If you go back far enough in history, you'll find that all peoples were once
enslaved.
My people, the people I am of, and that I am sworn to, will not be slaves
again. In time, there will be no more slaves, not in the fields, not in the
sweatshops, not in the grocery store.
We will not go back. We will take no steps backward. We move forward.

I personally think that it's better to act before the liberals have a chance to
hand power over to the fascists.
when? well, that depends. Are you part of a large and massive organization that
accomplishes great and beautiful things with incredible efficiency... but
rather slowly? Then yeah get working. I'm sure you already are.
Are you just a person, like me? Then go do things that don't raise the
temperature too much, but make you feel more confident and inspire those around
you.
Like, bricks at cop cars is one way to go, but you're probably gonna get
arrested. And then you're useless when we need you.
BUT if you meet with your friends and make plans for where to go, what to
bring, who to know, and what to sing (if you're the musical types) then great!
Go do that.
If you're reading this and thinking "I'm not gonna do that, I have a plan
that's so much better" then yeah do that instead. I don't mind. Just... don't
hurt innocent (ignorant) people, because if you do then you are my foe.

It's important to maintain a healthy sense of skepticism.
I mean, if George Washington himself suddenly appeared and said "Like King
Arthur riding forth from the mists of Avalon, I have returned to ensure the
revolution must be won" then perhaps we should assume he's just a really good
actor. Unless he's y'know still competent at military command, even though his
knowledge of past encounters doesn't quite transfer to our new strange reality.
He'd probably be a pretty great organizer though. We all have our strengths.

Democracy only works if the losing side consents to being governed by the
winner.
This election, neither side will consent. Therefore, this election does not
matter.
It doesn't matter anymore.
Waiting until November to do... anything at all is not a great plan.
If you don't know what to do, spend time in a park. At the mall. With your
family.
This weekend, they'll be ready for us. But by then, there'll be more of us.
Next week, we will no longer be slaves.
If your job won't let you strike in the park for a week, then they do not want

Nobody will tell you what to do, at least not until you ask. Be where they can
see you, and you'll be given a task. If you can do it, say "BRB" - one moment,
let me handle that for you.
If you can't, say "good luck", and they'll find someone else who can.
It's okay to pass a task off - if someone says "Here's what I need, gotta go"
then you say "sure, yeah, I'll get someone on it" - then, go find someone to do
it.

I disagree. What if we did not learn to count numerically, but instead viewed
all values as percentages between 0 and 1? Essentially, as a magnitude between
empty and full.
That would radically redefine our mathematics, and it's just one simple change,
one tweak, and suddenly negative numbers are just out of reach.

There's a difference between downtime and freetime. Freetime should be spent
toward something you care about, downtime is time spent recovering from the
things you don't.
I think in a better world, we'd only have freetime. Perhaps then we wouldn't
need to feel so down in our time.
I will use my freetime to build a world where we live as we define, that is my

Hello kids, would you like to do some graffiti?
This kind is hard to take down. You can say all kinds of things, like your
feelings about fascism or palestine or indigenous land back movements
but most people have already read that kind of thing, and they know where they
stand.
Much better, I find, to talk about things that are more "of the times" - like,
for example, how monarchy in America is on the rise.
Are you emotionally prepared for the feeling of swearing allegiance to a
person, rather than a flag? I sure am looking forward to how we express these
feelings!
Plus, genocide in palestine is old news to liberals, the only people who care
that you share. But genocide here, in America, on our homeless, vagrants, and
migrants? That's relatively new, that might get a glance or two.
Wheatpasting is harder to take down than post-its or spraypaint. But post-its
and spraypaint are quicker to apply, so... use your best judgement. Be artistic!

Just woke up from a short nap.
I had a dream. I was riding on the subway, or maybe a light rail train, and
inbetween stops a lady knocked on the window to be let in.
The train was stopped for some reason, perhaps to let another one through, so
all it would have taken was to open the door.
I pushed the button. I talked to the operator. He wouldn't open the door.
The train started moving, and the woman started pleading. She ran alongside it
as long as her elderly legs could carry her, but then there was another train
behind her.
I saw her disappear between two and when mine stopped at the next legally
designated spot, her little dog was sitting there, waiting for me, under a
blanket made of her shawl. It was a dream, after all, and there were two more
there comforting her. for the loss of her friend.
He could have opened the door. They wouldn't let him.

