Portland's metro is nice because you can pay for your train / bus ticket by
scanning your card. Downside is you can't pay for anyone else that way, which
prevents people from helping those who don't pay

suburbs aren't boring because all the cool people live in cities,
suburbs are boring because all the cool people don't know you. But look
around, because they're there.
if you can't find any, then YOU are the cool people, and you should find the
slightly-less cool people and show them how to be cool.

people can't compel you to give gifts, that's why they're gifts. which is why
a gift economy can't be all, because sometimes you need something now.

you can only ever talk to a community while on mainstage.
er wait sorry it was this:
you can only ever talk to people in a community, not the community itself.
unless you are on mainstage.

What if all trains were required by law to have an empty passenger cart? That
anyone could ride for free with no ticket and no registration or tracking or
anything. You gotta jump on tho so it's still dangerous.

it's a nice place to be. Rent's cheaper than portland, so I hear, because of
the taxes or whatever.

Portland in the modern era gives me pre-revolution Philly vibes. Seattle,
Boston. New York, SFC.
And not JUST because of their relative locations, but somehow that helps a bit.

would be nice if the Fediverse wouldn't let you post something on Mastodon
unless you filled out a content warning for it.
sorta like a post title on Reddit, allowing people to say "nah I don't feel
like reading something from X perspective right now"

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.
