. Yes? No? Maybe?

things don't work when mostly 1 way...
Mastodon included... right?

You achieve only limited change / effect when it's not 2 way and if together-talking more often doesn't happen (online or offline talking).
To become better speakers / expressers / creators....

Means starting to talk about this point itself! . More arenas to get people practising and sorting stuff...

Otherwise people start to get disheartened proportionately...

. Yes? No? Maybe?

Not everyone can see it from your eyes and sometimes IT SURPRISINGLY the opposite - they can't pretend you're genuine or don't know how to be friends / trust / test / even have fun in learning.

So a bit of "do it yourself anyway' is needed instead of waiting... while measuring how to spend your energy wisely or just to yourself. Just don't expect even a thank you.

Just make sure the work is quality, can last, be transformed and doesn't short-change your work or people because you can safely assume THE WHOLE design of life is short-changing people even if people don't mean it (similar to how the work finishes and so are you somewhere when life should be a lot more inclusive)....
How your language works or the habits pushed around (usually financially) all reflect what I mean.

You literally just have to know what's right in yourself mostly or only and be able to say it when asked, hoping people are genuine, and *maybe* prepared to accept your truth, test it out and bend and bow to you a bit in mutual celebration.

They might naturally be against you but have to bulldoze through that and go for the long-term!

Not saying "do things without asking", but after asking a bit and waiting you have to imagine the bus is already leaving and people will catch up later... and yes there might be another bus 🚌 ... but also judge if people are NEVER READY until PUSHED and he 'right' bus for them is maybe never leaving / never ready to jump in the water, so you have to do it yourself / walk the whole way / take the high road (whatever metaphor!) !

... INDIRECTLY OR PERHAPS NOT DO IT YOURSELF AND SOMETIMES PUSH PEOPLE AND DON'T ACCEPT BEING SHORT-CHANGED!

(P.S. DON'T PUSH PEOPLE UNDER THE BUS.... UNLESS IT METAPHORICALLY HARMLESS!!).

@s3rvant This look like a great place (have 0 idea where or what it is) and wanted to ask, almost from envy from things bring people together like this, almost "why" do you like this (maybe for you but can generalise)... is it the imagination, design, characters, focus on a game together (like Pokemon etc or whatever)

and on the other side could you say about the game time, takes so long usually or is so complicated / able to make errors so yeah maybe like all things needs depth... but does seem like most are literally not 'pick up and play' more 'spend the first week needing hardcore learning and after you learn you have to teach your whole community!!! So weeks before you play with various people's ability needed in between life.... Aaaanyway I mean well in asking about how nice it is aesthetically but tough to play sometimes which you note with Cyberpunk 2077... how long is long - few hours right? #boardgames #gaming

My Hit-List is below....

⚔️ Our lack of outlet and emotional ability to fight nicely NEEDS to be answered... by our hero's proclaiming and actually aiming for the same things too... so the usual one-way only DOES NOT WORK... 1️⃣way doesn't work in society / change / education ETC... in fact I'm aiming for the opposite... and we all need help in that and stop being so protective...

Learning and being constantly let down is part and parcel of learning (never having enough contact with our idols) so see these guys I've listed for that...

A humourous take is below:
🎵 https://bin.dembased.xyz/freeschool-emotionsarefun-everyoneneedstotalktogether.mp3 🎵

So these are those who I suggest you contact and I will be covering more and more with the more normal communication doesn't work and we realise THIS is the problem as lack of communication or methodology is the issue (we have enough education or principles)

So we can't all do things alone and leaving the lesser people behind (we need mostl people doing more of the work)
So that's why it's ok to moan because it's asking for help!) ... !!!

❗ ❗ ❗ ❗ ❗ ❗ ❗ ❗ ❗ ❗ ❗ ❗

I want to say in an audio I'm also going to do things a differently because being too serious doesn't work... because we're losing creativity, humour, relativity... Everyone can be 'too extreme' or annoying when others are *never* helping them be relative to them... It's almost like separating yourself while claiming to educate... it's Ubuntu ("I am as we are" or similar)...

