00:54 DaemonFC; It's impossible for heterosexuals to truly grasp how annoying it is for the pedophilia accusations to constantly come up.

00:54 schestowitz; that didn't make any money until years back

00:55 DaemonFC; "I'm a Jew." "Oh, so you're a MONEYCHANGER then? Off loansharking, I suppose. Family business, right?"
00:56 DaemonFC; That's the Jew version of what gay people have to tolerate.
00:56 DaemonFC; The closest it gets I think.
00:57 DaemonFC; The way it works is people perpetuate a stereotype that has no basis in reality, but it's the worst thing people would react to.
00:57 DaemonFC; Then they get it going, and it never ends.
00:58 DaemonFC; schestowitz I was talking to VIKINGFELTA about the Catholics and child abuse.
00:58 DaemonFC; And he says they let a lot of "gay perverts" in.
00:58 DaemonFC; Tesla gets most of its money from two places.
00:59 DaemonFC; 1. Direct subsidies from tax payers.
00:59 DaemonFC; 2. Subsidies passed along to people who buy a real car from some other company, wherein a fine is calculated based on the arbitrary definition of what constitutes a gas guzzler.
00:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0
01:00 DaemonFC; Without either one of those, the company would just go ahead and fail because Tesla is in the business of fraud and lemon socialism, not car sales.
01:01 DaemonFC; Lemon Socialism isn't hard to explain. It's where society has to suffer to prop up all the lemons. Bad banks, companies that shouldn't exist because they don't make a product people want to buy, etc.
01:01 DaemonFC; In Lemon Socialism, there's rarely a case where the government avoids racking up a huge public debt, despite not generously funding social programs for citizens in need.
01:02 DaemonFC; So this explains the US economy very well.
01:02 schestowitz; lEmon Musk
01:02 DaemonFC; The Democrats and Republicans got together and gave us an economy based on bailouts to zombie companies and it ends in disaster.
01:03 DaemonFC; It's zombie companies and "defense contractors".
01:03 DaemonFC; And it turns out that while we produced a bunch of munitions, they weren't the kind of stuff that we needed on hand to respond to what Russia actually ended up doing.
01:03 DaemonFC; Even the tanks that NATO handed to Ukraine aren't performing impressively.
01:04 DaemonFC; They're getting blown to hell by cheap Russian mines. A third of them are gone already and the rest can't go anywhere.
01:05 DaemonFC; The heavy stuff we built in anticipation of "Russian tanks coming through Europe" actually aren't helping them a lot. If anything, the Russians will tow some of it off and figure out how it works, and hand some to China and laugh at us.
01:06 DaemonFC; The defensive stuff was performing a lot better because there wasn't anythign truly top secret that was a huge liability were it to be captured, and it inflicted a hell of a lot of damage for what it cost us.

01:07 DaemonFC; The Russians already have anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons that are similar in capability to what we gave Ukraine initially, and the Chinese do too.
01:08 DaemonFC; As far as fighter jets, we'd have to give them something new enough to be a threat to the Russians, and old enough that it's not anything they don't know about.
01:09 DaemonFC; The war in Yugoslavia where the F-117 Nighthawk was shot down was a major blunder, that incident was, at the time.
01:09 DaemonFC; You don't want to field your latest and greatest just to see it shot down by some Russian missile and given to the Chinese or something.

01:10 schestowitz; more slaes as long as i lingers on, in stalemate
01:10 DaemonFC; There were other ways to degrade the enemy in that war.
01:10 DaemonFC; I think Bill Clinton probably fielded the F-117 and told them how to shoot it down.
01:10 DaemonFC; We know the Chinese laundered a lot of money into his Presidential campaigns.

01:20 DaemonFC; You know, the ANC has ruined the economic progress in South Africa.
01:20 DaemonFC; They're back to digging pit toilets and dealing with rolling blackouts and an AIDS crisis.
01:20 DaemonFC; They've shown that they can't run the country properly, on any front.
01:21 DaemonFC; schestowitz "In Western countries people are hard-working, conservative, intelligent, and we have limited our population growth while creating wealth through hard work and intelligent social systems. The 'transition" was a combination of four things: sanitation, food preservation, science including medical, and family size control." -Felta
01:21 DaemonFC; Felta sez.
01:22 DaemonFC; " Western countries are wealthier, but people did not just walk there and pick it up off the ground. We CREATED it."
01:22 DaemonFC; "The impoverished areas are places where people have chosen not to make the transition and they have not created a good cultural system that creates wealth. It was and is a choice, though they have dug themselves in awfully deep now.
01:22 DaemonFC; Where Western countries are to blame it is because we have shared food and medical resources enough to offset plague and starvation that had traditionally reduced the population in non-western places, while they have by their own choice not changed any of the things that made things bad there. They did not control family size, mostly. They chose. They did.
01:22 DaemonFC; The difference is that "we" have created a better place to be, and "they" - as a group - have elected to be lazier and have lots of kids. It really is just that. It is the truth, and you can act like it isn't but that will never fix anything. The best of "them" get up and leave to a Western country to where the culture lets them create wealth, and some of the worst of them emigrate to where...
01:22 DaemonFC; ...they can steal and be a burden. The larger group stays as is."
01:23 DaemonFC; Not all of this is wrong, but I would say that some of it is.
01:23 DaemonFC; The whole reason anyone is dying of AIDS, quite simply, are drug patents.
01:23 DaemonFC; It's cheaper to make AIDS pills than it is to make a bag of discount potato chips.
01:23 DaemonFC; But the AIDS medicine costs $4,000 a month because of patents.
01:24 DaemonFC; The program the US government runs simply shifts the problem to the public coffers.
01:24 DaemonFC; The pharmaceutical industry would have to lower prices if the government didn't obligate itself to pay and then set up the conditions under which only one company can make drugs that public tax dollars were poured into researching.
01:25 DaemonFC; Right now, there are combination AIDS drugs that doctors simply don't prescribe anymore, because they're crooks and they're "in on it".
01:25 DaemonFC; For example, Atripla would still work in most patients and costs $87 a month with GoodRX.
01:26 DaemonFC; There's basically nothing to call a system that allows drug companies to shower doctors with bribes and then expects them to pitch their latest product than corrupt to the point it's a crime against humanity.
01:27 DaemonFC; If the government is going to put public money towards dealing with the AIDS crisis it should put some into investigating doctors and sending them to prison for looting the public purse.
01:31 DaemonFC; schestowitz So I just staged our meal at McDonalds so I could sit there and keep using app coupons.
01:31 DaemonFC; Eat some food, wait out the 15 minutes, another coupon.

