 if I were president, I'd implement "single payer foodcare"
 this is where the government steps in at the distributor layer and pays for food
 all of it
 and the downstream can take as much as they need.
 
 this rewards small farmers, who simply have to sign up for a truck to come by
 and they can put their goods on the truck and get dollars or whatever. Easy.
 
 this rewards large farmers, who can be guaranteed to always have a buyer, so
 long as they respect the will of supply and demand, and adjust year-on-year.
 
 this rewards distributors, who suddenly have been nationalized and can receive
 government dollars while mostly doing the same thing they've been doing.
 
 this rewards the people, who can eat for free.
 
 this rewards the grocery stores, who can compete on things more human than price
 
 this rewards the restaurants, who can always stay busy.
 
 overall I think it's a good idea and a reasonable implementation path. It would
 help a lot of people, and change our world for the better.

 Masturbation is healthy. It takes time, which can be a bad thing, but it's
 legitimately good for you - it releases endorphins and all that. It is not
 harmful spiritually unless you are weighed down by it - this is up to you to
 prove.

 He was the kind of guy that was always looking around, watching the exits. He
 probably knew exactly how many people were in the place. He was cool about it
 too, just, moving his head a lot to get the right angle.
 
 She was the kind of girl who knew your phone number, but would prefer to drive
 for 2 hours to visit your work before texting. She was always four steps ahead
 of any conversation, and three steps behind on life.
 
 Their cat knew what it meant to speak, and would do it occasionally, but mostly
 just wanted to be around people. This is because they raised it well. No, they
 won't tell you how. How did you learn to speak?

 I'm safe I'd say if anyone asked.

 -> file: notes/self-esteem
══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
 I think the main problems I have with my self esteem come from the way we think
 about people without jobs. I hesitate to say that capitalism made me depressed,
 even though it's probably true, because it's not capitalism - it's the way that
 we conceptualize "worth" as our society. I have no dollars attached to my name,
 my numbers are all pretty low. Well, my credit's pretty good, but that's
 because I've never had any loans to default on. I guess student loans, haven't
 been making any payments on those. Or going onto their website, putting in my
 information, and wasting time on something I don't care about.
 
 "but you should care about it! It's important!" oh yeah? I really don't think so
 
 I think it's fake importance. An important decision is "do I want to move out of
 state" or "do I want to try and be a person who is nice, or someone who is
 effective, and while I like both ideas, which one would I prioritize if it came
 down to choosing?" or "I want to build a boat" or something like that. Those are
 decisions, they actually matter. Paying bills and making appointments don't.
 
 I don't want to have to work a job in order to be valued. I want to possess
 value. When I say I don't want to have a job, what I mean is I don't want to
 sell what I make in order to do what I want to productively do. "The merit is in
 the effort" said the participation trophy generation. I'd rather say "do as you
 please because it matters to you." This is liberty, the freedom to be as you
 please
 
 I know I am not valued personally because I can't get what I might want. Well,
 the truth is that I don't want much of anything for myself. I'm more of a
 scavenger, finding shiny rocks and treasuring them more than gold. Gold I could
 sell, and it's good to have reverence for that sort of thing if it comes into
 your life. But I wouldn't choose it, because I'd rather have something less
 valuable but just as worth it.
 
 If someone with money so desired, they could go on the internet and buy a thing.
 I generally shouldn't be doing that, because I have like 202$. The ability to
 get things is something that things are for - getting things. I get that we want
 our things to be accurately priced, but it just... doesn't matter to me.
 
 I think it's important that we have levers to pull and knobs to twist and button
 s to push, but they don't have to be p

══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
 anarchy has never been about theory. it is an attitude.
 you wanna have some state bringing you down? what a waste.
 my computer is a creature. so am I.
 in my room, put like next to like. that's how I organize it.
 or if there's a special slot that it can be slotted into
 or if it can be easily retrieved from this way here...
 
 did you know? there's no theory in just doing what you wanted.
 did you know? some guys still believe the old stories, and that's
 allowed. I'm glad there's no sense in taxes if everyone just does
 what needs doing.
 
 "our city council wants to repave this street, can you help?"
 "sure, go talk to that guy over there, he's our coordinator."
 
 all it really takes is "and why do you want to move these drugs out of state?"
 if the answer isn't satisfactory just kick them to the curb, make a note of it,
 and then relinquish responsibility for making sure they don't deliver baby
 formula laced with heroin or whatever. No idea is perfect, and this doesn't
 reflect anarchy. This is what is anarcho about two common ideas: anarcho-
 -capitalism and anarcho
 -communism. only anarcho-monarchism is unknown entirely, but that's only if
 they don't read my story. Which is long and mostly unrelated, but there are
 many side characters in books and TV shows.
 
 Marceline is more of an anarchist to me than anyone I know. She's so cool.
 
 Sometimes I sing Mitski and imagine she's Marceline, if you don't get it then
 you're a dork
 
 ... anyway, I think hobos would be happier with copper rods than wires. Think a
 PVC pipe made out of metal and tied together with something like a leather thong
 or bungee cord but not glue. Heck PvC is cool too, so long as it's light and
 break-down-able.
