Sat 04:18:10 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I mentioned how all the Filipinos I called at Capital One were really friendly, and he said something like "Yeah, they got rid of all the ones that weren't."
Sat 04:18:53 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It's like this in the US too. Like, if you have a major mental illness like I do, you're not going to be thinking happy happy thoughts all the time. Maybe you can do something but you're seriously handicapped in trying to find work that pays enough money to live.
Sat 04:19:18 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ You walk into a customer service job and they force them all to act like they just got done reading Dianetics. And the job postings read this way too.
Sat 04:20:30 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], I'm spending all next week with my boyfriend because Christmas so why not.
Sat 04:21:30 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I spoke with a divorce attorney today. They were really nice to me, and said that the goal here is not to start a war with Mandy because it could get very expensive. They said that we'd be working to get him on the same page and realize it would be in his own best interest to dissolve the marrriage equitably.
Sat 04:21:54 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ To that end, we'll be sending him an email not service by the police or at work or anything.
Sat 04:22:24 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I told her, "Yeah, having the police show up at your door or being embarrassed at work sort of puts us on unproductive footing here."

Sat 04:23:05 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I know how people get when the police show up at their door or embarrass them at work.
Sat 04:23:27 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ That's sometimes how the other spouse ends up getting shot. (Rarely, but it happens.)
Sat 04:23:33 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ At the very least, they become unreasonable.
Sat 04:24:53 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ There was this one guy in Marion, Indiana when I was a child, and he is the reason the courthouse put in metal detectors in like 1997(?) because his wife was divorcing him.

Sun 17:59:40 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ From the description I've heard of it, if you land in a major city it smells like a tire fire and then by that evening you're blowing black shit out of your nose.
Sun 17:59:45 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ wow, RMS wasn't born super-rich, so he must be a bad person!
Sun 17:59:48 │ 〖𝐈𝐑𝐂 TR NEWS〗 │ That means that slop companies (pyramid schemes basically) strongly dislike or fear him
Sun 18:00:03 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and then we wonder why the devil apes in nazi america elected a pedophile king
Sun 18:00:13 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] he was born in Manhattan
Sun 18:00:18 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ RMS is definitely smart enough that he could have made a lot more money, had he resorted to doing something unethical.
Sun 18:00:18 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] but it was a very long time ago
Sun 18:00:22 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] probably nowhere as expensive
Sun 18:00:32 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i really don't know how the stupidest organism in the universe managed to achieve a population of over 8 billion
Sun 18:00:34 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ He could have had a very successful career anywhere in the tech industry.
Sun 18:00:57 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] MinceR: eating other animals
Sun 18:00:57 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ He'd probably be one of the few people that survived in those companies past age 40 when they look to get rid of most people due to salary expectations.
Sun 18:01:02 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] plus deforestation etc
Sun 18:01:37 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ There's a lot of reasons why proprietary software just doesn't tend to work well.
Sun 18:01:40 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] Isambard_Prince: maybe 30s now
Sun 18:01:44 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] from what I hears
Sun 18:01:47 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] heard
Sun 18:01:48 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] even 35
Sun 18:01:52 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] the threshold changed
Sun 18:01:56 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] it's like super-models
Sun 18:02:00 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ One of them is that when you're constantly firing people who are in their 30s and 40s and replacing them with people who have no experience, you get a lot more mistakes.
Sun 18:02:01 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] they don't have many roles
Sun 18:02:14 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Mistakes that people with experience likely wouldn't make
Sun 18:02:18 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] and figure out they can squeeze in grads on mini-skirt/salary
Sun 18:02:30 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] they'd take any salary
Sun 18:02:35 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] for "experience"
Sun 18:02:37 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ There's a good reason why businesses SHOULD hire older workers.
Sun 18:02:39 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] as they lack any savings
Sun 18:02:44 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ schestowitz[TR2]: those other animals should be able to outsmart the devil apes with ease
Sun 18:02:48 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ You hire young people, you get rookie mistakes and a lack of work ethic.
Sun 18:02:59 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They want to party and get trashed. They use drugs, they call in all the time.
Sun 18:03:05 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ but i guess they're just waiting for us to exterminate ourselves so then they can feast on our remains
Sun 18:03:10 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They slip off into the bathroom during work to check Grindr, or TikTok.
Sun 18:03:22 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] MinceR watch Planet of the Apes
Sun 18:03:25 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] you might like it
Sun 18:03:28 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i live on it, sadly
Sun 18:03:30 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Older workers are less likely to be immature like that.
Sun 18:03:32 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ 21 190018 < Isambard_Prince> RMS is definitely smart enough that he could have made a lot more money, had he resorted to doing something unethical.
Sun 18:03:33 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] we watched several at the cinema
Sun 18:03:41 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ seems to me that takes more ASPD than smarts
Sun 18:03:46 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ being born rich also helps a lot
Sun 18:03:47 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Immaturity is costing you payroll hours even in low wage sectors like customer service.
