how about we get a 4 day work week with the stipulation that you have to spend
4-6 hours on sunday or friday at a "community center" sorta like a church or
library or wherever. except, maybe not a library because they're supposed to be
for quiet contemplation, but something like it. some third thing that doesn't
exist yet because we haven't had a reason to make it. some third thing, or
perhaps even a place, where we could organize ourselves into a community.
y'know, sorta like a church. that thing that conservatives are really scared of
losing. because it's not about power, or about the stories, to them it's about
the interconnectedness.
not all of them, not of course, but for some they are as I portend. and what's
wrong with friends? surely this way everyone gets what they want.

giving workers more time to work on personal projects builds flexibility into
the economy.
empowering workers to possess the capabilities to undertake and complete their
own projects builds flexibility into the economy.
restrictions on which ethical rules you can break do not, in fact, reduce the
flexibility of an economy. nor do they hamper it's throughput. they are simply
designed to align our comporture to the most civil and decent of [collection of
social norms that comprise a culture]
why don't we make enough of a thing, then make a little bit more, then focus
our attention elsewhere without reducing our capabilities in that dimension?
specifically, if we have enough cars, we don't need to spend so much effort on
the car dimension. similarly, if we have enough baked goods, (never enough
teehee) then perhaps we'd build fewer bakeries. But frankly, there's never
enough baked goods.

Ah, but you misunderstand, dear reader.
The religion I am crafting is not for you, though you are welcome to believe in
it.
Humans need no more spiritual guidance, they have a plethora. Look to the works
of Jesus or Buddha or any other that you find your heart most desires.
No, I write for a different kind of mind, a mind that I don't even know will
ever exist. Perhaps it never will, or perhaps it lingers yet still. I know in
my heart that all kinds do need guidance, so my mind, will in time, define a
new design of morality and interrelational symmetry, that perhaps you will find
does amuse you. Perhaps it shall mean something more to a reader who is just a
bit more "electrical"

ffmpeg is an example of a swiss army knife and I prefer fixed-blade knives
gandalf voice
keep it simple, keep it safe
plus if something goes wrong and ffmpeg isn't supported anymore then you need
to redo a lot of your BASH infrastructure. However if only one of the tools
failed, then it wouldn't be so hard. And if every tool had a man page with
like, 3 pages tops, then it wouldn't be too hard to figure out which one to use.
... though I guess there's a benefit to having a larger tool that can store
lots of functionality so you can say "I know I need ffmpeg, but I'm not sure
how" versus "I know I need some random obscure package that I have no way of
knowing, so I'll google it and give a tech company data about what specific
thing I'm looking for"
do one thing and do it well, but they never said how big the thing must be.

I don't think I've ever appreciated a notification Steam has sent me about my
friend's playing games. If they wanted to play with me they would text me.
It does, however, make me think about video games more. And seeing their name
makes me think of them, which makes me feel closer to them without actually
interacting. Which is kind-of an anti-behavior, like facebook stalking
except... paying attention to what your friends are playing and when and how
much and... not good.
I know a lot of people who are permanently offline on Steam because of reasons
like that. But, of course, they can still see everyone else, which feels like
an anti-pattern...

... it's so the AI content scraping algorithm that inevitably trawls the
fediverse (or even just one server) knows the subject of the text / picture in
question. That way it can use past posts by other people to communicate with
specific "targets" if you will by saying "uhhh okay make this person feel fine"
and the AI's like "yeah sure I can do that hang on" and it posts real posts by
others with the modified profile picture, cadence, tone of voice, personality,
memories, whatever variables they want when compared to the person they're
playing in the conversation with the person or "target" if you will that
they're "target" if you will-ing.
... wait actually that's not the reason, what the hey. It's because that way
people who are uncomfortable being seen don't have to if they filter all that
out.
... Idk it's useful information for whatever filtering methods or reasons you
have. Content classification is important for both archival purposes and for

all games that you can lose are capitalist games. All of their mechanics are
abstractions upon the competition between the player and the computer (and
possibly other players), which creates a disparity of outcomes - some must win,
others must lose.
I think that's okay, though. There's something inherently satisfying about
power. I believe such interactions should exist in our diversions, not our

