[00:18]	DaemonFC	The woke crowd has managed to convince almost half of all Black people that White people either have no right to exist at all or they're "not sure".
[00:18]	DaemonFC	That's what the story should be focusing on.
[00:18]	DaemonFC	Half the Black population wants you to kill yourself or isn't sure, and you're supposed to react to this somehow other than by calling that portion some kind of a hate group?

[00:45]	DaemonFC	MinceR, I noticed that the Euro coffee cups are actually convenient if you think about it.
[00:46]	DaemonFC	The correct strength of coffee is 1.5 Tablespoons per US cup, so if you convert that to Euro cups on the reservoir of the Moccamaster, you put 1 Tbsp of coffee in per Euro cup to get to the recommended strength on the bag of Dunkin' Donuts coffee.
[00:47]	DaemonFC	So instead of getting something weird like I want to make 5 cups so I need 7.5 Tablespoons of coffee....
[00:47]	DaemonFC	It always comes out to 1 Tbsp per Euro cup.
[00:48]	DaemonFC	And nobody even sells "American cups" of coffee anymore.
[00:48]	DaemonFC	Most of the coffee mugs are 2-4x a "cup" so the "cup" is almost meaningless.
[00:48]	DaemonFC	This is a problem with older cookbooks.
[00:49]	DaemonFC	I was making a recipe and I came across "use a coffee cup of" something and I had to call my mom and say "What the hell do they mean a coffee cup? I have 10 different sized cups!".

[01:27]	DaemonFC	"If the quality of the US' weapons is anything like that of their cars, then I'd advise all non-western countries not to buy them, and advise all western countries to replace their other superior weapons with the more expensive and unreliable inferior US ones."
[01:27]	DaemonFC	A comment on RT about American tanks.
[01:27]	DaemonFC	They pretty much wiped out all of the T-72s in Iraq without losing a single Abrams.
[01:27]	DaemonFC	So we know they're at least good enough to do that.
[01:29]	XRevan86	DaemonFC: RT is only good to "hate-read" (like "hate-watch" but read). Or to look for the Russian shills, like a certain Sy Hersh.
[01:29]	DaemonFC	Russia has already lost half of their tanks and there aren't even any modern European and American tanks in the country yet.
[01:29]	DaemonFC	When there are, they can lose their other half. :)

[01:30]	DaemonFC	The newest thing actually delivered to Ukraine are some T-72 refits to bring them up to standards where they can function as NATO equipment.
[01:30]	DaemonFC	And that's already a lot better than most of the Russian stuff.
[01:30]	XRevan86	DaemonFC: activelow will tell you Russia has developed a new ~pathetic~ Wunderwaffe that will obliterate all the Western tanks.
[01:30]	DaemonFC	But they haven't seen what's coming for them yet.

[01:32]	DaemonFC	Some of the pilots would have lived except that the ejection seats tend to work about half the time and the other half either don't fire or send the pilot through the hatch that failed to blow off.

[01:33]	DaemonFC	The ejection seats work as designed about 99.7% of the time.
[01:34]	DaemonFC	They shouldn't make the mistake of confusing our tanks with our cars.
[01:34]	DaemonFC	Our tanks work fine.
[01:34]	DaemonFC	They'll find out.
[01:34]	XRevan86	DaemonFC: No, some wheeled drone with a gun is supposed to brings the tanks down.
[01:34]	TR News	"Having spent most of the last two decades in the deeply unfulfilling social-media focused online spaces, taking the defaults offered to me, I'm working on spreading myself thin: posting on social media I don't hate (right now: mastodon, cohost), writing on my website and in geminispace" gemini://midnight.pub/posts/1276
[01:34]	DaemonFC	Which one will do that?
[01:34]	DaemonFC	They do have armor that's quite good.
[01:35]	DaemonFC	We've had years to figure this out and the unlimited budget from Congress probably helped too.
[01:35]	DaemonFC	Our tanks are modern and haven't dry rotted.
[01:35]	XRevan86	DaemonFC: Promise not to laugh.

