02:10 DaemonFC; Plaintiffs in the defect class action lawsuit claim supplemental restraint system (SRS) warning lights can come on in BMW vehicles if liquid spills from cups in vehicle cup holders. These inaccurate warning lights allegedly stem from a defect in the vehicles design.

07:41 schestowitz; tax credits?
07:41 schestowitz; why call it credits?
07:41 DaemonFC; Yeah, there's a tax credit for retirement savings if you are a low income worker.
07:41 schestowitz; it's like "Credit cards"
07:41 schestowitz; here, they mean DEBT
07:41 schestowitz; "credit"
07:41 schestowitz; spinning burden as a positive
07:41 DaemonFC; Well, there's a difference between a tax deduction and a credit.
07:42 DaemonFC; A deduction reduces your taxable income and a credit comes off your tax obligation.
07:43 DaemonFC; In the system of pre-tax retirement income, you take a top of the line deduction for the current tax year from your gross income, which means less taxable income, and that does reduce your taxes that year, but you set it in an account, and when you're old enough you can draw it down and pay the taxes then.
07:43 DaemonFC; But thanks to the fact that it takes your Adjusted Gross Income down, you can use the deduction to qualify for the Retirement SAVERS Credit even if you earned too much money.
07:44 DaemonFC; Gross income - deductions = AGI

07:49 DaemonFC; schestowitz, So if you sock away a lot of your pay when you're younger, you won't pay the state on any of that money in retirement.
07:49 schestowitz; let me ask this
07:49 schestowitz; is there a a parallel in the 1980s
07:49 schestowitz; wherein banks collapse like this?
07:49 DaemonFC; Sort of.
07:49 schestowitz; in the US?
07:49 DaemonFC; The Savings & Loan Crisis, mostly in 1987.
07:49 schestowitz; because you keep mentioning retirement
07:49 schestowitz; like it's a real thing
07:50 schestowitz; the policy is controlled by few
07:50 DaemonFC; Yeah, it's not directly comparable, but the largest bank collapse ever (at that time) was during 87.
07:50 schestowitz; and promoted in newspapers
07:50 schestowitz; the "Bill Gates Says" types
07:50 DaemonFC; Continental Illinois
07:50 DaemonFC; schestowitz, The government keeps burying it and then it comes back the next decade much worse.
07:51 DaemonFC; Continental Illinois is laughably small by bank failures TODAY.
07:51 DaemonFC; But at the time it was considered a fucking disaster.
07:51 DaemonFC; Bernie Sanders has suggested going back to banking at the Post Office.
07:51 DaemonFC; The Post Office used to have Savings Accounts.
07:52 DaemonFC; They also sold "Postal Bonds", which just meant you bought your Savings Bonds on paper certificates back then when you were at the Post Office.
07:52 DaemonFC; In 1968 they stopped doing Savings and in 2010 they stopped selling Postal Bonds.
07:52 DaemonFC; Now all they have left are money orders.
07:53 DaemonFC; Postal Banking was VERY popular among the working class.
07:53 DaemonFC; Everyone could bank there, nobody was denied an account. And there weren't any monthly fees.
07:53 DaemonFC; Today they'll eat you alive with fees or just say you can't have a bank account there if they want to.
07:53 schestowitz; i didn't know that
07:53 schestowitz; USPS?
07:53 DaemonFC; So they lock, mostly minorities, out of the US banking system like this.
07:53 schestowitz; Royal Mail tried to enter this business again
07:53 schestowitz; insuraaance etc.
07:53 schestowitz; to stay relevant
07:54 schestowitz; that was a decade ago
07:54 DaemonFC; Make them go to "payday cashing stores" and spend $11 trying to cash their paycheck.
07:54 schestowitz; i think they also tries to resell broadband or something
07:54 DaemonFC; While MATT GULAG's bank has a DEI sign hanging on the wall, no doubt.
07:54 DaemonFC; <schestowitz> USPS?
07:54 DaemonFC; Yes, USPS had banking for like 40 years.

07:55 schestowitz; i was a bit baffled when the post office here tries to sell us things that were not postal
07:55 DaemonFC; Yeah, if Postal Banking came back I'd do it.
07:56 DaemonFC; I mean, like, Savings Bonds are really sort of just a CD if you think about it.
07:56 DaemonFC; They're 30 year bonds but you can cash them with no penalty at 5 years.

08:21 schestowitz; as usual
08:22 schestowitz; some pipe with water and soda

08:22 schestowitz; to be cashflow positive
08:22 schestowitz; and put much salt in the food
08:22 schestowitz; so you must drink
08:22 DaemonFC; schestowitz, They still give you ice water if you want.

08:23 DaemonFC; schestowitz, The Chinese place has lemon wedges on the buffet.

08:31 DaemonFC; The Elite filters last longer and they remove a lot more stuff than the regular ones.

08:32 DaemonFC; <lord_bagira> yeah never drink tap
08:32 DaemonFC; Tap can be okay if you filter it.
08:32 DaemonFC; Depends on the quality of the water in the first place and how good the filter is.
08:32 DaemonFC; Those ZeroWater filters are a scam though.
08:33 DaemonFC; They mainly remove calcium and magnesium, which you want.
08:33 DaemonFC; They get the TDS level down and they train "consumers" to think that "all TDS" is bad.
08:34 DaemonFC; If you go by TDS, the Brita Elite doesn't "do very much", but if you look closer, it gets rid of almost everything that's likely to be in your water that's harmful or tastes bad.
08:34 DaemonFC; A lot of that could be from the crappy old plumbing in this building.

