You're just doing this because he wasn't white!" [18:07] DaemonFC What Wil Wheaton got absolutely wrong with his article "The Real War on Christmas" with the way he said his argument with his father on the death sentence went....And I think he probably didn't quote his father correctly...Is that as long as these people are alive in prison, there's a good chance they'll get out someday. [18:08] DaemonFC The Democrats on the parole board in Illinois recently paroled an ax murderer from the 1970s, a guy who raped and killed a child under 12 in 1996, and a man who raped and killed a 16 year old while he was on compassionate release in the 1970s to go visit his dying grandmother. [18:08] DaemonFC And at least the third guy didn't even report to parole and they have no idea where he went and that was last May. [18:09] DaemonFC If John Wayne Gacy hadn't been executed in 1996 when Illinois still had the death sentence, he'd have been up for parole twice already, and who knows. And that guy was raping teenagers and then murdering them, embalming them, and leaving them in the crawlspace of his house.

They've let people out who were nearly as bad, and their counterpart in California has too, and the only reason Sirhan Sirhan isn't a free man yet is because the Governor of California personally stepped in due to the victim being a Kennedy. [18:11] MinceR they let the worst people rule us [18:11] DaemonFC Most of these people are in prison because they confessed and/or the evidence was extremely damning. [18:12] DaemonFC So why they'd even be up for parole is the question. Like, what kind of fucked in the head society even puts the victims' family through the thought that every 6 years at some point, this guy could be out. [18:13] DaemonFC All it takes is the votes from three people with social work degrees who have a head full of liberal mush and propaganda from their fake college education. [18:14] DaemonFC Yammering on about how statistically, it's low income people of color something something, so we have to let the ax murderer and the child rapist/murderer guy and the one who raped and murdered someone in 1972 out, and they're all white you know. [18:14] DaemonFC Obviously the racist system only sends black people to prison and these three are back and they're all white. How does that work? [18:15] DaemonFC they let the worst people rule us [18:15] DaemonFC One of my favorite movies is actually Liar Liar. The one where Jim Carey is a lawyer who can't lie for one day and it almost ruins his entire life. [18:16] DaemonFC His secretary tells him one of his clients is on the phone. He robbed another ATM "This time at knifepoint. He wants your legal advice.". [18:16] DaemonFC So he picks up the receiver and shouts "QUIT BREAKING THE LAW ASSHOLE!!!!". [18:17] *techrights_guest|74 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [18:17] DaemonFC MinceR, I'm looking at guns again on the Bass Pro Shops website. [18:17] DaemonFC I know they don't have the absolute best prices, but I just like shopping there. [18:17] DaemonFC I've got my eye on a couple of revolvers. [18:17] DaemonFC One for serious home defense and stuff like that, and one for target shooting. [18:18] DaemonFC The target shooting one is almost a toy. It's like $149 and has a $20 mail in rebate. It uses .22 LR rounds, which are DIRT CHEAP. [18:18] DaemonFC Obviously you'd never shoot a home invader with a single action .22 revolver. [18:18] DaemonFC Unless it's all you had and you were desperate. [18:22] DaemonFC The risk is that you'd do no serious damage and just piss the guy off. [18:23] DaemonFC The smallest round you probably want for home defense is a .357 or a .38. [18:23] DaemonFC Double Action, or Double Action Only (probably better). [18:24] DaemonFC The reason I say DAO is probably better is because the hammer tends to snag on things if you have the option for both. [18:24] DaemonFC Revolvers are the best choice. They're very reliable and very easy to clean. Especially the ones with a short barrel. [18:25] DaemonFC You don't have to sit there and disassemble the thing to clean it. [18:27] DaemonFC And they don't need the recoil to chamber another round. So if you get a dead round or one that wouldn't have