00:15 DaemonFC; Yes, they call it the Walmart cheer and when I worked there it went on for about 2-3 minutes.
00:16 DaemonFC; Some sort of ritualistic humiliation.
00:16 DaemonFC; "Oh we're cutting your hours this month. Sales were bad."
00:16 DaemonFC; YAY WALMART!
00:17 DaemonFC; Sometimes the customers hear it from the backroom or worse, they make you do it in the middle of the women's clothing department. It's so embarrassing.
00:18 DaemonFC; "Can I just go to work now? I make less than $10 an hour and it's the middle of the night?"
00:18 schestowitz_TR2; pretending to be happy workers
00:18 schestowitz_TR2; theatre
00:18 schestowitz_TR2; mandated
00:18 DaemonFC; Bad attitude! Someone's not getting a cost of living allowance this year!
00:19 bnchs; schestowitz_TR2, it's stupid
00:19 schestowitz_TR2; like airlines, but with far worse pay
00:19 DaemonFC; Not that anyone really does.
00:19 bnchs; instead of helping employees be happy with their job
00:19 DaemonFC; Management can raise your wage by anywhere from 1-3% each year, usually.
00:19 bnchs; they FORCE them to be happy
00:19 DaemonFC; They tried to find ways to force even the best workers down to 1 or 2% by finding something to criticize.
00:19 schestowitz_TR2; bnchs: you will feel miserable alone
00:20 schestowitz_TR2; thinking it is just you
00:20 schestowitz_TR2; no support network
00:20 schestowitz_TR2; no union
00:20 DaemonFC; Even if they were never late, didn't call in even once, and did the job of two people.
00:20 DaemonFC; You never got the best possible raise.
00:20 *AdmFubar has quit (connection closed)
00:20 schestowitz_TR2; bnchs: happiness is NOT optional
00:20 DaemonFC; The only thing they got rid of that was truly horrible since I worked there seems to be the expectation of lowering the payroll budget 1% every year.
00:21 bnchs; happiness is required
00:21 bnchs; you can't criticize your job
00:21 schestowitz_TR2; hey, if I use self-checkout
00:21 bnchs; no, instead your job is PERFECT
00:21 schestowitz_TR2; do I also need to smile|?
00:21 schestowitz_TR2; at myself?
00:21 DaemonFC; Just truly awful. They'd cut everyone down to part time, give them too few hours to get the department stocked, sales would fall because of shelves being a mess and too many outs that were in the back room with nobody to stock them.
00:21 DaemonFC; And then because of the sales, they'd cut hours again.
00:22 schestowitz_TR2; I could walk into the starbucks today
00:22 schestowitz_TR2; and ask, are youy unionised?
00:22 schestowitz_TR2; If so, I'll order a coffee
00:22 *AdmFubar (~mradmin@ngqaam7baxnug.irc) has joined #techrights
00:22 schestowitz_TR2; just to see the reaction
00:23 DaemonFC; I was actually trying to contain my extreme satisfaction when, after the co-manager was boasting about the size of her bonus (while cutting my hours) and using it to buy a brand new Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, 3800 supercharged, for her 16 year old son, he totaled it the next day.
00:23 DaemonFC; He walked away from it because the car turns into a giant airbag, so he was fine.
00:23 DaemonFC; But the car was a total loss.
00:23 DaemonFC; "Wanna see a magic trick? I'm gonna make $50,000 disappear! TADA!".
00:23 schestowitz_TR2; cars are white elepants
00:24 schestowitz_TR2; unless you make a living off them
00:24 schestowitz_TR2; like if the driving is your job
00:24 schestowitz_TR2; funeral service or something
00:24 schestowitz_TR2; most peopple use their cars at most 2% of the time
00:24 DaemonFC; What is vexing me, schestowitz_TR2, is how gas is $5.15 a gallon now, and nobody seems to be trying to conserve any.
00:24 DaemonFC; They're all still out doing everything they were doing when it was $2.
