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.

sometimes I think about how much more productive I'd be if I had a code editor
that let me draw arrows and smiley faces and such alongside the code. Or if I
could position things strangely, like two functions side-by-side with boxes
drawn around them. Or diagrams or flowcharts or graphs or...
something that would output to raw txt format, but would present itself as an
image that could be edited.

I'm such a direct person I think, even though I often just sorta... shrug and

but the moment I notice a pattern that is continually harmful I have to
restrain myself from moving to contest it. Hence why I talk about capitalism
so much teehee, but its also common in my interpersonal and communal lives.
"the purpose of the system is it's effects"
the purpose of a person is how they make people feel
so if someone FOR A RANDOM EXAMPLE FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER, constantly hurts
other people by creating situations where they are harmed which creates a
dramatic fight... or if someone speaks in circles for hours and hours and
HOURS like this guy:

everytime you see one put a post it there that says "can't read braille
without stopping"
draw it in permanent marker (oh wait that's advocating a crime, my b look I
crossed it out)
find the inefficiencies of the system and label them for everyone. Wiki style?
otherwise how will they know.

at this point in time you probably shouldn't be forming NEW online communities
unless you're part of an OLD community that just isn't radical enough. And
then you should try and MERGE communities into larger, more geographically

sometimes the best way to understand why things are the way they are is to ask
why they aren't the way that seems logical to you.
usually someone will correct you and say "oh it's because X Y and Z" and you
say "cool" and change your direction
but sometimes their answers "unlock" part of your past understandings, thus
creating new questions.
Sorta like in a video game when you level up a certain building/research path/
milestone / whatever and it finishes a "tier", thus giving you a larger bonus.
??? yeah so anyway more questions are good because they give you more
perspectives on what's going on around you.

okay how about this - whenever you buy something instead of spending money on
it you actually put down a deposit. Then, when you're done with it, you get
your deposit back, minus a percentage based on the (lazily calculated)
condition of the thing you're using.
Would work best for things with replaceable parts, because otherwise if you
like turn in your phone because some irreplaceable part is missing then you
wouldn't get anything back (except for what the pieces that are replaceable
are worth)
you still own the thing, it's just that you can trade it in for a down payment
on the next one you buy. Or for whatever the heck you wanted. Basically the
system that car's work under, except applied to everything (and maybe run
through the government so there's no need for a profit tax like the kind
predatory car dealerships levy)
I think a system like this would encourage the average person to desire and
seek out consumption options that had replaceable parts and/or were more
durable, which is something

jedi channel this philosophy by focus and discipline. sith do it by giving in
to emotion. either way, their fate is in play as defined entirely by the
spirit that leads their host. most people do this not at all, for they are
people first and force-users second. hence why jedi recruit from a young age,

oh btw to the people trying to doxx me there's a picture of me in this
profile, but you'll have to read a LOT to find it. On the way, see if you pick
up anything interesting that you agree with. maybe you'll realize that we're
on the same team, and should be working together.
that's the dream, at least.

oh uh, yeah it uh aligns towards being "right" which we think means being
"true". and it does this by giving unlimited potential interactions where a
rational being could be convinced to be wrong. owning weapons and knowing how
to use them (not just storing them for safekeeping) is an invitation for equal

I like when people make fun of me because it gives me a chance to defend
myself. Simultaneously I don't like when people are mean to me. I like when
people find me endearing, and point out the ways that I'm different. It gives
me a chance to say "oh yes this is why I do that" which feels cathartic
(because it validates my position) but also because it gives me the
opportunity to improve it (through debate) and it helps the people who learned
from me because I can improve myself and my only reason for improving myself
is if the new thing I'm learning is better than the thing I used to do which
means the people who learn from me are improved and the people who best me
argumentatively are improving me.

if you try to dodge or game this by never doing anything extreme and simply
existing in a medium state at all times, they will develop a moment of
reckoning for you and thus produce an opportunity to react and show your true
self. There is no escape from their judgement, so judge yourself kindly and

it makes sense that I'd gravitate away from dice that are hard to roll when
you're on a hike or bike ride. Can only really play D&D on a bike when
you're in the country though, otherwise the sounds of a city are too noisy.

eone who engaged first with the brain. Like... Electricity could be perceived
from an entirely different direction of reality, and we'd have no way to know.
That's just an example - could do gravity, or light, or any other extremely
elemental thing that we know.

Okay. >.< if you don't like "all things are defined in waves", then how
about this. Stop thinking of reality as a fluid and start thinking of it as a
collection of mutually exclusive yet "gravitic" fields.

tailoring clothes to fit multiple people is easy. Just add buttons at a
certain distance in the direction their bodies grew different. Then, when
donning or doffing the piece of equipment, the various users would button the
clothing system to their bodies at the correct position, rather than whatever
the fabric had been cut to allow.

I am an anarchist. My strategy is to let the DSA be the centralized vanguard
party. If another emerges, let them share responsibilities - every burden
taken off your back is more energy that can be applied to what you are sworn

I don't know about you, but "trying my hardest" involves giving up sometimes.
How else are you to know your limits if you don't test your boundaries? And,
after finding that there's nowhere else for you to go, you turn around and
"give up", until you're ready for your next expedition.
