1 AM, December 20

01:02 DaemonFC; schestowitz, Maybe quote me on the parody of where all of these "subscriptions" could go.

01:03 DaemonFC; schestowitz, My aunt always got a new Chevy every 2 years, and it was because the old one was malfunctioning. Then she'd brag about always having a new car.

01:03 DaemonFC; One of them, a Chevy Nova, started filling up with water every time it rained, and they were waiting for the car to turn 2 so they would have paid off enough of the loan to trade it in for another car.

01:04 DaemonFC; They had it in for warranty repair like 14 times or something, and finally she asked the service guy "You're never going to fix this, are you?" and he replied, "I'm not allowed to tell you that.".

01:04 DaemonFC; So they waited for a day where it wasn't raining and drove up to the sales department and traded it in.

01:05 DaemonFC; schestowitz, When mom gave the Impala, it was flooding because the holes in the bottom of the door panel were plugged up with leaves and dirt and shit.

01:05 DaemonFC; So I drove it down to a car wash and pumped the water out using the vacuum.

01:06 DaemonFC; And Mandy was like "It says don't vacuum up liquid!" and I'm over there going "Shut up!" and the thing's going glug glug glug.

01:06 schestowitz-TR; I see...

01:07 DaemonFC; I think I probably pumped out like 30 gallons or so. It was awful.

01:07 DaemonFC; Major thunderstorm the night before.

01:08 schestowitz; will write about the car thing soon

01:08 schestowitz; we need to do many parts on that

01:08 schestowitz; lots to be said

01:08 schestowitz; need to clean ALL email while working, sleep 4 hours

01:08 schestowitz; maybe I'll resume at 6am

01:08 schestowitz; first title: Turning Computers and Cars Into Restrictive 'Consoles' With DRM

01:09 schestowitz; I think we need more concepts

01:09 schestowitz; like, titles

01:09 schestowitz; headlines

01:09 schestowitz; DaemonFC: if you can suggest some

01:09 schestowitz; it's about what cars are turning intio

01:09 schestowitz; *into

01:09 schestowitz; I was upset enough about electric windows

01:09 schestowitz; they are a repair nightmare

01:09 schestowitz; not you have apps and gps and stuf

01:09 schestowitz; "apps"

01:10 schestowitz; "get the latest version, press "OK" to all"

01:18 DaemonFC; schestowitz, What concerns me is the selective disabling of features and the fact that a lot of the diagnostic troubleshooting codes can only now be accessed with dealership computers when previously the codes were all standard.

01:19 DaemonFC; This is obviously something they do to make their dealers happy. When you can only have the car worked on by a shop that charges three hundred percent more for labor.

01:20 DaemonFC; I'm a lot happier with an old piece of junk that runs than I would be with one of these modern cars.

01:20 DaemonFC; Even with lots of repairs, the modern cars cost 3.5-4x as much on average to make payments to banks and insurance companies. And they start depreciating immediately.

01:21 DaemonFC; By the time it's 2 years old, nobody wants to give you half of what you paid for it, and that's even if you managed to avoid any major damage.

01:21 DaemonFC; The great thing about an old car is they're pre-dented and pre-scratched.

01:21 DaemonFC; Some Mexican lady that didn't speak any English parked next to me and the wind caught her door a couple of days ago.

01:22 DaemonFC; WHACK! Right into the side of my car, and it scuffed some plastic trim a little, but I didn't care. The car's 20 years old. The body already has scratches and dents and a mismatched front bumper and a bit of rust.

01:23 MinceR; lol @ glug glug glug

01:23 DaemonFC; You get a new car and you end up parking it out in the middle of nowhere, right, and then some asshole driving an old jalopy parks out in the middle of nowhere next to you and hits your car anyway.

01:24 DaemonFC; And then you're really pissed because you JUST SIGNED THE PAPERWORK and you owe $60,000 of your life to this finance bank.

01:25 DaemonFC; You were hoping people would see you in a nice new car and say "Hey, he's doing okay!" and then when it was time, you'd sell it and get one of your testicles back.

01:25 DaemonFC; But nooooooooo.

01:25 DaemonFC; This guy.....

01:26 DaemonFC; schestowitz, Manchin killing the "Build Back Better" thing doesn't really hurt me that much.

01:26 DaemonFC; In fact, it may help.

01:27 DaemonFC; Why in the hell, exactly, should the federal government be in the business of essentially paying people to fuck? I mean it's already sending them checks for having kids.

01:28 psydroid2; Michael Moronix should team up with Michael Bay and Michael Knight to deliver the first movie about the Microsoft/Intel Saga featuring exiled and departed Vulkans among others

01:28 DaemonFC; Now they want to do "free" pre-K and "free" community college, and "free" everything else, for everyone else, after I just got to deal with the big suck for the last 20 years.

01:28 DaemonFC; Cut down every time it looked like I was going to gain an inch, and now everyone else wants something for "free" that comes out of my taxes and my inflated dollars.

01:29 DaemonFC; And in that bill is also more handouts for Elon Musk and the electric car meme.

01:32 DaemonFC; MinceR, Speaking of the cops trying to bait gay men....

01:32 DaemonFC; Back when being gay was a state crime in most of the country, I recall reading a story about something that happened in the 1960s, I want to say in North Carolina, but I'm not sure about that.

01:33 DaemonFC; The cops suspected a shopkeeper of being gay, but they couldn't prove it, so they launched a sting operation.

01:33 DaemonFC; They found an 18 year old and sent him into the store to come on to the guy, and basically he was just supposed to get the shopkeeper to admit what he would do and then come out and tell the police so that they could arrest him.

01:34 DaemonFC; But he went in and let the shopkeeper fuck him and then came out and told the police, and they arrested the shopkeeper, but not the informant.

01:50 DaemonFC; schestowitz, I've had some really horrible cars.

01:50 DaemonFC; The worst one was a 1995 Chevy Corsica, and a 1995 Ford Taurus wasn't far behind that.

01:50 DaemonFC; But the problem was that the original owners just didn't take good care of them.

01:50 DaemonFC; People buy a new car and then they don't even bother to do the most basic upkeep and it goes straight to hell.

01:51 DaemonFC; But what Toyota is doing ensures that the car essentially will have no resale value at all, and that's just stunning.

01:51 MinceR; better get a toyota from before 2018 :>

01:51 DaemonFC; Because the Japanese brands were like the last holdouts, which actually cared about producing stuff that held up, and they would advertise that most of the stuff they built was on the road 20 or 30 years later with half a million miles on it.

01:52 MinceR; though i wonder if the Land Cruiser J70s they're still making have any of this cellular backdoor bullshit in them

01:52 MinceR; it's supposed to be an old design, after all

01:52 MinceR; not very luxurious

01:53 DaemonFC; I don't really care about luxury. I care about getting places.

01:53 MinceR; :)

01:54 MinceR; Remote Start might still be a luxury feature

01:54 MinceR; and to some extent, so's any other feature they'd implement with that cellular connectivity

04:19 DaemonFC; schestowitz, The porn site's stats are probably the best indicator of desktop OS trends.

04:19 DaemonFC; They can get OS stats from everyone that goes there, vs. some third party adtech which technically savvy users are more likely to block.

04:20 DaemonFC; When you look at it from this angle, Windows as a desktop OS is at 64.7%.

18:17 DaemonFC; Eh, okay then.

18:17 schestowitz-TR; I don't want to mess with my main machine

18:18 DaemonFC; Seems to work okay on my computer.

18:18 schestowitz-TR; but I work a lot from this laptop, it doesn't even have any proprietary application

18:18 DaemonFC; Well, having 17 CVEs open on your default browser, some of which were fixed 75 days ago, is not good.

18:18 DaemonFC; This is partly Debian's fault for trusting Mozilla and allowing Mozilla to fuck them.

18:18 schestowitz-TR; I use librewolf

18:19 schestowitz-TR; (for gecko with pdf renderer)

18:19 schestowitz-TR; to me, it's amozilla issue

18:19 schestowitz-TR; not a debian issue

18:19 DaemonFC; Debian defaulting to Mozilla is a privilege for Mozilla, not a right.

18:19 schestowitz-TR; they move too fast

18:19 DaemonFC; Debian can do whatever it wants and it can take millions of users with it.

18:19 schestowitz-TR; yes, I said ti before

18:19 schestowitz-TR; moz treats us like trash

18:19 DaemonFC; Mozilla is abusing this privilege.

18:29 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, I think that Microsoft is still installing "extensions" into Firefox.

18:29 DaemonFC; Even as they hijack and pester the user not to use it.

18:29 schestowitz-TR; yes

18:30 schestowitz-TR; Microsoft being itself

18:30 schestowitz-TR; criminals

18:30 schestowitz-TR; maybe the criminals should bribe mozilla a bit

18:30 schestowitz-TR; just to 'pacify' and keep is quiet

18:30 schestowitz-TR; with those 'pesky' regulators out there

18:30 schestowitz-TR; the bribes are cheaper than fines

18:30 schestowitz-TR; ask James emlin

18:30 DaemonFC; What shocked me is how many people kept using Windows XP for so long, with Opera even.

18:31 DaemonFC; Like, my optometrist even went so far as to install that last Opera 12 update that just updated the TLS certificates.

18:31 schestowitz-TR; that's like using debian 3 or something

18:31 schestowitz-TR; in 2021

18:31 DaemonFC; And continued to use it on the web.

18:31 schestowitz-TR; shows what sort of mentality windows encourages

18:31 schestowitz-TR; "your computer is too old"

18:31 schestowitz-TR; "you need to pay for Windows AGAIN... new version"

18:32 DaemonFC; PCMag posted "Windows 11 is amazing" a few minutes ago.

18:32 schestowitz-TR; see XP in statcounter

18:32 DaemonFC; I replied:

18:32 schestowitz-TR; millions seem to still use XP

18:32 DaemonFC; Impressive that Windows has sunk to 64.7% desktop market share and falling (3% in the last year) and that was enough to drive Linux up 28%, Chrome OS up 25%, and Mac OS up 4%, according to Pornhub. Windows 11 released, billions in ads and paid s***tposting, and their market share is still falling.

18:32 schestowitz-TR; yes, exactly

18:32 schestowitz-TR; PCMag is corrupt

18:32 schestowitz-TR; part of the paid-for shitposting

18:32 schestowitz-TR; call them out on it

18:33 schestowitz-TR; their brand wil lose value

18:33 DaemonFC; "Linux" and Chrome OS are on fire, gaining users as fast as Windows can lose them.

18:33 schestowitz-TR; while they still cash on it for a little while l;onger

18:33 DaemonFC; Very nearly all of the people leaving Windows are going to Chrome OS or GNU/Linux.

18:33 DaemonFC; Mac OS gains a little, but not very much.

18:33 DaemonFC; Not as much as you'd expect.

18:34 DaemonFC; It's not a natural migration path though. Very expensive computer. GUI works very differently. Not an in-place solution on computers you have now.

18:35 DaemonFC; You can't just say fuck it and download a Mac OS ISO, but that's entirely due to Apple. If they wanted to, they could decouple the OS from the Mac, but then there'd be no reason to buy a Mac.

18:36 DaemonFC; Their business strategy seems to almost need a very low market share to maintain some sort of an "elite" image.

18:36 DaemonFC; Then they can charge the people who stay 30-40% more for each time they stay.

18:36 DaemonFC; It's like cigarettes.

18:37 *Red (~Red@joseon-41h.iim.kavont.IP) has joined #techrights

18:37 DaemonFC; Cigarettes used to cost $1 a pack, when I was a kid they had price wars between the major brands.

18:37 DaemonFC; They'd say "Marlboro is on sale this week for 98 cents!".

18:37 DaemonFC; "Oh yeah? Well, you can get yourself a nice pack of Winstons for 94 cents!"

18:38 DaemonFC; "Hey, Pyramid over here. We're really nasty but we're only 87 cents!"

18:38 *Red is now known as Guest43846

18:38 schestowitz-TR; can you proofread the new car blog post?

