not sure how busy you are, but maybe you could hang around outside the food
bank and offer to trade with other people who come out with 4 pounds of
carrots and 6 whole pumpkins?
when in doubt there's always rice and beans for the peppers. The melons
probably just have to be eaten.
If you don't get to all of them (because let's face it, who's gonna eat all
that melon) then maybe you could feed it to rabbits or something.
this situation is pretty common in rural areas where people have large
harvests of single crops all at once, or in a very short timeframe. However in
those places there's infrastructure in place to distribute your extra, so idk
what you could do here now unless you have friends who are willing to trade.

I love cooking. My favorite food is "melange" also called "gruel" by the less
culinary people in my life. It consists primarily of a rice or noodle base,
plus a bunch of other ingredients (usually sauteed) that are quite nutritious.
Then, you season in a way such that it tastes delicious and savory and BOOM
you have the perfect food.
Well, not as good as steamed eggs, but still pretty good.

don't know how to make decent rice and beans?
get the heartiest vegetable soup you can find from the store and cook some
jasmine rice and lentils in a pot. You should be able to do both in the same
pot. cook them like noodles by boiling some water and adding the rice and
beans. add some salt to the water. make it salty like the sea.
then drain the rice and beans once you taste test them to be done. be patient.
add the hearty, savory soup to the mix alongside a big hunk of butter.
boom, protein, calories, nutrients. all in one meal. the more vegetables in
the soup, the better, and if you're feeling fancy you can sautee some of your
own instead of soup by dicing them into inch large chunks and throwing them in
a pan on medium heat with some butter and whatever seasonings you want for a
while, stirring only when they start to stick. Just enough to brown them, not
burn them.
butter and salt and garlic and boullion are your friends. don't do too much,
if you notice them a lot then it's too much.

Vegetables are delicious! There's lots of nutrients. However vegetables, while
can be eaten raw, are much more useful for your body molecularly if you cook
them first. I think it breaks down the cellular walls so that your body can
digest the juicy tasty nutrients locked within.
Vegetables also don't have calories, that you get from things with vitality.
You are what you eat, and sometimes if you need it you might want to try meat.
Me? I'm a vegetarian, that's why I'm so skinny! Carnivores have it so easy, I
have to eat about 2x as much rice-and-beans by weight.
At least I'm not vegan - I can supplement with fats like butter and cooking
oil, which are useful when combined with nutrients, as they allow your body to
store them for later. Just make sure you eat enough calories which are energy
for your body, otherwise it won't have the chemical energy to store said
nutrients in your latent fat cells. Like, building up a pantry, or a squirrel
saving nuts for winter.

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

Highly recommend "Better than Boullion" - if your recipe involves boiling
water, unless it's tea there's a good chance that some broth-in-a-jar could
make it taste better.
Did you know you can boil oats like noodles? Yeah that's... that's basically
how you make oatmeal. Use less water than with noodles, though.
EDIT: Also, add some bits of nutrition like dried fruit, nuts that have been
soaking in clean water overnight, nutritional yeast, dehydrated soup mix
(delicious), or frozen vegetables.

does anyone know of a recipe that uses only flour, butter, yeast, eggs, and
salt? It doesn't need to use every ingredient, but those are easy to acquire.
ideally with the ability to include nuts or dried fruit or something else
nutritious.
the requirements include the ability to cook it using only a rice-cooker (or
crock pot, or other kind of slow-cooking ceramic dish which heats from all
directions at once)
in addition, it must NOT need kneading. It must be able to be cooked passively
without attention. The fewer steps, the better.

