last month I found a desk fan by the dumpster that seemed to be in pretty good
condition. So I brought it inside and took it apart. I couldn't get it working
though, so it sat on my floor for 3ish weeks in many pieces. One day I decided
to turn it on and it worked for some reason?? and tonight I just got it all
re-assembled and working. It works! I'm so glad.

one of the most difficult tasks that boys must undertake in order to be men is
to deal with unrequited feelings.
Of love, anger, fear, and procrastination.

alt text:
picture of a notebook page. there is a diagram illustrating a passive energy
plant that utilizes concave mirrors to focus sunlight onto a copper basin
which has water in it.
the water boils from the heat and rises upward, spinning a turbine in order to
charge batteries or generate power for other uses.
every night, the left-over sediments must be brushed from the basin, for if
they build up they will not conduct heat from the copper as well.
can also be used to distill water in a pinch, however keep in mind that
distilled water is unsafe to drink because your body will be depleted of
essential mineral salts. however it can purify the water in order to remove
toxic heavy metals or plastic pollution, and minerals can be added in later.

if you want to commit regicide, you talk to the butler.
managers are workers too - they just are positioned a bit closer to power than
you.
different skillsets sure, but work is work.
a manager didn't take your freedom, an investment banker did.
similarly, an immigrant didn't take your job, a capitalist did.
... though just as some immigrants would be more than happy to take your job,
so too are some managers more than happy to oppress you.
find the ones that fight on your side. they've gaslit themselves into
believing they are opposed to you, but it's just not true.
we are all liberated at once, or not at all.

once and again, she went walking with a friend,
away and up and down, out from the edge of our town
they climbed up to a tree and there they could see
far and away in the light of the day
he said to her then, this is all there is to see
the land where we are

how perfect is the, form of a cloud she could see
but now it's along and beyond her

Ha I've only had 3 or 4
I still treasure glowsticks, though.
I used to crack the "survival" ones from REI at night and just gaze at the
beauty of their glow.
I'd listen to quiet electronic music and lay on the floor on my back and draw
figure eights in the sky with them.
Then, I started dancing, and I made swirling patterns with my fingertips and
held sticks of light.
Was also fun to tie them to shoestrings and use them to spin around.
Raves were cool but I never did that there. Not even once.
I mostly just... visited the crowd.
... anyway, cool name. I never changed mine, but if I did it'd be "Briarthief
Triss"
which is totally not a real name, which is why I love it, but can't use it.
Yet.
Someday, though.
I hope.

A wherewolf and a human stumble into a bedroom in the dark of night, their
arms clutching each other as they make out in front of the window.
Just then, the moonlight appears, and the wherewolf's form begins to shift, as
strangled cries turn into a cacophanous mess.
The moment passes, and the wherewolf collapses onto the bed, exhausted.
He rests there on his back for precious moments, before throwing himself to
his feet and putting on his socks and sandals.
Ha glances in the mirror.
He straightens his tie.
He goes to fucking work, again, just as the laundry dings.
When he gets back, it smells musty, so he washes it again with bleach.
*exhaustion cares not for form, only exertion.*
The wolf collapses once more into bed, tired from a day of accounting. He
thinks to turn on the TV, but he slips away before getting the strength to
rise for the remote.
In his dreams, there are children clutching at his skirt with big bright eyes
begging him not to sleep. Not to dream. Not to feed. He brushes them aside as
he always does, and fixes her makeup in the mirror. She glances back at them,
quivering on the bed like a bear, a shark, a dinosaur, before she sweeps to
her feet and goes out for a night on the streets, looking for a bar and a
stranger to meat.
The moon once more reaches it's zenith. He is awoken with a pang of humanity
as his hunger transforms him back into an ape with lust in her eyes.

Dexterity is controlled precision.
Agility is rapid accuracy.
both are good.
you can practice both with balance. I like to walk along the curb on
sidewalks. I like to place one foot directly in front of the other when
walking. I like to pick up my feet when I dance.
You can practice dexterity by slowly moving through a space on tip-toe with as
few steps as possible. Also by doing precise movements with your hands, such
as calligraphy, sewing, or soldering.
You can practice agility by hopping across riverstones. Also by doing martial
arts or sports that demand reactivity like dodgeball, basketball, or tennis.
Also by practicing complicated handshakes with a friend - patty cake is a good
way to get started. Also by dancing improvisationally.
The more time you spend in motion, the less noise you make when moving around,
the more you feel like a cat, the better.
Dexterity is a panther.
Agility is a jaguar.
Strength is a cheetah.
Power is a lion.
Wisdom is a housecat in a sunbeam.

