00:00 DaemonFC; The big wigs push all the liability down to branch tellers and loan officers who commit the actual fraud and then when the government comes in they can say "We never told them to do anything illegal."
00:01 DaemonFC; No, you just implied look for another job, and oh, you have a mortgage, two cars, and a wife and kids? Well, hope you find another job that pays what this one does.
00:01 DaemonFC; So these people are like all people. They start doing whatever they have to do to go home and not break the bad news to the family and then go upstairs and shoot themselves.
00:03 DaemonFC; schestowitz New Landlord seems to be knocking out windows and putting in brand new air conditioners and then boarding up the hole where the old one went.
00:03 DaemonFC; We might ask if we can just move across the hall when he's done with that unit and everything will be new.
00:03 DaemonFC; It'd be the easiest move I've ever made. Grab stuff. Put it in the next room over.
00:04 schestowitz; hmmm
00:04 schestowitz; with global warming and rules, this might be just hi seeking compliance
00:04 schestowitz; and ticking all the boxes
00:04 schestowitz; so he can put tenants in
00:05 schestowitz; it looks like this "bargain" is already costing him a lot
00:05 schestowitz; it is, to him, what the old buick was to you
00:15 DaemonFC; Yeah, Mark sez "Oh I haven't had to buy an air conditioner in years." Mark thinkz "Yeah, I just let half of them break and Ryan and Mandy were lucky enough to get one that's just loud. Oh my God this guy is a wet dream. He didn't even pay $5,000 for a real inspection but he has $2.3 million just for me. I can pay off all my debts and laugh while swimming in money. Reminder: Change phone...
00:15 DaemonFC; ...number after sale."
00:16 schestowitz; not swimming in money
00:16 schestowitz; he pays back SOME of the debt
00:16 schestowitz; probably has more debt left
00:17 DaemonFC; If it was going to be so easy to jack up the rent and kick his feet back, Mark would have just done that years ago.
00:17 schestowitz; "has $2 million in debt, have $2.4+ in estate" does not mean financial issues
00:17 schestowitz; as you neighbour put it
00:17 DaemonFC; He probably didn't really want rid of this place.
00:18 DaemonFC; He probably racked up so much debt all over that it was the only choise.
00:18 DaemonFC; *choice
00:18 DaemonFC; I looked at his other buildings.
00:18 DaemonFC; No for sale listings on them, BUT....
00:18 DaemonFC; According to property value trends, they're worth less than he paid for them in 2006.
00:19 DaemonFC; He paid $406,000 for the one down the corner in 2006 and it could sell for $168,000 now.
00:19 DaemonFC; According to Redfin, and Zillow and the rest aren't much different.
00:19 DaemonFC; So he didn't sell those because he's underwater and he'd lose money on the sale, but he owns the title can can just keep renting them out.

00:20 DaemonFC; This is the only building that he could easily sell and realize a profit.
00:20 DaemonFC; So what he did was make a tactical move. He found a buyer who was willing to overpay, a lot.
00:20 DaemonFC; And rolled with it.
00:20 DaemonFC; And then he didn't have to sustain a book loss.
00:21 DaemonFC; He keeps the properties that have inverted and rents them out and hopes things get better later.
00:21 DaemonFC; schestowitz The restaurant industry is in deep shit.
00:22 DaemonFC; They raised prices too far, too fast, and now they slip you the difference with rebates and stuff.
00:22 DaemonFC; If you know where to look.
00:22 schestowitz; we stoppped going
00:22 schestowitz; compltelt
00:22 DaemonFC; We went to Panda Express today.
00:22 schestowitz; poverty is the "new normal"
00:22 DaemonFC; They gave me a 25% rebate and then I used my 5% card to pay the rest.
00:22 schestowitz; and the oligarchs pass new laws
00:22 schestowitz; to "protect us"
00:23 DaemonFC; schestowitz At a 30% discount, hell yeah, Panda Express....
00:23 DaemonFC; But like, if I have to go in there and pay the menu price, I won't.
00:23 DaemonFC; It's like a gut punch these days.
00:24 DaemonFC; Everything you go in and pay is a gut punch.
00:25 schestowitz; cook at home
00:25 DaemonFC; schestowitz I laughed. Walmart is apparently doing induction and fuel system cleaning service now.
00:25 DaemonFC; $20.
00:25 DaemonFC; They have an oil flush kit too. $10 on top of an oil change.
00:25 DaemonFC; I don't know about it. Valvoline makes the flush solution.
00:26 DaemonFC; It's one of those pour it in and start the engine and let it gargle the stuff for 10 minutes. Then change the filter and oil.
00:26 DaemonFC; I doubt Valvoline would risk ruining their reputation making something that destroys engines.
00:27 DaemonFC; There's sludge flush products that are too harsh and flush ALL the gunk out at once and even eat up seals and gaskets.
00:27 DaemonFC; There's ones that just clean a little gunk and you should run them through every now and then.
00:27 DaemonFC; Since it's impossible to tell the customer which is which, OEMs usually just say don't ever do an engine flush.
00:28 DaemonFC; When half of them are so bad they'll ruin engines and the other half are fine you don't want to tell the customer that it's fine to do them.
00:28 DaemonFC; It's the same with fuel additives.
00:28 DaemonFC; GM says don't use anything except what they sell you, but the truth is there's plenty of good ones, and there's plenty of bad ones.
00:28 DaemonFC; There's also ones that just don't work.
00:29 DaemonFC; Techron is perfectly safe to use in just about any gas engine.
00:29 DaemonFC; It's the same detergent they use in Chevron or Texaco gasoline, it's just a bigger dose.
00:30 DaemonFC; The problem with Techron is that people wait until they're having such a bad problem out of their engine from shitty fuel that the stuff in a bottle doesn't do anything anymore.
00:31 DaemonFC; The Techron is a good "Every few thousand miles." thing if you start with an engine that's already clean.
00:31 DaemonFC; I had to break down and get an induction and injector service at a shop before my fuel problems went away in the Buick.
00:31 DaemonFC; That old lady carboned the engine up pretty bad.
00:32 DaemonFC; schestowitz Yes, the New Landlord bought a 1971 building.
00:32 DaemonFC; I mean, he thought there were going to be no problems after half a century of landlords going "You know what? I don't want to do more than mow the lawn and replace the water heater when it completely shits itself."?
00:33 *eidolon has quit (Quit: )
00:33 DaemonFC; The mentality of a landlord is let the building fall apart while they extract as much rent as possible, then sell it to the next guy.
00:34 DaemonFC; That's why there should be laws to encourage units that are owned by the people that live in them.
00:34 DaemonFC; Landlords create urban decay.
00:34 DaemonFC; It's not a new observation.

