XFaCE | schestowitz: wow | Jan 02 18:08 |
qu1j0t3 | it's a big, invisible problem that nobody talks about. | Jan 02 18:10 |
qu1j0t3 | ditto Murdoch, but who knows, maybe that will crack open? Not so far, though. | Jan 02 18:10 |
XFaCE | qu1j0t3: At least not for Fox News viewer | Jan 02 18:11 |
XFaCE | s | Jan 02 18:11 |
XFaCE | qu1j0t3: Bill Gates is still revered | Jan 02 18:13 |
qu1j0t3 | XFaCE: yes, I know. | Jan 02 18:13 |
qu1j0t3 | XFaCE: people have been trained to worship money. | Jan 02 18:13 |
XFaCE | The reason I see is that people perceive him as deserving of his wealth through the success and "hard work" as compared with bankers that did nothing | Jan 02 18:13 |
qu1j0t3 | XFaCE: very useful | Jan 02 18:13 |
XFaCE | This is the reason I see most often | Jan 02 18:13 |
XFaCE | "It's not like their bill gates, these are bankers.. yadda yadda" | Jan 02 18:14 |
XFaCE | qu1j0t3: It isn't money worship I think | Jan 02 18:14 |
XFaCE | Because the bankers are hated now | Jan 02 18:14 |
qu1j0t3 | they crossed a line. | Jan 02 18:15 |
qu1j0t3 | but essentially, most people seem to worship money. look at Trump. | Jan 02 18:15 |
qu1j0t3 | bankers are a popular, trendy dislike | Jan 02 18:15 |
XFaCE | qu1j0t3: Trump is at least ridiculed | Jan 02 18:15 |
qu1j0t3 | in some cases. | Jan 02 18:15 |
schestowitz | Like Branson | Jan 02 18:15 |
qu1j0t3 | Kardashians are not. | Jan 02 18:15 |
XFaCE | qu1j0t3: For example, TYT | Jan 02 18:15 |
qu1j0t3 | take away their money--they're nobody. | Jan 02 18:15 |
qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: yes, branson. | Jan 02 18:15 |
XFaCE | TYT criticizes Trump | Jan 02 18:15 |
qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: "beyond criticism" because he is rich. | Jan 02 18:15 |
qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: this is training. | Jan 02 18:15 |
XFaCE | But doesn't criticize Gates | Jan 02 18:16 |
XFaCE | Then again, they have a stupid position on file sharing | Jan 02 18:16 |
XFaCE | schestowitz: The Young Turks | Jan 02 18:16 |
XFaCE | qu1j0t3: Branson that bad? I perceived him far "better" than Gates, et al. | Jan 02 18:16 |
qu1j0t3 | haha | Jan 02 18:17 |
qu1j0t3 | no, they're all in the same club | Jan 02 18:17 |
qu1j0t3 | but i am sure he'll be happy to know his PR works | Jan 02 18:17 |
qu1j0t3 | XFaCE: put it this way. When did Branson EVER lift a finger to attack the problem? | Jan 02 18:18 |
qu1j0t3 | XFaCE: it's a very simple test you can apply to anyone | Jan 02 18:18 |
XFaCE | qu1j0t3: Which problem? | Jan 02 18:18 |
qu1j0t3 | XFaCE: journalists, too. | Jan 02 18:18 |
qu1j0t3 | XFaCE: the real problem(s) we face. | Jan 02 18:18 |
XFaCE | ah | Jan 02 18:18 |
qu1j0t3 | XFaCE: any of them. take social justice. | Jan 02 18:18 |
MinceR | did Branson do as much damage as gates did, though? | Jan 02 18:18 |
MinceR | :> | Jan 02 18:19 |
XFaCE | MinceR: I'd say no | Jan 02 18:19 |
schestowitz | MinceR: nope | Jan 02 18:19 |
qu1j0t3 | MinceR: it's not about applying relative measures. | Jan 02 18:19 |
schestowitz | he doesn't have a PR operation that bribe journos, though | Jan 02 18:19 |
qu1j0t3 | MinceR: but probably not. | Jan 02 18:19 |
qu1j0t3 | We can mete out sentences when we get them in the dock. | Jan 02 18:19 |
schestowitz | Gates is *still* doing a lot of damage | Jan 02 18:19 |
schestowitz | Not only through Microsoft | Jan 02 18:19 |
qu1j0t3 | until then, we need to work on getting them there. | Jan 02 18:19 |
qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: exactly | Jan 02 18:19 |
qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: more than ever, one might say. | Jan 02 18:19 |
schestowitz | See Russian Today on him | Jan 02 18:20 |
XFaCE | qu1j0t3: Have you found a link with Peter Gabriel and Gates at all, one that is worrysome? | Jan 02 18:20 |
schestowitz | Keiser | Jan 02 18:20 |
schestowitz | He pwned him | Jan 02 18:20 |
schestowitz | He does the same with agra and health now that he did with MS | Jan 02 18:20 |
qu1j0t3 | XFaCE: not to date. | Jan 02 18:20 |
schestowitz | Monopoly and IP taxes | Jan 02 18:20 |
XFaCE | qu1j0t3: Good | Jan 02 18:20 |
schestowitz | imposition of One Way | Jan 02 18:20 |
MinceR | gates can spend a ton of money on the right things to even just begin undoing the damage he did, but he isn't even doing that | Jan 02 18:20 |
qu1j0t3 | MinceR: right. | Jan 02 18:20 |
schestowitz | But he also bribes the press to play along while he does this | Jan 02 18:20 |
qu1j0t3 | MinceR: he's doing the opposite | Jan 02 18:20 |
qu1j0t3 | MinceR: BUT | Jan 02 18:20 |
MinceR | indeed | Jan 02 18:20 |
schestowitz | he calls this "evangelisation" in antitrust exhibits | Jan 02 18:20 |
qu1j0t3 | MinceR: since it's stolen money, he should be contemplating his crimes in a small cell. | Jan 02 18:20 |
schestowitz | Yeah | Jan 02 18:21 |
MinceR | who should pay to feed him there? | Jan 02 18:21 |
qu1j0t3 | MinceR: as anyone else would. | Jan 02 18:21 |
MinceR | and to keep him from escaping? | Jan 02 18:21 |
qu1j0t3 | MinceR: the food won't be expensive. | Jan 02 18:21 |
schestowitz | Money used to glorify rathert than measure the cost of the crime | Jan 02 18:21 |
qu1j0t3 | MinceR: :D | Jan 02 18:21 |
qu1j0t3 | MinceR: I'd happily pay for his food to see him behind bars for a long time. | Jan 02 18:21 |

