[02:34]	IsambardPrince	I was in a lot of pain for many years and I went to therapy to try to work through some of it in the past two years.
[02:35]	IsambardPrince	I had a lot of anger and trouble letting go of it and some of that was directed at people who are not even alive anymore, like Brian.
[02:35]	IsambardPrince	I finally realized how pointless it is.
[02:35]	IsambardPrince	Now it's mostly physical pain.
[02:36]	IsambardPrince	I hope to get that addressed finally soon.
[02:36]	IsambardPrince	I didn't realize I was walking around with a broken shoulder for 16 years (at least).
[02:37]	IsambardPrince	I told the chiropractor that it didn't start obviously affecting my life until several years ago and even then it got worse.
[02:37]	IsambardPrince	So I need surgery and then to hope to God that it heals.
[02:38]	IsambardPrince	The graft could just die and then they'd have to open it up again and remove it.

[08:30]	IsambardPrince	Right. He can do two years in his house standing on his head.
[08:30]	IsambardPrince	They'll let him go to work if he finds a job.

[08:30]	IsambardPrince	It's unlikely.

[08:31]	IsambardPrince	I hope that he improved himself. He got lucky. But most don't see it that way.
[08:32]	IsambardPrince	Most say "I did a horrible thing and hardly anything happened."
[08:32]	IsambardPrince	They don't get more afraid of the law, they get less afraid.
[08:33]	IsambardPrince	They experienced it once and lived. It's like going through the same haunted house again.
[08:33]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR3], Some of the reason why improvement is unlikely is because times have gotten so hard.
[08:33]	IsambardPrince	It's hard to get a job even if you really want one.

[08:34]	IsambardPrince	People grew very resentful of "immigrants" because they saw Biden letting in millions of them that had no reason to be here, handing them work permits they weren't entitled to have, and then all of a sudden, Walmart isn't hiring anyone but those people.
[08:34]	IsambardPrince	So it's resulted in extremism.
[08:35]	IsambardPrince	Like some of those nutty politicians in Holland (I think it was?)
[08:35]	IsambardPrince	Not many people in the US are resentful of legal immigration, but legal immigrants suffer too when you hand things over to the Alt-Nazis.
[08:36]	IsambardPrince	So now you have folks like Stephen Miller in there.
[08:36]	IsambardPrince	And so they crack down on people with H1s and students, and people's spouses, and it's just wrong.
[08:36]	IsambardPrince	They've even discouraged international tourists from coming to the US.
[08:37]	IsambardPrince	They make you register on an "alien list" if you'll be here for over 30 days, and there's people from Canada and Germany, normal people, who got sent off to some ICE gulag and mistreated for weeks.
[08:37]	IsambardPrince	So tourism is collapsing.
[08:38]	IsambardPrince	One woman from Iran who is only 19 years old was on Reddit and she said they came and arrested her and she was in one of those ICE jails for a few weeks and then they released her and she went back to live with her husband.
[08:38]	IsambardPrince	But while she was in there, she said they made her see a "doctor" who started shoving things in her vagina.
[08:38]	IsambardPrince	And I was like "WTF".
[08:39]	IsambardPrince	Who know. But the fact that it's plausible with this bunch running the country is frightening.
[08:39]	IsambardPrince	There's a lot of really sick people who work for ICE, including the ones who "play doctor" by making teenage women bend over so they can shove things in their vagina.

[08:51]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR3], I don't think the system here is forgiving of crime so much that it is swamped.
[08:52]	IsambardPrince	They get away with light punishment because there's too many people who are even worse than them.
[08:52]	schestowitz[TR3]	i look at it like this
[08:52]	IsambardPrince	During COVID, so many misdemeanors piled up in Chicago that were not heard that the prosecutor dropped most of them in bulk.
[08:52]	schestowitz[TR3]	look back at 1950s
[08:52]	IsambardPrince	It was all they could do to work the felonies.
[08:52]	schestowitz[TR3]	with boomers and prior
[08:52]	schestowitz[TR3]	it seems like crime rates grew
[08:52]	schestowitz[TR3]	m,ore so when the economy sank
[08:53]	schestowitz[TR3]	bored and hopeless people
[08:53]	schestowitz[TR3]	it's not "immigrants"
[08:53]	IsambardPrince	Some of it is, but you're right.
[08:53]	schestowitz[TR3]	many were in the us for generations already
[08:53]	IsambardPrince	Very nearly all of it is US citizens.
[08:53]	schestowitz[TR3]	immigrants risk deportation for crimes
[08:53]	schestowitz[TR3]	theaverage immigrant
[08:53]	IsambardPrince	On the whole, immigrants are the least criminal bunch in the country.
[08:53]	schestowitz[TR3]	if they catch you
[08:53]	IsambardPrince	Most of them know that if they make a huge problem of themselves, they're outta here.
[08:53]	IsambardPrince	So the stakes are higher.
[08:54]	schestowitz[TR3]	you go on holiday in a cell
[08:54]	schestowitz[TR3]	wait, read

