| DaemonFC | [17:31] <psydruid> it's a very expensive mandatory insurance scam when people could get health insurance at maybe half the amount they would pay for Medicare | Apr 29 00:42 |
|---|---|---|
| DaemonFC | US Medicare? | Apr 29 00:42 |
| DaemonFC | You're not going to get a cheaper private insurance plan than that. | Apr 29 00:43 |
| psydruid | How much is it now? $600? | Apr 29 00:51 |
| DaemonFC | The Part B premium, which is outpatient, is the largest part of it. | Apr 29 00:55 |
| DaemonFC | Like $160-something for most people I think. | Apr 29 00:56 |
| DaemonFC | The Part D (prescriptions) can be anywhere from $18-60 a month depending on which plan you want. | Apr 29 00:56 |
| DaemonFC | Most people don't pay Part A. | Apr 29 00:56 |
| DaemonFC | A is the hospital inpatient part. | Apr 29 00:56 |
| psydruid | That's a lot cheaper than what I saw before, but still kind of expensive | Apr 29 00:57 |
| DaemonFC | Not compared to private insurance. | Apr 29 00:58 |
| psydruid | It's €240 here, which is also a lot more than it used to be | Apr 29 00:58 |
| DaemonFC | If you have to pay the entire cost of a private insurance policy it's going to run you at least several hundred a month, and even then it won't be as good as Medicare. | Apr 29 00:58 |
| DaemonFC | Because it's easier for them to deny claims, require "step therapies" they know won't work to try to cause you to die, and do other bullshit. | Apr 29 00:58 |
| psydruid | So private insurance is only for the rich? | Apr 29 00:59 |
| DaemonFC | And your deductibles are going to run from $2,000 to $10,000 a year. | Apr 29 00:59 |
| DaemonFC | psydruid: That's the best part. | Apr 29 00:59 |
| DaemonFC | They give the shittiest insurance that pays the least to the people who don't have a lot of money. | Apr 29 00:59 |
| DaemonFC | So they still lose everything if they get sick, even with the insurance. | Apr 29 00:59 |
| DaemonFC | Private insurance companies negotiate group discounts, but it is not fee for service like Medicare is. | Apr 29 01:00 |
| DaemonFC | Medicare pays the Approved Amount and you pay no more than 20% of that amount. | Apr 29 01:00 |
| DaemonFC | With a private insurance plan, you start out wondering what they'll even cover, but there's no way to know for sure until the bill comes. | Apr 29 01:00 |
| DaemonFC | Then you have to meet your deductible before the insurance has actually paid any of their money towards your healthcare. | Apr 29 01:01 |
| DaemonFC | Until you reach the deductible, you get their "network discount", but only if the care was "in network" and approved. | Apr 29 01:01 |
| DaemonFC | psydruid: So basically what their incentives are, are roughly this: | Apr 29 01:01 |
| DaemonFC | Charge you, the policy holder, or the government (subsidies) a fucking fortune. | Apr 29 01:02 |
| DaemonFC | Set the deductible so high that you'd have to have a tractor run over you to get there during a plan year. Then reset it every plan year on January 1st. | Apr 29 01:02 |
| DaemonFC | Deny everything they possibly can. | Apr 29 01:02 |
| DaemonFC | Keep you in the dark about what will be approved to discourage you from seeking out healthcare because you don't know what they'll actually cover until they process that claim. | Apr 29 01:03 |
| DaemonFC | If they cover a condition and approve the service, they step in and tell your doctor to try cheaper things that probably won't work. Their goal is if you're seriously ill, by the time they force your doctor to quit fucking around, you'll be dead. | Apr 29 01:04 |
| DaemonFC | Then if you go past the deductible, they might actually pay something, but in almost all cases, the house wins. | Apr 29 01:04 |
| DaemonFC | :D | Apr 29 01:04 |
| DaemonFC | Becaue everything leading up to that huge deductible is not actually costing them anything. | Apr 29 01:04 |
| DaemonFC | Before Obamacare, the deductibles were usually like no more than $500-1000 per year. | Apr 29 01:05 |
| DaemonFC | After Obamacare, a typical person has to pay one that is almost never less than $2,500, and a more typical one can be $5,000, $6,000, or even $10,000. | Apr 29 01:05 |
| DaemonFC | They get bigger every year while the Democrats talk about how "premium growth has been contained". | Apr 29 01:06 |
| DaemonFC | By that logic, make the deductible $50,000 a year and sell the policy for $80 a month! | Apr 29 01:06 |
| psydruid | I'm amazed at how messed up does all of this look lol | Apr 29 01:06 |
| psydruid | looks* | Apr 29 01:06 |
| DaemonFC | It's worse than I could even describe it. | Apr 29 01:06 |
| DaemonFC | They keep it so opaque that you never know what to do, by design. | Apr 29 01:07 |
| DaemonFC | psydruid: Last year, my spouse had so many medical costs he was past his deductible anyway. | Apr 29 01:07 |
| DaemonFC | So I decided to go for broke and have the ENT get him in for like $70,000 worth of surgery on his ear that he never got because nobody has that amount of money. | Apr 29 01:08 |
| psydruid | I think my parents would simply die in the US considering they're retired and just get some pension and/or disability money | Apr 29 01:08 |
| DaemonFC | And it maxed out his out of pocket cap (a catastrophic coverage thing) and we ended up getting the surgery in pretty cheap. | Apr 29 01:08 |
| DaemonFC | psydruid: Medicare isn't that bad. | Apr 29 01:09 |
| DaemonFC | You go to the doctor and even without Medigap, the visit is like $27 or something after your small deductible. | Apr 29 01:09 |
| DaemonFC | You go to get labs and it usually doesn't cost anything at all. | Apr 29 01:09 |
| DaemonFC | Old people get pretty much whatever they want because they vote. | Apr 29 01:09 |
| DaemonFC | And the politicians take it out of everyone else's butts because they aren't so reliable about voting. | Apr 29 01:10 |
| DaemonFC | If everyone else got together and voted and formed a lobbying group called "We don't want to pay for this shit." Medicare would go away. | Apr 29 01:10 |
| DaemonFC | It's as simple as that. | Apr 29 01:10 |
| DaemonFC | It's single payer healthcare, but only for the reliable voting bloc. | Apr 29 01:10 |
