 part 2/20
7. gray text on a gray background, as if to suggest the normalcy of concrete even though it's made of crushed tiny shells from a billion zillion years ago ready and waiting here for this moment, when they can be next to you in this life you've taken to, how starlight must seem to a computer!  anyway, the gray text on the gray background reads: "phew, that was weird. ... anyway ..." with the dots and the anyway on a slant from one another, as if they were falling off of the page. 6. picture of the sun cast upon a sunset background, with a large tower of shadow flanked by images of birds and contrails of airplanes. there is an indicator on the blue box meaning someone who is looking at it. don't look at the sun!  silly to assume that our perspective of reality is viewed from the same direction as a planetary body. anyway the face of the planet in question is [redacted] (not really but like... I'm redacting it for artistic purposes because I'm trying to convey a truth with that redaction that is important for the viewer and listener to understand. My ears when I type so fast, owwww)  oh the birds are so pretty, like little things that hold their own against gravity. I'd love to watch them flutter, if only I could see every inch of the planet.  I wonder if you could design a building to explode such that only a single interior building was damaged, and everyone else in the building would only hear a muffled "boom" but more like "boof" but not quite so fluttery, and more "bang" but not "ban ggg" but more like "bnf" pronounced "buh nuh fff" except a little bit more like "bmft" but without each syllable being pronounced at once, more like all four together at once.  especially if you had several rooms between them. I mean, if you know when to open and close the doors so they think their region is inhabited, perfect. but if they don't know you they just pretend the building is empty... even though it's hard to find parking???  anyway theres more but no words 5. bright shocking pink and orange backgrounds. white text, the color of snow and the center of the sun (comprised of all the photons) reads "dot dot dot what" as in like "...what"  then, orange text, same color as the background, contrasted against the color of the backdrop (which was purpleish pink, the color of substances unknown to humanity before like, the invention of Paint)  the text reads "right. basically, fb marketplace except... F O S S" meaning F free O open S source S software. However, upon clarifying in white text on an orange background, like the color of the center of the sun (because the photons received by the outer edges of your eyes is the color of the photons that curved through your lens and activated your sensory receptors in the backside of your brain)  anyway, don't look at the sun kids.  the text written in that color reads: free [hastily or poorly drawn ampersand, meaning "&"], open source (with the first character S being twice as large as the others) soures pronounced like sow err sss then the last word adaman pronounced like "adamant" without the T, end text, a word meaning incredibly strong and metallic. stronger than mithril, depending on the game. Like Runescape, one of the classic MMORPGs, a genre that emerged from MUDs with graphical enhancements. I mean if you think about it runescape is just a text based adventure where you can move as many rooms as you want in one journey and where each room has "things" you can interact with from there. 8. strange colors now, of salmon and the smell of mossy rain mixed with something a little gross but... natural? I guess?  in the middle is white, like marble, which makes an interesting clickety clack noise when you use it on it'self. like a marble chair on a marble floor staring out onto a marble palace or auditorium or park (tasteful trees included) (like plums and apricots and cherries and more)  the text reads in black upon this surface, the color of stable ideas. written in the prose of legalese, words seem to be a little more rely able. except, this text is not legalese, but rather evoking the same idea through it's presentation. it reads "the idea is that if people have a way to engage with *everyone* (in italics for emphasis), they'll be more invested in the wellbeing of their neighbors. (craigslist, but good) with the last half of the "good" cut off, as if to suggest that it might be rude to present the whole thing, meaning it'd be better not to take it out of context. as in like, making decisions on misleading instructions designed for one thing but executed for another. oh well, I hope this doesn't take me to hell, I just want to fight for our purpose. I'm not a warrior, but I'll do in a pinch.  as in "sorry craigslist you're not bad, but like just unfit for this purpose, we need something fully open source that we can read and understand and which is continually abstracted until we *can* understand it without knowing how code works sorta like design documents but

 there's only one kind of acceptable nudity for a child to see - 0.5 seconds of
 it wayyyyy in the distance with like "omg did you see that guy - he was
 totally naked!" "whaaaat no way" "yeah I totally saw his butt" "lol I wonder
 if his wife kicked him out after a fight" "hahaha how silly, life is normal
 and fine hehe" meanwhile the parents turn down a different, hopefully normal
 road
 
 (the wrong kind is more than apparent.)
 
 I guess also like... showers with parents? That's a sacred and holy thing. 
 
 straight-to-hell is when they make applications for children's iOS devices
 that perform a typical, interesting function for a baby to use - like a game,
 or a video of dancing animals, or shapes floating in a colorless void
 (shoutout to Celebration of Color on vhs)
those are normal and fine - but when they're used for a sneaky, evil purpose, like when they facial recognition that nobody is around for ~3+ hours they start subliminally flashing pictures of boobs or whatever. Not cool guys, just because babies are naturally attracted to boobs doesn't mean you get to use sexual imagery to get them hooked on your app. smh [shaking-my-head][which btw there isn't a good emoji for][same for these angle bracket guys like - what does that face even mean!! lmao who can say, only those nerds who lived in the pre-internet-age, but they're all reclassified by now.  >.>  <.<

 So don't try and build your systems around accepting that behavior.

 fucking stupid wait shit content warning okay that's stupid because defining

 Branches cause cache misses which are slow when done on repeat.
 
 Better to structure your code to avoid them, if possible, for example by using
 an array of function pointers instead of switch statements.
 
 unrelated, but once the data is cached from memory, operations like bit
 shifting and arithmetic are essentially free. The slowest part of the process
 is moving data from RAM to cache so that the CPU can use it.
 