It's healthier to eat rice, beans, and vegetables, with some fats added in via
butter or oil.
The goal is to build up fat stores that are high-value. When your body has
excess calories, it takes whatever nutrients are CURRENTLY in your system and
stores them in fat cells, like stocking a pantry. If all you eat is cheetos,
your pantry is gonna be useless. It'll just slow you down. But if you have
highly nutritious foods, you will perform better as your body consumes the fat
when it needs to feed, but you haven't eaten much lately.

cheese is just a body-part that a cow has willingly shed. For nutrition.
Is it vegetarian if it's the cells produced by a body? Is it vegan if it is
capable of growing back?
Do snakes shed their selves when they leave behind a shell? Or is it like
hair, just... keratin, a compound found all over nature.
Is cutting a branch vegan? Is eating a cherry that has fallen to the center of
the road? Both those are made of fibrous materials, the nutritious bounteous
feast, and a small kernel-like mass that serves as a propagation method for a
creature utterly vast.
(But factory farms, remember?)
(Oh yeah! Thank goodness for reform.)

also, if you have a lot of a particular item (like, boxes of nutritious
granola bars with lots of nuts, maybe some chocolate, peanut butter, and dried
fruit) then you can place them such that the last box is on the bottom, while
the first box is reachable from the top.
that way, as you eat them, you can slowly reach the bottom.

stretch every day, exercise your arms, core, and legs on alternating days
[first one, then the other, then the third, then either rest or restart
depending on how you feel]
flexibility is strength. strength gives you options. agility is speed,
dexterity is precision, wisdom is accuracy.
eat rice, beans, vegetables, and either oil or butter when you can. they work
together to keep you healthy and nourished.
be nice to creatures, whether they be animal or children or just sorta feral.
spend time feeling adventurous. climb on things because you can. be sensible
and courageous in all things. there's more to every moment than you remember,
and there's more to every story than you hear.
if you find something neat, share it with others. don't let it sit on a shelf.
unless people come by to see it every so often.
there are always people like you around. you are never alone when you are
known.

phew, just got back from a long nap and I had such a lovely dream! Gonna write
down everything I can remember in my dream journal, will letcha know when I
have something to share.
Also... sorry about the sun. I have no idea if it was worth it because I woke
up quite a bit later. Ah well anyway gotta do some writing, I hope everyone
has a pleasant day. Make sure you eat nutrients and stay hydrated and do your
stretches and work on your posture and all that.
vegetables have minerals, fruits have vitamins, rice-and-beans or meat have
protein, and oils and fats have calories. try and eat a lot of different
colors of veggies and a lot of different colors of fruits (a green fruit and a
green vegetable are not necessarily the same nutritionally)

then go do some pushups
then find some friends
then pitch a tent in the park
then explain to the cops that you're not actually homeless and living there
you're just trying to do this as a social statement because someone on the

then use your phone call to call your representative and complain about how
much funding the police get
then study law for 30 years because that's how long the government decided

when you run out of an ingredient you use often (like butter, seasoning, or

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.

whether you eat halloween candy by the handful or savor each and every bite,
what matters most for tooth decay is duration
1 person who spends 2 hours eating a snickers bar is going to get more
cavities than someone who spends 10 minutes eating 22.
but your stomach doesn't care when you ate them, only that you ate quite a
few. Meaning you're likely to either get sick, or put on a pound or twenty-two.
I think it's better to try many different tiny little treats, but always
remember that the time you spend consuming bits of the sugar dimension add up,
and eventually your time will come to resign yourself to a fate with little
candy remaining, for you've grown too old for such childish things as tasty
yummy splendor.
old, or fat. Heh heh heh, can you imagine that? your belly sticks out from
under your hat! how cute. But dearie, dont you know that every pound you bear
is another that you have to carry around with you? It can be useful sometimes
to be so prepared, and othertimes not. I trust you know that.

