explaining the LSAT to people is so funny because it’s like “oh it’s an easier version of the SAT/ACT since there’s no science or math but also you have to answer the riddles”

like. “oh yeah you just read a short passage and have to answer what the main idea was. there’s some grammar or vocab sections too. oh and also

A class consists of eight students, each with either black, brown, red, or blonde hair. The following statements accurately characterize the students in the class:

1. Four girls have either blonde or brown hair

2. Only one student has red hair

3. Two boys have the same hair color

4. There are exactly three students in the class with brown hair

5. There is at least one type of each hair color represented in the class

Q:

What is the maximum number of students with blonde hair in the class?

What can we NOT say for certain about the distribution of girls in the class?

Which of the following is a possible scenario for the class distribution?

i deleted my blog and tumblr immediately asked me if i want to sign up again

and here you are

I told a kid in my class the other day that it was going to be the year of the tiger! This kid is a kindergartner, five years old.

Usually there’s some interest when I bring this up, but this kid sort of sat with that for a couple minutes, expression settling into a thousand yard stare. Just as I was wondering if something was wrong, he looked at me with his haunted eyes and asked, in a tone of resignation: “When are the tigers coming?”

I had to quickly reassure him that the year of the tiger was like…an animal assigned to the year, and not another plague or natural disaster! Between the Covid, lockdowns, and huge flood of cicadas last year this child probably decided that this was in line with how the world worked and was mentally getting his affairs in order.

‘​I guess a plague of tigers might as well happen’

cackling at this, can NOT believe it's a real, actual quote. it reads so much like one of those clickhole pieces

now i might be wrong. but i'm pretty sure these aren't omens. like these are just things that can kill you.

this is like if i said i'm a prophet because i know exactly when you'll die and then pulled out a gun and shot you with it

Tumblr: No NSFW! You know how it is we banned it because of the bots in 2018!

Also tumblr:

lmao

You know how it is then, folks!

MANUAL BLAZE MODE GO

….am I allowed to say “whovians, grab your TARDISes?” You know how it is.

Tumblr loves doing this.  I tried to make a post about the ads that showed actual human penises in them, with screenshots, and it was taken down for violating community guidelines.... unlike the ad, I guess?

The people defending this by saying "they're not bots they're sexworkers and sexworkers need a safe space 🥺" are missing the fucking point. According to you, we have to see sexual content without our consent?? According to you, tumblr is allowed to kick out NSFW artists - who could tag and label everything appropriately - while forcing unfiltered content at the very top of every users' feed??

Corn dogs are named for their traditional meat, the unicorn. As unicorns are now extinct, they can only be referred to properly as ‘Corn Dogs and not “Unicorn Dogs” as they were prior to 2009.

This is actually a common misconception! While the Unicorn Dog did exist and was discontinued following the extinction of unicorns in 2009, the Corn Dog is not a rebranding of the Unicorn Dog! The Corn Dog was created in 2003 by James H. Corn, though it remained a relatively unpopular Ohio treat until 2010 when Mr. Corn took the opportunity left by the Unicorn Dog’s exit from the market to take over the niche.

blood being frequently described as having a "coppery smell" in fiction is kind of funny considering that there is a metallic component to blood and it's not copper

in fact if your blood smells or tastes like copper you probably have more urgent things to worry about than it being outside your body. it's probably better that it's not inside you anymore actually.

story where blood is described as smelling or tasting "coppery" and it's actually early foreshadowing that all the characters are suffering from heavy metal poisoning

the fact that fat people are made to feel bad about everything down to how loud or hard they are breathing says a lot about this society

so many people are sharing their own experiences with this and i want to thank you all for being vulnerable and bringing more awareness to the struggles the fat community face.

i grew up dancing and ALWAYS breathed so hard and sweat A LOT. to the point my dance teacher would ask me if i'm okay in front of the whole class and i would feel utter humiliation.

i, too, have held my breath when walking across college campus for my classes, or when i was filming a video because i was so scared of someone commenting on my breathing.

this is not something we should have to feel bad for, a NORMAL human thing such as BREATHING. it's been said many times, but it cannot be said enough. we deserve so, so much better than this.

you people will reblog anything

tumblr live is creeping in so heres a thing to paste into ur ublock filter to make it fuck off

||tumblr-live.com www.tumblr.com##.ADlDx www.tumblr.com##div.KTRcB:nth-of-type(3)

this worked for me, assuming you have the uBlock browser extension installed (you might as well it’s a super duper Ad Blocker and site blocker -- I used it to get rid of Tw*tter Embeds which started being an immense source of page lag due to tw*tter's ongoing death spiral):

and now I don’t see the Tumbler / Creepy-Privacy-Invasion-Policy-Streaming-Company team-up promotional pictures at the top of my tumblr-dot-com page, or the "Live" icon at the top string of icons section on the left :D

HE LEETLE FEETSYS

very glad to see this post reduced everyone else mental capacity for communication as well

if i was a knight i would be playing in the local creek with all my armor on and also eating lots of bread in taverns and also be getting sicknesses

Yeah you're right. It WOULD be pretty fucked up if you were a swan but you were raised by ducks and you grew up never seeing another swan or even knowing that such a thing as a swan even existed so you just thought you were a duck with something super wrong with it.

If a person is asking you invasive questions or is generally making you uncomfortable because you're trans, remember:

youtube/google is getting much more aggressive about trying to shut down adblockers, part of which is them taking bullying legal action against a project called "invidious.io", which is an open source free frontend that can run in a browser or app and lets you watch youtube without ads and even all the google tracking analytics, sure would be a shame if lots more learned about such an option and started using it huh

i hate seeing people now making fun of those who care about privacy online. i've seen people saying things like "well they already have your data. what are companies going to do with it" and it's like, that's not the point. it's that companies /shouldn't/ be able to have my data and sell it. am i aware they probably already have my data? yes, absolutely. but i'm still going to try and keep them from monetizing it any further, why are we defending companies selling data they shouldn't have to begin with though?

adding this to the post because, 100%, just there's a fire doesn't mean you should pour gasoline on it

I have like ten different ad and/or tracking blockers on my PC and phone... just out of pure spite

Can link it? I wish to hop aboard that train.

@drunkenbartend

Is there any benefit to using multiple ad blockers at once? I honestly don't know, but I haven't seen a single ad on the internet in ages and I get to use this image:
