#TLDR: It’s 17

I’ll solve the problem here, but under the cut I’ll explain PEMDAS. Maybe too much. There’s probably so many words they’re not comprehensible anymore, sorry. I can make a video if anyone needs it! Though there’s already so many out there.

Anyway, the original problem!:

2+5(8-5)=

(The lack of anything on the other side of the equal sign means we are simplifying. We’ll remove it for the sake of simplicity, as equal signs usually signify other things:)

2+5(8-5)

2+5(3)

2+15

17

Hey, kids! Mr. Ferren here! And today I’m gonna be teaching you about a little thing called ✨PEMDAS✨! /lh

Gonna explain all the math around PEMDAS so anyone at any math level can (hopefully) understand. I’m trying to use an educational tone, but if I sound condescending at any point please let me know.

What I will be showing today, as that’s what’s shown in the original problem, is known as simplifying. Condensing a set of numbers without the inclusion of an equal sign. If we were using an equal sign, we’d be solving, usually for a variable like x. Though sometimes there’s other variables or we’re trying to prove the equality of two non-variable things, but that’s an explanation for another day.

Okay, so:

P - Parentheses

In writing, parenthesis are a way of separating text from others (like this!), but they have a similar use in math. If there is math inside parentheses, it’s a signal to do it first. Like this:

1+(5+9)

1+(14)

15

They can also be used to represent multiplication, such as in the original problem, like this:

5(8-5)

5(3)

15

E - Exponent

Assuming you have no parentheses math left or there was none to begin with, now to move on to the next one! The exponent is the tiny number to the top right of a number or variable. A variable is the letter you put in an equation to represent a number you don’t know.

Just to get you reacquainted with exponents, take 2^4 (the carrot (^) and number is another way to write an exponent when you don’t have access to those tiny numbers! here 2^4 represents 2⁴). An exponent is a shorter way to write multiplication problems, here we are saying to multiply 2 by itself 4 times. 2*2*2*2 (a star is another way to represent multiplication for any elementary school students that may be reading this for whatever reason. These all mean the same thing: 2×4, 2*4, 2•4, 2(4)). So to solve for 2⁴ (aka 2^4) we do this:

2⁴

2*2*2*2

4*2*2

8*2

16

But these steps can be skipped to just [1.] 2⁴ [2.] 16 when you’re more comfortable with exponents.

So, to apply exponents to PEMDAS:

5+2^3

5+8

13

M & D - Multiplication & Division

The math past this point is easy knowledge for most people, so I’m not gonna explain it, but if you need help just ask.

So, you’ve done all your parenthesis and exponents, or you never had any to begin with. Great! Now onto multiplication and/or division.

Let’s step right into it. Multiplication and division come before addition and subtraction. But multiplication actually doesn’t have any priority over division, despite coming first in the PEMDAS acronym. That’s why I put them in the same section here. Obviously they work different, but treat them the same on the mathematical hierarchy. If you are faced with both at ones, is where we employ the rule of reading left to right.

This whole time you’ve been reading these paragraphs left to right, right? Math works the same way.

First of all, just to get it out of the way, like multiplication division has multiple ways to represent it. You’re familiar with the division sign, ÷, but you can also use a / or write the numbers as a fraction (2÷5, 2/5, ⅖), and there are other ways too.

So here’s our problem:

2/6*3

(1/3)*3

1

Notice how I put parentheses in that weren’t originally there? You can do that to separate solved sections from unsolved sections, just so you don’t get your numbers mixed up. 1/3*3 would look a little confusing, and we want to minimize mistakes.

A & S - Addition & Subtraction

Last one!

Same case as last time, where addition and subtraction are the same in the hierarchy. Left to right rule.

4+3-5

7-5

2

Reread the problem above the cut for an example of applying PEMDAS!

NOW THE CORRECT ONE WHAT IS

the best way to put how i feel

[myobsession]

"Franca gazed at the lobotomized Psychiatrist for a few seconds before sighing.

“Sometimes, we’re still too naive. We might even think of ourselves as the protagonist.”

Lumian knew that “we” referred to the members of the Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society."

I feel like this is the main reason I really love the fact that Lumian is our protagonist in the second series. Every epoch was almost completely dominated by a trasmigrator and our last series revolved entirely around the thoughts and feelings of a lonely transmigrator. But in the second series, our main protagonist is a true native of the era.

He is someone who finds themselves deeply entrenched in the midst of secrets, gods, and transmigrators without having the background that any of these people have. He did change after meeting his transmigrated sister, but he grew up with the same morals and viewpoints as his fellow natives. He believes in the gods and is in awe of their powers and might. He is someone who can hold back his curiosity in matters because he grew up in an environment where knowing too much will literally kill/corrupt you. He thinks transmigrators are a bit silly and naive but also powerful and full of unheard knowledge. He's a normal guy of his era that got caught in a shitty situation but grits his teeth to keep moving forward. He is a boy who has been stomped down by fate numerous times but still retains the light of hope in his heart. And I think that was something really needed in this series.

