04:22 IsambardPrince; schestowitz, It's going to take a lot of work to fix that building.

04:22 IsambardPrince; The State built it in 1985 and never did a thing to it since then.

04:23 IsambardPrince; It had a bunch of bathrooms that bums were in and out of all the time. They smelled to high heaven.

04:23 IsambardPrince; Cockroaches and bedbugs infested the building.

04:23 IsambardPrince; They never cleaned or updated the windows, the HVAC system really sucked.

04:24 IsambardPrince; There was a DMV office in the basement, and a food court, and a Walgreens, various State agency offices, but the building looked like Hell.

04:24 schestowitz; <IsambardPrince> I saw the new Google headquarters in Chicago.

04:26 IsambardPrince; If they hadn't spent $400,000 on the toilet-clogging tranny from Hyde Park, Chicago to tell them how to make their workplace more toxic, maybe they could have stayed in Mountain View.

04:27 IsambardPrince; And you know, the millions on other stuff like that.

04:27 IsambardPrince; Chicago is looking a lot better than it did during those idiotic COVID lockdowns.

04:28 IsambardPrince; We've been out and about doing all our normal stuff for the last 5 years, and Roy and Rianne have been bleaching the groceries.

04:28 IsambardPrince; And we've all had COVID once, unless Roy and Rianne let in duh duh duh.....Roy's mum, again.

04:30 IsambardPrince; schestowitz, Firefox as an open core product isn't really a new thing.

04:31 IsambardPrince; But it's completely buried in spyware, and Debian is obviously not interested in fixing it.

04:31 IsambardPrince; Nothing on Mozilla's blog has been worth reading in about 4-5 years now.

04:40 schestowitz; COVID is solved

04:40 schestowitz; because there are wars

04:40 schestowitz; and people stopped talking about health

04:40 schestowitz; and costs of health in the US

04:41 schestowitz; where ER visit costs like 60 flights

04:41 IsambardPrince; Not for me.

04:41 schestowitz; you paay

04:41 schestowitz; some cannot

04:41 schestowitz; or do not

04:41 schestowitz; and you did not

04:41 schestowitz; then you went bankrupt

04:41 schestowitz; and dodged over 100,000 dollars in bills

04:41 IsambardPrince; My medical debt predated the Affordable Care Act.

04:42 schestowitz; so it is a real problem

04:42 IsambardPrince; Had it been the law at the time I would have never had it.

04:42 IsambardPrince; Anyway, I sued the State of Indiana and got the law they denied my Medicaid claim with struck down.

04:43 IsambardPrince; So people won't have to be in that particular situation again.

04:44 IsambardPrince; schestowitz, After they lost, the State legislature changed the law to be more permissive (compatible with federal Medicaid law).

04:45 IsambardPrince; They estimated at the time they would have to approve 49,000 more people in Indiana for Medicaid.

04:45 IsambardPrince; The lawyer that the hospital sent with me was useless. He sat there and did nothing. And I got a second denial.

04:46 IsambardPrince; So I went to the Appeals Court by myself.

04:46 IsambardPrince; The hospital lied. They told me that if I applied for Medicaid and got denied and brought them the denial letter, they would waive everything and call it "charity care" then when I brought them the letter they said "We never told you that."

04:47 IsambardPrince; So I refused to pay them and they sent me to collections.

04:47 IsambardPrince; And they stopped calling me after I told them I owned an obese cat and a 1995 Ford Taurus with a check engine light on, and had maybe a couple hundred bucks.

04:48 IsambardPrince; After I won the case at the Appeals Court, the FSSA was overruled and ordered to cover me with Indiana Medicaid and to quit enforcing that law until the legislature had time to do something about it.

04:49 IsambardPrince; But by that point it was too late for the 90 day lookback which would have paid for the hospital bill.

04:49 IsambardPrince; So I just never paid it.

04:49 IsambardPrince; They can call it whatever they want. They can call it charity care, they can call it bad debt, they can eat my bankrupt ass.

04:50 IsambardPrince; But I'm not going to pay them.

04:51 *Righty has quit (connection closed)

04:51 IsambardPrince; schestowitz, I handled the hospital bill in a number of ways. I didn't pay them, I wrote a letter in the newspaper encouraging people to vote for Barack Obama and the Democrats so we could get healthcare reform, and I got a state law that limited Indiana Medicaid struck down.

