And I got swept up. Now here I am, somehow finding myself blown on the winds of fate to stand atop a mountain and survey the lands below. I see the path to our bright future, and it is wide enough for us all to walk. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2373 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── A pocket-sized notebook and mechanical pencil is the most useful thing I've ever owned. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2374 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: pol │ └──────────────────────┘ Ideology is not important right now. As long as we believe that people should live as they define, that their rights end where another's begin, that all people are created equal, that an application of power to a non-consenting subject is evil, and that we will win then nothing else matters. We will figure out the specifics later. They are just logistics. We are united in our shared dream of health and prosperity for all mankind. What else could there be? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2375 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: food-mentioned │ └──────────────────────┘ Rice and lentils for breakfast takes ~30 minutes to cook... ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2376 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: uspol │ └──────────────────────┘ "Liberals and Conservatives" is not a useful paradigm anymore.
