| MinceR | also living in nazi america | Feb 17 00:35 |
| MinceR | gas is normally more expensive here, and the government is also trying various tricks to hike the price further | Feb 17 00:36 |
| IsambardPrince | They hate us because we have freedom, and guns, and cheap gas. | Feb 17 00:36 |
| IsambardPrince | They see me rollin', they hatin'. | Feb 17 00:37 |

| IsambardPrince | I rarely go anywhere without doing conceal and carry. | Feb 17 00:37 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, A few. | Feb 17 00:38 |
| IsambardPrince | It does happen. | Feb 17 00:38 |
| IsambardPrince | There was a CBP agent that was shot and killed the same week Trump took office, in Vermont I think. | Feb 17 00:38 |
| IsambardPrince | Good, fuck him. | Feb 17 00:38 |
| MinceR | so what's the score? | Feb 17 00:38 |
| IsambardPrince | I mean, I wouldn't have done it but I'm not sad that he's dead. | Feb 17 00:38 |
| IsambardPrince | Who knows. | Feb 17 00:38 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 17 00:39 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, The guy who shot and killed him was wanted for murder anyway. | Feb 17 00:39 |
| IsambardPrince | He was already in about as much trouble as you can be in. | Feb 17 00:40 |
| IsambardPrince | When I say I wouldn't do it, personally, it's because I'm not in trouble for anything. | Feb 17 00:40 |
| IsambardPrince | I'd rather it stay that way. | Feb 17 00:40 |
| IsambardPrince | The guy that was wanted for murder had nothing to lose. | Feb 17 00:41 |

| IsambardPrince | Used cooking oil can be processed into a substitute for diesel fuel. | Feb 17 00:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Europe, aside from all the other ways it's shitty, decadent, and overpriced, has notoriously high motor fuel prices. | Feb 17 00:44 |
| IsambardPrince | They seem to think that the way you jumpstart an economy that's taxed to death and having double digit unemployment, is to give it a good jolt of raising the retirement age. | Feb 17 00:45 |
| IsambardPrince | (France) | Feb 17 00:45 |
| MinceR | soon they'll just invite the orcs in to run things | Feb 17 00:46 |

| MinceR | if canada is in europe, then nazi america is in europe | Feb 17 00:47 |
| MinceR | and as far as most devil apes are concerned, there are no thoughts | Feb 17 00:47 |
| IsambardPrince | They use the metric system and ration healthcare and tax the shit out of everything. | Feb 17 00:47 |
| IsambardPrince | It might as well be Europe. | Feb 17 00:47 |
| MinceR | officially, even nazi america uses the metric system | Feb 17 00:47 |

| IsambardPrince | Yes, because the units were poorly standardized before that. | Feb 17 00:56 |
| MinceR | lol | Feb 17 00:56 |
| IsambardPrince | You'd get two rulers and a foot on one would be 11.5 inches on the other. | Feb 17 00:56 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Yeah, when I was remodeling the house mom lost to Dave.... | Feb 17 01:09 |
| IsambardPrince | I was running into all sorts of odd measurements from like over 100 years ago. | Feb 17 01:09 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 17 01:09 |
| IsambardPrince | One end of a doorframe would be like 3/8ths of an inch shorter than the other side. | Feb 17 01:09 |
| IsambardPrince | And then on one end there'd be a gap. | Feb 17 01:10 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I fixed a lot of that. | Feb 17 01:10 |
| IsambardPrince | Including the downstairs bathroom door. | Feb 17 01:10 |
| IsambardPrince | in the center it was about 5 feet 11 inches. | Feb 17 01:10 |
| MinceR | i suspect SI on its own can't really help with that | Feb 17 01:10 |
| IsambardPrince | And I'm 6' 3.5". | Feb 17 01:10 |
| MinceR | in this concrete hive, several doors just hang in some random direction on their own | Feb 17 01:10 |
| MinceR | probably because the frames aren't vertical | Feb 17 01:11 |
| IsambardPrince | So I banged my head on it a few times then cut it up to 6 feet 7 inches and put a new door on. | Feb 17 01:11 |
| MinceR | and the elements of this concrete hive were mass produced, afaik | Feb 17 01:11 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Dave saw me come in cussing from having hit my head again. | Feb 17 01:11 |
| IsambardPrince | And I said "I need this." and walked off with his electric saw. | Feb 17 01:11 |
| MinceR | i bought some wedges to keep some of the doors open, but naturally, they were removed and discarded soon | Feb 17 01:12 |
| MinceR | so i still keep bumping into the nominally open doors when i try to go through them | Feb 17 01:12 |
| MinceR | and it's somehow always my fault. | Feb 17 01:13 |

