00:09 DaemonFC; MinceR, Cost of being wrong and buying too much cat food is minimal.
00:09 DaemonFC; If I'm wrong, I just have another 3-4 months of cat food on hand to rotate through.
00:10 DaemonFC; If I'm right, I could walk in one day, not be able to buy any cat food even if I'd pay $100 a bag for it if there was some.
00:10 DaemonFC; And watch my cats starve.
00:10 DaemonFC; I don't know what the production problem really is here.
00:10 DaemonFC; But there likely is something.
00:11 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Times were different in the 80s and 90s.
00:12 DaemonFC; When people found out Traci Lords was underage, there was a run on the porn stores to buy up all of the video tapes and magazines before they could take them all down.
00:12 DaemonFC; The penalty was so small for trafficking in underage porn back then that I found a 1987 article in California.
00:12 DaemonFC; Where a man selling 19 video tapes with a 15-17 year old Traci Lords on them was convicted.
00:13 DaemonFC; It was a Class A Misdemeanor, they only charged him with one count. He paid a $1,000 fine and did a few weeks in jail.
00:13 DaemonFC; Nobody had a sex offender registry back then, so when he got out, he had pretty much no lasting impact from the conviction.
00:14 DaemonFC; It wasn't a problem anyone paid much attention to, probably because it wasn't happening on a large enough scale as far as anyone was aware of.
00:15 DaemonFC; Even as recently as 2003 and 2004, there was the Cobra Video case, with Sean Paul Lockhart ("Brent Corrigan").
00:15 DaemonFC; It turned out he was 16-17 in some of those movies, and letting him do the videos wasn't even the first offense that the owner of the company committed.
00:16 DaemonFC; Several years prior, in 2000 I think, the guy had been caught with a pornographic video he made for himself with a 15 year old sex partner, and one of the "Cash 4 Kids" judges in Pennsylvania was the judge in the case.
00:16 DaemonFC; Dismissed the charges.
00:16 DaemonFC; The owner of the company was murdered in an unrelated incident though.
00:17 DaemonFC; From what I heard, they had trouble identifying the body, because the killers set the house on fire with gasoline and teeth do this popcorn thing when the corpse burns up.
00:18 DaemonFC; MinceR, How would you like to be a police detective.
00:18 DaemonFC; Homicide division.
00:18 DaemonFC; Especially in a major city.
00:18 MinceR; no thanks
00:18 DaemonFC; I'd probably get a kick out of being in Vice.
00:19 DaemonFC; Arresting pimps, prostitutes, johns, and perverts.

00:27 DaemonFC; "Some parents told WGN News that the request and other precautions made them feel safer about sending their kids back to the classrooms."
00:27 DaemonFC; Yes, because nobody is going to lie about this to get extra days out of school.
00:27 DaemonFC; Also, once the one test is performed, it won't get into the school later.
00:28 DaemonFC; Are you fucking kidding me? If COVID was out there when I was in school I'd take another week off on winter break and screw around playing video games.
00:29 MinceR; 10 011923 < DaemonFC> Arresting pimps, prostitutes, johns, and perverts.
00:30 MinceR; i didn't realize it was a crime to be called John
00:30 DaemonFC; It's a term for a person who patronizes a prostitute.
00:30 MinceR; i thought it was a name :>
00:30 DaemonFC; That too.
00:31 DaemonFC; MinceR, The amusing thing about English is that patronize and patronize can mean two things even though it's spelled the same way.
00:31 MinceR; :>
00:31 DaemonFC; Depending on whether the first a is long or short.
00:33 DaemonFC; If they ever arrest me for patronizing a prostitute, I'll be sure to look at the judge and say "Gee, I'm really sorry about that, your honor. I certainly wouldn't want to give her the impression that I was smarter or superior to her just because she's a prostitute. I mean, my God. Some people have to do that to feed their children. What kind of a person do you think I am, anyway? I hope this clears the air and I'm free to leave now.".

00:39 DaemonFC; Nobody else understands you when you do this.
