Sun 21:26:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ RFMA is safe, for now. It had enough Republican support when it passed the Senate that it easily cleared 60 votes, and repealing it would fall under a point of order if the Republicans used a reconciliation bill.
Sun 21:26:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So for now, same-sex marriage is safe from that angle.
Sun 21:27:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ RFMA also has a severability clause, so what that means is if the Supreme Court strikes part of it down, the parts that are still workable without that section are still in effect.
Sun 21:28:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So if they decide that States don't have to recognize out-of-State marriage licenses that don't conform to their local laws, the federal government still would, and so could the States that chose to.
Sun 21:28:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So you still have choice of law where as long as it's legal in only one State, you could still go there.
Sun 21:28:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Illinois is getting ready to pass a law removing the requirement for residency in Illinois to get married in Illinois.
Sun 21:29:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So if we get into a situation where Indiana and Michigan don't recognize them somehow, you could still go to Illinois.
Sun 21:29:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The residency requirement dates back to when some States had Miscegenation laws.
Sun 21:30:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The Illinois legislature permitted interracial marriages, but didn't want to infringe on other States that hadn't.
Sun 21:31:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The law books have been getting huge updates here because the parts in question largely didn't matter for about 40-60 years.
Sun 21:32:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I think we should pass another type of SHIELD law, where we won't turn over people who face the death sentence until the requesting State agrees not to seek or enforce it.
Sun 21:32:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They'd sit in jail here indefinitely with a "pending" extradition until that's taken care of.

Sun 21:37:05 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ LOL
Sun 21:37:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Well, legally "trans" people do not exist anymore.
Sun 21:37:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So maybe we can go back to treating them for mental illness.
Sun 21:38:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's never "only" that they "are trans". They all obviously have other things going on because the root cause is in some sort of psychotic episode/mental condition elsewhere.
Sun 21:39:03 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I have no idea what sort of trauma makes the brain do that though. I've been through some bad shit and it never broke me so bad that my brain rebooted and I thought I was a woman when I looked in the mirror.
Sun 21:39:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Back then, I never dreamed of making it this far, of reaching my dream — accessing hormone replacement therapy (HRT), finally feeling excited for my future and the person I’m going to be."
Sun 21:40:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Chronically unemployed and trying to take it out on other people with garbage filed with government agencies that don't exist (because it's Texas)?
Sun 21:41:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Now I’m almost an adult, and I’m about five months on testosterone. I still feel 13."
Sun 21:42:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Stunted emotional development.
Sun 21:42:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ :)
Sun 21:42:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Emotional incontinence.
Sun 21:42:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Yeah, that's gonna happen when you screw up your hormones.

Sun 21:46:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Transgender adults in the United States are also more likely than cisgender adults to be uninsured, to have incomes below $50,000 per year and to be unemployed, the survey found."
Sun 21:46:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Finally, I can live my dream!"
Sun 21:46:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, ^
Sun 21:47:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Many transgender people can’t afford to pay out of pocket for their health care."
Sun 21:47:38 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ can you at least leave my nick out of your bigoted rants?
Sun 21:47:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Well, no. It's hard paying for actual medically necessary healthcare. I can only imagine what happens when you add the costs of treating terminal illness because you have a mental illness that makes you think you're the wrong gender.
Sun 21:48:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Without the ability to pay for prescription refills on hormones like testosterone and estrogen, trans Americans would face the prospect of having to suddenly stop hormone replacement therapy, which can cause adverse side effects like menopausal symptoms."
Sun 21:48:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Sounds fun.
Sun 21:48:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Where do I sign up to transition so that if I'm broke that month I too can experience man-o-pausal symptoms.
Sun 21:49:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Republicans have indicated that they want to keep the filibuster,but, as Rolling Stone reports, it is unclear if enough Democrats in Congress are willing to use it to defend trans rights."
Sun 21:50:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ In a country of 340 million people, there are only about 12,000 people under 18 receiving treatment for "tranny issues".
Sun 21:50:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It seems logical to throw another election going after the same 0.01% of voters that made Trump's campaign a cake walk last year.
Sun 21:50:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ :D
Sun 21:51:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Be sure to replace your tranny fluids every 50,000 miles or so.
Sun 21:51:35 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Even if the book doesn't say so.
Sun 21:51:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's important because nobody knows how to fix a tranny anymore.
Sun 21:53:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "Trump wants the Justice Department to “investigate Big Pharma” and hospital networks to determine if they have covered up side effects of gender-affirming care or “illegally marketed” hormones and puberty blockers. He has said he wants the Department of Education to inform states and school districts that any teacher or school official caught suggesting to a child that they might be transgender “will be faced wi

Sun 21:53:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "He has pledged to remove any health care provider or hospital that provides gender-affirming care to trans youth from the Medicaid or Medicare programs, on the grounds that providing such care violates the programs’ federal health and safety standards. Although Trump does not name a federal agency in this declaration, such a policy change would have to be done through the secretary of health and human services or rulemakin

Sun 21:54:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That would take about 6-8 months but it's doable.
Sun 21:54:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Someone could probably get a national injuntion but it would be difficult to keep it in effect for more than a few weeks.
Sun 21:54:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The appeals courts are harder to "shop" because you get either 3 judges or 9 usually.
Sun 21:55:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And there's a pretty even mix on most, excpet a few where Trump managed to name almost all of them.
Sun 21:55:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So forget them.
Sun 22:04:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, They want volunteers to go through the county counting homeless people and talking to them.
