"Is rabbits eatable? Or you just s'posed to cuddle the fuck outta them?"

if I ever become a teacher I will respond to student emails with animated gifs.
So I emailed my computer science GSI a programming question...
and he responds with a lmgtfy link: which basically takes you to a page that shows you how to google any given question.
So I emailed him back with this:
So I met this person today....
… He was in a wheelchair and his hands sort of curled in on themselves. Not like at the joints, but sideways a little, if that makes sense.
Anyway, I had just finished buying lunch and was carrying it in one hand with my backpack and wallet in the other. I plopped my stuff down at his table with the intention of putting my wallet away and leaving, since I had a midterm in about ten minutes.
Me:Sorry(about intruding on his personal space/the table)
Him:Oh, don’t worry about it! Stay and sit, if you have time.
So I did. And we had a pleasant little chat while I watched him consume his cheeseburger one layer at a time with his fingers: first the tomato, then the lettuce, then the gooey cheese and patty.
Anyway, that’s not the point. I guess what I was kinda wondering in that little moment before I decided that I would sit down was why he was so nice and polite. And why he asked me to stay. (I’m very suspicious like that). Maybe that’s just the way he is, but at the time I thought: “is it because people don’t like to make small-talk with him often?” And it was just an interesting and sad concept: the idea of people potentially avoiding him or feeling uncomfortable around him because of his condition when in reality we had a very pleasant chat about the semester almost being over and his friend who is graduating.
My fave OUaT dialogue from Episode 19
- Mr. Gold: I think he might still be very angry.
- Archie: Anger between a parent and a child is the most natural thing in the world.
- Mr. Gold: I think he's here to try to kill me.
- Archie: ....
- Mr. Gold:
- Archie: ....
- Archie: That...is not.

I’m sitting here watching this in the middle of my GSI’s office trying not to FREAKING SCREAM AT REGINA AND HER STUPID SEDUCTION TACTICS OH MY GOSH YOU BEEZNITCH!!!!
This is why I love my computer science class.
- There's a long line at my Grad Student Instructor's office hours. Everyone needs help on the project due that night.
- Dave: I probably won't be helped because of this queue.
- Adrian (my GSI): You are cute!
- ***Dave looks at Adrian***
- ***Adrian looks at Dave***
- Dave: What?
- Adrian: Isn't that what you said? You never get helped because you're not cute?
- Dave: Because of the QUEUE.
- ***silence***
- Dave: But, uh, thank you.
Who Needs Feminism?: I need feminism because the wife of a potential presidential candidate said the following →
whoneedsfeminism.tumblr.com
“Why should women be paid equal to men? Men have been in the working world a lot longer and deserve to be paid at a higher rate. Heck, I’m a working mom and I’m not paid a dime. I depend on my husband to provide for me and my family, as should most women… and if a woman does work, she should be happy just to be out there in the working world and quit complaining that she’s not making as much as her male counterparts. I mean really, all this wanting to be equal nonsense is going to be detrimental to the future of women everywhere. Who’s going to want to hire a woman, or for that matter, even marry a woman who thinks she is the same, if not better than a man at any job. It’s almost laughable. C’mon now ladies, are you with me on this?”—
Ann Romney, wife of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney
“Free Wood Post is a news and political satire web publication, which may or may not use real names, often in semi-real or mostly fictitious ways. All news articles contained within FreeWoodPost.com are fiction, and presumably fake news.”
Thanks, dude! I was definitely surprised that a presidential candidate’s wife would think to voice opinions like these aloud.
I have been home for less than 20 minutes and all ready I’m back to having my only contribution to conversations being “Mhm. Mhm. Mhm.” Sometimes, I hate this place.

thoughts from a restless mind.: "Lambda functions don't need names. It's like a one-night stand." →

I taught my first computer science discussion today.
…
I think my teaching skills need work.
No they don’t.
^^ what they said
i find the statement quite humorous, but i’d also like to explore the relationships between intrinsic names,…
^I love that you took a comment about one-night stands and turned it into an existential crisis. I should have known that you were also a Berkeley undergrad!
- Me: I really need to go to bed.

While browsing IMDB...
Oh look the page is up for the OUAT Finale
Scrolling…
Browsing…
What. WHAT.
Oh my. I can’t. I CAN’T.
Artsie Adorationist: Who is August W. Booth? →

My Theory - August W. Booth is Pinocchio.
I know, I know, Rumbellers all want August to be Bae (trust me I’m one of them…) but it can’t work.
He can only be Pinocchio.
While I wish (WISH WISH WISH) he was Rumpelstiltskin’s son, he can’t be. For one, Rumpelstiltskin, as has been said by…

There’s one woman in my neighbourhood who goes, “AHAHAHAHA” when she see’s me. -James McAvoy
I love print statements. So much so that I would buy a tshirt with the declaration.
This is how you know that you’re destined for computer science.
I have a love-hate relationship with my bed.
We love each other, and hate everyone else.
When did Allah give you the authority to judge other people?

No they don’t.
Hahaha. *bow* Why thank you :) I’ll try to keep my awkward analogies gramatically correct next time, though.

400th post!!!
let’s celebrate this (and his birthday tomorrow) with some Bobby pictures/gifs, shall we?
love all of these. Thanks so much!
