[01:15]	DaemonFC	The "Human Rights Campaign", a "gay rights" PAC, is endorsing Republicans these days apparently.
[01:15]	DaemonFC	Sad.
[01:15]	DaemonFC	They endorsed Hillary too.
[01:16]	DaemonFC	So I joked that the only thing HRC stood for was Hillary Rodham Clinton, since she opposed same-sex marriage repeatedly.

[01:16]	DaemonFC	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Rights_Campaign#Endorsement_of_Republican_candidates
[01:16]	TR Bot	 Human Rights Campaign - Wikipedia
[01:17]	DaemonFC	"It has received backlash and criticism for several nominations of Republicans, when their Democratic opponents scored higher on HRC's own index."
[01:17]	DaemonFC	They also endorsed anti-gay Democrats, twice.
[01:17]	DaemonFC	They really like Clinton.
[01:18]	DaemonFC	They've endorsed Republicans for the Senate too, which would make it more difficult to stop Republican judges who oppose same-sex marriage and anti-discrimination laws, from being confirmed.
[01:18]	DaemonFC	I stopped interacting with them at all when they started doing this.
[01:20]	DaemonFC	It was bad enough having to deal with Trump for four years even though much of his legislative agenda went down in flames.
[01:20]	DaemonFC	He was really successful in packing the courts, and they'll be sabotaging everything they can from there for decades now.
[01:21]	DaemonFC	Because some people voted for Jill Stein, who is a Russian mole.
[01:21]	DaemonFC	She did her part to get Trump elected by pretending to be a progressive candidate for protest voters.
[01:22]	DaemonFC	We're to believe she was having dinner with Putin because Putin is very interested in what a minor party candidate who will get less than three quarters of one percent of the vote thinks about US-Russia relations.
[01:22]	DaemonFC	Fucking Stallman fell for this one too.
[01:23]	DaemonFC	Russia and the Republican Party have been the main benefactors of the Green Party.
[01:23]	DaemonFC	The Russian troll farms on Social Control Media promote the Green Party, and Republican lawyers sue to gain them ballot access.
[01:24]	DaemonFC	Of the minor parties in the US, the only one that has done double digit percentages of the vote in high profile races (such as state governors) is the Libertarian Party.
[01:25]	schestowitz__[TR]	Twitter has just suspended my account for 7 days for criticising
[01:25]	schestowitz__[TR]	Microsoft and the OSI. Of course they falsely pretend it's about COVID
[01:25]	schestowitz__[TR]	and use that to flag criticism of theirs.
[01:25]	schestowitz__[TR]	If this isn't the worse censorship attempt, I don't know what is.
[01:25]	schestowitz__[TR]	http://techrights.org/2021/12/29/osi-censorship/
[01:25]	schestowitz__[TR]	I'm astounded. So I accuse them of using COVID to promote something...
[01:25]	schestowitz__[TR]	many months ago... and now that I criticise them for something totally
[01:25]	schestowitz__[TR]	unrelated they latch onto COVID to silence me for one week or more.
[01:25]	DaemonFC	They've done particularly well in Indiana a couple of times. Nearly 17% of the vote in the 2006 US Senate election and almost 12% in last year's race for Governor.
[01:25]	schestowitz__[TR]	readers of techrights should contact OSI, and maybe Twitter to the extent feasible
[01:25]	XRevan86	DaemonFC: RMS refuses to acknowledge that the US election system is not designed to give people the choice.
[01:26]	DaemonFC	Putin takes full advantage of it.
[01:26]	MinceR	maybe people should stop relying on shitter
[01:26]	schestowitz__[TR]	[01:25] <XRevan86> DaemonFC: RMS refuses to acknowledge that the US election system is not designed to give people the choice.
[01:26]	schestowitz__[TR]	is that so?
[01:26]	schestowitz__[TR]	he does not put it like this
[01:26]	DaemonFC	He knows that all it takes to throw the election to someone like Trump is a few thousand Hippy Dippy people in Wisconsin or Florida.
[01:26]	schestowitz__[TR]	to me also, he spoke about the two-party trap
[01:26]	DaemonFC	They vote Green and get Orange.
[01:26]	schestowitz__[TR]	[01:26] <MinceR> maybe people should stop relying on shitter
[01:26]	MinceR	depends on what those people would have voted for, if not a "third party"
[01:27]	schestowitz__[TR]	I do not rely on it
[01:27]	schestowitz__[TR]	but it does have a lot of copies of things
[01:27]	XRevan86	schestowiz: RMS thinks that people can get the third option if they really want to.
[01:27]	MinceR	schestowitz__[TR]: have you tweeted about being censored after it expired?
[01:27]	DaemonFC	schestowitz__[TR], That was what I started telling anyone who asked about the Green Party or Jill Stein.
[01:28]	DaemonFC	I said it on the news in Indiana. I said, "Russia would like you to vote for Jill Stein because it could throw the election to Trump. Vote Green, get Orange.".
[01:29]	DaemonFC	The US is a first-past-the-post system except in federal elections in Maine.
[01:29]	DaemonFC	Main passed instant runoff voting, for all elections, but their state Supreme Court said it could only be applied to federal elections.
[01:29]	DaemonFC	The Republicans were pissed even at that.
[01:29]	DaemonFC	It caused a House seat to flip that they could easily hold otherwise.
[01:29]	DaemonFC	*Maine
[01:30]	XRevan86	I still remember how Vox tried to frame runoff elections as a racist thing based on one historical anecdote.
[01:30]	DaemonFC	Maine has a long history of Independent candidates ending up on the ballot, and half the time they get elected and half the time they're a spoiler and you get some total crazy fuck like Paul LePage.
[01:31]	DaemonFC	What kept happening in ME-01 was that there was a Republican and a Democrat, and you kept getting some "leftist" spoiler candidate propped up by the Republicans, and it spoiled the election and they bagged a "bonus" seat in the House.
[01:31]	DaemonFC	So the Democrats got together and pushed a ballot question about Instant Runoff Voting, which passed.
[01:32]	DaemonFC	Now, people can say their first choice is the Green Party or some Independent candidate, but their second choice is the Democrat.
[01:32]	DaemonFC	And under that system, it's much harder for the Republicans to win because they can't use lawyers, dark money, and Russian troll farms to prop up Greens or "Independents" who can't win.
[01:33]		*u-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@t25x9hgy9xhrc.irc) has joined #techrights
[01:33]	DaemonFC	It's going to be very hard to get Instant Runoff Voting anywhere else.
[01:34]	DaemonFC	California would probably be the lest difficult, but still very har.
[01:34]	DaemonFC	*hard
[01:34]	XRevan86	DaemonFC: Exactly, second tours and preferential voting are two effective ways to mitigate Divide & Conquer
[01:34]	IPFS	IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 8.83 k/sec., IPFS upstream 100.31 average k/sec., average swarm size 247.95
[01:36]	DaemonFC	Maine is a weird state.
[01:36]	DaemonFC	It splits electoral votes, and only one other (Nebraska) does that.
[01:37]	DaemonFC	Two for the winner of the popular vote in the state, and one for the winner of the popular vote in each of its House districts.
[01:37]	DaemonFC	So Trump won ME-02 last year even though they voted to keep a Democrat in the House.
[01:37]		*liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
[01:39]	DaemonFC	And Biden won NE-02, but the district voted to keep their Republican Congressman.
[01:40]	XRevan86	My district elected a United Russian with like 35% of votes, even without falsifications that works great.
[01:40]	DaemonFC	Obama won NE-02 in 2008, so the Republicans gerrymandered it to have more Republicans in it, and then Biden won it anyway in 2020, by a wider margin than Obama did in 2008, even with the gerrymander.
[01:40]	XRevan86	The party of Putin has majority support. Relative majority.
[01:40]	schestowitz__[TR]	MinceR: I mention it all the time
[01:40]	DaemonFC	So the Republicans gerrymandered it more, but then their gerrymander has been held up by a state Senate filibuster.

[01:41]	MinceR	schestowitz__[TR]: i see
[01:41]	DaemonFC	Well, the problem is our democracy is breaking down due to lack of participation.
[01:41]	schestowitz__[TR]	They say it can take them "days" to investigate
[01:41]	DaemonFC	Only about 8-9% of eligible people in my city bothered to vote for mayor this year.
[01:41]	schestowitz__[TR]	not trusting Microsoft is "COVID19 misinformation" :-)
[01:41]	DaemonFC	And the guy we got rid of was a total scumbag.
[01:42]	MinceR	there are lots of problems with democracy
[01:42]	MinceR	but it still doesn't suck as hard as autocracyt
[01:42]	DaemonFC	The new mayor, that I voted for, cut the deficit by 2/3rds and managed to repair all of the really awful roads in the first year.
[01:42]	MinceR	s/./$//
[01:42]	MinceR	argh
[01:42]	MinceR	s/.$//
[01:42]	DaemonFC	And purged the city government of the last mayor's cronies, and got that casino they've been talking about forever approved.
[01:42]	DaemonFC	And now she's fighting NRG's attempt to skip town and poison all of us forever.
[01:43]	DaemonFC	I mean, that had consequences. There was a night and day difference between the candidates.
[01:43]	XRevan86	MinceR: It's still debatable whether what the US has counts as a real democracy. But that's better than a real autocracy by a big margin regardless.
[01:43]	DaemonFC	And 90% won't vote.

