It's easy, and accessible, and built for crowds. So keep if friendly. And be nice to the locals. That includes the famous locals.
During his speech on Election night, President Elect Trump said we should come together as one people. Here are a few other quotes:
"We will get along with all nations willing to get along with us."
"We will deal fairly with everyone. Everyone. All people and all other nations."
I'm enjoying the march of process from the man who says "You're fired." The flip side of that is when you do a good job and get a bonus. People who never worked for anything, and were handed everything because of their moiety status as perfered, either through actual or intellectual neptism (intellectional nepotism: the idea should be immediate and clear or . . . maybe you need to go lookup some words), that kind, who doesn't need to try and still gets the best part, often can not grasp the reward for success. They won by being closely affiliated, either through blood-line fetishizers cults, or by association of ideology. And they never needed to do anything real in their lives, and thus, can't not grasp the idea of performance, or even 'bonus'. They want it. They get it as soon as they are able to point at it on the shelf at the giant urban department store. The other kids, their parents wouldn'te ven bring them to those floors where everything was too expensive, and it would end up, in a few short months, down in the basement anyway, got to keep it all new and improved upstairs.
Sad for them suddenly deprecated. And often with such obvious skillsets and overwhelming urge to please. The only benefit that was a reward was the approval, used to condition the subject child into being a pliable drone for the cause. And they don't ever let their subjects go, but they remain on the list of subjects, for full funding by the secreetee society people, like space aliens landing in a 3AM child's bedroom, in the middle of the night. "We are here from the greater lee marrvian happy society, better get used to these 2 AM probings. Scream all you want, we'll say it's just a dream." But it is just a dream. Or is it? Yes, it is a dream. Or is this the dream? and if that had happened to you, and you were one of the subjects, you'd know about it. Or is that just more urban mythology? and if you believe it it morphs to urban pathology. YOu don't understand the motivations of political opposition so you call them evil herotics against a world view that you can't even explain, and display without the streets and alleys, it's an urbane jingo, everyone must know the gang sign causes and be on the same plane going off to (across the far-away-sky) some alternative final destination. And the evil 'they' can't come on board. Not allowed if they scored that midocondral DNA and dance like a puppet when the triggers play (like a marionette, little darling, take a bow now).
But those little snowflakes aren't really marrianettes. It's a game that they were conditioned to play. Or they fell into it, and the ideology takes advantage of them. They can't think for themselves anymore. They've never heard of The Enlightenment. They only know Orwell as a theory. They've never actually read Kafka. They might have first edition books, but they won't read them because they want them to be 'mint in package'.
OK, I'm divigating. My subject today is about how 'snowflakes' are actual living humans, who need to be given a blanket. Lookit, if it's too cold, you don't prance around in a thong. A thing for the beach on a Wednesday on vacation week isn't something to wear on the iced-over down-cruve (that sweeps south-east for 30 miles along the big-river) through the rolling hills of an ancient river valley (I've got a particular strech of road in mind. No one goes there in the Winter without proper atire).
In political discussions we clothe our arguments in various rhetoric of alternative styles. There is an "I'm being ironic" interpretation where someone who recognizes the gold-ring concept presents it in front of themselves, and in some kind of pseudo-hipster bit they disavow it just as you approve it. So if they say 'beautiful glowing ideas of caring for people and Virgin Mary healing of both body and soul (society, congregation, and business association)' and you're like "I'd be singing in that choir!" then suddenly they are "figures you'd buy-into that crap . . . I'm being ironic." By now this is a trite bit, a situation comedy vignette and if you ever asked me who it is, it's David Spade from . . . Rules of Engagement in an encounter with his 'hipster' underling from his office. So don't see me as a thief of ideas, but a kind-of reporter about them. Never-the-less the person who sees important conceptual metaphoric constructs of story that correlate with positive action in the community, but not for self-benefit or for display, but for the actual good of people, and to serve The Lord (and I'm not being ironic, so, please agree with me). The holy act of civic devotion can be 'talked about' as being something fowl, and it can be considered trite or passe, or old-school. And one can sit there and talk fowl about childhood myths as if they should never be put forward, that Santa does not come to everyone's houses, which we all know that the story doesn't go like that. And then the ironic snarkster says " Not everyone has homes, what does Santa do for them? " Well, here is what he doesn't do. He doesn't spoil any kids Christmas. And if you know those kids who don't have homes, and you are in the United States of America, don't make shit up in my face about injustice. If you know of real injustice, and actual homelessness, then why are you going on about your pablum puke-headed stuff about 'being ironic' and being over bearing with my stupid sappy old-school Santa, ho ho ho, who, by the way saw what you did . . . at the demonstration. And so your sins, cause we all have them. Or is the concept of 'sin' also too trite and traditional?
