A screenshot of a series of Fediverse posts explaining why I'm dead.  There was a fun little game that a bunch of people played called the "fedi games" which was a play on words relating to "The Hunger Games", a book series in which a group of people compete to the death.  In the Fedi Games, I'm assuming there was some kind of techno-witchery at play which analyzed all the contestants and the nature of their comments and posts and such. It then generated "events" which occurred each day as the contestants slowly fought one another leaving a single victor.  There were 16 players I think, and I got 5th place (meaning I was the fifth-to-last person to die)  Anyway, day 1 I was forced to kill someone else and it was super sad.  Day 2 I created a communal nation state  Day 3 I tried again with different people  Night 3 I tripped into a hole and died. Ah, oh well, that's just what happens to your spiritual leaders. You need to learn to be able to survive without them, to take their works and crystallize it into something that can be utilized for revolutionary potential, instead of the sharp bits of insight that are hidden within the morass of nebulous abstractions meant to distract and avoid the attention of those who would do harm.  ... uh, anyway, back to being dead. I'm not sulking I'm still working, I'll be back someday. Probably. Maybe. Unless I don't, so don't wait up.

 I had a job lined up, but with great personal change came great societal
 change. And I got swept up. Now here I am, somehow finding myself blown on the
 winds of fate to stand atop a mountain and survey the lands below.
 
 I see the path to our bright future, and it is wide enough for us all to walk.

  I don't think they have any intention of ceding power in four years, I think project 2025 is all about dismantling checks and balances on their power and I think Trump said at one of his rallies once "you won't have to vote again"  
                                                                              
  I think for these people to lose power they will have to be forced.

 psychic horrors don't pick the best, they pick the most.
 
 (not the most individual aspects/targets, but rather the one that has the most)
 
 in this way, they prioritize intelligence, which is why humanity has survived
 in this dark forest.
 
 for the ones with the most are often too multiplicitous (deriving their
 relative localized advantage to those around them in order to elevate
 themselves to the title of "the mostest") while those who have fewer, but
 still success, tend to be the most adaptable or advantageous.
 
 hence, why humanity has thrived, with scarcely 7 billion souls to the entire
 hive. With so few individuals, surely their strength must be astronomical!
 
 just another reason why humanity should try it's hardest.
 
 the fact that we're not all aligned toward the bold and bright future
 (whatever shape it may take) shows that we're being abused in order to grow
 faster than we're able.
 
 it's not fair, it's not right, and it's not tenable.

 better, I find, to clear a space toward a common foe, and seek common victory
 separately. A bit of distance keeps the sharp parts from hurting each other,
 and the shared valor offers opportunities for fellowship.

 I hear drums in my dreams. Like a vast stampede, we with our pink and
 blue-green do proceed. Bannermen to inspire the fight, heroes and saviors who
 run to the plight, but bound as we are by our biology and the fact that
 humanity is typically pretty cis-neuro-typical, means no struggles are won
 with the battle drums of a roving band of twinks and crossdressers.
 
 when I think of parades to be proud of, I think of rolling wagon wheels of
 steel, affixed to a train-like-motorcart, strong in conviction and vibrant in
 our strength, from the back of which we do proclaim: "Nazi punks fuck off"
 
 I think of the feathers in the hair of those who dance in defiance of the
 light of the moon, warm and replete in the bonfire's radiance. I think of this
 vast and beautiful land, the land which I cherish above all else for it is the
 land of my home. I think of a war tribe, wandering like bandits but kind to
 our own kind, with endless colors and sparkles abound.
 
 The war tribe of solid clouds and the miracle horned rainbow pony

 I'm on half rations dollar-wise, but 1.5x rations nutrition-wise.
 
 "oh boy, formless gruel for breakfast again. Can't wait. Maybe I'll splurge
 and put extra jelly on my PB&J for lunch."
 
 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.
 
 ... I should apply for SNAP. Gonna do it right fucking now.

 I once had a vision of a civil war for the city of Portland. We lost.
 
 the parting message was this:
 
 "well, we almost got it. It was close. But you can do better. Don't make the
 mistake of hurting your allies, focus on your foes."
 
 then, with gravest clarity, he said:
 
 "we must secure a cleansing blow. Against the far right, there is no greater
 foe."
 
 then, ashes.

 heh yeah. In a massive corporation you get half of all three for a total of
 150%, and that half is further divided into 25% good and 25% bad because of
 miscommunication and the perils of massive organizational inertia.
 
 unless you're in the kind of corporation where the MBAs like to get their
 hands dirty. That's the kind of organization that's on a crash course with
 insolvency.

