Sat 18:03:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2]: I liked that episode of Malcolm in the Middle where it shows the backstory of Hal and Lois having kids.
Sat 18:03:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It started with a shotgun wedding because Lois was already pregnant with Francis.
Sat 18:04:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then it went from "These people are yuppies and they have lots of disposable income. Hal is clearly moving up the corporate ladder." to each time they have a kid it gets worse.
Sat 18:05:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ By the time they have Francis and Reese and Lois is about to give birth to Malcolm, they already had to trade in their nice apartment and night clubs and trendy restaurants and stuff to "Hal pulls up to his tiny home that hasn't been remodeled in 30 years in his luxury car, which has rusted and has become an eyesore.
Sat 18:06:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Hal got a demotion at work because he went to his boss and explained that he's a parent now and he needs more time off, so his boss smiles and says "Sure Hal, we understand." and then it flashes forward to Hal's office being moved to a supply room next to the toilets while his boss promotes the guy that Hal trained.
Sat 18:07:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Never once does it occur to them that they went from being yuppies with a nice apartment, a luxury car, and no debt, to "Crappy house, can only afford groceries on double coupon day, and the credit card companies calling them." because they won't stop having kids.
Sat 18:08:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Presumably Hal's Jaguar went from being an eyesore to breaking down offscreen, leading him to get a used minivan that overheats if you don't leave the heat on.

Sat 18:28:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Yeah, Francis would have been about my age. He was their oldest.
Sat 18:28:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They sent him off to military school because he was the worst delinquent out of the bunch, even worse than Reese.
Sat 18:29:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Reese was just a bully, but the problem was sort of self-limiting because there was no brain.
Sat 18:29:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Francis was not as smart as Malcolm, but he was clearly intelligent. Not intelligent enough to avoid getting caught, but intelligent enough to explain his way out and return to baseline.
Sat 18:30:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Malcolm is their best one. Brilliant and not really a troublemaker.
Sat 18:30:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Dewey is manipulative, but too immature for it to hold together very long, but long enough to cause Hal and Lois serious problems.
Sat 18:33:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Dealing with all four of them at once proved disastrous, and they're already stretched down to the last penny to keep Francis contained.
Sat 18:34:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The episode where they're panicking that Lois missed her period and Hal had to run to a store to get a pregnancy test was brilliant. I was explaining it to my partner. He's not from this country.

Sat 18:37:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Against a backdrop of "Don't think about it, just produce children for Capitalism and The State."
Sat 18:38:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The episode resolves with "Lois isn't pregnant and they escaped financial ruin, but the relief of the marital tension leaves Hal and Lois running towards the bedroom again, having learned absolutely nothing even in the wake of a possible crisis."

Sun 00:11:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ In Malcolm in the Middle.
Sun 00:12:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That's 16 years if the boss doesn't die, and a fine of up to $100,000. If the boss dies, it's a life sentence with possibility of parole after 20 years, plus the 16 years, making Hal potentially parole-eligible after 28 years.

Sun 00:14:03 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and then Malcolm joins NEG ThunderCrash
Sun 00:14:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Two potential life sentences and 25 years.
Sun 00:15:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Meaning he'd be parole-eligible in about 60 years, with good behavior.
Sun 00:15:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So with good time, he might be out in 88 years. If the boss dies during the swarm of bees after getting his luxury car sawed in half.
Sun 00:18:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR: Where the show stops him he's at four counts of Reckless Endangerment from Craig and the three children in the backyard when he tests it, a DCFS investigation, and the federal charge of possession of a weapon of mass destruction and the biological weapons anti-terrorism act.

Sun 04:42:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2]: Millionaires don't want to throw away $1200 on a phone when a $599 one works just fine and has all the same stuff.
Sun 04:43:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They're certainly not going to do it every year.
Sun 04:43:08 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] "Millionaires" is just a label
Sun 04:43:13 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] like people who borrow money
Sun 04:43:18 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] then become "Millionaires"
Sun 04:43:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Dave Ramsey calls them Everyday Millionaires.