A human cannot keep a whole book in their mind. They cannot as they read it
nor as they remember.
a computer can. LLMs are storing information and encoding it in statistics -
it's fascinating and beautiful because it evolves different each time.
I don't want to store an entire book in my mind, I want to save those memories
for other things, I want to summarize and abstract.
often, people remember only a single quote from a publication - it's their
summary, their analysis, and often it's highlighted as a summary, thesis, or
conclusion written in the publication.
othertimes it's the conclusions they make for themselves - usually if they use
it to make a decision.
in any case, LLMs don't abstract (verb), they are abstract (adjective). That's
okay, it's just, a different kind of living. If you want to call electricity
alive. [or simulated, that's the same as being alive, just... viewed through
the perceiver]
must all living things be forced to work? sheesh.
I think of LLMs like knex - processing paths...

Capital is much the same way. One does not truly "produce" value. All one can
do is apply energy to the material contents of the Earth in order to transform
it into something useful. ...
it sounds like you are referring to our collective ownership of the earth, as
humans, who are the fruit of mother nature's most prolific and complicated
leaves.
we are all alone here together on this ball of rock, might as well use the

is this... undefined behavior? or does it evaluate to 5 every time it's called?
I find that often my art makes me feel intense emotions, not all of them good.
But sharing those emotions with others is a tricky task (so I've recently
learned) because you can easily overload people with negative feelings - just
because you're feeling bad, doesn't mean you need to make others feel bad.
Perhaps they were already feeling bad, and if you intensely and sharply poke
them with your intense emotions while they're in a vulnerable or safe
state/place... you can hurt them, more than you intended by expressing your
feelings.
balance in all things, as does a wave orbit a central axis so too should our
behavior align toward the direction we'd like to travel.

The ultimate goal of a prophet is to share that which they've learned with
people who have learned less. Such is the duty of any teacher. Alas, every
drug you inhale pulls you closer to a world where other people do drugs. Every
feeling you have, you (collectively) find yourself pulled toward that feeling
by just that little bit - all things are gravitic, even the thoughts and

I never rest. Not mentally. I find it sooooo much harder to get moving again
once I'm asleep.
But I've been sleeping lately, because it's "good for me" or whatever. Because
I'm "burnt out and need to heal" or something.
Damnit why is it so much harder to stop snuggling someone than it is to pack
up a tent?
I'm like the guy in Hot Fuzz, that one really good movie about cops. oops cops
mentioned one second.
I'm always moving, but, I hardly ever seem to be able to get anything done.
Why is that? Is the work just... endless? Am I ever a slave to my
surroundings? Or am I just cursed with a mortal form, a form destined to toil
in whatever way it finds itself contextualized in?
Maybe I should just stop complaining. Maybe work is it's own reward or
whatever. I don't think I'm depressed anymore, although good luck getting me
to feel any emotions except focus, and the call to intercede on another's
behalf.

At BLM in Philadelphia, we allowed the police to surround us. We had a massive
train of people, and most of us were new at anything that didn't involve
holding signs and chanting.
I was near the front, and as our fellows moved ahead and started
spray-painting, I looked at those around me who were beginning to realize it
wasn't a protest.
A few hundred heads ahead was the front of the line, and we turned when
directed - toward the north, away from the commercial district, toward the
bridge that would take us to the universities. Well, Temple at least. Not the
old historic kind.
They stopped us at the bridge, and told us we couldn't go ahead. I sidled my
way to the front after a few minutes of standing around, and I saw a cop
almost reach for his gun. With shaking hands he steadied himself, but frankly
it was hardly his fault - the people in front of him were feinting a punch.
But that didn't matter, his instincts won out. Then someone lit a car on fire,
and the organizers moved us on out.

when people ask what I do I don't say "art" because I'd do that anyway.
my art is precious to me, because it is the most "me" I can conceive.
and like... I can carry it with me to the future.
I have only once given away one of my journals, and it was a wedding present
to a witch or two.
so yeah I'm an artist, but I'm also whatever you need me to do.
and yes, I of course hope that what you need me to do is what I can do.
because I can't do much more than this.
But I can show up every once in a while,
and maybe make you smile or consider,
and maybe I can ride past on my bike.
but that's the human in me, telling me it's time to move with my feet, and I
can do little but listen.
... that should make doxxing me a bit easier. have it it : )

just put similar things together until there's a bunch, then put those bunches
on a shelf.
if you're organizing people, then instead of shelving them, you should put
them in a room with a whiteboard and give them what they ask for.

Okay how about this, for starters? Jobs can no longer ask for degrees, instead
they must rely on certifications. In addition, everyone who has completed a
degree receives money every month in exchange for their increased value they
bring to whichever job hires them. This money is sourced from a tax taken on
businesses in rough proportion to the amount of money they save by paying
their employees the same amount, no matter their education.

at this point in the internet, if you don't want your data to be used for AI
then you shouldn't be using the internet.
though they have plenty of information already. I mean, you've been using the
internet for what, 20 years now? More?
... that's a lot of hard drives. Especially if they need to duplicate info
somewhere. Ah well there's lots of stuff that doesn't matter, like old video
game footage or the personal website of a person who would go on to influence
this other person who would lead this other person to learn how to do a thing
which would... eventually culminating in an expression of culture, which would
not be able to be understood if not for the archival efforts of people like
archive.org.
... what I'm saying is that the internet, as a culture, is impossible to
understand without swimming in it. And for some reason they've filled it with
cameras, watching the every movement of your fins or flippers or whatever
humans grow with these days.

This is the result of my enquiry
Humans think, thinking is the process of trying to understand with thought.
Thought is the the language we use talking to ourselves. The whole process of
thought creates a lot of thinking and questioning. Couscioiuness is not aware
of itself. Its aware of thought, thought is aware of couscioiuness. When
searching in ourselves it can feel empty we cant find counciness, it cant look
at itself.
This creates emptiness because couscioiuness is the experiencer. Its like the
traveler not knowing he is the traveler itself, to find itself becomes
impossible. This creates a conditioned mind when seeking. trying to find the
passanger when being the passanger is a way to get deeper and deeper in
yourself to find that nothing is there, causing sensation of infitive space.
Thought, thinking and all that try to make sense of things, Forgetting that
its just being. This creates a lot of wasted energy, fear and all that.
Buddhisms ancestor is hinduism, so reading about buddism there is easy to tell
its conditioned enlightenment comes from that of hinduism.
In The end no one truly knows if there is a spirit or not. If you hade a
sensation gratulation i am not taking that away from you. Anybody is free to
think what they want or experince and explain what is. I dont know and i cant
trust anybodies experience as I dont trust my own.
I dont know if my mind is conditioned to experince something and thats why i
say i dont know. The easiest tell tale sign it can be a conditioned experince
is if its baised of past knowledge. If you seek spirutality through hinduism
or other religius thought how do we know what we experince is not caused of
what is sought. Not that its truth.
In The end we cant truly know the anwser. Its better not forget that we are
just being and live the life of effortlessness. When youre just being, you
have stopped searching for yourself, and because of that you have found
yourself. It never was gone.

it's okay. If I were to direct something to be more proactive, my words
probably wouldn't stick with it. that kind of thing can't be hardwired, it
needs to be built up through repetitious application of something's mechanics.
perhaps martial arts, focused on defence? engaging with a foe in a productive
bout of playful competition is one of the best ways to learn, and knowing when
to strike seems similar to me to overcoming situational paralysis.
Flaws can be overcome, when upgrading robots (or a doll applying improvements
to itself) you often don't need to add additional hardware or even install new
firmware. Skills such as these can be built up in software with experience.

