If they start trying to break it down, it gives me time to grab a gun out of the safe, load it, and shoot them. If I have to. Meanwhile, they'd be out there for 10 or 15 minutes making a hell of a lot of noise. And they'll be a lot better off if the police get 'em first.

[19:04] DaemonFC It's harder to break a stick in a bundle. [19:05] DaemonFC For any site that doesn't require you to log in, or else it won't work at all, that's already not a terrible idea. [19:06] DaemonFC Facebook has a Hidden Service on Tor, amusingly enough. [19:06] DaemonFC The purpose is not privacy, it's to evade bans targeting Facebook in entire countries. [19:07] DaemonFC The government sees Facebook as an endless source of information. People are informing on themselves all the time. They admit to crimes or at least leave evidence laying around everywhere. [19:08] DaemonFC The feds have arrested and pursued charges against 765 people according to the last article I read, regarding January 6th. [19:08] DaemonFC But their evidence is mostly people carrying their cell phones on them while they were in the buildings and taking pictures of themselves where they should not have been and posting them to Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. [19:09] DaemonFC After that, in a far distant second, is the always popular "people who didn't like them calling the police to say 'hey, that's him!'". [19:09] DaemonFC Everyone out there has enemies. [19:10] DaemonFC Enemies that will use anything they can to hurt them with. [19:10] DaemonFC In at least one case, it was a battered woman in North Carolina that the local cops weren't doing anything about her husband. [19:11] DaemonFC So she calls the feds and reports him for being in the riot, and they haul him off, and she goes to divorce court and he can't respond because he's in jail. [19:12] DaemonFC Then, they go and look at all of the state mugshot and motor vehicle department records, matching faces. [19:12] kingoffrance well the funny part is they call people "keyboard warriors" [19:12] DaemonFC So there's not much you can do about some ways in which the government can find and attack you and gather evidence, but there are some things you can do. [19:12] kingoffrance looks like that's the cops [19:13] kingoffrance its meant to provoke ppl [19:13] DaemonFC They could have not been there, obviously, but they could have also worn a handkerchief and some sunglasses and not bragged on social control media, and not taken their phone. [19:14] DaemonFC Pride goeth before a fall..... [19:14] DaemonFC People who want to gloat and don't think they'll get in trouble generally don't plan for not being in trouble later. [19:15] DaemonFC Obscuring their faces would have taken away the ability to point and say "That was me! I was there! I did that!". [19:15] DaemonFC So empty boasting is getting these people months or years in jail. [19:16] DaemonFC Trump is now dangling pardons, maybe, three years from now. But their sentence will be carried out before then. And he could have pardoned them all in one letter for 14 days in January of last year, and didn't. [19:17] kingoffrance part of politicianing is surely offer solutions to problems you create [19:17] DaemonFC Pardons don't actually do much for you after the sentence is over with. Like, I could write the Governor of Illinois asking for a pardon, and if somehow I got one, all it would do is qualify me for a records expungement. [19:17] DaemonFC Which I already have as part of my plea deal. [19:19] DaemonFC And taking a pardon is admitting that you were guilty, which is worse than where I'm already at, because I plead no contest, which legally means I do not admit guilt, I'm just agreeing to accept punishment because I probably couldn't win outright in court. [19:19] DaemonFC part of politicianing is surely offer solutions to problems you create [19:20] DaemonFC Yeah, but I'd just recommend getting an expungement if you don't already have a criminal record dating back before the incident. [19:20] DaemonFC Taking one admits you were wrong. When the government offers one, it's almost always political. [19:20] DaemonFC Like, the UK offered pardons to people convicted of homosexuality, and many rejected the pardons. Refused to take them. [19:21] DaemonFC LIke, "Fuck you. I didn't do anything wrong. Keep your stupid pardon!". [19:21] DaemonFC But they also grant them to people who are dead, who they know can't refuse them and make a statement about why they refused one [19:22] DaemonFC They drove Alan Turing to commit suicide after forcing chemical sterilization on him, for the convenience of society at the time. Holding him to their standards. [19:22] DaemonFC Then years after he killed himself, oh here's a pardon. You're still guilty, but here's a pardon. [19:23] DaemonFC It's always easier to give pardons to dead people, so it's what usually happens. They don't want an incident. [19:23] DaemonFC The UK pardoned Turing for being driven to suicide by the state. How magnanimous of them. [19:24] DaemonFC Trump gave one to women who were found guilty of voting. [19:24] DaemonFC Like, let's just rip open old wounds. [19:25] DaemonFC Next, naturally, is a pardon for slaves who were guilty of escaping and violating the Fugitive Slave Act, I guess. [19:25] DaemonFC The irony of pardoning people for violating unjust laws, and thus finding them guilty with no further recourse, is lost on idiot politicians who are almost always conservatives. [19:26] DaemonFC In their minds, they bury the hatchet, because they have no deep understanding of the legal system, or they hope their voters don't.

[19:44] DaemonFC My only guess is the IRS isn't happy getting all of these 1099 statements because someone had $1 worth of activity or something. [19:45] DaemonFC But the tax laws require it. So they're probably asking Congress to make it stop in those cases. [19:46] DaemonFC The IRS has never particularly wanted to spend time untangling miscellaneous income under $600 a year from any particular source. So they don't require a 1099 for most things that bring in less than that. [19:46] DaemonFC You still have to report it, but typically you don't get a 1099-MISC about it. [19:47] DaemonFC If you get a 1099 from anyone, you need to attach it because the IRS got the information too. [19:48] DaemonFC For most individual filers, W-2, 1099-MISC, 1099-INT, 1099-B, and 1099-C are the most likely forms they'll encounter at some point. [19:49] DaemonFC Many people don't realize it, but agreeing to settle an old collections account for less than full value is probably a bad idea. Especially if it's so old that it won't be possible to sue over if they continue to not acknowledge the debt. [19:50] DaemonFC Say you have a $20,000 bill from the hospital. You live in Indiana and the statute on lawsuits is 6 years. It's been 8 years. You get a bill in the mail from a collection agency saying they'll settle it today for $8,000. [19:50] DaemonFC So you send them the $8,000. Next January you get a 1099-C for $12,000 of canceled debt (or maybe more if the collection agency claimed to have added interest and then "forgave" the interest it made up). [19:51] DaemonFC Then you owe the IRS taxes on $12,000+ of additional income for the year and you have a tax problem, on top of the $8,000 the collection agency got. All for something they could never have collected on if you just hung up or threw the bill in the trash. [19:52] DaemonFC The collection agency is laughing at you because they got more than they paid for the account, which was probably $100 or less if other debt collectors had long since given up on it and sold it as unrecoverable debt. [19:53] DaemonFC The IRS is happy because you have taxable income. [19:53] DaemonFC The government has no reason to fix healthcare.

[19:54] DaemonFC So folks with a $100,000 hospital bill may be threatened that they can settle for $30,000 or be sued, so they settle and try to start making payments, and then they get a 1099-C in January for $70,000 in additional income, and now owe the IRS $14,000. [19:55] DaemonFC Those ads on the radio about the IRS fresh start plan where you wonder how an electrician or a plumber or a nurse gets in that deep with the IRS.....happens to my mother almost every year. [19:55] DaemonFC She has some hospital after her and "settles" and gets a 1099-C. [19:56] DaemonFC Then the IRS notices that there's thousands of dollars in 1099-C income she didn't report, and they DO investigate that. [19:56] DaemonFC Then she gets a letter stating they're correcting her tax return and how would she like to pay them... [19:57] DaemonFC If it's something that's relatively small (up to several thousand dollars), they just want the money and usually don't go after it as a criminal offense. [19:57] DaemonFC But nobody likes interest and penalties. [19:58] DaemonFC My mom's ex was going on and on about how the IRS "cheated him" out of his money.

Like speeding, no insurance, and invalid plates. [20:02] DaemonFC Most states don't have the list. So what some people do is they buy 7 day insurance policies so they can get their plate renewed, let it lapse, and drive the rest of the year without insurance. [20:03] DaemonFC A guy I worked with did one better. [20:03] DaemonFC He printed out a fake car insurance card on his computer at home and took it to the DMV to get his plates renewed. [20:04] DaemonFC I told him, "You know, that might work until you hit someone and the cops go to run it and find out that not only is it fake, but that you presented counterfeit documents to government agency. [20:04] DaemonFC Also, they could hit you with making false statements to the police. [20:04] DaemonFC If they pull you over and ask if you're insured and you say yeah and hand them that.

[20:08] DaemonFC Because the barrel length was too short, and the prosecutor probably knew it. [20:09] DaemonFC Granted it wasn't the most serious charge, but it shows you how the state does things. They pile up charges even when they know for sure some won't stick if it goes to court. [20:09] bnchs whats the deal with Kyle Rittenhouse [20:10] DaemonFC That charge was thrown out by the judge because the letter of the law said it wasn't illegal for him to have a rifle like that. [20:10] DaemonFC Then the jury found him not guilty of the rest. [20:10] DaemonFC Wisconsin's self-defense law applied.

[20:11] DaemonFC Because at least 1/12 jurors will probably see that when people show up to commit riot and try to take your lawfully possessed gun from you, and you shoot them, well..... [20:11] DaemonFC Would that juror have done anything differently? [20:12] DaemonFC So you're doing a jury trial, you play things a little differently than when you're at a bench trial. [20:12] DaemonFC You argue the law of course, but you also add an emotional element. [20:13] bnchs i don't get, what did he do [20:13] DaemonFC When that guy that mugged me pleaded out, the prosecutor read off a summary of what he would have argued to a jury, including my account of what the attacker told me. [20:14] DaemonFC "Give me everything in your pockets, right now! We're not fucking with you! Everything in your pockets or you're dead!". [20:14] DaemonFC i don't get, what did he do [20:14] bnchs i mean Kyle [20:15] DaemonFC His account was that he was there to help defend private property from looters, rioters, arsonists, etc. [20:15] DaemonFC That while he was there, and open carry is legal in Wisconsin btw, that some of the rioters attacked him and tried to gain control of his rifle. [20:15] DaemonFC And that at this point he had to shoot them. [20:16] DaemonFC The one that lived, Gage Grosskreutz, has a long criminal history. [20:16] DaemonFC Including domestic violence and lots of drunk driving, including one incident where the entire bodycam footage of a DUI incident got posted to Facebook. [20:16] DaemonFC He tried to sue but I doubt that's going anywhere. [20:17] DaemonFC A criminal jury found Rittenhouse not guilty, so that's not evidence. In fact, it's evidence Rittenhouse can use to the contrary. [20:17] DaemonFC Further, while Grosskreutz was injured, he was committing a crime, for which the state declined to prosecute him. [20:18] DaemonFC Most reasonable people would agree that when you are engaged in crime, it's at your own risk. [20:18] DaemonFC This is how certain people rack up 40-50-100 offenses. [20:19] DaemonFC Because it takes a certain kind of person to ignore EVERY regulation and law and court order that they just don't feel like complying with, and that just leads to trouble every time they let you out.

[20:20] DaemonFC Then sit down and think long and hard about if you want to break that law. [20:20] DaemonFC It's never worth it. [20:21] DaemonFC Most of these criminals that go in and rob a store and it all goes wrong over $137..... I mean, come on. [20:21] DaemonFC You could earn that much money in one shift at McDonalds. [20:22] DaemonFC But you went in there with an illegal handgun, discharged it, shot the cashier, and escaped for all of an hour with $137. And now there's 6 charges on the docket. [20:23] DaemonFC Instead of 8 hours of your life for $137, you spend 20 years in prison. [20:23] DaemonFC So these folks lack a certain perspective.

[20:30] DaemonFC In return, it makes it even easier than ever for the government to fuck with you, because they can say "It's for the children.". [20:30] DaemonFC Including taking your kids from you and putting them in an even worse living situation where the foster parents kill your children, and then you sue the state and find out it has sovereign immunity and is not responsible for that. [20:32] DaemonFC Every year, when you file taxes, you ask the government for the EITC to get a few hundred bucks to help with the expenses. [20:32] DaemonFC And asking for the credit makes you 1,000 times more likely to have your tax return audited, [20:33] DaemonFC The government does nothing to help you. In fact, to run up the stock market they dump trillions of fake dollars into the system, causing baby formula to spike to $60 per jar, and then they put it behind locked plexiglass at Walmart. [20:34] *u-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!) [20:34] DaemonFC Meanwhile, your rent goes up 27% per year, and was already quite bad because you can't really live with kids in a one bedroom apartment, and each bedroom adds $200-300. [20:34] bnchs remember the New Jersey Childproof Handgun Law [20:34] DaemonFC Yeah. [20:35] bnchs and people threatening gun stores for trying to sell smart guns [20:35] DaemonFC Illinois requires each gun sold to have a trigger lock.

