MinceR:)Apr 09 00:01
MinceRkingoffrance: state is an organization for the oppression of people; nation is an excuse to unite a bunch of people to make them gang up on another bunch of people for the benefit of the former group's oppressorsApr 09 00:01
MinceRkingoffrance: people is the plural of personApr 09 00:01
HMS don't agree with any their EULA i just press nextApr 09 00:01
kingoffrancesure, so how does abolish "states" or "nations" get rid of that?  people will just do that againApr 09 00:02
kingoffranceas they did the first timeApr 09 00:02
kingoffranceit is just a change of people, nothing moreApr 09 00:02
kingoffrance*change of oppressorsApr 09 00:02
MinceRpeople will need to stop believing that it is right for some people to own/rule other peopleApr 09 00:03
MinceRthat notion has to goApr 09 00:03
kingoffrancethere goes parenthoodApr 09 00:03
MinceRdo parents own someone?Apr 09 00:03
kingoffrancewho is responsible for children?Apr 09 00:03
MinceRif that is what parenthood means, then yes, parenthood needs to go tooApr 09 00:03
MinceRit's shared responsibilityApr 09 00:03
XRevan86MinceR: That's a bit of an overkill.Apr 09 00:03
kingoffranceoh, so shared ownershipApr 09 00:03
MinceRno, that's not ownershipApr 09 00:03
kingoffrancebecause its shared?Apr 09 00:04
MinceRthe only one who should own a particular person is that personApr 09 00:04
HMSshared responsibilityApr 09 00:04
kingoffranceso where is the line between own and responsibility?Apr 09 00:04
HMSthat what MinceR typedApr 09 00:04
kingoffranceyes, and its nonsenseApr 09 00:04
kingoffranceresponsibility is based on ownershipApr 09 00:04
MinceRit's a pretty thick lineApr 09 00:05
MinceRno, it is notApr 09 00:05
kingoffranceoh really?  Apr 09 00:05
XRevan86I for one would rather focus on dictators than on parenthood.Apr 09 00:05
MinceRso would iApr 09 00:06
MinceRbut kingoffrance wants to sire children and own themApr 09 00:06
kingoffrance"the only one who should own a particular person is that person"  so i pop out 20 kids and they all grow up murderers.  where is the responsiblity here? who is resposnible?Apr 09 00:06
DaemonFCOne way to play through Fallout games is by making your character really stupid. It frees up points to use on other attributes and leads to funny dialog.Apr 09 00:06
MinceRbeing responsible for the wellbeing of your kids is not the same as being entitled to tell your kids what to do 24/7, until they dieApr 09 00:06
kingoffrancenoone claimed thatApr 09 00:07
XRevan86Dictators. Parents. Fallout.Apr 09 00:07
kingoffrancelolApr 09 00:07
MinceRthat's what owning people meansApr 09 00:07
kingoffrancethats what you caricature meansApr 09 00:07
MinceRit's slaveryApr 09 00:07
DaemonFCMinceR, I see Orban's party got two-thirds of the seats with about half the vote.Apr 09 00:07
HMSbetter lucky then smartApr 09 00:07
DaemonFCDemocracy!Apr 09 00:07
MinceRbut yeah, i know that slavery is "hip" and "cool" and "modern" and "edgy" and "based" nowApr 09 00:07
DaemonFCI'd recognize it anywhere!Apr 09 00:07
XRevan86DaemonFC: Oh, did they learn from Russia?Apr 09 00:07
MinceRDaemonFC: yeah, they wrote the rules so it does thatApr 09 00:08
DaemonFCOr Indiana.Apr 09 00:08
kingoffranceif responsibility is not based on ownership, then how is responsibility distributed?Apr 09 00:08
XRevan86MinceR: So, I have a question :)Apr 09 00:08
MinceRDaemonFC: last time they got 2/3 of the seats with something like 48.5% of the votesApr 09 00:08
MinceRso they didn't even have a majority and their rules turned it into a supermajorityApr 09 00:08
DaemonFCWell, they set a 5% threshold to get any seats at all.Apr 09 00:08
kingoffranceyour scheme has implicit "someone owns everything and allocates responsibility"Apr 09 00:08
MinceRkingoffrance: typically both parents and the child itself would be responsible for the childApr 09 00:08
kingoffrancebut thats not ownership?Apr 09 00:09
DaemonFCSo a bunch of minor parties can come along ang get tens of thousands of votes and no seats.Apr 09 00:09
MinceRno, my scheme has implicit "everyone owns themselves"Apr 09 00:09
DaemonFCThat helps a bit.Apr 09 00:09
MinceRs/im/ex/Apr 09 00:09
XRevan86MinceR: Does Hungary have a system where when a small party doesn't have enough of a percentage their percentage will be shared between the passing parties relative to their percentages?Apr 09 00:09
MinceRXRevan86: something like thatApr 09 00:09
XRevan86MinceR: Learnt from the best.Apr 09 00:09
MinceRthis percentage threshold bullshit seems to be popularApr 09 00:09
kingoffrancelets ask this then: do people own what they create?Apr 09 00:10
DaemonFCOh it's even better in some US states.Apr 09 00:10
XRevan86That's one of the mechanisms that United Russia used to dominate.Apr 09 00:10
kingoffrancebecause its either parents made a child or "god" didApr 09 00:10
DaemonFCTo maintain ballot access, you have to get enough votes in the previous election.Apr 09 00:10
DaemonFCOr your party reverts to "write in" candidates.Apr 09 00:10
MinceRkingoffrance: reproduction is not creationApr 09 00:10
MinceRkingoffrance: seriously, it's not a challenging thing to doApr 09 00:10
XRevan86MinceR: I predict Hungary a great future if it ever decides to secede.Apr 09 00:10
MinceReven bacteria can do itApr 09 00:10
MinceRhell, even fideath voters can do itApr 09 00:10
DaemonFCThe illusion that someone who isn't a Democrat or Republican could win is important.Apr 09 00:11
MinceRXRevan86: i don't see much of a future for hungaryApr 09 00:11
kingoffrancesure, we are estabilish title/ownership -- so "God" owns everything in your system, only they can "create" anythingApr 09 00:11
XRevan86MinceR: A special military operation to de-Nazi-fy Finland maybe.Apr 09 00:11
MinceRespecially if orban keeps supporting putlerApr 09 00:11
DaemonFCIt lets them say you have options and third party candidates just lose because nobody likes them.Apr 09 00:11

MinceRkingoffrance: there is no "God" in my systemApr 09 00:11
MinceRactual property can be owned by whoeverApr 09 00:12
DaemonFCLisa Murkowski was the first Senator to win a seat in a write in campaign in almost a century after the Republicans rigged the system to primary her.Apr 09 00:12
MinceRpeople can be owned by themselves and nobody elseApr 09 00:12
MinceRPII can be owned the people it's aboutApr 09 00:12
kingoffranceok, what rights do people have? and are those property they own or not?Apr 09 00:12
MinceRother information can't be ownedApr 09 00:12
kingoffrancesince there is no state, who allocates "rights"Apr 09 00:12
DaemonFCThen instead of taking revenge by just declaring she was an Independent Senator and refusing to vote them into the majority, she acted like nothing had happened and rejoined them.Apr 09 00:12
MinceRyou don't need a state to have rightsApr 09 00:12
kingoffrancesure, but didnt answer my questionApr 09 00:13
MinceRthis has been discussed to great depth alreadyApr 09 00:13
MinceRi can't give you an exhaustive list of human rightsApr 09 00:13
kingoffranceok, so a gang of oppressors decided what "rights" people have, same as prior system, but this one is not a "state"Apr 09 00:13
DaemonFCMinceR, I'd just become an Independent Senator and refuse to vote for Leadership for the rest of the time I was in there.Apr 09 00:13
kingoffranceits just bait and switch word gamesApr 09 00:13
MinceRkingoffrance: pretty sure it was not a gang of oppressorsApr 09 00:14
kingoffrancetheres no state, so who decides who is an "oppressor" or not?Apr 09 00:14
DaemonFCThey don't want her there because she votes for the Democrat bills about 40% of the time.Apr 09 00:14
MinceRhow would having a state help decide that anyway?Apr 09 00:14
DaemonFCThe state has to pass laws saying what you can do.Apr 09 00:15
kingoffranceit just sounds like a theocracy. only "god" can create things (but we wont call it "god").   some random group of random people decide what rights you have, but you cant see themApr 09 00:15
DaemonFCThat way you have rights.Apr 09 00:15
DaemonFCHow would you have those rights if there wasn't anything stopping you in the first place?Apr 09 00:15
DaemonFCFor God's sake, get some perspective, man.Apr 09 00:15
MinceRkingoffrance: you're the one going on about "god"Apr 09 00:16
DaemonFCWe need the state to give us rights it took away to begin with.Apr 09 00:16
kingoffranceMinceR, youre the one who said people cannot create anythingApr 09 00:16
MinceRand how would you even see rights?Apr 09 00:16
MinceRno, i didn't say thatApr 09 00:16
MinceRi said that reproduction isn't creationApr 09 00:16
*alextee has quit (Quit: Leaving)Apr 09 00:16

mateyeven cpu features designed for graphics processing?Apr 09 03:50
activelowdepends, not sure what the problem would be; with regards to memory bandwidth, the cortex a53 yields ~4GiB/s, which is good enough for a fast and efficient framebufferApr 09 03:50
mateyi dont like gpus because they tend to be the most proprietary hardware in almost everythingApr 09 03:50
mateyim not a fan of that.Apr 09 03:51
activelowthe entire software-stack for GPU is riggedApr 09 03:51
mateyright youve explained that, its very interestingApr 09 03:51
activelowcomplicated, bloated, a gigantic dependency graph, down from hardware level, kernel, libraries, requirement of LLVM/Clang compilerApr 09 03:52
mateybut even so it seems like moving from fpu and simd to gpu in and of itself isnt a stupid ideaApr 09 03:52
mateythe way they did it at least, seems dirtyApr 09 03:52

kingoffrancehe suggested a stable ISA for a stable SOC    "The Thirty Million Line Problem"         so, anyone could do whatever GPU inside there they want, just present a consistent interfaceApr 09 03:53

techrights-newsMany companies exist in no form other than paper, more so with "IT" companies which outsourced themselves to "the clown"; they don't have any possessions, not even servers!!Apr 09 03:53
kingoffrancehe roughly implies it is because people wanted customizable/flexible hardware (cards)Apr 09 03:53
activelowwell, the cortex-a53, with which i removed and deactivated all GPU "acceleration", requires less than 5wattsApr 09 03:54

techrights-newsCompanies "moving to the clown" = outsourcing and LIQUIDATINGApr 09 03:54
activelowand it got no dedicated GPU memory anyway, and had to share the the memory bandwidth with main CPU;Apr 09 03:54
kingoffrance^ yes, this was AGP IIRCApr 09 03:55
activelowone issue remaining could be real-time video-encoding; although even this should be possible for DVD/PAL resolution, implemented in software, executed on main CPUApr 09 03:55

activelowwith the cortex-a53 and ARM NEON simd, software-rendering is fast enough, for yq2, prboom - 5wattsApr 09 03:56

immibisit's something along the lines of: low interest rates make it easier for the ownership class to get money to pay for people to do work that may or may not be useful. The more available money is, the further down the barrel is scraped.Apr 09 11:15

