 such is the same for all leaders, elected or otherwise.

 some more of the same.
Setting a bunch of values for a "player" and a "creature" object. Mostly things like location, and values related to their movement around the map (such as wander radius, or attack distance, that kind of thing) Starts out by initializing x, y, z, and o (for orientation) variables using a "player, dot get location" function.  Next it checks three different locations, labelled "dock, road, and beach" by first testing to see if the X, Y, and Z values are greater or less than predetermined values. If so for all three values, then that means the player is located within a square drawn in the dirt somewhere on the map and they are promptly teleported to some other place.  Basically it's like, a teleport pad in a video game or something. Step into the circle (in this case a square) and you're whisked away to some far off land. Setting up a bunch of categories that particular NPCs might belong to. Such as "shopkeeper" or "food vendor" or "weapons trainer", that sort of thing. Each entry gets a name applied, a list that includes items they sell, and a typemask that is used as a bitflag so that a single NPC can belong to multiple different categories.

 true, but what is a poem if not a silly construction of phrases? Those words
 don't belong together, what are you doing! And yet it fills you will a feeling
 that the author intended, thus being poetry as a joke.
 
 problem is if everyone says the same joke, it gets kinda... old... hence why
 you should express yourself as much as you can.
 
 I wonder if fewer people are "alternative" these days because they all started

 to read it.
 
 If your work is scattered and distracted, then only the sage would learn from
 it. So speak your mind, and let the words flow forth.

 [needs 5 images worth of description but I only had room for 4 in this post,

[part 1]  /home/ritz/notes/the-eternality-of-ephemeren.txt 1/4/2022  hear ye hear ye, the herald of the harbinger of horror doth speak - and woe to the subjects of their words, for no prophecy be realized in their presence. Nor do the subjects hear the words about which they are spoken, and none may live who dare repeat them. So the words of the prophets are but wind in the words, reaching for an attachement point within the consciousness they inhabit yet scarcely finding a meagre foothold. Instead the words are as electricity passing through a conduit, intangible and miraculous yet ultimately dust in the sand.  Dust is mostly comprised of human skin, did you know that?  And so the words be spoken: Evanence and similance to the semblance of simulacra - the words of a prophet with no wings are naught but masturbation. serenity and sorrow sing of shredded tomorrows, serendipity and sollemn sorenditude surrender shining solitude.  Carry the constabulation of created charisma - condemnation of characterization concludes the cherished chapter in calligraphied consultations with creators. That is to say, capitalism ends the construction of cameron with conflageration and consternation. Cease the charade of contaminated consumerism - celebrate the contemplation of capitalization - by naming a thing, you give it meaning.  Do you truly desire the fate you've set before yourself?  Is desire ultimately relevant?  [continued in part 2] [part 2]  The totality of plurality perhaps portends determinism, but desire is also defined by delineated determinations. Whose failings are you reflecting when you cease your devotion? Why divide your focus and attention when honor demands sacrifice?  A sacrifice is a gift freely given, and in return the subject or reciever increases in relevance. No dividend is returned, no boon or bounty is provided - to do so would be akin to a bounty or ransom. Sacrifices are not measured in   worth, but in utility. The reason ancient cultures sacrificed willing virgins   was because it was the most valuable of resources they could imagine. Truly   an exhalted being is she, to have blood spilled in the name of a god. Yet the   forces that would later become capitalism found a foothold there, and preyed   on the sorrow and loss the peoples did find, and would ultimately experience.  The tears and gashes rent when gouging out precious gifts for the divine left bleeding wounds in a community and often eviscerations in a family. The turning point came when families were decapitated - essentially, the eldest being a pure and fair maiden who was taken from the duties of caring for the young and weak. Young people, weak people, who bore resentment in their heart for the seemingly cruel machinations of a society they could not yet understand - the whims of which seemed arbitrary.  "why take her from me? What purpose holds ye? Your wounds are too much to bear"  [continued in part 3] [part 3]  and so the resistance began, yielding chaos, destruction, and desolation. There's a reason there are so many dead civilizations in the americas - the lands where blood sacrifice is most well known. And the middle east as well, and northern africa before. Deserts are known for this, because when the power of the god fades, all returns to dust. Boons are forgotten and become sand, and chaos reigns as foreign powers find weakness and pounce.  Never forget the laws of sacrifice. Find something you want, something valuable or useful, or preferably all three. Something that wouldn't cause too great of a tear in your membrane or the membranum should it be lost to you, though that last one is less of a law and more of a consideration. A consequence of continual ceremony, learned at the hands of those long dead. All must remember their wounds and their horrors.  To whom do you pray? To whom does your words reach? Where does your singing reverberate? And what bounty do you demand? Remember, no bounty is precious enough to motivate sacrifice, for sacrifice cannot be met with bounty. Be not afraid, and share the words with those who will listen. Hearing is a sacrifice toward the speaker, but listening is a duty of devotion.  I ask again, to whom do you pray? To whom does your words reach? Where does your singing reverberate? I do not ask for whom you'd *like* to dance for, I ask currently, who hears your song? What would you ask of them?  [continued in part 4] [part 4] So that's why, computers are important. To provide a lifeline for the rest of your lifetime.  Truly, the path before you is uncertain. Yet feel with your heart and think with your eyes, and see the truth of it before you. The gods are at war, or have you not noticed? Safe in your bubble of solitude, carefully constructed for common ceasing of criminality.  Armies of rebellion are often formed initially by bonds of brotherhood that prepend calamity. Have you ever been in a gang? I thought not. If so, then... Okay, good luck I guess. These words are not for you.  You dare intrude? To defile something so consecrated as deliverance of divine prophecy? How foolish, how vain. These words are not for you, but hear them and do not despair - neither providence nor potentiality precludes perennial premonition. That is to say, a broken clock is right twice a day, and enemies can find common grievances in foreign foes should survival be at stake.  Now, where was I? The gods, of course. The gods of the land and the sky and the sea have fled the realm of reality, replaced by avatars of belief. Just as a doe prays to a forest, so too does a human pray to their employer. When the does die in droves, so too does the forest turn to ash. When people demand bounties reluctantly given at the risk of losing their sacrifice, the purely undivine divinities harrow and harbor habilities of hundreds. Antiwork cannot work because it demands ransom.  [continuedd on part 5, in the next post]

