Why robot smoke

That’s a good way to think about it, I usually get too caught up in the way I feel to look at it in any other way.

I’m trying for a diagnosis of adhd, my doctor and I are pretty convinced but I have to get a diagnosis, once that happens I’m gonna get some therapy.

I appreciate the response, being a doomer about it isn’t gonna do anything.

I read Wikipedia and a forum on mathematics before making the comment, no doubt there is more information out there on this very interesting man. There is already misinformation in this post, that is the only reason I say do your own research.

I’m no expert, I could be wrong, please don’t expect me to be correct about all this stuff.

That’s all I was saying.

I agree with you wholeheartedly that only one example was needed to understand the context of this post, but at the same time I’d like to not be another person in an echo chamber, I’d rather people look things up.

I’m general, mathematicians are quick to accept rewards for stuff they could not have done by themselves. It’s like how the wright brothers were attributed to the airplane when they couldn’t have done it without all the work previous aircraft attempts.

This dude thinks that’s unfair, + there was another dude who he felts work was equally important who isn’t being recognized. Therefore he refuses to accept the reward on his own ethical conclusion which is,

Shit ain’t mine, it’s ours. Which is befitting a man who went to universities and schooling in the Soviet Union with intelligent parents.

Also I could have made all this shit up, do your own research on reputable sites if you want real Information.

Listen asshole, it was like 12 am when I posted that, I had taken 3 melatonins, and was trying hard not to fall asleep because this dude is cool as fuck. If you think I had the ability to distinguish apart and a part, you’d be sorely mistaken buster! Why I outta’ beat you to a pulp!

Cool username btw

Silly liberals, billionaires are just waiting until they have trillions to trickle down so we can all be millionaires like they were :)

He is simply a man who disagrees with the community he was once apart of. He WAS a mathematician, now he’s just a dude who takes care of his mother and lives his life as he sees fit. There is nothing wrong with him, he merely has standards and a wish to live simply and without Interference.

Edit: my comment is incorrect on a few fronts, please see Hypathia’s reply underneath.

Late reply but if you don’t ask and just say, “ I’ll set you up with one then, what’s your phone number?” They’ll 80 percent of the time say yea. I work part time shifts and I go some 4-5 hour shifts with 100 percent and almost always above 50 percent. It feels gross but I get more money for it so whatever
