 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)

 nixed my job offer today because something told me to stay in town.

 called my ex-boyfriend an asshole today, so he's probably not going to keep
 paying my rent.

 sold the shares of stock that my grandfather gifted me as inheritance, so I'm no
 longer a capitalist I guess.

 at least my elbow doesn't hurt anymore. I didn't get outside today but I cleared
 a lot of blockers for the coming tomorrows.

 you, the viewer, exists in a context.

 and you, the other viewer, who exists in a contexts such as that which is
 comprised as the context of someone who lives in an apartment complex, exists in
 close proximity with other humans. Humans who might hear you if you spoke aloud,
 who might hear you if you exclaimed your words quite loud(ly), who might
 perceive you as another (like you and me) and could (perhaps) share something
 heartfelt between our own shared contexts

 Checkers, but played with chess pieces, and every time you make it back to your
 edge from theirs you get an extra king. Oh and you can expand as far left and
 right as you'd like. And pawns can move two spaces left or right on any turn.

 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.

 you are in fantasy, again

 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
 sat and contemplated the nature of a bog for two hours last september. Or when I
 woke from a dream that turned out to be life.

 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.

 capitalism is like if your thread allocator gave 90% of the work to 10% of the
 threads in the pool and your tech lead claimed it was more efficient because the
 remaining 90% of threads would have the results of the program "trickle down" to
 them somehow

 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

 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.

 Fuck that. Oops cursing mentioned, one s

 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.

 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."

 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.

 teachers didn't want you not using Wikipedia as a source because it might be
 unreliable

 The knowledge they might have is good, but that's not the point

 they didn't want you to use Wikipedia because they didn't want there to be one
 single repository of information.

 Build drones, build stations where they can be controlled, repaired, refueled,
 etc.

 Put guns on them. Figure it out.

 Use them to observe enemy movement. No need for human manned checkpoints if we
 know they're coming. Automate as much as you can, but don't rely on ChatGPT or
 AWS or other external resources. Not until their data centers are under our
 control, and even then we'll need time to spin up our own software.

 a program that bundles another program and compiles it during it's normal
 operation in order to derive a certain purpose which is quickly overwritten in
 memory, so you can't get the full picture of what it does.

 like, a fast moving function that's never really clear in it's purpose.

 because it changes a lot of things that don't really seem to matter,

 like a constant wrestling match over the nature of the computer program.

 which would you rather? a dance, or a death-splatter?

 whoever at OpenAI that came up with those tiers doesn't understand the science
 behind it.

 consciousness does not come about from exceptional capability - after all, a
 child is conscious, and they're useless in a fight.

 consciousness comes from tiny bits of awareness given a story and life. that's
 it, it's not too complicated, but they're building something else.

 like, a complicated analytical engine of some kind.

 I feel like the people their press release was for is the kind of people who'd
 give them money, not the kind of people who'd help them build it y'know? like
 "what the investors don't know won't hurt them, besides we're making progress"

 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

 I'm such a direct person I think, even though I often just sorta... shrug and
 ignore things that bother or hurt me? Like, whatevs.

 but the moment I notice a pattern that is continually harmful I have to restrain
 myself from moving to contest it. Hence why I talk about capitalism so much
 teehee, but its also common in my interpersonal and communal lives.

 "the purpose of the system is it's effects"

 the purpose of a person is how they make people feel

 so if someone FOR A RANDOM EXAMPLE FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER, constantly hurts
 other people by creating situations where they are harmed which creates a
 dramatic fight... or if someone speaks in circles for hours and hours and HOURS
 like this guy:

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwKpj2ISQAc

 or people who jump into a conversation and drive it through the underbrush, over
 the ridge, around the bend, up and over the bridge, and then park it outside
 their ex girlfriend's house and hands you an egg and says "don't you wanna throw
 this?" and you're like "weren't we talking about birds"
