[02:34] schestowitz[TR2] Do you find yourself always wanting to control everything and not being able to let go?

[02:34] schestowitz[TR2] * Being able to embrace imperfection: Encouraging a mindset shift towards accepting imperfections and mistakes as opportunities for growth and learning. [02:34] schestowitz[TR2] * Better Time Management skills: Strategies to prioritize tasks and delegate when necessary, reducing the need to control every aspect of a situation.

[03:04] schestowitz[TR2] who now? [03:04] schestowitz[TR2] mom? [03:04] DaemonFC I managed to get a law in Indiana struck down once.

[03:04] DaemonFC Did I mention that? [03:04] schestowitz[TR2] no [03:04] DaemonFC I did it myself. [03:04] schestowitz[TR2] [03:05] DaemonFC The Indiana legislature had to quickly replace the Medicaid law because a judge ruled that the one it had violated the supremacy clause of the United States Constitution. [03:05] DaemonFC That was my case. [03:06] DaemonFC There was one problematic sentence in the law. [03:06] DaemonFC They were using it to deny Medicaid to tens of thousands of people. [03:06] DaemonFC This was even before the ACA expansion. [03:06] schestowitz[TR2] Brandon Lobster [03:06] schestowitz[TR2] try to ban this person from the abused "court" [03:06] schestowitz[TR2] if fed false information [03:07] schestowitz[TR2] they can even take more severe action [03:07] schestowitz[TR2] against disabled [sic] people too [03:07] schestowitz[TR2] who claim to be autistic [03:07] schestowitz[TR2] they might not want the bad PR [03:07] schestowitz[TR2] "court bans autistic person" [03:07] schestowitz[TR2] but still [03:07] schestowitz[TR2] being autistic does not entitle you to do this [03:08] schestowitz[TR2] [08:08] ? [03:08] schestowitz[TR2] [08:08] no. [03:08] schestowitz[TR2] [08:08] stalker and harasser of MinceR [03:08] schestowitz[TR2] that one is long gone [03:08] schestowitz[TR2] maybe realised time was being wasted here [03:08] DaemonFC The one that comes in and says random strings of curse words in Hungarian. [03:08] schestowitz[TR2] in SoylentNews they have troll attacks also [03:08] schestowitz[TR2] but those stopped recently [03:08] DaemonFC MinceR said that he didn't even speak Hungarian. [03:08] schestowitz[TR2] esp. after they raised money [03:08] schestowitz[TR2] like 4 grand [03:08] DaemonFC It was very Google Translate-ish [03:09] schestowitz[TR2] yes, maybe him being irckkkop leads to it [03:09] schestowitz[TR2] kaniini also got targeted by people freenode banned [03:09] schestowitz[TR2] being freenode staff means lots of abuse from people you ban [03:09] schestowitz[TR2] they even register domains with your name [03:09] DaemonFC I am frequently called a "Nazi" by these people. [03:10] schestowitz[TR2] imposters [03:10] schestowitz[TR2] you are far from nazi [03:10] schestowitz[TR2] they just cheapen the term [03:10] DaemonFC The real Nazis might have something to say about a gay man married to a "non-Aryan". [03:10] schestowitz[TR2] meanwhile they spread nazi idealogy themselves [03:11] DaemonFC Nazis relied on a lot of Scientific Frauds to perpetuate their ideas and legitimize their actions. [03:11] DaemonFC One of these is that there are "inherent inferiorities" in certain races, most races. [03:12] DaemonFC It is a fact that negative social indicators lead where they lead in CDC and FBI reports, however.... [03:12] DaemonFC This is not an indicator of racial/genetic inferiority. [03:12] DaemonFC There are lots of factors at play. Cultural, educational, and yes, even some structural racism. [03:13] DaemonFC There are no simple answers for how to fix this. [03:13] DaemonFC Part of it is self-improvement, part of it is rooting out racism from our institutions. [03:13] DaemonFC And none of that will be easy. [03:13] DaemonFC And certainly sending people "reparations checks" isn't going to fix any of the underlying problems. [03:13] DaemonFC Where does a bankrupt government go to get said checks anyway? [03:14] DaemonFC Perhaps it should invest that money in better schools. [03:14] DaemonFC Maybe is should invest that money into better police training and outreach programs, [03:14] DaemonFC Maybe they should open up more income-based health clinics. [03:15] DaemonFC One thing we should have learned from the failure of the Welfare State is that money that could be invested in things like this gets handed out instead. [03:16] DaemonFC And then it takes the self-improvement incentives away, it corrodes opportunity, it encourages idleness. [03:16] DaemonFC And what do people do when they are handed something? Well, at the risk of quoting Starship Troopers, "SOMETHING GIVEN HAS NO VALUE!" [03:17] DaemonFC And it doesn't. People go spend it all on television sets and fingernail jobs and marijuana down at the dispensary. [03:17] DaemonFC And none of that leads to anything good. [03:18] DaemonFC And then people start voting for the party that gives them handouts, always terrified that the handouts will stop and they've learned over many years that if the handouts stop, then they'll have to figure it all out, and they're afraid, and that's the point of welfare. To get Democrats elected. [03:19] DaemonFC And they've gotten so good at it that they win elections by throwing around money that's not theirs this way every year, with more programs. [03:19] DaemonFC RMS calls Biden a 1970s Republican, but that's not really fair. [03:20] DaemonFC In the 1970s, the Republicans had multiple factions, more than they do now. They had progressives, they had moderates, they had center-left, they had Ronald Reagan supporters, they had all kinds. [03:21] DaemonFC Right now you have an Oligarch wing that just wants to get together and throw money at defense contractors and banks, and doesn't particularly like Trump, and then you have the Trump wing. [03:21] DaemonFC The Trump wing is kind of this way too, only with some fascist ideology thrown in. [03:22] DaemonFC The Democrats have a couple wings too. [03:22] DaemonFC I would say "1990s Republican" would be one, and that's where Biden comes in. [03:22] DaemonFC The other one would be the "fucking crazy and nasty left". And out of those people, you have some Hamas supporters even because "fucking crazy and nasty". [03:23] DaemonFC Out of all of the people who are actually in Congress, I would probably fit in the best with the "1990s Republican" wing of the Democrats. [03:24] DaemonFC They've evolved on gay rights out of need for votes. [03:24] DaemonFC It's not that many votes, but votes are votes and it doesn't cost the government anything, and corporations don't mind. [03:24] DaemonFC So they've "evolved". Not because they like us, but because they need votes.

