00:18 DaemonFC; The woke crowd has managed to convince almost half of all Black people that White people either have no right to exist at all or they're "not sure".
00:18 DaemonFC; That's what the story should be focusing on.
00:18 DaemonFC; Half the Black population wants you to kill yourself or isn't sure, and you're supposed to react to this somehow other than by calling that portion some kind of a hate group?

00:45 DaemonFC; MinceR, I noticed that the Euro coffee cups are actually convenient if you think about it.
00:46 DaemonFC; The correct strength of coffee is 1.5 Tablespoons per US cup, so if you convert that to Euro cups on the reservoir of the Moccamaster, you put 1 Tbsp of coffee in per Euro cup to get to the recommended strength on the bag of Dunkin' Donuts coffee.
00:47 DaemonFC; So instead of getting something weird like I want to make 5 cups so I need 7.5 Tablespoons of coffee....
00:47 DaemonFC; It always comes out to 1 Tbsp per Euro cup.
00:48 DaemonFC; And nobody even sells "American cups" of coffee anymore.
00:48 DaemonFC; Most of the coffee mugs are 2-4x a "cup" so the "cup" is almost meaningless.
00:48 DaemonFC; This is a problem with older cookbooks.
00:49 DaemonFC; I was making a recipe and I came across "use a coffee cup of" something and I had to call my mom and say "What the hell do they mean a coffee cup? I have 10 different sized cups!".

01:27 DaemonFC; "If the quality of the US' weapons is anything like that of their cars, then I'd advise all non-western countries not to buy them, and advise all western countries to replace their other superior weapons with the more expensive and unreliable inferior US ones."
01:27 DaemonFC; A comment on RT about American tanks.
01:27 DaemonFC; They pretty much wiped out all of the T-72s in Iraq without losing a single Abrams.
01:27 DaemonFC; So we know they're at least good enough to do that.
01:29 XRevan86; DaemonFC: RT is only good to "hate-read" (like "hate-watch" but read). Or to look for the Russian shills, like a certain Sy Hersh.
01:29 DaemonFC; Russia has already lost half of their tanks and there aren't even any modern European and American tanks in the country yet.

03:40 mjg59_; And if the question had been "It's ok to be any colour", do you think the results would have been the same?
03:41 DaemonFC; Saying black lives matter excludes everyone else's.
03:41 DaemonFC; Which is the entire point.
03:41 DaemonFC; It provokes. It's from a hate group.
03:41 mjg59_; Saying "It's ok to be white" excludes everyone who isn't white
03:41 DaemonFC; No it doesn't.
03:41 mjg59_; It provokes. It's from a hate group.
03:41 DaemonFC; Saying it's okay to be White doesn't say it's not okay to be anything else.

03:41 DaemonFC; It's a response to the anti-White movements that have sprung up probably.
03:42 DaemonFC; I doubt that 44% of Blacks have ever heard "It's okay to be White." in any "hate group" sense.

04:21 schestowitz[TR]; media: UNEMPLOYMENT IS LOW!!
04:21 schestowitz[TR]; "celebrate, peasants!!"
04:22 schestowitz[TR]; in 2008, wahpo was not owned by bezos
04:22 schestowitz[TR]; since then bill gates bought lots of media
04:22 schestowitz[TR]; inmc. bbc, guardian etc.
04:22 schestowitz[TR]; around 2010
04:22 schestowitz[TR]; so they follow "the script"
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; every other narrative seems outlandish
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; it contradicts the "established" media
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; that the billionaires bought
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; and it's then "fringe"
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; "conpriracy theory"
04:23 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: 10 million adults in the uk are not working right now
04:24 schestowitz[TR]; we have about 45 million, if not less, in that age range
04:24 schestowitz[TR]; so about a quarter are out of work
04:24 schestowitz[TR]; a million or so unable to work foor health reasons
04:24 schestowitz[TR]; in a sane media, they woould report 25% unemployment

