01:17 DaemonFC; "It has received backlash and criticism for several nominations of Republicans, when their Democratic opponents scored higher on HRC's own index."
01:17 DaemonFC; They also endorsed anti-gay Democrats, twice.
01:17 DaemonFC; They really like Clinton.
01:18 DaemonFC; They've endorsed Republicans for the Senate too, which would make it more difficult to stop Republican judges who oppose same-sex marriage and anti-discrimination laws, from being confirmed.
01:18 DaemonFC; I stopped interacting with them at all when they started doing this.
01:20 DaemonFC; It was bad enough having to deal with Trump for four years even though much of his legislative agenda went down in flames.
01:20 DaemonFC; He was really successful in packing the courts, and they'll be sabotaging everything they can from there for decades now.
01:21 DaemonFC; Because some people voted for Jill Stein, who is a Russian mole.
01:21 DaemonFC; She did her part to get Trump elected by pretending to be a progressive candidate for protest voters.
01:22 DaemonFC; We're to believe she was having dinner with Putin because Putin is very interested in what a minor party candidate who will get less than three quarters of one percent of the vote thinks about US-Russia relations.
01:22 DaemonFC; Fucking Stallman fell for this one too.
01:23 DaemonFC; Russia and the Republican Party have been the main benefactors of the Green Party.
01:23 DaemonFC; The Russian troll farms on Social Control Media promote the Green Party, and Republican lawyers sue to gain them ballot access.
01:24 DaemonFC; Of the minor parties in the US, the only one that has done double digit percentages of the vote in high profile races (such as state governors) is the Libertarian Party.
01:25 schestowitz__[TR]; Twitter has just suspended my account for 7 days for criticising
01:25 schestowitz__[TR]; Microsoft and the OSI. Of course they falsely pretend it's about COVID
01:25 schestowitz__[TR]; and use that to flag criticism of theirs.

01:25 schestowitz__[TR]; many months ago... and now that I criticise them for something totally
01:25 schestowitz__[TR]; unrelated they latch onto COVID to silence me for one week or more.
01:25 DaemonFC; They've done particularly well in Indiana a couple of times. Nearly 17% of the vote in the 2006 US Senate election and almost 12% in last year's race for Governor.

01:26 schestowitz__[TR]; is that so?
01:26 schestowitz__[TR]; he does not put it like this
01:26 DaemonFC; He knows that all it takes to throw the election to someone like Trump is a few thousand Hippy Dippy people in Wisconsin or Florida.
01:26 schestowitz__[TR]; to me also, he spoke about the two-party trap
01:26 DaemonFC; They vote Green and get Orange.
01:26 schestowitz__[TR]; [01:26] <MinceR> maybe people should stop relying on shitter
01:26 MinceR; depends on what those people would have voted for, if not a "third party"
01:27 schestowitz__[TR]; I do not rely on it
01:27 schestowitz__[TR]; but it does have a lot of copies of things
01:27 XRevan86; schestowiz: RMS thinks that people can get the third option if they really want to.
01:27 MinceR; schestowitz__[TR]: have you tweeted about being censored after it expired?
01:27 DaemonFC; schestowitz__[TR], That was what I started telling anyone who asked about the Green Party or Jill Stein.
01:28 DaemonFC; I said it on the news in Indiana. I said, "Russia would like you to vote for Jill Stein because it could throw the election to Trump. Vote Green, get Orange.".
01:29 DaemonFC; The US is a first-past-the-post system except in federal elections in Maine.
01:29 DaemonFC; Main passed instant runoff voting, for all elections, but their state Supreme Court said it could only be applied to federal elections.
01:29 DaemonFC; The Republicans were pissed even at that.
01:29 DaemonFC; It caused a House seat to flip that they could easily hold otherwise.
01:29 DaemonFC; *Maine
01:30 XRevan86; I still remember how Vox tried to frame runoff elections as a racist thing based on one historical anecdote.
01:30 DaemonFC; Maine has a long history of Independent candidates ending up on the ballot, and half the time they get elected and half the time they're a spoiler and you get some total crazy fuck like Paul LePage.
01:31 DaemonFC; What kept happening in ME-01 was that there was a Republican and a Democrat, and you kept getting some "leftist" spoiler candidate propped up by the Republicans, and it spoiled the election and they bagged a "bonus" seat in the House.
01:31 DaemonFC; So the Democrats got together and pushed a ballot question about Instant Runoff Voting, which passed.
01:32 DaemonFC; Now, people can say their first choice is the Green Party or some Independent candidate, but their second choice is the Democrat.
01:32 DaemonFC; And under that system, it's much harder for the Republicans to win because they can't use lawyers, dark money, and Russian troll farms to prop up Greens or "Independents" who can't win.
01:33 *u-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@t25x9hgy9xhrc.irc) has joined #techrights
01:33 DaemonFC; It's going to be very hard to get Instant Runoff Voting anywhere else.
01:34 DaemonFC; California would probably be the lest difficult, but still very har.