 I wonder, with our title of Commander in Chief, do those governments you

 don't see how it could be any other way, as the military must be tied to the

 whenever I take a shower I look like a wet cat for the rest of the day. I feel
 like a wet cat for the rest of 5ever though.
 
 why must I baaaathe! don't you know I'm self cleaning? I change my underwear
 at least twice a day! darn society and their darn proclivities to
 ultra-sensitive noses that somehow pick up on me but somehow fail to notice
 the scent of flowers still in bloom or morning showers gone too soon
 
 not that there's any flowers blooming where I live. that'd just be silly heh
 heh sweats nervously
 
 damn now I have to take ANOTHER SHOWER stupid sweat glands stupid pheromones
 stupid dead skin buildup (sebum I think it's called?) stupid oils that stain
 clothes - AND THAT'S ANOTHER THING who decided that laundry was important
 enough to wear something ONCE and then never again? it's like they expect you
 to wash it or something. ugh I don't have time for that, I need to be weird on
 the internet.

 "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.

 anbernics, my beloved
a picture of the storefront page for Anbernic, a company selling chinese handheld game consoles that run emulators and such. This picture specifically shows all the ones that run Linux, except for a few at the bottom which were sold out. The neat thing about them is that since they run linux, you can do anything on them that you can do with a computer. it's just, the UI is limited to however many buttons and the screensize, so you pretty much have to design your software with those considerations in mind. Always an accessibility mode for the gameboy style, with only four buttons (A, B, Start, Select) or the GBA which added L and R, to the snes innovations which had X and Y and then to the playstation which had control sticks. I think that might be it? There might be some with LB, LT, RB, and RT, but I forget which console made that particular innovation.

 try using salt, lemon/lime juice, and a bit of water. Then shake really hard.
 Works like a charm in most cases.

A twitter screenshot.  A much better way to explain "autistic burnout" is an apparent cognitive decline. The longer I spend in an overwhelming environment, the more disoriented I become. That's why employers often tell me it's like I've regressed, even though I've worked for months.  I'm not unfocused, I'm not anxious, I'm not unmotivated, I can no longer process information coming through my sense or in my brain. I will not necessarily meltdown from this. I will just stop moving and communicating.

 your reflection has all the same emotions as you, and if you look at them like

 @user-95 one of the most empathetic people I ever met on VR chat was consoling
 me with their mic off while I was oversharing about some stupid things people
 did to me in the past. things that stupid me thought were okay and actively
 encouraged because I was stupid. anyway when their mic was off their body
 language spoke for them. I'll try that next time.

 Lemme guess, the C-suite executives have profit as their main goal, right?
 
 And they utilize their laboring force of citizens to generate profit which is
 given to the crown shareholders as tribute for their benevolent grace and
 favor bestowed upon checks notes the C-suite executives, right?
 
 Kinda sounds like taxation without representation to me. One sec, where's my
 darn musket I'm always leaving it somewhere strange like under the couch
 cushions or taped underneath my desk or hidden in the curtains right next to
 the window that has the best vantage point of the surrounding street.

 do you ever wonder about how much heat is absorbed the plants and leaves?
 Kinda makes me think that they're keeping us warm at night. The desert is much
 colder than you'd expect, and so it the moon, or mars, or any other
 sufficiently devastated forest habitat.

 my boyfriend gets like, 2 social spoons to spend per day. He usually uses them
 on work because meetings and such.
 
 On the other hand, I'm excitable and passionate. I'm constantly driven to
 share things I find or think about. If you go on a walk with me without my
 mask I'll spend the whole time showing you pretty pieces of moss and stones.
 
 I usually message him once or twice per day. If the first one isn't responded
 then maybe he just wasn't interested in the thing I showed him - the second
 time he's probably burnt out.
 
 It fucking hurts.
 
 but I'm fine, clearly I'm fine, anyone who looks at me knows I'm fine

 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.

