DaemonFC[m]Right after Florida forced Trump's propaganda theater out of Jacksonville, he issued a bew threat to invade the cities with 75,000 federal troops. Then he openly wondered why we weren't "inviting him to go in".Jul 25 01:06
DaemonFC[m]I'm like, "Oh, it's vampire rules. He can't come in unless you invite him. That's comforting.".Jul 25 01:07

DaemonFC[m]MinceR: John used to tell people he worked with at the TSA what breed of cat Bobbi Jo is and they reported him for using a racial slur.Jul 25 01:37
DaemonFC[m]He had to pull up a Wikipedia page on his phone to show the supervisor that a Maine Coon is a type of cat.Jul 25 01:38
DaemonFC[m]"Federal eviction protections expire and Congress leaves town." Yeah, sounds about right.Jul 25 01:41
DaemonFC[m]"Do you want a million bankruptcy filings? Because this is how you get a million bankruptcy filings."Jul 25 01:42
DaemonFC[m]They're setting up the perfect storm. The Republicans think they're pressuring people to "Go back to work.", but they're actually sparking an unprecedented wave of bankruptcy filing that causes a banking crisis.Jul 25 01:43
superkuhWell, banking isn't real.Jul 25 01:45
superkuhI suppose the crises would be people realizing that.Jul 25 01:45
superkuhIt seems unlikely.Jul 25 01:45
DaemonFC[m]It seems to me that the "change shortage" is created to pressure people to put cash in the bank so that they can spend it.Jul 25 01:45
DaemonFC[m]What I've been doing if I want to pay cash is telling them to put the change on my debit card.Jul 25 01:46
DaemonFC[m]So far it hasn't gotten too bad here. Most stores will give change but they won't break dollars for quarters.Jul 25 01:47
superkuhI've only heard of it in the context of broadcast news media performing their circus.Jul 25 01:50

DaemonFC[m]It does. In the US, the Libertarian Party is kind of "socially progressive and fiscally conservative", and if you look at what the government has actually done with the military and Social Security, it's a big disaster. Right? Social Security is going to fall apart in less than 10 years, and we spent $2 trillion a year that we borrowed from China to sail boats through China and tell them to mind themselves.

DaemonFC[m]Seems that the COVID-19 death rate started falling fast because they presumed that without death reports, the people who tested positive for it lived and closed over a million cases, but then they eventually caught up with the 2.1 million confirmed active cases out there and it's been falling less than 1/10th of a percent per day lately.Jul 25 18:22
DaemonFC[m]So at this rate.... I'm still saying I was probably right. That it ends up at 5% of confirmed cases in the end. We've closed out 2.2 million cases in the US, so the wave of people living and diluting the death rate which the far right was counting on has pretty much happened. leaving us with over triple the death rate which they said this thing probably had.Jul 25 18:24
DaemonFC[m]Remember, their parents landed on the moon with slide rules and now they hiss and hold up a cross at anyone who can do algebra on their way back to the TV with Fox News on it.Jul 25 18:25
oiaohmpsydroid: unity is still a mix of .net and C++.Jul 25 18:26
DaemonFC[m]There's not much reason to think that the next 2.2 million cases will break much differently than the 2.1 million that are now closed. Especially now that Trump admits he want to cut testing because he's said all along that he "doesn't need the numbers".Jul 25 18:26
schestowitzoiaohm: so they'd better go to workJul 25 18:27
schestowitzuse transpilers or somethingJul 25 18:27
DaemonFC[m]Remember that the current 2.2 million have been added in the last 30 days, whereas the previous 2.1 million were added between the last week of March through late June. So, it's pretty easy to see why Trump is getting ahead of this.Jul 25 18:27
schestowitzDaemonFC[m]: reopen my mouth!Jul 25 18:28
DaemonFC[m]We're getting days with 1,200 dead again, but those are the late June people, when it was adding 40,000 cases per day on average, and before it went to 75,000.Jul 25 18:28
schestowitzolder people better go into "bunker mode"Jul 25 18:29

DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: You were right about Trump messing with the mail to stop people from voting. His new postmaster general says that he's cutting overtime and if the mail doesn't get delivered, oh well.Jul 25 18:30
DaemonFC[m]Trump can do a lot of harm to the post office without Congress. Like all of his fake judges and cartoon characters who want to bring back a "gold standard" that got planted on the Federal Reserve (where the defense from Senate Republicans is that there's currently not enough to horribly damage our currency's reputation, except that that's wrong....), now he's got agents working to destroy the postal service.Jul 25 18:32

DaemonFC[m]The funny part is that most red states are trying to do vote by mail this year and the people most likely to be too afraid to go do it in person because the American healthcare system of Trump will leave them in bankruptcy levels of debt if they get the virus and live, are old people.Jul 25 18:36

DaemonFC[m]They had the movie "Minority Report" on TV the other night. I remembered how awful early 2000s movies were for product placements, but then laughed at how many of the brands advertising in the movie no longer existed or had just recently filed for bankruptcy. It severely dates the movie that stores in the mall that are filing to liquidate right now are somehow around in 2056. Jul 25 19:31
DaemonFC[m]The same thing happened in Blade Runner, but then they ran with it in the sequel and a lot of the brands that failed were still there in the sequel. Jul 25 19:32

DaemonFC[m]Even Coca Cola advertised in Blade Runner and then nearly failed because of New Coke.Jul 25 19:33
DaemonFC[m]The interesting thing was that in Blade Runner, they weren't so in your face that the movie felt like a commercial, but in all of these Philip K. Dick movie renditions of the early 2000s with Will Smith and Tom Cruise, it was just a commercial cesspit that really took away from the movie. Jul 25 19:34

DaemonFC[m]I can't imagine that there were so many "leftovers" on things like a perfectly good pair of North Face winter boots that I found there that went from $100 to $50 after Marshalls bought it and put it back on the shelf.Jul 25 19:53
DaemonFC[m]I don't know what this winter is going to be like. Bad, I suppose. Summer is usually the season where people get vacations and stuff in, and none of that is happening right now, and then Walmart said they're giving up on "Black Friday" and closing their stores on Thanksgiving and the next day. Jul 25 19:54
DaemonFC[m]It usually grinds on despite the fact that things get increasingly shittier each year, but.....this year people either have no money or they hoard it waiting for the other shoe to drop. 30% unemployment, even if the "president" lies to cover it all up, and even if people were doing okay financially, you can't have a mass gathering for a "shopping holiday" or there will be another boom in the Coronavirus numbers.Jul 25 19:56
DaemonFC[m]Corporate America seems like it's finished with Donald Trump. The list of huge employers that are offering paid time off to go vote is growing. We're at 500 companies now and just of them (Walmart) employs 1.5 million people, many of which do not like Trump very much.Jul 25 19:57
DaemonFC[m]They're throwing everything they have at getting rid of Trump by excusing their employees for the entire day, with pay, and asking them to vote.Jul 25 19:58

DaemonFC[m]Well, Trump has made a lot of very powerful enemies and most of the damage has been self-inflicted and completely avoidable.Jul 25 20:19
DaemonFC[m]We're now seeing the result of that. If there is foreign interference in the election, they have no reason to help Trump because he's been hurting their economies and destabilizing them as much as he has us.Jul 25 20:20
DaemonFC[m]Big Business is horrified because Trump's fake economy is now falling apart because the Coronavirus has meant that they can't even afford interest payments on their debt because nobody shops there.Jul 25 20:21
DaemonFC[m]Mass unemployment.Jul 25 20:21
DaemonFC[m]I mean, you name it, he did it. Now he's sending "federal invasion forces" that people do not want, that only the extreme fringe cranks are cheering for.Jul 25 20:22
DaemonFC[m]That's why his "base" is cracking. There's maybe 10% of his base that is not reacting well to this, and he's driven them over to the "You know what? Vote Biden and try again in 4 years." camp.Jul 25 20:23
DaemonFC[m]Beyond cracking the base, he's driving away people who really are in the political center because they just want things to be "normal" again, and Biden is going to be their answer due to lack of a better one.Jul 25 20:24
DaemonFC[m]Then we get to the left. Which might have been fractured due to the Centrist/Progressive split, but the only thing can be agreed on is anything but Trump. So there's not going to be that divide like "Bernie/Hillary" that we had last time.Jul 25 20:25
DaemonFC[m]Trump will get something between 130-170 electoral votes, which is short of the 270 you need. That will be the end of that. So you're right. He's tampering with the post office and anything else he can do to try to screw around with the election.Jul 25 20:26
DaemonFC[m]You can see that Trump's campaign realizes it is in deep shit, but it's not bringing in that much money because his megadonors have all gone into bankruptcy because of him, are donating to Biden instead, or are sitting this out, _and_ he has too much territory to defend. The internal polling on both sides shows that Trump is in serious trouble, and he's even pouring campaign money into places like Utah and Texas,Jul 25 20:29
DaemonFC[m]which he simply does not have. I mean, he's not going to "gain" states he lost last time by doing this. He's trying to keep states that should be "dark red" from getting away using money that he otherwise would spend in a Florida or a Wisconsin.Jul 25 20:29
DaemonFC[m]On a Chess board, this is squarely covered by trying not to expose your back row, but he's obviously not playing Chess.Jul 25 20:31