02:09 DaemonFC; EVs are causing blackouts, but you can totally void your warranty and run the fridge on them.
02:09 DaemonFC; During the blackout that they caused.
02:11 schestowitz; EVs are a hog on the grid
02:11 schestowitz; and since they cannot use gasoline
02:11 schestowitz; and you cannot hoard much electricity
02:11 schestowitz; imagine what will happen during energy crises
02:11 schestowitz; anyway, there's growing concsensus around EVs not solving the climate issues

02:15 DaemonFC; I suppose that huge breaking changes are unavoidable. It would probably be worse than running Fedora.
02:15 DaemonFC; No warning, here's a new glibc, watch out.
02:16 DaemonFC; Huge ABI changes that break a lot of things for no reason and shit GNU branding everywhere.
02:16 DaemonFC; Those are becoming more common, and this quite frankly does help scare people into buying RHEL.

02:29 DaemonFC; schestowitz From a post I'm writing:
02:29 DaemonFC; "One thing that disturbs me that's coming up in Fedora was a discussion on IRC last night about a proposed "feature" that gathers more information about users, that will be on by default and set to land in Fedora 40.
02:29 DaemonFC; These "reports" along with crash reporting, and GNOME Telemetry, should be turned off and/or uninstalled by the user. Together, they actually are reporting more and more information about the user, which is ironically one of the reasons why we normally tell people to get rid of Windows.
02:29 DaemonFC; Even in 2010, the US NSA was cracking jokes about Windows sending error reports, and it did them without even encrypting them, so the NSA would just intercept the report and gather what vulnerabilities were likely to exist in the computer they were targeting.
02:29 DaemonFC; A crash dump could contain basically anything that was in your computer's memory when an error happened and they are truly impossible to actually anonymize.
02:29 DaemonFC; With the rest of the "telemetry", you just basically have to read their privacy policy and then trust they'll do what they say, and even what they admit they do is usually too bad to agree to. For example, Windows not only sends Telemetry to Microsoft, but 450+ "partners" and Microsoft, were it even trustworthy (LOL), can't control "partners".
02:29 DaemonFC; It's just very disheartening to see so much software, like Firefox, and Fedora, "spying" on the users, and in Firefox making this connection directly to adware servers and US government contractors (like CloudFlare), just to make a quick buck, or because they don't see the user as anything other than an ant to be stepped on."

02:36 mjg59_; (Answer: no, because the proposed change does nothing to enable automatic crash reporting)
02:36 DaemonFC; mjg59_: I was pointing out that there's already too much data collection that's on by default and now they want even more.
02:37 DaemonFC; It's turning into a "good luck digging it all out" like Windows or Firefox
02:37 mjg59_; Yes, and it's designed to ensure that the data collected isn't ascribable to a user
02:37 DaemonFC; How do you sanitize a crash dump?
02:37 mjg59_; You don't, which is why they're not automatically reported
02:37 DaemonFC; I sanitized them by setting the storage limit to zero and uninstalling ABRT.
02:38 mjg59_; abrt shows you what's going to be reported and you decide whether or not to do so
02:38 DaemonFC; Nothing like systemd being so badly designed that it just shits coredumps into your system logs.

03:42 DaemonFC; mjg59_: Do you suppose the vaccine did nothing, made it worse, or that I would have died without it?
03:42 DaemonFC; It's impossible to know that, so Pfizer will just bury the data.
03:42 mjg59_; Both because there's a range of viruses that cause the syndrome, but also because the immune system doesn't generate a long-term response to it
03:42 DaemonFC; Keep charging $130 a shot to idiots who take more.
03:43 schestowitz; DaemonFC: there were studies into it

03:43 mjg59_; We can't magically change the behaviour of the immune system

03:44 DaemonFC; For a while there I was probably the most tested person I know of because the Cook County Health Department was paying me to take the tests.

