| IsambardPrince | [16:33] <MinceR> the masses will never understand this, and market forces will eventually deprive us of choice | Aug 28 01:28 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: I got to report the government to the government today. | Aug 28 01:28 |
| IsambardPrince | That was fun. | Aug 28 01:29 |
| IsambardPrince | The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency says to report "smoking vehicles". | Aug 28 01:29 |
| IsambardPrince | It's meant so you'll report people who are "rolling coal" or burning oil. | Aug 28 01:29 |
| IsambardPrince | I used it to report a school bus that was belching out black smoke. | Aug 28 01:29 |
| IsambardPrince | Grandma Harmon made my mom and her sister sick all the time. | Aug 28 01:51 |
| IsambardPrince | Because they had a refrigerator but my grandmother didn't use it. | Aug 28 01:52 |
| IsambardPrince | She'd just leave leftovers out for a couple days and feed it to them again. | Aug 28 01:52 |
| IsambardPrince | And go "Oh those girls have that stomach flu again!" | Aug 28 01:52 |
| IsambardPrince | It didn't occur to my mother until she was an adult that most people didn't get sick to their stomach all the time. | Aug 28 01:52 |
| IsambardPrince | Food safety was pretty lax in that house. | Aug 28 01:52 |
| IsambardPrince | My uncle went to open a can of spaghetti-os in the 1970s and it was so far past its date, the tomato sauce sprayed out all over the ceiling. | Aug 28 01:52 |
| IsambardPrince | My brother was over at Grandma's house in 2012 and found a can that expired in 1979. | Aug 28 01:52 |
| IsambardPrince | My brother was over at Grandma's house in 2012 and found a can that expired in 1979. | Aug 28 01:52 |
| IsambardPrince | None of the soda there tasted right because she'd put it out in the garage and then say "There's a Coke out there!" and you'd find out it expired 5 years ago. | Aug 28 01:53 |
| MinceR | :> | Aug 28 01:55 |
| IsambardPrince | When my Aunt Karen lost her house in bank foreclosure she moved back in with Grandma. | Aug 28 01:55 |
| IsambardPrince | Grandma made a pot roast one night, then left it on the counter for 4 days. | Aug 28 01:55 |
| IsambardPrince | Then she put it in the fridge and told Karen "There's some of that roast left." | Aug 28 01:55 |
| IsambardPrince | Karen said, "Oh I just went by Arby's on the way back from work! Thanks, though." | Aug 28 01:55 |
| MinceR | lol | Aug 28 01:57 |
| IsambardPrince | Mom said that when she was a girl, grandma would sometimes leave things on the counter so long, maggots would start growing in it. | Aug 28 01:58 |
| IsambardPrince | She frequently dumped that sort of thing over the fence into the farmer's field. | Aug 28 01:58 |
| IsambardPrince | Everything they didn't want that couldn't be burned with the household garbage went over the fence, including all their Christmas trees. | Aug 28 01:58 |
| IsambardPrince | One year, my grandparents could't find the star for the top of the tree, and my aunt went out and grabbed it off the one they threw over the fence the last year, and came back in shouting "Everyone in this house is crazy!" | Aug 28 01:58 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR: So far I've managed to nab $300 worth of cat food and litter for like $50. | Aug 28 03:00 |
| IsambardPrince | I'm going through all the separate retail channels where the promos are and loading up. | Aug 28 03:00 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: An HOA in Georgia installed Flock cameras without asking any of the residents so someone went out and sawed them down. | Aug 28 03:13 |
| IsambardPrince | My mom keeps telling me to shop at Aldi, but the way I shop at Jewel isn't the way she would shop there. | Aug 28 03:22 |
| IsambardPrince | I meal plan around loss leaders and coupons. I usually end up beating Aldi by a lot. Like, Aldi has a $2.05 every day price on a bag of spinach, but organic spinach goes on sale at Jewel for $1.99 all the time and regular goes on sale for 99 cents. | Aug 28 03:23 |
| MinceR | inorganic spinach intrigues me | Aug 28 03:23 |
| IsambardPrince | It's been decarbonized. | Aug 28 03:26 |
| MinceR | :> | Aug 28 03:27 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: I always err on the side of too much spinach when I'm cooking. | Aug 28 03:41 |
| IsambardPrince | It cooks down to almost nothing. | Aug 28 03:41 |
| MinceR | :> | Aug 28 03:41 |
| IsambardPrince | It's cheap, it's very nutritious. | Aug 28 03:42 |
| IsambardPrince | If those flavor bomb tomatoes are on a good sale, I use too many of them too. | Aug 28 03:42 |
| IsambardPrince | They release liquid but you can compensate somewhere else. | Aug 28 03:42 |
| IsambardPrince | I grabbed a bunch of mayo packets at Chik-Fil-A and I'm using them to make egg salad. | Aug 28 03:46 |
| IsambardPrince | Coors is the loss leader of the week. | Aug 28 03:49 |

