True freedom.

Very true but why does this jpeg look like the fever dream of a dying man

my parents trying to get ahold of me in 1998

nothing in the world makes me more evil than just being kind of annoyed

me when i'm in genuine agonising distress: i'm so sorry if i'm bothering you with my childish histrionics :/

me when i'm just in a bit of a bad mood: i hope hydrogen bombs fall on every living thing in the universe

Remember that "three items from the store to make the cashier most uncomfortable" meme? Apparently I accidentally found a winning combo tonight at the corner store, one of the usual clerks shot me a really weird look when I was checking out with these

I’m crying because when my dad was eighteen he was going to join the airforce and then the night before he had a dream that Jesus slapped him in the face with a gigantic fish and asked him what he was doing and he woke up and thought, “Jesus is right what am I doing?” And that’s why my dad did not join the military. 

Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms 

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.  As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

⁂

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.

have you considered it may not be entirely the fault of american education system but that some of you may be. stupid

Many such cases of “they never told us about X” when we studied “X” for a month straight every year for 13 years.

#some of you are just painfully uncurious#‘school never taught us about x!’#ok fair#but you have an internet connection#you more access to information than most people have had in all human history#and you just#never looked it up on your own?#that’s 100% on you

Correct tags are correct. At some point, you are an adult who has the resources at your fingertips to correct any deficit in your learning, be they the fault of the teacher or the fact that you spent history class carving Cool S into your desk, and your lack of knowledge becomes your responsibility.

I remember someone responding, “School never taught you about MPreg, ABO, and SasuNaru, and yet y’all managed to become experts about all of that.”

School taught you how to go to a library and look shit up. That was a thing they constantly made you do for just about anything.

Public school is to teach you how to read and count, understand a clock, do math, comprehend on some level what you are reading, and a very basic understanding of various topics important to current times and your location, along with how to put down in writing what you know and how to look up what you don’t. It also is supposed to teach you how to behave in a work environment.

Everything else is on you.

Also schools are different from each other, for every person that really didn’t learn about a thing, there is someone that did.
