[18:00]	schestowitz[TR2]	MinceR: eating other animals
[18:00]	Isambard_Prince	He'd probably be one of the few people that survived in those companies past age 40 when they look to get rid of most people due to salary expectations.
[18:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	plus deforestation etc
[18:01]	Isambard_Prince	There's a lot of reasons why proprietary software just doesn't tend to work well.
[18:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	Isambard_Prince: maybe 30s now
[18:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	from what I hears
[18:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	heard
[18:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	even 35
[18:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	the threshold changed
[18:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	it's like super-models
[18:02]	Isambard_Prince	One of them is that when you're constantly firing people who are in their 30s and 40s and replacing them with people who have no experience, you get a lot more mistakes.
[18:02]	schestowitz[TR2]	they don't have many roles
[18:02]	Isambard_Prince	Mistakes that people with experience likely wouldn't make
[18:02]	schestowitz[TR2]	and figure out they can squeeze in grads on mini-skirt/salary
[18:02]	schestowitz[TR2]	they'd take any salary
[18:02]	schestowitz[TR2]	for "experience"
[18:02]	Isambard_Prince	There's a good reason why businesses SHOULD hire older workers.
[18:02]	schestowitz[TR2]	as they lack any savings
[18:02]	MinceR	schestowitz[TR2]: those other animals should be able to outsmart the devil apes with ease
[18:02]	Isambard_Prince	You hire young people, you get rookie mistakes and a lack of work ethic.
[18:02]	Isambard_Prince	They want to party and get trashed. They use drugs, they call in all the time.
[18:03]	MinceR	but i guess they're just waiting for us to exterminate ourselves so then they can feast on our remains
[18:03]	Isambard_Prince	They slip off into the bathroom during work to check Grindr, or TikTok.
[18:03]	schestowitz[TR2]	 MinceR watch Planet of the Apes
[18:03]	schestowitz[TR2]	you might like it
[18:03]	MinceR	i live on it, sadly
[18:03]	Isambard_Prince	Older workers are less likely to be immature like that.
[18:03]	MinceR	21 190018 < Isambard_Prince> RMS is definitely smart enough that he could have made a lot more money, had he resorted to doing something unethical.
[18:03]	schestowitz[TR2]	we watched several at the cinema
[18:03]	MinceR	seems to me that takes more ASPD than smarts
[18:03]	MinceR	being born rich also helps a lot
[18:03]	Isambard_Prince	Immaturity is costing you payroll hours even in low wage sectors like customer service.
[18:04]	MinceR	(case in point: over 70 million retarded apes in nazi america who automatically believe you're a great person if you were born rich)
[18:04]	Isambard_Prince	It's the same reason why it used to be harder to find housing as an older person.
[18:04]	Isambard_Prince	But now there's a lot of non-subsidized housing that says they won't rent to anyone under 45.
[18:04]	Isambard_Prince	Actually that is illegal.
[18:05]	schestowitz[TR2]	to be under 45?\
[18:05]	Isambard_Prince	They should say nobody under 40. Then no law would be broken at all.
[18:05]	schestowitz[TR2]	:")
[18:05]	Isambard_Prince	The Illinois Human Rights Act says no age discrimination, but only against people above 40.
[18:05]	MinceR	why would you expect work ethic from a species that prefers low quality products and services and generally just doesn't give a fuck about anything?
[18:05]	MinceR	nobody cares
[18:05]	Isambard_Prince	So if you advertise nobody under 45 for an apartment, you discriminate against people between 40-45 which is illegal.
[18:06]	Isambard_Prince	But if you advertise nobody under 40, that's perfectly legal under state law, because you haven't discriminated against anyone over 40.
[18:06]	Isambard_Prince	Under federal law, it's still illegal, but you satisfied the state law.
[18:06]	Isambard_Prince	And it's easier for people to take action under state law because the ICHR is easier to deal with than the federal government.
[18:07]	Isambard_Prince	I'dd be much more concerned with satisfying the state law.