| IsambardPrince | He said that when he worked at Netscape, Andreeson would take a dump in the restroom where the "grease and red meat diet really made itself known". | Feb 17 02:17 |
| MinceR | lol | Feb 17 02:18 |
| IsambardPrince | And then one of his coworkers came down the hall and said "Captain's Log". | Feb 17 02:18 |
| MinceR | lol | Feb 17 02:18 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I recall that the Mozilla Suite used to be so heavy by the standards of late 90s/early 2000s PCs that you could add a stub to your Startup folder in the Start Menu. | Feb 17 02:23 |
| IsambardPrince | It would load in the system tray and preload most of the browser. | Feb 17 02:23 |
| IsambardPrince | So it wouldn't take so long to start. | Feb 17 02:23 |
| MinceR | microslop preloaded Idiot Exploiter, too | Feb 17 02:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Yes. | Feb 17 02:23 |
| MinceR | but that wasn't optional | Feb 17 02:23 |
| MinceR | microslop doesn't really understand what 'optional' means | Feb 17 02:23 |

| IsambardPrince | I was mainly calling the hospital to see what bills I have left outstanding. | Feb 17 21:47 |
| IsambardPrince | I want to get as many things paid as I can that nobody is going to beat me up for in a divorce proceeding. | Feb 17 21:47 |
| IsambardPrince | It's already going to be absolutely horrible, and it was so avoidable if he only had a brain. | Feb 17 21:51 |
| IsambardPrince | He thinks he'll have freedom without me. What he'll have is a bankruptcy if he finances a car. | Feb 17 21:52 |
| IsambardPrince | When you finance a car, they do a lot of dumb shit to make the payments work out to the budget you have when you buy the car. | Feb 17 21:52 |
| IsambardPrince | But that doesn't account for the duration risk of having a loan that goes on for 7-8 years, or all the interest you'll pay. | Feb 17 21:52 |
| IsambardPrince | They just want to get some bank to approve the loan. They do not care if you go bankrupt. They don't care if the car is repossessed. | Feb 17 21:53 |
| IsambardPrince | But you will. | Feb 17 21:53 |
| IsambardPrince | Because then you'll have to get by with bad credit, which makes it almost as hard to find a place to live as being on a sex offender list. | Feb 17 21:53 |
| IsambardPrince | Because the worst thing you can do in this country is not pay your bills. | Feb 17 21:53 |
| IsambardPrince | I've seen Mark rent to people with domestic battery convictions, I've seen him rent to sex offenders. | Feb 17 21:54 |
| IsambardPrince | He doesn't rent to people who don't pay him, you don't pay him you have until the police come get you out. | Feb 17 21:54 |
| IsambardPrince | The police are not there to help you if your adjusted gross income is low. | Feb 17 21:55 |
| IsambardPrince | They're there to protect the people who exploit you and crush you to death. | Feb 17 21:55 |
| IsambardPrince | With loans and high rents and stuff. | Feb 17 21:55 |

