Thorn's Rants

NB | ey/em/eir | 34 My random posts and reblogs. It really could contain anything from explicit, to tame, to boring, to sheer genius. It might be games, it might be what my friends are up to, it might be politics, religion, or porn. Whatever I get the feeling to write about is going up here.

BTW, this is all canon, Loki is canonically genderfluid and is referred to as a “both” or “neither” by others, even Odin:

i love one (1) genderfluid norse deity and one (1) support icon

This has the same energy as “act like a lady.” “I’m a guy today” “then act like a gentleman”

It's almost like guns are tools designed to kill people, and having a tool designed to kill people makes it easier to kill people.

[illegally-tired]

wait is this true

did we actually have gun control at some point in the recent past?

[devilish-cunt-deactivated201909]

yes. there’s a study for you on the effect it had as well conducted by the natn’l institute of justice.

[illegally-tired]

LIT THANKS!!

And what's really going to bake your noodles, kids. The push for gun control in the US really got going in the late 60's by a Republican Govenor, Ronald Reagan AND the NRA.

What could have given the modern Republican party a spine, you ask? Well, it was those darn Black people of course! The Black Panther Party to be exact.

Long story short, the Panthers, in response to police brutality and systemic oppression, Panters urged Black people to arm themselves and to protect their own neighborhoods. They showed up to the state house with their rifles and handguns...

And faster than you can reload a fully automatic weapon, Reagan and the NRA were like, oh, Hell no! We need Gun Control! And that became the Mulford Act of 1967 which banned the open carrying of firearms. Go figure.

Bottom line, if it benefits the white supremacist power structure, this country can and will do anything. Big sigh. The hypocrisy is mind numbing.

And that's today's, The More You Know.

The NRA Supported Gun Control When the Black Panthers Had the Weapons

Back in the 1960s, even the NRA supported gun control to disarm the group.

Hermione: According to my calculations, it will take us 208 years to achieve gender equality.

Luna: ...That's the most specific bad news I've ever heard.

Ginny: 208 years?! Nuh-uh. Over my dead vagina.

ALL RIGHT YOU LITTLE SHITS GET READY TO LEARN SOMETHING

yOU WANNA ROTATE TEXT?! well mod 5ider has got the fucking t r i c k s homie

Step one: Type something.

P E R F E C T.

sTEP TWO: FIND THE RESIZE OPTION.

You see that little resize button on your menu?

Yeah, that’s the one. you can just click that shit!

On older versions of MS Paint there isn’t this option, but you can always find it with a quick right-click.

THERE IT FUCKING IS!!!!!

 STEP THREE: STRETCH AND SKEW

When you click resize, this menu comes up.

I’m sure you all have seen this menu before, but for those who don’t, I’ll clue you in. The top options control the length and respective width of your artwork. you can choose to alter them separately,

or all together

Using that little “Maintain Aspect Ration” checkbox there, but that’s not important right now.

wHat we’re focusing on is that skew option on the botttom.

with that you can t i l t whatever image yuo have on your screen to the left

to the right

up

and down.

“BUT 5IDER!!!!!” you say, “THAT DOESN’T LOOK ROTATED AT ALL”

wELL HOLD ON TO YOUR LUG NUTS BECAUSE I T ’ S T I M E F O R

STEP 4: ULTRA COMBOOOOOOOO!!!!!

now, comes the fun part. unlike its aspect ratio locked cousin, the stretch and skew options work independently from one another. So, you can do things like 

and

But that’s neither here nor there… what gets REALLY interesting is when your ratios are in opposite directions..

HOME RUN!

Now, before I let you go, I found out through trial and error that an angle doesn’t exactly match up with its negative dimension…

(Step 5: Angular ratios)

See? there’s a little offset between vertical and horizontal if your expect your text to appear natural instead of tilted. The only places that this offset reaches zero is at 90° (of course) and the rare and extremely dangerous 45° rotations.

Fortunately, I’ve already mapped out a few angles that I find are very useful in my works so, for your viewing pleasure… i present my handy dandy graph

All you have to do is match up your desired angle up to its respective complement and you have quickly and efficiently rotated your first word in MS Paint.

Have fun!
