Date: 2026-01-24 06:07 pm (UTC)I noticed that the "toxic" styles are all nice healthy unbroken lines, and the "healthy" groups all have broken lines, which... I mean... Can we at least put a little subconscious nod in our graphs that the toxic thing is the broken line and healthy stuff is the full line? I imagine there's probably just defaults that pop up and they place them in the chart or maybe charts have this "top most = solid" and less.
Anyways. I know very well at least one of the 3% in my class. By know well of course I mean he was my bully who I resent to this day and still have violent revenge fantasies about (thank god I'm not toxic enough to act on that... I was able to only eat a little lead as a child not enough to disinhibit that part of my brain LOL - and I just realize that could be seen as a pun lead/toxic lol)