05:07 IsambardPrince; I posted, on Reddit: "

05:07 IsambardPrince; To hear the news tell it, Trump has the Imams of Dearborn, Michigan eating out of his hand.

05:07 IsambardPrince; If that's true, they must be the biggest dummies who ever lived, because he's on the phone with Netanyahu talking out the other end of his mouth doing his own version of John McCain's "Bomb Bomb Iran".

05:07 IsambardPrince; "Do whatever you want." He said to "Bibi"."

05:14 IsambardPrince; ---

05:14 IsambardPrince; "I was a few months shy of being 18 on 9/11, and at first I turned the TV on and didn't know what I was seeing, and then it hit me, and I'm sure that the color drained out of my face.

05:14 IsambardPrince; All I could ask was "Why?" and I think the worst part was definitely the tone shift of the American government, against its own citizens. You know, the federal government getting really paranoid and doing all of this invasive "internal security" stuff, and the Orwellian atmosphere.

05:14 IsambardPrince; We never stopped seeing that. Most of the Boomers I know are deeply maladjusted psychologically, and live their lives in hysteria and paranoia, and they channel it to racism. You know, they don't necessarily just limit it to Muslims. They go after everyone now who isn't white.

05:14 IsambardPrince; I got married to someone from the Philippines and my parents don't recognize it as a marriage. They speak disrespectfully to me, and to my husband, and they act like he's stupid or doesn't understand English or something.

05:14 IsambardPrince; I'm afraid I've lived long enough to see a lot of things I didn't want to. An Orwellian version of America, the Boomers aging to the point where whatever filter they did have is just gone.

05:14 IsambardPrince; Lots of things."

05:18 IsambardPrince; schestowitz, My mother was not pleased when I said every time we go near her someone gets sick.

05:18 IsambardPrince; I said we got our flu shots before going down to Chicago and a lot of it is because she's an anti-vaxxer who often brings things with her.

05:19 IsambardPrince; Mandy got done voting and asked who "Kennedy" was. I said, "An idiot. He's crazy."

05:19 IsambardPrince; "He's not even running anymore."

05:23 IsambardPrince; The Green Party has apparently lost ballot access in Illinois.

05:23 IsambardPrince; Yet another example of Jill Stein's brilliance.

05:24 IsambardPrince; I don't even think they have ballot access in enough states that they could win an election. Maybe they're on the ballot in the swing states since their only job is to get Republicans elected.

05:26 IsambardPrince; Kennedy missed the deadline to get off the ballots in North Carolina, Wisconsin, Georgia, and some others I think.

05:27 IsambardPrince; So there was some polling that showed he was hurting Trump more than helping, so he ended his campaign and endorsed Trump since the majority of people saying they'd vote Kennedy were too stupid to see that he was a plant that was designed to steal votes from Harris.

05:28 Righty; How does one steal votes if people have decided to place their vote for x candidate?

05:28 IsambardPrince; schestowitz, I had the Green Party shoving something in my hand trying to get ballot access one year.

05:28 IsambardPrince; I told them I don't support what they're doing.

05:29 IsambardPrince; <Righty> How does one steal votes if people have decided to place their vote for x candidate?

05:29 IsambardPrince; Kennedy's job was to be a vote siphoner.

05:29 IsambardPrince; Basically, one of the "ratfucking" tricks is to prop up a bunch of fake parties that can't win but will steer votes away from a major party and spoil the election.

05:30 IsambardPrince; I don't think party registration by requested/submitted ballots says everything.

05:30 IsambardPrince; I'm on the voter rolls as a Republican.

05:31 IsambardPrince; But it changes sometimes. It depends on if there's anything interesting going on in the Democratic primary that year.

05:31 Righty; That's vote redirection rather than theft of anything.

05:48 IsambardPrince; Voting for a minor party in the US is basically the same as not voting.

05:48 IsambardPrince; You're adding to a small number that ends up somewhere on Wikipedia in the losers column.

05:50 IsambardPrince; There's a Constitution Party. It's a Christian Identity movement.

05:50 IsambardPrince; Surprisingly, they have ballot access in most States.

05:51 Righty; Yes, the consequences of a 2 party system - it's not the same as not voting, as you did not.

05:51 IsambardPrince; I did vote.

05:52 IsambardPrince; I admit, sometimes I vote to just voice my disapproval over something.

05:52 IsambardPrince; Like voting for Nikki Haley when I never would have supported her in the general election.