| DaemonFC | It makes sense if you think about it. | Apr 29 01:11 |
| DaemonFC | If they don't vote, don't give them anything. | Apr 29 01:11 |
| DaemonFC | You're not on their radar. Your opinions don't matter. If you protest, the police will come out with guns, pepper spray, and zip ties. | Apr 29 01:11 |

| DaemonFC | The crackdown on these protests is happening because the voter turnout rate is pretty much nil in that age group anyway. | Apr 29 01:12 |
| DaemonFC | So what they want doesn't matter. And pissing them off has no consequences. | Apr 29 01:12 |
| psydruid | Are those the pro-Hamas protests? Or are there other protests as well? | Apr 29 01:13 |

| DaemonFC | schestowitz-pi2: If we move I'll lose my $10 a month internet access. That'll suck. | Apr 29 03:27 |
| DaemonFC | But this place is fucking gross. | Apr 29 03:27 |
| DaemonFC | The landlord has given up even taking the garbage. | Apr 29 03:28 |
| DaemonFC | I emailed photos to the code enforcement office of this mess. | Apr 29 03:28 |
| DaemonFC | The last straw was when I stepped in shit. I don't even want to know what left that there. | Apr 29 03:29 |
| techrights-sec3 | i see | Apr 29 03:38 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | well, it is good news you got your mom to ER | Apr 29 03:39 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i am sure they saw cases like her before | Apr 29 03:39 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | old and stubborn | Apr 29 03:39 |
| DaemonFC | She's back home now. They gave her some IV fluids and discharged her. | Apr 29 03:40 |
| DaemonFC | I'm telling you, they don't really care. | Apr 29 03:40 |
| DaemonFC | But she's going to a specialist tomorrow. | Apr 29 03:40 |
| DaemonFC | It's sad that I had to get on the horn with my uncle down in Georgia. | Apr 29 03:40 |
| DaemonFC | He called and got after her and said that if she didn't do something, he was going to get together with me and my cousins and we were going to involve the authorities. | Apr 29 03:41 |
| techrights-sec3 | I hope that is getting resolved | Apr 29 03:41 |
| techrights-sec3 | It sounds like some progress has been made | Apr 29 03:41 |
| DaemonFC | There seems to be some, yes. I'm hoping that this specialist knows what he's doing. | Apr 29 03:42 |
| DaemonFC | Our system is in total decay. | Apr 29 03:42 |
| DaemonFC | I would have felt better about her going to the doctor if this was 30 years ago and some of them still gave a damn. | Apr 29 03:42 |
| DaemonFC | Medical technology is better today, but the doctors are all a bunch of idiots and creeps and weirdos. | Apr 29 03:43 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | gm | Apr 29 03:43 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i am processing my publication "order" | Apr 29 03:43 |
| DaemonFC | It's like everything else. They figure bring the doctors in from third world countries where women are not treated as people. | Apr 29 03:43 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | to make it easier to follow | Apr 29 03:43 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | ioerror comes towards the end | Apr 29 03:43 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i really liked that mumble chat - useful to have those once in 1-2 months | Apr 29 03:43 |
| DaemonFC | Then raise the cost of healthcare sky high. | Apr 29 03:44 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | they are property | Apr 29 03:44 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | even the words | Apr 29 03:44 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | imply the women are owned | Apr 29 03:44 |
| DaemonFC | And use that money to.....hire a $500 million dollar a year CEO. | Apr 29 03:44 |
| DaemonFC | :) | Apr 29 03:44 |
| techrights-sec3 | gm | Apr 29 03:44 |
| techrights-sec3 | ok | Apr 29 03:44 |

| DaemonFC | My doctor is a Jewish woman. I try to find one that doesn't wear a turban and have the bedside manner of a tarantula. | Apr 29 03:45 |
| DaemonFC | That gets harder every year. | Apr 29 03:45 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | voting thurs | Apr 29 03:46 |
| DaemonFC | My psychiatrist is a white man, but they're almost gone. | Apr 29 03:46 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | friday we plan to visit 5 places we like | Apr 29 03:46 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | monday is bank holiday | Apr 29 03:46 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | no pool this week, so i can produce a lot till thurs | Apr 29 03:46 |
| DaemonFC | He's in his 70s. | Apr 29 03:46 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | will try to focus on quality | Apr 29 03:46 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | DaemonFC: i know what you mean | Apr 29 03:46 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | in the medical profession here many are muslim, BUT | Apr 29 03:46 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | they are some of the BETTER docs | Apr 29 03:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | many come from other countries | Apr 29 03:47 |
| DaemonFC | How'd you manage that? | Apr 29 03:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and they do diagnosis rather well | Apr 29 03:47 |
| DaemonFC | Ours are just like, unbelievably shitty. | Apr 29 03:47 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | same for nurses to some extent, and phaamacists of course | Apr 29 03:47 |
| DaemonFC | They don't know anything. They don't care about what's wrong with you. And they make offensive comments about you in their office right to your face, and nothing happens to them. | Apr 29 03:47 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz-pi2: The goal of our system lately seems to be to stick the minimum legal thing you can call a doctor in there. | Apr 29 03:48 |
| DaemonFC | And let them commit malpractice on every patient that comes in. | Apr 29 03:48 |
| techrights-sec3 | Wednesday is a holiday here | Apr 29 03:49 |
| techrights-sec3 | Further north in Norway an further south in Finland it is a big holiday, | Apr 29 03:49 |
