 for the autistic / ADHD people in the audience, I recommend this:
 
 https://kinektdesign.com/products/gear-ring
 
 It's currently 90% off and when a company puts their stuff for sale at 90% off
 you know there's a reason. I bought mine more than a decade ago for 200+
 dollars, now they're 25$
 
 If I had a million dollars I'd make these the signet ring of my house, but
 alas I have but few dollars

 @user-95 one of the most empathetic people I ever met on VR chat was consoling
 me with their mic off while I was oversharing about some stupid things people
 did to me in the past. things that stupid me thought were okay and actively
 encouraged because I was stupid. anyway when their mic was off their body
 language spoke for them. I'll try that next time.

 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?

 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.

 what if we made marketing part of research and development
 
 I mean, they're the ones who need to know what products people tend to prefer
 right?
 
 so... for every ad give the consumers a choice. then you'll be able to tell if
 they prefer the red gameboy or the purple-see-through.
 
 frankly it just makes sense to have 50% of the income go to products and 50%
 to administration. I mean, what are all those executives up to anywho? Their
 joyrides on yachts are great for socialize, but are they really more
 productive than coffee-shops at noon?
 
 seriously like it's not that big of a deal to just... reduce their salary.
 
 unless it really is about greed? control? power?

 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

 pretend this is an allegory for social media.
 
 [it's not an allegory]
 
 yeah that's why I said pretend.
 
 okay imagine that you are sitting in a rock in a forest.
 
 far away, about 100 feet away, there are other people, but you can't see them
 because the underbrush is sooooo dense. they are also sitting on rocks.
 
 you can speak to them, and share your thoughts - but you don't know exactly
 where they're coming from because the sound has to bounce around off so many
 different plants and such.
 
 [that's not how that works] shut up
 
 so, if you want to say anything important, it's important to have the right
 tone, because people 2 or 3 clearings away can't really make out your words -
 but they might hear your tone if you yell very loud.
 
 the energy of the space you inhabit is the only thing that really matters. the
 words that you say are just snickering to a friend, but the expression on your
 face, the beating of the drum of your heart that reaches forth... that's what
 matters most.