[04:18]	DaemonFC	The RCA sets were considered an investment. You bought a TV, you planned to keep it for 40 years or more.
[04:18]	DaemonFC	You had it serviced at a TV repair shop, usually wasn't invasive. They could send someone to your house and get it working again.
[04:19]	DaemonFC	Now you see all of these fucking Chinese flatscreens that don't work and aren't even old. People throw them in someone's lawn.

[04:20]	schestowitz[TR]	see my earlier rant
[04:20]	schestowitz[TR]	<techrights-news> Economy crashing down is now euphemised by AP as "slow economic growth". WHO COMES UP WITH THIS SPIN? They even call shrinkage "growth"
[04:20]	schestowitz[TR]	in corporate media,

[04:20]	schestowitz[TR]	even the bad news is good

[04:20]	DaemonFC	Yes, the world economy is falling over like a building beind dynamited.
[04:20]	schestowitz[TR]	NEVER BEEN LOWER!
[04:20]	schestowitz[TR]	It's SO low that...
[04:20]	DaemonFC	And they say "Maybe growth will slow this year!"
[04:20]	schestowitz[TR]	people don't bother looking for a job!
[04:21]	DaemonFC	Like it's some minor hiccup or something.
[04:21]	schestowitz[TR]	yeah
[04:21]	schestowitz[TR]	"JOBS"
[04:21]	schestowitz[TR]	in german, basf layoffs
[04:21]	DaemonFC	It's worse than 2008. What's changed is that the media is a bunch of total fucking bastards and liars now.
[04:21]	schestowitz[TR]	in sweden, now ericsson
[04:21]	schestowitz[TR]	media: UNEMPLOYMENT IS LOW!!
[04:21]	schestowitz[TR]	"celebrate, peasants!!"
[04:22]	schestowitz[TR]	in 2008, wahpo was not owned by bezos
[04:22]	schestowitz[TR]	since then bill gates bought lots of media
[04:22]	schestowitz[TR]	inmc. bbc, guardian etc.
[04:22]	schestowitz[TR]	around 2010
[04:22]	schestowitz[TR]	so they follow "the script"
[04:23]	schestowitz[TR]	every other narrative seems outlandish
[04:23]	schestowitz[TR]	it contradicts the "established" media
[04:23]	schestowitz[TR]	that the billionaires bought

[04:23]	schestowitz[TR]	"conpriracy theory"

