[06:20] DaemonFC And instead of understanding people, they get stigmatized. [06:21] DaemonFC Being "swept up in a delusion" isn't the worst thing that could happen. I mean, an android that looks and acts human isn't something you'd have to be embarrassed to be seen in public with. [06:22] DaemonFC There's the argument that such a "companion" could be programmed to surpass any living partner. It wouldn't cheat on you, it wouldn't steal from you, it wouldn't start arguments, it wouldn't get angry if it had to wash the dishes and have food ready. [06:22] DaemonFC Human partners are notoriously....unreliable. [06:23] DaemonFC Some are good. Most are crap. There's some in-between. [06:23] DaemonFC eidolon: One of my exes just got out of prison apparently.

[06:24] eidolon though we see stories like that a lot in sci-fi films now, like Deus Ex Machina type stuff. [06:24] DaemonFC [00:24] that's part of the quandary, they casted a gorgeous woman to play her partly for that reason, I think [06:25] eidolon in the first series from the 60's they really spoonfed the morality of the show in comparison [06:25] DaemonFC Why wouldn't they? It's a companion android. You don't create an expensive machine for that purpose and make it anything except something that's going to make the human male incredibly attracted to it. [06:26] DaemonFC eidolon: As to the swept up in delusion part... [06:26] DaemonFC Remember The Matrix?

One where a fragment of humanity lives in what amounts to "the sewers" after losing the war against the machines so long ago nobody even remembers when. [06:27] DaemonFC It's the same thing at work. [06:28] DaemonFC If you can forget something good is an illusion, who cares if it is?

[23:19] DaemonFC I would have a subtotal of $145.92 on that order with Aldi Pickup, vs. $132.63 which is what I had going inside But also, pickup has a $1.99 fee, so there goes another $2. [23:20] DaemonFC So $147.91 vs. 132.63 subtotal. [23:21] DaemonFC There's also a 1.75% grocery sales tax here. [23:21] DaemonFC 1% for the state and 0.75% for the Regional Transit Authority. [23:21] DaemonFC So you'd pay more in tax online. [23:23] DaemonFC $2.55 in tax online vs. $2.32 in the store. [23:23] DaemonFC So 23 more cents for the government. [23:24] DaemonFC $150.46 online vs. $134.95 in the store. [23:24] DaemonFC So that comes out to $15.51 less on this order in the store. [23:26] DaemonFC 10.4% more (round about, to do online pickup at Aldi. [23:26] DaemonFC On this order. [23:27] DaemonFC $134.95 *0.94, because I get back 6% from American Express, = $126.85 after the AmEx card. [23:28] DaemonFC $8.10 in rebate points.

[23:32] DaemonFC I'm pretty sure we'll hit $6,000 because that's only $500 a month. [23:32] DaemonFC Which is $250 per person. [23:33] DaemonFC I could do that much damage at the store before Biden raised the cost of food 30% with his climate scams and deficit budgets. [23:33] DaemonFC So I certainly can now. [23:34] schestowitz this is not a bidn thing [23:34] schestowitz biden ttthing [23:34] schestowitz it happens internationallyu [23:35] schestowitz unless of course you insist that biden controls food prices in every country in the world [23:35] DaemonFC Yes, because Biden is another UN Agenda 21 Toady. Which makes the US fail in much the same way other countries falling for that shit have. [23:36] DaemonFC The Democrats are globalists who fashion themselves after European and Canadian failed leaders who send the cost of living soaring with their "international" agreements to let China put whatever it wants and however much of whatever it wants into the air, while the rest of us get economic suicide. [23:37] DaemonFC The Paris Scam is basically Kyoto 2.0, in that China can do whatever it wants, India can do whatever it wants, and the rest of the world have to suffer and watch. [23:37] DaemonFC "Reducing emissions by 40%." while China and India and Mexico triple theirs. [23:38] DaemonFC For every coal fired power plant America shuts down, China builds like six of them. [23:38] DaemonFC And they don't have an EPA over there that's real worried about what comes out of those smoke stacks, so they're very inefficient and dirty. [23:39] DaemonFC So they're still mining coal in the US, and they're mining as much of it as they ever have mined. They sell it to countries where the coal we mine is too filthy to be burned in our own country, but those other countries burn it. [23:39] DaemonFC And so it still all gets burned. We're not making any progress, we're just shooting ourselves in the head and making China an even bigger menace than ever before.

[23:41] DaemonFC The Chinese government is too fucking stupid and corrupt to realize that making billions of its own citizens sick is probably not a fantastic idea. [23:41] DaemonFC They are typical Communists in the sense that they think that lying about the air quality index fixes everything. [23:42] DaemonFC It's like the Soviets while Chernobyl exploded and was on fire. Their first order of business was deny it was happening and lock down Pripyat and cut the phone lines.
