If it doesn't cause distress, don't touch it. "babe you literally piss yourself on accident if you forget to go to the bathroom, what's your plan" oh um how kind of you to ask, uh, it's mostly just to close my ears and hope it goes away. like the weird thunder last night haha I'm pretty sure it wasn't raining but I might have just been stoned? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3317 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────── @user-1493 the trick is to wait until they congregate on their own, then surround them.

Drama and excitement is what gets them through the day, while most people are driven by something more inertial or instinctual or goal-focused. you don't have to be on all the time. if you're tired, then rest! if you're hungry, then eat! if you're thirsty, then drink! if you're lonely, then speak, if you're sad, then cry, if you see some friends at a party, then dance like tomorrow you might die. That's how I like to be, and I think it's a decent way to be. it can be prone to dramatics though...

You could be spending that on 3d printers! Unrelated, but companies are wasting their time at pride. Wanna know how you can help? Pick 15 attendees and pay for their entire Amazon wishlists. Then, have a competition with all the other companies for fame and prestige of who bought the best gifts (that are explicitely asked for and randomly assigned) while they work to secure the rest of the things they need. The things that can't be bought, the things which utilize gifts from Amazon shopping lists, the organizations and groups of people working toward a common goal. The common goal that queer people share, the liberation of all of mankind. Corporations could actually help them work toward that by tangibly improving their material conditions. Like by buying everything on their Amazon wishlists. (that's just an example, doesn't have to be amazon, but that kind of vibe. Giving them everything they have previously had need of, but couldn't access. The idea being that they would then implement those newfound capabilities, through their own usage or in the guided manipulations of another's will. Like a teacher to a child, bringing forth understandings the child may use in their future lives, people may be given new capabilities and taught how to use tools that the teacher might have placed on their Amazon shopping list, and were subsequently provided by a corporation sponsoring a small segment of pride, but did not possess the time to use. They may possess the functionality (skills and muscle memory and such) yo utilize those new tools, but without the time to do so they cannot. So, they might teach another, who then might provide the same impulse that the sponsored person (with the fulfilled Amazon wishlist) was initially guided. (by). Like, if bought a 3D printer, I might spend a hundred hours learning how to do it, I might spend 50 if I was taught one-on-one. But someone who already knows how to use it could use it (have it instead) and fulfill the need that I had which initially encouraged me to reach for a 3D printer I neither possessed not owned nor could operate. The need remains, and may be fulfilled by the person who was given the 3D printer who can use the 3D printer by the person who was fulfilled it from their Amazon wishlist by the corporation who believed in the same common goal as the queer liberation of humanity and eternity. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/488 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────── Look at the unique patterns in a programming language, and you will find within them a usecase. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/489 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────── Many autistic people will identify one particular way to do things and then be only capable of doing it that way.

On the other hand, art is necessarily divorced from it's meaning the moment it leaves the pen and is written to paper. So there cannot be a meaning in my flag, not one that I define of course. The observers of the artwork, of whom I am but one of, can possess their own ideas of what it means, of course. Here's mine, feel free to take your own: Sea, land, sky. The crimson of a fading light, and the bright beginnings of a new day. Man(kind), with our vivid red internals, stands astride the border of the ocean and the surface. We walk where we will, perhaps into the black depths of the cosmos beyond, but forever do we anchor ourselves and owe allegiance to our earth and our star. Sunlight casts crimson light upon our externals, as our hearts do beat through time. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3322 ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────┐ ║ @user-246 │ ║ │ ║ yes, when defining with numbers it's easy because one is one and that's done. │ ║ │ ║ with concepts such as infinity or direction or cardinality, it's more difficult │ ║ because you need more than just a "magnitude from zero" to describe them.

That way all the normies can be like "hell yeah that badass is on our side - hell yeah we're pointing the right direction - hell yeah now I know whose flanks to cover" that kinda vibe. like woad warriors painting themselves with psychedelic toad venom (okay minus the psychedelics, trust me) the display of design heightens the absurdity and intensity of the moment. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3324 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────── @user-246 If I follow correctly, the reason it's not is because you're dividing zero by two? meaning the magnitude of infinity would be zero. ... chat, is infinity just... zero, viewed from a different perspective? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3325 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────── @user-246 so... if infinity is the inverse of zero, then when inverted would infinity also be zero? if so, it follows that the [spectrum/dimension/cardinality/direction] that the inversion is occurring upon might also have other steps inbetween. Unless it's a binary thing, like "top and bottom" or "present and absent". I wonder what those steps might look like? Clearly, since infinity minus infinity does not equal zero, the steps inbetween (if they exist) would not be numbers. If they were, then one single step from inverting infinity would be 1, but I don't believe that would be true. On the topic of rings, the axioms would be things like "a ring is a ring if you can trace a continuous line with a length of infinity across it's ring-like-surface"? I wonder what the inverse of a length is... Or perhaps you cannot invert a length, as to do so would give you a length of zero (in this particular ring-like-case) ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3326 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────── @user-246 It's interesting to me that we can divide by infinity, but not zero.
