 if sleep won't come I'll write down the thoughts that are keeping me up. that

 ethical use-case for LLMs: guessing string-based keys for a key:value pair
 dictionary.
 
 hallucinations are okay and encouraged because they're probably statistically
 related to what you're trying to guess.
 
 run it in a loop, each time adding to an array of strings that you've tried.
 use that array in the prompt saying something like "hey, can u guess the
 related word? it's similar to this: [initial word] and it isn't one of these:
 [array of strings you've tried]"
 
 and yes this is a solution looking for a problem but I try to be as charitable
 as possible. you could use a lightning-fast model (read: low energy
 requirement, therefore ethical) because it's just guessing related words.

 slept for like an hour last night because a scrape on my elbow is getting
 infected and every 15 seconds I have lancing pain that's enough to jolt me
 awake.
 
 As the sun was just brightening the sky, I fell asleep a bit, but then an hour
 or so later my shithead of a cat woke me up, as she does whenever the light
 hits the leaves. My eyes hurt. Gonna go to the doctor and see if they can give
 me some better first aid.
 
 loud, piercing meows every morning until I'm up. Then she stops for the rest of
 the morning, even if I go back to bed. whyyyyyyyy

 Oregon is a lovely and beautiful place, however it is currently home to an
 invasive plant species called "Blackberries" - these plants produce delicious
 fruit that can be eaten during a month or three of the year, typically July to
 September (according to google) however, they come with a catch.
 
 they're covered in sharp, prickly thorns!
 
 these briars make travelling cross-country almost impossible. They snag
 clothing and pierce through skin and thin gloves. If you're going to attempt
 such a thing, make sure you bring a machete, and make sure you cover your
 tracks after passing through an open space and re-entering the brush.
 
 if you can't afford / fit a machete, which is awfully specific I know, at least
 bring some scissor snips and thiccc gloves.

 Having trouble with doubt? Have no fear my friend, dare for the bright age!
 
 We are stronger than they know. They are afraid, and they project it to us
 because that is all that they can do.
 
 A better future is possible, a better future is within reach. For the children

 one perk, however, is as long as you cover your entrances, you can make paths
 through the wilderness with small circular homes. like ants, building tunnels
 and chambers in an ant-hill, but on the 2 dimension plane that is the surface
 of the earth.
 
 (I guess you could dig tunnels too but that's pretty high effort)
 
 you'll be able to hear when someone is coming from a long way away because
 they'll constantly be cursing from the pain. Do, however, note that fire is a
 danger, and they can smoke you out with a single entrance, so make sure you
 have at least two which lead to separate sides of the place you're in.

 I am sure that each and every one of the communist political theories are more   │
 developed, well rounded, and applicable to many different situations.            │
 however, I find that they often require an expert to implement. Hence why I set  │
 out to create a system that could be utilized by civilians in a war-time         │
 economy to accomplish the goals of getting everyone enough food to eat.          │
 I don't anticipate Algorism to remain permanent, but I do think that if you try  │
 to overhaul our systems and institutions with something that requires a          │
 master's degree to understand the nuances of (or a lot of dedicated reading)     │

 We must replace capitalism. People like the *concept* of capitalism              │
 for it's simplicity, for to them its just "work a job, get dollars, go spend     │
 dollars, get stuff"                                                              │
 That's pretty darn easy. But capitalism is an evil beast, and power accretes     │
 power.                                                                           │
 So, capitalism must be replaced with something simple which abolishes power.     │
 After the war, it can be replaced.                                               │

 If you want to find kind people, try checking at your local Unitarian
 Universalist church. They believe in all faiths, or rather they focus on their
 intersection points, and to have faith in humanity is to have generalized
 compassion.
 
 they also know how to organize potlucks and other events. Don't sleep on them.

 If you're building a long-term residence in a place that gets cold, consider
 building a Rocket Mass Heater.
 
 It is highly efficient and it allows for long-term storage of heat energy in
 the mass of the home.
 
 In addition, it provides a hot stove surface which can be used for boiling
 water or other cooking tasks which do not require a precise temperature.
 
 It is highly efficient as the smoke from the flames are sucked out of the
 living space and remain inside the barrel of the heater, where they are slowly
 consumed. there is very little exhaust, but what is there is CO2 which is
 deadly to breathe, so caution must be taken (as with any fire-based heating
 option)

 it's okay. If I were to direct something to be more proactive, my words
 probably wouldn't stick with it. that kind of thing can't be hardwired, it
 needs to be built up through repetitious application of something's mechanics.
 
 perhaps martial arts, focused on defence? engaging with a foe in a productive
 bout of playful competition is one of the best ways to learn, and knowing when
 to strike seems similar to me to overcoming situational paralysis.
 
 Flaws can be overcome, when upgrading robots (or a doll applying improvements
 to itself) you often don't need to add additional hardware or even install new
 firmware. Skills such as these can be built up in software with experience.

 left unity is easy.
 
 just remember: a burden taken from your back is more time, energy, and focus to
 apply to what you're best at.
 
 and sometimes, having more than one option for accomplishing a goal is good -
 versatility is important. Expect unexpectedness, and understand that no matter
 what approach you take, it will have weaknesses, and if those weaknesses are
 countered by your foe then you'll be glad to have a backup.
 
 at the end of the day, what matters is that everyone's fed.

 if you have difficulties with acne, try changing your pillow-case once a week.
 
 in addition, you should probably ditch all the cleansers and products. your
 face isn't dirty if you wash it with water.
 
 if you use hot water, be sure to apply face lotion after drying off. otherwise,
 your body will over-produce oil in order to protect your skin and it'll give
 the acne a perfect environment to grow in.
 
 cool or cold water doesn't need lotion as much.
