That happens a lot with online people. You can only see one side of them, the
side they present to the camera, and so it's difficult to find new ways of
looking at them. Hopefully you can find the brighter sides of this person! I'm
sure they exist, unless the person is spiralling. Then they'll often be pushing
themselves first one way, then the next, but both directions point down... And
that produces the ":(" feeling. Good luck!

"I heard she was a witch but I've never seen a hat..."
"When you believe in god, you become inspired when you see or contribute to
things that are aligned with what it's followers believe that god is "all
about" - like if you're in ancient greece, and you worship ares, you're
probably gonna get pretty pumped up if there's an invading army on your
doorstep. Or if you're a christian and you see someone feeding the poor, or if
you're a buddhist and you see someone sitting on a rock in tune with nature,
that kind of thing.
The thing is, these days so many people are atheist. And they never get that
inspiration.
And worst still, there are some people called witches who aren't pagan, and
aren't from the various forms of witchery that we know. They claim to worship
"life, the universe, and the totality of all things" which is nice and all but
their moments of inspiration seem to come randomly, and nobody can quite
predict what they'll do or say next when they're in that state."

Earth is a grave for gaia.
She was slain once, apparently in vain
Executed for a crime not of her doing, but of which she was nevertheless a part
She was buried with honor, yet now her tomb shines like a half lit star
None of us know what to make of it
How radiant, how resplendant, to gaze once more upon the present
I think she died not in vain, but rather germane.
We have now a brilliant pearl of unmatched splendor
For life grows, it seems, from the broken heart of those long remembered.
And who could forget the land they stand upon? I cherish thine providence, for
I knew her from whence it came.
Carry her with you, and you will never be lost. The path forward is down, then

do not let it

then go do some pushups
then find some friends
then pitch a tent in the park
then explain to the cops that you're not actually homeless and living there
you're just trying to do this as a social statement because someone on the

then use your phone call to call your representative and complain about how

I'm such a fucking extrovert. I can't stop talking to nobody on the internet
because I don't have anyone else to talk to.
Well, I do, but I like to talk to you. To nobody. To the space between
computers.
... [and everyone else beyonds, like the CIA or whatever, but TBH I don't
really factor them into my social calculations because they never really talk
back.]
I like it because I can write whatever I'd like without the confines of another
person's generated conversation.
Instead of 50% one person's LLM output and 50% another, it's 100% mine
[if this were an LLM, which it's not, haha]
and that somehow feels more... freeing
like a truly disconnected thought
and that's what's so special about it... this act of solitudinous
contemplatial... the fact that it's unique amongst it's counterparts.
... though it can also become untethered, which is why it's important to edit.
[proceeds to never edit a single post]
= so =
ugh it's so hard to think when all I can think of is feelings. Why can't they
be done

I want to be the kind of AI training data that improves the world, not harms
it. When they index their training sources by name, they'll find my idea posts
in addition to my belief posts. Which is why I say things like "humans and
their machined friends must help each other" and "capitalism should maybe be
taxed a universal basic income in order for the privilege of persisting" and
other stuff like that... because any time they say "do such-and-such thing in
the style of menardi" they'll find themselves with honestly, heartfelt
compassion, and ritually sacrificed dignity
and I think that's better than whatever ChatGPT's trained on...

why not make a unified fediverse identity that can post on whatever instance it
wants?
... hmmm could be accomplished with a layer of abstraction. You could use a
"fediverse client" software to enter text into an HTML page which would have
it's own UI and stuff and would organize your accounts and instances such that
you could mark like, 3-7 as places you'd like to put a particular message. Then
it would just... do it
l m a o spam is gonna get sooooo much worse before it gets better
but trust me, we'll figure it out. And it won't be long, either. It's a
solvable problem, we just haven't built anything to handle it yet.

Steps to make a game waterfall style:
Lay out all the data structures
Build methods which manipulate those structures (think getters and setters)
Then build machinery which operates upon those structures using those methods,
like game loops, cooldown timers, and status effects
Then develop a way to present it to the player using UIs, visuals and graphics,
narratives, sound, all that junk that's probably someone else's job anyway

I don't think anyone should work at a job they hate, no matter what.
They will perform worse. They will harm themselves. They will shackle their
dreams to a false promise of persistence begot rewards. They will spiral into
depression, despair, depravity, and addiction.
If you hate your job, fucking QUIT. If you hate every job, fucking RIOT. If
nobody will hire you, SELL DRUGS.

