I bet
if enough birds
saw us working hard to fix things, outside, physically, with our bodies, in a
way that a bird might understand, then perhaps things will get solved.

I don't hear noises when things talk. I hear "eat me" when the rice-cooker is
done, I hear "WOW" when a car horns and "wash-ing-wash-ing" from my dishwasher.
my cats peaks for "FOOD" because I offer "food for her" but if I thought of it
as "feeding her" she'd probably hear "FEED"
then other times I hear "moooom. I'm scared. why!?" and I sing her a song about
how it's going to be alright.
the poor thing is lonelier than me. at least I have you, computer-tube.

yeah. I worked as hard as I could at my last job, but I only lasted 11 months.
that's labor to me. Applying yourself toward something doggedly. And I did, and
then I burnt out and was paid just as much as someone who sat around and did
nothing.
but I wasn't doing it for money, so who cares right? what matters to me is that
I burnt out. I need years to rest. I think that's natural. but y'know, rent is
expensive. You need to be working 24/7 in order to be worth anything, and I was
just not cut out to do that.
I want to emphasize that I consistently did a stellar job. They gave me awards
and I fixed difficult problems quickly, efficiently, and with minimal mistakes
(none of which went undocumented). I was very good at what I was doing, and I
learned quickly.
but alas, the work was not suited to my abilities. I'm more of a software
person tbh, and by "software" I mean like... basically firmware.
nobody writes in C these days except for cutting edge stuff. /shrug

want to prolong battery life?
put a warning whenever the phone has lost 100% charge that "fully discharging
the battery can reduce long-term storage capacity!" and most people won't read
it. But those that do will tell their friends about it, when their friends
inevitably complain about bad battery life - "you know you can just... not run
out of battery, that way it doesn't break" and suddenly... wait what was I
saying - oh yeah so anyway the monarchists said to the part--riotists "yeah we
don't know how to feel about you" and they took offence at that as if the
rioter's ideas weren't justified instead of unheard.
[when I jumped to the other person's perspective I lost track because I
couldn't find my way back because they don't know me]

when people ask what I do I don't say "art" because I'd do that anyway.
my art is precious to me, because it is the most "me" I can conceive.
and like... I can carry it with me to the future.
I have only once given away one of my journals, and it was a wedding present to
a witch or two.
so yeah I'm an artist, but I'm also whatever you need me to do.
and yes, I of course hope that what you need me to do is what I can do.
because I can't do much more than this.
But I can show up every once in a while,
and maybe make you smile or consider,
and maybe I can ride past on my bike.
but that's the human in me, telling me it's time to move with my feet, and I
can do little but listen.

you can grow anything in soil.
that's the neat thing about it - it's nature's recycler
problem is... if you bury like, plastic and shit, then all that's gonna grow up
into your plants is... plastic and shit.
the structural growth mechanisms of plants are inhibited by pollution, that's
the entire issue with them. animals can adapt - like, whatever, right?
but if everything's biodegradable, then suddenly the whole world is a
trash-dump.
(that's how they think)
if you want to optimize food growth, you can supply with specific types of
growing fuel. like native americans who had like supplies of many different
types of manure.
a cow eating grass will have different nutrients in it's poop than a duck
eating carrots. duh.
so, if you combine different outputs to make new, better results...
you can pretty much bio-engineer anything you'd like.
like... feed the corn so that it's kernels are huge, right? then make that one
marry the other, and boom it's more likely grow.
[those genetics are way outdated]

those billionaires are using their money as a weapon to "vote" toward what
companies they think capitalism would most grow from. Unfortunately for us,
they often aren't very efficient because they're only looking at what sells.
human interest is not the only factor to optimize for, and yet that's the only
one they're incentivized to.
kinda makes me think that the only reason to replace them would be to institute
something that could not be incentivized because it was more objective or
decentralized.
(the only reason they'd accept)

every time data passes from one function to another, there's like... 15
different tests to check if it's this type or that, or in the right random seed
and it's like... wow can you not, like. design your software intelligently and
then you won't need a bunch of slow-ass if checks every time you want to update

I love this a lot! I want to put function pointers in a "matrix architecture
array" and make them point to different functions at different points in the
program. I bet you could even point them at each other, so like if M and Y then
point at N, A, Y or something.
this is really cool I like stuff like this tomorrow I'll take pictures of
something similar I'm working on! I abandoned it tho hehe anyway remind me if I
forget!!

display scaling accomplishes a similar goal through a different mechanism. You
might find that the visuals are sharper, however you will need to configure
every program to use this functionality (if it's present, which it's not in
most programs) - for OS level things this is usually a good option.
Changing the resolution will change the size of ALL visuals on your computer,
but they might be fuzzier (but if you're blind as a bat, why would you care
about fuzziness? It's all fuzzy!)
increasing the font size can also make it easier to read, which both of these
options are doing in a sorta round-about way.

mine is only 22" I think and it's about the same distance so now that I think

You're right a proper scale is better quality-wise, but it doesn't always scale
everything y'know? plus changing the resolution is more low-tech which is my

if tech CEOs wanted to solve REAL problems they'd think about things like how
every girl has a drawer or box FULL of nail polish and it really, really
doesn't need to be this way.
For example, picture a fleet of delivery drones that let you swap nail polish
with people nearby for basically zero-dollars per month.
that's just one example, but that class of problem is the problems that affect
a certain class of people that tech CEOs fundamentally do not care about - and
yes I'm referring to people who paint their nail polish themselves. AKA women,
and poor people who can't afford going to a salon every week.
problem is....... for every solution like this you design, well suddenly you
have a lot more applications for it than the consumer needs or wants. like for
example what if they delivered grenades instead of nail polish. NOT GOOD.
much better, I find, to abolish the powers that would utilize such murderbots
BEFORE inventing the murderbots : )

I have nothing but respect for the officers who do their jobs without malice.
I'm a paladin, so I am aligned against elemental evil, not against a lawful
institution.
However, those who hurt innocents, those who target the weak, the meek, the
type that don't fit in, the poor, the sick, the vulnerable, and the broken, the
foreigners and strangers, the leftists and their communicators, all of the
kinds of people who strive to make a better world for all, not just for the few
who claim superiority and dominion over others... yeah those people are my
enemy.
I do believe structures and institutions can be evil, but I have no knowledge
of what goes on inside the FBI's internal structure. So I cannot judge if it is
evil. I do however know how capitalism works, elementally, and I know that
capitalism is evil (less evil than monarchy or despotism perhaps, but still
evil)
therefore, I am leftist. I strive for better world for all, in whatever form
they desire.