04:26 schestowitz; which happened
04:27 DaemonFC; I mean, that's architecture for the people. You know, it caught on in the UK and the US for a while, but it was really popular in Communist countries, where one of the things they did get right was plenty of no frills housing for people in buildings that were built to last and be low burden.
04:28 DaemonFC; It caught on in all of the wrong ways in the US.
04:28 DaemonFC; They mainly used it for shopping malls and stuff which are still there, but no stores.
04:29 DaemonFC; It became associated with the middle class, which hardly exists in the US anymore thanks to years and years of the Democrats and Republicans giving it their all.

04:54 DaemonFC; Or spying on them (Google).
04:55 mjg59_; Inventing spreadsheets put lots of people out of jobs
04:55 mjg59_; What's the right boundary here?
04:55 DaemonFC; People who make spreadsheets really don't contribute a lot.
04:55 mjg59_; Any time we invent something that makes it easier to do something, it reduces the number of people you need to do something
04:55 DaemonFC; But people who make "Powerpoint slides" and view them are even worse.
04:56 mjg59_; Yeah but I spend most of my time writing code
04:56 mjg59_; Whole bunch of Python today to deal with Yocto being a dick
04:56 DaemonFC; Hey, people who invented the nuclear weapons that murdered people in Japan "had a job" in much the same way you do.
04:56 mjg59_; Well yes I guess they did put a bunch of bomber pilots out of work
04:57 DaemonFC; Handing the product off to a despotic genocidal regime.
04:57 mjg59_; You're making your point ineffectually
04:57 mjg59_; Am I putting people out of work, or am I murdering people?
04:57 DaemonFC; You couldn't really destroy the whole world effectively with B-52s full of dumb bombs.
04:57 mjg59_; Your effortless pivots between points of criticism are impressive
04:58 DaemonFC; Most of which went off course and landed somewhere where they didn't even blow up anything important.
04:58 mjg59_; Yeah not really going to destroy the world with autonomous trucks either
04:58 mjg59_; They're still just trucks
04:58 DaemonFC; The bombs dropped with TNT just fell and blew up.
04:58 DaemonFC; Not much more than that.
04:58 DaemonFC; They fell somewhere and exploded. Usually exploded.
04:58 mjg59_; Well, no, they frequently didn't blow up
04:59 mjg59_; And instead killed people decades later
04:59 DaemonFC; You could aim in a general that way direction.
04:59 mjg59_; Or caused huge disruption
04:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0
04:59 mjg59_; And aiming in a general "that way" direction also resulted in a shitload of civilian deaths
04:59 DaemonFC; But I think during the entire war there was less explosive force dropped like this than in two A-bombs.
04:59 mjg59_; The Tokyo fire bombing killed more people than Hiroshima
04:59 DaemonFC; It was kind of a bad choice to build out of wood.
04:59 DaemonFC; See; Chicago.
05:00 DaemonFC; I have joked about the Chicago fire a few times with John.
05:00 mjg59_; I guess what you're saying here is that architects who chose wood are as bad as FDR
05:00 DaemonFC; Like "Maybe they should have swept the leaves." a reference to Trump and the California fires.
05:00 DaemonFC; Or "If they hadn't used so much goddamned lacquer!"
05:00 mjg59_; You're fundamentally incapable of making a point
05:00 DaemonFC; A reference to Meet the Parents.
05:01 mjg59_; It really is an art
05:01 DaemonFC; The Chicago fire is funnier than what happened to Japan.
05:01 DaemonFC; In part because nobody did it maliciously, with hatred for an entire race that they wanted to murder.
05:02 DaemonFC; The atomic bombs on Japan were done out of race hatred.
05:02 DaemonFC; Americans saw the Japanese as vermin.
05:02 mjg59_; See, you went from saying I was bad for doing what I do, to instead talking about the Chicago fire, with zero explanation
05:02 DaemonFC; Government-backed propaganda helped a lot with that.
05:02 DaemonFC; And they wanted to kill every last one of them, for realsies.
05:02 mjg59_; The obvious conclusion is that you can't actually substantiate the argument that I'm bad
05:02 DaemonFC; And that is an unforgivable crime.
05:02 DaemonFC; Like the Holocaust.
05:02 mjg59_; But rather than admit that, you'll start talking about something else
05:02 DaemonFC; So you don't joke about it.
05:03 DaemonFC; Well, you see Matt....
05:03 DaemonFC; What happened with RCA/Thomson is that a lot of good people lost middle class jobs.
05:03 DaemonFC; And that spilled over and caused the failure of an entire city. And things like it added up and destroyed a state, and then the Midwest, and then the entire country.
05:04 DaemonFC; And it all could have been prevented by stopping Globalist politicians.
05:04 mjg59_; The country whose GDP is massively higher than it was in the 70s
05:04 DaemonFC; And people who want to put others out of work in return for their own paycheck, like you.
05:04 DaemonFC; mjg59_The country whose GDP is massively higher than it was in the 70s
05:04 DaemonFC; I don't personally know anyone who benefits from the Alleged Higher GDP.
05:04 mjg59_; There's plenty of money
05:04 mjg59_; The problem is that it's unevenly distributed
05:05 DaemonFC; Things now are a fair bit worse than they were in the 90s for most people.
05:05 DaemonFC; Even if bullshit like GDP has even doubled, it does not matter for most.
05:05 mjg59_; Industry didn't die, it just had its output redirected
05:05 DaemonFC; Most of the public is backsliding in terms of living standard.
05:05 DaemonFC; And I don't disagree with the fact that the people doing it should all die and have it taken from them.
05:05 mjg59_; I agree! That's not because of economic collapse, it's because the rich are getting even fucking richer
05:06 mjg59_; The US could have the living standards it did in the 70s and all it would take is economic redistribution
05:06 DaemonFC; Had I been of voting age in the 90s, I probably would have supported Ross Perot.
05:06 DaemonFC; I mean, looking back.
05:07 DaemonFC; He was the only candidate that warned about what NAFTA really was, and what it would do.
05:07 *Despatche has quit (Quit: Read error: Connection reset by deer)
05:07 DaemonFC; mjg59_: I don't know of anyone my age that lives half as well as my parents did.
05:07 DaemonFC; It's just stolen dreams and minimum wage jobs and "side hustles".
05:08 DaemonFC; Like delivering you cold, cold pizza.
05:08 mjg59_; Could you explain the pizza thing in more detail
05:08 mjg59_; Because I feel like we've talked about this
05:08 mjg59_; But you keep bringing it up
05:08 DaemonFC; Well, you did. You said it was an hour or so after you ordered it, I think.
05:08 DaemonFC; And that it was cold.
05:08 DaemonFC; And that you wondered how that could happen.
05:08 mjg59_; Indeed! The driver picked it up immediately, and then drove to the other side of the city
05:09 mjg59_; What percentage should I have tipped to avoid that
05:09 DaemonFC; Someone on a video app, if I remember correctly, said they did Doordash and if they don't get paid enough then your food sits there until the base pay gets high enough they feel it's worth it.
05:09 DaemonFC; Then you get your cold food.
05:09 DaemonFC; And that's base pay plus tip.
05:09 mjg59_; So, that's not what happened, because it got picked up immediately
05:09 DaemonFC; So if they didn't think the total amount was worth it, it sits there until it is, then it's cold.
05:09 mjg59_; It did not sit there
05:10 mjg59_; So, what's your explanation?
05:10 DaemonFC; If they drove it to the other side of the city then they were zigging and zagging, possibly they picked it up, then GrubHub had some HUGE tipper they didn't want to MISS OUT on, so they GET IT, and then you get your pizza second.
05:11 mjg59_; Ok so what should I have tipped to avoid that
05:11 mjg59_; I want a number
05:11 DaemonFC; I don't know. I pick up food myself usually. I arrange it so it's efficient to drop by and get my piping hot almost burns your hands, cheese melting off the damn thing hot, pizza. Hot.
05:12 mjg59_; That'd be great, but there's nowhere within walking distance that does gluten free pizza at 10PM
05:12 DaemonFC; With gas being like $8 a gallon by now in CALIFORNIA probably, then you tell me professor.
05:12 DaemonFC; Seems your politicians are destroying the economy and people are fleeing the state to get anywhere they can go that isn't as bad, having learned nothing.
05:12 mjg59_; Gas is not $8 a gallon
05:13 mjg59_; You're saying I didn't tip enough
05:13 DaemonFC; People in other states hate people from California because you're all so very fucking stupid
05:13 mjg59_; What percentage should it have been
05:13 mjg59_; Answer the fucking question
05:13 DaemonFC; You can't run your own state so you have to come fuck up ours.
05:13 mjg59_; Dude I haven't visited illionois since 2018
05:13 mjg59_; Your problems are not due to me
05:13 DaemonFC; Oh, there was someone a while back that said they were coming to Illinois from California.
05:13 DaemonFC; They wanted to know which part of Illinois they should be going to.
05:14 DaemonFC; I said back the way you came.
05:14 mjg59_; Cool now answer the fucking question
05:14 DaemonFC; This state has enough problems and we don't need any California transplants fucking it up worse. Giving us more crank politicians with funny ideas.
05:14 mjg59_; Or admit that you're talking shit
05:15 DaemonFC; Well, I'm not certain there's a big enough answer, honestly.
05:15 DaemonFC; The cost of living in San Francisco is so horrible people who work for Apple are living in a garage with a compost bucket for a toilet.
05:15 DaemonFC; So what do you think a tip would be that compels a service worker?
05:16 mjg59_; I tipped 30%
05:16 DaemonFC; Of....
05:16 DaemonFC; What does a pizza even cost there anyway?
05:16 mjg59_; Total tip was $11.50, based on the receipt
05:16 DaemonFC; And I knew a guy who made $26 an hour stocking a grocery store there in 2004.
05:16 mjg59_; 12 minute drive from there to here
05:17 DaemonFC; So are you telling me that this $11.50 after another two decades of inflation works out to an acceptable amount, considering $8 California gasoline that comes out of a unicorn's butt?
05:17 DaemonFC; And the prevailing wage, of course.
05:17 mjg59_; (1) gas isn't $8, (2) if you're using a gallon of gas to drive 2.5 miles, your car is fucked
05:18 DaemonFC; Yeah I know. Mine wasn't even that bad before I had it carbon cleaned.
05:18 DaemonFC; It was running rough and stalling out but it was still averaging 15.4 in the city.
05:19 mjg59_; Minimum wage + $1 a minute of driving doesn't sound too bad?
05:19 DaemonFC; I don't know where that lady was gassing up but she got some carbon deposits.
05:19 mjg59_; I mean
05:19 DaemonFC; You don't make minimum wage on Doordash do you? Didn't the voters defeat that to reimplement slavery in California?

