"things are nice" yeah fucking... whatever.  we can't keep shit normal for long. we're down for/from the silence, and time keeps us looking beyond. what happens next? what's "now" in the story? you're far from the last to [devour/use hours]. you think we haven't been fighting this fight since forever?  moloch doesn't win.  who but [yo/you]?  [next page]  I've never had a people. I have always missed them. who cares for the poor?  family cares for child, church for the devoted, the world for, who? fill in the blanks. fuckin' ask chatGPT to make it longer. add text between the words. who are we but the worthy? who else is there? the [words await / world awaits] a dose of luck. my luck makes me. why would I assume that I'd get better at what I'm doing if I stopped doing what I'm doing if I stopped doing what I'm doing if I stopped doing what I'm doing if I stopped doing what I'm stopping what I'm doing because doing what I'm doing stops me doing what I need to be doing.  [next page]  what if we just stopped going to work and didn't leave our houses  what if we just made it happen what if we just made our heaven  a better world is possible. a better world is within reach. for the children of tomorrow, all we need is the meek. where are they? do they sleep or know? If you don't stop traffic, your protest doesn't matter. If you don't ask every window if maybe your ideas could come in. If your parade doesn't knock on every door, asking them to join in. "hey, wanna play? we're playing catch in the road. say, do you know anyone in a different town? wanna knock on the door of all of your kin? it's a better world tomorrow, and everyone can come in."  [next page]  Did you know that nothing's that real if you're not afraid of it? what are they gonna do, shoot you? for what, not moving your shit to the side of the road? you like it where it's at, that's why you put it there, so fuck off if you'd rather it's unprotected. The sun and the rain and the cold and the maned all demand that our stuff is on hallowed ground - the kind which walls all surround. And yet they'd cast us out. How rude. Well, I'm not afraid of you. what are YOU gonna do? what if I didn't pay my rent and never got a job and just helped out wherever I could find a friendly nod.  "oh hey ho've ya been okay what are we working on here?"  don't see nothin? start somethin"  anarchy is fun. bullets less so.  [next page]  most jobs are bullshit. If dollars suddenly didn't exist but people kept doing what they were doing, people would work like twice a week. Me? more or less, who can say, depends on how I did feel that day.  I tend to burn out. what if I didn't go to work for a month? "oh no my stakeholder value" get over yourself. your games do hold value.  act like life is on the line.  (off in the corner)  "... hello?"

the world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.  And our governments are very much the same.

  Dear #LazyGalaxy, we fucked up.   Our planet formed a vast one-time reserve of hydrocarbon deposits due to a quirk of evolution - plants out evolved plant-eating microbes, for a time.   We burned those hydrocarbons and now our climate is busted.  Attached to this message is a technical readout of our nuclear fusion power plant prototypes.  They don’t work.   What are we doing wrong?  
                                                                              
  You can help us by:

infographic displaying what it means for a meal to have "flavor depth"  when cooking, the layers of food closest to the heat source (usually a stove-top) will be warmer than the parts near the top of the pan, which are not only cooled by the air but also are farther from the heat source.  the warmer parts will cook slightly faster than the colder parts, meaning they will taste slightly different because the more you cook food, the more the flavor "develops".  when stirred together, the "more cooked" and "less cooked" particles will combine and the result is a flavor that has "texture" because there is a greater differential between each particle of each ingredient.  You should still stir your food though, because otherwise it will evaporate too much moisture from the bottom and begin to burn.

 Oh hey, thanks for checking in! Yeah I've been a little focused on political
 stuff lately. But I still think about Chapel, so I'm going to come back
 eventually. Once I find a need for distributed computing.
 
 Currently, I have theoretical needs, yeah? but someday soon I hope I'll have
 practical needs, and at that time I'll know where to look.

 I know it's terrible right now, but we have crucial advantages that we
 shouldn't sleep on.
 
 We have the cities, and the cities are where everything is. Rural areas are so
 spread apart they pretty much can only do what herr Hitler suggests they do,
 meaning their command structure is monolithic. If everywhere needs their
 attention, they will falter unless they create a grand battleplan. And plans
 are defeated by rapid flexibility.
 
 The more effort they need to counter you, the more work your allies can get
 done. Every man woman and child who raised a fist will be remembered by the
 moments that gave us grace to move socialism along. We know what time it is,
 do you? Come to us now, flee from your new masters. We'll give you a job
 that'll help us go faster.
 
 Or do you rather persist in vain? To fight for what they are forced to
 reclaim? Every island of blue in the deep red sea is a haven from the
 bloodshed - so long as you can keep them clean.
 
 If people are being a bother and just slowing things down, *fucking shoot
 them." you have my permission. What time is it? Time to fucking go.

the paradox of tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance, NOT as a moral standard, but as a social contract.  If someone does not abide by the terms of the contract, then they are not covered by it.   in other words, the interlont and not following the full rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance.  since they are boreking the terms of the contrract they are no longer covered by the contract, and their intelorance should not ber trolerated.  [next poster]  sorry as someone who teaches the rhetoric this is a wonderful response to the tolerance of paradox. I cannot tell you how many times my students and I have had debates about this. this is the response. this does indeed fix it. I cannot wait to tell this to my classmates.  Philosophically and rhetorically this completely resolved the paradox of tolerance and I am floored by it's simplistic nature and I cant believe my eyes when I never saw it before.