Sun 22:04:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Many of them are crazy and dangerous, a lot of them could work and don't want to, some are illegals.
Sun 22:04:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Most people try not to engage because of this.
Sun 22:05:05 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Distrubingly, most of the increase is due to high rents and the horrible Biden jobs market that the news lied about for four years.
Sun 22:05:17 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i don't care
Sun 22:05:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Whenever the news said something bad about the Biden administration, government officials would call and curse them out and threaten them.
Sun 22:06:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The US actually dropped more in Press Freedom under Biden than it did under Trump.
Sun 22:06:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ We fell 5 spots under Biden.
Sun 22:10:53 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ we'll get back to how horrible biden was once you get your pink triangle
Sun 22:12:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You know, that was already inflicted on us by the trannies.
Sun 22:12:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Taco Bell relabeled their bathrooms as "all gender" with purple triangles.
Sun 22:15:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, So what's up with that shit?
Sun 22:15:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ First the Nazis branded us with that, now the trannies are plastering Nazi imagery everywhere and they expect us to believe they are fully sane?
Sun 22:17:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, Ideally, I'd be able to live in one of those rehabbed nuclear missile silos.
Sun 22:17:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Deep deep beneath the ground. Provisions to last forever. No noise or traffic.
Sun 22:18:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ In reality, I get to deal with other people's mental illness and crime and "monkey music" and yelling and dragging their girlfriend down the hallway by her hair in the middle of the night.
Sun 22:18:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And people overflowing their bathtub into my apartment.
Sun 22:19:03 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And a landlord that raises the rent as the building falls apart and people abandon old cars here.
Sun 22:19:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If people would just quit reproducing already, that would be terrific.
Sun 22:20:05 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ they will
Sun 22:20:23 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ corpses can't reproduce
Sun 22:22:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, Meanwhile, from the obituary of mom's second husband...

Sun 22:26:15 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, She never married anyone good, but every one of them was worse than the last one.
Sun 22:34:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, So why would the trannies bring back Nazi imagery?
Sun 22:35:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Do they think that victims of the Holocaust ever want to see that shit again?
Sun 22:35:10 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i don't know, why do you advertise nazis?
Sun 22:35:25 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and why do christians put crosses fucking everywhere?
Sun 22:35:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Well, you know. Because Jesus had to die for some reason before God would change his mind about us.
Sun 22:36:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Don't ask why.
Sun 22:36:23 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ how could a being that is omnipotent, including about the future, change his mind?
Sun 22:36:27 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ oops
Sun 22:36:30 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ s/potent/scient/
Sun 22:36:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Before that, God behaved in violent and random ways.
Sun 22:36:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And enjoyed the smell of animals which were set on fire and flooded the world killing everyone for the actions of a few.
Sun 22:36:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You know, collective punishment.
Sun 22:36:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ :D
Sun 22:38:05 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, These Republican immigration bills coming through, most of them make no sense.
Sun 22:38:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It would force ICE to detain people who are accused (not convicted) of very low level infractions.
Sun 22:38:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ At a cost of billions of dollars per year.
Sun 22:38:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I get the one that says "sex crimes or domestic battery".
Sun 22:38:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But "petty larceny"?
Sun 22:39:09 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ it's their way of teaching you that states don't work
Sun 22:39:20 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ it's not very convincing, but it's the best they can do
Sun 22:39:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The Laken Riley Act has almost nothing to do with what happened to Laken Riley, and wouldn't have prevented it.
Sun 22:40:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ NYC released her killer on low level state charges, ignoring an ICE detainer.
Sun 22:40:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Which would have happened even if the Laken Riley Act had been the law at that point in time.
Sun 22:41:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Nothing in the Act requires NYC to change their policy of ignoring ICE detainers.
Sun 22:41:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It says that ICE has to detain someone accused of those misdemeanors, but only if they get to the jail before they're released.
Sun 22:42:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ In many cases, you only sit in jail for 3-5 hours before they let you go on a promise to appear.
Sun 22:42:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ By the time the FBI gets your prints, two of those hours have already elapsed.
Sun 22:42:45 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ also, they're not republican
Sun 22:42:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So unless ICE gets there in 1-3 hours then they still won't catch you.
Sun 22:42:53 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ republicans don't abolish republics
Sun 22:46:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Someone on Reddit said that the interviewer at USCIS said there had been a surge of citizenship applications in the past couple years from long time green card holders.
Sun 22:47:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So obviously I wasn't the only one that saw Trump as a threat.
Sun 22:47:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If others didn't, that's really their problem I guess.
Sun 22:47:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ A lot of people I know of with DACA, green cards, etc. could have moved faster and they decided to go blow their money at the bar or concerts or something.
Sun 22:50:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvQt-4YyeuU
Sun 22:50:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ :D
Sun 23:03:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, I don't know why so many people wasted all the money they should have been filing for the next step in their immigration/citizenship stuff with.
Sun 23:03:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Trump wasn't a problem that week and they wanted to party I guess?
Sun 23:03:54 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ do i care?
Sun 23:05:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Well, people complain an awful lot without lifting a finger to protect themselves.
Sun 23:06:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So obviously it didn't matter to them until it was too late.

Mon 00:09:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, Someone pushed the abandoned VW out into the street and called the city on it.
Mon 00:09:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Who could that be I wonder.
Mon 00:16:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I'm on the episode of Atlantis with "Graydon".
