00:51 DaemonFC; Mandy and I have credit cards.
00:52 schestowitz-TR; debt cards

00:52 schestowitz-TR; don't call them credit

00:52 schestowitz-TR; credit has a nice-sounding connotation
00:52 DaemonFC; Well, using credit cards as you would a debit card "cycling".
00:53 DaemonFC; That way you get points and the only real difference is you technically owe debt for a few days, no interest.
00:53 schestowitz-TR; I keep getting credit card spam
00:53 schestowitz-TR; loan offers
00:53 schestowitz-TR; they fill up in the cardboard/paper recycling bin

00:53 schestowitz-TR; that's what banks "sell"
00:53 DaemonFC; They add up alarmingly fast just doing what you have to anyway.
00:53 DaemonFC; Paying utility bills, groceries, gassing up the car...
00:54 DaemonFC; Gas is so expensive here right now that I can get $3.19 back from the card per tank, and another 64 cents in my Exxon rewards.
00:55 DaemonFC; Each time you get 100 points on your Exxon account, you can redeem it for $1 off that fill up.
00:55 schestowitz-TR; cars are expensive
00:55 DaemonFC; So it works out to 6% on gas.

00:55 schestowitz-TR; fuel

00:55 schestowitz-TR; which they lack
00:55 DaemonFC; Yeah, many people are suffering right now on fuel alone.
00:55 schestowitz-TR; you can be off the road for months until they replenish stocks of spares
00:55 DaemonFC; $3.75 a gallon and no option except to just pay it.
00:56 schestowitz-TR; more incentive to ship those components in new cars
00:56 schestowitz-TR; as their market value is higher
00:56 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, If I can't get a component in the aftermarket, I usually just pull it off a junkyard car.
00:56 DaemonFC; A good example is a windshield wiper motor.
00:56 DaemonFC; How much do you think an aftermarket one is?
00:56 DaemonFC; $300-400 on most cars.
00:56 schestowitz-TR; but I am talking about "modern" mcards
00:57 schestowitz-TR; there are many stories I saee about those
00:57 schestowitz-TR; and spares
00:57 DaemonFC; You go to Auto Parts City, you can get a used one that works for $35.
00:57 schestowitz-TR; cars that would not work for months
00:57 schestowitz-TR; because they lack some proprietary spares
00:57 DaemonFC; If it konks out after 4-5 more years, that's fine.
00:57 schestowitz-TR; and they have to replace whole lots
00:57 DaemonFC; You got it really cheap.
00:57 schestowitz-TR; not just some iper piece
00:57 DaemonFC; Yeah, I had to replace an entire upper intake because they didn't make just the part that snapped.
00:59 DaemonFC; My car has had a lot of problems, but one in particular has been vacuum leaks.
00:59 schestowitz-TR; chatting about this here atm
00:59 schestowitz-TR; like the proprietary parts
00:59 schestowitz-TR; and "unofficial", dealerships
00:59 schestowitz-TR; "we'll have something in a few months"
00:59 schestowitz-TR; they can chnarge you 10 times the price
00:59 schestowitz-TR; "well, I guess I have to pay it, that's how I get to work"
00:59 DaemonFC; Well, there's several suppliers on most stuff for a Chevy Impala, Roy.
01:00 schestowitz-TR; you want modular car
01:00 schestowitz-TR; with non-proprietary parts
01:00 DaemonFC; Yeah, 4-5 sources for parts most times.
01:00 schestowitz-TR; so simple you can fix some things on your own
01:00 DaemonFC; For suspension parts, I usually go with Moog.
01:00 schestowitz-TR; buiying a toolset is vastly cheaper than one bill from a dealership
01:00 schestowitz-TR; like if you need some tools and can buy them off a store offline/online

13:20 schestowitz-TR; bnchs: it's not really
13:20 schestowitz-TR; BLM is a response
13:20 schestowitz-TR; and was grassroots
13:20 schestowitz-TR; then it was hijacked by suits
13:20 schestowitz-TR; and by some partisan media
13:20 schestowitz-TR; not the fault of original BLM
13:20 schestowitz-TR; just like greta thunberg was a well-meaning activist
13:21 schestowitz-TR; how her image and work got 'corporatised' is not her fault
13:21 schestowitz-TR; and she benefited from it personally
13:21 bnchs; but BLM was used as racism against white people
13:21 schestowitz-TR; in gnu and linux there are analogies for that

