Absolutely not, see the JPG artefacting? She downloaded it from somewhere else, and a quick google search shows it on "A Beautiful Resistance," the blog of a pagan book publisher, above an article talking about left-wing multicultural norse paganism.

She didn't make the triforce (idk what the triangles are called) rainbow logo, she didn't make the fist tree, she can't even use a background that isn't that ugly picture of stonehenge with text you can't read over it. She's so trans-boomer.

Stephanie: uses Carrd, a website specifically made to make webpages, has all the time in the world, and still fucks it up
Me: uses Photoshop, makes something presentable in 45 minutes

Stephanie hire me to fix your shitass website

Lol, no comprendo. [I am unskilled in these things/don't think to look for them.] So thank you! Guess that explains that.

Artefacts are those squiggly things in low-quality images. There are two types of files; lossy and lossless. Lossy files, when you save them, discard bits of "unimportant" information to save on file size, while lossless ones don't. When they discard that data, they have to fill in something to show the whole file, and that's where you get compression artefacts. If you've ever seen a pic or heard audio that sounds low quality, it's because you're noticing the compression.

JPGs are one of the most common filetypes because they're small files and basically any device/program can interact with them. They're also lossy, so the more people save and reupload JPGs, the more artefacts they get. Deep fried images are the result of doing that over and over to exaggerate the artefacts. Typically they're harder to spot in complex images like photos, but in simple graphics like that tree they're pretty obvious. I zoomed in on part of it, you can see the artefacts really easily:

If that tree had been a PNG, which is a lossless file type, it wouldn't have those squiggles and blurriness. You'd be able to save and post it over and over and it'd look the same. There are more differences between JPG and PNG, and files even better for quality than PNG, but that's a pretty simple explanation of compresion.

So yeah, if someone shows you a super low res image and is like "this is mine and I made it," and you see the artefacts, you can assume they stole it off of Google images lol

Thank you! That makes sense, and that is certainly something I've observed. But I did not know the "artefact" term (helpful! TY) or that using a jpg/seeing the loss would suggest that the person didn't create it. I'm not ackshually a boomer, but choosing file type for a SM post is not something I know like my abcs (and I, personally, do better understanding the why for it to burrow into my brain so again ty). Put another way, if I actually had created an image, not sure I'd know which format to upload to my theoretical site, beyond what format looks best.

So again, TY for the education!

Of course! It's so easy to take computer knowledge for granted, I'm just glad I actually know something well enough to pass on the info!

if I actually had created an image, not sure I'd know which format to upload to my theoretical site, beyond what format looks best.

• JPGs have small file sizes (fast loading!) but lose quality easily
• PNGs are bigger (slow loading) but always stay the same quality. They also support transparency!
• SVGs are lossless AND they're vector, which means instead of pixels the image is made of filled curves. They're huge files, but they're infinitely scalable (you can make them any size and not lose quality!) Plus they support transparency too.
• GIFs can be static (still) or animated, and support transparency, but they're limited to 256 colors. They're better for small animated images, like gliter gifs and emojis.
• WEBP is some new bullshit Google made that nobody likes. They technically combine the best of JPGs and PNGs, but most programs can't do anything with them so it's a pain in the ass to use a Webp for anything.

Most people just use JPG for everything and it suits them fine. If the extent of web stuff you do is posting vacation pics on facebook or whatever, then you don't really need to futz with it. If you start doing graphic design, then you might wanna do more research into PNGs and SVGs lol.

She never bothers to research anything either, hence the nazi bread holiday celebrations.

It pisses me off because Lughnasadh (or whatever dumb i'm-only-autistic-for-vikings name she was calling it) would have been a very easy, appropriate, dare I say fun one for her to celebrate. Go get some seasonally appropriate veggies from the supermarket or, better yet since it would be local, a farmer's market. Go climb that hill nearby that she likes to talk so much about. Have a nice little symbolic offering ceremony, give some thanks for the land and its gifts and bounty, very woo, very druid-y, would have even made a nice one for her to make a little video for her social media or something.

She made three damn pies for her own fat ass that week, did she bring enough to share with the class gods??

Perhaps it's loads of books about Dahmer, as she's stated that she keeps that secret from the fam.