[01:44]	schestowitz__[TR]	"
[01:44]	DaemonFC	Anecdotally, that's been about my experience.
[01:44]	DaemonFC	After 9/11 the last few people who figured they had to hold back or else they'd lose their re-election realized that people are dumb enough to accept anything that gets done to them.
[01:44]	XRevan86	MinceR: Right, if the US is borderline democracy, Russia is borderline dictatorship.
[01:45]	MinceR	makes me wonder what dictatorship isn't borderline :>
[01:45]	DaemonFC	The US has some democracy, but very nearly all of it that still exists is at a local or county or state level.
[01:45]	DaemonFC	The government that's closer to you seems to care more what your opinion is.
[01:45]	XRevan86	MinceR: Turkmenistan, DPRK
[01:46]	DaemonFC	But the federal government tries to preempt everything to stifle states that want to govern the way the public approves of.
[01:46]	DaemonFC	Because the oligarchy has figured out that it can use the federal bureaucracy to throw sand in the gears for people who try to get things done at the state level.
[01:47]	DaemonFC	They call Illinois one of the most corrupt states in the country, and maybe it is, I don't know.
[01:47]	DaemonFC	Debatable. 
[01:47]	DaemonFC	But whatever this is, it's amateur hour compared to D.C.
[01:49]	DaemonFC	Mostly what Congress seems to do is pass "Christmas tree bills" now, where it's just a lot of money, and they accumulate a lot of really bad policy and a lot of wasteful spending in someone's backyard to get votes, and then by the time it passes it would have been better if they had done nothing at all.
[01:49]	DaemonFC	They now admit that $100 BILLION was STOLEN. Not wasted, not spent on something stupid....STOLEN out of the Paycheck Protection Program.
[01:50]	DaemonFC	Because they doled out the money so fast on this fake COVID "emergency" that a lot of people stole millions and then fled to Russia or something.
[01:50]	DaemonFC	And that's money we'll never see again.
[01:51]	DaemonFC	COVID is not an emergency. The emergency is over.
[01:51]	DaemonFC	They put it in the news every day because real emergencies don't require a constant reminder 20 times a day that they're out there.
[01:51]	DaemonFC	When you look at the real facts, it's just a lot less shocking.
[01:51]	DaemonFC	9-10% of ICU beds in the state are COVID at this point.
[01:52]	DaemonFC	It's been tamed to the point that it's pesky, but it's not an emergency anymore.
[01:52]	XRevan86	DaemonFC: No amount of money will make one flee to Russia.
[01:52]	XRevan86	The number of people who actually did it is not high.
[01:53]	DaemonFC	Well, once you have the US federal government on your tail you need to go somewhere that won't extradite either because they don't give a fuck or they want to stick the US government in the eye.
[01:53]	DaemonFC	That's why Snowden is still there.
[01:54]	DaemonFC	The Russians had him leak a bunch of embarrassing shit and then escape there.
[01:54]	DaemonFC	And now he's put down roots, and I think married someone.
[01:54]	XRevan86	Snowden didn't do it for the money
[01:54]	DaemonFC	He's got a life there.
[01:54]	XRevan86	He did an interview recently, he's not happy here, surprisingly.
[01:55]	DaemonFC	I started joking about our former House Speaker in Illinois.
[01:55]	DaemonFC	He'd been in the state House for 50 years, the House Speaker for over 40. Accumulated more power than the Governor.
[01:55]	DaemonFC	I called him the Vladimir Putin of Illinois. (Mike Madigan)
[01:56]	XRevan86	The observation is that people with the money don't like to live here.
[01:56]	DaemonFC	That's weird.
[01:56]	DaemonFC	Well, but, yeah, I believe you.
[01:56]	DaemonFC	I heard something about rich Russians buying their way into the EU through Cyprus.
[01:56]	DaemonFC	And they were doing birth tourism in Trump hotels.
[01:56]	DaemonFC	Here in the US.
[01:57]	activelow	DaemonFC: argument was many other regular medical treatments had to be postponed because of covid
[01:57]	activelow	which must be re-scheduled and coped with now
[01:57]	XRevan86	Even the most patriotic politicians (or rather, *especially* they) prefer Europe.
[01:59]	DaemonFC	<activelow> DaemonFC: argument was many other regular medical treatments had to be postponed because of covid
[01:59]	DaemonFC	Yes, the COVID lockdowns led to the deaths of many, many younger people.
[01:59]	DaemonFC	Suicide, delayed medical treatment, joblessness leading to homelessness, etc.
[01:59]	DaemonFC	Ostensibly to save some 90 year olds in the nursing homes who have a year or two left.