| IsambardPrince | Why bother? | Aug 28 05:30 |
| IsambardPrince | It's mostly a slopfarm. | Aug 28 05:31 |
| IsambardPrince | I watched an exterminator dealing with a horrible cockroach infestation. | Aug 28 05:31 |
| IsambardPrince | I don't know why that would be entertaining. | Aug 28 05:31 |
| IsambardPrince | I've lived through something that bad. | Aug 28 05:31 |
| IsambardPrince | Piyush the Excellent Landlord | Aug 28 05:31 |
| IsambardPrince | A $100 rent increase every year and cockroaches and overflowing dumpsters and my apartment flooding when it rained. | Aug 28 05:32 |
| IsambardPrince | He sent a boy of about 15 to use a chainsaw to get rid of that tree. | Aug 28 05:32 |
| IsambardPrince | Unsupervised. | Aug 28 05:32 |
| IsambardPrince | That had to be some kind of a crime. | Aug 28 05:33 |
| IsambardPrince | I was allowed to use the lawnmower when I was a child, but not a chainsaw. | Aug 28 05:33 |
| IsambardPrince | The closest thing to a chainsaw I was allowed to use was a hedge trimmer. | Aug 28 05:33 |
| IsambardPrince | There's a big difference. | Aug 28 05:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Maybe these days they call the police on you for letting a 10 year old mow the lawn but they didn't back then. | Aug 28 05:34 |
| IsambardPrince | So the kid grows up and the result of not being allowed to do anything is they don't know how to do anything. | Aug 28 05:34 |
| IsambardPrince | They don't know how to use the oven and their parents don't either. | Aug 28 05:34 |
| IsambardPrince | So they get on a iPhone and order Doordash every night like cum and cheetos. | Aug 28 05:35 |

| IsambardPrince | When we were sitting at the immigration interview, he blurted out that he worked before he got his work permit, and I had to motion for the lawyer I hired to cut him off and explain that he got the date wrong. | Aug 28 06:52 |
| IsambardPrince | He blurts things out that would immediately be killed by an internal check, for no reason, right at the worst moment. | Aug 28 06:54 |
| IsambardPrince | I am NOT exaggerating how bad the roach problem was at Piyush's building As soon as he took that building over, maybe a year went by before I started seeing roaches and before I knew it they had practically taken over my apartment, especially my kitchen, they built a nest in my laptop, my stereo, my television set. It wasn't really safe to take anything with us except Mark's other building where we moved to already had roaches, just | Aug 28 06:57 |
| IsambardPrince | like this place did. | Aug 28 06:57 |
| IsambardPrince | What are you going to do, throw everything away every move and still have cockroaches anyway? | Aug 28 06:57 |
| IsambardPrince | But Piyush's building was next level shit. | Aug 28 06:57 |
| IsambardPrince | That's why Mark sold it to him. | Aug 28 06:57 |
| IsambardPrince | Then Mandy said "And then we had to move all because you were afraid of some tiny little roaches." | Aug 28 06:58 |
| IsambardPrince | He just walked around the apartment doing his stuff fully aware that there were cockroaches everywhere. | Aug 28 06:58 |
| IsambardPrince | Shitting all over things, leaving frass trails, breeding in the electronics. | Aug 28 06:58 |
| IsambardPrince | [00:44] <schestowitz[TR2]> and low temper | Aug 28 07:01 |
| IsambardPrince | Mandy definitely has a temper but he only takes it out on you if he thinks there won't be any consequences. | Aug 28 07:02 |
| IsambardPrince | Which is why he was verbally and physically abusive to me for years, but only in private where he didn't think anyone would witness it. | Aug 28 07:02 |
| IsambardPrince | He'll only do it at home and only if nobody else sees it happen. | Aug 28 07:02 |
| IsambardPrince | Abusers are like that, they do NOT want witnesses. That way they can pretend it never happened and just say you're lying if you ever tell anyone about it. | Aug 28 07:03 |
| IsambardPrince | He would hit me and throw things at me, call me foul things in Tagalog. | Aug 28 07:06 |
| IsambardPrince | Then he would threaten to call 911 and say that I did something to him. | Aug 28 07:07 |
| IsambardPrince | Because he knew that I am scared of the police. | Aug 28 07:07 |
| IsambardPrince | He can do that to someone who puts up with it now. | Aug 28 07:07 |
| IsambardPrince | The cops are usually weaponized against domestic violence victims. | Aug 28 07:09 |
| IsambardPrince | They don't really care who they arrest. They have to make an arrest and a narrative, that's all they have to do. | Aug 28 07:09 |
| IsambardPrince | And the abuser is usually better at handling the police than the person they abused, who they are also complaining about. | Aug 28 07:10 |

