Portlandia is not Portland
and
what's shown online to scare you is not Portland
it's somehow more interesting than that, and also more expensive. because of
course it is.
keep portland weird yeah duh I'm weird as fuck but you wouldn't know it by
looking at me
yes you would, my dear
okay well you wouldn't know how in particular I'm weird unless you talk to me
nobody knows you. who are you even talking to
heh good question glasses flash mostly people on the train or whatever
question: when did all the "weirdos" become homeless people? what kind of world
do we live in where - wait don't answer that.
better question: how can we make a better world where people can be weird and
not starve under the stars?
(by lots and lots of government investment? no thank you, sounds like something
that can be taken away.)
(by redesigning society from the ground up? no way sounds too difficult and
optimistic.)

my mask is the best worker I've ever met. They're kind, thoughtful,
hardworking, sharp, precise, value driven, and will always help their allies
when they finish their work (to a fast and high-quality degree). Shame they
can't last too long before the mask starts to slip, at which point I become

this is a terrible idea btw, if you march along the road then your enemies can
just drive up right next to your soft fleshy humanoid flanks
if you march cross-country they'll still getcha. they know more than you, and
they're better at it too.
much better I think to divide yourselves into like, 5-7 groups and drive to
where you're going sometime in the next 5-7 days according to group. ideally
not during rush hours. that way you can bring whatever you want.
then, when you're there, in a park, you can meet other neat people and talk
THEN. in a place where you don't know which places are miked - spoiler tho it's
all of them teehee, or at least you have to treat them that way if you're
talking about specifics. If you're talking about generalities it's usually
okay, but... well, you'll figure it out.
then, after 5-7 days, you can hold an impromptu pride parade, and walk past all
the houses where gay people used to live.
plans change. planning remains.
when plans change, your adaptability is test.

people only have the context of their lives, as any historical precedent that
once was passed forth to the present by their ancestors and mentors is now
sharing space with the endless deluge of information from a small glass,
plastic, and metal box that saps both their attention and the magnitude of
anything they learn.
"so what if the planets on fire? somehow this actor who had an affair with this
other actor feels just as important. so what if there's fascism? I just heard
that whales can't swim in the ocean. oh, the city's burning? that's not my

okay imagine that you are sitting in a rock in a forest.
far away, about 100 feet away, there are other people, but you can't see them
because the underbrush is sooooo dense. they are also sitting on rocks.
you can speak to them, and share your thoughts - but you don't know exactly
where they're coming from because the sound has to bounce around off so many
different plants and such.
[that's not how that works] shut up
so, if you want to say anything important, it's important to have the right
tone, because people 2 or 3 clearings away can't really make out your words -
but they might hear your tone if you yell very loud.
the energy of the space you inhabit is the only thing that really matters. the
words that you say are just snickering to a friend, but the expression on your
face, the beating of the drum of your heart that reaches forth... that's what

however, the incentives that would lead to such a case are not the kind that
accrete power to the powerful. they are the liberatory kind, that give us all

the neat thing about tech is that it scales really well.

solar panels will be next. Trust.
we should still dismantle coal and oil, obviously we should, but at a certain
point it will be inevitable. They're just too expensive for too little gain.
the neat thing about tech is that it scales in a way that is just impossible
for infrastructural projects like housing and hospitals.
building a home is hard to do, especially when you make them out of sticks and
glue. think like a dwarf - stone never fades.

if you speak in such a way that you can only be interrupted after visiting
like, 12 different topics, then your partner can only respond to the very last
one.
much better and engaging, I find, to speak one complete idea, to allow for
continual conversation.
ah, but then if someone shares what you said, they can ignore the context.
Hence, why the combination of multiple different ideas, to give a sorta
stabilized view of your [context, but pronounced "considerations"]
the longer your thoughts, the more comprehensive your argument, but you're
likely to reach the end of your statement and hear nothing back but a "...
yeah, true though"
that's... not ideal.
I used to post a lot on conservative subreddits because they used to listen to
what you're saying and respond logically.
If you very carefully step through the assumptions of their positions, taking
care to highlight or EMPHASIZE parts of your arguments that you're planning on
using later, you can often highlight the contradictions in their thoughts.