[01:59]	XRevan86	DaemonFC: Fleeing to Russia is not sound also because it's not a reliable place. One day ye flee with the money to make a new life, the next a police officer extorts you with a champagne bottle.
● Dec 30
[02:00]	DaemonFC	But really to give the government an excuse to level our economy and dole out the rest of the wealth to the 100 richest Americans.
[02:00]	DaemonFC	<XRevan86> DaemonFC: Fleeing to Russia is not sound also because it's not a reliable place. One day ye flee with the money to make a new life, the next a police officer extorts you with a champagne bottle.
[02:00]	DaemonFC	Oh yes, police encounters.
[02:00]	DaemonFC	"Hey, about that money......"
[02:00]	DaemonFC	We have those too
[02:01]	activelow	the lockdown didn't intend to save anyone, it supposedly prevented hospitalizations, which it didn't either; it was purely politically motivated propaganda, doubt anyone had benefit from either, neither 90year old nor younger generation
[02:02]	DaemonFC	The 90 year olds at least had nothing left to lose.
[02:02]	DaemonFC	They had a nice life, probably.
[02:02]	DaemonFC	Nicer than most in my generation ever will.
[02:02]	DaemonFC	High paying jobs, a house they actually paid off and got to enjoy, healthcare.
[02:03]	activelow	dying lonely wasn't anything to gain
[02:03]	DaemonFC	I will regardless of when I go.
[02:03]		*frankenstein has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
[02:04]	activelow	this is my conclusion: i do not doubt a public health crisis existed, never did. however, if, it began long before the propaganda scam was fueled
[02:05]	activelow	EU and UN announced "climate emergency", and among other political motives, the orchestrated propaganda scam was tailored to slow down "CO2 emissions"
[02:06]	activelow	too, the "lockdowns" among other action served as a precaution against another excessive wave of uncontrolled mass immigration into europe
[02:06]	activelow	reintroducing border patrol, and distracting from related issues
[02:06]	DaemonFC	Yeah, they increased the price of everything quite a bit, so I don't pay for anything I don't have to anymore.
[02:06]	XRevan86	DaemonFC: This reminds me that recently Jeff Monson got scammed in shared-equity construction.
[02:07]	DaemonFC	It's all rent, utilities, food, cat supplies... I have my cats. It's not their fault that all of this happened. They're my family.
[02:07]	DaemonFC	<activelow> reintroducing border patrol, and distracting from related issues
[02:07]	XRevan86	It's a very common form of fraud in Russia.
[02:08]	DaemonFC	Yeah, the US government cut the number of post offices doing passports by half (all in the rich neighborhoods now, you know) and increased the passport fee by 20%.
[02:08]		*liberty_box (~liberty@suig26pxj59pi.irc) has joined #techrights
[02:08]	DaemonFC	Now they shut down the DMV again so you can't get anything done unless you go online and already have your license and plates.
[02:08]	activelow	reminder, i'm not permitted to travel by train anymore, in my own homeland, because i haven't received a total of four miracle injections yet
[02:09]	DaemonFC	Oh, I can travel by train.
[02:09]	XRevan86	In Russia the victims are called (tricked shareholders literally).
[02:09]	DaemonFC	They do vaccine passports in Chicago in a few days.
[02:09]	DaemonFC	Economic Suicide Note.
[02:09]	XRevan86	And Jeff Monson is one of them.
[02:09]	DaemonFC	I'm so glad I'm not in Chicago.
[02:10]	DaemonFC	There's like 5 neighborhoods out of over 70 where the crime isn't entirely out of control.
[02:10]	DaemonFC	Give it another year and it won't matter how much you pay to live there.
[02:10]	DaemonFC	There won't be enough cops to patrol anything.
[02:10]	DaemonFC	They already lost a quarter of their entire police force to resignations and early retirement in the last 18 months.
[02:11]	DaemonFC	And Mayor Beetlejuice isn't replacing any of them.
[02:11]	DaemonFC	Some continue to quit because Chicago politicians are making things intolerable and they can make almost as much money in the suburbs instead.
[02:11]	DaemonFC	White flight is happening.
[02:12]	DaemonFC	It's the most dangerous time to be in the city since 1988.
[02:12]	DaemonFC	Between the crime, the cost of living, and the vaccine passports, there's nothing to do in Chicago anymore.
[02:13]	DaemonFC	Even the Illinois Senate Majority Leader got carjacked the other day and lost her Mercedes.
[02:13]	DaemonFC	To some "misguided youth". To use an schestowitz__[TR] -ism.

