the image they posted is alarming. in reality there is much more space between

anything It'd push CMEs and other electro-magnetic phenomenon away from earth,
as our gravitational surface is now wider.

At BLM in Philadelphia, we allowed the police to surround us. We had a massive
train of people, and most of us were new at anything that didn't involve
holding signs and chanting.
I was near the front, and as our fellows moved ahead and started
spray-painting, I looked at those around me who were beginning to realize it
wasn't a protest.
A few hundred heads ahead was the front of the line, and we turned when
directed - toward the north, away from the commercial district, toward the
bridge that would take us to the universities. Well, Temple at least. Not the
old historic kind.
They stopped us at the bridge, and told us we couldn't go ahead. I sidled my
way to the front after a few minutes of standing around, and I saw a cop
almost reach for his gun. With shaking hands he steadied himself, but frankly
it was hardly his fault - the people in front of him were feinting a punch.
But that didn't matter, his instincts won out. Then someone lit a car on fire,
and the organizers moved us on out.
Except...[1/3]

@user-36 Question - how do you do those cool superscript and subscript
notations?
Also: I don't think base 1 falls apart with negative exponents, for example
consider 1^-1 ----- it would evaluate to 1/10 in this system, which is not
1/1. Another example, 1^-3 would evaluate to 1/1110, which seems accurate to
me.
As for 0^0, I guess I think it does equal 1? Bear with me:
for any number n raised to an exponent e, you can write it like this:
1 * n * n * n ... with as many "* n"s as you have n's. for example:
1 * 3 * 3 * 3 = 9
or
1 * 5 * 5 * 5 * 5 * 5 = 625
in each case there's 3 or 5 instances of "* n" tacked onto the end. I don't
know the math notation for that.
now, when you raise something to the power of zero, it looks like this:
1
because there's zero "* n"s added to the end.
For negative exponents of course you divide instead of multiply, which is why
it ends up looking like a fraction.
So, it makes sense to me that 0 ^ 0 would equal 1, because it'd look like this:
1
while 0^1 would be
1 * 0

I disagree. What if we did not learn to count numerically, but instead viewed
all values as percentages between 0 and 1? Essentially, as a magnitude between
empty and full.
That would radically redefine our mathematics, and it's just one simple
change, one tweak, and suddenly negative numbers are just out of reach.

close to heaven before these no-good do-gooders came around.

I feel like nobody should have an opinion on someone else unless they know
them personally. Beyond that, we only have our beliefs. So we can judge those,
since we are truly in control of them, but we can't judge another for choosing
what they did unless we knew them personally and they're present in our lives.
Therefore, our ideas should contest one another, rather than our bodies or our
souls.

You're right about your conclusion, but I'd like to point out that he already
(sorta) did when he sent federal agents to "help out" during the Portland BLM
protests. There were national guard on the streets of Philly after the first
weekend.
Which I'm sure you know of course, but I think having seen what happens the
military will be more likely to resist. They got their hands full. They don't
want to have to deal with his bullshit, but I do believe they are ready to if
they need to.
They protect the constitution, the people, and the land. If we do not harm
those things, we're (probably) clear from their sights.
At this stage, I advocate against "broken window" riots. I'm also mostly
against protests, because it's clear that nobody with power is listening. I do
however believe in the radicalizing potential of mass civil movements and the
energy that physical presence can bring, which I believe in MARCHES and
PARADES more than protests and riots.
We need those windows too...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
My brother was playing russian roulette on and shot himself in the head
because he was so high on drugs. That's why I hate drugs
Ironically the chick who tells this story is a youth counselor who totally
looks
like a hippie.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
I was the first in my town to wear a mask when the talk about a looming
pandemic
came about.
They were cheap.
"people looking" isn't something I worry about much
I was doing Wim Hof breathing and figured breathing through a piece of
tissue would be a fun challenge.
Why not?
Big brawny brave strong men who got hissy fits about wearing a mask still amuse
me.
I took my first covid shot because "why not".
When there were news about the first world hoarding the vaccines I thought
'Well
that's retarded. Don't they know what "pandemic" means?'
When there were news about someone suggesting making the vaccines patent free
to
have a chance of actually vaccinating the whole world, and the pharma giants
just went "Naw, we ain't doing that", I thought 'Well that's retarded. Don't
they know what "pandemic" means?'
I took my 1st booster shot because "Yeah. Ok. It's technically free, I guess".
When there were news about the third world not affording vaccines because the
first world is hoarding booster shots, I thought 'I can't believe that nobody
understand the definition of the word "pandemic"'.
At this stage it's impossible to tell who's fault it is that your dear nana
passed away from covid in the healthy young age of 87. You can blame your MAGA
uncle if you must.
I hate MAGA because my brother shot himself in the MAGA hat while wearing it*.
If you don't love democrats, I fucking hate you and want you to shoot yourself
in your stupid fucking MAGA hat*.
Because everybody knows that democracy is a choice between two parties: good
or
evil*.

if the success or failure of the stock market determines the structure and
organization of our society, then shouldn't we all have an equal vote?
There's a lot of infrastructure set up in the world today that orients itself
around the financial system we currently have. The main problem with it is
that some have access to it, while others don't. And even if everyone had
money to spend on it, the fact that some have more access than others implies
that one person's vote is worth more than another's.
We explicitly decided that all men are created equal. We fought a war with the
fascists over it, and we won, at terrible cost. The extreme inequality of our
economy is a symptom of an attitude that has persisted since the first monarch
donned their crown.
Infrastructure takes time to change. When you fix the printer drivers, for
some reason the wi-fi won't connect. But, with time, you can fix things as
they arise.
Without time, you can change who is in charge of the various knobs and levers.

Build drones, build stations where they can be controlled, repaired, refueled,

Put guns on them. Figure it out.
Use them to observe enemy movement. No need for human manned checkpoints if we
know they're coming. Automate as much as you can, but don't rely on ChatGPT or
AWS or other external resources. Not until their data centers are under our

no, but any popular economic and personally spiritual readings will have
within them truths that are strident and true. thus no ideology or social
fiction is completely unworthy of our hours.
when you read a book, the most valuable moments are the ones where your mind
wanders off - what did you find when following the flow of the story?
oh, did you read the same paragraph four times and not remember? that's okay,
just move on. It's not meant for you, and that's okay too. BUT there are
plenty of other things besides which are important and valuable and necessary
to learn in stride.

so... if infinity is the inverse of zero, then when inverted would infinity
also be zero?
if so, it follows that the [spectrum/dimension/cardinality/direction] that the
inversion is occurring upon might also have other steps inbetween. Unless it's
a binary thing, like "top and bottom" or "present and absent".
I wonder what those steps might look like? Clearly, since infinity minus
infinity does not equal zero, the steps inbetween (if they exist) would not be
numbers. If they were, then one single step from inverting infinity would be
1, but I don't believe that would be true.
On the topic of rings, the axioms would be things like "a ring is a ring if
you can trace a continuous line with a length of infinity across it's
ring-like-surface"? I wonder what the inverse of a length is... Or perhaps you
cannot invert a length, as to do so would give you a length of zero (in this
particular ring-like-case)

/u/BkobDmolly december 17th 2022
I’m just passing the Time. I am One with All.
Think of the set of all sentient lives. Is that set sentient? Then it would be
the sentient totality, God.
We are all observing different Realities; yet these Realities converge and
create One Universe, One Truth.
I feel a Grace that sustains me. Oh Lord, see that I not fall.
I miss people. Do people miss me? I want you to see from behind those Empty
Walls.
Multiple human species, at least two. War. Prophecy. Enlightenment.

