 "homeless" is just cap-talk for "too poor to function"

 Passive water purification:
 
 You know those solar panel arrays that aim mirrors at a large central receptor?
 Yeah, like that, except pointed at a channel of salt-water (with a grate that
 keeps fish out and such) - either collect the steam as distilled water, or use
 it to turn a generator. Or both. Clear the channel of solids every night.
 
 Want to go faster? Add more mirrors!
 
 Free clouds of pure water, which is better than the cloud seeding that just
 kicks up seawater into the atmosphere. Seawater that has dissolved micro
 plastics in it that might break down into carbonated atmosphere.

 I don't know who needs to hear this, but...
 
 I know it's gross. Once it's in the trash, you never need to think about it
 again. You can do it, just get through it. It'll be fine. You can wash your
 hands. Here, use some gloves. It's okay.

 me too! "citizen of the earth", and guess where I was born.
 
 But I also am attached to the localized region of my life, hence the favor
 shown to the country.
 
 gee these lines we draw in the sand are kind arbitrary, I mean I could
 literally just reach an arm over them and shake the hand of my mirror self.
 Kinda makes me think they're more useful as cultural demarcators instead of
 indicators of subjugative ownership.

 people shouldn't be forced to do *anything* except refraining from
 harming others.
 
 the only unethical action is an application of power to an unconsenting subject.

 if you optimize for competitive advantage, then eventually you'll optimize away
 from all the reasons to compete.
 
 which is how you get ~~paperclip~~ profit maximizers.

 do you ever think about how a fediverse instance is basically a socialist
 commune where the only needs that are met are our needs for community and
 acceptance?
 
 kinda makes me wonder if we could use it to meet other needs too, like if
 everyone had an alt account in an instance run by their city / state
 
 maybe with some extra mechanical tools that helped distribute goods and
 services without explicitly relying on the exchange of currency.
 
 or perhaps with, depending on what the instance wanted.
 
 ... that being said, such a localized instance would not be as good at building
 community. What's the meme about the 3 transgirls in the 3 different time zones?

 yep. monopolies are not competition, and yet that's what we optimize toward,
 through the nature of our planned economics.

 Viera red mages, my beloved
 
 (images from google search)
A Viera Red Mage.  Viera are tall, lithe, and agile rabbitfolk. They stand just a bit taller than a man, though their ears sticking straight up give them the impression of a much larger stature.  Red Mages are powerful arcane magic users who utilize the forces of destruction and benediction. With a glance they might light you aflame, with another perhaps abjure you with a magical shield. They are also known for their skills with a rapier, making them one of the most valuable generalist combatants. The red that is their namesake comes from the balance between harmful (black) magic and helpful (white) magic. White symbolizing purity and resolve, while black symbolizes chaos and the unknown. Red is the color of life, passion, and valor, so the combination of holy and profane belies their honest expression of their heartfelt profession. A Viera Red Mage.

 when evaluating your own work, think to yourself "how does it look to you?" ,,,
 erm well, "me" I mean, like... "do I like the thing I just made" but like, you,
 the reader who is thinking about what I'm saying. is it something you think
 conveys the message/feeling you were trying to send? do you like it
 aesthetically, and if so, why / what about it is interesting? do you have any
 new ideas after viewing your piece of old work? anything you want to expand on,
 or show more of? was any of it particularly fun to create, or did it mostly
 feel like work?
 
 these are all things you can change, and align to the goal of your intentions
 when cast upon this earth through our moments in spacetime. it's part of our
 continual growth and renewal, this process of transcender the border of one
 moment and entering the next. We, who are living beings, are continuously
 growing and evolving. every new moment will never come again, so always proceed
 as your own self would do. every moment is our home, we define it as we will.

 have to use the ones on which we agree. like, memes, instead of grammar rules.