13:23 bnchs; they prefer them to focus on blacks more
13:23 schestowitz; like torvalds and rms, not jzemlin and johns
13:23 bnchs; you can't say all lives matter or they'll call you a racist
13:24 schestowitz; all lives do matter
13:24 schestowitz; but if you say this in respond to blm
13:24 schestowitz; then your motivations are questioned
13:24 schestowitz; or blue lives matter
13:24 schestowitz; *in response
13:24 schestowitz; it's like saying, "blacks have no rights to grievances"
13:24 schestowitz; "blacks were never discriminated against"
13:25 schestowitz; the context matters
13:25 schestowitz; you can also use the "n" word in some contexts
13:25 schestowitz; without being black
13:25 schestowitz; like if you sing something
13:26 schestowitz; or say, "to the racist Republicans, the blacks are still just some "niggers" who work the land"
13:26 schestowitz; it's about context
13:26 bnchs; yes
13:27 schestowitz-TR; so if a black person holds up a sign that says BLM
13:27 schestowitz-TR; and you come up to them and say "all lives matter"
13:27 schestowitz-TR; what you insinuate is that blacks do not face discrimination
13:27 schestowitz-TR; whjich is untrue
13:28 bnchs; yes that is true
13:28 bnchs; but maybe they should tone it down on the racism against whites a bit?

Its a rotting system trying to buy itself more time before irreversible collapse. The #pandemic was exploited to introduce more Plutocratic Protection Acts in the name of public safety. Now the market plunders the middle class savings with epic financial bubble.

18:31 bnchs; dude i had to install fresh windows 10 on a very new laptop for my sister
18:31 bnchs; i had to search for thousands of drivers
18:31 bnchs; just for it to work
18:31 bnchs; gnu/linux comes out of the box with working drivers
18:32 psydroid2; that's what I did before, when I still installed windows for relatives
18:33 psydroid2; I booted a livecd to get all drivers and put them on a usb flash drive
18:33 psydroid2; so I could install those after the windows install
18:33 bnchs; i also had to search for drivers for the hard drive (fucking intel)
18:33 psydroid2; windows xp and 7, I think
18:33 psydroid2; wow
18:33 psydroid2; intel rst?
18:33 bnchs; yes
18:33 psydroid2; the bogus raid thing
18:34 bnchs; it came pre-enabled
18:34 psydroid2; DaemonFC knows some things about that
18:34 psydroid2; this is why I don't like closed source firmware
18:35 psydroid2; it's none of their business what I run on my hardware
18:35 psydroid2; or even how I configure the hardware
18:35 bnchs; also the BIOS screen doesn't appear at all
18:35 bnchs; it skips to windows
18:35 bnchs; it was a trial and error of pressing a button and hard shutdown if it didn't work
18:35 psydroid2; I'm sure they do this on purpose so you don't get tempted to install GNU/Linux
18:37 bnchs; also changing the secure boot keys is impossible in the BIOS
18:37 psydroid2; I don't know about that, because disabling secure boot is the first thing I do on a machine that comes with UEFI

18:39 bnchs; i disabled secure boot on it
18:39 bnchs; there wasn't an option to disable quiet bios splash though
18:40 bnchs; so it skips to windows like before
18:41 bnchs; it was a HP laptop
18:41 DaemonFC; <bnchs> also changing the secure boot keys is impossible in the BIOS
18:41 DaemonFC; The OS probably can.
18:41 DaemonFC; OpenSUSE adds its own even if the UI is disabled in the uEFI setup.
18:41 psydroid2; I think I had this experience too, I just couldn't get into UEFI
18:42 DaemonFC; Since this is untested behavior in a uEFI program, it probably does something horrible if there are enough keys added since shitass Lenovo couldn't bother to test it.
18:44 bnchs; i vow never to use a laptop like that ever again
18:46 psydroid2; I'm coasting along on the hardware I already have
18:46 psydroid2; it should last for at least a few more years
18:47 psydroid2; my HP laptop finally worked after 3-4 years
18:47 psydroid2; so expecting a new one to work with all functionality is futile

22:55 DaemonFC; We kind of lucked out that Trump is a textbook narcissist and didn't believe he was going anywhere until a few days before it happened.
22:55 DaemonFC; Or he could have done worse.
22:56 DaemonFC; On Obama's way out, he did a lot of things, including (thank god) ending wet foot, dry foot.
22:56 DaemonFC; That horrible Carter-era policy that's the reason we have all of those damned Cubans.
22:57 DaemonFC; It didn't come back under Trump. Trump would have liked having more Cubans because the ones that get here and stay here tend to be right-wing fascists.
22:57 activelow; "Deindustrialisation in India"???
22:57 DaemonFC; But his base would have been furious because they don't like immigrants.
22:58 psydroid8; that is what happened, yes
22:58 DaemonFC; Under wet foot/dry foot, you could overstay a visa and apply for a green card just for being Cuban.