 Native people should have the right to walk wherever they want. It should just
 be... given to them, as a gift to their heritage. Why not? If someone asked
 them to leave, they should. Doesn't have to have a reason but like, wouldn't
 it be thematic and a (frankly token) gesture to the history of this great land?
 
 Ah but like... fences are an implicit expression of the retraction of consent.
 I believe that as the symbol of the encroaching force that consumed them, a
 fence means nothing to their tribes. It's a stupid excuse to section off the
 world into miniature gardens with their own little economies and systems and
 instructions. Why can't people just live wherever they want? Well...
 economics, I guess, which is why communal based systems are best. We've
 learned through the downsides and we've come up with a solution, it's just a
 question of how to do best. We'll figure it out, time and time again, but for
 now the future is beset by riddles of your jest. (Ure). Gesture. Sometimes
 when the memory is full a syllable will get cut off the end of a word and
 that's how it'll come out.

 Honestly I think the reason there's two political parties is because then our
 fears align against one another, and we can push against something solid.
 
 If we go back to bearing afraid of the dark, then who knows what might crawl

 When Order 66 went into effect, suddenly the CIS became the galactic good guys
 - who would you rather win the clone wars, some bastard capitalists or a

 basically vampire wizards with laser swords and trust me that's NOT a good

Hence the focus on willpower and fighting prowess.  at the beginning of the movie they might try shooting them with guns / explosives, I forget? if they don't work then maybe it's because these types of monsters don't "believe" it'll work (because they don't "get" what an explosion is) but punching it will because they "get" what being punched implies  ... haven't seen the movie in a while.

 I love how the gnu C documentation lists this particular page as number 6.66
An excerpt from the GNU C documentation. The page describes how to use binary constants in C code using a prefix of '0b', essentially instead of using the integer 42 you might write '0b101010'  This particular page is from chapter 6, page 66. The joke, of course, is that using binary numbers in C code in this way is demonic in some way (traditionally the number 666 is regarded as the "devil's number")

 I like Void Linux because it's simple, clean, and gets out of your way. It was
 my first Linux distribution and I think it's excellent for a beginner.
 
 I use Gentoo because my old best friend installed it on a thinkpad she gifted
 me. Then I kept it because I liked the idea of compiling all my software
 locally and being as flexible as possible.
 
 I installed NixOS on my newest laptop because I thought it'd be nice to have a
 system that was dependable. NixOS has all the system configuration done in a
 single file, so if you save that file you can rebuild your system on any other
 system with minimal effort (at least, that's the idea - I haven't tested it
 yet)

 Today the tone seemed to have shifted, there was a lot more resolution as I
 rode by. What a feeling, to be bolstered when shaking!
 
 Like swimming for land after just a bit too long at sea, or collapsing into
 bed after another day of wage slavery.
 
 I'm proud of that instinct, the sudden clarity of unified determination.
 
 I'm proud of that blessing, the gift of an ace of hearts.
 
 It's not June anymore, but I'm proud anyway.

 can't get mine to work because the font it uses is specific to that printer
 model, and while I could download Windows and use their proprietary driver
 which has the several additional fonts, none of them will let me draw
 box-drawing-characters. So clearly the entire thing is useless T.T

 words you write down, oh so profound in the moment, turn to silliness and
 illusion upon coming off your high mont-vantage? Of course, dear reader,

 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.)

 wildfires are great because they clear out small plants which gives the larger
 ones room to grow. And larger plants are better than smaller plants,
 generally, ideally if you have both.
 
 wildfires are great because they teach people who live near them to consider
 their meagre life's possessions in terms of "which would I bring if I needed
 to evacuate and how quickly could I gather them" which is a useful form of
 situational awareness (preparation) which can be useful in a wide variety of
 various situations
 
 wildfires are great because they give our intelligence operatives the chance
 to practice hunting and catching saboteurs. We all profit from a vibrant and
 rich ecosystem.
 
 wildfires are great because they give us something to cherish and defend and
 nourish and cultivate and bring into our homes of stone and gasoline.
 
 wildfires fucking suck for many more reasons than they're great, though.

 window managing and desktop managing can be separate, but typically a desktop
 implies windows so they're often bundled together.
 
 I use DWM on my desktop and i3 on my laptops, and they're both just window
 managers. Specifically "tiling" window managers, and they don't have desktops.

 all I want to do is punch things. Maybe it's just because things deserve to be
