00:01 IsambardPrince; Even all these years later, Windows users hate the programs Microsoft bundles for playing media.

00:28 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2]: As to Fedora DEI and Outreachy. As a gay person in an interracial marriage, I can say that I've been around long enough to know the difference between fake politeness from an unrepentant homophobe and corporate charitywashing/PR and genuine "allyship" I think they call it now.

01:36 TR News; "My gemini reader will be a handheld unit for maneuvering around Geminispace, so the name fits perfectly. Like the real HHMU, the device will probably be a bit cumbersome to use!

02:39 schestowitz[TR2]; iiin some waysss

02:42 schestowitz[TR2]; a. it is VERY addictive

02:42 schestowitz[TR2]; b. the body becomes more resistant to it, so you need to consume more for the same, prior effect

02:43 admfubar; another that has several strokes from drinking.. and two more working on acquiring some health issues from it..

02:43 schestowitz[TR2]; so keep drunk a looot of the time, as you aare addicccted to it, you have to get copious amounts of it

02:43 schestowitz[TR2]; unlike some drugs

02:43 schestowitz[TR2]; barrier needs restarting

02:44 admfubar; the most i ever have comes from soy sauce, and mirin and an occasional champagne at new years..

02:45 schestowitz[TR2]; yes, we seldom consume alcohol

03:43 IsambardPrince; > 64% people of color

03:43 IsambardPrince; > 12% people from a historically disadvantaged caste or tribe

03:43 IsambardPrince; This shows that they are out of compliance with S.1981

03:44 schestowitz[TR2]; in what way

03:44 schestowitz[TR2]; ok, questions:

03:44 schestowitz[TR2]; what are they overhiting on?

03:44 schestowitz[TR2]; what about gays?

03:44 schestowitz[TR2]; what about disableddd?

03:44 schestowitz[TR2]; what about the poor??

03:45 IsambardPrince; S. 1981 says that in contracts, like paid internships, all citizens of the United States have "the same rights as White citizens".

03:45 schestowitz[TR2]; what about the ...[enter here]?

03:45 schestowitz[TR2]; also,.

03:45 IsambardPrince; That's how these DEI programs are being dismantled.

03:45 schestowitz[TR2]; WHO decideees what contitutes diversity?

03:45 IsambardPrince; They're not legal and the companies sponsoring them know it.

03:45 schestowitz[TR2]; are indians and chinese a minoriry?

03:45 IsambardPrince; They throw it into reverse gear as soon as anyone calls them on it.

03:45 schestowitz[TR2]; there are about 3 billion of them

03:45 schestowitz[TR2]; laos

03:45 schestowitz[TR2]; also

03:45 schestowitz[TR2]; are jews a minotiry

03:45 schestowitz[TR2]; does fedora put jews on diversity programs?

03:46 schestowitz[TR2]; if not, why not?

03:46 IsambardPrince; They said "disadvantaged minority".

03:46 schestowitz[TR2]; what about buuuffdhists in the US?

03:46 IsambardPrince; But the Outreachy program creates disadvantaged castes.

03:46 IsambardPrince; Like White men.

03:46 schestowitz[TR2]; <IsambardPrince> They said "disadvantaged minority".

03:46 schestowitz[TR2]; like

03:46 schestowitz[TR2]; people who are targeted for genocide?

03:46 IsambardPrince; They don't even mention gay people.

03:46 schestowitz[TR2]; oh

03:46 IsambardPrince; Just a bunch of racial and gender stuff.

03:46 schestowitz[TR2]; sorry to here

03:46 schestowitz[TR2]; ytou are not disadvantaged anymore

03:47 IsambardPrince; IBM sez.

03:47 schestowitz[TR2]; try again

03:47 schestowitz[TR2]; ok

03:47 schestowitz[TR2]; so ICBBBBBM

03:47 schestowitz[TR2]; which profited from

03:47 schestowitz[TR2]; gassin\gays and jews

03:47 schestowitz[TR2]; does nnnot consider them disadvantageddd

03:47 schestowitz[TR2]; aaaaaaand instead prioritises indians

03:48 schestowitz[TR2]; while IBM sends the jobs there

03:48 schestowitz[TR2]; at 3 times less for salary

03:48 schestowitz[TR2]; i think there is a commercial goal here

03:48 schestowitz[TR2]; not equity

03:48 schestowitz[TR2]; it's a political game

03:49 schestowitz[TR2]; ICBM:

03:49 schestowitz[TR2]; here is how to get a job,

03:49 schestowitz[TR2]; do not wear religious apparel

03:49 schestowitz[TR2]; instead, cut off a bodypart

03:49 schestowitz[TR2]; then apply

03:50 schestowitz[TR2]; [van gough applies]