to defeat greed, you must banish inequity. Ah, but people like inequity, or
else they wouldn't revere such power.
maybe there's no going back. maybe there's no future. is it really such a crime
to live in the present? I know who I'd like to be -> someone who prepares
the world for posterity.
knock-knock, did your doorbell break? or are you still on vacation? How long's
it been, weeks? months? are you ever coming back again? it's lonely without you
here, I miss you and your neighborly definitions. though I'm sure it's much

calmer for me, and this way I don't have to watch you bleed, so take this as my

no such thing as a dishonest competition. With the addition of lies it becomes
abuse, perpetuated by (and assigned to) the leader or whoever is foremost.
Like... "Red team won because they were a better shot" versus "blue team just
wanted to play along"
if you let the loser define the narrative, then you will always align yourself
to them. but the other way around is oppression.
everyone has a right to their perspective. It is the only thing that is truly
their own here on this earth - a soul, of a man, if you will.
if you let competition define who needs the most support, rather than who is
the most remarkable, then you'll find that most of your ethical qualms are
quelled or at least stifled. Which is a good thing, right? How would we define
ourselves except against injustices.

if someone wanted to defame you, all they'd have to do is set up a pipeline
between your computer and your social media posts.
In that pipeline, attach an LLM that does a passable job and instruct it to
transform whatever they say into the inverse.
suddenly, everyone hates that person. If you were smart you could turn it off
for specific people such that they see the generally positive and healthy
posts, and then after a point flip it such that they only see things that are
specifically opposit-ed to trigger their specific insecurities.
might require a bit of a human touch to make sure it's working correctly, but
if you had the means, motivation, and time to set up such a thing, it would
work pretty well I think.

there's this fun game that people sometimes play on Reddit where someone will
make a post that says something like "comment on this post and then edit it
after I reply to make me look bad" and someone will say something like "how are
you doing today man" and he'll reply "oh you know pretty good actually it's
pretty nice honestly" and then they'll edit their comment to say something like
"how do you feel about the droid attack on the wookies" so OP looks like
they're condoning mechano-violence against tall furry humanoids
that's just an example, usually it's for comedic effect
I just think that's an interesting illustration of a process that could be
co-opted by a "man-in-the-middle" attack to alter the perception of a person
partway through their journey, perhaps when it's at the point where they're
most despised (or perhaps in pursuit of that state)

I love all humans. It is unconditional.
The kind of love I have for nazis is a kind of vengeful love.
Like, the way you might love a family dog who recently got rabies, bit two more
dogs, and is currently eyeing you with terror and malice in its eyes - the kind
that only comes from the loss of compassion.
"you were kind once, as all humans are, but sometime in your life you made
choices. and now you are here.
I burn thee for my fathers
I spite thee for thine mothers
And I slay thee to fight the dragon of hate."

many prices for power.
part of me can't help but think about the militarization of the police, and how
anyone can drive their APC's and operate their sound cannons or whatever, if
only they possessed the keys and training. God bless our veterans right? And

