 homeless people don't need clothes.
 
 they need laptops. computers. fans. power banks. solar panels. hardware.
 tools. boxes of screws. giftcards. pre-payed gym subscriptions. hygiene
 supplies. free trash cans located near major thoroughfares. [even highways.]
 calculators. notebooks. earmuffs. pliers. phone connectors. books on stoic
 philosophy. small dense piles of aluminum and rubber. electro-motors with
 included circuitboard and - wait that last one needs a bit more
 infrastructure, build places for them to be undercover first.
 
 they also need clothes and tents and blankets and socks and etceteras, but
 they also need Anbernics.
 
 [most importantly they need the promise that they won't be evicted. everything
 else is easy.]

 seriously, why don't computers just naturally ship with 100 years of ROM
 
 then, microphones are experience, and BOOM you got a new sentient race. Takes
 a while to grow aware though. A lot less if you are actively teaching it how
 to

 low level enemies should band together when they start to feel outmatched.
 thus, parity is reached, without depriving us of potential.
 
 put the cool people next to the cool people
 
 collectively owned housing is just people deciding who lives in which housing.
 don't you trust your friendly queer realtor?
 
 collectively doesn't have to mean completely silo-ed and isolated. you should
 have access to ALL higher communities at any time that you want. Scheduling is
 a disaster, but you can get through it. just... build a schedule for every
 single person on earth and suddenly nobody has freedom unless they put "doin'
 what I want" on their moment-to-moment card

 hey, I'm working on a project. Might need some python, I tend to prefer Lua
 but it's pretty similar. It uses fediverse software and cheap hardware, think
 raspberry pi's except risc-v
 
 also it might use distributed local LLMs not to generate text, that's garbo
 and lame and stupid. Instead it uses them to transform text, maybe even
 translate text, into a more summarized form. Intentionally losing data, like a
 jpeg compression but for text.
 
 Might need some python for that. To glue it all together. The "distributed"
 part is a whitelist, so we'd need to write that too. Various small little
 utilities like that for connectivity.
 
 oh also there's a one-way ethernet cable that connects two of the boards so
 we'd need to store some information (easy) and send some UDP packets (hard)
 
 anyway it's pretty neat, lmk if you want my contact details and I can tell you
 about it. I might even be able to pay you.
 
 (everything open source, no telemetry, no backdoors, everything private is
 encrypted, etc etc)

 dear god, why don't girls carry around swords? nobody's gonna wanna mess with
 you if you got a blade. [nope wrong they still will, but close. the actual
 answer is that if you notice injustice, you can draw your sword and engage.
 "stop, why are you doing this sir" attends to the citizens like a justice
 police.|'-> I see, well please step aside so she can pass.]
 
 when people are noticed from their flanks, they tend to panic and disengage.
 unless they're in a frenzy or a rage, then they are an uncontrollable storm.
 but once it wears off, they are surrounded. frenzies are rare. often glorious
 in their flair. hence, why a lady with a sword can help clear the air. in a
 crowded room, she approaches when she notices there are enough swords for
 those belligerents who are armed. otherwise, she is outclassed.

 then pitch a tent in the park
 
 then explain to the cops that you're not actually homeless and living there

 then use your phone call to call your representative and complain about how
 much funding the police get

 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?

 Our spiritual leaders are confined to their doctrine. Our educational leaders

 not sure how busy you are, but maybe you could hang around outside the food
 bank and offer to trade with other people who come out with 4 pounds of
 carrots and 6 whole pumpkins?
 
 when in doubt there's always rice and beans for the peppers. The melons
 probably just have to be eaten.
 
 If you don't get to all of them (because let's face it, who's gonna eat all
 that melon) then maybe you could feed it to rabbits or something.
 
 this situation is pretty common in rural areas where people have large
 harvests of single crops all at once, or in a very short timeframe. However in
 those places there's infrastructure in place to distribute your extra, so idk
 what you could do here now unless you have friends who are willing to trade.

 wow-chat but there's a UI element addon that let's you zoom in/out and

 what if there was a new building town built north west of denver and south of
 estes park

 then, they added a circle just 1/4th of the way out of the ring

 leading the charge into the future
