If Earth Had Rings

First off, they would be really pretty to look at. They would also dominate the sky in both night and day at exactly the same place as they would never rise nor set. And at night you would see the Earth’s shadow swing across the rings, like in the 4th photo here.

However, life would be very different on Earth if this were the case. Nocturnal animals would have a hard time being nocturnal, as the light reflecting from the rings would illuminate the night.

Because we are closer to the Sun than Saturn is, the rings would be more rocky than ice, making them less bright but still pretty bright. In fact, you would see far less stars at night (living anywhere other than the equator or the arctic circle) because of the light pollution and not to mention ruin most meteor showers because of that.

During the day the rings would block sunlight in certain regions of the planet creating wild weather cycles and effecting plant life as well. So basically, they would be definitely pretty to look at but they would also make a whole lot of things screwy.

Thought you couldn’t hate Obama any more than you already do?  This is absolutely absurd.  Just the mere fact that he would ask (order) a Marine to do this shows he has no concept of respect.  Think this is photoshopped?  I got it from the CNN website.  It’s completely true.  Do a web search and you’ll see multiple sources.  This President is absolutely worthless.

Title ten of the Armed Forces US Code says that members of the military do what is asked of them by their  Commander in Chief.  The man next to them is the Prime Minister of  Hungary.  It would be bad show to let the rain fall on the head of a visiting diplomat, and any Marine on Presidential duty is honored to be there.  This is not about the umbrellas, it is about treating visiting dignitaries with honor and respect.  To only have an umbrella over the head of Prime Minister Orban would be a sign of superiority or strength over the visiting PM.  The president did the correct thing in the situation by showing enough respect for his fellow leader and giving them both an equal platform.

Y’all need to stop freaking the fuck out over stupid shit like umbrellas.

Ladies and gentlemen I give you Exhibit A

Exhibit B
and Exhibit C
Now i’m not that this is a scandal because of Obama’s race, or his political party, or because of anything else. What I am saying is that the pictures above WEREN’T scandals. Why are umbrellas so important all of a sudden?

I love this scene

 this scene still gives me chills

Fucking terrifying. Hate that movie! 

As a child, no horror movies could scare me. Blair Witch, Scream, Child’s Play, The Ring, NO matter the movie, it could not best me…until Signs. 

 which is weird, cause it’s not really THAT scary of a movie…

…yet…the scene when they’re in the basement and the hand grabs the son. MERCY ME!

Personal shit

Told my mom that while, yes I did get a promotion, I am getting less hours. Her response was “You have to pay me more rent”. Uhm, did you not just hear what I said….? Told her i’m saving up for a car so I can move the hell out of this place, she says she doesn’t care and needs more money. YET, she says nothing to her unemployed boyfriend who has been living with us for the past month and a half.

When you’re a kid you look at adults and think “they got it figured out, they know what’s going on”, now I can’t take my mother seriously. She has my respect as a mother, but I really don’t respect her as a person. Shes delusional, hypocritical, thinks she’s never wrong and only willing to see her side of an argument.
