| MinceR | > King Trump I's whim is to have in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. | Aug 12 01:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Yes, Illinois sued. | Aug 12 01:39 |
| IsambardPrince | The Supreme Court declared that it was illegal to deploy the National Guard as no situation existed where Trump could argue that State and Federal civilian law enforcement or the courts had "lost control". | Aug 12 01:40 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: "Throw spaghetti at the wall and some of it will stick." | Aug 12 01:40 |
| IsambardPrince | That's Trump's approach. | Aug 12 01:41 |
| MinceR | i don't think he's throwing spaghetti | Aug 12 01:41 |
| IsambardPrince | They don't bother to get memos from the DOJ about whether that's legal or not. | Aug 12 01:41 |
| IsambardPrince | They just do everything that might possibly not be illegal and see what the courts say then comply maliciously. | Aug 12 01:41 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: It's not like I haven't used the Exact Words Trope against a court before. | Aug 12 01:42 |
| IsambardPrince | They issue a "Probation Contract" that's a standard form. | Aug 12 01:42 |
| IsambardPrince | On that form they check boxes that are standard boxes. | Aug 12 01:42 |
| IsambardPrince | On mine they forgot to list "Do not go to bars." | Aug 12 01:43 |
| IsambardPrince | So I walked right into the bar next to the probation office and let the probation officer see it. | Aug 12 01:43 |
| IsambardPrince | Then when she complained and threatened to violate it, I said "They did not check that box." | Aug 12 01:43 |
| IsambardPrince | She said "Well you still shouldn't do it." I said, "Is that a condition?" She said "No, but it's still not a good idea." | Aug 12 01:43 |
| IsambardPrince | So when I exited her office I made sure she saw me go back in. | Aug 12 01:44 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: Part of the Banality of Evil is that Bureaucracies attempt to rule through fear and bluff as much as actual authority. | Aug 12 01:46 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR: Yes. | Aug 12 02:36 |
| IsambardPrince | But they're so cheap from buying in bulk that I just usually stomp it and stick/crush the roach on all sides and chuck it in the garbage. | Aug 12 02:36 |

| IsambardPrince | If I catch nymphs I just leave the trap out until there's either more or dirt and cat hair. | Aug 12 02:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Then I crush and toss. | Aug 12 02:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Those sticky traps are a big roach blood bath. | Aug 12 02:38 |
| IsambardPrince | The CatchMaster brand work very well. | Aug 12 02:38 |
| IsambardPrince | The Black Flag Roach Motel and the RAID Roach Prison do not. | Aug 12 02:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Those ship two to a pack, it's usually $5-6 for just two when you can get about 20 CatchMasters for that price. | Aug 12 02:39 |
| IsambardPrince | And the Roach Motel/Prison design has flaps so the roaches can't easily get into them. | Aug 12 02:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Because they're designed so people don't have to look at dead bugs, not to kill the bugs. | Aug 12 02:40 |
| MinceR | :> | Aug 12 02:40 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: I'm not interested in sending them to a motel. I'm interested in gluing them to a damn board and finishing the job with my foot and trash can. | Aug 12 02:43 |

| IsambardPrince | The Roach Motel/Prison companies tell you to wait until it's full and flip it. | Aug 12 02:51 |
| IsambardPrince | So by making them cost $3 apiece at retail what you're buying is something you can't financially justify getting out of your home until it is full of cockroaches and can't hold much more. | Aug 12 02:51 |
| IsambardPrince | When a company charges you $3 a pop for a plastic box, they are deliberately creating financial friction. They make the trap so expensive that your wallet forces you to keep a box of rotting, egg-dumping, pheromone-bleeding cockroaches inside your living space for weeks just to "get your money's worth". | Aug 12 02:52 |
| IsambardPrince | I can justify replacing a CatchMaster trap with one roach in it because they only cost me 32 cents. | Aug 12 02:53 |
| IsambardPrince | Even if I have to toss 10 of them that's like $3 that month. The Dollar has been battered so badly by Trump and Biden and Trump again that $3 will get you a tiny ass burrito at Taco Bell.' | Aug 12 02:54 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: "Bethesda Game Studios developers staged a striking protest at the companyβs Rockville, Maryland office, putting up a giant inflatable rat ahead of a visit from Microsoft leadership. | Aug 12 03:01 |
| IsambardPrince | The demonstration, organized by members of the Bethesda Game Studios Union (OneBGS-CWA), aimed to highlight the impact of Microsoftβs ongoing mass layoffs. | Aug 12 03:01 |
| IsambardPrince | Developers also planted 800 red flags outside the office, with each flag representing a person who has lost their job since July 2025. | Aug 12 03:01 |
| IsambardPrince | The protest comes as Xbox pushes through a massive round of layoffs affecting roughly 3,200 employees, with 1,600 jobs already eliminated and another 1,600 reportedly set to be cut later this year." | Aug 12 03:01 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR: I was explaining Flock Safety cameras in terms of Orwell. | Aug 12 05:22 |
| IsambardPrince | "Ironically Flock is better at tracking people who have more money because they're more likely to have a personal vehicle. | Aug 12 05:23 |
| IsambardPrince | It's exactly like Orwell's 1984 where only proles and animals were free. The Party expended most of its tracking budget on the Inner and Outer Party members, they knew that the proles were no threat because they didn't educate them well enough to think in those terms, so there was no reason to monitor them very much. Proles were mostly concerned with things like beer, drugs, sporting events, porn, lotteries, and Grindr. (In the real | Aug 12 05:23 |
| IsambardPrince | world.)" | Aug 12 05:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Things are not that simple anymore. | Aug 12 05:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Tech companies have made it cheap to monitor Proles too, just in case. | Aug 12 05:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Those "Flock Safety" cameras profile people who own a car. | Aug 12 05:24 |
| IsambardPrince | Those people are likely to have more money than a person who has to give up the car and take the bus. | Aug 12 05:24 |
| IsambardPrince | But many proles have cars. | Aug 12 05:24 |
| IsambardPrince | Bad cars. | Aug 12 05:24 |

| IsambardPrince | :D | Aug 12 05:24 |
| IsambardPrince | So it's expanded to many, but not all, of the proles. | Aug 12 05:25 |
| IsambardPrince | The ones who are utterly destitute don't have as much tracking. | Aug 12 05:25 |
| IsambardPrince | It used to be "Because they have no money and they can't even go into debt" | Aug 12 05:25 |
| IsambardPrince | But with non-traditional "credit" products like iPhone Upgrade by Klarna, people with no money and no credit can get an iPhone they can't afford. | Aug 12 05:26 |
| IsambardPrince | They did this deliberately. | Aug 12 05:26 |
| IsambardPrince | Not only are you supposed to go spend $1200 on this bullshit that tracks you and reports you to the police, but you're supposed to spend the $1200 even if the money does not exist. | Aug 12 05:26 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: There's various "negative signals" on a consumer credit report. | Aug 12 22:03 |
| IsambardPrince | If you have a lot of debt, or you're carrying an unusually high balance on one line in particular, or too many requests for credit in the last two years, then the usual really bad stuff like late payments, charge offs, bankruptcy, repossession. | Aug 12 22:04 |
| IsambardPrince | Foreclosures. | Aug 12 22:04 |
| IsambardPrince | Many creditors will start backing away from you if you have too much of the first three going on. | Aug 12 22:04 |
| IsambardPrince | But when it's lates, bk, charge offs, repo, foreclosure, you start getting the credit lines slammed shut or reduced to the amount owed every time you make a payment. | Aug 12 22:05 |
| IsambardPrince | They all watch you like a hawk. | Aug 12 22:05 |
| IsambardPrince | Every month, sometimes every week. | Aug 12 22:05 |
| IsambardPrince | American Express watches you more than once a week sometimes. | Aug 12 22:05 |
| IsambardPrince | They don't like _any_ risk signals. | Aug 12 22:06 |
| IsambardPrince | But most just check in once a month, see if you're visibly deteriorating badly. | Aug 12 22:06 |
| IsambardPrince | Then they start cutting exposure. | Aug 12 22:06 |
| IsambardPrince | They don't just lend more money to someone where there's starting to be serious questions about payback. | Aug 12 22:07 |
| IsambardPrince | That's what I don't get. | Aug 12 22:11 |
| IsambardPrince | There's this sort of person who is used to living on debt. | Aug 12 22:12 |
| IsambardPrince | So when the banks say "No more, pay some back and we'll talk." they are flabbergasted. | Aug 12 22:12 |
| IsambardPrince | I call them the "credit-entitled". | Aug 12 22:12 |
| IsambardPrince | Paying some back lowers your debt to income and allows you to borrow again, but it's still not wise. | Aug 12 22:12 |
| IsambardPrince | Of course, these sorts extend themselves to the point where paying some back might as well be "We'll talk about the next loan when we see you part the Red Sea." | Aug 12 22:13 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: I'm always looking for ways to do stuff a little better. | Aug 12 22:16 |
