That said, I did derive my own fractal equations for a program called Iterations a number of years ago. You can still look at galleries IV and V here:

I add transformations one at a time, change the parameters until I get a glimmer of something that seems interesting. Then, I add transformations until it feels complete. Again, changing the parameters of each. I also play with the triangle controls of each transformation; turning and moving them.
I'm rather disappointed. We could have had such cool things. *sigh*
Thanks. They were made completely from scratch; not randomly generated.
Now, the really scary thing is when thousands of people start hearing beaks knocking against metal and "doot doot" in the middle of night. No, they don't have birds and their phones, tablets, and laptops are in standby mode. They flick the nearest switch but the electricity is inexplicably out.
Was it mere coincidence that 6 to 8 of the wealthiest people in the US were at Trump's second inauguration? No. They are the ones who installed him. They are the ones calling many of the shots. Did 7 million people rally for nothing? When are we going to take real, meaningful action? 2/2
When are we all going to admit that the election was rigged?

Sure, Trump and his MAGAts denied the 2020 election based on lies, but we can deny the 2024 election based on facts! Several organizations have found huge abnormalities in PA and NC. I think this alone warrants a full forensic audit. 1/2
I remember when Kamala Harris had a plan on how to help people buy their first home. But certain people rejected the plan by voting for a man who wants to steal their retirement savings.
I wish she would tour with Steve in the US. Love her vocals.
We brought a huge chunk of the Nazi scientists right here to the US!
Over many years, I began striving to make fractals that looked less fractal. Though I have taken a hiatus, I've been working with fractals since the late 80s. All of the examples below were made using JWildfire.
TL;DR after about the sixth post in the thread. Nevertheless, I mostly agree with your conclusion. Yet, never felt shame for the reasons you described because I know the only person who you can truly compare yourself with is you. Everyone is different; neurodivergent or not.
Agreed - Education, even "higher education" is a right; not a privilege.
I grew up in a version of Britain where you could go and study whatever you wanted at any age, because my country valued having an educated population, & universities were properly funded to enable that.

It would be absolutely brilliant to live in that country once again. 💚

🤯 The government have announced that university tuition fees in England will increase every year in line with inflation from 2026.

🧑🎓 Education should be a right, not a privilege.

💚 That's why the Green Party would scrap tuition fees altogether.
I despise James Cameron! The entire time I was watching Avatar on a theater screen, I thought, "This is Roger Dean's magnum opus!" only to find out he wasn't even credited as an inspiration! Dean later sued and lost because his pockets weren't as deep as Cameron's.

As someone who ultimately voted for Obama in 2008, I have a couple of things to criticize him over...

1) His continuation of Bush Jr's foreign policy.

2) His rushing through a half baked healthcare bill that, despite doing some good, had many Americans paying higher premiums and co-pays.
Obama is Black, and Republicans consider him beneath them, so they're always looking for something to criticize him about. It's called #racism.
But the US is the self-proclaimed "world police". 🙄
While I don't care for Biden's lack of action on numerous things, I don't wish him any ill. Nevertheless, I do not put him or any other politician on a pedestal either. 2/2
Yeah, Biden is so amazing that he didn't replenish funds for the Bridge Access Program, didn't criticize Garland for dragging his feet on investigating Trump, didn't call out Netanyahu for his genocide in Gaza, and didn't, with the help of Congress, prevent a second Trump term. 1/2
This is ludicrous, but, sadly, there are far more important things to be upset about.
Before reading about it, I thought for sure that the mafia had a hand in the construction of Route 66. I still don't understand why they didn't extend it east to Philly and/or NYC.
