01:48 DaemonFC; Well, that's fun.
01:48 DaemonFC; So the Treasury issues these weird electronic 1099-INTs without any FEIN (payer ID) on them.
01:49 DaemonFC; And TurboTax demands a FEIN or it won't let you enter them.
01:49 DaemonFC; So I spent 20 minutes figuring out what the Treasury Direct FEIN is so I could enter my 1099-INT.
01:50 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], This tax return will be 100% accurate, all I'm waiting for is one more form.
01:50 DaemonFC; Told it should arrive Monday.
01:50 DaemonFC; I was talking to mom about Dave's income taxes.
01:51 DaemonFC; I told her she's lucky he never got them audited.
01:51 DaemonFC; With his behavior, I'm surprised he never got a letter from the Criminal Investigation Division.
01:53 DaemonFC; The IRS is nice and puts lettering on the outside of the envelope so you know what it is before you open it up.
01:54 DaemonFC; If you ever get anything with "CID" written on it, it means you should go shit before you open it and shit yourself. :)
01:55 DaemonFC; There's basically three levels of fucked with IRS Audits.
01:56 DaemonFC; There's CP2000, which is just "they've corrected the return because of a bit of unreported income", could be a few bucks you owe them, could be hundreds or thousands, or it could actually be a refund (in which case you're not fucked. They audited you and they found out they owe you money and here's a check.).
01:58 schestowitz[TR]; 0/
01:58 schestowitz[TR]; writing atm
01:58 DaemonFC; Then there's Civil Penalties. This is bad. This would be like, you substantially underreported your income and they fine you for that.
01:59 DaemonFC; Then there's CID cases.
01:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0
01:59 DaemonFC; This is willful tax fraud. They take you to court, you owe all of the penalties, and you can go to prison and be fined as part of the conviction too.
01:59 DaemonFC; You have to have done something really bad to get to the CID.
2 AM, January 14
02:00 DaemonFC; They have to prove that you deliberately took bogus deductions or under-reported by an amount so large it couldn't have possibly been overlooked.
02:00 DaemonFC; They've never even done this to my dad, back in the 90s, when that's basically what all of his returns were.

02:03 DaemonFC; Married couples with an immigration case pretty much have to file joint returns, even if it results in higher taxes.

02:21 DaemonFC; Illinois has a law called BIPA, the Biometric Information Privacy Act.
02:21 DaemonFC; Basically every corporate "social media" company and every smartphone app and Google and Apple and most Android vendors, as well as Microsoft and Amazon are being sued over this.
02:21 DaemonFC; Alongside hundreds of other "tech" companies.
02:21 DaemonFC; Pretty much any device or program that sees your face.
02:21 DaemonFC; Why? Because they're all breaking the Illinois privacy law.
02:21 DaemonFC; There have been billions in damages, and they're all lobbying to get it repealed.
02:21 DaemonFC; mjg59_ employers and potentials.
02:21 DaemonFC; He's worked for at least one company that has lost 3 BIPA lawsuits already.
02:22 DaemonFC; Two of them related to Android and one related to Google Plus.
02:27 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], The Manager at Long John Silver's gave me like $30 worth of food for free.
02:27 DaemonFC; They were getting ready to close and someone accidentally put in my order twice.
02:28 DaemonFC; So I told them what had happened and he said don't worry about it. Just take or or they'd have to throw it away.
02:29 DaemonFC; "Nepotism is a very big problem. It puts in technical positions people who otherwise would never occupy such positions."
02:29 DaemonFC; The former mayor of Waukegan hired 27 friends and family members for no-show jobs.
02:29 DaemonFC; But they were all getting city paychecks to do nothing.
02:30 DaemonFC; "wrong assumptions and a hyperbole"
02:30 DaemonFC; and hyperbole

02:35 DaemonFC; Walmart does this automatically.

02:35 DaemonFC; "List of people who have been here 5 years." and so on.
02:35 DaemonFC; It's very impersonal.
02:36 schestowitz[TR]; yeah
02:36 DaemonFC; If you make it 20 years or something, they *might* order a few pizzas and grab some Sam's Cola off the shelf. :)
02:36 schestowitz[TR]; can imagine
02:38 DaemonFC; It's really sad because I worked with like, one lady who made it thirty years there, and she was still doing the same job she had been in 1975.
02:38 schestowitz[TR]; wow
02:38 schestowitz[TR]; 1975
02:39 DaemonFC; They ordered a couple pizzas and then it was back to stocking the baby supplies.

02:45 schestowitz[TR]; examples
02:45 DaemonFC; You buy one TV and it works fine for decades.
02:45 schestowitz[TR]; (mind you, been eyars since I last drove or bought a car)
02:45 DaemonFC; Or you buy a Chinese TV and you need a new TV every 3-5 years.
02:45 schestowitz[TR]; 1) dash has issue
02:45 schestowitz[TR]; replace dash
02:45 DaemonFC; Fucking crap is what it is.
02:45 schestowitz[TR]; but... after 10 years do they still MAKE it?

02:45 DaemonFC; And yes, it is our fault for tolerating that, I guess.
02:45 schestowitz[TR]; 2) engine conduit
02:45 schestowitz[TR]; do they still have compatible charting stations?
02:46 schestowitz[TR]; wheat if you move hoimes?
02:46 DaemonFC; <schestowitz[TR]> like al's dodge
02:46 schestowitz[TR]; to an area that has no such stations?
02:46 schestowitz[TR]; that limits your movement
02:46 DaemonFC; I still see a lot of American cars made in the 70s and 80s.
02:46 DaemonFC; People still driving them.
02:46 schestowitz[TR]; 3) cart electrics
02:46 schestowitz[TR]; *car
02:46 DaemonFC; It pays to keep a pre-1996 car going here.
02:46 schestowitz[TR]; lots can go wrong
02:46 DaemonFC; You don't have to smog test any of them.
02:47 schestowitz[TR]; the components get more complex over time
02:47 DaemonFC; So you don't worry if you can get your plates because you're exempt.
02:47 schestowitz[TR]; a soldering gun and some parts off ebay won't fix it
02:47 DaemonFC; My mechanic has a 1995 Honda and he says he keeps it because he can always get his plates and not have to do any emissions work on it.
02:47 schestowitz[TR]; manual window?
02:48 schestowitz[TR]; 1995 honda maybe electric
02:48 schestowitz[TR]; that was "all the rage" around then
02:48 schestowitz[TR]; like sneakers with lights in them
02:48 schestowitz[TR]; that was more like 1990
02:48 schestowitz[TR]; the skateboard era
02:48 schestowitz[TR]; then rollerblades
02:50 schestowitz[TR]; not kids exercise only their thumb
02:50 schestowitz[TR]; not all kids
02:50 schestowitz[TR]; but many
02:51 schestowitz[TR]; skateboard is good exercise form
02:51 schestowitz[TR]; relatively safe unless on the road
02:51 schestowitz[TR]; ebikes seem to have killed off segway
02:57 DaemonFC; I remember the sneakers with the lights in them.

03:14 DaemonFC; When I was on probation for Disorderly Conduct, they gave me a Machiavellian Personality test.
03:14 DaemonFC; I told her I recognized the questions.
03:14 DaemonFC; When she said "The difference between a criminal and everyone else is the criminal got caught.", I said, "A Law Professor named Harvey Silverglate wrote a book saying that the average American commits three felonies a day without realizing it. And that's just the federal laws. You follow anyone around and choose to care about it, you have a criminal. Sure."

03:28 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I logged into the Waukegan library and suggested this book for purchase.
03:31 MinceR; "Print length" "1 pages"
03:31 MinceR; hmm.
03:31 MinceR; pretty short book.

03:49 DaemonFC; Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn described the Soviet GULAG in a way that is a frighteningly accurate description of the American court system.
03:49 DaemonFC; "A garbage disposal system is not judged by its fairness, but rather by its ability to dispose of garbage quickly and inexpensively."
03:50 DaemonFC; When your "justice system" starts viewing human beings as garbage to be broken down and gotten rid of quickly, you're not living in a Free country.
03:56 DaemonFC; MinceR, I pleaded guilty to the Disorderly Conduct statute precisely because it's incomprehensibly vague.
03:57 DaemonFC; It describes literally so many different types of behavior that it's impossible for anyone to determine what you did if you were sentenced for it.
03:57 DaemonFC; Somehow it seemed better than "Aggravated Assault".
03:58 DaemonFC; You could be a protester that got too close to an abortion clinic.
03:58 DaemonFC; You might be engaged in promoting a cock fight.
03:58 DaemonFC; You might have yelled at someone.

04:12 DaemonFC; "Our penchant for voting on everything has reached has reached laughable proportions in Florida, where even "public defenders" must run for office. I can only imagine what the campaigns must be like."
04:12 DaemonFC; Alan Dershowitz, 2009
04:13 DaemonFC; Oopps.
04:13 DaemonFC; Fixed that.
04:13 DaemonFC; I had to retype it because I'm reading it out of an ebook that doesn't allow copy/past.
04:13 DaemonFC; *paste
04:13 DaemonFC; archive.org
04:15 DaemonFC; The only reason to have public defenders up for re-election that I can think of is so the public can punish them for defending their client if they actually manage to do so.
04:19 DaemonFC; It was actually Florida that lost the Supreme Court case that now requires states to provide a public defender. (Gideon)
04:19 DaemonFC; Prior to that, it was very common to have all kinds of cases where you didn't have a lawyer unless you could pay for one yourself, perhaps even if the state was trying to kill you at the end of your trial.
04:19 DaemonFC; The legacy of Trump is potentially to undo this too. Those Republican judges are far from finished.
04:19 DaemonFC; Reply
04:19 DaemonFC; Ugh

04:21 phanes; andrew tate. discuss.
04:32 geert; whats with this andrew tate it seem like some hot topic these days
04:32 geert; gimme sec imma google
04:36 geert; oof i already get some see
04:37 geert; SJW entanglement maze with lots of people trying politize others etc.
04:38 geert; many pointing at tate and others because they would be deliberately imperfect and stimulating such imperfection with others, *according* to *their* *view*
04:38 geert; and vice versa
04:38 mjg59_; I mean, he's a rapist
04:39 geert; i wouldn't be too sure about that
04:39 geert; there is so much misinforming tendencies going around these days
04:39 mjg59_; Who's just been arrested for forcing women into sex work
04:39 geert; already convicted, too?
04:39 mjg59_; Nope
04:39 geert; so well lets try not mess up state of law like many those SJW entangled politizing goons try
04:40 geert; this pointing based on *their* *perception* suggest couple of things;
04:40 geert; the pointers would be less deliberately imperfect, kind of ubermensch
04:41 geert; shit goes down *outside* court, so populism hearsay, not so much professional rebuttal
04:41 mjg59_; He sent someone a whatsapp message saying "I loved raping you"
04:41 geert; do we know this for sure?
04:41 mjg59_; Yes
04:41 geert; do we know for sure its not some fetish where he still requires consent?
04:41 mjg59_; The woman in question asserts that she didn't give consent
04:42 geert; so did he keep spamming her, stalking her or was it maybe assumption from his side that she'd share such fetish, possibly?
04:42 geert; it wouldnt be the first time if such tries would be abused
04:42 mjg59_; He raped her, and then she continued a consensual relationship with him
04:42 geert; how do we know for sure he raped her?
04:42 geert; who is saying this
04:43 geert; you say he got arrested for it but not convicted or is it another case already?
04:43 geert; look imnot trying to say im pro his stances
04:43 geert; i just dont like the SJW populism nasty going round so much
04:43 mjg59_; https://www.vice.com/en/article/wxn3dm/andrew-tate-whatsapps-arrest
04:43 TR Bot; I Love Raping You: What Andrew Tate Told Woman Who Accused Him of Rape
04:44 geert; also, many those who point about 'deliberate' imperfection try to influence others indirectly with it, kind of sublimal advertising but than rather social/emotional psychology for so called 'ideology' causes
04:44 geert; gimme sec imma read
04:45 geert; read a bit*/glancing/speedreading
04:45 geert; i was actually messing with some bash
04:45 geert; btw in b4; vice is *much* politizing nastyinvolved
04:46 geert; they fricken get paid to politize
04:46 geert; well part of pay though
04:47 geert; hmmm exactly as i already though, LOADS of SJW escalation
04:48 geert; why would they refuse to pursue charges with some serious proof?
04:48 geert; writing such sms could be SJW crap from his side too, just considering so called 'libtards' assholes he could mess with or something seeking attention
04:49 geert; 'rape' means RAPE, as in SERIOUS RAPE. if he did that, charges should be pursued, but then again, its very unlikely if there wouldn't be proof about such crimes
04:49 geert; this shit smells like lots of SJW gutter crap on both sides
04:49 geert; his side e.g. with such nasty messages for whatever reason, whether its to shock or whatever
04:50 mjg59_; Sure is impressive how this channel just keeps attracting people who want to defend rapists
04:50 geert; imrather defending state of law
04:50 geert; refusing to call somebody rapist for some messages vice got access to
04:50 schestowitz[TR]; mjg59_ goes to conferences for sex
04:50 schestowitz[TR]; accuses others of rape something
04:50 schestowitz[TR]; mjg59_ alsom wants to stab people
04:50 mjg59_; schestowitz[TR]: Yeah I keep telling you that's not true and you keep saying it
04:50 schestowitz[TR]; accuses others of violence
04:50 geert; we get plenty frustrated people who write frustrated messages for also politizing goals etc. who didnt got commit to least bit of rape
04:50 schestowitz[TR]; mjg59_ transphobe
04:51 schestowitz[TR]; uses that to attack other people who are not
04:51 schestowitz[TR]; go hide under a table, ugly loser
04:51 geert; we should seriously refrain from populism stances
04:51 geert; if somebody commit rape, they leave stuff like dna on the body
04:51 geert; if such victims dont live in 'dprk' but e.g. uk, this is quite easily proven
04:51 geert; its not like themiddle ages
04:51 geert; i really dont try favor the SJW populism mess going round
04:52 geert; btw on all 'sides of the isle'
04:52 geert; i dislke 'anti libtard' shit too btw
04:52 mjg59_; geert: No, there's potentially evidence that sex occurred. But even then, it's common that victims don't report rape until that's no longer possible to verify.
04:53 schestowitz[TR]; <MinceR> "Print length" "1 pages"
04:53 geert; than if victims wait so long, its partially on them if a rapist walks
04:53 schestowitz[TR]; leaflet?
04:53 geert; i would almost consider it complicit to the fricken crime
04:53 geert; supermarkets practically around many corners etc
04:53 geert; many middle age victims would be very very fond with todays means
04:54 geert; middle ages* victims
04:54 geert; people from hundredsyears ago
04:54 mjg59_; geert: Sure, that has an impact on whether or not someone is convicted of rape. Doesn't change whether or not it was rape.
04:55 geert; mjg59 basically with todays means if victims DO get serious about demanding police intervention, no rapist needs to walk
04:55 geert; as long as people demand intervention/press charges
04:55 geert; which goes beyond reporting to me with larger crimes such as rap
04:55 geert; rape*
04:56 schestowitz[TR]; so I did a video about EPO
04:56 schestowitz[TR]; anyone here forced to hotydesk?