| techrights-sec3 | not so much here as student traditions and labor protections are both | Apr 29 03:49 |
| techrights-sec3 | weak and generally despised around here. <shrugs> | Apr 29 03:49 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | yle is not cheering anymore | Apr 29 03:49 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | many articles are negative | Apr 29 03:49 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | about health, economy etc. | Apr 29 03:49 |
| DaemonFC | It's even worse in Indiana. | Apr 29 03:49 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and that's yle! | Apr 29 03:49 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i don't bring that up here anymore, as you already have the rss feed and are about 24 hours "ahead" | Apr 29 03:49 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i stay behind on purpose, "dupe control" | Apr 29 03:49 |
| DaemonFC | One time I got dragged into an office and yelled at for missing appointments. I went, "I'm not missing appointments." | Apr 29 03:50 |
| DaemonFC | They go "You are Donald, right?" | Apr 29 03:50 |
| DaemonFC | I said, "No but I'm sure that Donald would be interested to know about the HIPAA violations going on here, like putting his medical chart up on your computer screen in front of me." | Apr 29 03:50 |
| techrights-sec3 | The economic situation is terrible no matter how they try to spin it. | Apr 29 03:50 |
| techrights-sec3 | Then there are two fronts of war atm | Apr 29 03:50 |
| techrights-sec3 | Yeah duplicates are a problem to manage. | Apr 29 03:50 |
| DaemonFC | The guy frantically closed that window. | Apr 29 03:50 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | what works for me is, | Apr 29 03:51 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | stay behind, let rianne march ahead | Apr 29 03:51 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | then pick up what's left a day later, cluster if necessary | Apr 29 03:51 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | DaemonFC: weird | Apr 29 03:51 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | 66 pct | Apr 29 03:55 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | see "finland economy history sweden job" | Apr 29 03:55 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | from what i read from decent sources, historically, pre-nokia, many had to go to sweden for jobs | Apr 29 03:55 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and that sort of makes sense | Apr 29 03:55 |
| techrights-sec3 | depression then. That was one of several periods when people went to | Apr 29 03:56 |
| techrights-sec3 | Sweden for work. Now Sweden is hostile to such migration and accomodates | Apr 29 03:56 |
| techrights-sec3 | only moslems and war criminals, ideally according to their specs both. | Apr 29 03:56 |
| techrights-sec3 | In the 1990s there was a very large economic downturn, an acknowledged | Apr 29 03:56 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i c | Apr 29 03:57 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i was gonna say "but ZHC" | Apr 29 03:57 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | DaemonFC: i saw one at a market the other day | Apr 29 03:57 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | it's very weird | Apr 29 03:58 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | clothes, food... oh, what's that | Apr 29 03:58 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | wait, "PENIS pump"? | Apr 29 03:58 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | ok, whatever... | Apr 29 03:58 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | DaemonFC: when people are stressed it's harder for them to get it up | Apr 29 03:58 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | or to get it "hard" | Apr 29 03:58 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | so i guess this is a gfrowing issue | Apr 29 03:59 |

| DaemonFC | There was a time when she was far more reasonable than she is now. | Apr 29 04:04 |
| DaemonFC | I'd say that her mental health has been in reverse gear for at least 20 years. | Apr 29 04:05 |
| techrights-sec3 | It seems to match what is happening. It's also a lack of competency on | Apr 29 04:05 |
| techrights-sec3 | the part of the administration and a deck chair shuffle to attempt to | Apr 29 04:05 |
| techrights-sec3 | hide that they are intentionally understaffed by at least 30% so classes | Apr 29 04:05 |
| techrights-sec3 | are always canceled and rescheduled ad nauseum. It's theatre not education, | Apr 29 04:05 |
| techrights-sec3 | more akin to the LARPing going on in the "business" community. | Apr 29 04:05 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz-pi2: She'd have been better off with my dad than all this garbage that came after him. | Apr 29 04:05 |
| DaemonFC | She really knows how to outdo herself. I'm glad that stopped when it did (finding another one to marry and having it be worse than last time). | Apr 29 04:06 |
| DaemonFC | I've seen people that used cocaine that had better brains than the third husband did. | Apr 29 04:06 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz-pi2: Did I ever tell you about me filling up lawn bags full of powerball tickets he bought and then never checked and threw in a pile, to take down and scan at the gas station? | Apr 29 04:07 |
| DaemonFC | It happened twice that I went over there and filled a lawn bag with powerball tickets. | Apr 29 04:07 |
| DaemonFC | He bought hundreds of them and never won anything. | Apr 29 04:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | in 2012 i went to a job interview here | Apr 29 04:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | same department where i did my phd | Apr 29 04:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | there were two people: my former tutor and some business manager who knew nothing about the field | Apr 29 04:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | she didn't show understanding of it | Apr 29 04:07 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | sirius was already struggling, so i checked contingencies | Apr 29 04:08 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz-pi2: She was working overtime to pay all of their bills. | Apr 29 04:08 |
