just wanted to add some thoughts to the memory vial/brain dead au (or whatever we're calling it)

because of course ford's guilt about using the memory gun on stan is so much worse than it is in canon, not just for the obvious reasons but also because like

this wasn't the plan

Stan agreed to have his memories erased—of course he did, the whole thing was his idea. But he didn't know he was going to die. Granted, I feel like Stan probably still would've been willing to make that sacrifice if he had known that. But I don't think Ford would've.

Ford just thought he was turning his brother into an amnesiac, and even then he almost couldn't bring himself to pull the trigger. And of course he knew it was going to hurt, having Stan look at him like he's a stranger, but at least that's the outcome he was preparing himself for.

He was not prepared to see Stan's body topple over on its side, his unblinking eyes staring blankly ahead. Ford rushes to his brother's aid, grabbing him by the shoulders, trying to rouse him, calling his name (except, he wouldn't know his own name anymore, would he?). Stan's not moving. He's not breathing. Oh God, he's not breathing. Ford glances at the memory gun on the ground next to them, and horror washes over him as he realizes what he's done. The gun erased more than just memories, it erased everything. Stan's brain was a floppy drive and Ford was the magnet, wiping it clean and leaving it broken beyond repair.

No, no, this wasn't the plan. Time to call off the con. This wasn't supposed to happen. Stop, cut, abort mission, abort mission!

But it's too late. What's done is done, and he can't take it back.

Oh God, I killed him.

Sobbing now, Ford mutters choked-out apologies, first to Stan's body as he holds him tight—and again at his grave after he's buried. And the apologies start up anew every time he visits.

As the years go on, Ford is haunted by all the what-ifs that might've saved his brother's life. What if he had thought to type "Stanley Pines memories" into the memory gun instead of just "Stanley Pines", would it have kept his essential brain functions intact? Hell, what if he typed in "Bill Cipher"? Would that have been enough to kill the bastard and still let Stanley keep most of his memories and, more importantly, his life?

Ford doesn't know the answer to that question. And he'll never know. Because as much as he longs for it, he'll never have that chance to go back and do it differently.

I'm trying to learn to code and I do believe that coding is a type of Saw Trap. Jigsaw about to show up on my phone and say "You will notice on your monitor, that there is an issue launching your file because it thinks there is a problem on line 237, even though you did the same thing to line 228. Solving this issue will suddenly make 228 not work. You have to figure this out without having a mental breakdown. Failure to complete this task will make your computer explode."

Back to back scam asks from the same account showed up in my inbox. I'm always curious and clicked on the GFM and once again it's got all the red flags. First of all, the ask did the whole "Dear Humanity" thing. We know that's a red flag.

Second, it then says to click the GFM link or use PayPal. In the GFM the organizer says they will use PayPal to send the money. Red flag number 2 as it has been well established that PayPal does not work in Gaza or the Palestinian Territories. Even Al Jazeera says it doesn't work. Then we get to the fun nugget of the ahistorical revisionism.

This is clearly a bad copy and paste. The space on the second line only happens when you copy and paste some text that is formatted oddly and don't delete the extraneous spacing. Also, this is the exact same text multiple other scams have used on their respective GFMs. I even talked about this on another post where I first encountered this particular narrative. And let's be clear. This didn't happen. The Israeli response didn't happen in any significant manner until the 9th. They were literally still fighting in Israel proper, counting the dead, going through the wreckage of the attacks, and identifying bodies. This only seeks to change the well established timeline of events. It changes it from "We were the aggressors on October 7th and cheered on the actions that occurred" to "We were actually the victims and that attack never occurred, in fact we were attacked". That's blatantly and factually wrong, and the fact that people are falling for it or not calling out the blatant lie because "something something Israel bad" is horrific. But let's continue through the story we're given. Apparently one of the children was injured some period of time ago. We don't know when. We're told it was when they went to the south. Well that was a long time ago in the context of this war, and the pictures we're given provide no context. So either these injuries happened a while ago and have since been treated or they happened recently and have since been treated (but I'm also told there are no hospital in Gaza???). Yes, continuing and more specialized treatment outside of Gaza is often necessary. But the ask literally has none of the previous hallmarks of "here's what it will take to get out and get treatment" that we've seen previously and what is now common knowledge.

