So this phrase of time keeping in the world of My Little Problem, is vexing. The creators didn't want to flex their creative muscles and assign a numeric value to it so I am going to. 1 moon is 8 days, equestrians have 8 days in a week. One Year is 50 Moons, 400 days. 100 moons is 2 years, 800 days. The seasons are 100 days long, or 12.5 moons. That .5 of a moon is wiggle room for screw ups and delays. Additionally, Months are 25 days long and there are 16 of them in a year. If you

I read this story, and hoo boy did it lead me down a rabbithole.

You see, it really got me thinking about pure epistemology again. Over the course of the last year, I have focused more on metaphysics, morality, and the Philosophy of self, but this fic lead to me re-examining the nature of doubt, consciousness, and logic itself.

No, it doesn't have little ponies, but it is something to review. And, since tabletop games and mathematics are tangentially linked educational media I thought it would a give me an excuse to set up a foundation (or at the very least an objective basis) for comparative media. Assuming, that is, I ever get around to reviewing the Ponyfinder campaign, kingmaker, friendship is roleplaying, failure is awesome, and by extension royal decree. To this end I am also reading Conquering Math Phobia, Math

Anyone connected with the world of High Energy Particle Physics, or anyone who reads lots of popular science articles, may have picked up the news that something interesting has been seen at CERN. Maybe.

This week I received my Friendship Games DVD, which, thanks to the tantalizing post-credits ending of Rainbow Rocks, I watched with considerable anticipation. Of course this film was going to destroy my personal theories about the new Twilight Sparkle.

Well…I did it. That’s all I can honestly say without lying to myself. Today’s just been a long day, so I apologize for not updating y’all immediately once I got home at 3, but I’ve just been so exhausted, letting all the pressure out. Everything is riding on this exam and I’m already contemplating backups in case I bomb again (such as using my YouTube channel as a full time gig for income despite knowing absolutely nothing about how to hit 1k in a timely manner for monetization). My parents say

Hi there! It’s me—Pinkie Pie—again. I’m back because my blog post The Pinkie Pie Guide to Irrational and Transcendental Numbers was the most popular thing on Pineta’s blog in 2015, and that seems reason

So, how did I spend my week? Did I write several thousand words? Did I move bookshelves so the library could be repainted? Did I finish sewing a dress and begin an embroidered Gorgoneion?

Well, yes, I did do all of those. But I also went through this remarkably obsessive list of every pony who appears in every episode of FiM, and analyzed the data I collected from that.

I got an 84 on the final :D

Well, technically I got a 72 but then I took it again (I had 3 attempts) and got an 84

So now I have a 78 overall in Calculus (a C+ but it's fucking CALCULUS so I don't mind that much, I care only that I passed and I can go on to Calc III since I have above a C)

Hello my readers perspicacious and pulchritudinous![1]

Let's just assume that I've made the requisite announcements[2] and disclaimers[3], shall we? Then we can continue.

I love being normal, I mean transphobic.
Math is also transpho-
Oh wait, I forgot, math is racist.

The Latinx Movement is dripping with "American" stupidity.

Black people can't do simple math? - Must be that math is systematically racist.
White people can't understand simple Spanish grammar? - Must be that Spanish is transphobic.

So I decided today to post my Rainbow Dash flying speed findings on Reddit, and in doing so I noticed a really big, stupid mistake I made.

Remember how 28mph sounded really slow?

Well, it turns out I accidentally counted the time per lap as 11 seconds, but looking at the footage again it's more like 4. I have no idea how that happened, but I'm really surprised none of us caught it sooner.

Today is Ada Lovelace Day, which is the day to celebrate achievements of women, past and present, in science and technology, and thus inspire the next generation. With Sunset Shimmer's help, I sent a set of scientific biographies through a portal into Equestria and asked our favorite ponies to pick a favorite human.

This Message Was Inspired By Shining Armor And Twilight Sparkle.

Well I got a 64% on that test. That’s a D and a 42/65, only 10 points higher than the last test which I didn’t even finish. All I can say in response to that is…………………

Fuck.
