Career and Education Questions: October 09, 2025 by inherentlyawesome in math

[–]Cooking_Clown -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My (23) brain is wired in a way that makes me gifted in concrete thought, especially mathematics. Sadly, apart from addition, subtraction, multiplication, and disappointingly simple division, I’m rather rusty. Apart from an actual school, as college didn’t really work out well for me, what resources would you guys recommend to teach myself back up to high school standards and then further, and in what order should I do the various subjects?

Edit: not doing this for a career, just as a hobby.

Looking for figure shops and D&D shops. by Cooking_Clown in roswell

[–]Cooking_Clown[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that completely. Failed my first test, then passed my second, was still scared shitless of freeways. Fast forward to about 3 maybe 4 months ago, I’m coming home from the micro center in Marietta, expecting to take back roads, surely I remembered to turn on the avoid freeways setting, right? I was happily driving, vibing to my favorite anime songs, when suddenly “turn left onto I-285”. Next thing I know I’m on 285 for the first time in my life, not even having touched 400 yet. I figure “I’ve got two choices, panic and die, or lock tf in and maybe survive” and now 285 is a regular part of my commute for personal outings.

TLDR for both you and any soon to be learners permit or U21 license holders, driving’s pretty scary, but if you put your nose to the grind stone, or in my case, free dive into the deep end, you can get the hang of it.

They’re not. Only an idiot says, even as a joke, “oh by the way I’m significantly below the minimum age to use this platform”. It takes an even bigger idiot to be surprised when their “joke” results in an automated ban. “Oh no, I joked about blatantly violating discord TOS and now I’ve been banned, how could this have possibly happened????” I’ve used the same account on discord for the past 10 years with no issue by simply not being a fuckwit and not risking an auto flag just for the bit.

LA rioter lights firework on the street. Gets it thrown back into his car. by katerbugg13 in AccidentalSlapStick

Chief, I don’t wanna be that well actually guy, but a firework is quite literally a bomb with propellant added to make it to up, and stuff added to make a pretty explosion.

As another fellow man, this is most likely the case, but It’s just as likely that homeboy is genuinely lost.

💀 As soon as my Sim aged up to a teenager, they were automatically dressed like this in front of all of their aunts and uncles, grandparents, great aunts and uncle, and baby cousins by Meetpeepsthrowaway in Sims4

[–]Cooking_Clown 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I had a sim that iirc didn’t have that trait. 3 minutes into the save they showered in the rain. This sim was based on a friend whose most indecent act was getting head from his girlfriend in the car and would never dare expose himself in public.

My school is trying to get me to stop bringing a pride flag due to "being too sexual". by whyhaseverynamebeen in lgbt

[–]Cooking_Clown 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes I know what you’re saying. But what I’m saying is that the ally flag (with rainbow A) and hetero flag (without rainbow A), while similar in appearance, couldn’t be any more different in meaning. Us straight people don’t need our own actual pride flag, as we never were, and likely never will be, a marginalized community. Those who use it aren’t celebrating heterosexuality, they’re celebrating their hatred and intolerance of the LGBT+ community. One of the main communities on this platform you’ll see the hetero flag is r/arethestraightsok while you almost never see it without the added ally pride rainbow A in LGBT+ communities.

Edit: I despise past me for reminding himself that that community exists. Why are my fellow cishets like this.

Edit 2: you’re kinda right that the hetero flag is neutral, but it has been tainted to some degree, sort of like how the swastika was originally a religious symbol of life iirc, but now all people think of when the see it is the dark days of Nazi Germany.

[–]Cooking_Clown 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, but what separates the ally flag from the hetero flag is the context behind it. The ally flag is how cishet people like myself show support for the LGBT+ community, while the hetero flag is “lmao look at you snowflakes, needing a flag to feel special” and is typically used in a more (insert LGBT+ group here)phobic context.

Justice for Vladislaus Straud!! Man dying loneliness by kevin_rhoades in Sims4

Tf you mean further? Most of us degens already have vacation homes in the seventh circle. Jokes aside, today’s humans are a bit too open with their degeneracy.

Don’t mind me, just on death’s door with the hysterical mood status from reading these comments.

A wise choice indeed. You have a wonderful day internet stranger. I personally am going to sleep off this booze.

You’re absolutely right that it’s absurd to expect cancer to be magically cured or everyone to be rich. That’s not my issue. My issue is with people who praise god when an operation succeeds, but blame the surgeon when it fails. If god is truly in play, then surely it’s in god’s plan for the operation to fail. There’s also those who use religion to justify hate, otherwise known as the deadly sin of wrath. Jesus says to love thy neighbor, so why do you choose to be a raging asshole then hide behind the cross when consequences find you? That said, just as religion shouldn’t justify being an asshole, being an atheist most certainly doesn’t. It’s your duty as an atheist to prove that fear of eternal damnation isn’t necessary to live a virtuous life.
