[01:19]	TR Bot	 The Reason Why Benjamin Franklin Didn't Want The American Bald Eagle To Be The National Symbol - I'm A Useless Info Junkie
[01:19]	IsambardPrince	Fitting since Biden made the Bald Eagle our national bird today.
[01:19]	IsambardPrince	Ben Franklin described the Bald Eagle as cowardly and living off the hard work of others.
[01:19]	MinceR	https://ircz.de/p/24090746
[01:19]	TR Bot	 WHOOPSIE
[01:19]	IsambardPrince	Well, that makes it perfectly fitting for the nature of our country today.
[01:20]	IsambardPrince	More like Canada, letting people like the lobster live on the hard work of others.
[01:20]	MinceR	:>
[01:20]	MinceR	real lobsters do the hard work themselves
[01:21]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Trump says he's going to sign an executive order that pretty much deletes this trans garbage from the country.
[01:21]	IsambardPrince	Including withholding education funding from schools that promote transgenders and let them play on the wrong teams and use the wrong bathrooms.
[01:21]	IsambardPrince	We're also going to take "X" off the passports.
[01:21]	IsambardPrince	It was a mistake for any of them to ask for that.
[01:22]	IsambardPrince	It just points out with no uncertainty who they all are.
[01:22]	MinceR	when is he getting around to deleting jews from the country?
[01:23]	IsambardPrince	I don't know.

[01:24]	IsambardPrince	Within a week there will be drive by shootings, failed businesses, little bodega stores on every block, and trash blowing around in the wind.
[01:24]	IsambardPrince	The welfare state will collapse because they all take and few of them give.
[01:25]	IsambardPrince	Then we can all laugh at Canada and call them racist once resentment sets in.
[01:25]	IsambardPrince	:)
[01:26]	IsambardPrince	If you go to the welfare office for anything around here it'll be a building full of black people on $1600 iPhones.
[01:26]	IsambardPrince	With $400 earbuds.
[01:26]	IsambardPrince	And hundreds of dollars worth of hair and nail services that month.
[01:26]	IsambardPrince	There to beg for food.
[01:26]	IsambardPrince	Most of them smell like cigarettes.
[01:27]	IsambardPrince	Most of the people that my landlord evicts smoke.
[01:27]	IsambardPrince	Cigarettes here are $12.50 a pack.
[01:27]	IsambardPrince	If they smoke a pack a day, they spend $4,562 a year, each on smokes, and it always smells like they're in there smoking one.
[01:28]	IsambardPrince	So it's not even a pack a day habit.
[01:28]	IsambardPrince	Then he chases them out and complains they didn't pay him for 6 months.
[01:29]	IsambardPrince	So while they're demanding food stamps, they pay more for cigarettes than a rather generous grocery bill.
[01:29]	IsambardPrince	While they're not paying the landlord, they drive a nice car they owe payments on.
[01:35]	IsambardPrince	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Declaration_of_Independence#Annotated_text_of_the_engrossed_declaration
[01:35]	TR Bot	 United States Declaration of Independence - Wikipedia
[01:35]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, The Declaration of Independence would seem to maybe support the January 6th people.
[01:35]	IsambardPrince	The second section says it is the right of the people to throw off a form of government which has become intolerable.
[01:36]	IsambardPrince	It also states that people tend to continue to suffer while the suffering is bearable, rather than to change anything by force.
[01:37]	IsambardPrince	I really can't think of a better description of a form of government that has become intolerable than Biden's.
[01:37]	IsambardPrince	Throwing away $7 trillion a year on things we can't afford and don't need while only taking in $4 trillion in taxes, which has itself become too burdensome.
[01:37]	IsambardPrince	Which is causing hyperinflation that is promoting mass suffering.
[01:38]	IsambardPrince	Promoting all sorts of weirdness like "Rachel" Levine, "Professor" of Psychiatry, and "she/her" own best patient from the looks of it.
[01:39]	IsambardPrince	And allowing a socialist South American dictator to empty his prisons and insane asylums onto our streets, where Democrats in Chicago have spent billions and defunded public services for Americans, to make special homeless shelters for the invaders.
[01:39]	IsambardPrince	As they loot, rape, murder, and freeload.

