not really, I guess. Nobody will hire me because I don't really want to get
hired. Sounds boring, doing the same thing every couple days. I'd rather stay
at home in my [underwear/pajamas] and waste the day away with kittens and care.
why? why? what are you doing? she asks. The less you can do, the more power

Damage of the legislature may be healed. But damage to people's lives who have
lost their jobs for no reason of their own and because jobs are tied to your
living in this country, people who have lost their jobs have lost their way of
life. Suddenly, their life must be changed. And they deserve the liberty to
feel in control of that.
When enough said is enough, when people have gathered en masse in the streets,
there has to be a reckoning. We must decide how to proceed as a culture.
Nation. Any kind of organization. We are who we choose to be, and frankly I
just don't see promise in the darkness. I yearn for a bold, bright future, not
one of destruction and disaster-race. Instead, we can seek joy in the memories,
and share what we keep in balance.
Our foes have cursed us with no end in heartbreak and struggle. But that's
okay. We can rebuild that part of ourselves, we just have to make it on faith.
Do you believe in each other? I do. I know you believe in you, too.

no, but any popular economic and personally spiritual readings will have within
them truths that are strident and true. thus no ideology or social fiction is
completely unworthy of our hours.
when you read a book, the most valuable moments are the ones where your mind
wanders off - what did you find when following the flow of the story?
oh, did you read the same paragraph four times and not remember? that's okay,
just move on. It's not meant for you, and that's okay too. BUT there are plenty
of other things besides which are important and valuable and necessary to learn
in stride.

if you want to build an alibi, do something strange and consistent like smoking
some random drugs from a homeless guy's encampment and then going between the
four corners of an intersection and it's sidewalk for a day or two. Surely,
someone's gonna drive by with a dash-web-cam, and they can take a picture as
they pass by. Boom, dated for this time and place, there's your space.
downside is, if the people watching you see you on the same path all day, they
might watch you too. So sometimes in roughly optimized ratios it's better to do
so even if you don't need to be seen in a time and place in a way that seems
commonplace.
walk to work? great, that sounds fun.
(nobody wants to do that)
(also falsifying alibis is a crime)
okay, so... don't do that. Just... trust that SOMEONE will drive past with a
dash-web-cam, and maybe it'll find it's way to you if you ever need it in a
court of law or otherwise. lots of ways to have a court. you know if your peers
hang out in your court, they become your courtiers...

people want to make good decisions. In fact that's typically the only kind that
they make. The issue is they are often prevented from making those decisions,
at all, so they lose chances to control their own life.
have you ever asked for extra beverages? how about putting more salsa on your

say what you need. if everyone just wants you to be comfortable, then say what
it is that you [need, but pronounced in a way that rhymes but doesn't rhyme the

in Doctor Strangelove there's a scene when the soviet premier shows up at the
situation room or whatever - the one with the big board - and he is very clear
about what he needs. anyway I think about that scene a lot as a good example of
what "asking for what you need" can mean.

alright I'm in a "if you want me, come tell me" kind of mood, so if you want
me, come tell me.
in the meantime, I'm going to be working on making silly little desktop games
which do nothing and mean nothing and are not useful or valuable in any way.

I feel that frugality and productivity should be valued in equal regard.
A person who conserves should be valued just the same as a person who
progresses.
Yet we find ourselves in a capitalist system which demands the production of
dollars to spend on rent, mortgages, groceries, bill payments,
land-value-taxes, and all the other things besides.
Would it not be better to ensure the grovetender has a space to sleep? The
recycler has enough to eat?
What of the mothers? Their children are their charges, they should worry less
about financials.
What of the artists? Their visions and imagined creations are worth more than
their time working at a bank or a grocery store.
Open source programming is the bedrock of all technology. It is not rewarded.
There are countless examples besides. Give people the means to produce and they
will - give people the means to maintain and they will.
Currently, people have the means for neither. Only corporations and the few
with wealth have the means to produce or conserve - everyone else just works in
their sweatshops.

it's trivial to run a C compiler inside of a lua interpretation of a script.
And vice versa - you could totally run lua functions from C. Just point to the
spot in memory where they're stored / operating, and call
"update_class_exhibitor_type_d()" and the linker will come along and say "huh
this looks like something from this library that's part of the requirements up
above" (the "includes" section is where you say which files include the
functions you're going to be calling) and in this particular case it would see
that you need to start up a lua interpreter inside of the [either compiler or
running program I can't remember] to properly execute the function of the
function that you're pointing at with a lua-pointer style data object which is
part of a struct that stores all the other lua functions in a spot in memory.
this would enable you to write computer programs in whatever language you
choose, and build them into one large project. Essentially opening up software
development to ANYONE WHO CAN PROGRAM

My computer has an extended password where you have to type the things that
most people put in ~/.bashrc in order to get the system fully operational
people say "why does it take half an hour to turn your computer on" because I
keep forgetting the somatic typing components, beatrice. dear, please give me a
moment, I'll have netflux up and running in - ... oh yes thank you, I would
have typed netflix in wrong. that helps, and explains this error here where it
says it can't find "netfucks"
I was like... WHY ISn't this listed in the dependency repository??
[hackers just clone your hard drive megabyte by megabyte every time you start a
particular program or use a piece of the system utilities like finder or
un-win-rar, so having a longer password won't help]

the reason you start with a game engine is because then you'll have tools to
make however-many games you want. Tools that you know intimately enough that
you can debug and improve them without breaking your creative flow by learning
something new halfway through a project
the whole point of individualized projects instead of viewing each computer as
a complete and total whole (why do we need servers again?) is that you can
paint a picture of where the design of the program is intended to go, such that
all the considerations are in place and whatever issues or struggles you might
face along the way are adequately addresssed, -- stack overflow -- [because I
mistyped addressed] -- -- if you know what "stack overflow" means you have
intimate knowledge of the technology, and can probably guess what it means in
context when I say it. "nuts I lost that train of thoguht" -- stackl ov

what if all programs had legally mandated APIs which had to be called every
time text was displayed on the screen which wrote to a piece of shared memory
with read-only privileges that could be read by text-displaying applications?

a float is a number between 0 and 1 like 0.5
they don't store the exact valyue, they just guesstimate
for some reason computers are designed such that 100% is represented as
1.175494351 E - 38: 3.402823466 E + 38 ->source/microsoft/learn/"cpp
(lol)"/type-float
... which is weird because, that's such an arcanely obscure number, who's gonna
remember that? meaning you gotta go to their website everytime, called
google.com, and search through microsoft for the answer to life's common
mysteries.
emphasis on common
so yeah you gotta write a conversion library which turns every single instance
of e to the whatever into a 100 and all the other numbers get converted too.
but you gotta do it without doing any hardware division, because that one's too
expensive. it's gotta be a true natural doubling representative, except,
without doubling the hard-drive space, leading to a distribution of only one
half of the results of the metghoid. [[ type ohhhhhhs ab ound] ]
I swear I'm not an LLM I just think embiggeningly