DaemonFCAriadne, I thought about just keeping the Impala around as sort of a spare car for a while after I get the Buick.Apr 09 13:35
DaemonFCOther than the electrical glitch that happens maybe once or twice a year for a few seconds, it's not really doing anything wrong.Apr 09 13:35

DaemonFCI asked mom why she got rid of that red 1968 Buick with the V8 and she said my dad wouldn't let her have any of her own money so she couldn't even afford to get the license plates renewed.Apr 09 13:36
DaemonFCschestowitz-TR, All this old stuff runs for damned near forever if you just keep it serviced.Apr 09 13:37
DaemonFCYou'll absolutely never see that again.Apr 09 13:37
DaemonFCNewer machines are trash.Apr 09 13:37
DaemonFCThat mechanic is right. The engines GM replaced the 3800 V6 with are trash trash trash.Apr 09 13:39
DaemonFCMom's sounds like there's a spun bearing in there rattling around.Apr 09 13:39
DaemonFCIt only has 140,000 miles on it!Apr 09 13:39
DaemonFCThat's half of the 2003's and the 2003 is purring like a kitten.Apr 09 13:39
DaemonFCThe only reason GM could have for the absolute travesty that are the 3.6 and 3.5 V6 engines are that they're so unreliable that you'll be back to buy a new car, because apparently a lot of people like her get burned over and over and never learn a damned thing.Apr 09 13:41
DaemonFCLike they're being cheated and they should just find the latest model year that still worked okay and drive that.Apr 09 13:41
DaemonFCIt's almost never a major part of the 3800 V6 that needs attention, especially the later ones (Series III) with the improved connecting rods.Apr 09 13:42
DaemonFCIt's always some stupid peripheral part like a sensor or EGR valve or a gasket maybe.Apr 09 13:42
DaemonFCIt's almost never the engine. Just technically the engine.Apr 09 13:43
DaemonFCAluminum, which is in the newer engines, doesn't belong anywhere near an engine.Apr 09 13:43
DaemonFCIt's an engine designed by politicians in California that's all aluminum.Apr 09 13:43
DaemonFCIt's not a man's engine.Apr 09 13:44
DaemonFCIt's not an engine that says "I'm an engine! Give me your best shot! I can take it!".Apr 09 13:44
DaemonFCIt's some wimpy liberal engine.Apr 09 13:44

DaemonFCAnother nice thing you find out about with tiny cars is that when the mechanic has to disassemble half the piece of shit to replace an alternator or something, you pay him for another 2-3 hours.Apr 09 13:49
DaemonFCSo you never save enough money on a new car for any improvement in gas mileage.Apr 09 13:49
DaemonFCYou just pay in unreliability and repair costs, and then way too soon, another car.Apr 09 13:49
DaemonFCschestowitz-TR, It's not just Apple.Apr 09 13:50
DaemonFCIt's a disposable society where "men" can't even change an air filter or a spark plug.Apr 09 13:51
DaemonFCSpark plugs aren't even difficult anymore usually. Many times, you don't even need a gap tool anymore. You just remove the old ones, put the new ones in.Apr 09 13:52
DaemonFCAriadne, I did learn something though.Apr 09 13:52
WanderleiNwhy would you want to do that?Apr 09 13:52
DaemonFCDon't put Iridium spark plugs in the 3800 V6 if you want your old coil packs to work much longer.Apr 09 13:53
DaemonFCThose forums I was reading are right. I did it, and it finished off the original coil packs. I had to replace them all.Apr 09 13:53
DaemonFCBut it was only like $90 to do that.Apr 09 13:53
DaemonFC<WanderleiN> why would you want to do that?Apr 09 13:54
DaemonFCDo some jobs yourself?Apr 09 13:54
DaemonFCBecause when you see a shop saying $100 to change an engine air filter, and you don't want to pay $100 to change an engine air filter when you can do it in 5 minutes with a $8 filter and a screwdriver.Apr 09 13:54
DaemonFCI had to replace the cabin air filter on the 2003 as well, and that's not difficult. It had never been done though.Apr 09 13:55
DaemonFCI found a bunch of seed pods and twigs from trees, three old cigarette butts, and a mound of dirt on top of the old one. I had to shove a vacuum cleaner into it before I took it out so I wouldn't drop any onto the blower motor.Apr 09 13:56
WanderleiNplatinum spark plugs aree the bestApr 09 13:56
DaemonFCYeah, double platinums.Apr 09 13:57
DaemonFCThe Crown Victoria liked them.Apr 09 13:57
DaemonFCIridiums last longer, but they put too much resistance on the ignition system.Apr 09 13:57
WanderleiNwho?Apr 09 13:57
DaemonFCYou can risk frying the ignition control module and the coil packs.Apr 09 13:57
DaemonFCThey do run so hot that it's hard to foul them up with carbon deposits though.Apr 09 13:58
DaemonFCSo they're marketed as "self-cleaning".Apr 09 13:58
*ziraffep (~ziraffep@v3dbj67t2h8z2.irc) has joined #techrightsApr 09 13:58
DaemonFCHonestly, I'm not sure whether it's better to just leave those alone, because the benefit is you'll never have to change your spark plugs again, but the downside is that they can cause failure that travels up the ignition system.Apr 09 13:59
DaemonFCIt's cheaper to just plan on replacing the platinum plugs once more during the life of the car than it is to replace an ignition control module and all of your coil packs.Apr 09 14:00
DaemonFCManufacturers are putting iridium plugs on as OE, because they want it to last 100,000 trouble-free miles or so and then start acting up after you sell it.Apr 09 14:00
WanderleiNthey shoot down a mig FulcrumApr 09 14:01
DaemonFCIf the car came with Platinum plugs, I'd leave it alone until the odometer reaches about 125,000 miles.Apr 09 14:02
DaemonFCUnless you have a reason, like one fouls up, then you replace all of them.Apr 09 14:02
DaemonFCUnless it has a turbocharger.Apr 09 14:02
DaemonFCThen you want to do it every 50,000 miles or so or else it's going to start losing performance and pinging.Apr 09 14:03

