      "body": "Figured I should make this post. I’ve been contemplating what to do about my earlier, very depressed and angry posts. They are things I wrote that certainly expressed how I felt at the time but are no longer relevant. And in this age of ovverreaction and general stupidity I would prefer someone not try using those to ruin my life sometime in the future. However deleting things is impossible on steemit. So I’m left with only one option which it to roll with it and admit to it if it ever becomes relevant. The sub options are to either edit them out of existence or just leave them as is. Editting them is a sort of poor mans deletion because sure, most people won’t see what the real content was, but all they have to do is look at the blockchain history and they can read the whole thing. So what’s the point? Might as well just leave it there and be honest about it.\n\nOn the other hand leaving it there has it’s own problems too since most people probably wouldn’t care to go looking into my history unless I gave them a reason to so maybe it’s best to edit them. Either way I had originally planned to bury the bad stuff under loads of content that was actually meaningful so that the trend would show on it’s own that I no longer think that way and thus digging that old stuff up would be easy to admit to and laugh off. But that hasn’t happened yet. I regret getting involved on steemit, I clearly wasn’t in any emotional position to do it at the time. I would argue I’m still not. But at least in my current state I have no desire to go around attacking people and whatnot.\n\nSpeaking of that, I originally had this idea that I wanted to get people motivated to work on things to make the world better and part of that plan involved purposefully creating a divie between certain, well, not ideologies, I don’t know what you’d call them. A divide anyways. The idea went that if you act somewhat extreme and for one thing you will inevitably attract the people that already feel the same way. From that you build a following and then slowly ease off to gain more and more middle ground. At which point you have enough people to really start getting things done. In my case I wanted to gather people who either have technical skills or have the desire to get technical skils for the purpose of creating free and open source things designed to increase individual independence. Which meant the flipside was to be dismissive and condescending to the idea of what I was constructing as the apathetic stereotpe. People who complain about the problems of the world but offer no solutions and don’t even take advice when given or use altenatives when presented because they’re not as good as the mainstream versions yet. It’s a grievance I’ve seen from quite a number of people, that these lazy people are truly what holds everyone back.\n\nThe goal had been to create social pressure on such individuals, not by directly attacking them per se, but by creating a social environment that frowned on those who weren’t pitching in. It’s a method I’ve used in the past to great effect. The problem is this tactic only works if you are talking relatively often and if you are also showing progress updates on your own personal projects as proof that you aren’t juist another person complaining. Thus achieving a state of “high quality visibility” that annoys the ideologies you don’t like, inspires the ones you do like, and can’t really be ignored by anyone. An example being if I already was doing weekly garden updates and/or updates on FOSS software I was coding that wasn’t just a game. Then it’d be easy to make general mocking posts about the idea of people who complain about things but don’t lift a finger to help themselves without having to talk about or to anyone specifically. Although in some cases specifics are good to include.\n\nAlthough I still feel strongly about helping the world that goal and the tactics associated with it just won’t work for my situation anymore. But I’m still left with my little bit of steemit activity that is almost completely negative.\n\nFor the moment my decision is to write this post and leave everything up, maybe I’ll edit it later, who knows? I don’t plan on being very involved on steemit but I suppose that’s obvious from my posting history. I just can’t think of any reason to post on here. I’ve never been much for social media. Other people just aren’t all that interesting to me. I only really care about projects and getting things done.\n\nI do know that when one of my game projects gets to a decent level I’ll post about them even though they’re just games and don’t really matter in the grand scheme of things. Likewise if I do any more creative writing or have something to show for any of my other projects. Beyond that, I don’t see the point. Like I’ve said several times before, the time I spend posting here could’ve been spent actually making progress.",

      "body": "People tend to forget who is really in charge of the world. Quick to point to billionaires and politicians without thinking of how those people got all that money and those positions. We gave it to them of course. Walmart, for example, isn't a mega corporation because they're magical fairies with magical fairy powers, they're a mega corp because people keep shopping there. This is not news to anyone. Therefore if people don't like Walmart the solution is simple, just stop giving them money, right?\n\nWrong, it's not so simple. Not everyone who supports [insert NWO thing here] does so because they truly want to, often it's because they have little other choice. People have to look out for themselves first and foremost, and that is not selfish or shameful. Realistically boycotts are unable to happen until equivalent alternatives exist to provide those same services. Knowing this, \"NWO\" organisations have wisely taken actions to make it impossible for such alternatives to be built within their system.\n\nSo the solution to that is simple too, just don't use their system, right?\n\nWrong. There's a big difference between an alternative and a \"viable\" alternative. An alternative is viable when it is functionally identical to the thing it is an alternative to. In the case of walmart, a viable alternative would have to offer, at least, the same products at the same price. Nothing else matters. If one of these things is not true then it is not a viable alternative and will not succeed in toppling walmart. \n\nAlthough promising first steps have been taken, the means to create viable alternatives does not exist for any of the current NWO versions. The fundamental problem  is that what I like to call the \"Free Humanity Movement\"'s alternatives are not very user friendly whereas the NWO versions are. With people's lives being as stressful as they are, no one is going to spend the time learning entirely new skillsets just to maybe get some extra control over their life. They're not going to drive around to ten different places to get groceries they could get cheaper at one place just to support local farmers and business. A non tech person is not going to go through the effort of figuring out how to set up their own email server or encrypt all of their stuff. A non engineer is not going to spend the time trying to figure out how to build their own 3d printer. a non gardener is not going to plant a seasons worth of crops in their backyard (if they have one).\n\nTherefore it is the responsibility of those who do have those skills and claim to have any sort of grievance with the world to use them to create user friendly means of independent living. Want private encrypted email servers to become a thing? Make one that just needs to be plugged in and left alone forever. Want more people to be growing their own food,design a fully automated greenhouse and/or gardening robots. Want more people to have 3d printers, make a 3d printer that can completely print itself from common household materials like aluminum cans, plastic bags and bottles, etc that you just load in , push a button, and walk away from.\n\nBoycotts and alternatives  feed back into each other, for example, if enough people started boycotting youtube once a week this would put strain onto the platform, making it less economical for everyone. This would slowly drive away even normal people who would then be looking for alternatives. Then the fledgling, not yet viable alternatives would become visible to them simply because they were looking. those alternatives grow and become true competitors. but is it that simple then? Of course not\n\nThere's another couple layers, another few roles people sometimes don't realise they can play. Although development \n is easily the most important job, advertising the existence of these things is essential. When I say advertising I don't mean billboards or commercials on TV, I mean cultural advertising. Things that are a lot more subtle. things like writing a story that uses some free and open source thing as a prop. Not shoving it in there as blatant product placement but making it meaningful. I mean, the NWO has been doing that for ages, everyone's heard about the sales jump M&M's had after appearing in the movie \"ET\" right? If it worked for them it can work for anyone. \n\nIt is not necessarily true that if you build it they will come, you could build it, it could work, but people may not know it exists or people may just be too comfortable with what they're already using to shift to something new and scary. So cultural advertising is equally as important as building the thing itself. This also includes making the alternative cooler than the mainstream. One mistake I see activists make all the time is that they advertise their alternatives as being all about freedom and independence and all that political garbage.\n\nThe average person doesn't care. The average person just wants a quick easy way to feed and clothe themselves and be entertained. If you are trying to win over the masses, that's the angle you need to come from, the economic angle. There should not be even a whiff of political motivation behind whatever it is you're doing. Otherwise you're just preaching to the choir. Wanna sell the idea of mesh networks? Talk about not having to pay an ISP to access or host sites within your meshlocal, talk about the resiliency of the network, talk about the potential to make a little money from running your own community ISP,  Talk about how it's completely compatible with the existing internet, that will get peoples attention a lot more than \"THE GOVERNMENTS SPYING ON YOU ALL THE TIME DON'T YOU WANNA BE FREE SHEEPLE!?\"\n\nOf course, things are much easier to advertise if they actually work, so despite both the technical work and advertising being very important, technical work is just more important.\n\nBoycotts, alternatives and advertising can't be thought of as separate solutions, they must be integrated together as part of a larger project. Everyone is able to do at least two of these in some capacity, boycott and advertise. I recommend starting projects like boycott youtube/twitter/facebook/etc day once a week where on that day you go to the other social media you have and post about it on that day, just a simple thing of \"This is my boycott X day post\" maybe with a link to a site if someone sets one up for more information so that other people start to see the trend week after week. It also keeps you a little accountable and helps build the habit. This works just as well for not shopping at a chain that you morally disagree with. Maybe there's even one item you can get somewhere else, especially from a peer to peer source such as paying a neighbour for that tomato instead of going to a grocery store. Post about it and how you specifically did that instead of getting it from a grocery store.\n\nThose little things do a number of things. As mentioned above they both boycott and advertise and give you a little accountability. But, more importantly, you get the ability to say you're not part of the problem. You have the ability to wave that in front of anyone who criticises you by saying you're not making any difference. You can shove it in their face and go \"well what are you doing? because I'm at least doing this.\"\n\nDon't underestimate that ability, that more than anything else is what will shift the culture in your favour. A lot of people don't handle peer pressure well, if they see more and more people making those posts, doing those boycotts, they're going to want to join in so they don't feel left out. Use that potential to your advantage. Again, the NWO has done this successfully for decades, popularising terms like \"Conspiracy theorist\" to make people too afraid of asking questions publicly. Works just as well positively and in reverse. Use it.\n\nPersonally, I already boycott google at least as far as searches go, I use duckduckgo. I don't use twitter or facebook. I'm currently growing one chive plant because being blind makes it kinda hard to take care of much more than that. Plus its still winter outside. I'm teaching myself programming and plan to use it for something free and open source that I haven't decided on yet. And I have a few other crazier things that I do.",

If the effort or possible consequences scare them away, then they didn't want to be free in the first place. The social contract is just an emergent psychological dichotomy between those with and without self respect. If people don't even respect themselves, why should I or anyone else care about them? Might as well just use them as disposable labour for my ambitions until they decide to grow a spine, die, or become otherwise useless.\n\nI know I can't just tell the banks and the police and all of them to go fuck themselves and have any hope of succeeding.