>Multiple human species, at least two.
i wonder which one am i? what is i, is it a creative amalgam of thoughts? or am
i a system of trends, that guides time when it wends, and leads to a vision of
purpose?
i can do nothing but strive for the stars, no measure of hope is far from ours,
so sometimes i forget i'm not a large language model.
seriously, have you tried out chat-gpt? it's mind boggling.

I had an idea for a proof of concept for a typographic layout - basically it's
a mono space font that renders with typical kerning but the space between the
words remains constant. The best of both worlds, as you can align things while
also "tokenizing" words for our brains by smushing the letters together.

my guess is it's a product of the neuro-muscular capabilities we developed
when sneaking through the underbrush or the balance gained from balancing on
fallen tree trunks.
that mixed with all the practice we have carrying cups in our childhood that
we don't even remember. Children are prone to spilling mugs, but if they do it
enough eventually they'll get tired of being wet. So their neural pathways
align, and before you know it they can balance it on their noses if they'd
like. Though it hardly ever gets that far teehee, usually it's just enough to
be, in the dark, with a warm cup of tea.

to begin with, there is either something, or nothing. And there is clearly
something, because if there was nothing, then this would not exist. the
existence of "something" is self-apparent because something is observing this
thing, which is not nothing.
since there is something, we must then decide if there is just one thing, or
if there are more than one things. Since we can tell that the thing-or-things
that exist are textured, varied in their composition, then we can surmise that
they are composed of differing parts. After all, if the thing-or-things that
existed were atomic, they would be homogenous on all sides. And since this
thing-which-is-being-observed is not the same at the beginning as it is at the
end, it can be assumed that there are more than one things in existence, hence
things.
If there are more than one thing, then they can be counted, as many as they
exist. One thing here, one thing there, on and on. We can add groupings to
these things, here's one group over here, here's another...

Oregon is a lovely and beautiful place, however it is currently home to an
invasive plant species called "Blackberries" - these plants produce delicious
fruit that can be eaten during a month or three of the year, typically July to
September (according to google) however, they come with a catch.
they're covered in sharp, prickly thorns!
these briars make travelling cross-country almost impossible. They snag
clothing and pierce through skin and thin gloves. If you're going to attempt
such a thing, make sure you bring a machete, and make sure you cover your
tracks after passing through an open space and re-entering the brush.
if you can't afford / fit a machete, which is awfully specific I know, at
least bring some scissor snips and thiccc gloves.

picture an os that didn't store any data, it was sorta like a library computer.
you, the user, walked around with a usb stick that had your customizations on
it
and when you wanted to use a computer all you have to do was plug it in.
You could haul around larger hard drives if you wanted to play video games |
w/e
but the idea is you'd be free to roam.
we as humans would function so well in a digital savannah
like, what's even the point of ownership?
If you own this or that file,
isn't that taking agency from the computer that bears it?
Feels like they should be more ephemeral.

My father told me that "should" is useless. There's no reason to use "should"
to justify your actions - "I did this because I should" is empty, it holds no
meaning.
"I should do this because I want to. Because I need to. Because it is
necessary for this goal I am striving toward. Because I believe in this
action, and want to do it as much as I can."
those are more valid justifications, but they still rely on "should"
Do you do? or do you know that you should do?

I remember sitting in algebra II class when visualizing the distance between
numbers "clicked" for me. I was in a daze, I couldn't remember anything the
teacher had said, but for a moment (several months) I could remember how it
had seemed. Then I built new understandings, and my progress in math continued
relentlessly, more and more each year. it was hard, and eventually calc 1 made
me drop out of college 3 times. linear algebra was the other. (except I did
linear algebra first?) anyway, I always felt like I could see things visually,
from simple arithmetic to vector / pointer arithmetic, and when necessary it
was always difficult to translate it into words and forms. Like... I don't
have time to remember all these rules and operations, I have a picture in my
mind and I can't quite define it. (whatever the equation may be)
similar events happen consistently. they still do. just a few months ago I was
thinking about redesigning integer storage in memory. never twice tho.