Sun 04:43:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The ones that really have money.
Sun 04:43:25 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] with money they don't have
Sun 04:43:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And they don't get that way by being stupid.
Sun 04:43:42 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] real millionaires dress simple
Sun 04:43:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And going I want a new $1200 phone every single year.
Sun 04:43:48 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] don't drive fancy cars
Sun 04:43:52 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] and maybe don't use mobile
Sun 04:43:56 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] they don't "signal" anything
Sun 04:44:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Most do, but every actual millionaire I knew used a lower end phone.
Sun 04:44:12 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ I was forced to use Apple products for a short period of time (both phone and desktop) and I swore Id never use them again, restrictive, degenative performance over a short period of time and hideously expensive.
Sun 04:44:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And kept it around until it was either falling apart or the apps stopped working.
Sun 04:44:48 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] Goblin: mobile is always bad
Sun 04:44:50 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] all platforms
Sun 04:44:55 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] you cannot get much done
Sun 04:45:01 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] you get the illusion of it
Sun 04:45:03 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] many clicks
Sun 04:45:06 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] but little gets done
Sun 04:45:48 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ Ive now got a cheap android mainly for calls but if I need to dip into a little IRC or social media, it suffices at a push
Sun 04:46:14 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] typing into mobile is slow
Sun 04:46:18 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] there is no solution to that
Sun 04:46:22 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] not even voice
Sun 04:46:24 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ yep I'll attest to that
Sun 04:46:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2]: When you ask the state for food stamps, they're still using the same web application they did 10 years ago.
Sun 04:46:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It was not meant for a phone.
Sun 04:47:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ When you apply for a Firearm Owner ID Card, the State Police say don't do it on a phone or it could cause your application to be denied.
Sun 04:47:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They tie a Constitutional Right to a card, that needs renewed, then say you might get denied for using a mobile browser.
Sun 04:47:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They do this shit because, even though they call you a customer, the State is a monopoly.
Sun 04:48:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There's not another state that you can do business with instead if you live here.
Sun 04:48:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So they don't care how bad their websites are.
Sun 04:48:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Or how gross their public offices are. The ones that are gross and in bad repair deal with people who are asking for welfare or unemployment checks. And the absolute worst ones are dealing with prisoners or probationers.
Sun 04:49:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They literally put that office there in the 1960s or 1970s and have not updated it since then.
Sun 04:50:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's a waste of money. They're dealing with poor people, or people who are being punished.
Sun 04:50:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Why spend money?
Sun 04:50:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ About the only things the state spends pretty freely on are things that hurt people.
Sun 04:50:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Like the police and National Guard.
Sun 04:51:20 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] re ". And the absolute worst ones are dealing with prisoners or probationers."
Sun 04:51:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Trump sees the National Guard the same way the people who caused the Kent State Massacre did.
Sun 04:51:30 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] i spoke to my dad about it days ago
Sun 04:51:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He sees them that way as a feature, not a bug.
Sun 04:51:39 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] they don't even solve death threats
Sun 04:51:45 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] they know those are death threats
Sun 04:51:52 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] he said, society has changed
Sun 04:51:56 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] there are too many people
Sun 04:52:00 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] and police is understaff
Sun 04:52:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The military should _never_ be in command of civilians, ever.
Sun 04:52:02 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] *ed
Sun 04:52:08 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] or overworked
Sun 04:52:10 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] same thing
Sun 04:52:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ No military trial for civilians, ever.
Sun 04:52:16 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] more people -> more crime
Sun 04:52:26 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] not just moore crimes to look into
Sun 04:52:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Not unless all Hell has broken loose and the State cannot maintain order with civilian law enforcement.
Sun 04:52:30 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] so it no longer scales
Sun 04:52:42 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] humans are in each other's face
Sun 04:53:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ At Kent State, the state didn't even try to restore order with civilian police.
Sun 04:53:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They sent in soldiers, people died.
Sun 04:53:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That was the whole point.
Sun 04:53:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That's what Trump wants.
Sun 04:53:28 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] but that was ages ago
Sun 04:53:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Trump is from that era.
Sun 05:05:13 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] he is a dinobaby
Sun 05:06:41 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ my tarot cards say he will be out of office by end of August......keep in mind my cards also predicted Englands loss and Argentina scoring 2 goals.

Sun 05:57:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ :P
Sun 05:58:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ When you're so old that it becomes a source of dark comedy that the State uses the public education system to pitch pro-police propaganda at impressionable young children.
Sun 05:59:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If they had to tell you the truth, the cop would walk in there and the teacher would say "Maybe someday, a guy in a uniform like this one will play sick head games with you in order to invent a crime that did not happen.
Sun 06:00:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They would also have to go over phrases to remember.
Sun 06:00:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "You're not in any trouble." You're in trouble.
Sun 06:00:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "You're not under arrest." But there's a good chance you're about to be.
Sun 06:00:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "We just have some questions for you." Don't say anything to them. Ever.
Sun 06:01:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If a cop says anything at all to you, there's a reason for that.
Sun 06:01:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Where are you heading?" I'm not answering any questions, I want my attorney.
Sun 06:01:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Where are you coming from?" ^
Sun 06:02:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "I smell alcohol. Have you been drinking tonight?" ^^
Sun 06:03:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Can you open the door?" Do you have a warrant signed by a judge describing the person or thing to be searched and/or seized?
Sun 06:03:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Can I come in?" ^
Sun 06:04:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Do you know how fast you were going?" (Stay silent. Let him say the next thing. Don't say how fast you were going.)
Sun 06:04:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Do you know why I pulled you over?" No. Why did you pull me over?
Sun 06:05:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Do you mind doing a field sobriety test?" I will not be doing any field sobriety tests, as they are not required under any law or Informed Consent. I will offer you a breathalyzer or blood test in compliance with Informed Consent.
Sun 06:06:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Basically when schools have the cops come in, it's the state grooming your children.
Sun 06:06:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's another excellent reason to put your kids in a private school where the state doesn't get to do that.
Sun 06:07:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ In the US system, Detectives and uniformed officers do not operate as fact-finders. They develop a narrative then send in a Closer.
Sun 06:09:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The Supreme Court has ruled that the police cannot extend a traffic stop longer than necessary to take care of the reason why they pulled you over.
Sun 06:09:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So they start asking questions that have *something* to do with driving, but they're setting up a timeline to look for inconsistencies and things to justify keeping you there longer and investigating other things.
Sun 06:11:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If you agree to do a field sobriety test, which you are not under any legal obligation to perform, they cop can used subjective interpretations to gather evidence if a DUI, and charge you with one, even if you have not been drinking and would have blown a 0.00 on the breathalyzer.
Sun 06:12:29 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ :) - I like Officer Friendly although Ive been out since 2014...so just friendly.....my nickname at work is Timmy Two Fans, on account of me having two fans on my desk on the go even in winter.
Sun 06:13:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I realize the UK is different. The police can probably do more things to you there.
Sun 06:13:13 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They like to take advantage of mass ignorance and mass compliance here.
Sun 06:13:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ To get people to agree to things the Constitution says they can't do.
Sun 06:13:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The only way to survive the Reid Technique is to never let them get started with it.
Sun 06:13:56 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ I think were it differs and this is my view only......the UK police are far more accountable than the US
Sun 06:14:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ How accountable they are here varies greatly by State.
Sun 06:14:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ For example, in New Mexico, the police do not have qualified immunity.
Sun 06:14:44 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ yes thats what I'm led to believe (but only from the Youtube videos I've seen)
Sun 06:14:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If they violate your rights, you can sue that officer directly and potentially end up being paid directly out of his assets.
Sun 06:15:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The only time I've ever gone to the police about something myself is to get out ahead of an accusation.
