 she thinks she doesn't have any friends because she smells bad
 
 but the truth is she's lonely because she's a secret agent sent by the
 government through her dreams to spy on the aliens who think she's jesus by
 posting their conversations on a public message board

 Considering the fact that medical care is so expensive, surely that means the
 expertise, labor, materials, and infrastructural capability to address people's
 health and well-being is in tight supply.
 
 meaning, for things I can understand and live with, I should avoid seeking help
 because those resources could be applied toward some cause that can't be lived
 with, or is not understood. If it doesn't cause distress, don't touch it.
 
 "babe you literally piss yourself on accident if you forget to go to the

 raining but I might have just been stoned?

 the trick is to wait until they congregate on their own, then surround them.
 They're outnumbered right now, and that's great for us. But it means they stay
 home, in the shadows, for now.
 
 It kinda feels bad to win so handily. Like, damn, their "bark really was louder
 than their bite", wasn't it?

 low-drama... or normal drama? people who are prone to histrionics can be
 exhausting, and it's often exhausting for them as well. 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... YMMV

 Why are you buying bumper stickers and flair? 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.

 Many autistic people will identify one particular way to do things and then be
 only capable of doing it that way. Like, falling asleep on the left side with
 their legs just so, and never learning any other ways to sleep on. But what
 happens if for example they are wounded in the arm they rest upon? They would
 have impaired sleeping capabilities! Not ideal.

 An image means nothing, for it is just an icon.
 
 like a picture of a floppy disk corresponding to writing memory from RAM into a
 hard disk platter, even tho those have three different tasks, so too does my
 icon gesture at something.
 
 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.

 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. Rules  │
 means more contradictions, which is totally okay! It just means you need more    │
 than one definition of "infinity" for example, for different contexts.           │
 use a scalpel for surgery or art, when precision is needed, use a pocket-knife   │
 like a leather~~man~~daddy for tougher tasks like whittling a spear or throwing  │
 a spear or stabbing fascists with spears - where was I going with this? oh yes:  │
 when thinking of sets, to me infinity is more like... "too many numbers" like,   │
 the meme with the guy who is having difficulty holding too many limes. They      │
 overflow and spill out of your set-like-container, no matter how you define the  │
 boundaries of the set. "does the set of all sets include itself or does it       │
 overflow" kinda vibe.                                                            │

 in the modern era, no sufficiently advanced militia would use banners. They're
 sOoOoOoOo two thousand years ago.
 
 today, we just dress up in pup masks or wear a trans flag as a belt or wear
 solid black and red or whatever. 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.

 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?

 @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)

 It's interesting to me that we can divide by infinity, but not zero. I feel
 like it's true that dividing by zero would equal infinity (or maybe zero too
 lol) but I don't know how to prove it T.T

 if so, then don't think about it too hard, you might need disability too!
 
 speaking as someone who needs disability aid but can't get it because of
 restrictions like this (also can we talk about the multi-year process to secure
 such rights, like c'mon rent's due every MONTH) I have to say that you're
 right, it's bullshit, UBI for all, disability benefits for those who need more,
 and employment for people who believe a cause is worthy enough to apply
 themselves towards it.

 normalize in your mind the fact that it is impossible to tell if a picture is
 fake or not.
 
 Maybe it's not true, maybe you can still tell, but you might get tricked.
 
 -- al so --
 
 everything they accuse us of doing is something they perfected themselves. "why
 would my enemy do it if we didn't do it first?"
 
 But I want to caution you and state very clearly that the things they accuse us
 of are NOT the only things they do. They are clandestine. They only speak
 publicly of the things that we have noticed. They are much better than we are
 at keeping their damn mouths shut and only talking about their operations
 behind closed doors.
 
 meanwhile, for us it's like "check out these T-shirts I made isn't my sign neat
 hey what are you doing later wanna get some coffee"

 I do this. I'm sorry. I try to avoid it, but sometimes I'm like 40 characters
 above the limit and I can't find a way to edit my poem down so I just
 screenshot the bottom part and continue the text in the alt-text.
 
 Please let me know if I can do anything better. Like should I add a notice at
 the start of the alt-text like "this is a continuation of the post in
 screenshot form. There are negative 40 characters remaining. Here is the text:
 blah blah blah" or should I just continue the text without an explanation?

 economics only makes sense if economics are driven by rules. So, centrally
 planned economies make sense to study. "market economies" are about as
 scientific as predicting which memes will blow up on twitter or whatever.

 my understanding is, if someone wanted to create something like that, they

 Activitypub or HTTP are protocols for a free and open internet.