00:47 DaemonFC; The first day that he got back.
00:47 DaemonFC; I'd say it's looking like it may go to him.
00:48 DaemonFC; There's still a few other candidates apparently.
00:48 schestowitz; can you read a draft?
00:48 DaemonFC; I don't know if they have a FOID card.
00:48 schestowitz; took ages to work on
00:48 DaemonFC; Part of that job was selling ammo. So it was a good thing I got Mandy a card.

00:52 DaemonFC; And Microsoft changed their search algorithm, so DDG is showing my blog now. But it is still unfortunate that the choices are basically Google or Microsoft.

01:01 schestowitz; it was unrelated
01:01 schestowitz; i just jump in
01:01 DaemonFC; It might not attract the attention you want to provoke.
01:01 schestowitz; to refute a liee
01:01 schestowitz; what happened last week had nothing to do with me
01:02 schestowitz; i just happen to know similar things happened before
01:02 schestowitz; and can prove it
01:03 schestowitz; timing purely a coincidence
01:03 schestowitz; rianne thought the timing was rare chance
01:03 schestowitz; same happened with lastpass breach
01:04 schestowitz; they confirmed it just after I had left
01:04 schestowitz; so I could warn clients
01:07 DaemonFC; schestowitz The reason I run into so many problems with the simple stuff on my car is that everyone, even the dealers, want to have lower skill jobs go to a guy they pay less.
01:07 DaemonFC; So they have entry level jobs for oil and tires. So they might do a great job on an engine rebuild and then balance your tires wrong.
01:07 schestowitz; anyway, this is not military secrets
01:07 schestowitz; it's a blunder
01:07 schestowitz; and I protect here victims
01:07 schestowitz; I myself am a victim
01:07 DaemonFC; Mandy wondered about taking a job in the tire center at Walmart.
01:08 DaemonFC; I told him he'd like it a lot less.
01:08 schestowitz; so it would be very "bad look" to paint me as the issue
01:08 DaemonFC; More risk of injury. No air conditioning.
01:08 DaemonFC; He'll get dirt and oil and brake dust all over himself.
01:08 DaemonFC; Same pay.
01:08 DaemonFC; Cars are really pretty gross.
01:09 DaemonFC; There aren't many out there that don't throw nasty stuff all over the place while they're driving around.
01:09 *techrights_guest_582 (~ad318a13@q8ban9vyag5t6.irc) has joined #techrights
01:09 DaemonFC; Certainly the people going in to Walmart and asking for the cheapest oil change aren't as meticulous as I am.
01:10 DaemonFC; schestowitz Today there was a Japanese guy that went in there and asked for an oil change. The service manager told him it would be a couple hours because they were running behind today. The guy said that was fine. Comes back 15 minutes later and wonders why they're not done and asks for his keys back.
01:10 DaemonFC; The most popular thing to do at Walmart is anticipate the wait. The whole thing is designed to get people into the store. The oil changes aren't a major profit center.
01:11 DaemonFC; So a lot of people drop their car off at Walmart and find something else to do. Like go there on Sunday and then have a friend take them to church and go eat out and come back for the car later.