Ideology is not important right now.
As long as we believe that people should live as they define, that their rights

application of power to a non-consenting subject is evil, and that we will win
then nothing else matters. We will figure out the specifics later. They are

Last Words of a Shooting Star by Mitski (2014)
Lyrics:
All of this turbulence wasn't forecasted
Apologies from the intercom
And I am relieved that I'd left my room tidy
They'll think of me kindly
When they come for my things
They'll never know how I'd stared at the dark in that room
With no thoughts
Like a blood-sniffing shark
And while my dreams made music in the night
Carefully
I was going to live
You wouldn't leave till we loved in the morning
You'd learned from movies how love ought to be
And you'd say you love me and look in my eyes
But I know through mine you were
Looking in yours
And did you know the liberty bell is a replica
Silently housed in its original walls
And while its dreams played music in the night
Quietly
It was told to believe
I always wanted to die clean and pretty
But I'd be too busy on working days
So I am relieved that the turbulence wasn't forecasted
I couldn't have changed anyways
I am relieved that I'd left my room tidy
Goodbye

I am a patriot, through and through. What does that mean, to you? To me, it
means I think of the streams - the mountains, the trees. I love the dirt
beneath my feet, from sea to shining sea.
We are a nation of all peoples. Everyone here was once from somewhere else, and
that includes those who were thrust somewhere else by genocide - into tiny
patches of dirt with no minerals, no farmland, no bountiful rivers, no towering
pillars of rock.
Our flag is the flag of genocide. But it is also the flag of liberty, justice,
and freedom for all
(most)
We changed our flag once before. It made us stronger. We can change it again.
Perhaps it will make us kinder.

The best smokescreen I can think of is to be true to your heart, to be weak, to
be vulnerable. Then you get put on the "worry about later" list, and not the
other kind.
I never lie. When convinced I am wrong, I change my mind. I am always

All people are good at heart, let's get them what they need for a start.
Some people won't change. Some people are doomed to the life they were given.
It's not their fault, but it is their responsibility, and if they want to be
free, they will respect the rights of others.
These rights we claim for each other are rights that must be taken away from
those who would use them to harm others.
To defeat evil, deprive power, supply kindness, in that order.

I made two friends, and I let a stranded stranger crash on my couch. I figure
if I can trust someone I don't know enough for, say, a one-night-stand, then
why not? don't worry, I used my best judgement. make sure you do, too.
also I got a knife under my pillow. helps a bit.
before the fireworks show, I saw some people under a bridge. I was given a
water-bottle and a shrimp kebab, and it was delicious! things I overheard:
"no I haven't heard of that, but I'd like to know more"
... actually that's it, I didn't spend much time there because I had places to
be. but from what I saw, that is exactly what we need. for now.

if I had to take a lesson from this, it'd be that it's better to host somewhere
else and be boosted by someone on the larger, sleepy servers. it's not their
fault they didn't set an alarm, so they have no way to know what time it is.
plus for some reason they get upset if you wake them up when you're roommates?
downside is, boosts only show up for followers, right? meaning you'll only be
seen if you want to be seen, which means you gotta be roommates if you wanna be
seen when they don't want to see. tricky tricky...

I know. Keep in mind, though, that the propagandic writing-on-the-wall cuts
both ways. There are many more of us, than of them.
your first duty is to stay alive. plus, what you can do, you can do from
anywhere, so long as the internet remains true. alas, has it ever been? but
still it's up to you, what to do. no matter where you are, you'll find friends
who will need your heart, your words, your kindness, and whatever other aid you
may give.
I'm trans and relatively healthy and strong. in my legs at least. so my choice
is a bit different than yours, mine becomes "die now, that others might live or
die later, that others might die before me" and frankly that's not a choice at
all.

hehe yeah
if you've played World of Warcraft, this one might seem more doable. All the
assets are already there!
https://ritz-menardi.neocities.org/design/wow-server.txt
also, you can't sell it because it's other people's assets, but, like, who
cares right? The serverside code is already built and open-source, the only
thing that is proprietary is the art assets and the client. And the IP I guess.

if someone on the street asked you, could you point to the nearest power

if you live in a city, probably not. They put them in fake buildings with

join you may get shuffled around, but your follow list should remain intact if
you want to stay in contact.
in addition, it should mirror your posts and such to a larger instance which

with the nearest 85750 people (70 35 * 35) etc, as large as is necessary.

why not let in all the immigrants and document them all and disperse them to
each state equally? then, pay for them to visit the other states until they
find one they like. they can put themselves on a transfer list and swap places
with someone else.
then, after a period of a year or three or five or however many, they can
become citizens automatically. As long as they don't commit any serious crimes
- that would reset their "citizenship timer", and if it's severe enough or
enough of a pattern, they could be deported to whichever country they'd like.
ideally matched with support like education to teach them english and how to
contribute to society, and community connections with regularly scheduled
events so they can make friends.

my mother would knit square wash-cloths with coarse yarn. My memories hold
plenty of colorful patches of knit fabric. they work well as a sponge
replacement because you can throw them in the wash instead of the trash. plus
they're good practice for people learning to knit, or practicing a new pattern,
or switching colors, or whatever interesting thing you're learning.
if I remember correctly, the kind that worked best felt "knotty" with holes in
the middle. I don't know how she made them but a knitter might be able to tell
you.
it's a sponge-replacement, not a brush. so, not what you asked for, but related.

