 I don't know who needs to hear this, but if your friend sends you a paragraph
 you don't have to respond with a paragraph.

 I guess I'm used to messaging applications where it's expected that you'll
 send what you're typing after every complete thought
 
 giving people space to return their own completed trains of... "thought" but
 without saying "thought" again because I just said it at the end of the
 previous... sentence? paragraph? idk anymore it feels weird to post like this

 I personally would love to have my friend's messages saved on my computer
 account. it'd be like a little time-capsule of them that I could randomly
 scroll through or maybe display a random message they sent whenever I opened a
 new terminal
 
 sorta like words, only applied to a message archive. that of a friend or loved
 one.

 are you about to delete a post that you thought was funny, but actually wasn't
 once you wrote it down and read it to yourself?
 
 STOP
 
 write it down on a post-it and put it under your desk or behind a drawer
 
 put it in a .txt file in a random directory on your computer
 
 send it as a text message to yourself
 
 write it down, take a picture of it, and then burn the paper
 
 y'know, typical stuff like that
 
 do this and I guarantee you won't regret it

Finally, trying to pivot towards Pacific northwestern native perennial plants (and self-seeding annuals) for food, medicine, and material; they're much more adapted to this region as far as sunlight, moisture, bungalow, microbial, avian, insect partner, and soil types are concerned, and that's not only take less work now to instigate and tend, but are much more equipped to handle the fungal infections, droughts, genetic biodiversity collapses, and fluctuating climates that are inbound.  the BRIT ethnobotany database is helpful in that regard, and given that it's based out of Texas and has gynecological herbs, it would be a really good idea for some of the tech queers in our community to duplicate a redundancy of it.

 Though, of course, can you ever be sure who is who they say they are? You must
 consider all messages anonymous by default, and unencrypted (untrustable) and
 yet impossible to ignore. Like the messages they had to ignore at Bletchley
 Park to avoid the suspicion that they'd figured out the secret code. You know
 how it goes.

 oooooo yeah I usually try and reply to my old post with any new information. I
 never get the chance to think the same thoughts twice because when I was
 younger I had problems with thought-loops where I'd think something like "darn
 I could have handled that social situation better" and before you know it I'd
 be rocking myself to sleep trying to stop thinking negative thoughts about
 myself.
 
 So I broke my brain a little and now I can't think the same thing more than
 once, which is part of why it's so hard for me to finish projects. Alas.

 Is this the kind of thing you want me to try and remember to accomodate or can
 you handle agreeing to disagree?"

 I posted my words text file all over the c it y today. not sure why. maybe I'm
 tired of this course and I don't want to let anyone down? Maybe I don't know
 what to do yet. Maybe nobody works with me because everyone's keeping it on
 the DL or whateverr?
 
 ... anyway enough typing, I'm going to go play a video game. like god intended.

 for every "I was there. I helped make it happen" we need at least a couple "I

 believe a belligerent, even if they're on the defensive.

 it sounds like you're having a real tough time. : (
 
 you can get through it, I know you can. On the other side is something warm
 and safe, but to get there it's going to be hard and painful. I don't know
 exactly what you're working with but if you want someone to talk to about it
 you can message me.

 I think it's ironic how I ended up posting a "things I almost posted"
 screenshot directory somewhere other than where I almost posted them.
 
 and all they saw were the outtakes.
 
 I bet they'd see a completely different point of me,
 
 but they never talk to me
 
 so they don't know me.
 
 oh well, alas, it's fine I'm sure I'm being designed.
 
 who can say, I am but at productive play, please react so I can do ongoing
 story. I learn from each and every encounter I encounterate.

 Thank you for adding context to what I posted. I now know better how and where
 to use it, if I ever do again. We shall see, I haven't yet read the

 gotta build the social infrastructure to get through this phase first, though.

 if you don't talk in public, then nobody knows you. If you change your profile
 picture, then everyone knows who was there when you changed it. when you
 change your name, then only people who recognize your face or your personality
 knows you.
 
 social media is for the speakers. everyone else lacks the sense of community.
 community is security.

 sitting on? They pretty much just share spots and keep all of the flock's eggs
 warm"
 
 but then I realized I should first say "did you know that chickens sit on eggs
 to keep warm" and I got a little sad because... chickens...