DaemonFC[m]We should just buy bus tickets for anyone who wants to leave the state.Jul 25 20:36
DaemonFC[m]The people who would get on a Greyhound bus and leave this very minute probably aren't the ones we want anyway, and if they go to Missouri, Texas, and Indiana, and cause problems there, that's one way of dealing with your crime problem.Jul 25 20:37
DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: As recently as 1999, it was an undecided issue as to whether a state could make it a crime to help a vagrant enter that state. California had a law making it a felony to bring in anyone who would be a drag on the state. The issue was settled by the Supreme Court, which found that all American citizens have a right to travel freely between the states as long as they are not on parole or probation, and thaJul 25 20:40
DaemonFC[m]they must be welcomed, not treated as an "unfriendly stranger".Jul 25 20:40
DaemonFC[m]So there's really nothing that another state could do about it if we did start buying bus tickets out of the state for people.Jul 25 20:41
DaemonFC[m]In my case, the court in Lake County dropped the "Do not leave Illinois." condition back in December, so I have the right to go to any state I want. I got special permission to be in Indiana from the judge at the sentencing hearing last August. I told her "Well, my family is in Indiana and if I can't visit there, I really don't have anyone.". Then I used my travel permission to use the Kia to drop mom back off inJul 25 20:44
DaemonFC[m]Indiana after she drove the Impala up here to let me borrow it indefinitely so that I could let Kia go ahead and repo the Kia and cause a problem for John.Jul 25 20:44
DaemonFC[m]I had that in my head in court. The reason I asked permission is because there was a (remote) chance that if I wasn't allowed in Indiana and got caught there the one time I had to go, I could be in even more trouble. Jul 25 20:45
DaemonFC[m]Probation officers can do a lot of nasty things behind your back. Like, they can just ask Google or your mobile carrier for a location history on your phone. So you don't need to be pulled over in another state to get caught there.Jul 25 20:46
DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: This is not paranoid conjecture, by the way. There's people on /r/probation on Reddit who say that's how they got caught being in another state, and the judge went ahead and sentenced them based on their phone's location history.Jul 25 20:48
DaemonFC[m]You really need to watch that shit. I mean, ideally you don't violate your probation, but if you do go into another state without permission, definitely don't even take your phone even if it does say it's off.Jul 25 20:48
DaemonFC[m]Most phones that say they're off are actually just in a low power mode. The network can still ping some of them.Jul 25 20:49
psydroidanother thing I thought of a few days ago is that malware moved from closed source operating systems to the web, as those closed source operating systems fell into disuse over the years. the average website has so much js from so many sources that it's become another target for exclusion from our lives. I wonder what the next thing they come up with will be to somehow exert control over us and our livesJul 25 20:49
kingoffranceeh, thats another one of those caricature things iMO with 14th almost everyone is technically "just visiting" a stateJul 25 20:49
kingoffrancei think like judge judy they always want to know "do you have a job?" thats their only real concernJul 25 20:49
DaemonFC[m]kingoffrance: Don't sign a deal that you can't fulfill. If you know that they'll have you on a violation very soon after you sign it, don't take the deal unless they change that part. Jul 25 20:50
DaemonFC[m]It's better to take your chances in front of a jury sometimes, if there's a 100% chance you'll violate probation and you know it. Jul 25 20:51
DaemonFC[m]kingoffrance: I figured that they would put me on probation and drug test me, so the first thing I did was, well, be sure not to smoke any pot for the 3 months that we were waiting to see what would happen.Jul 25 20:53
DaemonFC[m]You'd be amazed how dumb some people are. They'll be on bail. They could be spending that 90 days before we even get to the plea offer cleaning themselves up, and they sign the deal and immediately fail their drug test and now they have two problems.Jul 25 20:53
DaemonFC[m]I even said to my probation officer. "What do you think you're going to catch me doing when I know there's going to be a drug test at the next meeting?".Jul 25 20:55
DaemonFC[m]She's like, "Oh people do drugs and come right in here anyway.". I said, "Gee, Earth to genius.... Right?".Jul 25 20:55
DaemonFC[m]She laughed.Jul 25 20:55
DaemonFC[m]I managed to piled up everything onto some pallets, figuratively speaking, slam the blast door, figuratively speaking, and let it all blow up in there, figuratively speaking.Jul 25 20:57

