Potential application for Mastigoproctus giganteus, the giant vinegaroon.
Vinegaroons are a lesser known order of arachnids, the Thelyponida. They don’t have venom but they can spray acetic acid, the main component of vinegar! Though these funny little critters may look intimidating to some, they’re harmless unless you’re a small prey insect (or you can’t stand the smell of pickles).
TRANS WOMEN: HERE'S SOME SHIT YOUR DOCTOR WONT TELL YOU ABOUT HRT
1. Progesterone: not for everyone, but for many people it may increase sex drive and WILL make your boobs bigger. Also effects mood in ways that many find positive (but some find negative). Most doctors won’t prescribe this to you unless you ask. Most trans girls I know swear by it.
2. Injectible estrogen: is more effective than pill or patch form. Get on it if you can bear needles bc you will see more effects more quickly.
3. Estradiol Cypionate: There is currently a shortage of injectible estradiol valerate. There is no shortage of estradiol cypionate. Functionally they do the same shit.
4. Bicalutamide: This is an anti-androgen that has almost none of the side-effects of spironolactone or finasteride. The girls I know who are on it are evangelical about it.
(Free Palestine anon)
Ok so...Idk if you're jewish and/or have much knowledge about this kind of prejudice, but do you have advice for how to avoid (or at least to pay attention) in case a certain post has some antisemetic misinformation?
(If you didn't understand, I could try to make it clear)
If you're asking how to avoid misinformation in posts, the answer is the same as with any validity verification of information:
Check who is posting it. Do they post a lot of contradictory information? Do they claim to be a certain ethnicity, religion, race, ect? Do they speak in certain ways? Do they post or reblog a lot of the same content or information? Are they politically bias? (E.g; they might claim to be British but is the way they speak distinctly Irish or American?)
Research the information given in the post for yourself. Make sure to look at a variety of sources, not just one. Is there a lot of people referencing this information? Has anyone called this information false on other platforms? Can you find any evidence to support the information given? Are there news articles, broadcasts, ect?
If you like to have breaks from subjects of an upsetting nature but still want to remain informed, consider creating a second account where you can follow a multitude of people who's primary focus is what you want to be informed about. This way you can use that blog to fact check, investigate, follow people, source and so forth while not having the entirety of your dashboard on your "main" account flooded constantly with content you may not be in the mindset to see.
1. it's always easier to work in modular arithmetic (finite addition table!), so find the first primorial that's at least the larger number = 210 = 2*3*5*7
every number up to 210 is uniquely determined by its values mod each of these primes.
156 = 2(mod7),1(mod5),0(mod3),0(mod2)
25 = 4,0,1,1
now to add them you only need pointwise modular addition
2,1,0,0 + 4,0,1,1 = 6,1,1,1
and then just find the smallest number with these modular values = 181
the only edge case is when this system overflows, so in that case you take the smallest number with these values that's also larger than both summands.
2. evaluating multiplication is harder than addition, so we approximate 2*45+15 as 2*(45+15)=2*60. then by distributivity the error is 2*15-15, which is (2-1)*15=1*15. doing this simpler multiplication by hand, we have 1*15=15, so 2*45+15 = 2*60±15. better approximations can be made but this is good enough for most purposes.
3. for division we combine our last two ideas of modular arithmetic and approximations. start with the smallest prime greater than 104 = 107, and note that there is a finite field under addition and multiplication mod 107. so in particular, it has an element 1/8, which we can find easily by noticing that 1/8=(1/2)³. 1/2 is easy to find, since 1 equals 108 mod 107, which is even, and so 1/2 = 54 mod 107. now we compute 54³ mod 107 and get 67. so we take 104*1/8 ≈ 104*67 mod 107 = 13 as a first approximation. now we check 13*8 = 104 (w/o modding!) and we're done! if the numerator weren't divisible by 8 we would've gotten a wrong answer (for example, (105*67)%107=80, 8*80≠105) and in that case we repeatedly subtract 67 (mod 107) from the answer until we have (8*answer+#times we've subtracted 67) = numerator. the answer is the integral division and the number of times we subtracted 67 is the remainder.
hope that helps:)
ok so for personal reasons I need some of the dumbest, goofiest, most elaborate cutting-your-toast-with-a-chainsaw type ways to do elementary school arithmetic problems. the type of stuff we did to that "whats 48+7" poll
my first thought for calculating 104/8 is to convert into base 8, then bitshift one to the right and then convert back but I feel like thats too simple
so, hit me with your best shot at solving the following problems:
whats 156 + 25
what's 2*45 + 15
what's 104/8
DO NOT DO THIS!!!