Ya, so, ya. Some things are ironic with in the situation comedy ethic that plays to a particular crowd. And there is gravy of concept there, for the world to sop up: ironic hipster is an archetype. He sees and understands the ideals that he derides as delusions of the older generation. But later, when he's got kids of his own, and he's trying to pay the bank for his house, he isn't all 'oh, how ironic of me.' anymore, but worried about the well being of children, and understanding how sometimes, when things get rough, dad walks backwards (a scene from a movie) to keep his child from seeing some horrible scape of events: Too young to know these things. Santa does help the homeless. Be Santa like that.
So code of Santa. And I suggest a toy drive: go to the State Troopers and donate to them and the toys will get to where they need to go. They have a box at the Toys - R - Us: all you ironic hipsters who deride the problems of the world, and seem to offer no solutions: go to the toy store and buy some toys and put them in the donation box. Also: find a food pantry and start donating to them regularly. If you feel that the world sucks the Christian will tell you to pay it forward: you do what is called tithing. It's not supposed to be a display. It's supposed to be beneficial to worthy people.
There is a flip side to that, and it's the reason for the welfare state: people often set up 'charity' and then they skim from it to fund their lavish life styles. (Do they, really? or is this more anecdotal mythology?). But guess what: even if that is true real poverty is still real and the fact of false charity doesn't stop the use of real tithing as a way to help yourself. It displays a belief in the reality of what is real. And it benefits by freeing you from compulsion and from obsession and fear of famine and fear of poverty. You understand that you don't have to pine for the water that flows down stream for someone elses benefit because there is always water flowing from upstream. You can't keep all the water that flows by your river-front. Nor should you try.
And as far as calling out 'false charity'? You should always play the bit as if you believe. And if you did discover that someone was skimming, you can remind them without shaming them, to do the right thing. Unless you are a prosecutor or involved in auditing for taxation purposes, then you don't have a right to accuse anyone of this without some kind of journalistic fair reporting, with fact checking and a sense that you don't want to get it wrong. So do give, and be discerning, and understand how some people could be . . . but don't imagine that all who do these activities is like that, even if you found out that some were, still assume that anyone who asks you is sincere. And if you can't give, you can't give. Because people will use your sense of needing to be charitable as a way to gain benefit that they don't really need, and it's just gravy for them. ORRRR . . . do you really want to risk that you don't help when someone really needs it? But if you give five dollars to a junkie in SOMO, do you think that really helps them? You're just buying yourself a quick fix of 'oh how wonderful me' and sending the stemmer back to the meth dealer. (are you 'just' doing that? Really?)
So the point: write a better story than the one where everyone is scamming and no body helps. Live the story where it is you helping but not doing it to gain anything, or to even show it to anyone what you have done. Anonymous in your giving, give a better story. Write the better story for those you see around you and stop assuming you know them based upon the kind of hurt and fearful look that they might glare out at strangers.

