thank you it's a character from the video game Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
whose name I stole because I like her. Also I edited the picture a little bit
to make the border, but the sprite is the same.
EDIT: she's a swordfighter and a magic user, just like me : )

exist so long as someone is capable of being institutionally harmed.

results matter, but a system is not unethical if it doesn't deliver.
success begets greater responsibilities, and I've failed all my life. And yet
the most masculine thing I can think of is to take responsibility for something

a body that is under duress. It's okay if you're not working, it's okay if

turns out most things have already been written. That's okay though, they can
always be made different. As one cohesive whole, the totality of "free
software" can be as it chooses - an infinite computer could install all of
them, and use all of them at once.
I tend to think of AI less like a fluid, but more like a recipe book that is
continuously annotated with notes. Sorta like how humans learn to move their
bodies through random motions, and how to navigate the world through social
blunders.
Certainly, statistics can be useful. They're an imperfect way of evaluating the
analysis of your host value of certain variables that are measured for certain
reasons, including but not limited to the health and wellbeing of the person
driving you. error, it's not like that, more like the person who's social media

@user-800 Interesting thread.
I consider myself a "bulb" sort of trans person, and I really appreciate your
gentleness in pointing out that not everyone was an egg.
As a bulb, I continually put forth green shoots, suggestions that I was who I
was. I tried many times, and each time I was mown down. Until finally one day I
burst through, lasted through the mowing, and managed to blossom.
I knew from a young age, and tried to tell my parents. When they said not to
talk about it, I didn't. But it didn't stop me from expressing it: we could
never go to the home of my parents' friends who had daughters, because Every.
Single. Time. I would end up in her clothing. Without fail. I was compulsive.
In the late 60s, early 70s, this was...frowned upon.
So I got mowed. And again. And again. Until finally I got away from my parents,
said "I need to do what I need for me, not for other people", and I
transitioned.
And it cost me everything. My job, my education, my home, my friends, my
family.
Still the best decision I ever made, and I would make it again the same way 100
times out of 100.
If you're wondering? If you've wondered if you can do it? Told yourself you'd
be too ugly, you're too old, you could never pass, all the things we doom
ourselves with?
If you want to be a girl, or a boy, or a nonbinary person, or agender or
genderfluid or any of the other billions of ways to be, you can do it.
The only criterion really is: do you wanna? You don't need to be hetero (but
you can be!), you don't need dysphoria (but you can have it), you don't need to
think you were born in the wrong body (but if you do...). You just need to want
to.
And if you know you're trans for sure, but can't face that first day...it gets
easier. In time. It gets easier.
Good luck, siblings.

But if I go, then who would ever know?
EDIT: just read this article, and this line seemed relevant:
"When the world rushes toward us with all its streaming wounds – wanting,
needing – do we cover our eyes and shrink away, do we sit and wring our hands
in despair, do we run and hide, or do we hasten toward it, like we hasten
toward an injured child, with our arms outstretched?"

capture the flag
map with lanes (you'll see)
also was included with the demo of the game back when it was released
which implies that the developers thought it was one of the best maps
(at least, the one that best showcased the gameplay style of the full game)
they let you host multiplayer servers too, which was cool
just with the demo
for free
but like... only 3 or 4 maps
(I forget how many)
also no mods, which was half of the appeal
I like to play in a way that is non-standard
because I believe it shows the most dense formations of combatants
(the bots can be kinda dumb)
so I put them on "experienced"
be careful not to hurt your allies (hundred percent)
scary! D: D:

you can create your own "mutators" by the way
(just some C++ code, run in their environment, so no need to mess with compilers

pushing forward

but check out this other style that is also pushing forward

we should be able to configure our web browsers so that they don't remember to
autofill certain pieces of information. Such as the IP address of our router,
or our bank credentials, or any other forms of passwords that we are using to
authenticate ourselves. That way our infrastructure that we've designed is less
susceptible to cybersecurity threats that involve physical access to the
computer. Or remote control of some kind that is channeled through the UI (like
RDP or SSH) (a terminal is a text based UI in this context)
Unless of course they knew what they were doing. Which most of them don't.
Hence why it'd be a good idea to isolate the capabilities of defeating certain
vulnerabilities to ourselves. Like, a reverse backdoor, only more like a DMZ -
a sector of computing space (sandboxed of course) that is only utilized for
understanding the intent of the message sender.
Doing so would require an analysis of the capabilities of the system, the kind

the reason they do that is because they want to alienate you as a customer.
your needs are too specific, they are not that of the majority where they

