 many people have not seen the kind of opulence I have.

 my early childhood was during an economic boom - the dotcom bubble brought
 wealth to us all.

 I saw how life could be. how clean, how measured, how thoughtful, how robust and
 stable our lives could be. I saw it because that's what the eyes of a child saw,
 but that's what I saw.

 I think of what would be required to reach that kind of society for all and the
 only conclusion I come to is that the accretion of power in singular hands
 causes corruption in those who wield it. In doing so they twist the people they
 compel or effect, making them learn the wrong lessons.

 essentially, evil trained into us by the demands of the society we're present
 in.

 I see no other cause, no reason for suffering. We have the technology to build
 vast cities of solid stone, glimmering crystal sculptures and walls of moss and
 ceremonially ornamental bones, but instead...

 I think we just like what carbon can bring.

 but have no fear, fusion is just a decade away, then we can |

 I used to be aroused at the thought of being a girl. I would read stories and
 look at pictures of penises turning into vaginas and men turning into women and
 it would fill me with longing, yearning, and despair at my circumstances.

 then, I transitioned, got SRS, and now I don't get aroused at the thought of
 such things. It's just part of who I am.

 I used to be aroused at the thought of wearing diapers. I would read stories and
 play games of people being cursed by witches to pee their pants, or people who
 were stuck at a movie theater and couldn't make it in time or whatever. These
 things would fill me with longing, yearning, and despair.

 Plus, I had some medical issues that made me lose track of my... um, "currently
 utilized waste storage capacity" inside my body. which put me in some
 unfortunate situations right around the time when my sexuality was developing.

 Now, I wear diapers all the time. I don't get aroused at the thought of such
 things anymore. It's just me, as I am.

 I never rest. Not mentally. I find it sooooo much harder to get moving again
 once I'm asleep.

 But I've been sleeping lately, because it's "good for me" or whatever. Because
 I'm "burnt out and need to heal" or something.

 Damnit why is it so much harder to stop snuggling someone than it is to pack up
 a tent?

 I'm like the guy in Hot Fuzz, that one really good movie about cops. oops cops
 mentioned one second.

 I'm always moving, but, I hardly ever seem to be able to get anything done. Why
 is that? Is the work just... endless? Am I ever a slave to my surroundings? Or
 am I just cursed with a mortal form, a form destined to toil in whatever way it
 finds itself contextualized in?

 Maybe I should just stop complaining. Maybe work is it's own reward or whatever.
 I don't think I'm depressed anymore, although good luck getting me to feel any
 emotions except focus, and the call to intercede on another's behalf.

 I don't have time for this. >.

 the reason the right is hurt that you'd celebrate charlie's death is because
 they hired an actor to perform him to one side and he does his natural self to

 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

 at least my elbow doesn't hurt anymore. I didn't get outside today but I cleared

 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.

 what matters is that you are understood, not that your words fully describe.

 can you trust by implisight? then transcription becomes less valuable. so long
 as you agree on the specific conclusions, meaning can be flexible. this allows
 for moments of insight, as you make decisions on the other's character rather
 than their vocation or talents.

 conversational commonalities, -- stack overflow --

 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.

 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 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.

 one section of the government consistently and succeedingly telling another part
 what to do is a coup-like behavior. if the rules mean nothing, then what is your
 job even for?

 hence, why the rules mean something. Because your job is important. It's
 building up our capabilities as the human race.

 you don't have to work to live. you shouldn't, and you won't. it's not your
 place to labor. know why? because nobody's job is impossible. You can just...
 work together to get things done. Then they're done! and you never need to solve
 them again!

 enough time of that and we'll have turned earth into a space station, not a moon
 style structure.

 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

 eeeeep if my pickle had a face I would slice it into bits and throw it to the
 ducks. They probably wouldn't like the smell but it's the thought that counts.

 And yes I would hear the screams of the pickle and I would cackle because that's

 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.

 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.

 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.

 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.

 I hope I reconnect with all my old signal contacts. wonder what they're up to. I
 bet they're cool now. ;)

 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."

 nobody wants to read a whole bible. that sucks. what if these cool guys read it
 to us. omg he's so hot.

 oh, right. well... make them old and stuffy? not a chance, they're boring.
 (rude)

 I like old people actually, I want to spend as much time with them that I can

 I just... never initiate reactions. I'm too stealthy, it's just how I do.

 you ask me how I'm a witch? I ask why aren't you. magic is cool, I'm so hyped
 for the future when every computer everywhere is working for you.

 crash boom huh what was that? the economy? what do you mean the economy?

 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?

 omerta

 user interface tips #18569235:

 if a user is expected to click the same button multiple times in a row, for
 example a "next" button in an image gallery, DO NOT move the interface from
 below their mouse pointer and cause them to move their mouse in order to click
 it again.

 please don't : (

 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
 energy generation box. Doubles as an air purifier and UPS.

 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.

 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"