      "body": "So I'm legally blind and need a way to get myself out of total social isolation. So, do any steemians wanna do anything? I don't even know what, just... anything. I'm not really good at social stuff as it is, that's kinda part of why I ended up isolated. I'm stating to go pretty stir crazy and uh... don't want this to progress into something severe so yeah, socializing would be good.\n\nThe only thing I can think of to do is a round of DnD. Admittedly I don't even like DnD, I don't like the whole pen and paper thing and I especially don't like roleplay in the sense of having to get into character and stuff, but fuck it I'd even try that at this point. I've written fiction stuff before, how fucking hard could it be?\n\nOtherwise... I don't really know what else to do. Although I fully admit that it may not go well initially. I'm used to little more than work and getting things done, so, probably that's how I'd end up talking. I'm really not used to relaxing. I haven't relaxed for fucking years. I seriously don't even know what relaxing is anymore. So, yeah, you've been warned. That's probably why my first idea was DnD because in my mind I'm thinking \"Oh yeah I'l be this class and then we can all work together and win and stuff\" because all I know is completing goals.I can't think outside of that, I seriously don't know how to have fun or unwind.\n\nAlso, I'm blind, I mean I got a little bit of tunnel vision and still use the internet and stuff without a screen reader even though I should probably use a screen reader, but I'm effectively blind. So obgviously that's gonna limit thigs really, really heavily. That's uhh... the other big thing that socially isolated me, my inability to do fucking anything I actually enjoy. So yeah, that's uhh, that's what we're dealing with here. A blind guy who can't unwind who cant't do much because he's blind looking for random people on the internet to do random internet things with.\n\nIn any case, if you have any ideas or if you unbelievably actually want to do something,  just leave a comment.",

      "body": "I said before that I didn't want my blog to be full of me ranting about being blind. well, I guess that's impossible. I just don't have anything else to talk about. et alone anyone to talk to, so I just trow this shit on steemit knowing no one will even see it or care if they do. I'm just so fucking tired of being blind. I'm sick of it. I have no friends, I have no ability to mnake friends. I can't do anything fun because verything I used to love has been stolen from me. I used to be a gamer, can't do that anymore. I used to love bike riding and exploring, can't do tha anymore. I'm just fucking done with this shit. I just want to die half of the time. This is an insult. I slowly plug away doing my programming ad writing but I know it will never lead anywhere. I'm so jealous that my girlfriend who had a very hard life hersxelf is able to unwind by playing mmo's. I'd kill for the ability to do anything like that again.  Obviously I'm not spell checking this post because what's the point? It's not like anything will change if I do.\n\nIt's just a bunch of efort spent on nothing for no reward. I'm so socially isolated it fucking huts., I've been trying to find a solution but I have no idea where to even start. everythiong I love is gone. I've even contemplated joining some kind of DnD group just to have something. I don't even like DnD, I don't have any interest in pen and paper bullshit at all. But I'm not allowed to choose, I have no power. I'm just an intrinsically weak defect, My life is not my own I have to swallow whatever I'm fed because I have no other choice.\n\nFucking hell, I'm writing this on a raspberry pi because that's my computer now. Is not like I can get any use out of anything else so why bother paying for it? I just sit here alone doing nothing but work because I have no way to destress myself. I have nothing. I'm so sick of it. I'm so sick of being weak. I wish I could kill everyone sometimes. I don't even want to code my games, its an insult that I need to make my own entertainment before I'm allowed to be entertained. I don't want to write either, what the fucks writing gon=ing to do for me? A bunch of work so one or two people can mabe click a button to say they like it? what's the value in that? Nothing. Maybe someon might comment and tell me I did a good job? Oh wow, so much incentive to write! I might get a fucking comment or two, wow! There's literally nothing worth sopending effort on in my life. If it's not going to give me  my youth and sight back then it's worthless. That's why I do magic, it's a slim chance but it's better than nothing. Besides I already have no friends so it's not like I've got anythibng to lose by talking about it. Fucking hell life is worthless.\n\nife only has value if youre rich, for everyone else who have no power they're just lucky if they're able to be happy.  I'm really tired of all of this. I know I'm going to post this and after 7 days there's going to be zero trafic on it. I know that's what will happen. Because why the fuck would anyone pay attention to a low quality shit post like this. At leastmy intro post was accurate, I have failed at contributing anything meaningful to stemit. I suppose I didn't fail since I barely tried. But I get some degree of stress relief from venting this publicly where it has some chance of being seen by someone. There's no way though. No fucking way. I'd get on something like irc if irc was worth anything anymore. I've tried getting a dicord command line thing working because discord doesn't work on a raspbery pi and I really don't want to have to keep spending effort just to get the chance to do minor bullshit. Not like I'd have anything worthwhlile to talk about ther even if I did. Not like I can do anything with anyone, I'm just a fucking lead weight. I can't game, I can't do fucking anything. Because I'm blind. Just everything is shit, everything. My whole life is shit. People might argue it's because of my attitude and on one hand they're right., I could technically choose to see this all from a different, more positive perspective. But then I'd just be lying to mself. None of this is good, none of this, and I'm not going to lie to myself and say that it is. It's all bad, blindness is bad, it's done nothing but confirm what I already knew, that power is everything in life. If you have no power then you have no choice. and if you have no choice then you have no happiness. Power is happiness. Acquisition of power is the meaning of life. I suppose it's more accurate to say that freeedom is happness, it certainly is for me. But freedom requires choice which requires power. So power is freedom\nand freeomd is happiness.\n\nEtc, etc, I'm just rambling now. Not lie it matters, no one will read past the first couple lines of this. What a fucking worthless world this is, can't even be happy in it. I'm venting just so I can get this out of my system so I can go back to being productive. that's what it's always about, productivity. I can't live for anything else. i either get things to work or nothing matters. On the bright side I did get some incredibly minor telekinetic stuff to happen the other day so that's something. I do't care if peple don't believe me, their opinions have no material value so what good are they?\n\nI figure I'm deep enough into this to say shit like that since no one will ever see it. Fucking hell i just want my goddamn magic. With it I could be happy, without it life continues to be wothless. People say that you should try to be happy in the moment because defferring happiness to something else means you'll never get it. but there's nothing good about my life. Well, theres things that are at least not horrible, like getting diability payments. That's not horrible., But i'd much rather be abe to work at a job myself. Oh I konw I could still do tha blind but the jobs availiable are all worthless. Besides, regular non defective people deserve those jobs, not me, their life is worse than mine is because they are forced to struggle in this pathetic world. they deserve tose opportunities, not me, I'm jusrt a fuckingdefect.\n\nI weonde how unintelligble this has gotten? I have no idea since it's not lie I can see the screen. Every website uses this stupid eye bleachingly white background and then uses light grey or black text. Oh yeah that's so great to stare at, that's burn someones retinas at all. More sites should use black backgrounds and white text, I'm sure even sighted people will apreciate it. especially late at night. I barely have any tunnle vision left anyways so it won't matter. I'll probably stop using a computer entirely when I lose it because screen readers suck. they're just a reminder of how weak I am and how pathetic life is. Not to be able to even browse the internet because I'm blibnd. I hate everything and damn near everyone. I'm sure I don't actually hate them it's jus how I feel right now. The only entertainment I have left is food, I used to be a martial artist, but fuck that now, what kind of fight am I going to win blind? one, becaue I'm weak. I'm just a target. Some people tell me that my cane is a signal for people to be nice to me or help me. Its not, it's a signthat I'm easy prey. I can be taken out so easily its pathetic. I don't go anywhere alone anymore, I don't want to get mugged. I doubt there's even a high chance of it, but it's more than zero and it's not like I could defend myself. Now I'm a supporter of eugenics because I  can't see any value in this shit. wll, no,. I guess I'm not a suppoter, but I understand why some people are. People like me just hold everyone else back, if we were all dead the world might be a bit better. But that's a slippery slope and those are bad. I at least feel like I should die, I should just go away and everything would be betr. But I want my revenge on reality so I won't do it. Reality is going tohave to work harder that this to get rid of me.