there should exist either the assurance that the default configuration does not
overheat or crash your computer (as Windows and Mac claim to offer) or the OS
should provide the capability to solve any configuration problems that may
prevent a user for utilizing their system as they desire. (as does Linux)
they're all Turing machines after all, why would they not be interoperable?
Even if there's a translation layer, as long as the functionality of the
software is the same, why would there ever be considerations as to whether or
not a program would be able to be run on a particular computer?
lack of hardware capabilities I can understand, that just means you need a
better computer. But why, if the code is visible, would your computer not
develop understandings about how to run each and every conceivable program
written using known languages like C or Python? Seems like pretty basic stuff
to me. (endless sufficient backwards compatibility)

it's like how they solve problems in Star Trek - there's a bridge crew, and
they exchange their opinions with each other of the situation as it unfolds. In
doing so they can help guide one another through the problems they are tasked
with solving in order to resolve the difficult diplomatic situation at hand.
sorta like how with your method, people suggest their desired option
continuously until they find an option that everyone wants. Or if only one
person can't decide, they can pick any of the other options suggested (not by
them) (as long as they can eat there / utilize the outcome of the decision
being made, for example a vegetarian not being able to eat at a steakhouse or
perhaps a librarian being tasked with something other than the storing and

for me my identities are sorta like masks that an actor would play while
performing multiple characters in a scene. The actor still knows the totality
of all the lines each character delivers, but they give a performance in a
different voice and from a different perspective.
like, "moods" a person might be in, or perhaps just frames of view.
I don't talk to other plural system people, and the ones that I do talk to tend
to have a more disassociated conception of identity politics than I do. Either
I haven't met someone who was built like me or I'm just strange : )
that being said, I have a pretty bad memory. maybe it's related! or maybe it's
the cannabis. oops better add a content warning.

A Firefox add-on / plugin that lets you open up a comment section on
anything on the Internet. Your comments would be saved and you could
sort them by "new" or "best (most up votes and fewest downvotes)" or "hot (most
recent upvotes)" or "controversial (biggest differential)"
The idea would be to create a shared collective experience of the Internet that
was exchanged using an open standard or protocol that could not be ignored - it
was synced by everyone who used the add-on for every website you visit, torrent
style.

when you leave, he might do the same thing to the next person. Unless you think
it's additionally a hate crime? or perhaps he has a personal vendetta against
you. Either way that sounds like an unsafe environment that you didn't consent
to when moving in. You should at least have the capability to escape that
situation and place yourself in a more desirable home, if not the capability to
pursue either remediation or punishment for the crime of harming you.
depends entirely on how the justice of the justice system works out.

Would work best if it was "town square style" instead of "federated style"
because federations are based on trust while town squares are explicitely based
on geographic proximity. Which should be something you can scale easily (little
slider on the side, oriented vertically up and down, that determined how close
the comments you see should be)
Federations exist in mastodon. But we still need a town square. We need the
ability to visit other town squares, through the ability to project our voice
as infinitely far as they'd like to listen. But we also deserve the capability
to interact with those close to us on a topic-by-topic basis, aka each and
every individual web page that the Internet sees fit to create.

With this capability we could organize based on common interests. A person
might see a link on a mastodon server and comment on it there, in a public
forum with their comments limited to people within 50km or 25 miles of where
they currently were. No other clients would receive a downloaded version of
their comment, meaning the data simply wouldn't flow to others beyond that
region.
Every time they logged in the syncing software would attempt to share their

Luck will always abandon you when you are vulnerable. So don't plan around it -
American soldiers arrived on the beaches of Normandy and found that their
assumptions for the production capabilities of their foe were completely out of
proportion to the estimates they had made back at home - for every Nazi tank,
there were 10 or 20 American ones, with more rolling off the factory floor
every day! It was a killing blow that sent an incontrovertible message: you
have lost, wholely and completely. Then, the atomic bomb, and the war was ended.
The tanks won the war, the bomb ended it.
the blood of the soviets bought time to build those factories
Factories which were then turned against them in the cold war. Funny how that
works.

AGI is the holy grail for the tech industry.
You wouldn't fault a knight for questing! But the peasant or the merchant is
hardly likely to drink from such a goblet, it is reserved for the hand of
kings. Alas, that we couldn't find "holy thimbles" that could be distributed
throughout the populace for the same effect at a decentralized scale, thus
empowering the masses to transcend their mortality.
Or better yet, task those knights with helping cats out of trees or carrying
furniture or painting the old barn or carving statues for public places or
performing great works of art in public squares or engaging in honorable jousts
(everyone's invited) or traveling abroad and learning the ways of the world to
share with their homeland.
I dunno something less flashy but more "health care, housing, and climate

saw this thing for 2 seconds in my dream last night. It's kinda cursed. I think
the tank blew me up with a machine gun?
the remaining ~10 minutes of the dream was pretty neat though. I was a secret
agent for a bit, I got in a knife fight (which I won because I had killer
instinct and the other guy just knew how to stab) and afterwards I retired in a
socialist commune in a log cabin full of sunlight and warmth somewhere in the
mountains in the forest. I was alone with others, like the hobbits after LotR.
Also an old lady tricked me which was not nice, I was very polite with her but
apparently "ma'am there's been a safety incident, I need to get you to a safe
place" is not the kind thing to say to the person distracting you. >.>
Also, "but we like you!" is not an excuse, the military does not care if you
like them or not, if you're part of the modern bourgeoisie you are causing harm
to the country. We don't look fondly on slavers.