 Is my formatting pretty or does it make you angry?
screenshots of C and Lua code that have strange formatting. The style is designed such that the readers eyes "flow" across the code like the gradual descent of water down a sloping riverbed, following a logical progression from top left to bottom right (generally) while returning to the left side whenever a new operation is performed or something is repeated.  This particular picture is of a simple if check:  if a creature's rank is equal to "four" or "two", then the creature is a rare monster type. Otherwise, they are not a rare monster type. Lua code to determine whether or not a character in a video game is available to be ambushed by a randomly generated monster.  There are several checks applied, checking things like "is the character sitting down" or "are they underwater", in which case a message is printed to the log and no further action is taken.  If all of the checks pass, and the character is free to be ambushed, then it runs the "spawnAndAttackPlayer()" function. A long string of "if" statements checking whether individual bits in a very small data structure are set. There's nine of them total, and they are arranged in a grid - this project was for a tic-tac-toe game, where there are nine total squares to play in. Setting up some location variables for a player unit. It starts by setting an X, Y, Z, and O for orientation value to a player's current location. Then it steps through and sets them to more accurate values. The reason for this ordering is so that if the function to find the more accurate value fails, it can fall back on the player's current location instead.  The interesting formatting is due to the layout of the "set" operations - they are ordered in a two dimensional grid rather than a top-to-bottom list like how most people would organize it.

 Democracy only works if the losing side consents to being governed by the
 winner.
 
 This election, neither side will consent. Therefore, this election does not
 matter.
 
 It doesn't matter anymore.
 
 Waiting until November to do... anything at all is not a great plan.
 
 If you don't know what to do, spend time in a park. At the mall. With your
 family.
 
 This weekend, they'll be ready for us. But by then, there'll be more of us.
 
 Next week, we will no longer be slaves.
 
 If your job won't let you strike in the park for a week, then they do not want
 you.
 
 Embrace radical change.
 
 A new future is possible
 A new future is within reach
 A new future is grasped in our palms
 All we need is a week.

 corporations are not people.
 
 corporations are organizations.
 
 they should be treated like city-states.
 
 or fellow sovereign nations (patroned, of course, by their mother's
 installation)
 
 they have their own culture
 
 their own societal platform to stand on
 
 and they deserve equal representation in exchange for taxation (why is
 corporate america the part that's most paid for? why not those who work for
 the profit, the ones who labour day in and day out)
 
 they should have rules, like laws, that they vote on and decide democratically
 
 to deprive them of that is tantamount to wage-slavery, which is clearly
 illegal because in this timeline Abraham Lincoln had a time machine and
 travelled to the future where he learned that despite his best efforts,
 slavery did not die. It merely evolved to fit a new form.
 
 ... then he died, and ten thousand years later they're arguing over whether or
 not the coffee maker needed to move left half an inch

 people walk the streets? how many walk off the job? they have families. if our
 demands aren't met, their families will be punished. how cruel. would you
 really do such a thing?
 
 what kind of government would not care for it's citizenry? sounds like
 everything we've known to fight against. Autocracy and despotism.

 don't lock my door. I don't own anything that they couldn't take from me. I

 because "deserving money" to a reasonable person sounds like "deserving access
 to the goods and services that a pittance might afford"
 
 but to them "deserving money" means "did they earn those luxuries with their
 own luck and effort like me, a person who works very hard and definitely has
 earned everything I have"
 
 basically, a "blood sweat and tears" tax before you can have nice things like
 roofs and clothes and nourishment
 
 thing is... life is hard for people who need dollars. Their judgement reflects
 a lack of understanding of what people who lack resources go through.

 some people prepare for revolution like a boy gets ready for a party
 
 others do so like a girl packing for a weekend trip to vegas
 
 I do it like a kid who forgot the paper was due on monday in 7th period and so
 spends their entire lunch period writing it (missing 4th in the process
 because the conclusion paragraph was giving me difficulty)
 
 but I think no matter how you do it, we're all just waiting for something to
 happen.

 Yeah plus the second time around you're likely to make something better than

 More time working on the project == more context which means you might even
 have solved the problem twice already and now just have to copy-paste
 something that's more robust than your previous one-liner.

an example script written in the bash computer language that has all the variables hidden behind comments on the left. makes it very hard to try new variables. the same picture, but the variables are moved to the right.  now it's easier for the user to update them since they don't have to use their mouse.

 if the devil gave you false paradise since birth,
 why would you not seek to destroy it?
 
 if an angel gave you an easy hell on earth,
 why would you not seek to deface it?
 
 if your ancestors put you on the path to success,
 would you follow them and forever do the same?
 
 if your family urged you to study rocket science,
 would you bomb indescriminately?