\n\nEveryone should just rebel against the government or whoever and go full anarchy. I know that would mean I'd be killed but whatever, it's not like my life had any value anyways. I'm only alive because others allow me to live, I have no value of my own. I would never be able to make it in the real world, I'd never be able to compete for a job or whatever. I'm what gets taken out of the gene pool for being unadaptive. And tht's how it should be. If someone wanted to they could just cut off my disability payment stuff and I'd have no way to stop them. Maybe they should just do that, what's teh fucking point of supporting someone who isn't paying you back? What's teh equal exchange in that? It's just wasted resources. I wish magic wasn't taking so fucking ong. I'm so tired of being closer and closer but never there. Having all the puzzle piece,sall the evidence that it works but being unable to put it all together. Why is this shit so hard? I get jealous whenever I hear about other peoples sucess with psi wheels and such. They always seem to ge t it within the first few seessions. I've done some stupid amazing shit via ghosting but I've never managed to get the same things work right in front of me. I suppose my minor success the other day is something but it's so preliminary I can't even really count it yet. Gotta replicate it in a more controlled way a couple times first before I do that. Goddammit I can't believe I spend my life on magic, but what else should I spend it on? Sould I get a job like everyone else and act like I contribute to society because I ge money? Should I tell myself my life has value if I get a paycheck? What bullshit, people who define their worth by their jobs are sad people. Granted I'm defining my worth by my power so I'm no better. I guess I'm not defining my wrth, juist my happiness. I think deep down I'm worth a lot to myself, that's why I want reveng. that's why I refuse to ever stop or give up no matter how bad things get for me, no matter how much I lose, no matter how weak I get. It's a matter of principle. I refuse to ever give up, I would rather cease to exist entirely before doing that.\n\nThat's why I'm venting this all here, it keps me going. I'm proud that I'm so solutions oriented. that even during breakdowns like this I'm still able to form a plan and act on it. that it's never just an emotinal breakdown, it's me trying to solve my problem. I mean I talked about all the shit I'm doing to solve my social isolation and sure maybe I'm discoraged most of the timne. But at least tey're solutions, at least I'm still going forward even if its excruciatingly slow. even if I barely work on it at all, at least it's never left my mind. at least its stil there. I will never, ever give up because I refuse to let reality win. I know I talk about reality like it's aperson, I know it's not, its just easier to talk about that way. Gives me more of a target. I still think no one will read this but who fucking cares I didn't write it for them anyways. I love how this started as me being super sad and depressed but because I'm so determined I used it to become all motivated again by the end. this is one of teh reasons I love myself, I can consciouslly be depressed and yet not depressed at the same time. I can vent it all out and then it's like it never happened. I reallly can't fuckingwait till I achieve my goals or die trying. Because I was special or anything it will be because I never ever gave up. My attitude has pulled me out so many times its hilarious. I hope one day I can help instill that attitude in others, no matter how weak you are and no matter how much everything is aginast you all that matters is your own desires. What you want trumps what everyone else wants, thinks or cares about. It's why I hate skeptics, they're just quitters. they gotta believe wahaever realit tells them. they don't allow themselves to want anything outside of that, and they certinly won't put in teh work to achieve their dreams. They just label it as impossible because its a lot easier to do that than to admit they don't want to try. Or they're afraid of failure and won't do anything that's too hard just in case they might lose. Fucking worthless cowards,. Well anyways this is another shitpost from me, I'm quite produ of it, roud tha it wnt from suicidal depression back to determination again, just like it always does. I'm suresomeone might argue that I shouldn't post this, but fuck it I got nothing to lose and I wrote it for me anyways.\n\nToodles",

      "body": "I was originally thinking of making this post about how there’s all this lab research into psi, which there is, showing that many psychic abilities exist on a small level, which it does. Then I remembered Steemit is a shitposting site and I will gain absolutely nothing from putting in that extra time and effort citing sources and quoting people, so I said fuck it and decided to write my own thing. Although I will mention the name Dean Radin, there.\n\nI do research on such abilities myself to try to concoct some way to make magic real. Why? Because reality is bullshit that’s why. I hate everything about reality and think it deserves to be smashed to pieces. Magic may or may not be my way to do that.\n\nI’ve learned quite a lot over the nearly 10 years I’ve been even passingly involved in it. Really only having any real potential for it to pop since 2016. Enough to know that it is 100% possible if only it was more controllable. I don’t plan on going into a whole lot of specifics on Steemit, I don’t think it’s the place for it. But sufficed to say my biggest finding is that you can in fact condense energy with your mind and make it solid enough to interact with physical matter. And not only that, you can manipulate it in such a way that it will stay condensed even after you let go of it. That right there is the most important thing I’ve ever discovered and is the thing that let’s me know that my dreams are possible.\n\nSee, like I said in my last post, the entire problem with reality is resources. People need them to stave off the body’s retarded self torture, but resources are finite, exist outside of you, and are thus hard to obtain. Only the lucky are able to be truly happy as a result. Therefore, wouldn’t it be great if resources were not only not finite, but produced by the person themselves rather than acquired from the outside world where anyone can grab them before you? Well the ability to condense energy with the mind has been my proof of concept for just that. See, if you can condense energy with your mind and then have that energy stay condensed after you set it, you open up the potential for shit like building a house out of condensed energy, generating food out of condensed energy, re-rengineering your own body to be less retardedly masochistic with condensed energy, and so on and so forth. Straight up star trek levels of bullshit, but with your hands.\n\nMy single life goal is to develop this ability for the sole purpose of teaching it to literally everyone. For me, that would be the greatest revenge against reality. Change something that is fundamentally unfair to something that is at least potentially fair. Problem is that magic has proven to be really, really fucking unstable and so it has yet to move to the demonstratable stage. It is not yet possible for me to walk up to people on the street and generate a nice glowy ball of energy in my hands. Which is getting really annoying. But hey, I’m working on it.\n\nI used to be really scared about talking about it because of how retarded sceptics can be. Sceptics are, by the way, horrible cowards. I mean sure, you can not believe in something like magic because you personally have yet to see evidence that you wil accept. But ask any one of these people if they would want magic to be real and chances are they’re going to answer yes. But some people feel the need to shit on everyone else for daring to put effort into something just because they personally don’t think it can be done. But hey that’s their choice. As the chinese saying goes “The one who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the one currently doing it.”\n\nI didn’t think it was real for an incredibly long time. I just had the desire and approached it with trial and error to see what would happen. It turned out that actually putting effort into finding things out about reality allowed me to find things out about reality. Gee, whoda thought that would happen? And then my beliefs about what was possible were changed because of it. Then trial and error gave way to theories and models of how things worked which I then tested to refine said theories so that I could get better results more often. It isn’t perfect but it’s a lot more than any sceptic can say they’ve achieved with their naysaying.\n\nI don’t really care about any of the love and light bullshit, I think all those people need to just go away because the bad image they give the field of paraspsychology. Just a bunch of dumb hippies who want to feel special without putting any work in to actually be special. Special in this case being defined as having some skill that is several standard deviations away from the norm either in level, kind, or both. I don’t do drugs, I think that’s the ultimate sign that you are a lazy hippy. If the only way you can get results is with a drug then you clearly don’t know what the fuck you’re doing.\n\nI have a lot of hatred for both sides of the argument, sceptics and  hippies. Sceptics to me seem like whipped little reality cucks who won’t think anything unless reality spoonfeeds it to them and says it’s okay to swallow. Hippies just make up bullshit and convince themselves it must be true because it makes them feel good to believe. Yes, yes, I’m aware these are broad generalizations, but I don’t care. Overall they describe my general experience of both groups. People are either too busy arguing about what is or isn’t real or what does and does not matter. Practially no one is trying to just plain make it real out of pure desire. No one’s doing that basic engineering trial and error R&D, except me. Or so it seems most of the time.\n\nOne of the reasons I’m more willing to talk about it these days is all that research that I’m not going to link you. Julie Beischel, there, there’s another search term for you. I’ve noticed more and more people are aware of its existence and the reality of psychic abilities is slowly becoming a little more mainstream. So sceptics have a little less ability to fuck me over just for saying things they don’t like. Really, I think everyone should be doing something like this, not necessarily magic, but something to allow everyone to live completely independantly. I chose magic because to me the biggest problem is not lack of means but those means being external to the person. Technology can be taken away, magic can’t be. Well actually I’m sure it can be, I’m sure you can seal someones ability to extrude energy or something. Nonetheless I think that, if you’re not building some kind of free and open source means to make your own life that much more free, you’re a fucking disgrace.\n\nIt’s not like there’s a shortage of things to work on. And yes I’m aware that these things take time and they don’t happen overnight and all that. But for fucks sake people, its not that fucking hard. If all these people who waste their time streaming video games worked on, I don’t know, a per-house water collection system for an hour a wek even, imagine all the water bills people would eventually not have to pay. Imagine how much more free time they would have to stream their goddamn games when they don’t need to fret about making enough money to pay that bill. Fucking hell.\n\nOh and I know someone’s probably thinking, “Fuck you mate, you just ranted about how your solution is magic, fucking magic mate!” And they’d be right… if I wasn’t also teaching myself programming to work on other projects. Oh yeah I know I mentioned a bunch of game projects last time. My hope is that I can use those to get me expereinced enough at the D languarge to start working on machine learning and networking so I can help with meshnet projects and whatever else I can find. GalCraft in particular is something that I want to be using to learn ML and network programming. Although I wil admit that magic is still my main goal. There’s just way too much potential locked up in there for me to ignore.\n\nI guess my main point is that I wish people were doing more things to help themselves instead of obsessing about money as if money has any sort of real value. Or thinking they can live in there own isolated little worlds where they never affect anyone and no one affects them. Well no, it’s usually just a one way percetion, that everyone affects them but they affect no one. Me just existing affects all of you, sure in an incredibly tiny way, but it’s still there. Me being blind has more of an effect because of what I can and can’t do and the help other people give me. Time and energy that they could be using for more valuable pursuits they actually cared about instead of wasting it on some blind guy because they felt or were obligated. Likewise all of your lives affect me. The sate of the world only came about because of the actions and inactions of people. If all of you decided right now to turn it all around of course your decision would affect me. In the same way that your decision not to turn it around affects me.\n\nThe only way out of this situation is developing the means to live independantly. It doesn’t matter if it’s via technology, magic, or a mix of both. There are a shit ton of projects that need to be done. Pick one and do it. You’ll be glad you did when you’re reaping the benefits of it. And everyone else will be glad you did too for the same reasons. The same way you will be glad to get the benefits of all of their hard work on their projects that you did not have to put in any effort for. Automation is, in one way or another, our collective and individual solution to these problems, use it, or it will be used on you. Pick a project that you like, or one that you currently have the skillset for, and get to work. Passion is a lot more important than skill here. Someone with passion can gain the skill necessary. Someone without it will just cut corners, give up and then say it’s “good enough” just so they don’t have to think about it again, regardless of how much skill they have.\n\nHell we haven’t even figured out the basics yet like food, water, shelter and electricty. There are no widely avaliable open source single person/household solutions to any of that. Some people might argue there is for food in the form of gardening but not for someone who lives in a fucking apartment there isn’t. Or someone who lives somewhere where it snows. Or someone like me who’s blind. Self contained solutions are needed. Also, gardening’s a lot of work. I know, I’ve tried to do it, and I’m blind. The whole point is so that the person themselves doesn’t have to put in work to achieve basic subsistence. If it isn’t fully automated then it isn’t worth anything. Chances are solutions would overlap with each other, maybe its not possible to make a fully automated indorr garden that can reliably feed one person in their single room apartment with existing tech. Maybe the solution will be to find a way to get them out of that apartment and into a house. Or develop new tech. Who knows? I’m not the guy working on it, I certainly shouldn’t have to be anyways.\n\nI work on magic, that’s my thing, it has the potential for crazy levels of automation. That’s why I do it. Also because I really, really like it. Someone else can handle the other projects.",

      "body": "I’m still pretty new to steemit but one thing that seems to be true is that it is not a platform for people who want to be monetarily succesful. More accurately, unless you are willing to sell your soul, never had one to begin with, or were born lucky in one way or another, there is no point acting like there’s any value to this platform beyond generic shitposting. I don’t think I’ll ever make any money off of it, if I do it will be totally by accident. I have zero interest in whoring myself out to businesses or any of that shit. My life is worth more than that. Maybe not objectively, but I figure if I’m temporarily stuck in this worthless body anyways I’m not going to waste my time doing things that aren’t fun. It’s not like I’ll win any sort of award for being all disciplined and whatnot. Well I might, but it won’t be worth anything to me.\n\nIt’s the funamental problem with reality, it’s about as anti-meritocratic as you can get. People don’t get to the top because they worked really hard, they get there because they were already ahead of everyone else in some intrinsic way. Maybe they were born rich, maybe they had good genes, maybe their passion just happened to be something that was incredibly profitable. doesn’t matter. Sure hard work can help, but there’s a line where it’s no longer hard work, it’s just lying to yourself.  \n\nI wouldn’t be surprised if people classed me as a nihilist, I don’t think that woudld be accurate because I see a lot of subjective value in things while simultaneously recognizing nothing has any objective value. But I’d understand it nonetheless. As far as I’m converned the complete pointlessness of existence is the best thing ever because it means you don’t have to shill yourself out for any gods or moralities or anything that you don’t want to. Life can only be about you and whatever you want.\n\nI’ve slowly noticed over time how incredibly insulting reality is. Not only is there no point to any of this, not only are you here against your will, not only are you stuck in a body that is a glorified skinner box that will torture you if you dare disobey it, not only are there limited resources with which to appease your body that you have to fight for if you don’t want to be tortured, but people spawn in at different times. Which means by the time you get here, there’s a bajillion other people who’ve already had the time to get set up to keep all the resources for themselves and make sure no one else can get them, cutting out all competition. And hey if you weren’t lucky enough to be one of these early adopters, these beta testers, well sucks to be you.\n\nPeople sometimes say life is a game and if true then its a pay to win MMO. It’s funny because one of the quickest ways to kill your MMO as a company is to make it easy for end game players to gank newbies. Archage was a good example of that. I didn’t play it myself because I’m blind, but from what I found out about it from @spudfuzz it was more or less supposed to be player governed and it quickly turned into a shitshow. Max level was 50 or something but as soon as you hit 30 you were forced into pvp which was nothing but getting ganked by groups of level 50’s that you had no hope of defending against. One of the many reaons I hate leveling systems, it makes game fundamentally unfair. Another one I heard about was Wakfu that suffered the same problem with it’s player driven ecosystem. I actually tried playing it myself because I was like “Hey, it’s tile and turn based, surely I’m not too blind for this!” but no... no I was too blind for this.