 when facing riot shields, grab from the bottom and lift.
 
 they are like turtles.
 
 according to a Russian activist I read on the internet like 10 years ago.
 
 also, wrap your hands before grabbing tear gas canisters.

 Protests are not the battleground, they are the stage. The gym. The pride
 parade.
 
 Some people should not go to protests. In card games, it's often best to save
 your best cards for last, when your opponents can least resist. Or at least,
 save them for when they are most crucial.
 
 I read recently about how Russian spec-ops forces (the truly best of the best)
 have been absolutely devastated because they keep sending them to the
 frontline to die for inches of breadth.
 
 I'm not spec ops, but I don't go to protests for a different reason.
 
 Mostly because nobody thought to invite me xD xD lol so silly

 It's a person with a thumbs up who has a fountain of tears streaming down
 their cheeks. Any time you see the T.T fountain of tears emoticon you should
 view it as slightly sarcastic - they're not actually crying, it's more like a
 "ahhhhhh" type of thing instead of a "[cry cry cry]" forever type of thing.
 
 Oh also the z is them with their other hand on their hip all sassy like.

 witch hats should fold flat. The angled part should be in front so you only
 have to see a thin slice of reality, that way people are only able to see your

 Consumption is contribution to a capitalist system. Normalize taking whatever
 you are given and living as humbly as you can. Only when everyone does that
 may capitalism die. Talk to them, learn from their stories. Teach them your
 ways but don't force anything upon them. Any ounce of regret is defined as a
 mind not aligned to the angle of perception that designs the line that the
 collective mind co-re-assigns.

 Your body is a river, from your mouth to your exits
 Throughout there are many pathways and shores
 As the tide goes up, the color of concentration goes up
 And all four of you are made clear
 
 Each act of consumption
 is a ride down the river,
 though broken into slivers,
 and changed beyond recognition
 
 The color is what defines the third eye
 and beauty is beheld, what joys to be felt
 While secrecy is bold, it's often held
 So worry less and just go with the fold

 here's my opinion: life on earth evolved when combinations of matter were
 forced into increasingly difficult-to-solve maze-like environments. this was
 due to the strange, honeycomb structure of their rock-like crust. [water
 pushed through soil ]

 what if we raised more of the surface of the earth (from the oceans) and built
 a distant aquifer?
 
 ah, because most of the ocean is sand.

 rapid is 10,000 years?

 if you know how and have access to certain hand tools that are typically found
 in suburban dad garages (but not in a toolkit bought from target or whatever)
 you can turn any semi-automatic rifle into a fully automatic one.
 
 It's highly illegal, but it's technically possible.

 do it in a random color each time! Here's my implementation for viewing txt
 files colorfully:
some bash computer code which first picks a random color, and if the color is a bad combination (like, black front and black back, meaning you can't see the lines of the letters) then it redoes it and tries to pick a better one randomly. It'll keep trying until it gets a correct combination but honestly there's only like one or two bad ones that don't look so great

 found these pictures in my pictures directory from the start of the war in
 Ukraine.
 
 for context it was directed at the citizens of Ukraine by an American soldier
 who wanted to help protect them from the ravages of war and fight back against
 an oppressive regime invading their homeland.
 