immibisyou know, a black person asked me today if I had weed (apparently I just look like that). should he have been given the electric chair?Apr 09 14:15
DaemonFCYou need to watch for leaking intake gaskets, oil drippage through the pan gasket, that sort of thing.Apr 09 14:15
immibisschestowitz-TR: I think preventing people of a certain race from reproducing is also considered genocideApr 09 14:15
DaemonFCAs long as you watch your fluid levels, and don't just ask someone at the shop to keep an eye on it, you should be okay.Apr 09 14:16
immibisDaemonFC: You really don't trust the state, at all, and yet you think the state should determine who's allowed to reproduce?Apr 09 14:16
DaemonFCWhen the intake gaskets start leaking coolant, it's usually a drip leak. As long as you keep a spare bottle of 50/50 in the trunk you can just top it off and drive back home and get into the shop that week.Apr 09 14:16
DaemonFC<immibis> DaemonFC: You really don't trust the state, at all, and yet you think the state should determine who's allowed to reproduce?Apr 09 14:17

immibisand "men"Apr 09 14:19
immibisthe masculinity thing is far-rightApr 09 14:19
DaemonFCThey're just really weak engines that can't stand up to basic wear and tear, and they're designed by wimpy California liberals who want the stupid thing to get 1 mpg more gas mileage.Apr 09 14:19
DaemonFCAnd take away 2/3rds of the service life of the engine to get it.Apr 09 14:19
immibisaluminium is also cheaper than steel, isn't it?Apr 09 14:20
immibisoh no, it's notApr 09 14:20
DaemonFCWe switched from aluminum to cast iron in a factory I worked at.Apr 09 14:20
immibisDaemonFC: You want to begin fixing this problem by having the state prevent undesirables from reproducingApr 09 14:20
DaemonFCBecause we were having too many parts come back under warranty for the aluminum warping under heat.Apr 09 14:20
DaemonFCAnd so we put the cast iron parts in and our return rate fell to less than 1/10th of what it was with the aluminum.Apr 09 14:21
kingoffranceenlightenment was the people are the state. so noone is doing that anymoreApr 09 14:21
immibismaybe don't make parts out of aluminium that need to withstand heat without warping. making the parts out of aluminium that don't need to do that, however, is based.Apr 09 14:21
immibismaterial selection is a thingApr 09 14:21
DaemonFCWell, the first thing to go to shit was the engine's block heads.Apr 09 14:21
immibissome parts need to resist heat, other parts don't but are useful if lighter-weightApr 09 14:21
DaemonFCThey did aluminum heads and a cast iron block.Apr 09 14:22
DaemonFCAnd then head gasket failure almost always meant warped block heads too.Apr 09 14:22
immibisthat's basically just what apple did with iphonesApr 09 14:22
DaemonFCWhich meant rebuilding the top of the engine when the gasket failed and the overheat happened.Apr 09 14:22
DaemonFCThen they replaced the entire block with aluminum.Apr 09 14:22
DaemonFCNow if it overheats, what you usually do is buy a used engine and hope it doesn't happen again to that one.Apr 09 14:22

DaemonFCBut Ford's engineers went back and said you could do it on anything as old as the 1992 model year for that engine.Apr 09 14:24
DaemonFCBut it would destroy the old 5 liter V8 on the 1991 and older.Apr 09 14:24
DaemonFC0w20 is not appropriate for the Buick 3800 V6.Apr 09 14:24
DaemonFCI run it on 0w30 and it works fine.Apr 09 14:24

immibisDaemonFC: have you considered driving a human-sized quadcopter instead of a car?Apr 09 14:27
DaemonFCOld people think you need to change your oil all the time.Apr 09 14:27
DaemonFCIf you use a proper synthetic oil and a good filter, and you don't drive the car more than 7,500 miles per year, you should only need one oil change a year or so.Apr 09 14:27
immibisisn't once a year basically all the time?Apr 09 14:27
DaemonFCPeople are wasting billions and billions of dollars on excessive oil changes.Apr 09 14:28
immibishow often do most people change it?Apr 09 14:28
immibisif not once a year or so?Apr 09 14:28
DaemonFCNot to mention what happens to all of that used motor oil. It goes to a recycling facility, but....that's not totally efficient and consumes energy to recycle it.Apr 09 14:28

DaemonFC"To most people, social acceptance is one of the most important driving forces of their lives. As such, social media discussion sites are mainly dominated by people who follow hype and trends. They cannot and do not think independently, and they are afraid of going against the current. If you use your brain and don't follow the hive mind, you will definitely not be liked.Apr 09 15:05
DaemonFCPeople who have nothing better to do than to spend most of their time on these places generally feel bad about themselves. They spend their time at these places in order to feel better, which they do by bullying, downvoting, upvoting, commenting, etc. It's actually one of the very few ways a hollow person can feel good about himself/herself.Apr 09 15:05
DaemonFCVoting systems on social media don't work. While downvotes should ideally be used to silence the completely irrelevant and useless comments, it is instead used to remove dissenting views and views that goes against the popular opinion. This leads to a form of radicalization where people are only ever exposed to the popular opinions because people with conflicting views eventually stop wasting their time on these platforms."Apr 09 15:05

