[00:42]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz-pi, Humberto figured it out. Where the water was coming from.
[00:42]	IsambardPrince	The sump pump for the entire basement is in that apartment where the nasty woman with the cheap cigars and her husband that yells at her lives.
[00:42]	IsambardPrince	It stopped working and they didn't say anything.
[00:44]	IsambardPrince	So there's one problem that got solved.
[00:44]	IsambardPrince	I love how my landlord went full Anatoly Dyatlov on me.
[00:44]	IsambardPrince	"You didn't see water in the hallway."
[00:44]	IsambardPrince	Yes I did.
[00:44]	IsambardPrince	"No you didn't because it's not THERE!"

[01:00]	IsambardPrince	I think the primary infestation is in the unghunghung lady's apartment, but some get in here and I zap them as I see them.
[01:37]	IsambardPrince	"[]BearBleu
[01:37]	IsambardPrince	
[01:37]	IsambardPrince	 105 points an hour ago* 
[01:37]	IsambardPrince	Im an immigrant from the USSR. It never occurred to any of my family to go out waiving the Soviet flag. On the contrary, we never wanted to see one again. We were (still are) so grateful to be here that we wanted to learn English and assimilate and become Americans. Not Soviet- American, not Ukrainian-American, not Russian-American, but American.
[01:37]	IsambardPrince	Its mind boggling that someone can come here illegally, demand benefits, insist on being allowed to stay while waiving their home country flag and trashing America, attacking our citizens, lashing out at our police. How is that even remotely acceptable?"
[01:37]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, ^
[01:39]	IsambardPrince	Yeah, all these people that hate us come here, demand stuff, trash talk us, and fly the flag of the shitty country that they hated so much that they left.
[01:39]	IsambardPrince	It is unbelievable that we even allow this.
[01:39]	IsambardPrince	They should be dropping so much tear gas on these crowds waving foreign flags around that they run screaming the other way across the border.
[01:40]	IsambardPrince	If you don't want to live there, don't wave their flag. If you want to wave a Mexican flag, wave it in fucking Mexico.
[01:40]	MinceR	freedom of speech?
[01:40]	MinceR	it's going away.
[01:40]	IsambardPrince	I'm not mad that Mexicans want to live here, so to speak.
[01:40]	MinceR	so i wouldn't worry too much about it.
[01:41]	MinceR	also, the "conservative" method to keep people out of the country is being implemented already
[01:41]	IsambardPrince	But they should have to bring something to the table. Not just be perpetually needy and waving huge-ass flags in our face, Mexican flags.
[01:41]	MinceR	(make the country so shit that nobody will want to live in it)
[01:41]	IsambardPrince	Refusing to speak to us in English.
[01:41]	IsambardPrince	You either want to live here or you don't.
[01:41]	IsambardPrince	If you don't, then leave.
[01:41]	MinceR	i suspect the people who hire them believe they do bring something to the table
[01:42]	IsambardPrince	Probably.
[01:42]	IsambardPrince	Lower wages for American workers.
[01:42]	IsambardPrince	That's the only reason the companies like Walmart preferentially hired all those illegal immigrants Biden gave TPS to.
[01:42]	IsambardPrince	Trump took it away and Walmart had to disgorge itself of them.
[01:42]	IsambardPrince	And now wages are climbing again.
[01:43]	IsambardPrince	Because there's fewer people they can threaten you with who want jobs.
[01:43]	IsambardPrince	I'm certainly no fan of Trump, I hage Kristi Noem...
[01:43]	IsambardPrince	But I would have taken the TPS away from all those people and give them their bag and baggage letters too.
[01:43]	IsambardPrince	*hate
[01:43]	IsambardPrince	We don't need 5 million people here who have no legal future in America.
[01:44]	IsambardPrince	Who will get old but don't qualify for Social Security.
[01:44]	IsambardPrince	So they can get going now.
[01:44]	IsambardPrince	And this also takes some of the strain off our welfare system.
[01:44]	IsambardPrince	Because without TPS they have to stop using food stamps and Medicaid.
[01:45]	IsambardPrince	No, I don't want 6 million Biden Peasants here.
[01:45]	IsambardPrince	Bidding down wages by several dollars an hour, as all my bills go up.
[01:45]	IsambardPrince	Fuck that.
[01:45]	IsambardPrince	If the Democrats are so thick they cannot figure out why they lost...
[01:45]	IsambardPrince	I'd be happy to meet with them and give them the news.
[01:47]	MinceR	ok, but have you updated the formatting of the cover sheet of the TPS report?
[01:51]		*SomeGoat has quit (connection closed)
[01:51]	IsambardPrince	I'll just go ahead and get you another copy of that memo, mmkay? Great!
[01:51]	IsambardPrince	My landlord, only white.
[01:51]	IsambardPrince	It's just that we're trying to optimize my lipid before I have a stroke.
[01:51]	IsambardPrince	Can't check out too early. The tenants might have some money left to steal and give to my son.
[01:51]	IsambardPrince	:D
[01:52]	IsambardPrince	*lipid panel
[01:52]	IsambardPrince	That's all rich people do is steal from people "lower" than them and pass down stolen money to their vile children.
[01:53]	MinceR	:)

