22:21:01 IsambardPrince; 4h ago
22:21:03 IsambardPrince; I know two Venezuelans under TPS, that are right wing pro trump. They’ll have a rude awakening.
22:21:05 IsambardPrince; Ouch.
22:21:07 IsambardPrince; Ooops.
22:21:09 IsambardPrince; Anyway...
22:21:11 IsambardPrince; LOL
22:21:13 IsambardPrince; MinceR, They were pitching Trump and then he signed an order this evening canceling their temporary status, making them all deportable as soon as ICE finds them.
22:22:05 MinceR; i hope ICE does find them
22:22:20 MinceR; and gives them what they campaigned for
22:24:23 IsambardPrince; It would be like the goddamned Cubans all over again.
22:24:31 IsambardPrince; Now it's time for a human hunt, MinceR
22:24:33 IsambardPrince; With Dr. Phil.
22:24:35 IsambardPrince; :D
22:25:13 MinceR; will he be the hunter or the hunted?
22:25:54 IsambardPrince; The Inquisitor, you know.
22:26:02 IsambardPrince; He gets to decide if they raped anyone.
22:26:06 MinceR; :>
22:26:09 IsambardPrince; Like he did in Chicago with Tom Homan the other day.
22:26:30 IsambardPrince; There's no trial. Dr. Phil shoves a microphone and camera in your face and asks you why you raped a little girl I guess.
22:26:36 IsambardPrince; Much faster that way.
22:26:48 IsambardPrince; Make an accusation and then it goes straight to demonization and punishment.
22:27:03 IsambardPrince; It's very quick. I'll give them that.
22:27:32 MinceR; "why don't you take a seat over there"
22:27:35 IsambardPrince; They used to have a reality TV show in the US called The People's Court.
22:27:36 IsambardPrince; :)
22:27:45 IsambardPrince; I guess we'll have it for realsies now.
22:27:59 MinceR; the people's judge, jury and executioner in one person
22:28:12 IsambardPrince; Double whammy!
22:28:19 IsambardPrince; Armor piercing!
22:28:24 IsambardPrince; We're going to war.
22:28:25 IsambardPrince; WAAAAAAR
22:28:29 MinceR; :>
22:28:51 MinceR; "let me guess, life" "death. court's adjourned."
22:29:04 MinceR; LAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
22:30:42 MinceR; "yours, if you can ever get it to work"
22:47:06 IsambardPrince; Impound is for a first offense....you're a menace!
22:47:09 IsambardPrince; GRENADE!
22:47:12 IsambardPrince; :D
22:49:12 MinceR; :)
22:49:52 IsambardPrince; Your new friends.....are cannibals!
22:49:55 IsambardPrince; :D
22:51:08 IsambardPrince; We can't exactly go walk up to the door and say "HELLO! CURSED EARTH PIZZA!"
22:54:22 IsambardPrince; MinceR, They should have let Patton march on Russia.
22:54:47 MinceR; yeah
22:55:08 MinceR; or at least they should have nuked muscovy the moment it turned out that they were turning the eastern bloc into another reich
22:55:22 IsambardPrince; Punishing him for saying that we should was one of the worst mistakes a president made in the 20th century.

23:09:45 IsambardPrince; MinceR, I started an argument with an ICE officer on Reddit then got him banned from Reddit for saying he "killed more people before he joined ICE".

23:19:56 IsambardPrince; schestowitz-pi, Trump extracted $22 million from Meta for the "Presidential Library".
23:20:01 IsambardPrince; Be sure to mention that.
23:22:19 IsambardPrince; "Enforcement action in Philadelphia: People at a North Philadelphia car wash were seen scrambling to escape as federal officers arrived during an apparent raid on Tuesday morning, according to neighbors and surveillance video obtained by CNN affiliate KYW. The apparent raid resulted in seven arrests, according to multiple immigrant rights advocacy groups. In response, immigrant rights advocates held a protest outside of ICE
23:22:19 IsambardPrince; headquarters."
23:22:25 IsambardPrince; MinceR, They raided a car wash in Philly.
23:22:30 IsambardPrince; America is great again.
23:22:32 IsambardPrince; World saved.
23:22:54 nobody; prices for medicine exploded; some mild sleeping pills more than doubled since i bought some 5 years ago

