Math

[jaunty ibex]

what kind of math

[errant zenith]

I haven’t checked yet so I’m not sure

How is matching fun

[jaunty ibex]

uhh it's silly and cute ig

I'm sure @steel vessel understands too

[errant zenith]

I see

I’m hungry

[steel vessel]

Yeah

[jaunty ibex]

me too im hungry

[errant zenith]

What ru guys up to

Is it late for u guys?

[jaunty ibex]

yea

[errant zenith]

Sleeping soon?

I really need to think of a reward to motivate myself to study

[jaunty ibex]

Hopefully 🤞

[errant zenith]

Can someone like

Reward me money

XD

[steel vessel]

I love matching w my bf

[errant zenith]

Jk jk

[jaunty ibex]

didn't know u had a bf

[errant zenith]

Well now you do

We all learn new thing every day

[jaunty ibex]

mhm

[errant zenith]

Learning is very beautiful

The nature of human curiosity is beautiful

We are a curious species indeed

[steel vessel]

Pfps r fr eat

Great

LMAO

[errant zenith]

Born too late to explore the world, born too early to explore the universe

[rocky shuttle]

now your perspective to clau has changed, too

[errant zenith]

So like our curiosity in this era is kinda dying

Cuz nothing to explor

[errant zenith]

How come

[jaunty ibex]

i mean clau lol

But no

[rocky shuttle]

Read the wrong message above

[errant zenith]

Maybe the regret after the exam should be enough motivation for me

[errant zenith]

I see

What u guys doing so late

[rocky shuttle]

,ti

[fathom swallow]

The current time for zanarcane is 10:58 AM (CEST) on Sat, 19/07/2025.

[errant zenith]

Have u guys ever failed an exam

[rocky shuttle]

the real exam of life

[steel vessel]

Huh

[errant zenith]

Meow

[rocky shuttle]

This was a reference to when vero said that her perspective about me has changed when I mentioned that I'm married

[latent edge]

wtf

[steel vessel]

URE MARRIED

[latent edge]

Imagine getting married...

[steel vessel]

Congrats

That’s cute!

[errant zenith]

Oh my

[latent edge]

(I'm actually surprised btw)

[errant zenith]

Congratulations

[rocky shuttle]

Thanks! It has already been 3 happy years though

[steel vessel]

Awww

[errant zenith]

Oh my oh my

[steel vessel]

that’s lovely

[errant zenith]

This is quite surprising perhaps

[rocky shuttle]

Thank you!

[jaunty ibex]

3 years?

Goals smh

[errant zenith]

Why

[jaunty ibex]

Goals

[errant zenith]

A married mathematician, that is interesting

[errant zenith]

Why

[jaunty ibex]

Zan what advice do u give

[jaunty ibex]

@latent edge this will be u

[errant zenith]

Why do you want love

[rocky shuttle]

fortunately, my wife studied math, too

[jaunty ibex]

awww

Goals fr

[errant zenith]

Cute

[errant zenith]

You want to get married?

[jaunty ibex]

Wait how old are u

[rocky shuttle]

still under 30 phew

[jaunty ibex]

27?

im just guessing

[rocky shuttle]

yeah, do a binary search

I'm not 27

[jaunty ibex]

24?

[rocky shuttle]

No

2 tries left

[jaunty ibex]

up or down

[rocky shuttle]

up

[old oak]

Whippernsapper

[errant zenith]

19

[jaunty ibex]

26

[oblique valley]

@rocky shuttle I'm just scared of you guys will named your next baby something about math

[rocky shuttle]

[old oak]

You'll be surprised to find that most mathematicians are reasonably well-adjusted in real life.

[rocky shuttle]

up, last chance

[jaunty ibex]

28

[rocky shuttle]

wait, how old am I again

lemme check

[jaunty ibex]

which means 28-3...

[oblique valley]

May I exaggerate

[jaunty ibex]

that's very young lol

[rocky shuttle]

depends on where you live

where I'm from, people usually marry in their early 20's

[jaunty ibex]

I guess Europians marry early

[errant zenith]

Hungryyy

[jaunty ibex]

Idk then

Zan is very mysterious

[rocky shuttle]

I know less about you than you about me at this point

[latent edge]

No lol

That's what happens when you do calculus

Not number theory

[jaunty ibex]

Good point

[rocky shuttle]

Yeah right

Why would you devote yourself to calculus

[jaunty ibex]

that's a waste of time

You have PDEs, geometry and other stuff

[old oak]

Newton and Leibniz in shambles

[jaunty ibex]

I see patterns

[latent edge]

Dark humor

[errant zenith]

Consensually sending virtual hugs to everyone

[errant zenith]

I have an idea, why not match with urself

[jaunty ibex]

how does that work

[rocky shuttle]

automorphism

[jaunty ibex]

That's a good one

[errant zenith]

Umm

Just pick a matching pfp that you like

And pretend ur matching with someone

Yeah

[jaunty ibex]

That's lonely af lol

It doesn't need to be romantic

[errant zenith]

Why

[jaunty ibex]

As nG would say "use noggin"

[errant zenith]

What does that mean

Where will u find someone to match with

I love organic chem tutor

[neat lintel]

moggin

[limber thunder]

this question might be well suited to Academia StackExchange https://academia.stackexchange.com/ as well, in case it gets buried in this chat

I don't have much of a comment myself though. Sounds like a tough situation if these two are your only collaborators

[haughty panther]

custom matching pfps just for you

[jaunty ibex]

Ur sweet

[rocky shuttle]

[vast wraith]

good morning

[rocky shuttle]

meowning

[jaunty ibex]

Morning

[jagged pendant]

😔

[haughty panther]

sowwy :((

[vivid quest]

[vernal shard]

I wanna do math with someone for 8 hours a day 6 days a week but it aint happening 😭

[latent edge]

@jaunty ibex i found bnuuy

[old oak]

Surely

But also:

[pure hollow]

I was not aware of your game

[old oak]

This isn't my game

[pure hollow]

Phew

[old oak]

I play too many different games to consider any of them "my" game.

The Touhou series is quite fine and I enjoy it, though.

[latent edge]

incoming touhou meme about this character

UDONGE

[old oak]

I'm very happy to say I know nothing of Touhou memes

I just play the games

[latent edge]

if u played the games u know the lore

[old oak]

I mean, I know enough of Touhou memes to be happy I don't know more

[latent edge]

so u will understand most if not all the memes

[old oak]

I don't think I want to

[junior veldt]

the only touhou meme i know is the rain dodging one

[old oak]

My mind went to Reisen because Imperishable Night is one of my favourites in the series

[latent edge]

lore

[rocky shuttle]

reisen udongein inaba

[old oak]

So she is

[rocky shuttle]

my favorite is perfect cherry blossom

[old oak]

Fine choice as well

It's up there for me, although I don't really enjoy stages 4 and 5

Quite like the extra and phantasm stages, on the other hand

[junior veldt]

interesting

[rocky shuttle]

oh why not?

well, okay, I'm not a big fan of the prismriver sisters either

but I like the youmu stage

[old oak]

Yeah, they don't do much for me, and I find the stage itself too relentless.

Granted stage 5 is OK, and Youmu in particular

On the whole PCB is in the top for me; if I had to name one Touhou game as the favourite, it would be IN, but I have a wider top tier consisting of PCB, IN, MOF, HSIFS and UM; and out of the spinoffs it would be Fairy Wars and Violet Detector.

UFO is so close to being in my top tier, it's my favourite of the games in a lot of respects, but the UFO mechanic drags it down a lot

Which is a shame, because the OST might be my favourite out of all the games

[rocky shuttle]

I need to listen to more than PCB OST

[rocky shuttle]

What do you think about the spin-off photography games?

We had a tournament on that in our uni

[old oak]

Also great, although a bit too hard for me in the later stages

I never cleared all of them.

I did clear all of violet detector and impossible spellcard

[rocky shuttle]

Yeah, ryc attempted it on stream a while ago and failed

[old oak]

I particularly like the final week of violet detector, with the enemy combo attacks.

Especially because it was an excuse to bring basically all final stage and extra bosses from EoSD onwards

Also the upcoming game looks promising, in particular the stage 3 music is a banger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTp4QX_rZ7E

[rocky shuttle]

I'll listen to it

[old oak]

And the stone system offers lots of character customization, which I enjoy

That's why I like Unconnected Marketeers so much, the cards are fun to play with.

[rocky shuttle]

banger

love it

[deep mango]

wtf touhou 20

[old oak]

Not quite, it's Touhou 20 FW

[deep mango]

so fun

[deep mango]

whats touhou 20 fw

[old oak]

Fossilized Wonders

[deep mango]

ah.

i see now

[old oak]

Or maybe just one Wonder

Touhou Kinjoukyou ~ Fossilized Wonders (東方錦上京 ~ Fossilized Wonders.; lit. "Crowning Glory Capital")

[deep mango]

i didnt know the demo was out

[old oak]

Yep, the full game is coming out in something like a month

At the summer Comiket

[deep mango]

i hever played violet detector

yeah, i just forgot 19 was 2 years ago and not 1

[old oak]

It's great! Just needs a patch to make the teleport controls less stupid.

There's a patch that just binds it to the C key

[deep mango]

hmm i see

[old oak]

It's in a similar vein to the StBs

So individual spellcards rather than full stages, and you do take pictures, although you can shoot at the enemies as well

The pictures and bullets both do damage, but you need at least one photo to clear the card.

[brave flare]

wait wait wait wait

this is a revelation

an unexpected one at that

i would have never taken outsider to be a touhou player

[old oak]

I am full of surprises

[old oak]

Weirdly I never got either into the greater touhou fandom (I've only played the main games, official sidegames and one or two fangames such as touhou labyrinth), or other shmups.

[bronze pelican]

[errant zenith]

should i study for my exam or read about unrelated things

im tempted to do the second option

]

[vivid halo]

inside you there are two wolves

[rocky shuttle]

true fan

[prisma agate]

Umm.. if anyone is interested in a research project they can dm me..

[old oak]

What is the project?

[prisma agate]

It's on primes but I'm just putting in number theory and algebra

[fresh comet]

@prisma agate welcome to the mathcord!

wait, I forgot if I already said that to you

[errant zenith]

Wow

How kind of you higher

[prisma agate]

But I'm just a high schooler so I'm not having dat much knowledge I still lack tools but i feel like it's worth giving a shot

[craggy parcel]

its not bad to explore but its important to manage expectations

[prisma agate]

Umm.. yea ig

[pure hollow]

my expectations as low yet I'm disappointed

[prisma agate]

This server..umm.. y it's so chaotic?

[serene vault]

it's a public server with so many people so

[pure hollow]

wrong place

there are parts which are actually sane but

the discussion channels are not a place where you expect order

[prisma agate]

I mean I need a team of 4-5 for sm casual discussion and exploration... I asked chatgpt it sent link for this server and here it's booming

[serene vault]

#math-discussion

[prisma agate]

Tht place is more chaotic

[serene vault]

or #study-discussion

define chaotic

cuz i see people talking math over there

[errant zenith]

Expect disappointment and you won’t be disappointed

[prisma agate]

Chaotic means tooo much talking i mean message just disappear

[pure hollow]

it does not work that way unfortunately

[serene vault]

well i mean we have only so many channels and 5/6-digit member count

[errant zenith]

I expect to fail but I get 93%, I happy

I expect 96% but I get 93%, I sad

I expect to fail , I fail, I expected that

I expect to fail, I do great, I’m happy

[prisma agate]

Hmm... Ok I'm being bit out of context but r u bots? No offense and if not wht y'all r currently doing? (UG, PHD etc)

[errant zenith]

XD

[pure hollow]

I think you don't know but I *always * expect that it will go wrong.

[prisma agate]

😅

[errant zenith]

Same

That’s what I mean

Expect disappointment

And whatever happens

You won’t be disappointed

[prisma agate]

No one answered 😅

[pure hollow]

I'm way too bleak for that to work

[errant zenith]

Umm

[serene vault]

what do you think?

[prisma agate]

Looks like I'll turn into 1 soon 😅

[old oak]

Only @fresh comet ; the rest of us are mere humans.

Well, I'm an owl

[pure hollow]

Well ,I'm a disappointment.

[prisma agate]

And the second part?

[serene vault]

i'm

nvm

[prisma agate]

😅

[vast wraith]

both are mathematicians

[pure hollow]

-# lower

[prisma agate]

I'm now really curious 😅

[pure hollow]

one is cracked the other is a crank

[old oak]

I do apologize, I just couldn't resist

[prisma agate]

Alright ig i can't expect any answer here 😅

[errant zenith]

@fresh comet you’re human to me

[pure hollow]

the voices...

[old oak]

The vices

[fresh comet]

dw, I’m not offended

Consensually sending virtual hugs to everyone

[pure hollow]

the only way to offend higher is my bleakposting.

[rocky shuttle]

that's not the only way

[willow crystal]

what is the other way

[rocky shuttle]

shipping higher with anyone

[errant zenith]

Wow

Why

[fresh comet]

yeah okay, this is actually one of the few boundaries I have

I don’t like it and I don’t appreciate it

[errant zenith]

Hi higher

[fresh comet]

hi astro c:

[errant zenith]

How are you today

[serene vault]

[fresh comet]

I’m doing okie, how’s you?

greetings Seia

[errant zenith]

I am okay

[serene vault]

o/

[errant zenith]

I have exam soon but I’m not studying

Lowk tired

[errant zenith]

Hello

[serene vault]

hihi

[errant zenith]

And sick

[fresh comet]

relatable

[errant zenith]

Wyd

Any interesting updates

[errant zenith]

Hru

[fresh comet]

talking on discord; what else

[errant zenith]

Wow

[fresh comet]

not really

[pure hollow]

shipping you with joy and happiness,cry about it.

[errant zenith]

Ru eating and drinking water well

[fresh comet]

I haven’t eaten anything yet

I’ll do that soon

[pure hollow]

bad

[errant zenith]

Okay

Drink water too

[serene vault]

quite bad tbh

[pure hollow]

Eat water.

[errant zenith]

Why what’s wrong

[errant zenith]

Um how

Like ice?

[pure hollow]

my methods are beyond comprehension

[errant zenith]

There like edible water pods or smthn

[serene vault]

let's just say

i feel useless

[errant zenith]

Did something happen recently?

Or u just feel like that in general

[serene vault]

this month has not been kind to me to say the least

[errant zenith]

Why

What you been up to these weeks

You’re doing something over the summer?

[serene vault]

let's just say, i inconvenienced my parents at least twice in the space of July

[errant zenith]

Was it by accident?

[serene vault]

depends on what you define as an accident

the first instance was a literal accident

the second one was... just me being dumb and stupid

[errant zenith]

Okay then it’s like not your fault

[errant zenith]

You didn’t like mean to hurt anyone tho

You didn’t intentionally want to do that

So You didn’t do anything wrong

[serene vault]

i definitely didn't hurt anyone

but i lost my wallet and now my parents have to make time to help me replace and report my missing documents

it's just, i don't feel like a good daughter if i had to inconvenience my parents on top of what they already have to do for me regularly due to my medical needs

[errant zenith]

Your medical needs are not your fault or something to blame yourself for

I’m sure you do so much for your parents as well but don’t recognize it that much

And documents are replaceable

you’re not useless and what you did doesn’t make you useless

You aren’t perfect and I’m sure ur parents know that and I’m sure you do Sm for ur parents

[serene vault]

if you consider studying as being filial, i suppose
but i see studying as just returning the favor for my parents and what they have done for me

i don't see myself as having done enough to call myself a filial daughter of any sort

[errant zenith]

Well there’s only so much you can do with your circumstances

And you’re doing your best given your circumstances

You can’t be expected to do things that are out of your control

Studying well is a good way to return your favour, it’s a way to make your parents proud

You’re their child, I’m sure they know what to expect from like a person who’s still a student

[serene vault]

i mean, yeah, that's the only thing i can do for my parents right now
but given the amount of money they have spent on me and me alone, not even including my elder sisters, whom i've probably diverted resources from because of my condition, i feel like i should have at least taken extra care to not further steal more time from their work

[errant zenith]

You’re right, I understand your perspective

[serene vault]

like something as simple as my wallet and ID

[errant zenith]

But it’s fine, anyone could’ve lost that

Even one of your elder sisters

[serene vault]

now they have to spend two days reporting and replacing all of my documents, all because i probably forgot to close my bag sometime

[errant zenith]

It doesn’t make it worse that it happened to have happened to you

It doesn’t make you more useless

[errant zenith]

Was it just documents?

[fresh comet]

it’s not a more severe annoyance to your parents because it was you specifically

[errant zenith]

Yes

[fresh comet]

heck, they could’ve lost their wallets and it’d be just as much of a pain

[serene vault]

well there was a tiny bit of cash in there, but the most important ones are my documents and my bank cards

i don't care about the physical wallet itself, that thing is 7 years old and is falling apart

[fresh comet]

have you frozen your bank cards yet?

[serene vault]

i care about the stuff inside

[fresh comet]

if not, you should immediately

[serene vault]

done the instant i saw my wallet missing

[fresh comet]

okay, good

[errant zenith]

I understand how you feel

[fresh comet]

then it’s just the IDs

[errant zenith]

It’s like feeling incapable

[vocal vessel]

I once got too high and lost my wallet on a bus in Seattle

[errant zenith]

When others have done Sm for you but it’s not possible for you to pay them back

[serene vault]

it's not just incapable

they are my parents

and in asian culture, if you inconvenience your parents, you're seen as being unfilial

not saying my parents have that mindset, but i'm pretty sure some of their friends do, and i do too

to me, esp after everything they've done, my parents are the last people i want to bother

they should not have to worry about me more than they already do

[errant zenith]

Is it really bothersome replacing your documents

Did you apologize to them

I’m sure they understand people can make mistakes, and I’m sure they can see all the effort you’re making with your studies for example

[serene vault]

you bet i did the moment i told them

[fresh comet]

exactly

[errant zenith]

Were they mad

[serene vault]

technically speaking, yes and no

[errant zenith]

Especially when you are just a student

[serene vault]

no because if the people here do their jobs, all documents and cards can be replaced in a day

[fresh comet]

it’s unreasonable to expect yourself to never inconvenience them; mistakes will eventually happen

[serene vault]

yes because government ppl here are known to not do their jobs, so this might turn into a multiday affair

[errant zenith]

I’m sure they feel reassured knowing their daughter is studying well and has a bright future you know

[serene vault]

plus, they don't work on weekends, so i can't get it done at a time that's convenient for all of us

[errant zenith]

They don’t see you as useless

[fresh comet]

as long as you’re not intentionally making them, it is what it is and you just need to be a little bit more vigilant the next time

[errant zenith]

But you did everything on your end? So there isn’t much stress except waiting for the gov people to replace the cards

Do you have a photo or any digital copy of your ids

You can use that until it’s replaced physically

Like if u needed to that is

[serene vault]

i have a digital copy of my ID and only my ID

well i don't need digital copies of my bank cards so

[errant zenith]

How does this take away time from your parents

[serene vault]

the problem was the only thing we could do was reporting the documents as lost

[errant zenith]

Were your parents mad?

[serene vault]

because government offices are only open on weekdays, and my parents work on weekdays

so they have to take at least a day off work

keyword: at least

[errant zenith]

It’s not open after your parents finish work?

[serene vault]

they are open from 8am to 4.30pm

my parents work from 8am to 5:30pm

[errant zenith]

Your parents have to go with you?

[serene vault]

i'm still under 18, so yes

plus, someone has to take me to those offices anyway

[errant zenith]

I’m sure you will be fine

Is it likely to only take a day?

I hope it only takes a day

[serene vault]

at best, it takes half an hour

at worst, it takes 5 days

[errant zenith]

Oh

[serene vault]

again, depending on whether people actually do their jobs

[errant zenith]

Did you try looking for your wallet

When was this btw

[serene vault]

i last saw my wallet wednesday night

but one thing you have to know about my wallet is that it is always in my bag

[errant zenith]

But they can take days off from like their vacation days right

[serene vault]

i never opened my bag outside of school on thursday and i was at home on friday

yet my school is empty

empty of my wallet that is

[errant zenith]

I see

[serene vault]

till now i have no idea where i could have dropped it
i narrowed it down to three places, yet all three came up dry

[errant zenith]

It’s okay

If you find it that’s good, and if you don’t that’s also fine

[serene vault]

i don't regularly use my wallet in the first place, because i usually pay cashless, so i'm very perplexed

[proven knoll]

i was gonna ask u how u lost ur wallet and where you'd usually place it

[errant zenith]

It’s okay it happens

[serene vault]

my only theory is that it must have slipped out somewhere when i forgot to close my bag, but i don't remember when i forgot to actually close my bag outside of school

[errant zenith]

Nothing you did makes you useless

[fresh comet]

I told you that I misplaced my wallet once and lost it on a subway

these things happen

[proven knoll]

i always store my wallet in my jacket and have rarely lost it

[serene vault]

and stealing straight from my bag is also a weird thing because if they had the sense to steal my wallet from my bag, they left my phone intact

[fresh comet]

I felt really bad too, but there wasn’t anything I could do beyond reporting and replacing documents after it was already lost

[serene vault]

if i do this i will lose my wallet every week

[errant zenith]

Phones can be tracked tho

[proven knoll]

how

[fresh comet]

as long as you focus on what you can do, it’s going to be better for your mental health

[errant zenith]

Yes

You can’t control the past

[rocky shuttle]

[errant zenith]

And also there are some things that are out of ur control rn

[serene vault]

i have a tendency to be a bit careless with my clothes

[fresh comet]

I got super lucky though and the person who found it turned it into the subway’s lost and found, where I picked it up 2 weeks later

[errant zenith]

As long as you try your best with what you can and what you have, then you’re already doing great

[fresh comet]

I had already replaced some stuff though

[fresh comet]

exactly

[serene vault]

yeah it can, but it surprises me they don't bother to take it when it's right next to the wallet

whatever it is, this is making me crazy trying to figure out what could have happened

i definitely lost it on wednesday night or thursday

most likely thursday

[errant zenith]

Did you search at home xd

[fresh comet]

you can only do your best with what you have, so no need to beat yourself up by worrying about things you can’t control anymore, like if an employee does their job

[serene vault]

you bet i turned my house upside down and inside out

[errant zenith]

I see

[proven knoll]

no one wants to steal a phone with a passlock

[errant zenith]

@serene vault what do you like to do for fun

[serene vault]

fair point, but it's Malaysia

people here steal whatever they see as valuable

well i mean not the common folk but yeah

[errant zenith]

Malaysia’s pretty cool

[serene vault]

many things, but i don't have the mood to do any one thing for an extended period of time atm

[errant zenith]

I see

[serene vault]

i'm trying to cool off with CS2, but i now tilt very easily

[errant zenith]

It’s okay you should take breaks

And do calming things

Have u considered side jobs or smthn to make money

Or part time at uni

[serene vault]

i'm a high schooler

[errant zenith]

Oh yeah

I see

Nvm then

Or u could still do something on the side that you like and earn money tho

If u have fun doing it

Like for example people do that w drawing or even coding

Like freelance

[serene vault]

i can code but i'm not at any professional standard

[errant zenith]

That’s great that you found it

[serene vault]

the only thing i'm semi-decent at is tutoring and even that i can't really charge because i'm nowhere near confident enough

[errant zenith]

It’s okay, it’s great that you can and it’s a great thing to have and you can apply it to basically any field you are like in

Plus most of us are like that

It’s good to have coding experience even if not professional

Just for fun and things like that and to be able to stand out from other candidates in the field

[serene vault]

fair point

[errant zenith]

It’s okay I’m sure it something you can consider doing part time once you get into uni

Like within uni ofc

[serene vault]

we'll see when i get there, considering i have three more years

[errant zenith]

Yikes that’s a long road ahead

[serene vault]

hence why i'm not exactly skilled or experienced

[errant zenith]

No but it’s already great that you have started learning other things this early

You already are probably ahead of so many others

[serene vault]

90% of this server can smash me out of this world in math if they wanted to tbh

[errant zenith]

Yeah but ur still in highschool

Compare yourself to that

[errant zenith]

Like coding and tutoring

[serene vault]

i mean, people like carbonite are hs and they do olympiad stuff

meanwhile i get schooled in basic-intermediate calc

[celest sand]

How old are you guys? lol

[errant zenith]

Most high schoolers don’t do calc until university or they do it in their junior or senior year. You’re prob already in the top 5%

[fresh comet]

Seia, I didn’t know how to integrate until I was in my first year of uni

I promise you’re doing a fantastic job and have a promising future ahead of you

[celest sand]

Am I invisible?

[fresh comet]

you aren’t!

[errant zenith]

Just keep up the good work, and I also think you will have a bright future if you stay consistent , don’t over work yourself and make sure you take good care of your mental health and don’t make yourself feel useless or incapable, because you aren’t @serene vault

[errant zenith]

No why

[fresh comet]

+1

[serene vault]

next year is technically calculus for me so yeah

[serene vault]

apologies for kinda hogging the channel, but no you aren't

[errant zenith]

Why

[celest sand]

Ok thanks

Coz I'm 18 and still i didn't learn integration

[errant zenith]

That’s okay

Like I said many people only learn it in university

In calculus

[fresh comet]

okay, so you’re in the same spot I was in 2 years ago

you’re going to be fine

[celest sand]

Our education system sucks

[errant zenith]

Yes you’re still on track

[errant zenith]

Just self study

[celest sand]

Math is just parroted

[celest sand]

Yes I'm doing it but too many works i dunno

[errant zenith]

[errant zenith]

It’s okay u don’t need to overwork urself*

[serene vault]

well i struggled hard to learn calculus too

[vocal vessel]

Math parrot

[celest sand]

I mean procedural understanding is more valued than conceptual understanding

In our country

[neat lintel]

Hello everyone

[fresh comet]

every new topic is hard when you’re unfamiliar with it

[neat lintel]

Im new

[serene vault]

and same goes for Malaysia too

[fresh comet]

this is always going to be true

[serene vault]

textbook is ass

[neat lintel]

Bro u talking in two groups simultaneously

[fresh comet]

my record is 6

[errant zenith]

I’m tired

[celest sand]

Also I need some math friends

[fresh comet]

had a long day?

[errant zenith]

I recommend the math discord server

[neat lintel]

Any one have any other servers

Please invite me

[errant zenith]

I didn’t do anything but I’ve been tired all day bcz I’m sick

And I didn’t study for my exam

Just been in bed

[neat lintel]

https://tenor.com/view/don’t-make-me-beg-gif-12130911910626192031

[errant zenith]

Should I fall asleep and cram tmrw

[celest sand]

Be honest and answer to this

[celest sand]

Why negative times negative is positive?

[errant zenith]

If you take the opposite of a negative you get a positive

If you take the opposite of a positive you get a negative

[celest sand]

Yeah you know that

Just tested

[fresh comet]

it’s probably not a bad idea to get a good night’s rest and then study tomorrow

[serene vault]

well if you want an intuitive manner of understanding

suppose we have a x b

[errant zenith]

That’s what I always tell myself, and that’s what I told myself last night

I’m tired

[serene vault]

let a be the number of notes you have, but not any regular note

[celest sand]

I thought it myself when I was small and got the answer

[serene vault]

wait so you do know

[celest sand]

Yes

I tested you guys

[errant zenith]

I’m jsut starting to accept the fact that I I will do bad on exam

[celest sand]

That's why I meant answer honestly

[celest sand]

But work hard bro dont give up

[serene vault]

sorry for being grumpy about the test then

[errant zenith]

The more I accept that the more I’m okay w not studying

[serene vault]

not really in the mood to be tested. helping is fine

[serene vault]

i have one mantra that you might find helpful

[celest sand]

Ahh sorry

[serene vault]

do your best, leave the rest

as in

try your best, and leave the rest to the examiners

[errant zenith]

Please do refrain from unconsensual examination and testing

[celest sand]

😂

[errant zenith]

We already suffer at school with that

[celest sand]

We all suffer bro

Our education systems suck

[errant zenith]

Wow

What if the examiners misgrsde my paper

[serene vault]

appeal

[fresh comet]

raise hell on Earth

[errant zenith]

I don’t deserve that

[celest sand]

Bye !

Thank you guys.

[fresh comet]

if the paper is misgraded, you’re in the right for asking

[errant zenith]

Take care please

[fresh comet]

and this is coming from somebody who’s afraid of asking

[fresh comet]

have a wonderful day!!