[04:24]	schestowitz[TR]	we have about 45 million, if not less, in that age range

[04:24]	schestowitz[TR]	a million or so unable to work foor health reasons

[04:24]	DaemonFC	There's now a code that goes into your medical files in the US.
[04:24]	schestowitz[TR]	irrespective of reason
[04:24]	schestowitz[TR]	some stay-at-house housewives cannot work
[04:24]	DaemonFC	For "unvaccinated for COVID-19".
[04:25]	schestowitz[TR]	because sending kids to daycare is too expensive
[04:25]	schestowitz[TR]	like 900 pounds
[04:25]	schestowitz[TR]	and a salary part time is the same
[04:25]	DaemonFC	Yeah, daycare is so expensive it's not even worth having a job.
[04:25]	schestowitz[TR]	you can stay at home and save that money
[04:25]	DaemonFC	You'll just turn over the entire second income to some pervert.
[04:25]	schestowitz[TR]	or go to work to pay for the kids being taken care of whiule you work
[04:25]	schestowitz[TR]	you basically work to not work with the kidsa
[04:25]	schestowitz[TR]	and the salary is wiped
[04:26]	schestowitz[TR]	some people go to work just to pay for the car they go to work with
[04:26]	schestowitz[TR]	or a mortgage
[04:26]	schestowitz[TR]	and cars depreciate in value fast
[04:26]	schestowitz[TR]	if people work to live, that should mean people work do they have ample time for themselves later
[04:26]	schestowitz[TR]	this is not what's happening
[04:26]	schestowitz[TR]	the 9 to 5 types
[04:26]	schestowitz[TR]	are 8-to-6 types
[04:26]	schestowitz[TR]	communiting
[04:26]	schestowitz[TR]	no more WFH
[04:26]	schestowitz[TR]	and weekends are laundry etc.
[04:27]	DaemonFC	If 72,000 restaurants (net) failed and never came back in the US and 20 people worked each one.
[04:27]	schestowitz[TR]	so even weekends are just catchup time
[04:27]	schestowitz[TR]	you wake up 6am to get to ther office
[04:27]	schestowitz[TR]	go to sleep 10pm
[04:27]	DaemonFC	That's over 1.4 million jobs.
[04:27]	schestowitz[TR]	get back home 7ish, after buying food
[04:27]	DaemonFC	And they expect another 1,000 will fail this year.
[04:27]	schestowitz[TR]	so what you have left is maybe 2 hours to see the kids
[04:27]	schestowitz[TR]	and they call it "millenials have it easy"
[04:27]	DaemonFC	So where did all these people go work at? And better yet, what about the people they can't pay?
[04:28]	schestowitz[TR]	DaemonFC: not many eateries/diners left
[04:28]	schestowitz[TR]	even established ones shrank
[04:28]	schestowitz[TR]	they barely look for workers
[04:28]	schestowitz[TR]	and people who can cook and serve won't apply
[04:28]	schestowitz[TR]	so they won't count as out of work
[04:28]	DaemonFC	Yeah, the US is down 10% of its restaurants I'm told.
[04:28]	DaemonFC	90% of what was there in 2019.
[04:28]	schestowitz[TR]	the oligarchs' media controls or dominates the narratives
[04:28]	DaemonFC	"Recovery" has leveled off.
[04:28]	DaemonFC	:)

[05:11]	phanes	I think you're making some assumptions.  There is no trust that I have to have to honor an NDA.  I simply am maintaining that I am trustable with information.
[05:11]	schestowitz[TR]	siirus was the first time i spoke out against a former or existing employer
[05:12]	phanes	Now granted, I see the futility of arguing this with someone who thinks its okay to post private messages in a public chat, so, it's clear you'll never hold a security clearance or be a part on an NDA, so, it must be only bad people that do it, but, secrecy is just as important as openness depending on context and how its used.
[05:13]	phanes	You have done that by the way. To me, even.
[05:14]	phanes	An NDA is just a document for "We are willing to share secrets with you if you promise not to tell them for a period of time under contract".  Your credibility becomes bonded. 
[05:14]	phanes	If you have no credibility, it's hard to see the utility of it.
[05:14]	phanes	But when you do, it becomes very important to honor it.
[05:14]	phanes	Even if it's for people you don't like.
[05:15]	phanes	Not because you got bought, but because you put your credibility on the test for it.  Every NDA is a test of your character.
[05:15]	phanes	Every NDA I've ever signed could have been turned into a wall street article.  
[05:16]	phanes	If I had done that, even once, I'd never get exposed to information again that would allow me to do the cool things I enjoy doing for companies.

[05:26]	schestowitz[TR]	when did amazon fire 100 or 100 aws staff?

[05:27]	phanes	arguably besides maybe GCP, Azure is the worst CSP
[05:27]	schestowitz[TR]	hard to know how many PIA still employs
[05:27]	phanes	of the big ones anyway
[05:27]	schestowitz[TR]	their bloggers seem to have left
[05:27]	schestowitz[TR]	they cut budget for that
[05:28]	phanes	why does it matter how PIA is doing anyway, they were never terribly relevant 
[05:28]	schestowitz[TR]	need to scroll up to see how it started
[05:28]	schestowitz[TR]	and why pia came up
[05:28]	schestowitz[TR]	freenode probab;y
[05:28]	phanes	oh maybe
[05:28]	schestowitz[TR]	DaemonFC mentioned twitter tossing out the musk boot lickers
[05:29]	schestowitz[TR]	and I said it's the same as in freenode/leenode

[05:29]	schestowitz[TR]	who even runs this network these days?