[02:17]	DaemonFC	That's how you know it was some black men in a shootout. They fired off 60 rounds and didn't hit anything and we're just lucky one of the strays didn't hit a 12 year old.
[02:19]	DaemonFC	I'm surprised they were even allowed to do another Matrix movie.
[02:19]	DaemonFC	Minorities are getting really touchy about anything that resembles the "white savior" trope.
[02:22]	DaemonFC	The Hollyweirdos have almost managed to ruin the film industry.
[02:22]	DaemonFC	I give it another year, maybe two.
[02:22]	DaemonFC	There won't be anything left in an entire year worth going to see at the movies.
[02:22]	DaemonFC	COVID just acted as an accelerator for what was happening anyway.

[05:02]	kingoffrance	Schwab as publisher of the World Economic Forum's 2010 "Global Redesign" report postulates that a globalized world is best managed by a self-selected coalition of multinational corporations, governments (including through the UN system) and select civil society organizations (CSOs).[21] He argues that governments no longer are "the overwhelmingly dominant actors on the world stage
[05:02]	kingoffrance	According to the Transnational Institute (TNI), the Forum is hence planning to replace a recognised democratic model with a model where a self-selected group of "stakeholders" make decisions on behalf of the people

[05:39]	DaemonFC	They didn't start out fake, but a lot of anti-p2p companies seem to be joining them and feeding corrupt chunks to clients.
[05:39]	DaemonFC	Forcing them to restart the chunk.
[05:39]	DaemonFC	It seems their primary goal is to degrade the efficiency of the swarm, because sooner or later the download usually finished, but not before it has wasted half the size of the filed.
[05:39]	DaemonFC	*files
[05:43]	DaemonFC	Someone suggested that they got around it by limiting the number of peers their client will download from, which might work because it lowers the odds that you get connected to a bad seed.
[05:43]	DaemonFC	However, it could still happen.
[05:46]	kingoffrance	hmm, would smaller chunk size mitigate that?  would seem to be faster turnaround to detect a peer sending garbage.  apologies if i am misusing terms.   what would be the ramifications of that?   more overhead (more to download, and process) ?
[05:47]	kingoffrance	or will that kill performance?
[05:56]	kingoffrance	i imagine it would require seeders to do that, not something a client could do
● Dec 30
[06:03]	DaemonFC	Smaller chunk size would certainly help.
[06:03]	DaemonFC	These bad torrents usualyl have 16 MB chunks or more.
[06:04]	DaemonFC	4 MB chunks would probably be a safer limit.