23:24:39 IsambardPrince; MinceR, They charged an ICE officer for a wax that he didn't get.
23:24:43 IsambardPrince; And this is what happens.
23:24:44 IsambardPrince; :P
00:14:49 IsambardPrince; https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/01/29/waukegan-man-killed-self-after-accidental-fatal-shooting-of-friend-police-say/
00:15:39 IsambardPrince; "Waukegan police said a man apparently took his own life after accidentally shooting a friend to death Sunday evening.
00:15:40 IsambardPrince; The incident unfolded at around 7:15 p.m. as four men were driving around Waukegan trying to buy drugs, police said.
00:15:40 IsambardPrince; As they were driving in the 1900 block of West Greenwood Avenue, Fredi Aquilar Carrasco, 31, who was in the backseat of the vehicle, fired a pistol into the back of the front seat. The bullet struck Leobardo Diaz, 28, who was in the front passenger seat, according to authorities.
00:15:40 IsambardPrince; After the shooting, Aquilar Carrasco exited the vehicle and walked away, police said. His body was discovered later that night in the yard of a residence about two blocks from the initial shooting. He was dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot to the head, police said."
00:16:05 IsambardPrince; MinceR, Well, there's two ICE doesn't have to find anymore.
01:47:08 IsambardPrince; schestowitz-pi, Every authoritarian kleptocracy gets used to having humorous euphemisms for political corruption.
01:47:08 IsambardPrince; I suppose in America that will be "Donating to the Trump Presidential Library".
01:47:52 IsambardPrince; This describes what happens when you say something Trump doesn't like and he threatens your broadcast license or has some sleazebag of his work you over.
02:08:38 IsambardPrince; "If I didn't know already, I would ask "Who is so freaking retarded that they would vote for someone like this?"
02:08:39 IsambardPrince; Unfortunately most of my family. You shouldn't ask questions you don't want to answer I guess.
02:08:39 IsambardPrince; It's not that the Venezuelans who thought they would be the "Golden Immigrant" because they hate anything vaguely Progressive are particularly stupid. Half the people my mom goes to church with, including her household, are on the dole, and Trump released an executive order that cited no laws in the middle of the night that not only tried to take "the dole" but pretty much everything down to federal aid highway grants.
02:08:39 IsambardPrince; Everyone is on "the dole" if you haven't noticed lately, because that's what happens after 50 years of right-wing politics, inflation, recessions, and wage stagnation. Programs from the 60s and 70s that were intended to deal with extreme corner cases of poverty become something EVERYONE relies on.
02:08:45 IsambardPrince; Now they're coming for that. Enjoy, I guess?
02:08:47 IsambardPrince; I hope they send the Venezuelans back if many of them really are right-wing. Conservatives are why our country is such a dumpster fire already and the last thing we need is more people like this here and maybe becoming citizens and voting someday. We are apparently perfectly able when it comes to destroying our own country. Go home.
02:08:51 IsambardPrince; If Ronald Satan had sent the Cubans (the last group that turned out to be amazingly right-wing) right back where they came from instead of starting a long program of welcoming their least desirable and most reactionary defectors into America, perhaps we would not be talking about Trump right now."
02:11:06 IsambardPrince; ----
02:11:16 IsambardPrince; MinceR, HUMAN HUNT
02:11:18 IsambardPrince; :D
02:11:27 IsambardPrince; Like Maximum Overdrive.
02:11:36 IsambardPrince; Humans here humans here humans here!
02:11:59 MinceR; THIS IS NOT WAR, THIS IS PEST CONTROL!
02:16:24 IsambardPrince; Trump should use that one when war breaks out with Venezuela.
02:17:20 IsambardPrince; MinceR, He doesn't realize it but the best way to cement the Republican grip on America would be to let the Venezuelans burrow in. They hate Maduro and it would be the Cubans all over again.
02:17:51 MinceR; that would be counter to his emotions
02:18:00 MinceR; and especially to those of his handlers
02:19:00 IsambardPrince; MinceR, DHS Secretary Puppy Killer (Kristi Noem) didn't revoke TPS for Sudan.
02:19:04 IsambardPrince; Just Venezuela.
02:19:09 IsambardPrince; What's up with that?
02:19:17 MinceR; TPS report?
02:19:52 IsambardPrince; Temporary Protected Status.
02:20:04 IsambardPrince; I'd throw out the Sudan people first if it was me honestly.
02:20:12 IsambardPrince; The last thing we need is more poor blacks.
02:20:18 MinceR; the Warriors of Sudan
02:20:31 IsambardPrince; The only thing is it would go slower because they all look the same.