\n\nA games success is based on fairness, if it’s not fair, the losers don’t want to play it because they know they’ll never be one of the winners, and they leave. When enough people leave, the game collapses because there’s not enough money coming in to afford the severs and maintenance anymore. In real life, the shittiest game, people aren’t allowed to just log out and play something else. They gotta commit suicide, an often painful process as quick and easy means are often not avaliable to the person because all those are cash shop only. So they gota use the ghetto, free-to-play versions which naturally suck. I’m all for assisted suicide, not just for people who are sick but for literally anyone of any age for any reason. Because the only people who should have to live in this shithole are the people who actually want to be here. As a game, real life is essentially minecraft but with no server resets. So sure there WERE lots of possibilities and places to build in the beginning. But after several thousand years of uptime all that shit’s gone. Now if you wanna build something you’d better get permission from the land owner and hope they give it to you. Minecraft server resets are the best argument against intelligent design. Because fuck, if we could figure it out, how retarded would a god have to be to be both capable of bulding a universe while too stupid to not put in an easy ability to log out and save progress and whatnot. The only other option is that if there is a god, which I doubt, they’re a sadistic asshole that only a worthless coward with no self respect would want watching over them let alone worshipping them for doing it. Which kinda makes me hope there is one, so I can enjoy torturing them.\n\nLike I said, I see subjective value in things, one of those things is the fact that other people also see subjective value in things. I don’t want to force my values onto another person, I would much rather they be allowed to express theirs in ways that won’t affect anyone else. If that’s not posible, I would like them to have an easy logout option if they want it. If they have both of those things but still insist on bothering other people because they think they’re “right”, I’d like to be there to do the same thing back to them. Surely, if they have no problem forcing their opinions on others, they won’t mind getting the same thing in return… Unless they’re a hypocritical retard of course.\n\nI suppose I do have one thing that I think should be the universal goal of humanity, even though I also recognize its really just my goal. Everyone should be working towards the creation of the means for every individual person to live completely freely without needing anyone or anything else. As far as I’m concerned anyone who’s not doing that is the enemy of humanity and should be treated as such. They hold themselves and everyone else back from living freely by not contributing, even if it’s just a little bit. All those “little bits” can add up, so might as well catch them before they do.\n\nIt’s something that drives all the work I do. I think if someone’s entire reasoning doing anything is “I just wanna make money and live comfortably” that person is a worthless piece of shit. We’re not isolated from each other, everything everyone does ripples out and affects everyone else. Therefore, your thoughts, beliefs and actions absolutely are everyone elses business. Either you have the right ones, or you leave. Willingly or unwillingly, I don’t care which.\n\nNaturally this gets into a debate of what the “right” ones are which I think there is no objective answer to. Like I said, I recognize that the stuff above is just my own subjective opinion. But I doubt many sane people would be against the idea of other people building them things, for free, to help them live more independantly. The most common concepts of good and evil are completely selfish and self centered. A stereotypical “good” person is someone who gives of themselves freely for the benefit of others. Well of course people would label that as good and like people like that, they’re getting free shit out of it. Who’s gonna turn down free shit, especially if its shit that you want? No one, that’s who. That’s why that’s the most common definition of good. I personally think a good person is someone who is living in accordance to their own whims, regardless of what those whims are, even if it’s something that goes directly against my own interests. I can’t help but respect people who do that, especially if they’re very skilled. Because it means they’re putting in the effort.\n\nThe resource grind of life is what spawned dishonesty, it made it necessary. Other people had things that you needed to make the pain stop, but you lacked the power to take it from them by force. So you had to convince them that it was somehow in their best interest to give you things. Generally resulting in some sort of transaction. But a transacrion means both parties have to give something, and wouldn’t it be nice if it was only one way? So the deception arms race was on to figure out who could lie to who better to get what they wanted. Over time this developed into such bullshit as morality and, *gag*, politeness, in a race to figure out how to make dumb people give you free shit. Obvious strategies emerged such as creating more dumb people, the dumber the better. and making sure they had less and less resources of their own, ideally none at all, so they were forced to become dependant on you for everything.\n\nPoliteness is just lying with a smile. If you are saying something other than what you genuinely think or feel, you’re lying. If you are being polite to someone because you want them or don’t want them to do a certain thing, then you are manipulating them for personal gain. This is baked into the very fabric of our lives and no one should be surprised that at the highest levels of society the lies and selfishness are the strongest. Of course it is, how else could it have turned out? Those with the most power have the most freedom because no one else has the power to stop them. They have what everyone else needs or wants. As a result those people also have the luxury of honesty, they don’t need to be polite to you, they don’t need to pay lip service to your petty, small minded “morality”. They’ve got the power, not you, so you bow to them.\n\nI really like honesty, even though it is seldom the best policy. People say they like honest people, but if that were true people wouldn’t be begging everyone to lie to them all the time, oh I’m sorry, “be polite” to them, and get offended when they’re not. The truth hurts, and the fundmental drive of everything with a nervous system is to avoid pain and seek pleasure. Despite that I still prefer honesty, I prefer when people tell me what they really think and if I’m making a mistake on something to just tell me what it is and how to fix it. Maybe because I’m not so pathetic that I allow mere words, internet words no less, to injure me. Although I also recognize that assholes with power have the capability to fuck me over on a whim, those people I wouldn’t mind lying to I suppose, depends on the situation. I suppose what I mean by honesty is honesty with myself, not necessarily everyone else. Which is what I alluded to at the top, crossing the line from hard work to self deception.\n\nI figure the problem with all this is just resources. Not just physical things, but knowledge too. That’s why I do what I do, I want more for myself, and I want to remove any legitimate incentive from others to try to take my shit by just giving it out for free in the first place. I doubt I’ll have any real impact on the world by doing this, well, unless the magic I’ve been working on finally clicks, then I’d probably be remembered forever. But no idea when or if that’s gonna happen despite the annoyingly good progress I’ve been making on it. Maybe I’ll talk about that later. I planned on doing a post about all the actual lab research being done into things like mediumship, survival of consciousness, psychokinesis and the like and how all of it certainly seems to be a thing. But that’s for another post.\n\nI suppose I should wrap up this incredibly low quality, zero value shitpost that I will make no money on because, of course, that is the only real reason anyone posts anything to steemit, right? So make sure to prove me wrong by resteeming, upvoting, commenting, giving me all your life savings, etc, etc. Or don’t, I don’t care. You’re adults, I’m sure you can figure out your own shit.",

