I haven't seen this circulating here on Tumblr, so I decided to make my own post.

last saturday, in Porto, there was a pride parade going down the street and this old man was standing there, by his front door, waving the portuguese flag. most people on the parade probably thought the same: old person waving the national flag? he's probably protesting against the parade, he's a nationalist of some sort.

then the old man called for that person to come near him. the whole parade stopped. everyone just.. stopped moving. they didn't know what to expect, and most expected the worst. and that person decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and approached the old man. and then... they traded flags, he hugged the person and then he waved the pride flag happily. everyone cheered him.

such a wholesome moment. 🥹❤️🌈

Compares this to some discourse about a position so absurd you have never even considered it possible. The feelings of either rage at it's existence or relieve that you have not encountered it are so great, you completely forget what the rest of this post was about.

okay so the New Math was a total failure for obvious reasons, you can't teach kids that 3+5=5+3 "because addition is commutative", that's completely the wrong way around - addition is commutative because a+b=b+a for all a, b. it's a property you have to define and prove true of the particular relation, you can't just tell kids it's true without getting them to understand why it's true.

these days, otoh, we've made further advances in mathematics and we're setting it on better foundations. it's time to reconfigure elementary mathematical education around the forms of mathematics that underlie real modern mathematical practice and meet the demands of today's workforce: dependent type theory*.

it's quite easy to learn: 3 + 5 = 5 + 3 because we can compute plus(S(S(S(0))), S(S(S(S(S(0)))))) to be S(S(S(S(S(S(S(S(0)))))))) and likewise the other way around. unlike the New Math, kids can do this, since it's basically just counting; you can even do it with physical objects by sliding them between groups or w/e. and it reaches kids to think computationally which prepares them for life in today's computational world. and to teach kids to draw a general principle from these specific examples, we can explain that addition is commutative because

add_comm (m n : MyNat) : add m n = add n m := by induction' n with n ih · rw [zero_add] rfl rw [add, succ_add, ih]

*category theory can wait until they hit middle school, by which time they'll be familiar with more of the concrete things that categories abstract

the funniest part of the jason x sex scene post is actually watching jason x and finding out that the sex scene was plot relevant because jason revives at the very same time they were having sex in the room next door and it's implied that jason could sense them having sex while he was cryogenically frozen and it pissed him so much (because he hates sex) that it revived him. if you removed it you would make the movie less funny.

[utopians]

"sex scenes have no narrative purpose" is such a funny take on so many levels. people will really believe that the whole human experience is valuable to portray artistically except sex, which of course has never held emotional weight or significance for anybody

[utopians]

"what's the purpose of sex scenes in media??" well you see sometimes people have sex. sometimes it can be important even

[robogirldick]

yeah ok but i dont wanna watch straight sex scene number 1231234837582 in the middle of some movie thats clearly not fucking high art or anything, like please, tell me how the sex scene made jason X a deeper movie ill wait

[utopians]

you genuinely think that "the sex scene in Jason X, the movie about jason from Friday the 13th killing people in space, is bad" is a rebuttal to this point? like genuinely? genuinely? like you think that's the kind of sex scene I was talking about in the original post? you think when I'm talking about the artistic merit of sex scenes in movies you think I'm talking about the bit with the dominatrix in Jason X (2001) dir. James Isaac, the movie where Jason from Friday the 13th gets put in cryosleep and wakes up in the future on a spaceship where he starts killing people in outer space? you genuinely think this is the kind of movie and scene I'm referring to when I'm arguing for the potential artistic value of a type of scene? Jason X? Jason X? the one with Jason on a spaceship? you think that "well Jason X, the movie about Jason on a spaceship killing people in space, is bad" is a rebuttal to my point? Jason X? Jason X?

Something really violent about eating a burrito. Biting a hole in that thing. A sandwich or a taco is different, it's already open, but a well-wrapped burrito is like a complete living thing in your hand, the taut skin protecting a complex network if internal organs. And you put a hole in it, maul it for sustenance, like a wolf on the open plain tearing the throat from a living gazelle. Or perhaps like a guy living in an infested apartment catching a white rat in his hands and just biting into it.

I think those fancomics where Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes is transgender are cute and fun but I also think it's a deep misunderstanding of Calvin's character to think he would transition into a heterosexual normie who goes to her high school reunion. That girl would have neopronouns and fang implants

[butch-king-frankenstein]

Adult Calvin is a tattoo artist named Panthera who is the bassist in a terrible metal band called Captain Napalm and Hobbes helps do faer E injections
