I'm tryna set you upright, but you're only getting _upset_.

First interaction ⭐

One of my best friends is in prison for selling weed (and possibly other drugs that he didn't tell me about). But about the weed... We all knew he sold it. And he's been in trouble with the cops on and off. But this time, he finally got the sentence. Part of a decade in jail. It sucks. And it's dumb. There's nothing wrong with a plant, and there's nothing wrong with intoxication.. or as the bible calls it: the gladdening of the heart. Is he a political prisoner? Do they need to free my nigga? I mean, yes, in a way, and yes, they should. In a strange way, his drug dealing was altruistic. Like, autism meets altruism. He's only ever been nice to us. And now he's in the slammer. My friend. Because of BS laws. It makes you think a certain way about a certain type of white man. The type: old, comfortable, set in their ways. "what worked for me works for everyone" "There is no valid way to live life except for my experience and tradition" Some traditions are valid, and some aren't. A huge clue is when you call a plant evil that god created.

When my uncle visits, he greases up all of our handles and knobs, and just gunks up everything. Sometimes he just reaches into the silverware and smears tomato sauce on all of them. I presume incompetence rather than malice, of course. He just is a dirty man. Maybe he revels in the fact that he doesn't have to be clean. Who knows. Or maybe he hates our cleanliness and actively sabotages it. Whatever. I mean he doesn't enter our front door with greasy hands, but after eating he typically has the greasiest fingers. And then he explores our cabinets and opens our fridge. It's so bothersome to touch a greasy surface when you weren't expecting it. Anyway, tonight before he came I preemptively spread dish soap on everything that he would touch. Take that, motherfucker. Lol. But we're nice to him. We'd never disparage him. He is destined for eternity. It's a fucking weird chess game we're playing with him. It's a bit hilarious if you can see it that way. Such petty problems, compared to what they could be.

A certain female christian music artist has a male co-singer that is absolute shit and he probably wormed his way into her albums and she's too nice to tell him to gtfo, because she'd have to admit she thinks he's bad. It's an odd christian dynamic. This kind of thing happens in choirs too. It takes a real one to kick a donkey out of a church choir, but man is it worth it (and right).

Somebody liked my post ❤️ ...oh never mind it's a fake engagement bot whose entire bio is an ad

Enough posting; time to get to work.

If I ever make a protocol that has real-person identities, I would also make a first-class use case for robust anonymity. Ideally, anonymous accounts would receive reputation, even if that reputation is delayed until after the death of the real person, perhaps plus N years (to protect their family). This would require trustee servers that are trusted to "not open the envelope". You might run your own, or join a small federation. It's fragile but it's the only way.

It sucks that the topics on this anonymous account are topics that I can't talk about on my public personal account. The two accounts cannot mix, or else someone might correlate this account with my real identity. I even need to be careful about my phrasing and word choices.

For the record, denying guilt does not indicate guilt. It's stupid to think so. It's okay to call yourself smart if you're smart. (DKE notwithstanding). Stating a fact does not invalidate it. This also applies to calling oneself humble.

I'm pretty sure I've been a shadow banned from multiple platforms. I like to argue. Not insultingly of course, and not in a toxic way. Not with heated emotion; rather with pointed thoughts. I do hold to certain unconventional views which are fun to debate about. However, platforms probably react to people downvoting or blocking me. Like, if so many people dislike him then he must be bad to talk to. Just a rabble rouser. But, sometimes the truth is unpopular and even despicable. And sometimes a person uses despicable words to talk about despicable topics. It does not indicate that they themselves are despicable. They may be perfectly normal, with a quirky interest in talking about fringe subjects. I really hope there are nostr relays that don't shadow ban real people like me. For the record I am a real person. It bears mentioning these days.

How many mental registers do you have? When reading, how long can a sentence drone on, adding levels and parentheticals and diversions, before finally landing, before you lose your ability to follow it? You must place each phrase in a register of thought. If no such register exists, then you start dropping meaning. And when you drop enough meaning, you fail to understand entirely. Or maybe I yap too much. But nobody questions gymnasts about why they do so many flips when moving from one corner of the floor to the other. They could just walk...

I sometimes drive when my wife is breastfeeding our baby. Many people consider this illegal, and unsafe. To both: not necessarily. Obviously, it's not necessarily unsafe in all conditions. Like obviously I'm not doing it down the freeway at rush hour. And also, according to state law, there's an exemption for "executive sedans" (and other things like police cars and buses). Also: it doesn't define what an "executive sedan" is. Am I an executive? Is this a sedan? Who knows, officer? I certainly consider it to be the case. And now I would like to observe my right to remain silent on the matter. This may or may not hold up in court. Because I have no business license or permit to transport people or goods for hire. But also: there is no mechanical for such things in my state, for becoming an "executive sedan" (whatever that means specifically). I have considered becoming a business entity for the purpose of being clearly in the right. We'll see. But let's also talk about the _spirit of the law_. Why are taxicabs, limos, and "executive sedans" exempt? What makes those people special? Rules for thee and not for me? And buses are also exempt. Has a bus never crashed? My vehicle is very safe, compared to other road vehicles and objects, if you understand my meaning. Moreover, on a spiritual level, Jesus stated a principle about being royalty. The King does not levy taxes on his own family. And on a personal level, I do not appreciate nanny laws — laws that penalize you for not being safe enough. Once you understand the way things work, you're able to accurately measure risk. Of course, we want stupid people to obey these laws, so that we don't need to pay for their care, or look into the eyes of their children when they wreck themselves. But that's not me. I am conscientious and god-fearing, despite the appearance of my opinion on this topic. With great fear I will say that I am being completely rational.

Are they "typing" if they are selecting an emoji? UA implementer problems...

I wonder if the government has me on a list based on the fringe vocabulary I use and the amount of times I say certain phrases.

Hateful people pretend to act loving. Loving people pretend to act hateful.

Melamine. Slightly abrasive huh. I'll fuck with that. This stovetop aint gettin any brighter.

If I'm honest, I think I have been influenced by LLMS to use the em-dash more.

Melamine releases microplastics? What are they going to tell us next — that sandpaper releases sand?

I'm glad my AV system isn't gay. "AV1 STRAIGHT"
