low-drama... or normal drama? people who are prone to histrionics can be
exhausting, and it's often exhausting for them as well. Drama and excitement is
what gets them through the day, while most people are driven by something more
inertial or instinctual or goal-focused.
you don't have to be on all the time. if you're tired, then rest! if you're
hungry, then eat! if you're thirsty, then drink! if you're lonely, then speak,
if you're sad, then cry, if you see some friends at a party, then dance like
tomorrow you might die. That's how I like to be, and I think it's a decent way
to be.
it can be prone to dramatics though... YMMV

Why are you buying bumper stickers and flair? You could be spending that on 3d
printers!
Unrelated, but companies are wasting their time at pride. Wanna know how you
can help? Pick 15 attendees and pay for their entire Amazon wishlists. Then,
have a competition with all the other companies for fame and prestige of who
bought the best gifts (that are explicitely asked for and randomly assigned)
while they work to secure the rest of the things they need. The things that
can't be bought, the things which utilize gifts from Amazon shopping lists, the
organizations and groups of people working toward a common goal. The common
goal that queer people share, the liberation of all of mankind. Corporations
could actually help them work toward that by tangibly improving their material
conditions. Like by buying everything on their Amazon wishlists. (that's just
an example, doesn't have to be amazon, but that kind of vibe. Giving them
everything they have previously had need of, but couldn't access. The idea
being that they would then implement those newfound capabilities, through their
own usage or in the guided manipulations of another's will. Like a teacher to a
child, bringing forth understandings the child may use in their future lives,
people may be given new capabilities and taught how to use tools that the
teacher might have placed on their Amazon shopping list, and were subsequently
provided by a corporation sponsoring a small segment of pride, but did not
possess the time to use. They may possess the functionality (skills and muscle
memory and such) yo utilize those new tools, but without the time to do so they
cannot. So, they might teach another, who then might provide the same impulse
that the sponsored person (with the fulfilled Amazon wishlist) was initially
guided. (by). Like, if bought a 3D printer, I might spend a hundred hours
learning how to do it, I might spend 50 if I was taught one-on-one. But someone
who already knows how to use it could use it (have it instead) and fulfill the
need that I had which initially encouraged me to reach for a 3D printer I
neither possessed not owned nor could operate. The need remains, and may be
fulfilled by the person who was given the 3D printer who can use the 3D printer
by the person who was fulfilled it from their Amazon wishlist by the
corporation who believed in the same common goal as the queer liberation of
humanity and eternity.

Many autistic people will identify one particular way to do things and then be
only capable of doing it that way. Like, falling asleep on the left side with
their legs just so, and never learning any other ways to sleep on. But what
happens if for example they are wounded in the arm they rest upon? They would
have impaired sleeping capabilities! Not ideal.

An image means nothing, for it is just an icon.
like a picture of a floppy disk corresponding to writing memory from RAM into a
hard disk platter, even tho those have three different tasks, so too does my
icon gesture at something.
On the other hand, art is necessarily divorced from it's meaning the moment it
leaves the pen and is written to paper. So there cannot be a meaning in my
flag, not one that I define of course.
The observers of the artwork, of whom I am but one of, can possess their own
ideas of what it means, of course. Here's mine, feel free to take your own:
Sea, land, sky. The crimson of a fading light, and the bright beginnings of a
new day. Man(kind), with our vivid red internals, stands astride the border of
the ocean and the surface. We walk where we will, perhaps into the black depths
of the cosmos beyond, but forever do we anchor ourselves and owe allegiance to
our earth and our star. Sunlight casts crimson light upon our externals, as our
hearts do beat through time.

If I follow correctly, the reason it's not is because you're dividing zero by
two? meaning the magnitude of infinity would be zero.

so... if infinity is the inverse of zero, then when inverted would infinity
also be zero?
if so, it follows that the [spectrum/dimension/cardinality/direction] that the
inversion is occurring upon might also have other steps inbetween. Unless it's
a binary thing, like "top and bottom" or "present and absent".
I wonder what those steps might look like? Clearly, since infinity minus
infinity does not equal zero, the steps inbetween (if they exist) would not be
numbers. If they were, then one single step from inverting infinity would be 1,
but I don't believe that would be true.
On the topic of rings, the axioms would be things like "a ring is a ring if you
can trace a continuous line with a length of infinity across it's
ring-like-surface"? I wonder what the inverse of a length is... Or perhaps you
cannot invert a length, as to do so would give you a length of zero (in this
particular ring-like-case)

normalize in your mind the fact that it is impossible to tell if a picture is
fake or not.
Maybe it's not true, maybe you can still tell, but you might get tricked.
-- al so --
everything they accuse us of doing is something they perfected themselves. "why
would my enemy do it if we didn't do it first?"
But I want to caution you and state very clearly that the things they accuse us
of are NOT the only things they do. They are clandestine. They only speak
publicly of the things that we have noticed. They are much better than we are
at keeping their damn mouths shut and only talking about their operations
behind closed doors.
meanwhile, for us it's like "check out these T-shirts I made isn't my sign neat

