[00:01] DaemonFC So they're buying venison that is basically unregulated. There's no telling what kind of deer they got it from or if they've stored it safely. [00:01] DaemonFC I've eaten deer meat before. It's not my favorite. You have to soak it in milk to draw out the "gamey" taste and then you have to throw out the milk. [00:03] DaemonFC I used to go fishing at the reservoirs and haul it all back to the house and bread it and deep fry it. It was pretty good. But they said that you should eat it no more than about 5 times that year to keep your exposure to mercury down. [00:04] DaemonFC Like I said, you know, everything modern humans do fucks up the environment in ways that can only be seen by people who have direct exposure to what they're eating. [00:04] DaemonFC So the liberals have no idea what the real threats are. [00:04] DaemonFC It's not climate change, it's toxic waste. [00:05] DaemonFC But the government has regulated this toxic waste to the point where it gets out there and contaminates the fish and then even if you have a big haul, you can't eat all of it. [00:05] DaemonFC And there's a lot of bad things in the drinking water, which is all perfectly legal you know. [00:06] DaemonFC Why's it legal? It would cost the government something if they did something about it. Like, lead. [00:06] DaemonFC The last thing the government actually cares about is how much lead is in your water. [00:06] DaemonFC They set tougher standards them they cheat to make it look like it passed.

[20:23] lord_phanes just go to your flubox menu rc file and see whats being launched [20:30] psydroid2 lord_phanes: I didn't change anything, this is pretty much a fresh install. But I'll have a look at it. I usually just run gnome-control-center once to set the default applications, although that's probably not the best way to do it. [20:31] lord_phanes no it wouldnt be [20:31] lord_phanes gnome apps are dog shit intended as a pipeline to a proprietary landscape [20:32] lord_phanes all you really need to manage fluxbox is vim and a terminal emulator but there are some addons that give you some click and drool options [20:32] lord_phanes fluxbox is a good transitionary WM to a self-created composite DE made up of a hodge podge of various otherwise unrelated utilities [20:33] lord_phanes so is XFCE, believe it or not [20:33] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR2]: The Nazi People's Court did make an appearance in both Rommel (2012) and Valkyrie (2008). I have to say I was impressed by those "judges". [20:33] lord_phanes i use i3-wm these days [20:33] DaemonFC The war is being lost, the government would collapse about half a year later. [20:34] psydroid2 I think I've found it: /etc/alternatives/open [20:34] psydroid2 and then the BROWSER line [20:34] lord_phanes did you check your gd rc file to see if that mechanism is even being used [20:37] psydroid2 I don't even know what the gd rc file [20:37] psydroid2 but this is Debian, so it probably is [20:37] lord_phanes psydroid2: go to ~/.fluxbox or ~/.config/fluxbox and look for a file called 'menu.rc' or some shit [20:38] lord_phanes the 'gd' there stands for 'god damn' as in 'god damn this is why i stopped doing end user support because end users dont listen for shit' [20:38] psydroid2 there is ~/.fluxbox/menu, but it doesn't really contain anything [20:38] lord_phanes cat it [20:39] psydroid2 [begin] (fluxbox) [include] (/etc/X11/fluxbox/fluxbox-menu) [end] [20:40] lord_phanes so check out what is there [20:40] lord_phanes cat /etc/X11/fluxbox/fluxbox-menu if its a file [20:40] psydroid2 there is no mention of Firefox in /etc/X11/fluxbox/fluxbox-menu [20:40] lord_phanes jfc [20:41] lord_phanes dude [20:41] lord_phanes maybe consider continuing to use gnome until you can do the instructions thing [20:41] psydroid2 I just want links to be opened in another browser from this IRC client [20:41] psydroid2 I haven't used GNOME in 10 years lol [20:42] lord_phanes or whatever you use that apparently doesn't require being able to troubleshoot [20:42] DaemonFC GNOME is generally tended to by people paid to work on it who are not doing it because they're Free Software people. [20:42] psydroid2 well, I can troubleshoot, but I don't know where the default applications are stored [20:42] DaemonFC It's sort of like the apple farmer who was interviewed by the news about why his apples were so bad. [20:42] psydroid2 and Firefox is something tied to GTK/GNOME [20:42] psydroid2 I'll find a way, don't worry [20:43] DaemonFC And he responded that he doesn't get paid a penny for how they taste. [20:43] lord_phanes i was about to tell you psydroid2 by showing you how to find out and you