03:50 schestowitz[TR2]; then they wonder why there is widespreak scorn

03:50 schestowitz[TR2]; for such programs

03:50 schestowitz[TR2]; it's a dumb and biased thing

03:50 schestowitz[TR2]; chinese as minority

03:50 schestowitz[TR2]; despite not being

03:50 schestowitz[TR2]; -disadvantaraged

03:51 schestowitz[TR2]; -nor minority

03:51 schestowitz[TR2]; and in their homeland they can be very cruel to, the media does not talk about that

03:51 schestowitz[TR2]; and women are now minority

04:38 schestowitz[TR2]; *form

04:39 schestowitz[TR2]; there is one issue

04:39 schestowitz[TR2]; in the US, afaik

04:39 schestowitz[TR2]; changing identity like name to dodge debt or criminal record

04:40 schestowitz[TR2]; woulld be deemed a crime in its own right

04:40 schestowitz[TR2]; not sure of british law

04:40 *ZedHedTed has quit (connection closed)

04:40 schestowitz[TR2]; that is based on the belief that

04:41 schestowitz[TR2]; "seccond chance" is not the same as other things

04:41 schestowitz[TR2]; for example, saying I am not sure what gender I am

04:41 schestowitz[TR2]; is not the same as, "I want to start over"

04:41 schestowitz[TR2]; as it complicates many things

04:41 schestowitz[TR2]; like credit history

04:41 schestowitz[TR2]; debt and such

04:41 schestowitz[TR2]; or,

04:41 schestowitz[TR2]; a pedo can start over

04:42 schestowitz[TR2]; rape some more little kids

04:42 schestowitz[TR2]; but under another identity

04:42 schestowitz[TR2]; so keeping records of people can be a matter of public safety

04:42 schestowitz[TR2]; early parole for good behaviour is a second chance

04:58 IsambardPrince; And I would never ever have felt bad about that.

04:58 IsambardPrince; Guy admitted to it and then gloated to the police that he had more victims and they would never find them all.

07:12 lord_phanes; y'all really do just spend an inordinate amount of time yapping about got dam nothin

07:12 IsambardPrince; Why do you want those?

07:12 lord_phanes; why does anyone ever want irc logs going back for years

07:13 IsambardPrince; I think that they go back clear to when Lobster could behave better.

07:13 IsambardPrince; Maybe before the weed.

07:13 lord_phanes; what year am i lookin for

07:14 IsambardPrince; Legal Weed was a major milestone in "society fall down go boom".

07:14 IsambardPrince; The government couldn't care less if you die. Or if it's dangerous (it is).

07:14 IsambardPrince; Look how many years they profited off cigarettes, alcohol, gambling, (in some places) hookers.

07:15 lord_phanes; i can see why the gov would use hookers

07:15 IsambardPrince; We've known for years that weed is a bad thing for people with mental illness.

07:15 IsambardPrince; It takes what you've got already....and amplifies it.

07:15 lord_phanes; the dirty deeds department needs way to blackmail people, and hookers are a great vector to do that

07:15 IsambardPrince; So there's the working theory at least.

07:16 *lightbringer (~mincer@freenode/user/lightbringer) has joined #techrights

07:16 lord_phanes; you can't get a hooker to cut off their junk and dedicate their life to defaming you, but you can get alot of great pictures for a manilla folder for those up and comings to see the day before a critical decision 10 years later

07:16 IsambardPrince; The suicide rate in the US has been going up every year another state legalizes weed.

07:17 IsambardPrince; I don't care about transgender people. I think it's a bizarre thing to want to do, but again, that's a personal opinion.

07:17 IsambardPrince; I know some bad ones, but I know plenty of BAD people who are not transgender.

07:18 IsambardPrince; It's just something I don't understand why you would.

07:18 lord_phanes; you're mixing up cause and correlation. correlations are usually indicators but not necessarily causative. it could be the public's increasing casual use of a certain mind altering substance is causing them to notice the framework of their conceptual prisons more easily and increasing the suicide rates in areas where it's in use

07:18 lord_phanes; you're in a debtor colony

07:18 IsambardPrince; I'm well aware that we're living in Hell and what kind of Hell it is.

07:19 IsambardPrince; Few people have much to lose anymore.

07:19 IsambardPrince; I told my mother to just ignore the hospital.

07:19 IsambardPrince; They can't actually do anything.

07:19 lord_phanes; you're fed the illusion that if you work very hard you can get a chance to buy your own farmland and free yourself. its a good story to keep you tilling the master's field.

