| Isambard_Prince | Agreed and I think it's amusing that people are carrying more and more balance with Amex since their rates are abysmal. How long can the credit bubble last? | Jan 04 04:25 |
| Isambard_Prince | Jan 04 04:25 | |
| 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. Months later they're FINALLY out of money and ready to go. | Jan 04 04:25 |
| Isambard_Prince | Jan 04 04:25 | |
| Isambard_Prince | Lesson: if a single individual can kick the can down the road for months and even years, imagine how long an entire society can do it. Governments can do it for decades, sometimes centuries. | Jan 04 04:25 |

| Isambard_Prince | They take about 70% of the ticket money. Then someone wins the jackpot. The person almost always wants a large sum up front, so the government halves it again because you only get the full thing if you structure it over 20 or 30 years, then once they get the half of the jackpot, the government takes half of that and calls it tax. | Jan 04 05:31 |
| Isambard_Prince | Then the person blows through it all somehow and dies of alcohol poisoning in a trailer park 8 years later living on Social Security checks. | Jan 04 05:31 |

| Isambard_Prince | schestowitz[TR2], But that is true, that most people try to forestall bankruptcy as long as possible. | Jan 04 06:12 |
| Isambard_Prince | It just doesn't make a lot of sense. | Jan 04 06:12 |
| 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 | Jan 04 06:14 |
| Isambard_Prince | more delinquent. | Jan 04 06:14 |
| 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. | Jan 04 06:16 |
| 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.) | Jan 04 06:18 |
| 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 | Jan 04 06:20 |
| Isambard_Prince | a concealed asset (like stored value cards, or expensive jewelry or someething) then failed to declare them. | Jan 04 06:20 |
| 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!" | Jan 04 06:21 |
| 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. | Jan 04 06:22 |
| 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. | Jan 04 06:24 |
| Isambard_Prince | Bankruptcy law is pretty complex. But it's not unknowable. | Jan 04 06:25 |
| 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. | Jan 04 06:25 |
| Isambard_Prince | No assets means subject to whatever exemptions you can use in your state. | Jan 04 06:25 |
| 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. | Jan 04 06:26 |
| Isambard_Prince | They'll usually convert these to a Chapter 13 Restructuring Plan instead of throwing it out or sanctioning you though. | Jan 04 06:26 |
| Isambard_Prince | It makes no sense to delay filing bankruptcy, assuming you qualify, you need it, and there's no fraud or "abuse" involved. | Jan 04 06:29 |
| Isambard_Prince | You only end up hurting yourself more. | Jan 04 06:29 |
| Isambard_Prince | But most people delay. | Jan 04 06:29 |
| Isambard_Prince | If you have a house payment, it makes even more sense to file as soon as you can. | Jan 04 06:31 |
| Isambard_Prince | Every payment builds more equity in the house. So you might end up not being able to protect the house. | Jan 04 06:31 |

| Isambard_Prince | schestowitz[TR2], My mom is going to see the "Ark Encounter" the one from Ken Ham. I told her "If Noah had the US Army Corps of Engineers and an unlimited supply of wood, he couldn't have built the thing even with over 120 years.

| schestowitz[TR2] | to overcome the notion of taxonomy | Jan 04 18:20 |
| Isambard_Prince | State incest laws exist because the idea of incestuous offspring is so off putting, and it's off putting because even if it lives it will be horribly deformed. | Jan 04 18:21 |
| Isambard_Prince | Now we can argue that's a state purpose and that incest should be legal if offspring are impossible from the pairing. | Jan 04 18:22 |
| Isambard_Prince | But nobody wants to see crippled deformed children. | Jan 04 18:22 |
| Isambard_Prince | So that sort of incest should be a felony. | Jan 04 18:22 |
| Isambard_Prince | But here's Ken Ham saying that everything on Earth today started from incest, multiple times! | Jan 04 18:22 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-news.tuxmachines.org | Tux Machines — GNU/Linux Rises to 5% "Market Share" in Afghanistan | Jan 04 18:22 | |
| 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. | Jan 04 18:23 |
| 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. | Jan 04 18:24 |
| Isambard_Prince | Even with billions of people on Earth, you can get unlucky and end up with parents who are totally unrelated and give you two copies of a bad gene that causes birth defects, cancer, diabetes, sickle cell anemia. You can still get very unlucky even when the parents are unrelated. | Jan 04 18:25 |
| Isambard_Prince | Tay-Sachs Disease. | Jan 04 18:26 |
| 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. | Jan 04 18:29 |
| Isambard_Prince | But in some cases, it's a "victimless crime". | Jan 04 18:29 |
| Isambard_Prince | Where there's no possibility of offspring, the state should use its discretion to prosecute something else instead. | Jan 04 18:30 |
| Isambard_Prince | But the bible putting incest in there as if it's fine, is another reason to WTF the bible. | Jan 04 18:31 |
| Isambard_Prince | Each criminal prosecution costs the state anywhere between hundreds (traffic shit), tens of thousands (misdemeanors), and millions (felonies). | Jan 04 18:34 |
| Isambard_Prince | So the state says it has all these money problems, and brings bullshit prosecutions against many people. | Jan 04 18:35 |

