[03:27] schestowitz[TR] took a big house ona mortgage [03:27] DaemonFC It was likely not flattering. [03:27] schestowitz[TR] went on holidays abroad with the girls [03:27] schestowitz[TR] drove a massive car [03:27] schestowitz[TR] sent the girls to super-eexpensive school [03:28] schestowitz[TR] that houses politicians' kids [03:28] schestowitz[TR] but debttttttt was piling up in his business [03:28] schestowitz[TR] he had to pretent all was ok [03:28] schestowitz[TR] of course i was peeking at official government papers [03:28] schestowitz[TR] unsudited financial filing [03:28] schestowitz[TR] *unaudited [03:28] schestowitz[TR] due to small business size [03:28] schestowitz[TR] they give thoose exemptions [03:29] schestowitz[TR] and it was getting worse every year [03:29] schestowitz[TR] he hoped for miracle or turnaround [03:29] t0talist DaemonFC: aren't there any legal regulations? even when buildings are sold/renewed, or when the owner changes, they can't just do what they want [03:29] schestowitz[TR] later he escaped the country [03:29] schestowitz[TR] t0talist: not at first [03:29] schestowitz[TR] it's time-limited [03:29] schestowitz[TR] but if they tell you, [03:29] DaemonFC They have to honor the existing lease. [03:29] schestowitz[TR] we renovote this thing in 12 months and will double the rent [03:30] schestowitz[TR] you might leave because [03:30] schestowitz[TR] 1) the price [03:30] schestowitz[TR] 2) for 6 months you cannot live there (rennovations) [03:30] DaemonFC I don't think anyone can get away with renovating this place. [03:30] t0talist schestowitz[TR]: but then they do have to renovate, and too sanitizing is distinguished from modernization, only with the latter they can increase the rent [03:30] DaemonFC I just don't see it happening. [03:30] schestowitz[TR] not worth it [03:30] schestowitz[TR] if, as you say, the surroundings are dodgy [03:30] t0talist and modernization, is expensive [03:31] schestowitz[TR] and a good-looking place would attract theives/vandals [03:31] t0talist the only way a private owned real-estate can evice some tenant, if the owner announces the housing is required by themselves [03:31] schestowitz[TR] there are advantagess to living in a plac that looks bad from the outside [03:31] t0talist *evict [03:31] schestowitz[TR] yeah [03:32] t0talist could be different in USA [03:33] t0talist and well, here they tried to cheat on energy billing... which is related to "modernization", because badly sealed housings with inefficient heating is subject to legal requirements, to modernize with increased rents [03:33] t0talist that's too why i lowered heating, to effectively nothing, because with zero energy consumption, they can't argue with requirements to modernize [03:34] schestowitz[TR] DaemonFC: in the proess he was startiing to steal workers' money [03:34] schestowitz[TR] in secret [03:34] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], The way I see it they'd be in on this place another $500,000-800,000 to get this place "nice". [03:34] schestowitz[TR] and we can never forgive him for that [03:34] schestowitz[TR] he chose to defraud over bankruptcy [03:34] t0talist they may say hey, it won't be modernized, but the appartment must be maintained (fresh paint to the walls)... which isn't a problem, i would do it myself, if they pay the paint [03:35] DaemonFC They came through here, saw some rough stuff, sketchy tenants, buildings that need fixes. [03:35] DaemonFC They probably really don't want to be in on this nearly $2.4 million. [03:35] schestowitz[TR] it's more than that [03:35] schestowitz[TR] 1.plumbing [03:35] schestowitz[TR] you compalin a lot abbout it [03:35] schestowitz[TR] you lose months' of rent to change pipes [03:35] schestowitz[TR] you cannot do this in situ [03:35] schestowitz[TR] 2. paint etc. [03:36] DaemonFC The pipes are gurgling all the time. [03:36] schestowitz[TR] surface-thin, does not tackle aging bricks/concrete [03:36] DaemonFC Sometimes they start backing up and he comes out and runs an auger down the thing and gets it going again for a while. [03:36] schestowitz[TR] and not health to be in a house with paint agents... ask uncle keith [03:37] schestowitz[TR] 3. very expensive [03:37] DaemonFC Uncle Keith huh? That takes me back. [03:37] DaemonFC Back to 1993. [03:37] schestowitz[TR] and at price point of such rent it would be ruined fast [03:37] schestowitz[TR] like people sitttting there naked on sofas [03:37] schestowitz[TR] not showering [03:37] schestowitz[TR] eating all over them [03:37] schestowitz[TR] i think proper reno would be another 2 million [03:38] DaemonFC You think they know it's a lemon and they're in the process of finding the ejector seat from this "contract offer"? [03:38] schestowitz[TR] the cost of sale, assuming they stick to askign price [03:38] schestowitz[TR] and you cannot "reno" the neighbourhood [03:38] schestowitz[TR] worse, it can become worse over time [03:38] schestowitz[TR] the wealth gap in the us continued to widen [03:38] DaemonFC No you can't. Rich people are not going to move to this neighborhood. [03:38] schestowitz[TR] and social programs are cut [03:39] schestowitz[TR] DaemonFC: i could use your insight on pensions [03:39] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], Yeah, if he's having trouble chasing people down for rent now, wait til they start losing their Medicaid and food stamps and stuff. [03:39] schestowitz[TR] i want to make the series we have more tidy [03:39] schestowitz[TR] and ii don't know what they did to you parents, but.. [03:39] DaemonFC Okay. [03:39] schestowitz[TR] a relative in the us told me in 2011 pensins are "ponzi scchemes" [03:39] schestowitz[TR] or "pyrammmmid" [03:39] DaemonFC Well, Jack Welch of GE basically raided and stole the RCA pensions when he took over. [03:39] schestowitz[TR] i didn't heed that advice/caution [03:39] DaemonFC He didn't totally wipe my dad out, but he did at least as much damage as the divorce from mom. [03:40] DaemonFC Then you know all about the Catholics and mom. [03:40] schestowitz[TR] > I'm sorry not to get back to you sooner but xxxxxx told us that we [03:40] schestowitz[TR] > weren't allowed to contact you, but now he's left I guess its okay! [03:40] schestowitz[TR] I thought he had done this. He did the same to me. Cannot speak to anybody. Isolating me. [03:40] schestowitz[TR] > I haven't dared look at the pensions! Could you tell me what the pension [03:40] schestowitz[TR] > provider said? Was it Now Pensions? [03:40] schestowitz[TR] Nobody can find the pension the workers had until 2016. Even people who left the company years ago are told by Standard Life that the account isn't there and they refuse to say anything else. It's therefore suspected the current pension can't be trusted to be there either. People affected by this are still investigating. [03:40] schestowitz[TR] to summarise, DaemonFC [03:41] schestowitz[TR] many workers 'have' pensions [03:41] schestowitz[TR] and as insiders they are shy to ask questions [03:41] schestowitz[TR] and if they do ask, they receive no answers [03:41] schestowitz[TR] after I left I started making a lot more calls [03:41] DaemonFC Like the situation with my landlord. [03:41] schestowitz[TR] I did that months before leaving too [03:41] schestowitz[TR] but didn't go deep enough [03:41] DaemonFC "Hi, I already know you're probably going to sell this place. But before you do, can you extend our lease as a favor? We've always paid you on time." [03:42] DaemonFC *No answer.* [03:42] schestowitz[TR] yeah [03:42] schestowitz[TR] not good [03:42] schestowitz[TR] speaking of no replies [03:42] schestowitz[TR] from people you PAY [03:43] schestowitz[TR] we had that in sirius [03:43] schestowitz[TR] the bosses ignored messages from staff [03:43] DaemonFC BofA Merrill's Web site is sketchy AF. [03:43] schestowitz[TR] even lied about t hem going into "spam" [03:43] schestowitz[TR] let me quote you something [03:43] DaemonFC It locked Mandy out of his 401(k) the other week and complained of bad password. [03:43] DaemonFC And made me log in through an app to reset it. [03:44] DaemonFC Now it complains unsupported browser because it says "Linux" in the UA. [03:44] schestowitz[TR] " [03:44] schestowitz[TR] Hi again xxxx! [03:44] schestowitz[TR] Yeah, its strange the isolating people from each other - that's the game these people play I guess. Its such a relief that he left, he was so horrible to me and bullied me relentlessly. He even bounced me into a grievance process with xxxx and said that him and xxxx were starting the grievance process with or without me so it was in my interest to turn up the the initial grievance meeting on Google Meet! After that him and xxxx wan [03:44] schestowitz[TR] ted to meet