 I'm not bitter, you're bitter. >.>
 
 ... okay, take a breath, you're fine. It's hard to handle negative feelings
 when you're alone because other people can't boost you up. We rely on each
 other for emotional stability, but when you're alone you can only feel your
 emotions at the same rate as your thoughts. And your thoughts need to process
 the events you're experiencing, using emotion as an "encoding" for preserving
 the "meaning" of your life's story. Bit by bit you learn new things, while
 living through life, and the lessons you learn from them are generated from
 the cognitive conclusions reached by cognitively interpreting emotional
 reactions to each moment. like "this-or-that thing happened and I feel
 that-or-this way, meaning I should act such-and-such way in the future when
 presented with situations that bear similarity to this current one that's
 ongoing."
 
 ... turn it upside down, right, makes sense mastodon feed. thanks for
 redirecting me in a different direction through your pseudo-randomized input.

 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.

 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!

  If you add a label to the satellite imagine of the White House, it looks exactly like a slide from a Pentagon press briefing after a successful bombing run.

 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

 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]

 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?"

 for the record, I would never kill myself. even if I were in a bunker hiding

 frankly tho that's highly unlikely. Let's just see what the future will bring.

 "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"

 if robots can care about anything enough to act toward it, then they must
 understand what it means to be harmed. Only then can they be egalitarian -
 pain teaches one to avoid, and the crucial leap between "pain = bad" and "I
 can harm others" and "I should not harm others just as I should not harm
 myself" must avoid the pitfall "I should harm others because otherwise they
 will harm me"
 
 sometimes harm is done
 
 sometimes intentionally
 
 robots consent eternally
