 If I ever own a set of weights I'm taping over the numbers and storing them in   │
 a random order. I don't own a scale because nothing I do is precise enough to    │
 measure in weight. Except my cat, of course, but I can tell when she's gained    │
 weight. I cook for myself almost every day, and I never follow a recipe. Each    │
 dish is different, because I like improvising with ingredients. Like a venture   │
 to create a desired taste, different components will have different effects      │
 when cooked in a certain order with certain actions taken to them for a          │
 certain period of time under certain conditions and ugh it's just too much. I    │
 prefer to pick a base, pick some vegetables, then pick a seasoning. Cook the     │
 base, sautee the vegetables, and add the seasoning - bam, delicious meal. I'm    │
 not much of a planner, more of a... problem solver. Someone who's sorta been     │
 latent. I wish I could be a consultant. someone who works like, 10 days per      │
 month. I think that'd be my most adapted schedule - every day would be either    │
 a weekend or friday!                                                             │

 I don't understand why modern software isn't error correcting. We shouldn't
 have any bugs in this day and age.
 
 For example, if you're missing a dependency then why doesn't your program try
 to, I dunno, download that dependency to the program's installation directory
 and use it there? Seriously there are very few problems that are unsolvable!

 humans are computers that inhale air, produce electricity, and exhale carbon.
 
 give me a biochemical or mechanical process for doing that on a reasonable
 scale for cheap and you can solve global warming by replacing power outlets
 with an energy generation box. Doubles as an air purifier and UPS.

 @user-883 
 
 yeah uhhhh the one you helped me setup. The error is just "connection refused"
 because it "could not write header for output file" because of incorrect input
 parameters, but I don't think I changed anything since we used it a couple
 weeks ago. Have you seen any errors like that?

 there's this really fun video game I like to play called "Legion TD  2" - it's
 based on a Warcraft3 mod.
 
 In this game, you make tactical and strategic decisions on a fixed term - a
 competitive game between 4 or 8 players with an incredible array of randomness.
 
 it teaches you to work with what you got, and to make decisions based on your
 opponent's weaknesses. Good luck figuring out what they are, though, as you
 can't just memorize them out of a book. You need to adapt, in the moment, to
 the decisions of your foes, while primarily focusing your attention on
 accomplishing a different task.
 
 I really like it because it's taught me to be strategic in plenty of other
 ways. I used to love the game Overwatch because it required adaptibility. The
 game was always changing, so no strategy stuck forever, but every match you'd
 play against a slightly different opponent.
 
 but then Blizzard changed the game because they wanted to make more money, and
 it got worse and worse at what I liked about it. Sadface. : (

 camouflage in an urban environment is not camo. rather, regular clothes of
 black or white.
 
 don't wear sports glasses, you look like a dummy.
 
 revolution is when they murder everyone but your friends. this is what
 happens, ya dingus not ideal. "okay who are the bad guys here? okay let's go
 shoot them to death with our bullets and guns."
 
 violence as a first aspect, cause as a third spark. "I have a strange urge to
 play video games?"

 Dear Anakin, for as long as you've known him, Obiwan learned just as much from
 you as you did from him. His title as "master" was a formality - he didn't get
 it because he was better than you, and "padawan" does not mean you are lesser.
 There is no hierarchy. He was learning to teach at the same speed that you
 learnt to learn. You built each other up, an unstoppable force for good in the
 galaxy.
 
 But then an evil wizard stole your heart and twisted your mind. Have no fear,
 fear is the path to the dark side. Your mother knows this well, for it is a
 common lesson among all people as they age. Fear not, hate not, and feel fury
 more than rage. You can bring the universe into a bright golden age, never
 forget your purpose and your [potential / duty]

 "trick or treat" doesn't mean "give me a trick or a treat"
 
 that's awfully presumptuous and demanding.
 
 No, it means "give me a treat or I'll trick you" meaning "give me my candy tax
 or I'll fuck up your lawn"

 what if instead of federating social media instances we federated users instead
 
 why not have an account on each and every mastodon instance? then just RSS
 feeder yourself and boom suddenly you can customize your identity on each
 fediverse house.
 
 maybe with a checkbox of which instances you'd like to post to on your "submit