This will never end on a note, because i always have more to say. Like this:
"if you've only done something once, plan to mess it up. Practice makes
perfect, and only perfect practice leads to perfection. But nobody's perfect,
so just practice with good form and take it seriously while having fun and be
relaxed. Make it normal. Make it casual, but don't forget to be professional!
If you have lives in the balance, know what you're doing."
And like, would that have been a better end to the story if i had left it
unsaid? Maybe, who can say! But I'm not one for silence. I don't mind ruining
the finale of my documents a bit if it means i can say things like:
"diapers aren't something you can get addicted to in this game, they're part
of the fun sometimes but sex is between two bodies."
Or like:
"ramen noodles love vegetables! This is why they put veggies in the bowl when
getting ramen at a restaurant. When you buy from a shop they put dehydrated
veggies in too which is nice of them. I love those little bits of soup!"
Or like:
"i don't especially care what they did or are doing in Cuba or china or Russia
or any other Communist place. It's useful to know what things work and what
doesn't, but that insight comes from experimentation and not study. The
learnings of methods applied to a population are inherently related to that
population. If you switch peoples, you might find that different methods work
better for organizing people."
I mean it's useful to know which levers you can pull and what they tend to do,
but... Where was I? Oh sorry, got swept up in the narrative. As i was saying,
it's important to balance thought with action. Leave too much to chance and
your words are useless. Spend all your time volunteering and nothing changes.
"hmmm i see, makes sense, imma go play video games now."
Wait no just...! Ah nuts.

... Maps, my dear, those are important fuel.
But also food is important. Why haven't you gotten groceries for weeks?
It's also important to clean yourself. Doesn't your apartment still have fleas?
Your cat demands your attention. Give it to her.
Wear masks when in public, to ward off disease. When you are speaking remove
it, so others can see your totality.
There are some who belong here who aren't so kind. Remember that your neighbor
is republican, their neighbor is democrat, their neighbor is republican, their
neighbor is democrat. It's going to get messy, but here in our cities there
are plenty of us. We can defeat them, so long as we are armed.
Practice reloading. Practice aiming. These things can be done in secrecy. The
noise and the recoil are enough to set your nerves ablaze, but ride that high
and trust in your adrenaline. Have your foes surrounded on at least three
sides before you engage. These are words for a different day, but keep them in
mind. Internalize them.

it's like how they solve problems in Star Trek - there's a bridge crew, and
they exchange their opinions with each other of the situation as it unfolds.
In doing so they can help guide one another through the problems they are
tasked with solving in order to resolve the difficult diplomatic situation at
hand.
sorta like how with your method, people suggest their desired option
continuously until they find an option that everyone wants. Or if only one
person can't decide, they can pick any of the other options suggested (not by
them) (as long as they can eat there / utilize the outcome of the decision
being made, for example a vegetarian not being able to eat at a steakhouse or
perhaps a librarian being tasked with something other than the storing and
dissemination of vital information)

@user-129 if you throw your plate across the room instead of eating well then
it was probably an accident. if you keep doing it and are being a huge brat
about it then maybe you should go in time-out until you are ready to sit at
the table and eat like an adult. plates are expensive yo, and people are
starving (for housing) in Africa or whatever.
in related news, I heard that ~40% of homes in America are empty. I don't know
if that's still true, I read it in like, 2014. I wonder if it's higher or
lower now?

heat it up a bit
crack four eggs in there
cut some slices off of a hunk of cheese
add some chips on top of the eggs
add the cheese on top of the eggs
cover it and leave it on the like, 2 or 3 out of 10 heat setting

for the beans, if you want, throw a can of refried beans on the stove and add
a TINY can of tomato chunks and a big hunk of butter
let it cook until it's smooth consistency, stirring and such. Add paprika,

that's totally fine, a fish does not do well in a tree, and so too does a
leftist not do well in an environment without the potential for stable bonds.
Essentially all you'd be able to do is "hey leftism right?" "oh yes I also
leftism" "neat" which isn't very productive.
I also live in an environment like that. I do my best to identify people who
stay, because in my experience there are often people who stay. I do this by
walking around the neighborhood when I can, making up excuses to walk to the
dumpster or mailbox at random hours, riding my bike around the area, using the
communal spaces like gyms, swimming pools, and picnic tables, and sitting in
my hammock on my porch lazily noting people who walk past.
People who stay will tend to remain in your mind the more times you see them.
They are better people to talk to than the renters who disappear after 3
months or whatever.
I don't always do all that stuff at once. I take breaks. I do one at a time.

