So I have 2 tickets to the Mike’s Dead concert at MotorCo in Durham on June 4th and unfortunately I’m having surgery on may 31st and will not be able to attend 😭 if you’re interested in buying them I’ll sell them both for $35 (I payed $43.67) to get them off my hands. I have PayPal!
that’s enough emotions for a whole year. ciao
The earlier in the year you reblog this the better it gets
literally the movie in a nutshell 💀💀💀
i think about this a lot
sorry but can you imagine getting owned so hard all your coworkers have to come together and ban the specific insult you got hit with. thats how you know they got you good
maybe the redditors are okay after all
even if amber heard is the “real abuser” and johnny depp is totally innocent or whatever i feel like making funcams or youtube videos titled “amber heard being a lying bitch for 17 minutes” or “johnny depp being a poor little meow meow for 10 minutes” to wii music is still freakish behavior. and maybe we shouldn’t be treating a domestic abuse case like it’s an episode of euphoria?
this feels extremely fucking disturbing. like even if you 100 percent believe amber heard is a liar and abused johnny depp this is REALLY fucking bizarre in way that doesn’t feel great.
like i really want to stress that i don’t know who is in “the right”, i’ve seen so much conflicting information from different sources that i simply don’t have the time to sort through. my point isn’t that these videos are bad because i think amber heard is innocent (because i simply don’t know and it’s not really any of my business) but that this memeifcation of real life domestic disputes are not healthy?
Also *why* are people even recording the case in the first place??
imagine banning woman boobs only to blast every user of your website with non stop ball shaving ads
these tags are so funnyyyy
Math on the ACT
[back to ACT guide masterlist]
What it is: The math section is 60 minutes with 60 questions. It includes elements of algebra I & II, geometry, and trig. Many people think of the math section as having two parts; the first 30 questions are the basic, “fly through” questions, while the last 30 take a bit more time. Most of the questions will involve word problems or diagrams.
Pacing: I know that it’s tempting to get into the mentality of “Well there’s 60 minutes for 60 questions, so I should take 1 minute per question.” Don’t do this. Use the first 30-45 questions, which are the easier questions, as a chance to gain time on the last 15-30 questions. If you’re on question 20 and you have 40 minutes left, pick up the pace. The questions at the end will definitely consume more of your time than the beginning questions. My suggestion would be to have 40 minutes left once you get to 30-35 questions. However, every person works differently, so if you’re not sure how you’d do on pacing with this time frame, it’s best to take a practice test and see how your own personal pacing works.
General tips:
If you’re not past algebra II/trig and you’re still performing poorly on the math section, don’t sweat it. It’s possible that you haven’t learned everything in it yet.
Think smarter, not harder. You were given a calculator, so use it.
If you have the time and you’re not sure how to solve a problem, look at the answers and plug them into whatever you were given from the question.
Concepts you may need to review:
Triangle rules (SOHCAHTOA, 45/45/90, 30/60/90, pythagorean theorem)
Parallel lines
Number of diagonals formula
Distributive property or FOIL’ing as it’s most commonly called
The sum of all the angles of a triangle = 180°
Probability. Most probability questions will be simple like “Sally can choose from 3 drinks, 4 appetizers, and 2 main courses. How many different lunches are possible?” in which case you’d just multiply 3, 4, and 2 together.
Basic solving by substitution
Point-slope form and slope-intercept form
Multiplying exponents with the same base vs exponents with exponents
Ratios of similar shapes
Basic inequalities
Equation of a circle and ellipse
Circumference and area of a circle
Midpoint formula
Distance formula
Volume and surface areas
Factoring a quadratic in order to solve for x
Log to exponents

Hate when people post about how bad they are at driving like it’s a quirky personality trait. “Not me never using my turn signal! 😜 I’m so gay” actually you are a menace to society
I am a firm believer that jj stands for Jesse John and he goes by jj because “Jesse is too feminine” and “John is already taken”

I’M ON TUMBLR. WE’RE ALL ON TUMBLR.
