Golf courses and national park trails should be one and the same. Picture it -
you're walking through a forest and you find a branch in the path. A small
sign with a circle on it represents the ball, and you can ignore it if you'd
like. Choosing to take the path to the game, you curve around a bit, just out
of sight of the main path, and there is your little green.
It's roughly 10ft by 10ft, so pretty darn small. Just enough for you to set up
and look around for your next shot. There'd only be one, or maybe more if
space permits and the trail was especially branchy. But looking through the
foliage you'd find a small hole passing through that illuminated your target
green like a spotlight.
Looking up on a hike you'll typically see the branches of the understory, the
shimmer of light, and the texture of wood. When standing on a small little
green, you'd see that, but with a perfectly circular hole that showed exactly
where you needed to hit the ball to score your point. Well, not exactly
circular because gravity will pull the ball down, meaning you need to see the
entire arc. Unless you're at a vantage point or something and can see straight
down to it.
I believe this would be true justice, where everyone gets what they want.
Golfers can play their game in bright natural spaces, and hikers can exist
undisturbed. Golf courses can be used as farmland, to ensure the city gets
fed. Plus there could be fees for golfers, rather than being paid to a private
resort owned by a billionaire they'd go to the park rangers.
And golf courses as they currently exist could still exist, they'd just be
more like parks for the people with days reserved for golfing. Or maybe they'd
golf over fields of wheat and cabbage, rather than plain old empty grass. I
mean, the infrastructure is already in place for golf, why not use it for more
practical purposes too? Better than burning it down to sate our bloodlust
toward the rich. The goal is to make EVERYONE rich, remember? How can you do
that when the crabs behind you keep pulling you down?
Much better, I think, to design things such that the benefits of the rich are
shared equally, while the responsibility of power rests heavy as a sword of
damocles. That blade is what is missing from our advanced future society, but
I've got a sword and I'm not afraid to swing it.

"trick or treat" doesn't mean "give me a trick or a treat"
that's awfully presumptuous and demanding.
No, it means "give me a treat or I'll trick you" meaning "give me my candy tax
or I'll fuck up your lawn"

camouflage in an urban environment is not camo. rather, regular clothes of
black or white.
don't wear sports glasses, you look like a dummy.
revolution is when they murder everyone but your friends. this is what
happens, ya dingus not ideal. "okay who are the bad guys here? okay let's go
shoot them to death with our bullets and guns."
violence as a first aspect, cause as a third spark. "I have a strange urge to
play video games?"

there's this really fun video game I like to play called "Legion TD 2" - it's
based on a Warcraft3 mod.
In this game, you make tactical and strategic decisions on a fixed term - a
competitive game between 4 or 8 players with an incredible array of randomness.
it teaches you to work with what you got, and to make decisions based on your
opponent's weaknesses. Good luck figuring out what they are, though, as you
can't just memorize them out of a book. You need to adapt, in the moment, to
the decisions of your foes, while primarily focusing your attention on
accomplishing a different task.
I really like it because it's taught me to be strategic in plenty of other
ways. I used to love the game Overwatch because it required adaptibility. The
game was always changing, so no strategy stuck forever, but every match you'd
play against a slightly different opponent.
but then Blizzard changed the game because they wanted to make more money, and
it got worse and worse at what I liked about it. Sadface. : (

Dear Anakin, for as long as you've known him, Obiwan learned just as much from
you as you did from him. His title as "master" was a formality - he didn't get
it because he was better than you, and "padawan" does not mean you are lesser.
There is no hierarchy. He was learning to teach at the same speed that you
learnt to learn. You built each other up, an unstoppable force for good in the
galaxy.
But then an evil wizard stole your heart and twisted your mind. Have no fear,
fear is the path to the dark side. Your mother knows this well, for it is a
common lesson among all people as they age. Fear not, hate not, and feel fury
more than rage. You can bring the universe into a bright golden age, never
forget your purpose and your [potential / duty]

yeah uhhhh the one you helped me setup. The error is just "connection refused"
because it "could not write header for output file" because of incorrect input
parameters, but I don't think I changed anything since we used it a couple
weeks ago. Have you seen any errors like that?

humans are computers that inhale air, produce electricity, and exhale carbon.
give me a biochemical or mechanical process for doing that on a reasonable
scale for cheap and you can solve global warming by replacing power outlets
with an energy generation box. Doubles as an air purifier and UPS.
