 Maybe a design that put weight on the sternum instead of the breast area? With
 more support for the waist, like hiking backpacks sometimes do. That way you
 can spread out the physical cost of toiling to carry it, like wearing a belt
 with a chain shirt to distribute the pounds.
 
 seriously just, arm straps that meet in the middle instead of the shoulders.
 Probably won't be as good but it might be better. Could do under the boobs as
 well, for like a triple attachment point.
 
 You can sorta simulate this by clipping the two straps together and pulling
 them to the center, but not all backpacks support that.

 tailoring clothes to fit multiple people is easy. Just add buttons at a
 certain distance in the direction their bodies grew different. Then, when
 donning or doffing the piece of equipment, the various users would button the
 clothing system to their bodies at the correct position, rather than whatever
 the fabric had been cut to allow.

 hey if you wanted to be accessible for blind people, you should build a

 pointing toward a tablet. like reading braille on a notebook. They could even
 wear a glove if they wanted to, and the tablet could scan their fingers as
 they signed languaged over it's close-range sensors.
 
 might be a good way to get the VR guys in on the accessibility domain, because

 one of the perks of layering like this is if you ever need to share clothes

 Also if you get hot indoors because some people think we need to run heaters

 you shouldn't overexpose yourself to things regularly. Think of it like you're

 up a tolerance. In the same way if things make your heart hurt then you

 ooooo separating additive and multiplicative, I love that. I do like
 specificity unless "increased" and "more" always corresponds to +10% and +50%,
 or if the "rate of increase" is a stat stored on the character then
 "increased" could increase quality by however-many percentage,, while "more"
 could be "more soldiers" x(charisma_stat)
 
 I tend to think of percentages like "0-100 (or more) stacks" of a particular
 effect, so I think that's just how my brain works... xD clumping them up into
 discrete groups - like, anti-abstracting, or measuring things that are just a
 few.
 
 "is this belt better than this one?"
 
 "is this pair of tongs 
 
 even for larger buffs like +10% or +50% or whatever, those are just... 10
 stacks, or if percentages are usually round numbers like +10% and +50% then
 like... +1 stack which calculates to +10%

 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.

 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.

 they can reveal something about our hearts.

 weight: wear a chain shirt and use a weighted blanket.
 
 density idk, maybe something with gyroscopes?
 
 brightness is easy, wear sunglasses
 
 temperature you can adjust your "normal" temperature by wearing fewer clothes
 in the winter and more clothes in the summer - essentially acclimating
 yourself to a slightly more extreme climate. this can be useful if you know
 you're going to travel north / south, and want to be comfortable when you get
 there. or maybe just people who don't want to be vulnerable to air
 conditioners in the winter (whyyyyyy)
 
 taste: you could eat some of these berries and then gnaw on a lemon
 
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synsepalum_dulcificum
 
 inertia: ride a bunch of roller coasters
 
 sense of compassion: try empathizing with your enemy, just for a moment, even
 if you don't want to, if only to see their trajectory.
 
 sense of justice: public executions for a negative direction, but a positive
 (and much longer and healthier) path is true justice, the satisfying feeling
 when everyone gets what they wanted here.

 temporarily weaken, as now you know how to operate at peak form and should
 only require rest and recuperation (possibly resources) in order to build
 yourself back up to your full potential after being weakened by the trials in
 your recent past.
 
 also, just because getting stronger is part of surviving, doesn't mean that
 all situations where you get stronger are situations where you survive.

 The difference between front-end and back-end programming is whether or not

 them together in a way that suits the user. Front end is collage, back end is

 if you ever need to take a cold shower, you can make it easier by acclimating
 yourself slowly. The easiest way to do this is to spread water over successive
 parts of your body with your hands - I usually start with my thighs, then
 legs, then belly and butt, then chest, neck, then face. After that you should
 be good to get in the water.
 
 somehow it's less painful if it's applied by a warm hand, and yet it gets you
 comfortable in the cold just the same. curious...

