Thank you anon. Keep posting the same thread on /qa/ with a captcha poll. Because /8gag/ trumplets will spam them with those primitive programs.

>>8386422
Go for it OP. Also tell hiro to FIX FUCKING LATEX.

Another kind of thread I absolutely despise is the /pol/tard in disguise. The guy who goes on here with his not-so-subtle "is it true niggers have a lower average IQ?", and then CONTINUES to get 200+ replies every single time. He is the same guy that gets BTFO at the dinner table by his mom, runs to his computer because "look at the SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE MOM!".

I don't care that you are a /pol/lack, I even browse /pol/ myself, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep /pol/ in /pol/. For one second I just want to be able to talk about Hilbert spaces without being reminded of JEWS NIGGERS KEK HILLARY CAN'T STUMP THE TRUMP OBONGO ALSO THIS REALLY MADE ME THINK WHITE WOMEN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS RAPEFUGEES ALT-RIGHT NATSOC JEW FAGGOT.

they are not science

the disorders you have been diagnosed with are not scientific diagnoses

you should stop taking adderall. dont take any psychiatric medication, its all bad. for you.

They won't hear you. American culture is based on "magic pills" to success.

I think most disorders outside of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are mostly a meme and not nearly as disabilitating. Or they are at least a hell of a lot easier to manage.

In my country teachers study at the same universities as regular masters (I'm in the last few months of physics). You kind of get an impression of what the average teacher is capable of and holy shit it's embarrassing. The problem I think really is that nobody gives a shit about teaching any longer. It's poorly paid, features no authority any longer and nobody respects it. As a consequence the people who go for it are usually the people who simply don't know what else to do. And that's exactly the impression you get from those people. They are just fucking idiots. They don't know what they are doing and they really don't give a shit. It doesn't even help that their whole schedule is dumbed down as hell, they suck at it anyway. I really wonder what those people could know about education, especially about good education for good students.

Common core is the proof that it's apparently not much.

People who want to confuse the populace and keep them ignorant and stupid. People who can't think for themselves are easier targets for consumerism.

>How come if a car traveling at constant velocity hits me I feel a force?
How do you know? Have you ever been hit by a car before?

You actually don't feel a force. This is a fact, provable by the laws of physics.

>>8389978
>How come if a car traveling at constant velocity hits me I feel a force?

You don't feel a force, though. But don't take my word for it, go see for yourself!

>>8389978

normal force.

I feel that it is highly unlikely, we are not perfect for the environment, just good enough to survive.

I don't think that most other planets will even have multiple genders . So inefficient.

Humans look like humans because we evolved on earth, so no.

>>8387603
>scientifically possible for aliens to look like Humans?
Does adding "scientifically" somehow makes this question less ridiculous for you?

>>8387611
Everything you said is bullshit, why even bother to post.

I only managed to do this twice. Your brain stays up though, which defeats the purpose of sleeping, because when you sleep, brain connections are restored. When you lucid dream, your mind stays up, therefore you will be so fucking tired afterwards. Its not worth it, and its not that special anyways.

>>8386762
It feels like reality - except you know you're dreaming.

Everything is more clear as if there's no visual filter or anything - for example my bad eyesight is not obvious in lucid dreams.

Its real and not hard to archieve
Only a matter of time and training. Start by writing a dream diary

Because you're just multiplying by 1:
[eqn]\frac{\frac{1}{r}}{\frac{1}{r}} = 1.[/eqn]

a/b = (a/c)/(b/c) = (a/b)(c/c) = a/b

>>8391539
>Why is it logically possible to randomly divide variables like that?

Are you for real?

a/b = (a/k)/(b/k)
because
(a/k)/(b/k) =
(a/k)*(k/b) =
ak/kb =
a/b

What rules am I using? Only one rule: (R,+,*) is a field.

Just answer the question you millennial antisocial fuck.

Personally, I've always been a grammar nazi. Now yes, I do make my own mistakes as well. After all, English is my third language. Despite that, regardless of the language used and how familiar you are with it, I don't see a problem in making the occasional mistake. I see a problem when someone makes constant, basic mistakes, all the time... and then gets all offended when someone points it out to them, or suggests they should improve themselves.

This is not about social status, or satisfying some urge for a feeling of superiority over others. It's purely logical: Any communication, verbal or otherwise, has two participants: The one who's sharing the information, and the one who is receiving it. They both have a responsibility to themselves to try and communicate - and listen - as clearly as they can. Similarly, a huge primary problem with the internet for instance is that there is just too much information, and we can't possibly validate, study, test and absorb all of it. So source criticism is one of the most important skill one can have.

So when someone clearly displays no ability OR interest in taking the time to write a text that is properly structured, logical and easy to read and understand - making it a pain to go through in the first place -... then can you really place any faith in their sources, their views, and the validity of the information they're trying to share?

Clearly, they are not in the habit of spending much time going over their work during the very important phase of communicating their thoughts to other people, so is it not reasonable to assume that any information they're sharing is likely to be biased, opinionated and wrong as hell too?

>why people get so infuriated with poor grammar
>arrived to the conclusion that it's a way for people to establish social status over others
I agree with this, it's also quite obvious, if you think about it.

Im a massive grammar nazi, even though rationally I disagree with it.
In german, for example, if in a university context you use the wrong grammatical gender for something people will look at you funny.
but honestly, grammatical genders are literally 100% memorization and completely arbitrary. it's imho a completely useless skill to be good at something so void of common sense.

But then I also think that Esperanto (or some other planned language) should be adopted worldwide as a second language for everyone, since natural languages (and English in particular) are just too complicated and full of historical clutter and retardation.

many people will laugh at Esperanto, but at the same time laud the (south) korean writing system hangul, even though both are "artificially" constructed by humans (which is why they are so vastly superior to the "natural languages" and "natural writing systems". worst example is chinese writing system, it's literally just a picture for every word. fucking horrendous. but even alphabetic systems arent without quirks, see for example http://pauillac.inria.fr/~xleroy/stuff/english-pronunciation.html )

>>8391018
I think english actually works very well. There's no telling that any planned language we adopt won't morph over time as every other language does, which would somewhat defeat the purpose as we'd likely end up with a similar language to the present one.

We naturally adapt languages for efficient communication based on our experiences using the language is basically what I'm saying, and these adaptations do not necessarily need to follow well thought-out or structured rules.

We have programmed behaviors like looking for sex and money.

P-zombies would only do programmed behaviors.

So ask yourself. Did you choose your major only for the money? If yes, you are a zombie.

Following this we find that the only real human beings are mathematicians and, unfortunately, philosophers. People who chose a careee that has no obvious path to money.

But I also consider philosophera to not be human beings. They are sub human. Therefore the only full humans are mathematicians.

Those two guys just won the physics Nobel prize, anon

Let's say they're travelling at around top speed, 90mph, and they descend a 179 degree track for 200m, wouldn't the air resistance alone fuck you up?

>>8390708
If the Air resistance is greater than the gravitational pull, it will slow down to terminal velocity where the air resistance + friction equals the gravitational pull

/sci/ would never know but railcars are absolutely filthy things, especially the roofs which are never ever washed. As a result it's very oily and anyone on top of them would likely slip off as there is no place to grip.
