That’s a fantastic talent. Creativity is one thing but quick improvisational creativity is a whole other level

For monologues: do you do ok improv-ing dialogues? If so maybe you could trick your brain by thinking about how a monologuing character is kind of having a dialogue with different parts of themself

Good on you for just casually getting a computational physics degree without inherent math talent… like holy shit that’s impressive!

I have also cried over coursework on linear algebra as well as electricity and magnetism :') Brutal stuff.

With math, is it arithmetic that gives you trouble or the actual symbolic manipulation of mathematics?

I am hot garbage at keeping track of numbers but turn those fuckers into letters and (at least for me) it’s off to the races. Then I just convert everything back to numbers in the last step before jamming it all into a calculator. This method saved my ass in 400-level biochemistry courses. (Annoyed the shit out of the grad students grading my exams, I’m sure…)

You may be better at “math” than you think :]

Here’s a pretty recent paper on this. I only skimmed it but boy does this seem wacky. It is in Nature, though, so I guess it’s at least somewhat serious…?

I just got a new job at a place where my coworkers are really into seasonal decorations, so I’m low key excited for winter

KOBEEEEEE

the melody: 🎶energetic foot stompin barn rompin high tempo banjos & fiddles🎶
the lyrics: this drought is killing my village so we’re turning the last of the grain into whiskey so at least we can die smiling

you’re mother porkin right

they said badly described

Your mom dies, your brother runs away so now your dad spends all his time looking for him, and your village gets overtaken by fascists, oh and you’re like 12. Somehow it’s your job to save the world though.

butt air dryers, like hand air dryers, are good in theory but horrible in practice. they blow toilet air around and blast infectious particles EVERYWHERE :[

the internet is for

1. porn
2. cat pictures
3. poop talk

I was also having the Jerboa startup crashes starting yesterday. Version 0.0.35 fixed it for me (it’s not on vanilla F-Droid yet but it is on the IzzyOnDroid repo)

Oh for sure. Any language sounds intense asf when you’re yelling it. Didn’t mean to hit some nerves by linking a decade old video… I believe the creators meant no harm and I didn’t either :[

If someone who didn’t speak English overheard me greeting my cousins, they’d probably think I was trying to start a fight :P

that’s called having a Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact and living in the US where they shut down all the 3g towers and all the carriers, including MVNOs, blacklisted its VoLTE capability >:[

—passive aggressively typed on the dinner plate of a phone that i had to replace my nice tiny XZ2c with

1. Fight great-uncle, save world
2. Fight dead alien, save world
3. Do dragon acupuncture, end world

looking forward to the day Oddysee isn’t mainly alt right weirdness (I’m not a fan) and tinfoil hat level privacy nerds (I am a fan, but I have other interests too…)

I tried tapping the top area of a comment. It displays a gray bar as click feedback but doesn’t seem to collapse anything. Am I just being a noob?

Edit: updating fixed it :]
