resolve the situation or plight.
Maybe also reduce the demands for on-sight judges so strong young candidates

Emotions are like waves lapping upon the side of a ship in a storm. In that
they are tumultuous and often going toward the wrong. But the ship is built
for this and it sustains weathermanship
Right so anyway I'm saying sometimes the buildings on fire at the same time
there's a crime scene in there and then the guys who can jump the highest are
better fit for what's goin' down.

if you want to build an alibi, do something strange and consistent like
smoking some random drugs from a homeless guy's encampment and then going
between the four corners of an intersection and it's sidewalk for a day or
two. Surely, someone's gonna drive by with a dash-web-cam, and they can take a
picture as they pass by. Boom, dated for this time and place, there's your
space.
downside is, if the people watching you see you on the same path all day, they
might watch you too. So sometimes in roughly optimized ratios it's better to
do so even if you don't need to be seen in a time and place in a way that
seems commonplace.
walk to work? great, that sounds fun.
(nobody wants to do that)
(also falsifying alibis is a crime)
okay, so... don't do that. Just... trust that SOMEONE will drive past with a
dash-web-cam, and maybe it'll find it's way to you if you ever need it in a
court of law or otherwise. lots of ways to have a court. you know if your
peers hang out in your court, they become your courtiers...

what if Trump controlled x% of the land (according to electoral college votes)
and kamala controlled y% of the resources (according to popular vote) and they
each could do whatever they wanted there
the house and the senate in congress would function the same and unite the
two, but anything the president disagreed with they could veto for their
particular pieces of land and it would only affect their constituents.
why should we settle for anything less than legitimate representation,
unclouded by the division and spite?
if some combination of presidential vetos created an impossible situation,
then by law people weren't allowed to interface.

dear god, why don't girls carry around swords? nobody's gonna wanna mess with

answer is that if you notice injustice, you can draw your sword and engage.
"stop, why are you doing this sir" attends to the citizens like a justice
police.|'-> I see, well please step aside so she can pass.]
when people are noticed from their flanks, they tend to panic and disengage.
unless they're in a frenzy or a rage, then they are an uncontrollable storm.
but once it wears off, they are surrounded. frenzies are rare. often glorious
in their flair. hence, why a lady with a sword can help clear the air. in a
crowded room, she approaches when she notices there are enough swords for
those belligerents who are armed. otherwise, she is outclassed.

they want you to start conflicts the way school shooters start conflicts. by
bringing to school a pipe-bong.
much better, I find, to start when everyone is a nod. make sure you're part of
a wagon-wheel-spoke, or else you won't be on the right road.
when the temperature increase is slow, measured, they can adapt to it
when things go "crack" and "crumble", then the armored get stabbed by the
humble guard.
quickly but with serenity, this is the way to the gods.
bring things that you know, just enough to make it even, and focus on the
non-essentials.
better to be prepared than flatfooted.
a flash-point position is quiet a view of the scene! I think I know why I held
a sword.
to dive into the buildings, of course. blam blam still gets shot hmmm what if
I had a bulletproof electric shield
okay maybe I shoulda brought beer.
I don't type things when I'm not at home. Sometimes I remember - sometimes,
and only when the details won't hurt her. Walking is how I know, how she can

we can have games, stories, and practice wars
but none of them are precious
precious implies worth
they are worth nothing but entertainment
no problem solving utility
nothing of value
save for perhaps the spatial awareness and strategization that comes
from being a part of such a deadly ba-lance.
