Lmfao nooo

Im gonna take a 3 hr nap and then taking another Adderall and chugging 250 mg of caffeine and then Ill do the thing its fine

Yeah its really just across the board.

People cannot connect dots.

Innumeracy doesn't get enough attention. Similarly a complete failure to grasp basic deductive logic is just largely ignored

they go hand in hand. the underlying deficit is an inability to parse meaning — and with it, authorial intent, intended audience, etc. literacy is kind of one thing, really; so-called media literacy is just a specific aspect of it

Good people, here's my semi regular reminder that with everything that is ailing us right now, it's vital that most AFAB folks take supplementary estrogen in our 40s and/or at the first sign of perimenopause. That brain fog we experience isn't just a symptom.

The use of AFAB in posts like this is so frustrating.

Like let's break down the groups:
Cis men: No
Trans men: No
Cis women Yes
Trans women Yes
Non-binary: maybe and what to do isn't based on AGAB

The action is more aligned to woman than to AFAB.
But people say AFAB because they are cissexist

Like ofc you can take different perspectives from well made art but it kind of seems most people are not taking an actual perspective at all lmfao.

Just complete face value analysis of everything that crosses their eyes.

Second hot take: we talk a lot (maybe not enough) about reading literacy but we should talk about every other kind of literacy.

Like media literacy. Because there is a crisis there too.

Hot take: if the standard for good art or media is "will conservatives not misunderstand it?" Then there is no good art or media.

Breaking bad era TV is literally deemed the golden age of TV calling it "a failure" because conservatives who dont get things that are straight up spelled out for them didnt get it is WILD work.

Under that standard nothing will ever be fucking good.

How fucked up that first part, but there is no denying walt continues to choose being a monster and doing evil things.

We are given a backstory for why hes a monster and asked to make sense of the fact that both things can be true?

Like breaking bad still carries to this day.

It is kind of a masterpiece tbh because of how it fleshes out its villain. A teacher w cancer selling meth? You cant help but sympathize.

But then they make you come face to face with the fact that nothing that happens in the latter part negates

That whole thread is just claiming media must be bad because conservatives have 0 media literacy

@tyranny.sparklenoise.com this is how bottan replies when Im being positive lmfaoooo

After hours and me just hating the world we stopped at a gas station and I got out to stretch.

A random 3-4 yo (?) girl came up to me and gave me a flower and said I was pretty.

It fixed absolutely nothing and completely restored my faith in life.

Annoying story I will never stop telling:

When I was 15, I was supposed to go to my friends graduation. Roy flipped his shit and started threatening x y z so we up and drove away to hide. We drove for hours and hours. I was so angry and sad and I just wanted to give up (putting mildly)

Idk those small helpful things really do make a difference like having anyone help you in anyway at all when you feel like youre drowning is v impactful.

Cant be negative about everything so

Like

I am extremely grateful for my little family.

My husband is sick (sinus infection. We tested for everything else). So my mother is taking my child to ballet in the am so I can take this exam in absolute quiet.

This is also how they get you.

Like "no no it cannot be that simple" and then you lose half your time overcomplicating something that was in fact that simple.

Brother if I spent 3 hours practicing finding the MLE of g(obscure symbol) where obscure symbol is a function of theta and the exam is like 50% confidence intervals

I'll be relieved but also very mad lmfao

"better to give you too hard for practice then too easy" which like idk if thats reassuring or not.

The practice problems are ...

Mind numbing and Im not the only one. Like I can follow most of them but some im just like "where did this come from" and Im not the only one.

Someone even asked lmao "hey why are the practice problems so much harder than every hw?"

And he said:

As long as I start the exam by like noon tomorrow its fine

(this is a joke for gods sake please

Please noone misread this jfc)

Yeah my mom took too much tylenol lets move past that ok

Fun fact.

As a wee girl I kept a deck of cards (any kind of cards with some sort of ordering system) under my pillow and when I couldnt sleep I would shuffle them and see how fast I could get them back in order.

Im reading the wikipedia and fucking Poisson mentioned???

Oh I think I definitely mixed him up-

This is what makes a good text book!!!!

https://www.achrafkassioui.com/library/David%20Goodstein%20-%20States%20of%20Matter.pdf The opening paragraph to Goodstein's textbook, "States of Matter" "Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Paul Ehrenfest, carrying on his work, died similarly in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics. Perhaps it will be wise to approach the subject cautiously."

Ah, the classics.
