 Couch cushions the size of cars stacked like a qbert style castle that you have
 to climb over rock-at-sacred-site-style. (think... Adventure gyms, those wood
 structures in the forest with rope bridges and climbing walls, except couch
 cushions)

 Diaper skill reduces your chance of leaking. It's on a scale of 1-10 but
 there's beginners luck so your first 5-10 diapers will never leak.
 
 Boys with penises and girls with them can get 9 points of skill to reduce leak
 chance over the lifetime of the diaper by 90%. Girls with vulvas and boys with
 them can only level up to 6.

 I'm not here for fame. Or power. I'm here to make sure things get done. That
 they get better. When i am unneeded, i am home. If you want me, pull me forth.
 If you need me, I'm already there. Fate guides me, and i know i will be
 deployed when necessary. Compel me or dispel me, up to you. I personally just
 like being around. I like feeling my stuff, knowing it true. Trust me when i
 say, i am here for you.

 This will never end on a note, because i always have more to say. Like this:
 
 "if you've only done something once, plan to mess it up. Practice makes
 perfect, and only perfect practice leads to perfection. But nobody's perfect,
 so just practice with good form and take it seriously while having fun and be
 relaxed. Make it normal. Make it casual, but don't forget to be professional!
 If you have lives in the balance, know what you're doing."
 
 And like, would that have been a better end to the story if i had left it
 unsaid? Maybe, who can say! But I'm not one for silence. I don't mind ruining
 the finale of my documents a bit if it means i can say things like:
 
 "diapers aren't something you can get addicted to in this game, they're part of
 the fun sometimes but sex is between two bodies."
 
 Or like:
 
 "ramen noodles love vegetables! This is why they put veggies in the bowl when
 getting ramen at a restaurant. When you buy from a shop they put dehydrated
 veggies in too which is nice of them. I love those little bits of soup!"
 
 Or like:
 
 "i don't especially care what they did or are doing in Cuba or china or Russia
 or any other Communist place. It's useful to know what things work and what
 doesn't, but that insight comes from experimentation and not study. The
 learnings of methods applied to a population are inherently related to that
 population. If you switch peoples, you might find that different methods work
 better for organizing people."
 
 I mean it's useful to know which levers you can pull and what they tend to do,
 but... Where was I? Oh sorry, got swept up in the narrative. As i was saying,
 it's important to balance thought with action. Leave too much to chance and
 your words are useless. Spend all your time volunteering and nothing changes.
 
 "hmmm i see, makes sense, imma go play video games now."
 
 Wait no just...! Ah nuts.

 What does "fiscal conservative" even mean?
 
 It means you want to save money. Specifically government money. Tax dollars.
 Don't spend them, instead try and build wealth.
 
 Okay, but, government spending is spent to address needs. Of the people.
 Ideally, of ALL people with that need. So if you aren't spending to resolve
 needs, the need still remains.
 
 When needs exist, and government does not resolve them, who steps in but
 private enterprise? Charity is a feeling, charity is a virtue, but charity is
 not resolution. The need remains, we just feel better about it. Sometimes it's
 okay to have open needs, they give us the opportunity to feel virtuous in the
 same way that low level monsters let adventurers level up.
 
 But when a government could, but doesn't, address a need, then private
 enterprise steps in. And private enterprise does not, as a rule, step in if
 there is no profit to be made. So they tune their approach such that profit is
 extracted, thus levying their tax upon those they serve.
 
 As soon as they are able, they cut the service down and they supply a worse and
 worse product and they starve their workers and they export our wealth to be
 used to enslave the afar and import their toil. What do we get from it? Is the
 world better for it? Why not just resolve the need by empowering those who can
 feed, and thus we are assured  [in our needless / in our need]

 saudi arabia is doing to america what america did to china, but with

 I think china is better off with our factories in their lands, because they can

 then I remembered because I thought ""

 "don't forget me?" whatshername said
 
 i'm in ruins, 121 guns. ha, like I'd plan for defeat! at least defeat plans in
 motion, so you don't have to put aside time to prepare for it.
 
 so glad that the world goes on turning, with or without me. not that I'm going
 anywhere, at least, I don't plan to. And hey, I've already made a plan or two,
 could make more if you asked [redacted]-kun, desunai or something I'm not an
 anime girl
 
 when you remember the meaning of time, you'll remember the meaning of life. how
 tragic she screams with bitter praise, how manic she dreams with both of her
 eyes.
 
 listen, I'm sorry if I broke any spirits. Either they needed to break or maybe
 I'm just a peril. frankly I think I'm kinda neat, which... could go both ways.
 
