[00:40] DaemonFC "So why are they still here?" [00:40] DaemonFC I can answer that. [00:40] DaemonFC Corporations like them for a lot of reasons, some of which have to do with the hyperinflation. [00:41] DaemonFC It costs money to print new menus. If you do what some restaurants do and try to write in new prices, it looks tacky and makes it more obvious, which leads to resentment from the customers. [00:42] DaemonFC Hyperinflation under Joe Biden is so bad that price revisions come every few weeks now, and so a minor nuisance of printing new menus every year means that you have to cycle in new menus much more often. [00:42] DaemonFC So it's mostly hiding what everyone already knows is going on and cutting costs. [00:44] DaemonFC We went to a restaurant during COVID where they told me to take a picture of a QR code on a table and I said "Gee, that's dumb." and asked them to bring me a physical menu instead. [00:44] DaemonFC Assumes everyone has a cell phone and it's going to load your menu so they can struggle to read it on a 5 inch screen. [00:44] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], Corporations are assholes, my friend! [00:45] DaemonFC DaemonFC, my favourite is the cheesy gordita crunch and fries supreme [00:45] DaemonFC They got rid of my favorite. [00:45] DaemonFC The grilled stuffed burrito. [00:46] DaemonFC I still think someone ought to be allowed 10 minutes where the battery law doesn't apply to go after Morgan Spurlock. [00:46] heureka i think the inflationary pressure was ignited a decade before Joe B. became president [00:47] DaemonFC People are fatter than ever. His documentary about eating McDonalds for an entire month didn't help anything. [00:47] DaemonFC All it did was cause them to get rid of super size fries. [00:47] heureka since "financial crisis" central banks "bailed out" with "quantitative easing", low interests, excess gamble at stock exchange [00:47] heureka there was excess cash flowing, supposed to stimulate economy [00:48] heureka economers had been warning about this for more than a decade [00:48] DaemonFC I liked the super size fries, honestly. Like, they were 150% larger than a Large but they only cost another 39 cents. [00:48] DaemonFC So you could dump them on the plate and share them with someone. [00:48] DaemonFC I think they realized people were doing this and they could sell two large fries and make more that way. [00:49] DaemonFC there was excess cash flowing, supposed to stimulate economy [00:49] DaemonFC Well, that's how the Fed can raise rates so quickly. [00:49] DaemonFC It's been willing to prop up the federal government's spending by buying federal bonds, no limit. [00:50] DaemonFC So now all they have to do is let those bonds roll off the books and not buy more, and the feds have to go look for loans elsewhere again. [00:50] heureka in Europe, the officially announced inflation of ~2% was nowhere near the _real_ inflation in the last decade [00:50] DaemonFC Rates come back up because the Central Bank isn't gobbling them up. [00:50] DaemonFC in Europe, the officially announced inflation of ~2% was nowhere near the _real_ inflation in the last decade [00:50] heureka for example, a single hamburger at mac donalds was sold for 1Euro ten years ago, now it's 1.50Euro [00:51] DaemonFC Well, the design of the Fed is to never allow deflation to happen. [00:51] heureka this is 4.5% annual inflation with compound interest, twice as much the inflation data officially announced by EU/ECB [00:51] DaemonFC The government doesn't want deflation because of the idea that the economy will seize up. [00:51] DaemonFC And as we all know, the economy is people trying to get rid of or invest money to avoid inflation. [00:52] heureka as i said before, i was "blessed" with two "currency reforms" already (expropriations that was), since 1990 [00:52] DaemonFC I think the best thing to do with dental insurance in the US is to outlaw it. [00:52] heureka and the recent price explosions is the THIRD expropriation... [00:52] DaemonFC That would make the most sense in getting dental costs under control. [00:53] heureka how should anyone plan long-term business with this type of government in germany? [00:53] DaemonFC If you outlaw the insurance, employers could still give you a dental allowance on a flex-spend card. [00:53] DaemonFC But there'd be no networks, no fake discounts to drive business back and forth., [00:53] heureka and in recent years, they boiled up with blame game, corona at fault, putin at fault, climate at fault... except excess spendings and mal-investments [00:53] DaemonFC Dental works like medical in that you go in and ask what the prices are and not even the dentist will tell you. [00:54] DaemonFC They say you can have a "cost estimate". [00:54] heureka the austrian economic "theory" of "mal-investment" seems the most plausible [00:54] DaemonFC The "cost estimate" means that they won't commit to anything. Horribly enough, the estimate is going to be more inaccurate for insured patients than non-insured. [00:54] DaemonFC Because they don't know if your dental insurance will actually approve it or not. [00:55] DaemonFC Insurance companies like to just say "That wasn't necessary!". [00:55] heureka whenever i had income i always paid _all_ taxes and insurance fees, i didn't cheat a single coin [00:55] DaemonFC It wasn't necessary to pull or fill a rotting tooth. [00:55] DaemonFC It wasn't necessary to get something to replace those teeth (implants or partials or full dentures). [00:55] heureka what make me angry with medical dental insurance, i already did pay insurance, and the fees in germany are rather high [00:56] DaemonFC It's great isn't it? Nothing they claim they cover is guaranteed to be "medically necessary". [00:56] heureka if dentists ask additional fees that's beyond limits [00:56] DaemonFC So all the insurance does is this. [00:56] heureka i don't accept this, as a matter of principle, not any additional coin [00:56] DaemonFC "Pay me a lot of money and I'll decide if you get any of it back." [00:57] DaemonFC I get by okay with no dental insurance. [00:57] heureka besides, it was "social democrats" who introduced the "bonus" system with medical insurance [00:57] DaemonFC They wanted to bill me $50 a month for dental insurance this year. [00:57] DaemonFC I haven't had dental insurance since 2006. [00:58] DaemonFC Since 2006, including cleanings, I have spent about $1,100 on dental care. [00:58] heureka last time i contracted and paid private insurance, this summed up to ~800Euros/month healt insurance, after taxation [00:58] DaemonFC And that's with two fillings along the way! [00:58] DaemonFC I could have done the fillings cheaper at a dental college. [00:59] heureka i mean, it's ok, if taxes and insurance fees are calculated correctly, and _real_ income [00:59] IPFS IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 76.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 108.03 average k/sec., average swarm size 113.23 [00:59] heureka anyway, i'll not pay any additional coin anywhere for anyting if anytime i need medical care ● Aug 22 [01:00] DaemonFC Let's assume in constant dollars that I paid $50 (2022) every month for 16 years. Let us also assume a $50 deductible and an 80% rate of payment for fillings. I would have spent $10,000 on insurance ($50 for 200 months). [01:00] DaemonFC Then they would have turned around and covered my cleanings, which are $15 each twice a year, the x-rays, which I get at the school with the cleanings, and two cavities filled in 2007 less the $50 deductible [01:01] DaemonFC So you pay $10,000 and get $900 in benefits, maybe. [01:01] DaemonFC That's a pretty shit deal. [01:02] heureka well, nowadays, this economy here doesn't at least bother anymore to pay anything for my work [01:02] DaemonFC And it'll only pay those benefits if some adjuster at the insurance company thinks you needed that. [01:02] DaemonFC Someone who has never seen you before and doesn't care if your teeth fall out. [01:04] DaemonFC It's cheaper for me to just pay cash if something happens. [01:04] DaemonFC Assuming I don't have awful teeth. Nobody in my dad's family does. [01:04] DaemonFC None of his siblings do, he doesn't. [01:04] DaemonFC They're the kind of people that can brush with baking soda and a 50 cent toothbrush and not go to the dentist and they're fine. [01:05] DaemonFC My uncle Stan was 60 years old the first time he went to the dentist. [01:05] DaemonFC He needed one filling and that was it. The dentist didn't even believe him that he'd never gone. [01:06] DaemonFC They were so poor when my dad was growing up because Grandpa drank all the money he made at the General Motors factory, that the kids all had to eat...whatever they could find. They were lucky if they had enough food in the house to make bologna and cheese sandwiches. Grandpa had them out in the field stealing corn a lot. [01:07] DaemonFC One time, my Grandma had to fry up some bait shrimp that Grandpa had in the fridge and feed it to the kids and then he came home drink and beat them all starting with her. [01:07] DaemonFC She was a good woman, but she ended up with a very very bad man. [01:08] DaemonFC The kids never had a toothbrush, so they ended up brushing their teeth with......a washcloth and baking soda. [01:08] DaemonFC I shit you not. [01:08] DaemonFC This house would have been so busted by child services if any of that was going on today. [01:10] DaemonFC That's why my father got his first job at 13, repairing TVs as the TV shop after school. He did it so he could buy some food to eat. [01:10] DaemonFC By the time he moved out, he had a car. It was a clunker that he had to pour a quart of oil in every day just to keep driving it. [01:11] DaemonFC And the only reason he and my mom could afford rent was because they were renting an apartment from a senile old woman named Mrs. Shively who thought it was 20 years ago so she was only billing them $50 to rent the upstairs apartment. [01:11] DaemonFC She locked them out of the apartment every day and they had to carry a copy of the lease and argue with her for about an hour to let them back in. [01:11] DaemonFC I asked mom how they could stand it, and she said if they rented anywhere else in town the rent would have been three times as much or more.

