Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.

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:

1. ADHD is real and it will ruin my potential if I don't face it head on. The medication won't work on me yet, though, so tell Mom and Dad I NEED to get back on medication when my brain is more developed in a couple years.
2. Also, for future reference: it isn't actually a deficit of ATTENTION at all--it's really stupidly named by neurotypicals who don't fucking get it--it's TIME BLINDNESS and a deficit of IMPULSE CONTROL and EXECUTIVE FUNCTION.
3. Sugar is going to make me extremely sick and all my weight and fitness issues come directly from carbohydrate overdose. STOP drinking soda, and avoid refined/homogenized starch!
4. I'm about to enter the most painful and traumatizing stage of my formative years. The middle school I'll be attending starting 6th grade will be hell on earth. I need to keep my FUCKING mouth shut and not talk to ANYONE unless they talk to me. I also need to practice the skill of mindful dissociation and compartmentalization. Stoicism will be my only shelter.
5. Yes the adults around me are morons and don't know what they're talking about, but broken clocks can be right twice a day. In this case, they're correct about homework and studying being important for the wrong reasons: It is NOT about satisfying the expectations of teachers, but rather it is entirely for practicing the skill of internalizing and recalling information. I will not regret time I spend on it.
6. Mom and Dad are struggling financially right now. Dad's racking up debt while Mom is the only reliable source of income. That's why they would "hold onto" my birthday and xmas money "for safekeeping". it is neither kept nor safe; it's gone. All of it. HIDE ANY MONEY I RECEIVE... and tell grandpa to buy stock in Apple.
7. Express early interest in nuclear energy and pursue it with everything I've got. Approach via Mechanical Engineering. I'll enjoy Computer Aided Drafting in High School.
8. Remember the major incidents to come: Columbine and zero tolerance policy in 1999, also dotcom bubble crash, Al Gore will lose in 2000, WTC will be destroyed by a terrorist attack 2001-09-11, Bush Jr administration will cause the housing market to crash as well by 2008, America succumbs to Fascism in 2016, and there will be a global plague in 2020.
9. I'm a furry and I am not actually a boy despite being assigned male at birth. Embrace androgyny. Get online. Find my tribe. Draw a lot.

holy shit i'm going to make sure Apple stays dead forever :D

gonna miss you, lemm.ee.

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.

i am not surprised that someone who is surrendering will say literally anything that they think will coincide with their survival.

for all the harm he's done, i am only grateful that he will do no more, irrespective of his rationale. I don't care why someone eventually chooses to do the right thing because actions speak louder than words and intentions.

Ah, here it is. The big one, the one that I missed. I'm just gonna bookmark this for posterity... Wow. I mean, I know that all those casualties are not necessarily fatalities but still, that's a lot of punishment and Russia absolutely deserved every last bit of it.

how quickly and readily i feel a surge of hope watching someone see the light and accept the chance to live. i hope this man reawakens his humanity once properly fed and clothed and rested.

Oh wow. i missed the moment the Million Mark was surpassed.

...

of all the madness happening in the world, I'm so desperate for a silver lining that I caught myself thinking "well... maybe iran's supply lines of materiel to russia might experience some disruption"

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:

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)