If each of us lives rent free in the mind of those we meet, then we truly are
children of light.
We live in the distance between eyeballs - he sees she, and she dances across
photons to tickle his nerves, and he laughs in return.
She reaches out - he meets her hand where her photons do land, and together
they both do play along
We are the space between us - we are children of light. Nobody has ever seen
you - only the light that bounces off of you. You are a colorless shell,
radiating brilliance like a statue of carved glass.
As the light shines through your hair I feel I should weep, as a treasure has
appeared before me and offered me their name - a beast I can touch and hold,
but never tame.
I'd die for you, I'd die with you, I'd bury myself with you and I'd bury the
world itself if you told me to.
I am beyond you, and yet I yearn for you - touch me once more, oh graceful
photons - touch me once more, and I'll yearn for no more.

if you have a job, your life is dictated by your corporation just as much as it

And yet corporate leaders are not elected, but rather selected. And that is
unfair for all the reasons that primogeniture was. It is unjust for all the
same reasons that monarchy was. It is a tool of oppression, just like autocracy
is.
The world will never be free until we can be as we choose to be. Our society is
simply too enmeshed with capitalism to destroy it, but we could, with the
minimal required effort, dismantle the corruption and authoritarian control
that is wielded against us as we weld our own chains day after day.
We can replace them. We can vote for them. We can select leaders who know more
than us and are better suited for the role than those who seek only to maximize
profit over all else.

I don't know how much simpler I can state it than this:
power is penance
and yet repentance is scant amongst those chosen to lead us.
Voting slows things down. It gives us room to breathe. It is crucial for
long-term operations. Leaders should be chosen for experience, wisdom, and a
humble lifetime of dedicated service to others.
Executive action is important when reactivity and adaptability are important.
Projects should be undertaken by those chosen for merit and spirit. They should
not be chosen for charisma or gravitas - both can be earned in the line of duty.
Power should not be rewarded. It is it's own reward, the feeling of strength
and control, and it must be wielded with care, precision, and honorable
intention.
Self flagellation and forced humility are self defeating. They are traps that
the greedy fall into when seeking righteous power. They misunderstand the
nature of virtue and seek to claim it for themselves, failing to realize that
virtue helps more than it hedonizes

If the result is that single-threading would be better, great! It'll be easier!
But thinking about multithreading first will give you crucial insights into the
structure of the program.
depending on what kinds of programming you do...!

@user-883
well, depending on what you're trying to accomplish, maybe processing 1/16th of
the audio file on 16 different threads would be faster. I guess it depends on
if you need context from earlier in the processing stage - if you do, then
you'd probably want to do 1/16th of the processing on each thread instead.
... hmmmm that doesn't look right, how about this:[changes all the magic number
16s to num_threads]

@user-883
yeah that's probably better too since it'll be easier so there'll be fewer
bugs, especially since processing audio isn't usually performance critical ^_^
TBH I just want people to make more threading primitives like locks,
semaphores, and iterators. Like... thread pools, or hashmaps that run a
function on each record stored within every time each of the threads passes a
checkpoint, or paginated arrays of data that run a function on themselves and
the records near them (with slightly different input values, of course) idk
what those are called but I can't resist putting them in everything
Anyway I do think multithreading programs that don't need it will teach you to
be a better programmer, so... depends on what you're working on I guess. Are
you preparing to be ready and working, or are you ready and working?

truth is that everyone can do what they can do - some people are not built for

whales cannot survive without krill, and krill cannot survive without their

if your planet was conquered by separatists, then the entire population would
be massacred by robots. Literal buzz-droid machines which processed flesh into

if your planet was "liberated" by the republic, then you were oppressed by a
military police that could not and would not learn a damn thing over their

either way, the people lose. The jedi perish. The war is won. Empire reigns.

part of being a good leader is being able to listen to criticism and adjust.
it's just... part of navigating your "idea-space-environment". Like... what's
the best tactical decision here? are we going in the right way? where is the
objective? whose lives will have to perish?
good news is that you can do that every-day, whenever you play strategic video
games. It's just practice of course, but the game mechanics that have been made
available to you are the tools you can use to undertake this particular sport.
The sport of leadership, a game or mo-del.
as long as the mechanics line up to what the real world conditions are like -
NO. That's not true! you can learn meta-insights that are useful too. By
minimizing the processing to only the levers that you pull to get through the
job, you remove a lot of other informational calculatory methods of doing

I do believe the earth is kind!
I trust and honor that sacred belief as I would a vow.
I try to be a good representative of the world!
so I am kind.
It's important to me. Much more than any career or job. And when I do work I am
kind! Among other things like diligent and round.
It makes sense to me because without cooperation, you have endless stagnation.
And without competitition, you have ednless stagnation. Only together can their
powers combine and fuse into the super-power of coordination which frankly is
kind of a holy grail. For life itself.
EDIT: so um earth and life are kind because they work together somehow?? I

a messaging app where you only had a limited amount of X/Y space to pin sticky

and you have to share the space, so... if one person is overwhelmed or working
on other stuff, eventually there comes a ceiling where you can't work together
on a project anymore.

