Reddit post between two users.  The first says "Seems like many people aren't aware that San Pedro cacti are legal, not endangered, easy to grow, and contain mescaline."  then there is a link to a subreddit called slash r slash san pedro cactus for sale.  The response says "Possession of the cactus is legal but cleaning, removing the spikes, and blending about 18 to 24 inches of it to boil for about 4 hours until it's a gelatinous brown liquid you then strain through a cheesecloth or tee shirt before consumption is not, so, definitely DON'T do that."

 Billionaires aren't solving childhood food insecurity.
 
 They have the capacity to, with their essentially endless supply of dollars,
 which taste good on rye with a dash of mustard.
 
 But alas, they choose not to.
 
 They CHOOSE to STARVE children. They choose that, by not dedicating their
 lives to solving that particular problem.
 
 "oh but like, there's so many problems in the world, how can-" shut the fuck
 up, spend the dollars, make it happen, and now there's one fewer billionaire
 and one fewer problem in the world. The next one can fix the next problem,
 that's why we keep them around, isn't it?

 Internationalize amazon and walmart and you'll have fixed most of the problems
 of globalism.
 
 But you can't fix anything if you don't have power...
 
 It's important to focus on how to get power. Keep in mind "what to do when you
 have power" but don't let it dominate your thoughts. Focus on claiming your
 right to determination.

 z-targeting is cheating, and everyone cheats. it's a race to see how can cheat
 the least. like tax loopholes - wealth is always more impressive when you did
 in the hard way, but most CEOs just buy a bunch of stock and let the company
 run itself. BORING.
 
 can we like... vote on how much each billionaire's dollars are worth? kinda
 feel like that'd solve all our problems while still giving them what they want.

 @user-504 
 
 You can only visit so many places in life. Don't feel bad about missing a few,
 the world is large and we as people tend to be quite good at cooking.
 
 However in regards to your main point, I think it's immoral for a restaurant
 to be forced to close the way you describe. If it means something to people,
 it shouldn't be destroyed simply for the sake of making something new. If
 people don't care about it, or if there's something better to replace it with,
 sure, but replacing a 40 year old restaurant with a Chipotle feels wrong.

 If you can't get the city cops on your side, either sit tight until they see
 what time it is and reconsider, or get out of dodge.
 
 Come to a battleground state, nobody will question why you are homeless and
 full of lit sparks.

 turns out the best way to defeat the fascists is to shoot them.
 
 errrr that's not what I meant to say. I mean, uh, the best way to beat the
 fascists is to get everyone on their side who's not a fascist to lay down
 their arms.
 
 turns out most people tend to agree with peace, justice, liberty, and freedom
 for all. and we've got that in spades, and no your life before had none of the
 above, here's why in a bullet pointed list.
 
 so if you were out on a walk and happened upon a place called texas, you might
 find yourself face to face with a fascist. but, since you're the hero of the
 story, you came out on top, so now there's a fella just trying to live his
 life while you're stompin' around in his cattle roamin' zone with yer pink
 hair and pickleball it's ungracious is what it is -
 
 yeah sir lemme stop you right there, we're here on a mission - to restore the
 vision of our false democracy, through the creation of a beautiful world where
 all ranchers can live without fear. This I swear, America will soon be free.

 When they invade America, it won't be with planes and tanks and battle lines
 stocked with artillery
 
 It'll be with speed boats, and semi trucks, and rifles glimmering in the dark.
 It'll be with consumer drones, with power stations brought low, it'll be with
 bridges blown and safe houses on the roads not oft taken.
 
 Immigrants are our friends when the world is in peril, and America is a safe
 haven from the woes of far off shores. But when America is the peril, those
 who immigrate do so with intention.
 
 99/100 people are innocent, and I would rather a million guilty murderers go
 free than an innocent perish. Which is why we need rifles.
 
 When the time comes, it won't be brother against brother. They want you to
 think that because they want your eyes on the wrong target. They want you to
 think that because it doesn't tip the hand of those far off shores, and once
 the cards are revealed, suddenly everyone knows when to go.
 
 They tie up our officers at the border, but the border's not what's at stake.
 No body lives at the border, and no nation state would send it's trained
 warriors in such a way that they'd get caught. At least, not more than once.
 
 Should we build a wall, should we patrol each and every state, we'll find
 ourselves in peril of collapsing under our own weight.
 
