| IsambardPrince | We've discussed eventually rescuing another cat. Nothing ever replaces the ones you've lost. They are always unique and someone that was unique can't be replaced. | Aug 10 04:31 |
| IsambardPrince | They have litters of kittens because in nature, which is very cruel, it's always a numbers game. | Aug 10 04:32 |
| IsambardPrince | There are still human countries that work this way. My partner was one of 8 children. | Aug 10 04:32 |
| IsambardPrince | 6 of them made it past early childhood. | Aug 10 04:32 |
| IsambardPrince | In nature, which is very cruel, something always feeds off something else, there's no medicine, nobody watching out for any individual. | Aug 10 04:33 |
| IsambardPrince | So the response to losing most of them is to design a fast reproductive cycle, and most of them will make it. | Aug 10 04:33 |

| IsambardPrince | The modern world, in so-called civilized countries, has replaced actual violence with systemic violence. It's worse. | Aug 10 04:43 |

| IsambardPrince | Claiming they had "Image Rights" against the guy recording him playing the piano. | Aug 10 04:53 |
| IsambardPrince | When London is one of the least private cities in the world and they probably walked past hundreds of police cameras already. | Aug 10 04:53 |

| IsambardPrince | Like, no patience for this. You know what we call an unarmed cop here? A security guard that can call the cops. | Aug 10 04:55 |
| IsambardPrince | And millions of people see that video. And they get the same impression of the UK I got. | Aug 10 04:55 |

| IsambardPrince | Here's what I say, Roy. About tourists. | Aug 10 05:00 |
| IsambardPrince | "When you are a visitor in someone else's country (or house, or whatever), it is best to like everyone, until you leave." | Aug 10 05:00 |
| IsambardPrince | (The King and I, I know, not original, but true.) | Aug 10 05:00 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: I was talking about this thing with the cops somewhere else. | Aug 10 05:01 |
| IsambardPrince | They were running that low rent grindr roach motel that I discussed here the other day. | Aug 10 05:01 |
| IsambardPrince | But they tried to bait me and I said "I'm not interested in minors and I know you're a cop." | Aug 10 05:01 |
| IsambardPrince | And I blocked that profile | Aug 10 05:01 |
| IsambardPrince | Then others started messaging me. Eventually one took a picture of white powder (cocaine?) and sent that to me. | Aug 10 05:02 |
| IsambardPrince | And I said, "I already told you. Fuck off, pigs." | Aug 10 05:02 |
| IsambardPrince | So then another one messaged me and I said "I know you're the police." | Aug 10 05:02 |
| IsambardPrince | They said "I'm not a cop." | Aug 10 05:02 |
| IsambardPrince | I said, "First off, the police can lie, and secondly, I dropped a GPS pin on your police station in a fake GPS app and now you're less than a foot from me on the app. So I know you're a cop." | Aug 10 05:03 |
| IsambardPrince | That one banned me and they stopped talking to me at that point. | Aug 10 05:03 |

| IsambardPrince | The job of the Screamers was to trick people into thinking they were a wounded soldier or a lost child to get victims to come rushing to them. | Aug 10 05:12 |
| IsambardPrince | Then they would fire up the saws and the Terminator strength and start killing all the people that came rushing towards them. | Aug 10 05:13 |
| IsambardPrince | The human-type Screamers upgraded their overall intelligence by generation. | Aug 10 05:13 |
| IsambardPrince | The David model (the boy with the teddy bear) was the least "evolved". | Aug 10 05:13 |
| IsambardPrince | Then they had the guy that pretended to be a human soldier, then there was the "Jessica" that was almost human. | Aug 10 05:14 |
| IsambardPrince | The problem was that they made her too human and she overcame what she was. So the whole idea is these things are evolving at a geometric rate. What would they turn into next? Well, the direct to DVD sequels ruined that branch. | Aug 10 05:15 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Yes, cutting perks and raising annual fees. | Aug 10 19:36 |
| IsambardPrince | They realize that they're selling you the illusion of "being in a club". | Aug 10 19:36 |
| IsambardPrince | It works very well, I ran into an article for investors about the hooks American Express has on people. Seen it firsthand too. | Aug 10 19:37 |