[11:28]	DaemonFC	They can just randomly lock people out of their account and call it moderation.
[11:28]	DaemonFC	Meanwhile, people who are actively spreading misinformation seem to be immune from being banned, including some just because they're in Congress.

[11:53]	DaemonFC	schestowitz-TR2, The way you radicalize people is by targeting the nitwits and the ones who have nothing.
[11:53]	DaemonFC	Then you have plenty of muscle.

[11:54]	DaemonFC	The Libertarian Party can't get off the ground because of this.
[11:55]	DaemonFC	It doesn't appeal to hatred and violence (Republicans) or throw freebies at people who only take up space and multiply like a virus and commit crimes (Democrats).

[11:55]	DaemonFC	So people owe it nothing and don't typically vote for it.
[11:57]	DaemonFC	Agent Smith from The Matrix explained humanity pretty well. "I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed 
[11:57]	DaemonFC	and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus."
[11:58]	DaemonFC	He was disgusted with humans, hated his job imprisoning them, wished they could all be wiped out, and wanted his own program to end so badly that he was willing to destroy the Matrix, humans, and machines to do it.
[11:58]	DaemonFC	The only thing stopping him was some programming that Neo accidentally erased at the end of the first movie.
[11:59]	DaemonFC	MinceR, That makes Agent Smith essentially a Mr. Meeseeks from Rick & Morty.
[11:59]	DaemonFC	Rick warned Jerry and Beth to keep their requests simple because existence to a Mr. Meeseeks is pain and they try to fulfill your request as quickly as possible so that they can die.
● Dec 30
[12:00]	DaemonFC	But if they can't fulfill it, they eventually go insane from existing for a couple of days and decide that if they kill you, they might be allowed to disappear.
[12:03]	DaemonFC	https://rickandmorty.fandom.com/wiki/Mr._Meeseeks
[12:03]	TR Bot	 Mr. Meeseeks | Rick and Morty Wiki | Fandom
[12:04]	DaemonFC	There's a lot of computer humor here.
[12:04]	DaemonFC	"If a Meeseeks is not given a purpose at the beginning of its existence it seems to default to taking the purpose of the Meeseeks before it. This is seen when a Meeseeks created for Jerry created another Meeseeks then ordered it to kill another Meeseeks it was in argument with which the resultant Meeseeks attempted to avail. The Meeseeks then wildly began pressing the box without giving orders and all the resulting Meeseeks began trying in vain 
[12:04]	DaemonFC	to kill the rest of the Meeseeks."
[12:04]	DaemonFC	A fork bomb.
[12:05]	DaemonFC	Also, meta humor.
[12:06]	DaemonFC	The Meeseeks hates its own existence and finds it painful because it's ordered to carry out simple menial tasks.
[12:06]	DaemonFC	Much like people with bad jobs don't find them fulfilling, and the pay sucks. Thus causing life to be painful.

They had a scale model that they fried hotdogs on and said if you touch it, it'll burn you up and you'll die. Then we had hotdogs. Of course, we didn't have Apple, Google, or Amazon back then, and people were smarter, and things were built to last a lot longer than two years when you made a major purchase.

[21:27]	DaemonFC	Firefox doesn't even respect the unchecking of the spam boxes in the settings, if you can even find them.
[21:27]	DaemonFC	It pops open things advertising Mozilla VPN and then it turns out I had already unchecked the boxes it says will stop it from doing that.
[21:28]	DaemonFC	They're behaving like Microsoft now, where every time you figure out where all of the buttons are to make it leave you alone, they come up with new boxes, or about:config stuff.
[21:28]	DaemonFC	Wagering that the average user will never find it and can't be bothered to export all of their browser data to Brave and leave.

[21:37]	schestowitz-TR	DaemonFC: can you proofread?
[21:37]	DaemonFC	And the bank that manages Mandy's 401(k) sticks out unsupported browser already for Firefox 91 ESR.
[21:39]	DaemonFC	It's the current ESR.
[21:39]	DaemonFC	Firefox 95 is barely different.
[21:39]	DaemonFC	Why would I use 95 other than to suppress outdated browser warnings when nothing substantial has changed?

[21:47]	DaemonFC	They hit Mandy with a management fee, quarterly, for his retirement account.

