   :mgsgb_1: :moon: makes a joke about fedi's incessant deliberations on Israel.
   :mgsgb_2: I reply with joke.
   :mgsgb_3: I look to see if there are more jokes.
   :mgsgb_4: People are being very serious. Someone has said something foolish.
   :mgsgb_5::mgsgb_a: I reply, thus sticking my dick in a hornet's nest and having notifications that contain only messages about Israel, most of them being repeats of previous messages about Israel, and all of which are heavily emotionally invested in the emotional/moral framing of the Levantine Hutus/Tutsis, so everyone will ignore roughly half of the facts; mute thread in disgust three days from now; get depressed that people half volunteered to take one side or the other of the bad dichotomy ("I support Ukraine because CNN" and "I support Russia because knee-jerking out the opposite of whatever the NPC does makes me a radical free thinker with important but dangerous ideas"), then get drunk and start speculating that the CIA has psyopped fedi.
   :mgsgb_5::mgsgb_b: I don't reply and I pick one of the following options:
   :mbsgb_5::mgsgb_b::mgsgb_1: Why are xpdf 3.04 and xpopple unanimous in failing to recognize Motif libraries on this tiny box? (P9P's page(1) doesn't do PoC||GTFO very well. The stupid qt5 xpdf 4.x doesn't do *anything* well, especially if your screen has a weird aspect ratio plus this tiny machine has one core and 1GB RAM and qt5 can't do "Hello, World" in less than half a gig--and it's still less demanding than gtk3.)
   :mbsgb_5::mgsgb_b::mgsgb_2: Clean up my CRUX ports tree and upload it somewhere or clean up some code for Inferno or 9front so that I can send it upstream.
   :mbsgb_5::mgsgb_b::mgsgb_3: Continue reading https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https://www.wired.com/story/mirai-untold-story-three-young-hackers-web-killing-monster
   :mbsgb_5::mgsgb_b::mgsgb_4: Get back to work because it is Saturday and I have time to do that and I'm working on a fun bit anyway.
   :mbsgb_5::mgsgb_b::mgsgb_5: Fuck off because it's Saturday and I'm tired.
   :mbsgb_5::mgsgb_b::mgsgb_6: Do the writing I have been meaning to do.
   :mbsgb_5::mgsgb_b::mgsgb_7: Bug fixes for tiny things I am working on casually.
   :mbsgb_5::mgsgb_b::mgsgb_8: Play with the dinky ssh interface because I had an idea while in the bathroom trying to debug the PDF build.
   :mbsgb_5::mgsgb_b::mgsgb_9: Bounce between 5-b-1 through 5-b-8 most of the day (because tired) and complete none of the small tasks, let alone the big one, and wake up as tired tomorrow with exactly as much done but now a panic because I've burned half the weekend without direction.
   :mgsgb_6: Time passes and we are all slowly dying while you idiots are arguing about Israel.
   
   Actually, now that I think about it, those are eight choices and that's three coin flips.