| DaemonFC | So he could play Powerball. | Apr 29 04:08 |
| DaemonFC | And if he had ever won, you know what he would have done. | Apr 29 04:08 |
| DaemonFC | Conceal it, put it all in his bank account, and file for divorce. | Apr 29 04:08 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | what is Powerball? | Apr 29 04:08 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | like bingo? | Apr 29 04:08 |
| DaemonFC | The lottery. | Apr 29 04:09 |
| DaemonFC | Each one of those tickets cost $12! | Apr 29 04:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | let's say she wins | Apr 29 04:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | then what? | Apr 29 04:09 |
| DaemonFC | She wasn't playing it. | Apr 29 04:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 70 year old | Apr 29 04:09 |
| DaemonFC | He was. | Apr 29 04:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | with complciated medical cond | Apr 29 04:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | so what? | Apr 29 04:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | oh, ok | Apr 29 04:09 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and he died young | Apr 29 04:09 |
| DaemonFC | No. | Apr 29 04:09 |
| DaemonFC | Dave is still alive. | Apr 29 04:10 |
| DaemonFC | He messaged her on Facebook a couple months ago. | Apr 29 04:10 |
| DaemonFC | He said "I found one of your old tax returns and there are some things we need to talk about." | Apr 29 04:10 |
| DaemonFC | They've been divorced for almost 10 years. | Apr 29 04:10 |
| DaemonFC | They didn't have kids together. | Apr 29 04:10 |
| DaemonFC | There's nothing to talk about. | Apr 29 04:10 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz-pi2: She says some days he would drink 2-3 gallons of milk. | Apr 29 04:11 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | lactose issues? | Apr 29 04:11 |
| DaemonFC | She said whatever amount she would buy, he'd drink, and then blame on my brother who doesn't even drink milk. | Apr 29 04:11 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i cannot drink that much | Apr 29 04:11 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i would have to go to the toilets | Apr 29 04:11 |
| DaemonFC | He was eating cake frosting. | Apr 29 04:11 |
| DaemonFC | By the jar with a spoon. | Apr 29 04:11 |
| DaemonFC | No cake, just the frosting. | Apr 29 04:11 |

| DaemonFC | He made it into his 60s though. | Apr 29 04:13 |
| DaemonFC | He's morbidly obese. | Apr 29 04:13 |
| DaemonFC | Like, they didn't need a fat suit for the new Dune movies. Dave would have made an excellent Baron Harkonnen. | Apr 29 04:13 |
| DaemonFC | They didn't even give him many lines. | Apr 29 04:13 |
| techrights-sec3 | Apr 29 04:15 | |
| techrights-sec3 | Almost everything has been made dependent on tourism, and that is not | Apr 29 04:15 |
| techrights-sec3 | in any way sustainable and contributes to the ongoing death of the downtown. | Apr 29 04:15 |
| techrights-sec3 | More places have closed each visit and there are only very rarely replacements. | Apr 29 04:15 |
| techrights-sec3 | The region is struggling because of this LARPing. It took over the city | Apr 29 04:15 |
| techrights-sec3 | some decades ago. Then to keep from going bankrupt they used a highly corrupt | Apr 29 04:15 |
| techrights-sec3 | local newspaper to engineer a merger with the well-off, well-managed, organized | Apr 29 04:15 |
| techrights-sec3 | rural municipality surrounding it. Within weeks of the merger, the | Apr 29 04:15 |
| techrights-sec3 | rural municipality was suffering economically and services started to | Apr 29 04:15 |
| techrights-sec3 | get slashed. Now there is basically nothing anywhere because of clowns. | Apr 29 04:15 |
| techrights-sec3 | The village nearby used to have a health service for pensioners, a dental clinic | Apr 29 04:15 |
| techrights-sec3 | with both dentists and hygienists, a library, and a good K-12 school, a | Apr 29 04:15 |
| techrights-sec3 | post office, a bank office, two grocery stores, and two barbers. I am probably | Apr 29 04:15 |
| techrights-sec3 | forgetting something. Now they have K-8 school, no high school, that has been | Apr 29 04:15 |
| techrights-sec3 | sold, allowed to cave in from neglect, demolished, and replaced with a daycare. | Apr 29 04:15 |
| techrights-sec3 | The library, dental clinic, bank, post, and barbers are all gone. | Apr 29 04:15 |
| techrights-sec3 | The church even meets only once a month on unpredictable Sundays nowadays. | Apr 29 04:15 |
| techrights-sec3 | One of the remaining libraries is in the downtown and there is no library | Apr 29 04:15 |
| techrights-sec3 | director there since decades now. There is someone using the budget | Apr 29 04:15 |
| techrights-sec3 | but they are the third in a series of city council representatives there | Apr 29 04:15 |
| techrights-sec3 | "to represent the city council's interest" within the library. The layer | Apr 29 04:15 |
| techrights-sec3 | of "managers" below are now also of the same fiber. And given the nature | Apr 29 04:15 |
| techrights-sec3 | of society now, people working there have turned against eachother and | Apr 29 04:16 |
| techrights-sec3 | even yell and scream at eachother during work instead of at these malicious | Apr 29 04:16 |
| techrights-sec3 | and fake replacements for libary leadership. | Apr 29 04:16 |
| DaemonFC | techrights-sec3: Sounds like Fort Wayne annexing the Village of Coventry for the white people with money to tax. 20 years later it was another ghetto with black people and gang violence. No taxes. | Apr 29 04:16 |
| DaemonFC | The movie theater turned into a dollar theater with a leaking roof. | Apr 29 04:16 |
| DaemonFC | Ever heard the expression "There goes the neighborhood!"? | Apr 29 04:17 |
| DaemonFC | That's what white people say when the first black people move onto the street. | Apr 29 04:17 |
