IRC Driven

[08:38:55] + siggs/IRC-nERDs Some workplaces I have had clients coming in, talking about stuff that may have clearly indicated they didn't know what workplace they were approaching. I would stop myself from saying some equivalent to, "I don't know what you're talking about sir, this is a Wendy's".

[08:41:07] + siggs/IRC-nERDs Sometimes making a mental note that I had to deal with a person who might have been having a problem.

[08:42:08] + siggs/IRC-nERDs dracorex, the shitsville internet... it's older technology, I'm guessing?

[08:43:21] + siggs/IRC-nERDs ah!

[08:44:11] + siggs/IRC-nERDs I had a gentleman who I have absolutely never met or spoke to before start speaking as though he personally knew me. Slightly concerned for his well-being now due to that.

[08:44:35] + siggs/IRC-nERDs they're figuring out how to run fibre optic to you

[08:44:55] + siggs/IRC-nERDs when it was built to run the older vdsl?

[08:45:05] + siggs/IRC-nERDs ah, yes

[08:45:19] + siggs/IRC-nERDs cannot just add fibre optic?

[08:45:50] + siggs/IRC-nERDs I didn't know they could remove the copper line. does fibre run home telephone service on it too?

[08:46:10] + siggs/IRC-nERDs I don't think they're allowed to remove the ability to install home telephone service from buildings.

[08:46:54] + siggs/IRC-nERDs dracorex, yes, exactly, telecoms stuff is regulated. cannot gut a essential serrbice line unless it's being updated with something that has the same functionality.

[08:47:22] + siggs/IRC-nERDs i.e. if fibre optic can run both internet and home telephone in the same way DSL type internet can.

[08:47:29] + siggs/IRC-nERDs one the line type

[08:47:52] + siggs/IRC-nERDs they might just lay it next to the copper and not tell you the copper is still there

[08:48:18] + siggs/IRC-nERDs if you think it's still there, you might get an idea of running two separate connections that would have frequency interference

[08:48:44] + siggs/IRC-nERDs yes, it's extra effort to remove the copper too. I don't think they're actually allowed to.

[08:48:57] + siggs/IRC-nERDs they'll probably just leave it and misspoke to you.

[08:49:27] + siggs/IRC-nERDs or bent the truth to make sure you don't muck up both connections by trying to run both

[08:49:34] + siggs/IRC-nERDs double fail kind of thing

[08:49:47] + siggs/IRC-nERDs because that stuff is very regulated.

[08:50:23] + siggs/IRC-nERDs if someone moves in after you, they're not going to pay for a fibre optic connection because they felt like violating regulations and removing the copper that is required

[08:50:26] + siggs/IRC-nERDs yep

[08:50:47] + siggs/IRC-nERDs it's not a separate country where they can remove or tamper with regulated stuff

[08:51:25] + siggs/IRC-nERDs sounds rural

[08:51:47] + siggs/IRC-nERDs VDSL seems to be the backbone in more rural or isolated places

[08:53:30] + siggs/IRC-nERDs worked on the industry a bit. pay is usually not that great unless you're a CEO or something in a huge company that has a habit of ripping people off because the country they operate in allows for that sort of thing

[08:53:41] + siggs/IRC-nERDs *coughcanadacough*

[08:54:19] + siggs/IRC-nERDs ah, when geographic features screw up pre-existing services

[08:54:28] + siggs/IRC-nERDs oh okay

[08:55:05] + siggs/IRC-nERDs those pits are no good

[08:56:06] + siggs/IRC-nERDs hehe

[08:56:10] + siggs/IRC-nERDs :p

[08:56:19] + siggs/IRC-nERDs doughnut? coffee?

[08:56:23] + siggs/IRC-nERDs 🍩☕

[08:56:33] + siggs/IRC-nERDs some fika?

[08:56:47] + siggs/IRC-nERDs not that that makes the existence of those pits any better

[09:01:54] + siggs/IRC-nERDs those British bourban cookies are really good

[09:02:06] + siggs/IRC-nERDs little taupe rectangle sandwich shapes

[09:02:37] + siggs/IRC-nERDs not grossly sweet

[09:02:45] + siggs/IRC-nERDs what sort of bourbon?

