Task failed abysmally, I'm having a threesome on Tuesday. My job is to look pretty and hand over the props.

That was fun, amd I learned some things about myself! Namely that I would make an excellent scantly-clad servant bowing to a sadistic evil queen. 10/10 would do it again.

Please stop reblogging this, if it ends up on Tiktok some teenybopper is gonna call me bad ace representation.

this is an incredible renaissance painting

BAROQUE PAINTING YOU MEAN A BAROQUE PAINTING I AM SO FUCKING TIRED.

RENAISSANCE IS COMPOSED IN A TRIANGLE, IS LOW CONTRAST AND BRIGHT COLORS. EVEN BATTLE SCENES ARE SHOWN BRIGHTLY

BAROQUE HAS HIGHER CONTRAST AND DARKER TONES, THE POSES ARE IMPROVED POST-THE RENAISSANCE GREATS AND ARE MORE DRAMATIC, THE TONE IS SOMBER AND THE ACTION HEIGHTENED.

DESPITE THE COLOR OF THE PHOTOGRAPH, THE LINE COMPOSITION AND DRAMATIC POSING MUCH MORE RESEMBLES A BAROQUE PIECE, BUT IF WE'RE PARROTING A MEME IT DOESNT MATTER THIS SHIT ONLY MATTERS TO ART MAJORS RIGHT? WELL YES IT DOES. BUT NOT FOR LONG.

THE CABINETS. ONE OF THESE CONTAINS A BOMB. FIND IT, OR ELSE DASHCON 2 WILL DIE. YOU HAVE 60 SECONDS. AND EVERY TIME YOU OPEN UP A CASE, YOU GET FIVE MORE SECONDS. BUT IF YOU FIND A PUZZLE INSIDE OF EACH DIFFERENT ONE, AND SOLVE IT, YOU GET EXTRA MINUTES. HOWEVER, IF YOU CAN'T SOLVE THE PUZZLE, WELL THEN, YOU'RE JUST WASTING VALUABLE TIME, AREN'T YOU.

LEARN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RENAISSANCE COMPOSITION VS BAROQUE OR EVEN NEOCLASSICISM COMPOSITION BEFORE SPEAKING AGAIN. GET TO STUDYING.

I want you to know that I did have the thought “this is definitely not accurate to call this a renaissance painting” however a meme is a meme my friend

I think Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has a really good application when you are trying to overcome negative messages that other people or the world have told you, for example if you have a habit of thinking to yourself "i am so ugly" it would help to change your thinking and tell yourself things like "I don't have to be beautiful to have value."

I think it would also work if you got in the habit of using negative thoughts to punish yourself? Like if you were afraid of failure so you started telling yourself things like "I am so lazy, I will never succeed at anything" because you felt that you needed punishment in order to motivate yourself to try harder, or if you felt you needed to rationalize why you don't try so you don't get exposed to failure.

And definitely there are some manifestations of anxiety that it would be helpful for?

But I think it is not good to use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as the basic generic therapy

CBT was incredibly helpful for me dealing with PTSD from abuse. It did fuck all for my depression. A wonderful therapy that absolutely has a specific use case and is not helpful outside of that use case.

ok but how do I get there from "assembling a sandwich is too much work"

As someone who went through this and struggles with chronic pain and fatigue, add 1 thing semi regularly. And I do mean just 1 thing.

When I first moved out most my meals were instant ramen. Then I started adding 1 egg to that ramen to get a little protein in. In a couple months, 1 egg became two. Then it was 2 eggs and 1 chopped green onion. Then a couple months later I was adding carrots and other vegetables. In about two years I was able to skip the instant ramen part altogether and now use chicken broth and noodles and I’m basically making a ramenesque soup from scratch when I’m craving ramen. It took 2+ years total of just gradually, one at a time, adding one ingredient. Over a period of months/weeks.