00:39 DaemonFC; "Chawbacon"
00:40 DaemonFC; Another word for a rube, a hillbilly, a hick, a provincial person, a hayseed, a yokel.
00:40 MinceR; :)
00:41 DaemonFC; "Chaw is an alteration of chew that is still used in some English dialects, especially in rural areas. Cured pork, or bacon, was a staple of some rural folks diets in the past. Since the 16th century, chaw has been combined with bacon to create a ludicrous name for an uncultured yokel. Over the centuries, the word has lent its delicious dialect flavor to a wide range of publications, but it has become less common in recent decades. Today
00:41 DaemonFC; , city dwellers are as likely as country folk to chow down on bacon, and the word chawbacon isnt often on the lips of either group."
00:51 DaemonFC; Speaking of bacon, I found a way to make it better.
00:52 DaemonFC; Dip it in sriracha mayo.
00:52 DaemonFC; I don't know what's wrong about "chaw"ing on bacon.
00:52 DaemonFC; Bacon is the food that makes other food worth eating.

09:27 DaemonFC; El Camino was a good movie, but what distracted me was the amount of weight that
09:27 DaemonFC; Jesse Plemons managed to put on between Breaking Bad ending in 2013 and El Camino in 2019.
09:27 DaemonFC; Due to his scenes being flashbacks to 2013, it really jumps out at you if you go from one to the other.
09:27 DaemonFC; I like his acting as "Todd" though. The whole psychopath thing going on.
09:28 DaemonFC; Killed his housekeeper because she found his stash of drug money in some carved out world books.
09:29 DaemonFC; Then forces Jesse to help him bury her in the desert. And his eulogy is "Nice lady. Excellent housekeeper.". Then he asks Jesse to grab his other pack of cigarettes, and Jesse finds a gun, and Todd wants it back and says they can go have beer and pizza.
09:29 DaemonFC; He doesn't really have to be too concerned though. The Nazi gang has threatened to go back and kill that woman's kid if Jesse tries anything.
09:30 DaemonFC; I laughed when Pinkman calls Todd "Ricky Hitler".
09:30 DaemonFC; Like leave it to beaver meets Hitler.
09:30 DaemonFC; Sure.
09:32 DaemonFC; I feel like Todd probably would have been a good guy if he'd had a decent family, some role models.
09:32 DaemonFC; I believe the biggest single factor in how children turn out is parenting.

13:41 schestowitz[TR]; techuser: rsync is a superset of sorts
13:41 schestowitz[TR]; also more reliable
13:41 schestowitz[TR]; as it integrates checksums at the end
13:41 schestowitz[TR]; not just crc
13:42 schestowitz[TR]; i typically rsync twice
13:42 schestowitz[TR]; or use differeent addresses
13:42 matteobin; rsync rocks!
13:42 schestowitz[TR]; like hostname and ip address
13:42 schestowitz[TR]; for example, for all the irc logs
13:42 schestowitz[TR]; then I check output from --verbose
13:42 schestowitz[TR]; because sometimes things might not work correctly in the background
13:43 schestowitz[TR]; network downtimes, terminated job...
13:43 schestowitz[TR]; the code is in our git server
13:43 schestowitz[TR]; i made it a little more robust last week
13:43 schestowitz[TR]; following an incident
13:44 schestowitz[TR]; iirc, this march this irc network/channel turns 15
13:44 schestowitz[TR]; MinceR and amarsh are probably the oldest regulars, cubezyx has not logged in lately
13:45 schestowitz[TR]; and all the logs are public
13:45 matteobin; Congrats!
13:45 matteobin; Even if I'm not a fan of public logs.
13:46 schestowitz[TR]; everyone inside a channel has logs
13:46 schestowitz[TR]; direct personal messages aren't public and I never ever looked into any
13:47 matteobin; I know, and I like this server. However I'm not sure about public logs.