went full amber heard and shit the bed [20:43] DaemonFC I don't think that they've allowed Holly Million to write anything. [20:43] DaemonFC At least not that I've seen lately. [20:43] lord_phanes with stuff like that though its a safer assumption that they -cant- follow instructions though and isnt usually them just not listening. they literally dont know how to "try" [20:44] psydroid2 lord_phanes: it's ok, thanks for your help and I'll spend the rest of the night with amber heard shitting all over the place [20:44] lord_phanes ole psydroid2 pulled 'n amber [20:46] lord_phanes its -probably- your alternatives package at /etc/alternatives but i guess you'll have to try random shit to see [20:47] DaemonFC Why have Holly Billion when we can have.....*puts pinky to his lip*....Holly Million? [20:48] MinceR :) [20:48] lord_phanes who [20:48] DaemonFC Dr. Evil. He was always trying to ransom the world for less than the cost of his diabolical plan would cost. [20:48] DaemonFC Because he was frozen in the 1960s when money was worth more. [20:49] DaemonFC And because James Bond villains always had ridiculous plans that would cost more than the amount they wanted and bring in less than legitimate business activities, which is where Number Two came in. [20:49] lord_phanes no who is holly [20:49] DaemonFC Ahhh, the [20:49] lord_phanes i can see why you always ramble about beater cars, when you dont youre incoherent [20:49] DaemonFC "PRESIDENT OF GNOME!" [20:50] *lord_phanes pictures half the channel in the same room all huffing spray paint together when he comes here [20:53] *parsifal has quit (Quit: Leaving) [20:53] lord_phanes this time series forecast only gets like a 70% accuracy rate :/ [20:54] lord_phanes RMSE normalized to price hovers around 3.339% [20:55] lord_phanes MAPE and SMAPEs are wild though depending on the symbol, ranges between like 1% to 90% with an erratic distribution [20:57] DaemonFC MinceR: I just read an article that barely any US coal plants will shut down this year. [20:57] DaemonFC So much for President Bye-Den. [20:57] MinceR very exciting [20:57] DaemonFC He has about half a year left before he's toast. [20:57] lord_phanes yeah his career is over at the end of this presidency [20:57] DaemonFC And he's talking about setting climate change goals for the 2050s. [20:58] DaemonFC It doesn't matter how much coal capacity we shut down. [20:58] DaemonFC The Chinese are building more. They build them to typical rickety Communist standards. [20:58] DaemonFC Even more horrific than American standards for a coal plant from the 1960s. [20:58] lord_phanes lol and trump doesn't know how to handle the for. pol. issues biden created. we are going to be eating gen Y as fucking food after the wars. [20:58] DaemonFC Just build shit and build a lot of it. [20:58] DaemonFC And throw more coal in if you need more power. [20:58] DaemonFC And then gas your own citizens. [20:58] DaemonFC Then lie about the air pollution. [20:59] DaemonFC And demand climate concessions from all the other countries in a Paris Agreement that requires nothing from China. [20:59] DaemonFC Agreed to by European morons, Canadian limp-wristed idiots, and Joe Biden. ● May 27 [21:00] lord_phanes relax, that carbon tax will make the eart get gooder backer better [21:00] DaemonFC Seriously, all China has to do with the "powers that be" in the rest of the world is show up with a wish list and get everything it wants and make the rest of us suffer. [21:00] DaemonFC And the rest of the "world leaders" agree to all of it and leave and say they got meaningful concessions from the Chinese. [21:00] lord_phanes if your opponent is someone like donald trump, and youre still the dangerously bad one, you have really, really, really fucked it up [21:01] DaemonFC Apparently, meaningful concessions from China means they get to build unlimited 30% efficient coal plants with no pollution scrubbers. [21:02] DaemonFC With plans to triple the size of their Navy, and conduct carrier-killer missile tests with no repercussions. [21:03] DaemonFC It's unknown whether the US fleets could intercept Chinese long-range carrier-killer missiles. It's possible. I mean, if the US can do it they wouldn't tell anyone, if that's not possible they sure won't tell anyone. [21:05] DaemonFC Thanks to years of Democrat budgets prioritizing welfare being thrown at the "single mother" (broken) families they spent so much time encouraging, a lot of our military technologies are aging. They've held up so far mainly because the Chinese weren't undergoing an overnight modernization and the Russians rely on stuff that was built worse, and is even older, and Iranian stuff is crap. [21:05] DaemonFC