Avengers #24.NOW

I think we’re burying the lead. Thor made veggie burgers and that is hilarious

BRING FORTH THE PIES

THEY HAVE MADE READY SUCH PASTRIES 😀

SUCH PASTRIES

WITH VIGOR

How has nobody commented on the fact that a LOBSTER defeated Thor

Lobster is a fucking nightmare to prepare. He’s a Nordic god, not a miracle worker.

“in this essay i will explore” memes piss me off because it implies y’all still using first person pronouns when writing academically. childish ass

In this essay, this writer will explore the implications of pretending that one’s own personal view is not part of one’s essay, and the inaccessibility of academia related to established custom of artificial detachment.

In this essay, I will demonstrate that the blanket ban on first-person pronouns in high-school and some university English classes is poorly understood and hastily adopted as a result. I will further illustrate that it is a mere substitute for explaining to inexperienced writers that excessive use of phrases like “I think” or “I believe” is unnecessary and rhetorically weakens academic writing, and that opinions expressed in an essay are already assumed to be those of the author. Finally, I will address strategies for effectively conveying that information to students, who often find it difficult to grasp.

In this essay, passive voice will be used throughout in order to distance the work done from any researchers, or, in reality, kind of imply all experiments were done by magical lab gremlins and the results were simply recorded. 

in this essay, enlightenment will descend upon you without the agency of any living being. you will know things, yet know not how you know.

prepare yourself. it begins.

In this essay, I will use the first person pronoun as a bludgeoning weapon

“My people have a tale, about a Prince –– much hated by his King –– who was banished to the underworld and jailed there. The evil King gave him the most difficult labor –– working the iron pits.  

Year after year the Prince mined the heavy ore, becoming so strong he could crush pieces of it together with his bare hands. Too late, the King realized his mistake. 

When he struck at the Prince with his finest sword – it broke in half. 

The Prince himself had become strong as iron.” 

–– Iron Man (2008), original script

WHY DIDN’T THEY KEEP THAT IN THE SCRIPT???????
