Only that he had young grandchildren at the time already. Like younger than 2.

No I don't know about his other kids. I know there's three of them. That's it. No names, ages, places, nothing.

I've got zero interest in him because, he's all around terrible. But I have been curious about those three. Sometimes I wonder if they even knew about me.

who wants to hear a good burn?

From what little I gather, they don't like him either.

@Emma good fuck him

well not literally

lol

I think I win first place for worst dad here. 😛

Hate to think what could have happened to me if he wasn't caught.

With the drugs he was on.... anything could have happened.

loool

Yes and worse outcomes too

guys

does anyone here who is 10x more experienced than me have advice on maths test

What sort of test?

Trig? calculus?

permission to use calculator. financial maths and algebra

That's relatively easy.

and it covers pretty much everything weve done so far in my entire life

yeah but im stupid do you have any advice or whatever

I'm an actual mathematician. It's what I went to school for. Algebra to me is what a screwdriver is to a carpenter. Just one tool among many and nothing special about it nor difficult.

i see. too bad im a dumb shit and my only bad subject is maths but its the only one i cant get a grasp on

all the numbers just overwhelm me

Algebra is pretty easy as far as subjects go. If you have trouble with it, something that can help is trying some visual aids. They can help you get your mind around it when just looking at pure text doesn't do it for you.

ive tried studying really hard even 2 weeks in advance and the test turns out like 10 times more difficult than what i learnt, also thanks for the advice m8

Visual aids help a lot. They're the best way of getting your mind around most math subjects.

I'm sitting at 89% in a Calc 2 course this semester 😀

I find that most people who trouble understanding algebra are actually more visual in their learning.

im still a fetus so this should be easy compared to what you guys are doing...

but my best result was 64 percent and my worst was 53

I went into high school calculus already knowing what they'd teach in the college classes.

Calc 2 is my last Calculus class

The other students looked at me with a look that combined loathing, contempt, jealousy, and envy when I finished a five day test in 25 minutes and got a perfect score and the only one in the class to get more than an 80%.

Next semester I have to take Linear Algebra

Ugh heard that linear algebra is tuff

And Calc 2 kicks my ass occasionally as well

Is this high school or college?

high school

I'm in college

at least i have time to fix it right

Algebra is the easiest subject in mathematics and typically the only one you're usually required to advance up to if your degree in college doesn't require it.

The problem most people have is they can't wrap their minds around the words and letters and require a visual aid to help them conceptualize it and most teachers don't really do that.

Linear Algebra is nothing like high school Algebra

Matrices and shiiiiieet

I heard good things about this channel for helping struggling people learn these subjects.

I could probably be a decent mathematics teacher if I wanted to. I'd have to finish my degree though, I never did because of health and financial reasons.

Some kind of visualization always helps understand various subjects. It helps immensely in algebra, trig, and calculus.

Calculus often seems daunting and unapprochable if you just look at the raw equations. Visualizations make it much easier.

@ViperChan Make America Great Again

thanks for the vid

Try watching more from that channel, it should help.

Specific questions I can help with but I won't just give you the answer. It's a poor teacher that does the work for you.

but legit i am so tired i cant concentrate on doing actually maths as practice for my test (which is on next wednesday) so i think this will help me at least learn something

I'm waiting for PBS Digital Studios to create an entry level mathematics channel. They are the absolute best at making any subject, no matter how difficult to compreend, very easy to understand.

Unfortunately their only channel covering mathematics is their new one called Infinite Series. Which is directed towards people like me, experts who are already very knowledgable in most math subjects.

They have introductory science channels like Physics Girl, and a high end science channel called Space Time.

what kinds of jobs incorporate biology 🤔

That's something you should just google. 😄

it is by far my favourite thing to learn

yea i should

lol

Most biology courses are going to require learning more complciated math than others would. Like, say, a degree in some law field.

It's annoying though because most professional biologists don't do their own mathematical work. They outsource it to people like me.

That's the case in nearly every field of science.

ee

Most professional scientists have little to no understanding of basic mathematics.

They outsource it all.

guess i have to learn some maths so i wont be an asshole

That's some of the dirty little secrets they don't like advertising because it undermines the crediblity of some of their more controversial claims.

but really- bioloogical stuff is fuckn amazing and like awtching those cool documentaries as a kid really got me into it

i know a job regarding it is likely different but still

xd

You're going to be required to take some math courses for the degree but once you've got the degree you're likely to have little use of it again because it'll all be oursourced to a qualified mathematician

well at least i can teach my kids maths like my mother taught/still sometimes teaches me

In the larger context, algebra is more like.... well learning division really. To higher levels of mathematics it's just one of the very basic operations, one of the languae rules of mathematics, and not really an actual subject in itself.