DaemonFC[m]"I've never seen him so eager to move on.".Jul 25 21:07
kingoffrancebut that was why they thought i shouldnt get unempl -- fired, not quit ;    yet, they were pressuring me to do things not in my contractJul 25 21:07
DaemonFC[m]Oh, never quit. Never, never quit. Jul 25 21:08
DaemonFC[m]If you quit, you lose your unemployment case pretty much right off the bat in most states.Jul 25 21:08
DaemonFC[m]If they fire you for something, you can can challenge the denial and force them to explain themselves.Jul 25 21:08
DaemonFC[m]There's a reason why they say "You can quit now before we fire you.".Jul 25 21:09
DaemonFC[m]Most HR managers are so afraid of being sued over giving out negative information, that they tell your next employer how long you worked there and what your title was, and nothing else.Jul 25 21:09
DaemonFC[m]So, let them fire you, turn it into an adversarial process on them.Jul 25 21:09
DaemonFC[m]If you let them fire you, there's a good chance you'll be living on their unemployment insurance premiums for the next 6 months or until you find a new job.Jul 25 21:11

kingoffranceso they were trying to make me do employee stuff, but not hiring right now, and had already made verbal agreements otherwiseJul 25 21:11
kingoffranceand then when i called them on it -- firedJul 25 21:11
kingoffranceso it wasnt worth it, but i did win unempl. for a short whileJul 25 21:11
DaemonFC[m]The reason they give you the "opportunity to quit" is so that this does not happen.Jul 25 21:11
kingoffrancewell i just stopped showing up, told them get me an answerJul 25 21:11
DaemonFC[m]The fewer people who lose their job at that employer in such a way that they get UI, the lower that employer's unemployment premiums are in the following year.Jul 25 21:12

kingoffrancebut thats all because they refused to give an answerJul 25 21:13
kingoffrancejudge saw through it i guessJul 25 21:13
DaemonFC[m]I can tell you that things were getting bad out there for finding a job in Indiana around 2004.Jul 25 21:13
DaemonFC[m]Then it got better for a couple of years, and then it got really bad again in 2007, but in the mean time nobody would say "recession". They waited for "two quarters of negative GDP" to admit what anyone looking for a job in 2007 already knew.Jul 25 21:14

DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: Mitch Daniels (former Republican Governor who decided the privatization was a great idea) tried to say that people were defrauding the state Medicaid system and that's why it was "necessary", but he also admitted that it was "dozens of cases" in a state of almost 7 million people in an entire year that he cited.Jul 25 21:27

DaemonFC[m]The FSSA outsourced to IBM and people applying for Medicaid disability were having IBM lose their applications while they were getting sued by hospitals over medical bills piling up that the state should have been paying for.Jul 25 21:28

DaemonFC[m]Even within California, if you look closer, it's Orange County and a few other oddballs where it's mostly Republicans that have a bad Coronavirus problem right now. So it's not even all parts of California. It's that the Republican counties are getting hit bad and everyone else is wearing masks so no hot spots.Jul 25 21:38