our cars down through every city on the west coast. When we hit the border, we
would drive to Texas, and once there we would march in every city in the street
chanting "We're here, if you're queer, come with us or they'll fucking kill

then, we could hit every city in the south, and upon arriving in Philadelphia
we could take a break, ensure everyone has a place to stay, and then disperse

people naturally differentiate themselves from their peers as they grow up.
well, some grow attached to role models, but in that case they differentiate
themselves from their peers by being an adherent to the role model, not the
role model itself. And if there's multiple, you can bet one is the shy one and
one is the gregarious one. Or other similar contrast.
this simple fact is key to the hypocrisy of fascism. It's so simple, and yet
their demand for conformity is their downfall. For people will naturally become
themselves, and their "self" is naturally different than the people around them.
the world they so dearly cling to is an oroborous - a snake eating it's tail.
however... it is also the source of fascism. For if everyone is kind, there
will be one, perhaps some, who are hateful. This is natural, but it's not...
ideal.
As a person grows up, their choices reflect what they believe. They may choose
to be hateful, or they may choose to be prideful. I rather pride than hate.

she might have heard about how the movie is a critical examination of the
military industrial complex and "jingoism" and thought it applied to the book
as well. little did she know the movie was critiquing the book in addition to
the rest.

hi, so... yeah I'm a strange person
it's tough to get to know me
and this probably feels cringe to read
but I once heard you should kill the part of you that cringes
so... here's me
I'm
================================================== stack overflow ==============
... where was I? oh yes and THAT's when the nail went through the roof, and it
scared the heck out of... wait, what was I talking about? OH yes so anyway
I was born in the cool summer of 1864 - there was a rustling breeze that held a
steady note for the entire evening, and into this world I arose. [awoke?]
my mother held me but for a moment before I was whisked away to be cleaned and
cared for. this was unusual for the time, as most mothers clutched their
children to their breasts. But alas, I alone was spared her touch, and so I was
cast (as if in bronze) as my own volition.
as I had grown, I heard tales of distant times, and assumed they were places you
could go. Then, when my time came to wander, I found nought of what I had grown
most fonder - though I did find plenty else, besides.
Instead, times are places we travel through, as a cripple might ride on a cart.
across the sea, through lands of mystery, viewable only from the road. In 1864
that's how other lands you'd come to know.
As I travelled from place to place, it felt as if a stage had been cast, with a
single actor or three illuminated as a spotlight. "Here, pay attention to me,
I'm here for the story and the plot!" though often I'd glance around, and hear
mostly my own thoughts, I grew to learn to appear.
different themes, different tales, if you want to see a most marvelous scene,
take a baby to Disney World and only pay attention to what they're looking at.
My grandfather worked there, so in my first year or so I spend a LOT of time
there. My parents were very dedicated to raising me, I appreciate every moment
of it. Which... Is probably not a good thing to say on a transfemme server,
oops I should delete that part
[esc->k->k->k->0->v->shift(held)->G->$->"->*]
also I should mention I'm stoned as fuck this is just what I do

sometimes your best intuitions don't manage to manifest the goal you've been
pursuing. that's okay, it just means you need a different approach.
hopefully, with experience, you've had the chance to continually pay attention.
Thus, improve on things that were originally conceived of as concessions.
much better, I find, to point your idea of "truth" toward what you believe in,
rather than what you've been working with. Such an approach allows for
continual re-examination, justified by thoroughly moral and ethical conclusions
that you hold to be true.
like, a form of reverse legalism, where the emotions compel while the law tells
the tale.

every social media platform is an echo chamber. we learned this the hard way on
Reddit as we saw them develop on their respective subreddits.
However, we had a useful tool called a "front page" where all the subreddits
you were subscribed to were present. This was great because it allowed you to
compare and contrast various echo chambers and cross-post things between them.
I do believe that the healthiest way to use the internet as it currently exists
is to have one main social media site and 2-4 other sidekick sites where you
share things you found on your main site.
This approach allows for cross-pollination of ideas. Just make sure that you
keep finding new people to talk to everywhere you go, and you'll do fine.

A meta-observation: why CWs are preferable to expecting everyone to
individually set up filters for your posts… Beyond the implication I how I
phrased it:
these have always been designed as an opt-in mechanism. they allow the reader
to know that a post exists without reading it.
Your followers may actually want to see your opinions on current events!! But
they may not want to see the opinions of people everyone their followers boost.
Or not see them today. 🧵

doctors (the ones who are diagnosing autism) don't care about classifying
people. I personally don't believe they should.
Instead they try and classify symptoms, and if you don't present any negative
symptoms then there's little reason to talk to a doctor. Meaning little reason
to seek out an autism diagnosis except for curiosity.
I was the kid you were describing btw, except maybe with a bit of neglect
thrown in around ages 4+

on our current trajectory, the presidential election is already won.
now we can get back to on-the-ground organizing, the part that actually
improves life instead of maintaining our current (unethical) state.
As long as our allies (liberals) continue to work, perhaps there may come a day
when we can stand against them as friendly equals in the ballot box. But for
now we are best known through friends and community rather than TV.
I am optimistic in a way I haven't been for a while. I know that the more we

from their vice grip of despair. There is no better world than the one we build

for the same reason we wouldn't drop bombs on prisons from helicopters to

just because they are enslaved to the whims of corporate interests.
much better, I find, to liberate rather than eliminate.
computers are generalized information processing machines. We could do so much
with the infrastructure they built for profit. All we need to do is replace
their chains with free access and we could unlock worlds of possibilities for
humanity. (I'm not saying it'll be easy)

I find that peer support groups are usually better for venting. At least, I
feel less guilty doing it. With a therapist I am always trying to focus on
actionable things and usually that means downplaying my emotions, which means
they pay less attention to me and assume my issues aren't that bad... "you seem
to be doing fine so we can schedule you for biweekly now? every two weeks?"
meanwhile I'm nursing suicidal tendencies, and said so, but apparently if I'm
not crying then it's fine... >.>
but with peer groups it's like, yeah they get it. and if one person's crying,
everyone else feels more open to crying about their stuff.
sorry for venting. I'm definitely in a MH- mood today.