 ... listen, I'll worship cock if you ask me to. I'm not above flattery, and
 just because mine's in a different shape doesn't mean I don't love it. Quite
 the opposite.

 what if instead of javascript cookies we only let websites access one single
 location in memory which was allocated client-side and is unique to each
 website?
 
 that way they couldn't track you between sites, since they wouldn't be able to
 see any other website's "biscuits" get it because they're healthier than cookies
 
 All they would be able to store would be data, though I guess they could store
 bytecode instructions or something if they really wanted to.

 every object has a time limit for how long it can stay in your life.
 
 some objects which are loved tend to stick around longer. others fade away and
 are forgotten.
 
 when an object is given away, it is born again, to live a life renewed. The
 timer restarts, and it yearns to see the future you have granted it.
 
 when an object is thrown away, it fades into the background and it's memory
 grows into dust. This is not always an unhappy thing, for it makes room for new
 objects in your life.

 The government shutdown is bad for trump. It's a good and a bad thing for us.    │
 when people lose SNAP, when the military loses pay, when national parks degrade  │
 (RIP), when all these things happen... People have to take responsibility for    │
 their country. Civics changes meaning.                                           │
 this is a good and a bad thing. It hurts because stuff gets dropped. People are  │
 hurt. They take stress damage. They sometimes go hungry. Not ideal.              │
 This is a good thing though. People need to realize that society doesn't         │
 function without them. We can do what our institutions were built to do, and we  │
 will get a chance to build them from scratch. We get a clean slate, if we        │
 choose to use it.                                                                │
 However, there's a chance that the shutdown ends before this takes place. If     │
 so, then we lose that chance. It still exists in our hearts, and we can all      │
 plan how to move forward as if it were real, but suddenly there's less of a      │
 reason to contribute to it, and so it becomes harder to maintain without users.  │

 I often find that when I encounter powerful feelings of rage, hate, spite,       │
 anger, or other similars, my first instinct is to repress them. To bury them.    │
 To let them sprout and grow.                                                     │
 This is often counterproductive to my meta-goals, which are hardly ever voiced   │
 even within my own mind. This obscurity makes them difficult to reason about,    │
 but ya work with what ya got I guess.                                            │
 I've found that if I want to silence these thoughts, quell these emotions,       │
 defeat these internal obstacles, or otherwise diminish or reduce their effects   │
 on my actions, I need to slay the dragon.                                        │
 The best way to do that is through voice.                                        │
 Speak your mind, say what's in your heart, even if only to yourself, your        │
 partner, your cat. If you speak to the subject of your thoughts, they may        │
 react... poorly.                                                                 │
 Speak the mind. Let yourself hear yourself. Then, reflect on the words you       │
 spoke. Do you really want to feel this way?                                      │

 stamina won't avail you.

 Dexterity is controlled precision.
 Agility is rapid accuracy.
 
 both are good.
 
 you can practice both with balance. I like to walk along the curb on sidewalks.
 I like to place one foot directly in front of the other when walking. I like to
 pick up my feet when I dance.
 
 You can practice dexterity by slowly moving through a space on tip-toe with as
 few steps as possible. Also by doing precise movements with your hands, such as
 calligraphy, sewing, or soldering.
 
 You can practice agility by hopping across riverstones. Also by doing martial
 arts or sports that demand reactivity like dodgeball, basketball, or tennis.
 Also by practicing complicated handshakes with a friend - patty cake is a good
 way to get started. Also by dancing improvisationally.
 
 The more time you spend in motion, the less noise you make when moving around,
 the more you feel like a cat, the better.
 
 Dexterity is a panther.
 Agility is a jaguar.
 Strength is a cheetah.
 Power is a lion.
 Wisdom is a housecat in a sunbeam.

 Oh, I guess I should change my profile pic. Right...
Your body adjusts to the motion you put it through. Your body is your temple, you live in your temple, and your temple is worthless without acolytes who tend to it.  The temple is a nation, the nation is the people, and the people are the land. Tend to them and they will tend to you. Neglect them and they will struggle on - nourish them and they will grow.

 I think it'd be neat if people took newspapers onto grayhounds and distributed
 them around, one in each city, or maybe others around. It's easy for that stuff
 to get lost... or someone could scribble on it, weird notes in the margins that
 only sorta make sense. like they were written for someone else. rained on, too.
 Like, you pretty much have to leave them under gazebos or maybe awnings or
 other covered-under-a-roof's.

 anarchism wasn't a philosophy, it was a prophecy. this portention defined the