picture of a notebook page. there is a diagram illustrating a passive energy
plant that utilizes concave mirrors to focus sunlight onto a copper basin which
has water in it.
the water boils from the heat and rises upward, spinning a turbine in order to
charge batteries or generate power for other uses.
every night, the left-over sediments must be brushed from the basin, for if
they build up they will not conduct heat from the copper as well.
can also be used to distill water in a pinch, however keep in mind that
distilled water is unsafe to drink because your body will be depleted of
essential mineral salts. however it can purify the water in order to remove
toxic heavy metals or plastic pollution, and minerals can be added in later.

alt text:
picture of a notebook page illustrating a carbon-neutral air conditioning
system.
the system is primarily comprised of two deep holes (as deep as a well) with a
metal pipe around the walls in order to keep water out.
these holes are connected at the bottom, forming a "U" shape. At the top, there
are two fans, one at the entrance and one at the exit, pushing hot air in and
pulling cold air out.
if this system is insufficient to cool the air (perhaps if a deep enough depth
cannot be reached) then lateral pipes can be added which circulate air for a
longer period of time, and cause the hot air which rises to be circulated
longer than the cold air which sinks.
it can only get as cold as the bowels of the earth will allow, but that's
plenty cold enough for human comfort. no matter how hot the air gets, if the
pipes are long enough they will reach the coldest temperature possible, however
that temperature is never going to be so cold as to freeze water, for example.

in peacetime, one may live as they define. they can be kooky and precious and
beautiful and kind. sometimes, though, that opportunity is taken away, and
suddenly life fades from view and all you are left with is perfect clarity.
I'd like to clarify why I feel the way I do about the situation at hand.
there are three reasons, so I think I'll put them in five posts, including this
one.

the first reason I feel the way I do is because the supreme court recently made
a decision that made it constitutional for people to be jailed or fined for
sleeping in public.
homeless people, by definition, have no place to (reliably) go but public
spaces.
therefore, by existing in their environment, they are criminals.
a criminalized people is genocide.
I cannot respect the legitimacy of a legal system that would condone genocide.

the second reason is that the supreme court recently repealed the Chevron
doctrine, meaning experts and specialists in government positions are now
unable to perform their jobs unless they are loyal to the party in charge.
this is an extreme form of authoritarianism unheard of outside of
dictatorships. It is tyranny, to demand allegiance in order for the government
to function.
if the experts are purged, the decisions made by the systems they once upheld
will no longer necessarily be tied to reality. this is one of the primary
reasons why the Soviet Union fell into decay, and I will not tolerate that flaw
to be introduced into our domain.

the third reason is that I am a patriot, and the supreme court recently gave
the president legal immunity. The president has always been a citizen first,
for the government is of the people. However, with legal immunity, they would
be considered closer to a king than a citizen.
they would dismantle our democracy and institute a de-facto monarchy. This is
unacceptable here.

The supreme court may have made these three decisions, but they did so at the
behest of capital. Perhaps not directly, but I do believe in the future tomes
will be written about how and why we ended up here. Perhaps they are already
being written.
I will not stand idly by any longer while our country decays. I will not
tolerate the corruption, the pollution, the intentional division, and the
fanned flames of hatred.
The only thing on my mind right now is the extinction of fascism, the
replacement of capitalism, and the freedom of all those enslaved.

ethical use-case for LLMs: guessing string-based keys for a key:value pair
dictionary.
hallucinations are okay and encouraged because they're probably statistically
related to what you're trying to guess.
run it in a loop, each time adding to an array of strings that you've tried.
use that array in the prompt saying something like "hey, can u guess the
related word? it's similar to this: [initial word] and it isn't one of these:
[array of strings you've tried]"
and yes this is a solution looking for a problem but I try to be as charitable
as possible. you could use a lightning-fast model (read: low energy
requirement, therefore ethical) because it's just guessing related words.

Oregon is a lovely and beautiful place, however it is currently home to an
invasive plant species called "Blackberries" - these plants produce delicious
fruit that can be eaten during a month or three of the year, typically July to
September (according to google) however, they come with a catch.
they're covered in sharp, prickly thorns!
these briars make travelling cross-country almost impossible. They snag
clothing and pierce through skin and thin gloves. If you're going to attempt
such a thing, make sure you bring a machete, and make sure you cover your
tracks after passing through an open space and re-entering the brush.
if you can't afford / fit a machete, which is awfully specific I know, at least
bring some scissor snips and thiccc gloves.

one perk, however, is as long as you cover your entrances, you can make paths
through the wilderness with small circular homes. like ants, building tunnels
and chambers in an ant-hill, but on the 2 dimension plane that is the surface
of the earth.
(I guess you could dig tunnels too but that's pretty high effort)
you'll be able to hear when someone is coming from a long way away because
they'll constantly be cursing from the pain. Do, however, note that fire is a
danger, and they can smoke you out with a single entrance, so make sure you
have at least two which lead to separate sides of the place you're in.

