Family trying to force me to go to church for Easter, despite the fact that I've made it abundantly clear I don't get anything out of it. Not only that, but they expect me to dress nicely. My justification for not doing so: "If I'm going to church I'm going to at least make it look like I need Jesus"
Regardless, I'm going with this hardcore American flag t-shirt so I can really be in the spirit of a bible belt Easter.

Oh nothing, just amazing music from Nightwish's newly released album.

My catchphrase recently has become "Fuck off, Windows!"
Last year it bluescreened and when I did the recovery it installed an unregistered version, which is stupid because it came from the hard drive itself. Now every few hours regardless of what I'm doing it'll put up this blue splash screen that says "activate windows" for a few seconds before it lets me drag it away. Only problem is it like literally waits for the most inopportune time to do that, like literally less than a second before I click on something(Consistently. Could happen 3-4 times a day) or right as I start a boss fight in a game or get a message from a friend, etc. And every time it happens I let out a hearty "FUCK OFF, WINDOWS!"
I didn't get to hear the "fuck off, windows!" when we played league :<

This just in! Apparently my fucking AQR teacher decides teaching us how to compile a fucking quarterback rating is a useful skill and valuable enough information to give us a fucking group project on that's DUE ON THE SAME DATE AS MY FUCKING RESEARCH PAPER.

I don't normally agree with you on anything, but you so perfectly reflected my thoughts with that post. They put so much emphasis on grades rather than actually making sure the students are actually learning the material. I'm not even one to complain about core subjects like algebra and physics being totally useless since it really depends upon what field you want to go in to, it's just that the whole approach to it all is such bullshit and that's what renders it all completely useless. Not to mention a growing number of students (high school and college, both) are becoming more stressed than anything particularly when it comes down to assignments and such.
But I should probably finish this rough draft rather than rambling on about how the education system is bullshit because no matter how bad it is, it's still something I'm required to put up with and this essay determines whether or not I'll have to put up with it another year.

Honestly, is the goal of our education system even to fucking teach students? Right now it feels like their goal is to stress us the fuck out and make sure we feel like complete failures at everything we do. Like, you could accuse me of complaining about not being able to continue my habits of laziness and procrastination like your average high school senior, but you really have to draw the line somewhere and I think it's reasonable to say that I've passed that somewhere by about 50 fucking miles. Okay, I'm completely fine with getting difficult assignments, I'm not okay with getting difficult assignments that can weigh my grade down so heavily that I could fail my entire senior year if I fuck up, and I'm DEFINITELY NOT FUCKING OKAY with the the fact that when I got this assignment more time was spent stressing the importance of following the fucking guidelines than actually explaining the fucking guidelines, and the fact that the due date for the rough draft I have to write for it is the day after it was assigned. I could write this shit in an hour, 4 pages, no problem right? Not with how fucking poorly everything was explained. I have to constantly Google this to make sure I'm not making any mistakes because I keep telling myself that just one will screw me over for the whole year and if that's the whole point of how shit's supposed to work in this system, I'm not fucking okay with it.

Did you just completely miss the point of what he said? A theory is the best you can get as far as explaining natural phenomena without it being an actual law of nature. Gravity is "just a theory", try explaining how that one's totally false.

The same sort of thing has happened with Diablo Swing Orchestra. Their singer Annlouice left last year to pursue a full-on opera career, and the new singer Kristin isn't an opera singer. The YouTube of their current single is full of people being really unhappy about it. And yes, it's a very different sound to their previous work, but so what? It's still definitely DSO, and DSO are known for smashing genres together. Metal fans are among the worst music fans in terms of snobbery and narrow-mindedness.
Yeah it's particularly bad with metal and EDM fans.
Like you'll have people on knife party songs complaining about how knife party doesn't make dubstep anymore. Like no shit? The whole point of the knife party project was experimentation. Half of knife party's new album made fun of fans for that reason, they do nothing but complain about the content.
Rammstein's work back in the 90s was great but LIFAD was by no means a bad album, hell, Anette wasn't an amazing addition to Nightwish but Imaginaerum was a damn good album and Nightwish's most popular for a reason. People have a hard time accepting change and it just bothers me.

Well I, for one, love this new singer and I can't wait to see what kinda stuff we get with her next month. But reading these comments gives me the biggest fucking headache, it's like people can't accept that Nightwish has moved on.
"It isn't Nightwish anymore!"
"Anette's style was much more diverse!"
"WE WANT TARJA BACK!"
Like shit, Tarja was gone ten fucking years ago and everyone's still whining about it. Nightwish's style changes and people really have trouble getting the fuck over it.
and then there's "This shit isn't heavy at all, what happened to old Nightwish?"
Well shit, neither were their older singles like Amaranth and Nemo, the whole point of their singles was to expand their fanbase and that really isn't a hard fucking concept to grasp. That also goes well with the "Nightwish is becoming mainstream" pieces of shit in the comments too. Like, boohoo more people are appreciating a good band. What is there to hate about that? People give me such a headache I swear.

Dear Planet Earth,Not finding something attractive does not equal body shaming. Like stop. Shaming someone for there body is body shaming. I get what you're trying to do but beauty is also an opinion believe it or not. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." ON TOP OF THAT, not finding something beautiful is also not body shaming.
Like seriously. People are trying to replacing a problem through hive-mind mentality which is a shitty way to deal with a problem. I'm not gonna throw away my individuality because people somehow think because I prefer A over B that I'm somehow a bad person. I said I prefer A over B not "A is good, B is bad".
No wonder SJW's get such a bad rep. They do everything completely wrong and they do it loudly.
Someone had to say it and I think you said it 100% perfectly.
Tumblr, you have your heart in the right place, but there's a point where you should have stopped and you're quite far past it.

I'm 99% sure it's against forum rules to even do as BTG said, just send it through PM to whoever asks for it.

I've learned more about astronomy from Kerbal Space Program in 3 days than I have from class in 3 weeks, and this is a game where days last 6 hours each and the home planet's orbital velocity is less than 1/10 that of Earth's.