Start with where you’re able. If a sandwich is too much, maybe try just a piece of bread and some meat or cheese. Focus on where you can be gradually introducing more nutrients into your body. 1 slice of deli meat. A couple weeks later, that plus 1 slice of cheese. Then 1 vegetable. Maybe they don’t all make it into sandwich form and that’s ok. But if you keep what’s the most basic and simple for yourself and slowly add 1 thing that’s not too much of a hassle, over a couple months you might start toasting the bread before putting cheese and meat on it. Then one day there’s more vegetables. Years down the line you might find yourself owning a panini press or slicing your own bread.

Most of us will never be gourmet chefs and that shouldn’t be the goal. You might not ever get to the point where you own a panini press. But the more important thing is that you’re finding ways that work, for you, gradually, in order to make your meals more nutritious. The expectation to cook a full, unique meal every night for dinner is a relatively new phenomenon and completely unrealistic for most people. Having the same 3 things you can make consistently and keep on rotation is plenty fine, especially if you get to the point where you can mix it up a little bit by adding ingredients in the method stated above. Feeding yourself should be the #1 goal, getting more nutrients in #2, and stepping it up to the next level #3 when you have the capacity to. Like with a lot of things, it’s really just about consistency. Start with where you can be consistent. If that’s 1 meal a week you cook yourself and the rest is hot pockets, but you can do that 1 meal consistently, then that’s where you start. Then when you have that down, maybe try two (of the same) meals a week, or ask what you can add to your hot pocket to make it a little better for you. (Some vegetables on the side for instance).

Don’t try to jump in from 0 to full course meal all at once or you’ll overwhelm yourself. Building a meal outward from bread and butter over a period of weeks is incredibly possible. No two peoples’ timelines will be the same, but it is entirely possible and that success will look different for everyone, and that’s also ok. As long as you’re feeding yourself, that’s what’s most important.

this is so helpful. too many times when I ask how to do something, people tell me to "just do it" like I'm supposed to already know what steps to take. and I almost never know what steps to take. someone actually telling me is so refreshing

Cosmic alignment…

Fuck all of the good luck posts out there. Reblog this to immaculate your vibes

youre telling me that i can make some boxes with lines through them

solve the multiplication equation for each pair of individual digits and arrange them in the boxes just so

AND THEN ADD UP ALL THE NUMBERS IN EACH COLUMN AND GET THE RIGHT ANSWER????

this post taught me that not everyone learned the lattice method in elementary school

In grade school we learned the normal way to do multiplication one day and then the lattice way the next, except I was sick the day we learned the normal way and they never went back and reviewed it and neither did I and so to this day I only know how to use the lattice method

....What the ever loving fuck, this is really cool???? I have NEVER heard of this???

I swear the jump from the first to the second image is basically that "draw the owl" meme.

Yeah it took me a while to figure it out, but I DID! So for me and you and everyone else going “wait wtf just happened????” I present a more step by step breakdown!

So you start with a grid with as many squares as needed to write one number across the top and one number down the side. And draw these diagonal lines through them. Yes you should extend them out the side.

THEN you basically multiply the numbers that match with each square, put the tens digit in the top triangle and the ones digit in the bottom triangle. Like so:

so once you’ve done that, you start adding up the numbers in the DIAGONAL column/row thingies from the bottom right up to the top left, like so:

You only want one digit (tho I assume if the very top/last row somehow gets 2 digits that’s ok, but ONLY in that position) and you’ll carry over to the next column, like if you were adding normally.

Then you start at the top left and just take all the numbers going down and around and put them together!

It does take up a lot more space and has a few more steps than the more traditional long multiplication, I think, but for people who struggle with that I think this would be a handy tool!

Here’s a screenshot of the more traditional style to compare:

I hope this helps! I had to figure it out on my own bc I was never taught this either. :)

Huh. I'll be damned. Reblogging so I'll hopefully remember how to do it.

I learned this way in school and switched to a school that taught the traditional way the next year and all the kids thought I was a witch

This is poetry. This is storytelling. You can leave the sound off if you want but. Stop. Watch. You surely will not regret doing so.

because politicians in almost every continent are inciting violence against muslims or touting hatred against us, spreading anti-islam propaganda. resulting in lynching, beaten in the streets, fired from jobs, seen as pariahs, excluded from society

like what are we even doing. what must be done for this to be treated as an urgent matter
