[02:03]	nobody	here they say it's for the children, of cause
[02:03]	nobody	mass-surveillance framework rollout
[02:04]	nobody	EU and related spin-doctored around this, it's merely some evil USian corporations who opposed this
[02:06]	nobody	there's much less invasive options available, such as denying children their mobile phone used in school
[02:06]	nobody	they all must put it into their locker, done.
[02:07]	nobody	and they should have thought about all this, _before_ rolling out billions of shitphones globally
[02:08]	nobody	ironically, notable mass surveillance infrastructure already existed, but it didn't suffice yet to ensure age verification to protect children
[02:09]	nobody	next issue, it's becoming increasingly difficult to participate in society, _without_ a shitphone
[02:10]	nobody	i've never used any myself, rare specimen on earth nowadays
[02:10]	nobody	but still, you must use the modern phone web app cloud crap, otherwise there's no access to online banking possible almost always
[02:10]	nobody	navigating job placement portals, none of this is possible with some posix terminal and text browser at least
[02:11]	nobody	so, they're too handing over total power and control of this to big corporations exclusively
[02:11]	nobody	which were the ones who locked out posix terminals
[02:12]	nobody	reason for this, must be all "darknet", when some things are said in public, on IRC, outside control of banhammers of big tech clown
[02:14]	nobody	it's the combination of factors, digital-id, vendor-lock into corporate clown exclusively, and the necessity to use shitphone web apps
[02:14]	nobody	which gives them total power and control
[02:14]	nobody	they wouldn't need age-verification for this either, it's all there already

[22:32]	TR Bot	 Indiana Senate rejects redistricting bill that Trump demanded
[22:32]	Isambard_Prince	LOL
[22:33]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, The Indiana Senate voted to reject Trump's new Congressional map that would have thrown out two Democrats and given all the seats to Republicans.
[22:33]	Isambard_Prince	"The bill failed in a 19-31 vote, with most Republicans joining Democrats to oppose the measure, which Trump had aggressively lobbied for. The GOP has a 40-vote majority in the 50-member Senate."
[22:33]	MinceR	:>
[22:36]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, Governor JB Pritzker of Illinois warned them that if they passed this, he'd call a special session in Illinois to take all *three* seats from the Republicans.
[22:37]	Isambard_Prince	We can't tell them what to do but we can tell them what we will do, if they do it.

[22:38]	TR Bot	 CBP wants all visitors to install and use its smartphone app Papers, Please!
[22:39]	Isambard_Prince	Yeah, don't install any apps from the government on your phone.
[22:39]	Isambard_Prince	Phones are already bad enough without that.
[22:39]	MinceR	they'll install them for you
[22:39]	MinceR	(pegasus, for example)
[22:40]	Isambard_Prince	The United States warns people that giving up citizenship might make them stateless and then they would "lack the protection of any state".
[22:40]	Isambard_Prince	Congratulations, you are being protected! Please do not resist!
[22:40]	Isambard_Prince	B-)
[22:41]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, I think I've been protected by the state enough for one lifetime. They keep sending out these people in uniforms to point guns at me.
[22:41]	Isambard_Prince	Sometimes 12 in one night.
[22:41]	Isambard_Prince	I'm thinking protection might not mean what we think it means.
[22:42]	MinceR	lol
[22:42]	MinceR	who will protect me _from_ the state?
[22:44]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, I posted (in part) 
[22:44]	Isambard_Prince	"(Fun Fact: I had a person from the government tell me once that if they put "you all" on an island where there was no sex "you'd live". I raised my hand and said "Yeah, and if you put us all on an island where the only food source was unflavored tofu we'd live. What's your point?")"
[22:47]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, There's a reason why there's prison riots over bad food and prisoner who are not gay eventually resort to raping other men.
[22:47]	Isambard_Prince	Bad food and no sex are a recipe for insanity.
[22:48]	Isambard_Prince	So this place was called Job Corps and it's probably just as well that Trump shut it down anyway.
[22:49]	Isambard_Prince	They were using it as a dumping ground for people the courts didn't know what to do with to try to give them employability skills.
[22:49]	Isambard_Prince	But surveys showed over decades that they were no better off with wages or employment figures than people who didn't go and had also gone to high school.
[22:49]	MinceR	human DNA is also a recipe for insanity
[22:49]	Isambard_Prince	Nevertheless, the government continued putting billions of dollars into it every year.
[22:50]	Isambard_Prince	Even as the only things to come out of it were gang activity and rape on the campuses.
[22:51]	Isambard_Prince	Grindr really doesn't work for me. Because I'm not nearly vain and narcissistic and focused on debasement or self-centered pleasure as those people are.
[22:51]	Isambard_Prince	I prefer to be partnered with someone and to worry about whether they're having a good time as well.
[22:52]	Isambard_Prince	<MinceR> human DNA is also a recipe for insanity
[22:52]	Isambard_Prince	It is.
[22:52]	Isambard_Prince	When you're dealing with the government, you're in hell already.
[22:53]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, I told my mother that when the government is obligated to give you a benefit of citizenship, you usually need to wait in line while it takes 18 months to decide something.
[22:53]	Isambard_Prince	But when it wants to hurt you, it will happen in the span of a minute or two.
[22:53]	Isambard_Prince	They can be very efficient when they want to be.
[22:58]	MinceR	yeah
[22:59]	MinceR	also, when they want something from you, you've got to do it in an instant, but when they're supposed to give you some paperwork, they get to sit on it forever
● Dec 11
[23:00]	Isambard_Prince	Yeah, it would be so cool if I could be like the State.
[23:01]	Isambard_Prince	They send you a letter dated May 1st that says they will stop paying your Medicare Premium, it's effective April 30th, and you have until May 14th to respond or it's permanent, and then the post office takes 12 days to deliver a first class letter between two cities in the same state.
[23:02]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, They deliver it on Saturday and your reply is due in their office on someone's desk by Monday.
[23:02]	Isambard_Prince	Then the post office closes at noon because of course they do.
[23:02]	Isambard_Prince	And is not open on Sunday.
[23:02]	Isambard_Prince	So they lock the door and you can't get the letter.
[23:03]	Isambard_Prince	Then Monday is a federal holiday that nobody has ever heard of for some reason and all offices are closed and only government workers get the day off with pay, again.
