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

when you run out of an ingredient you use often (like butter, seasoning, or
flour) put the container by your shoes.
then, when you go to the store, look through all the empty containers and make
a mental list.
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.

if you save one of the biggest kind of can that you regularly use, you can put
the lids of other cans in it. Just, layer them, one by one, until the can is
full. Then you can bend the edges to "seal" it shut, and tada! Now you have a
solid hunk of piece of metal that can be saved and melted down if you ever
need it.
Saving cans is inefficient for space, but the lids can do if you just want a
little bit on hand.
It's not like it goes bad, and what's one can's worth of storage space in your
pantry? Depends on the size of your pantry I guess.

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...

ah, but that'd make for a pretty boring life, wouldn't it? perhaps, depending
on your personality type.
but you're not one to stick around doing nothing but eating, drinking, and

no, you're an adventurer, you crave excitement and glory. whatever that means

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.

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.

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

want to prolong battery life?
put a warning whenever the phone has lost 100% charge that "fully discharging
the battery can reduce long-term storage capacity!" and most people won't read
it. But those that do will tell their friends about it, when their friends
inevitably complain about bad battery life - "you know you can just... not run
out of battery, that way it doesn't break" and suddenly... wait what was I
saying - oh yeah so anyway the monarchists said to the part--riotists "yeah we
don't know how to feel about you" and they took offence at that as if the
rioter's ideas weren't justified instead of unheard.
[when I jumped to the other person's perspective I lost track because I
couldn't find my way back because they don't know me]

It's similar but it's not the saaaaame... Plus it's only one color I think.
And a lot less bright.
Maybe we can find some kind of bacteria that can be genetically engineered to
produce one type of the chemicals, and another that produces the other, so
when they interact it'll produce light indefinitely.
(what about conservation of energy?)
um... maybe make them photosynthesize or something? so you have to charge it

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.

granola bars with lots of nuts, maybe some chocolate, peanut butter, and dried

the requirements include the ability to cook it using only a rice-cooker (or

in addition, it must NOT need kneading. It must be able to be cooked passively

people want to make good decisions. In fact that's typically the only kind
that they make. The issue is they are often prevented from making those
decisions, at all, so they lose chances to control their own life.
have you ever asked for extra beverages? how about putting more salsa on your

say what you need. if everyone just wants you to be comfortable, then say what
it is that you [need, but pronounced in a way that rhymes but doesn't rhyme
the same word twice]
in Doctor Strangelove there's a scene when the soviet premier shows up at the
situation room or whatever - the one with the big board - and he is very clear
about what he needs. anyway I think about that scene a lot as a good example
of what "asking for what you need" can mean.
like. it doesn't hurt the cashier every time you buy groceries. The kid I mean

that's totally fine, a fish does not do well in a tree, and so too does a

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

I do not believe that the responsibility for a safe home can exist in a select
few. Certainly the majority is not required to sustain it, but with too few
you risk being gray-goo'd by drones uh hordes of undead or something.
Is it too much to ask that every ablebodied man and woman knows how to dress a
wound? That we all can start a fire, shoot a rifle, tie knots, and grow
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
which bore them?
If you don't know how to use a knife, how are you going to feed yourself? If
you can't do a push-up, how are you going to defend yourself? If you can't
walk for 10 miles or run for 2, then how are you going to be in the right
place at the right time?
Fighting is optional. In times of peace, it is an honorable contest between
two consenting subjects who seek to learn from one another. You must bow to
your opponent, for they are your greatest teacher.

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.

those billionaires are using their money as a weapon to "vote" toward what
companies they think capitalism would most grow from. Unfortunately for us,
they often aren't very efficient because they're only looking at what sells.
human interest is not the only factor to optimize for, and yet that's the only
one they're incentivized to.
kinda makes me think that the only reason to replace them would be to
institute something that could not be incentivized because it was more
objective or decentralized.

tell me again why goods and services are priced according to how easy they are
to make, and not by how many more of them we could make considering the
current estimated amount of resources on earth?
even wood runs out, when the phosphorous is gone. but take heart, for human
ingenuity brings with it ever-increasing capabilities for accessing new
resources. when the sun goes silent, it will not be because it burnt out, but
rather because we surrounded it with parts of our home.
and yes, it is more complicated. "how easy they are to make compared to how
much people want them while utilizing the cheapest and worst resources and
craftsmanship that can be passed of as quality by shiny marketing that appeals
to our vapid human senses" is a bit closer, but still not comprehensive.

back-track, but leave a leaf in the center of the trail at every turn. Like
breadcrumbs. If you're both backtracking you might miss one another and walk
much further than necessary. But if you're backtracking and you've left enough
leaf signs without meeting your partner, you can safely stop and wait for them
for a bit.
Nature can handle it. A leaf or five isn't that big of a deal when your safety
is on the line.
If it's windy, use a stick or a stone or something heavier
It also depends on how far apart you usually travel.
If you're in an urban area, could use a small brightly colored post-it cut
into small strips placed on a wall high-up as you can reach. Though that
requires preparation. If you can't prepare, you could use other signs that
make sense in the space around you, like a coffee cup taken from a trash-can
and placed next to it, or something. Downside is (is this really a downside?)
most people are good and so will judge you for littering but safety in
situations is important.