🖐 🌙 🖑 🖑🌛 🌜🖐 🖐🖑
♥♥? he blathered: clearly countertative, cause redactical cause redactical cleary countertative. Kanye's not crazy crazy like a fox. Foxes have holes. Birds of the air birds of the air. Foxes have holes. The son of man has no place to call home . . . Kanye is not crazy. crazy, crazy like a fox. Waves of leaves flood the fields and woodslands clearly in need of a snowfall to make it all a happy winter scene, children sleding like from a distant dream. Clearly eve evening evening in Malibu a gracious painter holding a single maple leaf, elegance of form, a painting of many pots that she is selling at auction. You can have it If you bit it bid it win it. Win a tour win a life of touring. Your not Jesus. You have a home. You don't live in a hole. You have a family who wants you to be well. When manic people are often exceptionally creative. Except maybe they can't tell the difference. Eve tweets about her discontents. Kanye remains under observation by millions who really want to know Are you alright? Was that quite a fight? Would you and Eve be OK? Would you buy her painting on a better day? bid it, win it, paint it, show it. If you never try you never learn to walk How could we have learned to fly if no one would ever try? Kanye's not crazy. Eve seems to have a contented life secure enough to tweet about politics. discontented with other people's choices. I hail her, I solute her, if she ever got 'checked in' her people kept it from the press. We are all her people. We wish her well forever. She was a princess amoung princesses, never a flighty queen not ever known for being mean or all agrandized never one put out there to despise. If he never tries, he never flies. Make sense of this with all your ties. If he never tries he never succeeds give up some large part of very many greeds. My painting is all words just glittering I always felt great joy while everybody is painting It was never a competition. get out your box of wax pencils, fill up a page with color. Make sure there aren't any empty spaces. But the empty space stands apart and gives the border to the forms. The forms take shape as effort continues, a poetic form perhaps most vauge of all no rythum to guide you, no color theme, that if you use those materials you can't go wrong, no one beating a drum in time so that the orator knows when to beat the next sylable into the heads of the audiences Kany's ascended the light towers, he's way up high above the stage which is very high already, very high already already very high already and no one had to put him there he didn't need to climb up there. He can't touch the sun, you cna't touch the sun, he knows that he isn't Jesus. Maybe Jesus could go and touch him directly, visit him and calm him and feed him your wine. Love him and cure him. cure me. cure you, the reader, cure Eve cure Donald, cure Hillary. And when you try and understand other people's art they might tell you nothing with their smile. Their twitter feed still shines out, even after they have abandoned it. The sunlight along the ridges, the aspen glow of the late afternoon. The haze and distant cliffs draped in pendant whisps of evaporation, blown along and made into clouds? Or is that a distant forest fire? Upon the ridge, along the Sierra highway, the other travellor knows where the fire burns, someone's ranch, someone fertile vinyard, someone's maple grove, an artist's cottage and a summer's worth of fancy painting. Let's hope that's not really what it is. Race to the stars? Reproduce the master work? How many masterpieces, through out the long ages of mankind have been destroyed by neglect or mallice? HOw many mona lisa's? And even if you see her standing in the sunlight head slightly cocked, to be respected as a talented painter do you notice her own ease and grace and welcoming nature even if she is a skeptic about politics and inclined to let you know how she feels about the news of the world. Shine on, oh life time stars of human novae! 🖐🖑 🖑🖐glossary of what's next

You were out of your mind and being inhuman raving at 'them' about your urges, needs, crappy understanding of society and the wider world wind and waves. But your better now, by now? some time in a rehab for a while? found by someone important? Your better now, and I won't ask about the tats, bars, stars, gang sign markings. Got to go wash? Wash-off your life from yourself? What we have done What we have failed to do. building bridges where there is a river? building bridges and walls, roads, valley town around the roll in the highway,up the mountain, down the mountain up the mountain down the mountainthis must be stealing, you can't wash off who you are. You can't. You can only be born again once it is said get born again. got the message? hang up the phone? Want to experiment with awareness? take a long nap, remove yourself from delusions that the peculiarity of the place that you will create for yourself if you burn off parts of your mind is going to be anything more than just an idiosyncratic virtual delusion Maybe you could wrap it up in stories? Leave them in a box, no body will read them? I'm being a buzz kill? buzzing on means that you land on a flower, for a while, if you were a butterfly and then fly on to the next one. // // Or maybe that is where you'd lay your eggs, if you were a butterfly.

Vote Once One Vote here is a fresh link, a new path to some older content:
We change as we grow and become someone newer who understands our role better in the plans of God.
well most news was about the raid a few weeks ago, I read up on what I could find.
I read up on it but I didn't try to spend too much time dwelling on it.
