Nobody from the Medicaid office named Ms. Strong making decisions about my life or death. [01:19] IsambardPrince I remember Ms. Strong because it made me giggle and say "Like Susan Strong from Adventure Time?" [01:20] IsambardPrince Ms. Strong was there in her Naruto pajamas processing cases for Medicaid, food stamps, and cash assistance, for people with $200 hairdos and $300 fingernails, pecking away on $1,200 iPhones. [01:20] IsambardPrince And I just wanted to know if I can has Medicaid pls. [01:20] IsambardPrince :D [01:22] IsambardPrince I finally won the Medicaid case on appeal, when someone from their main office had to go down there and scream at Ms. Strong 6 months into this. [01:22] IsambardPrince But they recently took it away, so there's more money in health insurance premiums. [01:23] IsambardPrince I'll never prove it but I was the only white guy in that office asking for assistance. [01:23] IsambardPrince The fact that Ms. Strong waited 6 months and then processed it that day but only after someone higher up yelled at her... [01:24] IsambardPrince It implies that Ms. Strong was capable of processing it immediately but she wanted to torment me for being white. [01:24] IsambardPrince They so rarely get the chance, they take it whenever they can. [01:24] IsambardPrince It's also what happens to you when you get a black TSA officer or a black probation officer or a black cop. [01:25] IsambardPrince They do so enjoy their petty torments. [01:26] IsambardPrince I thought it was hilarious when I just stood up to that stupid probation officer years ago. Screaming at me for bankrupting John's car. [01:26] IsambardPrince She said "This looks like revenge." [01:26] IsambardPrince I said, "Well, I'd never SAY that." [01:29] IsambardPrince I think I also interrupted her and said "Is this a probation issue?" just flatly. And she said, "No, but it doesn't look good." I said, "Oh okay, is there anything else I can help you with?" [01:31] *darwin has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [01:32] *darwin (~darwin@ezriia7nzimpg.irc) has joined #techrights [01:33] IsambardPrince MinceR, At the first meeting, she asked me "How do you feel about me?" [01:34] IsambardPrince So I responded with a line from Captain Kirk in Star Trek to the Klingon commander of an occupation on one of the planets in the show. [01:34] IsambardPrince "You're here. There's nothing I can do about it." (flatly) [01:34] IsambardPrince She said, "That's a very healthy attitude." [01:34] IsambardPrince (The Klingon said something like, "Good! Honest hatred." [01:36] IsambardPrince The joke went completely over her head of course. [01:36] IsambardPrince Kirk was not in a position to do anything at the moment, but he planned to subvert the Klingons. [01:40] IsambardPrince She said I couldn't leave the state. I said, "Well, actually I'll be out of the state next week." [01:40] IsambardPrince She said, "You can't leave unless I give you permission." [01:40] IsambardPrince I said, "Read the agreement." [01:40] IsambardPrince She paused, "It's on page 6." I said. [01:41] IsambardPrince "It says you can leave the state. I have never seen them do that before, but that's what it says." [01:41] IsambardPrince :) [01:42] IsambardPrince I could have told her that to begin with but I wanted to get her going so that I could psychologically overpower her later. [01:43] MinceR :) [01:44] IsambardPrince The rest of it turned into a box ticking exercise where I just did the bare minimum so they'd let me go. [01:44] IsambardPrince It was all rather stupid. [01:46] IsambardPrince MinceR, That's how cops work, you know, they try to push you into an emotional outburst and then they get the upperhand. [01:46] IsambardPrince You must never, ever, show any emotion in front of a police officer. [01:47] IsambardPrince It's a power struggle. ● May 20 [02:14] *darwin has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [02:15] IsambardPrince MinceR, I suspect Ian Murdock didn't know that. [02:15] IsambardPrince He was on Twitter rambling about how much money he made the previous year, like Cave Johnson. [02:15] IsambardPrince "Don't you people know who I am!?" [02:15] IsambardPrince The police are like quicksand. [02:16] MinceR a lot less common in real life than in movies? [02:16] IsambardPrince You try not to walk on any, but if you ever find yourself on some, panicking and desperately struggling to get out just makes you sink faster. [02:16] IsambardPrince Yeah, but in this metaphor. [02:16] IsambardPrince You have to stay calm, don't move, and try to find a vine or tree or something, and slowly pull yourself back up. [02:17] IsambardPrince https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/95/Quicksandwarning.JPG [02:17] IsambardPrince It doesn't look very quick. [02:18] IsambardPrince It looks tranquil.