ejected and jams the gun, it makes no difference to a revolver. Just press the trigger again and it moves to the next bullet. Then safely dispose of the dud later. [18:27] DaemonFC I've found bullet casings in the parking lot at the local Walmart and our apartment. [18:28] DaemonFC Probably were used to shoot at someone. I can't imagine why else they'd be there. [18:28] DaemonFC The Democrat FOID law working again! MinceR [18:30] MinceR if you need to shoot more than 6 or whatever times, revolvers become a hindrance :> [18:31] DaemonFC 5-6 usually. [18:32] DaemonFC Yeah, reloading them can be a chore. [18:32] DaemonFC But in home defense, if you can't hit the guy with 5-6 shots, then he's probably already killed you. [18:34] DaemonFC MinceR, It's been my experience that the people who are really really anti-gun have the luxury of living somewhere where they probably won't need one. [18:34] DaemonFC Like, you know, rich suburb, lots of cops who actually respond to 911 calls in less than an hour. [18:34] DaemonFC They are not like me. [18:34] MinceR :> [18:35] DaemonFC The criminals generally know where they can get away with stuff and the police won't bother them. [18:35] DaemonFC And they tend to stay in those places and do what they do. [18:36] DaemonFC The reason so much of Chicago is basically unserved by the police is that Lori Lightfoot has let 1,000 cops a year "retire" or run screaming to a city that won't charge them with a crime if they have to defend themselves from some guy who is high on crack and shooting at them and already killed their partner. [18:36] DaemonFC And the rest have pulled back and are defending the white neighborhoods where the taxes are. [18:38] DaemonFC They won't go far from a police station and they'll only respond to things where they can have at least 4-6 cops there on the scene quickly. [18:38] DaemonFC Lightfoot was trying to tell them they couldn't even have a funeral for Officer Ella French because of COVID. [18:38] DaemonFC Which pretty much just proves what COVID is. [18:39] DaemonFC It's a bad cold and an excuse for Democrats to be dictators. [18:39] DaemonFC They went ahead and had the funeral anyway, bagpipes and everything. [18:40] MinceR i can't follow the logic [18:40] psydroid4 schestowitz, Q:"do any of you remember what happened when Microsoft blocked or marked as spam orbitalfx lists such as the one for Gemini?" A:"I know this happened to Disroot and Microsoft wouldn't do anything about it" [18:40] MinceR how does democrats being afraid of COVID-19 prove that it's not a serious disease? [18:40] DaemonFC When you subtract the deaths from the people in long term care , it's not that much of a threat. [18:40] MinceR s/democrats/"democrats"/ [18:40] DaemonFC Our county says that about 1.5% of the people who get COVID here have died, but that half of the deaths were in long term care and those were 4% of the cases. [18:41] MinceR overwhelming the hospitals is not much of a threat? [18:41] MinceR lots of people got COVID-19, it spreads quickly and effectively [18:41] DaemonFC So if that's true, you can say 0.75% of everyone outside of a nursing home will die, and that's from 96% of the cases. [18:42] DaemonFC So if you're outside of a nursing home, it really only has something like a 0.8-0.9% death rate. [18:42] DaemonFC But in the mean time, the Democrats in Illinois have permanently destroyed 260,000 jobs that are never going to come back over COVID "lockdowns" and "mandates". [18:43] MinceR what's a "nursing home"? [18:43] DaemonFC And people who need other kinds of medical care have put it off either because they have no way to pay for it, or because they're so afraid of going to the doctor or hospital. [18:43] DaemonFC what's a "nursing home"? [18:43] DaemonFC SNL was joking about this when COVID was new to the US. [18:44] DaemonFC "It's nothing to worry about unless you're in a nursing home, where we cloister all of the old people together, many of them have smoked their entire life.". [18:44] MinceR :> [18:44] DaemonFC So, like, that generation is fucked because most of them destroyed their lungs with cigarettes already and NOW they're also 80-90-100. [18:45] DaemonFC And so it's no wonder that they're half the deaths.