[08:56]	schestowitz[TR3]	i was about to add that caveat

[09:31]	schestowitz[TR3]	sometimes even less than that
[09:32]	IsambardPrince	We had tons of stuff in the 90s that was very expensive and not at all practical, or at least "yet".
[09:32]	IsambardPrince	Some of the early MP3 players and digital cameras were just horrible.
[09:32]	schestowitz[TR3]	so i just check irc//utalk, gemini sttories, rss, text files, and feed the fish
[09:32]	schestowitz[TR3]	that's my routine
[09:32]	IsambardPrince	Apple released a digital camera that was like, over a thousand bucks back then I think.
[09:32]	schestowitz[TR3]	anything else would be something to avoid
[09:32]	IsambardPrince	And it took worse pictures than a 35 mm camera with a roll of film.
[09:32]	IsambardPrince	So it's like, why would you even buy it?
[09:33]	schestowitz[TR3]	they made cameras?
[09:33]	IsambardPrince	But even as bad as it was, digital photography was clearly the future.
[09:33]	IsambardPrince	Yeah.
[09:33]	IsambardPrince	It just was not ready, yet.
[09:33]	schestowitz[TR3]	well, technically
[09:33]	IsambardPrince	There's so many bad things they make now that are not clearly "the future".
[09:33]	schestowitz[TR3]	they are similar things
[09:33]	schestowitz[TR3]	but different storage
[09:33]	schestowitz[TR3]	in the past it was chemistry
[09:33]	IsambardPrince	They're just a way to throw money in a pile and burn it.
[09:33]	schestowitz[TR3]	not it's development in memory storage
[09:34]	schestowitz[TR3]	so we don't need the chemical stuff
[09:34]	IsambardPrince	Yeah, I had a digital camera in 2003.
[09:34]	IsambardPrince	The technology finally got better than my 35 mm camera.
[09:34]	IsambardPrince	And the price dropped to where it was affordable, and it used USB.
[09:34]	schestowitz[TR3]	better as in faster
[09:34]	schestowitz[TR3]	and you get preview
[09:34]	schestowitz[TR3]	some old sony cameras also had that
[09:34]	schestowitz[TR3]	even if the photo was burn to paper
[09:34]	IsambardPrince	Right, you could throw out pictures that were awful.
[09:34]	IsambardPrince	You didn't waste film anymore.
[09:35]	schestowitz[TR3]	it's not a leap
[09:35]	schestowitz[TR3]	now we have tons of worthless photos
[09:35]	schestowitz[TR3]	where 1-2 was enough
[09:35]	IsambardPrince	The photo quality was better when you had them printed.
[09:35]	schestowitz[TR3]	i don't consider that a life-improving things
[09:35]	schestowitz[TR3]	it's just an adaptation
[09:35]	schestowitz[TR3]	it's a small step
[09:35]	schestowitz[TR3]	we already had films with chemicals
[09:35]	schestowitz[TR3]	and they did the key stuff
[09:36]	IsambardPrince	I took both cameras with me one day when I was hiking with my ex, in a state forest.
[09:36]	IsambardPrince	And I did both takes twice.
[09:36]	IsambardPrince	And printed them both out.

[09:39]	schestowitz[TR3]	in the early 90s
[09:39]	schestowitz[TR3]	they printed these on the spot
[09:39]	schestowitz[TR3]	i think later ones also made previews
[09:39]	schestowitz[TR3]	because you don't need to carry around "the scenne"
[09:39]	IsambardPrince	Yeah, the picture popped out and it started fading into existence.
