Like this: "if you've only done something once, plan to mess it up. Practice makes perfect, and only perfect practice leads to perfection. But nobody's perfect, so just practice with good form and take it seriously while having fun and be relaxed. Make it normal. Make it casual, but don't forget to be professional! If you have lives in the balance, know what you're doing." And like, would that have been a better end to the story if i had left it unsaid? Maybe, who can say! But I'm not one for silence. I don't mind ruining the finale of my documents a bit if it means i can say things like: "diapers aren't something you can get addicted to in this game, they're part of the fun sometimes but sex is between two bodies." Or like: "ramen noodles love vegetables! This is why they put veggies in the bowl when getting ramen at a restaurant. When you buy from a shop they put dehydrated veggies in too which is nice of them. I love those little bits of soup!" Or like: "i don't especially care what they did or are doing in Cuba or china or Russia or any other Communist place. It's useful to know what things work and what doesn't, but that insight comes from experimentation and not study. The learnings of methods applied to a population are inherently related to that population. If you switch peoples, you might find that different methods work better for organizing people." I mean it's useful to know which levers you can pull and what they tend to do, but... Where was I? Oh sorry, got swept up in the narrative. As i was saying, it's important to balance thought with action. Leave too much to chance and your words are useless. Spend all your time volunteering and nothing changes. "hmmm i see, makes sense, imma go play video games now." Wait no just...! Ah nuts. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧═──────────┘ -> file: messages/1048 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────── What does "fiscal conservative" even mean? It means you want to save money. Specifically government money. Tax dollars. Don't spend them, instead try and build wealth. Okay, but, government spending is spent to address needs. Of the people. Ideally, of ALL people with that need. So if you aren't spending to resolve needs, the need still remains. When needs exist, and government does not resolve them, who steps in but private enterprise? Charity is a feeling, charity is a virtue, but charity is not resolution. The need remains, we just feel better about it. Sometimes it's okay to have open needs, they give us the opportunity to feel virtuous in the same way that low level monsters let adventurers level up. But when a government could, but doesn't, address a need, then private enterprise steps in. And private enterprise does not, as a rule, step in if there is no profit to be made. So they tune their approach such that profit is extracted, thus levying their tax upon those they serve. As soon as they are able, they cut the service down and they supply a worse and worse product and they starve their workers and they export our wealth to be used to enslave the afar and import their toil. What do we get from it? Is the world better for it? Why not just resolve the need by empowering those who can feed, and thus we are assured [in our needless / in our need] ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧═──────────┘ -> file: notes/dear-me ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────── dear me: DO SOMETHING USEFUL FOR ONCE that's all, fuck off and be helpful ... wow, rude. yeah I mean, I do helpful things. useful things, somethings. helpful. useful. many such cases, she says, with ultimate certainty, as if narrative could be prologued. but pronounced prolonged. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧═──────────┘ -> file: fediverse/6173 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────── "hey does anyone wanna join my band? we don't make music. we just thrash around a bit for like half an hour and have our tech nerd split it up into an album. the rest of the time we hang out and do band things" ha wow cool guys yeah I uh, I'm busy doing... stuff. like, I dunno, taxes and grocery hunting.

Agility is rapid accuracy. both are good. you can practice both with balance. I like to walk along the curb on sidewalks. I like to place one foot directly in front of the other when walking. I like to pick up my feet when I dance. You can practice dexterity by slowly moving through a space on tip-toe with as few steps as possible. Also by doing precise movements with your hands, such as calligraphy, sewing, or soldering. You can practice agility by hopping across riverstones. Also by doing martial arts or sports that demand reactivity like dodgeball, basketball, or tennis. Also by practicing complicated handshakes with a friend - patty cake is a good way to get started. Also by dancing improvisationally. The more time you spend in motion, the less noise you make when moving around, the more you feel like a cat, the better. Dexterity is a panther. Agility is a jaguar. Strength is a cheetah. Power is a lion. Wisdom is a housecat in a sunbeam. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╧═──────────┘ -> file: fediverse/6227 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────── Nutrition is just as important to growth as motion.
