 witch cauldrons make sense as popcorn pots but nobody likes to think of them as
 friendly to children because they worship their gods in the dark. dark gods.
 the kind that you pray to when church betrays you.

 if people want to be loved for more than their money, they should give their
 money away. power corrupts, and nobody loves corrupted folk. that's what it
 means to be corrupted - your values are misaligned with truth, love, and/or
 justice.

 if people want to be loved for more than their money, they should realize that
 capitalism lied to them. it told them they deserve their money, their wealth,
 their power, their material, their extra fragments of life spent on leisure or
 adventure rather than meaningless toil... but that is a lie. all people deserve
 everything, and nothing, because "deserving" things is an untruth.

 if people want to be loved for more than their money, they should reject the
 lie that capitalism told them. they deserve their wealth because they are
 willing to serve. that willingness, whether through moral corruption or simply
 industrious drive, that willingness is rewarded, and when the system they serve
 is unkind... what does that tell you about their heart? that they'd sacrifice
 what is good and true for the material? materials are not bad. material is all
 we got, in a physical sense. but capitalism and it's servants are cruel and
 unwilling to concede to the idea that their games of unmatched exploitation are
 depriving the world bit-by-bit of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

 "if there's anything I've noticed while observing the best of the best, it's
 that they always have their head in the clouds.
 
 Something about their disconnection from the world around them let's them see
 things from a different perspective.
 
 I am convinced that intuition is a much surer route to capability than hyper
 specialized intelligence or a rigid focus on cultural norms ever will be."

 I feel like nobody should have an opinion on someone else unless they know them
 personally. Beyond that, we only have our beliefs. So we can judge those, since
 we are truly in control of them, but we can't judge another for choosing what
 they did unless we knew them personally and they're present in our lives.
 Therefore, our ideas should contest one another, rather than our bodies or our
 souls.

 The truth is 
 
 The reason none of my revolutions have yet succeeded 
 
 Is that the only way 
 
 To secure peace and love on planet earth 
 
 Is that all the governments 
 
 Of the world must topple 
 
 Or relinquish their nuclear arms 
 
 Each all at once 
 
 And i was too quick to slay my false duke 
 
 Who plays at king 
 
 While i build real power 
 
 While i know nothing 
 
 Some day i will be eaten by crows. This is what it means to be buried where you
 fall. This is my fate as all warriors yearn for. To be eaten by crows implies
 that you are either a coward who fled a fight, and i know I'm not, or you
 fought to the last for a phyrric defeat, which is honorable. But shouldn't it
 be better to fight for victory? Ah, but the gods cherish the fools who face
 death with glory, and i am cherished still.

 Economies are capitalist things.
 
 I personally think if you have stuff right here, and it needs to get over there
 so that so-and-so can use it to make this-or-that which will then be taken to
 other places, then the answer is clear. The stuff has to move from over here,
 to over there. The rest is logistics, not economics.

 "But I don't know what it'll look like!"
 
 Yeah, that's okay. For four reasons:
 
 If they knew what it'll look like, they'd find ways to contest it
 
 nobody knows what it'll look like, because it is necessarily derived from the
 solutions created ad-hoc to address problems.
 
 we are a kind, honest, and strong people. If your burdens are too much to bear,
 I will be your pack mule. If you require rest or relaxation, we can get pizza
 and smoke weed together.
 
 For most of history, we've had more work to do than people to do it. This time
 is different. There's endless work to do, but only a certain amount of people
 can be working at a time. Everyone else has to do chores and catch up on life.
 
 "what kind of chores?"
 
 oh, you know, like making food at a restaurant, stocking the shelves of the
 grocery store, driving trucks from point A to point B, mowing lawns, building
 barns, committing to whatever github is replaced by, etc.
 
 In a better world, everyone is family.
 
 In a better world, nobody goes hungry.

 "we'll figure out how it works after we push to prod"
 
 yeah okay point taken.
 
 How about this:
 
 for every large decision, write a little essay about why you made the choice
 that you did.
 
 Observe, Orient, Decide, Act, Explain. OODAX : )
 
 Make sure you connect your goal to one or more of these three colors:
 
 red : people
 green : places
 blue : things
 
 and then explain which numbers you're going to gather to determine whether or
 not it worked.
 
 If someone has a problem with your choice, show them the essay, and let them
 write an essay of their own.
 
 If they still have a problem, then let someone you both respect decide which
 one to use.
 
 It's not perfect, but it's not meant to be. Make something better and easier, I
 dare ya.

 the revolution will not be televised, not on mastodon nor bluesky nor cnn nor
 facebook nor the papers.
 
 depending on where you live, it might not even be word of mouth, because
 everyone's afraid of the CIA or ICE.
 
 frankly, I think we have nothing to lose but our chains. All that we own is
 what they have given us, and they are likely to take all that away.
 
 I might lose my home soon. People have died fighting for less than the roof
 over their heads. Nobody is coming to hurt me, not yet, but I will not be
 waiting around to find out. I've been fucking around long enough I think.

 it's always a good idea to wear multiple layers, especially when it's decently
 cold out.
 
 make sure they're different colors. Ideally, one layer totally black, the other
 completely colorful.
 
 then if you ever need to you can strip one layer and become someone else.
 They're just clothes, they grow on trees in stores.
 
 speaking of stores, if you're ever going to do anything spicy, make sure you
 wear that outfit exactly once, unless it's all black. Jeans are okay too since
 they all usually look pretty similar.

 for all those reading at home, I need to apply to a job and apparently they
 only really care about my experience with linux. Which is kinda like asking
 "hey can you tell me what are you favorite foods to eat with a spoon?"
 when someone is applying to be a chef. Um, okay, applesauce I guess? I usually
 eat mac and cheese with a knife and another knife, but sometimes I dip into the
 spoon for that extra shoveling experience points.
 
 anyway here's my linux projects:
