schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> Anyway, I did the best I could for yyyy.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> We have a two income household.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> I bring in plenty of money on my side and you act like I'm living off my spouse.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> No, that record wasn't interfering with my life other than the embarrassment when I went to apply for apartments, and now it can't even do that.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> Without my blood, sweat, and tears, yyyyy would be in zzzz right now.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<schestowitz[TR]> rightApr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> Or maybe with his brother who wasn't feeding him while he was working on the farm.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<schestowitz[TR]> but you are like his valetApr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> I make about 80% of what yyyyy does.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> That's hardly loading off of him.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> *loafingApr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> It's hardly fair to say one spouse is loafing because there's a 20% disparity in income.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<schestowitz[TR]> no need for race sterotypes in ircApr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> That's true in probably more than 80% of marriages.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> It's impossible for there to be a 100% match unless you both do exactly the same thing.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<schestowitz[TR]> you never told me what you do for incomeApr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> No, I didn't.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> But Mandy is lucky that I have shit figured out.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<schestowitz[TR]> you change subjectApr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> There is always a Plan B for everything when it comes to me. That whole court nonsense was like Ron DeSantis v. Disney.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> They passed those covenants in the middle of the night while he thought he was about to pwn them.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> I can't even tell you all of the ways that the state was playing checkers on a chessboard.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<schestowitz[TR]> what is your job?Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<schestowitz[TR]> [silence]Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> Yeah, pretty much.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> It's not illegal.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> It's not unethical.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<schestowitz[TR]> you wapply for jobsApr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<schestowitz[TR]> working to expungeApr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> If you've not really noticed, I'm not a people person.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<schestowitz[TR]> but tell me you make like 20+ k per yearApr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> I see systems for what they are, I dismantle them in my head, and I figure out what they don't see.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> And it's a useful skill.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> But people don't like me.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> They really don't.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<schestowitz[TR]> and who pay fro that?Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> I should have been more than I am now. But that's over with.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> I should have become a lawyer or something.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> It seems like I'm always paying them and then telling them what the plan is.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> Anyway, bbiab.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<schestowitz[TR]> so no answerApr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<schestowitz[TR]> i think you are bluffingApr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<schestowitz[TR]> butApr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<schestowitz[TR]> i will give you the benefit of the doubtApr 11 07:42

schestowitz[TR]<schestowitz[TR]> as cleverApr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<schestowitz[TR]> unfortunateApr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<schestowitz[TR]> having been unlucky with cardsApr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<schestowitz[TR]> tone down the racism a bitApr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<schestowitz[TR]> dial down the stereotypesApr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<schestowitz[TR]> people used that against the siteApr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> Well, shit happens.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> Someone has to clean it up.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> That's all that situation really was. John threw shit all over me and got the police in on the action.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> And I had to set out to dismantle a bomb with the unfortunate position of having a police department and a state prosecutor who ignored all of the child fuckers and Walmart arsonists and drive by shootings for a moment to mess with me.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> Needlessly.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> So yes, I still am quite mad about that and I doubt it'll ever go away entirely. Before, I thought the government was just lousy but oh well and now I absolutely hate them.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> There's basically nothing the government does here that's important.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> It sits back and watches all the crime happen.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> Catch-and-release. That goddamned prosecutor could be lifted straight out of San Francisco or Portland.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> I'm dismayed that they had the time to deal with me.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> And then to tie up more court time objecting to my expungement then going "No we won't fight this. He's not a danger to the community. We never had much of a case." after I had to pay the lawyer another $400 to show up in person.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> Anyway, it strikes me when I read the news and the person they're in there arresting has made incriminating statements.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> It does not matter what they have already, you are your own worst enemy. They have whatever they have, but you can always seal the deal.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> Then they just forget why they're in court and let 'em go, apparently.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> After treating me to the full shebang.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> Over some misdemeanor crap that I didn't even do.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> I can see why your sister wants out of this country.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> It would only be considered an upgrade if you are rich enough to gate yourself off and hire private security, or if you came here from a place with nothing, like, well most of the world I guess, so there's still THAT.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> Canada manages to keep crime down for a few reasons we can't.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> 1. They have a very racist immigration system that's tighter than what even Donald Trump was trying to do.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> So they don't let in people who even give off the slightest whiff that they could ever make trouble at any time in the future.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> 2. They never had slavery, so there's not a lot of "legacy" of "not their best" that ended up in Canada.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> So they're lucky on two fronts and smart on another in a way the United States isn't. They don't have the criminal element, and they don't want it, and they'll deal with any that springs up.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> They're just "very polite".Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> So all of these countries that gawk at the US don't really understand what we're dealing with.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> It's uncontrolled immigration without much deterrence or enforcement or control over who comes here.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> And it's festering pile of shit left over from Slavery.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> And it's leftist prosecutors that won't touch it because the criminals got the upper hand at the ballot box and put them in office.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> It's not really THAT hard for most people to file papers with Immigration and make it legal.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> I mean, fuck. I managed to bring a case before them for Mandy while in bankruptcy and living in a motel.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> And with me facing criminal charges.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> So I don't want to hear excuses about just sneaking in and never filing papers.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> If I could do this, then I don't want to hear some sob story about some latte-siping asshole who has had 20 years working at Microsoft to sock away money and fight USCIS.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> They could have if they wanted to.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> What did they do?Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> There are all kinds of options.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> Instead, people complain. Complaining and not fighting gets you nothing.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> So, if they end up on a plane back to India, a lot of them, that's on them.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> They had more resources to fight USCIS and win than I ever started with.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> Microsoft hired way too many people with aggressive expansion in mind.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> These people benefited from a program where they never should have been in the country to begin with.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> So I do have to wonder what they did with the money they should have saved.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> It's not that hard to get a loan from the SBA.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> They could have invested the money and incorporated as a franchisee of something and then said they were putting money into a US business.Apr 11 07:42
schestowitz[TR]<xxxxx> Instead they bought big houses and Teslas, on a visa that says they get a one way plane ticket back if anything happens at Microsoft.Apr 11 07:42