13:52 psydruid; so much drama
13:52 schestowitz[TR]; oh, ok
13:53 schestowitz[TR]; coc is not a new issue
13:53 schestowitz[TR]; but they codified stupidity
13:53 schestowitz[TR]; to make it "ofrmalised"
13:53 schestowitz[TR]; this way the rich (read: corporations) can censor communities
13:53 schestowitz[TR]; to make themselves immune to critics
13:53 schestowitz[TR]; so they can call psydruid or me "tociv"
13:53 schestowitz[TR]; and exclude us not jkust from employment
13:53 schestowitz[TR]; but also community, volunteer comms
13:54 schestowitz[TR]; you see the extremity of it in pocock's situation
13:54 schestowitz[TR]; then they start chasing them in other projects
13:54 schestowitz[TR]; from fsfe to debian
13:54 schestowitz[TR]; and from debian to arach
13:54 schestowitz[TR]; to not only make it hard toi find employment
13:54 psydruid; I wonder if whole groups of people are already being excluded from employment for having the wrong ideas about computing
13:54 schestowitz[TR]; but even another project to contriobute to
13:54 schestowitz[TR]; that's where swine like gulagtroll comes in
13:54 schestowitz[TR]; this is what they do
13:54 schestowitz[TR]; pentagon boot lickers
13:54 schestowitz[TR]; killing people
13:54 schestowitz[TR]; with a smile and "sjw" flair
13:55 schestowitz[TR]; what you deal with is a sociopath
13:55 schestowitz[TR]; with a lust for money
13:55 schestowitz[TR]; skinny bald aging man
13:55 schestowitz[TR]; with insecurfities
13:55 schestowitz[TR]; attaacking critics of the pantagon
13:55 schestowitz[TR]; but framing that as a "Social" issue
13:55 schestowitz[TR]; even if the attack;'s target is very sociable
13:55 schestowitz[TR]; and left-leaning
13:55 psydruid; he would have been a social outcast in earlier times
13:55 schestowitz[TR]; pocock faught a lot for aboriginal people in australia
13:55 schestowitz[TR]; lots of activism to that effect in the 1990s

13:57 schestowitz[TR]; I can take a screensot
13:57 psydruid; he knows himself better than anyone else does
13:57 schestowitz[TR]; gulagtroll chose a pink pig face as his avatar
13:57 schestowitz[TR]; in debian
13:57 psydruid; he looks like a pig
13:57 schestowitz[TR]; now debian replaces HAMASman (elana) with him
13:57 psydruid; so why shouldn't he have a pink pig for his avatar
13:57 schestowitz[TR]; so they swap one trouble with another
13:57 schestowitz[TR]; people who defame the very founde rof gnu/linux
13:57 schestowitz[TR]; which is what debian is
13:58 schestowitz[TR]; they attack the very origin of the org they're occupying committee position in
13:58 schestowitz[TR]; this was done in FSF too
13:58 schestowitz[TR]; and had been attempted at EFF, they finally broke through
13:58 schestowitz[TR]; and defang those orgs
13:58 schestowitz[TR]; like they did Freedom of the Press Foundation
13:58 schestowitz[TR]; co-founder by Assange and Barlow IIRC
13:58 schestowitz[TR]; the co-founder of EFF
13:59 schestowitz[TR]; and Wikileaks's founder
13:59 schestowitz[TR]; or co-founder
13:59 schestowitz[TR]; then taken over by omidyar's goons
13:59 schestowitz[TR]; basically billionaires
13:59 schestowitz[TR]; omidyar killed the snowden leaks
13:59 schestowitz[TR]; you can connect the dots
13:59 schestowitz[TR]; and see that many of these cliques owork for the pantgon, some without even realising it
13:59 schestowitz[TR]; they are siccing them
14:00 schestowitz[TR]; against org
14:00 schestowitz[TR]; and egg them on under the guise of "social" "justice"
14:00 schestowitz[TR]; but in fact they work to protect peoplek who commit war crimes
14:00 schestowitz[TR]; not a new pattern of social coercion, suppressing, oppression
14:00 schestowitz[TR]; d
14:00 schestowitz[TR]; dressed up as the very opposite of what it is in pricatice
14:01 schestowitz[TR]; figosdev mentioned it months ago
14:01 schestowitz[TR]; in relation to the feminist movement
14:01 schestowitz[TR]; and how it was undermined from within
14:01 schestowitz[TR]; it was the same with antiwar after vietnam
14:01 schestowitz[TR]; same tricks
14:01 schestowitz[TR]; mjg does damage to trans peopole
14:01 schestowitz[TR]; many trans people are lovely people and friends of mine
14:01 schestowitz[TR]; but I cannot tolerate the troll
