[01:12]	IsambardPrince	Trump tried to drop the charges in a corrupt bargain to let ICE into the city jail.
[01:13]	IsambardPrince	Instead the court appointed an attorney to fill in as the prosecutor.

[01:18]	IsambardPrince	"The EEOC is moving to dismiss 3 harassment cases brought by transgender people employed by Wendy's Reggios Pizza and SisBro. Harassment ranged from having a supervisor demand to know if they had a penis, inappropriate touching by a co-worker, and being outed by a supervisor then verbally harrassed by co-workers.
[01:18]	IsambardPrince	The EEOC states "it is not harassment to acknowledge the truth [that sex is binary, only male and female]". Therefore, harassment of anyone who is non-gender transforming cannot be prosecuted and transgender people are no longer protected against employment discrimination.

[02:55]	IsambardPrince	I said, "Every Russian soldier there that won't defect should die, and Ukraine should have every last inch of their land back and then Putin should hang."

[02:56]	IsambardPrince	The only thing Putin deserves for this is a blindfold and a cigarette.

[03:09]	IsambardPrince	You look up the error on google, it's just a bunch of Indians making YouTube videos about basic troubleshooting steps, very generic.
[03:09]	IsambardPrince	The troubleshooters in Windows rarely fix anything and can cause it to get worse.
[03:09]	IsambardPrince	You apply updates, and it reboots and says "Better every time" and now you get graphical glitches or the fingerprint sensor won't work.
[03:10]	IsambardPrince	That's if the updates even apply at all and Windows Update doesn't break down, but continues alerting you anyway.
[03:10]	IsambardPrince	Or it if doesn't corrupt its own bootloader.
[03:11]	IsambardPrince	Or it reboots and Bitlocker doesn't know how to decrypt your files and demands the passphrase you didn't write down, and couldn't type anyway because Microsoft requires the keyboard disabled until Windows is running.

[03:53]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Trump is trying to do the denaturalization task force again.
[03:54]	IsambardPrince	So if you're a naturalized US citizen it's a good idea to live in a district where Democrats appointed most of the judges.
[03:54]	IsambardPrince	That way they won't be toadies of Trump if they try to bring some fucking garbage through that court.

[06:40]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], She's a major hypocrite.
[06:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	when do you r eckon mr t lets the economy saf entirely?
[06:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	we discussed it last night in re your walmart comment
[06:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	and what would happen if...
[06:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	walmart might become insolvent
[06:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	people buy the cheapest
[06:41]	schestowitz[TR2]	they do price hikes
[06:41]	schestowitz[TR2]	they ban rebates
[06:41]	IsambardPrince	Yes, Walmart should start talking about NFTs again.
[06:41]	schestowitz[TR2]	they came up qith a new name for it here
[06:41]	schestowitz[TR2]	not "discoun t"
[06:41]	IsambardPrince	Remember those are a thing for about 2 seconds there?
[06:41]	schestowitz[TR2]	"rollback"
[06:41]	schestowitz[TR2]	i didn't see that yet
[06:41]	schestowitz[TR2]	i am t old that now they rebrand discounts as "r olllbacks"
[06:41]	IsambardPrince	Walmart gorged themselves on price hikes.
[06:41]	schestowitz[TR2]	i wonder why
[06:42]	IsambardPrince	And now they can't get anyone to bother to shop there.
[06:42]	IsambardPrince	And they lock things and pay police officers.
[06:42]	IsambardPrince	It's like a shop in City 17 with the Combine Civil Protection watching you shop.
[06:42]	schestowitz[TR2]	<IsambardPrince> And they lock things and pay police officers.
[06:42]	IsambardPrince	Just chatter on the ratio with people with ski masks and guns.
[06:42]	IsambardPrince	Very foreboding.
[06:42]	IsambardPrince	Much wow.
[06:42]	schestowitz[TR2]	in football in some countries the cops now want clubs to pay the cops
[06:42]	schestowitz[TR2]	as it's not fair for taxpayers to pay some OILigarchs

[06:43]	schestowitz[TR2]	for their sporting or sportwashing spectacles
[06:43]	IsambardPrince	Jewel doesn't have cops.

[06:44]	TR Bot	 The 2025 Scholarly Kitchen Readership Survey is Now Open - The Scholarly Kitchen
[06:44]	IsambardPrince	The five stages of decline of a business.
[06:44]	IsambardPrince	Must remember to read this.
[06:44]	schestowitz[TR2]	go ahead
[06:44]	schestowitz[TR2]	what are those?
[06:45]	schestowitz[TR2]	i can tell from experience in Sirius
[06:45]	schestowitz[TR2]	but without outlining
[06:45]	IsambardPrince	https://www.amazon.com/How-Mighty-Fall-Companies-Never/dp/0977326411
[06:45]		-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Amazon.com
[06:45]	schestowitz[TR2]	it went like this
[06:45]	schestowitz[TR2]	1. lose key staff
[06:45]	IsambardPrince	Stage 1: Hubris Born of Success
[06:45]	IsambardPrince	Stage 2: Undisciplined Pursuit of More
[06:45]	IsambardPrince	Stage 3: Denial of Risk and Peril
[06:45]	IsambardPrince	Stage 4: Grasping for Salvation
[06:45]	IsambardPrince	Stage 5: Capitulation to Irrelevance or Death
[06:45]	IsambardPrince	By understanding these stages of decline, leaders can substantially reduce their chances of falling all the way to the bottom. Great companies can stumble, badly, and recover.
[06:45]	schestowitz[TR2]	2. start stealing from staff
[06:45]	IsambardPrince	Every institution, no matter how great, is vulnerable to decline. There is no law of nature that the most powerful will inevitably remain at the top. Anyone can fall and most eventually do. But, as Collins' research emphasizes, some companies do indeed recoverin some cases, coming back even strongereven after having crashed into the depths of Stage 4.
[06:45]	IsambardPrince	Decline, it turns out, is largely self-inflicted, and the path to recovery lies largely within our own hands. We are not imprisoned by our circumstances, our history, or even our staggering defeats along the way. As long as we never get entirely knocked out of the game, hope always remains. The mighty can fall, but they can often rise again.
[06:45]	schestowitz[TR2]	3. compromise company ethics
[06:45]	schestowitz[TR2]	4. take ANY client, even bad ones
[06:46]		*x-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@h5zkbfemmwig6.irc) has joined #techrights
[06:46]	schestowitz[TR2]	5. lie t o staff, clients, even providers like webhosts
[06:46]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], Where would you say Microsoft is. They reached denial of risk and peril a while back.
[06:46]	IsambardPrince	With all this stinking money they waste on LLMs and OpenAI.
[06:46]	schestowitz[TR2]	i will say this om MSFT
[06:46]	schestowitz[TR2]	in 2025
[06:46]	IsambardPrince	I'd say Walmart is at Stage 4.
[06:46]	schestowitz[TR2]	they do another buzzword shuffle now
[06:46]	IsambardPrince	Grasping for Salvation.
[06:46]	schestowitz[TR2]	3 this week
[06:47]	schestowitz[TR2]	1. "quantum"
[06:47]	schestowitz[TR2]	(to distract from 2:
[06:47]	schestowitz[TR2]	2. "hey hi" in games
[06:47]	IsambardPrince	Walmart has cops in the stores, admit locking shit up loses sales.
[06:47]	schestowitz[TR2]	the media pointed out BOTH (1) and (2) DO NOT WORK!!
[06:47]	schestowitz[TR2]	3. i forgot what it was, i saw it last night
[06:47]	IsambardPrince	They jacked up the price there's no reason to buy their shitty food.
[06:47]	schestowitz[TR2]	now they try to attack me using    actual criminals
[06:47]	schestowitz[TR2]	and they attack rianne too
[06:47]	schestowitz[TR2]	i will write about  it every day
[06:47]	schestowitz[TR2]	maybe for 2 years
[06:47]	IsambardPrince	You can go to the actual store, or even Aldi, and not have armed cops and rotten produce that tastes like nothing.
[06:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	yes, 600+ posts possible
[06:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	even 1000
[06:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	the numbers are not spoilers
[06:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	we are also not done with ontario criminal
[06:48]	schestowitz[TR2]	but much later
[06:48]	IsambardPrince	So Walmart got exceptionally greedy, chased off legitimate customers, got left with people who steal and smash.
[06:48]	IsambardPrince	And had to pay armed police to stand there all day. AND private security too.
[06:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	we had walmart UK
[06:49]	IsambardPrince	Just driving around the parking lot playing with their dicks, so to speak.
[06:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	also known as ASDA
[06:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	they receded
[06:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	but
[06:49]	MinceR	22 074306 < IsambardPrince> MinceR, Hey you! Pick that up!
[06:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	t hey still use walmart systems
[06:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	and have some walmart in the baord
[06:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	iirc, 2 people
[06:49]	MinceR	can't. i'm still looking for the willpower to continue the jankfest that is "on a rail"