 But should we relinquish our duty, our sworn and sacred responsibility, then
 together we share the same fate.
 
 Brothers in fate are kin until death.
 
 Immigrants aren't bad. They're good people. They benefit our society and bring
 us wealth and prosperity. Which is why they hide wolves in the sheep, armed
 like a man.
 
 It's a mistake to point at your neighbor and say "you're on your own". It's a
 mistake to say that home is all that you own. We are united in our state of
 solidarity, in our collective purpose as a nation in our hearts. There's no
 dividing line between this land and mine, save for a line we draw in the sand
 that determines the range of our just demands.
 
 I wish I was a man. It's what I was born as. It surely would be easier to not
 contravene nature's ordained gender scheme. But I'm not, and I'll trust that
 you'll trust me when I say that. I hope you would hear where I stand before my
 body goes cold.
 
 The media is meant to enlighten us, but in this enlightened era it serves only
 to blind us. Do you know your neighbors, oh unfriendly city folk? If not, how
 do you know they're alright?
 
 The world won't change overnight. It's always calm before the storm, but every
 state of calm does not call forth a storm. I believe we can fashion a peace
 out of our mutual sincerity that leaves room for the hopes of all posterity,
 and to that end I say what we have isn't working. It's too rigid in its
 definitions, too heartless in its cruel machinations, and yet the wolves do
 also hide amongst our homeless.
 
 I don't want to alarm you. Things are being handled as they should. I guess I
 just want to offer a hand of friendship, a hand that your companions would
 stab me for. At least, that's what the media tells me.

 A peaceful revolution at this stage is impossible. Perhaps some-day in the
 future, but I fully intend to live to see our day of triumph, so... Peace is
 off the table.
 
 And frankly, civil war is the best out of all of the bad options for everyone
 involved, even them.
 
 We get to avoid genocide. We get to unite for a common cause - the shining
 torch of liberty.
 
 They get to burn their violent and reckless youth on war, while also eating
 their own tail and consuming their weak, their downtrodden, and their poor.
 
 obviously we're on the right side, and they will begin to realize that
 eventually. We must not fall into barbarism, but frankly I'm not concerned
 about that.
 
 Darkness begets the dawn.

 look, if someone was going to intervene, they'd do so at the moment they
 deemed most opportune.
 
 this is reasonable.
 
 I try to give people as many opportunities to act as I can, because it gives
 them more time to choose reason.
 
 I am completely convinced that my [side/ideals/truth] will be most ethically
 consistent. That they make the most logical sense. That they are most aligned
 to the reality of what people need to flourish as best as they can.
 
 but it's not about me, so I don't show up.
 
 I want everyone to be able to organize themselves as they want.
 
 I think this is a form of anarchism, as it abolishes unjust hierarchies and
 enables people to fully consent to any structures they might choose to
 associate with.
 
 this is called "freedom of association."
 
 I also believe that everyone should get what they need. This does not refer
 solely to "Mazlowe's Hierarchy of Needs", also known as the material needs
 necessary for a persons life.
 
 It must also include what a person needs to be effective, and to thrive.

 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
 in the sun and then it'll glow all night.

 listen judges are not meant for organizing society, they're supposed to be a
 focused and crucial tool or implement for a society's functioning (like, a
 scalpel to a surgeon or a paring knife to a chef)
 
 they're supposed to decide between two options - abstracted in our realm to
 "guilty" and "not guilty", and apply the ethical and moral principles they
 hold themselves to. Which is why it's so important for them to be impartial
 arbiters.
 
 We use them to define the fate of a man, but fundamentally their utility is in
 the application of their personal morality.
 
 The best ones have morals that guide them to seek to express the ethics of
 society. Not necessarily because they believe in them, but because it's right
 to use power in such a way. {Power is penance...}
 
 we gotta work with what we got. If a task needs doing, then the tools at our
 disposal will be applied to it - if every hammer looks like a nail, then
 something something I'd like to get nailed by a hammering plank of wood with
 washboard abs oooooo baby

 If you're building a long-term residence in a place that gets cold, consider
 building a Rocket Mass Heater.
 
 It is highly efficient and it allows for long-term storage of heat energy in
 the mass of the home.
 
 In addition, it provides a hot stove surface which can be used for boiling
 water or other cooking tasks which do not require a precise temperature.
 