[20:56] DaemonFC He studied English at the community college too. That's why I got him the Chromebook during COVID. [20:56] DaemonFC So he could keep studying it. [20:56] DaemonFC For most people, English is a worthless thing to study if they live here and are conversational. [20:57] DaemonFC It's something to put up on the wall but for the most part it'll just cost money. [20:59] DaemonFC It's great to know English. It's almost mandatory for world commerce. [20:59] DaemonFC Many people can at least fall back to it around the world. [20:59] DaemonFC It has most of the technical and scientific words. ● Mar 11 [21:01] DaemonFC China is attacking the English language in Hong Kong because their government is full of brutes who want to control people, and one way of controlling people is to control their way of processing information. If they don't know English, they can't read most of the Free press in the world, they can't read the founding documents of Western Democracy. They can't read the literature, the poetry, they can't do anything like that. [21:01] DaemonFC China wants government diplomats and the wealthy Chinese to speak it so they can conduct business, and that's that. [21:02] DaemonFC And what they are doing to the English language in Hong Kong is a cultural genocide at this point because they've spoken it for so long that it is a distinct part of who they are as a people.

[21:30] DaemonFC Fucking things up and then not giving myself an inch of slack and abusing myself from the other angle. [21:30] DaemonFC Like the Jelly Donut Scene. [21:31] DaemonFC "OH MY GOD, WHAT IS THIS? AN UNLOCKED FOOTLOCKER! IF IT WASN'T FOR DICKHEADS LIKE YOU THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY THIEVERY IN THIS WORLD, WOULD THERE!?" [21:31] DaemonFC Then he dumps it out and find the donut, and punishes everyone else for it while Pyle has to stand there and eat it. [21:32] DaemonFC "They're paying for it! You eat it!" [21:46] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR2]: The problem here with the health insurance companies getting breached is that the government is suggesting band-aid fixes like presuming they'll get breached like that again and making sure payments go out faster. [21:46] DaemonFC Not "get rid of Microsoft and salesfarce". [21:58] DaemonFC MinceR: I'll probably watch the Starship Troopers sequels. I heard they weren't very good though. [21:58] DaemonFC I don't know how that movie didn't do well enough to get theatrical release quality sequels. [21:59] DaemonFC Looking back, it not only held up pretty well but strangely became increasingly relevant. [21:59] DaemonFC Lampooning the novel was obviously the only way to go. ● Mar 11 [22:00] *includeals has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds) [22:00] DaemonFC Instead of glorifying a militaristic society, it sort of goes the other way. It borrows heavily from Nazi propaganda, and on the surface it's just an action movie, but subtext, right? You see it from the beginning, as an adult anyway. [22:01] DaemonFC Everything around them is propaganda. [22:01] DaemonFC The bug meteor is an obvious false flag. [22:01] DaemonFC Their entire society and economy is built on war, so there always has to be an enemy. [22:01] DaemonFC What better enemy than one that's not even human? [22:02] DaemonFC But how do you get everyone to mindlessly support the war? Do something horrible (or at least allow it to happen), and the leadership gets everything it wants. [22:02] DaemonFC The Reichstag Fire, the Gulf of Tonkin incident, McVeigh, 9/11, the government passes horrible unconstitutional laws and everyone goes along with it. [22:03] DaemonFC "There is a threat. We need these new laws. They will keep you safe. Don't think about it! Jews and Communists set the Reichstag on fire! Saddam Hussein has anthrax and there's terrorists in Iraq!" [22:04] *psydroid2 has quit (Quit: KVIrc 5.0.0 Aria http://www.kvirc.net/) [22:04] DaemonFC "Here, have an Aryan card! Everyone needs REAL ID driver's licenses to get on a domestic plane or enter a federal building." [22:04] DaemonFC It's always the same shit. [22:05] DaemonFC The feds found a way to supplant State authority to set driver's license standards. [22:05] DaemonFC If they don't put them in a federal database and make them to federal standards, then Citizens lose their rights to interact with the federal government. [22:06] DaemonFC This is basically Citizenship-stripping Lite.

