It has become the lucky charm in the IT industry because engineers believe it will make machine acting good (like the name of the snack) and stay in green light (like the color of the snack’s package) when a 乖乖 is put on top of a server.

It is the only food allowed in a server room and the biggest semicondoctor company in Taiwan (which is also the biggest worldwide) even commissioned the snack factory to make a customized version with blessing on the package.

This is how a server room is blessed by 乖乖. You put at least one on top of each server. It’s important that the engineers change them before the expire date because legend says the snack looses it’s power after expire date.

You’ll hear engineers swearing up and down that their server room crushed down the one time they forgot to change the snack.  Or some newbie ate the forbidden snack put on top of their server and caused a disastrous crush down.

The 乖乖 religion later spread to all people who want their machine to act nice. In the lab we put 乖乖 on ultra-low freezer (you really don’t want it to drop dead along with your 2 years’ worth of sample/data), mass spectrometer etc.

When Taiwan’s about to launch the first self made satellite in 2017, the develop team even put 乖乖 around the satellite model to prey for a successful launch (it did). This shit is real.

He even wrote a sequel to Poe’s only novel, and numerous essays about how great an author Poe was.

ok heres a SNEAK PREVIEW of my crash course consisting of the most common kinds of bullshit i see people falling for

-gold and pearl do NOTHING for your skin. they just sit on top being useless and at most provide some cosmetic shimmer. a product with gold/pearl has a higher price for no reason. not only that but companies Know these ingredients are useless so if a company is purposefully misleading the public with bogus advertising that means that everything else about their product should also be regarded with suspicion

-dont take the marketing teams word for what an ingredient does!! example: ive seen companies add extracts from “desert plants” to moisturizers and claim that since desert plants dont dry out, theyll keep ur skin from drying out too. this doesnt make any sense if u think about it for more than 10 seconds, but it sure makes for a pretty ad!

-topical collagen is useless! collagen isnt absorbed through the skin, its an enormous molecule, it just sits on ur face doing nothing. like gold and pearl, its a useless ingredient that serves only to hike prices up

-beware of vague promises! if something says it will “rejuvenate” or “revitalize” or “wake up” your skin its bullshit. those words dont mean anything! some decent products may use those words in marketing, but if a product exclusively uses vague terms, or provides “data” like “80% of women saw more invigorated skin” thats a warning sign for bullshittery

-check the ingredients list. a product may prominently advertise that it includes [CURRENT FAD INGREDIENT] but where is the ingredient? once you get near the end of the ingredients list, the quantities of those components are so miniscule that the feature ingredient probably wont provide any benefits at all

-get some ph strips and test ur products. average healthy skin ph is around 4-5 (slightly acidic) and maintaining that ph is important for everything from protection against infection to maintaining moisture. most of ur products should be neutral (7) or slightly acidic. chemical exfoliants might have ph as low as 3. chemical exfoliants have different optimal phs so do some research on yours.

-for the love of god PLEASE dont use scratchy physical exfoliators !!!!! if you want physical exfoliation use something gentle like a konjac sponge. i also had a scrub that used rounded grains of rice as the exfoliating element and that worked well. dont scrub your face super hard and try not to exfoliate every day. be nice to your skin please !!!

This is Rhys, my 2 year old cat

You can do whatever you want with him, he never bites or scratches anyone and he loves playing fetch and sucking on soft plushy blankets

Another cat has bitten him and gave him this bacteria called Pyo Thorax which causes fluid behind his lungs. It's a deadly condition, but thank god my mom and I noticed on time so he's now in an animal hospital where they're cleaning his lungs and

He's doing really well at the moment

Unfortuately, the bacteria won't completely be gone unless the vets do a surgery where they open up his chest and clean every little corner of the lungs so they know that all the bacteria are gone. Then again, Rhys is a strong lil man and he's doing fine so the surgery will, according to the vets, go well and he'll recover like any other cat.

But

The surgery is expensive and my mom, who has all the money for the surgery but planned on spending that money on buying new furniture for the house, thinks

"It's a waste of money to spend it all on a cat"

This is why mom wants to put him to sleep tomorrow

I'm not asking anyone here for money.

I'm asking if you can REBLOG this post to convince my mother that little Rhysie's life is worth the money and it's sad to give up on him because he is already getting so much better and he is just soo strong

If my mom still decides to put him down, let this be the post that still keeps Rhys alive on Tumblr , which is where I got his name from❤️

These unbelievable vintage postcards from the early 1900s were used as propaganda by men to stop women from having more rights. Although The Suffragettes campaigned tirelessly to change the status quo of the day, many men found the idea of women’s rights not only disagreeable but even downright dangerous.