Driving an old battle wagon that's leaking oil and half rust.). [01:13] DaemonFC Life's been a hell of a lot worse at times for me than it is now. That's the only reason I can get through my day now.

[01:40] heureka how would it infringe GPL copyleft if _authors_ themselves decided to license their own work without copyleft? [01:40] *bnchs has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [01:41] heureka anyway, the reason i want to remove busybox is it's Kbuild/makefiles entangle against gcc specifics which complicated to compile busybox with an alternative compiler [01:42] heureka both busybox and tcc are GPL, however it was difficult to compile/link busybox with tcc, hence i chose toybox to test with [01:42] DaemonFC " They never resulted ina single line of code added to the busybox repository. They HAVE resulted in more than one company exiting Linux development entirely and switching to non-Linux operating systems for their embedded products, and they're a big part of the reason behind Android's "No GPL in userspace" policy. (Which is Google, not Sony.)" [01:42] DaemonFC Yeah, which blew up on Google big time. [01:42] DaemonFC And they ended up violating their no GPL in userspace policy anyway for most of their userspace. [01:42] DaemonFC After AVOIDING the GPL got them into a huge lawsuit with Oracle. [01:43] DaemonFC Apple purging GPL'd software from the Mac doesn't hurt us, only them. [01:43] DaemonFC And their customers. [01:43] DaemonFC Apple was never a big contributor to any of those components, they only used them. [01:44] heureka i didn't follow all details, and don't know all of them; however, to my understanding in case of busybox/toybox Rob Landley is the _author_ of most parts of toybox and many parts of busybox [01:44] DaemonFC It made Mac OS work better, and the penalty for Free Software of them using the components was that since people COULD use a Mac for more things thanks to the software Apple shipped, they did. [01:44] DaemonFC Now that Apple cares more about avoiding GPL than shipping software that works, it hurts their users and maybe drives some away from the Mac. [01:44] DaemonFC Nobody who has used "SMBX" likes it. [01:44] heureka who then had infringed or violated any GPL copyleft? this is what i don't understand. [01:45] heureka with either busybox and/or toybox it is the authors who decide about licensing/re-licensing their work [01:45] DaemonFC In many cases there's a list of things to NEVER try to do with it or else your Mac will freeze up trying to access a remote share or something. [01:45] DaemonFC I doubt the Busybox lawsuits really hurt or helped us, honestly. [01:45] DaemonFC I think Landley is hugely self-important. [01:46] DaemonFC The major issue here is that the license of Linux doesn't matter because it's not enforced. [01:46] heureka well, i decided to test touybox recently, because of _technical_ reasons, not licensing (BSD vs GPL) [01:46] DaemonFC It's not enforced because the people controlling it actually don't care if people violate it or not. [01:47] DaemonFC If the lawsuit against Vizio isn't successful, it will just encourage yet more violations because it will set the precedent that the users are powerless to stop violators as well. [01:49] heureka which violations? that's the question, because it is the _author_ who may wish to enforce GPL copyleft or none thereof, it's the decision of the author [01:49] XRevan86 https://novayagazeta.eu/articles/2022/08/21/explosive-device-in-jeep-of-daria-dugina-had-400-grams-of-tnt-in-it-news "Explosive device in jeep of Daria Dugina had 400 grams of TNT in it" [01:50] TR Bot .

