There is always the case when the forces acting on the body cancel out each other and the net force acting on the object becomes zero. At those times, the body stays at rest ( or moves at constant velocity )
Have a great day!

Good job, Tumblr.
Happy Downton Day! Here’s Maggie Smith with a lightsaber in period clothing. Enjoy ⩲
If you don’t say which period, “period clothing” sounds gross.
Mansplaining 101
We have a regular customer at my work (sushi restaurant) who is antiquated with my manager through friends and exes. She usually refers to him as “her friend Lexie’s ex” and leaves it at that. He doesn’t usually cause much trouble and tips well.
HOWEVER, last Saturday night my coworker made the mistake of asking him if he wanted his change back, or if it was meant as a tip. He went on a tirade, belittling her, and claiming in his “years of working in restaurant management” he’d been taught to “NEVER mention the tip in front of a customer”. (as if tips aren’t the ONLY way servers make money?)
He also refused to leave a tip because of this interaction. So I told my manager the next day. Come to find out, this guy had never managed any business in his life. He’d worked at an Olive Garden for less than 3 months before being fired for lack of “personable service”. He’d also been caught soliciting men for gay sex on Craigslist. (despite being in a supposedly heterosexual relationship with my manager’s friend at the time.)
So, my manager called him up and made him come in and apologize. She made him leave a tip for his server from the previous night, and a tip for the sushi chefs as well.
Basically (and this part is particularly directed towards any ladies who have experienced mansplaining which, let’s be honest, is probably all of us) when a man tells you you’re doing something wrong, check him. Ask how he knows it’s wrong. Ask him what makes him think he’s so much smarter than you. Call him out on his bullsh*t. Because 9 times out of 10 it’s some douche like this Prince Charming who doesn’t actually have a clue about anything, and just wants to make you feel inferior to him.
First of all, you never EVER EVER ASK IF SOMEBODY WANTS THEIR CHANGE. This is serving 101. The assumption is that they DO want their change until they specify otherwise. So to start with - you did something rude.
His refusal to leave a tip is his right as the customer. You need to get over yourself. Getting stiffed sucks, but you did something rude…so you kinda earned it.
You told your manager the next day…did you mention how you were rude? I doubt it. His work history is irrelevant. As is his sexual preferences and/or relationship status, you sexist homophobic piece of garbage.
Your manager, who is an acquaintance of his (antiquated made me laugh,) MADE HIM COME BACK AND APOLOGIZE? PLUS A TIP FOR BOTH THE SERVER AND THE SUSHI CHEF? WHAT POWER DOES YOUR MANAGER HAVE? HOW CAN THE MORTALS AMONG US OBTAIN IT? Oh, that’s right, we can’t because you’re full of shit.
Mansplaining? Eat shit, moron. That’s a term used to shut down dissenting opinion. Your opinions are stupid.
Ladies, I have always treated you with respect on this blog, and I preach respect for my coworkers and guests (male or female because unlike OP I’m not sexist trash) so believe me when I tell you that 99% of the time calling a guest out on this behavior will end up with you getting the short end of the stick.
Why does Tumblr have to be such a breeding ground of ridiculousness? The blog I took this from is almost as cancerous as this post. JFC.
Lmao hello spawn of satan, if you actually read the post, anon is talking about a coworker that this happened to. Anon specifically mentioned that the coworker mentioning the holy word “tip” was a mistake! So thanks for attacking my anon about nothing she actually did :)
His work history IS relevant bc he claimed he had “worked years in restaurant management” which ended up being not true and was actually fired shortly after working at an Olive Garden. Which means he’s lying about having any authority over the waitress. Anon wasn’t homophobic she mentioned that the customer was cheating on his female partner by having gay sex. So.
It’s up to women individually to decide if they want to confront ppl about their bullshit (kind of like I’m doing right now!), more specifically men, so thanks for the #realtalk but anon was trying to empower women to stand up for ourselves. But thanks for telling us to tolerate bullshit male behavior just like we’ve been told for centuries you’re a real pal!!!!!!
Good to see your response was as cancerous as the original post. Good god.
@workplacesupportgroup
Thanks for being totally ignorant, sexist, and downright retarded for all the world to read. John’s use of the word “you” is correct in that he addresses the coworker. Your misinterpretation is your own doing. Grow the fuck up and grow a fucking brain.
This whole time I thought you were a chic
I am
A chic what?
FORESHADOWING
okay but quick question you pointed at a random car and said it was from cars
That was not a question.
no one else is allowed to complain about minions cause this is what i have to wear every time i walk into my minimum wage job
as I was walking out of the bathroom a group of small children screamed in excitement when they saw the back of my shirt and their mom was like “yeah look at that she’s wearing the minions!!!” and they were all so excited and I’m so empty
Please stop fucking saying “was like” because you sound so retarded it’s not even funny.
I don’t care if your black or white. Gay or straight. Male or female.
All I care about is that you’re not onision, because he’s a fucking cuck.
How did you spell “you’re” wrong the first time?

men fabricated the idea that they are the default sex to compensate for their biological inferiority and general superfluousness
this is not just the “natural order” this is the language of a patriarchal culture
Omg no, you are wrong on so many levels and as a linguist this makes me ache something terrible. In my linguistics class in undergrad, we actually made fun of people who think like you along these lines and for good reason, because you are wholly ignorant and are choosing to spin narratives about things and fields which you know completely nothing about yet pretend you do.
She: This word evolved naturally from Old English from seo/heo which were just words to refer to feminine-female people evolving from Proto-Germanic words meaning ‘that/there’. He as a word evolved from the same ideas but Proto-Germanic words for ‘this/here’. Your idea of “patriarchal language” further falls apart when you compare this part of English to other Germanic languages, of which English is related, the words in German for he and she are “er” and “sie”, completely unrelated. So it is by clear happenstance, not some patriarchal conspiracy that the words “he” and “she” in English have similar form.
Woman: Oh god this one always gets my goat when people go for this one. Man did not used to mean “male”, man used to mean “humanity/human being”, the old words in Old English for male adult person and female adult person were “werman” and “wifman” respectively, we can see this relation in words like werewolf and wife as being the remnants of the base “wer-” and the base “wif-”. Woman evolved phonologically from the word “wifman” by natural processes where the ‘f’ sound dropped and the ‘i’ became lax. Man dropped its “wer” stem for reasons mostly unknown but I can guarantee have nothing to do with “patriarchy” because phonological change has no basis in that.
Female: Male and Female actually come etymologically from two completely different words. Male comes from Old French “masle” which meant masculine, while Female came from Old French as well “femella” which meant young woman. This is another case, just like he and she, where the words coincidentally ended up looking similar without having any direct correlation in historical linguistic processes to make them as such.
Human: This word etymologically derives from Proto-Indo-European “ghomon” which means earthly being as opposed to heavenly being which would refer to gods. You have some small glimmer of hope here in that the word does eventually branch off into the word for “man” in some languages but this is still too small of a precedent to base any conspiratorial thinking like you are doing off of.
Person: This one offends me the most, simply because I love the fuck out of Etruscan language and your continued ignorance just irks me at this point. Person derives from “persona” from Latin which meant the same meaning, which ultimately derived from “phersu” Etruscan for ‘mask’ as Etruscans would often have theatre performers use masks to give identity to the performers. So never once did “person” have any meaning to do with “son”. So yes, this IS the “natural order” or language.
Please never proselytise your faulty ideology and misandrist thinking within speaking about word origins and morphology again, as unless you actually do fact checking, I will school the everloving hell out of you, stay in your lane.
Fucking overkill @sjwfail check this shit out.
Dude, there's correcting someone on their grammar, and then there's being straight-up rude. I understand your desire to have all the grammar in the world be perfect, but that's not how it works. People choose to type the way they want, especially on tumblr of all places, and you reblogging posts telling people they're "retards" isn't going to fix anything. It's only going to piss off everyone. Also, don't you know the difference between prescriptive grammar and descriptive grammar?
Oh how few shits I give.
Food Science Friday : Chillies!
Bite into a hot pepper and it feels a lot like you’ve taken a sip of a hot drink.
How can something that’s not hot in temperature produce the same reactions as something that is hot? Reactions like pain or sweating?
Capsaicin, you cheeky devil!
Chilli’s are abundant in this chemical known as Capsaicin.
Image source: Flickr CC user Chris Potako
This chemical stimulates both the temperature and pain receptors.
It simultaneously tells that you are experiencing an increase in temperature as well as pain!
Your Brain Is Confused
Your brain gets these confusing signals and is not quite sure if you are just being subjected to moderate warmth or being burned.
To be on the safer side of things, the nervous system responds to the more severe stimulus: pain.
Ergo, the body reacts in the same way as if its being subjected a burn, i.e pain, sweating and flushing.
You respond to the brain’s message by gulping a cool drink to quench the perceived burn. Its remarkable how the whole system cycles around.
We are a wondrous species
We have amazingly taken a response that triggers the senses to combat against a perceived burn, and have somehow made that pleasurable.
Bedazzles me every time.
Side note:
Chillies are not ‘hot’ when one is discerning about Temperature ( as this thermal image also elucidates ). Please do not be confused by the ambiguity in the usage of the term.
How did you manage to spell “chilies” two different ways and spell them both wrong?
Okay, but I have found that I have some serious pet peeves while working the register, like…
Not using the pen on the credit card machine despite the fact that it says right on the screen “please use pen” and getting mad when it doesn’t work.
Quickly giving me their phone number to look up their card when it is bluntly obvious I am not ready/I’m in the middle of something else.
Pounding the machine really hard and repetitively with the pen and/or finger.
Me asking for their rewards card so they can get the sale price while they fight me on the price being wrong and not giving me the card.
Forcing the exit door open despite the fact that it says “do not enter”
LITERALLY NO ONE USES THE DAMN PEN. EVER.
Not putting the product number on bulk tags even though it says, on the bulk bins, to write down the number then attempting to give me the “price” instead. That literally does not help me.
Adjusting scan gun to scan their cards and they keep moving the card with me like just sTAY STILL.
WHY ARE YOU LETTING YOUR KID TOUCH EVERYTHING, NOW IT’S BROKEN, GOOD JOB.
While answering calls, people asking for the manager, only for me to redirect them and they ask them a stock related question. That’s why we have stock boys, people.
Ma’am, as you can see I am literally the only cashier here, I can not leave the front, I’m sorry you have to wait like 30 seconds for me to call a stock boy but chill.
HOLY. SHIT. USE. THE. PEN. IT. WON’T. BITE. YOU.
I stopped at “okay but.”
Don’t talk like a retard and you’ll get people smarter than retards to read your stupid thoughts.
Is there anymore in the back
“Well can’t you check???”
This is my department, I know every item that comes in and gets sold, be it $1 or $50.
“Well can you just check anyway???”
Any more*
“I do pro wrestling on the side. It’s my weekend high. My wrestling name is Dirtbag Dan. I’m not very big so I’m one of the dirtiest fighters. My job is to make people hate me. I do all kinds of cheap moves: eye gouging, face-raking, stuff like that. I even gave a guy a wet willy once. I’ll go into the crowd and rip people’s signs up. I’ll tell a college kid that he should have been swallowed. Or if it’s family night, I’ll tell a little girl there’s no Santa Clause. Somebody’s got to be the bad guy. Because if there aren’t bad guys, there are no good guys. There can be no Chris Steeler without Dirtbag Dan.”
Do you know what a clause is?
what the fuck. theres not even a fucking joke here. its just the fucking alphabet. i was expecting some kind of fucking meme like “gun” or “john cena” or something like that but no its just the fucking alphabet. here. on tumblr.com. 26 users just fucking banded together to write the alphabet. what the fuck, man.
I think the update broke them, and almost everyone else.

I think it’s appropriate how the word “ma’am” came to be. If you don’t know, let me show you a ma’amogram:
Domina (Latin)
Damisele (Old French)
Damsel
(Ma) dame (French)
Madame*
Madam (Anglicized)
Ma’am (Contracted)
*Used to denote marriage or ownership of a woman, like the title “Mrs.”
Ma’am means “my lady.” Feminism, if it were a real thing in 2015, should have wiped this word out a long time ago. Ma’am is a word of possession. “Master” should be the title of respect for everyone. Master doesn’t show posession. In fact, “Mrs.” is closer related to “Master’s” than “Ma’am.” The people of the day would say “The master’s wife” and that evolved into “Mrs.”
It’s also funny how ma’am is similar to the Latin prefix mammo-. When the Enlightenment came around, a bunch of drunk scientists came back to the lab on Monday morning after a night at the strip club and said “Let’s start naming shit.” “Let’s give shit Latin names.” “Dude, what should we call animals?” “Well animals have titties. What’s the Latin word for titties?” Hence why some animals and humans are known as mammals. Ergo, if you’re a ma’am, you’re just a set of tits.
There needs to be a gender-neutral version of “sir” and “madam”
Words don’t have gender. Names don’t have gender. Most things in the universe don’t have gender. Stop proscribing gender to things.