[errant zenith]

I don’t want to embarrass myself

[serene vault]

you miss every shot you don't take

[fresh comet]

I understand, I was like that too

but if you don’t ask, you risk losing marks over what may be a mistake

[errant zenith]

What if the shot comes back smacks me in the face and makes fall down 74 steps down the stairs

[serene vault]

i mean, at worst you don't gain any marks

[errant zenith]

True

But I could embarrass myself

In front of profs

And important people

And I lose all chances of being a good student

[serene vault]

huh? i thought you only needed to send a letter in saying you want to appeal

didn't know you needed to do a whole thesis defense to appeal

[errant zenith]

Lowkey idk the process

[errant zenith]

Of course not

[serene vault]

i mean tbh if you were allowed to defend your answers as appeal

might have a better chance of actually getting the appeal imo

idk though

[errant zenith]

I see

But I don’t think they’ll make any mistakes

So perhaps I should leave the rest to the examiners

And not worry about it

[rocky shuttle]

Examiners are still human

[serene vault]

leave the rest to them as in let them give an initial tally

not saying they're gods or anything

[errant zenith]

True true

I still gotta study tho

I’m so cooked

[haughty lion]

Examiners make mistakes on a regular basis

[errant zenith]

Goodnight everybody

Anyone else used to want to study pure math and they're now thinking about financial math? Im doing a double degree in electrical eng and while I find pure topics interesting, with no intent on studying post grad, I get a similar vibe from financial math and more career benefits

[fresh comet]

good night astro

[serene vault]

i went the other way

started with financial math, went into pure

[clever basin]

Do u intend on going post grad?

what if he makes an alt

[jagged forge]

idk

[pliant compass]

he doesnt deserve to get muted

[raw bay]

I agree

bro seemed chill

[raw bay]

should have gotten a warning instead

[vivid quest]

Is there like a time limit to not bzing able to talk?

[buoyant imp]

Can someone tell me how to use this discord, it's kinda confusing

[pliant compass]

i assume super muted means being muted forever or some shi

[raw bay]

it does

my guy didnt even get a 2nd chance

[vivid quest]

There are the discussion channels, like here, and the specific channels for help

[hybrid quest]

@jagged forge maybe we chat here?

[timid bronze]

Da hell is supermuted

is it the permanent mute of shame

if so good

[jagged pendant]

UBER MUTED

[hybrid quest]

The last episodes I listened to where some online scam guy and he weaved a exciting tale of probably lies

[fresh comet]

@buoyant imp welcome to the mathcord!

you're in one of the social channels at the moment. the channels located above this category are help channels you can ask math questions in, and get help with. the channels below this category are miscellaneous stuff, and the ones below those are topic specific channels for you to talk about math in

[jagged pendant]

I wanna get online scammed

But the twist is that I know im getting scammed

[vivid quest]

I don't

[jagged forge]

sure

[jagged pendant]

And I just mess with the scammer

[neon garnet]

yes i've done this

i would not recommend it

[hybrid quest]

I more so just wanted to yap about lex lol

[jagged pendant]

Did you mess with them?

[neon garnet]

[jagged pendant]

"WHY DID YOU REDEEM ITTTT"

[neon garnet]

well, they are professionals

[jagged pendant]

Wait. Please, dont tell me you got scammed 😔 🙏

[neon garnet]

so i paid a bit more than what i wanted to risk to solidify my cyber safety beliefs in that area

[fresh comet]

permamutes and traps the user into a single channel so they aren't on the user list anymore

[jagged forge]

i like his interviews where it's about technical stuff from a person i like and he just lets them talk

[old oak]

I think that's an entire genre of content on streams etc.

[timid bronze]

I dont get the purpose

[fresh comet]

and then I suppose the mods talk to them

[timid bronze]

Is it temporary

Oh

[jagged pendant]

Aww

[jagged forge]

this one had me crying lmfao

[jagged pendant]

Yeah

[hybrid quest]

Yea some are really good, I listened to an earlier tao one

[jagged pendant]

It was hilarious 😭

[neon garnet]

yep it was kinda sad. i talked to some friends about it and they said, girl please value your money more

i was like okay

[buoyant imp]

gotchuu thankyouu

[neon garnet]

also i learned a lot about detection of scams

so it was a bit of a pricier learning experience than i intended to have but still okay

[jagged pendant]

Well it's good to be safe

[neon garnet]

yepp

[vivid quest]

My explanation wasn't as precise

[fresh comet]

for users who have problematic profiles or pfps, the mods have to wait for the person to change that stuff, and don't want the user to be visible while that's going on

[timid bronze]

Oh

[neon garnet]

it's actually not the first time i've ventured into that territory alth this was the first time my friends didnt stop me lol

[jagged pendant]

So they get UBERMUTED

[neon garnet]

the last time was for sabrina carpenter tickets

[buoyant imp]

Yours was helpful too thankyouu

[old oak]

I find it somewhat less funny when I realize a lot of the people doing this stuff are essentially or even literally forced to: https://www.npr.org/2024/08/08/nx-s1-5058798/how-criminal-syndicates-traffic-torture-and-enslave-people-to-send-scam-text-messages

[neon garnet]

wait i like the embed t.t

[jagged pendant]

Oh no can't believe ppl use this stuff to scam people 😭

[neon garnet]

right?

