Sat 21:03:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ She complained they clog fast I said that's because she's getting a lot of limescale in her water and she needs to use a filter that's not prone to clogging.

Sun 00:31:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Perfect condition.
Sun 00:31:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Says Made in USA.
Sun 00:31:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So you know it's old and it was built properly.
Sun 00:31:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Not made out of Chinesium and sold at Walmart.
Sun 00:32:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Might have been purchased at Walmart back when most of the stuff said Made in USA on it.
Sun 00:32:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They told their suppliers to go to third world hellholes to make stuff cheaper as a part of a campaign of aggressive price-cutting in the mid to late 90s and 2000s.
Sun 00:32:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then once they drove everyone else under, they raised prices massively but did not improve the quality of goods.
Sun 00:32:56 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and most of the buyers didn't mind
Sun 00:33:53 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ there are lots of things that don't seem to be available in good quality at all anymore

Sun 00:34:17 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ people just don't care anymore
Sun 00:35:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That stereo (technically a clock radio, but it sounds better than most stereos) is in the dining room playing Beethoven right now. Honestly it sounds like I'm on hold with the people at the doctor's office only the guy playing the piano is right there in the room.
Sun 00:35:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I tested a lot of things on it and it handled them all well.
Sun 00:35:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I'm surprised this company went out of business, although I suppose not really surprised.
Sun 00:36:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR: CNN reports that iPhones caused sterility.
Sun 00:36:11 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ good
Sun 00:36:26 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ sterility is what this species needs, especially the crApple cultists
Sun 00:36:27 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They cited a study that said the first places in America that got the iPhone saw their birth rate fall faster and ahead of other places.
Sun 00:36:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They said that people are pecking away at their phones instead of interacting with real people.
Sun 00:36:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And the missed interactions include sex.
Sun 00:37:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ This sort of thing just reeks of mental illness to me.

Sun 00:37:40 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ dunno, sex has the disadvantage of having to interact with another human

Sun 00:45:21 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Sun 00:46:30 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ some of mine does, because i don't really feel like taking up 3 laptops worth of space in my backpack because i _might_ want to listen to audio and i hate wired earbuds because they turn every bit of touch and friction on the wires into super loud noise in my ears
Sun 00:46:56 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ also because ANC doesn't seem to work without one
Sun 00:47:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Active N****r Canceling.
Sun 00:47:37 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and i live in a country where many people consider it their life's goal to bother as many people as much as possible, and some of the means to accomplish this are noisy
Sun 00:47:49 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ no, they don't need to be black to be noisy barbarians
Sun 00:47:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That's what I started calling that dwelling in apartments in Chicago.
Sun 00:48:19 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ pretty sure the troglodytes who live above me and use some sort of power tool to demolish part of the alleged building every fucking week are not black.
Sun 00:48:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Black men don't tend to be that picky.
Sun 00:48:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They smoke weed and cigars that are flavored to taste like urinal cake.

Sun 03:13:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR: You run into a lot of the black men that will fuck other men but not talk about it ever.
Sun 03:14:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That's more of a "will stick it in anything" thing than bisexual.
Sun 03:15:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They look down on black men that become police officers because they consider it betrayal without the next thought "Have I tried following the law and getting a job?"
Sun 03:15:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And they call any black man that becomes an educated professional or climbs into the middle class an "oreo".
Sun 03:15:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "black on the outside, white on the inside"
Sun 03:16:27 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ When you live in a culture that portrays following the law, dressing appropriately, and bettering yourself as negative things, you end up with the problems they're having.
Sun 03:17:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Illiteracy, recidivism, chronic high unemployment, low status, low educational attainment, drug use, satisfying base desires like always looking for something to fuck.
Sun 03:17:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ These are considered "virtues".
Sun 03:18:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And you go to most other Western countries or even majority black countries, and people aren't behaving this way, outside of a couple failed states.
Sun 03:18:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If 100% of the population of the US was black, you'd have a gigantic Haiti, because with this culture, you cannot achieve anything.
Sun 03:18:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Nothing will ever grow except bad things.
Sun 03:19:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I don't think it's a "universal" problem because there's many examples of fine black men you can point to, but there's also a lot of this "culture" where negatives are virtuous.
Sun 03:20:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR: I've lived in a lot of areas.
Sun 03:21:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Majority white, majority black, majority Hispanic, majority Asian, and now even majority Middle Eastern (Jews and Muslims).
Sun 03:21:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And out of all of this the only place where I had to be afraid to leave my house, where me and John both got mugged at gunpoint in the only year we lived there, it was majority black.
Sun 03:21:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And it fits all the stereotypes of the "black ghetto" when you go to those places in Chicago.
Sun 03:22:05 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Wig shops and fried chicken restaurants.
Sun 03:23:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And it's not even cheap to live in that place where crime is out of control and everything is filthy.
Sun 03:23:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's $1,667 to rent a place there and about $90 more than that here.
Sun 03:23:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If it was still $500 a month I'd say if you're broke, you take your chances.
Sun 03:24:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But it's not even cheap.

