like a king who dictates on high, the taller the chair the farther the fall.
how simple is it, when everyone trusts you, to betray the wishes for direction
they grant upon you. By leveraging their direction to forward your own ends,
you are depriving them of the liberty to choose their own ends.
how cruel is it! to be the reason for distrust! alas, who can you go to for
guidance if not anybody you trust?

if you have in-door camera systems, they can disrupt those and they give you

EDIT: also they're trained to always check after opening a door for any fallen
markers and such - like, leaving a piece of paper between the door and the
frame and if it's fallen when you return home, you know someone has been
through that way - and if they notice anything like that they replace it.

Nobody will tell you what to do, at least not until you ask. Be where they can
see you, and you'll be given a task. If you can do it, say "BRB" - one moment,
let me handle that for you.
If you can't, say "good luck", and they'll find someone else who can.
It's okay to pass a task off - if someone says "Here's what I need, gotta go"
then you say "sure, yeah, I'll get someone on it" - then, go find someone to
do it.

alternatively, when you initiate an SSH session it sends you a randomized
public key whose private key is the password that you need to login. By
decrypting the string of text it sent you and sending it back (plus the
password at the end or whatever) you can ensure secure authentication without
bothering with the passwordless keys which are wayyyyyy more trouble than
they're worth and lack the "something you know" authentication method.

less important in a place like a suburb because the sight-lines are pretty

more important in a city or the country, where there are plenty of long-range

one difference between fantasy and reality is that in fantasy, when you fail,
you try again.
in reality, when you fail, you are promoted so your boss doesn't have to deal
with your shit.
in fantasy, when you succeed, you are tasked with greater trials
in reality, when you do well, you are given more of the same.

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 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.

Your body is a river, from your mouth to your exits
Throughout there are many pathways and shores
As the tide goes up, the color of concentration goes up
And all four of you are made clear
Each act of consumption
is a ride down the river,
though broken into slivers,
and changed beyond recognition
The color is what defines the third eye
and beauty is beheld, what joys to be felt
While secrecy is bold, it's often held
So worry less and just go with the fold

the longer we wait, the more their hypocrisy becomes apparent, and the more

but, uh... I think enough people get it. They at least know something is going
on, whatever it may be.
they will tell their base whatever they want to hear and their base will have
hate. they're itching for it.
volunteer for things if you want a say in how they turn out. risk your life to
live longer. there is no way to know when the time is right because nobody
knows the truth of our times. Even the president is misled.
gee I sure wish there was like, some form of centralizing intelliagentic
knowledge that pulled the strings and led us puppets toward liberty, justice,
and freedom for all (as a baseline) surely they'd be able to see the
corruption and rot that imperils us all, might they have a better design? who

the fact that you have to configure your router in order to do any sort of
web-hosting at all is one of the fundamental reasons why the internet looks so
lame and corporate.
if anyone could download a program and start a gallery style file-server with
all their wedding pictures then why the fuck would you need to upload them to
imgur?
alas, people are too dumb to open ports. plus, every router has a different UI
design, so it's not like you can write a guide. What happened to making things
as easy as possible for the user?
"technical limitations" are failures of imagination. we can do better than

if you're meeting a friend from out of town the first time, it's best if they
arrive early and you have the day off to show them around.
or if they arrive late, you can meet them in a public place the next day and
then spend time at your favorite spots.
ideally, with people who would recognize you if the person from out of town
decided to be hurtful and/or replace you.
plus, that way you can gauge their character
and decide whether or not you want them in your own home.
they might be different than they are online, after all.

They may return to us if they choose, when they realize that we were right all
along.
Otherwise, they might feel disenfranchised and choose to disengage. That is
expected and allowed.
Others amongst them might go right. Fuck 'em, they always cared for gold over
lives.
You are right, their methods have not worked. They have sustained our society
up to this point and for that I thank them - but we are entering a new age for
our country, and we shall build it as a federation.
They are more than welcome to observe and offer insight from their years spent
observing and wrestling with Republicans, but understand that much of their
insight is dealing with their elite class of politicians and not with who you
and I might come across on the street.
They are encouraged to learn from us. To do otherwise is at best to neglect
our only route to a bright future - at worst it is to obstruct us, to delay
us, to keep us running in circles.
Find the people who are sabotaging our efforts and move on

the first initiates the conversation, and sets up an encrypted line. It
