 part of me kinda wants to be the kind of nerd that writes down the names of
 every file that's permanently stored on my computer so that I can verify in my
 own handwriting or perhaps using a type of code that the files on my computer
 were placed there intentionally and not used to discredit or implicate me in
 something I had no intentions of being associated with
 
 phew idk what that means but surely it's important
 
 something something "file creation dates are just bits to be flipped"

 why would I want other people using my computer? They don't know how to use my
 computer! They might break something or mess something up or automatically
 read/edit my files that are stored in standard locations through the usage of
 a script which automagically scans and ransomwares machines on the internet
 who store their files in specific standardized locations! no thank you.

 in my resource manager
 
 like... that feels like a virus, but I'm on Linux, so what do I know right?
 it's probably not somebody deleting all my art. or perhaps just selective

 My computer has an extended password where you have to type the things that
 most people put in ~/.bashrc in order to get the system fully operational
 
 people say "why does it take half an hour to turn your computer on" because I
 keep forgetting the somatic typing components, beatrice. dear, please give me
 a moment, I'll have netflux up and running in - ... oh yes thank you, I would
 have typed netflix in wrong. that helps, and explains this error here where it
 says it can't find "netfucks"
 
 I was like... WHY ISn't this listed in the dependency repository??
 
 [hackers just clone your hard drive megabyte by megabyte every time you start
 a particular program or use a piece of the system utilities like finder or
 un-win-rar, so having a longer password won't help]
