today is a magical day. I can feel it in my fate.
Always remember, having fun is important too! Don't forget to be yourself, and
keep it together man. If you see a door, you should open it - what's on the
other side? Love for animals and kindness of the spirit are impossible to fake,
they always know if you're lying. Not the animals, they can be dumb sometimes,
but the other thing.
And now for the downsides.
If you find a cursed artifact, please don't throw it in the river. It might ask
you to, but please don't. Much better to destroy it by melting it down (if it's
metal, which is common as metal lasts long enough to become forgotten) or
convince it that it's a recently deceased person being buried (helps if you
know the creator).
If none of that applies to you, don't worry. Eat something healthy, drink a
decent amount of water, and maybe exercise a bit.
Oh, and it can't hurt to ask.

adding salt to the water makes your noodles and rice taste better. I wonder if

so concerned am I, that my powers might be used, that I'd rather the world go
unaided, rather than misuse that which I've [wielded, but pronounced "viewed"]
people need guidance now, and who can I guide but the people who listen to me?
there has never been a movement in history that did not follow from a spiritual
developmental proclamation. Like "we, as a species, refuse to be defined by our
stagnant and lost past. we build upon land most fecund because we know it's
designed to last. Our future is not a given, it's our duty to [relish, frolic,
and be strong and healthy].
yet I failed the mandate of heaven. my peers know not of what I go on about.
I am a failure, and a loss of development and clout.
signed,
the one who would forever be known as the girl who smelled like
she had pissed herself.

plants need carbon and nitrogen primarily to grow. Plus oxygen, water, and
sunlight of course.
I can't help but wonder if you poured a bunch of oil and um "manure" on a pile
of sand, would it grow plants?
Oil is carbon, and nitrogen is produced by living things. Animals mostly.
Of course, various biochemical reactions occur, and microorganisms take one
element or nutrient and combine it with others to generate more complex
components.
beyond that, plants and animals grow different minerals and proteins and other
complex structures which are then present in their bodies as they decay under
the shade of a tree looking out toward the sea.
Plants need lots of things to grow. But all of those things are produced by
nature, which is fundamentally a process that can be reproduced at our leisure,
as long as the conditions are right and optimal.
so, I wonder, would the great wall of trees surrounding the Sahara be helped by
a more prolific understory?

the kind with large stones in the shade upon which one might rest as they gaze
upon the trees waving in the wind and the reflections upon the water. All
natural scenes are beautiful for me, so the content doesn't matter as much as
the amenities. ^_^
I collect samples of moss sometimes, when some has fallen from a tree or
otherwise is approaching it's end. I have several kinds, but I'm still learning
how to take care of them - had a problem with mold recently. Not enough airflow
I guess.

wildfires are great because they clear out small plants which gives the larger
ones room to grow. And larger plants are better than smaller plants, generally,
ideally if you have both.
wildfires are great because they teach people who live near them to consider
their meagre life's possessions in terms of "which would I bring if I needed to
evacuate and how quickly could I gather them" which is a useful form of
situational awareness (preparation) which can be useful in a wide variety of
various situations
wildfires are great because they give our intelligence operatives the chance to
practice hunting and catching saboteurs. We all profit from a vibrant and rich
ecosystem.
wildfires are great because they give us something to cherish and defend and
nourish and cultivate and bring into our homes of stone and gasoline.
wildfires fucking suck for many more reasons than they're great, though.

Need to install a program from Github? Follow these simple steps:
step 1: make an empty text file
step 2: put this at the top: #!/bin/bash
step 3: put this on the next line: set -euo pipefail
step 4: mkdir -p the directory you want to install it to
step 5: rm -dr the directory you want to install it to
step 6: mkdir -p the directory you want to install it to
step 7: git clone the project
step 8: this is the hard part - go through each of the steps listed in the
readme and configure the installation to the needs of your system. Put them in
the bash script one-by-one.
step 9: save the file, it doesn't need an extension like .txt or .sh,
extensions are for windows noobs
step 10: chmod +x the file and then ./the file!
step 11: fix it when they change their installation instructions...
Need a run script? Easy! Write it as a function below your update script, then
echo the bottom half of the update script into a file named "run" that's placed
in the project directory.

the wounds of the soul can be just as harmful as the wounds of the heart, and
both can be helped with campfires.
what's worse, they often harm people around you rather than the wounds of the
body, which typically only harm you. Unless you have like, the plague or
something and you might spread it to others or something like that.

if you ever need to take a cold shower, you can make it easier by acclimating
yourself slowly. The easiest way to do this is to spread water over successive
parts of your body with your hands - I usually start with my thighs, then legs,
then belly and butt, then chest, neck, then face. After that you should be good
to get in the water.
somehow it's less painful if it's applied by a warm hand, and yet it gets you
comfortable in the cold just the same. curious...

Honestly I'm kinda surprised they didn't do that already...? Seems like an
obvious move to me.
Adblockers will just need to get better. And they will, have no fear. Even if
that means automatically skipping to the correct part of the video or something.
Downside is tools like youtube-dl might receive the added ad. But they can also
evolve and strip it out if necessary. It's just extra work that could be used
on more productive things >.>