07:19 lord_phanes; "work hard and pay off your debt and then you're done"

07:20 lord_phanes; but ya won't be

07:20 lord_phanes; you'll just have other debts

07:20 IsambardPrince; Right, I always just told the hospital to fuck off and went on my merry way.

07:20 IsambardPrince; Who actually tried to pay a hospital. I mean, come on.

07:21 IsambardPrince; Now I have Medicaid, and I actually have really good coverage for all this physical therapy.

07:21 IsambardPrince; Which is good.

07:21 lord_phanes; any psychoactive substance influences where the seams in the renders are, so, naturally, they're a threat to all forms of governance that are not intrinsically libertarian

07:21 IsambardPrince; Because I need the PT.

07:22 lord_phanes; i butchered that: any psychoactive substance influences *the visibility* of the seams in the renders...

07:22 IsambardPrince; lord_phanes: If weed threatened the social order by red pilling everyone, no way it would ever be legal.

07:22 lord_phanes; so do some books and philosophical perspectives

07:23 lord_phanes; IsambardPrince: well you have to also take into account that we're in a young budding idiocracy. The rules are kind of falling apart because we're forgetting how to govern largely.

07:23 IsambardPrince; One way to reach transcendence is to just never have anything.

07:23 lord_phanes; no thats just poor

07:23 IsambardPrince; My mom's uncle lived in a school bus parked way down an access road in Arkansas.

07:23 IsambardPrince; What was anyone ever going to do to him?

07:23 lord_phanes; poor people don't get transcendence, just acceptance of being poor

07:24 IsambardPrince; I mean, nobody could do anything to him.

07:24 lord_phanes; you can't really see beyond the rendered image of your cell until you've gained a little wealth and seen beyond how money works by actually interacting with money at those scales

07:24 IsambardPrince; Right, but then people can lose a lot of money.

07:24 lord_phanes; yep

07:25 IsambardPrince; Look at the problems it creates for some of the people who gain a significant amount.

07:25 lord_phanes; im just saying, you aint gonna find nirvana in a mind that's never found wealth

07:25 lord_phanes; you have to have done a little poor and you have to have done a little rich

07:25 lord_phanes; otherwise you'll just create an adaptive framework of acceptance of mediocrity

07:25 IsambardPrince; You don't have to be rich to be generally happy.

07:26 lord_phanes; happy? ew. i didn't say anything about "happy".

07:26 IsambardPrince; If money made people happy, they wouldn't have to take a picture of their luxury toilet to toilet taunt people.

07:27 lord_phanes; they make a pill that can render your cognitive ability permanently disabled but you'll just sit with your eyes rolled into the back of your head until you starve, as happy as you can be. if that's nirvana to you, then you're just a junky with extra steps.

07:27 lord_phanes; look way, way beyond "happy"

07:27 IsambardPrince; What will money do?

07:28 IsambardPrince; Well, next time I get in deep with the hospital, they'd be menacing.

07:28 IsambardPrince; So that doesn't help.

07:28 lord_phanes; any answer i give you will blind you to seeing it on your own

07:28 lord_phanes; and you have to see it on your own

07:28 IsambardPrince; Please tell me how working hard to turn them into a threat helps me.

07:28 lord_phanes; working hard

07:28 lord_phanes; to turn "them" into a "threat"

07:28 lord_phanes; what

07:29 lord_phanes; are you under some kind of influence

07:29 lord_phanes; nobody said that but you

07:29 IsambardPrince; Just giving an example.

07:30 lord_phanes; of what, of your inability to visualize systematic impacts by visualization of hypothetical modifications to variables and properties in your environment

07:30 lord_phanes; i mean

07:31 lord_phanes; after just this short conversation, i'd say give up on meaning and happiness and all that and just make sure you rent a place next to an orange tree orchard or something so you don't starve while you work for rent

07:32 lord_phanes; not everyone deserves to be wealthy, or happy, or lucky, or anything else really

07:32 lord_phanes; of those that do, few of them obtain it, because it's really not got alot to do with justice in human systems

07:33 IsambardPrince; Roy was talking earlier about people who are so poor they have to put their condoms in the dishwasher.

07:33 IsambardPrince; Ideally, you should work hard enough you don't have to do that, but the hospital isn't a threat.

07:33 lord_phanes; that sounds pretty stupid

07:33 IsambardPrince; It sounds stupid, but the CDC had to make a statement on it.

