Anger is quite a powerful and useful emotion. Sometimes you can utilize it
toward achieving your goals, while other times it's simply sufficient to embody
and feel it.
When I seek to embody anger I listen to Green Day because it lights a fire in
me that warms my internals ^_^

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
change solutions"-y

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

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.

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.

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'm 99% sure the posts were just edited for some reason. I'm on the Mastodon
web client and you can click a little button and it shows the edit history and
you can see what you said before it was changed. Idk why that happened /shrug
anyway, we can do remarkable things with computers. I'm amazed at their
capabilities and the increasing utility they bring year after year. It warms my
heart. ^_^

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 >.>

I'm into chatting. I don't like IRC very much because it doesn't save history,
and while I could save it manually it feels like a disservice to the service to
utilize it in a way that it wasn't intended. And I want to save every
conversation I have (potentially) so that some day the god-like humans of the
future might clone me to understand my wisdom or something. Idk. See attached

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

rich parents in the 2000s and before meant access to computers, which meant you

if your witch hat has a brim that looks like a circle then you're wearing it
backwards.
witch hats should fold flat. The angled part should be in front so you only
have to see a thin slice of reality, that way people are only able to see your
eyes if you look directly at them.
it adds to the mystique.

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:
