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
them and considered them. Sometimes all it takes is a push, and they'll start
thinking on their own. Like a thought that doesn't go away, they can't quite
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
can say. At least my intentions were honest.

I come from Reddit so maybe I have a different perspective than someone from

"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.

most people think vegetarianism is about animal ethics. Some sorts of
vegetarians think vegetarianism is about health benefits. These entrepreneurs
mentioned here think it's about health benefits because they're thinking "oh
well maybe someday in the future we'll be able to 3D print the "animal" fat we
need for this application, then we'll be able to appeal to ethics vegetarians
too."

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 mean yeah it's cool to watch fireworks and eat barbeque and corn on the
cob, but there's no difference between me and my friend. so

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
see the future. Who can say what our will shall bring, but I think it's

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
as you put them)
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.
but I'm fine, clearly I'm fine, anyone who looks at me knows I'm fine

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.
