 "If I look like a fool, it'll keep eyes on me instead of looking at my friends
 who are stoned and paranoid"
 
 maybe the friends are paranoid because you're acting like a dork and drawing
 attention to the group

 I love programming!! Currently working on learning decentralized and GPU
 oriented computing. It's lots of fun! Plus Bash is a great language, it's not
 funky or hacky at all. Just a great language. Haha suuuuch a great thing to
 play with.
 
 But GPUs are legitimately cool, aside from Bash's purported funkiness /
 hackiness. You can do all kinds of cool things at scale that just don't make
 sense up close.

 you should update the directories at the top yourself, of course. And give it a

 LINUX IS LINUX.
 
 (anything that works on Linux can theoretically be made to work on your
 toaster, if it also runs Linux!)
 
 This is very cool, and if I understand correctly it means that any Godot games
 could theoretically be played on these NEAT as HECK little devices, yeah? So
 cool!

 I feel like you could set up a performance where you walk through your workflow
 on various things and set it to music and make a dope-as-heck music video.
 
 like, the "retro" vibes and aesthetics of your posts on my timeline are always
 a joy to see. I can't help but wonder if they could be crystallized /
 essentialized somehow into something neat to watch.

 I think I fiddled a little bit with the colors because the default background
 was the same as some other color and it was making it hard to do things, and I
 also have a plugin that lets me talk to a local LLM which I sometimes ask
 syntax questions to if I'm offline and don't feel like searching through
 documentation. I think that's it tho

 Also HardcopyPdf is nice, it turns a file into a pdf. Does what it says on the

 And it doesn't need anything more than those lines there in the config.

 make sure you get full disk encryption! I hear it's quite important, but I
 can't use it because I'm an artist and if I like, died or whatever, nobody
 would be able to get my art.
 
 though knowing the reasons why I might suddenly die, odds are they'd just
 reflash the drives with windows or whatever xD

 true but someone could walk in while you're away! the locks on doors aren't
 THAT useful if someone already knows where you live and what your room looks
 like and that you use linux. If you leave for a night they can just, copy the
 hard drives and scan through them at home.

 ah yes like when I used to go to the cantina with my ex-girlfriend in Star Wars
 the Old Republic and bag a stranger to Electronic Role Play with back at my
 ship after a few drinks and some light four play where the four of us would
 play Electronic RolePlay together in the privacy of my ship on the soft plush
 couches or maybe in the padded gym or maybe in the pilots seat so we could look
 at the stars while playing (just the four of us)

 Yep! back in the day be-fore "four play" you could generally only single-play,
 and for "four play" you'd typically find friends be-fore play-ing.

 TINY can of tomato chunks and a big hunk of butter
 
 let it cook until it's smooth consistency, stirring and such. Add paprika,
 cumin, and a bit of oregano.
 
 then put the beans on before the salsa, and BOOM even BETTER nachos.

 make sure you clean grease and such from appliances too! Like, sometimes
 previous renters will spill something down the side of the oven and you won't
 notice because it's right up against the wall / cabinet / fridge...
 
 if you can, pull them out a bit and check to see if there's anything you can
 clean. Cockroaches will eat grease and can live off of it for a long time.

 if you want to solve EVERY housing issue in the United States, at least in the
 short and mid-term, add a ramping tax penalty for unoccupied houses that
 doesn't reset to 0 upon being occupied but rather starts ticking down at the
 same rate that it increases.
 
 Something like 0.5% to 1% of the property value for every month it's gone
 unoccupied as a primary residence.

 you can't start a game of chess with a checkmate. you're not wrong on the goal,
 but the timing would only be possible if a significant amount of other unnamed
 "effects" were in play. Or rather, if a whole lot of other conditions were made
 to be true.
 
 I find the best strategies are the ones that rely the least on externalities
 and potentialities. Fewer points of failure, smaller attack surfaces.

 I had a dream about "what if people listened to me" and it was a melancholy
 kind of sad, the kind that comes after a great tribulation as one picks up the
 pieces.
 
 Food is so important, people grow tired of the same thing every day. They say
 an army marches on its stomach, and our stomachs these days are accustomed to
 variety, taste, and plenty.
 
 It would get better, give it time, and in time our wounds would heal. But
 wouldn't you rather persist in this timeline, the one that isn't doomed, and
 instead flourish in the ways inertia brings us? Capitalism must fall, of
 course, but it will fall of its own accord after we've done our best to
 maintain the world we live in.
 
 "better to be starting from scratch, than lose your path"
 
 ... Yeah, okay, true, but just like justice is its own reward, so too is
 hardship it's own burden.
 
 you can't eat justice 
 
 No, but at least you aren't enslaving anyone.
 
 they would be slaves still, without your patronage 
 
 Liberation for all comes later, I guess. First up is building a safe and stable
 home for us.
 
 safe and stable... Like the one you have now? Like the kind the Democrats
 promise?
 
 Yes, but ideological purity calls me to believe that slavery should not be
 accepted. It should not be something we condone. And yet they do, albeit
 indirectly, and so I am perplexed.
 
 if you want good food, live in the country. Hence why all the suburbs are
 empty.
 
 ... Anyway, 3am musings, gonna program a bit and go to sleep again...

 A wherewolf and a human stumble into a bedroom in the dark of night, their arms
 clutching each other as they make out in front of the window.
 
 Just then, the moonlight appears, and the wherewolf's form begins to shift, as
 strangled cries turn into a cacophanous mess.
 
 The moment passes, and the wherewolf collapses onto the bed, exhausted.
 
 He rests there on his back for precious moments, before throwing himself to his
 feet and putting on his socks and sandals.
 
 Ha glances in the mirror.
 
 He straightens his tie.
 
 He goes to fucking work, again, just as the laundry dings.
 
 When he gets back, it smells musty, so he washes it again with bleach.
 
 exhaustion cares not for form, only exertion. 
 
 The wolf collapses once more into bed, tired from a day of accounting. He
 thinks to turn on the TV, but he slips away before getting the strength to rise
 for the remote.
 
 In his dreams, there are children clutching at his skirt with big bright eyes
 begging him not to sleep. Not to dream. Not to feed. He brushes them aside as
 he always does, and fixes her makeup in the mirror. She glances back at them,
 quivering on the bed like a bear, a shark, a dinosaur, before she sweeps to her
 feet and goes out for a night on the streets, looking for a bar and a stranger
 to meat.
 
 The moon once more reaches it's zenith. He is awoken with a pang of humanity as
 his hunger transforms him back into an ape with lust in her eyes.

 Paying your employees more makes them better workers.
 
 An extra 2$ per hour might mean they can eat out an extra night, they might be
 able to afford a car, and they might be able to focus just a bit more without
 crying in their sleep about an unexpected bill.
 
 With less stress, employees perform better. They are more loyal. They work
 harder.
 
 Pay your employees more. They are your greatest resource.

 remote jobs are less common these days because they're realizing which parts
 can be either automated or are extraneous.
 
 the entire capitalist machine runs on like, 50,000% more labor than it needs.
 It's not that complicated, it's not very revolutionary, just a lot of
 duplicated effort and meaningless communicational transactions.
 
 I'm kind of glad they're getting rid of all the jobs. Maybe it'll free up
 people to do something productive, for once, if only we had the capital to

 my favorite position is doggy style because of course I want to be mounted like
 that drive you keep forgetting to add to your fstab
 
 you're supposed to gesture at "the bond between a man and his horse" or
 something to that effect
 
 men shouldn't fuck horses just saying
 
 first of all the horse would fucking kick them in the balls or break their knees
 
 second they're way too tall so you'd have to find a stool and that's just like
 a lot of effort
 
 third like... no thank you please, get out of my head stupid thoughts I want to
 think about being degraded and horses are too noble for degradation
 
 what the fuck are you even talking about
 
 ... yeah. sometimes it do be like that tho...
 
 "I came here for kink and horny but I left with confusion"

 if your affection toward someone is based on whether or not they pay you (and
 how much), then you are a prostitute.

 they say you should always shop for groceries after a meal, so you don't buy
 the things you want to eat in that moment but instead the things you know in
 your heart to be good for you
 
 but I just always end up looking for desert