| techrights-news | "To implement a cache I need to resolve some (very few) of these to addresses in storage. Most of the time it will be very recent indices, but in some rare cases it will be old, low indices. So I have a classic sparse array." gemini://spell.mywire.org:1960/~stack/0253.gmi | Jan 04 19:52 |

| Isambard_Prince | MinceR, schestowitz[TR2] I caught Burger King doing something funny. | Jan 04 20:07 |
| Isambard_Prince | The Delivery Fee is $2.99 and the Service Fee is $2.99. | Jan 04 20:08 |
| Isambard_Prince | If you order more than $25, they say $0 Delivery Fee. | Jan 04 20:08 |
| Isambard_Prince | Then once you do that, the Service Fee goes up to $3.80. | Jan 04 20:08 |
| MinceR | lol | Jan 04 20:08 |
| Isambard_Prince | I've caught other companies doing worse though. | Jan 04 20:08 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | still cheaper | Jan 04 20:08 |
| Isambard_Prince | Like one time they said use this coupon to get 15% off. | Jan 04 20:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 24$ + 6 | Jan 04 20:09 |
| Isambard_Prince | So I did, and the total was still basically the same. | Jan 04 20:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | 25$+4 | Jan 04 20:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you save a dollar by pdering a little more | Jan 04 20:09 |
| Isambard_Prince | So they moved the 15% over to the Shipping and made the Shipping more expensive by the same amount as the 15% off coupon. | Jan 04 20:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | *ordering | Jan 04 20:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | who would ask for food delivery of such junk food? | Jan 04 20:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | fries and coke?> | Jan 04 20:10 |
| Isambard_Prince | schestowitz[TR2], Corsair is cancelling orders for PC RAM because they raised the price after people ordered but before it shipped. | Jan 04 20:10 |
| Isambard_Prince | People on Reddit are pretty pissed. | Jan 04 20:10 |
| 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. | Jan 04 20:10 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | consumer protection says it is illegal; | Jan 04 20:11 |
| Isambard_Prince | You know, I don't even know who is building a computer anymore with prices like this. | Jan 04 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | maybe not in US | Jan 04 20:11 |
| Isambard_Prince | Trump gutted the federal consumer protection. | Jan 04 20:11 |
| Isambard_Prince | If I had an order like that get canceled I would sue them in state court though. | Jan 04 20:11 |
| Isambard_Prince | It worked when it was Lenovo. | Jan 04 20:11 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | he consumes countries to consume their oil | Jan 04 20:11 |
| Isambard_Prince | When I filed my Complaint against Lenovo, things started going on behind the scenes there, at Microsoft, and Intel. | Jan 04 20:12 |
| Isambard_Prince | And suddenly there was driver code, a new BIOS, and their Windows Sticker Agreement changed. | Jan 04 20:12 |
| Isambard_Prince | Funny, right? | Jan 04 20:12 |
| Isambard_Prince | They make deals that are not actually legal all the time. | Jan 04 20:13 |
| Isambard_Prince | Behiind closed doors. | Jan 04 20:13 |
| Isambard_Prince | Where the customer isn't supposed to be able to prove it. | Jan 04 20:13 |
| Isambard_Prince | This is a pattern of behavior at Microsoft that has spilled out into public many times going back almost to the beginning of the company. | Jan 04 20:13 |
| Isambard_Prince | In the 90s it was really bad. | Jan 04 20:14 |
| Isambard_Prince | And I would say we're getting there again. | Jan 04 20:14 |
| Isambard_Prince | They behaved themselves somewhat after the Consent Decree expired. | Jan 04 20:14 |
| Isambard_Prince | But they're going back to where things were when Gates perjured himself over the Internet Explorer integration into Windows 98. | Jan 04 20:15 |
| Isambard_Prince | The truth was that IE was never THAT integrated into Windows 98. | Jan 04 20:15 |
| Isambard_Prince | With little more than the same uninstaller routines that would remove it from Windows 95, it would be gone from Windows 98 too. | Jan 04 20:15 |
| Isambard_Prince | They just didn't include the uninstaller routines and the non-IE shell files. | Jan 04 20:16 |
| Isambard_Prince | It was integrated to a cosmetic level, with extremely buggy shell code that did things that almost nobody was using, but made the computer crash. | Jan 04 20:16 |
| MinceR | too bad the vestiges of rule of law are gone | Jan 04 20:18 |

| Isambard_Prince | If they use smart glasses to scan faces in Illinois you can sue the company that made the glasses for BIPA violations. | Jan 04 21:17 |
| Isambard_Prince | That'll be another one of those nearly $1 billion dollar settlements. | Jan 04 21:18 |