01:27 DaemonFC; Let's turn to our resident SUE-PER genius.
01:27 DaemonFC; Matt Gulag.
01:28 DaemonFC; Matt?
01:28 DaemonFC; mjg59_: What do you think about the thousands of Microsoft-signed malware modules certified by the Windows Hardware Quality Lab?
01:28 DaemonFC; Do you think they should be eligible for SECURE BOOT?
01:28 DaemonFC; As part of the TRUSTED CHAIN?
01:30 MinceR; why would his opinion on those be different from being locked into booting one of the least secure PC OS-es available today?
01:30 MinceR; it's "secure" because you don't get to control what your own property does.
01:30 DaemonFC; "Still, there are exceptions most notably, one for drivers signed with certificates that expired or were issued prior to July 29, 2015. If a newly compiled driver is signed with non-revoked certificates that were issued before that date, it won't be blocked. "As a result, multiple open source tools have been developed to exploit this loophole," Neal wrote. And while Sophos reported that it...
01:30 DaemonFC; ...had uncovered more than 100 malicious drivers, Neal said Cisco Talos "has observed multiple threat actors taking advantage of the aforementioned Windows policy loophole to deploy thousands of malicious, signed drivers without submitting them to Microsoft for verification...."
01:30 DaemonFC; "Microsoft, in response to our notification, has blocked all certificates discussed in this blog post," he noted."
01:31 DaemonFC; Blaming "open source" instead of the truck-sized hole in Windows.
01:31 DaemonFC; Tut tut, looks like rain.
01:31 DaemonFC; Tut tut.
01:31 MinceR; sounds like business as usual for MICROS~1 and their munchkins
01:32 DaemonFC; I like how Microsoft only bothered to close the hole after someone pointed the sewer of malware.
01:32 DaemonFC; :)
01:32 DaemonFC; They were no doubt aware of it.
01:32 DaemonFC; In fact, a lot of it was probably from various governments.

01:35 DaemonFC; They would have been clear to land without Luke Skywalker, but he blew their cover by drawing Vader's attention. But it worked out better in the end. :)
01:37 DaemonFC; It's not clear whether the stolen Imperial shuttle itself was part of Palpatine's plan to draw the Rebel Alliance into the trap. He may have simply leaked out a bunch of bad information knowing they'd devise a way to get in.
01:37 DaemonFC; Depends on whether Palpy is a micromanager.
01:37 DaemonFC; Nobody likes a micromanager.
01:38 DaemonFC; Given Vader being genuinely curious about the shuttle, it's likely Palpy didn't plan on this in particular. He would have probably informed Vader.
01:39 DaemonFC; You hold back information from people you think could damage you with it somehow.
01:39 DaemonFC; Palpy keep Vader pretty much fully informed about everything because he overestimated (as it turns out) his ability to control him.
01:39 DaemonFC; Hence, "Your overconfidence is your weakness."
01:40 DaemonFC; MinceR: Being a megalomaniac has its downsides I guess.
01:41 DaemonFC; The Star Wars universe keeps getting more and more watered down, especially under Disney.
01:42 DaemonFC; Like, every minor character has to have a spin off, or a movie, or a show on Disney Plus.

01:43 DaemonFC; I'm just waiting for the movie where we get to see Sebulba's story.
01:43 DaemonFC; The pod race was both the worst part of Episode 1 and one of the best video games.
01:44 DaemonFC; Episode 1: Racer was a pretty good game on the Dreamcast at least.
01:44 DaemonFC; The two things I would have cut from Episode 1 would be the pod race and the Mitichlorians thing.
01:45 DaemonFC; Also, make the battle droids less ridiculous.
01:45 DaemonFC; But that's something Lucas clearly did "for the children".
01:46 DaemonFC; You feel like the pod race is something they threw in because they genuinely couldn't figure out how to get it to movie-length runtime and decided to break away to Space NASCAR.
01:47 DaemonFC; I don't know why Jar-Jar was everyone's complaint about that movie. I could just about tolerate him. He would be like #4 on my list of complaints after Space NASCAR, dumbing down The Force, dumbing down killer robots.

01:55 DaemonFC; My mom is a slob.
01:55 DaemonFC; She used to run mismatched used car tires on her cars that she bought from some gas station with a garage attached to it.
01:55 DaemonFC; That's a great way to have a car accident.
01:56 DaemonFC; You don't know the age or history of each tire. They didn't even come off the same car, probably. They have wear patterns from whatever was wrong with the car and wheel they were one before.

01:57 DaemonFC; He was found guilty of vehicular manslaughter and civil liability for wrongful death.
01:57 DaemonFC; Because the state investigated and found that when the guy bought the tires, some of them were over 10 years old.
01:58 MinceR; iirc the point of space nascar was to demonstrate that anakin is so powerful with the force it makes him fast enough to compete in a race where humans are supposed to be too slow
01:58 DaemonFC; It doesn't matter what the tire looks like, if it's over 6 years old you should start to consider getting rid of it.
01:58 DaemonFC; Even if all you can afford are the cheapest NEW tires.
01:59 DaemonFC; If you decide to keep running them anyway, 10 years is sort of a "GET RID OF IT RIGHT NOW" age.

