[01:08]	DaemonFC	---
[01:09]	DaemonFC	So according to the IRS, if you get raped by your boss like that person on Reddit says they were, you would pay taxes on the settlement.
[01:09]	DaemonFC	Because although emotional distress might cause physical symptoms, it is not an "injury" for the purposes of a tax exemption.

[02:15]	DaemonFC	Explaining to young person why "the IRS hasn't given me trouble so far" about unfiled taxes is not a good thing to believe.
[02:15]	DaemonFC	> The IRS usually catches up with people years later, and having lots of unfiled taxes that they haven't said anything about yet does not mean you don't have a major problem brewing.
[02:15]	DaemonFC	> If they eventually file substitute for returns based on what they know, they give you the standard deductions for those years and nothing else, which can be enough to turn a small tax obligation or even a refund into a large tax obligation with penalties, fines, and interest.
[02:15]	DaemonFC	> Also, failure to file a tax return is a criminal offense for each year you were required to and didn't and would have owed them something, if they want to pursue it.
[02:15]	DaemonFC	> All people do by not filing is hurt themselves. The IRS doesn't consider most people a priority because they'll just come hurt them a lot more eventually, when they get themselves into a big enough pickle, and start slapping liens on anything they own and garnishing their wages and bank accounts. Good luck selling a car with a tax lien on it. Also, you'll go to ask Social Security for money someday and have no earnings record if you "get away with it" 
[02:15]	DaemonFC	for decades somehow. Seen it happen to people.
[02:15]	DaemonFC	> Hire a tax person who can fix this and get right with the IRS.

[05:01]	DaemonFC	schestowitz: Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
[05:01]	DaemonFC	I think her tax lady mentioned that it happened because she got a glimpse of what my mom was going through with him.
[05:01]	DaemonFC	Knew mom would get a laugh out of that.
[05:02]	DaemonFC	Then of course because he's who he is, he didn't have the $9,000, so the fail to pay penalties and interest starts racking up.
[05:02]	DaemonFC	The penalty caps out at 25% of the due amount eventually.
[05:02]	DaemonFC	But then they add interest at the Fed Funds rate plus 3%.
[05:03]	DaemonFC	So right now that would be close to 10% interest I think.
[05:03]	DaemonFC	So by now that could have snowballed into over $15,000 and counting.
[05:04]	DaemonFC	schestowitz: Since the IRS makes a profit on taxes outstanding and since interest rates are really high right now and they're doing that plus 3%, they have no need to seize his house and cars and do a tax sale, yet.
[05:05]	DaemonFC	At 10% I think what you owe would double over about 8 years. They'll do something to him eventually.
[05:05]	DaemonFC	If inflation really is down to just under 4% and they're charging him 10%....
[05:05]	DaemonFC	Why go after him right away?
[05:06]	DaemonFC	Just slap a lien on everything and sell it at a tax auction later.

[17:28]	TR News	"every single billboard is advertising some kind of AI company. Every business plan has the word AI in it, even if the business itself has no AI in it." https://locusmag.com/2023/12/commentary-cory-doctorow-what-kind-of-bubble-is-ai/
[17:29]	TR News	"Like Uber, the massive investor subsidies for AI have produced a sugar high of temporarily satisfied users. Fooling around feeding prompts to an image generator or a large language model can be fun, and playful communities have sprung up around these subsidized, free-to-use tools (less savory communities have also come together to produce nonconsensual pornography, fraud materials, and hoaxes)."
[17:30]	TR News	"Even more important, these models are expensive to run. Even if a bankrupt AI companys model and servers could be acquired for pennies on the dollar, even if the new owners could be shorn of any overhanging legal liability from looming copyright cases..."
[17:30]	TR News	"...even if the eye-watering salaries commanded by AI engineers collapsed, the electricity bill for each query to power the servers and their chillers would still make running these giant models very expensive."
[17:30]	TR News	"Do the potential paying customers for these large models add up to enough money to keep the servers on? Thats the 13 trillion dollar question, and the answer is the difference between WorldCom and Enron, or dotcoms and cryptocurrency."
[17:31]	TR News	"In other words, an AI-supported radiologist should spend exactly the same amount of time considering your X-ray, and then see if the AI agrees with their judgment, and, if not, they should take a closer look. AI should make radiology more expensive, in order to make it more accurate."
[17:31]	TR News	"AI companies are implicitly betting that their customers will buy AI for highly consequential automation, fire workers, and cause physical, mental and economic harm to their own customers as a result, somehow escaping liability for these harms. Early indicators are that this bet wont pay off."
[17:32]	TR News	"There will be a lot of people who know PyTorch and TensorFlow, too both of these are open source projects, but are effectively controlled by Meta and Google, respectively. Perhaps theyll be wrestled away from their corporate owners, forked and made more broadly applicable, after those corporate behemoths move on from their money-losing Big AI bets."
[17:33]	TR News	"Our policymakers are putting a lot of energy into thinking about what theyll do if the AI bubble doesnt pop wrangling about AI ethics and AI safety.