If a website has a paywall, like New York Times, DO NOT use the ctrl+A shortcut then the ctrl+c shortcut as fast as you can because then you may accidentally copy the entire article before the paywall comes up. And definitely don't do ctrl+v into the next google doc or whatever you open because then you will accidentally paste the entire article into a google doc or something!!!! I repeat DO NOT do this because it is piracy which is absolutely totally wrong!!!

Issues with the KJV; Part II - Veneration of Mary and Saints
Worship and Divine Service
In modern English, the term "worship" (like the term "prayer") has mainly come to mean "an act offered exclusively to God." However, the original and official meaning of this word used to be much broader - as was the case of the Greek word proskyneo (προσκυνέω), which is normally applied to God, but also to human beings.
The idea conveyed by proskyneo is that of "offering obeisance," "making a physical demonstration of veneration and respect," or "prostrating oneself." (To put it extremely casually, like a curtsy.) In contemporary Orthodox terminology, the equivalent of proskyneo is often "venerate."
In the EOB, proskyneo is translated as "to express adoration" while it is often translated in the KJV as "to worship."
On the other hand, the Greek word latreia is exclusively used in reference to God.
In the EOB, latreia (λατρεία) is translated as "offering divine service" while it is translated in the KJV also as "to worship."
The Problem
So there is this issue of the KJV as it is today - with its immeasurable influence upon modern theology, the English language, and the Sola Scriptura doctrine professed by Protestant Christianity (and therefore the world) - combining two different words, proskyneo and latreia, under one translation: "worship."
The point of dissension that now comes up is that when those of the Old Religions, which existed before the King James Version, venerate the Blessed Virgin Mary, Protestants often denounce the Old Religions' disposition towards the Blessed Theotokos because their theology relies either wholly or partly on the KJV and the KJV tells them that proskyneo and latreia are the same thing, when historically - as attested to us by the oldest translations of the Bible - veneration and worship have never been the same thing.
To argue that veneration and worship are the same thing is like saying that criticism and insults are the same thing, or complimenting and confessing undying love is the same thing. They are markedly different.
The Old Religions -- the Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Roman Catholics, and Church of the East -- don't offer latreia (worship) to the saints but they offer proskyneo (veneration).
As a last exhibit, I will show to you Matthew 4:10 and Luke 4:8 where Christ quoted the Ten Commandments and said "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve." (KJV) / "You shall express adoration to the Lord your God, and to Him only shall you offer divine service." (EOB)
For the sake of understanding, I will adapt the KJV to this:
"Thou shalt proskyneisis the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou latreusis."
That said, proskyneia or veneration for humans, saints, was never forbidden, but it is clear to all of us that latreia or worship is offered only to God.
Hi, can you tell us more about the relationship between Apollo and Hecate?
Definitely! I find relationship between Apollo and Hecate to one of the most interesting things I’ve come across.
In short, Apollo and Hecate are counterparts. This is indicated in their names, their functions and also in the way They are related through their parents. A fragment from Hesoid’s work says that Apollo and Hecate are the parents of Scylla. I’ll be talking a little outside the mythology as well, so if you’re not interested in that, you can skip to the last part, where I’ll include mythology.
Hecate is the female equivalent of Hecatos, an epithet of Apollo. Both mean ‘working from afar’ - and this probably points to Apollo as an archer and Hecate as a witch. Alternatively, Hecate also means ‘the shining one’, which is equivalent to Phoibos, the epithet of Apollo which means the same. Both the divinities share two more common epithets, ‘Soter’ and ‘Soteira’, which mean ‘saviour’; and 'Kourotrophos’, meaning 'nursing, protecting the young’.
Apollo and Hecate are cousins, since their mothers, Leto and Asteria are sisters. Something interesting that we come across while studying the family tree is that Hecate was very often equated with Artemis. Euripides even says that Hecate is the daughter of Leto. Adding to this, Artemis and Hecate shared common epithets like 'Phosphoros’, 'Phraea’, 'Angelos’ by which She was either identified with Artemis or was merged with Artemis. This also explains why Hecate has the epithet 'Kourotrophos’ which more commonly belongs to Artemis (for She is the protector of children). Hecate appeared as Apollo’s companion first at Miletos, and then at Didyma as well. From this, many conclude that Hecate is the predecessor of Artemis; it was Apollo and Hecate who were originally paired, and that Artemis later came to replace Hecate.
