I know. for the weak for the meak all we need is one week ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2452 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── fell off my bike today. It helped me get used to pain. When I heal, I'll be a bit stronger. I'm still showing up tomorrow. It was but a scratch. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2453 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: violence │ └──────────────────────┘ if you ride a bike often, master the front kick. most hand-to-hand combat is resolved with a grapple and a knife in the ribs. A front kick is designed not for impact, but rather to push your opponent away, out of arm's reach, giving you a chance to escape. I'm going to shower and sleep. Goodnight. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2454 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── fedi software which automagically migrates you to an instance servicing the 70 closest people to you, based on the address you used when signing up. As people join you may get shuffled around, but your follow list should remain intact if you want to stay in contact. in addition, it should mirror your posts and such to a larger instance which serves the 2450 nearest people (70 35), and perhaps to another instance with the nearest 85750 people (70 35 * 35) etc, as large as is necessary. Then, a client UI which allows you to view each tier as you please, and post to particular tiers according to where your posts are relevant. when performance concerns start becoming apparent, start rationing posts! For example, if you want to say something to the whole world you should maybe only get to say it once or twice a year. but talking to your neighbors? who cares! speak all you'd like. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2455 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── why not let in all the immigrants and document them all and disperse them to each state equally? then, pay for them to visit the other states until they find one they like. they can put themselves on a transfer list and swap places with someone else. then, after a period of a year or three or five or however many, they can become citizens automatically. As long as they don't commit any serious crimes - that would reset their "citizenship timer", and if it's severe enough or enough of a pattern, they could be deported to whichever country they'd like. ideally matched with support like education to teach them english and how to contribute to society, and community connections with regularly scheduled events so they can make friends. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2456 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── what I've learned so far is that people are happy. unless they have holes in their legs and back. happy people don't want to die for a better world. who am I to take that from them? "... you didn't take anything but their fear. capital did this." the people I've met are almost entirely kind. their empathy suffuses this place, and it wasn't always like this. but now it is. if a revolution was going to take place, it'd be here. I feel it in my heart. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ |
