| schestowitz__ | DaemonFC[m]: lots of covid19 deaths in us | Sep 10 00:12 |
| schestowitz__ | it'll be about 1200 or more | Sep 10 00:12 |
| schestowitz__ | UK just 8 | Sep 10 00:13 |
| schestowitz__ | the US is NOT. GETTING. THIS. UNDER. COntrol. | Sep 10 00:13 |
| schestowitz__ | at all! | Sep 10 00:13 |
| schestowitz__ | by xmas it can be 300k deaths | Sep 10 00:13 |
| CrystalMath | hmm | Sep 10 00:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It was low for the last few days. | Sep 10 00:14 |
| CrystalMath | i almost made a bet months ago that there wont be 300k | Sep 10 00:14 |
| CrystalMath | by next february | Sep 10 00:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | IMHE says 317,000 by December 1st. | Sep 10 00:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They usually guess low. | Sep 10 00:15 |
| CrystalMath | but how can that be, if the death rate is 0.1% | Sep 10 00:15 |
| schestowitz__ | if it picks up pace, DaemonFC[m], then yes | Sep 10 00:15 |
| CrystalMath | err, 1% | Sep 10 00:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's not 0.1%. | Sep 10 00:15 |
| CrystalMath | not 0.1% | Sep 10 00:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's higher than 1%. | Sep 10 00:15 |
| CrystalMath | hmm, that would break my concept of this | Sep 10 00:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Probably at least 3 or 4 times higher. | Sep 10 00:15 |
| CrystalMath | but let's see | Sep 10 00:16 |
| CrystalMath | perhaps the deaths will start tapering off | Sep 10 00:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They seem to for a while and then shoot back up. | Sep 10 00:16 |
| schestowitz__ | 6,547,567 cases confirmed, 195,155 dead | Sep 10 00:16 |
| schestowitz__ | so that's like one in 30 | Sep 10 00:16 |
| schestowitz__ | not 1% | Sep 10 00:16 |
| CrystalMath | well my concept is that the actual number of cases | Sep 10 00:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's cyclical. I won't trust anything but a sustained downward trend that lasts at least 3 months. | Sep 10 00:16 |
| CrystalMath | is actually MUCH higher | Sep 10 00:16 |
| CrystalMath | but it can't go over 300mil | Sep 10 00:16 |
| CrystalMath | that would mean every single person in the US was infected | Sep 10 00:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It can if it infects people multiple times. | Sep 10 00:17 |
| schestowitz__ | which happens | Sep 10 00:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's on record doing that. | Sep 10 00:17 |
| CrystalMath | oh wait, no with 300k i was really going for 0.1% | Sep 10 00:17 |
| schestowitz__ | and if everyone had it, then the real death figures are also vastly higher | Sep 10 00:17 |
| schestowitz__ | but without covid diagnosis | Sep 10 00:17 |
| CrystalMath | i was very sure that this is a harmless virus :P | Sep 10 00:17 |
| schestowitz__ | e.g. people dying with it at home, thinking it's a bad flu | Sep 10 00:17 |
| CrystalMath | but if it's 1%, it's never gonna exceed 3 million | Sep 10 00:18 |
| schestowitz__ | it is not 1% | Sep 10 00:18 |
| CrystalMath | i think it is | Sep 10 00:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Trump trying to tap out on the Census because red states are not responding and the longer it goes on the better blue states will do. | Sep 10 00:18 |
| CrystalMath | best bet... the world is 7.7 billion, that means on a 1% it can't exceed 77 million deaths | Sep 10 00:18 |
| schestowitz__ | wrong assumption | Sep 10 00:19 |
| schestowitz__ | you must consider hospitals' capacity | Sep 10 00:19 |
| schestowitz__ | number of ventilators etc. | Sep 10 00:19 |
| schestowitz__ | at the moment we've throttled down this thing | Sep 10 00:19 |
| CrystalMath | yeah but i don't think it will even attempt to kill more than 1% | Sep 10 00:19 |
| CrystalMath | for 99% it may just be a harmless cold | Sep 10 00:19 |
| schestowitz__ | not hamrless | Sep 10 00:20 |
| CrystalMath | that goes through without problems | Sep 10 00:20 |
| schestowitz__ | long-term consequences | Sep 10 00:20 |
| CrystalMath | in people who are okay? | Sep 10 00:20 |
| CrystalMath | the stuff spread around about asymptomatic people getting lung fibrosis is bogus and not in any scientific article | Sep 10 00:20 |
| schestowitz__ | no, it impacts the nerve system, heart, sometimes lungs if your body takes it hard and had scarring from bad coughs and immunisation/reaction | Sep 10 00:20 |
| schestowitz__ | but never mind that... | Sep 10 00:20 |
| CrystalMath | nobody got seriously ill from this without also having serious symptoms | Sep 10 00:21 |
| CrystalMath | in some people it's just a cold | Sep 10 00:21 |
| CrystalMath | in some people it's deadly | Sep 10 00:21 |
| CrystalMath | and the question is, how many there are of these and how many there are of those | Sep 10 00:21 |
| CrystalMath | it'd also be good if we knew by what criteria | Sep 10 00:22 |
| CrystalMath | other coronaviruses do the exact same thing, btw | Sep 10 00:22 |
| CrystalMath | take a look at Setracovirus | Sep 10 00:22 |
| CrystalMath | it's an alphacoronavirus | Sep 10 00:22 |
| CrystalMath | it kills 0.5%, in some people it's nothing, but some people get the exact same COVID-19-like disease pattern and death | Sep 10 00:23 |
| CrystalMath | pneumonia, then noticable hypercatechinemia, then multiple organ failure | Sep 10 00:24 |
| schestowitz__ | it killed over 40k in the UK | Sep 10 00:24 |
| schestowitz__ | stop spreading bogus figures | Sep 10 00:24 |
| CrystalMath | i'm talking about Setracovirus | Sep 10 00:24 |
| CrystalMath | are you? | Sep 10 00:24 |
| schestowitz__ | if it weren'r for lockdown, it would still kill a thousand a day | Sep 10 00:24 |
| CrystalMath | Setracovirus != Sarbecovirus | Sep 10 00:24 |
| CrystalMath | they're different viruses | Sep 10 00:24 |
| CrystalMath | i'm using Setracovirus as an example that is meant to prove that coronaviruses can be harmless to some and deadly to others | Sep 10 00:25 |
| CrystalMath | viruses like SARS-CoV-1 are deadly to a lot | Sep 10 00:25 |
| CrystalMath | but they can still be harmless | Sep 10 00:25 |
| CrystalMath | if some yet unknown parameters are just right | Sep 10 00:25 |
| schestowitz__ | SARs (1) was stopped | Sep 10 00:25 |
| schestowitz__ | if it weren't, we'd be panicking | Sep 10 00:25 |
| schestowitz__ | you are missing the point | Sep 10 00:25 |
| schestowitz__ | containing it is still important | Sep 10 00:26 |
| schestowitz__ | asia learned its lessons from SARs | Sep 10 00:26 |
| schestowitz__ | which is why not many people die from covid19 there... | Sep 10 00:26 |
| schestowitz__ | anyway, I'm done here | Sep 10 00:27 |
| schestowitz__ | it's pointless to debate this | Sep 10 00:27 |
| schestowitz__ | good luck catching covid, lick some rail somewhere and brag about how it's "just a cold" | Sep 10 00:27 |
| CrystalMath | yeah but SARS-CoV-1 was deadly to a lot | Sep 10 00:27 |
| CrystalMath | SARS-CoV-2 may only be deadly to a few people | Sep 10 00:27 |
| MinceR | it seems to be able to reinfect people pretty easily | Sep 10 00:29 |
| MinceR | and spreads well | Sep 10 00:29 |
| MinceR | so it will just try over and over until you're dead | Sep 10 00:29 |
| CrystalMath | yeah but how many have died on a reinfection? | Sep 10 00:29 |
| MinceR | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | Sep 10 00:29 |
| CrystalMath | i suspect (conjecture) that the factors that lead to death with this virus are genetic in origin | Sep 10 00:29 |
| MinceR | well yeah, viruses are little more than genetic information :> | Sep 10 00:30 |
| CrystalMath | no i mean | Sep 10 00:30 |
| CrystalMath | in the human DNA of some people | Sep 10 00:30 |
| CrystalMath | there is a gene that causes them to die of covid due to an overaggressive immune response | Sep 10 00:30 |
| CrystalMath | for this to be true, it has to be that if they get a mild case once, they must always get a mild case | Sep 10 00:30 |
| MinceR | old people seem to have it worse | Sep 10 00:31 |
| MinceR | and that's not a change of human genes | Sep 10 00:31 |
| CrystalMath | but even 101yos have survived it | Sep 10 00:31 |
| MinceR | so maybe you'll get it over and over until you're 65 and it kills you | Sep 10 00:31 |
| CrystalMath | meh, i don't want to live past 30 | Sep 10 00:31 |
| CrystalMath | let alone 65 | Sep 10 00:31 |
| CrystalMath | i'm already at age 27, 3 more years till lastday.. | Sep 10 00:32 |
| MinceR | maybe that will be taken care of anyway | Sep 10 00:32 |
| CrystalMath | (lastday is a reference to the movie Logan's Run where people are executed at age 30) | Sep 10 00:32 |
| MinceR | :) | Sep 10 00:32 |
| CrystalMath | hmm, maybe the society in logan's run is like that because they got covid in 2020 and no vaccine worked :P | Sep 10 00:33 |

| MinceR | seems to me humans don't need outside help to go crazier and crazier and fuck up their own society more and more | Sep 10 00:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <CrystalMath "hmm, maybe the society in logan'"> So they don't let anyone live past 30 because they never figured out COVID-19? | Sep 10 00:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It never did say what the disaster was that forced them all into that shielded colony, did it? | Sep 10 00:36 |
| CrystalMath | i don't think so | Sep 10 00:36 |
| CrystalMath | maybe at the beginning it did? | Sep 10 00:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It wouldn't make sense. Either the virus made it in or it didn't. | Sep 10 00:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Let's say it wasn't COVID-19, but COVID-19 mutates into something extremely deadly. | Sep 10 00:37 |
| CrystalMath | yeah | Sep 10 00:37 |
| CrystalMath | i was mostly joking | Sep 10 00:37 |
| CrystalMath | Logan's Run is not likely because of a virus | Sep 10 00:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Ark was designed to let a certain number of "lottery" winners survive and they kept it out by screening and a quarantine before letting anyone in the colony. | Sep 10 00:37 |
| schestowitz__ | mutations that spread faster are more "successful" | Sep 10 00:37 |
| MinceR | "They mostly come at night... Mostly." | Sep 10 00:37 |
| schestowitz__ | the more of them you have, the more prevalent they become | Sep 10 00:37 |
| CrystalMath | probably MinceR's version is correct, to prevent overpopulation they kill people at 30 | Sep 10 00:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But let's say the virus eventually killed off the people outside. | Sep 10 00:38 |
| schestowitz__ | and they're good at spreading when they destroy the body of but don't kill the 'host' | Sep 10 00:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It would eventually be safe to come out again, and so why didn't they? | Sep 10 00:38 |
| schestowitz__ | (they get incinerated) | Sep 10 00:38 |
| schestowitz__ | "cremated" | Sep 10 00:38 |
| MinceR | DaemonFC[m]: they forgot why it was unsafe | Sep 10 00:38 |
| CrystalMath | DaemonFC[m]: well i think the title sequence mentions overpopulation is the reason | Sep 10 00:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Unlikely. They had computers. | Sep 10 00:39 |
| CrystalMath | as far as i remember | Sep 10 00:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It would seem odd that they'd just forget why they all went in there in the first place. | Sep 10 00:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | One giant quarantine so that they'd be safe from the world outside for a while. | Sep 10 00:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It would make sense that the computer would let them out eventually. | Sep 10 00:40 |
| MinceR | unless it was programmed by humans | Sep 10 00:40 |
| MinceR | and hit a bug | Sep 10 00:40 |
| MinceR | or several | Sep 10 00:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | A small human population in a bubble colony is not going to last forever. | Sep 10 00:40 |
| MinceR | human population is unlikely to last forever anyway | Sep 10 00:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: It seems like a small human population full of the smartest people we have and all of our best technology while the rest of the world dies off would be our best chance. | Sep 10 00:42 |
| MinceR | indeed | Sep 10 00:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They come out, all of these dumb rednecks that are driving V8 diesel trucks and voting for Trump are gone. | Sep 10 00:43 |

| DaemonFC[m] | But I've read some patents, even on things like MP3, and it's not at all clear from the language how you'd implement it, although they did take people to court with them. | Sep 10 00:45 |

