[01:30] IsambardPrince He takes it in the can. [01:31] IsambardPrince MinceR: I like this slow cooker. It's a Rival model from the early 90s maybe. [01:31] IsambardPrince Perfect condition. [01:31] IsambardPrince Says Made in USA. [01:31] IsambardPrince So you know it's old and it was built properly. [01:31] IsambardPrince Not made out of Chinesium and sold at Walmart. [01:32] IsambardPrince Might have been purchased at Walmart back when most of the stuff said Made in USA on it. [01:32] IsambardPrince They told their suppliers to go to third world hellholes to make stuff cheaper as a part of a campaign of aggressive price-cutting in the mid to late 90s and 2000s. [01:32] IsambardPrince Then once they drove everyone else under, they raised prices massively but did not improve the quality of goods. [01:32] MinceR and most of the buyers didn't mind [01:33] MinceR there are lots of things that don't seem to be available in good quality at all anymore [01:34] MinceR and some where if you look for a very long time, you might eventually be able to get the good stuff [01:34] MinceR people just don't care anymore [01:35] IsambardPrince That stereo (technically a clock radio, but it sounds better than most stereos) is in the dining room playing Beethoven right now. Honestly it sounds like I'm on hold with the people at the doctor's office only the guy playing the piano is right there in the room. [01:35] IsambardPrince I tested a lot of things on it and it handled them all well. [01:35] IsambardPrince I'm surprised this company went out of business, although I suppose not really surprised. [01:36] IsambardPrince MinceR: CNN reports that iPhones caused sterility. [01:36] MinceR good [01:36] MinceR sterility is what this species needs, especially the crApple cultists [01:36] IsambardPrince They cited a study that said the first places in America that got the iPhone saw their birth rate fall faster and ahead of other places. [01:36] IsambardPrince They said that people are pecking away at their phones instead of interacting with real people. [01:36] IsambardPrince And the missed interactions include sex. [01:37] IsambardPrince This sort of thing just reeks of mental illness to me. [01:37] MinceR there still are too fucking many devil apes on this planet [01:37] IsambardPrince Who passes up a good round of hot steamy sex over a goddamn phone? [01:37] IsambardPrince Like what is on that iPhone screen that is better than sex? [01:37] MinceR dunno, sex has the disadvantage of having to interact with another human [01:37] IsambardPrince I mean.....honestly. [01:37] IsambardPrince [19:37] dunno, sex has the disadvantage of having to interact with another human [01:37] IsambardPrince At least transactionally. [01:44] IsambardPrince MinceR: I posted (regarding Apple Airpods and the stuff Bose is now selling). [01:45] IsambardPrince "None of my audio stuff has a battery in it because I try not to knowingly buy trash that will fail in a year or two." [01:45] MinceR :> [01:46] MinceR some of mine does, because i don't really feel like taking up 3 laptops worth of space in my backpack because i _might_ want to listen to audio and i hate wired earbuds because they turn every bit of touch and friction on the wires into super loud noise in my ears [01:46] MinceR also because ANC doesn't seem to work without one [01:47] IsambardPrince Active N****r Canceling. [01:47] MinceR and i live in a country where many people consider it their life's goal to bother as many people as much as possible, and some of the means to accomplish this are noisy [01:47] MinceR no, they don't need to be black to be noisy barbarians [01:47] IsambardPrince That's what I started calling that dwelling in apartments in Chicago. [01:48] MinceR pretty sure the troglodytes who live above me and use some sort of power tool to demolish part of the alleged building every fucking week are not black. [01:48] IsambardPrince Black men don't tend to be that picky. [01:48] IsambardPrince They smoke weed and cigars that are flavored to taste like urinal cake. [01:49] IsambardPrince And if you throw a ham sandwich down the hallway they'll be fucking it before it lands. [01:49] IsambardPrince That's like 80% of them. [01:49] IsambardPrince But some are respectable. [01:49] IsambardPrince Black women have a better ratio. [01:50] IsambardPrince John described the phenomenon as "the men go to prison and the women go to college".

