You Matter

Until you multiply yourself times the speed of light squared. Then you Energy.

Physics

I will say it. Physics is hard as hell.

There’s all the formula memorization of course but also the perpetual desperate attempts to not only rectify but to derive seemingly made up formulas to problems that do not seem to be feasible for people without calculators in their minds.

It’s forces and vectors and sines and cosines and math above all else. I’ll say it again: it’s hell.

Yet, there is still an elegance to it. An intuitiveness and understanding that is enthralling to individuals predisposed or determined to make sense out of what else is stuff from the back side of a bull.

Unscrambling all the variables and numbers and operations leads to a knowledge of the world that is wholly unobtainable by participating in other disciplines.

Yes, physics is hard as hell, but one can either be reborn from the fire or burned by it.

DO NOT DO THIS.

This makes me so angry.

If you work in a movie theater and you do this I have no respect for you.

My younger brother is Type 1 Diabetic.

When we go to a movie theater, we always get him diet soda. If he were to get regular when we asked for diet, we would not give him the insulin he would need for it. If that happens, his blood sugar level could go so high he could go into a coma, go blind, or even die.

If somebody gave him regular soda instead of diet without telling us, that person could be responsible for a nine-year-old being killed or blinded.

Just thinking about that makes me so angry. I get scared every time we take him to a movie in case the people working there saw this picture and decide to do the same thing.

Please signal boost this so people know.

When he straightened again, there were six Harry Potters gasping and panting in front of him.  Fred and George turned to each other and said together, “Wow- we’re identical!”  “I dunno, though, I think I’m still better-looking,” said Fred, examining his reflection in the kettle.

yknow what’s honestly fucking weird?

my mum is complaining about my or other girls “indecent clothes” claiming “this is not what feminism was about in the 70s”

in turn, in the 70s, when my mum was young, my grandma would complain about her wearing pants and having a wild wavy unstyled mountain of hair

my grandma, in her day, got complaints from older local women about her skirts being too short (aka knee length)

hell, women born in 1880 or earlier would complain about younger women in the 1920s dressing too revealingly

like you’d think we would have learned to break the cycle and stop shaming younger generations of women for their appearance at this point

Why do all of you teenagers whine endlessly about how this personified monster that is Society? You speak as if Society is some animate entity, as if it has any life, any power, any sentience than that which humans give it. Society is not some monster lurking in the shadows, ensnaring and breeding contempt for whatever nonsense mainstream media contorts from truth. If you say that Society is a monster, then you call humanity a monster. There is no difference between this “horribly unfair” entity you like to point your fingers at than there is the person to whom the fingers are attached! They are one and the same! I believe it is said that we are to, ‘Be the change we want to see in the world.’ So do it. Be change. Set a positive example for how the world should work, not as some purported external force makes it. The next time you think of something lurking in the shadows, perhaps you might think of society, or perhaps humanity. Fear not, they are one and the same.

I've never read something half so true.

Life sucks at times. Life is great at times. One can seldom go through one and not the other.

I wish people would hurry up and finish "Blood of Olympus" so I could discuss it with someone

Earlier today I kept seeing so many posts saying that John and Hank were hypocrites because they hadn’t spoken out about Sam Pepper’s video containing blatant sexual harassment. I even saw one person go as far as to say they were appalled that John would allow a video like that to be on youtube....

When someone is crying, of course, the noble thing to do is to comfort them. But if someone is trying to hide their tears, it may also be noble to pretend you do not notice them.
