[01:32] DaemonFC They kept saying something about "Image Right" which is not a concept in British law. [01:33] DaemonFC They said "Image Right" meant he couldn't film them in a public mall as they were walking around the piano he was playing. [01:33] DaemonFC So they scream racism racism because they know that the police respond to that because of leftist authoritarianism. [01:34] DaemonFC And it works in Canada too because the law is similar there where some overgrown child can tell the police they had their little feelings hurt and it becomes a criminal investigation. [01:34] DaemonFC The British and Canadian systems are absolutely insane. [01:35] DaemonFC When shouting and making up terms didn't work on him, they played the "race card".

[01:39] DaemonFC It's very insulting to pretend that you can't tell I'm a man. [01:40] DaemonFC Chestfeeding birth person sounds like the fucking aliens have landed and they're genderless. [01:40] DaemonFC So we had to figure out what to call it. [01:41] MinceR lol [01:41] MinceR chestburster [01:41] DaemonFC This guy in the video has a point. "Some politicians and people in Canada were stupid enough to call what they did to their native people a genocide, so now whenever Canada says to another country 'stop your genocide' they can say 'Well look how you treat your native people.'"

[02:25] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR]: The opposite of an asset is a liability. [02:25] schestowitz[TR] that too [02:25] DaemonFC It would be better to call credit cards "liability cards". [02:25] schestowitz[TR] even worse [02:25] schestowitz[TR] at the mercy of medical bills [02:25] schestowitz[TR] on the verge of nothingness [02:25] DaemonFC It's a bad idea to move medical bills you can't pay to a "credit card" you can't pay. [02:25] schestowitz[TR] the MSM is playing off the latest bad Januaryy [02:26] schestowitz[TR] like the economy is "booming" [02:26] DaemonFC They'll pressure you to, but the truth is it's much worse to owe delinquent card debt than medical. [02:26] schestowitz[TR] which in turn discredits the media [02:26] Sompi And a country cannot be really independent without an own central bank and a currency that is associated with it [02:26] Sompi And also, without them the parliament cannot really control how much the country is in debt [02:26] DaemonFC The very worst that could happen is the medical debt eventually gets 8-9% interest if they pursue it. Many don't because there's so many that owe them more. [02:27] DaemonFC But you put that shit on a credit card it's at 23-24% sometimes the next month. [02:27] schestowitz[TR] Sompi: it is a systemic issue [02:27] schestowitz[TR] the mindset that [02:27] schestowitz[TR] a) people should borrow [02:27] schestowitz[TR] common one is, mortgage [02:27] DaemonFC It'll rack that up as you get further and further behind. Then they cut off the card, rack it up at $40 a month plus penalty interest at 30%. [02:27] schestowitz[TR] like, 30-year loans [02:27] DaemonFC Then they'll "charge it off" and then get statutory interest on that. [02:27] schestowitz[TR] b) businesses should borrow [02:27] DaemonFC So moving medical debt to a credit card is a bad call. [02:28] schestowitz[TR] c) states should have major deficit [02:28] schestowitz[TR] that leads to austerity [02:28] Sompi schestowitz[TR]: The bigger problem is the mindset that state economy is equivalent to a economy of a private company [02:28] DaemonFC And once it's credit card debt, FICO scores it worse on your credit score. [02:28] schestowitz[TR] instead of a-c living within their means [02:28] Sompi When in reality it isn't, or at least shouldn't be [02:28] DaemonFC Also, medical debt can never be assumed to have been caused by "fraud".

