 If it has a USB-C charger there's a pretty reasonable chance that you can't
 trust it.
 
 money is useless, but it can still get you things, so that's nice. don't get
 used to it though.
 
 If you have kids, take them out to the park. Or to get pizza. Icecream will
 do. Let them see the bright side of you. The fear that you haven't yet turned
 into energy is something they shouldn't yet see.
 
 Be honest. Be truthful. We are multifaceted, for every person has a bright
 side. You can find yours in an afternoon if you spend it watching the leaves
 in the trees.
 
 Money is useless. Dollars can buy things online and pesos can pay for light
 labor. But that's about it, at least where I live.

 congratulations, you never need to adventure again. your necessities are taken
 care of.
 
 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
 being merry.
 
 no, you're an adventurer, you crave excitement and glory. whatever that means
 to you...
 
 just make sure a goblin doesn't come across your corpse, they have a VERY
 short term memory and a propensity for collecting shiny things. That's just
 asking for dragon-bait, and we don't want that in our area, no thank you. This

 you can take your magic pocket and see all that you can see... way over

 post until you can't anymore
 
 capitalism wants to drown your voice
 
 do not let it
 
 speak until you cannot speak
 
 then go do some pushups
 
 then find some friends
 
 then pitch a tent in the park
 
 then explain to the cops that you're not actually homeless and living there
 you're just trying to do this as a social statement because someone on the
 internet told you to
 
 then use your phone call to call your representative and complain about how
 much funding the police get
 
 then study law for 30 years because that's how long the government decided
 your life was worth
 
 by then you'll probably have figured out a better plan moving forward, so, use
 that one instead

 @user-1707 
 
 hey, I'm working on a project. Might need some python, I tend to prefer Lua
 but it's pretty similar. It uses fediverse software and cheap hardware, think
 raspberry pi's except risc-v
 
 also it might use distributed local LLMs not to generate text, that's garbo
 and lame and stupid. Instead it uses them to transform text, maybe even
 translate text, into a more summarized form. Intentionally losing data, like a
 jpeg compression but for text.
 
 Might need some python for that. To glue it all together. The "distributed"
 part is a whitelist, so we'd need to write that too. Various small little
 utilities like that for connectivity.
 
 oh also there's a one-way ethernet cable that connects two of the boards so
 we'd need to store some information (easy) and send some UDP packets (hard)
 
 anyway it's pretty neat, lmk if you want my contact details and I can tell you
 about it. I might even be able to pay you.
 
 (everything open source, no telemetry, no backdoors, everything private is
 encrypted, etc etc)

 okay, so, you could spend the next couple hours scrolling social media
 
 or you could go for a walk in the rain
 
 ... is it raining where you're at? I forget. Ah well whatever. You could go
 for a walk, whether or not it's in the rain, which surely would be a better
 use of your time. What are you gonna find on social media that you'll remember
 in a week? Hell, what will you remember tomorrow?
 
 my mother used to tell me that "television rots your brain" and, yeah, social
 media counts for that too. Thanks mom. I miss you.
 
 ... I could just call you, but it's the middle of the night for you. And
 probably for me, I guess, WINK
 
 in any case there's little to do today that can't wait for tomorrow. So why
 not go on a walk? Even if nothing happens, especially if nothing happens,
 it'll be good for you.

 @user-95 the scariest part is you don't need AI for any of that. people have
 been scamming with call centers in indonesia. election campaigns are
 essentially generalized information spreading machines. (whether mis, dis, or
 just... regular information) Marketing is an entire discipline dedicated
 toward making people believe something they previously did not - that product
 XYZ is worthy of their dosh. But it doesn't have to be like that, it could be
 using it's powers of analysis for good. But alas, if only we had an economic
 system that allowed for anything but a race to the bottom. I mean yeah racing
 is great when you're competing with a bunch of other nations, but c'mon do we
 really need to fight? Every inch of earth has been claimed. Let's just... draw
 a line in the sand and say "okay no more changes" and focus on more important
 things? Like climate change for example?

 could also have a neat visualizer for the data structures you'd build.
 
 [highly recommend that any programmer learn Lua, it's faster than you know]
 
 I name my variables after objects and patterns and I think that's normal
 
 "so wait, she's just not a believer in the rent-economy?" nope I think rent is
 too large of a portion of a person's budget, it prevents them from spending on
 things that would enable them.
 
 if landlords are too plentiful, their overall share will decrease. This has
 been practiced over the ages and the truth always winds up on the streets.
 
 homeless people often have just run away from home, with nothing but what they
 carried.
 
 cities should have private fountains in addition to public ones. With at least
 10 ft of pathway to each one. [I recommend closer to 20] they should have
 plants and glasses and stone and soil deposi[caches, but pronounched "stashes"]
 
 girl you are way too insane for this, why are you dreaming with all your
 lights on?

 @user-1209 
 
 people have been pretty stingy lately with hot dogs. kinda makes a racoon guy
 think there's not enough "pork" snacks circulating in the economy. oh look
 turns out like 50 people own 90% of the buns, which is why nobody can make
 anything edible anymore.
 
 yeesh how's a cool cat supposed to make money if people only offer you "jobs"
 that make "dollars" - what good is a dollar, and why do we need so many of
 them? I just want a house, just want food for myself and my cat. surely
 there's nothing wrong in that impulse, the desire to be as I am?
 
 people tend to work best on what interests them, and the hardest when they're
 otherwise bored. capitalist enslavement provides neither of those.

 in a place organized like capitalism, you go to university for four years (if
 you're lucky) and then work until you can't anymore. Then you're taken care of
 (if you're lucky) until you depart from this earth in peace.
 
 in my home, a home I've never lived, you'd stay at that university for as long
 as you'd like. you'd work whenever you liked, and if enough work wasn't being
 done then working would be made to feel more likable. then, when you're old as
 dirt (or whenever you'd like) you can depart from this earth as you please.
 
 when I die, bury me where I fall.

 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.

 It is usually better to spend points of dollars rather than goodwill.
 
 Save goodwill for when they have so much of it they are looking for someone to
 give it away from.
 
 When in distress, ask for dollars to be used on your behalf. When in
 celebration, ask for goodwill to be used on your behalf.
 
 I'm still trying to save capitalism, individualism, and our way of life from
 its own jaws as it eats it's own tale. Part of that means pulling the tail
 right back out, and another part is pulling the teeth back. Gotta do both.

 Nobody will tell you what to do, at least not until you ask. Be where they can
 see you, and you'll be given a task. If you can do it, say "BRB" - one moment,
 let me handle that for you.
 
 If you can't, say "good luck", and they'll find someone else who can.
 
 It's okay to pass a task off - if someone says "Here's what I need, gotta go"
 then you say "sure, yeah, I'll get someone on it" - then, go find someone to
 do it.

 I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that 100 bucks is useless. Totally useless.
 Sure it can get you some sandwiches, but it's not going to solve any problems.
 10,000 dollars is a convenience, and 100,000 dollars lets you chip in.
 projects are measured in millions of dollars, and only royalty or national
 importance deserves billions. Nobody has trillions of dollars. That number is
 reserved for the earth, of whom dollars we are borrowing.
