| Librarian | immibis, I already explained that above: | Jul 03 13:45 |
| Librarian | 15:01 < Librarian> It was not accepted by the slave owners of the American south in the 1850s, because they said that abolishing slavery would deprive them of their "freedom" to own slaves. | Jul 03 13:46 |
| Librarian | 15:02 < Librarian> That's why socialists who attempt to impose socialism on people against their free choice are seen as exactly the same as slave-owners of the American south in the 1850s. | Jul 03 13:46 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.tuxmachines.org | GNOME 40.2 on Debian / Ubuntu – JHBuild GNOME Latest | Tux Machines | Jul 03 13:46 | |
| Librarian | 15:03 < Librarian> Socialists seek to commandeer the labor of others (and the goods acquired by such labor) against their choice and enforced with violence. | Jul 03 13:46 |
| Librarian | 15:03 < Librarian> They're enslavers. | Jul 03 13:46 |
| Librarian | My TV is the result of my labor. If you try to redirect the output of my labor to the resources of *your* choosing instead of *my* choosing, then, by definition, you're enslaving me. | Jul 03 13:47 |
| Librarian | That enslavement requires you to force me to work for the ends you determine, which is the opposite of freedom. Whereas, if we just leave each other alone to work for the ends we determine for ourselves, no violence must occur, and we get to choose for ourselves the results of our labor: that's peaceful, and it's the opposite of slavery, called "freedom." | Jul 03 13:49 |
| Librarian | Above I offered: 15:08 < Librarian> Would you like me to help you operate a web browser, so that you can look it up and figure out what the most common usage of the term "free market" is? | Jul 03 13:51 |
| Librarian | 15:08 < Librarian> I can guide you if you need such guidance. Let me know if you'd like my help in that way. | Jul 03 13:51 |
| Librarian | And now, since you misapplied the term "forcing" to the concept of "free market," I will now make good on that offer and show you where you could have read for yourself what the "free market" is and how it doesn't require me to force you to do anything: | Jul 03 13:52 |
| Librarian | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_market | Jul 03 13:52 |
| immibis | Librarian: You seem to think that your imposition against my free choice doesn't count for some reason | Jul 03 13:52 |
| Librarian | That's because the free market doesn't require (nor even permit) "my imposition agianst your free choice." | Jul 03 13:52 |
| Librarian | You just made that up. It's false. It's factually wrong. | Jul 03 13:52 |
| Librarian | If you force me to labor for something *you* choose, then *that's* an "imposition against my free choice." But if you simply leave me alone, for *me* to labor for something *I* choose, then that's the opposite of an "imposition against my free choice;" that's called "freedom." | Jul 03 13:54 |
| Librarian | And the definition of "Free market" on the page I just provided the link to would have explained that, if you had done a simple web search and read it. | Jul 03 13:54 |
| *inky_ has quit (Ping timeout: 268 seconds) | Jul 03 13:55 | |

| Librarian | So, stop doing that. | Jul 03 13:55 |

| Librarian | immibis, do you happen to know where the phrase originated, in which evil socialist totalitarians attempted to brainwash people, through a concerted propaganda campaign and formalized attempts to rewrite dictionaries, to believe that "freedom is slavery?" Do you know the dystopian fiction literature in which that phrase, exactly as written, was popularized? | Jul 03 14:13 |
| immibis | Librarian: you seem to be saying the free market *obliges* you to impose against my free choice. I have the free choice to take your TV and leave some money, and by not allowing that, you are imposing against my free choice. | Jul 03 14:14 |
| immibis | in fact, I have the free choice to burn your house down and cover the yard in toxic radioactive goo, and by not allowing that, you are imposing against my free choice. | Jul 03 14:14 |
| Librarian | That's exactly the logic employed by slave-owners in the American south in the 1850s, to justify their unethical slavery. | Jul 03 14:14 |
| Librarian | "But I want to have the FREEEEEDOM to enslave black people!" | Jul 03 14:15 |
| Librarian | That's what vile, depraved socialists want to do today, too: "But I want to have the FREEEEEDOM to enslave *you* to force you to work for me to have a TV!" | Jul 03 14:15 |
| Librarian | But "freedom" and "slavery" are words that mean the opposite of each other, not the same thing. | Jul 03 14:16 |
| *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving) | Jul 03 14:17 | |
| Librarian | So if you're trying to enslave me to work for ends *you* choose, then that's not freedom. That's enslavement. | Jul 03 14:17 |
| Librarian | immibis, do you happen to know where the phrase originated, in which evil socialist totalitarians attempted to brainwash people, through a concerted propaganda campaign and formalized attempts to rewrite dictionaries, to believe that "freedom is slavery?"

