Dogs love me

It isn't hard to get a dog to like you. It just takes a ton of commitment and a ton of treats.

Dogs love me because I feed them, care for them, play with them, attend to their emotional needs, provide support when they are down, spend time with them, get them toys to play with, make kibble time exciting, take them on frequent walks, take them to the outdoor bathroom frequently, give them long belly-scratching sessions, and talk to them frequently.

double integral

God's favorite form of torture for Calculus III college students. Typically, triple integrals are not even touched by most colleges as students would sooner pass out than shoulder the immense pain of evaluating such nonsense.

With double integrals, you do an integral twice but square the pain.

Before I entered pre-med, I thought I learned the true meaning of pain in my Calculus III class--double integrals.

Surak of Vulcan

Surak was a legendary Vulcan philosopher, scientist, and logician considered the greatest of all who ever lived on Vulcan and the father of the modern Vulcan civilization.

James Tiberius Kirk once described Surak of Vulcan as "the greatest of all who ever lived on our planet, captain. The father of all we became." Then, behind the scenes, Kirk made love to a beautiful goddess and lived happily ever after.

politically conscious

Political consciousness describes a person's awareness of politics. An authentic consciousness is linked to understanding one's true position in history and the effects they can make to promote their personal agenda. Those who are politically conscious always go to the polls on voting day.

Those who use Fox as their primary news source will never be politically conscious for reasons beyond their comprehension.

unsigned int

The word size on a computer. Basically the size of the largest number that can be added/subtracted at one time on a processor. In the x86-64, however, an int stayed the same size as in the x86.

x86 has a word size of 32, and x86-64 has unsigned ints with a size of 32 (wtf?)

moral absolutism

The opposite of moral relativism, moral absolutism refers to belief in absolute moral grounded in God. Note that moral absolutism is both absolute and not absolute. As the magisterium of the Catholic church discerns more of God's truth and we understand His will better, they adapt their absolute definition of morals to reflect the newfound truth. However, this truth has been there all along and we were just doing it the wrong way previously, so it is the absolute truth (I think, but I'm not sure. Too much Catholic politics).

The Catholic church claims to have always followed a principle of moral absolutism. In the middle ages, it was discerned that indulgences were OKAY. After Martin Luther did the East–West Schism, the Catholic church found itself with less power and affluence due to its reduced size, so it went back to the Bible and reinterpreted it to mean that indulgences are NOT OKAY.
