 A good way to get people talking is to meet with a stranger and share your
 feelings.
 
 Or, if you're scared of strangers, then try talking with a friend.
 
 "something something SUPREME COURT something whatever CRIMINALIZED PEOPLE blah
 blah blah I WON'T STAND FOR IT"
 
 that kind of thing. Make sure you look at your friend for the loud bits, and
 maybe look at someone else nearby when it's your friend's turn to speak.

 when you're rich with something, you don't treat it with respect. like, if we
 lived in a paper cup maximizer, we'd soon be swimming in the things. obviously
 there needs to be some rules, obviously we need to say "okay here's where we
 produce this amount and type of materials." and have it be a one-way
 relationship. yeah one way isn't gonna work. this is from the other way, and
 now I'm realizing "oh hey I don't know how this thing works" and like... what
 are you supposed to do then right

 idk I think riots are good actually, that's always been my position. like,
 they're bad because they're break stuff, but they're good because they get the
 message across. "don't fuck with us. give us what we need."
 
 haven't been to a protest in a while tho, ever since moving where I am now.
 I'm currently of the mind that protests are great for meeting people to work
 with, and I don't know anyone...
 
 I guess I'm just not very trusting of strangers, but if I know you then I'm
 100% open and honest and I'll do anything you need me to. I like being helpful
 to everyone around me but I don't know what to do when I'm terrified of hidden
 enemies.

 I'd say "content warning: fear-cursed-if-true-not-politics" that way people
 who had "Fear" or "cursed" on their filter list wouldn't see it. Things that
 are commonly content-warning'd are also commonly content-filtered by people
 who tend to be the biggest beneficiaries of healthily designed
 content-warnings. so putting keywords in there that filter out people who
 don't want to see intense or damaging things to their psyche can avoid it more
 easily.

 it might also help with social anxiety because people are aware when they're
 being observed. A lot of people hesitate to speak or contribute on Zoom calls
 because they are inherently scared of being observed, but with this system
 they'll be aware of any observation and can address it. Plus every meeting
 that could have been an email will quickly become apparent since nobody is
 paying attention to the speaker, and they'll realize how much they should
 rethink their approach.

 every file that's permanently stored on my computer so that I can verify in my

 were placed there intentionally and not used to discredit or implicate me in

 their hardest, same as anyone"
 
 And tbh I'd rather see a kid running up and down the aisles than burying
 themselves in an ipad
 
 I think we, as a culture, built our society to demand too many "should"s from
 people.
 
 "I should get a job" "I should study this thing I'm not interested in so I can
 make more money" "I should put out traps for the rabid wolverines so they
 don't start hanging out in my underwear" "I should pick up detergent at the
 grocery store"
 
 Should is useless. Do; or do not. There is no should.

 if you aren't afraid, then either you aren't in danger or you've misjudged
 your opponent.
 
 if you're constantly afraid, then they cannot yet defeat you.
 
 EDIT: either that, or they need you.

 @user-101 eat your heart out, it's halloween! Are you sure one chocolate bar
 will suffice? Perhaps you should run down the street to the shop that's open
 all night, see if you can find some more sweets. You deserve a love that
 doesn't leave you wanting as you do tonight.

 How tremulous is life, how candid our internals
 To think is to have a mind, and minds can be read
 While complexity brings privacy, the distance can be
 vulnerabilizing
 
 To see another is to recognize
 that which unites sentience
 But without comprehension
 We have endless dissention
 
 How careless, how stupid. How vain and obscene.
 To hold another in your mind rent free
 Even worse is to bear us, to endless despairs
 Keep dreaming, kid.
 
 Compassion can be reflective
 in ways that are freeing
 Don't condemn us as defective
 and we can end our fleeing

 if you are upset about Biden and his presentation, remember that he's not
 talking to you. He's talking to suburban dads, to grandmas organizing
 potlucks, to analysts, to the media, to people who watch the news in the
 background 24/7 without paying attention.
 
 these people will hear him, and not you. they have no idea what to prepare
 for, or how soon.

 If you're radical enough to consider yourself "antifa" then you are probably
 working as hard as you can. I wouldn't ask you to do more.
 
 We must demand that others work for our future as well. It is unreasonable to
 demand so much of us. We must be funded and supported if we are to mobilize,
 and we must have the freedom to move and organize if we are to contest our
 enemies.

 great. that's alright. I get it. re-orient, focus on what's important.
 
 wear many hats and you'll do many things. just don't forget to sleep every

 the more you can do in a life the more valued it becomes, so do the right
 thing and keep getting better.
 
 human lives are measured not in bodyweight, but in mystery. The divine can't
 understand benevolence, nor can the devils understand the desire to inflict
 suffering. So they ponder and pontificate as they watch humans wander and
 magnificate.

 Real life is improv, but real life is not a skit.
 
 I am unwilling to give control of my life's scene to someone who won't tell me
 what they want to do with it.
 
 Even if I don't believe you, I'll still give it to you, but I will remain
 cautious and will abandon the scene if it appears that I can trust you to hurt
 me.

 the "village idiot" doesn't need to lack smarts, so long as everyone else is
 in on it.

 "do you hear the people sing" is not the vibe of revolution in modern times.
 
 For us it is a message of kindness, that we might deliver us from the dark.
 
 People singing are easy marks. Don't turn your phone on at night. Fucking turn
 it off. Don't do barricades, don't do broken windows. We need the city in
 working order. We are no longer protesting, we are seizing control. We will
 guide us, trust in the reasonable and heartfelt.

 @user-95 that's why I like programming - it's my favorite form of spelling.
 i'm not very good at remembering all the names and the numbers, but I like to
 think I can make things do a function.