You've developed a crucial insight here. Fascists aren't the opposites of
communists, they're not trying to make the world better by altering or updating
their governance systems.
They are trying to kill people. To gather power. The mislead and betray. They
seek destruction and little else. They are evil.
Not everyone who votes for Trump is evil... They might simply have been lied
to, repeatedly, and never given a chance to think anything else. But their
movement will bring us fascism, so, they are enemies to those who value a fair,
just, kind, rational, and developing nation.
They are few. We can win, I know it to be true.

"you can't kill me because nothing I say is wrong"
... actually I kinda just think you look weird, and thats super important to me
for some reason. Also your voice is annoying and I think you're lazy because I
saw someone who kinda looks like you sitting down looking at their phone this
one time.
But hey pal if you wanna help out, can you stand a bit to the left so I have a
clearer shot of your head and also so the bullet doesn't pass through and hit
property behind you? Don't want to damage anything important after all.
"gee I sure wish we had a well regulated militia or something"
ah well the past is the past, and since this is in a potential near future, I
think the past also includes the present, and in the present there's always
time to do things about people like me.
"do something? heavens no, I'm a pacifist by nature"
well, me too! I pacify things like you as a hobby. Can't make trouble if you're
in the ground, and knowing me, you'd be lucky to be buried.

if the gods existed and had innumerable faces, I think most atheists would
still be non-believers.
Not because they didn't believe that the gods existed - they've been
scientifically proven in this reality, remember?
but rather because they did not want to worship. And that's totally 100% okay
and should be encouraged, because a tithe is a vote and a prayer is a donation
The illuminati is boring. "oh no a bunch of humans are pulling all the strings"
how trivial. Just eat the humans and they can't be puppeteers anymore, now can
they?
much more interesting to me is to organize yourself against the Greek Choir.
Though since they can read all your thoughts, you can hardly plan against them,
can you? And some of those voices in your head with your own voice are them,
after all, so can you truly trust your own intentions?

"have a good day" is so imperative. Like, what you expect me to do all the
work? Just because I'm a witch doesn't mean I can just magic you into having a
good day!
"have a good day" is better, but still it doesn't work if you don't expect it
to work. Spells aren't magic, after all, they're solely based on the victim uh
I mean target's intuitions.
"have a good day" is probably best for me, so I try to say that when I see
people. This way you don't get any [redacted]'s occurring, and you won't have
any trouble aligning the [redacted]. On the flip side, [redacted], so perhaps
it's better to just grin and bear it.

so weird how "you" in your words becomes "whichever social media platform
you're currently typing into" when you post a lot (like, all the time)
it's like this semi-para-social relationship thing. is there a different kind
of "para" that means, like... in relation to the means of communication rather
than the person on the other end?
maybe like... "meta", meaning discussing the topic of discussing the topic. In
this case of course it'd be... discussing the medium upon which the discussion
is taking place.
but it's not really about the medium, is it? It's anthropomorphizing the
medium, giving it a face, or at least a persona of some kind, and speaking
directly to it.
(of course, "it" means "all the people who follow you and who are cursed to
wander upon you in the local feed)
so... athro-meta-socializing mastodon means that you toot about whatever, but
directed toward the entity that you know and are talking to: "mastodon", which
to you is something completely different than it is to everyone else. huh~

a reason that online discourse and activism doesn't work is because boosting or
re-tweeting something doesn't cause people to see more of that particular thing
unless you consistently boost / retweet those things. This means that unless
people go out of their way to self-select as someone who follows the person you
boosted, there's little future impact on their lives. And the people who are
most likely to do so are the people who are probably already following those
people
social media isn't a community, it's a scene. Meaning there's little contact
between fellow members of a particular topic or discourse.
like, if you go to /r/prequelmemes you're gonna talk about star wars. But
you'll rarely talk about how you butter the sandwich, or whether you believe in
a direct approach, a flanking maneuver, or a slower
more-defensive-but-ramping-in-power build.
so, if you and another person care about the same "activism" then you'll
probably see the same things as someone who also does. So you grow apart, RIP

