that's how you'd do it on Reddit, at least. With the "original post" part in a
comment. It sorta disconnects the line of connection, but still the data is
allowed to flow forth. So anyone who views it from a certain perspective (like
that of those who own the server it is transmitted upon) could see the
connections formed, and thus create a map of individuals who have interacted
with certain content on the internet.
anyway I'm mostly just doing it so I can talk about my random shit without
profaning a most serious and compassionate topic. Who am I? Just a witch. And a
bunch of others I guess.

I read about half of this:

before I was consumed by the intense urge to prop myself up on a pillow and
listen to you rant at the ceiling at 4am about gravity or the cosmos or
whatever you were thinking about prior to speaking your heart
and then I'd write it down, and cherish every moment of it as I shared it with
my peers and we tried to analyze just what you meant

...zzzZZZzzz...
in old MMOs like City of Heroes or Runescape you could do different emotes and
they'd often have text messages that'd play whenever they were applied. Like
/sleep causing your character to say "...zzzZZZzzz..." it was kinda cute.
Anyway what I meant by that is I'm eepy sleepy goodnight my fellow americans

You can only visit so many places in life. Don't feel bad about missing a few,
the world is large and we as people tend to be quite good at cooking.
However in regards to your main point, I think it's immoral for a restaurant to
be forced to close the way you describe. If it means something to people, it
shouldn't be destroyed simply for the sake of making something new. If people
don't care about it, or if there's something better to replace it with, sure,
but replacing a 40 year old restaurant with a Chipotle feels wrong.

Layoffs are a great opportunity for a bunch of people who worked with the same
tech stack to sit down and think "What could we make together?"
Sure would be nice if there was a group or organization that pre-emptively
reached out to them and said "hey, we're holding a meeting in relation to the
layoffs they did to you. Would you like to attend? If so, think of some cool or
unique parts of your job, and we'll break into groups and discuss things we
could do with those cool or unique things."

if you save one of the biggest kind of can that you regularly use, you can put
the lids of other cans in it. Just, layer them, one by one, until the can is
full. Then you can bend the edges to "seal" it shut, and tada! Now you have a
solid hunk of piece of metal that can be saved and melted down if you ever need
it.
Saving cans is inefficient for space, but the lids can do if you just want a
little bit on hand.
It's not like it goes bad, and what's one can's worth of storage space in your
pantry? Depends on the size of your pantry I guess.

The tech industry is uniquely qualified as
one of the most important components of the modern industrial complex
which requires highly skilled labor to undertake and utilize
which is affected by the dynamic where:education, especially liberal arts
education, tends to produce humans who can see through the lies of authority
yet which is disadvantaged because:tech workers are paid salaries that are just
bonkers in relation to their output ("yeah it'll be done compiling once this
game of League of Legends finishes") (which isn't exactly unfair because
programming is taxing on the brain)
however, the game industry has shown that passion is a suitable exchange in
return for monetary compensation, and thereforepeople who make games tend to be
more leftist, as they are put in situations that higher paid employees are
likely to be able to ignore due to their higher social class
which kinda makes sense, because the most progress towards unionization is
happening in the games industry.

Reminds me of something I wrote last Tuesday.
All things are defined in waves, and if darkness is all around you then light
is sure to find you. Perseverance and fortitude is what avails you, when you've
found yourself in the house of a witch. Or a pleasuredome. Or hell. Or any
other place where positives (peak of the wave) lures you to negatives
(damnation, discorporation, sublimination, de-saturation, dessication, etc)
You'll know it when you see it. I'm not talking about joy like you'd find from
picking a beautiful flower or sharing a gift with another. This is the
seductive kind, the kind that cuts straight to your soul. Be constant, be
aware, know your surroundings, and trust that your heart is what delivers you.
"with mind as my guide I let will lead my stride and step forth out in-to my
own future"

Better to structure your code to avoid them, if possible, for example by using
an array of function pointers instead of switch statements.
unrelated, but once the data is cached from memory, operations like bit
shifting and arithmetic are essentially free. The slowest part of the process
is moving data from RAM to cache so that the CPU can use it.
That being said, CPUs and compilers are VERY good at optimizing that type of
thing these days.

Sometimes when I feel overwhelmed with all the boilerplate I just start coding
and making stuff. Doesn't matter if it works, doesn't matter if it says /
FIXME / all over the place, doesn't matter if it includes header files
that don't exist yet, as long as you're hacking out the mechanics of whatever
operations you need to perform then you can figure the rest of that stuff out
later. The creative urge doesn't last forever, which is why projects get
abandoned, but with discipline you can keep bringing yourself back to fix all
the / FIXME /'s and the compiler errors.

Normalize insta cart shoppers knocking when dropping off their stuff

You could learn a lot about people who use insta cart and get the mistaken

dear corporations:
your employees are your greatest resource.
with them, you can change the world.
without them, you die.
if you mistreat them, they resent you.
if you abuse them, they leave you.
if they leave you, you die.
if you teach them... they grow.
if you care for them, they care for you.
if they care, you are whole.
if you connect them, and give them the freedom and liberty to accomplish their
own ends using the resources that "the social construct you are" provides...
they build for you.
your employees are your greatest resource, cherish them and hold on. Or one day
they might end you.

People love to talk about what the intentions are. However, when a system
constantly produces a different outcome than the one it is "intended" for then
it's perfectly reasonable to assume the actual intention is the outcome it

this felt relevant. like... who am I to say that the wisdom of the masses is
good for anything?
[or just analyze the contents of social media posts. Like, people pretty much
speak their mind in their echo chambers. It's a quirk of the human psychology
that we feel alone and by ourselves when we're with family. That's what makes
it family, the feeling of being one with another. Like... "yeah we're the same,
we get each other, hey btw look out the windows of our collective home"]
(ummmm yeah so basically people tend to speak their mind when in echo chambers
and all social media is a succession of increasingly more accurate echo
chambers that align themselves toward your personality, not ethics and
morality.)
= also the returned value is not necessarily what was on their mind, it could
be something they learned from there. humans.pattern_matching_function_exists

@user-552 @user-553
sounds like something we should dedicate valuable resources to solving. After
all, no structure or entity would want to possess weaknesses (such a
misapplication of purpose and direction) or other such errors in their design.
Like, I bet we could test that and find out.
and if, for example, we find that we no longer possess the capacity for
learning...
well, then maybe that's something we should work on.
because learning new things... that's just an application of development
resources towards broadening our horizons.
do we really need to solve pi to ten bazillion digits? I mean yeah it's cool
and all but most of the interesting stuff happens around zero.
you can always learn to learn, that's one of the neat things about it. It's
self-bootstrapping. As long as you have the capacity to apply yourself toward a
pictured goal, well... then you can learn. And no human or other sentient and
capable being would lack such an ability, because it's intrinsic to our form.
therefore, learn

I'd ask why of course, and then I'd try and find them a solution that didn't
involve taking my stuff. They may need it more than me, but I still need it.
Like... okay picture that feeling you get when in a capitalist society and you
need dollars to live because they are a genericized and fractalized abstraction
of all the various individual mazlowe's hierarchy of needs you have. Then,
think of it like, instead of money being an abstracted form of all of your
needs, think of your needs... each of them, the ones that matter to you, and
abstract them into money. Basically say "yeah sure my time and my labor are
worth dollars, I abstract my needs into money" and then you can kinda see why
capitalism is harmful. I'd prefer to give them what they need, because society
provides what I please, but alas I'm always kept wanting. What good is our
capitalist utopia? what good is our hope? what good comes of us when all of us
have learned how to cope?
I think we could give a bit more if we weren't hanging from the rope

Grocery stores should be central repositories of food that anyone can take
anything from. In addition, apartment buildings and complexes and the entrances
to suburban subdivisions could have stalls that food is delivered to, from the
grocery stores. If you want to help out you could carry food from
store->stall. The stalls would have what the residences they served listed
as things they wanted stocked, like an external pantry that was shared by the
community.
You could also place orders a day in advance and it would be provided for by
the local grocery. If you wanted an exotic good it might have a larger lead
time, in which case you could just go to a distant store that had it.

I'm a good witch, which means I write poems and bake cookies. Okay usually I
make something more nutritious, like "melange". Also I'm good at listening to
people's problems and I always have a cup of tea ready for you when you walk in
the door.
bad witches are kinda evil. They're the type who curse animals with human forms
and enslave the fae by forcing them to work desk jobs and such. They also
propagate spores for poisonous mushrooms in the forest, the kind that LOOK like
they're edible but actually aren't.
but, as all things are defined in waves, so too are the patterns of witches -
for every bad witch, there's a good one just around the corner.

not sure how busy you are, but maybe you could hang around outside the food
bank and offer to trade with other people who come out with 4 pounds of carrots
and 6 whole pumpkins?
when in doubt there's always rice and beans for the peppers. The melons
probably just have to be eaten.
If you don't get to all of them (because let's face it, who's gonna eat all
that melon) then maybe you could feed it to rabbits or something.
this situation is pretty common in rural areas where people have large harvests
of single crops all at once, or in a very short timeframe. However in those
places there's infrastructure in place to distribute your extra, so idk what
you could do here now unless you have friends who are willing to trade.