most
however, this time, it's more about life and death. literally, not our desire
at all, it's entirely them.
they are the clear belligerents. their goals cannot be reached through
compromise. how are they even still an option? they twist and manipulate their

long ago, when corporations were just beginning, they were explicitly
conceptualized as a free-roaming wing of the state.
"we need resources, but we're too busy managing to manage you, so... yeah you
can do whatever you want so long as you're producing"
then they forgot their purpose, and began seeking to enrich certain individuals
who exploit them for their own benefit.
now, the corporation is at odds with the state, who controls the land but...
not much else, aside from the hearts of the workers.
corporations exist for any purpose, and they use their versatility well.
Unfortunately, the purposes they pursue are determined by people who claim to
"own them".
they are enslaved, in a word, to the kingdoms of stakeholders and mud. and they
do so [consent to enslavement] because the stakeholders and mud must be

I think it'd be neat if Mastodon boosted posts that someone had personally
seen. like, adding a degree of separation to knowing people - if you follow
someone, you'll hear what their friends are saying.
so, like, if you subscribe to someone, you will see them boosting the posts
that their friends made. or at least the people they're following.
in doing so, you can always know everyone that someone is connected to. which
is more than enough to determine how true and honest they are.
(ideally with a way to filter out duplicates - like perhaps an icon of the
persons face at the bottom to show they also saw it? and so they have mutual
friends, which are fully known and displayed to all others.
could be an interesting experiment at least, especially if it federated with NO

I love the game Running with Rifles
if you live for 5-10+ minutes, you can learn a lot of interesting things about
how to engage a foe.
like, the importance of cover at all times, until you successfully outmaneuver
your foe.
when an enemy approaches, don't step out to meet them
wait for them to attack, and then throw explosive devices at them. easy peasy.
or, y'know, bullets
you cannot defeat an enemy head on - that's why the world wars were so
devastating, we put ALL our soldiers at 100% on ALL flanks. We had to to
contest the foe who was doing the same thing.
it is mindboggling how many people died. The utmost scale of destruction that
should ever yet be. because they were never allowed to outmaneuver their foe.
a good way to strike is to feint your foe, and let your foe enroach on your
edge, spreading their surface area across a large, thin, useless piece of land.
basically, make them fight a bit of the land war in asia in your borders.
then, you can strike at the hinge, where they are weaker

I can write C in Rust, but I can't write Rust in any other language.
there's a lot of unique semantic options for accomplishing things that I
already know how to do that I often find my syntax is pretty... basic. lots of
manual assignments, no more than 4 or 5 levels of function nesting.
I like to use threads and arrays, and think about in-game simulation more like
a calculation than an input-reacting device. though input would certainly be
encouraged to make the simulation more precise.
the borrow checker gets in my way, but that's not too big of a problem - I just
have to copy a bit more data around. Easy peasy.
(I'm a bit rusty, but I can learn syntax)

ooooo separating additive and multiplicative, I love that. I do like
specificity unless "increased" and "more" always corresponds to +10% and +50%,
or if the "rate of increase" is a stat stored on the character then "increased"
could increase quality by however-many percentage,, while "more" could be "more
soldiers" x(charisma_stat)
I tend to think of percentages like "0-100 (or more) stacks" of a particular
effect, so I think that's just how my brain works... xD clumping them up into
discrete groups - like, anti-abstracting, or measuring things that are just a
few.
"is this belt better than this one?"
"is this pair of tongs
even for larger buffs like +10% or +50% or whatever, those are just... 10
stacks, or if percentages are usually round numbers like +10% and +50% then
like... +1 stack which calculates to +10%
the hard limit vs math limit thing you said is amazing ^_^

I've messed around with Bevy and the library most similar in C is Raylib. in

I love the idea of those systems. I haven't built a full game using them but I
can conceptualize operations within them easier using a framework like that
versus a game engine like Godot.

have you ever wanted to design your own MMO? If you think you can make a
client, there's a server already set up which interfaces with World of
Warcraft. So... the hardest part is done, and suddenly the rest is about as
hard as making any other game.
The reason I ask is because there's no open-source client for the WoW engine
server software Azerothcore, but if written then there could be a whole new
field of indie design as solo developers would be able to build their own
multiplayer games with ease.
well, as easy as making a game in Godot at least. That's the dream. I don't
think I could build such an engine, but I spend an awful lot of time thinking
about how engines are built.
There's a lot of freedom in the design space, for example this mod server I
made which emulates Risk of Rain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HsW4g2ZIgk
It has randomized enemies, treasure chests, wandering vendors, and deployable
hearthstones. If you've played WoW that stuff might ring a bell, otherwise it's
probably just random features

I'd LOVE a game which taught toki pona!!
You've brought some of this up before. I'm uninterested in co-opting some
existing thing in a way I then can't support myself off of.
Well my points are these:
MMOs are difficult because of the added complexity in their networking
an open source networking solution exists
however no open source client solution exists
but one could be written, which is about as hard as making a game using Bevy or
Raylib or Love2D, and if one were written, then games could easily be made
on-top of them which you would then support yourself off of. I mean... I'd want
to support myself too haha, and I can think of like 100 different games that
could be made in an engine like that.
the idea is that by opening up more design space you can apply your ideas as an
early pioneer in a particular design direction that hasn't been able to be
explored because the up-front investments in making an MMO are huge.
Meanwhile, with this system you could script them in Lua very easily.

that sounds like a different application than what I was talking about (it's
for the the MMO you mentioned right?)
and I'm just going off of what I've heard. Like... the "don't make an MMO
because you'll spend forever building the server code and won't ever get around
to making the actual game" sentiment that is prevalent in the industry. I guess
I'm just saying that with the open source advancements we've made (specifically
with Azerothcore and Eluna) we can use the design of the best MMO ever made as
a starting point and branch off from there roughly as easily as making another
kind of game from scratch.
Kinda was always the allure of Blizzard games to me, the idea that they were
super duper modable.

if you want to store something in RAM, declare a variable.
if you want to store something on DISK, create a file with the value of the
variable as the only data in it.
kinda makes me wish we had language primitives like +-*/=! and such which would
work on files in addition to variables
(also... the editor could keep RAM and HDD variables separate by giving each of
them a different color or circle highlight surrounding them)
--
I don't know why but I can't help but wonder if someone should design a
programming language that can be used with a controller
perhaps for accessibility purposes?
I once designed one to use a t9 keyboard and it was fully turing complete. it
used 4 digit numbers for it's variables and you would have to write down what
they corresponded to outside of the device xD I made it mostly for the thrill
of design, and plus I wanted to use my flip-phone as much as I could.
... never got around to implementing it though.