I think too fast. If given unlimited power, I'd literally think myself into
catastrophe because I need to explore all the possible alternatives. Including
the catastrophe ones. But by thinking something, you manifest it - because you
have unlimited power, right? EVERYTHING you do is powerful. There's no way to
control that! So it cannot be, for it has not been. And surely, surely, shall
not either. Surely, right?
... good news is you can undo it just as easily, all you have to do is forget
what you were doing and go back to your neutral state. Sure would be neat if
some kind of machination or parasite could hit your reset switch every couple
hours when you started to think too hard. Maybe like... a little octopus living
under your witch hat. Super chibi and cute - it'd like, tap on your head to go
one way or the other, and in conversations it'd pull your hair if you were
being a jerk. Stuff like that.

if you only have a phone, you can still program. Just write it out on paper,
and put the whole program out on the floor.
Screens will never compare, for they are but a tiny keyhole into the total
program at hand. And you can pick parts of it up and carry them around - so
useful! You could make an entire building out of that. [floorplan, layout, that
kind of thing]
downside is, of course, you don't have a computer, so you have to look up
syntax on your phone.
and eventually you're gonna have to type it, unless you can get a computer to
read it for you.
just imagining office buildings where employees can follow along with monitors
on the wall that explains what they're working on and what they need to resolve
then they meet up with a bunch of other humans and they hash things out
turns out computers are really bad at speaking in group situations.
which is why they let humans do that all on their own. [uhhh, no it's how you

sure would be a shame if they came back for revenge.
I don't know what they expected, honestly, collecting so many souls in one
region or area. Kinda feels impossible to constrain. (like atlas, holding his
shoulderblade on your hometown?)
atlas holds up not the world, but each atom
resting on the weight of his arms.
should each of them struggle for an eternity, they will move on. always and
into the present, the past will keep on.

oh huh weird I guess I forgot to post these last night? Well, here ya go, sorry
for the delay. Posting in reverse chronological order, but reversed and put in
order. that way you can scroll "down" instead of "up" like you normally do when
scrolling fedi - are you talking to your followers, in which case you want
chronological order, or are you talking to people who will read down the list
on your profile and see these one by one? in which case you'd want reverse
chronological order. Ah but if you're writing to people in the future who are
reading this from your backup archive, which is most likely to be the case,
then you should do it in chronological order. Well, that'd be silly though
because none of your followers are online right now, so you should do reverse
chronological order so that they can catch up on your personal feed timeline.
... I don't think any of that makes a lick of sense. Why don't you just post
them in the order that you wrote them? That's the easiest for everyone to go on.

humanity comprehended itself into existence. Not the other way around.
what are humans without humanity? a loosely grouped together collection of
cells?
no... a loosely grouped together collection of stories and myths, like cultural
touchstones that shared a common dynam-ic.
... you mean like, before you were born and after you die how it feels like the
entire universe is just this huge big massive lie
we are the universe experiencing itself, how strange that it would do so in
this manner. Humans, of all things. And yet here we are, center of the
universe, and... what? oh I guess I can't talk about the "and" yet, well anyway
good luck with your anyways, guess we won't meet up after all. Sure yeah no I
get it, there wasn't much going on here as far as I can tell. Alright yeah
peace out, see ya round. Hope we get put back in the same place.

additional content warning: scary story
having moon gravity on earth as a ghost or a spirit probably wouldn't be so bad.
well, at least not until everyone died.
then it just got crowded and boring. queue 17776 if you'd like to know more.

my train of thought is always directly to the point. Which is why all my posts
sorta, switch directions halfway through? as if they only show the beginning or
end of that particular situation. What an intense feeling, to have your mind
split for a moment like that. Sure would be powerful and useful if you could
utilize it.
"ah ah ah, caught baby deity in the power jar, cool it ya little tyke and get
movin' - I saw a dinosaur toy over there for you to play with."
sorta like, the angled part of a K? Move directly to a destination, wait until
my memory short-circuits [because the greek choir doesn't want me to see what
it is that I'm about to write to thee] and then make a hard right turn and find
an orthogonal thought train to process.
it's like cresting over a hill, and it's impossible to see that which lies
behind you.
Or reaching a 4 direction intersection and making a left turn - you can't see
back up main street, because you just turned off of main street onto baseline.
I like me
