I am Lattrommi. Yes, that one. You’ve never heard of me? I’m not surprised. It is often said that anything you put on the internet will live there forever. It becomes immortal. I do everything backwards and wrong. I do not live forever, I am always dying. ¿|√∞²|?

  • If you can offer advice without her becoming defensive or taking offense to it, suggest exercising more and taking supplements for B and D vitamins. An alternative way to suggest it, would be to ask if she wants to join you for a walk outside. It would be a great time to talk about life in general as well. Of course, that’s only a good suggestion if it is convenient and possible, not if you live separately and/or over a long distance.

    Exercise, even something as simple as casually walking for 30 minutes a day, has been shown to improve symptoms for a huge variety of mental and physical health problems. Her issues might be coming from something physical health related that hasn’t been caught yet or possibly even discovered yet. A doctor might attribute symptoms to a mental disorder when it could actually be caused by a treatable physical malady, like rickets or scurvy.

    A chronic issue many people face today, especially younger people, is a lack of sunlight. The body uses sunlight to create vitamin D. With winter making it difficult to get outdoors, it can be easy for some to become deficient. The sunlight can’t come from a window for vitamin D, the glass blocks the necessary UVB rays.

    Having been diagnosed with many disorders in my life (OCD, ADHD {actually ADD but that’s not a thing anymore}, Bipolar type III, Schizoaffective, antisocial personality disorder and GAD to name a few. I do not believe I have all of those but ADHD and OCD seem accurate enough to me), I can say that walking outside has improved my mental health and overall health tremendously. I’m less angry, have more energy and can focus on things slightly longer than I could before.

    Reducing my screen time I think also helps possibly. I have a theory about screens, that since they don’t produce the full spectrum of light that the sun does, spending too much time staring at a screen increases the chance of vitamin deficiencies and might cause some of the mental disorders that aren’t fully understood (so like, most of them in my opinion) or others that haven’t been defined.

    I’ve read that it is recommended to walk outdoors, preferably away from motor vehicle traffic, for about 3 hours a week for the body to create an appropriate amount of vitamin D. I can’t quote a source on that, I simply recall reading it and I believe it is true. It might not be true. On that note, this obviously isn’t a cure and I am not a doctor or a professional of any kind. I simply think it might help and I truly hope it does.


  • How are you delivering it? That’s a lot of pennies.

    I’m asking the wrong question, does it have to be the same 1 million dollars you gave me? Can it be something which is valued (by you) at 1 million dollars?

    How does inflation effect this? A million dollars today might not be worth a million dollars in a year.

    If I buried a million dollars worth pennies in my backyard, well actually, I probably wouldn’t be done digging the hole after a year. Also, I don’t actually have a backyard. If I did have a yard and it already had a large pit dug, which could contain a million bucks worth of pennies, after a year would I need to haul them out for you or does your OP magic also allow for easy transportation?

    Is your OP magic for sale? Must be less than 1 million dollars or I can’t afford it.


  • I keep folders of bookmarks and then right click > open all in tabs depending on what i’m doing.

    i like to start with by opening a bunch of tabs depending on my task, then close them as i progress. if i need to stop with many tabs still open, like with topics being researched for projects, i’ll save all tabs to a temp folder to resume later. about once a month i clean the temp folder and sort things i want to save in various categorical folders.

    the categories are divided in a hierarchal manner of my own design, which is arbitrary and fluctuates constantly. my last count showed i was just a few shy of 2,000 bookmarks. it’s current state is like this:

    myshit

    -my emails

    -my websites (created by me)

    -mine (sites with content about me but not made by me, like interviews)

    -my cloud storage

    -friends sites

    -job search

    -gov shit

    -banking

    -adult

    -hookers (dating sites and local shopping like craigslist)

    tools

    -testing

    -networking

    -conversions

    -freeshit

    -search engines

    -info (things like cheat sheets, connector and componant ID’s, thesaurus, etc)

    maps (i like maps)

    -weather

    -geology

    -contamination

    -space

    -water

    -animals

    -electronic

    -human stuff

    -other

    all this shit

    -ai

    -art

    -audio

    -auto (need to remove as my car died and i can’t afford a new one)

    -business

    -compsci

    -d&d

    -electronics

    -emoji/symbols

    -gaming

    -graphing

    -hardware

    -homebuying

    -language

    -linuxcetera (has several nested categories)

    -nature

    -neat people

    -neat websites

    -programming

    -psychology

    -radio (amateur)

    -virtualization

    temp

    -dated folders of project related tabs


  • Sounds like everything you try doing to de-escalate things backfires. Consider reversing course and escalate hard. Play pornographic videos loudly (if you know their sexuality, play videos that are not), throw shit around, move furniture as a daily workout, let out orgasmic screams at random, re-enact choice scenes from Stomp! and drown out their retaliatory noises until you are unable to hear them anymore.