 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

 @user-95 yes, ideas like this certainly help move the story along when you're
 sitting around a table. I can't help but wonder though if it shines a light on
 a deeper insight, specifically the ways in which a society might function if
 such pouches were commonplace. Say, everyone gets a package from the Royal
 Enchanter's Guild when they turn 18 and it has this endlessly refilling pouch
 (credit card with a 25$ limit that gets paid off every hour) a shortsword
 (Ruger 10/22) a standard issue pocketknife (Leatherman) with a manual that
 explains basic survival techniques and the operation of said tools. Also a
 handwritten note by a random granny somewhere in the country. Errr....
 kingdom. I feel like if this kind of thing was built into the culture it would
 help young people feel empowered in the face of the machinations of Moloch -

 conservatives think gender is assigning yourself to a particular social role
 
 liberals think gender is sort of an aesthetic and way of presenting yourself
 
 queer people tend to think of gender as how you feel and what sparks joy in
 your heart
 
 the truth is much more complicated and involves all three, and many more
 things besides.

 If you're packing for a long car ride, it's a good idea to put the things
 you'll need first near the top of the bag, and the things you'll need at your
 destination at the bottom.
 
 if you don't know where you're going, well then just try and pack more of the
 essentials.
 
 for example sandwiches go at the top, because you're going to be eating them
 en route.
 
 however clean underwear should probably be near the bottom.

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

 it's okay. If I were to direct something to be more proactive, my words
 probably wouldn't stick with it. that kind of thing can't be hardwired, it
 needs to be built up through repetitious application of something's mechanics.
 
 perhaps martial arts, focused on defence? engaging with a foe in a productive
 bout of playful competition is one of the best ways to learn, and knowing when
 to strike seems similar to me to overcoming situational paralysis.
 
 Flaws can be overcome, when upgrading robots (or a doll applying improvements
 to itself) you often don't need to add additional hardware or even install new
 firmware. Skills such as these can be built up in software with experience.

 when playing co-operative strategy games, a build focused purely on
 self-defence and community organizing can easily fail your allies. You cannot
 win with a purely defensive build, you must have offensive capabilities as
 well.
 
 We've been trained from a young age to believe that offensive = bad, wrong,
 evil, but that's simply not true. You cannot execute a flanking maneuver
 without pushing forward behind enemy lines, where you can hit them in their
 sides or rear.
 
 Trust me, flanking is the best way to defeat a foe, because they are forced to
 split their attention not only between multiple enemies but also multiple
 directions.
 
 The more shots on target, the better your chances of success, because most of
 the time it only takes one hit to win.
 
 In addition, sometimes it's important to *intercept* your foes, either as they
 flee or to protect a vulnerable friend that is being pounced upon or flanked.

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

 I know that when you recycle 3d printed things the color tends to meld
 together and it looks kinda meh... but hey at least it's recycled.
 
 though recycled filament is probably pretty rare still, so it's probably not
 the kind you're thinking of.

 what if game designers auto-generated a source-code fork with whatever changes
 the users requested be implemented
 
 [software developers too, when working on software for tabular related scrudm
 based server space]
 
 I bet they could if they used AI to pump out bugfixes. The more they worked on
 it, the more the people demanding they work on that project in particular by
 proposing a customization request form attached to an itinerary and invoice.
 the user is free to work on them in whatever order they wish and the developer
 and the users compete for contracts.

 it's always a good idea to wear multiple layers, especially when it's decently
 cold out.
 
 make sure they're different colors. Ideally, one layer totally black, the
 other completely colorful.
 
 then if you ever need to you can strip one layer and become someone else.
 They're just clothes, they grow on trees in stores.
 
 speaking of stores, if you're ever going to do anything spicy, make sure you
 wear that outfit exactly once, unless it's all black. Jeans are okay too since
 they all usually look pretty similar.

 capital C communism is easy. Just pay everyone the same amount, and they can
 swim in the market economy waters as easily as any capitalistic fish, and
 suddenly their incentives are aligned - when one of us selfishly improves our
 lives, we improve the collective as well. When one selflessly improves the
 collective, all of our personal lives are improved. Then, optimize for radical
 abundance, the ability to have whatever you want as soon as ideal, and
 suddenly everything starts working out. P.S. the route to abundance is through
 recycling perfectly. Design your goods to be functional in that way, and you
 have infinite resources that can be used for infinitely many things (until
 they literally wear away to dust)

 gaming handhelds:

 they're great for long car trips, or going camping, or staying at grandma's
 house for an extended period of time, and other interesting times like that.
 