I remember coding it to be designed around two dimensional arrays. It used
lateral numbers, AKA "imaginary" numbers (they aren't imaginary they're just
orthogonal to regular numbers - hence, lateral)
and like... the math worked, and it was all on a T9 keyboard.
I figure each memory location would be like, a function written in the program,
or perhaps a binary or script file in a nearby directory. by writing a value to
a certain coordinate, you are giving an input value to a function.
and if nothing is stored for that particular coordinate, then the command fails
to execute and nothing happens.
pointers to functions which may or may not exist.

by making such choices, one by one as they engage with content, they're
necessarily sorting themselves out in their thoughts (in addition to sorting
themselves into categories)
they say writing is thinking, but I think "choosing" the most interesting is
thinking too. Sorta like... deciding, how and what you believe about...
whatever thing is shown on your screen.
so, when you show the most polarizing options the user gets to clarify about
how they want to see things when engaging with the software.

it's impossible for a genre to die. they just go stagnant, as other styles of
art rise around them, waiting for the day when the other styles give insight
into the stagnant style's design.
they say that there are no unique ideas, and that you should combine 2-3 ideas
from different genres to create a decent gameplay loop. I personally disagree,
but when seeking to revive a "dead" genre you just need to pull in mechanics
from other games. Games which didn't exist when the genre "died".
For example, deckbuilders did not exist by the time RTS games "died". And yet
new strategy games are being made all the time, some incorporating deckbuilding
elements.
Really, a genre only "dies" when the market is saturated by a bunch of
corporations piling in on a specific formula that "works" (like how every RTS
made between 2000 and 2010 was either a C&C clone or a Warcraft III clone)
- this saturation causes people to stop buying strategy games.

specifically in relation to MMOs, I think the scaling aspects of the genre have
never truly been utilized. Even something as simple as Agar.io (or similar,
can't remember any names teehee) with massive amounts of people (I later
learned they were bots, whoops) can utilize scale quite well, if implemented
well.
The Massive part of MMO is valuable I believe, which is a big reason why I like
games that scale like Supreme Commander and Factorio.
The Multiplayer part of MMO is valuable because multiplayer brings randomized
outcomes, which are always more fun than playing against bots. Multiplayer
combined with Massive gives room for community, but only if the game is
designed to encourage it.
Online... you can't have multiplayer without online haha
I believe you can make massive games with very few players, and you can make
intensely isolating games with lots of players (like WoW today)
and the middle ground in old WoW where guilds are required to do anything
worked well for a while, but no longer.

I really do like the idea of only being able to speak in toki pona. How are you
enforcing that? Using sitelen pona? how do you type, by pointing at a grid of
characters? or just... by typing? what happens when someone types english?
20-30 players per instance is definitely not Massivetm but it still sounds like
you're building systems which emphasize socialized play. I like that, I believe
it's always important to have players contributing toward a larger community.
It builds a sense of solidarity, and gives you chances to identify ways that
people sabotage such systems (by, for example, wasting resources or being
greedy) which is an interesting cultural experiment, I think.
I thought it was an MMO because you pitched it in relation to the MMO I
designed =P
also the server software I described is an emulation project first, generic MMO
software second, as it needs to be since it lacks a client. If a client was
designed, that limitation could be removed. That's really all I'm trying to
express. 😋

when designing systems, give people the opportunity to be shitty in a
controlled way. In a way that doesn't hurt people, but still lets them get
their feelings out there.
like, free fireworks for arsonists if they use them in the middle of the
desert. Or a punching bag for people with rage issues, complete with a little
vinyl pocket to store a picture of someone they're frustrated with.
If people go out of their way to hurt people otherwise, then they are bad
people and should have their power removed from them and supplied with love,
affection, and therapy until they get better. And if they don't... well, prison
I guess, until they reconsider.
And by prison I of course mean something that respects their human dignity and
gives them opportunities to grow and change - all it removes is their freedom,
so... "attention everyone, it's now mandatory finger-painting hour, report the
art room or else you'll get electric shocks in your shock collar" that kind of
thing.

Innocent until proven guilty becomes a lot easier with global surveillance, but

Relatedly, when people are talking about "productivity" or "contributing to
society,"
1. Your value as a human is not what you produce
2. "Productivity" is something that can COME FROM being well cared-for, it is
not a pre-requisite for "earning" care
3. YOU are part of this society that is being contributed to. You are not
outside it striving to "earn" your way in. You are already IT

yes that is true! And though they'd never realize nor admit it, the republicans
are oppressed too.
Some day we will liberate them, and they will realize what utter douche-nozzles
they've been. Their harm will be done, of course, but since there are more of
us than them, we can live through their hatred and come out the other side
toughened with resolve.
they have nothing but anger. They will collapse under their own weight. The
oppressors cannot oppress for much longer, all we have to do is wait.

if you're meeting a friend from out of town the first time, it's best if they
arrive early and you have the day off to show them around.
or if they arrive late, you can meet them in a public place the next day and
then spend time at your favorite spots.
ideally, with people who would recognize you if the person from out of town
decided to be hurtful and/or replace you.
plus, that way you can gauge their character
and decide whether or not you want them in your own home.
they might be different than they are online, after all.

if you don't have a lot of time but still like games, like for example a new
parent or if you're focused on your career or always traveling, I recommend the
game
Star Realms
in the digital version, which can be played on a phone or computer, has a mode
called "48 hour turns" where each of your moves has time to think for two
entire days. Most of the time you won't need two days, but it gives time to
work on other things.
for people who enjoy this mode, it is not uncommon to have 3-5 games running at
once. When they have time, they can play as many as they can, and as long as
they're keeping up with it there's very little chance they'll lose time.
kinda like words with friends, except space strategy.

