[01:18] IsambardPrince According to the label it's skim milk and corn syrup solids. [01:18] IsambardPrince They asked what I did with it and I said "It's in the trash where it belongs." [01:20] MinceR :> [01:20] MinceR half-and-half reminds me of that scene in Scott Pilgrim vs the World [01:20] MinceR "You once were a vegan, but now you will be gone." [01:26] IsambardPrince Veganism is the result of a morally corrupt mind. [01:26] MinceR :> [01:26] IsambardPrince (Ron Swanson, Parks & Rec) [01:26] IsambardPrince "It's our new meatless bacon. Care to try some?" [01:26] IsambardPrince Ron: Yes please. *throws it in the trash* [01:26] IsambardPrince Ron: Another please. *throws it in the trash* [01:26] IsambardPrince "What are you doing?" [01:27] IsambardPrince Ron: Making sure that nobody will ever have to eat that. [01:27] IsambardPrince I love Ron Swanson. [01:27] MinceR :> [01:27] IsambardPrince The world has gone crazy around him and he doesn't react well to it. [01:28] IsambardPrince They send him to a gay hair stylist and he's alarmed but then the stylist starts talking about how much he hates Euro Trash and bicycles. [01:28] IsambardPrince And they hit it off. [01:28] IsambardPrince "It is a garbage continent. Please tell me more about how much you hate Europe and bicycles." [01:28] nobody huh [01:29] IsambardPrince MinceR: I did agree with a few things Trump said he wanted to do. He hasn't accomplished any of them though. [01:29] MinceR it's not the continent's fault that humans live on them [01:29] IsambardPrince Get rid of the Somalis and Haitians and abolish the IRS. [01:30] IsambardPrince MinceR: The Supreme Court ruled this morning that Trump can terminate TPS for the Somalis and Haitians and Syrians, oh my. [01:31] IsambardPrince That means their EADs are VOID immediately and their employers have to fire them and hire someone else. [01:31] MinceR but have they included a cover sheet for the TPS report? [01:31] IsambardPrince Which immediately means about a million jobs are freed up for Americans who don't have jobs because Walmart was hiring Biden's grateful peasants instead. [01:32] IsambardPrince And then they ruled no more asylum bullshit for literally millions that show up at the Mexican border. [01:32] IsambardPrince And CNN has somehow framed this as White Supremacy. [01:32] IsambardPrince No country in the world would put up with this. [01:32] IsambardPrince If they do, they deserve to fail. [01:33] IsambardPrince Where the hell do they think the new German Nazis are coming from? [01:33] nobody the what [01:33] IsambardPrince That Alliance for Germany party. [01:33] IsambardPrince You know, the fire alarm is going off (they keep expanding) and the government is sitting there using none of the tools to stop that. [01:33] MinceR they come largely from orcish agitation [01:34] MinceR there are a scary amount of apes that will believe just about anything, and pedonazis are capitalizing on that [01:35] IsambardPrince MinceR: I can't believe that Biden just let 1.4 million people come here and have EAD cards after they entered the country illegally. [01:35] nobody do yourself a favor: if you have no clue of inner-german politics, skip commenting upon that [01:35] IsambardPrince If your first act in a country is commission of a crime, maybe you shouldn't get a reward. [01:35] MinceR maybe you shouldn't [01:35] MinceR fascists like to lie to get what they want [01:36] IsambardPrince I'd be more lenient on people who just didn't leave. [01:36] IsambardPrince At least we know who they are and they were vetted well enough to receive some sort of visa. [01:36] IsambardPrince But sneaking in is an actual crime. [01:36] IsambardPrince There's no process, we don't know enough about them. [01:37] IsambardPrince I think we should have a fairly liberal definition of who gets to stay here. [01:37] IsambardPrince But people who don't go through any sort of vetting and just barge in and disappear into the country should be given a one way ticket back to wherever they came from. [01:38] nobody according to MinceR that's orcish agitation [01:38] IsambardPrince I think we should go back to the standard of "We make sure they're not a criminal or troublemaker in their home country, then we see if they can support themselves, and then if they can do that, they get a green card." [01:39] IsambardPrince We had that system, more or less, until the Immigration and Nationalization Acts and quotas. [01:39] IsambardPrince I would go back to a system much like before the INA, and without quotas and the Chinese Exclusion Act, obviously. [01:40] IsambardPrince Uncapped green cards for anyone who does a background check and passes it and isn't going to be a drain on the state. [01:40] IsambardPrince That's not "Nazism" it's a straightforward process and it's reasonable. [01:40] MinceR good old 'going back to something that never existed' [01:41] IsambardPrince We used to just let whatever state you landed in handle it. [01:41] IsambardPrince It was mostly California that agitated for the exclusion of Chinese immigrants. [01:42] IsambardPrince And in 2008 they banned gay marriage to. [01:42] IsambardPrince Fuck California. [01:42] MinceR it's being fucked as we speak [01:42] IsambardPrince Yeah, Gavin Newscum is handling that well. [01:42] IsambardPrince A million people fleeing the state with whatever's left every decade. [01:42] IsambardPrince I think it's accelerating the longer Newscum is around. [01:42] MinceR so's the pedophile king [01:43] IsambardPrince I don't like seeing California collapse, personally. [01:43] IsambardPrince They end up here and then they bid up prices here. [01:43] IsambardPrince And they don't change anything about why they caused their own state to fail. [01:44] IsambardPrince So they cause the places they move to, to get expensive and shitty and crime-ridden, and fail. [01:44] IsambardPrince It's like locusts. [01:44] MinceR humans are worse than locusts [01:44] IsambardPrince They eat all the crops and then move on. [01:44] IsambardPrince They don't learn anything about taking care of where they live so it doesn't happen again. [01:46] IsambardPrince DSA is mostly active and winning elections in New York City. [01:46] MinceR Digital Signature Algorithm? [01:46] IsambardPrince It's because the policies became so destructive that people are doubling down on them instead of learning anything. [01:47] MinceR > Humans have driven at least 680 vertebrate species to extinction since the 16th century, with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) recording 784 extinctions since the year 1500. However, broader estimates suggest that up to 381,150 animal species overall may have been lost due to human activity over the past 500 years, calculated by comparing current extinction rates to natural [01:47] MinceR background levels. [01:47] MinceR > There are no recorded species that have gone extinct because of locusts. [01:47] MinceR really seems like being compared to humans is an insult to locusts [01:47] IsambardPrince Yeah, things go extinct all the time. [01:47] MinceR and devil apes have accelerated the process [01:48] MinceR the Rocky Mountain locust went extinct because of humans [01:48] IsambardPrince Heh [01:50] *GNUmoon2 has quit (connection closed) [01:50] *GNUmoon2 (~GNUmoon@p9r7xjwzxkr52.irc) has joined #techrights ● Jun 26 [02:00] *IsambardPrince has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [02:06] *psydroid3 has quit (Quit: KVIrc 5.2.10 Quasar http://www.kvirc.net/) [02:46] TR News Yesterday's #boycottnovell-social and #techpol IRC logs ready.

[02:55] MinceR :3 [02:56] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: Piyush gave me a good tenant reference. [02:56] IsambardPrince I think he knows what would happen if he did not. [02:59] IsambardPrince "Undetectable leaks and clogs, corroded supply lines behind unobservable dry walls, sabotaged main drains packed with stones and dirt, compromised heating systems serving numerous tenant units, burst water supply lines during winter, compromised electric wiring, city pressure, unending tenant complaints, evictions, vacancies, and lawsuits, are just a few of the many blows that hit you many times on the same day." [02:59] IsambardPrince Unending tenant complaints. [02:59] IsambardPrince "I'm freezing and the pipe just blew up and none of the outlets work unless you jiggle them the right way and the drain is clogged!" [02:59] IsambardPrince Bitch bitch bitch, nag nag nag. [02:59] IsambardPrince It never stops. ● Jun 26 [03:00] IsambardPrince I mean, can't a disreputable slumlord just raise the rent 11% a year in peace without these petty grievances? [03:01] IsambardPrince "4) Lead from the front. I dont shy away from stepping into the nastiness and help front-line workers as much as possible by running errands and opening my wallet to buy whatever tools or materials they need to find permanent solutions." [03:01] IsambardPrince Just the other day I opened my wallet and helped Chris the Hobo napalm the hallways with RAID to solve a persistent building-wide roach problem accelerated by overflowing garbage and leaky roofs. [03:03] IsambardPrince I mean we used so much RAID it was redundant, like RAID 1. [03:03] MinceR "Ahhh, time to partay with Mr. Napalm!" [03:03] IsambardPrince it was like RAID 1 only without toilets. [03:03] MinceR "Hi there. Hello Miss, I need to buy some napalm. Uhh, to kill weeds, in my lawn, as far as you know." [03:04] IsambardPrince You need to evacuate for a few days affter we set these off. [03:04] IsambardPrince But the cats can stay. [03:04] IsambardPrince They'll be fine. [03:04] MinceR :> [03:04] IsambardPrince Kills roaches, doesn't affect cats. [03:04] IsambardPrince Maybe you can go camping. The state parks are nice this time of year. [03:05] IsambardPrince Roach bombs don't really solve any problems. Even if you set them off in every room at once in the entire building, you'd get half of the roaches at best. [03:05] IsambardPrince They're going to crawl into the walls and they won't be affected there. [03:06] IsambardPrince You have to clear everyone out, clean things, and get ready for a tent fumigation where they throw a giant tent over the building and pump in pesticide gas. [03:06] IsambardPrince Over the span of days. [03:07] IsambardPrince And if even 1% survive, they'll be as bad as they are now within 3-4 months. [03:07] IsambardPrince Really the only way to be sure is to demolish the building and clear it down to an empty lot and rebuild. [03:08] IsambardPrince Then get better tenants next time there's a building there. [03:08] IsambardPrince Most decent professional landlords care who they get as tenants, because your only concern is not whether they pay, it's whether they create ongoing problems in the building even after they leave.

[04:21] IsambardPrince Windows 10 is going to turn into the new Windows XP. [04:22] IsambardPrince It went on for another 8 years because someone at Microsoft decided that Vista would have such outrageous hardware requirements that it wouldn't even run on things they certified it with. [04:23] IsambardPrince They then turned around and blamed PC OEMs for buying hardware that was still widely available and compatible with XP because it was cheaper. [04:23] IsambardPrince The PC market wasn't really ready for Vista's level of hardware requirements until about three years after it came out, and by then Windows 7 also cleaned up some of the major fuck-ups. [04:24] IsambardPrince But even then, OEMs wanted to sell cheaper PCs that could only run XP. [04:24] IsambardPrince So they still kept coming out, on things like netbooks, for another 2-3 years, something like that. [04:25] IsambardPrince Windows XP became so long in the tooth that there are still people running it today, 25 years after it came out and many years after support ended entirely. [04:25] IsambardPrince And they are recompiling Pale Moon or something because it "still works" to the level that they need it to.

