00:22 DaemonFC; Even lunch meat's gone up by at least a third.
00:22 TR News; "The job market in my sector, and for my skill set, is to my advantage. Especially now that so many companies offer remote work. I don't expect to be between jobs for long." gemini://warmedal.se/~bjorn/posts/2022-03-22-being-laid-off-starting-new-chapter.gmi

00:27 DaemonFC; I've switched to just picking up groceries on my way to get Mandy from work. Walmart's credit card gives you more "points" to shop online.
00:28 TR News; LOL, BT. Like some "online" 'banks' that simple FAIL (by design) to operate at certain times: "Sorry, but we are doing some maintenance on the site at the moment. It should be back, better than ever, in a short while."
00:36 DaemonFC; For some reason, they REALLY don't want people shopping in the store.

01:15 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, Apparently, Walmart's having a problem getting chicken now or something.
01:15 DaemonFC; I might swing by Jewel and buy some too before that coupon expires.
01:15 DaemonFC; If nothing else, I should be able to get about 30-40 pounds of chicken in there and frozen.
01:17 DaemonFC; You never know what the stores are going to have anymore.
01:17 DaemonFC; Either they can't get it in or nobody wants to apply for a job so it gets stocked.

01:33 DaemonFC; Walmart just canceled my entire order due to "unusual activity on your account.
01:33 DaemonFC; They get nasty with VPN users lately.

01:37 DaemonFC; I can't be the only one who has noticed all of these companies that are working together to make you miserable if you want to use a VPN.
01:38 DaemonFC; But this is weird because they've never canceled an order on me before.

08:00 matey; kingoffrance one of the worst things about laws (not necessarily the only thing) is their inability (or inadequacy) at dealing with exceptios
08:01 matey; of course some try to, fewer succeed in doing a good job
08:01 matey; a principle can do that, typically better than a law can
08:01 matey; people love to make broad sweeping rules as if doing this doesnt often make things even worse
08:02 matey; so a good principle from the start is not to have TOO MANY laws
08:02 matey; keep it manageable
08:02 matey; then it doesnt overwhelm the public
08:02 matey; the unix philosophy outside of unix
08:03 matey; but in science, when a law fails to account for an exception, you revise, make a law that covers the exception, or even throw it out entirely
08:03 kingoffrance; that was teh "maxim" system. the judges were supposed to refactor. they got accused of writing new code
08:03 kingoffrance; :) somewhere, someone, needs to refactor
08:03 matey; in law, when a law fails to account for an exception, people say "well, its the law" or they even make it broader, stronger and worse to "compensate"
08:04 matey; there was a democrat (i wasnt thrilling with yangs platform, but it certainly was interesting) proposing garbage collection for laws
08:05 matey; something like c++ gc afact, automatic sunsetting
08:05 matey; i like the idea, at least-- im not sure its a bad one

13:32 DaemonFC; I threw a bunch of chicken in the freezer. About 50 pounds of it.
13:33 DaemonFC; Barely made a dent in the amount of free space.
13:33 DaemonFC; They're getting ready to do something REALLY nasty. I can tell it.
13:33 DaemonFC; Walmart will let you buy most anything you want online right now, but they set a quantity limit of two packs of chicken per transaction.
13:35 DaemonFC; So I've been splitting up family packs of chicken. The news is blaming "bird flu" for why the stores aren't getting chicken like they used to.
13:35 DaemonFC; Mom was like "Oh, someone will sue if anyone dies over the bird flu.".
13:36 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techrights
13:36 DaemonFC; I was like, "Mom, there is no bird flu. They either don't have the birds and they had to make up some reason why or they don't want food prices to go down, so they slaughtered millions of birds and threw them away so the market would become tight and people would be willing to pay more.".
13:37 DaemonFC; schestowitz, That chest freezer may be a wise investment eventually if things get out of hand.
13:37 DaemonFC; There certainly won't be a meat shortage in this house for several months.
13:38 MinceR; as long as there are humans, there is no meat shortage
13:38 DaemonFC; Other people can maraud each other over lentils and whatever they can find.
13:39 DaemonFC; MinceR, I dislike vegans more than anyone else I've complained about.
13:39 DaemonFC; By a long shot.
13:39 DaemonFC; It's not that they're violent, it's that they're smug, and if there's anything I can't stand, it's smug people.
13:40 DaemonFC; "I only eat 100% vegan and I drive a hybrid. Look at me. I'm pretending I'm not a goddamned virus with legs! Laadeedah!"
13:41 DaemonFC; I'm stocking up on cat food too.
13:41 DaemonFC; What's in cat food? Chicken.
13:41 DaemonFC; If they don't have enough chicken for people, either the cat food will be the first thing to go or they'll raise prices sky high and nobody will be able to afford to have cats anymore.
13:42 DaemonFC; The rich are stealing everything from us that makes life worth living.
13:42 DaemonFC; Piece by piece, inch by inch.
13:42 DaemonFC; And my mother thinks "socialists" are the problem.
13:42 DaemonFC; There is a Socialist Party in the USA. They get about 90,000 presidential votes out of 120 million or so.
13:43 DaemonFC; So obviously they're running everything. What with two elected officials in the country.