| IsambardPrince | That the person who called them, who is totally calm when they talk with them, is the one telling the truth. | Aug 28 07:12 |
| IsambardPrince | Mandy didn't abuse me because it made sense, or because it ultimately got him any sort of a prize. He did it because he's a mean person. He's screwed up in the head and it made him feel powerful to have me running to him like an idiot begging him to change. | Aug 28 07:13 |
| IsambardPrince | Without me, things immediately get harder for him. He's broke, he has no life skills. He's moving into some room with someone he works with.

| IsambardPrince | They extended his probation a few times then eventually just let him go and never made any serious effort to try to collect over $4,000. | Aug 28 18:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Mark's main concern is that you pay him. | Aug 28 18:24 |
| IsambardPrince | He ignores almost anything as long as he's getting paid and you're not doing serious damage to the apartment. | Aug 28 18:24 |
| IsambardPrince | He "deals with roaches" using the absolute cheapest stuff he can find that clears out most of them long enough to rent the apartments out. | Aug 28 18:25 |

| IsambardPrince | My guess is that Piyush's building had roaches when Mark owned it, but the reason they never got so bad they started exploding from the walls when he owned it is that he would come in and dust for them whenever the apartments changed over or someone complained. | Aug 28 18:26 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | dealing with these bugs | Aug 28 18:32 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah, he sends Andreas to dust for the roaches. | Aug 28 18:32 |
| IsambardPrince | He actually sent me a text message admitting there's roaches. | Aug 28 18:32 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | piyush used to work in an office | Aug 28 18:32 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and he is old now | Aug 28 18:32 |

| IsambardPrince | When you rent, the problems that crop up with the apartment are at least the landlord's problems. | Aug 28 18:35 |
| IsambardPrince | When you have a mortgage, you owe the bank for 30 years with interest. | Aug 28 18:35 |
| IsambardPrince | The interest alone is as much as the house. | Aug 28 18:35 |
| IsambardPrince | They don't fix anything, so you will need more loans whenever anything goes wrong. | Aug 28 18:35 |
| IsambardPrince | The landlord has a property upkeep crew that does nothing except fix stuff. | Aug 28 18:36 |
| IsambardPrince | You don't. | Aug 28 18:36 |
| IsambardPrince | You have to go to the home improvement stores and see if there's some guy who knows how. | Aug 28 18:36 |

| IsambardPrince | In exchange for this arrangement where you rent a house from the bank and you have to fix it, you also have to take care of the lawn or get fined. | Aug 28 18:37 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | beer is not the only reason they look for work | Aug 28 18:37 |

| IsambardPrince | I am so done with Trump and people who either help him or will not do anything to stop him. | Aug 28 20:32 |
| IsambardPrince | I supported Juliana Stratton in the Senate primary because I think Dick Durbin is a weak Senator who may as well not even be there. | Aug 28 20:32 |
| IsambardPrince | He's a Democrat who gave up and funded ICE to get the government to reopen. | Aug 28 20:32 |
| IsambardPrince | People like me didn't respond well to that. | Aug 28 20:32 |
| IsambardPrince | Durbin is warming a bench and he has no fight in him. | Aug 28 20:32 |
| IsambardPrince | We need less people like that in the Senate. | Aug 28 20:32 |
| IsambardPrince | Durbin gave up and retired, but the Primary came down to Stratton vs. Raja Krishnamoorthi. Krishnamoorthi got so much money pouring in from billionaires. | Aug 28 20:34 |
| IsambardPrince | It was just ridiculous. When I see money like that pouring in I know who they're going to represent, so why should I vote for that? I don't have anything in common with a billionaire. | Aug 28 20:34 |
| IsambardPrince | I didn't grow up on the south side of Chicago but I have more in common with someone who did than I do with Raja Krishnamoorthi. | Aug 28 20:35 |
| IsambardPrince | I'm very skeptical of Indians anyway, I probably shouldn't say that, but it's true. I haven't seen one Indian immigrant who was running an honest business, ever. | Aug 28 20:35 |
| IsambardPrince | They're all like Piyush or that dude that runs the Batteries Plus Bulbs where your phone swells up after he works on it and also breaks the fingerprint sensor, then he calls you at your house saying he's going to contact the police over your credit card dispute. | Aug 28 20:36 |
| IsambardPrince | He sells counterfeit batteries. | Aug 28 20:37 |
| IsambardPrince | They swell up, they break things, they cause the phone to complain that a counterfeit battery was detected. | Aug 28 20:37 |
| IsambardPrince | I learned a valuable lesson from that guy. | Aug 28 20:38 |
| IsambardPrince | When manufacturers say take it to an authorized repair center it's because they source better parts that are not going to break anything. | Aug 28 20:39 |
| IsambardPrince | I took a shot in the dark with this laptop and got a battery off Amazon for $38 that works fine. | Aug 28 20:40 |

