[06:00]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: I finally got roped into buying a Costco membership.
[06:00]	IsambardPrince	They offered me a $45 gift card for buying a $65 membership.
[06:01]	IsambardPrince	I guess I'll be trying out their Kirkland brand stuff.
[06:01]	IsambardPrince	That surfaced in Rick & Morty.
[06:01]	IsambardPrince	Rick said Morty stole his Meeseks box and all he had left was the shitty Kirkland brand Fleeseks box.
[06:04]	IsambardPrince	I think something appeals to me in buying a lot of something at once if it's a good price in bulk.
[06:05]	IsambardPrince	Something very cathartic about it. Operational Efficiency maybe?
[06:05]	IsambardPrince	Like, you can buy motor oil there, high mileage synthetic, and it'll be like $16.98, which is $3 a jug cheaper than Walmart, but you have to buy a box that has two jugs.
[06:06]	IsambardPrince	I like to use high mileage synthetic when I can, it's formulated for old engines that have some wear and maybe a leaking gasket or something, or some blowby.
[06:06]	IsambardPrince	People keep their cars longer  because they've gotten much more expensive.
[06:06]	IsambardPrince	So the oil companies picked up on that.

[06:09]	IsambardPrince	He's watching as some 90 year old person is buying like 100 rolls of toilet paper.
[06:09]	IsambardPrince	And straining to get it down.
[06:10]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: So they know you bought peanut butter and some ribeye steaks.
[06:10]	IsambardPrince	Like Walmart doesn't.
[06:10]	schestowitz[TR2]	90s?
[06:10]	schestowitz[TR2]	it does noy, pay cash
[06:10]	schestowitz[TR2]	not
[06:10]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: Yeah, it was just one of those things that makes you stop and people watch.

[06:11]	IsambardPrince	Those self-checkouts have cameras.
[06:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	so?
[06:11]	IsambardPrince	And I have to identify myself anyway to get the employee discount.
[06:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	right
[06:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	so don't
[06:11]	IsambardPrince	You mean pay 10% more, on purpose.
[06:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	yes

[06:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	what it says
[06:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	with cash
[06:12]	IsambardPrince	I've been meaning to try the Costco hotdog.
[06:12]	IsambardPrince	That and the coke has been $1.50 for as long as I've been alive apparently.
[06:12]	IsambardPrince	Someone was going to change that, but the CEO told them not to fuck with the hotdog.
[06:13]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: Walmart, you get a pound and a half of coffee.
[06:13]	IsambardPrince	$27.49.
[06:13]	IsambardPrince	Costco, $23.99 and you get three pounds.
[06:14]	IsambardPrince	Twice as much coffee for $3.50 less.
[06:14]	IsambardPrince	I mean, there's a lot I can save here just on consumables.
[06:15]		*psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights
[06:15]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: My brother apparently likes Costco pizza.

[06:16]	IsambardPrince	That sounds incredibly gluttonous to me.
[06:16]		*FANTOM has quit (Ping timeout: 265 seconds)
[06:17]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: They even have a gas station where they sell "Kirkland gasoline".
[06:17]	IsambardPrince	I've heard good things about the gasoline.
[06:17]	IsambardPrince	It's Top Tier and they say they use 5x the EPA detergent standard even in the Regular.
[06:17]	IsambardPrince	You have to buy the Premium at Shell to get that much detergent, and it costs over $1 a gallon more.
[06:18]	IsambardPrince	It's obvious what they're doing here. The gasoline is great stuff, sold cheaply, the food court is very filling and cheap.
[06:18]	IsambardPrince	They're saying, basically "This is what we're all about. You don't pay a lot and you get a ton of it. And it's good quality."
[06:18]	schestowitz[TR2]	just  a secon
[06:18]	IsambardPrince	It has vibes of Walmart in the 90s.
[06:18]		*schestowitz[TR2] writing article
[06:21]	IsambardPrince	Walmart is seriously an entirely different monster than it was in the 90s.
[06:21]	IsambardPrince	I remember when Walmart was cheap, and the quality was not bad.
[06:21]		*psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techrights
[06:21]	IsambardPrince	I vividly remember specific examples, like a 24 count case of Sam's Cola being $2.98.
[06:22]	IsambardPrince	They've raised prices, a lot, more than I think is justifiable.
[06:22]	IsambardPrince	They've pulled down their Made in the USA advertising, because most of it is not.
[06:22]	IsambardPrince	They yanked the "Always low prices, always." signage down.
[06:24]	IsambardPrince	I remember buying underwear at Walmart, and wearing the same underwear I bought there for over 10 years and who knows how many times through the washing machine.
[06:24]	IsambardPrince	You buy underwear there now, wash them twice. They've got holes.
[06:24]	IsambardPrince	You might as well have not bought underwear. The ones you had had holes, these have holes, now there's a hole in your wallet.

