serious-discussion

[velvet dagger]

Honestly same

[fresh comet]

I felt like I was 16 before I was 16

[timid bronze]

i feel like its so true

[coarse bridge]

Deadass

[fresh comet]

and I still feel like I'm about that age

[jagged forge]

covid was like. a much needed break for me lmao
i dropped out of music school right before it started

[limber thunder]

me feeling 17 for like 10 years, experiencing extreme burnout at 27 and now I feel 35

[coarse bridge]

I mean I haven’t changed much since like 17 I feel

[velvet dagger]

I miss being 18 and 19 tho fr

[coarse bridge]

I’ve become less unhinged maybe

[velvet dagger]

What

[jagged forge]

oof

[ocean robin]

same

[twin flicker]

what do you do if you cant eat any more for the day but you dont want to skip dinner wit your family

[coarse bridge]

LMFAO you did not wanna know me in hs bruh

[jagged forge]

u don’t remember him posting FEIN FEIN FEIN and galaxy gas gifs do u

[ocean robin]

sit at the table

[velvet dagger]

No I think he means that former him is even worse

[twin flicker]

yeah thats what i thought

[velvet dagger]

Like from before mathcord

[coarse bridge]

even is crazy

[jagged forge]

true. i shudder to imagine this man in high school…,

[timid bronze]

wait why cant u eat

[coarse bridge]

Hs was so fun

[timid bronze]

sorry if thats personal u dont have to answer

[coarse bridge]

I had a blast

[twin flicker]

diet

nah its not personal

[timid bronze]

oh

[twin flicker]

dw

[coarse bridge]

Except for Covid ofc

[velvet dagger]

Mid 2013 to mid 2018

Best time in my life

[timid bronze]

i miss going to hs football games

[coarse bridge]

ripp

[ocean robin]

i was 9 in 2013

[coarse bridge]

same lmao

[velvet dagger]

I was 16

[neat lintel]

5

[velvet dagger]

Ages 16-20

[ocean robin]

i'm 20 now

[jagged forge]

my life since getting a job has been much more boring but i honestly would not trade it for all the highs and lows of college and hs

[timid bronze]

if i could go back to being like 10 i would

[velvet dagger]

For me 10 kinda sucked tbh

[coarse bridge]

It’s interesting to hear that since I feel like going through stages of my life it’s like I’ve wanted to move to the next stage but didn’t appreciate it till I moved on

[timid bronze]

i think summer 2024, all of 2021 and 2017 have been some of my roughest years ever

[coarse bridge]

But this is kind of a counterexample to that

[timid bronze]

times id never like to revisit

[coarse bridge]

I wonder if I’ll feel the same

[fresh comet]

I didn't realize you were having a rough time last summer

[jagged forge]

just to clarify, didn’t appreciate the previous stage until you moved on to the next one?

[coarse bridge]

Yeah

[fresh comet]

I'm sorry about that

[coarse bridge]

like I always thought the n+1th stage was gonna be better than the nth stage

but once I reached the n+1th then I wanted to go back to the nth

ykwim

[jagged forge]

hm

[timid bronze]

eh i just panicking over what to major in, and having repeated arguments with someone close to me very very very very very frequently

i wasnt open about it then

but i am now bc theyre both solved:>

[velvet dagger]

The flow was basically
0-5 idr
5-9 decent/good
9-11 bad (don't fuckin say it)
12 good
13 dogshit
14-15 decent/good
16 good
17-20 perfect
21-22 okay
23-24 dogshit
25-27 mediocre/okayish

[fresh comet]

I'm really glad to hear that c:

keep it going, ally

[neat lintel]

Yea everytime we going to another stage we think that the current one is boring and not funny as before, for exa my dad told me that he mess the days he was employed

[timid bronze]

this is so real

[jagged forge]

i think in my case my days in school just had so much struggle that nothing would make me want to go back, even if it was more fun a lot of the time

[timid bronze]

us humans never appreciate a thing till its gone

😭

i remember complaining sm ab middle school but i miss it now

[velvet dagger]

Hmm for me it depends. I think in the above list, 17 was the year when I was very much looking forward

[coarse bridge]

That’s fair, did you anticipate feeling like this before getting a job as well or

[velvet dagger]

Like I enjoyed high school but was def at times more looking forward to college than living in the moment

[neat lintel]

It's not like that but is more like we can't know the real valuable of it

[velvet dagger]

College nah I was in the moment enjoying it

[timid bronze]

sorry to hear im glad ur past it

[coarse bridge]

Yeah

[solar hawk]

Hi chip

[timid bronze]

its part of it

[coarse bridge]

hi amukh

[neat lintel]

I was studying math my whole time, because I don't have a life

[solar hawk]

NYA

[coarse bridge]

LMAO

[timid bronze]

hi amukh

[coarse bridge]

it’s tuff isn’t it

[solar hawk]

What server is NYA

I want that lwk

[coarse bridge]

Just click on my tag

[solar hawk]

This TCD shit is making me look like a nerd

[jagged forge]

feeling like what, not missing school?

[solar hawk]

It doesn’t let me on mobile

Bug cord

Send dm

[coarse bridge]

Yeah that you’d enjoy having a job more than being in school

[velvet dagger]

Yeah tbh a lot of the time we think of good things more in contrast to bad

[timid bronze]

i still get really emotional about hs grad because like

i grew up with those classmates

now i never see them again

[velvet dagger]

So when you're a kid, the simplicity of life is something you take for granted

You don't know what the stress of being an adult is like

[jagged forge]

oh, i don’t think i realized how much i’d enjoy my firs job, but i was absolutely convinced it was better than rotting in school for another 3 years

i literally could not stand to stay in school any longer

[coarse bridge]

ic

[timid bronze]

thats fair

[jagged forge]

so as soon as my friend told me about an internship opportunity i jumped on it

[coarse bridge]

makes sense

[timid bronze]

ikr and us as humans when we were kids say we wanna be older we wanna be older 😭

icl

i dont like thinking ab marriage having a job starting a family etc all the time

it scares me

[velvet dagger]

So the thing on your mind is the fact that you have stuff you wanna do but can't because your parents say no. That's what adulthood represents to you, the ability to do what you want

[jagged forge]

i may have enjoyed the cs program if i had gotten to the upper level stuff but they weren’t about to let me skip the basic classes so

[coarse bridge]

@solar hawk welcome to the club

[timid bronze]

i think marriage is very exciting but like

its just so scary

w the other things combined

[solar hawk]

Check the tag guys

NYA

NYA

[jagged forge]

not you too….

[solar hawk]

I already had a tag tho

[velvet dagger]

When you're actually an adult it's like

Okay great you can do what you want on paper but the consequences are rough

[solar hawk]

I just want a cutesy one

[velvet dagger]

And there is a lot of stress and sadness and such

[coarse bridge]

Right yeah

[limber thunder]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-falling-fell-cat-fall-actions-of-consequences-gif-6423099276708320422

[coarse bridge]

It’s like actually having to take accountability for your actions

Lmfao

[velvet dagger]

So at the end it's like hmmm okay if the independence didn't come as a package deal with bills and health and all

That would be perfect

[timid bronze]

im glad to take accountability but i just hate being in those situations of pain

[velvet dagger]

But life ain't that way

[velvet dagger]

Yeah that's valid I've got very mixed thoughts about it

[jagged forge]

hopefully being accountable minimizes those sudden painful occurrences, though it often does not end up that way

[velvet dagger]

Like I wish I could just see the future sometimes

[timid bronze]

They weren’t wrong that its hard to let some people go when the friendship hurts ur mental health a lot 😪

[velvet dagger]

And be like okay hmm is marriage gonna go south?

[jagged forge]

oof

[timid bronze]

yea tho what i exactly meant is above

[velvet dagger]

If so I want no part in it

[velvet dagger]

Yeaaa

[timid bronze]

bc like

while it hurts it

what if its worth it in the end??

for me it was worth it in the end to not let it go

but what if it truly should be let go

idk

[latent edge]

Only way to find out

[timid bronze]

do i make sense lol i feel like i dont

[ocean robin]

haiiiii

[ocean robin]

real

[velvet dagger]

Yeah I see what you mean

[timid bronze]

makes me more afraid to whether let go or keep fighting in some situations because i love myself but i also dont want to lose someone precious over a dumb ugly big misunderstanding

[velvet dagger]

You never really have access to the true answer to "What would life be like if I didn't?"

So there's always that ambient wonder

[timid bronze]

yea

but like

ill always assess the friendship entirely

if theyve been amazing throughout

and now is just rough

pull thru it hope its temporary

[velvet dagger]

True but yeah my point is that it's this weird situation where a good marriage is worth it but if it's gonna go badly I'd rather stay single. So that's why it's scary, you can take some steps to probably decrease the chance it goes badly but I doubt you can make it small enough to not be a rough gamble

[timid bronze]

yea but for this its always worth taking the risk

only dont take it if you know they have red flags

like they say

[velvet dagger]

Yeah tbh I've luckily not had too many situations where it was difficult to assess whether to keep someone as a friend or not

[timid bronze]

no trust no relationship

[velvet dagger]

The friends I've made have been almost uniformly good

[timid bronze]

yeah that was just my first time of whether i should keep or not

i kept and im so happy i did

others i dropped and im happy i did because i had to do 0 assessing

Ngl these r the type of convos that give me a surge of energy

deep talk over small talk any day of the week

[velvet dagger]

Or hmm

That's less the point I guess. I've had at least one person who I thought was good at first and got really close to and ended up being not a great friend to me. And I kinda slowly disconnected. Which happened over a long ish period of time, didn't happen instantly

[timid bronze]

You know whats so hard bro

having to force urself to disconnect

like it happens but

[velvet dagger]

That = the uniformly good

[timid bronze]

its hard and idt its mentioned enough

[velvet dagger]

Not what you said ally

Ugh my internet

[timid bronze]

i mean thats part of the future being the future. curiosity, excitement or fear

in the end

all ur experiences make you

you

[latent edge]

I personally don't care if it goes well or not. Shit will happen and I am willing to take a risk

[velvet dagger]

But yeah around the time I was fully like "Yeah I don't care much for you anymore" was also the time when they started to become a bit better and became a bit remorseful for how they were

So since then it's been this kinda strange vibe where it's like... I still try to be overall nice but kinda don't prioritize that friendship anymore, and they see me as a very good friend. I don't really have the heart to correct that so I just kinda go with it

[timid bronze]

blunt and i like it

except i disagree ab the not caring if it goes well or not. id hope it goes well but if it doesnt ill learn

[latent edge]

Yeah I meant like in a good way

Yeah I hope it goes well but if it doesn't I'm still prepared

[timid bronze]

thats a good mindset

[timid bronze]

omg this is so awkward

someone sees u as super close and u dont feel the same way

🙈

[velvet dagger]

Especially when the roles were kinda flipped before

Or eh more like

• We were very close
• They withdrew hard (a few days after I finished helping them with grad apps)
• I'm still attached and they don't care
• I decide I'm done
• They start to come back but I stay distant

[jagged forge]

that’s kinda rough

[velvet dagger]

Yeah that was probably the worst experience with friendship I had in a long time. And tbh bullet points 2-3 started a few months into covid which didn't help

I was already feeling kinda isolated

[dreamy ore]

man

[timid bronze]

rough

[dreamy ore]

frick relationships

[timid bronze]

Nooo dont say that

Many are gold

[dreamy ore]

none of mine have been gold

bronze at best

-# maybe im the issue

[latent edge]

some of mines were good

only one

the rest are kinda meh

[dreamy ore]

meh yea

[latent edge]

the only reason one of them was successful is because I knew the person for a long time

So I guess that might be a factor

[velvet dagger]

Ahhhh

[timid bronze]

i want food

I cant get my moms delicious rice bc im in my dorm

Waaa 😪

id 💍 rice if it was a human

[velvet dagger]

Rice, avocado, or shawarma? Which would you marry?

[dreamy ore]

tbh same

[timid bronze]

fuck you u make it so hard

i love avocado i love guacamole but like

rice is just.. good and versatile

how ab this

i marry rice and avocado is my side chick

[dreamy ore]

kiss marry kill rice avocado shawarma

[dreamy ore]

um kill avocado

[velvet dagger]

LMAO

[dreamy ore]

kiss shawarma

marry rice

[timid bronze]

i wouldnt marry shawarma

[neat lintel]

Kiss rice

[timid bronze]

but it is very good

[twin flicker]

kiss avocado marry shawarma kill rice

so this is instead kmk instead of fmk

interesting

[timid bronze]

ine thing i hate sm ab dorms is

[velvet dagger]

I think kill avocado for me and hmmm between rice and shawarma... I think rice is very versatile but doesn't stand alone

[timid bronze]

i miss my moms homecooked meals

[velvet dagger]

Shawarma stands alone but is too limited

[timid bronze]

actually tasty and healthy unlike this dining hall food

[velvet dagger]

I think I'll pick marry rice and kiss shawarma

[timid bronze]

oh yea i dont like rice alone

it needs something

[velvet dagger]

I will say one silver lining for me of going back to Texas is the food

[jagged forge]

one time my friend who was staying over at my house just grabbed one of the microwaveable rice containers and just ate straight rice

[dreamy ore]

what the hell

[timid bronze]

my friend has been telling me try bowl of rice and eggs w soy sauce for breakfast

[dreamy ore]

well yeah rice goes with anything

[timid bronze]

i dont enjoy eggs but im willing to try

[long matrix]

death

[timid bronze]

oh nah i cant w microwavable rice

gotta make that fresh

[velvet dagger]

Tbh South Asian food has very strongly increased my enjoyment of rice

[jagged forge]

damn i mean, don’t the japanese do that but at least add like. seasoning or smth

[timid bronze]

i hope u all wash ur rice

[dreamy ore]

ok this is a very common thing in korea but - if u have it - oyster sauce instead of soy sauce also goes fire

[dreamy ore]

who doesnt

:p

[timid bronze]

i mean soy sauce is already salty

[dreamy ore]

ig risotto

[jagged forge]

the ones my mom gets from the korean store are quite good, on par with fresh rice

[velvet dagger]

Because before the main rice thing I liked was Yemeni rice and chicken

[jagged forge]

but probably a different kind of rice than you are used to

[velvet dagger]

Zubrian specifically

[timid bronze]

omg u like my food tysm

❤️

[dreamy ore]

ur yemeni?

[velvet dagger]

Frrrr

[jagged forge]

ok well not on par with fresh rice but quite good

[timid bronze]

Part yemeni yea

[dreamy ore]

microwavable rice is passable

[timid bronze]

yemeni and ethiopian

[dreamy ore]

awesome

[dreamy ore]

oh thats cool

[timid bronze]

more ethio though

[dreamy ore]

ic ic

[timid bronze]

School is like a hot shower

u dont wanna get in but once u do u dont wanna leave

oopps i just mindlessly said that

[velvet dagger]

Lmaooooooo

[dreamy ore]

when do u not wanna get in a hot shower

hot showers are amazing

[velvet dagger]

Hot showers get kinda eh after a long enough time tho idk I overheat

[timid bronze]

Sometimes i font have the energy to get ready for the hot shower

[velvet dagger]

And like to cool down the water for a bit

[timid bronze]

bc ill like be telporaru exposed to cold

and whatnot

[dreamy ore]

i like switching the water to cold for a bit in the middle of a hot shower

then going back to hot

[timid bronze]

soeaking of shower i need to shower soon

UGH!

[twin flicker]

what

[velvet dagger]

Go do it asap fr

[timid bronze]

ill try.

[twin flicker]

my breakfast is 4 eggs and half a cup of egg whites

[dreamy ore]

guys what is this thing

[timid bronze]

last night i showered at like 1 am it was hot and as soon as i got to bed it knocked me right to sleep LMAO at 2

[long matrix]

death!?!?

[timid bronze]

like i almost dropped my phone

my eyes couldnt jold

[long matrix]

insane breakfasts im seeing here

[dreamy ore]

lmaoo

[velvet dagger]

Amazing

[twin flicker]

its normal i think

[velvet dagger]

That instant rest after a shower is amazing

[long matrix]

no way can i eat that much

[twin flicker]

i used to do 6 eggs but wanted more protein

[long matrix]

it would kill me for the day

eat that much and im going back to bed fs

[timid bronze]

omg can u teach me how to expand my palate

My palate is so small

idk how ppl do seconds and whatnot

[long matrix]

lunch is the luncher

[timid bronze]

im full very fast with one 😭

[timid bronze]

fr

dami did i tell u ab

my friend eating an ice cream sandwich for suhoor

[long matrix]

suhoor?

[twin flicker]

well this is like 380 calories

[timid bronze]

and wondering why he was so hungry later on the day

☠️

[twin flicker]

not much

[timid bronze]

its like the period muslims eat before they start fasting for the day

[velvet dagger]

I like eggs scrambled, sometimes spinach (not just plopped on but cooked and seasoned and all), also one time I had an omelette with cheese and gyro which was amazing

[long matrix]

is your day job physical

[velvet dagger]

And by one time I mean a bunch of times

[twin flicker]

no

[long matrix]

ah

[velvet dagger]

LMAO

[timid bronze]

i need my eggs to be spicy for me to tolerate eating them

[twin flicker]

get used to eating more or eat things that dont satiate you easily

[timid bronze]

yeaa

[twin flicker]

anyways i dont think 4 eggs is that crazy

people easily hit high calories on breakfasts with other foods

its just usualyl hard to eat a lot of eggs because of the protein and volume

[timid bronze]

Omg yes 4 eggs crazy.

i eben tjink 2 eggs is so much for me

[jagged forge]

spicy + eggs is a pretty good combo

[timid bronze]

fr suremark based u dont season ur food with water like ryc does

[twin flicker]

i draw the line at 8(i could probably do it but i dont really want to)

[long matrix]

stomach is bottomless pit

[long matrix]

????

[timid bronze]

this would keep me full for a week

[twin flicker]

i eat like 1500-1600 calories a day

[jagged forge]

i like eggs in my tteokbokki

[long matrix]

its not just calories

eggs make u full

[twin flicker]

oh yeah

[timid bronze]

protein

[twin flicker]

u rite

i would say like

i guess then u just dont eat until later

but usually i am hungry again by lunch time

[timid bronze]

csn u make me tteokbokki

[twin flicker]

this is 44g protein

[timid bronze]

if i est 8 eggs im not eating again till like 6 pm fr ill be that full

[long matrix]

sometimes i eat too much for dinner

[jagged forge]

my white friends think i have high spice tolerance meanwhile im crying a little bit by the time i finish my meal at a korean restaurant

[long matrix]

then dont eat the next day for the most part

[twin flicker]

thai curry always humbled me w spice idk why

like panag

panang

[timid bronze]

OMG

[twin flicker]

or green

[timid bronze]

THAI FOOD IS

SO SPICY

NO JOKR

[twin flicker]

i usually get medium spicy panang

but that shit actually burns

[jagged forge]

thai food is crazy

[twin flicker]

i still like it tho

[jagged forge]

thai is the only kind of food where i ask for just medium

[timid bronze]

i love thai food but i could never have that before a flight

i tried it before and

[twin flicker]

i desire to go to sleep but i need to solve 1 more leetcode problem

[timid bronze]

i regret.

[jagged forge]

my brother said he and his buddies ordered the hottest thing at a thai restaurant and then dared one of them to scrape the sauce from the bottom of the pot

ppl are crazy

OH

i saw this hilarious video

[twin flicker]

thats devious yeah

[jagged forge]

https://youtu.be/3yji2djI8r8

dawg. when the guy busts out the rubber gloves

u know it’s dangerous

[velvet dagger]

Thai before a flight is self-masochism

[jagged forge]

also known as… masochism?

[long matrix]

mutual?
targeted?
directed?

[timid bronze]

Can confirm i was in pain when we werent allowed to stand up in the plane

[jagged forge]

btw the sauce in this video is 9 million scoville

[latent edge]

jesus

[velvet dagger]

Oof

[ocean robin]

yep!

[azure sleet]

Sinistea yeah

[jagged forge]

well the name is more inspired than scovillain and capsakid ig

[latent edge]

I never understood hot sauce enjoyers like sure maybe your tongue is crazy enough to tolerate that but your intestines are going to say otherwise

[azure sleet]

Is gen 9 any good?

[jagged forge]

tbh my intestines do fine compared to my mouth

[ocean robin]

YEP i mixed up sinistcha and sinistea

[hybrid quest]

I've wanted to make a team of the keys, teacup, rottom, chandeliermon, and ice-cream conemone

[timid bronze]

oh yeah i dont like when spicy food if its too spicy u cant tasye the food

[ocean robin]

chandelure

[timid bronze]

ok i had a stroke reading that

[ocean robin]

my favorite

[jagged forge]

i mean i don’t go crazy on hot sauce like some ppl

[timid bronze]

i dont like it when my food is so spicy i cant taste the food

[ocean robin]

i like spicy food

v yummy

[latent edge]

tfw the food is so spicy it's not fun anymore

[hybrid quest]

Scovillin looks bad imo, cool idea for grass/fire thougg

[jagged forge]

maximum fun = u sweat a little bit

[ocean robin]

:(

[timid bronze]

im ok w the intestine retaliation drama as long as the food is enjoyable

[velvet dagger]

Tbh for me spice is a means to an end rather than an end in itself

[ocean robin]

exactly

[velvet dagger]

What I want is flavor

[azure sleet]

Ah

[latent edge]

i saw a guy eating food with really hot sauce before gym

[velvet dagger]

If that comes with heat then sure

[azure sleet]

Cha as in tea

[latent edge]

like bro is built different holy shit

[velvet dagger]

But I don't specifically seek heat

[ocean robin]

ya

[timid bronze]

omfg ive been in this chat all day i need to not come on it the next few days

[hybrid quest]

Yea I had some ghost pepper ketchup once and it tasted like battery acid

[jagged forge]

oof

[ocean robin]

[fresh comet]

wait uh, two hours

[ocean robin]

(i'm not leaving)

[fresh comet]

I have a... surprise for you

[ocean robin]

this is the only chat i frequent

[jagged forge]

it’s kinda a letdown how places advertise ghost pepper sauce in everything and then it’s not even hot

it tastes good tho

[azure sleet]

No wonder you have very active role

[twin flicker]

sounds not fun

[timid bronze]

Ur scaring me

[ocean robin]

[velvet dagger]

Hey I guess we're just that fun huh

so once summers over

[ocean robin]

despair

[velvet dagger]

Yeah I have a few servers I'd probably frequent a fair bit if this wasn't around. Though even now I kinda prioritize individual friendships

[timid bronze]

i love individual friendships way more

[ocean robin]

same

[timid bronze]

servers suck bro too many ragebaiters

And creeps

[dreamy ore]

havent seen a creep here

which is surprising

since its a big discord server

[dreamy ore]

oh what the hell

[timid bronze]

sorry to hear

i wasnt here for 6 months i like dipped

bc i was rly distressed

but fair

[dreamy ore]

honestly i dont even get how u could be a creep towards the kids here theyre all so annoying /j

[timid bronze]

Bro im not a kid.

[dreamy ore]

damn

r u okay now

[fresh comet]

it's not necessarily towards the children

[dreamy ore]

yeah it was a joke
maybe not that good of a joke

[fresh comet]

@timid bronze to your status:

[dreamy ore]

[timid bronze]

noono i mean like i was distressed by the server in an interaction i had which is why i left

[dreamy ore]

sorry

[timid bronze]

I am good now

tyfaa

[dreamy ore]

oh i see

[dreamy ore]

thats good

also i vote no

to ur status

[fresh comet]

you should probably listen to shiru

[timid bronze]

Ok il lhave thai food before i go on rollercoasters

[dreamy ore]

i would usually say yes to something like that but higher said yes so i say no

just to spite higher

:>

[fresh comet]

[velvet dagger]

LMAO

[timid bronze]

higheer wanfs me to sufger

suffer

and screaming before the ride eben starts

[fresh comet]

oioioi

[dreamy ore]

ok sowwy

[dreamy ore]

i recommend getting the spiciest option

[fresh comet]

I remember you used to claim I bullied you in DMs

[dreamy ore]

really just incinerate ur insides

[timid bronze]

Ok

[dreamy ore]

claim??

"claim"??

[fresh comet]

oi

[dreamy ore]

u did bully me in dms

:(

[fresh comet]

[dreamy ore]

ok this is a very cute emoji

i forgive u

[timid bronze]

higher harasses me in dms

[dreamy ore]

but u need to give me the emoji

[fresh comet]

[fresh comet]

I'll DM it

[timid bronze]

he a big bully

[dreamy ore]

is this like a very high level form of flirting

/j

[timid bronze]

.

[long matrix]

[velvet dagger]

I need it too higher

[dreamy ore]

how old is higher again

[dreamy ore]

why is everyone wanting to be bullied by higher

i can attest

its not fun

he is mean and scawy

[velvet dagger]

No I meant the emoji

[dreamy ore]

oh

[velvet dagger]

But also I'll sue you on higher's behalf

[dreamy ore]

????

[velvet dagger]

For defamation

[fresh comet]

wait but we already have it on a different server

[dreamy ore]

what the hell

[fresh comet]

it's called :hgr_angy:

[velvet dagger]

Because higher doesn't booli

[fresh comet]

[dreamy ore]

:hgr_angy:

[timid bronze]

what the fuck did you say about me?

[velvet dagger]

Amazing

[dreamy ore]

what the hell

what is this secret server yall are in except me

this is cyberbullying

[timid bronze]

you should be ashamed of yourself

[dreamy ore]

me? why?

[timid bronze]

i feel like i cant take myself seriously if i use that emoji if im actually mad

[fresh comet]

I don't know how I'm scary when I'm angry when this is the canonical emote for my anger

[timid bronze]

No i just mean jokingly not u

[dreamy ore]

u make me cry

[timid bronze]

you cheated on me with my best friend? you bitch

[velvet dagger]

LMAO

[fresh comet]

well I guess I haven't gotten angry on discord in a very long time

[dreamy ore]

PFFF

[dreamy ore]

i got angry at a friend a few days ago

:<

[jagged forge]

this emoji is like. if we had a reverse hulk that became really tiny and cute when it got mad

[fresh comet]

average higher/shiru DMs

[dreamy ore]

these are false screenshots of fake dms

hes actually calling me stupid

[velvet dagger]

Yeah I'm almost never truly angry. Exasperated at most

[long matrix]

thats an airymote

[fresh comet]

indeed

[dreamy ore]

i got mad at a friend cuz they said some.. mean ass stuff

[fresh comet]

I steal all my emotes

[dreamy ore]

i called them a psychopath and yelled at em

kinda feel bad

he apologized in the end so

[fresh comet]

ah my bad

sorry about that one

[dreamy ore]

what

[fresh comet]

you see, I have an image I need to maintain

so I can't show them that

[dreamy ore]

oh is this higher finally admitting to his crimes

[fresh comet]

[dreamy ore]

against me

[timid bronze]

i feel like highers pranking me

[dreamy ore]

the cutest person in mathcord

[timid bronze]

sayimg he has a present for me on 2 hours

[dreamy ore]

in 2 hours a bomb will be dropped on ur house

[fresh comet]

it's hardly a prank, I think

I think you might find it surprising though

[timid bronze]

I need to Know what it is

IM ACATRF

sCARED

[fresh comet]

[timid bronze]

higher scary

[fresh comet]

when have I ever done something mean to you

[timid bronze]

everyday u bully me in dms

[dreamy ore]

higher scary

higher bullies me too

[fresh comet]

oi now I'm being slandered

[dreamy ore]

omg i wanna squish the emoji so bad

just like squeeze him

sideways

[timid bronze]

Ngl shiru i missed u lowk while u were inactive and i wasnt here

ur energys fun lol and i like ur humor

[dreamy ore]

aww

i rlly should be more active here

altho i think i wont be more active than i am rn

[fresh comet]