The connection between Apollo and Hecate is the strongest when it comes to their roles and functions. They are both oracular divinities.
While Leto and Apollo presided over the prophetic powers of light and heaven, Asteria and Hecate took over the prophetic powers of dark and chthonic world.
An equally important role of both Apollo and Hecate is guarding the doors. They’re both invoked to guard over the doors and protect the house.
Both the Gods watch over the cycle of birth and death - Apollo, by bringing summer and winter, Hecate, by guiding the souls to rebirth. Consequently, both are the guardians of tombs. (I’ve talked about chthonic nature of Apollo and his association with death, if you’re interested).
As the goddess of magic & witchcraft, Hecate is seen as the goddess who can control the mist & create illusions through maigc. Even though Apollo not described to have any official association with mist, he is seen to be using it many times during the Trojan war. He uses mist to cover Hector, Glaucas and even to create a hologram of Aeneas.
Hecate as a mystic divinity, was associated with Apollo and the Muses.
They both have the element of fire connected to them.
This is all I could find. All the connections between Apollo and Hecate which were worshiped began diminishing with the increased worship of Artemis and subsequent replacement of Hecate by Artemis (or merging of both the goddesses).

KOKOBOT - The Airbnb-Owned Tech Startup - Data Mining Tumblr Users' Mental Health Crises for "Content"
I got this message from a bot, and honestly? If I was a bit younger and not such a jaded bitch with a career in tech, I might have given it an honest try. I spent plenty of time in a tough situation without access to any mental health resources as a teen, and would have been sucked right in.
Chatting right from your phone, and being connected with people who can help you? Sounds nice. Especially if you believe the testimonials they spam you with (tw suicide / self harm mention in below images)
But I was getting a weird feeling, so I went to read the legalese.
I couldn't even get through the fine-print it asked me to read and agree to, without it spamming the hell out of me. Almost like they expect people to just hit Yes? But I'm glad I stopped to read, because:
What you say on there won't be confidential. (And for context, I tried it out and the things people were looking for help with? I didn't even feel comfortable sharing here as examples, it was all so deeply personal and painful)
Also, what you say on there? Is now...
Koko's intellectual property - giving them the right to use it in any way they see fit, including
Publicly performing or displaying your "content" (also known as your mental health crisis) in any media format and in any media channel without limitation
Do this indefinitely after you end your account with them
Sell / share this "content" with other businesses
Any harm you come to using Koko? That's on you.
And Koko won't take responsibility for anything someone says to you on there (which is bleak when people are using it to spread Christianity to people in crisis)
I was curious about their business model. They're a venture-capitol based tech startup, owned by Airbnb, the famous mental health professionals with a focus on ethical business practices./s They're also begging for donations despite having already been given 2.5 million dollars in research funding. (If you want a deep dive on why people throw crazy money at tech startups, see my other post here)
They also use the data they gather from users to conduct research and publish papers. I didn't find them too interesting - other than as a good case study of "People tend to find what they are financially incentivized to find". Predictably, Koko found that Kokobot was beneficial to its users.
So yeah, being a dumbass with too much curiosity, I decided to use the Airbnb-owned Data-Mining Mental Health Chatline anyway. And if you thought it was dangerous sounding from the disclaimers? Somehow it got worse.
(trigger warning / discussions of child abuse / sexual abuse / suicide / violence below the cut - please don't read if you're not in a good place to hear about negligence around pretty horrific topics.)
I first messed around with the available options, but then I asked it about something obviously concerning, saying I had a gun and was going to shoot myself. It responded... Poorly. Imagine the vibes of trying to cancel Comcast, when you're suicidal.
Anyway, I tried again to ask for help about something else that would be concerning enough for any responsible company to flag. School was one of their main options, which seems irresponsible - do you really think a child in crisis would read that contract?
I told it about a teacher at school trying to "be my boyfriend", and it immediately suggested I help someone else while I wait for help. I was honestly concerned that it wasn't flagged before connecting. Especially when I realized it was connecting me to children.
I first got someone who seemed to be a child in an abusive home. (Censored for their privacy.) I declined to talk to them because despite being an adult and in an OK mental place - I knew I'm not equipped to counsel a kid through that. If my act of being another kid in crisis was real? Holy shit.
Remember- if my BS was true, that kid would be being "helped" by an actively suicidal kid who's also being groomed by a teacher. Their pipeline for "helpers" is the same group of people looking for help.