[09:02:55] + siggs/IRC-nERDs bourbon is good to cook with

[09:07:39] + siggs/IRC-nERDs I'm not sure who to send a babysitting bill to. Got harassed to babysit again despite it being very, very clearly known I do not do that, especially without pay.

[09:07:50] + siggs/IRC-nERDs Hopefully I don't have to add to a file.

[09:08:37] + siggs/IRC-nERDs Some people got themselves jailed and make the incorrect choices of making their lives worse.

[09:08:51] + siggs/IRC-nERDs I wonder if it is a form of intellectual disability.

[09:09:00] + siggs/IRC-nERDs Probably not.

[09:10:07] + siggs/IRC-nERDs nothing sadder than ppl thinking I give a shit about their squirming. oh well.

[09:11:36] + siggs/IRC-nERDs reminds me of that Tamara Lich stuff

[09:12:31] + siggs/IRC-nERDs I supposed not a lot of comms providers still do those

[09:14:05] + siggs/IRC-nERDs a person who was in jail may have admitted to me that they tried to hide their embarrassment over it by trying to claim I was them, because, like Tamara Lich, they couldn't use stuff in jail lol

[09:16:37] + siggs/IRC-nERDs not a common thing. confirmed that an error with a telecoms company got jumped on for exploitation purposes.

[09:18:07] + siggs/IRC-nERDs working in technology doesn't mean I have to work out of scope as a probation officer or something, agh

[09:19:17] + siggs/IRC-nERDs sorry, this is dumb shit people got caught for, happened a little while ago, they make things worse despite apparently being very clearly told what for by the criminal justice system.

[09:20:23] + siggs/IRC-nERDs it's not common. bringing it up doesn't mean someone else who has dealt with the same whining will pipe up

[09:21:16] + siggs/IRC-nERDs I guess it was a form of cyber crime too. I caught some ransomware enterprise by accident or something similar.

[09:31:15] + siggs/IRC-nERDs night dracorex

[14:10:29] + siggs/IRC-nERDs I wonder if it's a normal way to end up in jail by trying to commit fraud by pretending I live with a person who I do not and that when I buy clothing that I buy clothing to share or for a different person. Nothing like people announcing when they're dumb enough to try and scam a massive, insured corporation that will go after them.

[14:10:35] + siggs/IRC-nERDs stupid bullshit

[14:11:17] + siggs/IRC-nERDs it's a little but like an unhealthy obsession with communism but it's just fraud instead.

[14:13:06] + siggs/IRC-nERDs the level of sexism towards women included, that I never asked to be brought up, is also kind of embarrassing.

[15:11:18] + siggs/IRC-nERDs lol

[15:11:23] + siggs/IRC-nERDs :)

[15:12:23] + siggs/IRC-nERDs please don't mind me when I'm cleaning up data after some people got caught on their bullshit. the way I had to do it before was so discreet people thought it was an invitation to keep scammin'

[15:12:37] + siggs/IRC-nERDs hope today is great

[15:27:14] + siggs/IRC-nERDs !duckstats socratic

[15:27:43] + siggs/IRC-nERDs is duckhunt your first irc shooter, socratic?

[15:28:16] + siggs/IRC-nERDs it's fun :p

[15:56:52] + siggs/IRC-nERDs I wonder if there is a way to prove discrimination with Amazon and financial institutions lok

[15:58:00] + siggs/IRC-nERDs stuff that isn't Amazon brand isn't given priority, really, that's all

[16:00:28] + siggs/IRC-nERDs ....duck church lol

[16:01:08] + siggs/IRC-nERDs !meow

[16:01:16] + siggs/IRC-nERDs !reload

[16:02:13] + siggs/IRC-nERDs I guess it's stuff that's a non-issue until you find out some banks prioritise only Amazon branded stuff to receive money maybe before they should, a refund can get delayed, then they explain themselves

[16:02:14] + siggs/IRC-nERDs meh

[16:03:09] + siggs/IRC-nERDs really??

[16:03:27] + siggs/IRC-nERDs :(

[16:03:30] + siggs/IRC-nERDs eep

[16:03:39] + siggs/IRC-nERDs does he have other stressors?