| *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@m8hmnwjcrt37i.irc) has joined #techrights | Jul 03 14:18 | |
| Librarian | immibis: hello? Do you know what famous dystopian literature exposed the depravity of those attempting to conflate the words "freedom" and "slavery?" | Jul 03 14:29 |
| immibis | is it really so hard to accept that you are imposing against my free choice? | Jul 03 14:29 |
| immibis | cognitive dissonance, man. it's astounding | Jul 03 14:30 |
| Librarian | No; it's merely using terms in exactly the way they're defined in the dictionary, rather than attempting to reverse them to mean completely the opposite. | Jul 03 14:32 |
| Librarian | "Enslaving" someone is not "freedom." | Jul 03 14:33 |
| Librarian | It really is that simple. | Jul 03 14:33 |
| Librarian | immibis, do you happen to know where the phrase originated, in which evil socialist totalitarians attempted to brainwash people, through a concerted propaganda campaign and formalized attempts to rewrite dictionaries, to believe that "freedom is slavery?" Do you know the dystopian fiction literature in which that phrase, exactly as written, was popularized? | Jul 03 14:33 |
| Librarian | immibis, here's a hint: if you type that phrase into a web search engine, with quotes, exactly as I wrote it, you can find the answer quickly and easily. | Jul 03 14:34 |
| Librarian | Hmm, incapable of answering. Okay, well, that's an interesting comparison: | Jul 03 14:38 |
| Librarian | A. When immibis asks a question that hinges on the meaning of the terms "freedom" and "slavery," I can answer quickly and cite the dictionaries and Wikipedia articles that support my usage of those terms. | Jul 03 14:39 |
| Librarian | B. Whn I ask a question about where the conflation of such opposite terms was popularized, immibis tries desperately to avoid answering. | Jul 03 14:39 |
| Librarian | Which of the above, A or B, is a symptom of "cognitive dissonance?" | Jul 03 14:39 |
| DaemonFC | Even though "no surprise billing" is a federal law now, 30% of hospitals aren't complying at all and are daring the Biden Administration to come at them, and about another 20% are making it very hard to get at any useful data. Very corrupt industry. | Jul 03 14:45 |
| DaemonFC | The regulations say that the data for the 300 most common procedures performed in the hospital must be presented, including cash prices, and what insurance companies would pay, and that it must be presented to the public in a way that is easy to open on a personal computer. | Jul 03 14:46 |

| DaemonFC | The hospitals just don't want anyone to know because it's easier to rip someone off when they can't compare prices and won't know what anything costs until months later when a bill arrives. | Jul 03 14:47 |
| *ybaumy has quit (Client Quit) | Jul 03 14:47 | |
| DaemonFC | So we're dealing with the same problems that we were before, and even if you can get at any data, there's a conspiracy to drive prices higher anyway. So it won't help you much. | Jul 03 14:48 |
| DaemonFC | I want to move to a state in thee south or the west so bad.

| DaemonFC | All of your real backers are perfectly safe already. | Jul 03 15:07 |
| DaemonFC | That's why only the Republican party makes crime a campaign issue. | Jul 03 15:07 |
| DaemonFC | Their voters aren't wealthy and living in a fenced off area with private police. | Jul 03 15:07 |
| DaemonFC | <blitzed> yeah, it should be like bodyshop/automechanic estimates, hospitals should be held to same kinda token standard at least | Jul 03 15:08 |
| DaemonFC | It just kind of struck me as interesting about 10 years ago that the price for an appendectomy could range from $6,000 to $90,000. | Jul 03 15:08 |
| DaemonFC | I mean, there's just no way that the cost to the hospital fluctuates in a range like that. | Jul 03 15:09 |
| blitzed | many years back my father in law's was $120k | Jul 03 15:09 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah, that's the ressult of years of window dressing fixes that the government put in to shut people up. | Jul 03 15:09 |
| blitzed | god damn Federal Reserve. | Jul 03 15:09 |
| DaemonFC | Like, you can go into the ER and they have to see everyone. Right? | Jul 03 15:09 |
| blitzed | Nixon & Kissinger burned the gold standard. | Jul 03 15:10 |
| DaemonFC | Now if that asshole that hit me and complained about his back dosn't get an insurance settlement from my car inssurance, the hospital will bill him. | Jul 03 15:10 |
| DaemonFC | He's a felon degenerate deadbeat, and fat chance he'll ever pay jack shit.... | Jul 03 15:10 |
| blitzed | if the system didn't get all corrupted, prices wouldn't be so skyhigh | Jul 03 15:10 |
| DaemonFC | So they just pass it to someone else. | Jul 03 15:10 |
| DaemonFC | If he had beaten a child in Illinois and not Wisconsin he'd be sent to anger management classes and he'd be allowed to vote. Not that these sorts ever do. | Jul 03 15:11 |
| DaemonFC | They're too busy high on crack or something. | Jul 03 15:11 |
| blitzed | a few years back my wife's car insurance was raised for apparently no reason...so called to inquire, they specifically cited Obamacare *LOL* | Jul 03 15:11 |

| DaemonFC | Either from the California wildfires or from the race war. | Jul 03 15:13 |
| blitzed | racism is such a bogus construct | Jul 03 15:14 |
| DaemonFC | That Root Insurance started off as we don't insure bad drivers so you won't pay for other people's misbehavior. | Jul 03 15:15 |
| DaemonFC | But then they just kept raising prices and now you have potentially dodgy insurance from an app that spies on you, and it costs as much as any other company out there. | Jul 03 15:15 |
| blitzed | divide & conquer garbage, smokescreen to get the pawns saber-rattling | Jul 03 15:15 |
| DaemonFC | They basically lied to sucker people into giving them data, burned through venture capital, and now they're just the same as the big old expensive insurance company. | Jul 03 15:17 |
| DaemonFC | All of them want you to give them tons of data, and it can backfire and raise your rates. | Jul 03 15:17 |
| DaemonFC | They say oh you can save 10%, and then they use the data to raise your premium 20% vs what you would have paid had you given them nothing to begin with | Jul 03 15:18 |
| DaemonFC | You have to be very careful with those, especially the apps. | Jul 03 15:18 |
| DaemonFC | Because they spy on you and they ding you for holding your phone when they think you're driving. How could they possibly know you're the one driving? | Jul 03 15:19 |
| Ariadne | oh oh i know | Jul 03 15:21 |
| Ariadne | they actually don't, there's an API in iOS and in Google Play Services they ask | Jul 03 15:21 |
| Ariadne | those APIs work based on using your phone as a gyroscope | Jul 03 15:21 |
| Ariadne | when you curve to the left and right, the g-forces are different for the driver vs passenger | Jul 03 15:22 |
| Ariadne | so thats how they can tell | Jul 03 15:22 |
| Ariadne | but, yes, i don't use the "app" for my car insurance provider for this reason | Jul 03 15:22 |
| DaemonFC | Root said bus rides didn't count. | Jul 03 15:22 |
| DaemonFC | So I got on the bus and it said "driving". | Jul 03 15:22 |
| DaemonFC | And then it gave me a 9.6 out of 10 based on riding the Chicago bus around. | Jul 03 15:23 |
| Ariadne | yeah theres no way it can really know | Jul 03 15:23 |
| DaemonFC | I didn't drive at all for like a week. | Jul 03 15:23 |
| DaemonFC | Then it wrote me a really good car insurance rate based on the bus. | Jul 03 15:23 |