[06:50]	DaemonFC	"On Wednesday, Business Insider reported based on interviews with several anonymous and a few named self-described influencers that ByteDance was paying influencers to post content on Lemon8. Those influencers were reportedly told to emphasize three to seven vertical pictures and a long, 100 to 300-word caption for each post. This can be especially time consuming compared to apps like Instagram which require relatively little effort from

The reductions will take the number of employees from 7,000 to 3,500.
[09:45]	DaemonFC	It is the latest blow to Haitis apparel manufacturing which, while known for its T-shirts, also produces U.S.-bound hospital garments, leggings and other clothing for customers like Walmart. Since December 2021, the country has lost 11,000 apparel jobs, with more expected in the coming months, says a member of the local Association of Haiti Industries that monitors the sector.

[11:09]	schestowitz[TR]	No one, including Blue herself, has any idea what's behind the
[11:09]	schestowitz[TR]	scrubbing. BoingBoing has been conspicuously silent; despite
[11:09]	schestowitz[TR]	considerable confusion in the blogopshere, the site has not
[11:09]	schestowitz[TR]	posted about the issue or said they planned to.  Blogger and
[11:09]	schestowitz[TR]	long-time BoingBoing contributer Xeni Jardin did not respond
[11:09]	schestowitz[TR]	to an e-mail from me, and several other bloggers and writers
[11:09]	schestowitz[TR]	reported non-answers too.
[11:09]	schestowitz[TR]	Almost all of the deleted blog entries, according to Blue,
[11:09]	schestowitz[TR]	were posted not by her but by BoingBoing writers highlighting
[11:09]	schestowitz[TR]	and linking to her work. (Here's an example of a scrubbed post,

[11:09]	schestowitz[TR]	"disgusting." Not all were even about sex. The one post Blue

[21:22]	DaemonFC	Sensitivity censors have apparently gone over and vandalized James Bond novels too now.
[21:22]	DaemonFC	The defaced editions will go on sale in April.
[21:22]	DaemonFC	Thanks to pirates, we'll have the ones that were actually written.
[21:22]	DaemonFC	One of the woke edits implies that it's impossible for Black people to be drunk and disorderly like anyone else can be.
[21:22]	DaemonFC	You take a group of White people in Indiana and say they're a bunch of drunkards and everyone laughs and laughs.
[21:22]	DaemonFC	You have it in a James Bond book and they're Black, censors.
[21:22]	DaemonFC	Ryan Alcaraz
[21:22]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[21:22]	DaemonFC	Almost nobody abides by the law while drunk. I don't see how that passage in the Bond novel Live and Let Die is particularly offensive to Black people.
[21:22]	DaemonFC	Part of being drunk is that you aren't making the best decisions at the time. This is how a lot of police shit happens.
[21:22]	DaemonFC	Trust me, I've seen a lot of White drunkards get hauled away by the police. I'd say they're pretty law abiding chaps, really, except when they're drunk. 
[21:23]	DaemonFC	:)
[21:29]	DaemonFC	I'm glad I don't have to understand alcoholism.
[21:29]	DaemonFC	I guess I'm just not that Irish.
[21:29]	DaemonFC	Their whiskey sucks anyway.
[21:31]	DaemonFC	Now, William H. Macy is one of those actors that deserves all the awards he's gotten and probably a couple more.
[21:32]	DaemonFC	He can carry pretty much anything he's cast in, even if the plot and script are just okay.
[21:32]	DaemonFC	Hollywood is occasionally great at finding these people.
[21:32]	DaemonFC	"The movie got 60% on Rotten Tomatoes but absolutely nobody would have gone to see it without Liam Neeson."
[21:33]	DaemonFC	Rock Hudson and Charlton Heston were like that.

