| schestowitz | In Nice France a person didn't need even a weapon to kill like 70 | Jul 21 00:00 |
| schestowitz | just rent a lorry (truck) | Jul 21 00:00 |
| schestowitz | not even a very good one | Jul 21 00:00 |
| schestowitz | and it was the first of several | Jul 21 00:00 |
| schestowitz | inspired several more | Jul 21 00:00 |
| schestowitz | then they implement, belatedly, some emergency brakes | Jul 21 00:01 |
| schestowitz | which older models would not have anyway | Jul 21 00:01 |
| schestowitz | here in Manchester they put barricades around busy places like Town Hall | Jul 21 00:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I said, "Which is why it's where they'd hit. That's how they think.". | Jul 21 00:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | "Then the TSA is the reason there were so many people killed waiting to get their shampoo dumped out." | Jul 21 00:01 |
| schestowitz | so it's just defacing the city, based on perceived threat and solution | Jul 21 00:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're ridiculous and they waste a ton of money and hire idiots. | Jul 21 00:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The more idiots they hire at TSA the lower unemployment looks, so no trouble! | Jul 21 00:02 |
| schestowitz | when I was young air travel was faster | Jul 21 00:02 |
| schestowitz | shorter queue | Jul 21 00:02 |
| schestowitz | you could arrive later | Jul 21 00:02 |
| schestowitz | less "theatre" | Jul 21 00:02 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You get rid of TSA and 250,000 unemployable people go piling in to add to those looking for a real job. | Jul 21 00:02 |
| schestowitz | so now you leave the house earlier | Jul 21 00:02 |
| schestowitz | for more inconvenience | Jul 21 00:03 |
| schestowitz | the planes themselves hardly got faster... Concorde got axed | Jul 21 00:03 |
| schestowitz | tsa employs this many?! | Jul 21 00:03 |
| schestowitz | how many airports are in the us? | Jul 21 00:03 |
| schestowitz | like 200? | Jul 21 00:03 |
| schestowitz | how many tsa agents needed for each? | Jul 21 00:04 |
| schestowitz | surely not a thousand! | Jul 21 00:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They harass people all over the goddamned place | Jul 21 00:04 |
| schestowitz | and it's for intl' flights mostly | Jul 21 00:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They have "VIPR" teams checking public transit and Greyhound sometimes. | Jul 21 00:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Setting up checkpoints for no reason on freeways. | Jul 21 00:04 |
| schestowitz | mission creep | Jul 21 00:04 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Absolutely. | Jul 21 00:04 |
| schestowitz | Trump SS Agency | Jul 21 00:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: They have undercovers called BDOs. They got rid of them except not really. | Jul 21 00:05 |
| *schestowitz just uploaded irc logs with john's name in tact | Jul 21 00:05 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're supposed to find people who are "behaving suspiciously". | Jul 21 00:05 |
| schestowitz | pseudoscience | Jul 21 00:05 |
| schestowitz | many would be false-flagged | Jul 21 00:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: John told me everything the BDOs are looking for. | Jul 21 00:05 |
| schestowitz | false positive | Jul 21 00:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's pretty much what you'd expect. | Jul 21 00:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | People who are jittery before a flight could be pulled in and questioned. | Jul 21 00:06 |
| schestowitz | "oh, sorry, you were just sweating because you're overweight... sorry about that" | Jul 21 00:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The TSA isn't looking for drugs. | Jul 21 00:06 |
| schestowitz | another excuse to hassle and harass people | Jul 21 00:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If they happen to find some they're supposed to call the cops. | Jul 21 00:07 |
| schestowitz | terrorists in airport are like one in several billions | Jul 21 00:07 |
| schestowitz | but hey, who cares... | Jul 21 00:07 |
| schestowitz | let's harass millions of people per day | Jul 21 00:07 |
| schestowitz | and maybe catch one terrorist in one decade | Jul 21 00:07 |
| schestowitz | let's also fry people with x-rays | Jul 21 00:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You could hide some THC gummies in with regular gummy worms and stuff and if they look just say you're hypoglycemic and you need it for medical reasons. | Jul 21 00:07 |
| schestowitz | giving some of them cancers | Jul 21 00:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It would show up as an organic mass, but it looks like candy. | Jul 21 00:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You have an even better shot at pulling this off if you only do it when you get precheck. | Jul 21 00:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You'll know if you do because it's on the ticket. | Jul 21 00:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's a 5% chance you'll be told to go to the regular line though. | Jul 21 00:08 |
| schestowitz | "precheck" = the old way | Jul 21 00:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yes, a metal detector and running your bag through the x-ray. | Jul 21 00:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I got it sometimes. They do a background check on you first. | Jul 21 00:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They determined that I was low risk. | Jul 21 00:09 |
| schestowitz | "Who packed your bag?" | Jul 21 00:09 |
| schestowitz | Not funny, sir, you must be a terrorrist | Jul 21 00:09 |
| schestowitz | "are you a terrorist, sir?" | Jul 21 00:09 |
| schestowitz | No, sir | Jul 21 00:09 |
| schestowitz | oK, then.... go on.. | Jul 21 00:10 |
| schestowitz | more pseudoscience | Jul 21 00:10 |
| schestowitz | testing people with words | Jul 21 00:10 |
| schestowitz | and dealing with a million false/wrong escalations a day | Jul 21 00:10 |
| schestowitz | asking lots of followup questions (interrogation) | Jul 21 00:10 |
| schestowitz | when there was no truly good reason for it in the first place | Jul 21 00:10 |
| schestowitz | maybe you're a tactless kid | Jul 21 00:11 |
| schestowitz | who grew up with a "smart" phone, never facing people and looking them in the eyes | Jul 21 00:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Mandy got his discount card for Walmart today. | Jul 21 00:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Says 20% at the vision center. +2% from the credit card. Well, I guess I should probably get around to an eye exam. | Jul 21 00:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Maybe in a few more months. See if this COVID mess starts slowing down. | Jul 21 00:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: They sent some mail to John at my PO Box regarding payments he made on that stupid car. | Jul 21 00:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'll just hand it back to the guy at the counter when I get over there to check the mail. | Jul 21 00:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He's been using Western Union to pay the car payment lately and they're sending me receipts. I didn't get one this month because the bankruptcy got rid of that problem. | Jul 21 00:15 |
| schestowitz | sounds like mandy takes good care of the household (well, motel) | Jul 21 00:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Put all your financial problems behind the blast door and let them explode there. | Jul 21 00:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | :/ | Jul 21 00:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Getting rid of all of that debt makes the situation much more stable. | Jul 21 00:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Now I can plan for the future without watching my back for when the lawsuits start. | Jul 21 00:16 |
| schestowitz | get a stimulus | Jul 21 00:16 |