See, she says that, but then she also says she has a big framed print of her friend Necroartsy's AI Dahmer cheesecake on her wall. What is the truth?

The apartments' maintenance man knocks on the door to check out her sink, and Stephanie waddles across the room to flip the Jeffrey Dahmer picture around to face the wall, leaving a small trail of urine as she goes.

 

[redbarchetta]

Steph knows no shame, I am not under the impression she would hide her Dahmer pictures from anyone, or censor any weird book titles she owns. She'd want us to know.

Staph has gone ahead and set up her own pagan leftist group.

Here we go again... an "organisation" that will probably consist only of Staph and doesn't address any actual problems, only the ones she makes up in her head. Anyone more familiar with the region she lives in can correct me if I'm wrong, but I find it hard to believe there's a big population of ultra homophobic Christians in her area since just over half of the people living in the county voted Biden, she's probably just seething because someone saw her pride pins, asked about them and when she tried to give a convoluted explanation of her gender + sexuality labels they replied "that makes no sense". Even more doubtful there's a local group of white supremacist pagans there, but again, I could be mistaken.

Five out of eight grandparents were Swedish, one was Norwegian, and one was English. The last one has COLONIST ANCESTORS, and even worse, they appear to be from VIRGINIA, A SLAVE STATE. FOR SHAME.

Speaking of ancestry I wonder if anyone's been able to find Staph's bio mother on Ancestry and can figure out just how Irish and Welsh Staph really is, since she claims Celtic on her mother's side and Scandinavian on her dad's IIRC (her grandpa had Swedish parents, though Google says her grandma on that side wasn't Scandinavian at all but had family from Austria/Hungary and Czechoslovakia, it's odd that she hasn't discovered Slavic paganism yet). Haven't got an account there and a simple Google search didn't turn up anything for the blood relatives listed on the obituary, so who knows.

(Lolcow ancestry is just a fascinating topic to me especially when they make fantastical claims about their heritage, but it turns out their ancestors had cow-ish tendencies too. As they say, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree...)

I know I've been trying to set Stephanie up with Lou Gagliardi for a true marriage of equals, but maybe all along she's been the female version of the Rev. Dr. Robert McKim, owner-operator of the Beacon Light and SOUL Clinic, the CAER Security Radio Patrol, and the Weather Awareness Network.

Bob's more of a Facebook/YouTube guy while she's got Twitter-clones and Tumblr, and sad to say his doctorate is from the Universal Life Church. However, Bob's ahead of Stephanie in the tooth-loss race.


And they both use the same selfie angle!

Yes it's been done before, but let's post again because I am a genealogy sperg!

Her father was half Swedish, half Slav (as in her paternal grandmother was literally born in Croatia).


The only maternal ancestor she has who was born in Ireland is her 3x great-grandmother, Mary Ann. All of the other maternal ancestors resided in New York for a very long time (am currently too busy/lazy to research them, but it goes without saying: LOL COLONIST).

The farms probably knows more about Steph's ancestry than she actually does.

I've been looking into druidry and norse religion a bit, just out of curiousity, since they're the two things Steph wants to mash together into a belief system, and besides both being considered as Pagan and doing sacrifices, they're not at all alike. They didn't even exist at the same time. By the time the Vikings went a-pillaging, the Roman Empire had pretty much wiped out the original druids.
Modern druidry in itself has very little to do with ancient celtic druidry, so it's hilarious that she spent so long claiming to be celtic for her druidry to seem real. Celtic revival druidry is a whole other bag of fish, since it was basically invented in the late 1800s and early 1900s by people who had no idea what the real druids were like and made it up as they were going along. It also, as I've been learning, had little to nothing to do with the Irish Celts, and was mostly practiced in England and Wales, and the actual celtic revival was more focused on Irish literature and poetry.

I also encountered her stupid Utiseta while I was doing some research. Did you know the burial mounds that seers sat out on weren't just a grave for a single person? They were full of weapons too. And sacrifices, like horses and dogs. And other humans, as those with status would have their slaves sacrificed with them so they'd have servants in the afterlife.
Imagine believing in an afterlife of any sorts and dooming another human being to spend all eternity as a slave. That's pretty fucked up.