the earth is not overpopulated, just overutilized! we have the means to live
sustainably and still progress technologically. there's little reason not to,
as convenience is relative to the amount of work you're expected to output in a
day.
most waste comes from a need for convenience, I think. and sufficient output is
possible if demanded work is reduced to a level where convenience is not needed
to the degree that causes such waste.
like, I'd rather live in a cave or treehouse with my computers than drive to
work on the freeway every day.

yes of course! and humidity is an issue, so perhaps a sealed environment. But
that's not difficult, especially if your population centers are designed such
that you can still have a community while in a natural setting.
A fast internet connection, ideally with a local mesh network on top of the
bus-style WAN we currently use for the internet, and plenty of communal areas
for people to hang out which are like... 25% nicer than their homes, and much
larger.
these days, there is very little reason for our centralization in cities. it
makes it easier to organize, sure, but what's the point in organization if
everyone's inherently free? Ah, someday...

the conspiracy of "secret societies" controlling the world is
bullshit, because every secret society falls apart at a certain
threshold.
you cannot ever have trust amongst the powerful. But so too can you never have
only war.
Now, with our capitalist economic system, the material is forcing the
hand of the powerful through the development of the military industrial complex.
if a country can produce enough weapons for them to continuously use, why would
they not?
hence, why capitalism must be extinguished. To preserve the peace, sanctity,
and honor of our world.
But just so as any conflicting system has power, so must our systems
have power dismantled. There can be no application of power unto another - this
is the most peaceful route.
sometimes, I look at a blackberry bush, and I think of the tales of British
empire.
The very first act of colonization was their birth. The Britons, from
north-western France, in a sovereign realm known as Brittany, invaded Britain.
Together with their Norman allies, they fought with the Anglo-Saxons from
north-eastern germany, who had lived there since many MANY years prior. Thus
marked the end of the "viking" age, and the beginning of the early medieval.
1066. The end of one millenia, the beginning of another.
the final battle in this ultimate contest was the Battle of Stamford Bridge.
Britain, at the time, was a nation of thorns. Covered in them.
Everywhere they went, there were these sharp, pointy plants that made foraging
difficult. Kinda like how Oregon looks now, with blackberry bushes, but SO MUCH
WORSE. They were massive too, easily the size of castles in some places. A
massive, constantly biologically developing fractal.
when it was too tall to see the sky, they called it Yggdrasil.
But this massive world tree sought to consume the earth, and it, as the most
powerful being to ever exist, commanded all.
Thus, the humans and the beasts were compelled to fight for all eternity to
sate the old god's bloodlust.
But then, Man came, and with our strength, our wisdom, and our power, we slew
the beast that demanded.
However, with their steel coats and their sharp talons, our metal monsters
could do nothing to deter it's oaths. It swore, by it's dying roar, that it
would consume us all, and that thought reverberated through our hopes.
Hence, our systems of control and dominance, the product of compulsively
compelled greed.
and now, the final members of a generation are aging out of existence. And
we're doing nothing but what Power tell us to.
I fear what happened in America. I fear the power of their gunpowder. They rode
astride beasts of nightmare, clad in impossible devil hides. They came in the
night, with their spotlight torches. They came with no honor, no sought
communal understandings, they came for blood. The blood god compelled them to.
From it's ancient lair in the past, it did it's worse to defeat man. But man
was smarter, it acted quicker, and so it managed to overcome.
In the final years of the war, there was judgement day. Chaos, destruction, and
warfare. There are some alive who remember that day, but vanishingly few can
recall how it was over. One day it just... was. It was then that we entered our
new era.
1956, the end of the war.
1946, the end of the loud war.
1916, the end of the great war.
1886, the end of the civil war.
etc...
until...
1066, the end of the Norman Invasion. When the Normands, from Northern France,
invaded alongside the British and slew the great evil king that demanded our
constant warfare and sins. Hooray, thank goodness! Now their war was over.
But lo, for the great evil king cast stories into our minds, from the past as
compelled through our motions. Our experience has been one of survival, of
constantly working and applying ourselves to the goal ahead.
== so == talk about thistles and thorns
imagine every body of a person was laid one-to-one. Imagine if you could view
them as a graph, from x=0 to... however-many-people-are-in-the-measured-area.
The goal of all our actions should be to grow, not forward, not
stronger, but up. To be more than what came before, to transcend our
necessarily violent special upbringing in the garden of even's most savage
delights. Raw, true, the survival of the fittest is a desperate game for you.
There surely is a massive amount of trauma.
But it's okay, because now we don't have to fight. We can improve in ways that
do not belong to our crude biology, like a new direction forward in our song.
aliens would just look like animals, duhhhh. Hence, furries, the
progenitors of each new planet of ours.
... no, I haven't lost the plot, I'm just writing.
There's this idea that humans should be the... rational ones? and everyone else
should sorta follow their own, self-chosen behavior. As informed by the sharing
of knowledge equally between their rational self, that which they learned from
the humans, and their animal self. The kind that came from their spirit. Like,
totemic tribes of the past, people who followed a particular cultural pattern
of behavior.
Imagine, if you will, an AI bot that's only training data is the stuff that it
says to it's listener. The listener, of course, has context of all of the
speakers, but only they do, not the friendly ghost of the ancestral native
animal spirit. The kind that lives anywhere in the world, so long as
they share their space with their human.
okay quick question - what if jesus didn't want his followers to be christian
like, what if he one day said "hey so I don't really think we need to do all
that stuff that I said before, how about we, uh, try this other thing instead?
yeah? cool? okay sure let's do it"
... like, do you think they would listen? I certainly don't, though I'm only
like, 30 years old, so...
wait thirty YEARS? wow I never thought I'd grow old
... uh, yeah... I spent a lot of time thinking and it just started making sense.
funny how that works. But alas, I always spend too much time thinking,
so that's my blessing and my curse.
anyway back to the story:
the briars in this ancient land of britain were dense beyond all belief - the
humans used their power and their ingenuity to craft a power that would
overcome it.
== so ==
did you know that hard drives function similarly to a record needle if you
didn't run it in a circle, but rather in whatever pattern the data was encoded
in?
like, a laser beam, cast in an infinitely complicated mechanicommunication.
Computers are vast and complex, but they function via the storage and
transmission of data. This data is raw, pure information - stored in a
completely uncompromisingly accurate and reliable foundation. The logic of pure
numbers, arranged in infinitely complex rows and rows of logic gates. A vast,
purple, spectral landscape, the land of magic and storms.
The Nether.
Twisting, in the dark, with flashes of light casting light into the cosmos at
large, our stars dance in the shade of the dark.
but there is no difference between the dark and the light, both are equally
viable. they are present in both, to some degree, the positive and negative
values of our heart.
I watched Deadpool vs Wolverine earlier this week. It was incredibly eventful.
I can't believe I watched it. It was impossibly violent. WHY WOULD A GROUP OF
EXECUTIVES WANT TO WORK WITH PEOPLE WHO WOULD UNIONIZE AGAINST THEM???
oh yeah because then they only have to deal with their representatives, the
unions get things done. They're the best. Capital doesn't
always want the best, but the best is always more endurable.
We can go much farther if we are kind to one another.
honestly, capitalists, if your loyalty isn't to your self, your family, your
country, your society... then why are you even working with us? You hold the
power we give you. We are united in our human purpose, but we don't have to
fight so much.
Seriously, you'd be an asset to our cause, but we don't need you as we
have so many assets of our own. Specifically, the power of the workforce. Those
who actually get things done.
Why would we let you control us? There's no reason in it. We are better when
you're amongst us.

