 Stuff like that made me want to become a lawyer.
 
 I didn't, because while I can memorize a D&D textbook I can't recall much
 about legal rulings unless it has something to do with swords.

 I made a picture, hope it helps! I swear I didn't hallucinate this thing but
 it might be less cool than I thought and I might have misremembered and made
 up parts of it, I can't tell because it was such a short memory : (

 @user-95 that's why I like programming - it's my favorite form of spelling.
 i'm not very good at remembering all the names and the numbers, but I like to
 think I can make things do a function.

 Do you ever wonder why you can't remember anything after being stoned? Why the
 words you write down, oh so profound in the moment, turn to silliness and
 illusion upon coming off your high mont-vantage? Of course, dear reader,
 because all things are defined in waves.

 okay I really need to get going. It's too easy to scroll mastodon looking
 for... um, "memes"
On the plains, it's easier to pass through a large country than a small one. In forested or mountainous areas, the opposite is true - they are large, wild, and untamed, and thus difficult to get through.  I am not personally prepared for violence, but that doesn't mean I won't tell you why to do it.  Talk to veterans for tactics and discipline.  Don't be worried, be *cautious*. Caution is actionable.  To convert from worry to caution, think about what is within your zone of control.  If you swim in the deep red sea, assume that all of your actions will be perceived

 I wonder what would happen if I scheduled weekly ride-alongs with the cops
 near me and I taught them how I believed.
 
 I bet they'd get sick of me, but, I'm a law-abiding citizen, so they could do
 me no harm.
 
 I wonder if I could get through to a few?

 hello, I am an ant if @, but you can't touch me, because I am a law abiding
 citizen.
 
 I have to be, for I am loud.
 
 ... okay I stole a movie from the internet at least once.
 
 also when I was 11 I walked out of a store with a keychain in my pocket. I
 thought it had a nice texture so I was examining it and then my mom distracted
 me and somehow it ended up in my pocket. That night will forever haunt me...
 She wouldn't let me take it back...