A lot of that could also be gained just by improving libraries and frameworks used to reduce repetitive and/or boilerplate code."
[17:34]	schestowitz	"Keep in mind that a lot more time is spent _reading_ code than writing it; you cant modify existing code unless you can read it and be sure what it does and what the effects of your changes will be. So generating more boilerplate code might fix a few problems in the very short term (over a few weeks, or often even just days), but creates a larger problem (often referred to as technical debt) over the long term."

[20:18]	DaemonFC	> Every recognized religious group in Austria can collect church tax at a rate of 1.1%, though currently only the Catholic and Protestant churches make use of that opportunity. Church tax is compulsory for Catholics in Austria.
[20:18]	DaemonFC	> This tax was introduced into Austria by the German government in 1939 after the 1938 Anschluss (annexation of Austria into Germany). After Austria received national independence again after World War II the tax was retained in order to keep the churches independent of political powers.[3]
[20:18]	DaemonFC	----
[20:18]	DaemonFC	A law enacted by the Nazis.
[20:18]	DaemonFC	MinceR: There's actually a website operated by the US government where you can go and just give them your money.
[20:19]	DaemonFC	Voluntarily.
[20:19]	DaemonFC	A law from the 1960s said that the Treasury is required to maintain a method for private citizens to "help reduce the deficit".
[20:20]	DaemonFC	You know, that deficit that's going up $4 trillion a year.
[20:20]	DaemonFC	:)
[20:21]	DaemonFC	Unless private citizens got together and channeled about 1/4 of the entire GDP to that site, then the deficit would still keep going up.
[20:21]	DaemonFC	That's atop every tax and fee and tariff the government already takes.

[20:23]	MinceR	but slightly less quickly!
[20:26]	DaemonFC	MinceR: Pitch in. Buy the state a fraction of a second longer.
[20:26]	MinceR	:>
[20:27]	DaemonFC	"The English colonies which later became the United States had tax provisions to support religion, but the Constitution of the United States explicitly separates church and state, and no church tax is levied from citizens. Churches are generally exempt from paying taxes.[27] The United States Supreme Court has held that tax exemption for churches is constitutional under the Establishment Clause[28] and that churches and religious organizations may be 
[20:27]	DaemonFC	subject to a general sales and use tax;[29] however, the Court has not addressed whether government may enact a specific "church tax".[30] The Establishment Clause of the US Constitution prohibits the US federal government and (through incorporation doctrine)[31] the 50 state governments from establishing a state religion or favoring one religion over another.[32]"
[20:27]	DaemonFC	----
[20:28]	DaemonFC	Theoretically, the federal government could lay down a "church tax" using the IRS, as long as the taxpayer volunteered to pay it and could stop paying it whenever they wanted to.
[20:28]	DaemonFC	They couldn't just start taking money, give it to whichever church they wanted to, and not stop.
[20:28]	DaemonFC	But there's no system for collecting that.
[20:29]	DaemonFC	Many State tax return forms ask questions about which government functions you want to donate your return to, or even more money than your return.
[20:29]	DaemonFC	I always answer "none".

