120-cell] My most favorite video tool, seriously. It makes explaining 120's so much easier. "This short computer graphics animation presents the regular 120-cell: a four dimensional polytope composed of 120 dodecahedra and also known as the hyperdodecahedron or hecatonicosachoron. The figure is built up through a sequence of subsequent foldings: 5 segments form a pentagon, 12 pentagons form a dodecahedron and eventually 120 dodecahedra form the 3D shadow of a 120-cell."

"I have no idea why this was in my head, but I think it's yours:

The fennec comes in
on little fox feet.

It sits lurking
on the forum and channel
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

"I also finally realized why Chaos Terminators have gigantic tusks." (I'll bite. Why?) "Because once every century during Terra's springtime, all the Chaos Terminators gather in a secluded world in the eye of Terra.

"Assbraying: what people use for rebuttals when they take pot shots at each other rather than acknowledge that everyone has the right to hold an opinion, even if it's not popular. Assbraying syntax such as "You're a racist!", "You're a liberal!", "You're a fundy", "You're a sinner", "You're a misogynist/androgynist", "You're whitesplaining", "You're blacksplaining", or some other negatively-applied label are usually contained in their statement. The assbrayer will then clarify that it isn't his or her intention to rile anyone up, and that they can't be held accountable for their assbrays because "they're true!" Assbrayers usually lack diplomacy skills because they're speaking right off the top of their heads rather than formulating an intelligent response.

Diplomacy: the art of dealing with people in a sensitive and effective way." - Cer

MSC NONSENSE
Nifty online Social Attitude Test
Political Values
Progressivism 42.5
Socialism 68.75
Tenderness 59.375

Your test scores indicate that you are an open-minded cultural centrist; this is the political profile one might associate with a protective parent. It appears that you are tolerant towards religion, and have a pragmatic attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a social democrat.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a kind-hearted principled egalitarian with few strong convictions.