20:54 DaemonFC; They'll put him in prison for like 2 years and before he ever goes there, it'll all be in county.
20:55 DaemonFC; And that's if it gets that far, because they'll let him out on bail and he'll just kill someone before he goes on trial.
20:55 DaemonFC; This is how the courts ACTUALLY work in Illinois.
20:56 DaemonFC; MinceR, They let people out on bail for murder and it takes like 3 years to go on trial.
20:56 DaemonFC; And they catch them killing someone else or going on a string of bank robberies.
20:56 DaemonFC; That's how Kim Foxx, the alleged prosecutor of Cook County, rolls.
20:56 DaemonFC; She got voted in by criminals and she lets them all go.
20:57 DaemonFC; It's like, they're already there and you know they killed three people. What do you mean out on bail!?
20:57 DaemonFC; But $1,000 fine for large ammo magazine. LOL
20:57 DaemonFC; MinceR, When I can change my Gender to X I will.
20:58 DaemonFC; It will force GEICO to lower my rate $10 a month.
20:58 DaemonFC; They want to fuck with us, let's fuck them back.
20:58 DaemonFC; What's my gender? Whatever's cheaper on car insurance.
20:58 DaemonFC; You get punished for being a man. I could walk into the DMV, sign a form, present no medical information, and change my license to Female right now.
20:58 DaemonFC; Get cheaper insurance.
20:59 DaemonFC; That's like, that's so fucked up.
20:59 MinceR; X-Men!
20:59 DaemonFC; That's so fucked up, only a liberal could have thought of it.
20:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0
20:59 MinceR; not sure what's liberal about it
21:00 DaemonFC; MinceR, The fact that in Indiana they'd tell you to get the fuck out and come back with a court order.
21:00 DaemonFC; And the judge is a Republican so good luck with that.
21:01 DaemonFC; Here in Illinois if you want to scheme against the car insurance company by saying you're a woman and signing a form, you do it.
21:01 DaemonFC; And your rate goes down 17% and you still have a cock and nothing at all has actually changed except a goddamn piece of paper.
21:02 DaemonFC; https://www.autoblog.com/2018/07/27/man-changes-birth-certificate-gender-for-car-insurance/
21:03 TR Bot; changes his gender on birth certificate to save on car insurance - Autoblog
21:03 DaemonFC; Basically a horrible driver in Alberta (Canada) changed his legal gender to female.
21:03 DaemonFC; Making him a horrible "female driver" and they gave him a double digit discount.
21:03 DaemonFC; Because horrible female driver gets better rates than a man with no accidents.
21:04 DaemonFC; This is a classic example of how women get is so much better than men and gaslight us anyway.
21:04 DaemonFC; You're crazy! You're fucking crazy! I only make 87 cents for every MAN DOLLAR!!!! FUCK YOU PATRIARCH!!!!
21:05 DaemonFC; And then you go "Well, actually, it says on the wall everyone starts at $15."
21:05 DaemonFC; "I HAVE TO BUY TAMPONS AND THEY TAX THOSE LIFE IS SO UNFAIR!!!!!!11111"
21:05 DaemonFC; So they repeal the tax.
21:05 DaemonFC; "GENDER EQUALITY NOW!!!!!!!!!11111"
21:05 DaemonFC; And you know, nobody ever mentions that if they drive they're paying $700 a year less than a man with the same driving record.
21:06 DaemonFC; I wonder why I have to pay $1.60 in "man premiums" for every $1 a woman pays, even though the actual studies show that women get into more accidents and apparently there's also no genders now according to Matt GULAG SUEPER GENIUS.
21:08 DaemonFC; In fact, in fact, in fact.....In FUCKING fact, women make $1 for every $1 a man does when they do the same job.....Tampons are like a few dollars a box, and there's things men HAVE TO buy that women don't as well, so it's a wash.
21:08 DaemonFC; And women pay MUCH LESS for car insurance even though most accidents are caused by women, and there are no women.
21:09 DaemonFC; MinceR, So next year when Gender X is on the form you can just call me Genderation X I guess.
21:09 MinceR; :)
21:10 DaemonFC; It'll be the last time anyone accuses me of being a toxic male. I can just pull out my Gender X license and say "I'm bringing toxicity to the final frontier."
21:10 DaemonFC; THE VOID
21:11 DaemonFC; The nether regions. The dead space between genders.
21:11 DaemonFC; The place that only Europeans and Canadians have so far explored.
21:11 DaemonFC; There's just something different about Europeans. I mean, they're so weird.

22:27 DaemonFC; I had been concerned that MARISOL might have like given his SSN to a Bitcoin exchange or something, but if she has, nobody has told the IRS so I guess it's not a problem at the moment.
22:27 DaemonFC; You have to keep an eye on that woman.

22:41 DaemonFC; But the FCRA (a federal law) requires them to let you place a security freeze and fraud alerts on your report.
22:42 DaemonFC; A fraud alert forces creditors to verify your identity, like asking for your driver's license or state ID card, or calling you at the phone number on the fraud alert, before issuing credit.