00:24 schestowitz_TR2; imagine buying a PC to be isle 98% of the time
00:24 schestowitz_TR2; or turned OFF 98% of the time
00:25 schestowitz_TR2; *idle
00:25 schestowitz_TR2; it might thenm be cheaper to use an Internet cafe
00:25 schestowitz_TR2; and not have to worry about power bills, either
00:25 schestowitz_TR2; until 2015 we printed labels at a local shops
00:25 activelow; which is what most PC do, idle 98% of the time, with excessive power consumption in idle state
00:26 schestowitz_TR2; until the labels needed printing several times per week
00:26 schestowitz_TR2; activelow: OK, idl;e as in standby
00:26 schestowitz_TR2; or hibernation
00:26 DaemonFC; Shaving is my biggest thing that pisses me off.
00:27 schestowitz_TR2; not idle as in CPU not going at full blast
00:27 DaemonFC; I think the quality of the Mach 3 was better in the early 2000s.
00:27 DaemonFC; I don't believe this is the same product anymore.
00:27 schestowitz_TR2; razers are a patent scam
00:27 schestowitz_TR2; and price-fixing, too
00:27 activelow; schestowitz_TR2: idle is a distinct power state, which isn't standby/suspended/hibernated
00:27 schestowitz_TR2; we covered this in techrights ages ago
00:27 DaemonFC; Gillette did a bunch of cost cutting lately because of all the "shave clubs".
00:27 schestowitz_TR2; they caaaan make decent ones that last longer
00:27 schestowitz_TR2; and sell these for pannies
00:27 DaemonFC; So the price of the Mach 3 has gone down, but so has the number of times you can expect to use it.
00:27 schestowitz_TR2; and don't degrade fast
00:28 DaemonFC; I seem to remember that I used to get about a month out of each cartridge.
00:28 DaemonFC; The ones they make now last me about half as long.
00:28 schestowitz_TR2; with mach 3 over a decade ago you could do a month per blade
00:29 schestowitz_TR2; I've not been keeping up tthough
00:29 schestowitz_TR2; there is an incentive not to use materials that last long
00:29 schestowitz_TR2; juist add a blade
00:29 schestowitz_TR2; make more exquisite-looking handles
00:29 schestowitz_TR2; without improving the blades
00:30 schestowitz_TR2; then you feel guilty if you don';t buy the proprietary blades
00:30 schestowitz_TR2; like colgate with paste for 'generic' markets
00:30 schestowitz_TR2; Gillette has low-cost options
00:30 schestowitz_TR2; usual;ly double-lajded
00:31 schestowitz_TR2; *bladed
00:31 schestowitz_TR2; but they won't put them on every sotre shelf
00:31 schestowitz_TR2; because it harms the sales of the "premium"
00:31 schestowitz_TR2; they put these in "poor people's shops"
00:31 schestowitz_TR2; they reckon better to make a small profit there than to let the competition mase the sale
00:31 schestowitz_TR2; these are predatory pricing schemes

00:46 schestowitz; The share price reaction, a particularly severe one by the standards of typically less volatile consumer staple stocks, came after the company revealed profits in its latest quarter had taken an unexpected hit owing to higher wages, a jump in fuel costs and softness in general merchandise sales at its US businesses.

01:47 DaemonFC; Hard not to.
01:47 DaemonFC; Nobody is paying me to use cash.
01:47 DaemonFC; If I pay cash, the price is the same, but my money goes to pay someone for using their cards and I don't get any points.
01:48 DaemonFC; The points are like crack. Especially with high gas prices.
01:48 DaemonFC; When I signed up for a 5% back on gas card, the guy at the bank said I had lost my mind. Gas was $1.70 a gallon that day.
01:48 DaemonFC; Biden got into office, gas shot up, it's $5.15 now.
01:50 DaemonFC; Suddenly I get well over $100 in points on gas in a year. It's enough to buy another tank and a half.
01:50 DaemonFC; What's unfolding under Biden is a major disaster.
01:51 DaemonFC; And nobody is going to accept it's all because of Russia.
01:51 DaemonFC; That's their strategy for the election. Russia, Russia, Russia!
01:51 DaemonFC; Oh, it's Putin. Putin's screwing up the whole world!
01:51 DaemonFC; Ukraine is the entire world now, you know.
