schestowitzXRevan86: weird clipOct 13 03:17
schestowitzCommie-bashing to sell chemicals?Oct 13 03:18
XRevan86schestowitz: Just a reference to battery commercials and Reagan dealing with four USSR leaders in his term.Oct 13 03:25
schestowitzRaegan killed the USOct 13 03:26
schestowitzit was the start of many attacks on the American populationOct 13 03:26
schestowitzand passage of wealth very fast upwardsOct 13 03:26
schestowitzin turn usurping what still reminded democracyOct 13 03:26
schestowitzit got boughtOct 13 03:26
schestowitzhe didn't bring down USSROct 13 03:26
schestowitzor turns USA into USSAOct 13 03:27
XRevan86Not disputing that, just found the analogy cute.Oct 13 03:28
XRevan86Although on a technical level it doesn't hold up :)Oct 13 03:29
XRevan86> I'm told that gender isn't real, race isn't realOct 13 03:32
XRevan86I'm observing a 180° trend on hyper-focusing race.Oct 13 03:32
XRevan86Race, a pinnacle of existence. It's some kind of race-ism.Oct 13 03:33
XRevan86> Reminder: SSL certificates are 'free' only as long as you're willing to let the #NSA access the private part, i.e. they're worse than worthlessOct 13 03:35
XRevan86With ACME the private part never even leaves the local device.Oct 13 03:35
schestowitzthe concept of race is abstractOct 13 03:37
schestowitzin animal kingdom we use words like species, kindsOct 13 03:38
schestowitzand other words for taxotomyOct 13 03:38
schestowitzclassifying groups based on genetic proximityOct 13 03:38
schestowitzor affinity/trust/kinshipOct 13 03:38
XRevan86I consider it a loose categorisation, as precise as naming individual colours in a rainbow.Oct 13 03:38
schestowitzthe idea of pretending people don't cluster around particular gene sets is wrongOct 13 03:38
schestowitzor sexual duality with two types of reproductive systems... in all mammelsOct 13 03:39
schestowitz*mammalsOct 13 03:39
schestowitzto reject this can be another form of "denialism"Oct 13 03:39
schestowitzlike covid denalism, climate deniers etc.Oct 13 03:39
schestowitz*denialismOct 13 03:39
schestowitzXRevan86: races aren't about colourOct 13 03:39
schestowitzit's just often a more profound thing to our visual systemOct 13 03:40
schestowitzsome people who are blind might classify based on smell, shape etc.Oct 13 03:40
schestowitzbut the idea that we're all identical is very Animal Farm-likeOct 13 03:40
XRevan86schestowitz: Heh, I never even implied that.Oct 13 03:41
schestowitzI knowOct 13 03:41
schestowitznot youOct 13 03:41
schestowitzyou can cross-dress and allOct 13 03:41
schestowitzbut it would not swap a functional testicle and penis with vagina and uterusOct 13 03:41
schestowitzjust a fact of lifeOct 13 03:42
schestowitzand nothing personalOct 13 03:42
schestowitzactually, those in denial about it are regarded as extreme even within their groupOct 13 03:42
schestowitzto the point of becoming an embarrassment and liabilityOct 13 03:42
schestowitzyou even have "whites" who refer to themselves as blacksOct 13 03:43
schestowitzmaybe something about how they behave or how they think (identity)Oct 13 03:43
schestowitzbut it's making blacks feel awkward and people raise a brow outside that cult where you choose what you are, even if it's something you cannot beOct 13 03:43
schestowitznationalities can be changed by virtue fo naturalisationOct 13 03:44
schestowitztorvalds became (dual) us citizen and has strong englishOct 13 03:44
XRevan86Except not completely.Oct 13 03:44
schestowitzbut torvalds cannot convert to being african americanOct 13 03:44
schestowitzthe groups that reject those simple things are a vector of provocationOct 13 03:45
XRevan86It's something that enriches a personality though.Oct 13 03:45
schestowitzand entrapment for people who still kind of insist on basic facts... like religious people who wheel in Trojan horses of supersitutiobOct 13 03:45
