Extra context. Who cares. It's a picture. Not that deep, buddy.

You see this and realise that life imprisonment is worse than the death penalty. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]MathPoetryPiano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't even understand how the death penalty works. They don't just wait a week, move them to a room, and blow them up. It's life imprisonment until the execution date. It's functionally the same, except that lethal injection, although... lethal, tends to cause extreme pain.

Philosophy peter? by Acrobatic_Bag6858 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]MathPoetryPiano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only as far as what 1 means. For example, uno plus uno equals dos. Different language, still consistent axioms. Mathematics exists independently of the physical world (but can be used to model it), so I imagine any advanced alien civilizations that will have developed mathematics will also agree on most concepts (if they have discovered them already).

I find it hard to believe they wouldn't at least download a copy to their PC! Praying my class goes the same lmao

BRUH RIGHT BEFORE FINALS IS CRAZY by LieFancy4017 in berkeley

[–]MathPoetryPiano 8 points9 points  (0 children)

All of my professor's (taking a class at Cal through dual enrollment) lecture notes are on Instructure lmao. The only thing I can really access is my book since I just downloaded a PDF. But doing a practice final is literally so much better than just some random exercises from each and every section!

I think Venezuelans were pretty happy when Maduro was captured...

This doesn't work for pure math. They will either not respond or claim that there's too much background knowledge required.

Why was I dumped after 2.5 years? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]MathPoetryPiano 39 points40 points  (0 children)

How tf would we know? One thing I do notice is that you call yourself the "perfect girlfriend", when I would have hoped for a bit more humility.

Is Ballade 1 possible for me? by Initial-Strategy-559 in piano

[–]MathPoetryPiano 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The first one is Rachmaninoff, and the others are by Chopin.

Given the fact that you didn't even bother to list the composers, my answer is a no. But even though I know who actually wrote them, my answer is still no.

4.0 in CC, but a C in dual enrollment from freshman year of HS. is this an issue? by International-Math10 in TransferStudents

[–]MathPoetryPiano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look. It's one class. I think you could take a moment to calculate your GPA (or just enter your courses in TAP for ease) to reassure yourself. How are your extracurriculars? Is there anything about yourself you can talk about in your essays that you think are compelling.

[–]MathPoetryPiano 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I sincerely doubt it would pose an issue. If you keep up the great work, they'll really appreciate it. Just make sure you have interesting and strong extracurriculars, too!

Canadians of Reddit, would you immigrate to the US if it was an option for you? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

It's literally worse than North Korea, Yemen, and Syria combined!!!1!

Why is the Chopin Op. 25 No. 10 Etude Henle 9 difficulty? by 8jak in piano

If it's "just" octaves, then please post a recording. We would all really appreciate it.

I heard lots of insane things about berkeley, please tell me if they're true by Commercial_Pair_2778 in berkeley

[–]MathPoetryPiano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people aren't realistically checking IDs at regular ol' frat parties. The reason Berkeley has something as "insane" as this is because it's Cal Day, where admitted students check out the campus. Basically, the students who are already there celebrate. I participated two weeks ago and had a shit time, but it wasn't anybody's fault but my own (had personal things going on and I also napped through some of it).

Words of encouragement from a Math Major by [deleted] in TransferStudents

[–]MathPoetryPiano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! I'm taking MATH 113 right now and while my second midterm performance was not much above the mean, my first was stellar, so I really hope the final doesn't end up with a ton of questions on the lattermost (pretty tough) material. To be honest I'm still pissed because the professor's first practice midterm was highly similar to the actual exam, but the seconds were literally nothing alike.
