Well, since you │ ║ control all of your communication methods like irc or irl, then there's nothing │ ║ to worry about because you can just overwrite what they're saying with things │ ║ that don't matter but still need to be said, like lawyer speak in EULAs that │ ║ nobody reads because like honestly, why would you right like they're │ ║ interesting sometimes but frankly they're unenforceable, right? that's what I │ ║ read on a website that someone hosts online that I don't know on a computer │ ║ using software that had an EULA that I didn't read. ehhhh you know how it goes, │ ║ always along for the ride. │ ╟─────────┐ ┌───────────┤ ║ similar │ │ different │ ╚═════════╧═════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1405 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── you don't always have to get a perfect score >.> @user-974 aiming for exactly 0 characters remaining ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1406 ╔════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ the more cute people I meet on this website the more I realize that I'm not │ ║ interesting, I'm just more interesting than the people I know.

All of their mechanics are abstractions upon the competition between the player and the computer (and possibly other players), which creates a disparity of outcomes - some must win, others must lose. I think that's okay, though. There's something inherently satisfying about power. I believe such interactions should exist in our diversions, not our institutions. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1414 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── ┌────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: cursed-strange-weird-gardening-tip │ └────────────────────────────────────────┘ they say that slugs don't like salt because they turn into pickles of course that's not true, cucumbers turn into slugs when fed a diet of leaves and cucumbers ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1415 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── everyone has a right to their interpretation of events. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1416 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── @user-979 @user-980 they do it for power. power corrupts, and these profane desires they possess are the definition of evil. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1417 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── a 4th dimensional entity would exist at about the same speed we do sometimes... it feels like what I do is my responsibility to the universe like, I had been commanded the reason nations are important is because they are an allegiance based solely on geography. something we can all agree on is the material, so why not define ourselves by it? but that's all they are just words we pray to our star so look around. Your allegiance is to your neighbor, and theirs to theirs, an endless fabric of trust. We are all neighbors on this ball of sticks and mud, so come along with me and see the ways it could be. Much brighter, by far, to orbit our star, than to give up on life's precious notions. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1418 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── the path to defeating hunger lies not in feeding people, but rather in reducing the prices. I personally believe in FREEdom as an ideal, and why not strive for the ideal? to defeat greed, you must banish inequity. Ah, but people like inequity, or else they wouldn't revere such power. maybe there's no going back. maybe there's no future. is it really such a crime to live in the present? I know who I'd like to be -> someone who prepares the world for posterity. knock-knock, did your doorbell break? or are you still on vacation? How long's it been, weeks? months? are you ever coming back again? it's lonely without you here, I miss you and your neighborly definitions. though I'm sure it's much brighter, wherever you are, so I think I'll stay here and orbit our star. Much calmer for me, and this way I don't have to watch you bleed, so take this as my honest confession. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1419 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── City of Villains is a fun game where you can beat up both superheroes *and* nazis https://youtu.be/VtyfDBqpTVU best viewed at 360p in my opinion ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1420 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── @user-982 funny how that works ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1421 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── @user-122 hi I looked at your profile and it says you're one of the two people on tech.lgbt why are there so few people? when I joined last year there were so many ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1422 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── competition is valuable because it empowers us through sport. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1423 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── "of course, I'm on lots of places on the internet.

With the addition of lies it becomes abuse, perpetuated by (and assigned to) the leader or whoever is foremost. Like... "Red team won because they were a better shot" versus "blue team just wanted to play along" if you let the loser define the narrative, then you will always align yourself to them. but the other way around is oppression. everyone has a right to their perspective. It is the only thing that is truly their own here on this earth - a soul, of a man, if you will. if you let competition define who needs the most support, rather than who is the most remarkable, then you'll find that most of your ethical qualms are quelled or at least stifled. Which is a good thing, right? How would we define ourselves except against injustices. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1426 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── I am dogmatic with my code of ethics.

Same for "kill yourself" and "save yourself". If only there was a universal language that we could speak to our refridgerator (or other parts of the world prone to tapping) where positive messages would have a different amount of syllables from negative ones. Ah well I guess that's why they call it an angel *and* devil tapping on your shoulder. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/263 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── Inside of me there are two wolves.