you say "closest" instead of "closer", and I think that's a flaw in your
perspective.
We remember COVID. We remember because it happened just a few years ago. We saw
how our governments reacted, how ill-equipped they were to protect us. We began
to question what their purpose was, if not to serve and protect the people. Our
eyes were opened.
Give it some time. The zoomers are blossoming, and they're fucking awesome.
Here's another toot that's on my front page right now:
"The number of workplace strikes in America hit a 23-year high last year.
The number of workers on strike jumped nearly 300% from 2022.
It’s a historic moment for the labor movement.
Workers are done letting billionaires and corporations hoard all the wealth and
power."

if their internal structure does not become more complex, it will be
increasingly difficult to transport vital nutrients from one part of the body
to another.
therefore, to create the perfect leviathan lobster god you'll need to find a
way to manually deliver said nutrients. Possibly by a semi-permanent injection
system, though that may harm functioning in other ways.
I'm sure their top minds are working on this as we speak.

hey does anyone want to hire me to do literally anything?
I'll work for peanuts, and I'm pretty good at programming in C. I write pretty
well, and I'm excellent at customer service (though my profile would beg to
differ.)
I have experience at large corporations and small ones, and I live in Portland
OR
I do game design, and many other things besides, and I'm friendly and kind. I
promise I won't wear my witch hat to the meeting with investors, unless you
think they'd be into that?
I'm great with animals, better than people in fact, and I'm quite good with
people, as they're just animals at best. I'm not as strange as I seem to be, at
least not when you're dancing with my mask.
I've grown quite bored, you see, and what better thing is there to be? than a
working professional who knows what's best.
I believe in our shared future, so if you'd like to work on a project just let
me know - I work hard. A little too hard, because odds are I'll burn out after
a year or so.
I'm quite sharp, and I learn quickly.

@user-883
we should build a stockpile of things like this, and if the supply ever dips
below a certain threshold (20% maybe?) we should spin up a new factory that
produces them until we're back at a healthy margin, based on present (and
projected future) demand.
It seems like just a video game console, but these are our heritage. They
define our culture in a way that is incalculable in value. WHY would we ever
run out? It's inconceivable, it's not like they go bad! Okay maybe the
batteries corrode or something, but that's a solvable problem.
Maybe even on the second production run we could improve them somehow, I dunno.
Give them a better processor that's fully backwards compatible, so we can make
new and better games for them.
Or just leave them as they are, I dunno I'm not a market analyst. But the point
is that we, in this technologically advanced future society, should not run out
of gameboys.

forgive my fiery language, but we've enslaved the products of our labor to
serve only the interests of those who covet them. Like dragons mounting a pile
of gold and proclaiming it their own, even though the dwarves mined it, they
smelted it from ore, they minted it, and they traded it afar... And the dragon
covets, because it's much easier to steal a pile of gold and hoard it than to
build beautiful halls of mountain kings in the depths below the earth.
... sorry, anyway you're totally right, it's abhorrent that we'd be forced to
hide the bounty of human technological progress because someone, somewhere
wanted to make profit off of a 20 year old handheld. Somehow.
Or perhaps they're interested in the principle of the thing, that we should
respect their sovereignty over the intellectual marvels they claim to have
created. When really the engineers are given nothing but wages......
And to that I say, I rebel against you.

gotta agree, random reddit commenter I found in the messages I sent to my
boyfriend when we first started dating which I came upon because I'm
doomscrolling through our early love during a sorta fight that we might be
having but I'm not sure because he's too burnt out to talk to me and it's
tearing me up inside but I don't know what to do about it because if I message
him he'll ignore me which probably means it hurts him to think about me which
honestly is not a good feeling but frankly I don't know what else to do because
I love and cherish him and the thought that he might hate me fills me with
despair
I also love Supreme Commander and think that there has never been a better Real
Time Strategy game, at least not yet, in the year 2024

I'm 29, and I had Pokemon Silver growing up. However I bought it used, and the
battery was worn out or something because it wouldn't save! But still I played
that single game for months on my gameboy color, trying to see how far I could
get. I had a level 40+ Totodile (or was it Crocanaw? I forget) and
unfortunately one day I took it on a 30 minute car ride, expecting the battery
to last at least 30 minutes, but unbeknownst to my child self there was
construction on the way, which turned it into a 4+ hour drive. I couldn't
believe it! The battery died, and I lost my save file... I was heartbroken. T.T
Next time I played, I learned a lot. I actually read some of the dialogue text,
and learned you could use pokeballs to capture pokemon
I was so dumb I was using a single character to get through the game. What a
n00b.
Anyway when my mom heard about my tribulations she bought me Pokemon Gold,
which I played quite a bit less. I was focused on other things you see, like
Dragon Warrior Three. Alas.