[18:07]	Isambard_Prince	Right now I could go to that apartment, and apply, and when they deny me, I could file a complaint with ICHR and they'd potentially owe me a lot of money because of that listing.
[18:08]	Isambard_Prince	I am not required to prove that it was because I'm under 45. I'm required to prove that I wanted the apartment and there was NO CHANCE I would get it because of the age requirement.
[18:09]	schestowitz[TR2]	did they make "sour face"?
[18:09]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], I am dropping my complaint because I was under the influence of REEFER MADNESS! -Brandon Lobster
[18:09]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, ^
[18:09]	schestowitz[TR2]	worse
[18:10]	schestowitz[TR2]	we have some explosive material
[18:10]	MinceR	lol
[18:10]	schestowitz[TR2]	but am not publishing yety

[18:12]	Isambard_Prince	"And he's never done anything immoral....UNLESS YOU COUNT ALL THE TIMES HE SOLD DOPE DRESSED AS A NUN!" "Or illegal....UNLESS YOU COUNT THE PRESCHOOLER PROSTITUTE RING!" 
[18:12]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, Great movie. Also, Canadian, oddly enough.
[18:12]	Isambard_Prince	Back when they had a sense of humor I suppose.
[18:12]	MinceR	it's easier to have a sense humor when it's less obvious that everything is going to shit because of humans
[18:13]	MinceR	s/nse/nse of/
[18:14]	Isambard_Prince	Yeah. The early 1980s were just an easier time I suppose. Even with the beginning of the end of liberal democracy and worker rights, it still wasn't as bad as trying to live today.
[18:14]	Isambard_Prince	Now you have to chat with a robot to see if you get a job.
[18:14]	Isambard_Prince	And they call it an interview.
[18:15]	Isambard_Prince	Illinois just passed a law, not enough really, to regulate "AI" in hiring decisions.
[18:15]	Isambard_Prince	But it just said it can't consider your zip code or do anything that results in violating the Human Rights Act.
[18:15]	Isambard_Prince	But the question is how you would prove that.
[18:15]	MinceR	in the early 1980s you could just buy a computer without any backdoors in it
[18:16]	MinceR	and you could just run whatever code you wanted on it, and this was considered normal
[18:16]	Isambard_Prince	I mean I hope that they decide that makes it too dangerous to use, but they will probably continue to use it illegally with no consequences.
[18:16]	MinceR	and you weren't considered to be some kind of evil monster because you wanted to
[18:16]	MinceR	also, nazism wasn't super popular
[18:18]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, Projection works by accusing other people of being precisely what you are. When people say the only people who want to use Free Software are "criminals", it's usually criminals that are saying this.
[18:19]	Isambard_Prince	Almost everyone caught with child porn for example, was a Windows user.
[18:19]	Isambard_Prince	And the people who write software to take away privacy, are interested primarily in little kids, it often turns out.
[18:20]	Isambard_Prince	These people are so sick that it doesn't even occur to them why what they are doing is wrong.
[18:20]	Isambard_Prince	So they don't even bother to hide it that well.
[18:21]	Isambard_Prince	In some cases, they even plaster it all over their online presence.
[18:21]	Isambard_Prince	They're not interested in privacy. Either they're not smart enough or it honestly does not occur to them why they would.
[18:22]	Isambard_Prince	People with sick fetishes tend to cloister themselves together in the major cities.
[18:22]	Isambard_Prince	Where moral decay is accepted as normal.
[18:22]	Isambard_Prince	And there's a certain degree of anonymity because of there being a lot of people.
[18:22]	Isambard_Prince	So you get stuff like this in Chicago, or San Francisco.
[18:23]	Isambard_Prince	That's why in Chicago they put an S&M museum next to a sex shop that puts their wares in the window, across from a park for children.
[18:23]	Isambard_Prince	Or in San Francisco, they have the Folsom Street Fair.
