00:29 DaemonFC; When it's easier to flee a state than to make it work for everyone, you have a serious problem.
00:29 DaemonFC; Illinois is losing so many residents it's like someone pulled the bathtub stopper.
00:29 DaemonFC; If we had the Census right now, we'd lose another Congressional District and Electoral Vote immediately because the Democrats are fine with burning the state to ashes to rule over what's left.

02:25 DaemonFC; They're fucking broke as shit.
02:25 MinceR; and how are you helping the orcs east of here?
02:25 DaemonFC; And they're gutting their military along with everything else to try to get it under control.
02:25 MinceR; also, have they "mobilized" you yet?
02:26 DaemonFC; The UK used to be kind of what the US is now, militarily.
02:26 MinceR; that was pretty long ago
02:26 schestowitz[TR]; 100+ years
02:26 DaemonFC; They were feared. Now they're just a laughingstock that could barely go to war with Argentina 40 years ago, and they're worse off than that now.
02:26 schestowitz[TR]; the issue here is wealth distribution
02:26 schestowitz[TR]; usa mesed it up much worse than here
02:26 schestowitz[TR]; hence, maybe a million in tents or homeless
02:27 MinceR; afaict that issue exists everywhere
02:27 MinceR; most of the wealth is controlled by sociopaths
02:27 DaemonFC; My guess is that a much higher percentage of Russians are in tent cities.

02:30 DaemonFC; Right, population density is bad and people can't preserve the wealth they do have because of no abortion.
02:30 DaemonFC; Which is the result of Catholicism, and worse.
02:30 schestowitz[TR]; being devour catholic and muslim, it reproduces as fast as subsaharan african countries
02:30 schestowitz[TR]; *devout
02:30 DaemonFC; I have a moral objection to abortion, but many of the alternatives are worse.
02:31 DaemonFC; So it's one of those "What do you do?" things. Civilized people see people in dirt floor living conditions can't take care of any of the kids properly because they have the money for one and there's five.
02:31 DaemonFC; And they go "My God, this is awful.".

02:32 DaemonFC; So five kids get a really shitty life (not enough food, no vaccines, no trips to the dentist, no education or job opportunities) instead of one getting a decent one.
02:32 MinceR; this dump isn't too moist, it's too dry
02:32 DaemonFC; MinceR, It turns into a fucking swamp in here in Springtime.

02:33 XRevan86; "My guess is that a much higher percentage of Russians are in tent cities" <- Judging by that I can't even picture one, probably not.
02:33 DaemonFC; You'll pull about a gallon of condensate out of the air each day with the dehumidifier just trying to get the RH down to 45%.
02:33 MinceR; it's where russians freeze to death in the winter :>
02:34 DaemonFC; I have so much of it I get rid of a lot of it by using it for car washes and laundry water.

02:34 XRevan86; MinceR: The dirt pits?
02:34 MinceR; :>
02:34 MinceR; well, i read that they used to have some tents, though they couldn't afford to heat them
02:35 DaemonFC; What food the Russians do pass out to the troops isn't nutritionally complete.
02:35 DaemonFC; You can live on US field rations as long as you have to, really.
02:35 MinceR; it's fine, they wouldn't live long anyway
02:35 XRevan86; Yea, that was tongue and cheek of me. But before that the context was the homeless, was it not?
02:35 MinceR; :>
02:36 DaemonFC; It's not outstanding stuff, but it's not food poisoning in a pouch or totally unconcerned with being nutritionally balanced.
02:36 DaemonFC; The Russian and Chinese MREs are just awful.
02:37 DaemonFC; The Russian MREs say you're not supposed to try to live on it for more than 6 days.
02:37 MinceR; well, that explains their strategy and lack of training
02:37 DaemonFC; It's meant to get you fed until they set up a field kitchen.
02:37 MinceR; they're just obeying the instructions on their MREs!
02:37 MinceR; "kill in 6 days", got it.
02:37 DaemonFC; On the seventh say they go die in battle or commit suicide?