Mon 00:17:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ McKay accidentally hired the wrong guy, brings him to Atlantis, and gets him eaten by a Wraith queen while the real "Grayson" is safely back on Earth.

Mon 03:01:59 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] China cannot "absorb" what they do not pay. Tariffs cause the cost of American goods to go up. That is normally called inflation. Biden finally got inflation caused by Trump and his pandemic under control. As to tarriffs, I am sure he thought he couldn't undo them with such a Red Congress. He'd be right too. Trump continued to pull the GOP's strings the last 4 years, a shadow government.
Mon 03:02:04 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] No Democrat likes SALT either but the fact they didn't try to undo it doesn't mean they want it. Quite simply they didn't have the votes. Biden would rather spend his time on things he felt he could win. SALT is the fu--ing worst.

Mon 09:20:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Most of them should have never had children. Including my parents.
Mon 09:20:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's been nothing but 40 years of pain and suffering.
Mon 09:20:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The one easy thing I can do is make sure I never give these people grandchildren and pass on their genetics. Their marriage was beyond toxic. It never should have happened, and so now I get half my genome each from two people I despise and literally could not respect any less if I tried.
Mon 09:20:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's not only that boomers are "undisciplined and selfish" as OP pointed out, it's that they had children and then a lot of them didn't bother to put in any of the work. You've got people here saying they didn't get their parents tucking them in bed and reading them stories.
Mon 09:21:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I got a dad who had a "study" full of thousands of dollars of pornography who would openly masturbate all the time with the door hanging open, and he called me "damn it" so much that I could still swear it was my name, and my mother off scheming. I don't know why she would do weird things, like she would always have "something to return" to Hills, and never had the receipt.
Mon 09:21:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Probably returns theft now that I'm old enough to have thought on it. She said my dad would "hoard all the money and was the only one with access to the bank accounts". She'd go write hot checks to check cashing stores and get the prosecutor after her knowing he'd be in there paying them off.
Mon 09:21:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They divorced when I was 15 and then tossed me around like a hot potato. Neither one of them really wanted me at that point, it just became a countdown to when they could kick my ass out of the front door, ready or not.
Mon 09:21:13 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Their divorce judge ordered me into therapy, I talked to him in his chambers and called them a couple of assholes and asked why I had to go to therapy when he should have put both of them in jail until they decided to quit being idiots.
Mon 09:21:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I saw some shit in the boomer generation. I saw dozens of boomers that I knew well enough to have at least some opinion on them, and I have to say that if they want to say any other generation has mental illness, it probably all came from having to be raised by them.
Mon 09:21:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The Silent and Greatest Generations were better, in my opinion. Community minded, churchgoing (I'm not really religious but I'm glad that they had some standards and people weren't just wandering around aimlessly on drugs, in their pajamas, full of tattoos.), built the country.
Mon 09:21:27 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The boomers were where things started to go very wrong. They cheated the crap out of their children and grandchildren (those of you who are old enough to have possibly been my children so....24-25ish and down), and the boomers plan to rack up a bunch of debt and die leaving us with the worst economic catastrophe in the history of the world.
Mon 09:21:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They caused a lot of their children to deal with a life of poverty. Some of us were even falsely promised that taking on enormous student loans would make things good, and then those people ended up down in the trenches with people like me who just went straight to entry level work, only THEY had enormous loans that you can't even file bankruptcy on.
Mon 09:21:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The few people in my generation that "own" a house are just barely paying the mortgage by the skin of their teeth and even then only because they got in while rates were low and weren't busy putting out fires that broke out everywhere in their earlier years.
Mon 09:21:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I'm afraid that the younger generation is dealing with a pile of mental issues created by a "life that just won't get started". Many of them are like my brother, clinging on to an old woman who never made them go look for work, at least until she dies, or they have millennial parents who are just too nice to want them to have to deal with what's going on out there now.
Mon 09:21:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Many in my generation, like me, never really even got to think about having kids, because we have landlords that fell off the boat from India that raise our rent about $100 a month every time the lease is up and use rent software to figure out how badly to screw us this time."

Mon 22:31:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The solution is that the Internet should be segregated between continents. But I wonder if zuckerbot has a plan to fix that."

Mon 22:32:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Should it be separated between continents? I'm not sure. I was generally happy with a national network that mostly just had Americans and some Canadians on it back in the 90s.

Tue 00:50:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, I'm going through the lessons that Mandy's college professor in "Philosophy" and "English Literature" gave him.
Tue 00:50:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Definitely getting some Unabomber and Zodiac Killer vibes from these people, but they are college professors, so that probably explains it.
Tue 00:52:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I don't know what impresses me more.
Tue 00:53:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ 1. The sheer amount of bullshit.
Tue 00:53:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ 2. That someone was paid to sit down and write this.
Tue 00:53:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ or 3. That Mandy stuffed it in a binder and kept it in our coat closet for 6 years.
Tue 00:53:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ College....you know I hate it.
Tue 00:53:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "I went to college."
Tue 00:53:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "I still work at a french fry vat."
Tue 00:54:07 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "I don't know why Philosophy led to a minimum wage job."
Tue 00:54:19 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "MINIMUM WAGE SHOULD BE $50 AN HOUR!"
Tue 00:54:26 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The evolution of a libtard.
Tue 00:54:40 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ uh huh
Tue 00:56:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Oh, I forgot...
Tue 00:56:30 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ "BIDEN SHOULD FORGIVE MY $150,000 STUDENT LOAN! IT WASN'T WORTH $150,000 TO ME SO YOU SHOULD PAY IT!"

