[06:49] DaemonFC MinceR: I remember Tom Servo making a comment "Oh look, it's Jean-Claude Gosh Darn" over some guy in a low budget Canadian movie. [06:52] DaemonFC "In fact, people who do experience mental disturbances in Japan generally view seeking the help of a psychiatrist as shameful or a reason for them to be socially shunned.[57] Experts predict an increase in focus on issues such as the mental health problems now affecting youth, and specifically through effective telemedicine services to either the affected individual and/or their respective family unit.[57][62]" [06:52] DaemonFC Yeah, another "Asian families are the worst" thing. (An Asian person on Reddit actually said this.) [06:52] DaemonFC High expectations for their children, work yourself to death culture, stigmatizes mental health issues. [06:53] DaemonFC The idea of "self care" is pretty new in the US too. [06:54] DaemonFC The idea of not worrying too much about what other people expect and just living your life. ● May 26 [07:36] DaemonFC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tang_ping [07:36] TR Bot Tang ping - Wikipedia [07:37] DaemonFC Our media in the US has been getting a lot more like Chinese propaganda. [07:38] DaemonFC Using phrases like "slowing growth" and "cooling inflation", where 20-30 years ago they would have been asking why we've had so much stagflation. [07:39] DaemonFC And using gaslighting, like claiming $4.59 gas and the most expensive groceries ever are "dangerous levels of deflationary pressure". [07:40] DaemonFC Food here is still cheaper than Europe, but we've gone from a situation where in the mid 80s food started becoming a lower and lower share of household income (due to actual growth of household income under Reaganomics and persisting despite Clinton's tax hikes and welfare cuts). [07:41] DaemonFC To one where we're back where we were at in the 1970s, if not worse. [07:41] DaemonFC Food's not all that great anymore, and what you can get is the most expensive it's been in over a generation relative to household income. [07:42] DaemonFC The media bases "deflation" on the price of eggs, which had a surge due to fake bird flu outbreaks, that let them slaughter a bunch of animals that nobody even got to eat. [07:42] DaemonFC And make prices higher with less output. [07:42] DaemonFC Which is exactly how a cartel acts in an economy with government protectionism, price supports, and lack of competition. [07:43] DaemonFC They make it illegal to keep hens and then they lie and say there's a bird flu. [07:43] DaemonFC There's no bird flu, although you don't have any hens. They have all the hens. [07:43] DaemonFC So if they want to lie about a bird flu, you'll never know. They just kill the birds and say that's why and raise prices. [07:44] DaemonFC Chicken, eggs, everything. [07:45] DaemonFC > In April 2021, an incident where a truck driver committed suicide due to fines and vehicle impoundment sparked widespread discussions on the internet about the hardships of life at the grassroots level. This stands in stark contrast to the official emphasis on "poverty alleviation success" and the narrative of achieving a "moderately prosperous society," highlighting the lack of significant improvement, and even decline, in labor conditions amidst the [07:45] DaemonFC rapid pace of social development. The exacerbation of domestic social issues in mainland China due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019 also played a role. Some commentators argue that similar incidents are commonplace and that the working class has not truly benefited from rapid economic growth.[20][21][22] [07:45] DaemonFC > In May 2021, due to the changing trend in population structure, the government of the People's Republic of China announced the introduction of a three-child policy. However, some analysts believe that many young people today face challenges such as long working hours, stagnant wages, difficulties in homeownership, mental and physical exhaustion, and heavy burdens of elderly care, leading to a widespread decline in willingness to marry and have [07:45] DaemonFC children.[23][24] [07:45] DaemonFC --- [07:45] DaemonFC So it's common for people to just kill themselves so they won't have to live in China and do 72 hour work weeks in factories with suicide nets, or to escape government persecution that is making it impossible to live, and prices are too high. [07:45] DaemonFC But the government says you can have three children and subject them to all of this now. [07:46] DaemonFC I mean, to an extent, yeah, lots of Americans kill themselves to escape government persecution and deliberate hardship that is inflicted on them. [07:50] DaemonFC My sister-in-law is way too narcissistic to kill herself. [07:50] DaemonFC I think that's the only reason why it hasn't happened. [07:50] DaemonFC The cult they're in made her the treasurer, and so did something else. [07:51] DaemonFC Eventually they'll audit the books, and well, I wonder if any money will be left. [07:52] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR2]: The truth was she was widely hated at the hospital she was working at. [07:52] DaemonFC And they showed her to the door eventually. [07:52] DaemonFC She still says she's "PRN" there which means "as needed" but nobody can easily check that and probably nobody at the hospital cares if she lies. [07:52] DaemonFC Because at least they got her to leave. [07:53] DaemonFC We see her filling her shopping carts with "generic water". Oh the horror. [07:53] DaemonFC Not generic water. [07:53] DaemonFC Anything but that! [07:53] DaemonFC No more Nestle guy. [07:54] DaemonFC Maybe they'll be so far down in a hole that they'll consider drinking out of the tap, like peasants. ● May 26 [09:15] schestowitz[TR2] schestowitz[TR2]: She sent me a picture the other day.

