 "they" want us to contest a powerful foe and emerge victorious, to instill a     │
 sense of strength and righteous dignity within us.                               │
 "we" want to win with the minimal amount of casualties necessary.                │
 these two demands are not contradictory, but they pull our trajectory in         │
 different directions.                                                            │
 I truly believe that we the people could oust our political foes with little     │
 opposition - little more than a minor civil war which lasted long enough to      │
 show our foes how badly they are outmatched.                                     │
 maybe that comes as a surprise to you, ye who are unarmed, but it does not to    │
 me, for I have faith in our institutions and values.                             │
 If Trump espoused the ideals of his party, specifically the ideal of efficiency  │

 For this reason I swear to contest the fascists in control.                      │

 i gotchu
picture of a text editor with some LLM produced ASCII art pasted in, to get around the fact that Mastodon doesn't quite handle monospaced text very well.  the text reads "COUE CAT" with a picture of a triangular... mountain peak? maybe? or perhaps a small body, beak-mouth, loooong legged cat of some kind? who can say. it's indecipherable as a visual, however the LLM seems to be quite proud of it.

 It's funny, I've seen Andor season 1 twice now and the first time was when it
 aired live.
 
 It felt so much more invigorating to my soul the first time. I wondered why,
 and I believe the reason is because it inspired me to go out and be brave as
 fuck. People were terrified, I saw it in their faces. It felt like the scenes
 on coruscant where everyone keeps their head down and looks around warily.
 
 Now, things are fucking great outside. You can go on a walk and see people in
 the park. I love that.
 
 I guess it didn't hit me the same way the second time around because I made
 progress on my "own personal revolution" (nemik to skene) and now the fear
 feels distant.
 
 Season 2 was pretty great. Gonna watch that again soon.

 "my own personal revolution" of course refers to to the internal struggle that   │
 people have against the implicit mental chains that whatever ruling class or     │
 system imposes upon our minds.                                                   │
 Part of the reason that queer people are important for the health of a culture   │
 is that they resist the cultural norms. To queer something, as a verb, is to     │
 fight a momentary revolution against the social chains that bind our actions.    │
 They seek to use culture to force us to behave in a way that produces the        │
 outcomes they desire. 2.5 kids, white picket fence, hard working and very, very  │
 christian, at least if you live in 1950s America... it changes based on the      │
 environment.                                                                     │
 The "personal revolution" I fought last summer, that liberated my sense of       │
 fear, is an ongoing struggle that countless others also wage. The "personal"     │
 aspect is the most frustrating - our struggles are all so individualized, for    │
 we live in an individualist society, that it's hard to help each other.          │
 Yet still we try.                                                                │

 I never rest. Not mentally. I find it sooooo much harder to get moving again
 once I'm asleep.
 
 But I've been sleeping lately, because it's "good for me" or whatever. Because
 I'm "burnt out and need to heal" or something.
 
 Damnit why is it so much harder to stop snuggling someone than it is to pack up
 a tent?
 
 I'm like the guy in Hot Fuzz, that one really good movie about cops. oops cops
 mentioned one second.
 
 I'm always moving, but, I hardly ever seem to be able to get anything done. Why
 is that? Is the work just... endless? Am I ever a slave to my surroundings? Or
 am I just cursed with a mortal form, a form destined to toil in whatever way it
 finds itself contextualized in?
 
 Maybe I should just stop complaining. Maybe work is it's own reward or
 whatever. I don't think I'm depressed anymore, although good luck getting me to
 feel any emotions except focus, and the call to intercede on another's behalf.
 
 I don't have time for this. >.

 casus belli if you didn't know is latin I think and it means "the reason for
 waging war" or put another way, some formal reason presented to a state,
 nation, or leader that says "hey this is why we're gonna come and kill you"
look, I know that nobody reading this has the power to affect this, but like... the forced cessation of genocide is one of the only ethical casus belli I can think of.

 why is it cumbersome literally just, let me download the source-code repository

 "you mean like, package manager hooks into a website?"
 
 yes, but, instead of implemented one-by-one, it should use a protocol so each
 package manager only has to implement the downloading scheme once and it'd be
 able to read from any locations that output the correct API calls or whatever.
 
 the developer could even do it themselves. such is the joy of open-source

 all revolutions have a cost.
 
 for example, in Andor Season 2 there is a character named Syril Karn. He's part
 of the first Imperial generation of children (human, at least, some species
 probably grow fast?)
 
 this first generation reflects the good and the bad that the empire could be.
 There are aspects of good AND bad in Syril.
 
 For example, his rigid adherence to truth, justice, and all the other things he
 holds dear are POTENTIAL good things that the Empire could have instilled
 within it's culture. Unfortunately, this spirit is lost when he suffers a head
 injury and dies as part of the Ghorman massacre.
 
 Dedra Meero has some good qualities as well, such as her unflinching resolve
 and unwavering dedication to pursuing her charge. She's a hunter. Cats aren't
 evil just because they are ambush predators, and neither is she.
 
 However, she IS evil because of all the evil things she does.
 
 Her character isn't evil, her actions are.
 
 She too is spiritually lost as a sacrifice to the Empire.

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────
 Algorism is a system designed to work for any level of organization. It scales.
 It accomplishes this by abstracting individual needs into communal needs at a
 certain level of size or complexity, and in doing so it enables people to take
 responsibility both for their individual lives, but also the lives of the world
 around them. This increased level of "stake" that people "hold" in their lives
 will encourage them to develop their surroundings in a healthier way, thus
 leading to a safer, saner, and more productive society for all.
 
 How is this accomplished? There are many aspects to Algorism, and this note is
 an examination of one particular facet - specifically, the requisition system
 which delivers goods and services to entities larger than a single individual.
 