02:43 DaemonFC; The Republicans have a margin of error of 5 votes, and that's only because a Democrat Representative-elect died and a special election had to be called.
02:43 MinceR; i guess winnie the pooh didn't have enough money to do it either
02:43 DaemonFC; But they still may be arguing about this until his replacement is sworn in.
02:43 DaemonFC; :)
02:44 MinceR; winnie the poor
02:44 DaemonFC; The Republicans didn't get the overwhelming majority in the House they needed to claim a mandate and do anything.
02:44 DaemonFC; Hakeem Jeffries will be able to use the Discharge Motion to force votes on a lot of legislation.
02:45 DaemonFC; And will only need <2% of Republicans to vote Yes on the bills.
02:45 DaemonFC; So the fracture in the Republican Party is a lot bigger than this.
02:45 MinceR; yeah, but what is on the less odious side of the fracture?
02:45 DaemonFC; A Discharge Petition is a way to force votes the Majority doesn't really want.

02:46 DaemonFC; Trump is throwing his support behind Kevin McCarthy.
02:46 DaemonFC; But the other side (in leadership anyway) is essentially a Nazi Party that's formed and has at least 36 members that don't want to budge.
02:47 DaemonFC; Trump would probably rather deal with them, but he realizes they don't have "the numbers".
02:47 DaemonFC; So he goes along with the less extreme faction for now.
02:47 DaemonFC; But even his endorsement of McCarthy won't necessarily work.
02:47 MinceR; lol
02:47 MinceR; how does the less extreme faction like being endorsed by former president Moscovian Candidate?
02:48 DaemonFC; Openly? He's turned into He Who Shall Not Be Named among most of them.
02:48 DaemonFC; It's a complete mess, actually.
02:49 MinceR; and what's their stance on putler?
02:49 DaemonFC; Most of them would rather keep pulverizing the Russians if for no other reason than an excuse for steering tax money to weapons manufacturers.
02:50 MinceR; nice
02:50 DaemonFC; So publicly they speak of support for Ukraine, but it's about the money going to "defense contractors".
02:51 DaemonFC; It's led to overwhelming votes in favor for more materiel going to Ukraine.
02:51 DaemonFC; Most likely the Patriot missile is next on the list.
02:51 DaemonFC; They've already trained a lot of Ukrainians on them, they just don't have any yet.
02:51 DaemonFC; But we can get those to them in the next few months probably.
02:51 MinceR; it would be better if they nuked, occupied and partitioned orcland, but it's one of the better options

02:52 DaemonFC; The only option left is to send the Horrifying Human Wave.
02:53 MinceR; i thought it was only a good idea to use Patriot missiles on bigger, more expensive stuff
02:53 DaemonFC; And they'll be splayed by artillery fire mostly.
02:53 DaemonFC; You can.
02:53 DaemonFC; It depends on how many of which sort of missiles we give them.

03:48 DaemonFC; It's almost impossible to throw enough heat into this apartment to matter much.
03:48 DaemonFC; It has a coldness to it that almost seems to come out of the floor and go directly into your legs.
03:52 DaemonFC; MinceR, So there's this really fucked up Japanese anime OVA that depicts and improper relationship with a minor, and apparently it's infamous, and all of the people who did this thing also did a lot of "legitimate" stuff that was even on the Cartoon Network.
03:53 DaemonFC; As horrible as the plot of this goes, that wasn't even the part that disturbed me the most.
03:54 DaemonFC; The first of the three has that as the plot point, but then after a child is sexually groomed and apparently graphically victimized by an older man (and nothing bad even happens to the older man over it in the story!), he "turns gay" and the other two involve this kid and other kids.
03:54 DaemonFC; It just sounds like the most disgusting thing I've read about recently, and for a lot of reasons.
03:55 DaemonFC; Not the least of which is they've actually stumbled into legitimizing a fundamentalist Christian belief that most gay people were raped by an older man when they were a child.
03:55 DaemonFC; And no matter how much they press you to say that's what happened and you say no it wasn't, they don't believe it.
03:56 DaemonFC; It's like to their mind, there's something so unnatural and sick about being gay that something truly awful that you've repressed caused it to happen. Probably because that would make it a mental illness.
03:57 DaemonFC; And they don't want to make it a mental illness so that they can feel sorry for gay people. They want to make it a mental illness because they go looking for weakness so they can feel _better_ about bullying those people that they've flagged as weak and defective.