MinceR | schestowitz: no, communism is even worse | Jan 02 18:22 |
qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: And it worked!!!!! | Jan 02 18:22 |
schestowitz | But they put this one dude at the stake cause his business was smaller, easier target to corner | Jan 02 18:22 |
schestowitz | No politicians to back him | Jan 02 18:22 |

schestowitz | in LA they got m16s IIRC | Jan 02 18:27 |

schestowitz | some years ago | Jan 02 18:28 |
schestowitz | good for them... they got military-grade weapons now in the police | Jan 02 18:28 |
VTM7HLuT5EG2 | schestowitz: tasers? are you kidding? | Jan 02 18:30 |
VTM7HLuT5EG2 | schestowitz: they've been in North America for years. | Jan 02 18:31 |

VTM7HLuT5EG2 | mislabelling a deadly weapon, how is that not a crime? | Jan 02 18:34 |
schestowitz | I misspelled Taser{tm} | Jan 02 18:34 |
MinceR | what's with the random nick? :) | Jan 02 18:34 |
schestowitz | VTM7HLuT5EG2: worse | Jan 02 18:34 |
schestowitz | the other day I watched the second part of Meet the Parents | Jan 02 18:34 |
schestowitz | And I think they embedded Taser promotion in it | Jan 02 18:34 |
schestowitz | Where they name it and the cop spouts out talking points about how it's not harmful | Jan 02 18:35 |
schestowitz | Maybe you can find that on youtube, there were many embedded ads in that film, so this too is likely. They used a trademark promotionally in the script. | Jan 02 18:35 |
VTM7HLuT5EG2 | schestowitz: many deaths | Jan 02 18:35 |
schestowitz | and they made it look comical when people are tasered | Jan 02 18:35 |
VTM7HLuT5EG2 | schestowitz: i follow twitter activists who have lost relatives | Jan 02 18:35 |
schestowitz | which upset me | Jan 02 18:35 |
VTM7HLuT5EG2 | schestowitz: even when the victim DOESN'T die, it's horrible. | Jan 02 18:36 |

VTM7HLuT5EG2 | demonise protesters | Jan 02 18:36 |
schestowitz | yrsterday we watched a horror films | Jan 02 18:36 |
VTM7HLuT5EG2 | "if the police are attacking you, you're a bad person, and you deserve it" | Jan 02 18:36 |
schestowitz | Me laughing at it bothered her | Jan 02 18:36 |

FurnaceBoy | XFaCE: you won't get a pro-Steve view from the biog. | Jan 02 19:05 |
FurnaceBoy | XFaCE: it has been very poorly reviewed, as a biography | Jan 02 19:05 |
FurnaceBoy | XFaCE: can you say "rushed to print" | Jan 02 19:05 |

XFaCE | oh wow | Jan 02 19:07 |
XFaCE | "Proposals for the book to be adapted into a feature-length biographical film were announced a few days after Jobs's death.[17] Sony Pictures acquired the rights to the book from author Walter Isaacson for a seven-figure sum. The film will be titled Steve Jobs and will be produced by Mark Gordon.[18] | Jan 02 19:07 |
XFaCE | Although it will be the first feature-length film to document the life of Jobs, previous films have been produced. In 1999, a television film Pirates of Silicon Valley was released, with Noah Wyle playing Jobs." | Jan 02 19:07 |
XFaCE | really? | Jan 02 19:07 |
FurnaceBoy | XFaCE: cash-ins | Jan 02 19:07 |

FurnaceBoy | XFaCE: yes. rushed to print, sensationalist | Jan 02 19:07 |
FurnaceBoy | XFaCE: oh, no. | Jan 02 19:07 |
FurnaceBoy | XFaCE: you won't get a glorification of Steve from this book | Jan 02 19:08 |
FurnaceBoy | XFaCE: i doubt it is much use, really. Probably "Infinite Loop" is a better portrait. And that's not flattering either. | Jan 02 19:08 |
FurnaceBoy | I bet Isaacson is busy working on Kim Jong Il's unauth biog now | Jan 02 19:09 |