Tue 00:57:14 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ What a load of crap.
Tue 00:57:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And now I have to throw all this crap in the dumpster where it belongs.
Tue 00:58:32 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ again, this looks a lot like another topic to discuss after you get your pink triangle
Tue 00:59:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then I run into an actual printed copy of excerpts from the Communist Manifesto because of course I do.
Tue 01:00:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Herr derr derr I should live off other people's work oh the world owes me a living, deedle dum dum dum dum dum.
Tue 01:00:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ :D
Tue 01:01:06 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ All the gender garbage in print form.
Tue 01:01:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There are two genders. Actual Male and Actual Female.
Tue 01:01:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ End of Line.
Tue 01:01:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Then in Canada they have "Actual Example of Untreated Schizophrenia".
Tue 01:02:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I don't get it. It's just a guy in lipstick.
Tue 01:02:27 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Wears a lot of makeup, talks a lot of nonsense.
Tue 01:03:39 │ 〖nobody〗 │ i am almost certain communist party wasn't concerned with males and lipsticks
Tue 01:03:46 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ same
Tue 01:03:50 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ nor with liberalism
Tue 01:04:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The Communists would have said lipstick and makeup were decadent.
Tue 01:04:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And they would have shot trannies.
Tue 01:04:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So there's that.
Tue 01:05:31 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ the past tense is not justified
Tue 01:07:30 │ 〖nobody〗 │ german election campaigning is unusually tame, another 7 weeks
Tue 01:08:16 │ 〖nobody〗 │ recent proposal, minimum wage workers health insurance must be excluded from regular health care or something, because spendings exploded
Tue 01:09:05 │ 〖nobody〗 │ minimum wagers often get trapped into UBI regulations
Tue 01:09:36 │ 〖nobody〗 │ and by coincidence, those who got sick often got lower income
Tue 01:10:07 │ 〖nobody〗 │ i'm listening carefully
Tue 01:10:27 │ 〖nobody〗 │ Trump wants another 5% out of german cash pockets, whatever this got to do with it
Tue 01:11:02 │ 〖nobody〗 │ and the german energy cashflow surplus was investigated having arrived in rich american pockets somewhere
Tue 01:11:17 │ 〖nobody〗 │ as explained by our communist party leader, Wagenknecht, last sunday
Tue 01:12:14 │ 〖nobody〗 │ almost couldn't refrain, Hollywood made enterntainment was worth it
Tue 01:15:57 │ 〖nobody〗 │ MinceR: today public tv presented a noteworthy statistic about hungary
Tue 01:16:36 │ 〖nobody〗 │ almost 90% of yours own privaty property in Orbanistan, while ~40% germans do and all else have to pay inflated appartment rent
Tue 01:17:04 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ woo fucking hoo
Tue 01:17:20 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ too bad it's mostly worthless crap in a worthless crap country
Tue 01:18:07 │ 〖nobody〗 │ at least there's no rent paid for whatever it is
Tue 01:18:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ A world without trannies running around the Web screaming they'll commit suicide "if you don't censor everyone" would be ideal.
Tue 01:18:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ One of the few minor positives of Trump is the censorship is going away, the laws on trannies are reverting to the normal ones.
Tue 01:18:56 │ 〖nobody〗 │ thanks for enriching the conversation IsambardPrince
Tue 01:19:12 │ 〖nobody〗 │ why you're so obsessed with trannies and lipsticks?
Tue 01:19:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I remember growing up without this fucking crap and garbage.
Tue 01:19:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It was a calmer time, when people could just live and breathe.
Tue 01:20:08 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ yeah, the people cheeto hitler and melon worship are so pro-freedom of speech
Tue 01:20:21 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ which is why there's no roskomnadzor or great chinese firewall
Tue 01:20:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The Democrats are the people who passed the law that are the reason you'll have to use a VPN to access a website in America in 5 days.
Tue 01:21:31 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and the "republicans" are the people who abolished the republic
Tue 01:23:55 │ 〖psydruid〗 │ > why you're so obsessed with trannies and lipsticks?
Tue 01:23:55 │ 〖psydruid〗 │ It's their culture
Tue 01:24:51 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ "culture"
Tue 01:24:59 │ 〖psydruid〗 │ exactly
Tue 01:25:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They'll go back to acting normal when it's obvious that throwing a tantrum won't work anymore.
Tue 01:26:03 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ DIE DIE DEI
Tue 01:28:21 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ will you?
Tue 01:28:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Someday, sure.
Tue 01:28:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ My expected lifespan is longer than a tranny's. They lose a lot of years to mental illness.
Tue 01:29:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Much more than bipolar disorder costs a person.
Tue 01:29:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Much more than smoking cigarettes, even.
Tue 01:31:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Uncle Jessica is still alive.
Tue 01:31:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Barely.
Tue 01:32:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Strapped to an oxygen tank from welding and car paint fumes, somewhere between "man" and "woman".
Tue 01:32:27 │ 〖nobody〗 │ call me paranoid, public tv and their spies had prayed upon me again recently
Tue 01:32:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ No Social Security checks because he didn't file taxes.
Tue 01:32:38 │ 〖nobody〗 │ either there's some mole in this channel, or they tapped my appartement
Tue 01:32:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, He's more machine now than man, twisted and evil.