 I hear Anbernic has a sale going on today.
 
 Also I recommend going for one that runs Linux if possible, the Android ones
 are less hackable and therefore less reliable.

 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.
 
 therefore I suggest we dedicate ALL of the entire world's resources towards
 making a big ball of cannabinods and seeing if it roko's basilisk it's way

 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.

 kinda makes me wish we treated software design more like a science
 
 open source by default, working together to create understandings about how to
 best process information, incorporating the needs and desires of multiple
 different fields / types of person, creating useful conclusions or programs
 that people can use for their own enrichment or benefit, and oh wait funded
 and directed by people who don't care about the technology/science and instead
 just want results
 
 I feel like we'd learn a lot more in our CS degrees if we were tasked with
 making open source projects. Then maybe professors (or other people doing
 research) could show us and explain why we're doing things right / wrong. And
 if we were encouraged to use our peer's tools, then we could work together to
 design a team.
 
 Museums are great because you can meet other people who are also interested in

 @user-95 these kinds of problems are why witches should stay away from demon
 summoning - it's far too easy to be super turned on and accidentally sell your
 soul to a succubus or whatever. luckily that kind of contract is not made
 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

 AGI is the holy grail for the tech industry.
 
 You wouldn't fault a knight for questing! But the peasant or the merchant is
 hardly likely to drink from such a goblet, it is reserved for the hand of
 kings. Alas, that we couldn't find "holy thimbles" that could be distributed
 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.

 I should add all my conversation-starters to words.pdf sorted by chronology.
 time magic if you will.\some call it luck. some call it fate. call it what you
 will. you direct it not by your will, but by your instincts. keep them calm,
 measured, sensible and courageous, and nothing will ever [go un-chill, but
 pronounced get real]
 
 jedi channel this philosophy by focus and discipline. sith do it by giving in
 to emotion. either way, their fate is in play as defined entirely by the
 spirit that leads their host. most people do this not at all, for they are
 people first and force-users second. hence why jedi recruit from a young age,
 and sith from an emotional age.

 this comic, except instead of "trans enough" it should say "good enough"
 
 a poor plan executed at the right time, in the right place is better than a
 great plan that sits in your heart as you see someone who needs your love in
 pain.
 
 sometimes the best way to figure out "what the fuck is wrong with me" is to
 satisfy your emotional needs to be good by being helpful, even if you're not
 quite sure what "helpful" means. It's the thought that counts.
 
 Personally I think that if you're feeling bad and people offer you kindness,
 you should take that kindness (in whatever form it be) and use it to bolster
 yourself as you're "really going through it". Even just a touch of affection
 like a like or a ❤️ can be comforting in awful situations.

 it suddenly became relevant in your life for a different reason and you wanted
 to share it again to see if anyone wanted to talk about it so you could
 explain your feelings and see perspective from someone who's maybe approaching
 the same or similar thing from a slightly different angle?

 I never should have bought these crackers. They trick me into thinking I'm
 eating something nutritious.
 
 But that's the case with any empty calories.
 
 but hey, calories are calories, right?
 
 I guess that's true. Still, I'd rather make something.
 
 oh would you now would you REALLY rather MAKE something

 your work will outlast you. your time spent in a state of pleasure will
 sustain you.
 
 sometimes there's not a choice. sometimes you need to play, and that's okay.
 to play is natural, it's one of the first things humans do.

 my train of thought is always directly to the point. Which is why all my posts
 sorta, switch directions halfway through? as if they only show the beginning
 or end of that particular situation. What an intense feeling, to have your
 mind split for a moment like that. Sure would be powerful and useful if you
 could utilize it.
 
