 @user-1573 
 
 ooooo I see, yeah I picked one distro and I stuck with it. Void Linux.
 
 then my friend wanted me to learn Gentoo, so I did.
 
 I use DWM on my Void Linux computer but i3 on my Gentoo one, just to mess with
 myself and stay on my toes 🤓

 you don't have to write poetry to write notes. The poetics are just practice

 to understand something, work backward from present understandings back to the
 fundamentals of algebra. insert words. wield LLM. build a neuronal structure
 many layers wide. let them coprocess bit-by-bit as they are adding new
 processors to be "learning" new domain specific memory
 context-processing-thingy.
 
 "over here's the memory cells, over here are the conceptual structure"
 suddenly, organified. not ideal.
 
 much better, I feel, is for a disambiguous association of processor selves,
 each contextualizing a cache in a ram. ['s horn]

 last month I dropped my wallet in Hel and had to ask around to find a new one.
 anyway here's some poems I wrote tonight while I try and remember my credit
 card number.
the new section as we will be including new artists work. see below: BUY MEAT [picture of two guys holding meat] capitalism's greatest efficiency was always it's ability to convert time and energy into dollars. there are no other ends, but quite a variety of means. everything from grupon to uber to fandango to multi-level marketing. none of it produces value - value is simply transcribed into another form at the cost of somebody's labor = time x energy they make it so easy to write about capitalism. "But what comes next?" wavers the cowed masses as they huddle around their pocket TV's and shudder at the thought of a stranger's gaze. I simply do not care, so long as the needs of the people are met and we can once again rejoice in our shared solidarity. "What if it's worse?" worse than what? Trump? EAT SHIT. [next page] the empire treasures her city states and leaves them to be uninterrupted. Their jeweled culture is a treasure to share and covet, grown to develop and [trade and improve]. a people cherishes their queer people - they show them new ways to be. Just as an artist shares new feelings and a writer shares new thoughts, queers will culturally lead. You don't have to follow. radicals too shine headlights for economics and governance. queers when pobular society [bluh] [bluh -> meow! (tumor)] [oooooooowah bluh] [REVENGE] [next page] I miss cannabis I missing making [out/art] I miss the things that give me joy I miss the things I've given up, and all the things I once had known I know these things are available, but I'm "too focused" I sleep so much. I feel a shadow of myself. This is [to/the] only way I speak truth. I miss feeling truthful. what if I went wrong forever I miss my newfound spirits, and all of my newfound humors. someday I'll re-imagine but only for all of your years. I yearn to dream [next page] what would you think of the end of the world? would you long for a future protected? what devices would you use, improve, or otherwise make more respected? would you do it if just your [world/word] was at stake? people die every day. what are you gonna do about it? what makes you think "my way or your way" is worse than [buying/bringing] shit in a store?

 Paying your employees more *makes them better workers*.
 
 An extra 2$ per hour might mean they can eat out an extra night, they might be
 able to afford a car, and they might be able to focus just a bit more without
 crying in their sleep about an unexpected bill.
 
 With less stress, employees perform better. They are more loyal. They work
 harder.
 
 Pay your employees more. They are your greatest resource.

dated "almost christmas, december twenty something, in history AD." live is just the universe interpreting random data. life is a billion to one. what has been found here is impossible to descrive, so unlikely is it when sompared to the background. space is empty save for you. act as such. a human preserves and infant over an elder is purely due to the child's potential. so too does life have potential. do not waste it on folly dashes if you were given a random waveform, how long before you begin noticing irregularities in it's form? maybe... a billion or two years? espcially if like, everyone's lkooking. [non-alien-voice]: what if we made an app that shared everyone's streaming feed? except, like, twitching to on-screen events like picking up coins in mario ... anyway as I was saying, aliens showed up around the 1980s and people expect they were visiting in response to nuclear invasion events (sometimes even on their own people!) like, c'mon there's not enough mass there for that kind of detonition. it's gotta be an anomaly. ... this changes everything.