[01:52] DaemonFC Obviously, that's not a valid interpretation in a US courtroom. [01:52] DaemonFC Vizio lost a very important motion already. [01:53] DaemonFC They tried to have the case removed to federal court, which wouldn't have really considered contract law like the state courts of California would. [01:53] DaemonFC So it's back in a California court room. Whichever is least favorable to Vizio is where I'd like the case to be heard. [01:53] *psydroid2 has quit (connection closed) [01:54] DaemonFC California is a sufficiently large market that if it's established that the GPL is a contract with the user in California, violators will have a serious problem. [01:54] DaemonFC It also gives leave to sue under the laws of 49 other states. [01:54] DaemonFC Which is pretty cool. [01:55] DaemonFC You could end up with most of the country recognizing the rights of the user to enforce the GPL if only a few large states do that, or if a number of smaller ones do. [01:55] DaemonFC Vizio alone now could be facing 49 other major lawsuits over those television sets now in 49 separate jurisdictions. [01:56] DaemonFC It would be easier to just figure out how they're going to comply and avoid this. [01:56] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], I was disappointed with the BIPA settlement involving Lemonade. [01:57] DaemonFC It turned out that the case was a bit weaker than it was against Facebook. [01:57] DaemonFC It settled for less than $5 million. [01:57] DaemonFC Most of the evidence against Lemonade was what a tweet that they made and then quickly deleted actually meant. [01:57] heureka DaemonFC: it's not a notion of German law (to distinguish author's rights), if any it's common sense [01:58] DaemonFC But the tweet did end up costing them $5 million I guess. [01:58] DaemonFC Jorg Schilling had a very abusive and stupid set of ideas. [01:59] heureka i have no clue at all, how FSF/SFLC whoever could sue anyone over busybox, if FSF/SFCL lawyers were not hired by the _authors_/copyright-holders [01:59] IPFS IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 41.23 k/sec., IPFS upstream 113.68 average k/sec., average swarm size 107.30 [01:59] *heureka has quit (connection closed) [01:59] DaemonFC https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Forbidden_items#cdrtools [01:59] TR Bot Forbidden items - Fedora Project Wiki [01:59] DaemonFC cdrtools [01:59] DaemonFC At one point in time cdrtools was entirely licensed under the terms of the GPL (and included in Red Hat Linux, the precursor to Fedora), but later, most of the codebase was relicensed to CDDL (but notably, not all of it), resulting in a codebase which is an incompatible mix of the GPL and the CDDL. The cdrtools upstream is aware of these concerns, but holds a set of unorthodox opinions on licensing which are not shared by the FSF or Red Hat [01:59] DaemonFC Legal, so it is unlikely that this situation will ever be resolved in a fashion that would result in cdrtools being acceptable for Fedora. For more details, see: [01:59] DaemonFC https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-legal-list/2009-July/msg00000.html [01:59] TR Bot ( status 503 @ https://listman.redhat.com/archives/fedora-legal-list/2009-July/msg00000.html ) [01:59] DaemonFC Fedora Suggests: Use cdrkit (fork of cdrtools before the licensing issues) instead. ● Aug 22 [02:00] DaemonFC Schilling was German and maintained that they had some sort of rights under German law to prevent forks they didn't like of software they previously licensed entirely under the GPL. [02:00] DaemonFC I don't know what that was about, but it sounds ridiculous. [02:01] DaemonFC You can't retroactively change the rights of something you licensed a certain way and distributed to people. [02:01] DaemonFC And then go "Hey, I'm an author of that in Germany and I have the right of take backsies under a law that doesn't apply to you!". [02:02] DaemonFC If that argument is true, then the only way to be safe from the laws of Germany would be to permanently exclude all Free Software contributions from anyone in Germany. [02:02] DaemonFC And to go back and remove any that you previously accepted. [02:02] DaemonFC Then the Germans would be at a disadvantage. [02:03] DaemonFC Because they couldn't get any software jobs because it could potentially make your entire project illegal in Germany if they assert their "rights of the author" later. [02:04] DaemonFC So, like, nobody took them seriously. [02:05] DaemonFC Like, some abusive pseudo-legal letters appeared and people talked about it a little, and then kept cdrkit in the repo. [02:05] *heureka (~heureka@sctsjmg96zkru.irc) has joined #techrights [02:05] heureka weird, my onion circuit went down [02:06] heureka anyway, how are FSF/SFLC obligated to sue anyone? it is the _authors_/copyright-holders who may wish to do so. [02:06] *Despatche (~desp@u3xy9z2ifjzci.irc) has joined #techrights [02:07] heureka and if authors chose to dual-license/re-license their work with GPL and BSD, how was this supposed to violate any license terms? [02:07] heureka of cause, if i changed some busybox sources, then i had to publish those changes, if and only if i distributed any binary anywhere. [02:07] heureka that's none of my concerns, certainly i will comply with licensing terms. [02:08] heureka however, it is concerning me some lawyers think they could arbitrarily sue anyone with the only result being: [02:08] heureka "So tell me: where's all this great code we got out of the lawsuits? In the entire time the SFLC or Conservancy have had the right to sue people over BusyBox, where is one line of code it resulted in? I honestly want to know, because I can't name any, and I was a plaintiff!" [02:09] DaemonFC Schilling did all kinds of crazy things in cdrtools that wouldn't even be allowed in Fedora. [02:09] DaemonFC For starters, parts of it are setuid root. [02:10] heureka well, that's technical issues again. [02:10] heureka besides, i had technical issues with busybox, to refrain from it, if possible. and test toybox instead. [02:10] DaemonFC It was meant to be "cross platform" and being setuid root makes that easier than limiting your capabilities using the native methods on that OS. [02:11] heureka and, if i wanted to or could contribute to any such project, it would be toybox probably, because of particular technical issues of busybox. [02:11] heureka how then, would FSF/SFLC sue anyone over such a decision? [02:11] heureka because, what i tried was compiling busybox (GPL), with a GPLed tcc-toolchain [02:12] heureka you see, GPL here GPL there, however busybox locked out tcc compile with the Kbuild system (can be repaired, yet toybox didn't have this problem to begin with) [02:13] heureka i mean, GPL compliance isn't an issue for me at all, simply because i cannot publish anything at all, due to bureaucratic hindrances in germany. [02:14] heureka which is, at bare minimum i need to pay rent. [02:14] heureka besides, publication and legal claims against those imply other legislation, such as minimum wage. [02:14] heureka so, what's the legal obligation of FSF/SFLC? to enforce minimum wage paid to free software developers? [02:14] *aprates has quit (Quit: WeeChat 3.6) [02:15] starstreak heureka, you're insane, and i should know [02:15] starstreak cuz im insane too [02:17] heureka occasionally i was, errornously, accused of not publishing anything; hence i am asking where is the minimum wage paid first?

