| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR Mom's landlord who went to hide in Florida from the Coronavirus and then had a maskless dinner party and caught it anyway with everyone else there won't call anyone to plow her driveway, so she's stuck walking half a mile to her car and back. | Feb 18 00:08 |
|---|---|---|
| DaemonFC[m] | Why would you hide in the state with the worst Coronavirus problem to get away from the coronavirus? | Feb 18 00:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then while you're hiding go oh these people are rich so they're safe.... | Feb 18 00:09 |

| MinceR | well, perhaps the idea is to hide where SARS-CoV-2 will least expect you | Feb 18 00:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It would never suspect I'd be there, laughing and shooting the shit with rich people after we hoarded tests because that worked really well for Trump and 200 other people in the White House last year. | Feb 18 00:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR I told mom not to count on that pension. | Feb 18 00:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | As soon as the Catholics needed to pay hush money to some more young men, they'd take it. | Feb 18 00:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | She said they promised they wouldn't. | Feb 18 00:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I said yeah, the Catholics have never done anything unseemly. | Feb 18 00:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They took $200 a month out and she's still two years from drawing her first check, and she was crying on the phone. | Feb 18 00:14 |

| avalos | The Web is awful. | Feb 18 05:02 |
| avalos | Wish we all went back to technology we can understand. | Feb 18 05:02 |
| schestowitz__ | thanks | Feb 18 05:03 |
| schestowitz__ | we have just fixed something related to gemini | Feb 18 05:03 |
| schestowitz__ | seeing it does not coexist with ipfs too well on the same device | Feb 18 05:03 |
| superkuh | The web is great. The web of linked documents is amazing. It's only trying to distribute and run applications over the web that is bad. | Feb 18 05:04 |
| schestowitz__ | "ajax" | Feb 18 05:04 |
| schestowitz__ | became "clown computing" | Feb 18 05:04 |
| avalos | superkuh: if the linked documents is what is amazing of the Web, Gemini can provide that, and even better! | Feb 18 05:04 |
| schestowitz__ | which is having a subset in web 'saas' or web 'apps' | Feb 18 05:04 |
| superkuh | avalos, I prefer not to throw out 30 years of history and resources just because I'm mad at megacorps making browsers suck. It's not like I have to use Chrome or modern FF. | Feb 18 05:05 |
| avalos | Fair enough. Same. | Feb 18 05:06 |
| schestowitz__ | it's not about throwing away | Feb 18 05:06 |
| schestowitz__ | you can use both | Feb 18 05:06 |
| schestowitz__ | but the bloated browsers should not be needed to just read an article | Feb 18 05:06 |
| superkuh | It's not gonna happen. | Feb 18 05:06 |
| schestowitz__ | you still use a text editor | Feb 18 05:06 |
| superkuh | You're right. So just don't use a bloated browser, make your own websites not suck, and it's all good. | Feb 18 05:06 |
| schestowitz__ | and probably not as "web app" | Feb 18 05:06 |
| schestowitz__ | superkuh: you might still need a 200MB 'browser' to just read a text file site, and it might come with "telemetry" | Feb 18 05:07 |
| superkuh | Were browsers 5 years ago broken? No. | Feb 18 05:08 |
| superkuh | That software still exists. | Feb 18 05:08 |
| schestowitz__ | try 15 years back | Feb 18 05:08 |
| superkuh | Eh, then you lack useful document things. | Feb 18 05:08 |
| superkuh | Like CSS. | Feb 18 05:08 |
| schestowitz__ | in 2021 good luck running a browser (modern "browser") on a 256MB of RAM PC | Feb 18 05:08 |
| schestowitz__ | superkuh: CSS can be done at the user's end | Feb 18 05:09 |
| schestowitz__ | you can do CSS-like things with gemini at your side | Feb 18 05:09 |
| superkuh | ... that's a statement that is true and irrelevant. | Feb 18 05:09 |
| avalos | I kinda like the Dillo approach to CSS. | Feb 18 05:09 |
| superkuh | I won't be supporting gemini. I will keep making websites that are documents that don't suck and putting them on web overlays like tor and i2p. | Feb 18 05:10 |
| *blep (~blep@gateway/tor-sasl/blep) has joined #techrights | Feb 18 05:13 | |
| avalos | At some point I might consider stop supporting the Web. If all I want is to share text-based content, the Web is unnecessary and redundant. | Feb 18 05:14 |
| avalos | Maybe just redirect my website to a Gemini proxy or something. | Feb 18 05:15 |
| avalos | Btw, schestowitz__, I mentioned you on a Mastodon toot a while ago, I read an interesting post about Microsoft and FOSS: https://hackernoon.com/a-post-mortem-in-5-acts-how-microsoft-privatized-open-source-and-killed-javascript-in-the-process-5s5i33ma | Feb 18 05:20 |

| avalos | Well, it uses the term open source, but I think it applies to free software better, since open source is already a capitalist version of free software. | Feb 18 05:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Nothing stops you from just using older web standards. | Feb 18 05:31 |
| superkuh | At least until mega-corp browsers stop supporting HTTP themselves. | Feb 18 05:36 |
| superkuh | It won't be too long. | Feb 18 05:36 |

| Ariadne | i think fighting to keep the web as it is intended to be is actually our most urgent fight for software freedom at this point | Feb 18 06:30 |
| Ariadne | the web is also one of free software's greatest success stories | Feb 18 06:32 |
| Ariadne | it has largely embodied the values of software freedom since day 1, and we've even managed to beat back proprietary extensions like Flash | Feb 18 06:33 |

