IsambardPrinceMinceR: Leeloo is having a bad case of Feline Herpes outbreak.Aug 07 00:53
IsambardPrinceI just started her on Famvir again.Aug 07 00:53
IsambardPrinceThis is the worst one I've seen.Aug 07 00:53

IsambardPrinceWe have something in common. We both have to take herpes medication. I know some people think it's embarrassing.Aug 07 00:54
MinceRgood luck to herAug 07 00:54
IsambardPrinceBut it's a very common condition.Aug 07 00:54
IsambardPrinceI have type 1, it's the one that causes cold sores on the lips.Aug 07 00:54
*includeals has quit (Quit: ZNC - https://znc.in)Aug 07 00:55
MinceRgive her a slow blink for meAug 07 00:55
IsambardPrinceIt's been getting worse with age so now I just take the medicine every day.Aug 07 00:55
IsambardPrinceI'm pretty sure I know where I got it.Aug 07 00:55
IsambardPrinceThere was a guy named Wesley back in 2004.Aug 07 00:55
*includeals (~includeal@2001:8a0:e95a:4e00::1c47) has joined #techrightsAug 07 00:55
IsambardPrinceSo I've had it for over 20 years now. It's basically a nuisance.Aug 07 00:56
IsambardPrinceOne that responds well to medicine.Aug 07 00:56
IsambardPrinceThe vets don't take FHV seriously enough.Aug 07 00:56
IsambardPrinceThe cat will act like it has a bad cold and cough and sneeze, its eyes will discharge mucus.Aug 07 00:57
IsambardPrinceIt will look clear at first, then turn green or black.Aug 07 00:57
IsambardPrinceBobbi Jo was immunized by the cat shelter.Aug 07 00:57
IsambardPrinceSo she's never caught it from Leeloo.Aug 07 00:58
IsambardPrinceFeline medicine is not great when they get old.Aug 07 01:00
IsambardPrinceShe has three major health conditions that I'm trying to manage now and none of them are easy.Aug 07 01:00
IsambardPrinceFHV, hyperthyroidism, and Osteoarthritis.Aug 07 01:00
IsambardPrinceMinceR: I might start her on an L-Lysine supplement.Aug 07 01:02
IsambardPrinceBack when Valtrex cost $1400 a month I took L-Lysine every day.Aug 07 01:02
IsambardPrinceIt does help but it's not as effective as an antiviraAug 07 01:02
IsambardPrince*antiviralAug 07 01:03
MinceRhow does that work?Aug 07 01:03

IsambardPrinceLysine?Aug 07 02:05
IsambardPrinceHell if I know.Aug 07 02:05
IsambardPrinceI just read that it worked and I started taking it and got fewer outbreaks over time.Aug 07 02:06
IsambardPrincehttps://www.goodrx.com/conditions/cold-sores/lysine-for-cold-soresAug 07 02:07
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights- ( status 403 @ https://www.goodrx.com/conditions/cold-sores/lysine-for-cold-sores )Aug 07 02:08
IsambardPrinceMinceR: I use a number of things. Valtrex, Lysine, Abreva.Aug 07 02:08
MinceRicAug 07 02:08
IsambardPrinceLysine is a supplement and Abreva is over the countery and has a generic.Aug 07 02:08
IsambardPrinceSo you can still get it even without a doctor's permission.Aug 07 02:08
IsambardPrinceI don't like having to ask a doctor over such things. They gatekeep more than they want to help, at least most of them do.Aug 07 02:09
IsambardPrinceIt was antibiotics, now it's pain medicine.Aug 07 02:10
IsambardPrinceI ran into one of them that  refused to prescribe blood pressure pills and said eat less salt, then turned around and walked off to her next patient.Aug 07 02:10
IsambardPrinceEvery system that is theoretically there to help you isn't.Aug 07 02:10
IsambardPrinceThey want to extract money from you and keep you in your place.Aug 07 02:11
IsambardPrinceThat's how they treat people like me.Aug 07 02:11
IsambardPrinceIt's basically structural violence.Aug 07 02:11
IsambardPrinceYou never know if it's safe to ask for help with anything. Aug 07 02:11
IsambardPrinceIf you say you have pain, they treat you like a junky.Aug 07 02:11
IsambardPrinceWhen they x-ray your arm and see that it's broken, they say you should try physical therapy.Aug 07 02:12
IsambardPrinceWhen you go to the police about being a crime victim, they start investigating you instead.Aug 07 02:12
IsambardPrinceIf you ask for food stamps, they're constantly auditing your finances with backdoors into the bank system looking for you to get caught screwing up.Aug 07 02:12
IsambardPrinceThen they say you mislead them so they would overpay you by $5.Aug 07 02:13
IsambardPrinceIt's more like a "spider web" than a system to help.Aug 07 02:13
IsambardPrinceAnd once you know that, you can start approaching it as such.Aug 07 02:13
IsambardPrinceThey try to keep people from seeing it by using institutional gaslighting.Aug 07 02:13
IsambardPrinceI called the police just now to report people for setting off fireworks outside.Aug 07 02:17
IsambardPrinceIt's bothering my cat.Aug 07 02:17
IsambardPrinceMinceR: I called the vet earlier and read them the riot act about my cat.Aug 07 02:24
IsambardPrinceThey wouldn't give me any eyedrops for her after I just dumped so much money this month into trying to help.Aug 07 02:25
IsambardPrinceI said "It's in her chart that she gets this sometimes from her last vet."Aug 07 02:25
IsambardPrinceFinally when I said "Well, you can put me on with the vet or you can have me come up there tomorrow and sit until someone talks to me." they suddenly broke protocol and ordered her some and said I can get it tomorrow.Aug 07 02:26
IsambardPrinceMinceR: I came to the conclusion that it's better to act like a jerk sometimes than to be pushed around.Aug 07 02:27
IsambardPrinceThe people who designate you as a jerk are the ones that are trying to gatekeep, or extract.Aug 07 02:27
IsambardPrinceWhat they say: "You're being difficult/rude/unreasonable."What they mean: "My standard script isn't working on you. You are calculating your own risk, protecting your own data, keeping your own cash, and I am completely losing my patience because I can't break your perimeter."Aug 07 02:28
IsambardPrinceBeing on the "nice" list usually costs you more than it's worth.Aug 07 02:29
IsambardPrinceThe nice list gets you "Just bring her in here and we'll take another $250 exam fee so you can leave with $15 eyedrops."Aug 07 02:30
IsambardPrinceThe nice list doesn't get you brown nose points down at the police station at 3 AM.Aug 07 02:31
IsambardPrinceIt talks you right into a jail cell.Aug 07 02:31
IsambardPrinceThe nice list means you assume that the doctor who said "eat less salt" was the final authority, and don't keep pushing, and eventually have a stroke or vascular dementia.Aug 07 02:32
IsambardPrinceThe nice list means you wonder why the physical therapy isn't working instead of going to see  the third surgeon.Aug 07 02:33
MinceRour society doesn't fucking work, it never did, and, if we keep forcing it this way, it never willAug 07 02:33
MinceRon the upside, we're going the way of the dodoAug 07 02:34
IsambardPrinceIt eventually works, if you know what you're up against.Aug 07 02:34
IsambardPrinceIt shouldn't be that way, but that's how it is.Aug 07 02:34
IsambardPrinceMinceR: Have you ever seen the movie The Naked Prey?Aug 07 02:35
MinceRwe have crispy yellow grass with sand underneathAug 07 02:35
IsambardPrinceI borrowed it from the library, they had it on Criterion DVD.Aug 07 02:35
MinceRwe keep having heat records brokenAug 07 02:35
IsambardPrinceI love that movie, actually.Aug 07 02:35
MinceRmeanwhile about half of the devil apes believe that we aren't overheating the planetAug 07 02:36
MinceRwe're turning this country into a desertAug 07 02:36
MinceRsome nazi retard told me that humanity totally has the technology to unfuck the planetAug 07 02:36
MinceRis it happening? nope.Aug 07 02:36
MinceRi haven't even heard of that movieAug 07 02:36
IsambardPrince The wealthy safari leader ignores warnings because he thinks his status and polite rules protect him. He represents the people on the "Nice List" who assume a sketchy mechanic or a lazy doctor is acting in good faith. He plays by the wrong script, and it destroys him.Aug 07 02:37
IsambardPrince Once Cornel Wilde is stripped naked in the veldt, he has zero resources, zero weapons, and zero institutional backup. He can’t reason with his pursuers, and he can’t file a complaint. He has to turn into a pure, cold machine. He scans the environment entirely for data like twigs breaking, water locations, snake movements—to intercept his targets before they get him.Aug 07 02:38
IsambardPrinceWhen you realize that you're Cornel Wilde and the rest of the people you interact with are the bushmen that stripped you naked and told you to run, things make more sense, MinceRAug 07 02:39
MinceRexcept they're just as doomed as i amAug 07 02:39
IsambardPrinceI used to be more like the safari leader, right?Aug 07 02:40
IsambardPrinceI was young. I had never smacked head first into any of these things.Aug 07 02:40
IsambardPrinceI was raised from childhood thinking that there were rules. The system would protect me.Aug 07 02:40
MinceRit feels like i'm being punished for something i don't remember by being made to live as a human among humansAug 07 02:41
IsambardPrinceThen I learned I was not in a civilized place.Aug 07 02:41

IsambardPrinceMinceR: Slipping in lies that turn you into the authority in the room helps sometimes. Especially if people won't want to test that theory.Aug 07 03:27
IsambardPrinceThe repair man saw my bug traps. He didn't say a word.Aug 07 03:27
IsambardPrinceIf he did, I was going to say "Oh man, I lived in a New York City walk up. All old buildings have issues and I'm just being proactive."Aug 07 03:28
IsambardPrinceI've never gone anywhere near New York City, but he doesn't know that.Aug 07 03:28
IsambardPrinceHe doesn't want to test the theory because the minute the subject of cockroaches comes up, he loses control of the narrative.Aug 07 03:28
IsambardPrinceSaying you "lived in a New York City walk-up" to explain pest traps says everything.Aug 07 03:31
IsambardPrinceAlmost every building in that city is completely infested.Aug 07 03:31
IsambardPrincehttps://www.mystateline.com/hill-politics/trump-orders-limits-on-birthright-citizenship-targets-birth-tourism/Aug 07 03:33
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights- ( status 403 @ https://www.mystateline.com/hill-politics/trump-orders-limits-on-birthright-citizenship-targets-birth-tourism/ )Aug 07 03:33
IsambardPrinceMinceR: Trump orders limits to birthright citizenship which were already in place due to the Constitution, existing laws, and previous court rulings.Aug 07 03:34
IsambardPrinceThen takes a victory lap for not changing anything in practice.Aug 07 03:34
IsambardPrinceAn executive order "can" duplicate an existing law or court decision, but it's weird.Aug 07 03:35
IsambardPrinceIt basically just repeats that the law that already exists, existsAug 07 03:35
MinceRwell, if the 77 million idiots fall for it, then it is indeed a victoryAug 07 03:36
IsambardPrinceIt doesn't actually change anything in practice, and claiming "children born to foreign terrorist groups" are included, that's actually something new.Aug 07 03:38
IsambardPrinceThe only court precedent is during wartime, if part of the US is occupied by a military, then children born to the invading soldiers are not US citizens.Aug 07 03:38
IsambardPrinceHowever, if one of the parents is a US citizen, it overrides that.Aug 07 03:39
IsambardPrinceSo if an occupying soldier impregnates an American woman, then the child is a US citizen.Aug 07 03:39
IsambardPrinceThey get their citizenship through the mother.Aug 07 03:39
IsambardPrinceRegardless of how this happened.Aug 07 03:39
MinceR> children born to foreign terrorist groupsAug 07 03:39
MinceRi'm sure this could have been made more complicated and specificAug 07 03:39
IsambardPrinceThe "occupied by soldiers" part has literally never happened.Aug 07 03:39
MinceRyet.Aug 07 03:40
IsambardPrinceThe last time the US was occupied by soldiers was part of Alaska during World War II.Aug 07 03:40
IsambardPrinceOn an uninhabited island.Aug 07 03:40
IsambardPrinceAnd all of the soldiers were Japanese men.Aug 07 03:40
IsambardPrinceSo that would have been truly interesting.Aug 07 03:40
IsambardPrinceNo modern war has resulted in the US being occupied by soldiers that include men and women.Aug 07 03:41
IsambardPrinceThe last time it happened, pretty much the norm in the entire world was "all soldiers are men".Aug 07 03:41
IsambardPrinceIt's kind of difficult to see this thing actually happening.Aug 07 03:42
IsambardPrinceIt requires a hostile military, with male and female soldiers, to actively occupy US territory, and then procreate with each other.Aug 07 03:42
MinceRis it?Aug 07 03:42
MinceRdidn't the Pedophile King just demonstrate that the US military is a paper tiger?Aug 07 03:43
MinceRand that he doesn't dare use nuclear weapons?Aug 07 03:43
MinceRi'm sure iran and the chinese empire were paying attention.Aug 07 03:44
IsambardPrinceMinceR: Well, it's insane because if he tries to say foreign terrorist groups are like enemy soldiers, then where does that leave the Unlawful Enemy Combatant theory George W. Bush leaned on?Aug 07 03:44
MinceRsince when did they have to tell a consistent narrative?Aug 07 03:45
IsambardPrinceWell, I'm just saying that's the sound of John Yoo's head exploding.Aug 07 03:45
MinceR:>Aug 07 03:45
MinceRafaict most people on this planet believe that it's possible for any number of sentences that contradict each other to all be trueAug 07 03:46
MinceRcases in point: bible; putler's propagandaAug 07 03:46
IsambardPrinceI wonder if CNN will ask the Torture Lawyer what he thinks.Aug 07 03:47

IsambardPrinceMinceR: The world was created in a seven day week. Why else would there be a seven day week? Every natural phenomenon out there that points to geological time tables, dinosaur fossils, and direct observations about the universe are a lie from Satan to confuse us and make us go to Hell.Aug 07 05:05
IsambardPrinceAlso, God spends all day worried about where you put your penis.Aug 07 05:05
IsambardPrinceDoes that satisfy you or do you want to be publicly flogged for not believing?Aug 07 05:06
IsambardPrince:DAug 07 05:06
IsambardPrinceGod loves us and wants us to be happy, which is why everything hurts, everything you love gets taken away, and you die painfully.Aug 07 05:07
MinceRyeah, but also, the first female human was created both before and after all the non-human animalsAug 07 05:07
IsambardPrinceHe has the power to wipe out evil, which is why there's so many people like Peter Bright who try to fuck 9 year olds and make excuses for themselves.Aug 07 05:07
IsambardPrinceNot to mention serial killers.Aug 07 05:07
MinceR"God" also loves you if you're a sinner, but he'll torture you forever, while loving you.Aug 07 05:07
IsambardPrinceHe gave you a chance to repent.Aug 07 05:08
MinceR"God" loves you, but maybe he'll make you get cancer and suffer. even if you aren't a sinner.Aug 07 05:08
IsambardPrinceThe part about wanting a little evidence was too cheeky.Aug 07 05:08
MinceR"God" wants you to love and fear him at the same time.Aug 07 05:08
IsambardPrinceNow you burn in Hell forever while he loves you.Aug 07 05:08
IsambardPrinceMinceR: But Adolf Hitler could have repented and be saved, even a moment before dying.Aug 07 05:09

IsambardPrinceMinceR: TNG was so uneven. It had a lot of crap episodes.Aug 07 17:03
IsambardPrinceI'm surprised they spent so much to restore it.Aug 07 17:03
IsambardPrinceOne episode introduces an alien race that's advanced enough to wipe the memory of the crew of the Enterprise, change the computer logs, and slip an imposter aboard who was supposedly a human starfleet officer as the XO.Aug 07 17:04
IsambardPrinceBut then they were manipulated into winning the war for these people, who were almost 200 years behind the Federation in tech.Aug 07 17:05
MinceRwell, humans like to think of their own species as oh so intelligent and they get manipulated real easilyAug 07 17:05
IsambardPrinceThe Satarran spy (Commander MacDuff) manages to completely wipe the memories of the entire crew, bypass the Enterprise's advanced firewalls to alter historical logs, and invent a fake persona out of thin air. That requires an unimaginable level of technological and biological dominance over the Federation.Aug 07 17:06
IsambardPrinceBut the grand strategy behind this legendary hack is completely pathetic. The Satarrans are locked in an endless, bloody war with the Lysians. When the Enterprise finally arrives at the Lysian central command, Picard realizes the enemy's maximum defensive capability consists of primitive stationary outposts with weak shields and weapons that couldn't even scratch the paint on a shuttlecraft.Aug 07 17:07
IsambardPrinceMinceR: Leeloo dry heaves sometimes after her FHV pill.Aug 07 17:13

IsambardPrinceMinceR: Someone on Facebook asked why the N-1 Naboo Starfighter was better than the Rebel Alliance's fighters even though it was much older.Aug 07 17:54
IsambardPrinceI said it's basically a luxury vehicle that happens to function as a starfighter.Aug 07 17:55
IsambardPrinceYou couldn't field them in a battle like the Empire vs. The Rebellion because they are too expensive, too finicky, require too many custom parts and too much highly skilled labor.Aug 07 17:55
IsambardPrinceYou win a war with what you can field, not what you would love to have under ideal circumstances.Aug 07 17:56
IsambardPrinceI used the example of the German King Tiger tank.Aug 07 17:56
IsambardPrinceThey produced 492 of them during the course of the war.Aug 07 17:56
IsambardPrinceAn amazing tank.Aug 07 17:56
IsambardPrinceThe US built 50,000 so-so tanks.Aug 07 17:56
IsambardPrinceWho won that war?Aug 07 17:56
IsambardPrinceWhen the United States gave Ukraine M1A1 tanks and Germany gave them Leopards, what happened? They got knocked out worse than the old upgraded T-60s and T-72s Ukraine already had.Aug 07 17:58
IsambardPrinceWhy did that happen? The M1A1 and Leopard are a very finicky modern tank. They require a lot of support units that Ukraine does not have.Aug 07 17:59
IsambardPrinceThey require specialized labor and facilities to maintain, that Ukraine does not have.Aug 07 18:00
IsambardPrinceSo they get kicked in the teeth by older tanks designed during the Cold War.Aug 07 18:00
IsambardPrinceWhat Ukraine actually needs are much more basic things. Artillery shells, Medium Range missiles, drones, Javelins, cruise missiles.Aug 07 18:02
IsambardPrinceSome Stingers and more Patriot missiles would be nice too.Aug 07 18:03
MinceRnuking muscovy would be nice tooAug 07 18:04
MinceRprobably also communist china, at this pointAug 07 18:04
IsambardPrinceWars never happen under ideal circumstances.Aug 07 18:04
IsambardPrinceThey happen in the mud, in the snow, in the trenches.Aug 07 18:04
IsambardPrinceWe're laughing at the Russians for welding cages and things to their tanks.Aug 07 18:05
IsambardPrinceBut 20 years ago, Americans were foraging through garbage dumps to improvise Humvee armor for IEDs.Aug 07 18:06
IsambardPrinceMinceR: I gave Leeloo half a 250 mg Famvir.Aug 07 18:14
IsambardPrinceI'll give her the other half in a bit.Aug 07 18:15
IsambardPrinceI don't want to rush the dosing and make her throw up.Aug 07 18:15
IsambardPrinceI've just got to be patient with her.Aug 07 18:15
IsambardPrinceHopefully nurse her back to health.Aug 07 18:15
IsambardPrinceShe has OA pain and the "cat flu" (FHV) going on right now.Aug 07 18:16

IsambardPrinceMinceR: I moved the food and water over to the living room.Aug 07 18:19
IsambardPrinceShe is having trouble sliding on the dining room floor.Aug 07 18:19
IsambardPrinceThe carpet gives her traction so she can stand better.Aug 07 18:19
IsambardPrinceI'm hoping this encourages her to eat and drink more.Aug 07 18:19
MinceR:)Aug 07 18:19
IsambardPrinceI am considering going to Target and getting some cans of wet food and paper plates.Aug 07 18:20
IsambardPrinceI know that this will turn Bobbi into a pest.Aug 07 18:20
IsambardPrinceShe still comes running when she hears an electric can opener.Aug 07 18:20
IsambardPrinceShe has definitely had canned food before, but I've had her since 2015 and have never fed her that.Aug 07 18:21
IsambardPrinceThat tells you how long a cat can remember something.Aug 07 18:21