Should police have waited? : NPR [22:14] DaemonFC White people are never featured in stories about unjustified police shootings. [22:15] DaemonFC But most of us are smart enough to know what happens next when you wave a loaded gun around while shouting at police officers. [22:15] DaemonFC Which is somehow an "unjustified" police shooting, but not if you're White. [22:16] DaemonFC "Ten days later, another man holding a gun pointed down was shot and killed by police during a domestic disturbance call, this time in Anchorage, Alaska. " [22:17] DaemonFC There he was, just minding his own business, waving a gun around, fresh off of innocently wife-beating..." [22:31] DaemonFC > What complicates matters for police is the science of human reaction times. At Washington State University, Stephen James runs a lab that studies this by running subjects -- including police officers -- through simulations. Those studies have demonstrated a two-to-three-second disadvantage for officers who wait to have a weapon pointed at them. [22:31] DaemonFC > There's no way a human can see the weapon coming up, make a decision about whether or not it's a threat, then decide to press the trigger and then the electrical signal has to go from the brain down the nervous system into the finger, James says. If you have to wait for all of that, the other person will get a shot off first. [22:31] DaemonFC --- [22:32] DaemonFC So when NPR is finished lying, they admit the truth, that if you wait to see if the offender is going to point a gun at you, you'll be dead, so you have to take the shot as soon as you see them with a gun because only they know if they plan to shoot you.

[22:41] DaemonFC The Federal Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 was never decided. [22:42] MinceR also because there is no such thing as an "assault weapon" [22:42] DaemonFC It claimed it took its authority from the Commerce Clause, but then again, so did a federal law that prohibited guns near schools, which WAS struck down.

Obviously it would have been best without the violence and holocaust and all of that. [23:05] DaemonFC Even the Nazis at least knew what to do with a pedophile, and it wasn't charge them with a misdemeanor. [23:05] DaemonFC Which modern Germany managed to fuck up terribly somehow. [23:05] MinceR yeah, for example, hitler killed hitler [23:06] DaemonFC There are groups of people that deserve to be locked in a room while gas is pumped in. Pedophiles. [23:06] DaemonFC It's such a shame that modern Germany doesn't get it. [23:07] DaemonFC I firmly believe that in the case of kiddie diddlers, it is possible to kill your way to a better world. Execution, keep on executing. [23:07] DaemonFC Eventually through terror alone, less people will even try it. [23:08] DaemonFC Ron DeSantis signed a bill creating the death penalty in Florida for extreme cases of child molesting. [23:08] DaemonFC I agree with him on that much at least. [23:08] DaemonFC It's funny that drug companies in Europe or Israel won't sell death penalty drugs to State prisons in the US. [23:09] DaemonFC So now we have people complaining that they flop around like a fish out of water due to nitrogen gas. [23:09] DaemonFC Well, shouldn't have done the thing then. [23:09] DaemonFC It's crazy. Entire world turned on its head. [23:10] DaemonFC John Wayne Gacy seduced younger men and had sex with them and then murdered them and defiled their bodies and buried them in his crawlspace. [23:10] DaemonFC If he was alive today, the Democrat parole board would turn him loose and put him in a halfway house and say they were amazed that he never reported to parole and they found a string of dead young men. [23:11] DaemonFC They have no idea how many murder victims Gacy actually had. [23:11] DaemonFC He claimed they didn't find nearly all of them. [23:12] DaemonFC So undoubtedly some just went "missing" and were never found. He had little reason to fuck with them. He'd already been sentenced to die.