| IsambardPrince | Step 1 with something like Apple TV is get them addicted even if it's losing money. | Aug 28 22:22 |
| IsambardPrince | Make expensive TV shows with high production values. | Aug 28 22:22 |

| admfubar | oh kiddo all the streaming services do this not just apple | Aug 28 22:23 |
| IsambardPrince | When there's enough subscribers play around with price increases. | Aug 28 22:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Modest at first to see how sticky your customer base is. | Aug 28 22:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Then more aggressive. | Aug 28 22:23 |
| IsambardPrince | When it looks like everyone is forgetting to cancel, you fill the app with garbage, produced cheaply. | Aug 28 22:24 |
| IsambardPrince | Raise prices aggressively. | Aug 28 22:24 |
| IsambardPrince | Introduce an ad-sponsored tier. | Aug 28 22:24 |
| IsambardPrince | [16:23] <admfubar> oh kiddo all the streaming services do this not just apple | Aug 28 22:24 |
| IsambardPrince | Right, the early Netflix streaming years were awesome. | Aug 28 22:25 |
| IsambardPrince | It was cheap. | Aug 28 22:25 |
| IsambardPrince | They ignored password sharing. | Aug 28 22:25 |
| IsambardPrince | You had stuff like Lost in Space or Altered Carbon, MST3K came back. | Aug 28 22:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Now you can watch all the Sharknado movies. And it's doubled in price. | Aug 28 22:26 |
| IsambardPrince | They promoted Lost in Space very hard. | Aug 28 22:27 |
| IsambardPrince | They even started wrapping L trains in Chicago in advertising for it. | Aug 28 22:27 |
| IsambardPrince | Things like this don't get canceled because ratings are bad. | Aug 28 22:28 |
| IsambardPrince | They get canceled because it's bleeding money. | Aug 28 22:28 |
| IsambardPrince | Every season they renew, the pay for the actors and crew goes up. | Aug 28 22:28 |
| IsambardPrince | Canceling a popular series without even bothering to wrap it up quickly makes sense from their end. | Aug 28 22:30 |
| IsambardPrince | It did what it was supposed to do. Drive subscriber growth. | Aug 28 22:30 |
| IsambardPrince | In the 1960s, canceling a popular series was unthinkable unless the ratings crashed. | Aug 28 22:30 |
| IsambardPrince | You spent years building the thing, the audience. | Aug 28 22:30 |
| IsambardPrince | Advertisers were willing to pay more every year it was on the air, budgets got bigger, sets and effects got better mid-series. This was even common in the 90s and 2000s. | Aug 28 22:31 |
| IsambardPrince | The economics of the future are somewhat different. -Picard :P | Aug 28 22:32 |

| IsambardPrince | The sticky board downstairs had several roaches and a spider. | Aug 28 22:50 |
| IsambardPrince | That tells me that there are spiders in the building because they're eating the roaches. | Aug 28 22:50 |
| IsambardPrince | I told my partner if he sees a roach kill it, if he sees a spider, just leave it alone. | Aug 28 22:51 |
| IsambardPrince | The spider has no interest in us but it could kill dozens of roach nymphs. | Aug 28 22:51 |