05:43 geert; but collecting is basically legal
05:43 geert; as long as its about collegues
05:44 geert; not legally being able to just do anything with it doesnt mean you cannot contact them later on after you got cut from biz inbox as an example
05:44 geert; that kind of contacting is basically legal
05:44 geert; collecting inf about customers e.g. writing down email addresses from biz inbox thats wholly different story
05:44 geert; trying leech employees from company too, if they got proof on one trying that stuff
05:45 geert; but one should watch out, since if one employee mix personal email with biz inbox, they basically provide employer insight into that

07:01 DaemonFC; Once it's on the books, the state never wants rid of it.
07:01 DaemonFC; While the intention of the Illinois legislature was to criminalize doing nearly anything while Black if the police officer wants to cite it, it can be twisted and applied to anyone.
07:01 DaemonFC; I am a victim of a racist law.
07:03 DaemonFC; The cops admitted while I was down there that they were overcharging me so that I would give up and plead to Disorderly Conduct. The officer said, matter of factly, "Get yourself a good attorney and you can get this down to Disorderly Conduct. I would not settle for anything less than that.". So depending on how you look at it, the guy at the desk who released me without bail (who was not on duty when the others brought me in 8 hours prior)

07:38 DaemonFC; https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2007/10/introduction.html
07:38 TR Bot; Introduction
07:38 DaemonFC; "At the federal prosecutors office in the Southern District of New York, the staff, over beer and pretzels, used to play a darkly humorous game. Junior and senior prosecutors would sit around, and someone would name a random celebritysay, Mother Theresa or John Lennon.
07:38 DaemonFC; It would then be up to the junior prosecutors to figure out a plausible crime for which to indict him or her. The crimes were not usually rape, murder, or other crimes youd see on Law & Order but rather the incredibly broad yet obscure crimes that populate the U.S. Code like a kind of jurisprudential minefield: Crimes like false statements (a felony, up to five years), obstructing the mails (five years), or false p
07:38 DaemonFC; retenses on the high seas (also five years). The trick and the skill lay in finding the more obscure offenses that fit the character of the celebrity and carried the toughest sentences. The, result, however, was inevitable: prison time."
07:40 DaemonFC; "Why are there dead zones in U.S. law? The answer goes beyond the simple expense of enforcement but betrays a deeper, underlying logic. Tolerated lawbreaking is almost always a response to a political failurethe inability of our political institutions to adapt to social change or reach a rational compromise that reflects the interests of the nation and all concerned parties. Thats why the American statutes are full of laws that no
07:40 DaemonFC; one wants to see fully enforcedor even enforced at all.
07:40 DaemonFC; This political failure can happen for many reasons. Sometimes a law was passed by another generation with different ideas of right and wrong, but the political will necessary to repeal the law does not exist."
07:40 DaemonFC; This happened very recently.
07:40 DaemonFC; In 1996, the panic over the possibility of gay marriage caused Congress and President Clinton to pass the "Defense of Marriage Act".
07:40 DaemonFC; The law was literally gay panic in black and white text.
07:41 DaemonFC; It said that states don't have to recognize same-sex marriages performed where they're legal, and the federal government never will.
07:41 DaemonFC; It took well over 8 years AFTER the US Supreme Court struck it down for Congress to remove it from the law books.
07:42 DaemonFC; And it took almost 20 years of sitting on the books, fully enforced, for the Supreme Court to admit it was unconstitutional.
07:43 DaemonFC; Right now, state law books are littered with unenforceable same-sex marriage bans.
07:43 DaemonFC; It "sends a message" that your state won't repeal them.
07:43 immibis; here's the X11 thing and why we need something like Wayland: https://magcius.github.io/xplain/article/

07:43 DaemonFC; And there's a chance that they might become enforceable again.
07:43 immibis; schestowitz: ^
07:43 DaemonFC; "Whatever the reason, when politics fails, institutional tolerance of lawbreaking takes over."
07:45 DaemonFC; There's a law in Huntington, Indiana that makes the local Walmart illegal.
07:46 DaemonFC; It sells sex toys in violation of the zoning ordinance.
07:46 DaemonFC; Nobody is enforcing it because they're the biggest employer and source of taxes in the city.

07:48 DaemonFC; It's pretty funny. AFAICT, Walmart decided to sell dildos, vibrators, and butt plugs without checking what any local ordinance or state law on that is.
07:48 DaemonFC; So many of their stores are now illegal.

08:03 schestowitz[TR]; wayland is not ready
08:04 schestowitz[TR]; lots of things I use are not compatible
08:04 schestowitz[TR]; at all
08:04 schestowitz[TR]; not flaky
08:04 schestowitz[TR]; just not compatible. PERIOD.
08:04 schestowitz[TR]; with no plans to make it compatible
08:04 immibis; did you read it? now or in the past
08:04 schestowitz[TR]; this week
08:04 schestowitz[TR]; i know what does not work
08:05 schestowitz[TR]; even if wayland offers something
08:05 schestowitz[TR]; if it breaks something
08:05 schestowitz[TR]; then I'm not interested
08:05 immibis; nobody is talking about wayland except yo
08:05 immibis; u
08:05 schestowitz[TR]; you brought it up today
08:05 schestowitz[TR]; many talk about wayland
08:05 schestowitz[TR]; and the consensus is that it's not there yet
08:05 immibis; the point is that X is wrong not that wayland is right
08:05 schestowitz[TR]; and they keep saying next eyar
08:06 immibis; like if I say "here's why github is better than sourceforge because sourceforge is using an outdated model" and you say "github is terrible because it's proprietary" that is missing the point

08:07 schestowitz[TR]; wayland proponents are not the types I trust
08:07 schestowitz[TR]; they prmote "modern" things for no good reasons

08:18 agg1; the EPA (environmental protection agency, nuclear safety and radiation protection) required 3month now, to notify me four times the application documents are being processed

08:20 agg1; the railway subsidiary didn't respond anymore at all, and with the phone number i noted while ago noone responds anymore
08:20 immibis; "Nobody really wants to run X: what they do want is a way to run several applications at the same time using large screen. If you want to run Unix,its either X or a dumb character-based terminal."
08:21 agg1; anyway, meanwhile i didn't program anything anymore, and terminated all my work... since then i got alot of time to relax and clean my appartment
08:22 agg1; given the fact, with the recent "energy prices" i could not heat any room anymore, and had to treat the walls with chlorine to prevent fungus, which i did
08:23 agg1; the financial department notified me, my objection is being processed and may require up to three month for a conclusive response
08:23 agg1; so, i checked all data again, and prepare for a criminal complaint about this
08:24 agg1; had a short phone call with the energy provider too, who explained energy prices were ~12cents/kWh for natural gas, and 44cents/kWh for electricity (electricity price too doubled recently!)
08:24 schestowitz[TR]; <immibis> it's not just about those pages, it's also about cementing github as "the" place to host things
08:24 schestowitz[TR]; yexs, exactly
08:24 schestowitz[TR]; or amazojn as "the place" to shop
08:24 agg1; anyway, the landlord didn't respond to my letter either, to explain how he could bill me 100cents/kWh or more; and that's what i prepare for to file a criminal complaint at court
08:24 schestowitz[TR]; some people learn this in uni/college
08:25 schestowitz[TR]; they think git=-github
08:25 schestowitz[TR]; and web pages are also github
08:25 agg1; neither financial department nor the landlord responded yet
08:25 schestowitz[TR]; or FB
08:26 immibis; agg1: he's your landlord, that means he's your lord, that means he can do whatever he likes with no consequences. Such is life in capitalism.
08:27 agg1; wrong immibis, all citizens in germany must comply with law, such as civil law (Brgerliches Gesetzbuch)
08:28 immibis; the law says landlords can do whatever the hell they want and it's unconstitutional for the government to stop them
08:28 immibis; Die Wrde des Eigentums ist unantastbar.
08:28 agg1; buying energy/gas for 12cents and selling it for 10x the price is a violation of law (BGB 138), one example
08:28 immibis; Die Wrde des Eigentums ist unantastbar.
08:28 immibis; Die Wrde der Rendite, auch.
08:29 immibis; When a referendum comes 59.1% "yes please just take the property back from the landlords because they are mismanaging it" - "Sorry! Expropriation is unconstitutional"
08:29 immibis; When a coal company wants to mine straight through a village instead of 50 meters to the left "We are expropriating your village."
08:29 agg1; furthermore, if the landlord spouses threats then this is a criminal case (extortion and fraud, erpressung), which is even outside of civil law then, that's criminal and subject to penalty (Strafgesetzbuch)
08:30 agg1; there's another fact which is ridiculously simple to comprehend: energy which i do not consume must not be paid for, end of discussion
08:31 agg1; they bill me with energy which i do not consume at all, alot of it, 10x of the real consumption is what they put on my bill since october last year
08:31 agg1; that's another reason why, all this climate activism is a misnomer, because energy which i do not consume doesn't harm the climate or anything

