So, what did I do?
Taking on the notes from this point, I'd decided to try changing my approach.
On the bus drive home, I'd tried considering a more Tarantula-like appearance for my Butterspi, and let me tell you, sketching in a moving vehicle is something you should never do.
As seen previously, the body of the spider still contains its head and tush, but I'd elimated the neck and reconsidered the placement of the limbs.
(I'm aware this graph is satirical, it's just the best example I could find.
Plus, buttfingers is hilarious).
Of course, it's not entirely the same anatomy, but you can see the similarities.
I also had no idea that Tarantulas had sort of extra grabbers on their faces, likely for grabbing and trapping their food, as they don't build webs like typical spiders do.
As for the wings, I'd tried piecing together how they were going to look as well, because I wanted a design that was simple yet effective, since I was going to be replicating it using wire (which we will see very soon).
So that landed me to the design we see above.
And as you may notice, there is 5 support-like rods stretching from the base of the wing to near the edges, and that's because I initially had the idea to craft those out of wire, but as I've decided the wing will be made using tracing paper (for the slight transparency and ability to draw onto it), I'd decided those details will just be done using the Posca pens.

Dark Angel, another Dunkel-damned Rocker Adventure for Shadowrun (1st/2nd Edition), this time with way too many NPCs
Dramatis Personae
The middle portion of this adventure is like kicking open a rotten log in the woods – a whole lotta vermin are going to come out. We have, throughout, the following persons, who may or may not be antagonistic to the runners:
Julie and The Genies. Not a band, but the owner of Club Chiaroscuro and her two troll bouncers. Under the protection/thumb of yakuza oyabun Shiro Usaka.
So… do they share the magic lamp? Does Julie come to visit?
The Fallen Heroes, which is a band.
And a go-gang.
A go-band-gang.
Dark Angel’s go-band-gang.
They are antagonistic toward Icelady because they believe she sold out Dark Angel and have evidence that Xanadu Studios secretly paid her off.
“In Xanadu! did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure dome decree!” *16-hour drum solo*
Dynamo Blue, the music producer from Xanadu Studios who currently owns and is releasing Dark Angel’s music. Xanadu is a yakuza front for Kat Akmura.
The Lab Rats, which is another go-band-gang, and provide muscle for Dynamo Blue and Xanadu.
Lieutenant Dolchev, Lone Star Detective who is only a little corrupt, but knows that Dark Angel isn’t really dead.
Lizard Pete and The Golden Gators, another gang (but not a band this time) who run the BTL-haven Heaven that Dark Angel was supposed to have died in, which was arranged by…
Hack and Slash, another pair of trolls, who disguised a corpse to resemble Dark Angel (Jim Crull) by…
Edward Crull, MCT wagemage, owing fealty to Kat Akmura and an overall bag of drek.
Edward has not one, but two different other gangs in his employ:
Hot Papas (human)
Smash ‘n’ Grabber (trolls)
And then there’s…
Sarah Crull, Edward’s mail-order bride. So, you remember how, in Native American Nations, Vol. 2, where the Tsimshian Nation sold themselves out to Mitsuhama? She’s Haida, and totally willing to betray her husband if the runners play their cards right.
We’re not done! Here’s the yakuza!
Kat Akmura. Younger yakuza oyabun currently holding Dark Angel and in league with Edward Crull.
Caesar’s Scythers. Wait! ANOTHER GANG? This gang is controlled by…
The shaman Akimoto, in league with Kat Akmura, along with…
Oni-do. A society of troll ninjas under Kat Akmura. Can this adventure get more awesome?
Shiro Usaka. Younger yakuza oyabun holding Julie (of Club Chiaroscuro) as thrall.
Homatsu Jinjiro. Elder yakuza oyabun and nominally over Kat and Shiro. The runners must gain “permission” from either Jinjiro or Usaka to confront/kill Kat Akmura.
THIS IS WAY TOO MANY FRAGGING NAMES TO SCAN
Thirty-six. There are thirty-six NPCs (people and gangs), which is the highest to date for any Shadowrun adventure.
Yes, I made a graph.
Hope y’all remembered the difference between median and mean.

The graph above presents the homicide rates in Australia over the years.
I keep it saved because it illustrates how forced gun buyback did nothing to lower the homicide rate.
The sharp drop in homicides happens in years 2003-2005 which gun grabbers like to say happened due to gun buyback... Except the buyback itself happened in 1996-1997.
Thus the homicide rates remained unchanged for 5-6 years afterwards. People just got more creative with tools they used - I didn't save that statistic but the use of knives and blunt objects for homicide reached an all time high.
