[00:48:08] <Runaway1956> Hank the Tank exonerated with DNA evidence?
[00:49:37] <Runaway1956> Turns out there is a gang of girl bears committing crimes that were blamed on Hank!
[00:49:45] <Runaway1956> That's how women are . . .

[01:24:01] <Runaway1956> I didn't realize you were EF when you were here earlier
[01:24:28] <SoyCow8846> Hahahah, oh fuck it's real. Glad to see that a TV show, whose creator is on Epstein's flight logs, is taking sides in this bullshit war.
[01:25:50] <SoyCow8846> Perhaps all those "eye-jays" working in media, like Matt Groening, should pick up arms and fly to Ukraine themselves, rather than asking Goyim to die for the "Eye-Jay/"
[01:25:52] <Runaway1956> The talking heads still don't understand that it's real
[01:26:14] <Runaway1956> They think sanctions might save Ukraine and/or the Ukraine government
[01:26:48] <SoyCow8846> America ain't gonna do shit. We already have lots of people ready to take up arms against our own government.
[01:28:13] <SoyCow8846> Actually, what America should do, is tell all those Mexicans who snuck across the border that they can die for the Eye-Jay or be deported, kinda like they did after 9/11 when the Army and Marines were recruiting gang-bangers, dope dealers, other convicted felons, and yes, illegals.
[01:29:43] <SoyCow8846> But back to the Twitter link: you gotta admit, what they did with Marge and the Ukraine flag was pretty clever.
[01:29:53] <Runaway1956> ain't no future in your speil EF - Democrats and some Republicans have already sold out to Mexican cartels, and to Chinese industry
[01:29:57] <SoyCow8846> Blue (hair) on top, Yellow on bottom
[01:30:08] <Runaway1956> and it didn't require any Jews to influence them
[01:30:27] <SoyCow8846> But it DID take a fifth-column to enable the mass selling-out
[01:30:57] <SoyCow8846> Wanna take a guess on (((who))) that fifth-column is, and how we would benefit if it were gutted from the country?

[01:33:48] <tedious> Runaway1956: I heard on one of my alt news shows that the reason that neighborhood has so many bear problems is they passed an ordinance requiring all bear boxes to look nice.
[01:34:26] <tedious> So lots of residents just got rid of them and the bears learned to raid their garbage cans.
[01:34:47] <Runaway1956> It's pretty much a proven thing, if you don't have food available, the bears will go elsewhere
[01:35:18] <Runaway1956> Everyone in the neighborhood should go on a diet, and stop throwing garbage in the trash

[03:25:08] <SoyCow8847> War as a distraction from domestic problems? Maybe in the pre-internet era, BAHAHAHAHHA
[03:25:45] <SoyCow8847> What I am hoping for is the destruction of globalism, and a return to isolationism.
[03:26:24] <SoyCow8847> It will be painful, but ultimately beneficial, as it will depend on the tribe's strength to succeed.
[03:27:11] <SoyCow8847> And unlike WW2, lying Eye-Jays will not lie America into foreign wars.
[03:28:25] <SoyCow8847> While birthright citizenship may not be stopped quickly, there are workarounds. Such as: "You and one or both parents must be born citizens"
[03:29:05] <SoyCow8847> Or, "You and your parents both must have to have been citizens for X number of years for preferential treatment" etc.
[03:30:39] <SoyCow8847> Easy to implement if states decide that the Federal government is illegitimate.

[03:56:08] <tedious> Now you've got me wondering if I was making typos because I was having a snack earlier.
[03:56:21] <AzumaHazuki> no, i mean you're sucking...er...up
[03:56:37] <tedious> Not really.

[18:52:29] <tedious> Anything newsworthy happen with ukraine lately?
[18:53:09] <FatPhil> nah, just the usual commie invasion
[18:54:33] <tedious> I thought russia wasn't communist anymore?
[18:54:40] <tedious> #weather kiev
[18:54:41] <MrPlow> TS211984, Khreshchatyk Street, Клов, Kyiv, Ukraine - Today: "Mostly cloudy throughout the day." 45/32F, Humidity: 77%, Precip: 23%, Wind ~8mph. Sun: "Mostly cloudy throughout the day." 40/27F, Humidity: 80%, Precip: 20%, Wind ~6mph. Mon: "Mostly cloudy throughout the day." 39/29F, Humidity: 70%, Precip: 5%, Wind ~10mph.
[18:55:52] <tedious> So much for waiting for the cold of winter to make it easy for the russians to drive their tanks over the frozen ground.
[19:00:44] <FatPhil> well, technically, yeah, but pravda isn't pravda any more either.
[19:10:21] <tedious> Well I guess if nothing's happening I can enjoy a nice day off from bad news.
[19:24:56] <janrinok> tedious. There were attacks on Kiyv from 3 directions last night - all were defeated by defence forces/volunteers. A cruise missile hit a civilian appt block, 2 dead 'several' wounded. Russian forces are within km of Kyiv and are expected to carry out another attempt to capture the capital tonight.
[19:26:17] <janrinok> Over 100,000 have now crossed from Ukraine to Poland, Moldova, Slovakia, and Hungary.
[19:28:16] <janrinok> Russian Defence Ministry claim NO Russian losses or injuries, and no loss of assets. Patently untrue as there are lots of verified videos showing Russian damage and Ukraine claims to have shot down several aircraft, including one troop transporter.
[19:30:20] <janrinok> Assessment is that Russia/Putin are surprised by the amount of resistance and are experiencing logistical problems. However, Russia still has significant reserves that haven't yet entered into the battle.
[19:31:01] <janrinok> There is a curfew in place until Monday am - but I am not sure of the timings.
[19:45:13] <Bytram> to suddenly wake to bombs going off around you, hastily gather a few things, and scramble to get someplace else, where ever that may be -- that must be utterly terrifying!
[19:46:17] <Bytram> I cannot imagine the fear and terror. My hears goes out to them.
[19:48:38] <janrinok> TV reporting would have upset some viewers, without a doubt
[19:49:01] <Bytram> agreed
[19:49:46] <Bytram> what it you had a loved one in that area? Yikes!
[19:50:22] <tedious> Wow ok that's not at all what I was expecting.
[19:51:10] <janrinok> Videos 'leaked' yesterday evening from Russia showed Topol-M nuclear missiles moving westwards. Impossible to verify when the images were actually taken so could have been an attempt to apply more pressure on the West. Sat images will help resolve that.
[19:51:40] <tedious> The last I heard before I stopped paying attention was that russia had blown up lots of ukrainian military assets and bases and there wasn't much left to fight back outside of kiev.
[19:52:46] <Bytram> :sadface:
[19:53:11] <tedious> That's what I see just now from the last paragraph here. https://tass.com
[19:53:14] <systemd> ^ 03Zelensky asserts he received ‘complete support’ from Indian PM
[19:53:43] <tedious> So of course everybody's lying and the truth is somewhere in between buried in propaganda.
[19:54:50] <janrinok> agreed
[19:54:56] <Bytram> up too early today
[19:55:06] <Bytram> nap time
[19:55:15] <tedious> When you said 100,000 crossed into other countries do you mean civilians fleeing?
[19:55:16] <janrinok> ... and I'm just about to go to bed! Laters!
[19:55:29] <Bytram> janrinok: tedious: good to see you both!
[19:55:36] <Bytram> LOL!
[19:55:36] <janrinok> tedious, yes, and that is a v conservative estimate
[19:55:47] <tedious> Bytram: Nap well. :)
[19:55:55] <janrinok> u2
[19:56:05] <tedious> janrinok: Ok whew I thought you meant russian troops were invading half of europe.

[19:56:44] <tedious> I sure hadn't heard anything about that and I was afraid that I was trapped inside a propaganda bubble so strong that I'd beter just give up now.
[19:57:31] <janrinok> I should have written that more clearly - I apologise
[19:57:47] <chromas> they want you to believe their propaganda game is that strong
[19:57:54] <tedious> That's a good lesson in the fog of war news reporting.
[19:58:06] <tedious> chromas: Good point.
[19:58:41] <tedious> I suppose we're lucky that anything is getting out considering that the country is technically a war zone.
[19:59:19] <tedious> And even before that I've heard that at least 4 newspapers were shut down by the zelensky administration.
[20:00:02] <janrinok> lots of western new teams in Ukraine, but strict censorship in Russia. TV cannot call it an invasion or attack and must not report images that have not been approved by Def Ministry in Moscow
[20:01:01] <tedious> Yeah I can't tell if that's naked emperor levels of censorship or just that putin's people are better at modern war than everybody else.
[20:01:16] <tedious> Since modern war is now cyber and info war.
[20:01:51] <janrinok> so, for now at least, you can rest easy and we will wait and see what tomorrow brings.
[20:02:40] <janrinok> I'll see you all tomorrow!
[20:02:42] <tedious> If it's accurate that russia has destroyed most of ukraine's military outside of kiev then the sooner everybody knows that and the current government surrenders the sooner the rest of the world can demand new elections and kick out the russian troops.
[20:03:15] <tedious> Good night we'll pick it up tomorrow.
[20:03:30] <janrinok> The BBC has news teams all over Ukraine. They have only captured 1 city. and the territorial gains and much less than claimed.
[20:03:52] <tedious> That's good right?
[20:03:52] <janrinok> *gains are much less
[20:04:16] <tedious> Fewer civilian casualties if all they're doing is blowing up military bases.
[20:04:28] <janrinok> well I think so - but others might see it differently
[20:04:59] <janrinok> the fear is that Putin will get frustrated by the lack of progress and order a more brutal assault.
[20:05:06] <tedious> I may be giving putin too much credit for honesty but that seems to be in line with what some of the analysts were claiming that he was saying he would do.
[20:05:26] <janrinok> ... but I must go. See you tomorrow
[20:05:38] <tedious> Ie no occupation just a quick strike to eliminate the nato threat.
[20:05:45] <tedious> Sorry I can't stop typing. :)
[20:06:02] <tedious> Ok I'm going to take my hands away from the keyboard and just read some news articles.

[21:28:25] <tedious> So it's not just me.
[21:29:05] <tedious> Sanctions are only alternative to 'third world war,' Biden says
[21:35:33] <Bytram> tedious: I can load: https://www.rt.com
[21:35:35] <systemd> ^ 03DDOS-GUARD
[21:36:18] <Bytram> want me to copy/pasted it here?
[21:36:33] <FatPhil> I can load RT too from here, but I'm not sure I want to.
[21:39:49] <Bytram> It's 6 paragraphs
[21:40:26] <Bytram> who wants it?
[21:42:37] <Bytram> back in 5m
[21:47:46] <tedious> I just wanted to see what text they had so I could try to find it somewhere else.

[21:59:50] <Bytram> first 2 para have italics; then "Two days earlier, Biden imposed sanctions on multiple Russian banks, several individuals, and Russia’s tech imports.On Friday, the White House announced it would follow these up with another round of sanctions targeting Russian President Vladimir Putin, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, and members of the Security Council of Russia."
[22:32:47] <halibut> sqrlgrrl (and AzumaHazuki, if you are reading logs, and anybody else, really):
[22:32:48] <halibut> I saw the comments about the server being radioactive garbage, although really it is mostly just this channel (and not all the time).
[22:32:51] <halibut> The owners of this channel have a reason for keeping a really low barrier to entry to this channel. Whether or not you agree with it, it is a reason, and it is their channel.
[22:32:54] <halibut> It also has the unfortunate side effect of sometimes resulting in ``radioactive garbage''.
[22:32:57] <halibut> Really, this channel is being used for two purposes, which are at odds with one another (easy entry for reporting, and general discussions).
[22:33:00] <halibut> Please, feel free to help split those two purposes by helping build critical mass in #nicechat.
[22:33:03] <halibut> Or, if you do not trust the owners there (or are not given the privileges you want, or if you just feel like it), start your own channel and advertise it here.
[22:33:06] <halibut> I'd join, if you'd have me (halibut do not offer much meat, but we are fairly nontoxic; just don't invite our friend fugu).
[22:33:09] <halibut> You can set up whatever permissions you want; invite-only, registered only, kick/ban users you do not want, invite users you do want, whatever.
[22:33:12] <halibut> I should warn you, though. People who have used IRC for years seem to think joining a new channel is too high of a barrier.
[22:33:15] <halibut> Given that, I find myself agreeing that asking people who have never used IRC before (and are not likely to use it again) to register in order to report a problem is too much of a barrier.
[22:33:19] <halibut> (I agree it is a small barrier, but it is much larger than getting veteran IRC users to try a new channel, and I see how difficult it is to surmount that.)
[22:33:22] <halibut> </spam> (I will stop spamming the channel now.)
[22:58:31] <FatPhil> As someone who's been using IRC for 29 years, nope, joining a new channel is not a barrier at all.
[22:58:38] <Runaway1956> I also get the DDOS Guard when clicking the RT link
[22:58:45] <Runaway1956> never saw it before
[22:59:24] <FatPhil> maybe RT think that the US will be launching psychoterrortech attacks against them, so are shields up?
[22:59:49] <FatPhil> But us euros can waltz straight through?
[23:12:09] <Runaway1956> Euros can't waltz, who you tryna fool?
[23:14:17] <Runaway1956> I made a bet with Dmitry a long time ago, and never paid him.
[23:14:39] <Runaway1956> If I were to send $5 to Russia now, would the CIA and FBI come get me?