In short, I have collected all the best things - and that makes the best look flawed...! NOT THEIR FAULT 100% but sometimes they know and don't say why... so here's a link on a funnier take on that:

🎵 https://bin.dembased.xyz/freeschool-emotionsarefun-everyoneneedstotalktogether.mp3 🎵

=============
NOTES:
=============
(Nearly 0 women or female/male/LGBTQ+ involved more personally so please communicate a bit more - lots of good work I see but not this talking and sorting things out... some boot replacers and others doing great work! Just none of this relationship building stuff I've managed out of them... just more internal circling and komputa-only work as if perhaps they are emotionally-attached to computers more than spiralling out to actual people... :[

Overall I'm in for making our communication a lot more 'together' and allowing for emotions to be ironed out (emotions are part of everything that Capitalism trained us to cut out... anyway sort emotions and sort life out basically (get better quality people by sorting it out more head on) and stronger apes form)...

So in terms of 2 unique things:

1 + 1 thing never = 2 exactly
(1 unique thing is not the same as the other 1 unique thing and there are lots of 'remainders' or characteristics that are un-ignorable / else you start working towards a bit of the #fascist spectrum a bit like #Maths looks at things)

==============
APPLES AS EXAMPLE:
==============
Typically apples are a 'good example'... to say that 2 tiny things are the same...

BUT EVEN 2 apples are different in shapes, states, locality, insects and ecosystem origins... which if trying to measure as 1 but not measuring 100 other things, you have to agree means the measurement is wrong and ignorant (purely from scientific viewpoint).

The same as I would measure you as "1 person" means eventually you might say "hey I'm not just your definition" , why? Because you are much more than just my opinion of valuation of 1 and your existence, interactions, values as part of everything else or extended interactions IS MUCH MORE THAN I SEE.

Basically all is quite endless and priceless as value - we are part of each other and looking at only 1 small things is often incorrect if not valuing it all especially reducing it into limited-language of #Mathematics.

If you agree apples are not identical then imagine zooming out much more than apples and trying to judge things (like measuring people) and this shows how there is even more difference the more you might try (or as people would like to measure but can't).

As you zoom out or try measure anything more than 2 isolated apples, let's say many apples or many kinds of things.... you are immediately missing out the characteristics and things around + the bigger picture and relativity ignored, both as unique and 'standard' types of ;things; and how "we" the on=-looker are looking at them. (like how a government would look uncaringly unto their peasants)

Summary
Things are mostly unique and also being in a unique time, place, space too makes attempted calculation immediately incorrect / less justified.

Injustice for example can come from me immediately by saying your own this 1 thing. Just a "road worker" and not much more limits your potential.

The goal as I see it, would be to accept the opposite, that you are everything else and full of much more potential than my limited perspective.

Thoughts welcome. #STEM #Mathematics #Science #Inaccurate #Measurement ?

Much love.

That is the question.

Earlier contact I think is better if you're serious about change because "in the future" contact will certainly have more unwanted elements or constrictions.... so better now than later.

AND I / you won't be here in the future and I don't know if next generation is going to show up.

Time to Talk it out is now... and promise not to want to hurt each other.

This is a more humorous artistic form of what I mean seriously:

#AndrewWeil is an American physician and popularizer of alternative and integrative medicine.

Weil was the only child of parents who owned a millinery supply store. As a child, he developed a strong interest in #plants, which he said he inherited from his mother and grandmother. After graduating from high school in 1959, Weil, on a full scholarship from the #American Association for the United Nations, travelled around the world learning about other cultures and their practices. He then entered Harvard University, majoring in biology with a concentration on the ethnobotany of medicinal plants and graduating cum laude in 1964. He entered Harvard Medical School, not with the intention of becoming a physician but rather simply to obtain a medical education. In 1968 he received a medical degree, although the Harvard faculty had threatened to withhold it because of a controversial marijuana study #Weil had helped conduct in his senior year.

In 1969 Weil worked briefly at the drug studies division of the National Institute of Mental Health but resigned in order to pursue personal research ambitions. In 1971 he obtained a grant from the Institute of Current World Affairs to study altered states of consciousness in Latin America. He also wrote about the effects of drugs on the mind in The Natural Mind: A New Way of Looking at Drugs and the Hig##her Consciousness (1972). In this book Weil suggested that altered states of consciousness were innate to the human nervous system and that drugs or other stimuli merely catalyzed them. In a subsequent work, Chocolate to Morphine: Understanding Mind-Active Drugs (1983), Weil aroused the ire of a Florida senator, who demanded that the book, a veritable encyclopaedia of various drugs and their effects on humans, be removed from schools and libraries.

