[Hi Dennis. How was the lion feeding?...?]
This has been something I've been working on for quite a while now, as some people who look at my insta story might know, but I'm finally done!! those text messages from s14ep5 are so unhinged, they haunt me every goddamn day. To drop "i love you so much" just to follow it with what essentially is a "no homo.. for u... even tho u r so hot and i like you so much!". exploading them with my mind into a million pieces, okay?
people need to specify it's not just that the US government wants bytedance to sell tiktok, they want it to be sold to a company the US government approves of. the implication being the end goal, if not a ban, is for the US government to gain control over content on the app.
however, this is not the only reason for the tiktok ban. notice how all "national security concerns" are directed specifically at companies from china? the US government doesn't want tech from china to compete with tech monopolies in the US. this has been ongoing
no, buddy, it's not about competition, it's about security. Russia and china are actively trying to influence the western people to vote for anti-western ideals. every Chinese company is owned by their government. all the US does it get this company to a us-approved one so it'll poison our minds LESS
What "un-western ideals?" Genocide is bad? Murdering civilians is wrong? Torture is bad? FUcking clown ass cunt for brains.

avoid conforming to traditional gender norms by avoiding this common palette:
try using these palettes instead!!
Not to be mean but they’re right. None of these would ever fit together
They’re DISGUSTING, op. I’m sorry, it’s better you hear it here than have your grandma say she likes your clothes.
i actually disagree! not to bring back a certain children's hospital and say "it's literally color theory" unironically, but... it's literally color theory. both of these color palettes are virtually complimentary and look pretty nice together
youve got reds, greens, and blues:
and purples, blues, yellows, and oranges:
(you'll have to click on the images to see the full thing, i don't want to put them one after the other and make this post even longer than it already is. sorry for the low resolution im doing this on my phone)
of course there's variation in the values and saturation, but imo that's a bit of a given ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
wait actually fuck this post. what the hell is going on between you two
not to re-rail a post that OP himself intentionally derailed but I wanted to try out the palettes. The first one is made with the Girl Colors with no changes made to the values/saturation.
i think its ok.
The second one I tweaked the saturation and values a to my liking. Both are very low effort but as you can see I kinda got into the second one. Anyway I really like orange/purple/yellow as a color scheme so I had fun with this
hey op i hope u dont mind but i made some boys and girls in these colors ^v^
wait omg it would be so cool if there was a different character for each color and they were all in one friend group together, i would LOVE to read a story about that
omg someone should make a Kickstarter for this!!!!!
it's interesting that there are twelve of them! you could like, based them all off of the zodiac. you know, tiger, rat, rabbit, dragon, etc
HUH
This post took so .any left turns we got back on track and turned left again anyways Homestuck on the dash again good morning everybody
Terrible post everyone, hit the showers
There's everything in that post. Colours I can't see because I'm colour-blind. Homestuck jokes. Casual transphobia. A children's hospital. That's history
This post is like trying to do an olympic sprint through a fucking minefield
it's not even a year old yet??
what about not gendering fucking colours
IT'S SATIRE
I'M THE OP

so i spent far too long on this.
for those unaware, the spaghetti wall of letters and numbers is a base64-encoded JPEG image (and not a URL as some guessed). in certain cases when you tried to insert/paste an image into what’s ostensibly a text-only box, this could happen.
the thing that’s bugging me however is that there’s image data there. we have fairly a clear (albeit with JPEG artifacts) screenshot of text that, thanks to how Windows ClearType renders text, each character is identical to each other, that is to say, an uppercase Q will always look more or less pixel-perfect each time, meaning we don’t have to guess what a Q looks like, we simply have to pixel-accurate match it.
as an aside, this is why regular OCR struggles so much with this kind of data retrieval, such as code even when it’s clearer than a physical paper scan. ordinarily, OCR will try to best-guess every single letter because it expects each letter to be slightly different from each other (as would be the unpredictable nature in a scanned document), and on top of that most OCR today will try to autocorrect because it expects the scanned text to contain words in some human written language.
so, all we have to do is make a program to recognize each character and piece back together the whole base64 string, right? well…
first i stitched all 7 images back into a single block of text, observing the consistency of the line spacing. some of the screenshots have little bits of the previous one sticking out of it, which helps with alignment and to make sure they’re in the right order.
after that i had to sample every single letter off this file. this means going around the file and finding one example of each different character we’re trying to identify, saving it as its own separate file so that the program can load them as references to compare against in the full image. for base64, the alphabet consists of a-z, A-Z, 0-9, +, / and =. once i had the initial code in place…
…close! but oh so far. if any one single character in a base64 string is wrong or missing, the resulting decode will be wrong. the issues i was having were mostly with the lowercase r and j because of how the kerning affected the pixels around those letters. i was also getting false matches for r where there should be an m. what followed was grueling hours of tweaking the matching code and my known font set to better fit the original image and get as close as possible to a 100% match. here is the resulting code, maybe it’ll be useful for someone and this won’t have been a complete waste of time.
once i was confident through the verification image that i had all characters recognized, i put it through a base64 to JPEG decoder. i actually did this several times as i improved the recognition and what follows is the best result that came out of it yet. i suspect some of the data might be missing (perhaps a line or block of text got lost in between screenshots), or i have a wrong character somewhere resulting in a wrong value. this is the image extracted from OP’s base64 string:
we can finally know what they meant when they said “me in a relationship” and i can finally go the fuck to sleep.
update: i found that the string that i used to decode the image in the previous reblog actually had one letter wrong.
with this it still doesn’t parse as fully valid base64 in strict mode so i think there’s still another letter in there that’s wrong, but i couldn’t find it. however this gives us a better look:
and this is finally enough to do a reverse image search. i present to you, the HD version of our intrepid massive backpacker:
still have no idea what they mean by “me in a relationship” with that, though.
