 lego sets for adults have lots of detailed pieces and parts.
 
 lego sets for kids have even numbers of every part, except crown pieces.

 "nobody told me you can wear skirts above your boobs!"
 
 they used to have straps, too.
 
 [above boobs, below armpits]
 
 also like a skirt for your shoulders, but only a really flowy one would work.

 replying to a post here is weird because it's kinda like... graffiti of their
 ideas onto yours. or like, the space right next to yours.
 
 on reddit, the post is just the topic, and the discussion is what matters.
 
 here, the post is what matters, and discussion is more like Q&A or
 complicated "like" buttons to extend the impression of the original.

 I love this a lot! I want to put function pointers in a "matrix architecture
 array" and make them point to different functions at different points in the
 program. I bet you could even point them at each other, so like if M and Y then
 point at N, A, Y or something.
 
 this is really cool I like stuff like this tomorrow I'll take pictures of
 something similar I'm working on! I abandoned it tho hehe anyway remind me if I
 forget!!

 kinda makes me think they do that on purpose so that you spend all your time up
 to date and that way they can quickly patch in and out security flaws fast
 enough that nobody notices.

 display scaling accomplishes a similar goal through a different mechanism. You
 might find that the visuals are sharper, however you will need to configure
 every program to use this functionality (if it's present, which it's not in
 most programs) - for OS level things this is usually a good option.
 
 Changing the resolution will change the size of ALL visuals on your computer,
 but they might be fuzzier (but if you're blind as a bat, why would you care
 about fuzziness? It's all fuzzy!)
 
 increasing the font size can also make it easier to read, which both of these
 options are doing in a sorta round-about way.

 mine is only 22" I think and it's about the same distance so now that I think
 of it my poll might be flawed! I forgot to account for screen size!
 
 You're right a proper scale is better quality-wise, but it doesn't always scale
 everything y'know? plus changing the resolution is more low-tech which is my
 vibe hehe

 what if all the AI advancements they're doing are just them building more
 hardware infrastructure in datacenters and not actually improving the software
 that much
wouldn't that be neat I think it would because it means once they collapse under the weight of their own ambitions that hardware's gotta go somewhere and knowing them they're probably going to ship it to south-east asia to be "recycled" (read: burnt with the metals salvaged) instead of selling them second hand because you know they can't really justify the business expense of selling stuff like that and besides what if some driver or something on the firmware was proprietary do you really want to pay techs to wipe every single thing off of them and plus who's gonna categorize and sort them according to their form and function that's just extra payroll and listen the company's not doing so hot anyway I mean we're literally shutting down but yeah sure we'll find a way to justify spending all that non-existent dosh so some hippies can feel better with their servers they didn't build or justify with their profit-producing capitalist enterprise that we've built with our own two hands well really the hands of everyone else but like, they're not actually doing the building the REAL work of course happens in board rooms like this one where we spend MINUTES and HOURS sometimes discussing how to get things in order and aligned to both of our goals because that's the REAL work that has to happen in order for stuff to get done, you know it's true yeah I thought so anyway what are you doing after this meeting wanna get lunch it's almost quitting time at 2pm

 if tech CEOs wanted to solve REAL problems they'd think about things like how
 every girl has a drawer or box FULL of nail polish and it really, really
 doesn't need to be this way.
 
 For example, picture a fleet of delivery drones that let you swap nail polish
 with people nearby for basically zero-dollars per month.
 
 that's just one example, but that class of problem is the problems that affect
 a certain class of people that tech CEOs fundamentally do not care about - and
 yes I'm referring to people who paint their nail polish themselves. AKA women,
 and poor people who can't afford going to a salon every week.
 
 problem is....... for every solution like this you design, well suddenly you
 have a lot more applications for it than the consumer needs or wants. like for
 example what if they delivered grenades instead of nail polish. NOT GOOD.
 
 much better, I find, to abolish the powers that would utilize such murderbots
 BEFORE inventing the murderbots : )

 I have nothing but respect for the officers who do their jobs without malice.
 
 I'm a paladin, so I am aligned against elemental evil, not against a lawful
 institution.
 
 However, those who hurt innocents, those who target the weak, the meek, the
 type that don't fit in, the poor, the sick, the vulnerable, and the broken, the
 foreigners and strangers, the leftists and their communicators, all of the
 kinds of people who strive to make a better world for all, not just for the few
 who claim superiority and dominion over others... yeah those people are my
 enemy.
 
 I do believe structures and institutions can be evil, but I have no knowledge
 of what goes on inside the FBI's internal structure. So I cannot judge if it is
 evil. I do however know how capitalism works, elementally, and I know that
 capitalism is evil (less evil than monarchy or despotism perhaps, but still
 evil)
 
 therefore, I am leftist. I strive for better world for all, in whatever form
 they desire.

 if I were on stage at a pride parade:
 
 "hi, you guys know Pride is a protest, right? Well, this time's different,
 because protests only work against democracies, and they only sorta work then.
 
 This time though, we're not up against a democracy, so Pride is not a fucking
 protest.
 
 Okay okay bear with me - what if each and everyone one of us met up here in a
 week and drove up to Seattle? Then, we gathered everyone we could, and marched
 our cars down through every city on the west coast. When we hit the border, we
 would drive to Texas, and once there we would march in every city in the street
 chanting "We're here, if you're queer, come with us or they'll fucking kill
 you."
 
 then, we could hit every city in the south, and upon arriving in Philadelphia
 we could take a break, ensure everyone has a place to stay, and then disperse
 again, after having learned how to fight fascists on OUR terms, with OUR
 strength, and with OUR PEOPLE saved."
 
 thats what I'd fucking say. Who the fuck says stuff like that?

 people naturally differentiate themselves from their peers as they grow up.
 
 well, some grow attached to role models, but in that case they differentiate
 themselves from their peers by being an adherent to the role model, not the
 role model itself. And if there's multiple, you can bet one is the shy one and
 one is the gregarious one. Or other similar contrast.
 
 this simple fact is key to the hypocrisy of fascism. It's so simple, and yet
 their demand for conformity is their downfall. For people will naturally become
 themselves, and their "self" is naturally different than the people around them.
 
 the world they so dearly cling to is an oroborous - a snake eating it's tail.
 
 however... it is also the source of fascism. For if everyone is kind, there
 will be one, perhaps some, who are hateful. This is natural, but it's not...
 ideal.
 
