A lot of Christians read A Christmas Carol and gloss right over the "pay workers a living wage" message and take away "not being merry on Christmas is a cardinal sin" instead.
#And then they use this for antisemitism#If you don't understand why a lot of non xtians and former xtians hate Christmas#Think about all the stories where not being sufficiently happy on Christmas is the sole problem to be solved in 22 minutes#we have multiple words of negative connotation just for people who don't like christmas#Christmas#a christmas carol#Charles Dickens#Chuckie Dick#post o' mine

Little Jimothy is going on a "Dopamine Detox" and wants his 8th birthday party to reflect this: instead of the typical party snacks, he will instead have empty hotdog buns and empty ice cream cones for him and his 12 friends to snack on as the party progresses. It is important to him that the total number of snacks is a multiple of 13, as that will allow everyone in attendance to have an equal amount.
As he goes to the store, he discovers that ice cream cones are sold in packs of 12, and that the only brand of hot dog buns still available comes in packs of 7. Assuming that a pack of cones and a pack of hotdogs costs the exact same and that he wants to spend the minimum amount of money to buy a number of snacks that can be spread evenly between him and his friends, answer the following questions:
a. How many packs of 12 ice cream cones should Little Jimothy buy?
b. How many packs of 7 hot dog buns should Little Jimothy buy?
c. How many snacks does each person get?
#word problem#multiple parts#except they're all part of the same question but it's too ambiguous to actually say that#bonus post#this came to me in the shower#sorry. i don't know what terms are associated with this problem. the best i can do are these:#ratios#lowest common denominator#optimization

#ooc.#i'm not sure whether i should tag this as negative or not because i feel more neutral towards this#but this is a small reminder that there is no obligation to keep following while i'm in the middle of this weird rut#this level of writer's block has been excruciatingly depressing and has rid me of one of my favourite creative outlets#i have spent multiple hours struggling through singular paragraphs that i end up hating#and this is by no means due to a lack of confidence in my writing i know i am decentish#and at this point i would even settle for my own level of mediocre if it meant getting words onto the document but therein lies the problem#the jarring resistance my brain puts forth when i want to get even small replies done is abysmal#so please don't feel an obligation to stick around if you expect replies during this trying time for me#i'm not sure whether i should keep trying to force it or move into an actual hiatus at this point#negative /

Poll has to focus to not talk at mach speed
Tequilla has to focus to not talk super slowly
neither of them are bothered by the other's vocal quirks because they always compensate for the other
#I'm absolutely projecting rn#Growing up with my adhd making me hyperverbal I used to talk so fast that literally noone could understand me#I had to teach myself how to measure my voice and keep it at an even pace since the adults couldn't explain it to me in a way i understood#nowadays I don't have to think about it too much but sometimes my adderall makes that come back#anyways both Poll and TQ have volume control issues on either side of the spectrum#also its not exactly that TQ talks too slow its just his speech problems. he's got a stutter and drags out words sometimes#especially if they have multiple syllables. He can get stuck on them sometimes#i don't know the name for it but a friend in high school had it and it's based off of her#i don't quite know how to properly put it into writing tho so I don't know if it's apparent lol#okay I'm done now#not a poll#poll the egg#Tequilla the egg#captain's egg OCs#did you know that I love these kids

Things I think chaggie would do if they were New Yorkers:
— Charlie really enjoys subway performances and only carries around cash to give tips. Vaggie didn’t really care for them until she saw how happy it made Charlie. She also has cash now and started to genuinely enjoy it.
— Vaggie explains to Charlie that not every corner store is a bodega, but every bodega is a corner store. Charlie pretends that she doesn’t understand because she likes how passionately Vaggie will re-explain. They do this a couple times every year.
— Keekee was a street cat that Charlie planned to only foster, but could not bring herself to get Keekee adopted. She doesn’t foster cats very often anymore. Vaggie fosters injured pigeons sometimes, or she brings them to the Wild Bird Fund (they know her there).
— Everyone thinks Charlie is a transplant because of how fascinated she is with everything. Everyone thinks Vaggie is a NYC native because of how exasperated she is with everything. Charlie was born and raised in Lower Manhattan and Vaggie was born and raised in California. They never correct anyone’s assumptions.
#random meaningless words on your screen#New Yorker chaggie because ny is hell on earth so it’s not much of a reimagining#shitpisting hazbin hotel#also no they didn’t meet in a gay bar they probably met on the subway Charlie was probably staring at her#Vaggie probably thought they had a problem and confronted her#and Charlie loudly exclaims she’s bisexual and blubbers on about how taking Vaggie on a date somewhere#and Vaggie—who probably has only taken the subway a handful of times at this point and each time has been BIZARRE—quietly accepts…#… and begs Charlie to shut the fuck up because people are staring#they both get off at grand central station and just walk around for hours#it’s incredibly awkward and sweet and they’re both dorks#*exhale* sometimes I get the itching to do a NYerAU for multiple fandoms but I always end up hating it so here’s this list dump#chaggie brainrot hours