| IsambardPrince | I have no blog where I lie about a $20 million dollar income. | Aug 12 22:16 |
| IsambardPrince | But I do try to save $1 on groceries. | Aug 12 22:16 |
| IsambardPrince | :D | Aug 12 22:16 |
| IsambardPrince | There's this problem called "baseline spending". It's the money you HAVE TO PAY each month just to live. | Aug 12 22:17 |
| IsambardPrince | You need to get that down to something close to actual baseline instead of burning through cash you borrow from banks. | Aug 12 22:17 |
| IsambardPrince | When my partner told his friends at work I use a Swiffer WetJet and Dawn PowerWash, they thought "Wow, that's expensive." and I told them "Really it's not, I buy the pads from China in bulk, I make the solution and the dish spray myself and keep refilling the bottle for about 10 cents each time." | Aug 12 22:18 |
| IsambardPrince | Bad baseline math can be things like spending 70 cents per Swiffer pad instead of 20 cents. | Aug 12 22:19 |
| IsambardPrince | Or $4.99 for a bottle of Dawn dish spray, when you can make it yourself from econo-size ingredients from Sam's Club for 22 cents. Or buying Swiffer mop solution for $7 each and it lasts about two weeks, vs. refilling it and spending 12 cents. | Aug 12 22:21 |
| IsambardPrince | 70 cents vs. 20 cents per pad that's 3.5x markup. $4.99 for Dawn vs. 22 cents that's 23x markup. $7 for two weeks of mop solution vs. 12 cents per refill that's 580x markup on the retail bottle. | Aug 12 22:21 |
| IsambardPrince | They can run coupons and rebates and not care if you stack them because they're selling this stuff for dozens or even hundreds of times what it cost them. | Aug 12 22:22 |
| IsambardPrince | A person "winning" with coupons will never beat the guy that just makes the stuff. | Aug 12 22:23 |
| IsambardPrince | I made a five gallon tub of laundry detergent once. | Aug 12 22:24 |
| IsambardPrince | It took me years to go through that. | Aug 12 22:24 |
| IsambardPrince | P&G says they invest in the leading edge laundry surfactants and detergents, but lately I've noticed a pattern where it just doesn't work as well. Government regulations came along and they said "Oh it might kill a fish in a river somewhere. Now you can't get ketchup and motor oil out of your jeans." | Aug 12 22:26 |
| IsambardPrince | I mean we had fish in the 90s didn't we? | Aug 12 22:27 |
| IsambardPrince | What happened to all the fish for the 50 years Tide worked? | Aug 12 22:27 |
| IsambardPrince | There are still fish despite hundreds of millions of people doing their laundry. | Aug 12 22:27 |
| IsambardPrince | When I make my own laundry detergent I can put whatever I want in it. | Aug 12 22:30 |
| IsambardPrince | Mom asked why my clothes looked so good and never had any stains I just said "I use a lot of stuff companies can't legally put in laundry soap anymore." | Aug 12 22:30 |
| MinceR | swiffer, no swiffing! | Aug 12 22:30 |
| IsambardPrince | You can still get the bulk ingredients. | Aug 12 22:30 |
| IsambardPrince | That took a lot of time. | Aug 12 22:59 |
| IsambardPrince | I had to figure out how to get a vote by mail ballot. | Aug 12 22:59 |
| IsambardPrince | It largely won't matter considering how blue the state is. | Aug 12 22:59 |
| IsambardPrince | I did vote for Darren Bailey in the last Gubernatorial Election, but I'll be voting for JB Pritzker this time. | Aug 12 23:00 |
| IsambardPrince | As bad as he is, he's one of the few things standing in the way of Trump. | Aug 12 23:00 |
| IsambardPrince | I did that. You know, at the time of the previous election we were in the middle of Joe Biden's presidency and I was so disgusted with the heavy-handedness of the federal government. You know, all the "COVID shot" mandates, and masks, and economy-killing shutdowns, that I blew my stack and actually voted for Bailey even though he's a Republican. | Aug 12 23:03 |
| IsambardPrince | It's still a reaction to the federal government more than it is about who I want to be the Governor. Trump is making the federal government oppressive and heavy-handed in different ways. | Aug 12 23:04 |
| IsambardPrince | When you hear things on the news like ICE agent murdering Americans, and they have a policy where if one of them commits a crime they'll delete the body camera footage, and warehouses for people, and a contract for "gloves that shock people into compliance", you know, you don't want your state onboard with that. | Aug 12 23:06 |
| IsambardPrince | Now that the Republicans are running things in the federal government they are trying very hard to throw out the Tenth Amendment, especially Anti-Commandeering. | Aug 12 23:07 |
| IsambardPrince | We have to flip at least one chamber of Congress. Have to. Otherwise this country is going to hit the accelerator pedal on Trump's agenda. | Aug 12 23:08 |