06:02:09 IsambardPrince; schestowitz-pi, USCIS changed their API.
06:02:14 IsambardPrince; I had this to say on Reddit:
06:02:18 IsambardPrince; "It could be an innocent API change, it could be the administration trying to make it so the data doesn't get reported. Who knows?
06:02:18 IsambardPrince; Trump didn't like the unemployment numbers after he didn't respond to COVID at all for 6 months, so he told BLS to go back and get him "better numbers" and then later they revised it and said they undercounted it. It wasn't 16 million people losing their jobs in 6 weeks, it was 24.9 million.
06:02:18 IsambardPrince; It's like 1984, right? Orwell. The statistics don't matter. Maybe they had a goal of making 150 million pairs of boots, but they only made 60 million, so they revise the goal to 50 million and now they have an overproduction. Maybe they didn't make any boots. Maybe half the people are walking around barefoot.
06:02:19 IsambardPrince; Expect this to be how "statistics" get reported again.
06:02:21 IsambardPrince; What happens when tariffs and trade wars sink our economy and put millions out of work and cause hyperinflation?
06:02:24 IsambardPrince; Do you expect everyone in the news will cite BLS saying that unemployment skyrocketed to 11% while inflation that year was 18%?
06:02:27 IsambardPrince; Of course not. They'll "get better numbers"."
06:02:28 schestowitz[TR2]; you post loads of Off topci stuff

23:59:03 IsambardPrince; MinceR, On Reddit, I said: "Many doctors who have to read state-mandated speech say "The State requires me to tell you that......but that isn't medically true."'
23:59:03 IsambardPrince; The law basically requires them to say it, but they have their own Free Speech rights to tell you that medically, what the State requires them to say, is not true at all.
23:59:03 IsambardPrince; You only get laws like this in red States."
23:59:03 IsambardPrince; "Then the State requires them to show you an ultrasound when they know that you are experiencing a miscarriage.
23:59:05 IsambardPrince; For years I thought that this is probably where the evil would end and that Roe v. Wade was settled law, but now it's not."
23:59:08 IsambardPrince; "Now, in many States, women who miscarry are being investigated and even sometimes prosecuted criminally."
23:59:11 IsambardPrince; "OB/GYN in Indiana was crap before all of this happened, and I hear it's getting even worse now.
23:59:15 IsambardPrince; Before hospital birth, infant mortality rate was incredibly high. It was something like 11-12% of all pregnancies.
23:59:18 IsambardPrince; Indiana really wants to go back to this? Illinois already has half the infant mortality rate of Indiana.
23:59:21 IsambardPrince; If it wasn't for States like Indiana making the national average worse, we'd be doing better than Canada."
00:00:22 IsambardPrince; ---\
00:00:27 IsambardPrince; There's a tech angle here.
00:00:49 IsambardPrince; Prosecutors are using Google account histories and cell phone location data to prove women traveled for abortion care.
00:01:24 IsambardPrince; Illinois passed a law that bans them from cooperating, but now that the tech companies are little more than an extension of the Trump administration, who knows what they'll do.
00:02:58 IsambardPrince; Women could use Tor browser to look up abortion care information and make an appointment, print a map on paper, and then travel without their cell phone or better, without the phone and using public transit like the South Shore Line to get into Illinois. It would make everything so much harder to prove.
00:03:31 IsambardPrince; But they'd have to know to do all of that. They'd have to know how the State investigates these cases. And most women who need an abortion are young and scared and not at all tech savvy.
00:04:05 IsambardPrince; And they'd still have to be careful to avoid "fake abortion clinics" operated by fundamentalist Christians. Illinois has those too and they are not illegal.
00:04:25 IsambardPrince; We've been trying to deal with them using our consumer fraud laws and stuff.
00:06:17 IsambardPrince; ---
00:06:38 IsambardPrince; MinceR, Indiana doesn't seem to care that infant mortality has doubled since they took over the State, and gets worse every year.
00:06:56 IsambardPrince; Perhaps death of infants due to a shitty third world medical system is "God's will" or something?
00:08:33 MinceR; well, they were already born, therefore they have no rights or value to the christian fundamentalists who regularly pose as The Most Virtuous People Ever
00:14:35 IsambardPrince; MinceR, I wouldn't actually call most of the people in Indiana that say they're a doctor "a doctor".
00:14:40 IsambardPrince; They mostly get the worst.
00:14:51 IsambardPrince; Just utterly too incompetent to get a job anywhere else in the country.
00:15:54 IsambardPrince; So even if you get in with an OB/GYN doctor it would be like that creepy Indian dude that practices in my mom's town where his patients get on Google and leave reviews saying he was fondling them and staring creepily.
00:16:30 IsambardPrince; It would be like Borat where he says "And there's the town mechanic, and abortionist." except abortion is illegal there now.
00:17:30 IsambardPrince; MinceR, The Indiana government did a thing the other day I'm not even sure is possible. First they banned abortion even if it was rape or incest or the mother will die.
00:17:35 IsambardPrince; Just totally banned.
00:18:08 IsambardPrince; Then Governor Braun signed an executive order that says anytime a woman gets an abortion in the State of Indiana, the public health department will put all her private information on a public website and say she got an abortion.
00:18:15 IsambardPrince; So how does this happen?
00:18:43 MinceR; well, i suppose there's a way infants could have right/value from a christian fundamentalist perspective: if they were obscenely rich.
00:19:15 IsambardPrince; Even if it wasn't banned, the only reason they'd put her info on a public website, which is illegal under HIPAA, is so that some anti-abortion criminal will go murder her.
00:20:11 IsambardPrince; The idea is if you go have an abortion, they'll publish your name and address so all the crazies know who to come for, but they also say abortion is banned.
00:21:16 IsambardPrince; Technically, the Terminated Pregnancy List also applies to women who miscarry.
00:21:29 IsambardPrince; So they might be trying to cause violence against women who miscarry in Indiana.
00:22:47 IsambardPrince; MinceR, Another person who Trump pardoned for January 6th was a man from Illinois who raped a seven year old girl. Illinois just sent him to state prison for 19 years.
00:23:07 IsambardPrince; Mom and Dad voted to let these people out of prison and dump them all back out on top of us.
00:23:28 IsambardPrince; More than half the people are wanted for nearly every type of crime we have from molesting kids, to terrorism, even beyond J6.
00:24:21 IsambardPrince; Letting them go didn't free them. About 60% are just going to a different prison on other felonies.
00:24:37 IsambardPrince; And 40% will probably be an extreme danger to the public for as long as they're out there.