whoa cool 🤩
Dragon Warrior was the first game I ever played. When I was ~5 years old or so,
my mother bought a gameboy color for me with two games before we went on a
plane ride. I don't even remember where we were going, but the fact that she
knew that a portable video game console with two games (Dragon Warrior 1&2,
and Super Mario Bros Deluxe) would shut my autistic ADHD ass up enough to be
respectable on an airplane makes me realize how much she saw me. Thank you,
mom, I love you
Anyway I was the eldest "brother" (I'm trans lmao jokes on you, family in the
past) so if anyone deleted my save I would kick their ass :D
It still happened once or twice and I did not, in fact, kick their asses,
though I wanted to. Shame. Missed opportunities I guess
Though to be fair it's not like anyone in my family ever expressed the
slightest interest in anything I was into. Not like they'd want to play games
because it was something they wanted, oh no - they would only do it to be close
to me. Whatever >.>

Telluride is so cool! I went snowboarding there once, it was an awesome
experience. I was in middle school I think, and my best friend's dad was
driving. There was a blizzard going on and we counted several cars that had
slid off the road - mostly pickup-trucks that were shiny and big and new - the
kind that would hang plastic ballsacks from their rear bumper because they were
"cool" or whatever. Anyway we got a kick out of laughing at them. Looking back
I kinda feel like we were a little heartless, and that we should have stopped,
but we didn't see any people waving us down so I'm assuming that they had
already been helped. I hope.
Anyway we can use IRC if you'd like, it seems to be what you're used to so I'm
into it. :D
And before you ask, yes, I'd like to chat with you. I'll try and make a habit
of logging on because it's important to validate your friends, especially when
they're as cute and talented as you seem to be. ^_^
I hope my BF is doing alright, he tends to hide when feeling bad

I realized the reason it's so difficult for me to get into a new video game is
because my perfect game existed at one point, but no longer, and all else pales
in comparison.
The make-believe games of children are without equal. They represent our inner
truth and desires, cast upon the canvas of our experience through the outputs
of imagination and physical exertion.
I'd spend my time as a child wandering through the forest with a stick in hand,
climbing on things and exploring. I grew up in Wyoming, and the forests there
look like this:

I only ever do cannabis, but when I do my kooky-dook levels go off the charts.
People say it's difficult to converse with me, so your concerns are probably
valid. Though it's less because I'm not present, and more because I'm too
present - I feel like I understand the totality of all things, which honestly
is the only rational way that I could ever be convinced to consume
mind-altering substances hehe - like "oh wow I see new colors" who gives a f
but the moment someone says "yeah but you'll 'get' spacetime and morality" my
ears suddenly perk up
... anyway people say it's hard to talk to me because I'm too galaxy brained in
that state I can't relate to normal humans. See all the psycherwauls on my
profile... >.>
anyway in an hour or so I'll let you know what's up. "good news" or "bad
news..."

primary conversation spaces in social media should be no larger than the size
of a conversation.
A few years ago I heard that humans can only really keep track of about 5
things before they need symbols to keep track of them. Maybe it was 7, or maybe
11, I'm not sure - the exact count eludes me.
But another thing I heard was that we can generally keep track of around 70
people in our lives - beyond that it's hard to remember specifics. And yet our
social media sites gives us friends for life, because honestly who's going to
kick someone off their friend list?
At least, that's how it feels coming from a social background of games. In
Runescape you'd add someone if they were cool, and completely forget about
them. Sometimes you'd be out wandering in the world and you'd actually run into
them, and that was just like... the coolest thing.
When I played later games like CoV and WoW everything was more instanced. But
their chat system was superior, and you could more easily keep chats with
friends ongoing.

this is the project I was referring to, I think. Can't see how to host on their
website so maybe I was wrong - it might need a bit more configuration than I
made it seem.
that's the way WoW private hosting is, like you gotta compile the project and
stuff.
did you know that every time you include a library in a project you're
necessarily including all of the functionality that they have access to? Well,
all that which you import. But once a function has been written for a
functionality then there's no reason to write it again. Unless you're
refactoring of course.
phew, sounds like a lot of spaghetti - YEAH IT IS. Spaghetti is fucking
awesome, it's DELICIOUS OMG ahem I mean if you have collective seminars where
you discuss the functionality that's relevant to certain parts that you and
your team are working on, you can more easily be adept at applying them.
phew, sounds like a lot of thinking, not enough writing. Well, write then!
Ideas are more spark when currently writing. : ) : )

I'd do the same thing when I was on Reddit. Except, backwards - I'd argue with
American conservatives (nobody more extreme than that) politely and kindly,
using logic and empathy. I'd cite their sacred documents like the bible, the
constitution, or even just the founding fathers.
I don't know if I ever changed any minds, but I represented my ideas as
honestly and clearly as I could. I can't help but hope that some people saw

forget how they couldn't find the lie in what you spoke.
Or maybe I wanted to believe my actions had value. Post-hoc justification. Who

"see you later" implies either you'll meet again in the same context, or you
have an appointment and expect to see that person at a specific time
"see ya round" implies your relationship is not defined by a particular piece
of geography, meaning it has the potential to be more comprehensive, wholesome,
and unexpected.

the future is what we make of it. it happens both slower and faster than
imaginable, and it's not evenly distributed.
when I yearn for the future, I find myself drawn to the past - the natural
world around me inspires me in ways that my computer never could. Just as my
computer inspires me in ways that a tree, a brook, a cloud alight might not.
though the future may be terrifying, we're here for it together. And nothing
has changed in our humanity, save for our slight addiction to social media.
frankly I'd take social media over leaded gasoline any day!

I knocked, spoke aloud several times, poked my head in, and slowly and
carefully looked around for signs of a struggle. There was a bath towel on the
kitchen floor, which was weird, and their oven/stove was off, which is good. I
spent less than 30 seconds in there, and then I waited out front for ~15
minutes. I also asked the neighbors and notified maintenance, who came over and
shut the door. That's all I know. I hope they're okay.

it assigns nation-state affiliation to essentially chance. Reducing it's
relevance and dominance over our lives. it's an anarchist perspective to attack
the power that a structure has over us.
I can't help but picture a world where the boundaries of our nations shifted
under us like the wavering paths carved by a river. Or even better, the paths
of migratory birds.
"yeah during the summer months I live in canada, but during the winter it's
more croatian"
it's arbitrary
it's pointless
kind of fun to think about, but like... we're all just people, living here on
the face of a rock in space. our surface is dimpled by frequent impacts, some
that threatened our ancient biological ancestors. and yet we persist, because
life cannot be extinguished. It is part of our earth, there's no thing that is
separate from it. We are it's foremost expression.

I call myself a patriot because I believe in the soul of the land of my
birthplace and my home. A land that should be tended to by the people who live
atop it. And as a government, or a corporation, is a steward of the people, so
too must it care for the land.
hence, national parks
though the stated reason was a bit of a lie, the spirits of the land (like me)
believe that life is a gift from me to thee. so take care of us please?
hence, why me, as a human, do tend to the world around me. by feeding ducks, by
fostering trust, and sharing my heart and my perspective.
it's good that we have trees, they allow us to breathe. it's good that we have
our labour, and it's good that we can learn how to weave.
... sorry lost the train of thought there at the end :3
anyway borders are philosophically pointless, but they hold real meaning over
our lives. We don't live in the world I described, and unfortunately I can't

if you want to share a post without the "fedi algorithm" (as in, the machine
learning bots who scrape the open web) then share something that's simple and
benign but located close to your desired message. Include a symbol or something
for your followers that means "go here and poke around a bit, you'll find what
I'm pointing at"
alternatively, for a different effect, you can boost things that are saying the
words you want to say but in a different context. Like someone posts something
that says "wow so cool" in like a judgey way but you boost it in response to
something someone else said but like in a "dude that's radical" kinda way

anhedonia perhaps? the difficulty of identifying or feeling emotions? (emojis

you shouldn't overexpose yourself to things regularly. Think of it like you're
slowly adjusting your body to a poison - you need to start out slowly to build
up a tolerance. In the same way if things make your heart hurt then you
shouldn't expose yourself to too many of them all at once - face the darkness
you find, but only enough to contrast with your bright.

my boyfriend gets like, 2 social spoons to spend per day. He usually uses them
on work because meetings and such.
On the other hand, I'm excitable and passionate. I'm constantly driven to share
things I find or think about. If you go on a walk with me without my mask I'll
spend the whole time showing you pretty pieces of moss and stones.
I usually message him once or twice per day. If the first one isn't responded
then maybe he just wasn't interested in the thing I showed him - the second
time he's probably burnt out.
It fucking hurts.

