You will not ~think your way into a new life. You have to move first and badly, in public, and let fresh evidence drag your self-image along behind it, kicking and screaming.
@Daojoan Napoleon knew from experience.
1. I find the use of attributedTo here confusing, because normally this property is used to indicate who owns an object or a collection, and its value is an actor. I am aware that attributedTo is used in a similar way in FEP-1b12, but it would be better to introduce a new property (administrators) instead of continuing to abuse attributedTo.
2. You say that your FEP supersedes the same-origin assumption described in FEP-fe34, but I think it describes a reciprocal claim, also described in FEP-fe34: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/fe34/fep-fe34.md#reciprocal-claims. I suggest clarifying which aspect of FEP-fe34 is being superseded.
3. In the section "Security and Authorization" you say "authenticity" but what actually is being verified is a permission.
4. The entire problem of non-same-actor updates and deletes can be avoided by using different activities. For example, Update can be replaced with an annotation activity. Delete can be replaced with Remove (from thread).
5. FEP links lead to w3id.org site, not directly to FEPs.

While true, this is outside the scope of the FEP. Update/Delete were mentioned in the FEP as they are recognizable, but this sort of explicit authorization* is relevant to any activity type. Offer, Undo, Bite, Zooboomafoo, etc.
* I have to be careful when I use the term "authorization" because if I say it three times @thisismissem will show up and start talking about OAuth2/OIDC again.

Dear lanyards and media people - literally nobody gives a flying fuck about Trump missing his son's wedding and it's super sus how concerned you are about this compared to say "Trump tells every unhinged fascist in the country that doing a coup for him is a paying enterprise."
You wanna know why almost nobody gives a fuck when Trump goes after media outlets? This is part of it mate.
@futurebird on Reflection, I don’t think it’s the first time I have sent you that exact reply. Oosp.
It's understandable.
@JMMaok Hootie and the Blowfish did a free concert in our city center. I was right in front of the stage and loved the show, They closed with the country song “You Never Even Called Me By My Name”
Very cool! I actually went to their concert because I won the tickets at work.
:)

"It is true that you need to get along reasonably well with your sangha (Buddhist community). However, for Buddhism to be effective, it needs to undercut your basic assumptions about life—your 'reference points'. An excessively comfortable group, which constantly validates your reference points, is an obstacle.
A sangha should be irritating."

IMHO this is true of effective political groups too.

Ideological circlejerks where no one is ever seriously questioned or challenged train us to be Useful Idiots. To be effective activists, we need to learn to think strategically, to apply principles to situations rather that just spouting them as gospel truths, and to find consensus with those who think differently.

Putin opened Russia to people like Carr, who don’t want to live in a democracy but in a land of . . . their version of so-called wholesome traditional values. Good-bye, Mr. Carr, take your petty mind to Russia and leave America for those who honestly and sincerely believe in free speech.

Wasn't aware this was a problem? Figured the redirects would be okay.
The canonical location of a FEP is on Codeberg, but no, it is not a problem.
#2 I suppose supercedes is the incorrect term. It extends fe34, in a way. Would that be acceptable? Definitely not meaning to imply that fe34 is insufficient in any way.
"Extends" is fine, I just think you're describing a reciprocal claim from FEP-fe34, so you could use that term (or maybe FEP-fe34 needs to be updated if "reciprocal claim" is not a good name for this mechanism?)

I don't know if this is truly a reciprocal claim. My understanding from a reading of the relevant section from fe34 suggests a claim of A → B is reciprocal if there is an inverse claim B → A.
fe34 solidifies the concept of same-origin trust (which iirc is only something like a line or two in AP spec?). baf5 builds upon that with an additional opt-in specificity. So baf5 assumes fe34 compatibility, but not the inverse. But we're splitting hairs I think 
@alexhaist I don't use it daily, usually 3-5 times a week, and when I've been consistently using it at the more frequent end of that spectrum, it stops working as we. And I haven't really figured out how long a break I need to change that?? I mostly picked two weeks at random, because sometimes I've found one week seems too short. 🥲
@idzie ugh, that's a long time to go without with the migraines you describe. I'm sorry the cycle isn't faster.