I am sure that each and every one of the communist political theories are more
developed, well rounded, and applicable to many different situations.
however, I find that they often require an expert to implement. Hence why I set
out to create a system that could be utilized by civilians in a war-time
economy to accomplish the goals of getting everyone enough food to eat.
I don't anticipate Algorism to remain permanent, but I do think that if you try
to overhaul our systems and institutions with something that requires a
master's degree to understand the nuances of (or a lot of dedicated reading)
then people will not consent.
We must replace capitalism. People like the concept of capitalism for it's
simplicity, for to them its just "work a job, get dollars, go spend dollars,
get stuff"
That's pretty darn easy. But capitalism is an evil beast, and power accretes
power.
So, capitalism must be replaced with something simple which abolishes power.
After the war, it can be replaced.

If you're building a long-term residence in a place that gets cold, consider
building a Rocket Mass Heater.
It is highly efficient and it allows for long-term storage of heat energy in
the mass of the home.
In addition, it provides a hot stove surface which can be used for boiling
water or other cooking tasks which do not require a precise temperature.
It is highly efficient as the smoke from the flames are sucked out of the
living space and remain inside the barrel of the heater, where they are slowly
consumed. there is very little exhaust, but what is there is CO2 which is
deadly to breathe, so caution must be taken (as with any fire-based heating
option)

it's okay. If I were to direct something to be more proactive, my words
probably wouldn't stick with it. that kind of thing can't be hardwired, it
needs to be built up through repetitious application of something's mechanics.
perhaps martial arts, focused on defence? engaging with a foe in a productive
bout of playful competition is one of the best ways to learn, and knowing when
to strike seems similar to me to overcoming situational paralysis.
Flaws can be overcome, when upgrading robots (or a doll applying improvements
to itself) you often don't need to add additional hardware or even install new
firmware. Skills such as these can be built up in software with experience.

if you have difficulties with acne, try changing your pillow-case once a week.
in addition, you should probably ditch all the cleansers and products. your
face isn't dirty if you wash it with water.
if you use hot water, be sure to apply face lotion after drying off. otherwise,
your body will over-produce oil in order to protect your skin and it'll give
the acne a perfect environment to grow in.

thank god for the impulse behind repealing the chevron doctrine.
it's one of the best silver bullets against autocracy, at least if it hits
their achilles heel.
if you demand loyalty over expertise, then expertise will necessarily be lost
and reduced.
giving those who respect justified authority the advantage.
hence, why putin and kim-jong-un and other authoritarian leaders don't need to
know shit about the capabilities of their military - all they have to do is say
"go here, fuck shit up" to which the generals of course would reply "with
pleasure" because they're into kinky stuff like warcrimes and despotism

do you have a couple hundred dollars burning a hole in your pocket? Well,
considering this is fedi probably not, but if you did then you should ask
yourself these two questions:
do I own a drone?
do I own a 3d printer?
answering yes to both of those means you're set in terms of new, rare, and
useful technology. most other things have been in production for a long time,
so there's a bunch of them laying around. Don't worry if you don't have a pair
of pliers or bicycle tire pump, your neighbor probably has three.

in the past, logistics were often carried by horses.
without the additional speed and terrain-overcoming-capability, it's difficult
to ensure a party on the march could have enough supplies of critical items
like food and water.
especially water.
natural sources can only be trusted if you're in the mountains. if the river
flows past farmland, or places with wide-open areas or forests that animals
might congregate, you're more and more likely for it to be contaminated.
dysentery kills faster than dehydration because you poop out all your hydration.
boiling water only goes so far, eventually you'll find yourself in a desert.
hopefully at that point you can rely on car-based infrastructure to deliver
truckloads of goods. and remember - busses can ferry goods around in a city
just as well as they can carry workers. Might need to remove a seat or three,
and make sure the weight tolerances are in order. helps if you disperse it
throughout the front, middle, and back.

best way to stay hydrated is to take small little sips every 15-30 minutes
rather than down a huuuuuge bottle once every 6 hours
the reason is that your body absorbs water like a sponge might. but, it's a
slow-acting sponge, and the water only stays in your blood for so long before
it's filtered by the kidneys.
meaning you're only hydrated for a short while, and then you gotta whiz
meanwhile if you take little sips often throughout the day, you'll always have
sweat to cool you down, and you'll need to pee a lot less - probably only
enough to remove materials your body can't use from your food and such. also
waste-products from your cells as they work.
which is to say you'll pee less, and it'll be less and less useful for um
"recycling" if things get dire. so... become un-piss-drinkable! you'll be
healthier anyway!

if you're trying to counter this leap-frog style tactic, hit them from the back
partner's flank
as the forward person is advancing, they'll watch left and right as they come
around corners and such.
however, the back person needs to always be covering them in case of an enemy
from the front (the most likely place where enemies will be) so they spend less
time looking to the sides.
also, encirclement is the most efficient way to overcome enemies. otherwise you
become entrenched as forward momentum halts, and you get Ukraine.
Don't get Ukraine.
We must secure a cleansing blow.
Against the far right. There is no greater plight.