04:21 schestowitz; "Time wasting technologies are those that force preformative make-work and bullshitting activities. They offer what Richard Stallman calls "digital disservices". For example; copying data, row by row, from one spreadsheet to another might be justified in an air-gapped top-secret facility. It is unacceptable where administrators, following a brain-dead "policy", have stupidly disabled copying via some dreadful Microsoft feelgood security "feature".
04:21 schestowitz; This is the kind of poorly thought out "fine grained" drudge-making security that Microsoft systems seem to celebrate and the kind of features that power-hungry, controlling bosses get moist over. It is anti-work. And such an expressed lack of trust is grossly insulting to workers toiling on mundane admin work under such low security stakes."

07:49 DaemonFC; They're being cheated, we're being cheated. Billionaires hoard all of the money and find people like mjg59_ to help cause millions to become unemployed.
07:50 DaemonFC; If the company he works for succeeds, then what? 7 million truck drivers lose their jobs and even more people are at each other's throats over remaining work.
07:50 DaemonFC; Just like this automation at McDonalds.
07:51 DaemonFC; The future of America is that the unemployment problem just keeps growing and growing until most people want hte government overthrown and have no reason not to do it because it's already helped the elite steal everything from them.

07:54 DaemonFC; "In this context, many young people have decided to lower their ambitions: The term tang ping (lying flat) has been making the rounds on social media in recent months the idea being to opt out of pursuing success in favour of adopting a simpler lifestyle"
07:54 DaemonFC; Being less ambitious. Now there's a concept.
07:55 DaemonFC; "Since then, testimonies of weariness about the rat race have proliferated on the internet although Chinese censors have quickly deleted them. T-shirts bearing the phrase Lying down soon became popular before disappearing from online shops with similar speed. According to a survey by tech giant Weibo between May 28 and June 3, 61 percent of its sample said they were ready to adopt the lying-down attitude."
07:55 DaemonFC; The government things that the "giant delete button" is going to work when people are burning out and dying?

08:00 DaemonFC; They have more buttons and programs and wizmos on them now.
08:01 schestowitz[TR]; more things to go wrong
08:01 schestowitz[TR]; and be impossible to repair
08:01 DaemonFC; Mine is an older model that I kind of have to do stupid things with sometimes. Like, you can't put in a manual cooking cycle, so I say "This is soup. High Pressure 5 minutes.".
08:01 schestowitz[TR]; like it would not even turn on
08:01 schestowitz[TR]; because of soem bad diode
08:01 DaemonFC; And I need a 3 minute cook cycle.
08:01 DaemonFC; So I sit there and watch it until 3 minutes have passed and unplug it.
08:01 schestowitz[TR]; pressure cookers should not need batteries or energy
08:02 schestowitz[TR]; just hot water or heat source
08:02 DaemonFC; It's a lot harder to fuck up with an electric pressure cooker.
08:02 DaemonFC; They're very convenient.
08:03 DaemonFC; "Oh God, I fucked up dinner. Welp, in the car. Let's go to Pizza Hut and leave the $60 in groceries I just ruined."
08:03 DaemonFC; So like, I don't want that to happen and my electric pressure cooker has been good to me.
08:03 DaemonFC; It's never fucked up dinner to where we had to go get a pizza.

08:05 DaemonFC; But I decided to get an oil filled electric radiator at Walmart today.
08:05 DaemonFC; And it's working pretty well so far.

08:06 DaemonFC; Where are you supposed to put your dining room set? Where am I supposed to put a king-size bed? Where do I put the chest freezer?
08:06 DaemonFC; The oil radiators give you a lot more options because they're compact, they roll around so you can move them to the rooms you're in, and they're more efficient.
08:07 DaemonFC; I've had an oil radiator before.
08:11 DaemonFC; I gave my old one to my cousin. They complain about these huge electric and gas bills while they're heating an entire house and everyone is in one room.

