[01:38] DaemonFC It's unlikely the Illinois FOID Act could survive this standard, much less the AWB, because it doesn't have the sort of historical precedent.

[01:47] schestowitz[TR] i c [01:47] DaemonFC The H1-B people who lost their jobs could wait 45 days, file an asylum petititon that will take them 2-3 years to get around to, and while they continue not racking up unlawful presence, who knows. Maybe they'll get married and file an I-130 and I-485. [01:48] DaemonFC It would raise questions at the interview but it would be difficult to factually connect them together. [01:48] DaemonFC Or they could become an international student as long as they can afford to pay tuition at a university somewhere. [01:49] DaemonFC They're not unlawfully present unless that ends and they don't leave. [01:49] DaemonFC They can't work like that though unless it's something that's specifically allowed. [01:50] DaemonFC Racking up unlawful presence doesn't stop you from trying to adjust your status later, but it's one of the things that they really don't like to see. [01:51] DaemonFC Basically if you file an I-130 and I-485, you get your receipt notice on an I-797C Notice of Action, and then you don't need an underlying visa until they make their decision. [01:51] DaemonFC They should send an EAD because you'd apply for one with I-765 at the same time as the other two forms. [01:52] DaemonFC Then you can work as long as you keep renewing the EAD until they make their decision on the Green Card. [01:52] DaemonFC For the I-485 you need to show that your household makes enough money that you probably won't become a burden on the government in line with the Public Charge Rule. [01:53] DaemonFC But Biden reverted that to the 1999 INS Field Guidance, through revoking Trump's New Public Charge Rule. [01:53] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], What I did was file a couple weeks before the law changed so it didn't apply to us. [01:54] DaemonFC Then I calculated our household income to meet one of the prongs of the test. [01:54] DaemonFC They accepted that and issued the Green Card. [01:54] DaemonFC Then we ended up speaking to the guy there 6 days after Trump was gone. Biden had suspended the new rule 5 days prior anyway. [01:55] DaemonFC I think it was October 15th, 2020.

[03:04] IPFS New daily bulletin is now being generated and assembled. [03:15] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], I've decided to read IRS regulations and how they work just because I'm bored. [03:15] DaemonFC A lot of this actually makes quite a lot of sense. [03:17] DaemonFC El Famous Burrito is a big IRS audit red flag. [03:18] DaemonFC They're a cash-only business. [03:18] DaemonFC I wonder if the IRS has audited them for "large number of cash transactions". They have a lot of customers go in there and spend cash on burritos and stuff because "no cards". [03:19] DaemonFC I guess this is another way the government is pushing people to go cashless. [03:19] DaemonFC A Revenue Agent can go over transactions on cards and with cash, who knows what's going on in there. [03:20] IPFS () Planet Gemini updated. Latest complete date at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/planet/othercapsules/2023-01-20.gmi and so far today at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/planet/othercapsules/2023-01-21.gmi with 3-day aggregate at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/planet/othercapsules/allinone.gmi [03:21] DaemonFC "In addition, those who deposit lesser amounts to try and avoid the CTR (which is called structuring and is illegal) or who otherwise participate in a suspect activity risk having a suspicious activity report (SFR) filed against them." [03:21] DaemonFC Yeah, this one is thanks to the US Attorney in Massachusetts going after Mayor White in Boston in the 1980s, actually. [03:21] DaemonFC I read about this. [03:22] DaemonFC They couldn't prove he was corrupt, so they tried turning a bunch of low level city officials who were corrupt on him. [03:22] DaemonFC The whole case fell apart, but along the way, they caught their own witness structuring cash transactions to avoid the bank filing a CTR. [03:23] DaemonFC His attorney had told him that the Bank Secrecy Act only required the bank to do that and that customers are under no obligation to help the bank report them to the government. [03:23] DaemonFC The trial judge disagreed and allowed it to go forward. [03:26] DaemonFC I don't think that my mom understands when she requests an extension on her taxes, she's also giving the IRS more time to audit that return. [03:26] DaemonFC They have 3 years usually, and it begins either when the return is filed or when it was due, whichever is later. [03:27] DaemonFC So filing a timely return is the best way to have that window close sooner. [03:27] DaemonFC Because asking for an extension to October, they'll give you one, sure. [03:27] DaemonFC But there are problems with that. Including having to pay interest at the statutory rate on anything you end up paying them. [03:28] DaemonFC Asking for an extension is only okay if you're absolutely sure that you are 100% accurate -and- you're due a refund or won't owe them very much. [03:29] DaemonFC There's these "tax relief" firms on the radio in Chicago. [03:30] DaemonFC And it's _always_ a Black person on the ad. [03:30] DaemonFC As the person who owes a lot to the IRS. [03:30] DaemonFC They're not well spoken, and they use a lot of slang and you know who they're targeting I guess is what I mean. [03:31] DaemonFC About the only thing those outfits do is file "Fresh Start Program" applications for you, which you can do yourself for no fee, with about the same odds and same result. [03:31] DaemonFC Congress created this program because it's means-tested. [03:31] DaemonFC They don't want to crush poor and lower middle class people with tax debt that they can obviously never pay, and encumber things that they need to live. [03:31] DaemonFC And there's a good reason. [03:32] DaemonFC If they screw you up and make you homeless, you cause more problems for the government and stop paying taxes because you couldn't get to work.

