 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!

 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.

[next page]  I've never had a people. 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.

 for cash or acclaim.
 
 it doesn't mean mean your reputation is tarnished, it just means your style is
 off mass renown.

 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?