08:33 TR Bot; EPO - Techrights
08:34 agg1; that's how they "justify" this, "energy prices" supposedly increased , which they didn't nowhere near what they put on my bill, carbon tax to safe the climate and whatnot
08:34 agg1; so the real deal is only this, they want cash for nothing
08:34 agg1; that's not "renewable energy", that's Nothing-Energy taxed with 99.9% eco-tax
08:34 immibis; climate activism has nothing to do with your landlord stealing money
08:35 agg1; wrong
08:35 immibis; if they were burning coal your landlord would bill you for the cost of building a nonexistent coal furnace
08:35 immibis; just like he bills you for nonexistent energy
08:35 agg1; there is some tricky legal background to this energy-billing and taxation, and the landlord isn't at fault for this
08:36 immibis; so why don't you tell us
08:36 agg1; contrary, the root cause of this nonsense is exactly this: the "climate activism", which is a cash-grabbing propganda scam
08:37 agg1; it is "climate activists" at fault with their demands for "nuclear shutdown" (march 2023 in germany), hence coal power plants operate at maximum
08:37 agg1; there is that many political twists and lies involved, it's moot to discuss any further
08:37 agg1; i hope police will grab batons and beat those "climate activists" (alliance90/greens) out of government into jail
08:38 immibis; what does this have to do with being billed for nonexistent energy
08:39 mjg59_; Completely normal set of channel participants
08:39 agg1; immibis, social spendings for example, "eco tax" in germany (which had not been ecological ever), was tied to social spendings
08:39 mjg59_; "Why is my IRC channel full of people who defend rapists and argue against climate science" is a question Roy apparently never asks himself
08:41 immibis; agg1: btw what did the greens propose to replace nuclear with, and was it actually built? if not, why not?
08:41 immibis; agg1: recommending the police to beat people you disagree with is itself a crime, therefore I hope the police will grab batons and beat you into jail :)
08:41 agg1; immibis, the "greens" (alliance90) replaced nuclear power with the most gigantic subsidy fraud in german economic history
08:41 immibis; so what is the subsidy fraud
08:42 immibis; why don't you tell us
08:42 agg1; the fraud is trivial, "renewable" installations (solar, wind turbines etc.) provide nowhere near any amount of the advertised energy
08:42 *techuser (~techuser@y48h84m3bw69c.irc) has joined #techrights
08:42 immibis; why do you just keep saying "there was subsidy fraud" like trump says "there was voter fraud"
08:42 agg1; however, the amount of energy is the basis for the subsidies and taxation funneled into this
08:43 agg1; hence they operate with totally fraudulent data, to maximize subsidies funneled into their "renewable" nothing-energy
08:43 immibis; so you are saying they did not provide the return on investment that was expected?
08:43 agg1; even worse
08:43 immibis; nothing-energy means they are totally useless. They produce zero energy?
08:43 agg1; not really, however, there had never been a sane discussion, based on technical and economical facts
08:43 immibis; so they cost too much?
08:43 immibis; they do produce energy but they cost too much per energy amount
08:43 immibis; ?
08:43 agg1; because, i consider wind turbines and solar panels a reasonable NICHE-product
08:44 agg1; wrong, wind turbines and solar panels produce almost nothing, those installations are almost irelevent concerning total primary energy requirements of german industry
08:45 immibis; after the Ukraine war I bought a solar panel and used it to charge a 12V battery - indoors, mind you! - to power an electric sign which I brought to climate protests. Anti-hypocrisy. Works fine.
08:45 immibis; indoors through a window
08:45 immibis; in direct sunlight the panel which is like half a square meter makes about 50 watts
08:45 agg1; nonetheless, they, alliance90/green, seek excess subsidies and taxation for this, it is no coincidence either alliance90/greens excessively agitate for war and weapons supplies in Ukraine
08:45 immibis; (very rough estimations)
08:46 immibis; why do you insist they produce almost nothing? There are gigawatts of wind turbines in the EU IIRC
08:46 agg1; well, police grabbing batons and beating those war criminals into jail is a rather mild penalty for what they did
08:46 immibis; why are you so opposed to *literally free energy* and you insist on digging your energy out of the ground?
08:46 immibis; a wind turbine is basically a perpetual motion machine
08:46 immibis; the wind blows and you get energy

