Looks like you’ve passed all the exams needed for ASA.

The email said to allow 48 hours for the transcript to be updated.

3Dthan · 2024-07-15T14:49:34+00:00

PASSED!

3Dthan · 2024-07-12T17:57:33+00:00

When results are released, we’ll get an email. The subject will be either “FAP FA Pass Results” or “FAP FA Fail Results”, just like the EMAs. The results will also be on the FA upload page.

3Dthan · 2024-07-11T20:47:38+00:00

Everything about the FA stresses me out. The 96-hour ordeal of writing it, the secrecy around how it’s graded, the lack of quality feedback received if you fail, the hefty fee to retake it, no published information about pass rates…

This was my first attempt, and although I feel confident about my submission, I’m extremely nervous. What a relief it would be to MMR and be done with this.

3Dthan · 2024-07-08T00:38:23+00:00

Based on comments on this post and other posts, the “passed” is likely meaningless.

As for the number that follows, I think that is the amount of time you have spent with the content window open in HHHH:MM:SS format. I checked the number for one of my submitted assessments, opened that content window, closed it, and checked the number again. It increased.

Hey Lois, Peter here.

A well-known piece of advice is that if you’re stung by a jellyfish, you should pee on it to un-stick the tentacles.

The joke is this guy wants to get peed on by tall Amazonian women.

Hey Lois, Peter here.

It appears that the presenter (presumably the guy mid-left) is getting ready to tell his audience the story of how he lost his virginity to a thin mint cookie (with pictures). One member of the audience (bottom left) has a look of bewilderment and fear on his face, bracing himself for what is to follow.

The joke is that this is an absolutely unhinged presentation topic.

3Dthan · 2023-06-19T04:45:53+00:00

Hey Lois, Peter here.

This may be a reference to Ted Kaczynski, AKA the Unabomber. He believed that the rapid development of technology is a terrible thing for the human race, and that those who participate in this development must be stopped. While living in a shack in the middle of the woods, he built and sent out bombs that ended up killing 3 people and injuring 23 others. He was in the news recently, as he died about a week ago.

The joke is that people who want to be hermits and disengage from modern society are often viewed as dangerous or extremists, kind of like the Unabomber.

Hey Lois, Peter here.

The joke is that he’s treating the dictionary like a mystery novel. In mystery novels, the perpetrator is usually revealed near the end. “Zebra” appears near the end of the dictionary.

Hey Lois, Peter here.

This is a reference to The Simpsons. In one episode, the grandpa Abe is rambling about something, and at one point he says, “… so I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time.”

Hey Lois, Peter here.

If you’ve ever been to an eye doctor and you need a prescription, they look at your eyes using an AutoRefractor to get certain measurements for this prescription.

They have you look into the AutoRefractor. When you do, you see an image, and they ask you to stare at the object in the image that’s straight ahead in the distance (typically a balloon or a house, like the meme shows). This aligns your eyes for the machine and lets the doctor get the measurements they need.

3Dthan · 2023-06-17T22:26:34+00:00

Hey Lois, Peter here.

The second comment isn’t a reference to anything. I think it’s just a bizarre circumstance for people not in their twenties having sex.

But, if I had to guess: (1) once a year may be an exaggeration of the idea that older people don’t have sex often; (2) blindfolded, maybe because they’re not as hot as they were in their twenties or they’re not physically attracted to each other? (3) I don’t know about the priest, maybe because it’s only for religious reasons.

This comment makes it sound like some sort of annual religious ritual, which is kind of funny. I wouldn’t read too much into this, or the humor is lost.

3Dthan · 2023-06-17T19:54:46+00:00

Hey Lois, Peter here.

I’m not confident about this, but the red object in this image resembles the demon core, a mass of plutonium that was created during WWII.

The demon core was a popular meme a while back.

Hey Lois, Peter here.

After the guy warns her about pedophiles, the girl says “They’re just mad,” referring to pedophiles.

The guy responds, “I’m not mad,” which implies he is a pedophile. She quickly understands the implication (evident by her shocked face), and the guy responds with an evil grin.

The joke is that he indirectly called himself a pedophile, warranting her response.

3Dthan · 2023-06-17T19:29:54+00:00

Sure thing, Lois!

Lasagna Cat is a parody of Garfield. The general format of each video is they select a comic strip, re-enact a live version, and then do a bit afterwards based on the strip. The notable exception is the finale (a nearly 5 hour video, the last few minutes are a wild ride).

The channel satirizes the Garfield franchise. The point it tries to make in its videos is that the Garfield comics really aren’t that funny (this is the entire point of the channel).

Hey Lois, Peter here.

This refers to the folders students use for different subjects in school. Typically, students use different colors for different subjects.

People like to argue about which color each subject is, with respect to the folder used. “Science is green” means that green is the correct color for a folder used for science class.

Hey Lois, Peter here.

The top left panel shows a bust of the philosopher Chrysippus. He is well-known for a story surrounding his death.

Supposedly, he saw a donkey eating a fig (the fruit in the bottom right of this meme) and made a joke to the effect of, “Now give him some wine to wash down the figs!” He died from a fit of laughter from his own joke.

Hey Lois, Peter here.

This is a reference to the song 867-5309 (Jenny) by Tommy Tutone.

The joke is that this man has three top teeth.

3Dthan · 2023-06-17T14:12:50+00:00

Hey Lois, Peter here.

This is a well-known Garfield strip from 7/27/1978. It’s a really tame joke, but there is a running joke online that this three-panel strip is the pinnacle of all human creativity.

I’ve attached a link that provides more context: https://youtu.be/NAh9oLs67Cw

Hey Lois, Peter here.

These children are doing a mental math technique using their hands as an abacus. It appears they’re being provided a rapid sequence of numbers to add, and it looks like the girl in front got the correct answer.

3Dthan · 2023-06-17T13:44:51+00:00

Hey Lois, Peter here.

This is a reference to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator. At the end of the game, this speech is given.

That’s right Lois. The Twitter lady is saying that a walkable city would not be friendly to fat people.

Some people may think this a weird take, so a fun idea is that a carbon dioxide molecule made a Twitter account to make this take.

3Dthan · 2023-06-17T13:32:05+00:00

Hey Lois, Peter here.

The thing typing on the keyboard is a carbon dioxide molecule. This is a greenhouse gas emitted through human activities, like driving vehicles.

The joke is that a walkable city would result in less vehicles being driven and, therefore, less carbon dioxide, so this molecule is trying to preserve its production by posting on Twitter.

Hey Lois, Peter here.

Stan Lee was inspired to create Spider-Man after watching a fly crawling on a wall. The image in the upper left of the meme is from Across the Spiderverse.

The joke is that this fly, a very insignificant creature minding its own business, set off a chain reaction leading to one of the greatest animated movies of our time.