| kingoffrance | this actually sort of came up a link in here the other day about libreoffice | Sep 10 00:58 |
| kingoffrance | about a million line codebase...and arguing whether or not that means the "really good" devs left to code something more profitable | Sep 10 00:59 |
| kingoffrance | leaving...ppl who couldnt possibly know how it works | Sep 10 00:59 |
| kingoffrance | in their defenes,e i think that was kind of what ppl said with staroffice | Sep 10 00:59 |
| kingoffrance | so perhaps its always been like that (i am assuming it is still the same "lineage" however far down now) | Sep 10 01:00 |
| kingoffrance | im not picking on them | Sep 10 01:00 |
| kingoffrance | but that was the attitude of the "really good coder at intel" | Sep 10 01:00 |
| kingoffrance | point being, ppl with knowledge who build things are supposed to leave | Sep 10 01:00 |
| kingoffrance | and maintenance is not sexy | Sep 10 01:00 |
| kingoffrance | so you are left with ppl who didnt build the thing, trying to figure out how it works, or is supposed to work | Sep 10 01:01 |
| kingoffrance | because the creators took off | Sep 10 01:01 |
| kingoffrance | cuz thats what really good devs do -- dont maintain anything | Sep 10 01:01 |
| MinceR | i wonder how good a dev really is if they won't maintain anything :> | Sep 10 01:01 |
| kingoffrance | well perhaps that is not all bad -- just IMO that is very much the attitude some places | Sep 10 01:02 |
| kingoffrance | other places they call them prima donna rock stars and say they ruin projects | Sep 10 01:02 |
| kingoffrance | im trying to avoid taking sides here -- just that IMO can be one reason noone knows how anything works | Sep 10 01:04 |
| MinceR | could be | Sep 10 01:04 |
| kingoffrance | i do think its kinda superficial though; million line code base coudl be totally readable; how many lines per "module" ? | Sep 10 01:09 |
| kingoffrance | LOCs i think are generally useless | Sep 10 01:09 |
| kingoffrance | well i do think its kind of bs because the unstated assumption is "really good devs" are already hired somewhere making big buck$ ...maybe, maybe not, but i wouldnt ever make that assumption i guess | Sep 10 01:18 |
| kingoffrance | but that is kind of how some business ppl see things... | Sep 10 01:18 |
| kingoffrance | there are ppl, who will tell you with a straight face, if you're so smart why arent you rich? | Sep 10 01:21 |
| kingoffrance | so i think that indirectly very much feeds into noone knows how anything works: thats not their priority | Sep 10 01:21 |
| kingoffrance | they arent against preserving such "knowledge" necessarily, but thats not the #1 goal for many things | Sep 10 01:22 |

| DaemonFC[m] | "We’re not recommending anything unsavory here, but you know, there’s probably good reason that people who think the federal government is illegal tend to like gold." | Sep 10 04:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's hard to inflate gold. In fact, with fiat money increasing in supply faster than the economy grows, it leads to higher gold values. | Sep 10 04:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Not just by you sell it and get more inflated dollars, but because there's only so much gold and it can only be mined so fast. | Sep 10 04:42 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Right now they're saying there's a 4 year backlog of cases in Chicago, meaning we might actually be waiting for another 3 years just to have our interview. | Sep 10 06:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz__ Did you see that Duterte pardoned a US Marine convicted of murdering a transsexual? | Sep 10 06:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then he took the news channel that wouldn't cover his inauguration off the air. | Sep 10 06:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | No wonder Trump admires him. | Sep 10 06:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | God damn. With everything wrong with this country at least we have some institutions left that Trump hasn't managed to ruin for his own personal vendettas. | Sep 10 06:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I don't know for how much longer. Hopefully we have a good shot at getting rid of him before things are completely fucked. | Sep 10 06:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's a new immigration form that basically makes you prove you're rich to adjust status now. | Sep 10 06:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Trump let in a porn baron and he raped a 16 year old, tried to file bankruptcy due to numerous lawsuits from women that were tricked and raped by his company, and then fled to New Zealand to beat the arrest warrant. | Sep 10 06:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But hey, hey had money. That's the important part. | Sep 10 06:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | While Trump is saying you need to be rich, they let rich people right in who start committing heinous crimes against Americans. Against children. | Sep 10 06:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Trump hasn't even formally requested an extradition for Michael Pratt. | Sep 10 06:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz__ The US will never have Coronavirus under control. Trump used the Federal government to sabotage state responses and hold back money from them to pressue them into reopening as an election stunt and he got hundreds of thousands of Americans killed. | Sep 10 06:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's really only so much that a state like Illinois can do when Trump is trying to make the pandemic worse. | Sep 10 06:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The worse it gets, the easier it is for him to keep issuing orders instead of following the law. So more and more like Duterte. | Sep 10 06:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Philippines has never been a country with laws, but they're going away fast here under Trump. | Sep 10 06:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The US harbored Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos when the Philippines drove them out after they tried stealing an election. They lived in Hawaii for years. | Sep 10 07:02 |

| schestowitz__ | that was around Easter | Sep 10 07:12 |
| schestowitz__ | I can still use hv, in the access sense, but thankfully I didn't need to enter the containers or restart either of the VMs | Sep 10 07:13 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah. | Sep 10 07:31 |
| schestowitz__ | why I'm cynical about ever living there | Sep 10 07:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Stolen elections and public corruption have been going on there for decades. | Sep 10 07:32 |
| schestowitz__ | Ariadne lived there for a year | Sep 10 07:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's pretty bad when your country is so fucked up you have to pray for your leader to have a stroke or something because you'll never get a fair election again. | Sep 10 07:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The US is close. | Sep 10 07:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz__: My mom is something else. | Sep 10 07:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | She either makes stuff up to get attention or she really is so insane she thought there were demons harassing her in two of the houses she lived in. | Sep 10 07:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The only thing I got from my parents were bipolar disorder and ingrowing toenails. | Sep 10 07:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Mom spent her life savings twice over on houses she lost to her ex husband, went bankrupt, still owes the IRS money. | Sep 10 07:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That whole side of the family could literally....they're the people you hear about who win a billion in the lottery somehow and are broke in 5 years. | Sep 10 07:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | My cousins (identical twins) are getting ready to file their third bankruptcies. Each one of them makes 3 times as much money as I do and got $460,000 in life insurance, each, in 2014. | Sep 10 07:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're just....so stupid. Like, what could you legitimately spend that much money on in 6 years to be bankrupt? $460,000 and you made almost $70,000 per year * 6. | Sep 10 07:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's $880,000 in 6 years, and bankrupt. | Sep 10 07:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz__: I used bankruptcy more strategically. I made it to 36 and used it to get myself out of debt incurred due to that despicable court proceeding last year, living expenses while the government wouldn't allow my spouse to work, and all the financial obligations I racked up with John. | Sep 10 07:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I feel like, you know, a lot of that was lack of good judgment for all of a few minutes. But everyone else just keeps tripping over themselves and finding money everywhere, blowing it, and pleading poverty. | Sep 10 07:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Like, how many gadgets and trips to Starbucks do you need? | Sep 10 07:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The shitheads out there are what provided the excuse for the BAPCPA, but everyone with legitimate problems now gets to suffer under it. | Sep 10 07:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think it should focus less on income and more on what the debt actually is. | Sep 10 07:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You know, if you throw in a credit card and the trustee sees 900 trips to Starbucks, then it should be presumed abuse and survive. | Sep 10 07:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But if you're paying rent and buying food because you lost your job? Don't kick a guy while he's down. | Sep 10 07:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | What they have now is a system that went after abusive filers with a shotgun and half the pellets hit people who are in there through little/no fault of their own. | Sep 10 07:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I don't really think worse of my ex for filing bankruptcy on part of the bill for having his parents cremated. | Sep 10 07:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I looked at what those "basic cremation packages" cost. They don't want you getting out of there for less than $1,600. | Sep 10 07:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That is, they put the corpse in a box, send it into a furnace, and give you the ashes in a cardboard container. | Sep 10 07:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So they're probably billing at least 14 times what it cost them to go drive a body "up to 8 miles" and burn it. | Sep 10 07:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think Adam Ruins Everything did a whole episode on funeral homes. | Sep 10 07:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They got my cousins for over $20,000 on their mom, and that didn't even include the burial plot. | Sep 10 07:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I already let everyone know to stick me in a box and cremate me. Cheapest they can get. I'm sure they'll listen because they don't like me anyway. | Sep 10 07:53 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm sure someone will go if lunch is provided. | Sep 10 07:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz__: Having a large bank account balance is a bad idea in general. | Sep 10 07:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Even in "normal" times. | Sep 10 07:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The lawsuit people know they'll never collect if you hardly keep anything in the bank except for your immediate expenses. | Sep 10 08:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz__: There's risks to your money no matter where you keep it. The safety of the bank is an illusion. | Sep 10 08:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The government can freeze your account. The IRS can reach in and take whatever it wants. If someone sues you, they can levy it for whatever your state doesn't exempt. | Sep 10 08:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you take it out in cash, someone could burn the building down or break in and steal it. | Sep 10 08:04 |

| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz__: Nearly 400 new deaths reported in Florida today. | Sep 10 19:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Was 202 yesterday. | Sep 10 19:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I don't know if this is recent or because they finally started to use the CDC definition of what a COVID death was instead of the fake news numbers that the Republicans figured would make them look less incompetent. | Sep 10 19:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Anyway, we all knew this was coming. You can kill the truth, but it always comes back to haunt you. | Sep 10 19:30 |
| schestowitz__ | DaemonFC[m]: don't worry, Racist Mobster will stick a cork in FL | Sep 10 19:30 |
| schestowitz__ | to keep it from "fake news" | Sep 10 19:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Like Trump admitting on tape (didn't know he was recorded) saying he knew it was serious but "always wanted to play it down so that people won't panic". | Sep 10 19:31 |
| schestowitz__ | DaemonFC[m]: when people die they die [...] | Sep 10 19:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Admitting he was briefed that it was "5x deadlier than seasonal flu". | Sep 10 19:31 |
| schestowitz__ | there are death certs | Sep 10 19:31 |
| schestowitz__ | those contain cause of deaths | Sep 10 19:31 |
| schestowitz__ | some countries brushed deaths under the rug | Sep 10 19:31 |
| schestowitz__ | even china | Sep 10 19:31 |
| schestowitz__ | then overnight BAM 1000 more "unaccounted" deaths | Sep 10 19:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Oh, Trump's an even bigger liar than the Chinese Communist Party. The only reason he can't quite cover this up is because we have states. | Sep 10 19:33 |
| *Mogzagain (~Mogzagain@185.92.25.116) has joined #techrights | Sep 10 19:33 | |
| schestowitz__ | +378 deaths in Florida today, COVID-connected | Sep 10 19:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, and now the other shoe drops. | Sep 10 19:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | SURPRISE! | Sep 10 19:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So that's 600 deaths reported in two days from Florida alone. | Sep 10 19:34 |
| Mogzagain | Hi guys :-) Only got about 10 mins, so sorry for rushing in like this, but may I just ask about something ... I'm a bit surprised seeing Distrotube promoted, as he was the one whipping up ppl on youtube to go against rms and linux last year. | Sep 10 19:34 |
| Mogzagain | *linus | Sep 10 19:34 |
| Mogzagain | he did a main video, against them both | Sep 10 19:34 |
| Mogzagain | just trying to find the link; bit difficult with invidious at the mo | Sep 10 19:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz__: What's obviously going on here is that the county level health departments are going back and doing reports based on the CDC methodology, and we have no idea how many more are yet to report. | Sep 10 19:35 |
| Mogzagain | https://invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v=BZuDhgQmN7U | Sep 10 19:35 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-invidious.snopyta.org | Are Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds Good for Linux? - Invidious | Sep 10 19:35 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | So it's going to be like that couple of days in Texas where they said "Oh by the way, here's 3,000 more we didn't count before.". | Sep 10 19:35 |
| schestowitz__ | hi Mogzagain | Sep 10 19:36 |
| Mogzagain | Hi Roy :-) | Sep 10 19:36 |
| schestowitz__ | I think I remember something to that effect | Sep 10 19:36 |
| Mogzagain | as I understood from the time around last year's video by him, he was an FSF member/active on the forum, too | Sep 10 19:36 |
| schestowitz__ | people can change their views over the course of a year | Sep 10 19:36 |
| schestowitz__ | Like Chris Titus | Sep 10 19:36 |
| schestowitz__ | he found GNU/Linux about a year ago | Sep 10 19:37 |
| Mogzagain | yes, but no apology or attempting to get RMS back | Sep 10 19:37 |
| schestowitz__ | then started shilling it instead of Windows/Microsoft | Sep 10 19:37 |
| schestowitz__ | Derek is not predictable | Sep 10 19:37 |
| schestowitz__ | he reminds me of ESR, maybe because of the looks and accent | Sep 10 19:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm certain that even though there is concrete proof that Trump knew how bad this was and lied, my parents would either deny reality or find some excuse for him, like they usually do. It's pathetic, really. | Sep 10 19:37 |
| Mogzagain | derek wasn't watched (by me), since that video, lol | Sep 10 19:37 |
| Mogzagain | I don't think CTT minds proprietary stuff too much | Sep 10 19:38 |
| schestowitz__ | DaemonFC[m]: maybe that's the "October sSurprise" | Sep 10 19:38 |
| schestowitz__ | Sometimes previously untold regarding COVID | Sep 10 19:38 |
| schestowitz__ | and sending him scrabling | Sep 10 19:38 |
| schestowitz__ | something he had said about it | Sep 10 19:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's like Maricel saying Duterte (extrajudicial killings and sending soldiers to shut down the news) is the best president the Philippines has ever had. That's how my parents are with Trump. | Sep 10 19:39 |
| schestowitz__ | or how he lied or threatened health officials | Sep 10 19:39 |
| Mogzagain | just a bit weird seeing him promoted, as he was certainly part of the anti-RMS cancellation last year | Sep 10 19:39 |
| schestowitz__ | the campaign typically save those things to the last week to cause outrage | Sep 10 19:39 |
| schestowitz__ | DaemonFC[m]: they're idiots | Sep 10 19:39 |
| schestowitz__ | there's a word for them | Sep 10 19:40 |
| schestowitz__ | dutertards | Sep 10 19:40 |
| Mogzagain | I'd even messaged him on Mastadon to say to lay off RMS and why, but no response | Sep 10 19:40 |
| schestowitz__ | maybe he walked back on it | Sep 10 19:40 |
| schestowitz__ | he started videos where he does an RMS | Sep 10 19:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz__: Those recordings are going to be great. Biden can just run the thing with Trump saying "I knew it was bad and I always wanted to play it down to avoid panic!" over and over again all next month in every swing state against a backdrop of Americans dying on a graph. | Sep 10 19:40 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-techrights.org | DistroTube Does a Richard Stallman | Techrights | Sep 10 19:41 | |
| schestowitz__ | like I said, he's not predictable or even consistent | Sep 10 19:41 |
| schestowitz__ | It's like Lunduke | Sep 10 19:41 |
| schestowitz__ | one day he ATTACKS RMS, the next day he worships him, then the opposite again | Sep 10 19:41 |
| schestowitz__ | whatever gets him views | Sep 10 19:41 |
| Mogzagain | just wish he'd put effort in to rally people to RMS, rather than just talk | Sep 10 19:42 |
| schestowitz__ | I only subscribed to him a couple of months back | Sep 10 19:42 |
| schestowitz__ | so I really don't know his full history | Sep 10 19:42 |
| Mogzagain | yes, I've stopped watching them all. more needs to be done, and people going from one side to the other isn't where any real action is at | Sep 10 19:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Playing it down is exactly why Trump's supporters usually don't wear masks and are attacking retail workers who won't let them into Walmart or who ask them to get out of a restaurant. They have to pretend to be all tough and shit and then scream "DEMOCRATIC PIGS!" while the cops are hauling them out by the ankles. God what a bunch of fucking losers. | Sep 10 19:42 |
| schestowitz__ | but he's nice to me and covers things we cover as well | Sep 10 19:42 |
| schestowitz__ | we'll never agree on >everything< | Sep 10 19:43 |