| IsambardPrince | There was a guy saying he was going to spend 6 months saving $10,000 to pay AmEx for a debt that was no longer collectible so that he could have his Gold Card reinstated with a $5,000 credit limit and a $325 annual fee. | Aug 10 19:37 |
| IsambardPrince | I asked what the logic in that was. Nobody could tell me. | Aug 10 19:38 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Banks like to issue high dollar rewards that you can only use in their travel portal. | Aug 10 19:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Then when you think you're earning rewards points real fast and go to their portal, you find out it's like Capital One's portal. | Aug 10 19:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Where an $80 hotel room on Priceline is $152 on Capital One Travel. | Aug 10 19:40 |
| IsambardPrince | :D | Aug 10 19:41 |
| IsambardPrince | And since the "miles" are only redeemable at half of face value if you choose the cash option, you lose either way. | Aug 10 19:41 |
| IsambardPrince | You either pay twice the face value of the miles for travel, or you take half the face value as cash. | Aug 10 19:41 |
| IsambardPrince | Either way they are actually worth the same. | Aug 10 19:41 |
| IsambardPrince | The Capital One Venture X says that you earn 3 miles per dollar. A mile is worth a penny in their travel portal, or half a penny in cash. | Aug 10 19:42 |
| IsambardPrince | So really what you're earning with a $395 annual fee, is 1.5% cash back, which you can get with a Capital One QuickSilver with no annual fee. | Aug 10 19:42 |

| IsambardPrince | You spend $395, you get $400 of travel credit. | Aug 10 19:43 |
| IsambardPrince | That means you're $5 ahead, except it's only worth $200. | Aug 10 19:43 |
| IsambardPrince | That leaves you with an effective annual fee of $195 a year for something that's got the same cash value on rewards as a no annual fee card. | Aug 10 19:44 |
| IsambardPrince | And you can only spend that credit in their overpriced portal. | Aug 10 19:44 |
| IsambardPrince | They will price match with "publicly available offers for the exact same travel" but then you have to log out of all the other travel sites, find a lower PUBLIC offer, and submit a claim to Capital One. | Aug 10 19:45 |
| IsambardPrince | After which, they will go look at it and give you an adjustment for the difference, but not in cash, in travel credit for Capital One. | Aug 10 19:45 |
| IsambardPrince | The publicly available offers don't count express deals on Priceline or whatever other sites call them, because they're unbranded. You can figure out what the hotel is yourself because there's enough clues if you spend 10 minutes figuring it out. | Aug 10 19:46 |
| IsambardPrince | But they don't count for price match. | Aug 10 19:46 |
| IsambardPrince | You have to look at the branded listing that you get while you are logged out and your cookies are cleared. | Aug 10 19:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | buy cat get one free | Aug 10 19:47 |
| IsambardPrince | It's just a lot of work. | Aug 10 19:48 |
| IsambardPrince | Then they could deny it or they might give you a Miles adjustment. | Aug 10 19:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | air miles are bs | Aug 10 19:49 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i used to chase these | Aug 10 19:49 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and chase the airlines to add these | Aug 10 19:49 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | at the end i either got nothing or passed the points to someone else | Aug 10 19:49 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it's like playing with tokens in an arade | Aug 10 19:49 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it's fake money | Aug 10 19:49 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | that most people won't redeem in any way | Aug 10 19:49 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but feel like they have 'wealth' in funny money | Aug 10 19:49 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | also, gamifying travel is bad for the planet | Aug 10 19:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it encourages people toi fly more | Aug 10 19:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | when they don't neeed to | Aug 10 19:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or fly further | Aug 10 19:50 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | the more pollutioon you cause | Aug 10 19:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the more 'rich' you will feel | Aug 10 19:50 |

| IsambardPrince | They have blackout dates, they inflate them massively just before you go to use them. | Aug 10 19:54 |
| IsambardPrince | They're not worth it. It's like hotel points. | Aug 10 19:54 |