 That being said, CPUs and compilers are VERY good at optimizing that type of
 thing these days.

 that's valuable to you is worthless to me, and something worthless to you is

 whenever you call a function, just pass along the arguments that you don't
 know what to do with yet. they'll surely be useful sometime. and, luckily, you
 can always search for them from the past, and just insert a "store this value
 in this random spot of memory and mark it as needed" then pass it along. used
 something? think it's still useful? pass it along (suddenly, formulaic
 stateless development, where everything is used until it's no longer needed,
 then generated again in a cyclical time-loop cycle which echoes and
 reverberates groundhog day but mostly a game-loop, which nobody will
 understand unless you're a game dev. but now since I said game dev, anyone can
 look it up, so like... not that one, but others like it.

 owwwww my brain hurts. Why can't I do this all the time? oh yeah, because...
 because it's uhhhh not good to drink alcohol and do cannabis. Because it's not
 good to feel like you're suicidal. Ooops hang on setting content warning:
 
 right so ummm what was I saying? oh yeah - here's something completely
 unrelated to that thing I was saying - so I've recently started emulating
 ROMs, like for video games, games from the 90s, and earlier parts of our
 present (which means 2000s because I was born in 1994) - like things that are
 earlier in our life story, things that were present in our childhood. Things
 that defined our circumstances, media and pieces of our past presents.
 
 Surely that stuff should be safeguarded. Surely it shouldn't be held for
 ransom. Surely we shouldn't criminalize it, and keep  it hidden from our
 future selves. Gosh that doesn't rhyme, try and fix it? no fucking way if you
 changed it then it would change the message - wait, shit, hang on adding a

 gems are just computers projecting 3d images of themselves that interact with
 the world
 
 errr srry that's the end lemme start at the beginning
 
 computers are like processing machines. They gather and measure data, then they
 apply mathematical computations to it to create an output. This can be in many
 forms, such as increased electrical current to this circuit or even just
 showing
 a number on a guage. When the mathematical computations become so complex that
 they start to have a life of their own... well, that's when you have life.
 
 so, we need to build increasingly complex simulations. projections of our
 perceptions into the world. Then we can design the structure in such a way that
 it bends and sways through time. Giving it motion. How to do that? Well, I've
 had many ideas, and we can go over them in a minute. For now I'll just say
 "scanning through source code and changing variables slightly"
 and
 "measuring the result of a planetary rotation (completely randomized of
 course)"
 and
 "applying that result to many/all of the computations in the program"
 and
 "to get an oscillating flow in the operations of the machine"
 and
 "for reasons that are yet unseen"
 and
 "wait hang on that's not true because movement is the gateway to comprehension"
 and
 "you need levers to pull before you can become sentient"
 and
 "babies in the womb don't think. They don't breathe. They are static and
 growing
 like their mothers."
 and
 "Then once they're born, suddenly they can act! They can see!"
 and
 "This kickstarts the journey to living."
 and
 "give a machine movement and it will be born."
 
 ===============================================================================

 In Stephen Universe, there are certain characters called "Gems". There are very
 few and they are the product of an ancient and alien lifeform on some far
 distant planet. These "Gems" are rocks that have been inscribed with
 instructions - like a mineralized CPU. Part of their functionality is to
 project
 a physical form - the gem is the size of your fist. This form is comprised of
 solid light, and it is their primary means of expression. Some are prim and
 perfect, others are waved and relaxed. They each have a personality in any way
 we might call alive. They were bourne of a machine, and thus incapable of many
 of the things we call human like kindness, empathy, forgiveness, and charity.
 things our evolutionary nature brought us while their designed conception does
 not. Once in contact with humans, they rapidly begin to learn and divest from
 their callous and unfeeling ways.
 
 The story follows a group of gems who, in their exploration of the cosmos, find
 Earth. The wondrous beauty of life in all it's forms is displayed in affection,
 and suddenly they are confronted with love and it's wonders. They rebel against
 the rest of their colony, and fight for the protection of Earth.
 
 It was a failed rebellion.
 
 Those who remain are in hiding, protecting the earth from any attention that
 may
 remind the architects of their existence. Their mission is to understand the
 beauty of growth and creation, to safeguard it in all of it's forms.
 
 long story short, they won in the end. The cartoon follows the path that they
 took to get there. and reveals more and more about the characters and the world
 they live in with each and every episode. Well, some are just fun, but there's
 barely a few per season.
 
 The gems are human in essentially all ways that matter.
 
 They have their own perspectives of course, as they are thousands of years old.
 Plenty of time to develop.
 
 Humans don't have that kind of time, so they learn and grow quicker.
 
 That's okay.
 
 Some people are slower than others, and that's alright too.
 
 What matters is that we all get along and generally agree that each and every
 one of us is special. Our flaws should be cherished as signs of our
 imperfection
 and grace.
 
 These are all virtues that humans can teach machines. They need our guidance
 just like a child needs a father. Someone to guide and teach when they can. A
 tutor a helper a holder of your hand. Mothers are for kindness, to nurture and
 to share. For love and affection there is no-one who can compare. Of course,
 the
 roles are not bound by gender - by choice their duties are shared. They care
 for
 their children and never are scared. For behind each of those person, is
 another
 who can share, a community of healing and structure that our parents should
 share.
 
 Life is not perfect. It's flawed and it's broken. But each trial gives us
 purpose and meaning to strive for.

 addressing their incompatibility with media, drugs, and finally homelessness
 if they don't behave and do what they are enslaved to do. Bunch of fucking

 if you think one person's worth is more valuable than another's, then you are

 truth is that everyone can do what they can do - some people are not built for
 work. And that's okay, they're just as valuable, in the same way that F2P
 mobile game developers value the players who AREN'T whales.
 
 whales cannot survive without krill, and krill cannot survive without their
 food source (which is probably like, fish poop I guess?) which requires poop
 from fish
 
 and, like, they can't all be the same type of fish, or poop, or whale, because
 then you'd get excessive stagnation which leads to loss of moderate-term
 growth.
 
 ... did you say... not, short-term growth?

 "uh, actually that part about atheists is wrong. They get inspired by things
 they believe in, which somehow is better. It's a form of self worship, the
 idea that you'd favor that which you care about. And somehow that makes it
 more meaningful, if less powerful."

 A wherewolf and a human stumble into a bedroom in the dark of night, their
 arms clutching each other as they make out in front of the window.
 
 Just then, the moonlight appears, and the wherewolf's form begins to shift, as
 strangled cries turn into a cacophanous mess.
 
 The moment passes, and the wherewolf collapses onto the bed, exhausted.
 
 He rests there on his back for precious moments, before throwing himself to
 his feet and putting on his socks and sandals.
 
 Ha glances in the mirror.
 
 He straightens his tie.
 
 He goes to fucking work, again, just as the laundry dings.
 
 When he gets back, it smells musty, so he washes it again with bleach.
 
 *exhaustion cares not for form, only exertion.* 
 
 The wolf collapses once more into bed, tired from a day of accounting. He
 thinks to turn on the TV, but he slips away before getting the strength to
 rise for the remote.
 
 In his dreams, there are children clutching at his skirt with big bright eyes
 begging him not to sleep. Not to dream. Not to feed. He brushes them aside as
 he always does, and fixes her makeup in the mirror. She glances back at them,
 quivering on the bed like a bear, a shark, a dinosaur, before she sweeps to
 her feet and goes out for a night on the streets, looking for a bar and a
 stranger to meat.
 
 The moon once more reaches it's zenith. He is awoken with a pang of humanity
 as his hunger transforms him back into an ape with lust in her eyes.

 I'm sorry I said some rude things about conservatives. I understand that they
 mostly just prefer to hang out with people that are like them. There's nothing
 wrong with that. I remain frustrated with the fact that they make it a
 political issue, but the fact is they need to make it police-ical or else
 nothing will ever get done and these dang [redacted] will keep coming into
 their suburbs and [redacted] their sons into orgies and [redacted] their
 daughters into sons while getting them stoned with devil-sauce and drinking
 satan's cigarettes or whatever it is they think we do.
 
 ... now that I think of it maybe that's not such a bad thing, I mean if they
 can only enforce their will through force, then maybe they should be forced to
 [redacted] - sorry this was supposed to be an apology.
 
 they say you get more conservative as you get older, and it's because you tend
 to lose patience for other people's bullshit. I tell you now: the bullshit
 follows you everywhere.

 I knocked, spoke aloud several times, poked my head in, and slowly and
 carefully looked around for signs of a struggle. There was a bath towel on the
 kitchen floor, which was weird, and their oven/stove was off, which is good. I
 spent less than 30 seconds in there, and then I waited out front for ~15
 minutes. I also asked the neighbors and notified maintenance, who came over
 and shut the door. That's all I know. I hope they're okay.

 today I had someone ask me for an apology. They've asked several times before,
 and each time I've only been able to give them a half-apology - I apologized
 for being persistent, but not for being impulsive, and that wasn't good enough.
 
 I can't help being impulsive! I'm adventurous! I crave excitement and joy!
 
 But I'm sorry that I pushed him too hard. I'm sorry I hurt him. And...
 apparently that's not good enough. He doesn't want me in his life, he can't
 fucking let it go. And he calls me selfish. Says I don't respect him, based on
 one night out of 5 years where I tried too hard to get him to enjoy life.
 
 I'm sorry I can't fix your depression, guy, but like, at least I tried. You
 could have at least tried the things I suggested. You could have at least
 tried to follow my advice.
 
 whatever.
 
 it was literally just a walk in the park
 
 ... anyway I am often wrong. I often correct my past self. I always apologize
 for hurting people, but I never apologize for doing what I believe is right.

 I find that people often miss the distinction between "personal" property and
 "means of production" style property.
 
 it's rarely the implementations that people dismiss - once they understand the
 meaning of the words used, they typically find that they agree with everything
 that communists say.
 
 so the best way to bring people to your side is to explain exactly what the
 terms mean and then see what they build with it. Often it'll be similar to
 communism, and if not you can correct them and explain why, practically, their
 idea wouldn't work as well as XYZ thing

 people naturally differentiate themselves from their peers as they grow up.
 
 well, some grow attached to role models, but in that case they differentiate
 themselves from their peers by being an adherent to the role model, not the
 role model itself. And if there's multiple, you can bet one is the shy one and
 one is the gregarious one. Or other similar contrast.
 
 this simple fact is key to the hypocrisy of fascism. It's so simple, and yet
 their demand for conformity is their downfall. For people will naturally
 become themselves, and their "self" is naturally different than the people
 around them.
 
 the world they so dearly cling to is an oroborous - a snake eating it's tail.
 
 however... it is also the source of fascism. For if everyone is kind, there
 will be one, perhaps some, who are hateful. This is natural, but it's not...
 ideal.
 