And because our stuff was designed well in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. [21:05] DaemonFC But.... How much longer do we get away with this? [21:06] DaemonFC Almost certainly if we have anything that could intercept carrier-killers, it would be something like the SM-3. [21:06] DaemonFC Those are very expensive to use and most of them will miss. [21:06] lord_phanes jesus christ thats stupid [21:06] DaemonFC Meaning the fleet will have to use multiples per inbound missile. [21:06] lord_phanes why do normies always do this [21:06] lord_phanes why do you think allocation to welfare programs has any impact at all on allocation to military budgets [21:07] lord_phanes they are not mutually exclusive [21:07] DaemonFC On paper they're not. [21:07] lord_phanes nor are they comparable in scale [21:07] DaemonFC But as the deficits get larger, the money you spend on anything is worth less and less. [21:07] DaemonFC Due to inflation. [21:07] DaemonFC Which the government has been lying to us about for many years. [21:07] DaemonFC Wages stagnate too, so tax revenues drop. [21:08] lord_phanes yeah its a runaway train [21:08] lord_phanes the us gov is running amok [21:08] DaemonFC The government may raise the minimum wage once every thirty years or so. [21:08] lord_phanes this will probably end poory for most workers [21:08] lord_phanes *poorly [21:08] DaemonFC Then many people get to work for the "same" money for thirty years, while it loses 5-6% every year they do. [21:09] lord_phanes i dont understand why people do that [21:09] lord_phanes when i want a raise i go [21:09] DaemonFC The Democrats have been a terrible party for labor. They made sure that the last time a federal minimum wage bill came up, that they would get Kyrsten Sinema to kill it and then resign from Congress. [21:09] lord_phanes "hey boss. gimme dat stack" [21:09] DaemonFC Blame her, also, ou can't do anything about her. [21:10] DaemonFC Every time it comes down to a choice between improving the lives of the working class that they still claim to love so much, or losing elections and leaving us with people like Bush or Trump, they'll throw the election. [21:11] DaemonFC Because it's really the same Party in there, may as well be. [21:12] DaemonFC [15:09] "hey boss. gimme dat stack" [21:12] DaemonFC And then he says "Go work somewhere else!" and there's nowhere else. [21:12] DaemonFC :P [21:13] lord_phanes i dont have that issue [21:13] lord_phanes when i want to change jobs i just answer my phone for a couple days [21:13] DaemonFC Most people at this point are so demoralized that they do the bare minimum amount to not get fired. [21:13] DaemonFC Burger King can spend $300 million dollars on a new lobby but the lobby isn't their problem. [21:14] DaemonFC It's that they're charging too much, it's that they haven't invested in cleaning the lobby that they already have, so it's disgusting. [21:14] DaemonFC They haven't really done anything like self-service kiosks. [21:14] lord_phanes i really dont come here to brag myself up, some of you guys just have such a "disgruntled slave" mentality that it astounds me, like, why would you accept conditions like you say are mandatory, when, in fact, they're not, and i prove that constantly [21:14] DaemonFC Say what you want about McDonald's, but they invest in the bottom line. [21:15] DaemonFC lord_phanes: I got the bill for the Capital One Walmart Card this month. [21:15] DaemonFC I spent nothing there this month. [21:15] DaemonFC Not a single penny. [21:15] lord_phanes for me the key is to work in a field that you generally enjoy so that "doing the minimum" is "doing what i enjoy as long as i want", which is always more than required of you at a job you actually enjoy [21:15] DaemonFC They've crippled us. Now there will be no spending at their store. [21:16] DaemonFC They don't seem to understand the basics of running the business they're in. [21:16] lord_phanes DaemonFC - is chronically underemployed; - complains about his financial condition [21:17] DaemonFC They've squeezed and they've squeezed and as a result, nobody even shops there anymore. [21:17] DaemonFC There was no Memorial Day grocery shopping to speak of. [21:17] DaemonFC But they have the news say they're doing great. [21:17] lord_phanes so dont shop at walmart [21:17] lord_phanes i dont [21:17] DaemonFC They were stunned this year when nobody came and in fact, it was slower than the typical weekend. [21:17] lord_phanes walmart is for the poors [21:18] DaemonFC Right, I just don't spend any money I don't have to. [21:18] DaemonFC At some point you can't earn more. [21:18] lord_phanes ^ thats a lie [21:18] DaemonFC But you