[01:39]	IsambardPrince	So maybe the people that tried to stop this weren't wrong.
[01:39]	IsambardPrince	Maybe they do deserve a presidential pardon after Trump is back in office.
[01:40]	IsambardPrince	Perhaps they are freedom fighters.
[01:40]	IsambardPrince	One man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter.
[01:40]	IsambardPrince	Had the British won, they would have had George Washington and the rest executed.
[01:41]	IsambardPrince	The US got away from England for a lot of reasons, including prolonging an unpopular (in England) war that was costing them a lot of money.
[01:41]	IsambardPrince	Even in the state we're in now, I'd rather be here than in the UK.
[01:42]	IsambardPrince	They've had a lot of political instability.
[01:43]	IsambardPrince	A whole string of worst prime minister ever(s), back to back, one lasting only days.
[01:43]	IsambardPrince	In a way, it's a shame that Prince Andrew didn't become the King.
[01:43]	IsambardPrince	Support for the Monarchy would have gone to practically zero.
[01:44]	IsambardPrince	As if being a pedophile wasn't bad enough, now they apparently found out he's an agent of Red China.

[02:11]	TR Bot	 Video: Transgender 10-year-old fears being murdered because of her identity | CNN Politics
[02:12]	IsambardPrince	Who the hell put such sick depraved ideas as being "transgender" into the mind of a 10 year old girl?
[02:12]	IsambardPrince	Transgenders have always been physically safe in the United States.
[02:12]	IsambardPrince	Nobody liked what Keith did to my aunt, but murder was never a possibility.
[02:12]	IsambardPrince	Everyone just agreed he was fucking weird. Even more so back then because such a thing happened so rarely.
[02:13]	IsambardPrince	Nobody who was 10 when I was that age was "non-binary".
[02:13]	IsambardPrince	It just didn't exist.
[02:13]	IsambardPrince	All the nutcases just seem to have come crawling out of the woodwork in the last 10-15 years, more of them recently I'd say.
[02:14]	IsambardPrince	I mean, up until about ten years ago I'd seen Keith and some guy at Walmart who thought he was a woman and saw a psychiatrist (wasn't doing him much good apparently).
[02:14]	IsambardPrince	But this fucking crap and nonsense about "afraid of being murdered" is just something some lunatic on CNN put there because it's Christmas.
[02:15]	IsambardPrince	I remember when I was like 9 and Keith pulled up in his Honda and I opened the door and my jaw dropped. He had Christmas presants, or maybe birthday, can't remember, all I remember is he had presents for his daughters and he was wearing a dress and makeup.
[02:16]	IsambardPrince	He obviously wasn't amused that he'd seriously freaked out a kid who had never seen this shit before and thought Uncle Keith had lost his mind (he had).
[02:16]	IsambardPrince	I went up to the bathroom where my mom was blow drying her hair and was like "MOM! Uncle Keith is here....and he's dressed like a woman."
[02:16]	IsambardPrince	She was furious.
[02:17]	IsambardPrince	He went speeding down our neighborhood street in that Honda. The speed limit was like 10 and he had to have been going like 50.
[02:17]	IsambardPrince	It's what happens when you have an insane man with horse estrogen running through his brain.
[02:17]	IsambardPrince	:)

[02:18]	TR Bot	( status 502 @ https://invidious.lunar.icu/watch?v=6GAbc5uQXJo )
[02:19]	IsambardPrince	Then my mom and dad explained to me that Keith was mentally unstable and what was going on since I'd obviously already seen it.
[02:20]	IsambardPrince	I was like "Why would anyone want to do that?"
[02:20]	IsambardPrince	A perfectly reasonable question.
[02:20]	IsambardPrince	I mean, it comes from a 9 year old kid who just saw something completely illogical and ridiculous, up there with Martians landing.
[02:21]	IsambardPrince	There's a lot of ways for someone to be mentally ill, and this is just yet another one that sometimes comes up.
[02:21]	IsambardPrince	The reason you never saw it before is they'd probably moderate themselves to avoid ridicule because they know it's nuts.
[02:23]	IsambardPrince	CNN is almost out of money.
[02:23]	IsambardPrince	It's almost worthless.
[02:23]	IsambardPrince	Theey're firing people.
[02:23]	IsambardPrince	It'll be gone soon.

