DTLA is a nightmare dude
[02:31:00]
brandon
It took an hour to get to the other side of Los Angeles
[02:31:22]
brandon
It’ll be down for about a month they said I think
[02:34:09]
brandon
“This is an opportunity for Angelenos to take advantage of the public transportation system that we have today,” Mayor Karen Bass said during a news conference Tuesday announcing the fare changes. A helicopter tour provided evidence, the mayor said, that downtown streets during the evening rush hour were an “absolute parking lot” in the fire’s aftermath.
[02:34:35]
brandon
I mean she isn’t wrong
[02:34:43]
KnownSyntax
Looks like Cali was too busy up north with the Chinese Leader
[02:34:49]
KnownSyntax
Cleaning up the streets just for him to appear
[02:35:12]
brandon
It’d be great if more native Californians took public transit
[02:35:23]
KnownSyntax
I think LA needs to clean up a lot as well, so many roads blocked by homeless. Even when I was near SPE last it was quicker to take side streets than the highway when the 10 was up
[02:35:25]
brandon
Fuck our packed freeways
[02:35:49]
KnownSyntax
The downfall you also have is the toll roads. They aren’t used at 70% capacity so that takes lanes out of the highway in spots
[02:36:01]
brandon
Yeah we aren’t fond of them either
[02:36:27]
brandon
Didn’t know you could privatize public roads
[02:37:27]
brandon
But even then they have a freeway in Canada with 10 lanes and even that is bumper to bumper
[02:37:43]
brandon
More lanes isn’t the answer,l
[02:38:06]
brandon
Buses and train routes need to be expanded
[02:38:18]
KnownSyntax
It's better efficient drivers or auto driving cars for those segments. Too many bottle necking when there is a cop or accident slowing things down even worse.
[02:38:24]
brandon
The automotive industry stunted potential growth
[02:38:37]
KnownSyntax
The issue with busses is the time it takes to get somewhere not on the same route
[02:38:47]
brandon
We could have a system like Europe but no
[02:39:24]
KnownSyntax
Most of the highways were a huge afterthought is the problem. Then the city expands and you can’t redo a highway to make it a better route or so
[02:39:39]
KnownSyntax
AZ is facing the same, expanding the lanes when possible or upping the speed limit
[02:39:44]
brandon
that is another issue yeah
[02:40:08]
brandon
Problem is needing foresight to know where to place them
[02:40:24]
KnownSyntax
Which is a shot in the dark half the time.
[02:40:30]
brandon
But we don’t so you end up like la with a stupidly laid out system
[02:42:16]
KnownSyntax
LA isn’t the worst I've seen, but could do way better
[02:42:36]
KnownSyntax
Like a lot of the 3 lane highways or highways under construction with a lane or more blocked are hella annoying out there
[02:42:56]
brandon
The 71 is getting a facelift fyi
[02:43:00]
KnownSyntax
Even the I-8. It's been down to a lane in the mountains going to the Casino from SD for YEARS. The same God damn section
[02:43:19]
brandon
Hopefully the 57 is next 😬
[02:43:55]
KnownSyntax
Hopefully, so your “tax dollars are going to work”™️
[02:44:10]
KnownSyntax
Or whatever slogan CA has for their work signs
[02:44:37]
brandon
Yeah sure and a percentage of the lotto goes to our public education system 🙄
[02:44:46]
brandon
That’s it yeah lol
[02:45:07]
KnownSyntax
They always say that but I highly doubt it, or it's an extremely small %
[02:45:10]
brandon
“Your tax dollars at work”
[02:45:34]
KnownSyntax
I've seen too many of those signs on the 10 or 8 I have the color and text memorized
[02:45:46]
KnownSyntax
With the CA logo that has a road across it lmao
[02:46:56]
brandon
Daniel you know you miss it.
[02:47:18]
brandon
Oh he disappeared again lmao
[02:47:21]
KnownSyntax
Daniel dipped out a few days ago I think
[02:47:41]
KnownSyntax
After he complained he randomly was SJOIN’d into channels which was the IRCd bug (legit bug)
[02:47:45]
brandon
i guess it’s time to go back to freenode or w/e and troll him
[02:48:05]
brandon
Seriously he’s going to be like that 🤦♂️
[02:51:17]
KnownSyntax
I told him it was a legit bug and fixed but never got a reply back
[02:55:03]
brandon
Imma troll him for it
[02:55:44]
brandon
I need to pay for more than 2 networks connected at the same time 🤦♂️
[03:19:17]
brandon
Lmao the copycats are on one too
[03:19:33]
brandon
“Calls regarding active flames first came in from commuters driving near the interchange of the 105 and 110 freeways in South Los Angeles around 7 a.m. Tuesday morning. “
[03:19:47]
KnownSyntax
Jesus man people are trying to turn down all of your highways
[03:20:13]
KnownSyntax
Beats the time we had a freeway shooter who went months before he was caught. Was shooting bullets randomly at cars on the highway
[03:20:36]
KnownSyntax
I remember in the sections the police labeled as “high risk” people would put their hazards on and go like 90+
[03:21:14]
KnownSyntax
It's serious when it has its own wiki page
[03:22:32]
KnownSyntax
Yeah, shit was crazy. They arrested the wrong person at first and he had to right that he was innocentent
[03:23:01]
brandon
I know meth is a problem there too but god damn I didn’t know they were on our level lmao
[03:23:02]
KnownSyntax
I’m sure you'll see more people try to light the underneath sections of freeways on fire now to make the news
[03:23:11]
KnownSyntax
Yeah people are hella stupid out here
[03:23:14]
brandon
y’all got to quit going to NM 😂
[03:23:21]
brandon
Oh yeah they definitely
[03:23:31]
brandon
The crazies are everywhere unfortunately
[03:23:44]
brandon
There’s countless here too lmao
[03:24:10]
brandon
they are copycats for the attention that is
[03:24:14]
KnownSyntax
Doesn’t help that a lot of your highways are raised and not on the level of the ground (which is rare here)
[03:24:39]
KnownSyntax
So it's easy to just light some wood and throw it
[03:24:52]
brandon
Yeah one of the freeways has all the school bus es for LAUSD stored for the night
[03:24:52]
KnownSyntax
Out here it would get put out quickly
[03:25:17]
brandon
A lot of the businesses leave pallets on the sidewalk too
[03:25:22]