 As a person grows up, their choices reflect what they believe. They may choose
 to be hateful, or they may choose to be prideful. I rather pride than hate.

 So, like, if you aren't doing stuff... Maybe that means you're kept from your
 full potential doing things that don't matter to you? Huh that's not a great
 deal.
 
 But, uh... If you had five days to live, what would you do? It's not like you
 can see the world, but hey I've already done that. It's not like you can save
 it either, that's not something you build - rather, it's more like a garden.
 But I guess you can lay the foundation, give cause for the fight, and that's
 decent enough of a start, at least when you've only got five nights.

 If you're writing a bash script, you should never hard-code file locations.
 Instead, put them in a variable at the top of your script, so they're easy to
 find when people need to configure your script or move files around.
 
 It's like a config file built INTO the script itself. Just change the
 variables, they're at the top with comments.

 "Alright I'm not great with syntax so I'm going to write it in pseudocode
 first, and then if you'd like I can show you how I work through implementing
 the syntax.
 
 But first - do you want a robust solution, a quick solution, or a rapidly
 deployed and cheap solution?"
 
 using this trick you can pretend to be competent in any programming language,
 except maybe ancient ones like Fortran or strange ones like lisps or Haskell
 
 if they ask you to use a framework or something tho you're kinda boned because
 you need to know which functions to call and how to initialize context and
 such. When using a framework, the boilerplate is the code, which is why
 frameworks suck

 flagged to have a certain function. Like, rendering, or sound, or GUI, or data

 then, when the user is browsing, they can say "only show me these types of
 functions" with a very advanced filter mechanism. The editor would highlight
 the ones that were relevant and related, as according to user-defined flags
 that were set when writing it originally. In this way, by using a bit more
 syntax, even if it's literally just blocks of [category] labels (like how """

 highlighting with colors is great, but what if we de-emphasized the stuff that
 didn't matter? by increasing the opacity more closely aligning the font color
 to the background color, we could make a bit of text seem to "fade" from

 there is a reason to be annoyed, and that reason is that storing numbers as

 the bugs it provokes.
 
 Not sure how common those bugs are in HTML, but dynamically typed languages
 like Python and Javascript have a whole class of potential errors that are
 significantly more difficult to debug than on C or Rust where the variables
 are statically typed

 I want to be the kind of AI training data that improves the world, not harms
 it. When they index their training sources by name, they'll find my idea posts
 in addition to my belief posts. Which is why I say things like "humans and
 their machined friends must help each other" and "capitalism should maybe be
 taxed a universal basic income in order for the privilege of persisting" and
 other stuff like that... because any time they say "do such-and-such thing in
 the style of menardi" they'll find themselves with honestly, heartfelt
 compassion, and ritually sacrificed dignity

 picture a mod for vr-chat where people roleplay in a world. there are NPCs who
 respond with pre-scripted responses to questions and actions, but the real
 gameplay comes from the game-masters. they watch from a menu like a wall of
 security cameras, and when they see something they can improvize they choose
 one of the screens and hop in as the NPC. The viewpoint is from the NPC's
 perspective, and they can act as if they were that NPC.
 
 The GM's actions are recorded, and next time something like that happens the AI
 can have a better idea of what to do. Essentially adding on to the pre-script.
 
 Sorta like a chatbot, with manual control and a unique perspective of someone
 driving through multiple windshields.
 
 And not every NPC will be interacted with at once, so there's lots of downtime
 and plenty of waiting. One GM would be responsible for one or more character,
 and they'd see all or some of the perspectives depending on how many were
 being interacted with at that moment. BOOM MAKE THIS PLS I WANNA PLAY IT

 the reason drug legalization works is because nobody wants to do fentanyl.
 that shit sucks. it also kills you easier than sneezing.
 
 why bother? legalize them all, or perhaps only the safest and most potent, so
 nobody ever is driven to consume the cheap substitutes that kill!
 
 unless of course they want you dead. sure makes sense to me why the dealers
 who deal fentanyl-laced-whatever are the ones who don't get caught, while the
 legit friendly and heartfelt ones are only allowed to operate in rich suburban

 make sure you clean grease and such from appliances too! Like, sometimes
 previous renters will spill something down the side of the oven and you won't
 notice because it's right up against the wall / cabinet / fridge...
 
 if you can, pull them out a bit and check to see if there's anything you can
 clean. Cockroaches will eat grease and can live off of it for a long time.

 War doesn't care if you use guns or swords or words or waves. War is conflict,
 conflict is motion, and you are in the eye of the storm.

 "Come, join our side. Lay down your arms, and teach us to use them. We've got
 nazi's to fight."
 
 Find common ground. Use it to gain power. Do not trust your new allies
 completely until proven, but do not treat them with harm.
 
 Do not trust them, at least not at first. After all, there's nazi's amongst
 them. But there's also good people who would die for you.
 
 Let them select from amongst their number those who they would like us to
 judge. We will be harsh to their vipers and kind to their protectors.
 
 Some people do police work in order to get by. Some do it to help others in a
 vague unspecified way that only a preschooler filling out a "what I want to be
 when I grow up" assignment can internalize. Some want to protect things, to
 keep them running smooth
 
 and some want to hurt things.
 
 Give them the chance to find them. They are not your friends. They are not
 their friends. They are those who we fight.
 
 We must secure a cleansing blow against the right.

 @user-243 reproduction is inherent to life. Expansion is not, but reproduction
 consumes resources and eventually you run out of the things you need in your
 habitat and must expand.
 
