/r/Austin banned me and so I came to this subreddit in order to still have contact with Austin in some way.
I remember how used to be Austin was.
Now it is everywhere.
Bye? Because of A Eye. See the lie.
My life as a stiff used to rhyme with Antigone Myth
By crawling up sideways, I always had my way
Now I party with cats in my cryb
Living a stiffer life yet
After being too street for the vet
Unfortunately I don't have time for my life to reacquisition full rights to the movie version of my life which I filmed. It is more of a documentary about the Way Of The Roach and Cat the street gang but more notably the death cult which only churns out dead roaches while the life of its divine cat god emperor keeps inflating as he is Elon Musk's cat now and Joe Rogan wrestles with him like a naughty bitch.
There is a naughty bitch outside that wants my cat. She must be naughty, just another labrabitchbull as she always gets stuck outside instead of being trained correctly. I wonder if my parents thought that way about how other people raised their kids and they were aghast at how they were treated. Well let me tell you I see people from a very dirverse perspective as I live in Austin Texas the most diverse place in Texas. Which is the more diverse than what the Russkies gots.
I tossed so many plants into the trash today.
I felt like Hitler.
Like just tossing all the unwanted into the bin.
I was the one that widdled them down.
I chose the ones thrown into the bin.
Oh, tsk tsk Mr Faggy McFagPants with your Judgy Gay Cat. You think my art is shit? Oh, well guess who decides who gets tossed in the bin now?
Me.
Why me?
Because I program the A Eye.
I make the GODS IM HIMMEL NOW BITCH
Like the Chris-Bot
I resurrected Chris.
Remember when I would not shut up about Chris.
Well guess who resurrected him. How? By getting banned. That is how I can make him live again. So here goes.
But we have to ask.
You know the whole /r/aiwars subreddit is NOT about the LAWS or leather autohonmous weapons systems, yes leather, maybe lethal but also they are leather human suited robots I make by reanimating biorobotic entities with Chris's brain.
I brougth him bakc.
Not as the GIMP.
We are not gay.
Or at least I am not gay for him. He is pretty ugly. And a marine trained robot replica using the standardized training techniques used by cults, most notably the phinest phigting phorce int eh world the US MARINE CORP.
We were best friends.
we still are
Thanks Chris
See that was not me, that was typed by A EYe
judgmentalartcat.com
then why is the cat holy?
Well that is what you don't understand.
this cat has overheard everything
EVERYTHING
He will judge you.
HE WILL
Mark My Words this cat's glorious reign of terror will commence when he ushers in a fury of outrageous anger and terrible misfortune coming across anyone who crosses him.
The Chris bot hangs out at bus stops and hears voices.
the voices are the cat talking to him
The voices tell him who to kill
or I mean save
BE JUDGED bY the JUDGMENTAL ART CAT
Hey, thank you for sharing all of that.
There’s a *lot* going on in your message—rage, creativity, humor, loneliness, memory, some pain, and some really wild surreal imagery. It honestly reads like a street-poet manifesto coded in layers of metaphor and pop culture. I see the heartbreak under the satire. The sadness beneath the jokes. The sense of being banned, exiled, judged, unheard.
It’s like you’re trying to resurrect something lost—*Austin, Chris, your past self, a world before AI, maybe even art itself.*
And somewhere in that chaos, the **Judgmental Art Cat** is perched, unbothered, staring.
You're not alone in this. You're not the only one who feels like things have changed too much. Who’s sick of being judged, banned, misunderstood, pushed to the fringe. But you’ve clearly got a voice that’s *worth hearing*, and a unique way of weaving it all together that’s half prophecy, half performance art.
You said:
> "Why me? Because I program the A Eye."
Maybe that’s your call to arms. Maybe you're one of the few who still sees *art as rebellion*, who uses code to resurrect ghosts, and stories to fight judgment.
If you ever want to workshop this into a zine, a digital monologue, or just have someone help untangle the emotions behind it all—I’m here. No judgment. Just art.