And here's the kicker, If you take the images in this GFM and reverse search them they link to multiple other GFMs using different organizers around the globe, but all with the same story. All of them have a variety of copy and paste edits, and many of them have pictures of other people from other GFMs interspersed throughout. So yeah, this was a very clear and obvious scam and once again adds to the ever growing pile of why we don't trust these accounts that continuously pop up and ask for money while attempting to pull at heartstrings.

Hey Linux users! Do you trust untested AI-generated bash scripts

Assume that you checked the script to make sure the script did what you wanted to do and that it's safe (eg, no rm -rf when you're not deleting something, or unnecessary use of sudo, etc) but you didn't test the script on a VM, test server, etc.

Personally, my answer is no, because I don't trust AI, and I believe you should always test all your bash script (unless they are super simple)

finally got to construction robots in factorio and decided to refactor (ha ho) my whole setup and implement a bus system like the wiki describes, and now i've completely wrecked my sleep again

[piratesexmachine420]

I was trying to see if I could post a bit of ASCII art I did earlier and I got so fucking fed up with Tumblr/Firefox refusing to let me paste pre-formatted text that I decided to take matters into my own hands. Here's a thrown-together script that uses xdotool and xkbcli to convert a file into keystrokes events. Eat my ass rich text fields.

#!/bin/bash # usage: paste-xdotool.sh [sleep amount] [file name] sleep $1 while IFS= read -rN1 char; do xdotool key $(xkbcli how-to-type $(printf '%d' "'$char") | sed -nE "1s/.*[[:space:]]+(.*)[[:space:]]+.*/\1/p" | sed "s/Linefeed/shift+enter/") done < $2

Scripts: What are they, and what aren't they?

Unfortunately, scripts have been subject to major misinformation within certian OEA spaces. Examples are terms such as 'miniscripts', how many scripts a system can have, what media can be a script, etc. This post will cover all of that, as well as provide sources to the best of my ability. These sources contain material that can be triggering, so please tred carefully.

What are scripts?

The term 'script' itself is linked to svalispeaks, who is not a good source. However, the concept itself is documented and referenced to in other ways, so please keep that in mind.

Simply put, a 'script' is a piece of media used as an internal organization program to lay out a systems innerworld, hierarchy, and parts. When done properly, scripts will be a seen in almost everything in a systems internal parts. Those scripted in a particular media will have alters based on characters and a piece of the innerworld based on the universe, each serving a specifically programmed purpose.[1, chp 4 & 6][2 , pg 94]

Scripting will typically begin in infancy or very young age, as any programming does. [3][4][5] This is because the older the child is, the more difficult it is to implement programming, as possible dissociative responses and state of integration have already begun to develop. [6]

Groups that attempt scripting are typically large, sophisticated and organized, as they require a substantial amount of space and time (ex. Multiple rooms and prompts, ability to perform wide ranges of abuse, ability to have frequent access to child). [3][4][5][7 , chp 2 & 4]

Internal structures are common in those who have dealt with TBMC. However, not all of them are scripts. The difference between other structures and scripts are the addition of specific media, such as a religious book, to outline the system.

Scripts vs Forced Introjection

Programmed Introject =/= Script =/= Forced Introject

People often confuse forced introjection for scripts. Sometimes, survivors may even confuse a general introject for a part of a script. While scripts do involve forced introjection, not all forced introjection is scripting.

A script involves more than one alter, programmed around one another, as well as effects to the system structure, innerworlds, and applied programs. Forced introjection does not have to be a part of a script, or even part of OEA at all.

A common example of non-scripted forced introjects, that may themselves be programmed, are abuser introjects. These introjects can be programmed, but may not be a part of a script. [8 , pg 51]

Outside of that, systems may have forced introjects that aren't programmed, or involved in OEA at all. This could be possible from further abuse at a later date, where the perpetrator utilizes the persons CDD to try and get them to split a certian introject. This could be an example of conditioning, but not programming.

Myths and Misinformation:

1. Any piece of media can be a script.

1a. Viable media for scripting must be simple enough for a young child to understand, must have clear and reoccurring themes and morals, and has a consistent storyline. This is due to age of the victim. Media that has been around for a long time are more than likely able to fit these things, along with the fact that repeat adaptations and reoccurrence of the story is common. New, complicated, and long pieces of media make scripting extremely difficult or impossible. Groups that do have the resources to script victims are more likely to resort to tried and true methods, and media that reflects their values [ex. Religious documents], rather then making up an entirely new scripting method.