[18:24]	Isambard_Prince	But then these people get on the Web and start petitions against Richard Stallman, based on nothing.
[18:25]	Isambard_Prince	Projection is....accusing everyone else of being what YOU are.
[18:25]	Isambard_Prince	There are gay men who I don't want to be affiliated with, most of them for that matter, maybe.
[18:26]	Isambard_Prince	They get on sex apps and they flaunt that they're with different men every night.
[18:26]	Isambard_Prince	They flaunt that they don't use protection and that they're proud of being diseased.
[18:26]	Isambard_Prince	They openly admit that they want to have sex in public and snort poppers while they do it.
[18:27]	Isambard_Prince	And then there's others that vaguely care about STIs but are still on Grindr, and they know that being exposed to STIs multiple times in every week is a given, so they give Grindr medical information about themselves, like what they've been vaccinated for, and that they take pills every day to try to reduce the harm from being repeatedly exposed to dozens of STIs.
[18:28]	Isambard_Prince	I mean, I know I've taken vaccines that make sense for me. Why would I tell a sex app that tells Facebook
[18:29]	Isambard_Prince	I hate Grindr. It's, pretty much GIVING it to conservatives, why they are justified in being homophobes.
[18:29]	Isambard_Prince	Because easily 70-80% of gay men are like this.
[18:29]	Isambard_Prince	If not more.
[18:31]	Isambard_Prince	And there's a reason why I say pedophiles should be incinerated (especially gay ones), because even if that's actually not the norm for anyone, gay or straight, they'll use that.
[18:31]	Isambard_Prince	Every time they find a gay one, they'll use that.
[18:31]	Isambard_Prince	They'll use anything they can get their hands on.
[18:32]	Isambard_Prince	They'll completely ignore all the straight ones. They'll ignore that every day in the news it turned out that some Christian conservative firebrand pastor, turned out to be the miniature Jeffrey Epstein of his local church.
[18:38]	MinceR	21 192035 < Isambard_Prince> These people are so sick that it doesn't even occur to them why what they are doing is wrong.
[18:38]	MinceR	well, it's difficult to suspect what one does is wrong when tens of millions tell them they're so great
[18:38]	MinceR	and, as you can see, they don't even need to hide it
[18:40]	Isambard_Prince	Basically.
[18:40]	Isambard_Prince	They just move where the community "values" go "Well, you like kids? That's just another alternative lifestyle. Yay you!"
[18:40]	MinceR	i wonder how many years we have until ruscist start openly campaigning as pedophiles running for a pedophile cause
[18:41]	MinceR	s/ist/ists/
[18:41]	Isambard_Prince	We had this problem before. Child molesters trying to attach themselves to the gay rights movement.
[18:41]	Isambard_Prince	Then it was trannies, who successfully did so and that's not as bad as child molesters, but it's still setting us back.
[18:42]	Isambard_Prince	While polls show that about 73% of Americans are okay with gay men, that was over 80% before the "LGBTWHATEVER" thing happened." It's hurting us.
[18:42]	Isambard_Prince	Because trans was polling at like 40% or something and they hitched on.
[18:42]	Isambard_Prince	And we didn't pull them up, they dragged us down.
[18:42]	MinceR	well, now it's the anti-gay-rights movement they're attached to
[18:43]	Isambard_Prince	It's two different issues.
[18:43]	MinceR	the "conservative" alternative to LGBTQ+ rights: pedophile rights.
[18:50]	Isambard_Prince	Yeah, what sort of people say that gays are disgusting, then they're flying around on Epstein's plane and there's little girls that they're 50 years older than sitting next to them?
[18:51]	Isambard_Prince	Epstein being caught didn't stop them. They just got new suppliers.
[18:51]	Isambard_Prince	That's why they all have yachts.
[18:51]	Isambard_Prince	It's hard to prove a crime at sea, especially when the victim is a girl abducted from another country where nobody will investigate.