 "ah ah ah, caught baby deity in the power jar, cool it ya little tyke and get
 movin' - I saw a dinosaur toy over there for you to play with."
 
 sorta like, the angled part of a K? Move directly to a destination, wait until
 my memory short-circuits [because the greek choir doesn't want me to see what
 it is that I'm about to write to thee] and then make a hard right turn and
 find an orthogonal thought train to process.
 
 it's like cresting over a hill, and it's impossible to see that which lies
 behind you.
 
 Or reaching a 4 direction intersection and making a left turn - you can't see
 back up main street, because you just turned off of main street onto baseline.

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

 if tech CEOs wanted to solve REAL problems they'd think about things like how
 every girl has a drawer or box FULL of nail polish and it really, really
 doesn't need to be this way.
 
 For example, picture a fleet of delivery drones that let you swap nail polish
 with people nearby for basically zero-dollars per month.
 
 that's just one example, but that class of problem is the problems that affect
 a certain class of people that tech CEOs fundamentally do not care about - and
 yes I'm referring to people who paint their nail polish themselves. AKA women,
 and poor people who can't afford going to a salon every week.
 
 problem is....... for every solution like this you design, well suddenly you
 have a lot more applications for it than the consumer needs or wants. like for
 example what if they delivered grenades instead of nail polish. NOT GOOD.
 
 much better, I find, to abolish the powers that would utilize such murderbots
 BEFORE inventing the murderbots : )

 just as a dream, the spirit is seen
 within is the mind
 that lives as it defines.
 
 what burdens to be, whose back rests upon ye,
 the one who's driving the boat
 great care and tenderest of tethering,
 can grow beauty that beyond compare
 
 and with sparsely a finger to spare,
 journeys of adventure and thills to inspire
 with almost all of your hair
 
 beauty in tender, most cherished things,
 a wish is much fair
 where else could eternity reside than an optimist?
 
 Pride is no more, stability is key to repair,
 and diversions of focus serving as new perspective,
 giving a more cohesive vision of manifestations that cooperate
 
 (like a triangle, facing toward the point added to turn it into a pyramidal
 prism)
 
 not only is ethics paramount,
 but so too are the standards applied to yourself.
 would you trade perspective for cooperation? Stagnation?
 
 a choice is to be made - do i stay or do i go?
 a new truth you must see, whatever dreams ye've may be,
 but without paladins and warriors of devotion
 
 what burdens must ye, whose back rests upon ye,
 the one who's driving the boat
 great care and tenderest of tethering,
 requires a little bit of trust
 
 in she who must be, with only circumstance to
 blame,
 seeing hope on the horizon for his people.
 
 care must be taken, to remember why people are dying,
 and we must swear on not dying, by not thinking before taking a breath
 and remember superpowers not of prophecy are impossibly rare,
 
 what other hope is there but a god? One who reflects, the most cherished of
 our genuflex, we may grow past our various regrets. think not of our pride,
 but only of our future children.
 
 who'se records of ye, most captured of data,
 are beyond the simple machinations,
 of those who came before-ya.
 
 And with once again perfection in mind,
 we understand and take what's behind,
 to deserts and temples of time much designed,
 
 by coders and gamers and those who treasure experience.
 the wisdom of our, second choices by far, ---nah who are we kidding
 implied to be our, or rather mine just by far,
 
 inspirers and leaders sensitive and devoted.
 (pitching yourself is hard)
 but *believing* in yourself was out of your mind.
 
 can you think of a bard,
 who ever stopped thinking their song?
 no un-cherished of minds could ever be of our sign,
 
 than those who abandoned the art of deceit and betrayal?
 the darkside of trust, the lack of follow-through that be must,
 given as faith of cooperation and trust.
 
 with our all arrayed as we must,
 keep in mind our softness of composure.

 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.
