"so I was walking down the street the other day and I came across a grocery
store, right? and anyway long story short so as I was walking through this
grocery store I saw a bag of marbles - wait no they were nuts, with like...
cherries and grapes in them. actually it was cranberries, I think, the
cherries weren't in season. so these dried cranberries tasted really tart and
sweet, and I thought "huh maybe they're dried cherries after all" and so I
asked the attendent or whatever and she was like "sir you need to pay for
that" and I'm like, yeah okay how much and she said it was 10$ so I'm like
"dang that's a good deal, I'm proud and amazed of our modern infrastructure
and all the hard work of people who don't get paid enough to make it happen"
and she's like "make what happen" and I'm like "oh the... the this thing" and
I held up the bag of cherries and she's like "oh uh, yeah it is nice, I guess
I don't really think about it much" so anyway I started thinking about what

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

oh turns out it wasn't memory corruption as I had thought, I just got
distracted and rewrote it in a different ui interface. you can read it in it's
succinctity here:
============================
I think the bottom line is, you need a better reason for [unintelligbile] than
profits. that's greed.
(was it dangerous? show me.)
if the answer is "I don't make the rules" then you need to talk to someone who
does. or, better yet, someone [else/who does] needs to listen to what you say.
[by profits, she means healthcare - you can tell because it says "bile" and
that's something that healthy people aren't all that accompanied with]
^^^ see this is usually how it comes out. it's hard to translate it into more
relevant things but when I write narratives or long-form explanation
discussions (being taught in schools) transmissions I tend to [--- stack
overflow---]
^^^ see this is why I try to talk about more germane things. like costco and
rent-a-bucket. usually it ends up being "hey who would have thought, storing
all your stuff in a warehouse and selling your own factories's stuff in one
warehouse unlocks unlimited life-sale potential. "no price-tag? sorry, it's
not for sale. here I'll help you put it back." btw costco should sort their
lines like the airport before security instead of a series of distributed
queues. This way people wait in line while going through the last few aisles,
like the [thing that I'm describing -> so anyways as I was saying] oh yeah
uh there's a lot of empty space at the front of the lines in costco you know
how in grocery stores people have that empty space to walk through right after
that and before the cashier there's a series of stands that contain the same
merchandise. that way, if you pass through there, which any customer will,
you'll pass by the stuff that's small, numerous, and otherwise easily stored
in more standardized locations.
[I can be utilized to vast potential in any industry, let me at 'em] 🙂
oh um, sorry where was I? I think we were talking about god or some such.
=========================
and then I came back, remembered the syncing of timing, and realized this: you
could have stalls all the way along where the lines were. if you had half as
many cashiers, the lines could be half as long. this way you can shop while
you wait. this might enable shoppers to plan for things they know they have,
if they spend more time in the consideration. A healthier pantry closet, a
healthier home.
the cold aisles should always be optional.

one day, a man came to our saloon. He said he knew the navy, and that they

what happens when tomorrow you're cooking briskets? -- barbeques are a type of

an embassy.

how insane
you can't play chicken with an imperceptibility, sometimes you feel it at face.

you
thinking of when you think about me?
one way to get power is to "prove it"
one way to get magic is to "prove it"
think, hard, at all that you can, and use what you need in the moment.
that's all there is to life. it's easy. it's simple. in fact, biology only
works
because the choices available to a bacteria are so simple, they are essentially
chemical reactions to each other's co - sequent - inter - cooper - actions.
people's choices are much more naiive, "I want this thing" "I think this is
better" "I feel this way toward this thing" "Here's what's on the mind-logbook"
"people search and be decieved, this is the way of things" "this makes me
remind
myself of a object I once saw, here's how it functioned" "no one reads this"
scaryyyy. so glad it's not true.
a couple people have read it! I swear it's true. at least, some of it. there's
a lot
sucks because this feels like... crucial? like nothing else matters but this?
what if our gangs had rocket launchers and airstrikes, given out by a central
authority who knows logistics better than anything
what... would they do?
thinking of impossiblities is the first step toward possibilities
frankly, we have a lot of space. we could just... live in our own petty
kingdoms
ruled by an iron-hand-fist. I know I'm a good person, I could definitely rule.
that's all it takes, right?
how much space are we talkin'?
however much is not needed for wildlife.
[a whole heck of a lot then]
we are constrained in these suburb cities, the density gives rise to our
strength and our towers. there's more space, sure, especially once the fences
are downed. Just be careful because there's a lot of shade and precious spots
there. Please don't trample on the plants-grass.
what if everyone were just a bit more mobile?
what if we could live in our own collectively owned air-bnb-networks?
federations, free, all from the collectivization of housing.