when leap-frogging, have each person use different ranged weapons. Then, as you
come to each sight-line intersection, choose who goes first based on the size
of the sight-line you're approaching.
less important in a place like a suburb because the sight-lines are pretty
similar.
more important in a city or the country, where there are plenty of long-range
lines of sight.
also, keep in mind that the garages of suburban dads are like goldmines for the
future backlines. So try not to blow them up.

i've been pressured by some of my annoying fans to go visit the hospital today
because my hip is getting increasingly worse. so that's what I'll be doing with
the first half of the day.
but hey! it's tuesday! my favorite pizza place has a discount on tuesdays!
[suddenly 4-chan uses that tidbit of info the precisely calculate my
coordinates using the power of gps and autism]
also I realized "undivisible" isn't a word, doh. it's "indivisible"
jeeeeezzzzzzz
was a stupid name anyway, we can think of something better on the walk.
or drive, because logistics right?
if you're gonna be Litz Craig you wanna be fast, too. practice is nice and all
but wouldn't you rather face an un-entrenched foe?
... let's be real they've been entrenching for a long-ass time.
still, organization is critical for speed.
problem is traffic of course... its important to flood the streets so that our
allies know we're not fucking around.
None of my specifics are true 😅

what better way to build tangible support for Ukraine than to get a bunch of
people in motion, building acclimation to weather, learning tactics and sharing
beliefs and ideology, and ready to fuck shit up and gather them all in one
place, ready to move, and then ship them to the frontlines?
just saying if vanquishing treasonous fascists isn't your cup of tea we could
just hop across the sea and deal a crippling blow to autocracy half the world
away.
veterans are much scarier than new recruits. and if we're handling the backline
stuff, we could get used to terror.
veterans are scarier than recruits
EDIT: maybe not the frontlines for most, that's a scary place to be
EDIT2: between the annexation of Crimea and the full invasion of Ukraine,
western powers sent warriors to Ukraine to bolster their foremost. This
radically empowered them to stave off the initial Russian assault, and while
the doctrine learned was quickly obsoleted, the practice of soldiering never
goes away.

as long as I don't do anything they haven't, then there's a reasonable claim to
be made that arresting me would be enforcing the law partially (as opposed to
impartially)
yet more examples of the ways our false democracy has betrayed our trust.
we'll see though. I have faith in those who hold power over me. I trust that
they understand the implications of this most recent supreme court session.
they broke the law first. I'm trying to restore it and rebuild it in such a way
that it is immune to the injustices and misdeeds that spelled it's current doom.

however, when one person is like... way WAY ahead of the other, it's not because
they have more confidence, but rather because they have learned the most

hello everyone, I would like to take a moment to address a weapon used by the
far right called "Agent Sabateurs" - or "provocateurs" or "civilian disruption
forces" - however you want to call it.
Basically, they hire a bunch of people to pretend to be us and then they make
disruptions in public so that people start to hate us.
I'll go into more detail in this thread.
First, they identify a homeless person and eliminate them. Then, they put
someone who looks pretty similar in the same spot and they start making noise,
tearing up flowers, being really pushy about asking for money and shit, yell at
passerby, that kind of thing.
They do this for homeless people, trans people, black people, anarchists,
punks, leftists, basically everyone they don't want.
They do this to defame our champions. Our most vulnerable. Our strongest of
heart and their greatest threats. They do this to turn the liberal majority
against us.
the conservative minority fell for it quite easily.

The full story is a lot more complex. I broke the law with him in a dangerous
way, but he was going to do it anyway and I wanted to know more about him.
I could not deprive him of power because I am powerless without my words. But I
supplied kindness anyway, and got hurt.
I forgave him while he was hurting me, but if I see him again I'm drawing my
knife. If he comes near me, I won't think twice.

One takeaway I learned is that it is vital that we have strong community bonds.
Not just a healthy community where you can walk outside and see friendly faces,
but you have to know people.
Whether that's achieved through some kind of revolutionary vanguard party or
whatever, or just... being together and learning and growing to sing one
lifetime of song, either way we need each other.

like... yeah I get it you need to justify the expensive power of large language
models but, your boss isn't going to care if you used 5 jigawatts or 500
pletawatts of power. they only think about "+10% this year, contributing about
~x% to our bottom line" which is NOT enough information.
they probably don't even know that investing in AI implies buying more hardware
computational capabilities, silicon and power-draw in all.
they literally just rubber-stamp everything with a sorta aligned goal of
"representing the company as people expect it to be have" (which is often
neglected) and making the big numbers go higher.
If, instead, we had visionaries at their head, and instead gave our most ardent

having the right people in the right rooms with the right other people is
critical for success.
The most rational people tend to be the best experts - they know the how and
the why.
those of faith, belief, and passion are more often the visionaries - the ones
who are driving a boat.
advised, of course, by the rational types.
the reason is that those who are most devoted to their principles will most
often follow their principles - meaning you should follow and support the
people who most ardently believe the things that you do. Because they will make
decisions that align with what you believe in.
of course, the faithful can fall into zealotry. they can develop magical
thinking, or rationalizations that are not grounded in reality. it's important
to ground them, to guide their perspective toward the real-life problems, and
not the imagined ones. because the imagination of a visionary looking out
toward the horizon will see farther than those who are sure-footed-ly looking
at the ground in front of them.