| Mogzagain | I stopped watching him a year ago, after what happened to RMS, and many youtubers were doing videos such as his, anti-RMS, with a few objecting, but anyway, people can choose to watch what they like, of course! | Sep 10 19:44 |

| schestowitz__ | iirc, he even misused the money for a helicopter | Sep 10 19:54 |
| schestowitz__ | DaemonFC[m]: "they found him face down on his desk." | Sep 10 19:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, there's nothing legitimate about mgachurch pastors. They live in a mansion and fly on private jets and openly mock their "congregation" (emphasis on the con), for enabling it. Then they say "Send this prayer cloth back and we'll pray for you, oh, with money please!". Some people who worked on that for Benny Hinn said they'd tear the envelope open and shake the money out and the rest went in the trash. | Sep 10 19:55 |

| DaemonFC[m] | They still say it's a miracle and there's no other possible explanation for why he went into remission. | Sep 10 19:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you put anything on a long enough timetable, the odds of something happening by off chance treble until something bizarre and improbable does happen. | Sep 10 19:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you go backtesting anyone's life who has managed to live and not end up homeless or in prison or laid off and found in the garage with the car running, there's hundreds of opportunities for it to have all gone horribly wrong and potentially with a 1-2% chance at each turn, and just none of it did. | Sep 10 19:59 |

| DaemonFC[m] | They say there's a legal process, but in practice, Trump has shut everyone out of it except rich criminals like that rapist porn baron. | Sep 10 20:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | This election is Biden's to fuck up, and that recent immigration pick he made could very well lose him Florida. | Sep 10 20:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He picked someone from the Obama Administration who was responsible for deporting 2 million people. | Sep 10 20:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Mom and dad aren't smart enough to look at facts, but as soon as Trump took over, the number of deportations fell by over 40%. | Sep 10 20:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Obama was doing what they said they elected Trump for. | Sep 10 20:06 |
| schestowitz__ | I am guessing there's still widespread belief among Trump voters that Obama was a Muslim, born in Kenya, and "antichrist" | Sep 10 20:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | When we had a legal immigration system I was a lot angrier about people just overstaying their visa and saying "I'm here now!", but I can no longer find a reason to be mad about it. If there was a legal process, I would be. But Trump has turned USCIS into a farce that lets child rapists into the country if they have money while he claims that some guy who works on people's roof are the problem. | Sep 10 20:07 |

| DaemonFC[m] | I see ICE right now as being like the bounty hunters in the 1860s who were implementing the Fugitive Slave Act in the northern states, which didn't want them there. | Sep 10 20:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In fact, the state of Illinois has passed a series of state laws to frustrate ICE, just as it was the first state to start arresting the bounty hunters and breaking the slaves out of jail. | Sep 10 20:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's no state law requiring employers in Illinois to use E-Verify, but in practice most do. | Sep 10 20:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Libertarians despise E-Verify for many reasons, including the fact that there are errors in the system that cause it to say "Don't hire that American!" about 3% of the time. | Sep 10 20:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But many states where Republicans are in the majority have made it mandatory. | Sep 10 20:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They've never managed to work the bugs out, and if you've ever tried to get the government to correct any of its records, have fun with that. People shouldn't have to ask the government if they can have a job or not. | Sep 10 20:21 |

| schestowitz__ | DaemonFC[m]: FL changed the number to 205 | Sep 10 21:02 |
| schestowitz__ | wonder what happened... | Sep 10 21:02 |
| schestowitz__ | maybe some dead people rose from the grave for the Orange Agents | Sep 10 21:02 |
| schestowitz__ | "it's a 9/11 MIRACLE!!" | Sep 10 21:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz__: Worldometer does that sometimes. | Sep 10 21:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The total dead didn't go down. | Sep 10 21:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They got redistributed to earlier days I think. | Sep 10 21:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz__: Two thirds of the US death toll is coming from like 5 southern states at this point. It's been like this for a while. | Sep 10 21:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | While there are some shithead Republicans in Illinois who have to be dragged out of Target by the ankles for destroying a mask display, there's a lot more in Florduh. | Sep 10 21:05 |