[jagged pendant]

Yeahhh

[neon garnet]

does supermuted mean muted until the role goes away

[fresh comet]

yes

[neon garnet]

manual?

[fresh comet]

.

[neon garnet]

oh wow

[fresh comet]

.

[vivid quest]

That's kinda evil

[jagged pendant]

Ooooof this is tough. What the hell?

[vivid quest]

Why not ban them

[fresh comet]

they'll be released once their profiles are changed

[limber thunder]

banning makes it harder for people to appeal since they can't DM @polar panther

so supermute is kind of an in-between

[neon garnet]

ty higher

[vivid quest]

I read that as tighter😭

[neon garnet]

@hallow spindle welcome to the mathcord!

[errant zenith]

its still the weekend sooo

[timid bronze]

U two r very kind and sweet

[hallow spindle]

THANK U!

[serene vault]

have to wait till tmr, but in the meantime i woke up shivering and with little appetite

[errant zenith]

You as well

[fresh comet]

time for me to delete my account

[fresh comet]

I see

have you at least drank some water?

[serene vault]

i did

[errant zenith]

Oh no

[fresh comet]

I guess that makes us triplets then

[serene vault]

it's a physical manifestation of my anxiety, i feel

[timid bronze]

No

Just u and astro

[serene vault]

whenever i get very anxious my stomach acts up on top of me shivering

[errant zenith]

im not that kind

[timid bronze]

U r very kind

[errant zenith]

unfortunately

[errant zenith]

why were u shivering tho

[latent edge]

It's different for everyone but I like computing class numbers before sleep. It helps. Also try blinking a lot before sleeping.

[fresh comet]

are you anxious about anything in particular? is it the loss of the wallet?

[fresh comet]

you're quite so, my friend c:

[serene vault]

i'm guessing everything

[serene vault]

you know how people shiver in fear sometimes

[errant zenith]

Okay thats interesting i will try it

[errant zenith]

yeah

[serene vault]

yeah that's kinda me

[jagged forge]

crazy

[errant zenith]

you were scared?

[timid bronze]

?

She is my mama

[jagged forge]

u called her a baby mama

[latent edge]

Try what? Computing class numbers?

[serene vault]

i'm more... depressed than scared honestly

[errant zenith]

no blinking my eyes before sleep xD

[latent edge]

oh yeah

[fresh comet]

I see. I'm sorry to hear that and I hope the rest of the day is an improvement

feel free to talk to me if you want to let out some steam 🤍

[timid bronze]

Ok and ur damis side chick

[hallow spindle]

@seia you can also try bilateral stimulation techniques laying in bed. i used to think i was cold but tis just anxiety and low weight

[errant zenith]

yes you can talk to us

[serene vault]

thanks

[latent edge]

Class numbers are fun to compute

[errant zenith]

did anything new happen

[serene vault]

but atm idk how to put this into words that i have not already

[errant zenith]

or ru still bothered by the wallet

[serene vault]

mostly the wallet and the fact that two major incidents in one month is not good for my mental

[serene vault]

oh? i'll look it up. thank you

[fresh comet]

I know this wasn't directed at me, but I got into a bit of an argument with a friend today and still feel a bit bad about it

[errant zenith]

i guess all one could do is just try not making it three incidents

[timid bronze]

was a conclusion reached

[fresh comet]

that's fine; take as long as you need to process

[serene vault]

well knock on wood, i hope not

[timid bronze]

its ok arguments r healthy

[serene vault]

i'm about to jump off the next building if i get into another major incident ngl

[errant zenith]

please dont

[serene vault]

(for legal reasons this is mostly a joke)

[steel vessel]

awwww are u okay

[errant zenith]

mostly

[fresh comet]

not really, and they ghosted me halfway through the conversation for almost the entire day

[timid bronze]

yikes im sorry

[fresh comet]

we did have a conversation a couple hrs ago again, but about something entirely orthogonal to the issue

at the very least, that one didn't go bad

[errant zenith]

were they mean or anything to you about it

or was it just like a misunderstanding

[fresh comet]

I'm probably not going to get closure though

[errant zenith]

did anyone do anything hurtful

[timid bronze]

i hope a compromise can be found but pls understand arguments r a part of any relationship

[fresh comet]

not mean, no

[errant zenith]

you shouldnt resort to that

[fresh comet]

just extremely firm in their position and not willing to budge

which is respectable, but I would still like to smooth things over

[fresh comet]

I know this is a joke, but please don't do that

[fresh comet]

I'm doing a bit better than I was earlier

I don't expect them to ever continue the convo though

[errant zenith]

yes higher you always have us

[hallow spindle]

everyone giving wholesome advice is my hero

[fresh comet]

so this is going to be troublesome
