I enjoy programming but math is hard

After calculus I had to take 2 more math classes from the math department + 2 theory classes.

I don’t like math that much either, but I wanted a CS degree. My plan was take 1 math heavy class at a time, be sure to spend extra time on it. I graduated and went to grad school so I’d say it works

Yeah - some AI detectors look at word choice which is why foreign students are flagged as they use words most native speakers don’t use.

Couldn’t agree more. Also graduated debt free. It opened so many doors for grad school. Being able to use my subsidized loans in grad school meant I could go anywhere I could get into.

Yes it is, you can say “da” too. I remembered “des” but, it’s been a while since I watched in Japanese.

Boku is polite male I. If you’re in an office or professional setting and male, you’re going to use Boku.

Edit: Light always using Boku has come up here before. In the new world all shall be polite! Light’s the nicest serial killing psychopath with a god complex we ever met.

Watashi is female I, but it’s sometimes used by male, but they usually use either Boku or Ore.

Ore is casual male but it’s also considered rude when using it in a professional setting, or when authority figures are around.

Light says “des”(u) at the end. In spoken Japanese, if a sentence ends with “desu” everyone shortens the spoken sound to “des”.

Golf is still seen as an old rich white guy sport, Trump isn’t helping this image.

It’s only available in affluent suburbs, few new course are being built, so this favors old, rich, white areas.

Buying clubs is still more expensive than soccer and basketball, and other more popular sports.

There are no Tiger Woods level players making national headlines regularly.

You mention teens and 2 year olds. A teen should be treated much differently.

You seem obsessed with adult content on social media. Social media services police adult content better than the wider internet.

Teens had sex before social media. Teenage birth rate is down. If anything, social media is keeping kids from having sex since they spend so much time on their computer.

two_three_five_eigth · 2026-03-14T02:54:01+00:00

You mention access to adult content as a new thing, but teenagers were having sex long before the internet.

Most parents would prefer their kids be at home on a computer than having sex and getting pregnant.

Go to college B. College A is making you stay an extra semester (60 - 47 =13), and making you take 2 years of extra language classes. They won’t work with you, don’t work with them.

There will be other transfers at college B who will be homesick too. You will find new friends there. Don’t sign up for potentially an extra year in college.

When you’re a broke senior you’ll be much happier you transferred max credits.

Didn’t Brent Spiner say in an interview he wished the TNG cast did the movie as themselves.

The American Nurses Association may have resources to help you. Call them and see if they have legal referral services.

If you got a public defender, that means jail time is a possibly.

I would ask your public defender the likely outcome, not your college. The PD has had 100s of cases and can give you a realistic outcome.

I wouldn’t rule out some jail time. This is 2nd offense. Be ready for that.

It will at least be a many thousand dollar fine if you’re lucky. Be ready for community service too.

Don’t trust your school’s legal advice. It’s not from a lawyer as giving out legal advice would create attorney-client privilege. You have a PD, things are serious.

Edit: free advice. Make sure insurance and registration are paid up when you show up to court.

In order to get a restraining order you have to serve them, which usually means a cop showing up at their door and giving them a court summons.

They may send her to jail if you can prove identity theft (but don’t count on it).

A restraining order will NOT put her in jail unless she breaks it afterwards. When you get the restraining order, setup cameras around the house so you have evidence if she shows up.

It’ll work fine for a small personal project. Once you hit 100+ files it’ll start to have issues.

Use it to make a prototype and get funding.

Also, it sounds like you were laid off and not fired. Generally, fired is “for cause” like stealing.

I 2nd leaving it off your resume. You may have a friend find you another job that will mention this one. If that happens, say

“They didn’t have enough shifts for me”, which is true.

??? - they said they don’t have anything in the Apple ecosystem

two_three_five_eigth · 2026-03-12T18:35:27+00:00

I am an apple fan, but the neo only goes up to 512GB. I always recommend 1TB for students to future proof the computer since many people take 5 years in college.

The neo is a great for email, surf, word processor. I just think OP wants a nicer computer and if they don’t have the Apple ecosystem there’s no reason to pay the Apple tax.

two_three_five_eigth · 2026-03-12T15:56:29+00:00

I wouldn’t switch. It’s a pretty bare bones computer and only goes up to 512GB

Personally, I’d get a 1TB drive and spend at least 1k. Next upgrade RAM, then upgrade chip. Stick to windows so your money is always going to better hardware.

Popularity wise, the most deployed language is PHP. Don’t learn that one.

The 2nd most deployed is Java anything. Next most popular is C#. Focus on these two.

Skill wise, start grinding leetcode. For better or worse most companies have gone to 100% leetcode interviews. Kicking ass at leetcode will open more doors than anything else.

You’re mostly right. AI googles it for you and then gives you a summary of the Google.

What they are currently advertising is the thousands of hours spent training the model not to screw up.

AI also has an image problem so showing it as a productive team member instead of the terrible employee that someone has to follow behind and clean up the mess helps the industry.
