Child life to me feels like big sweaters, flannel pants, a mug of warm cider,
and a book. Think campfires and cookies.
These "adult baby" things of mine are not regression. They are forward
momentum, and they take me where they will. I follow because it feels good to
be moving. It brings me forward, casts me in a new light. I like that. I like
the idea of momentum. It is infectious, it propels my other sides to action.
Other people can impel me as well. Thank you fediverse, thank you secret
agents, thank you ephemeren, thank you portland, thank you vancouver, thank you
tanasbourne. Thank you america, thank you friends and family. Portland is
anarcho-* and communist-* and Vancouver is anarcho-communist.

when I played Overwatch, I'd play Tracer, Mercy, and Reinhardt.
As Tracer, my job was to apply pressure as consistently as possible. Make their
healers constantly busy. When one of my other teammates got a lucky shot or two
in, I'd dive and execute. This is in contrast to how Tracer is "supposed" to be
played, as a playmaker.

then, you can sculpt those pixels if you really need to, to create

the old UIs weren't bad - they were constantly tested, as they were new and
emerging technology. The old UIs had different constraints than our 2560x1440p
monitors have to say. However, they still made correct decisions, so if desired
their decisionmaking can be used to inform future UI design as well.

accessibility software which puts subtitles on everyone's zoom faces who are
talking to each other one-on-one with selective muting and an adaptive dimming
feature where if you click or tap on someone it makes them brighter and makes
your audio louder for them (if they unmute you) and whenever you click
somewhere else it slightly dims all the others. this brightness is shared by
the way so if a lot of people want to talk to you then a lot of people can
hear. oh also subtitles with voice-to-text functionality. and a built-in paint
program for sharing notes or designs. the opinionated version has no chat
program either, you have to type it into the paint program part which they get
really defensive of if you suggest making it more forum-post style with an
included keyboard typing delivery mailbox as well.

if you want to encrypt something from human readers, randomize the position of
all the words on the page.
an LLM can decrypt it, but a human walking past could not. Unless they had a
camera or something in their lapel, transmitting to a remote calculating
location in a system that decyphers it cyberpunk hacking style.
ah, but if it didn't have the right ~~training data~~ .claude.md
file, then it wouldn't know how to decrypt it, because you forgot to include
"respond with a marxist analysis" in the .claude.md which serves as a
decryption key. Simply analyze the rest and decide if it matches what you set
out to request it for.