[06:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	and i can tell you that you see the similarity
[06:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	in HR
[06:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	not just the computer systems
[06:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	but t he tactics
[06:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	re  the screwing of customers
[06:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	yes, same
[06:49]	schestowitz[TR2]	remove the low-price choice
[06:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	I linked to that before
[06:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	ASDA did that
[06:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	force people to pay more
[06:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	while the old brands vanish
[06:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	"end of life"
[06:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	re staff
[06:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	give less commitment
[06:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	in the contract
[06:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	and get people to fight over hoiurs
[06:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	get people to leave
[06:50]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], Ramsey says taking stupid risks with money starts with "my job is stable" "I can make the payments with my job."
[06:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	the RTO/relocation equivalent
[06:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	Walmart if not RTO
[06:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	but the tactics are similar
[06:50]	IsambardPrince	Instead of saving money, they spend everything them sign up for payments on a stupid car or something.
[06:50]	schestowitz[TR2]	make the work less pleasant
[06:51]	schestowitz[TR2]	do not keep up with inf lation
[06:51]	schestowitz[TR2]	people get pissed off
[06:51]	schestowitz[TR2]	"early retirement"
[06:51]	schestowitz[TR2]	or leave
[06:51]	schestowitz[TR2]	get back
[06:51]	schestowitz[TR2]	lose seniority
[06:51]	IsambardPrince	"This hubris causes sloppiness and denial of risk."
[06:51]	schestowitz[TR2]	start at bottom
[06:51]	schestowitz[TR2]	lower salary
[06:51]	schestowitz[TR2]	no contract
[06:51]	schestowitz[TR2]	it's a tactic
[06:51]	IsambardPrince	Been there. Like when I financed a car with John.
[06:51]	IsambardPrince	Figuring I could get through 5 years of payments, with John.
[06:51]	IsambardPrince	Then no more John.
[06:51]	IsambardPrince	No more car.
[06:52]	IsambardPrince	Then I had to go buy another clunker after the car got hauled away.
[06:52]	schestowitz[TR2]	we talked about it yesterday afternoon
[06:52]	schestowitz[TR2]	re cars
[06:52]	IsambardPrince	It left me worse off in every way.
[06:52]	schestowitz[TR2]	never mind the context
[06:52]	schestowitz[TR2]	but the upshot was,
[06:52]	schestowitz[TR2]	people take a car on 4 year installment plan
[06:52]	schestowitz[TR2]	we said 4
[06:52]	schestowitz[TR2]	because, 500  amonth
[06:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	6000 a year
[06:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	times 4
[06:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	about the cost of an OK car
[06:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	(maybe "smart")
[06:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	i think cheapest tesla here is about  45k)
[06:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	they hude the real cost
[06:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	they do not really own the car
[06:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	until 4 years later
[06:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	when t he car model 20xx is already "5 years behind"
[06:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	and you finally really own the car, if you are lucky
[06:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	but it's just a garage visit
[06:54]	IsambardPrince	Don't ever make car payments.
[06:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	at that age
[06:54]		*x-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
[06:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	so you keep paying 500 a month
[06:54]	IsambardPrince	You'll be broke as hell and probably lose the car.
[06:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	for garage visits
[06:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	and on and on
[06:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	so not you have some clunker
[06:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	"enjoy YOUR car"
[06:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	*now
[06:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	 i stopped driving
[06:55]	schestowitz[TR2]	to drive you need to work more
[06:55]	schestowitz[TR2]	just to pay for the car
[06:55]		*x-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@h5zkbfemmwig6.irc) has joined #techrights

[06:55]	schestowitz[TR2]	net salary 35k
[06:55]	schestowitz[TR2]	or 3k a month
[06:55]	schestowitz[TR2]	a car can be 0.5k
[06:55]	IsambardPrince	Dave Ramsey says "investing in the lottery, or cryptocurrencies, or heaven help us NFTs, will always bring you pain". LOL
[06:55]	schestowitz[TR2]	rent 1k
[06:55]	schestowitz[TR2]	so there goes half your salary
[06:55]	schestowitz[TR2]	surffice to say:
[06:55]	IsambardPrince	Walmart sez: We will sell NFTs and take Bitcoins!
[06:55]	schestowitz[TR2]	1) you are paid 50k a year
[06:56]	IsambardPrince	That was 5 years ago.
[06:56]	schestowitz[TR2]	2) you CANNOT cycle to work
[06:56]	schestowitz[TR2]	it's too far
[06:56]	IsambardPrince	Never happened.
[06:56]	schestowitz[TR2]	or colleagues would belittle ytou
[06:56]	schestowitz[TR2]	you need a  car to maatch your work status
[06:56]	schestowitz[TR2]	a "decent" car
[06:56]	schestowitz[TR2]	so a lot of the time you spend workiong
[06:56]	schestowitz[TR2]	maybe up to 60 hours a week
[06:56]	schestowitz[TR2]	(for salary of 40)
[06:56]	schestowitz[TR2]	is to pay for the car
[06:56]	schestowitz[TR2]	that you just use to go to work
[06:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	and then you also spent a third of the salary on rent or mortgage
[06:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	for the home you barely use
[06:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	you sleep in it
[06:57]	IsambardPrince	Car payments are horrible. Just horrible.
[06:57]	IsambardPrince	It's a root canal every month when the payment is due.
[06:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	becauee "carl" and "vanet" say stay late, "we have a deadline soon!!"
[06:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	"we'll reward you with a sabdwich"

[06:58]	schestowitz[TR2]	you cannot say no

[06:58]	schestowitz[TR2]	she worked in tech there
[06:58]	schestowitz[TR2]	the 'free meal'
[06:58]	schestowitz[TR2]	you can say no
[06:58]	schestowitz[TR2]	but not really
[06:58]	schestowitz[TR2]	it's like  a showing of disloyalty
[06:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	they will find some excuse/pretext for dismissal
[06:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	they will not say
[06:59]	IsambardPrince	Yeah, they made me pull doubles and brought in sandwiches.
[06:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	"she didn't take the f**ing sandwich"
[06:59]	IsambardPrince	I've had that experience before.
[06:59]	IsambardPrince	Fuck these people.
[06:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	they might say
[06:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	"she browsed a youtube page while at work"
● Feb 22
[07:00]	schestowitz[TR2]	btw
[07:00]	schestowitz[TR2]	i heard about a GAFAM story
[07:00]	schestowitz[TR2]	last month
[07:00]	schestowitz[TR2]	it  went like this
[07:00]	schestowitz[TR2]	many were leaving
[07:00]	schestowitz[TR2]	to take smaller salary
[07:00]	schestowitz[TR2]	to reduce stress
[07:00]	schestowitz[TR2]	coyldn't take it anymore
[07:00]	schestowitz[TR2]	were cutting their salary in more than half
[07:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	"just to survive"
[07:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	one of them was in an office with many colleagues
[07:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	they made them work extra
[07:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	for no extra pay
[07:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	he said,
[07:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	"look, WHERN IT IS 5 PM THIS PC IS SHUT OFF"
[07:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	he would say it out  loud
[07:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	not  just do it
[07:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	5PM?
[07:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	"I AM SHUTTING OFF"
[07:02]	schestowitz[TR2]	then mumvble something about time with family
[07:02]	schestowitz[TR2]	i can respect that
[07:02]	schestowitz[TR2]	but
[07:02]	schestowitz[TR2]	this guy will be first in the layoffs line
[07:02]	schestowitz[TR2]	how dare he work t ill 5 like the contact says?>?
[07:02]	schestowitz[TR2]	"5?? BYE BYE, shutting down machine"
[07:02]	schestowitz[TR2]	i like that
[07:03]	schestowitz[TR2]	further thought
[07:03]	schestowitz[TR2]	if society was right and just
[07:03]	schestowitz[TR2]	we would make machines shut  themsleves off
[07:04]	schestowitz[TR2]	at 5
[07:04]	schestowitz[TR2]	like Windows Update
[07:04]	schestowitz[TR2]	then people smartphones too
[07:04]	schestowitz[TR2]	to prevent people being contacted by anything work related after 5
[07:04]	schestowitz[TR2]	but this is 2025
[07:04]	schestowitz[TR2]	it does not work l;ike that anymore
[07:04]	schestowitz[TR2]	you can get told off for switching off the phone after work
[07:05]	schestowitz[TR2]	rianne was unhappy when in oct. 2022 sirius wanted to sent us company phone
[07:05]	schestowitz[TR2]	and we joked that if they did this we'd put it in the garden

[07:28]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], My mother is utterly broke.
[07:28]	IsambardPrince	Less than $1 in checking.
[07:28]	IsambardPrince	Gives her whole pension to some church.
[07:28]	IsambardPrince	And says they "might have come after her money" if she helped me with Mandy, who has never taken anything.
[07:29]	IsambardPrince	The obligation would end either after he worked for 10 years or was a US citizen.
[07:29]	IsambardPrince	Whichever came first.
[07:29]	IsambardPrince	He's a US citizen.
[07:29]	IsambardPrince	I got it done without her.
[07:29]	IsambardPrince	So there's only three things that could really be going on here in my mind, they're not exclusive.
[07:30]	IsambardPrince	1. She is being bigoted. Racist, views him as an immigrant parasite, which is common among Trump voters. Homophobic, sees gay men as revolting/sinful, common among Christians, and even just garden variety Nazis with an engineering degree like Dad.
[07:31]	IsambardPrince	(Dad is worse. I didn't even ask Dad. He doesn't even obscure it.)
[07:31]	IsambardPrince	2. She doesn't REALLY like me that much and doesn't want me to be happy. She's miserable and misery loves company.
[07:32]	IsambardPrince	3. She really is so brainwashed by this cult, as evidenced by the massive and horrifying (compared with her income) amount she gives to it, roughly $10,000 a year, her entire private pension check, that she has prioritized them in front of her own family.
[07:33]	IsambardPrince	I happen to think it's probably all of that.
[07:33]	IsambardPrince	Just mix it up, you got chocolate in my peanut butter, no you got peanut butter in my chocolate.
[07:33]	IsambardPrince	However you want to put it.
[07:34]	IsambardPrince	Nazi ideology, hates her son (even if she won't come out and say it) and wants him to fail at everything and be miserable), and brainwashed by a cult into giving them $10,000 a year when she knows Mandy wouldn't have ever cost her a single penny.
[07:36]	IsambardPrince	I'd be living in a box before my parents would do anything for me, so I don't dare risk being as reckless as she is with money. I learned a hard lesson with John and where he left me. Destitute and over $100,000 in current debt. It took a gut punch to get out of that. I would have never been able to pay it off myself, I got rid of it in the most destructive (to your credit) way possible.
[07:37]	IsambardPrince	And so I have to be very cognizant of avoiding "consumption". Because if I become a "consooooomer" again then this whole lesson could repeat itself and I'm out living in a tent behind the Citgo and burning sticks for warmth like the people I drive past in the mornings.