schestowitzand then whine in anger when you told them no evidence of god existsOct 13 03:45
schestowitz[03:45] <XRevan86> It's something that enriches a personality though.Oct 13 03:46
schestowitzcults do tooOct 13 03:46
schestowitzsort of, in the short termOct 13 03:46
schestowitzunless you're not only conned but also exploited, see ScientologyOct 13 03:46
schestowitzyou can say you're a DND dragonOct 13 03:46
schestowitzbut that's in your mind aloneOct 13 03:46
MinceRmany other cults do what scientology does, just more concealedOct 13 03:47
XRevan86I mean, not having an original culture erased completely from a person.Oct 13 03:47
MinceRfor example, instead of auditing, they have confessionOct 13 03:47
schestowitzyou can say D&D dragon AND.... dragons and exist... and you're also a draftOct 13 03:47
schestowitzgood for you, but I don't accept that dragons exist and you're a dragonOct 13 03:47
XRevan86I don't really have an identity, so I just shrug at all that.Oct 13 03:47
schestowitzin my school we had this guy who jokingly or not said he was a catOct 13 03:47
MinceRinstead of having you pay for courses, they have donations and tithesOct 13 03:47
schestowitzI heard he committed suicide years laterOct 13 03:47
schestowitzMinceR: in some they have tits..Oct 13 03:48
schestowitzand baby genitalsOct 13 03:48
schestowitzCatholicism for instanceOct 13 03:48
MinceRinstead of declaring someone a Suppressive Person, they have shunningOct 13 03:48
schestowitzapparently common in orthodoxy as wellOct 13 03:49
schestowitzmaybe the analogy to religion is applicable hereOct 13 03:49
schestowitzthe insistence on non-factsOct 13 03:49
schestowitzthings that are barely even debatableOct 13 03:49
MinceRNot Even Wrong? :>Oct 13 03:50
schestowitzbut are fictions defended by how "comforting" and "convenient" they can be sometimes... like "afterlife" for person in a deathbedOct 13 03:50
schestowitzfor child sex victims it's sometimes multiple personalityOct 13 03:50
schestowitzdistancing the victim character inside their mindsOct 13 03:50
schestowitza survival mechanism within a self-deluding trapOct 13 03:51
schestowitzand then it comes tumbling downOct 13 03:51
schestowitzand that's why it can leads to frustration and worseOct 13 03:51
MinceRah, comforting and convenient human extinctionOct 13 03:52
schestowitz[03:33] <XRevan86> Race, a pinnacle of existence. It's some kind of race-ism.Oct 13 03:52
schestowitzlike sex-ismOct 13 03:52
schestowitzif you define that as existence of gendersOct 13 03:52
XRevan86schestowitz: But human psyche is more convoluted than just who has what genitals, so maybe there is something to all that.Oct 13 03:52
schestowitzthat's why some women wear men's clothes and vise versaOct 13 03:53
schestowitzthat's the level of fashion, hair styles alsoOct 13 03:53
schestowitzthat's transient anyway, we're not born with clothes onOct 13 03:53
XRevan86I'm not sure how that ties into wearing makeup and skirts too.Oct 13 03:54
schestowitzthose are things applied to oneselfOct 13 03:54
schestowitza woman doesn't become a woman because she wears makeupOct 13 03:54
schestowitzor because of high-cut bottomsOct 13 03:54
XRevan86But maybe it's something about acceptance, dunnoOct 13 03:55
schestowitzwhen the babies are delivered, unless there's a developmental issue, it's clear what gender they areOct 13 03:55
schestowitzthe transitions between genders, as I understand it, originates in edge casesOct 13 03:55
schestowitzwhen you want to help the baby resolve the embryology issueOct 13 03:56
schestowitzToday I chatted with someone about ladies who get "boob jobs" in their 50s or 60sOct 13 03:56
schestowitzI mean, what's the point?Oct 13 03:56
schestowitzAdding weight to oneself to use up resources originally designed for people who lost a breast to cancerOct 13 03:57
