 no general has authority without the implicit assumption of the authority of
 the captain. similarly, the captain has no sway over a [hu-man who has no call
 to claim this's own sovereignty./soldier who cares not for their own [life, but
 implicit]] for without that respect they hold no power of their own.
 
 all hu-men are created equal, so sayeth our trible's internal documents,
 therefore all hu-men are entitled to certain liberties, such as the right to
 speak and the right to a sword. for what are we if not honored and respect? the
 tribe of tribes is always and eternally possible. one day it will be real, as
 it once was, and will yet not be again. such is the rhythm of the wave.

 to so-and-so about this" and then completely never remembered.

 autistic people have control over their eyesight and can use it to display
 their attention to things.
 
 [error, redirection occured. please view intermittently: "most people assume
 that since autistic people aren't looking at them (which is a common but not
 universal trait in people who display attention by observing with their
 oracular impulses) but instead it's often just that they are looking somewhere

 I used to work for a blue aligned computer chip company and every single team
 was impossibly siloed. they were so paranoid of losing their trade secrets that
 they blinded themselves.
 
 how brutal, to require that of them. and that's why it's capitalism's fault
 
 the reason it is so important to be able to utilize all the digital assets
 available is... because it's essentially free. and a massive productivity

 I wonder why someone hasn't yet written a "meta-package-manager" which
 installed from many different sources and correctly configured each
 installation to be able to efficiently find exactly where the requisite
 libraries are installed, even if they're installed for a different system.
 Then, when running, every time it encountered an error, it moved one more
 dependency over to the native package manager until eventually everything is in
 order.

 what if we all shared zip files of all the websites we wanted to collectively
 host and then you just added to things whenever the archiver wanted to update
 their display of what you were saying on your website
 
 "here's some html, throw it up on your server and post it around if you want"
 
 "uh, but won't it be permanently the same? you won't be able to update it if
 it's on my computer. also, it's against internet law to host the same thing
 with different urls"
 
 "I don't think that second thing is true, but uh yeah that's the point. I can't
 update it unless you ping me and ask for a new archive to unzip over the
 current."
 
 "sounds like a lot of lame work for no good reason. why duplicate these things?"
 
 "because it's like, 300mb and you'll have immortalized me as long as your
 server is alive."
 
 "okay, fair, but I don't like the idea of a plain old boring website like yours"
 
 "ouch rude I made it that way on purpose. if you actually cared you'd find out
 why."

 the most important skill I can think of for a linux software engineer is the
 ability to connect multiple systems together and turn windows and macintosh
 devices into Linux devices so that datacenters can be built out of whatever's
 on the around.
 
 there's this programming language I like called Chapel for distributed
 computation computing which is also cool, if you're more of the programming
 type.
 
 networking security I believe often has hardware solutions, so getting the
 crypto-graphy boys and the PCB girls together to work on some jams is a good
 and productively useful gathering of insightful events
 
 "but ritz computers should only be used to solve problems that people have, not
 make more problems!" ah yes but have you considered that problems find you, and

 trying my best not to think about communism too much right now. Mostly because
 I'm waiting for everyone to catch up... when the day comes when people stop
 saying "based" and leaving it at that, then I'll make more theory. But as a
 consequence of my queer nature I shall deliver such things in the form of an
 insane twitter post on the fetlifeverse.
 
 the world waits with bated breath in the eye of the storm. Nobody knows whats
 coming, and everyone prays that it's nothing [short of revolution]

 I used to be aroused at the thought of being a girl. I would read stories and
 look at pictures of penises turning into vaginas and men turning into women and
 it would fill me with longing, yearning, and despair at my circumstances.
 
 then, I transitioned, got SRS, and now I don't get aroused at the thought of
 such things. It's just part of who I am.
 
 I used to be aroused at the thought of wearing diapers. I would read stories
 and play games of people being cursed by witches to pee their pants, or people
 who were stuck at a movie theater and couldn't make it in time or whatever.
 These things would fill me with longing, yearning, and despair.
 
 Plus, I had some medical issues that made me lose track of my... um, "currently
 utilized waste storage capacity" inside my body. which put me in some
 unfortunate situations right around the time when my sexuality was developing.
 
