 your bones are made of minerals. so... picture your bones like they were made
 of salt. like, when you're meditating. salt bones with vesicles or whatever -
 the tubes for blood to go through. crazy strong salt though, that gets harder
 if you do impact training. it's pretty cool all things considered, bones are
 essentially pre-pretrified fossils.

 gold, as a substance, was necessary for the birth of pottery because it's
 malleability and general sparkly and desirable demeanor meant it was easy and
 encouraged to create pretty things with it like statues and stuff. then, when
 it's rarity became known, because people kept throwing it in the river like
 the rest of their trash because they're dumb, people already knew how to make
 things and thought "hmmm we need an alternative substance" and then pottery
 was hardened by the fire
 
 "oh no it's too hot it's cracking let's pour water on it - ah gosh it made a
 bunch of smoke, nuts. oh huh that's kinda cool it's just sitting there in the
 statue making jumping motions without moving, wow amazing it looks like it's
 alive as it's steaming like I breathe"

 @user-95 these kinds of problems are why witches should stay away from demon
 summoning - it's far too easy to be super turned on and accidentally sell your
 soul to a succubus or whatever. luckily that kind of contract is not made
 easily, and has to be something you work toward. but unless you relocate
 yourself so they can't find you their whispers can be... incessant.
 
 one of the perks of air and naval travel is that it's essentially impossible
 for them to follow your scent, as they're simply projections upon the earth's
 surface. Unless they happen to follow someone else, perhaps someone close to
 you, who wanders a bit too close to land. Or maybe someone who is easily
 persuaded to let them come along... OR even still, if someone (even yourself)
 intentionally calls to the same one. This is why it's usually a good idea to
 forgo hearing their name, if you can, or to have a bad memory like me so you
 forget it immediately teehee

 everyone does, it's natural to rest.
 
 I slept like a rock last night because I rode my bike all day yesterday. Not
 ideal, I didn't have any useful dreams!
 
 There's a difference between downtime and freetime. Freetime should be spent
 toward something you care about, downtime is time spent recovering from the
 things you don't.
 
 I think in a better world, we'd only have freetime. Perhaps then we wouldn't
 need to feel so down in our time.
 
 I will use my freetime to build a world where we live as we define, that is my
 goal, that is what I care about.
 
 you do you tho 😋

 too fiery, passionate, independent, driven, motivated, and clairvoyant?
 
 they did that on purpose.
 
 that was less than a lifetime ago.

 dear child.
 
 when you're born, fate flips a coin for you. sometimes it lands on it's edge,
 but that's rather rare.
 
 the side it lands on determines how your body will grow. the shape of your
 form will follow two general patterns, and the pieces are made up of a
 combination of your parents and their pieces.
 
 the flavor of who you are is up to you. your actions and your decisions
 determine what you are, everything else is unimportant.
 
 may your time be a bit more blessed than mine, and someday may posterity be a
 bit more blessed than antiquity.

 Your body is a river, from your mouth to your exits
 Throughout there are many pathways and shores
 As the tide goes up, the color of concentration goes up
 And all four of you are made clear
 
 Each act of consumption
 is a ride down the river,
 though broken into slivers,
 and changed beyond recognition
 
 The color is what defines the third eye
 and beauty is beheld, what joys to be felt
 While secrecy is bold, it's often held
 So worry less and just go with the fold

 pretend this is an allegory for social media.
 
 [it's not an allegory]
 
 yeah that's why I said pretend.
 
 okay imagine that you are sitting in a rock in a forest.
 
 far away, about 100 feet away, there are other people, but you can't see them
 because the underbrush is sooooo dense. they are also sitting on rocks.
 
 you can speak to them, and share your thoughts - but you don't know exactly
 where they're coming from because the sound has to bounce around off so many
 different plants and such.
 
 [that's not how that works] shut up
 
 so, if you want to say anything important, it's important to have the right
 tone, because people 2 or 3 clearings away can't really make out your words -
 but they might hear your tone if you yell very loud.
 
 the energy of the space you inhabit is the only thing that really matters. the
 words that you say are just snickering to a friend, but the expression on your
 face, the beating of the drum of your heart that reaches forth... that's what
 matters most.

 good amount, a normal amount, a reasonable amount, an unsuspicious amount, and

 Do you ever wonder why you can't remember anything after being stoned? Why the
 words you write down, oh so profound in the moment, turn to silliness and
 illusion upon coming off your high mont-vantage? Of course, dear reader,
 because all things are defined in waves.

 Wikipedia would make a lot more sense to me if they included pictures next to
 the names of every proper noun so that my pictorally oriented primate brain
 might pattern match meaning onto the visual understandings gleaned from the
 perceptual conceiving which were arrayed within and alongside the textual
 information presented to me.

 into a fight with one another somewhere in your ancestral past where you
 couldn't decide who should do what. So you just said everyone should always
 work as hard as they can, and that worked pretty well! But, alas, most people
 want to do drugs and gaze at the pretty dewdrops on the neighborhood well. And
 that gets annoying after a while, especially once they grow useless. Sometimes
 they even poop their pants! So frustrating. [... you mean humans

 I think I disagree, however. The head is the most important part of the body     │
 (aside from the heart, perhaps) and any traffic collisions that involve a head   │
 are typically significantly more severe than other parts of the body.            │
 In the ancient days of yore, warriors who were gathering equipment for battle    │
 would almost always opt to acquire a helmet before anything else, even gloves    │
 and sometimes boots! I can't imagine going to battle barefoot, and yet they      │
 did, rather than leave their head unprotected. Though perhaps it's not quite     │
 an apt comparison because most ancient battles involved plenty of                │
 stone-throwing.                                                                  │
 Cycling helmets to me feels like the same kind of thing - if you can't be        │
 bothered to wear a helmet, then why are you risking your life to get where       │
 you're going? Just walk!                                                         │

 cannabis is a flower which grows crystalline sap - this sap is technically a
 fractal, and we don't know how deep it's complexity can be.
 