Side note - I don't know how I'd feel about being beaten to death with a blunt object rather than being shot dead on the spot.
Incidentally the drop of 2003-2005? It aligns with the improvement in economic situation in Australia.
Turns out people are less likely to get violent and kill others when their lives are better/more stable. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT!?
Still. From the time I've actually looked up this graph I am not foolish enough to believe it'll convince anyone. From the original post I've used it in the gun grabber actually argued that the buyback had desired effect of "less people being killed with a gun" - the fact that the same number of people were still being killed by other means was not important.
They don't want to lower homicide rates. They just want your guns.
https://www.abqjournal.com/opinion/opinion-governor-it-s-time-to-ban-assault-weapons-in-new-mexico/article_1c5e3c94-b19a-11ee-a0b8-bfceaa002b91.html? | Archive
>Every day, Americans wake up to the news of another community torn apart by gun violence.
Yes, and? 100 million+ guns. 365 incidents a year is relatively small.
And most of those aren’t even with legal guns.
America’s gun violence crisis has become so rampant that we are virtually numb to the deadly reality that more than 120 Americans are shot and killed every day in our country.
Most of which are suicides. Which rarely “tear communities apart”.
Families from Farmington to Las Cruces feel the anxiety and fear of being gunned down at shopping malls and movie theaters, of dropping their children off at school.
Good news! The trip is actually much more likely to kill kids than guns!
We saw it in Farmington — a teenager legally purchased an AR-15 in late 2022 and bought an additional three magazines just days before he went on a shooting spree.
That’s a very careful way to avoid saying “a legal adult bought a gun he was legally entitled to buy and murdered people”. Which he might’ve done anyway, no matter how long the wait was.
And I don’t think it’s a good idea to strip rights from millions of people in the hopes it’ll do some good.
Three women were brutally slaughtered by an automatic weapon designed for warfare and whose only purpose is to kill multiple people in a short amount of time.
Legal automatic weapons are highly limited, strictly controlled, and federally tracked.
Rifles are less commonly used for murders than knives, blunt objects, or bare hands.
AR15s are very commonly used for varmint control and feral hog control.
They’re also being phased out by the actual military because they aren’t good enough at killing people.
If you >can’t even describe the gun correctly<, I gotta wonder how you expect to make laws against it.

Sports activities Betting Champ Review : By Someone That Provides Profited for the Previous 3 Years
judi online John Morrison brings about a bet program for sports (Sports Gambling Champ) that's and so incredibly profitable people query it is validity. Is that for true? Is HE OR SHE legitimate? Will it be a attention-grabber? Who on earth is Ruben Morrison in any case?
judi online
John Morrison is authentic sporting fanatic with a Ph. Deb. in statistics coming from Cornell University. Over the earlier twenty years he has assessed or utilised pretty significantly every imaginable approach in addition to handicapping service through the actual athletics wagering market. And then with '04 after a great deal of review and info had been analyzed they conceived Sports Bets Samsung champ c3300k. Thus, yes your dog is the genuine person.
Despite the particular fact that the net page is filled together with hype-like vocabulary this program he's created has already recently been tested by 1000s of customers who are very magnificent with their approval as well as happy for the strategies and everyday tipping e-mail. It does seem to be he / she has found a approach to predict winners within the NBA (National Hockey Association) and MLB (Major League Baseball) using 97% success and using several further methods into 00% win rate. This actually is to some extent due for you to the fact he won't suggest gambling on something that progresses by you actually.
Instead, adhere to his ideas and simply chance about the events which meet the criteria of winners in his / her method. Having said this, his record having FOOTBALL (National Football League) wagering isn't as solid. Presently there he's got close to 63% success rate. Inside the year of 2007, based upon his achievements he revealed this plan online readership.
Precisely just what is Athletics Betting Samsung champ? It is a technique designed by John Morrison to identify winners at important NBA and MLB game titles that has a rate of achievement connected with 97%. He is definitely mindful never to expose details of the process on-line, but is good along with promises of accomplishment. Consumers proclaim when you stick to the system you will end up being profitable each and every one of your personal bets and very shortly end up being inside front of the sport along with your profits.
In truth I commenced with merely placing proposition wagers of $12 for every activity and also have built this way up over the course associated with the last few decades only reaching various ranges of any bank spin. After I acquired into a particular level, I a fairly easy money management approach to help typically the Sports Betting Champ c3300k Method and looked in order to gain $50 for every single bet. Together with 70 strange bets put over often the NBA season which $3500, over 4 several years $14, 000 if you simply stuck at $50 for every bet. Now roll throughout the actual MLB and NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE along with you've got some sort of year long variety design system. But that has been regarding course my personal knowledge, you need to review your personal circumstances and naturally, future income is not certain. Sort, Bosh and LeBron may possibly not gel together this coming year for instance.
Remember, with no way take risk a lot more than you can find the money for to get rid of. Gambling may come to be a demon in your own life should you permit it. Keep your reins with your emotions in addition to investment and you can view a substantial increase within your betting revenue by simply betting on fewer activities. It is about getting selective and not running after benefits, win when statistically it truly is in your favor.
Sports Bet Champ is actually popular since it is actually consequently easy. You don't have got to fight with graphs as well as data or maybe monitor accidental injuries. Every night a lot of guess is due; you acquire a communication from Bob Morrison together with winning ideas. Which results in you a new chance to place your current bets and relax as well as better, watch the crew get and then acquire your cash. This system performed the work.
You find there are a few 2460 games inside a time and next the Sports Wagering Champion recommendations you'd be gambling on only about 85 video game titles in the year. That isn't a challenge, due to the fact those will be the particular 'safe bet` games which address the factors within typically the system. You could probably drop more cash challenging additional ones just by estimating or using home cultivated strategies.
The guarantee will be one factor I often look for. If presently there is non-e, I may not buy the product or service. But with the more perception that will math-o-phobes and also non-sports individuals will most likely encounter some understanding shape, I recommend individuals to be able to make use of their very very own good wisdom before plunking funds for Sporting activities Gambling Champ. Lots of program packages say how effortless it is to grasp their own strategies yet few of the folks who produced the plans have the supplemental capacity to create easy for you to follow guidelines for their particular buyers. It is just a different skill. And famously supply a substantial funds back assure so a person can buy in often the reassurance that you can generally obtain a complete return.
And so regardless in the event that you are producing ridiculous guesses at your table bets today or simply fooling with your own personal statistics regarding entertainment, you then have a good probability of enhancing earnings by means of simply understanding how to help employ Activities Betting Samsung champ c3300k. John Morrison says in the event you're NOT producing success with it tell the dog as well as will give an individual your entire cash backside.

How to Write a Composition
Composing an article regularly is by all accounts a feared assignment among understudies. Regardless of whether the article is for a grant, a class, or perhaps a challenge, numerous understudies regularly discover the undertaking overpowering. While a paper is a huge venture, there are numerous means an understudy can bring that will help separate the errand into sensible parts. Following this procedure is the least demanding approach to draft an effective exposition, whatever its motivation may be.
As indicated by Kathy Livingston's Guide to Writing a Basic Essay, there are seven stages to composing an effective article:
1. Pick a theme.
You may have your theme doled out, or you might be without given rule to compose regarding your preferred matter. On the off chance that you are given the theme, you should consider the sort of paper that you need to deliver. Would it be a good idea for it to be a general diagram of the subject or a particular examination? Thin your concentration if vital.
In the event that you have not been doled out a point, you have somewhat more work to do. In any case, this open door likewise gives you the favorable position to pick a subject that is fascinating or applicable to you. To begin with, characterize your motivation. Is your exposition to educate or convince?
When you have decided the reason, you should do some examination on themes that you find interesting. Consider your life. Would could it be that intrigues you? Scribble these subjects down.
At last, assess your choices. In the event that you will probably teach, pick a subject that you have officially examined. On the off chance that you will likely induce, pick a subject that you are enthusiastic about. Whatever the mission of the paper, ensure that you are keen on your subject.
2. Set up a framework or graph of your thoughts.
So as to compose an effective paper, you should arrange your contemplations. By taking what's as of now in your mind and putting it to paper, you can see associations and connections between thoughts all the more plainly. This structure fills in as an establishment for your paper. Use either a layout or a graph to write down your thoughts and arrange them.
To make a chart, compose your theme amidst your page. Attract three to five lines fanning out from this theme and record your primary thoughts at the finishes of these lines. Draw more lines off these principle thoughts and incorporate any contemplations you may have on these thoughts.
In the event that you like to make a diagram, compose your subject at the highest point of the page. From that point, start to list your fundamental thoughts, leaving space under every one. In this space, make a point to list other littler thoughts that identify with every fundamental thought. Doing this will enable you to see associations and will assist you with writing an increasingly composed exposition.
3. Compose your theory explanation.
Since you have picked a theme and arranged your thoughts into important classifications, you should make a proposal articulation. Your theory explanation tells the peruser the purpose of your article. Take a gander at your framework or outline. What are the principle thoughts?
Your proposition explanation will have two sections. The initial segment expresses the subject, and the second part expresses the purpose of the paper. For example, on the off chance that you were expounding on Bill Clinton and his effect on the United States, a suitable proposal explanation would be, "Bill Clinton has affected the eventual fate of our nation through his two successive terms as United States President."
Another case of a proposition proclamation is this one for the "Triumphant Characteristics" Scholarship paper: "Amid my secondary school vocation, I have shown a few of the "Triumphant Characteristics," including Communication Skills, Leadership Skills and Organization Skills, through my inclusion in Student Government, National Honor Society, and low maintenance work at Macy's Department Store."
4. Compose the body.
The body of your paper contends, clarifies or portrays your subject. Every primary thought that you wrote in your chart or layout will turn into a different segment inside the body of your exposition.
Each body passage will have a similar essential structure. Start by keeping in touch with one of your principle thoughts as the early on sentence. Next, compose every one of your supporting thoughts in sentence group, yet leave three or four lines in the middle of each point to return and give definite guides to back up your position. Fill in these spaces with relative data that will help interface littler thoughts together.
5. Compose the presentation.
Since you have built up your postulation and the general body of your exposition, you should compose a presentation. The presentation ought to pull in the peruser's consideration and demonstrate the focal point of your article.
Start with a consideration grabber. You can utilize stunning data, exchange, a story, a statement, or a straightforward synopsis of your theme. Whichever edge you pick, ensure that it connects to your proposal articulation, which will be incorporated as the last sentence of your presentation.
6. Compose the end.
The end brings conclusion of the point and wholes up your general thoughts while giving a last viewpoint on your theme. Your decision should comprise of three to five in number sentences. Basically survey your central matters and give fortification of your postulation.
7. Include the completing contacts.
In the wake of composing your decision, you may feel that you have finished your paper. Off-base. Before you think about this a completed work, you should focus on all the little subtleties.
Check the request of your passages. Your most grounded focuses ought to be the first and last sections inside the body, with the others falling in the center. Additionally, ensure that your passage request bodes well. On the off chance that your article is depicting a procedure, for example, how to make an extraordinary chocolate cake, ensure that your passages fall in the right request.
Audit the guidelines for your exposition, if relevant. Numerous educators and grant frames pursue distinctive arrangements, and you should twofold check directions to guarantee that your article is in the ideal configuration.
At long last, audit what you have composed. Rehash your paper and verify whether it bodes well. Ensure that sentence stream is smooth and add expressions to help interface contemplations or thoughts. Check your article for syntax and spelling botches.
Congrats! You have quite recently composed an extraordinary article.

Phineas was very ready to tell Pip that they needed to jazz this up, that they needed more than bullet points, they needed multimedia and audio and visuals and attention grabbers, but Pip had already embedded TikToks in the deck?
Hadn't he disparaged TikTok as a a pitching tool just a few short weeks ago at their last meeting?
Weeeeeeeell then. Color Phineas surprised. And maybe a little proud.
"This is actually in pretty good shape," Phineas said, impressed. "I like the TikTok stuff. I can probably throw some graphs together about audience segmentation and stuff, too. And I can totally take on the profitability slide."
He reached over to click back through the slides, taking them in. Any irritation at Pip disappeared, at least momentarily. Because this was happening. He could see them presenting this thing, he could fill in the blanks with his imagination. Yeah, maybe they could still jazz it up a little, but it looked good.

World building
Sharing an old project based on an Ice Aged Greece to help focus the concepts here.
Believe it or not coloration is the greatest imagination grabber of all. It focuses the scene to provide the setting. Shape comes second. Lumpy, rounded, square, flat, twisted, gnarled, fuzzy, oval, squat, sloped, angular, and circular all give distinctive impressions of how something looks. How many shapes can you think of that describe rocks, tree limbs, cave mouths, faces and body builds. Animals and plants all have distinctive colors and features of shape that should be combined when you describe this element to give a breathtaking four dimensional feeling kind of setting to promote any written scene.
Here is a worksheet that is helpful to help you figure out your world, Example used is Ice Age Greece. Ignore the Futuristic tags since I devised those for my own worlds. This worksheet was designed for space travel obviously. However this will be helpful in explaining how your world is a character that all other characters must interact with at all times whether they realize it or not. In some cases I will also add notes for you to consider before you fill out that section.
Generalized Outline- World Building Basics: Science Fiction
Astronomical/geological Section:

Maps: Get Graph Paper and Build Your Own Maps or Buy Some D&d Type Maps and Then Do Mental Alterations or Chop and Pastes onto Larger Sheets to Create a Map to Help You See Where Your Characters Are Going to and Coming From! (No Matter What Genre You Are Writing it helps you to see the distances the characters cross so they don’t do 100 miles in a week at one time, then two hundred miles in one week somewhere else. Pace and Time Laws Do Not Change, and Therefore You Will Have to Give Space and Time References to Build a Good Story:

Are Wild Animals Carnivores, Omnivores, or Herbivores, or Some of Each Type? What Is The Food Chain Like? Ex: Herbivores Need Plants in Large Numbers to Eat So The Carnivores Can Eat Them And The Omnivores Eat Both Meat And Plants Aka Like Humans Do:
Are Any of These Wild Life Animals Intelligent Like Your Dominating Species Is Intelligent?

Do Clothing, Personal Items Such as Jewelry or Fashions Vary Based Upon Class And Wealth?
Do Hairstyles And Similar Things Vary by Class And What Types Are There? (Long or Short Hair? Beards or Mustaches Etc Go Here)
Genealogy: Build Bloodline Maps For Visual Bloodline Traits And Such For Future Reference, Even If Not Mentioned in The Story Per Say, They Can Be Great Ways to Add Tension Based Upon Race And Other Background Hints You Don’t Go Into in Depth And They Make For Very Interesting Characters!
Religion(s): )Major Notes) An example: Greece never followed the standard proto religious format of Gods created the world and Universe. They always felt the Universe created the Gods both male and female as mediators between Universe and man, plants, and animals. It was one of the very first cultures to embrace pantheons or multiple Gods belief system. That is the reason it still influences out modern world to this day. Instead of fatalistic driven human sacrifice to appease the Gods, these guys actively sought out more than one God to get the decision they wanted long before the classic era Mythology tomes of their ancient religion was passed into a physical written format. That needs to be shown in action to some extent. Have these people doing rudimentary rituals reminiscent of much later Classic era Ancient Greece religious ceremonies. Read classic Greek Mythology. The titans of earth and sky are the well known distinction that sets ancient Greece apart from the rest of the world.
This provides a very strong tool for making the story line zing if you explore the mythology for the oldest recorded roots, and downgrade the best known Grecian ancient rituals significantly into a more generic shamanic norm. Give clues to the later evolution into Greek specific rituals through your prototype religion which tickles memories of school classes that touched upon the classic era Greek in many schools. Then readers will really stick with your story because they will be desperately trying to figure out where the main is living.)
One God or Many? Name Some And Denote Genders Implied:
Spiritual Philosophies:
Beliefs About Birth, Death, And Afterlife?:
Does Culture Condone Burial, Cremation, or Something Else?:
Why?:
Who Is in Charge of Places of Worship?:
Does This Place Have Magic Practices And If So How Does That Affect The World on a Planetary Wide Basis as Well as Locally?
How Does Religion in General Impact The World?
Will it Have Relevance in The Plot Line of The Story? Or Will it Simply Be a Low Key Element That Helps Define Character Behaviors in Story Line?:
Do Different Races Have Different Gods?
Does Technology And Religion Co-exist Peacefully or Are There Strong Conflicts Between The Two Factions?
(*myths from Religions Alive or Defunct/ History / and Politics Are Always Relevant to the Shaping of a Character’s Behavior and Actions!)
Architecture: Describe the houses and buildings with some interior details so we can see where everything is in relation to living quarters and/or communal get together areas.
EDUCATION SECTION
What Levels of Education Exist on This Planet or in a Specific Area? Give List of Educational Expected Forms Such as Home School to High School and College If Possible.
For my world Education system, who trains under which hall (This Is The Term For Schools Based Upon Highly Specific Technology, Medicine, Textiles, Political, Police, Computers or Space Travel in My Sci-fi Series Which Means Trained to become a Journeyman Level For The Particular Trade...

Working with a PDF document can be significantly easier and more convenient that working with an original document created in a program such as Microsoft Word.
If you’re working in the legal profession, and you need to exchange documents with clients or other lawyers, a PDF provides several advantages. For example, for a digital document to be admissible in court, that document needs to be in a format that cannot be altered without leaving a digital record of what changes were made.
The human resources department of any company provides prospective and current employees with a variety of documents, forms, and other paperwork. Additionally, a business can create brochures, training manuals or even invoices and forward a PDF file. While the original source document may have been created in Microsoft Word, it’s far more efficient to send copies as a PDF file. This eliminates compatibility issues that may arise due to different versions of Word, missing fonts or different operating systems, such as Mac or Windows, or iOS and Android.
Here’s five reasons why you should distribute PDF documents rather than an original.
Retain formatting. You may be using special fonts and formatting.
Platform agnostic. PDF can be read on any device and operating system, including mobile and tablets.
Security. You may want people to only read your document, and not change the content of your PDF. Plus, you can easily password-protect a PDF document.
Multiple versions of software. People receiving your document may not have the latest version of Microsoft Word, which means it’s possible the document can’t be accessed. This isn’t an issue when using PDF.
Free PDF readers. There’s a wide-variety of free PDF readers available for every operating system and platform.
How to Create a PDF on Mac
Open the document
Select File > Print
Choose the PDF popup menu and select “Save as PDF”
Choose a name and location for the PDF file. Enter the information you want in the Title, Author, Subject, and Keywords fields.

How do you display the content of a PDF in all browsers without running into any compatibility issues? You can simply embed the PDF on your website, or you can convert the PDF to HTML. While the latter may not produce the cleanest result, you can customize the HTML.
For instance, if you want to convert a brochure that’s in PDF format into a website, but you don’t have strong design or development skills, converting your PDF to HTML might be the quickest solution.
We recommend using the Adobe Acrobat application for PDF to HTML conversion. In addition to flexibility and functionality, you will get the best results when you work with the app that created the PDF.

Select Create PDF, Web Page, and then enter the website URL that you want to convert to PDF.

tinder
i am very proud of my social media presence, it’s how i show people the growth in my dancing, funny relatable anecdotes, my own personal growth, and pictures of me literally killing the game so that everyone knows how hot i’ve become. and i try to appear unapologetic, but i’m an attention grabber what can i say? i love it. i love hearing that people like reading my blog, my tweets, and my instragram posts. i like hearing people say that they feel like they can relate to me and that they think of me as a funny person because i publicly humiliate myself on a daily basis on social media.
however, social media presence aside; i cannot for the life of me get the hang of the dating app Tinder. for those of you in healthy, happy relationships, tinder is an app that lets you view singles in your area that you could be hanging out with through very basic profiles with a max of six pictures, a 500 word bio, and the luck of the swipe. basically, you can choose who you want to have a free meal and movie with, without having the dating algorithm that most dating sites use. tinder is also for hooking up with random strangers because you swiped right when you were a few drinks in. it can be fun when you’re harmlessly flirting and getting compliments like, “wow you have super blue eyes” or “sit on my face”. (really that is one of the first things that some one has sent me… not even a “hey, how is your day?”). but when it comes down to it, when you actually do meet this person in real life and you sit across from them in a coffee shop or restaurant, you realize that you’re sitting across a person who has the words, “looking for someone to adventure with; hugs, drugs, and pugs only,” in their tinder bio. and then you get so disgusted with yourself that you end up ignoring them the whole date and being as passive aggressive as possible to wade off any touching or the impression that you’re really interested in anything other than the free drinks and food you’re getting. it’s a roller coaster really.
all jokes aside, why are we so interested in tinder? is it because we are all secretly narcissists and need the attention of some random guy (or girl) who clearly took hours deciding their images and witty bio? is it because the feelings of loneliness when we are single are literally the worst because when you’re halfway through a nine season tv series and you look at your reflection in the dark screen you realize how upsettingly single you are? or is it because we just want something to make ourselves feel accomplished and appreciated? before you assume that i’m just shitposting and am unhappy about the outcomes of tinder dates gone wrong, i do have some statistics to back me up.
so according to bustle.com; 80% of Tinder users are actually looking for a long- term relationship. so that semi- forgettable looking guy that you for sure swiped left on because he was so plain looking and his bio read, “looking for a real thing, not just a hook-up,” is actually looking for the love of his life. the other 20% of users are looking for a one night stand, or as they put it gently, “not looking for something serious,”. understandable. quick hook-ups are a very real thing, but sometime’s it’s still weird hooking up with some random dude who will probably either get to attached or end up ghosting you right after you hook up. the stigma that Tinder is simply a speed hook-up app is statistically wrong, but it’s still gross when i have to swipe through bio after bio saying, “looking for something causal,” “let’s get high/ drunk and have a good time,”. it’s also concerning when i see “looking for something real on here; if you’re not into this swipe left.” really, the bios are just a block on the guy who i’m looking at.