| schestowitz__ | I have a relative there who's a chiro | Sep 10 21:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz__: The thing about Republicans is that they're so stupid there is no concept of quit while you're behind. | Sep 10 21:09 |
| schestowitz__ | And another whose own daughters both call him (the father) "dumb" | Sep 10 21:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If they hadn't pushed gay marriage to the Supreme Court, and had started recognizing out of state marriage licenses, part of their ban might still be in effect. | Sep 10 21:09 |
| schestowitz__ | 911k covid deaths just in time for 9/11 | Sep 10 21:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They push and they push and they lose and then they act like dicks about it forever. | Sep 10 21:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz__: I don't know what Brendan Eich though t he was doing. | Sep 10 21:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There was no way that the government of California was going to step in to defend a voter initiative to ban gay marriage. | Sep 10 21:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | All he ended up doing was providing a vehicle into the federal courts to strike down gay marriage bans everywhere in the 9th circuit (not just California). | Sep 10 21:12 |
| schestowitz__ | 2008 iirc | Sep 10 21:12 |
| schestowitz__ | 12 years ago was a different time, also for public opinion | Sep 10 21:12 |
| schestowitz__ | and 20 years ago I think few people supported such a thing, except gay couples | Sep 10 21:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | With nobody but a bunch of random church clowns trying to defend the law, it stood no chance of having a proper defense at the trial level. | Sep 10 21:12 |
| schestowitz__ | my lesbian colleague married around 2008 | Sep 10 21:13 |
| schestowitz__ | did me no harm | Sep 10 21:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <schestowitz__ "and 20 years ago I think few peo"> It was actually around 2012 or so that it started polling above water. | Sep 10 21:13 |
| schestowitz__ | it's mostly a formality anyway, for most marriages | Sep 10 21:13 |
| schestowitz__ | it's a "paperwork" thing | Sep 10 21:14 |
| schestowitz__ | and taxes | Sep 10 21:14 |
| schestowitz__ | many people are in unhealthy marriages | Sep 10 21:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Well, nobody has sued USCIS yet. So Civil Unions don't count for filing a petition for adjustment of status, even though it's the same thing as marriage at the state level and for Social Security and Medicare. | Sep 10 21:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | (and taxes on both levels) | Sep 10 21:14 |
| schestowitz__ | so the marriage itself isn't a yardstick for much | Sep 10 21:14 |
| schestowitz__ | you said you and Mandy were already arguing routinely | Sep 10 21:14 |
| schestowitz__ | (not that this in itself is the issue) | Sep 10 21:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's unlikely that USCIS could continue denying petitions for people in civil unions in light of everything else. | Sep 10 21:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's happened a few times, but never anything that bad. | Sep 10 21:15 |
| schestowitz__ | maybe we'll have more words banned | Sep 10 21:15 |
| schestowitz__ | and the pseudo activists will be jubilant | Sep 10 21:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Usually just you know, he wanted to go to a friend's husband's funeral today. | Sep 10 21:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I said, "Hey, that's a bad idea. They're saying those are superspreader events and it may be our funeral next.". | Sep 10 21:15 |
| schestowitz__ | obituary: "John Dobbs managed to get the word "whitelist" banned and won a Nobel Prize for it" | Sep 10 21:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He pouted for a while but eventually understood. | Sep 10 21:16 |
| schestowitz__ | funerals are meaningless in many cases | Sep 10 21:16 |
| schestowitz__ | the dead person cannot see anyone | Sep 10 21:16 |
| schestowitz__ | it's for relatives | Sep 10 21:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Whenever we argue it's something like that. I'm legitimately concerned that one or both of us will get sick so he can go to some random funeral for someone we don't even know. | Sep 10 21:16 |
| schestowitz__ | to feel like the dead loved one was widely loved | Sep 10 21:17 |
| schestowitz__ | even when it's faked | Sep 10 21:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I don't want to watch Mandy die. It would destroy me. | Sep 10 21:17 |
| schestowitz__ | many funerals are in absentia mostly during this year | Sep 10 21:17 |
| schestowitz__ | it's becoming normal | Sep 10 21:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I have a family here to consider. Him, the cats. Those are my babies. How do you not get attached to your cats? | Sep 10 21:17 |
| schestowitz__ | maybe zoom will Market VirtualFuneral(R) | Sep 10 21:18 |
| schestowitz__ | discount for dead people under 65 | Sep 10 21:18 |
| schestowitz__ | "I wanted to see dead dad... but my connection dropped" | Sep 10 21:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's not like "I hate you and I want a divorce!"/"You can have one for a goddamned glass of water!" type stuff. | Sep 10 21:18 |
| schestowitz__ | "I watched it on replay the following day" | Sep 10 21:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's usually just me trying to plan and manage risk. | Sep 10 21:18 |
| MinceR | trolls breaking into virtual funerals is going to be hilarious | Sep 10 21:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | His sister was harsh on him and she's a very evil and selfish person. | Sep 10 21:19 |
| schestowitz__ | MinceR: for the trolls | Sep 10 21:19 |
| MinceR | :> | Sep 10 21:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | His parents died when he was like 15-16. | Sep 10 21:19 |
| schestowitz__ | well, tondo is tough | Sep 10 21:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz__: The only reason it's not raining shit on her right now is that I don't know if she'll be useful (or worth the effort) yet. | Sep 10 21:20 |
| schestowitz__ | MinceR: trolls with Scary Movie masks and accessories | Sep 10 21:20 |
| MinceR | :> | Sep 10 21:20 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | keybase was bought by zoom btw | Sep 10 21:20 |
| schestowitz__ | DaemonFC[m]: just keep a distance either way | Sep 10 21:20 |
| schestowitz__ | _I3^RELATIVISM: keybase was worse than useless anyway | Sep 10 21:20 |
| schestowitz__ | i had an account there | Sep 10 21:20 |
| schestowitz__ | never used it... for anything substantial | Sep 10 21:21 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | true | Sep 10 21:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, schestowitz__ I don't want anything to do with them. | Sep 10 21:21 |
| schestowitz__ | not sure why I even bothered setting up the account | Sep 10 21:21 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | but many people use it | Sep 10 21:21 |
| schestowitz__ | _I3^RELATIVISM: they just try to buy "privacy" creds | Sep 10 21:21 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | hopefully this makes them drop it | Sep 10 21:21 |
| schestowitz__ | while admitting they collaborate with FBI on back doors | Sep 10 21:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz__: I was trying to say Red Alert before he even went and told her he had a job. | Sep 10 21:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I predicted what she was going to do with complete accuracy. | Sep 10 21:21 |
| schestowitz__ | get rid of the 'phone' | Sep 10 21:22 |
| schestowitz__ | problem solved | Sep 10 21:22 |
| schestowitz__ | no more talking to those nuisance | Sep 10 21:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I have him on my account. | Sep 10 21:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | She doesn't know the new number. | Sep 10 21:22 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | yah that is what Ido | Sep 10 21:22 |
| schestowitz__ | DaemonFC[m]: "I call YOU, don't call me" | Sep 10 21:23 |
| schestowitz__ | use some landline at the hotel | Sep 10 21:23 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | If you need to get a hold of someone just ask to a friend/stranger to use theyre phone | Sep 10 21:23 |
| schestowitz__ | they cannot phone you back | Sep 10 21:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They'd just get the number from the hotel. Not the extension. | Sep 10 21:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's over 300 rooms here. | Sep 10 21:23 |
| schestowitz__ | yeah | Sep 10 21:23 |
| schestowitz__ | it's like your tor exit node | Sep 10 21:23 |
| schestowitz__ | with population up to 300 | Sep 10 21:23 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | tor is cancer | Sep 10 21:24 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | if I2P wasnt writeen in java though | Sep 10 21:24 |
| schestowitz__ | tor is rot backwards | Sep 10 21:24 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | bahah nice ROT | Sep 10 21:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz__: What you pay for a "last mile" ISP like Comcrap is so ridiculous that having it bundled with the rent at the hotel is like a $50 value add. | Sep 10 21:24 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | kovri is interesting | Sep 10 21:25 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | at least on good thing cryptoproduced | Sep 10 21:25 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | I2P rewrite in C++ | Sep 10 21:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You end up paying $600 a year for home internet and then it's not even fast because they step on it and Youtube even buffers. | Sep 10 21:25 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | invidious | Sep 10 21:25 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | ^^ not youtube | Sep 10 21:26 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | much better | Sep 10 21:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then there's the electric and gas. Included. | Sep 10 21:26 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights- ( status 503 @ https://gitlab.com/users/sign_in ) | Sep 10 21:26 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | With heat and air conditioning, that's like $150 a month averaged out on a studio. | Sep 10 21:27 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | go live in nature | Sep 10 21:27 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | coastal BC | Sep 10 21:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So right there you're $200 in just on utilities, and so you really aren't doing better. | Sep 10 21:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Oh my god, these apartments sometimes charge you $500 just to ask and you don't get it back if they say no. | Sep 10 21:28 |
| MinceR | is kovri compatible with i2p? | Sep 10 21:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That adds up if you get 3 or 4 nos and have to live at the hotel anyway. | Sep 10 21:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | We may just end up living here until after the government makes their decision on his green card and then move to Indiana. | Sep 10 21:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's $400 a month there for a place bigger than this. | Sep 10 21:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's Indiana, but.....Hey, they have Walmarts in Indiana. So many people strung out on drugs that as long as you're not on drugs you can find a job. | Sep 10 21:30 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | kind of MinceR but there is a project called https://sekreta.org from kovri creators to try to create a compatible layer between all protocols clearnet, tOR, GNUnet, I2P, kovri etc | Sep 10 21:30 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Projects · sekreta / sekreta · GitLab | Sep 10 21:30 | |
| MinceR | interesting | Sep 10 21:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: I'm guessing the drugs problem in Hungary is bad. | Sep 10 21:30 |
| MinceR | probably, but most of it is hidden | Sep 10 21:31 |
| MinceR | because people pretend that ethanol and tobacco are not drugs | Sep 10 21:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Home Depot here says "We test for drugs, so if you use drugs, don't apply.". | Sep 10 21:31 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | was annoying though because code was under apache license and now after abandoning it the main dev relicensed under BSD3clause | Sep 10 21:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You get drug tested at some point, with consequences, if you try to do anything legitimate in the US. | Sep 10 21:32 |
| MinceR | and, as usual, the government maintains criminal activity by banning, persecuting and stigmatizing the others | Sep 10 21:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Either you'll get fired or the state will put you on probation and wait for you to go fuck this and test positive for something eventually. | Sep 10 21:32 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | drug problem is much bigger in north america though, you see much more misery | Sep 10 21:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's a one way ticket to ending up back in court with your probation officer trying to send you to jail. | Sep 10 21:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you're going to test dirty at your intake, it's better to just admit it than lie about it and then fail the drug test. | Sep 10 21:33 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | yeah the warondrugs was a stopid policy | Sep 10 21:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They can put down that you had something in your system and were honest about it and say "Clean yourself up or you'll go to court next time.". | Sep 10 21:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It looks better to the judge later that you admitted it and that you cleaned up than "We're back in court a week later because he lied.". | Sep 10 21:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Oh, and you're sitting in jail all that week. :) | Sep 10 21:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <_I3^RELATIVISM "yeah the warondrugs was a stopid"> It is. People game it. | Sep 10 21:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They wait for the random drug test, pass it, and then smoke like there's no tomorrow over the weekend, and then clean up for the next one. | Sep 10 21:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | John said that's what TSA officers do. | Sep 10 21:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Since the next random one is probably at least 3 months away, plenty of time to clean up. | Sep 10 21:36 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | portugal was a sucess story on fighting drugs | Sep 10 21:36 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | treating it like kind of a diseas | Sep 10 21:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | TSA is reluctant to fire anyone, honestly. They had a pervert that John told me about that was feeling people up and going "My, you're well endowed." or "Spread em!". | Sep 10 21:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So they moved him to third shift and wrote him up and said it was his last chance (He was on his first year so they could have just fired him at the first instance, but didn't. | Sep 10 21:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He waits for some woman with big boobs to come through and grabs them and says "Squeeze squeeze!" and that's when they got rid of him. | Sep 10 21:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <_I3^RELATIVISM "treating it like kind of a disea"> The US is starting to go that way in some states. | Sep 10 21:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Like, there's drug diversion courts, but it's mostly another way to be racist. | Sep 10 21:39 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | nice | Sep 10 21:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's a felony if you're black. | Sep 10 21:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you're white, check yourself in somewhere and bring us a note. | Sep 10 21:39 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | drugs is so widespread in northamerica | Sep 10 21:39 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | was kind of a suprise to me | Sep 10 21:39 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | like all major towns | Sep 10 21:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | John had a friend in Fort Wayne named Rob Holocher. | Sep 10 21:40 |