[20:39] schestowitz-TR2 hey [20:39] schestowitz-TR2 orca is nice [20:39] schestowitz-TR2 don't compare them to orca [20:39] schestowitz-TR2 also, orcas are healthy when fat [20:39] schestowitz-TR2 not "can't walk up the stairs" fat [20:39] bnchs__ can i say that i'm a uhhh "can't walk up the stairs" fat? [20:40] schestowitz-TR2 or "I started with a cake slice and bam it's gone!" fat [20:40] DaemonFC Not a cake slice. [20:40] DaemonFC An entire cake. [20:40] DaemonFC Gone/ [20:40] schestowitz-TR2 it always starts with a bite or a slice [20:40] DaemonFC My dad does things like that. [20:40] schestowitz-TR2 my dad did too [20:40] schestowitz-TR2 he reached 100kg at one point [20:40] DaemonFC He'd get entire cakes at the deli and then put an entire jar of jam on them. [20:40] schestowitz-TR2 even I never reached that point [20:41] DaemonFC Then I'd go, "Dad, where did that cake go?" and he'd say "Well, it was a low fat cake.". [20:41] DaemonFC He had this thing where nothing was ever sweet enough. [20:41] schestowitz-TR2 low. in large quantities\ [20:41] DaemonFC He'd mix peanut butter with karo syrup in a coffee mug. [20:41] schestowitz-TR2 I guess it's better than a alcoholic dad [20:41] bnchs__ tbh an entire cake would seem way too small for me [20:41] DaemonFC THen dip crackers in it. [20:42] schestowitz-TR2 buzzert: depends on the cake [20:42] schestowitz-TR2 rianne is having a chocolate cake this week [20:42] schestowitz-TR2 it should last 3-4 days [20:42] DaemonFC My favorite is carrot cake. Usually, the buffet hogs go after the chocolate stuff first. [20:43] schestowitz-TR2 yes, that tastes nic [20:43] DaemonFC They leave the carrot cake and strawberry shortcake relatively intact. [20:43] schestowitz-TR2 *nice [20:43] schestowitz-TR2 but very sugary [20:43] DaemonFC Mom's third husband was the biggest pig of them all. [20:43] DaemonFC He'd eat entire jars of cake frosting with a spoon. [20:43] DaemonFC And wash them down with an entire gallon of milk. [20:43] schestowitz-TR2 wow [20:44] schestowitz-TR2 did he survive long? [20:44] bnchs__ thats absolute beast [20:44] DaemonFC She was buying 7 gallons of milk every week for him, and he was trying to blame my brother for drinking it all. [20:44] DaemonFC did he survive long? [20:44] DaemonFC He's over 400 pounds, and yes, still alive. With some woman that looks older than his mom. [20:45] DaemonFC And driving around on the smallest motorcycle Harley-Davidson makes. [20:45] schestowitz-TR2 that's like 180 kg [20:45] schestowitz-TR2 two of me [20:45] DaemonFC He looks like a total idiot (because he is one). [20:46] DaemonFC I'm seriously considering this .22 revolver. Cheaper than dirt after the rebate. [20:46] bnchs__ how can someone drink an entire gallon of milk [20:46] DaemonFC Some of these guns are starting to say Made in the Philippines on them. [20:46] schestowitz-TR2 in one setting [20:46] DaemonFC Rock Island Armory is making them there. [20:46] schestowitz-TR2 DaemonFC: guns ar low tech [20:46] schestowitz-TR2 barrel, hammer, trigger [20:46] schestowitz-TR2 handle [20:47] DaemonFC schestowitz-TR2, Yes, and like most things, the lower tech, the better. [20:47] DaemonFC You get all that German engineering in there, and you get an expensive gun that jams up and is very hard to clean. [20:47] DaemonFC MinceR, ^ [20:47] DaemonFC You get a good solid American-made revolver and it's very easy to maintain. [20:47] DaemonFC Costs half as much. [20:48] DaemonFC I never really understood the fascination with German guns. [20:48] schestowitz-TR2 or german cars [20:48] DaemonFC They're the absolute worst thing you can buy for