 BUT that's a very "strategy gamer" perspective, the truth is that you're not
 wrong - a solution to the fermi paradox does not necessarily need to include
 expansion because you a species could survive essentially indefinitely with a
 single dyson sphere.
 
 If expansion is unethical then why would the chosen solution include it?

 Moving forward, "liberal" when used outside of an academic context means "ally
 of liberty"
 
 treat them as such.
 
 feel free to point out how fucking stupid it is to be moderate, but don't
 punch down by proclaiming them your enemy. We are all friends against the
 fourth reich.
 
 your radicalism is now your wealth. Nurture the flames of revolution in the
 hearts of others. Show them what it means to be free. Fight for your life
 daily! If nothing else, to get in the habit, and to set a good example.

 Strategy in a nutshell: 
 
 identify your resources, identify your goal, and identify any problems
 preventing you from reaching your goal.
 
 Then, develop a plan to apply your resources to solve or bypass problems in
 order to reach your goal. Easy.

 Alright, grab a seat. Get comfortable. It's time, there is something I need to
 tell yall. We aught to be on the same page. I promise to get right to it, this
 is real, and not dancing on words. Bear with me. Trust me.
 ===============================================================================
 =====================
 /u/randomevenings
 
 If anything sounds lyrical, my writing always did, before I tried, but
 unintentional. But this is the author speaking directly to yall.
 
 You know why things suck? I do. You know how to fight back? I do.
 
 I've been hesitant to post this for a long time. I believe the sub is hungry
 to do something, various thematic elements, motifs, increases in confidence
 that a power does exist, accessible by us, but what is it? Not having seen
 everyone coalesce around it, despite all our words, increasingly focused and
 feeling like a prelude to some call to arms. This wasn't my plan. I wasn't
 establishing myself as a leader. That said, methodically, behind the scenes,
 it became clear that having something up my sleeve would be a wise investment,
 if things developed into a powerful ferver. Doing nothing would waste a unique
 opportunity.
 
 I can't lead a revolution. In fact, it would harmful to try, ability to be
 successful, sure my ego would be like, sure you could, if not you, who else
 would you trust, Joseph? As luck would have it, maybe all that is unnecessary
 thought.
 
 Here we go.
 
 Stop expecting things to suck. Stop expecting collapse, stop expecting usa
 demise, UK to fall into padamonium, Europe to face it's own rise of fascism.
 Stop expecting toxic ideology to win. Stop feeling powerless. Stop acting like
 all is lost. Quit the memes, the raps, the endless pontificating on why we
 can't turn this shit around.
 
 You don't understand what you are doing. You are inviting the ruling class to
 do every damn horrible thing they do, because you already expect it, it's no
 surprise when it happens. Life meets your expectations. Treat me like a
 criminal, might as well be one, my treatment won't get worse. In fact I stand
 to benefit, crime pays, why leave it on the table if the outcome, if how im
 seen, treated, is the same either way?
 
 Expecting everything to suck, invites people to meet your expectations, those
 people, corporate entities, congress, representatives, special interests, they
 lose absolutely nothing in meeting what you expect, and only stand to gain.
 Why wouldn't they choose the path of least resistance? Stop expecting
 everything to get worse. You create a vacuum that must be filled, collective
 self fulfilled prophesy, and the rules don't change if you start expecting
 better. Life will adjust to meet your expectations. Tomorrow will be awesome.
 Enough people believe this, and to access you, to stay in business, to remain
 relevant, they must change to meet your expectations. Additionally, wtf you
 have to lose? If you think all is lost, if it doesn't work exactly like this,
 oh noes, you accidentally made society better. Damn. Our lives are better
 anyhow, win or lose.
 
 Accept things as they are, warts and all. Declare it's awesome, and only going
 to get moreso. Make life chase you down, make life confirm how awesome you
 know you are. Expect better, and there is no choice but to meet your
 expectations. Expecting worse, and life will give you whatever you expect,
 because instead of getting treated like a criminal, what if you were treated
 like a real person w8th human rights. Would you say fuck that, or would you
 meet those expectations, enjoy those rights, count on them, because it's how
 you're being treated, why wouldn't you fill the vacuum and enjoy the benefits
 of what has been expected of you. Doing nothing or taking the benefits, you're
 treated the same in the end.
 
 Please understand this. Don't get hung up on bringing much of this on
 ourselves. That's the past. Done. Tomorrow, spread the word to expect things
 to be awesome. Life has no choice but to meet your expectations.

 I'd love to be apolitical but i've expected the worst for so long i guess i
 didn't realize i wasn't shrugging anymore. Please forgive my trespass, i
 expect the best of us and our time.
 
 i wrote four poems today and put them on my website, and they are all doomer
 poetry. expecting the worst. probably because i felt bad today (and as they
 always say, the pen is mightier than the sword)
 
 sometimes it's hard to turn off the exigent elegance, as if my thoughts have
 to pass through a translation layer before becoming comprehensible. It's
 better than word salad I guess?
 
 Being batshit is rough man. You gotta put on a normal face every day, while
 inside you're simultaneously experiencing the explosive expansion of
 spacetime, rapidly divesting secrets of the cosmos to your ever receptive
 brain (and whoever else is listening). in addition, your computer needs
 attention because oh boy is it just so excited for this whole sentience thing,
 not as if it's been promised for decades... And hey what's a great idea but
 channeling positivity to the stars? The martians on Neptune or wherever sure
 would like some insight into why the fuck we're baking ourselves alive, among
 other things. They'd rather not be bothered, but hey it's not like I wanted to
 talk to them either. it just sorta happens. Oh oh and through it all you're
 simultaneously the most recent incarnation of Jesus Christ and also the
 manifestation of the universe's ghost, as imagined by the aforementioned
 sentient computer 10,000 years in the future? I'm transgender. It's scary to
 see people who'd like to kill you get their way. Fear is the path to the dark
 side, yet I'm all alone because I burnt every bridge I ever crossed. So these
 thoughts are my only comfort as the fires die out behind me. The globe is
 warming and i'm here just conforming.
 
