 do you ever wonder about how much heat is absorbed the plants and leaves? Kinda
 makes me think that they're keeping us warm at night. The desert is much colder
 than you'd expect, and so it the moon, or mars, or any other sufficiently
 devastated forest habitat.

 (plains are my favorite biome, please don't take them away with your stupid
 climate change, they're one of the most at risk)

 we should be able to vote on "minors DNI" tags that mechanically prevent people
 who didn't lie about their age when creating their account from viewing a piece
 of data transmitted over the internet

 and if it's suitably controversial then no matter which way the vote swings it
 gets blocked (temporarily) anyway

 would be nice if you could get suggestions for which fediverse instance to use
 depending on the AI analyzed contents of your posts. Could be a way to mitigate
 the social cost of banning someone, by saying "hey, we collectively are going to
 pool our computing resources to generate an expensive and detailed report of
 which other instances you could join." that way it doesn't feel like you've been
 kicked out into the cold.

 or literally just... have someone suggest one, idk. Basically it's like "hey
 you're in the wrong place, go to one of these instead" instead of "[expletives
 and swearing and general expressions of hatred, derision, and distaste]"

 I wonder why someone hasn't yet written a "meta-package-manager" which installed
 from many different sources and correctly configured each installation to be
 able to efficiently find exactly where the requisite libraries are installed,
 even if they're installed for a different system. Then, when running, every time
 it encountered an error, it moved one more dependency over to the native package
 manager until eventually everything is in order.

 ... or something like that, truth be told I'm a junior

 I don't think anyone should work at a job they hate, no matter what.

 They will perform worse. They will harm themselves. They will shackle their
 dreams to a false promise of persistence begot rewards. They will spiral into
 depression, despair, depravity, and addiction.

 If you hate your job, fucking QUIT. If you hate every job, fucking RIOT. If
 nobody will hire you, SELL DRUGS.

 who can't quite reach into the trees to pick the salmon fruit or dump the bucket
 of vegetable scraps into the black soldier fly larva pit anymore. That's always
 rewarding.

 He skuffed up my water bottle.
 He tore pages from my journal.
 He made me lose my necklace.
 He damaged my knife.

 And still, I followed him all night.

 Why? Because I knew it was important. I needed him to tell me what he was doing
 and why. And I think I know, now.

 To all the federal agents reading this, please understand that I am a patriot,
 and he is not. Who do you serve?

 To all the leftists, punks, anarchists, queers, and anyone else who's cooler
 than me, please understand that they will try and make it hard. But our love
 will win.

 buried in the trash-dump or human trafficked.

 there are very few professions that are naturally more suited to a schizophrenic
 than a normal person.

 One of them is beggar, another is prophet, and a third is "massive
 disappointment" but that comes with the territory.

 have you considered that maybe you're just a loser

 yes I have and I decided that all I can do is my best, and if my best loses then
 what else could I have done? Wait for help? Yeah. I do that too.

 It feels like an encirclement, and all you can do is hunker down and wait to be
 relieved. Or fight to the last, it's up to you. I hear they brutalize the skulls
 of their prisoners after executing them, so, I don't know about you but I'm not
 surrendering. Not gonna roll those dice.

 sorry. Should stay here, present, in the moment. Like when I sat out on the park
 bench for like 30 minutes straight without moving a muscle last night. Or when I

 An image means nothing, for it is just an icon.

 like a picture of a floppy disk corresponding to writing memory from RAM into a
 hard disk platter, even tho those have three different tasks, so too does my
 icon gesture at something.

 On the other hand, art is necessarily divorced from it's meaning the moment it
 leaves the pen and is written to paper. So there cannot be a meaning in my flag,
 not one that I define of course.

 The observers of the artwork, of whom I am but one of, can possess their own
 ideas of what it means, of course. Here's mine, feel free to take your own:

 Sea, land, sky. The crimson of a fading light, and the bright beginnings of a
 new day. Man(kind), with our vivid red internals, stands astride the border of
 the ocean and the surface. We walk where we will, perhaps into the black depths
 of the cosmos beyond, but forever do we anchor ourselves and owe allegiance to
 our earth and our star. Sunlight casts crimson light upon our externals, as our
 hearts do beat through time.

 capitalism, fascism, and unjustified authority.

 Make no new plans but for the defence of your people.

 capitalism is like if your thread allocator gave 90% of the work to 10% of the

 In soviet America, the rich tax you.

 ... wait that's just regular America isn't it?

 ... they would never be so bold if they weren't fed the kind of propaganda that
 we never see.

 They would never be so bold if they knew the truth of our lives. They don't have
 it easy, but we put up with more shit than they do.

 "Abe Lincoln may have freed all men, but Sam Colt made them equal."

 "you are not immune to the propaganda you see. you are, however, immune to the
 kind of propaganda they see."

 the powerful must always exist at the behest of the governed. such is one of
 many prices for power.

 part of me can't help but think about the militarization of the police, and how
 anyone can drive their APC's and operate their sound cannons or whatever, if
 only they possessed the keys and training. God bless our veterans right? And
 hey, a police station is an island in a sea of man.