07:33 lord_phanes; anyway, the poor reproducing at a higher rate is part of the process of selection to continue evolving our species

07:34 lord_phanes; resource strain always increases birth rate

07:34 lord_phanes; its universal

07:35 lord_phanes; selection dont care if you're smart or rich

07:35 *capybara (~capybara@freenode-2ue.6ih.pu7h8v.IP) has joined #techrights

07:35 lord_phanes; unfortunately for humans, we've played with the selection criteria through sociopolitical frameworks

07:35 lord_phanes; so selection doesn't even really pay attention to fitness

07:36 lord_phanes; anymore

07:36 lord_phanes; but

07:36 lord_phanes; if we reintroduced that, it would be morally objectionable to all observing, including me

07:37 lord_phanes; so what will happen is we'll drive our population through the roof as resource pipelines strain and collapse, and eventually start having big nasty global wars again, probably with devestating, historically notable consequences for the human population levels

07:38 lord_phanes; and somehow that is superior to just having a once a generation adjustment to the number of kids people are allowed to have, ranging from 0.5 to 3 to be reassessed every 20 years.

07:39 IsambardPrince; The House passed a bill to automatically register men with Selective Service.

07:39 lord_phanes; yeah

07:39 lord_phanes; so what

07:39 IsambardPrince; Almost like they're planning something.

07:39 lord_phanes; oh yeah, the youngins gonna fight

07:39 IsambardPrince; 300 million people in the country....can't find 2-3 million who think it's worth fighting for.

07:40 lord_phanes; well, they had a problem with their internal selection

07:40 lord_phanes; which impacted recruiting for a long time after afghanistan

07:40 lord_phanes; its not that only 2-3 million signed up-- its that only 2-3 million were allowed to

07:40 IsambardPrince; Yeah, this entire batch of young people is the most fucked-in-the-head generation ever.

07:41 IsambardPrince; Living with their parents. No plan to get out of the house.

07:41 lord_phanes; and of those, few qualify for a security clearance because our dq criteria on SF86 was written in the god damned 1950s

07:41 IsambardPrince; Think they can transition and become a dolphin or something.

07:42 lord_phanes; eh you're muddling two different issues

07:42 IsambardPrince; I doubt these people are going to go even if they get drafted.

07:42 IsambardPrince; Our next war will probably look like Russia's.

07:42 lord_phanes; a large scale ground fighting war and the gender bender phenomenon are largely mutually exclusive events

07:43 lord_phanes; that sounds insensitive, but, a high casualty war like WWII would drop trans identification rates to near-zero

07:44 lord_phanes; if its one of those drone wars where we pay kids to drive remote control drones to kill brown families in their homes in gaza it wont have that impact though

07:45 IsambardPrince; That's the fun kind of war.

07:45 IsambardPrince; Little risk.

07:45 IsambardPrince; Just "Bye fuckers!"

07:45 IsambardPrince; Boom.

07:45 lord_phanes; no those escalate to nuclear armeggeddon between major powers

07:46 IsambardPrince; Who (that matters) is going to go to war because of some camel jockeys who were dumb enough to poke the bear?

07:47 lord_phanes; i.e. a russia/china/brics coalition vs nato/us will, if not restricted entirely to ground fighting in strategic areas, mostly through proxies, will potentially result in the annhilation of all life on earth

07:47 IsambardPrince; Cool.

07:47 lord_phanes; and anything that survived wouldn't live well, or for very long

07:48 IsambardPrince; Yeah.

07:48 lord_phanes; in any case, we're on the losing end of "cold war II" unless something dramatic shifts in the dynamics at play

07:48 IsambardPrince; My Podiatrist asked me how close we are to something Russia might target in a nuclear war.

07:49 IsambardPrince; I said, "Like almost everyone, so close you won't notice."

07:49 lord_phanes; i predict our health care, insurance and pretty much everything but the technology sector will completely fail, along with key infrastructure that maintains the current standard of living for most americans

07:50 lord_phanes; well, along the lines of "how close are you", its really a moot point -- the newer nukes are many thousands of times the size of what we think of when we say "nukes". the big guns are so big that it doesn't take a series of launches. it takes one.

07:51 lord_phanes; and then shit just can't live there for a few thousand years without getting uncontrollable cancers

07:54 lord_phanes; no, you won't see a sky filled with missiles while our brave men and women in uniform shoot many down as we can -- it'd be one oddly silent burst of light on the horizon, and a few minutes later an invisible kick to the chest, and then as your eyes burst and your hair melts into you you'll find shelter. and then you'll think you're ok but just got burned really badly for a bit and seek treatment.