| DaemonFC[m] | The guy went into a CVS pharmacy, filled a prescription in his own name. | Sep 10 21:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Used the ATM with his own debit card. | Sep 10 21:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then he came back in, dressed exactly the same, with no disguise on. | Sep 10 21:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Told the pharmacist he had a gun and he wanted Oxycontin. | Sep 10 21:41 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | shit | Sep 10 21:41 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | that is crazy, you talking about the richest country in the world! | Sep 10 21:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's in the news in Fort Wayne if you google it. | Sep 10 21:41 |
| _I3^RELATIVISM | so much disparity | Sep 10 21:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, but Rob's dad is rich. | Sep 10 21:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So they got him a good lawyer, judge gives him diversion (rehab and eligible for expungement). | Sep 10 21:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He checked into rehab, but then decided he didn't want to be there, so he escaped, violated probation, and ended up in prison. After his dad was out $20,000 in legal bills. | Sep 10 21:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | All you had to do is not fuck up and say their shit for 3 months and you were out of there. Now he's in the slammer for 5-7 years. | Sep 10 21:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I liked the movie version of A Scanner Darkly where Bob is giving a Just Say No speech in Orange County, California. | Sep 10 21:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He's in the scramble suit and mutes it and tells his supervisor "I have a mental block on this because it's bullshit." and the guy says "Just turn the microphone back on and say the shit.". | Sep 10 21:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | "Repeat after me. We will hunt these terrorists down and wherever they go our retribution will be swift and severe.". | Sep 10 21:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The government itself turned Bob into an addict to get him into the rehab clinic as a mole. | Sep 10 21:47 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It turned out that the rehab people were using the brain damaged Substance D addicts as slave labor to produce more Substance D. | Sep 10 21:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Right under the nose of the criminal justice system that was sending them there. | Sep 10 21:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's really not so different from what rehab really is. They give people narcotics to bring them down from an addiction to narcotics. Both made by the same pharmaceutical companies. | Sep 10 21:50 |

