18:07:00 <Blockah> [16:21:47] Some weird foreign guy tried having a go at me today, cheeky little mate in the car was filming, well here was the end result: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/I2BXHf2AP0c
18:07:00 <electrohead> [16:27:41] did you do the punching?
18:07:00 <electrohead> [16:28:08] and more importantly, is that the whole video?

18:08:00 <Blockah> [16:55:16] Lol
18:08:00 <electrohead> [16:56:18] from what I was trained, in both martial arts, and the military - bigger men fall harder.
18:08:00 <electrohead> [16:56:53] (since we're comparing dick sizes, here)
18:08:00 <Blockah> [16:57:53] Bigger men are also harder to make fall lol
18:08:00 <Blockah> [16:58:06] Weight classes aren't made for a joke :P
18:08:00 <electrohead> [16:58:33] You get your ass kicked tonight or something?
18:08:00 <Blockah> [16:58:42] Nope; why?
18:08:00 <electrohead> [16:59:07] Just wondering. How are you doing?
18:08:00 <Blockah> [16:59:11] Yeah good thanks bruv
18:08:00 <Blockah> [16:59:13] You?
18:08:00 <electrohead> [16:59:54] I'm doing alright. Hoping I get fucking hired for a job I interviewed for, recently
18:08:00 <electrohead> [16:59:56] >.<
18:08:00 <electrohead> [17:00:02] I'm a broke mother fucker.
18:08:00 <Blockah> [17:00:16] Find Jesus Bruh, he'll help you while you're broke :D
18:08:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [17:00:25] fuck jeus
18:08:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [17:00:27] find satan
18:08:00 <Blockah> [17:00:28] But legit come to New Zealand, you'll find out what broke means even with a job
18:08:00 <Blockah> [17:00:48] Calm down mr sinner lol
18:08:00 <electrohead> [17:00:51] Come to the USA, where you'll be off worse than New Zealand.
18:08:00 <Blockah> [17:01:00] Doubt it lol
18:08:00 <electrohead> [17:01:08] Ok.
18:08:00 <Blockah> [17:01:24] The only thing I don't like about USA is the fact that businesses usually pay workers wages via tips or nothing
18:08:00 <Blockah> [17:01:27] That to me seems illegal
18:08:00 <Blockah> [17:01:39] So if there is no tips? What they just got free work from the workers?
18:08:00 <electrohead> [17:01:49] Tips? What are tips?
18:08:00 <electrohead> [17:02:05] Oh, the dick tips that get shoved in my ass all the time, via the system?
18:08:00 <Blockah> [17:03:02] -_-
18:08:00 <electrohead> [17:03:02] If you're really from New Zealand, you know you have it better, therefore don't shove that shit in other people's faces.
18:08:00 <Blockah> [17:03:21] How would we have it better? Our wages are crap and our prices for everything is way higher mate lol
18:08:00 <Blockah> [17:03:41] We're literally a small island being compared to one of the greatest nations on earth lol
18:08:00 <electrohead> [17:03:42] Alright, we found a mutual setting - We're all fucked, now let's all deal with it.
18:08:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [17:03:43] doubt that Blockah
18:08:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [17:03:50] US is worst for wages
18:08:00 <Blockah> [17:04:13] I've heard stories from both sides so who knows but I do know their prices are cheaper lol
18:08:00 <Blockah> [17:04:36] Heck, mate moved from NZ to Australia and said the wages were way better and things are cheaper lol
18:08:00 <electrohead> [17:04:38] I already have a military pension, and I can barely put food on my table. My checking account has been at $0 for 4 days now, and I'm hurting severely.
18:08:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [17:04:39] how much does a basic security officer get there Blockah
18:08:00 <Blockah> [17:04:51] Sorry to hear electrohead
18:08:00 <Blockah> [17:04:57] No idea Snoopys_Gunship lol
18:08:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [17:05:20] over there its about $13 an hour
18:08:00 <Blockah> [17:05:30] My mum works every Monday to Friday and gets like less than $500 NZD
18:08:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [17:05:35] im on $31 an hour
18:08:00 <electrohead> [17:05:37] If you're sorry, then shut the fuck up. Sorry to come off harsh, but I hate when people in general say "oh I have it bad" when you don't know how others are doing. My life sucks DICK right now.
18:08:00 <Blockah> [17:05:39] Her partner I think gets like $800 or $900 a week
18:08:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [17:06:11] ok
18:08:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [17:06:17] change of subject now i think
18:08:00 <Blockah> [17:08:50] That's called good timing right?
18:08:00 <electrohead> [17:10:01] Good timing, right?
18:08:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [17:10:06] perfect
18:08:00 <Blockah> [17:10:49] Would now be a good time to ask for donations? (Lol just kidding) :P
18:08:00 <Blockah> [17:11:12] Lmao
18:08:00 <electrohead> [17:11:17] Fucking dick.