| schestowitz | land of opportunity | Jul 21 00:17 |
| schestowitz | to screw the taxpayers | Jul 21 00:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: There might be another stimulus check for us. | Jul 21 00:17 |
| schestowitz | for shareholder who made a bad investment | Jul 21 00:17 |
| schestowitz | in a dying industry | Jul 21 00:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I suppose we'll probably hoard that one too or catch up with whatever current bills there are. | Jul 21 00:17 |
| schestowitz | their insurance policy is bribes for Trump and taxpayers being screwed by trump | Jul 21 00:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's not going to stimulate anything because it'll just sit there. | Jul 21 00:18 |
| schestowitz | another 5 trillion in ntl' debt | Jul 21 00:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Why would you spend money that you might need later? Of course by not making this a regular payment for the duration, people are seeing it as something to sit on while they wait and see. | Jul 21 00:18 |
| schestowitz | These "stimulus" things as BS | Jul 21 00:18 |
| schestowitz | they're borrowings | Jul 21 00:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's how recessions get worse. | Jul 21 00:18 |
| schestowitz | you borrow from the taxpayer i.e. you | Jul 21 00:19 |
| schestowitz | you kick the debt can further down the road | Jul 21 00:19 |
| schestowitz | and if you don't pay, offsprings will | Jul 21 00:19 |
| schestowitz | or there will be a big war to offset all that | Jul 21 00:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The only thing about Trump that's been pretty okay so far is that he doesn't seem to be in the mood for war. | Jul 21 00:19 |
| schestowitz | Trump gives you permission to borrow from your future | Jul 21 00:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Which is, of course, why he must go, to the neocons like Bolton. | Jul 21 00:20 |
| schestowitz | what a deal! | Jul 21 00:20 |
| schestowitz | "letssssa make a deal!" | Jul 21 00:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Of course, by pulling back there may actually be a war because of that, and we'll be more likely to lose it. | Jul 21 00:20 |
| schestowitz | Trump does war | Jul 21 00:20 |
| schestowitz | this is BS | Jul 21 00:20 |
| schestowitz | he bombs more than anyone | Jul 21 00:20 |
| schestowitz | the media doesn't talk about it | Jul 21 00:20 |
| schestowitz | he also uses alternative means of war | Jul 21 00:21 |
| schestowitz | like sanctions that kil; | Jul 21 00:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He's pulling so many people out of South Korea that North Korea might view it as their best opportunity for an invasion in decades. | Jul 21 00:21 |
| schestowitz | cuba, iran, china, venezuela | Jul 21 00:21 |
| schestowitz | don't relay maga lies about trump being antiwar | Jul 21 00:21 |
| schestowitz | it's bsd | Jul 21 00:21 |

