since this is in jokes i was expecting you to end up in a costume being unmasked by some meddling kids and a dog

Why The Web Is Such A Mess

fuck, i had an off feeling going through the suckless.org site recently after being interested a few years ago, but had no idea of anything that bad.

i think it was noticing the word 'pure' come up a few too many times.

vote for the rapist

which one?

have you heard of (and what do you think of) the naked rambler?

Yo

I've always liked this one

whole food plant based diet, if anyone else didn't know, just had to look it up.

that's a really useful phrase/acronym for what i'd like to work towards, will try to remember it.

wow, i never realised they were that close together, that's interesting.
i saw them complete separately, years apart, and never really thought about the common themes.

well i do have too many pockets, but those boner pills did nothing!

most of the time, putting ads on a website is just enabling other people to exploit visitor's data, which can also tie in to more direct exploitation and discrimination.
i get the impression that nowadays you're not gonna get more than pocket change anyway without being really active in chasing down google's wild geese.

there is the option of direct relationships with people to put static ads on a site, but i'm not sure if that's a thing outside of sex blogs and related things.

ok, no lie whatsoever, until the line about a kids movie, i thought this was about troll 2.
obviously i've never seen it, so this had me thinking it was impressively deep for a famously bad horror film.

chaos isn't a social arrangement, like a meadow isn't a flower arrangement.

not really responding to your post, i just liked the sound of that and wanted to inflict it on people share

Of course existence is meaningless, says Nintendo – that’s what makes it fun!

move over, nietzsche.

But,maybe is good to point out,imo there is no end goal per se, or a utopian Horizon, just guidelines (lets put this way). Just a continuous struggle against authority and opressive contructs.

oh yes, definitely.
my favourite way of phrasing it is that rather than 'the ends justify the means', it's the means are the ends.
although i've now realised it may be better to say that there are no ends, only means (which is essentially what you just said, of course).

i'd meant to add, but couldn't find the words at the time, that if the concept in your original question (or the diversity of tactics) is relevant at all, it will be for more specific goals.
so i can see situations where in order to achieve some concrete goal (stopping a road being built, or homes demolished), it may be helpful to work at persuading some authority to step in (which is all that legal/political/reformist routes are, in the end), but i don't know how often that helps, and it may be a waste of energy to even leave the option open.

essentially i think i'm trying to say that activities that fall under reformism should be looked at as tools, judged for their specific merits for specific tasks, and studied suspiciously to understand their consequences.
but as the phrase goes 'the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house', and i think reformism as an attitude is dangerous and worse than useless for ending authority.

thank you for this, i think it's a good (and accurate) way of looking at it.

my first thought is that diversity of tactics goes both ways.

but i think that it's important to consider whether any particular tactic is actually doing anything towards the relevant goals, or if it's just wasting energy.
for a national independence movement, pursuing all avenues, even reformism, makes sense, but for abolishing all hierarchies and maybe civilisation itself? probably less so.

that may not help much, but i think diversity of tactics is a useful term if you weren't already aware. i just didn't want to say my first thought without the second bit.

they just magically pop in and out of reality.

quantum flucuations, if anyone's interested

they wouldn't have a shortage of volunteers to do this even if they paid a lot less, unfortunately.

one silver lining of those wages is that presumably some of these people signed up for the money rather than the kicks, and in a battle it's probably good to have the other side not all be ideologically dedicated.

from wikipedia:

The game was extensively modified reducing the violence by European colonizers to create its current collegiate and professional form.

maybe it's time to undo that

I'm very insecure, but angry.

sounds like the english to me

is that proud boy trying to build a belt out of guns?

edible as in more tasty than whatever the preppers buy/make, or edible as in edibles?

bringing “forever wars to a responsible end”

if you were going to actually end them, you'd just say 'end'

pledges to “right-size our counterterrorism footprint,”

what is that even supposed to mean?
