Mathematicians be like:
Def 1.1: A function f is fucked-up iff it is not Lebesgue measurable
Def 1.2: A function is evil iff its graph has non-integer Hausdorff dimension.
Exercise 1: Prove that there exist fucked-up and evil functions
Being a mathematician does irreparable damage to you vocabulary. I have on more than one occasion forgotten that certain words have normal every day meanings
Normal meanings as in, what, they're orthogonal?
You’re thinking of a normal vector! Normal meanings are meanings that are invariant under conjugation.
That's a normal subgroup! Normal meanings are those where any two disjoint closed subconcepts have disjoint open neighbourhoods.
That’s a normal space! Normal meanings are meanings whose third- and higher-order cumulants are zero.
hm no that's a normal distribution! normal meanings are local meanings obtained by exponentiating the tangent space at a point
ah, you've gotten it mixed up with normal coordinates. normal meanings are those such that, when written in a base b, their digits are uniformly distributed between 0 and b-1.
id rather you have cringy but honest interests than try and act like everything youve ever loved was in an ironic way cause you think that love for simple or useless or silly things is beneath you . pathetic! embrace existence with both hands coward
girls be like “im fighting demons” and the demon is a degree they chose for themselves
It's time to kill the idea that we can only grow and heal when we're uncomfortable. You heal every time you have a good conversation with someone. You heal every time you laugh. You heal every time something makes you smile genuinely. You heal every time you have fun creating something - anything. You heal every time you get so absorbed in something fun that you forget your struggles for a while. There is, in fact, lots of healing and growth to be found INSIDE your comfort zone.
people who want to live in lighthouse - i hear you, i understand you
but i raise you
living in water tower
safer (you not gonna die horrid death so easy), not so cursed but still ominous, you are alone bc you are in a tower but you can do groceries no problem, just chilling above everything else
and look at those beauties!! (from Poland <3)
as an american i was very confused by this post until i got to the images because our water towers look like this, which, as you can imagine, is a completey unsexy place to live
“The oldest olive tree in the world located on the island of Crete. It is estimated to be as over 3,000 years old and still produces olives.”

gotta share @telesilla’s tags -
#that was (give or take) around the time of the bronze age collapse #crete was no longer a major player #and the known world was kinda in turmoil #and yet someone planted an olive tree #i’m not saying there’s a direct parallel #but you know…systemic collapse thanks to many things including climate change #and it sucked for a lot of people #but they still needed olive oil #and idk man…maybe plant a tree #because the world has ended so many times #but the tree is still here #and so are we