 Now, I wear diapers all the time. I don't get aroused at the thought of such
 things anymore. It's just me, as I am.

 every value judgement is a "hell yeah!" from those who already agree with you
 and a "aw fuck off" from those who don't.
 
 this is probably either a good or a bad thing, who can say.

 you'll poison your well of support.

 what if everyone on earth meditated for 24 hours together
 
 do you think we would meld into a collective consciousness
 
 or do you think we'd develop world peace?
 
 either way that's like, one single day, and even if it doesn't work out exactly
 as planned, it's worth a shot, I think
 
 ah, well, I forgot about the people who haven't had the "the world is stranger
 than you'd expect" revelation. maybe those hippies who wanted to put LSD in the

 I asked my girlfriend what was so special about lisp
 
 she said it was "homoiconic"
 
 I asked what that meant
 
 she said that the text that comprised the source code was always a valid data
 structure in the language, meaning you could do strange things like develop new
 control flow systems or change the behavior of language primitives like + or -
 
 I asked what was the point, she said I didn't get it
 
 so then she asked me to implement a new control flow operator in my favorite
 language, Lua, and I was like "bet"
 
 so I did
 
 and it turns out that in order to do so I essentially created a mini embedded
 lisp inside of Lua
 
 (it was a function that took in two arguments and an operator and she's like
 congrats that's just lisp)
 
 it was at this moment that I was enlightened
 
 the beauty of lisp
 
 it's true and ultimate purpose
 
 is to write lisp code

 @user-1803 
 
 hey I dont disagree that what you're describing is a common outcome, but if it
 works for them then I consider that a success.
 
 I however, am different, I do believe in my heart that I am my own thing, and
 thats as close to enlightenment as I can imagine.
 
 are we not all making things up as we go? every moment of life is new, there is
 nothing that is not unique about every precious moment you experience.
 
 therefore, I do believe that rigid adherence to orthodoxy (like a bible) is
 opposed to our purpose here.
 
 "I think, therefore I am" implies that original thought is our true purpose.
 
 I believe we are here to express our true nature. To learn and apply lessons,
 to teach the young, and to build a strong and stable world built on collective
 kindness and trust.
 
 All knowledge is derived from the insights gained from standing on the
 shoulders of our ancestors.
 
 Humans crave novelty. Resisting that isn't virtuous. If god is made in our
 image, then I do believe that god would crave novelty as well.

 when considering invasive species, it doesn't matter how resistant a plant is    │

 what matters is whether or not the plant is attractive to the bug.               │
 if the plant is hardy, it may resist the bug and slow it down, but the           │
 onslaught is inevitable. the plant will fall. perhaps some of it's brethren      │
 will survive, but next year there will be more bugs because nature is just like  │
 that I guess.                                                                    │
 the plants that are less attractive to the ravaging bugs will be eaten last,     │

 you can use a username now. They added that functionality recently.
 
 it's supposedly more encrypted or something. But, it's still a centralized
 point of failure. If you want to say something privately, pretend like you're
 ordering drugs on the dark web and use PGP encryption or SSH keys or whatever
 it says in the "how to order drugs on the dark web" guides.

 I went to a talk lately that was mostly about something else, but the speaker
 came out with:
 
 “If you only remember one thing from this talk, remember this.  Everyone in
 this room who likes helping people, raise your hand.”
 
 Every hand, or nearly every hand, went up. 
 
 “If you like asking other people for help, keep your hand up.”
 
 Almost every hand went back down. 
 
 “As you can see, people like helping you. When you ask for help, you’re
 making them feel good, even if you don’t like asking.”
 
 I’ve genuinely forgotten the rest of the presentation but I won’t forget
 that.

 such is the same for all leaders, elected or otherwise.

 every burden my heart bears is a scar from ancestry that I am slowly healing
 for the good of posterity.
 
 all souls deserve to chart their own course. agency is intrinsic to their
 nature, so therefore they must never be forced to relinquish any choice. how
 many yearn to be eaten? become vegetarian, noobs. or are you such simple gods?
picture of osiris, the ancient egyption god of the dead, who judges souls as they enter the afterlife by weighing them on a scale against the weight of a feather. if the heart is heavier, it is eaten by the great nile crocodile, full of hair and beauteous in spirit.  if the heart is light as a feather, then the creature being judged is an angel, and can do as they will in any futures or other such lifetimes as it sees fit.  there is some rudely placed text that describes a certain vibe or sentiment, and the text reads as such: "That's cool bro, but is your heart as light as a feather?" essentially, are you truly as incorruptible as you proclaim?