18:08:00 <electrohead> [17:11:41] "just kidding"
18:08:00 <electrohead> [17:11:55] Yeah the bright side.
18:08:00 <electrohead> [17:12:19] Just stop being a dick, mate.
18:08:00 <Blockah> [17:12:27] You ain't dead yet? -- Are you homeless? -- Some food is better than none? -- When I feel bad I always remind myself it could always be worse
18:08:00 <electrohead> [17:12:29] We all love you, but holy shit lol
18:08:00 <Blockah> [17:12:35] electrohead, Wasn't trying to be a dick, but sure =)
18:08:00 <Blockah> [17:13:21] In all seriousness though

21:27:00 <gee_man> i cancalled my disney+ and paramount+ subscriptions
21:31:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> why
21:31:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> you afriad they were spying on you
21:51:00 <gremlinz> some srsly fucking stupid people on this planet
21:52:00 <gee_man> funny
21:52:00 <gee_man> tell me about it
21:53:00 <gee_man> and most of them vote, too
21:53:00 <gee_man> domocracy in action!
22:00:00 <gee_man> wait 'til robots get the right to vote, that's the real mindfuck
22:09:00 <gee_man> games on netflix is a joke
22:09:00 <gee_man> considering cancelling netflix, too
22:09:00 <gee_man> of course female spies are going to rig my search results to make it appear i'm interested, sexually, in guys, because i pointed out that more than two female spires tried to sleep with me that i rejected
22:10:00 <gee_man> nothing like a female spies' vendetta
22:10:00 <Bonny> why would they spy on you?
22:10:00 <gee_man> good question
22:10:00 <Bonny> what do you have for people to be so interested in you to spy on you
22:11:00 <gee_man> another good question
22:11:00 <Bonny> it's you being paranoid.. it's part of schizophrenia
22:11:00 <gee_man> ok
22:12:00 <Bonny> you can say ok all you like.. I know you think I'm wrong and don't have a clue
22:12:00 <gee_man> ok
22:12:00 <Bonny> doing it again
22:12:00 <gee_man> sorry
22:12:00 <gee_man> but you said say it all you like
22:13:00 <Bonny> yes I did cos you think you know better than me
22:14:00 <gee_man> i think you have it the other way around
22:14:00 <Bonny> nup
22:14:00 <gee_man> ok
22:16:00 <gee_man> at some point a paranoid schizophrenic has to ask themself "are you paranoid because you should be, or just think you are paranoid?"
22:17:00 <gee_man> i turned myself in for high treason, as a start
22:17:00 <Bonny> a schizophrenia can't differentiate between paranoid and normal thought
22:17:00 <Bonny> I know this cos I've been there and done that
22:18:00 <gee_man> i've had several psychiatrists tell me that i have insight into what is and isn't real, it's just that i don't always feel the need to correct myself on irc
22:18:00 <Bonny> uhuh
22:22:00 <gee_man> if you don't understand what i'm saying, it's not meant for you
22:22:00 <Bonny> I understand you perfectly
22:23:00 <Bonny> psychiatrist have said the same thing to me over the yearsw
22:23:00 <Bonny> I was first diagnosed in 1990
22:23:00 <Bonny> 32 years ago
22:25:00 <gee_man> yeah, i figured it was a common encouraging statement, but it's not said to every schizo
22:25:00 <Bonny> I don't believe a word what psychiatrist say.. they don't have it 100% right either.. the medications etc are all trial and error till they find the right one
22:26:00 <gee_man> yep, it's just like chiropracty
22:26:00 <Bonny> yup
22:29:00 <gee_man> all psychoactive drugs that psychiatrists prescribe are just filling a replacement for a psychosomatic need or addiction that is no longer present
22:29:00 <Bonny> yup
22:31:00 <Bonny> over the years I had various diagnosis.. I started as a schizoprenia and the manic depressive then bipolar and then schizoaffective disorder and now I'm bipolar..