I guess so. I tried to respond in kind to your original post. I'm not an
academic anymore so if that's what you're looking for then perhaps some time
spent on Wikipedia might be what you're looking for.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-wing_politics
alternatively you could read some anarchist / anti-capitalist literature, like
Kropotkin or Marx. Though I admit they're a bit dated.
You could also check out this website, there's plenty of academic works here,
if you'd like to sharpen your understanding of what their "plan" is aside from
bartering for shit and trading beeswax for lamp oil.
https://theanarchistlibrary.org/special/index
though frankly throwing a book list at a person is not really very kind, so if
you'd prefer to talk to someone who's into leftism I'm open for discussion.
Though as I mentioned I probably won't be able to provide a better academic
perspective than what you'll find elsewhere.

perhaps not a while, but rather "with great difficulty"
difficult things often take time, but not necessarily. We have the power of the
internet now, something that our hundred thousand years or more of starvation
lacked. we can coordinate on a scale that is beyond all reason - a scale that
mirrors the development of the printing press in terms of it's relative
magnitude.
we have been using it to improve ourselves. I mean, the average teenager 50
years ago would be considered an absolute ding-wad today, someone who lacks
basic emotional intelligence and is completely at odds with what we value as a
cohesive and heartfelt society. And yet they were better than those who came
before them. Thus does posterity march forth, taking the world that was granted
to them by their forefathers and stepping out into the unknown of the future
with all the lessons they could bring with them.
what happens when the lessons are infinitely transferable and recordable?

@user-246
is this... undefined behavior? or does it evaluate to 5 every time it's called?
I find that often my art makes me feel intense emotions, not all of them good.
But sharing those emotions with others is a tricky task (so I've recently
learned) because you can easily overload people with negative feelings - just
because you're feeling bad, doesn't mean you need to make others feel bad.
Perhaps they were already feeling bad, and if you intensely and sharply poke
them with your intense emotions while they're in a vulnerable or safe
state/place... you can hurt them, more than you intended by expressing your
feelings.
balance in all things, as does a wave orbit a central axis so too should our
behavior align toward the direction we'd like to travel.

There are two types of people with power, but it's impossible to tell which is
which because anyone that gravitic must necessarily hide their true colors.
The first just wants to hurt people. You cannot reason with them, they want
power for powers sake and they are corrupted by it.
The other is a kind of benevolent fascist, who doesn't want the nuclear
football in the hands of the people because obviously they'd hurt themselves
with it.
The second kind can be reasoned with. Of course people exist on a spectrum, but
these are two extremes that they may be defined by. The second kind can bs
reasoned with. If you can show them how, structurally and immutably, the power
they are to relinquish shall not harm this earth, then they shall grant it to
you. Because at their core they are a kind grandpa herding cats with laser
swords attached to their tails who are hopped up on catnip at all times.

Universal basic income AND universally distributed rations. If nobody goes
hungry, then people can spend their money toward things they care about, and
not things they need to live.
Without the rations, UBI becomes just another tax, levied by the landlords
instead of the government.
With the rations, people can frolic in the street and do whatever they please.
If you aren't too concerned about having enough to eat, why bother with
capitalism? Why not just lie in a ditch?

I love my mom. She has never once harmed me. I love my dad. He is so precious
and important to me. I love my cat, my sisters, my friends and my lovers. I
love my cousins and my half-siblings and all of them put together. I love every
human I meet, there's nothing but kindness [replete], so why am I unendingly
[yearning for] purchase? [a sense of stability or hand hold that a climber
might use to put one foot in front of another]
In all of my trials, the errors of my denials, here on this earth I am defeat.
Goodnight, sweet moon, my dearest precious boy. Goodnight, for tomorrow's your
beckoning ploy. [pillow?]

Before death, there is a last for everything. Your last meal, the last song you
sung, the last time you held someone in your arms and the last time you looked
at the sky in wonder. Then, you die, and there's nothing but stone forevermore.

There's no potential left of me. I am a husk, a shadow of my former
possibilities. None left to manifest, and so I huddle in the shade of what once
was ambition as I wait for the silence to take hold.