I missed shiru's trig posts and energy

[dreamy ore]

trig is over

[fresh comet]

but it can't be helped because...

well

yeah

[dreamy ore]

theres nothing more to study about trig now

😢

[fresh comet]

I miss your math discussion days

I miss a lot of people

[dreamy ore]

i will try to be more active

[timid bronze]

i miss a few ppl but theyre not from mathcord

diff pol u dk

ppl

[fresh comet]

every single time I become cognizant of those who've left, I'm reminded that I'll be joining them one day too

moreover, any given day could in principle be my last

that helps me take everything for granted less

[timid bronze]

i think any day could be my last day too

[timid bronze]

thats a beautiful mindset

[fresh comet]

it's also why I like to remind my friends that I appreciate them

[timid bronze]

actually some other mathcord user i miss is valley

bro ong has humor

[fresh comet]

I don't want to regret not saying it before it's too late

[fresh comet]

I have a lot of respect for valley

[timid bronze]

valley is SO fun to vc with 😭

[fresh comet]

I miss his presence too

he asked for an 8 month ban, and it's been... 7 months now

so one more month to go

[jagged forge]

the valley crashouts were fun

he’s going to search his name and then reply to this in 1 month

[fresh comet]

that is, if he returns to discord

[timid bronze]

true hes gonna boost his ego

☠️

hes the same like chipotle

Both annoying (JOKE)

Except valley more tolerable

[jagged forge]

chipotle and valley together is like. supercritical reaction

[fresh comet]

people like to equate chipotle with a few individuals, but I really think his behaviour is most similar to valley in certain ways

I know valley will be offended (hopefully jokingly) when he reads this, but idc

[timid bronze]

higher saying idc is crazy

[fresh comet]

why's that crazy

[long matrix]

equate chip with who???

he is very unique.

in a bad way

[timid bronze]

how would u guys feel if both of them were ur brothers

[jagged forge]

i would probably understand my older brother better

[fresh comet]

I will choose to bite my tongue instead of answering

[timid bronze]

Higher can i have a hint on what the thing is

Why U scare me

[fresh comet]

it's not even that serious

I have no idea why you're getting scared over this

[timid bronze]

Will i know in dms

[fresh comet]

you'll know in discussion

the main discussion

[timid bronze]

What if im asleep

I hope its ur brother saying Hi to me

[fresh comet]

[velvet dagger]

If it is then higher will leave

You want him to leave?

[fresh comet]

hopefully you will see the ping in the morning and react

[timid bronze]

Dami Ur Annoying.

[velvet dagger]

How am I annoying it's literally true

[timid bronze]

Annoying

(joke)

(joke)

(joke)

had to say it 3 tomes before u ask if im srs

[velvet dagger]

See but the first two cancel so it's just once

[timid bronze]

.

ok im gonna kms tonight

[velvet dagger]

Also I GET JOKES just sometimes I'm like 0_0

[timid bronze]

Im jjst fonna call discussion a day and go in my rabbit hole and talk to dms only. 🐇 🥕

[velvet dagger]

You reminded me that rabbits exist so brb gonna watch tiktoks of rabbits

[fresh comet]

I'll ping you when it's midnight here and I've sent what I usually send

need what

[little vale]

Anyone here used Probability Theory: The Logic of Science ?

[fresh comet]

mathcord is like that sometimes

[jagged forge]

mathcord is my only source of social interaction these days, sadly

[velvet dagger]

It might be my primary source next year

[fresh comet]

it's been my primary source for the last 16 months, for better or for worse

I'm honestly leaning for the better

I probably would just have nearly no interactions otherwise

[jagged forge]

well, better than having none at all yes

it’s definitely made a positive impact for me

i didn’t really know anyone doing math and i probably would have never started studying probability seriously

[fresh comet]

this server and its spinoffs have probably made me smile more in the last 3 months than I did in my first 18 years of life

[long matrix]

it seems i am capable of ordinary social interaction irl, but its pretty impossible to initiate it

[fresh comet]

why sadpanda

I'm saying that this server is good!

[jagged forge]

well i think everyone ought to have plenty of smiles in their first 18 years of life

[deep mango]

omg valley <3 i love valley <3 valley kun <3

[deep mango]

just be yourself bro

[long matrix]

if i dont change myself i wont make real life interactions

[pure hollow]

why is this true...

[true zinc]

Has it already been that long? Holy fucking shit

[timid bronze]

hi i showered and am not stinky like ryc

[deep mango]

i literally just showered!?

before you!?

[long matrix]

[deep mango]

because colby and i were done watching, and he wanted to make noodles but then potentially talk more after

so i said i would take the opportunity to shower and then he giggled

[long matrix]

i woke up before ryc

[deep mango]

woke up what

its 11pm

im going to sleep soon

[long matrix]

so i did

[deep mango]

[timid bronze]

i thougnt i left my earrings at home and i was gonna cry

I lowkey need to wear them more

or my ears r gonna close

[mystic glade]

Go grab them asap

[timid bronze]

Theyre with me

i wanted to wear them tomorrow

If im not lazy to

[mystic glade]

Then wear it

[timid bronze]

not when im ab to sleep

[mystic glade]

Just wear it when you are about to sleep

[velvet dagger]

That seems to be the precise thing she doesn't wanna do

[timid bronze]

Hi

[twin flicker]

hi

[sage prawn]

hello

[mystic glade]

Hi

[halcyon magnet]

is anyone here graduated (bachelor of mathematics) from UK Open uni?
i am looking for decent enough master program (also pure maths) in europe (outside uk), and a bit confused in choice.
i have seen sorbonne lately and acceptance rate there is very low + i don't have any academic achievements (olympiads, or, for instance, i was never teaching etc). so top universities (germany's bonn, zurich eth) not suitable (this is my opinion, you can argue, i will be appreciate for any comments). i can prepare and take exams but my main worry i don't have any portfolio, so if somebody has been in such situation it will be a huge help to hear your opinion.

🔍 Looking for Someone Who’s Curious About Maths & Physics! 🧠⚙️

Hey everyone 👋,

I’m on a journey to deeply explore maths and physics — not just to study them, but to truly understand how the universe works.

I’m looking for someone who:

Loves solving problems and asking “why?”

Enjoys exploring ideas in math and physics — from the basics to mind-blowing theories

Wants to learn together, share insights, build projects, or even teach others

[thorn wren]

hopefully next pride is better :(

[alpine copper]

👀

[haughty lion]

The proof technique was very cool

I dont remember any details either though

[thorn wren]

Me but equivalence of simplicial and singular homology

[storm sage]

that one's not so bad (five lemma)

[haughty lion]

We didnt cover simplicial homology in my course, but same for most low level details about homology

Barycentric subdivision and the like

[thorn wren]

Oh I love the 5 lemma

I was sick the lecture where we proved it and never bothered to read the proof because I got told not to bother

[glass peak]

It’s annoying, but it’s not so hard

[neat lintel]

I did that earlier this week with @odd brook

Wait

You were there

[odd brook]

ah we never went over the equivalence actually

that proof is so technical

i know the gist of it but i've never returned to it since i looked at it in hatcher ages ago

[thorn wren]

many such cases

[neat lintel]

But hatcher defines it in terms of the delta complexes I remember

And he mentions simplicial but sticks with delta

I dont remember if he ever explains why he does that or if there is a difference

[glass peak]

Every delta complex is homotopy equivalent to a simplical complex, you just take the barycentric subdivision twice

It’s an exercise in chapter 2 somewhere

[neat lintel]

Mmok thats good to know

[glass peak]

The proof is geometrically clear and deeply annoying to actually write out

[mint canopy]

I feel quite happy with that

That was fun

[drowsy nimbus]

can i pay anyone for math help

[mint canopy]

We discourage this

People will answer your questions if you just ask!

See #❓how-to-get-help

[drowsy nimbus]

i feel bad doing it for rfree

i need so much help

[mint canopy]

Well fortunately people will be very happy to help for free if you simply state your questions clearly

People do this because they enjoy it, remember :)

It's best to just ask!

[neat lintel]

I dont think I did well either

The more corse styles I got wrong

Coarse

Like the impressionist art

The coarser art styles have inconsistent lighting as their tell

Human art styles obviously have fingers as their tell

But besides idk what else you can go off of

https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fffdbfa46-f1d7-4e73-bf3a-a4fbffe935b6_740x557.jpeg

Like this one was hard for me

Maybe it was the resolution

Bht the cloth had some inconsistency that I was thinking that maybe it was just the resolution

And also the shading is bad

The light source is inconsistent since forearm on left is dark but leg is light

Could be human inconsistency but idk oil that well

[kind sphinx]

I got an interview with Mathnasium tomorrow for the teacher position, anyone got any tips?

[ocean harbor]

do your best

[mint canopy]

Get a good night's sleep

[foggy meadow]

I mean some of the form is off too, but I think it's all artistic choice.

[neat lintel]

What part specifically

I thought the form was perfect tbh

[foggy meadow]

The forearm is huge when compared to the rest of the upperarm.

[neat lintel]

But thats just body types

Some ppl are buff

[foggy meadow]

That's not what I mean.

[neat lintel]

Both forearms are gigantic

[foggy meadow]

Yes

[neat lintel]

Like popeye has big forearms

Natty?

[foggy meadow]

Yeah, but I personally haven't seen someone like this, but I guess so.

They don't look buff to me otherwise.

[unique otter]

hey theres a math theorem relating the integral of f(x) to a*f(x/a) isnt there? or something like that? whats it called?

[solid snow]

u sub

[limber thunder]

you're probably thinking of a change of variables $$\int f(x)\mathrm dx = a\int f(u/a)\mathrm du$$

[fathom swallow]

derivada.schwarziana

[limber thunder]

basically this lol

[unique otter]

and on a bounded integral the bounds would change by being multiplied by a?

*definite integral, i mean

[limber thunder]

yep

[warm umbra]

[unique otter]

wait this is wrong though

e.g integrating x from 0 to 1 is not equal to 2 * the integral of x/2 from 0 to 2

[limber thunder]

er yes this here is wrong, the term outside the integral should be 1/a rather than a if we use the change of variables x=u/a

ig that has to do with what you're saying

[unique otter]

gotcha

[worthy loom]

I recently learned using integral to calculate square/volume of certain solids/shapes

and I have heard there is a rule called simpson's rule

so I wish to learn further on this topic

[leaden torrent]

look into "newton-cotes fomulas"

simpson's rule is a special case of them

theyre formulas for approximating numerical definite integrals

you can also look into "gaussian quadrature", which is similar but not quite the same

[worthy loom]

okay ty!