04:24 TR Bot; Tux Machines today's howtos
04:24 DaemonFC; There's now a code that goes into your medical files in the US.
04:24 schestowitz[TR]; irrespective of reason
04:24 schestowitz[TR]; some stay-at-house housewives cannot work
04:24 DaemonFC; For "unvaccinated for COVID-19".
04:25 schestowitz[TR]; because sending kids to daycare is too expensive
04:25 schestowitz[TR]; like 900 pounds
04:25 schestowitz[TR]; and a salary part time is the same
04:25 DaemonFC; Yeah, daycare is so expensive it's not even worth having a job.
04:25 schestowitz[TR]; you can stay at home and save that money
04:25 DaemonFC; You'll just turn over the entire second income to some pervert.
04:25 schestowitz[TR]; or go to work to pay for the kids being taken care of whiule you work
04:25 schestowitz[TR]; you basically work to not work with the kidsa
04:25 schestowitz[TR]; and the salary is wiped
04:26 schestowitz[TR]; some people go to work just to pay for the car they go to work with
04:26 schestowitz[TR]; or a mortgage
04:26 schestowitz[TR]; and cars depreciate in value fast
04:26 schestowitz[TR]; if people work to live, that should mean people work do they have ample time for themselves later
04:26 schestowitz[TR]; this is not what's happening
04:26 schestowitz[TR]; the 9 to 5 types
04:26 schestowitz[TR]; are 8-to-6 types
04:26 schestowitz[TR]; communiting
04:26 schestowitz[TR]; no more WFH
04:26 schestowitz[TR]; and weekends are laundry etc.
04:27 DaemonFC; If 72,000 restaurants (net) failed and never came back in the US and 20 people worked each one.
04:27 schestowitz[TR]; so even weekends are just catchup time
04:27 schestowitz[TR]; you wake up 6am to get to ther office
04:27 schestowitz[TR]; go to sleep 10pm
04:27 DaemonFC; That's over 1.4 million jobs.
04:27 schestowitz[TR]; get back home 7ish, after buying food
04:27 DaemonFC; And they expect another 1,000 will fail this year.
04:27 schestowitz[TR]; so what you have left is maybe 2 hours to see the kids
04:27 schestowitz[TR]; and they call it "millenials have it easy"
04:27 DaemonFC; So where did all these people go work at? And better yet, what about the people they can't pay?
04:28 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC: not many eateries/diners left
04:28 schestowitz[TR]; even established ones shrank
04:28 schestowitz[TR]; they barely look for workers
04:28 schestowitz[TR]; and people who can cook and serve won't apply
04:28 schestowitz[TR]; so they won't count as out of work
04:28 DaemonFC; Yeah, the US is down 10% of its restaurants I'm told.
04:28 DaemonFC; 90% of what was there in 2019.
04:28 schestowitz[TR]; the oligarchs' media controls or dominates the narratives
04:28 DaemonFC; "Recovery" has leveled off.
04:28 DaemonFC; :)
04:28 schestowitz[TR]; so the reality in't being described correctly
04:28 schestowitz[TR]; or blamed on thw wrong thing
04:28 schestowitz[TR]; like "immigrants"
04:29 schestowitz[TR]; "MANDY!!!! STEAL MY MURCIAN JOBS!1"
04:29 schestowitz[TR]; <DaemonFC> "Recovery" has leveled off.
04:29 schestowitz[TR]; the level of rot decreased somewhat

04:50 schestowitz[TR]; msft was a threat in the 90s
04:50 schestowitz[TR]; in the 2000s still
04:51 schestowitz[TR]; but gradually lkess
04:51 schestowitz[TR]; due to vista
04:51 schestowitz[TR]; in 2010 onwards they attacked viciously

04:51 schestowitz[TR]; they still infiltrate and derail

04:56 schestowitz[TR]; " hand over fist"

04:57 schestowitz[TR]; no, layoffs are not normal

04:57 phanes; yes, they are
04:57 schestowitz[TR]; unless it's done easly
04:57 schestowitz[TR]; no, no... you are losing the plot
04:57 schestowitz[TR]; companies don't announce mass layoiffs if they do welkl
04:57 schestowitz[TR]; and then bombard the media with chaff
04:57 schestowitz[TR]; all this "HEY HI" nonsense
04:57 schestowitz[TR]; which evidentrly failed
04:57 phanes; dude i dont know how youre making your money but its not from doing business with these companies
04:57 schestowitz[TR]; because nobody cares about it anymnore

05:10 schestowitz[TR]; you signal trust in co men
05:11 schestowitz[TR]; ask gulagboy
05:11 schestowitz[TR]; that's what he does
05:11 schestowitz[TR]; showing his blind faith in criminal companies
05:11 schestowitz[TR]; and signalling this blind faith to them
05:11 phanes; I think you're making some assumptions. There is no trust that I have to have to honor an NDA. I simply am maintaining that I am trustable with information.
05:11 schestowitz[TR]; siirus was the first time i spoke out against a former or existing employer
05:12 phanes; Now granted, I see the futility of arguing this with someone who thinks its okay to post private messages in a public chat, so, it's clear you'll never hold a security clearance or be a part on an NDA, so, it must be only bad people that do it, but, secrecy is just as important as openness depending on context and how its used.
05:13 phanes; You have done that by the way. To me, even.
05:14 phanes; An NDA is just a document for "We are willing to share secrets with you if you promise not to tell them for a period of time under contract". Your credibility becomes bonded.
05:14 phanes; If you have no credibility, it's hard to see the utility of it.
05:14 phanes; But when you do, it becomes very important to honor it.
05:14 phanes; Even if it's for people you don't like.
05:15 phanes; Not because you got bought, but because you put your credibility on the test for it. Every NDA is a test of your character.
05:15 phanes; Every NDA I've ever signed could have been turned into a wall street article.
05:16 phanes; If I had done that, even once, I'd never get exposed to information again that would allow me to do the cool things I enjoy doing for companies.