[04:14] IsambardPrince That's more of a "will stick it in anything" thing than bisexual. [04:15] IsambardPrince They look down on black men that become police officers because they consider it betrayal without the next thought "Have I tried following the law and getting a job?" [04:15] IsambardPrince And they call any black man that becomes an educated professional or climbs into the middle class an "oreo". [04:15] IsambardPrince "black on the outside, white on the inside" [04:16] IsambardPrince When you live in a culture that portrays following the law, dressing appropriately, and bettering yourself as negative things, you end up with the problems they're having. [04:17] IsambardPrince Illiteracy, recidivism, chronic high unemployment, low status, low educational attainment, drug use, satisfying base desires like always looking for something to fuck. [04:17] IsambardPrince These are considered "virtues". [04:18] IsambardPrince And you go to most other Western countries or even majority black countries, and people aren't behaving this way, outside of a couple failed states. [04:18] IsambardPrince If 100% of the population of the US was black, you'd have a gigantic Haiti, because with this culture, you cannot achieve anything. [04:18] IsambardPrince Nothing will ever grow except bad things. [04:19] IsambardPrince I don't think it's a "universal" problem because there's many examples of fine black men you can point to, but there's also a lot of this "culture" where negatives are virtuous. [04:20] IsambardPrince MinceR: I've lived in a lot of areas. [04:21] IsambardPrince Majority white, majority black, majority Hispanic, majority Asian, and now even majority Middle Eastern (Jews and Muslims). [04:21] IsambardPrince And out of all of this the only place where I had to be afraid to leave my house, where me and John both got mugged at gunpoint in the only year we lived there, it was majority black. [04:21] IsambardPrince And it fits all the stereotypes of the "black ghetto" when you go to those places in Chicago. [04:22] IsambardPrince Wig shops and fried chicken restaurants. [04:23] IsambardPrince And it's not even cheap to live in that place where crime is out of control and everything is filthy. [04:23] IsambardPrince It's $1,667 to rent a place there and about $90 more than that here. [04:23] IsambardPrince If it was still $500 a month I'd say if you're broke, you take your chances. [04:24] IsambardPrince But it's not even cheap. [04:24] IsambardPrince It's an expensive hellhole. ● Jun 14 [05:09] TR News Sol Cesto: Rescuing the Sun - Review https://boilingsteam.com/sol-cesto-review/index.html [05:09] TR Bot Sol Cesto: Rescuing the Sun - Review [05:09] TR News Openchip taps Baya Systems data-movement platform for RISC-V systems https://siliconangle.com/2026/06/11/openchip-taps-baya-systems-data-movement-platform-risc-v-systems/ [05:09] TR Bot taps Baya Systems data-movement platform for RISC-V systems - SiliconANGLE [05:12] TR News Qubes OS User Survey 2026: Shape the future of Qubes!

[18:56] IsambardPrince I think a lot of it is that bed and the rest is Mandy not being here. [18:56] IsambardPrince When you resent someone's presence, just knowing that they're there makes for a lot of stress. ● Jun 14 [19:03] IsambardPrince MinceR: I was listening to Money for Nothing by Dire Straits while setting up the kitchen the other day. [19:04] IsambardPrince Archie was recording me installing a microwave oven while singing along with that. [19:05] IsambardPrince This song got banned from the radio in Canada. [19:07] IsambardPrince I prefer the US approach to speech. [19:07] IsambardPrince The government isn't going to do much about it usually, often nothing at all. [19:07] IsambardPrince But you might face consequences at your job or something if you go way over the line. [19:08] IsambardPrince Trying to stamp out extremism by banning speech only makes the problem worse. [19:08] IsambardPrince They're still out there and now they're even angrier. [19:08] IsambardPrince They figure out how to contort themselves to remain in minimal compliance with the laws and censors. [19:08] IsambardPrince And the problem festers, it does not go away. [19:08] IsambardPrince See what's going on in Germany with their new Nazi Party. [19:09] IsambardPrince Okay, you created Nazis without the salute and the swastika. Congratulations? [19:09] IsambardPrince They're winning more seats in every election? Fabulous. Tell me how that went. [19:10] IsambardPrince I'm a fairly Libertarian-leaning person. [19:10] schestowitz[TR2] seems so [19:10] IsambardPrince Social Libertarian, Fiscally fairly Progressive. [19:10] schestowitz[TR2] it is not a right wing thing [19:10] schestowitz[TR2] it's different [19:10] schestowitz[TR2] the notion of freedom to think/act [19:10] schestowitz[TR2] not a winged thing [19:10] IsambardPrince I don't think I fall neatly on the right/left spectrum. [19:10] schestowitz[TR2] right [19:11] IsambardPrince