05:56 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
07:05  * aestetix hugs Dolemite 
07:06 <@Dolemite> You know, if that crowd on January 6th was mostly people of color, the authorities would have laid down pepper spray like Agent Orange in Vietnam.
07:06 <@Dolemite> Instead, you see the rioters pepper spraying the cops 
07:06 <@Dolemite> That's just fucking crazy

07:06 < PigBot> The One Video to Watch From Last Night's Capitol Riot Hearing (at gizmodo.com) https://tinyurl.com/2arj6h87
07:08 < aestetix> I'm watching the full hearing right now
07:08 <@Dolemite> I watched bits of it last night
07:08 < aestetix> the fact that they have both ivanka trump and aaron barr on record saying the election was not rigged speaks volumes
07:09 < aestetix> it sounds like, instead of listening to everyone around him, he fired them all and replaced them with idiots who would do his bidding
07:09 <@Mirage> Given how much the 'good ol boy' attitude has permeated everything w/ regard to Trump and his cronies, I really don't see anything coming of this regardless
07:10 <@Dolemite> Well that's pretty much how he started, then when those original sycophants couldn't stomach it anymore, he fired them and replaced them with new sycophants
07:10 < aestetix> So far, it sounds like there might be a credible case for serious jailtime
07:10 <@Mirage> All the Trumpers and his enablers are just going to claim that they're skewing everything and it's all rigged to steal power
07:10 < aestetix> I learned about this movie 2000 Mules about the "stolen" election
07:11 < aestetix> I watched half of it, and turned it off, because I was losing track of all the places where they left out key details
07:11 <@Dolemite> Yeah, another Dinesh D'souza masterpiece
07:11 < aestetix> "the mules were wearing gloves to hide their fingerprints" or I dunno, maybe because of COVID-19?
07:12 < aestetix> If they had actually gotten like a dozen "mules" to go on record saying what they were doing and how, that would be totally different
07:12 < aestetix> But I don't think they even interviewed a single one
07:13 < aestetix> Plus they didn't interview any progressives
07:14 < aestetix> The way you make a case about something like that is to show support from people who normally would completely disagree with you
07:16 <@Mirage> IF they'd jumped on starting something like this immediately in the aftermath, then they would likely have gotten a much better chance of having higher profile republicans to actually speak truth as they did initially afterward vs having time to jump back on the party line as most have
07:21 < aestetix> to be honest
07:21 < aestetix> this hearing feels a bit like what congress should have done after watergate
07:38 <@Dolemite> Man, if the stock market falls any lower I'm going to owe money, despite the fact I already paid for all my stocks.   heh.
07:46 <@opticron> yeah, this is hurting
07:47 <@Mirage> As far as retirement goes, since we're not there yet and still contributing a sagging market just means that our money buys a little bit more each month.  Now, if we were of retirement age right now and depended on it that'd be different
07:47 <@Dolemite> Yes, I keep buying the dips, but then they dip even further
07:48 <@Dolemite> 2 weeks ago when RCL dropped into the mid 50s again, I bought enough to get me to 100 shares (if you own 100+ shares you get $100 of onboard credit with every booking you make, so that's already a $400 return just on what we have booked now)...   but now the stock is in the high 40s
07:49 <@Dolemite> I'm not touching any more Tesla stock until Elon gets a muzzle
07:54 <@Dolemite> Ok, I got 30 minutes into Wolf Hound before I had to just delete it from my fileserver.   It's that bad.
07:58 <@opticron> the muzzle is already there, he just chewed through it
07:59 <@Dolemite> Well, looking on the bright side, today is going to maximum that dividend reinvestment I got from Microsoft last night.
07:59 <@Dolemite> s/maximum/maximize
08:27 < aestetix> allright
08:27 < aestetix> I'm into the second part of the hearing.... where the two witnesses are speaking
08:27 < aestetix> at this point I think there is already sufficient evidence to declare proud boys and oathkeepers domestic terrorist groups
08:28 <@Dolemite> along with Q-anoners and Trump himself
08:28 < aestetix> I mena
08:28 < aestetix> for qanon the only one I know about is that cowboy guy
08:28 < aestetix> and it's so hard to take him seriously enough to call him a terrorist
08:30 <@Dolemite> It's hard for a rational person to take him seriously, but the whole Qanon movement is completely irrational and conspiracy theory laden
08:38 <@Mirage> It's also troublesome trying to get to the truth or even something that resembles it when the maniacally screaming minority is drowning everything out
09:29 <@Dolemite> Customer:  OMG, we need your help ASAP, you must drop everything!
09:30 <@Dolemite> Same Customer:  Hasn't responded to my request for clarification in the past 3.5 hours
09:30 < aestetix> Mirage: well I mean
09:30 < aestetix> the commitee has a video of the head of the proud boys and oathkeepers meeting in a parking garage and discussing strategy on jan 5th
09:31 < aestetix> and apparently buying some weapons and other things
09:31 < aestetix> I mean it's pretty clear cut to me
11:36 <@Mirage> Wife is being tailed through the house by a couple of our cats as she walks around with an open container of cat nip.
11:36 <@Dolemite> Well, uh, YEAH
11:38 < Evilpig> strages: ended up resetting a couple of chunks but there are definitely two ancient cities down there now attached to that tunnel.  This sign post here is where the tunnel splits to both of them. https://dynmap.wilpig.com/?worldname=world&mapname=flat&zoom=4&x=-504&y=64&z=-219

11:39 <@strages> nice, and you're right it's not that far from civilization
11:43 <@strages> ha!  I never looked at the end map before.  you can totally see the path I made
12:19 < aestetix> ok I got a question
12:19 < aestetix> is there evidence that the BLM riots of 2020 were planned out like the jan 6th stuff was?
12:20 < aestetix> because it is clear based on the testimony that jan 6th was planned and premeditated
12:20 < aestetix> which is very different from a bunch of angry rioters breaking things randomly
14:17 < Evilpig> strages: I poked around in the one a bit and found some reinforced blackstone.  my pick did nothing to it. guess I have some reading to do on the new block types