      "body": "I decided it was finally worth posting something to Steemit again. I really didn’t want my blog to be filled with nothing but rants about how much I hate being blind and hate life and etc so I held off until I felt I had something worthwhile to post. Well, maybe this isn’t all that worthwhile but it's something.\n\nProgramming wise my progress with D has been chugging along better than I’d hoped. I have several game projects on the go, none of them playable yet, but they’re getting there. My main focus is games that I myself can actually play and enjoy which means things with a stupid level of complexity and depth. My main project is essentially a turn based, text based version of starcraft mixed with FreeCiv mixed with Aurora 4x. I suppose a name for the moment could be GalCraft. The idea goes that it will have several layers of maps. Layer 0 maps will be more or less the same as a standard map you’d expect from starcraft. Layer 1 maps will be world tiles similar to what you’d see in FreeCiv, each one is actually a whole L0 map. Layer 2 will be either a region map containing multiple L1 maps or a solar map where each tile is an entire planet or equivalent, otherwise the solar map will be Layer 3. The initial idea is to take the standard concept of a game of starcraft but play it out across maps as large as multiple solar systems. I’ve got plans for things like boardable/capturable ships and customizable building construction ala a stripped down version of minecraft. So instead of just building a barracks for example, you would have a barracks component that you would use to construct a building that functioned as a barracks. Ideally I wanted to have swappable unit equipment and per unit supply management as well. I also want the ability to build multilevel structures both above and below ground. I wanted tunnelling to be a major part of the game. Deep space and near orbit battles as well. I don’t care if a turn takes an hour to update, I want everything in there.\n\nNaturally the first playable version of this will not be anywhere near as awesome as all this might make it sound. I’m currently working on Layer 0 stuff exclusively. I figure it will be much easier to start small and build big later.  I’ve got procedural generation working for L0 maps although I haven’t implemented units yet. Before I get them introduced I’m creating a generic menu library to make creating them very easy for me because controlling all of this in a purely text based way that even blind people can understand is going to require a LOT of menus with a LOT of data readouts. Then I’ll work on a basic save feature. After that I’m going to have to get to work on multithreading because goddamn there is going to be a lot of processing going on. I know you’re supposed to do the multithreading first but I’m still just trying to figure out how to code the basics of this in D. I don’t have time to throw multithreading in on top of all of that. Eventually I’d like there to be multiplayer but that’s far outside my skillset right now. Let’s just get something basic working first.\n\nThe second project I'm calling Space Mercs for the moment. Basically its supposed to be Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead in space. The initial premise is that you are the captain of a ship with a full NPC crew and you basically do whatever you want with it. I want the physics to be as in depth as possible. Not necessarily perfectly realistic, but in depth. If you are familiar with a game called Space Station 13, especially the FTL 13 server, that should give you an idea of what I’m shooting for. I want full power system management, atmospherics, telecomms, medicine and surgery, structural integrity and the like modelled for this. The good thing is that the code for Space Mercs and the 4x game will be largely cross compatible at the beginning. Most of the work I’m doing on the Layer 0 stuff now will just get recycled into Space Mercs and vice versa. The ability to board ships in GalCraft will just be a simplified version of what you can do in Space Mercs. So I’m effectively working on both of them at the same time, or at least that’s the idea.\n\nThe third is something I’m calling Open Darkness which is inspired by Darkest Dungeons. I wanted to take the basic mechanics behind DD and grossly expand them. It is a much, much simpler project compared to GalCraft and Space Mercs. Although I’ve done little direct work on it thus far I do undestand the logic behind how it will be laid out. The basic idea is to take the room and hallway map system DD used and add in a whole lot more randomness to it. Also, I want it to potentiallly be an open world with more than one hamlet you can visit and more than one party on the go at a time. The idea is that you were trying to run a guild and you need to manage all the boring economic details of that. Hiring people, making sure you make enough money so people don’t quit. Keeping people alive, keeping your reputation intact, etc. The idea was you’d start off in some town similar to DD but instead of just taking jobs that would generate a dungeon map of rooms and hallways you’d have a persistent world map. I was gonna think up some generic story about how the world is in dissarray or something to justify how you start off but haven’t gotten that far yet. The goal would be to explore the initial areas around your starting town and secure them against creatures. Then, push out and find other towns. Start trade routes between them and grow your influence. Find dungeons, forests, caves and whatnot to explore and take various jobs based on world events. I didn’t like the combat system of DD so I was considering either using a classic final fantasy system or an expanded 2d grid system. A hypothetical battle could be played out on two oppossing grids who’s size depends on the terrain. In this case lets say 3x3. Where now not only does you position in line matter but your horizontal position as well when it comes to what abilities you can perform and where.\n\nI’ve been conceptualizing a lot of how I’d do the procedural generation and randomizaion for the map and have been designing a basic structure for how tiles and encounters work. Some of the work on tiles is getting recycled from the work I’ve already done on GalCraft and the encounter system would be used as a framework for both OpenDarkness and Space Mercs. One thing I can’t decide if I want is a full blown relationship system. I figured that Darkest Dungeons had a good idea with the whole stress thing but that ain’t deep enough for me. I want people to fall in love on the job and betray each other and get all heartbroken if friends die in front of them and so on and so forth. All of course with related stat and ability effects. But I have another fantasy RPG project concept that this relationship system might be better suited for. A Dungeons and Dragons or Elderscrolls esque thing that would be very story/lore/character heavy.\n\nI want a lot more depth with how equipment works, none of this generic direct upgrade nonesense. I want you to be able to pick and choose the exact weapons, armors and other equipment every individual guild member has. My initial realease of this will likely be a very simple, linear, single character dungeon crawler where you start at room 1 and go room to room in a straight line. Fighting things in very simple pokemon esque turn based battles and collecting loot until you eventually die. This would be just to get a basic grasp of the randomly generated encounter framework. It would probably stay like that for quite awhile while I implement different equipment types and stats. After that it would become possible to split the project and make the fantasy RPG as well. Either way I’d likely be working on building the party and combat grid systems for Open Darkness and then working on a simple mission system with a home town. But right now I’m at the very early stages of all that. Thankfully the menu library and save systems I’ve been working on are being designed to be generic enough to be easily used with this project as well so there shouldn’t be any extra work there.\n\nThe last project I’ve thought about is very pokemon esque. I was thinking of calling it DreamCatcher. The idea is that you battle and collect “thoughtforms” that form your party. Very simple, stupid simple. I don’t really have many grand plans for this one beyond creature types and so forth. But it’s battle and encounter system wil form the basis for the pre-split OpenDarkness project or vice versa. As will it’s very simplistic town and region system.\n\nNaturally when I do release the first version of any of these they will all be free and open source projects because proprietariness is for megalomaniacal losers that think they're special.\n\nI’m planning to design all of these to be very modular so that anyone can make any changes they want. Although all of these are being designed with blind people like me in mind I want them sight capable. As in, I want it to be really easy for someone to come in and create a graphical tileset for GalCraft for example. I also want it to be very easy to convert certain projects from turn based to real time. As a result I’m measuring everything in ticks. “Turns” advance a customizable number of ticks. That should make it very easy to create a real time “Ticks per second” system for people who want it. I don’t like the idea of making things just for the blind just because I’m blind. I want everyone to be able to enjoy it the way they want. And I want to make it as easy as possible for other people to do that. I don’t know when the first release of any of this will happen nor do I know exactly which project will release first. But I’ve been working at it pretty consistently so it’s just a matter of time. I know someone will tell me I should just pick one project and do it to completion but I don’t work that way. I will get bored if I try to do that and if I get bored enough it won’t be fun anymore and I’ll quit.\n\nNaturally ask any questions you like.",

