents would have said "that person got too big for his britches".Feb 09 17:42
IsambardPrinceIf I had been a smarter person, I would have just moved out on John even if that had meant abandoning all of my stuff that I lost anyway. I would have given my cats to my mother. I would have ignored Mandy.Feb 09 17:44
IsambardPrinceI would have been better off financially than I am now had I just driven the Kia to Texas so I wouldn't freeze in the back of it that winter and camped in the back of the car.Feb 09 17:44
IsambardPrinceI've learned some painful lessons, including that when someone seems sweet and looks relatively pathetic and harmless, eventually they'll turn on you and hurt you badly when you've made them stronger.Feb 09 17:46
IsambardPrinceHe's a parasite. Like all parasites, they grow stronger as their host grows weaker.Feb 09 17:47
IsambardPrinceNow all we have left are threats. "If you do this, I'll do that."Feb 09 17:48
IsambardPrinceHe said "I'll switch my deposits over to my own bank account and you won't have any money."Feb 09 17:48
IsambardPrinceI said, "Then there won't be any money to pay YOUR credit cards. I'll have to leave and that means that the electricity and cable internet will be shut off, and the power company won't let you hook up electricity so you won't be able to live here either.Feb 09 17:49
IsambardPrinceschestowitz[TR2] is absolutely right.Feb 09 17:51
IsambardPrinceMandy is insane. He's narcissistic. He suddenly believes that EVERYTHING is his, including my old car.Feb 09 17:52
IsambardPrinceHe wants to leave me nothing and he believes that he can even steal my Social Security check.Feb 09 17:52

IsambardPrinceHe has no idea how a divorce works under modern laws or that nobody cares what happens. He keeps claiming that he's saved a book of "blackmail" about me that he thinks someone is going to let him narrate to them in a no fault divorce.Feb 09 17:53
IsambardPrinceFor some reason he thinks that stealing an old car registration that expires for a car that's worth maybe hundreds of dollars means he owns it or something.Feb 09 17:55
IsambardPrince*expiredFeb 09 17:55
IsambardPrinceI talked to representation about this already, and she told me that gives him no rights whatsoever, and that even if he stole my car title and tried to change it over to himself, I could pursue felony charges against him. And I will if he does.Feb 09 17:56
IsambardPrinceStealing a car of any value is automatically a felony.Feb 09 17:57
IsambardPrinceIt's actually worse if it's title fraud because that's a separate charge.Feb 09 17:57
IsambardPrinceWhile he's fucking around on an iPhone not realizing that he's gonna have 99 problems when I'm gone, including that something's wrong with the power company and they won't let him turn the electric on...Feb 09 18:07
IsambardPrinceI'm developing an exit strategy.Feb 09 18:07
IsambardPrinceHe's not smart. The problem with idiots is they all think they're smarter than you. Like that guy that crashed into my car and was mouthing off about all the things he planned to do to me while the fucking police were writing me a ticket that I beat later.Feb 09 18:08
IsambardPrinceNarcissists all have the same problem. They can't fathom what it's like to be you because they don't care about you, even when they should. They believe that there's no higher authority than themselves even when they're a nobody, and that any idea that happens to pop into their head is the law.Feb 09 18:10

IsambardPrinceThe inability to think like someone else does is a major impediment.Feb 09 18:13
IsambardPrinceMinceR, Remember when Teal'c was talking about why the Goa'uld were losing the war against Earth even though they were a thousand years ahead of humans technologically?Feb 09 18:14
IsambardPrinceThey don't think strategically. They don't change tactics that aren't working.Feb 09 18:14
IsambardPrinceTheir battle tactics say that when you're losing an army, you just throw the rest of your army at it rather than thinking about what's causing your losses.Feb 09 18:14

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.yahoo.com | Bhad Bhabie Sued For Nearly $700K By American ExpressFeb 09 18:18
IsambardPrinceMinceR, They issued an unlimited credit line Centurion card to an InstaTHOT.Feb 09 18:18
IsambardPrinceWhat did they think would happen?Feb 09 18:18
MinceRbankruptcy?Feb 09 18:19
IsambardPrinceI'm sure they'll lose the entire $700,000.Feb 09 18:19
IsambardPrinceShe probably didn't spend it on bankable assets that they can easily recover.Feb 09 18:19
IsambardPrinceMinceR, Bankruptcy won't save her.Feb 09 18:19
MinceRmaybe AmEx will get some advertising out of itFeb 09 18:20
MinceRmaybe it's worth the $700k for themFeb 09 18:20
IsambardPrinceThe Bankruptcy Code says that luxury purchases are civil fraud.Feb 09 18:20
IsambardPrinceAnd cannot be discharged.Feb 09 18:20
MinceRhow do they define luxury?Feb 09 18:20
IsambardPrinceI think it's any purchase over $600 is considered presumed fraud.Feb 09 18:20
IsambardPrinceSo AmEx could dispute any purchases over that amount and ask that they be excluded from the bankruptcy discharge.Feb 09 18:21
IsambardPrinceThe only rebuttal that they'll consider is if it was for housing, medicine, food....Feb 09 18:21
IsambardPrinceThings like that.Feb 09 18:21
IsambardPrinceSo if you can say "I had to pay my rent or I'd get thrown out of my apartment." then that purchase might not be civil fraud.Feb 09 18:22
IsambardPrinceBecause being thrown out of your home and only having a credit card to pay your rent with is not a luxury purchase.Feb 09 18:22
IsambardPrinceBut American Express isn't just the bank. They're the card network.Feb 09 18:23

IsambardPrinceThey get detailed information about everything you buy from the merchant.Feb 09 18:23
IsambardPrinceData that other banks might not automatically have.Feb 09 18:23
IsambardPrinceOther banks might glance over your statements and go "Well, he went to Jared." (the jewelry store)Feb 09 18:23
IsambardPrinceBut AmEx knows every single thing you buy when you slide your AmEx card.Feb 09 18:24
IsambardPrinceOther banks could get your Level 3 purchasing data from the network but it's often not worth it for normal credit card limits.Feb 09 18:24
MinceRdoesn't sound like a benefitFeb 09 18:24
IsambardPrinceIt's cheaper to write off a $10,000 credit card than to go nitpicking.Feb 09 18:24
IsambardPrinceI spoke with Linda the bankruptcy lawyer about how the banks look at things.Feb 09 18:25
IsambardPrinceShe told me that during the 341 meeting almost never does a creditor actually show up.Feb 09 18:25
IsambardPrinceThere's usually nothing to gain from it.Feb 09 18:25
IsambardPrinceThey might show up if you're discharging a car loan and you're hiding the car or something.Feb 09 18:25
IsambardPrinceThings like that.Feb 09 18:25

IsambardPrinceThe appraisal gave him another month.Feb 09 18:27
IsambardPrinceIt didn't appraise for much because after he dropped the car insurance he hit a deer and nobody ever fixed the car.Feb 09 18:27
IsambardPrinceSo he told them he didn't want the car.Feb 09 18:27
IsambardPrinceHe said they gave up trying to get it back aggressively after that.Feb 09 18:27
IsambardPrinceHis bankruptcy eventually discharged and he started hiding the car by parking it at an abandoned roller skating rink. He took all his stuff out and eventually it just wasn't there one day.Feb 09 18:28