[05:34] schestowitz[TR] in the old ones you might have to press buttons 60+ times to go one min backwards [05:34] schestowitz[TR] or press a button down [05:34] DaemonFC Most people with cheap Casio watches without it note that they only seem to run another second off about every month.

[05:35] schestowitz[TR] but so what? [05:35] DaemonFC They put it in there just to add it to a list of things the watch does. [05:35] schestowitz[TR] if it takes you 3 hours to find and lean the watch [05:35] DaemonFC Totally maintenance-free. [05:35] schestowitz[TR] then what's a 10-second per week? [05:36] schestowitz[TR] 520 seconds a year [05:36] schestowitz[TR] 9 minutes [05:36] schestowitz[TR] 1 years, 1.5 hours [05:36] schestowitz[TR] *10 [05:36] DaemonFC If it's only off by 10 seconds or so per year, then.... [05:36] DaemonFC I mean, even a cheap Casio will do fine. [05:36] schestowitz[TR] yeah [05:37] DaemonFC It's an ana-digital watch.

[05:39] schestowitz[TR] if it's apple, it calls the police [05:39] schestowitz[TR] or ambulance [05:39] DaemonFC So it's safe to say that this is an extremely accurate watch.

[18:25] MinceR pointy-haired boss [18:25] CrystalMath ah [18:25] CrystalMath see, i don't think Scott Adams is a fascist [18:25] MinceR maybe you would if you read his blog [18:27] CrystalMath https://www.scottadamssays.com/ this? [18:27] TR Bot Home - Scott Adams Says [18:27] MinceR if it's the same as blog.dilbert.com, then yes [18:27] MinceR otherwise i don't know [18:28] CrystalMath that redirects to this [18:28] CrystalMath it's all in video format [18:28] MinceR ic [18:28] CrystalMath but i mean, being antivax is not fascist [18:29] MinceR i stopped following when former president Cheeto Hitler got elected and Scott's blog became seriously boring and stupid [18:29] CrystalMath nothing about being antivax says that you believe individuals should serve society and the greater good (which is what fascism means) [18:29] CrystalMath in fact, it's the opposite... it says individuals should live for themselves and do what they want, it's libertarian [18:30] MinceR sadly, that is not what fascism means [18:30] CrystalMath okay sorry it's not videos, it's audio on the blog [18:31] MinceR though it would be quite amusing if fascists took a page from communists/socialists/whatever it's called today's book and started fucking with definitions too [18:31] CrystalMath fascism comes from the word "fascis" meaning a bundle, in simple terms it is exactly as i described [18:31] immibis CrystalMath: there is this weird correlation between fascist tendencies and antivax in recent years. [18:32] immibis people will have N different attributes of fascism and also be antivax [18:32] MinceR it's happening! [18:32] CrystalMath "Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation and race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy." -- Wikipedia [18:32] immibis "fascism" comes from the symbol Mussolini used for it, IIRC. It doesn't really mean anything. [18:33] CrystalMath "subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation and race" [18:33] MinceR did the rest of that paragraph not reach your retina? [18:33] CrystalMath it is all in alignment [18:33] CrystalMath no part of the paragraph contradicts any other part of it [18:34] CrystalMath everything single element of fascism is about suppressing the individual in favor of society [18:35] MinceR no, it's about suppressing the individual in favor of a dictatorial leader [18:35] MinceR of course fascists and stalinist both love to pretend that the leader doesn't exist and so they're all so equal [18:35] CrystalMath the purpose of the dictatorial leader, to fascists, to bring the betterment of society... [18:35] MinceR well, they've failed [18:35] immibis many fascists believe that what the dictatorial leader says is freedom and everything else is some kind of degeneracy that should not be permitted, but whose restriction is not restrcting freedom [18:35] MinceR every single one of them [18:36] MinceR they've failed hard [18:36] immibis thus they can simultaneously be oppressed by totalitarian rule while believing they are completely free [18:36] CrystalMath MinceR: lots of non-fascists also believe in a dictatorial leader, including Marxist-Leninists [18:36] immibis they also tend to play with words and lie about their positions; they might know it's not free, but call it free anyway [18:36] MinceR but apparently humanity's thing is to keep trying the worst things over and over again, expecting them to bring the best results [18:36] MinceR and finally being destroyed by them [18:36] MinceR CrystalMath: yeah, there isn't much difference between fascism and stalinism [18:36] MinceR some of the symbols are different [18:36] CrystalMath MinceR: how do you justify your silly belief that being antivax is fascist? [18:37] CrystalMath "i decide what to put in my body" is the most libertarian thing you can say [18:37] MinceR being antivax seems to be part of ruscist canon at this point [18:37] CrystalMath and it's very *basic* as far as rights go [18:37] MinceR but i didn't really claim that it was [18:37] CrystalMath russia had mandatory Sputnik-V [18:37] immibis CrystalMath: did you know Steven Crowder turned down a 50 million dollar video production deal because he thinks he can do better than that? Where does this money come from? [18:38] immibis no western country had mandatory vaccines; they did have consequences for not taking vaccines; just like you aren't forced to wear pants but you can be arrested for public indecency [18:39] immibis except even less strict than that because nobody was arrested for public unvaccination [18:39] CrystalMath immibis: right, russia also had it like that, nowhere was it literally pushed into you, but there were consequences; i consider it basically the same [18:39] CrystalMath people lost jobs, etc... [18:39] immibis western countries are fascist because they make you wear pants [18:39] CrystalMath it's not fair and it's wrong [18:39] immibis I lost my job because I refused to cover my beautiful penis with sinful fabric. Fascism? [18:40] CrystalMath idk, here you can wear skirts instead as long as they are long enough [18:40] immibis that's still clothing [18:40] CrystalMath i think germany now allows public nudity [18:40] immibis but you can lose your job for it [18:41] immibis is that fascism? [18:41] CrystalMath and, yeah, no matter if that is your thing or not, that is more libertarian than not allowing it [18:41] CrystalMath no, i wouldn't say so [18:41] immibis why not? [18:41] CrystalMath but why was the topic diverted so much? my point was that russia was no better than the rest about vaccines [18:42] immibis is russia relevant? [18:42] CrystalMath <@MinceR> being antivax seems to be part of ruscist canon at this point [18:42] CrystalMath this silly claim [18:42] MinceR yeah, it's almost as silly as how often i hear antivax propaganda from ruscists on IRC [18:42] CrystalMath nothing about being antivax says anything about russia, except that people who are antivax in the WEST tend to be pro-russian because they distrust their government and go far the other way [18:42] MinceR and hardly any from anyone else [18:42] MinceR it's definitely just a coincidence [18:42] CrystalMath i know antivax people from russia and they are pro-ukrainian and moved out [18:43] MinceR i don't know those people [18:43] CrystalMath because they distrust *their* government [18:43] immibis it might be something to do with their propaganda sources [18:43] CrystalMath that's all that happens - if you're antivax you distrust your own authorities [18:43] MinceR but it's funny how according to russian propaganda, vaccines are good for you if you're in russia and bad for you if you're anywhere else [18:43] immibis the media personalities like steven crowder tell them ukraine is full of nazis, russia is being attacked by NATO, the election was stolen, AND vaccines kill you [18:44] MinceR immibis: apparently one of those things must be treated separately for no adequately explained reason [18:44] immibis MinceR: yes, RT often posts contradictory stories in Russian and in English. The difference: The Russian one is what they want Russian people to do; the English one is what they want everyone else to do [18:44] CrystalMath and of course, those who think a step further, distrust *all* authorities [18:44] MinceR what do they tell people in ukraine? [18:44] MinceR they can't seem to decide whether it's russia or not [18:44] immibis They will publish in Russian saying vaccines are good (because they want their population to be strong and healthy) and in English saying they are bad (because they want other populations to be weak and unhealthy) [18:45] MinceR s/to/to be able to/ [18:45] CrystalMath immibis: my mom exclusively watches russian news made for russians, in russian, and she is very antivax [18:45] immibis This week we have what you'd think would be the ultimate deciding factor for COVID deniers: WEF members test themselves and disable their vaccine passports if they test positive. They wear masks, and they leave the windows open even when the weather is cold. [18:45] CrystalMath more hardline than me [18:45] CrystalMath she likes russia but would not trust it enough to take Sputnik-V [18:45] MinceR curious [18:45] XRevan86 Isn't fascism an ideology of society built for perpetual war?