Tue 01:33:20 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ nobody: this channel is publicly logged, as the topic says
Tue 01:33:46 │ 〖nobody〗 │ sure, and they monitor the rss feed of it
Tue 01:33:53 │ 〖nobody〗 │ as if they had nothing better to do
Tue 01:34:43 │ 〖nobody〗 │ then i dial in here with a tor cloak
Tue 01:34:55 │ 〖nobody〗 │ with an alternate nick
Tue 01:35:07 │ 〖nobody〗 │ and again i can't wipe those off my arse
Tue 01:35:49 │ 〖nobody〗 │ it's just, sometimes i appreciate chatting with people about things i'm interested in, without them interferring with their mediocre intellect
Tue 01:36:20 │ 〖nobody〗 │ and i am even less exicted when it's made news of, without financial compensation
Tue 01:38:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Well, the Constitution of Germany is a pretty bad one, honestly, from what I know of it.
Tue 01:39:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It seems to be a staple of most of the Western world that there's very little the government can't do, and then they get horrible people in there taking constant advantage of this.
Tue 01:39:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But it's more subtle than living in fucking Russia or China.
Tue 01:39:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So they say they're "free".
Tue 01:39:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The goal of most of the regimes in Europe is to get people to self-censor.
Tue 01:40:03 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And they create this whole culture and climate of fear.
Tue 01:40:12 │ 〖nobody〗 │ well, i've fired my political bullets several month ago already, seeing to the outcome of the election
Tue 01:40:45 │ 〖nobody〗 │ maybe that's why i received a letter proposing psychological evaluation
Tue 01:40:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Honestly, as fucked as the German political process is, afd is probably the very best you can hope for.
Tue 01:41:04 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ lol
Tue 01:41:31 │ 〖nobody〗 │ the AfD lesbian wants to construct "modern nuclear plants"
Tue 01:41:32 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ if you love ruscism so much, why haven't you moved to orbanistan in 2010?
Tue 01:41:36 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ IsambardPrince: ^
Tue 01:41:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ <nobody> the AfD lesbian wants to construct "modern nuclear plants"
Tue 01:41:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Listen to the lesbian.
Tue 01:41:53 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ we've had this same brand of evil shit for 15 years now
Tue 01:42:08 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ this country is now the poorest member of the EU
Tue 01:42:10 │ 〖nobody〗 │ i do listen IsambardPrince
Tue 01:42:11 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ great success!
Tue 01:42:33 │ 〖nobody〗 │ MinceR: the less money you got, the least EU could suck out carbon tax of your pocket
Tue 01:42:48 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The current German government is so stupid that they shut down all the nuclear plants and relied entirely on Russian gas.
Tue 01:42:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And MinceR says there's something more pro-Russia than that.
Tue 01:43:09 │ 〖nobody〗 │ that was Madame CHancellor Merkel, not the current government
Tue 01:43:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I thought you decommissioned the last nuclear plants like a year or two ago?
Tue 01:43:43 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ merkel did what she could to help orban establish a dictatorship here, with as little friction from the EU (which still advertises itself as valuing democracy)
Tue 01:43:46 │ 〖nobody〗 │ they've got all in common the incompetence which i fear they rather not touch Microsoft(R) breakthrough energy reactor designs
Tue 01:43:47 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ as possible
Tue 01:44:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Someone should drop Merkel into the ocean.
Tue 01:44:06 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ too late
Tue 01:44:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Tie her to Biden, Trudeau, and Macron.
Tue 01:44:35 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ what's in common between these people?
Tue 01:44:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Incompetent evil fucks.
Tue 01:44:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ All in their own way.
Tue 01:44:48 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ they don't love putler as much as you'd like them to?
Tue 01:46:15 │ 〖nobody〗 │ MinceR: we got political terror attacks in germany, with cars smashing into christmas market crowds
Tue 01:46:35 │ 〖nobody〗 │ by glad Hungarian christmas markets do not need heavily armed police guards
Tue 01:47:11 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ people here are pussies
Tue 01:47:32 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ also, there's nothing of value to rob people of here
Tue 01:47:59 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ but hey, afd's going to make germany a lot poorer too
Tue 01:48:34 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ the more countries get fucked up by orban's allies, the better orbanistan will look in comparison
Tue 01:48:41 │ 〖nobody〗 │ i don't trust AfD, they changed their political campaigning fundementally
Tue 01:48:49 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ wow, someone is learning here
Tue 01:49:06 │ 〖nobody〗 │ 10 years ago they went into opposition of EU/ECB violationg their _own_ contracts
Tue 01:49:34 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ on the downside, orbanistan is highly dependent on germany, so if the afd tanks the german economy, orbanistan will look even worse
Tue 01:49:52 │ 〖nobody〗 │ nowadays it's unusually quiet with regards to this topic, i would assume the lesbian beauty already wishthinked a thousand financial miracles herself
Tue 01:50:39 │ 〖nobody〗 │ we've run out of money here, simple as that
Tue 01:51:01 │ 〖nobody〗 │ we can't bail out our own hospitals nor military anymore, leave alone any other country
Tue 01:51:43 │ 〖nobody〗 │ the main election campaign narrative is focussed on low-income people
Tue 01:51:54 │ 〖nobody〗 │ it's probably all my fault, working 70hours/week for less than minimum wage
Tue 01:52:24 │ 〖nobody〗 │ well, i'm no "journalist" a.k.a governmen-sponsored spie
Tue 01:53:08 │ 〖nobody〗 │ MinceR: i've not changed my mind, AfD changed theirs
Tue 01:53:11 │ 〖darwin〗 │ Muslim nationalists (Syrians, Turks, but probably from all countries with many) have been threatening to invade Greece and destroy Athens, and takeover other/all parts of the West, such as on Twitter/X. I reported one such incident saying they'd do these things, and it was ignored (maybe automated, or moderated by the Arabians owning part of Twitter/X)... I will send this to schestowitz again soon
Tue 01:53:48 │ 〖darwin〗 │ i.e., Twitter/X says it doesn't break rules, despite threat to invade and 'destroy Athens completely'
Tue 01:54:08 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ yeah, foreigner bad
Tue 01:54:17 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ except for the fellow nazi/commie ones
Tue 01:54:37 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ there's time to exterminate those once everyone else is dead
Tue 01:54:55 │ 〖nobody〗 │ AfD had not been opposed to immigration, initially the followed the same argument as all other "democratic" parties did
Tue 01:55:08 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ blah blah blah
Tue 01:55:08 │ 〖nobody〗 │ arguing for "cheap workforce", just like "russian gas" was cheap
Tue 01:55:53 │ 〖nobody〗 │ well, for electricity they stamped 60cents/kWh, for the little gas/war-water it was 150cents/kWh last year
Tue 01:56:31 │ 〖darwin〗 │ i also reported some Twitter/X accounts for extreme insults including libel of possible crimes they didn't commit, which was also against rules--maybe no longer due to free speech--also all ignored
Tue 01:56:43 │ 〖nobody〗 │ government doesn't publish credible statistics, what the price tag for immigration was
Tue 01:57:04 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ blah blah blah
Tue 01:57:42 │ 〖nobody〗 │ the guy who crashed a vehicle into a christmas market crowd announced his activity in advance in Twitter/X, he even posted directly to ministry of the interior
Tue 01:57:51 │ 〖nobody〗 │ *on
Tue 01:58:13 │ 〖nobody〗 │ fun one about this, german politics argued they needed more mass surveillance in return
Tue 01:59:50 │ 〖psydruid〗 │ to surveil the "islamophobe"
Tue 02:00:04 │ 〖nobody〗 │ 70000 followers on twitter, had given several prominent interviews to german newspapers
Tue 02:02:06 │ 〖nobody〗 │ the reason it's unusually quiet still, Saudi Arabia was designated World Soccer Champtionchip host by FIFA
Tue 02:02:16 │ 〖nobody〗 │ and well, Saudi Arabia wants back his citizen
Tue 02:02:41 │ 〖nobody〗 │ after this guy killed 5 people
Tue 02:03:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ <@MinceR> yeah, foreigner bad
Tue 02:03:32 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I don't know. I thought some of their stuff was good.
Tue 02:03:41 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Cold as ice.... :P
Tue 02:04:01 │ 〖nobody〗 │ for all we know, it's not "renewable energy" which refuels german cars here
Tue 02:04:33 │ 〖psydruid〗 │ he can go back to Saudi Arabia after rotting in jail for 30 years
Tue 02:05:08 │ 〖nobody〗 │ he had articulated demands, for more immigration to germany
Tue 02:05:40 │ 〖nobody〗 │ it's not the first time political argument was articulated with a car or knive
Tue 02:06:27 │ 〖nobody〗 │ since recently, my immmigrant neighbors seem less friendly than usual, who knows which letters had arrived
Tue 02:06:42 │ 〖nobody〗 │ all i had seen was the energy bills of this appartment block exploding since when they arrived
Tue 02:08:49 │ 〖nobody〗 │ it is 10 appartments, one is occupied by myself, my consumption was less than 0.3% of the total, for heating/warm-water
Tue 02:09:26 │ 〖nobody〗 │ now imagine how this extrapolates to urban centers which are occupied by >90% of this type of demographics
Tue 02:10:11 │ 〖darwin〗 │ overall third-world/Muslim immigrants have been a net cost, not benefit to the West, except maybe a few countries (and more others than Muslims) or maybe more second-world ones. Politicians focused on economic growth say they want doctors & engineers (such as from average 45 IQ countries) then we get people coming in and going to the bathroom in people's yards, committing all types of crass/violent crimes
Tue 02:10:53 │ 〖darwin〗 │ then because of the crimes, mass surveillance and restrictions/jail-time from speech online increased
Tue 02:11:37 │ 〖nobody〗 │ the saudi was a trained medic/psychiatrist, known as "doctor google" for consulting online search while diagnosing patients
Tue 02:11:41 │ 〖darwin〗 │ Muslim gang-rapists of children got community service, while people saying mean things online get two years jail time, then sometimes got killed by Muslims or suicided in jail
Tue 02:11:47 │ 〖psydruid〗 │ here recently more and more buildings have been blown up
Tue 02:12:04 │ 〖nobody〗 │ today politics argued, "hey, they were paying taxes here, and mustn't return home hence"
Tue 02:13:23 │ 〖darwin〗 │ here illegals don't pay some taxes, though a minimal amount pays some and improves the economy, doing farmwork Americans don't do... but we have tens millions more than just for that, including mass (violent criminal) gangs doing takeovers of areas