I wrote some things. But I can only observe these things. I wish not to be seen as being one who understands what it going on in the world these days. I try to learn what happens and try less to 'splain about the peeps involved. That whole 'It's them!' finger pointing is bogus and discordant to an eccumenical and open hearth world view.
And those who seek to live within a meta where they rule the world as a cartoon avatar persona . . . and do their pyramid scheme money-thang and their virtuality as if it's real . . . They do as they will and I have no say over their futures. So why do they pretend to have a say over mine?
The answer is: that if they live within a meta, then their rules are for them there. Outside of that, in the real world, those of us who aren't crazy with self-entitled ideation, and wealth beyond measure that enables us to put the equipment on, and all of it's tethering and attachments and live within that matrix world . . . all of us who do not wish to join them in what seems to be a depraved cult of wish fulfillment cooupled with a magical point of view about the fate of peoples and persons . . . all of us who have not gone crazy like that . . . you can't really expect us to let you carry on and try to rule us from within your cage of technology?
video gaming morphed into 'meta world creation' because the games were too depraved that had the cool world layouts that people like. The puzzles one loves to solve, and the cool graphics that one wants to see were those times interspersed with simulated acting out of depraved behaviors, like having to kill all the other characters in the scene before one moves on to the next level.
So at some point you trained yourself to not do it, to click through the depravity as if it's not there, and maybe miss a creepy backstory. I gave up playing those kinds of games, and I still ike to watch old replays, but I fast forward through the gun fight parts, the ghouls who hound Lara Croft in the end levels of, say Tomb Raider aniversary are tiresome and almost designed to make the players hate this kind of depravity in a game, as if the writers are telling their funders ;Really, a kill anything that seems alive simulation? Like clones could never be born without a need to kill everything else in the proximity from where it emerged? Well, we all know what happend to the Lora Croft franchise, and most video games.
But the graphics can be compelling and fun, so people still get some enjoyment out of it.
And those who think that they can rule from within a meta? they have the persona of the villianous ancient ghoul who haunts Laura through out here travels. Watch a walk through of tomb Raider Aniversary. Feel free to fast forward through the psychopathic parts. But do listen to the banter and the dialog. Spoiler alert: Laura has a lot of soul searching to do.
Aug 29, 2022 Tell us how you really feel
sometimes you just need to remove kruft.
Politics never ends but sometimes it's better to remain mute. Mostly when there is nothing needing or wanting to be said.
but that is no one, that has not hapened to anyone you made it up. thankfully true.
We move along. We keep doing for ourselves. We survive. We don't let the world define who and what we are, or how we feel, or what any of this really means.
And if they have bad humor, and will not forgive they will hate you then.
but at least in that story they leave you alone after all of that
They dont' always leave you alone. It seems they still sometimes want to connect to try to draw that cray cray narrative out one more time. And you have to explain that, no, sorry, this is a bit. You caught me while I was writing a character, that's not me. I am using tht as a dialog in a paly that I'm having my character write inside of his narrative, he's writing his own play about a guy writing a play.
It's like he feeds on it, I get bothered that he lets me go on with it.
I speak but there is no one there. I know that there is no one there. I'm not really talking to myself but I know that I'm not talking to anybody else.© 2017 © 2019 © 2018 © © 2020 © 2021 © 2022

Greetings from tree shaded yard!
Praise The Lord for insight given!
as an example . . . I have tried to do some introspective things as I come into awareness of my own flaws, and recognize the way I act and correct my self and make a better narrative for myself and for others.
you raise me up from far away when a memory of you lifts me!
Somethings never change nothing need stay the same ah, but on a website the constant change is kind-of the point . . .
change without continuity and tradition is often very hard to manage for those thrust into it. And thus the frame of things gives a place for the change to happen. If you violate that idea then you are coming up with something completely different and maybe no one will want to see your new idea, or use your great, new venue, because it's too far out, and very far away from what they currently care about. It's a nether or a meta and it's merely for a lark? Or does it become the next big thing? As fun as graphics are (CGI) and animation, and making a world to fly around in (like minetest, which is easy when you learn how) ultimately such a meta is a hollow place. It's a distraction during the season of gaming. It allows one to brush up on geometry and math, and architectural design, it gives people training in computer languages, it allows someone to make some graphical ideas, and pass a few hours of time every few days or so . . .