02:30 DaemonFC; schestowitz I just gave Mandy a haircut with the kit and the vacuum cleaner.
02:30 DaemonFC; There's $30 in my pocket instead of theirs.
02:30 DaemonFC; I'll be next in a week or so.
02:31 DaemonFC; If Walmart wants their employees to have proper haircuts maybe it should think about giving them their hours back so professional grooming will be in the budget.
02:31 DaemonFC; :)
02:32 DaemonFC; schestowitz Did you see that McDonalds worker budget that they had made up.
02:32 DaemonFC; If you don't spend any money on healthcare or heating or air conditioning and you hardly eat and you get a second job then it balances!
02:35 schestowitz; and a second jab
02:35 schestowitz; or lose the job

03:21 bnchs; our designers spent a ton of time on it

03:22 DaemonFC; I mean an adjustable rate mortgage.
03:22 schestowitz; ah
03:22 DaemonFC; Those are for chumps unless interest rates are very high and you expect them to fall later.
03:22 bnchs; reminder that L-1 visa has no wage or labor protections
03:22 schestowitz; never heard that acronym here
03:22 schestowitz; anyway, i never borrowed money
03:23 schestowitz; sorry, not stupid enough
03:23 bnchs; and a company was caught getting L-1 workers hired for 1.21 dollars a hour and working up to 122 hours a week
03:23 DaemonFC; schestowitz Paying with a credit card then paying in full at the end of the month is sort of just borrowing from yourself.
03:23 schestowitz; bnchs: exactly
03:23 DaemonFC; As long as you pay the STATEMENT BALANCE there's never any interest.
03:23 schestowitz; it's exploitative
03:23 DaemonFC; So you get the points.
03:23 schestowitz; in reddit they might file it under,
03:23 schestowitz; LateStageCapitalism
03:23 bnchs; H-1B visa has wage and labor protections at least
03:24 bnchs; you HAVE to pay a H-1B worker as much as you would pay a US citizen
03:24 DaemonFC; If you pay the MINIMUM PAYMENT you just kick the can another month.
03:24 bnchs; and treat them as well too
03:24 DaemonFC; Like MARISOL.

03:25 schestowitz; kids can walk on them
03:25 schestowitz; they have soft foot skin

03:25 bnchs; 1.21 an hour was WAY lower than california's (the company's state of origin) minimum wage of 8 dollars a hour
03:26 bnchs; and obviously they knew this
03:26 schestowitz; wpw
03:26 schestowitz; wow
03:26 schestowitz; what's min in morocco
03:26 schestowitz; an hour ago I had some chillies grown there
03:26 schestowitz; at 1.2 an hour
03:26 DaemonFC; Minimum wage in Illinois is like $15 an hour now.
03:26 schestowitz; 10 per day
03:26 bnchs; 2970 DH a month
03:26 bnchs; but you might aswell ignore that
03:26 schestowitz; for rice or flour that's maybe enough for 3 people
03:26 bnchs; because it's not even enforced
03:26 DaemonFC; So all the shitty landlords raise the rent assuming all their victims can pay it. Then nobody gets a raise.
03:27 bnchs; with all the corruption around
03:27 DaemonFC; Just higher rent and taxes.
03:27 schestowitz; what about rent, meds..
03:27 DaemonFC; The Democrats don't mention how this works.
03:27 DaemonFC; Less jobs.
03:27 DaemonFC; More rent. More tax.
03:27 schestowitz; not really
03:27 DaemonFC; The Democrats raised the minimum wage because they saw how much they could raise in tax revenue, then spend.
03:27 schestowitz; you spout out your mom's nonsense now
03:28 schestowitz; there are two issues
03:28 schestowitz; min wage
03:28 schestowitz; and price gouging
03:28 schestowitz; don't treat them as one
03:28 schestowitz; deal with both
03:28 bnchs; schestowitz: you get people paid less than minimum wage and the police turning a blind eye because they're bribed
03:28 schestowitz; yeah
03:28 schestowitz; here also
03:28 schestowitz; soert of
03:28 schestowitz; you know my salary?
03:28 schestowitz; i was paid same as my wife and more than one colleague
03:29 schestowitz; he was from brazil
03:29 schestowitz; so they took advantage of himmm
03:29 DaemonFC; I suppose the 15% rent hikes that coincided with the minimum wage increases are just a total coincidence even though those only happen where the minimum wage went up.
03:29 schestowitz; got a masters degreee in londoj
03:29 schestowitz; they paid him 21k a year to work around the clock
03:29 schestowitz; technical job
03:29 DaemonFC; Mom's rent in Indiana at the new place isn't even $700 a month and it's got two bedrooms.
03:29 schestowitz; we didn't even know
03:29 schestowitz; until another colleague spoke to him
03:29 schestowitz; and they compared
03:29 schestowitz; it's likely illegal
03:29 DaemonFC; I used to rent from the same guy that she's renting from now, where she's moving out.
03:30 schestowitz; because they pay two or more people different wages for exactly the same role
03:30 schestowitz; but would he sue? no.
03:30 DaemonFC; He never raises the rent if he knows you can't pay it.
03:30 schestowitz; that would cause him to lose the job
03:30 DaemonFC; So I went 7 years without a rent hike.
03:30 schestowitz; so a catch-22 of sorts
03:30 DaemonFC; 6 of them without a lease.
03:30 DaemonFC; He frequently ends up renting to bad tenants that destroy his buildings and don't pay him.
03:30 schestowitz; DaemonFC: your mom iss a sad story
03:30 schestowitz; bless her, hard worker
03:30 schestowitz; worked her whole life
03:30 DaemonFC; And then he chased mom out with rent hikes.
03:31 schestowitz; cheated on husband
03:31 schestowitz; who would not teough her
03:31 schestowitz; germophobe
03:31 schestowitz; *touch
03:31 schestowitz; then got robbed by many other guys
03:31 schestowitz; and here she is, living with the son
03:31 schestowitz; and going broke
03:31 DaemonFC; Robbed, beaten, cheated on.
03:31 schestowitz; even her pension plundered
03:31 schestowitz; but ti's OK, God did it!
03:31 DaemonFC; Pension stolen by the Catholic church.
03:31 schestowitz; so it's OK
03:31 DaemonFC; I told her "retire" while they're still going to pay her something.
03:32 schestowitz; divide plan
03:32 DaemonFC; Finally at the end she starts taking my advice on some things.
03:32 schestowitz; do the best, ryan's mom