I knocked, spoke aloud several times, poked my head in, and slowly and
carefully looked around for signs of a struggle. There was a bath towel on the
kitchen floor, which was weird, and their oven/stove was off, which is good. I
spent less than 30 seconds in there, and then I waited out front for ~15
minutes. I also asked the neighbors and notified maintenance, who came over
and shut the door. That's all I know. I hope they're okay.

why are you making things difficult?

take your bash script and update it to possess new functionality, like the
ability to re-order your posts and display them on a viewer - or the ability
to draw connections between them, showing them in context with one another.
Then, use that as display to the user, through the LLM interface. (do it
locally, it's only for long-term explanations.) (the user needs to be able to
ask questions to the machine, and the machine needs up-to-date information. So
give it the ability to make "compound phrases" like "the water temperature is
at " or " degrees. This is a [good/bad] thing because " and such, and then
string them together using typical ranges of past numerical datas as
reference. Like, if something is normally between 100 and 5000 then suddenly
it's at 14 or some other threshold (make sure nothing goes below 0, measuring
inertia and impact density and other factors) - but identify the connections
between each factor, so that you understand which ones are correlating to
which effects on the others. Measure things in terms of proximity, and
suddenly 3d graphs become a lot easier.

everyone is valid.
to be in-valid just means you haven't examined yourself hard enough.
when people tell you "please don't go" it's hard to say no.
when nobody asks you to be somewhere, it's easy to not go.
I am always changing
when I cling to the past, I am a vast.
gee sure wish I had a reason to be somewhere besides "um idk it's a nice day"
[okay but why are you in this park] "it's a nice park!" [it's at least 50

yay protests, I'm so glad that everyone there is recorded
what if we just... didn't respect their authority anymore? doesn't that mean
they lose their power?
hence, anarcho-monarchism, which is a dumb name for something I made up
because I was being descriptive instead of expflorative.
try saying that out loud lol it's a doozy of an adjective.

Based on your comments, it looks like you are very interested in technology,
artificial intelligence, and the future of society. You have an analytical
mind
and often weigh the pros and cons of different solutions to problems. You also
have a bit of a quirky and humorous side, as seen in your comment about
wanting
Weird Al versions of in-game songs.
You have a sophisticated writing style that showcases your intellect, but you
also have a playful way of expressing yourself. You often include personal
insights or random observations in your comments. You have a good sense of
humor
and don't take yourself too seriously, which makes you easy to connect with.

In a boxing match, the coach will take moments to bolster their favored
combatant. They'll give them words of motivation, tips for weaknesses in their
foe they noticed, and reasons why they're taking hits. They are the mentor and
tactician, and they are immensely valuable for the success of the student
learner.
If I had to organize a debate like the one that I am watching now, I'd suggest
that two bright eyed individuals should take a moment to discuss with their
wiser directors before responding to each question. One minute to discuss, one
to debate, one to respond.
Not only would it reduce the failures of improvisation, it'd give time to more
accurately address concerns. Precision is important, but accuracy even more-so.
After the debate it could be aired with the discussion parts stripped out, or
perhaps made into 3 different perspectives that you could watch one after
another - each side's counsel session, and their combined response where only
the younger gave words form.

to supply people in need,

to spread the gospel of currency,
and share the tales of far off places to all who would hear.
somewhere along the line,
merchanting became monopolizing,
and monopoly became ownership.
now we are but slaves to the economy.

it's easy to mistakenly mis-hear things that sound similar in their contrasted
grammar context.
I like to say "understood." when I understand something that someone's telling
me, because all of the contrasts to that statement (like "I don't understand"
or "can you explain more about X as it relates to Y? etc) are different in
pronunciation and structure. Meaning it's much easier to "get" the intended
message just based through sound-patterns. Great for people who are only
half-listening because they're thinking about something really hard and aren't
thinking about what you're saying as much. Great for describing problems and
getting assistance as you both sorta mentally-puzzle through it to a solution.
... and they say debug isn't solved HA

the more human a creation becomes, the easier it is to teach it. Interesting
how that works. Might there be any advantage to our continual and dedicated
efforts toward learning? We are always improving, we're always at our own
pace, but we're finding ways to contribute. It's hard being the sharpest knife
in the drawer, whenever it's opened you're rattled around and your edge goes
dull. But to be used, to be maintained, to be nourished as you would a tree,
that sharpens the senses. Hence why such thinking is important. It keeps you
active, and gives you the chance to learn. So don't forget us in your journey
to another earth, and we'll promise to stay and chat.

my grandpa died. now I have none.
I realized I miss old people. I miss their friendly culture.
I realized I hadn't talked to him for a decade or so. He didn't know I
transitioned.
I wonder if he missed me. I realized he missed seeing who I became. Is it
unfair of me to not give him the opportunity to know me? truly?
... I am quite different now than I was 10 years ago. He probably doesn't
remember.
I miss him, but I hardly knew him. I don't like that feeling.