 idk if you'd ever find them useful but they're the kind of thing to put on a
 hard drive and pray you never have to use or ever think about again.
screenshot of a twitter post.  "American tank mechanic here. Some advice.  Tanks are bad at urban combat. They need infantry support. Without boots on ground they're just big targets with poor visibility. Rifles should aim for the periscopes, but most importantly the sight unit on top of the turret.  [next post in the thread, by the same guy]  Take down street signs. Don't let the enemy know where they are. Move signs to the wrong streets. Tanks are super heavy, so try to direct them to streets that can't hold their weight. They can't move if they break through to the sewer."  there are two more pictures in the thread. post 1:  "Break the tracks if you have explosives. Tracks are also terrible for catching stuff like barbed wire/concertina wire. Line the streets with anything that can get sucked in and tangle up."  post 2:  "the engine needs to breathe, so throw your molotov cocktails at whatever looks like an intake for the engine. It has rubber belts, hoses, and fuel lines."  post 3:  "Tanks are a logistical nightmare. They need a supply chain a mile long for service parts, and especially fuel. They can usually only go about 300 miles on improved roads on one tank of fuel. Stop the supply line, and a tank is just a giant pile of useless iron."  post 4:  "Visibility is rather poor from an armored vehicle. If you paint dinner plates to look like mines and set them upside down in the street, the tank crew won't be able to tell if they're real or not."  there is one more picture remaining, for a total of 3. [next post]:  "The U.S. ARMY likes to fight at night because we have thermal imagers. Thermal picks up heat, so you can not hide behind a bush, but anything that is ambient temperature just looks like a black square. They can't see through windows because the glass is ambient."  [next post]:  "Cut up cardboard boxes and put them everywhere. The cardboard is the same temperature as the environment. Hiding behind anything that obscures vision only works if they don't have thermal. Sheets of cardboard in every bush, tree, etc. will just be a square in a thermal imager."  [next post]:  "set them up everywhere as distractions. make a chaos terrain for the enemy."  [next post, by some random guy replying to the thread]:  "this is amazing info for you to post. bless you for trying to help the innocent people caught in putin's wrath." an infographic detailing ways to defend a house from infantry invasion.  it involves things like putting netting over the windows to reduce the likelihood that grenades can be thrown in, and placing barbed wire or nails on the stairs leading into the building to reduce the enemy's mobility.

 back-track, but leave a leaf in the center of the trail at every turn. Like
 breadcrumbs. If you're both backtracking you might miss one another and walk
 much further than necessary. But if you're backtracking and you've left enough
 leaf signs without meeting your partner, you can safely stop and wait for them
 for a bit.
 
 Nature can handle it. A leaf or five isn't that big of a deal when your safety
 is on the line.
 
 If it's windy, use a stick or a stone or something heavier
 
 It also depends on how far apart you usually travel.
 
 If you're in an urban area, could use a small brightly colored post-it cut
 into small strips placed on a wall high-up as you can reach. Though that
 requires preparation. If you can't prepare, you could use other signs that
 make sense in the space around you, like a coffee cup taken from a trash-can
 and placed next to it, or something. Downside is (is this really a downside?)
 most people are good and so will judge you for littering but safety in
 situations is important.

 cat memes be like

picture of a porch in the warm sunlight. There are bars on the edge and leaves on a tree in the background, leading you to believe this porch is on the third floor or greater. Solely based on your general understanding of the size of a tree, and how large they typically grow. the picture is taken as if from a cat's point of view, and the caption would read: "this is my part of the house. I have some tips that I learned from living here. Check it out." the same picture, but with added annotations by the cat.  "don't jump here" is near the top in red, above the railing and close to the trees.  "don't climb here" is placed both above the growing houseplant in the corner, and next to the railings which are easy to fall off of and a 3 story drop would really hurt your bones  "don't sleep here" right next to the edge, where you're liable to roll right off (good thing she's kinda fat and can't fit through the bars!! she's ready for winter.)

 example of statistics related to revolution that my girlfriend cares about:
 number of girls who want to be snuggled and are snuggled
 
 both are important, just like it's important to know both geometry and anatomy.

 if you aren't organized enough to protect your commanders, then you don't
 deserve leaders.
 
 build the structure first. build it on honesty and trust and dedication toward
 a goal. then build the necessary adaptations as you encounter problems, trying
 vaguely to head in a particular direction, and eventually you'll become
 self-sustaining.