03:32 DaemonFC; I had to twist her arm to get her to move into a place that's 30% bigger with 30% lower rent.
03:32 schestowitz; to invest in new galaxy properties
03:32 DaemonFC; And now that she's almost in she can't believe she was ever going to stay.
03:32 schestowitz; she liteerally put that money there
03:32 schestowitz; "ANNNNNND it's gone!"
03:33 schestowitz; we have lots of space here
03:33 DaemonFC; schestowitz It's a good deal to put some of Mandy's pay into the 401(k) plan.
03:33 schestowitz; but the neighbours are... well, something
03:33 DaemonFC; The part Walmart matches and where the feds give us a tax credit of 50%.
03:33 schestowitz; they test the limits
03:34 DaemonFC; I mean, anything higher than that is just risk with no upside.
03:34 schestowitz; how many sweaty men you can squeeze into a home for a small family
03:34 schestowitz; never mind health and safety rules
03:34 schestowitz; zoming violation

03:37 DaemonFC; My Aunt was the director of nursing for the Indiana state prison system.
03:37 DaemonFC; They outsource it to a private company that doesn't do a hell of a lot.
03:38 DaemonFC; They were even allowing communicable diseases to go untreated and kill people.
03:38 TR News; The press coverage regarding Activision is ABSOLUTELY AWFUL. NO EFFORT put in. WTH???????
03:38 DaemonFC; People just assume you get healthcare in prison and not really.
03:38 DaemonFC; People were getting cancer and dying without pain killers or proper medical care.
03:38 TR News; Terrible journalism, twisting the narrative, just like Microsoft asked https://www.dw.com/en/microsoft-chinese-group-hacked-government-email-accounts/a-66203763
03:38 TR Bot; Chinese group hacked government email accounts DW 07/12/2023
03:38 DaemonFC; That's basically the kind of healthcare companies like Corizon give to prisoners.
03:39 DaemonFC; Nobody cares what's going on in there. They're not only prisoners. 80% of them are black prisoners.
03:39 DaemonFC; So no medical care.
03:39 DaemonFC; Bonuses for not treating anything, even AIDS.
03:40 TR News; Not to be overlooked: how mainstream media barely mentions shitGPT anymore. The hype is over, the PR/SPAM budget is a lot lower now.
03:40 DaemonFC; This is the sort of country that would invite people like Matt GULAG in and give them a hearty welcome.
03:40 DaemonFC; And he's the sort of person who would move here.
03:40 schestowitz; he helped the US
03:40 schestowitz; he took a large loan

03:40 schestowitz; he took some "property"