She's far from the first person to call herself an "eclectic pagan", I used to know another woman online who claimed similar beliefs - a mix of Celtic, Hindu and Egyptian gods (this was shortly before the rise of social justice Tumblr and the cultural appropriation police) and figures from Arthurian legend IIRC, though mostly Celtic (because she was also into the "ancestral beliefs" and fixated on her Irish/Scottish ancestry despite being American as apple pie), and had gotten so into the LARP she'd changed her name from something common like "Jennifer Susan Smith" to "Fionnuala Morgaine Smith" (not the exact names but you get the gist) and her kids' names followed the same theme. She'd gotten her husband on board too and they all did "magick" and rituals as a family, she was into the woo homebirth/homeschooling too.

That personal cow of mine was my introduction to that whole subculture and the online community around it, and probably the reason Staph is such a fascinating cow for me - the similarities are definitely there and it makes me think that in an alternate timeline where her parents had given her more instruction on how not to be a total weirdo, she hadn't gone all in on the genderspecial shit and serial killer obsession she may have had a shot at finding a man who isn't too fussed about looks and doesn't mind all her little eccentricities to start a weird, alternative lifestyle family with. She looked normal, happy and generally pleasant to be around in her pre-Tumblr pics, so she could've found someone.

The man who's considered the "godfather" of modern druidry as a religion changed his name from Edward Williams to Iolo Morganwg, it's a tale as old as time.

It's also funny that the entire thing is based on a bunch of forgeries of manuscripts that have been absolutely bastardised since his death. He also claimed to be against slavery but had big ties to slaves when it earned him money.
Funny guy. Kinda reminds me of Steph, the way she's totally against abuse and rape and what not but props up literal rapists because she thinks they're hot. I guess being a grandstanding moral faggot with no actual morals is also part of neo-druidism.

 

[glass_houses]

it makes me think that in an alternate timeline where her parents had given her more instruction on how not to be a total weirdo,

Her parents absolutely tried, without a doubt. She's complained about her parents telling her what to do at pretty much every stage of her life. They even sent her off for a master's degree, set her up on campus with a room mate and everything, and she repaid them by grooming a bunch of minors into a cult. It's gone from Papa making her shave her legs to her abusing testosterone to the point that a yowie would find her way too hairy.

I've no doubt that there are many things Mama and Papa Frigly could have done better, but Staph's mentally ill bio mother effectively doomed her before she was born by dousing her in alcohol and heroin. She was fucked up before she even left the birth canal.

 

[Quack_Quack]

She has said she is attracted to weaponry, especially knives, as well as the larp weapons she owns.

Does she fuck her staff? O.O

I like to think Siggy (and Pete, from kitty heaven) are silently judging Staph for not only overfeeding and neglecting them, but also being a useless stinky hooman who makes up too many dumb words to call herself and spends all her time arguing with people on the computer rather than giving them the attention they deserve.

Siggy's gonna shit on her pillow, mark my words.

Tfw instead of transforming into a cool badass Egyptian pharoah you are apparently just possessed by the spirit of a potato instead

Potatoes are useful and nutritious. Staph has a fanny full of cobwebs

 

[Snack Cracker]

This has unlocked a memory of one of the funniest moments on the Staph thread for me, when she posted a preview of a striptease video she made. I remember that I read the comments before I watched it, which were hilarious on their own, but were spot on and made it hysterical when I finally got round to watching the video.

That video lives rent free in a locked down part of my mind, I know she picked the Devil’s Violin or whatever to be edgy but good God.

It could be film major short project, but not in the way she’d want.

Either way Holocaust porn is better than pride flags up the ass porn.

This thread is absolutely unholy for all those words being relevant.

Reading these is piquing my curiosity. I usually take a self preservatory approach to watching these kind of things. But this... Well, the fact it's not going to be just her grunting in sielcbe, makes it feel like an object du art I should at least culture myself with exposure to.

Edit-Lmfao
The stagger. The violin. The expression of a woman trying to not puke as she tumbles off a bus to vomit on the motorway side in the first 2 hours of a low rent coach trip holiday to Skegness. Someone's sister in law.

I was put off by the notion that I was gonna see flags get shoved up an arse, but amazingly, apparently her efforts at lolporn exceeded one video. Misguidedly.
