[05:18] DaemonFC I suggest reporting all your taxable income but getting it some other way. Either where you can self-report on line 8 or on a 1099 form that always means THAT payment was taxable. [05:19] DaemonFC The IRS can look at your bank account any time it wants to. [05:19] DaemonFC So trying to hide taxable money isn't clever. [05:19] schestowitz but the main issue, i though, was many people not using paypal [05:19] DaemonFC It's just that you would much rather self-report or use a 1099-MISC than get a 1099-K with a bunch of stuff that is taxable and a bunch that isn't, with no way to tell it apart for the IRS.

[05:24] DaemonFC So the deficit goes up but none of the spending is subject to a budget point of order. [05:25] DaemonFC It's basically so they can ram unpaid-for spending into a budget bill, claim they're being fiscally responsible and reducing the deficit, then it adds to the deficit. [05:25] DaemonFC It's the Democrats violating their own Statutory PAYGO Law. [05:26] DaemonFC It's the same thing they do in Illinois. [05:26] DaemonFC The Constitution requires a balanced state budget. We haven't had one in 23 years. [05:26] DaemonFC Why? [05:26] DaemonFC How?

[05:27] DaemonFC Like "Sell the Thompson Center." every year for ten years in a row before selling it to Google for a third of what they budgeted to get for it that year. [05:28] DaemonFC Then they said. "Sure, all it ever did was lose money and sure we couldn't get anything for it because it was an architectural disaster that was impossible to heat or air condition, and that was BEFORE we stopped washing it, maintaining it, or even fumigating for roaches and bedbugs brought in by homeless people using the attached CTA stop." [05:28] DaemonFC "But we sure balanced the budget a lot with it!" [05:29] DaemonFC The state wanted it to look "modern" in 1985. So they did this "atrium" design.

[05:38] DaemonFC I hope that soon, they'll go from running an anal sex porn studio (Tushy) and not one but two involving white women being fucked by black guys, to watching out that they don't get anal from a black guy, in the federal pen. [05:39] DaemonFC schestowitz, But the point here is, NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER browse the US Internet for more than doing your banking and online shopping, without your VPN on, and routed through a country with good privacy laws. [05:40] DaemonFC Because if it's not some copyright troll abusing the system to extort and blackmail, it'll be one of these fuckers running either your ISP or a backbone that is secretly in cahoots with the feds, not just law enforcement but directly with the politicians and security agencies. [05:40] DaemonFC And that's without even mentioning the advertisers that track you from place to place. [05:41] DaemonFC I keep Chromium around without an ad blocker for when I need to punch a hole in the VPN and use some "Web app" that shits itself with a VPN on or with an ad blocker or without JavaScript.

[05:44] DaemonFC Did they run out of rape, murder, carjacking, drive by shooting, organized retail theft, and battered babies? [05:45] DaemonFC They can eat my ass, honestly. [05:45] DaemonFC They've stopped trying to catch felons. [05:45] DaemonFC And they compile reports on people who say things that are legal to say and hurt some deranged person's tiny little feelings.

[07:52] DaemonFC I think it's unfair to compare Keith with Lobsta on that aspect. [07:53] DaemonFC A mean person will go out of their way to hurt you for no reason. [07:53] schestowitz "I may well be coming to Brampton, if that's what's necessary to press criminal charges against you. It's a $500 round-trip plane ticket, and a half-hour ride from the airport."