| DaemonFC | 10-20 years later, everything is unmaintained, there's gunshots, the whole thing goes kaput. | Apr 29 04:17 |
| DaemonFC | The only thing black people want to do is blast loud stereos with the most offensive noise they can possibly create, chase pussy, sell drugs, and shoot at other black people. The women are okay, for the most part, because the women go to college and the men go to prison. | Apr 29 04:18 |
| techrights-sec3 | Oh, and they've been burning books | Apr 29 04:20 |
| techrights-sec3 | by the armload each week for about 10 years now. They have their eye on | Apr 29 04:20 |
| techrights-sec3 | culling the North Calotte's Lapponia collection there. And speaking of | Apr 29 04:20 |
| techrights-sec3 | collection management, they don't do that any more so technically, | Apr 29 04:20 |
| techrights-sec3 | if one follows UN definitions, there is no library any more. | Apr 29 04:20 |
| techrights-sec3 | So everyone can see through the BS of declaring it a "happy country" because | Apr 29 04:20 |
| techrights-sec3 | that is a relative measurement and the others have declined even more. | Apr 29 04:20 |
| techrights-sec3 | That is all qualitative, for the most part. The schools have plummeted in | Apr 29 04:20 |
| techrights-sec3 | quality in part because the parents are only ever nose down in their phones | Apr 29 04:20 |
| techrights-sec3 | and have abandoned upbringing of their own kids such that the creatures delivered | Apr 29 04:20 |
| techrights-sec3 | to school are almost feral and animal like, not counting the moslem "youth" | Apr 29 04:20 |
| techrights-sec3 | who learn at age 8 to ignore what women say or do, even teachers. As for | Apr 29 04:20 |
| techrights-sec3 | the teachers, they are burdened with irrelevant and time wasting tasks | Apr 29 04:20 |
| techrights-sec3 | such as playing Wilma instead of activities related to teaching. However | Apr 29 04:20 |
| techrights-sec3 | the raw material, the kids, which they have to start from have not been brought | Apr 29 04:20 |
| techrights-sec3 | up to speed by parents. Similar with dogs as people even walk their dogs | Apr 29 04:20 |
| techrights-sec3 | with nose down in the phone so that the dog does not get socialized to behave | Apr 29 04:21 |
| techrights-sec3 | non aggressively. | Apr 29 04:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | parents work 8-6 | Apr 29 04:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | no time to invest in the kids | Apr 29 04:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and both parents "need" to work now | Apr 29 04:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | for the same salary as 1990s | Apr 29 04:21 |
| techrights-sec3 | No, 8-6 would be a fixed schedule. They mostly work zero hour contracts | Apr 29 04:21 |
| techrights-sec3 | with random quantities of hours per week at random times, at some places | Apr 29 04:21 |
| techrights-sec3 | only scheduled a day or two in advance. | Apr 29 04:21 |
| techrights-sec3 | The pay is lower than the 1990s and then if you count inflation it is *much* | Apr 29 04:21 |
| techrights-sec3 | lower. | Apr 29 04:21 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | at least they are very happy, based on questionnaires as "science" | Apr 29 04:22 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | like "LF Research" [sic] | Apr 29 04:22 |
| techrights-sec3 | I'm surprised there are not more 'three parent' households since at least | Apr 29 04:29 |
| techrights-sec3 | three incomes are required to acquire and maintain a property, especially | Apr 29 04:29 |
| techrights-sec3 | a rental. | Apr 29 04:29 |
| techrights-sec3 | Very happy compared to other countries, as said. | Apr 29 04:29 |
| techrights-sec3 | There are violent riots continuously in Malmö for example. | Apr 29 04:29 |
| techrights-sec3 | Extra police are continously rotated in from DK and NO to try to stem the | Apr 29 04:29 |
| techrights-sec3 | tide, but no one is addressing the core problem because political discourse | Apr 29 04:29 |
| techrights-sec3 | there moved to Facebook years ago and the topic is censored and can not only | Apr 29 04:29 |
| techrights-sec3 | cause a permaban from Facebook (a social death sentence there) but bring | Apr 29 04:29 |
| techrights-sec3 | actual state prosecution resulting in both fines and jail time -- at the same | Apr 29 04:29 |
| techrights-sec3 | time -- for even circumnavigating the topic. That's Malmö. Gothenburg, | Apr 29 04:29 |
| techrights-sec3 | Stockholm, heck all the cities, even Alvesta, are similar in proportion to | Apr 29 04:29 |
| techrights-sec3 | their size. Alvesta, which started out as and still is a train crossing where | Apr 29 04:29 |
| techrights-sec3 | the N-S line crosses one of the E-W lines, has a howling mosque going at | Apr 29 04:29 |
| techrights-sec3 | well over 100 dB five times per day and capacity for 10,000 occupants but | Apr 29 04:29 |
| techrights-sec3 | no provision for parking. So the town, which you can walk across in 10 minutes | Apr 29 04:29 |
| techrights-sec3 | is completely overrun and it is common to see full niqabs and other symbols | Apr 29 04:29 |
| techrights-sec3 | of hate, violence, and extremism. Stabbings, shootings, explosions, are | Apr 29 04:29 |
| techrights-sec3 | commonplace. I have not heard reports about open carrying of rifles becoming | Apr 29 04:29 |
| techrights-sec3 | common there yet however. | Apr 29 04:29 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | sounds like southern shoreline towns or cities in .fr | Apr 29 04:30 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | re-reading now, don't mind my ctrl+g | Apr 29 04:30 |
| techrights-sec3 | Yes, France has, in absolute numbers, a more dire situation. | Apr 29 04:35 |
| techrights-sec3 | Germany is similar. 80% of students in many cities are 1) moslem | Apr 29 04:35 |
| techrights-sec3 | and 2) attacking non-moslem classmates, beating them into submission | Apr 29 04:35 |
| techrights-sec3 | and in some cases into conversion to islam. Also the same report showed | Apr 29 04:35 |