the money unless you like taking things apart to fix them all the time. [20:48] schestowitz-TR2 afaik still expensive to repair [20:49] DaemonFC They always have been. [20:49] DaemonFC Scotty Kilmer said until 2014, BMW still made very reliable transmissions, but it was the last thing that worked right on their cars, and those are gone now. [20:49] DaemonFC Why put a nice transmission in a car that's only made to work right for 3-5 years? [20:49] MinceR manual transmissions? [20:49] DaemonFC No, it was an automatic. [20:50] MinceR i thought all the germans just bought some crap from ZF [20:50] DaemonFC Maybe. I always just buy American cars. [20:50] DaemonFC That migh change soon. [20:50] DaemonFC The American cars aren't cheap anymore, but the reliability is even worse than usual. [20:50] DaemonFC So I might just buy a 10 year old Honda or something next time. [20:51] schestowitz-TR2 japanese seem reliable [20:51] schestowitz-TR2 iirc, MinceR trusts japanese cars? [20:51] DaemonFC You can get them for a price that isn't scandalous and they run for a long time. [20:51] schestowitz-TR2 i had a korean car at one point [20:51] DaemonFC So did I. [20:51] schestowitz-TR2 when hyundai made some (and kia) [20:51] DaemonFC I'm still getting letters from KIA about their Hyundai engine that may explode. [20:51] DaemonFC And how they want to do a software update for it. [20:52] DaemonFC So it can tell you "Chuck Engine". [20:52] DaemonFC :) [20:52] DaemonFC Hopefully before it blows up. [20:52] MinceR schestowitz-TR2: yeah [20:52] DaemonFC I mean, back in the old days you had to piss off the mafia to have a car bomb. [20:52] schestowitz-TR2 I drove my uncle's mercedes once [20:52] DaemonFC But now you just buy a KIA. [20:52] DaemonFC And it comes with every unit sold! [20:52] schestowitz-TR2 in florida, but only in the parking lot [20:52] schestowitz-TR2 (I was 16) [20:53] MinceR if you can settle for a car that just sets itself on fire instead of exploding, BMW can help you out [20:53] MinceR but it costs a lot more than kia/hyundai [20:53] DaemonFC schestowitz-TR2, I had a few clunkers when I was in my teens and early 20s. [20:53] MinceR audi offers "cars" where the rest of the drivetrain destroys the transmission [20:53] DaemonFC A 1985 Honda Accord. A 1987 GMC S1500. A 1995 Chevrolet Corsica. [20:53] MinceR and then you can replace the transmission with another one which will be destroyed the same way [20:53] MinceR iirc they call it "allroad" [20:54] DaemonFC They were so cheap I'd just buy them from some guy and drive whatever I felt like that day. [20:54] DaemonFC The truck didn't even need a key. [20:54] DaemonFC You started it with a screwdriver. [20:54] MinceR :) [20:55] DaemonFC So I drove the truck when I needed to haul something around and the Chevy was just some back and forth to work clunker because I had a commute. [20:55] DaemonFC It got surprisingly good gas mileage, almost like the Honda. [20:55] DaemonFC The Honda was usually for driving around the city or on the weekends. [20:56] DaemonFC When you rack up a lot of miles you want some cheap piece of shit that you'll only use for that. [20:56] DaemonFC So the Chevy was a good commuter car. [20:57] DaemonFC If I can find something with 100,000 miles on it, that's usually a low mileage car for me. [20:57] DaemonFC Most of mine have had at least 2-5 times that many by the time I was done with them,.

And it will be my last phone from you guys. [21:19] DaemonFC I thought you had a total pooch screw with the Galaxy S6, until I got a load of the S20 FE 5G, which can't even use the 5G bands of the carrier who sold it to me.
