Sat 05:52:38 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] by paying living wages
Sat 05:52:41 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ how is it fair that I live in the same value house as my neighbour, pay nearly half what they pay and even worse they will never own the place they live.
Sat 05:52:52 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] what % of us "home owners" are just mortgage holders?
Sat 05:53:06 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] i would get vastly higher than 50% and even old people now do reverse mortgages
Sat 05:53:57 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ if you sold your place where you are, you'd probably get a castle here! very cheap prices here1
Sat 05:55:52 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ oh, Mac has come downstairs and wants his walk.....back soon!
Sat 05:56:00 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ *Max
Sat 05:56:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ [00:51] <Goblin> I would have the government gaurantee everyones mortgage. Then if the person did not pay the mortgage they would be evicted (just like with any mortgage) the government would get the property back, probably make a little profit and would not lose out so no damage to the public purse. THe benefit would be that everyone could get the mortgage and effectively pay less than rent, the rental market could still exist for
Sat 05:56:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ people but I think it would solve
Sat 05:56:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Oh you sweet summer child.
Sat 05:57:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You've never seen the people you get as tenants who tear the place up and move out in the middle of the night.
Sat 05:57:57 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] those are easy to "get"
Sat 05:58:01 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] not to get rid of
Sat 05:58:05 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] or get payments from
Sat 05:58:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Yeah, my cousin Aimee got some.
Sat 05:58:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They trashed the house she was leasing them and refused to pay rent.
Sat 05:58:21 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] the stereotype goes
Sat 05:58:26 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] choose old ladies
Sat 05:58:28 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] as tenants
Sat 05:58:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ She did eventually evict them but she never got the money.
Sat 05:58:29 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] no parties
Sat 05:58:31 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] no noise
Sat 05:58:33 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] seldom drugs
Sat 05:58:41 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] and not evading payments
Sat 05:59:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2]: Young people suck (most of them).
Sat 05:59:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They're loud, obnoxious, as you said drug use can be an issue.
Sat 06:00:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There's the "aging rock star that did drugs and still lived a long life" like Ozzy Osbourne or Alice Cooper.
Sat 06:00:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But for the most part, people who act like this don't live that long.
Sat 06:00:59 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] drugs can be an issue for many reasons
Sat 06:01:03 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] e.g. police visits
Sat 06:01:10 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] payment priooooritiess
Sat 06:01:24 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] violence and disputes with neighbours

Sat 07:02:26 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ Re: the points you make regarding tennants who destroy property, this is very true and seen in first hand however I think its fair to say that the bad tennants are a minority and when you factor in how much housing benefit the government pays (and thats even to repeated problem tennants) just to keep up with the rental increases, the damage caused by bad tennants would easily be offset by the savings made by giving a tennant a mortgage at a cheaper
Sat 07:02:26 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ cost.
Sat 07:03:50 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ and also if a person is owning a property they are less likely to destroy it in the same way if they were a renter.
Sat 07:04:10 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ it will, after a time be theirs.

Sat 07:08:13 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ the bad tennants argument would be valid if the UK still had a large council house portfolio but now its largely run by private landlords who control the rent and force increases in housing benefit and the government is oliged (and rightfully so) to ensure people have housing.

Sat 14:45:32 │ 〖nobody〗 │ ivory coast had beaten france in a friendly match few days ago
Sat 14:46:37 │ 〖nobody〗 │ so, obviously, that's a stronger opponent this evening
Sat 14:48:25 │ 〖nobody〗 │ germany already qualified for the playoffs with their 7-1 win, even when they lost another two matches now
Sat 14:49:13 │ 〖nobody〗 │ but ivory cost, would greatly benefit from a victory, too their players may wish to boost their market value for transfer into a big club in europe
Sat 14:49:29 │ 〖nobody〗 │ *coast
Sat 14:50:36 │ 〖nobody〗 │ and i mean, the german team win against an amateur club, that doesn't mean anything
Sat 14:51:02 │ 〖nobody〗 │ ivory coast, that's a different challenge, to say the least
Sat 14:52:09 │ 〖nobody〗 │ anyway, this is my guess (i wouldn't bet any money on this), a draw, 1-1, or something close to this
Sat 14:53:47 │ 〖nobody〗 │ difficult to say, because there's rarely any experts who could tell how strong ivory coast really is
Sat 14:54:14 │ 〖nobody〗 │ but, if ivory coast can beat french soccer team stars in a friendly match...
Sat 14:56:56 │ 〖nobody〗 │ the 19year old top star from ivory coast, already is contracted by Red Bull Soccer, who refused a 100million cash transfer offer
Sat 14:57:37 │ 〖nobody〗 │ recently, just another red bull soccer coach got fired, in Leipzig, where this player is contracted
Sat 14:59:00 │ 〖nobody〗 │ gladly Turkey was kicked out of the tournament already, because then their fans got no reason for speeding and noise on the streets in germany here
Sat 15:01:45 │ 〖nobody〗 │ and maybe, just maybe, ivory coast could tone down noise a tad bit over the german soccer team
Sat 15:02:36 │ 〖nobody〗 │ nonetheless, german soccer education, german soccer is infamous for their tournamament qualities
Sat 15:03:25 │ 〖nobody〗 │ out of nothing, a mediocre german soccer team busts the dreams of competitors
Sat 15:04:23 │ 〖nobody〗 │ i mean, the recent 100million cash for the ivory coast soccer star... what's this gonna be if ivory coast lost this evening
Sat 15:05:06 │ 〖nobody〗 │ and germany hasn't won anything relevent since 1996, which was their last real victory when they've won the European Cup
Sat 15:05:28 │ 〖nobody〗 │ because, the FIFA world cup they've won 2014 is a bit less prestigous, imo
Sat 15:06:14 │ 〖nobody〗 │ so, after all, the german soccer team is a mediocre one

