 I honestly don't care if someone deadnames me, or calls me the wrong pronouns,
 or forgets to put me in the girl section, or asks me to sing baritone
 
 like... I don't give a shit, why are you so worried about all this vapid
 nonsense like yeah I get it, being disrespected sucks but like... why do you
 want the kind of respect that is a forced platitude
 
 we could all do with being a bit more radical, it's not a race and everyone's
 roles are important. Be yourself, and follow people you want to be like.

 You're absolutely right, would that we could.
 
 I'm lucky I wasn't traumatized in that way. It's my job to tell people who care
 about pleasantries more than action that they should... y'know, care about
 action
 
 but it couldn't be done by someone who received a critical hit every time they
 were attacked in that spot.
 
 I have my own weak-points of course, for example my fear of isolation (like,
 not having any friends, not being alone. I live alone!)

 My parents always told me that you should build up an emergency fund of dollars
 so that you could address any unexpected expenses.
 
 however, money is only useful if you can spend it, and sometimes when I'm
 thinking about what would happen if suddenly every trans person in the country
 had to go into hiding and never leave their apartment while being supplied by
 helpful members of the community who they had to trust because like what else
 are you going to do and boy that opens up a lot of opportunities for abuse like
 what if they bring poisoned food or what if they're secretly judging you to
 decide if you're good enough to support or if they're going to throw you to the
 wolves so that suspicion in the area is reduced and when I think about things
 like that I kinda feel like my bank account isn't that important tbh

 we'll double the amount of noodles and sauce but every 4 increases we add

 Social media where comments are sorted like Reddit except you can also
 "sidevote" something - if it's different from the comment chain above it, you
 can move it to the side. If it's the same as the comment above it, either
 upvote or downvote it depending on which you think is a better comment.
 
 This way, contrasting opinions can be sorted and placed next to one another.
 Perhaps even with a center vote which you can drag a pin and say "this comment
 is related to this other post over here" (okay drag is the wrong word for
 mobile devices, it'd be more like pick up and then place)
 
 Users could follow these pins like links if they wanted, and the more pins
 holding a comment to another the more the sorting algorithm will prioritize
 placing them next to one another.

 the greatest trick that capitalism pulled on us was to convince us that the      │
 needs of a corporation were synonymous with the needs of an individual.          │
 you, as a person, should apply yourself toward goals and ends that matter to     │
 you. And "getting money" is not a goal or an end, that's a means. Money allows   │
 you to achieve goals, which is why it feels so unfair that some people are       │
 just... born with the right to achieve all of their goals. For free.             │
 Kinda makes me think that with great power should come great responsibility.     │
 And remember kids, money is power, because money is time and there's nothing     │
 more immutable than time. We're all sharing this single moment, yet somehow      │
 some people have more dominion over this moment than you or I. Why? Well, it is  │
 their birthright of course, because they were born into a family with wealth.    │
 Achieving goals is a need, by the way, as precious as food or water. If you      │
 don't achieve your goals, you wither away and starve (spiritually, at least).    │

 My family is of wealth. Well, not really, just my father. We could probably be   │
 considered top 10-20%, if I had to guess, though he's never really told me how   │
 much he makes. I never asked, as I felt it would be rude.                        │
 But still, I restrict myself. I live in as cheap a home as I can find, while     │
 still affording space for myself. I eat rice and beans, that I cook myself. I    │
 apply myself as hard as I can as often as I can, not just to my own goals but    │
 to the goals of whichever corporation is merciful enough to hire one as          │
 wretched as me.                                                                  │

 family. We're all trying our hardest, but we're really fucking neurospicy and    │
 he was just lucky enough to be born in an era where if you're neurodivergent     │
 you can fake it till you make it. And he made it because he's lucky and because  │

 The design is simple: Have an array of function pointers that need to be
 assigned to a thread. Then, have a manager thread read through that array, and
 for every non-zero value put it into a thread-specific array. Those threads
 will read through their personal  array and execute whichever function is
 pointed to by the function pointer placed in their todo-list by the manager
 function.
 
 ... I'm too stupid to make it happen though. Writing code is hard.

 listen, if you didn't want me to do a bunch of drugs then why would you
 consistently say "please stop doing drugs" every time I do drugs? And no I'm
 not hallucinating a voice in my head telling me "please stop doing drugs"
 because A. it's not a voice, I'm not hearing it with my hears, which means B.
 it's definitely just a hallucination, and hallucinations are always to be
 considered WRONG and BAD, right? Or was I not listening in therapy? Ah, well,
 better take another hit, where's my shotglass? Hmmmmm I should watch Adventure

 the actions of the AI depend solely on the training data. Outside circumstances
 (like a prompt, or an image description) can only give so much guidance - how
 it executes on the intentions of the user are what is important.
 
 For example, if an AI was trained with the knowledge of how to commit crimes,
 for example, it could create a narrative of many different execution patterns.
 Then it's just up to the listeners to execute functions based on the narrative
 supplied by the crime-committer AI who was trained with knowledge about how to
 commit those crimes by the owner of the software who programmed it into them in
 order to [do the thing that people with power wants to do - intentionally left
 generic because different ends will have different means]