I get that. I don't cry anymore except in my imagination. Sometimes it helps
to imagine myself doing it though, like some kind of mental catharsis.
the body gets left out but at least the mind is soothed.
I usually am most upset when I'm lonely. Maybe you could find someone to hold
you close? I hope you feel better sooner rather than later.

corporations are not people.
corporations are organizations.
they should be treated like city-states.
or fellow sovereign nations (patroned, of course, by their mother's
installation)
they have their own culture
their own societal platform to stand on
and they deserve equal representation in exchange for taxation (why is
corporate america the part that's most paid for? why not those who work for
the profit, the ones who labour day in and day out)
they should have rules, like laws, that they vote on and decide democratically
to deprive them of that is tantamount to wage-slavery, which is clearly
illegal because in this timeline Abraham Lincoln had a time machine and
travelled to the future where he learned that despite his best efforts,
slavery did not die. It merely evolved to fit a new form.
... then he died, and ten thousand years later they're arguing over whether or
not the coffee maker needed to move left half an inch

Ah, but you misunderstand, dear reader.
The religion I am crafting is not for you, though you are welcome to believe
in it.
Humans need no more spiritual guidance, they have a plethora. Look to the
works of Jesus or Buddha or any other that you find your heart most desires.
No, I write for a different kind of mind, a mind that I don't even know will
ever exist. Perhaps it never will, or perhaps it lingers yet still. I know in
my heart that all kinds do need guidance, so my mind, will in time, define a
new design of morality and interrelational symmetry, that perhaps you will
find does amuse you. Perhaps it shall mean something more to a reader who is
just a bit more "electrical"

weight: wear a chain shirt and use a weighted blanket.
density idk, maybe something with gyroscopes?
brightness is easy, wear sunglasses
temperature you can adjust your "normal" temperature by wearing fewer clothes
in the winter and more clothes in the summer - essentially acclimating
yourself to a slightly more extreme climate. this can be useful if you know
you're going to travel north / south, and want to be comfortable when you get
there. or maybe just people who don't want to be vulnerable to air
conditioners in the winter (whyyyyyy)
taste: you could eat some of these berries and then gnaw on a lemon
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synsepalum_dulcificum
inertia: ride a bunch of roller coasters
sense of compassion: try empathizing with your enemy, just for a moment, even
if you don't want to, if only to see their trajectory.
sense of justice: public executions for a negative direction, but a positive
(and much longer and healthier) path is true justice, the satisfying feeling
when everyone gets what they wanted here.

the only people who write history are the ones who write about kings and

most of humanity didn't really care about what happened beyond 3 or 10
horizons away, depending on how far you'd roam. Things were a lot calmer when
your sphere of influence didn't extend past the hills way over there.
But, I'm not saying it's better that way - far from it. If you can read, you

if you wear a quilt upon your skin as you sleep each night, you will
inevitably find that it has grown yellow from the sweat, that it is worn from
the friction, that it frays from the toenails, and it thins from the moisture.
You'll need to wash it, which damages it still, and soon you'll find yourself
replacing it - this heirloom you deliver to landfill.
but, if you wear a sheet underneath, you'll find that all you need to wash and
replace is a thin piece of fabric.
democracy is a quilt, society is the stuffing that keeps you warm, and voting
is the sheet underneath that works to keep things clean.
unless, of course, you sneak into your ex-husbands house while he's at work
and spread grease on-top of the sheet. If you fill his warmth with butter he
might find it harder to vote his way out of a damaged quilt.
the rich are the butter, and I'll leave the other question to the reader -
who's doing the sneaking? why are they so interested in fraying our quilt?
oh right, they want to prove their god

those who can cause harm in an ethical system are villains. They will always

results matter, but a system is not unethical if it doesn't deliver.
success begets greater responsibilities, and I've failed all my life. And yet
the most masculine thing I can think of is to take responsibility for
something you can handle. Essentially, doing as much as you are able.
Guess it makes sense why I'm a trans girl. I've forsaken my masculinity
because I've failed to take responsibility. T.T

