It's ok to want money. It's ok to be upset that you're poor and wishing to be rich. I understand. People who say that money doesn't buy happiness have never eaten pasta every day because it's 50 cents at the grocery store or been short on money for christmas presents. Constantly scraping by makes people miserable and depressed and of course you're gonna dream about money, about being happy and priviledged. That's not greedy or horrible, that's life. It's ok.

Nothing slapped my shit back into place like someone pointing out that the "genius gifted child with so much potential who got burnout and mental illness" is just the nerd equivalent to the jock "could have been a pro at sportsball if it wasn't for the injury".

why did no one tell me that Rust and Marty are canon in True Detective? The profound and cathartic forgiveness amid intricate conflicts? Finding solace in each other's comfort? Shoving each other against walls with barely hidden lust; a persistent desire for physical closeness compelling them to seek constant touch with each other? I mean they were inseparable. One's existence hinged on the other.

It’s uncanny how similar Trump is acting like Hitler. People are now doing the Nazi salute. They’re drawing the symbol. The KKK was seen in Kentucky asking people to join them. ICE has been ripping families apart. Companies have pulled back Diversity Initiatives. We’re no longer part of WHO and there won’t be any communication from the CDC at least until February 1st. We’re being censored and the news can’t be trusted. Thousands of Americans didn’t know there were protests against Trump yesterday outside the U.S. Quotes from The Handmaid’s Tale and Anne Frank have been compared to what’s going on right now.

According to The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Studies and Prevention the U.S. has officially been given a red flag alert for Genocide.

I’m exhausted but I will never stop being angry.

An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar.

The 1st orders a beer.

The 2nd orders a half of a beer.

The 3rd orders a quarter of a beer.

The 4th begins to order, but the bartender cuts him off, saying "You guys need to know your limits." He puts 2 beers on the bar.

Though, what kind of beer glass did they recieve?

I used to have recurring fever dreams of math equations that would get more complex until I got overstimulated and it would alternate between that and every character in Genshin Impact having a shoot off. The sounds of the gunshots made me even more overstimulated.

Studying for my calc 3 exam and I had a nightmare that I was trying to solve something weird like x^2 + 4x +9 = e^x^2 + e and I don't remember what my strategy was but you know natural logs were involved. My professor walks by looks at my paper and goes " oh in this situation e is actually a variable" and I was so mad I woke up

hey mathblr i just wanted to let you know that i love you and literally all my creative content is math focused but i just happen to be kinda dogshit at math and only know high school level maths and even then just barely so thx for having me and being so nice

Pulling up to the set theory talk with the notebook I used in the psych ward (also to write set theory stuff)

Sorry for the de Rham cohomology posting but another thing I've been thinking about:

I also think it's really cool that we can use tools from algebraic topology to answer "when are closed forms exact?". Like even just the fact we have Mayer-Vietoris means that the problem for certain manifolds becomes a lot easier! You no longer have to worry as much about the differential forms themselves. And then obviously de Rham's theorem gives you an even more powerful tool for this!
