it's always a good idea to wear multiple layers, especially when it's decently
cold out.
make sure they're different colors. Ideally, one layer totally black, the
other completely colorful.
then if you ever need to you can strip one layer and become someone else.
They're just clothes, they grow on trees in stores.
speaking of stores, if you're ever going to do anything spicy, make sure you
wear that outfit exactly once, unless it's all black. Jeans are okay too since
they all usually look pretty similar.

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.

tailoring clothes to fit multiple people is easy. Just add buttons at a
certain distance in the direction their bodies grew different. Then, when
donning or doffing the piece of equipment, the various users would button the
clothing system to their bodies at the correct position, rather than whatever
the fabric had been cut to allow.

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.

witch hats should fold flat. The angled part should be in front so you only

if you're meeting a friend from out of town the first time, it's best if they
arrive early and you have the day off to show them around.
or if they arrive late, you can meet them in a public place the next day and
then spend time at your favorite spots.
ideally, with people who would recognize you if the person from out of town
decided to be hurtful and/or replace you.
plus, that way you can gauge their character
and decide whether or not you want them in your own home.
they might be different than they are online, after all.

Consumption is contribution to a capitalist system. Normalize taking whatever
you are given and living as humbly as you can. Only when everyone does that
may capitalism die. Talk to them, learn from their stories. Teach them your
ways but don't force anything upon them. Any ounce of regret is defined as a
mind not aligned to the angle of perception that designs the line that the
collective mind co-re-assigns.

if someone on the street asked you, could you point to the nearest power
station? wastewater treatment plant? hell even a gas-station
if you live in a city, probably not. They put them in fake buildings with
hollowed out exteriors in order to keep the city looking nice.
these crucial pieces of infrastructure are important to defend. but if you
don't know which street to turn down, then you might miss them.

solicitation brings to my mind the idea of a person walking in the front door

But maybe if you knew someone higher up it might get a bit more traction?

Many autistic people will identify one particular way to do things and then be

their legs just so, and never learning any other ways to sleep on. But what
happens if for example they are wounded in the arm they rest upon? They would
have impaired sleeping capabilities! Not ideal.

when leap-frogging, have each person use different ranged weapons. Then, as
you come to each sight-line intersection, choose who goes first based on the
size of the sight-line you're approaching.
less important in a place like a suburb because the sight-lines are pretty
similar.
more important in a city or the country, where there are plenty of long-range
lines of sight.
also, keep in mind that the garages of suburban dads are like goldmines for
the future backlines. So try not to blow them up.

"have a good day" is so imperative. Like, what you expect me to do all the
work? Just because I'm a witch doesn't mean I can just magic you into having a
good day!
"have a good day" is better, but still it doesn't work if you don't expect it
to work. Spells aren't magic, after all, they're solely based on the victim uh
I mean target's intuitions.
"have a good day" is probably best for me, so I try to say that when I see
people. This way you don't get any [redacted]'s occurring, and you won't have
any trouble aligning the [redacted]. On the flip side, [redacted], so perhaps
it's better to just grin and bear it.

"Fighting back" doesn't necessarily mean standing on a street corner with a
rifle.
Begin to orient your life around guns. How can you support the people who
wield them? We all need food, shelter, kindness, and inspiration.
Your fears and your worries shall bother you no longer, for your life as
you've led it so far has been the life of capital. It's okay to miss what
you've lost, but remember who took it from you and enrage. Then, engage.
Nothing starts today. It has started quite a while ago, and it's only now

@user-95 these kinds of problems are why witches should stay away from demon
summoning - it's far too easy to be super turned on and accidentally sell your
soul to a succubus or whatever. luckily that kind of contract is not made
easily, and has to be something you work toward. but unless you relocate
yourself so they can't find you their whispers can be... incessant.
one of the perks of air and naval travel is that it's essentially impossible
for them to follow your scent, as they're simply projections upon the earth's
surface. Unless they happen to follow someone else, perhaps someone close to
you, who wanders a bit too close to land. Or maybe someone who is easily
persuaded to let them come along... OR even still, if someone (even yourself)
intentionally calls to the same one. This is why it's usually a good idea to
forgo hearing their name, if you can, or to have a bad memory like me so you
forget it immediately teehee

if you ever need to take a cold shower, you can make it easier by acclimating
yourself slowly. The easiest way to do this is to spread water over successive
parts of your body with your hands - I usually start with my thighs, then
legs, then belly and butt, then chest, neck, then face. After that you should
be good to get in the water.
somehow it's less painful if it's applied by a warm hand, and yet it gets you
comfortable in the cold just the same. curious...

if a bunch of people are in town for a conference then they should probably go
confer. I think you can just... walk in to conference centers? you don't like,
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
sound or... actually that's pretty specific, here let's start with just
bikeshedding (what does that mean again?) oh it's a cinema style where they
take something and they put it in a bike out shed.

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 expect or demand anything from teenagers except perhaps "be a cool
kid" and "learn all that you can"
Even most adults when they mess up I just think "ah, well, they're trying
their hardest, same as anyone"
And tbh I'd rather see a kid running up and down the aisles than burying
themselves in an ipad
I think we, as a culture, built our society to demand too many "should"s from
people.
"I should get a job" "I should study this thing I'm not interested in so I can
make more money" "I should put out traps for the rabid wolverines so they
don't start hanging out in my underwear" "I should pick up detergent at the
grocery store"
Should is useless. Do; or do not. There is no should.

It's similar but it's not the saaaaame... Plus it's only one color I think.
And a lot less bright.
Maybe we can find some kind of bacteria that can be genetically engineered to
produce one type of the chemicals, and another that produces the other, so
when they interact it'll produce light indefinitely.

be because you make a billion dollars per year. Anything you don't spend
should be taxed away, to be used for public services and the defence of our

If you want to clean your room, try pushing everything loose into a pile in
the center. Then, sit down next to it and sort things into piles.
"here's a pen pile, here's a paper pile, here's a rubber band pile, here's a
trash pile" etc etc. Then, when you can't reach anything more or the piles are
too large, find a spot for them in the bookcase or drawer or wherever.

honestly we should be building cities in the most boring locations, not the
most beautiful.
like below the crust.
or space.
the surface is a pleasuredome, why waste it on scrubland and turf?

currently toe-ing the boundary between "too neurodivergent to function" and
"can juuuuust barely take care of themselves" and they ask me to get a job...
no thanks, guess I'll die
(in 3-4 months when my savings run out)

the kind with large stones in the shade upon which one might rest as they gaze
upon the trees waving in the wind and the reflections upon the water. All
natural scenes are beautiful for me, so the content doesn't matter as much as
the amenities. ^_^
I collect samples of moss sometimes, when some has fallen from a tree or
otherwise is approaching it's end. I have several kinds, but I'm still
learning how to take care of them - had a problem with mold recently. Not
enough airflow I guess.

it's good to be nice to people.