 It is highly efficient as the smoke from the flames are sucked out of the
 living space and remain inside the barrel of the heater, where they are slowly
 consumed. there is very little exhaust, but what is there is CO2 which is
 deadly to breathe, so caution must be taken (as with any fire-based heating
 option)

 just... born with the right to achieve all of their goals. For free.             │
 Kinda makes me think that with great power should come great responsibility.     │
 And remember kids, money is power, because money is time and there's nothing     │
 more immutable than time. We're all sharing this single moment, yet somehow      │
 some people have more dominion over this moment than you or I. Why? Well, it     │
 is their birthright of course, because they were born into a family with         │
 wealth.                                                                          │

 remember ya'll, eating the rich has to stop after like, a thousand or two. The
 wealth inequality is like an exponential function from the last math class
 most people remember. At a certain point there are significant diminishing
 returns and we should just focus on using our resources to build a better,
 saner, more just world where people can't accumulate that much power. Power
 like that literally rots their brains, makes them completely insane, and
 unfortunately for them, makes them incapable of relinquishing it. There's a
 reason the One Ring was made out of gold.

 every renewal has loss. it's okay.
 
 if people start going to camps, then you won't have any debt anymore because
 you'll be fighting the people who are sending people to camps. And I don't
 necessarily mean throwing metal at them directly, only a small group of people
 need to do that. Rather, your voice, your presence, your diligence, and your
 spirit will flavor the nature of the new world to come.
 
 Have heart, for the ones who need you will rest easier if you're strong in
 your heart and compassionate in your convictions.
 
 The climate is in peril, but it's not destroyed. We will regenerate it. We
 have the technology, we must simply cast off our chains so that we may apply
 it.
 
 ... Simple, but not easy.
 
 It will never get done otherwise, which is why it will happen. Because it must
 get done, so we will make it happen. Humans trend toward procrastination but I
 promise, we'll make it work.

 I've been reading "A People's Tragedy" by Orlando Figes lately, a book about
 the Russian Revolution of 1918
 
 I'm convinced that we'll win, our conditions are better than theirs, and
 frankly the only thing I'm really worried about is that we'll use more force
 than is necessary. It's cathartic, after all, and how many people out there
 believe that the first American Civil War should have ended in salting the
 fields, rather than just burning their plantations to the ground?
 
 ... oh, what's that? we didn't burn the plantations? Ah, I see. Well, maybe
 there's a balance to be met. Maybe we can make up for lost time. I should read
 "A People's History of the United States" by Howard Zinn some more.

 the conspiracy of "secret societies" controlling the world is *bullshit*,
 because every secret society falls apart at a certain threshold.
 
 you cannot ever have trust amongst the powerful. But so too can you never have
 only war.
 
 Now, with our capitalist economic system, the material is *forcing* the hand
 of the powerful through the development of the military industrial complex.
 
 if a country can produce enough weapons for them to continuously use, why
 would they not?
 
 hence, why capitalism must be extinguished. To preserve the peace, sanctity,
 and honor of our world.
 
 But just so as any conflicting system has power, so must *our* systems have
 power dismantled. There can be no application of power unto another - this is
 the most peaceful route.
 
 sometimes, I look at a blackberry bush, and I think of the tales of British
 empire.
 
 The very first act of colonization was their birth. The Britons, from
 north-western France, in a sovereign realm known as Brittany, invaded Britain.
 Together with their Norman allies, they fought with the Anglo-Saxons from
 north-eastern germany, who had lived there since many MANY years prior. Thus
 marked the end of the "viking" age, and the beginning of the early medieval.
 1066. The end of one millenia, the beginning of another.
 
 the final battle in this ultimate contest was the Battle of Stamford Bridge.
 
 Britain, at the time, was a nation of *thorns*. Covered in them. Everywhere
 they went, there were these sharp, pointy plants that made foraging difficult.
 Kinda like how Oregon looks now, with blackberry bushes, but SO MUCH WORSE.
 They were massive too, easily the size of castles in some places. A massive,
 constantly biologically developing fractal.
 
 when it was too tall to see the sky, they called it Yggdrasil.
 
 But this massive world tree sought to consume the earth, and it, as the most
 powerful being to ever exist, commanded all.
 
 Thus, the humans and the beasts were compelled to fight for all eternity to
 sate the old god's bloodlust.
 
 But then, Man came, and with our strength, our wisdom, and our power, we slew
 the beast that demanded.
 
