haters will see you rotating the perfect sphere, yet not visually perceive the rotation due to said sphere’s lack of imperfections, and say you cant rotate a sphere
hey wait! i know you! we used to be chained next to each other in the cave! wow, so good to see you, how are ya? man. remember how we used to talk about the shadows on the wall together. gosh that was a long time ago. but hey. sure is one heck of a sun out here, right? it's good to see you.
Does anyone wanna come over and think about Cow Tools?
Spent 20 minutes editing the Casino Royale poker scene to be chutes and ladders instead of finishing my English homework.
Reblog this to make a fox girl's tail bigger :3
hi, i feel alone and i want attention
...and love
...and kisses
...and maybe hugs
...and please stay with me until i fall asleep
googling shit like "why do i feel bad after hanging out with my friends" and all of the answers are either "you need better friends" (i don't; my friends are wonderful) or "your social battery is drained, you need to rest and regain your energy levels" (i don't; i've got tons of energy, it's just manifesting as over-the-top neurotic mania). why is this even happening. it's like some stupid toll i have to pay as a punishment for enjoying myself too much
I think math teacher don't focus enough on history. Like, yeah, Abel results on the convergence of series are great and all, but did you know Cauchy hated Abel and is indirectly responsible for his death ?
Galois was a math wizard and died in a duel. But did you know he also was kind of a leftist, got thrown out of École Normale Supérieure because of that, joked about killing Louis Philippe and probably died because of that ?
Gauss is cool, but did you know he was saved by Sophie Germain, discovered at the same time Sophie Germain was a woman, and wrote one of the coolest letter blaming "our customs and prejudices" for not allowing women in math ?
Urysohn's lemma is cool, but did you did you know he tragically died while swimming with Alexandrov ? Oh, also they were both gay and in love. And later Alexandrov had a relation with Kolmogorov
There's tons of other stories, even minor ones (like how Italian mathematicians argued against some notations in vector calculus because they were used by Germans). Focusing only on how "abstract" and "pure" math is, is pedantic. Mathematicians, on the other side, are way funnier and not just lost in their abstract and complicated world
Found another idiotic accounting mistake from my predecessor that I have to fix and I was like "WILL THE SPECTER OF THAT MAN'S INCOMPETENCE EVER CEASE TO HAUNT ME" and my coworker was like "Why do you talk like that"