08:50 schestowitz[TR]; he did not commit a crime afaik
08:50 agg1; final nuclear shutdown march 2023, 8 weeks remaining, electricity prices doubled already (on my bill 44cents/kWh), if any private households seeks another contract i had seen offers of 68cents/kWh already few days ago
08:50 agg1; 68cents/kWh for electricity, in germany, and the nuclear plants are operating still
08:51 immibis_; [09:50] <schestowitz[TR]> he did not commit a crime afaik
08:51 immibis_; He committed the same thing he wants to jail other people for
08:51 schestowitz[TR]; but still, arrests should be for actual crimes
08:51 immibis_; I heard energy price went negative earlier this year
08:51 schestowitz[TR]; not detaining people you just simply dislike for some reason
08:51 immibis_; Yeah but if we follow his rules we can
08:52 schestowitz[TR]; otherwise you end up arresting people for the 'crime' of "jewishness" in their bloodline
08:52 immibis_; Fact is, capitalism abhors stable prices
08:53 schestowitz[TR]; capitalism is not about prices
08:53 schestowitz[TR]; capitalism is about the relationship in labour afaik
08:53 immibis_; Traders are all like "haha price gon go up" so they buy futures and price goes up and then it crashes
08:53 schestowitz[TR]; and how the capital gets managed
08:54 immibis_; agg1 just pay for the energy you use and if you don't want to pay don't use it and if you think it's too expensive then try doing it yourself for cheaper
08:54 schestowitz[TR]; the system was always like this
08:54 schestowitz[TR]; even without capitalism
08:54 schestowitz[TR]; the powerful game the system to gain power
08:54 schestowitz[TR]; and then spin that as a reward fore their genius
08:54 schestowitz[TR]; when they control the actual outcome
08:54 schestowitz[TR]; as long as the "peasants" are not rebelling

08:55 immibis; idk, did kings claim to be geniuses? no, they claimed divine right. What was the excuse in USSR?

09:12 agg1; and what might happen then
09:12 immibis; agg1: exactly, and AfD opposes war now
09:13 immibis; then germany buys more power from france and for some reason all the politicians debate nuclear and coal instead of setting up more windmills
09:13 agg1; Russian oil and gas it is
09:13 agg1; too coal was supplied by russia
09:13 agg1; and to my knowledge France is in trouble with their energy grid itself
09:14 immibis; yes, greenwashing. They pretended coal wasn't that bad because the village demolition was happening in Russia and not Germany
09:14 immibis; agg1: then price rises to balance supply and demand. As a right-winger you know this.
09:14 immibis; people who do not want to pay the price reduce their demand
09:14 agg1; misnomer, the price cannot balance any energy which i didn't consume
09:14 immibis; and more sources come online that were unprofitable at lower prices
09:14 immibis; you still have not explained this payment for non-energy
09:14 agg1; someone else is consuming it, and i receive bills for this
09:15 immibis; sounds like your landlord is illegally tapping off your meter
09:15 agg1; that's why they present fraudulent bills
09:15 agg1; the recent billing was fraudulent
09:15 immibis; sounds like your landlord is illegally tapping off your meter, which has nothing to do with the greens
09:16 agg1; whoever had written the bills based on the political agenda here
09:16 agg1; because the landlord contracted a service provider for this
09:18 agg1; i had a phone call with the energy provider too, who explained they are still selling energy (electricity 44cents/kWh, natural-gas for 12cents/kWh), and it wasn't them who fraudlulently billed this
09:18 immibis; You are deliberately refusing to explain what you are talking about. Usually when someone refuses to explain it means THEY are making shit up.
09:18 immibis; If the bill said you used more energy than you actually did -> someone tampered with your meter OR it's an estimated bill (no meter reading) and grossly wrong, but cancels out in the next bill
09:19 agg1; i am not making anything up, on the natural-gas bill the recent "energy price" was more than 100cents/kWh
09:19 agg1; no, i lowered consumption and they "tweaked" the "price" to 10x what the energy provider asks for
09:19 agg1; for natural gas
09:19 immibis; but the consumption was displayed correctly?