| techrights-sec3 | that 68% of all students state that the Koran is far more important than German law. | Apr 29 04:35 |
| techrights-sec3 | There are a bunch more figure along the same lines. A double digit perecentage | Apr 29 04:35 |
| techrights-sec3 | figure that violence is desirable if it is used to promote or 'defend' islam. | Apr 29 04:35 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | pop-wise, the % "officially" referring to demography/religion is limit3ed to regisrered residents | Apr 29 04:37 |
| techrights-sec3 | Yes, 'registered' However, each country has millions or more unregistered | Apr 29 04:37 |
| techrights-sec3 | It is not a parallel society is is /their/ society that they are carrying | Apr 29 04:37 |
| techrights-sec3 | over to their colonies and settlements. There is no magic dirt. | Apr 29 04:37 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | [04:17] <DaemonFC> 10-20 years later, everything is unmaintained, there's gunshots, the whole thing goes kaput. | Apr 29 04:39 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | each country has this issue | Apr 29 04:39 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | the variable is what the "undesirable" group is | Apr 29 04:40 |

| DaemonFC | schestowitz-pi2: After that mass shooting at the Batman movie, the theaters have really cracked down on backpacks and stuff. It has nothing to do with safety. It's a way to make sure you don't bring snacks and drinks in. | Apr 29 04:47 |
| DaemonFC | Stallman mentioned the TSA one time. He said that someone who wants to kill people on a plane is just as happy to kill people standing in line to go through security. | Apr 29 04:47 |

| DaemonFC | because" "TRANSPHOBIC!!!" | Apr 29 05:29 |
| DaemonFC | Extra quote. | Apr 29 05:29 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz-pi2: I ordered a couple of safety razors and 50 blades. | Apr 29 05:29 |
| DaemonFC | The cost of the Gillette Mach 3 has gone through the roof. | Apr 29 05:30 |
| DaemonFC | And I swear they don't shave like they did 20 years ago. | Apr 29 05:30 |
| DaemonFC | In the early 2000s I recall a blade lasting all month. Now you're lucky to get 14-15 days out of one. | Apr 29 05:30 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i bought some yesterday | Apr 29 05:30 |
| DaemonFC | They're making them out of thinner strips of metal or something so you have to buy twice as many. | Apr 29 05:30 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | we have about 80 razors now | Apr 29 05:30 |
| DaemonFC | Fuck this. | Apr 29 05:30 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | we go through 1-2 per month | Apr 29 05:31 |
| DaemonFC | So the cost has tripled since 2003. And I have to buy double the cartridges. | Apr 29 05:31 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | venus is 4 pounds for 4 units | Apr 29 05:31 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i got the pack for 1 | Apr 29 05:31 |
| DaemonFC | It's one of life's little aggravations. | Apr 29 05:31 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | so quarter price | Apr 29 05:31 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and bic 10 for 1 pouns | Apr 29 05:31 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | i got 60 decent gilette for 10 pounds | Apr 29 05:31 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | so not bad a bargain | Apr 29 05:32 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz-pi2: 100 for $8 or so. | Apr 29 05:32 |
| DaemonFC | Was what I've seen, that's the ballpark. | Apr 29 05:32 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | what type? | Apr 29 05:32 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | the very cheap ones last 0 times | Apr 29 05:32 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | you open them | Apr 29 05:32 |
| DaemonFC | You get 4 Mach 3 heads for $12 now at Walmart. | Apr 29 05:32 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | they already cut barely anything | Apr 29 05:32 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | you need a decent brand | Apr 29 05:32 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | "This item cannot be shipped to your selected delivery location. Please choose a different delivery location. " | Apr 29 05:34 |
| DaemonFC | There's a bundle that comes with a handle and 10 blades another 30 blades for like $15.97, then I got a second handle with 10 more blades using a 10% discount for the handle and that came in at like $8.97. | Apr 29 05:34 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | does not show price even | Apr 29 05:34 |
| DaemonFC | LOL, then I used another coupon for 30% off another 30 blades. | Apr 29 05:37 |
| DaemonFC | $6.92 for 30. | Apr 29 05:37 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz-pi2: 23 cents per blade. | Apr 29 05:39 |
| DaemonFC | Wonder how many shaves I'll get. | Apr 29 05:40 |
| DaemonFC | I suppose when one side is dull, use the other side. So really, whatever number of shaves you get from one end x2. | Apr 29 05:40 |
| DaemonFC | When it gets uncomfortable, flip it around. | Apr 29 05:40 |
| DaemonFC | Never used one of these systems before. | Apr 29 05:40 |
| DaemonFC | Mom says that that's what dad always used. | Apr 29 05:41 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz-pi2: 12 cartridges for $30 is the best you'll get on the Mach 3 heads. | Apr 29 05:41 |
| DaemonFC | That's a pretty shitty deal. | Apr 29 05:41 |
| DaemonFC | Hopefully this new system will be better and I don't go back to the Mach 3. | Apr 29 05:42 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | it is the same here | Apr 29 05:42 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | 2-3 pounds | Apr 29 05:42 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | the cheapest | Apr 29 05:42 |

| DaemonFC | You wash your car twice the thing's paid for itself. | Apr 29 05:47 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz-pi2: From the way the car wash has gotten, I wonder if my landlord bought that too. | Apr 29 05:48 |