| MinceR | you're lucky bus drivers over there don't drive like the ones here | Jul 03 15:29 |
| immibis | and now your insurance policy is invalid because you admitted to defrauding them, and they'll never repay you but they'll happily take your premiums until then | Jul 03 15:29 |

| Librarian | That's exactly what the slave-owners of the American south said in the 1850s. | Jul 03 16:08 |
| Librarian | As if their "freedom" to do one very narrow thing (enslave others) was equal to the freedoms of others, to do *anything* (work for whom they want, live where they want, eat what they want when they want, conduct family life how they want, etc.) | Jul 03 16:10 |
| Librarian | So when you see people trying to equate the "freedom to enslave" with the freedom to determine all aspects of one's own economic, personal, and social life... that's how you know you're dealing with a psychopath. | Jul 03 16:10 |

| Librarian | immibis, do you happen to know where the phrase originated, in which evil socialist totalitarians attempted to brainwash people, through a concerted propaganda campaign and formalized attempts to rewrite dictionaries, to believe that "freedom is slavery?" Do you know the dystopian fiction literature in which that phrase, exactly as written, was popularized? | Jul 03 16:12 |

| DaemonFC | schestowitz, Yes, and the TPM requirement doesn't matter much becaause many people bought a TPM because that's what the Windows PC Health App said was going to block Windows 11. | Jul 03 16:51 |
| DaemonFC | Then when they put it in and booted up and checked again, it said they were using a processor that was too old. | Jul 03 16:51 |
| schestowitz | in the future machines may refuse to boot certain OSes for being "too old" | Jul 03 16:51 |
| schestowitz | they will 'protect' your from 'unauthorised' OS | Jul 03 16:52 |
| DaemonFC | The laptop I am on right now is "too old" for Windows 11. It's from late 2016. | Jul 03 16:52 |
| DaemonFC | It runs Fedora 34 fine. | Jul 03 16:52 |
| schestowitz | some troll from Google even put the shit (shim)m for this in Linux | Jul 03 16:52 |
| DaemonFC | Oh mjg59? | Jul 03 16:52 |
| DaemonFC | You get peermission from Microsoft to use your laptop for about 5 entire years, even though with a new battery or plugged in it may have otherwise worked for 4-5 more years to come. | Jul 03 16:53 |
| DaemonFC | Wow. | Jul 03 16:53 |
| DaemonFC | They consider GNU/Linux compatibility to be like the MAFIAA considered the "analog hole". They tolerated it for a while because they didn't want to be sued or because they had "legacy" TVs out there that couldn't handle the DRM that would eventually come. | Jul 03 16:54 |

| DaemonFC | But then they set off the trap and now you can't use component video with Blu Ray. There wouldn't be a point. Even if your TV has that, it artificially degrades it down to SD anyway. | Jul 03 16:54 |
| schestowitz | that's also a national agenda | Jul 03 16:54 |
| schestowitz | when nations are controlled by corporations | Jul 03 16:55 |
| schestowitz | but if billions of people push back, their plans are curtailed | Jul 03 16:55 |
| schestowitz | right now they want to mandate "smart" meters on every home | Jul 03 16:55 |
| schestowitz | and they made up some "deadlines" | Jul 03 16:55 |
| schestowitz | of course you can push back | Jul 03 16:55 |
| schestowitz | like people do with "self service" checkouts | Jul 03 16:55 |
| DaemonFC | Yes, Communist Edison charges more if you don't have smart meters. | Jul 03 16:55 |
| DaemonFC | My landlord owns the building and put the smart meters in to get checks from the electric company. | Jul 03 16:55 |
| DaemonFC | Even though I have to pay the electric here and they get to spy on us now | Jul 03 16:56 |
| schestowitz | we pay more for rejecting them, yes | Jul 03 16:56 |
| schestowitz | I get the 'fines' will increase each year | Jul 03 16:56 |
| schestowitz | until I dump this provider | Jul 03 16:56 |
| DaemonFC | Well, you have electric choice in Illinois. In fact, it's just a scam. | Jul 03 16:56 |
| schestowitz | the spying will increase with each version (more sensors) | Jul 03 16:56 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC: same provider | Jul 03 16:56 |
| DaemonFC | You get to choose the supplier, but Communist Edison gets the delivery monopoly and still sends you the bill. | Jul 03 16:56 |
| schestowitz | different brand | Jul 03 16:56 |
| DaemonFC | So your bill is from ComEd and your supplier is listed on the bill. | Jul 03 16:57 |
| schestowitz | yes, you get to choose a logo on your bill | Jul 03 16:57 |
| schestowitz | they call it energy reselling | Jul 03 16:57 |
| schestowitz | they use the word selling, like it's water or something | Jul 03 16:57 |
| DaemonFC | But supply is only about 40-50% of the bill and most providers can't or won't go lower than ComEd, except for bait and switch rates that last 3 months into a two year contract or something. | Jul 03 16:57 |
| schestowitz | even water should not be sold | Jul 03 16:57 |
| schestowitz | treated and redistributed | Jul 03 16:57 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz, What happens is those energy companies pay people commissions to get you to sign up, but they don't hire those people directly. | Jul 03 16:58 |
| DaemonFC | So they go out and shove their foot in your door and try to get you to switch or hand them one of your bills so they can steal your account number, forge your signature, and then you have a "new electric company" all of a sudden and they made off with money. | Jul 03 16:58 |
| DaemonFC | Your money. | Jul 03 16:58 |
| DaemonFC | Things have gotten so bad that ComEd is running ads telling you to slam the door or hang up on people who want to see your ComEd bill because it's a scam. | Jul 03 16:59 |
| DaemonFC | Why would you open the door in the first place. | Jul 03 17:00 |
| DaemonFC | Me in South Chicago: *knock knock* So I go to look through the peep hole and it's two random black guys I don't know. So through the door I go "Who is it!?" and they want to see my ComEd bill. | Jul 03 17:01 |

