"things are nice" yeah fucking... whatever. we can't keep shit normal for long. we're down for/from the silence, and time keeps us looking beyond. what happens next? what's "now" in the story? you're far from the last to [devour/use hours]. you think we haven't been fighting this fight since forever? moloch doesn't win. who but [yo/you]?

I have always missed them. who cares for the poor? family cares for child, church for the devoted, the world for, who? fill in the blanks. fuckin' ask chatGPT to make it longer. add text between the words. who are we but the worthy? who else is there? the [words await / world awaits] a dose of luck. my luck makes me. why would I assume that I'd get better at what I'm doing if I stopped doing what I'm doing if I stopped doing what I'm doing if I stopped doing what I'm doing if I stopped doing what I'm stopping what I'm doing because doing what I'm doing stops me doing what I need to be doing. [next page] what if we just stopped going to work and didn't leave our houses what if we just made it happen what if we just made our heaven a better world is possible. a better world is within reach. for the children of tomorrow, all we need is the meek. where are they? do they sleep or know? If you don't stop traffic, your protest doesn't matter. If you don't ask every window if maybe your ideas could come in. If your parade doesn't knock on every door, asking them to join in. "hey, wanna play? we're playing catch in the road. say, do you know anyone in a different town? wanna knock on the door of all of your kin? it's a better world tomorrow, and everyone can come in." [next page] Did you know that nothing's that real if you're not afraid of it? what are they gonna do, shoot you? for what, not moving your shit to the side of the road? you like it where it's at, that's why you put it there, so fuck off if you'd rather it's unprotected. The sun and the rain and the cold and the maned all demand that our stuff is on hallowed ground - the kind which walls all surround. And yet they'd cast us out. How rude. Well, I'm not afraid of you. what are YOU gonna do? what if I didn't pay my rent and never got a job and just helped out wherever I could find a friendly nod. "oh hey ho've ya been okay what are we working on here?" don't see nothin? start somethin" anarchy is fun. bullets less so. [next page] most jobs are bullshit. If dollars suddenly didn't exist but people kept doing what they were doing, people would work like twice a week. Me? more or less, who can say, depends on how I did feel that day. I tend to burn out. what if I didn't go to work for a month? "oh no my stakeholder value" get over yourself. your games do hold value. act like life is on the line. (off in the corner) "... hello?"

 "having an imitator" on a mass scale doesn't have to mean selling your soul
 for cash or acclaim.
 
 it doesn't mean mean your reputation is tarnished, it just means your style is
 off mass renown.

 all you'd have to do in order to divide a whole nation is keep your workers

 wonderful lives, and... we're just supposed to be here while they're
 destroying their own lives. I can't understand why she won't just leave well
 enough alone - why must she insist on every fight we've un-yet atoned?

 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. : (

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.

 those are the kind of people who probably shouldn't take up that much space in
 your thoughts
 
 like... they're hypocrites. yeah-sure-fine-whatever. Maybe their opinion could
 be changed if they were in different social circumstances, but, they're not,
 so... fuck 'em until they are, yeah?
 
 so many people don't think for themselves. That's okay, they don't have to
 think if they don't want to. I guess. But they also can hurt people, so...
 fuck 'em, until they are given the chance to consider, and they choose to
 consider.
 
 It's very difficult to maintain hatred when presented with the possibility of
 consideration. But those kind of people typically never have that opportunity.
 So... like I said, fuck 'em. Don't give them power, don't let them hurt
 people, but they can fuck right off with their hatred and vitriol (vitriol not
 unlike this kind that I'm writing right now)

 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]

 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.
