When you swear very little, a well-placed "fuck" can have disproportionate effect. I've encountered this personally - when I was younger I rarely swore and so always shocked folks when I did - and in PG-13 movies where they are generally allowed a single swear word.

TVTropes calls this "Precision F-Strike", although it used to be called a "Strategic F-Bomb", an inaccurate term as it should properly be called a "Tactical F-Bomb" due to the shepherding of resources it requires to have the optimal effect on the conversation.

Which raises the obvious and important question: if we have descriptions for tactical f-bomb usage, what are the operational and strategic levels? Does it count as strategy if you've developed doctrine for the tactical level? That is, that you will keep your fucks in reserve until they can be used with maximum effect? I think that is still doctrine for the tactical level, though.

Presumably, strategic F-bombing doesn't work, but why, and what is it? And what are Fuck-logistics?

In my one day of owning a tumblr I have come to learn one thing. Literally just say whatever you want, there is no method to this madness. So with that being said

Ahem

Balls

Thank you for your time.

Last night, in my dream, I was shot by some guy during the apocalypse after Lady Gaga's party. I was a bit mad at him when I woke up. But thanks to that, today I was able to date Thomas Thorne in a new dream. He's a ghost, so I couldn't do it if I hadn't died.

Conclusion: sometimes something bad that happens to us leads to something good. The world seems to be leading us somewhere, and we don't understand it.

*super deep posts relating humans to the universe and how we’re gods in this posts perspective and all our trauma turned us into good people and love is always the answer*

compared to

*frustrated post about how society takes advantage of trauma and disabilities and life isn’t about deep enlightenment but doing your best and we just really need to treat everyone like a person*

compared to

*dreamy posts about how cool it is that we exist in such an interesting world and everything is so intricate and detailed and we’ll never fully understand anything but that’s okay because life is about experiencing not winning*

compared to

*level headed posts about how everything falls apart or dies at some point and poster was severely abused or hurt and they’ll never fully recover but they’ve learned that they don’t need to be any certain way to love and be loved and it’s important to allow yourself to be fucked up and appreciate things for what they are instead of dwelling on social expectations and reality does include simple goodness as well as pain*

Are there any other historical figures whose names actually became synonymous with “king” in multiple languages?  The two I know of are:

Julius Caesar: Caesar/Kaiser/Tsar  (Latin/German/Russian)

Charlemagne: Korol/Kral/корол (Polish/South Slavic (and Turkish)/East Slavic)

Are there any others people know about?

I'm trying to figure out a job pitch for myself, and I'm running into trouble describing something I'm good at. If anyone has thoughts on these ramblings, I would greatly appreciate it.

Apologies for sounding like I'm boasting. Since ultimately this'll be a case of me overstating my case to a boss or prospective company, I need to slightly overstate my case here:

The idea is that I look at practical problems like a physicist, so I do want to dig into the numbers and basic assumptions of a problem. However, when I try to get my boss to understand that, no, you actually do want me to dig into the theoretical basis for a problem, they imagine me doing, like, useless quantum field theory or whatever.

Many engineering-adjacent projects that insist that they have everything sorted out and actually don't need any "science" approach to it are incorrect. But it's really hard to get recognition for something if the group doesn't really see the value in it.

A lot of times people/companies will spend a lot of time and money measuring something, but due to limitations in their equipment or approach end up measuring their equipment or some other thing that is not what they actually care about

I need a word/phrase for this

It isn't quite "reliable metrics"

"Scientific approach to make sure assumptions are on a sound footing"?

My colleagues have also often spent forever running experiments to come up with a basic compensatory mechanism for a problem that they don't understand, but I can generally find a sound basis for.

Help. I keep running into this stupid problem. I had phrasing worked out a while ago, and somehow deleted that document, which makes me very sad.

What is the antonym of both overkill and underkill? (Or overestimate and underestimate, etc). I've started using "levelkill" because "correctkill" sounds bad, and "aimkill" is underdramatic

Eat Clean

[minimalist-quotes]

You deserve a healthy love with someone who hears you, sees you, understands you, appreciates you, supports you, and loves you. Someone who is patient, communicates clearly, and creates a calm safe space to heal, grow, and bloom together. A love you don't have to heal from.