It's easy to say this, but even our leaders are chained, to the will of the
people (eggs at the grocery store have prices that rose and fell) and the
structure of their power.
Our spiritual leaders are confined to their doctrine. Our educational leaders
must obey the way the government decrees is best. Our technological leaders
can only make what we think will sell well. Our artistic leaders offer a
glimmer of hope, until they sell out and spend the rest of their lives on tour.

today is a magical day. I can feel it in my fate.
Always remember, having fun is important too! Don't forget to be yourself, and
keep it together man. If you see a door, you should open it - what's on the
other side? Love for animals and kindness of the spirit are impossible to
fake, they always know if you're lying. Not the animals, they can be dumb
sometimes, but the other thing.
And now for the downsides.
If you find a cursed artifact, please don't throw it in the river. It might
ask you to, but please don't. Much better to destroy it by melting it down (if
it's metal, which is common as metal lasts long enough to become forgotten) or
convince it that it's a recently deceased person being buried (helps if you
know the creator).
If none of that applies to you, don't worry. Eat something healthy, drink a
decent amount of water, and maybe exercise a bit.
Oh, and it can't hurt to ask.

you can grow anything in soil.
that's the neat thing about it - it's nature's recycler
problem is... if you bury like, plastic and shit, then all that's gonna grow
up into your plants is... plastic and shit.
the structural growth mechanisms of plants are inhibited by pollution, that's
the entire issue with them. animals can adapt - like, whatever, right?
but if everything's biodegradable, then suddenly the whole world is a
trash-dump.
(that's how they think)
if you want to optimize food growth, you can supply with specific types of
growing fuel. like native americans who had like supplies of many different
types of manure.
a cow eating grass will have different nutrients in it's poop than a duck
eating carrots. duh.
so, if you combine different outputs to make new, better results...
you can pretty much bio-engineer anything you'd like.
like... feed the corn so that it's kernels are huge, right? then make that one
marry the other, and boom it's more likely grow.

the quality of a harvest is not measured in bushels,
if you need more, grow more.
the quality of a harvest is measured in the size and quality of the land
fruits.
less chopping, more eating.

When you run out of a seasoning, put the empty bottle in a special place that
you can see before going to the store.
When I carried a purse, I'd put it in there. Could also go in the pocket of a
sweatshirt or jacket that you wear when doing errands. Maybe even just on the
ledge next to your shoes. Something that reminds you to get this particular
seasoning, and no others. It's easy to get others...

cops thought "enforcing the law" was their job when really it was "keeping the
peace"
and like, yeah, sure, laws define how they optimize for
but sometimes the laws are just out of reach.
(though such an impartialized system is also pretty flawed in it's own unique
ways, like for example the enforcers of the law would be able to apply their
law selectively, which... would not be great.)
downside is... how do you dissent to those who cannot hear you? you have to
break things
which is why I believe that breaking things unnecessarily is unethical.
sometimes you have to do a MORE unethical act in the pursuit of your goals,
however nefarious or not they may be, but as long as they are done in pursuit
of a greater grander truth, then... the ends justify the means? right?"

I believe that all people's should be middle class, and if you're lower class
it's because you squandered your wealth, not that you didn't have it to begin
with.
I believe people of higher class should get there because they are skilled,
respected, or otherwise beloved. I believe they should hold less power the
more they own, because wealth is its own burden and reward.
I believe people who have power should respect it. They aren't necessarily
those who have little, or much, but rather those who deserve it. It is
difficult to estimate systematically who deserves wealth or power, but
difficult problems are the most interesting if kept fair.

When you say "we need more low income housing" they hear "I want to live near
more poor people" and they think "why would I want to live near poor people?
They're poor for a reason! We only need enough around to work the jobs that
suck anyway." which is basically their way of justifying slavery/indentured
servitude, as it's not like they'd ever offer a way to climb out of that
low-income pit. And its not like they'd ever let you pay them more, so they
can afford to be equals, because then they wouldn't be middle-class anymore.
They'd just be mid.