[02:01]	IsambardPrince	So his son is some nepo baby who is only racially Indian.
[02:01]	IsambardPrince	He's never been to India probably and wouldn't like it if he did go there.
[02:01]	IsambardPrince	He won't ever have to work and his dad is likely raising a monster.
[02:02]	MinceR	ironic how the only real monsters don't have an entry in the Monster Manual
[02:03]	IsambardPrince	Yeah, asshole landlord from India isn't in there.
[02:03]	IsambardPrince	It would be considered offensive.
[02:03]	IsambardPrince	Therefore you can't talk about what everyone fucking knows.
[02:04]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I told my physical therapist all about him.
[02:04]	IsambardPrince	I said I have designated him a skinflint and a feather merchant.
[02:04]	IsambardPrince	She asked what that meant.
[02:04]	IsambardPrince	I said a skinflint is a person who does not want to spend money and tends to extort money from others, and a feather merchant is a person who is lazy and doesn't want to do any work.
[02:25]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Once he optimizes the lipid panel he can milk the cash cows and execute more 1035s.
[02:25]	IsambardPrince	A life well lived, contributing to the economy.

[03:49]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, So the landlord is basically warning his investors that mass deportation is not good for his business.
[03:49]	IsambardPrince	Because it lowers the heat on the rental market.
[03:50]	IsambardPrince	When they're too scared to show up at work or have their work permits revoked there's less of them that can afford a house.
[03:50]	IsambardPrince	Or apartment.
[03:50]	IsambardPrince	When people get deported, there's less that need one.
[03:50]	schestowitz[TR3]	what does dave ramsey say?
[03:50]	IsambardPrince	So suddenly the rental market is no longer red hot.
[03:50]	schestowitz[TR3]	was it ever?
[03:50]	IsambardPrince	It has been.
[03:50]	schestowitz[TR3]	or did jim cramer say that?
[03:51]	IsambardPrince	They avoided building much.
[03:51]	IsambardPrince	At the same time Biden let over 6 million people come pouring in.
[03:51]	IsambardPrince	Too many people competing for not enough stuff = massive price hikes.
[03:51]	IsambardPrince	So I do agree with my dad on that aspect of it.

[03:53]	IsambardPrince	Yes. That's entirely their fault too.
[03:53]	IsambardPrince	They made life hell for citizens, so the birthrate crashes.
[03:54]	IsambardPrince	The only ones who were having kids were idiots and immigrants.
[03:54]	IsambardPrince	Both for the same reason.
[03:54]	IsambardPrince	They're used to living in hell anyway.
[03:54]	IsambardPrince	That's why Venezuela emptied out under Maduro.
[03:54]	IsambardPrince	People that couldn't live there anymore or were miserable decided to flee and become economic migrants.
[03:55]	IsambardPrince	Anywhere they ended up would be better, including Mexico.
[03:55]	IsambardPrince	Mexico offered to take them all in.
[03:55]	IsambardPrince	And they kept going to the US because it was never about asylum.

[08:58]	geert	it seems to me that sex offender stuff got to do with rewarding egoism more than quality within group context too
[08:59]	geert	like basically all crime kinda got to do with giving in to egoism
[08:59]	geert	so i think we basically get met with many effects humankind kind of collectively invites systematically as it appears to me
● Jul 29
[09:00]	geert	expectable effects*
[09:00]	geert	also, i don't think sexuality is prescribed in dna, such as hetero sexuality or otherwise, i think dna kind of describes gender, not sexuality though
[09:01]	geert	to me sexuality more of seem nurture effects so to speak, with i think quite much evidence around
[09:02]	geert	imagine e.g. about that tribe in africa where women kinda get off to LARGE bellies with men
[09:02]	geert	if a girl or boy who got born in western countries with western dna so to speak grows up there, they will most likely follow up to those nurture effects
[09:03]	geert	thats also how i think people would appear more paedophile when growing up in areas where it is considered more socially acceptable
[09:04]	geert	or people born in those areas would appear less pedo when they would grow up in areas offering them different social constraints
[09:04]	geert	i think sexuality is kind of similar to taste development, if a kid with whatever specific dna grows up in particular areas in thailand, this kid is likely to enjoy hot food at young age
[09:05]	geert	if the same kid (or say e.g. other twin dna) grows up in areas where this hot spicy food is less appreciated, the kid is most likely to reject the same hot foods in the same age, with the same dna
[09:05]	geert	i think with sexuality it is pretty similar, which development i see related to social / cultural constraints