 if we're encouraged to boost our old toots then I should be allowed to post
 screenshots of my old Reddit posts, right?
a reddit post from a year ago with 728 upvotes titled: This system is literally insane but they try to make it feel like you're insane. from the subreddit /r/psychonaut.  submitted 1 year ago by Nervous_Ad_9687       125 comments   [–]nincomturd   66 points 1 year ago   Lots of very good and salient points, but what I don't understand is this random praise of Jeff Bezos. It's entirely incongruent with everything else you wrote.  If greed is one of the problems you mentioned, you cannot at the same praise Jeff. The praise of western culture as well was a bit incongruent, as it's inextricably linked to these problematic concepts. You even talk about the problem of how culture perpetuates itself at them individual household level and goes on to firmy the broader culture.  But other than that, you definitely highlighted much of the insanity we're living with. If those of us who similarly have the eyes to see them insanity were to collectively live our values and work with each other to do so, we'd build the greatest culture and society the world has seen. One day I hope we make it. [next comment] /u/ugathanki 7 points 1 year ago       amazon has provided a useful and valuable service with excellent follow-through      amazon is unethically abusing it's workers, it's competitors, and the environment      the priorities of the company are misaligned - valuing service over ethical behavior [ran out of characters, see next picture] part 2 of the description for screen readers, because I ran out of characters      the reason they are misaligned is because it is most desirable to do so for the company      the reason it is most desirable is because corporations are designed to maximize profit over value produced.      just as "income" is adjusted by "expenditures" to create "profit", so too must "profit" be adjusted by "impact" to create "value"      the problem is, nobody can define what "impact" means. it's essentially a vacant variable, leading corporations to assume that "profit" == "value"      we don't need to punish corporations or "eat the rich", we need to adjust their reward structures such that "profit" != "value"      another problem is in the internal structure of a corporation - if none of the employees are powerful enough to challenge their higher-ups, then people like Bezos accrete power      the pathway to liberation is empowerment of the workers. those workers will re-define the priorities of their workplace to fit their desires - with a little guidance, they can desire "diligence, dedication, and a passion for craftsmanship" over "big number go up brrrrrrrr" - hence, social media.  sorry for the highlighting, am stoned.

 That happens a lot with online people. You can only see one side of them, the
 side they present to the camera, and so it's difficult to find new ways of
 looking at them. Hopefully you can find the brighter sides of this person! I'm
 sure they exist, unless the person is spiralling. Then they'll often be
 pushing themselves first one way, then the next, but both directions point
 down... And that produces the ":(" feeling. Good luck!

 I don't think I've ever appreciated a notification Steam has sent me about my
 friend's playing games. If they wanted to play with me they would text me.
 
 It does, however, make me think about video games more. And seeing their name
 makes me think of them, which makes me feel closer to them without actually
 interacting. Which is kind-of an anti-behavior, like facebook stalking
 except... paying attention to what your friends are playing and when and how
 much and... not good.
 
 I know a lot of people who are permanently offline on Steam because of reasons
 like that. But, of course, they can still see everyone else, which feels like
 an anti-pattern...

 dear-anakin
 
 (sorry I put the same image four times, I needed to get the whole thing into
 the alt-text)
 
 (maybe pictures aren't the best medium for sharing text)
dear anakin. the path through this is to realize that obi-wan can defeat sidious. If the two of you attacked him, with Yoda (who he doesn't know lives) could defeat Sidious in a duel.  ... wait, no I mean dear anakin. the path through this is to realize that sidious betrayed the entire galaxy. he caused mass murder with the countless displays of dead civiilians. people lived in fear. the galaxy was at war. countless clone warriors fell to a glorious end, countless more were sucked into the vacuum of space or consumed in some fiery hell-hole (explosion).  ... I've said too much. NOW YOU KNOW of fourth dimensionals.  ... hang on, I was saying dear anakin. the path through this is to consider the wisdom of a dying man's eyes. He looked at you and said "we desired peace!" He said it with pleading eyes, and... no, that's not right, he said "Sidious promised us PEACE." and he realized that they truly played this like a game. Something to get better at, continuously improving, just like their BATTLE DROIDS. They constantly improved, but still the ingenuity of the clones helped them outlast. And they were defeated, when their torrential rains of metal monsters wielding laser fists and cacophanous consumes finally ceased.  ... wait, that's not what I meant to say either. Let's try again: dear anakin, the path through this is to think of the nature of evil. Evil consumes! It consumes even you! Can you not feel it, this shifting and sinking feeling, as if you are PULLED into a BLACK HOLE of destruction and despair. NOTHING persists beyond the horizon of time, and yet the shades of those who TRIED still cling to this earth as if they could ever breathe again. STARVE out the darkness inside you! Please I beg of you! Never surrender the light of your life! Nothing will survive you and your wrath, I plead for you, come back to the ones who love you! Obi-wan is your brother, anakin, you are more precious than the force!  it's not about you. it's not about you. it's not about you.  anakin, hear me now, I have been inspired by your tales of valor and prescient conscience. I've felt the struggles of your heart, I've heard the stories and songs. Kindness comes easy to you, and you're quick to think on your feet. You are a paladin of the light, and nothing can assail you.  yet darkness has creeped into your heart. Fear not, dear knight, for darkness can consume you. What better foe to face than the dampening of all duration? please, allow me to read you a poem. I've been told it rhymes in it's native tongue. I wrote it myself.  "*can you not sense this feeling? this sinking, shifting feeling that lies within and beyond. Like a hitherto unseen force slowly arresting our movements as the sands of time run dry.  can you not feel the days getting longer? as if the motion of our planet was fading, yet no more fragments of sunshine do we gather. There are no more hours in the day, none yet collected, but still are we prone to languish. the distance between breaths is lenghening still, but no more air are we receiving. like layers of sediment settling to the ocean bed, our will and our vision grows muted. between decisions and events there is ample time to spare, and our dreams grow far beyond our share. the reach we may tender and barter for our pleasure, has nothing to do with our salvation. what choices have we? when everything's free? to rebel against our ownst of nature? you can't condemn the opulent to the role of our savior.*"

 Don't give up!
 
