[09:43:49] <janrinok> Morning chromas, morning Ingar, morning fab23
[10:07:49] <Ingar> good morning janrinok
[10:10:00] <Ingar> back to work it is
[10:13:10] <janrinok> Ah, yes, of course. But think of all of the oodles of money you will be getting for your toil /s
[10:14:19] <Ingar> even better, I jsut spend some monies so I now I have to earn them back :)
[10:31:48] <janrinok> the pleasures of combining a religious holiday with unrestrained capitalism!
[10:54:21] <chromas2> Say, that's a nice dollar you've got there. You owe me 5¢ and also I'm gonna need you to tell me where you got it from so I can also take 5¢ from that guy as well
[10:59:29] * Ingar laughs mercilessly and pays in euro
[11:01:58] <janrinok> I'll pay in crypto - this number is easily worth 5¢ - 2813b48fb1b100f79e6275d6e45e998d2b6eb971f042b89e3f5b48560aa908bd, but keep it to yourself
[11:02:31] <chromas2> Whatever. Give Big Daddy Gubbermint his dues or we'll come rough up the place
[11:02:47] <janrinok> How will I notice the difference?
[11:03:31] * janrinok notices that the New Year is off to a good start!
[11:03:51] <Ingar> It began with a stormy day
[11:04:01] <Ingar> atm it is sunny though
[11:04:17] <janrinok> same here and all over the UK yesterday. Today is just grey and gloomy
[11:04:18] <Ingar> chromas2: also, the gubbermint takes 21% you cheapskate
[11:04:47] <janrinok> Ok, chromas2, you win. How many numbers do you want?
[11:05:24] <chromas2> it's a progressive tax. We'll start off with five cents and progress from there
[11:05:57] <janrinok> but I didn't vote for the progressives...., or the other mob either
[11:06:28] <chromas2> You didn't vote to do things according to a vote either
[11:06:33] <Ingar> I voted for that progressive party that totally lost the elections... no harm done
[11:06:37] <janrinok> No taxation without representation! That sounded quite catchy. I wonder if it has been used before?
[11:07:06] -!- systemd [systemd!~systemd@pid1] has joined #soylent
[11:07:08] <chromas2> systemd is here to represent you
[11:07:20] <Ingar> systemctl status chromas2
[11:07:33] * systemd inits
[11:11:27] <chromas2> I can't believe you guys are against taxes. Think of the roads, schools, propping foreign dictators and free internets!
[11:13:34] * chromas2 replaces janrinok's tea with coffee
[11:18:33] <janrinok> bastard!
[11:18:47] <janrinok> Now I'll never sleep

[12:17:38] <plexiplenum> Fresh start? Nice new clean Soylent Phisher! Less comments, fewer discussions, more central control of the dialogue! Thanks to our hardworking staff (janrinok) for doing all the censoring and deleting! Happy Hannuki!
[12:19:46] <plexiplenum> And Just a Gentile reminder: no one on SoylentNews has voted for anything on the site, in a decade or more.

[12:31:40] <Ingar> I had no idea ari was a sharehodler with voting power
[13:24:02] <janrinok> Breaking - Car Bomb Explodes in New Orleans. ISIS link.
[14:15:08] -!- drussell [drussell!~drussell@2604:3d08:ghnm:vozx::zxir] has joined #soylent
[14:16:12] <drussell> No, a home-grown terrorist from Texas drove an F-150 down a crowded, closed street, mowing down as many people as he couldm crashed into a crane and shot some cops.
[14:16:29] <drussell> (In New Orleans...)
[14:16:54] <drussell> A Cyber Truck blew up in Vegas, outside a Trump hotel... t was loaded with incendearies...
[14:18:43] <drussell> That's two different incident. It is as yet unclear if they were actually linked, but I think I heard something about two people believed to be involved having been from the same army base at one point or something... We need to wait for more details as they're revealed instead of wild speculation like the media was doing all day yesterday.
[14:21:38] <drussell> (The Texas guy did have an ISIS flag on his truck... Some sort of speculation he may have _self-radicalized_ himself (?!), apparently.)

[15:01:28] <drussell> ^^ * systemd has quit (Ping timeout: 272 seconds)
[15:01:41] <drussell> LOL
[15:03:22] <janrinok> ... and today the media are still confused about what has happened!
[15:12:41] <drussell> That depends on what media you follow. Anyone reporting facts instead of speculation seem to be consistent.
[15:13:13] <drussell> Nowehere have I seen any credible claims that anything blew up in New Orleans.
[15:14:36] <drussell> Someone packed the bed of a Cyber Truck with various flammable and explosive things, arked it outside a Trump hotel in Vegas and blew it up.
[15:14:43] <drussell> parked
[15:15:21] <drussell> Whether those two incidents are actually related in any way is all still speculation and circumstantial evidence so far. Time will tell.
[15:18:54] <drussell> In New Orleans, they have admitted that the bollards that meant to block the sidewalk where the perpetrator drove the truck through to the "closed" area where people were gathered, were not functional and they didn't bother to block it manually somehow. The new, replacement bollards are in stock but had not been installed yet. Hooray for brilliant city officials. 🙄
[15:20:11] <drussell> It is unfortunate that you apparently need to physically block off the street in an attempt to stop madmen from plowing through crowds, intentionally mowing down pedestrians, but this is the USA, so here we are.

[20:05:44] <prg> Not just the USA. Germany had one of those attacks a week or so ago. And it wasn't the first time it happened there either.
[20:06:40] <prg> Seems like the whole world has been going more and more crazy in the last few years.

[20:44:58] <plexiplenum> Quote of Year: "Cryptocurrency is astrology for men."
[20:45:42] <kolie> Mocking astrology is misogyny.
[20:46:05] <plexiplenum> Quote from actual Female!
[20:47:23] <kolie> What's an actual female these days in California?
[20:50:00] <plexiplenum> One that owned the original doge, though she was Japanese.
[20:50:51] <kolie> Sato wasn't a JILF
[20:50:58] <plexiplenum> (now it is conservatives that cannot define "woman"? Curious.)
[20:55:45] <kolie> I know how the progressive left and the far right define it.
[20:55:53] <plexiplenum> I find your ignorance of internet meme history, disturbing.
[20:57:21] <kolie> i find your ignorance amusing.
[20:58:36] <kolie> especially given your namesake.