| DaemonFC | He is the "Chief Risk Officer" at a major bank for the "Asian" investments. | Apr 29 05:48 |
| DaemonFC | You'd think that someone whose only job it is to look at investments and assess risk for a major bank would have smelled this place coming a mile away. | Apr 29 05:49 |
| DaemonFC | Makes me never wan to bank tehre. | Apr 29 05:49 |
| DaemonFC | *there | Apr 29 05:49 |
| DaemonFC | The truth is that banks don't really assess risk. They have to tell regulators that they are, but they don't really want to know. | Apr 29 05:50 |
| DaemonFC | They want to throw money at investments that "might" pay off using depositor money, and then when the bank fails they just grab Biden's inflation canon and put out the fire. | Apr 29 05:50 |
| DaemonFC | So he's there doing a role called. | Apr 29 05:53 |
| DaemonFC | "Just lie about the risk and if you're wrong, who cares? Nobody ever goes to prison, and if they do it's not really prison they just say it is." | Apr 29 05:53 |

| DaemonFC | Between 1999 and 2005, the price of a 24 pack of Coke went from $3.99 to $4.98. But that was because we didn't have Walmart in town in 1999 so you had to get it at Lance, which was locally owned. | Apr 29 07:04 |
| DaemonFC | So Walmart is massive and they're able to slow inflation down based on sheer buying power. | Apr 29 07:04 |
| DaemonFC | Hyperinflation didn't work out so well for Jimmy Carter. | Apr 29 07:05 |
| DaemonFC | But badly bungling the Iranian hostage crisis, and getting a strong primary challenge from Ted Kennedy didn't help. | Apr 29 07:06 |
| DaemonFC | There's definitely echos of 1980 going on here. | Apr 29 07:06 |
| DaemonFC | Biden has badly fucked the economy. People are livid about an inflationary recession. | Apr 29 07:06 |
| DaemonFC | He's handling a different crisis with Iran badly and looking like a wuss. | Apr 29 07:07 |
| DaemonFC | And Robert Kennedy Jr. | Apr 29 07:07 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz-pi2: People don't respond well to leaders that look weak. | Apr 29 07:08 |
| DaemonFC | If he doesn't start leveling Iran, he's fucked. Of course, if he does start leveling Iran, he's also fucked. | Apr 29 07:08 |
| DaemonFC | Because the Democrats have made crazy Imam huggers a part of the base, which wasn't really a problem for Carter, had he decided to act forcefully. | Apr 29 07:09 |
| DaemonFC | The Ayatollah absolutely loves people like Brandon Lobster and all of these agitators on the college campuses. | Apr 29 07:10 |
| DaemonFC | Oh sure, he'd kill them all if they were in Iran. | Apr 29 07:10 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | yes. | Apr 29 08:29 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | it's not the end of the world | Apr 29 08:30 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | DaemonFC: good idea | Apr 29 08:30 |
| DaemonFC | The car soap doesn't really cost much of anything. It's night time and so it just sits there without the sun beating down and drying it out. | Apr 29 08:30 |
| DaemonFC | Then it storms all over the car and washes the soap off with the dirt and stuff it lifted off the paint. | Apr 29 08:31 |
| DaemonFC | I used to wash the Taurus like this every time there was a good storm coming. | Apr 29 08:31 |
| DaemonFC | They didn't have those battery powered sprayers back then. | Apr 29 08:32 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | detailed: when talking i make notes of what to add to TM in batch, i post and edit links, sometimes i do add a batch to TM | Apr 29 08:32 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | it's possible to get something wrong, do I think twice over any step | Apr 29 08:32 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | so at the end it works out ok | Apr 29 08:32 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but i stopped worrying too much or triple-checking | Apr 29 08:32 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | it's the same when i talk to rianne while curating | Apr 29 08:32 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | her 'office' is next door | Apr 29 08:32 |
| DaemonFC | I'm sure my landlord back then wouldn't have cared if I was washing my car. | Apr 29 08:32 |
| DaemonFC | I was the only one in town he knew would pay him. | Apr 29 08:32 |
| DaemonFC | Every once in a while I'd go to the garage and grab the garden hose and do it that way. | Apr 29 08:33 |
| DaemonFC | He had me doing the lawn stuff. | Apr 29 08:33 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | DaemonFC: gulagboy mails security@ company | Apr 29 08:33 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | hi,m | Apr 29 08:33 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | my name is matt | Apr 29 08:33 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | see my MSFT portfolio | Apr 29 08:33 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | hire me | Apr 29 08:33 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | PLEASE! | Apr 29 08:33 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | you have some job ad onloine | Apr 29 08:33 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | dated 2021 | Apr 29 08:33 |
| DaemonFC | He actually cared about his properties so he had be washing the siding off with this sprayer thing that attached to the hose. | Apr 29 08:34 |
| DaemonFC | So I could use that as a foaming pot too. | Apr 29 08:34 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz-pi2: That's probably the one thing I hate about not "owning" a home. | Apr 29 08:34 |
| DaemonFC | Just wash the car in the driveway. | Apr 29 08:34 |
| DaemonFC | But I figured out how to make it work here. | Apr 29 08:35 |
| DaemonFC | You go to the car washes in town you may as well just take a cheese grater to your paint. | Apr 29 08:35 |
| DaemonFC | I know it's an old car but there's no reason why it should look worse and worse and worse faster than it needs to. | Apr 29 08:35 |
| DaemonFC | It's not just about appearances. It's about slowing down rust. | Apr 29 08:36 |
| DaemonFC | Rust is car cancer. | Apr 29 08:36 |