Tue 02:14:13 │ 〖darwin〗 │ but USA already has a program for seasonal farmworkers to come legally
Tue 02:14:55 │ 〖nobody〗 │ there's no legal basis whatsoever for the type of immigration arranged for by politics; some agreement existed between Turkey and Germany which was terminated in 1970s already
Tue 02:15:03 │ 〖darwin〗 │ there's not a reason to have a single illegal one, which majority Americans including in both major parties generally agree on
Tue 02:15:12 │ 〖nobody〗 │ and that was a few hundred thousand workers welcomed, not dozens of millions we got nowadays
Tue 02:15:59 │ 〖nobody〗 │ there's a reason a legal basis was necessary, beginning with EU contracts, all of which was violated severly
Tue 02:16:16 │ 〖nobody〗 │ Orban didn't, just saying, that's why, ironically, he was attacked by EU apparatus
Tue 02:17:33 │ 〖darwin〗 │ some claimed there was a reason, and others said there wasn't. I guess the reason was smaller population after WW2, but it's like Germany & Italy forgot before and during WW2, they took major economic incentive measures to increase native population growth, which worked very well and almost made them win. They should've kept those measures
Tue 02:17:55 │ 〖darwin〗 │ Axis was the strongest economies in the world before and during WW2
Tue 02:18:21 │ 〖nobody〗 │ that's all past, the related agreements had been termianted in 1970s already, due to the oil crisis at that time ("Anwerbeabkommen")
Tue 02:18:54 │ 〖nobody〗 │ all immigration ever since was in most severe violation of national and international law
Tue 02:19:44 │ 〖nobody〗 │ even inner-europen migration is often, because various countries violated EU contracts (finance, stability, EU border protection)
Tue 02:20:08 │ 〖darwin〗 │ the UN encouraged it and have a public document on one their website advocating 'population replacement', also known as the 'great replacement' which shows (unlike cabal-led biased/extreme Wikipedia) is a conspiracy and not conspiracy theory
Tue 02:21:09 │ 〖darwin〗 │ that doesn't mean it's international law--there isn't really such thing, as UN isn't a government (just informal and anarchy and ideas enforced by 'great powers')--but others might claim it's encouraged/specified by 'international law'
Tue 02:21:30 │ 〖nobody〗 │ it's become dangerous for politicians, those who went into opposition are dead: Fortuyn, Haider, and i might have forgotten one or another
Tue 02:22:28 │ 〖nobody〗 │ Austria intends to instate a "far-right" chancellor (they aren't, they're liberals mostly), won't make a difference, because it's too late
Tue 02:23:29 │ 〖nobody〗 │ and all of them have to appease allies such as Quatar and the Saudis, who try to dictate into our politics with their soccer oil shitcoins
Tue 02:25:27 │ 〖nobody〗 │ when Trump became POTUS in 2016 iirc, his first travel was Saudi Arabia, dancing and swinging a sword with them
Tue 02:26:00 │ 〖nobody〗 │ it's a similar global dance with China, our elections are mostly irelevant
Tue 02:26:39 │ 〖nobody〗 │ i was listening carefully, what they're saying... "german industry in decline due to absense of 'cheap russian gas'"...
Tue 02:26:57 │ 〖nobody〗 │ nonsense, industry had outsourced to china with shitloads of cheap russian gas available for decades before
Tue 02:27:25 │ 〖nobody〗 │ the majority of Volkswage are produced and sold in china, and fueled with Saudi or whichever oil/gas there
Tue 02:27:50 │ 〖nobody〗 │ n
Tue 02:29:08 │ 〖nobody〗 │ it's entertaining how, "german" politicians argue nowadays for their election campaign, it was supposedly a low-income person such as myself at fault
Tue 02:29:19 │ 〖nobody〗 │ working +70hours/week for less than minimum wage
Tue 02:29:46 │ 〖nobody〗 │ although, that's all "unproductive incompetitive" and "distanced to Micros~1 (R) labor market"
Tue 02:30:19 │ 〖nobody〗 │ finally i had received a letter proposing psychological evaluation because i dared to question some energy bills at financial department of theirs
Tue 02:30:47 │ 〖nobody〗 │ nope, that wasn't Russia nor Hungary nor China, that's "Germany", 2025
Tue 02:33:09 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ well, i propose a psychological evaluation for you for what you've written here so far
Tue 02:34:10 │ 〖nobody〗 │ gladly, it's all written and documented in public
Tue 02:36:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ https://www.wbez.org/education/2025/01/10/a-looming-demographic-cliff-fewer-college-students-and-ultimately-fewer-graduates
Tue 02:36:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Oh no, not the colleges where they load them up with debt!
Tue 02:36:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MAH ECONOMY!!!!
Tue 02:37:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ People worried there are less children: Colleges, pedophiles, oligarchs.
Tue 02:37:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Hmmm, better have more kids I guess!
Tue 02:38:35 │ 〖nobody〗 │ that's another propaganda lie "democrats" were telling for decades... "need moar children, need moar migrants, pension fund empty"
Tue 02:39:11 │ 〖nobody〗 │ well, it's a plausible argument at least, which had to be verified with evidence then, three decades later
Tue 02:39:31 │ 〖nobody〗 │ population size _increased_, dozens of millions of immigrants mainly, that's a fact
Tue 02:39:48 │ 〖nobody〗 │ and too it's a fact pension fund is drained
Tue 02:40:42 │ 〖nobody〗 │ our medicare announces bancrupcy all over the place, meanwhile immigrant workforce was supposed to keep costs low, not at record height as it is
Tue 02:40:56 │ 〖nobody〗 │ that's a fact, not some wishthink or something
Tue 02:41:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You refill the pensions by having unemployable angry young men apparently.