| psydroid | It's funny how it came to this, like a civilisation that reached its peak and then suddenly collapsed and all that is left are books about what the older civilisation looked like, which we might then try to recreate | Feb 18 07:07 |

| schestowitz__ | until the site's demise | Feb 18 07:09 |
| schestowitz__ | as the audience there was rapidly diminishing | Feb 18 07:09 |

| schestowitz__ | twitter it frantic, seeing that decline, and just trying to "monetise" now | Feb 18 07:09 |
| schestowitz__ | it used to aim for growth | Feb 18 07:09 |
| schestowitz__ | third parties, APIs, simple interfaces | Feb 18 07:10 |
| schestowitz__ | now it's all spying, ads, "suggested" stories [sic] | Feb 18 07:10 |
| schestowitz__ | which means no simple UI | Feb 18 07:10 |
| schestowitz__ | no "apps" other than Twitter's | Feb 18 07:10 |
| schestowitz__ | no html, except maybe nitter | Feb 18 07:10 |
| schestowitz__ | until Twitter shuts them down, too | Feb 18 07:11 |
| schestowitz__ | which will happen | Feb 18 07:11 |
| schestowitz__ | I used to follow some twitter accounts over rss | Feb 18 07:11 |
| schestowitz__ | inc. zoobab | Feb 18 07:11 |
| schestowitz__ | but they kept shutting down all the services which did the conversions | Feb 18 07:11 |
| schestowitz__ | now they mass-delete millions of users to attract advertisers, they believe | Feb 18 07:11 |
| schestowitz__ | but they might not have much audience to sell to those advertisers anymore | Feb 18 07:12 |
| schestowitz__ | [07:07] <psydroid> It's funny how it came to this, like a civilisation that reached its peak and then suddenly collapsed and all that is left are books about what the older civilisation looked like, which we might then try to recreate | Feb 18 07:12 |
| schestowitz__ | the atomic bomb made people rethink | Feb 18 07:12 |
| schestowitz__ | as suddenly unleashing the ultimate act of violence seemed collective untenable | Feb 18 07:13 |
| schestowitz__ | and then they came up with terms like "conventional weapons" | Feb 18 07:13 |
| schestowitz__ | in the case of the web and servers, clown computing is in a crunch point | Feb 18 07:13 |
| schestowitz__ | it's mainframe comeback | Feb 18 07:13 |
| schestowitz__ | and suddenly people realise they can just self-host and stuff, even from home | Feb 18 07:14 |
| schestowitz__ | so SBCs are on the rise | Feb 18 07:14 |
| schestowitz__ | corporate media posting spam. new example: https://www.maketecheasier.com/deal/all-new-amazon-echo-with-philips-hue-bulbs/ | Feb 18 07:14 |

| schestowitz__ | that was feasible 50 years ago | Feb 18 07:15 |
| schestowitz__ | but people would not be dumb enough to do it, except maybe the CIA, covertly, e.g. recording MLK having sex | Feb 18 07:15 |

| schestowitz__ | 'choice' | Feb 18 07:16 |
| psydroid | I'm curious as to what Intel and big tech were thinking | Feb 18 07:17 |
| psydroid | that SBCs would never be a thing because x86 would never hit such low power consumption levels and price points and nothing else would either | Feb 18 07:17 |
| psydroid | get businesses and individuals hooked now before they find out they can still host everything themselves, but they might want to switch hardware platforms | Feb 18 07:19 |
| psydroid | of course that was before AMD made its comeback | Feb 18 07:20 |

| DaemonFC[m] | The UK mostly managed to get a run of bad luck with that strain that mutated to spread faster and kill more people. | Feb 18 16:48 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The US voted for Trump, who just didn't care and surrounded himself with herd immunity pushers. | Feb 18 16:49 |
| Old_Man | Is that like when the soviets suffered their infamous "70 years of bad weather?" :D "It was just bad luck!" | Feb 18 16:50 |
| Old_Man | My spreadsheet shows that the UK was *always* screwing it up worse than the US, and did not just suddenly get worse with the appearance of the new strain. | Feb 18 16:50 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Nobody knows what's going on in Hungary exactly, because Orban doesn't have them tracking the problem and would lie about it even if they were. | Feb 18 16:50 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Nice | Feb 18 16:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Old_Man: Like everything else. The US does badly on things like scientific literacy. | Feb 18 16:56 |

