Wait, it only has to be 500 words? Shit kid, you do not need two months time to do that. Giving even basic poorly researched answers to those questions will get you that many words, easy.
The best trick to avoid going to school is to text your parents immediately and tell them that you have been trolling reddit since Sunday to get people you do not know to do your homework for you.
Tell them that these are people who, entirely through your own post history, now know: 1) how old you are; 2) what city you live in; 3) your religion; 4) your birthdate; and, 5) that you actually believe that you are capable of summoning demons and constructing love potions.
You're playing in a very weird space. Your parents should have a very serious discussion with you.
That will probably buy you time through at least third bell.
As you know, Trump is president and to celebrate, the famous Virginian (like Washington!) writer Margaret Atwood wrote a novel called "The Handmaid's Tale". Look it up, it's toping the bestseller lists right now.
Trump is president? My goodness! Also..The Handmaid's Tale was written in 1985. And is conveniently best selling again because a mini series is being made of it and it had a huge Superbowl ad. The show has been in production since last year - before Trump was president. Why you lying u/Calimie like a liar? Whose pants may or may not be on fire?
Also, Hamilton the musical sucks. I say those as a card carrying obnoxious showtunes lover who has seen goddamn Cats in person twice.
/u/Calimie is being super duper helpful, that's all. Everyone knows that the Handmaid's Tale is totally about the federalist papers, but not everyone knows that John Adams was actually Hamilton's best friend, despite the fact that they totally hated each other.
The music just grates on me nothing to do with the story. I straight up love rap but Hamilton just falls short and it's the blend of traditional musical and rap that just doesn't appeal to me.
Hey! That's me! I'll be honest with you, I made most of that stuff up.
I know she liked that stuff, but we weren't really that close at all.
It's a long, silly story that I wish I hadn't gotten mixed up in but the long story short is I met this girl on Omegle one night, we talk, she tells me about her deviantart, I assume it's a joke because it's so edgy but she's dead serious.
Ok whatever fine. She says since we're best friends she'll make me a profile pic, sends me a recolor of her character but with brown skin, and I politely say thank you.
Anyway, I don't hear from her for a while, then all of a sudden she come screaming at me about how people are bullying and slandering her good name and I didn't really care because I hardly knew her and I hate getting mixed up in childish drama shit, and I'd basically stopped using Deviantart at that point anyway.
Then, out of literally nowhere she makes a post about how she's fucking killing herself over the bullying!! I had no idea it was that bad, honestly, so I look through the links she'd sent me, and yeah some of these people were pretty nasty. Not worth killing yourself IMO, but she's not really a stable person though is she?
Fuck, this is actually a longer story than I thought it was. Basically I meet a girl who posts good cringe material, I think she kills herself, get angry and defend her, feel like an ass when she comes back like a month later, and genuinely kinda pissed she didn't mention it to me. Not like we were close, but I thought she was literally dead.
And here she is, back doing the same cringey shit she's always done.
What if you had the most talked about highly anticipated album of the year, created one of the most successful shoe lines (plus an admittedly average fashion line), and had to deal with the challenges of marriage, on top of the newly found responsibility of parenthood?
Consider that pressure.
You could argue his money makes it all a little bit better, and the "debt" he has is no where near as serious as the debt of the average college student, but all of that is admittedly a shit tonne of pressure to comprehend for a human being.
If I were in that position, I'd be fucking terrified. Fuck, when I perform music live to just 8 people Im terrified, yet alone an entire god damn stadium.
While he plays the confidence act of overstepping into arrogance far too frequently, you truly have to understand that he is scared, and has his anxieties. He's as flawed as anyone I know, but fame shoots his flaws into the public. And that's the thing that makes Kanye so great - flaws and all: Like all of us, he just wants people to understand him. While he might say the stupidest shit, haven't we all said some stupid shit? He's basically the living embodiment of the feeling of waking up after a huge night of drinking and regretting everything you've said. And while that's not excusable, it should at least be a lesson to learn from. And he does learn lessons, as his songs - if anyone actually stopped to listen to some of his lyrics - show this absurd level of insight. Heck, look at "Runaway" where he says, "Let's have a toast to the douchbags", in reference to himself. Heck, he even mentions being on Lexapro on one of his newest songs "FML". Of course he's scared. However, an acknowledgment of guilt is not an omission of guilt, but his personality in conjunction with his art stands to force us all to stop and think - whether it be positively or negatively.
Undeniably, he's had a tremendous impact on our culture, and that's immediately evident in the huge amount of both love and hatred thrown towards him. And, at the end of the day, isn't that the entire point of being an artist: to put forth your most honest and personal expressions to the world in order to evoke thought and criticisms about the way in which our lives operate?
I was at a party where someone once told me that they hated Kanye West, and after hearing his answer which was quite basic, revolving around his marriage to Kim, and his asshole reaction to Taylor Swift, I asked him to name me all of Kanye's albums, to which he couldn't name more than one. It made realise something really important about human beings: we default to hating something when we truly don't understand something. And this terrifies me. Because it made me wonder that, if this man hated something simply because he didn't understand his own emotions, then one day he might love something or someone without understanding why. And, I'd hate to be his wife when he one day makes that realisation.
It's so easy to just say we hate something when we don't understand it. We should be saying, "I don't know." "I don't know" is perhaps the most powerful thing a human being can say, because when you utter those words, it shows that you're willing to learn. You're willing to try. But people don't want to admit that they don't understand certain things, because to do that, would be to show a sign if weakness; a lack of intelligence. We're scared we will be judged, and seen as stupid. What's even sadder is that this line of thinking is applied to things such as politics as well, which is a frightening thought when you realise that this fear driven ignorance is influencing the way in which our countries operate. And it's fine to hate things, but I simply feel that we as humans are far too busy to take stock of our own beliefs sometimes. We can be complacent individuals who fall into bad habits out of sheer comfort. If you want to hate something - and remember that hate is an incredibly forceful word - stop to consider the true reasons as to why you hate that thing, and ask yourself whether those are entirely valid reasons. If so, feel free, but be prepared to fight for that argument until the death with a healthy combination of flawless logic and impassioned conviction.
And I guess that's why I respect Kanye West: He's fearless to be true to himself, and to fail repeatedly despite the consequences. If I could be as fearless as Kanye West, then who knows what the hell I could accomplish. But like most people, I'm selfishly hung up on my own insecurities and fears, which is leading me to live a life that doesn't feel like its been lived on my terms. I would undeniably fail, and I would fail gloriously to my friends, family and peers. But, at the same time, at least it would simultaneously allow me the opportunity to perhaps succeed.
Tl;dr: Understand why you hate something, and be fearless in your pursuit to be great.
It should be noted that I've upvoted every single person who's disagreed with me here, as far as I know.
That said.
In 7th grade, I took an SAT test without preparing for it at all, it was spur-of-the-moment, I knew about it about an hour ahead of time and didn't do any research or anything. I scored higher on it than the average person using it to apply for college in my area.
An IQ test has shown me to be in the 99.9th percentile for IQ. This is the highest result the test I was given reaches; anything further and they'd consider it to be within the margin of error for that test.
