[02:42:31] * TheMightyBuzzard scratches his head
[02:44:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's recently come to my attention that the capitol police force numbers round about two thousand officers. not the DC police force but the police force answerable only to congress with no responsibilities or jurisdiction outside of a few buildings and their lawns.
[02:45:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> so why was the capitol invaded when they knew the protest was happening well in advance and could have had as many cops as protesters there?
[02:47:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean, you'd expect to at any given time have a quarter of the force on duty, half the force going to be on duty sometime that day, and another quarter on their day off or vacationing.
[02:48:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> so why did they number in the dozens instead of the hundreds that particular day?
[02:51:51] <progo> assuming all that's true, the "invasion" was obviously a conspiracy by someone else and not by the unarmed protesters
[02:52:40] <progo> don't try too hard to figure out the who and the why. you can't do anything about it
[02:53:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh i'm not particularly worried about it any more than i was when the capitol got stormed in 2018
[02:53:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's just kinda curious
[02:53:44] <progo> that was a "peaceful protest" says the media
[02:53:45] <progo> :^)
[02:54:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> personally, i generally greatly approve of folks reminding congress that the government should always fear its people
[02:54:54] <progo> anyway I think conspiracy theories go in #politics
[02:55:11] * TheMightyBuzzard shurgs
[02:55:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> not a conspiracy theory or even a theory. just something that crossed my mind. probably never ponder upon it again because i don't really care.
[02:56:51] <progo> CIA invented the term "conspiracy theory" as a pejorative to discredit people who didn't accept official narratives
[02:57:00] <progo> I prefer to use the term literally myself
[02:57:13] <progo> and I HATE it when people say "conspiracy" when they mean "conspiracy theory"
[02:57:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> also, it depends on the conspiracy theory. "poettering is a secret microsoft employee" is perfectly fine here.
[02:57:31] <progo> it belittles actual conspiracies in common knowledge
[02:57:54] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: Yes, the response to the insurrection seemed dramatically smaller than the force that was brought to bear for the BLM protest
[02:58:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, having trouble grocking that sentence, rephrase?
[02:59:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> nevermind, brain finally worked it out.
[02:59:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, which is what makes me curious
[02:59:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean, pelosi was in charge of fully half of congress during both. if she'd wanted cops there there would have been cops there. they're HER cops.
[03:00:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> like, literally not even part of the executive branch.
[03:00:24] <Bytram> it was almost as if TPTB wanted the insurrectionists to be able to interfere with the vote counting!
[03:00:32] <progo> perhaps in 2021 she wanted to make a certain group look bad
[03:00:52] <Bytram> s/TPTB/APTW/
[03:00:52] <SedBot> <Bytram> it was almost as if APTW wanted the insurrectionists to be able to interfere with the vote counting!
[03:01:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> emerge > apt*
[03:01:22] <Bytram> whodathunkit?
[03:02:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> austrailian pro tour of wakeboarding?
[03:02:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> those bastards!
[03:02:14] <Bytram> Could not possibly have anything to do with "stop the steal"!
[03:02:20] <Bytram> A Power That Was
[03:02:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> trump has literally zero authority over that police force
[03:02:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> had
[03:02:42] <Bytram> exPoTUS
[03:02:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> it is entirely controlled by congress
[03:02:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> answerable to nobody but them
[03:03:10] <Bytram> which branch?
[03:03:15] <Bytram> House? Senate?
[03:03:19] <progo> Trump and crazy ass Alex Jones were telling the crowd "we're gonna march over there peacefully" and that wasn't reported
[03:03:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> both
[03:03:52] <progo> btw, did you know Alex Jones was claiming in the days leading up to the event that HE was "leading" the biggest protest ever?
[03:04:00] <progo> that statement is gone from his site
[03:04:12] <progo> and AFAICT he was leading a few of his nutjob followers and not much else
[03:04:36] <progo> (anyway the Alex Jones angle is a side show. I just thought it was funny)
[03:04:42] <Bytram> Because there were several times when Trump said quite the contrary -- we gotta stop the steal
[03:04:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> so, yeah, it is kinda curious who'd keep them from having any real presence there since the head of either chamber could have called in as many as they like
[03:05:03] <Bytram> hold on
[03:06:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean, you would have heard a mighty cry of "fuuuuuuck..." from the cops who got called in to pull a double but you still could have had 1500 on duty without calling anyone in on their day off even
[03:07:26] <progo> and they had the National Guard sleeping in a garage with no toilets in 40°F weather
[03:07:37] <progo> because no one thought to book rooms or bring tents for THE ARMY
[03:07:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> feeding them raw chicken and food with metal slivers in it too apparently
[03:07:54] <Bytram> never mind all the other Police and National Guard and I'm sure there's more
[03:08:17] <progo> how the hell do we deploy soldiers without sleeping arrangements?!
[03:08:20] <Bytram> Police == Washington DC Police
[03:08:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> right, it's not like DC is without cops in addition to the capitol police
[03:08:55] <Bytram> isn't there yet anther bunch for all the monuments and parks?
[03:08:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> there could literally have been more cops than protesters
[03:09:05] <Bytram> easly
[03:09:37] <progo> hey were obviously ordered to stand down so the instigators among the protest could burn the capitol down
[03:09:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> prolly. just don't make the mistake of confusing the tomb of the unknown for something you can screw with like the capitol
[03:10:09] <progo> inside the capitol most of the crowd was shouting at some assholes in the crowd to not destroy everything
[03:10:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> weren't obviously anything. could very well have been intense stupidity. i'd kinda like to know but not bad enough to find someone to ask.
[03:10:55] <Bytram> yep, saw a "documentary" on TotUS -- they don't take no (^)&*^%%
[03:11:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> dude, they're soldiers that are not allowed to cuss. for the rest of their lives.
[03:11:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> they take that shit serious like a heart attack
[03:13:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> either way, i like seeing congress get its cage rattled. it should happen more often. don't matter for what reason really.
[03:14:35] * Bytram thought he had downloaded Trump's 01/06 speech -- have a transcript -- can't find video
[03:14:48] <progo> I wonder why
[03:15:08] <progo> oh, thought you had downloaded. nm
[03:15:11] <progo> you're just old :^)
[03:15:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh no! you'll have to finish it in a minute and a half instead of twenty!
[03:15:50] <Bytram> jst lv t ll th vwls!
[03:16:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> video should have either kitties or titties. text and maybe pictures otherwise.

