 didn't exert power in that way.

 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]"

 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

 republicans are upset because they think democrats are so mean

 they don't understand why we're so intense about this election... or the one
 before

 they don't ever really think about what losing democracy means

 "democracy... that's where we vote, right? That's a democrat thing, I don't
 really like their way of doing things. Whatever our way is, is probably better."

 meanwhile everyone has a friend from high school who ran off to the mountains to
 learn how to farm or hunt as a pack

 (with rifles and weed, of course)

 you can get a lot done if you just... spend your whole life working. Like most
 humans did for most of our existence.

 well, except for that period where we were the tribe of tribes. That was
 probably a highlight TBH because we mostly just chilled out, danced in public,
 ate blueberries and munched seeds... It was idyllic. Truly, the garden of eden.
 There was music and laughter in the air everywhere, in all places that humans
 did wander on earth.

 what a thing to aspire to.

 better than currying yourself in the car, or at the store, or in the park, or at
 your best friend's funeral, or while listening to "smooth jams 1980s" playlist
 they made you back in high school, or when buying more tissues at the store
 because you can't stop crying about the curry you would make together or... wait

 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.

 climate change, they're one of the most at risk)

 when I played Overwatch, I'd play Tracer, Mercy, and Reinhardt.

 As Tracer, my job was to apply pressure as consistently as possible. Make their
 healers constantly busy. When one of my other teammates got a lucky shot or two
 in, I'd dive and execute. This is in contrast to how Tracer is "supposed" to be
 played, as a playmaker.

 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

 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.

 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).

 because "deserving money" to a reasonable person sounds like "deserving access
 to the goods and services that a pittance might afford"

 but to them "deserving money" means "did they earn those luxuries with their own
 luck and effort like me, a person who works very hard and definitely has earned
 everything I have"

 basically, a "blood sweat and tears" tax before you can have nice things like
 roofs and clothes and nourishment

 thing is... life is hard for people who need dollars. Their judgement reflects a
 lack of understanding of what people who lack resources go through.

 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

 put the variable type at the front of the variable and 90% of your type errors
 will dissapear

 like...int int_main(){ return 0; }


 orint int_modulation_gauge_percentage_point_plus_or_minus_engagement = 0;


 seeeee if the "int" value is at the start of the name then you can do this
 too:double double_modulation_gauge_percentage_point_plus_or_minus_engagement =
 0.0;


 then when you go to fill in an "int" value you know to use the one that has the
 "int" value at the beginning (doh)

 (do you really think they haven't tried that already? it... sorta worked. people
 started doing things like "int int_a; int int_b; int int_c;" and such and that
 got confusing pretty quick because the letters weren't at the start of the word.
 So for some situations we would mirror them like so: "int A = int_a; int B =
 int_b; int C = int_c;" and then just use the capitalized letters.

 well, if your partner doesn't want to change their mind, they won't. And if
 someone's mind is being changed, or if someone is attempting to change someone
 else's mind, then there must always be a changer and a changee. So it's okay to
 be the changee sometimes! In fact, that's my default state. I only change
 someone else's mind if they're wrong and hurting others. But that's rare.

 "mili" versus "mega" is a question of which direction you want to go.

 "mili" is less abstract - milimeters are smaller than meters.

 "mega" is more abstract - megabytes are bigger than bytes.

 we use "mili" terminology to describe things that are often considered small
 (like bacteria or sub-plutonic inches, or number of microbes in a vat)

 we use "mega" terminology to describe things that are often measured from small
 to large (like bytes to megabytes to kilobytes to gigabytes to terabytes to
 petabytes to... wait shit)

 a house or working through a short-term urgent disaster.

 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

 "Fighting back" doesn't necessarily mean standing on a street corner with a
 rifle.

 Begin to orient your life around guns. How can you support the people who wield
 them? We all need food, shelter, kindness, and inspiration.

 Your fears and your worries shall bother you no longer, for your life as you've
 led it so far has been the life of capital. It's okay to miss what you've lost,
 but remember who took it from you and enrage. Then, engage.

 Nothing starts today. It has started quite a while ago, and it's only now
 beginning to flicker and spark. It burned low for all this time, and it will
 burn low again. But it's the dry season, so prepare for wildfires.

 advertisements (which is the only way people agreed to fund the LAVISH projects
 they put on for our tender moments)

 Performance is an art, and I sing the song of my heart.

 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"

 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.

 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.

 like a king who dictates on high, the taller the chair the farther the fall.

 how simple is it, when everyone trusts you, to betray the wishes for direction
 they grant upon you. By leveraging their direction to forward your own ends, you
 are depriving them of the liberty to choose their own ends.

 how cruel is it! to be the reason for distrust! alas, who can you go to for
 guidance if not anybody you trust?

 to improve your "cat-petting" abilities, try to imagine that the wall in front
 of you is the most interesting thing in the world - stare at anything else
 besides the cat, and look at them in your periphary. Occasionally you can look
 back, but the idea is that this way they will be able to look at your face
 without painful eye contact.

 cats are autistic - they don't look at you unless you're looking somewhere else.

 most people stare at cats when they are engaging with them, and totally ignore
 them otherwise.