08:23 schestowitz[TR]; if you do them "justice"
08:23 DaemonFC; Yeah, it really doesn't matter to me.
08:24 schestowitz[TR]; all they do is convert one energy form into another
08:24 DaemonFC; My choices are clear the walls and use electric baseboards, or use the oil filled radiator.

08:36 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I like how the rise in government borrowing spiked and then collapsed in the UK due to Liz Truss taking office and then resigning.
08:37 DaemonFC; But it's still running a lot hotter than the US because nobody trusts your politicians to sort things out.
08:37 DaemonFC; Ours either, but look at what the markets are saying about yours.
08:38 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], The US does you one better.
08:38 DaemonFC; If you get convicted of anything, and sent to jail....
08:39 DaemonFC; They send Social Security an alert that you're a convict and to stop your benefits.
08:39 DaemonFC; Then you have to go to the Social Security office and apply to have them started again when you get out of jail.
08:40 DaemonFC; So people on Social Security have an incentive to avoid an arrest, and if they are arrested, there's additional pressure to give up your right to trial to take a plea bargain that guarantees to jail time.
08:40 DaemonFC; Sometimes it takes months after you're out of jail for Social Security to start payments again.
08:41 DaemonFC; You get backdated pay, but fat bunch of good that does.
08:41 DaemonFC; You go to jail, you already lose your apartment and have your landlord go in and throw all of your stuff out.

21:43 DaemonFC; The fact that The Verge has to shitpost about excuses for wearing a Casio on your other wrist while you have an Apple Watch that cost $800-900 on the left is pretty funny stuff.
21:43 DaemonFC; It's basically saying that the Apple Watch must be so bad that it fails as a practical watch and the only reason you'd buy one is to flash it around.
21:43 DaemonFC; I'm told that since the Apple Watch is so "smart" (spyware), it's a damned power hog and it's another thing that has to be charged every night.
21:44 DaemonFC; MinceR, schestowitz[TR2] ^

21:51 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
21:51 DaemonFC; I mean, sure you can put a phone in the watch.
21:51 DaemonFC; Maxwell Smart had a phone in his shoe.
21:51 DaemonFC; Using a watch crown to manage phone features is pretty clunky and stupid, but they cost $800 so GOOD.
21:51 DaemonFC; I mean then there's the carcinogenic radiation.
21:51 DaemonFC; They literally shove it on Apple's legal disclaimer Web site that all of their products might be a cancer risk, so that they can point at it if they get sued.
21:51 DaemonFC; Like how it calls 911 with Roller Coaster Detection.
22:01 DaemonFC; Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
22:01 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC@mstdn.social
22:01 DaemonFC; The Verge is now a total shitpost about Microsoft.
22:01 DaemonFC; There was that awful nothingburger about Edge which has a few features they stole right out of Vivaldi (and they don't work as well), without mentioning the Edge spyware.
22:01 DaemonFC; Then it was on to tabbed Notepad.
22:01 DaemonFC; A feature so basic that every Linux OS had tabs in the text editor for over 20 years?
22:01 DaemonFC; I can't remember when gedit or kate got tabs because it was so basic and so long ago.
22:01 DaemonFC; Windows is primitive considering it's 18 times the size of Linux.
22:01 DaemonFC; Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
22:01 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
22:01 DaemonFC; Maybe if Microsoft wasn't about billions of dollars in political bribes, lawsuits, and marketing, they could have added tabs to Notepad in time for Windows XP so that it would at least be competitive with GNOME on the most rudimentary features.
22:01 DaemonFC; That's what makes the "accidental" Twitter leak so amusing. They're talking about stuff that every other OS added in a few lines of code in ~2000 because it would be nice to have.
22:01 DaemonFC; Meanwhile, Microsoft was off developing 14 brands of incompatible DRM.
