[00:09] DaemonFC If I'm wrong, I just have another 3-4 months of cat food on hand to rotate through. [00:10] DaemonFC If I'm right, I could walk in one day, not be able to buy any cat food even if I'd pay $100 a bag for it if there was some. [00:10] DaemonFC And watch my cats starve. [00:10] DaemonFC I don't know what the production problem really is here. [00:10] DaemonFC But there likely is something. [00:11] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], Times were different in the 80s and 90s. [00:12] DaemonFC When people found out Traci Lords was underage, there was a run on the porn stores to buy up all of the video tapes and magazines before they could take them all down. [00:12] DaemonFC The penalty was so small for trafficking in underage porn back then that I found a 1987 article in California. [00:12] DaemonFC Where a man selling 19 video tapes with a 15-17 year old Traci Lords on them was convicted. [00:13] DaemonFC It was a Class A Misdemeanor, they only charged him with one count. He paid a $1,000 fine and did a few weeks in jail. [00:13] DaemonFC Nobody had a sex offender registry back then, so when he got out, he had pretty much no lasting impact from the conviction. [00:14] DaemonFC It wasn't a problem anyone paid much attention to, probably because it wasn't happening on a large enough scale as far as anyone was aware of. [00:15] DaemonFC Even as recently as 2003 and 2004, there was the Cobra Video case, with Sean Paul Lockhart ("Brent Corrigan"). [00:15] DaemonFC It turned out he was 16-17 in some of those movies, and letting him do the videos wasn't even the first offense that the owner of the company committed. [00:16] DaemonFC Several years prior, in 2000 I think, the guy had been caught with a pornographic video he made for himself with a 15 year old sex partner, and one of the "Cash 4 Kids" judges in Pennsylvania was the judge in the case. [00:16] DaemonFC Dismissed the charges. [00:16] DaemonFC The owner of the company was murdered in an unrelated incident though. [00:17] DaemonFC From what I heard, they had trouble identifying the body, because the killers set the house on fire with gasoline and teeth do this popcorn thing when the corpse burns up. [00:18] DaemonFC MinceR, How would you like to be a police detective. [00:18] DaemonFC Homicide division. [00:18] DaemonFC Especially in a major city. [00:18] MinceR no thanks [00:18] DaemonFC I'd probably get a kick out of being in Vice. [00:19] DaemonFC Arresting pimps, prostitutes, johns, and perverts. [00:20] IPFS () Planet Gemini updated.

[00:27] DaemonFC Yes, because nobody is going to lie about this to get extra days out of school. [00:27] DaemonFC Also, once the one test is performed, it won't get into the school later. [00:28] DaemonFC Are you fucking kidding me? If COVID was out there when I was in school I'd take another week off on winter break and screw around playing video games.

[00:30] MinceR i didn't realize it was a crime to be called John [00:30] DaemonFC It's a term for a person who patronizes a prostitute. [00:30] MinceR i thought it was a name :> [00:30] DaemonFC That too. [00:31] DaemonFC MinceR, The amusing thing about English is that patronize and patronize can mean two things even though it's spelled the same way. [00:31] MinceR :> [00:31] DaemonFC Depending on whether the first a is long or short. [00:33] DaemonFC If they ever arrest me for patronizing a prostitute, I'll be sure to look at the judge and say "Gee, I'm really sorry about that, your honor. I certainly wouldn't want to give her the impression that I was smarter or superior to her just because she's a prostitute. I mean, my God. Some people have to do that to feed their children. What kind of a person do you think I am, anyway? I hope this clears the air and I'm free to leave now.".

[00:39] DaemonFC "Chawbacon" [00:40] DaemonFC Another word for a rube, a hillbilly, a hick, a provincial person, a hayseed, a yokel. [00:40] MinceR :) [00:41] DaemonFC "Chaw is an alteration of chew that is still used in some English dialects, especially in rural areas. Cured pork, or bacon, was a staple of some rural folks diets in the past. Since the 16th century, chaw has been combined with bacon to create a ludicrous name for an uncultured yokel. Over the centuries, the word has lent its delicious dialect flavor to a wide range of publications, but it has become less common in recent decades. Today [00:41] DaemonFC , city dwellers are as likely as country folk to chow down on bacon, and the word chawbacon isnt often on the lips of either group." [00:51] DaemonFC Speaking of bacon, I found a way to make it better. [00:52] DaemonFC Dip it in sriracha mayo. [00:52] DaemonFC I don't know what's wrong about "chaw"ing on bacon. [00:52] DaemonFC Bacon is the food that makes other food worth eating.

