 Republicans like being self-reliant. You know, so I do too! It comes from
 living in the country, I think.
 
 the difference is, I measure myself on an abstract scale - like, as a family,
 a culture, a society, and finally all of humanity. I want to be reliant on
 nothing, not even nature, wholely empowered by my own arts.
 
 they see only the feet before them, the hands they hold the world with. 
 
 ..
 
 there is honor in their ideals, but they have forgotten who they once were.
 
 social media will do that to ya. especially one of such vitriol.

 when you have power you find that you "don't have to worry about that stuff"
 more and more often. It's liberating, to relinquish a chain.
 
 ah well just take care not to feel shackled by empathy. dear reader, I want to
 liberate all mankind, as a start. We'll get around to the rest of the denizens
 soon enough, if they want it.
 
 "can't want to understand what you don't understand" uh-huh true. That's very

 my biggest blockers right now are that I don't know who else to speak to, and
 I don't know how to make them feel safe when we do speak. Everyone's afraid of
 eyes and ears that they have no knowledge of.
 
 I am unafraid. Nothing that I have is worth relinquishing my right and
 opportunity to defend it. I am just a person, and I will do all that I can.

 heh yeah. In a massive corporation you get half of all three for a total of
 150%, and that half is further divided into 25% good and 25% bad because of
 miscommunication and the perils of massive organizational inertia.
 
 unless you're in the kind of corporation where the MBAs like to get their
 hands dirty. That's the kind of organization that's on a crash course with
 insolvency.

 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.

 a shockingly large amount of people think "if my people were in power,
 things'd be all okay [groupthink]". The truth is more similar than you'd
 expect, because whenever "a group takes over" what really happens is all the
 groups are shuffled, and people find themselves in social bubbles that align
 to their focus in life, and suddenly there's not "[y/our]" side but instead
 "this side and that side" or "that side and this side and that side and this
 side" or "that side and this side and her side and downside and rightside and
 [up/down] and pivot and roll and deploy aieriolons and other things that help
 the pilot guide their flight through the spacesound.

 my policy is that you can come over and hang out whenever you'd like.
 
 let me know first, so I can tell you if I'm busy. You can still come over, but
 you'll have to hang out with me while I do laundry or play video games or
 entertain my other guests.

 That's just how I, an outsider see it based on the single necessarily biased

 🙏 good luck Iran. May fortune favor you. This is your chance to take your
 homes into your own hands. You can do whatever you want with it. Remember your
 history, and learn of what others have done. Then, move forward. But, talk
 about it first. Celebrate, then talk. Find out not just what you want, but
 also what your neighbors want.
 
 During the Arab Spring, the nations with the strongest institutions tended to
 have the most peaceful, stable outcomes. This is because they had less work to
 do. They could rely on the civic infrastructure that was already in place,
 that people were already used to. This is a helpful advantage, but don't be
 too attached to the old regime's way of solving problems.
 
 The goal right now is to celebrate. Then, to ensure safety for your people.
 Look around you - those are your people. Punish the cruel, give forgiveness to
 the penitent, and carry yourself with excitement and grace. This is your day!
 Let the new world embrace your new nation!
