00:19 schestowitz[TR2]; let me put it like this

00:19 IsambardPrince; "There are lots of excuses"

00:19 schestowitz[TR2]; us in 90s:

00:19 schestowitz[TR2]; sometimes full capacity

00:19 schestowitz[TR2]; since 2010 it was like, wow!

00:19 schestowitz[TR2]; sometimes it's just two people

00:19 schestowitz[TR2]; you and the partner

00:19 schestowitz[TR2]; or 4

00:19 schestowitz[TR2]; or 5

00:19 schestowitz[TR2]; in a place with capacity for 300

00:19 schestowitz[TR2]; which feels almost creepy

00:20 IsambardPrince; Yeah, they stopped making things people wanted to see.

00:20 schestowitz[TR2]; i wonder how some still survive in that business

00:20 schestowitz[TR2]; they try to sell the auditoriums for business events

00:20 IsambardPrince; They started blowing the entire wad on a movie or two per year, which would fail, because they took great pains to deliberately offend half the public.

00:20 schestowitz[TR2]; where the screen is projector

00:21 schestowitz[TR2]; not count staff costs

00:22 schestowitz[TR2]; they probably don't show anything if zero seats are sold

00:22 schestowitz[TR2]; so they don't even know if a showing will happen

00:22 IsambardPrince; Yeah, Hollywood demands half the sale price of the ticket.

00:22 IsambardPrince; Wages go up.

00:22 MinceR; 01 011244 < IsambardPrince> Jesus

00:22 schestowitz[TR2]; till 1 or 2 people buy a ticket

00:22 MinceR; so, is that your new name?

00:22 schestowitz[TR2]; like cancelled flights

00:22 schestowitz[TR2]; they would be better off paying you to warch another movie

00:23 schestowitz[TR2]; to go back home

00:24 IsambardPrince; But it helps them not lose their ass on otherwise dormant theaters.

00:25 IsambardPrince; As Sony Pictures Entertainment CEO Tony Vinciquerra said on a call with investors this week, People got out of the habit of going to the theaters.

00:25 IsambardPrince; And once the habit is broken, every week that doesnt have a smash hit, makes it a little harder to jump-start attendance again.

05:37 IsambardPrince; She asked why. He said "Because the state took $5,000 of it for back child support so you should pay me!"

09:06 IsambardPrince; His movies are boring, and he plagiarizes them, and you see the ending a mile away.

09:07 IsambardPrince; It was obvious from watching the preview of The Sixth Sense that Bruce Willis was dead from about 10 minutes in.

09:08 IsambardPrince; The preview says the kid sees dead people, Bruce Willis gets shot by a home invader. Almost immediately nobody interacts with him except the kid.

09:08 IsambardPrince; Then he starts showing up everywhere, which is not something a psychologist tends to do, unless you have money, which the kid's mother obviously did not.

09:08 schestowitz[TR2]; is Willis still active?"

09:09 IsambardPrince; She was a single mother, driving around an old car and being chased down by Child Protective Services.

09:09 IsambardPrince; How the hell does she get a psychologist that follows her son to school events and comes to the house and stuff?

09:09 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2]: No, he has aphasia.

09:11 IsambardPrince; Then they go to the house of that girl that was poisoned to death by her mother, and nobody even notices Bruce Willis walk in, which is odd. It's obvious why the kid walks in unnoticed. Nobody really pays much attention to what kids do and there's a bunch of them there.

09:11 IsambardPrince; Everyone would just tend to assume it's someone else's kid.

10:00 IsambardPrince; Hardly anyone has the decency to just get married and stay married and not be a degenerate that fucks around on the side.

10:00 IsambardPrince; And the food is bad.

10:01 IsambardPrince; In a way, I'm lucky that marriage was illegal for most of my life.

10:01 IsambardPrince; There's no telling what, in a manic state, I would have walked down the aisle with and regretted terribly later.

10:02 IsambardPrince; But that doesn't make the intent of the system right.

10:02 IsambardPrince; Oppression.

10:02 IsambardPrince; Society is VERY homophobic and you have to wonder at some point, "Does it ever end?" and that answer of course is "Fuck no."

10:05 IsambardPrince; I have all my teeth.

10:05 schestowitz[TR2]; is it worth it?

10:05 schestowitz[TR2]; i have all teeth in tact

10:05 IsambardPrince; I know how to pick up a toothbrush and work it.

10:05 schestowitz[TR2]; never had even a filling

10:06 schestowitz[TR2]; today mom told me that my grandpa was the same

10:06 schestowitz[TR2]; even in his 90s

10:06 IsambardPrince; Yeah, I actually researched this before I went out and spent money on the system I have right now.

10:06 IsambardPrince; Do the power ones work better? And that answer is "Yes, but...."

10:06 IsambardPrince; The little cheap-o $20 ones don't.

