sometimes I think about how much more productive I'd be if I had a code editor
that let me draw arrows and smiley faces and such alongside the code. Or if I
could position things strangely, like two functions side-by-side with boxes
drawn around them. Or diagrams or flowcharts or graphs or...
something that would output to raw txt format, but would present itself as an
image that could be edited.

I made an alias that overwrites cd so I don't have to do this. The important
line is line 27, you could probably accomplish something similar like this:
alias cd="cd ${1} && ls -v --color=auto"
I also set it up so I can change more than one directory up using ... or ....
or .....
also I have a few shortcut scripts, cdir and qcd. cdir creates a quick way to
drop a bookmark wherever I'd like, while qcd can make permanent bookmarks. Also
qcd makes it so whenever I open a new terminal it opens to the last directory I
was in, which is nice if you need a new terminal to do something in the current
folder and you don't want to have to walk alllllllll the way back.

When you run out of a seasoning, put the empty bottle in a special place that
you can see before going to the store.
When I carried a purse, I'd put it in there. Could also go in the pocket of a
sweatshirt or jacket that you wear when doing errands. Maybe even just on the
ledge next to your shoes. Something that reminds you to get this particular
seasoning, and no others. It's easy to get others...

Hello, I am a witch.
There's more than one kind of witch, but I promise that I'm the kind you'd like
to have around.
There's another kind, however, that is unlike me in kind but I think you'll
find is just as rare, and just as tempestuous.
I like to think I am good aligned, perhaps not "good" as in "capable" but
"good" as in "benevolent" and "perhaps" as in "unknowable" and "but" as in
"desired" and "desired" as in "what I work toward because it's the right thing
to do" and "work toward" as in "realized according to the effects of my actions
not just by my intentions"
The other kind of witch is the kind that hurts people.
There are many reasons why you might find yourself in the house of such a
witch, but all of them are caused by your desire. Take care in the house of a
witch such as this, and stay no longer than your time allows.
If you find what you're looking for, get out.
If you're almost out of time, get out.
If you lost something, find it, and then get out.
If you run out of time, and things start to "smear", yell out loud your social
security number. If someone's trying to save you, it'll help them know where to
put you when you are returned to your body.
I'm sorry to say, but if things start to smear then life will get a little bit
strange. Just a little. Much better to get out beforehand.
If you find yourself tempted while inside a witch's house, abandon what you
lost because regaining it comes with a cost.
If you lose sight of your friend, then when you see them again you cannot trust
that they are who they claim to be, not inside of the witch's house.
If you lose sight of your friend, trust that they will get out by their own
hand, and find what you want and go home.
Unless, of course, your heart is pure, and your friend is what you want back in
your life again. Then you will trend toward finding them yet again, so find
what you want and get out.
They will try to keep you there, through inaction and professed exhilaration,
but generally they'll do what you command. So take them and get out.
There are many reasons why you might find yourself on the path to a witch's
house, but none of them are to be repeated. It's more of a life event and less
of a venture, so take what you want and go forth.
If you find yourself in my house, take a cookie or a brownie, and please do
come again. The house of a witch such as mine is somewhere you'll probably find
that love and affection are fonder.

We should dedicate ourselves toward making a life out in space - medium term
goals. In the meantime we should advance as quickly as possible, at a rate that
earth can support. Anyone who would demand more is an outcast in our eyes, a

they will]

Elentalus unit idea: serrated kitchen knives for teeth, devouring pumpkin,
misery of the drowned, etc. Halloween style monsters. Witch units have a spell
that dismisses them, and they're summoned with magic items. Except, if two of
that item exist in a province, it upgrades itself, random dice style. In doing
so it gets stronger. The thing is... It summons one for your enemy as well!
Which is why you want to have a witch unit there to dismiss them. Problem is,
she can only dismiss them at close range (10ish?) so she'd better be well
protected. The good news is though that sometimes the higher level items give
bonuses that are hard for them to get. Downside is, you need to have magic
paths to create them that witches can't get - so they become something you
"unlock" through a pretender or random event or even just an investment. Once
one is created, then any witch can create more. As long as you don't lose your
final copy... But as the item's upgraded, it allows you to create higher level
versions (at increased cost, of course)
This only works if gem income scales. Which, coincidentally, is just what
elentalus is known for.
Essentially, theming empowerment to be research, unlocking a particular
capability. Or encouraging pretender design to that pattern. Make sure it comes
at a cost of something else, though...

Anyone who could read what you're saying is aligned to you. Perhaps they
disagree on specific implementation details, but those can be worked out and
the best option tends to rise to the surface over time.
However, the people who *need* to read you won't. They have their own
social media sites, remember? Like Facebook or Parler or the Fediverse. Too bad
Twitter had to die, it was simultaneously the forum of our age and yet also the
biggest source of misinformation alive. Alas.

There's certainly a path laid toward an optimistic collapse. Lucky for us, it
seems to be the one we're on. You can help it along (the optimism part, not the
collapse part) by being kind to the people around you and developing
relationships with people of all different ages. The greater the spread, the
more flexible you can be.
"oh yeah I know a guy who can fix that"
"uhhh I don't know but let me call so-and-so"
"yeah sure I can do that, I'm glad [that guy] told you to reach out"
I'm more interested in reality than fiction, honestly. Fiction can help when
you don't know what's at stake, or you don't know where to go... But I know the
answer to both of those questions, at least to my satisfaction, so instead I
feed carrots to squirrels, sing songs in the shower, and smile at every person
I see in the grocery store.