01:36 DaemonFC; Maine is a weird state.
01:36 DaemonFC; It splits electoral votes, and only one other (Nebraska) does that.
01:37 DaemonFC; Two for the winner of the popular vote in the state, and one for the winner of the popular vote in each of its House districts.
01:37 DaemonFC; So Trump won ME-02 last year even though they voted to keep a Democrat in the House.
01:37 *liberty_box has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
01:39 DaemonFC; And Biden won NE-02, but the district voted to keep their Republican Congressman.
01:40 XRevan86; My district elected a United Russian with like 35% of votes, even without falsifications that works great.
01:40 DaemonFC; Obama won NE-02 in 2008, so the Republicans gerrymandered it to have more Republicans in it, and then Biden won it anyway in 2020, by a wider margin than Obama did in 2008, even with the gerrymander.
01:40 XRevan86; The party of Putin has majority support. Relative majority.
01:40 schestowitz__[TR]; MinceR: I mention it all the time
01:40 DaemonFC; So the Republicans gerrymandered it more, but then their gerrymander has been held up by a state Senate filibuster.

01:42 MinceR; there are lots of problems with democracy
01:42 MinceR; but it still doesn't suck as hard as autocracyt
01:42 DaemonFC; The new mayor, that I voted for, cut the deficit by 2/3rds and managed to repair all of the really awful roads in the first year.

01:44 DaemonFC; Anecdotally, that's been about my experience.
01:44 DaemonFC; After 9/11 the last few people who figured they had to hold back or else they'd lose their re-election realized that people are dumb enough to accept anything that gets done to them.
01:44 XRevan86; MinceR: Right, if the US is borderline democracy, Russia is borderline dictatorship.
01:45 MinceR; makes me wonder what dictatorship isn't borderline :>
01:45 DaemonFC; The US has some democracy, but very nearly all of it that still exists is at a local or county or state level.
01:45 DaemonFC; The government that's closer to you seems to care more what your opinion is.
01:45 XRevan86; MinceR: Turkmenistan, DPRK
01:46 DaemonFC; But the federal government tries to preempt everything to stifle states that want to govern the way the public approves of.
01:46 DaemonFC; Because the oligarchy has figured out that it can use the federal bureaucracy to throw sand in the gears for people who try to get things done at the state level.
01:47 DaemonFC; They call Illinois one of the most corrupt states in the country, and maybe it is, I don't know.
01:47 DaemonFC; Debatable.
01:47 DaemonFC; But whatever this is, it's amateur hour compared to D.C.
01:49 DaemonFC; Mostly what Congress seems to do is pass "Christmas tree bills" now, where it's just a lot of money, and they accumulate a lot of really bad policy and a lot of wasteful spending in someone's backyard to get votes, and then by the time it passes it would have been better if they had done nothing at all.
01:49 DaemonFC; They now admit that $100 BILLION was STOLEN. Not wasted, not spent on something stupid....STOLEN out of the Paycheck Protection Program.
01:50 DaemonFC; Because they doled out the money so fast on this fake COVID "emergency" that a lot of people stole millions and then fled to Russia or something.
01:50 DaemonFC; And that's money we'll never see again.
01:51 DaemonFC; COVID is not an emergency. The emergency is over.
01:51 DaemonFC; They put it in the news every day because real emergencies don't require a constant reminder 20 times a day that they're out there.
01:51 DaemonFC; When you look at the real facts, it's just a lot less shocking.
01:51 DaemonFC; 9-10% of ICU beds in the state are COVID at this point.
01:52 DaemonFC; It's been tamed to the point that it's pesky, but it's not an emergency anymore.
01:52 XRevan86; DaemonFC: No amount of money will make one flee to Russia.
01:52 XRevan86; The number of people who actually did it is not high.
01:53 DaemonFC; Well, once you have the US federal government on your tail you need to go somewhere that won't extradite either because they don't give a fuck or they want to stick the US government in the eye.
01:53 DaemonFC; That's why Snowden is still there.
01:54 DaemonFC; The Russians had him leak a bunch of embarrassing shit and then escape there.
01:54 DaemonFC; And now he's put down roots, and I think married someone.
01:54 XRevan86; Snowden didn't do it for the money
01:54 DaemonFC; He's got a life there.
01:54 XRevan86; He did an interview recently, he's not happy here, surprisingly.
01:55 DaemonFC; I started joking about our former House Speaker in Illinois.
01:55 DaemonFC; He'd been in the state House for 50 years, the House Speaker for over 40. Accumulated more power than the Governor.
01:55 DaemonFC; I called him the Vladimir Putin of Illinois. (Mike Madigan)
01:56 XRevan86; The observation is that people with the money don't like to live here.
01:56 DaemonFC; That's weird.
01:56 DaemonFC; Well, but, yeah, I believe you.

