#shapefile

Today I learned of this website.

They list reasons why the shapefile needs to be phased out, and propose some replacements and their pros and cons.

Number of shapes does not match number of table records. เป็นข้อผิดพลาดที่เกิดขึ้นได้ บล็อกนี้จะเขียนว่าเกิดจากอะไร และจัดการแก้ปัญหานี้ได้ Continue reading Number of shapes does not match number of table records

I LOVE U i knew youd give me the good good

alone: How does your OC deal with loneliness? Have they ever been completely alone before? How do they act when there's no one around to see them?

oooh this is a good one.... SHAPEFILE grew up in a lab surrounded by scientists constantly observing him, and although he doesnt remember much about it, he definitely has an ingrained sense of feeling weird on his own. i think he probably finds being alone and undistracted very perturbing. if hes alone, hes probably doing GIS stuff and/or homework.

otherwise i feel like they fill their life with various odd characters to amuse them and keep them from feeling lonely. not that they'd admit that, and not that it would show based on how they treat people

really, when FILEs alone i feel like FILE just goes full autism mode. stim city. maybe those untapped traumas memories from FILEs childhood start to seep in... who knows

bound: Has your OC ever been imprisoned or captured? What happened? How did they get out? Did the experience leave any scars?

FILE was pretty much kept imprisoned for the first 13 years of his life, which, again, he does not remember but still has lingering emotional scars from. as for what happened, he has no way of knowing, but hes fairly certain it was bad. part of why he doesn't think too deeply about his issues and hates being alone with his thoughts is because of the weird triggers and fetishes he has that he can't place the origin of. its just NULL data. he does have scars, all over his body, but he was told they were all part of the process of creating him. frankenstein lookin ass.

they only got out by waking up age 13 (so they're told) with no memories, being told who they were (supposed to be?) and being assigned an adoptive family.

hate: What does your OC hate? Why? How do they act towards the object of their hatred?

the funnier and less twisted answer to this question is open source software. they fight constantly with Quin, the local naturalist dyke, who insists that Esri software (again, FILE believes they were literally created to shill this stuff) sucks and that proprietary software shouldnt exist. also, they hatefuck

as for the real answer, it's FILEs second thesis advisor (dont worry about what happened to the first one) Dr. Tan, who has taken an unfortunate liking to FILE, with whom FILE has a deeply questionable relationship FILE has very weird feelings about. FILE knows their dynamic is abusive but FILE feels like FILE brings it upon FILEself by being, on some level, into it.

when Tan's around in public, FILE gets very closed off and defensive, trying to put distance between them. in private, the facade fades quickly and FILE finds themself feeling painfully reliant on the affection and affirmation from the person they hate the most

skin: How comfortable is your OC in their skin? Do they grapple with anything that lives inside them—a beast, a curse, a failure, a monster? How do they face the smallest, weakest, most horrible version of themself? Are they able to acknowledge it at all?

ahhhh yes, the kicker to everything above. SHAPEFILE is so uncomfortable in their own skin it hurts. as has been the theme of these answers, they are in no way prepared to face the reality inside themself. what might that reality be? i think FILE's nightmare scenario would be to find out there was another path for him all along. that he doesnt need to be a machine to be a man, that he doesnt need to be a man to be a machine

thats part of why FILE hates Tan so much. tan acknowledges this potential, but also takes advantage of it. this all contributes to FILEs weird feelings about the already weird situation

accepting that they can be someone other than the person [ERROR: Data type 'person' not specified] ??? they were prescribed to be is the one thing they need the most to self-actualize, but SHAPEFILE is so far removed from the self. SHAPEFILE is just points, lines, and polygons. SHAPEFILE is just space.

but if he acknowledges it, he acknowledges that there's nothing special about him.

waahh thank you for answering even though no one knows about my son

this is SHAPEFILE hes (sort of?) a TMA fan character. he serves the web and to a lesser extent the vast and was made in a lab to do GIS (geospatial data science) but perhaps theres more to life than that who knows he hasnt figured it out yet

betrayal: Has your OC ever been betrayed by someone they thought they could trust? Has your OC ever betrayed someone who trusted them?

hes been betrayed in the sense that he slowly realizes that everything he was raised to believe (see: that he was created to be a corporate shill for proprietary GIS software) was not necessarily a concrete fact, which starts to break down the intricate web (TMA web literally) of the world he operates on.

as for betraying others, oh yeah, he does it all the time. doesn't even flinch. lying and selling come easily to him, and so does killing, so long as its not him that gets his hands dirty. his gods listen, and they are not benign

break: What would cause your OC to break down completely? What do they look like when that happens? Has anyone ever seen them at their lowest?

it would probably take a true shattering of his identity as a product. the moment he GENUINELY realizes that hes actually just a person who was groomed and not a product designed to serve a purpose, he'll lose his mind.

so, he doesn't realize it.

he's got schoolwork to do.

(definitely dont read anything about my own gender struggles into this lol)

desire: What's one thing your OC wants more than anything in the world? Are they open with that desire? Why or why not? What would they do to fulfill it?

he'll tell you that he wants to work for Esri and shill ArcGIS like he wa designed to. he doesn't want to be a failed prototype, like the ones who came before him. he wants to fulfill his destiny.

but, still, that's not what he really wants. he hasn't even unlocked that yet. he's not even real enough, by his own standards, to have deep-seated desires of his own.

however, that's not to say he still doesn't give into smaller desires. hes a bit of a sex addict. in fact, his creators never told him he was transgender (see: men get farther ahead in the workplace!!) until he first had sex and someone pointed out that most dudes didnt have a cunt. he was like. oh.

(arguably this is a form of betrayal too, waking up mind-wiped with a sex change you didnt exactly ask for but weren't even aware of. but hes not exactly complaining either, just confused)

fear: What is your OC's greatest fear? What do they do when confronted with it? Are they open with their fear, or do they hide it away?

probably that he'll never get that corporate job he was made for. like i said above, it would shatter him. he definitely isnt open about it. hes convinced if he works hard enough he can make it to the top

whos gonna tell him?

secret: What's one secret your OC never wants anyone to know about them?
