I'm sure 99% don't? Unless your abuser is a CS major

Have fun exploring the list of things we've caught abusers actually using. [0] Or don't. Reading and keeping your soul intact aren't compatible.

I am 100% sure that some do, thanks to firsthand life. And any doing it, is enough to get people dead, even if 99% don't. And yes, CS majors can be abusers, too.

It’s so prevalent it even has a name.

Don’t underestimate an abuser’s ability to find a way.

There are tools which exist to make things such as this accessible to non-CS major perpetrators.
I wonder if Hans Reiser would have checked...
