thanks I know what I'm doing with the rest of the day
... once I finish this thing I'm working on. Ah, but the sun is out
*now*, and the work can wait. The work can always wait. What's one
more tomorrow, the future will not abate! eh that doesn't concern me.
PLUR and be good, I'll be here until I run out of feed [food], and then... well
I'll probably have to go to the grocery store.
... cheers, love the fish

if you don't like me anymore, and then you hide yourself from me instead of
telling me, I'm going to spend the rest of my life wondering if you're still
alive.
It's a curse you bestow upon me, and it's worse than saying goodbye.

if you haven't spend hours wondering if you're god, the antichrist, a
cognitohazard, the future president of the world, a target of aliens / the CIA,
or any other number of common delusions... then congratulations you're probably
not crazy
but odds are you aren't magic, either.
... ehhhh "wonder" is a strong word, more like "know, trust, and believe"
much better to be a witch I believe, someone with the "teehee" kind of magic
than someone compelled to destroy humanity through the reactions of others to
the actions of the self that are impossible to resist or fully control.
BRB I'm going to leave my apartment to get groceries, leaving my door unlocked
because that's what I always do, surely it'll be empty when I return. Surely.

if someone wanted to defame you, all they'd have to do is set up a pipeline
between your computer and your social media posts.
In that pipeline, attach an LLM that does a passable job and instruct it to
transform whatever they say into the inverse.
suddenly, everyone hates that person. If you were smart you could turn it off
for specific people such that they see the generally positive and healthy
posts, and then after a point flip it such that they only see things that are
specifically opposit-ed to trigger their specific insecurities.
might require a bit of a human touch to make sure it's working correctly, but
if you had the means, motivation, and time to set up such a thing, it would
work pretty well I think.

there's this fun game that people sometimes play on Reddit where someone will
make a post that says something like "comment on this post and then edit it
after I reply to make me look bad" and someone will say something like "how are
you doing today man" and he'll reply "oh you know pretty good actually it's
pretty nice honestly" and then they'll edit their comment to say something like
"how do you feel about the droid attack on the wookies" so OP looks like
they're condoning mechano-violence against tall furry humanoids
that's just an example, usually it's for comedic effect
I just think that's an interesting illustration of a process that could be
co-opted by a "man-in-the-middle" attack to alter the perception of a person
partway through their journey, perhaps when it's at the point where they're
most despised (or perhaps in pursuit of that state)
something something cancel culture plus deepfakes

if you're gonna kill yourself anyway, might as well throw yourself at a cause
you believe in. Ideally the kind that requires repeated attendance and lots of
opportunities to make friends or forge communal bonds with people who can help
you.
honestly, what do you have to lose? sure it's hard, but nothing worth doing is
easy. If it were, someone else would have done it already.

maybe let them be destitute.

politicians appeal to certain segments of the population. That's just how
they're designed. They're meant to be reflections of your hopes. We shouldn't
demand them to be moral, or kind - they should just do what we want them to.
That is the spirit of democracy, that we the people should decide.

I love all humans. It is unconditional.
The kind of love I have for nazis is a kind of vengeful love.
Like, the way you might love a family dog who recently got rabies, bit two more
dogs, and is currently eyeing you with terror and malice in its eyes - the kind
that only comes from the loss of compassion.
"you were kind once, as all humans are, but sometime in your life you made
choices. and now you are here.
I burn thee for my fathers
I spite thee for thine mothers
And I slay thee to fight the dragon of hate."