14:01 schestowitz[TR]; who isn't even trand
14:02 schestowitz[TR]; but claims to speak for them
14:02 schestowitz[TR]; like some claim to speak for women
14:02 schestowitz[TR]; but aren't
14:02 schestowitz[TR]; he is transphobic
14:02 schestowitz[TR]; he admitted it in IRC
14:02 schestowitz[TR]; he changed his mind only when he started to get aroused and had sexual interest in 'buffy'
14:02 schestowitz[TR]; unlike him, I don't have history attacking them
14:02 schestowitz[TR]; he does
14:02 schestowitz[TR]; and yet we're meant to think of him as a "rep" for themn
14:02 schestowitz[TR]; :-) screw that :-)
14:03 schestowitz[TR]; like guys who label themselves "feminists"
14:03 schestowitz[TR]; and then start attacking "misogynist" women
14:03 schestowitz[TR]; exactly thr same thing
14:03 schestowitz[TR]; and the net effect is,
14:03 schestowitz[TR]; the outsider is repelled
14:03 schestowitz[TR]; and the real movement goes away

14:06 TR News; The battery on main laptop dying away; without even having been used much over the years. The material in today's batteries has a short 'expiry' date.
14:07 TR News; By contrast, the PDA manufactured 20 years ago still has a functional battery. Sure, it does not last longer than a few hours anymore, but at least it works. Newer is not better when a cabal of colluding, price-fixing, oligopolistic firms aim to make products that "expire" within a few years.
14:08 TR News; When it comes to battery tech, there's also a sort of "shrinkflation" but not in the size sense; it's about longevity; and now they glue or solder things in so you cannot swap them out either!
14:09 TR News; If corporations were held accountable for crimes that hurt PEOPLE (i.e. not their own laws that they lobbied for, e.g. banning repairs), many executives, i.e. largely sociopaths, would be behind bars. It's a rich men's world.
14:09 schestowitz[TR]; fwiw, further to the above, the fascists made up terms like "feminazis"
14:10 schestowitz[TR]; they use the straw man
14:10 psydruid; pierre omidyar is another one of those nasty sociopaths
14:10 schestowitz[TR]; the most militant people, who might in fact be plants and moles
14:10 schestowitz[TR]; disscretiding the legit people
14:10 schestowitz[TR]; good thing it wasn't tried on india
14:10 schestowitz[TR]; or south africa
14:10 schestowitz[TR]; mandela did some violent things
14:11 schestowitz[TR]; but if there was another mandela or Gandhi that engages in suicide bombing, there would be no public sympathy
14:11 schestowitz[TR]; israel uses those tactics against all palestinians, collectively
14:11 schestowitz[TR]; same tactics that fake femists use
14:11 schestowitz[TR]; *feminists

14:23 psydruid; oh, they aren't in last place anymore
14:23 schestowitz[TR]; they lifted a trophy 2 years ago
14:23 psydruid; they may survive this season
14:23 schestowitz[TR]; i stopped watching games
14:23 schestowitz[TR]; boycott after nufc and qatar
14:23 schestowitz[TR]; bribery is considered ok now
14:23 schestowitz[TR]; and then ronaldo
14:24 schestowitz[TR]; catastrophy
14:24 schestowitz[TR]; catastrophe
14:24 schestowitz[TR]; sportwashing costs them a lot
14:24 psydruid; the game is turning ugly because of all of that money
14:24 schestowitz[TR]; so we need to make it fail

14:24 schestowitz[TR]; almost 200,000,000,000 dollars
14:25 schestowitz[TR]; after that saudi-backed twitter escapade
14:25 psydruid; qatar was basically sold to argentina
14:25 schestowitz[TR]; football is finished
14:25 schestowitz[TR]; done
14:25 schestowitz[TR]; it's sold to tycoons
14:25 psydruid; to placate messi and his friends
14:25 schestowitz[TR]; you basically cheer for oligarchs now
14:25 schestowitz[TR]; not local teams
14:25 schestowitz[TR]; PCFC is only one local
14:25 schestowitz[TR]; Phil Foden
14:25 schestowitz[TR]; they should call it Foden FC
14:25 psydruid; it was so obvious in the way they had to become world champions
14:25 schestowitz[TR]; one local and his pop group
14:26 schestowitz[TR]; hires guns from all around the word
14:26 schestowitz[TR]; ld
14:26 psydruid; what use is watching and/or attending such an event
14:26 psydruid; yes
14:26 schestowitz[TR]; spain, PT, Algeria, Norway..
