@prologic@twtxt.net to answer some of your previous questions, i’m using txtnish for my timeline and user controls, and plain twtxt for posting. the alternative to that would be setting up a bunch of shell aliases or small scripts. or making my own client in Go. There’s a thought… ;)

Since you cannot go back in time to change the past, forgiveness is about giving up the hope of a different or better yesterday. It relates to forgiving actions that were taken, that gave you the feelings of loss of control over your happiness. It’s about acknowledging those things that another did or said that caused pain and making the decision that you are not going to let that hurt or control you anymore. Forgiveness can be very empowering. It can give you the chance to be free of another person’s emotional control. It has nothing to do with the other person. As was said before, it is something that is for you and you alone.” Why forgiving someone else is about you | Hacker News

A lot of people are going to start watching Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka, and then say ‘this looks like trash’ and stop watching it. They’re right, and it’s a shame. Higurashi had the same problem.
Bad idea of the day: Do a free machine-generated text class at a library (using tracery or something), self-publish the course materials as a book (with proceeds going to the library as donations), & get a couple copies for the stacks.

One of the ideas I was playing with in MfoM was the distinction between player & player character with a ‘possession’ metaphor, & how that relates to the time loop. I didn’t go so far with it. Maybe in Book of the Damned I’ll have the player be a possessing-spirit.

We all know about social constructs vs reality, but there are levels of spookiness (and no upper bound). We can define them as how far a lie can go before the truth gets its boots on. Spookiness level one – money – already goes basically perpetually.