| DaemonFC | MinceR, ^ | Jul 03 17:17 |
| immibis | there are like so many ways to address this other than screaming "abolish the government" | Jul 03 17:18 |
| immibis | 1. vote for a better damn government. 2. get alternative electricity service. 3. go protest (worked for BLM, right?) | Jul 03 17:18 |
| DaemonFC | Oh, I don't think we should abolish the government and leave it at that. | Jul 03 17:18 |
| DaemonFC | Most of them should be hanged as well. | Jul 03 17:18 |
| immibis | and it's certainly not communist. Every corporation *wishes* to have that kind of government-preferred status and they will bribe the government to do so | Jul 03 17:18 |
| DaemonFC | Why do you think I stay in my house most of the time? | Jul 03 17:19 |
| DaemonFC | It's the closest you can be to free of the government. You go outside and it's much easier to accuse you of having violated one of any number of laws. | Jul 03 17:19 |
| DaemonFC | Should be kept to a minimum. | Jul 03 17:20 |
| immibis | if that's the case then you are mentally ill - sorry to be blunt. You should seek help for that agoraphobia so you can address it and live more normally. | Jul 03 17:20 |

| DaemonFC | No, COVID is still a problem in countries that reacted even more ridiculously. | Jul 03 17:23 |
| DaemonFC | A bigger problem, in fact. | Jul 03 17:23 |
| immibis | like australia and new zealand? | Jul 03 17:23 |
| DaemonFC | Because they have government healthcare and vaccines that barely work. | Jul 03 17:24 |
| DaemonFC | Ask Roy. | Jul 03 17:24 |
| DaemonFC | Canada is in worse shape. | Jul 03 17:24 |
| immibis | canada failed the vaccine game and they failed to close their borders and they failed to get people to achieve the goal. Next! | Jul 03 17:24 |
| DaemonFC | Canada has socialized medicine and they wanteed to play I'm not gonna pay a lot for this muffler with the vaccines. | Jul 03 17:24 |
| DaemonFC | And so the left completely fucked their country up. | Jul 03 17:25 |
| DaemonFC | The US healthcare system is pretty messed up. In fact, the government plans are the worst you know. | Jul 03 17:26 |

| DaemonFC | If you want an established patient visit with your doctor on Medicare, you mightt actually have to wait 3 months to get in. | Jul 03 17:26 |
| DaemonFC | If you have a private plan, probably next week at the latest. | Jul 03 17:26 |
| immibis | the US right managed to take a leftist plan that's worked everywhere else and pervert it with right-wing elements that caused it to fail | Jul 03 17:27 |
| DaemonFC | The Democrats always blame the Joe Manchins, but at the time they passed the Unaffordable Care Act to give everyone $8,000 deductibles, they had 60 Democrats in the Senate. | Jul 03 17:27 |

| immibis | so i don't know why you keep blaming the left | Jul 03 17:28 |
| immibis | they're just lefter than the other right wing | Jul 03 17:28 |
| MinceR | 03 181818 < immibis> 1. vote for a better damn government. 2. get alternative electricity service. 3. go protest (worked for BLM, right?) | Jul 03 17:29 |
| MinceR | 1. in most places, no such options are available | Jul 03 17:29 |
| MinceR | hell, in many places, people don't even get free elections | Jul 03 17:29 |
| immibis | at the high levels of government there are no better options. But at the low levels, there are PLENTY of better options. | Jul 03 17:29 |
| immibis | and if people vote for those options, they will filter up | Jul 03 17:29 |
| MinceR | 2. how will you build one if there's none? | Jul 03 17:29 |
| MinceR | 3. maybe it would work, if the masses weren't clueless | Jul 03 17:30 |
| MinceR | (too clueless to make democracy function) | Jul 03 17:30 |
| immibis | put solar panels on your roof. put a wind turbine in your back yard. get a diesel generator. get a bunch of wiring and wire up your neighbours too. you are now an electric company. | Jul 03 17:30 |
| MinceR | immibis: what do you mean by "low levels"? local government? | Jul 03 17:30 |
| immibis | MinceR: if they can manage to protest BLM they can manage to protest electricity prices | Jul 03 17:30 |
| MinceR | what if i can't afford to build energy storage? | Jul 03 17:30 |