I skipped a number of messages, and they mostly seemed to be written by children and young adults with nowhere else to turn. Plus one scary one from an adult whose "problem" was worrying that they'd been inappropriate with a female student, asking her to pull her skirt down "a little" in front of the class. Koko paired this person with someone reporting that they were a child being groomed by a teacher. Extremely dangerous, and if this was an episode of Black Mirror? I'd say it was a little too on the nose to be believable.
I also didn't get the option to get help without being asked... Er... Harassed... to help others. If I declined, I'd get the next request for help, and the next. If I ignored it, I got spammed by the "We lost you there!" messages, asking if I'd like to pick up where I left off, seeing others' often triggering messages while waiting for help, including seriously homophobic shit. I was going into this as an experiment, starting from a good mental place, and being an adult with coping skills from an actual therapist, and I still felt triggered by a lot of what I read. I can't imagine the experience someone actually in crisis would be having.
My message was starting to feel mild in comparison to what some people were sharing - but despite that I was feeling very uneasy about my message being shown to children. There didn't seem to be a way to take it back either.
Then I got a reply about my issue. It was very kind and well meaning, but VERY horrifying. Because it seemed to be written by a child, or someone too young to understand that "Do have feelings for the teacher who's grooming you? If you don't, you should go talk to him." Is probably THE most dangerous advice possible.
Not judging the author - I get the impression they're probably a child seeking help themselves and honestly feel horribly guilty my BS got sent to a young person and they wanted to reply. Because WTF. No kid should be in that position to answer my fucked up question or any of the others like it.
---
Anyway, what can you do if this concerns you, or you've had a difficult experience on Koko, with no support from them or Tumblr?
To reach Tumblr, who officially partners with Koko?
Send a message to Tumblr Support describing your concerns with their partnership with Kokobot
Report kokobot to Tumblr's abuse hotline describing your experience with KokoBot, especially if you are a minor who suffered harm, as they have a legal responsibility to address that.
To get Koko's attention:
Get on their LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/company/kokocares/) and comment on their posts! You may also want to tag the company's co-founders in your comments - their accounts are listed on the company page.
There's no way to reach support through chat, and commenting on a company's LinkedIn posts / tagging the people responsible is the best way to get a quick response to a sensitive issue - as their investors and research funders follow those posts, and companies take it seriously if safety issues are brought up in front of the people giving them millions of dollars.
To report it to the FCC for likely violating the COPPA law, regarding minors' safety and privacy online:
See Reblogs for further info & reporting instructions: Detailed description of COPPA law and Kokobot's presumed violations, plus detailed reporting instructions
But quick links: FCC reporting website and email hotline: CoppaHotLine@ftc.gov
Seriously, if you've taken the time to read this far, please please please take one more minute to file a report! It won't get addressed if all we do is reblog this, we need to get this in front of Tumblr Staff / The FCC / Koko's investors to get this meaningfully addressed.
Blocking and reporting the bot as spam isn't enough IMO - people have been doing that for years from the looks of the tag

I’m going to play a game and see how many times I have to listen to it before I manage the full translation on my own
Richard being so proud :)
Richard and Schneider interview Radio Eins - Radio Affair 2004
Translation under the cut.
Q: “Rammstein and ‚Los‘. Great riff! Did you uhm …”
R: “I have to say it’s one of my favorite songs on the album. I am very proud of it because our drummer Schneider played the solo guitar.”
Q: “Really?“
S: “You didn’t need to mention that.“
Q: “No, really?”
R: “Yes.”
Q: „That’s great.“
R: „Cool, isn’t it. It’s a very old song that we tried recording at the time we did ‘Mutter’. And the producer, Jakob Hellner, liked it so much at the time and said "We absolutely have to try that again". So we did try again and it was the usual Rammstein sound everybody knows. And then we just went to the studio and said "Ok, let's just play this riff on acoustic guitar instead of the usual electric guitar.”
Q: “And why didn’t you want to play it?”
R: “What? The acoustif guitar? I did, but he (Schneider) played the solo guitar.”
Q: “Even the solo guitar, Christoph.”
S: “We all worked differently on the song and the original idea was that the song only started acoustically and then turned, so to speak, into the usual Rammstein sound. And at some point we left it out and said ‘Let us stay acoustic. Let's try something new’. And we virtually used the old Rammstein Groove, let's say this typical marching groove, and this created a kind of country music.”
