02:21 DaemonFC; The courts have effectively ruled that porn is speech.
02:21 DaemonFC; If it's obscenity, then copyrights don't apply to it and nobody can be sued for sharing it.
02:21 DaemonFC; And courts have repeatedly declared that copyrights do apply to porn.
02:22 DaemonFC; On the other hand, porn is a gigantic drain to the American economy.
02:22 DaemonFC; Mindgeek is not an American company and they've managed to destroy most of the other megaporn companies.
02:23 DaemonFC; So it represents a gigantic outflow of cash into.....Canada.
02:23 DaemonFC; This raises an interesting legal problem regarding NAFTA/USMCA.
02:24 DaemonFC; Under the original NAFTA, Canada would be well within their rights to sue the United States government in an arbitration scheme stacked with corporate lawyers for the lost revenue to their pornography companies and their subsidiaries.
02:24 DaemonFC; But under the USMCA, they can't.
02:25 DaemonFC; The USMCA only allows investor state disputes if they were already in process under NAFTA.
02:26 DaemonFC; So if the US Department of State declared that banks would be sanctioned if they allowed payment to PornHub, Canada couldn't really do much and would just lose the revenue.
02:26 DaemonFC; Interestingly, the main sticking point between the US and Canada under Legacy NAFTA investor state disputes is the issue of "soft wood". ;)
02:26 DaemonFC; MinceR, ^
02:29 DaemonFC; All joking aside, there's an interesting alliance between the far left and the far right, ostensibly anyway (although they probably slink off and masturbate too, I'm guessing...) that says that porn is smut and a sin on the right and on the left it victimizes #allwomen even though nobody actually stuck a microphone in front of all women to get the opinion of all women, or even just a statistical random sampling controlling for an error margin,
02:29 DaemonFC; of say......10,000 women or so.
02:30 DaemonFC; And what about men? They get paid less!
02:30 DaemonFC; Except the one that owns the company....
02:32 DaemonFC; It turns out that men are willing to accept lower pay because there's a lot more demand for them to get on scene in the first place, although I don't know why. I've heard it's awkward and goes on for hours, and some of them have to take Viagra to get through it, and it only pays a couple of hundred dollars even though you have to be there all day.
02:32 DaemonFC; Sounds like it's more exploitative to men.

02:33 DaemonFC; "People who ejaculate?"

04:30 DaemonFC; Optometrists are at high risk of talking themselves out of a job. In Canada, it's not uncommon for people to skip the optometrist completely and get an eyeglass prescription for about $20 by going to someone who has a device that just goes "1 or 2, 1 or 2,..." until you have your eyeglass prescription. Optometrists don't want anyone to know that there's absolutely no black magic involved in figuring out what your eyeglass prescription is. They
04:30 DaemonFC; sell computer software and a USB device from China that can figure it out.
04:31 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR2, There's a bumper sticker I like.
04:31 DaemonFC; "Keep honking, I'm reloading."
04:33 DaemonFC; If the optometrists don't stop fighting us for our eyeglass prescriptions, pretty soon nobody will even go to them for those.
04:34 DaemonFC; We'll just have people who have a simple storefront and a machine from China.
04:34 DaemonFC; Sometimes you just have to knock over all the anthills.
04:34 DaemonFC; These people have gotten too fucking greedy.
04:35 DaemonFC; 75% of us need eyeglasses and cannot afford "luxury" brands. What are those, even? Someone's name on a pair of plastic.
04:35 DaemonFC; It's hilarious too, because the cheap online stores have cloned pretty much all the popular designs.
04:36 DaemonFC; They don't copy them exactly, but absolutely nobody is going to notice or care that you didn't get brand name frames.

04:37 DaemonFC; So why would eyeglasses be off limits?
04:38 DaemonFC; "The Biden administration announced that Americans with health insurance can get their at-home COVID-19 tests reimbursed."
04:38 DaemonFC; I don't see why the insurance companies would fight him on this. I don't know why they weren't just doing this to begin with.
04:38 DaemonFC; It costs them over $150 to send one COVID test out to a lab.
04:38 DaemonFC; A COVID quick test retails for about $20.
04:39 DaemonFC; Of course, I intend to stay clear of that one that requires a smartphone.
04:39 DaemonFC; I told the pharmacist "Thanks, but no thanks.".
04:40 DaemonFC; That way instead of a line turning red for COVID and blue for not COVID or something, it sends the data off to the company, and then back down to the government.
04:40 DaemonFC; They don't want people testing privately

05:05 DaemonFC; I can figure out if my A1C number is too high and if I might need to go to the doctor from there.
05:06 DaemonFC; They like to monopolize routine stuff that's not rocket science so they can stick you with a bill for a thousand dollars just to tell you you're fine.
05:06 DaemonFC; And then one day, if you're not fine, well, you get healthcare if you can afford to go that route.

12:20 DaemonFC; 12,000 dead. Oh wow.

12:21 DaemonFC; Seasonal flu kills 40,000-60,000 according to CDC estimates.
12:21 DaemonFC; So a flu that kills 12,000 is a pandemic and an emergency.
12:21 DaemonFC; This is why nobody takes the government seriously.
12:22 DaemonFC; George Ouzounian (sp?) AKA Maddox was making fun of COVID.
12:22 DaemonFC; Every time he mentions it, he says Swine Flu and puts a strikethrough in that and then says COVID.
12:24 DaemonFC; Stallman also promotes anti-white racism.
12:24 DaemonFC; He points out that Republicans engage in racist gerrymandering to minimize the voting power of blacks.
12:24 DaemonFC; Illinois gerrymandered to minimize the voting power of white people.
12:25 DaemonFC; They created House districts for the next ten years that make sure that white people can only control the outcome of 3 out of 17 House districts in the state despite being over 70% of the population.
12:25 DaemonFC; Stallman forgot to mention this.
12:25 DaemonFC; Maybe I can remind him.
12:26 DaemonFC; The net result of gerrymandering is _probably_ that overall, the party composition of the House is close to how the national vote breaks down, but....
12:26 DaemonFC; In each district, it means that 90% of the districts can be called as soon as the party primary is over, and it affects the quality of candidate you can have.
12:27 DaemonFC; They don't need to worry about representing their entire district, just beting the other members of their own party.
12:27 DaemonFC; Indiana apparently could have done more gerrymandering if it wanted to.
12:28 DaemonFC; The Republicans decided to make sure that none of their current representatives could possibly lose their elections than try to pick off the last two Democrats for sure.
12:28 DaemonFC; So Illinois is even more gerrymandered than Indiana is, because the Democrats had control of the process in fewer states, and depended on it for maximum chance of a House majority.
12:29 DaemonFC; The minority party in the House doesn't do very much, so you may as well go for broke if you're in a weaker position during redistricting.
12:30 DaemonFC; It would have been possible to creat a map for Indiana that was fair and gave the Republicans an 85% chance of holding all 11 House districts.
12:31 DaemonFC; They chose to leave two Democrats in Congress for sure, around NWI and Indianapolis.
12:31 DaemonFC; So Stallman is very wrong.
12:31 DaemonFC; The Democrats have drawn up the least democratic and the most racist maps in the country.

12:36 DaemonFC; If you want to change the government's policy on welfare, then quit having children. Everyone who can't afford children should stop having them until the government freaks out and realizes there's no population growth and it's not coming back until they do something about the poverty.

22:39 DaemonFC; Weaker economy in the UK?

22:40 DaemonFC; It's cheaper to import toothbrush heads than to pay local prices.
22:40 schestowitz-TR2; amazon is not 'the' market
22:41 DaemonFC; Even though it says Amazon Global Store UK, the toothbrush heads are actually coming in from Australia.

22:47 DaemonFC; Eh, the Braun thing is probably patents or something.

22:47 DaemonFC; Like those Brita filters and pitchers that change all the time.

22:47 schestowitz-TR2; oir "knockoffs"
22:47 schestowitz-TR2; or "counterfeits"
22:48 DaemonFC; They patented a "LongLast" filter that's blue, and the ironic part is that it clogs up after 2 months anyway.
22:48 schestowitz-TR2; the printers are like that too
22:48 DaemonFC; So not only doesn't it last longer, but it costs 3x as much.
22:48 schestowitz-TR2; scotus took on the issue years ago
22:48 DaemonFC; And even if it did last 6 months, imagine what would be growing in there.

22:50 schestowitz-TR2; his dad prepared him "live dog"

22:50 DaemonFC; It's just harder to say it that way.
22:51 schestowitz-TR2; ok
22:51 schestowitz-TR2; the water just brings out the odor
22:51 DaemonFC; Yeah, and it's hard to get rid of it, really.
22:51 DaemonFC; I used to put the dog in the shower every week or so and use Pantene shampoo and conditioner on her.
22:52 DaemonFC; And then I'd dry her off with a towel and a blow dryer.

23:49 DaemonFC; schestowitz__[TR], Remember when there were no federal programs for HIV/AIDS, and one drug that could maybe buy you another 5-6 years, but it cost $10,000 per month in the 1980s, and the government didn't care?
23:50 DaemonFC; Peter Staley is the Greta Thunberg of the HIV/AIDS crisis.
23:50 DaemonFC; He led a bunch of gay men dying of AIDS to chain themselves to the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange to protest the prices of AZT.
23:50 DaemonFC; The manufacturer got egg all over their face in the press, which picked it up, and lowered the price from $10,000 to $6,000, which was still impossible for most people to afford.
23:51 DaemonFC; Then they basically hired him on to promote their drugs.

23:51 DaemonFC; Now he runs poz dot com and pitches pharma products.
23:51 DaemonFC; He's completely dropped his objection to patents and medicine costing $4,000 a month for 31 pills.
23:52 DaemonFC; When I called him a fucking asshole for doing this, he doxxed me and rang my phone off the hook when I lived in Indiana.
23:52 DaemonFC; I had to change my landline phone number to get him to stop calling and pay the phone company more money to make it an unlisted number.
23:53 DaemonFC; What he was doing was a crime, of course, but who was going to punish him for doing it?
23:53 DaemonFC; Making someone's phone ring to harass or annoy them is a misdemeanor count of Disorderly Conduct.
23:54 DaemonFC; A Class B Misdemeanor in Indiana, and Indiana law applied because he was doing it to me while I lived there.
23:54 DaemonFC; Technically, if the police wanted to, they could have issued an arrest warrant for Staley and charged him with a Class B Misdemeanor.
23:54 DaemonFC; I talked to them but they refused to pursue it.
23:55 DaemonFC; That carries a maximum of 180 days in jail and a fine of up to $2,500 and court costs.
23:56 DaemonFC; The police don't care if you're a crime victim if you're gay, unless they can get another gay man in serious trouble.
23:57 DaemonFC; And then they usually try to find something to charge you with for reporting the other person.

23:58 DaemonFC; So it's, like, hardly worth going to them, and one more reason to start carrying a gun if you're being stalked or something.
