[01:09]	IsambardPrince	<@MinceR> schestowitz[TR2]: orbanistan also left the ICC
[01:09]	IsambardPrince	<@MinceR> orban didn't like having to arrest netan-yahoo! for his crimes
[01:09]	IsambardPrince	Isn't Hungary subject to the EU ratification of the Rome Treaty as a separate issue?
[01:12]	IsambardPrince	Or is this another case where the Gypsy King is openly flaunting his disobeying the EU as well.
[01:12]	IsambardPrince	While trying to take all the benefits.
[01:17]	MinceR	\_()_/
[01:17]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I dropped my eyeglasses, my new ones, and scratched them.
[01:17]	MinceR	well, he can afford to
[01:17]	IsambardPrince	American Express paid me to have them fixed.
[01:17]	MinceR	it's not like the EU is doing anything serious to enforce its own rules
[01:17]	IsambardPrince	So I have to go get the lens replaced on Thursday.
[01:17]	IsambardPrince	:(
[01:17]	MinceR	lol
[01:18]	IsambardPrince	Hey, nice benefit though. Purchase Protection.
[01:18]	IsambardPrince	It's like, if you buy a new TV with a debit card and drop it when you're trying to mount it, and the screen cracks, you just ate the whole cost of the TV.
[01:18]	IsambardPrince	With a lot of credit cards, you file a Purchase Protection claim and say I'm the big dummy who dropped a TV.
[01:19]	IsambardPrince	And then they basically would decide if they just pay it or pay it and have you ship the broken TV to them at their expense.
[01:19]	IsambardPrince	They want your spending to be on that card.
[01:20]	IsambardPrince	So the occasional claim on these benefits is worth it to them.
[01:20]	IsambardPrince	They've been pretty good to us.

[01:21]	TR Bot	 New COVID variant NB.1.8.1 behind surge in China, now detected in U.S. - CBS News
[01:21]	IsambardPrince	They admit to the part about trying to keep up with the virus mutations is basically impossible.
[01:21]	IsambardPrince	They're always 2-3 major mutations behind even if the shots did work (they don't).
[01:21]	IsambardPrince	But even if they did, you wouldn't get a match to what's out there now.
[01:23]	IsambardPrince	Even with a 90 day lead in to a new variant, they can't keep up. You have to go to production, get it in the pharmacy, get it past the FDA so it can go to the pharmacy. Convince people like me who got no protection from the first four shots to go get another one.
[01:23]	IsambardPrince	Even though the "emergency" is "over" and nobody is paying for the shots now.
[01:24]	IsambardPrince	So you have to go get that thing that didn't work after the first four, pay $200 for it, and be with something that they stipulate to the fact of being three major COVID variants behind on.
[01:25]	IsambardPrince	Today I lost my voice, woke up wrapped in blankets with my teeth chattering (had to wear a mouth guard to bed), and immediately got a charlie horse in my right leg and fell over and hit the wall and couldn't scream.
[01:25]	IsambardPrince	But eventually I made it to the ibuprofen and coffee.
[01:28]	MinceR	with most bare apes not giving a fuck about whom they spread all their germs to, it's a foregone conclusion anyway
[01:30]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I had to go out today but I used a respirator mask and hand sanitizer everywhere I went to try to avoid giving this to others.
[01:30]	IsambardPrince	Nobody else does but I'm trying not to hurt anyone else.

[03:10]	IsambardPrince	zYou shouldn't have to get a COVID shot to get a flu shot.
[03:10]	IsambardPrince	I hope the FDA also blocks new mRNA "vaccines" that the company admits have more side effects for no reason, and will cost more unnecessarily, like their mRNA flu shot candidate.
[03:15]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], I posted: "I actually have COVID right now and it was about ten times worse when I got 4 shots, and had COVID in 2022, 6 weeks after the bivalent booster. I haven't had any more shots since then.
[03:15]	IsambardPrince	My family doctor told me not to take the Paxlovid I got at the walk-in clinic. She said she's seen tons of cases where you take the stuff and then as soon as you're out of pills, the COVID comes raging back with a vengeance and it actually just goes on longer.
[03:15]	IsambardPrince	You know it's bad when the doctor closes the door, turns off the computer, and gives it to you straight. What they all know and wouldn't dare say until lately."
[03:18]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], The COVID fascism is pretty much over.
[03:18]	IsambardPrince	If you dared say anything close to the truth when Biden was around, there's be investigations into your medical license.
[03:19]	IsambardPrince	Plus my doctor is in another state now so she might feel a little more like giving me the facts.
[03:19]	MinceR	hooray for real fascism!
[03:28]	IsambardPrince	Paxlovid is a bad drug even if it does work (my doctor says she sees that it usually makes people feel better, then they get the rest of the COVID anyway when they're out of meds), because they give it to people and say 75% of Americans have a serious medical condition that makes COVID more dangerous.
[03:28]	IsambardPrince	By the way, all the drugs that you take for those conditions interact with Paxlovid and could kill you! 
[03:28]	IsambardPrince	Here's the ones we know about. Might not be all of them. BTW, this is $1800, toodles
[03:33]	MinceR	seems to me nuking beijing in time could have prevented all of this
[03:33]	MinceR	considering that the communist bugmen did their damndest to prevent any investigation of the origin of the strain
[03:34]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Paxlovid makes your blood pressure medicine stop working as well.
[03:34]	MinceR	great
[03:35]	IsambardPrince	It makes anti-epileptic drugs stop working well.
[03:35]	IsambardPrince	It causes antipsychotics to remain concentrated in your bloodstream so it's like you took twice as much.
[03:35]	IsambardPrince	It effectively doubles whatever dose of statin (cholesterol) drugs you're on.
[03:36]	IsambardPrince	It interacts with acyclovir and valazyclovir, so you have to stop taking those, which means you'll be more likely to get COVID with a Shingles chaser.

[04:11]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I'm going to watch The Last Temptation of Christ later.
[04:11]	IsambardPrince	Willem Dafoe, Harvey Keitel.
[04:11]	IsambardPrince	The Irish Film Censors banned it.
[04:12]	IsambardPrince	The Catholic Church blew up a movie theater and hurt people for trying to watch it.
[04:12]	MinceR	:>
[04:17]	IsambardPrince	Harvey Keitel is probably not the Catholic Church's favorite actor.
[04:17]	IsambardPrince	Other than this, he was also in Bad Lieutenant.
[04:17]	IsambardPrince	Also banned in Ireland.
[04:17]	IsambardPrince	Although oddly not for the rape of a nun.
[04:18]	IsambardPrince	They say it was for the scene where he finds two teenage girls in their car and flashes his police badge and forces them to watch him masturbate and cum, while he asked repeatedly "You ever suck a guy's cock?"
[04:18]	IsambardPrince	Blockbuster Video in the US forced them to remove this scene, so if you find a VHS copy without this scene, it was a Blockbuster rental.
[04:19]	IsambardPrince	Keitel plays a dirty cop that's racking up a bunch of gambling debt. He has a bad drug problem.
[04:20]	IsambardPrince	I think in the end he finds the guys that raped the nun, but instead of arresting them, he puts them on a bus out of New York because the nun forgave them and doesn't want to cooperate with the police.
[04:20]	IsambardPrince	Then the mob finds him and kills him over the gambling debt.
[04:21]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, There's a lot of dirty cops.
[04:21]	IsambardPrince	They only "find" the ones that piss off the other cops.
[04:21]	IsambardPrince	Then they rat them out to get rid of them.
[04:22]	MinceR	ACAB
[04:23]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Lots more pedos that are getting busted in the news lately.
[04:23]	IsambardPrince	Maybe it's because Windows Recap is screenshotting it and turning them over to the police. :)
[04:23]	IsambardPrince	I noticed a big uptick about a month ago.
[04:24]	IsambardPrince	With OCR, they'll get much better at solving other crimes too.
[04:24]	IsambardPrince	Like white collar stuff.
[04:24]	IsambardPrince	As soon as you store the evidence on a Windows computer and open it, Recap will screenshot it and feed it to a data center to be analyzed by an LLM.
[04:24]	IsambardPrince	Then it's off to the district attorney.
[04:25]	IsambardPrince	That's in addition to affecting innocent users too.
[04:25]	MinceR	lol
[04:25]	IsambardPrince	Selling their data to advertisers.
[04:25]	IsambardPrince	Spilling it out to ransomware that copies the trove.
[04:26]	MinceR	i wonder what the idiots who force corporations to use MICROS~1 crap for everything will think of this
[04:26]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Well, if the SEC is still operating, things could get interesting faster than you can say Sarbanes-Oxley.

[04:29]	IsambardPrince	During a meeting with the auditors, corporate finance director Sanjeev Sethi explained that differing amounts in two capital spending expenditures were related to "prepaid capacity," something Cooper had never heard of. When pressed for an explanation, Sethi claimed that he did not know what the term meant, despite his division approving capital spending requests. 
[04:29]	IsambardPrince	---
[04:29]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, And there's the Indian guy.
[04:29]	IsambardPrince	There's always an Indian guy at some point who doesn't actually know what any of his words mean.

[04:30]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, "We'll be making Operational Improvements." -My landlord
[04:31]	IsambardPrince	3 years later, after the plumbing has repeatedly gone out, the parking lot sank some more, and nobody has mopped the floor for 3 years...
[04:31]	IsambardPrince	He almost got our water shut off.
[04:31]	IsambardPrince	There was a red tag and the only reason the city didn't get the meter that time was because miraculously nobody left the door unlocked.
[04:32]	IsambardPrince	The city can't break a locked door to get the meter.
[04:32]	IsambardPrince	They just add $100 late fee to the bill every week on top of the water being used.
[04:32]	IsambardPrince	The local hospital has been told not to let anyone from the water company take the meter.
[04:33]	IsambardPrince	There's also an Indian guy who runs the hospital that's not paying the bills.
[04:33]	IsambardPrince	Free water, until it's not.
[04:33]	IsambardPrince	Operational Improvements.
[04:33]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, They've also not paid their electric bill in two years.
[04:34]	IsambardPrince	The State has stopped them from shutting off the power because there's people in the hospital who would die, and we wouldn't have a hospital.
[04:34]	IsambardPrince	So free powe.r
[04:34]	IsambardPrince	*ppower
[04:35]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I need to free up some money for my health insurance premiums after the State raised them.
[04:35]	IsambardPrince	Maybe I'll just re-incorporate as a hospital and stop paying the power company.