To live within such a realm really isn't possible.

Ya, I decided to load Fedora Core 38 Beta about a month ago, and this machine kept shutting down . . . I think I finally fixed it. Tomorrow is the big release day for the Fedora Core 38. My production workstation is still running FC37. I don't know if I'll jump right on it right away. . .
my server is still resetting, or maybe I have it fixed. I decided to just remove plasma-desktop, as I don't use it. The journals were giving all kinds of errors with that, and I think that might have been the issue, conflicting with the gdm that I do use. Worst case I'd just go to runlevel 3 but, as I said in another column, I don't really even know if anyone views these pages anyway.
My production box would upgrade but the dnf says it would downgrade grum and associated tools, and that's never a good thing to do. I'm just not going to do it! anyway I'll check tomorrow when the offical release is and probably do it then. If I'm in the mood.
So now I've run every version of Fedora serving this website! that's a long time.

It took some time to figure out how to defeat the new screensaver built in, but I was able to. It's the biggest downside to the new Gnome.
I set the keybindings to something I don't use, and then put in a custom keybinding to use the old tool.
There are other minor things that annoy too, like the restoration of a deleted file that I always have to delete again on every FC core upgrade. The file is name camera-shutte.oga. It's in /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo

At the precipice of coding.
a mountain trail often has a place with a great view and a perilous fall if you wonder just a bit too far to one side of the trail. It's called a precipice. It's not a scary place. It's a safe place that one passes through.
OK, so I've done an update to FC34.
the biggest issue was . . . . drum roll . . .a lock up of gnome.
and if i clicked on the activities button I would need to reload (log out log back in).
I was able to run stuff without that, and thus determined a list of files that might need to be removed. I did as full reinstall of gnome as such:
dnf reinstall gnome
then I did a
dnf list installed |grep fc33
which gave me a list of files to consider uninstalling.
from that I got the following:
first odd issue:
sudo was not at first working! I had to install it! I kept the configuration file so I have my preferences still set up.
dnf install sudo dnf reinstall gnome-* dnf reinstall kde* dnf reinstall NetworkManager* dnf remove gnome-screensaver dnf remove gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-20.04.0-2.fc33.noarch dnf remove xorg-x11-xkb-extras-7.7-33.fc33.x86_64 dnf remove compat-openssl10-1:1.0.2o-11.fc33.x86_64 dnf remove mozjs60-60.9.0-7.fc33.x86_64
there are still some fc33 packages, (I also looked for fc32 packages, anything older that was gnome)
sudo dnf list installed |grep fc33 biber.noarch 2.14-4.fc33 @fedora gamin.x86_64 0.1.10-37.fc33 @fedora libgta.x86_64 1.0.9-5.fc33 @fedora
if removing a package also removed large numbers of other packages, I left it. For each of the few that I did remove, I always would make sure by reading what would happen before agreeing to the transaction.
now the gnome-shell is working and it doesn't lock up. So which of the packages that I removed made the difference? I am not sure.
and so after just a few short hours of install, I've got my system working in away that seems normal.
the new gnome shell moves the icons to the bottom of the screen.
I find gnome-shell to be annoyingly poppy at times. I tend to do things rapidly, and all the popping can be nauseating.
It is helpful to learn how to use dnf. I've found that the reverse history stuff works as long as you haven't made too many changes. It's a dicey, though, to try and go back to an older revision but I did it ONCE. Next time it didn't work out so well. AT that point it was installing dnf and yum from rpms.
and I had success. It's the kind of thing that when you know how to do it . . .
but there was one other trick that I needed and it was a scary way to reset a password and I did discover how to do it. I'm not sharing that one (barely remember) it's like these things exist in a nether, and it's best to . . . let the knowledge fade unless you need it. It's too scary to dwell in that space.
anyway, gnome shell is working. It's not flighty and hanging up. And all it took was to remove the old packages of gnome that might conflict with it. And now I can continue with my review.