05:20 DaemonFC; Eat the rich! And his pizza!
05:20 DaemonFC; :)
05:20 mjg59_; There's some fuckery, but it's required to work out at about that level for the actual time spent working, which is somewhat obscene but fucking capitalism
05:21 DaemonFC; It should either work out to minimum wage or they should have to pay you at least minimum wage.
05:21 DaemonFC; End of story.
05:21 mjg59_; I agree!
05:21 mjg59_; I voted in favour of that
05:21 DaemonFC; That's how the law works for most tipped employees in Illinois even.
05:21 DaemonFC; They have to pay you $15 an hour if you're a tipped worker and don't make at least $15 an hour that week with your tips included.
05:22 DaemonFC; Otherwise I think it's $9.68 plus tips.
05:22 mjg59_; California is minimum wage + tips
05:22 mjg59_; You can't pay under minimum wage and make it up with tips
05:22 DaemonFC; So you either get $15 an hour as a floor like anyone else, from the employer, or if you go over $15 counting tips, $9.68 from the employer plus all your tips.
05:22 mjg59_; So you're a minimum of $15.50 and all tips go to you in addition to that
05:22 DaemonFC; In Indiana it's $2.14 plus tips or $7.25.
05:23 mjg59_; Which is civilised!
05:23 DaemonFC; It's horrid.
05:23 mjg59_; It's civilised that tips can't make up minimum wage
05:23 mjg59_; It's fucked that they can
05:23 mjg59_; California is civilised in this respect
05:23 DaemonFC; They just don't extend that to app workers.
05:23 DaemonFC; Because democracy brings out the worst in people.
05:24 DaemonFC; You banned gay marriage there too.
05:24 DaemonFC; Democracy.
05:24 mjg59_; Because they're classed as contractors, not employees
05:24 mjg59_; Which is fucked!
05:24 mjg59_; Which I voted against!
05:24 DaemonFC; Right, so the solution is less Democracy.
05:24 DaemonFC; Your legislature fixed both problems and the voters directly fucked shit up again.
05:24 mjg59_; Direct democracy is not a great plan, I agree
05:24 mjg59_; So, how much should I have tipped
05:25 DaemonFC; Well, I'm not an economist, but if I worked on an app-based delivery platform I'd probably figure cost of gas and minimum wage. Divide it roughly by mileage and expected time of work.
05:26 DaemonFC; So there is a minimum amount here. Let's say my Buick averages 18.5 in the city. I got it cleaned, remember.
05:26 DaemonFC; Gas is about $4 a gallon.
05:26 mjg59_; Ok, so about $1 of gas, and about 20 minutes of work, so $5.17, and that makes $6.17
05:26 DaemonFC; Guy 5 miles from me wants a pizza.
05:26 mjg59_; 2.5 miles
05:26 DaemonFC; Call it a third of a gallon because idling.
05:26 mjg59_; So call it a quarter
05:26 DaemonFC; Minimum wage is $15 an hour here.
05:27 mjg59_; $15.50, so $5.17
05:27 DaemonFC; If it takes me 14 minutes to get 5 miles here (which it does), then that is easily rounded to a quarter of an hour.
05:27 mjg59_; I gave it 20 minutes to include waiting time
05:28 mjg59_; That gives us a total of $6.17
05:28 DaemonFC; So that's $5.08, but then what about wear and tear and mileage, and depreciation?
05:28 DaemonFC; What about the cost to tell my insurance company I deliver food or give people rides?
05:28 DaemonFC; What about incidentals?
05:29 mjg59_; Let's add an extra 50% for that, so $9.25
05:29 DaemonFC; So we're probably at $8-9 now just before you start to make me a little teeny bit interested, and this is Illinois.
05:29 DaemonFC; Insurance and gas and minimum wage where you are is a lot higher.
05:29 mjg59_; And bear in mind that Doordash does pay a minimum amount in addition to the tip
05:29 DaemonFC; But someone who isn't into economics throws me a $20 because he's the nicest man ever.
05:29 mjg59_; Gas is about $4, minimum wage is $15.50
05:30 DaemonFC; But uh oh, I just picked up your Grimace's Birthday Meal from McDonalds already in the other app.
05:30 mjg59_; Ok your argument is no longer that I didn't tip enough, but that someone else tipped more
05:30 DaemonFC; So I drive to his house first to get the base plus the crisp $20.
05:30 DaemonFC; Then you get a melted Grimace frosty.
05:30 DaemonFC; And presumably you grimace.
05:31 DaemonFC; Because nobody is happy to see a melted purple thing that they're supposed to consume.
05:31 DaemonFC; It's even worse than a cold pizza.
05:32 mjg59_; I made it clear at the time that I understand the economic incentives that resulted in me having a bad outcome
05:32 mjg59_; Everyone involved should charge me more money so the drivers do not feel obliged to do that
05:32 DaemonFC; There are a number of plausible things that could have resulted in your experience.
05:32 DaemonFC; Maybe the guy was a bag of dicks and had Grindr open in the other window. He had your pizza sitting out in the car while he went over to fuck a guy in the ass with no condom.
05:32 DaemonFC; And then handled your cold pizza.
05:33 mjg59_; How much would I have to tip to avoid that
05:33 DaemonFC; More than the non-monetary value of his life experience while your pizza was losing heat rapidly to the atmosphere.
05:33 DaemonFC; :D
05:34 DaemonFC; There is an economic value people place on sex otherwise there wouldn't be prostitution.
05:34 DaemonFC; So maybe there's no easy answer or it would have gone to an unrealistic amount, like $100.
05:35 DaemonFC; Economists have to assign numbers to some really weird shit.
05:35 DaemonFC; Like how much is losing your hand worth.
05:35 mjg59_; Hey it sounds like you agree that this may not have been down to me tipping an unreasonably small amount!