 As a person grows up, their choices reflect what they believe. They may choose
 to be hateful, or they may choose to be prideful. I rather pride than hate.

 hi, so... yeah I'm a strange person
 
 it's tough to get to know me
 
 and this probably feels cringe to read
 
 but I once heard you should kill the part of you that cringes
 
 so... here's me
 
 I'm 
 
 ================================================== stack overflow ==============
 
 ... where was I? oh yes and THAT's when the nail went through the roof, and it
     scared the heck out of... wait, what was I talking about? OH yes so anyway
 
 I was born in the cool summer of 1864 - there was a rustling breeze that held a
 steady note for the entire evening, and into this world I arose. [awoke?]
 
 my mother held me but for a moment before I was whisked away to be cleaned and
 cared for. this was unusual for the time, as most mothers clutched their
 children to their breasts. But alas, I alone was spared her touch, and so I was
 cast (as if in bronze) as my own volition.
 
 as I had grown, I heard tales of distant times, and assumed they were places you
 could go. Then, when my time came to wander, I found nought of what I had grown
 most fonder - though I did find plenty else, besides.
 
 Instead, times are places we travel through, as a cripple might ride on a cart.
 across the sea, through lands of mystery, viewable only from the road. In 1864
 that's how other lands you'd come to know.
 
 As I travelled from place to place, it felt as if a stage had been cast, with a
 single actor or three illuminated as a spotlight. "Here, pay attention to me,
 I'm here for the story and the plot!" though often I'd glance around, and hear
 mostly my own thoughts, I grew to learn to appear.
 
 different themes, different tales, if you want to see a most marvelous scene,
 take a baby to Disney World and only pay attention to what they're looking at.
 
 My grandfather worked there, so in my first year or so I spend a LOT of time
 there. My parents were very dedicated to raising me, I appreciate every moment
 of it. Which... Is probably not a good thing to say on a transfemme server,
 oops I should delete that part
 [esc->k->k->k->0->v->shift(held)->G->$->"->*]
 
 also I should mention I'm stoned as fuck this is just what I do

 any dollars. You could like... "swipe" through UI options, and pick whichever    │
 felt most useful for your setup. Like, how some people use i3 and some use dwm   │
 with maybe inspectors that are modeled off of video-game style "options" GUIs    │
 that mainly correspond to flags on the command/terminal line or compilation      │
 flags                                                                            │
 I feel like that kind of abstraction would make it a lot easier for users to     │
 adjust their system. they're noobs, after all. gotta show them all the choices   │

 just wanna say that the reason Biden gives arms to Israel is so they can         │
 contest Saudi Arabia and others.                                                 │
 we also buy a lot of oil from Saudi Arabia, because that's their primary export. │
 they are a rich nation because of their natural resources, which would           │
 otherwise be stagnant under the desert, and so this gives us (through them) the  │
 right to pollute our atmosphere and melt the bones off of people at the equator  │

 however, if the military (we've built) combined with the economy (we sustain)    │
 then they could dominate any players in the region. Thus, a new kingdom          │
 ascendant, which is kinda their long-term plan. gotta have a foe to pit your     │
 citizens against, or else they'll never listen to you.                           │
 those dummies just want to sit around and watch clouds all day! listen they're   │
 sitting on a WEALTH of natural resources and what, they just want to be hippies  │

 I'm an actor, of course I play different roles with different faces. But just
 as one faces behind two mask, so too does my voice come from the same mouth.
 
 well, that's not true, I speak in many different places. different sets, same
 actor, perhaps character.
 
 really though the main throughline of all of my treasured expressions is I'm
 basically a manic-pixie-dream-girl-programmer-witch who wears diapers and prays
 to her own god. it's like... a lot of things in one.

 I can't wait to see the new discussions we have in this updated presidential
 reality. Perhaps tactics and messages could be exchanged, and ideas for how to
 apply what is written and spoken.
 
 tomorrow is like, wayyyyyyyy behind yesterday. That's just how time works these
 days. And so it's important to go for it.
 
 I'm excited! This is legitimately a sorta-expected-sorta-not update to our
 conditions! Now we can re-evaluate any negative fears we had, and feel
 emboldened by our shared mutual courageous [anti-fear??] goals we've had!

 I wish I could like... ride my bike somewhere for an hour or two, consult for a
 bit, then ride home (or to the next place)
 
 that'd be a fun way to apply myself, and it'd give me the chance to have some
 space for myself. as long as I had time to rest, I'm usually only good for half
 of a day.
 
 unless it's a project with a lot of tasks that need coordination, like building
 a house or working through a short-term urgent disaster.

 whenever my cat is whining I walk around doing things that she might want until
 she stops trying to claw me - oh you want your litter cleaned? yeah sure I
 gotchu. oh you wanna go outside? nah okay how about playing with this yarn? no?
 okay let's see... oh dear you can see the bottom of your food bowl,
 conveniently forgetting the other mostly full food bowl over there... 😅

 some lessons can only be learned from the past. In a decent person, a mistake
 would not persist beyond their chance to remedy it.