| IsambardPrince | They canceled it. | Aug 10 20:10 |
| IsambardPrince | I asked why. | Aug 10 20:11 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | did toy discover why? | Aug 10 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | *&you | Aug 10 20:11 |
| IsambardPrince | They actually fired the person that was supposed to interview me. | Aug 10 20:11 |
| IsambardPrince | It's brutal out there, Roy. | Aug 10 20:11 |
| IsambardPrince | Nobody says it, but it is. | Aug 10 20:11 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: For now you still call 1-800-DISCOVER or whatever it is on the back of that card. | Aug 10 20:12 |
| IsambardPrince | You still get an American. | Aug 10 20:12 |
| IsambardPrince | But I noticed things have changed. | Aug 10 20:12 |
| IsambardPrince | It used to ring once, say "Thanks for calling Discover! Hold on and I'll get someone to help you!" and then they'd answer immediately and say "Thanks for calling Discover, this is Bill in Utah. How can I help you today?" | Aug 10 20:13 |
| IsambardPrince | And now it rings and rings and you get hold music and it takes 10 minutes to get anyone. | Aug 10 20:13 |
| IsambardPrince | Then they're very obviously in a bad mood. | Aug 10 20:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so you lose patience | Aug 10 20:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | hang up | Aug 10 20:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | might not phone again | Aug 10 20:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and they say they manage to reduce workload | Aug 10 20:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | because people phone less | Aug 10 20:14 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah. | Aug 10 20:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or give up | Aug 10 20:14 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Capital One's "support" is basically like this. | Aug 10 20:14 |
| IsambardPrince | They outsource to India or the Philippines. | Aug 10 20:14 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "YOU. ARE. NUMBER. 99. IN THE QUEUE [MUSIC]" | Aug 10 20:14 |
| IsambardPrince | You can't talk to a credit analyst because there isn't one. The computer's decision is final. | Aug 10 20:14 |
| IsambardPrince | If you need help doing more than reporting a stolen, lost, or damaged card, disputing a transaction, or asking for a credit line increase (which goes to the same computers you could have asked yourself on the app), they can't do it. | Aug 10 20:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | today i got spam for insurance company | Aug 10 20:17 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | even using databases more than a decade old | Aug 10 20:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | very desperate to find people who buy or sell homes | Aug 10 20:18 |
| IsambardPrince | Yes, I asked a few years ago. | Aug 10 20:22 |
| IsambardPrince | There was one that said Mandy and I could buy a 500,000 house. | Aug 10 20:22 |
| IsambardPrince | And there's nothing in the area that isn't at least $1 million. | Aug 10 20:22 |
| IsambardPrince | And yet this guy still calls me. | Aug 10 20:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | ha | Aug 10 20:25 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | rianne asked how old leeloo was | Aug 10 20:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you said the photo was 10 years ago | Aug 10 20:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and that yoiu rescued her | Aug 10 20:26 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i said she was likely old cat by now | Aug 10 20:26 |

