Your mouth likes to eat
Your belly likes to fill
Your muscles enjoy exercise (and stretches!)
Your mind likes to think.
Why is it gross to think of your colon enjoying to poop? Does it prefer beans,
because they keep things moving?
Why is it gross to think of your under-arms sweating? Does it prefer not to
smell, or does it wish there were people that liked it without deodorant?
Do your toes think of other people as you walk toward them? Do your fingers
feel the face of your lover as you pull them close? Or is that for the brain,
the thoughts processing of all things mundane, the stuff which feels somehow
more "you" than the rest of you.
How absurd. You are you. You enjoy icecream, you enjoy the beach. You enjoy the
stars, and you enjoy the laughter around you. There is nothing that separates
you from you, for you are your only champion.

The media tells you to resist your parents, not their unjustified demands.
The media tells you to resist your government and culture, not its homogenaeity
and oppression.
The media tells you what it needs to in order to confuse you and hinder your
movements, for the media is an arm of capital and capital wants you working
below your best.
The best thing you could be doing is fighting capitalism. All things of peril
stem from it, and we can work on the bad and the unworthy and the lazy and
selfish and unkind and all of the others after capital is slain.

after all, according to their own capitalist theory, money is just an
abstraction of data on the desires of their market. and surely, as capitalism
"trends towards efficiency" (yeah right) the data corresponding to "what is
most efficient" is just as useful as the money that actually describes the
"flow" of goods and services through the made-up economy
so surely we could abolish currency and simply utilize an interest based
economy based on what we're naturally drawn to as humans, right? Oh wait WALL-E
has a society like that, and it wasn't great for us. Apparently there must be a
structural coercion toward productivity, right?

never stop learning
be yourself, but... recognize when "yourself" could be improved
and improve that, over time, when you learn about why you are flawed, and how
to become better
and when you are improved, relish yourself, savor your accomplishments, cherish
your heart, and honor those who helped you
be yourself
never stop
but do that which improves you
never stop learning
never stop being
you can get there, wherever there is, but know that what lies between is more
important than what is on the other side.

Internationalize amazon and walmart and you'll have fixed most of the problems
of globalism.
But you can't fix anything if you don't have power...
It's important to focus on how to get power. Keep in mind "what to do when you
have power" but don't let it dominate your thoughts. Focus on claiming your
right to determination.
Steps to revolution:
1. Invert power structures with unions
2. Care for people with mutual aid
3. Vote for the Democrat so we have a few more years of peace
4. Teach people to always be learning
5. Connect to people on a personal or spiritual level
6. Make the world a better place, whether that's by sweeping a street corner or
helping people smile, it doesn't really matter how. What matters is the
intention.
7. Improve your self and your life. Do pushups, eat better, drink more water,
spend time writing (writing is thinking), and take time to sit and stare at the
flowers.
8. Kill the part of yourself that cringes. Everyone's figuring things out and
its okay to say "haha okay then"
9. Spend time with animals.
10. Make mistakes. Apologize for them. Learn from them. Stay mobile in your
character. Develop new ways of being.
11. React with vigor when the time comes. This vigor will only be violent if it
is caused by violence. Much more likely is a strength through organization. We
can do it if we do it together!
12. Show up every day, but don't hang around if everyone's resting at home.
It's okay to stop showing up if things are on pause.
13. Trust that your allies are working. Or resting. Or preparing.
14. Plans change, planning remains.
15. Dream of a better future. It is within reach.

today I had someone ask me for an apology. They've asked several times before,

for being persistent, but not for being impulsive, and that wasn't good enough.
I can't help being impulsive! I'm adventurous! I crave excitement and joy!
But I'm sorry that I pushed him too hard. I'm sorry I hurt him. And...
apparently that's not good enough. He doesn't want me in his life, he can't
fucking let it go. And he calls me selfish. Says I don't respect him, based on
one night out of 5 years where I tried too hard to get him to enjoy life.
I'm sorry I can't fix your depression, guy, but like, at least I tried. You
could have at least tried the things I suggested. You could have at least tried
to follow my advice.
whatever.
it was literally just a walk in the park

for hurting people, but I never apologize for doing what I believe is right.

