MOTHERFUCKING LIFE LESSONS FROM YOURS TRULY

alexandara — Sat, 18 May 2013 15:33:00 +0300

- Disposing of a body is fairly easy, as long as you’re not squeamish.

- Body language is just as, or more important than words

- It is far more useful to say ‘I made a mistake, I’ll try to do better’ than to say ‘I’m sorry’

- If you fuck something up, try to fix it

- If you can’t fix it, make it look like you tried

- The fastest way to get chores done is to think of them like favors you’re doing for someone you love. Do the dishes so your loved one doesn’t have to.

-Alternatively, Consider doing things today as a favor to your future self, who is under a lot of strain and really fucking wishes you had just done the goddamn laundry.

- Always return something borrowed in the same or better condition than when you got it

-Failure is good, as long as you learn from your mistakes, and evolve to avoid the same failure in the future.

- Gas and Booze must always be replaced in equal or greater amounts than what you took

- You don’t have to replace food freely given, but if you’re going to help cook, you better help buy the supplies.

- ‘You suck’ and ‘No offense, but…’ should be used in a playful manner.

- If you’re going to do something crazy, go all-out. Forget embarrassment and just leap for it.

- Don’t be afraid to do crazy things. Society’s normal is fucking boring, and crazy things are easier than they seem.

- Embrace passion and stubbornness. Those traits get stuff done.

- The crumbly texture of real taco meat is made from cow cheek muscles.

- Being able to provide food for your loved ones is a badge of honor. Cooking skills are important.

- Feel free to disagree with someone’s opinion.

-Free speech does not mean freedom from consequences of what they’ve said.

-There are wonderful people with stupid ideas, and hateful people with brilliant ideas.

- People change. This is good. It is also very frightening, but trust me, it’ll be alright.

- Life is a nature hike. If you whine and wait eagerly for the end, you’ll miss the entire point of walking.

-If you’re lost, ask for help.

- If you get the chance to do something that terrifies you, do it.

- Compliment people for things you actually admire about them. If you notice they have great teeth, tell them, no matter how awkward you feel about it.

- Don’t assume that other people know how you feel. Most relationship problems are born from misunderstandings and assumptions.

-However, there are some people who actually are poisonous, and spread their misery, hate and anger. Be aware of this.

- The best way to drain a body of blood is to hang them upside down and slit their throat while they’re still alive. Gravity and a still-beating heart will do the rest.

- The most important thing in a relationship is showing that you appreciate your partner - This usually makes them feel great and they appreciate you in return. A huge loop of happiness.

- Find a food that makes you mouthgasm. Consume regularly.

-Do silly things for the hell of it.

-Learn to dance. This is important. You don’t have to be a master of tango, but pick up a style and figure out the basics. Having control over your body and being able to deliberately express emotions through body language are closely entwined.

- If someone makes you feel like you’re worthless, cut them out of your life as quickly and completely as you can.

- A hitman can be hired on the black market for ~20k.

- The anticipation of something bad is often worse than the actual event.

- Not always, though

- If you want someone to pay attention to what you’re saying, challenge their dominance. Make eye contact, stand straight, hands clasped behind you and shoulders back. Enunciate. Act like they should be deferring to you.

- The fastest way to make someone ignore you is to act and speak like your opinion isn’t important.

- Be confident in the way you present yourself, and people will assume you know what you’re doing.

- Savor your food. Eat food worth savoring.

- When in a fight, try to run away first, then dodge, then go for the soft tissue and nerves.

- Don’t fight for dominance. Dominance is achieved through words and body language.

-If it escalates to physical violence, get out of there. If you can’t get out of there, incapacitate with severe pain and try to run again. If pain does not allow an escape route, assume you are under deadly threat and respond with lethal force.

-Take a self defense class, don’t get a black belt. Learning how to react while in danger is far more useful than learning how to fight in a competition or show.

- Smaller, Slighter people - Aikido is your friend.

-Learn your local weapons laws. Take advantage of them.

-Practice random acts of kindness. Smiling, compliments, picking up something that was dropped - They’re small, but they do positively impact people’s lives.

- Don’t watch news channels, you’ll only get depressed.

- Knowing what’s going on in the world is important - That’s what the internet is for.

- Just because you made a stupid decision, doesn’t mean you are stupid. It probably felt like a good idea at the time. Now you know better.

- If you deliberately do a stupid thing, knowing it’s stupid, you deserve the consequences.

- Spiders are helpful to the environment. If they are peaceful, move them outside. If they are aggressive, sucks to be them. Apply boot liberally.

- Physical demonstrations of love and appreciation are important.

- Words of appreciation and love are important

- Set ridiculous goals, then work out some smaller goals that act as stepping stones to reach it.

-Thank anyone who helps you.

- Thank anyone who makes you feel good about yourself

- Chickens CAN run around without heads. Make sure to sever the neck, close to the body. This applies to all fowl.

- There is no one in this world exactly like you. You have changed this universe by existing. You have impacted whether someone has lived or died. You, personally, have changed the fate of humanity, by being born.

- If you’re happy, show it.

My aunt met someone at her store who worked on the set of The Avengers and he told her about how RDJ and Tom Hiddleston were always pranking each other on set and how Robert and Tom were doing a scene together and Robert couldn’t stay still in his Iron Man suit because he was feeling really uncomfortable so they had to take a break and during break Tom walked up to Robert and said, “It’s called itching powder”, took a sip of his water, and walked away.

This is the kind of shit that just really gets to me and pisses me off. How can you support the gay and lesbian community but then not us? It’s not that difficult to go educate yourself on bisexuality and what it means, and it is really not that difficult to understand. This is not some crazy kinky thing that people choose to do. We’re not some crazy attention whores who are confused and don’t know what we want. Are there some people out there who are confused? Sure. Are there some annoying immature girls out there who just want attention? Sure. Are there bisexual people out there who are promiscuous and jump from one to the other constantly? There are. But that doesn’t give anyone the right to generalize and stereotype all bisexuals as one. You are pegging an entire community of people as something bad, and something not to be taken seriously or even considered “real”, based upon the few who give us a bad reputation.

Generalizing entire communities of people is wrong. Don’t sit there and think you know what kind of person I am because you once witnessed a couple 13 year old girls that claimed to be bi and made out with one another at a party. Those aren’t the faces of bisexuality and that kind of behavior certainly does not represent me or what it means to be bisexual. This is a STEREOTYPE. And it’s WRONG and should NEVER be used as some kind of evidence against why you do not support or accept an entire group/community of people.

Just admit that you are a close-minded and ignorant bigot.

This needs more notes.

And people get offended when I don’t consider myself part of the queer community. :\

This actually made me more angry than all those stupid homophopics, because really? HOW FUCKING DIFFICULT IT CAN BE TO UNDERSTAND THAT SOME PEOPLE FIND BOTH(?) GENDERS ATTRACTIVE????? Because actually it is the most normal thing, like google Kinsey scale and stop being morons.

How the fuck does Bill Nye expect this to happen? What do you want to do, force women to enroll in science courses, regardless of whether or not they want to do it? Just for the sake of having “enough” women? Why the fuck do these fractions matter so much? It’s not like people are holding guns to our head and threatening to kill us if we become interested in science.

Maybe, just maybe, a lot of us DON’T FUCKING WANT to be scientists. Is that a crime?

Hi there, princess-munchkin. Female engineering student here.

Bill Nye is not saying that you HAVE to be a scientist, and you are right that no one is holding a gun to my head because I am interested in science, but let me tell you some of the struggles of being a woman in the STEM fields.

1) Because I am a woman, I am not expected these fields. I first fully realized this when I was in high school, on my robotics team. See, although my robotics team was about 50% female, most of the women were part of the “business administration” side of things: finance, marketting, PR, membership, etc. Was this a problem? Absolutely not. But I was there to be an engineer, and specifically, to be the robot programmer. This was met with a lot of hesitation at first from some of the other students (all of whom happened to be male. This is not necessarily a bad thing.) You see, all of the robot programmers before me were guys. Computer programming is just a thing that guys do, or so they thought. Even after I had proved myself to the mentors on the team, many of the students still underestimated my abilities. There were rumors going around that I wouldn’t have been able to program the robot at all if the lead software mentor wasn’t there to help me. This was just flat-out false, but it wasn’t until I won an award for the team that the other students actually saw my merit.

2) There is not a lot of encouragement for women to go into these fields. I first noticed this when I was in elementary school. I was always interested in math, science, you name it, but many of my teachers and family members pushed that to the side for a long time. When I asked for legos for christmas, I would get ballet slippers. In fact, for a long time, I was training to be a professional dancer. I loved to dance. I loved math more, but no one seemed to notice that about me. It wasn’t until I had a long conversation with one particular teacher in high school that I decided to look into engineering. I had never even considered it as an option before, because no one decided to encourage me to pursue my interest in science. If it hadn’t been for that teacher, I would probably not be at the school I am at right now.

3) For a long time, Engineering/Science/Math WAS a “boys only” club. Let me tell you when some of the top technical schools and societies started letting women in:

RPI, The oldest tech school in the country, founded in 1824. Started admitting women in 1942 to “replace men called to war.” Campus housing for women wasn’t constructed until 1966.

Tau Beta Pi, the Engineering Honors Society - Founded in 1885. Started admitting women in 1968.

Caltech - Currently rated #3 in undergraduate engineering. Founded in 1891. Started admitting women in 1970.

Georgia Tech - Currently rated #5 in undergraduate engineering. Founded in 1885. Started admitting women in 1952.

Do you see the implications of this? Engineering has been a part of our society since around the late 1800s (in the case of RPI, since the 1820s), but women weren’t even allowed in for the most part until the 1950s, regardless of their merit.

4) Because of the fact that it was a “boys only” club for such a long time, there are not a lot of women engineers and scientists to look up to. When you’re reading your physics, chemistry, and math text books, the majority of those theories were came up with by men. It is true that much of our history was written by White Men, but this does not mean that the fact that there are few women scientists to look up does not matter.

So, as you can hopefully see, princess-munckin, or anyone else that shares the opinions of princess-munchkin, Bill Nye was not arguing that women that are not interested in STEM should go into those fields anyway. But he IS arguing against all of the systematic barriers set up against women who ARE interested in engineering and science. There are several women out there who are just as good as the boys at math and science, but will never pursue their interests because it just doesn’t seem like an option. That was me for a long time. I am super grateful for the fact that I fought against that, and that I ended up where I am.

if you don’t like science, fine. Don’t be a scientist. But if one day you have a daughter and she shows interest in being a scientist, PLEASE encourage her. Because Bill Nye is right, there needs to be more women scientists in the world.

A+ comment

Because these things still happens, even in the most equal societies. People are doing these things, usually without realizing it.

Wild Spirit, which art moving everywhere: So about the so-called lack of boy stuff in YA:

yaflash:

So I have a lot of feelings every single time I hear that people are “angry” or “annoyed” or whatever that they can’t find ONE SINGLE YA BOOK IN THE ENTIRE YA SECTION FOR BOYS TO READ and YOUNG MEN ARE FAILING BECAUSE GIRLS ARE TAKING OVER LITERATURE and HOW CAN BOYS POSSIBLY BE…

This actually really true and I hadn´t realize it. Because you can´t really read books with only women, but there are REALLY lot of books with only men or mainly men. Starting from LOTR. And the few books with female main charahters are marked as trash or not real literature. And that it fucked up shit.