[03:18:00] <Bytram> ^^^ that looks like it
[03:18:16] <progo> that title looks like opinion, not an uncut recording of what he said
[03:18:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, he may be A tit but he's not plural tits
[03:20:49] * Bytram remembers watching the speech, and I generally do not watch anything w/o downloading it first and then watching the local copy
[03:21:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> but i've seen all the blah blah blah. and i counted the times he said "peaceful and patriotic", which a whole bunch of people to this day ignore the existence of and/or claim dogwhistle
[03:22:53] <progo> speaking of dog whistles, Fauci or the new health minister or someone like that flashed the "ok" symbol which is supposed to be some … deplorable something
[03:23:07] <progo> people who see dog whistles aimed at someone else are usually making it up or lying
[03:23:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> frankly, anyone who has to resort to claiming dogwhistle to hold up their argument should immediately and summarily be ignored. they're either lying or an idiot.
[03:23:43] <progo> exactly
[03:24:27] <Bytram> devil advocate hat donned. So, there is no such thing as dogwhistling?
[03:24:36] <progo> yes
[03:24:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> doesn't scale
[03:25:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> works great in very small groups. pretty well in just small groups. not very well at all in any group that will accept all comers.
[03:26:26] <progo> doesn't work by people who got riled up by the Internet and joined a protest where no one knows each other and there's no command structure
[03:27:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> example: inside jokes that aren't fit for public consumption can be told by only speaking the punchline
[03:27:10] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Digital Communications Regulation - https://sylnt.us - legislators-protecting-us-from-bad-things
[03:27:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> but everyone has to be on the same page
[03:27:46] <Bytram> send the message out to 330 million americans. 90% are not even watching, 90% of those who are watching are not paying attention, and of the remaining 1%... 99% might think it's a bunch of hoohey!... How many fold have bought in?
[03:28:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> dunno. too tired to math.
[03:28:18] <Bytram> s/fold/folk/
[03:28:18] <SedBot> <Bytram> send the message out to 330 million americans. 90% are not even watching, 90% of those who are watching are not paying attention, and of the remaining 1%... 99% might think it's a bunch of hoohey!... How many folk have bought in?
[03:28:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> but, yeah, grassroots conspiracies do not work at scale
[03:28:56] <Bytram> 33,000 gullible and motivated wackos
[03:29:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> 33k of the same opinion. you forgot the laziness and cowardice factors.
[03:29:51] <Bytram> invite 'em to the capital. if 90% can't/won't make it, that still leaves 3,300
[03:30:53] <Bytram> and you have a bunch of others who are motivated for any number of other reasons
[03:31:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, hey, now that we've finally got congress behind a fence topped with razor wire and patrolled by guards, can we make it permanent and keep them there?
[03:31:19] <progo> walls don't work
[03:31:29] <progo> hey how come we're not calling that CHAZ or The Forbidden City?
[03:31:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> mine keep the rain and wind out pretty well
[03:32:00] <Bytram> heck change that 90% to 99%, you'd still have 330 who would likely have tried to personally encourage others to join them, too.
[03:32:09] <progo> the forbidden city's wall (in DC) is permanent yes
[03:32:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> and keep folks from rushing the door every time i take a shower
[03:32:38] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: s/the/for the/
[03:32:39] <SedBot> <Bytram> <TheMightyBuzzard> and keep folks from rushing for the door every time i take a shower