[20:44] DaemonFC I told her depending on whether the attacker lives, the man who shot him faces between 68 years in prison to life + 68 years, depending on the prosecutor.

[20:48] DaemonFC FOID - All weapons have to be disassembled, unloaded, and in an approved container while on public transit. [20:48] DaemonFC AGG UUW - Using a firearm while committing a Felony. [20:48] DaemonFC Reckless Discharge / Drive-By Shooting - Happened on train (motor vehicle), other passengers endangered. [20:48] DaemonFC Felony Disorderly Conduct - Firearm Discharge panicked other riders. [20:48] DaemonFC Conspiracy Homicide - Anyone who dies while you commit a felony is a homicide crime. [20:52] DaemonFC Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz [20:52] DaemonFC @DaemonFC@mstdn.social [20:52] DaemonFC What should this man have done on the train? [20:52] DaemonFC For starters, if he was going to violate FOID by taking an unlawfully loaded handgun outside of a container and on his person onboard the train, he should have handed over whatever the attacker wanted and not called the police when it was done. [20:52] DaemonFC When you call the police, you're in as much danger as the person you called them about.

Pritzker of Illinois has awakened a sleeping giant and filled it with a terrible resolve. [21:07] DaemonFC Nobody is going to tolerate this anymore, and while the FOID Act and other "settled" law goes into the wood chipper at the Supreme Court, he needs to ask himself was it really worth passing a 400 page omnibus gun bill all at once vs. splitting it up into parts that most people don't disagree with. [21:07] DaemonFC A law that was modeled on the expired Federal Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 might have worked. [21:07] DaemonFC Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz [21:07] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [21:07] DaemonFC The Illinois Assault Weapons Ban should have focused exclusively on the commerce side and exempted people from enforcement. [21:07] DaemonFC This would have denied 99% of the Plaintiffs their standing to sue. [21:07] DaemonFC The Democrats are striking out badly because they pass these sloppy middle-of-the-night bills that are several hundred pages, without reading them. [21:07] DaemonFC So much for the brightest legal minds. [21:07] MinceR the Federal Assault Weapons Ban was already laughable [21:08] DaemonFC Yes, but the way it was structured was to survive judicial review. I meant they should have structured it like that. [21:08] MinceR banning guns on the basis of how much they scare sociopaths who know nothing about guns. great idea! [21:08] DaemonFC Because you can survive judicial review or you can have nothing at all.

[21:16] DaemonFC COVID is a horrible scourge and there is no way to minimize it, however the lockdowns led to more young people dying than COVID itself. [21:16] DaemonFC Only about 10% of the excess deaths in this age group were COVID. [21:16] DaemonFC The other 90% were caused by government action. [21:16] DaemonFC Unlimited power in the hands of limited people always leads to cruelty. [21:16] DaemonFC Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago [21:16] DaemonFC Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz [21:16] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [21:16] DaemonFC The part of the article on excess deaths under COVID that I found most troubling was the sudden spike in "accidents and suicide", which are killing an additional ~2,200 15-34 year olds in America per year now. [21:16] DaemonFC When a country drives nearly 60,000 of its youngest Citizens to suicide every year, it is a failed country. [21:16] DaemonFC It doesn't really want to solve it or it would do more than blaming guns, putting up $2 signs at the train platforms, and and giving us two 3 digit numbers that result in cops.

[21:25] DaemonFC Most of them just have so much of it coming in that they can waste 90% of it and still be fine because they're patiently waiting by the mailbox for my paycheck (and hundreds of others, from people who work).