01:52 DaemonFC; It's just their latest excuse for letting the megacorporations gouge us and give us a reason we can't do anything about.
01:52 DaemonFC; There always is one and there always will be.
01:53 DaemonFC; There's no upside, in the UK, of Labour winning. They're like Democrats. They're not about labor at all.
01:53 DaemonFC; They got the UK into the Iraq War for crying out loud.
01:54 DaemonFC; It's another right-wing party full of false promises and empty bluster.
01:55 DaemonFC; The entire Brexit referendum probably still would have happened. Politicians like referendums. Those insulate them for the disaster that happens later when what sounded good actually isn't. They can let people have what they want and when the blowback comes, they can say the public voted for it.
01:55 DaemonFC; "The people suck. Fuck hope!" -Carlin
01:57 DaemonFC; With Reagan, you wants a good job, he said pray. Obama said hope. Biden said the entire reason the American public suffered was COVID, and Trump botched it, and only Biden had a plan. It was a good plan. You'd find out all about it after the election.
01:57 DaemonFC; Well, we're here now, with the third year of COVID. The media talking about recoveries when retail stocks are down 30-40% and gas is over $5 a gallon, and every major company is laying off.
01:58 DaemonFC; Yes, this a recovery. Very robust recovery! I'd recognize one anywhere! It's like porn or the perfect turd. I can't describe it, but I'll know it when I see it.

02:07 DaemonFC; chicksahoy was talking store brands. I just saw a Jim Cramer nothingburger go by. With the always popular "Buy generics!".
02:08 DaemonFC; I don't buy generic razors, I buy Mach 3s, and I don't buy generic Oral B replacement heads for my toothbrush because the off brands don't work well, don't last as long, and don't save money vs getting Oral B ones with a coupon or something, or buying a ton of them at once in quantities the generics don't even come in, to get the cost down.
02:08 DaemonFC; Walmart's generic Brita filters were so bad, they quit making them.
02:08 DaemonFC; In some ways, generics can actually perform worse or cost you more money or be too aggravating to put up with.
02:09 DaemonFC; So saying this as a blanket rule makes no sense.
02:09 DaemonFC; On the flip side, I couldn't care less which toothpaste I use. It's grit with fluoride. Get the cheapest one possible.
02:09 DaemonFC; So I have really expensive toothbrush heads with discount toothpaste.
02:10 MinceR; > I just saw a Jim Cramer nothingburger go by.
02:10 MinceR; what's a nothingburger like?
02:10 MinceR; is it like a chickenburger with nothing in place of the chicken or like a cheeseburger with nothing in place of the cheese?
02:10 MinceR; or is it different from both?
02:10 DaemonFC; I noticed that the rate of decay between name brand toothpastes and generic was too little to notice, if there even was any, so I quit buying the expensive stuff a long time ago. 14-15 years maybe?
02:11 DaemonFC; Since I switched, I've had zero cavities. If it wasn't working, I probably would have some.
02:11 DaemonFC; Zero is the number of cavities you want. Filling cavities costs a FORTUNE.
02:12 DaemonFC; In 2007, the last time I had a filling, it was almost $300 for a small one. Today, I'm told it can cost $600-700.
02:12 DaemonFC; Even one can cost you too much to NOT be obsessive with your brushing.
02:12 DaemonFC; Mandy has good dental insurance at least, which is fortunate.
02:13 DaemonFC; His teeth were awful, and I had the dentist here do like 11 fillings on him in one go.
02:13 DaemonFC; It was absolutely outrageous, but the insurance paid for it.
02:13 DaemonFC; I had to dog ear him and make him get in the car.

02:14 MinceR; yes
02:14 DaemonFC; Frank Anderson isn't a bad name, Frankly.
02:14 MinceR; :>
02:14 DaemonFC; My grandfather's name was Frank.
02:14 MinceR; Agent Anderson is better
02:14 DaemonFC; Frank Anderson sounds like a guy you want running your town.
02:15 DaemonFC; He's a member of the local VFW and the Moose Lodge.
02:16 DaemonFC; MinceR, Not like Biden at all.