01:59 DaemonFC; <activelow> DaemonFC: argument was many other regular medical treatments had to be postponed because of covid
01:59 DaemonFC; Yes, the COVID lockdowns led to the deaths of many, many younger people.
01:59 DaemonFC; Suicide, delayed medical treatment, joblessness leading to homelessness, etc.
01:59 DaemonFC; Ostensibly to save some 90 year olds in the nursing homes who have a year or two left.
01:59 XRevan86; DaemonFC: Fleeing to Russia is not sound also because it's not a reliable place. One day ye flee with the money to make a new life, the next a police officer extorts you with a champagne bottle.
02:00 DaemonFC; But really to give the government an excuse to level our economy and dole out the rest of the wealth to the 100 richest Americans.
02:00 DaemonFC; <XRevan86> DaemonFC: Fleeing to Russia is not sound also because it's not a reliable place. One day ye flee with the money to make a new life, the next a police officer extorts you with a champagne bottle.
02:00 DaemonFC; Oh yes, police encounters.
02:00 DaemonFC; "Hey, about that money......"
02:00 DaemonFC; We have those too
02:01 activelow; the lockdown didn't intend to save anyone, it supposedly prevented hospitalizations, which it didn't either; it was purely politically motivated propaganda, doubt anyone had benefit from either, neither 90year old nor younger generation
02:02 DaemonFC; The 90 year olds at least had nothing left to lose.
02:02 DaemonFC; They had a nice life, probably.
02:02 DaemonFC; Nicer than most in my generation ever will.
02:02 DaemonFC; High paying jobs, a house they actually paid off and got to enjoy, healthcare.
02:03 activelow; dying lonely wasn't anything to gain
02:03 DaemonFC; I will regardless of when I go.
02:03 *frankenstein has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
02:04 activelow; this is my conclusion: i do not doubt a public health crisis existed, never did. however, if, it began long before the propaganda scam was fueled
02:05 activelow; EU and UN announced "climate emergency", and among other political motives, the orchestrated propaganda scam was tailored to slow down "CO2 emissions"
02:06 activelow; too, the "lockdowns" among other action served as a precaution against another excessive wave of uncontrolled mass immigration into europe
02:06 activelow; reintroducing border patrol, and distracting from related issues
02:06 DaemonFC; Yeah, they increased the price of everything quite a bit, so I don't pay for anything I don't have to anymore.
02:06 XRevan86; DaemonFC: This reminds me that recently Jeff Monson got scammed in shared-equity construction.
02:07 DaemonFC; It's all rent, utilities, food, cat supplies... I have my cats. It's not their fault that all of this happened. They're my family.
02:07 DaemonFC; <activelow> reintroducing border patrol, and distracting from related issues
02:07 XRevan86; It's a very common form of fraud in Russia.
02:08 DaemonFC; Yeah, the US government cut the number of post offices doing passports by half (all in the rich neighborhoods now, you know) and increased the passport fee by 20%.
02:08 *liberty_box (~liberty@suig26pxj59pi.irc) has joined #techrights
02:08 DaemonFC; Now they shut down the DMV again so you can't get anything done unless you go online and already have your license and plates.
02:08 activelow; reminder, i'm not permitted to travel by train anymore, in my own homeland, because i haven't received a total of four miracle injections yet
02:09 DaemonFC; Oh, I can travel by train.
02:09 XRevan86; In Russia the victims are called (tricked shareholders literally).
02:09 DaemonFC; They do vaccine passports in Chicago in a few days.
02:09 DaemonFC; Economic Suicide Note.
02:09 XRevan86; And Jeff Monson is one of them.
02:09 DaemonFC; I'm so glad I'm not in Chicago.
02:10 DaemonFC; There's like 5 neighborhoods out of over 70 where the crime isn't entirely out of control.
02:10 DaemonFC; Give it another year and it won't matter how much you pay to live there.
02:10 DaemonFC; There won't be enough cops to patrol anything.
02:10 DaemonFC; They already lost a quarter of their entire police force to resignations and early retirement in the last 18 months.
02:11 DaemonFC; And Mayor Beetlejuice isn't replacing any of them.
02:11 DaemonFC; Some continue to quit because Chicago politicians are making things intolerable and they can make almost as much money in the suburbs instead.
02:11 DaemonFC; White flight is happening.
02:12 DaemonFC; It's the most dangerous time to be in the city since 1988.
02:12 DaemonFC; Between the crime, the cost of living, and the vaccine passports, there's nothing to do in Chicago anymore.
02:13 DaemonFC; Even the Illinois Senate Majority Leader got carjacked the other day and lost her Mercedes.