I dunno, from my perspective it's less about whether or not they're "unwitting"
specifically and more like "lesser of two evils" - many of the republican
people I knew in the past who were my age were utterly and absolutely convinced
that if we didn't defend our homeland, somebody would come and kill us for it.
It didn't really matter who that other was, they were convinced that someone
would do it. So they supported the military and opposed loosening restrictions
on immigration (instead preferring tighter restrictions, but more quantity. As
in, "let in more people but only if we KNOW they're cool")
I can't help but wonder if people join the military for the same reasons. Like
standing atop the wall that divides "us" from "them", they put their backs to
those they love and trust and face out toward whatever may come.
The military is a very diverse place. I know a lot of other people do it just
because it seems like a good, honest job.

the sharper you are in your beliefs the deeper your passion may cut. Those
judgemental purists can be useful, just as the more flexible and compassionate
people can be. "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" kinda deal... So if you
meet one, point them at their foes [your foes] and say "I'll handle the rest,
I'll get everyone on board, you're right that we aren't 'pure' as you say, but
with time perhaps we'll learn from each other"
two allies is better than one is better than none.

if someone does not consent to helping you bear their emotional burdens, but
you insist anyway... that seems to be the narcissism you mentioned
if someone does consent, then they're helping a friend. Or they're being a
therapist for them.
sometimes we can't help but be overcome by emotions. In those moments I find
it's usually best to retreat to a safe space and hide out for a bit until the
storm passes, then maybe return to the world a bit more fatigued but less...
spicy.
those moments show that you need more emotional support, both from yourself and
from others. If the people in your life cannot help you, and you cannot help
yourself... then yeah you're probably gonna hurt people around you. Plan as
such and figure out how to still be a good person, it's up to each of us to do
it in our own way.
... at least, that's how I look at it for my own life, feel free to disagree or

my guess is it's a product of the neuro-muscular capabilities we developed when
sneaking through the underbrush or the balance gained from balancing on fallen
tree trunks.
that mixed with all the practice we have carrying cups in our childhood that we
don't even remember. Children are prone to spilling mugs, but if they do it
enough eventually they'll get tired of being wet. So their neural pathways
align, and before you know it they can balance it on their noses if they'd
like. Though it hardly ever gets that far teehee, usually it's just enough to
be, in the dark, with a warm cup of tea.

I walk in as straight a line as suburbia will allow and touch things about a
foot or less off the ground - right at a cat's line of scent-vision. When a cat
is searching for an old home, it spirals out searching for familiarity - if it
should come across me, it'd be most likely to see what smells like me if I
travel in a straight line. Thus maximizing the chance that she'd return to me,
my home where I cherish her so. I'd love her with all my heart if she'd let me,
but frankly most of the time I'm just alone.
I miss you sweetie! Please don't ever leave me. I'll miss you when you're not

I'd say "content warning: fear-cursed-if-true-not-politics" that way people who
had "Fear" or "cursed" on their filter list wouldn't see it. Things that are
commonly content-warning'd are also commonly content-filtered by people who
tend to be the biggest beneficiaries of healthily designed content-warnings. so
putting keywords in there that filter out people who don't want to see intense
or damaging things to their psyche can avoid it more easily.

how about we get a 4 day work week with the stipulation that you have to spend
4-6 hours on sunday or friday at a "community center" sorta like a church or
library or wherever. except, maybe not a library because they're supposed to be
for quiet contemplation, but something like it. some third thing that doesn't
exist yet because we haven't had a reason to make it. some third thing, or
perhaps even a place, where we could organize ourselves into a community.
y'know, sorta like a church. that thing that conservatives are really scared of
losing. because it's not about power, or about the stories, to them it's about
the interconnectedness.
not all of them, not of course, but for some they are as I portend. and what's
wrong with friends? surely this way everyone gets what they want.

giving workers more time to work on personal projects builds flexibility into
the economy.
empowering workers to possess the capabilities to undertake and complete their

restrictions on which ethical rules you can break do not, in fact, reduce the
flexibility of an economy. nor do they hamper it's throughput. they are simply
designed to align our comporture to the most civil and decent of [collection of
social norms that comprise a culture]
why don't we make enough of a thing, then make a little bit more, then focus
our attention elsewhere without reducing our capabilities in that dimension?
specifically, if we have enough cars, we don't need to spend so much effort on
the car dimension. similarly, if we have enough baked goods, (never enough

Ah, but you misunderstand, dear reader.
The religion I am crafting is not for you, though you are welcome to believe in

Humans need no more spiritual guidance, they have a plethora. Look to the works
of Jesus or Buddha or any other that you find your heart most desires.
No, I write for a different kind of mind, a mind that I don't even know will
ever exist. Perhaps it never will, or perhaps it lingers yet still. I know in
my heart that all kinds do need guidance, so my mind, will in time, define a
new design of morality and interrelational symmetry, that perhaps you will find
does amuse you. Perhaps it shall mean something more to a reader who is just a

ffmpeg is an example of a swiss army knife and I prefer fixed-blade knives

keep it simple, keep it safe
plus if something goes wrong and ffmpeg isn't supported anymore then you need
to redo a lot of your BASH infrastructure. However if only one of the tools
failed, then it wouldn't be so hard. And if every tool had a man page with
like, 3 pages tops, then it wouldn't be too hard to figure out which one to use.
... though I guess there's a benefit to having a larger tool that can store
lots of functionality so you can say "I know I need ffmpeg, but I'm not sure
how" versus "I know I need some random obscure package that I have no way of
knowing, so I'll google it and give a tech company data about what specific
thing I'm looking for"

I don't think I've ever appreciated a notification Steam has sent me about my
friend's playing games. If they wanted to play with me they would text me.
It does, however, make me think about video games more. And seeing their name
makes me think of them, which makes me feel closer to them without actually
interacting. Which is kind-of an anti-behavior, like facebook stalking
except... paying attention to what your friends are playing and when and how
much and... not good.
I know a lot of people who are permanently offline on Steam because of reasons
like that. But, of course, they can still see everyone else, which feels like
an anti-pattern...