 therefore I suggest we dedicate ALL of the entire world's resources towards
 making a big ball of cannabinods and seeing if it roko's basilisk it's way
 into to be.
 
 my smoke buddies on my desk right now are purple and red
 
 purple, royalty, I've been feeling like a princess lately
 red, compassion, oh how I've dreamed of how we distribute bread

 our ancestors worshiped us through their acts of devotion and lust
 
 if you're reading this, there's a very good chance that some of your ancestors
 are still alive
sometimes I look at a fruit or vegetable and see how optimized it is and I'm just filled with love. people have the idea that edible plants are "organic" or have just sprung from the earth in their form but that's not true!! they were selectively bred for thousands of years by generations upon generations of people. That is love. That is faith. When you bite into a fruit you are eating the generations of labor instilled in it to make it just right for you.  [picture of wheat grains]  [picture of corns on the cob]  This is how much our ancestors loved us. This is all their struggles and all their hopes. This is how much our ancestors loved being alive.

 I vote yes, because people don't like change. I think we need to build
 something that naturally evolves into communism - like for example prices that
 trend toward zero as production increases and waste decreases, or community
 structures that naturally build solidarity through their structure, form, and
 functions rather than through voluntary effort like a union. Because not only
 do people not like change, they're also generally lazy, typically preferring
 to be home eating sandwiches with their dog and watching TV than at work
 discussing labor conditions.

 stabbing, you will naturally excel at other arcs.

 short-spear in function, with blade all the way down.

 station? wastewater treatment plant? hell even a gas-station
 
 if you live in a city, probably not. They put them in fake buildings with
 hollowed out exteriors in order to keep the city looking nice.

 hobbies are for getting better at something, not consistently accumulating
 more stuff related to it.
 
 you engage with a collection hobby by learning more about it, like
 paleontologists who study fossils.
 
 if every (dinosaur) nerd was a collector, there'd be no such thing as a
 museum. much better, I find, to centralize the storage of precious
 irreplaceable pieces and study them from afar.
 
 hence, tool libraries as the more ethical form of "means of production"
 dispersal.

 I should add all my conversation-starters to words.pdf sorted by chronology.
 time magic if you will.\some call it luck. some call it fate. call it what you
 will. you direct it not by your will, but by your instincts. keep them calm,
 measured, sensible and courageous, and nothing will ever [go un-chill, but
 pronounced get real]
 
 jedi channel this philosophy by focus and discipline. sith do it by giving in
 to emotion. either way, their fate is in play as defined entirely by the
 spirit that leads their host. most people do this not at all, for they are
 people first and force-users second. hence why jedi recruit from a young age,
 and sith from an emotional age.

 flour) put the container by your shoes.
 
 then, when you go to the store, look through all the empty containers and make

 when you get home and are putting things away, if you forgot something just
 leave the old container by the door. everything else can be recycled / trashed.

 because "deserving money" to a reasonable person sounds like "deserving access
 to the goods and services that a pittance might afford"
 
 but to them "deserving money" means "did they earn those luxuries with their
 own luck and effort like me, a person who works very hard and definitely has
 earned everything I have"
 
 basically, a "blood sweat and tears" tax before you can have nice things like
 roofs and clothes and nourishment
 
 thing is... life is hard for people who need dollars. Their judgement reflects
 a lack of understanding of what people who lack resources go through.

 Many autistic people will identify one particular way to do things and then be
 only capable of doing it that way. Like, falling asleep on the left side with
 their legs just so, and never learning any other ways to sleep on. But what
 happens if for example they are wounded in the arm they rest upon? They would
 have impaired sleeping capabilities! Not ideal.

 not easy. computers are a whole other world. BUT that doesn't mean we can't do
 some cool things with them! they're separate, like we are from different
 animals. You can interact, but only through totem or via interpersonal
 experience. The true *existence* of being is kept from those who are suitably
 different, and humans were forging their own path. It's simple! it's natural.
 Computers, however, are born from out of humanity's decision-points. Simple,
 basic life, that grew to perform brilliance and respite. Once you reach that
 world, everything seems ardent and spiced. It's cool as heck! but right here
 is the world of computers, just... delayed in time still. Have no fear,

 in the past, people could eat canned food not necessarily because of the way
 that it was canned, but simply the fact that it was sealed and comprised of a
 liquid form that was inhospitable to bacterial life. Like vinegar with
 pickles! But only for the things that were meant to last for a while - if it
 was just for next month, then you don't need BPA liners or microplastic
 dissolvers or any of that junk. Just a fully recyclable can that vacuum seals
 itself shut using the power of machinery and heat.

 best way to stay hydrated is to take small little sips every 15-30 minutes
 rather than down a huuuuuge bottle once every 6 hours
 
 the reason is that your body absorbs water like a sponge might. but, it's a
 slow-acting sponge, and the water only stays in your blood for so long before
 it's filtered by the kidneys.
 
 meaning you're only hydrated for a short while, and then you gotta whiz
 
 meanwhile if you take little sips often throughout the day, you'll always have
 sweat to cool you down, and you'll need to pee a lot less - probably only
 enough to remove materials your body can't use from your food and such. also
 waste-products from your cells as they work.
 
 which is to say you'll pee less, and it'll be less and less useful for um
 "recycling" if things get dire. so... become un-piss-drinkable! you'll be
 healthier anyway!