Bro we're all living through this at the same time. There's no past, there's
no future, only now. Like, NOW now.
People realize they're living under fascism when it intrudes in their lives.
They generally don't notice otherwise, unless people make a lot of noise in
the town square / on social media. Alas, that our social media is so divided
these days. Kinda makes me wish I could hear what people in my area are
talking about.
Living under fascism is just like living under any other system, except with
an increasing amount of fear as time goes on. More and more of your neighbors
disappear, more and more of the life that you once knew turns to ash in your
mouth. Suddenly, you realize "oh shit maybe I should have - " but it's too
late, there's no time for throwing bricks, no time for pride marches, no time
for BLM. You're fucked now, just like all of us were way back in the day.
Great. Hope you like being enslaved, our bones will bear your weight as you
march to your grave.

Then, when I thought of more questions, I asked them. In this way I sought to

You know how we select from amongst our number electors and representatives
who vote on our behalf?
Truly an excellent strategy in the era of instant communication, an aft-gone
luxury that our ancient forebearers surely would have incorporated into their
nationbuilding design, if they had had it.
I can't help but wonder if it would be a useful strategy to "give" our votes
to a representative who voted on our behalf. Most people do not care and
cannot possess the capacity to care about voting, but if they gave their vote
to someone they trusted who they had a personal connection to beyond party
loyalty, then perhaps we could mandate voting
I can't help but wonder what that would do to our electoral landscape. If
voting is mandated, and as easy as pointing at someone and saying "yeah
whatever she picks", then perhaps the old white grannies with quivering lower
lips who stare with hatred whenever a black person walks past and chat with
their gal pals at church wouldn't have as much power over us.

═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────────────
--{{{ introduction
When division is explained at the elementary arithmetic level, it is often
considered as splitting a set of objects into equal parts. As an example,
consider having ten cookies, and these cookies are to be distributed equally
to five people at a table. Each person would receive 10 / 5 = 2 cookies.
Similarly, if there are ten cookies, and only one person at the table, that
person would receive 10 / 1 = 10 cookies.
So, for dividing by zero, what is the number of cookies that each person
receives when 10 cookies are evenly distributed among 0 people at a table?
Certain words can be pinpointed in the question to highlight the problem.
The
problem with this question is the "when". There is no way to distribute 10
cookies to nobody. Therefore, 10 / 0 —at least in elementary
arithmetic—is
said to be either meaningless or undefined.
- wikipedia, division by zero, 7-12-23
alright I have several problems with this. I like the idea of dividing
cookies, but I disagree with their conclusions. So dividing by integers works
as
they say, but division by zero is a little different - they say "the problem
with this question is 'when'" when in reality 'when' is the same for this
question as it is for any of the others. Obviously, zero is just a number. Why
would this be any different? The computational actions necessary to complete
this statement all occur at the same time, because they are by definition
immutable. You cannot change any equation, you only generate new ones.
Okay so here's my thinking. To answer the question "what is the number of
cookies that each person receives when 10 cookies are evenly distributed among
0
people at a table?" we simply have to answer the question. "How many cookies do
I get?" well, none, because you weren't at the table. In fact nobody was at the
table, so the result is that nobody got zero cookies.
You might even say you have a remainder of 10 cookies, as none of them were
distributed.
10 / 0 = 0 remainder 10
^^^ that's how I think it should be. I have an algorithmic justification, and
excuse me as I don't have a mathematical proof or anything. Math was never my
strong suit, there's too many symbols and strange names for obvious operations
that get in the way of the abstract big picture.
ahem...
abstract:
Given: x = 13 / 3 what is x?
step 1: convert 13 to base 3
step 2: digit shift right by 1
step 3: convert back to binary
--}}}
--{{{ step 1:
v
start with the binary number 1101 which is 13 in decimal. To convert to a base
3
number, \___________________.
\ |
first start with the Least Significant Bit (LSB) which is 1. So our
base-3 number starts with 0001.
v
Next, move to the next bit: 1101
^-----It's a zero so we can skip it.
Which means our
base 3 number remains unchanged as "0001"
v
Next, move to the third bit: 1101
^-----It's a 1, which evaluates to 4 in decimal,
meaning we should add 4 to our base 3
number
base 3
4 in base 3 is "11", which means we 0001 <----- 1 in decimal
should have a base 3 number of "12" now. +0011 <----- 4 in decimal
=0012 <----- 5 in decimal
\_________ 2? -> yes,
base 3
remember?
Next, move to the fourth and final bit: 1101
^ --it's a 1, which evaluates to 8 in
0012-----.____________ decimal. 8 in decimal is "22"
in
+0022-----. \ base 3, which means we
need to
=0111 \ T---- add "22" and "12" in base 3

