Yeah idk. I spend a inordinate amount of time talking about tides and watching them, but generally only high and low are focused on because the midtide is when the water is changing the fastest. The water spends more time at high or low than it does I. the middle, so it’s not really noticable.

Just out here to marsh people mellows huh?

Some team is getting their bonus by some fucked up metric of engagement and so they are getting points for people scrolling?

Is the dashed line the old model?

Instead I am going to draw a picture of a toe:

I will not.

Oh my god this article lay out. Just put sand in my eyes.

What was their conclusion?

How in the fuck is this organized?

USA, Nigeria, Japan, India?

Blue MAGA thinks they hold the reins

Ahem…

Qgis? (err well, qfield/ qcloud…)

Probably about 10% of what it will cost to rebuild Palestine (assuming that Palestinians aren’t ethnically cleansed from all of Palestine).

I’m not interested if you buy it or not. Liberal democracy, as in, Western liberal democracy was built directly on the back of an era of global colonialism (1500-1700). The decolonialisation of these democracies was a political afterthought, and where and when it occured, it was simply because the resources or people being abused were simply exhausted. And in the rare instances where a group of the colonized razed up against their (also) access to the keys of democracy, they were struck down. Take the example of the Haitian revolution, where a slave population broke the chains of their masters, and were required to effectively pay reparations for their own lives for literally generations. Fundamentally, liberal democracy as a modern philosophical paradigm is a direct extension of settler colonialism. The segmentation of a population into a apartheid state is fundamental to western democracy, where some populations in the system are afforded the liberties associated with liberalism, and other populations are other-ed, not considered to be worthy of liberty, and extracted from, and is a central aspect of all major western “liberal democracies”, even if they out-grew that period later in their history.

Its not something up for debate, so your dissent is irrelevant.

liberalism requires violence

Liberalism required violence because its built on the principal of a class segmentation. So I’m not sure your point is the point you think you are making.

Jabotinsky and Herzl are different schools of thought in Zionism, but its absolute historical revisionism to suggest that the advocate of violence wasn’t foundational to the formation of Zionist philosophy.

Zionism doesn’t mean any of that.

Yeah except, that you are entire wrong because you just made that up. Zionism was absolutely founded on the idea of an inherent right to commit violence for the perception of something owed: specifically, Palestinian land.

Read that essay, The Iron Wall, 1923, by Zionist author Ze’ev Jabotinsky, considered to be a foundational document of political Zionism, and then lie to me again telling me that Zionism isn’t founded on political violence.

I mean it says right on the fucking card not to .

But some institutions insist.

just tryna get a little cancer

Yeah idk. One reason is why I said ‘psuedo-anonymous’. And then there is also an element of trust. If you delegate your vote and they vote against your interests, well thats that I suppose and you wont trust them again. So I do think it could be largely private at least in certain directions (we dont’ all get to “know” who your delegates are, even if the system does. But then again, does it need to be private?

In terms of legislation, I was imagining the users of the system themselves do the work of crafting it, and it gets voted on within the system

No i have too much writing to do at work to write fiction. I keep a journal of ideas though. Maybe someday.

Yeah for the short story I write the idea down for was about a high desert town in a western state. no-where in particular, but that gritty, off the grid, sandy desert western culture. somewhere between abbey and le guin, but in a modern context . a story about community having to make real decisions about things like infrastructure.

I put the idea down a couple years ago when I was reading some local politician responding to criticisms about wasting public money and potholes and them basically being like “the budget is public. show me the waste? yall want more done? pay more taxes.”, when the reality of managing anything is costs and benefits in the context of limited resources. like the communal management of resources would have come about basically as an app this community was using to keep track of and develop the land they bought to home stead but it evolves from there.