| DaemonFC[m] | And then you leave with a really awful medical bill from the rehab clinic. | Sep 10 21:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I've been committed twice due to severe untreated bipolar disorder, and they stick you in with drug addicts too, so they're giving you antipsychotics and they're giving them methadone. | Sep 10 21:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There is no getting out until you take the stuff. | Sep 10 21:51 |
| Ariadne | i've never had this experience, thankfully | Sep 10 21:51 |
| Ariadne | i don't think i would fare too well in a psych ward | Sep 10 21:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I never did pay either bill. I threw them in the bankruptcy, even 12 and 18 years later. | Sep 10 21:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Even though they couldn't collect. Just as a middle finger to them. | Sep 10 21:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They both got copies of the court order that says it's illegal to try to collect or to even talk to me about it again. | Sep 10 21:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If they send me a letter about it, I can open up the bankruptcy again and sue them. | Sep 10 21:53 |

| DaemonFC[m] | The bankruptcy discharge basically is a "financial death" followed by a new financial life. It's the end of your person as far as debts accumulated before the bankruptcy. | Sep 10 21:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It creates an "estate" with certain exemptions, sort of like dying, but it leaves you with just enough to emerge and live. | Sep 10 21:54 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's intended to be a last resort for when things are so bad that there is no way to fix it and your debt situation would effectively create a slave situation out of you indefinitely. | Sep 10 21:55 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Unfortunately, we have a medical system that ensures that about 3-5% of the population of the US would go bankrupt every year even without credit cards, mortgages, or car loans. | Sep 10 21:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So it's hardly uncommon. | Sep 10 21:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Some people never have enough assets to be worth filing bankruptcy. | Sep 10 21:57 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you're on Social Security or take a paper paycheck and cash it somewhere, it can be impossible to collect if someone sues. | Sep 10 21:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I didn't see Austin's house for a while until near the end, but he had a safe bolted into the floor. | Sep 10 21:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Well, you have enough judgment creditors, you gotta do what you gotta do. Half of it were these ridiculous student loans, so bankruptcy wouldn't clear enough of it to matter. | Sep 10 21:59 |
| schestowitz__ | 35.5% of the world's "active" #covid19 cases are now in the US and if you manage to survive this "active" case (can still be RE-infected), medical bills will finish your life | Sep 10 22:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <TechrightsBot-tr "truthout.org | Trump Told Bob Wo"> schestowitz__: Yep. While he was telling his supporters to ridicule Democrats and people who were trying to stay safe because "It's just a flu!", he was already briefed that it was about 5 times worse than the flu. | Sep 10 22:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz__: Yes, on tape admitting he was briefed in February that it was 5x deadlier than the flu, but that he intentionally duped people to "avoid panic". It doesn't get much more damning than this, but he's convinced so many of his Useful Idiots to ignore facts that they'll just refuse to pbelieve it. | Sep 10 22:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Duping people on COVID. Calling soldiers who died in battle "losers". | Sep 10 22:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There should really be nobody left who could possibly bring themselves to vote for this guy ever again. | Sep 10 22:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Electoral-Vote dot com is usually pretty close on what the final election results are by this point. | Sep 10 22:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The 2016 maps had a lot of close polls and Gary Johnson and Jill Stein were adding a lot of noise. | Sep 10 22:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's pretty obvious to me that a lot of the third party votes that did happen came right out of Hillary Clinton's tally. | Sep 10 22:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm reading this a lot differently this year. For starters, Biden has the strongest lead over the other candidate in any election in the last 20 years except for Obama in 2008. | Sep 10 22:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Secondly, there's several hundred elected Republicans who have endorsed Biden because they said that Trump is too awful to live with, and that includes most of the cabinet from George W. Bush's administration. Meanwhile, the only Democrats two have endorsed Trump are some state legislator in Michigan who claims that hydroxychloroquine cured her Coronavirus, and Joe Lieberman, what an asshole. | Sep 10 22:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's clear that Trump's base is people who have luxury yachts to hoist Trump flags from and die hard idiots and redneck racists. | Sep 10 22:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Whatever passed as intellect in the conservative movement has officially seceded and joined the Democratic Party. | Sep 10 22:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Granted that there wasn't that much there to begin with, but what there was which gave Trump the benefit of the doubt in 2016 is just as disgusted and horrified as the rest of us. He's obviously losing them. | Sep 10 22:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The states that are all so far tilted towards Trump where Biden has no chance are the usual suspects. | Sep 10 22:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Very few electoral votes. Not much of a base to start out with. | Sep 10 22:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Texas has been polling as a statistical tie. | Sep 10 22:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So have Iowa, Ohio, North Carolina, and Georgia. (Trump won all of them last time). | Sep 10 22:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Meanwhile, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Florida and Arizona (all of which Trump won last time) are between 4 and 9 points towards Biden in an average of recent polls. | Sep 10 22:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So it's a steep hill for Trump to climb. He has a lot of lopsided states (by popular vote) without much influence in the electoral college, a lot that he needs that could go either way (and some which would normally never consider a Democrat), and half a dozen states that are probably going to vote for Biden. | Sep 10 22:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If it's a fair election, Trump has about a 15-20% chance of overcoming all of this. | Sep 10 22:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He's already eyeballing the coming loss and getting his supporters riled up to reject the outcome. | Sep 10 22:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | His campaign has also been just terrible managing money. | Sep 10 22:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Including the ultimate WTF of dumping $2 million into TV ads in DC, which went 94% for Hillary Clinton last time. | Sep 10 22:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's the loss you incur when you have to have your ego stroked all the time and your campaign manager spends $2 million to make you happy when you see your own TV ads and get to smell your own farts. | Sep 10 22:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | To make things worse, his campaign's database is so bad that he's spending at least a few dollars per voter sending them luxurious campaign mail, including "MAGA Gold Cards", many of which went to lifelong Democrats who hate his guts and went to laugh about it on the news. | Sep 10 22:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then there were $11 million for two ads (two ads) on the Superbowl in January that nobody even remembers. | Sep 10 22:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And a television blitz in April and May while the Coronavirus was mowing people down 2,000 a day and everyone was trapped in the house. | Sep 10 22:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So he raised $1.1 billion and blew through 76% of it already. | Sep 10 22:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | His campaign hasn't told anyone what he raised in August, but a campaign email acknowledged that Biden raised $367 million in one month and begged his supporters for more money. | Sep 10 22:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz__: I'm just really frugal. | Sep 10 22:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I even turn aluminum foil over and use the clean side. | Sep 10 22:40 |

| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz__ the 50% restaurant capacity isn't hurting the Chinese restaurant that much. | Sep 10 23:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They got cheap rent in a discount mall and they have about twice as many tables as they need during peak hours anyway. | Sep 10 23:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'll bet they're glad to have that location now. | Sep 10 23:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They just took the chairs out from every other table. | Sep 10 23:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Last time I was there, I commented that a zig zag pattern would make the most sense to enforce social distancing. | Sep 10 23:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They did that this week. | Sep 10 23:37 |