[20:37]	MinceR	yet another reason to abolish the state
[20:37]	DaemonFC	They now are starting to want your government ID to look at legal pornography.
[20:37]	DaemonFC	Why?
[20:38]	DaemonFC	These laws can't be Constitutional.
[20:38]	MinceR	it gives them the warm fuzzies to encroach on more of your private life
[20:38]	MinceR	ASPD is like that
[20:38]	DaemonFC	Porn is Free Speech. If it's not, you can't copyright it.
[20:38]	MinceR	when was the last time a usian politician actually cared about the constitution?
[20:38]	DaemonFC	You can't copyright an obscenity, and you can copyright porn so it's not legally an obscenity.
[20:38]	MinceR	why would they?
[20:39]	DaemonFC	If it's not an obscenity it's speech, and if it's speech, everyone has the right to view it, including minors because the First Amendment applies to everyone.
[20:39]	MinceR	afaik there's no part of that literally says "if you have ASPD, you get whatever you want"
[20:39]	MinceR	even if the whole legal system of any state basically tends to boil down to that
[20:39]	DaemonFC	MinceR: People like the BLOBSTER say I has ass burgers. You can't talk about me.
[20:40]	MinceR	globster?
[20:40]	DaemonFC	I took my cat in for more blood tests.
[20:40]	DaemonFC	They need to possibly adjust her medicine.
[20:41]	DaemonFC	I told them that no matter how big my couch or bed are, a little cat manages to sprawl out and take the entire thing somehow.
[20:41]	DaemonFC	MinceR: There was a guy in there that caught some feral cats in some animal live traps.
[20:41]	DaemonFC	He was in there taking them in for shots and to be spayed.
[20:42]	DaemonFC	He says he has 11 cats right now.
[20:42]	DaemonFC	I'm not going to say anything to anyone.
[20:42]	DaemonFC	The government here has an ordinance about maximum number of animals per house.
[20:42]	DaemonFC	I  think it's like 4 or something.
[20:43]	DaemonFC	The point of the law is to let them do something about animal hoarders. But this guy is probably feeding them if he's giving them vet visits and paying for it.
[20:43]	DaemonFC	So why would anyone rat him out to the State?
[20:44]	DaemonFC	The alternative is to have feral cat colonies where they have litter after litter and have to live outside in harsh winters, maybe not find enough food, maybe get attacked by rabid animals.
[20:44]	DaemonFC	MinceR: People with loud kids just moved into the studio next door.
[20:44]	DaemonFC	Looks like I'll be leaving my stereo on all day.
[20:44]	MinceR	:>
[20:45]	DaemonFC	MinceR: Mom was going crazy last night about some article where a guy accused of rape took a plea deal.
[20:45]	DaemonFC	I explained that taking a plea to avoid prison doesn't mean nothing happened to him.
[20:45]	DaemonFC	More than 80% fail probation and go to prison anyway.
[20:46]	DaemonFC	And he's on a sex offender list now that's designed to make life very difficult.
[20:46]	DaemonFC	In the end he'll either end up in prison or wish he was there or kill himself.
[20:46]	DaemonFC	Why does she think nothing happened to him because he took a plea deal?
[20:47]	DaemonFC	Being on probation isn't fun, for any reason, even misdemeanor shit.
[20:47]	DaemonFC	Just for the lowest misdemeanor, they make you check in with them every week, piss in a cup while someone watches to see if you're on drugs, find a job, do community service, go to therapy, and do a bunch of other shit, or they won't let you go.
[20:48]	DaemonFC	Felony probation with the sex offender list is much, much worse.
[20:48]	DaemonFC	MinceR: It's not their problem if nobody will hire you.
[20:48]	DaemonFC	You violate probation if you can't find a job.
[20:48]	DaemonFC	And they never let you forget you're not running your own life.
[20:49]	DaemonFC	So you get to hit the pavement competing with people who are not on probation (and maybe even the list) for jobs, during a bad economy where they fire people for getting the flu to say they don't have any layoffs.
[20:49]	DaemonFC	And if you don't find work, they just violate your probation or make it go on forever.
[20:50]	DaemonFC	Like most things the State does, it does it because it's convenient and cheap for the State, then they can hurt you and say they're giving you a privilege.
[20:51]	DaemonFC	If mother thinks that this is something that only goes on in New York, she's wrong.
[20:51]	DaemonFC	The Indiana criminal system is overwhelmed with shit and wants rid of it in the cheapest way possible too.
[20:51]	DaemonFC	That leads to miscarriages of justice.
[20:52]	DaemonFC	schestowitz: Google's news aggregator on the Android phones is pulling up more and more tabloid shit.
[20:53]	DaemonFC	Anything that even looks like news wants money from Google now, so it's easier to throw in articles about a celebrity scratching their butt.
[20:54]	MinceR	let me guess, the state made it so anyone who gets their shit aggregated by goolag and wants money from them can actually get money from them
[20:55]	DaemonFC	It's very likely that they will.

[21:00]	DaemonFC	He was not petitioning for the SAFE-T Act because the prosecutor threatened to file to detain him.
[21:01]	DaemonFC	So he had his sister put down $3,000 to bond him out of jail. He was in there for 18 days before she could come up with it, since his case was in the legacy cash bond system.
[21:01]	DaemonFC	If he doesn't show up for court, they take the $3,000 and he owes them another $27,000.
[21:01]	DaemonFC	Then they add a charge of bail jumping.
[21:02]	DaemonFC	If your case is a legacy one you have the choice between bonding out with cash or asking for a conversion to the cashless system, but if you get the cashless system, the prosecutor gets to take a crack at detaining you with no amount of cash that can bail you out.