[19:55] DaemonFC You go to Walmart, there's over two dozen of them. Haven't counted. It's a lot.

[20:07] DaemonFC And the other parts (like Housing, Employment, and stuff) are almost unenforceable. [20:07] DaemonFC The worst part about it is that it allows big business to get minimum wage exemptions and pay disabled people less than the legal minimum wage.

R.S.O. 1990, c. H.19, s. 17 (2); 1994, c. 27, s. 65 (2); 2002, c. 18, Sched. C, s. 3 (1); 2006, c. 30, s. 2 (1). [20:13] DaemonFC The Government Accountability Office reviewed Social Security's Ticket To Work program and found that the costs exceeded the savings from disabled people leaving the Disability rolls, and that Social Security had wasted $806 million more than the savings between 2002-2015, and undoubtedly the program hasn't gotten better since then. [20:13] DaemonFC So we're probably talking nearly $2 billion wasted and counting by now. [20:13] DaemonFC Ontario, Canada has its own laws [20:13] DaemonFC It's the same concept. [20:14] DaemonFC The government wants to make it look like it's promoting fairness and opportunity. [20:14] DaemonFC So it passes laws and then nobody is ever allowed to go back and ask any questions about results. [20:15] DaemonFC Social Security blowing $2 billion more than savings on Ticket To Work in the past 20 years is small by the scale of the program, but it's clear that it's not working and that the reason they won't shut it down is because of lobbyists at government contractors who would lose too much money if they did.

That's after accounting for the fact that they had to sign a contract with a bank (a really sleazy one btw) to manage government debit cards for people who had no bank account.

I showed the cop an article from the Social Security Administration saying that nobody was allowed to have a paper check in the mail "since about a year ago" so I wondered how I would have done that. [20:23] DaemonFC That's why it's dangerous to try to be in a relationship with someone. [20:23] DaemonFC About half of them go to the police looking for revenge, cooking up a story. [20:23] DaemonFC It's the easiest way to get rid of you and to spite you. [20:24] DaemonFC Bury you 6 feet under with court problems. [20:24] DaemonFC schestowitz-TR2, ^ [20:24] mjg59_ Weird, literally 0 people I've had a relationship with have gone to the police looking for revenge [20:25] DaemonFC Oh you just haven't found the right ones yet, Matt. [20:25] DaemonFC I'm sure if you keep looking, you'll find one. [20:25] DaemonFC This one couldn't even tell a lie that held up for five minutes. [20:26] mjg59_ Maybe this is a you thing rather than a general thing? [20:27] DaemonFC mjg59_, So, the interesting thing is that the police in that state tried to prompt him into making a rape accusation. [20:27] DaemonFC Unprompted, too. [20:27] DaemonFC You know like, the cop brings it up and then when he says, "No, he never did that!". [20:27] DaemonFC The cop goes, "ARE YOU SURE?" Like, we can hurt this guy so much more if you make up THAT lie. It's okay, we'll help you!

[20:28] DaemonFC The police detective was trying to frame me for rape even though nobody had said rape, and in fact had said "No, we had sex but it was always consensual.". [20:29] DaemonFC The cops are homophobes, mjg59_ [20:29] TR News "Torvalds once again downplayed the significance of the release." https://www.makeuseof.com/linux-60-release-candidate-2-released/ [20:29] TR Bot Linux Kernel Development Zooms Along With 6.0 Release Candidate 2 [20:29] starstreak mjg59_, i agree [20:29] DaemonFC They figure out you're gay, they go after you. They help people trump up false reports. [20:29] techuser cuddlybear66: ^ something sex/family-related again, I guess? Maybe just check this channel regularly and I don't ping you anymore [20:30] DaemonFC I suppose it's my failt for just refusing to have anything to do with people like this when the warning signs were there, in retrospect. [20:30] DaemonFC But nobody deserves to have false accusations against them. [20:30] DaemonFC It's just a way for unscrupulous people to abuse the system.

Read on [20:31] TR Bot My podman journey so far | IT-Hure [20:31] DaemonFC mjg59_, You don't even have to be gay. Sometimes it just amuses the police to drive someone to suicide. [20:31] DaemonFC See Ian Murdock. [20:32] DaemonFC They're really bad people. [20:32] starstreak cops hate you even more if you [20:32] starstreak are trans [20:32] DaemonFC They're just especially bad to gay people because in addition to being thugs and assholes, they're homophobic too. [20:32] schestowitz[TR] it is common in these occupations [20:33] schestowitz[TR] also army and secret agencies [20:33] schestowitz[TR] there were many reportes some years ago about cia being abusive to gayts [20:33] schestowitz[TR] gchq and similar agencies also [20:33] schestowitz[TR] they later do rainbow pinkwashing campaigns [20:33] schestowitz[TR] to distract you from the actual truthh [20:33] schestowitz[TR] while they drive out any potential recruit who is gay, trans, etc. [20:34] schestowitz[TR] it doesn't fir in with their clique [20:34] schestowitz[TR] you may not like doughnut [20:34] DaemonFC mjg59_, schestowitz[TR] watched them beat an old man in the street the other day iirc. [20:34] schestowitz[TR] but you must "have a dick and want pussy" (yes, they are bad to women too) [20:34] DaemonFC The guy didn't even do anything. The cop just felt like kicking the guy's ass. [20:34] schestowitz[TR] cops are very often wife beaters [20:34] schestowitz[TR] on the beat, they are getting hit and hit people [20:34] schestowitz[TR] so they bring that hope too [20:34] schestowitz[TR] never mind the kids.. [20:34] schestowitz[TR] if you are "soft", you do not survive in this job [20:35] schestowitz[TR] DaemonFC: yes, I wish I knew more [20:35] mjg59_ Hey, I'm firmly on team ACAB [20:35] schestowitz[TR] I don't even know why some many cops came here [20:35] schestowitz[TR] like 40 of them [20:36] DaemonFC mjg59_, So you agree that when I read that report and it clearly showed that the cop was trying to invent rape charges where none existed, and then tried to get the person complaining about me who said "We had sex, but it was consensual." to say "rape", that ACAB. [20:36] DaemonFC Even that one? [20:36] DaemonFC Especially that one? [20:37] schestowitz[TR] swedish cops did this [20:37] schestowitz[TR] with FBI communicating with them [20:37] DaemonFC I wouldn't even wish that on you Matt. [20:37] schestowitz[TR] they did this to assange [20:37] schestowitz[TR] they look for people you slept with [20:37] schestowitz[TR] then bribe or blackmail them [20:37] schestowitz[TR] and they get false confessions [20:37] DaemonFC You know what the crazy thing is Matt? [20:37] schestowitz[TR] in sweden they do not torture yet, not directly anyway [20:37] DaemonFC I went to bed thinking everything was fine. [20:37] DaemonFC We hadn't had any arguments, any disagreements, nothing. [20:37] schestowitz[TR] they do cia "rendition flights" [20:38] DaemonFC Then I woke up with the door propped wide open. For some reason, my cat was still in the apartment and didn't bolt. [20:38] DaemonFC And I closed it and figured "well, he left me in the middle of the night". [20:38] DaemonFC "Worse things have happened. Oh well." [20:39] DaemonFC I later found out that his parents had disowned him (he was 19 and I was like 24, so before we even get into that mess.....) for being gay and moving in with me. [20:39] DaemonFC So he concocted a story where I was "abusive" so that they would let him move back in with them. [20:40] DaemonFC He was angry because they had told him he was "cut off" and they "aren't going to pay for your tuition anymore". [20:40] DaemonFC So next thing I know, he's down at the cop station pulling shit out of his ass to further that story. [20:40] DaemonFC And that's when THE COP suggested a false rape accusation. [20:41] schestowitz[TR] DaemonFC: and then you talk about sex dolls [20:41] schestowitz[TR] with a woman partner yoiu could deal with [20:41] schestowitz[TR] 1) pregnancy [20:41] DaemonFC Yeah, should've would've could've. [20:41] schestowitz[TR] 2) claim of pregnnacy [20:41] schestowitz[TR] 3) someone ele's fetus [20:41] schestowitz[TR] and more [20:41] schestowitz[TR] STDs etc. [20:41] schestowitz[TR] and police would be more attenstive [20:41] schestowitz[TR] they don't give a s* about gays [20:41] schestowitz[TR] they just hit "quotas" [20:42] DaemonFC Yeah, I realized that all they hit me with were some minor misdemeanors and I didn't even get convicted in the end. [20:42] DaemonFC They wanted rid of me from the start. [20:42] DaemonFC A woman goes in and complains, you have a domestic violence felony about 2.3 seconds later. [20:43] starstreak I learned the hard way that cops will side with a gay person over a trans person [20:43] DaemonFC I'm expunging my court record now. [20:43] DaemonFC I got my gun permit back from the state police. [20:43] DaemonFC They asked the prosecutor, prosecutor said "No objection.". [20:43] DaemonFC REALLY! [20:44] DaemonFC Last year I was a danger to the state and its people and a flight risk and you wanted my passport. [20:44] schestowitz[TR] SCOTUS <3 gunnnnzzz [20:44] DaemonFC This year, I get my gun permit back. "No comment!" [20:44] schestowitz[TR] DaemonFC: did you use your passport just for mexico? [20:45] DaemonFC I have a passport. I got one when Trump won the election. [20:45] DaemonFC Never used it. [20:45] schestowitz[TR] better pass port than pass away [20:46] schestowitz[TR] passport are an ancient and dumb system [20:46] schestowitz[TR] they are still easy to trick [20:46] schestowitz[TR] still a suisance [20:46] schestowitz[TR] expensive too [20:46] schestowitz[TR] and misused politically [20:46] schestowitz[TR] they're not "the best we have" [20:47] DaemonFC Yeah, they canceled Snowden's after he got to Russia to strand him there and embarrass and discredit him.

