Confusion. Look something up. More confusion. The academic experience

#the square root of the arithmethic mean of the squares of the deviations from the arithmetic mean #this one is really pathetic tho i looked up standard deviation and im like wtf #like i understand it but jesus fu k i have not taken math since calculus several years ago give me a break #does discrete structures count as math... no

Today I will eat three corn dogs

damn,, i think ill eat √10 corndogs

#how the fuck do you eat the square root of 10 corndogs wtf

Hey just wanna say as someone for who is very bad at math, this tournament has been a pretty cool way to learn about interesting abstract numbers. I came in like "ugh I wanted fun cultural numbers like 69 and 12! Not this weird esoteria!" But then I dug in and like, Belphegors prime and the WTF inverse square root code is really cool! Thanks for making it accessible.

:D

[strawberri-yan]

Dr.Ratio:Answer correctly, what is the square root of 16

You:4

Dr.Ratio:*moans and cums*

Now im imagining you saying a rando number and getting it correct somehow and he orgasms while your like: wtf??? Just happened???

The Creeping Man pt 2

There was a lot going on last time. There was a dog behaving strangely. Its owner behaving even more strangely and at least two professors whose daughters were engaged. Although one of those engagements (the one to another professor) was broken off, I'm pretty sure. And people seem to think that the reason that professor is behaving strangely is because of the engagement? Just a lot going on. I went back to my post about it, but got stuck on that gif I posted of Oscar Isaac licking his fingers, which derailed me a bit.

I was thinking there might be something going on inheritance-wise. But honestly, I'm not sure I have enough information at the moment to judge.

Oh, yeah, and fiancee No. 2, who is the daughter of fiance No. 1, just walked in and is about to tell us a story.

“I was awakened in the night by the dog barking most furiously. Poor Roy, he is chained now near the stable."

Roy knows something, I'm telling you. If only we could cast Speak with Animals.

"...we all have a feeling of impending danger."

"My room is on the second floor. It happened that the blind was up in my window, and there was bright moonlight outside. As I lay with my eyes fixed upon the square of light, listening to the frenzied barkings of the dog, I was amazed to see my father's face looking in at me."

More evidence in favour of demonic possession, obviously. Or this is like that Green Wing episode where someone puts a picture of Jesus on the end of a stick and holds it up to windows.

Anyone else watch Green Wing here? Just me?

Coolcool.

Also, 2nd floor is one higher than you think if you're American. In the UK we have Ground floor, then first floor, then second floor.

"It was no delusion, Mr. Holmes."

Delusions, of course, being things that you definitely know if you're having or not. Traditionally.

“The date being September 5th,” said Holmes. “That certainly complicates matters.”

I do not remember anything about the date in part one. But I am assuming that this is important in some way because Holmes is drawing attention to it.

Birthdays? Something that happens on 6th September?

“Possibly you are thinking of the connection between insanity and phases of the moon?”

I know the etymology of the word lunatic, and yet still when people say things like this I have a moment of wtf.

I feel like it's not the 5th that's important, but the day before or the day after.

"We will therefore call upon him as if he had given us an appointment upon such a date. He will put it down to his own lack of memory."

I know this word gets thrown around a lot, but this is literally gaslighting. That's right, distort the man who is possibly mentally ill's sense of reality even further, Holmes. Go on. Do it.

“I warn you, however, that the professor is irascible and violent at times.”

Does he just have dementia? I mean there's nothing just about dementia, but it feels like maybe he's just... not well. Obviously that's not the case or else there wouldn't be a story and his name wouldn't need clearing or whatever it is. But still... missing time, behaving strangely, violent outbursts?

They might be lying about all of this, of course.

"There is, if I remember right, an inn called the Chequers where the port used to be above mediocrity and the linen was above reproach."

It's clean and the booze will get you drunk. The highest of praise.

"...an easy effort on the part of Holmes, who had no roots to pull up, but one which involved frantic planning and hurrying on my part, as my practice was by this time not inconsiderable."

Since when? For how? Last we knew Holmes had paid someone to buy your practice so you could move in with him. Then you got married again, and now you're a super successful doctor? When? Where is your wife, btw? Is she dead again?