there are over 90 million people who are currently using Tinder to “improve” their dating life. however, according to mic network inc, 62% of all location based dating apps (in general not even Tinder here) are men. MEN ARE TAKING OVER TINDER LADIES!!! THEY LITERALLY OUTNUMBER US 2 TO 1. the article goes on to say that TInder’s design of swiping is a lot like a cognitive game. and since the human mind (especially them male brain) is reward driven, it explains the new found pleasure of treating future relationships like a game and the competitive nature of swiping. and here we are complaining that the world is full of games and we will never find the loves of our lives because they play too much. and then we swear off men and walk our dogs and drink bone dry cappuccinos and write sassy blog posts about how shitty online dating is. (or is that just me right now?) research has shown that the amount of time men spend on a Tinder session is 7.5 minutes. and women swipe for 8.5 minutes. doesn’t seem that important. but swiping means increasing your chances of matching a person. so while it takes men a shorter time to swipe, they’ll usually like more profiles, increasing their odds of matching and receiving a date, whereas women have 14% chances of swiping a “like” because they don’t go into the reward part of the chase. it is a objective game. the objective being however many people match with you and actually message you. the actual endgame of dates is smaller than matches because by the time your ego is boosted the voice in your head is telling you to move on. so you go back to your 7 or 8 minute long swiping session.
Tinder is the ultimate ego booster. not going to lie, the first time i started using Tinder, i was excited to have the male attention again. it’s fun. getting compliments and being asked what i was majoring in in college and then being told that what i wanted to do was impressive really made me feel like they really valued me. then i would be snapped back to the reality that they were on here messaging other girls the same thing, or sexting them. i had no idea who this guy really was or what he wanted or if he really was interested in me as a person or just as a random hookup. whenever i raised questions about this to my friends they would gently respond, “it’s a hook-up app; they want one thing”. which is honestly true. everyone likes attention, everyone wants to feel special and appreciated. even the douchiest frat boy will agree with me here; when an attractive person tells you that you’re attractive and smart and funny and try to get to know you, it feels really good. and then you walk around thinking you’re the shit.
but really, it’s part of the game. you say things to get a reaction and to get the thing you want, whether it’s a date or a hook-up. it’s all a game. and that’s really disappointing.
i’m a romantic. i like the whole learning about another person and creating a relationship with them at the rate that we are comfortable exploring at. i like the mystery of learning whether or not they like chocolate, their favorite movies, their music taste, and why they are choosing to do what they’re majoring in. i enjoy being the one person that is discovering this. i enjoy being in a relationship based off a growing liking of each other. it’s easier that way and i think that it’s more encouraging to fall in love and have a heathy relationship. also, i like feeling special. i like having the attention on me, feeling like i am the only person that they are focused on in that moment. which is why i suck at dating.
tinder defeats the romance of learning about a person to learn. the conversations go from casual to sexually driven in five minutes or the plans of a date are rushed because both people are literally so starved of actually attention they’ll graph at anything. it’s all a a game. and it’s why i suck at dating. i can’t change the conversation from “what’s your favorite coffee ground?” to something really disgusting. it’s too fast for me! i can’t keep up!
so now that i’m done slamming tinder; i’ll explain the reason behind this post so that my friends who do use tinder don’t get mad at me and tell me i’m just upset because my matches suck and i go into the dates wanting something magical to happen. (i love romance people, i spend my days watching more rom coms than i do doing anything productive).
this post was to deglorifiy the app. it’s actually miserable. you’re more single than ever, or you’re greasy if you’re going on tinder to find a side dish when you’re in a relationship (like you have a person, appreciate them regardless if they’re giving you sex. have the decency to treat them like you love them OR just break up with them so that you’re not hurting a person who loves you because you’re too selfish to appreciate what they have given you). you’ve stooped to the level of “i need an ego boost because i can’t give it to myself”. i say, fuck that. go look in the mirror. you’re hot as hell. you are smart as hell. you are deserving of so much more than some person on tinder telling you you’re hot because they want to get a butt picture or have a hook-up. yeah, being single sucks and you feel wildly pathetic when you have to reconfigure your life because you’re so used to being in a relationship. but is having a tinder really going to make it seem like you’ve moved on? is it going to make them want you back? probably not. it’ll feel good those first few swipes. every swipe will feel like a middle finger to your ex, but after about 8 minutes of swiping you’ll realize how boring this is because you’re really only swiping left and you become even more disgusted with yourself and your list of bachelors. it’s an exhausting cycle.
