Fun statistical fact: Cows are about 300 times more likely to kill you than coyotes.
Minor sidenote to statistical fact: If it was common for people to keep several hundred coyotes on their property and routinely chase them into a corral and handle them, this statistic would be different.
this is a great summary of ‘conditional probability’, a statistical property many people grapple with
Friendly reminder that “taking the lord’s name in vain” isn’t actually about swearing, but things like trying to use scripture to excuse abusing children.
So when your response to the news continues to be “jesus fucking christ”, don’t worry, the J-man’s in the same horrified shoes as you right now.
how dare u accuse me, an innocent creme, of Eating Cinnamons Ear, something I absolutely did, but still how dare you!
In response to a guy mansplaining something, just say “Impressive. Every word in that sentence was wrong.”

Today in “I hate humanity”, dude makes a reservation at one oclock in the morning. We don’t have the room type he wants, I apologize and explain we’re very full so I’m putting him IN A BIGGER ROOM with a free upgrade. Man pitches a hissy fit and demands more membership points in compensation than I’m cleared to give out. He doesn’t have a problem with the room other than the fact that it’s not what he wanted. I did not tell him to his face to please untwist his knickers but it was a near thing.
“in this essay i will explore” memes piss me off because it implies y’all still using first person pronouns when writing academically. childish ass
In this essay, this writer will explore the implications of pretending that one’s own personal view is not part of one’s essay, and the inaccessibility of academia related to established custom of artificial detachment.
In this essay, I will demonstrate that the blanket ban on first-person pronouns in high-school and some university English classes is poorly understood and hastily adopted as a result. I will further illustrate that it is a mere substitute for explaining to inexperienced writers that excessive use of phrases like “I think” or “I believe” is unnecessary and rhetorically weakens academic writing, and that opinions expressed in an essay are already assumed to be those of the author. Finally, I will address strategies for effectively conveying that information to students, who often find it difficult to grasp.
In this essay, passive voice will be used throughout in order to distance the work done from any researchers, or, in reality, kind of imply all experiments were done by magical lab gremlins and the results were simply recorded.
in this essay, enlightenment will descend upon you without the agency of any living being. you will know things, yet know not how you know.
prepare yourself. it begins.
In this essay, I will use the first person pronoun as a bludgeoning weapon
Tea drinkers read this!!!
If you buy pre-made herbal tea blends (usually have names like Bedtime, Calm, etc) check the ingredients. I just saw a Nighttime blend that had St. Johns Wort in it, which can be dangerous when mixed with some medications. Talk to you doctor what herbs you should avoid. (Especially when you want to ingest st. Johns wort or mugwort)
A simple hint to remember is just because its in a food store, doesn’t mean its safe.
St. John’s Wort shouldn’t be taken with antidepressants as well as many anti-anxiety meds (such as Xanax)! For a full list see below:

My mom keeps trying to get me to take all kinds of herbal supplements and such and I keep telling her I need to check with my doctor first before taking any of them because they can interact with both anxiety meds and contraceptives.
