"American tank mechanic here. Some advice.
Tanks are bad at urban combat. They need infantry support. Without boots on ground they're just big targets with poor visibility. Rifles should aim for the periscopes, but most importantly the sight unit on top of the turret.
[next post in the thread, by the same guy]
Take down street signs. Don't let the enemy know where they are. Move signs to the wrong streets. Tanks are super heavy, so try to direct them to streets that can't hold their weight. They can't move if they break through to the sewer."

For example, his rigid adherence to truth, justice, and all the other things he holds dear are POTENTIAL good things that the Empire could have instilled within it's culture. Unfortunately, this spirit is lost when he suffers a head injury and dies as part of the Ghorman massacre. Dedra Meero has some good qualities as well, such as her unflinching resolve and unwavering dedication to pursuing her charge. She's a hunter. Cats aren't evil just because they are ambush predators, and neither is she. However, she IS evil because of all the evil things she does. Her character isn't evil, her actions are. She too is spiritually lost as a sacrifice to the Empire. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5516 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────── Police aren't evil when they sign up for cop school at age 18 or whatever.

When people are empowered, they are enabled to take responsibility for the world around them. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════┴───────────┘ -> file: notes/algorism-neighborhood-distribution-network ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────── Algorism is a system designed to work for any level of organization. It scales. It accomplishes this by abstracting individual needs into communal needs at a certain level of size or complexity, and in doing so it enables people to take responsibility both for their individual lives, but also the lives of the world around them. This increased level of "stake" that people "hold" in their lives will encourage them to develop their surroundings in a healthier way, thus leading to a safer, saner, and more productive society for all. How is this accomplished? There are many aspects to Algorism, and this note is an examination of one particular facet - specifically, the requisition system which delivers goods and services to entities larger than a single individual. It may be best illustrated with an example. Consider a neighborhood - or, even simpler, a suburban street, lined with houses. There may be 20-50 families on that street, depending on it's length, so let's say there's around 30. These families hold a common cause together - they all want their surroundings to be generally pretty nice, clean, and decent. They may share many other things besides, but these are things that most people can agree on. These 30 families need supplies and infrastructure in order to have a good life lived in their small little "town". Some common ideas for unification activities include knocking down the backyard fences and letting them relish the shared safe space for children, gardens, and nature. This is an example of a cultural method for building a "good life" for them, however they need to have some sort of "economic" method of good-life-building as well. The reason I say this is because no matter what level of complexity you reach, there are always economics involved, for an individual distributing blood cells to each of it's fingertips all the way up to families sharing the food on the serving plate at dinner. Go up higher and you have perhaps neighborhoods sharing commonly used tools or resources, then cities and states and countries sharing people, talents, and brotherhood. Economics are a symptom of systems, not power. Power is coercive, it compels others to obey thine will or else face retribution, but systems do not require power in order to function. A system could be as simple as "you scratch my back I scratch yours", which is a simple way that our ancestors learned about basic cooperation. Systems can scale of course, and they need not be comprised solely of verbal, mental, or legal agreements - computer systems, economic systems, spiritual systems, systems of math or physics, all of these things are based on the philosophical discipline known as "logic". Logic is fallible of course, it is certainly possible to create systems of logic which are completely unsound or invalid and which fall apart upon being used for the first time. However, when considered with a scrutinous eye for detail, and referenced to the results of the real world and it's endless permutations, logic can be an excellent tool for developing organization and structure. Both of which are invaluable for all humans when they seek to cooperate or coordinate. If thirty people who lived near each other wanted to cooperate or coordinate on the goal of "building a good life", they might reach for a logical method of developing their surroundings toward how they feel is most suited to their needs and demands. In order to do so, they'll need supply and infrastructure. The question of acquiring such supply and infrastructure is ultimately up to them, but the Algorist way of doing so is to utilize the queue system. This system is related to queues as typically understood only in name and in technicality, for the additional structures built on-top of the queues are more than sufficient to differentiate it. When you, dear reader, hear the idea that you'd have to wait in line in order to get your food at the cafeteria, you may shudder and think about how you'd prefer anything else. After all, that's how they did it in the Soviet Union, and there are plenty of horror stories about how it took 10 years to buy a car, or how the factories were graded based on weight so they'd sneak lead into all their lamps or whatever in order to seem like they were doing well. They gamed the system, in a word. However, America in 2025 is not as simple as the USSR in the mid-1900s. We have computers now. We do not need to coordinate using paper and pencil. This enables us to create things like web-UIs for Amazon, a world-wide distribution network, or to build SQL databases full of every record we could imagine and store it on a computer the size of a brick. There is no end to the power that computers may bring to us, but with great power comes great responsibility, and the pragmatic programmer will work tirelessly to reduce complexity of scale. A queue is a system where the entities who are to be served, delivered, or otherwise operated on are placed in line, and those which are placed first are focused on with priority over those that entered the queue later. There are many types of queues but this is the one we will use for this note. Using this basic definition, we can see that there are many opportunities to implement additional mechanics ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5525 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────── I have this unreasonable compulsion that I somehow internalized at a very young age.

Pay people for their commutes. Demand that jobs offer payment to people for getting to the workplace, and don't let them work you more than 8 hours (including commute) unless you're given overtime pay. But do let them discriminate based on how far away you live. That's okay because it directly financially affects them and is therefore a strategic decision. Plus, you can move closer maybe. 2. Consider closing car lanes and adding bike lanes. Depending on the location, this can do wonders for city enrichment. 3. Universal basic income, just to give people breathing room. 4. Give people 10$ for showing up at a park every week on Sunday or whatever. Encourage them to hang around and talk to people. 5. Build a fediverse instance for the neighborhood/city/state/country and give everyone a unified account on all of them. Don't let them browse other regions, but if they have friends elsewhere they should be able to see what they say. 6. Put your laws or code or whatever legal or political documents you use into a git repository, and include the full change-log as commits with the date either simulated, or added as a comment at the top or something. 7. Bolster small business and charge scaling taxes of any kind to large businesses. Encourage economies of scale to utilize their scale to lower production costs in order to sell more product rather than sell the same product and enrich their owners. 8. Subsidize or sponsor people to make in-home workshops and gardens. Develop ways for them to sell their wares with minimal effort - trucks that drive by and pick up standardized packages with price-tags and take them to a central market? 9. Build infrastructure that hosts a website for every address. Let the current occupants do whatever they want with it. 10. Grow plants.

I'm thinking of Lua tables which are really just nested JSON in disguise. Anyway picture a game of tetris where each block was a piece of data. Then, imagine scrolling left/right by "flipping through record albums in a jukebox" motioning while each non-center piece was sorta half-transparent. each "panel" is another json lvl