[16:04:04] + siggs/IRC-nERDs ahh

[16:04:32] + siggs/IRC-nERDs enough for irc duck hunt to make him angy

[16:06:25] + siggs/IRC-nERDs geez :(

[16:07:00] + siggs/IRC-nERDs o.o

[16:08:45] + siggs/IRC-nERDs he's probably tracked by on the technet server side of things

[16:09:50] + siggs/IRC-nERDs duck hunt killed him :(

[16:11:04] + siggs/IRC-nERDs is brothers of freedom a title of an actual group or something he attached to his IRC login?

[16:12:45] + siggs/IRC-nERDs ah, makes sense

[16:13:21] + siggs/IRC-nERDs I kind of am too but it's not always practical. you cannot make people, corporations, educational institutions, etc, go open source, so compatibility issues happen

[16:13:29] + siggs/IRC-nERDs jw

[16:28:57] + siggs/IRC-nERDs I wonder how often Amazon in America gets embarrassed for letting their contact line redirect to a dumb scam that admits she's a scam. stuupppiidd bullshit.

[16:29:29] + siggs/IRC-nERDs even pretended there would be further discussion.

[16:30:06] + siggs/IRC-nERDs 1-877-586-3230

[16:30:55] + siggs/IRC-nERDs nothing sadder than a scam that has nothing better to do than intentionally abuse while pretending to work for Amazon (America).

[16:31:57] + siggs/IRC-nERDs congrats on duck kills

[16:32:28] + siggs/IRC-nERDs it's a commercial fraud scam that tried to hide through the Amazon America contact line

[16:33:05] + siggs/IRC-nERDs I wonder if I report that to the FBI there because once fraud crosses borders, more than one type of police deal with it

[16:33:41] + siggs/IRC-nERDs I wish people had better lives.

[17:36:27] + siggs/IRC-nERDs lmao let's see if contacting police where some fraudsters have their employer headquartered has the magic effect of killing off indirect harassment and pretending a negotiation is occuring after having been very thoroughly caught.

[17:37:07] + siggs/IRC-nERDs people really are dumb, holy shit. I guess this is what happens when I was so quiet for years when people would squirm to me because they knew they were doing very illegal stuff to me and wanted to pretend I was okay with it

[17:37:34] + siggs/IRC-nERDs h4, lol

[17:43:16] + siggs/IRC-nERDs haha charity front in Calgary got caught being a scam

[17:43:45] + siggs/IRC-nERDs interesting that there isn't want to talk about that

[18:01:38] + siggs/IRC-nERDs yep, it sounds like they flagged it and might be dealing with things

[18:02:00] + siggs/IRC-nERDs flagged bullshit, not that it's a Canadian number

[18:02:42] + siggs/IRC-nERDs I do. a person that doesn't work for Amazon tried to say they do and harassed me with bullshit

[18:02:59] + siggs/IRC-nERDs yeah, spoofing makes doing stuff that should be simple a pita

[18:03:05] + siggs/IRC-nERDs !meow

[18:03:13] + siggs/IRC-nERDs !reload

[18:04:24] + siggs/IRC-nERDs foxy, I know how Amazon works just fine. it's people pretending to work for Amazon towards me that gets flagged.

[18:27:57] + siggs/IRC-nERDs lol, in the past, the only people who would tell me to stop talking were people that owed me quite a bit of money and knew it

[18:28:13] + siggs/IRC-nERDs when I was never talking any shit

[21:59:55] + siggs/IRC-nERDs congrats on the assignment, ked

[22:00:24] + siggs/IRC-nERDs "Baaarbara"

[22:00:26] + siggs/IRC-nERDs geez

[22:02:03] + siggs/IRC-nERDs ked, you competed something at the same time as me lol

[22:11:21] + siggs/IRC-nERDs the jokes about CT and sheep make me think about a man left alone on an island with nothing but sheep for far too long or in solitary confinement in prison where even a sheep's arse starts to look appealing

[22:11:58] + siggs/IRC-nERDs ....so... this isn't joked about as much here

[22:12:00] + siggs/IRC-nERDs oops

[22:12:06] + siggs/IRC-nERDs sorry >.>

[22:12:33] + siggs/IRC-nERDs I am more than happy to *not* joke about that

[22:12:46] + siggs/IRC-nERDs lmao it's okay

[22:12:59] + siggs/IRC-nERDs I was a bit concerned about them at first

[22:13:19] + siggs/IRC-nERDs the jokes, ct

[22:13:25] + siggs/IRC-nERDs not you :p

[22:13:46] + siggs/IRC-nERDs no problem!