05:35 mjg59_; But that other factors may have resulted in the driver making a rational decision to do something else instead!
05:35 DaemonFC; The simplest answer was that there was a priority with a higher dollar value.
05:36 mjg59_; Sure, and maybe that was the guy being paid to fuck someone?
05:36 mjg59_; Who knows
05:36 mjg59_; I have no reason to believe that
05:36 DaemonFC; People will do some stupid or illogical things, including with money.
05:36 mjg59_; It sounds like you're saying I should have tipped $200 if I wanted a hot pizza
05:36 DaemonFC; That's sort of why the economy doesn't totally freeze up.
05:37 mjg59_; But maybe it should have been more than that
05:37 DaemonFC; mjg59_: Well, you know the banking system might have collapsed entirely in 2008 if it wasn't for all the drug money.
05:38 DaemonFC; When they're not opening fake accounts, they're laundering money for terrorists and drug cartels.
05:38 mjg59_; Yeah see this is you changing the topic again
05:38 DaemonFC; And you can have your mortgages under the same roof.
05:38 mjg59_; You've admitted you have no idea what I should have tipped, but you assert that I just didn't tip enough
05:39 DaemonFC; I mean, you could have asked him why he drove clear over to the other side of town first.
05:39 DaemonFC; If you were that interested.
05:39 mjg59_; I really didn't care
05:39 mjg59_; I was hungry
05:39 DaemonFC; I would have.
05:39 mjg59_; Cool
05:39 DaemonFC; I would have let him off with "family emergency" or something.
05:39 mjg59_; I didn't remove the tip afterwards
05:39 mjg59_; He still got the money
05:40 mjg59_; Because I don't want to fuck over workers even if I have a bad experience
05:40 DaemonFC; I used one of those apps once and I was not happy that I did.
05:40 mjg59_; He's just trying to get by
05:40 DaemonFC; Like, this woman came up in a broken down car that barely worked, half rust, her kids in the back because she couldn't pay for childcare I guess.
05:41 DaemonFC; These aren't people who need some extra walking around money.
05:41 DaemonFC; These are people that were failed by the system and have nothing else. And tech assholes in California exploit them.
05:42 DaemonFC; mjg59_: I was at a Rosatti's Pizza. I went there to eat-in, and this guy called after he used Doordash.
05:43 DaemonFC; He called there to chew out the guy at the cash register, because he found out the pizzas were cheaper directly (duh) and Rosatti's doesn't charge a "service fee" (duh).
05:43 DaemonFC; So he decided he'd yell at some guy who had nothing to do with Doordash.
05:43 DaemonFC; I mean, there are some stupendously dumb assholes in the world.
05:44 DaemonFC; Maybe call and ask. Maybe get it delivered by Rosatti's.
05:44 DaemonFC; Maybe come get your own damn pizza.
05:44 mjg59_; I always check whether the restaurant has its own delivery service and use that instead
05:44 mjg59_; If it's within walking distance, I walk there
05:44 DaemonFC; mjg59_: I always swing by and get my own pizza. You don't have to tip and you get it right as it comes out and then dart home and you have pizza.
05:44 DaemonFC; And life is good.
05:45 mjg59_; Uh you should absolutely tip on pickup
05:45 DaemonFC; I'm always out and about doing something anyway.
05:45 mjg59_; Back of house is still doing their shit
05:45 DaemonFC; The tips are to the driver.
05:45 DaemonFC; It says they ALL go to the driver.
05:45 DaemonFC; It even says it on the receipt.
05:45 mjg59_; Yeah, and that's fucked
05:45 DaemonFC; The restaurant employees are not allowed to accept tips.
05:46 mjg59_; That's also fucked
05:46 DaemonFC; Not as fucked as Subway.
05:46 mjg59_; Who said anything about Subway
05:46 mjg59_; Stick to a fucking topic
05:46 DaemonFC; Know someone that was ordered by a manager to pull stale bread out and feed it to people. Out of the trash.
05:46 DaemonFC; Oh, well, they do allow you to tip the workers there.
05:47 DaemonFC; Then the managers say the drawer came up short so they steal it from the tip jar.
05:47 mjg59_; Awesome yes wage theft is a thing and shouldn't be
05:47 mjg59_; That doesn't mean that pickup orders shouldn't tip
05:47 DaemonFC; They hire people who don't dare report it.
05:47 DaemonFC; Need three guesses?
05:48 mjg59_; You are the most tedious person to talk to on the entire planet
05:48 DaemonFC; Meanwhile, enjoy the trash bread and the slime in the soda fountain.
05:48 DaemonFC; I hope they go out of business.
05:49 DaemonFC; I don't mention any of the health code violations because that's where the lawyers and judges go eat at.
05:49 DaemonFC; Fuck em./
05:49 DaemonFC; I know quite a lot of people around town though.
05:50 DaemonFC; Everyone is having a hard time except the police, the judges, the lawyers, the doctors, and the "software engineers".
05:50 mjg59_; Sounds like based on the calculations we did you don't think my tip was unreasonable, so I guess you'll stop complaining about that in future
05:50 DaemonFC; They get a lot of money to actively make people's lives worse.
05:51 DaemonFC; It's amazing how the doctor has become the latest way for the state to intrude and spy.
05:51 DaemonFC; "Do you have any guns in the house?"
05:51 DaemonFC; I left it blank.
05:51 DaemonFC; I checked my medical file and it says "No."
05:51 DaemonFC; I didn't tell them yes or no.
05:51 DaemonFC; It's none of their business.
05:52 DaemonFC; Why does the state demand your doctor to tell them something the state police can already infer by you having a FOID card?
