Have no fear my friend, dare for the bright age! We are stronger than they know. They are afraid, and they project it to us because that is all that they can do. A better future is possible, a better future is within reach. For the children of our children, all we need is one week. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2504 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── one perk, however, is as long as you cover your entrances, you can make paths through the wilderness with small circular homes. like ants, building tunnels and chambers in an ant-hill, but on the 2 dimension plane that is the surface of the earth. (I guess you could dig tunnels too but that's pretty high effort) you'll be able to hear when someone is coming from a long way away because they'll constantly be cursing from the pain. Do, however, note that fire is a danger, and they can smoke you out with a single entrance, so make sure you have at least two which lead to separate sides of the place you're in. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2505 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── ┌────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: political-theory-mentioned │ └────────────────────────────────┘ I am sure that each and every one of the communist political theories are more developed, well rounded, and applicable to many different situations. however, I find that they often require an expert to implement. Hence why I set out to create a system that could be utilized by civilians in a war-time economy to accomplish the goals of getting everyone enough food to eat. I don't anticipate Algorism to remain permanent, but I do think that if you try to overhaul our systems and institutions with something that requires a master's degree to understand the nuances of (or a lot of dedicated reading) then people will not consent. We must replace capitalism. People like the concept of capitalism for it's simplicity, for to them its just "work a job, get dollars, go spend dollars, get stuff" That's pretty darn easy. But capitalism is an evil beast, and power accretes power. So, capitalism must be replaced with something simple which abolishes power. After the war, it can be replaced. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2506 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── I can't imagine having a fediverse feed comprised of more than 70 people.

They believe in all faiths, or rather they focus on their intersection points, and to have faith in humanity is to have generalized compassion. they also know how to organize potlucks and other events.

It is highly efficient and it allows for long-term storage of heat energy in the mass of the home. In addition, it provides a hot stove surface which can be used for boiling water or other cooking tasks which do not require a precise temperature. It is highly efficient as the smoke from the flames are sucked out of the living space and remain inside the barrel of the heater, where they are slowly consumed. there is very little exhaust, but what is there is CO2 which is deadly to breathe, so caution must be taken (as with any fire-based heating option)

If I were to direct something to be more proactive, my words probably wouldn't stick with it. that kind of thing can't be hardwired, it needs to be built up through repetitious application of something's mechanics. perhaps martial arts, focused on defence? engaging with a foe in a productive bout of playful competition is one of the best ways to learn, and knowing when to strike seems similar to me to overcoming situational paralysis. Flaws can be overcome, when upgrading robots (or a doll applying improvements to itself) you often don't need to add additional hardware or even install new firmware. Skills such as these can be built up in software with experience. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2514 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── my aspirations do not end at a city, a state, a nation.

Might need to remove a seat or three, and make sure the weight tolerances are in order. helps if you disperse it throughout the front, middle, and back.
