Cheating on a programming assignment, reddit memes.

I taught English at a community college for a semester. One student just turned in a picture of Trayvon Martin repeated across 20 or so pages with no text. I don't need to go into detail about this student's particular phenotype.

I was a grader for a course called "Physics for Poets".
Yes, it was just as lame as it sounds, and
I never saw so much bullshit in my life, before or since.

Maybe don't force yourself to do the things you don't want.

You could be depressed, but the answer is that people with career ambitions were brainwashed/conditioned into them. Their lives are certainly pointless and nothing they do matters, but society and their parents tricked them from a young age into believing otherwise. So they develop dreams like "I want to be an engineer!" that seem alien and strange to a person like you because being an engineer or whatever else is ultimately meaningless and even sounds pretty fucking awful. It doesn't matter and everyone dies as nobody after the cosmic blink that is their life, so just do whatever feels right to you and ignore social pressure to be "successful." With very few exceptions, successful people are just obedient.

when i feel the inertia sets in, and i'm loosing my momentum, i just sit down and get my bong. nothing makes me more energized and focused on my goals than a few hits of a nice thick skunk

>community college

>feeling good about competing against literal high school dropouts

>>9036609
probably bait but i'll bite because my europoor friends always do this.
congrats you literally just passed the placement exam.
it's supposed to be easy and identify people who don't know math

There is nothing bad in GMOs. Ffs even my science teacher in high school agrees

>>9035842
GMOs are usually banned because of economical reasons, not "hurr they're bad"

cross pollination, dominating and destroying local farmers, etc etc

>>9035842
Unironically the jews. You can't be sure what is put in your food and with that jews will destroy the thing that stops them from having a pedophile, devil worshiping civilization. I'm absolutely sure you won't believe that as it is a harsh truth but that is their end game

There are none.

you get to open threds

The guy spent all his life sheltered in academia. The notion of him engaging in a physical altercation is as believable as string theory is falsifiable.

You can tell he's smart because he refuses to explain himself.

What's a nobber? Is that racial?

I think it was only used extensively in Latin America because it was in Spanish.

>I think ramu's got the mental advantage
that's probably a slight understatement, the man was unreal

>>9040275
I was being sarcastic, the guy was a joke. Definitely on the level of Euler, Gauss

>>9040274
>Is determination enough, or does genetics determine everything

Determination can bring you far, but you will need genetics and talent to become the cream of the crop like Ramanujan.

If you had to ask this question, then no, you cannot be like him.

have you seen professor Leonard ?

>>9039910
We used "Applied Partial Differential Equations" by Haberman, dunno if it's any good since my professor had a hard on for physics (I'm a math student).

shotgun to head

get some practice first though

The answer is fuck off.

Integration by parts and trivial induction. Happy homework, OP.

certainly nothing by e o "ant brain" wilson

All of those logicians seem to have something in (((common))), but I can't put my finger on what it is. ;)

>>9038940
what might that be anon

>>9038921
Logic used to be a nice meme because the incompleteness theorems basically went against the intuition of every mathematician so people started admiring these logicians who could prove new statements about the nature on mathematics in the hope that one day one of them would prove something that we liked.

Then none of that happened, but we saw how practically meaningless the incompleteness theorems were because the complexity of our theorems has gone from 0 to 9001 in just the past century and we are still doing good proving everything around us, so now the interest of the general mathematician has gone back to usual mathematics: number theory, geometry and algebra.

You are a relic of the past.

that a targeted prostate cancer therapy?

allegedly you cant feel gammas from a reactor; if i stand out in the sun ill feel my face tingle as it burns and i assume thats photons interacting with my skin cells? if i get blasted in the face by gammas why wouldnt i feel it?

>>9038440
Yes, in the case of the image, it is an interstitial, low dose rate radiotherapy modality for the treatment of prostate cancer.

Other applications of brachytherapy (which include both low dose rate [LDR] and high dose rate [HDR] variants), include the treatment of breast, skin, lung, liver, GYN, and other varieties of cancer.

It can also be used intravascularly, to minimize restinosis following angioplasty, stent insertion, etc.

You will have to accept the fact that you're a brainlet.

deviated septum is unlikely to have the significant effect on your cognition that you think it does, even if there is an (small) effect. people complain of these issues of sleepiness and attention all the time. its normal in some sense and might be related to where your life is at at the moment (are you where you want to be?). some of the best consesnsus is that the biggest way to improve cognition is to improve your life circumstances. social life, excercise, the right job. the only way to beat your issues is to put real planning and effort in to seeing what youre bad at and how you can alleviate it. even more so, looking at your goals and seeing what is reasonable or unreasonable. your issues might be predisposed to your genes. they might be partly to do with your septum (through sleep) but see a doctor, not 4chan.

http://www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev-psych-113011-143750 a supporting review by an expert. training by e.g. brain training is not conclusive and is very inconsistent. it is probable that these only have near transfer and so aren't useful atleast in a significant sense. meditation isnt discussed a whole lot though but from my intuition it seems better than brain training (e.g. n-back) because it seems to be working on cognition in a far more ecological context, or atleast has the potential to.