05:18 phanes; no
05:18 schestowitz[TR]; by the defamation brigade
05:19 phanes; my credibility is pretty hard to challenge
05:19 schestowitz[TR]; and you signed an NDA with an Israeli dodgy company, KAPE
05:19 schestowitz[TR]; NDA is not a good test of character
05:19 phanes; who is KAPE
05:19 schestowitz[TR]; secrecy is not a vortue
05:19 schestowitz[TR]; esp. if iut helped hide bad things
05:19 schestowitz[TR]; KAPE owns PIA
05:19 schestowitz[TR]; and Lee
05:19 schestowitz[TR]; he's even in their board

05:19 phanes; my NDA isn't with KAPE

05:20 schestowitz[TR]; whatever PIA dressed itself up as
05:20 phanes; anyway, secrecy is absolutely a virtue. ive taken vows to hold some secrets under penalty of death even.
05:20 phanes; and it's an honor to do so
05:20 schestowitz[TR]; phanes: if it's withh the london trading company (forgot its name) or PIA, you signed KAPE NDA
05:21 phanes; schestowitz[TR], nah, you're making assumptions
05:21 schestowitz[TR]; PIA's chace at survival is at the ehands of the parenbt company
05:21 schestowitz[TR]; if it's willing to deepen the debt
05:21 schestowitz[TR]; it bought another VPN company
05:21 schestowitz[TR]; it has history with malware
05:21 schestowitz[TR]; so probably spying on the users one way or another
05:21 schestowitz[TR]; for some other interesdt groups
05:21 schestowitz[TR]; like Hollywood
05:21 schestowitz[TR]; i don't make assumption
05:22 schestowitz[TR]; i tell you what happens
05:22 schestowitz[TR]; and you rteject them
05:22 schestowitz[TR]; like azure layoffs
05:22 schestowitz[TR]; you said it was doing well
05:22 schestowitz[TR]; it's evidenrly not
05:22 schestowitz[TR]; and you told me twitter was doing well
05:22 schestowitz[TR]; even musk loyaliists are being laid off now
05:22 phanes; azure is doing well
05:22 schestowitz[TR]; it's always running at a loss
05:22 phanes; layoffs are routine
05:22 schestowitz[TR]; no
05:22 phanes; and yearly
05:22 schestowitz[TR]; and they are indicative of bad healtyh
05:22 schestowitz[TR]; that's why companies don't asually do them
05:23 phanes; now this year's are a little larger and sweep further across the whole market to other companies because of the pivot from AR/VR to ML
05:23 phanes; dude you are hosed on this one
05:23 phanes; it literally happens once a year
05:23 phanes; for /most/ F100 orgs
05:24 schestowitz[TR]; layoffs can also be "expensive" in the short run due to severance laws
05:25 schestowitz[TR]; <phanes> now this year's are a little larger and sweep further across the whole market to other companies because of the pivot from AR/VR to ML
05:25 schestowitz[TR]; no, you refuse to listen
05:25 schestowitz[TR]; azure had layoffs in 2020
05:25 schestowitz[TR]; in 20212
05:25 schestowitz[TR]; in 2022
05:25 schestowitz[TR]; and now again in 2023
05:25 phanes; yep much like i said
05:25 schestowitz[TR]; it is not doing well
05:25 schestowitz[TR]; and you believe microsodtr
05:25 schestowitz[TR]; aws did not have such layoffs
05:25 phanes; i dont subscribe to any msft propaganda i just read the market research reporting for their clients
05:26 schestowitz[TR]; thought aws has its own isues
05:26 schestowitz[TR]; clown computing is a bubble
05:26 schestowitz[TR]; and more companies realise this now
05:26 phanes; aws has layoffs they just are smaller in scope and dont get reported
05:26 schestowitz[TR]; no reports at all?
05:26 phanes; instead of doing a PR announcing theyre laying off 500 people, they'll lay off 10 people 50 times
05:26 phanes; not always
05:26 schestowitz[TR]; when did amazon fire 100 or 100 aws staff?
05:26 schestowitz[TR]; and they have loads of aws staff
05:26 schestowitz[TR]; gulag uis losing a ton of money on "clown"
05:26 phanes; i know, some of them are former students of mine
05:27 schestowitz[TR]; billions per quarter as of years ago
05:27 phanes; arguably besides maybe GCP, Azure is the worst CSP
05:27 schestowitz[TR]; hard to know how many PIA still employs
05:27 phanes; of the big ones anyway
05:27 schestowitz[TR]; their bloggers seem to have left
05:27 schestowitz[TR]; they cut budget for that
05:28 phanes; why does it matter how PIA is doing anyway, they were never terribly relevant
05:28 schestowitz[TR]; need to scroll up to see how it started
05:28 schestowitz[TR]; and why pia came up
05:28 schestowitz[TR]; freenode probab;y
05:28 phanes; oh maybe
05:28 schestowitz[TR]; DaemonFC mentioned twitter tossing out the musk boot lickers
05:29 schestowitz[TR]; and I said it's the same as in freenode/leenode
05:29 phanes; im sure that tire fire of a network is still burning
05:29 schestowitz[TR]; who even runs this network these days?
05:29 schestowitz[TR]; could be one or two people on 24/7 rota
05:29 schestowitz[TR]; and some Shells VMs
05:29 phanes; i'd poke my head in but im worried it might have collapsed into cannabalism
05:29 schestowitz[TR]; iirc, they use some linode
05:29 schestowitz[TR]; not leenode
05:30 phanes; im sure someone without an NDA can tell you
05:30 schestowitz[TR]; #techrights in freenode used to be a very busy channel
05:30 schestowitz[TR]; now... not a word in months, just checked again to be sure
05:31 phanes; yeah and the problems at libera are even worse so they prob wont let you be that big there
05:31 phanes; those guys are literal fascists
05:31 phanes; they just use nicer words while they're fascing
05:33 schestowitz[TR]; just got a leak