| DaemonFC | It's unavoidable where I am but you can keep it at bay a while. | Apr 29 08:37 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | speaking of rust | Apr 29 08:37 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | my mom just told me her new washing machine is rusying | Apr 29 08:37 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | we talked about quakility of produycts going down | Apr 29 08:37 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | the door of the washing machine is rusting | Apr 29 08:37 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | this didn't happen decades ago | Apr 29 08:37 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah, when I pulled the drum out of that old one I was getting rid of, it was very rusted. | Apr 29 08:37 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | she inquired about replacing it | Apr 29 08:37 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but likely cheaper to buy a new machine | Apr 29 08:37 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | we talked about electric kettle | Apr 29 08:37 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | she offered to give us hers | Apr 29 08:37 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | that my sister bought her | Apr 29 08:37 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah, don't even try to service a newer washing machine. | Apr 29 08:37 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | but i said our hob (stove, us) is ok | Apr 29 08:38 |
| DaemonFC | Something else will just go as soon as you do. | Apr 29 08:38 |
| DaemonFC | They have it set up so that you fix one thing and something else breaks. | Apr 29 08:38 |
| DaemonFC | And eventually you say.... | Apr 29 08:38 |
| DaemonFC | "It's costing me twice what buying a new one every 5 years would to fix this one!" | Apr 29 08:38 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | point is, she can see quality of prodycts going down the drain | Apr 29 08:39 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | literally | Apr 29 08:39 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | for washing machines | Apr 29 08:39 |
| DaemonFC | Yes. | Apr 29 08:39 |
| DaemonFC | It's like these new cars. | Apr 29 08:39 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and it seems like society in general | Apr 29 08:39 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | products getting worse | Apr 29 08:39 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | people getting more hateful | Apr 29 08:39 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and worse in intelligence | Apr 29 08:39 |
| DaemonFC | You give the exterior of a new car 3-4 years... | Apr 29 08:39 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | like GenZ | Apr 29 08:39 |
| DaemonFC | It looks older than my car. | Apr 29 08:39 |
| DaemonFC | Which is almost 18 years old. | Apr 29 08:39 |
| DaemonFC | So why? | Apr 29 08:39 |
| DaemonFC | They don't do a good job painting them anymore. | Apr 29 08:39 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | materials | Apr 29 08:39 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | cheaper materials | Apr 29 08:40 |
| DaemonFC | They make them look good and then the pain flicks off by itself, right down to the metal. | Apr 29 08:40 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | like plastics with coating that looks matalic | Apr 29 08:40 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | the innovation is, | Apr 29 08:40 |
| DaemonFC | You don't even know what's causing it. | Apr 29 08:40 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | makeking things cheaper | Apr 29 08:40 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | while looking the same | Apr 29 08:40 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | same in foods | Apr 29 08:40 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | making the foodc cheaper to make | Apr 29 08:40 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | and smaller f | Apr 29 08:40 |
| schestowitz-pi2 | for same price as before | Apr 29 08:40 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz-pi2: Hector down at the car repair place said "Your car is always so clean." | Apr 29 08:41 |
| DaemonFC | I said, "Yeah, I'm out there washing it 2-3 times a week." | Apr 29 08:41 |
| DaemonFC | "As soon as a bird shits on it, I'm out there spraying it off." | Apr 29 08:41 |
| DaemonFC | I've seen what bird shit does and how fast it does it. | Apr 29 08:41 |
| DaemonFC | You can go from a bird shitting on your car, to the spot bubbling up, and underneath it the paint is gone and you have a rust bubble in about 4-5 months. | Apr 29 08:42 |
| DaemonFC | That's extreme. That's what happens if you never clean the car. | Apr 29 08:42 |
| DaemonFC | You're always going to lose to rust, but if you stay on top of the car washes and take a paint touch up pen to scratches and dents, and you can hold it off. Don't be like one of these people that has rust eating every body panel and the car is only 6-7 years old. | Apr 29 08:43 |

| DaemonFC | Bread machines got popular in the 90s. | Apr 29 08:55 |
| DaemonFC | Back then they just had a box with all the stuff to make various types and you poured it in according to the directions. Now you have to make it from scratch. | Apr 29 08:55 |
| DaemonFC | But I got better at it. I learned all the ways to do it better by screwing up plenty of loaves along the way. | Apr 29 08:56 |
| DaemonFC | I noticed that it's really easy to mess up a loaf of bread, even in a bread machine. | Apr 29 08:56 |

| DaemonFC | It's fine for baking cookies. | Apr 29 08:57 |
| DaemonFC | The protein for bread just isn't there. You end up with bread that won't rise properly and if you're not careful you'll be chiseling it out of the bread pan. | Apr 29 08:57 |

| schestowitz-pi2 | Judging by media coverage, we shall see waning press coverage about this subject, i.e. <a href="https://techrights.org/n/2023/12/29/Web3_Blockchain_Metaverse_Hey_Hi_AI_and_Vision_Pro_What_Ever_Ha.shtml">the same as saw with Web3, Blockchain, Metaverse, and Vision Pro</a>.
