Wrong: Ada Lovelace invented computer science and immediately tried to use it to cheat at gambling because she was Lord Byron's daughter.

Right: Ada Lovelace invented computer science and immediately tried to use it to cheat at gambling because that was the closest you could get in 1850 to being a Super Mario 64 speedrunner.

This is how I found out that Ada Lovelace was Lord Byrons daughter

[prokopetz]

Well, yeah. That's why she received the unusual education which laid the foundation for her later discoveries in the first place. Her mother, Lady Byron, firmly believed three things:

It was her responsibility as a mother to ensure that Ada didn't turn out like her father;

Fundamentally, the thing that was wrong with Lord Byron is that he was a poet; and

The opposite of poetry is math.

Ada Lovelace's biography handily illustrates how well this theory worked out in practice.

i still think franks most haunting lyric is "ive felt this bad for so long im scared im fine" like the way he cuts to the greatest anxieties and deepest insecurities of living with mental and/or physical illness (especially chronic illness) and how feeling terrible and exhausted just becomes a part of daily life to the point where you start doubting your own illness. What if you're just supposed to be like this? what if this is fine? When suffering becomes normal what does normal become?

youve been laying at rock bottom for so long your eyes adjusted to the darkness and the bedrocl feels like pillows compared to how much farther down you could be.

holy shit have you evver tried this new substance called album in order

Harrison Armory: None shall stand in the path of the marching flame. All will bow before our might in awe or lay crushed bellow our boot. Glory to Harrison!

Smith-Shimano: Speed. Grace. Precision. To advance- to hone the cutting edge- is more than just a drive, it’s transcendence. Man is divine, and his chariot is wreathed in gold and steel.

HORUS: Something stirs in the depths of the machine vast and unfathomable. It sings sweet promises to the mad and promises dominion to those unshackled by the chains of reality. Break free. Know the unknowable.

I met a girl who did a very good half of exam but didn't actually know the answer, so she wrote a full page (two sides), left half a sentence at the end of the page and wrote "Page 1 of 2" and submitted that. Because the teacher assumed it was her fault and that she had lost half of the exam, she gave her a passing grade hoping she wouldn't complain. And she didn't, of course.

In college, I forgot I had a paper (that I hadn't written a word of) due, until the teacher asked us to pass them forward at the start of the class... I had my computer though, and so I said I had forgotten the printed copy at home, could I please run to the computer lab after class and print it and bring it right over? He said sure, he could wait a few minutes since it was just downstairs. I don't have to look at my hands to type, so I wrote it in class while staring at the board like I was taking notes, and printed it off after. Got a B on it.

the "came back wrong" trope except like... they didnt. like this mad scientists wife died, and so he studied necromancy, brought her back, and she came back and it all worked. like she came back exactly the same as she was before with literally no difference. but the scientist guy is like "oh no... what have i done.... shes Different now!!!! she came back Wrong!!!!" and shes just like. chilling. reading a book. cooking dinner. shes just so so normal but in the guys mind hes like "oh shes soooo weird" but shes just normal

NO its a JOKE and YOU DONT GET IT. ITS NOT THAT DEEP

[hiveswap]

While she was dead he put his memory of her on such a high pedestal that she could never live up to it alive

[midnight-revolucion]

alternatively‚ she came back perfectly fine but he thinks she came back wrong‚ because the tragic reality is that he never actually knew his wife

[marlinspirkhall]

It's your post but the journey to posting it changed it to such a degree that even its closest intimacies are now foreign to you. Sorry dude.

i cannot recommend enough that everybody who likes this post read this short story:

L'Esprit de L'Escalier - Reactor

In this provocative and rich retelling of the Greek myth, Orpheus, the musician son of Apollo and Calliope, successfully rescues his wife Eu

It is a retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice where she is successfully brought back to the living world but Orpheus thinks she 'came back wrong'