| Old_Man | Belgium. China. India. Italy. Australia. All these places that like to feign condescension to the US, and their populations are dropping like flies from COVID-19, at much higher rates than the US. | Feb 18 16:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I doubt any of them will "cause cancer" but hey that's some unfounded accusation we can make. | Feb 18 16:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But the mRNA vaccines are the least likely to have unwanted side effects because they make the fewest questionable steps on the way to provoking an immune response. | Feb 18 16:59 |
| Old_Man | I wonder why people from those countries like to feign condescension to the US, when they're so much worse at saving their populations' lives when they get COVID-19? | Feb 18 16:59 |
| Old_Man | Do you think maybe it's jealousy? | Feb 18 16:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Typically, the simplest solution tends to be the better one. The adenovirus and attenuated virus vaccines have additional ingredients in them, and more parts of the virus, or even the virus itself, or a carrier virus we think was harmless and genetically modified. | Feb 18 17:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And the goal, in the end, is the same. Implant the mRNA for the spike protein into the cells. | Feb 18 17:01 |
| Old_Man | It's probably just jealousy. After all, the US produces a *lot* of effective, science-based health care, so after these European countries have mocked them for so many years, they're probably just jealous of the fact that the US is doing better at curing their COVID-19 patients than they are. | Feb 18 17:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | We used to think that Human Papillomavirus was harmless. | Feb 18 17:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It didn't seem to cause any problems. | Feb 18 17:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | For that matter, when scientists discovered Coronaviruses in the 1960s, they didn't research them that much because they were seen as the common cold, not something where a new one appears now and then and causes a wave of death before we just get used to it and it turns into a cold. | Feb 18 17:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <Old_Man "It's probably just jealousy. Aft"> Well, it was the United States and Germany that developed the better vaccination plans. | Feb 18 17:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The one being distributed in the UK is already known to be damned near useless against the South Africa variant, and was never as effective as mRNA vaccines in the first place. | Feb 18 17:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | This is what you get with nationalism. You get 5-6 different solutions and none of them are as good as if everyone had huddled and worked on the problem and shared notes. | Feb 18 17:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Everyone thought they'd get their own economy humming along again and they'd emerge from this stronger than their neighbors with advantages to themselves. | Feb 18 17:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's like there's a war, right, and you hope your neighbor's factories get bombed to shit, only in the modern world you need them because the economy is all connected like never before. | Feb 18 17:05 |
| Old_Man | Nah, vaccinations are effective at stopping people from *getting* the disease. The US *might* be doing better now in that metric as well, but the one in which the US is 83rd in the world, behind most of Europe/Canada/Australia etc., is in case fatality rate. | Feb 18 17:06 |
| Old_Man | That's a more general measure of who can effectively care for and cure their population. How are the hospitals? How are the treatments? | Feb 18 17:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's not like the end of the second world war where Europe was in ruins and the US gets to be a superpower for 80 years. | Feb 18 17:06 |
| Old_Man | US keeps its people alive wayyyy better than most of Europe, China, India, and most of the world. | Feb 18 17:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yes, but there's still plenty of people in the US who haven't gotten the disease. | Feb 18 17:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And if we act aggressively to prevent this from continuing to worsen, those other countries may still well have a bigger disaster in the end. | Feb 18 17:07 |
| Old_Man | I think you should stick with the Soviet Union's excuse. They were funnier. "Our people are starving because we've had 70 years of bad weather! Yeah! That's it! Not our fault! You're just lucky and we're unlucky!" :D | Feb 18 17:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But it doesn't really help our economy for that matter. | Feb 18 17:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Because we need those markets to do well and buy things from us, and we need them not to be all messed up because it ruins our import economy. | Feb 18 17:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's why even if the US suddenly, this very day, magically vaccinated every last man, woman, and child....the economy would still be seriously sluggish. | Feb 18 17:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The rest of the world has serious issues, and half the revenue for the S&P 500 comes from abroad, you know. | Feb 18 17:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So the economic problems would still be severe. | Feb 18 17:09 |
| Old_Man | Kinda makes one wonder what would happen if the rest of the world would *learn lessons* from the US, rather than *ignorantly mocking* the US. | Feb 18 17:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So we need to do well by doing good, and to that end, we need to hope, and help, the rest of the world to recover quickly too. | Feb 18 17:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Not just humanitarian reasons, you know. | Feb 18 17:10 |
| Old_Man | If they could do things more like the US, maybe they could achieve the lower case fatality rate the US has. Or have the fuller employment the US had before the pandemic. | Feb 18 17:10 |
| Old_Man | Setting an example to follow is a good form of helping. | Feb 18 17:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The case fatality rate here seems to be hovering around 1.6% right now. | Feb 18 17:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's being treated more effectively than it was when nobody knew what to do about it. | Feb 18 17:11 |
| Old_Man | Now if people in other countries could ask themselves, "how is the US down at #83 on the case fatality list?" and implement our methods, rather than attempting fake and unwarranted condescension and mockery, they might be doing better. | Feb 18 17:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Europe has had a chip on its shoulder for a while now. | Feb 18 17:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And I jsut don't get it. | Feb 18 17:11 |
| Old_Man | But, what can we say... jealousy is a powerful beast. | Feb 18 17:12 |
| Old_Man | Jealousy drives people to lie, it drives them to hate, it drives them to make up fake criticisms. | Feb 18 17:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's decadent, corrupt, overflowing with crime, and without being propped up by our military, they wouldn't have national defense either. | Feb 18 17:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The UK has allowed its military to atrophy to the point where they themselves wonder if they'll even have a blue sea Navy in the next few decades. | Feb 18 17:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The US has gotten a sneak preview of what a former superpower in its death throes 25 years ahead of us looks like. | Feb 18 17:15 |
| Old_Man | UK is #34 on the case fatality rate list, by the way. Compare that to US whose case fatality rate has dropped, from #50 to #83 just in the past few months. | Feb 18 17:15 |
| Old_Man | They're just really, really, *REALLY* not a country anyone should want to emulate. :D | Feb 18 17:16 |
| Old_Man | Much less accept mockery from. | Feb 18 17:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Things turn inward. People start yammering about how great things were 20-30 years ago. Politicians with extreme "solutions" say they can make it happen again, and fuck things up worse. | Feb 18 17:16 |
| MinceR | https://hugelolcdn.com/i/731323.jpg | Feb 18 17:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Roy even admitted that now that the EU's breaking up, the UK could be next. | Feb 18 17:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Northern Ireland has a majority that never wanted to be in it anyway. | Feb 18 17:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Scotland is demanding another independence referendum. | Feb 18 17:17 |
| Old_Man | Yeah, after looking at their performance with COVID-19, I wouldn't want to belong to the UK any more either. | Feb 18 17:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's what happens when you take by force people who despise you and then lord over them. | Feb 18 17:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And now with these idiots in England messing the national economy up so bad and threatening to bring the NHS crashing down by "saving it" don'tcha know, they're fed up. | Feb 18 17:19 |
| MinceR | to be fair, i wouldn't want to the EU either | Feb 18 17:19 |
| MinceR | s/to the/to belong to the/ | Feb 18 17:19 |
| Old_Man | Was the NHS responsible for treating people with COVID-19? | Feb 18 17:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The NHS had to stop what they were doing and save a gibbering idiot that's trying to shut them down, because he was shaking hands and not wearing a mask. | Feb 18 17:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Same thing happened here, but at least we got rid of ours shortly after. | Feb 18 17:20 |
| Old_Man | Because if so, bringing it "crashing down" *might* be the best thing for it. Obviously someone there has failed, very badly. | Feb 18 17:20 |
| Old_Man | If it was the NHS, then yes, disbanding the NHS may well save many lives. | Feb 18 17:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The closest thing we have to NHS is the VA, which has to cover the president too. | Feb 18 17:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The VA saved Trump while he kept demanding budget cuts to it while taking credit for Obama/Sanders' mostly successful reform law. | Feb 18 17:21 |
| Old_Man | Whatever he did, it was obviously far superior to the UK's NHS. | Feb 18 17:21 |
| Old_Man | The US has a much higher success rate at saving COVID-19 patients' lives than the UK does. | Feb 18 17:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | What the conservative parties in the UK want is something more like the US. | Feb 18 17:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The rich get whatever they want, most people get shitty high deductible plans with outrageous premiums, some of the poor get a Medicaid card that nobody even takes, and the rest get nothing at all. | Feb 18 17:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You lose twice with most health insurance plans in the US. | Feb 18 17:23 |
| Old_Man | Apparently the COVID-19 treatments available for most people are far superior than in most of the developed world. | Feb 18 17:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Because you pay $400-1,500 a month, then they stick you with $6,000 deductibles and 20-30% co-pays after that, and you can use it at 2-3 hospitals in your area, and if something happens where you can't make it there, you're on the hook for double the out of pocket costs. | Feb 18 17:24 |
| Old_Man | But, one wonders: for those who are fans of one-size-fits-all programs, why don't they implement their one-size-fits-all plans for those who like them and agree to participate and opt in voluntarily? | Feb 18 17:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So in the end you file bankruptcy anyway to stop them from suing you and taking your life savings, if you have any. | Feb 18 17:24 |
| Old_Man | If NHS is so cool, if medicare-for-all is so promising, if single-payer is so obviously beneficial: why force anyone to participate? Why not fund it only from voluntary participants, and pay out benefits only to those same voluntary participants? | Feb 18 17:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then you pray that nothing else happens for eight years. | Feb 18 17:25 |
| MinceR | because those would be one-size-fits-all-who-opts-in-voluntarily plans, not one-size-fits-all plans :> | Feb 18 17:25 |
| Old_Man | If those were any good, we would see it in COVID-19 survivor numbers, and then *everyone* would sign up voluntarily and opt-in. | Feb 18 17:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Mom's watching the system she voted for, defended, railed about being "better than Socialism" all fall down on top of her like a house with a rotten foundation. | Feb 18 17:26 |
| Old_Man | And for those who don't opt in, they're free to choose some different option. Why do all of those plans have to be enforced with violence? | Feb 18 17:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And she's still saying "If Biden shuts down Social Security!". I say, "Trump tried to. Said he would if he got another term.". | Feb 18 17:26 |
| Old_Man | That's probably not true. | Feb 18 17:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He "delayed" the payroll tax, but most employers kept sending it in anyway. I told mom, "He was trying to make it look like he gave people a massive raise ahead of the election, and then if he won, it would be too late for them to do anything about it when the tax kicked in and they had a huge fire to put out with the IRS.". | Feb 18 17:27 |
| Old_Man | That was a valuable lesson from 2016-2020: 99% of all criticisms made by Democrats are just blatantly false. | Feb 18 17:27 |