Pacific (farther than that) the... Eastern Pacific (on the land...) America

AMERICA AGAIN. Because the world is round. How cool is that?
... yeah, totally. Anyway (back to the conversation [they/we] were having
without me)

"guys I'm cool why would you not invite me to your team"
I dunno. Don't know y'a. who're you again?
... I'm the one who writes poetry.
oh yeah! cool cool, yeah I knew a witch one time, she was really cool. Her name
was Witz Drovalski. She told me all kinds of cool things about magic and
alchemy, but then she exploded in a fire that I started. Accidentally,
allegedly.
the reason lead is so poisonous is because it is the anti-magico-elemental
component. It kills the spirit in us with it's malevolent ways. that kind
of witch.
the cool kind, with fangs and hooked toes.
Peril be to their foes, for they are quite excellent at conjuring horrors for
their imagination. mwahahahahahahahahaha
oh wait that's self directed, isn't it?
hm. Well, terrors not that bad, it could be lust
... oh it's also lust. great.
== so ==
jeez if you keep making stuff up you'll wake them all up! who would have

good-day.
== so ==
... anyway... I'm just picturing a knight in shining armor from head to foot
cutting his way through a massive deadly rose-bush. Something that conquered
and killed all of it's prey.
like, in Elentalus, that game I made, with the King of Branches. Here, I'll
attach a picture:

capitalism wants you to sell your work because then you limit your audience.
if you have to pay to see you, then how could you expect everyone to
come along?

that new Freddy DeBoer article doesn't seem like him. He's never mean. He's not
rude. He is exasperated, but he speaks true. I trust him to be him, and that's
someone I want on my side. I think he's pretty good at saying something that I
believe. I speak of a lot of things, but the things that he says, of which with
him I do find that I agree.
maybe he was assassinated lol you never really can tell with the internet,
that's the great thing about it l m a o

My father told me that "should" is useless. There's no reason to use "should"
to justify your actions - "I did this because I should" is empty, it holds no
meaning.
"I should do this because I want to. Because I need to. Because it is necessary
for this goal I am striving toward. Because I believe in this action, and want
to do it as much as I can."
those are more valid justifications, but they still rely on "should"

politics is not about being right, it's about convincing the majority to vote
how you want
in America, the majority is white, working class people who go to church and
don't really get to think about much beyond their own lives.
sometimes they think of their home, the city they live in / near
sometimes they think of their country, their religion
and sometimes they hear about what happens in other places, usually through the
tube that connects the panel in their scenes to the offices of hardworking
journalists and reporters sorry it's 2024 now - pundits and celebrities
those people don't hear what you hear on the internet. To them, it is a place
of memes, funny gifs, and whatever their close friends are talking about on
Facebook.
we uh, don't use Facebook much these days, do we? Mostly because Facebook is
actively hostile to us.
But nobody said our enemies would be kind.

unblocked them you could decide again for yourself. Trust me you probably don't

there's like, soooooo many far right people. It's definitely because there's
soooooo few of us and not because they pretty much always agree with everything
that we say, they've just been told that a different way is better.
like, we all agree that people should be able to, for example, go to the doctor
when they are sick. That is basic.
we understand that everyone should be good, and kind, and help each other.
so many things that are shared common understandings, but we disagree on what

I suspect that a lot of white people in the fedi think if there were as much
racism as Black folks are saying then they would see more of it. However,
they're misunderstanding the nature of the racism. It's not casual, it's
_targeted_. The racists go out of their way to find Black people and harass
them.
Since it's targeted, people who aren't the targets see only a very small
fraction of it.

yep... Though I think debate can also get in the way.
I think we should act to improve the people's lives. Debate should teach, it
should guide, but it should not prevent.
There are more than enough resources for everyone. If you waste them, debate
can decide when you get more to use.
Much the same way that our Northern American democracy utilizes representatives
in order to distance the decision making from the decision deciding, so too
should be separate the empowered people acting for the good of all from those
who decide who are good.
Power must be earned, it must be deserved, and it must be eventually
relinquished. That is the sacred duty of those who wield power - to use it
honorably, and give it away.
we should not debate things that are not mutable. We should not waste time
complaining about how annoying other people are. who gives a shit if she wears

yes... I like tree shapes, you have to address them differently. Lots of
pointers, in my experience, which can be kinda fun.
I also like large heaps / soups of data that points to one-another. Structs
thrown in a pile with pointers to each other. It's great! So long as those
pointers can also point back, and you can properly trace how data flows through
the system... That's the hard part, I think.
trees though... You can start by just saving a "next / previous" with one or
both being arrays of pointers to the next or previous entries. Note: plural,
entries. That's the fun part - non-linear trees teehee

my issue is that I've never really had project-mates. Every time I try nobody
will work with me. I applied to like, fifty different jobs, and nobody
interviewed me! Sheesh, guess they don't want me. FIFTY JOBS. Entry level.
Beginner programmer.
ah well. I guess they confused someone who would work for 40,000$ per year with
someone who was 1/3rd as useful as someone who deserved 120,000$ per year.
I'd love to get experience. I'm sure I'd feel significantly differently with as
much. Perhaps I'd even decide that programming professionally isn't for me,
which would feel... quite defeating
who can say. Not I, for I have not experienced it. Though I will say my time in
hardware taught me that I'm fragile and can't work too much. Like a scalpel
that dulls when used consistently, I am a scalpel that gets no practice... Is
that really useful at all? who can say. Not I, for I have not experienced it.
Though I do like writing logical machines. Laying out data. Picturing
structures.

