| IsambardPrince | I was playing that a lot when Trump was golfing and the news was reporting on COVID. | Feb 21 01:31 |
| IsambardPrince | I have a weird sense of humor. | Feb 21 01:31 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I'm just throwing it out there. | Feb 21 01:33 |
| IsambardPrince | I have the same initials as the antichrist in Stephen King's novels. | Feb 21 01:33 |
| IsambardPrince | He never really dies, he just comes back and tries to end the world and kill everyone. | Feb 21 01:34 |
| IsambardPrince | Sometimes centuries go by. | Feb 21 01:34 |
| IsambardPrince | Sometimes he tries to invade from another dimension, you know. | Feb 21 01:34 |
| MinceR | :) | Feb 21 01:35 |
| MinceR | well, better get going then, the world needs a cleansing | Feb 21 01:35 |

| IsambardPrince | Yeah, he kills everyone except the ones who will serve him. | Feb 21 01:39 |
| IsambardPrince | But it doesn't ever really end well. | Feb 21 01:39 |
| IsambardPrince | You know, god reaches down and makes the nuke explode. | Feb 21 01:39 |

| IsambardPrince | The pastor of our church had a copy of that movie I noticed, when I was a child. | Feb 21 01:40 |
| IsambardPrince | It does fit God's narrative you know. | Feb 21 01:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Devil kills everyone with the flu. God and the devil save a bunch of people each, to serve them. | Feb 21 01:40 |

| IsambardPrince | The one with Michael York. | Feb 21 01:42 |
| IsambardPrince | The forces of Satan / Globalism led by the European Union somehow were winning. | Feb 21 01:42 |
| IsambardPrince | Then God darkens the sky and throws the devil (Michael York) in chains. | Feb 21 01:42 |
| IsambardPrince | And forces him to shout "Nazarene! You are Lord!" | Feb 21 01:43 |
| IsambardPrince | Very anti-climactic. | Feb 21 01:43 |
| IsambardPrince | I blame the source material. | Feb 21 01:43 |

| IsambardPrince | The field officer didn't go to stokes but he had some questions for us in the green card interview. | Feb 21 01:48 |

| IsambardPrince | He said, "Give me an example." | Feb 21 01:48 |
| IsambardPrince | I said, "Okay, well the neighbor put up some bee traps to catch hornets and we came out and saw them all hanging from the sticky strips and he started singing "Poor Unfortunate Soul" from The Little Mermaid, and I may have joined him."" | Feb 21 01:48 |

| IsambardPrince | Facebook gathered the HIV status of people and probably a lot else from spying on their Grindr account. | Feb 21 04:38 |
| IsambardPrince | Facebook has spyware libraries embedded into Grindr. | Feb 21 04:38 |
| IsambardPrince | It tells Facebook who you're fucking, what your listed HIV status is, if you take PrEP drugs, everything. | Feb 21 04:38 |
| IsambardPrince | Facebook his this all under a special "off facebook activity" page where they said they would delete it, but only if you found the page and asked them to. | Feb 21 04:39 |
| IsambardPrince | They made finding that page very very hard. | Feb 21 04:39 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | what do you make of this firm ambulance chasing? | Feb 21 04:39 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | form profit? | Feb 21 04:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Grindr is one of the third party apps that will show up. | Feb 21 04:39 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | *for | Feb 21 04:40 |
| IsambardPrince | It's certainly not unheard of I guess. | Feb 21 04:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Facebook doesn't only track people with a Facebook account. | Feb 21 04:41 |
| techrights-news | technologyreview is promoting Microsoft lies and vapourware again | Feb 21 04:41 |
| IsambardPrince | But having a Facebook account definitely makes it worse for you and easier for them. | Feb 21 04:41 |
| IsambardPrince | They testified to Congress I believe, years ago, about their efforts to compile data about non-users. | Feb 21 04:41 |
| IsambardPrince | To fingerprint them and try to find out who they are anyway, even if there's no Facebook account. | Feb 21 04:42 |
| IsambardPrince | That information is valuable, not just to advertisers. But to nation states. To the government when it doesn't have enough on you to try to find out legitimately, it'll buy data from Facebook and comb through it and see if it's interesting. | Feb 21 04:42 |
| IsambardPrince | Facebook has had to pay me a lot of money. | Feb 21 04:43 |
| IsambardPrince | They violate almost every law and you know, it's lucrative because nobody is willing to punish them enough. | Feb 21 04:43 |
| IsambardPrince | When the Illinois BIPA one happened though, Facebook lobbied. They set up a lobbying group to try to get it repealed. | Feb 21 04:44 |
| IsambardPrince | It cost them enough money to hurt and to be worth fighting. They didn't get it repealed but they managed to stall progress on getting other states to pass it. | Feb 21 04:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | right, makes sense | Feb 21 04:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | at least we're also on topic now ;-) | Feb 21 04:44 |
| IsambardPrince | At one point like 11 other states were trying to pass our law, and I think Facebook managed to corrupt all of them into sidelining it. | Feb 21 04:44 |
| IsambardPrince | It wasn't a partisan thing either. | Feb 21 04:45 |
| IsambardPrince | I think like 6 were blue states and 5 were red states. | Feb 21 04:45 |
| IsambardPrince | Even Kentucky. | Feb 21 04:45 |

| IsambardPrince | Facebook shouldn't even be legal. | Feb 21 04:46 |
| IsambardPrince | There should be a law that makes most of what they do illegal. | Feb 21 04:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i think william binney said | Feb 21 04:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | bill binney | Feb 21 04:47 |
| IsambardPrince | Except generic advertising maybe, no tracking. | Feb 21 04:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | that if FB did not exist | Feb 21 04:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | then NSA or similar would make one | Feb 21 04:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | something to that effect | Feb 21 04:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | finding a URL for this now might be hard | Feb 21 04:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | bill lost his ability to walk | Feb 21 04:47 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah, Zuckerberg burns through so much money. | Feb 21 04:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but he was very high up in NSA | Feb 21 04:47 |
| IsambardPrince | How the hell do we even know where all of that came from? | Feb 21 04:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so you cannot just ignore what he said | Feb 21 04:47 |
| IsambardPrince | He's too useful to the governments (not just ours) to let fail. | Feb 21 04:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | he spoke a lot about Stellar Wind (programme) | Feb 21 04:48 |
| IsambardPrince | So he plays with that, wastes billions even just to amuse himself. | Feb 21 04:48 |
| IsambardPrince | They don't care. They don't care. It's tax money. | Feb 21 04:48 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | iirc, it 's about the US using what i t developed to combat Soviets/Russia... against US citizens | Feb 21 04:48 |
| IsambardPrince | The only way they become incensed at spending tax money if they turn around and give you a benefit. | Feb 21 04:48 |
| IsambardPrince | But when it's spying or threatening, there is no budget cap. | Feb 21 04:48 |
| IsambardPrince | *is if | Feb 21 04:48 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], If they have to spend money on your healthcare, or educating your child, or food stamps....they hate it. | Feb 21 04:49 |
| IsambardPrince | That's always where they want to cut. | Feb 21 04:49 |
| IsambardPrince | It's never the military, it's never the cops, it's never the spy agencies. | Feb 21 04:49 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | social control | Feb 21 04:49 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it replaced social security | Feb 21 04:49 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | let's put it like this: | Feb 21 04:49 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | social security: make people happy enough | Feb 21 04:50 |
| IsambardPrince | Social Security is part of social control. | Feb 21 04:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | (food subsidies, accommodation etc.) | Feb 21 04:50 |
| IsambardPrince | It's one way to do it, and it's the cheapest way. | Feb 21 04:50 |
| IsambardPrince | If people are bought off they're much less likely to rock the boat. | Feb 21 04:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | social control: treat people like enemies | Feb 21 04:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | spy and t ry to mitigate the damage their anger can inflict | Feb 21 04:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | social security is boomers | Feb 21 04:50 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | genZ is "tiktok" | Feb 21 04:50 |
| IsambardPrince | Right, their goal is to give them a platform to rage. | Feb 21 04:51 |
| IsambardPrince | Then move in on the ones that are a threat and say too much about it. | Feb 21 04:51 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | right | Feb 21 04:51 |
| IsambardPrince | You can see it happening, even at local level, where I live. | Feb 21 04:51 |
| IsambardPrince | The cops are always coming in and grabbing people and they admit "social media". | Feb 21 04:51 |