14:26 schestowitz[TR]; Foden et al
14:26 schestowitz[TR]; like a musician
14:26 schestowitz[TR]; he's the lead singer
14:26 schestowitz[TR]; and they're the assitance
14:26 schestowitz[TR]; funded by OURGENEROUSSPONSOR
14:26 schestowitz[TR]; Beyonce brought to you by Nike
14:26 psydruid; at my "local" team we get youth players coming through all the time
14:26 psydruid; one was sold to Liverpool recently
14:27 schestowitz[TR]; Foden FC sponsored by $200-per-barrel
14:27 schestowitz[TR]; rianne also boycotts that now
14:27 schestowitz[TR]; we only check the table
14:27 schestowitz[TR]; not scores or footage, not even photos
14:28 schestowitz[TR]; i can hear the chants from the desk
14:28 schestowitz[TR]; hard to ignore, I know exactly when they score
14:28 psydruid; I can understand that she's disgusted at what has happened to the whole game
14:28 schestowitz[TR]; days ago I heard four goals
14:28 psydruid; and I'm afraid things may go in that direction here too
14:28 schestowitz[TR]; vs chelsea
14:28 psydruid; yes
14:28 psydruid; I watched it on another laptop
14:28 schestowitz[TR]; mufc may still be bought by oil tycoon
14:28 schestowitz[TR]; PL #1`
14:28 psydruid; but is that it?
14:29 schestowitz[TR]; Emirate stadium
14:29 schestowitz[TR]; #2 Dubai Oil
14:29 schestowitz[TR]; #3 Saudi Oil
14:29 psydruid; spend hundreds of millions or even billions to build the best football teams?
14:29 schestowitz[TR]; #4 British offshore drilling
14:29 psydruid; that doesn't have anything to do with the game we love anymore
14:29 psydruid; maybe better to watch other sports instead
14:30 schestowitz[TR]; in the 90s we played fantasy football
14:30 psydruid; or play some of them yourself
14:30 schestowitz[TR]; it didn't look good
14:30 schestowitz[TR]; but it was fun
14:30 schestowitz[TR]; now fantasy football is real
14:30 schestowitz[TR]; tycoons wwho NEVER KICKED A BALL
14:30 schestowitz[TR]; buying players from catalogues
14:30 schestowitz[TR]; and MIGHT even watch a game
14:30 schestowitz[TR]; to them it's about evading tax
14:30 schestowitz[TR]; like Ballmeer and his thigh thigh perks in basketball
14:31 schestowitz[TR]; football was culture
14:31 schestowitz[TR]; not anymore
14:31 schestowitz[TR]; it got bought by the riuch too
14:31 schestowitz[TR]; they don't kick a ball
14:31 schestowitz[TR]; but they control the people who kick the ball and watch the kicking
14:31 schestowitz[TR]; it's becoming like gladiators in rome
14:32 schestowitz[TR]; mbs: hang on, I want to check the score of 'my' team, then we'll get back to making the next batch of beheadings
14:32 schestowitz[TR]; lists
14:32 schestowitz[TR]; not just Jamal
14:32 schestowitz[TR]; in xmas they did mass decapiutations as usual
14:32 schestowitz[TR]; I don't support Newcastle fans were told this by the lcacl papers
14:32 schestowitz[TR]; *local
14:33 schestowitz[TR]; maybe mbs can buy the local media there toio
14:33 schestowitz[TR]; he already bribes many british papers since before he wqas "crown price"
14:33 schestowitz[TR]; *prin e
14:33 psydruid; nufc fans are happy because their foreign legion is close to the top again
14:34 psydruid; thanks to generous saudis
14:35 schestowitz[TR]; i quit tracking that years ago
14:35 schestowitz[TR]; but most british papers were bribed by the family of "crown prince"
14:35 schestowitz[TR]; their arabic erik prince
14:35 schestowitz[TR]; iirc, Independent wasd like the last major british paper to still cover saudi atrocities
