I saw Nick Cutter and wanted to ask this as well. The Troop was such a fantastic book with vile description and really left an impression on me. Fuck you Shelley.
Can someone explain the fourth panel? What’s the significance of the big red X and why is the background a pair of idiot knife ears making out in that wooden hellscape? I know it’s nauseating to look at their weird bald faces for too long but I’d appreciate the help. Probably some human nonsense.
There’s also going to be a stop motion tribute for OtGW released by the folks who make Wallace and Gromit on november third!
she viewed all of her peers as children since she felt she had more lived experience which is fine
That’s not fine. Her lived experience doesn’t seem to be translating to maturity at a rate worth bragging about whether the claim is true or not. The foundation of any healthy relationship is respect. I think that whether you want to confront anyone about these events or not, you would benefit from seeking out mutually respectful relationships.
Consider whether her actions can really be caused by a fault of yours if she belittles almost everyone in the same way.
So you took the literal scenario (woman in wheelchair gets insulting comment asking if her disability affects her sexually) and inverted it so that the insultor is disadvantaged against a hypothetical celebrity who causes them social harm. Why? Autism isn’t a fucking pallisade and it shouldn’t be used to counter attack legitimate points. You’re the one doing damage to perceptions of autistic people. Please stop.
“Nut meat” is a common phrase so I would guess the peanut product is closest, but please stop this line of thought for your own safety.
Confusingly, there’s actually two similar staves that get mixed up. The helix patterned one with two winged snakes I think you have in mind is called the Caduceus, but the the single wingless version I meant is the staff of Aesculapius (multiple spellings out there).
Go check out the alledged link between the snake wrapped staff that’s used to represent medicine and the treatment for guinea worms. Googling puts that theory with the Ebers papyrus from 1500 BC if it’s true!
It seems like you want people to examine their long held beliefs and customs, adopt your view that they are harmful and unethical, and change their behavior to match yours. A change that may have specific hurdles unknown to you for every individual.
Humans, being social animals, don’t typically react with reason to things that they percieve to be antagonistic. They tend to mirror hostility and are most likely to fight or disengage when facing an opponent, and cleave to the safety of the groups that accept them.
Just or not, the act of starting an interaction sets the tone. You’re completely justified in attacking villains and shaming them, but when you throw a devil costume on someone I don’t think you should be surprised when you get pitchforked.
Low effort speculation:
That’s a vodaphone portugal IP, but this is likely traffic routing though their customer cellular network and not their corporate. It’s possible that someone in PT has a similar username for this service and is fat fingering it. It’s also possible that you’re seeing a tiny sliver of a larger attack.
Spur.us tracks that IP as an egress point for openproxy and windscribe ResIP networks so it’s worth considering that the origin of the authentications you’re seeing may not be Portuguese cellphone but someone hiding behind those services.
Here’s a paper describing the difficulties such a service creates for folks trying to secure accounts with traditional IP reputation based rules. “Resident Evil: Understanding Residential IP Proxy as a Dark Service” https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8835239
Shooting in the dark for how a bad actor would monetize account takeover for this service if this is in fact an attack… They could try to sell your invitation to that private tracker. They could also look to scoop up a bunch of folks to try and blackmail based on what victims are download/seeding. Other more creative options I’m not thinking of might be on the table.
(The choice between a “daemon in the sheets” or “cronD in your log folder” joke is left as an exercise for the reader.)