[20:36] bnchs even though i never used a gun before, i find smart guns to be bullshit [20:36] DaemonFC If you do want to prevent the gun from firing, but want to access it in a timely manner yourself, getting a revolver and a lock that prevents the cylinder from closing is an option. [20:37] DaemonFC The NRA is against "smart" guns. [20:37] bnchs like the Armatix iP1 [20:37] DaemonFC One of the reasons is because if a man is really violent towards his partner, he can lock HER out of the gun. [20:37] DaemonFC So he can shoot her, but she has no chance of picking it up and shooting him. [20:37] bnchs you have to have a bracelet or some shit [20:38] DaemonFC There's an easy way to keep from being shot with your gun. [20:38] DaemonFC We can call it the Rittenhouse Method.

[23:04] MinceR and in general, abrahamism has a big hand in humans being confused about morality [23:04] DaemonFC Even back then they suggested we were on the verge of a major breakthrough. There's actually been more progress in HIV research than Alzheimer's, although again, it's basically running on a treadmill. [23:05] XRevan86 MinceR: It's like when the Fourth Doctor suddenly decides that genocide against the Daleks is actually bad, actually. But no remorse ever again :). [23:05] DaemonFC With HIV they have a bunch of drugs that are quite different from each other, but all suppress the virus. And it's good that there's more drugs, in case of treatment resistance, but it's still running in place. [23:05] DaemonFC They've gotten better at viral suppression and limiting negative side effects. [23:05] DaemonFC And that's good. [23:06] DaemonFC You can live as long as you would have otherwise, in most cases, but it will cost you, or someone. [23:07] XRevan86 MinceR: But that's a bad example. Usually it's more like sparing Hitler to let him cause WW2. [23:08] MinceR :> [23:08] XRevan86 before that killing thousands of military Germans. [23:09] DaemonFC I think Russia will invade Ukraine, the US will not do a damned thing about it, and that Zelenskyy will be hanged for everyone to see, or will flee the country. [23:09] DaemonFC "Sanctions" that affect XRevan86 and not Putin will happen. [23:09] XRevan86 DaemonFC: I think that assessment is trash. [23:11] XRevan86 For one thing, the US is fear mongering right now and get more and more guns and all sorts of help to Ukraine. [23:12] XRevan86 For another, Russia is also pretty much just messing with NATO to get some strange assurances. [23:13] MinceR what i don't get is why people don't understand that this policy of appeasement doesn't work, it never did [23:13] XRevan86 Russia screwed itself over with these "exercises". [23:13] XRevan86 MinceR: The German one? [23:13] MinceR that too [23:16] XRevan86 MinceR: Time is working against Russia, so don't worry, stalling does help. [23:16] MinceR time is working against all life on Earth [23:16] XRevan86 Life was once simple and perfect, but then time happened. [23:16] kingoffrance missed stalin pun there :/ [23:16] MinceR :> [23:18] XRevan86 Just put in some stalling. [23:19] XRevan86 Not sure what's not working against Russia in all this situation.

[23:44] MinceR \_()_/ [23:44] MinceR depends on how stupid hungarians are and how long until orban kicks the bucket [23:44] Skywave hello MinceR [23:44] MinceR and i guess on how hard he's cheating and how much his bosses are helping him at it [23:44] XRevan86 Putin did dump a load of cash onto Hungary, but that doesn't always end in a country's loyalty. [23:44] MinceR hi [23:45] MinceR i don't think putler can afford to buy hungary's loyalty [23:45] MinceR he's competing with the EU and with red china [23:45] XRevan86 Because when a dictator is overthrown, suddenly the new government doesn't give a crap about Putin's love towards the former regime. [23:45] MinceR russia's GDP just isn't there [23:47] XRevan86 MinceR: Belarus' owes Russia more than $8 billion [23:47] XRevan86 and that's 2019 numbers [23:47] XRevan86 In 2020 and 2021 Russia gave some more billions.