kingoffrancehe's imaging there is some "law" besides popularity.  religious nutcase </sarcasm>Apr 09 15:08
kingoffrance*imaginingApr 09 15:08
DaemonFCThen schestowitz-TR is mad when I agree with MinceR that most humans are worse than net neutral and we'd be better off without covering the Earth in 7 layers of them.Apr 09 15:08
DaemonFCWhich is what MinceR has said repeatedly.Apr 09 15:08
DaemonFCThe politicians don't mind having an army of dumbed down voters who all depend on 47 different types of welfare and 90% of that was entirely their own fault.Apr 09 15:09
DaemonFCThe more hoops they can make you jump through to beg for your own tax money back, the better!Apr 09 15:10
DaemonFCBut people who go further and have kids and actually cost taxpayers something more than what they themselves paid in are by far the most corrosive part of the equation.Apr 09 15:11
schestowitz-TR[15:07] <DaemonFC> Chimpanzees at the zoo throwing poop at each other for mating rights with the female is essentially what most humans boil down to.Apr 09 15:12

DaemonFCAnd then the female is loving every minute of it because she's already got backup plans for when she gets tired of the winner of the poop throwing contest.Apr 09 15:13
DaemonFCSee, just like humans.Apr 09 15:13
DaemonFCYou add some F-350 Super Duty trucks and some dirty book stores on top of the poop throwing, you have humans.Apr 09 15:14
DaemonFCMaybe a machine gun and a missile launcher here and there.Apr 09 15:16

schestowitz-TRSickNNApr 09 15:17
DaemonFCBut it all boils down to the poop throwing and mating rights in the end.Apr 09 15:17
DaemonFCNow you know how I see people and society in general.Apr 09 15:17
immibisDaemonFC: you are gay and yet you dislike minorities?Apr 09 15:18
DaemonFCAll minorities like each other. Like Jews and Muslims.Apr 09 15:18
DaemonFCThe Muslims are a minority, and they're famous for liking gays.Apr 09 15:18
immibisdo you think muslims should dislike gays?Apr 09 15:19
DaemonFCWhich means that, logically, I have to reciprocate for the milk of human kindness flowing from the Muslim world towards gay people.Apr 09 15:19
DaemonFC<immibis> do you think muslims should dislike gays?Apr 09 15:19
immibisif you don't think muslims should dislike gays then why do you think gays shold dislike muslims, what's the asymmetry there?Apr 09 15:19
DaemonFCI don't think that anyone is born knowing how to hate. The religion spreads through child abuse.Apr 09 15:19
immibisand if you do think muslims should dislike gays then why is that?Apr 09 15:19
DaemonFCThat one especially.Apr 09 15:19
DaemonFCAt least mainstream Christianity doesn't specifically condone fucking 12 year olds after you cut off part of their genitals and calling them your "wives".Apr 09 15:20
DaemonFCMuslims are known for that too. They're sick in the head. Worse than the worst Catholic priests.Apr 09 15:20
DaemonFCAnd we can't say that because while we have all of these "Death to America" mosques with the child fucking, it's not WOKE to say what they are doing in there.Apr 09 15:21
DaemonFCBut everyone knows it. And in their own country they just murder gay people and laugh about it and it's the state doing it too or turning a blind eye to it.Apr 09 15:21
DaemonFCBill Maher got a lot of hate from the WOKE crowd.Apr 09 15:22
DaemonFCPeople like those California nutcases genuinely don't want to "get" it, how "tolerating" Muslims isn't compatible with a free country where people can be gay.Apr 09 15:23
DaemonFCThere is no Muslim country where people have basic human rights, and most of them don't have even the trappings of a basic democracy or elections.Apr 09 15:23
DaemonFC<immibis> and if you do think muslims should dislike gays then why is that?Apr 09 15:24
DaemonFCI think they should stop being Muslims and go get their head examined.Apr 09 15:24
DaemonFCI'd say that about people in any religion though.Apr 09 15:24
DaemonFCWhen people are religious then they get an entitlement mentality that goes along with it.Apr 09 15:25
DaemonFCHow fucking arrogant are you anyway, that you think you're better than someone and that only your religion is right just becuase your two dumbass parents bumped uglies and that's all you ever got to hear about it and so that's what you are now. Apr 09 15:25
DaemonFCIt's not even "Your religion." most likely, unless you're one of the few converts.Apr 09 15:25
DaemonFCIt was IMPOSED on you before you were able to think.Apr 09 15:26
DaemonFCAnd Dawkins says it, not quite like that, in The God Delusion.Apr 09 15:26
DaemonFCThat it's sad that people accept it when other people say "That Muslim child." or "That Christian child.".Apr 09 15:27
DaemonFCYou're a brand new mind. You don't have a bullshit filter yet. It hasn't even occurred to you that your parents messed up a lot of things, don't plan to have you, and are going to die someday.Apr 09 15:28
DaemonFCSo most of the time, right, the kids believe anything their parents say. Even if it's crazy!Apr 09 15:28
DaemonFCWhen I was 4 years old, I went over to my grandmother's house (my dad's mom) and then I came out and asked mom why there was a monster guarding the outlets and why grandma said don't flush the toilet because it's broken and why she said there was a mean dog out in the back yard so don't go there.Apr 09 15:29
DaemonFCAnd she was making all of that up.Apr 09 15:29
DaemonFCShe didn't want to explain that you could get hurt very badly by electricity or that she just didn't want to pay the water bill or keep an eye on you if you went to play in the back yard.Apr 09 15:30
DaemonFCSo, you know, then it started to dawn on me, once mom let it slip, that if your grandparents make things up because they just don't want to deal with you, maybe your parents do too.Apr 09 15:31
DaemonFCAnd I always felt particularly "wrong" in church.Apr 09 15:32
DaemonFCLike the bible, after that, was an entire book of "There's a monster guarding the electrical outlets, the toilet is broken, and there's a vicious dog in the yard.".Apr 09 15:32
DaemonFCBy the time I was about 7 I was chronically depressed. I realized that whether it was that day, 10 years, or 90 years away, there'd be an end to me and that there'd be nothing more, and so what's the point?Apr 09 15:33
DaemonFCAnd I think it was 6 or 7, anyway. They started taking me to a child psychiatrist at that point.Apr 09 15:34
DaemonFCThey diagnosed the inability to focus and the lack of interest in anything as "Attention Deficit Disorder".Apr 09 15:34
DaemonFCAnd there was just constant turmoil in the house. Parents fighting all the time, dad calling mom "fucking bitch" the horrible stench of dad's cigarettes. We'd get pets and then they'd do something mom didn't like and so they "went to live on a farm". She didn't want to walk one of them and let it out without a leash and it got hit and killed by a car.Apr 09 15:36
DaemonFCSo that really helped the depression.Apr 09 15:36
DaemonFCGetting to bury my dead dog in the back yard when I was 8 because mom didn't want to walk it while I was away.Apr 09 15:36
DaemonFCSo, very young age, thanks to some godawful parenting, "There is no God.".Apr 09 15:37
DaemonFCYou know, adults are supposed to protect children from dealing with trauma, and my parents didn't give a shit.Apr 09 15:38
DaemonFC"Here's a shovel. Go bury your dog."Apr 09 15:38
DaemonFC"We'll get divorced in 6 years and blame you for that too!"Apr 09 15:38
DaemonFCSo, what schestowitz-TR doesn't get I guess, and I think he doesn't have kids either....Apr 09 15:39
MinceR09 160443 < WanderleiN> ircz.de is a russian supporters siteApr 09 15:39
MinceR[citation needed]Apr 09 15:39
DaemonFCIs that I'd fucking kill myself before I did as horrible a job as my parents did. Plus, I barely have enough money to keep this house going.Apr 09 15:39
DaemonFCI have pets for a good long time, you know.Apr 09 15:40
DaemonFCAnd mom asks me how I do it.Apr 09 15:40
DaemonFCAnd she gets mad when I tell her.Apr 09 15:41
DaemonFCI say, "Well, I feed them good food, and if they develop a behavior, instead of dumping them out in a field somewhere I understand the psychological reason for the behavior and redirect them.Apr 09 15:41
DaemonFCThat's where spanking a child comes in, btw.Apr 09 15:42
DaemonFCYou know, people do it too much because it's easier than understanding where the behavior comes from.Apr 09 15:42
MinceRprobably also enjoyable to many peopleApr 09 15:43
DaemonFCI wasn't a child who learned anything from being hit except to say in my head "Jesus Christ that woman is a bitch, can you believe that shit? How many more years do I have to live here?".Apr 09 15:43
DaemonFCWhen you grow up, if you hit someone there's criminal charges.Apr 09 15:44
DaemonFCIf you hit your spouse there's domestic abuse felonies.Apr 09 15:45
DaemonFCBut it's okay to just beat the fuck out of your kids because they annoyed you.Apr 09 15:45
DaemonFCBeat em senseless. As long as there's no bruises, cuts, or broken bones when they go to school, the state says it's fine.Apr 09 15:46
DaemonFCRemember! Belt to the ass or slap in the face!Apr 09 15:46
DaemonFCSpitting on them works too!Apr 09 15:46
*alextee (~alextee@62dnd9y3bk93n.irc) has joined #techrightsApr 09 15:46
DaemonFCIf they threaten to report you, say "That's fine because if the state investigates it you'll never be welcome back in this house again.".Apr 09 15:47

DaemonFCAgain, they just built better stuff back then.Apr 09 16:48
DaemonFCEven when they were only going to use something once, they thought big.Apr 09 16:48
DaemonFCNobody does that anymore.Apr 09 16:48
DaemonFCNASA was pretty much finished by the time the Space Shuttle happened.Apr 09 16:49
DaemonFCIt was just a horrible system and it bled them dry and they were stuck using it for decades and couldn't afford to do anything else because of it, and it killed a lot of people.Apr 09 16:49
DaemonFCThere wasn't even much technology to salvage from it to be re-applied anywhere else.Apr 09 16:50
DaemonFCA total money pit.Apr 09 16:50
DaemonFCI hate machines that aren't simple. Absolutely hate them.Apr 09 16:51
DaemonFC I keep going back to cars. People get absolutely no benefit at all from all of this modern technology.Apr 09 16:52
DaemonFCIt looks "futuristic", and then they buy it and they find out how awful it is.Apr 09 16:52
DaemonFCIt's expensive to service. There's serious malfunctions after a few years.Apr 09 16:52
DaemonFCAnd they know that you know it, and they'll win either way.Apr 09 16:53
DaemonFCEither the company sells you a service plan and makes money guaranteed, or you're back in there paying them retail price to fix it all the time, or you just give up and sell it and take a loss.Apr 09 16:53
DaemonFCAnd with older bigger cars, without any really fancy computers and sensors, if it starts acting up, you just pop the hood and see what the problem is, unbolt the part, throw it into the garbage (or take it back for the core) and bolt a new part on. The car starts right back up.Apr 09 16:54
DaemonFCSo with the newer stuff, even if the technology or the manufacturing process gets you good gas mileage, incredibly good gas mileage, it's not worth it.Apr 09 16:55
DaemonFCYou are talking pennies on the dollar in savings vs. what it will cost to repair.Apr 09 16:55
DaemonFCEven if gas goes up to $5 a gallon, you're better off with an older bigger car that's not that sophisticated.Apr 09 16:56