[07:41]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], I tried to make it as normal as possible considering how awful things are lately.
[07:42]	IsambardPrince	It cost me about $100 to make a ham, a green bean casserole, and some dinner rolls.
[07:42]	IsambardPrince	This is what has happened to our money under Biden.
[07:42]	IsambardPrince	A dinner that would have cost $40 in 2020.
[07:43]	IsambardPrince	18 eggs are $7.
[07:43]	IsambardPrince	Eggs used to be just about the cheapest thing you could buy.
[07:43]	IsambardPrince	They'd have price wars on eggs where a dozen would be like 79 cents.
[07:44]	IsambardPrince	So when reporters asked Biden what he had to say about inflation and he said "They still have some money."
[07:44]	IsambardPrince	The election comes around, "Wrong answer. Fuck off!:
[07:44]	IsambardPrince	You know?
[07:44]	IsambardPrince	People don't like that attitude.
[07:49]	nobody	national parliament elections are scheduled end of february in germany
[07:49]	nobody	shortly after trump got instated
[07:50]	nobody	the same day trump got president elect our government announced distrust in germany
[07:51]	nobody	for christmas some maniac smashed a car into a chistmas market crowd, killing 4 eldery woman and a 9year old child
[07:51]	IsambardPrince	At least it wasn't a gun!!!! Like some yanks! - schestowitz[TR2] 
[07:52]	IsambardPrince	:D
[07:52]	IsambardPrince	Just a Muslim in a van with a bomb.
[07:52]	nobody	although during christmas political talkshows aren't broadcasted, government already had begun to spin-doctor around this
[07:52]	IsambardPrince	Yep yep, one big happy united Europe.
[07:52]	nobody	since the attacker was known to police who issued severlal warnings
[07:52]	IsambardPrince	The police knew about it and did nothing. Can't do anything. He's Muslim.
[07:53]	nobody	public proaganda initially tried to portray this person as a saudi feminist
[07:53]	IsambardPrince	We're enlightened, unlike those damn Yanks. - schestowitz[TR2] 
[07:53]	IsambardPrince	One big happy Europe.
[07:53]	nobody	IsambardPrince: police did what they could; they're not permitted to hold anyone captive if no harm was done yet
[07:53]	IsambardPrince	nobody, No, just a savage like most Muslims.
[07:53]	nobody	IsambardPrince: this isn't a muslim thing
[07:54]	IsambardPrince	That sounds like, even worse than the cops here.
[07:54]	nobody	although cultural and political conflicts do exist within Arabia, it's an external conflict of theirs, unrelated to the incident
[07:54]	IsambardPrince	If they knew for sure there would be an attack, they'd make an arrest, with a SWAT tteam.
[07:54]	IsambardPrince	And charge him with so much shit he'd never see the light of day.
[07:55]	nobody	IsambardPrince: i think most cops do their job, they're not permitted to swat even when nonsense is broadcasted on twitter/x
[07:55]	nobody	that is this guy had announced to kill a dozen germans in advance
[07:55]	IsambardPrince	Here's the thing.
[07:55]	IsambardPrince	The US DOES need mass deportations.
[07:55]	IsambardPrince	We DO need a Muslim ban.
[07:56]	nobody	i've checked the background of this guy, from what some credible newspapers had published
[07:56]	nobody	and i think most political and ideological interpretations are void
[07:56]	IsambardPrince	And we also need to stop caring who we piss off to get insane asylum inmates, prisoners, criminals, and terrorists out of our country.
[07:56]	IsambardPrince	And keep them out

[07:57]	IsambardPrince	If they knew how to run a country in Canada, the income to home price ratio in major cities wouldn't be 13-15.
[07:57]	IsambardPrince	The US is getting a record number of Canadians.
[07:57]	schestowitz[TR2]	IsambardPrince: reminder, his is a tech channel
[07:57]	IsambardPrince	They're sick and tired of paying and paying just to get as little as they get.
[07:57]	nobody	i can't verify, but in interviews it was mentioned this guy was gambling and slot machines, diagnosed drugs etc.
[07:57]	IsambardPrince	We get the ones that work and add something.
[07:57]	IsambardPrince	They can keep the ones who take and cause bullshit.
[07:57]	nobody	*gambling at slot machines
[07:58]	nobody	then this medical expert lost his job, due to incompetence of his disclosed in hospital; accusing judges and police of racism
[07:58]	IsambardPrince	The nice thing about green cards is that we decide who gets those. If some mentally ill retard in Canada who can't even make $8,000 a year came here, they'd go back as soon as ICE found them.
[07:59]	nobody	IsambardPrince: well, it was supposed to be the type of immigrant that was desired, working as as medic
[07:59]	IsambardPrince	The trouble is they don't find people like this fast enough if they can figure out how to stay off the radar.
● Dec 26
[08:00]	IsambardPrince	nobody, So he went all Falling Down and just happened to be Arab?
[08:00]	IsambardPrince	It wasn't an Allah Snack Bar thing?
[08:00]	nobody	the most cynical aspect, was government and their propaganda junk tv trying to spind-doctor, this poor immigrant was supposed to be a saudi opposition feminist hero or something
[08:01]	nobody	IsambardPrince: i think the country of origin isn't relevent, nor any other political or ideological interpretation
[08:01]	nobody	if this guy was a gambler involved with slot machines
[08:01]	nobody	and a charlatan posing as medic, who couldn't diagnose a thrombosis without consulting google
[08:05]	IsambardPrince	Well, that was delicious. My maple syrup fell over on its side and started dripping onto the lid I put my Christmas ham in.
[08:05]	IsambardPrince	So I got to lick some maple syrup off my fingers.
[08:06]	IsambardPrince	It's not "cum and cheetos" but we do what we can.
[08:06]	IsambardPrince	It's the holidays after all.
[08:06]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], ^ :D
[08:06]	IsambardPrince	Inside jokes are the best ones.