Sat 20:04:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I made some "southern stew" out of two pounds of ground pork they gave me.
Sat 20:05:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ https://pressureluckcooking.com/instant-pot-southern-stew/
Sat 20:05:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Needed some stuff from the store, but this is not a very expensive recipe and it makes a lot of food.
Sat 20:06:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2]: I got a bottle of white wine on sale for $5.99 at the store that should allow me to cook recipes that call for some for quite a while. It had an instant rebate (via paypal) of $2. So really $3.99 for a bottle of wine to cook with. Not bad.
Sat 20:06:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There's about 5 cups of wine in there, and this one used 1 cup.
Sat 20:06:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ A bunch of collards was $1.99.
Sat 20:07:13 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Two cans of blackeyed peas (also called purple hull peas) were $1.25 each.
Sat 20:07:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ 5 cups ham broth, well, the jar has 38 teaspoon size servings, each one makes a cup, and the jar is $7.99.
Sat 20:08:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ 99 cents for a red bell pepper on sale.
Sat 20:08:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ $3.79 for a bunch of organic celery.
Sat 20:08:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Used an onion from the food bank and som half and half I already had for coffee, already had all the spices.
Sat 20:10:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So like $11.12 for stuff I didn't already have, and it made a pot of stew that lasts at least two dinners and then some for two adult men.
Sat 20:11:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Even if you didn't have the sausage and onion it would be 59 cents for an onion and sausage is on sale for $2.99 per roll this week.
Sat 20:12:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So it would have been $17.69. Call it about $18-ish for that recipe counting the spices and half and half.
Sat 20:12:47 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ organic celery!
Sat 20:13:04 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i wonder what's in the inorganic celery. maybe metals, maybe silicon...
Sat 20:13:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I don't know. I always buy the organic kind because I started juicing celery years ago and thought I'd get cheap and do "conventional" celery.
Sat 20:14:03 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The juice tasted like gasoline and lawn clippings.
Sat 20:14:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Not good at all.
Sat 20:14:16 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Ended up spraying it back out all over the wall.
Sat 20:14:21 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :>
Sat 20:14:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I never cooked with anything but organic celery since then.
Sat 20:14:31 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ funny, gasoline and lawn clippings are just as organic
Sat 20:16:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR: The conventional celery from Walmart tasted like that unforgettable smell of firing up my dad's old Lawn-Boy mower (the one that took gasoline and two cycle oil) and cutting the grass with it.
Sat 20:16:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Until it warmed up it would run so rich you could smell the grass and the two cycle oil/gasoline fumes.

So if you need 20 gallons that week you're in for $32 a week for the water. 52 weeks a year is $1664 for the water and 12 months for the dispenser is $78.