02:16 DaemonFC; Mandy said "Did you know there's no baby formula at Walmart?".
02:16 DaemonFC; I said, "You just now noticed?".
02:28 MinceR; the formula for a baby is pretty complicated
02:31 AdmFubar; to make babies??? or to feed them???
02:32 DaemonFC; He said, "Biden's going to send some.".
02:32 DaemonFC; I said, "Yeah, BIDEN will save us. He's knocking them out of the ballpark so far. $5.15 a gallon on gas. Eat my ass, Biden!".
02:33 DaemonFC; It's a shame that you don't have to complete some sort of puzzle to have sex.
02:33 MinceR; to make babies, obviously
02:33 DaemonFC; There's be less stupid people in the world.
02:33 DaemonFC; Like, the pieces only fit if you do 15 steps in exactly the right order.
02:34 DaemonFC; Otherwise, it's impossible to reproduce and your DNA just ends there.
02:34 DaemonFC; There'd be no Marjorie, Mandy's friend at work who drove to the wrong county with her GPS going.
02:35 DaemonFC; "Oh I'm sorry, Downer's Grove is basically the same thing as where you live. Look there's even a street and a house number that match in Downer's Grove!".
02:35 DaemonFC; MinceR, There's a Microsoft office in Downer's Grove.
02:36 DaemonFC; It would have been ironic if her GPS program was Microsoft's and she crashed into the building and blamed it on that. She'd be the first person with a story like this that I believed.

18:24 Skywave; also one of the few people who understand posthumanism is nothing like transhumanism.
18:25 Skywave; the real fun starts when corporations start genetically engineering their own employees.
18:25 Skywave; why hire them when you can just create them?
18:25 Skywave; who will bother enforcing human rights? UN?
18:25 TR News; "The cars are identical, so it's mostly a test of ability. They nominally have teams, but no one takes any notice of that, so again it's focussed on drivers and what they can do." gemini://freeshell.de/f1/2022-05-19_W_Series_is_fun.gmi
18:25 MinceR; does the UN bother now?
18:25 Skywave; hardly.
18:25 MinceR; and does the ECHR even _know_ what human rights are?
18:25 Skywave; in name only.
18:26 Skywave; yes..theoretically.
18:26 Skywave; it is all just nice words.
18:26 Skywave; the problem is, military-intelligence surveillance-capitalist iCorporatocracy, or my idea of a FOSS AGI technocracy.
18:27 Skywave; i think there will be no "free-range humans" on this planet either way.

18:27 schestowitz_TR2; militaries more so
18:27 schestowitz_TR2; media is their tisssue paper
18:28 XRevan86; Should I use translate.google.com then?
18:28 schestowitz_TR2; if you think Western claims about their weapoons isn't BS, you need to read further
18:28 schestowitz_TR2; I can provide loads of examples
18:28 schestowitz_TR2; inc. ddrone strikes
18:28 schestowitz_TR2; drones are particularly shit
18:28 schestowitz_TR2; and F-35 could not even fire their guns for years
18:28 Skywave; i like the idea of psychotronic weapons but these are also probably largely bunk.
18:29 Skywave; i remember some Russian planes saying they could use electronic warfare to shut down US ships etc.
18:29 schestowitz_TR2; btw, the proapagdnas got so bad
18:29 schestowitz_TR2; to deter the Russians
18:29 schestowitz_TR2; that they spread false rumours about UFOs
18:29 schestowitz_TR2; and extra-terrestrial technology
18:29 schestowitz_TR2; capsuled
18:29 Skywave; i've seen documentaries about that, CIA saying yes we feed the UFO craze.

18:30 schestowitz_TR2; you try to
18:31 schestowitz_TR2; 1) scare the enemy
18:31 schestowitz_TR2; 2) exaggerate the econmy's losses
18:31 schestowitz_TR2; to harm morale
18:31 schestowitz_TR2; demoralised troops are less likely to fight back, get drafted, be recruited
18:31 schestowitz_TR2; hence, Pution makes it a "crime" to "talk down" the Army
18:31 Skywave; >in order to establish a techno-communitarian spiritualism that worships transhumanist evolution controlled by Big Tech companies which dominate the stakeholder economy of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
18:31 schestowitz_TR2; in war, truth is the first casualtiy
18:31 schestowitz_TR2; and media is worthless
18:32 Skywave; that's why i despise iCorporatocracy. it's a mockery.
