Surely, someone's gonna drive by with a dash-web-cam, and they can take a picture as they pass by. Boom, dated for this time and place, there's your space. downside is, if the people watching you see you on the same path all day, they might watch you too. So sometimes in roughly optimized ratios it's better to do so even if you don't need to be seen in a time and place in a way that seems commonplace. walk to work? great, that sounds fun. (nobody wants to do that) (also falsifying alibis is a crime) okay, so... don't do that. Just... trust that SOMEONE will drive past with a dash-web-cam, and maybe it'll find it's way to you if you ever need it in a court of law or otherwise. lots of ways to have a court. you know if your peers hang out in your court, they become your courtiers... ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5161 ╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────┐ ║ it's not about what we can do now, for each other, when we're powerless and out │ ║ of arms. │ ║ │ ║ instead, think about how great we could be together, if our material problems │ ║ were suddenly made vanished. │ ║ │ ║ I WOULD HELP SO MANY PEOPLE.

In fact that's typically the only kind that they make. The issue is they are often prevented from making those decisions, at all, so they lose chances to control their own life. have you ever asked for extra beverages? how about putting more salsa on your [rope, but pronounced like burrito]? it's okay to ask for things. it's okay to say what you need. if everyone just wants you to be comfortable, then say what it is that you [need, but pronounced in a way that rhymes but doesn't rhyme the same word twice] in Doctor Strangelove there's a scene when the soviet premier shows up at the situation room or whatever - the one with the big board - and he is very clear about what he needs. anyway I think about that scene a lot as a good example of what "asking for what you need" can mean. like. it doesn't hurt the cashier every time you buy groceries. The kid I mean teen I mean employee making your subway sandwiches doesn't pay for the bread and cheese. So speak of needs ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5165 ╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────┐ ║ if the settlers of catan could claim land they don't deserve, then I claim my │ ║ home │ ║ │ ║ can you imagine... some people would actually rather live in a corporation than │ ║ a mobile home. maybe we can do better? │ ║ │ ║ "hey we're going to ask for a % of your wage in rent and in return we'll │ ║ deliver groceries to you and grow roses instead of lawns (except for some to │ ║ run and play in) and also we'll show up if you need a hand with anything" │ ║ │ ║ "also this apartment block was renovated after all the liberals moved out │ ║ because we made it totally trash to live here and now that they're gone we can │ ║ make it nice again" │ ║ │ ║ what if we had punk-house-streets instead of punk-houses which are islands and │ ║ which slowly drown │ ║ │ ║ just... pool resources and buy things one-at-a-time.