They both have idiotic ideas that they cling to out of ideology. [19:11] IsambardPrince And some good ones. [19:11] TR News Techrights Bruce Schneier Was Probably Wrong About Slop https://techrights.org/n/2026/06/14/Bruce_Schneier_Was_Probably_Wrong_About_Slop.shtml | Gemini address: gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/06/14/Bruce_Schneier_Was_Probably_Wrong_About_Slop.gmi [19:11] TR Bot Techrights Bruce Schneier Was Probably Wrong About Slop [19:12] IsambardPrince On the right, you tend to have religious nuts, people who want to ban guns, extreme tax cutting, and the total end of the welfare state. [19:12] IsambardPrince Err, people that want to repeal all gun control is what I meant. [19:13] IsambardPrince Was saving that for the left. [19:13] IsambardPrince On the left, you have people who are content to let people do almost whatever they want no matter how bizarre and twisted it is. They want to ban all guns everywhere. They create a complete mess financially trying to have the government pay for everything. [19:13] IsambardPrince So you end up with different kinds of bad at the "edges" of both sides. [19:14] IsambardPrince I'm all for gun control measures that work, but the sad thing is that at some point you don't solve any crimes, you just create criminals on paper. [19:14] IsambardPrince Like, they forgot to renew a card or went into the wrong place with it. [19:15] IsambardPrince So the bizarre thing about gun control is it causes "gun crime" to rise. [19:15] IsambardPrince Not because more bad things are happening, but because there's more "technical" lawbreaking. [19:15] IsambardPrince It's not people getting shot. It's not carrying it in the regulated box or something. [19:16] IsambardPrince And they're doing this on purpose. [19:16] IsambardPrince They know what they're doing. [19:16] IsambardPrince They want to make it impossible to know if you're following the laws so you won't even try to legally carry a gun. [19:17] IsambardPrince Tell me that this mindset isn't an example of authoritarianism? [19:17] IsambardPrince Then they go "We need to save water, so now Ryan's toilet won't work and he's standing there with an auger every day." [19:18] IsambardPrince "But this data center that uses 6 million gallons a week and is causing a void collapse and people's faucets to run dry is perfectly fine." [19:19] IsambardPrince We're not living in an actual right/left system. It's an oligarchy. The United States has turned into an oligarchy. It's becoming another Russia. [19:19] IsambardPrince It's a bigger economy than Russia. That's the main difference. [19:20] IsambardPrince On social issues where the rich have no horse in the game, there are differences, but those are the allowed differences. [19:20] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: There's important differences in the policies at the state level, not really at the federal level. [19:21] IsambardPrince What they do there is this game where anything Trump wants, the Democrats figure out who gets to be the 1 or 2 that break away and let it pass. [19:21] IsambardPrince This time it's Fetterman. [19:22] IsambardPrince That lets them play the game where the party says "We don't support that. Fetterman is a loose canon. He got away from us." [19:22] IsambardPrince But he's "doing the needful" as the Indians are fond of saying. [19:23] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: I love how Illinois responded to the feds cutting off our grant money. [19:23] IsambardPrince Lawsuits, but also raising new taxes that don't really fall on citizens. [19:23] IsambardPrince Like that Social Media Tax. [19:23] IsambardPrince The ones where the big tech companies are going to pay $200 million in the new budget and can't pass it along to "users". [19:24] IsambardPrince I don't see why we should sit here and let the state's finances collapse because of the "big beautiful bill" while the tech companies reaped a lot of federal tax cuts. [19:24] IsambardPrince It has an exemption for the first 100,000 users. [19:25] IsambardPrince So technically as long as you cap your IRC server or Mastodon instance or whatever to 100,000 users, you owe no tax. [19:25] IsambardPrince The law is vague as to what a user is. [19:25] IsambardPrince It doesn't seem to define what bots count as. [19:26] IsambardPrince The lawsuits to get our grant funding back seem to be going well. [19:26] IsambardPrince Trump just tried to unilaterally cancel them, not send a rescissions package to Congress. [19:28] IsambardPrince The "move fast and break things" approach doesn't work when it eventually meets what the law says. [19:28] IsambardPrince They took Trump's name off the Kennedy Center yesterday. [19:32] MinceR 14 200706 < IsambardPrince> I prefer the US approach to speech. [19:32] MinceR it's gone [19:33] MinceR LSSC got shut down because the pedophile king didn't like it. [19:33] MinceR "land of the free", my ass.