[08:24]	IsambardPrince	I got it all ripped out of me.
[08:28]	IsambardPrince	I fell into a deep funk and you know, a manic episode in the interim, after I had to move out while he was at work and go into hiding.
[08:29]	IsambardPrince	Six figures in debt, facing false charges. You know. I didn't know if there was a way back from that. It turned out there was, but it was just going to take a lot of work. But it seemed for a while, a few weeks maybe, like I'd be better off walking in front of a train or something. I had all kinds of plans about how I'd do it.
[08:29]	IsambardPrince	And then I decided that I was too angry to be depressed.
[08:31]	IsambardPrince	It's so obvious, right. They stopped reporting on Metra suicides because they didn't want copycats.
[08:31]	IsambardPrince	But we have them constantly.
[08:31]	IsambardPrince	Hundreds a year.
[08:31]	IsambardPrince	One of Metra's CEOs did it.
[08:31]	IsambardPrince	They caught him embezzling from the RTA and he went and walked in front of a commuter train.
[08:33]	IsambardPrince	It's not particularly clever, right, but like what weighs a million tons and goes 80 miles an hour?
[08:33]	IsambardPrince	They focus on removing guns and stuff, so people do this.
[08:33]	IsambardPrince	Sort of like Japan.
[08:34]	IsambardPrince	Japan does glass doors on the subways and commuter train platforms.
[08:34]	IsambardPrince	It's like some sort of suicide sneeze-guard.
[08:35]	IsambardPrince	People will do anything other than fix their diseased society and social problems so less people even want to do this.
[08:36]		*x-amarsh04 has quit (Quit: Konversation terminated!)
[08:36]	IsambardPrince	We need to fix unemployment and provide people with therapy. There's a radical idea.
[08:36]	IsambardPrince	Instead we get Elon with a chainsaw. Firing half a million people. There will be suicides.
[08:39]	IsambardPrince	"It's said that if you tell a lie often enough, loudly enough, for long enough, myth will be accepted as fact. Entire populations have been lulled into the approval of ghastly deeds and even participation in them by gradually moving from the truth to a lie."
[08:40]	IsambardPrince	This is part of what exploded and took out the chances of Biden or Harris being in office right now.
[08:40]	IsambardPrince	They tried to present men as women, as if it were a fact, in front of a horrified nation where only 14% approved of it.
[08:40]	IsambardPrince	And now they're not talking so loudly about trans issues anymore.
[08:40]	IsambardPrince	Because they know it's why they lost.
[08:41]	IsambardPrince	You can't take that San Francisco or Portland trash and parade it around a Centrist country without a violent reaction, politically.
[08:42]	IsambardPrince	Not now, probably not ever.
[08:42]	IsambardPrince	Good politics means you learn to compromise.
[08:42]	IsambardPrince	Bill Clinton moved too quickly on gays in the military, it almost ended him.
[08:43]	IsambardPrince	He walked it back as Don't Ask, Don't Tell, and quietly planted some seeds.
[08:43]	IsambardPrince	Being gay no longer meant you lost security clearances.
[08:43]	IsambardPrince	Judges would come back 20 years later and throw out DOMA and the state marriage ban laws.
[08:44]	IsambardPrince	1996 was not the right time to be agitating for that. And if Bill Clinton did gay rights in 1996 like Joe Biden did tranny stuff in the early 2020s, there would have been no second Clinton Administration.
[08:44]	IsambardPrince	So being a good politician, he limited the damage, and planted seeds.
[08:46]	IsambardPrince	In all of Clinton's interviews, when people ask why he signed DOMA and why he did all this stuff, he says "It would have been worse if I hadn't."
[08:46]	IsambardPrince	They were pushing to pass a Constitutional amendment. To ban it forever. It would have passed and it would have never been disposed of.
[08:46]	IsambardPrince	So he signed DOMA, and planted seeds (the judges to overturn it).
[08:52]	schestowitz[TR2]	back from breakfast