| immibis | in capitalism anyone can do anything, or so they tell me | Jul 03 17:31 |
| MinceR | they're wrong | Jul 03 17:31 |
| DaemonFC | BLM mostly achieved bans on Critical Race Theory and laws allowing people to run over rioters and claim self-defense. | Jul 03 17:31 |
| DaemonFC | Whoops. | Jul 03 17:31 |
| DaemonFC | If someone's attacking my car, guess what happens. | Jul 03 17:32 |
| DaemonFC | I hit the gas. | Jul 03 17:32 |
| DaemonFC | It's totally reasonable. People should use jury nullification to let people who were defending themselves go. | Jul 03 17:32 |
| immibis | hmm. what if someone's attacking my person, can I shoot them? | Jul 03 17:32 |
| MinceR | that's what self-defense is, isn't it? | Jul 03 17:33 |
| immibis | if so, DaemonFC is giving permission for those people to legally shoot him | Jul 03 17:33 |
| immibis | and i bet if they shoot him he'll blame it on the communist government (despite america being the most capitalist country in existence) | Jul 03 17:33 |
| DaemonFC | If they're black and we're in Illinois, they'll probably either never be found or threaten to burn down the country if the perp doesn't walk. | Jul 03 17:35 |
| DaemonFC | So it won't matter much I guess. | Jul 03 17:35 |
| DaemonFC | First, you have to get the cops to give a shit and do their job. (LOL) | Jul 03 17:35 |
| immibis | only two things ever come out of DaemonFC's mouth: 1. "X is communist and therefore bad!" and 2. "Black people are bad because X!" | Jul 03 17:35 |
| DaemonFC | Then you have to get past the liberal namby-pamby prosecutors who don't prosecute black people. | Jul 03 17:35 |
| MinceR | self-defense doesn't apply to the first offender | Jul 03 17:36 |
| DaemonFC | Then you have to get a jury that's going to have black people on it to convict. | Jul 03 17:36 |
| DaemonFC | The jury system is biased against white defendants. | Jul 03 17:37 |
| DaemonFC | White jurors hold white people accountable, but that's largely not true with black jurors who see a black defendant. | Jul 03 17:37 |
| DaemonFC | So it's basically a modern take on the "all white jury" complaints from 100 years ago. | Jul 03 17:37 |
| DaemonFC | Somehow that was very wrong, but this is not. | Jul 03 17:38 |
| immibis | MinceR: so if I steal your ballpoint pen, and you run me over with your car in response, I don't get to shoot you to defend myself from that? | Jul 03 17:38 |
| DaemonFC | This morning, the news in Chicago reported on a man who walked up and shot his neighbor over a noisy stereo after having previously wwarned him a few times. | Jul 03 17:39 |
| DaemonFC | I wrote this reply: "Everyone's had a neighbor with a loud stereo who wouldn't turn it down to a reasonable volume or responded to a polite request to turn it down a little by cranking it up. | Jul 03 17:40 |
| DaemonFC | When you turn the neighbor's apartment into a torture rack from Guantánamo Bay, you should really consider who you're pissing off. Especially in the south side of Lori's gun-free mostly peaceful Democrat city. | Jul 03 17:40 |
| DaemonFC | The cops may have arrested the shooter, but he probably got a standing ovation from anyone with a job who lived in the building on the way out." | Jul 03 17:40 |
| immibis | DaemonFC: So you agreed with the shooter in this case? | Jul 03 17:41 |
| DaemonFC | It's just a fact that more people than not would have been glad this guy got shot if they had to go to work this morning and this guy was making it impossible for them to sleep. | Jul 03 17:42 |
| immibis | DaemonFC: You don't think the neighbour should have shot the would-be shooter for trespassing? | Jul 03 17:42 |
| DaemonFC | Yeah, if I had been _a_ neighbor I would have been glad the guy was dead. | Jul 03 17:42 |
| DaemonFC | I wouldn't have shot him, but I'd be glad that he wasn't an issue anymore. | Jul 03 17:43 |
| DaemonFC | Plus, bonus, the police got rid of the shooter, which is probably in a gang and no way did he have the gun legally. | Jul 03 17:43 |
| DaemonFC | So it's a twofer. | Jul 03 17:43 |
| immibis | DaemonFC: sounds like you would sympathize with BLM | Jul 03 17:44 |
| DaemonFC | Does anyone really care HOW the guy with the loud stereo was dealt with as long as he's not keeping you up unttil 4 AM on a work night? | Jul 03 17:44 |
| immibis | except you wouldn't because they're black and you're racist | Jul 03 17:44 |
| DaemonFC | I mean really? | Jul 03 17:44 |
| DaemonFC | MinceR? | Jul 03 17:45 |
| DaemonFC | Your take? | Jul 03 17:45 |
| immibis | DaemonFC: you are proposing the death penalty as a consequence of loud music. Can I assume that you would never propose that penalty for a white person? | Jul 03 17:45 |
| DaemonFC | Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. He was asked politely twice before he got shot. | Jul 03 17:45 |
| immibis | for example, if you played loud music, and then got shot and went to the afterlife, would ghostly you be thinking the shooter was in the right? | Jul 03 17:45 |
| DaemonFC | It's not like oops I was watching a movie a little loud and the guy just shot me. | Jul 03 17:45 |
| immibis | What if a black person asked you politely twice to stop using racial slurs, then shot you the third time? | Jul 03 17:46 |
| DaemonFC | If he had responded by lowering the volume and said "I'm so sorry. I didn't know I was bothering you. I will turn it down.", he wouldn't have been ventilated. | Jul 03 17:46 |
| DaemonFC | He was warned. | Jul 03 17:46 |
| immibis | DaemonFC: what do you think about vigilante justice in general, especially severe penalties for relatively minor crimes? | Jul 03 17:47 |
| immibis | do you think the death penalty is an appropriate consequence for using the N word? | Jul 03 17:47 |
| DaemonFC | Well, you know, I think there's definitely a case for that. | Jul 03 17:47 |
| DaemonFC | It came up in the movie Judge Dredd. They couldn't get the crime under control and Jürgen Prochnowsuggested the death sentence for lesser crimes. | Jul 03 17:48 |
| immibis | And do you think that is something that should happen? | Jul 03 17:48 |
| DaemonFC | I personally wouldn't be bothered at all if they doled out the death sentence for many more felonies. | Jul 03 17:48 |
| immibis | If you think it's appropriate to shoot people in the face for driving 1kmph over the speed limit, then no wonder you're too afraid of the government to leave your house. | Jul 03 17:48 |
| immibis | Luckily for you, the government isn't actually as bad as your right-wing brainwashing sources have been telling you | Jul 03 17:49 |
| DaemonFC | You would only have to worry about them hanging you if you had a trove of child porn or went around raping and mugging people. | Jul 03 17:49 |
| DaemonFC | So what do we lose, really, under my system? | Jul 03 17:49 |
| immibis | DaemonFC: liberty | Jul 03 17:49 |
| DaemonFC | You take out the trash and people can go for a walk at night in Chicago. | Jul 03 17:49 |
| DaemonFC | "QUIT BREAKING THE LAW, ASSHOLE!!!" Jim Carey, Liar Liar | Jul 03 17:50 |
| immibis | <DaemonFC> It's the closest you can be to free of the government. You go outside and it's much easier to accuse you of having violated one of any number of laws. | Jul 03 17:51 |
| immibis | DaemonFC: you think that all of those minor laws that you can accidentally violate by going outside, should have the death penalty? | Jul 03 17:51 |
| immibis | DaemonFC: You could not go for a walk at night in Chicago. Or in the day. You'd accidentally break some minor law and get shot by the police. | Jul 03 17:51 |
| immibis | public execution | Jul 03 17:51 |
| DaemonFC | We don't execute people for misdemeanors. | Jul 03 17:52 |
| DaemonFC | Hell, we usually don't even send them to county jail if it's their first or even fifth one. | Jul 03 17:52 |
| DaemonFC | It's usually a fine and a little probation. | Jul 03 17:52 |
| DaemonFC | Go clean up the park. | Jul 03 17:52 |
| immibis | DaemonFC: but you're saying we should execute people for misdemeanors | Jul 03 17:52 |
| immibis | playing loud music is a misdemeanor | Jul 03 17:52 |
| DaemonFC | It's actually not even that. | Jul 03 17:53 |
| DaemonFC | It's a petty offense. | Jul 03 17:53 |
| DaemonFC | In Illinois, there's a step lower than misdemeanor. | Jul 03 17:53 |
| immibis | DaemonFC: so you think we should execute people for petty offenses, then | Jul 03 17:53 |