12. the text continues from the previous page and reads "if it's been ten or more years since they moved in, the site gets rebuilt. [wait, hang on, weren't we talking about html websites? when did houses come into the discussion?]  ... wait, what was I saying? Oh yeah the text is on a gray background, as interrupting as a scythe, with a yellow backdrop as if to represent sheer white-hot flame except not white the color of all colors but fire the color of all flames. the text reads "prince of the nehalim" in bright pinking blue, as in something completely foreign and unknown to you, and continues on to read in red "so many opportunities" as if life hadn't absconded, but instead of severed instead. "parabolas persist" in the flavor of blue, the color of space in a non-light polluted view.  "live life like you're merry, as do but a few."  do you want to make people feel better? or do you just want to make them confused? Neither, really, I'm trying to tell the truth. I'm seriously just struggling to find a way to express things that others clearly seem to be forgetting - I'm not an expert in other stuff! This is literally all I'm good at! Is it valuable? Maybe not to you, but I think it could be useful, or else I would covet it and leave it in disuse.  it's time is relevant, it's words fit into a context, so if you misunderstand it's past then it's probably because you don't have the records or the ability to process them of the time in which it was posted. What if things were de 10 ten. blue text on a blue background, as a calming and soothing influence, saying "it's okay, don't freak out, just think about learning lessons about stuff that *could* go wrong and think about how you'd counter it. just like any video game, there's a strategy to defeat any other strategy. the careful application of said strategy while using or applying your own capabilities is directly correlated to the conclusions of the task." meanwhile the listener is like "what the fuck" wait shit hang on lemme add a content warning:  right so the text reads "if you want your neighbors to know something, don't post it on the internet - put it on a post-it on the wall in a public place" like, your front door, or maybe the entrance to your building, or the parking garage near the mall, or maybe the grocery store, on a product behind the one in front. that kind of thing.  depending on who you want to see it, of course... people used to do this with library books but stopped because it's quite obviously a bad and rude thing to do, books are for record keeping of the status of humanity, through each and every one of it's forms. It's weird that they all have the same stuff, because they're designed for capitalism right? Why not share them based on availability, and keep as many different types of things as possible?  when nobody cares for them, how will we remember the countless books nobody reads? How will we understand that step in developing our culture if we don't have access to the con 9. the text begins to diverge at this point, on the left it reads "it's easy if you want some privacy, - all you have to do" and then is cut off by the introduction of red text on a green background, to evoke similar colors as the original thing it was interrupting but it's own thing nonetheless, and existing off to the side in tandem, so that conditions could not remain unaddressed. the text reads "they were betting on selling us space flight [with spaceflight sliding from one side to the other, like a rocket escaping the gravitic pull of the planet it surrounded] but we cared more for food and water" the second part, after spaceflight about food and water, is intruding onto the yellow's background, which was next, to represent a continuation of the previous thought about websites and HTML. it's frustrating for the next text, which is in purple, a confused and disoriented color. it continues from the original thought "is delete the website! Boom, no more html. but if they were listed (neocities sites on a map of the region" but map is emphasized with a different color, green the color of the land, and "region" is pronounced like "realm" or perhaps "ground" or even "directions" or "land beyond the horizon (if it even exists)") 11. I think. orange text on a green blue background, same background as the previous three pictures. orange text which contrasts in a way that almost calls back to the 80s, but not quite. a little too dirty, like the blue and orange decorations around highways in New Mexico. car smoke and tire dust'll do that, and it's not like it's easy to clean - right next to the freeway, c'mon! Wouldn't it be nice if we shut it down for a day or two? Unless you had very important business, solely self-suggested. if too many people used it on those days (when they were cleaning it) then they're supposed to follow through and identify if their need was too great or if they were just being an asshole about it because their bosses forced them to. basically like, family emergencies gets a lane, things that are crucial to a social event like no beer at a frat party or whatever, heck even if the girl you like really wanted to get laid. whatever the heck it is, if you deem it an emergency then that's fine. you can drive while the highway is being cleaned. just make sure you don't slip on the suds...  ... a while later, humanity realized they could just close one direction at a time and clean the next one next time.  what was I saying? Oh yeah the text! Here's what it reads: "every year, replace five percent [but read as %] of the homes and boom you're good - maybe even do 10% if things are going well - either way, as time goes on people can live in a house as long as they want - but when they mov

 why do adult babies like to live in space?
 
 because then they can be picked up and moved around easier. All you need is a
 push, no matter how hard, and you can build up inertia.
 
 plus, astronauts use diapers I heard.

 imagine yourself slaying it
 
 ... okay how about cthulu - if you don't want to imagine cthulu nomming on our

 and vengeance and pay special attention to the way that you cauterize each
 tentacle as you slice them one by one at first, and then in a massive flurry
 at best, ultimately leading to the incomparable brightness that radiates out
 from your shining blade of the sky, which blinds the poor beast who can't see
 you as you approach, piercing the skull and then going home for some toast
