12:12 <@Dagmar> I begin to think there's something unwholesome about the relationship between the city and the parking company
12:13 <@Dagmar> When they took over the lots the prices went up and as an added bonus, apparently their system is so shit it's been sending people violation fines for simply driving _through_ the parking lot, even though they say there's supposed to be a 15-minute grace period
12:42 < Evilpig> there's a few different shady parking management companies in town
12:43 < Evilpig> premier parking is probably one of the worst.  those douchebags sold my email address or had a breakin and had my email address stolen.

12:45 < Evilpig> I gave the parking meter the address of premierparking@wilpig.com it's kinda hard to say i gave that out to someone else to get spam from
12:45 < Evilpig> and to have a misspelling of that and get DIFFERENT spam on that one, it says they sold the address
14:06 <@Dagmar> Do tell...
14:07 <@Dagmar> I would loooove to bust them on something like that
14:08 <@Dagmar> It would be terrible if it got out that their systems were compromised and they either didn't notice or didn't bother to tell anyone that their personal information was compromised
14:08 <@Dagmar> Just terrible

14:28 <@eryc> video of the balloon getting shot down
15:00 <@Dagmar> Should be interesting to see what happens after they look at it and find out it was just a fancy weather balloon
16:18 < Evilpig> fuck that,  it's gonna end up being some maker's group in taiwan lost their low earth orbit project and knew the shit they'd get if someone traced it back to them
16:19 < Evilpig> the real question is what is our government currently doing that they're distracting the rest of the country with a trumped up balloon story with?
16:21 <@Dagmar> Trump still seriously considering running in 2024
16:22 <@Dagmar> Trump *still* not being the subject of a criminal indictment or criminal charges
16:22 <@Dagmar> The GOP stacking house committees with yes men as hard as they can to ensure that no bills can make it through both chambers, or even make it before the House, that doesn't meet with their exclusive approval
16:23 <@Dagmar> Like, there's *lots* of things going on in government that this could merely be a distracton for
16:23 <@Dagmar> The committee stacking thing is _insane_
16:23 <@Dagmar> They are very seriously looking to shut down the entirety of the federal government in a tantrum
16:24 <@Dagmar> Oh, and that they're also opening investigations into whether or not it was inappropriate to treat angry parents making terroristic threats against school board members and engaging in assaults as a matter of domestic terrorism
16:25 <@Dagmar> They feel that these investigations were really politically-oriented harassment because IT'S APPARENTLY PERFECTLY FINE FOR PEOPLE DO TO THAT PSYCHO SHIT
16:25 <@Dagmar> TL;DR: Every fucking thing the GOP is doing
17:20 <@Dagmar> My question right now is why shoot the goddamn thing down while it was over the ocean
17:21 <@Dagmar> If it crossed the entire continent before they shot it down, that seems quite mad
17:38 < Evilpig> agreed,  if they were that worried about it surely there was some place isolated enough along its travels that they could have shot it down without collateral damage
18:47 <@Dagmar> I figure they could have just shot a hole in it with a laser and waited for it to come low enough to grab
19:09 <@Dagmar> Judging from the footage it looks like they maybe put a weak charge in the missile they used
19:18 <@Dagmar> It does appear that although Biden greenlit shooting it down, it was the military who opted to wait until it was over the water before risking worrying about where it might land
19:28 <@eryc> i saw it get shot
19:29 <@eryc> never seen a missile before
19:36 <@Dagmar> Now they're going to have to put a balloon sticker on the side of the jet