07:54 lord_phanes; you'll find some, and get wrapped up and even start to think you are getting better. then you'll melt inside and swell up into a blister of hellish pain, too crippled to beg for the doctor to end it

07:54 lord_phanes; thats if you survive the blast at all

07:55 lord_phanes; the doctors treating you will be in teh same boat, if you're lucky enough to have that kind of aid

07:55 lord_phanes; death by radiation is some of the most horrific shit you'll ever see is what im getting at

07:56 lord_phanes; so go get that job by the power company so you can be close enough to not go through that if it happens

07:58 lord_phanes; oh sweet my log downloads are done

08:18 IsambardPrince; I don't really care if we have a nuclear war.

08:18 IsambardPrince; It would finally all be over.

08:18 IsambardPrince; The pain I'm in every day would be over. My family is basically all gone. I have no friends. No social circle. Nothing much left, actually.

08:19 IsambardPrince; If they start a nuclear war, I hope one of the bombs lands right on top of me.

08:20 IsambardPrince; There's a real possibility of a nuclear exchange eventually.

08:20 IsambardPrince; They lie to the public about how close we get.

08:29 IsambardPrince; Guy's got unlimited money.

08:29 IsambardPrince; Still depressed.

08:29 IsambardPrince; Still can't fix his shitty family.

08:30 IsambardPrince; Still popped out a boy who became a tranny and disowned their father.

08:32 lord_phanes; money buys it, he just doesn't know how

08:33 IsambardPrince; I can't imagine money making me better

08:33 IsambardPrince; I'd probably buy a nice car, a house, then what?

08:33 IsambardPrince; Same brain. I'd still be depressed.

08:34 IsambardPrince; Where does unlimited money get me then, for the sake of argument, if I had unlimited money?

08:34 IsambardPrince; In lots of trouble probably.

08:34 IsambardPrince; If anyone finds out you have money, they all come out of the woodwork wanting to be your friend.

08:34 IsambardPrince; All the gold diggers come out.

08:34 IsambardPrince; It becomes impossible to know who your friends and enemies are.

08:35 lord_phanes; you have to be worthy for it to make those kinds of differences

08:35 IsambardPrince; People would probably even be nice to me if they thought it would benefit themselves somehow, because that's how people are.

08:35 lord_phanes; ya know what you do when you get unlimited resources

08:35 lord_phanes; you buy a company like mansanto and you dismantle it and pay lobbyists to have all variations of it outlawed

08:36 IsambardPrince; Tell your boss to fuck himself and leave and never work again?

08:36 IsambardPrince; I have the t-shirt.

08:36 IsambardPrince; And I'm not rich.

08:36 IsambardPrince; I came to this conclusion.

08:37 IsambardPrince; The harder I worked for money, I still had nothing, really.

08:37 IsambardPrince; I had a couple relatively good years, for me.

08:38 IsambardPrince; What did it attract? Some bum that I was too stupid to throw out of my house that wouldn't even have sex with me and spent all of his money on himself and caused arguments.

08:38 IsambardPrince; That's what not wanting to be alone gets you. It gets you an Ellis.

08:38 lord_phanes; yeah you thought you could become rich by working in the field on the farm to pay your debt and be free instead of running away and starting your own farm

08:39 lord_phanes; common mistake really

08:39 lord_phanes; ive made it myself

08:39 IsambardPrince; Well, lesson one, don't let anyone live off you, ever.

08:43 IsambardPrince; It was peaceful. I never interacted with anyone for eight years.

21:42 IsambardPrince; Less likely.

21:42 IsambardPrince; :)

21:42 IsambardPrince; I want to know why they single out poles.

21:43 IsambardPrince; I mean, why not Germans, or French people.

21:43 IsambardPrince; Why just the poles?

21:44 IsambardPrince; " In documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Administration, Waymo described the issue is as an [i]nsufficient ability to avoid pole or pole-like permanent objects within the drivable surface [which] may result in an increased risk of a collision. "

21:44 IsambardPrince; So basically all this tech and the car has the driving abilities of my mother?

21:45 IsambardPrince; Backing up over curbs.

21:45 IsambardPrince; Taking off dragging the muffler everywhere for three days until the car shop can get it in to weld it.

21:45 IsambardPrince; Because "I had to go to church and to get MOAR WATER from Walmart."

21:46 IsambardPrince; MinceR: ^

21:47 IsambardPrince; I told her about microplastics.

21:48 IsambardPrince; She played me off and acted like it's no big deal.

21:48 IsambardPrince; I said, "Well, your liver, lungs, bladder, heart, and kidneys I guess."

21:49 IsambardPrince; MARISOL is one of these people. Can't drink water from the tap so she gets the microplastics in her blood and internal organs instead from bottled crap.

21:49 IsambardPrince; They just bottle someone else's tap water and it leeches microplastics and petrochemicals.

21:49 IsambardPrince; "Ice Mountain....so crisp....so refreshing."

21:53 IsambardPrince; schestowitz-pi2: I'm not sure Outreachy is specifically damaging to Free Software.

21:54 IsambardPrince; They dole out money, I think a lot of it is IBM money, to people who appear to string them along and not do much and just get like, ~$7,000 grants.

21:54 IsambardPrince; So basically what you have to do is write up this whole piece about how you're marginalized in some way, then ask for a grant, and then do the bare minimum to shuffle around and keep the grant money coming.

21:55 IsambardPrince; Gay people are literally as persecuted, historically, as persecuted as the Jews, maybe even worse.

21:56 IsambardPrince; When the Holocaust camps were liberated by the Soviets, US, UK, French, and Germany partitioned, the Allies did not re-arrest the Jews and send them to prison, or just keep them in the Holocaust camp and re-name the camp.

21:56 IsambardPrince; Gay people got that treatment.

21:56 IsambardPrince; Many of them had to stay in the concentration camps for years under a new name.

21:57 IsambardPrince; Along with everyone else Stalin didn't want. The people who suffer greatly under Communism tend to be, ironically, the ones who would be best positioned to help the society in some way, were they simply freed and assigned a function.

21:57 IsambardPrince; This is why every Communist country has a brain drain.

21:58 IsambardPrince; They make life so terrible for educated people, who don't want to be there, that they will flee, even if the odds of being shot in the back for trying to escape are 50% or more.

21:58 *eidolon has quit (Quit: )

21:59 IsambardPrince; In theory, I'd support Communism or Socialism, if it in fact led to something better. But every country with a Communist or Socialist uprising just affirms that "When you overthrow the government, you usually get something as bad or worse." because nature abhors a vacuum.

21:59 IsambardPrince; And victory will go to the people who aren't particular about how they obtain power over the governed.

21:59 MinceR; IsambardPrince: lol

22:00 MinceR; i mean, the waymo vehicles

22:00 IsambardPrince; And all they had to do was weld it back up.

22:00 MinceR; afaik they're BEV-s

22:00 IsambardPrince; Oh, the 2003 Impala I meant.

22:00 IsambardPrince; They said that was the worst model year for the Impala, ever.

22:00 IsambardPrince; And this car has over 300,000 miles on it.

22:00 IsambardPrince; And it still runs fine and doesn't consume any oil.

22:01 IsambardPrince; The insanity is the book value is maybe $400-500 at this point.

22:01 IsambardPrince; But....you could jump in it and drive across the country and be pretty sure it would make it.

22:02 IsambardPrince; [16:00] <MinceR> afaik they're BEV-s

22:02 IsambardPrince; Yeah, CARB.

22:02 IsambardPrince; The most infamous "engineering by politicians who have no background in it" example in America.

22:03 IsambardPrince; Engineering by politicians never works right, but at least when the Communists did it they WANTED a car that was simple and did its job.

22:03 IsambardPrince; I'd rather drive a Trabant than a Tesla.

22:04 IsambardPrince; The Trabant was an East German car. Apparently, when the wall came down people just walked off and abandoned them.

22:04 IsambardPrince; However....

22:04 IsambardPrince; The car did at least work.

22:05 IsambardPrince; Today we have people paying $70,000-$100,000 USD for a Tesla that starts malfunctioning and rusting and losing pieces as soon as you drive it off the lot.

22:06 IsambardPrince; Elon Musk is behind a car brand that is impossibly expensive to actually own, nearly impossible to service, and is out of commission so much it serves practically no use. Something that only ever costs money and acts as a vanity product.

22:06 IsambardPrince; The Trabant was shit, built around a motorcycle-type engine, but at least they worked and were cheap.

22:18 IsambardPrince; > None of the ads at the movie theater show you what being pinned down by enemy fire with your friend bleeding out all over you looks like.

22:18 IsambardPrince; > None of the ads shows what happens to you if you live through that, get back to the US, and end up with PTSD, or hobbling around on an artificial leg or something.

22:19 IsambardPrince; I didn't like Showgirls at all.

22:20 IsambardPrince; The movie didn't really have a plot. It was basically an exercise in how much smut they could possibly get into a movie theater in 1995.

22:20 IsambardPrince; No, I'm not against nudity in a movie, or anything like that. It's just that I felt there should be some kind of plot or storyline.

22:21 IsambardPrince; A lot of the sex and nudity that ended up in US movies was just sort of thrown in carelessly so they could say the movie was R or NC-17 and attract people with controversy.

22:22 IsambardPrince; Blockbuster edited out the part of Bad Lieutenant where he was jerking off in front of the (implied) 16 or 17 year old girls he pulled over.

22:22 IsambardPrince; But the scene actually meant something to the movie.

22:22 IsambardPrince; The guy was irredeemable. There was nothing good about him. He wasn't even an anti-hero.

22:23 *jacobk (~quassel@haujs6zcuukhy.irc) has joined #techrights

22:23 IsambardPrince; He was just a dirty cop badly addicted to drugs, having an emotional breakdown, deeply in debt to the mafia (sports betting), and then he pulls over some girls and masturbates in front of them while making them do lewd things.

22:23 IsambardPrince; His vices will all get him killed at some point.

22:24 IsambardPrince; In the end, the mafia gets him first.

22:24 IsambardPrince; After he finds the guys that raped the nun and gives them $30,000 and a bus ticket out of New York, because the nun has internalized the abuse and refuses to do anything about it.

22:25 IsambardPrince; The movie isn't just about the dirty cop, it was about a failing society that produced him, allowed him to continue, and was rotting all around him.

22:28 IsambardPrince; The society depicted in this movie was showing New York City in 1992.

22:28 IsambardPrince; But it's spread all over the country and has become an accepted fact of life now.

22:29 IsambardPrince; I would say that the movie is more relevant now.

22:29 IsambardPrince; The big cities have always been trash, but it's spread outward.

22:30 IsambardPrince; The reason that movies like this don't tend to sit well with people is because they're already living in it, and so the movie is not an escape. Most people only want to go see Disney shit because there's psychiatrists that sit around and develop a formula of happy happy shit.

22:32 IsambardPrince; When we got to the scene where he pulls the girls over and jerks off in front of them, the way he was acting I figured the scene would have been a lot worse than that.

22:58 IsambardPrince; The politicians write laws to make sure your vote hardly matters. (Only three counties in the US ultimately determined the 2020 presidential election.)

22:59 IsambardPrince; Affirmative Action is racist.

22:59 IsambardPrince; Reversing Roe doesn't really affect me, and the number of abortions has been going up anyway despite Dobbs.

23:00 IsambardPrince; The Democrats would really love to appoint the Supreme Court, but that wouldn't mean it would work for us.

23:00 IsambardPrince; It just means we'd end up more like Canada, where the government disarms its citizens so it truly has nothing to fear when it fails to represent them.

23:01 IsambardPrince; We live in a country where some people have actually shot or shot at members of Congress. Fairly recently.

23:01 IsambardPrince; They do want to disarm the public so they have absolutely nothing to fear.

23:01 IsambardPrince; They've already made life pretty miserable, to the point where nobody was shooting at THEM until the last decade or so.

23:01 IsambardPrince; And now even the Republicans pass gun control laws.

23:03 IsambardPrince; If you track "failing country" by "When did people start shooting at the politicians, in earnest." then it would have been Gabby Giffords and the Republicans at the baseball game and a couple of others.

23:03 IsambardPrince; All within the last 10 years or so.

23:04 IsambardPrince; Instead of fixing the problem so nobody wants to shoot them, they immediately go to work beefing up security around themselves and passing disarmament laws.

23:11 IsambardPrince; It eventually ends with them agreeing to spend more money on everything than they would have had there been no debt ceiling.

23:14 IsambardPrince; Dobbs didn't really do much in the way of preventing abortion.

23:15 IsambardPrince; All you have to do is pull out your phone and have a virtual visit with a doctor in another state, or drive a little, or get a $29 bus ticket, or ask some place outside the US to mail you an abortion pill.

23:15 IsambardPrince; Most of the people the Supreme Court/Republicans targeted with Dobbs live in major cities.

23:15 IsambardPrince; Most major cities have a bus terminal, and something like Megabus.

23:16 IsambardPrince; Megabus is cheap and goes between other major cities, and it attracts mostly minorities who don't have a lot of money for travel.

23:16 IsambardPrince; Sadly, bus travel is not what it was 20 years ago.

23:17 IsambardPrince; I used to go all over the place on Greyhound. It was not that expensive. Less than buying gas. Sometimes you had to wait in a terminal for a while. It was better than flying because I don't agree to go through TSA.

23:18 IsambardPrince; https://wgntv.com/news/national/military-recruitment-shortfall-should-us-bring-back-the-draft/

23:18 TR Bot; Amid military recruitment shortfall, could the draft be an answer?

23:18 IsambardPrince; 23% of Americans 17 to 24 are physically and mentally fit for military service.

