 I talk about fight club which is why nobody invites me to fight club.
 
 thank goodness. I have a really low pain tolerance.

 I guess so. She's a little useless without me, I mean if I left her alone
 she'd probably just flop around and complain until I came back. But she's good

 at least, that half of the map
 
 something that's basically "I don't want people nearby me to read this" like,
 having a penpal on the other side of the world.
 
 could add a way to filter by them, and only for example show you people who
 are somewhere completely remote. that way you could have conversations that
 took place one message per day.
 
 design it such that it's encouraged to make posts, and then (like Reddit) you
 can have a back-and-forth conversation that's kept closer to home.
 
 Twitter was all about tweeting, about shouting into the cacophany of noise.

 Reddit was like "yeah I, a denizen of the internet, am communicating using the

 I'm so sorry T.T
 
 @user-958 
 
 I walk in as straight a line as suburbia will allow and touch things about a
 foot or less off the ground - right at a cat's line of scent-vision. When a
 cat is searching for an old home, it spirals out searching for familiarity -
 if it should come across me, it'd be most likely to see what smells like me if
 I travel in a straight line. Thus maximizing the chance that she'd return to
 me, my home where I cherish her so. I'd love her with all my heart if she'd
 let me, but frankly most of the time I'm just alone.
 
 I miss you sweetie! Please don't ever leave me. I'll miss you when you're not
 here in my home! Such a good kitty, yes you are.
 
 ... at least, that's what I'd say, if I wasn't dead T.T ah oh well weapons are
 overrated

 yeah. I worked as hard as I could at my last job, but I only lasted 11 months.
 
 that's labor to me. Applying yourself toward something doggedly. And I did,
 and then I burnt out and was paid just as much as someone who sat around and
 did nothing.
 
 but I wasn't doing it for money, so who cares right? what matters to me is
 that I burnt out. I need years to rest. I think that's natural. but y'know,
 rent is expensive. You need to be working 24/7 in order to be worth anything,
 and I was just not cut out to do that.
 
 I want to emphasize that I consistently did a stellar job. They gave me awards
 and I fixed difficult problems quickly, efficiently, and with minimal mistakes
 (none of which went undocumented). I was very good at what I was doing, and I
 learned quickly.
 
 but alas, the work was not suited to my abilities. I'm more of a software
 person tbh, and by "software" I mean like... basically firmware.
 
 nobody writes in C these days except for cutting edge stuff. /shrug

 I think we should be able to control our own software without relying on an
 external entity knowing what we're doing. It's rude, to be tracked when you
 don't want to be. And what gives you the right to know what I do with the
 hardware and software you provide? It's an invasion of privacy. It is.

There's a word for the process: Gleichschaltung  "Some officials have referred to the newcomers sent by the White House to federal agencies disparagingly as “MAGA commissars," a reference to Communist Party officials from the former Soviet Union.  They are generally young and many do not appear to have particular expertise or background in the portfolios of the agencies in which they are working, according to three U.S. officials, who, like others, spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.  They said the screeners seem to be looking for even the slightest divergence between candidates and Trump’s MAGA movement and “America First” policies. A negative social media post or a photograph with a Trump opponent has been enough for some applications to be rejected or put on hold for further review.  One official said he and several colleagues from various agencies had been told that even if they passed the initial vetting process to be admitted into the applicant pool, they would still need to prove their bona fides and convince interviewers of their “enthusiasm” to put in place Trump's policies, including by providing references from people whose loyalty had already been established.  This official said one colleague who made it to the interview stage was asked when that person's moment of “MAGA revelation” had occurred." #USPol #MAGA

 fight the darkness. fight despair.

 the struggle is what's important
 your fight is what matters

 it doesn't matter if it's hard. if it were easy, you'd get bored. if it's too
 hard, collapse at your leisure.