howdy!! it's been a minute but i'm still around. fair warning-- i have been lurking the whole time and have about. 100+ posts drafted 😵‍ you'll be seeing these shortly, i'll try my best to space them out as i get around to tagging them

[lapdogchase]

i don't think not using spotify is an important piece of leftist praxis, to be clear, but i do think it's insane that people pay $11 a month for spotify premium because they think piracy is stealing from artists. like, if you listen to 50,000 minutes of music, that's $37.50 that's being given to the artists you listened to- being split between all the artists you listened to in the entire year. you're giving them 132 dollars so they can give a third of that to the dozens, hundreds, maybe thousands of artists you listened to that year. i don't think the few cents an artist won't get anymore if you unsubscribe really matter that much to the more popular artists, and starting in 2024 the less popular artists won't even get paid anyway. i don't think piracy is that much worse, especially if you send smaller artists a couple dollars on patreon or bandcamp or something. and again, i use spotify sometimes, i pirate it but still, i don't think it's a moral failing or anything. just that it's a little hypocritical when people act like piracy is so much worse. but that's just my two cents (which is what like, seven streams on spotify is worth).

[jisungshotfirst]

out of context yap but anyway. this is about squid game 2 having park sunghoon playing a trans woman

I couldn't see anyone on here talking about it at all nvm positively or negatively but idk I wanted to say shit anyway from my perspective. like sure get a trans actor when u can and when it's safe to! but also ... it's actually nice to have someone portray a trans person and not 'pass' like it's comforting. I don't 'pass' at all rly like with people I don't know I'm always going to be misgendered that's just how I exist atm coz trans healthcare here sucks but ANYWAY. the character has had some medical transitions but not all she needs and that's what she's in the games for so u Can't get someone fully post op and gorgeous coz it's like well if that's u pre-op wtf am I meant to do with my situation. and I frankly think people need practice looking at someone who looks like a man and use she/her pronouns and recognise them as a woman like plain and simple. and obvs vice versa. it takes pressure off of me as a trans person who's unable to pass atm. this is a nuanced area ofc and when a trans actor can play a trans character thats obviously ideal and theres more conversations to be had around the money probably not going back to the community. but i genuinely think this is useful practice... to separate ur perceptions of what trans people are supposed to look like in order for you to gender them correctly. like i can't control what i look like, and you'll probably see me and think girl, and this is practice for you to stop doing that. also pls watch the short film lipstick its a korean short film and the most beautiful piece of trans art to me personally

[ghoodles]

A sort of ramble about noir's age because i did some sort of research on some things and well

Yeah

So a theory about specifically 2009/SD!noir's age, and a hc about his one in itsv/2020 comics

So, i recently got Shattered Dimensions working on my wii and played through a bit of it

There are character bios on there which helps me grab a good bit of an idea on his age.

It just says that he's a highschool graduate and saving for college, so, immidiately, that puts us at 17 or above for the 2009 comics

However, i could also probably narrow it down to, well being 18 or 19, considering that the legal drinking age in the 1930s in specific states were different, because it was before The National Minimum Drinking Age Act was passed in 1984.

In New york, you had to be 18 to drink. So, when Felicia asks Peter about his age and he quips with the liquor license thing, it does sort of imply that he is younger than that. So, i'd say that the 2009 comics version of Noir is around 17-18.

However,

I do not believe this to be the case for the 2020 comics/ITSV noir.

Not only does he look older, but those two personalities are extremely different.

Whilst 2009!noir has that sort of i guess... spunky teen energy???? Idk

2020!noir is much more chilled out, which inclines me to believe that he is older. I'd give or take about 27 years old. He's older, 'wiser,' and albeit, calmer.

im such a midwestern farmboy krauser truther its unreal. you cannot look me in the eyes and tell me that man didn't grow up in a rural town on his families farm, caring for his animals and waking up at the crack of dawn. everything was good until it wasnt.

[crazyexdirkfriend]

very VERY controversial take but sometimes i see fans (in general, across fandoms) say things like "this sucks, x should hire me because i'd do it so much better" and a lot of the time they not only could not do it better (because they have no idea how art-as-a-career differs from fandom participation), but also x would never hire them anyway because they're an annoying person who just publicly insulted their hypothetical coworker's work, that was probably done for bad money on a crunch timeframe

4. Favourite historical era?

*sighing* guess I'm still 20th century bitches at heart for studying hmm. Right up to the early cold war,,, I'd say I'm more Europe Between Franz Ferdinand and Khrushchev? I keep coming back to the unparalleled terror and violence like a doomsday prophet i do. Keep coming back bc we are still reeling in many ways from the previous century, keep coming back because we are repeating the same mistakes even though they were committed close enough to the present that we should know better. Keep coming back to find loads ofblack comedy in the bleakest times bc there's nothing else you can do after all the fighting and warning and crying besides laughing.

For the Silly Goofies which is THE most important part of history actually, DEFINITELY Stalin-era Soviet and Early Modern - Modern Habsburg ((so like 1500-1700 Spain approximately, 1500-1914 approximately for HRE/Austria minus enlightenment. We unenlightened™ here that's why it's funny)). I did say black comedy.

Aesthetically I'm Rococo and then Baroque.

