 I agree with you when you say writing is the most effective way to express
 yourself, but it's not necessarily the easiest to digest for the viewer.

 A video can have visual components, and more than that it can have motion and
 sound. Text-based expression has fewer approach vectors for reaching common
 understanding, but like you said it is the most powerful.

 Hence why science papers are written, not filmed. Political speeches, grand
 narratives, autobiographies, textbooks... All of these things are written.

 But it's much easier to fix a car or learn to surf if you see someone doing it,
 rather than just read about it. Perhaps you and I use Youtube for different
 things (or don't use it, in your case)

 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.

 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

 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.

 Don't abandon your friends. If someone you know goes missing, they're probably
 buried in the trash-dump or human trafficked.

 if you want to encrypt something from human readers, randomize the position of
 all the words on the page.

 an LLM can decrypt it, but a human walking past could not. Unless they had a
 camera or something in their lapel, transmitting to a remote calculating
 location in a system that decyphers it cyberpunk hacking style.

 ah, but if it didn't have the right training data .claude.md file, then it
 wouldn't know how to decrypt it, because you forgot to include "respond with a
 marxist analysis" in the .claude.md which serves as a decryption key. Simply
 analyze the rest and decide if it matches what you set out to request it for.

 I find that peer support groups are usually better for venting. At least, I feel
 less guilty doing it. With a therapist I am always trying to focus on actionable
 things and usually that means downplaying my emotions, which means they pay less
 attention to me and assume my issues aren't that bad... "you seem to be doing
 fine so we can schedule you for biweekly now? every two weeks?" meanwhile I'm
 nursing suicidal tendencies, and said so, but apparently if I'm not crying then
 it's fine... >.>

 but with peer groups it's like, yeah they get it. and if one person's crying,
 everyone else feels more open to crying about their stuff.

 sorry for venting. I'm definitely in a MH- mood today.

 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.

 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)

 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."

 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.

 so, you're saying we should select for good people, rather than loyal people?

 If so, I tend to agree.

 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

 everyone is valid.

 to be in-valid just means you haven't examined yourself hard enough.

 when people tell you "please don't go" it's hard to say no.

 when nobody asks you to be somewhere, it's easy to not go.

 I am always changing

 when I cling to the past, I am a vast.

 gee sure wish I had a reason to be somewhere besides "um idk it's a nice day"
 [okay but why are you in this park] "it's a nice park!" [it's at least 50 quick
 moments away]

 yay protests, I'm so glad that everyone there is recorded

 what if we just... didn't respect their authority anymore? doesn't that mean
 they lose their power?

 hence, anarcho-monarchism, which is a dumb name for something I made up because
 I was being descriptive instead of expflorative.

 try saying that out loud lol it's a doozy of an adjective.

 don't like that monarch? don't do what they say. EASY.

 at least then SOMEONE is doing SOMETHING.

 you know what they told me to do when I went to the communists and the queers
 and the mafia and the yakuza and the CIA?

 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...

 devote your life to it, or use AI to build a semi-working prototype that you can
 use to pitch your idea to a bunch of people who have devoted their lives to
 learning how to use your idea as documentation while they build it from scratch,
 throwing out most of the code but keeping all the checklists and
 progress-trackers you built along the way, perhaps even utilizing some of your
 tooling that you used while constructing the scaffolding of this monstrous
 application that you won't be using most of the source-code for.

 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.

 gonna mostly stay quiet today, because you know what to do. If you haven't done
 it already, vote

 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.

 what if you could get cheap food at restaurants for the same price they bought   │
 it                                                                               │
 like... 50 cents for a head of lettuce or whatever.                              │
 and they like, legally had to give it to you in certain amounts. Like, only 5%   │
 of their supply of it or whatever. So if you had 100 loaves of bread you could   │
 only sell 5 of them? idk think about it. but keep it generic, don't isolate      │
 loaves of bread or tomatoes or cheese or whatever.                               │
 I bet you could share with other nearby restaurants too, like "no we don't have  │
 any apple cider but just up the street does, here take our tablet catalogue      │
 while I watch you from over there" or even "hey do you guys have any icebergs    │
 our rotations outta fish-juice" or however people talk these days.               │
 at least we got nouns and verbs and other grammar things keeping us structured   │

 super quick pat.                                                                 │

 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.

 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?

 yeesh, where's my cat, I need something to cuddle.

 she's been distant from me, lately.