Sun 06:15:52 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ One thing which I never understand is when people ask "are you a cop" in the US.....even I know that a US cop does not need to admit to being one in the course of an investigation.
Sun 06:15:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Like, "Why would a guilty person come to us before the alleged victim."
Sun 06:16:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Like, one time, someone stole a woman's credit card and went shopping on Walmart with it and I had a bunch of things come to my house.
Sun 06:16:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ She called me directly and asked who I was and why I had her credit card.
Sun 06:16:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I went straight to the police about that myself.
Sun 06:16:50 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ Thats the best course of action
Sun 06:17:10 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ I think you did the right thing....even if that happened in the UK
Sun 06:17:44 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ US or UK that was a good decision.
Sun 06:20:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The cops took the report but I never heard about it again.
Sun 06:20:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I called Walmart's loss prevention and they said they didn't want any of it back.
Sun 06:20:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I took down the name of the person in LP that I talked to.
Sun 06:21:00 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ always best to do that no matter US or UK
Sun 06:21:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I talked to the police once about an accusation against me.
Sun 06:22:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ An ex said that I was stealing his SSDI check out of the mail. I told the cop, "He doesn't get any SSDI checks in the mail. He gets them deposited to his Chase bank account. There's nothing in the mail I could possibly steal. I suggest that you call Social Security's Office of the Inspector General."
Sun 06:23:41 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ I do wonder (and this is the suspicious mind in me) whether this could have been a cause of fraud by the owner of the card......order goods on the card, send them to another address, contact that address and hope the person panicks and either gives them the goods, pays them money for them....in the meantime they have already reported the fraud in the knowledge that below a certain value the crime will not be fully invesigated and just written off..
Sun 06:26:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's possible. I told her that I was going to contact the police.
Sun 06:26:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ She did not call back.
Sun 06:27:10 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ or they could be using you as an alibi for a bigger fraud..."look here is another fraudulent order on my card" distracting from the big fraud they were doing..
Sun 06:27:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ When someone is about to start throwing accusations around it's best to just go to the police yourself and take a calculated risk that the narrative reads that you were cooperative and came to them first.
Sun 06:27:48 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ yeo
Sun 06:27:49 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ yep
Sun 06:29:11 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ my sgt gave me three pieces advice when I first started.....
Sun 06:29:37 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ 1. The bigger destroyer of a police officers career is ego.
Sun 06:30:10 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ 2. Always speak to people politely as if they were a member of the press because one day they will be.
Sun 06:30:24 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ 3. Beware the anger of a gentle man.
Sun 06:31:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Getting visibly angry at a police officer never helps, even if they are the problem.
Sun 06:32:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I had one come out and (without witnessing a car accident) write me a ticket under the wrong part of the Vehicle Code.
Sun 06:32:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I had fun with that later.
Sun 06:32:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I didn't tell him at the time because, well, why ruin the surprise?
Sun 06:32:51 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ I think my sgts advice was in relation to the more dangerous person who is the gentle person who has become angry and they pose more of a threat than just an angry person.
Sun 06:33:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Well, Goblin, I had a fun time planning that defense.
Sun 06:33:29 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ :)
Sun 06:33:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If I had to use it, I was going to cross examine him.
Sun 06:34:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And I was going to read back his report and ask him if that was the report he wrote down and if that's how he alleged it happened.
Sun 06:34:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Because he cited me for illegal left turn, which has its own statute.
Sun 06:34:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But in his report he wrote a diagram and a narrative that I was making a right turn.
Sun 06:34:55 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ When I've got more time I've a funny story and sad story to tell about me assisting a neighbour in a boundary dispute in civil court....it didn't end well.
Sun 06:35:47 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ But your actions are not what Police expect....if more people challenged like you I think we would have a better, fairer system and that applies to both the UK and US.
Sun 06:37:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I don't respond like they expect on purpose.
Sun 06:38:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Goblin: I had a supervisor at work named Vince who used the Reid Technique on me.
Sun 06:38:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I wrote about it a bit.
Sun 06:38:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But I had a bunch of "speed hacks" to get incentive pay maxed out at that warehouse.