[23:09]	DaemonFC	I'm sure they would rather sell you another $200-300 handle when you could get a battery off the Internet for $5.
[23:10]	DaemonFC	The "guts" are a lot more complex than the old ones though.
[23:11]	DaemonFC	There's at least three processors in this brush and a whole printed circuitboard.
[23:11]	MinceR	instead i switched to a brush with a li-ion battery
[23:19]	DaemonFC	MinceR: So I sat down to continue Hannibal on Amazon Prime video since they throw it in with Amazon Prime.
[23:20]	DaemonFC	Only to be told that I can't continue watching it unless I pay to subscribe to AMC+ through Amazon.
[23:20]	DaemonFC	So that I can watch a show that was canceled.
[23:21]	DaemonFC	Every time you sit down to watch something on something you pay for, you're told you have to subscribe to three other things in the app you're already paying for.
[23:21]	DaemonFC	Disney does this too.
[23:22]	DaemonFC	They own Hulu and ESPN, but if you pay for Disney Plus they make you pay to watch something in their other apps.
[23:22]	DaemonFC	We've got to be u; to at least a dozen streaming disservices for TV alone already.
[23:22]	DaemonFC	And the library has Hannibal on Blu Ray.
[23:22]	DaemonFC	So I've put in a request to borrow all three seasons.
[23:23]	DaemonFC	schestowitz: Fuck this.
[23:23]	MinceR	lol
[23:23]	DaemonFC	The streaming apps. Fuck them all to death.
[23:23]	DaemonFC	My plan is, to FUCK THEM ALL....TO DEATH!
[23:23]	DaemonFC	"No, what do you really mean by that?"
[23:23]	DaemonFC	Garrison: "I'm literally going to fuck them all to death. That's it. That's my plan."
[23:24]	DaemonFC	Then he climbs over the Canadian border wall and fucks the Prime Minister of Canada to death, stopping to snort a popper halfway through.
[23:25]	MinceR	:)
[23:26]	DaemonFC	MinceR: I usually watch epic movies, anime, various Sci/Fi and Horror. I've watched probably every episode of MST3K including the revival on Netflix, by borrowing it from the library.
[23:26]	DaemonFC	A lot of those really bad movies came from Canada.
[23:26]	DaemonFC	They were like, some sort of film student project in some cases, like The Final Sacrifice.
[23:26]	MinceR	good thing no bad movies ever came from the USA
[23:27]	DaemonFC	Quite a few have.
[23:27]	DaemonFC	Manos: The Hands of Fate.
[23:28]	DaemonFC	I think we've given the Canadians a run for their 70 cents on the dollar Canada money in bad movies.
[23:29]	DaemonFC	MinceR: So on my way to the foot doctor, I went into McDonald's in my suspenders, and ordered a large fries, an apple pie, and a coffee.
[23:29]	DaemonFC	I couldn't help myself.
[23:29]	DaemonFC	Like Tom Anderson in Beavis & Butt-Head.
[23:30]	DaemonFC	It was even a Thursday.
[23:31]	DaemonFC	At least this apartment doesn't have the shittiest electrical wiring I've ever had to deal with.
[23:31]	DaemonFC	That would be the place where if you turned on the computer, TV, and went to cook something at the same time you had to ask the people cooking meth in the basement to flip the switch.
[23:31]	MinceR	lol
[23:32]	DaemonFC	MinceR: Then there were these two guys that had high school girls over and were giving them drugs and booze and having sex with them.
[23:33]	DaemonFC	They were blasting the stereo and it went through the wall, by which I mean the plywood the landlord nailed up to separate two rooms and turn a doorway into a small closet.
[23:34]	DaemonFC	So I called the police and made a noise complaint and they went and knocked and smelled weed and went in there and arrested them and then there was silence.
[23:34]	DaemonFC	I heard one of the cops tell the girls to call their parents.
[23:35]	DaemonFC	Then at another apartment building, there was a woman who was having sex with a sex offender. You know, one of those people who offends other people with the sex he has.
[23:35]	DaemonFC	So I saw failure to register, contact the sheriff.
[23:35]	DaemonFC	So I did and they came and got him.
[23:51]	DaemonFC	MinceR: They've managed to create something even more horrible than cable was.
[23:51]	DaemonFC	And then you also have to pay to have an Internet connection to get it.
[23:51]	DaemonFC	I'm seriously impressed.
[23:51]	DaemonFC	The cable carriers always went and argued with them about price hikes.
[23:52]	DaemonFC	With streaming they can just charge whatever they want.
[23:52]	MinceR	and they can give you the lowest quality dogshit stream they feel like
[23:52]	DaemonFC	Nobody says don't raise the price or everyone in our service area loses that channel.
[23:52]	MinceR	even if they charged you extra for 4k
[23:58]	DaemonFC	There's a pretty huge difference between Netflix 4K and UHD Blu Ray 4K.
[23:58]	DaemonFC	Netflix compresses the hell out of it to say it's in 4K, but it doesn't look very good.
[23:58]	DaemonFC	You can have a 4K stream that's heavily compressed and doesn't look good.
[23:58]	DaemonFC	It is 4K.
[23:59]	MinceR	afaik the stream Louis Rossmann got was 720p, not 4k
[23:59]	MinceR	the open web had to die so that netfucks could do this