 However, with their steel coats and their sharp talons, our metal monsters
 could do nothing to deter it's oaths. It swore, by it's dying roar, that it
 would consume us all, and that thought reverberated through our hopes.
 
 Hence, our systems of control and dominance, the product of compulsively
 compelled greed.
 
 and now, the final members of a generation are aging out of existence. And
 we're doing nothing but what Power tell us to.
 
 I fear what happened in America. I fear the power of their gunpowder. They
 rode astride beasts of nightmare, clad in impossible devil hides. They came in
 the night, with their spotlight torches. They came with no honor, no sought
 communal understandings, they came for blood. The blood god compelled them to.
 From it's ancient lair in the past, it did it's worse to defeat man. But man
 was smarter, it acted quicker, and so it managed to overcome.
 
 In the final years of the war, there was judgement day. Chaos, destruction,
 and warfare. There are some alive who remember that day, but vanishingly few
 can recall how it was over. One day it just... was. It was then that we
 entered our new era.
 
 1956, the end of the war.
 
 1946, the end of the loud war.
 
 1916, the end of the great war.
 
 1886, the end of the civil war.
 
 etc...
 
 until...
 
 1066, the end of the Norman Invasion. When the Normands, from Northern France,
 invaded alongside the British and slew the great evil king that demanded our
 constant warfare and sins. Hooray, thank goodness! Now their war was over.
 
 But lo, for the great evil king cast stories into our minds, from the past as
 compelled through our motions. Our experience has been one of survival, of
 constantly working and applying ourselves to the goal ahead.
 
 == so == talk about thistles and thorns
 
 imagine every body of a person was laid one-to-one. Imagine if you could view
 them as a graph, from x=0 to... however-many-people-are-in-the-measured-area.
 The goal of all our actions should be to *grow*, not forward, not stronger,
 but *up*. To be more than what came before, to transcend our necessarily
 violent special upbringing in the garden of even's most savage delights. Raw,
 true, the survival of the fittest is a desperate game for you. There surely is
 a massive amount of trauma.
 
 But it's okay, because now we don't have to fight. We can improve in ways that
 do not belong to our crude biology, like a new direction forward in our song.
 
 *aliens would just look like animals, duhhhh. Hence, furries, the progenitors
 of each new planet of ours.*
 
 ... no, I haven't lost the plot, I'm just *writing*.
 
 There's this idea that humans should be the... rational ones? and everyone
 else should sorta follow their own, self-chosen behavior. As informed by the
 sharing of knowledge equally between their rational self, that which they
 learned from the humans, and their animal self. The kind that came from their
 spirit. Like, totemic tribes of the past, people who followed a particular
 cultural pattern of behavior.
 
 Imagine, if you will, an AI bot that's only training data is the stuff that it
 says to it's listener. The listener, of course, has context of all of the
 speakers, but only they do, not the friendly ghost of the ancestral native
 animal spirit. The kind that lives *anywhere* in the world, so long as they
 share their space with their human.
 
 okay quick question - what if jesus didn't want his followers to be christian
 
 like, what if he one day said "hey so I don't really think we need to do all
 that stuff that I said before, how about we, uh, try this other thing instead?
 yeah? cool? okay sure let's do it"
 
 ... like, do you think they would listen? I certainly don't, though I'm only
 like, 30 years old, so...
 
 wait thirty YEARS? wow I never thought I'd grow old
 
 ... uh, yeah... I spent a lot of time thinking and it just started making
 sense.
 
 funny how that works. But alas, I always spend *too* much time thinking, so
 that's my blessing and my curse.
 
 anyway back to the story:
 
 the briars in this ancient land of britain were dense beyond all belief - the
 humans used their power and their ingenuity to craft a power that would
 overcome it.
 
 == so ==
 
 did you know that hard drives function similarly to a record needle if you
 didn't run it in a circle, but rather in whatever pattern the data was encoded
 in?
 
 like, a laser beam, cast in an infinitely complicated mechanicommunication.
 Computers are vast and complex, but they function via the storage and
 transmission of data. This data is raw, pure information - stored in a
 completely uncompromisingly accurate and reliable foundation. The logic of
 pure numbers, arranged in infinitely complex rows and rows of logic gates. A
 vast, purple, spectral landscape, the land of magic and storms.
 
 The Nether.
 