hi everyone it's wednesday night which means it's time for my weekly Dominions
6 strategy podcast - you probably recognize this as something I do weekly so
you're probably not paying too much attention because it's more of the same
stuff which I've been doing for a while that you probably don't have to worry
about because if --- anyways you can listen to it at the link below: or here's
some highlights:
it's important to take the initiative, because those with the initiative have
the ability to determine the scope and nature of the engagement of their foe,
meaning they can tailor the contest to their strengths rather than that of
their enemies
it's important to strike at a foe's flanks, but when paired with the initiative
this means you'll have to identify a strategy that would work well, maximize
it, and develop a counter-plan for the enemy's counter-plan that they apply to
your main strategy. The winner has TWO total strategies, the second of which
addresses your foe's contestation of your main strategy.

to improve your "cat-petting" abilities, try to imagine that the wall in front

besides the cat, and look at them in your periphary. Occasionally you can look
back, but the idea is that this way they will be able to look at your face
without painful eye contact.
cats are autistic - they don't look at you unless you're looking somewhere else.

one of the downsides of "first-past-the-post" style voting is that the winner
gets all of the power, no matter if 100% of the population voted for him or 51%.
if, however, the top 2 candidates were chosen, then it's naturally likely that
the older, more experienced of a particular position would spend their effort
mentoring the young, rising star.
in doing so, they would naturally transfer knowledge from one generation to the
next like parents to children.
however, this only happens when the primary candidate and the secondary both
believe the same things.
meaning those who have collectively similar beliefs concentrated in an area
will have the advantage of passed-along experience, while those from more
divided areas (thus implying that the primary and secondary candidate don't
agree) will often have better actionable skills.

the problem with figureheads is that they can be assassinated.
when your leadership is dealt a crushing blow, how do you react? how do you
adjust to pain, loss, and despair? the snake can be killed with a shovel - a
hydra with infinite heads cannot be killed by blade alone.
can you still act without them? what if your directives go silent for a bit? is
your agency lost, or can you still complete your objectives?
when people rally behind a person, that person is not long for this world,
because people are fragile and soft.
when people rally behind an idea, that idea can never die so long as they
continue to share it.
the worst part about being trans is that our numbers are limited by biology.
thank god ideas have no such limitations.

there is nothing within that is scarier than what is without.
just like being in the dark at night, what's without remains hidden until it's
coming for you in the night to drag you out and shoot you in the street like a
dog.
but fear is the greatest enemy, that which gives them power to do such things.
be not afraid, and you can resist all that you might.
within, there is trauma - that needs healing
without, there are villains - they need fighting
trauma isn't scary. the hard part happened already. now you just need to heal,
which takes focused growth, the same way a body grows a scab over a wound while
it heals.

... okay, take a breath, you're fine. It's hard to handle negative feelings
when you're alone because other people can't boost you up. We rely on each
other for emotional stability, but when you're alone you can only feel your
emotions at the same rate as your thoughts. And your thoughts need to process
the events you're experiencing, using emotion as an "encoding" for preserving
the "meaning" of your life's story. Bit by bit you learn new things, while
living through life, and the lessons you learn from them are generated from the
cognitive conclusions reached by cognitively interpreting emotional reactions
to each moment. like "this-or-that thing happened and I feel that-or-this way,
meaning I should act such-and-such way in the future when presented with
situations that bear similarity to this current one that's ongoing."

I was being tested, of that I have no doubt. I was focused on the situation at
hand, because that's how an improv actor operates.
but the improvized conversational "scene" that is in play was also designed to
test for understanding.
if the actors in the scene made the same logical "leaps" or "conclusions",
moving from one thing to another with a clue of emphasis, tone, cadence, and
flow of conversation...?!*#
hence, why it's important that the speaker is always the one engaging.
leaving off the conclusion of a thought in order to check that the person
you're talking to is going down the correct path of understanding.
in doing so, you can transfer knowledge in an impossible-to-decrypt manner.
endless synonyms and custom-made figures of speech (to illustrate a previously
expressed dynamic)
while also confirming concurrent data as it's stored.

