 I'd rather riot over the fact that Trump is on the ballot
 
 than riot over the fact that he won
 
 He's a felon
 
 He's a rapist
 
 He's an accomplice to mass murder
 
 Democracy only works when the losers in an election consent to be governed by
 the will of the people
 
 He did not consent, and his followers did not consent.
 
 They are enemies of democracy.
 
 They are fascists, for many reasons besides.
 
 They seek to be the end of us,
 
 And I see no foe on this earth more deserving of our wrath.

 I wish I could like... ride my bike somewhere for an hour or two, consult for
 a bit, then ride home (or to the next place)
 
 that'd be a fun way to apply myself, and it'd give me the chance to have some
 space for myself. as long as I had time to rest, I'm usually only good for
 half of a day.
 
 unless it's a project with a lot of tasks that need coordination, like
 building a house or working through a short-term urgent disaster.

 War is hell - each casualty bids farewell to a wholely unique treasure from
 this world - war is hell - there is nothing that cannot be resolved with
 words. And yet we fight, and yet we pillage. War is hell, and those who demand
 it must do so only to resist evil, elemental evil, the kind that wars on the
 innocent and pillages the bounteous. War is hell. Fucking kill the ones who
 make it.

 to understand something, work backward from present understandings back to the
 fundamentals of algebra. insert words. wield LLM. build a neuronal structure
 many layers wide. let them coprocess bit-by-bit as they are adding new
 processors to be "learning" new domain specific memory
 context-processing-thingy.
 
 "over here's the memory cells, over here are the conceptual structure"
 suddenly, organified. not ideal.
 
 much better, I feel, is for a disambiguous association of processor selves,
 each contextualizing a cache in a ram. ['s horn]

 last month I dropped my wallet in Hel and had to ask around to find a new one.
 anyway here's some poems I wrote tonight while I try and remember my credit
 card number.
the new section as we will be including new artists work. see below:  BUY MEAT  [picture of two guys holding meat]  capitalism's greatest efficiency was always it's ability to convert time and energy into dollars. there are no other ends, but quite a variety of means.  everything from grupon to uber to fandango to multi-level marketing. none of it produces value - value is simply transcribed into another form at the cost of somebody's labor = time x energy  they make it so easy to write about capitalism. "But what comes next?"  wavers the cowed masses as they huddle around their pocket TV's and shudder at the thought of a stranger's gaze.  I simply do not care, so long as the needs of the people are met and we can once again rejoice in our shared solidarity.  "What if it's worse?"  worse than what? Trump?  EAT SHIT.  [next page]  the empire treasures her city states and leaves them to be uninterrupted. Their jeweled culture is a treasure to share and covet, grown to develop and [trade and improve].  a people cherishes their queer people - they show them new ways to be. Just as an artist shares new feelings and a writer shares new thoughts, queers will culturally lead. You don't have to follow.  radicals too shine headlights for economics and governance. queers when pobular society  [bluh]  [bluh -> meow! (tumor)]  [oooooooowah bluh]  [REVENGE]  [next page]  I miss cannabis  I missing making [out/art]  I miss the things that give me joy  I miss the things I've given up, and all the things I once had known  I know these things are available, but I'm "too focused"  I sleep so much. I feel a shadow of myself. This is [to/the] only way I speak truth.  I miss feeling truthful.  what if I went wrong forever  I miss my newfound spirits, and all of my newfound humors.  someday I'll re-imagine but only for all of your years.  I yearn to dream  [next page]  what would you think of the end of the world? would you long for a future protected? what devices would you use, improve, or otherwise make more respected? would you do it if just your [world/word] was at stake?  people die every day. what are you gonna do about it?  what makes you think "my way or your way" is worse than [buying/bringing] shit in a store?