[leaden torrent]

if you want a reference, see section 8.3 "Numerical Quadrature" in Heath's Scientific Computing

[worthy loom]

👍

[haughty lion]

Another cool method is Gaussian quadrature

Hey I came up why god can’t exist but there’s not that enough information tho so basically you that multiverse theory where he big bang is exploding and creating universes if our universe wasn’t created by a god but it was created by luck and if someone did created us who created them but I mean god could but just using a dice in a macro world and our is a micro verse and it’s just testing

[old oak]

Also I love this combination of username and message content

[harsh jetty]

hello everyone, i am second year math undergraduate in a notoriously difficult and theoretical math department in greece. So far i have loved it, i am fortunate enough to have passed every class except for 2, including abstract algebra, topology of metric spaces and an intro to real analysis. I believe i love what many consider "real math" (meaning proofs, rigorous research etc), however i often feel discouraged when i hear people tell me that after a point pure math is just pointless torture where you try to prove useless theorems without having a life outside of math. I know getting a math phd is hard work but...that sounds a bit excessive. Im sending this message in hopes of hearing from someone who got into math research or is currently getting a phd about their experience 🙂

[deep mango]

oh, well, to be blunt youre probably mostly hearing things from people who are either not there yet or wanted to study pure math and didnt get to the point where they could and are trying to make themselves feel better

most people who work in theoretical math can choose how much of a work life balance they establish. some people love and breathe the material and do work long hours, but math is a very social field (lots of collaborations and seminars and conferences and so on) so those people are still enjoying themselves socially and getting a full happy career

some people (like me) are more balanced and view their work as work. i spend a lot of time outside, getting exercise, socializing, having stupid romantic adventures, enjoying games and shows, and i work during the week for normal hours on what i want to get done. sure, it's not like im getting things done quickly, but math research is a marathon, not a sprint. and spending time on other things gives your subconscious time to settle and organize information youve been thinking actively about

in math you can choose to prove "useless theorems" if you want, but those theorems will always be at the start of a pipeline of research that starts from "math that applies to other math" but eventually ends up at "math that applies to many important things in science, policy, the world". its possible your one theorem wont, or that your subfield wont for 50 years, but if you want your name plastered all over the world on a company logo, i feel like your motivations for science could shift a little

everyone in science and math is working together collaboratively to make small boosts that together result in huge movements for both people and knowledge

when you go to conferences and talks more often, this feels a lot more pertinent

but even more directly to you, theres plenty of pure math that connects immediately to more applied fields, physics, etc. i work on theory of partial differential equations and dynamical systems, the theorems i have worked on proving are completely pure math without approximations or numerics or experiments, but they also have immediate physical interpretations and consequences for applications

theres a ton of math like that and it exists in every field. many undergrads who have no idea what theyre talking about will have you believe that the only thing youre allowed to do in math is abstract algebraic geometry where the theory is contravariant functors of schemes and the applications are counting curves on hypersurfaces. that stuff is great and fascinating but that is a tiny window into the world of pure math research and you should absolutely open yourself up to the idea that in every field people are doing work that is not just important, but immediately important

thats a lot but the TLDR is: the stuff youre hearing is myths, people in math have balanced lives with plenty of socialization and research math is to a large degree very connected to the world and other fields of science.

hey, im so sorry for the delayed answer, thanks for answering and writing so much :DDDD, im happy to hear that, since thats what i hoped, especially the part of socializing within math circles given that i loved since school to talk with so many different people about the same subject we loved, math. Im sure it isnt all easy and happy either but im thankful that at least i now know that getting a phd is more...humane and not just isolation to the point of insanity, you really covered every single question i should ask so, thanks 🙂

[kind sphinx]

It went pretty normal I guess, the interviewer was happy with my answers and it was a pretty fast interview . They said that they are currently a bit overstaffed and that they would like to hire me in late-July... So I think it went well 🤷‍♂️ . Who knows 🙂

I want to become a graduate student and research over seas (Japan), but I don't know how to do this since most student-exchanges "boot" you after a year (if I'm not mistaken). How do I become a permanent student overseas?

apply to a university overseas

[royal stirrup]

so just as if I where a native?

[solid snow]

No, they have instructions for international applicants

[royal stirrup]

ah. So, just making sure, I wouldn't be looking for exchange programs

[halcyon magnet]

does anybody know if i am already studying at university and it does not provide bachelor thesis track, can i start doing Bsc thesis by myself (i have a nearly phd person who can check/fix my work)?
what are criterias to consider this as a valid bachelor's work from the university/law perspective?

[velvet dagger]

This depends on each university

If your university doesn't have some process to do a bachelor's thesis, then a project which you do won't count as a bachelor's thesis

It'll just be some random project you do. If it's legit, then you could broadcast it on your website, arxiv, maybe publish, etc as a personal project

[narrow carbon]

oh it was the case with us as well, they werent conducting the bachlors thesis. But after a lot of struggle then convenienced for it

[timid portal]

@shell vigil @neat lintel I have a followup to that question on counting equivalence relations; if you know that there's a one-to-one correspondence between equivalence relations on a set X and partitions of a set X, then you can just as well count set partitions. In particular, an equivalence relation R on a set X contains the elements (a,b) and (b,a) if and only if a and b both lie in the same cell of the equivalence relation's corresponding partition.

The upshot is, counting equivalence relations on {1,2,3} with (1,2) and (2,1) in the relation is equivalent to counting the number of ways to partition {1,2,3} in such a way that 1 and 2 live in the same cell. Your choices for such partitions are easily seen from the perspective of 3: given {1,2} is a bag, does 3 go in the same bag, or does it live in a bag of its own? The former yields {1,2,3} (corresponds to everything being related) and {1,2}, {3} (corresponds to 3 being related to only itself). So, there's only two set partitions with this criteria, and thus exactly two equivalence relations.

oh, true

well I taught it that way since mostly when we're doing jee it's taught to us that way but this does seem like an easier alternative

For sure, your way is certainly valid; I just thought I'd share this, since it's a bit friendlier to count

or rather, it's snazzy lol

This does ask for the prior knowledge that equivalence relations and set partitions are effectively the same, but it's probably a good exercise to demonstrate their relationship

it's just extra

yeah i like it, ty for lmk

It's called YOLO
