Does anyone else remember the time in their lives when they would choose entire career paths based on what niche knowledge they wanted to gain to write their little fiction work?

[spiderlegeyelashes]

partially agree but i also think its like saying protein is more important than fiber like both are very important imo and just serve slightly different purposes but thats my opinion dont get mad at me

i love my major i love geology/geologineering and paleontology but i hate how… loosey goosey this field is about precision… like obviously they are good diligent scientists but most applications of this study are so large scale that like, decimal points either arent going to make a difference or you literally *cant* in good conscience claim a result to that precision. and when i was mapping in wyoming last summer so much of my job was “just write down what you think is true to your best logical conclusion and if someone disagrees they can go climb the mountain themselves”

HAPPY CIRNO DAY!!!!!!

In honor this lovely holiday, I'm doing a team for Cirno and her deaf friend/sister/whatever Daiyousei is to her. (Oh btw, I headcanon that Dai is deaf and Cirno used all 1 of her braincells to learn sign language).

Not to oversimplify cirno, but I feel like the first three kinda go without saying... kinda.

Bergmite is here as a silly little ice creature that I think Cirno would keep as a pet.

Cryogonal is a (both figurativly and literally) cool creature of ice Cirno would keep around to... help her freeze frogs or something.

Vanilite is just kinda Bergmite again, BUT, I imagine that she got this from Dai! =)

Flabebe is another gift from Dai that Cirno keeps around due to them being close (I don't really ship Dai and Cirno, I just think they're either close friends or basically siblings.)

The shiny (yes that's a shiny) sunkern is a reference to Tan Cirno! She has a sunkern because of the sunflower she has, and I didn't evolve it because I thought it would be funny if she who is the strongest has one of the weakest pokemon full stop lol.

Frosmoth is here because it two may as well be another ice fairy! It's like a kindred spirit to her!

(WARNING! DAI'S TEAM IS BASED HEAVILY IN PERSONAL HEAD CANON! OBVIOUSLY!)

Floette is here in due to a personal association I have with Daiyousei and like... nature (in the plant life sorta way). So yeah.

Cirno got her a Vanilite and she keeps it. Because they're close!

Munna is here due to its telepathy ability. Basically it can use this to communicate with her. Also the shiny kinda pairing well with her color scheme is a nice bonus.

You know how seals are kinda just big water dogs? Yeah, that's why she has it. It's a service seal! Why a seal and not a dog? She lives with Cirno at the Misty Lake! (Which is why this is the card background for them by the way.)

So some people (me included) have the head canon that Dai becomes DAMN SCARY when you piss her off. Tangrowth is a loose refence to that (as well as just being a big plant monster I think she'd like). Tangrowth can be damn scary if you know how to use it (and she does).

Wingull is a pokemon largely here for emotional support. IDK why, but I like the idea of her having a bit of a fondness for birds (probably because I misread her wings as angel style wings for SO damn long), and a sea bird feels right. Also seagulls are loud and annoying, but she wouldn't notice that because of the whole deaf thing.

People joke about never needing Pythagoras, but the thing is

You do. Almost every day. And you don't really notice.

Because you don't think about it in a practical sense. I was taught it in school with just triangles. Triangles, triangles, too many triangles. And yeah, it's boring.

But when I went to trade school as an adult, we had it again and this time, practical stuff

Say you have a closet you want to build. You need to know if you can build it lying down and then stand it up when finished. Problem is, just the height won't help you. You might see the height, measure your ceiling and oh hey, got a few inches, great! But you NEED the diagonale, the longest line in a rectangle, to know whether your space is actually sufficient.

That's Pythagoras

Say there's a lighthouse some distance away. If you know the horizontal distance and the height, you can calculate how far away from the light you are, or how far it shines

When I got my dad's old kitchen table, I calculated the diagonale to figure out if it could fit through my hallway

If you have a teacher who likes what they're doing, man, math can be fun. Pythagoras is pretty neat actually. So many little things I'm forgetting right now I notice and think "Pythagoras!"

You need it a lot. You use it a lot. You just don't realize it because you only think of it as "triangles"

It’s sad how much of what is taught in school is useless to over 99% of the population.

There are literally math concepts taught in high school and middle school that are only used in extremely specialized fields or that are even so outdated they aren’t used anymore!

[turnedpalefromlackofsun]

what if i dont even have a condition and its just more american propaganda floated by the CIA to try to keep asian americans out of college (not asians cuz international tuition go brrrr)

they tried with race policy and soft propaganda in high impact cities.

i wouldnt put it past them.

[penguicorns-are-cool]

Also because it's pretty shitty that schools are ranking kids like this at all. The school shouldn't be ranking children it's very unhelpful and gives everyone a really toxic mindset about it all.

You're either told that you're the main character and above everyone else or you're told you're not good enough and either way you're gonna grow up and be told that it was all a lie and didn't really mean anything. Except by then it's a bit late for it cause it was a formative part of your childhood and shaped your whole mindset

Either way you're having an unhealthy amount of pressure put on you to either try to get into the gifted spot or to prove you deserve that gifted spot. Either way you don't get the resources you need because your school is more focused on trying to measure your potential for intelligence than on effectively teaching you and supporting you

It's an extremely fucked up system and we should talk about it and how it absolutely shouldn't exist

ohhhhh I get it now. the "gifted kid" discourse exists because people see it fundamentally as a sign of Privilege and not as a largely meaningless category that puffs up weird children before setting them up for the same unremarkable lives as everyone else; thus they interpret people going "the educational system gave me false expectations before ultimately abandoning me to the same heartless world as everyone else" as "why am I, The Main Character, not getting everything I ever wanted."