[07:55] DaemonFC Keith did the minimum that a person should be legally expected to do. He financially supported his kids, and in his own messed up head he tried to be there in some sense. [07:55] schestowitz " [07:55] schestowitz Mr. Lozza then sent my ISP what he imagined was a DMCA complaint. I responded to it (while in Tokyo on business, at 3 in the morning), and no further action was taken. [07:55] schestowitz Mr. Lozza then somehow came into possession of a photograph of me which I had only published on Facebook, through circumstances which remain unclear. He defaced it and republished it, and I was obliged to serve a DMCA complaint on him, and the photograph was taken down. No counter-notification was provided. During this period, Mr. Lozza expressed his intention to use the photograph in a "comic strip" he had in mind." [07:56] schestowitz " Further, he carried through with his previous intention and put up a blog at boycottlefty.wordpress.com with a defamatory "comic strip" titled "Mono Rangers", in which he not only infringed the copyright of the same photograph which had been at issue earlier, but a second photograph (taken by professional James Duncan Davidson, and?as with my photos, with a clear "All rights reserved" copyright notice attached) of me, both defaced, a [07:56] schestowitz nd again suggesting that I was a drug addict." [07:56] DaemonFC Yes, there are a ton of defamation blogs that appear and disappear. [07:56] DaemonFC Including one about his former boss. [07:57] schestowitz " Now, Mr. Lozza is an ongoing participant in direct harassment of myself here, and via his web site and via defamatory emails to various third-parties whose email addresses he's collected from various press releases related to my employment, as well being as a participant in the criminal harassment of my family." [07:57] schestowitz Lozza was banned from iRC around 2011 [07:57] schestowitz he carried on harassing _Goblin [07:57] schestowitz also got banned from Twitter [07:58] schestowitz you start to see a pattern [07:58] schestowitz so my apoloogies to Keith [07:58] schestowitz i don't think he went that far, ever [07:58] DaemonFC My cousins have sort of reconciled with them.

[07:59] schestowitz " I guess if your legal counsel is guiding you this closely, then you must have also been acting under advice of your attorney when you made public claims that I was a drug addict, a pedophile, a pornographer, a cannibal, etc., right?

[07:59] schestowitz that's why some people need to be locked up [07:59] schestowitz even if they are disabled [07:59] schestowitz it's too much for society to handle [07:59] DaemonFC schestowitz, I just think it's wrong because if you make choices you should have to live with them. ● Dec 13 [08:00] DaemonFC And one of those choices is to have kids. [08:00] DaemonFC And living with that choice means that you put them ahead of yourself. Always. [08:00] schestowitz Lozza: "How about threatening my survivability?" [08:00] schestowitz I know that line [08:00] schestowitz i heard it before [08:01] DaemonFC I don't have kids. If I had kids, I would make them the priority over my health, happiness, and even whether I was eating if there wasn't enough food to go around. [08:01] schestowitz "I haven't the slightest idea what "threatening your survivability" means. If you're claiming I've threatened your life or suggested that I'd use violence against you, I'd like to see some evidence of that." [08:01] schestowitz " Now, if the consequences look to you like they "threaten your survivability", then maybe you should have thought twice or more times before you undertook the actions you did. You can't do those sorts of things and then complain that your victims are taking issue with you." [08:01] DaemonFC So it disgusts me, when people have the kids and then run away and say that's society's problem for being stupid enough to let them get away without consequences. [08:01] schestowitz maybe Lozza can see, "I cannot understand consequences" [08:01] schestowitz "it's a mental defect" [08:02] DaemonFC Lobsta doesn't care.

[22:28] DaemonFC Completely quiet. By the time they know it's there, it has gotten right up to the aircraft carrier and sent it to the bottom and is halfway gone already. [22:29] DaemonFC Aircraft carrier groups are getting to be somewhat obsolete. In the sense that modern strike tactics bypass the defenses from the rest of the fleet and kill the carrier. [22:29] DaemonFC Then there went a lot of money and people, and no more carrier. [22:29] DaemonFC There always seems to have to be one war with obsolete tactics that cause staggering losses. [22:30] DaemonFC Like the American Civil War, where obsolete firing formations met more modern firepower. [22:30] DaemonFC Guns that were more accurate and could be reloaded much faster. Gatling guns. [22:30] DaemonFC Just mowing people down. [22:31] DaemonFC The firing formations used in the American Revolutionary War were necessary because you had these black powder muzzle loaders and they weren't very accurate, and they took minutes before you could fire again. [22:31] DaemonFC So you had one group step up and fire in the general direction of the other guys, then kneel down and reload while the next group stepped forward and fired. [22:35] DaemonFC Without mass production, high quality metallurgy, and advanced machining, no two rifles would ever fire the same way. [22:36] DaemonFC It came down to the skill of the person who made that particular gun. [22:36] DaemonFC So even with the same model, one gunsmith would make theirs better than another one would.