| IsambardPrince | "Pardon me, I was told that Trix are exclusively for children. Is that enforced by law?" | Feb 17 23:25 |
| MinceR | :) | Feb 17 23:25 |
| IsambardPrince | "So what you're telling me is that if I buy this, nobody will follow me home?" | Feb 17 23:26 |
| MinceR | no, it's enforced by aircraft | Feb 17 23:26 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I love how politicians frame a tax hike. | Feb 17 23:49 |
| IsambardPrince | "We'll ask them to pay a little more." | Feb 17 23:49 |
| IsambardPrince | I don't recall anyone asking if I wanted to file taxes and pay the IRS for things that I don't benefit from. | Feb 17 23:49 |
| MinceR | "what if they say no?" | Feb 17 23:49 |
| IsambardPrince | That's why we have prisons. Duh. | Feb 17 23:50 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 17 23:50 |
| IsambardPrince | You ask, and if they say no, prison. | Feb 17 23:50 |
| MinceR | statists love this | Feb 17 23:50 |
| IsambardPrince | Who the statists are seems to change depending on how the election went. | Feb 17 23:50 |
| IsambardPrince | All the positions have changed now that Trump is in office. | Feb 17 23:50 |
| IsambardPrince | The Democrats are now the ones calling for state's rights and a limit to federal power, and they are buying guns. | Feb 17 23:51 |
| MinceR | it's a pity that most devil apes never learn | Feb 17 23:51 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, The Democrats are usually the ones that want to maximize federal power and ban guns. | Feb 17 23:53 |
| IsambardPrince | They also want huge tax increases. | Feb 17 23:53 |
| IsambardPrince | Well, now they got their huge tax increases. | Feb 17 23:53 |
| MinceR | i know | Feb 17 23:53 |
| IsambardPrince | They're called Tariffs. | Feb 17 23:53 |
| IsambardPrince | And they're funding ICE. | Feb 17 23:53 |
| MinceR | the "democrats" | Feb 17 23:53 |
| IsambardPrince | They're also the ones that now want to shut down the federal government indefinitely. | Feb 17 23:54 |
| IsambardPrince | Just to embarrass the president. | Feb 17 23:54 |
| IsambardPrince | Which they said was irresponsible when the Republicans did it. | Feb 17 23:54 |
| IsambardPrince | Most of the federal government is open. | Feb 17 23:55 |
| IsambardPrince | They've managed to defund DHS, after allowing a bill that gave $75 billion to ICE and CBP. | Feb 17 23:55 |
| IsambardPrince | So they're still getting paid and everyone is going to work there. | Feb 17 23:55 |
| IsambardPrince | It's just shut down FEMA, the air traffic controller, the FAA, and a bunch of other stuff that has nothing to do with ICE. | Feb 17 23:55 |
| IsambardPrince | The TSA is shut down. | Feb 17 23:55 |
| IsambardPrince | None of them get paid. | Feb 17 23:56 |
| IsambardPrince | They're not Immigration. | Feb 17 23:56 |
| IsambardPrince | USCIS is fee funded. They're raising fees and letting ICE borrow USCIS officers. | Feb 17 23:56 |
| IsambardPrince | The Democrats have shut down pretty much everything in DHS except ICE. | Feb 17 23:56 |
| MinceR | lol | Feb 17 23:56 |
| IsambardPrince | They might make it hard to get on a plane to go to Disney World with the credit card for the third time this year the next time my broke cousins with three bankruptcies each go to do it again. | Feb 17 23:57 |
| IsambardPrince | But they haven't shut down ICE. | Feb 17 23:57 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Today, Mandy, who wants a divorce, asked me to cosign for him to get a car loan. | Feb 17 23:58 |
| IsambardPrince | I said "Motherfucker have you lost your goddamned mind!?" | Feb 17 23:58 |
| IsambardPrince | He may get a car loan, but when I move out and take my income with me, he'll end up living in it. | Feb 17 23:59 |
| IsambardPrince | He asked how high the bills were. | Feb 17 23:59 |
| MinceR | they say "taxation isn't robbery. there's nothing violent about taxation. if you don't pay, the state will simply lock you up and have you beaten." | Feb 17 23:59 |
| IsambardPrince | I said "So high that when I'm gone and it's just you, you'll get rent and an electric bill, and you'll have no money left." | Feb 17 23:59 |
| IsambardPrince | "Then you won't eat and they'll want that car back." | Feb 17 23:59 |
