 One of the first video games I ever played was Dragon Warrior 3 for the
 gameboy color.
 
 The game starts with god asking you about yourself in a dream. This was the
 first time I heard the word "gemini" - At one point, she asks if you are M or
 F.
 
 Me, being a child, thought she was asking if I wanted to go "medium speed" or
 "fast speed" and I'm like, hell yeah I wanna go fast
 
 that's it
 
 that's the whole reason I'm trans
 
 at one point in the game I became a queen of a faraway land
 
 and I couldn't leave the castle without the guards saying "no no miss you
 can't leave, it's too dangerous for a battle-hardened adventurer dainty flower
 like you to leave"
 
 (I think they say you have to renounce your claim to the throne if you want to
 leave but I would rather fucking die)
 
 so I never got farther than that. Sorry world, but I didn't end up slaying the
 demon king, I sorta just walked around the palace and cried because it felt
 like the game was over.
 
 kids, amiright?

  I am once again begging people to understand that “the government” already knows you’re queer whether you do elaborate online opsec dance rituals or not, and if they decide to just start shooting people for being gay, they’ll do it whether the evidence is airtight or not. is that grim? yes. but you can stop giving yourself undercover superhero identity PTSD about it

 you don't have to write poetry to write notes. The poetics are just practice
 for when secrecy is intended.

 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]

 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]

 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?

 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.

 could give us some experience organizing small, short-term projects to
 accomplish specific goals and tasks in an ad-hoc way that relied less upon
 procedure and more on "I think so-and-so knows something about that, they were
 looking into those files and posted a breakdown of how they work yesterday"

 I'm 29, and I had Pokemon Silver growing up. However I bought it used, and the
 battery was worn out or something because it wouldn't save! But still I played
 that single game for months on my gameboy color, trying to see how far I could
 get. I had a level 40+ Totodile (or was it Crocanaw? I forget) and
 unfortunately one day I took it on a 30 minute car ride, expecting the battery
 to last at least 30 minutes, but unbeknownst to my child self there was
 construction on the way, which turned it into a 4+ hour drive. I couldn't
 believe it! The battery died, and I lost my save file... I was heartbroken. T.T
 
 Next time I played, I learned a lot. I actually read some of the dialogue
 text, and learned you could use pokeballs to capture pokemon
 
 I was so dumb I was using a single character to get through the game. What a
 n00b.
 
 Anyway when my mom heard about my tribulations she bought me Pokemon Gold,
 which I played quite a bit less. I was focused on other things you see, like
 Dragon Warrior Three. Alas.