Sun 05:30:04 │ 〖Goblin〗 │ Excellent work by Japan...3-0
Sun 05:44:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR2]: The funny thing about AT&T is they're an even worse cell phone company than they were when it was landline and DSL.
Sun 05:45:03 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They will happily do illegal things like when you call to port out your number, which automatically cancels a line, turn you over to a collection agency and claim you somehow owe them for a line that's active and does not have a phone number.
Sun 05:45:08 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Which is impossible.
Sun 05:45:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They use a collection agency that says it's AI and apparently part of being "AI" is that it can't actually respond to credit bureau disputes.
Sun 05:45:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So those fall off if you dispute them because the only thing the "AI" agent can do is harass you about debt you don't actually owe AT&T.
Sun 05:46:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's like an "exit tax".
Sun 05:47:05 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They think they can get you to pay by threatening to ruin your credit.
Sun 05:47:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So many people pay them to go away even though it's wrong, because the amount is usually between $150-300.
Sun 05:48:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The Fair Credit Reporting Act says that if a creditor fails to reply to a dispute within 30 days, it comes off your credit report. Sometimes they do respond later and it comes back, but I've never had that happen when I've disputed charged off credit cards, AT&T, medical bills, or anything else.
Sun 05:49:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ About half the time the creditor is simply so disorganized that they fail to reply and never get back to it, or don't have enough documentation to prove you owe them.
Sun 05:49:54 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] <IsambardPrince> schestowitz[TR2]: The funny thing about AT&T is they're an even worse cell phone company than they were when it was landline and DSL.
Sun 05:49:57 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] right
Sun 05:49:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There are "credit repair" companies that charge money and basically all they do is dispute every bad thing on your credit, and when some of it falls off, they show you it's "working" and they want more money.
Sun 05:50:04 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] anyway, it is not an issue in the shoebox
Sun 05:50:16 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] in the shoebox he lives in they probably have communal wifi
Sun 05:50:23 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] very very secure
Sun 05:50:27 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] for the security 'guru'
Sun 05:51:04 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] <IsambardPrince> They use a collection agency that says it's AI and apparently part of being "AI" is that it can't actually respond to credit bureau disputes.
Sun 05:51:10 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] so they mean chatbot
Sun 05:51:15 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] or LLM with some extra layer
Sun 05:51:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Yeah, I think the wife said her piece.
Sun 05:51:24 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] sold by a sleazy company that makes false claims
Sun 05:51:27 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Breakups are nasty.
Sun 05:51:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Nobody knows who tells the truth.
Sun 05:51:41 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] so they can PRETEND to do jobs they do not
Sun 05:51:46 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] then they realise it costs them customers
Sun 05:51:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's probably the only predictable thing about breakups.
Sun 05:51:56 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] and try to re-hire the people they thought they could replace
Sun 05:51:57 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] karma

Sun 05:52:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They bought my carrier, Cingular, and then tried to charge an early termination fee of $500 I never agreed to with Cingular.
Sun 05:53:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I never signed any documents with AT&T.
Sun 05:53:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I never agreed to be a customer of AT&T.
Sun 05:54:03 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They bought my account and my contract with Cingular then add terms I never agreed to.
Sun 05:54:41 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] that is how it happens
Sun 05:54:48 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] they might say they change t&c
Sun 05:54:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Their DSL was okay but they threatened to cancel my account because "IRC traffic detected on an unusual port."
Sun 05:54:57 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] huh? irc.
Sun 05:54:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They assumed IRC over SSL was a virus.
Sun 05:55:03 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] it's 1980s protocol
Sun 05:55:06 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] older than the weeb
Sun 05:55:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You could stop them by replying "I am taking steps to address this infection."
Sun 05:55:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So I set that up as an autoreply.

Sun 17:13:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Sure the city won't tax you, and you also have to pay to have a septic properly maintained.

Sun 17:23:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Greg got his luggage switched by the airport, and his father in law opened it and saw sex pervert stuff.
Sun 17:23:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Not his fault.
Sun 17:23:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The cat, Jinx, flushed the bathroom toilet downstairs and overflowed the septic that Greg's father in law should have had repaired properly.
Sun 17:24:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Not Greg's fault.
Sun 17:24:47 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ Mr. Jinks?
Sun 17:25:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ While trying to deal with the luggage issue, Greg accidentally lets Jinx out and chases him up a lattice onto the roof, where he pauses to have a cigarette, and then he gives up chasing the cat for a while and takes a break with a cigarette while on the phone with the airport again, and carelessly tosses the cigarette and sets the leaves in the gutter on fire then panics and tries to smother them, knocking the leaves and the
Sun 17:25:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ electrical hookup off the house and onto the yard where the downed power line catches the gazebo and dead leave on the yard on fire.
Sun 17:25:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That one was at least partially Greg's fault.
Sun 17:26:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The electrical hookup should have been sturdier, and the father in law should have cleaned the gutters out and raked the yard.
Sun 17:26:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But the fire still wouldn't have happened without Greg's cigarette.
Sun 17:26:46 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ lol
Sun 17:27:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But to take the spotlight off himself, he points to Owen Wilson's character who built a wedding gazebo for Greg, and blames him for using so much lacquer.

Sun 17:31:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ DARVO is very obvious and intellectually lazy, but it sometimes works because it's such a blunt object.
Sun 17:31:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Trump is doing it again with the Reflecting Pond Disaster.
Sun 17:32:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He's blaming the algae and peeling paint on sabotage and vandalism instead of shoddy no bid contracting going out to a crooked friend of his that gave him campaign money.
Sun 17:33:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He deployed the National Guard to stop people from taking paint that's floating around on top of the water as a souvenir.

Sun 18:23:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ He poured the whole thing in, which was 8 doses at once.
Sun 18:23:13 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And then chased it with water, and the drain pipe exploded.
