[00:02]	IsambardPrince	nobody, There's no longer a requirement to get the COVID shots for USCIS benefits.
[00:23]	IsambardPrince	nobody, Probably they had no choice.
[00:24]	IsambardPrince	I'm sure that in that barrage of executive orders was something that got rid of residual mandates for COVID shots.
[00:24]	IsambardPrince	$200 injections of failed experiment 4 times a year.
[00:24]	IsambardPrince	Waymo to the hospital.
[00:24]	IsambardPrince	"I'm fine."

[01:31]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, The Failed Experiment will probably get less than 16% of people getting a shot every few months now.
[01:31]	IsambardPrince	Now that the "pandemic emergency" is over with, people without health insurance have to pay $200 for a COVID shot.

[02:08]	IsambardPrince	It looks like there's going to be a four way race for mayor.
[02:08]	IsambardPrince	Including a Republican who hates loud mufflers and yells at clouds.
[02:08]	IsambardPrince	A weird guy who posted a dead arm that washed up on the beach on Facebook.
[02:08]	IsambardPrince	And possibly the previous mayor who groped women and is an ICE collaborator.
[02:08]	IsambardPrince	And of course the current mayor who just pissed everyone off by knocking over a concrete water tower blanketing our homes and cars with cement dust.
[02:08]	admfubar	as opposed to a live arm?
[02:09]	IsambardPrince	Someone raped her and killed her, possibly in that order anyway.
[02:09]		*agentcasey_ has quit (connection closed)
[02:09]	IsambardPrince	Then they dismembered her and threw her in the lake.
[02:09]	IsambardPrince	A jogger found the arm and one of the city councilmen posted a photo of it on his Facebook.

[02:36]	IsambardPrince	Mom is always talking about "carnivore diets" and how they would allegedly cure everything including my bipolar disorder, and the heterotopic ossification of my right shoulder.
[02:36]	IsambardPrince	Really, this guy got an LDL of over 1,000.
[02:37]	IsambardPrince	Which means if he doesn't stop, he'll have a heart attack soon.
[02:38]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, It would be best if the States started putting 1/6 defendants on watch lists.
[02:38]	IsambardPrince	You know start fucking with them every time they do something.

[02:40]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, At least the US can properly build a border wall I guess.
[02:40]	MinceR	doesn't help if they can't guard it
[02:41]	IsambardPrince	Orbanistan doesn't have the money to build a 40 foot tall steel and concrete fence with anti-climb features.
[02:41]	IsambardPrince	And put like, guards and "the most vicious dogs" on it.
[02:41]	MinceR	an unguarded fence made of rust beams is only marginally more effective than an unguarded fence made of chicken wire
[02:41]	IsambardPrince	Texas managed to do like 40 miles of fence that's very close to the existing federal fence standards.
[02:41]	IsambardPrince	It took donations from the public but some was appropriated.
[02:42]	IsambardPrince	It's in the desert. It doesn't rust.
[02:42]	MinceR	looked pretty brown to me
[02:42]	IsambardPrince	You mean the stuff that was put in back in the 1970s?

[02:44]	IsambardPrince	Parts of it will still be there in areas where there's not high levels of illegal crossings.
[02:44]	IsambardPrince	They're prioritizing the really good stuff for areas where there's tons of illegal crossings.
[02:45]	IsambardPrince	They also have drones.
[02:45]	MinceR	but if it's in the "desert where it doesn't rust", how come these are rusted?
[02:45]	MinceR	"i have a drone. it is a drone deeply rooted in the american drone."

[07:18]	IsambardPrince	Maybe he feels that way about Musk.
[07:19]	IsambardPrince	He's a deeply transactional person.
[07:19]	IsambardPrince	He's capable of seeing people in two ways. "What can I get out of them?" and "You wronged me and you're gonna pay for that."
[07:20]	IsambardPrince	That's all that seems to motivate him is self gain and revenge.
[07:20]	IsambardPrince	He isn't deep.
[07:21]	IsambardPrince	If anything is going to take real effort he hands it off to someone else and goes and eats a fast food pizza. That's what's going on with Immigration.
[07:21]	IsambardPrince	He's found one of the nastiest and most horrible people in America, Tom Homan, who is unfortunately very good at what he does.
[07:23]	IsambardPrince	ICE is an out of control federal agency that is jam packed full of Nazis. It draws these people in because the nature of the work appeals to white supremacists.