with me on Google Meet to tell me that I'd been shortlisted for redundancy but I wasn't allowed to tell anyone. [03:44] schestowitz[TR] After he left I asked xxxx if I was still being made redundant and he said that all that was over now that xxxx has left! [03:44] schestowitz[TR] Horrible, horrible man. I hope I never see him again! [03:44] schestowitz[TR] And he never ever replied to any of my Slack messages even though he was my manager. And I've no idea what he did besides picking on people." [03:44] schestowitz[TR] shorter version [03:44] schestowitz[TR] the cabal was picking on staff [03:44] schestowitz[TR] threatening them [03:44] schestowitz[TR] to cause stress [03:44] schestowitz[TR] this was when the economy was falling [03:44] schestowitz[TR] war in ukraine [03:44] schestowitz[TR] aand you cannot speak back [03:44] schestowitz[TR] they ignore [03:45] DaemonFC Getting harder to hide the "funding gap". [03:45] schestowitz[TR] so I kept picking up the pphone [03:45] schestowitz[TR] insisting that we talk [03:45] schestowitz[TR] ON THE F* phone [03:45] schestowitz[TR] otherwise they can dodge [03:45] schestowitz[TR] even on the phone [03:45] schestowitz[TR] "too busy" [03:45] schestowitz[TR] "ok, when can I phone again?" [03:45] schestowitz[TR] "later today?" [03:45] schestowitz[TR] "tomorrow" [03:45] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], Yeah, if I call the landlord on the phone he'll either blow me off or get pissed. [03:45] schestowitz[TR] "tomorrow?" [03:45] schestowitz[TR] that gets to the point they cannot escape [03:45] DaemonFC If he gets pissed and ends up being the landlord when our lease renews, not good. [03:45] DaemonFC Leave it alone. [03:46] DaemonFC He'll either sell it or he won't. [03:46] schestowitz[TR] they cannot say "i will be too busy till the day i die" [03:46] schestowitz[TR] i did this to bosses [03:46] schestowitz[TR] i didn't care at that point [03:46] schestowitz[TR] i had to confront them about etthical and legal breaches of theirs [03:47] schestowitz[TR] DaemonFC: yes, it is like this [03:47] schestowitz[TR] not a good situation [03:47] schestowitz[TR] it's why many work via agencies [03:47] schestowitz[TR] even simple comms [03:47] schestowitz[TR] via middlemen [03:47] schestowitz[TR] toooo avoid things "bblowing up" [03:47] schestowitz[TR] by the way, some of these typos are due to Barrier [03:47] schestowitz[TR] not mepressing down the buttons too long [03:48] schestowitz[TR] i think i neeed to restart barrier [03:49] schestowitz[TR] ok, restarted [03:49] schestowitz[TR] hopefully this will pay off [03:49] schestowitz[TR] DaemonFC: here's some more [03:49] schestowitz[TR] it's a dungeon company by now [03:49] schestowitz[TR] I pity whoever is sitll there [03:49] schestowitz[TR] hoping to get yet anbother paycheck... and another [03:49] schestowitz[TR] till the bitter end [03:49] schestowitz[TR] some clients write to me [03:49] schestowitz[TR] high-profile companioes [03:49] DaemonFC Zombie corporation. [03:49] schestowitz[TR] one told me this month they decided" to give sirius the boot" [03:50] schestowitz[TR] weeks after rianne and I quit [03:50] schestowitz[TR] DaemonFC: yes [03:50] schestowitz[TR] living off [03:50] DaemonFC The clients can't get the company to do what they're paying them for anymore? [03:50] schestowitz[TR] 1!) bank loan [03:50] schestowitz[TR] 2) remaining clients/contracts [03:50] schestowitz[TR] 3) old name/reputation [03:50] schestowitz[TR] DaemonFC: some contracts have clauses for refund [03:50] schestowitz[TR] e.g. if SLA not met [03:50] DaemonFC LOL [03:51] DaemonFC So if the client leaves they get a lot of money back. [03:51] schestowitz[TR] sooner or later they will realise they might be entitled to get money back [03:51] schestowitz[TR] BUT [03:51] schestowitz[TR] the company cannot pay it bakc [03:51] schestowitz[TR] too broke [03:51] schestowitz[TR] they pay salaries from people's pension pots [03:51] DaemonFC Which makes them an unsecured creditor. [03:51] schestowitz[TR] i warned the pension provider for months [03:51] schestowitz[TR] that we would sue if they let the company touch it [03:52] schestowitz[TR] DaemonFC: [03:52] schestowitz[TR] "xxxx's returning soon - she's another one that has been so horrible to me. She even made me work 2 days after I was attacked and I had to work lying down on the sofa with concussion.

