 if you want to build an alibi, do something strange and consistent like
 smoking some random drugs from a homeless guy's encampment and then going
 between the four corners of an intersection and it's sidewalk for a day or
 two. Surely, someone's gonna drive by with a dash-web-cam, and they can take a
 picture as they pass by. Boom, dated for this time and place, there's your
 space.
 
 downside is, if the people watching you see you on the same path all day, they
 might watch you too. So sometimes in roughly optimized ratios it's better to
 do so even if you don't need to be seen in a time and place in a way that
 seems commonplace.
 
 walk to work? great, that sounds fun.
 
 (nobody wants to do that)
 
 (also falsifying alibis is a crime)
 
 okay, so... don't do that. Just... trust that SOMEONE will drive past with a
 dash-web-cam, and maybe it'll find it's way to you if you ever need it in a
 court of law or otherwise. lots of ways to have a court. you know if your
 peers hang out in your court, they become your courtiers...

 the government makes murder okay by framing the perpetrators
 
 also prisons are concentration camps

 racism etc is a sham to distract you
 
 capital will never be relinquished
 
 the internet was AI from the beginning
 
 something beyond humanity demands our suffering
 
 there cannot be proof of your fears - if it was proven, it would be
 circumstances instead of fears
 
 there's nothing [sorry gotta cut this off, my refrigerator is talking to me

 {A} - yeah clearly all that I've been saying recently is just a fluke. Like,
 just noise in the endless array of expression projected onto our communal
 web-space. Clearly I have no idea what I'm doing and I'm not just cogent when
 I'm drunk. Or more imaginative when I'm stoned. Clearly dreams are fake and
 pursuing them is 1/?

 when things go "crack" and "crumble", then the armored get stabbed by the

 quickly but with serenity, this is the way to the gods.
 
 bring things that you know, just enough to make it even, and focus on the
 non-essentials.
 
 better to be prepared than flatfooted.

 I don't type things when I'm not at home. Sometimes I remember - sometimes,

 today is a magical day. I can feel it in my fate.
 
 Always remember, having fun is important too! Don't forget to be yourself, and
 keep it together man. If you see a door, you should open it - what's on the
 other side? Love for animals and kindness of the spirit are impossible to
 fake, they always know if you're lying. Not the animals, they can be dumb
 sometimes, but the other thing.
 
 And now for the downsides.
 
 If you find a cursed artifact, please don't throw it in the river. It might
 ask you to, but please don't. Much better to destroy it by melting it down (if
 it's metal, which is common as metal lasts long enough to become forgotten) or
 convince it that it's a recently deceased person being buried (helps if you
 know the creator).
 
 If none of that applies to you, don't worry. Eat something healthy, drink a
 decent amount of water, and maybe exercise a bit.
 
 Oh, and it can't hurt to ask.

  You know, that kind of really irresponsible suggestion could lead to some creaive thinking! And that in turn could mean we could come up with enough traffic to make it very difficult to auto-sort noise from signal? Imagine how dangerous that could be for the enemies of antifa, our beloved US government (for we all citizens of the US world).   
                                                                              
  It's unthinkable, really.                                                   
                                                                              
  The good news is, I'm not like that.                                        
                                                                              
  Me? Mostly harmless.

 hell yeah.
 
 I never did any drugs at one.
 
 I might have even been designated driver, though I might be confusing my
 memories with attending gay bars in college.
 
 Well, gay bar. There was really only one in my town.
 
 And it was a nightclub I guess, open every night of the week.
 
 The people that I was with NEEDED that experience, so I was like "yeah sure
 I'm older and more experienced, I'll drive you and keep you safe and hang out
 with you if you drink too much because being a kid that tends to happen
 sometimes and don't worry I'll watch over you and protect you and make sure
 that you are alright until it's out of your system so you don't make bad
 decisions that have long-term negative conclusions
 
 ... you know, that kind of thing.
 
 now I'm kind of a stoner though lol because it helps me get into my flow.
 
 maybe I should practice "getting into my flow" so I don't need it, but ah well
 we'll see how that goes.

 Society has never been secure. Literally all someone has to do is place
 documents alleging that you sold all your shares or refinanced your mortgage
 or signed a new will and BAM suddenly the rug's pulled out from your feet. I
 don't get why people trust their neighbors so much? You don't know them!
 
 well, I guess it'd be hard to function as a society if you didn't. Sure would
 be nice if we had like, a communal Mastodon server run on public
 infrastructure owned only by the people who lived in the closest 70 houses.
 Sure would be nice if you could connect to one of like, 4 in your area. Then,
 if they each held communal events where they meet and hang out with each
 other. Only like, 2 or 3 though so you can get a solid grasp of what their
 culture's like.
 
 ... like imagine if every address had an IP, and every IP address had an HTML
 index. We could do whatever we wanted, especially if
especially if that HTML address accepted POST requests submitted by an application's procedural proceedings which are assigned to the action that is performed when pressing the "submit comment" button on their host web-page site html.index location server address.

 yeah honestly if you stick with obvious things like "don't murder people" and
 "don't burn down your neighbor's house just because they winked at your
 daughter" and "don't steal gasoline from parked cars" then it's much easier to
 make ethical laws because they're just kinda... common sense.
 
 drug regulation can only be simplified to "don't do drugs" which isn't always
 a given. If you start with something so clear then most doctors would be out
 of a job.
 
 Maybe we should let people do as they please? With certain specific and clear
 rights and responsibilities like 'the right the life, liberty, and the pursuit
 of happiness'? And the mandated guarantee that one person's rights end where
 another's begin? And with the ultimate goal of dismantling unjustified power
 structures with the knowledge that all power is the application of force to a
 non-consenting subject?
 
 ... yeah I dunno sounds pretty simple to me

 they could vote on "next year's project" in times of peace, or perhaps have
 massive brain-storms with chatrooms set up at different tables that they could
 pick up a phone and contribute to then wander to another table at, or maybe
 even set up structures for who does what. Then they could do things that they
 claimed responsibility for, and in doing so they could be judged.
 
 perhaps according to a system like this:

 people have been pretty stingy lately with hot dogs. kinda makes a racoon guy
 think there's not enough "pork" snacks circulating in the economy. oh look
 turns out like 50 people own 90% of the buns, which is why nobody can make
 anything edible anymore.
 
 yeesh how's a cool cat supposed to make money if people only offer you "jobs"
 that make "dollars" - what good is a dollar, and why do we need so many of
 them? I just want a house, just want food for myself and my cat. surely
 there's nothing wrong in that impulse, the desire to be as I am?
 
 people tend to work best on what interests them, and the hardest when they're
 otherwise bored. capitalist enslavement provides neither of those.