| DaemonFC[m] | North Korea's best bet is to just let Trump keep screwing our allies and then come pouring over the 38th as soon as we're gone. | Jul 21 00:21 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Say what you want about Asians, they seem to be good at holding a grudge. | Jul 21 00:22 |
| schestowitz | which asians? | Jul 21 00:23 |
| schestowitz | asians are half of the world's population | Jul 21 00:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Chinese/Taiwan thing. The North and South Korea thing. | Jul 21 00:23 |
| schestowitz | that's like saying, women are all catty | Jul 21 00:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Both sides keep claiming the other side's territory and vowing to take it back eventually. | Jul 21 00:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They just haven't gotten around to it, but they will! | Jul 21 00:24 |
| schestowitz | that's no different them some western conflicts | Jul 21 00:24 |
| schestowitz | like east Ukraine | Jul 21 00:24 |
| schestowitz | or Hawaii | Jul 21 00:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | China would invade Taiwan if they didn't think they'd take heavy losses and risk starting a world war, so for now no invasion. | Jul 21 00:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Trump is making one much more likely though. | Jul 21 00:25 |
| schestowitz | they don't need to invade | Jul 21 00:26 |
| schestowitz | they slowly brainwash | Jul 21 00:26 |
| schestowitz | and use cultural war | Jul 21 00:26 |
| schestowitz | like they do in HK | Jul 21 00:26 |
| schestowitz | in many ways Beijing already controls them | Jul 21 00:26 |
| schestowitz | financially also | Jul 21 00:26 |
| schestowitz | they're sort of partly independent | Jul 21 00:26 |
| schestowitz | in their minds | Jul 21 00:26 |
| schestowitz | like some British "territories" | Jul 21 00:27 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yes, many of their corporations are so integrated that it seems to function as a single economy almost, in many ways. | Jul 21 00:27 |
| schestowitz | Taiwan does manufacturing in the mainland, sometimes Taipei | Jul 21 00:27 |
| schestowitz | in Taipei and New Taipei the pay is higher | Jul 21 00:28 |
| schestowitz | so they import workers which they treat like dirt | Jul 21 00:28 |
| schestowitz | then toss them out when done | Jul 21 00:28 |
| schestowitz | when the chemicals did their damage (to workers) | Jul 21 00:28 |
| schestowitz | Japan became the same | Jul 21 00:28 |
| schestowitz | Japan is scary | Jul 21 00:28 |
| schestowitz | people overworked | Jul 21 00:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's billions of people in the world. I worry about Mandy in particular for the same general reason I worry about my cats more than a stray. We ignore horrible things happening to people in bulk because we "didn't know them". It's not personal. | Jul 21 00:29 |
| schestowitz | and the country has in debt 2.5 times what the whole country/economy is worth | Jul 21 00:29 |
| schestowitz | so there's no capacity for more productivity | Jul 21 00:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's too much of a problem for us to solve no matter how much we would worry about it. | Jul 21 00:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So we go numb to it. | Jul 21 00:29 |

| schestowitz | no oil, no help | Jul 21 00:30 |

| schestowitz | "Good luck with aaaaaallll thhhhaat" | Jul 21 00:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Vampire Squid problem. You're talking about that. | Jul 21 00:30 |
| schestowitz | "The government responded to attacks by carrying out a campaign of ethnic cleansing against Darfur's non-Arabs. This resulted in the death of hundreds of thousands of civilians and the indictment of Sudan's president, Omar al-Bashir, for genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court" | Jul 21 00:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Say thee "exifcleaner" thing. Yes, I scrub metadata out of JPEGs that I save. | Jul 21 00:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's basically useless and it takes up space and adds to the uniqueness of the file. | Jul 21 00:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Allegedly, Microsoft's PhotoDNA "solves" for the hashing problem where slight changes to the photo change the hash of the photo. | Jul 21 00:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Since there's no way for the public to get a copy and figure out exactly what that means..... | Jul 21 00:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I don't know why anyone would be stupid enough to create evidence of themselves committing a crime in the way that the detective described. | Jul 21 00:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If the person is in a photo or video in any way, it's not difficult to prove it was them. | Jul 21 00:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: RMS mentions that smartphones can be turned into bugs. | Jul 21 00:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Theoretically, they could also be listening for various waveforms and alerting Google if it hears them. | Jul 21 00:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They already do this to mute Facebook videos if a copyrighted song is playing in the background. | Jul 21 00:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | My guess is that they could easily adapt this so that it could pick up on the audio track from video files, or just various audio files that are playing in the room in general. | Jul 21 00:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | An educated guess would be that the police could get more automated reports because someone is playing such a video with a certain audio track in the same room as their smartphone. | Jul 21 00:42 |
| schestowitz | audio signatures | Jul 21 00:43 |
| schestowitz | or someone else's "Smart" phone | Jul 21 00:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If you can put hundreds of thousands of songs in a copyright database, you could play tens of thousands of videos and train the system to recognize when one is playing in the same room as a smartphone. | Jul 21 00:43 |
| schestowitz | these are many devices out there with microphones now... more than people | Jul 21 00:44 |
| schestowitz | and all of them are connected all the time | Jul 21 00:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Exactly. | Jul 21 00:44 |
| schestowitz | they want to impose "smart" meter on every home in the UK by 2024 iirc | Jul 21 00:44 |
| schestowitz | we pay more for power... to aVOID these | Jul 21 00:45 |
| schestowitz | and then they tell me, well... eventually it's mandatory | Jul 21 00:45 |
| schestowitz | I'm like, we'll see | Jul 21 00:45 |
| schestowitz | there's growing resistance to these things | Jul 21 00:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: It's not difficult to see how this could be used to catch people who watch CP. They play the video and the smartphone realizes what it is and tells Google, and reports its GPS coordinates. | Jul 21 00:45 |
| schestowitz | backlash based on better understanding | Jul 21 00:45 |
| schestowitz | I don't need bugs in my corridors | Jul 21 00:45 |
| schestowitz | these things are NOT there to help me | Jul 21 00:45 |

| schestowitz | no reply from TSA yet | Jul 21 01:26 |
| schestowitz | I doubt they care | Jul 21 01:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Probably not. | Jul 21 01:28 |
| schestowitz | they have a monopoly anyway | Jul 21 01:30 |
| schestowitz | tsa has no real competition | Jul 21 01:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In most cases, no they don't. | Jul 21 01:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're privatized in a few cities though.. | Jul 21 01:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: The AFGE union that represents them usually has an official arrested for a ffelony about every month. | Jul 21 01:32 |
| schestowitz | privatised with competition is even worse | Jul 21 01:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | My guess John is about to have his own bankruptcy. | Jul 21 01:34 |
| schestowitz | no tender/competing for gov. contract | Jul 21 01:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I can't imagine how he's paying for two car loans at once. | Jul 21 01:34 |
| schestowitz | *with no competiob | Jul 21 01:34 |
| schestowitz | maybe he sells CP | Jul 21 01:34 |
| schestowitz | the media reported that Jones was "trading" CP | Jul 21 01:34 |
| schestowitz | the police records we have so far do not prove he was paid for it | Jul 21 01:35 |
| schestowitz | but let's see what the next 11 installments show | Jul 21 01:35 |
| schestowitz | it might already be in my email box | Jul 21 01:35 |

| DaemonFC[m] | I can't imagine porn as a way to get "revved up" for someone I'm not attracted to. Any sort of it. | Jul 21 01:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It kind of makes me laugh when porn is brought in to get one or both partners in the mood. Means they don't like each other/not attracted, and have to fantasize about something else while they're doing it. | Jul 21 01:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I understand the idea and I also understand why you would. | Jul 21 01:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's just that if I had to, I wouldn't be doing anything with that person. | Jul 21 01:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <schestowitz "he had tapes of some asian thing"> John Salinas had a horse-sized dildo that someone set sail upon the lake. | Jul 21 01:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | My mom was over one evening and asked what that banging noise was. I said, "It's John.". | Jul 21 01:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That was when she was staying with me before I moved out so that John wouldn't try to call the police and get me in trouble again. | Jul 21 01:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He kept implying that he was considering it, so I decided to get out before he had the chance. | Jul 21 01:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He said, "I'd be careful if I was you. If I want you out, all I have to do is pick up the phone and call the Fox Lake police and tell them anything I want. Who will they believe?". | Jul 21 01:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: One of the questions he asked while I was having lunch with him in public later was where his dildo went. | Jul 21 01:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I started singing the opening song for Gilligan's Island. | Jul 21 01:42 |
| schestowitz | TSA: only the bestest people! | Jul 21 01:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I was only making the car payment for a few months after I moved out so he would shut the hell up while I was waiting for my attorney to negotiate the plea deal. | Jul 21 01:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | After I signed the plea deal I stopped making the payments. | Jul 21 01:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | My attorney told me that while the law didn't require any cooperation from John or his illegal immigrant Grindr buddy, Luis..... | Jul 21 01:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It wouldn't help my case if they were screaming at them to do something about me. | Jul 21 01:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So I decided that John should think it was over and that he won and that his best outcome was for nothing too bad to come of me. | Jul 21 01:45 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Anything it finds on the file system, really. | Jul 21 01:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | When I made screenshots of Grindr, I would find them uploaded without my knowledge into my Google Drive. | Jul 21 01:51 |
| *dabblerdude has quit (Quit: Leaving) | Jul 21 01:52 | |
| DaemonFC[m] | In that case, it was to prove that John was logged in to Grindr all the way to my mom's house in Indiana and back, because it was feeding me GPS coordinates of where he was because of a bug in the system. | Jul 21 01:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But if you snapshot someone's nudes, for example, you would also obviously end up with them being uploaded to and scanned by Google. | Jul 21 01:53 |
| schestowitz | thanks, grammar corrected | Jul 21 01:54 |

| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: I use Kubuntu now. | Jul 21 01:54 |

| schestowitz | wow, that was fast | Jul 21 01:55 |
| schestowitz | is fedora-kde a red hat thing or volunteer? | Jul 21 01:56 |
| schestowitz | surely by association with the trademark they're already controlled by the council, i..e. IBM | Jul 21 01:56 |
| schestowitz | so it's an illusion of autonomy, at best | Jul 21 01:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The KDE SIG is volunteers, but none of them appear to even use Fedora anything as their primary computer. | Jul 21 01:57 |

| schestowitz | I guess kofler was a "real" gnu/linux user | Jul 21 01:58 |
| schestowitz | so he had to go | Jul 21 01:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <schestowitz "surely by association with the t"> Yes, the people who seem to make the decision about Kofler were Fedora council people, I think. Who else would be able to just delete a fesco ticket that fast? | Jul 21 01:58 |
| schestowitz | just like in 'linux' foundation | Jul 21 01:58 |

| schestowitz | The Free software revolution won't be televised, it'll be socially-engineered | Jul 21 02:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I was warned about the CoC for saying I was disgusted by Nvidia and as soon as hardware with a real Linux driver was out I switched to it and compiled my own kernels at first so that it would work as well as possible. | Jul 21 02:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That would be AMD btw, their RadeonHD 5000 series. Excellent architecture. | Jul 21 02:01 |
| schestowitz | do you have a screenshot of that coc incident? | Jul 21 02:02 |
| schestowitz | and nvidia? | Jul 21 02:02 |

