how come you NEVER online, on the internet, hear someone saying "hey guys I
know most of you blocked so-and-so but they've been getting better and
learning. They're cool now I promise! Or at least, getting better, and if you
unblocked them you could decide again for yourself. Trust me you probably don't
even remember what she said to get herself blocked."
there's like, soooooo many far right people. It's definitely because there's
soooooo few of us and not because they pretty much always agree with everything
that we say, they've just been told that a different way is better.
like, we all agree that people should be able to, for example, go to the doctor
when they are sick. That is basic.
we understand that everyone should be good, and kind, and help each other.
so many things that are shared common understandings, but we disagree on what
that means. Because our media fucking lies to us.
the things that far right grandmas believe is just what the far right
teenagers-turned-thirty-year-olds tell them.

the trick is to control the belief, not the science. Because science has a will
of it's own, it bends to no laws nor dictates but reality.
satanic summoning cults are different in that they obey the will of the

legends.

are you nervous about battle? try playing the game Running with Rifles! It's a
great simulation! See if you can live for a whole match! Good luck, don't be
useless, and only play co-op online.
competitive is useless because then you're competing against the other player
playing the game. Instead of thinking about how you should be behaving in real
life, and applying that to a reasonably accurate simulation with similar rules
to in-person modern combat.
well, the kind with infinite ammo. but you get the idea, right? like, don't
treat it as fact. Think about the nature of the actions you're performing, and
what moves you could make to best participate.
well... that game plus drones, I guess, which they haven't figured out how to
program because imagination for future tech is hard.
if you're a veteran, don't fucking play Call of Duty. Play fucking Arma. Or
RWR. Or Hearts of Iron 4. And please, use the crouch button. Use the prone

yep... Though I think debate can also get in the way.
I think we should act to improve the people's lives. Debate should teach, it
should guide, but it should not prevent.
There are more than enough resources for everyone. If you waste them, debate
can decide when you get more to use.
Much the same way that our Northern American democracy utilizes representatives
in order to distance the decision making from the decision deciding, so too
should be separate the empowered people acting for the good of all from those
who decide who are good.
Power must be earned, it must be deserved, and it must be eventually
relinquished. That is the sacred duty of those who wield power - to use it
honorably, and give it away.
we should not debate things that are not mutable. We should not waste time
complaining about how annoying other people are. who gives a shit if she wears
a dress.
we should not debate our human rights. Like bodily autonomy. it's her uterus.

yes... I like tree shapes, you have to address them differently. Lots of
pointers, in my experience, which can be kinda fun.
I also like large heaps / soups of data that points to one-another. Structs
thrown in a pile with pointers to each other. It's great! So long as those
pointers can also point back, and you can properly trace how data flows through
the system... That's the hard part, I think.
trees though... You can start by just saving a "next / previous" with one or
both being arrays of pointers to the next or previous entries. Note: plural,
entries. That's the fun part - non-linear trees teehee

my issue is that I've never really had project-mates. Every time I try nobody
will work with me. I applied to like, fifty different jobs, and nobody
interviewed me! Sheesh, guess they don't want me. FIFTY JOBS. Entry level.
Beginner programmer.
ah well. I guess they confused someone who would work for 40,000$ per year with
someone who was 1/3rd as useful as someone who deserved 120,000$ per year.
I'd love to get experience. I'm sure I'd feel significantly differently with as
much. Perhaps I'd even decide that programming professionally isn't for me,
which would feel... quite defeating
who can say. Not I, for I have not experienced it. Though I will say my time in
hardware taught me that I'm fragile and can't work too much. Like a scalpel
that dulls when used consistently, I am a scalpel that gets no practice... Is
that really useful at all? who can say. Not I, for I have not experienced it.
Though I do like writing logical machines. Laying out data. Picturing
structures.

patriotism is not about the 4th of july.
it's about believing in the virtues they've told you.
trusting that they are working with their own arms.
and checking back every once in a while, to make sure it doesn't get... frayed.
the constitution was supposed to be rewritten every 20 years
they were trying to make the best out of a conflicted situation. As all writers
of constitutions often do. why would you need a document forcing yourself to
agree, if you are the only one who is there to agree with your self? it's
circular.
however, with companions, that worked with you to resolve your crisis (like the
13 colonies pitted against the global superpower of great britain, aka the

colonialism was a purely european sport.

There absolutely is a standard for normality. Humans have existed for
so long and our conditions have stayed fairly consistent. We had good
lives and most of us knew nothing but peace. Our modern era of the past 400
years or so is strange. Life changes between generations, and now it changes
year by year. Soon there will be no consistency at all, and that is exciting

You know how we select from amongst our number electors and representatives who
vote on our behalf?
Truly an excellent strategy in the era of instant communication, an aft-gone
luxury that our ancient forebearers surely would have incorporated into their
nationbuilding design, if they had had it.
I can't help but wonder if it would be a useful strategy to "give" our votes to
a representative who voted on our behalf. Most people do not care and cannot
possess the capacity to care about voting, but if they gave their vote to
someone they trusted who they had a personal connection to beyond party
loyalty, then perhaps we could mandate voting
I can't help but wonder what that would do to our electoral landscape. If
voting is mandated, and as easy as pointing at someone and saying "yeah
whatever she picks", then perhaps the old white grannies with quivering lower
lips who stare with hatred whenever a black person walks past and chat with
their gal pals at church wouldn't have as much power over us.