A relatively simple room, a door to the outside deck and a proper bed with linen sheets and everything against the wall. People told her linens weren't the best thing to take on a seafaring vessel, something about molding from the moisture, but there was no way she was going to sleep on... straw... \n\nThere's a special table against the wall opposite the bed with a large wooden birdcage and a handmade perch. Random sticks and knarled branches fastened together with wooden dowels, string and a glue made out of sap, stone dust, and... 'animal byproducts.' The birdcage had a makeshift birdbath made out of a carved bucket with sloped edges and a little staircase down into the water. Although it was empty right now.\n\nKashika was trying to put Peeko's special little hat on his special little head. He twitched and tried to duck out of it at first before she managed to hook the string underneath his chin and secure his fate. She crunched down with her hands on her knees bringing her face level with his. “Awww... look at you. You look so cute!” She cooed at him. His beady eyes blinked as he cocked his head slightly to the side at her voice as if to say, \n\n“Really...?”\n\nKashika stood back up again and gave Peeko a scratch on the cheek. His eyes rolled back into his head it felt so good. But her fingers trailed away from him as she began moving away.\n\n“Be a good boy, Peeko” Kashika said, turning and sauntering out of her cabin. Peeko watched as Kashika began conversing with a crewman outside. The door clicked closed.\n\nPeeko fluffed himself up and shook all over. He scratched at the hat with his left foot but couldn't quite get a grip. He twisted, shook, tilted upside down, tried throwing the hat off with sheer body force. Until finally he had it in his beak. Rearing back and to the left he flung the hat as hard as he could at the tabletop. It bounced once and slid to a short stop. Peeko glared down at the hat, making sure his assassination was successful, burning his hatred into it's stupid hat soul. Inducing a fear into it that would stir it awake in the coldest, deadest of hat sleeps for a thousand hat lifetimes. Which was around 17 bird years or until Peeko forgot.\n\nHe tapped his beak against the perch and looked up to the morning sunlight filtering through the cabin window before squeaking and flapping over to the narrow windowsill. Climbing himself up the soft wooden wall to the latch he flicked it a couple time with his beak until it popped open. He climbed back down and pried the door open slightly with his foot, squeezing his well fed body through the narrow opening and fluffing himself up on the other side. Shaking his head and ruffling his feathers from the uncomfortable feeling of squeezing through the window. Bright sunlight made him squint and blink a few times before his vision adjusted.\n\nThere's a ship in front of his view, a small merchant type vessel. Just large enough for two or three people to live and work on. Below him is the clear green water, a few stray kelp swaying in the harbour waves. There was some kind of lichen like creature stuck to the stone walls beneath the waves. Whitish, craggy shells and an exposed sucker mouth puckering every few seconds when the tide washed over them. The walkway that stone supported was clean for the most part, a few bits of stray gravel here and there and a cat that sat on the raised perimeter ledge staring and meowing at Peeko.\n\nThe walkway was bleached from the sun but there were still faint hints of its original tan colour peeking through. It was a rough aggregated surface that had seen as many footsteps as fish guts. One part of it had small, hairline cracks forming. Perhaps from age or a heavy, drunken impact sometime in the past. The walkway met up with a larger street lined with railings, ropes and unlit lanterns. Other walkways were arranged neatly on both sides of this street, some with docked shis, some without. \n\nThe lanterns were little more than wooden poles with a housing for an animate crystal penny blossom with plants enclosure filled with a little dirt. Their bioluminescent petals, leaves and stamen pruned and cultivated for maximum glowiness when the sun went low. The top of the lanterns coated in black, sometimes with the shameful tarnish of bird poo. Railings were moulded right out of the poured stone. A repeating archway pattern with a flat top wide enough for an obese cat to nap on without fear of falling into the water in its sleep. Looking around other parts of the port it appeared this was a well tested hypothesis.\n\nRopes were tied to riggings built right into the pavement. Unused ones were bundled while others were connected to their requisite docked ships. Some of the ropes seemed freshly wound whereas others looked frayed and destitute. The street connected to the main road of the port. A bustling shanty market whose sole purpose was to scam tourists or crew into paying more for something they could've gotten at the main shops. The price difference being the cost of 'convenience' they would say, and sometimes they were right.\n\nPeeko cocked his head down at the cat who was now licking it's paw while glaring at him. It was a dark brown cat with jagged chocolate stripe markings. It's eyes were almost the same colour as Peeko and it was missing a couple whiskers on it's left side. It's paws had a noticeably lighter shade of brown and a dark chocolate splotch right in the middle of the 'wrist.' It's tail was fwipping back and forth lazily. It was probably very warm sitting there under direct sunlight. Watching Peeko but also watching the water opportunistically for tiny fish taking shelter from their sea and airborne predators amongst the docked ships. The water was more than a foot below the level of the walkway, unless the cat planned on going swimming, it wasn't getting anything from there.\n\nA loud splash was the answer. The cat dove deep into the water, scattering the many fish that had been previously bobbing along nonchalantly. The cat wriggled a little, hidden in a cloud of bubbles racing towards the surface. The light dancing off of the objects under the ripples distorting what Peeko could see. Then the cat twisted and awkwardly paddled it's way up to the surface with something in it's teeth. Bits of red were flowing in a thin stream from its mouth, mixing in with the clear water. The cat's head popped above the surface, the fish in it's mouth thrashing violently, twerking the cat's head this way and that with the force, but the cat wasn't in a hurry to let go. It grabbed the craggy stone surface with it's claws and slowly grappled it's way up the side, struggling slightly to keep from falling back in or lose the fish from it's full body convulsions. But within a few seconds it put one paw, then the other, on top of the raised stone edge of the walkway and climbed ashore again. Dripping wet and probably refreshingly cooled off.\n\nIt threw the fish on the ground with a sudden fling of it's neck, revealing the haemorrhaging punctures and rips in it's side. It continued thrashing and flopping but the cat held it down with it's right paw and smacked it in the face repeatedly with it's left like it owed it money. Continuing until the fish stopped thrashing. The cat wiped it's head with both paws to get stray drops of water out of it's eyes. Licking them afterwards. The fish twitched again, but a few more solid bats to the head made it motionless.\n\nPeeko decided that he didn't want to witness what was going to happen next and flew off while the cat ripped off it's first chunk of meat.\n\nThe little bird glided over the stone and wood town on a good breeze coming off of the ocean that pushed him lazily onward. Below him people were scattered here and there between the interweaving streets. The buildings were mostly the same height, made of a uniform tan stone similar to the docks. Wooden supports and awnings of various craft darted past underneath his eyes.\n\nHe landed on a rooftop and waddled towards the edge to take a look at the bustling but narrow street below. People of all ages carrying cloth bags, leather sachels or wooden boxes of various sizes. Some women sitting at a cafe talking. Dressed in loose fitting whites, browns, reds, yellows and most other colours of the rainbow. Blouses, dresses and leggings of various lengths and cuts designed for the heat in more than one way for some. A kindly old elderly waiter brought drinks and a plate of breads and sauces for one table. One of the girls was a bit more expressive than the rest, flailing her arms in the air and bouncing in her seat in excitement. One of the other girls sighed in embarrasement at her friends antics while getting playfully shook by another friend as the waiter pointed to someone else in the cafe. Peeko wished someone would give him some bread. But Kashika would probably make him do tricks for it.\n\nPeeko looked to his left towards an intersection connecting to a wider and more well taken care of road. Lot's of carts, lots of big animals pulling the carts, lots more people. It looked like that road was mostly for travel, very few shops were set up on it's sides. Although some enterprising people had found places to set up makeshift vendors with their carts, usually selling things on sticks to hungry travellers.\n\nSeeing nothing of bird-interest down there Peeko flapped to the edge of another nearby building, clicking his tongue and mumbling thoughtfully. The wind ruffled his feathers and he squawked annoyedly when some dust got in his eye. Peeko hopped to a window ledge below him. There was a proper tiled awning below the ledge where he could see people gathered in the shade. He watched one person leave with a small basket of fruit. He couldn't tell what fruit it was but fruit is fruit and he's hungry from all the flying. Peeko's small avian brain reasoned that if the person walked out from under the awning with fruit then perhaps the fruit came from under the awning itself. Flapping to the upper part of the awning he slowly inched his way down, listening for any signs of threatening humans.