[00:01] DaemonFC Most has been power grabs based on a very loose interpretation of: [00:01] DaemonFC The "Necessary and Proper" Clause. [00:01] DaemonFC The "General Welfare" Clause. [00:01] DaemonFC The 14th Amendment in general. [00:01] DaemonFC The almost unfettered power to tax anything in the 16th Amendment. [00:01] DaemonFC The "Commerce Clause".

[01:53] DaemonFC So this lawyer was getting ready to blow the whistle on prosecutorial misconduct (inducing a witness to give false testimony), and the way he did it was to hide witnesses to the prosecutor's star witness demanding a bribe from the defendant in order to testify honestly that the defendant hadn't committed a crime. [01:54] DaemonFC And when they sprung the trap in the courtroom, the prosecutor sent FBI agents out to where the witnesses lived to intimidate them by threatening to file charges against the witnesses to the prosecutor's witness attempting to solicit bribery.

[02:09] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], Yes, in the US the idea of male-on-male sexual harassment at work is something that nobody took seriously until like maybe the late 90s. [02:10] DaemonFC I'm told it went on rampantly before that but nobody wanted to take it to the authorities or file a lawsuit because they'd be humiliated about being harassed sexually by another man. [02:11] *geert has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [02:11] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], Do you worry about "firebombing" now that you're out of the company? [02:11] DaemonFC The UK courts are even worse than the US when it comes to "talking about people" even if it's true. [02:12] DaemonFC There's basically several "prongs" in a US court that you have to prove, and one of those prongs is very difficult to overcome if the lawsuit victim was speaking honestly because "the truth is its own defense". [02:13] DaemonFC Illinois has a SLAPP back system. Not in law, but in case law. [02:13] DaemonFC I got an angry letter from a landlord that I left a review of threatening a lawsuit. I replied to his lawyer that I would SLAPP Back if he tried it and that I would use his own printed words as evidence in court. [02:13] DaemonFC I never heard from them again and that was years ago. [02:15] DaemonFC Most people who threaten get away with it because they're puffing themselves up and can't make good on any of it. [02:15] DaemonFC MARISOL operates like this. [02:15] DaemonFC I was talking to Mandy about his sister sending rice and stuff to people back in the Philippines. [02:16] DaemonFC I said "Yeah, she's bribing hungry people cheaply and if you ever end up back there, someone is going to shove a knife in your back and walk away because they got a bag of rice from your sister that day and I'm the only thing standing between you and that, so be nice to me.".

[21:39] DaemonFC Always let people underestimate you and then spring something on them. [21:40] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR] doesn't appreciate how I handled my court problems. [21:40] DaemonFC Perhaps because there are things I can't talk about. [21:40] DaemonFC But it's best to see court problems as a form of irregular warfare. [21:41] lord_bagira well, adversarial anyway [21:41] DaemonFC You have to fight Asymmetrically, like a terrorist or an insurgent, because your enemy is bound by rules, but has infinitely more resources. [21:42] DaemonFC You're also bound by rules, but you can sort of make it look like "Hey man, I'm following the rules. It's not my fault you mistook this for something it's not. :)" [21:43] DaemonFC Make it appear as though you know less than you do, like you're up to something that you're not, and make the enemy operate in the field with imperfect information and speculation that turns out to be wrong. [21:43] DaemonFC I assembled one of those defenses that prosecutors hate and you know, you're not allowed to spring surprises on each other in court, theoretically. [21:44] DaemonFC It's just not allowed. Each side gets a preview of what the other side plans to do at trial. [21:45] DaemonFC So I formulated a defense strategy that I went over with, with my attorney, designed to peel away at least one juror and result in a mistrial, and told him to go show it to the prosecutor "because I only need one". [21:47] DaemonFC You want this guy to think "You know, this is more likely than not going to end in a mistrial and then we're going to have to organize another trial, and we'll get this bastard eventually but it's going to take days and money, and this is only a misdemeanor. What do I really want from this?". ● Jan 15 [22:03] *techuser has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [22:04] DaemonFC MinceR, The new County Clerk is asking people to be election judges. [22:04] DaemonFC I posted: [22:04] DaemonFC "Here's my experience and opinion about election judges. (Just an opinion. This post is a comedic farce, and should totally not be taken seriously.) [22:04] DaemonFC Are you an old fart who likes being paid to be a pedant about signatures? [22:04] DaemonFC Do you like to harass people by saying their signature on their ballot doesn't look right? [22:04] DaemonFC