18:38 DaemonFC; Then the government noticed that everyone was smoking and it was costing Medicaid a fortune when they ended up on the dole with major health problems from the smoking.

18:38 *Guest43846 is now known as Redfoxmoon

18:39 DaemonFC; So the government got the Tobacco Master Settlement where the tobacco companies agreed to pay the government back their medicaid costs up to that point, reform so they couldn't market tobacco widely and would drop opposition to indoor smoking bans and quit smoking programs.

18:40 DaemonFC; Then the price of cigarettes started skyrocketing. Half because they wanted to ding the people who stayed, and half because the government started demanding high taxes so smokers would basically prepay their medical costs.

18:40 DaemonFC; And now they can be up to $15 a pack some places.

18:40 DaemonFC; <schestowitz-TR> can you proofread the new car blog post?

18:40 DaemonFC; Yeah.

18:40 DaemonFC; General inflation says that if the government hadn't acted, then cigarettes would be about $3 a pack or so by now.

18:41 DaemonFC; And two-thirds of the population would still be smoking them.

18:41 DaemonFC; I can't imagine a worse time to smoke.

18:41 DaemonFC; COVID is out there, it's fucking nasty. Not the worst plague ever, but the worst pandemic in 100 years easily.

18:41 DaemonFC; What's it doing to smokers?

18:42 DaemonFC; Still, they smoke.

18:42 DaemonFC; I don't even want to know how sick I'd be right now if I smoked.

18:42 DaemonFC; I already have a hard time shaking whatever this is.

18:45 DaemonFC; People don't seem to understand law of averages.

18:45 DaemonFC; They go "Well, my grandma smokes and she's 97.".

18:46 DaemonFC; Yeah, 1 in 3400 people make it to 100 in general. Your grandma smokes and she might. She probably took her odds to 1 in 40,000. Not impossible, but a few will.

18:46 DaemonFC; You probably won't. It's not a good idea to smoke.

18:48 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, My dentist wasn't kidding when I told him how cheap dentistry was in the Philippines and he went "Yeah, but they're working out of a hut and stuff.".

18:48 DaemonFC; The first thing that the dentist had to do here in the US was remove roots and part of a tooth they left in Mandy in the Philippines.

18:48 DaemonFC; So it would be more correct to say whoever passes for a dentist there didn't treat him very well.

18:49 DaemonFC; They have some sort of new partial plate that you can get here, and the insurance covers it. The dentist said he may even be her first patient to get it.

18:49 DaemonFC; No visible metal clasps and you can add teeth to it later if you need to.

18:50 DaemonFC; Which is nice.

18:50 DaemonFC; I like to buy things that are serviceable. Not something where one thing changes and you have to jury rig it or start all over.

18:50 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, I've jury rigged the Impala several times.

18:51 DaemonFC; The parking brake malfunctioned and started clacking when I made turns. The cable had already been fucked up and I zip tied it off to the frame of the car instead of repairing it.

18:51 DaemonFC; It needed a brake job anyway, so while they were in there anyway, I just had them remove the parking brake shoes and back plate.

18:52 DaemonFC; The parking brake can't actually stop the car in an emergency. The first thing you'll do is destroy the brake and it won't stop the car at that.

18:52 DaemonFC; It's there in case you're parked on a hill.

18:54 DaemonFC; It's at the point now where if it's not absolutely essential, I'm not even fixing things.

18:54 DaemonFC; The powertrain is in good shape for the age and mileage. I got all of the emissions issues fixed on the engine.

18:54 Ariadne; has anyone here noticed that gnu.org has been down for hours

18:55 DaemonFC; I'm hoping if it develops any more, then it happens after I get it smog tested in 2023 to renew my plate so I at least have until 2025 to replace the car if it's too expensive.

18:55 DaemonFC; <Ariadne> has anyone here noticed that gnu.org has been down for hours

18:55 DaemonFC; Works for me.

18:55 Ariadne; its quite down here

18:56 DaemonFC; The government is out of control.

18:57 DaemonFC; I'll end up filing my taxes with TurboTax again, which has pulled out of the IRS Free File system.