Tumblr so broke they squatting in they own house
angels, deciding what shape to take when interacting with The Humans: well….eye contact is important to humans, right? they find it reassuring when they can see the eyes of the person they’re talking to. so if we have LOTS of eyes, in very visible places, that’ll be even MORE reassuring
can’t stop thinking how much sense it would make if every design choice angels made was just a misguided attempt to Relate To The Humans. imagine how those conversations went
wings: “humans don’t like things they can’t understand, so if we’re going to levitate we should have wings. in fact we should probably have lots of wings, since we’re so big and impressive. humans like wings”
loud, booming voices: “fuck off Azrael the humans needs to be able to hear us.”
glowing: “no no no, it’s about visibility, right? the main human sensory organ works by detecting light, so if we emit light…”
wheels: “why the hell are you shaped like that?” “piss off, the humans are really proud of this invention”
multiple faces/eyes: “it makes me relatable” “i swear to God it doesn’t–” “i need to see in every direction” “ Azrael you are a supernatural messenger of god you do not need–” “THE HUMANS NEED TO KNOW I’M WATCHING”
multiple limbs: “humans have lots of limbs! they like limbs” “look i let you keep the wings but–” “how do you expect me to walk?” “70,000 feet is not a reasonable number of feet, Azrael!” “fuck off i’m ENORMOUS”
general gross misapprehensions of biology: “holy shit are your wings made out of eyes?” “look before you say anything i’m like 100% sure i’ve seen animals who have both wings and eyes. and you can fit so many more in this way!” “….you godforsaken googly-eyed genius”
#and this is why angels got so boring in the new testament after the Updated Guidelines were rolled out. “Four limbs???? i’m only allowed a maximum of FOUR LIMBS????? this is BULLSHIT”
#alternatively all the reported sightings of creepy ass angels was literally just the SAME angel #just the same freak who kept changing its meatsuit for funsies before god caught on
ok i have REFINED my theory!
Old Testament Angels look like that because life in the ocean outnumbered life on land, so naturally when they visited earth they modeled their appearance on the most common lifeforms. Hench you get things like
radial symmetry (i.e. angels shaped like spheres) which is objectively cooler than bilateral symmetry (starfish understand this)
Very Numerous Limbs (2 is not the average number of arms in the ocean)
random glowing (bioluminescence)
just generally being objects of Absolute Terror to land dwellers
a thousand eyeballs being the Norm (have you seen scallops)
in the majority of inhabited Earth areas (i.e. anything deeper than the continental shelf) old school angels would actually pass as Normal And Relatably-Shaped Lifeforms
this checks out
I think you all need to know the actual reason that seraphim have six wings–with two they covered their faces and with two they covered their feet and with two they flew–because it’s awesome.
So, first thing, in most of the Hebrew Bible nobody can look directly at God’s face and live. God is simply too amazing/great/alien. You see God’s face, you die, not because God wants to kill you (God doesn’t!) but just … because it’s the inevitable result of contact with God’s holiness. (This is responsible for such incidents as the time God mooned Moses. Moses wanted reassurance, and asked to see God. God said, “well, you can’t see my face, but how about this. You hide in that crevice in the rock over there, and I’ll cover you up so you’re safe, and then I’ll pass by, and when I’m safely past you can look at my back, k?” And that’s how it happened.)
Anyway, even angels can’t bear to look at God, which is why the seraphim cover their faces in God’s presence. All the weird stuff you all have just been attributing to angels? Can be applied to God with at least as much plausibility.
And then we come to the seraphim covering their feet. Or, perhaps I should say “feet.” Because the Hebrew language, like many languages, has some euphemisms for genitalia. One of them is to call them “feet” or “hands.” This is how, for example, Ruth gets Boaz to marry her. She goes in and lays down at his “feet.” Wink wink, nudge nudge.
So when Isaiah tells us the seraphim are flying around covering their “feet” with a pair of wings, what they’re actually doing is this:
Gaud: makes a weird theory
The Bible: is somehow even weirder
this got tagged as “#the best non-robotfucker post on this website” and I’m super proud of that actually
Wait, it gets weirder. In hebrew the name seraphim literally translates to “the burning ones”, and they lived up to their name, burning so intensely at all times that lesser angels are seared from existence in their presence. Do you understand why the seraphim are burning gaud? Do you know what happened when god bared his face to a mountain? They don’t cover their eyes to keep them from seeing god, they cover their eyes to keep from seeing him AGAIN!