Want to make some money for annoying the public and forcing them to come in and "cure" a ballot that there was actually nothing wrong with? [22:04] DaemonFC Come on down to the government and fill out an application!" [22:05] lord_bagira DaemonFC, i wouldn't know if its something you'd do in court, but in adversarial strategy it's really fun if you can psyche them out by giving a false signal that you're going to take one strategy by lying to them, then you tell them the truth about what you're going to do so they were informed, and then they take action that address the strategy you did not tell them and are not going to implement and just get crushed in the process of [22:05] lord_bagira second-guessing [22:05] DaemonFC Well, the goal is to be good enough that it doesn't look like you're trying to pull anything. [22:05] DaemonFC The Chinese have a saying that roughly translates as "The nail that sticks out gets the hammer.". [22:06] DaemonFC So you don't want to show your ass to the prosecutor. [22:06] lord_bagira i mean, in a court, be on the level; im just meaning for asymmetrical adversarial models in general, tell them what youre going to do but give false signals to indicate another strategy that compromises their ability to respond to what you tell them you're going to do, then do what you told them you're going to do [22:07] lord_bagira this way you can tell an enemy what you're doing while they're helpless to stop you [22:07] DaemonFC Yeah, I mean I wasn't lying. If it went to trial I was going to go for a diminished capacity defense. [22:07] DaemonFC It would be a Hail Mary pass and it wouldn't be good for me if it worked. [22:08] DaemonFC The court can then rule all sorts of things, like you never get your FOID Card back or you're a ward of the Department of "Human Services". [22:08] DaemonFC But it's better than a conviction. [22:08] mjg59_ lord_bagira: See, this is why I always take you at your word [22:09] DaemonFC "Human Services" is basically the Illinois way of saying Room 101 from 1984. [22:09] lord_bagira mjg59_, you're not capable of taking me at my word because what you think are my words are almost always your own words repainting what i actually say. you lack either the literacy or emotional state necessary to take me at my word i think. [22:09] mjg59_ Or maybe I'm just saying that to give you false signals about what I'm going to do [22:09] lord_bagira i bundle your dishonesty into your emotional state in that model [22:09] DaemonFC MinceR, There's a form in TurboTax that says "Would you like Illinois Department of Revenue to share your Income Tax return with the Department of Human Services to see if you're eligible for healthcare programs?". [22:09] DaemonFC And I said, "No.". I mean fuck a duck. [22:10] DaemonFC If I want to ask DHS for anything, I have a copy of my taxes and I'll go down there and fucking hand it to them myself. [22:10] DaemonFC Nanny State sons of bitches. [22:11] DaemonFC The Illinois Department of Horrible Shitheads. [22:12] DaemonFC They have a "voluntary reporting" and "mandatory reporting" Web site for "healthcare professionals" to go behind your back and say "This guy is Patrick Bateman meets Charles Manson and you're going to want to take some extrajudicial sanctions on him. Just FYI!". [22:12] DaemonFC So don't tell a healthcare provider anything that's on the list. [22:13] lord_bagira DaemonFC, dude why would you willingly live in illinois, illinois is a corrupt shithole [22:13] DaemonFC And yet they still missed Robert Crimo III because the police didn't do their jobs and nobody had to report him to DHS because his parents took him out of public school and said fuck no he doesn't need a shrink. [22:13] lord_bagira i would never live in illinois [22:14] DaemonFC Oh Agent Hoover, Agent Hoover, we've got a live one here! ("voluntary reporting") [22:14] DaemonFC There's no such thing as doctor-patient confidentiality in this state. [22:14] DaemonFC That's why I plan to start taking the train to Wisconsin whenever my current doctor dies or retires. [22:14] lord_bagira why would you wait? [22:14] DaemonFC He's no spring chicken right now. The only reason I go see him is he does not give a shit and just hands me my pills. [22:15] DaemonFC When a psychiatrist takes an active interest in your life, you should start worrying. [22:15] lord_bagira i've enjoyed life in ohio and kentucky a great deal [22:16] DaemonFC He told me to stop talking once. That was nice of him. I mean that. [22:16] lord_bagira DaemonFC, anxiety? [22:16] DaemonFC At first I thought he was just being an asshole and then it dawned on me that he was doing me a solid while my life was falling apart because of the prosecutorial misconduct going on in my life at the time. [22:16] DaemonFC Yeah. [22:17] lord_bagira alot of mental illness is just miscategorized unmanaged anxiety [22:18] DaemonFC I mean, I really think in my case it does go into agoraphobia and PTSD and potentially lots of other things. [22:18] lord_bagira PTSD is no joke. I'm a survivor. [22:18] DaemonFC Agoraphobia, PTSD, some sort of Autism spectrum disorder, and bipolar. [22:18] lord_bagira You always have it a little but you can live a normal