Can’t stop watching Kitchen Nightmares
It gets so painful to watch sometimes
H e l p
Ditto. Also Restaurant: Impossible. Between those two shows, I have lost so much of my life…
Communiques from Nowhere
Don't mind my rambling...
Rachel Edidin, editor of Dark Horse Comics staged a revolution to try and usurp the so-called “idiot nerd girl” meme. I find this delightful.
*sigh* When will people learn that there is a difference between girl nerds and “OMG N3RD GURL?” The Idiot Nerd Girl meme mocks the latter, which is an attempt for insecure young women to exploit a formerally marginalized (and predominantly male) subculture that is now gaining increased acceptance; mostly via equally offensive “DOOD I’M SUCH A NERD” male figures (read: anything Big Bang Theory related).
Seriously, other than a small handful of exceptionally dumb grognards (as in 3-4 out of hundreds of nerds I’ve met in my life), I don’t know anyone that isn’t on the internet that decries the presence of women in the subculture. And we all mock those idiots. Please, just stop with this idiotic crusade…

Stunning Landscape - Cappadocia, Turkey
The mysterious rock formations and underground cities of Cappadocia make this region of Turkey one the most beautiful in the world. The rich history of this site can be told through the villages, subterranean churches and fortresses that have been carved straight into the soft, porous, eerily eroded rock.
Popular activities in the region include visits to the underground cities, viewing the ancient Christian cave art, seeing the “fairy chimney” rock formations, and taking sunrise hot air balloon rides for a view of the breathtaking landscape from above.When I am certain everyone else in the world is following odditiesoflife I will not reblog everything she puts up quite so industriously….

an anime where everyone in a high school are pastel-haired tropes, involved in crazy, often unrelated circumstances (one group of friends hunts ghosts, there’s a group of magical girls, a bunch of love triangles, etc)
but the main characters of the show are brunette kids who are really confused all the time
I would watch the shit out of this.
I might watch anime again if I saw something like this

Anything below that is an F
is that real??
yup
Yup.
While I don’t deny that the grading scales are different, I have a feeling this isn’t quite what people are thinking. A 95 in my classroom doesn’t necessarily mean the same as it does in the room across the hall, as we use the same scale but assign different weights to what the points on that scale truly mean. Not to mention the fact that in the culture of my school anything below a 60% is Failing (100-90 is A, 89-80 is B, 79-70 is C, 69-60 is D), but if you get below a 70, you aren’t going to pass, so that’s really the Fail point.
Also, the scales vary from school to school. The school where my mom teaches uses a [100-92, 91-84, 83-76, 75-68] scale. I’m sure there are scales that swing the other way and seem more forgiving. This doesn’t mean her school is tougher (we scored better on State testing this year than they did, actually), rather they assign different values to the points on their scale than my school does.
Honestly, the only real problem isn’t how “difficult” the scale is, but how inconsistent the scales can be between different buildings in the same district, or even in each classroom of a building. It’s confusing, but US grading scales aren’t very tough, and I doubt that anything but the numbers differ from those of our friends across the Pond.
