[04:17]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2] made a "joke" once that stuck with me.
[04:18]	Isambard_Prince	I mentioned how all the Filipinos I called at Capital One were really friendly, and he said something like "Yeah, they got rid of all the ones that weren't."
[04:18]	Isambard_Prince	It's like this in the US too. Like, if you have a major mental illness like I do, you're not going to be thinking happy happy thoughts all the time. Maybe you can do something but you're seriously handicapped in trying to find work that pays enough money to live.
[04:19]	Isambard_Prince	You walk into a customer service job and they force them all to act like they just got done reading Dianetics. And the job postings read this way too.
[04:20]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], I'm spending all next week with my boyfriend because Christmas so why not.
[04:21]	Isambard_Prince	I spoke with a divorce attorney today. They were really nice to me, and said that the goal here is not to start a war with Mandy because it could get very expensive. They said that we'd be working to get him on the same page and realize it would be in his own best interest to dissolve the marrriage equitably.
[04:21]	Isambard_Prince	To that end, we'll be sending him an email not service by the police or at work or anything.
[04:22]	Isambard_Prince	I told her, "Yeah, having the police show up at your door or being embarrassed at work sort of puts us on unproductive footing here."
[04:22]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, ^
[04:23]	Isambard_Prince	I know how people get when the police show up at their door or embarrass them at work.
[04:23]	Isambard_Prince	That's sometimes how the other spouse ends up getting shot. (Rarely, but it happens.)
[04:23]	Isambard_Prince	At the very least, they become unreasonable.
[04:24]	Isambard_Prince	There was this one guy in Marion, Indiana when I was a child, and he is the reason the courthouse put in metal detectors in like 1997(?) because his wife was divorcing him. Anyway, the ruling came down and it was apparently unfair to him and you know, she took him to the cleaners and got his kids and everything.
[04:25]	Isambard_Prince	So he showed up with a gun and killed her, the judge, and himself.
[04:25]	Isambard_Prince	Just recently in Connecticut, a man whose divorce was going badly, skipped the custody hearing, and then went to the judge's house and gunned down the judge in front of his family.
[04:26]	Isambard_Prince	And I remember thinking you know, I'm a child of divorce.
[04:26]	Isambard_Prince	I know how sick and unfair those judges are.
[04:43]	MinceR	lol @ dianetics
[04:45]	Isambard_Prince	MinceR, At the hotel last week, we flipped on the TV and there's a Scientology Television Network.
[04:45]	Isambard_Prince	Apparently.

[04:45]	Isambard_Prince	"I never once got COVID working in the emergency room because I was one of the first to get vaccinated and wore a mask, so that has something to say about efficacy of both," Owens said.
[04:45]	Isambard_Prince	---
[04:45]	Isambard_Prince	I got four shots and wore double masks, and got COVID twice.
[04:50]	Isambard_Prince	schestowitz[TR2], I found a hiring site that ended in .ai and wanted me to chat with a robot.