15:49 DaemonFC; MinceR, The funny thing is I'm helping mom juggle bills and prepare to go on government assistance due to the Catholic church fucking over everyone at her job.
15:49 DaemonFC; Including her, after 20 years working for them.
15:49 DaemonFC; By funny, I mean ironic of course.
15:50 DaemonFC; She voted in a way that threatened the programs she may well come to rely on until she can sign up for Social Security and Medicare, which she also voted to destroy.
15:50 DaemonFC; THey're probably not going to fire her, at least not yet.
15:51 DaemonFC; But the budget is ruined because they had this idiot for an administrator there for a couple years.
15:51 MinceR; so she'll be reliant on "SOCIALISM"? oh no!
15:51 DaemonFC; Now they have to hire agency temps at one of their facilities because that person ran off all of the workers.
15:52 DaemonFC; MinceR, Rails against socialism. Check.
15:53 DaemonFC; Needs socialism.....check
15:53 DaemonFC; Says it's not socialism because they paid taxes for social programs....check and check
15:53 DaemonFC; That's pretty typical for Republicans.
15:54 DaemonFC; UK politics sounds a lot like US politics, honestly, they're just 20 years ahead of us in national disgrace.
15:54 DaemonFC; Lewis Black said once that the problem in America is the Republicans are standing around farting.....
15:54 DaemonFC; And the Democrats say "Oooooh, let us smell it!".
15:54 DaemonFC; That seems to be the relationship between the Tories and Labour.
15:54 MinceR; Ruby on Rails against Socialism?
15:55 DaemonFC; And why nobody bothers voting for Labour anymore and they lose another couple dozen seats in government every election.
15:55 DaemonFC; The Democrats were heading in that direction.
15:56 DaemonFC; Had the president been anyone but Donald Trump, Nancy Pelosi would have about 40 less House Democrats right now.
15:57 DaemonFC; I don't think anyone realizes how in the way of themselves the Republicans can manage to be.
15:57 DaemonFC; Like, if Trump comes back, that may be the only way Biden wins again.
15:57 DaemonFC; It was last time.
15:58 DaemonFC; There's already a repeat of them potentially throwing a perfectly winnable Senate seat in Missouri again this year, like they did in 2012 there and in Indiana.
15:59 DaemonFC; It seems like the Democrats gain a Senate majority every so often based on a deep red state being totally thrown away by Republicans that get in and have some sort of unforced scandal.

16:12 matey; labour really did stand for socialism, to a degree. not as an accusation from the right, but openly and as a principle they were held to by their own
16:13 matey; but again, not under blair. he was part of a shift to the right, and in that regard at least, there is some overlap with the us democratic party

17:14 matey; We got Trump, they got Johnson. <- there are global factors in this
17:14 matey; and yes, brexit
17:14 DaemonFC; So the balance has shifted from the UK to the EU anyway, which is exactly why they said they wanted to leave.
17:14 matey; So the balance has shifted from the UK to the EU anyway, which is exactly why they said they wanted to leave.
17:14 matey; ^ funny how that works out
17:15 matey; im anti-eu, but not necessarily for the same reasons as most of the uk
17:15 DaemonFC; At least exiting NAFTA would benefit the US more often than not. As in the workers here. The tax revenues.
17:15 matey; im anti-eu because it takes the worst aspects of the united nations and amplifies them
17:15 DaemonFC; NAFTA is so unbalanced that it's an absolute steal for Mexico and the US corporations that sent our jobs there.
17:15 activelow; latest: "Putin rejects Euro and USD; insisting Oil/Gas/Energy to be paid with Rubles."
17:15 DaemonFC; A total exit from NAFTA would make sense.
17:16 matey; specifically but not limited to, theyre fucking up the internet and any right humanity has to its own culture
17:16 DaemonFC; Brexit made no sense at all.
17:16 matey; A total exit from NAFTA would make sense. <- nafta and the eu serve the same cartels
17:16 matey; in theory theyre different, but the regulatory capture is similar
17:16 DaemonFC; Yes they do, but NAFTA is much worse.
17:16 click; the EU should invade the UK :>
17:16 matey; nafta should be worse, its closer to the states
17:16 matey; the EU should invade the UK <- it already does

17:17 matey; in the name of more even distribution
17:17 matey; thats like wolves writing a pact with the henhouse
17:17 DaemonFC; So you don't have freedom of movement and residence for the citizens, and you also don't have a single currency because the United States wants a monopoly on that and to force Mexico and Canada to keep their currencies pegged to the USD.
17:17 DaemonFC; The pegs are important.
17:17 matey; the United States wants a monopoly on that and to force Mexico and Canada to keep their currencies pegged to the USD. <- of course it does
17:18 DaemonFC; We need other countries to do the pegs so that if they do anything that damages us, there's fallout into their own economy.

17:22 matey; my guess is sams is making more money than walmart (per store at least)
17:22 DaemonFC; The reason Walmart+ is never going to work is that they don't want to run their own delivery service and so they limp by on DoorDash, which is spotty because nobody wants to pick up an order and drive it across the city for $5 when gas costs $4 a gallon.
17:22 DaemonFC; Different business model.

17:25 matey; Frozen patties <- burger king too, unless thats changed
17:25 DaemonFC; I don't quite know why, but it's different.
17:25 DaemonFC; Like, I make burgers from ground beef I bought and froze sometimes and it's always better than those ones you get in a cardboard box that have the same lean/fat ratio and say 100% beef.
17:26 matey; dove: 100% pure