| Old_Man | Like when Biden lied about him and said he said to drink bleach? Fact check: FALSE. | Feb 18 17:27 |
| MinceR | seems to me most humans crave violence | Feb 18 17:28 |
| MinceR | at least living on the constant threat of violence | Feb 18 17:28 |
| Old_Man | The many, many Democrats who claimed that Trump said "there are good people on both sides," about white supremacists? Fact check: FALSE. | Feb 18 17:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The "delay" would raise your paychecks by 6.4% for 5 months, then tax time would kick in and you'd owe the IRS....6.4% of your pay from the last 5 months as a lump sum. | Feb 18 17:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Nice "tax cut", right? | Feb 18 17:28 |
| Old_Man | The many, many Democrats who claimed that Trump said he had groped women's genitalia? Fact check: FALSE. | Feb 18 17:28 |
| Old_Man | So, you have to look at the source of the criticism. If it's from his own party, or from third parties or something, it's probably true, but if it's anything a Democrat criticizes him for, it's probably an outrageous falsehood. | Feb 18 17:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | What Trump was basically trying to do is advance people their tax refund and call it a "tax cut". Most people get a refund, and this would have led to no refund. Some people owe the IRS, and they would owe them more. | Feb 18 17:29 |
| schestowitz__ | [17:21] <Old_Man> The US has a much higher success rate at saving COVID-19 patients' lives than the UK does. | Feb 18 17:30 |