| IsambardPrince | The tech at the emergency vet clinic said she "looked a lot older than 14". | Aug 10 20:27 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and before this site or irc channel existed | Aug 10 20:27 |
| IsambardPrince | 14 was just a guess. | Aug 10 20:27 |
| IsambardPrince | Someone looked at her teeth and said "Maybe 3?" when I found her. | Aug 10 20:27 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | ok, sold cat then | Aug 10 20:27 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Jeffrey Eisner put anti-adblock on his Pressure Luck cooking site. | Aug 10 22:20 |
| IsambardPrince | He hasn't added a new recipe in over a year but there's anti-adblock now. | Aug 10 22:20 |
| IsambardPrince | I went there in Firefox where the anti-adblock doesn't work and printed off all the recipes I know I like without the ads. | Aug 10 22:21 |
| IsambardPrince | Richard leaving him and moving from New York to San Francisco has obviously left him in a worse financial spot. | Aug 10 22:22 |
| IsambardPrince | Two incomes down to just one and moving to an even more expensive city than NYC. | Aug 10 22:22 |
| IsambardPrince | So instead of adding value to Pressure Luck he added a script designed to pressure people into disabling adblock. | Aug 10 22:22 |
| IsambardPrince | I don't know who wants to eat Cheetos without the orange coating. | Aug 10 22:33 |
| IsambardPrince | That was the part that made it visibly appealing. | Aug 10 22:33 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | lxo: mentioned you and linux-libre ^^ | Aug 10 22:40 |
| lxo | perfect timing, I'm just about to start my techrights reading for the day ;-) | Aug 10 22:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <IsambardPrince> And sweatpants.The Loser | Aug 10 22:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | lxo: I wrote 14 or 15 posts in schestowitz.com today | Aug 10 22:42 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but they are not tech focused | Aug 10 22:42 |
| lxo | that site of yours hasn't been very welcoming to my browsing habits, I'm afraid, so I haven't made it an habit of reading it. I've struggled a lot the few times I tried to read something there :-( | Aug 10 22:44 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: When a bank denies you a loan, it doesn't look like it but you actually got off light. | Aug 10 22:45 |
| IsambardPrince | They have risk models, their risk model told them you were unlikely to pay. They denied the loan. If they wrote it and you can't pay they will sue you and your life becomes hard. | Aug 10 22:45 |
| IsambardPrince | Not getting the loan means you don't get that thing you wanted, but it also means there's no debt. | Aug 10 22:45 |
| IsambardPrince | You'll have to take the bus or something, but at least there's no car loan you can't pay, for example. | Aug 10 22:45 |
| IsambardPrince | The alternative isn't "I get the car and everything's fine." The alternative is "I get the car, I can't pay for it, and now I'm in default, my credit is destroyed, I'm being sued, and I still don't have a car because it got repossessed." | Aug 10 22:46 |
| techrights-news | "Finance and Operations is so big because at its core IBM is a financial engineering company NOT a tech company." https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1kzfrptd2 | Aug 10 22:47 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights- ( status 403 @ https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1kzfrptd2 ) | Aug 10 22:47 | |
| techrights-news | "The atmosphere souring is really accelerating since July." https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1kzfrptd2 | Aug 10 22:47 |
| IsambardPrince | The nightmare situation for a finance company is you get a car loan, they wrote it at a stupid low or even zero interest to move the car. You pay for like a year or two then they get the car back. | Aug 10 22:50 |
| IsambardPrince | For the first two years, you pay off about 30-40% of the car, but it can lose up to 70% of its market value. | Aug 10 22:50 |
| IsambardPrince | It works beautifully on credit cardsβunsecured, intangible, no collateral that rots. The person pays interest forever, or they're in default either way and the company has already gotten paid. It works on mortgages because houses don't depreciate 70% in two years; they're stable or appreciative assets. You can hold a mortgage and collect payments for 30 years on something that's worth more than the loan. | Aug 10 22:53 |
| IsambardPrince | But a car? The thing you're financing is actively working against you. The lender needs the borrower to keep paying just to stay ahead of the depreciation curve. If they stop paying, the math collapses immediately. | Aug 10 22:53 |
| IsambardPrince | That's why "zero percent financing to move inventory" is a desperate move. They need the car gone. But the ones who actually default on those deals are the nightmareβthey turned the lender's inventory problem into a loss. | Aug 10 22:53 |
| IsambardPrince | When you can't pay your credit card, it'll still sit there accumulating late fees and 20-30% APR for six months. | Aug 10 22:53 |
| IsambardPrince | When they "charge it off" and sell the debt, you're looking at a lot more than you really spent, so even selling for partial amounts gets them a recovery of most of the loan. | Aug 10 22:54 |
| IsambardPrince | Then that next outfit goes after the cardholder. | Aug 10 22:54 |
| IsambardPrince | Six months of this and that $5,000 card is now $7,500, maybe more. | Aug 10 22:55 |
| IsambardPrince | Letting it continue to sit there open for six months maximizes their recovery. | Aug 10 22:55 |
| IsambardPrince | When they sell it as bad debt, you still owe $7500 for a place that probably paid $1500 for it. | Aug 10 22:55 |
| IsambardPrince | If the original bank charged it off when it went late, they would have gotten maybe $1,000. | Aug 10 22:56 |
| IsambardPrince | So they run your bill up by $2500 to recover another $500 and let the collection agency come after you. | Aug 10 22:56 |