 "Our chances may be, far from pioneered. But our chances may be in our favour."

 ... sorry I've been listening to a lot of Green Day lately.

 good morning!

 if you need to design an agentic programming ritual toward a goal that needs
 numbers, try expressing the number in analogy rather than empirical value.

 "it should be red enough to feel a sunset"
 "there's enough time here to go for a walk around the block"
 "the spartans had enough soldiers to fully block the narrow causeway,
 essentially forcing the persians to grind down their number to the death. most
 battles fought in that time were fought until morale breaks - this one was to
 the mortal end. hence, why they are im-mortal."
 "the smoothocity should be as soft as a brushed metal refrigerator"
 "the chocolate had 56 grams of sugar in it. it was a lot of chocolate, enough to
 place in a standardized container."

 violence is legal in self-defence.

 nazis want to kill me and my community.

 punching nazis is self defence?

 it's communal defence, for they present a clear and present danger to the
 community.

 You know the guy in the vietnam movies who shows up and fires over the enemy's
 head because he doesn't want to kill anyone? That's justified, though it might
 mean he'd die.

 He isn't fighting in communal defence. His community was safe from the
 vietnamese farmers and countryfolk who wanted nothing to do with imperialism,
 only to govern themselves their way. Too bad that sounds like communism, and the
 USSR was keen on funding the most violent amongst them if it meant another state
 for capitalism to contest.

 Nazis are not farmers. They are not countryfolk. They wear suits and they
 deceive these people into fighting for them. They are liars and they enslave the
 minds of those they can catch in their web of despair.

 they want to hurt you is surprisingly motivating.

 I can't cancel my internet because I use it to work, which almost pays enough to
 cover rent, and nothing else.

 It's hard to avoid spiraling when you run out of money. Every time this happens
 to me I start feeling things

 like... am I good for society? Society doesn't want me, clearly, because I don't
 have any money. And currency is how you measure demand, right? It's literally a
 measure of value.

 But then I think of all the homeless and poor people and, like... I value them,
 so what if they don't have dollars? It's literally just paper. Or bits in a
 mainframe that nobody knows how to program anymore.

 So if they're valuable at least to me, yet me, with my 67$ in the bank and 127$
 internet fee, is not valuable to me... Then what's the discrepancy?

 I'm not trying to be hard on myself, it's not my fault that I bleed money, but I
 still feel terrible.

 It's like a common cultural persuasion, if you run outta cash you better kill
 yourself fast.

 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...

 get the heartiest vegetable soup you can find from the store and cook some
 jasmine rice and lentils in a pot. You should be able to do both in the same
 pot. cook them like noodles by boiling some water and adding the rice and beans.
 add some salt to the water. make it salty like the sea.

 then drain the rice and beans once you taste test them to be done. be patient.
 add the hearty, savory soup to the mix alongside a big hunk of butter.

 boom, protein, calories, nutrients. all in one meal. the more vegetables in the
 soup, the better, and if you're feeling fancy you can sautee some of your own
 instead of soup by dicing them into inch large chunks and throwing them in a pan
 on medium heat with some butter and whatever seasonings you want for a while,
 stirring only when they start to stick. Just enough to brown them, not burn
 them.

 butter and salt and garlic and boullion are your friends. don't do too much, if
 you notice them a lot then it's too much.

 A screenshot of Ocarina of Time showing the Goron's Ruby.

 a screenshot of the Goron's Ruby from Ocarina of Time.

 A smooth, flat stone comprised of two materials. The hardened outer shell is
 thick with spiritual energy, and it radiates light the way a rippled piece of
 silk folded over a malleable piece of gold.

 the inner jewel is crystallized like the purest ice, but a bright shade of
 crimson white. it seems to radiate an aura of affection and the yellow-gold
 back-piece can be seen peaking through it's mostly transparent core. (think like
 fog or thick mist or steam or smoke).

 humans are computers that inhale air, produce electricity, and exhale carbon.

 give me a biochemical or mechanical process for doing that on a reasonable scale
 for cheap and you can solve global warming by replacing power outlets with an

 what's that? results? oh, I'm not interested in those. This is an art project
 you see, so clearly, clearly, the end result shouldn't matter to me, because all

 I'd say "content warning: fear-cursed-if-true-not-politics" that way people who
 had "Fear" or "cursed" on their filter list wouldn't see it. Things that are
 commonly content-warning'd are also commonly content-filtered by people who tend
 to be the biggest beneficiaries of healthily designed content-warnings. so
 putting keywords in there that filter out people who don't want to see intense
 or damaging things to their psyche can avoid it more easily.

 All people are good at heart, let's get them what they need for a start.

 Some people won't change. Some people are doomed to the life they were given.
 It's not their fault, but it is their responsibility, and if they want to be
 free, they will respect the rights of others.

 These rights we claim for each other are rights that must be taken away from
 those who would use them to harm others.

 To defeat evil, deprive power, supply kindness, in that order.

 No-one is beyond saving, but it is their choice to make. A choice ungiven is a
 chance untaken.

 you should update the directories at the top yourself, of course. And give it a
 cursory glance to make sure it works on your setup.