| Old_Man | Told you that was probably not true. :D | Feb 18 17:31 |
| Old_Man | schestowitz__: you have it backwards. The US *over*stated its death rate counts by counting everyone who died *with* it as having died *from* it. | Feb 18 17:32 |
| Old_Man | Lots and lots of disinformation flowing around these days... so much driven by jealousy and partisan hatred. | Feb 18 17:34 |
| Old_Man | I guess that's the nice thing about having a science-based mindset: the jealousy, the hatred, the lying, the mockery, the attempted condescension, can just flow right off, because "science doesn't care what you believe," as Dr. Tyson says. :D | Feb 18 17:35 |

| schestowitz__ | *misportrayal | Feb 18 17:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <schestowitz__ "fear of medical bills"> It's terrifying. | Feb 18 17:58 |
| schestowitz__ | Chalmers Johnson and others used to joke about that empty rhetoric that nations critical of US foreign policy are just jealous of stuff like McDonalds and shopping malls | Feb 18 17:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You go to the hospital and it's $6,000 from the ambulance ride before you even get there. | Feb 18 17:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And then you go to the ER, and if they do anything at all, figure on a minimum bill of another $15,000. | Feb 18 17:59 |

| DaemonFC[m] | So there went over $20,000 and you don't know where it will go from there. | Feb 18 17:59 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz__: Many people go to the ER in an Uber. | Feb 18 18:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Because it's $20 and the Uber driver goes faster. :P | Feb 18 18:00 |
| schestowitz__ | those jealous people | Feb 18 18:00 |
| schestowitz__ | jealous of the people who take "uber" to the ER | Feb 18 18:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | When I went to the ER in Chicago, I didn't know what was wrong. I was having severe cluster headaches and I knew that I could at least spare myself a nice fat $1,500 copay to ride in an ambulance. | Feb 18 18:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So I took the train there, hoping I wouldn't lose consciousness in front of a bunch of pickpockets and neighborhood thugs. | Feb 18 18:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If I knew I'd be bankrupt anyway in another year I would have taken the ambulance and dodged the hospital, but you know.... | Feb 18 18:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Hindsight is perfect. | Feb 18 18:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Some doctor told me I cheated the other hospitals by throwing them in. | Feb 18 18:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I said, "You mean the ones with the $200 million dollar a year CEOs?". | Feb 18 18:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're rich. They must have earned it because they're rich. They have superior genes because they're rich. | Feb 18 18:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Bill Gates's daughter said her dad has good genes on CNN. | Feb 18 18:07 |
| MinceR | the genes for sociopathy? | Feb 18 18:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | She said she wished they could inject her dad into her. I was like eww gross. | Feb 18 18:07 |
| MinceR | kinky | Feb 18 18:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Anyway, ignoring the obvious sex jokes, I think this is what happened with Agent Smith in the Matrix. | Feb 18 18:07 |
| MinceR | maybe she needs to consult a psychologist | Feb 18 18:07 |
| MinceR | they injected bill gates into Agent Smith? | Feb 18 18:08 |
| MinceR | poor guy. i mean, program. | Feb 18 18:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | No, Smith became a virus and started injecting himself into other people. | Feb 18 18:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Overwriting their minds with his. It's how he escaped into the real world. | Feb 18 18:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'd really hate to be that Smith, you know. Or any of them that had to overwrite people that eventually die. | Feb 18 18:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The programs would never die, and the Matrix isn't really as bad as the real world. It was just designed to cause people's minds to go into a busy loop. | Feb 18 18:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Smith pontificates that the Matrix was too perfect in the beginning and it caused people to go crazy because they couldn't accept an imperfect world where they wanted for nothing. | Feb 18 18:11 |
| MinceR | maybe they're networked | Feb 18 18:11 |
| MinceR | and so Smith just gets more bodies to exist in and control simultaneously | Feb 18 18:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I never understood Smith's explanation for why the Matrix has to replicate all the bad stuff in the world or else we go crazy. | Feb 18 18:11 |
| MinceR | it's because humans are crazy and evil | Feb 18 18:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But I guess even rich people commit suicide sometimes. | Feb 18 18:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So you figure we really would go crazier if we weren't somehow getting off on depression, anger, anxiety, and fear? | Feb 18 18:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | No problems to solve and your mind does sort of turn into oatmeal. | Feb 18 18:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Apparently, they've studied what happens when people retire and have nothing to do. | Feb 18 18:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They become senile much faster. | Feb 18 18:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Of course, "they" might just be saying that to get people to accept the fact that their pension is being stolen from them, but it's "for the best" because "I'd lose my mind." if I retired anyway. | Feb 18 18:14 |

