nothingmore-thanapathy replied to your post: Okay, correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t FRC Top25 only counting teams that have released (extensive) robot photos/ect?
The rankings don’t really mean anything, it’s just mostly for fun.
Yeah, I know. I just tend to scouting-nerd out about stuff and the nerd bits of my brain start screaming for solid data. It’s cool to look at,...

Why are there fires in space in this book.
FIRES.
in SPACE.
There is no oxygen in space. so why, oh why, are there FIRES?!
What exactly is burning here? Please, oh author, inform me.
It is space. It is a vacuum. Even if a bunch of crap just got sucked off your busted-ass spaceship, pretty soon it’s going to be a vacuum again. Because space is a lot bigger than the inside of your little ship, so I don’t think your oxygen is...

who the hell designs prom dresses. I don’t understand.
it needs to have
1. a back edit: this may actually be optional. I think I actually meant it needs to not feel like it’s going to fall off if I move.
2. less than 20% of its surface covered in sequins/rhinestones/ect
3. a price that is not staggeringly expensive
and, maybe, possibly, 3. no ruffles.
but i’d accept...

This has been a really good day
Picnics are lovely, and shoreline is lovely, and oreos are lovely.
And boys can occasionally be lovely and get the fact that traditional relationship-y norms are okay, but not always the right thing, and be generally cool and not stuck in stupid high school nonsense.
So yeah, good day.

womenaresociety:
I may not be as theologically sophisticated as American bishops, but I had thought that Jesus talked more about helping the poor than about banning contraceptives.
The debates about pelvic politics over the last week sometimes had a patronizing tone, as if birth control amounted to a chivalrous handout to women of dubious morals. On the contrary, few areas have more...
woah. guys. boobs on my dash when my mom's looking...
not cool.
seriously though it wasn’t even like one rogue pair, it was like a compound thingy of boobs. many many boobs. you can’t pass that off as an accidental artsy thing that oh yeah, maybe might have boobs. these were intentional boobs. boobs with attitude.
these things are difficult to explain to my mother.

BRITISH EMPIRE: All right, fine, your stupid embargo worked. We won’t levy any more taxes-
AMERICAN COLONIES: Huzzah! Time to get drunk!
BRITISH EMPIRE: Except on tea.
AMERICAN COLONIES: What?
BRITISH EMPIRE: Get over it, it’s just tea. Seriously, where do you get this idea that you’re special and should never have to pay taxes? We hope that idea doesn’t go on to infect your political discourse centuries from now.
AMERICAN COLONIES: We’re not buying your stupid tea.
BRITISH EMPIRE: Are you being serious right now? What are you going to do, just stop drinking tea?
AMERICAN COLONIES: Yes. We’ll drink coffee.
BRITISH EMPIRE: Do you even know what that is?
AMERICAN COLONIES: No, but we’ve heard it’s good and we’re feeling surly.
BRITISH EMPIRE: Fine, whatever, we don’t even care what you do anymore.
BRITISH EAST INDIA COMPANY: Actually, we are pretty much bankrupt, so you need to make them drink the tea.
BRITISH EMPIRE: Oh, for—just drink the tea.
AMERICAN COLONIES: No.
BRITISH EMPIRE: Do it.
AMERICAN COLONIES: NO.
BRITISH EMPIRE: Drink it.
AMERICAN COLONIES: Fuck you.
BRITISH EMPIRE: Drink it or we’ll punch you in the face.
AMERICAN COLONIES: *Boston Tea Party*
BRITISH EMPIRE: What the hell?
AMERICAN COLONIES: We heard it was Indians.
BRITISH EMPIRE: That’s interesting, because we heard it was a bunch of colonists wearing paint and dressed in costumes that were remarkably similar to what a crowd of drunks who wanted to look like Indians would assemble if the only supplies they had were found in an alley behind a bar.
AMERICAN COLONIES: You get all types in Boston.
BRITISH EMPIRE: …*Coercive Acts*
AMERICAN COLONIES: Oh, it is ON.

“America isn’t Nazi Germany. And the secret police aren’t coming for ya. Hell,...”
– JON STEWART, on an assertion by a member of the Southern Baptist Convention — and other Christian leaders — that the government is undermining organized religion in the same way Nazis took over Germany, on The Daily Show. (via inothernews)
in other news, and entirely contrary to my last post, is there a polite way to ask “hey, are we enough of a thing that I should be getting you something for the socially mandated holiday tomorrow?”
so tomorrow is Valentines day. And I’m not very excited about this. Because I don’t like Valentine’s day.
Okay, don’t jump all over me with the “ah just hating on valentines day cause you can’t get boys blahhhh” stuff. I haven’t liked Valentine’s day through multiple years, multiple relationship statuses, everything.
I just don’t like...
