Look From Far.

also, embroidery is awesome because thats what computers are made of-  RAMs are LOLs, Little old Lady memories.

ps- I suggest we revoke embroiddery for tactile information transfer. that’s it. its time for embroidery braille.

also music cards can be embroidered, they’re punchcards at the end of the day, so its like printed music but closer, because you can not just see , but feel it too.

helps everyonne. time for everyone to embroidery. where are those artistic grandpas, comeon, you gotta get to it grandpas, if you want that shed on mars, you need to do some embroidery yall

Ok so as of 21:15 UTC, 21st November, there have been

2,053 Total User Reviews for the Supernatural series finale, "Carry On".

Of these,

1,335 have been 1 (of 10) star reviews, while 546 have been 10 (of 10) star reviews.

That's 65% & 27% respectively.

I mean, I guess those numbers are bad enough on their own but believe it or not they're actually an improvement on this afternoon's picture, where the divide was closer to 70-20.

Now obviously, the reception looks bad, doesnt it? Yes? Yes?

Yes.

But what's worth noting is that even dealing strictly with these 2 extremes, & handing the advantage over completely to the positive side (I.e. the 10/10 ratings), you end up with something like this-

1⭐ - 65%

10⭐ - 35%

I.e. a 4.15 ⭐ average.

But the average rating is 6.6/10. I would've taken the distribution of the ratings directly but I dont see any means to access it on imdb (maybe I'm just dumb).

Which leaves us to infer indirectly from the data above, that the people rating the episode positively, aren't reviewing as much as the people rating it negatively.

From over 7,000 ratings, let's try and estimate the general distribution of responses & see how it compares to that of the subset which reviewed.

Again, dealing strictly with extremes, we can reduce the problems to two variables for which we have 2 linear equations available

Let x be the percentage of 10/10 ratings, & y that of 1/10 ratings, then

10X + Y = 6.6

X + Y = 1

I would've gone for a linear programming solution but there simply are not enough constraints without removing the other 8 variables from the equation.

So basically in an only extremes scenario, u have 38% of the audience responding negatively to the episode, while 62% are satisfied.

62% said 😍🤣😝🤔🤫😮😯😲😭😊😭😊 instead of 🙂🙂🤨🙃😶😪😴😴😴😴😴

62% said 10/10.

An almost completely inverted image of the reviewer response.

Its

Interesting.

There's really nothing this proves. True to the spirit of statistics, this was mostly pointless. All that can be substantially concluded is that at the very least, the people who were disappointed by the finale felt far more strongly about it than the people who weren't. The people who cared more were the ones left heartbroken. Whatever that's worth.

octupi r v nice. 

in continuation to this article, David Nichols, who pioneered studies of MDMA for therapy, wonders how ecstasy might help untangle the fear circuitry in octopuses: “Connecting the dots in the octopus may lead to scientists being able to connect the dots, so to speak, in other species, including man,” Dr. David Nichols has said.Though just beginning, Dr. Dölen is my rockhard and rightly believes that we need to be taking full advantage of these compounds to see what they’re doing to the brain.She stated that when the octopuses came down from their serotonin highs, they acted completely normal — for an octopus.

time for a diversion from the drugs are evil narrative isn’t it? They are dangerous because they were given to people who’d like them being dangerous and promoted them so, they should be used differently is all. Water would be dangerous if we tried to breath it, wouldn’t it? Octopuses are indeed cute. And we must learn from all cute evies.