My mother's boyfriend of 8 years is an aerospace engineer who graduated Virginia Tech. At the age of 15, I understand physics better than him, and I owe very little of it to him, as he would rarely give me a decent explanation of anything, just tell me that my ideas were wrong and become aggravated with me for not quite understanding thermodynamics. He's not particularly successful as an engineer, but I've met lots of other engineers who aren't as good as me at physics, so I'm guessing that's not just a result of him being bad at it.
I'm also pretty good at engineering. I don't have a degree, and other than physics I don't have a better understanding of any aspect of engineering than any actual engineer, but I have lots of ingenuity for inventing new things. For example, I independently invented regenerative brakes before finding out what they were, and I was only seven or eight years old when I started inventing wireless electricity solutions (my first idea being to use a powerful infrared laser to transmit energy; admittedly not the best plan).
I have independently thought of basically every branch of philosophy I've come across. Every question of existentialism which I've seen discussed in SMBC or xkcd or Reddit or anywhere else, the thoughts haven't been new to me. Philosophy has pretty much gotten trivial for me; I've considered taking a philosophy course just to see how easy it is.
Psychology, I actually understand better than people with degrees. Unlike engineering, there's no aspect of psychology which I don't have a very good understanding of. I can debunk many of even Sigmund Freud's theories.
I'm a good enough writer that I'm writing a book and so far everybody who's read any of it has said it was really good and plausible to expect to have published. And that's not just, like, me and family members, that counts strangers on the Internet. I've heard zero negative appraisal of it so far; people have critiqued it, but not insulted it.
I don't know if that will suffice as evidence that I'm intelligent. I'm done with it, though, because I'd rather defend my maturity, since it's what you've spent the most time attacking. The following are some examples of my morals and ethical code.
I believe firmly that everybody deserves a future. If we were to capture Hitler at the end of WWII, I would be against executing him. In fact, if we had any way of rehabilitating him and knowing that he wasn't just faking it, I'd even support the concept of letting him go free. This is essentially because I think that whoever you are in the present is a separate entity from who you were in the past and who you are in the future, and while your present self should take responsibility for your past self's actions, it shouldn't be punished for them simply for the sake of punishment, especially if the present self regrets the actions of the past self and feels genuine guilt about them.
I don't believe in judgement of people based on their personal choices as long as those personal choices aren't harming others. I don't have any issue with any type of sexuality whatsoever (short of physically acting out necrophilia, pedophilia, or other acts which have a harmful affect on others - but I don't care what a person's fantasies consist of, as long as they recognize the difference between reality and fiction and can separate them). I don't have any issue with anybody over what type of music they listen to, or clothes they wear, etc. I know that's not really an impressive moral, but it's unfortunately rare; a great many people, especially those my age, are judgmental about these things.
I love everyone, even people I hate. I wish my worst enemies good fortune and happiness. Rick Perry is a vile, piece of shit human being, deserving of zero respect, but I wish for him to change for the better and live the best life possible. I wish this for everyone.
I'm pretty much a pacifist. I've taken a broken nose without fighting back or seeking retribution, because the guy stopped punching after that. The only time I'll fight back is if 1) the person attacking me shows no signs of stopping and 2) if I don't attack, I'll come out worse than the other person will if I do. In other words, if fighting someone is going to end up being more harmful to them than just letting them go will be to me, I don't fight back. I've therefore never had a reason to fight back against anyone in anything serious, because my ability to take pain has so far made it so that I'm never in a situation where I'll be worse off after a fight. If I'm not going to get any hospitalizing injuries, I really don't care.
The only exception is if someone is going after my life. Even then, I'll do the minimum amount of harm to them that I possibly can in protecting myself. If someone points a gun at me and I can get out of it without harming them, I'd prefer to do that over killing them.
I consider myself a feminist. I don't believe in enforced or uniform gender roles; they may happen naturally, but they should never be coerced into happening unnaturally. As in, the societal pressure for gender roles should really go, even if it'll turn out that the majority of relationships continue operating the same way of their own accord. I treat women with the same outlook I treat men, and never participate in the old Reddit "women are crazy" circlejerk, because there are multiple women out there and each have different personalities just like there are multiple men out there and each with different personalities. I don't think you do much of anything except scare off the awesome women out there by going on and on about the ones who aren't awesome.
That doesn't mean I look for places to victimize women, I just don't believe it's fair to make generalizations such as the one about women acting like everything's OK when it's really not (and that's a particularly harsh example, because all humans do that).
I'm kind of tired of citing these examples and I'm guessing you're getting tired of reading them, if you've even made it this far. In closing, the people who know me in real life all respect me, as do a great many people in the Reddit brony community, where I spend most of my time and where I'm pretty known for being helpful around the community. A lot of people in my segment of the community are depressed or going through hard times, and I spend a lot of time giving advice and support to people there. Yesterday someone quoted a case of me doing this in a post asking everyone what their favorite motivational/inspirational quote was, and that comment was second to the top, so I guess other people agreed (though, granted, it was a pretty low-traffic post, only about a dozen competing comments).
And, uh, I'm a pretty good moderator.
All that, and I think your behavior in this thread was totally assholish. So what do you think, now that you at least slightly know me?
Ok first of all, my daddy is the best lawyer in all of Manhattan, ok? He has a real life human skull in his office, ok? And my mom is an attorney too, so that's that.
Case closed. All badass Manhattan lawyers have human skulls in their office. I'd like to say they use it to re-enact Hamle, but the truth is that it's for Spirit Cooking practice to ascend the ranks of the Illuminati.
Hey guys, I've just been super curious about the Federalist Papers! Summarize at least 5 main points outlined in the Papers and explain their importance at that point in time!
Nah man, you can slow it down as well. You just need to communicate with the ghouls in the aether and they can use their ectoplasm to functionally slow down the passage of time. I can't believe they didn't tell you that /u/XxxDracoMalphasxxX
Why do people think their posting history is private? or that its creepy to look through someones posting history?
It takes a single click, and you can skim over it in like 2 minutes, depending how retarded they are (if mucho retardo, you read more of it so it takes longer).
It's a fine line between creepy stalking and using deliberately-implimented, public web site features. Like that time I got doxxed just because I posted a link to my Facebook page and directions to my home on Google Maps!
If you saw someone acting like a fucking retard in public, and you had a button which showed you what that person does in their everyday life, wouldn't you press it?
For a troll they've spent an inordinate amount of time making up shitty ms paint pictures for both their own personal subreddit and deviant art. Sadly I think they're legit lol.
I really can't decide, but it's entertaining nonetheless. This is either serious dedication or serious mental illness. I'm hoping it's mental illness though.
i don't even know you lol, ok? Also I'm not stupid, I'm actually a very smart and intelligent person, not like you'd know that. That's why I'm so interested in history and art ok? lol, it's not like you'd get it thought would you?
I'm not the one on trial here, my parents are lawyers and this is defamation right now and also my right to privacy, like lol hello??
I just needed to know this stuff by Monday because that was the goal I set for myself to learn new facts about history, and if I don't learn it then I'll be very disappointed.
Also I haven't researched anything yet because I'm still waiting for someone to help me with it and it's getting kind of late ok so that's not R helpful at all