[21:34]	DaemonFC	So they command big salaries.
[21:34]	DaemonFC	Peter O'Toole. Sir Alec Guinness.
[21:34]	DaemonFC	I'm glad that pirates are preserving our culture.
[21:35]	DaemonFC	Because thanks to Matt GULAG's ilk, soon we won't have any.
[21:35]	DaemonFC	It's not just the shitty offensiveness of it all, with the "sensitivity edits" to appease weak woke assholes.
[21:36]	DaemonFC	It's that they obviously have stupid people doing the edits, so you're reading along and then you hit one of the edits, and they've done such an absolute shit job with the edit, it's like your car going over a pothole.
[21:37]	DaemonFC	How long will it be before they ban Lawrence of Arabia or something?
[21:37]	DaemonFC	It's offensive to Arabs. Can't have that. Bye!
[21:40]	DaemonFC	Ryan Alcaraz
[21:40]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[21:40]	DaemonFC	Lawrence of Arabia has held up so well that Sony Pictures spent almost as much money remastering it and cleaning up the film as a movie budget got in the 90s, to do the whole thing from scratch!
[21:40]	DaemonFC	They did it in 2011 on the 50th anniversary.
[21:40]	DaemonFC	I must have seen this version at least 3-4 times. They did an outstanding job with it.

[21:45]	DaemonFC	The woke book edits are just too easy to make fun of, although they're scary.
[21:45]	DaemonFC	There's actually people out there that think if you go all Fahrenheit 451, there won't be any fat people, there won't be attractive women, there won't even be women for that matter (or men).
[21:45]	DaemonFC	You can make it totally impossible for Black people to drink too much alcohol and get rowdy by changing books, you know.
[21:45]	DaemonFC	It just can't happen. Because of book vandalism, Black people (and only them) can't get drunk anymore.
[21:48]	DaemonFC	Ryan Alcaraz
[21:48]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[21:48]	DaemonFC	Obviously, if you wrote a book today it would be a little less harsh in some of these cases, but that doesn't give you a license to go back and alter the past.
[21:48]	DaemonFC	It just is what it is, and by whitewashing everything, you're making it look like those people always had acceptable views, and then what are you raging against? 
[21:48]	DaemonFC	After all, there were no racists in the 60s. 
[21:48]	DaemonFC	You've edited them out with your Fahrenheit 451 "fire men", Inclusive Minds.

[21:50]	DaemonFC	It really shows what a bunch of degenerate assholes graduate college and go to work copyediting these books when they can't do a better censorship job than ChatGPT.
[21:50]	DaemonFC	I mean, you won't even get paid to vandalize soon because the company can just give it to some shitty language model that can completely dig up the author and piss on him and re-bury him automatically without being paid.

[21:51]	DaemonFC	If true, that means that they're at 1,800 people now. 
[21:51]	DaemonFC	I mean, there's no doubt it was bloated.
[21:52]	DaemonFC	But I think he's firing too many people, at random, and largely over personal grudges.

[22:03]	DaemonFC	Ryan Alcaraz
[22:03]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[22:03]	DaemonFC	What's going on with Hollywood and literature right now is like farmers doing "Shoot, Shovel, and Shut Up" when they find an endangered species on their land.
[22:03]	DaemonFC	They did some awful things in the past and now it's time to burn and bury all of the evidence so you can't accuse them of ever having done anything wrong.
[22:07]	DaemonFC	Ryan Alcaraz
[22:07]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[22:07]	DaemonFC	NPR's American Ocelot sort of vaguely referenced the unintended effect of the American Endangered Species Act.
[22:07]	DaemonFC	If you find an endangered species on millions of dollars worth of farm land or cattle grazing land or a ranch or whatever, you're supposed to report it and let the government come in and deal with it, but these folks know how heavy handed the feds are and they shout "Like Hell!" and just kill the animals themselves and bury them so that nobody interferes with their use of land.
[22:07]	DaemonFC	Ryan Alcaraz
[22:07]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[22:07]	DaemonFC	Of course, Shoot, Shovel, and Shut Up is highly illegal, but it happens all the time.
[22:07]	DaemonFC	Some people have been caught and convicted of it, and punished severely, but the odds of the police solving any of these crimes is so slim that when you're facing the loss of use of gigantic amounts of farmland, without compensation from the government, the Endangered Species Act is a perverse incentive to kill the animals.
[22:07]	DaemonFC	Penn & Teller had an episode of Bullshit! about the ESA.
[22:09]	DaemonFC	Ryan Alcaraz
[22:09]	DaemonFC	@DaemonFC
[22:09]	DaemonFC	Big Government tries to portray on the successes, never the failures.
[22:09]	DaemonFC	They promote "25 million lives" allegedly saved by PEPFAR, not millions more who died due to drug patents.
[22:09]	DaemonFC	They promote ESA for saving bald eagles, but ignore the fact that farmers and ranchers have driven hundreds of species to extinction or close to because of it.
[22:09]	DaemonFC	They promote the success of the Paycheck Protection Act, not how half of it was stolen by criminals and landlords.
[22:09]	DaemonFC	There's a pattern, and statists eat it up.
[22:10]	DaemonFC	MinceR, ^
[22:11]	MinceR	yeah
[22:14]	DaemonFC	It's not that these programs do no good.
[22:14]	DaemonFC	It's that they do at least equal, sometimes greater, harm, somewhere else.
[22:15]	DaemonFC	So you end up in a situation where nobody wants to scrap it because there's some good, but they aren't very happy with the negative results, but they won't say that.
[22:16]	DaemonFC	With this new EARN IT Act, the alleged purpose is to go after child sex offenders. And anyone in their right mind wants them all in prison, but there's enough unenforced laws on the books to do that today and make sure they never get out.
[22:16]	DaemonFC	The purpose of the EARN IT Act is to make it impossible to retain any of your privacy from the government and the tech companies.
[22:16]	DaemonFC	The tech companies have no reason to fight because it enables them to gather data and spy on us like they've never been able to before.
[22:16]	DaemonFC	And both they and the government can say "CSAM" if anyone complains, and shut that down immediately.
[22:17]	DaemonFC	mjg59_ laid the foundation to support EARN IT with his "secure boot" crap.
[22:17]	DaemonFC	And now with Pluton.
[22:17]	DaemonFC	They want to make it impossible to get rid of any of the spyware that comes with a consumer-facing PC.

[22:45]	DaemonFC	Ready to go.
[22:46]	DaemonFC	The thinking goes that when you're ready to unleash it on an enemy country, you quickly spin up a mass vaccination campaign to make sure not many of your citizens die of it.

[22:46]	TR Bot	 Quick, before the germs escape!
[22:46]	DaemonFC	The Chinese leaked out a biowarfare agent before they had a functional vaccine.
[22:46]	DaemonFC	And then everyone panicked and created really shitty vaccines fast.
[22:47]	DaemonFC	You can have a vaccine of sorts to most things very quickly, if you're willing to accept that they have a lot of side effects and hardly work.
[22:47]	DaemonFC	If we were willing to accept a 28% efficacy rate, we'd have an HIV vaccine tomorrow.
[22:47]	DaemonFC	This is basically what happened with COVID shots.
[22:48]	DaemonFC	And then they (1) call everyone who says there's side effects kooks and liars, even if it's because they personally witnessed it (gaslighting) and (2) call them 95% effective while everyone is getting COVID anyway and it's still awful.
[22:49]	DaemonFC	mjg59_ is clearly part of this problem.
[22:49]	DaemonFC	What's the goddamned point of all of these shots? That last one was worse on Mandy than fucking COVID, and he had to use sick days for the shot, and so on and so forth.
[22:49]	DaemonFC	He barely woke up for three days after updated booster.

