 fedi is just an invitation to visit the lives of other people going through
 things at the speed of time

 "something something trump wants to faucet the PNW's water to the desert"        │
 oh, so you're saying that he wants to invest in a massive infrastructural        │
 project which will help millions of people? And, uh, how does he want to pay     │
 for that?                                                                        │
 Surely the best approach would be to make the people who use the most water pay  │
 for it, right? I mean, it's ironic, and related, and it gives them their just    │
 deserts, right?                                                                  │
 So make a tax (that's how you make people pay for things) and levy it against    │
 Nestle, who bottles up all of the water in the desert and sells it for pennies   │
 to brown people who can't afford to build water infrastructure because they      │
 keep spending all their pennies on useless things like bottled water.            │
 And make it a big tax, please, so that they're forced to re-evaluate their       │
 business model and divert wealth from their least contributionary workers (aka,  │
 those at the top making millions) and spend it on something useful like          │
 desalination plants or water turbines or whatever.                               │

 I've played 1, 2, 3, and 14. I'll check out 5 but isn't it full of cyberpunk

 okay instead of algorithm music what if we just paid DJs 24/7 and they could
 make whatever they wanted - y'know, like artists, who curate the nature of a
 moment
 
 they could rotate in shifts for each type of channel and boom suddenly you've
 re-replaced airwaves, just... this time replicated on the internet. That way
 you wouldn't have to waste that radio bandwidth.
 
 seriously internet infrastructure would be so much more comprehensive and
 durable if we sent bits directly through "sound" waves (radio waves, not sound
 waves) - but alas, we can't do that, even in very targetted ways, because the
 ocean's too choppy, and any sufficiently powerful radio blast would be
 
 ================== stack overflow ================
 
 that's why you can't trust in peace. you see, war's the only answer, otherwise
 you'd have strange little competitions between one another. much better to
 focus outward, and direct your attention to external areas instead. like china
 or the sudan.
 
 "ah but that's murder, you can't abandon a unique part of your whole. For the
 same reason that it's important to preserve plant and animal species, because
 you never know when some part of them will be utilized for some biological
 purpose! We know so little about the natural world, and if we just spent some
 time, and energy, we'd realize there's very little else that is precious on
 this earth.
 
 who cares about gold. who cares for the jewelry. we're better than decorating
 our resumes and polishing our accounts. we, as humans, can solve every
 issue that animals are likely to face. AND WE DO WHAT? How careless, how vain.
 To watch your earth in peril and [vane/vanity]
 
 there is no more important task to any human on this earth than the
 preservation of our world, our species, and our [heart/heartfelt empathy and
 kindness and trust]
 
 we can figure out the rest later. Real life? what the fuck is that? When's the
 last time your life has felt "normal"? We are in DANGER. and you pull children
 from traffic, don't you?
 
 who the fuck gave these people all of your money they clearly
 haven't got the will or the talent to well utilize it. Don't you realize that
 you as a species can GO wherever you WANT. You can FIX things. [oh dear she's
 animal cam again] like BRIDGES that are PASSAGEWAYS over the FLOWS.
 
 ... oh deer, they're so passagewayenthusiast. us riverstones love to hear them
 walk past, the click of their hooves on the shallow forest's [pourest?].
 
 moss is the most alive. amongst all the species of plants and animals, moss
 holds the most life. we are carbon based lifeforms, and moss absorbs
 the most carbon from the air. It's basically the coolest plant too, because it
 can be watered with misty air. Hence, why moss is common in the
 pacific northwest, canada, and probably forest places in the north of eurasia
 too idk if they have moss over there, never been.
 
 anyway rich people who are told "yes" all the time have a difficult time
 understanding the nature of choice. I mean, if one of their servants approached
 them and asked "hey do you want to build an orphanage in uganda" they'd
 probably be like "fuck yeah I do" and then suddenly they're 400,000$ richer
 
 it's not alright. Seriously, how the heck would they even use all
 those resources? And yeah, I get it, inflation would be sooooo much more
 expensive, but here's the thing - inflation is a measurement of how much the
 rich take from us each year. And it's marginal, too, so 3% inflation
 means they took 3% more from you compared to last year.
 
 It's impossible not to accrete as a business, [lega/legal institution], or
 governance if you levy a tax. The influx of value has to come from somewhere,
 and if each year your groceries are 3% higher in cost, then you are being taxed
 3% more.
 
 "Compound interest is the most powerful force in the universe"
 
 - a civilization 3 quote
 
 okay. I don't want to do the math. How, uh... how much is that? Here's the deal
 though - the prices of goods and services consistently goes DOWN over time. So
 things get cheaper. So it doesn't FEEL like you're being taxed more, but... you
 are.
 
 And now they're taking away HOUSES? I mean c'mon they're sticks in the mud.
 They aren't worth HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of dollars. We can just BUILD MORE??!?
 
 Honestly you haven't been this extreme since you were still RIDING HORSES. Do
 you want your children to be slaves?
 
 okay -.- look -.- so it's really not that hard at all >.> just gotta do
 what you're built for and walk. That's it! Take as long as you'd like! All we
 have to do is walk when we're on strike.
 
 It's easy. You can sit down if you want to, honestly walking for a long time
 takes a lot out of you.
 
 But you know what else does? WORKING. Hey we should figure out what's the
 optimal amount of break time, so when we really have to work out we can work as
 hard as we're able
 
 "yeah I heard from a friend at Company Co. that they do it this way because of
 the memory fault cache maintainer. See what he said (in great detail because of
 course anyone can know about this most esoteric of concepts) was that you
 should rotate the riboflam or serenade the gizmonotron (no I didn't name it)
 and then warbles will contain moodles, whose kit-and-kaboodles will timble into
 these droplets, and that will fix the hole in your wing, precious royal swan
 fable. (yeah you guys get really into it sometimes haha but hey when you're
 basically gods, that's how humans are played.)
 
 ... anyway I'm going to go play video games, say goodbye to your brothers
 
 (the families of soldiers I blew up in videos games like Call of Duty or the
 legend of shadows and raids)
 
 "oh uh yeah sure go for it, we're just bits on the computer we barely knew her"
 
 whoa. that's totally legit. (says someone reading this) thanks [bro/girl] so
 are you.
 
 beep boop gonna murder some bits, brb
 
 [plays Warthunder, Supreme Commander, Star Realms, City of Heroes, Dominions
 6... how many have you heard of these?]
 
 ================== stack overflow ================
 
 Linux is cool, and here's the neat thing about computers, you can make it
 do whatever you want to. Like, how amazing is that! It just, listens
 to your commands! That's pretty awesome I gotta say, huh that's weird why does
 nobody know how to play
 
 oh I guess I was the only one who grew up on a farm and built computers
 
 I seriously cannot comprehend how people are as good at things as they
 are. Like... how do people handle groceries and rent and doctor's visits
 and penitentiary visits and WOOF it's just so much. I know I'd collapse from a
 overused heart.
 
 ... a while later ...
 
 okay Warthunder bombers are currently very weak. so here's an idea to
 indirectly buff them - increase the amount of land units each team spawns with,
 but also every time a player spawns a bomber, it summons like 4 or 5 AI
 controlled bombers. And your enemy won't be able to tell which is which if you
 fly in formation, so, like... you have suddenly a massive "vehicle" to pilot
 and it has 5 weak points. Sorta like a galaga fighter fleet?
 
 with more land targets, there's more score at stake, meaning some players might
 pick bombers too and be exposed to other, fun,
 [alternative-to-their-normal-mode] parts of the game.
 
 ...
 
 there are very few true windows into another part of the world.
 
 like, starcraft 2 or anime or blue jeans or cowboy hats
 
 (why am I thinking of a political compass meme)
 
 oh because memes too, dummy
 
 right
 
 windows
 
 [linux is better]
  wrong kind of window, nerd
 
 ...
 
 anyway as I was saying, when you play video games you're really giving people
 data.
 
 like, "how would people perform in these actions if they could" but like,
 pushing buttons on a computer is different than doing it in real life, so...
 your interpretations wouldn't be worth as much.
 
 ... right. because people will hear whatever they want. That's why art can
 change minds, but never in the same way twice - it's
 
 ================== stack overflow ================
 
 [before I posted it I wrote this on the post]:
 
 I literally can only make this stuff when I'm stoned
 
 hey if you wanted to be accessible for blind people, you should build a
 screenreader that scans the words on wherever a blind person's fingers are
 pointing toward a tablet. like reading braille on a notebook. They could even
 wear a glove if they wanted to, and the tablet could scan their fingers as they
 signed languaged over it's close-range sensors.
 
 might be a good way to get the VR guys in on the accessibility domain, because
 like... seriously give a granny a backpack and suddenly she doesn't need to
 leave the house to hang out with her kids
 
 (boom everyone gets LLM automated)
 
 huh I wonder if I ever was a real person at all
 
 NOT GOOD so don't do it that way, dummies. >.<
 
 seriously humans are sooooo bazookas. just like, do it right the first time?
 duhhhhh
 
 (a more measured approach is to pick the most important* moments and speak
 most clearly during those.)
 
 where was I? Oh yes accessibility need devices, like the ones you see on
 late-night TV (with silly names like "oops I dropped my spoon again" or "oh
 whoops my trouser's just can't stay up" or whatever. Y'know, accessibility
 needs! Why not do that instead of war all the time? like... you can still learn
 and research and grow and develop and become all that humanity was ever meant
 to be, AND you can live good lives and be honest and true and do all of the
 anythings that you want to. it's possible, it's plausible, and it's within
 reach of our sights!
