[unborn meteor]

uhh <@&268886789983436800>

nooo i didn't see sorry for double ping

[glass solar]

ay i got a random question for anyone with career knowledge/advice. im a math undergrad and i have a chance to get a CS minor by taking a class that is notoriously difficult and unfun over the summer. would my employment prospects improve enough to make the sacrifice worth it or should i not even bother

[solid snow]

what is the class

[glass solar]

it's low-level programming. assembly, C, pointers, memory management, etc. in theory i would like it but i have hesitations.

[latent edge]

i dont think a cs minor is worth the effort but you do you

[glass solar]

like it won't meaningfully improve my resume?

[latent edge]

[solid snow]

Probably not

It would probably be more worth it to work on a personal project

[glass solar]

this is great news

[shell vigil]

What about a math minor as a cs major?

[solid snow]

Idt employers really care about minors

[shell vigil]

I'm thinking whether to choose a cs-related minor like ai-ml or do math

[solid snow]

Most impactful stuff on resume is previous experience and personal projects

[shell vigil]

Yes, but if it were just to increase my experience?

Would it be worth the effort?

[solid snow]

Your experience in what?

What job are you trying to get?

[shell vigil]

Well I'm not in college yet

But im going to be doing cs core

So thinking if i want to do ai ml with it

[shell vigil]

ai

[shell vigil]

in a couple months

Maybe this is not enough data to give advice idk

[solid snow]

I mean, it would be helpful to take courses to learn about something if that's what you want to do

[shell vigil]

Yeah my purpose with the minor is more about trying to learn something new than leveraging that for a job

Just wondering if I can handle the workload and it would end up meaning something

[glass solar]

not to bombard you with questions - i've been working on a computer algebra program for about a year. is that the sort of project that might be worth investing more time in (like making a GUI) or is that the wrong direction? id like to use my math skills + programming.

[solid snow]

No idea

[latent edge]

They are likely to care more if your personal project is related to what they are doing

[glass solar]

😩

that's not gonna happen. good to know though.

[latent edge]

Yeah I understand

Most of my big projects are math related and I saw the experience

At one interview I had to explain why my computer algebra system was related to fintech stuff

horrible experience lol

[glass solar]

lmao well i guess i might be a bit fucked with this degree. we'll see i suppose.

[latent edge]

imo if you enjoy what you are doing

just keep up with it

[glass solar]

thats what people keep telling me

but mans gotta eat

[latent edge]

I say this because I know 70% of the cs majors here are not doing cs for cs

They burn out pretty quickly after the second year

[ocean robin]

[jagged forge]

hello tabby

[ocean robin]

hello showomark

[jagged forge]

r u cozy

[solid snow]

A good strat is to look at job listings and see what skills and qualifications theyre looking for

and try to pick those up

[ocean robin]

i am‼️

[jagged forge]

noice

it’s nice and quiet here

[ocean robin]

heck yeah

[jagged forge]

what r u up to

[ocean robin]

rotting in bed, my favorite hobby

hbu?

[jagged forge]

stuck on this stupid math problem

[ocean robin]

real

[jagged forge]

i think i know how it’s supposed to go but idk how to formalize it. sad

[ocean robin]

is it analysis 😨

[jagged forge]

ya

[ocean robin]

YUCKKK

[jagged forge]

yuck indeed

[dreamy ore]

how would one project an ellipse onto another plane

[timid bronze]

@dreamy ore Oh ok

[dreamy ore]

given that the original plane has normal vector v and the second plane has normal vector u

[dreamy ore]

whats up

[timid bronze]

Im taking the test rn

[dreamy ore]

oh ok

-# why are we talking here tho

[timid bronze]

bc we can

[dreamy ore]

but the ellipse is given in planar coordinates in the original plane

[dreamy ore]

but why not dms

[timid bronze]

Ugh i forgot how long this test is

[timid bronze]

So i can ping dami

[dreamy ore]

its not that long bro

[timid bronze]

YES IT IS

[dreamy ore]

ill ping him for u

@velvet dagger

[timid bronze]

Depends.

[dreamy ore]

theres the gray button

dummy

[timid bronze]

Yes ik

Im js

[velvet dagger]

Yo wassup

[dreamy ore]

ally pinged u

[timid bronze]

dami ur role color is so cute

the gradient

[dreamy ore]

said smth about

[velvet dagger]

Tyty

[dreamy ore]

you being a sloth

and how she hates sloths

[timid bronze]

Wtf ?

YES.

[dreamy ore]

nah

fuck emotions

[velvet dagger]

Dayum

[dreamy ore]

i love numbers

[fresh comet]

[dreamy ore]

its why im in the math discord

[dreamy ore]

omg hi higherrr

[fresh comet]

what test are we taking?

[dreamy ore]

btw this is a joke

i am F

[ocean robin]

what is that nickname color :o

[dreamy ore]

mbti

[fresh comet]

hello shiru, ally, Dami, Tabby, suremark

[ocean robin]

hi higher!

[jagged forge]

so true

[timid bronze]

mbti

last time i took it was like mid hs and i got ENFJ

Ik ive changed so much

so im retaking it

[ocean robin]

im an infp

[fresh comet]

lemme take it

[dreamy ore]

infp is most common at least here

i think

[jagged forge]

i will pretty much always be intp or infp

[timid bronze]

school and work makes me more introverted fr esp my current job cuzi come to my dorm so tired from socializing

[timid bronze]

Fuck u

[latent edge]

meow

[velvet dagger]

I think I got ENTP-T when I took it some time back

[timid bronze]

Emotions r important to me but i will often prioritize a fact

[velvet dagger]

But yeah the wording of the questions on these is definitely tricky

[dreamy ore]

yeah infp is most common

[ocean robin]

yay im basic

:D

[latent edge]

I used to get INTJ which was cringe

nowadays it's ENTJ 🗿

[velvet dagger]

Ryc clocked it completely

[dreamy ore]

i am esfp

used to be isfp

[ocean robin]

clocky tea hold the boots

[dreamy ore]

idk about the stats in ur country tho

lol

i just know infp is most common here

[zealous garden]

I am always INTP

Once I got ISTP

[timid bronze]

Ugh then again it depends.

[ocean robin]

ah real :] i dont know what it is where i am

[timid bronze]

more yes though

[true zinc]

Numbers and data are objective in most cases, therefore I find it odd that one would not prefer them over emotions

[latent edge]

I agree with Ryan

[fresh comet]

[true zinc]

someone gimme a link to this

[latent edge]

mbti

[true zinc]

thanks

[dreamy ore]

i feel like the strictly following numbers and data approach will somehow inevitably lead to eugenics

[latent edge]

I'm disappointed in you, higher.

[timid bronze]

exactly

[dreamy ore]

"society will be more efficient without all these disabled people, look how much the gdp will increase"

[timid bronze]

also not everything that matters can be counted

[jagged forge]

i like numbers and data, but i don’t fool myself into thinking that’s all my decisions are based on

[true zinc]

INFP-T

[dreamy ore]

also a lot of sexist arguments rely on like.. data on how hormones affect the body

[velvet dagger]

In this particular case probably not because eugenics is not quite a matter of "Oh it would do the job but it's immoral", as far as I know it also wouldn't work: the science doesn't support this

But as a general principle yeah, there is a common error whereby people try to turn everything into some EV/optimization problem and say okay cool we're getting the objectively correct answers here, but then failing to consider that what you're optimizing for carries built in values

[ocean robin]

thats what i got too

[jaunty ibex]

"Happy anime about a guy supporting the girl he loves"
Twitter: this guy is a fucking r*pist

????

[dreamy ore]

yeah

[jaunty ibex]

wtf is wrong with people

[true zinc]

IMO No because one should have good ethical bounds which would instantly make you reconsider that

[true zinc]

Context

[fresh comet]

?

[jaunty ibex]

Social media

[jaunty ibex]

@light horizon higher model theory arc

[velvet dagger]

I don't think that's enough context

Like... Are the people on Twitter making a claim about this person which is false?

[dreamy ore]

T?? unexpected

[true zinc]

Yes, so one must always consider the implicit cost function, which is actually why we can never get things done because that implicitly has some values and nothing can be completely neutral in values and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[jaunty ibex]

Yes it is false

[dreamy ore]

thoufht ud defo be F higher

[true zinc]

well, then again, I have my own values

[jaunty ibex]

Wait why tf dami is blocked

wait

[true zinc]

But I can't actually think based off those because "that biases me"

[fresh comet]

what does that T stand for?

[timid bronze]

ENFJ to INFP i go

[dreamy ore]

idk
but it means ur more factual

[dreamy ore]

less emotionally feeling

[jaunty ibex]

You have a sweet anime depicting a guy helping a girl who's wheelchaired

[dreamy ore]

oh T is thinking

@fresh comet

[fresh comet]

I'm curious as to why you wouldn't expect that

[jaunty ibex]

Then people are like "this guy is a creep this is why men are bad"

[dreamy ore]

Ts are usually not as nice as u

[timid bronze]

Curious why my assertiveness is low

Id consider myself an assertive person

i dont like a person getting away with shit

[fresh comet]

I have a history

[ocean robin]

real

[velvet dagger]

Ah... Yeah if they're just dishonestly framing him as creepy when it's positive that's fucked up

[dreamy ore]

i see....

higher lore...

[dreamy ore]

this intrigues me

[jagged forge]

this is anti T propaganda smh

[fresh comet]

long story short, I wasn't always as nice as I ostensibly am now :p

[timid bronze]

Ig it matters who the person is

Ive definitely given some ppl more chances than i shouldve compared to other ppl bc i felt super close to them but eventually i was like ok u need to go

[velvet dagger]

There's also what I practice vs what I preach

[fresh comet]

this is what I got

[timid bronze]

ngl i used to think fomo was like a meme but i get it now since college like i see fomo occassionally in me

[fresh comet]

98% is uhhh

[velvet dagger]

Like I tell people to not deal with stuff and to be willing to cut people off etc

[fresh comet]

a result

[velvet dagger]

But have definitely been way too patient with people

[jagged forge]

not entirely unexpected

[velvet dagger]

And been walked over somewhat as a result

[timid bronze]

Oh once i realize ive been walked over i be going offff on them

Lmfao

[ocean robin]

i got 98% introverted too!!!

[fresh comet]

https://tenor.com/view/bocchi-the-rock-anime-hug-gif-27051273

[ocean robin]

i love being introverted

[timid bronze]

for me its fomo like sometimes i think its worth fighting for after an experience i had that was worth fighting for

But like sometimes im just like ok nothing is going to change no point

[velvet dagger]

Yeah that's fair

I guess for me the first impression kicks in somewhat hard

So if I like the person enough by the time whatever happens happens, there's a fairly high leniency before I decide enough is enough

Often a bit too much

[timid bronze]

i mean depends what they do

i have things that r like immediate cut offs for me

no mercy

[velvet dagger]

Idk I guess it's a bit of fomo/I don't generally like losing people

[timid bronze]

and there r some things ill legit only give a 2nd chance for'

[timid bronze]

Eh

when i was more extroverted i was getting tired of the energy

i was hoping to cut down my circle. not specific people but having a smaller circle of more meaningful friendships

[velvet dagger]

Gotcha

[timid bronze]

i have most energy in smaller circles

[velvet dagger]

Hard for me to say what my shtick is when it comes to energy. I think I have some friendships which naturally tend to the forefront, circles I tend to be more active in than others

It helps when it's a small to medium sized group which is super super active

[jaunty ibex]

Omg social media is fucking insane. Don't women want a good man that supports them and do all the nice stuff like how is this not the baseline woman fantasy

[light horizon]

I am also an MBTI logician. I only just realized how fitting that is.

[jaunty ibex]

This is funny

[fresh comet]

I guess I'll start doing model theory with you then

[timid bronze]

i mean there r some things ill do w a large group of ppl

like karaoke if its all ppl ik

Not super close but know

[velvet dagger]

I can't speak for others super easily but yeah I could def see some ideas toward "What do you look for in a partner" being warped by the internet

[timid bronze]

lol i was dancing on a pole in karaoke yesterday

But i hate spotlight most times

[jagged forge]

today i am an INTP

[velvet dagger]

Seems like you had fun!

[timid bronze]

Dont even send the vm i sent in the gc here

I sound like im drunk.

[velvet dagger]

LMAO

[jagged forge]

u and half the server

[jaunty ibex]

Yeah I get it some women just have bad experience and want to project so hard and make men look bad every single time they get the chance

[timid bronze]

Oh yea i js remembered

A friend offered to paint my nails for me tonight

I need to hurry up playing n go.

[velvet dagger]

ooooo nice

[storm sage]

Link the site maybe I'll do this test again for the umpteenth time

I always get different results

[latent edge]

mbti

[jagged forge]

16personalities.com

[storm sage]

Cool

[storm sage]

I don't think I've ever gotten ENTJ before but here we are LOL

[limber thunder]

i always get something different in these things smh

[storm sage]

Same I also think my answers are kinda contradictory sometimes

But oh well

[limber thunder]

ich habe paranoide schizophrenie

[storm sage]

I think last time I took this I got INFP

so three of the letters changed

[limber thunder]

where's the test link

[storm sage]

the one thing I'm definitely not is observant 🫡

[storm sage]

scroll up

[jagged forge]

whew u learn something new about urself every day i guess…

[limber thunder]

trying

lol

[jagged forge]

i’ve never tested anything other than infp or intp

[jagged forge]

wtf

[limber thunder]

is it just https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test

[velvet dagger]

Thing is, I feel like the wording of the questions and your mood on that day kinda influence the responses a good bit

So yeah it def makes sense that the test changes

[limber thunder]

ok INFP-T is the one I get most often so it's fine

true about the mood dami

also sometimes I just answer real quickly and in either extreme of the scale and other times I actually think it through

this time I did quick and extreme lol

[jagged forge]

definitely feel that, i think i was barely assertive last time and now i’m barely leaning towards turbulent

the questions about prioritizing facts vs feelings are kind of annoying cuz like

[simple ruin]

Hello

[jagged forge]

i mean in a way other people’s feelings are kind of facts

especially if you work on a team idk

so it’s always context dependent for me

[limber thunder]

yeah a lot of these questions I feel would change depending on context

[limber thunder]

and now that I think of it I've always gotten results closer to 50% in nearly all these scales

today I just decided to answer in a particularly extreme way disregarding nuance

[jagged forge]

yea i was gonna say lol

[limber thunder]

it's still fairly accurate tho

like maybe I can adapt but this is closer to my default state lol

[jagged forge]

yeah

i used to be infp when i was younger

dunno when i started to change

[limber thunder]

hmm

[limber thunder]

I've gotten INTJ when younger because of this

nowadays I think I've gotten far more "FP" in general though

[jagged forge]

inchresting

uhh

<@&268886789983436800> unsolicited ad?

[wild lantern]

Please don't advertise here

[tall badge]

oops i killed

[latent edge]

lol im not alone

tbh im kinda happy i dont get INTJ anymore

it's still INTJ but replace I->E

[limber thunder]

I->E would be a cheat code tho

[latent edge]

wdym by cheat code?

[limber thunder]

just that a lot of successful people are stereotypically extroverted lol

[latent edge]

oh that

yeah idk i am very extroverted nowadays

[limber thunder]

it's a skill that can be trained

or faked to some extent lol

treat networking as a job and then have some alone time to yourself

[latent edge]

i think networking got a lot better since uni

i did not like the idea of socializing in high school

[limber thunder]

hs just sucks

uni more fun

[latent edge]

true

[timid bronze]

@velvet dagger hot take

i fucking hate sugar cookies

[limber thunder]

that is a certified hot take

[twin flicker]

this is a normal take i think\

[latent edge]

like these?

[velvet dagger]

Somewhat hot take since people like sugar cookies but honestly they are fairly mid

[jagged forge]

hate is a strong word

[velvet dagger]

Without the frosting or anything

[latent edge]

i dont like them either

they are ok

[jagged forge]

i don’t hate them, they’re just ok

[jagged forge]

mid is pretty apt ig

[limber thunder]

yeah the frosting makes them better lol

[latent edge]

true

[timid bronze]

Is it

my driends r like WHAT

[timid bronze]

no the ones dami sent

but ngl those too w the frodting

both r ew

[twin flicker]

yea it is

[jagged forge]

here’s the real question

what’s worse. sugar cookies or oatmeal raisin

[timid bronze]

sugar cookies

[jagged forge]

(i actually really like oatmeal raisin)

[timid bronze]

oatmeal raisins r tolerable

i can fake like oatmeal raisin

i cant w sugar cookies

[jagged forge]

they usually have a bit of spice which is nice

[strong fractal]

Discussion and discussion 2 are so different lol

[timid bronze]

i find d1 to be rapid fire fast and i dont like that

makes it harder for me to read convos

[fresh comet]

each has their own merits, imo

sometimes the speed is good, because things get buried faster

[timid bronze]

which things though

because bad things shouldnt be buried it should be seen and reported

[fresh comet]

I should say, my things

it's a weird feeling where I sometimes just don't like some of my messages being out in the open for a super long time for everybody to read

[wooden falcon]

we’re doing astrology now?

[deep mango]

umm

they're disgusting

[deep mango]

way better than footmeal raisin

[velvet dagger]

Yeah regrettably ryc is correct here

Sugar cookies roflstomp oatmeal raisin

No diff

[warm umbra]

Agreed.

[cold needle]

bruh

sugar cookies are so…

They lack maturity.

[vernal iron]

hello there chat

how do y'all do?

[fallow trail]

great

[cold needle]

im okay, how are you

[vernal iron]

good 👍

[vernal iron]

that's good

[fallow trail]

thx

[jagged forge]

this sentence goes hard

[velvet dagger]

@cold needle oh wait now that you're here

There's something I wanted to tell you

[cold needle]

this is atypical

but ill bite the hook

[velvet dagger]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7rp7lfveBeA

[craggy parcel]

sugar cookies are in an equivalence class with shortbread

the equivalence class is called "boring"

[cold needle]

oh no

NO no no no

no

i think raisins and dates r some of like the most gross fruits ever but

Raisin cookie 1000x more tolerable than a sugar cookie

[south thicket]

what's cookin with raisins and datess

[timid bronze]

My friend has been spamming me to go sleep

So time to sleep

[rocky shuttle]

No, boring is just a field

[deep mango]

thats def true

[rocky shuttle]

Good morning ryc

Raisins and dates are fine for me

But I think any kind of dried fruit is gross

[solid yarrow]

What about mango or apple slices :(

Or banana with peanut butter

[rocky shuttle]

As I said, I don't like any kind of dried fruit

[brittle socket]

Not even, say, dried mango?

[rocky shuttle]

Fresh mango is so much better

[ocean robin]

[shell vigil]

Same

[rocky shuttle]

[oak sorrel]

what time was it fornu

[neon garnet]

yay discussion 2!

[glossy nymph]

I have no idea how Im gonna do this

basically for my uni I need to do a math test cuz I wanna study engineering, now the belgium system is very special and bassicaly I had 5 hours of math a week instead of 6
and you need to learn everything the people with 6 hours of math have learned to complete the test, but the problem is is that I dont really have a clear guide as to what I do and dont know compared to them because we see the same topics but they see them more in-depth

[craggy parcel]

which topics?

[glossy nymph]

literally everything from 1st grade to senior year can be included

[craggy parcel]

well whats the senior year material

[glossy nymph]

wait a min, there was a bundel with exercices that I found this is the translated version

1 READY?

1.1 Basic calculation skills
1.2 Matrices and systems
1.3 Functions and graphs
1.4 Inverse function
1.5 Exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions
1.6 Limits
1.7 Derivatives
1.8 Integrals
1.9 Trigonometry, plane geometry and vector calculations
1.10 Solid geometry
1.11 Polynomials
1.12 Complex numbers
1.13 Problems
1.14 Counting problems / probability / statistics
SET?

2 Graphical and geometrical representations: basics
2.1 Graphical representations
2.2 Geometrical representations
3 Working with formulas: basics

3.1 Calculation skills
3.2 Matrices and systems of equations
3.3 Trigonometric equations
3.4 Polynomials
3.5 Complex numbers
3.6 Counting problems / probability / statistics
4 Mathematical analysis: basics

4.1 Real functions: sign chart, domain, limits
4.2 Derivatives
4.3 Integrals

GO!
5 Graphical and geometrical representations, problems: challenge
6 Working with formulas: challenge

6.1 Calculation skills
6.2 Matrices and systems of equations
6.3 Trigonometric equations
6.4 Polynomials
6.5 Complex numbers
6.6 Counting problems / probability / statistics

So these are the subjects but like for exampel complex numbers like yeah I know yk quite a bit about them but as I've found out not enough but theres no like guide to study what I have to know other than just the subjects

[tender heron]

You might want to censor number 5

[glossy nymph]

not really I mean its a big school idc but sure

Im not getting doxed from that haha

but yeah so its a lot of stuff and Ive attempted a practice exam and got about 12/30 but u need 19/30 to pass

[craggy parcel]

and how confident do you feel with the material besides complex numbers, derivatives, integrals, and probability/statistics

[glossy nymph]

certain things I definitely still have to learn like absolute values I basically havent seen

questions like
how many solutions does this have
|x-1| = x^2 + 1

[craggy parcel]

how long until the exam?

[glossy nymph]

there are 2 and I can participate in both

the first is juli 1st

which ideally I pass

[craggy parcel]

well these are simple enough if you know the rules

[glossy nymph]

but the other one is august 28th

[glossy nymph]

yeah the thing is like Its not that im not smart enough to solve the questions the ones I can do I can do, I just cant know the things ive never learned

yk

[craggy parcel]

yeah makes sense. so you need to memorize a good bit of material in a short time. its certainly doable but youll have to work hard

[glossy nymph]

also the exam is without a calculator so its hard to confirm certain things

[craggy parcel]

youll also want to practice a lot

[glossy nymph]

yeah its exam season now but during lunches ive been sitting together with my teacher and just solving questions that I dont know how to answer and stuff

[craggy parcel]

thats the way to do it

spend some time at home as well

see if you can do them without guidance

[glossy nymph]

mhm

is there anyway here to ask yk a lot of questions

or maybe I can just ask ai these days?

cuz theyre like okay with lower level math, no?

[glossy nymph]

like for example here yk after this i have 18 questions I need to understand how to solve

[craggy parcel]

nah just ask in this discord in the appropriate channels

[glossy nymph]

okay okay

[craggy parcel]

youll develop a much better understanding that way

good luck!

[glossy nymph]

thanks

[deep mango]

@woven rapids can you vouch for @leaden skiff in evanvivor, he wants to spectate

[leaden skiff]

Hey everypony

How is you doing

[stable elbow]

?

I said everypony in the message prior but the thing you find cringe is me asking how are you

[shell vigil]

Lmfao.

[ocean harbor]

chillin'

[timid bronze]

just me? no, it would hardly change. but id worry about loved ones

[timid bronze]

its not that you dont matter, its just that not everyone knows you, and not everyone will. but even if you dont always feel good about how you look, there are still people whose day gets better just because you exist

people who are "stereotypically attractive" can still have bad attitudes and ruin others days

sometimes its hard to feel seen or appreciated, but you matter more than you realize. even if it doesnt always feel that way. we all have good and bad days, and we all affect people around us, even in small ways

[stable elbow]

Nice

[jaunty olive]

Y'all do u really do math all day?

[shell vigil]

Yuh

You should too

[rocky shuttle]

math all day keeps the impostor syndrome at bay

[jaunty olive]

I'll after exams:)

[shell vigil]

That's a good one

[junior veldt]

unfortunately not ime :(

[stable elbow]

Among us

[latent edge]

true

[timid bronze]

nothing really helps my occasional impostor syndrome, but mine isnt about school or academics. its more about feeling unsure of myself with basic things that are supposed to be common sense (excluding when it comes to being ethical or making moral decisions). if that makes sense

[latent edge]

Just forget about your problems for a while. You will be surprised how useful this is

[fresh comet]

I have a huge common sense insecurity myself

[timid bronze]

It’s not really this either hut this is a good tip

[fresh comet]

everything is common sense but somehow I’m incompetent with all of it

[timid bronze]

it’s how i feel ab people getting basic things so fast and i dont

[rocky shuttle]

[timid bronze]

Ikr

[fresh comet]

so I feel like I’m failing all the time

and then I also don’t get better at it easily

[timid bronze]

Fr

since uni ive struggling putting my thoughts into words

admitting to smth thats basic to others feels a bit embarrassing for me. i will well admit but like :p

[latent edge]

Ally if this makes you feel better, I went to buy some groceries today and my friend told me to get aubergines. I went to the section and I read aubergines as automorphic forms and representations

[timid bronze]

LMAO

[rocky shuttle]

You really take automorphic forms and representations to the next level

[fresh comet]

I should say that there’re many things that I’m unwilling to admit to, regardless of if it’s online or in person

[latent edge]

But yeah I understand what you feel

[timid bronze]

its not something i beat myself over hence i say its occasionally

[fresh comet]

I’m unwilling to admit to these things because I’m ashamed of them and embarrassed by them

[timid bronze]

its just like smth i feel

[fresh comet]

especially things that other people seem to get or do incredibly easily

[timid bronze]

Like how do they get it so quick and i need it reexplained 55 times

real higher

[rocky shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-eevee-scared-gif-4780114

[fresh comet]

whenever I see people talk about xyz thing that I struggle badly with like it’s a natural thing, it makes me feel deeply inadequate

[timid bronze]

well i think its good to admit or ull never know

[fresh comet]

I don’t talk about this because it makes me feel bad

but also because I think others will start to question me incredulously

[timid bronze]

Makes me feel bad too but if u dont talk ab it u wont find people who can understand ur story

[timid bronze]

yeah understandable

[jaunty ibex]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[fresh comet]

like “wdym you can’t do that isn’t that easy???”

[jaunty ibex]

THIS KADE MY DAY

[fresh comet]

and I can’t take the heat

I’m online to escape the heat from irl anyways

this is part of the reason why I consistently think people overrate me

I’ve shoved all the ugly details under the rug and made myself look presentable here

maybe a poor choice on my end, but I cannot talk about some of my shortcomings without falling into a deep abyss

so it is what it is

[timid bronze]

no ones overrating u

Higher many people feel the same way as us

[fresh comet]

people on this server think too highly of me because I’ve only shown them good aspects of myself

[timid bronze]

i know some people who have done nasty things in the past

[fresh comet]

I’m sure that image would crumble if they knew more

[timid bronze]

but if theyve learned and changed thats what matters

i get the feeling though

i still often think mistakes i made years ago

how u feels understandable

[junior veldt]

you have…?

[rocky shuttle]

I think higher of higher!

[fresh comet]

you should start thinking lower… of me

[junior veldt]

ok done, now what

[fresh comet]

I’m unwilling to show anything else

[rocky shuttle]

[fresh comet]

congratulations

[rocky shuttle]

And there's no need to, right?

[junior veldt]

thank youuuuu

[fresh comet]

no, and I literally can’t do it anyways

[junior veldt]

idk what I did honestly

[fresh comet]

so uhh, yeah

[rocky shuttle]

You just did think lower of higher...

[junior veldt]

oh ok nice

should I do that more

[rocky shuttle]

That's up to you (?)

[fresh comet]

uhh, your choice I suppose

[timid bronze]

Higher

ily

[fresh comet]

ily2

[junior veldt]

how low do you want me to go

[fresh comet]

well, the pessimistic voice in my head says that everybody should think of me as pathetic and walking garbage, but I don’t think that’s a reasonable ask

[junior veldt]

see there’s a contradiction here

[fresh comet]

so uhh, it’s your choice on that end too

[junior veldt]

if you want me to think of you as pathetic and walking garbage

then there’s no reason for me to listen to what a pleb like you has to say

[junior veldt]

but then there’s no reason for me to listen to this either

[fresh comet]

[junior veldt]

it’s like a “this sentence is false” paradox

if you get what I mean

[timid bronze]

i cannot think of someone who makes me and so many others happy as a walking garbage

[fresh comet]

I do!

I don’t think I want people to think of me that way though

[junior veldt]

I can unfortunately, cause I’ve met people like this

[junior veldt]

hmmmm this seems contradictory…

[timid bronze]

Wait in what way

[junior veldt]

ok I’ve made up my mind

[fresh comet]

I’m not nearly as pessimistic as I used to be!

[junior veldt]

I mean people who are good to lots of others but bad to me

[fresh comet]

the voice is still in my head

[junior veldt]

I’ve decided that you’re a pleb who has no idea what they’re talking about with regards to themselves

and so I’ll continue to think of you highly

regardless of what you say

[rocky shuttle]

this is not consistent with ZFC

[fresh comet]

hmm, I hope I haven’t treated you poorly?

[junior veldt]

no lol

I mean like ||parents||

[fresh comet]

ah. I see.

I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with that

[junior veldt]

it’s okkk

I’m better now :3

[fresh comet]

https://tenor.com/view/hug-chibird-ghosts-ghost-love-gif-20150778

[junior veldt]

thanks pleb :P

[rocky shuttle]

C stands for my own choice

[timid bronze]

oh that makes sense yeah

[junior veldt]

it’s why I don’t really believe in good or bad people

[timid bronze]

sorry too

[junior veldt]

just good or bad actions

[timid bronze]

fair. i personally do though

[fresh comet]

is my action trivial?

[junior veldt]

for me it’s just too contradictory a concept

[fresh comet]

does the intention behind the action matter?

[junior veldt]

for me it matters extremely little

[thorn wren]

Idk I haven’t integrated ur lagrangian

[junior veldt]

I’m not quite confident enough to say 0%

[rocky shuttle]

your action is faithful

[fresh comet]

I see!

[junior veldt]

but certainly a lot less than what I expect other people’s average is

[fresh comet]

seems like it

[junior veldt]

you remind me of another discord friend

he’s a very cool guy :>

[thorn wren]

Huh for me the intention matters the most

[junior veldt]

interesting

[fresh comet]

I’m flattered

[junior veldt]

u should be :P

[thorn wren]

I guess I tend to take as an axiom that people are incompetent, so their intention reveals more about them than their actions

[junior veldt]

in my case I have a lot of personal experience with “the road to hell is paved with good intentions”

[solar elm]

I feel like their actions matter a lot too, particularly noting what they do when they make a mistake

[wooden falcon]

Indeed it is not a reasonable ask.

You’re an incredibly friendly human being who every rational person is delighted and lucky to interact with.

[wooden falcon]

I will think colower of you

[jagged forge]

does that mean cohigher thinks lower of co-u

[wooden falcon]

That takes effort and work. Being kind is a conscious choice. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s something to admire really. You haven’t put up some facade. We don’t know every facet of your life, you don’t know every facet of ours. The fact you’ve been showing this part of yourself, it shows you care. And I’m sure it bleeds over into other aspects of your life too :). Kindness is contagious.

[wooden falcon]

Nah. I must say higher! A lot of what you’ve typed in this sequence is eerily familiar. On another day I may very well have written it. You’re so kind to everyone else. Please be kind to yourself. You’re enough.

[dire robin]

we can only think higher!

[wooden falcon]

No one is perfect. It’s ok to have flaws. I have many, as does anyone on this server. It doesn’t define you. Humans are complicated. The whole you is a wonderful human being (holistic view), I’m sure.

[fresh comet]

thank you for the kind words, armadillo

[neon garnet]

what is that voice trying to protect you from, and what's it afraid of?

[neon garnet]

what might happen if people think well of you?

[latent edge]

hi cleo

[neon garnet]

hi deltoid!

[latent edge]

cute

[neon garnet]

what is?

[latent edge]

wave emote

[neon garnet]

oh yepp

it is

[latent edge]

meow

[timid bronze]

wait deltoid r ur pronouns she/her

[latent edge]

for catfishing purposes yes

[fresh comet]

I strongly suspect that it's my fear of failure, of disappointing those around me. that voice tries to get me to believe I'm worthless because then, nobody should expect anything of me and I'd never fail or disappoint

[timid bronze]

oh why catfishing

[latent edge]

I want to catch creeps

[neon garnet]

is it like protecting you from feeling like a disappointment and or feeling unlovable bc of that?

this is what i had written

[timid bronze]

we all fail at points in our lives

[fresh comet]

more pressure for me, more burden on myself to live up to expectations and excel

[fresh comet]

[timid bronze]

important to give yourself grace

[latent edge]

I often have 4 voices going through my head. Pessimistic, hopeful, incredibly motivated and just meow

[timid bronze]

Oh gentleman

[neon garnet]

what happens if you were to disappoint people around you?

[fresh comet]

I wouldn't know how anybody other than the people I've already disappointed before would react

their reactions are already enough incentive for me to do my best not to disappoint anybody else

[timid bronze]

how i feel about coffee @dreamy ore

[latent edge]

coffee mentioned

time to make some

[timid bronze]

why r u having it at this time

thats bad stop

[latent edge]

hmm true

maybe that's why I've been feeling that my heart is hurting

[timid bronze]

oh uh.. please see a doctor asap thats really concerning

[latent edge]

it's okay now

[neon garnet]

oh, so ig they made you feel worthless for disappointing them, and that voice wants you to feel worthless, so that people can't possibly make you feel worse?

[latent edge]

It's mainly cuz I've been doing a lot of 2-day streak non-sleep stuff

[neon garnet]

is that the protection strategy being used here?

[timid bronze]

not good for you

you deserve rest too

[latent edge]

yeah idk at certain time I get these bad thoughts that I keep thinking about

and they dont make me sleep

[fresh comet]

that's definitely part of the story; the other part is that being peceived as worthless would make it impossible to ever disappoint again, because that's the status quo, per se

[timid bronze]

i think u should talk about those thoughts with someone you trust

[latent edge]

im going to get melatonin tomorrow

[timid bronze]

higher i really think you underestimate just how great you are

[fresh comet]

you should really go to sleep

[timid bronze]

how come are you kind to people you know have wronged everyone around them so many times but you dont give yourself grace

[fresh comet]

well, to be clear, my pessimistic voice isn't the only one within me

it used to dominate my thought process through and through

at least it has some company up there now

[latent edge]

there is this new thought rn I have about my job currently

[fresh comet]

there is a part of me willing to forgive myself and be gentle with myself

[latent edge]

I don't feel like I'm going anywhere with my research progress so I feel like I'm worthless in the job

[fresh comet]

I've been growing it with time

[neon garnet]

would you be okay if you werent a good fit for everyone? or like that part of you?

[timid bronze]

pessimism is a view

if you keep feeding yourself these thoughts youll believe its true

i think it says a lot of people find you to be kind and loving

[latent edge]

Did you ever feel like an imposter for getting money for something you are barely doing anything with?

[timid bronze]

not everything happens in an instant

youre not worthless

if a way isnt working, find another way

[fresh comet]

I've long accepted that I am not going to be compatible with everybody, nor will I be able to be everything they want me to be

[timid bronze]

no one on this earth will be compatible with everyone

there will always be clashing personalities

[fresh comet]

I'm aware, and I have never minded that

[latent edge]

[timid bronze]

It's common

[neon garnet]

and that part of you is willing to let go of people you overall want to be closer with because youre not really a good fit for each other?

[latent edge]

I try to make weekly meeting with my prof to show progress

And it's so little

I feel bad : (

[timid bronze]

Saddening though if there's someone u really wanna be friends with but your personalities dont align

Friend crush is so fr

[neon garnet]

it is sad fr

[neon garnet]

highk

[fresh comet]

yes, it has been

[timid bronze]

profs struggled with their research too

[fresh comet]

though, my initial message wasn't about friendships to begin with

[timid bronze]

youre not alone deltoid

[neon garnet]

and it's okay with that?

well, if that part of you had a voice, what would it say?

[timid bronze]

and if you continue your research and come to an ending point youll be proud of how far youve come

[fresh comet]

hmm, I feel a little confused as to where this is going

[neon garnet]

🤷‍♀️ im curious

[fresh comet]

fair enough, it's just that I don't know if this was my concern to begin with

but I'll try to answer

[neon garnet]

no i mean like

[neon garnet]

ig for these questions

[timid bronze]

Hardest part of work is clocking your hours

Cuz im too tired to do it after working

🙄

[velvet dagger]

Ah yeah

[neon garnet]

i wanna know what's up with this. #serious-discussion message like is this what it'd say

[velvet dagger]

I remember when I used to grade for discrete math, that was the main time where my hours needed to be clocked

Or wait no

[timid bronze]

Bor i got literal reminder from the university to clock my hours lMFAO

[velvet dagger]

That time I had a single salary for the whole quarter

I think when I was grading for the REU

[timid bronze]

But i have until monday 11:59 pm i have timeeeeeee 🫰

[velvet dagger]

I had to log hours and sometimes I'd forget to do it and then be like uh oh

[neon garnet]

i used to let that kinda thing pile up sometimes and i did not like dealing with it after

[timid bronze]

Oh i never forget im just lazy to type it even tho i msg ppl

[fresh comet]

well, the context for which I initially framed that message started up [here](#serious-discussion message) in this conversation, and bled its way down [here](#serious-discussion message)

[neon garnet]

oh wow

[fresh comet]

I get a lot of heat irl for my lack of common sense, we might say

[neon garnet]

see i did not see that far back

ty for saying so

[fresh comet]

due tomorrow, do tomorrow

[fresh comet]

no worries, I apologize for being unclear on this

that original conversation was the context

[neon garnet]

you're good i couldve read further back too

also lowk a lot of people avoid defining terms theyre talking about and the convo changes dramatically once terms get defined

and like goals are stated and clarified

[timid bronze]

i change convos way too fast

Esp in vc or irl

[neon garnet]

are these math people @fresh comet?

[fresh comet]

who are we referring to?

[neon garnet]

people who give you heat for common sense things

[fresh comet]

oh, absolutely not

it's the people in my day to day life

[timid bronze]

:(

[fresh comet]

if you want me to give an example, the other day I was cutting a sauce packet for noodles, and I messed up and got it all over my hands, and I got flamed for a while

[neon garnet]

some people do that. some people claim common sense for things that actually lowk arent that clear and they dont necessarily want to clarify their expectations ahead of times while expecting to hold you to them

[neon garnet]

oh

[fresh comet]

a lot of it boils down to "it's this simple of a task, why can't you do it?"

why do you always fail at it?

[neon garnet]

sounds judgemental

[fresh comet]

I have a lot of moments like this irl where I just suck at doing basic tasks and get flamed for an hour

so that's the background to this

[neon garnet]

i usually say

i like learning
or
i like practicing

[fresh comet]

to be fair, this is a silly example that gets the point across

[neon garnet]

yepp

i like practicing dexterity

[fresh comet]

I have much more... serious(? is that the word I want... ) problems that get me a lot of fire too

[neon garnet]

how can i do that better next time?

[fresh comet]

but these are precisely the things I avoid talking about here because I'm afraid of backlash here too

I'm here to get away from the heat, not jump into the fire

[timid bronze]

well dont be afraid of me please because i relate to you hardly

[neon garnet]

yep i wouldnt judge u higher 🤷‍♀️

[fresh comet]

so like, I do agree with this, but it's apparently common sense for everybody around me but me

[velvet dagger]

Yeah I will say, these sorts of reactions strike me not as natural reactions to the types of situations you're encountering

But rather people getting unreasonably pressed over things that shouldn't be at all bothersome

[neon garnet]

and some math is common sense to you that is unparsably complex to a layperson

i like complementary strengths

[latent edge]

I relate to you a lot

[neon garnet]

i hope they see ur value

[latent edge]

This is real wtf

[fresh comet]

there're some people in my life who ask me why I'm only good at math, and nothing else

or why I'm not better at more things

[timid bronze]

that's so rude

[latent edge]

same lmfao

[fresh comet]

that always makes me feel really bad

[timid bronze]

are these friends? family members?

[neon garnet]

it's also a cognitive distortion

"only" - black and white

[neon garnet]

i'm good at math. ty

[fresh comet]

mostly family, but I'm hesitant to paint them in a bad light, because they're also very kind to me in other ways

I get fire from them, but they also do a lot for me

[latent edge]

Idk if you relate higher but I get flamed a lot for doing mathematics instead of something else like law

[fresh comet]

so I feel like I can't complain

and I just have to listen to them

[timid bronze]

yeah and.. often overlook that intelligence comes in many different forms 🤦‍♀️

oops

meant to reply to cleo

[velvet dagger]

In high school my uncle said "Don't do something like math or science, you're not creative. You're a good talker, you should do law"

[neon garnet]

i appreciate youre good at x.

plus i like improving at things im not as good as i want to be at yet, and idm learning from anyone with that skill, even if it's a simple skill or a random person that has it

[timid bronze]

family members can still be wrong

but im happy you dont like to paint your family in a bad light given how much they do for you

[timid bronze]

says a lot about them than you

[fresh comet]

I really appreciate them in some ways, but they're also on my back a lot because there's a lot of pressure on me to not just succeed, but excel in life

[timid bronze]

no one should be dictating what you do for the rest of your life

that's controlling

[fresh comet]

and this is one of the strongest forms of pressure they apply

[latent edge]

My relatives are like 80% medical doctors so it sucks that they except anyone to naturally do it

[fresh comet]

I'm just incompetent at everything and need to get grow up and improve and get better

that's the message I get from them

[latent edge]

My family is supportive and I'm glad for this but my relatives are just really toxic

[timid bronze]

just because someone is unhappy with your growth doesnt mean youre doing anything wrong

[neon garnet]

and you know it's super distorted

[neon garnet]

you struggle at some things. you can improve at them. it could be worthwhile for you.

is an undistorted version

[timid bronze]

there will always be a person better than you at something

it doesn't matter

there's always someone better

[fresh comet]

I do! but it's been years upon years of the same messaging, and coupled with my previous history of being extremely self critical, it's become a large burden on my mind at all times

[neon garnet]

mhm it matters if youre good enough at what matters when it matters to me lowk

[fresh comet]

I've been taking small steps to improve when I can

[fringe summit]

I think you’re doing fine

[fresh comet]

I'm being deliberately vague so as to sidestep what the actual things are, but I definitely feel like I've made decent progress at this one thing so far this summer

[neon garnet]

i feel like they want you to be more graceful

[fresh comet]

and I'm actually quite pleased with myself about it

[neon garnet]

based on the noodles lol

[jaunty ibex]

Therapy time lol

[timid bronze]

im so proud of you!

[neon garnet]

yayyy

[jaunty ibex]

YAYY

Hey cleo

[neon garnet]

^^

[velvet dagger]

Honestly higher this is a style of "encouragement" that I see a lot in Morocco

[neon garnet]

hi vero

[fresh comet]

my clumsiness is probably the least problematic thing about me irl

[jaunty ibex]

Yeah I agree with others higher

[fresh comet]

but I do need to work on that too

[jaunty ibex]

Don't you like cook? I can't even cook lmfao

[timid bronze]

Oh god if u think ur clumsy u should see me

[velvet dagger]

Criticize someone even if they're largely doing well in the hope that they're motivated to beat the criticism

And then get better and better

[neon garnet]

don't negative reinforcement styles tend to discourage people from trying over time?

[timid bronze]

a few days ago my shoes got soaking wet bc i missed a couple of steps on the stairs outside (it was raining hard)

[twilit marten]

in my experience if something doesn't challenge my ego and expectations of what i can do, I wont learn anything from it

[fresh comet]

I don't know if it's been motivating me more than demoralizing me

[timid bronze]

Thankfully i didnt trip and hurt my knee or anything but i still fell

[velvet dagger]

Yeah, I don't agree with it. But it is common

[latent edge]

why is cooking relevant to what I'm talking about

[neon garnet]

yepp common and unhealthy lowk 😔

[fresh comet]

I fell from walking up the stairs a couple months ago and seriously bruised my knee and two pinky fingers

[timid bronze]

im so sorry about that

[fresh comet]

they still hurt a little bit, but are mostly okay now

[jaunty ibex]

My point was you do a lot of stuff I can't or even the average person do

[velvet dagger]

But yeah higher my point is, this kinda unyielding criticism is more a function of the people doing the criticizing than it is of you

[fresh comet]

it's nothing to apologize over

[neon garnet]

i get that. i encourage my inner critic to be my inner cheerleader lol

[timid bronze]

People who can season are 🔥 Unlike dami

[fresh comet]

I'm just not super aware of my surroundings

[fringe summit]

Self-criticism:

[fresh comet]

I'm the kind of person who walks into tree branches, hits my hip on table corners, and trips on stairs

[fringe summit]

REAL

[timid bronze]

ur not alone girl

thats a lot of us me too 😭

[velvet dagger]

Ally when you learn what cumin or garlic powder is then we can open that convo

[latent edge]

Oh it's partly cuz I'm expected to do stuff like fixing broken house stuff, cooking, fixing printers (for some reason) etc cuz i'm the oldest

fixing the printer is common sense

[fresh comet]

I should try to nurture the critic within to become a cheerleader too

[timid bronze]

ppl like sabrina carpenter can fall so gracefully

i fall like a dead goat

i think my friend has a vid of me slipping on ice

I can ask

[neon garnet]

yepp it helps me a lot. esp knowing that inner encouragement helps you keep trying and getting feedback, when inner criticism discourages trying, while grit, which is effort over time, yields success reliably so is worth protecting, and trying and learning from the feedback helps get you there faster than not, so inner encouragement helps much more than inner criticism

[velvet dagger]

Before she got into singing she was a bit of a craftsperson right? I think there's a degree of training involved in that to make sure that you fall deliberately and don't land on tools which can seriously harm you

[neon garnet]

and like constructive criticism can be gentle

[timid bronze]