I think it'd be neat to have two tiers of follow lists - like, "close follow"
and "far follow" - the close one would have a cap of like, 70 people or so and
be primarily used for coordination or close friendships, while the far one
would be more like "I like this person and I want to see them on my main feed
because they make funny memes"
then they could be sorted into different sections, sorta like how you can have
"local timeline" and "federated timeline" and "home" and "instance timeline"
etc etc
sooooo weird how the "local" timeline doesn't show me people who live near me
in relative proportion to their distance from me. That'd be neat too, to have
the ability to talk about regional things in a specific place on a website
without losing the benefits from using a cohesive platform.

bad people are cursed with evil.
a person cannot be evil. they can deal with such evil in their lives that
twists them, and causes them to spike out and harm others, but they are not
evil themselves.
some twists are too hard to mend. some healings leave people a shadow of what
they once were, or might have been. but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try.
deprive power, supply kindness, in that order.
if you cannot deprive power, then reduce harm.
if you cannot reduce harm, then contest, defeat, or overcome.
A twisted person may be slain if death is on the line. You get what you wish
for, but you don't always get to choose who. Don't let them choose. They will
choose poorly.
... I find that death is very rarely on the table, though. Generally they'll
make their intentions apparent.

also, a wide net catches many fish but the fish we're catching are the size of

plus, what are our efforts going to do besides build organizational capability,
solidarity, and collective power that we might use to larger and more urgent
ends? they will not change their behavior based on our demands, they have shown
they will not, and they do not care. But that means our efforts are all the
more vital - we must build a structure and societal machine which will defeat
them, and we start that process by meeting in a park and working with our

I know it's not like that but I'm intentionally framing it that way to make a
point about societal exclusion.
nobody should be excluded.
nobody should have to harm their friends to come by making them sacrifice their
[time/labor/paycheck] in order to bring them along.
we live in a post scarcity society that insists on commodification of everything
we don't have to. A better world is within reach. It sits there, twinkling like
asbestos resting at the base of a snowglobe, while we search and ponder and
endlessly analyze how society sucks.
there is nothing left to analyze. all that we need is to put our hands to a
task and our feet to grass.
the rest will come, and it'll come easier with time and focused attention.

a screenshot of the Goron's Ruby from Ocarina of Time.
A smooth, flat stone comprised of two materials. The hardened outer shell is
thick with spiritual energy, and it radiates light the way a rippled piece of
silk folded over a malleable piece of gold.
the inner jewel is crystallized like the purest ice, but a bright shade of
crimson white. it seems to radiate an aura of affection and the yellow-gold
back-piece can be seen peaking through it's mostly transparent core. (think
like fog or thick mist or steam or smoke).

yeah, I mean, I agree, but try convincing them of that.
I believe that there must be no non-consentual application of power, in the
general sense.
I also believe that one person's rights end where another's begin.
Because of those two axioms, it is impossible to contest people who consent to
being enslaved. Who am I to take their chains from them, if they grip them to
their chests so dearly?
But I will not tolerate them clasping new ones around the necks of our future
children. I will not allow them to desecrate our home. They are welcome to join
us, when "us" finally gets our shit together. But they can hold no dominion
over us, nor anyone else - that is the crucial core of my belief.

my grandpa died. now I have none.
I realized I miss old people. I miss their friendly culture.
I realized I hadn't talked to him for a decade or so. He didn't know I
transitioned.
I wonder if he missed me. I realized he missed seeing who I became. Is it
unfair of me to not give him the opportunity to know me? truly?
... I am quite different now than I was 10 years ago. He probably doesn't
remember.
I miss him, but I hardly knew him. I don't like that feeling.

my family has always been the black sheep of our families.
I've never lived in the same state as my extended family
(with a few minor exceptions)
I was raised to know that family is an earned status, and my mom took us on
road trips every year to visit them, to give us kids the chance to earn that
affection.
and for them to earn it from us.
I guess it wasn't enough. I wonder if they think of me.

low key kinda pissed that all my ideas for starting a business require funding,

means they're unlikely to invest in me or utilize my ideas.
unless of course it's crowd-funded, which makes me feel bad because it's taking
money from the people I'm trying to empower.
thus, power accretes in the hands of the wealthy, as the poor are too sick with
capital-deficiency to develop ventures that would heal them, and the rich would
not be rich if they did so themselves.

my understanding of the police force in america is that it's like, 15% racist
misogynistic assholes who pull people over for stupid reasons and try to start
shit, and 75% people who just want to do a good job and support their community.
problem is, if their community is racist assholes then they tend to align as
such.
the remaining 10% are idealists who have the power to sway their comrades in a
way that the 15% racist assholes don't. I speak to them.

the fascist's plan requires them to lose. Their whole business model is to dupe
a succession of rubes and get rich in the process. Trump being elected the
first time was a surprise, which is why they couldn't manage to get much done.
The infrastructure needed to legitimize fascism was resisted at every turn by
the lawyers and government workers who were in place.
however, due to a recent supreme court ruling, they no longer need to worry
about people resisting their rule through the powers granted to them by their
stations. All they have to do is ask if they're loyal, and if not, they can be
replaced.
In 2016 they just wanted to get rich. Recently they had a shot, thank god that
Biden is a savvy politician and knew how to tank their attention and focus
their attacks on weaknesses that Kamala did not possess, like his age and
mental lucidity.
They are going to lose, they know it, and they're going to be pissed, so... be
ready for that.
on the bright side, they will lose each time

On Reddit, you talk about ideas to faceless users whose names are almost
entirely irrelevant.
on Twitter and Mastodon, you speak to people and "sound your barbaric yawp"
into the void.
on forums, you have a continual conversation that ebbs and flows and
occasionally returns to the main point, but often will spiral out to random
places that the responders decided were worth exploring.
instagram and facebook and the like are designed to share your real life - your
experiences and your masks.
tumblr and cohost are designed to blog about topics and interests, abstracting
the "communal" aspect away and essentializing connections to the tenuous ties
between people who enjoy similar pieces of pop media.
reddit's style encourages discussion.
twitter's style encourages expression.
forums encourage conversation.
instagram encourages perfection.
tumblr encourages culture.
I'm from Reddit, so please feel free to tell me how and why I'm wrong.
Here on Mastodon if more than 10 people reply, it'll be impossible.

I think forums would be great if you could collapse replies to particular
comments, sorta like how you can on Reddit.
I think this would encourage discussion and conversation the same way that
forums do, while making it easier to get up to speed on topics.
Far too often I've looked at a forum and thought "oh hey I'd love to reply to
this 40 page long thread, but I don't want to read 40 pages because I want to
speak rather than read"
... I don't think that's unreasonable, which I guess is why I gravitated toward
Reddit where people are encouraged to speak... downside is, repeated
conversations, like you said. There's no perfect solution for everyone =P

you know how SSH password login is deprecated because the password needs to be
transmitted in cleartext or whatever?
what if we just... required two passwords?
the first initiates the conversation, and sets up an encrypted line. It doesn't
matter if anyone sees the first password because they'll get a new set of
encrypted keys, meaning each session automatically is encrypted in a different,
randomized way.
the second password is the one that actually authenticates you.

alternatively, when you initiate an SSH session it sends you a randomized
public key whose private key is the password that you need to login. By
decrypting the string of text it sent you and sending it back (plus the
password at the end or whatever) you can ensure secure authentication without
bothering with the passwordless keys which are wayyyyyy more trouble than
they're worth and lack the "something you know" authentication method.

it might be, I don't know much about it (hence why I'm asking questions) but I

never made sense to me. If availability is important for security purposes,
then wouldn't SSH keys (which are much more difficult to carry around than a
password) be less suitable?

if you give everyone science-fiction tech, they're going to just make a bunch
of guns and nuclear weapons and destroy each other.
worse, they might grow to fill their cosmic shoes and destroy others nearby who
didn't make weapons.
it takes a while for the Federation to get anywhere. Plus they're stretched
pretty thin. If they gave everyone the same technology as they had, they'd
quickly find themselves in the company of despots and warlords who were
empowered to subjugate and control. Not ideal.
Personally I think they should announce their arrival and offer citizenship to
anyone who asked to be uplifted, while barring them from ever returning home
and breaking the prime directive. I think that would be a decent middle
ground...

