although, that term is a misnomer: punishment is a tool whose purpose is to teach and reinforce behavioral changes.
This sack of shit will never learn anything. Erasing him would not be for his sake, but for the world’s.
Cyrus Draegur@lemmy.zipto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Yes, this is what people did back thenEnglish2·3 days ago…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.
Cyrus Draegur@lemmy.zipto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Yes, this is what people did back thenEnglish3·3 days ago[Exactly how traumatizing it was--Caution: NSFL]
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.

Therefore the law will not stop him.
Which means that the only way to stop him… has nothing to do with courts or judges or lawsuits.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Cyrus Draegur@lemmy.zipto Work Reform@lemmy.world•72% of Americans Say the Rich 'Have Too Much' as GOP Pursues Another Handout for BillionairesEnglish1·5 days agoI don’t actually believe there were any literal golden toilets, but rather that the term was a hyperbolic description of pork barrel spending. It’s basically a meme from last century.
This article casually mentions it https://www.chicagotribune.com/1992/08/30/everyone-knows-about-the-pentagons-gold-toilet/
but sadly it’s paywalled… here’s another though

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.

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:

Cyrus Draegur@lemmy.zipto Work Reform@lemmy.world•72% of Americans Say the Rich 'Have Too Much' as GOP Pursues Another Handout for BillionairesEnglish166·6 days agonot to mention how much of a profitable racket the democrat machine has built on losing elections.
Ever seen “The Producers”?
“It’s possible to make more money with a flop than a hit!”
(if you flop, nobody cares where the money went)
Well, with the democrats,
It’s possible to make more money with a loss than a win.
Because when their campaigns fail, all the money that was raised disappears into the wind.Gone to “consultancy contracts”, “speaking fees”, “ad spending”, and probably a few other golden toilet seats.
edit: it occurs to me that the term ‘golden toilet seats’ might not be as ubiquitous as i once thought.
So, it was kind of a meme in the '80s, '90s, and '00s that there were budgetary line items especially in military spending that made no sense whatsoever, like “toilet seats” that allegedly cost hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars.
They were labeled as innocuous things toward which it was hoped no scrutiny would be drawn based on their description…
but no actual toilet components or accessories were actually involved.
It was a fraudulent book-cooking tactic to obfuscate what those funds were really being spent on.Similarly, the United States Agency for International Development did do some legitimate work helping people, but SOME OF ITS PROJECTS were given green-washed and rainbow-washed code names, such as:
“HIV/AIDS awareness campaign on foreign university campuses”
where the work had nothing to do with actual disease awareness
and was actually recruiting students and radicalizing them toward anti-government sentiments
as a destabilization tactic.(basically miniature CIA shit)
USAID also directly funded various news outlets around the world and “through the implication” influenced what kind of coverage they published.
It’s ironic that musk’s absolute dipshittery may have accidentally damaged the united states’ soft power imperialism. like, he might’ve actually done the world a net favor by total accident, with the unfortunate side-effect of some rather conspicuous tragedy and hardship in the form of people who were being legitimately helped no longer receiving that help, for instance in food supplies and vaccines…

Yes. It’s a bug. We eat it because it used to be poor people food but got gentrified; Because if the poor ever have anything good, the rich will take it away from them.