| IsambardPrince | "Reddit also has a habit of overthrowing moderators of subreddits and replacing them, as it did when some subreddits were set to "read-only" in protest of Reddit's 2023 policy change which locked out Third Party Applications. They also have a tendency to accuse subreddits of being unmoderated, and banning them so that nobody can take over, or re-create that "community". | Feb 21 05:43 |
| IsambardPrince | See; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Reddit_API_controversy | Feb 21 05:43 |
| IsambardPrince | Some of the applications that were affected were instances of "libreddit", which is a Freedom Respecting and Open Source program that allows read-only privacy respecting mirror sites to set up and show people Reddit posts, comments, and media, without having to run non-Free closed source code from reddit.com, some of which has malicious functions, such as to spy on the user or prevent the user from making copies or getting directly | Feb 21 05:43 |

| IsambardPrince | to the files. | Feb 21 05:43 |
| IsambardPrince | Another reason users would want to use libreddit, is that the Reddit website is extremely bloated, and it is hard to run on older computers. In many cases, the bloat is from the tracking and advertising content, but in other cases it's stylistic junk such as many megabytes (sometimes hundreds) of unnecessary HTML, CSS, JavaScript (which is slow to run), and autoplay videos that begin making noise, which is incredibly annoying. | Feb 21 05:43 |
| IsambardPrince | Sometimes Reddit's site is so badly engineered that the tab will fail to respond and crash." | Feb 21 05:43 |

| IsambardPrince | This doesn't just mean that Reddit wants people to uniquely identify themselves to view adult content, so Reddit can make a list of their activity, for spying, for intents and purposes unknown to the user none of which can be good, and also that Reddit has abused this to censor subreddits as "NSFW" that are not pornographic, lewd, obscene, or objectionable, to limit exposure to purely political speech. | Feb 21 05:46 |
| IsambardPrince | Reddit falsely declared that the subreddit /r/stallmanwasright is "pornographic" when there is in fact no pornography there. Which interferes with the ability of the general public to read the political and Free Software (software which respects the user's freedom, another form of political speech and opinion), of Richard Matthew Stallman, the founder of the Free Software Foundation. | Feb 21 05:46 |

| IsambardPrince | "As the Commission can see from just these examples, bans on Reddit, and especially this subreddit, can be arbitrary, doled out to people who don't even break any written rules.

| IsambardPrince | How is Reddit, a company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, allowed to do this? | Feb 21 05:58 |
| IsambardPrince | While pure speech is protected by the First Amendment, certain acts of material support for the Communist Party certainly are not. Reddit maintains legal immunity for its hosting of this activity under S. 230 of the Communications Decency Act only insofar as it is not aware it is happening, and removes it promptly upon becoming aware, however, /r/LateStageCapitalism has been operating openly and notoriously on Reddit's platform for | Feb 21 05:58 |
| IsambardPrince | almost ten years as of this writing. The creation date of the subreddit is given as Aug 28, 2015, meaning that Reddit has no doubt been aware of it for quite some time now." | Feb 21 05:58 |

| IsambardPrince | Under the accusation of material support. | Feb 21 05:59 |
| IsambardPrince | That's important because the law says that you can't support anything "substantially similar" or decended from the Communist Party. | Feb 21 06:00 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], We're staying planted for a while. | Feb 21 06:40 |
| IsambardPrince | The federal government can only file things in the district you live in. | Feb 21 06:40 |
| IsambardPrince | And almost all of the judges here are from Biden and Obama. | Feb 21 06:40 |
| IsambardPrince | So they probably won't buy it, you know the incessant stream of horseshit. | Feb 21 06:41 |
| IsambardPrince | I'm pretty sure the DC federal court won't either, but the US Attorney there is sending scary letters to people. | Feb 21 06:41 |
| IsambardPrince | Implying that bad things will happen to them because they talked about Elon Musk. | Feb 21 06:41 |
| IsambardPrince | This wasn't a hard state for Biden to appoint judges to. | Feb 21 06:42 |
| IsambardPrince | Both the Senators are Democrats. They let him appoint whoever he wanted. | Feb 21 06:42 |
| IsambardPrince | In fact, they didn't return the blue slips for Trump's so they actually kept some seats open until Biden could appoint someone. | Feb 21 06:43 |
| IsambardPrince | The mad rush to appoint federal judges on the way out was to shield people from a weaponized DoJ in those states. | Feb 21 06:43 |
| IsambardPrince | The US Attorneys all serve at the pleasure of the president though. | Feb 21 06:44 |
| IsambardPrince | So we'll probably get some dumbass going around trying to scare people. | Feb 21 06:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Like what happens in DC. | Feb 21 06:44 |