Doctors push for 'common-sense oncology' | CBC News [22:10] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR2]: "Is keeping you alive worth money to the government? Find out with NATIONAL HEALTHCARE!" [22:10] DaemonFC MinceR: ^ [22:10] DaemonFC :D [22:11] DaemonFC Meanwhile in Canada, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aktion_T4 [22:11] TR Bot Aktion T4 - Wikipedia [22:11] DaemonFC Oh wait. [22:11] DaemonFC My bad. [22:13] DaemonFC The Nazis produced some vile propaganda for their "euthanasia" program. It was not voluntary. [22:13] DaemonFC If you were a burden to the State, they would kill you and call it "euthanasia", or at the very least forcibly sterilize you so you wouldn't pass it along. [22:14] DaemonFC Their propaganda included posters that depicted the terminally ill and disabled as "picking gold right out of other people's pockets". [22:14] DaemonFC It's so wonderful to see Canada doing the same thing. [22:15] DaemonFC Meanwhile, with Canadian Aktion T4 going along, they can find $100,000 a patient to perform unnecessary and medically unethical "operations" on. [22:15] DaemonFC Some people are simply selfish. [22:16] DaemonFC They have no actual health problem and they get plastic surgery at the expense of Canada crushing out some other poor fellow's very life by squandering the money on the plastic surgery instead. [22:16] DaemonFC And using up medical resources that are in short supply due to how little they pay doctors. [22:18] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR2]: Every country with National Healthcare ends up with their version of Aktion T4. [22:18] DaemonFC And they justify it by putting vile propaganda that would make Goebbels himself blush in their "Canadian Public Broadcasting". [22:19] MinceR (X) Doubt [22:19] DaemonFC MinceR: ? [22:19] MinceR you've shown, what, 2 examples of it? [22:19] DaemonFC MinceR: This is how things like that get started. [22:19] DaemonFC "Is it really worth keeping your mother alive? [22:19] DaemonFC "Her life is only a burden." [22:20] DaemonFC "Let the State 'put her to sleep'." [22:20] MinceR there are over 190 sovereign states [22:20] DaemonFC Here's a "gender assignment surgery" for $100,000 that we could have kept your mother alive with, but didn't. [22:21] DaemonFC If the budget is really so bad that they have to choose between a mandatory euthanasia program and gender "reassignment", hmmm. [22:21] DaemonFC I wonder which program should get the boot. [22:22] DaemonFC How many people are being euthanized to cover the other one? [22:22] DaemonFC This is just another example of how corrupt and wicked the left is. [22:22] DaemonFC The right to live is above all else. [22:22] MinceR according to whom? [22:22] DaemonFC Only a person who is completely morally corrupt would say something else. [22:23] DaemonFC MinceR: I believe firmly in the right to live, or die, without coercion from the State. [22:24] MinceR do you beleive that zygotes that are conceived via rape must be brought to term? [22:24] DaemonFC The State should not prevent a person from voluntarily ending their own life, nor should it prod them to do it, nor should it put social pressure on them to do it to "make way for other people with less important things". [22:25] DaemonFC The State should be forced to stay out of it as far as social pressure goes. [22:25] DaemonFC There's a few countries that recognize this concept. [22:25] DaemonFC I think Switzerland does. [22:26] DaemonFC MinceR: Nazis have a forced birth program, and Nazis also have a mandatory "euthanasia" program. [22:26] MinceR also, hitler ate sugar [22:26] DaemonFC They demand lots of children then they kill the ones that don't come out right. [22:26] DaemonFC Or cut off their nuts or something. [22:26] DaemonFC So it's just bad all the way around, isn't it? [22:27] DaemonFC When you start murdering or castrating the ones that "don't come out right", who decides that their life is "worthless"? [22:27] DaemonFC Some government bean counter? Some propagandist agitator? Some person wanting to keep the ones that are fit to join the military and discarding the rest in a Holocaust? [22:27] DaemonFC When does it become wrong? [22:29] DaemonFC I don't believe that abortion should be glorified or that there should be pressure to do it, and I don't think it should be legal in late term. [22:29] DaemonFC Make your decision and do it in a reasonable amount of time. [22:29] DaemonFC And don't brag and smile about it like some fucking Democrat imp. [22:30] DaemonFC Bragging and smiling about abortion shows what a horrible person you are. It should be a very solemn event. Why don't we brag about all of the things we have done that are wrong on some level while we're at it? [22:35] MinceR not forcing life on someone, as an unwanted child, in a flawed body, on a human-infested planet... so wrong.
