She's a cloud of sentient blood mist given form through her telepathic

only see what she wants you to see. Well, what she expresses herself as. That's

the first dedicated to the full image, wonder what happened inbetween? weird,
there's nothing on the record that says - oh, wait, there it is, three for the
first one, four makes seven, then four more is eleven and then fifteen then
these last three are... wait hang on that's even fewer. can you check it again?
yeah sure no problem [doesn't]

I remember sitting in algebra II class when visualizing the distance between
numbers "clicked" for me. I was in a daze, I couldn't remember anything the
teacher had said, but for a moment (several months) I could remember how it had
seemed. Then I built new understandings, and my progress in math continued
relentlessly, more and more each year. it was hard, and eventually calc 1 made
me drop out of college 3 times. linear algebra was the other. (except I did
linear algebra first?) anyway, I always felt like I could see things visually,
from simple arithmetic to vector / pointer arithmetic, and when necessary it
was always difficult to translate it into words and forms. Like... I don't have
time to remember all these rules and operations, I have a picture in my mind
and I can't quite define it. (whatever the equation may be)
similar events happen consistently. they still do. just a few months ago I was
thinking about redesigning integer storage in memory. never twice tho.

I made a World of Warcraft private server where all the default NPCs are
removed from the game and the world is empty. But, every once in a while,
monsters will spawn and attack you Risk of Rain style.
If your character sits down, they stop attacking/spawning. I call it "wow-chat"
because I'm bad with names, but the idea is basically a low stakes social game
that you can pick up and set down whenever you want, while hanging out with
your friends.
there's also treasure and wandering merchants, and I've been thinking about
adding dynamic quests but so far nobody's asked to play it so I've been working
on other things.
it's all open source too so you can host it yourself if you want.

I like to use the alt text to explain my color choices. I'll say "this next
text is in dark blue, the color of the cold glass-like surface of the ocean" or
"the orange background implies a feeling of warmth and serenity, contrasted
with the violet colors of the text which imply sanguine passion" (then I of
course describe the text)
basically, blind people can't see the image, so they don't get the feeling that
the visual data conveys for sighted people. But they understand the texture of
grass, or the feel of wind on their face, or the taste of raspberries. They can
know of staccato music, or how silk feels on their arm.
it just feels fair, to me, somehow. nobody asked me to do that but having the
option makes it feel important to me.

human brains tend to start ignoring signals when they become normalized. Like,
if you are consistently exposed to the same smell you get used to it, and you
stop smelling it. same for noises, and other signals.
it's the same with information, I think, which is why doomscrolling is so bad
for our brains - we go numb and desensitized! It's not good to have all that
bad news all the time.
I bet people believe in the "just world hypothesis" for the same reason.
Essentially, optimizing for equilibrium in all things.
I personally believe true justice is when everyone gets what they want. And if
someone wants that the other person doesn't get what they want, then they don't
want true justice. Like, for example, hateful people can never be justified
because they want another's life to be worse. or they want someone to be wrong,
which creates a contradiction - you can't give both people what they want if
one person wants the other to lose.

there's this really fun video game I like to play called "Legion TD 2" - it's
based on a Warcraft3 mod.
In this game, you make tactical and strategic decisions on a fixed term - a
competitive game between 4 or 8 players with an incredible array of randomness.
it teaches you to work with what you got, and to make decisions based on your
opponent's weaknesses. Good luck figuring out what they are, though, as you
can't just memorize them out of a book. You need to adapt, in the moment, to
the decisions of your foes, while primarily focusing your attention on
accomplishing a different task.
I really like it because it's taught me to be strategic in plenty of other
ways. I used to love the game Overwatch because it required adaptibility. The
game was always changing, so no strategy stuck forever, but every match you'd
play against a slightly different opponent.
but then Blizzard changed the game because they wanted to make more money, and
it got worse and worse at what I liked about it. Sadface. : (

the more people we have thinking about what to do next, the more perspectives
we can have on the problem. Sometimes really difficult or important things
(like how to get to the next stages of political liberation) can benefit from a
multitude of voices, but once consistency is achieved they can apply themselves
with a single voice.
community is how we communicate. Communication is good, I think. Can't help but
wonder if we're all here because we share an interest in
open-source-so-actually-usable communication methods.
community isn't everything, but it's something, and everything's useful.

be careful, recursion can cause stack overflows.
better to run function pointers from a loop. That way you can operate as long
as necessary. Just make sure you don't get in an infinite loop...

ah yes but then how will my comrades come for my things know where to look? my
precious precious drives may be less safe inside of the computer case but at
least then someone I can about can find them.
or what you're saying is that a basic part of situational awareness is having a
plan for this kind of thing with the people who care about you? Ah, well,
nobody cares about me like that. Just a couple normies who want nothing but
business as usual.
wonder if I can open up my hard drives to "read only" SSH access? Or maybe I'll
just make the important files into a torrent. Or perhaps marking them as
"downloadable locations" on Soulseek? Plenty of options, all of them require
someone to care enough about your junk to want to archive it. Something
something ipfs?

Do you ever think about how you're not actually a person but instead just an
instantiation of a collection of traits and behaviors generated from a template
that is the randomized product of two other forms and trained through a
lifetime of adaptation and subjected to trials of increasing difficulty and
frequency?

Just treat them the same as you always have, whatever forms and limitations,
Otherwise what's the point? There's no reliability! What if you're shot? What

another spark? What's wrong with you my friend, are you alright or on a bend?
What's wrong in your sight, that you'd wander into this own end? Well, take

alright America, I hate to put too fine a point on it but you either need to
kill capitalism or kill yourself.
{via global warming and fascism, if it wasn't obvious}
Obviously, there's only one correct answer, and if you pick wrong then you'll
be stone forevermore. Stones are fucking useless.
so... how to get from point A to point B... well, let me know in the comments,
like comment and subscribe, share with your friends, and then go back to sleep.
Yeah, thatll help. That'll fix things. im-doing-my-part.jpg
really though, all you can really do is get ready. prepare for whatever you'd
like, the future will always surprise you. Take solace in your friendships, and
build connections to others where you can. Make friends abroad, make friends
nearby, make friends with your garden, your home, your dog, make friends with
the postman or the lady who makes you coffee. but most importantly, just be
yourself. be who you were meant to be. don't ever apologize for sincerity, it's
insincere.