9. Favourite historical film?

You know this one. We all know this one. On the count of three. 1, 2, 3 tHE DEATH OF STALIN!!1!1!1!

17. What historical item would you like to own?

SIGH Philip II's Battle of St. Quentin armour bc of the historical significance of it being passed down from him to Charles II and the weight of a legacy and a romanticised one at that against a backdrop of the end of the line,,,,

But most importantly ofc bc i know i could fit RIGHT into it and id enjoy that.

genuinely so embarrassing to be a manlet

21. What is your favourite history-based game?

This is so sad I don't play games >:3 I once saw a Twilight Struggle set in my college history class shelf and really wanted to play it but never got round to doing that. Does DnD with my shitty Habsburg based oc count?

25. Who is the most overrated historical figure, in your opinion?

Depending who I'm talking to & therefore what is pissing me off bc there are SO many overrated people to me ((Fr*nz J*seph, Elizabeth I, HENRY VIII FOR HELL'S SAKE, Louis XIV kill me!!1!1! Actually KILL ME!!)) but since I have been in MULTIPLE classes where the Protestant Reformation pops up. And had MULTIPLE Christian Kids™ fawn over his dumptruck arse with no shame. It's Martin Luther. Had to see his stupid face in my partner's slides on our presentation of the 80 Years War like miss girl pls u can just mention the Counter-Reformation briefly you didnt have to go into all that he's not gonna kiss you. Had to listen to a classmate go off about him for 5 minutes RIGHT after we established he was an anti-Semite too. Nightmare so it is.

[antheiiaa]

wyll has literally fooled all the fandom that he's fine just like he fooled himself😭he needs therapy too

I’m currently doing the math on how much I would have to earn/work to afford a shitty $150,000 house vs how much I would have to earn/work to afford the average cost of a shitty 1 bedroom apartment in my county

Yearly gross for the house is $65,000

Yearly gross for the apartment is $63,000

all this tsitp talk is dreading up old feelings i thought i’d left behind lol what r ur thoughts on belly?

Woah woah woah. Twitter is shutting down in Brasil? I'm thankful for your mental health but what?

Yep.

TLDR: Elon fired everyone in the Brazilian offices of twitter but legally Twitter can't continue existing in Brazil WITHOUT a legal representative. So now our Federal Supreme Court subpoened him to apoint a new representative or the website is getting shut down in the country

The long version with the context about the fight:

It all started when the supreme court started to shut down in the country profiles of brazilian people who had commited crimes using the website (an example is Monark, a dude who literally used his profile to say we should give n*zis and racists unlimited freedom of speech [he fled to the US to escape prison btw]).

Elon caught wind of this and decided to threaten our constitution and said that he would get the profiles back on because he wouldn't accept a government restricting "freedom of speech" on his platform. The supreme court issued a statement that if he did that, he would face a fee everyday for every account reactivated. It was money so he didn't do that (or maybe turns out he couldn't do it anyway and he was just lying for his lil fanboys).

This was all back at the start of the year but suddenly almost two weeks ago it was reported he fired every single employee in the offices of brazil, including the legal representative.

Then tonight, around two hours ago the official profile of STF replied and tagged elon with the doc of the subpoena because since they didn't have a legal representative, they couldn't do it in the proper way. The subpoena says that Elon has 24 hours to appoint a new guy for the job or the social is getting shut down in brazilian territory.

So we have 3 options for whats gonna happen in the next 24 hours:

Alexandre de Moraes (The guy who Elon started a one-sided beef with) backs down and doesnt shut down the website (highly unlikely)

Elon backs down and appoints a new guy so he doesnt lose the 4th biggest public of his site

Twitter gets shut down until Elon's manchild's ego gives in

thats all <3

Edit:

This was Elon's reply to the tweet. YES he is pathetic like that

Edit 2: it's currently 17:38 brasilia time of 30/08 and Twitter is bound to get disconnected soon, the order has been given by Moraes. People who use a VPN to access Twitter will get fined 50k reais (almost 9k dollars).

Yesterday a note was posted lying about Brazil being a dictatorship and saying that one of the people being censored is a 16yr old girl. The truth is that it's a grown ass man that use his daughters account to promote attacks on delegates, ministers, judges and other politicians. They also call orders to ban n*zi accounts "illegal orders" (WHICH ARE VERY LEGAL UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF BRAZIL). They also say "we don't want every other country to have the freedom of speech laws the US has" meanwhile they've been trying to impose them in a sovereign state.

I would say what I want to say to Elon but unfortunately my mother taught me to keep those kinds of thoughts inside. Just know they're three letters <3

edit 3: twitter was officially unavailable on brazilian territory by the time it struck midnight of the 31st

Edit 4:

Translation: 🚨 NOW: Elon Musk is looking for executives to represent Twitter/X in Brazil, to negotiate the platform's RETURN in the country, reports Correio Braziliense.

he's going to do what cellbit said kkkmk he purposely let them suspend it, then after a few days he'll come out and be the savior of the brazilian people and say he only did it for us

Don't let elon fool you. He doesn't care and is probably only doing it because his investors are threatening him with money