DaemonFC[m]Surgical masks are cheap and they actually do work "okay" considering how cheap they are. If you can't find anything better to wear, wear like 2-3 of those stacked. It's definitely not as good as a N95, but even healthcare workers can't find those, and 3 surgical masks are 87.5% effective against flu for the wearer.Jul 25 21:40
DaemonFC[m]If you are doing social distancing alongside that, then I'd say 3 surgical masks + hand sanitizer would probably work out okay.Jul 25 21:41
DaemonFC[m]It's better to do what I do and just get grocery pickup. It doesn't cost more and you don't have to spend an hour in the store where there could be viral clouds to walk through.Jul 25 21:41

DaemonFC[m]There's no Democrats that they can really blame this on considering that Trump was in office for years and abolished the pandemic response team and consistently proposed slashing the CDC budget for 3 years in a row leading up to this, and leaving 100 top scientist positions unfilled.Jul 25 22:26

DaemonFC[m]He put an oil man in charge of nuclear energy and nuclear weapons. He just stuffs people who have no idea what they're in charge off in office and the only thing we ever heard of Ben Carson doing at HUD was spending $500,000 of tax money redecorating his officeJul 25 22:28

DaemonFC[m]Then the payment history on his account drags my credit rating back up.Jul 25 23:05
DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: So basically fresh out of bankruptcy a bank that bankruptcy was filed against brings my credit back up into the 600s. Jul 25 23:06

schestowitzI don't know how >this< system worksJul 25 23:14
schestowitzI  imagine those are credit scoresJul 25 23:14
DaemonFC[m]Yeah. Pretty much 350 is the worst possible score and 820 is the highest. I got up to 806 at one point.Jul 25 23:15
DaemonFC[m]Then the problems happened last year and I got my car repossessed and the credit cards all defaulted. Jul 25 23:15
DaemonFC[m]John got the car back and negotiated with them to not call it a repo, so they never called it a repo on my credit.Jul 25 23:16
DaemonFC[m]So my score dropped to 490.Jul 25 23:16
DaemonFC[m]Then I filed bankruptcy and it went back to 570.Jul 25 23:16
DaemonFC[m]The bankruptcy is damaging, but less damaging than a bunch of charged off credit cards.Jul 25 23:16
DaemonFC[m]Because the debt is gone and you can't be sued over it while trying to pay back someone else who loans you money.Jul 25 23:17
DaemonFC[m]So yes, filing bankruptcy can improve your score if it was already heavily damaged by unpaid debt.Jul 25 23:17
DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: Most landlords who are even somewhat reputable will not talk to someone with a credit score much below 600.Jul 25 23:18
DaemonFC[m]If they do, they will want a bigger deposit. Jul 25 23:18
DaemonFC[m]So anything you can do to repair some of that damage fast after emerging from bankruptcy is something you might have to do just to qualify for a place to live.Jul 25 23:19
DaemonFC[m]schestowitz: There's a "fake loan" that people can take out after bankruptcy to game the system.Jul 25 23:19
DaemonFC[m]What it will do is you hand someone like $3,000 which gets put into a deposit account. They "loan" you $3,000 at like 1-2%.Jul 25 23:20
DaemonFC[m]It's safe for them because if you don't pay it back, they just take the money you have on deposit with them.Jul 25 23:21
DaemonFC[m]You use the $3,000 plus a little "interest" to make installments, and in return, they put a "trade line" on your credit report that shows "Paid As Agreed".Jul 25 23:21
DaemonFC[m]Eventually, you pay off the "loan", they hand you $3,000 and they keep the "interest" as a fee for servicing the fake loan.Jul 25 23:21
DaemonFC[m]I don't know, maybe 3% or so. It's low because it's fake interest.Jul 25 23:22

schestowitz> Jul 25 23:57
schestowitz> Industry people. A few from GNOME, the ultimate Stallman traitors (including the executive director.) These are people who have motive that goes far beyond "safety" (bollocks) at Libreplanet. Two from Debian. One whose husband works at Zoom now. Two people on the list are a couple, One from Red Hat, and lots of people who have a GitHub account of course.Jul 25 23:57
schestowitz> Jul 25 23:57
schestowitz> They want Stallamn out because their way of life is mixed-proprietary development, and they want GNU to open, not free. It's really that simple. Again-- McGovern is on the Libreplanet petition. Re-read what he said on the GNOME blog. This is all really, really dirty.Jul 25 23:57
schestowitzCan you type it up more formally in an article? Links would also help for those who doubt the claims...Jul 25 23:57