So the thing is, Madame d'Aulnoy was a genuinely good writer, who has written some very good fairy tales. Especially her later ones. Seriously very good stories.
But.
They are all so terribly long.
Which wouldn't be a problem, but she never uses scene breaks. It's just 60 pages worth of uninterrupted fairy tale. Which... Yeah. Is A BIT hard to read.
#from the like four Madame de Murat stories that I have read she had the same problem#so I'm assuming it was more of a common trend with all of the conteuses#guess scene breaks weren't really a thing back then huh#and I really don't want to sound like the too many words on the page girl#I get that it's old literature and shouldn't cater to me in specific#but damn these stories are hard to read and it is almost exclusively because of their length#and the lack of breaks it would not be a problem if at least sometimes it would STOP#instead of going over the biographies of multiple generations of royals in one very long flow#and I swear that her stories keep getting longer!#classic literature#fairy tales#madame d'aulnoy

Just unlocked the Empyreum housing district, and while one part of me is rp-walking around enjoying the vibes and looking at peoples gardens, another part of me is monkey-style smacking at my keyboard to search up 'ffxiv get rich quick schemes'
#20 *million* gil for a medium plot. I'm gonna pass out. Not as bad as it coukd be but still more money than ive made in my entire time#playing this game so far. Just like irl having a multi-story home is a pipedream for my demographic 😔#I decided a few months ago that I wanted to get an apartment in the Empyreum once I unlocked it since it was permanent and I liked the vibe#of the building's exterior. FC house is in Shirogane and I'm getting much closer to Stormblood now so getting a room there is becoming more#reasonable. Idk how much security that has though. And the other day someone I met back in december hung out with me for a few hours and#then offered to a *buy me a house*. Just straight-up. No repayment or anything. Just so she'd have a new neighbour I assume?? She's very#big on the 'pay it forward' mindset and that was her only condition. Pretty much just 'be nice to people and help out new players where you#can' which. I was already going to do that?? Wild. That specific plot we were looking at is So Nice but is also in Shirogane which I cant#bid in yet. Different ward to the FC house but idk how I feel about things just yet. Pretty sure when we last spoke I'd ended up agreeing t#the deal pretty much but we havent exactly seen eachother since and im still a little unsure about accepting So Much Money from someone#+ living near them as an antisocial autistic person and the problems that brings. + Having potentially multiple residences in the same#district. + Even having a housing plot at all since it requires a permanent financial commitment. Even more so when its not my gil that goe#to waste if the house gets demolished because I got burnt out or couldnt afford to keep paying a subscription and log in on time.#Lots of uncertainties but housing also seems like something I'd *really* like to participate in and getting the full experience of having a#outdoor space too would be really nice. Original plan was Apartment in Empyreum and then a Medium House potentially somewhere else to get#the most out of the commitment. A Large would be too expensive and ambitious and too much space to work with honestly but a Medium has#just enough extra space and structure to feel worthwhile yknow?#idk im just rambling at this point but I've got decisions to make. And I should probably make them *soon* while the offer of#a free goddamn house is on the table. Dont wanna rush through things but it feels like I need to speed up from the glacial pace ive been#playing through this game at to unlock Shirogane even if just so I can visit the FC house more often (too cheap to ever teleport anywhere o#even pay for the airship tbh ✌️)#ghostprince posts#ffxiv#videogames#Did I just completely forget to type that the housing plot on offer is Shirogane is a small? Thats why I started talking about plot sizes.#And the talk of buying a Medium plot was very big on the '*if* I ever commit to permanent subscription to allow for housing'#I am. so tired right now. words are just slipping out my ears when i blink

tragedy strikes: post that makes an excellent point is worded in a way that gives you ulcers, 100 injured 50 dead
#''fighting anti-intellectualism shouldn't stop at math'' yes! an understanding of math and statistics is absolutely vital and necessary!#''controversial take but math really isn't that hard'' *stares in dyscalculia* *stares in multiple learning disorders*#no shade but my entire childhood was spent feeling stupid because I didn't understand math at all and I still struggle to grasp a lot of it#like yes I hate hate the ''gays can't do math / girlmath'' type shit and I've always been advocating against a reactionary hatred for math#again. not trying to shit on the post. I agreed with everything else. but it's my blog and I like to complain about petty shit so.#idk like I think there's definitely a conversation to be had about the way math is often taught in an inaccessible standardized way#taught in a way that doesn't recognize its importance or scientific and often artistic beauty#I didn't understand math until it was taught to me by someone who genuinely loved math and wanted students to understand it#side note: doing math is rlly fun when you actually understand it. I love the satisfaction of solving a math problem#I highly recommend the organic chemistry tutor and khan academy on youtube. they helped a lot with all my math courses for my biology minor#gabeposting#rant-ish(?)#ok to rb for any situation there are so many posts I want to rb but they have just one word or sentence that puts me off