can pull all discretionary spending. [21:18] DaemonFC The rich are always condescending. [21:18] DaemonFC Saying people are poor because they spend money. [21:19] DaemonFC That's true of some people. [21:19] lord_phanes i mean, you do technically have an earning capacity, but, you can earn way more than youre currently earning, you just dont want to invest the time and resources to doit [21:19] DaemonFC For many people, if they pull up to Starbucks and buy a coffee per day, they'll be broke by the end of the month. [21:19] DaemonFC If they knock that type of thing off, some of the pain goes away for very little sacrifice. [21:20] DaemonFC My cousin got in trouble with Credit One Bank (among all the other problems) out of Nevada. [21:20] lord_phanes i mean, i dont do starbucks since i own my own espresso machine, but when i did starbucks it was not a noticeable expense. if starbucks is making you broke, that's not a spending problem, thats an earning problem. [21:20] DaemonFC She alone earns 350% of what me and my spouse do, combined. [21:20] DaemonFC 350% [21:20] DaemonFC But she's always doing dumb shit. [21:20] DaemonFC Starbucks every day. [21:20] DaemonFC Expensive streaming apps. [21:20] lord_phanes 350% of WIC checks and intersection donations? what luxury. [21:21] DaemonFC Trips to Disney World that she can't afford. [21:21] DaemonFC Oh no, she needs WIC and she makes six figures. [21:21] DaemonFC It's just completely fucking stupid. [21:21] lord_phanes that [21:21] lord_phanes is a spending problem [21:21] lord_phanes you have an earning problem [21:21] DaemonFC Yeah, six figures a year in rural Indiana. [21:21] DaemonFC And she's broke! [21:21] DaemonFC Because she has a husband who doesn't earn any money. [21:22] DaemonFC Her mother-in-law living with her. [21:22] lord_phanes lol loserr [21:22] DaemonFC She adopted Problem Child and one day he'll set the house on fire. [21:22] lord_phanes so he not only doesn't have a job to pitch in but has his mother live with them [21:22] lord_phanes thats fantastic [21:22] DaemonFC And then she took Wegovy and got pregnant at age 42. [21:22] DaemonFC Because she believed the doctors who said she'd never get pregnant and didn't make her unemployed husband wear a condom! [21:22] DaemonFC So now she's got a baby too. [21:23] DaemonFC And she's the only one working and she has no money management skill. [21:23] DaemonFC So it just all goes out the window. [21:23] DaemonFC Since she's enabled the husband so long, if they got a divorce, he'd get stuff out of the marriage (alimony, visitation, etc.) without having to put anything into the care of the child he created (child support). [21:24] DaemonFC Not that he could leave. Nobody else is going to put up with him not working, while he lives there for free, smokes, and eats. [21:25] DaemonFC [15:22] so he not only doesn't have a job to pitch in but has his mother live with them [21:25] DaemonFC It gets better. [21:25] DaemonFC You never hit bedrock with anyone in my family. [21:25] DaemonFC His mother got him addicted to pain killers when he was a child. [21:25] DaemonFC She got all her children hooked on drugs when they were a child because she was a druggie. [21:26] DaemonFC She's apparently stopped, but the drugs got her other two children dead or in prison on the installment plan. [21:26] DaemonFC So the one with my cousin is the most successful one out of the bunch. [21:26] DaemonFC And now he's managed to reproduce as well. [21:26] DaemonFC :) [21:27] lord_phanes well, try to relax, im sure someone in your family tree will go fight for country some time over the next few years and set the bloodline right [21:27] lord_phanes either that or the problem will take care of itself, wars do that too [21:28] lord_phanes and there will be [21:28] lord_phanes wars [21:28] MinceR (cat) https://ircz.de/p/24051522 [21:28] TR Bot WHOOPSIE [21:28] lord_phanes i foresee a very large international conflict at a scale not seen in our lifetime coming [21:28] DaemonFC He's not going to be fit for any military service unless we get to the point where it's like Putin's thugs going to round up anyone they can. [21:29] lord_phanes yeah, its going to be like "there's a draft again and we're calling in 50 year olds because the newgen are literally becoming food in the trenches" [21:29] DaemonFC MinceR says the use for these people is to make the enemy fire munitions at them. [21:30] DaemonFC I did get my firearms training from a former police detective who was also on a Hostage Rescue Team. [21:31] DaemonFC I asked around for recommendations on that one. [21:31] lord_phanes if you want legit firearms training go out to nashville and find