12. the text continues from the previous page and reads "if it's been ten or more years since they moved in, the site gets rebuilt. [wait, hang on, weren't we talking about html websites? when did houses come into the discussion?]  ... wait, what was I saying? Oh yeah the text is on a gray background, as interrupting as a scythe, with a yellow backdrop as if to represent sheer white-hot flame except not white the color of all colors but fire the color of all flames. the text reads "prince of the nehalim" in bright pinking blue, as in something completely foreign and unknown to you, and continues on to read in red "so many opportunities" as if life hadn't absconded, but instead of severed instead. "parabolas persist" in the flavor of blue, the color of space in a non-light polluted view.  "live life like you're merry, as do but a few."  do you want to make people feel better? or do you just want to make them confused? Neither, really, I'm trying to tell the truth. I'm seriously just struggling to find a way to express things that others clearly seem to be forgetting - I'm not an expert in other stuff! This is literally all I'm good at! Is it valuable? Maybe not to you, but I think it could be useful, or else I would covet it and leave it in disuse.  it's time is relevant, it's words fit into a context, so if you misunderstand it's past then it's probably because you don't have the records or the ability to process them of the time in which it was posted. What if things were de 10 ten. blue text on a blue background, as a calming and soothing influence, saying "it's okay, don't freak out, just think about learning lessons about stuff that *could* go wrong and think about how you'd counter it. just like any video game, there's a strategy to defeat any other strategy. the careful application of said strategy while using or applying your own capabilities is directly correlated to the conclusions of the task." meanwhile the listener is like "what the fuck" wait shit hang on lemme add a content warning:  right so the text reads "if you want your neighbors to know something, don't post it on the internet - put it on a post-it on the wall in a public place" like, your front door, or maybe the entrance to your building, or the parking garage near the mall, or maybe the grocery store, on a product behind the one in front. that kind of thing.  depending on who you want to see it, of course... people used to do this with library books but stopped because it's quite obviously a bad and rude thing to do, books are for record keeping of the status of humanity, through each and every one of it's forms. It's weird that they all have the same stuff, because they're designed for capitalism right? Why not share them based on availability, and keep as many different types of things as possible?  when nobody cares for them, how will we remember the countless books nobody reads? How will we understand that step in developing our culture if we don't have access to the con 9. the text begins to diverge at this point, on the left it reads "it's easy if you want some privacy, - all you have to do" and then is cut off by the introduction of red text on a green background, to evoke similar colors as the original thing it was interrupting but it's own thing nonetheless, and existing off to the side in tandem, so that conditions could not remain unaddressed. the text reads "they were betting on selling us space flight [with spaceflight sliding from one side to the other, like a rocket escaping the gravitic pull of the planet it surrounded] but we cared more for food and water" the second part, after spaceflight about food and water, is intruding onto the yellow's background, which was next, to represent a continuation of the previous thought about websites and HTML. it's frustrating for the next text, which is in purple, a confused and disoriented color. it continues from the original thought "is delete the website! Boom, no more html. but if they were listed (neocities sites on a map of the region" but map is emphasized with a different color, green the color of the land, and "region" is pronounced like "realm" or perhaps "ground" or even "directions" or "land beyond the horizon (if it even exists)") 11. I think. orange text on a green blue background, same background as the previous three pictures. orange text which contrasts in a way that almost calls back to the 80s, but not quite. a little too dirty, like the blue and orange decorations around highways in New Mexico. car smoke and tire dust'll do that, and it's not like it's easy to clean - right next to the freeway, c'mon! Wouldn't it be nice if we shut it down for a day or two? Unless you had very important business, solely self-suggested. if too many people used it on those days (when they were cleaning it) then they're supposed to follow through and identify if their need was too great or if they were just being an asshole about it because their bosses forced them to. basically like, family emergencies gets a lane, things that are crucial to a social event like no beer at a frat party or whatever, heck even if the girl you like really wanted to get laid. whatever the heck it is, if you deem it an emergency then that's fine. you can drive while the highway is being cleaned. just make sure you don't slip on the suds...  ... a while later, humanity realized they could just close one direction at a time and clean the next one next time.  what was I saying? Oh yeah the text! Here's what it reads: "every year, replace five percent [but read as %] of the homes and boom you're good - maybe even do 10% if things are going well - either way, as time goes on people can live in a house as long as they want - but when they mov

 I don't understand why modern software isn't error correcting. We shouldn't
 have any bugs in this day and age.
 
 For example, if you're missing a dependency then why doesn't your program try
 to, I dunno, download that dependency to the program's installation directory
 and use it there? Seriously there are very few problems that are unsolvable!

  It's why limiting your exposure to wrong and harmful points of view is healthy. It's enough to confront an idea and understand why it's wrong without immersing yourself in it.

  Right-wingers and their liberal allies want you debating this garbage constantly because they know that has a cognitive and social normalizing effect. It's why refusing to engage and deplatforming them works best.

 I'm 29, and I had Pokemon Silver growing up. However I bought it used, and the
 battery was worn out or something because it wouldn't save! But still I played
 that single game for months on my gameboy color, trying to see how far I could
 get. I had a level 40+ Totodile (or was it Crocanaw? I forget) and
 unfortunately one day I took it on a 30 minute car ride, expecting the battery
 to last at least 30 minutes, but unbeknownst to my child self there was
 construction on the way, which turned it into a 4+ hour drive. I couldn't
 believe it! The battery died, and I lost my save file... I was heartbroken. T.T
 
 Next time I played, I learned a lot. I actually read some of the dialogue
 text, and learned you could use pokeballs to capture pokemon
 
 I was so dumb I was using a single character to get through the game. What a
 n00b.
 
 Anyway when my mom heard about my tribulations she bought me Pokemon Gold,
 which I played quite a bit less. I was focused on other things you see, like
 Dragon Warrior Three. Alas.