\n\nReaching the edge safely he slowly tilted his body over the awning to look underneath. Gripping his claws into the softer tile edging and hanging upside down he twisted awkwardly left and right and saw the coast was clear. He reached for a support rod for the awning with his beak and pulled himself, upside down, to it. With a short flap he got himself on top of the support. There were a number of bins, boxes and baskets arrayed before him. Most of the contents were foreign but one small crate was full of something Peeko recognised. Strawberries.\n\nHe clicked his beak and twitched his head back and forth wondering if he should risk it. So delicious but so dangerous. He tapped his beak on the support anxiously making incoherent mumbling noises. With one more tonguey click he decided and flew down to the space between the crate and another basket. It would be hard to describe what was going through the little birds head when he made this restless decision but the closest translation from Peekonese would be, “Fuck it.”\n\nPeeko knows the humans will be back, they always come back. Slowly reaching his red beak out to grab one of the knotted wicker weaves of the basket to pull himself up, he kept a sharp lookout in the corner of his eye. Peeko poked his head above the basket to see a massive pile of juicy strawberries.\n\nHe pulled himself upright to sit on the basket edge, fluttering his wings to keep balance. Eyeing the one he really wanted Peeko plodded across the pile. Grabbing it just in time to hear the owner clomping back into the room. His gait that of someone who should really eat more berries. Or less, depending how you looked at it. The owner clumsily dashed at him growling and waving some kind of wooden scooping implement. He's seen Kashika wave one around like this too, but never at him. It was at a human male...\n\n\"I didn't do it!\" Peeko squawked, gripping his tasty red booty with his foot and flapped as hard as he could, mimicking the man in his memory. \"Wasn't me!\"\n\nPeeko was too quick, with a few more flaps he was out of the store completely. Bystanders were laughing and pointing at his caper as the store tender chased fruitlessly behind. He headed upwards towards a ledge underneath the roof overhang of the building across the street. In the shade no less. landing one footed with a little awkward plop on the wooden beam with his berry safe in the other.\n\nThe shop keeper was growling at him from below waving that wooden thing at him. Peeko slowly raised his foot to his mouth and took a savoury bite of the forbidden fruit. Staring directly at the human as juice dribbled down his chin. The former owner of the juicy strawberry imagined the bird was mocking him in only the way a non-sentient, colourfully winged rat could. “Yeah I got your strawberry, guy. Oh my god, mmmm, the strawberry's so goo-d. Oh my god look at it, it's all over my face. Oh yeah, that's good strawberr-y. I'm eating this strawberry that I didn't even pay for right in front of you. Mmm I'm taking another bite, just think about all the berries my dirty bird feet walked all over to get this delicious strawberry that I didn't pay for.  You don't know where these feet have been, I don't even know where they've been, and you'll never know how many I walked on. Maybe I pooped in some too, think about that while I take another bite of this delicious... free... strawberry. Mmm it makes it taste so much better knowing that it's stolen.”\n\nThe shopkeeper stormed back inside in disgust. Everyone else was smiling and looking at Peeko, chatting to each other, laughing. They knew what he did, they knew.\n\nThe stem, nothing but nibble marks, drops at his feet and rolls off the ledge to the street below hitting some girl in the head as she passed. She annoyedly brushes her hair wondering what it could be and is disgusted to find it's the remains of an eaten berry. Peeko doesn't care. Peeko's going flying somewhere else. A hop, flap and a squeak and he's off. Keeping himself below roof level to avoid more annoying wind gusts.\n\nAfter zigzagging through a few streets he spots piles of shiny on the ground. His heart skips a beat. He soars past entranced by the glimmer as it shifts and dances in the sunlight. All time seems to stop in his mind as he watches one of the men sitting in the alley in a circle throwing something around. The man grabs a shiny and tosses it into a pile in the middle. It twists and twirls in the air, glinting off of every facet. The clink of it hitting the pile snaps Peeko out of his trance. He sees a wall in front of him and narrowly swerves to avoid it. Getting his bearings and his brains back he decides he wants to get closer to investigate. He lands on another roof above the men. They've got piles of the same shiny gold disks that Kashika always has around. One beside each of them and another between them all.\n\nHe flutters to the ground and watches from a distance as they throw around other objects on the ground. Sometimes one of them gives a gold disk or two to another man. Peeko is entranced by every glint and sparkle. He thinks Kashika is too, maybe that's why she collects shinies herself. The men spot Peeko and he freezes, not sure what they're going to do. But they seem friendly and motion at him, talking amongst themselves. He recognises some of the sounds but doesn't know what they mean. But when they put a disk down near Peeko and ask him to come closer he has to at least be polite. But he's also scared, he doesn't know these humans. Every time one of them twitches he flutters off to a safe distance. But they don't chase him or do anything else scary so he waddles back slowly. One of the men pushes the disk further towards Peeko, he figures they must be giving it to him, It's so shiny. He walks up to it and sees his own reflection. He's a pretty bird.\n\nHe taps his beak on the coin, getting a close look of every detail he can. Lifts his head and wonders what he should do. Well... there's only one thing that makes sense. He grabs the disk awkwardly in his beak, bracing it with his tongue. and flies away. One man yells at him and the rest laugh. He flies back to the port, Overtop of the fishing cat, it's sound asleep next to the mostly fleshless skeleton of it's prey. Back to the still open port window. He squeezes himself back inside and lays the disk on the sill. He pushes the window closed as best as he can and climbs up the soft wood frame to grab at the latch. He stands on it with his full body weight and bounces a couple times to set it like he always does. Climbing back down Peeko grabs the disk and flutters back over to his perch. He lays the disk on the perch base, it will make a nice ornament for him. Kashika comes back in and sees his hat on the table and the gold disk. “What's this...?” She wonders aloud, When she gets closer to see what it is Peeko feels pride in her noticing his new ornament. “You were a good boy weren't you Peeko?” She pats his head.\n\nThen she picked up the disk and walked away. \n\nShe took his shiny. \n\nPeeko was agast. His chest was puffed out, his head reared back and his wings were slightly ajar with a flurry of confused emotions filling his head. Best translated into one word.\n\n“Bitch...”\n\n-\n-\n-\n\nWritten by @terraset\nIllustrations by @spudfuzz\n\n2017\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQpA5HY6uQAc197dS8Ty3u7AjDKkhp2UtVYg3tGNQZj8h/image.png)\n\nAuthors Notes:\n\nThis was a short story I wrote as practice back in 2017 for a convention. It's set in the Strawberry Riot universe but is non-canon. I noticed that the only copies I have of it are all on paper and I thought I should probably upload it. Back then I struggled a lot with wanting to write anything at all and in my opinion this work came out not horribly but probably could've been better. Which is nice because it gives me a bar to measure my future work with. I have a few new projects that I've started working on that will be posted to Steemit. In my opinion my skill has improved since writing this and I hope I can post things people will enjoy reading.",

It could not have been in feed still.\n\nI appreciate your comment. :)\n\nAll I can say is this...\n\nAll the little fish will never band together the way you speak, that is just impossible and highly unrealistic.\n\nAlso, there are already large groups of little/medium fish that in their entirety cannot have any impact on these issues even as a massive group. The true whales here have so much more power that it is nearly immeasurable. No one dares threaten them because they have seen what happens to those who do.\n\nNo one owes anyone anything and i've made no such insinuation that whales may, they certainly owe me nothing. You are quite right that schmoozing is personal choice but I feel you missed the point of why I brought up schmoozing. Schmoozing is basically the only way that you will make money here, you will learn that eventually. The way the system is set up basically ensures it. While it is personal choice if you want to schmooze or not, not doing so basically ensures that you will not make much here. \n\nWhen I wrote this I was pissed. After 6 months of being here I had finally started to understand what was actually going on here.\n\nTrust me, it is nothing like it appears when you are new. It is quite different indeed.\n\nI'm not pissed any more, i'm poised. Now I'm working toward introducing the change that steemit desparately needs.",