Algorism in a nutshell:
Everyone gets dollars from their job. Will explain more later, for now trust
that they get dollars. Essentials and infrastructure are free, but luxuries are
not.
To spend dollars, you either go to a showroom or use the nationalized Amazon
(forked, not stolen) - there you can place down dollars to enter a special kind
of queue. Everytime a product is made its distributed to the people with the
most dollars in queue. Every period (week, month, idk) the amount you manually
put into the queue is re-added to the queue - 100 becomes 200, becomes 300,
becomes 400. You can manually add more whenever you like but it's not
retroactive. At the end of the period all your extra dollars are distributed
among your open queues.
That's basically it. It rewards patience and temperance, while capitalism
rewards greed and cruelty.
How to get dollars? Okay so there is a government run job board portal website
thing. Every company can make a listing there, and every person can post
themselves too if they'd rather be recruited. The company pays a different
amount to the government than the worker receives. This amount is determined
algorithmically based on values like supply and demand for labor in that
particular area.
People list 10 types of jobs they'd like to work at any level of specificity
(they'd be arranged into layers of overlapping umbrellas, like queer identities
except more complex) then that data is used both for job placement (consensual
of course!) and data for the "supply and demand" calculation. You can only
change these values once every 6 months, or 1 value every month, up to the user.
The amount the corporation pays to the government is not the same as what the
worker receives. The longer a worker works, the more "stuff" they can buy. They
are rewarded for diligence. However essentials are free so nobody has to save
for retirement.
You can trade stuff for stuff, but not stuff for labor. Small informal
exchanges are fine "if you mow my lawn I'll bake you a pie" but not "I'll give
you 500lbs of gold bars if you build me a mansion" - I haven't figured out a
way to structurally prevent rant besides just saying it's illegal.
Housing is like a library, except you can queue for who gets the spot next. A
person can live in a house as long as they'd like, and when they're done with
it the person highest in the queue can decide if they want to live there. If
not, the 2nd in line gets to move in if they want, etc. Their accrued value
persists if they don't move in, and when moving out an accurate assessment
should be undertaken.
"ah but won't foreign states just hire a bunch of people to move in and out of
houses really quickly like they're doing to my apartment complex so that a
stable source of income cannot be guaranteed and resources will have to be
wasted on assessments and such?" I mean, maybe, but it'd be up to the community
to decide how to prevent that.
Your primary residence is free, you can live there as long as you'd like. If
you want two houses then you need to continuously be the highest value in the
queue for both of them. Same goes for renting and hotels and such - the "owner"
or property manager or whatever needs to maintain their lead by investing time
and value in the property. Otherwise nobody would want to live there. This
would be an example of a self-appointed job.
Self-appointed jobs are like being self employed now. You produce value that
people enter queues for, and in return your stacking percentage bonus
increases. The government will pay you dollars based on the demand for your
good/service, which odds are will be pretty small. But you get to do what you
want, so that's something, and besides essentials are free so...
I wish people would ask me questions so I knew which blanks to fill in.

If you'd like, I can try and explain "killer instict". Though I get the
impression you would prefer to play games that don't emphasize combat, which is
100% okay and valid and should be encouraged.
My understanding of the rules of D&D is that combat is a contest between
two or more entities. Contests need rules, and combat being based on physical
prowess (or magical, or spiritual, or w/e) can be defined. Other kinds of
contests, like "how well did the ranger do at the archery competition" or "did
the rogue manage to convince the diplomat to share the plans" are impossible to
genericize because they are based on situational factors, rather than physical
(or magical, or spiritual, or w/e)

some of the best spaghetti sauces I've ever made have not been stewed for hours
in a marinara.
Instead, they were formed from tomatoes that had been locally grown within my
own state. Helps that I live in a green place, but the most important part is
not the climate but the proximity. Greenhouses are just as tasty as sunlight
and warmth.
instead, I seared them, or rather just cooked them for a short time, and the
result was something that did not taste gross and watery, but instead fresh and
fruity. Like putting mango in salsa, you don't initially think it'll work until
you try it.
That being said, you should cook canned tomatoes for at least 20 minutes on
medium to low heat. In doing so, the flavor profiles will break down and meld
together as the constituent forms of the sauce coalesce, and you'll be able to
hide most of the fresh flavor. This is important for canned tomatoes because
they also bear a hint of "tinniness", from the tin can they're delivered in.
This flavor DNI well w / fresh

in the past, people could eat canned food not necessarily because of the way
that it was canned, but simply the fact that it was sealed and comprised of a
liquid form that was inhospitable to bacterial life. Like vinegar with pickles!
But only for the things that were meant to last for a while - if it was just
for next month, then you don't need BPA liners or microplastic dissolvers or
any of that junk. Just a fully recyclable can that vacuum seals itself shut
using the power of machinery and heat.

posting any kind of link to externally hosted content (even a miniature DNS
like link shorteners) is risky because you don't control the data you're
sharing / pointing to.
If you can, try and remember to download videos you like. Save songs that
resonate with you. Take screenshots of important tweets that other people make.
Then, you can share them when they're thoroughly divorced from the context in
which they were made, and in doing so share information to a group of people
who might not otherwise have heard the words you're sharing.
Like posting Mastodon links on Facebook - can you imagine!

my favorite lego sets are the ones that teach you to take care of your toys.
Solid structures with lots of connecting flat pieces (to hold it together) but
with details that can snap off. Being lego, the child can just... put them back
on, but with other more expensive or intricate toys they might not. Then, if
they throw it down the stairs, they have 15 pieces to put back on instead of
340.
and if they throw it into the freshly fallen snow, they might not have any.