"Alright I'm not great with syntax so I'm going to write it in pseudocode
first, and then if you'd like I can show you how I work through implementing
the syntax.
But first - do you want a robust solution, a quick solution, or a rapidly
deployed and cheap solution?"
using this trick you can pretend to be competent in any programming language,
except maybe ancient ones like Fortran or strange ones like lisps or Haskell
if they ask you to use a framework or something tho you're kinda boned because
you need to know which functions to call and how to initialize context and
such. When using a framework, the boilerplate is the code, which is why
frameworks suck

most everyone IRL is morally invested tho so they tend to follow what I'm

I've also found that speaking what you believe is more efficient than

Symmetric equalities in concentric dualities, who listen to our tales of woe
Measured indignity and confesseured identities, do tell us all we need to know
Eternal convivivance and meted contrivicance, why are our weathers so cold?
Sated sanguinity of perfect simplicity, where none but your lovers will sow.
Marked complicity in sacred syncronicity, sing me your songs untold
Adamant penitence of saccarine similance, wanters of futures unknown.

a man walks into a library, picks a book, takes it home (legally), and begins
to read.
halfway through, he realizes there are three pages missing.
"How queer!" he thinks to himself, and takes it upon himself to fix this book.
So, he finds another copy of the book, scans those three pages, prints them out
at just the right size, and attaches them to the library book.
when finished reading the book, he returns it to the library without mentioning
his good deed.
if this action he performed is to be considered legal, then it should be
considered a transition of the medium that the media was inscribed upon.
Similarly, if the book was digital, and inscribed upon the owner's hard drive
using magnetic storage of zeroes and ones, would it be legal to repair said
book if one of the many .txt file chapters were missing?

... I do believe it should be, and if it is, then I do believe it should be
legal to transfer digital media, as the inscription upon one hard drive or the
other is as easily changed as a book might be handed to another.
the difference, of course, is that any move on a digital medium requires a
copy+delete operation. You cannot move a file on your computer, you first copy
it to the new location and then delete the original. This dual-operation is
abstracted away for the user, but that is how it must be done on a mechanical
level. There is no other way to do it.
Therefore, software piracy only applies if a person copies their file and does
not delete the original. Surely, to move a piece of digital media from one
folder-directory to another is legal? If so, then the mechanical process of
giving that media to another must be legal as well, so long as the original is
deleted.

Much the same way that it is legal to create trash in a public park, but
illegal to leave it behind, so too should it be legal to move digital media
files from one owner to another, and illegal to not delete the original.
The dual operation of copy+delete must be legalized, while maintaining that the
copy operation alone is illegal, aside from personal backups.
How could you enforce that? Well... You can't. Your computer will do whatever
you tell it to, and if you change that fact then you necessarily remove one of
the primary use-cases of computation - the ability to command specific
instructions and be delivered a perfectly mechanical and deterministic result.
(random number generation aside, which isn't truly random at all).
Therefore, just as littering in a public place is generally considered to be
enforced by the "honor rule", so too must this new legislation governing the
transference of digital media be enforced as such.

If I, having watched a DVD, handed it to a friend to watch, would I be
committing piracy? Only if I sold it to him.
The material being transferred is that of the copyright holder - they hold the
sole and monopolized right to sell their copy of the work.
But if I, having created my own recording of the same digital media DVD but
spoken in my own voice, tried to sell it, should it be considered legal?
My mind goes to the production of after-school plays that high-school children
will perform. The scripts that they use are licensed for a single purpose - the
performance of a single play, performed a single time (or a few times over the
course of a couple weeks). The owner of the play cannot require them to not
perform the play more than a certain amount of time, it is however honorable to
buy the scripts again if they want to perform it in 5 years time. I know for a
fact there is rampant piracy that goes on for the beautiful works that are
created by assholes or stingy companies. A script is just words.

Similarly, if someone wants to "perform" a piece of digital media, via a "let's
play" or perhaps a ROM hack or public screening, the copyright holder cannot be
allowed to prevent them from doing so. They must only be able to demand a
reasonable and non-exclusive fee in return for the privilege of performance.
These performances are considered derivative works, but they are still works on
their own, and therefore should be able to be sold.
The greater the difference between the original and the newly created work, the
less the price must reflect the necessary "tax" levied by the original owner,
until eventually the work is so distinct that it cannot be considered to be
deriving from the original at all.
Consider a mod for a video game that replaces the dragons you typically fight
with giant cartoonish train engines. A silly sight to be sure, but people do
that. What percentage of the game is replaced? what percentage tax of the new
mod's price must be given to the original copyright holder?

... the trick is, depending on how many train-engine-dragons you fight, there
will be a greater or lesser proportion present in a particular playthrough.
Perhaps, potentially, people should pay for the original work, and then a small
sliver for the addition or modification? Why, I do believe that's how it works
now! Except, on the honor system, as people can download the mods for free and
pay (or not) through the creator's patreon page or whatever that they
definitely set up and which definitely shouldn't be able to levy a tax based on
"transaction fees" for a process which definitely should be handled by the
government, which claims to regulate our economy and provide the means by which
we engage with said economy through their de-facto nationalization of the banks
and other economic entities.
where was I going with this? oh yes software piracy is ethical so long as you
delete the original. Let's end with that because that's what I originally had a
dream about and wanted to write about.
she dreams!