Tue 02:42:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The flaw in their logic was they sent all the work to Chinese factories with suicide nets so the whole "the kids will get jobs later and pay taxes" part never happened.
Tue 02:42:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So Social Security dies.
Tue 02:42:49 │ 〖nobody〗 │ don't forget, they'll grow old too
Tue 02:44:21 │ 〖nobody〗 │ and they're not cheap either, it's notable amount of saudi finance dumped into the multi-cultural paradise we got here
Tue 02:44:54 │ 〖nobody〗 │ just as said, it's real dangerous to raise critical voice, and i rather stay alive a little while longer than wasting my time and breath for a lost cause
Tue 02:45:45 │ 〖nobody〗 │ i just don't give a shit about smirking "independent" "journalists" in soccer stadiums

Tue 02:52:09 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ so, what's the One True Culture you people are going to allow to exist?
Tue 02:52:28 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ to start with, what religion is the one that people aren't going to be executed for following?
Tue 03:06:48 │ 〖psydruid〗 │ that's an easy one, Pastafarianism
Tue 03:07:11 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ :)
Tue 03:07:15 │ 〖psydruid〗 │ and the culture is going to be that of Pastaglorification
Tue 03:09:48 │ 〖nobody〗 │ who's "you people"?
Tue 03:10:31 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ mainly you and IsambardPrince
Tue 03:11:30 │ 〖nobody〗 │ nowadays there's only one religion and that's money
Tue 03:11:45 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ i'd ask afd about that before supporting them, just to be sure
Tue 03:11:51 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ but hey, it's your survival, not mine...
Tue 03:12:40 │ 〖nobody〗 │ don't worry, my existence, my whole life and work are ruined
Tue 03:13:28 │ 〖nobody〗 │ i don't need a goverment psychiastrist to diagnose me with that
Tue 03:14:42 │ 〖nobody〗 │ but i have a suspicion and theory, a few of my spoutings did affect one or another election result slightly
Tue 03:15:30 │ 〖nobody〗 │ maybe that's why some of this infantile politics mob got a little nervous
Tue 03:16:05 │ 〖nobody〗 │ but must important there's one thing i can't do, that's bringing justice
Tue 03:16:26 │ 〖nobody〗 │ i know they'll simply get away with their murderous corruption and crime again, and there's nothing i could do about it
Tue 03:16:35 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ well, at least they're making aiming easier

Tue 03:42:31 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ <@MinceR> to start with, what religion is the one that people aren't going to be executed for following?
Tue 03:42:37 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You don't want me to answer this.
Tue 03:42:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ We'd start throwing them all out.
Tue 03:42:57 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Probably liquidate the Muslims.
Tue 03:43:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Send the rest to re-education camps.
Tue 03:43:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Burn the churches, burn the "holy" books.
Tue 03:44:00 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ We could have ourselves a little bonfire and dance around them like wild injuns!
Tue 03:44:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ (The Warden from the Shawshank Redemption.... :P)
Tue 03:44:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I would not have a holocaust, but I'd probably forcibly sterilize the felons.
Tue 03:45:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The idea is that this batch of people draining the state while sitting in prison should be the last huge wave.
Tue 03:45:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Mass deportations? Well, I agree with Homan.
Tue 03:45:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If you're here illegally, you've got a problem.
Tue 03:46:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ In many ways, I do agree with Trump's platform, and in many ways, I don't.
Tue 03:46:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ For example, the idea of fundamentalist Christians with more power is horrific.
Tue 03:46:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There shouldn't even be a Christianity.
Tue 03:46:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It shouldn't be allowed.
Tue 03:47:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Once everything has been rebalanced, the quality of the next generation will show a staggering improvement.
Tue 03:47:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ MinceR, Aren't you glad you asked?
Tue 03:48:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Just one prisoner costs society $68,000 a year.
Tue 03:48:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They're not a healthy bunch, so a lot of this is medical costs.
Tue 03:48:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They get in there and you find out they have everything you can imagine.
Tue 03:49:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ TB, HIV, HepB, HepC, just everything.
Tue 03:49:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Some of them cost millions of dollars in cancer treatments, and they killed an infant or something.
Tue 03:49:44 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ And we have to pay $4 million to keep that guy alive in prison.
Tue 03:52:58 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ 14 044649 < IsambardPrince> There shouldn't even be a Christianity.
Tue 03:53:13 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ have you cleared this with the people you support and voted for, though (whoever they are)?
Tue 03:53:38 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ from what i've heard, both the "democrats" and the "republicans" disagree with this
Tue 03:53:50 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ There's nobody to vote for that agrees with me.
Tue 03:54:01 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ we're finally making some progress
Tue 03:54:58 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ but even if we assume that you two get what you wished for, and exterminated everyone who disagrees, what then?
Tue 03:56:14 │ 〖admfubar〗 │ https://www.osnews.com/story/141522/wordpress-is-in-trouble/
Tue 03:56:20 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ is that where the love affair with cheeto hitler ends, for example?
Tue 03:57:28 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and how does a christian fundamentalist ruling party hold on to power after exterminating its own power base anyway?
Tue 04:00:03 │ 〖admfubar〗 │ https://www.rawstory.com/elon-musk-tiktok/
Tue 04:00:35 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ think bigger, buy communist china
Tue 04:02:16 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ > So we would go from TikTok being owned by the Chinese to someone born outside the U.S. using it as a weapon
Tue 04:02:26 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ someone born outside the U.S. is already using it as a weapon, dumbass