[08:08]	IsambardPrince	Economic hard times, people laugh and ignore, afd.
[08:08]	IsambardPrince	:)
[08:08]	IsambardPrince	Same thing that's going on in the US.
[08:09]	nobody	that was just another spin media tried to attach, the saudi feminist psychiatric expert was supposedly an AfD-supporter
[08:09]	IsambardPrince	Yes, they have no idea how to stop them.
[08:09]	IsambardPrince	So they just accuse all the really bad guys of being one of them.
[08:10]	nobody	although there's one connection between AfD, Trump (and within Austria their FPO, where most gambling slot machines are manufactured)
[08:10]		*KindOne (kindone@user/meow/KindOne) has joined #techrights
[08:10]	nobody	i can't confirm however if this guy was involved with this type of gambling
[08:10]		*KindOne (~KindOne@23xffjdf3phbn.irc) has joined #techrights
[08:10]	IsambardPrince	We have slot machines all over the place here.
[08:10]	nobody	it would fit into the profile though
[08:11]	IsambardPrince	Even at the Chinese restaurants.
[08:11]	IsambardPrince	Then they put in a fucking casino.
[08:11]	nobody	of a charlatan
[08:11]	nobody	the slot machines are a pest
[08:11]	IsambardPrince	It was inevitable really, after allowing lottery vending machines.
[08:11]	nobody	then, this guy was cited for being opposed to islam, although this only was plausible when considering gambling
[08:11]	IsambardPrince	It's a ploy to get the poor to pay a voluntary tax, which turns into an addiction.
[08:12]	nobody	surrounding gambling, prostitution and human trafficking flourish
[08:12]	IsambardPrince	The whole system here is set up to avoid passing taxes that fall primarily on the rich.
[08:12]	nobody	which public tv tried to portray as "saudi feminist"
[08:12]	IsambardPrince	They do gambling, and gotcha stuff like traffic enforcement cameras.
[08:13]	IsambardPrince	Theoretically they affect everyone who speeds or doesn't stop, but then they put them all in the poor neihborhoods where rich people don't drive.
[08:14]	IsambardPrince	It's truly irritating to live where I do.
[08:14]	IsambardPrince	Every block there's another one of these goddamned things.
[08:14]	IsambardPrince	Until you get to the wealthier areas.
[08:15]	IsambardPrince	They know how to get the poor to fund the state that is attacking them.
[08:15]	IsambardPrince	Sin taxes, gotcha fees, gambling.
[08:16]	nobody	"in our psychiatric group therapy he [the saudi feminist] explained to us how gambling slot machines can be manipulated"
[08:16]	IsambardPrince	When you build a society on the idea that the government knows how to spend the money you earn better than you, you'll have these problems.
[08:16]	nobody	this medical expert was hired as leading staff of a psychiatric hospital for drug addicts and gamblers
[08:17]	IsambardPrince	They usually don't watch what they do to those people anyway.
[08:17]	IsambardPrince	Psych wards.
[08:17]	nobody	anyway, in public i had not heard of investigations the gambling slot machine mafia
[08:17]	IsambardPrince	Oh that's an easy one.
[08:18]	IsambardPrince	Yes, organized crime, Democrats.
[08:18]	nobody	though, in politics, there's supporters of this type of business, gambling, slot machines, online casinos etc.
[08:18]	nobody	that's the connection to Trump,AfD whichever
[08:18]	nobody	although, in Austria it's the FPO
[08:19]	nobody	the same type of guys who glorify guns and violance and free speech
[08:19]	IsambardPrince	Trump owned the Taj Mahal, the casino in New Jersey.
[08:19]	IsambardPrince	He managed to lose money with a casino.

[08:20]	IsambardPrince	His Dad loaned him a bunch of money by coming in and buying millions of dollars in chips and walking out with them and never using them, and he lost that money too.
[08:20]	nobody	the christmas market attacker had given an interview to some USA muslim group shortly before the terror attack
[08:22]	nobody	this interview didn't vanish from youtube, but i've had no time yet to follow
[08:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	<anon> mmhm, and as i said, I check TR daily to see what's what in the weeds of FOSS. if I could, I would have a team of Liams doing that kind of coverage, but I gotta start somewhere with the budget we have
[08:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	<anon> TR being techrights, heh, not mine
[08:27]	IsambardPrince	There was a social network called USENET. Mostly text. Not hard to archive. Worked with generic software.

[08:29]	IsambardPrince	Mozilla has developed Mission Creep, on the verge of bankruptcy.
[08:29]	IsambardPrince	With many sites, including banks and the US government, not supporting Firefox anymore.

[08:35]	schestowitz[TR2]	hehe
[08:38]	IsambardPrince	I know some of the county employees pretty well in that office.
[08:38]	IsambardPrince	And it's obvious none of them are trannies.
[08:38]	IsambardPrince	So I wonder where that even came from.
[08:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	can you check my draft?
[08:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	you are way off topic anyway
[08:39]	IsambardPrince	Who is forcing people to use pronouns, people who are obviously male or female, helping?

[08:47]	IsambardPrince	They wrote an article about Chili's the other day that was obviously an ad.
[08:47]	IsambardPrince	It was disguised as "Business", as if it might be of interest to investors.
[08:48]	IsambardPrince	They're pretty much out of money at CNN.
[08:48]	IsambardPrince	So they fire thousands, put up paywalls for garbage.
[08:48]	IsambardPrince	Write article-length ads.
[08:49]	IsambardPrince	Put up sensationalist bullshit like the "10 year old trannie" that's worried about "being murdered under Trump".
[08:49]	IsambardPrince	That's not actually a plausible thing that could happen.

[08:52]	IsambardPrince	popular?
[08:53]	IsambardPrince	We just had a nice dinner and relaxed today.

[08:54]	IsambardPrince	What happens to you if you run out of money.
[08:54]	IsambardPrince	And they have people spending on new TVs when the one they have works fine and $400 vacuum cleaners.
[08:54]	IsambardPrince	There used to be less consequences for being broke.
[08:55]	IsambardPrince	So people had less reason to fear it.
[08:55]	IsambardPrince	Less pressures on your finances, so less reason to think it was likely.