    If the landlord tries to say anything, play it innocent, do not let on that this is vengeance, say it’s just a misunderstanding or that you didn’t realize how loud it was. They wanna say it’s all you, make it all you and then some. Fight fire with fire. Make them fear you. Make the landlord break the lease if you have one.

    The other options is to grey rock them but that’s a lot less fun. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/grey-rock#uses

    I’m not a professional anything. This is probably horrible advice. Talking to a lawyer might be the better option. Moving might be the best option.



  • yeah, true. mental illness accounts for more most likely.

    having outside eyes on me is an interesting thought. i have a caring support network that i talk to regularly, family members and a psychologist, to help keep me rooted on earth most of the time, if that’s what you meant by the question. the question could also be interpreted as being monitored or surveilled, like by police or the like, which insofar as i know, no more than the average citizen, no less.

    my hyperbole can be too hyperbole. the term adynaton comes to mind. idk if it’s from bipolar or adhd, like mania or hyperfocusing, or maybe artificial colors and lead paint or simply part of my personality or genetics. sometimes the imagination runs free, albeit disjointed at times.


  • The plan is to keep the people dumb, in debt, in jail, in fear and/or under their control. there’s the idea of accelerationism, where to force change, instead of doing things like lowering national debt or slowing climate change, to do whatever it takes to increase them or speed them up, make them worse and let the survivors figure it out. With the jails packed and turned into debtors prisons, utilizing the prison population as cheap labor and a legal form of slavery, they think they can create an industrial revolution. there’s also a scientific revolution they hope to bring about, detailed here later.

    When I say ‘they’ i’m referring to the US’s current administration of MAGt’s and muskrats, who also are in a triumvirate of power with vanilla pudding (the ruler of ru) and xj (if you gotta ask, you can’t afford it AKA the ruler of ch). they are the scamchurian candidates, the fronts of the real controllers, the ~2700 billionaires that are known about and a few other hundred that are probably hiding away somewhere. the goal is to end with control over the remaining 99.999999999% of the population by using about 2% to subjugate the rest and force change which will kill off 75% of the people (leaving a PROJECTed 25 percent left), which might slow global warming and the destruction of life on earth just long enough for the remaining scientist slaves to create a base on mars or underwater or in another dimension or whatever, where the 0.0000000001% will live, supplied by the space elevator or portal tech or whatever gets invented to allow them to continue their lavish lives at the cost of billions of others.

    so what does this tinfoil hat rant have to do with student loan debt beyond keeping people dumb?

    i have a theory using a metaphor based on Newton’s laws. they believe they are the unbalanced force in the first law, creating a change, disrupting the object in motion which is humanity and its future. they want to be, or believe they are, the result of the first law as shown by the application of the second law: the combination of mass and acceleration. they are the mass. they believe they are accelerating things. while the third law, every action has an opposite but equal reaction, is their methodology. by strengthening their hold over a large amount of educated people through debt and eliminating the department of education, it will suppress scientific progress and contain it, hoping to force a powerful reaction as the pressure builds and eventually boils out or explodes, resulting in some major scientific breakthrough that will save the day which they will take credit for. except it wont happen and instead there will be decades of unnecessary suffering as their plans fail miserably and all the bad things in the world continue to grow unchecked.

    treat all that the talking heads say, as not just lies but the exact opposite of the truth and the plan is revealed. when they make accusations, that’s what they are planning to do. when they claim something they are doing will help people or industry or whatever, it will hurt it severely. destroy the dollar and other major currencies to force a switch to a cryptocurrency they control. censor information and remove freedom of speech. murder, arrest or deport anyone who dissents too loudly. epsteins island was nothing, instead of a pedophile island they will create a pedophile nation.

    yeah, i know, this is all more than just a bit of a crazed rant. i can’t say i believe all this 100%. i don’t think it is all too far from the truth either. i wish i had the means to do something to stop it beyond ranting like a madman online. at least my student loans were forgiven. total and permanent disability did that. hooray. i’m debt free. now i can enjoy all that life has to offer… i had way too much coffee today.




  • Happy to see this. I had a similar idea once. About every 6 months I spend a day searching a few search engines for my name. My name is fairly unique. At least one person shares my first and last name. I have seen them appear in results, listed with criminal charges that were mine. The ones that show up, I look for ‘remove my data and do not sell my information’ instructions. If they are not there, I look for a contact page and e-mail them. in the email i include:

    • links with my data i want removed

    • links with my data misrepresenting other people, also with a request to remove

    companies that blatently disregard me or remove my data but return it later, by accident or not, after some time has passed, will also get requests to remove:

    • arbitrary links to random people which have nothing to do with me but might be confused thanks to enough similarities.

