Violets are Red

Roses are Blue

Wait that was wrong

I gotta redo

No. No it won't. It will not get almost 10 times as many notes as my currently most noted post. I refuse. Also why have I already gotten a reblog that says this?? I currently have 5 notes on this post.

It's way more than 0.02% cause I'M NOT GETTING 10K, I'll get a maximum of 100 notes on this post.

Please I'm not ready to be world famous. Please no.

We’re at 300 notes now oh god

Investing at 350ish notes

Gonna be funny when it just suddenly stops gaining notes now and your reblog is one of the last ones

lmao 400 notes now

It's still just 400, okay? That's still not even close to 10k. It's not reaching 10k ever. I've had other posts reach over 400 and they still don't have 10k, so neither will this one.

sure thing buddy keep telling yourself that :3

YEah I will cause it's true

how is having 600 notes on this going?

I made this post like a day ago at this rate it's gonna be at 10k in like 20 days. Please no

depends how growth on this post is. if it's exponential growth, assuming at t = 0 there was 1 note, t = 1 is 1 day, solving 604 ^ t = 10,000 gives us t = 1.438.

10k is coming in less than half a day, if these calculations hold true.

I mean I'd assume if anything it would start to go more slowly the longer time passes and this post is probably competely dying before I reach 10k. At least I hope so...

Some roses are blue,

Some violets are red.

There are too many colors

That ought to be said.

The real world's complex

So let's let our love spread.

There are infinite hues

But too few in our head.

I love this lmao

woah that was fast

better blow this up then

You say investing at 700 notes, but it’s almost at 1500, how does that work??

get this to 10k

@non-tyrannical-usa @real-antonio-vivaldi

Please, this stopped gaining traction like 3 days ago, please let it stay that way, I don’t wanna have to wake up with 99+ notifications again, please God no

Hehehehe… welcome to your worst nightmare

If this post doesn’t eventually get over 10k I’m gonna eat my own hat!

You better start chewing cause the post has died out and it's not even close to 10k :D

Queuing this up like it’s nobody’s business.

Don’t you dare.

Too late.

What have I done?

It had to be done.

making stuff is one of the best parts of being alive

Why are streaming services these days all named shit like Fubi and Hehu and lala

like what do these words mean 😭

what the fuck is happening

I once wrote a 1500 word essay on something I'd forgotten to read in the 40 minutes before class. Including the time it took to read the thing I'd forgotten to read.

I got an A on that paper.

Writing is a skill. Skill is muscle. If you don't use a muscle, it atrophies. If you are a student and you are tempted to use genAI to cheese an assignment, I am begging you for your own sake to not do it.

This is not a moral stance about genAI (which is shit at what it's ostensibly for, and full of lies and evil, and fueled by art theft and burning rainforests, and there is no good reason to ever use it for anything; that's the moral reason for why you shouldn't use it), it is a purely pragmatic stance based on the fact that if you use it you will never learn the single most essential skill that is used in every single workplace.

You will never learn to bullshit.

And if you cannot bullshit, you will not understand when you are being fed bullshit by others.

For your own sake you must learn to do your own thinking, your own bullshitting, because our trashfire society runs on bullshit and for your own good you must become fluent in it, because very few people will bother to translate it for you. It was asinine in the late 90s, and it is asinine today, but it is the central truth of adult society: everything is bullshit, and you need to know what is going on beneath the bullshit, and you need to be able to bullshit back if necessary.

I know that the expectations being placed on you are ever-increasing, and I know that it does not seem rational to put effort into explaining the plot of a Charles Dickens novel to someone who has read the thing 50 times and will read 50 identical essays about it over the weekend. I know you are being handed ever-greater heaps of what is functionally mindless busywork because of an institutional obsession with metrics that don't actually measure learning in a useful way. High school was nightmarish in the 90s and I am fully aware that it has only gotten worse.

Nevertheless, you must try, if only for your own sake. Curiosity is your best hope, and dogged determination your best weapon. Learn, please, if only out of spite.

I was able to get an A on that paper because I was able to skim the reading, figure out what it was about, and bullshit for 1500 words in the space of 40 minutes.

Imagine what you can do if you learn to bullshit like I can bullshit.

For my senior year of AP English, I was assigned reading over Easter break. We were instructed to read The Old Man And The Sea, and save the rest of the short stories in the book for the first week back.

Unfortunately, what I heard was "read everything BUT The Old Man And The Sea."

Double unfortunately: the first day back was a test, on The Old Man And The Sea. Which I had read exactly zero words of. It was, notably, a short essay test. It wasn't multiple choice or fill in the blank. It was designed to require deliberate answers from scratch, entirely out of your own head, with nothing to go on BUT what was in your head.

And in the course of about 45 minutes, I was able to use the questions of the test itself to piece together a vague enough sense of how the story went to bullshit my way through other questions. I gave wide, thematic answers that were extremely light on details, since I did not know any of them, and did not even know this test would be happening until it was in front of me. An essay test for an AP-level English class.

I had a starting point of zero information, and an essay test about the thing I was supposed to have read.

I bullshitted my way to a B+ on it.

On a test I should have gotten a ZERO on.

It's been 16 years since I took that test.

I couldn't tell you a damn thing about The Old Man And The Sea.

But you better fucking believe I still know how to bullshit, and when someone is trying to bullshit me.

The power and utility of knowing how bullshit works CANNOT be overstated. It is one of the most important skills you can ever have.

My favorite part of this is the little “Yet I’m still failing” at the bottom of the screencap. It’s not yet occurred to you to change something you’re doing? Maybe try not using ChatGPT?

A quick update for all my fellow r/196 migrants about how things are going back in the motherland. A saga has unfolded:

It began with a basic hornypost, and a comment under said post:

So, the fatal BreadSlice was getting clowned on in the replies, until:

So yeah, the more things change the more they stay the same I guess.

The ghost of monster-fucker past?

That’s our boi

If you're getting asked questions about your disability and why you need an access thing, please don't fucking lie and tell them you have a more serious disability, just tell them it's none of their fucking business. Please, as someone with one of those serious and severe disabilities, I get enough weird shit said to me about it without yall contributing to it.

I see you have encountered your first gimmick blog, official Pokemon tumblr account. A gimmick blog is an account that does one very specific thing. The gimmick blog you have encountered is of the detector type. This means it reblogs random posts, and checks to see if it has a specific thing. It reblogs the post with an image, containing the thing the blog is detecting, with a check mark over it if it has the thing it is searching for, and an x or crossed out circle over it if it does not. This specific blog searches for Bronzong. This post does not have Bronzong, so the account replied with a crossed out image of it.

Will this appease the gimmick blog?

@bronzong-detector let’s find out

leave your laundry on the floor for them

okay it’s come to my attention that absolutely NONE OF YOU know ANYTHING about how cutie marks work. let me say this simply. a cutie mark isn’t a job being assigned, it’s a special TALENT OR SKILL that the pony enjoys. Most of the time it has a directly transferable job for that skill, like if you enjoy baking and are super good at it WOW! baker. If you are really good at writing and telling stories, author. However, there are some cutie marks that could go multiple ways.

twilight sparkle has exceptional magic ability, so she became a scholar, but she could really do anything that required a good magic skill. same with rainbow dash, her weather controlling job isn’t directly linked to her cutie mark, but it does fit the bill for the job.

i was posed the question of what would a murderer pony’s cutie mark be and wouldn’t everyone know. NO. if somehow murder were to be a special skill, the cutie mark might be something like a knife or a shovel. other ponies might just assume you’re good a cooking or gardening. now with cutie marks like apple jacks, their family has a ‘green thumb’ kind of deal so obviously the cutie mark would be hereditary.

so, the reason i made this post. walter white pony’s cutie mark would NOT be blue crystals. it would be a CHEMISTRY FLASK.

people have got to learn the difference between I didnt like it and It was bad

+ a secret, third thing

everything. cost money

stop this