Sun 18:12:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ On the right, you tend to have religious nuts, people who want to ban guns, extreme tax cutting, and the total end of the welfare state.
Sun 18:12:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Err, people that want to repeal all gun control is what I meant.
Sun 18:13:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Was saving that for the left.
Sun 18:13:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ On the left, you have people who are content to let people do almost whatever they want no matter how bizarre and twisted it is. They want to ban all guns everywhere. They create a complete mess financially trying to have the government pay for everything.
Sun 18:13:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So you end up with different kinds of bad at the "edges" of both sides.
Sun 18:14:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I'm all for gun control measures that work, but the sad thing is that at some point you don't solve any crimes, you just create criminals on paper.

Sun 18:15:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So the bizarre thing about gun control is it causes "gun crime" to rise.
Sun 18:15:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Not because more bad things are happening, but because there's more "technical" lawbreaking.
Sun 18:15:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's not people getting shot. It's not carrying it in the regulated box or something.
Sun 18:16:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And they're doing this on purpose.
Sun 18:16:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They know what they're doing.
Sun 18:16:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They want to make it impossible to know if you're following the laws so you won't even try to legally carry a gun.

Sun 18:17:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then they go "We need to save water, so now Ryan's toilet won't work and he's standing there with an auger every day."

Sun 18:22:27 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But he's "doing the needful" as the Indians are fond of saying.
Sun 18:23:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2]: I love how Illinois responded to the feds cutting off our grant money.
Sun 18:23:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Lawsuits, but also raising new taxes that don't really fall on citizens.
Sun 18:23:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Like that Social Media Tax.
Sun 18:23:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The ones where the big tech companies are going to pay $200 million in the new budget and can't pass it along to "users".
Sun 18:24:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I don't see why we should sit here and let the state's finances collapse because of the "big beautiful bill" while the tech companies reaped a lot of federal tax cuts.
Sun 18:24:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It has an exemption for the first 100,000 users.
Sun 18:25:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So technically as long as you cap your IRC server or Mastodon instance or whatever to 100,000 users, you owe no tax.
Sun 18:25:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The law is vague as to what a user is.

Mon 00:51:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Under the deal with Trump, Iran promises to do the same things they already agreed to under the Obama Agreement, except;
Mon 00:51:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ (1) Trump caused a war that cost the US taxpayers $550 billion.
Mon 00:51:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ (2) Trump caused gas prices to soar to between $4-8 a gallon depending on where you are in the country. They went from $2.88 in my area to $5.29 at their peak.
Mon 00:51:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ (3) Trump completely drained our strategic stockpile of oil, it's down to nothing.
Mon 00:51:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He knew he was going to do the war for 15 months and did not add one drop of oil, and it started out at 44% full.
Mon 00:51:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ (When we drew it down, it was mostly sold to Europe and China.)
Mon 00:51:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ (4) The high Trump oil prices fueled Russia's war coffers and caused many Ukrainian deaths. Essentially supporting his pal and thug friend, Vladimir Putin. Trump's other best friend, Jeff Epstein, isn't around anymore so he's been more active with Putin these days.
Mon 00:52:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ (5) Trump agreed to give them $50 billion including $25 billion of it before we have any actual final deal, when Obama didn't really give them much of anything. (A billion dollars that had been in dispute since the 70s over a payment for munitions Iran made before the revolution and never received.)
Mon 00:52:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Trump gives them $50 billion in new cash, essentially paying them US tax money to stop the war he caused.
Mon 00:52:03 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ (6) Trump also agreed that the United States will pay Iran to rebuild everything the US destroyed during the war.
Mon 00:52:05 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ (7) The Iranians took to their State Media and went to CNN and all the major world news outlets to celebrate their total victory over the United States and how they rolled Trump, and how the United States got nothing.
Mon 00:52:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Why wouldn't they? Trump even tossed in removing all United States sanctions on Iranian oil.
Mon 00:52:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And they get to keep their Uranium.
