thanks. it's pretty crazy how hard calculus has been for me, but i actually enjoy learning it. it's for all sorts of weird reasons, like it gives me a great sense of accomplishment that i dont get from easy stuff like humanities/social sciences and that it's very specific, directional, and useful |

The trick with a lot of maths is abuse libraries. You want to find good books about the subject you are looking at and you want to go over them multiple times. The lower the topic is the easier it is to find good books with lots of examples and fairly strong method based stuff. |

Math is about setting down rules and fastidiously following them as far as they go. | |

While I'm nerding out, I was having a conversation at work about the least healthy nut. I thought it was the cashew for some vague reason probably relating to it being so easy to eat and poisonous if not prepared but it turns out its the peanut, which isn't really a nut but a legume. | |

Good luck wuf sounds like something that suits you. I have two pieces of advice for you. First, the most important thing is to not get discouraged when it seems like you dont get any of it. Getting this sort of stuff is a long term process which has a lot of aha moments which further your knowledge but also create more questions than they provides answers. The end result is that you get good at it but the path is shaky, you must realize and expect this. And youll mainly want to just study for passing the exams like everyone does. Second, this is probably the best time to be taking such a class because the internet has become a huge repository of knowledge and you can find answers in a lot of places if you look around.And talk to everyone you can about it. Nothing cements knowledge in your head better than hearing it from other people. | |

Yeah Bill Burr is ridiculously good. He's my second-favorite comedian of what I consider modern times behind Patrice O'Neal (rip). | |

He is amazingly good. I don't put him that high, but I do think he doesn't get as many accolades as he deserves. His most recent special on Netflix had me dying. | |

That was amusing. Sure, the bummer with the stupid pony tail is a dick, but those two meatheads demanding he gets off, they're even bigger dicks... the kind of power hungry guys who got rejected by the police. This pony tail twat is well within his rights to stand his ground, the inspectors have no authority. As for the gobshite passengers who moan at pony tail, they're directing their frustrations at the wrong people. Those two meatheads, tell them to get the fucking train moving, or you'll be demanding a refund and making a complaint about them bullying a passenger. | |

He's being a twat for sure, but he's within his rights. What are the inspectors supposed to do? Either contact the police, or let it go. That's all they can do, because they don't actually have any authority. They are not police. | |

he... is doing something wrong. i'm not sure what you mean. he's doing something wrong and they dealt with it in the necessary manner, they did call the police. but it took a lot of time and it held up a lot of people that were trying to get to work, and it was incredibly inconsiderate and obnoxious. | |

I think it is significant. What we have here is two people who feel that they have authority, telling a passenger on the train that he must show his card or get off the train. They have no right to force him to do either. The fact they are trying to shows that people like this feel that they have authority when they don't. They are no better than debt collectors, or traffic wardens. | |

He is breaking the law. It is a police matter. And they needed him to get off the train so he could be dealt with. But he didn't. You're right, there is no in between. I fail to see the in between nature of how this was handled. And no one bullied him. They were being incredibly respectful. No official there raised their voice once at him or said anything out of line. The passengers on the train were more than justified in getting as angry as they did. Again, holding up a train where people are getting to work in the morning because you think you're doing important activist work (when you're actually 100% wrong about literally everything you are saying) is beyond obnoxious. | |

I admittedly can't answer that so maybe someone with a better understanding of how all that works can jump in and prove one (or both) of us wrong/right. | |

This is why it's significant. People just assume that these people have authority. People are unaware of their rights and just roll over whenchallenged by some meathead with a badge. There's a lot wrong with that. People need to stand up for their rights. The twat in this video is going about it the wrong way, but hell at least he's doing something. | |

You really think these guys are meatheads with badges? And not just people trying to do their job and make sure every traveler is a paying customer, because those are the rules? Literally nothing he did in this video is justifiable. | |

Ong you are talking out of your ass. Public transit police have every right. They are employed by the government who owns the public transportation and they are entitled to uphold the rules of the transportation system. If you are breaking the law on the system they will arrest you and be witnesses in court. They are sworn officers of the government but are not police. Contrary to what you and every other hippy dick thinks, public transportation and government buildings, property and equipment are not public places. It is private property. | |

If you have clear rules (that are within the law) on what's acceptable in your house and I enter your house and break them you have the authority to forcibly remove me. It's not that different. | |

No. It's not an infringement of his civil liberties. He HAS to show it to them. Those are the rules of this service. He does not have the right to travel in peace if he can't follow the basic rules of the service he is using to travel. | |