05:52 DaemonFC; Or do they think Thugnificent is going to go into the doctor and say "Yeah, I have a ton of illegal guns. LOL"
05:52 DaemonFC; "I used one of them in a drive by this morning!"
05:53 DaemonFC; Sounds like based on the calculations we did you don't think my tip was unreasonable, so I guess you'll stop complaining about that in future
05:53 DaemonFC; Economics is sort of murky.
05:53 DaemonFC; What I actually said was that I think it was a lack of motivation in the tip amount.
05:54 DaemonFC; But since that's different for every person in every case for every reason, whether they felt you were being cheap with them or that it wasn't enough to put it at the top of their priority list.....something happened.
05:55 DaemonFC; mjg59_: Of course what things are worth is different to everyone.
05:55 DaemonFC; There's idiots like MARISOL that think a pair of eyeglasses is worth $1,400 because it has a brand on the cheap plastic shit.
05:55 DaemonFC; Are you the kind of guy that walks in and pays $1,400 for a pair of prescription glasses you're going to wear for a year or so until your prescription changes again?
05:56 DaemonFC; Or a baseball card.
05:56 DaemonFC; Maybe you like a rare one from 1950 that has a misprint on it and it's a $10,000 baseball card. I don't give a fuck about your baseball cards.
05:56 DaemonFC; What motivates every person is different.
05:57 DaemonFC; Since we can't know what will motivate a particular person, we have to make a certain set of assumptions.
05:57 DaemonFC; What is the usual thing that other people do that works?
05:58 DaemonFC; That's usually where we start with tips.
05:58 DaemonFC; Did you know that in the 1950s a 10% tip was a good tip?
05:58 DaemonFC; 10%!
05:58 mjg59_; Were my assumptions inappropriate?
05:58 DaemonFC; Maybe Doordash's base rate really sucked.
05:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0
05:59 DaemonFC; I don't know. I mean. Mandy has oodles and oodles of PPTO hours. They automatically excuse you for absences.
06:00 DaemonFC; If they put him on the schedule for 4 hours one week and that's weird, I go you know what. You have 80 PPTO hours.....4 hours is not worth getting out of bed and driving and then going and picking you up.
06:00 DaemonFC; Let's just spend the day together and watch shit on TV.
06:01 DaemonFC; So we take a day for us because 4 hours is not a shift that involves getting up, showering, shaving, getting some coffee in you, driving, fighting traffic on the way back, burning gas.
06:02 DaemonFC; It's about you have to offer something motivating.
06:02 DaemonFC; And I don't know if that's easy to do with Doordash because if there was a Walmart hiring in 20 miles they wouldn't be on this app.
06:04 DaemonFC; You're dealing with a fairly unmotivated person in the first place. All these expenses. Not much income.
06:04 DaemonFC; How would you like it if they paid you less than minimum wage and took Social Security and Medicare taxes from you TWICE?
06:05 DaemonFC; You're not making any money but you need this so you can qualify for shit-ass Obamacare or something?
06:05 DaemonFC; mjg59_: Do you lack the ability to think like this or something?
06:06 DaemonFC; mjg59_: What do you think about the email Quest Diagnostics sent me about Genetics Testing?
06:06 mjg59_; What does question two have to do with question one
06:06 DaemonFC; Do you think that if it had predictive value that Medicare or Medicaid would pay for it?
06:07 DaemonFC; Nothing, I just would like your opinion on this.
06:07 mjg59_; I paid what I thought was a good amount of money for the service I was expecting to receieve
06:07 DaemonFC; Medicare in particular seems to like paying for things that head off cancer before it gets serious.
06:08 mjg59_; And the state of the US healthcare system is fucked, resulting in more money being spent on care than prevention
06:08 DaemonFC; I wonder if Genetics Testing is some sort of racist pseudoscientific garbage or something.
06:08 DaemonFC; It smells like quackery to me.
06:08 DaemonFC; Insurance doesn't cover it, Medicare doesn't cover it. They use scare tactics.
06:08 mjg59_; But you have a weird tension between hospitals benefiting from you being sick and insurance companies benefiting from you not being sick
06:08 DaemonFC; "Don't you want to know if you might get CANCER!?"
06:08 mjg59_; But since they're not the same thing, it doesn't get resolved
06:09 mjg59_; And so you have the worst of both worlds
06:09 DaemonFC; I mean there does come a point where like schestowitz says you're paying them to dig in the wrong ditch.
06:10 DaemonFC; They couldn't find anything wrong with my heart with an ECG or a CAC scan.
06:10 DaemonFC; I'm considering calling it here and now, honestly.
06:11 DaemonFC; They have no idea what predictive value CAC scores have.
06:12 DaemonFC; There's people walking around in their 80s doing quite well with a CAC score of 2215. Which if you buy into this CAC thing, should be dead man walking.
06:12 DaemonFC; Mine was 0. So meh. Whatever that means.
06:12 DaemonFC; They seem to like selling them though.
06:13 DaemonFC; I noticed the system is full of stuff like this.
06:14 DaemonFC; Tests where the doctors aren't sure what to make of them, but they push them. Procedures that aren't needed and other doctors end up cleaning the mess up.
06:15 DaemonFC; I think if you look closely you begin to see a 19th century carnival barker system of "testing".