| MinceR | dunno, normally i'd expect people to double down on their usual making life hell for each other | Feb 18 18:15 |
| MinceR | but maybe ideal conditions would make that more difficult | Feb 18 18:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: I've literally never seen anyone say "Oh damn it, now I have all the time in the world to read and go fly fishing.". | Feb 18 18:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | "Yay, now I get to work at McDonalds when I'm 80!" | Feb 18 18:15 |
| MinceR | reading is too difficult for most people | Feb 18 18:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | A tiny pension and some time to yourself is too much. | Feb 18 18:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Bill Gates, Bezos, and Musk need more money! | Feb 18 18:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Mom kind of dug a hole for herself on the retirement thing. | Feb 18 18:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | She took a job at a Catholic retirement home because they promised her a juicy pension, where other employers had 401(k) accounts, and since the church is a church and not a "business", they aren't covered by the law that requires them to buy insurance from the government in case it has to take over the pension and make people whole. | Feb 18 18:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So as the church continues filing bankruptcy against its employees, they lose everything they were told they would get. | Feb 18 18:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Stay classy, Catholics! | Feb 18 18:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Gotta keep the Pope in his little nation state palace. | Feb 18 18:20 |
| MinceR | :> | Feb 18 18:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: And they offer a 403(b), which is owned by you, with a match, which they can't take away. | Feb 18 18:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But she opted into a pension that they can take away to pay off young men who were molested by their priest. | Feb 18 18:22 |
| MinceR | how selfless of her | Feb 18 18:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It was pretty obvious this was "coming" (sorry), even before she opted in 20 years ago, because of all of those huge settlements the church was paying out back then. | Feb 18 18:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: Well, on paper the pension looked bigger, but in reality it's also not secure because it's a pot of money that the government doesn't insure and doesn't monitor for solvency. | Feb 18 18:24 |
| MinceR | pension is just what one wants to gamble with | Feb 18 18:24 |

| MinceR | she could also go to the casino for "insurance" | Feb 18 18:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | She would have had better odds at a casino. | Feb 18 18:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Sometimes they let people win. It's the law. | Feb 18 18:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There are legally mandated payout percentages, but it's always way less than what they take in. | Feb 18 18:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The casinos don't mind because if nobody ever won, nobody would play. | Feb 18 18:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Like the lottery. | Feb 18 18:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And the payout percentage doesn't mean you will ever win anything. | Feb 18 18:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It just means that over a given amount of time, that game has to pay out, say, 70 cents on the dollar, to someone, or in amounts small enough to entice them to lose more. | Feb 18 18:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So it's friendly to the casino. | Feb 18 18:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Mandy was asking why the casinos would give you free booze. | Feb 18 18:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I said, "It makes you stupid and sloppy so you'll lose more money.". | Feb 18 18:28 |

| CrystalMath | he should have tried drinking their blood | Feb 18 18:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Also, if there is money in there, and with a private account you know there is, you can direct the investments, whereas god only knows what the pension fund is messed up in. | Feb 18 18:31 |
| CrystalMath | i heard it worked for Erzsebet Bathory | Feb 18 18:31 |
| schestowitz__ | What's so good about Bill's "jeans" (genes)? His feminine voice? | Feb 18 18:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's probably out there making speculative investments that they can project will pay out enough money so they can screw the fund on the front end and spend elsewhere, and then the fund craps out. | Feb 18 18:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's what the State of Illinois has done. | Feb 18 18:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | When it's your money, you look for something solid, something real, something diversified based on how much risk you'll accept. | Feb 18 18:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <CrystalMath "he should have tried drinking th"> I've heard of rich people having unnecessary transfusions saying it makes them feel younger. | Feb 18 18:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They literally are vampires. | Feb 18 18:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There are dangers of getting a blood transfusion, so I don't know why anyone would do it unless it was medically necessary. | Feb 18 18:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | One probably won't hurt you, but if you start doing it all the time because what the hell. They'll let rich people do anything..... | Feb 18 18:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You start running serious risk of adverse reactions, the transfused blood attacking and damaging your organs and bone marrow, disease (even with screening, they miss some), and so on. | Feb 18 18:37 |

| DaemonFC[m] | They can threaten to deport your spouse if you don't "submit to biometrics". | Feb 18 19:36 |

| MinceR | is the absence of a punishment a "reward"? | Feb 18 19:59 |
| XRevan86 | The Soviet–Afghan War was a disgrace. But "booby trapped children's toys meant to go off and take a kid's arm or something" is a bit much. | Feb 18 20:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <CrystalMath "DaemonFC: you can always move to"> His 401(k) money and our Social Security will probably still go a lot further in the Philippines when we're old enough to take the money and run. | Feb 18 20:01 |

| DaemonFC[m] | The big problem with the water here is just that it tastes gross. | Feb 18 21:24 |

| DaemonFC[m] | MARISOL is doing her part to use it up getting water delivered from a truck. | Feb 18 21:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I have a dental appointment next month, I just can't remember what day. | Feb 18 21:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I remember they wanted to sell me some sort of a "discount plan". | Feb 18 21:27 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: They want to get less money from you? How noble of them. | Feb 18 21:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I looked it over, it's not that impressive. They probably "plan" on people forgetting they have the "plan" and not using it or canceling it. | Feb 18 21:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <XRevan86 "DaemonFC: They want to get less "> No, they want you to pay them more money to pay them less money. | Feb 18 21:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | This is the sort of crap they'd get mom with. | Feb 18 21:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Because you'll pay them more money than you'll save on the services you're likely to need, over time. | Feb 18 21:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's how "plans" work. | Feb 18 21:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's like when you buy tires for your car, then the salesman says oh for $30 a tire we'll guarantee them against anything that may happen. | Feb 18 21:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So you are guaranteed to pay them $120, but nothing may happen. | Feb 18 21:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Or you might blow one of them out on a nail and you paid $120 for that, but instead of getting a new tire, you get one for half price because there was half the remaining tread on that one, so instead of a new tire for $120, you got a new tire for $180. | Feb 18 21:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And that's if you remember to keep the paperwork safe, and the blowout happens within towing distance of one of their stores. | Feb 18 21:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | With the dental discount plan, you pay about what two cleanings cost and you get two cleanings, at a discount, and then you get locked in to using them as your dentist if anything really serious happens because you have the plan and nobody else takes it. | Feb 18 21:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So you're really paying them to hold you hostage. | Feb 18 21:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It also flags suckers, which I'm sure if they're a crooked dentist, they'll like even more. | Feb 18 21:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Because they can tell you anything's going wrong with your mouth and know you won't even compare prices and get another opinion before they bust out the machinery, because hey, you're on a plan. | Feb 18 21:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Don't buy extended warranties, service plans, or discount plans. Whatever they call them. | Feb 18 21:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's cash in the trash and they know half the people will lose the paperwork, then by the time something does break, and even if they honor the plan, then you've paid ten times the amount of just declining all the plans and then replacing the thing that broke. | Feb 18 21:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Walmart is big on plans. They have plans. Lots of plans. They plan to pick your pocket, backed by Allstate. If something happens to this here $50 microwave, your $17 plan will cover it. Just hit yes on the screen. | Feb 18 21:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then if your $50 microwave craps out in the first 12 months and you bring it back and show them your $17 plan, they'll say "Sorry, you have to go through the manufacturer's warranty." which you get with the microwave. | Feb 18 21:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The manufacturer's warranty is even more fun, because they'll say "Oh sure, just ship it both ways at your expense and then after the $30 in postage we'll replace your $50 microwave. | Feb 18 21:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: I guess I'm taking the long way around here to get to the point. | Feb 18 21:46 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The whole world is a hustle. Everyone is always trying to push something on you. | Feb 18 21:46 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Bill Gates isn't a "genius", as his daughter (who wants to have him in her) put it. | Feb 18 21:47 |

| Old_Man | But the really nice thing is how those of us not involved in "the hustle" are now at greater liberty to isolate ourselves from the liars, the hate-screamers, and the hustlers. | Feb 18 21:56 |

