Insurance does not ensure your health
it just ensures the doctor that you can pay
unrelated, but I just went to the urgent care and they turned me away. they
don't accept the state insurance. the nearest place that does is a much longer
bike ride away, and for a person in the heat with a damaged leg... I think
I'll take an uber.

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.

don't take on more than you can handle. if your plate is full, don't check out
the notes by the roadside. Doing so tells all the nearby drivers "hey I need a
job, anyone got anything for me?" which they'll then drop off further along
the route to your house.
if you just walk on by then nobody will notice as you head home.

need an appointment or anything. There's often something going on, and if not,
then you can at least wander around. maybe strike up conversations about
industries you're in or things that you are thinking about lately or stuff you
like like plant species or rock types or multidimensional solids or spheric

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.

I feel like hip injuries are one of the biggest concerns with stairs, right?
Because you fall on your butt usually. Unless you're like, super inebriated or
something.
Better infrastructure would help, but better infrastructure doesn't currently
exist, while helmets are cheap and can be mandated (for a time).
I usually either keep my helmet on, or loop the buckles through my bike lock
and just leave it by my bike. Maybe someone could make an accessory to lock it
to the bike on a specialized holder or something? If mandated, such a device
would probably be quite desirable.
"Those who would trade a bit of liberty for a bit of security deserve neither"
yeah yeah okay maybe mandates in general aren't great, but like... maybe we
should ask the fire department or trauma surgeons or other kinds of first
responders and see how they feel about helmets...

Portland's metro is nice because you can pay for your train / bus ticket by

I personally think if you have stuff right here, and it needs to get over

taken to other places, then the answer is clear. The stuff has to move from
over here, to over there. The rest is logistics, not economics.

that's totally fine, a fish does not do well in a tree, and so too does a
leftist not do well in an environment without the potential for stable bonds.
Essentially all you'd be able to do is "hey leftism right?" "oh yes I also
leftism" "neat" which isn't very productive.
I also live in an environment like that. I do my best to identify people who
stay, because in my experience there are often people who stay. I do this by
walking around the neighborhood when I can, making up excuses to walk to the
dumpster or mailbox at random hours, riding my bike around the area, using the
communal spaces like gyms, swimming pools, and picnic tables, and sitting in
my hammock on my porch lazily noting people who walk past.
People who stay will tend to remain in your mind the more times you see them.
They are better people to talk to than the renters who disappear after 3
months or whatever.
I don't always do all that stuff at once. I take breaks. I do one at a time.

I made two friends, and I let a stranded stranger crash on my couch. I figure
if I can trust someone I don't know enough for, say, a one-night-stand, then
why not? don't worry, I used my best judgement. make sure you do, too.
also I got a knife under my pillow. helps a bit.
before the fireworks show, I saw some people under a bridge. I was given a
water-bottle and a shrimp kebab, and it was delicious! things I overheard:
"no I haven't heard of that, but I'd like to know more"
... actually that's it, I didn't spend much time there because I had places to
be. but from what I saw, that is exactly what we need. for now.

doctors (the ones who are diagnosing autism) don't care about classifying
people. I personally don't believe they should.
Instead they try and classify symptoms, and if you don't present any negative
symptoms then there's little reason to talk to a doctor. Meaning little reason
to seek out an autism diagnosis except for curiosity.
I was the kid you were describing btw, except maybe with a bit of neglect
thrown in around ages 4+

if you live in a city, probably not. They put them in fake buildings with

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

the government doesn't want you using solar panels because then the coal and
gas infrastructure won't be able to consume coal and gas, and everyone knows
that using resources as fast as possible is surely the best and most
productive use of our state's time
like, subsidies exist. they could just... make it cheaper, but instead they're
stuck doing... nothing of value

when you're out in the rain, it's natural to take your clothes off. but then
they rob you while you're blind (sleeping) or otherwise pre-occupied like by
being in the rain without any clothes on because it's more comfortable to keep
your clothes dry inside of doors (cabinets in the wood) (mounted to trees or
soil or walls) and then you gotta find your own (we keep them in stores)

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
is a nice neighborhood you see, my neighbors three miles away all agree, so
you can take your magic pocket and see all that you can see... way over
yonder, if you please.

one of the perks of layering like this is if you ever need to share clothes
with someone slightly larger than yourself, you can! Doesn't work so well with
smaller, though.
Also if you get hot indoors because some people think we need to run heaters
24/7 (???) then you can just remove a layer or two. it's the most versatile
way to clothe oneself.

when I stretch, it feels like I'm finally getting blood flow to my farthest

when I work out, it's like I'm pumping health through my body. but only when
I'm in a rhythm. when I'm going for very long, I get hallucinations like I'm
stoned. I once walked for 3 days straight with 2 hours of rest, plus standing
every time I crossed the street waiting for cars. never sitting though. and a

factories don't have to be fully automated. you can have workers in a big
building on several different floors with an open atrium style so they can
pass parts back and forth through the middle. Even little drones could solve a
lot of problems, but tiny rail-carts along the walls tend to be nicer because
they're quieter and such. "take this flash drive to so-and-so" or "can you
bring me a hut of hot coa-coa"

if so, then don't think about it too hard, you might need disability too!
speaking as someone who needs disability aid but can't get it because of
restrictions like this (also can we talk about the multi-year process to
secure such rights, like c'mon rent's due every MONTH) I have to say that
you're right, it's bullshit, UBI for all, disability benefits for those who
need more, and employment for people who believe a cause is worthy enough to
apply themselves towards it.

a shockingly large amount of people think "if my people were in power,
things'd be all okay [groupthink]". The truth is more similar than you'd
expect, because whenever "a group takes over" what really happens is all the
groups are shuffled, and people find themselves in social bubbles that align
to their focus in life, and suddenly there's not "[y/our]" side but instead
"this side and that side" or "that side and this side and that side and this
side" or "that side and this side and her side and downside and rightside and
[up/down] and pivot and roll and deploy aieriolons and other things that help
the pilot guide their flight through the spacesound.