14:35 schestowitz[TR]; and afaik they later bribe it too
14:36 schestowitz[TR]; it's just A QUESTION OF price
14:36 schestowitz[TR]; like with Ronaldo
14:36 schestowitz[TR]; he doesn't care abnout the game
14:36 schestowitz[TR]; but about money
14:36 schestowitz[TR]; after all
14:36 schestowitz[TR]; moiney he does not need and can never use fully
14:36 schestowitz[TR]; does nufc has a single local in the team
14:37 schestowitz[TR]; they grabbed a good c=oach from the south
14:37 schestowitz[TR]; Howie iirc
14:37 schestowitz[TR]; software is similar
14:37 schestowitz[TR]; many don't know this, but
14:37 schestowitz[TR]; a lot of us agra is china and saudi owned
14:37 schestowitz[TR]; a lot in clifornia (silicon valley and SF) is also saudi -funded
14:37 schestowitz[TR]; so the US politicians are afraid to "criticise" or "insult" KSA
14:38 schestowitz[TR]; the ironic thing is
14:38 schestowitz[TR]; you have total croazies like gulag troll
14:38 schestowitz[TR]; who work for these firms
14:38 schestowitz[TR]; speaking for rights of people
14:38 schestowitz[TR]; who in saudi would be decapitated
14:38 schestowitz[TR]; they 'compartmentalise' this away
14:38 schestowitz[TR]; they are the saudi-funded "activists"

21:55 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
21:55 DaemonFC; 1992: Mr. Steve's Car Wash, in Marion, Indiana.
21:55 DaemonFC; $4 and they thoroughly washed and waxed.
21:55 DaemonFC; Guys got in, chucked the trash, wiped interior down and vacuumed it while it was on the line. You could tip them, of course, but it was still totally reasonable.
21:55 DaemonFC; 2023: "Automatic" car washes are all that are left.
21:55 DaemonFC; They want $20, don't hire anyone, and hardly use any soap.
21:55 DaemonFC; Always bird shit left on the window.
21:55 DaemonFC; Then you vacuum the car yourself. Coin-op.
21:55 DaemonFC; Mild Inflation to go with your mild Omicron?
21:55 DaemonFC; Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
21:55 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
21:55 DaemonFC; So since the automatic car wash is an EPIC FAIL, I only go there in the winter when I have no choice.
21:55 DaemonFC; It got up to 50 F today so I went out and hand washed my car.
21:55 DaemonFC; Pretty sad that with a dollar in supplies I can make sure that the thing gets properly washed and waxed and there's zero bird shit, but the "automatic" wash is so miserly with the soap and everything, you have to pull around and go through again using your "five day rewash guarantee".
21:56 DaemonFC; Guaranteed you need to rewash it immediately.
21:56 DaemonFC; Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
21:56 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
21:56 DaemonFC; Mr. Steve's was from a different time. You paid $4, they did everything. And you watched it going through and getting washed a second time in the tunnel to make sure they got everything.
21:56 DaemonFC; Now it's $20... squirt squirt, and pull a 360 so you can scan the 5 day rewash.
21:56 DaemonFC; Road salt likes to get into EVERYTHING and people buy these new cars and don't wash them and they're a rustbucket in 3 years.
21:56 DaemonFC; I'm not happy when I go through the wash and have salt streaks coming out of my door handles already.
21:56 DaemonFC; Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
21:56 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
21:56 DaemonFC; So the car wash price going up 500% while they don't even get your car clean and fire everyone.