10:07 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2]: I have a couple fillings.

10:07 IsambardPrince; Before I get anything filled I have students X-Ray my mouth and tell me if it shows up on their X-Ray.

10:07 IsambardPrince; I don't believe anything anyone tells me.

10:07 IsambardPrince; That's how you get crooks like the one my ex, Ellis, went into.

10:08 IsambardPrince; He went to this old German dentist's office with Medicaid and the guy drilled and filled 4 teeth. He only had one cavity.

10:08 IsambardPrince; He comes out with four fillings and I go what the fuck did you let him do that for? And he was like "MMhmmwhumhum." because his whole mouth was numbed for the three extra fillings he didn't need.

10:11 IsambardPrince; That's how mom got a root canal she didn't need.

10:12 IsambardPrince; Her parents took her to a crooked dentist and the guy fucked up a whole mouth full of healthy teeth.

10:14 IsambardPrince; And he was furious.

10:15 IsambardPrince; He kept getting all the explanation of benefits letters and he said "STOP USING MY INSURANCE!" and she said "I will when I'm not your wife anymore."

10:53 schestowitz[TR2]; sorry, was on mumble

10:53 schestowitz[TR2]; 2 hours mumble this morning

10:53 schestowitz[TR2]; Brian.

10:53 schestowitz[TR2]; i am always amused at how you stole his viagra pills

11 AM, June 1

11:03 IsambardPrince; Ah, yeah.

11:03 schestowitz[TR2]; i just told rianne that story

11:03 IsambardPrince; Then Glenn had the cops in my house.

11:03 schestowitz[TR2]; about gonad

11:03 schestowitz[TR2]; she does not know

11:03 schestowitz[TR2]; it was around 2009, no?

11:03 IsambardPrince; And they found the bottle of pills.

11:03 schestowitz[TR2]; when he was beating you up

11:03 IsambardPrince; They never did anything about it.

11:04 schestowitz[TR2]; they didn't get "anal" about it

11:05 IsambardPrince; 2007 I think.

11:05 schestowitz[TR2]; oh

11:05 schestowitz[TR2]; that's before we used irc

11:05 IsambardPrince; That's so long ago that I can tell that one now.

11:06 schestowitz[TR2]; i see

11:06 IsambardPrince; So I just shrugged it off and said something like "Oh I had to help my mother move out of his house while he was at work one day and I think that got tossed in by mistake somewhere along the way. Would you get those back to him please?"

11:06 schestowitz[TR2]; like your aunt stories

11:06 schestowitz[TR2]; and traffic violations

11:06 schestowitz[TR2]; or the licence thing

11:06 schestowitz[TR2]; where they pass the insurancer around

11:06 IsambardPrince; The driver's license!

11:06 IsambardPrince; She only sent one of them to driving school because she didn't want her insurance rates to skyrocket with two teenagers in the house.

11:07 schestowitz[TR2]; ok, it WAS licence

11:07 schestowitz[TR2]; anyway

11:07 schestowitz[TR2]; yes, that sucks

11:07 IsambardPrince; But they're identical twins so whoever was driving had the license and insurance cards.

11:07 schestowitz[TR2]; i weas just talking about it

11:07 schestowitz[TR2]; and why i stopped owning a car

11:07 schestowitz[TR2]; the car owns you

11:07 schestowitz[TR2]; in some metaphorical way

11:07 schestowitz[TR2]; you exist to serve the car

11:07 eidolon; Getting 'Dear Abby' feed items in the ol' ticker, from some newspaper.

11:07 schestowitz[TR2]; more than the car serves you

11:07 schestowitz[TR2]; you get served paperwork

11:07 IsambardPrince; My aunt's been dead for over 10 years. This all happened in the 90s. The state can't do anything to her about it now.

11:07 schestowitz[TR2]; and spend a lot of time "managing" the car ownership

11:08 eidolon; This is the 60-80 year old bracket, I figure. Questions would be disasterous if posed to Google.

11:08 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2]: What was she supposed to do?

11:09 IsambardPrince; She already had to come up with Keith's half of the money for pumping her full of 30 cc's of liquid dream killer then running off to get his dick removed.

11:09 eidolon; or 'Abby' is writing the inquiries and responses, too. :D

11:09 IsambardPrince; Raising two kids he abandoned on a single income.

13:41 schestowitz[TR2]; "The company extends the offer on a World-Wide Web page for the "Academic Cooperative," a Microsoft program for computer- science professors. The Web site is maintained through Idaho State University "

13:41 schestowitz[TR2]; " Microsoft officials say the speakers' bureau, as it is called, is a well-intentioned effort to help faculty members cover their conference costs. Ethics watchdogs call it an unabashed attempt to turn professors into advertisers.

13:41 schestowitz[TR2]; Microsoft is "trying to make them advertising agents of their wares," says Albert Borgman, a philosophy professor at the University of Montana at Missoula who has written about technology and its effect on society. "This is going beyond the pale."

13:41 schestowitz[TR2]; That interpretation ruffles Susanne Peterson, who directs the Academic Cooperative. "These people are already talking about Microsoft products," she says. "Sometimes they are not even talking about our tools -- they are just using our tools."

13:41 schestowitz[TR2]; "This is very innocent," she says. "Two hundred dollars is puny."

13:41 schestowitz[TR2]; But it's not so puny to professors who "don't get stock options," as one program participant put it.

13:41 schestowitz[TR2]; "We're so strapped, we don't look a gift horse in the mouth," says Jesse Heines, a computer-science professor at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell. Mr. Heines, who recently gave a presentation that mentioned Microsoft products, has applied for the $200 payment. He is one of fewer than a dozen professors who have joined the speakers' bureau. Most professors don't know about it.

13:41 schestowitz[TR2]; A few professors who have sought the company's money agreed to be interviewed. Some have already given their presentations; others have not. All of them said they thanked Microsoft for its support during their presentations -- or that they will do so -- without specifically mentioning the $200.

13:41 schestowitz[TR2]; That omission raises questions, says Bill Moninger, a government scientist who has taught courses on technology and ethics at the University of Colorado at Boulder. "Those who, while making their speeches, didn't say, 'I just got $200 for saying that,' are unethical," he declares. Audience members, he says, have the right to know when an apparently independent speaker is being paid to mention a particular company.

13:41 schestowitz[TR2]; But George Whitson, a computer-science professor at the University of Texas at Tyler who has applied for $200 from Microsoft for a presentation next month, defends the speakers' bureau as "more open and honest" than other perks that companies provide to professors use their technology.

13:41 schestowitz[TR2]; "Does anyone seriously think," he asks, "that a researcher would compromise his integrity for $200?""

13:42 schestowitz[TR2]; soi there

22:39 IsambardPrince; Peak insanity, the highest interest rates in 40 years.

22:40 IsambardPrince; We are now entering a phase where it would be impossible to sell except for maybe actual value, which would mean losing at least $1.3 million of what the dude paid plus the interest payments plus the repairs.

22:41 MinceR; no parking for you! one year.

22:41 IsambardPrince; Rents are depressed because they got so high going into a bad jobs market that people who could possibly move in with someone else even if it meant couch surfing with their mother or something did that.

22:41 IsambardPrince; And are now paying him nothing.

22:41 IsambardPrince; Meanwhile, many people who couldn't do that are fleeing into states where you can still live because they had an excess capacity.

22:42 IsambardPrince; Yes, I do believe we'll go into a horrific recession. Inflation may go down, but due to the fact that we have insane people and criminals setting monetary and fiscal policy, they won't let it turn negative, which is where it would naturally be.

22:43 IsambardPrince; Because they believe that causing inflation no matter the cost will stimulate economic activity, like it didn't in Japan for nearly three and a half decades.

22:43 IsambardPrince; Within 5 years, the US will be over 200% debt-to-gdp.

22:43 IsambardPrince; This will happen because debt will go up and gdp will continue to evaporate and spend some quarters negative.

22:44 IsambardPrince; And because baby boomers will keep retiring while the US tries to be in proxy wars with the major powers.

22:44 IsambardPrince; It focuses on Russia because it can't make life in the United States good but it can make life in Russia worse.

22:45 IsambardPrince; Meanwhile, Joe Biden's entire campaign is "It votes for us again, or it gets the fascist!"

22:46 IsambardPrince; > Does being a convicted felon limit Trump's ability to get a security clearance?

22:46 IsambardPrince; > Most presidential nominees start getting briefed on top security matters at some point (after they win but before sworn in?). I doubt anyone really wanted to give that to Trump this time after seeing his treatment of classified documents and knowing he'd likely use the information for political gain rather than the national good. Does this now mean he must be kept out of the loop until he is sworn in if he wins?

22:46 IsambardPrince; ---

22:46 IsambardPrince; Well, as long as Joe Biden is in office, he could just refuse to follow the Presidential Transition Act.

22:47 IsambardPrince; Trump refused to do so until late December in 2020.

22:47 IsambardPrince; But on January 20th at Noon, Trump would get the nuclear football and all the classified documents anyway.

22:47 IsambardPrince; So the answer is, no. He could obstruct Trump from getting them for a couple months by ignoring the law.

22:47 IsambardPrince; But he couldn't stop him.

22:48 IsambardPrince; The law says you can't easily get a security clearance with a felony conviction, but Trump wouldn't need one.

22:48 IsambardPrince; The President automatically has one. There's no process. He just gets a clearance.

22:49 IsambardPrince; No laws were ever written with the assumption that a convicted felon may enter office and get classified documents.