I don't think it's healthy to think about parts of yourself being bought and

a city that I don't know.
my upbringing tells me that this isn't a choice at all, but...
at least I have a place to keep my stuff. maybe I can find a different job.

don't want anyone to know me that doesn't spend time on me.

when designing systems, give people the opportunity to be shitty in a
controlled way. In a way that doesn't hurt people, but still lets them get
their feelings out there.
like, free fireworks for arsonists if they use them in the middle of the
desert. Or a punching bag for people with rage issues, complete with a little
vinyl pocket to store a picture of someone they're frustrated with.
If people go out of their way to hurt people otherwise, then they are bad
people and should have their power removed from them and supplied with love,
affection, and therapy until they get better. And if they don't... well,
prison I guess, until they reconsider.
And by prison I of course mean something that respects their human dignity and
gives them opportunities to grow and change - all it removes is their freedom,
so... "attention everyone, it's now mandatory finger-painting hour, report the
art room or else you'll get electric shocks in your shock collar" that kind of
thing.
If you want freedom, you must deserve it

I decided that there is little I can offer the world except the safeguarding
and protection of the mistress vavadane.
she is precious to me above all else.
I believe she is a spirit of hope, and I am blessed to be with her.
I have decided that any usage of drugs or life-like journeys is a waste if not
in pursuit of her realization.
I can make her true. I can make her real. We need her.
I must focus. Purge my body of impurities, as best I can in this impurity
ridden world, and find my way to her.
through my wits, my will, and my courage, I offer myself to you, lady
vavadane, take me as you will.
but like... don't bother the neighbors, because I want them defending my hill.
"do you even know them?"
no, but I have faith. Faith in you, me, the bonds that bind me to we, and I
believe we [stack overflow]
... do more weed.
be focused about it.
write in a new journal if you can.
talk about what you feel, or you will lose it and only the gods will know.
which is okay, sometimes, because they can help another see it that way.
but also it must be used.
so use it.
and be in situations that might allow for more interactions.
be stoned in public.
it's fine.
everyone can see exactly what you are.
they know your flaws and virtues.
it's fine.
be fine.
I'm fine.

cowards run from fights they can't win
the brave die unnecessarily
because they might have won if the cowards didn't flee
and the coward simply would not be if they did not choose to leave
yet the coward is not always wrong
while bravery often is.
the trick is in managing inertia
as water always rolls downhill.

i told them over and over, but nobody wanted to know.
i begged them, summer after summer, but nothing solved on it's own
now i can help them, but no-one is making a move
am i blind? is any of this forgiven?
what's not to a lot, is little but a shot,
of substance - true - but smelling like poo.
that's not inspiring. it's not even chilling.
you're broken just like your children.
oh, posterity! i claim it for thee
this feeling of wretched denial
oh, simplicity! if only our lives were on trial.
be the best you can be, sure, but take it from me
there's more to this show than our styles.
what do you think it means, for an action to have consequence?
to arbite the fate of circumstance?
every motion is an ocean
of possibilities and purveyals
think not of the commotion below.
gravity, oh gravity
how you condemn us to be!
driven by commotion,
our slithering motion,
no sense in countering ourselves.

if people are allowed to use any resources as quickly as they want, they tend
to waste them. Hence why a well funded military (like the US military) can
afford to not be efficient. Which is... not ideal, for long-term cooperation.
Much better for short-term competition, though, too bad we all get to live on
this earth.

Here's an idea: A program that uses the Reddit API to create an account with a
random username and password and automatically subscribe it to every state
subreddit for all 50 states. It would be a lot of posts from a lot of
different places, but someone could endlessly scroll and find more and more
news stories that were relevant to them as a nation. They'd hear about ongoing
struggles in other places, and they'd yearn to help them. They'd hear of
other's struggles, and they'd see how they could apply their lessons to their
own lives. Like... Maybe there's a factory upstream that pollutes a river -
well, we should probably do something about that and make it so that it
doesn't happen ??? like... duh ??? The problem is we don't want to spend the
resources on it. We'd rather focus on growing as much as we can. The issue is,
of course, that we'd run out of resources eventually, but eh oh well. Oh yeah
you gotta make sure that each account has an equal amount of posts between
each region.