[18:40] schestowitz[TR2] the bank foooorces you to buy insurance too [18:40] IsambardPrince So that you can imagine that you own it. [18:40] schestowitz[TR2] maybe in the US also [18:40] schestowitz[TR2] *forces [18:40] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: There are all sorts of things that can increase the cost of a mortgage after you sign it. [18:41] schestowitz[TR2] irc, you said marisol fixed the home [18:41] IsambardPrince Chicago came and raised property tax bills by over 50% in a single year in some cases. [18:41] schestowitz[TR2] and improved it [18:41] schestowitz[TR2] as if the bank will give it to her [18:41] schestowitz[TR2] what a dumbass [18:41] IsambardPrince That ends up in the mortgage whether you budgeted for it or not. [18:41] schestowitz[TR2] the bank loves people like these [18:41] schestowitz[TR2] they add value to the home [18:41] IsambardPrince Property insurance went up 17% in one year. [18:41] schestowitz[TR2] they do not even home [18:41] IsambardPrince If you drop the insurance, the bank takes the house. [18:41] schestowitz[TR2] no [18:41] schestowitz[TR2] the bank alreayd took the hjouse [18:41] schestowitz[TR2] when you signed [18:42] schestowitz[TR2] mort (death) gage agreement [18:42] schestowitz[TR2] the term you look for [18:42] schestowitz[TR2] is, [18:42] schestowitz[TR2] the bank evicts you [18:42] IsambardPrince Yeah, there's a clause in the mortgage that says if you drop the insurance, the bank will "force place" it on you. [18:42] schestowitz[TR2] it takes nothing [18:42] IsambardPrince What that means is the bank buys a policy, it might not be the rate you could have gotten. [18:42] IsambardPrince The mortgage will go up due to the force placement. [18:42] IsambardPrince Then you can't pay that and they take it. [18:42] schestowitz[TR2] no [18:43] schestowitz[TR2] they take nothing [18:43] schestowitz[TR2] they eevict you [18:43] schestowitz[TR2] you don't take what is already yours [18:43] schestowitz[TR2] don't use their language [18:43] IsambardPrince So dropping the insurance just means you'll probably get foreclosed on when they force place some insurance that probably costs more than the insurance you dropped. [18:43] schestowitz[TR2] you are helping them sell it [18:43] IsambardPrince You can't save money by dropping insurance. [18:43] schestowitz[TR2] they they find another 'tenant' [18:43] IsambardPrince Because they'll force place insurance on it. [18:43] schestowitz[TR2] read: another mortgage taker [18:43] schestowitz[TR2] for that same place [18:43] IsambardPrince The same thing happens with a car loan. [18:44] IsambardPrince If you drop the insurance, the lender has the right to force place insurance on it and raise your car payments. [18:44] IsambardPrince That thing is their asset. [18:44] IsambardPrince They're not going to risk an uninsured asset that you might burn down, or crash. [18:44] schestowitz[TR2] in hawaii they force you not to take rental cars to some place [18:44] schestowitz[TR2] like near cliff [18:44] schestowitz[TR2] as they are high risk [18:44] schestowitz[TR2] so even your rented car has restrictions [18:45] schestowitz[TR2] based on... whastever [18:45] schestowitz[TR2] and I guiess they use GPS surveilance to verify [18:45] schestowitz[TR2] which means even more spying [18:45] schestowitz[TR2] in 'your' rented car [18:45] IsambardPrince Yes, don't sign a car loan. [18:45] IsambardPrince Don't sign a home loan. [18:45] IsambardPrince Don't borrow from a credit card. [18:45] schestowitz[TR2] it's like this [18:45] IsambardPrince Don't take on loans. [18:45] schestowitz[TR2] "do this" [18:45] schestowitz[TR2] "if you cannot", who "owns it"? [18:45] schestowitz[TR2] or "don't do this" [18:46] IsambardPrince If you agree to a loan, you are in deep shit. [18:46] schestowitz[TR2] "see what happens" [18:46] schestowitz[TR2] to test the waters [18:46] IsambardPrince Don't take anything from these people. [18:46] schestowitz[TR2] right [18:46] schestowitz[TR2] but people compedte in society [18:46] schestowitz[TR2] claiming to own things they do now [18:46] schestowitz[TR2] like some shoebox [18:46] schestowitz[TR2] *do not [18:46] schestowitz[TR2] i don't play those games [18:46] schestowitz[TR2] and I am better off for it [18:46] schestowitz[TR2] i never borrowed money, never will [18:46] schestowitz[TR2] people don't force you to [18:47] schestowitz[TR2] that's why yopu , ryan, get so much spam [18:47] schestowitz[TR2] from banks [18:47] schestowitz[TR2] trying to sell you loans [18:47] schestowitz[TR2] or "homes" [18:47] schestowitz[TR2] which means loans [18:47] IsambardPrince Yes, they always want to loan me money. [18:47] schestowitz[TR2] for them to buy something and you then rent it [18:47] IsambardPrince Yes, they want to do 50 year mortgages now. [18:47] schestowitz[TR2] no [18:47] schestowitz[TR2] 50-year rental [18:47] schestowitz[TR2] with signned agreement [18:47] IsambardPrince You pay a mortgage payment that's like 90% interest. [18:47] schestowitz[TR2] 600 rent payments [18:47] IsambardPrince It will take you 17 years to have any "equity". [18:47] schestowitz[TR2] how nice would that be [18:48] schestowitz[TR2] too the bank [18:48] IsambardPrince Compared to about 3-5 years on a 30 year mortgage. [18:48] IsambardPrince Or 1-2 on a 15 year. [18:48] schestowitz[TR2] iirc, trump proposed the 50-year thing... or trump admin [18:48] schestowitz[TR2] 50 years is insanne [18:48] schestowitz[TR2] ifg you workj age 17 [18:48] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: Dave Ramsey was talking about 50 year mortgages. [18:48] schestowitz[TR2] until 67 [18:48] schestowitz[TR2] IF [18:48] schestowitz[TR2] if you are never ill [18:48] IsambardPrince Ramsey endorsed Donald Trump. [18:48] schestowitz[TR2] in those "prime years" [18:48] IsambardPrince But Ramsey had a lot to say about 50 year mortgages. [18:49] IsambardPrince He said "We should all live so long!" [18:49] IsambardPrince :) [18:49] IsambardPrince He was not impressed. [18:49] schestowitz[TR2] haha [18:49] IsambardPrince Ramsey says if you are going to get a mortgage, you can't afford it unless it's a 15 year mortgage. [18:49] IsambardPrince He said that's the only mortgage you should consider. [18:49] IsambardPrince If you can't pay for a 15 year, don't do it. [18:49] schestowitz[TR2] which 15 years? [18:49] schestowitz[TR2] 1990-2005? [18:49] schestowitz[TR2] 2005-2020? [18:49] IsambardPrince A 15 year fixed rate [18:49] schestowitz[TR2] 2020-? [18:50] schestowitz[TR2] lots can hapen in 15 years [18:50] IsambardPrince Well, his idea is that you at least get equity a lot faster. [18:50] schestowitz[TR2] fotcom crrash, subprime mortgage crisis, covid-19... [18:50] IsambardPrince it also saves a lot of interest. [18:50] schestowitz[TR2] Trump the Second [18:50] IsambardPrince And it reduces your window of exposure. [18:50] schestowitz[TR2] starting a war [18:50] schestowitz[TR2] then "ending" it [18:50] schestowitz[TR2] surrendering [18:50] IsambardPrince It's not that there's no risk on a 15. [18:50] schestowitz[TR2] with oil prices sky-0high [18:50] IsambardPrince It's that there's far less risk. [18:50] IsambardPrince What can happen in 15 vs 30 or 50? [18:50] IsambardPrince 30 or 50 most people will never own it. [18:51] schestowitz[TR2] 15 is till long [18:51] IsambardPrince Something horrible happens. [18:51] schestowitz[TR2] my friend paul took mortgage [18:51] schestowitz[TR2] got maried [18:51] IsambardPrince Probably before there's significant equity. [18:51] schestowitz[TR2] his spouse also had mortgage [18:51] schestowitz[TR2] so of course one defauled [18:51] schestowitz[TR2] why take one at all? [18:51] schestowitz[TR2] people take them like they are "cheaper than rent" [18:51] schestowitz[TR2] without looking closely at what they sign [18:51] IsambardPrince It gets worse because if you're married and acquire that house during the marriage, it becomes marital property. [18:52] schestowitz[TR2] some of them do ttthis just to lie to peopple about "buying a home" [18:52] IsambardPrince If your wife fucks some other dude and leaves you, the court makes you figure out how to cut her a check for half the equity. [18:52] IsambardPrince Ouch [18:52] IsambardPrince Fuck the court. [18:53] IsambardPrince If you rent, they can't do anything other than ordering you to leave and maybe pay off the lease. [18:53] IsambardPrince Your obligations end at the end of the lease, regarding that apartment. [18:53] IsambardPrince The court can't make you sign another lease.