[08:57]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], I've considered just throwing the TV out when it breaks and not buying another one.
[08:58]	schestowitz[TR2]	maybe next year santa will be an app
[08:58]	schestowitz[TR2]	for young people to experience xmas
[08:58]	IsambardPrince	In the 90s there wasn't much competition for entertainment.
[08:58]	schestowitz[TR2]	which will be "HEY HI:
[08:58]	schestowitz[TR2]	btw, i said to rianne this week
[08:58]	schestowitz[TR2]	as we strolled through town
[08:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	here in england i son';t see many kids
[08:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	in the streets
[08:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	withowith or without parents
[08:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	maybe it's different in muslim areas
[08:59]	IsambardPrince	Same here.
[08:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	but you can tell the adult-kid ratio changed
[08:59]	IsambardPrince	No, helicopter parenting too.
[08:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	and when you see a grown up person saddled with a kid
[08:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	you might even go like
[08:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	thank you for keeping this species going
[08:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	at tyyour personal risk and expense
[08:59]	IsambardPrince	You definitely see the schools letting out.
[08:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	when i was young there were lots more kids around
● Dec 26
[09:00]	schestowitz[TR2]	and gov. programs to encourage making them
[09:00]	IsambardPrince	They just go inside and lock the door and don't come out after that.
[09:00]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], There was a 17 year old in Chicago who told me this.
[09:00]	schestowitz[TR2]	we used to be out on the streets on our own
[09:00]	schestowitz[TR2]	80s and 90s
[09:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	even as under 10s
[09:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	all on our own
[09:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	either with friends
[09:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	oe even without
[09:01]	IsambardPrince	He said there was no way to go outside and do anything because "Minority parents are the worst."
[09:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	when i was about 10 i took a taxi all on my own
[09:01]	IsambardPrince	I said, "What the hell does that mean?"
[09:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	after i missed the bus
[09:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	but even back then it was a no-no
[09:01]	schestowitz[TR2]	and they told me not to do it again
[09:01]	IsambardPrince	He said, "They're always worried you might join a gang or something so when they say come straight home they mean it."
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	He had like a couple minutes at the mall because that's when the bus change happened.
[09:02]	IsambardPrince	So he said he could just say he missed the connecting bus and that gave him, a half hour.
[09:03]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], So I had one of them tell me that all parents now are like this, at least in the "minority" segment.
[09:03]	IsambardPrince	Terrified of where their children are, what they might be doing.
[09:04]	IsambardPrince	So it's basically a form of house arrest.
[09:04]	IsambardPrince	Until they're 18.
[09:05]	IsambardPrince	It's not like it was 30 years ago for us, schestowitz[TR2] 
[09:05]	IsambardPrince	Where if you wanted to go to the park, that was fine.
[09:05]	IsambardPrince	If you wanted to go visit neighbors, do that.
[09:05]	IsambardPrince	Or friends.
[09:05]	IsambardPrince	Just call and tell your parents.
[09:06]	IsambardPrince	Today, there are parks with no children. Ever.
[09:06]	IsambardPrince	The city builds them anyway, but the neighborhoods are violent, and there's too many sick fucks that like little kids.
[09:07]	IsambardPrince	So since nobody will kill the sick fucks, and because of all the gangs, the parents impose this "house arrest except for school" policy.
[09:07]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], Within 20 miles of me, there are 468 people on the sex offender list.
[09:07]	IsambardPrince	That's just the ones who got caught.
[09:07]	IsambardPrince	Most of them should be executed so the rest of society doesn't have to suffer that form of danger again.
[09:08]	IsambardPrince	So that parents have one less reason to impose "house arrest" and fear what will happen to their children if they play in a public park.
[09:09]	IsambardPrince	We'd lose nothing of value if the state executed those people on that list.
[09:09]	IsambardPrince	They're trash. They're monsters. There's very little chance they'll ever stop, or that they're performing some irreplaceable task in the economy.
[09:10]	IsambardPrince	More likely, they'll be making your food at Subway or something, like that Jose fellow.
[09:11]	IsambardPrince	He was on Grindr palling around with some guy named Michael who was on the list.
[09:11]	IsambardPrince	The list meaning that Michael was a rich pedophile, so he could pay off the "justice" system to not send him to prison and put him on ankle monitoring instead.
[09:12]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], Anyway, too much crap floating around this place.
[09:12]	IsambardPrince	Pedos, gang members, too much crap.
[09:12]	IsambardPrince	Some of them aren't even in the country legally so we could at least make them some other country's problem if the Democrats would stop protecting them from ICE>
[09:13]	IsambardPrince	They should have castrated Peter Bright with no anesthetic and deported him to the UK.
[09:14]	IsambardPrince	If we had a system concerned with community safety they would have gotten rid of him somehow.
[09:14]	IsambardPrince	We didn't have such a problem with that when I was young.
[09:15]	IsambardPrince	Because if a guy got caught doing that, they knew what to do with him.
[09:15]	IsambardPrince	Prison, forever, make sure the other prisoners find out.
[09:15]	IsambardPrince	But now we have some problems in our government.
[09:15]	IsambardPrince	The political elite are often pedophiles themselves. So that's one problem.
[09:16]	IsambardPrince	And the State just wants to do what's cheapest for the State.

[09:24]	schestowitz[TR2]	efficient is the wrong term
[09:24]	schestowitz[TR2]	you can eat hyper-processed food
[09:24]	schestowitz[TR2]	that's "efficient"
[09:24]	schestowitz[TR2]	but not healthy