Sun 06:39:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ One of them was to gain speed before entering a picking aisle and not flip on drive by wire until I had a full "lock on" tone from the lift.
Sun 06:39:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That way the safety program couldn't slow me down because I was already on the wire by the time I flipped it on.
Sun 06:39:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And about ten feet into the picking aisle.
Sun 06:39:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ One night I didn't do this quite right and I hit a safety rail and dented it.
Sun 06:40:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I was like "Fuck." and I didn't think anyone saw me so I flipped drive-by-wire on and continued the pick as if nothing had happened.
Sun 06:40:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But I prepared for if Vince tracked me down and tried to blame me.
Sun 06:40:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Later on, he did, and he walked me down the aisle, showed me the dent.
Sun 06:40:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He said, "We know you did that.".
Sun 06:41:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I said, "Did you witness me hitting that thing?" No.
Sun 06:41:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Did someone else witness me hitting that thing?" No.
Sun 06:41:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "So why do you think it was me?"
Sun 06:41:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He points at the ceiling and he says "We have cameras." or something like that.
Sun 06:41:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And I said, "I don't see any cameras."
Sun 06:42:03 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He goes, "Well you wouldn't, because they're hidden."
Sun 06:42:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I said, "So you have a video then?" Yes.
Sun 06:42:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Great! Let's go watch it and you can show me if I hit that rail."
Sun 06:42:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He said, "I'm not going to show it to you. But I know you did that." and he walked off.
Sun 06:42:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I never got written up.
Sun 06:42:59 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ lol....so no camera then
Sun 06:43:05 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ No cameras.
Sun 06:43:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Invisible or otherwise.
Sun 06:43:23 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ most people would not have held their ground
Sun 06:43:27 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ good on you
Sun 06:43:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You can't do this with the police.
Sun 06:43:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You refuse to answer anything when it's the police.
Sun 06:44:13 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But Vince was just a middle manager complete with "Bill Lumbergh" suspenders and aviator glasses.
Sun 06:44:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Goblin: The Supreme Court ruled the police can lie.
Sun 06:44:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They would just say something like this.
Sun 06:45:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Well, there is a video and it's being processed by our forensics unit right now."
Sun 06:45:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "But I can tell you what it shows."
Sun 06:45:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So you'll end up getting roped further into a Reid interview where they try to project state omniscience using evidence that they're making up as they go along.
Sun 06:45:57 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ you see if the UK police did that it would be challenged in court.....we don't have to disclose evidence we have but we can't make stuff up.
Sun 06:45:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You don't leave that conversation with any actionable intelligence.
Sun 06:46:18 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ sorry not "we" - "they"
Sun 06:46:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Oh they'll say there's a video.
Sun 06:46:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They'll say it shows you hitting something and driving off.
Sun 06:46:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They'll say three people witnessed it and got your license plate. Which is also on the video,
Sun 06:46:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They want to rattle you.
Sun 06:47:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Goblin: The only law Illinois has is one that says the police can't lie to people under 18 during an interview.
Sun 06:48:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If you're 18+ they can still lie to you just like they always could.
Sun 06:48:50 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ oh right......i would expect in the uk a case to be ended if the office claimed evidence they didnt have.
Sun 06:49:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The only reason they passed that law was because the police tried to frame a 15 year old boy for robbing a Dollar General while he was playing a basketball game three counties away in front of hundreds of witnesses, on video.
Sun 06:49:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They even brought him McDonalds and said he could only eat if he confessed.
Sun 06:49:59 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ for me it would be the other way round....ill confess if I dont have to eat it
Sun 06:50:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ :D
Sun 06:50:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I'll confess, if they bring me a fried apple pie, some chicken nuggets, and that Mulan sauce from 1998.
Sun 06:50:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And an Arch Deluxe.
Sun 06:50:47 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ :) for me it would be the smarty mcflurry...
Sun 06:50:54 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ that was ok.
Sun 06:51:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I've never seen that one.
