Society has never been secure. Literally all someone has to do is place
documents alleging that you sold all your shares or refinanced your mortgage or
signed a new will and BAM suddenly the rug's pulled out from your feet. I don't
get why people trust their neighbors so much? You don't know them!
well, I guess it'd be hard to function as a society if you didn't. Sure would
be nice if we had like, a communal Mastodon server run on public infrastructure
owned only by the people who lived in the closest 70 houses. Sure would be nice
if you could connect to one of like, 4 in your area. Then, if they each held
communal events where they meet and hang out with each other. Only like, 2 or 3
though so you can get a solid grasp of what their culture's like.
... like imagine if every address had an IP, and every IP address had an HTML
index. We could do whatever we wanted, especially if

what if we had a daily thread where everyone reacted with a single emoji
representing how they were feeling? Like, it wouldn't let you log on without
doing so. And, if you wanted, you could take an "exit poll" after playing
around in the social media sandbox for a while, so the people of your group
could chart how you were feeling due to the nature of your shared social-media
experience.
ideally, if only people you followed could see your name attached to the emoji,
otherwise they'd just see the overall stats like "300 people reacted with
sailboat emojis and 112 had two geese kissing - wow I haven't even seen that
one before, it's like a blobcat doing a 360 no-scope while skateboarding, neat"

when we, societally, are forced to discuss fascists and such, they're getting
what they want.
We cannot ignore them. We cannot hide them. They are true, they exist, and we
need to deal with them.
I can say this because nazis are evil. Trans people are not evil, which is why
their attempt to use the same logic falls so flat. Seriously, have you ever met
a GOOD nazi? I highly doubt it, though their most "respectable" amongst them
certainly try to make it so.
But good trans people are everywhere. Hell the old boogey-man, old-school
communists, they're GOOD people too. They feed the homeless!
If we're bogged down in talking about their distraction / propaganda campaign,
then we have no time or attention to devote to our own. And our stories are
better for the soul.
The people who follow Trump are yearning for something they cannot describe.
But I can, 9/10 times it's just community.
Literally, the first thing we evolved.

In a boxing match, the coach will take moments to bolster their favored
combatant. They'll give them words of motivation, tips for weaknesses in their
foe they noticed, and reasons why they're taking hits. They are the mentor and
tactician, and they are immensely valuable for the success of the student
learner.
If I had to organize a debate like the one that I am watching now, I'd suggest
that two bright eyed individuals should take a moment to discuss with their
wiser directors before responding to each question. One minute to discuss, one
to debate, one to respond.
Not only would it reduce the failures of improvisation, it'd give time to more
accurately address concerns. Precision is important, but accuracy even more-so.
After the debate it could be aired with the discussion parts stripped out, or
perhaps made into 3 different perspectives that you could watch one after
another - each side's counsel session, and their combined response where only
the younger gave words form.

I vote yes, because people don't like change. I think we need to build
something that naturally evolves into communism - like for example prices that
trend toward zero as production increases and waste decreases, or community
structures that naturally build solidarity through their structure, form, and
functions rather than through voluntary effort like a union. Because not only
do people not like change, they're also generally lazy, typically preferring to
be home eating sandwiches with their dog and watching TV than at work
discussing labor conditions.

Most people don't have justice, especially not TRUE justice, and most people
don't have hope (because most people don't really think about their
circumstances enough to hope for something better), but I do believe that the
kind of hope people have in a place without justice is vulnerable to betrayal.
Doesn't mean it's not hope, doesn't mean it's not justice, it just means they
can be betrayed if they cannot trust the justice they own and cultivate.

listen, judges are useful character moralities, but they don't have to be the
only ones to decide things.
I mean, if they disagree, then let the one who cares the most about it have the
decision-making power.
if you do this equally for everything, then everyone will get what they want.
so, like, if you care about something, then believe in it.
if it's truly good, then more people will come to it, and it'll naturally
extinguish (with care and love) the least favored approach, which... honestly
now that I think of it is not such a good approach either.

I love petting dogs on walks! Unless their owner seems to be in a hurry, which
they often do if they aren't outside to enjoy the scenery, but rather to get
through the next part.
people walking up to a dog owner and asking to pet their dog is part of the
scenery. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you might miss it.
(but often, I'm on my way somewhere else, which is a blessed opportunity that
you can only get if you live on the opposite end from your destination of a
trail.)
We should have trails in ALL DIRECTIONS from ALL PLACES to ALL PLACES.
Otherwise, you won't see people and connect to them face-to-face. All you see
is a front-bumper, the sparkling of a reflection off the light as it's casting
a beam from the other direction (where the car it's reflecting off of is) ah
yes the "car" that it's reflecting - that person yeah them right there! You'll

as a baby, I would sit and stare at the clouds. My parents took me on plane
trips, and so I'd watch them as I drifted through the air.
It was wonderful. Many hours of this are present in my baby-hood, the part I
can't quite remember.
But my parents do.
I'd play with small, perfect toys, and I'd cry to myself when I lost them. To
myself, of course.
I'd also play video games. The first game I ever played was Dragon Warrior on
the Nintendo Gamecube Color. Alongside Super Mario Deluxe.
It was a blessed childhood. Or so it seemed to me. Things went wrong, as they
always do, but a child's narrative doesn't often have room for the specifics.
Swept along by the nature of fate, they have NO idea what's going missing.
They still play, of course they play, in their strange new realities.
They play because they are children, and children play.
How beautiful, the stories they learn from each song. How cherished, their
feelings derived from affection. Hy heart longs for them, as a bird yearns for

edit, unless I run out of words, I'll try VERY HARD to make sure that the post
is exactly 0 letters remaining. Sometimes I'll remove punctuation and flaws
transcriber imperfections, but that's it. Like, if something needed a
bit more context.
also, sometimes I hit dead ends, so I have to stop and think about something
new to pursue.
I'm an improv actor, which is why I'm so good at handling the moment.

I have this friend who's in a different mastodon ecosystem and apparently he
tried commenting on some of my posts but like, they didn't show up on my end?
how weird. Kinda shattered my perception of this place as a free and open
society where everyone could rely on everyone else to be who they said they
were based on publically available accounts that they share with their friends
who know them by their face and name

"reason not available" doesn't tell me anything except that my experience is
valid

right but it throws into question the idea that what I say is the same as what
they hear.
Especially if they know our IP addresses are coming from different sides of the
country.

a "follow" list is just a list of people you want to hear from.
Not necessarily people you agree with,
but people you'd like to understand more.