05:36 phanes; twitter was waste central
05:36 phanes; 10k employees to run a web app
05:36 phanes; lol
05:36 phanes; that's laughable
05:36 DaemonFC; It was actually closer to like 5,000?
05:36 phanes; it really was being mismanaged
05:37 DaemonFC; Of course it was.
05:37 DaemonFC; You had a CEO drinking salt water for his health?
05:37 phanes; lol
05:37 DaemonFC; Typical California bullshit.
05:38 phanes; 75 is overkill honestly
05:38 phanes; sure it needs some topological refactoring to get there, but most of that is tearing out technical debt
05:39 schestowitz[TR]; 75 people, 44 billion in market value? lol!

09:44 TR Bot; Once the promise of hope in Haiti, textile park is now laying off thousands of workers
09:44 DaemonFC; Layoffs on T-Shirt Island.
09:45 DaemonFC; "Sae-A Trading Co., which operates as S&H Global inside the Caracol Industrial Park in northeast Haiti, informed its partners and others this week that it will be closing one factory, which employs approximately 1,000 workers, and instituting widespread layoffs across its five remaining factories in northeast Haiti. The reductions will take the number of employees from 7,000 to 3,500.
09:45 DaemonFC; It is the latest blow to Haitis apparel manufacturing which, while known for its T-shirts, also produces U.S.-bound hospital garments, leggings and other clothing for customers like Walmart. Since December 2021, the country has lost 11,000 apparel jobs, with more expected in the coming months, says a member of the local Association of Haiti Industries that monitors the sector.
09:45 DaemonFC; The country is now down to about 49,000 garment jobs from 60,000 after the 2010 earthquake."

09:48 DaemonFC; The only thing that the US has is the ability to by tyrannical.
09:48 DaemonFC; Mostly to foreigners, but citizens as well, especially if you get in their way.
09:49 TR News; Let's Encrypt (LE, controlled by the so-called 'Linux' Foundation, i.e. monopolies and raiders of the Commons) is NOT security but mostly another increase/increment to the existing (very steep compared to Gemini/Gopher) entry barrier.
09:49 DaemonFC; That's not a uniquely American thing.
09:49 TR News; It compels people everywhere in the world, even non-technical folks, to rely on misleading Web browsers that impose US hegemony (scaring users if not outright obstructing/blocking them for disobedience)
09:49 DaemonFC; Most countries in the world, if they accumulate any real power, use it to violently fuck-up and enslave other countries.
09:49 TR News; it makes self-hosting extra hard (in turn begetting further centralisation, i.e. censorship and surveillance against everyone), and for people who blog less than once every 3 months it makes no sense to rotate certificates every 3 month or pay annual fees to GoDaddy et al.