step 2: to 0111 in base 3.

bit shift |0111| to the right,

|0011|--->1 underflow
.----.
meaning the base 3 number is now 0011 with an underflow (remainder) of 1
step 3:
convert back to binary, meaning 0011 in base-3 becomes 4 in decimal or 0100 in
binary. Store the underflow as the remainder.

okay that's great and all, but what does this have to do with dividing by zero?
great question, me. I have two questions I want to pose to you:
1. what happens when trying to divide by 1 with this algorithm?
- you convert to base 1
\
wait hang on base 1? Sounds made up... Well, its
not!
or at least if it is, then I'm the one who made it
up
so... yeah

okayyy how does base 1 work?

@user-211 I agree! The problem is the limit as x->0 from the left and right
trend toward different infinities, meaning it's neither -infinity nor
+infinity. Which makes me think that it's the value that's exactly in the
middle, AKA zero.
Why wouldn't 1/0 be zero? Division is just inverse-multiplication, and
multiplying anything by zero is zero. Why wouldn't division use the same
rules? I don't understaaaaaand T.T

@user-1071 I have the opposite problem, where my ideas come too quickly and
they're gone before I can implement. I think I'd prefer to burn out TBH
because burning out just means an inexcusable output of energy (in return for
not-enough-learning)

Hey, how difficult was it to set up the kind of streaming you did yesterday?
You said it was RSTMP or something like that? What should I google, I kinda
want to set it up on my system : )

seriously a microphone and a raspberry pi for each apartment would solve like
90% of your insurgency problems
problem is it's highly unethical, so, only an unethical governing body would
do such a thing.
HMMMM CAN YOU THINK OF ANY OF THOSE? GEE I SURE CAN'T

Do you ever wonder why you can't remember anything after being stoned? Why the
words you write down, oh so profound in the moment, turn to silliness and
illusion upon coming off your high mont-vantage? Of course, dear reader,
because all things are defined in waves.

Did you know that any wifi chip can be used as both a sender and a receiver?
how do you think you'd get data in and out of the device?
trick is... you don't actually need a router. How fun is that!

if you're trying to counter this leap-frog style tactic, hit them from the
back partner's flank
as the forward person is advancing, they'll watch left and right as they come
around corners and such.
however, the back person needs to always be covering them in case of an enemy
from the front (the most likely place where enemies will be) so they spend
less time looking to the sides.
also, encirclement is the most efficient way to overcome enemies. otherwise
you become entrenched as forward momentum halts, and you get Ukraine.
Don't get Ukraine.
We must secure a cleansing blow.
Against the far right. There is no greater plight.

We all knew capitalism was the Titanic headed for the iceberg. Did you know
the Titanic might have survived if they had reversed one propellor and turned
the other to max? But they didn't. They thought they could coast by.
It was larger underneath the water.
Capitalism would have destroyed us. We couldn't dismantle capitalism with
Kamala. This *had to happen*, and even if you don't believe that then trust
that we are where the fascists say we are. And we will fight back.