[img id- newspaper article titled “On ecstasy, octopuses reach out for a hug”, article content: Octopuses are smart. They open jars, steal fish and high-five each other.Though interactive, they’re generally asocial, and temperamental, with unique behavior patterns, like those shown by Otto, who caused blackouts at a German aquarium and Inky, who famously escaped a tank in New Zealand. They learn through experience and observation, forming lasting memories with brain-like bundles of hundreds of millions of neurons in each arm and a centralized bundle in the middle.A desire to understand the evolutionary underpinnings of this brain power led scientists to give octopuses ecstasy. Yes, ecstasy — molly, E, MDMA, the party drug, which in humans reduces fear and inhibition, induces feelings of empathy, distorts time and helps people dance to electronic music all night.And under the influence of MDMA, the researchers report in a paper published Thursday in Current Biology, asocial octopuses seemed to become more social.“Even though octopuses look like they come from outer space, they’re actually not that different from us,” said Gül Dölen, a neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine who led the study with Eric Edsinger, an octopus researcher at Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole.They also found that humans and octopuses share parts of an ancient messaging system involved in social behaviors, one enhanced by the presence of MDMA in both animals. These shared lineages may have been conserved to reduce fear and enable social behaviors. And although preliminary, the authors think octopuses present a promising model for studying MDMA’s effects on the human brain, treating PTSD and better understanding how the brain evolved to conjure social behaviors.[Like the Science Times page on Facebook. | Sign up for the Science Times newsletter.]MDMA helps release, among other chemicals, serotonin. That ancient molecule is involved in regulating mood and social behaviors in invertebrates like locusts as well as vertebrates, like fish, dogs and humans.Smarter Living: The best advice from The Times on living a better, smarter, more fulfilling life.For Dr. Dölen, who is interested in evolution of social behavior, the octopus offered an interesting test of MDMA and serotonin, because it is separated by 500 million years of evolution from humans, but also has complex behavior.Octopuses suspend their aggression for a few minutes to mate, perhaps accessing an otherwise switched-off neural signaling system — potentially similar to the one that helps humans behave socially, she reasoned. And any similarities in octopus and human genetic code related to this system could help her understand how the brain — down to its tiniest bits — evolved to govern social behaviors.Like a wedge in Pac-Man’s mouth, MDMA fits inside a protein that moves serotonin in and out of neurons. The drug eventually causes a flood of serotonin between synapses, increasing its signals. When the researchers compared the genome of the California two-spot octopus (Octopus bimaculoides) to those of other animals, they discovered humans and octopuses could both make this protein, and it was nearly 100 percent similar at that special Pac-Man spot.But would that protein on ecstasy also make octopuses social?They put the octopuses in the center of a three-chambered tank where they could explore a Star Wars figurine on one side or another octopus on the other (it was contained beneath an overturned orchid pot with holes, in case the MDMA hadn’t worked and violence ensued).Undosed, octopuses of either sex spent more time with the toy than the other octopus (if it was a male; they seemed less concerned when it was female).But after soaking in low-dose MDMA-laced baths, the octopuses seemed to relax. They spent more time with the male octopuses on the other side of the tank.They also hugged the pot with several arms, showing off their ventral ends, or mouths, almost like how the Larger Pacific Striped Octopus, the only known social octopus species, mates beak to beak in an eight-armed hug.Though they tested only a few octopuses and MDMA likely acts on more molecules than serotonin, Charles Nichols, a pharmacologist at the Louisiana State University School of Medicine, was impressed: “I’ve been giving psychedelics to fruit flies for years in my lab, but had yet to have seen one given to an octopus.”- end id]

drifting away

A chasm has opened up All paths have failed What cure is there now for broken hearts? The happiness that never was mine May it be yours, it wherever you go My desire is, for you to live, And for your hopes and dreams to come true

May your world never reflect the barrenness of mine

each and every memory of yours is etched into my heart The way you would smile at me The way you would whisper to me that “You belong only to me” God only knows how it came to this pass How we came to be driven apart

I abandoned everything for you I burnt all my boats to come here to you But you never became mine You simply walked away I don’t know where you disappeared, taking my heart with you

Where would I go? I’m still right here I’m present in every beat of your heart You’re in my dreams when I sleep In my thoughts when I’m awake At each and every moment, you’re with me My heart beats for no one but you Now it will never belong to anyone else I am saying goodbye

I am saying goodbye

I am saying goodbye

I am saying goodbye

Sry babe

meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeean

it is a pixel angel. oooooooooooooooooooof