03:41 schestowitz; it depends
03:41 schestowitz; it has good areas too
03:41 schestowitz; but not many
03:41 schestowitz; they are also fenced
03:41 schestowitz; or walled
03:41 schestowitz; when I was in Florida it was the same
03:41 DaemonFC; In India, you see the same thing going on.
03:41 schestowitz; many gates
03:41 schestowitz; gated roads
03:41 DaemonFC; The smart ones and the hard workers try to flee.
03:42 schestowitz; and you pay for it
03:42 DaemonFC; The stupid ones that have 8 kids stay and vote for people like Modi.
03:42 schestowitz; it's a tax associated with unequality
03:42 schestowitz; your drug-addicted poor person is a stone-throw away
03:42 schestowitz; so you need to build palaces and hire private security firms
03:42 schestowitz; to keep the "dirty ones" out
03:42 DaemonFC; schestowitz Illinois has less inequality than Florida.
03:42 DaemonFC; It's still amazingly bad here.
03:42 schestowitz; yeah
03:43 schestowitz; FL is scary
03:43 schestowitz; the level of violence
03:43 schestowitz; you have no-go malls
03:43 schestowitz; it's like you can draw a map
03:43 schestowitz; "this is safe for us"
03:43 DaemonFC; Most of the violence in Waukegan isn't even "I feel scared to leave my house."
03:44 DaemonFC; We get an occasional nutbag with a lot of guns that the State Police gave a FOID Card to.
03:44 DaemonFC; Like that guy that shot up the July 4th parade last year in Highland Park.
03:44 DaemonFC; But the vast majority of it is targeted killings.
03:44 DaemonFC; Drug dealers by other criminals.
03:45 DaemonFC; These guns they use were never in any sort of FOID system.
03:45 DaemonFC; They didn't even originate in Illinois as far as first sale.
03:45 schestowitz; it's a societal issue
03:45 DaemonFC; The only thing FOID does is make sure that most of the first sale chain leading to gun crime is not originating at a store in Illinois.
03:45 schestowitz; culture

03:46 schestowitz; no clearance needed
03:46 DaemonFC; They have Narcoterrorism.
03:46 schestowitz; just walk past, shake hands
03:46 schestowitz; you can see people in the open shaking hands with his kids too
03:46 DaemonFC; Starving kids with broken glass bottles. (Philippines)

03:48 schestowitz; don;'t worry, uncle joe will fix it
03:48 schestowitz; he just pulled off an economic moracle
03:48 schestowitz; the only issue is,
03:48 DaemonFC; Nothing can be done about Florida. Trump went there because it suits him.
03:48 schestowitz; people don't give him credit for it, sayus oligarch's media
03:48 DaemonFC; It's a very two-tiered state.

04:21 DaemonFC; The nail is growing back normally, but since March, only about 30-35% of the nail is new.
04:21 DaemonFC; If I'm not careful how I trim it, it could crack in half.
04:22 DaemonFC; At this rate it'll be September or October before most of the nail has grown in correctly again and I don't need to be as careful.
04:23 DaemonFC; I had a pretty bad ingrown toenail. Not like the ones I had in the 90s that got all nice and green and infected and oozed out into my socks.
04:23 DaemonFC; But it would have ended up there. So I just bit the bullet and had the guy deal with it.
04:24 DaemonFC; His advice was wear less constraining shoes and practice better self-care.
04:24 DaemonFC; I have a hell of a time trying to find shoes that fit me right, especially at discount box stores like Walmart.
04:25 DaemonFC; It's just luck of the draw as to whether or not they'll have anything. So I've been wearing a pair of Reeboks that I don't hate and have amazingly held up since like 2018.
04:26 DaemonFC; schestowitz I don't take the car to Walmart for oil changes. If they screw up balancing some tires the worst thing that could happen is you keep going there until they get someone to balance them right.
04:27 DaemonFC; But it's pretty easy to completely wreck a car engine. Even with an oil change. They hire people off the street and you never know what they'll do.

05:16 DaemonFC; China does the same shit any other government does.
05:16 DaemonFC; Obligates itself to do something then that "something" isn't much, but everyone has it. But some people do better even though everyone has "something".

07:34 schestowitz; "can't write code, don't have hair"
07:35 DaemonFC; It's also easier to verify that a revolver is unloaded.
07:35 DaemonFC; If you don't have a Conceal and Carry permit and accidentally leave a round chambered, then you've committed a felony if you transport a firearm in Illinois.
07:36 DaemonFC; The law doesn't have an "Oops, forgot to check the chamber." defense.
07:36 DaemonFC; So that's a one way ticket to felony probation (if you're lucky).
07:37 DaemonFC; The police don't have infinite resources or an excuse to just go checking random people for carrying a firearm with no permit so the odds are that if you're not stupid you'll get away with it forever.
07:38 DaemonFC; The law is mostly there because the people who tend not to have a permit are usually criminals, and criminals tend to stupidly break other laws and draw lots of unwanted attention to themselves.

07:44 DaemonFC; ...experts in many different areas of medicine.""
07:44 DaemonFC; So what does this mean?