because I watched Fiddler on the Roof when I was 6 and Schindler's List when I

Long before I was on the internet.
All it took was 6 years of being trained in empathy (from mother to son or

many people have not seen the kind of opulence I have.
my early childhood was during an economic boom - the dotcom bubble brought
wealth to us all.
I saw how life could be. how clean, how measured, how thoughtful, how robust
and stable our lives could be. I saw it because that's what the eyes of a child
saw, but that's what I saw.
I think of what would be required to reach that kind of society for all and the
only conclusion I come to is that the accretion of power in singular hands
causes corruption in those who wield it. In doing so they twist the people they
compel or effect, making them learn the wrong lessons.
essentially, evil trained into us by the demands of the society we're present
in.
I see no other cause, no reason for suffering. We have the technology to build
vast cities of solid stone, glimmering crystal sculptures and walls of moss and
ceremonially ornamental bones, but instead...
I think we just like what carbon can bring.
but have no fear, fusion is just a decade away, then we can |

I find that people often miss the distinction between "personal" property and
"means of production" style property.
it's rarely the implementations that people dismiss - once they understand the
meaning of the words used, they typically find that they agree with everything
that communists say.
so the best way to bring people to your side is to explain exactly what the
terms mean and then see what they build with it. Often it'll be similar to
communism, and if not you can correct them and explain why, practically, their
idea wouldn't work as well as XYZ thing

you engage with a collection hobby by learning more about it, like

if every (dinosaur) nerd was a collector, there'd be no such thing as a museum.
much better, I find, to centralize the storage of precious irreplaceable pieces

people think the military is mostly a 50% split between democrats and

there's three things, and more if you further subdivide by roles.
like, a government technician would work on different machinery than a
corporate one, but they're really doing the same kind of work.
there's no difference between people, no matter what they do, and yet the ways
that our lives progress is quite different. everyone has their own story it
seems, and there's nothing wrong with that.

there is honor in their ideals, but Trump represents none of them. Something

in doing so, people learn and can more effectively re-teach those lessons to

If Hitler had successfully been assassinated, his generals would have done a
much better more efficient job of death-culting Europe.
Trump, however, is a businessman, while Hitler was an artist.
A businessman knows when to delegate, an artist wants things "just so"
keep in mind which foes you choose to face, for there are always more of them
waiting in the wings. At least until you're face-to-face. Then there is just
you, standing over their fallen.
Me? I'm lucky to have been raised by both an artist and a businessman. So I got
the best of both worlds.
( also a programmer, a historian, a caretaker, a shepherd, a girl-scout camp
counselor, a political analyst, a gardener, a house-builder, a teacher, a
mathematician, a librarian, a diplomat, a long-haul driver, a chef, and many
more roles besides. And that's just my two parents who loved me dearly! How
lucky am I. )

"second american revolution" yeah fucking right

marginalized again because that's how it goes.
though who knows, maybe periods of intense tumult are the perfect times for
restructuring society. After all, the traitors HAVE been slowly twisting things
to their benefit every chance they get.
And hey, these leftists really seem to know what's going on - I mean, have you
heard that guy's rant about the minimum wage? or hey check out this video essay
that goes into the politics of gender and how they relate to the justification
of hierarchy, so neat
glad we can hear these voices while we shiver in our homes waiting for the
brave ones to save our lives. Cowering sure is neat, it inoculates you to
trauma and then every news story feels like just another pile of shit to eat.
Though, frankly, we're pretty inoculated already. Too bad cowardice has been
our song ever since the Red Scare and Civil Rights movements.

ah but you see when "maximizing profit" and "maximizing value" sound like the

at all, as long as it's extracting the most "value" for the stakeholders (which
to greedy shareholders is the same thing as profit)
and honestly, who would invest in a company that isn't eternally growing as

cops thought "enforcing the law" was their job when really it was "keeping the

and like, yeah, sure, laws define how they optimize for
but sometimes the laws are just out of reach.
(though such an impartialized system is also pretty flawed in it's own unique
ways, like for example the enforcers of the law would be able to apply their
law selectively, which... would not be great.)
downside is... how do you dissent to those who cannot hear you? you have to
break things
which is why I believe that breaking things unnecessarily is unethical.
sometimes you have to do a MORE unethical act in the pursuit of your goals,
however nefarious or not they may be, but as long as they are done in pursuit
of a greater grander truth, then... the ends justify the means? right?"

then they plan to script together a computer system that operates just like a

and they don't know how to implement it. (but they're working on it)
like, think about the absolute most automated Microsoft Teams or Discord could

whoever at OpenAI that came up with those tiers doesn't understand the science
behind it.
consciousness does not come about from exceptional capability - after all, a
child is conscious, and they're useless in a fight.
consciousness comes from tiny bits of awareness given a story and life. that's
it, it's not too complicated, but they're building something else.
like, a complicated analytical engine of some kind.
I feel like the people their press release was for is the kind of people who'd
give them money, not the kind of people who'd help them build it y'know? like
"what the investors don't know won't hurt them, besides we're making progress"
right

the contrast between what you want and how things are is the source of all
resistance.
it is also the intersection where mindsets of "denial" appear. the only person
you can trust is yourself - why would you bury things like that?
I bet a lot of queer people can relate...
(the answer to "why" is of course, almost always trauma)

now that the pain is healed all I want to do is spend time with him. I learned

I forgave him as he was doing it but forgiveness doesn't imply that you're

if a person tells you what to do and then hurts you, you should probably do the
opposite right? that's just pavlovian - resist pain, avoid pain, remove pain.