That doesn’t help with all the tents taking up a whole block lmao
[03:25:56]
brandon
There’s one dude who took up a whole ass block with a tarp city
[03:26:08]
brandon
Some under the freeway like that too
[03:26:22]
KnownSyntax
Yeah the homeless out there build cities with tents under/near highways
[03:26:32]
KnownSyntax
Out here they only build them near the homeless shelters
[03:26:42]
KnownSyntax
Which are in Downtown Phoenix and random other spots
[03:26:54]
brandon
Homeless mini mansions made of cardboard and shopping carts lmao
[03:27:03]
KnownSyntax
But the ones out here are hella tweakers esp during summer
[03:27:19]
KnownSyntax
For real, it's cause the temps are nice out there almost year around
[03:28:35]
brandon
Same reasons why they come out here, our weather is fairly forgiving
[03:28:57]
brandon
vs most of the red states they come from tbh
[03:29:25]
KnownSyntax
True, plus they can get washed and somewhat cleaner compared to our here where there is no beach or ocean
[03:30:03]
brandon
That plus we’re more forgiving if you are having a hard time
[03:30:20]
brandon
Most other states aren’t as helpful as we
[03:30:38]
brandon
And we’re still not doing enough
[03:31:13]
brandon
But that’s like my opinion
[03:32:22]
KnownSyntax
I think so I mean for a lot of the homeless its vets and others
[03:33:18]
brandon
Vets people who never recovered after 2008 and mentally disabled
[03:34:16]
brandon
Another problem is we can’t force them to live somewhere if they don’t want because of our rights and some of them are comfortable where they are as well
[03:34:46]
brandon
It’s not black and white unfortunately and has a ton of red tape that’s the reason why we haven’t figured out something
[03:34:59]
KnownSyntax
Well a lot have so much stress and can’t get a solid job from the noises or sounds
[03:35:01]
brandon
We can’t do anything without violating their rights
[03:49:18]
brandon
That’s the only thing I’ll give newsom a break on
[03:51:22]
brandon
Speaking of disappointments

Lakers ain't that great to be fair
[04:05:32]

[04:08:00]
brandon
Kobe era > all of the NBA
[04:08:28]
brandon
Fuck Jordan, Pippin, Johnson
[04:09:17]
brandon
He isn’t even worthy of Kobe’s shadow
[04:15:26]
brandon
LeBron James hasn’t done shit for the Lakers, homeboy has ruined a legacy
[04:15:47]
brandon
So I actually agree with you
[04:21:25]
KnownSyntax
I can’t believe they paid so much for him
[04:21:38]
KnownSyntax
It's crazy that every team he goes to doesn’t win it at all
[04:21:51]
KnownSyntax
I also can’t believe the Suns paid and gave so much for KD
[04:22:14]
KnownSyntax
Only had 1 good year and didn’t get anywhere further than before.
[05:23:11]
brandon
^ I 100% agree with you
[05:23:41]

