Nationalize the VA, not Medicare. 09:39 <@dasunt> I'm pretty sure they are afraid of a far-right challenge in the primary. 09:40 <@dasunt> So, fuck y'all if you have pre-existing conditions or think that your insurance company should support such extravegancies like maternity care, hospitalizations, or prescription drugs. Because Sen John Smith (R-head up his ass) is afraid that Billy Bob might challenge him in the primary. 09:41 <@Corydon76> dasunt: in some ways, it seems like a sure-fire way to get the Democrats to take control of the seat, at least for 2 years. 09:42 <@dasunt> Corydon76: One would think so... 09:42 <@dasunt> But I'm pretty sure that somehow, this will be blamed on Obama. 09:42 <@Corydon76> If you run someone so far to the right that he isolates the middle, it's highly likely the Democrats could come up with somebody who, at least on the surface, looks good to the middle 09:43 <@Corydon76> Or maybe it takes an independent candidate who would caucus with the Democrats. 09:44 <@Corydon76> It would be super fantastic if we actually had a sane third party in this country. Instead, we're left with the Libertarians and the Greens, who are both completely nuts in their own separate ways. 09:45 <@dasunt> Well, the Democrats are basically a centralist party right now. 09:48 <@Dagmar> ...and most of the sheep are convinced they don't wildly outnumber the politicians 09:50 <@Corydon76> dasunt: they are a centrist party, but they've left unanswered so many attacks over the past 20 years that their reputation is seriously damaged with middle America. 09:51 <@Corydon76> When people tell you everything they want in a candidate, but they'll never vote for a Democrat, there's a problem. 09:51 <@Corydon76> (* and everything they want matches 90% with the Democrats) 09:51 <@opticron> nah, different weirder GOP candidates are always the answer! 09:53 <@Corydon76> opticron: given that who is funding the right wing GOP candidates is a group known for their Libertarian leanings, it shouldn't be too surprising if they basically threw an election to the Democrats, at least temporarily 09:53 <@Corydon76> Americans for Prosperity is not above screwing both parties in order to get what they want. 10:22 -!- ^020d [~^020d@108-192-158-126.lightspeed.tukrga.sbcglobal.net] has joined #se2600 10:26 <@dasunt> It's amazing how badly Democrats are at branding. 10:27 <@dasunt> Er, bad Democrats are. 10:27 * dasunt is a little distracted. 10:27 <@dasunt> I'm listening to an audio track to make sure a conversion worked. 10:28 <@Corydon76> Will Rogers once said, "I don't belong to any organized political party. That's right; I'm a Democrat." 10:28 <@dasunt> Yep. 10:35 < aestetix> Corydon76: I think Gore Vidal would take issue with that statement. 10:36 <@Corydon76> Ah, now there's an intellectual we all miss. 10:36 <@Corydon76> along with William F Buckley Jr 10:36 < aestetix> I do miss them both. 10:36 <@dasunt> I don't mind Gore Vidal, but his books are overrated. 10:37 <@Corydon76> Gore Vidal would have made a fine statesman, if he didn't have that terrible misfortune of being gay in the wrong century 10:37 < aestetix> I'm not sure "gay" quite covers Vidal. 10:38 <@Corydon76> It is, by his own admission, the reason why he always stayed on the sidelines of politics 10:38 <@Corydon76> He was too open about it for a political opponent not to make it an issue during a campaign. 10:39 < aestetix> One look at his screenplays... like Calugula.... informs that "gay" is a massive, massive understatement 10:39 < aestetix> Caligula* 10:40 <@Corydon76> dasunt: His books may be overrated for today, but remember at the time they were published, they were beyond daring -- some might say reckless. 10:40 < aestetix> which books? 10:40 < aestetix> Do you mean Myra Breckenridge? 10:40 < aestetix> or his historical novels? 10:40 <@Corydon76> City and the Pillar? 10:42 < aestetix> Corydon76: I'd take either of them over what passes for political discourse today. 10:46 * dasunt sends aestetix to a death panel. 10:54 <@dasunt> Huh, Obamacare repeal, Trump and Kim making threats. Didn't we already do this a month ago? 10:55 <@Corydon76> Having deja vu all over again? 10:57 <@dasunt> Maybe we should put bright shiny toys in congress and distract them. 10:57 <@Corydon76> Or in other words, new unnecessary Defense boondoggles. 10:58 <@Corydon76> Is the F-35 ready yet? 10:58 < ^020d> Unified Cybersecurity Command. 10:59 < ^020d> Who needs literal shiny when you can have virtual shiny. 11:00 <@Corydon76> Maybe we could get Dolemite to get a bunch of politicians to sign another Cray. 11:03 <@Dolemite> The pen has been busy 11:03 <@Dolemite> Though supercomputing is the one area of science that he and congress are all in agreement on funding 11:04 <@Corydon76> ...as long as you don't mention that it's being used for climate change science? 11:08 <@Dolemite> I mention nothing to the politicians. They only talk to the folks way above my pay grade. 11:13 <@dasunt> Climate change science is a Chinese hoax, duh! 11:13 <@dasunt> See, the Chinese are switching to clean energy, which means they want the US to switch as well because... 11:13 * dasunt mumbles. 11:14 <@dasunt> ... and that will crash our economy, leading China to win! 11:16 <@Corydon76> dasunt: that would be hilarious if it weren't so close to reality. 11:23 <@dasunt> That is reality, or at least what some people think. 12:18 -!- K`Tetch [~no@24-178-141-147.dhcp.thtn.ga.charter.com] has joined #se2600 12:18 -!- K`Tetch [~no@24-178-141-147.dhcp.thtn.ga.charter.com] has quit [Changing host] 12:18 -!- K`Tetch [~no@unaffiliated/ktetch] has joined #se2600 13:11 -!- cordless [~cordless@c-73-88-170-178.hsd1.tn.comcast.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds] 13:47 -!- cordless_ [~tag4c@ranger1.cs.mtsu.edu] has joined #se2600 13:47 -!- cordless_ is now known as cordless 13:47 -!- mode/#se2600 [+o cordless] by ChanServ 14:15 < K`Tetch> GAH! Just had to ream out my local 'emergency management agency', because they put out a 'preperation tip' of 'make a digital copy of all your documents and put them on the cloud' 14:17 < K`Tetch> their response "well, if you don't 'trust' the cloud, then put it on a jump drive" 14:18 < xray> The get their security guidelines from Equifax 14:19 < K`Tetch> "The cloud" means "someone else's computer". 14:19 < K`Tetch> The Experian leak this month, the 2014 iCloud celebrity nude leaks; every major data loss and basis of identity theft in yhe last 7-10 years 14:19 < K`Tetch> thats how I started my response 14:22 <@dasunt> Solution - if you fear losing your personally identifying information, give it to me. 14:23 <@Corydon76> What we need is a waterproof crypt in the backyard, with a door powered by a hand crank that does a retinal scan. 14:25 < K`Tetch> I have a small floating fireproof strongbox. everything important goes in that 14:25 < K`Tetch> anything that can destroy that, is going to destroy any electronics under my control, and any computers not under my control are not gong to have copies of sensitive documents on them 14:26 < K`Tetch> worse, I'd just been talkign up the USPS here during Irma, which got amplified by doctorow 15:15 <@Corydon76> Some author had a plot device at one point whereby somebody had figured out how to get one of the package delivery systems to continuously get exceptions on packages, both for sending and receiving addresses, and just kept his document boxes rotating through the package system. When he wanted a particular document, he would submit an address correction into the system, and the box would be delivered... 15:17 <@Corydon76> Assuming you could keep the boxes relatively unscathed, that would be a pretty neat way to keep documents "stored" 15:25 <@brimstone> what's the phreaknic hotel room rate this year? 16:02 -!- TheDukh [~thedukh@2607:fcc8:ac80:d900:b590:dcae:fd48:2657] has quit [] 16:27 <@_NSAKEY> brimstone: I think it's 85/night. 16:53 -!- TheDukh [~thedukh@2607:fcc8:ac80:d900:a8bd:97e:2acc:69e] has joined #se2600 16:57 <@dasunt> So yesterday I huffed gas vapors and carb cleaner. 16:57 <@dasunt> Carb cleaner does not taste good, btw. 16:57 <@dasunt> Also, druggies really need to examine their life if they are doing this for fun. 16:58 -!- remoford [~remo_lapt@c-68-52-35-32.hsd1.tn.comcast.net] has joined #se2600 18:01 <@Dagmar> Ya think? 18:33 -!- rhia [~rhia@2601:601:4480:678e:82ee:73ff:fe64:1308] has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds] 18:42 -!- TheDukh [~thedukh@2607:fcc8:ac80:d900:a8bd:97e:2acc:69e] has quit [] 18:46 -!- rhia [~rhia@c-67-183-68-220.hsd1.wa.comcast.net] has joined #se2600 18:46 -!- mode/#se2600 [+o rhia] by ChanServ 20:07 -!- klixa-cloud [uid861@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-fwuovbqaurckvlug] has joined #se2600 20:07 -!- mode/#se2600 [+o klixa-cloud] by ChanServ 20:46 <@Catonic> LOL 22:37 -!- klixa-cloud [uid861@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-fwuovbqaurckvlug] has quit [Quit: Connection closed for inactivity] 23:50 -!- TheDukh [~thedukh@2607:fcc8:ac80:d900:a8bd:97e:2acc:69e] has joined #se2600 --- Log closed Wed Sep 20 00:00:52 2017