[20:55] DaemonFC Almost all of the attacks against Kiwi Farms are from some pedophile that thought nobody would ever catch onto them if they ONLY publicly posted about it on Twitter and Instagram and stuff. [20:55] DaemonFC Typically they claim the same sort of bullshit that Lobster is trying on you. [20:55] DaemonFC You can't screenshot someone's Twitter. [20:57] DaemonFC It's some pretty sick shit that they post publicly and then they wonder why suddenly everyone knows they like little kids after they posted about it on Twitter or something. [20:58] DaemonFC Basically "how to get away with a crime 101" should include "And don't post a video about it on Facebook." I feel this should be included. [20:59] DaemonFC The police love Facebook because all the dumbest people go there and spill. ● Jan 27 [21:00] DaemonFC Like that woman that used Facebook messenger to talk to her daughter about an abortion, and then the state prosecutor just hits Facebook and they turn over the chats. [21:00] DaemonFC And now the mother and daughter are in prison. [21:03] DaemonFC MinceR: Well, private schools get a bad reputation, but it's mostly from the fat worthless overpaid teacher's union people. [21:03] DaemonFC The people that end up in private school were all having issues that public schools don't help resolve. [21:04] DaemonFC Like, bullying, the people who end up having to drop out of public school were on the receiving end, and the system is set up to help the bully not get in any trouble for it. [21:04] DaemonFC The government doesn't want people to get in any trouble for being a sadistic fuck because later on when they go recruiting in the high schools for the military, they want those people where they can find them. [21:04] DaemonFC So it's the victim that gets treated like an offender. [21:05] DaemonFC So what you find in the school disciplinary system is that the worst kids go to public school, where they stay, and the administration circles the wagons around them if they have to deal with any allegations. [21:07] DaemonFC This is helped along by the fact that if you start causing severe behavioral issues in a private school, they just throw you out so that the others will learn their assignments and then you have to go to the island of misfit toys where people who are utterly poor send kids who are growing up to be rapists, bank robbers, carjackers, and pedos, because the public school has to enroll them by law. [21:07] DaemonFC By the second time I was in private school, things settled down. [21:09] DaemonFC Our teacher was very nice, there wasn't any shuffling around from one classroom to the next, most of the kids there were not thriving well in public school because they were missing out on the "criminal proclivity" genes like most of the trash that they had to endure while they were there, and the worst thing you could maybe say about anyone in that school was they might be on the spectrum or something. But it was all at grade level. [21:09] DaemonFC I mean, you still learned grade level math and everything, it's not like what Canada probably did with the lobster and stuck him in the Special Ed to shove crayons up his nose. [21:11] DaemonFC I've seen less passable women than the lobster, but not very many. There was this one in school that was as big as a water buffalo and about as intelligent when I was in public school for a few years. [21:11] DaemonFC People stopped bothering to make fun of you for getting beaten up by a girl because she was so retarded that she got held back like 3 grades by that point and had gone through puberty and was still in 5th grade. [21:12] DaemonFC I think her name was Robin Jones. [21:12] DaemonFC Or Robyn. [21:12] DaemonFC I don't recall the spelling. [21:12] DaemonFC She probably grew up to be the hippo woman from Rocko's Modern Life. [21:12] DaemonFC "HOW DARE YOU!" [21:12] DaemonFC Living in a trailer somewhere. Chain smoking.

[21:27] schestowitz[TR] "The new detail was provided in vaguely worded language included in a post Microsoft published on Thursday. It expanded on a disclosure Microsoft published late last Friday.