06:20 DaemonFC; mjg59_: Well, the insurance companies seem to be mostly happy with getting massive discounts vs. fake prices. But the fake prices become real prices to people who don't buy the insurance.
06:21 DaemonFC; So they benefit greatly from this.
06:21 DaemonFC; You're so scared of the fake prices that you go running to them for "protection".
06:21 DaemonFC; So they're in bed with the "providers" to charge so much that nobody would dare not do business with the insurance company. It's a protection racket.
06:22 DaemonFC; You can look at an EOB for two seconds and see what's going on here.

06:38 DaemonFC; I think my favorite part about later episodes of that show was that a lot of them said they had seen it on TV and they were now on the episode.
06:39 DaemonFC; So I mean, like, knowing that there are traps out there should do something to discourage people from the thing. I mean, the police have a lot of traps even though Dateline Predator has been off the air since they caught someone "important".
06:39 DaemonFC; Again, it's funny how this works.
06:39 DaemonFC; As soon as they catch someone they didn't want to expose, the whole show gets canceled.
06:39 DaemonFC; There were a string of suicides leading up to the prosecutor, and they didn't care and they kept going.
06:40 DaemonFC; But without a show, the cops still set up honeypot traps. They do it on Grindr.
06:40 DaemonFC; They make fake accounts and say they're underage or that they have drugs or stuff. It's always something illegal they're proposing.
06:41 DaemonFC; And the way I determined this was a trap (when I was on Grindr between John and Mandy and was looking FOR AN ADULT) was when they would message you.
06:41 DaemonFC; If you told them no, all the fake profiles would brigade you and they wouldn't stop. You'd block one of them and more would ask.
06:42 DaemonFC; And none of them were 17. (17 is legal in Illinois) So it goes, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18 There is no 17 on Grindr.
06:42 elusive_woman; Jeff Sokol is the funniest one
06:42 DaemonFC; And all of the fake profiles looked exactly the same. Cropped face photo. Nobody recognizable. Stock text saying something generic like "young in hs".
06:43 DaemonFC; And if you triangulated by GPS coordinates, which I can do, they're all camped out at a police station.
06:43 DaemonFC; So you have a bunch of 13 year olds looking for gay sex, who are offering you coke because why not. And they're all at the police station.
06:43 DaemonFC; :)
06:43 elusive_woman; iphones scrub EXIF data
06:43 DaemonFC; It's not EXIF data.
06:44 DaemonFC; You get a Fake GPS app and enable mock location.
06:44 DaemonFC; You drag the pin to the local police station, which you get from Google.
06:44 DaemonFC; Then they're "0 feet away".
06:44 elusive_woman; why are you checking if 13 year olds are police?
06:44 DaemonFC; You can easily figure out where someone on Grindr actually is by doing this.
06:44 DaemonFC; It gets closer or further away.
06:45 DaemonFC; elusive_womanwhy are you checking if 13 year olds are police?
06:45 elusive_woman; i dont talk to 13 year olds on grindr
06:45 DaemonFC; Because I told one of them that I knew they were the police and they should probably fake their location.
06:45 DaemonFC; Just to thumb my nose at them.
06:46 DaemonFC; Neither do I. I was talking to a police officer on Grindr.
06:46 DaemonFC; And telling them how much smarter I was than they are.
06:46 *techrights_guest_407 has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
06:47 DaemonFC; The reason so many people get stalkers on Grindr is because you can figure out exactly where anyone on Grindr lives like I just told you.

06:51 DaemonFC; Stephen Fry was talking about how much he liked using Grindr.
06:52 DaemonFC; I mean, if you want to compare it to something, it's sort of like that screen that Logan 5 had in Logan's Run.
06:52 DaemonFC; You flip it on, find someone to have sex with, and then well, that's kind of how most people use it.
06:53 DaemonFC; It's unfortunate how many bad things there are about it.
06:53 DaemonFC; That isn't in itself a bad thing. Certainly consensual sex between two adults isn't something that an enlightened 21st century person should be angered by.
06:53 DaemonFC; And technology that enables that isn't anything new.
06:54 DaemonFC; What makes Grindr worse I think is because it requires a cell phone, it wants personally identifying information, it sells data to advertisers, which is exactly what you want with an app to find people for sex.
06:54 DaemonFC; And because it has such granular distance given, it's useful for people who are really crazy, right?
06:55 DaemonFC; So you might have it open at home or somewhere you frequent and people can find out where you are and then you have a stalker or something.