    • many of the same requests, from several different e-mails, basically spamming them.

    the idea, which is probably pointless, is to taint the data on the sites that don’t comply. i also assume the companies that return my info later, are tagging all removal requests together, because why would i want to remove the data of a completely unrelated stranger? i’m wishfully thinking they end up with bad data that damages their reputation. i call it ‘fauxkakke’ aka 'fake bukakke.

    the template:

    I understand this information is gathered from public sources and can still be found through other data brokers. I still wish for the linked profiles to be removed from your site. {links} If you claim that I have to pay a fee to remove my personal information from your website, I will file complaints at the following sites: https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us/requests/ https://www.bbb.org/consumer-complaints/file-a-complaint/get-started http://www.reddit.com/ This is not meant to be threatening. I have no ill feelings towards your company. I also am sending e-mails to other data brokers. I am merely exercising my right to privacy.


  • This was first published in 2021. There are some interesting points made.

    https://dessalines.github.io/essays/why_not_signal.html

    It has had a few updates since, then but I cannot vouch for its accuracy.

    It doesn’t cover audits per sé, but I feel there is important information that is tangentially related, since security audits become kind of moot if some of the items mentioned are true (i.e. CIA funding and US govt. tactics).

    Full disclosure, I still use Signal for a family group chat. I have very little economic value, thus my threat model is minimal. It mentions cats several times. I neither have cats, nor interact with them frequently enough to warrant their inclusion in a threat model.




  • Threat plan.

    Ask yourself the following:

    What do you have that you want to protect?

    Can be a person, place, thing, animal, mineral or vegetable.
    
    A hierarchy of importance is good to develop.
    
        Is your wife more important than your cat? 
    
        Is your fireproof safe full of legal documents more important than your computer?
    

    Who do you want to protect it from?

    Threats 
    
        Consider:
    
            Actions taken by humans
    
            Acts of nature (acts of your god?)
    
            The passage of time
    

    How likely is it that you will need to protect it?

    Remember:
    
        Privacy is important
    
        Everything breaks down eventually, both man and machine, society and civilization
    
            Will a hurricane demolish your mountaintop resort? 
    
            Will a landslide destroy your yatch? 
    
            Will looters ransack your home during an insurrection?
    
        Historical weather and earthquake data is useful to know
    

    How bad are the consequences if you fail?

    What do you have to lose beyond possessions and people?
    
        Reputation, freedoms, integrity, etc.
    

    How much trouble am you willing to go through to prevent these consequences?

    Will you go through worse if you don't prepare?
    
    Will you have the courage to act when the time comes?
    
    How many security cameras are needed to track a single cat? What about a married cat?
    

    After you feel you have answered these sufficiently, you can begin to prepare to protect yourself!


  • The person asking the trivia question needed to know the answer, so they could determine who was correct.

    Phones, as I understand them, average about 30 pings per second. That’s 30 times per second the phone is checking for signal strength with the nearest tower, among other data.

    They also work with any device that has wifi or bluetooth to help with location triangulation. So anyone at trivia that had their phone on them and powered, had their position noted as well as their proximity to others. If the location has smart TV’s on the walls, those were picking up the pings as well. If they have internet available to customers, there’s another point picking up the info.

    It’s already been shown that a few companies have listened to microphones. The data being extrapolated is so large, listening to the microphone would be counterproductive and redundant. There are devices everywhere, security cameras, billboards, inside each row of shelves at your grocery store, in every car that has a computer, lights at intersections, smart watches and other IOT devices, even appliances these days have wifi and bluetooth like refridgerators, coffee pots, robot vacuums, treadmills, i could go on.

    It’s scary that some company might be listening to your through your phones microphone but the real scary thing is that they don’t need to. They knew people at that trivia game would be searching for that answer before the question was even asked, without needing to listen in.



  • I try to follow a set of rules which define how i should live my life written in my own words, which essentially restate the golden rule/10 commandments/fundamental tenets/etc. I read them as myself, as if I’m giving advice to myself. Pronouns can be tricky. I don’t follow them perfectly and often will tweak the wording, hoping to avoid misinterpretation.

    I call them my veritaclaritives. (veritas + clarus = loud and clear truth; probably bad latin)

    • Always look out for #1

    • Always be prepared for a #2 (e.g. romance, friendships, shit)

    • Only desire what you require

    • It’s only theft if they need it more than you (emphasis on NEED)

    • Create more than you consume

    • Help people up, more and before you put anyone down

    • Treat everyone as a friend until they prove otherwise (emphasis on both THEY and PROVE; the golden rule)

    • Make amends with your friends, before an unexpected end (r.i.p. Nivec)

    • Keep your friends close, be your own worst enemy

    • If thoughts of any enemy anger you, you’ve already lost (note plural)

    • Destroy enemies until they are unable to do you harm

    • All enemies can be defeated through unconditional love.