| IsambardPrince | [13:16] <schestowitz[TR2]> never experienced this before | Aug 28 22:52 |
| IsambardPrince | Call the water department and ask about it. | Aug 28 22:52 |
| IsambardPrince | I use Brita filters so I don't taste any of that crap anyway. | Aug 28 22:53 |
| IsambardPrince | Bottled water started out as something of a scam. 40 years ago when things were in better order. | Aug 28 22:54 |
| IsambardPrince | Then the infrastructure got totally neglected so congress could pay for wars and entitlement programs.. | Aug 28 22:54 |
| IsambardPrince | So people started having actual water quality issues, | Aug 28 22:54 |
| IsambardPrince | The bottled water companies don't pass out truckloads of water to places like Flint because they want to be charitable. | Aug 28 22:54 |
| IsambardPrince | They do it because you literally cannot buy advertising like this. | Aug 28 22:55 |
| IsambardPrince | They'll send 500 trucks full of water if every American looking at the news sees Dasani and Aquafina trucks pulling up. | Aug 28 22:55 |
| IsambardPrince | Brita got in on the action too, so did Pur and ZeroWater. | Aug 28 22:56 |
| IsambardPrince | They all sent their top of the line lead reduction filter cartridges and dispensers. | Aug 28 22:56 |
| IsambardPrince | The free stuff runs out and you have an entire city that will never trust their government again buying $18 filters. | Aug 28 22:56 |
| IsambardPrince | To say nothing about being on the news. | Aug 28 22:56 |
| IsambardPrince | I don't buy bottled water if I can help it. | Aug 28 22:57 |
| IsambardPrince | It's a vile business, what they did. | Aug 28 22:58 |
| IsambardPrince | They took something that people need to live, which was basically free and piped into every home, and they turned it into a $50 a month purchase at the grocery store. | Aug 28 22:58 |
| IsambardPrince | During the late 1980s and 1990s, brands like Dasani and Aquafina launched massive public relations campaigns designed to subtly link municipal tap water with impurity, chemical taint, and poor social status. | Aug 28 22:59 |
| IsambardPrince | They trained the consumer base to voluntarily purchase a highly compressed, plastic-packaged version of the exact same water, successfully moving millions of people off a stable public utility and onto an artificial, high-overhead corporate subscription. | Aug 28 23:00 |
| IsambardPrince | They put the idea in your mind that only a savage drinks out of the tap. | Aug 28 23:00 |
| MinceR | > will never trust their government again | Aug 28 23:01 |
| MinceR | if only | Aug 28 23:01 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: If their trust in government mattered, the Republicans wouldn't have suspended the government and installed a dictator who was the reason the water got poisoned in the first place. | Aug 28 23:47 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: The elected government still legally existed, but they couldn't spend money without the permission of a dictator installed by Governor Rick Snyder. | Aug 28 23:49 |
| MinceR | if the alleged "republicans" didn't trust government, they wouldn't have voted to make it even more overbearing and authoritarian, and to not have a choice in replacing it later | Aug 28 23:49 |
| IsambardPrince | The dictator wasn't up for election, answered only to the governor (who was installed by Michigan's white majority who didn't live anywhere near Flint), and had legal immunity for anything he did to them. | Aug 28 23:50 |
| IsambardPrince | His main job was to cut spending drastically and improve cash flow for the city's creditors, and that included switching to a cheaper water source and not buying the chemical that prevents lead pipes from deteriorating and leeching into the drinking water. | Aug 28 23:51 |
| IsambardPrince | General Motors had tried using the water from the Flint River before and it was so bad that it did millions of dollars worth of damage to their machinery and they had to go back to buying water from Detroit. | Aug 28 23:51 |
| MinceR | (not to mention also enforce religious rules, which apparently fits nicely into this idea of "small government") | Aug 28 23:52 |
| IsambardPrince | The Financial Dictator's job was to run Flint like Piyush ran the apartment building he bought from Mark. | Aug 28 23:52 |
| IsambardPrince | Cut trash removal, let the sinks back up vs. paying someone to snake them, don't clean anything, and quit masking the cockroach problem with cheap powders. | Aug 28 23:53 |
| IsambardPrince | Any money spent on basic upkeep was unacceptable. Piyush wasn't living in this hellhole so he didn't care what it devolved into. | Aug 28 23:54 |
| IsambardPrince | That's what the dictator of Flint was there to do. | Aug 28 23:56 |
| IsambardPrince | And the voters in Michigan voted to repeal that law at the ballot box. | Aug 28 23:56 |
| IsambardPrince | So the Republicans passed another one that was almost the same thing. | Aug 28 23:56 |
| IsambardPrince | The Democrats are running Michigan again, they've repealed the state's trigger law that was going to ban abortion and the so-called Right to Work law. | Aug 28 23:57 |