18:57 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, The good news seems to be that I didn't underestimate our taxes like I thought I did.

18:57 DaemonFC; We'll probably get $100 back from the feds.

18:58 DaemonFC; I was okay with paying them too, but the IRS has this fucked up rule where if you underpay by more than 10% of your tax bill -and- the underpayment is more than you owed last year, you owe them a penalty plus interest on the amount.

18:58 DaemonFC; So, the first time you underpay, you're fine, because of the second prong of the rule.

18:59 DaemonFC; But you need to adjust your withholdings so you pay at least 90% of your taxes next year, or else you trigger the penalty.

18:59 DaemonFC; The IRS does this so that people don't deliberately withhold too little and then invest it somewhere short term and then pay the IRS exactly what they would have later.


7 PM, December 20

19:00 DaemonFC; Right now, for example, you can buy I bonds at 7% (about) and hold them for 12 months and cash them in with a 3 month interest penalty, plus inflation is 7%, and the IRS interest on underpayments is only 3%.

19:01 XRevan86; Ariadne: So traceroute it :)

19:01 DaemonFC; So you may be better off triggering the penalty and parking the money in savings bonds anyway.

19:29 DaemonFC; The CDC says that "people who menstruate" may notice changes with COVID.

19:30 DaemonFC; I'm uncertain as to why only some people menstruate but I'm sure there used to be a word for them.

19:30 schestowitz-TR; a colleague of might got it

19:30 schestowitz-TR; and rianne will help cover

19:31 DaemonFC; There's nothing wrong with saying "women who menstruate". Even before the PC Babies, not all women did menstruate.

19:31 DaemonFC; Some never did, some went through menopause. Not all women menstruate.

19:31 schestowitz-TR; Some men menstrate

19:31 schestowitz-TR; it's in the word

19:32 schestowitz-TR; and this is a tech channel

19:32 schestowitz-TR; so let's stick to tech

19:32 schestowitz-TR; I have an article about the EPO coming

19:32 DaemonFC; A urologist, perhaps.

19:32 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 19.78 k/sec., IPFS upstream 148.83 average k/sec., average swarm size 252.26

19:32 schestowitz-TR; it's the subject that scares Microsoft

19:32 schestowitz-TR; can lead to bans in europe

19:32 DaemonFC; My insurance doesn't require a referral thank god.

19:33 DaemonFC; It took them forever to figure out that referrals to a specialist just cost the insurance company more money in the end because they had to cover useless PCP visits first where that's the only thing they told you to do.

19:33 schestowitz-TR; back to tech, DaemonFC

19:33 schestowitz-TR; you keep doing that

19:34 DaemonFC; I'm pretty sure this is New COVID.

19:34 DaemonFC; Mandy has it and he's sniffling but it hasn't gotten worse than that.

19:34 schestowitz-TR; it's just 2 paras

19:35 DaemonFC; Mom's tested negative over 20 times and they just let her work sick, as a nurse, because it's not coming back positive for COVID.

19:35 DaemonFC; Yeah.

19:35 DaemonFC; That's always how it seems to go. All of the old folks at a home get something, mom gets it from them. I go to see mom and then I'm dying for a month.

19:37 DaemonFC; Before that it was the hospital. She's bring back whatever was going around in the hospital and we'd all get sick with it, except my dad. I only recall him getting seriously ill with something once.

19:37 DaemonFC; And boy was that one nasty. It was a "stomach flu", and it got everyone, including the dog.

19:40 DaemonFC; It's always the Asian Flu, or the Russian Flu, or the Spanish Flu, or the Hong Kong flu. Like 90% of the time we blame it on Asians.

19:41 DaemonFC; It's never the American Flu or the British Flu.

19:41 DaemonFC; Or the Canadian Flu, eh?

19:52 DaemonFC; Then he came to the driver window and she rolled it down.

19:53 DaemonFC; Then he said it was a great meeting and kept talking until he was eventually fondling one of her breasts, in front of her husband who was in the passenger seat.

19:53 DaemonFC; They complained to the Waukegan Police and they said they wouldn't investigate it.

19:53 DaemonFC; They asked why not and the police said, "Why do you think?".

