 Can't do much from my home place. Gonna walk around a bit. I may first eat some
 food or snuggle my cat, we'll see.

 snuggled my cat, ate some food, AND took a nap. Phew that was nice. Wasn't
 there something else I was supposed to do today? Hmmmmmm must have slipped my
 mind.
 
 Oh yeah! They added a new unit to Mechabellum, one of my favorite strategy
 games and a great place to talk in general chat in the barrens. It's probably
 that, that's probably what I'm doing today, surely not walking around my
 neighborhood and writing generalstrikeus.com on tiny bits of paper and leaving
 them to get rained on.

 Sorry if this makes me a lazy leech on society or whatever but I think we
 should chuck the Puritan work ethic, hustle culture, grindset mindset, all of
 that crap. I think people should have time for rest, leisure, self care,
 family, friends, and civic engagement. We should be letting people enjoy life,
 not expect them to spend every waking hour working for the sake of work because
 idle hands do the devil's work or whatever modern paint job you want to put on
 that 400 year old bullshit.

 Fury is not the same thing as rage.
 
 Fury is focused determination.
 
 Rage is unbridled anger.
 
 Rage blinds you. Fury guides you.

 The truth is 
 
 The reason none of my revolutions have yet succeeded 
 
 Is that the only way 
 
 To secure peace and love on planet earth 
 
 Is that all the governments

 Went outside today for the first time in a week to take out my trash to the
 bin. Dunno why but I've been feeling a little down about my apartment, and how
 they can just take my home from me because I oh hang on I wrote a poem about
 this one sec: [boosts old poem]
I am not interested in being given money. Usually it means someone wants something from me, like labor or some of my stuff. I have all the stuff I need, why would I need more money? I like my stuff! I'll help out when people need help but I do that because I'm a good person, not because I want you to fucking pay me for it.  I have all the things I need... except a deed to my house. apartment. oh yeah, they can kick you out for that sin. well, sorry, I couldn't find out at goodwill or in the trash bin, so I guess I'm deed-less. My deeds go unproven. How can I prove that I deserve a decent life in this particular roof, the one I find over my head, when I cannot prove that my deeds qualify me for a decent life lived under this particular roof?  I mean, did you ask the neighbors if they want me gone? Am I really that smelly? Does my keyboard make "clickety-clack" noises all through the night? Does my cat meow and bother the children? Do my friendly smiles and waves make you uncomfortable?  Have a decent life.

 oh yeah that's because we've been alienated all our lives and we forgot how.     │
 That song was written when it was normal to sing like that. Give it a couple     │
 years and we'll be back to our regular human spirit, but for now we gotta work   │
 with what capitalism gave us.                                                    │
 I don't blame boomers, or republicans, or zoomers, or russians, or hell even     │

 our birthright to do so much more.                                               │
 Contingent on that future is the ability to breathe clean air, swim in clear     │
 water, and rest under shading boughs, all of which are set to be lit alight if   │
 the capitalists allow us the indignity of a Bladerunner future.                  │

 "But I don't know what it'll look like!"
 
 Yeah, that's okay. For four reasons:
 
 If they knew what it'll look like, they'd find ways to contest it
 
 nobody knows what it'll look like, because it is necessarily derived from the
 solutions created ad-hoc to address problems.
 
 we are a kind, honest, and strong people. If your burdens are too much to bear,
 I will be your pack mule. If you require rest or relaxation, we can get pizza
 and smoke weed together.
 
 For most of history, we've had more work to do than people to do it. This time
 is different. There's endless work to do, but only a certain amount of people
 can be working at a time. Everyone else has to do chores and catch up on life.
 
 "what kind of chores?"
 
 oh, you know, like making food at a restaurant, stocking the shelves of the
 grocery store, driving trucks from point A to point B, mowing lawns, building
 barns, committing to whatever github is replaced by, etc.
 
 In a better world, everyone is family.
 
 In a better world, nobody goes hungry.

 "we'll figure out how it works after we push to prod"
 
 yeah okay point taken.
 
 How about this:
 
 for every large decision, write a little essay about why you made the choice
 that you did.
 
 Observe, Orient, Decide, Act, Explain. OODAX : )
 
 Make sure you connect your goal to one or more of these three colors:
 
 red : people
 green : places
 blue : things
 
 and then explain which numbers you're going to gather to determine whether or
 not it worked.
 
 If someone has a problem with your choice, show them the essay, and let them
 write an essay of their own.
 
 If they still have a problem, then let someone you both respect decide which
 one to use.
 
 It's not perfect, but it's not meant to be. Make something better and easier, I
 dare ya.

 frankly, I think we have nothing to lose but our chains. All that we own is
 what they have given us, and they are likely to take all that away.
 
 I might lose my home soon. People have died fighting for less than the roof

 Martin Luther King Jr. was killed on this day in 1968.

 Remember not everybody can #protest today. 
 
 Some have to go to work or provide care. Some have health obstacles. Some
 simply don’t have the spoons. Some are in a targeted group and don't feel
 safe.
 
