Sat 13:56:32 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] Yesterday was my last day at Red Hat (again). As part of the Operations Evolution, my role has transitioned to the IBM People organization. While I’ll be wearing an IBM badge, I’m thrilled that I will remain a collaborative partner for Red Hat operations, continuing to support HR and Global Workspace solutions.
Sat 13:56:32 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] I’ll admit, the last few months were emotionally tough. I had planned to spend many more years at Red Hat, collecting a few more 5-year service pucks and contributing to the "Shadowman" legacy. However, I’ve always believed that change—whether expected or not—shapes who we are and opens doors we hadn't yet considered.
Sat 13:56:33 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] I’m stepping into this new chapter as a Data Engineer, and I’m genuinely excited to dive deep into how IBM operates at scale."

Sun 04:25:43 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │
Sun 04:25:45 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ A long time. As an illustration, I get potential BK clients coming to me, saying "I'm tapped out, I got no money left, gotta file Chapter 7." I say OK and set up a meeting. I don't hear back from them for 6 months. Again, "No money left, time to file Chapter 7." I say ok, let's set up a meeting. Don't hear back.

Sun 06:12:53 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2], But that is true, that most people try to forestall bankruptcy as long as possible.
Sun 06:12:59 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It just doesn't make a lot of sense.
Sun 06:14:32 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They're spending money on minimum payments, and then they still have to file at the end. But now they've waited another year or so and it puts off the next time they can file another year, and it cost them all that money they'll never get back, and not only do they have to wait another year to file again if they need to, since they waited that year, that's a year their credit wasn't recovering while all their bills got more and
Sun 06:14:32 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ more delinquent.
Sun 06:16:01 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The only advantage here in doing that is that it might help convince a Trustee that doesn't really care most likely, either way, that you were delusional and thought your circumstances would get better.
Sun 06:18:01 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ To be fraudulent, a bankruptcy generally can either be "presumed fraud" which means that you didn't wait a minimum amount of time before filing since you did a thing (in which case, no creditor has to object. It's presumed to be a civil fraud and the debt survives), or a creditor can complain of civil fraud, and try to get the debt to survive. (This presumes you didn't hide assets, which is not only civil, but criminal fraud too.)
Sun 06:20:19 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ If a creditor complains, they have to prove that when you took the loan or made the purchase using credit they extended to you, that you had no intention of paying them back. This is almost impossible ("mind reading"), or they can say that the purchase was a "luxury expense" if it was beyond a certain dollar amount (which was set by law in 2005 and has not changed since!), or they could say you purchased something that represents
Sun 06:20:20 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ a concealed asset (like stored value cards, or expensive jewelry or someething) then failed to declare them.
Sun 06:21:48 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ To be aware of that, they need high resolution data, usually, like Level 3 data, which the card network might get but not necessarily the bank (unless it's AmEx or Discover, which are the bank and the network) *if* the merchant gives them Level 3 data. Otherwise they'd have to comb over your credit card statements and say "Aha! He spent $5000 at a jewelry store!"
Sun 06:22:27 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Usually nobody shows up to a 341 Meeting of Creditors, and it just goes through. There's an unlimited time for them to complain if they become aware of civil fraud later on.
Sun 06:24:35 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But criminal penalties have a five year statute of limitations. That starts at the date of the offense. So lying on a bankruptcy petition is five years from the date of filing, lying at the 341 Meeting is five years from that, asset concealment is five years from the discharge date or denial of discharge.
Sun 06:25:03 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Bankruptcy law is pretty complex. But it's not unknowable.
Sun 06:25:33 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Chapter 7 is the simplest to understand. That's where it's a liquidation bankruptcy. Usually people here have no assets and the debt is discharged.
Sun 06:25:49 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ No assets means subject to whatever exemptions you can use in your state.
Sun 06:26:23 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ There's also a "presumption of abuse", which can arise if you try to file under Chapter 7, but your household income is above the median for your state.
Sun 06:26:47 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ They'll usually convert these to a Chapter 13 Restructuring Plan instead of throwing it out or sanctioning you though.
Sun 06:29:08 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It makes no sense to delay filing bankruptcy, assuming you qualify, you need it, and there's no fraud or "abuse" involved.
Sun 06:29:16 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ You only end up hurting yourself more.
Sun 06:29:22 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But most people delay.
Sun 06:31:01 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ If you have a house payment, it makes even more sense to file as soon as you can.
Sun 06:31:18 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Every payment builds more equity in the house. So you might end up not being able to protect the house.

Sun 18:23:53 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The problem with legalizing some incest but not others is that then the people who would engage in harmful incest might sue the state and get the whole law overturned, so the state only tends to become involved when deformed offspring are the evidence of the crime.
Sun 18:24:29 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But incest, multiple times, is in the bible as if it's a good way to propel a species, but incest as a way to propel a species typically falls apart immediately.

Sun 18:29:37 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I don't generally think things should be illegal purely because other people find the idea "gross" or "shameful" without an actual harmful effect to point to. Defective offspring is such an effect to point to.
Sun 18:29:52 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But in some cases, it's a "victimless crime".
Sun 18:30:20 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Where there's no possibility of offspring, the state should use its discretion to prosecute something else instead.
Sun 18:31:07 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But the bible putting incest in there as if it's fine, is another reason to WTF the bible.
Sun 18:34:52 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Each criminal prosecution costs the state anywhere between hundreds (traffic shit), tens of thousands (misdemeanors), and millions (felonies).

Sun 20:10:44 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The price went up by a lot, like 30-40%, but it was AFTER they ordered it. So Corsair just refunded them and canceled the orders.