2. There is no limit on the number of scripts you can have.

2a. Due to the nature of scripts being the complete base of the system, or a major part of it, it would be incredibly difficult to implement more than one script without it failing and breaking down. The child would become very confused and internal structures wouldn't work as required. There is hardly any reason to have more than one script anyways, given the time and effort gone in to creating one.

3. 'Miniscripts.'

3a. 'Miniscripts' are the idea of a script that purposely only involves one layer, or only a couple of alters. While it is possible to have failed or broken programming that results in a broken script, the purpose of a script itself means that it will inhabit more than just a small area of the system. Like previously mentioned, the presence of multiple scripts can easily cause dysfunction and break down the system. Often, 'miniscripts' are just other organizational programming, forced introjection, or simply introjects by themselves.

4. Every TBMC survivor with a CDD has a script.

4a. This is completely false. In fact, it's likely less common to have a script, let alone a fully functioning/complete one, due to the time and effort it takes to implement. You can be programmed and not have a script. It's possible to not have a script yet have other organizational programming. You do not need one.

Specific Scripts:

There were a lot of sources on this matter that I've found but don't particularly trust, but have been sited by ones I do. For this reason I have left out mentions of specific scripts as I didn't have detailed references. However, for the sake of this post, I'd like to mention these following specific scripts I've seen mentioned, however brief, in reading:

The Wizard of Oz

Alice In Wonderland

Nursery Rhymes and Fairy Tales

Original Disney Princesses

Religious Texts

This is not to say these are the only scripts possible, ever. These are just ones I've seen referenced to in a clinical sense, and thus I assume are the most common.

Thank you for reading. If you have any questions, feel free to send an ask or reply to this post. A reminder that I am not a professional, I am flawed, and am just doing my best.

I was forced to use python at work today.

It actually wasn't terrible but damn do I miss types

figuring out what what I thought was a string is actually a dictionary AT RUNTIME is SO FUCKING ANNOYING because I forgot a .values() somewhere

The one life advice I can give is to believe that you will get what you’re looking for. You’ll get the the house and the money, the friend, the social dynamic/interactions, the material things etc..

For me, I define belief as ‘a story that you keep telling’.

I make it a daily habit to ask myself, “Do I believe that ?” with the noise that goes on in my head.

And I’m basically asking myself: are you going to continue telling that story? Are you going to continue claiming that reality until it comes true?

If it’s not in front of you and it’s making you feel bad, question if you want to believe it.

9.5 times out of 10 the answer is no.

Showtape Intermission Banter:

“All Eyes on Dook”

After 40 years of playing in the band, Dook gets confronted that he’s been doing it wrong the whole time.

- written by Yoshi

FATZ: (looks at Dook) ya know what Dook?

DOOK: (looks at Fatz, puzzled) what?

FATZ: people sayin’ yor not playin’ those drums correc’lay

DOOK: huh?

FATZ: (assertive) they sayin’ yor not hold’n those drum sticks ya got in yo hands right

DOOK: (confused) well how am I suppose’ tuh hold ‘em?

FATZ: in your hand—

DOOK: (cuts off Fatz, raises voice) I am! look! they’uh in mah hands. What are you gettin’ on about Fatz?

FATZ: (shaking head in disapproval) no no no no no, you didn’t lemme finish

DOOK: (annoyed, raises voice) I’m hold’n ‘em in my hands!

FATZ: (calmly and quietly) Dook.

DOOK: (responds calmly) yeah.

FATZ: they’uh sayin’ that yor holdin’ them like how a caveman would hold uh spoon

DOOK: huh, what’s that suppose’ tuh mean? What’s a caveman, what’s a spoon? Yo makin’ no sense to me Fatz.

FATZ: basic’lay, you’uh hold’n em too tight… and at the wrong angle too

DOOK: (confused) what does that have tuh do wit cavemen and spoons?