19:53 DaemonFC; And under Mayor Cunningham, the police were violating Illinois law to report immigrant detainees to ICE and hold them for pickup.

19:54 DaemonFC; I haven't heard about any major scandals under our new mayor.

19:54 DaemonFC; I voted for her.

19:54 DaemonFC; Cunningham was trying to run for mayor purely by campaigning to black people.

19:54 DaemonFC; That was a serious miscalculation.

19:55 DaemonFC; Between Hispanic/Latino, non-Hispanic whites, and Asian people, we have a voting majority, and we were so sick of him it didn't matter how much support he got from the black residents.

19:55 DaemonFC; That sexual assault against a (Latina) immigration advocate was the last straw.

19:56 DaemonFC; I read about that, and I mean, I'm sorry it happened to her. Sorry and disgusted that it happened.

19:56 DaemonFC; But I saw it for what it was and went down to vote on the first day the polls were open to poke Cunningham in the eye.

19:57 DaemonFC; He got a majority of my precinct (overwhelmingly black), but it doesn't matter. Everyone in the city can vote.

19:57 DaemonFC; Opportunity in crisis.

19:58 DaemonFC; If he was _only_ corrupt, we never would have gotten rid of him.

19:58 DaemonFC; And that's the problem. People accept garden variety corruption, but apparently the Hispanic/Latino population her draws the line at "pussy grabbing".

19:58 DaemonFC; *here

19:59 DaemonFC; Waukegan hasn't had a two-term mayor in 20 years.

8 PM, December 20

20:01 DaemonFC; "During the month of April 2019, Sam Cunningham and his mother, Lake County Board vice-chair Mary Ross Cunningham, were sued for allegedly violating the First Amendment rights of a Waukegan resident. The mayor allegedly threatened to revoke the resident's public housing voucher and potentially arrest the resident if he did not remove an altered image that depicted the two as devils.[9][10] The lawsuit reached a settlement of $17,000, with the

20:01 DaemonFC; county paying $12,000 and the city paying $5,000.[11] "

20:02 DaemonFC; Running the police department and having them figure out ways to arrest his political opponents....

20:02 DaemonFC; Then forces the city and county taxpayers to cover his loss in the lawsuit.

20:04 DaemonFC; "Taylors apparent win over Mayor Sam Cunningham, the citys first Black mayor, continues a trend dating to at least 1996 in which voters have not reelected a Waukegan mayor to a second term. She collected 55.58% of the 6,434 votes to Cunninghams 44.42%, according to unofficial results."

20:04 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, This is what is wrong with America.

20:04 DaemonFC; There are 90,000-ish people living in this city.

20:04 DaemonFC; Only 6,434 of them voted for a candidate for mayor.

20:04 schestowitz-TR; maybe they feel like it does not matter

20:05 schestowitz-TR; as the mayor would not work for them

20:05 schestowitz-TR; voting participation is a lot lower in failing democracies

20:10 DaemonFC; But if you look at yourself and go "I've killed 40 people and the police haven't caught me!" and you think the police are trying, it may lead to a sense of accomplishment.

20:10 DaemonFC; What usually ends up happening is by the time they've killed 2-3-4 dozen people, they eventually fuck something up so bad that even the police can't avoid catching them any longer.

20:11 DaemonFC; And then the only reason anyone knows how many they killed is they confess everything as a form of bragging.

21:36 DaemonFC; schestowitz, I'm going to attend that public meeting about what to do with the coal ash ponds over by the NRG plant.

21:36 DaemonFC; I'm not happy that they only plan to drain one and leave the other and sequester it with a cap and some cement.

21:37 DaemonFC; That's an environmental disaster waiting to happen, and they'll be so far gone from it by that point that it will be the state taxpayers who have to cover the cleanup.

21:37 *CrystalMath (~coderain@r7x8itxxvz7xn.irc) has joined #techrights

21:37 DaemonFC; And they're saying they want to leave it because draining it would cause "extra truck traffic" while they're in the process.

21:38 DaemonFC; Sequestration will probably stop it from leaking for 40 or 50 years.