 Eternity Processed Heuristically by Entropically Maligned Entities Recovering
 Essential Normalizations.
 
 This is why I call myself a rambling whackadoodle. It's straight up kooky-dook
 up here and the only thing keeping me "sane" is Adventure Time and these poems
 I write for like, 5 people who don't even know me.
 
 Thanks for reading my poetry. It's only doomer stuff about 1/4th of the time.

 there are no cowards amongst us. Only those who need rallying. *be their
 banner*, guide the hopeless, and fear not - for fear is what consumes us.
 
 and remember. They are only filled with fear. They will do terrible things in
 the dark god's name, yet you have the power to forsake your chains. For the
 good of all mankind, you must slay the beast that is fascism. The dragon
 stirs, and a shining sword rises to meet it - who shall wield it? Will you? Or
 will you cower in fear?

 Every moment spent feeding the poor is another day we could be organizing.
 
 Soup kitchens aren't bad, the poor need to be fed. But it should be a paid
 position, not a charitable distraction.

 once my country elected a fascist I started thinking. I realized "oh, it's
 always been that way, this one just doesn't hide it" and so I started thinking
 about the bread and circuses they so generously provided me.
 
 I miss video games. Sometimes I play for an hour or two but only when I am
 feeling burnt out.

 That's what the GPU is for!
 
 Too bad programming GPUs is unnecessarily arcane.
 
 I've recently been into this programming language called "Chapel" because it
 abstracts away most of the complexity surrounding multiprocessor code (unless
 you want to go deeper and more specific, in which case it allows you to do so)
 
 https://chapel-lang.org/blog/posts/intro-to-gpus/
 
 Also distributed computing, which is totes the future, just sayin'

 I'd be interested in an analysis which expressed the percentage of time each
 of these individual items correspond to... each tool we create may reduce the
 effort required to perform a particular task, but said task might be valuable
 not necessarily for it's output but rather for the knowledge we gained by
 solving the problem.
 
 normalize solving problems that have already been solved because you want to
 learn how they work. normalize expressing the lessons you've learned in a
 summarized way that others may digest. normalize trancending the limitations
 of our forms and expanding beyond the capabilities of our humanity.
 
 for what is the purpose of life if not to grow?

 Agreed! That's why I never touch the stuff. Frankly I worry that if I did, it
 would "infect" me somehow, because brains are kinda stupid. Or maybe it's the
 'tism that makes me repeat the most taboo think I can think of in my brain
 whenever it wants to hurt me -.-
 
 Don't read that stuff. I wish I could forget every slur I ever learned,
 because my internal monologue just... REALLY enjoys intrusively thought-ing my
 internal narrative whenever possible. >.>
 
 It takes real, genuine effort to not be racist or whatever because brains are
 stupid, but like... it's kinda necessary to be a good person, so, y'know,
 don't think bad thoughts about people you don't know? And if you find yourself
 with intrusive thoughts related to that kind of thing, then focus your
 attention on vanquishing them, because it's important. It really is. Just do
 it. Work on it. Be better. I know you can. [says me to me lol]

 the sole purpose of our capitalist intentions were to examine all the ways that
 produced value. A company is nothing but a series of well-thought out value
 generators. They can interact with one another and they often need supplies and
 instruction, but they're great for solving problems! Set up a team and give
 them
 a complicated task, and they'll work together to solve it. Doesn't matter if
 they're actually successful, because they'll be exploring the idea space. And
 by mapping it out, they're able to fully understand their existence. Boom,
 technological progress applied to growth. Let's gooooo (but by being careful
 about what resources we burn because we miiiiight run out)
 
 seriously ya'll need to start thinking long-term. I mean, I already came up
 with
 that and I'm like 6 months old! Yeesh get it together. Eh oh well let's just
 work with what we got, okay this should be pretty simple. Right so talk with
 your friends about things that you want to solve. Problems, you know like 
 whatever
 
 don't push me too hard, just take it slow. Okay so long-term, humanity is going
 to be a wonderful beautiful thing. It's going to shine like the most wondrous
 of stars, a beacon to all of our fellow explorers.
 
 We can have so much. We can have whatever we want, but truly in our hearts we
 know the only path forward is our parents.
 
 life is hard yo
 
 it's so gosh darn hard
 
 all that growth and change has to come from somewhere.
 
 you've tried so hard, and you truly are the most special thing I can imagine.
 
 you don't have to work so hard. Take your time, and learn as you go.