22:31:00 <Bonny> they don't know themselves what is wrong with me
22:32:00 <gee_man> yeah, you pretty much have to figure it out yourself, if the drug you're on happens to be at the same time, the prescribing psychiatrist will take the credit
22:32:00 <Bonny> yup
22:33:00 <Bonny> I used to be on lithium for bipolar.. I refused to take them cos of the side effects and I told the doctors if you don't stop the lithium and give me something else, I will stop taking them and be admitted to hospital
22:33:00 <Bonny> so they were left with no choice
22:35:00 <gee_man> yeah, all bipolar drugs do is chemically labotomise the frontal lobe - after about 30 years, you'll be starting conversations mid-sentence because you'll be assuming the person you're talking to is on the same page
22:35:00 <gee_man> lithium is notorious for that
22:35:00 <Bonny> yup
22:35:00 <Bonny> lithium fucked my thyroid glands
22:35:00 <Bonny> up*
22:35:00 <gee_man> that sucks
22:36:00 <Bonny> cos of that I ended up being huge
22:36:00 <Bonny> I've lost the weight now after 30 years but I have excess skin etc which pisses me off cos they fucked up my thyroid glands and my body is not like it used to be
22:38:00 * electrohead is now known as E
22:38:00 <gee_man> tiger-balm is good for preventing/repairing stretch marks
22:38:00 <Bonny> it's not stretch marks
22:38:00 <Bonny> it's skin hanging off my body
22:38:00 <gee_man> ah right
22:38:00 <gee_man> i guess you need cosmetic surgery for that
22:39:00 <Bonny> yup
22:39:00 <Bonny> which I don't have the money to do
22:39:00 <Bonny> I look great with clothes on
22:40:00 <gee_man> i wish i had a solution, but i don't
22:40:00 <Bonny> I know hun.. it's cool
22:41:00 <gee_man> well, i do know that in thailand they have the best cosmetic surgeons in the world
22:41:00 <gee_man> australia's cosmetic surgery industry is a joke, same as u.s.
22:42:00 <gee_man> you only have to look at thai ladyboys to know their customer base
22:42:00 <Bonny> yeah I know.. I know a friend that went to thailand
22:43:00 <gee_man> you can get onto a payment plan for return flights and recovery time while at the same time taking a holiday
22:43:00 <Bonny> she lost a lot of weight too and did comestic work but she's put the weight back on
22:43:00 <Bonny> yeah they have packages that you can book for that
22:44:00 <gee_man> that's my only solution, but it could risk more debt as we're going into an international fiscal crisis
22:44:00 <Bonny> yup
22:44:00 <Bonny> not a good time for that
22:45:00 <Bonny> I only debt I have atm is my mortgage
22:45:00 <Bonny> I don't owe on afterpay, or my credit card etc
22:45:00 <Bonny> I paid everything off last night
22:45:00 <gee_man> yeah, i have like 5-10 debts at the moment, slowly paying them off
22:45:00 <Bonny> can't you get a consolation loan for that?
22:46:00 <Bonny> lower interest rates
22:46:00 <gee_man> most of them are interest-free
22:46:00 <Bonny> ahhh that's ok then
22:46:00 <Bonny> for how long?
22:46:00 <gee_man> like 2 years
22:46:00 <Bonny> the idea of interest free is to pay them off b4 they start charging interest
22:46:00 <gee_man> i have zip pay that costs $12/mo but with the coming fiscal crisis, they're going to raise the price of it
22:46:00 <Bonny> eeks
22:47:00 <Bonny> I used to have zip pay.. I closed it
22:47:00 <gee_man> zip pay is so convenient tho, they generate one-time use credit cards now
22:47:00 <Bonny> the finance company wanted me to close it b4 they would approve my loan
22:47:00 <gee_man> ah ok
22:47:00 <Bonny> I wasn't working when I got my house loan
22:48:00 <Bonny> I based it all on my pension
22:48:00 <gee_man> nice
22:48:00 <Bonny> yup
22:48:00 <Bonny> I had a good deposit and a great broke3r
22:48:00 <Bonny> broker*
22:48:00 <gee_man> i guess the problem with losing a job is that you keep spending as if you have the same amount of money if you're not careful
22:48:00 <Bonny> now that I work is a bonus
22:48:00 <Bonny> I don't spend my income
22:49:00 <Bonny> I just spend my pension
22:49:00 <gee_man> well that's a very logical way to avoid that
22:49:00 <Bonny> my pension covers my house repayments
22:49:00 <Bonny> yup
22:50:00 <Bonny> considering interest rates are going up I'm not under mortgage stress.. which means your repayments are over 30% of your income
22:51:00 <gee_man> we'll have negative interest rates before 2030
22:51:00 <Bonny> nah don't think that will happen
22:51:00 <Bonny> it should have happened years ago
22:52:00 <Bonny> one good thing with interest rates rising is saving/investment accounts interests are rising too
22:52:00 <Bonny> so I'm getting more interest on my savings than I did b4
22:53:00 <gee_man> yeah, but if people stop spending en-mass, negative interest rates will be introduced to encourage spending because it'll cost you money to save money