In Health and Healing: Understanding Conventional and Alternative Medicine, also published in 1983, Weil contended that current medical practices were more curative than preventive, too expensive, and too reliant upon drugs, surgery, and technology. In his vision of health care in the future, Weil saw a shift toward preventive therapies, the understanding of the benefits of using natural drugs in diluted forms, and a better understanding of the connection between mind and body. Weil founded the Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona in 1994. The centre was devoted to developing integrative treatments for a wide range of conditions as well as to educating medical professionals about the benefits of integrative medicine.

In Spontaneous Healing (1995) and 8 Weeks to Optimum Health (1997), Weil advocated a mix of herbal medicine, good nutrition, and a healthful lifestyle. In his later writings—including Eating Well for Optimum Health (2000), The Healthy Kitchen (2002; written with chef Rosie Daley), Healthy Aging (2005), and Spontaneous Happiness (2011)—Weil continued to promote the concepts of healthy diet and lifestyle. In Mind over Meds (2017), he examined the problem of overmedication and provided alternatives to drugs.

Weil often attracted criticism, especially from within the medical field. Some claimed that his suggested treatments lacked scientific evidence, while others raised questions about his commercial ventures. Notably, Weil’s Web site included a vitamin-recommendation feature that some alleged overprescribed nutritional supplements to promote sales of his vitamin line.

🌱 Eating what grows 🌱 from nature works / I've tested and saved almost all my food bill !

From manure, simply left in one place, grows something like a spinach-looking tree - has small leaves, easy to harvest!...

Reminds me of this scene in the movie (shows #mushrooms but could be many things growing from manure). Audio is Eng+Rus so let me know if you have better link but image shows growth from manure basically:

🎞️ Fantastic #Fungi (movie doc)

https://invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=WlGFJkC_NSc&t=26m28s

⬆️ ⌚ auto-starts at 26.08min⌚ ⬆️

So I'm eating a bit like our first ancestors walking planet that might have found things growing naturally on it's own left alone and from manure piles (I had much more like few wheel barrows), which are similar to how fast and hard nettles grows so well everywhere... but what I have is more easier to manage (no stings) and leafy small trees/weeds + easy to strip #leaves (can leave the stem even to let more leaves regrow)!

So,.... easy #gardening !
I eat nettles and this small stem tree thing...

I have have some pics that I'll add but mobile doesn't connect via usb right now... so if you have manure, you might know or can try it!

Being too nice perhaps doesn't work or accordingly doesn't get attention... so I thought about being less nice...

(Video for it's "Changing the fundamental way we operate" + doing different to the Capitalistic ways" i.e. non-communication / not caring...)

==============
SO WHY THIS VIDEO?
==============

I am considering ripping into people more measurably online and make them my material (also as a compliment and bring focus to their material). to do some of what is in the short video above to do something that gets attention. Not just being "nice" even though you see that on forums and totally stifles things where *with reasoning* I think is worth ranting and working it out measurably (paradox but better overall than silence).

So to "sort something out" perhaps for me IS 'communication' itself online.
Especially by those advertising or trying to do similar things (mutual), but don't act like it (or even respond <---- this mostly).

Or like #RMS just respond on what he likes and then don't even respond on other stuff while trying for a 'human' respecting movement. LOL it's not just computers and this seems to be a united infatuation which humans could be more in the picture of.

I'm happy to take constructive critique right now before I use my powers - so better before than after... but after I guess after will do... as people ONLY complain. That's weak in terms of participation.

So don't complain if you're never involved in replies or want to avoid things... let's sort the fucking situation out....

Getting called out for it... might better so I appreciate seeing how this experiment goes... Notice is served at least.

Yours Truly... <=== and I mean being True and writing the Truth whatever that is.

"Don’t Pay for Dirty Water" campaign #UK thoughts?

#Question - What do you think of this as a strategy - which is loosely to complain and not pay... or complain and delay in order to get attention (financially withholding payment) and stuff fixed / situation improved as possible result?