 Encourage your friends and loved ones to come out but allow space for those who
 cannot.

 it's always a good idea to wear multiple layers, especially when it's decently
 cold out.
 
 make sure they're different colors. Ideally, one layer totally black, the other
 completely colorful.
 
 then if you ever need to you can strip one layer and become someone else.
 They're just clothes, they grow on trees in stores.
 
 speaking of stores, if you're ever going to do anything spicy, make sure you
 wear that outfit exactly once, unless it's all black. Jeans are okay too since
 they all usually look pretty similar.

 you don't have to want what's happening to consent to it.
 
 enthusiastic consent is like friendship. It doesn't have to be present, but

 the ability to walk into a mall or general store and emerge as a completely

 about. And trans people resent it! what a concept. I think they just resent
 being disrespected.

 capitalism, fundamentally, is not about making products or profits.
 
 I'll give you a hint.
 
 I could be one of the greatest programmers in the world, but I just can't seem
 to find any professional experience, though I ask for it quite often.
 
 why is that?
 
 does the systems of control and 'pression allow me to contribute to building
 products or profits? No, neither products nor profits are contributed to, which
 contributes to the fact that I have little professional experience building
 products and profits.
 
 yet I am quite talented in a variety of disciplines, including but not limited
 to computer programming.
 
 maybe I just optimized for skills that would be useful outside of the workplace
 environment instead of optimizing for skills that would be useful inside of the
 workplace environment.
 
 or maybe the entire system is designed not to create products and profits, but
 rather to develop systems of control, hierarchy, & most importantly
 structure for all the vagabond apes looking for meals.

 if we didn't have society, we'd quickly devolve into beasts of burden and
 nobody really wants that, do we? much more fun to let the cow-puters handle
 that. we humans can use our creativity and intellect just like all the other
 animals who we've liberated from our own chains. Would you want your daughters
 shoveling shit or writing poetry?
 
 I personally think shoveling shit is less dangerous, but something something
 what-do-i-know something something who-can-say.

 It is usually better to spend points of dollars rather than goodwill.
 
 Save goodwill for when they have so much of it they are looking for someone to
 give it away from.
 
 When in distress, ask for dollars to be used on your behalf. When in
 celebration, ask for goodwill to be used on your behalf.
 
 I'm still trying to save capitalism, individualism, and our way of life from
 its own jaws as it eats it's own tale. Part of that means pulling the tail
 right back out, and another part is pulling the teeth back. Gotta do both.

 What if landlords acted like banks instead of subscription services?
 
 "sure I'll hold onto your money and invest it wisely and sparingly, according
 to the direction of the collectively desired expression of all of the tenants
 and their expressions during the expressing hour, which is every Tuesday at
 noon when we all get together (everyone who wants to come) and talk about what
 projects we want to fund and which ones would be best for the community. If
 there's any prophets giving profit on any of your stocks or saving bonds that
 we hold in your honor dear tenant then it will be reinvested into the same
 projects you told us to care about. If you start being a dick though and we
 want you gone, we can short-sell all your options and say "hey find a new part
 of town" that way you have a bit of a dowry to offer the housing payment people
 when you show up with your tail between your legs. What's that? You don't get
 how this would bring income to the property, whatever that means, and you worry
 that it wouldn't be implemented because what does it even do? Well my dear
 citizen i will explain it to you. When the post-office holds your funds for you
 and invests according to your general and vague directions, it builds up wealth
 in the local economy. They can use those dollars for productive ends like
 replacing the windows or the gutters or clearing the snow paths in the
 springfallautumn. This will be drawn from the collective pool and everyone is
 affected equitably. How much income do you make? Okay that determines your rent
 percentage. High income means you pay for the local ecology more, and low means
 that you need more time to build up wealth, which will enable it to benefit
 those around the place more readily."

 Blizzard should make more than one animation style for swinging your weapon -
 as you level up, the style "tweens" between however many combat palettes you
 made.
 
 So, like, maybe they swing their sword +/-15 degrees each time to simulate the
 pseudo random nature of combat.
 
 Or maybe they start occasionally stepping into a maneuver 
 
 Which the player doesn't consciously control.
 
 Instinct, if you will. The body reacting to its [sensory organs, but pronounced
 "surveyor"]
 
 Anyway i think by adjusting the monster characters in WoW should wander around
 and gather within sight of a player. Seeking you out, waiting for a critical
 threshold of their peers. Then, when you allowed or slowed down to examine a
 bit of "this-or-here", (quests) they would gang up on you and ambush! Bwaha
 just watch out for the mob
 
 (kinda like that scene in the second book of The Book of Malazan series where
 they're wandering through a desert storm and meeting all sorts of strange sorts
 of people)
 
 Anyway in seeking to improve the player's view-time, i decided it would feel
 the most impactful to do the design related things related to things like
 making the gameplay the most visceral.

 Leave some gaps for wildlife and such to make it to the water and then build a

 okay but what about the parts that are already there?
 
 "oh like the buildings and such? well, people can still live in them but to
 build anything NEW, you need to obey the demands of the blueprint exactly. So
 if your specific build-plot intersected with one or more plots that had
 buildings on them that are currently inhabited by their rightful owners who are
 there under their own will and not duressed or compelled to leave or stay in