07:47 schestowitz; i think the number of carriers went down a bit
07:48 DaemonFC; If you get ill, die quickly, in the STATE OF ILL.
07:49 DaemonFC; Here's $100 tax check. If you hurry that's still 1/5th of a doctor visit.
07:49 DaemonFC; schestowitz It sounds weird when I tell people I deliberately overpay for gas for my car.
07:50 DaemonFC; I go to one of the more expensive stations in town.
07:50 DaemonFC; They're on the rebate app I use and the difference all comes right back to me anyway, but my credit card points are based on a multiple of the total spend.
07:50 DaemonFC; So if I spend the higher amount top of the line, I get more credit card points, then I get the rebate.
07:51 DaemonFC; Basically a lot of my spending goes in order of how to generate these points. I mean. If it's a necessary and proper expenditure that you can't get out of you might as well pocket a few cents on the dollar here and t here.
07:51 DaemonFC; So, you know, Mandy wonders why I do things that don't make sense.
07:52 DaemonFC; Like sometimes I'll turn left when I know the place I need to get to is to the right.
07:52 DaemonFC; And we'll have a big argument about it. Instead of just trusting that there must be a reason and I just haven't explained it, he jumps down my throat assuming I'm an idiot that just turned the car left for no reason whatsoever.
07:53 DaemonFC; I mean, maybe there's a bad intersection down there to the right and I don't want to get into an accident or wait forever for the oncoming traffic to clear.
07:53 DaemonFC; But he never stops to think that maybe I just know what I'm trying to do and get off my case about it.
07:58 DaemonFC; So whenever I do something that he assumes is wrong I'm already waiting for "STUPID!! I TOLD YOU TO TURN RIGHT!!! WHY ARE WE GOING THIS WAY? DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME?"
07:58 DaemonFC; It's sort of this rigid thinking.

08:01 DaemonFC; And I see a lot of that in MARISOL too, schestowitz
08:01 DaemonFC; I think that explains the outbursts, the explosive temper, the whining, the nagging, the throwing of dishware.
08:01 DaemonFC; She's a textbook narcissist with evidence of extremely rigid thought patterns.
08:02 DaemonFC; In her world, there is only one right way to do things, and that's the way she's decided is right.
08:03 DaemonFC; If anyone goes against what she feels to be true, then she explodes because of this combination of inability to see things from some other perspective and her own vanity.
08:04 DaemonFC; To a certain extent, rigidity is normal. Everyone has some. A reluctance to do things in a way other than what has worked for them.
08:04 DaemonFC; I think a lot of it is due to intense psychological trauma in childhood.
08:04 *parsifal (~parsifal@aahfbjmj4hann.irc) has joined #techrights
08:05 DaemonFC; Like, we know they didn't have the best parents.
08:05 DaemonFC; Who knows what you had to do in that house to keep the parents from getting upset?
08:05 DaemonFC; Children learn then they grow up then they have all of the accumulated psychological problems from a living situation that hasn't existed in decades.
08:07 DaemonFC; So it really is "The sins of the father."
08:07 DaemonFC; MARISOL had a bad father and it warped her brain.
08:07 DaemonFC; Then she had kids and they have to live with a mentally ill mother they've grown to hate. And then they will have kids.
08:07 DaemonFC; It's like a disease.