09:51 schestowitz[TR]; <DaemonFC> If layoffs hit women especially hard, why are almost all suicide victims men?
09:51 schestowitz[TR]; false.
09:51 schestowitz[TR]; majority -- maybe
09:51 DaemonFC; The only reason you would is if you recompile it for Windows XP for some reason.
09:51 schestowitz[TR]; depends where
09:51 TR News; Reliance on GoDaddy in in itself a security and safety risk, as GoDaddy can go for years without telling staff and clients that it suffered a beach. GoDaddy isn't the only one. Outsourcing "trust" is generally "risky business". LE is the wrong way to solve a real problem, or a solution to a problem not Internet users were having but rich censors and media magnates had.
09:51 DaemonFC; Most suicide victims in the US are men aged 15-34.
09:52 TR News; It also makes hosting more expensive (support tickets increase).
09:52 DaemonFC; It's a leading cause of death.
09:52 DaemonFC; The US government does nothing about it pretty much.

10:05 DaemonFC; Between 55-74, the rate collapses again, and then it goes up.

21:22 DaemonFC; Sensitivity censors have apparently gone over and vandalized James Bond novels too now.
21:22 DaemonFC; The defaced editions will go on sale in April.
21:22 DaemonFC; Thanks to pirates, we'll have the ones that were actually written.
21:22 DaemonFC; One of the woke edits implies that it's impossible for Black people to be drunk and disorderly like anyone else can be.
21:22 DaemonFC; You take a group of White people in Indiana and say they're a bunch of drunkards and everyone laughs and laughs.
21:22 DaemonFC; You have it in a James Bond book and they're Black, censors.
21:22 DaemonFC; Ryan Alcaraz
21:22 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
21:22 DaemonFC; Almost nobody abides by the law while drunk. I don't see how that passage in the Bond novel Live and Let Die is particularly offensive to Black people.
21:22 DaemonFC; Part of being drunk is that you aren't making the best decisions at the time. This is how a lot of police shit happens.
21:22 DaemonFC; Trust me, I've seen a lot of White drunkards get hauled away by the police. I'd say they're pretty law abiding chaps, really, except when they're drunk.
21:23 DaemonFC; :)
21:29 DaemonFC; I'm glad I don't have to understand alcoholism.
21:29 DaemonFC; I guess I'm just not that Irish.
21:29 DaemonFC; Their whiskey sucks anyway.
21:31 DaemonFC; Now, William H. Macy is one of those actors that deserves all the awards he's gotten and probably a couple more.

21:35 DaemonFC; Because thanks to Matt GULAG's ilk, soon we won't have any.
21:35 DaemonFC; It's not just the shitty offensiveness of it all, with the "sensitivity edits" to appease weak woke assholes.
21:36 DaemonFC; It's that they obviously have stupid people doing the edits, so you're reading along and then you hit one of the edits, and they've done such an absolute shit job with the edit, it's like your car going over a pothole.

21:45 DaemonFC; There's actually people out there that think if you go all Fahrenheit 451, there won't be any fat people, there won't be attractive women, there won't even be women for that matter (or men).
21:45 DaemonFC; You can make it totally impossible for Black people to drink too much alcohol and get rowdy by changing books, you know.
21:45 DaemonFC; It just can't happen. Because of book vandalism, Black people (and only them) can't get drunk anymore.
21:48 DaemonFC; Ryan Alcaraz
21:48 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
21:48 DaemonFC; Obviously, if you wrote a book today it would be a little less harsh in some of these cases, but that doesn't give you a license to go back and alter the past.
21:48 DaemonFC; It just is what it is, and by whitewashing everything, you're making it look like those people always had acceptable views, and then what are you raging against?
21:48 DaemonFC; After all, there were no racists in the 60s.

22:03 DaemonFC; Ryan Alcaraz
22:03 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
22:03 DaemonFC; What's going on with Hollywood and literature right now is like farmers doing "Shoot, Shovel, and Shut Up" when they find an endangered species on their land.
22:03 DaemonFC; They did some awful things in the past and now it's time to burn and bury all of the evidence so you can't accuse them of ever having done anything wrong.
22:07 DaemonFC; Ryan Alcaraz
22:07 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
22:07 DaemonFC; NPR's American Ocelot sort of vaguely referenced the unintended effect of the American Endangered Species Act.
22:07 DaemonFC; If you find an endangered species on millions of dollars worth of farm land or cattle grazing land or a ranch or whatever, you're supposed to report it and let the government come in and deal with it, but these folks know how heavy handed the feds are and they shout "Like Hell!" and just kill the animals themselves and bury them so that nobody interferes with their use of land.
22:07 DaemonFC; Ryan Alcaraz
22:07 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
22:07 DaemonFC; Of course, Shoot, Shovel, and Shut Up is highly illegal, but it happens all the time.
22:07 DaemonFC; Some people have been caught and convicted of it, and punished severely, but the odds of the police solving any of these crimes is so slim that when you're facing the loss of use of gigantic amounts of farmland, without compensation from the government, the Endangered Species Act is a perverse incentive to kill the animals.
22:07 DaemonFC; Penn & Teller had an episode of Bullshit! about the ESA.
22:09 DaemonFC; Ryan Alcaraz
22:09 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
22:09 DaemonFC; Big Government tries to portray on the successes, never the failures.
22:09 DaemonFC; They promote "25 million lives" allegedly saved by PEPFAR, not millions more who died due to drug patents.
22:09 DaemonFC; They promote ESA for saving bald eagles, but ignore the fact that farmers and ranchers have driven hundreds of species to extinction or close to because of it.
22:09 DaemonFC; They promote the success of the Paycheck Protection Act, not how half of it was stolen by criminals and landlords.
22:09 DaemonFC; There's a pattern, and statists eat it up.
22:10 DaemonFC; MinceR, ^
22:11 MinceR; yeah
22:14 DaemonFC; It's not that these programs do no good.
22:14 DaemonFC; It's that they do at least equal, sometimes greater, harm, somewhere else.
22:15 DaemonFC; So you end up in a situation where nobody wants to scrap it because there's some good, but they aren't very happy with the negative results, but they won't say that.
22:16 DaemonFC; With this new EARN IT Act, the alleged purpose is to go after child sex offenders. And anyone in their right mind wants them all in prison, but there's enough unenforced laws on the books to do that today and make sure they never get out.
22:16 DaemonFC; The purpose of the EARN IT Act is to make it impossible to retain any of your privacy from the government and the tech companies.
22:16 DaemonFC; The tech companies have no reason to fight because it enables them to gather data and spy on us like they've never been able to before.
22:16 DaemonFC; And both they and the government can say "CSAM" if anyone complains, and shut that down immediately.
22:17 DaemonFC; mjg59_ laid the foundation to support EARN IT with his "secure boot" crap.
22:17 DaemonFC; And now with Pluton.

22:20 DaemonFC; EARN IT (see last post) is basically PRISM on some Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 80s steroids.

22:22 DaemonFC; PRISM on Steroids has always been the endgame of the US government, especially after they got caught and had to pretend to roll a little of it back with "USA FREEDOM ACT".
22:22 DaemonFC; It was a bump in the road, and now with EARN IT they can take it all back and more.

22:25 DaemonFC; The only "gun reform" Biden signed with a federal incentive for states that don't already operate like this to go ahead and do it to their residents.
22:25 DaemonFC; And the Republicans handed it to him.

