Since circles have infinitely-many sides
Nah, man, an infinitely-sided thing can just approximate a circle. A legit circle is a smooth curve. Here, have a fun little thing that's vaguely relevant.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

But a smooth circle is impossible due to the fact it'd need to be made up of atoms. Really, a smooth circle is hypothetical.
What if we make a circle out of single atom?

atom is made of atom

therefore it is impossible

you want to go with subatomic particles

Atoms aren't circular, dagnabbit!

I have a friend odd enough to have set an alarm for 4:20 just to confuse other people. This both worries me and makes me happy, so I guess it fits here.

i'm so fucking nineties i walked through airport security with a fanny pack and nobody wanted to stick hands into my anus
One of my friends traveling to America raised some hilarious flags. He was Algerian and had recently traveled to Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey and Sudan to visit family and they kept asking him questions like "Did you go to any camps?" and "You aren't black?"

Tell that to hydrogen.
1) The probability distribution of an electron in hydrogen is a perfectly symmetrical sphere.
2) The nucleus of hydrogen is a proton, and single proton should be symmetrical.
3) Even if it isn't symmetrical, the electron itself most probably is.

Newsflash: protons and electrons aren't actually spherical.

Thus far, it seems that sub atomic particles are made of sub-sub atomic particles. It's looking like it's particles all the way down!

Nope, it's become pretty clear that quarks and electrons are not made of sub-sub atomic particles.

Well, my mom told her boyfriend that we're moving out.

He started screaming at her, but when I went upstairs he was acting all happy about it. Said he was glad that we were leaving.

I'm hoping that there's no bullshit between now and when we do move out. At least, no more than usual, I mean. It seems as though he's been getting progressively worse since the start of this year.

My advice? Take anything valuable and give it to someone you trust until you've moved...

The only things I have of value would be my TV and my laptop, and at least my laptop is always nearby, since I need it for school. I don't have too much of value.

My mom said she's going to give a lot of her stuff to my nan while we move.