23:18 IsambardPrince; 54% of the American public has a negative view of the military.

23:18 IsambardPrince; This week, the House passed a bill automatically registering men for the draft.

23:19 IsambardPrince; Officials at the Department of Defense say recruiting challenges are complex and multi-faceted.

23:19 IsambardPrince; ChatGPT tends to use "complex and multi-faceted" a lot when it has something it can't explain.

23:20 IsambardPrince; "Recruitment is particularly challenging for Generation Z, people born between 1997 and 2012. Videos discouraging joining the military have been swirling on TikTok."

23:20 IsambardPrince; LOL

23:21 IsambardPrince; Go ahead, take day off! -Xi

23:22 IsambardPrince; "Former President Donald Trump shot down the ridiculous idea that he could push for mandatory military service if he wins reelection this year and slammed a Washington Post article on the issue as an effort to damage him with voters."

23:23 IsambardPrince; You know, with Biden in office stirring the shit with Russia and in the Middle East, a draft is much more likely under Biden.

23:23 IsambardPrince; Leaving Europe to deal with Putin, if they are able to, is the best solution.

23:23 IsambardPrince; If they can't resist him because they've grown too fat and lazy, living on welfare, than they deserve to be colonized.

23:25 IsambardPrince; "Most nations in the world have some form of military. However, the methods used to fill the ranks of those armed forces vary from one country to the next."

23:25 IsambardPrince; Technically, the Catholic Church has a military, just not a large one.

23:27 IsambardPrince; MinceR: Don't you miss when we didn't have air quality action days, and people drank hose water and ate at Taco Bell, and our life expectancy was 4 years higher than it is now? Well, you're not an American of course, but.....

23:27 IsambardPrince; I would still like to invite you to join me for dinner, at Taco Bell.

23:27 IsambardPrince; Does Orbanistan even have Taco Bell?

23:28 IsambardPrince; There was this other one when I was a kid, called Taco Grande.

23:28 IsambardPrince; I don't ever see those anymore.

23:29 IsambardPrince; Maybe they went out of business.

23:30 IsambardPrince; The restaurant business is very cyclical and exposed to fluctuations in the economy.

23:30 IsambardPrince; It's dangerous to franchise, which is why McDonald's Corporation is 90% franchise-owned.

23:30 IsambardPrince; It's like this.

23:30 IsambardPrince; When you're the landlord, you don't care how many burgers and fries get sold.

23:31 IsambardPrince; Because they still have to pay the rent somehow.

23:42 MinceR; 17 002744 < IsambardPrince> Does Orbanistan even have Taco Bell?

23:42 MinceR; afaik there's no Taco Bell in europe

23:43 MinceR; which is why they replaced it with Pizza Hut in Demolition Man

23:43 MinceR; (but you could still see the Taco Bell logos on the windows of the restaurant)

23:45 IsambardPrince; That seems sort of clumsy.

23:45 IsambardPrince; you could probably grab the "copycat taco bell" recipes.

23:45 MinceR; :)

23:46 IsambardPrince; I made air fryer crunchwraps one day. It came out better than taco bell, unsurprisingly.

23:46 IsambardPrince; Their big thing is it's cheap, it's not terrible, and you get quite a bit of it.

23:46 IsambardPrince; It's stoner food.

23:46 IsambardPrince; MinceR: Stay away from the iced tea vat.

23:46 IsambardPrince; :P

23:47 IsambardPrince; They get this "iced tea in a bag" stuff that says Lipton on it.

23:47 IsambardPrince; I don't know why, but it tastes really gross. Probably just minimum wage workers leaving the bag in until it's empty.

23:48 IsambardPrince; I've seen hotels that do "coffee in a bag", like it's concentrated coffee and it mixes it with hot water when you press the button.

23:48 IsambardPrince; Some of those are decent.

23:51 IsambardPrince; MinceR: So right off the heels of "Nothing happens if you don't file your income taxes." is "Don't wear sunblock, because the sunblock causes cancer!" TikTok is great.

23:51 IsambardPrince; :P

23:53 IsambardPrince; I'm married to someone who gets shitty life advice from TikTok and then says "You know that person on TikTok says nothing happens if you don't file your taxes." to wit, "Yeah, for a bout 5-6 years until the IRS files them all at once, doesn't give you any of the credits or deductions you could have used, and sends you a bill with fines and interest."

23:53 IsambardPrince; Probably nothing happens...immediately.

23:54 IsambardPrince; They wait and hit you with it all at once, as soon as it's the worst outcome for you."

23:54 IsambardPrince; They're patient.

23:58 MinceR; tiktok is great for people who trust the communist party of china
