I think it'd be neat if Mastodon would implement a button that took a picture
of the user's text input box and saved it to the clipboard. So they could post
it on sites with picture-heavy text like https://www.reddit.com/r/curatedtumblr
note that's not grindr, which is what was referenced before, but tumblr, which
is a completely different website - yeah you rememeber that? it had a
completely different vibe and was so totally cool and chill. you could
generally tell if someone was from tumblr because they had a certain relaxed
air of friendliness that really filled out their sense of charm.
== stack overflow ==
I can think of several indie developers wouldn't mind being paid to update
their games according to what the fans suggest.
like...

if they can't get into your phone, they can at least record all of the received
notifications.
meaning they already know who it is that you know...
without having to find people that are distant or unrelated

the white guys intentionally intend for elections to represent how much money a
particular diversion makes each four years.
divide the populace by who they vote with their wallet for.
hooray! you've reimplemented not only gerontocracy (rulership of the old) but
also fuedalism, and fiefdoms, and all kinds of digital parts.
like... "over there is comcast territory, there's also T-mobile down to our
north-south.
... okay I should probably talk about the election now
I'm just... trying to resolve myself, like just before doing something out of
order.
like, wear a big witch hat or dress up like a goth. or approach a violent
stranger and try to calm things down.
this is why I don't own a gun - if someone hands me one, I'll use it. I'm not
concerned about production because, well, why would I?
tell me, where do they put the bullet manufactories?
yeah, that's right, in places that are best adapted to supporting the current
regime.

I don't post my best stuff
I hide it on my website
in a zip folder called "conversation starters"
my writing that I do here (and a few other places) is in "words.zip"
everything else is just neat visual projects I worked on.
who cares that it's bonkers it's cool to look at, right?
jeez. Art. I don't trade it for anything either, I just make it just to do.
I do believe I should have that right
when I think of Kamala and who she represidents, I think of changes to the
system which uphold my capability to contribute to capitalism.
just enough food stamps, just enough basic income, just enough to get you
running on your own feet, as you pull yourself up with your bootstraps you
lucky sun-of-a-gone. Sure would be a shame if you had all your needs met
automatically and without an exertion of force on your part.. Sure would allow
you to develop yourself most optimally, if you aren't being driven by the
nature of your national host.

gonna do a bunch (more) drugs and stay up all night. Will try not to spend it
all playing mechabellum.
also... gonna eat some apple-sauce. with cheese cubes in it. Sharp chetter I
think. yummmmm maybe add some cinnamon sugar cubes that have been baked into a
hard and tasty shape.
ah, but your teeth are gonna fall out! who cares I'll just brush in the
morning. That way nobody smells my own breath.
... you KNOW that's not the same as your teeth falling OUT! OF YOUR MOUTH DIMMY.
eh who cares they'll invent a
bactio-flangotastic-inventionology-for-bone-related-biology solution which sill
regrow your bones in your mouth that you CHOMP on things with.
does the rest of your body feel like HARD AND DEVELOPED BONES that you chew
things with YES TEETH TOO HARD LIKE TEETH or do they feel like they're made out
of styrofoam
mine let me punch things real hard when I focus all of my attention and energy
on hardening my form and becoming an unstoppable object