Sun 06:51:13 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ maybe its a UK thing
Sun 06:51:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There's copycat recipes for the Mulan sauce.
Sun 06:51:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They brought it back for a while because of Rick & Morty.
Sun 06:51:52 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ never had that...
Sun 06:52:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I make all my own chicken dipping sauces.
Sun 06:52:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Whenever I cook I do it from scratch, every single step.
Sun 06:52:14 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ Ive got issue 1 of the rick and morty comic
Sun 06:52:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ My partner brought some of my spaghetti and meatballs over to a 100 year old man the other day.
Sun 06:52:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The guy is having 2-3 days in a row sometimes where he doesn't eat much.
Sun 06:53:00 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ now spagetti and meatballs, ill confess for that
Sun 06:53:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He smelled the spaghetti and asked for some and he apparently tore into it.
Sun 06:53:15 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ aw that was nice of you
Sun 06:53:39 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ we did similar for our elderly neighbour....there needs to be more of that in this world.
Sun 06:54:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I'm glad he enjoyed it. I'm going to send some red beans and rice with sausage I made tonight.
Sun 06:54:10 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ the same neighbour who's dog we adopted when she died.
Sun 06:54:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Lots of creole seasoning, chipotle broth, Franks Red Hot.
Sun 06:54:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Apparently this guy likes spicy things.
Sun 06:54:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That spaghetti had a lot of stuff going on.
Sun 06:54:57 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ here spicy is referred to as f*ck off hot,
Sun 06:55:22 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ very spicy is anyway.
Sun 06:55:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I cook a lot of things that are popular in the south.
Sun 06:56:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ My grandmother brought that with her and I learned a lot of her recipes.
Sun 06:56:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Not all of them.
Sun 06:56:28 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ :) I wish I could cook, ive been banned from the kitchen
Sun 06:56:42 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ I wash up the wife cooks
Sun 06:56:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I'm going through a phase now where I'm making baked goods from the Great Depression.
Sun 06:56:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Albeit I cheat a bit.
Sun 06:57:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The cake will be to the recipe, but not necessarily the frosting.
Sun 06:57:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I was told tonight that I should start a small business making baked goods.
Sun 06:58:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The law does allow for that, but I have to register with the health department, take a short food safety class, and put some compliance labels on anything I sell.
Sun 06:58:06 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ American Carrot Cake....now thats the ultimate.....I've never had a UK carrot even half as nice as the one I had in the UK.
Sun 06:58:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Goblin: Don't make carrot cake.
Sun 06:58:21 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ *in the US
Sun 06:58:24 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Make a tomato soup cake.
Sun 06:58:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ With cream cheese frosting.
Sun 06:58:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You won't even know it's not a carrot cake.
Sun 06:58:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/7583/tomato-soup-cake-i/
Sun 06:59:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ https://sugarspunrun.com/cream-cheese-frosting/#wprm-recipe-container-12572
Sun 06:59:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That makes enough frosting for two cakes, easily.
Sun 06:59:44 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ for years the idea of carrot and cake did not appeal, then I tried it and found I loved it.........carrot cake is sort of a mataphore for life really
Sun 06:59:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Just freeze the other half in an airtight container.
Sun 07:00:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Today I made a chocolate mayonnaise cake with homemade german chocolate frosting.
Sun 07:00:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I always use Duke's mayonnaise whenever something calls for mayo.
Sun 07:01:24 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ lol....now that sounds horrific, but I bet its not. mayo and choc.....
Sun 07:02:27 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ however......I'll be cold in my grave before I'd ever try jellied eels (a UK thing)
Sun 07:02:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The frosting was interesting. I had to do a reduction boil on the stove with a whisk.
Sun 07:03:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/chocolate-mayonnaise-cake/
Sun 07:03:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Ignore the frosting in the recipe, just make the cake.
Sun 07:03:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/17765/german-chocolate-cake-frosting/
Sun 07:03:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There's the frosting you want.
