All those years playing Cave games pay off in a big way.

The IRA were terrorists. They bombed english territory killing military personnel and citizens alike.

the way i see the history of democracy in Ireland is maybe more chaotic than in any european country, because their only neighbours are the british who didn’t want to grant them independance and no other country wanted to defend this natural right, because they where far away anywhere else than UK, and noone for sure wanted to have british as ennemies, so the Irish had to accept some odd independancy conditions, where they gave one of the richest part of their country to the UK, need to still swear allegiance to the Queen of the UK and so on, and Irish independantists were seen as terrorists by medias worldwide because UK could make them look so, in the end they had to accept that. That’s what i think i learned from the movie “the wind that shakes the barley”. am i right ?

I just read something on “anti-cryptography” which reminded me to come back here.

“/…/ It’s the last item in this list that leads to the entropy paradox. In order to make a message easy to decode, it is necessary to make the structure of the message obvious to the recipient. Doing so requires the inclusion of redundant information that guides the recipient in parsing and decoding the message. The problem is that this undermines the primary goal of encoding the message as efficiently as possible (which requires the elimination of redundant information from the data stream).”

Furthermore, I agree with Robert Henri and what joshua seems to me be implying; I simply felt stream-of-consciousnessy and didn’t want to go out of my way to organize and pressure myself. Hm, if I’d do that on a regular basis (and people would have a hard time understanding me/getting something positive out of reading my texts while seemingly “trip” on them), maybe it would be unethical, given that I take up folks time, to continue to publish my texts? Ah, damn these questions!

Bits and pieces of thoughts after reading Ava’s post:

The sentences go on for a long time, often extending into compound-complex sentences, and utilize many commas or even parentheses to help emphasize points.

Using the word sentence comes with assumptions of grammar, composition, and style, and what constitutes a review.

Is “Ava Avane Dawn” a handle? Is it a name? Was it made to use alliteration intentionally? Does the
“dawn” part of the name signify some sort of new beginning?

The paragraphs are sometimes extremely short, but other times very long. Frequently, there are page breaks used to separate chunks of text that may not even be considered true paragraphs at all.

Why are there so many questions? Why is it so long? How am I supposed to be able to finish reading it, when it keeps sending me away to play other games?

“Good composition is like a suspension bridge – each line adds strength and takes none away.” Robert Henri
