…truly i’m grateful you listened. What I experienced cannot be un-experienced, but … the only way there’s any chance of people doing something about this kind of terrible event, taking preventative measures against it, etc, is if they know it happens.
A peaceful existence comes from understanding conflict and how to address it.
I was sexually assaulted in the locker room by other students. No one believed me. I subsequently experienced a psychological breakdown. The traumagenic dissociation plunged me through egodeath and I stopped being a person for a year. I was literally not myself again until 2009. I am still slightly messed up to this day, but the two decades that followed immediately after the incident were especially rough.
Edit: this is not a dunk and I don’t hold it against you. By all accounts, in a better world, middle school shouldn’t be traumatizing. But unfortunately, this is not the better world.
1995…
I was 10 years old and in the 5th grade.
And I remember everything, huh? Hoo boy. Hoooo boyyyyy.
First thing I do is write this list while it’s still fresh in my mind:
holy shit i’m going to make sure Apple stays dead forever :D
honestly yeah, if the brainwashed chud households end up shedding more blood and the sane people who know better manage to avoid it, that’s a net good for the world.
If they made Elliott Roger a meme (for being a pathetic ineffectual piece of shit) this can be a meme.
Fucking REAL honestly!!! Any adult on that service is FESTOONED in Red Flags.
I stay the fuck away from it specifically because of all the pedophiles on there. Whole place gives me the ick big-time.
If I had excessive amounts of wealth, I’d seriously consider buying the entire thing just to immediately shut it down, except I know the predators will just find some other way to stalk their prey.
Shit, maybe it needs to be a Honeypot. If it IS one, it’s still not scraping enough scum, and its very business practice is inherently predatory too even WITHOUT the rampant child sexual molestation; it siphons labor out of children too.
Probably because it’s been downscaled from its full resolution.
Also rotated for some reason from the original? Or perhaps just rendered from the same mathematical sequence with some parameters swapped. Here’s an uncompressed one:
there are a lot of pieces that use one pixel per color too! you might really dig what people can do with it: it’s honestly astonishing the kinds of arrangements they can make just by mixing the colors.
The account was since banned, but looking into it, it appeared to be an impersonator account that existed to assassinate the character of an actual person named Danica Jefferies and in reality had nothing to do with her.
I’m guessing some virulent fascist with an ax to grind regarding some of the actual person’s journalism-adjacent work.
this fails to capture the grades of saturation.
Here is every color in the RGB (#000000-#FFFFFF) color space arranged sequentially on a Hilbert curve (but scaled down to 512x512)
reminds me of this vid:

i always felt weird about it. for me it never quite rose to levels of ‘the ick’ but i can totally understand how it might trip past the threshold for others.

Close, but more like radioactive family.
The fact that we can choose to enhance the permissions beyond their default scope on a case by case basis is powerful.
Part of why i knew so-called “digital rights management” was fucking bullshit was because very little software ever came out that empowered me to manage MY OWN rights in the digital space.
I need there to be FOSS applications that allow me to root-level BLOCK applications from perceiving what I’m doing, to just fucking SANDBOX ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING BY DEFAULT and let me whitelist what specific things are allowed to directly access the hardware.
Sadly I am not as tech savvy as I used to think I was. I might’ve been technologically clever twenty years ago but I hadn’t managed to keep up… I think what I’ve described might be referred to as a “hypervisor”? And I’m told it’s an overbearing, clumsy, heavy-handed overkill measure that would be difficult to implement and make everything a pain in the ass to do. So … shit, man, I dunno… i’m just so damn tired of my hardware being bossed around by people I didn’t authorize.
