[04:04:17] <AzumaHazuki> So he IS dead.
[04:05:35] <takyon> yes
[04:05:39] <takyon> story in 15m
[04:09:13] <AzumaHazuki> Runaway1956: I said it before and I will say it again, you don't get to comment on him. You're a ghoul. You never gave a damn, and he's 10,000 times the man you ever were or will be
[04:09:40] <AzumaHazuki> he's dead, and YOU'RE still here. Shit like this is why I sometimes wonder if maltheism is a viable hypothesis
[04:18:45] <takyon> let's focus on MDC
[04:27:10] <AzumaHazuki> there's no justice, you know, in this world. none but what we make. and that requires power
[04:27:21] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Michael David Crawford Passes Away - http://sylnt.us - News
[04:27:49] <AzumaHazuki> what I'm reading of the shape of things to come is so dire i'm beginning to wonder if whatever apparatus enables this has simply broken down. but likely not.
[04:28:54] <takyon> i kind of swing back and forth between extreme optimism and pessimism
[04:29:07] <takyon> in relation to the future of humanity stuff
[04:30:29] <AzumaHazuki> i can't read that far ahead, but the next 5 years or so look...terrifying
[04:30:38] <AzumaHazuki> the premonitions of my own death keep intensifying too
[04:33:00] <takyon> I think we're OK in the short term, but when we start talking 20-30 years, shit will get crazy. Just take the dates Kurzweil has lobbed out there (such as 2045) and imagine what horrors technology will enable by then, combined with other problems
[04:34:20] <AzumaHazuki> this is why i don't fear death (though why I'm also trying my damndest not to get reincarnated again)

[16:06:29] <Runaway1956> OMG, is it morning again?
[16:07:55] <Sulla> West coast best coast
[16:08:50] <Runaway1956> You refer to the Bering Sea, I take it?
[16:12:42] <Sulla> I bought MDC $60 of stamps and a box of envelopes, had emailed him because I wanted to drive them up this weekend
[16:12:48] <Sulla> such sad news
[16:14:29] <AndyTheAbsurd> Sulla: I'm on the west coast but also in the EDT time zone.
[16:15:14] <Runaway1956> You can do that in Florida, I hear.
[16:15:30] <Sulla> When I said "morning all" i realized it was a mistake as we are not PST centric, was not expecting to be called on it so fast! hah
[16:16:21] <Runaway1956> Well, for me, it's late evening. When the sun comes up, I'm thinking of going to bed.
[16:17:25] <Sulla> Work nights or just prefer to be up all night?
[16:17:53] <AndyTheAbsurd> Runaway1956: you are correct - I live in Pinellas County, FL. A.K.A. the mini-wang on America's giant wang.
[16:17:55] <Runaway1956> Some of each. I prefer to be up at night, but the bastards insist that I work.
[16:25:54] <Runaway1956> Can I scan the chihuahua, and email him to somebody? I don't even insist on a "good home".
[16:26:15] <AndyTheAbsurd> Is he small enough for my cats to beat up?
[16:26:59] <Runaway1956> Yes, he's small enough for most cats to beat up - alas, cats around here seem to like him - they lick each other's asses
[16:29:34] <Sulla> Why would you have a chihuahua in the first place?
[16:30:11] <Runaway1956> I read somewhere that chihuahuas are good for people who have asthma, so I bought the wife one many years ago
[16:30:22] <Runaway1956> He died, so she got another
[16:30:47] <Runaway1956> And, before you ask - yes - the stupid beast does seem to help her asthma
[16:35:11] <Sulla> Why chihuahuas in particular
[16:35:19] <Sulla> why not a real dog, like a collie?
[16:35:51] <Runaway1956> Oh - chihuahuas aren't dogs, are they?
[16:36:22] <Runaway1956> I don't know why, exactly - I was told long ago that the chi's have tonsils, and other dogs don't
[16:36:38] <Runaway1956> I have learned since that other dogs have tonsils, so that can't be it
[16:37:06] <Runaway1956> All I know is, the wife used inhalers regularly - until I bought Timmy Two Toes for her
[16:37:23] <Runaway1956> all nicely registered, with a pedigree, and papers that he couldn't even read
[16:37:34] <Runaway1956> and, her asthma got better
[16:42:35] <Sulla> Weird
[16:42:52] <Sulla> Sounds like womanly wiles to trick a man into getting a animal that nobody wants
[16:43:29] <boru> I'm more surprised that the chihuahua graduated from medical school without being able to read.
[16:43:46] <Runaway1956> This is one of the reasons I don't dismiss alternative medicines: there are too many honest anecdotal evidences of things that work
[16:44:13] <Sulla> Approving of my wife buying a mustang had a direct influence on the number of dishes and cloths she was able to wash, can i write it off on my taxes?
[16:44:15] <Runaway1956> Actually, the wife didn't really want a chi - she just went along with it
[16:44:35] <Runaway1956> LMAO - I'll approve of the write off
[16:52:51] <Sulla> Why are mattresses so expensive?
[16:53:27] <Sulla> The same mattress I bought in 2010 for 800 is now 1500
[16:53:30] <Sulla> the hell
[16:59:46] <boru> It's connected now; it will integrate with IRC and tell us when you need to buy a new one one.
[17:03:19] <Runaway1956> I missed something here - you're connecting Sulla mattress to IRC?
[17:04:30] <Runaway1956> Oh - you've broken that mattress in, of course it's worth more now