[18:11]	IsambardPrince	It was around before the Rockefellers and Standard Oil.
[18:12]	schestowitz[TR2]	"just the tip"
[18:12]	IsambardPrince	But perhaps that's when it became "modern".
[18:12]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: Ballmer said in 2017, that he no longer thinks Linux is cancer.
[18:12]	IsambardPrince	He said "The comment was right, for the times."
[18:13]	IsambardPrince	And explained that Microsoft made a lot of money by aggressively keeping Linux down.
[18:13]	IsambardPrince	You know, the patent threats, the lawsuits, the "GET THE FUD" campaign.
[18:13]	IsambardPrince	They paid consultants to say that Windows NT was more reliable and secure (it was not).
[18:14]	IsambardPrince	They did manage to "delay".
[18:14]	IsambardPrince	Then when "delay" didn't work, they attacked openly.
[18:14]	IsambardPrince	Then when that didn't work anymore (SCO's proxy war, the Novell pact, etc.) they went back and they went to the infiltration and sabotage phase.
[18:14]	IsambardPrince	Which is roughly the past decade or so.
[18:15]	IsambardPrince	Infiltrate and Sabotage has been their most successful campaign so far. "Don't run, we are your friends!"
[18:15]	IsambardPrince	You know, from 'Mars Attacks!' while they're shooting everyone with lasers.

[18:23]	IsambardPrince	If I can make $10,000 right now, but if I get caught I might have to pay a $1,000 fine, what's the incentive to not break the law?
[18:23]	schestowitz[TR2]	legal bills aside
[18:23]	IsambardPrince	In this simple example I might make $10,000 or I might make $9,000. Either way I am ahead.

[18:24]	IsambardPrince	He pays the $1,000 every day and keeps the fence.
[18:24]	IsambardPrince	He isn't taking it down. He doesn't care.
[18:24]	IsambardPrince	The fine has no effect to deter him.

[18:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	"And you are a corporate shill who uses AI generated bullsh-t pretending to be a motivated employee. Why don't you take all your cr-p and shove it back up your a-s. You ought to be ashamed of yourself for coming to this LAYOFF site defending the "hard choices" the execs have to make. Boo fu--ing hoo. Try getting laid off for no good reason and having to secure money, insurance, a new job, etc. all with a layoff skeleton in closet.
[18:25]	schestowitz[TR2]	 Until you've done that, and your time will come, STFU. I mean really, SHUT THE FU-K UP!"
[18:25]	IsambardPrince	If they made it a $50,000 or $100,000 a day fine, it might get his attention, but it still wouldn't hurt him much.
[18:25]	IsambardPrince	A $1,000 fine makes money for the city. It prevents normal people from putting up a fence that's too high.
[18:25]	IsambardPrince	But Bezos can pay the fines forever.
[18:26]	IsambardPrince	That's the law in a microcosm.
[18:26]	IsambardPrince	One system that's theoretically equal, but is designed to control your behavior, not theirs.
[18:27]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2]: The Homeowner's Associations in California got mad.
[18:27]	IsambardPrince	They used to be able to fine you whatever was in the HOA contract.
[18:27]	IsambardPrince	You agreed to the contract by buying a house that was already in the HOA.
[18:27]	IsambardPrince	If you put up a fence they did not like, they could fine you whatever was in the contract.
[18:28]	IsambardPrince	Recently, California passed a law that fines from HOAs can not exceed $500 total, per offense.
[18:28]	IsambardPrince	So if you don't want your offensive fence to go through the HOA approval process and have your neighbors decide if you get the offensive fence.
[18:28]	TR News	"Matthew 16:26: "What does it profit a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul?" Gertsner did not save us at all - he sold our soul to McKinsey. IBM is now nothing but a garden variety WITCH company completely incapable of innovation, a company that lost its soul a long time ago, as vampires at the top feed off its forever dying corpse." https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1kr4jq0y8#replies
[18:28]	TR Bot	( status 403 @ https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1kr4jq0y8#replies )
[18:28]	IsambardPrince	You just offend them with your fence, pay $500, and keep the fence.
[18:29]	IsambardPrince	If you want to paint your house some color that isn't drab enough for the HOA, pay $500 and paint your house whatever color you want.
[18:30]	IsambardPrince	Things came to a head because people were sick of being fined for things like replacing a door, inside their house, which wasn't even visible from the outside.
[18:30]	IsambardPrince	If you're not already in an HOA and they ask you to join the HOA and send you letters from their lawyer....
[18:30]	IsambardPrince	Ignore them.
[18:31]	IsambardPrince	They want you to think there's something bad that will happen to you if you don't sign up, but unless you sign something from them, they can't do anything.

[21:32]	humundr	MinceR: Indeed, we don't need AI to try to be self destructive. We're experts at that.
[21:34]	humundr	MinceR: so what happens when all the humans are extinct, will no other life form assume the mantle?
[21:36]	humundr	MinceR: check you later, the sun, the light and the potential for vitamin D synthesis calls.
[21:38]	MinceR	most likely the Sun will wipe out what's left