As an assignment it’s pretty fucked up to write a single simple sentence as instruction and then get upset that people didn’t do exactly what you wanted despite not putting what you want in the instructions.
It’s also pretty strange to want for some reason a comparison to Marxism when 1. It’s not in the instructions 2. Marxism almost doesn’t come up in the assigned reading and 3. Points will be taken off for citing outside sources than the assigned ones.
Contrast with Marxism but don’t actually quote Carl Marx or cite any sources related to Marxism. Also be less rhetorical when discussing politics.
#shelti rambles#I mean dude you gave me a 90 and I have no evidence you actually hand out 100s#why would I put effort into *imagining* what you what when I can follow the bare bones instructions and meet the word requirement#there’s also evidence in the video lectures that this has been a problem for multiple years with students not understanding what he wants#so change the instructions#I know he copy-pasted everything from previous years#because the final exam is titled with the wrong date#assigned on the correct date but titled wrong#this guy clearly does not care#so why the hell should I?

I'm like, this 👌 close to posting the Mist War headcanon stuff, but I'm angrily gnawing at a couple things that need to make sense first >:C
#trying to decide if one thing is canon or just a game mechanic and I've been at this for HOURS#another case of “multiple conflicting good options to solve this problem”#also uhhh it's way over 4k words now aha#Skye says stuff

yall: thought crimes arent real!! everyone is valid!! kill the cop in your head!!
also yall: if you have any negative opinions or feelings after interacting with someone - even if you dont tell them - and you act on those feelings in any way, shape, or form you have "sociopathic tendencies" and you're a bad person and you're a bigot and i hate you and you should kys
#no rbs im just venting#this is not vague bc im making up a guy this is vague bc it happens at least once a day atp#literally saw someone say in the tag of a post (Which is also annoying me for other reasons) that people getting icked out is sociopathic#do you hear yourselves? liek seriously?? you guys are fucking tar pits jfc#no wonder ur fucking lonely!!! you drive everyone away with fake ass inclusivity and jump to be the most judgemental person in the room the#moment the target is acceptable enough!!#ive seen ppl recently say that being abused multiple times “makes [them] think you're the problem and you deserved what happened”#all of u showing ur asses after the US election blaming minorities for the structural oppressions we experience#the fucking “if you think this way then YOURE the bigot” behaviors to trans women#the fucking “if you find fat people attractive and dont self flaggelate you're a fat fetishist” mentality#my wife fucking made a post recently where she said smthn along the lines of "there is nuance to everything your scripts of what behaviors#make “Bad People” will always fail you“ (in more words) and ppl genuinely came to her saying ”i thnk you have an anxiety disorder“#and like we laughed about that but its like. you guys seriously try to flatten everything to Good and Bad with 0 nuance and its exhausting.#ths is exhausting. its exhausting!!!!!

in my quest to maybe move back to providence after 20 years, im looking at jobs down there and damn i think i might be better off financially pivoting to carpentry/construction work for a while
#messages from the ouija board#the biggest two hurdles there are 1) gender. on multiple levels. but maybe i could get my dad to put in a good word for me w an old contact#bc he seems to know every tradesman in rhode island somehow. a#but like. every manual labor job ive ever had other than assisting my dad. gender has become a Problem. and itll probably be worse now#and then 2) id have to get a vehicle and all the bells and whistles w that#though idk maybe i could ask my coworker marty about how to get into stage carpentry#bc hes trans and seems to be doing well in it#ive always enjoyed manual labor stuff like i love painting i love demo work i loved repairing tombstones i love building shit#but the few times ive actually been hired by people who arent family its been a real struggle to be taken seriously#in one case i got harassed (over being a 'woman') into leaving#and in another it just made the guys on the crew increasingly uncomfortable 'having a girl around' and when the current job wrapped up#i just got ghosted. no telling me where the next job was. no returning my calls. nothing.#and im scared of that happening again. but also. the money seems way better than museum work wrt what im qualified for