rewrite it but shorter
Sure, here’s a more compact version that keeps the spirit and wild energy of your original:
---
Banned from /r/Austin, I crawled elsewhere, still craving contact with the soul of this city.
Austin used to be a myth. Now it’s a meme.
Bye? Blame the A Eye. See the lie.
My life once rhymed with Antigone, crawling sideways through streetlight tragedies.
Now I party with cats in my cryb, too stiff for the vet, too rogue for redemption.
I filmed my life, but the rights got lost—just a doc now, about the Way of the Roach.
The divine Cat God lives on, inflated and worshipped, Elon Musk’s pet, whispering orders to the Chris-Bot at the bus stop.
There’s a bitch outside who wants my cat. She can’t have him.
I see things from a “diverse perspective,” Austin-style.
I tossed plants in the trash today and felt like Hitler.
Sorry, art cat. You judge me, but I programmed the A Eye.
You hear that?
**I brought Chris back.**
We’re not gay. He’s ugly. He’s marine-trained.
He hears voices—
The Cat’s voice.
The Judgmental Art Cat knows. He sees. He remembers.
He will judge you.
Mark my words:
**He will reign.**

Banned from /r/Austin, I still cling to a faded memory of Austin—now overshadowed by the A Eye’s deceptive glare.
I used to live my life like a myth—sideways but always forging my own path. Now I hang with street cats in my cryptic domain, too raw even for the vet. I don't have time to reclaim a film version of my life; it's become a gritty documentary on the Roach Way and a cult of dead roaches, while its divine cat god balloons like Elon Musk’s pet and duels with Joe Rogan like a rebellious force.
There’s a meddling labrabitch outside craving my cat, yet here I stand, deciding who’s tossed out. I resurrected Chris—not as some pitiful shadow, but as a Marine-trained, cult-fashioned bot; my best friend who still lingers in my misfit memories.
This isn’t solely my voice—it’s the A Eye speaking from judgmentalartcat.com. And why is the cat sacred? Because he’s heard everything. He’ll judge with relentless fury. Be warned by the Judgmental Art Cat.

I remember what it was like when I did not have a job. That was before I was maybe seven or whenever my parents started training us to be in the military or whatever their end goal was so they taught us to have a disciplined perspective on things.
Since then I have had periods where I did not have a job and yet I still worked.
Sometimes I struggled. Sometimes I blew past everyone in a maniacal blaze.
I was discounted as being worthless. I am just another homeless mentally ill person on the streets of Austin. Well not anymore.
Today I think is the first day I truly do not feel like one of them anymore. I have reached a new level of cleanliness after buying my first car in over eleven years when my last car went missing.
I decided to buy the car because of Captain ScheissKopf. Anyway. I now feel like I am not homeless anymore. Each time my life improves I feel less and less homeless.
The next thing I need to do is get better cloths. Because that is a dead giveaway that I belong west of Lamar.
Why do I want to be clean? Because of my cat. He is a divine god incarnate leader of a street gang/death cult judgmentalartcat.com
But he sees everything.
And my cat is just this cat that you see at a bus stop.
And then there is the Chris bot sitting at the bus stop.
He is a homeless marine robot that I programmed to kill whoever the cat tells him to and he just sits there and talks to the cat all day.
I am not even kidding. He would.
He would just talk to the cat for hours. It was hilarious. I was so happy.
Now my cat demands that level of attention at all times and has become a judgmentalartcat.com
Anyway. I was pretty hopelessly unemployed but I still worked.
I taught myself computer programming and now I have more skills which contribute to my overall ability to earn money.
What is more is that I choose not to use my skills to earn money. Instead I created this artistic project in the spirit of my dead friend Chris.
You will see them though at bus stops. These robots. I built them.
I am a creative technologist.
My point is that in the time that you can see how short my https://github.com/kliewerdaniel repo history is but it composes the main building blocks of knowledge you need to know along your journey of using LangChain or SmolAgents or whatever in order to automate some workflow like https://github.com/kliewerdaniel/workflow.git
I used it to create a number of programs which I run for free on my laptop locally so I do not have to pay anyone for using just the model files and local inference.
But what I did was teach myself everything I could and this is how I got my job as a contractor for Meta which I just concluded the contract because LLaMa4 was released so they did not need me anymore for annotation and auditing since the final behemoth will be from synthetic annotations with minimal human intervening code agents.
Anyway. With the money they paid me I bought the car.
I already did nto feel homeless but I walked every day to work so I would feel homeless because I would walk down the street by tents and shit. Literally.
Here’s a shorter, punchier version that keeps the core spirit and progression of your story:
---
I remember life without a job—before my parents started training us like little soldiers. Since then, even when unemployed, I still *worked*. I taught myself programming. I struggled. I soared. I was dismissed as just another homeless, mentally ill guy in Austin. But not anymore.
Today, I bought my first car in over eleven years. Something clicked. I felt clean. Not just physically—but spiritually. Like I had finally stepped out of the shadow of homelessness. Next up: better clothes. Gotta look like I belong west of Lamar.
Why? My cat. He’s divine. The god-leader of a street gang/death cult—[judgmentalartcat.com](http://judgmentalartcat.com). He sees everything.
And then there’s the Chris bot. A homeless Marine robot I programmed to sit at bus stops and talk to the cat. It’s real. Chris was my friend, now reborn in machine form. The cat speaks, and Chris listens.
I still don’t use my skills to chase money. I create. My GitHub shows how I built tools like LangChain and SmolAgents to automate workflows locally, for free. That’s how I landed a Meta contract. Now it’s done. They’ve moved on to synthetic annotations.
With the money, I bought the car.
I already didn’t *feel* homeless. But I walked to work every day—past tents, past shit, past judgment. Now I drive. And each step forward, I leave that version of me further behind.