23:25 DaemonFC; Dad didn't like Mitt Romney.
23:25 DaemonFC; Disliked him so much he voted for a second term of Obama.
23:26 DaemonFC; I asked him why, and he said it was because Romney's hedge fund put so many people out of work so that it could load their companies up with debt, spend it on the big wigs, and then put the firm in bankruptcy.
23:26 DaemonFC; Which is not exactly an area code away from Trump.
23:27 DaemonFC; Bain Capital lists Burger King as a success story. Ever since they took it over they lowered wages, lowered the quality of food inputs, and raised menu prices.
23:27 DaemonFC; "success"
23:28 DaemonFC; They said that since 27 million people lost their job over the course of 90 days in Trump's last year, that they were lowering pay across the board during COVID by 50 cents an hour, everywhere it was legal to do so.
23:28 DaemonFC; Amusingly, right after they said that, the minimum wage in Illinois went up another 50 cents.
23:29 DaemonFC; That's how corporations think of their workers. If you don't like it, tough. Go find a better deal. 27 million more people just became unemployed. They'll work for $8 an hour. Some of them have to in order to keep getting Medicaid.

23:31 DaemonFC; Through oddities in the tax code, we actually paid the state of Illinois 35.5 times more income tax for 2021 than we did to the federal government.
23:31 DaemonFC; The state has been a much more obnoxious pain in my ass than the federal government has been.
23:32 DaemonFC; They take your money and then they do what? Give you bad roads to drive on that ruin your car?
23:32 DaemonFC; They haven't done me any services.
23:33 DaemonFC; I paid an attorney as much as I would have to the state had I gone to court and lost on the traffic ticket, because I'd rather burn the money than send it to the government.
23:33 DaemonFC; And the state goes and squeals on you to the car insurance people.
23:34 DaemonFC; Then if you can't afford your car insurance next term, the state charges you with a crime of not having insurance, even though the bus is useless unless you're some crazy homeless person who doesn't need to get anywhere fast.
23:34 DaemonFC; "Happy State!"
23:34 DaemonFC; They get enough of my money, fuck them.
23:34 DaemonFC; That goes double for the police.

23:35 DaemonFC; schestowitz, So, if Illinois is a happy state, why did 157,000 people move out last year, and only 5,800 move in?
23:35 DaemonFC; So happy that they just can't wait to go move somewhere else, I suppose.
23:36 DaemonFC; Sick and tired of their taxes going up every year so that the dead weight can continue shutting down the freeways and knifing people on the red line.
23:36 DaemonFC; Everything is falling into disrepair because the people who are leaving are the ones who pay to keep everything running.
23:37 DaemonFC; Many of them took advantage of work from home to move to some state where they have personal freedom and then their boss got stuck with work from home because their employees bolted on Illinois the first second they got the chance to.
23:37 schestowitz-TR; DaemonFC: they always did

23:39 DaemonFC; Illinois loses one every Census now. Likely to be two next time, because we just barely escaped losing two this year.
23:39 schestowitz; you can do the same on a $200 laptop
23:39 DaemonFC; I think I recall reading that if there were 11,000 fewer people in the state, we would have lost another one, but New York cut it even closer.
23:39 DaemonFC; Theirs was like 400?
23:40 DaemonFC; So in 2030, Illinois and New York will likely both lose two.
23:40 DaemonFC; And Texas and Florida will both gain two.

23:42 DaemonFC; The only reasons it wasn't a complete disaster for the Democrats this round is because of some quirks in the process. They unexpectedly won some state lawsuits and found some more ways to squeeze the maps in the states they do control. But it will be much more difficult for Biden in 2024, because the new House seats will mean an electoral vote in a red state that winner takes all.

23:55 DaemonFC; They would know what would happen to them. There wouldn't be any paperwork. There wouldn't be a trial. The town would form a mob and kill you and nobody would know who exactly did what.
23:55 DaemonFC; Now they know nothing happens to them except maybe their 50th felony conviction, and what difference does that make?
23:56 DaemonFC; I say kill them. "For their anniversary.".