[03:33:09] <Bytram> or..
[03:33:13] <Bytram> mushy tushy?
[03:33:35] <Bytram> whatevs... time for me to get to pushing out stories.
[03:33:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's hick for Touché
[03:34:11] <progo> keep the politics out of the blog or else the commenters will get unruly
[03:34:12] <Bytram> I ain't gonna reach 10,000 by just hanging 'round here and chatting with you all

[05:47:56] <progo> I was about to ask if people read journals and oh lookie! 128 comments on Runaway1956's previous entry. wow
[05:48:18] <progo> I could never get deep into web forums. UI always feels so klunky compared to nntp and the like
[05:48:35] <Runaway1956> Some of those comments are complaints about being forced to read my journal entry, LOL
[05:48:39] <progo> Runaway1956: "neanderthal" might be a good political party name. the original, less corrupted humans
[05:48:49] <progo> those who work and socialize naked faced
[05:49:02] <progo> "forced" -- how's that work? :^)

[05:49:48] <Runaway1956> Harry Potter can probably explain it better.

[05:51:42] <progo> it's also a cloaked ad for a seminar, but no pressure if you just read the novel

[08:04:37] <chromas> "We were shooting on Broadway near Astor Place during the 5pm end of day rush hour. There were thousands of people on the street, using cross walks and going from one place to another. Jack yells, “Action”—the tow truck driver peels out of the parking spot. There is 40ft of heavy chain that is dragging behind the tow truck with large hooks on the back, unsecured. As the tow truck quickly picks up speed, these chains go airborne and
[08:04:37] <chromas> start swinging around wildly. He rounded the corner with hundreds of unaware pedestrians crossing the street with the chains swinging wildly, hitting signposts and poles with a tremendous crack as the truck sped past. It was a miracle that no one was decapitated."
[08:10:50] <chromas> “The solar car was built by me and another engineer, the solar car actually worked. The car was a small Toyota, that worked with solar power and salt water. The energy from the solar power and salt water creates hydrogen and the car could drive with out any gasoline. My partner who built that car with me took it to a car show. after that, he claimed that people wanted to kill him and he got into a car wreck in the Bronx with the
[08:10:50] <chromas> original solar car. After he came out of the hospital, there was no record of the accident, and the car disappeared. He was so scared he took his 7 children and moved back to Puerto Rico! The prop that you see in the movie was built by me.”