Dp x dc: batshit crazy driver au.

Bruce hired a new personal driver for the Wayne's. He was a nice enough guy. His grades weren't great, but he was a great driver and very patient. Like, really patient. Like, he is so unbothered by traffic, stupid drivers, and villain attacks, its kinda scary. But all the background checks came back clean. Minus his mad scientists parents, of course.

Daniel (Danny) Fenton. He could relate to any of the Wayne kids and hold an intelligent conversation with Bruce. Bruce feels that he doesn't need to be all Brucie Wayne around the young man. He doesn't know about their nightly activities yet, though. They're not quite sure if he even needs to know.

The first sign there was something more to Danny happened when Tim was sitting in the passenger seat. Tim was struggling with a math problem. It was driving him nuts. It only took a quick glance for Daniel to solve it, though, "it's thirty-six"

"What?"

"The answer is Thirty-six. You forgot to carry the three."

"Huh..."

He was right, Tim made a simple mistake, sure. But that was advanced college level math. Danny was a straight c student and never went to college. It only took him a momentary glance to solve it. Tim, though suspicious, chalked it up to a simple case of gifted kid syndrome. He related to it and began to consult with Danny on some of his math problems. Danny was more than happy to help, for a price, of course.

Then, there was a villain attack. The villain's goons ran rampant through the city, terrorizing anyone unfortunate enough to be outside at the time. But not Danny, they'll tried, oooh they tried. But those goons swiftly found themselves zip tied, in the trunk of a car, and on their way to jail. All while Danny blasted some music by a small artist named 'Ember'.

Alright. He is in Gotham, and his mother was a black belt, so maybe he was just well trained. Its good to know how to deffend yourself.

Then, Damien was kidnapped. It was so fast they barely saw, but a white van sped by and grabbed Damien as he made his way tawords the car. Initially, Damien expected the chauffeur to panic and call the police. But when shouting and cursing were heard from the front seat, and the men in the back slipped the van door open to check behind them, it was revealed Danny had followed them and he had a gun.

What could only be described as an action movie chase scene ensued. Every corner they swerved, every shortcut they took, Danny was right behind them. Driving like a bat out of hell, he shouted and fired at the wheels of the van. Knocking one out, the van swerved and was forced to come to a stop.

A kidnapper grabbed Damien by the hair and held a gun to his head, but before the threat could even leave his mouth a bullet flew through his hand. He dropped Damien and fell to the ground screaming, clutching his hand.

The kidnapper in the van already took off running but was swiftly stopped by Redhood arriving just in time to see Danny helping Damien up and checking him over, profusely apologizing for "letting this happen."

When asked why he did all of it, his simply answered, "I don't think I would get paid if I let Mr. Wayne's kid die! I can't let a kid die in general!"

Bruce, of course, gave the young man a bonus and a few days off for the stunt. Accompanied wlth a few stern words about safety. What was truly remarkable was that there was not a single scratch on the car. Untouched, meaning he never hit anything during the whole ordeal. "I just learned what not to do from my dad!" He joked, but Bruce felt that, despite the clear joking tone, there was some truth to the statement.

The family is suspicious, very suspicious. The man they previously viewed as their simple and humble driver turned out to be a monster of a fighter, and they have no idea how or why.

Kindergarten-level math research papers:

Field: Combinatorial Number Theory

Journal: Communications in Addition and Subtraction

Title: A Lower Bound on the Largest Natural number

Abbreviated Abstract: We prove a lower bound on the largest number. The proof proceeds in two steps: we begin with 1, and proceed by induction as until we lose count. We then add that number to itself. The main advance in the first step is to get a big number, and the second step notably avoids using multiplication (they don't teach that until 3rd grade).

Field: Topological Geometry

Journal: Advances in Nonlines

Title: The Four-Color Scribbles

Abbreviated Abstract: In this work we show a zoo of examples of nonlines (curves) with the unique property that they are either red, blue, orange, or purple, or some combination therein. The key idea is to use less colors rather than more, creating a clear and easy to follow proof. This provides a clear basis for simplifications to further work, such as scribbling with 5 colors.

Field: Playground Analysis

Journal: Slide Dynamics

Title: Sufficient Conditions to Yell Weeeeeee on Spiral Slides

Abbreviated Abstract: We identify sufficient conditions for a slide to cause joy. We identify a notion of a "fun slide," and prove that fun slides are a sufficient condition to make someone go Weeeee on a slide. We then verify a spiral slide is a fun slide, and provide numerous examples and non-examples (notably, a ramp is really not fun to slide down).

GQ: Why do you like math more than Korean?

WT: Yes. I think that if you do Korean somehow, you can find the answer. But numbers, math, are so certain. So, if I'm wrong, I can openly admit it and say, 'I was wrong.' That's really great. (Laughs)

who would be better at teaching someone who struggles with math than someone who struggled with math and figured it out

That's the best type of person for the job!!

my dad seemed disappointed in my choice of math class because he thought it would be too easy but i think i might be the only freshman in the class so take that 👍
