 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!

 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.

 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...

 Considering the fact that medical care is so expensive, surely that means the
 expertise, labor, materials, and infrastructural capability to address
 people's health and well-being is in tight supply.
 
 meaning, for things I can understand and live with, I should avoid seeking
 help because those resources could be applied toward some cause that can't be
 lived with, or is not understood. If it doesn't cause distress, don't touch it.

 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.

 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 dunno something less flashy but more "health care, housing, and climate
 change solutions"-y

 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

 everyone does, it's natural to rest.
 
 I slept like a rock last night because I rode my bike all day yesterday. Not
 ideal, I didn't have any useful dreams!
 
 There's a difference between downtime and freetime. Freetime should be spent
 toward something you care about, downtime is time spent recovering from the
 things you don't.
 
 I think in a better world, we'd only have freetime. Perhaps then we wouldn't
 need to feel so down in our time.
 
 I will use my freetime to build a world where we live as we define, that is my
 goal, that is what I care about.

 wanna know how to go underground?
 
 just... don't leave your apartment. let your roommates take out your trash and
 buy your groceries. don't open your windows and do nothing for as long as
 possible.
 
 hope you got lots of edibles... get in shape, will ya? don't waste the paper
 in your journals.
 
 not that I intend to do that or anything, but um. for the red states maybe?

 @user-641 
 
 it's practice. you never know when you might need to blend in. really it's
 just useful as discipline, good practice to be in. I think it's okay if we
 reduce our own functionality? actually? sometimes it's good to use different
 email clients. hey do you know how to mathematically encrypt things well
 neither do I because the designers of the computer system decided that wasn't
 a very common usecase I guess.. jmean it's not like they'd spend all that
 computer resources [THEY'RE SO FAST] on thinking about correlations in your
 predicted pathway narratively through life. "ah help I'm in a psyop" haha yeah
 we do those all the time "so uhhhh I guess we'll just talk to people and see
 how they do?" wow okay it's sure nice to be part of a civil government, I
 think we can find our way to the lumber producers just fine thank you very
 much.
 
 ... oops sorry, a baby did electronics arts (challenge everything) I'm a
 little silly don't mind me brb I gotta go see~

 they want you to start conflicts the way school shooters start conflicts. by
 bringing to school a pipe-bong.
 
 much better, I find, to start when everyone is a nod. make sure you're part of
 a wagon-wheel-spoke, or else you won't be on the right road.
 
 when the temperature increase is slow, measured, they can adapt to it
 
 when things go "crack" and "crumble", then the armored get stabbed by the
 humble guard.
 
 quickly but with serenity, this is the way to the gods.
 
 bring things that you know, just enough to make it even, and focus on the
 non-essentials.
 
 better to be prepared than flatfooted.
 
 a flash-point position is quiet a view of the scene! I think I know why I held
 a sword.
 
 to dive into the buildings, of course. blam blam still gets shot hmmm what if
 I had a bulletproof electric shield
 
 okay maybe I shoulda brought beer.
 
 I don't type things when I'm not at home. Sometimes I remember - sometimes,
 and only when the details won't hurt her. Walking is how I know, how she can
 remember. evil witch bastard

 stretch every day, exercise your arms, core, and legs on alternating days
 [first one, then the other, then the third, then either rest or restart
 depending on how you feel]
 
 flexibility is strength. strength gives you options. agility is speed,
 dexterity is precision, wisdom is accuracy.
 
 eat rice, beans, vegetables, and either oil or butter when you can. they work
 together to keep you healthy and nourished.
 
 be nice to creatures, whether they be animal or children or just sorta feral.
 
 spend time feeling adventurous. climb on things because you can. be sensible
 and courageous in all things. there's more to every moment than you remember,
 and there's more to every story than you hear.
 
 if you find something neat, share it with others. don't let it sit on a shelf.
 unless people come by to see it every so often.
 
 there are always people like you around. you are never alone when you are
 known.

 if you live in a place where it rains a lot you pretty much HAVE TO pick up
 any secret notes you find. Otherwise they'll get waterlogged overnight.
 
 Sometimes I like to put them somewhere shaded from the sky, sometimes I like
 to show them to a friend (but the friend never takes them, booooo) and
 sometimes I just keep them.
 
 "ah but aren't you worried about messing up drug deals and stuff" no, because
 most of the time "secret notes" are like "eggs milk bread chips salsa cheese"
 and it's like "hmmmm what could it mean"
 
 there's like, 2% of the time when they say something cool like "I know what
 you did" or "all your base are belong to us" or whatever and those are fun to
 hunt for. I usually try and put those somewhere shelted so they don't have to
 leave their habitat - sometimes it's hard to drop them as the author so they
 just sorta go wherever, but as a random passer-by I have the luxury of saying
 "HMMMM now where could THIS ONE go?" and that's nice because I can put them
 under an umbrella or whatevers rite

 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.