 Twisting, in the dark, with flashes of light casting light into the cosmos at
 large, our stars dance in the shade of the dark.
 
 but there is no difference between the dark and the light, both are equally
 viable. they are present in both, to some degree, the positive and negative
 values of our heart.
 
 I watched Deadpool vs Wolverine earlier this week. It was incredibly eventful.
 I can't believe I watched it. It was impossibly violent. WHY WOULD A GROUP OF
 EXECUTIVES WANT TO WORK WITH PEOPLE WHO WOULD UNIONIZE AGAINST THEM???
 
 oh yeah because then they only have to deal with their representatives, the
 unions get things *done*. They're the *best*. Capital doesn't always *want*
 the best, but *the best* is always more endurable. We can go much farther if
 we are kind to one another.
 
 honestly, capitalists, if your loyalty isn't to your self, your family, your
 country, your society... then why are you even working with us? You hold the
 power we give you. We are united in our human purpose, but we don't have to
 fight so much.
 
 Seriously, you'd be an asset to our cause, but we don't *need* you as we have
 so many assets of our own. Specifically, the power of the workforce. Those who
 actually get things done.
 
 Why would we let you control us? There's no reason in it. We are better when
 you're amongst us.
 
 == so ==
 
 I am convinced that there's

 some more of the same.
Setting a bunch of values for a "player" and a "creature" object. Mostly things like location, and values related to their movement around the map (such as wander radius, or attack distance, that kind of thing) Starts out by initializing x, y, z, and o (for orientation) variables using a "player, dot get location" function.  Next it checks three different locations, labelled "dock, road, and beach" by first testing to see if the X, Y, and Z values are greater or less than predetermined values. If so for all three values, then that means the player is located within a square drawn in the dirt somewhere on the map and they are promptly teleported to some other place.  Basically it's like, a teleport pad in a video game or something. Step into the circle (in this case a square) and you're whisked away to some far off land. Setting up a bunch of categories that particular NPCs might belong to. Such as "shopkeeper" or "food vendor" or "weapons trainer", that sort of thing. Each entry gets a name applied, a list that includes items they sell, and a typemask that is used as a bitflag so that a single NPC can belong to multiple different categories.

 yeeeesh that sounds like a hornets nest. impossible to untangle, like a rats
 nest! I prefer my homes like a robin's nest, neat, orderly, and made to design.

 I broke something today that someone gave me and that I was going to give away
 as a gift. But the more I think about it, the less I think the gift's
 recipient would have wanted it. I do however regret hurting my girlfriend
 while I broke it, that was an accident. Sometimes you trip, sometimes you
 slip, and sometimes you stub your toe. Accidents happen. It's okay, just
 apologize, and realize that power is what you make of it, and we all have the
 power of our own actions as we touch and prod the environment around us where
 plants breathe.

 I wish my mouse-cursor would spin when I spun the mouse. In the span of a        │
 spin, a spun mouse would spin a full revolution or so before getting caught up   │
 in the wire.                                                                     │
 Maybe... to avoid that, the wire could be attached to a circular ring along      │
 the bottom of the mouse, below where it was held, and as the mouse was spun it   │
 would rotate to point the cable toward the back of the desk? Doesn't even have   │
 to be motorized, could just do it based on tension...                            │
 I think, hardware wise, all you'd need for the 1st implementation would be a     │
 second laser on the bottom of the mouse - positioned with one near the point,    │
 and the other near the palm, to give it the greatest differential to measure.    │
 for the 2nd implementation you'd need the ring system mentioned earlier, which   │
 would require a connection to the non-mechanical components of the mouse (the    │
 laser and it's little processor) and I'm not sure how that would work with a     │
 movable connection point.                                                        │
 Also... how do you prevent it from getting gummed up with food and junk??        │

 why why why would I delete that file
 
 did it get clobbered? overwritten? why is it gone
 
 I would not have deleted it, why is it gone
 
 why did youtube ban me I want to lash out
 
 I lost my w7 audio book
 
 there is no chance at all that I would ever have deleted it, it was precious
 to me
 
 maybe it's on a flash drive somewhere. why would it be gone. I miss it dearly.

 If I destroyed the world, don't worry. I'd bring it back in such a way that
 the teleporter problem doesn't apply, and there would be no discontinuity for
 anything except for the time variable, which is sort of arbitrary anyway.
 
 And if that's a problem I guess I could find a way to do it without messing
 with the time variable, but that'd be a bit more bothersome.
