shoutout to russia for trying their best to make american politicians retarded before climate change bullshit really kicks off ig
border patrol gets crueler and more emboldened under trump, under harris they'd get expanded in really scary ways, i think a pig as president couldve been scarier than the celebrity fascist long term at least. border patrol getting funded in a way that prepares them for climate change refugees instead of the american gestapo that could be a target for resistance i think is a lot worse for a lot more people when shit ramps up
cows got out of the pasture and into the yard so i spent a while out there with them to keep an eye on them. they seem to be really happy being able to interact with the more varied terrain of the yard and obv enjoyed some of the areas of more overgrown grass and it wasnt too hard to get them to come back in with treats so i think i'm going to make it a habit to take them on walks around the yard. was nice to be able to watch them for a while. santiago clearly wants to play sometimes but idk how to play in a way that he wants. he'll like put his head down in a way that makes me feel like he wants me to push back on it but i can never do it in a way that seems to be satisfying for him. if you like grazing animals you should have infinite rage at a world that produces so many fences, these guys should be honored guests in your land, not a possession to be kept safe in a pen. infinite genocide to farmers
@PallasRiot i didnt say that, i specifically said everyone uses that word differently but you shouldnt be trying to exceptionalize this state of affairs when it's imminent to all of state society
@PallasRiot i would argue this isnt a "fascism" thing it's just where the state is headed in general but everyone uses fascism differently. i just dont think this dynamic of the state should be exceptionalized to the particularly bad ones when this type of enclosure has been steadily chugging along, like look at what the results of increasing specialization bears (in tandem with property norms) and what in the actual fuck is "intellectual property" lmao
when did "advertiser friendly" turn into not only, literally no swearing on the internet ever to literally no sign of conflict disagreement or hostility? their ought to be a series of cultural revolution witch hunts dedicated to eradicating WASPs and things that act like them holy shit, you literally cant talk on the internet anymore without getting karened by the moderation features of the website itself or the hivemind security system of mindless norm enforcers. "advertiser friendly" used to mean no coke ads being played ahead of random isis beheading videos, not forcing everyone into talking like a baby for these fucking christian freaks. the entire concept of "swear words" is something thats imposed on children to create nono words that you're allowed to abuse them for using because they're non persons, but these christian littlespace(derogatory) freaks impose this norm on literally everyone because normal emotional/social development for these types gets stunted to keep them perpetually in kindergarten to help justify authority over themselves and others (this is why they're all basically latent pedos and that's why the taboo around pedophillia is what it is btw, they "suppress" it with guilt and projection and it lets them fixate on and justifies (to them) having insane control over children and other nonpersons). growing up i thought the concept of swearing was on the way out like a lot of other christain trash shit but literally anything that helps justify censorship is integrated into the machine and imposed on everyone as long as you retards can be made to feel guilty about it
can we just get this bronze age collapse over with? i'm tired of talking to appendages that arent going to make it, it's such a waste of time all just for the extremely small chance i find something sentient. whenever i'm in any space me making any sort of signal to attract something more capable of thinking always gets a whole swarm of what are effectively security guards just barking at me to ward off people from interacting with me, hurting themselves on me and claiming grievance so they can try to get me banned from wherever for not constantly speaking in a tone that makes WASP types feel comfortable. i'm made out to be "looking for trouble" when i call a spade a spade and call a stupid argument that's just meant to waste time and signal that i'm not part of the ingroup & should be harassed what it is. no matter what space i'm in these freaks will respond to a long considered argument that directly refutes the logic of some commonly held belief in a space (that usually only serves to entrench the people who have power in those spaces power) with flashing rank or making an argument based on an external authority, using my tone to indicate that i'm mentally unsound, repeating their own argument and then speculating about my motivations for wanting to argue against someone being wrong on the internet usually making the implication that actually i'm just jealous of the ingroup, like i really wish i could integrate but cant because i'm too unpleasant or something. i'm also not supposed to point out when someone is making an argument that doesnt follow or when they start making shit up about what i think. highlighting this intentional illiteracy is considered a foul play and you're supposed to just keep the conversation going and if you dont then the whole conversation becomes speculating about your motivation for caring about the subject matter at all. these are not people, this is a security system for a community of consumers or cultists trying to preserve an insanely petty amount of power on reflex. trying to guard the fortress of a king they've never seen or met. but all are trained to murder at the first sign of a threat
@aisling people without power enforce gender on other people all the time. gendered norms are largely enforced by peers even if the initial orders come from above. incredibly reductive view that plays into trying to create good guys and bad guys when the reality is most people are horribly oppressive to each other all the time
@Remigius they're friends
need to finish up the rock pile still so that should be taller. i'm thinking on the underside of the wall of trying to grow some trees for vining things to learn to climb on. left some longer grasses in a section of the garden for a bit of habitat, and i havent really cleared out the beds that were already there of random grasses or put extra chips on them, still kinda undecided on what to do with them. there are a bunch of roses in the garden already and i'm going to get a couple different varieties of blackberries growing in a number of spots so it's going to be a pretty thorny garden but that should mean a lot of cool habitat. there's like 9 or so independent grape vines growing in there, the majority being in two clusters visible in the first two pics. really wanna get all these chips covered by a ground cover (hopefully a lot of strawberries) as soon as i can so i dont have keep watering the soil/chips to keep it hydrated as much.
grinding to disappear