21:56 DaemonFC; How does the government figure that into inflation? 500% more for a car wash that uses 30% as much stuff and your car comes out dirty, and then there's half a dozen guys per shift that don't have jobs and can't afford anything in the economy anymore?
21:56 DaemonFC; I miss the 90s more every day.
21:56 DaemonFC; If I could have an entire decade to live in on a loop, groundhog day, the 90s.
21:56 DaemonFC; Starts with Sega, ends with Napster.
21:57 DaemonFC; Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
21:57 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
21:57 DaemonFC; 90s: Hey I need to go to Taco Bell to get some burritos with guacamole and Wild sauce. Not to be confused with MILD. Wild with a W!
21:57 DaemonFC; What's that? I'm higher than a kite and ready to demolish a bag full of burritos for $5?
21:57 DaemonFC; Bring on the cooking lard like there's no FDA, biznatch!

22:02 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
22:02 DaemonFC; People in the United States are just the most politically stupid people in any country that allows voting, at all.
22:02 DaemonFC; They want a government that's all powerful, and manipulates and corrupts everyone's existence and takes their freedoms away and burns them in an open pit and says "What are any of you going to do to stop us?".
22:02 DaemonFC; But they can't decide if they want Nazis or 1970s Republicans doing it to them.
22:02 DaemonFC; Both sides getting billions from Microsoft based on who promises more bailouts and tax cuts.
22:04 DaemonFC; Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
22:04 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
22:04 DaemonFC; Moles backed by Microsoft and the CIA like Matthew Garrett in charge of Debian.
22:04 DaemonFC; What could possibly go wrong?
22:04 DaemonFC; Debian is not Free anymore. It's basically just Broken Fedora with Old Packages.
22:04 DaemonFC; So why bother with it?
22:04 DaemonFC; It used to be deserving of respect, but any organization that puts Matt GULAG in charge of something has fallen beneath contempt.
22:05 DaemonFC; Who voted on this? Not the users. Anyone that knows the guy wouldn't vote for him to be the damned dog catcher.

22:12 DaemonFC; Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
22:12 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
22:12 DaemonFC; I'm very, very much a supporter of the Second Amendment.
22:12 DaemonFC; I'm hoping that the Supreme Court strikes down the Illinois FOID Act and the law requiring Concealed Carry Permits.
22:12 DaemonFC; Raising the age to 21 to buy a firearm is enforceable without a FOID Card system, at the store level. You make it a felony to sell to someone under 21 and you run sting operations. Badaboom.
22:12 DaemonFC; As for FOID Cards, unnecessary.
22:12 DaemonFC; Record the serial numbers and save them and run NICS checks....like they do now. Federal law.
22:12 DaemonFC; Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
22:12 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
22:12 DaemonFC; Conceal and Carry Permits don't make any sense.
22:12 DaemonFC; If you have law abiding citizens walking around with a handgun in an openly displayed holster, do you think anyone is going to cause trouble around them?
22:12 DaemonFC; In Indiana, we had open carry, and after I left they passed open carry without permits, and not even in their most crime-riddled neighborhoods are the shootings and murders as bad as they are in Chicago and the suburbs.
22:13 DaemonFC; Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
22:13 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
22:13 DaemonFC; You don't get rid of crime by disarming the people who aren't criminals.
22:13 DaemonFC; Instead of throwing the criminals away forever and misplacing the key, the Democrats keep passing more laws that only affect the people who care whether they have 8 pages of felonies or not.
22:13 DaemonFC; The people with 8 pages of felonies get caught with illegal handgun because what's page 9 at that point anyway?
22:15 mjg59_; DaemonFC: If people wanted to read your Toots, wouldn't they just follow you in the Fediverse rather than relying on you pasting them into IRC?
22:15 DaemonFC; I have followers.
22:16 DaemonFC; About the only people who get killed in Indiana are criminals killing other criminals, and the occasional cop that tries to interfere.
22:16 DaemonFC; And amusingly, they did far worse to a DEA agent whose cover was blown in the town I used to live in than shooting the guy.
22:16 DaemonFC; He should have been that lucky.