02:17 DaemonFC; That's how you know it was some black men in a shootout. They fired off 60 rounds and didn't hit anything and we're just lucky one of the strays didn't hit a 12 year old.
02:19 DaemonFC; I'm surprised they were even allowed to do another Matrix movie.
02:19 DaemonFC; Minorities are getting really touchy about anything that resembles the "white savior" trope.
02:22 DaemonFC; The Hollyweirdos have almost managed to ruin the film industry.
02:22 DaemonFC; I give it another year, maybe two.
02:22 DaemonFC; There won't be anything left in an entire year worth going to see at the movies.
02:22 DaemonFC; COVID just acted as an accelerator for what was happening anyway.

05:02 TR Bot; Klaus Schwab - Wikipedia
05:02 kingoffrance; Schwab as publisher of the World Economic Forum's 2010 "Global Redesign" report postulates that a globalized world is best managed by a self-selected coalition of multinational corporations, governments (including through the UN system) and select civil society organizations (CSOs).[21] He argues that governments no longer are "the overwhelmingly dominant actors on the world stage
05:02 kingoffrance; According to the Transnational Institute (TNI), the Forum is hence planning to replace a recognised democratic model with a model where a self-selected group of "stakeholders" make decisions on behalf of the people
05:02 kingoffrance; so you see, it is "democracy" -- self selected :)
05:03 kingoffrance; unelected "democracy" LOL
05:03 kingoffrance; that transcends those petty governments and elected officials
05:03 kingoffrance; "democratic model" of unelected self-selection lol
05:05 kingoffrance; my bad, it will replace the "democratic model"
05:10 kingoffrance; you have to read who is making a charge: its "democratic" on the theory "stakeholders" is more than just shareholders.
05:11 kingoffrance; its "undemocratic" because they are outside gov, "partnerships" unelected etc.

05:38 DaemonFC; Lately I've been running into a lot of corrupt torrents.
05:39 DaemonFC; They didn't start out fake, but a lot of anti-p2p companies seem to be joining them and feeding corrupt chunks to clients.
05:39 DaemonFC; Forcing them to restart the chunk.
05:39 DaemonFC; It seems their primary goal is to degrade the efficiency of the swarm, because sooner or later the download usually finished, but not before it has wasted half the size of the filed.
05:39 DaemonFC; *files
05:43 DaemonFC; Someone suggested that they got around it by limiting the number of peers their client will download from, which might work because it lowers the odds that you get connected to a bad seed.
05:43 DaemonFC; However, it could still happen.
05:46 kingoffrance; hmm, would smaller chunk size mitigate that? would seem to be faster turnaround to detect a peer sending garbage. apologies if i am misusing terms. what would be the ramifications of that? more overhead (more to download, and process) ?
05:47 kingoffrance; or will that kill performance?
05:56 kingoffrance; i imagine it would require seeders to do that, not something a client could do
06:03 DaemonFC; Smaller chunk size would certainly help.
06:03 DaemonFC; These bad torrents usualyl have 16 MB chunks or more.
06:04 DaemonFC; 4 MB chunks would probably be a safer limit.