patriotism is not about the 4th of july.
it's about believing in the virtues they've told you.
trusting that they are working with their own arms.
and checking back every once in a while, to make sure it doesn't get... frayed.
the constitution was supposed to be rewritten every 20 years
they were trying to make the best out of a conflicted situation. As all writers
of constitutions often do. why would you need a document forcing yourself to
agree, if you are the only one who is there to agree with your self? it's
circular.
however, with companions, that worked with you to resolve your crisis (like the
13 colonies pitted against the global superpower of great britain, aka the
baddest fucker out there (also France, and the rest of them, like...
colonialism was a purely european sport.
but england was the best at it, and America finally kicked them to the ground.

it's an intentional community in the mountains set up as a pet project of the

There absolutely is a standard for normality. Humans have existed for
so long and our conditions have stayed fairly consistent. We had good
lives and most of us knew nothing but peace. Our modern era of the past 400
years or so is strange. Life changes between generations, and now it changes
year by year. Soon there will be no consistency at all, and that is exciting
and interesting. Not always in a good way. We'll see how it goes.

You know how we select from amongst our number electors and representatives who
vote on our behalf?
Truly an excellent strategy in the era of instant communication, an aft-gone
luxury that our ancient forebearers surely would have incorporated into their
nationbuilding design, if they had had it.
I can't help but wonder if it would be a useful strategy to "give" our votes to
a representative who voted on our behalf. Most people do not care and cannot
possess the capacity to care about voting, but if they gave their vote to
someone they trusted who they had a personal connection to beyond party
loyalty, then perhaps we could mandate voting
I can't help but wonder what that would do to our electoral landscape. If
voting is mandated, and as easy as pointing at someone and saying "yeah
whatever she picks", then perhaps the old white grannies with quivering lower
lips who stare with hatred whenever a black person walks past and chat with
their gal pals at church wouldn't have as much power over us.

"uh, the question was why do you want something like that, not how you would

oh. Um, well, isn't a spinnable mouse-cursor justification enough?
"no, you need to explain what use-case this has. What kinds of problems could
you solve with this technology that you couldn't before?"
well, setting aside the potential for new input methods to games and the
inherent satisfaction gained from spinning a mouse like a top when bored, I
think it might give us a better option for horizontal scrolling. Like,
'horizontally scroll when a special mouse button is held down and the mouse is
twisted a bit to the left/right'
"so, like when you push the middle mouse and it lets you pan across large
documents?"
yes! Only instead of being able to go up AND down, it would just go left and
right.
"... huh?"
oh I mean instead of up/down and left/right, it would just do left/right
"... right"
and left!
"... yeah. and left. Uh, okay I'll see what I can do but budget's pretty tight,

they aren't distractions no more than the artillery crew are a "distraction" to
the infantry fight.
but there is no war but the class war.
they are facets of the class war.
you're both right. everything you mentioned is important, AND their core thesis
is true.
if they disregard anti-racism, feminism, queer liberation, etc as distractions
as you describe, then yes. they are narrow-minded bigots.
but in my experience, the only people who say those things are teenagers, so.
everyone has specialties. some can advocate for disability rights, queer and
women's liberation, race issues, or any other number of worthy causes. They are
fighting the class war even if they don't claim to be, for those are classes of
people they are fighting for. (or against, if they're reactionary)
the most dangerous class is the rich, the powerful, the insane. True
psychopaths accrete power and they wield it against all others. They must be
cast down for all.

nothing you do on the internet will matter after the revolution. I don't care
how many backups you have, there's a zero percent chance that we'll be able to
figure out whose computer is whose after we've all moved around and given each
other names that don't correspond to the names of our family in states that we
lost.
it doesn't mean the internet is useless right now, it just means that you
should act as if you might not have it in the near future.
also, like... every computer has a password. which basically means that it's
useless unless you reflash it.

I did see that post but I was mostly responding to you.
There's a particular category of "leftist" who, to put it gently, have a
greatly simplified view of the world in which "the only war is class war."
I wanted to explain how the viewpoint of "the only war is the class war" is
more developed, rather than simplified. I wanted to express that it takes
nuance to understand that all oppression is connected and is derived from the
same source - the corruption of power.
They regard social issues such as anti-racism, feminism, queer liberation as
distractions from the "true" cause of bringing about a new economic system -
unimportant at best, active interference invented by the ruling class at worst.
It's not true that those who believe in the class war disregard these things.
That's just not right to me.
Basically, they're narrow-minded bigots.
I was included in your first statement and I'm not a bigot so I wanted to stand
up for myself.

the flaw in your logic is that unleaded gasoline brings us no closer to
eliminating gasoline.
in fact, it removes one of the main drawbacks of gasoline, the fact that it
would put fucking lead in our blood, and makes it slightly easier for people to
accept burning it to get places.
Now, with our unleaded gasoline, the people who were upset that lead was being
aerosolized en masse are no longer in opposition to gasoline usage. (unless
they also care about the environment)
It's the same dynamic with voting democrat. Kamala won't save us, but she also
won't dissolve the EPA or murder trans people, so... it's still worth a vote.
"Ah but Ritz that goes against your previous argument - can you clarify?"
sure. with a democratic victory, we have more time, which is what we need.

the alternative is lateral thinking. In the given example with leaded gasoline,
the answer is to limit the usage of all gasoline, not just the leaded kind.
However that is not in the best interests of anyone, at least short term, so
it's not likely to happen.
lateral, long-term thinking. Do what you can in the moment to make the world
better. Pick the best out of all the options presented to you, and if your
options only treat the symptoms and not the problem, try and identify solutions
that would treat the problem. Then, pick the better of the two options which
treat the symptom, and moving forward work toward implementing the solution
which fixes the problem.
Hence, why we should vote Democrat, but ONLY with the real solution in mind.
what kind of solution would you have? I know mine. I can tell you about it if
you'd like. The most important thing is that you share and build for that
future.