[07:44]	IsambardPrince	The federal hiring freeze affects USCIS. It does not affect ICE.

[07:45]	TR News	"Indeed there's something rather odd about Western society, perhaps rooted in Christianity, that our most heroic members are frequently the "lowest". Take firefighters, nurses, teachers and civil servants. People who make society actually function are amongst the worst paid and treated."
[07:45]	TR News	"A true exemplar of Digital Freedom Fighters is surely Dr. Richard Stallman, a slightly overweight old man. suffering cancer, social anxiety and having some offensive personal traits. He travels around on budget airlines and overnight Greyhound buses, staying in cheap hotel rooms or on the floor of kindly supporters. His supporters love him." https://cybershow.uk/blog/posts/freedom/
[07:45]	TR Bot	 Freedom Fighters (Part I)
[07:45]	TR News	"A Harvard graduate and highly respected programmer at MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, while the likes of Altman, Zuckerberg and Musk were still struggling through school, Stallman could have named any prize in technology he wanted. But he chose a different path. Richard Stallman chose to stand for the rights of people to use technology as they wish. He chose freedom instead of riches."
[07:46]	TR News	"On the Cybershow we talk about computer security and digital freedoms. The two are intimately entwined. There is no security without freedom and no freedom without security. We cannot bank them. Freedom, security and democracy are what we keep fighting for, through constant effort, awareness, and understanding. Our perennial resistance to subjection is about stopping the fruits of science and technology ending up as means for harm."
[07:46]	IsambardPrince	By the time we may get a President that cares again, the damage will be done. USCIS will be operating so cheaply that Congress will never approve a budget for bringing people back and training them.
[07:46]	TR News	"Unchecked by vigilant minds, technology tends toward tyranny (try saying that after licking a 9 volt battery). So who keeps things on course? I've been planning to write about some of the people, processes and organisations that work tirelessly to stop the gadgets that make our lives easy from becoming chains.

[17:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	"I'm a little the worse for wear still. I don't like to be too specific, but I'm not dying. I am OK. But I've cut back some, to keep from wearing out. I hadn't taken more than two days off in 4+ years, and that was just too much. Who knew when we started that SCO would take so long to sink? And there was a lot of stress.
[17:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	I certainly would take a break again if I needed to. But so far, so good. The adjustments I've made seem to be doing the trick. As long as I pace myself, it seems to be working out. Thank you for asking and for caring. "
[17:54]	TR Bot	 10 questions: Pamela Jones
[17:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	" I'm just a person. Just like you. Not a superhero. Just a person. If you met me, I assure you you'd be disappointed.
[17:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	I don't know how any of those guys stand it, being public figures, and I definitely don't want to live that way. "
[17:55]	schestowitz[TR2]	" I know that I could lose trust by stupid moves. So I'm alert and trying hard. Sometimes I think about things like that at 2 AM and I get up and check something to make sure I didn't goof. "
[17:55]	schestowitz[TR2]	" As for trolls and deliberate meanness, people trying to undermine Groklaw's reputation, at first it bothered me more than it does now. I had to develop a thicker skin or stop doing Groklaw, so I developed a thicker skin. When it first started, in late 2004, and it seemed like a deliberate smear campaign, I thought, "What kind of people are these? Why are they willing to behave so abominably, be so dishonest, deliberately try to 
[17:55]	schestowitz[TR2]	ruin my good name?" I had never known anyone like that before in my life, and it actually kept me awake nights. Like going to a horror movie. You can't sleep for weeks. Then I stopped thinking about it. It is what it is, I decided. Maybe I never met such people before, but they were on the same planet as I was the whole time. Then I relaxed a bit. But the thought was, how far will people like this go? I can't imagine doing what th
[17:55]	schestowitz[TR2]	ey do for money. Is that not a pitiful life choice? But where is *their* line? They go way over mine already, so I thought about that quite a bit. "
[17:56]	schestowitz[TR2]	" For about a year, I thought they would in fact succeed in destroying my reputation. The attacks were daily, all over the Internet. But I just kept on doing Groklaw, because I knew the research was good, solid, and worth putting out there. Here's what happened. The FOSS community is made up of brainiacs. That is our greatest strength as a geek community. The things that get you teased in school as kids turn out to be very useful 
[17:56]	schestowitz[TR2]	as adults. People simply understood that it was an antiGroklaw FUD campaign. And they figured out who might be behind it. I didn't have to say or do much at all. Ironically, it ended up just making Groklaw more well-known. Funny. "
[17:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	"It helps to have a sense of humor, speaking of funny. When I wrote once that there is no Santa Claus, a small side point in a long and very serious article about something else, trolls made a big issue about it -- it was one of our most commented articles -- and it made me laugh so hard reading their comments about how there is too a Santa Claus and how awful I was to write that there wasn't, it cured me of caring about what they
[17:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	 said from that day on. I got it that day. They just picked on something in every article to criticize. Every single article. Anything. Santa Claus, anything."