“I presume that you do not go so far as to assert that I summoned you?” “I would rather answer no questions,” said Holmes.

So you're... not going to gaslight the man who is possibly mentally ill.

Good choice.

“That was my miscalculation. It is evident that his memory is much more reliable than I had thought."

But only because he's not as mentally ill as you thought he was.

"I have the address of the man in London to whom the professor writes. He seems to have written this morning, and I got it from his blotting-paper."

Oh yeah, he's also writing weird letters after having gone off to Europe for a while to nurse his broken heart. I forgot about that. There's a lot of stuff going on here.

So far he's done nothing but be kind of angry and aggressive.

“Mercer is since your time,” said Holmes.

I know that ACD did not keep track of the time line or give a fuck about continuity, but we haven't seen any real evidence of a gap in Watson hanging around with Holmes. But yay for introducing another random character whom we have never seen and whom we will never see again.

Technically we haven't see him this time, either.

Why would someone crawl down a passageway? Because they're looking for something on the ground? Did he drop something?

We were, I may say, seated in the old sitting-room of the ancient hotel, with a bottle of the famous vintage of which Holmes had spoken on the table between us.

Holmes said the port was 'above mediocrity', which is pretty far from a ringing endorsement. Now it's 'famous'? I bet it's no brandy, though.

“Let us, then, form the provisional theory that every nine days the professor takes some strong drug which has a passing but highly poisonous effect. His naturally violent nature is intensified by it. He learned to take this drug while he was in Prague, and is now supplied with it by a Bohemian intermediary in London. This all hangs together, Watson!”

And the reason for him taking it every 9 days, like clockwork?

Not sure that's how drugs work. I really feel like Holmes would know that.

“But the dog, the face at the window, the creeping man in the passage?”

I'm still not entirely put off the 'doppelganger' explanation for the dog. Then the other two can both be explained as him looking for something. What, I have no idea, but something small enough that he had to crawl around on his hands and knees to find it.

Diamonds?

"In the meantime we can only keep in touch with friend Bennett and enjoy the amenities of this charming town.”

And its famous, not-mediocre port, I guess.

For anyone who thinks that the uk government's reaction to the pro-palestine protests are in any way justified: first of all, fuck you, second of all, go read up on The Six Acts. *This isn't the first time* the British government has responded to the people's pleas in such a predatory way, *and it certainly won't be the last*.

It isn't even the first time in recent memory, but I wanted to just share a story from 1819 to show just how deeply rooted this is. I'm going to summarise the Peterloo Massacre, a horrific case of anti-worker action, which led to a piece of legislation called the Six Acts.

For those of you who don't know, the Peterloo Massacre was a violent, brutal response to a peaceful protest in Manchester. An MP popular with the working class called Henry Hunt was due to do a talk at the protest about worker's rights.

To give you an idea about Henry Hunt, he believed in workers rights, and the right for women's suffrage at a time when the right to vote was even restricted among men. He's a legend in his own right but he pissed off a lot of the local businessmen who relied on the slave labour of the working class in their mills.

Will Hulton was such a businessman, and he ordered Joe Nadin (a very dodgy bounty hunter) to arrest Henry Hunt. Joe said "wtf there's a whole protest I can't do that alone" so Will decided to call on the Cavalry to help. The Cavalry in question was a new division created a couple years prior specifically to quell working class unrest in Northern England.

So they went to this peaceful protest at St Peter's Square, Manchester, and charged into a crowd of 10,000 people. A dozen or so were killed and hundreds were reported as injured.

The government's response? The Six Acts. Rules which restricted any talk at all of reform.

There's a good song about the massacre called "With Henry Hunt We'll Go". You can find a performance of it by Harry Boardman that's proper grand. The Oldham Tinkers also perform a song called "Peterloo". *Never forget Peterloo*.

wait I'm realizing now that maybe the quadratic formula song I learned isn't to the tune of pop goes the weasel. it's like not sounding right in my head. wtf is the song I know? "opposite of bee-ee opposite of bee-ee, plus or minus the square root plus or minus the square root, of b squared minus 4ac, b squared minus 4ac, all over 2a. all over 2a." wtf is that??

[moonscape]

okay but now i have to hear about that hero/gengar thing you mentioned grjdjdnd

sorry for only just now getting around to this sjdhjdjd

so in my lore i really like the idea of hero and gengar getting together. mostly because i find it very funny.

like the theme that's repeated in my pmd1 story is redemptions and how doing terrible things in the past can't stop you from being a good person in the future. you can see this with how mayar (hero) was a criminal before her tranformation into a pokemon, and she had some deep rooted self-hatred and believed she was inherently a terrible person because of her profession, which was why she asked gardevoir to erase their memories in order to prove to herself that they were capable of good. newlin (partner) had been ostracized from birth and this caused him to be prone to anger, until one day his bullies took it too far and he lashed out violently at them, causing him to be exiled from his place of birth. he forms a rescue team in order to try and do some good in the world to "make up for [his] existence", and despite him having a turbulent relationship with mayar up until this point the fugitive arc kinda hits him hard because he's been in mayar's paws before so that's why he believes in them so hard, because he wants her to be better. and ofc we know gengar's (who i've named alphard, i just haven't made the post for my pmd1 npc redesigns yet) deal.

obviously i connected mayar and newlin to those themes with the fugitive arc, but as for mayar and alphard, this comes in a little later. alphard overhears tureis (gardevoir) tell mayar about her past during the dream eater sequence, which he initially believes proves his own self-hatred right - that humans are all inherently terrible. but hearing more about how mayar had their memories wiped so that they could prove to herself that she's capable of good gives alphard a new perspective. he helps out with the teleportation gem and saves her and newlin from the meteor blast to see if mayar really can challenge his views on humans, her, and most importantly, himself.

during the post game it takes him a while to accept that this is the case and also swallow his pride in asking for help, but mayar's actions in saving the world inspired him to make things right with tureis. and after tureis is saved he and mayar have a small moment where mayar expresses what she's learned: that nobody is exempt from turning things around and becoming their best self, and that nobody is exempt from being loved by others, and that he deserves that chance to, especially after what he'd just done. alphard kinda has an arrow in the heart moment at this because. wtf? wtf?????? he had sent a fucking violent mob with murderous intent after them and then she goes and says THAT to him???? literally what is wrong with her <333 anyway they do eventually get together and everybody hates it but nobody can really object to it because even though gengar's reputation is less than favourable still the pokemon square community respects mayar too much to object.

anyway sorry for infodumping about their lore, here's their actual dynamic:

-both view themselves as the "normal" one in the relationship that can keep the other grounded, when in reality they're just as bad as each other. alphard still can't get over easily mayar forgave the whole mob thing, meanwhile if alphard ever changed his mind about becoming good and decided to try and send another mob after mayar they'd probably just be really into it

-mayar sees him making babies cry (the redemption thing is a work in progress) and is like "i need him so badly". no wonder everybody hates them

-they're aware that everybody in town internally groans everytime they see then together but they just find the notoriety funny, especially because it's pretty apparent that it's just a front and that the townsfolk are happy for them. newlin's misery is fucking increasing though (he is happy for mayar regardless). medicham and ekans have been their biggest fans since day one because they're alphard's biggest hype men

-with all that being said they do not have kids. thank god.

-alphard is this post to me:

-they're stupid4stupid. and after mayar evolves into delcatty they're purple4purple

#mail #was gonna include links to mayar and newlin's toyhouse pages but mobile still won't let me format posts very well :( #i recently got them both up to date (i wanna fix mayar's mouth on their official art though) #alpahrd and tureis (and shiloh. my ninetales design) don't have pages yet but i'll get them done eventually #getting my artfight characters up to date takes priority first though. i'm adding my hero/partner teams this year #yoshifawful64

people dumbassified ROOT??? i watched poi a couple years after it aired and was never tuned into the fandom and. i know all too well that fandoms are annoying and constantly try to fit the square pegs that are actual characters into the round holes that are fandom archetypes but. they dumbassified ROOT???

