The bank never complained, and it's unclear how much it lost, if anything. Bank officials called to testify couldnt say for sure if Trumps personal statement of worth had any impact on the rates." [06:34] DaemonFC They could say, they just don't want to. [06:34] DaemonFC The victim isn't really the bank, it's the American public. [06:35] DaemonFC For at least 5 years, he was getting those rates because he was a Presidential candidate using his false valuation statements as a fig leaf so they could justify the interest rates on the loans. [06:35] DaemonFC So this is tantamount to bribery, but they can't prove bribery, but they can prove he inflated the figures. [06:36] DaemonFC Regardless of what they've done in the past, the law isn't written so that there has to be a complaining victim. [06:37] DaemonFC Criminal law is like this a lot. The State can proceed whether the person it says was victimized wants the prosecution or not and the State can threaten them in all sorts of ways including facing criminal charges themselves if they don't turn on you. [06:37] DaemonFC It's only marginally relevant what I want out of the domestic violence proceedings against my ex. [06:38] DaemonFC The State would continue either way, they could charge me if they want me to testify against him and I refused to take the stand. [06:38] DaemonFC I have the right to make a Victim Impact Statement, which the judge legally has to "consider". [06:39] DaemonFC But how it weighs on the sentencing depends on the judge, not the law. [06:39] DaemonFC Given that what I want is irrelevant I plan to just stay out of it. The State's going to give him whatever it wants to do about this. [06:40] DaemonFC I made a Victim Impact Statement once about the effect of being held at gunpoint and threatened with being shot over my wallet and phone. [06:40] *Righty has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [06:40] DaemonFC The guy chambered a round and pointed the gun at my head. [06:41] DaemonFC I told the judge I wasn't sleeping well and that it just completely changed how I viewed everyone around me. From just being part of the scenery to being a threat every time I went to catch a bus or buy a sandwich. [06:41] DaemonFC He gave the guy house arrest. [06:42] DaemonFC I gave the prosecutor a printout of his Facebook page where he was flashing drugs, guns, and cash. [06:42] DaemonFC Didn't affect anything. [06:42] DaemonFC I felt that since the left is always blathering on about gun crime and needing MOAR LAWS, that something would be done about a gun crime. [06:43] DaemonFC Pardon the fuck out of me. [06:43] DaemonFC They could have gone after him and thrown him in the prison for 7 years. [06:43] DaemonFC He got 2 years house arrest and ordered to complete his GED. [06:44] DaemonFC In reality, Prosecutors throw away slam dunk cases all the time because whatever they get counts as a conviction and they don't want the guy that much. [06:44] DaemonFC So some really awful people pretty much skate and they're back out committing more crimes the same evening. [06:45] DaemonFC I don't know whether my ex will get any jail time. It's possible just due to the serious nature of the offense. The prosecutor could just wave that around and demand some jail time. [06:45] DaemonFC I looked at who will handle his case.

[08:05] DaemonFC Because of the environment on the moon. [08:06] DaemonFC In the broadest sense, Richard Stallman is kind of a lolcow. But unlike most lolcows he's found a way to at least make himself a useful member of society. [08:06] DaemonFC Nevertheless, that hasn't spared him from having a lolcow page.

[08:07] DaemonFC So calling RMS a lolcow is too severe in my opinion. [08:07] DaemonFC He's an eccentric person. [08:09] DaemonFC "Everywhere I go I see leftists supporting Palestine. Why is this? In Palestine troons and gays are thrown off buildings and there are literal murals of hitler. Meanwhile Israel is allowing idf troops to put pride flags on top of tanks. Why do they guard Palestine even though they do everything they accuse the right of doing in the west?" [08:09] DaemonFC US conservatives don't typically support beheadings for gay people, or trannies. [08:09] DaemonFC The Palestinian pigs do. [08:10] DaemonFC Anyone who calls themselves a "liberal" or "progressive" who supports these monsters can fuck right off. [08:10] DaemonFC Gaza is a raging shitfest because so many generations have been brainwashed by Hamas that everyone living there now is effectively Hamas. [08:12] DaemonFC Israel is well within their rights to drive them out, kill the terrorists, and take the whole thing if they want it. I used to be on the fence about the legality of the Jewish settlements but now I really don't give a damn. [08:14] DaemonFC Many countries have repeatedly been the victim of radical Islamic terrorism. [08:14] DaemonFC But the UK is so cucked that you can't say shit about it even after the bus bombings. [08:15] DaemonFC The only thing wrong with Trump's Muslim Travel Ban was that it only had poor Islamic countries on it. [08:15] DaemonFC While it is true that those are even more violent and trashy than Islam tends to be on average, the rich ones are usually only rich because oil made them rich thugs. [08:16] DaemonFC I would say that as, functionally, an atheist. [08:17] DaemonFC Is there the slightest, most remote possibility that there is a "creator God" or something? Sure. I mean, it's an unfalsifiable claim. [08:18] DaemonFC I find it more disturbing that the Christians would be right though, or the Muslims, or anyone. [08:18] DaemonFC I mean, if the Christians are right, 99% of Japan is going to Hell. [08:19] DaemonFC You have basically an entire country where almost everyone who is born, lives, and dies, goes to Hell. [08:19] DaemonFC That's a disturbing image. [08:19] DaemonFC One the Christians never really want to talk about. [08:19] DaemonFC Not every country is a Christian country because it's not established there. Never has been. [08:20] DaemonFC People usually find some other crazy thing to believe in because of independent discovery. [08:21] DaemonFC Some countries are like North Korea. Doesn't matter how good or bad people there are because the government has wiped Christianity and every other religion out by censorship. [08:21] DaemonFC So everyone who is born or dies in North Korea goes to Hell. [08:21] DaemonFC Doesn't matter if they were a nice person. They were born in the wrong place. HELL. [08:22] DaemonFC It's a very disturbing idea. [08:22] DaemonFC The idea that the United States is a Christian country is a ridiculous idea. Thanks to the left it's just a cacophony of trash. [08:22] DaemonFC There's no social cohesion at all. [08:24] DaemonFC "The modern left is stuck in an idea that the weak side is always morally righteous irregardless of its beliefs. It's as simple as that." [08:25] DaemonFC Yeah, that. [08:25] DaemonFC So you can have people who are just fucking gross and weird (like Keith) and leftists will overlook that he's a shitty terrible person who abandoned his girls, cheated on his taxes, etc. because he wears a dress. [08:26] DaemonFC Or even worse, terrorists like the Palestinians/Hamas, because "brown people".

[08:47] DaemonFC > A Walmart employee, Felicia Darling, captured the incident on camera, and the video quickly went viral. It shows the toddler, wearing only a diaper, being placed in a cold shopping cart by Darby. [08:47] DaemonFC > Despite the freezing 20-degree weather, Darby appeared unfazed and appropriately dressed herself. The situation turned into a heated confrontation, with other shoppers getting involved as the video spread online. [08:47] DaemonFC > This incident has sparked public outcry due to the apparent disregard for the childs well-being. After her arrest, Darby was taken to the Hinds County Detention Center. [08:47] DaemonFC > However, she was later released on bond, raising questions about the adequacy of the legal response to this troubling case of child neglect. [08:47] DaemonFC --- [08:48] DaemonFC She's black so they cut her loose. It would be systemic oppression to keep her in jail and find a good home for the child. Good home being mother who isn't too busy playing on her iPhone to care that her baby is only dressed in a diaper while there's freezing rain coming down.

He stated that the people at Pixar had always pictured WALLE as "a trash compactor" when the idea for the movie was first discussed. He reversed-engineered the idea on why WALLE was cleaning up the planet and why the Earth was covered in trash and the idea of what [08:52] DaemonFC if a company was the government. [08:52] DaemonFC --- [08:53] DaemonFC A company was the government. Disney created a city in Florida and then spun it off. Within about 20 years it was falling over because their planned community was all made out of ticky tacky. [08:54] DaemonFC They kept county government-like control over Reedy Creek Improvement District for over 60 years and only lost it by foisting so much woke garbage on people that DeSantis took over and people boycotted Disney. [08:54] DaemonFC The woke mob laughed it off at first, but then Disney started collapsing, most notably with Pixar itself. [08:54] DaemonFC Which laid off about a quarter of the company recently. [08:55] DaemonFC I don't like to say "gay community" because an individual who says "community" will be judged by the grossest and most perverse examples of that community. [08:56] DaemonFC If you say "gay community" people will lump you in with that guy at the Health Department who basically said he wanted to fuck my spouse and the people on Grindr getting it on and sharing the MonkeyPox in the public park bushes. [08:57] DaemonFC If you say "Trans Community", you get lumped in with the Lobster and Keith. [08:58] DaemonFC The San Francisco Health Department basically said the quiet part out loud. The people at-risk for MonkeyPox are the "subset" that are using poppers, drugs, and having several anonymous sex partners each night. [08:59] DaemonFC Ass so loose they could fit a watermelon in it. So like, "just find all the gays and jab em." is deeply insulting. [08:59] DaemonFC Here we have the Health Department calling us because they stereotype. ● Jan 29 [09:02] DaemonFC There may be little risk, or a lot of risk, from the MonkeyPox jab, it may or may not work.

[09:19] DaemonFC I'd rather take even a couple of days to get somewhere than go through TSA. [09:20] DaemonFC Probably the worst thing TSA did to this country is get people used to the idea that they had to "submit" just to get on a plane and go somewhere. [09:20] DaemonFC And so once it had people in the "submit" mindset, it didn't stop with air travel.

[10:04] DaemonFC It says it's a felony to ask for a change of name if you're a murderer or on the sex offender registry or a convicted sexual predator, or have been convicted of domestic violence, unless you say "religion", "marriage", or "tranny" as the reason for the name change. [10:05] DaemonFC It's a felony to fill the form out and submit it to the court even if you answer YES and say you were convicted of one of those things and the date and punishment. [10:07] DaemonFC For "have you ever been convicted of or placed on probation for a misdemeanor" question is just a yes or no. There is no need to explain yourself, and it'll most likely get approved unless it was domestic violence, which is its own question, and which makes it a felony to submit a name change. [10:08] DaemonFC You have to submit the form and then put a notice in the paper three times in three weeks in a row and prove it. [10:08] DaemonFC Unless you tell them you're a victim of domestic abuse and are afraid that publishing it would put you in physical danger. [10:08] DaemonFC Then you don't have to do that. [10:09] DaemonFC So I could file a name change form and say "victim of domestic abuse". [10:09] DaemonFC Is it likely my ex would be reading the local news? No. But they just say you don't have to if you get the waiver. Of course this triggers a hearing where you may be asked to explain the situation.

For this process, to keep it in line with most referendums in real world [22:56] DaemonFC jurisdictions, a simple majority vote was chosen. [22:56] DaemonFC > Voters will be asked which elements need to be changed and why. If the vote produces a majority "no" vote, the UCoC project team will anonymize and publish the reasons given by "no" voters. Members of the U4C Building Committee will look at improvements to the Charter based on concerns raised in the voting process. Similar to this process, the revisions will be published for review, and a second vote will be held. [22:57] DaemonFC MinceR: I voted no based on dislike of CoCs in general.