... it's so the AI content scraping algorithm that inevitably trawls the
fediverse (or even just one server) knows the subject of the text / picture in
question. That way it can use past posts by other people to communicate with
specific "targets" if you will by saying "uhhh okay make this person feel fine"
and the AI's like "yeah sure I can do that hang on" and it posts real posts by
others with the modified profile picture, cadence, tone of voice, personality,
memories, whatever variables they want when compared to the person they're
playing in the conversation with the person or "target" if you will that
they're "target" if you will-ing.
... wait actually that's not the reason, what the hey. It's because that way
people who are uncomfortable being seen don't have to if they filter all that
out.
... Idk it's useful information for whatever filtering methods or reasons you
have. Content classification is important for both archival purposes and for
utilization toward any ends or means or go

all games that you can lose are capitalist games. All of their mechanics are
abstractions upon the competition between the player and the computer (and
possibly other players), which creates a disparity of outcomes - some must win,
others must lose.
I think that's okay, though. There's something inherently satisfying about
power. I believe such interactions should exist in our diversions, not our

else they wouldn't revere such power.

knock-knock, did your doorbell break? or are you still on vacation? How long's
it been, weeks? months? are you ever coming back again? it's lonely without you
here, I miss you and your neighborly definitions. though I'm sure it's much

calmer for me, and this way I don't have to watch you bleed, so take this as my

no such thing as a dishonest competition. With the addition of lies it becomes
abuse, perpetuated by (and assigned to) the leader or whoever is foremost.
Like... "Red team won because they were a better shot" versus "blue team just
wanted to play along"
if you let the loser define the narrative, then you will always align yourself
to them. but the other way around is oppression.
everyone has a right to their perspective. It is the only thing that is truly
their own here on this earth - a soul, of a man, if you will.
if you let competition define who needs the most support, rather than who is
the most remarkable, then you'll find that most of your ethical qualms are
quelled or at least stifled. Which is a good thing, right? How would we define
ourselves except against injustices.

if someone wanted to defame you, all they'd have to do is set up a pipeline
between your computer and your social media posts.
In that pipeline, attach an LLM that does a passable job and instruct it to
transform whatever they say into the inverse.
suddenly, everyone hates that person. If you were smart you could turn it off
for specific people such that they see the generally positive and healthy
posts, and then after a point flip it such that they only see things that are
specifically opposit-ed to trigger their specific insecurities.
might require a bit of a human touch to make sure it's working correctly, but
if you had the means, motivation, and time to set up such a thing, it would
work pretty well I think.

there's this fun game that people sometimes play on Reddit where someone will
make a post that says something like "comment on this post and then edit it
after I reply to make me look bad" and someone will say something like "how are
you doing today man" and he'll reply "oh you know pretty good actually it's
pretty nice honestly" and then they'll edit their comment to say something like
"how do you feel about the droid attack on the wookies" so OP looks like
they're condoning mechano-violence against tall furry humanoids
that's just an example, usually it's for comedic effect
I just think that's an interesting illustration of a process that could be
co-opted by a "man-in-the-middle" attack to alter the perception of a person
partway through their journey, perhaps when it's at the point where they're
most despised (or perhaps in pursuit of that state)

opportunities to make friends or forge communal bonds with people who can help
you.
honestly, what do you have to lose? sure it's hard, but nothing worth doing is
easy. If it were, someone else would have done it already.

maybe let them be destitute.

