@futurebird later parts of a story are naturally interconnected with earlier parts, so the difficulty of writing each further sentence grows in proportion to the square of what has already been written. So I usually stop writing after a page or so, before things get hard.
@sidd_harth0_5h4h Absolutly not. Not after the whole "cat-coin/cult/pyramid scheme" debacle that happened last time. There are STILL "acolytes" who show up and leave tuna at our door.
@futurebird having been raised in a zealotinous religion, one which was (in)famous for its "milk before meat" practices of layering its lessons so the more objectional material required going much deeper into the religion, I feel I ought to have something important to say here. But I don't.
Really, if you are concerned your first paragraph isn't... catchy enough. Consider how you would write it if you had to send it as a text. Really cleans out the fluff and helps it get to the point in a way that can matter in an opening.
A “CW keyboard” is a device used by hams to type morse code— so such a gadget as a “light typewriter” isn’t totally mad— there have been adjacent machines:http://qrqcwnet.ning.com/m/discussion?id=1993813%3ATopic%3A19631
@vestige IDK if we know enough about the way that pi is "random" to assume it is the kind of random that could produce this result. And in many ways pi is totally predictable. However, if you have a random number generator where every digit has and equal chance then this is functionally true. But it's also not the same thing as "a world were everyone is a potato" because it's possible within the constraints of the system. Less easy to say that about the potatoes.
@nazokiyoubinbou I have considered just telling younger me to "brush your teeth" but I know that won't work. It required a traumatic and dramatic action to make the proper impression.
And it’s possible and valid to be angry with those past versions of yourself if they have left you faced with an unrealistic stack of work and no time to enjoy life at all. Sometimes an instance of the self will rebel and ignore the program and get nothing done at all. Sometimes you choose a life of pure sacrifice. This instance of me has never felt the sun, she has only the memory of others— all she has done is grade papers and scoop cat litter.
@PetraOleum As soon as it’s obvious a conspiracy has a purpose it’s no longer interesting because it’s not an uncovered hidden truth (a rare thing that can exist) but rather a constructed rationalization for whatever hobby horse really gets the “theorist” going-
@futurebird https://www.liturgicalartsjournal.com/2019/09/considerations-of-candles-and-their.htmlPrompted by the memory that there are two types, one of which is a fake candle that’s actually a holder for a smaller candle so it doesn’t ever burn low.