[09:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	right

[09:31]	IsambardPrince	You can't file a tax return without those PINs.
[09:31]	IsambardPrince	I also suppressed his LexisNexis report and froze it.
[09:32]	IsambardPrince	So there won't be more insurance policies.
[09:32]	IsambardPrince	And if she managed to piss me off badly enough, well.
[09:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	p,s explain to me LexisNexis
[09:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	i keep hearing about it
[09:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	sometimes in re patents
[09:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	sometimes jobs
[09:32]	IsambardPrince	They are "risk solutions".
[09:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	or loans
[09:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	LexisNexis is profiling people right?
[09:32]	IsambardPrince	They're a consumer reporting agency.
[09:32]	IsambardPrince	Yes,
[09:32]	IsambardPrince	Credit bureau.
[09:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	like a private "data broker"
[09:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	with scores for people
[09:32]	IsambardPrince	But caters to car insurance, life insurance, etc.
[09:33]	IsambardPrince	Some banks use it.
[09:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	LexisNexis is the private "CPP credit score"
[09:33]	IsambardPrince	With a frozen report, you can open a bank account, but only with ID.
[09:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	when china does it it's eveil
[09:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	us makes a business out of it
[09:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	like "LexisNexis"
[09:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	some person gets rich

[09:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	china does this at a gov level
[09:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	so it's more evil apparently
[09:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	iirc, gulagboy had serius issues with LexisNexis
[09:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	and stupidly he talked about it in social control media
[09:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	as if to say

[22:20]	IsambardPrince	It's so annoying to use US VPN servers.
[22:20]	IsambardPrince	Half the states now have internet censorship laws.
[22:20]	IsambardPrince	Which are a direct violation of the constitution.
[22:20]	MinceR	when was the last time the usian government cared about the constitution?
[22:20]	IsambardPrince	So if you land on those servers entire websites are like "Oh you live in some heehaw flyover state, nope.
[22:24]	IsambardPrince	Apparently, Trump's "Ukraine deal" was such a giveaway to Russia that it even stunned Vladimir Putin, as it gives Russia everything it wants and more.
[22:24]	IsambardPrince	Trump followed with a UN resolution that does not condemn Russia as the aggressor or call for territorial integrity in Ukraine.
[22:24]	IsambardPrince	One politician in Europe apparently said, "There will be no champagne left in Moscow by the end of the week."

[23:49]	IsambardPrince	Dave Ramsey said he couldn't afford the upkeep on his Jaguar back in the 80s.
[23:49]	IsambardPrince	So he kept refinancing it at friendlier banks until he had to drag a friend in to co-sign.
[23:50]	IsambardPrince	Then his friend ended up making payments on it while the rear main seal blew causing oil to leak out and burn.
[23:50]	IsambardPrince	The repair estimate was $1700 in the 1980s and "I hadn't seen an extra $1700 in months."
[23:50]	MinceR	lol
[23:51]	IsambardPrince	"There was one point where they shut off my electricity and I can only imagine what the guy from the electric company thought when he pulled up to take my meter and I had a Jaguar in the driveway."
[23:51]	IsambardPrince	"Finally, my friend got tired of making the payments on my James Bond smokescreenmobile and decided to gently suggest that I try and sell it."
[23:52]	IsambardPrince	This is a good book.
[23:54]	IsambardPrince	"And the bank gently suggested that I sell it and pay them off or they would repo it, and so I tried to stall and only came to my senses and sold the Jaguar on a Thursday morning because the bank assured me that they would take it on Friday."
[23:54]	IsambardPrince	"I was able to work through the mess, and pay the bank and my friend back, but the process was humiliating."