[09:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	i know someone who works around here whose colleagues all use "phoneS"
[09:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	with "apps"
[09:26]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], True.
[09:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	even for work stuff
[09:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	but it turns out, you can do without those
[09:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	and focus better on the job
[09:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	and be a better worker
[09:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	that can inspire other people
[09:26]	IsambardPrince	Honestly, 10 years before Grindr even existed, I was getting about the same ratio of the same types of people even without it.
[09:26]	schestowitz[TR2]	"if this person is this good and is the "person withut the phone", what does this mean?"
[09:27]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], So you figure that a person who is basically agoraphobic is going to go outside and meet people?
[09:27]	schestowitz[TR2]	people without "apps" get paper records
[09:27]	schestowitz[TR2]	and those can be useful for man y reasons
[09:28]	schestowitz[TR2]	the "receipt" on your "app" will barely be accessible for 12 months
[09:28]	schestowitz[TR2]	let alone 12 days
[09:28]	schestowitz[TR2]	you probably need to do infinite scroll for many minutes
[09:28]	schestowitz[TR2]	and all you then get is pixel
[09:28]	schestowitz[TR2]	that nobody will accept as "proof"
[09:28]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], Might surprise you to hear this.
[09:29]	IsambardPrince	But I still get paper bills and send checks in the mail.
[09:29]	schestowitz[TR2]	that works
[09:29]	schestowitz[TR2]	you know the upside of the cheques, right?
[09:29]	schestowitz[TR2]	they cannot do surprise billing
[09:29]	schestowitz[TR2]	ytou are in control
[09:29]	schestowitz[TR2]	here, "Direct debit" is risky

[09:29]	IsambardPrince	My landlord wanted me to sign up for a rent platform where they were going to add 3% to my rent.
[09:29]	schestowitz[TR2]	usually only after it's too late
[09:29]	IsambardPrince	I said "Hard pass."
[09:29]	schestowitz[TR2]	as a charge was made already
[09:30]	IsambardPrince	This dump is already expensive.
[09:30]	IsambardPrince	Why am I going to pay another $34.50 a month to pay him with an app?
[09:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	<IsambardPrince> This dump is already expensive. 
[09:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	to him also
[09:30]	schestowitz[TR2]	but he wants yout o rtaske and pay for his risk

[09:31]	IsambardPrince	He's the fucking dumbest landlord I've ever seen.
[09:31]	schestowitz[TR2]	which costs a lot
[09:31]	IsambardPrince	And it'll be great when he gets his ass handed to him.
[09:31]	schestowitz[TR2]	he pays money to pay for something who owes him
[09:31]	schestowitz[TR2]	for 5 months
[09:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	to merely vacate
[09:32]	IsambardPrince	Right, then they don't pay that either.
[09:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	it's kind of karmatic
[09:33]	IsambardPrince	Then he has all sorts of maintainence issues, including one that cost him thousands because of that apartment across the hall he added as a studio (was a broom closet) with the three failed tenancies so far.
[09:33]	IsambardPrince	He moved people in and the drain pipe in the hall couldn't handle it and collapsed.
[09:33]	IsambardPrince	And he had to send someone to drill the floor up to get to the pipe.
[09:33]	IsambardPrince	:D
[09:34]	IsambardPrince	Bullet in the brainpan.
[09:34]	IsambardPrince	That's where this is heading.
[09:34]	IsambardPrince	He's probably going to kill himself when he's exposed as a fraud with a lot of debt.

[09:52]	schestowitz[TR2]	debt is not fun

[09:52]	schestowitz[TR2]	let me rephrase a bit
[09:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	debt is how you pretend you can still afford what you did or hoped to
[09:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	even when you cannot
[09:53]	schestowitz[TR2]	drugs can sustain a sense of happiness

[09:55]	IsambardPrince	Like sneaking a beer when you're a teenager.

[09:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	or ciders
[09:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	you need to drink like 50% more

[09:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	for the  same effect
[09:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	it's like shriunkflation
[09:59]	IsambardPrince	Yeah, Gonad did this.

[09:59]	schestowitz[TR2]	you just buy more water

[10:05]	schestowitz[TR2]	20+ years ago aldi sold these very cheap
[10:05]	schestowitz[TR2]	but they lacked taste
[10:05]	IsambardPrince	I got a "surprise".
[10:06]	schestowitz[TR2]	maybe today's chunks are partly flakes
[10:06]	schestowitz[TR2]	to cheapen things
[10:06]	schestowitz[TR2]	the shunks shouldddd be compressed and solid

[10:15]	schestowitz[TR2]	we had too much

[10:17]	schestowitz[TR2]	unless it's decaff tea
[10:17]	schestowitz[TR2]	some tea has more caff then coffee
[10:17]	schestowitz[TR2]	which sounds absurd