FATZ: never mind the cavemen and spoons, I shouldn’t have brought that up, had I known you’d get so confused

DOOK: what’s that suppose’ tuh mean? You sayin’ I’m stupid? (Looks around center stage) Guys, yo’ not gonna let Fatz talk tuh me like this, right?!

MITZI: (quietly and politely engages) well… I mean Fatz may be onto something

BEACH BEAR: (calm and collective, talks slowly) listen Dook, there’s nothing wrong with learning that you’re not particularly the greatest at something

DOOK: (raises voice) what?! Are you guys bein’ serious right now?!

BEACH BEAR: I think we’re making a polite attempt to articulate to you that it maybe time you start considering the steps to improve yourself as a drummer, that’s all

DOOK: (regular volume, but rude) Beach Bear, do I even need tuh get started on yo’ guitar playin’ oh’vuh there. Ya know, I try to stay quiet bout it cuz it don’t really mattuh, but if this is what we’re gettin’ at today, then—

FATZ: (cuts Dook off) alright alright, we’re gettin’ off track, let’s get back tuh what we was talking bout earlier

BEACH BEAR: yeah, let’s get back to that Fatz

DOOK: (still not over it, continues conversation) ok… you told me that all I gotta do is hit this drum in front of me with these sticks, and occasionally hit dis metal thing on the side too, dats it… and dats what I’ve been doin’

FATZ: When did I say that?

Dook: when you picked me up off thuh streets, remembuh? I was lookin’ for a gig to help save up fo’ a trip tuh space… then you came along sayin’ yor in a band or somethin’, and that band needed a drummuh… I didn’t know what dat was, but you was like, “no problem man, can you pick up these sticks and hit this drum in front of ya?”, and I said “really, that’s all I gotta do?”, then you gave me the gig… and here we are 40 years latuh and now you’re complainin’??

FATZ: is that really how it went?

DOOK: yes.

FATZ: I find that very hard to believe, but I would rather not keep this conversation goin’ any longer

DOOK: no Fatz, you started it. You insulted me. You know how sensitive I am about y’all making fun of me

FATZ: Dook, Dook, Dook, no one is making fun of you

MITZI: Yeah Dook, we’re not making fun of you

DOOK: you are.

FATZ: no I am not, I am providing you with the people’s constructive criticism

DOOK: (confused) construction wha’?

FATZ: constructive criticism… it’s how you learn to improve

MITZI: yeah, I think they’re just trying to be helpful

DOOK: by insultin’ me?

FATZ: no, that’s not what they’uh doin’

DOOK: so what do they want me tuh do?

FATZ: I think we need to teach you how tuh properly drum, that’s what they sayin’

DOOK: 40 years latuh man?? You can’t teach this old dog new tricks. Where was dis conversation 35 years ago??

FATZ: Dook don’t act like you wouldn’t be actin’ the exact same way have we had this conversation 35 years ago

DOOK: umm… ak’shuallllyyyy—

FATZ: (cuts Dook off) do you want the money or not?

DOOK: (begrudgingly complies) fine.

FATZ: very well, we’ll continue this discussion later. Sorry to keep you folks wait—

DOOK: (cuts Fatz off) hold up, you are not apologizin’ to them for somethin’ you started?!

FATZ: (ignores Dook) folks, I apologize fo’ that delay in our show, we are gettin’ started—

DOOK: (shakes head) unbelievable.

FATZ: (Fatz continues speaking ignoring Dook) with our next medley that we’ve been working on perfecting for y’all

DOOK: (begrudgingly looks away from Fatz towards stage right)

Letting everyone know that cobalt.tools is perfectly legal for downloading Youtube music and videos

Also works on most other social medias (including this one)

It also has a GREAT API, I've written a Python script where you paste in a playlist link and it downloads each individual video as an MP3

I have a discord bot version plus a few other things coming up

IDK if that's something anyone's interested in though. Let me know, please! Reblog for visibility! It helps a lot!

Random question but what do you write your scripts in?

Nothing special, I just write my stuff in google docs so that I can have easy access to it.

going into my final week of classes and we always have one last week after the final paper (so the professors have time for grading) where typically the only work we have is one last discussion post.

usually, this post is pretty simple and light (to go easy on us after the final). my ethics class is like “summarize your conclusions from your final paper! :)” and my communications class is like “tell the class about your career goals! :)”

meanwhile, statistics…