"uh, the question was why do you want something like that, not how you would
implement it."
oh. Um, well, isn't a spinnable mouse-cursor justification enough?
"no, you need to explain what use-case this has. What kinds of problems could
you solve with this technology that you couldn't before?"
well, setting aside the potential for new input methods to games and the
inherent satisfaction gained from spinning a mouse like a top when bored, I
think it might give us a better option for horizontal scrolling. Like,
'horizontally scroll when a special mouse button is held down and the mouse is
twisted a bit to the left/right'
"so, like when you push the middle mouse and it lets you pan across large
documents?"
yes! Only instead of being able to go up AND down, it would just go left and
right.
"... huh?"
oh I mean instead of up/down and left/right, it would just do left/right
"... right"
and left!

they aren't distractions no more than the artillery crew are a "distraction" to
the infantry fight.
but there is no war but the class war.
they are facets of the class war.
you're both right. everything you mentioned is important, AND their core thesis
is true.
if they disregard anti-racism, feminism, queer liberation, etc as distractions
as you describe, then yes. they are narrow-minded bigots.
but in my experience, the only people who say those things are teenagers, so.
everyone has specialties. some can advocate for disability rights, queer and
women's liberation, race issues, or any other number of worthy causes. They are
fighting the class war even if they don't claim to be, for those are classes of
people they are fighting for. (or against, if they're reactionary)
the most dangerous class is the rich, the powerful, the insane. True
psychopaths accrete power and they wield it against all others. They must be

nothing you do on the internet will matter after the revolution. I don't care
how many backups you have, there's a zero percent chance that we'll be able to
figure out whose computer is whose after we've all moved around and given each
other names that don't correspond to the names of our family in states that we
lost.
it doesn't mean the internet is useless right now, it just means that you
should act as if you might not have it in the near future.
also, like... every computer has a password. which basically means that it's
useless unless you reflash it.
pain is temporary, and it is an excellent teacher. there will be pain, but...
we'll get over it.
don't give up. there are brighter things in our future than what we have today.

I did see that post but I was mostly responding to you.
There's a particular category of "leftist" who, to put it gently, have a
greatly simplified view of the world in which "the only war is class war."
I wanted to explain how the viewpoint of "the only war is the class war" is
more developed, rather than simplified. I wanted to express that it takes
nuance to understand that all oppression is connected and is derived from the
same source - the corruption of power.
They regard social issues such as anti-racism, feminism, queer liberation as
distractions from the "true" cause of bringing about a new economic system -
unimportant at best, active interference invented by the ruling class at worst.
It's not true that those who believe in the class war disregard these things.
That's just not right to me.
Basically, they're narrow-minded bigots.
I was included in your first statement and I'm not a bigot so I wanted to stand
up for myself.

the flaw in your logic is that unleaded gasoline brings us no closer to
eliminating gasoline.
in fact, it removes one of the main drawbacks of gasoline, the fact that it
would put fucking lead in our blood, and makes it slightly easier for people to
accept burning it to get places.
Now, with our unleaded gasoline, the people who were upset that lead was being
aerosolized en masse are no longer in opposition to gasoline usage. (unless
they also care about the environment)
It's the same dynamic with voting democrat. Kamala won't save us, but she also
won't dissolve the EPA or murder trans people, so... it's still worth a vote.
"Ah but Ritz that goes against your previous argument - can you clarify?"
sure. with a democratic victory, we have more time, which is what we need.
Everyone knows who the fascists are. They don't need time. We do. Voting for
Kamala and other democrats will give us time.

the alternative is lateral thinking. In the given example with leaded gasoline,
the answer is to limit the usage of all gasoline, not just the leaded kind.
However that is not in the best interests of anyone, at least short term, so
it's not likely to happen.
lateral, long-term thinking. Do what you can in the moment to make the world
better. Pick the best out of all the options presented to you, and if your
options only treat the symptoms and not the problem, try and identify solutions
that would treat the problem. Then, pick the better of the two options which
treat the symptom, and moving forward work toward implementing the solution
which fixes the problem.
Hence, why we should vote Democrat, but ONLY with the real solution in mind.
what kind of solution would you have? I know mine. I can tell you about it if
you'd like. The most important thing is that you share and build for that
future.

lessons we learned in our journeys and our trials are exactly the stories we
needed to see in order to become who we were always meant to be. The bright
future awaits us, I know this for I have seen it. Take heart, my friends, it is
time once again for our lifetimes to move forward. Hark! Hear that in the
distance? It is your destiny calling. Do you stand to meet it, alongside your
fellow and blessed kin? Or do you wallow in dark and sin, waiting for a signal
or a missive? I have done both in my time, and I'm sure you will as well.
Though I think you will find that no signals are forthcoming, and the most
powerful missives are those we tell to ourselves. A new day is dawning, but
darkness keeps us fumbling for just a bit more.