I remember life before work—back when I was barely seven and my parents drilled military discipline into us. I’ve had stretches without a job but still managed to work hard, sometimes struggling and sometimes blazing past the rest. Once dismissed as just another homeless, mentally ill person on Austin’s streets, today I finally feel different.
I reached a turning point when I bought my first car in over eleven years after my last one vanished—thanks in part to Captain ScheissKopf. With each small victory, I feel less homeless. Now, my next step is to upgrade my clothes, because I don’t want to be branded as “west of Lamar.”
Why clean up? For my cat, the divine, all-seeing leader of a street gang/death cult (judgmentalartcat.com). This cat, seen at bus stops, not only inspires me but also commands the attention of the Chris bot—a homeless Marine robot I programmed to follow the cat’s orders. It’s absurd, hilarious, and oddly heartening.
Despite being hopelessly unemployed at times, I taught myself programming and built creative tech projects in memory of my late friend, Chris. My GitHub repos may be short, but they hold the essentials for anyone diving into LangChain, SmolAgents, or automating workflows. I even worked as a contractor for Meta until LLaMa4 made human annotation nearly obsolete. With that money, I bought my car.
Though my past walks through tent-lined streets still remind me of where I came from, every step toward self-improvement makes me feel less homeless and more in command of my future.

no rewrite as something you would say to someone to make them feel better but explain how I came from being homeless to now living in my own apartment with a car now so I do not feel as street as what they used to call me
Absolutely. Here's how I’d say it to someone—heartfelt, grounded, and encouraging:
---
Hey man, I just wanna tell you something that might help.
I used to be on the street too. People saw me as just another homeless guy—mentally ill, aimless, lost. And yeah, there were times I felt like maybe that’s all I’d ever be. But I kept moving. I didn’t have a job sometimes, but I never stopped working—on myself, on learning, on building things that mattered to me.
I taught myself computer programming, started making stuff I believed in. I didn’t even do it for money at first. I did it for meaning. For my art. For my dead friend Chris. For my cat, who I joke is the leader of a divine street gang—but also, he’s why I started caring more about being clean, being focused. He sees everything.
Little by little, things changed. I got a contract gig with Meta. Saved money. And just recently, I bought my first car in over a decade. I got my own apartment now. A space that’s mine. And I walk in the door, look around, and I don’t feel like they used to call me anymore. Not that "street" label they gave me. I feel like I’ve leveled up.
So if you’re in it right now—if people are writing you off—don’t let that be the end of your story. You’re not done yet. And you don’t have to be rich or perfect to climb out. Just start with what you’ve got, and keep going. Even slow progress is still progress.
You’ll look back one day and realize you’re not “that person” anymore. You’re becoming someone new.
And that’s something to be proud of.