[21:55] DaemonFC $4 and they thoroughly washed and waxed. [21:55] DaemonFC Guys got in, chucked the trash, wiped interior down and vacuumed it while it was on the line. You could tip them, of course, but it was still totally reasonable. [21:55] DaemonFC 2023: "Automatic" car washes are all that are left. [21:55] DaemonFC They want $20, don't hire anyone, and hardly use any soap. [21:55] DaemonFC Always bird shit left on the window. [21:55] DaemonFC Then you vacuum the car yourself. Coin-op. [21:55] DaemonFC Mild Inflation to go with your mild Omicron? [21:55] DaemonFC Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz [21:55] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [21:55] DaemonFC So since the automatic car wash is an EPIC FAIL, I only go there in the winter when I have no choice. [21:55] DaemonFC It got up to 50 F today so I went out and hand washed my car. [21:55] DaemonFC Pretty sad that with a dollar in supplies I can make sure that the thing gets properly washed and waxed and there's zero bird shit, but the "automatic" wash is so miserly with the soap and everything, you have to pull around and go through again using your "five day rewash guarantee". [21:56] DaemonFC Guaranteed you need to rewash it immediately. [21:56] DaemonFC Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz [21:56] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [21:56] DaemonFC Mr. Steve's was from a different time. You paid $4, they did everything. And you watched it going through and getting washed a second time in the tunnel to make sure they got everything. [21:56] DaemonFC Now it's $20... squirt squirt, and pull a 360 so you can scan the 5 day rewash. [21:56] DaemonFC Road salt likes to get into EVERYTHING and people buy these new cars and don't wash them and they're a rustbucket in 3 years. [21:56] DaemonFC I'm not happy when I go through the wash and have salt streaks coming out of my door handles already. [21:56] DaemonFC Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz [21:56] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [21:56] DaemonFC So the car wash price going up 500% while they don't even get your car clean and fire everyone. [21:56] DaemonFC How does the government figure that into inflation? 500% more for a car wash that uses 30% as much stuff and your car comes out dirty, and then there's half a dozen guys per shift that don't have jobs and can't afford anything in the economy anymore? [21:56] DaemonFC I miss the 90s more every day. [21:56] DaemonFC If I could have an entire decade to live in on a loop, groundhog day, the 90s. [21:56] DaemonFC Starts with Sega, ends with Napster. [21:57] DaemonFC Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz [21:57] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [21:57] DaemonFC 90s: Hey I need to go to Taco Bell to get some burritos with guacamole and Wild sauce. Not to be confused with MILD. Wild with a W! [21:57] DaemonFC What's that? I'm higher than a kite and ready to demolish a bag full of burritos for $5?

[22:02] DaemonFC They want a government that's all powerful, and manipulates and corrupts everyone's existence and takes their freedoms away and burns them in an open pit and says "What are any of you going to do to stop us?". [22:02] DaemonFC But they can't decide if they want Nazis or 1970s Republicans doing it to them. [22:02] DaemonFC Both sides getting billions from Microsoft based on who promises more bailouts and tax cuts.

[22:04] DaemonFC What could possibly go wrong? [22:04] DaemonFC Debian is not Free anymore. It's basically just Broken Fedora with Old Packages. [22:04] DaemonFC So why bother with it? [22:04] DaemonFC It used to be deserving of respect, but any organization that puts Matt GULAG in charge of something has fallen beneath contempt. [22:05] DaemonFC Who voted on this? Not the users. Anyone that knows the guy wouldn't vote for him to be the damned dog catcher.

[22:12] DaemonFC I'm hoping that the Supreme Court strikes down the Illinois FOID Act and the law requiring Concealed Carry Permits. [22:12] DaemonFC Raising the age to 21 to buy a firearm is enforceable without a FOID Card system, at the store level. You make it a felony to sell to someone under 21 and you run sting operations. Badaboom. [22:12] DaemonFC As for FOID Cards, unnecessary. [22:12] DaemonFC Record the serial numbers and save them and run NICS checks....like they do now. Federal law. [22:12] DaemonFC Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz [22:12] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [22:12] DaemonFC Conceal and Carry Permits don't make any sense. [22:12] DaemonFC If you have law abiding citizens walking around with a handgun in an openly displayed holster, do you think anyone is going to cause trouble around them? [22:12] DaemonFC In Indiana, we had open carry, and after I left they passed open carry without permits, and not even in their most crime-riddled neighborhoods are the shootings and murders as bad as they are in Chicago and the suburbs. [22:13] DaemonFC Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz [22:13] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [22:13] DaemonFC You don't get rid of crime by disarming the people who aren't criminals. [22:13] DaemonFC Instead of throwing the criminals away forever and misplacing the key, the Democrats keep passing more laws that only affect the people who care whether they have 8 pages of felonies or not. [22:13] DaemonFC The people with 8 pages of felonies get caught with illegal handgun because what's page 9 at that point anyway? [22:15] mjg59_ DaemonFC: If people wanted to read your Toots, wouldn't they just follow you in the Fediverse rather than relying on you pasting them into IRC? [22:15] DaemonFC I have followers. [22:16] DaemonFC About the only people who get killed in Indiana are criminals killing other criminals, and the occasional cop that tries to interfere. [22:16] DaemonFC And amusingly, they did far worse to a DEA agent whose cover was blown in the town I used to live in than shooting the guy. [22:16] DaemonFC He should have been that lucky. [22:17] DaemonFC They tied him to a bed and poured kerosene all over him and set the bed on fire. [22:18] DaemonFC So you can't even chalk that up to guns at all.

