Cooking with a recipe? That thing that I'm definitely going to forget? Whatever

Protests are not the battleground, they are the stage. The gym. The pride
parade.
Some people should not go to protests. In card games, it's often best to save
your best cards for last, when your opponents can least resist. Or at least,
save them for when they are most crucial.
I read recently about how Russian spec-ops forces (the truly best of the best)
have been absolutely devastated because they keep sending them to the frontline
to die for inches of breadth.
I'm not spec ops, but I don't go to protests for a different reason.
Mostly because nobody thought to invite me xD xD lol so silly

Alas, it seems that "value" isn't their most treasured of goals after all.
Perhaps you might say that control is what they seek, not beneficial impacts
for humanity.

Without community, *of course* you're going to be afraid. *of

and return from a position of strength.
With fellows beside you, nothing can stand before you.

One of those is a symbolic manipulation, the other is arithmetical. And
symbolic manipulations are limited only by the symbols you use to express them,
while arithmetic is grounded in logic.

Right, but, the next song will take 3 hours, then perhaps just one, and soon
you'll be sight reading. : )
Right now, the goal is not to play Zelda songs. You can't read music, remember?
Your goal is to learn to read music! And that'll happen when you're done. Then,
you can play Zelda. Then, you can play whatever you want! Keep at it, if you
don't grind mobs in Ashenvale you'll never explore the Molten Core.

Recipe for a good bike ride:
Go until you're tired, then go a bit more. Then, stop for a bite to eat.
Then, go until you're tired, then go a bit more. Then, stop for a beer or maybe
some coffee or tea.
Then, go until you're tired, then go a bit more. Then, stop under a tree and
read for a bit.
Then, go until you're tired, then go a bit more. Then, [do something else
that's nearby and repeat until the sun is low in the sky].
I learned this from my father.

But I'll see what I can do. Perhaps resting in a park someone who wants to know
me with my salmon colored bike and my blue helmet will chance upon me and we
might get a chance to chat.

On my bike ride today, I found myself drifting toward a playful slant.
Everything felt warm and comfortable, and the sun shining through the leaves
made me smile.
I met a lot of cool people, but I didn't meet any friends.
I passed by a guy being hassled, but I didn't stop to help - how could I?
Now that I'm back at my computer I'm pissed again.
Homeless, vagrant, and migrant people are minorities too.
From the faces I passed you'd never guess that a class of identity had just
been made criminal.
Or maybe I was on the wrong side of the river. I rode for five hours but never
did I cross, because I figured all the important parts of a city are near the
tallest buildings.
Now I'm going to play Magic the Gathering against myself for a while.

I made some cool things yesterday, including some Magic the Gathering decks
which I'd love to try out against someone someday. Playing against the AI is
kinda boring because it always makes the same mistakes haha
anyway here's the card-lists, and some things that I wrote while I was
distracted
I always try and keep my decks under 40$ - the decks I have IRL had a limit of
30$, but that was back before 30$

if you know me you'll know me, though.
if you don't, well I'll tell you my name if you ask.
It won't be the one you see up above me,