[21:00] schestowitz[TR] it's cold there [21:00] schestowitz[TR] and expensive [21:00] schestowitz[TR] prices soared there [21:00] DaemonFC You don't actually have to live there. [21:00] schestowitz[TR] because oligarchs stashed their cash there [21:00] schestowitz[TR] and bought "estate" [21:01] schestowitz[TR] iirc, sd is where house prices went up the most [21:01] schestowitz[TR] or maybe wyoming [21:01] schestowitz[TR] it became rich people's "retreat"\ [21:01] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], I'm considering moving us to downstate Illinois. [21:01] DaemonFC The rental market down there has nosedived. [21:01] schestowitz[TR] maybe for bad reasons [21:01] DaemonFC You can get an apartment the size of ours for about 40% less down there. [21:02] schestowitz[TR] but why? [21:02] DaemonFC Economy is not great. [21:02] DaemonFC It's Illinois. The Democrats have ruined it. [21:02] schestowitz[TR] if you don't work, it's OK [21:02] DaemonFC There's a Walmart down there. [21:02] schestowitz[TR] you can live in a place without living wages [21:02] schestowitz[TR] if you don't look for work [21:03] DaemonFC I make the same amount whether I live here or there. [21:03] DaemonFC From what I can gather, it's sort of like rural Indiana. [21:03] DaemonFC It's poor, but not violent. [21:03] DaemonFC Chicago is like Mad Max. [21:04] DaemonFC Mayor Beetlejuice is closing down the city to let NASCAR race through it while they're shooting everyone. [21:04] DaemonFC They ought to just have a race with all of the carjacked vehicles being chased by the cops like every other day. [21:06] DaemonFC Everything in this country is failing and the news is still questioning if we're in a recesssion or not. [21:06] DaemonFC Like, it's failing right in front of anyone with a set of eyes. [21:06] DaemonFC I was talking to mom about how dumb people are now. [21:08] DaemonFC She said she had a bunch of quarters weighing down her purse the other day, and she owed Starbucks $6.37, so she handed them two Dollar coins, 16 quarters, and 7 nickels and 2 pennies. [21:08] DaemonFC The guy couldn't count it. [21:08] DaemonFC First, he says "I don't know what these are." about the Dollar coins, which they still produce and still give you at the bank and as change in some vending machines. [21:09] DaemonFC "I'll have to ask my manager if we can take these." [21:09] DaemonFC Then he strugled to get that 16 quarters are the next four dollars. [21:09] DaemonFC Then he said out loud "I'd better be careful not to confuse the nickels with the quarters again.". [21:09] schestowitz[TR] chicago is dick treacy [21:10] DaemonFC By this time there's like cars wrapped around the building. [21:10] schestowitz[TR] tracy [21:10] DaemonFC And these folks want a labor union. [21:10] DaemonFC What's mjg59_'s opinion about that? [21:10] DaemonFC That's the majority of high school graduates these days. [21:10] DaemonFC Where someone like Mandy can come here and he's smarter than anyone he works with. [21:10] DaemonFC That's why our economy is failing. [21:10] DaemonFC That's why everything is failing. [21:11] DaemonFC Walmart can't keep anyone. Either they find them having an orgy in the bathroom or they find their Loss Prevention person stealing things. [21:11] DaemonFC If it's not that, they hire people and they either won't work or aren't smart enough to use a computer and grab things off a shelf. [21:13] DaemonFC The police want to make my life impossible. Fine. Well, fuck this country and fuck them. [21:14] DaemonFC So I don't feel like I owe this place anything, schestowitz[TR] [21:14] DaemonFC I really don't. [21:14] DaemonFC If some foreign government managed to invade the United States at this point, I'd try to flee into Canada or something. [21:14] DaemonFC I'd never do what people in Ukraine are doing. Pick up a rifle and try to drive them out. [21:15] DaemonFC I can't see how things would get much worse for most people in the US under an occupation, even by Russia, were that possible.

I'd like to know where it is. [21:27] DaemonFC Maybe I left it in my other pants. [21:27] mjg59_ US citizens have multiple options for residing outside the US [21:28] mjg59_ So are US citizens who have no passports more loyal than US citizens who do?

[21:28] DaemonFC I'd still owe the IRS, but I wouldn't be allowed to vote, and I'd be living somewhere they don't take care of because nobody can vote. [21:29] DaemonFC The United States pretty much fucked the Philippines. [21:29] DaemonFC But it was a long line. [21:29] DaemonFC The Japanese were treating them worse. [21:29] DaemonFC So isn't it relative? [21:29] mjg59_ If the claim is fundamentally about having exit options, then it's not merely giving up other citizenship that's important [21:30] mjg59_ So yeah, the argument about dual citizenship is logically incoherent [21:30] DaemonFC Most places don't like immigrants unless they have a boatload of cash, Matt. [21:30] DaemonFC The USCIS let that guy who did GirlsDoPorn buy citizenship in the US. [21:31] DaemonFC Then he proceeded to use it to do illegal sex trafficking, rape, and rape of several underage girls, before committing bankruptcy fraud, then having them find out about all the criminal shit, and giving up and fleeing to New Zealand. [21:31] mjg59_ If your claim is that any US citizen who has a mechanism to live somewhere outside the US is less loyal than one who doesn't, then that's a coherent argument [21:31] DaemonFC We think he's in New Zealand anyway. [21:31] DaemonFC They're harboring him. [21:32] DaemonFC But they don't bash people like that, they bash "brown" people who speak "foreign" languages. [21:32] mjg59_ But then it's not just about dual citizenship [21:32] DaemonFC So, you're saying they let you in easily, but that obviously doesn't mean much.

[21:36] DaemonFC Look at what they let in and look at what they do to the people who need our help. [21:36] DaemonFC It's all about who has money or not. [21:37] schestowitz[TR] it was funny when we went ti ireland just before covid and they stopped everyone at immigration, with mine he looked at the password and said "doctor..." then let us through fast, no more questions [21:37] DaemonFC Meanwhile, I'll have you know that I had to move Heaven and Earth. [21:37] DaemonFC That's the hill they make us climb down there. [21:37] schestowitz[TR] *passport [21:37] DaemonFC Doctor Who? [21:38] schestowitz[TR] 10 years ago there was a high-profile case in england about financial requirements [21:38] schestowitz[TR] for visas [21:38] schestowitz[TR] it was something like 188k a year for a dependent [21:38] schestowitz[TR] for a couple [21:38] schestowitz[TR] 18k [21:38] schestowitz[TR] and this was challenged all the way up [21:38] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], Yes, there are minimum income requirements here, schestowitz[TR] [21:38] schestowitz[TR] I think they were forced to remove this financial contrainet afer that, but just "officially" [21:38] DaemonFC But the more the better. [21:39] schestowitz[TR] they can still disseminate based on these bases/basis [21:39] schestowitz[TR] it was some arab name in the case's name [21:39] DaemonFC There are several ways you are allowed to calculate income for that form, and they lead you to use the one that usually results in the lowest figure. [21:39] *techuser has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [21:39] DaemonFC I ran the numbers all three ways and chose the highest. [21:39] DaemonFC Using the lowest figure results in more denials based on household income. [21:39] DaemonFC So if they can trick you into doing it that way, they can just say no right there before the interview. [21:40] schestowitz[TR] I haven't been keeping track, but maybe not a dependant need the "sponsor" to be at like 30k+ [21:40] schestowitz[TR] which means 9 to 5 demanding job [21:40] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], It's tricky. [21:40] schestowitz[TR] no introverts [21:40] DaemonFC You need to show a minimum of 150% of FPL for your household size but they can still say you're likely to need welfare later and deny it. [21:40] DaemonFC So there's rules and there's rules. [21:41] mjg59_ schestowitz[TR]: You're not a UK citizen? [21:41] DaemonFC And of course, leading the person to put down less income makes it easier for them to say "likely to become public charge". [21:41] DaemonFC So I didn't fall for that. [21:41] schestowitz[TR] ireland is not uk [21:41] schestowitz[TR] northern ireland is [21:41] mjg59_ Yes, I know [21:41] DaemonFC There's three things that help you when you're sponsoring your spouse and you don't have a lot of money. [21:41] schestowitz[TR] they still check passports [21:41] DaemonFC 1. Don't take any welfare even if you qualify for it. [21:41] mjg59_ But the UK and Ireland have a common travel area [21:42] DaemonFC 2. Use the calculation that results in the highest income you can put down on the form. [21:42] mjg59_ You don't need a passport to enter Ireland from the UK if you're a UK citizen [21:42] DaemonFC 3. Don't have any kids. [21:42] mjg59_ They may check it at security, but there's no immigration requirement [21:42] schestowitz[TR] they don't know peokple'e nationality [21:42] DaemonFC Kids don't produce income but they do mean you have to find more or else your form will be rejected! [21:42] schestowitz[TR] so they need passports [21:42] mjg59_ And if you present a UK passport, they can't refuse you entry [21:42] DaemonFC Kids hurt you worse than just being low income on the I-864. [21:42] schestowitz[TR] mjg59_: you forget the spouse [21:43] schestowitz[TR] she is applying next next [21:43] schestowitz[TR] anyway, back to tech now [21:43] DaemonFC Because each one adds like $14,000 you need to go find somewhere just to be level with the income requirements, even though the kids aren't working. [21:43] mjg59_ Because your passport said "Doctor" they let her in? [21:43] schestowitz[TR] *next month [21:43] schestowitz[TR] MinceR: they sped things up [21:43] schestowitz[TR] mjg59_: ^ [21:43] mjg59_ Also, where does your passport say "Doctor"? [21:43] schestowitz[TR] the name [21:43] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], That means if you are a straight couple that is married an applying for a Green Card and barely pass the income test...... [21:44] DaemonFC USE BIRTH CONTROL! Or get an abortion. [21:44] schestowitz[TR] anyway, now it boils down to personal things [21:44] DaemonFC Just do not have any kids before your initial meeting. [21:44] DaemonFC They're not allowed to speculate on if you might have kids later. [21:44] DaemonFC But if you already do, that adds a lot of money that you'll need to show them. [21:44] schestowitz[TR] I know people who foolishly upload passports and visas to FB [21:44] mjg59_ Oh right yes it's in the observations field [21:44] schestowitz[TR] that's how dumb some people are [21:44] mjg59_ Not on the actual information page [21:44] DaemonFC so mjg59_ asked if it's all about money for immigration and it is..... [21:45] DaemonFC If you get your wife pregnant before the Green Card interview, she'll need to get an abortion so they won't deny the green card. [21:45] DaemonFC Nice, huh? [21:46] DaemonFC Don't get pregnant until after the interview, preferably not until after the second interview, but certainly not until they've accepted the I-864 at the first one.