schestowitz-TRthose checks are funded by youApr 09 17:21
schestowitz-TRit's circularApr 09 17:21
schestowitz-TRthose who pay more in tax are shouldering the restApr 09 17:21
DaemonFCOnly the government could take $1,600 from a minimum wage Walmart employee that year, give him $50, and then brag that it gave him $50.Apr 09 17:21
DaemonFC(That's just the state income tax, btw.)Apr 09 17:22
schestowitz-TR[16:45] <MinceR> (i.e. that it picks up links to images from various IRC channels and rehosts them)Apr 09 17:23
schestowitz-TRthey should drop the "Z"!!Apr 09 17:23
DaemonFCBy the time the state gets done taxing you, they tax 5% of your income before you see it, up to 10% when you spend the money, another 39 cents per gallon of gas along with the sales tax, licenses to drive your car, license plates for the car, stickers from the city to drive your car.Apr 09 17:23
schestowitz-TRz is ze neu zwaztikaApr 09 17:23
DaemonFCThen there's the federal government too.Apr 09 17:23
DaemonFCThey make you pay into a Socialized Insecurity system you may never live to see.Apr 09 17:23

MinceRschestowitz-TR: lolApr 09 17:25

kingoffranceDaemonFC, and some ppl want more "enlightenment" quite funny isnt it?Apr 09 17:25
MinceRircz is older than the terrorussian practice of using the z as a zwastikaApr 09 17:25
DaemonFCNobody knows where it came from.Apr 09 17:25
DaemonFCThen after the government steals 40% of your money, they also inflate the money, so anything you managed to save is worth 10% less every year.Apr 09 17:25
schestowitz-TRMinceR: zatz not gutApr 09 17:26
DaemonFCMeanwhile, they spend the money blowing horrible bubbles that drive up the cost of everything from bread, to cars, to your rent.Apr 09 17:26
DaemonFCSo in the end you probably don't have much in savings and then they inflate away whatever you do have for an emergency.Apr 09 17:26
immibishot take: theft is taxationApr 09 17:26
DaemonFCYes, taxation is theft.Apr 09 17:27
DaemonFCInflation is theft by deception.Apr 09 17:27
immibisNo. Theft is taxation.Apr 09 17:27
kingoffranceimmibis is right, people are the stateApr 09 17:27

kingoffrancethats enlightenmentApr 09 17:27
kingoffranceimmibis is 100% enlightened lolApr 09 17:27
immibisIt's the price you pay for living in a society with a horribly designed system that puts so many people in positions where their best option is to steal.Apr 09 17:27
DaemonFCSo they should arrest the government and anyone it gives your money to.Apr 09 17:27
DaemonFCProblem solved!Apr 09 17:27
immibisIf you want to live in a society where people below you are fucked, them stealing from you is the price of that.Apr 09 17:28
schestowitz-TRinflation is a taxApr 09 17:28
schestowitz-TRand you might say tax is legalised theftApr 09 17:28
immibiswe do need to redesign the government financial system so it's clear who is paying for whatApr 09 17:28
DaemonFCIt's legal when the state does it. Like murder.Apr 09 17:28
DaemonFCCops murder people every day, nothing happens.Apr 09 17:28
DaemonFCI don't consider executions to be the same as murder.Apr 09 17:29
DaemonFCPeople who were executed at least had a trial.Apr 09 17:29
immibis(that surely won't happen until the people elect a government that represents them)Apr 09 17:29
MinceRtaxation is more like robberyApr 09 17:29
MinceRit's performed with threat of violenceApr 09 17:29
DaemonFCFor every person executed, the cops kill 1,000 more just by shooting them "because reasons".Apr 09 17:29
DaemonFCNone of them got a trial.Apr 09 17:29
DaemonFCBe mad about that, not about executing Jeffrey Dahmer.Apr 09 17:29
immibiswhen the government properly represents the people, taxation is no problem. It's just the prices for solving various tragedies of the commonsApr 09 17:30
kingoffrance"(that surely won't happen until the people elect a government that represents them)"  now you're denying the enlightenment happened </mincer>Apr 09 17:30

MinceRthe enlightenment was not an electionApr 09 17:30
kingoffrancewhat was it?Apr 09 17:30
DaemonFCThe focus on outlawing Capital Punishment is misguided. Nobody gets the death penalty in Illinois. The cops just shoot 6-7 people dead every day.Apr 09 17:30
DaemonFCBut nobody gets EXECUTED.Apr 09 17:30

DaemonFCschestowitz-TR Voice: The carjacker just wanted their reparations! They're hardly even a real criminal!Apr 09 17:33
immibisthings like pollution require enforcement if the desired amount of pollution is not infinityApr 09 17:33
MinceRi suspect that it is actually impossible for a human government to do thatApr 09 17:33
DaemonFCWhen you think about it, threatening to murder someone using an illegal handgun while stealing the only thing they own on this Earth isn't really a crime.Apr 09 17:33
DaemonFCIs it?Apr 09 17:33
immibismaybe every single person in the country wants less pollution, but it's also a capitalist economy and therefore the first person to unilaterally decrease their pollution output will just be hurting themselves for no benefitApr 09 17:33
DaemonFCIt's just "redistributing the wealth".Apr 09 17:33
DaemonFCHow ironic that Obummer is putting his library in Jackson Park.Apr 09 17:34
MinceRthe last i've heard was that we have 3 years or so to greatly reduce our emissions to avert a catastropheApr 09 17:34
immibiswe have negative yearsApr 09 17:34
DaemonFCHalf the people going to see it will "spread the wealth around" with the muggings and carjackings.Apr 09 17:34

immibismaybe the hatred for russian nazis will help avert the climate change catastrophe. i'd give it a 10% probabilityApr 09 17:34