[21:27] schestowitz[TR] " [21:27] DaemonFC The schools tried to change math so that it doesn't make any sense at all, based on prompting from a fraud who dropped out of college (Bill Gates). [21:27] DaemonFC So maybe this is what's gone wrong. [21:28] DaemonFC They don't want your parents helping you, or being able to help you, with your homework, despite having learned everything they should have learned in K-12, more or less. [21:28] DaemonFC Because the ultimate goal of the State is to sweep the parents aside, make them irrelevant, and have the child all to themselves. [21:29] DaemonFC They really want to supplant the idea of mother and father entirely. This is where "Parent 1" and "Parent 2" came from. [21:30] DaemonFC They change the language, bog "Parent 1 and Parent 2" down with so much work they can't even see the kid, and then replace "Parent 1 and 2" with "Head Start" and "New Math" making them wholly irrelevant. [21:30] DaemonFC Except to pay and pay to feed and clothe and house children they have no role in raising anymore. [21:31] DaemonFC Make no mistake, "Universal Pre-K" is a State takeover of preschool because when the government isn't running that, they miss formative years where they can brainwash the child. This is not acceptable. [21:33] DaemonFC This is a scheme to destroy individualism and self-reliance. The government does it in other ways too. Like saying you owe $8,000 a year "property tax" on "the home you own" and that you're not allowed to have a vegetable garden or capture rain in barrels. [21:33] DaemonFC The government also chips away at gun rights because it doesn't want an armed public that is any threat at all to government agents. [21:34] DaemonFC It wants us to be more like the UK where the police have such a docile and controllable population that they can make life horrendous and still send out cops that don't have any guns. Their main problem is there were so many guns already they'll never find them all. [21:35] DaemonFC Consider this. The attitude of that lady cop in London that was upbraiding that gentleman that was playing the piano at the mall on behalf of some Red Chinese who acted as though they came to the UK and took Chinese law with them (because they did!). [21:35] DaemonFC She's standing there, without a gun! A lady cop with no gun, stepping forward, breathing down someone's neck, yelling at him on behalf of some Communists when he hasn't even broken a law. [21:36] DaemonFC No cop in the US would be this stupid. [21:36] DaemonFC In the US when they want to get fresh with you, they've got their hand on their gun for effect. [21:37] DaemonFC At least when they want to be intimidating, they have to have some credible way to back it up. [21:37] DaemonFC In the UK, they don't. [21:37] DaemonFC If that lady cop in the London Met got in some black guy's face in Chicago he would have just busted her up real good or shot her, honestly. They do that with the ones who are armed. [21:38] DaemonFC She wouldn't have taken that attitude, I guarantee it. [21:38] DaemonFC Here they just shoot the cops and run off.

[23:03] schestowitz[TR] hence the severity [23:03] DaemonFC Not many countries are going to sign onto something that infringes on their sovereignty. [23:03] DaemonFC So you have alleged "world courts" that can't make anyone do anything. [23:04] DaemonFC They can rule however they want but it's symbolic. [23:04] DaemonFC You have things like UNSC, where five countries veto almost everything that comes up. [23:04] DaemonFC So the UNSC doesn't matter and groups of similarly-minded countries get together and deal with the problems themselves.

[23:06] schestowitz[TR] i was grossed out [23:06] DaemonFC One of the few actual reasons for the US to stay in the UN is the veto power on the UNSC. [23:06] schestowitz[TR] when some sites I followed pleaded for the rights of terrorisms [23:06] DaemonFC But that's costing us too much money for what it's worth. [23:06] schestowitz[TR] *terrorists rather [23:06] DaemonFC It's become a sort of blackmail. [23:06] schestowitz[TR] in that context, [23:06] schestowitz[TR] it's people shooting rockers at boats of all flags [23:06] DaemonFC Pay your dues or Russia and China take over and the UN becomes a puppet for autocrats and Communists. [23:06] schestowitz[TR] oil, cargo, anytthing [23:07] schestowitz[TR] even russian boats [23:07] schestowitz[TR] at ranndom [23:07] DaemonFC So we stay and make sure that it doesn't do anything at all. [23:07] schestowitz[TR] pretending attacking boats is like "activism" [23:07] schestowitz[TR] so why not shoot reckons back at thee terroriists? [23:07] schestowitz[TR] while they actively do all this?

[23:16] DaemonFC They have immunity if anything illegal ends up being there as long as they remove it upon becoming aware of it. [23:16] TR News Microsoft/Github is mostly by/for newbs who "can't git"; it's why many of the projects there use toy P/Ls and have lousy licences. The "grown-ups" don't use Github.

