why is math so hard, who let that happen

[cofinaldestination]

Gauss, probably

but seriously when did we all start saying “yo”

[cory-schneids]

I actually have an answer to this. In Ancient Rome they had this holiday called Saturnalia which basically means “salutations!” And they’d hold festivals in the streets and stuff and the traditional greeting during these festivals was “io saturnalia!” io being pronounced “yo”. So io saturnalia means Salutations! so yo means salutations. So to answer your question, we all started saying yo around 497 BC

[iluisindustries-deactivated2018]

pretty sure it’s more to do with aave but ok.

[stochasticprocesses-deactivated]

Yeah that above explanation is not relevant to why we use “yo”

Sometimes it helps just to attack the problem head on. about two months ago i took Hubs to the ER. since then i’ve been dealing with the nightmare of medical bills. first, we got the bill and i started crying “omg how am i supposed to pay this what is insurance even good for wtf” then i call the hospital “i can’t pay the minimum monthly i need financial aid” i fill the form out and submit it back, and i finally heard back. we were surprisingly denied (i’m not sure how 1/2 your income going to tuition and only being employed 3/4 of the yr ISNT a reason for aid, but i digress.....) but i called again because SERIOUSLY I CANNOT MAKE THAT “REQUIRED” MINIMUM MONTLY. lady: “oh yeah, idk who told you that, that’s not true. what can you pay? oh okay, i’ll submit this and once the guy processes the paperwork you’ll be set up.” so at every step of this fiasco i’ve been totally upset only have to have some sort of answer for my problem, as long as i went out to Fix It. which is nice. sometimes anxiety makes you shut down from your problems. when it’s abt your family, sometimes you suit up. and sometimes that’s all you need to do.

Turns out that adulthood is basically a long series of conversations about how tired you are, interspersed with smiling sympathetically as someone else tells you how tired they are (but you’re thinking they are not nearly as tired as you).

NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION 

[ryanandmath-deactivated20180118]

Most great scientists know many important problems. They have something between 10 and 20 important problems for which they are looking for an attack. And when they see a new idea come up, one hears them say “Well that bears on this problem.” They drop all the other things and get after it… They get rid of other things and they get after an idea because they had already thought the thing through. Their minds are prepared; they see the opportunity and they go after it.

calculus gothic

-epsilon is negative. epsilon has always been negative. no matter how you struggle, epsilon will stay negative.

-you must write +C at the end of every communication with the entity feeding upon your work. you change your last name to +C, vainly praying that this will appease their ferocious appetite. It does not. +C

-dy/dx is a fraction. dy/dx isn’t a fraction. you can never know when it is. you can never know when it isn’t. it is always there. laughing. it owns a cat. a black cat. she sleeps in a box. plotting.

-there are parts everywhere. dismembered functions lying prone on cold white pages. you are told to integrate by them. everything only gets worse. more parts appear. then more. and more.