| DaemonFC | Well, 1. It's impossible to get the police to do anything about a loud asshole with a stereo. | Jul 03 17:54 |

| DaemonFC | 2. If they actually did come out and fine them $1,000 for the loud stereo, I wouldn't be trying to defend this guy becoming exasperated from lack of sleep and shooting the dude upstairs. | Jul 03 17:55 |

| DaemonFC | But 3. It's Illinois, so even if the police did come out over a noise complaint, and did fine the asshole $1,000 for loud stereo, he'd just stiff them anyway because he's black and the BLM Caucus passed a bill that makes it damned near impossibble to enforce fines levvied on black people. | Jul 03 17:56 |
| immibis | aha! I knew the victim was black because you would never ever ever defend such a shooting towards a white person | Jul 03 17:57 |

| immibis | DaemonFC: Do you think I should be criminally liable if I spread COVID to you which causes you to die? | Jul 03 17:57 |
| DaemonFC | So the only leverage that they have is against white people who know if they don't pay their fines they'll be cast down into the slums. | Jul 03 17:58 |
| DaemonFC | The folks who run around stiffing landlords, not paying their child support.... | Jul 03 17:58 |
| immibis | DaemonFC: Do you think I should be criminally liable if I spread COVID to you which causes you to die? | Jul 03 17:58 |
| DaemonFC | Having another fine is like one more cobweb in the haunted house. | Jul 03 17:59 |
| immibis | DaemonFC: Do you think I should be criminally liable if I spread COVID to you which causes you to die? | Jul 03 17:59 |
| DaemonFC | No, because that's like the felony HIV transmission laws that they tried to pass. | Jul 03 17:59 |
| DaemonFC | They didn't want to punish people for HIV transmission because it had a state purpose. | Jul 03 18:00 |
| immibis | DaemonFC: Do you think I should be criminally liable if I spread a mild cold to you which causes you to not sleep that night? | Jul 03 18:00 |
| DaemonFC | They wanted to criminalize and stigmatize having HIV further than it already was. | Jul 03 18:00 |
| immibis | DaemonFC: Do you think I should be criminally liable if I spread a mild cold to you which causes you to not sleep that night? | Jul 03 18:00 |
| DaemonFC | Well, as with most laws, it's a crime if you intend to do something wrong. | Jul 03 18:00 |
| immibis | so you think I should be criminally liable if I spread COVID to you which causes you to die? | Jul 03 18:01 |
| DaemonFC | Most laws make knowingly harming someone else the root element or at least an aggravating factor. | Jul 03 18:01 |
| immibis | so you think I should be criminally liable if I spread COVID to you which causes you to die and I knew I had COVID and I knew I was in your proximity? | Jul 03 18:01 |
| DaemonFC | Proving what you knew is almost impossible. | Jul 03 18:01 |
| DaemonFC | See, most felony HIV transmission laws said you had to knowingly spread it. | Jul 03 18:02 |