Sun 18:04:12 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ (case in point: over 70 million retarded apes in nazi america who automatically believe you're a great person if you were born rich)
Sun 18:04:18 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It's the same reason why it used to be harder to find housing as an older person.
Sun 18:04:33 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But now there's a lot of non-subsidized housing that says they won't rent to anyone under 45.
Sun 18:04:53 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Actually that is illegal.
Sun 18:05:04 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] to be under 45?\
Sun 18:05:05 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They should say nobody under 40. Then no law would be broken at all.
Sun 18:05:06 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] :")
Sun 18:05:25 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The Illinois Human Rights Act says no age discrimination, but only against people above 40.
Sun 18:05:31 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ why would you expect work ethic from a species that prefers low quality products and services and generally just doesn't give a fuck about anything?
Sun 18:05:38 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ nobody cares
Sun 18:05:47 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So if you advertise nobody under 45 for an apartment, you discriminate against people between 40-45 which is illegal.
Sun 18:06:19 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But if you advertise nobody under 40, that's perfectly legal under state law, because you haven't discriminated against anyone over 40.
Sun 18:06:31 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Under federal law, it's still illegal, but you satisfied the state law.
Sun 18:06:55 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And it's easier for people to take action under state law because the ICHR is easier to deal with than the federal government.
Sun 18:07:18 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I'dd be much more concerned with satisfying the state law.
Sun 18:07:48 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Right now I could go to that apartment, and apply, and when they deny me, I could file a complaint with ICHR and they'd potentially owe me a lot of money because of that listing.
Sun 18:08:29 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I am not required to prove that it was because I'm under 45. I'm required to prove that I wanted the apartment and there was NO CHANCE I would get it because of the age requirement.
Sun 18:09:01 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] did they make "sour face"?
Sun 18:09:44 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], I am dropping my complaint because I was under the influence of REEFER MADNESS! -Brandon Lobster
Sun 18:09:53 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, ^
Sun 18:09:56 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] worse
Sun 18:10:01 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] we have some explosive material
Sun 18:10:01 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ lol
Sun 18:10:06 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] but am not publishing yety
Sun 18:10:10 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] kept for mroe strategic time
Sun 18:12:03 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ "And he's never done anything immoral....UNLESS YOU COUNT ALL THE TIMES HE SOLD DOPE DRESSED AS A NUN!" "Or illegal....UNLESS YOU COUNT THE PRESCHOOLER PROSTITUTE RING!"
Sun 18:12:18 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, Great movie. Also, Canadian, oddly enough.
Sun 18:12:24 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Back when they had a sense of humor I suppose.
Sun 18:12:58 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ it's easier to have a sense humor when it's less obvious that everything is going to shit because of humans
Sun 18:13:03 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ s/nse/nse of/
Sun 18:14:27 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Yeah. The early 1980s were just an easier time I suppose. Even with the beginning of the end of liberal democracy and worker rights, it still wasn't as bad as trying to live today.
Sun 18:14:48 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Now you have to chat with a robot to see if you get a job.
Sun 18:14:53 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And they call it an interview.
Sun 18:15:23 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Illinois just passed a law, not enough really, to regulate "AI" in hiring decisions.
Sun 18:15:40 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But it just said it can't consider your zip code or do anything that results in violating the Human Rights Act.
Sun 18:15:49 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But the question is how you would prove that.
Sun 18:15:55 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ in the early 1980s you could just buy a computer without any backdoors in it
Sun 18:16:06 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and you could just run whatever code you wanted on it, and this was considered normal
Sun 18:16:18 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I mean I hope that they decide that makes it too dangerous to use, but they will probably continue to use it illegally with no consequences.
Sun 18:16:22 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and you weren't considered to be some kind of evil monster because you wanted to
Sun 18:16:49 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ also, nazism wasn't super popular
Sun 18:18:46 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, Projection works by accusing other people of being precisely what you are. When people say the only people who want to use Free Software are "criminals", it's usually criminals that are saying this.
Sun 18:19:01 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Almost everyone caught with child porn for example, was a Windows user.
Sun 18:19:29 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And the people who write software to take away privacy, are interested primarily in little kids, it often turns out.
Sun 18:20:35 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ These people are so sick that it doesn't even occur to them why what they are doing is wrong.
Sun 18:20:42 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So they don't even bother to hide it that well.
Sun 18:21:09 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ In some cases, they even plaster it all over their online presence.
Sun 18:21:44 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They're not interested in privacy. Either they're not smart enough or it honestly does not occur to them why they would.
Sun 18:22:16 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ People with sick fetishes tend to cloister themselves together in the major cities.
Sun 18:22:22 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Where moral decay is accepted as normal.