[05:43]	IsambardPrince	But he said walking into Walgreens to get a COVID shot and just telling them you have a condition won't work.
[05:44]	IsambardPrince	I posted: "It actually does because they don't care and nobody checks.
[05:44]	IsambardPrince	I walked right into Walgreens as soon as they could get any COVID shots in back in 2020 and 2021, and Illinois was sending them to rural areas where people were at lower risk instead of the cities where people come into close contact (have you seen the Blue Line?) so the only pharmacies that had any were getting them from the State and offering them to rural people who didn't even want them, because this is how something happens 
[05:44]	IsambardPrince	when the government is telling private industry how to function.
[05:44]	IsambardPrince	Anyway, the Governor said "65 and over and anyone with a high risk condition" so I said "I have a high risk condition and so does he." and pointed at my spouse.
[05:44]	IsambardPrince	Of course 4 shots in, we both got COVID anyway and it was far worse than the second time, which was over 2.5 years since a COVID shot. (Right now, actually.)
[05:44]	IsambardPrince	6 weeks after the fourth shot, I got COVID and ended up doubled over on the couch writhing in pain for 6 weeks because it even turned into Long COVID and Shingles to follow that.
[05:44]	IsambardPrince	I was such a mess that I said "Well, what good did all the shots do?" and this time it's just been a minor sore throat and occasional cough or nose drip, nothing like last time at all. I haven't even taken any medicine because they gave me Paxlovid at the walk-in then my doctor called and said don't take it. It usually causes more problems than if you don't take it.
[05:44]	IsambardPrince	The prescribing literature for Paxlovid is pretty funny. It says 75% of Americans have an underlying condition that puts them at risk of severe COVID. Thus they might need Paxlovid, and then Paxlovid itself interacts with almost every drug (because of the Ritonovir).
[05:44]	IsambardPrince	I'm on 5 other prescription drugs, it interacts with 4 of them, and at least one of the interactions can kill you.
[05:44]	IsambardPrince	This stuff is junk. It's been a huge money maker for Pfizer and Moderna, but the free ride is over. Now they have to prove that it works and they probably won't be able to.
[05:44]	IsambardPrince	My doctor said frequently the Paxlovid delays the inevitable because it suppresses the virus and makes you feel better, then you run out and it starts proliferating again and you just get to go through everything you were in for then."
[05:44]	TR News	"Talking to people is fun. Loud music and drunk people aren't fun, meanwhile. I dipped out of my company's anniversary party early because of that.

[05:48]	IsambardPrince	It should be interesting when Pfizer and Moderna have to put up or shut up and the amount of fraud will be revealed.
[05:49]	IsambardPrince	Billions and billions of dollars went out for these damned shots, which don't do much except put you in even more total risk, and drugs, which are highly toxic.
[05:51]	IsambardPrince	Moderna today withdrew its application for the combo COVID-Flu shot. There won't be a market for it and it won't be approved.
[05:51]	IsambardPrince	Hopefully the FDA never approves another shot based on the mRNA platform.
[05:51]	IsambardPrince	Moderna themselves said their mRNA flu shot was not more effective, but the side effects were far worse. It would also be more expensive
[05:53]	IsambardPrince	"So why would you try to do an mRNA flu shot if the company itself admits it doesn't work better but you're in for a rough ride if you get it, and that's the ideal outcome because it's what the company selling it said?
[05:53]	IsambardPrince	Well, patents.
[05:53]	IsambardPrince	A traditional flu shot bills Medicare $29.
[05:53]	IsambardPrince	A recombinant flu shot bills Medicare $88.67. (I know, I got one last year.)
[05:53]	IsambardPrince	There's no telling how much profit there would have been for an mRNA shot, but at least 3x, probably more.
[05:53]	IsambardPrince	Making Medicare collapse sooner."
[05:56]	IsambardPrince	"Moderna wanted the mRNA flu shot because as soon as the FDA approved it, Medicare would have to pay for it, no matter what it cost. Also, under Biden's law where health insurance has to cover all vaccines with no co-pay.
[05:56]	IsambardPrince	Well, long story short, Moderna could have burrowed into the healthcare system, made it cost more for no reason, and caused Medicare to go broke.
[05:56]	IsambardPrince	It is not on solid fiscal footing now, but the mRNA flu shot might speed up the Trust Fund depletion by a month or two."
