You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, 'Look at that, you son of a bitch.'" - Apollo 14 astronaut, Edgar Mitchell

"I've had the chance, in the world of mathematics, to meet quite a number of 
people, both among my elders and amoung young people in my general age 
group, who were much more brilliant, much more "gifted" than I was. I 
admired the facility with which they picked up, as if at play, new ideas, 
juggling them as if familiar with them from the cradle -- while for myself 
I felt clumsy, even oafish, wandering painfully up an arduous track, like a 
dumb ox faced with an amorphous mountain of things I had to learn (so I was 
assured), things I felt incapable of understanding the essentials or 
following through to the end. Indeed, there was little about me that 
identified the kind of bright student who wins at prestigious competitions 
or assimilates, almost by sleight of hand, the most forbidding subjects. 
In fact, most of these comrades who I gauged to be more brilliant than I 
have gone on to become distinguished mathematicians. Still, from the 
perspective of thirty or thirty-five years, I can state that their imprint 
upon the mathematics of our time has not been very profound. They've all 
done things, often beautiful things, in a context that was already set out 
before them, which they had no inclination to disturb. Without being aware 
of it, they've remained prisoners of those invisible and despotic circles 
which delimit the universe of a certain milieu in a given era. To have 
broken these bounds they would have had to rediscover in themselves that 
capability which was their birthright, as it was mine: the capacity to be 
alone." - Grothendieck

shitposting is subjective, hun

No it's not. Shit posting is posting which doesn't contribute anything to discussion, very clearly defined and objective. This is now meta-shit posting and makes me want to cry.

Let's talk about Fluorine.

Fluorine is the most reactive and most electronegative of all the elements. SO BOW DOWN

This shit doesn't exist in nature in it's elemental form because it's so reactive but it will FUCK YOUR SHIT HARD if you attempt to RELEASE THE BEAST. Don't ask me, though, just ask all those stupid scientists that died trying.

Hydrofluoric Acid; put it in glass Pyrex it's like FUCK THAT SHIT and eats right through it. Iron? No problem. Lead? Fuck you.

Fluoroantimonic Acid; strongest acid know to man. You even think about touching this shit your whole family dies and your stupid cats. ALIEN BLOOD EAT YOUR HEART OUT. You can only store it in a Teflon container, which reminds me..

Polytetrafluoroethylene, aka Teflon; one of the most corrosive resistant and stable compounds known to man. Suzy homemakers reading this better check their panties. You can't fuck with this shit OH, I FORGOT, unless you have...

PERFLUORODECALINE; this shit DISSOLVES teflon. LOLZ, YOU NEED FLUORINE TO BEAT FLUORINE. Bitches. Oh, and you can dissolve a shitload of oxygen in this and BREATHE LIQUID. Well, at least until you don't die from carbon dioxide build-up. But FUCK YOU only pussies die.

Uranium Hexafluoride; you need this to isolate U-235 from naturally occurring Uranium to make an atomic bomb. Yep, that's right bitches, without fluorine all those stupid gooks would still be alive. HA HA!

LOL, FLUORINE FUCKS YOUR SHIT NIGGERS AND YOU KNOW IT
