Oof. What is up with these creepy, sweaty dudes on talkshows? I know they somewhat reflect the general populace, but to pull shit like this on air is just boggling.

I detested differential equations. However, that was more due to how it was presented than the underlying, surprisingly, beautiful math.

The only problem with courses like calc 3 and differential equations (in my experience, as a mathematician) is that they are cheating somewhat. By cheating I mean relying on inadequate, flawed or entirely omitted proofs. How can the students truly understand something if they are not presented the whole story (or at least reference)?

The good thing about these courses are that there are usually no shortage of relevant exercises!

Generally speaking, Library Genesis, Anna's Archive and Sci-Hub are your friends :) Otherwise you can try to email the authors. They will probably provide you with a copy.

I can do one without doing the other. I am an atheist and do not care for religion at all. However, that does not mean I blame Jews for something another group, the Zionists, think and do. Sure there is an overlap and corrolation, but the same is also very much true for the US Christian nut jobs along with others.

If you are going to label people and reject them on the basis of their label, make sure to label them right.

Let us not confuse Zionisim with the Jewish religion, please.

When I learned about it first time I thought it sounded too good to be true. Turns out, it is just that good.

Not because the capital spared from denied meals (or production thereof) are going directly towards yachts, but because the capitalist mode of production requires the threat of starvation to force us into unfavourable compensation for our labour.

Really, we could easily do both at this point (and more), but since greed knows no limits, there is also no limit to what pain the capitalist class will impose on us in order to extract surplus value.

We already produce enough food for a billion more people than what exists, but still around a billion live in starvation to deter the rest of us.

It is a joke, there are no ads. I just wrote a fake command in the Nix syntax.

That is because there can only be individual freedom through social cooperation, like taxes.

You mean the fucking pigs that murdered a journalist for being complicit in exposing them? They are all in prison now though, right? (spoiler: they are not)