one day, a man came to our saloon. He said he knew the navy, and that they
wanted to provide air support
in the form of rocketball-launched explosion doohickeys. Would you have a foe
in mind?
what happens when tomorrow you're cooking briskets? -- barbeques are a type of
relaxation
that happened just one day to a port-sided town that suddenly was the capital
of
an embassy.
"hey, so... how's it goin?" "quick here take this envelope, read it if you
want,
but just hold onto it for now I don't have enough hands [to carry]" "what sort
of desperation plot... wait... hang on, I see something here that is true."
[I'm praying, right now, which is a form of reciprocal belief]
they wanted to test god's existence at the stake of earth's survival, how
brutal
how insane
you can't play chicken with an imperceptibility, sometimes you feel it at face.
channeling dark magics, and at this hour? what sort of skeptic of belief are
you
thinking of when you think about me?
one way to get power is to "prove it"
one way to get magic is to "prove it"
think, hard, at all that you can, and use what you need in the moment.
that's all there is to life. it's easy. it's simple. in fact, biology only
works
because the choices available to a bacteria are so simple, they are essentially
chemical reactions to each other's co - sequent - inter - cooper - actions.
people's choices are much more naiive, "I want this thing" "I think this is
better" "I feel this way toward this thing" "Here's what's on the mind-logbook"
"people search and be decieved, this is the way of things" "this makes me
remind
myself of a object I once saw, here's how it functioned" "no one reads this"
scaryyyy. so glad it's not true.
a couple people have read it! I swear it's true. at least, some of it. there's
a lot
sucks because this feels like... crucial? like nothing else matters but this?
what if our gangs had rocket launchers and airstrikes, given out by a central
authority who knows logistics better than anything
what... would they do?
thinking of impossiblities is the first step toward possibilities
frankly, we have a lot of space. we could just... live in our own petty
kingdoms
ruled by an iron-hand-fist. I know I'm a good person, I could definitely rule.
that's all it takes, right?
how much space are we talkin'?
however much is not needed for wildlife.
[a whole heck of a lot then]
we are constrained in these suburb cities, the density gives rise to our
strength and our towers. there's more space, sure, especially once the fences
are downed. Just be careful because there's a lot of shade and precious spots
there. Please don't trample on the plants-grass.
what if everyone were just a bit more mobile?
what if we could live in our own collectively owned air-bnb-networks?
federations, free, all from the collectivization of housing.

The only things we should trade across an ocean for are luxury goods.
Nintendo, not medical supplies, hard-wood bikeframes, not piles and piles of
"recycling". People's time on culinary thirty course weeklong meals, not cans
of San marzano tomatoes. Tapestries and gilded statues, not thirteen tons of
barely processed rubber.
What would we offer in return? Luxuries of our own. We do still make them, do
we not? Just think of what the 1% has gathered to rot and give away the whole
damned lot. We shall not provide necessities, because giving a man a fish will
feed him for but a day, and a man's gotta eat. He'll find a way.

thus enters the promise of technology: that we might solve the problems of
bureaucracy once and for all by ever more effiency-aligning mechanical
processes that produce effects which we desire - such as efficient allocation
of medical resources such that all of humanity is protected from the ravages
of pain and the incongruencies of our nature.
Alas, that we should only conceive of success through the lens of profit.
Perhaps another design is in order?
(oh yeah also people who are in control are worried that we, like all other
examples of natural entities, might immediately proceed to breed beyond the
capability to cater to the needs of said entity (such as "to feed" and medical
resources) and therefore might overburden (and therefore destroy) said system
which allows for their sustenance and initial creation. To this I say... Yeah

Much the same way that it is legal to create trash in a public park, but
illegal to leave it behind, so too should it be legal to move digital media
files from one owner to another, and illegal to not delete the original.
The dual operation of copy+delete must be legalized, while maintaining that
the copy operation alone is illegal, aside from personal backups.
How could you enforce that? Well... You can't. Your computer will do whatever
you tell it to, and if you change that fact then you necessarily remove one of
the primary use-cases of computation - the ability to command specific
instructions and be delivered a perfectly mechanical and deterministic result.
(random number generation aside, which isn't truly random at all).
Therefore, just as littering in a public place is generally considered to be
enforced by the "honor rule", so too must this new legislation governing the
transference of digital media be enforced as such.