08:08 DaemonFC; They'll try to "achieve" things MARISOL wants, even into adulthood, trying to please an "evil God" that will never be happy.
08:08 DaemonFC; Because somewhere that's how they see her.
08:08 DaemonFC; Many people do this.
08:08 schestowitz; it won't work
08:08 schestowitz; they turn 12
08:08 schestowitz; they rebel
08:09 schestowitz; and they do whatever the f* they want
08:09 schestowitz; "i hate you, mom!"
08:09 schestowitz; you cannot dictate to the kids what they become
08:09 DaemonFC; Yeah, they call her fucking bitch right to her face.
08:09 schestowitz; you can to a small child
08:09 schestowitz; then they grow up
08:09 DaemonFC; They were doing that 4 years ago when they were 14.
08:09 schestowitz; and their friends and schools change them
08:09 DaemonFC; Well, her son was.
08:09 schestowitz; sometimes gangs too
08:09 schestowitz; you cannot closely guard them 24/7
08:09 DaemonFC; Yes, experiment that blows up.
08:09 schestowitz; the state makes it illegal
08:09 schestowitz; so they wrest control
08:09 DaemonFC; We already know she was trying to get pregnant again.
08:10 DaemonFC; It didn't work out.
08:10 DaemonFC; She told Mandy she miscarried. Who knows what the truth was.
08:10 DaemonFC; It is Illinois.
08:10 DaemonFC; Maybe her and Mark went over the credit cards and decided that they couldn't afford it and went off to the Democrat Death Factory.
08:11 DaemonFC; Very quietly.
08:11 DaemonFC; Then to church on Sunday with a sad story
08:11 DaemonFC; Miscarried.
08:11 schestowitz; btw, what i said abovge is universal
08:11 schestowitz; across cultures
08:12 schestowitz; eventually the state takes control of the "plebs"
08:12 schestowitz; no matter what you do
08:12 schestowitz; raise them in a cave? they will arrest you
08:12 schestowitz; the trouyble is,
08:12 schestowitz; like with copaganda,
08:12 schestowitz; many people find out too late\
08:12 schestowitz; the hard way
08:12 DaemonFC; schestowitz STATE OF ILL has an app for kids to report things to the government.
08:12 schestowitz; after they already had kids
08:12 DaemonFC; All sorts of things.
08:12 schestowitz; not heeding the warninf of the elders
08:12 DaemonFC; Including their parents!
08:12 DaemonFC; :D
08:12 schestowitz; who might be honest
08:12 schestowitz; so you cannot undo it
08:13 schestowitz; when I was young I thought in terms like the the Me Me the Third BS
08:13 schestowitz; The Second, the Third
08:13 schestowitz; it seldom works
08:13 schestowitz; the kids don't do what the parents tell them
08:13 DaemonFC; schestowitz In the 90s there was no app to just narc on people to the state via an iPhone.
08:13 schestowitz; some parents decide for their kids what to study in college
08:13 schestowitz; then the kids graduate and do something else completely
08:13 schestowitz; veyr common
08:14 schestowitz; because they were herded into studying something they did not fancy
08:14 schestowitz; you can lead a horse to water
08:14 DaemonFC; schestowitz According to GULAG PLAY almost nobody in the entire state has downloaded this app.
08:14 schestowitz; you know the rest
08:14 DaemonFC; Despite the TV commercials and everything.
08:14 DaemonFC; They spent millions of dollars so that 47 people in a state of 13 million could download the narc on everyone app.
08:14 DaemonFC; Worth every penny.
08:15 schestowitz; yes, you covered it
08:15 schestowitz; spectacular failure
08:15 schestowitz; how many of those 47 are beta testers?
08:15 DaemonFC; LOL
08:15 schestowitz; or the developers of the apps?
08:15 schestowitz; and relatives and friends
08:15 schestowitz; like spamnil's youtube video
08:15 schestowitz; 10 views, that's it
08:15 schestowitz; spamnil
08:15 schestowitz; the guest
08:15 schestowitz; a friend the guest emailed
08:15 schestowitz; spamnil's mom
08:15 DaemonFC; They should release a list so the other 13 million people can "thank them" and spray paint STOP SNITCHIN!
08:15 schestowitz; that's it
08:15 schestowitz; then he buys like 1000 fake "clicks"
08:16 DaemonFC; schestowitz Apparently, my attitude of "You're the cops, go do your own goddamn dirty work." is still pretty standard.

08:17 schestowitz; so now my job is revenge
08:17 schestowitz; "ima kill all em blacks who don't obey my command"
08:17 schestowitz; anger and "activism"
08:17 schestowitz; not a good mix
08:17 DaemonFC; Like it says on the police car in GTA V.
08:17 DaemonFC; Obey and Survive
08:17 schestowitz; and maybe a papa who used to beat you up with a belt
08:18 DaemonFC; schestowitz The public pretty much despises the police.
08:18 DaemonFC; The news media (state-controlled) points out all those back the blue idiots.
08:18 DaemonFC; Most people are not involved in that.
08:18 DaemonFC; The police operate much the same everywhere. They're not good to poor white trash that voted for Trump either.
08:19 DaemonFC; There's a lot of public resentment of the police. It just doesn't make it to the "news" because the state doesn't want to project widespread disapproval of the state.
08:19 schestowitz; <DaemonFC> Obey and Survive
08:19 schestowitz; which implies
08:19 schestowitz; "disobey? we KILL you"
08:19 DaemonFC; Yeah, that's pretty much the flip side of it.

08:23 DaemonFC; I don't like those "quit or be fired" things because at a lot of places it actually makes no difference in the end except if they fired you, you might have had an unemployment case.

21:39 DaemonFC; Dear diary, today I got to call and speak to a rather unpleasant woman from the hospital about a bill I'd already paid. I kept telling her my name is Ryan and she kept saying "Yes, Brian." so I corrected her again and she said, "Oh, Bryan. Okay!". Finally when I said, "No no no, four letters. R-Y-A-N, she got it. Like the people in San Francisco only without the hose.

21:55 DaemonFC; schestowitz Like 30 cops rode by on bicycles outside the McDonalds earlier.
21:56 DaemonFC; I wonder what that was all about.
21:56 DaemonFC; They put up a police POD over by the Lakeside Tower, the one where all the black people live on Section 8 vouchers.
21:57 DaemonFC; Elevators that smell like piss where women get raped. Drug dealers hanging out on the steps of the church next door. People leaning out the 20th floor window shouting at people on the street and throwing garbage out the window.
21:57 DaemonFC; "Why doesn't America have public housing?"
21:57 DaemonFC; Because it doesn't work like public housing in a country where poor people are *only* poor and otherwise not all coked up and insane and packing out of state firearms.