PokeMMO is actually better than I thought for iOS lol

AT&T were acting like bitches which caused me to lose 9095759768
[05:25:22]
KnownSyntax
No idea how they didn’t get sued by Nintendo yet tbh
[05:25:34]
KnownSyntax
How did you loose a phone number tf
[05:25:46]
brandon
My fault was not realizing my phone number was attached too Google still so I lost everything
[05:25:50]
KnownSyntax
I would have just ported it out to a cheap phone or something
[05:26:13]
KnownSyntax
You can’t call and get it back? Normally numbers are held by carriers for a bit of time
[05:26:17]
brandon
ATT didn’t transfer my number over and I can’t request a specific number, it’s a lottery
[05:26:22]
brandon
they didn’t port it
[05:26:54]
brandon
But according to them it was credo mobiles fault
[05:27:05]
brandon
Credo said it’s Verizon’s fault
[05:27:13]
KnownSyntax
Really? Tf? With T-Mobile they legit gave me their tablet each time and told me to type a number or pick from every selection [area code] - [3 number block] - [4 number block]
[05:27:31]
brandon
Now I’m on Verizon lol
[05:27:55]
brandon
Verizon won’t connect the same phone number to Laela’s tablet and phone
[05:28:07]
brandon
Because it’s a Verizon business account
[05:28:56]
KnownSyntax
I tried to compare T-Mobile to AT&T and Verizon and it makes no sense unless I took advantage of Verizon porting, which gives me like a grand per line or something spread out by 3 years. Otherwise with taxes and all it is the same price if not more than T-Mobile before my work discount
[05:29:03]
brandon
I used my EIN for a Verizon business phone number lol
[05:29:14]
KnownSyntax
Yeah business plans are way different pricing lol
[05:29:26]
brandon
Next is a frontier business account
[05:29:41]
KnownSyntax
Probably a better deal compared to the consumer side of things
[05:29:58]
brandon
Even the consumer version of Verizon is way too inflated
[05:30:29]
brandon
Most telecom companies are but that’s because our government sucks
[05:31:13]
brandon
I have the business unlimited pro
[05:32:00]
brandon
Honestly the perks of consumer is better
[05:32:24]
brandon
Free Hulu or w/e they currently offer
[05:33:57]
KnownSyntax
You have to pay for the $10/credit a month plan so it's weird how they have it worded
[05:34:07]
KnownSyntax
Only thing free right now is a iPhone 15 Pro + Apple TV 4K
[05:36:03]
KnownSyntax
Idk why that page is broken but if you scroll down
[05:36:14]
KnownSyntax
I pay for the 3 lines, so $157.70/mo
[05:36:45]
KnownSyntax
But it nets out a win, cause of the free shit for roaming + Netflix + Apple TV + unlimited free Wi-Fi on planes and other things
[05:37:21]
KnownSyntax
Otherwise I’d find the cheapest plan they or anyone else offers
[06:17:14]
brandon
wtf Netflix and Apple TV with a business account
[06:17:34]
brandon
Verizon has always sucked but damn bro
[06:17:59]
brandon
maybe I’ll switch to t-mobile business
[06:18:44]
brandon
Doesn’t look like that’s offered for me either
[06:19:29]
brandon
Unfortunately employers accounts don’t get those kind of perks :(
[06:20:00]
KnownSyntax
Which is odd because I had to switch my billing cycle to match Sony’s lol
[06:20:20]
KnownSyntax
And I no longer qualify for any other promos or discounts like the Free Line promo they have every so often
[06:20:25]
brandon
Well technically I don’t own it, it owns itself I’m just given the job role as owner
[06:20:40]
KnownSyntax
So it's like a mixed or a business + consumer account where I get a discount but screwed elsewhere
[06:21:00]
KnownSyntax
They you have a business technically lol
[06:21:00]
brandon
That’s funny how it is
[06:21:21]
brandon
It’s actually better to be a consumer
[06:21:49]
KnownSyntax
By far. I only switched because it was cheaper and I needed the 5G plan to get the $1K for my iPhone 12 Pro Max lol
[06:21:54]
brandon
It’s a LLC so the way I set up was weird
[06:22:01]
KnownSyntax
So it worked out but otherwise I would be downgraded for sure
[06:22:15]
brandon
But it protects me personally from liabilities to a degree
[06:23:34]
brandon
I’m trying to put the house and car on it tbh
[06:24:15]
brandon
maybe the house onto a LLC owned by Laela since I need to set one up for her real estate shit
[06:24:49]
brandon
Got to make sure it’s registered in Delaware or Arizona too
[06:25:05]
brandon
Unfortunately California sucks at privacy laws
[06:27:03]
KnownSyntax
And Montana for vehicles (higher end vehicles).
[06:27:30]
KnownSyntax
Shit GoDaddy is LLC out of Delaware when I signed all of the documents for hire
[06:27:47]
KnownSyntax
No clue where Sony is, it's not CA though if I recall
[06:35:24]
brandon
Prob Delaware or another state that is more business friendly when it comes to dcma

Nice projection lmao. When I run out of vbucks I always load back up with the $90 option because thats about as much as it costs to refill my Corvette. It's no big deal to me because I have steady income.

That’s now two of the 5000
[16:28:37]

[16:31:00]

The font is whatever to me. The fact that they didn’t update the map fully and these skins are stupid

[16:34:11]

Most of the time these TOS’ get tossed out as non-enforceable