life. [22:18] DaemonFC Like, PTSD is weird. [22:19] lord_bagira oh i dont know how agoraphobia and autism would play into it [22:19] DaemonFC It goes away for years and then you start having panic attacks again. [22:19] lord_bagira im on like the total opposite end of the spectrum [22:19] lord_bagira (to autism) [22:19] DaemonFC You know how people who were in a war and managed to live through it might come back and they can't handle being in a room anymore without knowing where the exits are. [22:20] IPFS () Planet Gemini updated. Latest complete date at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/planet/othercapsules/2023-01-14.gmi and so far today at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/planet/othercapsules/2023-01-15.gmi with 3-day aggregate at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/planet/othercapsules/allinone.gmi [22:20] DaemonFC That. [22:20] DaemonFC Plus sleep paralysis/panic attacks/insomnia, I mean, shit happens sometimes even if I can get to sleep. Lately, I've been sleeping okay, but when it does happen, it can go on for months without clearing up. [22:20] DaemonFC Sometimes I barely get any sleep. [22:21] DaemonFC I'll spend months getting an hour or three a night and that's all I need. [22:21] DaemonFC Then I'll go through another phase where if I don't get 10 hours, I'm a zombie shuffling around the next day. [22:22] DaemonFC For 8 months in Chicago I was getting between 1-4 hours a night. [22:22] DaemonFC By the time we got out of there, I was in a waking dream. [22:22] DaemonFC I'd get out to drive somewhere and forget where I was going and pull over and try to think about it. [22:22] lord_bagira yeah the sleep thing does get weird man. been there. i didn't sleep about 6 months once right ever the events I deal with. Then slept for like a year with little 4-5 hour breaks. And then for years couldn't sleep in the bed. Had to be on the floor or on a couch in the living room for some reason. [22:22] DaemonFC It was all the damned noise. [22:23] lord_bagira I still once in a blue moon go to bed on the bed and wake up on the floor and don't remember shifting. [22:23] DaemonFC When I was a teenager, sometimes I'd wake up and go to sleep three weeks later. [22:23] DaemonFC I was awake for 23 days in a row one time. [22:23] DaemonFC Psychiatrists don't even believe me. [22:23] lord_bagira that's really bad [22:24] DaemonFC But my parents told them I was telling the truth. [22:24] lord_bagira i always needed to at least lay down for a couple hours even at my worst with sleep [22:24] DaemonFC They asked me how I could possibly be lucid after 23 days. [22:24] lord_bagira it can happen [22:24] DaemonFC I said, "At some point I couldn't stay awake any longer and passed out on the floor without a blanket or a pillow.". [22:24] DaemonFC "I assume dad stepped over me to get to the bathroom downstairs and went off to work." [22:25] DaemonFC My dad was like that. "Oh, Ryan's on the floor. Don't get him a blanket or anything.". [22:26] lord_bagira have you had your cortisol levels checked? [22:26] DaemonFC He wasn't physically or sexually abusive, he wasn't like, one of those parents that didn't feed his kids or didn't take the kids to school, but he didn't know how to parent. And that's understandable I guess since his dad was an alcoholic who didn't do much except take up space and beat the children. [22:27] DaemonFC Oh I got the belt all the time, but that wasn't considered abusive back then. [22:27] DaemonFC He wasn't breaking bones or leaving me with a black eye or a concussion. [22:27] DaemonFC If it rose to that level in the 1990s, they might do something about it. [22:29] DaemonFC Parenting is something I've never wanted to do. [22:29] DaemonFC Because bad parenting spreads through generations like a cancer. [22:29] lord_bagira ya know what's interesting about PTSD is I didn't realize the bed/floor thing was a product of it until I'd pretty much overcome it for years until I saw it become a stereotype and was like "holy shit that's me" and integrated it [22:29] DaemonFC No matter how well you want to do it, the way your parents treated you and the way theirs treated them is a strongly influencing factor. [22:30] lord_bagira no. after a certain age it stops being your parents' responsibility to break the cycle and starts to become yours and you do have control. [22:30] DaemonFC Yeah, I did break it. [22:30] DaemonFC I had no kids and their line ends with me. [22:31] DaemonFC That's the control I have. That's the revenge I have. And they're acutely aware of it. [22:31] DaemonFC They're not happy. They've let it slip. [22:32] lord_bagira if that's how you want to be remembered by the people that love you [22:32] DaemonFC They had a second child because they gave up on me before I was ten years old, and he was an even bigger disappointment than I was to them. [22:33] DaemonFC People who have a second child 9-10 years after the first, or later, are doing it because they think the first one is a failed experiment and they're calling it. [22:33] DaemonFC I don't respect people who burn it to the ground and walk away. [22:33] lord_bagira that's largely not true [22:34] lord_bagira when people