I don't have any issue with anybody over what type of music they listen to, or clothes they wear, etc. I know that's not really an impressive moral, but it's unfortunately rare; a great many people, especially those my age, are judgmental about these things.
I love everyone, even people I hate. I wish my worst enemies good fortune and happiness. Rick Perry is a vile, piece of shit human being, deserving of zero respect, but I wish for him to change for the better and live the best life possible. I wish this for everyone.
I'm pretty much a pacifist. I've taken a broken nose without fighting back or seeking retribution, because the guy stopped punching after that. The only time I'll fight back is if 1) the person attacking me shows no signs of stopping and 2) if I don't attack, I'll come out worse than the other person will if I do. In other words, if fighting someone is going to end up being more harmful to them than just letting them go will be to me, I don't fight back. I've therefore never had a reason to fight back against anyone in anything serious, because my ability to take pain has so far made it so that I'm never in a situation where I'll be worse off after a fight. If I'm not going to get any hospitalizing injuries, I really don't care.
The only exception is if someone is going after my life. Even then, I'll do the minimum amount of harm to them that I possibly can in protecting myself. If someone points a gun at me and I can get out of it without harming them, I'd prefer to do that over killing them.
I consider myself a feminist. I don't believe in enforced or uniform gender roles; they may happen naturally, but they should never be coerced into happening unnaturally. As in, the societal pressure for gender roles should really go, even if it'll turn out that the majority of relationships continue operating the same way of their own accord. I treat women with the same outlook I treat men, and never participate in the old Reddit "women are crazy" circlejerk, because there are multiple women out there and each have different personalities just like there are multiple men out there and each with different personalities. I don't think you do much of anything except scare off the awesome women out there by going on and on about the ones who aren't awesome.
That doesn't mean I look for places to victimize women, I just don't believe it's fair to make generalizations such as the one about women acting like everything's OK when it's really not (and that's a particularly harsh example, because all humans do that).
I'm kind of tired of citing these examples and I'm guessing you're getting tired of reading them, if you've even made it this far. In closing, the people who know me in real life all respect me, as do a great many people in the Reddit brony community, where I spend most of my time and where I'm pretty known for being helpful around the community. A lot of people in my segment of the community are depressed or going through hard times, and I spend a lot of time giving advice and support to people there. Yesterday someone quoted a case of me doing this in a post asking everyone what their favorite motivational/inspirational quote was, and that comment was second to the top, so I guess other people agreed (though, granted, it was a pretty low-traffic post, only about a dozen competing comments).
And, uh, I'm a pretty good moderator.
All that, and I think your behavior in this thread was totally assholish. So what do you think, now that you at least slightly know me?