expensive. You need to be working 24/7 in order to be worth anything, and I was
just not cut out to do that.
I want to emphasize that I consistently did a stellar job. They gave me awards
and I fixed difficult problems quickly, efficiently, and with minimal mistakes
(none of which went undocumented). I was very good at what I was doing, and I
learned quickly.
but alas, the work was not suited to my abilities. I'm more of a software
person tbh, and by "software" I mean like... basically firmware.
nobody writes in C these days except for cutting edge stuff. /shrug

want to prolong battery life?
put a warning whenever the phone has lost 100% charge that "fully discharging
the battery can reduce long-term storage capacity!" and most people won't read
it. But those that do will tell their friends about it, when their friends
inevitably complain about bad battery life - "you know you can just... not run
out of battery, that way it doesn't break" and suddenly... wait what was I
saying - oh yeah so anyway the monarchists said to the part--riotists "yeah we
don't know how to feel about you" and they took offence at that as if the
rioter's ideas weren't justified instead of unheard.
[when I jumped to the other person's perspective I lost track because I
couldn't find my way back because they don't know me]

when people ask what I do I don't say "art" because I'd do that anyway.
my art is precious to me, because it is the most "me" I can conceive.
and like... I can carry it with me to the future.
I have only once given away one of my journals, and it was a wedding present to
a witch or two.
so yeah I'm an artist, but I'm also whatever you need me to do.
and yes, I of course hope that what you need me to do is what I can do.
because I can't do much more than this.
But I can show up every once in a while,
and maybe make you smile or consider,
and maybe I can ride past on my bike.
but that's the human in me, telling me it's time to move with my feet, and I
can do little but listen.
... that should make doxxing me a bit easier. have it it : )

you can grow anything in soil.
that's the neat thing about it - it's nature's recycler
problem is... if you bury like, plastic and shit, then all that's gonna grow up
into your plants is... plastic and shit.
the structural growth mechanisms of plants are inhibited by pollution, that's
the entire issue with them. animals can adapt - like, whatever, right?
but if everything's biodegradable, then suddenly the whole world is a
trash-dump.
(that's how they think)
if you want to optimize food growth, you can supply with specific types of
growing fuel. like native americans who had like supplies of many different
types of manure.
a cow eating grass will have different nutrients in it's poop than a duck
eating carrots. duh.
so, if you combine different outputs to make new, better results...
you can pretty much bio-engineer anything you'd like.
like... feed the corn so that it's kernels are huge, right? then make that one
marry the other, and boom it's more likely grow.
[those genetics are way outdated]

those billionaires are using their money as a weapon to "vote" toward what
companies they think capitalism would most grow from. Unfortunately for us,
they often aren't very efficient because they're only looking at what sells.
human interest is not the only factor to optimize for, and yet that's the only
one they're incentivized to.
kinda makes me think that the only reason to replace them would be to institute
something that could not be incentivized because it was more objective or
decentralized.
(the only reason they'd accept)

Republicans like being self-reliant. You know, so I do too! It comes from
living in the country, I think.
the difference is, I measure myself on an abstract scale - like, as a family, a
culture, a society, and finally all of humanity. I want to be reliant on
nothing, not even nature, wholely empowered by my own arts.
they see only the feet before them, the hands they hold the world with.

there is honor in their ideals, but they have forgotten who they once were.

large corporations will often error check constantly which slows down their
software to an immense degree.
every time data passes from one function to another, there's like... 15
different tests to check if it's this type or that, or in the right random seed
and it's like... wow can you not, like. design your software intelligently and
then you won't need a bunch of slow-ass if checks every time you want to update
a string???
software should be writable without fucking getters and setters. If it isn't,
then your functions aren't complete.