| DaemonFC[m] | If I was Microsoft I'd probably start cleaning up the Windows Runtime mess and discontinue the store. | Jul 21 02:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Move the API that made sense over to the Win32 space. | Jul 21 02:09 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The store has gotta be costing them more than they're getting out of it, and frankly consumers and developers just don't "see the value". I ran into a discussion about how the store is falling apart so badly that some people wrote workarounds to get games to start by going -around- it. | Jul 21 02:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's already an app store that people use on Windows a lot. Valve beat Microsoft to it by about 10 years. | Jul 21 02:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | As a developer, up front you're paying Steam almost as much as Microsoft, but you get a lot more control over your software distribution, and it's not breaking down all the time and getting your customers to hate you with problems you can't fix because it's Microsoft's fault. | Jul 21 02:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Also, you get to capture the consumer surplus, as economists would call it. More people are definitely moving to non-Windows platforms than from them, and they get to take their Steam library with them. Native or Proton. Doesn't matter much as long as it works. | Jul 21 02:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So Microsoft is being beaten to death on their own platform too (the PC) and other than a few first party games and partner stuff, the Windows Store is a total flop for AAA games and software titles. | Jul 21 02:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Valve doesn't really need Linux or Mac to be huge to make money off of them. They can work on Proton instead of convincing developers to port, and honestly... Who cares as long as it works? | Jul 21 02:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Convincing developers to port has for the most part been a lost cause. Either they just say no, or they do it so poorly that it's worse than running it in Wine. (Usually.) | Jul 21 02:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I like the idea of Steam because it's making a lot of people rethink Windows. Like, "I'm putting up with this and it's not even necessary for gaming anymore.". | Jul 21 02:17 |

| MinceR | the mainstream videogame industry is pretty much a lost cause at this point | Jul 21 02:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's a lot of independent developers who host on Steam that I've seen. | Jul 21 02:18 |
| MinceR | they develop extremely dumbed down shitty skinner boxes full of microtransaction and lootbox bullshit, DRM, having to be online to play single player, the inability to run your own multiplayer servers, the inability to save/load games, etc. | Jul 21 02:18 |
| MinceR | and they rarely support GNU/Linux, if ever | Jul 21 02:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Back when it was more like the RIAA and CDs before the internet, if you couldn't convince a major publisher, you pretty much went nowhere. The indie stuff had channels, like convincing Shareware CD-ROMs to include a trial copy. | Jul 21 02:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | You had to mail order for the full thing and it cost more because they had to make physical media and mail it to you. | Jul 21 02:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Online for single player is the worst thing I've seen them do. Even for their sake. | Jul 21 02:20 |

| schestowitz | there are many more analogies to that effect | Jul 21 03:13 |

| DaemonFC[m] | That's just federal. | Jul 21 03:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Not state, county, and city. | Jul 21 03:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Do you really even want to take the chance that you did do something illegal and then all the evidence is right there for them? | Jul 21 03:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Google, Microsoft, and Apple are preserving evidence of countless crimes that certainly some people didn't even commit intentionally, forever. | Jul 21 03:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Even better, you don't know how long they keep the file after you "delete" it. | Jul 21 03:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Attempting to delete evidence is a crime even if it isn't destroyed. So now not only do they have evidence of a crime, you tried to delete the file and didn't and they can prove that too. | Jul 21 03:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | People can find themselves in a whole heap of trouble very quickly. | Jul 21 03:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So it's a crime to store and then it's another crime to try to get rid of them. | Jul 21 03:21 |

| DaemonFC[m] | But it wants them everywhere, and that's why Windows/Mac/Chrome do it. | Jul 21 03:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: There was a case where a church found CP on the music director's laptop. | Jul 21 03:25 |

| DaemonFC[m] | I doubt that the lawyer could have possibly not known that deleting evidence was a crime. | Jul 21 03:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | My take is that they probably figured "Problem solved.". | Jul 21 03:40 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Well, there's the saying that ignorance of the law is no excuse, but the cops will always try to make you make their case for them that you knew it was a crime and did it anyway. | Jul 21 03:43 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, I found the Windows 95 B shell files floating around in a ZIP that someone uploaded to a forum back then. I fed them into RoM II when it asked for them and it patched it to say "Windows 98" as it was putting it in. | Jul 21 04:58 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Those Windows 98 systems I had were pretty funny. They were basically Windows 98 with no IE (or Trident engine), Outlook Express, etc., with the pre-IE 4 shell (with FAT32 awareness), and near the end I even grabbed a few things from Windows Me (like the Disk Defragmenter) and stuck them in. | Jul 21 05:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It would easily run for months without trouble the way I had it set up. The way Microsoft had it configured, you were lucky if you could run 1-2 days between a blue screen of death that forced you to restart. | Jul 21 05:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I didn't see too much need for Windows XP. It was slower and Windows 98 without IE+shell was actually pretty stable. | Jul 21 05:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Very small too. The whole OS took a little under 100 MB of space on the disk. | Jul 21 05:02 |

| schestowitz | future of desktop applications for Linux, you may or may not agree but the inherent power for an user to be able to truly customize the applications available to them, lifecycle manage software in a reasonable way without elevated privileges, access various "app stores", get sandboxing mechanisms that require permissions approvals per application, and do all of this within the confines of their home directory without affecting global | Jul 21 08:05 |

Beyond all this, the battery life of my laptop is consierably better than it ever has been before which is basically just icing on the cake.</p></ | Jul 21 08:05 |

| kingoffrance | or at least that, they can do such "borrowing" | Jul 21 12:06 |
| kingoffrance | gonna be awhile? grab a snickers | Jul 21 12:06 |
| kingoffrance | i did see a banking book "why is there this close connection between business + gov, or why would you borrow paper/credit" and it basically said "balance" unwritten rule | Jul 21 12:11 |