[20:46]	IsambardPrince	Yes, they immediately did books, movies, I mean it was the cult of RBG and her real legacy is Amy Coney Barrett and the Dobbs v.Jackson case.
[20:46]	IsambardPrince	God damn her for not having the decency to retire or go to Senior Status after that 2013 lunch with Obama.
[20:46]	IsambardPrince	She could have been a Senior judge floating around on any lower federal court, still writing decisions until the day she died. But she just kept pushing it until she died with months left on Trump's term, where the "precedent" the Republicans demanded of not poaching a seat at the eleventh hour just totally disappeared and they stole her seat.
[20:46]	IsambardPrince	The Democrats know what they're doing. The Republicans lie, they set standards that don't apply to themselves, they will cheat you and back out of any deal they agree to or say there should be.
[20:46]	IsambardPrince	This total capitulation with the Laken Riley Act is a disgrace. The Dems signed onto it in exchange for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. No protection for DREAMers, no path to citizenship or green cards for anyone who might deserve them. Nothing. They just became the Also Republican Party in the week after Biden left."
[20:47]	IsambardPrince	"Even Dick Durban of Illinois who has gone on and on about DREAMers for over 30 years voted to proceed on the Laken Riley bill then only backed out at the last minute as it was passing so he could come back to Illinoisans and say he fought it. He didn't fight voting to proceed to debate. He voted to end debate."

[20:48]	IsambardPrince	That's what the Republicans call him.

[21:04]	IsambardPrince	Something happened...
[21:04]	IsambardPrince	My Chromebook started chugging.
[21:05]	IsambardPrince	Well, congrats Google, you re-created Windows 10 and based it on Linux.

[21:09]	IsambardPrince	"He said his name as "Sean Evans" and that he was with ICE. He asked me if I had signed a AR-11 form, which I have no reasons to do. I am an international student and haven't changed my address. He said he had a case lodged, and literally threated me that he would send cops to my house to arrest me now. This must be scam right? The number was from (202) - 732 - 5001 from Washington D.C."
[21:09]	IsambardPrince	I replied:
[21:09]	IsambardPrince	"It's a scam. I'm guessing that Mr. Sean Evans sounded Indian and there were a lot of other Indians also being Sean Evans in the background?

[21:12]	IsambardPrince	"In all seriousness. USCIS never ever calls anyone and threatens them and gets mad and angry over the phone, and that's not how ICE or other government agencies in the US operate either. If ANYONE yells and screams and threatens you over the phone, hang up. They don't call, scream, threaten, and demand money (which is where it's heading with the scammer)."

[21:16]	IsambardPrince	You should read the response from the DOJ attorney, when the judge asked him, 'If the government actually believe this EO was constitutional' and the DOJ attorney said, 'absolutely'.
[21:16]	IsambardPrince	Yeah it's going to be a long 4 years, assuming we actually ever have another presidential election.