18:32 Skywave; replace big tech with FOSS coders though and it would be good.
18:32 psydroid2; people take so much issue with mass media being called out for being propaganda machines
18:32 psydroid2; "but they are the good propaganda media"
18:33 psydroid2; the problem is that FOSS coders get compromised too
18:33 MinceR; 19 192607 < Skywave> yes..theoretically.
18:33 MinceR; and yet they keep ruling against human rights, in favor of religious zealots
18:33 psydroid2; it's FOSS coders who get employed at big tech
18:34 Skywave; i agree psydroid2.
18:34 Skywave; if cybercommunists are to win, we need to genetically engineer ourselves a new species methinks.
18:34 Skywave; too easy for a normal person to just hand over their lifeforce to corporations to be happy and functional.
18:34 Skywave; capitalism loves humanity.
18:34 Skywave; communism doesn't!
18:35 Skywave; most people will self-interface to iCorporatocracy, as they're doing right now. most liberals will have to become fascists.
18:35 MinceR; what is cybercommunism? starving to death while having really poorly made computers built into your body?
18:36 Skywave; i have in mind Jacque Fresco's utopian ideas about a resource-based economy actually, the cyber in communism makes the communism palatable to me when i signal left-wing views. i am not a right-winger, but a leftist accelerationist.
18:36 Skywave; i want a technocracy ultimately, as i am a posthumanist.
18:37 Skywave; what is the purpose of this planet, just to be a planet of the apes forever, or does biology here serve some greater purpose. i think human beings should build something better than ourselves.
18:37 Skywave; all parents want their kids to be better than them.
18:37 MinceR; no, it's the planet of plastic
18:38 MinceR; but only for a couple billion years
18:38 Skywave; yes, Carlin thought so too.
18:38 MinceR; then the heat will break it down
18:38 Skywave; the earth developed humans because it needed plastic for some reason.
18:38 MinceR; yeah, i took it from him
18:38 Skywave; :p
18:38 Skywave; i am not as blackpilled as Carlin.
18:39 Skywave; i understand what i want and how i get there, even if i don't know if i will ultimately. i have to do what i can.
18:39 Skywave; humans are the only species that might want to lock down all of existence to their level forever, remain mumke.
18:39 Skywave; imagine the autistic monkeys that played with sticks and stones being made fun of by the "normal" monkeys.
18:40 SomeH4x0r; I think it is just a side effect caused by evolution. Humans got a relatively good intelligence, but still limited by monkey instincts and isn't very good.
18:40 schestowitz_TR2; it's not even humans
18:40 schestowitz_TR2; but a system
18:40 schestowitz_TR2; it reinforces bad actions
18:40 schestowitz_TR2; like consuming and taking on debt
18:40 schestowitz_TR2; or joining an "army" to become hero
18:41 MinceR; a system made of humans, by humans
18:41 schestowitz_TR2; by killing other humans
18:41 Skywave; it is true that we have build a civilization that has expanded way beyond our capacity to manage it.
18:41 schestowitz_TR2; no other animal does this
18:41 Skywave; yes, that is largely correct. a biologist can be reductive and say all these are epiphenomena of genes ultimately, but at some point we can say, alright dude.
18:41 MinceR; we have built a civilization?
18:41 MinceR; i haven't discovered it yet :(

18:42 Skywave; pseudo-civilization.
18:42 schestowitz_TR2; humans do actions that are negative to human survival
18:42 schestowitz_TR2; maybe that's why we won't last more than 150k years
18:42 schestowitz_TR2; animals that eat their own do not last long
18:42 schestowitz_TR2; maybe we can find fossils of those
18:43 Skywave; either a breakaway techno-ascensionist civilization happens and steamrolls the planet, or we're screwed, a blip in the radar, a drop in the ocean.
18:43 Skywave; we are in the pre-history of post-humanism at best.
