I'm sick of us-vs-them, why can't they just be more like me? oh right, because diversity. I am normal, look how normal I am. I'm definitely normal enough to lead a nation or a band. gonna take a moment to do nothing for as long as I can. gonna take a moment to be productive as I can, which in my case, since I'm so normal eyeroll is to play video games to keep myself busy, smoke weed to keep myself from feeling busy, and sleep for 16 hours a day because that's what babies do and babies aren't busy, they're just sleeping all day and being amazed about their hands. don't ever sacrifice your people. least of all your leaders. it's not worth the price, your people are your greatest resource. squander them and despair, have faith in them and be fair, and nothing's that simple or easy but there are some lines not to cross. dark magics ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧══════─────┘ -> file: fediverse/6277 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────── I'm thirsty!

I think each state should be its own nation, and the federal government should essentially just coordinate trade between them and organize a common militia that they use to contest outside threats. How unfair is it that we don't get snap funding because they couldn't resolve their differences? And how big of a problem would it be if suddenly everyone in red states suddenly lost their government benefits... And yes it's true that i love America, through and through. These States have stood United for several hundred years, but the American United States deserve a bit more freedom than is currently granted to. They need to know where they stand, we need to prove to each other why we need each other. To that end, we must weaken ourselves, as a weight lifter weakens her body by lifting, so that we might grow and heal our wounds and bind new accords as her body does do with her muscle fibers. We will come out of it stronger for it, if we truly desire unity. I think we do, on an abstract level, but practically we're constantly fighting. Luckily, the past is soon fading, and we have new tomorrows upon which to write our boons and our sorrows, so let's make the most of each new light and try for something that might awake, remake, and refine us. We shall define us, we who are yet hoping. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧══════─────┘ -> file: messages/1062 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────── I believe that all people's should be middle class, and if you're lower class it's because you squandered your wealth, not that you didn't have it to begin with. I believe people of higher class should get there because they are skilled, respected, or otherwise beloved. I believe they should hold less power the more they own, because wealth is its own burden and reward. I believe people who have power should respect it. They aren't necessarily those who have little, or much, but rather those who deserve it. It is difficult to estimate systematically who deserves wealth or power, but difficult problems are the most interesting if kept fair. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧══════─────┘ -> file: messages/1063 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────── What if instead of listing food in our ingredients as a paragraph we instead listed them in tab-separated-rows-by-columns like excel spreadsheets except with justifications for everything has its place in the ingredient dish. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧══════─────┘ -> file: messages/1064 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────── Stores should store things.
