04:24 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2], They came back and changed the agreement unilaterally after she had already worked there 15 years or something.

04:24 schestowitz[TR2]; next time god will be all sunny for pedoparty's fireworks show

04:24 IsambardPrince; They deceived her about how valuable the pension was.

05:15 MinceR; still desperately trying to make the unprofitable profitable

05:16 MinceR; i wonder when will the "content creators" finally see the writing on the wall

05:29 IsambardPrince; I've been having anxiety attacks and depressive episodes lately.

05:30 IsambardPrince; They get very bad.

05:30 IsambardPrince; There's really not much that pulls me out of them anymore.

05:31 IsambardPrince; It's been getting worse for over 30 years.

05:32 IsambardPrince; I suppose it's the mental version of my mom being unable to eat or even make it down the stairs that month, but being more afraid of "something being done" about her than actually dying.

05:32 IsambardPrince; It's been about like this for a long time, you know.

05:33 IsambardPrince; They've stolen all my belongings.

05:34 IsambardPrince; They put me through all of this bullshit.

05:35 IsambardPrince; The system has ways of hinting...."We don't like you. We're going to make everything very bad for you." "We would never kill you, we're not even allowed to, but you'll take the hint eventually." "We'll wear you down."

05:35 IsambardPrince; And you know, being alive at this point may serve no other purpose except that they haven't driven me to that. They haven't totally broken me.

05:38 IsambardPrince; What the system does is this. It tells you that if you're feeling bad, talk to someone. And then when you do, you find them stuffing you somewhere and forcing you to take psychiatric drugs that don't work, and make everything worse.

05:38 IsambardPrince; Then some time later they send a bill, usually $20,000 or so.

05:38 IsambardPrince; Nothing major.

05:38 IsambardPrince; :P

05:39 IsambardPrince; A medical system that, in all other aspects, prioritizes what the individual themselves wants.

05:39 IsambardPrince; If you've got cancer, they don't make you do anything.

05:40 IsambardPrince; You have the right to respond to it however you want.

05:40 IsambardPrince; You can go to an aggressive treatment plan and do everything the doctor says, or you can sit back and start popping pain pills and smoking weed, and waiting for it to spread and spread and eventually kill you.

05:40 IsambardPrince; Because "It's the patient's right to do what they want to about that."

05:41 IsambardPrince; We're not getting better on this.

05:42 IsambardPrince; The government throws more money at making the existing system even more oppressive.

05:43 IsambardPrince; You notice how Senator John Fetterman got treated for depression. He checked himself in, got treatment, left a month later. Nobody even came for his pile of guns, which he still has!

05:44 IsambardPrince; How bad was his depression? Bad enough that he couldn't shuffle around the Senate voting on things I guess.

05:44 IsambardPrince; Nobody else gets treated like that.

05:45 IsambardPrince; When you're a nobody and you ask for help, you get committed, they take away your rights. The cops show up and demand all your guns if you have any. They "medicate you" and it doesn't matter what you want. If you don't take it they'll bend it over and give it to you as a shot in the ass.

05:57 IsambardPrince; Being "medicated" by doctors that don't even know what they're doing is annoying.

05:58 IsambardPrince; My parents took me to one when I was like 6. He put me on Ritalin.

05:58 IsambardPrince; Then later they said I had bipolar disorder.

05:58 IsambardPrince; So who is even right? Are you saying they put someone with bipolar disorder on Ritalin?

05:58 IsambardPrince; That's a great bit of malpractice, but nobody gets in trouble.

05:59 IsambardPrince; The medication will probably shave years off my life.

05:59 IsambardPrince; If I don't take it, I'll probably die a lot sooner than that.

05:59 IsambardPrince; It's a great choice.

6 AM, September 24

06:01 IsambardPrince; I can just about barely even get by. It's humiliating. I no longer see much of a reason to want to do anything, it's just gone.

06:02 IsambardPrince; Between whatever this fucking crap has done to me and the system attacking me five years ago and forcing me to spend everything I had I've pretty much given up.

06:02 IsambardPrince; Part of me just feels like I only have to live a couple more weeks and then it doesn't matter.

06:02 IsambardPrince; It's why I haven't done anything about all the growths that I can feel that weren't there months or weeks ago.