[09:09]	geert	e.g. one might get to consider how specific sexuality issues were considered (much) more of socially acceptable throughout western countries many years ago..
[09:10]	geert	such as in regard to forced marriage, the practice of parents giving their childs away to others to gain/maintain social status etc.
[09:10]	geert	at staggering young ages even, pretty much part of much western history
[09:11]	geert	i even got information about it already being considered way past established science in some supposed 'world leaders' eyes, who currently appear to try misposition sexuality stuff to instill conflict to exploit with
[09:12]	geert	who pretty much deliberately try keep it from many common faculty peoples eyes, likewise to subjects as what somewhat sensationally gets called psychotronics or still trying to position current economical system as if anything like capitalism
[09:13]	geert	basically trying to keep issues in tact, considering knowledge as power, lusting for power disguised as if eager to know, trying to keep issues in tact to try keep others from the knowledge they consider their power so to speak
[09:15]	geert	like e.g. some state that during conflict more rapid development would be achieved, in partly such manner aiming for conflict as if profitable, shifting approach from conflict as undesirable that should be mitigated as common interest to conflict as desirable / profitable that should be directed to maximize common interest perspective
[09:16]	geert	'some state' should rather be formulated as 'some people stating'
[09:18]	geert	to describe in another manner; some say conflict is basically inevitable with humans and thus pretty much constantly happening though the ones constitutionally positioning conflict as undesirable hence enforce themselves to follow up on the inevitably happening conflict then directed by others as opposed to those who embrace the conflict as inevitable who try to direct it pretty much taking lead and 
[09:18]	geert	forcing others to follow up, some say such 'taking lead' would be AND more profitable plus they direct instead of follow up others so to speak

[21:24]	geert	but hey peeps dont get depresed too much, preferably, if we get discuss issues we probably dont talk about things going too allright, but it doesnt take down the fact that theres MUCH more possibilities than difficulties
[21:24]	geert	still, every day and every night and every moment
[21:25]	geert	so pls i know some tryna roll out some horrific kind of vierten reich, but i got know many are finding out
[21:26]	geert	yea i should better watch out and mix more positivity in between remarks
[21:26]	psydroid3	lol
[21:26]	geert	theres so much plenty of positivity available
[21:27]	geert	yea so much fun since the nazi like arent so smart so to speak
[21:27]	psydroid3	we're all a bunch of happy shiny people, pinky promise
[21:27]	geert	like some wanted to follow me with pushing intelligence means on my back, so i got to utliize it to inform many leo about corruption
[21:27]	geert	which i got quite the effect with honestly
[21:27]	geert	and the nazi like couldnt even beat it halfway lol
[21:28]	geert	psydruid yea to take measures if you feel need to is different than taking measures depressed manner
[21:29]	geert	i get it if you move, actually i got some things prepared, pretty serious, if they dont get to kill me meanwhile (which i consider unlikely considering how much is around and how angry some more professional striving shown to feel themselves)
[21:29]	geert	but we shouldnt let them aspirant nazi like scum bury the energetic positive we get possiblity to inside so to speak
[21:29]	geert	:))
[21:29]	geert	bbiab tea and look at the fence hehehe
[21:30]	psydroid3	through the fence, you mean? :)
[21:30]	geert	putting lightbulb off meanwhile, so kinda a bit dark, with tea, looking at the fence, prolly mesmerizing a bit about some stuff
[21:30]	psydroid3	always have a camera or two ready to spy on the spies
[21:30]	geert	yea through the fence as well, at least its not such ugly wall as back in march a few days
[21:30]	geert	heh i got plenty of curious people around who wanted a rare see into corruption that is rarely seen like this
[21:31]	geert	so well they pretty much hunted heh
[21:31]	geert	i guess they 'heard' something psydroid :)))
[21:31]	psydroid3	:)
[21:31]	geert	like i got to try convey message like this: within nato there is talk about external threats, and now some corrupt goons tryna this internally stuff like that
[21:32]	geert	since serious intel/security services arent planning to play any regular persons butler, which wouldnt be there job as well, its pretty understandable
[21:32]	geert	but i do feel kinda heavy regarding supposed victims that dont get to realize that kind of stuff
[21:32]	geert	coz some of em culprits nasty man
[21:32]	geert	still i appointed not to talk so much about it in the channel, many people in here got many other things on their minds too :)
[21:33]	geert	bbiab tea and fence, and yea, looking a bit through as well :)
[21:34]	geert	im happy quite some people i get in more direct touch with, operational personell, dont appear too much willing to cooperate with nasty corruption, they just dont appear to realize much about the situation, which im happy about in some aspects, i think its better than deliberate cooperation with some specific nazi like :))
[21:34]	geert	personnel*
[21:35]	geert	wouldnt be their job*
[21:35]	geert	man i kinda get schesto headache remark, commencing to better improve *now*
[21:36]	geert	bbiab 'tea + watching through fence in kinda dark time'

[23:45]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I know where the roaches like to hide now.
[23:46]	IsambardPrince	So a few times a day I check and if there's any there, I zap them with the electric flyswatter.
[23:46]	IsambardPrince	To defeat the bug, we must understand the bug.
[23:46]	MinceR	it is afraid!
[23:57]	IsambardPrince	It's afraid!