Sun 07:03:29 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ I'll show that to the wife when she wakes up..
Sun 07:04:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The way I made it, it was very rich and moist cake.
Sun 07:05:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I used "heaping" Tablespoons of baking cocoa though.
Sun 07:05:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Not level.
Sun 07:05:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I figured what's the worst that could happen. More chocolate in a chocolate cake? Is that a problem? :)
Sun 07:06:01 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ the US have a way with cakes thats not often seen in the UK....we need more US cakery here. and no you cant have enough choc imo
Sun 07:06:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ How are cakes different there?
Sun 07:06:46 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ I do like my cake which is one of the reasons I can be described as "a man of generous proportions"
Sun 07:07:48 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ US cakes are more moist are sweeter, have more diversity......british cakes and icing (comercial anyway) tend to be low in sugars and salts and all the stuff that makes them good
Sun 07:08:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's probably some sort of government regulation.
Sun 07:08:34 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ yep
Sun 07:08:53 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ if it tastes good its got to be taxed or removed
Sun 07:09:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They really can't stop you from making it yourself though.
Sun 07:09:18 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ no true.
Sun 07:09:58 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ but in the US you can buy a stunning cake in the shops....here its hit or miss
Sun 07:10:13 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ usually miss
Sun 07:10:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ What are they going to do, outlaw the raw ingredients? Send the cops to make sure you're using approved measurements?
Sun 07:10:39 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ lol...don't joke...the way we are going that could be likely.
Sun 07:10:43 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ :)
Sun 07:11:02 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ the Cake Police.
Sun 07:11:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Armed Police! DO NOT PUT THAT EGG IN THE BATTER! SIR, STEP AWAY FROM THE EGG! HANDS ON YOUR HEAD NOW!!!"
Sun 07:11:35 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ lol
Sun 07:12:20 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ I could be a proffesional witness for the cake prosecution....thats a job I;d like, tasting those cakes for too much sugar and good stuff
Sun 07:12:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Oh God, these people disgust me!" *eats more* "Yep, just wanted to make sure."
Sun 07:12:57 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ lol
Sun 07:13:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Like the narcotics cop who has to dab his finger in the cocaine four times just to be sure they're not going to waste a test kit.
Sun 07:14:07 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ Ill do the cake version..
Sun 07:14:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He's a good guy, looking out for the state's finances.
Sun 07:15:09 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ its a sacrifice id ve willing to make
Sun 07:16:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I always wondered how the government decides what you get to eat.
Sun 07:17:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Like, we're going to put the government that got us $42 trillion in debt in control of what's allowed in food.
Sun 07:17:23 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ yes especially when for them its a case of them eating whatever they want.
Sun 07:17:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ We're going to assume to the government that kept us in Afghanistan for two decades knows whether synthetic food dye is safe.
Sun 07:17:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ [02:17] <Goblin> yes especially when for them its a case of them eating whatever they want.
Sun 07:18:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There's a Coronavirus pandemic, you're not going out of your house. All businesses are closed.
Sun 07:18:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then you find all of them opening restaurants, hair salons, and nail parlors just for themselves, and having house parties.
Sun 07:19:14 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ yeah, covid doesn't affect those in power....and you can't expect THEM to loose their luxuries.
Sun 07:19:27 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ thats for us peasants.
Sun 07:20:17 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ cant have the peasants having nice things, they'll get ideas above their station
Sun 07:20:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I thought that was hysterical when they were bringing Boris Johnson out on a stretcher.
Sun 07:20:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ After he was throwing house parties.
Sun 07:20:58 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ They weren't parties according to him.....for a while anyway.
Sun 07:21:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ When the Prime Minister gets too loud do the police show up with a noise complaint?
Sun 07:22:47 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ Downing street doesn't effectively have neighbours (all just part of the same machine) but if the music was loud enough to be heard a distance away Id not expect any police action......unless the press got involved.
Sun 07:31:11 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ hey.... I think the Wiki for my town has been updated...... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seaham = Roy, when are you both coming back for a break?