From the stock winners and losers, it's clear that the companies that make things are down double digits, the banks that loan money at exorbitant rates so people can buy some food this week and worry about the credit card bill later are...up again.

09:23:11 IsambardPrince; They all run pretty much like the Brawndo corporation in Idiocracy these days. Their only playbook is that when the stock goes down, they fire people to appease investors. In Idiocracy, the Brawndo corporation responded to a total stock drop by firing everyone including the CEO. It was funny because it's so formulaic you could just have a computer in there running everything and calculating who to fire.
09:23:41 IsambardPrince; You have to seriously wonder if they keep more employees than they need until....product divisions actually start dying.
09:23:58 IsambardPrince; Like the Google announcement for its platforms and devices division.
09:24:44 IsambardPrince; I remember when a new plant manager got flown in from India to shut down RCA in Marion, Indiana when my Dad worked there.
09:25:06 IsambardPrince; Every round of layoffs got closer to his department until they got him too because they wouldn't need any more designs.
09:25:42 IsambardPrince; Then they started taking him back on contract work several months later after his unemployment ran out, and eventually he worked for them again on contract in Mexico helping set up a plant there, which didn't last.

09:26:19 IsambardPrince; It turned out that their problem wasn't that they couldn't make their picture tubes cheaper, it's that in single digit numbers of years after Marion shut down, nobody used tubes at all and they had a new tube plant in Mexico.
09:26:30 IsambardPrince; Sometimes companies are just operated this poorly.
09:27:38 IsambardPrince; You get leaders that are remarkably tunnel visioned.
09:27:56 IsambardPrince; Microsoft did the same thing to Windows for sure as what RCA did with picture tubes.
09:28:19 IsambardPrince; Try to get the costs down instead of realizing that the product itself would be dying and then dead soon.
09:28:59 IsambardPrince; It wasn't like, overnight nobody made a TV with a tube, it's that they were just a lower share of the new TV market each year until they were gone.

09:30:04 IsambardPrince; Microsoft has operated as something of a self-funded cash furnace for many years.
09:30:22 IsambardPrince; They made so much money on a couple products that they could just bury their many failures and never talk about them again.
09:32:56 IsambardPrince; I remember that the plant manager at RCA was always breathing down people's necks.
09:33:29 IsambardPrince; My dad said the guy was so toxic he made one woman break down crying and he shouted at another man until the guy had a heart attack and they had to take him in an ambulance to the hospital.
09:34:13 IsambardPrince; They elevated that plant manager to sainthood in his obituary though. They said that he was charitable and even donated "a brand new mansion in India" to a women's college.
09:35:13 IsambardPrince; But I remember in 1998 when that guy became the plant manager because dad came home every day furious about something that the guy did at work. Never understood how much stress my parents went through until I got older and got a job and ran into people like that.
09:37:23 IsambardPrince; schestowitz[TR2], My thinking is that almost every workplace is toxic to some degree.
09:37:28 IsambardPrince; And it's deliberate.
09:37:59 IsambardPrince; They can dial it up or down depending on how many people they want to quit, or target it at people they'd really rather be rid of.
09:38:04 IsambardPrince; It's not a mistake.
09:38:27 IsambardPrince; My dad loved his career at RCA until that guy showed up near the end.
09:38:55 IsambardPrince; My guess is that he was trying to drive people out by turning it into a madhouse to limit how many people they'd have to lay off and owe something to.