Case closed. All badass Manhattan lawyers have human skulls in their office. I'd like to say they use it to re-enact Hamle, but the truth is that it's for Spirit Cooking practice to ascend the ranks of the Illuminati.

/u/XxxDracoMalphasxxX, do your own homework. And there is no way to slow down time. None.
n/a TheMauveHand 2017-02-13
Yeah, you can only speed it up, but it's going to cost you...
n/a P51Mike1980 2017-02-13
Nah man, you can slow it down as well. You just need to communicate with the ghouls in the aether and they can use their ectoplasm to functionally slow down the passage of time. I can't believe they didn't tell you that /u/XxxDracoMalphasxxX

No you stupid. Use Chicago or Turabian for for academic historical papers. Only primary education uses MLA for everything.
u/XxxDracoMalphasxxX is stupid and his (or her) parents should feel ashamed of raising their kid this way.

Why do people think their posting history is private? or that its creepy to look through someones posting history?
It takes a single click, and you can skim over it in like 2 minutes, depending how retarded they are (if mucho retardo, you read more of it so it takes longer).

It's a fine line between creepy stalking and using deliberately-implimented, public web site features. Like that time I got doxxed just because I posted a link to my Facebook page and directions to my home on Google Maps!

For a troll they've spent an inordinate amount of time making up shitty ms paint pictures for both their own personal subreddit and deviant art. Sadly I think they're legit lol.

I really can't decide, but it's entertaining nonetheless. This is either serious dedication or serious mental illness. I'm hoping it's mental illness though.

I just needed to know this stuff by Monday because that was the goal I set for myself to learn new facts about history, and if I don't learn it then I'll be very disappointed. Also I haven't researched anything yet because I'm still waiting for someone to help me with it and it's getting kind of late ok so that's not R helpful at all