in fairness it's been a while since the show aired i don't remember anymore how frequent it was (also root is a smug bitch who loves constantly reminding ppl that she's smarter than everyone else so it's one of those things the show never actually lets you forget) but i remember seeing fanart from time to time where it was just like. wtf

#ask #anon #a combination of dumbassification and also acting like shes not a massive bitch?????? #like theyd be like 'yeah she kills people but she's so cute about it' #bruh she is an ASSASSIN . #i guess they could've 'mean lesbian'd her #but at least that wouldve been MORE ACCURATE

ok

progging a story mode operation is. different. reminds me of the Baby Catz doing Gods or Dxun for the first time...omg. was that seriously over two years ago??? and WOW didn't realize how much I'd missed Clueless Baby Catz Just Learning How To Raid

I'll be honest, the SM of this op legitimately feels like a hard mode right now

but my buddies and I are having so much fun! :D

both of my teams are progging R4 right now, and we're trying to do it by figuring out the mechanics ourselves instead of looking at the guides, and

voice is just FILLED with laughter as we fail horribly and wipe to figure out "well That didn't work," but we're having SO much fun.

I'll put Catz Shenanigans™ under the cut for possible boss/mechanic spoilery reasons

for the team that ran last night, it was truly a Blind Run for all but like one or two of us. started out strong with me literally YELPING and panic-clicking when the elevator disappeared from under me to send me plummeting. I 100% thought I was dead there

we learned to Not use knockbacks on the adds leading to Disco Ball because we got stuck in combat.

Gham was laughing at my woes of "THIS BOSS IS NOT SNIPER-FRIENDLY!!! D:<" as we progged the Disco Ball. "what boss IS sniper-friendly???" "NOT THIS ONE" *someone else, quietly: "Titan 6??"*

someone in guild who gave us some tips popped in to watch occasionally. I was streaming into discord, and he joins to see me standing in one of the lasers and got a kick out of it. my excuse was something along the lines of "one or two doesn't hurt so Imma be a turret" and I Totally wasn't one of the first to die that pull

for calling shapes on Disco Ball, we have the Very Normal "circle," "square," and "tri/triangle." then there's "HEXEEE" with such a Strange Pronunciation I don't even know how to type it out. "h-YEH-xee" ????

for the other team, that ran tonight:

I'm technically one of the tanks for this team, but since the first few bosses are solo-tankable, my co-tank told me to go ahead and DPS since I brought my vanguard/sniper, and ranged might be good since All of the other DPS were maras and juggs

the part where the elevator collapses under you, Gham (healing) ran way ahead of the rest of us, and ended up pulling an add group and started getting melted.

me: "u deserved that"

Gham: "no heals for Oliver!!! D:<"

The doggo resulted in "wait is the same or opposite color supposed to take that?? it said something about opposite polarity" *opposite color person steps between boss and tank* *nearly gets one-shot* "uhhhh let's try the same color this time"

The Hallway™ is literal hell and was a boss in itself wtf jakls;djks

while everyone else dealt with the boss add, I bolted for the door and barely managed to finish my channel to unlock it before I got attacked again

we only got a few pulls in on the boss after The Hallway™, and it mostly involved us floundering to figure out how to use the secondary abilities efficiently to get rid of the roots.

BUT

we were all excited to try the new op. it's fun trying to figure out the mechanics ourselves

...a little afraid of when one/both of my teams start progging it in HM, though. if it has wipe mechanics in story mode, then HM has gotta be rough

#oliver vs ops #void ramblings #swtor #operation: r-4 anomaly

I need teachers to stop expecting us to do the work if we don’t show up to school, there are good reasons why we didn’t show up

1. Were throwing up frickin intestines

2. Busy doing appointments stuff idk

3. Trying not to throw ourselves off a bridge

Like I’m not gonna be getting my tooth drilled into and be like “so doc what’s 7 x 16 to the square root of who gives a shit like wtf… were teenagers cut us some slack. And no I’m not gonna write my essay while taking a shit. get a life.

- ur pissed sleep deprived hangry students