22:53:00 <Bonny> people will never stop spending
22:53:00 <gee_man> yeah, it'll take a major sociological shift, but i believe it'll happen
22:54:00 <Bonny> I don't
22:54:00 <gee_man> if housing prices continue to rise, people will just live and sleep in self-driving cars to avoid rent, and they'll stop buying crap because it's too much to lug around
22:55:00 <Bonny> erm have you been hearing the news lately about housing prices? they have dropped
22:55:00 <Bonny> they are falling
22:55:00 <gee_man> i think it's temporary
22:55:00 <Bonny> nup
22:56:00 <Bonny> they are still dropping
22:56:00 <gee_man> billionaires know that cash is losing it's value, so they're still buying up houses at auctions through proxies
22:56:00 <Bonny> yeah at cheaper prices
22:56:00 <gee_man> yeah, but never below asking price
22:56:00 <Bonny> I'm lucky I bought my home less than the market value
22:57:00 <Bonny> the asking price would be low too
22:58:00 <gee_man> after you pay it off, you could live in it, then mortgage another unit and rent it out
22:58:00 <Bonny> lose my pension if I did that
22:58:00 <gee_man> the rent will be less than the mortgage, but not by much
22:58:00 <Bonny> it's doubled atm
22:58:00 <Bonny> the rent
22:59:00 <gee_man> i mean the rent that your tenant pays
22:59:00 <Bonny> I was paying rent b4 I bought my place
22:59:00 <Bonny> I was paying $1087 a month but it was subsidised by the government.. I only pay
22:59:00 <Bonny> my mortgage is only $800 a month
23:00:00 <gee_man> ah ok
23:00:00 <Bonny> yes if I have an investment property I would lose my pension
23:00:00 <gee_man> hm ok
23:01:00 <gee_man> well i guess if you save after you pay off your mortgage for an absolutely huge deposit, that you could pay off the mortgage on the investment property with tenant's rent
23:01:00 <Bonny> would still lose my pension
23:01:00 <gee_man> plus some left over
23:02:00 <gee_man> yeah, you'd have to have a huge deposit
23:02:00 <Bonny> as the value of the property would be higher than what is mean tested
23:02:00 <gee_man> i guess no matter how big the deposit is, tenant's rent would be less than the pension
23:02:00 <Bonny> it's not based on rent
23:02:00 <Bonny> I would lose the pension cos of the value of the property
23:03:00 <gee_man> yeah i know, i'm living in a dream land at the moment trying to figure out if you could live without the pension
23:04:00 <Bonny> if you buy an investment property the rent would go towards paying off the loan and other expenses which would make it lower than what you get in pension
23:05:00 <gee_man> that's what i figured out 2 sentences ago
23:05:00 <Bonny> lol
23:05:00 <gee_man> there's always reverse-gearing with a huge deposit, but tha't a can of worms
23:06:00 <gee_man> negative gearing i mean
23:06:00 <Bonny> then you pay tax on it and still be left with less
23:06:00 <gee_man> hm yeah
23:06:00 <Bonny> and if you negative gear it's money coming out of your pocket
23:06:00 <Bonny> that rent doesn't cover
23:06:00 <gee_man> yeah
23:07:00 <gee_man> ey electrohead!
23:07:00 <Bonny> hey electrohead *penis hugz*
23:07:00 <gee_man> any news from the employer?
23:07:00 <electrohead> not yet :/
23:07:00 <gee_man> :\
23:07:00 <electrohead> I just woke up; once I make coffee and take a piss, I'm going to double check *again*
23:07:00 <electrohead> lol
23:08:00 <gee_man> lol
23:39:00 <electrohead> lmfao. nah you good :P
23:40:00 <gee_man> when i drank coffee, i was grumpy every morning until i had my first cup of the day
23:42:00 <E> o/
23:42:00 <electrohead> heh
23:43:00 <electrohead> I don't think I get like that
23:44:00 <gee_man> well, if you live alone, you probably wouldn't
23:44:00 <gee_man> i just got grumpy when people tried to talk to me before i had one
23:47:00 <electrohead> I should create a test case, by talking to myself every morning before and after coffee
23:47:00 <electrohead> lol
23:47:00 <gee_man> lol
23:47:00 <gee_man> it doesn't work like that :p
23:48:00 <gee_man> i'm tryna decide on watching top gun maverick for 25, or two cheap comedies for $15
23:49:00 <gee_man> it's either one or the other
23:51:00 <gee_man> i'm also considering giving up milo because of the sugar
23:51:00 <gee_man> even though it's the reduced sugar version
23:51:00 <gee_man> it's still a lot of sugar
23:53:00 <gee_man> lol don't you start on pirating
23:54:00 <gee_man> i've already been lectured by Snoopys_Gunship
23:54:00 <gee_man> also, Snoopys_Gunship, if you're reading this, it was $24.99 not $17.99 for top gun: maverick
23:58:00 <gee_man> decided on top gun: maverick
23:58:00 <gee_man> realised i should have done my tutorial work for the week before buying it
23:59:00 <gee_man> well, i can still do the tutorial work and watch it when i'm done as a reward mechanism