[22:14:06] <Sulla> Dunno, for my wife and I the perfect birth control was just waiting until marraige and then having kids. Not out of any sort of religious devotion but because we didn't want kids before marriage
[22:20:32] <fyngyrz> veyr similar in my case, except I didn't want kids before I died

[23:29:34] <Sulla> I totally missed MDC's journal on the 16th
[23:30:07] <Bytram> same here
[23:30:25] <Bytram> did you see the journal entry I posted?
[23:30:36] <Bytram> https://soylentnews.org
[23:30:38] <Sulla> Thats how i noticed it
[23:30:42] <Bytram> oh.
[23:30:44] <Bytram> k
[23:32:05] <Bytram> wish I had known about it when I was looking for his last activity on the site to respond to queries, here.
[23:33:00] <Bytram> RandomFactor: thanks for the story submission. It's already queued up!
[23:33:15] <Sulla> Yeah. I have been considering going up to Portland to invite him to lunch, I had been planning to take some stamps and envelopes up there. That journal would have increased the urgency
[23:33:53] <Sulla> I also know a pharmacist (top of his class at OSU) who might have been able to make other drug suggestions that would do the same thing
[23:34:28] <RandomFactor> I guess i could submit the Jesse one, but someone will do it soon enough
[23:34:32] <Bytram> If it's any comfort, I'm sure he would have appreciated it. Thing is, with competing demands on our time, sometimes priorities *only* become clear... after the fact. :/
[23:35:11] <Bytram> to save you the effort, is probably not something that I would run.
[23:36:11] <Sulla> meh, smollett isn't news i don't think
[23:36:23] <Bytram> now, if there were a science angle, or some strange turn of law that was a factor, that might help lean things to publishing it. Otherwise, it sounds too much like something that I would see in, say, People magazine.
[23:36:26] <RandomFactor> Oh it would get...discussion...
[23:36:46] <Bytram> there's plenty enough other places on the 'net for that.
[23:36:51] <Sulla> Well, its hard to judge. I don't know what I would do as I did not see the journal in time. haven't missed an MDC journal in over a year
[23:37:01] <chromas> post it, but enable ad banners for just that story

[23:37:12] * RandomFactor likes it
[23:37:39] <Bytram> It was only begrudgingly that we acquiesced to running political stories on the site, and even then we try to keep it to at most a story per day.
[23:37:47] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: Hiya
[23:37:58] <AzumaHazuki> o/
[23:38:12] <Bytram> \o/
[23:38:19] <Sulla> the smollett thing just isn't that interesting, at least to me
[23:38:26] <Sulla> no facts there, just opinion

[23:40:02] <Bytram> bring out your legs!
[23:40:21] <chromas> 'tis but a flesh wound
[23:40:31] <AzumaHazuki> meh, the fact is Smollet is a grandstanding, selfish moron who just made it a hell of a lot harder for actual people who've been assaulted to get justice
[23:40:38] <Bytram> 'es a killer rabbit!
[23:41:10] <Sulla> Most likely, but he also could not be lying
[23:41:29] <Sulla> The police certainly think he is, but police like to lie as well

[23:44:05] <AzumaHazuki> ...wtf, and i JUST NOW came across an article saying all charges were dropped
[23:44:23] <RandomFactor> Miss IRC, you miss a lot
[23:44:45] <AzumaHazuki> this is bullshit. if he were poor he'd be in prison and possibly dead there
[23:45:18] <Sulla> The excuse was pretty bad too
[23:45:31] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: I expect you are right
[23:45:35] <Bytram> whereto? https://www.youtube.com
[23:45:36] <SecurityHoleBot> ^ 0342 is the new 33 - Numberphile
[23:45:41] <AzumaHazuki> this is a good illustration of why i keep saying that (most of) sexism, racism, etc is a proxy for class warfare
[23:45:51] <Sulla> Something along the lines that worst he could get out of it is community service, but that because he already did it then he shouldn't be persecuted
[23:45:56] <RandomFactor> poor or not well connected
[23:50:32] <Sulla> Will be interesting to see whether or not he did any community service
[23:50:50] <FatPhil> AzumaHazuki: Jussie Smollett cleared = See dollars melt justice (anagram)
[23:51:06] <AzumaHazuki> ...wow. That is on the nose
[23:51:39] <RandomFactor> He is, however, still under FBI investigation for the threat letter sent to Fox studios in Chicago. Separate matter.
[23:51:43] <Sulla> I mean, again, maybe he was attacked and he didn't pay for it. However unlikely it is

[23:53:57] <SecurityHoleBot> ^ 03Emergency declared in NY over measles, unvaccinated barred from public spaces
[23:54:26] <RandomFactor> Banning unvaccinated kids from public spaces, that's going be controversial
[23:55:01] <Sulla> Seems unconstitutional
[23:55:40] <chromas> They're not banning the kids; they're just deplatforming them
[23:56:11] <FatPhil> nuke'em from orbit, it's the only way to be sure
[23:56:33] <RandomFactor> de-public platforming
[23:56:55] <chromas> It's not like those children are paying the taxes that fund the public squares
[23:57:37] <RandomFactor> If they don't pay taxes, is it really murder to strangle them?
[23:57:42] <FatPhil> make them wear breathing masks, and stars on their upper arm where their BCG should be!
[23:57:48] <Sulla> service makes citizenship
[23:58:04] <RandomFactor> I'm doing my part
[23:58:41] <FatPhil> Do you want to know more?
[23:59:36] <Bytram> sure
[23:59:51] <chromas> Are there ovens involved?