[08:29:50] <chromas> Assuming the guy's story was true
[09:02:19] <progo> I missed a meetup at IBM at Astor Place near Broadway because their fucking address doesn't make any sense
[09:02:23] <progo> Astor Place is a fucking street
[09:02:51] <progo> the building has an address on that street but it was like 100 meters, traveling by street, away from actually being on Astor Place
[09:03:15] <progo> Microsoft has an 11 Times Square address wchich is not a street
[09:03:20] <SoyGuest93544> "place" is a road type
[09:03:33] <SoyGuest93544> I used to live on "Portugal Place"
[09:03:41] <SoyGuest93544> never lived in Portugal
[09:03:50] <progo> yes. there is a street segment called Astor Place. IBM's building is nowhere near it, but the address is "___ Astor Place"
[09:04:26] <SoyGuest93544> so you don't have a problem with "Astor Place" being a street, then?
[09:04:48] <progo> chromas: did anyone get in trouble for that chain of death incident?
[09:05:20] <progo> no, I have a problem with front doors for addresses being on a completely different street segment, and having no large sign over the door to explain itself
[09:05:26] <SoyGuest93544> Then why the fucking swearing?
[09:05:34] <progo> I do that
[09:05:43] <chromas> progo: I didn't see any mention of it
[09:07:21] <progo> mostly I'm mad at organizers of public events for not giving directions to a door that can't be found by standing on a street corner and staring at the right direction
[09:07:28] <chromas> I was watching an RLM Best of the Worst with the movie "Robot in the Family" and someone linked that Tumblr page in the comments
[09:07:48] <progo> ha ha
[09:08:03] <progo> I started to watch Lost in Space. looks very good and VERY expensive
[09:08:09] <progo> it's a wonder it lasted as long as it did
[09:08:14] <progo> I need to continue watching
[09:08:26] <chromas> The new one's kinda ghey tho
[09:08:28] <progo> 3 seasons like Star Trek
[09:08:44] <chromas> Dr Antagonist is always ruining thing for no reason
[09:08:44] <progo> eh, I saw it. it's good. I think I'll like the old one better after I watch more episodes
[09:09:13] <chromas> Haven't seen season two yet
[09:09:34] <progo> the first episode of the original series look like they spent a whole budget for a season of a drama, on one episode
[09:09:49] <progo> of course much of the effects and props and sets could be re-used throughout the season
[09:10:30] <chromas> I haven't seen the original but I saw the SGI-advertising movie
[09:11:34] <chromas> Still better than Star Trek Picard
[09:11:44] <progo> I saw that and I don't know what I saw
[09:11:55] <progo> the story design was a hot mess
[09:12:15] <progo> and the incorporeal computer consoles were absolutely insane. worse than minority report
[09:13:24] <SoyGuest93544> Never seen the originals, nor the movie, nor the new series. I like a bit of space opera though, I might check it out, thanks!
[09:14:00] <progo> watch out in the first episode of Lost in Space for "you're no good at that because you're a GIRL!"
[09:14:10] <chromas> There's a bunch of sci-fi movies on youtube. like the old ones where nothing happens for the whole movie
[09:14:26] <chromas> but more modnererr

[15:02:42] <boru> They've been like that for a while. I blame this machine learning AI crap.
[15:03:21] <inz> Next we'll need to go back to link libraries.
[15:03:22] <boru> Similarly so with their recaptcha shite as well.
[15:03:28] <boru> Likely, we will.
[15:03:46] <inz> Too bad that most sites have such poor search, that it is much more productive to search the sites using goggle

[15:54:44] <chromas> "Since Seresto flea and tick collars were introduced in 2012, the EPA has received incident reports of at least 1,698 related pet deaths. Overall, through June 2020, the agency has received more than 75,000 incident reports related to the collars, including nearly 1,000 involving human harm."
[15:59:45] <Runaway1956> Whoda thunk it? Introducing poisons into your and/or your pet's environment might have unforeseen consequences.
[16:01:09] <Runaway1956> It might be better if your pet sleeps near an infrared lamp, positioned over a bowl of water with dish soap in it, which entices fleas and ticks to jump toward the heat, and drown.
[16:06:03] <Bytram> gtg. laters!
[16:42:32] <SoyGuest93544> I would suggest a film of detergent on the top, to break down the surface tension and ensure the fleas drown, but the dog might drink it and froth at the mouth, and then we'd have to put it down for having rabies.