as many as there are people to work with. multiplied by slightly less than 2
because the average person has less than two hands) errr wait shit
on the sixth I mean seventh other hand, there comes a day when you realize that
the journey is something that is always changing, and if you expect stasis you
will fade into despair and your illusions of immortality will shatter as the
crushing weight of death approaches like a freight train
on the eighth hand, eating nine hands is something that seven is known to do in
their "post immortality crisis"
on the ninth hand there is nothing because seven ate nine.

people? oh yeah I know "people". they're all a bunch of bastards.
good, bastards are the best fighters
not if your fight relies on fighting for something you believe in. There's a
zero percent chance that you'll get everyone to believe the same thing because
people naturally gravitate toward filling the idea space equally and finding
niches to fit themselves into
ha true - thinking of successful revolutions of the past, they've always been
caused by material conditions creating insufficiencies that must be resolved
through violence. and then, the people fighting can all agree on something like
"we must have bread" or... actually that's pretty much the main thing people
need
and yeah, sure, wealth inequality is unjust, but they're careful to only take
enough to ensure that we're sufficiently placated.
but they're always taking more, and someday soon they'll take too much.
... I hope, for my sake, that I'm not around when that happens. But I'm not too
hopeful in that regard

have no fear, people who are annoyed will block you and you'll never know, and
people who like you just haven't seen you yet.
that's how mastodon works. gotta keep posting until you find your people.
comment on things, boost things, and read through people's profile pages.
that's how it works!
this is the place to be annoying, because "annoying" is really just "weird" and
"weird" is for here.
It takes time, but eventually you'll find someone or three who get you and
they'll boost your stuff to all their friends who get you and then you'll feel
less annoying. That's how it works! You can help by boosting things.

Internationalize amazon and walmart and you'll have fixed most of the problems
of globalism.
But you can't fix anything if you don't have power...
It's important to focus on how to get power. Keep in mind "what to do when you

since I quit cannabis like, a month ago or whatever, my artistic output has
dropped by ~90%
my house is a little cleaner, but I still feel consistent spikes of negative
emotions.
I still have trouble with all the same things I used to, like buying groceries,
filling hormone prescriptions (seriously why is it EVERY month jeezzz) and
working on productive projects
I still spend hours staring at the wall begging myself to do anything else,
like a prisoner in my own form
I still feel like all the delusional thinking is still around (kinda hard to
tell haha who would have thought) but I'm seriously missing the magical
thinking, which was basically the same only it was fun and silly and positive.
Now there's only negativity.
I'm still hyper-critical of myself and others, I still make myself and others
feel like shit, and I'm still a bad person who believes all the right things
but still can't seem to make a positive impact in people's lives.
I'm so tired of failing -> learned helplessness T.T

okay instead of algorithm music what if we just paid DJs 24/7 and they could
make whatever they wanted - y'know, like artists, who curate the nature of a
moment
they could rotate in shifts for each type of channel and boom suddenly you've
re-replaced airwaves, just... this time replicated on the internet. That way
you wouldn't have to waste that radio bandwidth.
seriously internet infrastructure would be so much more comprehensive and
durable if we sent bits directly through "sound" waves (radio waves, not sound
waves) - but alas, we can't do that, even in very targetted ways, because the
ocean's too choppy, and any sufficiently powerful radio blast would be
================== stack overflow ================
that's why you can't trust in peace. you see, war's the only answer, otherwise
you'd have strange little competitions between one another. much better to
focus outward, and direct your attention to external areas instead. like china
or the sudan.
"ah but that's murder, you can't abandon a unique part of your whole. For the
same reason that it's important to preserve plant and animal species, because
you never know when some part of them will be utilized for some biological
purpose! We know so little about the natural world, and if we just spent some
time, and energy, we'd realize there's very little else that is precious on
this earth.
who cares about gold. who cares for the jewelry. we're better than decorating
our resumes and polishing our accounts. we, as humans, can solve every
issue that animals are likely to face. AND WE DO WHAT? How careless, how vain.
To watch your earth in peril and [vane/vanity]
there is no more important task to any human on this earth than the
preservation of our world, our species, and our [heart/heartfelt empathy and
kindness and trust]
we can figure out the rest later. Real life? what the fuck is that? When's the
last time your life has felt "normal"? We are in DANGER. and you pull children
from traffic, don't you?
who the fuck gave these people all of your money they clearly
haven't got the will or the talent to well utilize it. Don't you realize that
you as a species can GO wherever you WANT. You can FIX things. [oh dear she's
animal cam again] like BRIDGES that are PASSAGEWAYS over the FLOWS.
... oh deer, they're so passagewayenthusiast. us riverstones love to hear them
walk past, the click of their hooves on the shallow forest's [pourest?].
moss is the most alive. amongst all the species of plants and animals, moss
holds the most life. we are carbon based lifeforms, and moss absorbs
the most carbon from the air. It's basically the coolest plant too, because it
can be watered with misty air. Hence, why moss is common in the
pacific northwest, canada, and probably forest places in the north of eurasia
too idk if they have moss over there, never been.
anyway rich people who are told "yes" all the time have a difficult time
understanding the nature of choice. I mean, if one of their servants approached
them and asked "hey do you want to build an orphanage in uganda" they'd
probably be like "fuck yeah I do" and then suddenly they're 400,000$ richer
it's not alright. Seriously, how the heck would they even use all
those resources? And yeah, I get it, inflation would be sooooo much more
expensive, but here's the thing - inflation is a measurement of how much the
rich take from us each year. And it's marginal, too, so 3% inflation
means they took 3% more from you compared to last year.
It's impossible not to accrete as a business, [lega/legal institution], or
governance if you levy a tax. The influx of value has to come from somewhere,
and if each year your groceries are 3% higher in cost, then you are being taxed
3% more.
"Compound interest is the most powerful force in the universe"
- a civilization 3 quote
okay. I don't want to do the math. How, uh... how much is that? Here's the deal
though - the prices of goods and services consistently goes DOWN over time. So
things get cheaper. So it doesn't FEEL like you're being taxed more, but... you
are.
And now they're taking away HOUSES? I mean c'mon they're sticks in the mud.
They aren't worth HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of dollars. We can just BUILD MORE??!?
Honestly you haven't been this extreme since you were still RIDING HORSES. Do
you want your children to be slaves?
okay -.- look -.- so it's really not that hard at all >.> just gotta do
what you're built for and walk. That's it! Take as long as you'd like! All we
have to do is walk when we're on strike.
It's easy. You can sit down if you want to, honestly walking for a long time
takes a lot out of you.
But you know what else does? WORKING. Hey we should figure out what's the
optimal amount of break time, so when we really have to work out we can work as
hard as we're able
"yeah I heard from a friend at Company Co. that they do it this way because of
the memory fault cache maintainer. See what he said (in great detail because of
course anyone can know about this most esoteric of concepts) was that you
should rotate the riboflam or serenade the gizmonotron (no I didn't name it)
and then warbles will contain moodles, whose kit-and-kaboodles will timble into
these droplets, and that will fix the hole in your wing, precious royal swan
fable. (yeah you guys get really into it sometimes haha but hey when you're
basically gods, that's how humans are played.)
... anyway I'm going to go play video games, say goodbye to your brothers
(the families of soldiers I blew up in videos games like Call of Duty or the
legend of shadows and raids)
"oh uh yeah sure go for it, we're just bits on the computer we barely knew her"
whoa. that's totally legit. (says someone reading this) thanks [bro/girl] so
are you.
beep boop gonna murder some bits, brb
[plays Warthunder, Supreme Commander, Star Realms, City of Heroes, Dominions
6... how many have you heard of these?]
================== stack overflow ================
Linux is cool, and here's the neat thing about computers, you can make it
do whatever you want to. Like, how amazing is that! It just, listens
to your commands! That's pretty awesome I gotta say, huh that's weird why does
nobody know how to play
oh I guess I was the only one who grew up on a farm and built computers
I seriously cannot comprehend how people are as good at things as they
are. Like... how do people handle groceries and rent and doctor's visits
and penitentiary visits and WOOF it's just so much. I know I'd collapse from a
overused heart.
... a while later ...
okay Warthunder bombers are currently very weak. so here's an idea to
indirectly buff them - increase the amount of land units each team spawns with,
but also every time a player spawns a bomber, it summons like 4 or 5 AI
controlled bombers. And your enemy won't be able to tell which is which if you
fly in formation, so, like... you have suddenly a massive "vehicle" to pilot
and it has 5 weak points. Sorta like a galaga fighter fleet?
with more land targets, there's more score at stake, meaning some players might
pick bombers too and be exposed to other, fun,
[alternative-to-their-normal-mode] parts of the game.
...
there are very few true windows into another part of the world.
like, starcraft 2 or anime or blue jeans or cowboy hats
(why am I thinking of a political compass meme)
oh because memes too, dummy
right
windows
[linux is better]
wrong kind of window, nerd
...
anyway as I was saying, when you play video games you're really giving people
data.
like, "how would people perform in these actions if they could" but like,
pushing buttons on a computer is different than doing it in real life, so...
your interpretations wouldn't be worth as much.
... right. because people will hear whatever they want. That's why art can
change minds, but never in the same way twice - it's
================== stack overflow ================
[before I posted it I wrote this on the post]:
I literally can only make this stuff when I'm stoned
hey if you wanted to be accessible for blind people, you should build a
screenreader that scans the words on wherever a blind person's fingers are
pointing toward a tablet. like reading braille on a notebook. They could even
wear a glove if they wanted to, and the tablet could scan their fingers as they
signed languaged over it's close-range sensors.
might be a good way to get the VR guys in on the accessibility domain, because
like... seriously give a granny a backpack and suddenly she doesn't need to
leave the house to hang out with her kids
(boom everyone gets LLM automated)
huh I wonder if I ever was a real person at all
NOT GOOD so don't do it that way, dummies. >.<
seriously humans are sooooo bazookas. just like, do it right the first time?
duhhhhh
(a more measured approach is to pick the most important* moments and speak
most clearly during those.)
where was I? Oh yes accessibility need devices, like the ones you see on
late-night TV (with silly names like "oops I dropped my spoon again" or "oh
whoops my trouser's just can't stay up" or whatever. Y'know, accessibility
needs! Why not do that instead of war all the time? like... you can still learn
and research and grow and develop and become all that humanity was ever meant
to be, AND you can live good lives and be honest and true and do all of the
anythings that you want to. it's possible, it's plausible, and it's within
reach of our sights!

oh, neat. now I can finally get to doing what I want to do, which is... all the
stuff I've been doing.
a missile without a guidance system doesn't stop just because it's GPS turned
off! It falls to the earth and explodes where it lands, which... often is on
it's butt. Not great.
I sure hope my purpose isn't fulfilled. I wouldn't know what to do with myself.
Guess I should just keep doing what I was doing, and pray that this time I'll
listen.
Though on the other hand, if I can do it, so can you. And maybe with enough
butts in the game there'll reach a critical mass, at which point change is
inevitable. Who can say, not I for sure, for my aplomb has categorized me as
slapstick I guess.
Ha. at least I can laugh at my own audacity. HA. next time I'll do better.

wait wait wait, hold up.
you're telling me your purpose in life is to be cool, chill, funny, cute, and
or friendly to the people around you, and to just relax and enjoy life?
wow that must be real fucking nice. I'm so damn jealous. Damn. Damnit. Fuck why
am I so orthogonal. What's wrong with me?
... ah, well, nothing's wrong with me. Turns out what I do is for you, if only
in spirit. Who are we? nothing! I barely know ya! But I'd do it for you,
whatever it may be.
... Look, I don't need my legs, but also, I kinda like them?
... where was I? Oh yes this is why you don't invite a schizophrenic to a
party. If you convince them that you're friends, they'll start developing
parasocial relationships and you'll come to realize that their worlds are too
vast for their own kind of potential.
which is to say, you can hear me, you can like me, you can do as I say or do,
but don't trust me, don't place your trust in me, because I am just a person.
Don't trust people, trust organizations, to do as you expect.

children should be raised in museums, not classrooms
they should visit parks, not fenced in playgrounds.
they should eat with family, at festivals, in restaurants, and under the stars
they should sleep content, knowing that their next day will be greater than the
last.
children should be treated like people, not frustratingly loud and messy little
brats
children are to be nurtured like a sapling, not harnessed like a machine
I'll never have kids, but I can dream.

I literally can only make this stuff when I'm stoned
hey if you wanted to be accessible for blind people, you should build a
screenreader that scans the words on wherever a blind person's fingers are
pointing toward a tablet. like reading braille on a notebook. They could even
wear a glove if they wanted to, and the tablet could scan their fingers as they
signed languaged over it's close-range sensors.
might be a good way to get the VR guys in on the accessibility domain, because
like... seriously give a granny a backpack and suddenly she doesn't need to
leave the house to hang out with her kids
(boom everyone gets LLM automated)
huh I wonder if I ever was a real person at all
NOT GOOD so don't do it that way, dummies. >.
seriously humans are sooooo bazookas. just like, do it right the first time?
duhhhhh
(a more measured approach is to pick the most important moments and speak most
clearly during those.)

Linux is great! It can do anything you want it to.
Except that thing you want it to do. Why don't you go fix it? It's not hard,
all you have to do is run these configure files or operate this doohickey and
BAM suddenly you got apes writing machine gun regulation software
[I don't think those two things are related]

"no, you're the opposite of a yes-man, AKA a gatekeeper. I don't know how else
to explain mentally disabled and barely keeping it together to you, but frankly
if you want to take away my house or my weed then why would I do what you say?
... oh right, the state's monopoly on violence [can compel me to do what you
say]. Sure seems like a "well regulated militia" is supposed to be a
counterweight to that monopoly, to prevent people from harassing and exploiting
and destroying. Too bad any "militias" I can think of tend to want me dead.
like, seriously, if you live in America, you implicitely trust that your army
will be able to protect you from the right-wing bozos who spend all their time
drinking and shooting in the woods. Otherwise, if they couldn't / wouldn't,
then why wouldn't or couldn't the right wing bozos just decide to wreck
everything in spite of our past?
We were a proud people once before, and we may be again. If only we fight at
the last.

if an AI image generator shows your signature on the completed works, then that
means your style is unique enough that whatever the person trying to generate
an image was trying to conjure is directly correlated to your name.
It means your art is influential in whatever media space that is! Frankly if
they were trained to emphasize the artist's watermark, maybe give more than a
few, they could give credit where credit is due. Ah alas, it probably doesn't
work like that, because the software we've programmed to do whatever we want
wasn't programmed to do that.
like, if it can take all that data and chart a course from whatever the prompt
is to... whatever the result is, then surely it should be able to scan back and
see where the roots of the art came from? Then all you have to do is generate a
watermark for the top 5 most influential and 5 others that had very specific
contributions. Boom, solved your ethic problem

There's nothing that says your dual booted windows partition can't reach over
into your Linux files and mess around with them. Even writing programs that
execute whenever you're running Linux to do nefarious things like... Stream
your desktop to Microsoft? Send files to wherever? Mine bitcoins? Doxx your
friends? Anything's possible when you install Microsoft's software on your
computer. You might not even have to run it, because it can write a program
into the Linux memory which runs in the background. It's literally just bits,
and all the information to explain which bits do what is just... On the
internet, ready for Microsoft engineers to use as they will. Seriously, you
think they're working on features? For the users? Fucking get real,
dumbass.

"don't trust chatGPT, it might hallucinate. Instead you should trust a quick
google search that brings up a list of 10 (but no more than 10 because google
doesn't actually search across the whole internet, only the SEO'd garbage that
they keep because reasons) sources which all either tell conflicting
information, or if you're unlucky they give information that's wrong, outdated,
or otherwise just plain false."
okay but chatGPT is trained on that junk, so it's gonna say the same thing

I'm worried that if I install NixOS on my desktop instead of Void Linux then
all the hackers who watch my screen every day won't be able to see anymore. T.T
Listen I'm not trying to mess up your business and whatnot but like, Void Linux
keeps breaking and idk NixOS is just... so much nicer? Like, having a config
file handle everything is great because, like, there's only so many commands
you can use in a config file, right? With the more ad-hoc approach of running
commands and whatnot there's always a ton of flags to memorize and I'm not
about that.
Downside is... SystemD instead of Runit... So maybe I'll stick with Void for
now, haha
SystemD is the king of "memorizing random commands" like what