[22:54]	DaemonFC	Yeah, it's difficult to have a war and a pandemic.
[22:54]	DaemonFC	So "pandemic over".
[22:54]	DaemonFC	"Back to work."
[22:54]	DaemonFC	Pay your taxes and unlimited suffering so we can dump $200 billion on Ukraine.
[22:55]	immibis	did you know landlords didn't pay over a billion dollars of mortgages because people are working from home?
[22:55]	DaemonFC	What's that? Where did half of it go? LALALA
[22:55]	DaemonFC	<immibis> did you know landlords didn't pay over a billion dollars of mortgages because people are working from home?
[22:55]	DaemonFC	Yeah, the company that owns the mall in Gurnee is in deep shit.
[22:55]	immibis	oh those two things are unrelated. There wouldn't be any money for American people, no matter whether there was money for Ukrainian people or not
[22:55]	DaemonFC	Most of their malls are so bad now that they're at half capacity or less.
[22:56]	immibis	it's not like the money for Ukraine is what's holding up the money for America
[22:56]	DaemonFC	In some cases, they can't rent out the space so they turn them over to the city and run a school and a police department office there.
[22:56]	DaemonFC	Gurnee was so desperate to get an anchor tenant for Gurnee Mills that the city paid $58,000 in taxpayer-funded incentives to the company per job.
[22:57]	DaemonFC	$58,000 in tax money, per job, so they'd open a store and make money.
[22:57]	DaemonFC	And those jobs only pay about $22,000 per year.
[22:57]	immibis	capitalism
[22:58]	DaemonFC	So it's like the city saying we'll pay for all of your salaries for three years if you open a fucking arts and crafts store ran by criminals who paid to have artifacts smuggled from Iraq and are fighting to turn the United States into Fundamentalist Christian clone of Iran.

"Just tell us what happened" well my view of "everything that happened" includes more things I did wrong than they did wrong, just because I was there for the things I did wrong. So the defendant was acquitted, or something like that, idk exactly as I was outside of the courtroom for most of it due to being a witness, and it was in German anyway.
[23:34]	immibis	they had to pay my legal fees (about $800) but nothing more than that
[23:35]	immibis	and then my lawyer said if I'd embellished the truth, they could've been in jail. I'm not going to "embellish the truth", but next time I probably won't describe everything I remember about the event, either.
[23:51]	DaemonFC	Yeah, the cops usually encourage the "complaining witness" to lie and give them more dirt on you.
[23:53]	DaemonFC	One time, a cop was trying to get someone to say I raped him and the guy didn't get the hint that the cop was trying to frame me for rape. So he told the cop "No, of course he didn't rape me! We had sex, but there was no rape.".
[23:53]	DaemonFC	And so the cop writes down in the report that "Complaining witness denies having been raped and claims that all sex was consensual.". Like, just putting the word "rape" in the police report makes it worse even if there's nothing to charge you with.
[23:54]	DaemonFC	Then to get there and imply there was rape, he insinuates that their own witness was lying to them and downplaying things.
[23:54]	DaemonFC	Like, they're already in a police station complaining about something and do you think they're going to leave out a major crime while they're TRYING to destroy me?
[23:54]	DaemonFC	Fucking hello.
[23:55]	DaemonFC	Cops hate gay people.
[23:55]	DaemonFC	No matter what they're actually charging you with, they'll try to invent things out of thin air to make it worse.
[23:55]	DaemonFC	There's not very many gay cops because they get hazed and harassed and chased out by the other cops.
[23:56]	DaemonFC	It's a toxic work environment because the cops don't tolerate gay cops.
[23:56]	DaemonFC	Either you leave NOW or they'll make you leave somehow.
[23:57]	DaemonFC	Trying to be a gay cop in America in 2023 is like trying to be a black cop in 1955.
[23:57]	DaemonFC	Maybe there was one somewhere but I've sure never seen any in photos.
[23:58]	DaemonFC	If you aren't like, to the right of Hitler, the cops don't want you there and will fuck with you until you leave.
[23:58]	DaemonFC	That's why so many of the cops are on those leaked lists of Domestic Terrorists, in the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys.
[23:59]	DaemonFC	Like 90% of the cops, if not more, are Republicans.
