Use your time for something you care about, and your intentions will be expressed upon the earth. our ancestors learned how when they learned all that they could - and honestly, how much is "YouTube" retaining? I don't care if it's educational, sometimes kids just need to be free. Free from obligations yes, but free from the emotions that drive them - the ability to make their own choice. As a child, you don't know how to understand your emotions, but growing up you learn and you do. It's part of being mature - the idea that you can handle what's presented to you. ... anyway, I shouldn't say any more, you never know who is listening. (opsec is easiest to learn when you don't need it) (the more you know, the less time you should spend online. the less you know, the less time you should spend online, meeting people in strange locations that you trust. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2048 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────── psychic horrors don't pick the best, they pick the most. (not the most individual aspects/targets, but rather the one that has the most) in this way, they prioritize intelligence, which is why humanity has survived in this dark forest. for the ones with the most are often too multiplicitous (deriving their relative localized advantage to those around them in order to elevate themselves to the title of "the mostest") while those who have fewer, but still success, tend to be the most adaptable or advantageous. hence, why humanity has thrived, with scarcely 7 billion souls to the entire hive. With so few individuals, surely their strength must be astronomical! just another reason why humanity should try it's hardest. the fact that we're not all aligned toward the bold and bright future (whatever shape it may take) shows that we're being abused in order to grow faster than we're able. it's not fair, it's not right, and it's not tenable.

Like, the Post Office (which is really what Amazon is) instead of =========== =stack overflow ========== Dear Post Office: if you replaced amazon with a simple GUI and database that corresponded to "what people wanted and from where" to the current system of "picking things up from a location and putting them somewhere else as quickly and efficiently as possible", I think you'd realize that a massive threat to American economic prosperity is due to the crushing presence of inequality. Which, my dear, could be ameliorated with a simple application that a university student could make if given enough time and direction. Like, a year or two tops, using industry standard technology. The problem is of course the fact that things like aesthetic standards are so demanding - a plain HTML website, like my website, technically provides all the same information. But could be written in an afternoon. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2050 ╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────┐ ║ @user-1074 │ ║ │ ║ I think a lot of liberals feel that way.