have kids is largely dependent on availability and consistency of resources [22:34] lord_bagira at least in middle class fams [22:34] DaemonFC Yeah, according to the government, my parents had me when the economy was doing badly and the birth rate hit a trough (for the time period, although the birth rate is lower now, slightly, than it was during the early 80s recession). [22:35] DaemonFC People say the early 80s recession was terrible but that the economy is booming now and the only problem is that folks don't want to have work. [22:36] DaemonFC But what the data shows is that things now are actually as bad or worse than they were between 1980-1984, on the inflation, jobs, buying power (disposable income, home ownership, ability to afford even basic stuff). [22:37] DaemonFC Manufacturers of consumer products are sending out large rebates while increasing the price. [22:37] lord_bagira i cant relate, i stay between like the top 3-4% [22:37] DaemonFC It's a good strategy. [22:37] DaemonFC People who have plenty of money don't care about the coupons. [22:37] DaemonFC People who care about the coupons would buy the store brand if there wasn't a coupon and you want to charge them $10 for a bottle of shampoo that was $6 last year. [22:38] DaemonFC So coupons are a strategy to shore up your back row and protect your marketshare from the off brand products. [22:39] DaemonFC I was talking to schestowitz[TR] about Microsoft's financial reports a while back. [22:39] DaemonFC They have to admit in their SEC filings that their strategy is to dump Windows (dumping) to get OEMs to produce the devices they want out there. [22:40] DaemonFC Nobody can reach a price point that looks like the machine is comparable to Linux or a Chromebook unless Microsoft charges $50 for Windows and then hands it back to the OEM in a 100$ rebate. But why do they hand it back as a 100% rebate instead of giving it away up front? [22:40] DaemonFC Two reasons. [22:40] DaemonFC 1. The pre-rebate amount lets them call it revenue. [22:41] DaemonFC 2. It looks, legally-speaking, like a promotional offer instead of an illegal contract. [22:41] DaemonFC Besides, customer gets it home and finds out that Microsoft buried a poison pill in the system. [22:42] DaemonFC Windows is in a partially functional trial mode, and they have to pay money to break out of it, or else they're left with shitty Windows Store applications. [22:42] DaemonFC So they didn't actually get a $199 computer because right off the bat, to get it to work fully, you have to lay out as much money a buying an entire license for Windows on a computer that didn't come with it. [22:43] DaemonFC So it's a bait-and-switch tactic on the customer, to ambush them once the product is already inside their house. [22:43] DaemonFC And then they make it difficult to get rid of because "Secure Boot" doesn't want to allow Linux distributions to be installed, courtesy of Microsoft and mjg59_ [22:44] psydruid The $200 crappy laptops with too little RAM and (eMMC) storage to be useful? [22:44] DaemonFC So your options are "Learn precisely how to get Linux installed, if it's even possible, because Secure Boot won't be the end of it. They've probably jury rigged the firmware to do something else that causes Linux to malfunction or not even see the storage controller. mjg59_ covered for them there too.) [22:45] psydruid I always thought those were a joke and you're better off buying something used that comes with proper memory slots and storage connectors [22:45] DaemonFC Or "Return it to the store." and hope they take it back sell it as Open Box Junk to some other person. [22:46] DaemonFC So basically, my philosophy on computers is "Figure out if I can install Linux, if not either take it back and force the store to sell it as trash or file lawsuit against company that sold it.". [22:47] DaemonFC Under consumer protection laws, the store can't just tape it up and sell it to some other person as a new computer. [22:47] DaemonFC So they knock $100 off of it or something and say "open box" and then they don't make any money on that one. [22:48] DaemonFC We can just keep doing this until I find one that I can install an OS I want with. [22:49] DaemonFC I buy all kinds of stuff that's store return, markdown. [22:49] DaemonFC Intel is in deep shit. [22:49] lord_bagira i dont let windows in my house except where forced to for my jobs. some places will force me to use mac or windows, so i install virtualbox and then work off linux using a NAT'd virtual nic. If they "secure" my system from doing that I will quit the job pretty much immediately after I've found something else. [22:49] DaemonFC They tried to put these laptops on the market at $1,450 and then Apple canceled their order for those processors.

[23:10] DaemonFC So the guy designs the process, on his own time without any corporate approval for the project, which doesn't even officially exist, then he performs his experiments on crappy lab equipment that GE had laying around, so it cost them nothing, and then they demanded to be assigned rights to the patent because he was on their salary and used their equipment (which they weren't even using for anything anymore, officially).
