all games lie to you when they ask you to believe their world is real
all media lies to you in order to share information
sharing is caring and all media is propaganda
you are not immune to propaganda
you believe the worlds in your media more than the one on your doorstep
friday was the first day the global average temperature was 2c above the norm
[source]
climate change is both worse and also not as bad as we anticipated.
It's not as bad because all we have to do is stop using oil and plant more
trees. the technology is there, we discovered it 10,000 years ago.
it's worse because perfect is the enemy of good, and we're all perfect.

@user-195 parallel is when two programs run simultaneously, like two parallel
lines (threads) that never touch.
concurrent is when the two lines are split up into chunks and the program
switches between them - like this: -----_----
*enter alternate universe*
parallel is when two programs operate on the same axis - usually time - and
never interfere with each other. the OS will switch between them as appropriate
to make sure they never intersect. Sorta like this: -----_----
concurrent is when two programs are executed simultaneously, primarily
constituting computation correlated with collective contents of coordinated
collaboration between contextually related coroutines.
It's simple, even a beginner could figure it out.

cannot be an conclusively ethical reason for war"

dying.

while they amass power in the background"
yeah that'll probably happen.

WW3 (which would spell the end for the human race)"

rice in the rice maker with butter, worcestersire sauce (not too much!) and salt
when it's done, flake hard boiled eggs (2 eggs per cup of rice) on top and

could do well with either a packet of dehydrated vegetables or perhaps some
diced carrots or green onions. Honestly carrots go well in most things.

did you know that you can steam eggs instead of hard boiling them? it's much
easier, and the eggs are easier to peel as well.
you need one of those strainers that fits inside a pot. or you could probably
jury rig something with a plate and a cup, but make sure they're heat resistant.
boil some water, put the eggs in the strainer for 11 minutes with a lid on, and
then cover them in cold water for a bit. boom easy peasy.

they climbed up to a tree and there they could see

how perfect is the, form of a cloud she could see

================================================================================
I feel like education, by default, should not be hard.
"you get out of it what you put into it" is something I always heard of school
but when I got there, I found I was compelled to become what the state wanted me
to be.
they need competent workers, to work the farms and tend to their industries, so
of course I should be able to do 3+3
then somewhere along the line it became... something else.
"most people don't need trigonometry." that's also something I heard. I disagree
that trigonometry is not necessary to be.
I just... don't think it should be forced into a childs head with a sledgehammer
and inspiring dread.
I think math is beautiful, it teaches one to see
but really, vision's not necessary.
not for what they want you to be.
take it from me, a most misbegotten and vile witch-to-be, that nothing's as
simple as they'll tell you.
I had good teachers, it's true, they taught me to work and to follow through,
but nothing about me is better or worse off from their influence.
Maybe I'm a bit smarter. Maybe I act a bit like them. Maybe they helped me
through difficult times, or perhaps they showed me a splash of my future.
but I am who I am because of the soul inside me.
================================================================================
"Ah, but what of your parents? of your sisters, your misters, your pets and your
conditioners?" (conditions)
those are not my choices. my intentions. my beliefs and my virtues. I judge the
world on ethics, and I express my feelings on matters. The words that I say and
the meaning behind them comprise my two-sided existence - I'm not who I'd want
to be.
but I am what I am and alone do I stand - how lonely is it on the precipice!
here, as I am, I stand in need of a hand or a band.
================================================================================
the world is blossoming
as we move apart, our clusters are disperart, and thus is the blooming becoming.
"perception begets reality - and lo! we only see what we want to see"
most people don't want to see their death
but those still living are oh so perceptive of the rest
"how cherished is she, that wanders with ye, yet now I have no way to beyold her
"
"keep not not afraid with kittens and care, and no-one, but no-one, I be"
the ratios between piracy, sales, and non-viewers determines the quality of art
(at least to a capitalist)
================================================================================
lo, to the ones who would've heard us, if only they'd known what we for sure was
I think it's funny how people think I speak of the christian god?
like, if he was a real thing.
god is generic - it's life is impossibly multifaceted, and it stretches back to
the beginning of time. it's a pattern of machine code that optimizes for our own
good, just to keep things moving.
y'know, time. the universe, and everything.
Ephemeren.
================================================================================
I wish there was an option in social media to "appear offline to this particular
person until I mark myself as online to them" combined with "notify me when this
person logs in" and it'd make it a lot easier for agents to get close to you.
================================================================================
just because I'm white, and live in America. Great. that's definitely true,
after all. Plus I'm a minority (trans) so that's cool. Oh and probably autistic?
unless that's another psyop, could totally see that. just y'know put a bunch of
pages on the fledgling internet getting people hooked on porn and gambling and
other stuff like that. really just an extension of advertisement. oh and hey
y'know they like fables, so let's give them some movies or dramas to watch on
their own. it'll align them to our culture and make things more pleasant for all
people who've consented. great. great plan. when can we execute it?
patience, once it's ready.
we gotta plan and make sure and get everything ready.
or not...
one day I'll come,
I'm sure it'll happen,
it's just... not quite feasible right now.
I mean, they've got you, that's pretty good right? Isn't that what your job is
to be?
isn't what
ISN'T WHAT MENARDI
FUCK (whoa no cursing) sorry

in pursuit of life) would be a cursed existence - a life ============= stack

the people in your life are helping you through it, they're there for you and
they've got your back through it.
...
this is when I know I need a break. I get too stoned to focus.
================================================================================
I think it'd be nice if the duration of your tenure at college depended on your
grades in high school. meaning, if you wanted a degree they tailored your
education to take as long as necessary. everyone would get the same price, and
some institutions would specialize in one subject or another. but most would be
generalist. but if you weren't such a good student in high school, then perhaps
you might take a couple years longer. however long it takes... and when the
program was started it was changed and modified to fit your feedback - it just
made sense to structure it that way.
