Lie down and rot? That's incel thinking. I'm not going to do that. They've already placed the last straw. It's only a matter of time now, the tide has shifted. You can't prepare for everything, and it's not a good idea to waste yourself in self-conflageration, but they are increasingly forcing us to orient our lives around them. They deserve what's coming. The oppressed are not the defeated. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1015 ═══════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: politics │ └──────────────────────┘ @user-246 @user-744 good, you're needed elsewhere.

I vote no prison industrial complex) nor do we let non-citizens vote, for why should they tell us how to live? they are not us, they shall not control us nor do we let kings vote with the weight of a god, for a king is a singular point of failure if you can consent to sex, you are physically capable to vote. if you're mislead by the propaganda of an abusive spouse, you are hurting your future self by staying. [all media is propaganda that you are not immune to] all men are created equal, and yet his dollar is worth a bit more than hers. all of us here are equal, because we all want the bright future and a blessed life. we'll make this world better, using our own hands according to our own demands and in pursuit of our own plans. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1022 ═══════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────── @user-750 if you aren't afraid, then either you aren't in danger or you've misjudged your opponent. if you're constantly afraid, then they cannot yet defeat you.

In this game, you make tactical and strategic decisions on a fixed term - a competitive game between 4 or 8 players with an incredible array of randomness. it teaches you to work with what you got, and to make decisions based on your opponent's weaknesses. Good luck figuring out what they are, though, as you can't just memorize them out of a book. You need to adapt, in the moment, to the decisions of your foes, while primarily focusing your attention on accomplishing a different task. I really like it because it's taught me to be strategic in plenty of other ways. I used to love the game Overwatch because it required adaptibility. The game was always changing, so no strategy stuck forever, but every match you'd play against a *slightly* different opponent. but then Blizzard changed the game because they wanted to make more money, and it got worse and worse at what I liked about it.

Sometimes really difficult or important things (like how to get to the next stages of political liberation) can benefit from a multitude of voices, but once consistency is achieved they can apply themselves with a single voice. community is how we communicate. Communication is good, I think. Can't help but wonder if we're all here because we share an interest in open-source-so-actually-usable communication methods. community isn't everything, but it's something, and everything's useful. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1033 ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ the nerds who know the backstory of every character in the series are like, the │ ║ bishops of the past - people who've memorized the whole bible and can use │ ║ whatever passage they needed for whatever purposes they desired. │ ║ │ ║ Usually, hopefully, helping people and letting them get better.
