<dlcusa> Music is powerful. Rachel Maddow just did a story of a small brass band interposing on a Proud Boys/Leftists altercation and defusing the situation.
<SiFuh> Hmmmm
<SiFuh> Hmm this is going to be fun. A friend from China will be in Malaysia 10th and 11th of September, and I will be going jungle 12th, 13th and 14th. Heh That's cutting it close
<remiliascarlet> SiFuh: Trimming cat claws is a lot easier, since their nails are transparent, so you actually see where the blood is. Dog nails on the other hand are opaque.
<remiliascarlet> SiFuh: Also, it seems like zorz might no longer be able to use IRC soon: https://x.com/Pirat_Nation/status/1951055276834168965
<SiFuh> remiliascarlet: That shouldn't affect IRC though
<remiliascarlet> Don't be too confident about that. Just look at the UK for example, they went from "you must show government ID in order to go online at all" to "VPNs should be banned, because it kills children" now to the establishment of an online thought police task force to make sure Brittons don't write mean Tweets, while still allowing migrants to stab people to death, rob businesses and individuals, and
<remiliascarlet> so on.
<SiFuh> remiliascarlet: Cats are easier. Just buy carpet. When the cat walks onto the carpet you pick it up by the back legs and drag it backwards. :-)
<SiFuh> remiliascarlet: I heard that the law might be revoked because of The Don.
<remiliascarlet> That won't work. Humans are stronger than cats, so they just let loose of that carpet.
<SiFuh> Pissed off with him anyway. US and Canada has a good deal going on. Not Trump wants to destroy the deal because Canada wants to recognize Palestine.
<remiliascarlet> SiFuh: That's a matter of wait and see. Now that the US is drafting the exact same bill.
<SiFuh> remiliascarlet: Trust me. It works. It's how we did our two cats back in the 80's
<SiFuh> remiliascarlet: One cat who hated being inside had to be put down because it had nose cancer. The other cat was killed by my neighbours dog.
<remiliascarlet> It doesn't work with my cat. If I try to drag him backwards, he just gives in.
<SiFuh> remiliascarlet: Probably likes you too much
<remiliascarlet> It's true that I treat him better than pretty much any other Japanese person does to their cats, and I'm the only one he's surrounded by.
<SiFuh> I don't remember giving the government my permission to protect me and keep me safe.
<SiFuh> remiliascarlet: Probably thinks you and he are family.
<remiliascarlet> I don't remember agreeing to having the government parent somebody else's children either.
<SiFuh> Apart from the 10 commandments. I think the only other law should be "It is illegal to establish any form of governing body, authority or monarchy"
<remiliascarlet> Oh shit, I just established a fascist dictatorship in my home...
<SiFuh> remiliascarlet: Did you read that webpage dlcusa sent yesterday?
<remiliascarlet> No, I wasn't available then.
<SiFuh> remiliascarlet: Here is a small snippet Four adults were arrested after being accused of abusing nine children in their Florida home by caging them with plywood under a bunk bed and spraying them in the face with vinegar as a form of punishment, authorities said Friday.
<SiFuh> The title is: 10 Examples That Show That Our Society Is Going Completely Insane
<remiliascarlet> SiFuh: "https://www.theregister.com/2025/07/23/brave_browse_block_microsoft_recall/" Oh wow, a tech related article that doesn't include 6 paragraphs about how bad Orange Man is, I'm surprised!
<remiliascarlet> SiFuh: I think I found the link.
<SiFuh> Hah, could have just asked
<remiliascarlet> I already found that link in the IRC history.
<SiFuh> remiliascarlet: You don't need to read the 10 examples in that article. Just stick your head out of the window and take a look around at everyone.
<remiliascarlet> "In America today, the violent lunatic walking next to you could snap at any moment. At a Walmart in Michigan, a man that was shopping in the grocery section suddenly pulled out a knife and started stabbing people…" I don't think I can see America out of my window from Japan.
<SiFuh> Hehe, we have things like that here
<remiliascarlet> Well, technically you can if you happen to live right next to a US military base.
<SiFuh> A few years back, someone thought it was a good idea to throw a grenade out the window onto the people people below
<SiFuh> There was also the grenande thrown into a bar.
<remiliascarlet> Reminds me of that quote about what democracy means, and then he says "but the people are retarded".
<SiFuh> On 28 June 2016, a bar located in Puchong, Selangor, Malaysia, was attacked by two people who threw a grenade into the bar while 20 customers were watching the UEFA Euro 2016 match between Italy and Spain. The attack injured eight people, including one foreigner from China.
<SiFuh> dlcusa: We met some Christians that want us to join them. They looked offended when they asked the wife who is teaching you to understand the bible and she had said my husband. They said it is wrong, you need an organization of Christians to help you to understand it. Huh? I looked at the wife and said "So God has made an instruction book but made it so no one can understand it? 1 Timothy 2:5" The wife
<SiFuh> laughed.
<dlcusa> SiFuh, such groups are expanding their own agendas--effectively cults.
<SiFuh> I see it
<dlcusa> remiliascarlet, it does seem the USA has been leading the way into complete insanity globally. Did you look around as SiFuh suggested, though?
<SiFuh> dlcusa: Life is funny. Got a call from China. Friend is going to MITEC. Last time I saw him we were both smacking around kindgeraten kids.
<SiFuh> He calls me and asks to meet me and I said "Hope you love the floor because you and I are sleeping on them for your stay"
<SiFuh> It's probably the funniest conversation I have ever had "Is it clean?" "It's Malaysia bro" "So it is dirty?" "You should bring dunny papper for your arse" "What? Why?" "Left hand is impolite here, it is the hand you use for washing your arse after you shit" "WHAT? Can't I just use it from the roll?" "What roll?"

<SiFuh> dlcusa: I didn't like it. Long winded nothing about nothing
<SiFuh> Could have written the entire page in less than 5 paragraphs.
<SiFuh> Instead it was an overly-long winded approach of self promotion
<zorz> :P
<dlcusa> SiFuh, I guess your folks weren't professional journalists like mine. YMMV.
<dlcusa> To be precise, 20th-Century journalists.
<zorz> dlcusa: journalist were always like this, the ones on the payroll...and the others on clean forehead!
