let it leave me like a long breath

in other news the spider plant that i only got a few months ago is starting to send out a growth that i think is the stalk for a flowering part

and apparently spider plants are self-fertile, so i could just use a cotton swab or w/e and fertilize it and end up with lots and lots of spider plant seeds

i really need to get some seed trays or smth, since i guess i could do this trick with my peace lilies too, since the big peace lily plant is starting to flower again. most of these propagate by cuttings anyway; i am gonna end up with a billion plants if i keep this up

private Optional<Function<LayeredMap,Consumer<PcState>>> useAction;

listen, my java code is immaculate.

(the joke here is that in haskell this would just be Maybe (LayeredMap -> PcState -> ()). tho that's not a useful type signature to have in haskell, so actually it'd be something different)

actually as a general trend what i've found really useful for writing in javascript or java or whatever is thinking "okay, how would i do this in haskell?", because the answer is generally some slightly elaborate but robust and bugfree code. in this case i'm using a Consumer, but in haskell i'd have some kinda state-change monoid for popping up UI or adding/removing items or changing the map or w/e. and since that's precisely the issue i've been struggling with wrt "how do i communicate the potential effects of item actions", well, just do that and that's the problem solved.

in theory. in practice things are generally a bit thornier and more elaborate. but it's a good foundation, probably.
