did anyone else get a weird thrill as a kid from correctly imitating Normal Kid Things

like I would drink a Coca Cola (hating every sensory moment) and feel excited about participating in a Normal activity. I listened to 20 second samples of Avril Lavigne songs at Barnes and Noble and think, “oh yes, this is what normal American children do, look at me, I’m doing it too”

8 year old me: [eats a slice of pizza]

8 year old me: “Wow. I’m doing it. I’m really doing it. I bet I seem just like a Normal Kid. I bet this looks natural, like I do it every day without even thinking about it. If those people see me eating this pizza they will think, ‘Wow, what a regular child! Just like the ones on TV!’”

Frankly I still do this, to some extent--back in 2019 I went out with a friend after work and sat there like “Wow, I am in a city, drinking wine at a bistro with a friend from work, having an engaging conversation about our dating lives. This is what Normal Adults do. Look at me, a Normal Adult! Like from TV!”

EVERY TIME SOMEONE BRINGS UP THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA I GET SO ANGRY.

but why

Because it got burned. All of that knowledge, lost forever.

The library was destroyed over 1000’s of years ago. The library consisted of thousands of scrolls and books about mathematics, engineering, physiology, geography, blueprints, medicine, plays, & important scriptures. Thinkers from all over the Mediterranean used to come to Alexandria to study.Most of the major work of civilization up until that point was lost. If the library still survived till this day, society may have been more advanced and we would sure know more about the ancient world.

That graphic grinds my gears every time I see it

This… Isn’t correct. Biden proposed a $715b budget, an increase from $704b. That’s literally just inflation. He’s keeping the budget flat. The $753b top line number includes foreign aid. Source.

Meanwhile, the budget includes the following:

  • A 41% increase in the Department of Education, most of which would find high poverty schools, the largest increase to Title I schools ever
  • 23% boost to Health and Human Services including nearly $9b for the CDC
  • $69 billion for affordable housing, a 15% increase
  • $14b across agencies for every agency to address climate change in their purview
  • I can’t find the numbers but a massive increase to the IRS budget so they can audit large tax evading corporations
  • This is a total 16% boost to domestic spending and barely a 1.5% boost to defense.

Y'all misinformation and manipulation isn’t just limited to the right. I’m not saying this is a great budget and defense should be cut but like. This isn’t a significant increase.

Please get your news from somewhere other than Twitter and Tumblr and please do your own research on things

Another article about how the proposal wants to bump things like environmental justice, clean energy, health equity, and more.

college is catered towards the able bodied and able minded. school applauds people who can stay up all night, skip meals, and work endlessly. that kind of extreme contribution is expected. why are disabled people being squeezed out of academic institutions? why should I feel inferior because of some arbitrary and ridiculous standard?

The undying truth.

Not to mention, every college campus Ive ever been on is MADE of stairs and hills.

I tried to talk to one of my college professors about my ADHD once and he literally stopped me and said if I couldn’t handle it I shouldn’t be there

Read the book Academic Ableism on this subject. It’s an excellent read and I genuinely think about it all the time still even though I read it a couple years ago.

It’s amazing how many ADHD people I know whose friends and family are just like “It’s like they have no clue that this Big Bad Consequence will happen if they don’t do this thing! I keep trying to tell them but it never sinks in!” and when I talk to the person themselves they’re like, “I can’t do the thing they want me to do, so here are my plans for surviving the Big Bad Consequence.”

I think that a lot of us with ADHD have so much experience failing “simple” tasks that we just get numb to it. Failure is so normal it’s practically inevitable. Success doesn’t feel possible, so why worry about that chance we’re “throwing away” if it was never going to work for us anyway?

(And of course our senses of what’s acceptable, of what we should demand for ourselves, have often been ground into absolute dust. Of course I’m going to fail the test/flunk out of school/lose my job/get evicted; of course I should meekly accept this as my lot in life and not ask for any help in “cleaning up my own mess.” We’re almost never taught to question authority and demand better treatment that understands our disabilities.)

Non-ADHD people tend not to get: A lot of the time it’s not our understanding of cause and effect that’s totally broken. It’s our sense that we are competent people capable of shaping better lives for ourselves, and that we deserve support and understanding.

even with those four numbers there are countless possible combinations good luck with figuring out which one is the right one you punk

*straightens calculator*

It’s pretty likely that it’s a four digit number, and as there are four digits chosen there, that means that there cannot be any repetition. This mean that there are:

n!/(n-4)! possible orders. As ‘n’ is 4 (number of digits available). 4!/0! which becomes 4x3x2x1/1 which simplifies to 24. That means that there are 24 possible combinations of codes. This would take you about two or three minutes to input all possible codes.

Unless an alarm goes off if you don’t get it right in 3 tries

*straightens calculator again*

Kick the fucking door in

well ‘technically’ the code is most likley 1970. statistically, a majority of people, when told to choose a 4 digit code will choose their birth year. and this key pad is obviously a few years old to put it nicely, thats most likley it. 

some sherlock holmes shit just went down over here

No, no, no. Don’t base your deductions of psychology. Let’s talk chemistry. When you first press a button, there’s more of the natural oils on your skin, and therefore it wears down the numbers on the keys faster. Obviously 0 is the first one, then. Try 0791 first.

Sherlock out.

woah.

it got better

and this is why the sherlock fandom could either rule the world or end it….

Close, but not quite, I think. People will almost always choose a number they can remember. What’s memorable about 0791? Try 0719 - a birthday, 19th of July. That is more likely.

Those deductions are great and all, but unnecessary.

The light is green.

The door is already open.

And that’s why we have a John Watson.

THE POST OF LEGENDS HAS RESURFACED ON MY DASH

I’VE ONLY EVER SEEN THIS IN SCREENSHOTS OMG

On your dash? I dig for gold like this,,, by looking at my mutual pages.

I’ve only seen this on Pinterest!

*gasp* THE SACRED TEXTS!

-*has never seen this post*-

-*reblogs anyways*-

THIS IS THE BEST POST EVER!!!! I’ve only seen screenshots on Pinterest and to have this n my dash is soooo fucking amazing!!!!! Going off the oils in the body theory I think it would actually be 0179, as y’all can tell the 0 is non existent and the next number to be non existent is 1 and the 7 doesn’t have as much of the paint that the number 9 still has. Then again that’s just my theory