| immibis | DaemonFC: so you don't think I should be criminally liable if I spread a mild cold to you which causes you to not sleep that night? | Jul 03 18:02 |
| DaemonFC | So a lot of people either didn't know they had it or didn't have to turn over their test results, either because of HIPAA or state laws, or because they took the test at home. | Jul 03 18:02 |
| DaemonFC | If a law requires you to know something in order to be guilty, then you can avoid being guilty by avoiding the knowledge itself. | Jul 03 18:03 |
| DaemonFC | Or at least plausibly claiming that you were ignorant. | Jul 03 18:03 |
| DaemonFC | It makes it much harder to prove the case. | Jul 03 18:03 |
| immibis | so how can you prove that man who got shot for loud music intended to do something wrong? | Jul 03 18:04 |
| immibis | it's because he's black, isn't it? | Jul 03 18:04 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz would probably like where this is going as far as patents. | Jul 03 18:04 |
| DaemonFC | Many companies that get sued for patent infringement either don't research patents or claim that they didn't. | Jul 03 18:04 |
| DaemonFC | Knowingly violating a patent leads to higher damages if you get sued. | Jul 03 18:05 |
| immibis | so how can you prove that man who got shot for loud music intended to do something wrong? | Jul 03 18:05 |
| immibis | and if you can't prove that, why do you think he's criminally liable? | Jul 03 18:05 |
| DaemonFC | It probably wasn't just the stereo at that point. | Jul 03 18:05 |
| immibis | oh? are we going to make up other crimes that he did, with no evidence whatsoever? | Jul 03 18:06 |
| DaemonFC | The third time the guy came up there, the guy with the stereo probably told him to go fuck himself, and that was where it boild over. | Jul 03 18:06 |
| immibis | he's black therefore he was probably a criminal? | Jul 03 18:06 |
| immibis | DaemonFC: you are pulling crimes out of your ass where there are none. Do you see the racism here? | Jul 03 18:08 |
| immibis | isn't it convenient that you avoid such questions? | Jul 03 18:09 |

| DaemonFC | schestowitz, Insurance companiees have a pretty good rub even if you do carry full insurance. | Jul 03 19:17 |
| DaemonFC | They leave you with a deductible that would cost you more in premiums while also not covering a fender bender, leaving you to pay out of pocket anyway. | Jul 03 19:17 |
| DaemonFC | Most people get a $500-1000 deductible and then they run into someone's piece of shit and it does $700 worth of damage to their car. So they basically get nothing or close to nothing from tthe insurance people. Then sometimes not only do they not pay anything out, but they say "You made a claim, so your rates go up again even though we didn't pay for anything.". | Jul 03 19:18 |
| DaemonFC | Running a car insurance company is basically pure profit other than the folks who push papers there. | Jul 03 19:19 |
| DaemonFC | If you actually use it, they jack up your rates to where you pay more in _extra_ premiums than the accident cost them to cover. | Jul 03 19:20 |

| DaemonFC | Oh yay. Oklahoma. Let me pack. | Jul 03 19:23 |

| DaemonFC | Come on Mandy. We're going where they don't have healthcare! | Jul 03 19:23 |
| Ariadne | ...? | Jul 03 19:24 |
| Ariadne | oklahoma has very good healthcare, actually. | Jul 03 19:24 |
| DaemonFC | It was a joke. | Jul 03 19:24 |
| Ariadne | a friend of mine got metastatic breast cancer and her entire out of pocket cost was $35 | Jul 03 19:24 |
| DaemonFC | It's kind of a backwater, and the state government has sabotaged the ACA to where you pay taxes but many people geet nothing for it. | Jul 03 19:24 |
| Ariadne | are you describing illinois ? :) | Jul 03 19:25 |
| DaemonFC | Like, everyone has to pay federal taxes, but some states refuse Medicaid expansion even though the feds pay almost all of it. | Jul 03 19:25 |
| DaemonFC | Because hurting 2 million Texans really shows us! | Jul 03 19:25 |
| DaemonFC | Putting more Texas hospitals on the verge of collapse and causing them to shift uncompensated care to other people really hurts Illinois! | Jul 03 19:26 |
| DaemonFC | Oh do anything, just don't throw us in that briar patch! | Jul 03 19:26 |
| DaemonFC | <Ariadne> are you describing illinois ? :) | Jul 03 19:27 |
| DaemonFC | I wouldn't say that red states have good government and that's the reason crime is low. | Jul 03 19:27 |
| DaemonFC | They just don't tend to attract a lot of minorities because they don't do big welfare programs. | Jul 03 19:27 |
| DaemonFC | And because they turned off the magnet, the crime never heads there because they would be expected to get _some_ kind of an income that didn't involve free rent and unreported income from slinging dope while the cops don't come out of the police station. | Jul 03 19:28 |
| DaemonFC | The mooch crowd heads to blue states because of cradle to grave welfare and lots of social workers and stuff that make it easy to sort of linger there. | Jul 03 19:29 |
| DaemonFC | Then they start in with their many many misdemeanors, and some felonies. | Jul 03 19:29 |
| DaemonFC | I live in a pretty bad area because it scares the shit out of other white people. | Jul 03 19:30 |
| DaemonFC | Cuts the rent in half. | Jul 03 19:30 |
| Ariadne | i see | Jul 03 19:30 |
| Ariadne | well, this is a fascinating worldview | Jul 03 19:30 |
| DaemonFC | You move to an area that's far away from them, the rent goes up another $700 for the same sized apartment. | Jul 03 19:30 |
| DaemonFC | White people bore easily, I guess, because they totally ignore all of the rehabbed old buildings that are actually pretty cool and move into ticky tacky that costs them an arm and a leg. | Jul 03 19:31 |
| DaemonFC | mjg59 probably lives in one of those, with his edison bulbs and Alexas. | Jul 03 19:32 |

| Librarian | immibis, do you happen to know where the phrase originated, in which evil socialist totalitarians attempted to brainwash people, through a concerted propaganda campaign and formalized attempts to rewrite dictionaries, to believe that "freedom is slavery?"

| DaemonFC | Some Facebook ad said owning a home in Chicago is cheaper than renting. | Jul 03 21:18 |
| DaemonFC | I said because the long term is that everyone knows Illinois is going to go down big time, from the credit rating firms to the people who live here. | Jul 03 21:19 |
| DaemonFC | So the opportunity cost is higher to own a home because you'll have a harder time fleeing the state when that happens. | Jul 03 21:19 |
| DaemonFC | Therefore, paying more rent is the cost of being able to bolt before the state goes under entirely. | Jul 03 21:19 |

| DaemonFC | schestowitz, The simple answer is he just sold Red Hat for several times what it was worth and left IBM the moment he was vested. | Jul 03 23:03 |

| DaemonFC | schestowitz, I would like to mention the following to RMS. | Jul 03 23:10 |
| techrights-news | "The #IBM execs are stealing money from the company… where do you think it is going? Revenues, profits, cash flow are down quarter after quarter… sure IBM is still making money, how is that going to last when the Execs are in this only for their own pockets?" https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1bEr3tOz | Jul 03 23:10 |
| DaemonFC | Instead of treating workers like humans, the fast food industry just left the lobbies closed so you can't go in and you have to have a car to go eat there for some reason. | Jul 03 23:10 |
| DaemonFC | This makes it more of a hassle for me because I don't feel like waiting in a line looping around the building with my engine running for 30 minutes waiting to get "fast" food, which has also nearly doubled in price. | Jul 03 23:10 |
| DaemonFC | Gas is almost $4 per gallon now, and idling wastes about a gallon per hour, per car. | Jul 03 23:10 |
| DaemonFC | So they're giving a big fuck you to the environment over at those places as well. | Jul 03 23:10 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.thelayoff.com | Same old song and dance - post regarding IBM layoffs | Jul 03 23:10 | |
| DaemonFC | While they're talking about gas stations that are running dry, America wastes millions of gallons per day waiting in line for a hamburger. | Jul 03 23:10 |
| schestowitz | [23:03] <DaemonFC> Allowhurst knows IBM is dead meat and he had no intention of going down with the ship. | Jul 03 23:10 |
| schestowitz | yes | Jul 03 23:10 |
| DaemonFC | Most reasons to consume gasoline in your car are total horseshit anyway in this country. | Jul 03 23:11 |
| DaemonFC | Other than to work and back or a picnic, what else is there? | Jul 03 23:11 |
| schestowitz | not much | Jul 03 23:11 |
| DaemonFC | You can download movies and books. You can order things online. | Jul 03 23:11 |
| schestowitz | even less now | Jul 03 23:11 |
| schestowitz | because of coronavirus | Jul 03 23:11 |
| schestowitz | 25k new cases in uk today | Jul 03 23:12 |
| techrights-news | "But IBM has been on a downward slope for last 10 years. They completely missed the cloud business, and the train has left. They also did not invest properly in the Mainframe platform and kept or increased the cost for our clients. They are now leaving as fast as they can." https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1bEr3tOz | Jul 03 23:12 |
| DaemonFC | schestowitz, I wish I was more confident of how court would go. The police didn't see anything and didn't arrive for 30 minutes, and when they did, they wrote me a ticket based on what a 300 pound convict and his brother told them. | Jul 03 23:13 |
| DaemonFC | Now I have to pay to fix this stupid car. | Jul 03 23:13 |
| techrights-news | #ibm : we think we can upscale #redhat tenfold (~10 times more staff) by just killing #centos and attacking the #fsf ... guess what happened next :-) | Jul 03 23:14 |
| schestowitz | DaemonFC: enjoy your car | Jul 03 23:14 |
| schestowitz | I told you they're a liability and risk | Jul 03 23:14 |
| schestowitz | taxi is cheaper | Jul 03 23:14 |
| schestowitz | and no court | Jul 03 23:14 |
| schestowitz | except for the taxi driver | Jul 03 23:15 |
| schestowitz | they can usually get away with it anyway | Jul 03 23:15 |
| schestowitz | and likely insured by their employer | Jul 03 23:15 |

| Librarian | immibis, do you happen to know where the phrase originated, in which evil socialist totalitarians attempted to brainwash people, through a concerted propaganda campaign and formalized attempts to rewrite dictionaries, to believe that "freedom is slavery?" Do you know the dystopian fiction literature in which that phrase, exactly as written, was popularized? | Jul 03 23:37 |
