A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Culture plays into it too. For example here in Finland, school grades are from 4 (failed) to 10, and that ends up skewing how you see any scale from 1 to 10.
As a bit of trivia, originally there were grades lower than 4, but at some point it was decided it wasn't necessary to determine just how badly you failed. Knowing that you did should be enough. So all the failing grades were bundled up into one, which ended up being the previously highest failing grade.
US schools definitely mess with your head the higher of an achiever you are.
In remedial classes, in most places, 60 is passing.
In normal classes, in most places, 70 is passing.
In advanced classes, you may be kicked out for scoring under 80.
The intuitive concept of "barely good enough" keeps getting higher as you perform better, plus of course each of these types of classes are progressively more difficult by their nature. It really fucks with people who are excellent in some subjects but average in others.
"D" is for Diploma.
Is that percentage of points or just an arbitrary grade scale?
Because that's quite funny compared to the (non-US) university I attend where you pass the difficult classes with "just" 33% of points.
Percentage of points. So if you get half of the questions wrong on a test, you fail. In some cases, teachers will grade “on a curve”, meaning they normalize the class scores. My organic chem teacher in college liked to make extremely difficult tests, so you’d get 40% or something awful like that and it would turn out that nobody in the class scored over 50% so you actually got an A.
Weird way to say I don't care but actually I care a lot
I just realized that 6 is basically a dick pictogram
Legit read this as 'Dicktogram'.
The social media we really need...n't.
There's a hilarious Soviet math joke about it
Hell yeah dude nice cock
Is 6/10 the new 5/7?
A perfect score... I thought it was but a legend.
Came into this post for this comment
Why not 6/9
Nice.
If talking with a woman and she asks you to rate her:
"Hmm, let's see 9.5... nope, wait, hold on,..."
Fix a hair on her head or move your head around like you're looking at the Mona Lisa
"Nope, 10 out of ten. Absolute perfection."
Then smile, and look her in the eyes (or forehead if you're shy)
The touch will help increase intimacy level, but if you lean in and she leans back, then you don't have permission to touch her then do the head bobs like you're examining a really nice piece of art.
Bonus points: Make sure you look her up and down with your eyes as she's unconsciously seeing that you're looking at her whole picture.
At least that my default on how I handle questions like that.
Instructions unclear I stuck a finger in her eye and she punched me
"I touched her face, she touched mine. We'll both remember this moment forever…" 🌀
Please don't "look her up and down". Nobody I know would want to be checked out by an acquaintance or first date like that, and she is most certainly not "unconsciously" seeing you check her out. She's painfully aware of it.
If it's someone you're actually dating already for a few months, then different story. But if it's a stranger you're on your first date with, then please don't do this.
The mean is drawn from the average measurement of length (cm/inches). The middle of the scale (5-6/10) should represent high and low variations in the mean.
Assumes rating quality is only based on length, does it not?
According to Randy Marsh, the formula is [(length x diameter) + (weight / girth)] / angle of tip²
Is that college DeSantis?
When I was younger I really didn't get societal norms super well, a girl asked me to rate her and I thought she was not ugly, not gorgeous, I gave her a 7 out of 10. She was offended lol. Didn't even realize she was flirting with me until years later lmao
What a stupid way to flirt
You fell for one of the oldest tricks in the book.
In the future, when a girl asks you to rate her, the answer is always 10.
What you don't tell her is that you were using binary.