DaemonFCWell, think about it. If California decides to commit to this, it'll just make less incentive to buy an EV anywhere else while all of them suffer.Apr 09 17:38
DaemonFCThe gaoline prices there are already several dollars a gallon more than the national average.Apr 09 17:39
DaemonFCBut banning the sale of new gasoline cars after 2035 is just a pipe dream.Apr 09 17:39

DaemonFCI sat down and helped my mom's friend from work set up a retirement account and told her exactly, step-by-step, how to go about taking the IRS for all they're worth on that.Apr 09 21:00
DaemonFCAnd which investments to avoid right now and which to go for.Apr 09 21:00
DaemonFCRight now, I'm heavily leaning on bonds, not stocks.Apr 09 21:00
DaemonFCschestowitz, I'm buying the Buick on Monday. That was a NICE car.Apr 09 21:02
DaemonFCNothing wrong with it other than it may need a battery and a coolant flush.Apr 09 21:02
DaemonFCBody is in nearly perfect condition.Apr 09 21:03
DaemonFCAll of the accessories and switches work fine.Apr 09 21:03
DaemonFCThe TPMS light is on. The sensors are about $75 each, and so if I want to replace them all that's maybe like $300.Apr 09 21:14
DaemonFCBut TPMS isn't important.Apr 09 21:14
DaemonFCIt's one of those government things where it's like "Oh some dumbass may not notice his tire is flat or 25% underfilled! Put another sensor on it!".Apr 09 21:15
DaemonFC<immibis> <DaemonFC> Even the Soviet car industry wasn't as bad as what the Democrats are doing because at least some people in Russia could afford to buy one.Apr 09 21:15
DaemonFC<immibis> wtfApr 09 21:15
MinceRi don't mind having TPMSApr 09 21:16
DaemonFCYes, Biden is doing a worse job than the Soviets. If a Soviet citizen couldn't get a car, at least it wasn't because some tree hugging douchebag in California wanted them all to cost $70,000 and up.Apr 09 21:16
MinceRthough i wouldn't mind CTIS eitherApr 09 21:16
DaemonFCMinceR, It's not worth $300 to put new sensors in, I'd say.Apr 09 21:17
DaemonFCIf the tire is flat, you'll know.Apr 09 21:17
MinceRit's better not to wait until it goes flatApr 09 21:17
DaemonFCNo, but that's usually the only time it would go off since I keep my tires inflated properly.Apr 09 21:42

DaemonFCI know that it will make liberals cry.Apr 09 22:34
DaemonFCOh, it's reliable.Apr 09 22:34
MinceRi'd prefer a Land Cruiser with a V8Apr 09 22:35
DaemonFCMinceR, The US auto industry has produced four generally decent engines in the last 40 years.Apr 09 22:35
MinceRyeah, and i'm not into gamblingApr 09 22:35
DaemonFCThe Ford Vulcan V6, the GM 60 degree V6 (the 3100 SFI model ended up producing 170 hp wand was hella fun in the Beretta), the Ford Modular V8, and the GM 3800 V6.Apr 09 22:36
DaemonFCThe 3800 V6 goes back to 1962.Apr 09 22:36
DaemonFC*wasApr 09 22:37
DaemonFCAnyway, the 3800 V6 Series 3 is the best choice if you have a choice.Apr 09 22:38
DaemonFCThey decided to use the stronger connecting rods from the supercharged model even in the NA model.Apr 09 22:38
DaemonFCSo you get much better odds that a MAJOR internal part of the engine will work okay for a very long time.Apr 09 22:38
*u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)Apr 09 22:39
DaemonFCDon't buy a 4.6 liter Modular V8 from Ford unless it's a 2001 or newer.Apr 09 22:39
DaemonFCTo avoid those defective DuPont intakes that could fail.Apr 09 22:39
DaemonFCBuying the 3100 SFI V6 from GM, you should plan to replace the intake manifold gaskets and switch to different coolant.Apr 09 22:40
DaemonFCSo you don't want to pay a lot of money for the car even though it's a good engine other than that.Apr 09 22:41
DaemonFChttps://itstillruns.com/information-3100-sfi-v6-engine-7868958.htmlApr 09 22:42
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-itstillruns.com | Information on a 3100 SFI V6 Engine | It Still RunsApr 09 22:42
DaemonFCIt's actually a surprisingly powerful engine for its size. It gets decent mileage in a car like a Beretta or Corsica, where it was the upgrade option from the underpowered Inline 4.Apr 09 22:42
DaemonFCThe car was built around the idea that most people would pick the base engine so it had to be possible to drive it with an engine that put out a wimpy little 100 horsepower.Apr 09 22:43
DaemonFCThe 3100 V6 puts out 175 horsepower.Apr 09 22:43
DaemonFCSo the car really moves if you have that engine.Apr 09 22:43
DaemonFCMinceR, Most American cars from the 80s, 90s, and 00s have bigger engines than the car itself really needs.Apr 09 22:44
DaemonFCLike, power to weight ratio.Apr 09 22:44
DaemonFCI was looking for an older car and pulled up a 1978 Lincoln someone was selling with 38,000 miles on it. 7.5 liter V8.Apr 09 22:45
DaemonFCOf course, you needed that back then because the engines just weren't very good.Apr 09 22:45
DaemonFCIt put out less power than the 3800 V6 did in the 2000s, and it used more than twice as much fuel in the process.Apr 09 22:46
DaemonFCSome software in a vehicle is probably a necessary evil, but we long since jumped the shark.Apr 09 22:46
DaemonFCEspecially on how much it can do for fuel economy.Apr 09 22:47
DaemonFCNow they're making "empty beer cans on wheels with a dinky engine" for, well........whoever responds to TV commercials with giant hamsters in them I guess.Apr 09 22:47
