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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

lifetime of song, either way we need each other.

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

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
of you is the most interesting thing in the world - stare at anything else
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.
most people stare at cats when they are engaging with them, and totally ignore
them otherwise.

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.

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.

highly, highly recommend having a smart phone and a dumb phone at the same
time. The smart phone can be wi-fi only so you don't have to pay for it,
just... have it around in-case you need it. Use it for things like playing
Magic Survival or messaging from bed, but use your flip phone for all the

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 |

the reason drug legalization works is because nobody wants to do fentanyl. that

why bother? legalize them all, or perhaps only the safest and most potent, so

unless of course they want you dead. sure makes sense to me why the dealers who

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

hobbies are for getting better at something, not consistently accumulating more

you engage with a collection hobby by learning more about it, like
paleontologists who study fossils.
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
and study them from afar.
hence, tool libraries as the more ethical form of "means of production"
dispersal.

people think the military is mostly a 50% split between democrats and
republicans.
but really a soldier is a soldier, and people are democrats and republicans.
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.
gives me hope against the far right, who seems to have forgotten it's role as a
cog in a machine - not a cancerous consumption of the rest.
there is honor in their ideals, but Trump represents none of them. Something
else is festering there, a disease known by many names: "far right
nationalism", "white supremacy", "etc etc", "[redacted]", and many others.
the GOP must be reformed. It must denounce fascism. It must do it now.

I fundamentally believe that governance should be structured in such a way that
people are encouraged to make good decisions.
positive reinforcement, not punishment for breaking rank.
in doing so, people learn and can more effectively re-teach those lessons to
the children.
basically... if you're not constantly stressed out, you have more mental energy
to focus on improving yourself and being a better parent.
the power of the nuclear family came from the stay-at-home parent mechanic, not
the toxic masculinely domineering culture that it became.
[I don't like talking about toxic masculinity because it's not masculine to
gloat and step over your peers. feels like some other impulse other than
masculinity.]

if you aren't organized enough to protect your commanders, then you don't
deserve leaders.
build the structure first. build it on honesty and trust and dedication toward
a goal. then build the necessary adaptations as you encounter problems, trying
vaguely to head in a particular direction, and eventually you'll become
self-sustaining.

Donald Trump is a political leader.
Their next leader will be a military one.
Don't let them transition too quickly. Gatekeep.
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. )

the only method that needs to fail for them to realize what you're saying as
truth is their method to vote.
they will quickly grasp for power they once held and realize it was little more
than an "I OWE YOU"
Then, they might listen. Then, they might hear.

ah nuts, they replaced my LLM setup with one that outputs gibberish. I swear it
was working just a moment ago, and I didn't change it's configuration at all,
and it's local only... right? so uh that's weird, surely it's not because they
altered some value somewhere that I have no access to
eh, maybe the newest technologies are overrated. At least, the software ones.

for the autistic / ADHD people in the audience, I recommend this:
https://kinektdesign.com/products/gear-ring
It's currently 90% off and when a company puts their stuff for sale at 90% off
you know there's a reason. I bought mine more than a decade ago for 200+
dollars, now they're 25$
If I had a million dollars I'd make these the signet ring of my house, but alas
I have but few dollars

most people have no idea what's going on in politics. Absolutely no conception.
It's all just "good/bad thing happened today, here's how the pundits feel about
it" it's literally scenery to them.
why would they care? nothing changes for them.

"second american revolution" yeah fucking right
it's liberals versus fascists, and once the liberals win the leftists will be
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.