| IsambardPrince | "The kindest person in the room is often the smartest." | Feb 21 07:31 |
| IsambardPrince | There was nothing kind about my parents. | Feb 21 07:35 |
| IsambardPrince | It left a lot of trauma, being exposed to their stupidity, and their cruelty. | Feb 21 07:35 |
| IsambardPrince | They didn't break bones, but they didn't love me. They said that they'd rather I kill myself than be gay. | Feb 21 07:35 |
| IsambardPrince | So I know what he's talking about when he said cruel people are the dumbest people. | Feb 21 07:36 |
| IsambardPrince | My parents managed to find a niche and stay at it and earn money, career-wise, of course they existed in an easier time to do anything. | Feb 21 07:36 |
| IsambardPrince | Including going to college and not being immediately a bankrupt when you got out of college, before you were even employed. | Feb 21 07:37 |
| IsambardPrince | And when they bought a house, they got a $20,000 house, which is now 42 years older than it was then, and last sold for like $168,000. | Feb 21 07:37 |
| IsambardPrince | This country is running on fumes, because of hateful and selfish decisions their generation made. | Feb 21 07:38 |
| IsambardPrince | Like that they'd leave no jobs for my generation, and that they would turn everything over to Wall Street and private equity, including the apartment I have to rent. | Feb 21 07:38 |
| IsambardPrince | Now they made this dead, dried husk of a country. | Feb 21 07:40 |
| IsambardPrince | And they're sending people in to shut off the lights in the hope there's more money in there for themselves somehow. | Feb 21 07:40 |
| IsambardPrince | They don't realize that some of the lights that get shut off by Chainsaw Man are their healthcare and social security. | Feb 21 07:41 |

| IsambardPrince | Said it costs too much. | Feb 21 08:27 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, The Orbanistan of corn. | Feb 21 08:28 |
| IsambardPrince | "According to the Governor's office, medicaid payments for ABA therapy surged from $14.4 million in 2017 to $120 million in 2019 and an audit by the U.S. Office of the Inspector General revealed more than $56 million in improper payments." | Feb 21 08:31 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], Trump fired the "Sergei Shoigu" of ICE today over his failure to win the "Special Three Day Operation" to remove all the immigrants from the country. :P | Feb 21 22:20 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, ICE arrests have collapsed to levels barely over the Biden Administration despite a "whole of government effort" even bringing in IRS tax investigators. | Feb 21 22:21 |
| IsambardPrince | ICE agents have complained that Trump is working them 7 days a week, they're burning out, they're pressured to make random arrests so they have no time to investigate which would lead to mass arrests that he wants. | Feb 21 22:22 |
| IsambardPrince | They spend so much time trying to arrest each one that they get random people instead of a coordinated operation that takes a few months to plan and can get several hundred in one go. | Feb 21 22:23 |
| IsambardPrince | This has turned into Putin-style government. This is the way XRevan86 described Putin's draft board going around catching anyone they could and shoving papers in their hand. So people went into hiding to avoid the papers. | Feb 21 22:24 |

| IsambardPrince | He complained that I threw him into financial disarray and that he had to live without electricity for days during a heat wave and all the food rotted, and his rent and car payments went late, and he had to bum money for transportation to work. | Feb 21 22:31 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Literally all you have to do to avoid a felony if you own one is tell the State Police via the Firearm Services Bureau. | Feb 21 23:41 |
| IsambardPrince | They states that less than 1% have complied with this. | Feb 21 23:42 |
| ZedHedTed | MinceR: the "civilian spec vs. military spec" section pretty much confirms what you said. | Feb 21 23:42 |
| IsambardPrince | You go to the ISP FSB website, log into the FOID system, and tell them what you have and the serial number, and you're in no danger of being charged for illegal assault rifle, but these people won't comply with it. | Feb 21 23:42 |
| IsambardPrince | Instead they've gone on a two year long fight against the state to try to get the law struck down. | Feb 21 23:43 |
| IsambardPrince | If anyone breaks into your home and steals the stupid thing, you have 72 hours to report it stolen, and if you don't, that's another felony. | Feb 21 23:43 |
| IsambardPrince | So then when you report it stolen after not reporting you had it, that's a felony. | Feb 21 23:43 |
| IsambardPrince | If someone breaks in and you shoot them with it, even though the shooting may have been justifiable, you didn't say you had it, so you get a felony. | Feb 21 23:44 |
| ZedHedTed | IsambardPrince: perhaps they're against being tracked/have privacy concerns? idk why else they'd be against performing such a simple action | Feb 21 23:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Yes, they say they're worried about confiscation. | Feb 21 23:44 |