22:17 DaemonFC; They tied him to a bed and poured kerosene all over him and set the bed on fire.
22:18 DaemonFC; So you can't even chalk that up to guns at all.
22:18 DaemonFC; They were pissed and they wanted him to suffer greatly.

22:22 DaemonFC; Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
22:22 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
22:22 DaemonFC; So I did a binge watch of Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, and El Camino.
22:22 DaemonFC; I wondered if anyone could do "Heisenberg" level methamphetamine.
22:22 DaemonFC; So I looked it up. It turns out that around the timeline of Breaking Bad, most meth cooks switch to "P2P", and the "purity" according to the DEA went up from an average of 65% to 96% between 2007 and 2019.
22:22 DaemonFC; Heisenberg (Walt) could do 99%, but most people who learned his method could do upwards of 90.
22:22 DaemonFC; The biggest difference is it's a very slight yellow.
22:22 DaemonFC; Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
22:22 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
22:22 DaemonFC; The effect of the "anti-precursor" laws for Pseudoephedrine means that you can get a visit from Johnny Law if you have bad sinuses, but the people making meth just went to "old school biker meth" and it's more potent than ever.
22:23 DaemonFC; The government, ladies and gentlemen.
22:26 DaemonFC; <mjg59_> DaemonFC: If people wanted to read your Toots, wouldn't they just follow you in the Fediverse rather than relying on you pasting them into IRC?
22:26 DaemonFC; So how is my least favorite Deep State asset today?
22:26 DaemonFC; Life treating you good? Any major complaints?
22:29 DaemonFC; https://dynomight.net/img/p2p-meth/seizures3.svg
22:30 DaemonFC; Around 2002 is when states started passing precursor laws. By 2005, the feds had one too.
22:30 DaemonFC; And for a while, meth seizures fell quite noticeably, as seen in the chart.
22:31 DaemonFC; But by 2007, meth cooks started ramping up Phenylacetone (P2P) production, just like Walter White in the Breaking Bad series.
22:33 DaemonFC; By 2020, the meth problem was back and worse than ever, and as more people learned to do a P2P cook, seizures of methamphetamine skyrocketed to over 130 tons in 2019. Up from just 10 tons in 2007, and 20 tons in 2002. (DEA)
22:34 DaemonFC; To make matters even worse, since the purity went up from 65% to 96%, those 130+ tons have the chemical potency of almost 200 tons of the old stuff.
22:34 DaemonFC; You want a really bad problem, just let the government solve it for you.
22:34 DaemonFC; They handled meth and now there's (effectively) ten times more than ever before.
22:35 DaemonFC; They handled "affordable healthcare" and now people pay 10x more for insurance that they can't even use because the deductibles are 8 times higher.
22:35 DaemonFC; They handle "gun violence" in Illinois. Illinois is more violent each year.
22:36 DaemonFC; They "rescued" the economy in 2020 and restaurants that were getting $20 gross on eggs now pay $100 while millions more people are out of work and the cost of a bag of cat food has tripled.
22:37 DaemonFC; See how it works?
22:37 DaemonFC; "You are being rescued. Please do not resist!"
22:37 DaemonFC; Government doesn't solve problems. The government IS the problem.
22:38 DaemonFC; The nine scariest words in the English Language are "I'm from the government and I'm here to help.".
22:41 DaemonFC; Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
22:41 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
22:41 DaemonFC; So an American walks into a car dealership and says "I want a Ford Lightning.". The guy at the counter says, "Sure thing, all we need is a deposit and we'll try to get you one in five years.".
22:41 DaemonFC; The guy pays the deposit and says "Now, should I come back in the morning or the afternoon?".
22:41 DaemonFC; Guy looks at him, and says "Why do you care? You're not getting the car for five years.".
22:41 DaemonFC; The customer looks him in the face and goes, "Well yeah, but it's just that I've got the plumber coming in the morning."
22:41 DaemonFC; Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
22:41 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
22:41 DaemonFC; The funniest thing about the last joke is I ripped it off (the structure) from Ronald Reagan talking about the Soviet Union in 1988.