yeah honestly if you stick with obvious things like "don't murder people" and
"don't burn down your neighbor's house just because they winked at your
daughter" and "don't steal gasoline from parked cars" then it's much easier to
make ethical laws because they're just kinda... common sense.
drug regulation can only be simplified to "don't do drugs" which isn't always
a given. If you start with something so clear then most doctors would be out
of a job.
Maybe we should let people do as they please? With certain specific and clear
rights and responsibilities like 'the right the life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness'? And the mandated guarantee that one person's rights end where
another's begin? And with the ultimate goal of dismantling unjustified power

@user-1209
people have been pretty stingy lately with hot dogs. kinda makes a racoon guy
think there's not enough "pork" snacks circulating in the economy. oh look
turns out like 50 people own 90% of the buns, which is why nobody can make
anything edible anymore.
yeesh how's a cool cat supposed to make money if people only offer you "jobs"
that make "dollars" - what good is a dollar, and why do we need so many of
them? I just want a house, just want food for myself and my cat. surely
there's nothing wrong in that impulse, the desire to be as I am?
people tend to work best on what interests them, and the hardest when they're
otherwise bored. capitalist enslavement provides neither of those.

vegetables?
Is it too much to ask that we take responsibility for the cultivation of the
legacy of our forefathers, and the protection and nourishment of the earth

convinced. I am a witch, you see, and while I can't quite control fire or
bullets I can do other neat things. if you'd let me, humanity.
I'm not doing an ARG, not intentionally. I pretty much post things I conceive
of, like a conduit passed through spacetime. wild how mind bending the future
can be. will be interesting to see what kinds of things there is in store for
people you and me.

Universal basic income AND universally distributed rations. If nobody goes
hungry, then people can spend their money toward things they care about, and
not things they need to live.
Without the rations, UBI becomes just another tax, levied by the landlords
instead of the government.
With the rations, people can frolic in the street and do whatever they please.
If you aren't too concerned about having enough to eat, why bother with
capitalism? Why not just lie in a ditch?

media production company Disney could not host the content of other media con-

How else are you to know your limits if you don't test your boundaries? And,

Consumption is contribution to a capitalist system. Normalize taking whatever
you are given and living as humbly as you can. Only when everyone does that
may capitalism die. Talk to them, learn from their stories. Teach them your
ways but don't force anything upon them. Any ounce of regret is defined as a
mind not aligned to the angle of perception that designs the line that the
collective mind co-re-assigns.

Here's what you say to clover next week:
"hey. Wanna get coffee sometime? I need some trouble in my life. And I dunno,
maybe you need a witch.
You live in Tanasbourne, I live in Rock Creek. We're within walking distance
of each other, so we might as well say hi right? I'm free whenever, just let
me know if you'd like to meet me."

║ socialism doesn't necessarily look like the DSA. It's more like, the bonds you │

What if we taxed 100% of a farmer's profit so they were forced to sell their
goods at 100% market rate with no markups and we paid them based on how much
food they produced based on market factors that are calculated and constantly
updated according to expected and desired demand

most people think vegetarianism is about animal ethics. Some sorts of
vegetarians think vegetarianism is about health benefits. These entrepreneurs
mentioned here think it's about health benefits because they're thinking "oh
well maybe someday in the future we'll be able to 3D print the "animal" fat we
need for this application, then we'll be able to appeal to ethics vegetarians
too."

hey does anyone want to hire me to do literally anything?
I'll work for peanuts, and I'm pretty good at programming in C. I write pretty
well, and I'm excellent at customer service (though my profile would beg to
differ.)
I have experience at large corporations and small ones, and I live in Portland
OR
I do game design, and many other things besides, and I'm friendly and kind. I
promise I won't wear my witch hat to the meeting with investors, unless you
think they'd be into that?
I'm great with animals, better than people in fact, and I'm quite good with
people, as they're just animals at best. I'm not as strange as I seem to be,
at least not when you're dancing with my mask.
I've grown quite bored, you see, and what better thing is there to be? than a
working professional who knows what's best.
I believe in our shared future, so if you'd like to work on a project just let
me know - I work hard. A little too hard, because odds are I'll burn out after
a year or so.
I'm quite sharp, and I learn quickly.