[23:15] DaemonFC In the 90s, we didn't really need those. [23:15] DaemonFC If you were going in to see an R or NC-17 movie you knew there'd be something disturbing about it. [23:16] DaemonFC It was a voluntary rating system. [23:16] *jacobk has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [23:16] DaemonFC Instead of a government censorship board like most English speaking countries, which decides what movies are illegal to even watch, based on people from the government, we have a ratings system. [23:17] DaemonFC The MPAA has audiences watch the movie and write down what they think is offensive under standardized categories, and then they assign it a rating. [23:17] DaemonFC And it's up to you if you want to see a movie rated R or NC-17. [23:18] DaemonFC Back in the day, the government was poking around threatening to set up a film censorship board in America, but the consensus was that the legislation wouldn't even be legal. [23:18] DaemonFC Rather than have the government try, they adopted the ratings system. [23:18] DaemonFC Which was widely ignored. [23:19] DaemonFC Kids could get in to see an R rated movie if their parent was okay, and enforcement was pretty lax. [23:19] DaemonFC At the time, I was like 10-12 and seeing R movies without my parents there. [23:20] DaemonFC The only rule which actually was enforced was NC-17. But even then they didn't enforce it if your parents were there. [23:20] DaemonFC The local movie theater had a printout of all the things in "Scream" that got it a NC-17 and Dad and I were in there laughing while the guy was getting stabbed at a glory hole by someone's dick. [23:23] DaemonFC Err, Scary Movie, I meant. [23:23] DaemonFC Anyway, parody of Scream.

[23:49] DaemonFC The CEOs themselves admitted half was inflation and half was just them taking profits because the could blame that on inflation, which is why there is ample room for price cuts, but they'll never say this. [23:51] DaemonFC The danger of Biden getting back in is he'll let all of the Trump tax cuts expire and come for anything that people do have left. [23:52] DaemonFC Government always knows best, you know. Why do you need your money for groceries? They have $400 a night hotel room bills for people who are not in the country legally. [23:53] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR2]: Anyway, the ancient virus thing. [23:53] DaemonFC That's what happens when things get copied badly, I guess. [23:54] DaemonFC We likely have no idea how many undesirable mental and physical maladies are from this. [23:54] DaemonFC "Evolution" isn't about what's best for the species. It's about what gets passed on, which is to say, what's working as far as spreading via reproduction. [23:55] DaemonFC When you have a society like ours, a lot of people who would be dead in five seconds flat if they had to fend for themselves in nature end up procreating. [23:55] DaemonFC Hell, people who would be dead in five seconds flat today if they had to figure anything out for themselves. [23:55] DaemonFC So that's what spreads and spreads, like a disease. [23:56] DaemonFC MinceR: ^ [23:56] DaemonFC Foraging for food is a life skill. [23:57] DaemonFC Unfortunately, there's so many pests invading our country that there's getting to be nothing to shoot at that you know for sure is safe (zombie deer, for example), and so much pollution that you have to limit what you eat that came from the rivers and lakes. [23:58] DaemonFC Hipsters are developing a taste for venison. 10-20 years ago I'd shoot a deer and take the meat. [23:58] DaemonFC Now, probably not so much. [23:59] DaemonFC The hipsters are too afraid they'd break a nail to fire a gun at a stupid deer. [23:59] DaemonFC So they buy whatever the real men hunted and sell them. This is a recipe for disaster because.... [23:59] DaemonFC Why would you sell them the best meat?