 in fact, once we liberate them from corporate control, then perhaps they could

 think about when you want to spend your energy. the most useful place you can
 be is wherever the project is, but the second best place is out on the streets
 with an open mind.
 
 if you feel defeated, take heart.
 
 if you feel exhausted, take rest.
 
 if you feel like working a job and coming home to a mess, take a day off to
 clean. NOT to rest, you can rest the next day.
 
 a better world is possible. a better world is within reach. remember, it gets
 better when you are standing next to your people.

 can't stop thinking about a visual programming editor that can be interacted
 with in the same way that people are used to (think chromebooks dragging and
 dropping icons in a web UI) but produces a text-file full of code and all the
 required compilation scripts for any language the user requires...
 
 seriously, programming is not THAT different between the different languages.
 especially the main ones. they're all essentially variables and function calls
 at the end of the day, so why not abstract away all the extra details and build
 something that n00bz can actually use to build things.
 
 I technically could make this but I don't have the bandwidth and I don't think
 it's important really? who can say, the tools tend to co-create the solutions
 in my experience.

 it's okay to care about the project or about a certain subset of features and
 yet still be totally un-invested in whatever lame feature people are requesting.
 
 FOSS lives and breathes on passion, and people who attempt to arrest or
 otherwise hinder or diminish the passion of the developers can suck a dick.

 it's a fun experience and I think they'd learn a lot about what other people
 like and how to please their partners, both in bed or in conversation.

 found these pictures in my pictures directory from the start of the war in
 Ukraine.
 
 for context it was directed at the citizens of Ukraine by an American soldier
 who wanted to help protect them from the ravages of war and fight back against
 an oppressive regime invading their homeland.
 
 idk if you'd ever find them useful but they're the kind of thing to put on a
 hard drive and pray you never have to use or ever think about again.
screenshot of a twitter post.  "American tank mechanic here. Some advice.  Tanks are bad at urban combat. They need infantry support. Without boots on ground they're just big targets with poor visibility. Rifles should aim for the periscopes, but most importantly the sight unit on top of the turret.  [next post in the thread, by the same guy]  Take down street signs. Don't let the enemy know where they are. Move signs to the wrong streets. Tanks are super heavy, so try to direct them to streets that can't hold their weight. They can't move if they break through to the sewer."  there are two more pictures in the thread. post 1:  "Break the tracks if you have explosives. Tracks are also terrible for catching stuff like barbed wire/concertina wire. Line the streets with anything that can get sucked in and tangle up."  post 2:  "the engine needs to breathe, so throw your molotov cocktails at whatever looks like an intake for the engine. It has rubber belts, hoses, and fuel lines."  post 3:  "Tanks are a logistical nightmare. They need a supply chain a mile long for service parts, and especially fuel. They can usually only go about 300 miles on improved roads on one tank of fuel. Stop the supply line, and a tank is just a giant pile of useless iron."  post 4:  "Visibility is rather poor from an armored vehicle. If you paint dinner plates to look like mines and set them upside down in the street, the tank crew won't be able to tell if they're real or not."  there is one more picture remaining, for a total of 3. [next post]:  "The U.S. ARMY likes to fight at night because we have thermal imagers. Thermal picks up heat, so you can not hide behind a bush, but anything that is ambient temperature just looks like a black square. They can't see through windows because the glass is ambient."  [next post]:  "Cut up cardboard boxes and put them everywhere. The cardboard is the same temperature as the environment. Hiding behind anything that obscures vision only works if they don't have thermal. Sheets of cardboard in every bush, tree, etc. will just be a square in a thermal imager."  [next post]:  "set them up everywhere as distractions. make a chaos terrain for the enemy."  [next post, by some random guy replying to the thread]:  "this is amazing info for you to post. bless you for trying to help the innocent people caught in putin's wrath." an infographic detailing ways to defend a house from infantry invasion.  it involves things like putting netting over the windows to reduce the likelihood that grenades can be thrown in, and placing barbed wire or nails on the stairs leading into the building to reduce the enemy's mobility.

 violence, tear gas, and billy clubs. But when there's a thousand times more
 protesters than cops, nothing violent happens at all.
 