[23:17] schestowitz[TR] see the many articles re taylor swift [23:17] schestowitz[TR] and how slow they were to remove fake nudes [23:17] DaemonFC Reddit harvests IP addresses and god knows what they grab from your phone. [23:17] DaemonFC So they log everything you look at. [23:17] schestowitz[TR] after perhaps 100 million people saw these [23:17] schestowitz[TR] many assumed those were real [23:17] schestowitz[TR] DaemonFC: yes [23:17] schestowitz[TR] it is also why they sell data [23:17] DaemonFC Which means they have immunity if someone uploads CP but you have no immunity from accidentally seeing it on Reddit, in their app, where you are personally identified and logged. [23:17] schestowitz[TR] and their site demands JS [23:18] DaemonFC So the best thing to do is not look at Reddit. [23:18] schestowitz[TR] is old.reddit still working? [23:18] schestowitz[TR] for how llong? [23:18] DaemonFC Yeah, it is. [23:18] schestowitz[TR] twitter killed mobile.twitter.com in 2020 [23:18] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR]: New and Old Reddit work in Tor Browser. [23:19] DaemonFC So when I go to Reddit, I use Tor Browser on top of a VPN server in another country. [23:19] schestowitz[TR] i don't trust tor enough [23:19] schestowitz[TR] and neither should you [23:19] schestowitz[TR] tor is ok when [23:19] DaemonFC With a fake account leading back to a fake email address that I only ever access through Tor Browser over a VPN.

[23:19] schestowitz[TR] i spoke to the police the other day [23:19] schestowitz[TR] and they told me [23:19] schestowitz[TR] if someone uses vpn [23:20] schestowitz[TR] or tor [23:20] schestowitz[TR] it takes them a lot of work [23:20] schestowitz[TR] i may cover this in the future [23:20] DaemonFC Of course it does. [23:20] schestowitz[TR] in manchester they have a cybercrime team [23:20] schestowitz[TR] i was talking to them [23:20] DaemonFC It involves encryption and multiple jurisdictions. [23:20] schestowitz[TR] they told me how long it takes [23:20] DaemonFC So even if the VPN does log and know who you are, the police have to deal with something in another country. [23:20] schestowitz[TR] not just to get the technical obstacles [23:20] schestowitz[TR] but the legal paperwork [23:20] schestowitz[TR] to unmask the people who commited crimes [23:20] schestowitz[TR] ahgainst me [23:21] schestowitz[TR] my wife [23:21] schestowitz[TR] and others [23:21] schestowitz[TR] like, for example [23:21] schestowitz[TR] harassment online, cracking attempts, harassment of relatives [23:21] schestowitz[TR] so it's a matter of [23:21] schestowitz[TR] 1) time [23:21] schestowitz[TR] 2) cost [23:21] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR]: At the very least, it makes it a hassle for them. [23:21] DaemonFC Not lending itself to automated or very crude policing tactics. [23:21] schestowitz[TR] and they would rather focus on murder cases [23:21] schestowitz[TR] before acctivist sites [23:21] DaemonFC Yeah, that's what you're going for. [23:21] schestowitz[TR] so tor created a cast thicket [23:22] schestowitz[TR] like, it takes more time [23:22] schestowitz[TR] hence more money [23:22] schestowitz[TR] to unmask [23:22] DaemonFC It's more work for them. They have SRS BSNS going on at the police station. [23:22] schestowitz[TR] but we have leaks [23:22] DaemonFC You're just not that important. [23:22] DaemonFC That's the idea.

[23:22] schestowitz[TR] in their own words [23:22] schestowitz[TR] so it's not a lack of evidence [23:22] schestowitz[TR] anyway, back to original topic, reddit [23:22] schestowitz[TR] the company is conde nast [23:23] schestowitz[TR] they have magazines [23:23] schestowitz[TR] and "b2b" [23:23] schestowitz[TR] you know aht that is, right?
