I just watched the most disheartening, devolved display of humanity ever. I’m truly a hopefully person, except for right now when I’m horrified.

It was a video about choreographed frat-boy puking. Oh god.

Dear Coquette: On being clueless

Dear Coquette: On being clueless:

dearcoquette:

I’m 18. I like porn but I don’t feel the tiniest desire to have sex in real life. Plus, I don’t even know which gender I want to do it with. I find both equally attractive. What the hell is going on?

Of course you like porn. Porn is junk food. It’s is cheap, artificially sweetened, and…

This one’s particularly riddled with good life lessons for my age group.

My friend (fairly) harassed me about moving the curling brooms out of her room yesterday. Now I’m texting her about getting them out and she keeps asking why I need to get into her room. Literally she’s asked me 3 times. Now she wants to meet me somewhere else.

W.h.y.a.r.e.y.o.u.b.e.i.n.g.s.o.s.t.u.p.i.d.

I have to go down to where she in to pick up the other brooms as well but I want to get this all done today since I don’t know what the gym’s hours are tomorrow and I’m leaving on Sunday.

OKAY THANK YOU SHE’LL LET ME TAKE HER KEYS UP YES THIS WORKS. Ugh I should find trash bags for the bags though since it’s POURING.

Seven fifty-two is the saddest number.

Planck Time

What is the smallest unit of time you can conceive? A second? A millisecond? Hard to say seeing as how time is relative. Under the right circumstances, hours can fly by and seconds can feel like a lifetime. But unfortunately for physicists, time is not something that can be delt with so philosophically. And since they deal with cosmological forces both infinitesimally large and small, they need units that can objectively measure them. When it comes to dealing with the small, Planck Time is the measurement of choice. Named after German physicist Max Planck, the founder of quantum theory, a unit of Planck time is the time it takes for light to travel, in a vacuum, a single unit of Planck length. Taken together, they part of the larger system of natural units known as Planck units.

Originally proposed in 1899 by German physicist Max Planck, Planck units are physical units of measurement defined exclusively in terms of five universal physical constants. These are the Gravitational constant (G), the Reduced Planck constant (h), the speed of light in a vacuum (c), the Coulomb constant(ke or k), and Boltzmann’s constant (kB, sometimes k). Each of these constants can be associated with at least one fundamental physical theory: c with special relativity, G with general relativity and Newtonian gravity, with quantum mechanics, with electrostatics, and kB with statistical mechanics and thermodynamics. They were invented as a means of simplifying the particular algebraic expressions appearing in theoretical physics, especially in quantum mechanics.

Ultimately, Planck time is derived from the field of mathematical physics known as dimensional analysis, which studies units of measurement and physical constants. The Planck time is the unique combination of the gravitational constant G, the relativity constant c, and the quantum constant h, to produce a constant with units of time. They are often semi-humorously referred to by physicists as “God’s units” because eliminate anthropocentric arbitrariness from the system of units, unlike the meter and second, which exist for purely historical reasons and are not derived from nature. Some challenges to Planck’s Time have been mounted. For example, in 2003 during the analysis of the Hubble Space Telescope Deep Field images, some scientists speculated that where there are space-time fluctuations on the Planck scale, images of extremely distant objects should be blurry. The Hubble images, they claimed, were too sharp for this to be the case. Other scientists disagreed with this assumption however, with some saying the fluctuations would be too small to be observable, others saying that the speculated blurring effect that was expected was off by a very large magnitude. A unit of Planck Time can be expressed (in the third picture).

My first post-college class will be in this. If my mama can get a phd years later I can at least get a BS in this.

I’m so excited to do nothing but get paid to watch fireworks tomorrow, you have no idea.

There are few things I want to do less than go to a ‘Last Chance Dance’ for the next four hours. Very few.

This actually made me feel lightly enraged.

I think there’s literally only 2 people living on the boys’ first floor hallway in my building and it’s still comparable to a level of hell. How does this always happen.

“The practice of “matching” a story is an outdated one that still continues despite the fact we’re all now working with a medium that no longer requires it. If someone already reported the story, you’ve verified their story is correct, and you have nothing to move that story forward, write a brief and link to who did the legwork already. By all means, let your readers know about the story, lead them to it. Be a beacon for all news, not just your own. Then, move on and produce something of more value. Newsrooms are low on resources, apply those resources efficiently. Your 500 word re-write of the same article your “competitor,” as you call them, is un-necessary and a total waste of time.”

This is where more analytical journalism comes in. While reiterating facts is silly, analyzing facts and providing alternative interpretations is an important facet of journalism now.
But seriously people just link to the AP sometimes.

mamamantis:

so are we gonna discuss how fucked up it is that women have to wear makeup to be taken seriously at work and job interviews but if a woman has a genuine interest in and enjoyment of cosmetics she is written off as shallow, vain, and stupid, and consequently not taken seriously

Watch one episode of America’s Next Top Model and tell me that makeup isn’t serious shit. It’s basically science and art mixed together. Have you seen what makeup artists did for the Iron Lady? That’s no kid shit, folks. Make up is real.

White people get mad when you wear a band t shirt of a band you don’t listen to, but they’re fine with wearing headdresses from cultures they know and care nothing about.

Someone on Facebook just posted a picture of their final project for Set Design.

It was for Anitgone and said “it takes places in a marketplace/Greek thing”.

Even a 7th grader without Spark Notes could tell you that’s not accurate.

THE WHOLE THING IS IN THE CASTLE YOU IDIOT.

At 1230 I went to go shower and watch Scandal.

At 1 I got to the bonfire, tucked away behind the rugby field.

At 230 we got in the cars and went down to McDonalds.

At 4 I realized it was 4, and regretted nothing.

Update: I’m at a bonfire.

I apologize in advance but I’m catching up on Scandal tonight.

I will cry. I will blog. I will regret.

I will repeat.