 I'll add a "continued in picture..." at the end of the post, and a "...
 continuation from post" at the start of the alt-text. I hope that is
 sufficient. [heart emojis with smiling faces] 🥰

 I think it'd be neat to have two tiers of follow lists - like, "close follow"
 and "far follow" - the close one would have a cap of like, 70 people or so and
 be primarily used for coordination or close friendships, while the far one
 would be more like "I like this person and I want to see them on my main feed
 because they make funny memes"
 
 then they could be sorted into different sections, sorta like how you can have
 "local timeline" and "federated timeline" and "home" and "instance timeline"
 etc etc
 
 sooooo weird how the "local" timeline doesn't show me people who live near me
 in relative proportion to their distance from me. That'd be neat too, to have
 the ability to talk about regional things in a specific place on a website
 without losing the benefits from using a cohesive platform.

 bad people are cursed with evil.
 
 a person cannot be evil. they can deal with such evil in their lives that
 twists them, and causes them to spike out and harm others, but they are not
 evil themselves.
 
 some twists are too hard to mend. some healings leave people a shadow of what
 they once were, or might have been. but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try.
 
 deprive power, supply kindness, in that order.
 
 if you cannot deprive power, then reduce harm.
 
 if you cannot reduce harm, then contest, defeat, or overcome.
 
 A twisted person may be slain if death is on the line. You get what you wish
 for, but you don't always get to choose who. Don't let them choose. They will
 choose poorly.
 
 ... I find that death is very rarely on the table, though. Generally they'll
 make their intentions apparent.

 also, a wide net catches many fish but the fish we're catching are the size of
 whales, and they don't care for our thin-as-heck nets. Much better to take a
 targeted approach, and focus on one um, genocide, at a time.
 
 plus, what are our efforts going to do besides build organizational capability,
 solidarity, and collective power that we might use to larger and more urgent
 ends? they will not change their behavior based on our demands, they have shown
 they will not, and they do not care. But that means our efforts are all the
 more vital - we must build a structure and societal machine which will defeat
 them, and we start that process by meeting in a park and working with our
 hearts.

 I know it's not like that but I'm intentionally framing it that way to make a
 point about societal exclusion.
 
 nobody should be excluded.
 
 nobody should have to harm their friends to come by making them sacrifice their
 [time/labor/paycheck] in order to bring them along.
 
 we live in a post scarcity society that insists on commodification of everything
 
 we don't have to. A better world is within reach. It sits there, twinkling like
 asbestos resting at the base of a snowglobe, while we search and ponder and
 endlessly analyze how society sucks.
 
 there is nothing left to analyze. all that we need is to put our hands to a
 task and our feet to grass.
 
 the rest will come, and it'll come easier with time and focused attention.

 a screenshot of the Goron's Ruby from Ocarina of Time.
 
 A smooth, flat stone comprised of two materials. The hardened outer shell is
 thick with spiritual energy, and it radiates light the way a rippled piece of
 silk folded over a malleable piece of gold.
 
 the inner jewel is crystallized like the purest ice, but a bright shade of
 crimson white. it seems to radiate an aura of affection and the yellow-gold
 back-piece can be seen peaking through it's mostly transparent core. (think
 like fog or thick mist or steam or smoke).

 all they have to do is [train the LLM / redirect the search results] with
 examples that point to their version of software instead of the one that
 doesn't harm them and suddenly your business opponents can't function properly.
 sure would be a shame if the only things people could find related to your
 political candidate were the bad or embarrassing parts.
 
 like... why would you even need to go on the internet anymore if AI could
 trivially answer your questions or be your friend (running locally on a
 wireless hotspot)

 they don't want artificial intelligence to augment human intelligence, they
 want it to replace it.
 
 like... imagine an office worker randomly copy-pasting whatever pops up and the
 computer saying "okay then what happens... uh-huh... okay and what if you click
 the green button? ... right... okay, and now try typing this" etc

 game where people in helicopters designate targets for a massive mech the size
 of godzilla (but which moves much slower)
 
 while infantry 1/10th the size of normal RTS units capture buildings
 
 the goal? take out artillery emplacements which are aiming at your mech while
 also protecting your own emplacements
