being alive is great because there are so many different vegetables you can sauté. but then there are also the horrors

with faith and perseverance, one day we will sauté the horrors

cmon child safety lid you know it's me

This might be my 4th reblog of this at this point, but it’s such good advice. Like I remember in school as a kid that people may laugh at you if you asked a question but that mentality couldn’t be less relevant in adulthood. I ask a lottttt of fucking questions and I genuinely can’t remember the last time I was in an experience where that was seen as bad or someone else got shamed for it.

Wow I don’t understand math at all

I think my brain just stopped working

100% is just another way of saying twice more likely. So 100% more basically means multiply the number you do have by 2.

Imagine how many woman are scared to have kids because of that statistic

This is why I took stats instead of calc. Because I don’t build engineer bridges in my everyday life but I sure do read studies that affect how I might live my life if I misinterpret them.

I’m terrible at numbers and math but I knew this and I really take it for granted. The average person definitely assumes, quite understandably, that “600% INCREASE!!!” must always mean a whole lot even if it literally only means that one of something is now six of something. Politicians probably take a shitload of advantage of this confusion.

just remember that increased BY and increased TO are very different things.

Oh god I didn’t even think about that whole other layer of confusion. Yeah if you’ve got 100 people and one of them is sick, that’s 1% of them who are sick, so if it “increased BY 100%” then that means now two people are sick. If it’s “increased TO 100%” then all 100 people are sick.

Reblogging again for that last addition.

whats more special than a romance between two women who both have something deeply deeply deeply deeply deeply wrong with them

you DEACTIVATE doctor? you deactivate his program like the holonovel? oh! oh! jail for captain! jail for captain for One Thousand Years!!!!

this is very true, but also if you wind up commenting in a language the fic writer kind of knows, you may get the entertainment bonus of seeing the person whose prose you recently appreciated reply to you in your own language with the grace and style of a seal attempting a 50-meter sprint.