06:03 IsambardPrince; It's probably cancer but I don't really even want to know.

06:15 IsambardPrince; <schestowitz[TR2]> so they can get a pair of prostitute and viagra

06:15 IsambardPrince; <schestowitz[TR2]> with her money

06:15 IsambardPrince; The Catholic Church is thieves.

06:15 IsambardPrince; Anyway, I was considering the mugging again.

06:16 IsambardPrince; It's etched in there pretty good.

06:16 IsambardPrince; The irony isn't lost on me that all I've ever wanted at the end of my life was to die on my feet. And they decided to deny me that.

06:18 IsambardPrince; All I've gotten instead were 9 more bad years.

06:21 IsambardPrince; Nobody is going to take care of Mandy when I die, so that's sort of one of the hangups. I'll probably talk to my doctor in a couple days when I'm in there anyway and see if we can find out what the hell these things are and why they seem to be appearing and growing so quickly.

06:21 IsambardPrince; My mother is barely competent to take care of herself and terrible with money.

06:21 IsambardPrince; She's not going to help him if I'm gone.

06:46 IsambardPrince; In a later episode, it's shown that Data was able to easily get the crew to abandon most of the Enterprise, lock the captain out of the computer, and hijack the ship.

06:47 IsambardPrince; He wouldn't have had to go along with Commander Maddox's order to be disassembled. He definitely had options.

06:48 IsambardPrince; He corralled them to Main Engineering by shutting down the life support on the bridge. He doesn't need air or an ambient temperature a human can survive, so that means he could force them to abandon the entire ship, if he needed to.

This seems unethical on the part of the USA government. I doubt antivirus makers make weapons, so despite USA is in another cold war with Russia, they shouldn't just start banning unrelated stuff.

13:18 schestowitz[TR2]; "

13:18 schestowitz[TR2]; I am glad to hear you landed on your feet even though you still don't get health benefits. The average time for finding a job in tech these days is more like 18+ months due the huge numbers of people who have been let go (and continue to be let go) from companies like IBM, Google, Microsoft and others. You just have to go to Web sites like Glassdoor to read the horror stories of US techies who have been let go in the last 24 month

13:18 schestowitz[TR2]; s and have not been able to find a new job. I heard a few days ago from a company that had an entry level tech job opening that I applied for - they were overwhelmed by the number of applications they had received . They got over 400 application for that one job the week after posting it, so you know what the competition is. This is the world we have created for ourselves in the US by outsourcing and transferring skills and jobs t

13:18 schestowitz[TR2]; o Third world countries (can you say H1B visa ?) and pretending to ourselves that we were going to do more valuable and rewarding work by upskilling in something like AI. It is a total lie brought to you by the unethical executives, managers and CEOs of companies like IBM. And the same lie is brought to you by our crooked politicians in Washington - Democrats and Republicans - who bear a lot of the blame too. Americans need to set

13:18 schestowitz[TR2]; terms limits on all of them. They have allowed millions good tech jobs to go overseas without even trying to stop the flow. Big business (tech companies) and unethical executives (like Alvind) and US politicians get rich while the rest of us are thrown into the gutter. Globalization and Capitalism work for the select few at the top only but no one ever tells you that until you experience it first hand when you are shown the door.

13:18 schestowitz[TR2]; The realization comes only when you have been unemployed for more than a year and can find no job like the one that was taken from you. Open borders are another lie and will bankrupt America but that is another story for another day. America is on the road to ruin and there is no turning back.

13:18 schestowitz[TR2]; The bottom line is we in the US need to become self reliant and dump globalization, stop the outsourcing of jobs and push out those who say globalization is the cure for all our troubles. It may be great for Big Business and Third World countries but not for the middle class in the US. The only winners are the big business shareholder guys on Wall Street and the corrupt and unethical politicians and business executives.

