 all that is sufficient to be a good person is to choose the best option
 whenever you can.
 
 that's it
 
 we act with the decisions we are given. Hence why it's important to be as you

 it's good to be ethical,
 it's good to be kind,
 
 but there will always be assholes,
 and sometimes you're not having a good time
 
 it's okay
 it's fine
 
 assholes deserve life
 times deserve others to be kind
 
 life is not always interesting
 and that's often by design
 
 the moments of clarity,
 the moments of heart,
 
 these are what define you
 and display your own spark.
 
 trust in yourself.
 be kind to one another.
 
 you are braver than you know,
 and always a bit wiser.

 doom is like sand thrown on a fire.
 
 don't spread it unless you are intentional about it. sometimes it's good to
 smother fires. other times it's cathartic. that's okay.

 future? work towards that. your emotions are fuel, not despair to wallow in.

 it's usually good to have some beer on hand. Just in case someone else should
 need it.

 Frankly each of us should have a well-stocked pantry, tended to by a

 mutual aid is only something separate from your human responsibilities because

 your friends on the opposite sides of the earth, this planet we owe all to,

 mutual aid is good, actually, because we don't talk to each other and plan a

 our ancestors worshiped us through their acts of devotion and lust
 
 if you're reading this, there's a very good chance that some of your ancestors
 are still alive
sometimes I look at a fruit or vegetable and see how optimized it is and I'm just filled with love. people have the idea that edible plants are "organic" or have just sprung from the earth in their form but that's not true!! they were selectively bred for thousands of years by generations upon generations of people. That is love. That is faith. When you bite into a fruit you are eating the generations of labor instilled in it to make it just right for you.  [picture of wheat grains]  [picture of corns on the cob]  This is how much our ancestors loved us. This is all their struggles and all their hopes. This is how much our ancestors loved being alive.

 gossip is only bad if you're mean. sometimes it's nice to know how your
 friends feel about things, or other people. Just don't be mean. Don't hide
 hatred with platitudes. Don't be spiteful, or vengeful, just... be good to
 people. Both with your actions, and your thoughts. Thoughts that you share
 with people close to you. Then gossip isn't mean.

 it's probably a good idea to write pseudocode, then real code, instead of
 starting with real code, and bugfixing something incomplete and more difficult
 to reason with.
 
 unless you write real code easier than pseudocode. idk do what works for you.

 I know that when you recycle 3d printed things the color tends to meld
 together and it looks kinda meh... but hey at least it's recycled.
 
 though recycled filament is probably pretty rare still, so it's probably not
 the kind you're thinking of.

 if the election goes poorly, keep in mind that eventually everyone will either
 fight, or support those who are fighting.
 
 everyone.
 
 if the election upholds the status quo, there is a chance that their wounds
 might heal and they may rejoin us in our reasonable society.
 
 keep working for reason. it will pay off in the long run. remember that a

 reaching for it.

 if you're a fan of both political posts and kookie-dookerie:
Attacking your enemies weaknesses is the route to victory. Safeguarding your own helps ensure the avoidance of defeat. But when your enemy is a culture, who do you target? Their women and children of course.  The GOP attacks abortion rights. They attack trans kids in sports, schools, and bathrooms. And that which you resist is what you'll find, so they find rallying cries of leftists defending the weak. And when you maximize your weaknesses, you leave yourself vulnerable. So how do you protect yourself from all sides when you're only hit where it hurts?  Women, children, the disabled, the mentally ill, the kindhearted loving men, the oppressed minorities and marginalized workers. All people who belong to the left, and all essentially deadweight in a fight. What can they do but serve as a banner that others fight for? A man in a wheelchair cannot shoot a gun, and a woman hooked on drugs should not have children. Yet the left protects them.  Give me your tired, your hungry, your broken and your poor. Liberty, liberty, freedom for all. But freedom is won with a hard hand clenched in a fist, a hand holding the stock of a rifle. Violence solves no problems, but solutions aren't always necessary - sometimes the threat is enough. But who cares for the soul of the murderer? None but the gravediggers, who reap the benefit of his rampage and the crows who listen for gunshots.  ... there's not enough characters remaining for alt. sorry. you can read the rest on my website if you'd like.