an ex-cia sniper trainer [21:32] DaemonFC lord_phanes: Anyway, my point about my cousins are.... [21:32] lord_phanes one of those "camp" style training courses where you live there [21:32] DaemonFC Terrible life choices and no money management skills are even worse than not making very much money to begin with. [21:32] lord_phanes DaemonFC: and just imagine, you do all 3 [21:32] DaemonFC Because "here it is, make it count" is at least better than hitting Starbucks twice a day. Disney world three times a year. [21:33] DaemonFC Bank on the phone threatening to take your home away. [21:33] lord_phanes i live well below my means and save like half my income, and how i live is extravagant compared to what you do by the sounds of it [21:34] DaemonFC All I have to do to get to a library is walk next door. [21:34] lord_phanes thats not a trump horn, i mean that one. you gotta pump those numbers up bub. [21:34] DaemonFC That's it. [21:34] DaemonFC Go borrow something from the library. [21:34] DaemonFC Why have $100 a month in streaming bills? [21:34] lord_phanes you could be selling infrastructure maintenance to the library [21:35] DaemonFC Every time they send someone a property tax bill they're like "$700 for a swamp with mosquitoes. $400 for the library. $200 to provide free healthcare for illegal aliens. $100 for the streets." [21:35] DaemonFC You're paying for the library. Go use it! [21:35] DaemonFC They print out. I'm not shitting you. [21:35] lord_phanes i have my own library [21:35] lord_phanes at home [21:36] lord_phanes one i can be naked in [21:36] DaemonFC They print out a thing saying how much using the library saved you that year. [21:36] DaemonFC They don't have a line to deduct your property taxes (actual, not optional) from "savings" (which they figured.....how?) [21:37] DaemonFC The library saved you $73 last year. Meanwhile, the property taxes arrive and "Library" is like "$563". [21:37] DaemonFC So basically if they just shut down the library and you bought books and movies, you'd have books and movies you got to keep? [21:38] DaemonFC Of course, homeless Venezuelans wouldn't have a place to go take a bath in the sink and piss on the floor. [21:38] DaemonFC If we do have a war they should round up the Venezuelans and send them. [21:38] DaemonFC Make the same deal Putin does. [21:38] DaemonFC You get back, we'll give you an American passport. [21:39] DaemonFC Maybe 1 in 100 makes it back. [21:39] DaemonFC Putin can promise a lot to people he sends there without body armor and one clip of ammunition. [21:39] DaemonFC :) [21:40] DaemonFC "You see that Howitzer over there? Run towards it and scream. You get Russian citizenship and a million dollars if you get back!" [21:40] DaemonFC :P [21:40] DaemonFC MinceR: ^ [21:40] DaemonFC Eventually, there's like a field of dead Russian conscripts they didn't want back. [21:40] DaemonFC And the Ukrainians have no more shells. [21:42] lord_phanes im like 99% sure your a fake persona to make sure no one pays attention to this place [21:42] DaemonFC This is really how the Russians think. And this is what happens when you have too many people you can't do much for who all demand to eat. [21:42] DaemonFC You'll find a war to get them killed in. [21:42] DaemonFC Or they'll riot at home. ● May 27 [22:13] lord_phanes of course they bombed a civilian refugee camp in rafah, killing 50 mostly women and children [22:13] lord_phanes right after the icj orders a halt to rafah [22:14] lord_phanes and now bibi is like "oopsie this was a tragic mistake" like he didn't fucking order it [22:14] DaemonFC The ICJ isn't real. [22:14] DaemonFC It's sort of a gaslighting operation. [22:14] lord_phanes the man needs to be swung from a gallow on an international livestream [22:14] DaemonFC And the people complaining about them killed 400,000 South Africans by blocking the importation of AIDS drugs and denying the existence of HIV. [22:15] DaemonFC Which is itself a crime against humanity. [22:15] DaemonFC Israel should respond at the ICJ by complaining about Mbeki and other South African government officials and their AIDS denial holocaust. [22:15] DaemonFC Of their own citizens. [22:17] DaemonFC All South Africa had to do was stop the HIV drug import ban, acknowledge that HIV is a dangerous virus that causes AIDS, and let in free medicine from the United States. [22:29] MinceR https://apina.biz/199386.jpg?mode=sfw [22:29] -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-http://apina.biz/199386.jpg [22:29] lord_phanes that should be addressed. after bibi hangs. [22:32] lord_phanes the ICJ is absolutely real, moreso than the ICC [22:33] lord_phanes they have sanction powers [22:33] lord_phanes and can impact member state standing on UN councils [22:33] lord_phanes the US may very well be withdrawing from the UN at the culmination of this [22:34] lord_phanes the hilarious part is it will be an international conflict and it will be painfully obvious to all that we're not the good guys on this historical chapter because our support was unconditional [22:37] lord_phanes and, our financial stability and military readiness are depleted due to misallocation to ukraine [22:37] lord_phanes so we will lose [22:37] lord_phanes and then we will be sanctioned [22:38] lord_phanes the hardline repubs will get all loud for a while [22:38] lord_phanes and then they'll lose their positions of influence over it as people get hungrier [22:39] lord_phanes and only then will the parties adjust to something more modern [22:40] lord_phanes it will be concerning how crazy policymakers get for a while as this progresses through that course [22:40] lord_phanes people saying things i say now will be under threat of imprisonment or deportation [22:41] lord_phanes or perhaps they'll keep a list names like mine would get added to that they incorrectly call something else to make it more pejorative [22:41] lord_phanes and restrict the freedoms of the people on that list [22:44] lord_phanes a "scarlet letter" if you will [22:45] DaemonFC Trump can unilaterally withdraw the US from the United Nations next year. [22:45] DaemonFC And boot them out of New York City permanently. [22:45] lord_phanes yep but he wont [22:45] lord_phanes unless they sanction us or restrict our security council veto privs [22:45] DaemonFC You're probably right. [22:46] DaemonFC Taking away our veto would require changing the UN charter. [22:46] DaemonFC Which could happen. [22:46] DaemonFC But it would be the end of a third of their funding. [22:46] DaemonFC So they've never tried it because everyone else's dues would go up by what the US isn't paying. [22:46] lord_phanes or for all the other members to start saying "this is bullshit, this thing in israel is over or we quit and there will be conflict" [22:47] DaemonFC The UN is mostly for weak countries that otherwise don't matter in the world and can't impose their will unilaterally. [22:47] DaemonFC Like Canada. [22:47] DaemonFC Canada doesn't really matter outside of Canada. [22:47] DaemonFC And they don't really seem to have any ambition anyway. [22:47] lord_phanes out military might and financial contributions aren't the only thing holding the UN together or the only thing keeping us in the UN [22:48] lord_phanes if we withdrew it would isolate the US diplomatically and financially, and we'd try to lean on mexico, who would reject us, and canada is too incoherent to be a useful ally [22:48] DaemonFC China doesn't seem to generally want to take over world policing. [22:48] lord_phanes we'd lose dollar dominance almost immediately [22:48] DaemonFC They don't even step in and fire some missiles at the Houthis when they attack Chinese-flagged vessels. [22:48] lord_phanes and brics would finally get a leg in [22:49] DaemonFC China seems more concerned with regional invasion plans, for now, and for some reason, loading up third world countries with debt they'll never pay back. [22:50] lord_phanes a non-un-member america would withdraw inward and become a much weaker country to the point that our ranking on leader boards in key indicators of prosperity would be greatly diminished [22:50] lord_phanes those smaller weaker states are held back by us and dont realize it [22:50] DaemonFC Giving Venezuela a loan is like paying my cousin's $600 Verizon bill with the promise of being paid back next Thursday. [22:50] lord_phanes we would over the following few years have our operations withdraw to mostly sticking to north and south america [22:50] DaemonFC Only the king of idiots would do it. [22:50] lord_phanes china would be the new US of europe [22:51] lord_phanes and once that happens, it'll stay that way for 1000 years [22:51] lord_phanes a literal eon of unhindered chinese influence expansion [22:51] lord_phanes in a vacuum left by the US [22:51] DaemonFC The US government acknowledges that it's losing influence in the world. [22:52] lord_phanes all they have to do to stop this [22:52] DaemonFC It seems to be intent on loading itself up with debt obligations over something it thinks can be postponed 30 years. [22:52] lord_phanes is arrest bibi [22:52] lord_phanes we need a regime change in israel ● May 27 [23:00] DaemonFC We need a regime change in most governments in the world. The problem is that something just as bad or worse tends to happen next. [23:00] DaemonFC Because people don't change.
