In soviet America, the rich tax you.
... wait that's just regular America isn't it?
... they would never be so bold if they weren't fed the kind of propaganda that
we never see.
They would never be so bold if they knew the truth of our lives. They don't
have it easy, but we put up with more shit than they do.
"Abe Lincoln may have freed all men, but Sam Colt made them equal."
"you are not immune to the propaganda you see. you are, however, immune to the
kind of propaganda they see."
the powerful must always exist at the behest of the governed. such is one of
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
hey, a police station is an island in a sea of man.
"Our chances may be, far from pioneered. But our chances may be in our favour."
... sorry I've been listening to a lot of Green Day lately.

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

part of me kinda wants to be the kind of nerd that writes down the names of
every file that's permanently stored on my computer so that I can verify in my
own handwriting or perhaps using a type of code that the files on my computer
were placed there intentionally and not used to discredit or implicate me in
something I had no intentions of being associated with
phew idk what that means but surely it's important

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!

being trans teaches you opsec, because you're constantly hiding the evidence of
your past life.
being a woman teaches you situational awareness, and (almost) every trans
person has been a woman at one point or another. At least, they've performed as
one, which is enough to learn about situational awareness.
growing up and hiding a part of yourself because you were afraid to come out
teaches you to act / lie / perform / mask, which is something every queer
person has done at one point or another.

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.

In establishing the National Parks, the government sought to preserve nature,
and did not see indigenous people as part of nature. As if we humans are not
animals that contribute to an ecosystem, but some separate thing that is
anathema to life.
how strange, that they would see their own kind that way. Perhaps they would
rather their perceptions of the land be untainted by human hands, or perhaps
they just didn't want to think about minorities anymore. How cruel, to spit