 It may be best illustrated with an example. Consider a neighborhood - or, even
 simpler, a suburban street, lined with houses. There may be 20-50 families on
 that street, depending on it's length, so let's say there's around 30. These
 families hold a common cause together - they all want their surroundings to be
 generally pretty nice, clean, and decent. They may share many other things
 besides, but these are things that most people can agree on.
 
 These 30 families need supplies and infrastructure in order to have a good life
 lived in their small little "town". Some common ideas for unification activities
 include knocking down the backyard fences and letting them relish the shared
 safe space for children, gardens, and nature. This is an example of a cultural
 method for building a "good life" for them, however they need to have some sort
 of "economic" method of good-life-building as well. The reason I say this is
 because no matter what level of complexity you reach, there are always economics
 involved, for an individual distributing blood cells to each of it's fingertips
 all the way up to families sharing the food on the serving plate at dinner. Go
 up higher and you have perhaps neighborhoods sharing commonly used tools or
 resources, then cities and states and countries sharing people, talents, and
 brotherhood.
 
 Economics are a symptom of systems, not power. Power is coercive, it compels
 others to obey thine will or else face retribution, but systems do not require
 power in order to function. A system could be as simple as "you scratch my back
 I scratch yours", which is a simple way that our ancestors learned about basic
 cooperation. Systems can scale of course, and they need not be comprised solely
 of verbal, mental, or legal agreements - computer systems, economic systems,
 spiritual systems, systems of math or physics, all of these things are based on
 the philosophical discipline known as "logic". Logic is fallible of course, it
 is certainly possible to create systems of logic which are completely unsound
 or invalid and which fall apart upon being used for the first time. However,
 when considered with a scrutinous eye for detail, and referenced to the results
 of the real world and it's endless permutations, logic can be an excellent tool
 for developing organization and structure. Both of which are invaluable for all
 humans when they seek to cooperate or coordinate.
 
 If thirty people who lived near each other wanted to cooperate or coordinate on
 the goal of "building a good life", they might reach for a logical method of
 developing their surroundings toward how they feel is most suited to their needs
 and demands. In order to do so, they'll need supply and infrastructure. The
 question of acquiring such supply and infrastructure is ultimately up to them,
 but the Algorist way of doing so is to utilize the queue system.
 
 This system is related to queues as typically understood only in name and in
 technicality, for the additional structures built on-top of the queues are more
 than sufficient to differentiate it. When you, dear reader, hear the idea that
 you'd have to wait in line in order to get your food at the cafeteria, you may
 shudder and think about how you'd prefer anything else. After all, that's how
 they did it in the Soviet Union, and there are plenty of horror stories about
 how it took 10 years to buy a car, or how the factories were graded based on
 weight so they'd sneak lead into all their lamps or whatever in order to seem
 like they were doing well. They gamed the system, in a word.
 
 However, America in 2025 is not as simple as the USSR in the mid-1900s. We have
 computers now. We do not need to coordinate using paper and pencil. This enables
 us to create things like web-UIs for Amazon, a world-wide distribution network,
 or to build SQL databases full of every record we could imagine and store it on
 a computer the size of a brick. There is no end to the power that computers may
 bring to us, but with great power comes great responsibility, and the pragmatic
 programmer will work tirelessly to reduce complexity of scale.
 
 A queue is a system where the entities who are to be served, delivered, or
 otherwise operated on are placed in line, and those which are placed first are
 focused on with priority over those that entered the queue later. There are
 many types of queues but this is the one we will use for this note. Using this
 basic definition, we can see that there are many opportunities to implement
 additional mechanics

 Sometimes people convince themselves that they are a just and honest person,
 when they actually aren't.
 
 Usually how this works is that they live their life as normal, and when their
 desires conflict with another persons, they'll relent and agree with the other
 person without voicing their concerns.
 
 Then, when it's time for the other 50% of the time when they get what THEY
 want, they become stubborn and willful and resentful if they are contested.
 
 It's always a struggle. It's always a battle. Why can't we just all get along?

 the reason to know sign language is that you can communicate without making
 listeners aware.
 
 double-band communication is useful for all sorts of mediums, just make sure
 you erase every track of pencil tracks.
 
 every bit of intelligence matters, but if you force them to double their
 requirements, it makes it un-trivially harder to counterinvestimanage.
 
 [what are you talking about "THE" reason, the reason is to talk to deaf people,
 dummy!]
 
 (no dumb people are the ones who can't talk) (edit: and clearly I'm speaking,
 which means I gotta be smart, don't I?)
 
 [that's actually really rude, you shouldn't say dumb because of the double
 meaning. It also means "lacking intelligence" which is not necessarily
 correlated to the disability in question. Therefore, the term is a term of hate
 or resentment, and thus should not be used unless you have genuine reason to
 inflict rudeness.]
 
 (there are no genuine reasons.)
 
 (therefore the term is completely impermissable.)

 what do you do with the people who don't want to do that in particular and want
 to try a different sort of socialism?

 they assassinate or defame your leaders. so what do you do? you organize
 without them.
 
 they beat up or frame your strongest, so what do you do? you mobilize without
 them.
 
 they cheat out or steal from your most renowned, so what do you do? you make do
 without them.
 
 they capture or seduce your young, so what do you do? you try to be good to
 them.
 
 they kick and they strangle you whenever you're down, so what do you do? just
 get over them?
 
 you can't play if they don't want you to play. Something tells me the board is
 their own.
 
 you don't have to play their games. But games can be won, and if you dare, then
 try.
If god were there to witness, I'd die before I let him to heaven.