my advice; delete the app. it’s a game for many of the millennials that use it, and you deserve better than a game. delete the app and read the book you really wanted to read. or start the show that has been sitting in your queue for weeks. learn a different language. go to the movies by yourself and treat yourself to some popcorn and snacks. go hang out with friends and work on their friendships. you’ll forget about the app and that you’re single. in fact, that’s the best way to make it seem like you’ve moved on. move on with grace, but also with some great self- worth. you deserve so much more than a swipe because you slaved for hours to get that beautiful selfie. you deserve so much more than some guy who is solely in the app for the ego boost. but also if this is your thing and you feel great, keep the app. i applaud you for your perseverance and strength to deal with the occasionally greasy assholes whose opening line is “wanna sit on my face and get high?”. i really applaud you for that. you’re doing amazing either way sweetie.

[ General required / recommended things ] — meet deadlines —acknowledge all sources of information and ideas in an approved academic manner — start early!! — plan out when to research & when to write, leaving extra time in case of any previously unforeseen problems — this goes w/ the last point: make your own deadlines for the small stuff that doesn’t have a deadline set by your advisor / dp coordinator — have a backup topic / issue and solution incase: the first is rejected by your advisor, there are not enough primary sources on the first, or the you can’t seem to be able to properly communicate your solution for the first issue you chose — pick something you are interested in but never got around to actually learning about, that way you are willingly doing the research instead of trudging through the essay — keep a spare document in google drive (we’ll explain why you should use it in a sec) / folder in your favorites bar with all your sources; make this list as you go along with your research rather than try to compose a list at the end — use google drive! you can easily share stuff with peers and your advisor (for them to read over) & it compiles all of your documents into one place! plus, there’s an auto save feature so your document is saved as you go, aka: one less thing to worry about !! — make friends w/ your advisor, or at least get on their good side. it will be much easier to go to them if you have a problem later on if you do this — don’t be afraid to hit up your school or local library in search of some tangible sources — make an outline / template / skeleton w/ all of your research before you start writing your first official draft
[Title ] — Should be concise — Makes the topic of your essay very clear — Try to make it as short as you can — under 18-20 words is a good rule to follow (this make seem like a lot, but when you’re summarizing the topic of a paper this long, that many words may be necessary)
[ Abstract ] — This! is! not! an! introduction! but, rather, a sort of guideline for what your paper covers & what is being investigated — Should include: your research question; the scope of the investigation; the conclusion of the ee; the two areas of study you’ve chosen & how they are connected to your study (not the complete analysis of how, just a brief thing); & the countries you’ve chosen — This should go right after ! your title page — Should be between around 200-300 words (the max word count is 300 and while there’s no definitive min word count, you’ll probably need about 200 to get your points across
[ Table of contents / Contents page ] — Placed at the beginning of the essay — This lists every single heading, sub-heading, sub-sub-heading, ect. that you put in your paper — Everything should have a page number attached to it
[ Introduction ] — In here you should introduce your: thesis; research question; your two areas of study; & the countries you’ve chosen to look at (at least these things, please feel free to add more !) — Start with an attention grabber and not your question
[ Body ] — Act as if your reader knows nothing about your topic (because, if you did a good enough job of coming up with a topic, they probably won’t) — BUT remember: analysis, analysis, analysis!! you should have more analysis than anything tbh — Always follow up quotes with substation and claims for why that person / law / etc is for or against your issue
[ Conclusion ] — This is it, your big time to Reflect ! — Talk about any questions that arose when you created your knowledge question and the answers to that question — Also mention if your research & writing your paper made you want to do anything about the issue (for instance, I wrote about human trafficking, so I talked about how my research made me want to get involved with some of the organizations to help out victims of the issue) — Be sure to loop back in all the stuff from the intro, just in different words — This is the place to definitively answer your question — try to answer it in no more than one or two sentences.
[ Illustrations ] — Like text, if it’s not value added to your paper, don’t add it — These are not required, but can go a long way in helping your argument ! — Any images / illustrations / graphs / etc. should relate directly to the text where they’re located — Make sure to explain their purpose for being there and for existing (like, if it’s a graph, explain why you included it and why it was made)
[ References / Citations ] — Goes at the end of your paper — This is like any other citations page you’ve written — be sure to include ANY sources that you used (and don’t add in ones you didn’t use just to appear like you did more research than you did, this should be self-evident, but still)
[ The Viva Voce ] — This will occur once you’ve turned in the final copy of your Extended Essay — It is basically a presentation of and interview about your essay — Should take no longer than 15-20 minutes — Is the time to show just how much you’ve accomplished, as well as any difficulties you had while writing your paper and what you learned overall from the experience