If you add one child, then you need a bare minimum of $28,787.50 and for two children it's a minimum of $34,687. But from what I was advised, they really want to see a minimum of 1.5 or better, 2.0, so yeah. [21:49] DaemonFC If you're just scraping, it pressures you to get an abortion if you accidentally get your spouse pregnant during the couple years it takes them to get around to calling you in. [21:50] DaemonFC Because you'll have an infant and it just adds to their financial demands of your household. Which is bizarre, really.

[23:23] DaemonFC And it lets bad people do things that are completely legal to further their evildoing. [23:23] DaemonFC Linus Torvalds, one of mjg59_'s favorites no doubt, said this before. [23:24] DaemonFC "Let's put it this way: If you need to ask a lawyer whether what you do is right or not, you are morally corrupt. Let's not go there. We don't base our morality on the law.". [23:26] DaemonFC Nobody gets out of this life with their dignity intact. It's just a matter of whether you throw away your dignity in some murky sense of the greater good, or to be a no good rotten scoundrel who hurts others, or simply to survive at all. [23:26] DaemonFC So the sooner you get rid of the delusion of moral superiority, the better. [23:27] DaemonFC But the people who wave their "moral superiority" dicks around are usually the most corrupt, when you make a closer inspection. [23:28] DaemonFC I've never asked a lawyer if what I was doing was right or not. I've asked them if what I planned to do about something was LEGAL or not before so that I wouldn't get myself into even more trouble than I was already in. [23:28] mjg59_ I've 100% lost track of what you're talking about, so yeah, not getting your point [23:29] DaemonFC I don't really care about the "right or wrong" debate of actions that lead to a desirable outcome. I do care greatly about the legality. [23:30] DaemonFC The legality and taking an enemy by surprise. Preferably I can do both at the same time, right? [23:30] DaemonFC Have done both at the same time. And it was so satisfying. [23:30] MinceR > Nobody gets out of this life with their dignity intact.

The State's Attorney found that out. [23:33] mjg59_ That's some fine stream of consciousness [23:34] DaemonFC And by forcing the consequences onto some other scumbags that the state normally likes to prop up at your expense.

I regret that I couldn't have turned things into an even bigger disaster for my enemies.

You can just get your bug out bag and bog off to Ireland. [23:39] DaemonFC Unless I'm mistaken. [23:39] mjg59_ Yes, as could a large number of people who aren't dual citizens [23:40] DaemonFC That's true. The illegal immigrants could run off.f [23:40] DaemonFC Who else?

[23:41] DaemonFC Financially. [23:41] mjg59_ Are all of these people less loyal than other US citizens? [23:42] DaemonFC I'm just saying. Having nowhere else to go kind of limits your options. [23:42] mjg59_ And I'm pointing out that this is not unique to dual citizens [23:42] DaemonFC Why do you think people cooperate with military drafts? [23:42] DaemonFC If we had one and they could somehow do it to you, I'm doubting you'd stay. [23:42] mjg59_ If I'm considered less loyal, why are these other people not? [23:42] DaemonFC You'd get out somehow. [23:43] mjg59_ Why do you keep refusing to answer the question? [23:44] DaemonFC I say it raises serious loyalty questions. [23:44] DaemonFC Some countries don't even allow dual citizenship. [23:44] mjg59_ For who? Dual citizens, or everyone who could move to Ireland? [23:44] DaemonFC I don't think we should. [23:45] DaemonFC Taking on another citizenship should be considered grounds for expulsion. [23:46] DaemonFC People who quit purely to fuck the IRS out of a lot of money usually get it worse than others. [23:46] DaemonFC They try to come back in and there are, errmmm.....paperwork issues. [23:46] mjg59_ Why do you distinguish between dual citizens and anyone else who could move to Ireland? [23:47] mjg59_ This seems like an easy question to answer [23:47] mjg59_ But you haven't [23:47] MinceR 23 003926 < DaemonFC> You're not stuck here if things go wrong. You can just get your bug out bag and bog off to Ireland. [23:47] DaemonFC I think that to accept US citizenship you should immediately show proof of renouncing others, or you should have your US citizenship stripped if you fail to accomplish that within 6 months. [23:47] MinceR usian citizens could still emigrate [23:47] mjg59_ DaemonFC: That's still not an answer to the question [23:48] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], As for the FOID raids, I'm sure some of them had it happen because of attention they brought to themselves on "social media" or something.

[23:50] *techuser has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [23:50] mjg59_ Yes, and so could a bunch of people who aren't dual citizens [23:50] DaemonFC But he could do that and then never hear from them again, most likely, assuming his other filings were accurate and they didn't audit him for the past three years. [23:51] DaemonFC There is no "exit tax". [23:51] DaemonFC What most people complain about is that the IRS does a tax audit on them after they leave. [23:52] DaemonFC But that can happen to anyone for years they have a tax filing with the IRS. [23:52] DaemonFC It doesn't mean it's an exit tax. [23:52] *psydruid has always wondered why Europeans want to move to the US and/or obtain US citizenship only for the IRS to come after them for all of their earnings whether they've already paid taxes in their country of residence or not [23:52] DaemonFC You're responsible for making sure what you're telling the IRS is correct. [23:53] DaemonFC If you get audited and you owe money, that's not an exit tax, that's the difference between what you should have paid those years and did not pay.