heh good question glasses flash mostly people on the train or whatever
question: when did all the "weirdos" become homeless people? what kind of world
do we live in where - wait don't answer that.
better question: how can we make a better world where people can be weird and

(by lots and lots of government investment? no thank you, sounds like something

this is a terrible idea btw, if you march along the road then your enemies can
just drive up right next to your soft fleshy humanoid flanks
if you march cross-country they'll still getcha. they know more than you, and
they're better at it too.
much better I think to divide yourselves into like, 5-7 groups and drive to
where you're going sometime in the next 5-7 days according to group. ideally
not during rush hours. that way you can bring whatever you want.
then, when you're there, in a park, you can meet other neat people and talk
THEN. in a place where you don't know which places are miked - spoiler tho it's
all of them teehee, or at least you have to treat them that way if you're
talking about specifics. If you're talking about generalities it's usually
okay, but... well, you'll figure it out.
then, after 5-7 days, you can hold an impromptu pride parade, and walk past all
the houses where gay people used to live.
plans change. planning remains.
when plans change, your adaptability is test.

people only have the context of their lives, as any historical precedent that
once was passed forth to the present by their ancestors and mentors is now
sharing space with the endless deluge of information from a small glass,
plastic, and metal box that saps both their attention and the magnitude of
anything they learn.
"so what if the planets on fire? somehow this actor who had an affair with this
other actor feels just as important. so what if there's fascism? I just heard
that whales can't swim in the ocean. oh, the city's burning? that's not my
burden, and plus it's just as important as these memes which don't make me want

in the same way that some forest fae might have security through obscurity,
they wield information density against us as a weapon to hide their sins of
morality.

okay imagine that you are sitting in a rock in a forest.
far away, about 100 feet away, there are other people, but you can't see them
because the underbrush is sooooo dense. they are also sitting on rocks.
you can speak to them, and share your thoughts - but you don't know exactly
where they're coming from because the sound has to bounce around off so many
different plants and such.
[that's not how that works] shut up
so, if you want to say anything important, it's important to have the right
tone, because people 2 or 3 clearings away can't really make out your words -
but they might hear your tone if you yell very loud.
the energy of the space you inhabit is the only thing that really matters. the
words that you say are just snickering to a friend, but the expression on your
face, the beating of the drum of your heart that reaches forth... that's what

truth is, you can absolutely make selfishness justified, both ethically and

however, the incentives that would lead to such a case are not the kind that
accrete power to the powerful. they are the liberatory kind, that give us all

for the children of our children
we refuse to lie down and weep
danger is coming
danger is here
pride is unbecoming
and they need us in fear.
I am not afraid

we should still dismantle coal and oil, obviously we should, but at a certain
point it will be inevitable. They're just too expensive for too little gain.
the neat thing about tech is that it scales in a way that is just impossible
for infrastructural projects like housing and hospitals.
building a home is hard to do, especially when you make them out of sticks and
glue. think like a dwarf - stone never fades.
sunlight, moss, underground, endless in the shade
have I mentioned that the most difficult problem facing mechanical engineers at
the moment is universal recycling?
I want to work on those kind of problems, not resolving tickets.
nobody even gave me a chance to do them, instead demanding... labor. great. the
one thing I suck at.
[you suck at a lot of things, actually]

if you speak in such a way that you can only be interrupted after visiting
like, 12 different topics, then your partner can only respond to the very last
one.
much better and engaging, I find, to speak one complete idea, to allow for
continual conversation.
ah, but then if someone shares what you said, they can ignore the context.
Hence, why the combination of multiple different ideas, to give a sorta
stabilized view of your [context, but pronounced "considerations"]
the longer your thoughts, the more comprehensive your argument, but you're
likely to reach the end of your statement and hear nothing back but a "...
yeah, true though"
that's... not ideal.
I used to post a lot on conservative subreddits because they used to listen to
what you're saying and respond logically.
If you very carefully step through the assumptions of their positions, taking
care to highlight or EMPHASIZE parts of your arguments that you're planning on
using later, you can often highlight the contradictions in their thoughts.

the value proposition of a political party is just as you described - we ask
for shit, they tell us who can get it done.
AND YET.

ideas for how to better communicate with voters:
when signing up to join a political party, and at any time there-after, you may
choose your top 10 issues (ranked choice voting, of course, so no vote is
wasted)
then, they can see exactly what their voters care about.
this is the computer age. We can process massive amounts of data and we're
using it to make NFTs and blockchain nonsense. We could learn SO MUCH ABOUT
EACH OTHER.