[21:47]	DaemonFC	But one of the perks of John working for the TSA was that the Thrift Savings Plan charged no account management fees.
[21:49]	DaemonFC	I always end up having problems with the post office.
[21:49]	DaemonFC	I'm too afraid to complain unless I'm not getting any mail at all.
[21:50]	DaemonFC	Either I get no mail at all, or I get collection agencies, student loan letters, letters from the state police addressed to sex offenders, etc. Basically, the mail of everyone who has ever lived here.
[21:50]	DaemonFC	But if you mail isn't being delivered, the first thing they say is "Is your name on the mailbox? You can't get mail unless your name is on the box!"
[21:50]	DaemonFC	O RLY!?
[21:51]	DaemonFC	I never complain about getting mail for past tenants.
[21:52]	DaemonFC	I just write RETURN TO SENDER on it and stuff it all back into the outgoing mail.
[21:52]	DaemonFC	I wait until there's a pile of it and then dump it in the outgoing mail at the post office.
[21:52]	DaemonFC	It's not my fault these people have never heard about a Change of Address form.
[21:53]	DaemonFC	A comedian once said he loved Change of Address forms.

[23:16]	DaemonFC	schestowitz__[TR], I was talking to the doctor about Omega 3 fatty acid in fish oil and depression, and the NPR blurb I heard about it.
[23:16]	TR News	#gulagnoise or #googlenews has been overrun by #spam this past week. #gulag can't hire someone to keep out these mess/spamfarms? Cheapskates. #alphabet #greed
[23:17]	DaemonFC	He said they've been talking about it for a while and studying it.

[23:17]	schestowitz-TR	(gates never listens to it either)
[23:17]	DaemonFC	I said, "Yeah, but you know how those things go. In the 1550s they knew that fresh fruits and lemon juice cured and prevented scurvy but they let millions more sailors die of scurvy before finally giving them lemons and stuff 50 years later.".

[23:18]	schestowitz-TR	DaemonFC: so you had a fruitful lemony meeting with doctor quack quack
[23:19]	DaemonFC	Yes, NPR today in the car talked about Maxwell, and the guy said Epstein's victims wanted justice against "politicians, lawyers, and actors", without naming anyone except Prince Andrew.
[23:19]	DaemonFC	The only one any of them mention by name is Prince Andrew, not Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump.
[23:20]	DaemonFC	It's pretty obvious right now to anyone paying attention that they weren't just in Epstein's orbit for no particular reason.

[23:24]	DaemonFC	They are "opposite" of Fox News. Whereas Fox News is screaming about n****r crime (I'm putting it that way to de-dog whistle it, not because I'm personally on the attack.) every other article, NPR and CNN are promoting "reparations" to people who were never the victims, fostering victimhood mentality, arguing that our entire justice system should be dismantled....
[23:24]	DaemonFC	Wildly exaggerating every negative story about the police.
[23:24]	DaemonFC	It's to keep people at each other's throats.
[23:24]	TR News	Each time the media publises a #billgates "says" puff piece I hope people will challenge the (ghost)writer to remind the writer what he or she is promoting http://techrights.org/2020/09/28/non-denying-and-false-denials/

[23:28]	DaemonFC	Yes, it's a Potemkin Village of prosperity, schestowitz-TR. Those WSJ articles about the booming economy and puff pieces about what a great job Coca Cola is doing with "the portfolio" on CNN (paid ads) are like the North Korean propaganda village. Where someone goes around turning lights on and off and the buildings are actually empty shells, and there's a big fucking flag and a loudspeaker aimed at the South telling everyone how good they're 
[23:28]	DaemonFC	doing in North Korea. Meanwhile, people are starving, brainwashed, full of tapeworms. One person in the country is allowed to have a modern computer and a Steam account, and incidentally it's the only fat person there. Kim Jong Un. America is getting like that. It's a rich country for about 10% of the population and everyone else is completely on their own and brainwashed to keep voting themselves into a bigger mess with the Republican Party 
[23:28]	DaemonFC	and the 1970s Republican Party (Democrats).
[23:28]	TR News	"To this very day (more than a year later) #BillGates never denied it. But the media somehow lost interest and is instead characterising Gates as the man looking to save the world from a virus" http://techrights.org/2020/09/28/non-denying-and-false-denials/