18:05 schestowitz[TR2]; If AK leaves, it will not be before he rightsizes IBM from their legacy labor costs. He was brought into this job to rightsize IBM, and the board has big time incentives for him to accomplish that goal. He is well on his way with USA head count now within the 35k target, and Northern Europe within the 28k headcount target. India and other low cost labor locations have temporarily benefited from this as they have gotten to almost 5

18:05 schestowitz[TR2]; 0% of IBMs worldwide head count, but AI will quickly reduce their numbers as repetitive tasks are the new offshoring target. The new IBM CEO will have incentives and they will focus on AI and automating IBM. So will IBM end 2024 with 290k headcount. Most likely yes with India at 150+ mostly increasing at the USA and Northern Europes expense. Will IBM end 2025 at 290k? Nope as AI will reduce Indias and other offshored headcou

18:05 schestowitz[TR2]; nt substantially. The only other piece of IBM that needs to be streamlined is non-enterprise IBM. (especially TSS) Look for scaleout endeavors to be partnered off as margins have been squeezed, low end market share is shrinking, and IBM abandons non-strategic endeavors. Will AK get to this task before he leaves? Flip a coin, but certainly any new CEO would like to have this in their rear view mirror.

19:13 schestowitz[TR2]; like those taiwanese phones

19:13 schestowitz[TR2]; bu.hu !

19:14 MinceR; hungarians wish they could make pagers in this shithole

19:14 MinceR; they can't

19:18 schestowitz[TR2]; it's not hard

19:18 schestowitz[TR2]; you set up a factory

19:18 schestowitz[TR2]; bring in dutch and german machines

19:18 schestowitz[TR2]; but then you are not really making your own plant

19:18 schestowitz[TR2]; you just allocate some land

19:18 MinceR; if it's not hard, why are they making all the IC-s in taiwan and none of them in the EU?

19:19 schestowitz[TR2]; in reality, countries PAY the COMPANIES to "choose" them

19:19 schestowitz[TR2]; and "create jobs"

19:19 schestowitz[TR2]; so it's rigger

19:19 schestowitz[TR2]; or they offer dirt-cheap local workforce

19:19 schestowitz[TR2]; or even imported workers, like they do in taipei

19:19 MinceR; they'd have to import them, as they already do

19:19 schestowitz[TR2]; right

19:19 schestowitz[TR2]; taiwan bring in slaves

19:20 schestowitz[TR2]; they work in their factories

19:20 schestowitz[TR2]; like prisoners

19:20 schestowitz[TR2]; based on standards of TW

19:20 MinceR; i doubt any taiwanese corporation is interested in building and running a factory in orbanistan

19:20 schestowitz[TR2]; and then expored

19:20 MinceR; orbanistan is a colony of communist china

19:20 schestowitz[TR2]; it's a really cruel labour system

19:20 schestowitz[TR2]; orbanistan is not stable

19:20 schestowitz[TR2]; it's at war

19:20 schestowitz[TR2]; like kaliningrad

19:20 MinceR; orbanistan is assisting child abducting genocidal nuclear terrorists

19:20 schestowitz[TR2]; it's just separated from its "homeland"

19:21 schestowitz[TR2]; or "maaainland"

19:21 MinceR; the same empire that is threatening to exterminate everyone living on taiwan

19:22 schestowitz[TR2]; the border to the noth is already being sealed

19:22 MinceR; btw, one of the german shitbox makers already discovered that they can't trust people in orbanistan to manufacture anything without serious quality issues

21:25 MinceR; why would it? "rule of law" was a lie authoritarians used to sell us the concept of the state

21:25 Sompi_; The powers-that-be just enforce it anyway

21:25 Sompi_; That's why non-centralized messaging protocols are the way to go

21:26 Sompi_; Protocols like IRC that are completely agnostic to the base protocol and encryption

21:26 Sompi_; The base protocol doesn't even have to be a TCP pipe. It can be anything

21:31 Sompi_; the new Telegram rules are written in such way that basically even all anti-woke content becomes problematic

21:31 Sompi_; and anti-WEF content

21:32 Sompi_; basically everything that is against the western establishment

21:32 MinceR; so what's going to happen when the western establishment goes away?

21:36 Sompi_; Either the new establishment is good and restores the privacy, or it is bad and uses the information that it now has for even worse things than the current establishment

22:51 IsambardPrince; They used to pipe soundtrack music from their movies and TV shows into the park over the loudspeaker.

22:52 IsambardPrince; They put in a lot of rides based on their TV shows and stuff.

22:52 IsambardPrince; It used to actually be fun to go out and do stuff like visit a theme park for a few days.

22:53 IsambardPrince; Now you go there and you have a bunch of "youths" that cause a fight and they shut down because the cops are out there and they won't give anyone their money back.