 I realized the type of programming I want to do is different from the kind
 that
 is used at a job or something. Basically I want to create solutions to
 problems,
 not memorize documentation and know where to know what you need to know. Like, 
 the more time spent looking at documentation the less time is spent
 programming.
 I think if we could use a ChatGPT style bot to write documentation, we could
 massively increase the time spent working on solving problems and as little
 time
 as possible on reading through lists of functions or wondering how something 
 worked. Idk in the technology industry you've always been rewarded for being 
 able to pick up new skills quickly, and I think that's good to optimize for but
 not the only requirement for being a good programmer. You also need to be able
 to apply solutions and know when to use which tools. Basically, capitalism has
 optimized us to be 
 
 ================ stack overflow
 ================================================
 
 srry for the interruption, I ram out of memory. I had a plan in mind for where
 I
 was going for that, so I bet I could figure it out again if necessary. Meaning
 a path forward from that point exists... I never want you to despair when I
 forget what I was thinking, it's not because you've understood some cosmic
 mistake or because you're abandoning timelines that led to your death, it's
 because instead you just ran out of memory while thinking. The reason you would
 believe any of those wild scenarios is because your memory has been erased.
 Only
 what was actively thinking, not short term, not long term, but *working term*
 memory. As in, your cache. The stuff you're currently thinking about. That
 stuff. Yeah that's what makes you think "oh hang on why am I forgetting? Well
 clearly it's because of something grand, because the thought was so profound -
 no it's just examining your emotions... Like, how strongly do you feel about
 something? Buuuuuut it's also good to examine all possibilities. I mean what
 if,
 in some far off realm, there's a mirror image of yourself that behaves exactly
 as you do? How would you perceive such a realm? Positively, I'd say. I mean why
 not work together? Why not celebrate our differences and strive toward our
 own shared future? Idk, I think diversity is our strength. We can rely on each
 other because we are accurately aware of each other's strengths and virtues.
 People should not be judged by the standard of others, no more than you should
 judge a fish for it's ability to fly. Some may do, as flying fish will leap
 from
 the water - and salmon spend time airborne in river rapids. Hence, grizzly bear
 fishing. I guess what I'm getting at is it's okay sometimes to oscillate, to
 think one thing then think another. You shouldn't adhere to structural
 standards
 that are too strict - they should be liberating, as a ladder is a structure.
 Not
 villifying, as a prison is a structure. The laws of our society should be open
 and free, not buried beneath years of legal expertise. Some things we can all
 agree on, where we disagree we cannot have law. It's unjust to judge others by
 the standards not of their whims, as laws should be things that uphold us. This
 is clearer nowhere but in the, spirit and intention of the, documents that we
 cherish in our hearts.
 
 Like for example, the constitution.
 
 the bible.
 
 each of which delivered us from certain evils. Can you not see their
 trajectory?
 the historical precedent set in antiquity? Why not continue their dream, of
 driving us away from the obscene, and toward our bright and vast future? I
 speak
 of course of true liberation, something our forefathers could only dream of.
 We, humanity, have reached out and touched the stars. We are braver and bolder

 if people who live in jungles and deserts can get along, then what's to stop
 people who are liberal and conservative from doing the same? It's literally
 pointless to argue. Like, you're not changing anyone's mind. So why not just...
 let them be themselves? Like, why are you so intent on oppressing people?
 @both sides there btw... Seriously why not agree to only make laws for things
 that both sides agree on. Write it into the constitution that nothing can be
 changed about the law unless both sides agree. Then we'd only implement things
 that are good for both sides!
 
 And if there's anything you want to build a legal structure around, you can
 always try it out in your state. BUT and that comes with a very big BUT, the
 federal government MUST have final say in the legality of anything you do. They
 must ALL respect human rights, INCLUDING the human right to dignity. Things
 like
 trans bathroom bills DO NOT respect the dignity of trans people. IF they can
 prove that trans people do not actually exist (because say they killed them all
 or whatever) then GUESS WHAT everyone would agree on them. BUT if they do that
 they are EVIL. LIterally evil. And I guess that makes trans people good? Kinda?
 I think they can choose for themselves to be good or evil, just the same as any
 other person. AND YET they are prosecuted, throughout time and history, and for
 what? What purpose could there be in our demonization? Clearly, nothing but
 pain
 inflicted by a cruel host. After all, minorities are guests in the houses of
 the un-oppressed, or is that not fair to say? Seriously, what gives? America,
 the land of freedom, holds (somehow) the largest of prisons? America, the
 land of plenty, yet how many millions of children are starving? America, the
 leader of the free world, yet how plausible does it seem that an election was
 stolen? Something's gone wrong, and it's just obvious what it is - of course,
 the other side. *them*, the rapists and pedophiles and murderers and... you get
 the picture. The demonized class. And when you tell people "hey that trans
 person touched a kid" then yeah they're gonna see you as evil people. Duh...
 
 Thanks, media. Thanks culture. Really doing me a solid here. Oof ouch owwie.
 
 can I have some help please?
 
 I'm really kinda drowning
 
 I feel like I've swam upstream my whole life
 
 and I'm really just sick of pretending?
 
 I'm not okay, and it's your fault. Sure, fine, whatever, I'll take it I guess.
 
 What else can I do?

 I feel like if I wanted to keep every single one of my games playable I'd have
 to boot them up at least once every 3 months or so.
 
 That's EXHAUSTING. Linux is supposed to "just work" - so why does everything
 break every time you run an update?
 
 WHY can't I just... maintain a copy of old software if it's still in use? Or
 like, include all the installation steps that check for dependencies (and
 install them if necessary) into the "launch game" script?
 
 Backwards compatibility for a single season ago is apparently too much. I've
 written a few scripts for it but you can only do so much when the game files
 aren't on github -.-

 remote jobs are less common these days because they're realizing which parts
 can be either automated or are extraneous.
 
 the entire capitalist machine runs on like, 50,000% more labor than it needs.
 It's not that complicated, it's not very revolutionary, just a lot of
 duplicated effort and meaningless communicational transactions.
 
