I live a very balanced life of noticing things nobody else does and not noticing the things that literally everybody notices

“my father is a boy and my mother is a girl so i’m mixed” is the funniest possible response to someone asking your gender and it came from 6’5 Viking footballer and notable weird little guy Erling Haaland on a Snapchat

comedians can only dream of writing something this funny

god im reading a text about romance fiction (especially targeted at young adults) for class and one sentence in it literally made my brain explode because ive been thinking about this kind of stuff too, how “Many people wouldn’t fall in love if they’ve never heard about it before.” and like…imagine there was no ideal/overaccentuated image of love and romance painted in postmodern mass media….how would we love? would it be purer? more authentic? what would we do differently? would we fall in love at all if we werent constantly being fed an ideal concept of love as the norm in mass media? like what is a natural process of human feelings and what is just a projection of how we want to love and want to be loved based on what we’ve seen on tv and read in books etc? in this essay i will

let f(x) be a polynomial with non-negative integer coefficients such that f(10) is prime. If all coefficients are ≤49598666989151226098104244512918, then f(x) is irreducible over Z[x]. Moreover, they proved that this bound is also sharp. In other words, coefficients larger than 49598666989151226098104244512918 do not guarantee irreducibility.

numbers are so fucking stupid man

conversations of amatonormativity and consent overlap a lot and should be discussed side by side more frequently. because when you live in a society that teaches you that you’re supposed to want sex and romance, that you may want to say no in the moment but you shouldn’t say no forever, any statements about consent get muddied. you cannot at once preach that consent is vital and “you can always say no” and also insist that people should give sex and romance a try, even when they express disinterest, telling them “eventually you’ll find the right person.”

My favorite part of Mistborn Era 2 is that time when Wayne is being stalked by two shady guys and Wax is upset because he thinks Wayne must have some unpaid debt or something and then we actually meet the two guys and they’re like “Please sir we really need to talk about diversifying your investment portfolio.” 10/10 plot twist, I think about it all the time

Dusk is officially my favourite non-Stormlight Cosmere protagonist.

Ok, maybe he shares that spot with Wayne.

"Ain't nobody what knows the cow better than the butcher" is such an inspired and underrated quote from Wayne Terrisborn, and it being preceded by "Your grasp of the language is startling, considering how you so frequently brutalize it" from Wax only makes it better in every way!

Sanderson will go "oh, yeah, I really tried writing a well-thought out autistic character in Steris" and then you look at her husband who is currently fidgeting with a bullet and has low empathy and a very rigid and strong sense of justice and doesn't emote all that much and has a comfort outfit (mistcoat and Roughs hat) and comfort items (many guns) and struggles with social cues and hates smalltalk and parties
