 I mean yeah, they're like 50$ what do you expect xD
 
 But for something simple like this they should be sufficient. Perhaps if such
 a massive investment in SOCs was implemented on a national scale, we'd develop
 more reliable systems? One can hope!

 subscription. 90% of which is set into a pool and used as tournament prize
 winnings. when you enter a tournament, it's free to participate and everyone
 wins something. (maybe calculated by percentile or something?) it's just a

 when they say "capitalism is a competitive game" what they mean is "capitalism
 is a game where everyone wins when someone else loses" and what we hear is
 "capitalism is a game of trying to screw you out of as much money as possible"
 and the truth is "capitalism is a game that you can't play" because 95% of the
 people who will read this toot are not stock-owners.

 these two things took me all evening. I played some video games too. I put
 them in one so you don't have to see so many of them.
a picture of a page from the bicycle notebook.  first part is a collection of brainstorming and diagrams drawn in pursuit of Raleigh, my stab at artificial intelligence.  It's not done yet, in fact it's hardly even a design. It's more like, a thought in the mind that is slowly evolving to adapt to challenges that it might face when being implemented.  and sometimes it's like, beautiful architectures that I'm like "what could I do with these?"  anyway then it starts to devolve into kooky-dookerie about halfway through, and the rest of the notes are written in slant-form -> like, instead of reading one-after-another they sorta change tone and intonation rapidly in a cycle - it's super disorienting. Except visually it's like, tilted text, like a picture-frame that's nudged to one side and hanging from it's frame instead of it's wire holding-point.  do blind people often touch paintings? I doubt it, because it damages the painting. Alas, that materials are finite and flawed and degrade and become stone again. Good news though, sometimes pictures can carry meanings that are impossible to describe visually, but not impossible auditorily.  like, the sound of the voice in your head as you read the plaquards at a museum that displays ancient artifacts or bones of massive beasts or gemstones or science experiments or art or culture or mechanical motion displayed like clockwork and hope.  history is one of my favorite. you can find them by the side of the road. they're lovely homes 4 us many fediverse posts placed into a single image to be passed around as a bundle for people that the viewer decides might want to see them - y'know, like an artwork.

 if you want to solve EVERY housing issue in the United States, at least in the
 short and mid-term, add a ramping tax penalty for unoccupied houses that
 doesn't reset to 0 upon being occupied but rather starts ticking down at the
 same rate that it increases.
 
 Something like 0.5% to 1% of the property value for every month it's gone
 unoccupied as a primary residence.

 highly, highly recommend having a smart phone and a dumb phone at the same
 time. The smart phone can be wi-fi only so you don't have to pay for it,
 just... have it around in-case you need it. Use it for things like playing
 Magic Survival or messaging from bed, but use your flip phone for all the
 phone-related activities like calls and texts.

 true, but much the same way people will rebel against inconvenience by writing
 passwords on sticky notes, so too might they put SSH keys onto the nearest
 flash drive without validating that it hasn't been compromised. There's
 tradeoffs everywhere I guess.

 can't fucking wait till we're done eating the rich and I can go back to a
 simple life of playing with my cat, making video games, writing poetry (bad
 poetry, but I like it) and hanging out with my friends.
 
 gotta build the social infrastructure to get through this phase first, though.

a person's quiz results from an online test determining their sexuality direction, instead of orientation.  results summary: taken 2024, february 8th.  == Results from bdsmtest.org ==  80% Vanilla  57% Non-monogamist  46% Experimentalist  40% Voyeur  39% Exhibitionist  25% Switch  14% Dominant  11% Submissive  4% Primal (Hunter)  1% Daddy/Mommy  0% Rigger  0% Ageplayer  0% Brat  0% Brat tamer  0% Degrader  0% Degradee  0% Boy/Girl  0% Masochist  0% Master/Mistress  0% Owner  0% Pet  0% Primal (Prey)  0% Rope bunny  0% Sadist  0% Slave  end of results.  of note is 80% vanilla, meaning attachment to the more primal or innate values and experiences of sex, rather than activities built for a specific purpose.  next is non-monogamist, meaning multiple partners. Love doesn't have to be confined to a single person, it's a passionate tool that can be used to develop bonds between people and foster affection for a cause.  next is experimentalist, as in "I'll try anything once" because otherwise how would you learn  we're already at 40% now, with voyeur, as in "if it was part of art or a ritual I'd totally watch someone have sex" but not excitedly more like "yeah uhhhh if that's necessary sure"  next is exhibitionist, and for the same reason it's close at 39% - meaning I'd slightly rather watch than perform  (though I am an excellent performer.)  running out of words - okay the rest are switch 25%, dominant 14 vs submissing 11, meaning I can relate above and below, but a bit more below

 Steps to make a game waterfall style:
 
 Lay out all the data structures 
 
 Build methods which manipulate those structures (think getters and setters)
 
 Then build machinery which operates upon those structures using those methods,
 like game loops, cooldown timers, and status effects
 
 Then develop a way to present it to the player using UIs, visuals and
 graphics, narratives, sound, all that junk that's probably someone else's job
 anyway

 [2] players who played better should be compensated to a higher degree. no
 more than +/- 50-100% or so - this encourages players to "play their best"
 while also keeping the stakes relatively similar.

 they're great for long car trips, or going camping, or staying at grandma's
 house for an extended period of time, and other interesting times like that.
 
 I hear Anbernic has a sale going on today.
 
 Also I recommend going for one that runs Linux if possible, the Android ones
 are less hackable and therefore less reliable.

 do it in a random color each time! Here's my implementation for viewing txt
 files colorfully:
some bash computer code which first picks a random color, and if the color is a bad combination (like, black front and black back, meaning you can't see the lines of the letters) then it redoes it and tries to pick a better one randomly. It'll keep trying until it gets a correct combination but honestly there's only like one or two bad ones that don't look so great

 this is how I write trello cards or tickets.
 
 and yes, before you ask, modding this game is a constant struggle because the
 mod tools are... minimal... so you must work around various challenges by, for
 example, adding 1680 different "events" that must be checked every single turn
 for every single province on the map.
A trello card describing a proposed change to a video game mod that has only one person working on it. It's essentially documentation. It is written in a professional style with several sections - the first lists the "current behavior", the second shows the intended behavior (with a small section for the intended effects of the intended behavior), and the third major section lists the proposed solutions in as much detail as possible without writing the code itself.

 be because you make a billion dollars per year. Anything you don't spend
 should be taxed away, to be used for public services and the defence of our
 nation.

 I want to work with compute shaders. massively distributed computations that
 handle things using the graphics card. That's why I want to make low-level
 games, because you can utilize your system to it's utmost potential by
 sacrificing the incredibly expensive modern gaming graphical requirements.
 
 like honestly, we don't need ray-tracing in a poker game.
 
 Seriously use that graphical technology for more interesting things, like
 manually computing every single hair on the other player's character model