Sun 18:22:36 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And there's a certain degree of anonymity because of there being a lot of people.
Sun 18:22:49 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So you get stuff like this in Chicago, or San Francisco.
Sun 18:23:39 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ That's why in Chicago they put an S&M museum next to a sex shop that puts their wares in the window, across from a park for children.
Sun 18:23:54 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Or in San Francisco, they have the Folsom Street Fair.
Sun 18:24:57 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But then these people get on the Web and start petitions against Richard Stallman, based on nothing.
Sun 18:25:06 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Projection is....accusing everyone else of being what YOU are.
Sun 18:25:46 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ There are gay men who I don't want to be affiliated with, most of them for that matter, maybe.
Sun 18:26:02 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They get on sex apps and they flaunt that they're with different men every night.
Sun 18:26:16 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They flaunt that they don't use protection and that they're proud of being diseased.
Sun 18:26:36 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They openly admit that they want to have sex in public and snort poppers while they do it.
Sun 18:27:44 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And then there's others that vaguely care about STIs but are still on Grindr, and they know that being exposed to STIs multiple times in every week is a given, so they give Grindr medical information about themselves, like what they've been vaccinated for, and that they take pills every day to try to reduce the harm from being repeatedly exposed to dozens of STIs.
Sun 18:28:45 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I mean, I know I've taken vaccines that make sense for me. Why would I tell a sex app that tells Facebook
Sun 18:29:23 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I hate Grindr. It's, pretty much GIVING it to conservatives, why they are justified in being homophobes.
Sun 18:29:45 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Because easily 70-80% of gay men are like this.
Sun 18:29:48 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ If not more.
Sun 18:31:17 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And there's a reason why I say pedophiles should be incinerated (especially gay ones), because even if that's actually not the norm for anyone, gay or straight, they'll use that.
Sun 18:31:24 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Every time they find a gay one, they'll use that.
Sun 18:31:56 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They'll use anything they can get their hands on.
Sun 18:32:34 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They'll completely ignore all the straight ones. They'll ignore that every day in the news it turned out that some Christian conservative firebrand pastor, turned out to be the miniature Jeffrey Epstein of his local church.
Sun 18:38:10 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ 21 192035 < Isambard_Prince> These people are so sick that it doesn't even occur to them why what they are doing is wrong.
Sun 18:38:29 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ well, it's difficult to suspect what one does is wrong when tens of millions tell them they're so great
Sun 18:38:47 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and, as you can see, they don't even need to hide it
Sun 18:40:11 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Basically.
Sun 18:40:34 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They just move where the community "values" go "Well, you like kids? That's just another alternative lifestyle. Yay you!"
Sun 18:40:54 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i wonder how many years we have until ruscist start openly campaigning as pedophiles running for a pedophile cause
Sun 18:41:03 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ s/ist/ists/
Sun 18:41:04 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ We had this problem before. Child molesters trying to attach themselves to the gay rights movement.
Sun 18:41:25 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Then it was trannies, who successfully did so and that's not as bad as child molesters, but it's still setting us back.
Sun 18:42:08 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ While polls show that about 73% of Americans are okay with gay men, that was over 80% before the "LGBTWHATEVER" thing happened." It's hurting us.
Sun 18:42:24 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Because trans was polling at like 40% or something and they hitched on.
Sun 18:42:34 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And we didn't pull them up, they dragged us down.
Sun 18:42:35 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ well, now it's the anti-gay-rights movement they're attached to
Sun 18:43:02 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It's two different issues.
Sun 18:43:02 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ the "conservative" alternative to LGBTQ+ rights: pedophile rights.
Sun 18:50:52 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Yeah, what sort of people say that gays are disgusting, then they're flying around on Epstein's plane and there's little girls that they're 50 years older than sitting next to them?
Sun 18:51:25 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Epstein being caught didn't stop them. They just got new suppliers.
Sun 18:51:30 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ That's why they all have yachts.
Sun 18:51:51 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It's hard to prove a crime at sea, especially when the victim is a girl abducted from another country where nobody will investigate.
Sun 18:52:17 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And honestly, you know, the same people who were photographed with Epstein are probably on those yachts and throwing the victims overboard when they're done.
Sun 18:52:27 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ These people learn after getting burned the first time that survivors talk.
Sun 18:56:32 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], For the hell of it, I got a VCR and a console TV.
Sun 18:56:54 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It's an old RCA model the Catholic thrift store had. They only wanted $20.
Sun 18:57:30 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ There were some lines in the picture that were annoying so I emailed my dad and he told me how to fix that.
Sun 18:57:37 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ He would know. He designed it.
Sun 18:57:38 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ :)
Sun 18:58:48 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The tapes I've found so far all still work fine.
Sun 18:59:02 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Even though they've probably been stored in non ideal conditions and haven't been watched in years.