[22:22] DaemonFC I wondered if anyone could do "Heisenberg" level methamphetamine. [22:22] DaemonFC So I looked it up. It turns out that around the timeline of Breaking Bad, most meth cooks switch to "P2P", and the "purity" according to the DEA went up from an average of 65% to 96% between 2007 and 2019. [22:22] DaemonFC Heisenberg (Walt) could do 99%, but most people who learned his method could do upwards of 90. [22:22] DaemonFC The biggest difference is it's a very slight yellow. [22:22] DaemonFC Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz [22:22] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [22:22] DaemonFC The effect of the "anti-precursor" laws for Pseudoephedrine means that you can get a visit from Johnny Law if you have bad sinuses, but the people making meth just went to "old school biker meth" and it's more potent than ever. [22:23] DaemonFC The government, ladies and gentlemen. [22:26] DaemonFC DaemonFC: If people wanted to read your Toots, wouldn't they just follow you in the Fediverse rather than relying on you pasting them into IRC? [22:26] DaemonFC So how is my least favorite Deep State asset today? [22:26] DaemonFC Life treating you good? Any major complaints? [22:29] DaemonFC https://dynomight.net/img/p2p-meth/seizures3.svg [22:30] DaemonFC Around 2002 is when states started passing precursor laws. By 2005, the feds had one too. [22:30] DaemonFC And for a while, meth seizures fell quite noticeably, as seen in the chart. [22:31] DaemonFC But by 2007, meth cooks started ramping up Phenylacetone (P2P) production, just like Walter White in the Breaking Bad series. [22:33] DaemonFC By 2020, the meth problem was back and worse than ever, and as more people learned to do a P2P cook, seizures of methamphetamine skyrocketed to over 130 tons in 2019. Up from just 10 tons in 2007, and 20 tons in 2002. (DEA) [22:34] DaemonFC To make matters even worse, since the purity went up from 65% to 96%, those 130+ tons have the chemical potency of almost 200 tons of the old stuff. [22:34] DaemonFC You want a really bad problem, just let the government solve it for you. [22:34] DaemonFC They handled meth and now there's (effectively) ten times more than ever before. [22:35] DaemonFC They handled "affordable healthcare" and now people pay 10x more for insurance that they can't even use because the deductibles are 8 times higher. [22:35] DaemonFC They handle "gun violence" in Illinois. Illinois is more violent each year. [22:36] DaemonFC They "rescued" the economy in 2020 and restaurants that were getting $20 gross on eggs now pay $100 while millions more people are out of work and the cost of a bag of cat food has tripled. [22:37] DaemonFC See how it works? [22:37] DaemonFC "You are being rescued. Please do not resist!" [22:37] DaemonFC Government doesn't solve problems. The government IS the problem. [22:38] DaemonFC The nine scariest words in the English Language are "I'm from the government and I'm here to help.". [22:41] DaemonFC Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz [22:41] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [22:41] DaemonFC So an American walks into a car dealership and says "I want a Ford Lightning.". The guy at the counter says, "Sure thing, all we need is a deposit and we'll try to get you one in five years.". [22:41] DaemonFC The guy pays the deposit and says "Now, should I come back in the morning or the afternoon?". [22:41] DaemonFC Guy looks at him, and says "Why do you care? You're not getting the car for five years.". [22:41] DaemonFC The customer looks him in the face and goes, "Well yeah, but it's just that I've got the plumber coming in the morning." [22:41] DaemonFC Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz [22:41] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [22:41] DaemonFC The funniest thing about the last joke is I ripped it off (the structure) from Ronald Reagan talking about the Soviet Union in 1988.
