Every citizen of the United States is the "militia" according to historical precedent and case law.

[01:34] DaemonFC The first 4-5 seasons of Rick & Morty were pretty good, before Justin Roiland was accused of all sorts of crimes. When the "battery" charges got thrown out, they came back and got him for "rape". [01:34] DaemonFC When the system thinks you got away and it really wants you, it will go make something else up or making hay from something that's not really so bad. Like having sex, with an adult, who changes her mind later and decides it was rape. You know, that's how the world works now. Don't ever be alone in a room with a woman, a child, or a teenager. Never ever be alone in a room with any of them. Ever. [01:34] DaemonFC You know, Gonad's friend Myron's daughter was like 15. She was big old hoebag, anyway, she started hitting on me while I was over there and she wasn't even subtle, and she did it right in front of her mom and dad, Brian, my mother. Then when it didn't work, later she came back down not wearing any underwear and bent over to "tie her shoes" right in front of Brian. I mean, there are some... [01:34] DaemonFC ...twisted people in this world and you can get into some serious shit real easily. [01:34] DaemonFC Of course, with the ready, shoot, aim system and society that starts "canceling" people before anything has been decided, I can't say anything about whether these accusations against Roiland are real. If you have sex with a woman, adult woman, they can just change their mind and revoke the consent three years later and now you're fucked. The allegation that he "talked" to some 16 year olds...

Every time I have to turn on a Windows 10/11 computer I have to worry: Will it want to do updates for the next hour instead of letting me get things done? Will it spend all morning sluggishly scanning for viruses? Will it suddenly show me more advertising that I have to hunt... [05:52] DaemonFC ...down and disable? Will it take away features today that I need to get work done? Will it add unnecessary hoops that I have to jump through to get things done? Will it refuse to boot, making me waste time digging out and restoring a backup? Will it suddenly start BSODing? (happened already) Will it suddenly magically stop recognizing my I/O devices? (also already happened). Will I have to... [05:52] DaemonFC ...re-learn everything all over again?

[08:55] DaemonFC The high rates from the Fed are clearly hurting them. [08:55] DaemonFC They're exposed to car loans that people are defaulting on more often. [08:56] DaemonFC People do try to keep their cars, but everything has a breaking point. [08:57] DaemonFC There's collateral (the cars), but unlike houses, cars lose value the older they get. And so people aren't as keen on trying to save them, unless they have no other way to get to work, and they still have work. [08:58] DaemonFC When a bank does get a car back, it gets very little for it at auction after paying people to repossess it and store it. [08:58] DaemonFC Pretty much the car's entire value disappears in the repo as far as the person who lost it is concerned.

[21:52] DaemonFC The Republican Primary here is weird. [21:53] DaemonFC You have to vote for the candidate, then you have to vote for three of their delegates to the convention and three alternates. [21:53] DaemonFC I have no idea how this could be so badly designed. In Indiana it's just "Which candidate?". [21:53] DaemonFC I guess maybe even if they lose the "winner takes all" they could potentially get a few delegates anyway. [21:55] DaemonFC Technically, you CAN vote for Nikki Haley and then pick Donald Trump's delegates. Or two of Trump's and one of Chris Christie's (even though he quit months ago), or whatever. [21:55] DaemonFC It seems more open for voter error in my opinion. [21:56] DaemonFC You may forget to put your glasses on and then vote for the right candidate and the wrong delegates to send to the convention. [21:56] MinceR i wonder if it's like in Postal2 [21:56] DaemonFC I really wish they would go to a system where every state was a primary, the results were binding, and delegates were awarded proportionally to the votes the candidate got.

[21:57] DaemonFC You wouldn't have to win every state, you'd just have to win some and not lose too badly in others. [21:57] DaemonFC But the parties set the rules for delegate allocation. [21:57] DaemonFC In STATE OF ILL< the results are binding, but it's winner takes all for the majority of delegates. [21:58] DaemonFC I think we have like 67 delegates or something and so that would be 64 is whoever achieves a plurality of the vote, and then 3 are awarded by election of delegates themselves. [21:58] DaemonFC So if you lost the State the best you could do would be to pick up 3 out of 67 delegates. [21:59] DaemonFC But since those are on a Statewide election themselves and it says who the delegates support on the ballot, the winner of the State probably gets all of those too. ● Feb 12 [22:09] DaemonFC MinceR: So a payments app that is owned by PayPal demanded to see my state-issued photo identification to unfreeze the account and shut it down.

[22:13] MinceR indeed [22:13] DaemonFC The liberals imposed them and then set lower standards for "trucks" so then everyone went and bought a truck and the trucks are heavier and pollute more, then more people on bicycles got killed by the trucks because there's more ground clearance and weight and bigger engines. [22:13] DaemonFC And everyone who stayed with cars just kept fixing their old gas guzzler forever because the gas mileage and safety mandates doubled the price of a new car. [22:13] MinceR the EU practically killed city cars off with emission regulations [22:14] MinceR because the more massive a car is, the more forgiving they are [22:17] DaemonFC Right, so you go buy this thing that's as big as a house and about as aerodynamic.

[22:20] DaemonFC Probably explains the banks re-arranging transactions in orders that they were not made in, as well as deliberately finalizing incoming deposits late, in order to "transparently" hit the consumer with as many overdraft fees as possible.

[22:34] *jacobk (~quassel@6wygwq2t5e2hw.irc) has joined #techrights [22:53] DaemonFC schestowitz I suppose if banks set their interest rates too low on savings products, more people will pull their CDs and start purchasing Treasury Bills as the CDs mature, assuming federal debt pays more. [22:53] DaemonFC You get a State tax exemption on those anyway so that helps too. [22:54] DaemonFC There's probably a "not worth bothering with a Treasury account" spread, but it'll be a tight one. [22:54] DaemonFC If your CD offer go down to 4% and a 4 week T-Bill is paying 5%, I mean, people will start buying T-Bills at that point. [22:55] DaemonFC 4 week T-Bills are very short term. It only ties up the money for about a month at a time and they can be scheduled to reinvest. [22:56] DaemonFC The federal debt problem will probably act as a "red line" for what the banks offer. [22:57] DaemonFC Then since the banks will have deposit outflows if the spread becomes too large, bank failures could easily happen if people start tying up their savings in the federal debt instruments. [22:57] DaemonFC Because it will cause a liquidity problem for the banks. [22:57] DaemonFC So they have two choices. Accept lower profits by keeping interest rates competitive, or suffer deposit outflows to more attractive fixed income options. [22:58] DaemonFC So far, they've just obviously taken a look and said "We think we can bump everyone down a quarter point and get away with that. [22:58] DaemonFC That will ease the pressure on their bottom line, but not by much.
