How is dyslexia supposed to work if supposedly dyslexic people are capable of reading and writing proper sentences?

I'm feeling suicidal /sci/

I'm in an engineering drawing class right now, which everyone has told me is an easy A, but I'm actually struggling. I've been getting shitty B's on the tests, with my highest grade being a 90. Meanwhile, the douchebag frat guys near me ace their tests. I've never felt like such a fucking brainlet oh my god.

To add insult to injury, I'm doing bad in history too, I got a fucking 83 on the midterm, which was below the fucking class average

I'm thinking about switching to math, because that's actually the only thing I'm not shitting the bed at, but what's the point? I've only taken watered down engineering math, and I'm in diff EQ right now which isn't hard at all. I would like to one day teach math, but how am I going to get a phd if I haven't even done a single proof in my life?

today is not a good day...

I think I've become a brainlet.

I transferred over credits earned from AP courses in high school (AP Calculus BC from junior year and AP Statistics from senior year) and I haven't taken a math class since high school. Currently a junior. I feel like I've lost all of my math abilities since going on to college. Should I torrent a textbook and try to redeem myself or is it too late?

Isn't the majority of the brain mass just the brain becoming more efficient by pruning unused neural connections? What about the glial cells and the other material besides neurons that makes up brain matter?

What makes people laugh?
It's something so fundamental, yet something we don't fully understand.
The main theories are:
Incongruity theory-unexpected turns
Superiority theory-laugh at others misfortune
Relief theory-release psychological tension
And benign-violations-social violations delivered to an audience that feels safe

It seems to be a mix of these four theories, yet that just feels like us not fully understanding it with a more simple reason.

Are there other theories, and what would you guys believe could be a "universal" theory?

Is there a genetic component to poverty? Seeing that intelligence has a strong inherent component and intelligent people tend to be wealthier it follows that some people could be in a disadvantage in regards to this. What's your opinion?
14 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
>>8807257
Well, yes. But it's slightly indirect. It's not that there is some genetic/polygenic encoding for "poverty" like there is for height or something.

But the modern economy rewards certain traits and punishes others, and those traits/tendencies often have underlying genetic components. g-factor/IQ, obviously. But also things like time orientation.

[/code]

no idea if code tags work outside of /g/ but whatever. havent used c in awhile and im tired, but i think thatll work.

as a general rule, if you have to repeatedly do something, like print a set, you want probably want to store the objects as an array and iterate over them, and then if you want to select one, you simply index the array.

no idea what you mean by mix if statements with switches. switches are just generally just implemented as jump tables if the indexes are contiguous, or implemented the same as if statements, if they are fragmented

like healthy foods your body rejects them in favor of bad foods like sugar because your body loves to self-indulge so it does the same thing with water and rejects it in favor of other beverages like tea and especially alcohol because deep down we all just want to kill ourselves but we don't want to acknowledge that we want to kill ourselves