18:43 Skywave; the problem is, i think corporations are too stupid to build Skynet properly.
18:44 Skywave; instead we'll end up with the AI from Idiocracy.
18:45 psydroid2; I think that is some of the extremely strong pushback we are seeing now
18:46 psydroid2; corporations realise that humans can live without them when those can design, manufacture and control anything they want
18:46 psydroid2; now the goal has become to prevent them from doing that by any means
18:47 Skywave; yes.
18:47 Skywave; decentralize as much as possible, destroy centers of power everywhere.
18:47 Skywave; that's why i like the idea of libertarian communism.
18:48 Skywave; i think if something like Skynet happens, it will be a collective effort. we understand we want something more out of ourselves, and build AGI.
18:48 Skywave; even in such a theoretically FOSS-everything world, there might be people who want to remain 3+1-dimensional for all eternity, and others who want to build gods basically.
18:48 Skywave; so warfare will probably never end. but at least we won't have capitalism.
18:49 Doxill; libertarian communism?
18:49 Skywave; yes, libcom. sounds oxymoronic?
18:49 Doxill; anarchy
18:49 Skywave; anarcho-communism is somewhat different from libcom.
18:50 Skywave; i believe it is ok for small groups of people to build their own mini-governments. systems in which they will exist.
18:50 Doxill; what communism ?
18:50 Skywave; small-scale decentralized-distributed algocracies.
18:51 MinceR; rule by algae
18:51 Doxill; devide and conquer sounds more like it
18:51 Skywave; algae are good, fish eat them and get omega 3.
18:52 Skywave; i think there are pretty big differences between right and left-wingers.
18:53 Doxill; anarchy 0 no cracies
18:54 Doxill; anarchy = no cracies
18:54 MinceR; no crazies
18:54 Doxill; :)
18:54 Skywave; yes, that's right.
18:54 Skywave; the problem with crazies is that as proper psychopaths, they can rally people around themselves, and send them to war.

18:55 Skywave; everything happens for a purpose.
18:55 Skywave; yes they probably like that historically actually.
18:56 psydroid2; that's one of the things I've been wondering about over the years
18:56 *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@zxfvcybegd478.irc) has joined #techrights
18:56 Skywave; people in the military in general. in all countries, the psychopaths always rise to the top of their military-intelligence complexes.
18:56 psydroid2; the genetic reasons for psychopathy to be passed down from generation to generation
18:56 Skywave; this industry is the core of all nations and defense blocs basically.
18:56 Skywave; yes. the answer would terrify most people.
18:57 Skywave; so it is much simpler to just blame the psychopaths for everything.
18:57 Skywave; and want anarchy etc.
18:57 Skywave; i would rather genetically engineer everyone to *be* psychopathic.
18:57 MinceR; i would rather genetically engineer ASPD out of humanity
18:57 Skywave; there were some psychiatrists who did brainscans and saw that many psychiatrists had identical fMRIs to convicted criminals.
18:58 Skywave; yet they were perfectly functional medical professionals!
18:58 Skywave; antisocial yes is much worse.
18:59 MinceR; i mean the whole psychopathy/sociopathy spectrum
18:59 Skywave; that's the problem, if this were to be done, it would also nuke a massive chunk of perfectly functional humanity, with sub-surface psychopathy traits.
19:00 Skywave; most humans have some kind of personality disorder or other.
19:00 Skywave; and a lot of it is comorbid.
19:00 Skywave; 'throwing the babby away with the bathwater'.
19:01 MinceR; most personality disorders do not result in our society giving the most power to the people who will do the most harm with it, though
19:02 Doxill; power in it self isnt given its taken
19:02 Skywave; nature abhors a vacuum.
19:02 Doxill; thats exactlly the nature of power
19:02 Skywave; if people do not write their own scripts in existence, someone else will do it for them.
19:03 Skywave; and bad institutions equip people with worse and worse education, so more and more of this gap has to be "filled".
19:03 Skywave; so it is a race to the bottom.
19:04 Skywave; and now we end up in a situation where basic things such as housing and healthcare are "commodities" and an "asset class".
19:07 Doxill; the nature of power is having more freedom that the next guy