| kingoffrance | to me it seems logical if you wanna trade with someone that is a good reason you might borrow paper or credit | Jul 21 12:11 |
| kingoffrance | point being: unwritten rule is probably not going away IMO | Jul 21 12:12 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Well, when your creditors are willing to lend more money, things go on for a while longer even if you're in serious trouble. | Jul 21 17:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | A lawyer I talked to said that the banks are basically responsible for whatever you do if they don't cut you off, whene you file bankruptcy. | Jul 21 17:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They should be reviewing the accounts and seeing that they're going to take losses if they don't, but she said it's common for them to just look the other way while all the cards get maxed even though they pull your credit and see you're not just maxing their cards. | Jul 21 17:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They ask about your income but it's mostly just because they have to, and you can include your spouse's or live in boyfriend or whatever. They're "flexible". They're figuring your family will come to tge rescue maybe. | Jul 21 17:45 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Lending money to entities/people who are seriously in trouble, well, it's a gamble. | Jul 21 18:00 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The reason that banks do it with people is they know some will file bankruptcy, but even more will go on for years and years making minimum payments with so much interest that even if they don't spend any more credit card money, it'll take 20 years to pay the card off like that. | Jul 21 18:01 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Usually, even by the time someone gives up and files, they've already paid more than they borrowed with minimum payments, even though most of the card is still full. | Jul 21 18:01 |

| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR The fantasy document in bankruptcy court said I was supposed to find $364 rent somewhere in Illinois. | Jul 21 18:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And that I had $120 for food. | Jul 21 18:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They suggested signing up for public housing, which always has a 3 year waiting list and then stops taking names indefinitely. | Jul 21 18:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then when anyone does move in, they're on it until they die. So good luck. | Jul 21 18:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | In reality, if public housing was actually available, we wouldn't have tent cities all over the country, even in "good times" | Jul 21 18:05 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Mandy was shocked when he saw a Youtube video of a sprawling tent city in Los Angeles and it was from before the Coronavirus. | Jul 21 18:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I said, "Yeah, some people do really well in America and most people don't. We have tent cities in Chicago and the police go in there with knives and slash them up and beat up the homeless and then throw lighter fluid on piles of their belongings and tosses in a match. You can't tell mom that. The police are "good people". | Jul 21 18:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | "Your sister told you whatever you wanted to hear, but if I had a condo with a pool and a good job in the Philippines, I would have probably stayed there. Done some research first. The real story was always there, but you believed your sister." | Jul 21 18:08 |
| DaemonFC[m] | She doesn't see a lot of the problem in Indiana because the red states go out of their way to make sure there isn't any poor relief so they can export their homeless onto some other state. | Jul 21 18:09 |
| MinceR | :> | Jul 21 18:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Now, with a third of the country unemployed and experts admitting that the shit really hit the fan at the end of the month, all she does is complain that Starbucks has "weird hours" because "nobody wants to work"..... Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Starbucks is in big trouble and has already closed 1,000 US stores in the last 3 months because $6 coffee is not a big thing in the worst recession ever. | Jul 21 18:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Conservatives have always tried framing unemployment income as a hammock when, in some states, people have been trying to file since March and have still not received a single check. | Jul 21 18:12 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Also, if your employer calls you back or someone offers you a job, the unemployment income just ends right there. You have to take any job that's offered. 1/3rd of Americans are not loafing and staying on unemployment that has possibly a few weeks left and turning down jobs. | Jul 21 18:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's nice to see that the right agrees with Stalin that a million deaths is a "statistic" and that their president is such a wreck of a human being that he didn't recommend face masks and said they made you a wuss until his advisers said that even the fantasy document polling they brought him from within the party looked bad. | Jul 21 18:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think he really will leave if he loses and the reason I say that is that he's still concerned about the polls. | Jul 21 18:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | If he had some grand plan to just take over and turn it into Russia despite the election, I don't think that he would be concerned about polls. | Jul 21 18:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Constitution is pretty clear about when his term ends. Noon on January 20th. If he tries staying past that, it's obvious that he's no longer the president. There is no question about it. | Jul 21 18:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: There's actually been quite a few examples of him installing people that turned out to behave in ways he wasn't expecting. He was visibly stunned that he lost that Civil Rights Act case that expanded employment protections to gay people. | Jul 21 18:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There was the attempted bailouts of coal at the FERC and the TVA, where his own people voted against it and shut down more coal plants. | Jul 21 18:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Once they get the job, for the most part they can only be fired for cause. It's amusing that people are talking Political Fed now. Jerome Powell is doing exactly what the last half a dozen Fed chairs would have. | Jul 21 18:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | How do you think we got hyperinflation in the 70s? Nixon said "I want cheap money and I want it now!" right before the 1972 election. | Jul 21 18:21 |
| DaemonFC[m] | kingoffrance: Well, Trump could just have the Fed print up as much money as they want to and "pay" the debt with that, or threaten to default if the creditors don't take less, or both. | Jul 21 18:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's not even questionable, because the US controls its own money. What obviously happens next is Russia 1998. | Jul 21 18:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | This is the next logical step after the Nixon shock (suspend conversion of US dollars to gold in international settlements), it just took decades to happen. | Jul 21 18:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The problem with gold was that we would never have enough to let the federal government go on a spending spree that would last until way after anyone in that generation was dead. | Jul 21 18:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The only upside here is that we didn't just sell it all off at the lowest price for gold ever, like schestowitz's country did. | Jul 21 18:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So as Trump ruins the Dollar, oddly he's increasing the value of our gold holdings. I suspect it could end up being worth $5-6 trillion after the dollar value collapses. Not just because of the devaluing, but because people are hoarding gold so that can't be devalued. | Jul 21 18:26 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I can't remember exactly how bad Brown's Bottom was, but if the UK had waited they could have gotten like more than three times as much money for the gold. | Jul 21 18:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The people running his country are as corrupt as they are stupid, but it's easy to laugh at someone else. | Jul 21 18:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They threw a lot of their own money and lives down the hole in Iraq/Afghanistan when they should have said "nope". | Jul 21 18:29 |
| psydroid | as far as free software gaming is concerned Xonotic is pretty good, at least it's a lot of fun | Jul 21 18:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | People that high up in the government have no business being ignorant of the business cycle or approximately where we are at in it. | Jul 21 18:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm not sure there will be many businesses to begin another cycle with after the bankruptcy chop shop. | Jul 21 18:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Bankruptcy court will be a disaster too. They'll pack in there and Congress and Trump have not expanded capacity, so viable businesses will end up being gutted in liquidation. | Jul 21 18:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Their assets will being in very little money for their creditors because of all of the other business failings. | Jul 21 18:33 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.usatoday.com | COVID-19 vaccine: Should it be free for all Americans? | Jul 21 18:37 | |

| DaemonFC[m] | But so many people will refuse it from distrust of either vaccines, Trump, or both.... | Jul 21 18:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The fact that they even need to ask about whether it should be "free" at this point shows you what kind of degenerate scum are running the "news" | Jul 21 18:39 |

| DaemonFC[m] | You know, it's not illegal to watch it, but the streaming companies delisted it and nobody will produce it on DVD anymore. :) | Jul 21 19:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Copyright law makes it easy to suppress things when they become inconvenient to the current situation. | Jul 21 19:24 |
| XRevan86 | DaemonFC[m]: You download stuff from rutracker, right? | Jul 21 19:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Fortunately, people ripped the DVD and Blu Ray versions and so nobody can really take it back now, but you have to infringe copyright to watch it, even though it's not illegal to watch. | Jul 21 19:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR It just furthers the point that breaking DRM and sharing stuff is the only way to make sure a working copy always exists. | Jul 21 19:26 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Like so many things, that only works when people have no understanding of the universe. So they explain it again. It's now a metaphor. | Jul 21 19:29 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Gotcha. | Jul 21 19:29 |
| MinceR | "God" doesn't exist | Jul 21 19:29 |

| MinceR | stupid and uneducated people are easier to control | Jul 21 19:30 |
| MinceR | for example, religion works better on them | Jul 21 19:30 |
| MinceR | and yeah, i can't find a closer match to the Ori among the religions of Earth than abrahamism | Jul 21 19:30 |
| MinceR | specifically, christianity | Jul 21 19:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | > what is that? | Jul 21 19:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | A black slave who was working in a plantation house. Often depicted as happy to be there and having a role over the children much like an "aunt". | Jul 21 19:30 |

| XRevan86 | MinceR: Joy doesn't exist under oppression. | Jul 21 19:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | People fear not existing, but it's not negotiable | Jul 21 19:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So instead of facing death with some dignity, they have to create stories. | Jul 21 19:36 |
| XRevan86 | Any saying otherwise is support for said oppression. | Jul 21 19:36 |
| kingoffrance | "before abraham, i was" christ was supposed to make "the lord" obsolete, but thats rewritten now for 2nd coming | Jul 21 19:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | People have a deep seated need to feel in control even when they aren't. | Jul 21 19:36 |
| MinceR | XRevan86: there are degrees of oppression. pretty much every human that exists today is oppressed to some degree. | Jul 21 19:36 |
| *XRevan86 hasn't really picked a stance, it's a pretty subtle thing. | Jul 21 19:36 | |
| kingoffrance | whoops | Jul 21 19:37 |
| kingoffrance | "before abraham was, i am" | Jul 21 19:37 |
| MinceR | yet when it is revealed that i'm not happy about this, people claim i'm "depressed" | Jul 21 19:37 |
| MinceR | so it seems that joy does actually exist under oppression after all | Jul 21 19:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Sometimes they get that they aren't in control of their life and try to bring about their death so that they can control that. | Jul 21 19:37 |
| XRevan86 | "many persons were happy under Stalin" | Jul 21 19:37 |
| MinceR | 21 203651 < DaemonFC[m]> People have a deep seated need to feel in control even when they aren't. | Jul 21 19:37 |
| XRevan86 | Technically true, but you can see why it may raise an eye brow. | Jul 21 19:37 |
| MinceR | yet many people have exerted considerable effort to have a particular person oppress them | Jul 21 19:38 |
| MinceR | do orban's worshippers feel in control because their favorite gypsy owns them and rules over them? | Jul 21 19:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Yes. | Jul 21 19:38 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Some black lady came in with a coupon for adult diapers and the manager was shaking like a leaf and trying to get the police to come investigate "suspicious coupon". | Jul 21 20:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | She said, "You can say black. It's not a bad word.". | Jul 21 20:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I wonder if the phrase "Behind the 8 ball." is acceptable. | Jul 21 20:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The 8 ball is black. | Jul 21 20:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | For that matter, perhaps billiards is racist. | Jul 21 20:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The black ball with the 8 on it is just kind of in the way and making things difficult. | Jul 21 20:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It really pisses you off and that's the only function it has. | Jul 21 20:35 |

| kingoffrance | alive == spirit + corpse | Jul 21 20:44 |
| kingoffrance | dead == just one | Jul 21 20:44 |

| DaemonFC[m] | This place is fucking gross as hell. | Jul 21 21:10 |
| DaemonFC[m] | This is like the kind of motel where Phil Katz died. | Jul 21 21:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I was reading a story about his last several years. | Jul 21 21:11 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They said that he forced his mother out of the company and then wouldn't speak to her again for the rest of his life (1995-2000) because he called the cops to do a wellness check on him and the cop broke in the window of his house and found trash everywhere, and startled Katz who "only agreed to call his mother when [the cop left]". | Jul 21 21:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | He was furious. | Jul 21 21:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then he got busted for driving drunk, then several times for driving with no license, skipped court dates, and then went into hiding, managing the company over email. | Jul 21 21:13 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Living in cheap motels. The neighbors complained of a stench coming from his condo, and the city came in and found bugs and half eaten food and mounds of trash everywhere. | Jul 21 21:14 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Cleaned it and charged him $8,000 for that. | Jul 21 21:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Nobody could force him to get help because the law up in Wisconsin says you have to be a danger to self or others. He was, but what they meant was they didn't care. | Jul 21 21:15 |
| DaemonFC[m] | As long as you pay for stuff with cash and live in cheap hotels it's not necessarily like they know where you are. | Jul 21 21:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They could probably have tracked where he was sending his emails from, but they didn't. | Jul 21 21:16 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It was kind of weird really, that he was running his company and sending patches and stuff for the software over email while he was hiding out from misdemeanor warrants. | Jul 21 21:17 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Wikipedia says (with no citation, trying to find one) that Katz absolutely despised Windows and dismissed it as a passing fad, and therefore didn't even have a Windows version of PKZip until like 1996. | Jul 21 21:18 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I wonder if he ever went into depth about that. | Jul 21 21:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I didn't find Windows 3.1 to be really all that useful. It didn't even have Internet access without major surgery and third party software. | Jul 21 21:20 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The interesting part, to me, was that IE apparently worked on Windows 3.1 as a backport, the 32-bit version, all the way up to 5.01, with the Win32s update. | Jul 21 21:20 |

| DaemonFC[m] | GUIs stuck, but maybe Katz was right that Windows was a passing fad that took a couple decades to start fading away. | Jul 21 21:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Microsoft is quite defensive about that. They absolutely insist that Windows 10 is a success despite most of the market drifting away to Chromebooks and phones. | Jul 21 21:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Or Linux (business and some consumer). | Jul 21 21:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The part that amuses me is that Chrome OS is moving into higher tiers of computing, with Linux apps and Steam. | Jul 21 21:24 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Maricel was pretty dismissive of Chromebooks. I said, "Yeah, but some people spend 20 times more on a Mac and then just run Chrome and not a lot else on it.". | Jul 21 21:25 |

| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: Yeah, she "loves" Apple. The funny part was Mandy was using the Macbook that time forgot and Chrome was screaming that it hadn't had a security update in 5 years. | Jul 21 21:27 |

| DaemonFC[m] | He says, "No the security cameras will see you!". | Jul 21 21:28 |

| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: She was ridiculing my Impala. | Jul 21 21:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I said, "Eh, you're always paying for it. The difference is that the shop I go to isn't embarrassed to put their prices on the sign.". | Jul 21 21:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The funny part I read is that if you actually want a BMW warranty from years 2 to 5, they charge like $5,500 and it's "Not negotiable because that's what's in the computer!". | Jul 21 21:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So like an idiot she not only finances one, but skips over the warranty, and she's ended up paying them more than the warranty would have cost in repair bills. | Jul 21 21:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: The funny part is that when they go under, it's all going away. | Jul 21 21:31 |

| DaemonFC[m] | They got made at me when I said, "While you're at work?". | Jul 21 21:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's a paradox. I work hard and I deserve to enjoy what I have! | Jul 21 21:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Right, that would be between the 10 hours at work, the 8 hours of sleep, and traffic. | Jul 21 21:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're trying to convince themselves of that, it sounds like. | Jul 21 21:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then they have two kids who call their own mother a monster and a bitch. | Jul 21 21:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They're not wrong. | Jul 21 21:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | <kingoffrance "car person telling you somethign"> Of course it's negotiable. You get up and walk out the door and the guy will suddenly go talk to his boss about it. | Jul 21 21:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Wouldn't you know? He really went to bat and that warranty is $1,000 less now. | Jul 21 21:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | These people are dumb and psychologically telling someone it's not negotiable gains compliance. | Jul 21 21:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Then if it doesn't, it is negotiable and "I've never seen my boss do this before but.....". | Jul 21 21:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | 80-90% of the time it is $5,500 because people go yeah sure okay and comply. | Jul 21 21:37 |

| DaemonFC[m] | <schestowitz "maybe it can reach 1,2000 today"> Yeah, they voted for Trump and left me in a run down motel eating power bars and hoping that Immigration schedules an interview soon. Not sympathetic. | Jul 21 23:46 |

| DaemonFC[m] | The worst part of this is that a bunch of people are going to die but they won't just do it all at once and get it over with. | Jul 21 23:49 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It just drags on. | Jul 21 23:49 |

| DaemonFC[m] | I'm about at my wit's end over this mess. I'm so very depressed from having to stay in because everyone outside is hacking up a lung and I don't want to be next. | Jul 21 23:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm hardly alone in the "They had it coming." assessment of most of the Coronavirus victims. | Jul 21 23:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The New York Times was talking about "Oh, this guy who owned a bar and wore a Trump hat was so nice and what did he do to deserve it?". I'll tell you what he did to deserve it. They want to support a monster and let him loose on good and decent people and then how dare you criticize them for what they've done. | Jul 21 23:53 |
