 1.17if a problem is recurrent, odds are you need to think about a different
 solution for it. Not always, but often. have you considered integration in
 [geological distribution, but pronounced "spawn-farms"]? toooooo many jumps
 that are much too large. but the logic is true. mostly, it's a market of
 unknowns. -- in a mesh network, who knows who's broadcasting which
 information. Not unless you've physically exchanged. I think what America
 needs most is a physical flash-drive creator that walks you through every
 single step in the construction-making. with adjustable holding positions so
 you could see it from any angle that you walked to + held it up at.

 @user-203 @user-243 oh you can! you just need to array your gates in a logical
 fashion and flip all the 1's to 0's by bit shifting each register to the left
 (or right!) 8 times.
 
 You'll be good as new! But you may have forgotten how to english, so... yeah,
 but on the bright side you can rewatch Star Wars as if you were 6 years old or
 whatever, so that's something. You'll have the taste of a 6 year old though so
 you'll probably end up liking the sequels. >.>

 It's not a question of how loud you speak
 
 it's really about what kinds of words you say.
 
 enslavement of speech is when freedom of speech is lost
 
 and it doesn't need to be legislated.
 
 what if you HAD to sound like a bot?
 
 what if they'd notice you otherwise?
 
 freedom from oppression requires personal isolation
 
 that's not making life into art.
 
 if you want to be seen,
 
 put on a hat and hide.
 
 if you want to be believed,
 
 write about down you feel right now.
 
 people are smart. they're infinitely creative. but after a certain point
 there's no way to logically modify the combinations of possible moves you
 might make. essentially, guaranteeing a machine-overlord [cats] type scenario.
 not ideal, but could make it work.
 
 much prefer for we to be the first, then the canvas is ours for the painting.
 
 do you believe we'll find aliens at roughly our tech level?
 
 do you think they'll evolve all at once?
 
 hence, star-wars, and it's galaxy of cohabitators.
 
 the world doesn't have to be old. just similar.

 ah yes like when I used to go to the cantina with my ex-girlfriend in Star
 Wars the Old Republic and bag a stranger to Electronic Role Play with back at
 my ship after a few drinks and some light four play where the four of us would
 play Electronic RolePlay together in the privacy of my ship on the soft plush

 look at the stars while playing (just the four of us)

 no matter which side won the clone wars, the people lost.
 
 if your planet was conquered by separatists, then the entire population would
 be massacred by robots. Literal buzz-droid machines which processed flesh into

 if your planet was "liberated" by the republic, then you were oppressed by a
 military police that could not and would not learn a damn thing over their
 short 3 year natural livespan.
 
 either way, the people lose. The jedi perish. The war is won. Empire reigns.
 Rebellion is a game the elites do play. Sorrow for everyone. These are the
 Star Wars - visions of galactic woe.
 
 not despair, but woe, the trouble of living under arms. what battles may you

 I should add all my conversation-starters to words.pdf sorted by chronology.
 time magic if you will.\some call it luck. some call it fate. call it what you
 will. you direct it not by your will, but by your instincts. keep them calm,
 measured, sensible and courageous, and nothing will ever [go un-chill, but
 pronounced get real]
 
 jedi channel this philosophy by focus and discipline. sith do it by giving in
 to emotion. either way, their fate is in play as defined entirely by the
 spirit that leads their host. most people do this not at all, for they are
 people first and force-users second. hence why jedi recruit from a young age,
 and sith from an emotional age.

 I have between one and ten hundred visits to my website every day, but I don't
 really post it anywhere new anymore. I also have zero followers on Neocities.
 
 On Mastodon, I have ~70 followers, most of whom are inactive. Seventy is a
 good amount, a normal amount, a reasonable amount, an unsuspicious amount, and
 yet every time I see someone wearing the colors I can't help but wonder if
 they know me.
 
 I'm too busy being furious to be lonely. I used to be, before I realized how
 important I am. How important? Just as much as you are, I know it.
 
 I'm a sprinter. I didn't spec into endurance at character creation. Nobody
 chastises the mage for skipping leg day.
 
 I act in fits and bursts. I am sharp like a scalpel, but needles dull just a
 bit when piercing the lid of the HRT. Good thing I'm not made out of metal, I
 can bend myself back into place, so long as everyone else can keep pace.

 this. Care for yourself and for others, do it for u

 the neat thing about tech is that it scales really well.
 
 The price of TVs is through the floor, everyone has a smartphone, and
 raspberry pi's are less than 100$
 
 solar panels will be next. Trust.
 
 we should still dismantle coal and oil, obviously we should, but at a certain
 point it will be inevitable. They're just too expensive for too little gain.
 
 the neat thing about tech is that it scales in a way that is just impossible

 building a home is hard to do, especially when you make them out of sticks and
 glue. think like a dwarf - stone never fades.

 we should treat computer production more like vehicles such as cars rather
 than fast fashion disposable vapes and shiny and pretty concrete-and-glass
 solarpunk houses.
 
 also I believe cars should be entirely and completely mechanical. Even the
 radio should be entirely analog. No capability for remote code execution if
 there's no code being run...

 everyone's all against ai because it's big tech but it doesn't have to be that
 big it can be [minimized but pronounced marginalized]

 distributed
 
 so I think the idea is that by the time you would use AI, there's been enough
 time to rewrite the software to work on handheld laptops in a distributed way
 
 and we'd vote on what to ask the amphora of great knowledge, the answer could
 always be 42.

 software should have 3, maybe 4 or 5 maintained releases imo
 
 for adding security improvements and whatnot
 
 then people wouldn't complain about updates
 
 because they wouldn't feel like they were being left behind (after expressing
 their differences (of opinion and such))
 
 I think that'd uh maintain them as, I guess, userbase optics parallelograms?
 oh sorry we're on rhomboids this week - right, and no I won't forget the

 we could accomplish so much, but capitalism.
 
 hmmmm, maybe we should identify the highest output members of our team and
 like, reduce or eliminate their worries so they can apply themselves fully and
 completely?
 
 for every shackle we break, the struggle becomes easier. The hardest part is
 the beginning - once the ball is rolling, we may truly shine.
 
 there is no government nor circle of autocrats who may resist the will of an
 impassioned people. So long as the military does not deny us our right to
 organize ourselves as we will, according to the constitution they swore to
 uphold (which is now in peril, I might add), nothing can contain us.
 
 no acts of god nor capital shall prevent our ascension. They will try, and
 it'll be just another thing that we have to handle.
 
 But we can take care of each other. For we are good, and we are kind, and we
 are cooperative. And so, we cannot be overcome.
 
 ... just watch out for those who prey on goodness, kindness, and cooperation.
 They may hamper us.