[04:43] schestowitz[TR] and this is what many people still remember you for [04:43] phanes no its a narrative you think you will bait me [04:43] schestowitz[TR] you reinforced the bad image social ccontrol media had painted about you [04:44] phanes hrmmmm nope i think i beat that too [04:44] schestowitz[TR] you fell into their trap [04:44] schestowitz[TR] or maybe that's just who you are [04:44] phanes see the problem with your theories is that you don't take into account that im a winner, i have always won, and i will always continue to win. [04:44] phanes its like plot armor [04:45] phanes so when you do this confidence phishing to try to bait me into giving you details to report in violation of an nda, its more amusing then the heated implosion you are hoping to create [04:46] schestowitz[TR] bluster [04:46] phanes all people are created equal. i genuinely believe that. but after you live a certain amount of time after being born, you get better at some things and worse at some things than others.

[04:47] schestowitz[TR] They told me the same thing this year. [04:47] schestowitz[TR] When I gave them my plan number (I have the official papers) they pretended not to see it. [04:47] schestowitz[TR] The manager said it was transferred out in 2016 but kept saying "my hands are tied unfortunately" (which meant she knew something but refused to tell me). I phoned them several times, spent hours on this. There's something truly rotten going on. [04:47] schestowitz[TR] Do you have E-mail contacts with other former staff? Seems possible xxxxxxx stole like 100,000 pounds and he is now hiding in the US, thinking he's above the law.

[04:47] schestowitz[TR] Regards, [04:47] schestowitz[TR] -------- [04:47] schestowitz[TR] it's false that it was "moved" [04:47] schestowitz[TR] or maybe it moved only for a few managers [04:47] schestowitz[TR] the cabal [04:48] schestowitz[TR] while the rest had been embezzled for over 5 years [04:48] schestowitz[TR] they are investigating this nnnow [04:48] schestowitz[TR] and their utmost priority will be [04:48] schestowitz[TR] covering up their own role in it [04:48] schestowitz[TR] hence, effort will be needed [04:48] phanes schestowitz[TR], but all that aside i dont want you to think i have doubts about your intent -- i think you are someone who tries to do the right thing but doesn't have the coherency to do it as you struggle with ambiguity [04:49] phanes not a great place to be if your occupation is in the journalism space. good for tabloid cred. bad for truth. [04:49] phanes well, sometimes. you're going to be right sometimes. [04:49] phanes your whole epistemology is busted bud [04:51] phanes dirty filter, maybe though, sounds like you've dealt with some pretty toxic shit [04:53] schestowitz[TR] bluster aagain [04:53] schestowitz[TR] anyway, from what I saw you are more a poser than anything [04:53] schestowitz[TR] inc. your nickname [04:53] phanes yet, somehow, the most truthful thing either of us have said to each other all night [04:53] schestowitz[TR] "lord bagira" [04:53] schestowitz[TR] see the problem with your theories is that you don't take into account that im a winner, i have always won, and i will always continue to win. [04:54] phanes indeed [04:54] schestowitz[TR] that's like charlie sheen onnn dope [04:54] phanes you don't give me enough credit. it's hard to win, even most of the time. [04:54] schestowitz[TR] what did you accomplish?

[04:55] phanes and that's a consistent theme. [04:55] phanes so [04:55] phanes having said that [04:55] phanes i want you to seriously ask yourself something [04:55] phanes "would someone like that care about my conspiracy theories about them" [04:56] phanes it's one thing to ask questions because you don't know [04:57] phanes it's another entirely to be dumb and pedal some dumbass evil villain theory by filling in the gaps with toad shit journalism [04:57] phanes i know that's harsh to hear, but you need to hear it. your approach on this was weak.

[06:43] lord_bagira schestowitz[TR], i'll teach you some math. microsoft had about 163,000 employees before the panedmic. as a virtue signal they ramped up workforce during the pandemic to 221,000. Now the pandemic is easing off into a new economy and they've made plans, not yet fully realized, to lay off 10,000 employees. What you're drumming up controversy over accounts for less than 5% of their workforce [06:44] lord_bagira and really you're talking about like 700 here, 500 there like it's some big deal and "signs of failure" [06:44] lord_bagira and not the 10,000 they plan on [06:44] lord_bagira this is what i mean about credibility [06:49] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], None of these apartments is desirable for a family.

