Then, enter the anger when it is an appropriate anger, something that expects a better world that exists for the thriving of, and cares for the needs of, everyone.
But always refuse to enter the rage.
Rage is punitive.
It has no answer to abuse but more abuse. It has no answer to violence but violence. It looks at a system that exists to consume people, notes that the system is consuming them, and then demands an even more predatory system, one that consumes somebody else first and worst.
Rage’s response to harm is to demand more harm. It's response to punishment is more punishment. Its response to a manufactured lack is to demand more lack.
He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.
Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.
Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software and Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit anyone's ever said, so when people say he's a genius I figured I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.
I did in fact get to just over 36k!
And I have some ideas about an ending. Rather vague ones so far :
good morning, enjoy a crime cat.
#TheCrimeCats say cooperation without coercion is only possible between equals.

Hello mastodon! I have a little jewelry shop! I'm doing my big holiday sale early, you can get 10% off with HOLIDAY23.
Boosts appreciated!!
If you missed it, Germany literally has a crazy obscure bureaucrat in a state government who hates porn, and tries to censor any porn site.
Funny enough, the same men feel too uncomfortable to participate in events encouraging women in CS simply because the room might be more than 70% women. Go to the conferences, talk to people, attend the parties and you will see. As the night proceeds, you will be transported to the Madmen era where drunk old men, professors or company representatives from places such as Google, start unsolicitedly groping some of the handful of women present at the conference parties.
Didn't realize my wireless plan capped tethering speeds, but now it makes sense. When your phone gets ~10-15 mbps and your tethered computer gets .5 or .6 consistently, you know they're screwing w/ the service you paid for.
Welp, I'm ashamed it took me this long to realize, but changing the TTL on my computer seems to have released the throttling.

#nanowrimo Day 18: 35,002 words so far.
I'd like to do at least another 1000 today, but we'll see. Chugging along nicely really! I should really think about an ending haha.
@FtRupertTed Exactly, and how we find some of these KOOL folks. Business like accounts, celeb accounts, fan accounts, one themed accounts, never interested me. I have RSS news readers, I don't need CBC to tweet the news I already know. But if they engage (which some reporters do) I will follow them. Otherwise, I have no interest in accounts that just fill the fediverse up with stuff. I can get that in a Google search. I want real people. Real events. real concerns. No algorithms @SusanHR @rolle
Argh, #HelloFresh seems to have replaced their refreshingly friendly and responsive and convenient and helpful email support with a useless and condescending AI-like front end that can be persuaded to turn you over to a real person via a clunky and cutoff-prone web chat app thing.
Sigh.
A consciousness somehow associated with matter.
Posting about culture, philosophy, politics, AI Art Tools, NaNoWriMo, Software Development occasionally, the relationship of consciousness to matter.
Degrees in Philosophy and Computer Science, once had a US TS/SCI(redacted) clearance, radical-for-the-US politics, ex-Libertarian, zen-buddhist-pantheist-atheist.
Google employee, but I do not speak for Google in any way.
If your profile tells me nothing about you, it's less likely I'll follow you (back).