[18:52]	Isambard_Prince	And honestly, you know, the same people who were photographed with Epstein are probably on those yachts and throwing the victims overboard when they're done.
[18:52]	Isambard_Prince	These people learn after getting burned the first time that survivors talk.
[18:56]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], For the hell of it, I got a VCR and a console TV.
[18:56]	Isambard_Prince	It's an old RCA model the Catholic thrift store had. They only wanted $20.
[18:57]	Isambard_Prince	There were some lines in the picture that were annoying so I emailed my dad and he told me how to fix that.
[18:57]	Isambard_Prince	He would know. He designed it.
[18:57]	Isambard_Prince	:)
[18:58]	Isambard_Prince	The tapes I've found so far all still work fine.
[18:59]	Isambard_Prince	Even though they've probably been stored in non ideal conditions and haven't been watched in years.

[23:12]		*Received a CTCP VERSION from StatServ
[23:30]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], I noticed that there's a lot of hotels that used to cost a lot of money to stay at that are now almost ridiculously cheap.
[23:30]	Isambard_Prince	I think they just flooded the market while times were good now there's too many hotels vs. customers and they have to lower the price.
[23:30]	Isambard_Prince	It's a race to the bottom with everything these days.
[23:31]	Isambard_Prince	One I stay at a lot is starting to not fix problems with the rooms, but it's still "okay" for now.
[23:32]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, In the 1980s, the home computing market was a novelty.
[23:32]	Isambard_Prince	Nobody thought to be particularly nasty to the customer, like Microsoft is now, because there was a lot of competition and you didn't have to buy one at all.
[23:32]	MinceR	also, computing wasn't important for most ASPD enjoyers to try to control it
[23:32]	MinceR	s/tant/tant enough/
[23:33]	Isambard_Prince	Microsoft is laying off lots of people because Roy pointed out, they're in a lot of debt without any obvious new source of profit.
[23:33]	Isambard_Prince	Windows is collapsing.
[23:33]	Isambard_Prince	People are fleeing to Google, Linux, and Apple.
[23:33]	MinceR	well, they also don't need to do much to stay where they are
[23:33]	Isambard_Prince	And even MS Office isn't what it was before.
[23:33]	Isambard_Prince	Almost everyone is reasonably compatible with it.
[23:33]	MinceR	you can't buy a PC without UEFI and Restricted Boot
[23:33]	MinceR	they also own Linux
[23:33]	MinceR	in many places you also can't buy a PC without Backdoors being preloaded
[23:34]	MinceR	and afaict most businesses religiously believe in MICROS~1's trash, every little bit of it
[23:34]	MinceR	it doesn't matter that none of it works, it doesn't matter that everyone with a braincell despises Teams
[23:35]	MinceR	many Android devices also come preloaded with their trash
[23:35]	MinceR	they also have poettering and van rossum
[23:36]	MinceR	they also control rust, which even otherwise reasonable-seeming people are all over, because you've got to have the magic handcuffs that make you write good code

[23:47]	Isambard_Prince	Pritzker is absolutely right to refuse to give the Chicago Bears $850 million in "subsidies" to build a new stadium. I mean Jesus Christ. WTF. $850 million when the state is broke and people are sleeping on benches in the snow, for a sports stadium.
[23:47]	Isambard_Prince	It's just not something we can tolerate. It's something that never should have happened in 2003 with Soldier Field, but it did because the economy was a lot better in 2003.
[23:58]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, A bunch of gaskets in my engine went a while back and all the oil started to come out from the rear valve cover and the timing belt cover. Since the timing belt cover coming off meant a new oil pan gasket too, that seepage from there that I wasn't terribly concerned about meant that got replaced too.
[23:58]	Isambard_Prince	Since the repair though I'm not down any oil even 2,500 miles into this oil change.
[23:59]	Isambard_Prince	I would have had to put in at least a quart by now even before the timing chain cover decided to blow.
[23:59]	Isambard_Prince	(I said belt, it's a chain)