schestowitzthe original purpose of that was nobleOct 13 03:57
schestowitzlike restoring people's appearance after acid attacks or losing a mouth/nose to cancerOct 13 03:57
schestowitznot it's a "lifestyle" thingOct 13 03:57
schestowitzand the industry behind it targets rich and insecure peopleOct 13 03:58
schestowitznot people with physical deformity or inability to breathe etc. (like reconstructing the inhalation canals)Oct 13 03:58
XRevan86schestowitz: On a positive side it's very easy to tell those people apartOct 13 03:58
XRevan86A very particular kind of ugly.Oct 13 03:59
schestowitz(or kids born without a rectum, a clogged up one... survival risk)Oct 13 03:59
schestowitzthe "boob job" (butchering) industry expanded its marketOct 13 03:59
schestowitzinsecure womenOct 13 03:59
schestowitzwho are shown "Playboy" typesOct 13 03:59
schestowitzor trans peopleOct 13 03:59
schestowitzand people who have nothing wrong with them... but want to add some weight on their rib cageOct 13 04:00
schestowitzso now you have massive departments of "plastic" 'surgeries'Oct 13 04:00
schestowitzattachment industriesOct 13 04:00
schestowitzand they raise expectation from everyone.. like social control media and 'instagrammed' (faked) photos doOct 13 04:01
XRevan86Enormous unnatural breasts, plaster all over their faces, tanning of a weird gold-ish colour, cheeks with sharp edges…Oct 13 04:01
schestowitzeven having a gap in one's teeth nowadays make you look like you came right out of some jungleOct 13 04:01
schestowitzbecause every kid is made to fake it with dentists and orthodontistsOct 13 04:01
schestowitzthe latter use to tackle ACTUAL issuesOct 13 04:01
schestowitzlike posture and chewing problemsOct 13 04:02
schestowitznow it's supposed 'aesthetics'... fitting some image that's marketed to us as "normal" or "ideal" by the same industry that says women should weight 100lbOct 13 04:02
schestowitz*weighOct 13 04:03
XRevan86Not going to look up how much that is, probably some ludicrous number like 45kgOct 13 04:04
schestowitzeven for women who are near 6ft tallOct 13 04:05
schestowitzthat's "model" weightOct 13 04:05
schestowitzapparently borderline starvation... just puurfectOct 13 04:06
schestowitzliving on "the edge"Oct 13 04:06
schestowitzmight be OK if there's no food insecurityOct 13 04:06
schestowitzyou cannot survive long on such a body... cannot keep up with combustion and circulationOct 13 04:06
schestowitzget that "cheetah look"Oct 13 04:06
XRevan86Hah, it actually is 45kg.Oct 13 04:07
schestowitzbulimia is typical as women age, as they cannot keep their tummy flat "like in the catalog"Oct 13 04:07
schestowitzso the only way to keep up, other than tons of exercise, if to lower the body fatsOct 13 04:07
XRevan86schestowitz: Saves fabric probably.Oct 13 04:07
schestowitzto the point where it's dangerous to one's healthOct 13 04:08
schestowitzthey don't want to nourish themselves as "society" will call them "low market value"Oct 13 04:08
schestowitz[04:07] <XRevan86> schestowitz: Saves fabric probably.Oct 13 04:09
XRevan86schestowitz: And as a contrast there are plenty of straight up obese people.Oct 13 04:09
schestowitzthose who fall for it also buy too many of the same clothing itemsOct 13 04:09
schestowitzso it's still taking up lots of cotton and even wood (wardrobes)Oct 13 04:09
schestowitz20 shoes for 2 feetOct 13 04:09
schestowitzXRevan86: many obese people just gave up on health completely... like most smokersOct 13 04:10
schestowitzthey just use 'up' their body... like a vesselOct 13 04:10
schestowitz(not all, there are medical conditions too)Oct 13 04:10
schestowitz(for obesity, not for needing tobacco)Oct 13 04:10
XRevan86I wonder if there's a correlation between being overweight and having preference for soups.Oct 13 04:20
XRevan86Soups are funny beasts in that they fill one up fairly quickly.Oct 13 04:21
XRevan86Another feature of them is that sugar is not a common ingredient.Oct 13 04:21
XRevan86Disclaimer: I'm not basing this conjecture on any proper science, just some layman observations.Oct 13 04:24
schestowitzyou can also drink lots of waterOct 13 04:24
schestowitzit's one method of reducing appetiteOct 13 04:24
schestowitzyou weigh more, only temporarilyOct 13 04:24

DaemonFC[m]Apache OpenOffice is rotting and they don't seem to mind.Oct 13 17:02
DaemonFC[m]It has pretty much no compatibility with Microsoft Office and doesn't even conform to the latest version of ODF.Oct 13 17:02
DaemonFC[m]I'd say like it or not, Microsoft Office compatibility is important. You say it doesn't support what people are already using, they just don't use it.Oct 13 17:03
DaemonFC[m]Stallman had mentioned that it was unfortunate that MP3 caught on because in 2000 there were still 17 years before the patents expired.Oct 13 17:03
DaemonFC[m]But people went ahead and used it anyway, and the patent holders made billions. Oct 13 17:04
DaemonFC[m]It's still widely used.Oct 13 17:04
DaemonFC[m]Pretty much every online music source has MP3s and nothing else. Oct 13 17:04

DaemonFC[m]<schestowitz "so it was at the post office?"> Yeah, they turned it around and said that his name wasn't on my mailbox. They delivered everything else. I told the lady, "So go write his name on it!". Then I got ahold of the mail distribution center and had them put a redirect on it to send it back to the post office in Waukegan.Oct 13 20:56
DaemonFC[m]<schestowitz "sometimes they jerk up the chain"> I think the post office just sucks.Oct 13 20:56
DaemonFC[m]I looked at the new form I-765. Looks like the old one except that there's some extra questions for categories that don't apply to us.Oct 13 20:56
DaemonFC[m]<schestowitz "DaemonFC: sort out the apartment"> Yeah, they're not making it easy, but I have a feeling if they were going  to say no I'd have heard about it by now.Oct 13 20:57
DaemonFC[m]They manage like thousands of apartments all over the Chicago area, apparently.Oct 13 20:58
DaemonFC[m]I may just have to pay the weekly rate at the hotel again and standby.Oct 13 20:58
DaemonFC[m]It costs more, but it's under the limit on my credit card that way, so at least I get some points. :POct 13 20:59
DaemonFC[m]Hmm, schestowitz TransUnion deleted my Kia account that had been in the bankruptcy, but I disputed it was Experian and they got rid of the late payment John made in April but validated the rest. Well, I guess that was worth something at least.Oct 13 21:02
DaemonFC[m]Maybe 1 FICO point when they update that.Oct 13 21:02
*obarun (~obarun@host-115-126-165-174.fibre.nautile.nc) has joined #techrightsOct 13 21:02
DaemonFC[m]They also agreed that the Chase Bank cards should be set to fall off in August of 2026, not November. So they fixed that.Oct 13 21:04
DaemonFC[m]That makes those accounts 3 months older and might help my score a little next time it refreshes.Oct 13 21:04
DaemonFC[m]Generally, the further towards falling off your report something bad is, the less it affects your FICO score.Oct 13 21:11
DaemonFC[m]So you get a few points here and there, and 7 years later it falls off and you get some more points back.Oct 13 21:11
DaemonFC[m]Generally, apartments want to see a 600 on your credit score, or higher. Oct 13 21:12
DaemonFC[m]They usually look at Transunion, so cleaning that score up is the most important to finding an apartment.Oct 13 21:15
DaemonFC[m]I wasn't expecting them to delete the car, so that was just gravy. Brought my score up quite a bit though even with all the other bankruptcy accounts still there.Oct 13 21:16
DaemonFC[m]The other two refused to remove it, but oh well. Oct 13 21:16
DaemonFC[m]I needed as many FICO points as I could get for the apartment search.Oct 13 21:16