11:42 DaemonFC; Every state is on Chicago's "quarantine list" now, which is officially a total joke.
11:43 DaemonFC; Illinois would be too if Chicago wasn't in the state.
11:43 DaemonFC; And Chicago would be on the quarantine list if it wasn't in Chicago.
11:43 DaemonFC; Just to illustrate how effective this has been.

11:44 DaemonFC; DEA announces that if your children use emoji, it's probably drugs.

11:47 DaemonFC; They're debating whether to add a star to the Chicago flag for COVID. Since we're adding stars for major disasters now, they should save themselves a separate meeting and add a sixth for having to endure Lori Lightfoot.

11:53 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR2, The way you radicalize people is by targeting the nitwits and the ones who have nothing.
11:53 DaemonFC; Then you have plenty of muscle.
11:53 DaemonFC; That muscle is then your political base.
11:54 DaemonFC; The Libertarian Party can't get off the ground because of this.
11:55 DaemonFC; It doesn't appeal to hatred and violence (Republicans) or throw freebies at people who only take up space and multiply like a virus and commit crimes (Democrats).

11:55 DaemonFC; So people owe it nothing and don't typically vote for it.
11:57 DaemonFC; Agent Smith from The Matrix explained humanity pretty well. "I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed
11:57 DaemonFC; and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus."
11:58 DaemonFC; He was disgusted with humans, hated his job imprisoning them, wished they could all be wiped out, and wanted his own program to end so badly that he was willing to destroy the Matrix, humans, and machines to do it.
11:58 DaemonFC; The only thing stopping him was some programming that Neo accidentally erased at the end of the first movie.
11:59 DaemonFC; MinceR, That makes Agent Smith essentially a Mr. Meeseeks from Rick & Morty.
11:59 DaemonFC; Rick warned Jerry and Beth to keep their requests simple because existence to a Mr. Meeseeks is pain and they try to fulfill your request as quickly as possible so that they can die.
12:00 DaemonFC; But if they can't fulfill it, they eventually go insane from existing for a couple of days and decide that if they kill you, they might be allowed to disappear.
12:03 DaemonFC; https://rickandmorty.fandom.com/wiki/Mr._Meeseeks
12:03 TR Bot; Mr. Meeseeks | Rick and Morty Wiki | Fandom
12:04 DaemonFC; There's a lot of computer humor here.
12:04 DaemonFC; "If a Meeseeks is not given a purpose at the beginning of its existence it seems to default to taking the purpose of the Meeseeks before it. This is seen when a Meeseeks created for Jerry created another Meeseeks then ordered it to kill another Meeseeks it was in argument with which the resultant Meeseeks attempted to avail. The Meeseeks then wildly began pressing the box without giving orders and all the resulting Meeseeks began trying in vain
12:04 DaemonFC; to kill the rest of the Meeseeks."
12:04 DaemonFC; A fork bomb.
12:05 DaemonFC; Also, meta humor.
12:06 DaemonFC; The Meeseeks hates its own existence and finds it painful because it's ordered to carry out simple menial tasks.
12:06 DaemonFC; Much like people with bad jobs don't find them fulfilling, and the pay sucks. Thus causing life to be painful.
12:09 DaemonFC; https://rickandmorty.fandom.com/wiki/Wasp_Rick
12:09 TR Bot; Wasp Rick | Rick and Morty Wiki | Fandom
12:10 DaemonFC; I loved this episode. Rick keeps getting killed and rerouted to a clone body in fascist universes until finally he ends up in one with wasp people. Fearing being killed again he goes, "Uh, hail wasp Hitler?" and shields his face.

19:12 DaemonFC; When I was 5, we had the firefighters come in to our preschool to show us what touching downed power lines would do to a person. They had a scale model that they fried hotdogs on and said if you touch it, it'll burn you up and you'll die. Then we had hotdogs. Of course, we didn't have Apple, Google, or Amazon back then, and people were smarter, and things were built to last a lot longer than two years when you made a major purchase.
