I thought to myself when I saw this, “no. This has to be some one being silly. This has to be something some one fabricated to make microsoft look worse and people just aren’t checking the source.”
NOPE. IT’S REAL.
AND IT GOT WORSE:

WHAT.

I want everyone to think long and hard on this information.
This means that you are not buying your games.  You are paying 60+ dollars to rent the games from Microsoft, and they can take their game back whenever they feel like it.
You will not own your game.  You will not own your console.  Essentially, Microsoft is saying “We can disable your games and cut you off from accessing your console whenever we choose to.”  Because a ban that locks your XBox Live account means that you will be locked out from all non-game functionality of the system, and by revoking your ‘licenses’ on all your games associated with your account, they can then disable each and every game you own for the system.  Leaving you with a five hundred dollar cable receiver.  Or, in the case of most users of the console, a five hundred dollar paperweight.
All because you accidentally walked into some online glitch and the rest of the players rage-report you for cheating.
This is unacceptable.  Buy any console but an XBox One.  Do not support Microsoft’s sudden belief that they own everything despite our purchase of it, and we have to prove we’re worthy of being shared with by paying exorbitant fees and jumping through constant hoops and hoping someone doesn’t report us for cheating because we made them mad in an online game.
Tell Microsoft ‘No,’ and do not give them your hard-earned money for what amounts to a video game subscription service with a $500 starting fee and $60+ dollar purchases.

This is more than beyond ridiculous.

This is beyond ridiculous at this point.
Anyone who is still considering buying the XBox One is doing nothing for themselves or the gaming industry. 
I’ll stick with my 360 and/or jump ship. They put out everything I care about there as well.

HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS?!

Why do I learn more about math from Tumblr than my 12+ years of formal education????????

No math teacher ever taught me this trick. Got damn.

This is great and all if you know how to subtract things from 100

Ok, let me show you how this thing works.

Say you have two numbers A and B {in the example above 97 and 96} these two numbers can be represented by (100-x) and (100-y) {in the example above x = 3 because 100 – 3 = 97 => 100 – 97 = 3 and y = 4}. Now since A = (100-x) and B=(100 – y) therefore A*B = (100-x)*(100-y).

So if you want to multiply A*B it is the exact same as multiplying (100-x)*(100-y).

Good, so lets expand this sucker

(100-x)*(100-y)=100*100 – x*100 – y*100 -x*-y

So now lets combine things creativity

=(100 – x – y)*100 + x*y

=(100 – (x+y))*100 + x*y

So now you see it. 100-(x+y) shows up in the hundreds place {100-(3+4)=93 in this example} and x*y shows up in the ones place {3*4 = 12 in this example} thus giving the solution {9312}

Now what does that mean, well it means you can use this trick in a much wider application…

Like numbers close to different multiples of 10. For example 1000.

993 * 996

{1000 – 993 = 7}

{1000 – 996 = 4}

{1000 – (7+4) = 1000 – 11 = 989}

{7*4 = 028}

Therefore the first number now goes in the thousands place and the second in the ones place. Meaning

993*996 = 989028

We can also use it for numbers close to numbers that don’t start with 1 like 200.

192*195

{200 – 192 = 8}

{200 – 195 = 5}

{200 – (8+5) = 200 – 13 = 187}

Since 187 shows up in the 200’s place we need to multiply it by 2 to get the number that shows up in the 100’s place thus (187 *2 = 374)

{8*5 = 40}

Thus

192*195=37440

Have Fun!

I HATE MY COUNTRY’S EDUCATION SYSTEM OKAY

IF THE JAPANESE CAN HAVE GRID MULTIPLICATION AND IF SOME OTHER COUNTRIES TEACH IT THIS WAY

WHY THE FUCK CANT WE HAVE A LEARNABLE APPROACH TO THIS SHIT?!

Not. Fair.

One of the funniest segments ever lol

I don’t care what anyone says. This was one of my favorite feuds of all time.

Of. All. Time.