22:27 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
22:27 DaemonFC; There's only three legitimate responses to Illinois Governor Pritzker.
22:27 DaemonFC; Despise him.
22:27 DaemonFC; Disgust at his behavior.
22:27 DaemonFC; Sue the bastard.
22:27 DaemonFC; Tom DeVore is handling the third one.
22:29 DaemonFC; It's looking like the state of Illinois is going to throw away a pile of taxpayer money defending this middle of the night no debate law, and it'll lose.
22:29 DaemonFC; After it has to pay our court costs, I wonder if DeVore has to refund it to the people who retained him.
22:39 DaemonFC; There's a bigger anime following than ever.
22:39 DaemonFC; Most of it isn't the result of whiners from namby pamby land like mjg59_ on focus groups and an extreme corporate culture, like the US has.
22:40 DaemonFC; Amazingly, a lot of Japan's creative industry has survived a business climate that's even more obnoxious than the US.
22:41 DaemonFC; Most of the comments on RT are laughing about Twitter firing a bunch of people.
22:41 DaemonFC; Musk is "draining the swamp". Those people "weren't doing anything".
22:42 DaemonFC; He has $14 billion in debt, is being sued by all of their vendors.
22:44 DaemonFC; https://www.rt.com/news/572111-white-house-covid-lab-leak/
22:44 TR Bot; House distances itself from Covid lab-leak theory RT World News
22:44 DaemonFC; Yeah, the Energy Department released the "lab leak" theory.
22:45 DaemonFC; It's crazy to try to engineer nasty viruses, but that doesn't mean governments don't do it.
22:45 MinceR; again, i don't believe RT
22:45 DaemonFC; The US government has some, including weaponized smallpox.
22:45 DaemonFC; Ready to go.
22:46 DaemonFC; The thinking goes that when you're ready to unleash it on an enemy country, you quickly spin up a mass vaccination campaign to make sure not many of your citizens die of it.
22:46 MinceR; https://engrish.com/2022/12/quick-before-the-germs-escape/
22:46 TR Bot; Quick, before the germs escape!
22:46 DaemonFC; The Chinese leaked out a biowarfare agent before they had a functional vaccine.
22:46 DaemonFC; And then everyone panicked and created really shitty vaccines fast.
22:47 DaemonFC; You can have a vaccine of sorts to most things very quickly, if you're willing to accept that they have a lot of side effects and hardly work.
22:47 DaemonFC; If we were willing to accept a 28% efficacy rate, we'd have an HIV vaccine tomorrow.
22:47 DaemonFC; This is basically what happened with COVID shots.
22:48 DaemonFC; And then they (1) call everyone who says there's side effects kooks and liars, even if it's because they personally witnessed it (gaslighting) and (2) call them 95% effective while everyone is getting COVID anyway and it's still awful.
22:49 DaemonFC; mjg59_ is clearly part of this problem.
22:49 DaemonFC; What's the goddamned point of all of these shots? That last one was worse on Mandy than fucking COVID, and he had to use sick days for the shot, and so on and so forth.
22:49 DaemonFC; He barely woke up for three days after updated booster.
22:50 DaemonFC; And when I was able to rouse him, it was for like a few minutes to help him into the shower on day 3 and get a Big Mac in him because he hadn't eaten anything.
22:50 *immibis (~quassel@yh8rvxcviamba.irc) has joined #techrights
22:50 DaemonFC; These fucking shots, man, nobody knows what they're doing to you, but in the end we got COVID anyway and the shots were useless and worse than COVID.
22:51 immibis; DaemonFC: was your shot worse than COVID?
22:51 DaemonFC; Mine just made me feel a bit weird, but then I got terribly sick with COVID anyway 6 weeks later (peak immunity as luck would have it).
22:51 DaemonFC; So "alleged" immunity.

22:51 DaemonFC; Mandy's "updated booster" put him in bed and unable to shower, eat, or wake up, for three days.
22:51 DaemonFC; And was worse than COVID.
22:52 DaemonFC; Which he got.
22:52 DaemonFC; These things either don't work or only barely work.
22:52 DaemonFC; And have extreme side effects in some cases.
22:52 DaemonFC; They've responded by hiding it all and then declaring the pandemic to be over.
22:53 DaemonFC; It's like if Putin one day manages to lose officially in Ukraine and pull out.
22:53 DaemonFC; Then declares success.
22:53 DaemonFC; It's nothing more than bullshit and propaganda.
22:53 DaemonFC; You lose and then say you won so that people don't fucking hang you.
22:53 immibis; welcome to capitalism
22:54 DaemonFC; And it works because people are fucking dumb.
22:54 immibis; actually that one isn't really capitalism. though it sort of is, because they wanted the "economy" "open"
22:54 DaemonFC; Yeah, it's difficult to have a war and a pandemic.
22:54 DaemonFC; So "pandemic over".
22:54 DaemonFC; "Back to work."
22:54 DaemonFC; Pay your taxes and unlimited suffering so we can dump $200 billion on Ukraine.
22:55 immibis; did you know landlords didn't pay over a billion dollars of mortgages because people are working from home?
22:55 DaemonFC; What's that? Where did half of it go? LALALA
22:55 DaemonFC; <immibis> did you know landlords didn't pay over a billion dollars of mortgages because people are working from home?
22:55 DaemonFC; Yeah, the company that owns the mall in Gurnee is in deep shit.
22:55 immibis; oh those two things are unrelated. There wouldn't be any money for American people, no matter whether there was money for Ukrainian people or not
22:55 DaemonFC; Most of their malls are so bad now that they're at half capacity or less.
22:56 immibis; it's not like the money for Ukraine is what's holding up the money for America
22:56 DaemonFC; In some cases, they can't rent out the space so they turn them over to the city and run a school and a police department office there.
22:56 DaemonFC; Gurnee was so desperate to get an anchor tenant for Gurnee Mills that the city paid $58,000 in taxpayer-funded incentives to the company per job.
22:57 DaemonFC; $58,000 in tax money, per job, so they'd open a store and make money.
22:57 DaemonFC; And those jobs only pay about $22,000 per year.
22:57 immibis; capitalism
22:58 DaemonFC; So it's like the city saying we'll pay for all of your salaries for three years if you open a fucking arts and crafts store ran by criminals who paid to have artifacts smuggled from Iraq and are fighting to turn the United States into Fundamentalist Christian clone of Iran.
22:59 DaemonFC; Most Christians don't see women as equals to men. Because in the bible, they aren't.
22:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0
22:59 DaemonFC; When a man tells you to do something you do it.
22:59 DaemonFC; Especially when it's your husband.
23:00 DaemonFC; When a man rapes you, it's not punished. People gather round and stone you for not being a virgin anymore.
23:00 DaemonFC; LOL
23:00 DaemonFC; Yeah, this is a good system for government.
23:00 DaemonFC; I mean, you want to be a Christian nation, women? Let's cut the shit then.
23:03 DaemonFC; Ryan Alcaraz
23:03 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
23:03 DaemonFC; A new study shows a stroke and heart attack risk for artificial sweeteners made from Stevia.
23:03 DaemonFC; Others may be dangerous. We don't know because the FDA and others won't investigate.
23:03 DaemonFC; I've heard speculation that pallets of Diet Coke left in the sun were the cause of Gulf War Syndrome, but that's a bit of a stretch considering the experimental anthrax vaccines, burn pits, and everything else happening back then.
23:06 immibis; they can't say what they really think
23:07 immibis; they say more and more of it as it becomes more and more acceptable
23:08 immibis; like the politicians now saying transgender people should not be allowed to exist