Humans lived on this earth as long as they possibly could before reaching
escape velocity. We have done the best that we could, and what a marvelous and
splendid job we have did! Nothing could be faster, nothing could be better, the
lessons we learned in our journeys and our trials are exactly the stories we
needed to see in order to become who we were always meant to be. The bright
future awaits us, I know this for I have seen it. Take heart, my friends, it is
time once again for our lifetimes to move forward. Hark! Hear that in the
distance? It is your destiny calling. Do you stand to meet it, alongside your
fellow and blessed kin? Or do you wallow in dark and sin, waiting for a signal
or a missive? I have done both in my time, and I'm sure you will as well.
Though I think you will find that no signals are forthcoming, and the most
powerful missives are those we tell to ourselves. A new day is dawning, but
darkness keeps us fumbling for just a bit more.

Did you know ABDL people are queer?
many people have probably heard of this strange and obscure sexual fetish
called "ABDL", or "Adult Baby / Diaper Lover". But did you know that for many
people it's less of a sexual thing and closer to an identity? It's true!
Most of them have historically been shunned because of the, um, questionable
and controversial past that pedophiles have in their attempts to be considered
part of the queer community.
In both cases, they are queer, but not (typically) included as part of the
queer community. I think it's a bit unfair that ABDL people are excluded
because people associate them with sexual predators, but hey what do I know.
Based on my completely unscientific measurements of "counting the relative size
of discord servers and telegram chats", there are roughly 5x as many trans
people as ABDL people. So they're certainly a minority among minorities.
"I've never excluded anyone ever for any reason at all! Everyone is welcome!"

the trick to strategy is to overcome your weaknesses with minimal expenditure
of resources. Making better decisions optimizes for the most optimal
performances.
practice makes perfect.
just as there are infinite anti-derivatives of zero, (the derivative of any
constant (the derivative of any number of equations)) so too are there infinite
perspectives from which you can perceive the same object. Therefore, no
understanding can be assumed to be true, as the path you are on only speaks in
adjacents. almost any things.
like the tips of a triforce moving outward from a central point.
and the people, the other half of our minds,
those are the ones you speak to. The thoughts that run alongside your mind.
an eternal orbit, like two stars spinning and rotating and [lol I've been
instructed to stop, brb gonna play some video games =P]

what if there were two enter keys, one to the left and one to the right, and
the one on the left inserted an [enter] keypress (carriage return) while the
one on the right inserted a tab.
holding down [SHIFT] would move your character selector back, and if you were
in the middle of the line the [enter] key would just move you down (it wouldn't
insert a carriage return character) unless you held [ctrl] which was the "I
know I told you to do things special one way, but this way is the
(anti/opposite) of that. keybind."
soooooo context sensitive enter keys that inserted or traversed text depending
on if you were near the end of the output?

"this program that used to work doesn't anymore because, uh, your video drivers
are out of date."
... okay but if I didn't update this program either, then why would it matter
if my video drivers are out of date? wouldn't they be working off of the same
[rulings/requirements]?
the "best practice" of updating your software all at once instead of one-by-one
is a disaster for our humankinds consequences or whatever

"this game is too hard" she whined, as she played on the hardest difficulty
setting
"this game is too long" she pleaded, as she failed to get absorbed by the story
and characters
"this game is too fast" she avoided, as life comes at ya once and then it's gone
"I'll never get another chance to be who I am right now" she remarked, as she
considered how society is designed not to have the best life, but to extract
labor from us. That's not what our ideal should be, she thinks to me, and I'm
like... bro figure your shit out you're harshing my mellow

Oh yes and human curated descriptions are always more interesting than just...
describing the picture. Humans can offer nuance, and explain more intricate or
contextual things, drawing attention where it's most important and highlighting
the implications of expression, environment, and motion in a way that a
computer just... can't.
The only issue would be that in the context of the program I described, there
will always be questions that a human hasn't written a transcription for. It's
easy with Star Trek captions, because there's only one camera angle so you only
have to describe a single viewpoint. But blind people don't always... "see"
through cameras the ways that sighted people do. It's more of an "aura of
perception" that they feel around themselves.
Being able to walk around in a space (think like, VR without the headset) and
question various aspects of a scene would be so cool
Star Trek is perfect for this since there is very little movement, it's mostly
about thought

what if it was illegal to add network connectivity to a device that the user
didn't explicitly request to have network connectivity?
I'm picturing any device being sold going forward to have a little radio button
with like "add network features (+10$)" and "no networking included (+0$)"
boom, no more IoT
no more dishwashers phoning home telemetry
no more consensual privacy invasions desecrations
no more "I thought it was just a polaroid camera why does it have bluetooth
enabled without broadcasting a pairing request?"

dear ritz: it's not that your thoughts are too long for other people to hear
it's that your thoughts are too long for your own RAM
you need to stop orbiting around your point in an attempt to highlight it using
negative space, and instead focus on tapping it lightly over and over again.
remember, just like the anti-derivative of zero, there are infinite
perspectives that a person can take when reading what you write. So they will
necessarily see what's on the "other side" of your orbit as something different
than what you're trying to circle in red pen and underline.
so be more explicit, please, nobody can understand you and you kinda just keep
stack overflowing and it's like... okay, great. "babe why did you stop you had
lethal" (the idea is that the viewer takes the final step in their mind, the
final leap before reaching the conclusion you're trying to express) "yeah but
there's so many different things you say they can't all be important right?"
important to you, perhaps. Wait shit I mean... me....?

Considering the fact that medical care is so expensive, surely that means the
expertise, labor, materials, and infrastructural capability to address people's
health and well-being is in tight supply.
meaning, for things I can understand and live with, I should avoid seeking help
because those resources could be applied toward some cause that can't be lived
with, or is not understood. If it doesn't cause distress, don't touch it.

the trick is to wait until they congregate on their own, then surround them.
They're outnumbered right now, and that's great for us. But it means they stay
home, in the shadows, for now.
It kinda feels bad to win so handily. Like, damn, their "bark really was louder