 At least... not forever.
 
 It's okay to take a breath every once in a while
 
 It's okay to lie down and cry
 
 The only way away from those feelings is through. They've enveloped you. You
 need to swallow them whole, like a sponge soaking up dirt[y water]
 
 the only thing you need to think about is what's around you. It's okay to be
 alone for a moment, it's the best time to feel.
 
 Remember, feeling is how you know the world! It's your power, to feel, and I
 know it's hard. Everyone has different powers, but yours is this.
 
 You'll be okay, I know it

 Look, when I promised "Revolution or Death" I got pretty busy and kinda forgot
 to do the "dying" part, and by now it'd be a little awkward if I offed myself
 for no visible reason, so... How about we try again this summer? Maybe in a
 month or two? I'll try to keep the fire burning a bit longer this time.
 
 plus I'm better at playing the piano now so maybe that'll help somehow.

 I haven't heard of that but I'll look into it! Honestly I'm more likely to
 write my own script, it shouldn't be too hard just altering the /etc/hosts
 file and then changing it back in ~15 minutes with a cron-job, as Nikky says
 down below. I like things that I make myself because then if it breaks I know
 who to blame! And who to go to to fix it. >: )

 I love the concept of this! Maybe if HTTP is too complex, you could try
 another simpler server? I don't know the complexity of the programs I use
 every day, but I'm sure there's one that's very simple. Even just a simple IRC
 style chat server that just... sends text from person A to person B depending
 on their username (like a glorified Router or Switch)

 do it in a random color each time! Here's my implementation for viewing txt
 files colorfully:
some bash computer code which first picks a random color, and if the color is a bad combination (like, black front and black back, meaning you can't see the lines of the letters) then it redoes it and tries to pick a better one randomly. It'll keep trying until it gets a correct combination but honestly there's only like one or two bad ones that don't look so great

 my problem is figuring out which thoughts are intrusive and which are actually
 mine
 
 I usually err on the side of "would you want your sister to do this" or "how
 would you feel if your mom told you that" or "do you think a cute sweet soft
 cat would ever think such a thing" and that usually works.

 I do it like a kid who forgot the paper was due on monday in 7th period and so
 spends their entire lunch period writing it (missing 4th in the process
 because the conclusion paragraph was giving me difficulty)
 
 but I think no matter how you do it, we're all just waiting for something to
 happen.

 one of the greatest gifts LSD gave me was the ability to look in the mirror
 and see a person beyond me.
 
 your reflection has all the same emotions as you, and if you look at them like
 you'd try to parse the feelings of a friend, you can learn a bit more about
 how you're thinking.

A screenshot of a chatGPT conversation  the user asks "How about politically? Are they a radical individual?"  the web search results filtered through a large language model replies: "Based on the public information, there is no public record of Ritz Menardi's political views or affiliations. Their online presence primarily focuses on technology, music, and creative writing, without any indication of radical political beliefs or activities."

 true, but what is a poem if not a silly construction of phrases? Those words
 don't belong together, what are you doing! And yet it fills you will a feeling
 that the author intended, thus being poetry as a joke.
 
 problem is if everyone says the same joke, it gets kinda... old... hence why
 you should express yourself as much as you can.
 
 I wonder if fewer people are "alternative" these days because they all started
 hanging out on the internet and trying to differentiate themselves amongst
 each other instead of amongst "normal people"? Weird thought, srry haha

 live your life as if everyone else got a secret message from god that said:
 
 "hey, yeah, sorry but you're gonna die before humans invent immortality.
 Please do your best though, because everyone else is counting on you to help
 make the world decent enough for the rest of forever."

 social media clients that don't return you to the same spot you were at when
 you hit the back button -.-
 
 but then also make it needlessly complicated to open links in a new tab, like
 obfuscating the location you need to cast "middle click" on

  I really hate "two factor" auth.  Like, cool, I get it, it let's you pretend you can divest responsibility for security and recovery, but also it means dropping my phone too hard could be a life disrupting event so somehow I don't really feel like this is for my benefit.

 I don't know who needs to hear this after staying up all night driving, but
 it's ideal to get where you're going with at least a day to rest. The body can
 only do so much, and isn't it better to be fresh?

 just gonna say you probably deserve that particular screenshotted block haha -
 imagine calling anarcho-nina a fed xD xD
 
 plus that first "get the fuck out of my mentions" was a tip that went over
 your head, not a threat said in anger. she's pretty darn angry but that just
 means you don't wanna be in her way =P