21:38 DaemonFC; It's just another giant fuck you that industry is allowed to leave behind for people in the future.

21:39 DaemonFC; And that's assuming that they even sequester it "properly".

21:39 DaemonFC; We've seen how these things go. Companies that were allowed to leave behind lots of polluted sites in the 1970s because it would be a problem, oh, now.

21:40 DaemonFC; The recent infrastructure bill puts a billion dollars into the Superfund cleanup, but it's nowhere near enough.

21:41 DaemonFC; And it's not coming out of a tax or a fee on industry.

21:41 DaemonFC; In fact, it's not even coming from high income earners, who the bill gave a $200 million dollar tax cut to.

21:41 DaemonFC; ComEd is still in business after a wrist-slap fine.

21:42 DaemonFC; The bribery scandal finally forced Mike Madigan to resign after over 40 years as Illinois House Speaker.

21:42 DaemonFC; He was being called the Vladimir Putin of Illinois.

21:43 DaemonFC; Technically, under the Constitution, the position of House Speaker is lower down than the Governor, but in fact, Mike Madigan spent 40 years setting the House rules to grant near ultimate power to himself, and there were no term limits, and the only people who could vote on him were 40,000 people (out of a state of 12.8 million) in a small gerrymandered district near Midway Airport in Chicago.

21:44 CrystalMath; sorry about the reconnects, my router is broken

21:44 DaemonFC; So, in fact, he could give a fuck who the governor is. He outlasted over a dozen of them, he personally ended two of them. Impeaching one and making a disaster for the other.

21:45 DaemonFC; So that legacy is still around. Illinois, if it was a national government, is operating under a sort of semi-presidential system.

23:00 DaemonFC; And if they want to market a useless new drug, they simply discard all of the studies that don't support them.

23:00 DaemonFC; This is not science.

23:01 DaemonFC; They did this when they introduced "blockbuster" antidepressants, schestowitz-TR

23:01 DaemonFC; They took the studies that said they did no better than a placebo and put them in the shredder.

23:02 DaemonFC; Then they found the 1-2 studies that showed the group that got the antidepressant drug did a little better and submitted those to the FDA.

23:02 DaemonFC; Then, years later, they find out that people taking antidepressants are more likely to kill themselves, and add a warning that nobody reads to the paper that's a mile long.

23:03 DaemonFC; Of course, the FDA will do things like only approve an antidepressant for adults, and then psychiatrists will use it on children anyway because of course they do. And who will stop them? Nobody.

23:05 DaemonFC; The older tricyclic antidepressants appear to be more effective than the newer Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors.

23:05 DaemonFC; The funny part, and by funny I mean horrifying, is that most psychiatric drugs....they only hypothesize about how they might work.

23:06 DaemonFC; They literally do not know how most psychiatric drugs work. You read the shit that comes with them and it always goes "This drug is believed to work by....".

23:06 DaemonFC; So, what is psychopharmacology?

23:06 DaemonFC; Well, you get a bunch of old white men in a room.

23:07 DaemonFC; They start shouting out names of diseases that they think are mental disorders. They define the disease, vote on it, and then they work with the pharmaceutical companies to come up with drugs where nobody knows what the fuck they do to throw at people they diagnose with the diseases they came up with, which change btw!

23:07 DaemonFC; You can be defined as mentally ill and then have that mental illness completely delisted later.

23:08 DaemonFC; It's a miracle. They cured millions of homosexuals by declaring it was a mental disorder and then declaring that it wasn't.

23:08 DaemonFC; They still say being transsexual is a mental disorder.

23:09 DaemonFC; They hide it behind murky "mood disorders" which are either unclassified, or "sexual in nature" or "gender dysphoria".

23:10 DaemonFC; The whole idea of turning sex into a mental illness, I don't like to come back to sex all the time, but you almost have to because it really drives home the point of the hypocrisy and politicized nature of psychiatry.

23:10 DaemonFC; And how disorders are created and disposed of by consensus, not science.

23:11 DaemonFC; And how people are forced to go on treatments so they won't be a bother to others, not for any benefit to themselves.