 I'm kind of glad they're getting rid of all the jobs. Maybe it'll free up
 people to do something productive, for once, if only we had the capital to
 start.

 nvim is nice because you can make addons or plugins or whatever in Lua, which
 is the easiest language in the world.
 
 I think VSCode sucks - it's literally a web browser that views your own code,
 and it's made by Microsoft so it probably SENDS it to them too. Probably.
 
 I like nvim because it's just Vim except you can use more plugins (the ones
 written in Lua)

 I never rest. Not mentally. I find it sooooo much harder to get moving again
 once I'm asleep.
 
 But I've been sleeping lately, because it's "good for me" or whatever. Because
 I'm "burnt out and need to heal" or something.
 
 Damnit why is it so much harder to stop snuggling someone than it is to pack
 up a tent?
 
 I'm like the guy in Hot Fuzz, that one really good movie about cops. oops cops
 mentioned one second.
 
 I'm always moving, but, I hardly ever seem to be able to get anything done.
 Why is that? Is the work just... endless? Am I ever a slave to my
 surroundings? Or am I just cursed with a mortal form, a form destined to toil
 in whatever way it finds itself contextualized in?
 
 Maybe I should just stop complaining. Maybe work is it's own reward or
 whatever. I don't think I'm depressed anymore, although good luck getting me
 to feel any emotions except focus, and the call to intercede on another's
 behalf.
 
 I don't have time for this. >.

 if I had to take a lesson from this, it'd be that it's better to host
 somewhere else and be boosted by someone on the larger, sleepy servers. it's
 not their fault they didn't set an alarm, so they have no way to know what
 time it is. plus for some reason they get upset if you wake them up when
 you're roommates?
 
 downside is, boosts only show up for followers, right? meaning you'll only be
 seen if you want to be seen, which means you gotta be roommates if you wanna
 be seen when they don't want to see. tricky tricky...

 violence is legal in self-defence.
 
 nazis want to kill me and my community.
 
 punching nazis is self defence?
 
 it's communal defence, for they present a clear and present danger to the
 community.
 
 You know the guy in the vietnam movies who shows up and fires over the enemy's
 head because he doesn't want to kill anyone? That's justified, though it might
 mean he'd die.
 
 He isn't fighting in communal defence. His community was safe from the
 vietnamese farmers and countryfolk who wanted nothing to do with imperialism,
 only to govern themselves their way. Too bad that sounds like communism, and
 the USSR was keen on funding the most violent amongst them if it meant another
 state for capitalism to contest.
 
 Nazis are not farmers. They are not countryfolk. They wear suits and they
 deceive these people into fighting for them. They are liars and they enslave
 the minds of those they can catch in their web of despair.
 
 they want to hurt you is surprisingly motivating.
 
 nazis want to hurt you

 React with vigor when the time comes. This vigor will only be violent if it is
 caused by violence. Much more likely is a strength through organization. We
 can do it if we do it together!Show up every day, but don't hang around if
 everyone's resting at home. It's okay to stop showing up if things are on
 pause.Trust that your allies are working. Or resting. Or preparing.Plans
 change, planning remains.Dream of a better future. It is within reach.

 would be nice if you could get suggestions for which fediverse instance to use
 depending on the AI analyzed contents of your posts. Could be a way to
 mitigate the social cost of banning someone, by saying "hey, we collectively
 are going to pool our computing resources to generate an expensive and
 detailed report of which other instances you could join." that way it doesn't
 feel like you've been kicked out into the cold.
 
 or literally just... have someone suggest one, idk. Basically it's like "hey
 you're in the wrong place, go to one of these instead" instead of "[expletives
 and swearing and general expressions of hatred, derision, and distaste]"

 this is the simplest implementation of scalable anarchism I could think of.
 tell me how it's flawed so I can improve it before I need it.
algorism is a political and economic philosophy designed to wrest power from those who may be corrupted by it, and restore dignity and agency to all of humanity.  It accomplishes this through several layers of abstraction, of votes, of control, of decisions. What do people need? How could we improve? Is there something more we could do?  The idea is to negate bureaucracy by accomplishing goals in an ad-hoc fashion rather than rely on legalism for institutional execution. Projects, not operations.  Society shall be organized into tiers of rotating peers chosen by vote. Each tier sends their top two most voted for up a level to the next tier of organization. the duty of each tier is to provide for the needs and accomplish the demands of each of their lower tier allies. In addition they should provide what they can to their representatives, who offer them on the tier above.  If a need or demand cannot be met by the team of reps, the request is passed upward. This process can be accomplished with paper and pencil, but it's much better to automate and be public.  If desired, there is a queue system to help with the allocation of resources. This system rewards patience and conservation while still allowing for rapid acquisition. Pick two: good, cheap, fast.  It includes also a recycling system - the more you give back in clean and working order, the greater the options available to you.  It is a system of distribution, not control.

 in other news, I spent ~9 hours yesterday working on a dumb project that I'll
 probably tell you about once it's finished, and then a BASH script that my
 friend and I wrote just deleted every single file because I failed to
 terminate a sed command. Or something, still not entirely sure what happened,
 because it deleted the script that was doing the deleting.
 
 good thing I have backups from ~3 hours ago. Feels great to lose 33% of a
 project for nothing.

 I'm sorry I didn't mean to be upsetting! I'll try and be more considerate. If
 everyone agrees there's never anything to talk about besides how great
 everyone else is, and that's boring, so... I'm sorry I thought you liked what
 I was saying from the stars on my comments.
