when people say “kids are growing up too fast” because they aren’t virgins, do drugs, are in relationships, etc. - all i can say is “if that’s what you consider ‘growing up’, it must be why your maturity is stunted.”

People are being passive aggressive again.
![Chaos Theory is a very important area of mathematics which can explain a lot of what we see in the real world. A pendulum with one mass is relatively easy to explain mathematically, and it behaves nicely. However if you put another mass in there, it behaves chaotically. Technically, this means that if you change the starting positions only slightly, the state of the system a short time later can change drastically. The weather is chaotic- a small error in measuring it today could be the difference between rain and no rain in a weeks days time. Watch these two pendulum systems quickly diverge, though they both start off with nearly the same settings. [more] [code]
In 1975 Mandelbrot published The Fractal Geometry of Nature, which became a classic of chaos theory.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_loshhy8REd1qfg7o3o1_400.gif)

Save the Toronto Public Libraries!
I don’t know how many of my followers are from Toronto, but basically the Mayor has is planning to start closing down public libraries in a systematic attack on public services under the guise of saving money. Please sign this petition to let Mayor Ford know that public libraries are an essential public service. Like all the other public services Ford plans to cut.
how has he not been killed yet
he’s an absolute moron. refused to go to pride, hates bikes and homeless people
da fuck toronto, pull your shit together
Exactly, I fucking hate Ford.