[06:50] lord_bagira so buy a house [06:51] DaemonFC It gets really expensive to try to do anything in this country, so there's no point even trying. [06:51] lord_bagira you can get a decent 4 bedroom house for 400k in the us [06:51] DaemonFC Let the politicians who are freaking out about military recruitment figures figure out where the kids are going to come from. [06:51] DaemonFC They aren't doing shit for you. [06:51] DaemonFC Why should you pay half a million so they can have another war and send you children? [06:52] lord_bagira you should send your children [06:52] lord_bagira there's an ugly truth underneath that uglier vision [06:52] DaemonFC The government is freaking out about "fertility" because countries with declining populations have a really hard time committing to war. [06:53] DaemonFC There's a reason why the Nazis put in so many reproduction subsidies. [06:53] DaemonFC Like the Nazi Marriage Loan, and others. [06:53] lord_bagira well they should've thought about that before creating a central point of failure in the global food supply chain [06:53] DaemonFC Each time you had a kid, it forgave 1/4 of the loan. [06:53] DaemonFC And it was a very generous loan. [06:53] DaemonFC Child Tax Credits are basically a variation on the Nazi Marriage Loan.

[21:55] DaemonFC Seems like a significant improvement that forced them to go fix some POSIX non-compliance bugs in glibc. [21:56] DaemonFC "In this short study, we found that _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 improved fortification by nearly 4 times. For example, the Bash shell went from roughly 3.4% coverage with _FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 to nearly 47% with _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3. This is an improvement of nearly 14 times. Also, fortification of programs in sudo went from a measly 1.3% to 49.57% a jump of almost 38 times!" [21:56] DaemonFC This has made its way into the default build flags for Firefox and GNOME Web/WebkitGTK. [21:59] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], Looks like you were right again. [21:59] DaemonFC About the landlord spooking tenants. [21:59] DaemonFC He just lost another one of those "throw everything in or near the dumpster and run" people. ● Mar 25 [22:01] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], He might still get enough that spooking the tenants was worth it even if the deal goes south. [22:01] DaemonFC If the buyer reneges on a contract without a valid reason, he gets to keep the money they deposited in escrow. [22:02] DaemonFC Which can be a tidy sum even if it's just 1% of his asking price. [22:02] DaemonFC The buyers may end up having to pay him more than $24,000 for nothing. "The cost of wasting my time with you." [22:04] DaemonFC They have to "find something seriously wrong and unanticipated" during the "due diligence" phase, typically, or they lose their "earnest money deposit", which can typically be 1-5% of the agreed amount. [22:04] DaemonFC I have no way of knowing what the escrow was, but a range of $24,000 to $120,000 is likely. [22:05] DaemonFC So they have an incentive to either complete the deal or find a way that satisfies the contract for fleeing from it. [22:31] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], I sent this to Wordpress. [22:31] DaemonFC Hello, [22:31] DaemonFC This is regarding the deletion of my blog at baronhk.wordpress.com. [22:31] DaemonFC Again, I ask that it be undeleted. Apparently, I sent an email to the wrong address, because you've gone out of your way to hide how to contact someone in addition to just randomly deleting people's blogs due to them embarrassing Microsoft and commenting about Apple and proposed laws in an unfavorable light. [22:31] DaemonFC I can't see how you would have legitimately decided to suspend my account and went ahead and deleted it figuring that this was some sort of corporate censorship being imposed on me due to someone from Apple or Microsoft complaining that my articles frequently discuss them unfavorably. [22:31] DaemonFC If you would restore the blog, I'd appreciate it. [22:31] DaemonFC Of course, after this entire incident, I've lost a lot of confidence in your company to handle situations appropriately and have blogged extensively on Mastodon about being suspended by Wordpress.com unjustly and losing my entire blog for having insulted Apple, allegedly a "trillion dollar company" whose corporate goons apparently have nothing to do except get in touch with Wordpress to censor an article of mine that maybe hundreds of people on [22:31] DaemonFC Earth will see. [22:31] DaemonFC Perhaps you can enlighten me as to how I violated your terms of use, by pointing out the actual terms, instead of just saying "the terms", when I commented on an NBC news article about a proposed bill that would mean the iPhones and iPads would just blur the screen and make people report to a government-affiliated age verification system that they're watching porn? [22:31] DaemonFC That seems to be very creepy of Apple and a subject of interest to the public who will be affected by government and corporate overreach. [22:31] DaemonFC Thank you.