| DaemonFC[m] | <Old_Man "There it is: "Enlightenment Now""> Longer happier lives.... | Feb 18 22:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | As long as they don't depend on access to medicine, pensions, or a good job, I guess. | Feb 18 22:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Sure! | Feb 18 22:09 |
| MinceR | if they used to have less happy lives than _this_, why did they foist life on their children? | Feb 18 22:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I was talking with mom just this morning about that. How lots of people don't have any plans for making money but they just keep popping out babies and taking them to the welfare office. | Feb 18 22:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | She was talking about Gonad the Barbarian's daughter Erica, who started when she was 15, and had three of them by 20. | Feb 18 22:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | She said he didn't put his foot down on much with his kids but he twisted her ear to get her to go get a tubal ligation. | Feb 18 22:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The doctor refused to do it because she wasn't 21 yet. | Feb 18 22:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I said, "What the hell does that have to do with anything? She was 20 and had 3 of them. That's more than enough!". | Feb 18 22:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | She said, "I know, but that's what the doctors were saying. So he waited for 10 months biting his nails hoping she wouldn't pop out a fourth one, and she didn't. He drove her down there on her 21st birthday.". | Feb 18 22:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Oh one of those people. Starts popping them out at 15, dad's in prison if we even know who he is..... | Feb 18 22:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And she's white in the middle of Trump country, so free pass. | Feb 18 22:14 |
| Old_Man | DaemonFC[m], you kind of missed the point. People outside the hustle can employ each other, save money outside of the hustle (again, that bitcoin price is lookin mighty fine today), can provide medical care for each other, etc. | Feb 18 22:15 |
| Old_Man | We don't need to participate in the dishonesty that everyone else does, to improve our own quality of life. We have free software, for example, and can live just fine without, say, Microsoft and Apple. | Feb 18 22:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, we had what was called "lodge care plans" where people just joined together and hired a doctor to treat the group, and the American Medical Association formed to get rid of that. | Feb 18 22:16 |
| MinceR | how am i going to find someone outside the hustle to employ me? | Feb 18 22:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They felt that they weren't being paid enough. They got the government to fuck everything up, and now without insurance it costs $400 just to visit the doctor for 15 minutes. | Feb 18 22:17 |
| Old_Man | Ask them pointed questions during your interviews, to ensure your potential employers share your values. | Feb 18 22:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Nobody wants to rock the boat, even while they're suffering under this system. | Feb 18 22:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Even 20 years ago it wasn't anywhere near this bad. You go to the doctor uninsured, he gave you a cash discount. Cost maybe $50. | Feb 18 22:18 |
| Old_Man | You can probably see that again when doctors start accepting bitcoin. | Feb 18 22:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Probably not. | Feb 18 22:19 |
| Old_Man | Part of the reason for the steep cost-of-living increase is typical Democrat spending programs that drive up monetary inflation. | Feb 18 22:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Doctors just take whatever inflation is running and multiply it by 6 each year to get the new figure. | Feb 18 22:19 |
| Old_Man | Bitcoin helps to address that failure of typical Democrat governance. | Feb 18 22:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I wish I could get a raise like that, and I doubt I'm alone on that. | Feb 18 22:20 |
| Old_Man | Oh, and well-intended subsidies as well, that actually just end up driving up costs, as tuition and health care have both shown. | Feb 18 22:20 |
| Old_Man | My bitcoin savings did better than that. | Feb 18 22:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yes, the government comes along and pours unlimited funding into shitty health insurance plans that are designed by the insurance company to make sure that very little of it ever gets paid out into treatments. | Feb 18 22:21 |
| Old_Man | Also, I've been quite happy to see how hydroponics videos have really taken off on youtube in recent years... apparently there are very large communities that have embraced greater self-sufficiency for all of their basic needs. | Feb 18 22:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Trump killed the no insurance fine and as soon as the fine from the IRS was gone, 2 million people immediately dropped the insurance. | Feb 18 22:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | What does that tell you? | Feb 18 22:21 |
| Old_Man | There are probably 2/3 of voters who recognized those failures of Obamacare and voted against them, is the good news. Our community of recognizing such economic illiteracy is quite large. | Feb 18 22:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The only people keeping it are the ones paying little or nothing for it. | Feb 18 22:22 |
| Old_Man | My state even passed a law that hospitals have to start publishing their prices on their websites now! That should help with some competition and accountability. | Feb 18 22:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Either because it's free (Medicaid) or like $20-40 because subsidies hide most of that iceberg. | Feb 18 22:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And you'd be crazy for passing up $20-40 insurance, right? | Feb 18 22:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If we could get that, I'd get it. | Feb 18 22:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <Old_Man "My state even passed a law that "> The no surprise bills is a federal law too now apparently. | Feb 18 22:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Illinois had that a long time ago. | Feb 18 22:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Didn't help. | Feb 18 22:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | All the ER has to do to comply with it is stick out a sign like "Waiting in the recovery room after surgery: $150 a minute". | Feb 18 22:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If Will Rogers was around today he'd have to say the difference between death and health insurance is that death doesn't get worse each time Congress meets. | Feb 18 22:25 |
| Old_Man | ...just like the economists warned would happen, back when Biden was calling Obamacare a "big fucking deal" | Feb 18 22:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Ironically, the people best suited to navigate this world are the have nothings because they're judgment-proof. | Feb 18 22:26 |
| Old_Man | That's the thesis of Charles Koch's excellent book, "Believe In People." | Feb 18 22:26 |
| Old_Man | It's quite brilliant, his advocacy for grassroots solutions rather than top-down assertions of control and dominance. | Feb 18 22:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | "Pile of rotting cash" is actually better than leaving it all dangling in the bank for a judgment creditor to ambush and take. | Feb 18 22:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Most people in America are in way more danger from the hospital than scammers and people hacking into their bank. | Feb 18 22:27 |
| Old_Man | He voices that value very well. | Feb 18 22:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If people scam you, there's banking regulations in some cases where the bank has to make you whole again. If the bank itself fails, you get your money back from the government. | Feb 18 22:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If your appendix ruptures, the hospital sues you, takes everything, and doesn't leave you enough to pay your landlord next month. | Feb 18 22:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz__ seriously underestimates the danger ratio of taking a COVID vaccine that's not well tested vs. ending up in the hospital with COVID. | Feb 18 22:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Because in America, even if you survive COVID, you'll get the bill and wish you hadn't. | Feb 18 22:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's why he says lots of folks die at home with it. | Feb 18 22:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It was bad enough to require hospitalization but they were more afraid of the bill than the disease. | Feb 18 22:31 |
| Old_Man | That is, of course, the very reason why bankruptcy exists. | Feb 18 22:31 |
| Old_Man | So people don't have to worry about that. | Feb 18 22:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I can't file again until 2028! | Feb 18 22:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So I mean, I cannot rack up a hospital bill again for probably, oh, 6 more years at least. | Feb 18 22:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You can sort of fend them off because you're probably not the first in line to be sued by the collection agency. | Feb 18 22:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Maybe for a year. | Feb 18 22:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'd start spending down anything past the bankruptcy exemption and file the day you're eligible. | Feb 18 22:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But yeah, you can file and then you're on your own for 8 years. | Feb 18 22:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Where anything that happens, you're on your own. | Feb 18 22:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's not really a plan so much as it is an emergency valve that became a plan because nobody can pay bills like these. | Feb 18 22:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Even with BAPCA, US bankruptcy law mostly is rooted in a 1978 law. In 1978, medical debt wasn't a major issue like it is now. | Feb 18 22:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Healthcare was fairly cheap. Most people had good union jobs that paid for it 100%./ | Feb 18 22:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | A number of things have happened since 1978 that opened up "health insurance" to more people, so doctors and hospitals no longer have any incentive not to sock it to you if you're uninsured. | Feb 18 22:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The market is distorted by all of this freebie shit, and since the doctors don't make a ton off them, they go where they can. Take people's houses, cars, and bank balance. | Feb 18 22:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The government is mainly focused on free insurance (Medicaid) for people who are poorer than Job's turkey. | Feb 18 22:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So it incentivizes people to save no money and work a crappy job so the state is forced to do something with them. | Feb 18 22:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Because they accumulate savings, work more hours, or get a good job, then they lose Medicaid and have to pay thousands of dollars. | Feb 18 22:39 |
| MinceR | 18 231722 < Old_Man> Ask them pointed questions during your interviews, to ensure your potential employers share your values. | Feb 18 22:40 |
| MinceR | i already know they do not | Feb 18 22:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's only two answers here. Medicare for everyone, or the government cutting those folks who get Medicaid and Medicare loose and letting the market dictate the price without a captive audience of patients. | Feb 18 22:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You can draw out your retirement without penalty to pay a disastrous medical bill. | Feb 18 22:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But if you file bankruptcy they can't touch your retirement account even if it's above your exemption allowance. | Feb 18 22:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Bankruptcy is a better idea than emptying your retirement account. Not that they want people to know that. | Feb 18 22:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Whatever you have in there is probably going to knock you back to square one and you'll retire as a pauper. | Feb 18 22:46 |