[21:28]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Someone said "You keep mentioning Trump violates the Subreddit rules. Please stop making this a political thing and keep it USCIS related."
[21:28]	IsambardPrince	I replied,
[21:28]	IsambardPrince	"Okay karen, go back to reporting people to the HOA for incorrect font on house numbers and painting things battleship gray instead of ocean gray."
[21:31]	nobody	the humor of these jokes escape my intellect
[21:41]	IsambardPrince	A Karen is a busybody that looks for people to complain to.
[21:41]	IsambardPrince	It may be the manager, a Homeowners Association, or the police.
[21:42]	IsambardPrince	An HOA issues regulations about everyone who lives in the covered area, and when they sell their house, the HOA is included in the deed, which means that you inherit a gypsy curse.
[21:43]	IsambardPrince	The Karens of the community will find literally anything you are doing "wrong" no matter how irrelevant, and complain to the HOA so that they will fine you.
[21:43]	IsambardPrince	If you don't pay the fines, they turn you over to the collection agency and ruin your credit.
[21:43]	IsambardPrince	Usually the fines are for things like "removing the empty garbage cans when you get home from work at 4 when they were supposed to be behind your house at 2".
[21:43]	IsambardPrince	:D
[21:44]	IsambardPrince	Or "Displaying a Marine Corps flag, which is not permitted, on a flagpole, which is 2 inches above the regulation size."
[21:45]	IsambardPrince	"Letting the lawn grow 10 mm above regulation height as measured by a laser that the karen keeps for just such occurances."
[21:45]	IsambardPrince	It's a tough job, but someone has to do it.
[21:45]	IsambardPrince	Or there will be anarchy!
[21:45]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, ^
[21:46]	IsambardPrince	So the Karen finds people she doesn't like and brings all the complaints to the HOA.
[21:46]	IsambardPrince	She would never admit that she's going after the blacks and gays and Jews to try to get them out of the neighborhood.
[21:46]	IsambardPrince	But that always seems to be what it is.
[21:46]	IsambardPrince	Sometimes she goes after an Army vet just because she can.

[21:50]	IsambardPrince	Illinois Law says you can file an at-fault divorce case due to your spouse not having sex with you.
[21:51]	IsambardPrince	But nobody does it because it's so expensive to make that accusation that it's not worth it.
[21:51]	nobody	conservative live on tv: "anyone who doesn't work has to leave the country"... if it's not paid it's not work and not useful
[21:52]	IsambardPrince	The Republicans will probably create full employment, at least on paper.
[21:52]	IsambardPrince	Like the government of Oceania did with boot production.
[21:52]	nobody	any dissident slumped into the cohorte corrupt party politics and their bureaucracy do not appreciate
[21:52]	IsambardPrince	Maybe the goal was 166 million pairs of boots.
[21:52]	IsambardPrince	Then they only made 55 million.
[21:52]	MinceR	will that "conservative" leave the country, then?
[21:52]	IsambardPrince	So the goal is revised to 47 million, so there's an overproduction.
[21:52]	IsambardPrince	Maybe half the country is walking around barefoot.
[21:52]	IsambardPrince	Who knows?
[21:52]	IsambardPrince	:D
[21:53]	IsambardPrince	That's how Trump managed the Labor Statistics in 2020 to hide the mass unemployment.
[21:54]	nobody	funnily this conservative is well connected into the GOP accross the ocean, with affiliates such as former ambassador Grenell
[21:54]	MinceR	that's neither funny nor surprising

[21:55]	nobody	openly gay, although that's not relevant to the topic
[21:55]	MinceR	now that's surprising

[22:24]	nobody	in germany, our politicians decided instead, to shut down nuclear power, since "cheap russian gas" fueled economy instead

[23:09]	IsambardPrince	There was a guy that ran into McDonalds screaming at someone on his phone that he was hiding from the police in the McDonalds and had a warrant out on him and "Tell that motherfucker I got something for his ass."
[23:09]	IsambardPrince	So I called the police after I left and told them all of that.
[23:10]	IsambardPrince	Sounded like a shooting was about to happen and if you're hiding from the cops it helps not to scream that so loud an entire restaurant can hear it.