23:22 TR Bot; Sheriff's deputy responding to 911 call seriously injured after driver runs stop sign, causing crash in Waukegan
23:22 DaemonFC; "Covelli said that the driver of the pickup reported the last thing he remembered before the crash was opening a beer."
23:23 DaemonFC; "Pardon me while I admit to wrongdoing!"
23:23 DaemonFC; Never admit to wrongdoing. Ever.
23:24 DaemonFC; Admitting guilt is the worst thing you can possibly do in court. Everything you admit to will be at least that bad later.
23:34 immibis; yup, they got me there. "Just tell us what happened" well my view of "everything that happened" includes more things I did wrong than they did wrong, just because I was there for the things I did wrong. So the defendant was acquitted, or something like that, idk exactly as I was outside of the courtroom for most of it due to being a witness, and it was in German anyway.
23:34 immibis; they had to pay my legal fees (about $800) but nothing more than that
23:35 immibis; and then my lawyer said if I'd embellished the truth, they could've been in jail. I'm not going to "embellish the truth", but next time I probably won't describe everything I remember about the event, either.
23:51 DaemonFC; Yeah, the cops usually encourage the "complaining witness" to lie and give them more dirt on you.
23:53 DaemonFC; One time, a cop was trying to get someone to say I raped him and the guy didn't get the hint that the cop was trying to frame me for rape. So he told the cop "No, of course he didn't rape me! We had sex, but there was no rape.".
23:53 DaemonFC; And so the cop writes down in the report that "Complaining witness denies having been raped and claims that all sex was consensual.". Like, just putting the word "rape" in the police report makes it worse even if there's nothing to charge you with.
23:54 DaemonFC; Then to get there and imply there was rape, he insinuates that their own witness was lying to them and downplaying things.
23:54 DaemonFC; Like, they're already in a police station complaining about something and do you think they're going to leave out a major crime while they're TRYING to destroy me?
23:54 DaemonFC; Fucking hello.
23:55 DaemonFC; Cops hate gay people.
23:55 DaemonFC; No matter what they're actually charging you with, they'll try to invent things out of thin air to make it worse.
23:55 DaemonFC; There's not very many gay cops because they get hazed and harassed and chased out by the other cops.
23:56 DaemonFC; It's a toxic work environment because the cops don't tolerate gay cops.
23:56 DaemonFC; Either you leave NOW or they'll make you leave somehow.
23:57 DaemonFC; Trying to be a gay cop in America in 2023 is like trying to be a black cop in 1955.
23:57 DaemonFC; Maybe there was one somewhere but I've sure never seen any in photos.
23:58 DaemonFC; If you aren't like, to the right of Hitler, the cops don't want you there and will fuck with you until you leave.
23:58 DaemonFC; That's why so many of the cops are on those leaked lists of Domestic Terrorists, in the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys.
23:59 DaemonFC; Like 90% of the cops, if not more, are Republicans.