Algorism in a nutshell:
Everyone gets dollars from their job. Will explain more later, for now trust
that they get dollars. Essentials and infrastructure are free, but luxuries are
not.
To spend dollars, you either go to a showroom or use the nationalized Amazon
(forked, not stolen) - there you can place down dollars to enter a special kind
of queue. Everytime a product is made its distributed to the people with the
most dollars in queue. Every period (week, month, idk) the amount you manually
put into the queue is re-added to the queue - 100 becomes 200, becomes 300,
becomes 400. You can manually add more whenever you like but it's not
retroactive. At the end of the period all your extra dollars are distributed
among your open queues.
That's basically it. It rewards patience and temperance, while capitalism
rewards greed and cruelty.
How to get dollars? Okay so there is a government run job board portal website
thing. Every company can make a listing there, and every person can post
themselves too if they'd rather be recruited. The company pays a different
amount to the government than the worker receives. This amount is determined
algorithmically based on values like supply and demand for labor in that
particular area.
People list 10 types of jobs they'd like to work at any level of specificity
(they'd be arranged into layers of overlapping umbrellas, like queer identities
except more complex) then that data is used both for job placement (consensual
of course!) and data for the "supply and demand" calculation. You can only
change these values once every 6 months, or 1 value every month, up to the user.
The amount the corporation pays to the government is not the same as what the
worker receives. The longer a worker works, the more "stuff" they can buy. They
are rewarded for diligence. However essentials are free so nobody has to save
for retirement.
You can trade stuff for stuff, but not stuff for labor. Small informal
exchanges are fine "if you mow my lawn I'll bake you a pie" but not "I'll give
you 500lbs of gold bars if you build me a mansion" - I haven't figured out a
way to structurally prevent rant besides just saying it's illegal.
Housing is like a library, except you can queue for who gets the spot next. A
person can live in a house as long as they'd like, and when they're done with
it the person highest in the queue can decide if they want to live there. If
not, the 2nd in line gets to move in if they want, etc. Their accrued value
persists if they don't move in, and when moving out an accurate assessment
should be undertaken.
"ah but won't foreign states just hire a bunch of people to move in and out of
houses really quickly like they're doing to my apartment complex so that a
stable source of income cannot be guaranteed and resources will have to be
wasted on assessments and such?" I mean, maybe, but it'd be up to the community
to decide how to prevent that.
Your primary residence is free, you can live there as long as you'd like. If
you want two houses then you need to continuously be the highest value in the
queue for both of them. Same goes for renting and hotels and such - the "owner"
or property manager or whatever needs to maintain their lead by investing time
and value in the property. Otherwise nobody would want to live there. This
would be an example of a self-appointed job.
Self-appointed jobs are like being self employed now. You produce value that
people enter queues for, and in return your stacking percentage bonus
increases. The government will pay you dollars based on the demand for your
good/service, which odds are will be pretty small. But you get to do what you
want, so that's something, and besides essentials are free so...
I wish people would ask me questions so I knew which blanks to fill in.

If you'd like, I can try and explain "killer instict". Though I get the
impression you would prefer to play games that don't emphasize combat, which is
100% okay and valid and should be encouraged.
My understanding of the rules of D&D is that combat is a contest between
two or more entities. Contests need rules, and combat being based on physical
prowess (or magical, or spiritual, or w/e) can be defined. Other kinds of
contests, like "how well did the ranger do at the archery competition" or "did
the rogue manage to convince the diplomat to share the plans" are impossible to
genericize because they are based on situational factors, rather than physical
(or magical, or spiritual, or w/e)

feel about things, or other people. Just don't be mean. Don't hide hatred with

with your actions, and your thoughts. Thoughts that you share with people close

some of the best spaghetti sauces I've ever made have not been stewed for hours
in a marinara.
Instead, they were formed from tomatoes that had been locally grown within my
own state. Helps that I live in a green place, but the most important part is
not the climate but the proximity. Greenhouses are just as tasty as sunlight
and warmth.
instead, I seared them, or rather just cooked them for a short time, and the
result was something that did not taste gross and watery, but instead fresh and
fruity. Like putting mango in salsa, you don't initially think it'll work until
you try it.
That being said, you should cook canned tomatoes for at least 20 minutes on
medium to low heat. In doing so, the flavor profiles will break down and meld
together as the constituent forms of the sauce coalesce, and you'll be able to
hide most of the fresh flavor. This is important for canned tomatoes because
they also bear a hint of "tinniness", from the tin can they're delivered in.
This flavor DNI well w / fresh

in the past, people could eat canned food not necessarily because of the way
that it was canned, but simply the fact that it was sealed and comprised of a
liquid form that was inhospitable to bacterial life. Like vinegar with pickles!
But only for the things that were meant to last for a while - if it was just
for next month, then you don't need BPA liners or microplastic dissolvers or
any of that junk. Just a fully recyclable can that vacuum seals itself shut

posting any kind of link to externally hosted content (even a miniature DNS
like link shorteners) is risky because you don't control the data you're
sharing / pointing to.
If you can, try and remember to download videos you like. Save songs that
resonate with you. Take screenshots of important tweets that other people make.
Then, you can share them when they're thoroughly divorced from the context in
which they were made, and in doing so share information to a group of people
who might not otherwise have heard the words you're sharing.
Like posting Mastodon links on Facebook - can you imagine!

Solid structures with lots of connecting flat pieces (to hold it together) but

An American princess wears turquoise and silver, not diamonds. Though I'm sure
she wears diamonds sometimes too.