[10:17]	IsambardPrince	Americans don't like tea, we like coffee.
[10:18]	schestowitz[TR2]	no wonder
[10:18]	IsambardPrince	I thought we settled this when we threw your stinking tea in our American harbor.
[10:18]	schestowitz[TR2]	look at the lifestyle

[10:18]	schestowitz[TR2]	and not lose the home to trump's economist
[10:18]	IsambardPrince	I got badly addicted to coffee when I had a full time job.
[10:18]	schestowitz[TR2]	who made a killing out of foreclosures
[10:18]	IsambardPrince	What was that now? 16 years ago?
[10:19]	schestowitz[TR2]	and recently wanted to organise buying tiktok USA

[10:19]	IsambardPrince	No logical reason to drink coffee now, or so much of it.
[10:19]	IsambardPrince	Other than what happens if I don't.
[10:19]	IsambardPrince	I've become so dependent on it I can barely function in the morning without it.
[10:20]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], Look at Japan.
[10:20]	IsambardPrince	They sell....Canned coffee with milk and cream and sugar, for drinking cold.
[10:20]	IsambardPrince	Out of vending machines.
[10:20]	IsambardPrince	The whole idea is it's not too good that way but it's convenient and you can keep going.
[10:21]	schestowitz[TR2]	"energy drinks"
[10:21]	schestowitz[TR2]	most are just caffeine
[10:21]	schestowitz[TR2]	with flavourinng
[10:21]	schestowitz[TR2]	i know some people who "use" these
[10:21]	schestowitz[TR2]	i say "use"
[10:21]	schestowitz[TR2]	for work
[10:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	to avoid falling asleep
[10:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	that's very unhealthy
[10:22]	IsambardPrince	Yes, I got addicted to Java Monsters too.
[10:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	the body asks for sleep
[10:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	for good r easons
[10:22]	IsambardPrince	That was a bad decade. very hard on me
[10:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	they deny the body what it needs
[10:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	it leads to mnany organ failures

[10:22]	IsambardPrince	They replace you.
[10:22]	IsambardPrince	The replacement drinks the Monsters.
[10:22]	schestowitz[TR2]	yes

[10:23]	schestowitz[TR2]	or fight off the workforces
[10:23]	schestowitz[TR2]	to bargain downwardas
[10:23]	schestowitz[TR2]	iirc, walmart does this a lot
[10:23]	IsambardPrince	The businesses that depend on illegal aliens to threaten American workers are shitting themselves.
[10:23]	IsambardPrince	There's a reason they lie about Trump so much.
[10:23]	IsambardPrince	And try to constantly bury him with shit.
[10:24]	IsambardPrince	They want us to either work cheap or be replaced.
[10:24]	IsambardPrince	Having a permanent underclass does this.
[10:24]	IsambardPrince	They can never become citiizens.
[10:24]	IsambardPrince	If they ask for rights, you call ICE on yourself.
[10:24]	IsambardPrince	Get it?
[10:25]	IsambardPrince	But they don't like Trump.
[10:25]	IsambardPrince	Because ICE just comes, arrests everyone with no warning.
[10:25]	IsambardPrince	Fines the crap out of the business.
[10:25]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], Up until now the deal was this.
[10:25]	IsambardPrince	Illegal aliens were everywhere.
[10:25]	IsambardPrince	The government did not care.
[10:26]	IsambardPrince	Did not care how many they were.
[10:26]	IsambardPrince	The more there were, the cheaper "labor" got.
[10:26]	IsambardPrince	If they demanded anything, then "Immigration Enforcement" happens.
[10:26]	IsambardPrince	To remove just those ones that were a problem.
[10:26]	IsambardPrince	If they start committing crimes that draw attention, they get surgically removed.
[10:27]	IsambardPrince	What Trump wants is to gather as many as possible and get rid of them.
[10:27]	IsambardPrince	And businesses don't like this.
[10:28]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], Trump says he'll target Chicago first and crack down hard.
[10:28]	IsambardPrince	Good.
[10:28]	IsambardPrince	Let him.

[23:59]	Righty	admfubar: The magnetising laser only works on antiferromagnetic materials - the selected one needed to be cooled to -155.15C to become antiferromagnetic, even then the effect only stayed in place for a short amount of time, rather than years. A material that remains antiferromagnetic at 50C at least would need to be found and then a way to retain the information for years
[23:59]	Righty	would need to be found before it becomes the slightest bit usable to make a antferromagnetic HDD.