easily, and has to be something you work toward. but unless you relocate
yourself so they can't find you their whispers can be... incessant.
one of the perks of air and naval travel is that it's essentially impossible
for them to follow your scent, as they're simply projections upon the earth's
surface. Unless they happen to follow someone else, perhaps someone close to
you, who wanders a bit too close to land. Or maybe someone who is easily
persuaded to let them come along... OR even still, if someone (even yourself)
intentionally calls to the same one. This is why it's usually a good idea to
forgo hearing their name, if you can, or to have a bad memory like me so you
forget it immediately teehee

If you want to clean your room, try pushing everything loose into a pile in
the center. Then, sit down next to it and sort things into piles.
"here's a pen pile, here's a paper pile, here's a rubber band pile, here's a
trash pile" etc etc. Then, when you can't reach anything more or the piles are
too large, find a spot for them in the bookcase or drawer or wherever.
If you can't, then reorganize. If you still can't, then pick things to get rid
of.

If a kid wanted to drink alcohol all they'd have to do is walk into a liquor
store and grab the first bottle they saw. Then book it. Their feet would carry
them away faster than your call to 911 to report a shoplift, away to a future
of sorrow. Should we seek to restrain them? Or should we make a world they do
not desire to escape?
Trick question, the structure of society cannot prevent non-compliance. It
should not, for if it shall then it becomes ossified, and thus it cracks and
it crumbles.

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)

in the past, logistics were often carried by horses.
without the additional speed and terrain-overcoming-capability, it's difficult
to ensure a party on the march could have enough supplies of critical items
like food and water.
especially water.
natural sources can only be trusted if you're in the mountains. if the river
flows past farmland, or places with wide-open areas or forests that animals
might congregate, you're more and more likely for it to be contaminated.
dysentery kills faster than dehydration because you poop out all your
hydration.
boiling water only goes so far, eventually you'll find yourself in a desert.
hopefully at that point you can rely on car-based infrastructure to deliver
truckloads of goods. and remember - busses can ferry goods around in a city
just as well as they can carry workers. Might need to remove a seat or three,
and make sure the weight tolerances are in order. helps if you disperse it
throughout the front, middle, and back.

throughout the populace for the same effect at a decentralized scale, thus
empowering the masses to transcend their mortality.
Or better yet, task those knights with helping cats out of trees or carrying
furniture or painting the old barn or carving statues for public places or
performing great works of art in public squares or engaging in honorable
jousts (everyone's invited) or traveling abroad and learning the ways of the
world to share with their homeland.

Grocery stores should be central repositories of food that anyone can take
anything from. In addition, apartment buildings and complexes and the
entrances to suburban subdivisions could have stalls that food is delivered
to, from the grocery stores. If you want to help out you could carry food from
store->stall. The stalls would have what the residences they served listed
as things they wanted stocked, like an external pantry that was shared by the
community.
You could also place orders a day in advance and it would be provided for by
the local grocery. If you wanted an exotic good it might have a larger lead
time, in which case you could just go to a distant store that had it.

want to do drugs and gaze at the pretty dewdrops on the neighborhood well. And
that gets annoying after a while, especially once they grow useless. Sometimes
they even poop their pants! So frustrating. [... you mean humans

gotta start somewhere! and where better to start than here? someplace people
are familiar with, because "here", while not shared equally or equidistantly,
is still common enough knowledge that people can feel comfortable with some
slight, yet incredibly impactful, alterations.
... though "comfort" in the short-term isn't always the most important thing.
I do believe it can be useful sometimes. How are you going to get people to
consent to something if they don't think it helps them, and how can you show
them that it helps them if it makes them uncomfortable?

don't take on more than you can handle. if your plate is full, don't check out
the notes by the roadside. Doing so tells all the nearby drivers "hey I need a
job, anyone got anything for me?" which they'll then drop off further along
the route to your house.
if you just walk on by then nobody will notice as you head home.

different colored smoke buddies have different personalities, insights, and

cannabis is a flower which grows crystalline sap - this sap is technically a
fractal, and we don't know how deep it's complexity can be.

making a big ball of cannabinods and seeing if it roko's basilisk it's way

If none of that applies to you, don't worry. Eat something healthy, drink a

neat to say "oh yeah I remember them because it wasn't so long ago and it's
weird how they're not around these days but I forgot about them because their

cops thought "enforcing the law" was their job when really it was "keeping the

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?"

shallow conversations are hardly effective, I find. Unless they're logistical,
and then they're just passing information - they're hardly conversational.
To me, a conversation is a back-and-forth. It needs to have change, people
need to consider, to argue their ideas, to wander through thoughts, to share
emotions, and / or to resolve conflict, whether internal or external. It can
have some of those, all of those, or none of those, but that's what comes to
my mind.
So a shallow conversation wouldn't really count as "effective" for the
purposes of the original toot : )

because the underbrush is sooooo dense. they are also sitting on rocks.
you can speak to them, and share your thoughts - but you don't know exactly
where they're coming from because the sound has to bounce around off so many
different plants and such.
[that's not how that works] shut up
so, if you want to say anything important, it's important to have the right
tone, because people 2 or 3 clearings away can't really make out your words -
but they might hear your tone if you yell very loud.
the energy of the space you inhabit is the only thing that really matters. the
words that you say are just snickering to a friend, but the expression on your
