Im someone who def wants a house not apartment

#

consider the fact that apartments get more expensive and expensive rapidly

velvet dagger
#

Oh I'm thinking condo, like an apartment that you own

timid bronze
#

but if we need to do an apartment i dont mind not like im not adaptable

#

fair

glass peak
#

All housing in all of the western world is getting more and more expensive rapidly and it’s not looking to slow down

timid bronze
#

but tbh i still like my own house

#

own graden

#

able to run in the backyard

velvet dagger
#

Ah okay so it's not just about renting, you do like the land and all

#

That's valid!

Yo if anyone is interested in competing for a DESMOS Math Art contest with a potential win for a chick-fil-a gift card lmk in DMs ill tell u the steps, there are currently only 5 ppl which i have doing it so you most likely will have a good shot.

#

ummmm

#

sounds shady

#

also crossposting

timid bronze
glass peak
#

Yeah I think that’s fair

timid bronze
#

apartments seem ideal shortterm

velvet dagger
#

Yeah the solution to housing getting expensive is to just try and own your house

#

Like there are two separate questions here

timid bronze
#

i didnt know u could own condos tho

glass peak
#

I’m personally fine with living in a flat because I like living in a city

timid bronze
#

Yea fair

velvet dagger
#

Oh yeah you can!

glass peak
#

But I’m not at all opposed to having a garden and growing vegetables and stuff

idc ab a pool but i do want my kids to have a swing or those playsets or smth

#

plus pools r too much work to clean fr

velvet dagger
# velvet dagger Like there are two separate questions here

Do you want one unit in a building, a townhome (so attached on the left and right but you have the whole whole and maybe a bit of space in front/behind), or a fully detached house with land on 4 sides

And owning vs renting

For me, def owning, once I work I wanna buy a place almost right away and pay it off in a few years

glass peak
#

The fact I passed probability never mind did as well as I did is nothing short of a small miracle

velvet dagger
#

As for which type I see arguments in each direction

true zinc
#

probability is shiver

#

I would love to own somewhere some day, I think the thought of paying a land leaches mortgage is sickening, but I don’t see that ever happening

#

i dislike townhouses

timid bronze
#

i plan to live w my parents for a few years to save money

#

and split some w my partner

whats the difference as long as you have a lawn

also i just like rhat houses r a bit more closed and personal

Unit in a building/condo/owned apartment: the building might have nice amenities, maintenance is offloaded, but you're closer to neighbors so noise and all. But you're firmly in the city

Detached you have to do maintenance and no amenities but 100% privacy. Probably in suburbia which means more space but less close to nice things in the city

Townhome: probably in the city so there's a bunch of stuff that's accessible by walking. Less privacy than a townhome, no amenities

timid bronze
#

ngl im not a city girl

#

i like my suburbs

#

(not next to a farm tho cuz i dont enjoy smelling cow shit every morning no please)

velvet dagger
#

Yeah farms are a no for me

As for city vs suburbia... I see the case both ways idk it's hard

glass peak
#

The thought of living in car dependent suburbs with nothing around sounds like my idea of personal hell

timid bronze
#

some cities r so loud and honking

#

and some cities can be dangerous

glass peak
#

I mean I kinda grew up in it and I have 0 desire to ever return to it

velvet dagger
#

That's the plan :P

timid bronze
#

yea i barely lived in the cities but

#

suburbs feel so home to me

#

plus many suburb houses r so pretty

velvet dagger
#

Yeah the privacy is very nice

timid bronze
#

oke huge thing an apartments (not all apartments) is that

#

if ur trying to sleep and

#

someones vacuuming next door

#

and u can hear

#

😭

velvet dagger
#

Oh yeah neighbor noise would suck

timid bronze
#

again some apartments not all obv

jagged forge
#

or someone's kid is stomping above you

#

or some crazy person is yelling for like an hour

timid bronze
velvet dagger
#

If I'm gonna have an apartment I def wanna buy in a building with strong sound insulation

jagged forge
#

also one time a neighbor threw a wooden plank on my balcony i think because i was laughing too loud (bro it was like 3pm)

#

that was fucked

glass peak
#

I think living directly above the Main Street with all the clubs and stuff in my first year of uni has just desensitised me to all of that

jagged forge
#

nope

#

a wooden plank just landed on my balcony

timid bronze
#

did it jumpscare u bad

yea skully

#

yea this is why i dont live in apartments

except im someone who wants a house thatd fit my ideal family size

#

i dont want a huge house

too much work to clean and idc

#

Tbh I’m not inherently opposed to like suburbs, I just think they’re generally built horrifically these days

velvet dagger
#

But yeah I was thinking, okay if I had like, idk 2000 sq ft apartment in a building with amenities and very nice sound insulation

It's really a coin flip whether I'd take that or a detached house

jagged forge
#

2000 sq ft apt DAMN

#

bruh that's like nearly my parents whole house

#

I think because I heavily disliked living in suburban Dallas as just being soooooo boring I'm somewhat drawn to being a city

i wouldnt mind 1 tho

just definitely not more rhan 3

For me I'm vaguely thinking 3 or less but my wife will be the one who decides since she bears the brunt of the burden

omg i would be so. happy for twins lowkey

#

maybe double the watermelon but

#

twins r so cute

velvet dagger

You guess what?

ig that's true

I don’t think kids is something I can ever see myself wanting, I don’t really understand the appeal

yea dealing with a newborn baby probably sucks a lot of the time but

Help

#

an older guy asked how old i am and called me beautiful

forest drum
#

How old are you?

how much older skully

timid bronze

likee bro my eyes r partially red cuz i got sunscreen in my eyes im chopped rn.

oof

im 19

forest drum
#

How old is he?

#

Estimated if you don't know

jagged forge
#

still weird to get that from a random person

#

in any case

forest drum
#

Yeah, but it could get weirder

velvet dagger
#

Yeah it's a bit odd out of the blue

jagged forge
#

feels like if ur first question to someone is "how old are u" ur too old lol

#

or you're 8 years old and ask everyone that question

timid bronze
#

Oh no he didnt ask immediately and it didnt seem like harm

jagged forge
#

ah

timid bronze
#

he just seemed curious

#

cuz hes also ethiopian

#

more like a person excited to see another person from their background

#

and he seems genuinely nice

#

im not creeped out i just wanted to say i feel too chopped rn for rhat cuz my eyes r a bit red

jagged forge
#

ah i just thought it was just a random person saying that as you were passing by or smth lol

i mean i was i just saw them when i was tryna exit a building

Ahhhhh okay

Also ill gladly date a whatever 40 year old if hes fine.

I just meant saying "if he's fine" was hilarious

Ur making me sound like a gold digger fr.

Wait fineness is about looks rather than gold I thought

#

I just thought the quasi gen z terminology was amusing

Yes fineness is looks

velvet dagger

Just like, you were just being guilty of even having a max and I was like pfft your max is generous

Also LMAO

#

I SAW THAT

dreamy ore
#

observe that
i^1 is at (0, 1) in the complex plane (here were treating the complex plane as if it was just the xy plane)
i^2 is at (-1, 0)
i^3 is at (0, -1)
and i^0 = i^4 is at (1, 0)

we can see that the powers of i are on the unit circle, rotating by π/2

so what about sqrt(i)? we can make an educated guess that it would be halfway between 1 and i, aka a π/4 rotation from 1, so sqrt(i) might be equal to cis(π/4) = cos(π/4) + i sin(π/4)

and we can see that this is actually true
@bleak eagle @wanton bough

bleak eagle
#

damn

dreamy ore
#

so we can see that in general the powers of i follow this

wanton bough
wild lantern
#

Let them cook

wanton bough
wild lantern
#

Actually idk the context

dreamy ore
#

and we can derive these 2 properties from that definition of cis(θ)

wild lantern
#

Cos(t)+isin(t) is cis(t)

wanton bough
dreamy ore
#

using the 2nd property we can write

ocean harbor
#

wtf is cis

coarse bridge
#

cos + i sin

dreamy ore
#

as the left side isnt a function of a, the right side isnt either

#

so ln(cis(a))/a must be a constant

#

lets now calculate this constant

#

rewriting ln(cis(a))/a, we can write

#

which looks suspiciously like the definition of a derivative

#

if only we add a limit where a -> 0

#

but this is a constant anyway so adding the limit doesnt matter

#

so calculating,

#

so ln(cis(a))/a = i

dreamy ore
#

:p

#

@wild lantern this was the context :p

#

its my unrigorous but intuitive derivation of eulers formula

#

i didnt like the taylor series proofs cuz they require far too much prerequisite knowledge

#

so i came up with this

wild lantern
#

What you'll often see in complex analysis is this as a definition

#

But that feels a little disappointing

#

So it is good to think of intuitive reasons for why it should be the case imo

dreamy ore
#

yeah i didnt like "we define cosine as this power series" cuz

#

then i have to explain why thats true

#

so this intuitive explanation was nice imo

dreamy ore
haughty lion
#

Define sin as the unique solution of the ODE y''+y=0, y(0)=y'(0)-1=0

dreamy ore
#

when theres no real obvious reason it should be related

dreamy ore
haughty lion
#

Just do ODEs first

dreamy ore
#

doesnt help if im trying to explain this to someone who doesnt know odes

haughty lion
#

Or if you have defined sine, you probably know the derivatives of sin

dreamy ore
#

ykw u win

#

👍

#

i have no intent to argue with u

The bigger problem is the unique existence of solutions to linear unique value problems

Hi guys, I came here seeking help and advice

So I've been studying CS for the past few years, and I always thought math wasn't necessary, as long as you got the basics (the basics that sadly I thought I had, but I didn't) and I neglected math from way before like from middle school till now (Senior year in CS), I recently realized that I love math and I was really wrong about what I thought before, which got me to subscribe to a full math courses to start over, and in the start I have been struggling with multiplication computations (I can do from 1-10) in maybe 10 seconds in each question give or take (and I can do larger than that but it takes more than 10 seconds), and I thought that I really should work on that and try to improve my computing skills since I started working from the basics aiming to be really good at math, the goal was make fast computation to be from 10s to 4s max by practice before I continue my math course (I'm currently in multiplication section), my question is does it really matter to try to improve how fast I can do computations ? because I've really been struggling, not with the task itself but because it takes a lot of time and effort I procrastinate a lot, which resulted in a thing that should be done in a week or two to a whole month and a few weeks, and I stopped doing the course because I wanted a strong foundation before I proceed with course, so I ask again; do fast computations make a difference ? should I really take the time and effort to compute fast ?

A few friends said I'm wasting my time being a perfectionist, and I should just continue with the course, fast computations can be done with calculators, and eventually I will lose the skill of fast computation with time.

wet beacon

fast computations don't matter, unless you're trying to calculate tips or something

solid snow
#

imo do not spend dedicated time trying to get better at arithmetic

#

if you like CS learn discrete math

wet beacon
lavish hare
#

You definitely do not need any computational skills for CS math

wet beacon
#

Thanks guys @lavish hare @solid snow

lavish hare
#

You will rarely compute something explicitly, and if you do, you can just use a calculator

wet beacon
#

Do you guys think I should change the order of how I'm taking the courses ? I did it with a friend and since I came here for advice why not ask this too:

From top to bottom:

Basics of math
Algebra 1,2
Geometry
Discrete math
Trigonometry & Precalculus
Calculus 1
Calculus 2
Linear Algebra
Calculus 3
Statistics and probability
Differential equations

solid snow

Seems fine

#

In 2 days I give finals on math any tips to prepare till then?

winged pawn
#

i remember we covered stuff like generating functions and recurrence relations in our discrete math course, knowing calculus 2 can help with understanding infinite sum manipulation and stuff

#

not necessary tho

warm umbra
#

welcome to the server @wet beacon

willow schooner
#

in my case we learn discrete math after taking a required proofs course that all stem majors are required to take

#

i wouldn't require calculus before discrete math but you should be comfortable with thinking in proofs and have the basic concepts, ideas, and tools involved in doing math

magic thistle
#

So which one is a good GPA booster

#

Number Theory or Game Theory?

latent edge
elfin smelt
#

whether something is a GPA booster or not always just depends on your disposition and the specific curriculum i feel like

magic thistle
#

I’m the type of guy who almost went crazy about proofs

#

Took Abstract Algebra before and I almost went to a therapist after 😂

elfin smelt
#

game theory would probably be a better gpa booster for you then :p. but if you seriously had such bad experiences then i think maybe neither would boost your gpa

magic thistle
#

Yeah I was just exagging. I mean I’m not the brightest I’m actually a C student 😂

#

Majoring in CS with Math Minor

#

Im on academic probation right now

#

And this is my last chance to boost my GPA to 2.0 so I can graduate

#

I’m like 100% done with my CS classes

#

So I’m only left with one math class to boost it and it also completes my minor

#

So basically it’s a make or break situation for me 😭

#

My dilemma is. Taking Game Theory this summer which is a 4 week course

#

OR take Number Theory this fall

#

The summer course starts on monday

elfin smelt
#

if youre a cs major id definitely recommend game theory

#

(over number theory)

solid snow
#

Take it in the fall

magic thistle
solid snow
#

I meant number theory

magic thistle
#

Ohhh

solid snow
#

No offense, but your track record suggests a 4 week accelerated course might not be a good idea

elfin smelt
#

that is true

solid snow
#

Do not jeopardize graduating

magic thistle
#

But on the brightside, both professors are GOATED according to rmp

latent edge
magic thistle
#

But in my case I aim for a B- and above

solid snow
#

Ye take the fall course and lock in heavily

magic thistle
#

Anything below, I’m a goner

solid snow
#

Theres just a lot more room for error

magic thistle
#

But also If ever I get a B- this summer then I can always drop the fall course

#

I have until tomorrow to decide 😂

solid snow
#

You can learn game theory on your own time

#

It’s not like this is the only chance to learn it

magic thistle
#

Thank you

#

So this number theory professor right. Is also my professor of my abstract algebra last year

#

I remember I only got like 55% overall

#

And he still gave me a B-

#

And it’s a 4 credit course

#

So hopefully he gives me the same grade 😂

elfin smelt
#

there might be something to be said about already knowing his teaching style benefitting you

magic thistle
#

He knows me as well since it’s a small class (<20).

elfin smelt
#

awh nice

magic thistle
#

His grading criteria is based solely on weekly quizzes

elfin smelt
#

since your graduation may depend on this, maybe study up before taking the class too 😭

magic thistle
#

And it’s not cumulative

magic thistle
elfin smelt
#

abstract algebra will be a big prerequisite i bet

elfin smelt
magic thistle
#

I just learned about that PEANO axioms or some isht

#

😂

I suggest an International convention for the clear differentiation of decimal points/commas and thousands separators:

Many systems confusingly use "," or "." for both, often reversed depending on region. This leads to critical misunderstandings.

Proposal:

  • Use apostrophe ' as thousands separator: 234'567
  • Use dot . as decimal separator: 234.567

✅ Visually distinct
✅ Unambiguous internationally
✅ Safer for data exchange
✅ Easier for both humans and machines

This system is already used in Switzerland and avoids dangerous misreadings in global contexts

What do you think? 👀

Precisely because standards are fragmented, we need to push for something truly universal and unambiguous to prevent ongoing confusion and dangerous misunderstandings in international data exchange.

Using ' for thousands and . for decimals is a minimal, highly readable change that can be safely adopted with minor parser updates, and builds on existing precedents (e.g. Swiss usage)

jovial ember
#

Nah

haughty lion
#

I propose to write out the word "point" or "comma" explicitly

#

432comma632 and 3point141

neat lintel
#

What if I write, say, 246.245? Unless they already know which system I’m using(rendering the whole thing useless, because we wouldn’t need a new one if everyone knew what we used), they could think I’m referring to 246.245 or 246,245

agile fiber
#

using spaces for thousands is already recommended by international standards organization and avoids introducing new notation (especially since it doesn't carry mathematical meaning)

neat lintel
#

I’m not entirely sure why people use anything at all instead of just, you know, 1000

#

I guess it’s faster to parse 1 000 and things of that form?

agile fiber
#

because it's hard to easily judge the size of a number like 37249502 whereas 37 249 502 is much easier

#

not really necessary for numbers on the order of 1000 but very helpful beyond that

neat lintel
#

Ic

agile fiber
#

and i would also note that "just use dot for the decimal separator" isn't really "unambiguous" since the dot is already use for something else in some countries. the exact same problem would arise from enforcing comma, though, so there's no such thing as an ideal solution in that regard

haughty lion
#

Obviously the ideal solution is to merge the dot and comma into the same symbol

#

I don't see any problems with this approach,

agile fiber
#

ah yes

solid snow
#

i agree with the idea but adoption is always the issue

dreamy ore
#

we should just use fractions :33

combining blue and red when considering a colour as an element of a vector space whose basis vectors are labelled as blue,red,green and the intensity of the colour is the magnitude of the vector yields purple. so logically you could consider purple disk there instead of a blue one. white is an equal combination of red, green and blue and combining that with red will give a pale shade of red so the tail could be considered as pale red or pink

#

I can't take screenshots now cuz of this blobcry

Had to take photo from other phone, see chat gpt smoking

often you kinda need to assume the exact opposite, doubt and scrutinize it as much as possible lol

neural networks have lots of generalizing power, which is roughly why a large model like current AI assistants can seem like they solve just about anything, but they're unpredictable and prone to hallucinate or just not perform well on logical tasks

#

and while they seem to be getting better their core principles have been the same

#

similar architectures etc

oh didnt realize lol

well its gotta be said

I'm trying to read my first ever academic paper for my internship , and it seems like people don't use if-then and if-only-if statements as much as I thought they would in their proofs, and so I keep having to translate between this is what they are saying versus this is the direction they imply, and it's just like such an extra task, like just write if-then statements, iff , or am I just horribly wrong?

limber thunder
#

on a paper the level of abstraction is often higher than in concrete implementations

radiant karma
#

Yeah, just like would it not be easier to read the paper like that so the same content of like iff proofs are not harder to read

@dreamy ore

#

This is so random but

#

having no crush is so boring fr its fun when u have one

dreamy ore
#

what i can say is

#

life has gotten more boring since its over

dreamy ore
#

but like

#

holy hell having a crush is

#

exhausting

twin flicker
#

mine is currently over bc she rejected me but its ok

dreamy ore
#

lmaoo

twin flicker
#

i hate the grace period more

#

because i only like 1 woman every 1 or 2 years

#

which leaves like 5 until i start pushing 30

timid bronze
#

yea thats fair (responding to both of u) and im sry ab that vereity wish u strong healing

twin flicker
#

i dont really care i was just rejected in a slightly embarassing way

#

its all g

#

i think if you are not used to having crushes the infatuation can be consuming

#

and very annoying

dreamy ore
#

mine ended in a ridiculous way

twin flicker
#

and then post rejection is hard bc u hyperanalyze yourself but maybe thats just me idk

velvet dagger
#

Yeah that can be hell

dreamy ore
#

we met on some dating app
he kinda was acting attached to me for a bit, even briefly kissed
then he suddenly tells me he sometimes feels uncomfortable with physical touch cuz he has a boyfriend
i was like oh? i didnt know and he said check my profile on some app

and sure enough it says "❤️ D+940smth"

#

?????

#

uve been dating for over 900 days???

#

whyd u kiss me??

twin flicker
#

thats why u gotta have confidence and self esteem ong

#

i was not responding to u mb

dreamy ore
#

-# anyway hes sitting next to me rn actually

velvet dagger
#

Re Vereity: Yeah I was confused too about the confidence remark at first but realized you were probably responding to me calling it hell lmao

Re shiru: What in the world

#

for some reason ppl use dating apps to cheat a lot

i was joking but

#

@timid bronze for me there was the extra thrill of having a crush on a boy in the army

#

cuz homosexual acts in the army is illegal and can land u in 2 years in jail

twin flicker
#

where tf u live

dreamy ore
#

korea

#

luckily we were not caught kissing

#

so neither of us went to jail

#

or like

dreamy ore
#

no one saw which is a good thing anyway even besides the jail problem

#

wouldnt want rumors circling

timid bronze

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

crushes can suck sometimes if u feel like they arent showing u they like u but r also showing signs they do

but atp id leave i wouldnt continue to go for someone purposefully playing games with me

if they like u you will know

twin flicker
#

i have no plans to join the military but i am sometimes curious if id be passable physically to join

dreamy ore
#

this is a very enclosed environment

#

and also very boring cuz

#

u dont get ur phone for most of the time

#

so ur mind just wanders to ur crush :p

#

i remember once i was like

man he didnt leave my brain for 72 hrs straight

#

rent free fr

#

any compliment they give u u think all the time too

neat lintel
twin flicker
#

i can only be attracted to the idea of someone that i have

neat lintel
twin flicker
#

and never the actual person

dreamy ore
#

its exhausting

twin flicker
#

or rather its just not as intense

timid bronze
#

so u get to know ppl more

#

sometimes it doesnt work out

#

:p

twin flicker
#

eventually i realized i couldnt imagine dating them so i kinda gave it up then one of her friends made her reject me due to information i gave out lol

neat lintel
#

Someone actually asked if me and the person I have a crush on are “planning on dating” and we both said “no” simultaneously opencry

timid bronze

#

Falling in love with someone early on is terrifying because some people let on a lot more than you think they do

timid bronze
#

i think crushing and falling in love r very different

velvet dagger
#

My worry is that I'd be someone who gives everyone very sage advice

fresh comet
twin flicker
velvet dagger
#

And then if I get interested? I get swept away and caution is thrown to the wind

timid bronze
twin flicker
#

a good way to describe it is that i sort of construct a personality that they have based on my impressions of them

dreamy ore
twin flicker
#

and obviously they are different from that

fresh comet
#

I see

#

interesting!

timid bronze
#

i mean

#

at least my exes

#

theh were my rly good friends before i started crushing on them

#

so i had an idea of them

velvet dagger
#

That def makes sense

twin flicker
#

i do it less now but i had an old crush where that was pretty rampant

dreamy ore
#

maybe thats tmi

fresh comet
#

would it be fair to say that you're longing for an imaginary, idealized version of who you would like your partner to be?

#

or is that like, off the mark?

twin flicker
#

if i am attracted to them i imagine them to be perfect its kind of like that

fresh comet
twin flicker
#

so yes kind of what you described

fresh comet
#

and that's what you're looking for

#

but there's no painting that's perfect in all the ways you want

#

Certain types of emotional needs can only be met by a partner but it's easier to be patient on that if you have other needs already met

#

Like what are people looking for in a relationship?

Companionship and support are two huge ones. You want someone who celebrates your success, someone has your back when you need it (be it comfort or assistance), someone for whom you enjoy each other's company, and someone with whom you can have your desired degree of emotional and physical intimacy

#

I might be simplifying a bit but I think this hits the major notes

#

The thing is, friendship covers most of these, basically except intimacy and the... Reliable feeling/idea of being someone's #1 favorite person

#

If you're lacking all of these, then the loneliness sucks

#

And then you might project all of those unmet needs onto the idea of having a partner, and okay now you might be desperate, pick the wrong person, etc

hot bridge
#

hi. I believe I can copy graphs from desmos.com easily, but now I cannot. Did desmos stopped copy function?

timid bronze
velvet dagger
#

But if you have friends who handle most of these, it's easier to be willing to wait on some of those needs which are only met by relationships until the time is right and you have the right person

timid bronze

dami sums it up well

timid bronze

The one I am missing is romantic

hot bridge
#

Guys. Whad program or website do you use when you need to draw graphs and put them on documents? Any recommendation?

velvet dagger
#

I mean yeah that's def a valid need to have and I wish you good luck in finding a romantic partner

timid bronze
velvet dagger
#

Just that yeah a lot of people, not necessarily you, put too many of their needs contingent on a partner

#

And that can be more of a recipe for trouble because then you become more desperate and are more likely to choose unwisely

#

And even if you choose wisely you might put a much higher emotional burden

timid bronze
#

random but related social media portrays romance so wrongly

#

and movies ofc

velvet dagger

Oh yeah definitely

@verbal lark welcome to the mathcord! nachoWaves

verbal lark
#

u ppl really discuss math problems here ?

velvet dagger
#

Yup! There are many channels for many different types of talk

verbal lark
#

yep ok

timid bronze
#

my favorite math problems to talk about are the ones about not being able to see whos my professor until the semester begins 💯

velvet dagger
# verbal lark yep ok

Discussion channels are general chit chat, math discussion is more math centric, chill is where the kinda memey stuff happens, the topics channels are focused, help channels if you have homework (rather than conceptual) questions, etc

velvet dagger
timid bronze
#

Too bad theres not a place to vent about math problems if ykwim

#

😪

timid bronze
#

ALL CLASSES DONT HAVE

#

MaTH PROFS LISTED

velvet dagger
#

Oh what

#

Still?

timid bronze
#

Yes

velvet dagger
#

These people need to move their asses fr

timid bronze
#

apparently its to stop the popular profs being signed up for

#

but istg that doesnt just happen to the math department the chem department is like that too

#

except chem lists theirs regardless

velvet dagger
#

Yeah I mean, it's not necessarily that much of a problem. It won't lead to overfull classes or anything

#

Since the size is limited anyway

timid bronze
#

exactly

verbal lark
#

haha

velvet dagger
#

And some people won't get the popular prof because it doesn't fit the schedule

timid bronze
#

So glad there isnt anonymity in the chem classes

#

one prof is actually so ableist

#

But ofc they get away with it

velvet dagger
#

Ugh that's horrible

timid bronze
#

id drop the class entirely and wait next semester if theres not another fit

velvet dagger
#

Tempting

timid bronze
#

Cuz we r friends

like id have to pick a diff class

slso i jst dont want u seeing my handwriting on my paper.

no no alex is a fine name

timid bronze

and im assuming ur just mad cuz ally is short for-

#

anyway

timid bronze
#

Dude my real name doesnt even start with an A

#

so keep projecting.

deep mango
#

alex is a nice name, its just not compelling from a storytelling standpoint like colby is

haughty lion
deep mango
#

colby is compelling because:

  1. its very southern
  2. its a cheese
  3. its too much work to call him unconference bae all the time so i just started calling him colby
#

which 3 is a mistake cuz he has discord and might join here at any time

but w/e

but its never turned into a date

most of the time people who hear that are like "huh, no, that's weird as fuck"