so... here's me
I'm
================================================== stack overflow
==============
... where was I? oh yes and THAT's when the nail went through the roof, and it
scared the heck out of... wait, what was I talking about? OH yes so anyway
I was born in the cool summer of 1864 - there was a rustling breeze that held a
steady note for the entire evening, and into this world I arose. [awoke?]
my mother held me but for a moment before I was whisked away to be cleaned and
cared for. this was unusual for the time, as most mothers clutched their
children to their breasts. But alas, I alone was spared her touch, and so I was
cast (as if in bronze) as my own volition.
as I had grown, I heard tales of distant times, and assumed they were places
you
could go. Then, when my time came to wander, I found nought of what I had grown
most fonder - though I did find plenty else, besides.
Instead, times are places we travel through, as a cripple might ride on a cart.
across the sea, through lands of mystery, viewable only from the road. In 1864
that's how other lands you'd come to know.
As I travelled from place to place, it felt as if a stage had been cast, with a
single actor or three illuminated as a spotlight. "Here, pay attention to me,
I'm here for the story and the plot!" though often I'd glance around, and hear
mostly my own thoughts, I grew to learn to appear.
different themes, different tales, if you want to see a most marvelous scene,
take a baby to Disney World and only pay attention to what they're looking at.
My grandfather worked there, so in my first year or so I spend a LOT of time
there. My parents were very dedicated to raising me, I appreciate every moment
of it. Which... Is probably not a good thing to say on a transfemme server,
oops I should delete that part
[esc->k->k->k->0->v->shift(held)->G->$->"->*]
also I should mention I'm stoned as fuck this is just what I do

as a baby, I would sit and stare at the clouds. My parents took me on plane
trips, and so I'd watch them as I drifted through the air.
It was wonderful. Many hours of this are present in my baby-hood, the part I
can't quite remember.
But my parents do.
I'd play with small, perfect toys, and I'd cry to myself when I lost them. To
myself, of course.
I'd also play video games. The first game I ever played was Dragon Warrior on
the Nintendo Gamecube Color. Alongside Super Mario Deluxe.
It was a blessed childhood. Or so it seemed to me. Things went wrong, as they
always do, but a child's narrative doesn't often have room for the specifics.
Swept along by the nature of fate, they have NO idea what's going missing.
They still play, of course they play, in their strange new realities.
They play because they are children, and children play.
How beautiful, the stories they learn from each song. How cherished, their
feelings derived from affection. Hy heart longs for them, as a bird yearns for
her un-nested.

║ in that much money. And yes, the new fountain we installed is adored by the │
║ community, we insist on keeping our rent below 400$ per month per resident. No │
║ we won't evict people who can't pay, they deserve such a nice place to stay. │
║ And yes, there's three rooms more, we've got interviews set up with the │
║ neighbors to see which of your candidates they like the most. The potluck last │
║ week was lovely, everyone agreed to form a union and resist the nearby grocery │
║ store oligopoly. Their first demand was that all food should be made free, and │
║ if it wasn't then they were going to sneak in and break things once a day │
║ until their demands were met. We all agreed to pay an extra [number] in taxes │
║ to pay for the quartermaster's supplication [as in, the cost of giving the │
║ grocery store's supplies] in exchange for the right to cheese, bread, and │
║ wine. Tomorrow we're fighting for cell phone rights, and things are looking up │