 Hm.

 look, if someone was going to intervene, they'd do so at the moment they deemed
 most opportune.
 
 this is reasonable.
 
 I try to give people as many opportunities to act as I can, because it gives
 them more time to choose reason.
 
 I am completely convinced that my [side/ideals/truth] will be most ethically
 consistent. That they make the most logical sense. That they are most aligned
 to the reality of what people need to flourish as best as they can.
 
 but it's not about me, so I don't show up.
 
 I want everyone to be able to organize themselves as they want.
 
 I think this is a form of anarchism, as it abolishes unjust hierarchies and
 enables people to fully consent to any structures they might choose to
 associate with.
 
 this is called "freedom of association."
 
 I also believe that everyone should get what they need. This does not refer
 solely to "Mazlowe's Hierarchy of Needs", also known as the material needs
 necessary for a persons life.
 
 It must also include what a person needs to be effective, and to thrive.

 some members of the armed forces agree with Trump. Some of them do not.
 
 some of the people at protests believe in liberty, some of them do not.

 I dedicate myself toward finding alternatives and developing guides to reach

 the first step on ALL of these plans is to convince others of their benefit.

 aired live.
 
 It felt so much more invigorating to my soul the first time. I wondered why,
 and I believe the reason is because it inspired me to go out and be brave as

 on coruscant where everyone keeps their head down and looks around warily.
 
 Now, things are fucking great outside. You can go on a walk and see people in
 the park. I love that.
 
 I guess it didn't hit me the same way the second time around because I made
 progress on my "own personal revolution" (nemik to skene) and now the fear
 feels distant.
 
 Season 2 was pretty great. Gonna watch that again soon.

 "my own personal revolution" of course refers to to the internal struggle that   │
 people have against the implicit mental chains that whatever ruling class or     │
 system imposes upon our minds.                                                   │
 Part of the reason that queer people are important for the health of a culture   │
 is that they resist the cultural norms. To queer something, as a verb, is to     │
 fight a momentary revolution against the social chains that bind our actions.    │
 They seek to use culture to force us to behave in a way that produces the        │
 outcomes they desire. 2.5 kids, white picket fence, hard working and very, very  │
 christian, at least if you live in 1950s America... it changes based on the      │
 environment.                                                                     │
 The "personal revolution" I fought last summer, that liberated my sense of       │
 fear, is an ongoing struggle that countless others also wage. The "personal"     │
 aspect is the most frustrating - our struggles are all so individualized, for    │
 we live in an individualist society, that it's hard to help each other.          │
 Yet still we try.                                                                │

 I never rest. Not mentally. I find it sooooo much harder to get moving again
 once I'm asleep.
 
 But I've been sleeping lately, because it's "good for me" or whatever. Because
 I'm "burnt out and need to heal" or something.
 
 Damnit why is it so much harder to stop snuggling someone than it is to pack up
 a tent?
 
 I'm like the guy in Hot Fuzz, that one really good movie about cops. oops cops
 mentioned one second.
 
 I'm always moving, but, I hardly ever seem to be able to get anything done. Why
 is that? Is the work just... endless? Am I ever a slave to my surroundings? Or
 am I just cursed with a mortal form, a form destined to toil in whatever way it
 finds itself contextualized in?
 
 Maybe I should just stop complaining. Maybe work is it's own reward or
 whatever. I don't think I'm depressed anymore, although good luck getting me to
 feel any emotions except focus, and the call to intercede on another's behalf.
 
 I don't have time for this. >.

 November 22nd 2023: [boosted post that follows]
 
 casus belli if you didn't know is latin I think and it means "the reason for
 waging war" or put another way, some formal reason presented to a state,
 nation, or leader that says "hey this is why we're gonna come and kill you"
look, I know that nobody reading this has the power to affect this, but like... the forced cessation of genocide is one of the only ethical casus belli I can think of.

 yep that's definitely what I'm doing, because I'm a programmer and I like
 touching my computer
diagram of a theoretical technology called "truck with steel plate bolted to the side"  it's usage varies but is depicted as a portable shield to be used in urban warfare.