09:20 immibis; then you are not paying for energy you didn't use. You are paying for a profit margin. Of your landlord, probably.
09:20 agg1; the consumption data is separated into hot water and heating
09:20 immibis; which has nothing to do with green energy
09:20 agg1; the hot-water metering is reliable and correct, and too the pricing is
09:21 agg1; however, and this is what i am looking forwared to, what the "energy price" for ZERO heating was supposed to be, which i will know march 2023

09:37 schestowitz[TR]; <immibis> If the bill said you used more energy than you actually did -> someone tampered with your meter OR it's an estimated bill (no meter reading) and grossly wrong, but cancels out in the next bill
09:37 schestowitz[TR]; happens a lot in winter
09:37 schestowitz[TR]; they intentionally overestimate
09:37 schestowitz[TR]; even when sunk 'warns' them

09:39 schestowitz[TR]; which might require driving

09:40 schestowitz[TR]; and they despatch people who read the mmeters too irregularly now

22:11 DaemonFC; Feds then go after attorney for failing to retain evidence, under Sarbanes-Oxley.
22:11 DaemonFC; This creates a situation where it's both illegal to have something and illegal to get rid of it. You'll go to fed prison either way.
22:11 DaemonFC; In Illinois, state law says it's a defense in state court to say you've deleted it, but to raise this defense you have to violate SOX.

22:14 DaemonFC; Sarbanes-Oxley creates the situation where EVERY SINGLE TIME you delete a file from your computer, you may have committed a felony that could land you 20 years, if that file MIGHT have POSSIBLY been used in ANY federal investigation at ANY point in time, even if there was no investigation when you deleted the file, you had no reason to think there ever would be an investigation, and no reason to think the file could be evidence of any wrongdoing.

23:35 DaemonFC; Under the Illinois Rules of Evidence, there are differences in how files are stored in a computer.
23:35 DaemonFC; If a file is on the hard drive in a browser cache, it's not considered "on the computer" even if it's on the disk, if a file has been deleted and is in unallocated clusters, same thing.

23:35 DaemonFC; If you've ever sat back and wondered why the fed prosecutors almost always get a conviction or a plea deal from a defendant and why juries, which are composed of American citizens just like in state government trials don't let the same sort of people go at similar rates, it's because federal prosecutors are given much more latitude in how to get "witnesses" to turn on each other and lie in court to save their own ass, or even in exchange for

23:36 DaemonFC; They say conspiracies fall apart faster the more people you bring in on them, but in reality, federal prosecutors operate by inducing witnesses to lie in court, so even if there is no conspiracy, they can cook things up to look like there is one.
23:36 DaemonFC; Then they "climb the ladder" of the "conspiracy" to get to who they want.
23:36 DaemonFC; Quite often the victims of "ladder climbing" are political rivals who have done nothing wrong, and people who make campaign contributions to the opposing party of the President.

23:45 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
23:45 DaemonFC; The federal courts in the United States work so differently than at the state level that the defendant is usually signing their own death warrant by requesting a jury trial in federal court because judges actually convict people far less often than juries do.
23:45 DaemonFC; But only 2% go to trial.
23:45 DaemonFC; The plea bargaining system results in a 99.8% conviction rate while going to trial results in 1 in 12 defendants being acquitted.
23:45 DaemonFC; Taken together, over 8% of the people who plea bargain would've been acquitted.
23:45 DaemonFC; Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz
23:45 DaemonFC; @DaemonFC
23:45 DaemonFC; If we take those statistics and apply them to 150,000 criminal trials at the federal level in 2015, then we can assume that roughly 12,495 people who did nothing wrong took plea bargains in a single year at the federal courts alone to be spared something worse.

23:46 DaemonFC; While the American system is at least as bad, possibly worse.
23:47 DaemonFC; Japan gets almost 100% conviction rates because the prosecutors choose the very worst people to bring to trial and gather all of the evidence they need to get a conviction.