I'm studying applied mathematics and computer science atm. 3rd degree. To the person requring some basic explanation of linear algebra check out Khan academy

Actually that's a pretty good degree combination. I was thinking of combining mine with a second but can't decide which.

Yeah the double major is tough but very exciting Emma.

It's not an issue for me now because I can't afford to go back. But I am hoping someday I can.

i have no idea since im still in highschool and not in my last year

There were many contributing factors, but a major one was that I was being forced, by my parents, to continue taking a medication for aspergers that was only making me lethargic and barely functional. If I stopped, they threatened to cut me off and at the time I could not have survived that.

It shreaded any chances of me continuing past my first year.

They let me stop taking it after they ruined my college run.

I did neuroscience first and there are amazing online courses you can do (the moocs). Was in the same boat as you. Paying for the modules I can. Had to do career change because I cant stand in a lab anymore (health).

After that I qualfiied for social security and made it on my own. Every attempt to get a job ending in denial. I never even was given an interview. They just took one look and threw it away and never got back to me.

That's really tough Emma

I hate being on government benfits but no matter what I do I can't seem to dig myself out of it.

The biggest problem with it is that they won't let you be frugal.

I can only imasa

If you're responsible and have some left over you can move to your savings account they're all "well fuck you then, now you get nothing!"

Imagine

So you have to zero it out every month if you want to keep getting it.

Sorry dropped my phone on my face lol

It's designed to keep you trapped in it.

The campus I went to was huge. Massive. And it was so crowded with buildings there was no getting a ride from building to building.

And with my luck, almost every class ended up being on the opposite side of campus from the previous.

So that + meds that made you super sleepy = horrifying combination

that sounds fucking shitty

I was all zoned out and barely concious when I got to each class.

I usually left them not remembering anything that went on in it.

No matter how much I complained to it to my parents, begging to not have to take that med anymore, they wouldn't listen.

Respiridol. Or something like that. One you can't spell.

wow

It made my boobs bigger and super exhausted all the time. That's about it. Not what it was supposed to do.

@Emma If you don't mind me asking, what is Respiridol for?

It's for various mental conditions.

searched it up, is it risperidone?

Same thing different name.

That's one of its names.

i see

The breast growth side effect isn't really advertised on its warning labels but it.... well in its case it's not one that "might" happen like most side effects, it's one that will happen.

Endocrinologists are well aware that it does this.

🤔

But don't think you can get a prescription of it for boob growth. 😛

It'll do it for males and females. Great for girls and trans girls. Horrible for males and trans males.

I was taking it for aspergers.

my aunt always tells me dont take the pills

Aspergers is screwy that way. There's no medications meant explictily for it.

But they often don't work.

The ones they try I mean

Which are ones for other conditions they use to treat the symptoms.

aspergers seems ok, was it like actually affecting your life too negatively to need medication??

Honestly, I don't think it should be medicated.

i can agree on that

I have big tits as they are

i have average

Yeah, the difference is I'm a male

Mine are growing as we speak.

i was searching up the drug and check out this side effect??!

"painful erection of the penis that lasts for hours"

I can't say that's a common side effect.

More of a "rare but not unheard of" type of reaction

wait its meant to be an allergic reaction

whyd it says side effects at the top then

Respiridol may cause drowsiness, sleepiness, suicidal thoughts, or it may make your tits bigger

oh, AND adverse reactions

why not put them separately

what is this website

There's some controversy with it.

exhales

Some specialists think the condition should be managed with therapy, not medications.

And there have been some companies that fudged the details a bit to help over prescribe them.

I don't therapy has every done anything for me

It depends on the therapist. If they're just there for the paycheck, they're probably not going to help. If they're there because they actually want to help people, you'll get better results.

My best friend is thinking of going to therapy for his

that is so stupid!! if respiridol is so powerful as it says on practically every website and commonly used for schizophrenia its so stupid to use it on something like aspergers

h0oly shit

It's a lucurative job so most are there just for the money and don't give a damn about you.

since medications will be found on his urine tests

and the army doesn't like that

Doctors in smaller towns are a better bet.

One in a bigger city is more likely to be one of those distant ones that don't really care about your problems.

Serious side effects may include the potentially permanent movement disorder tardive dyskinesia, as well as neuroleptic malignant syndrome, an increased risk of suicide, and high blood sugar levels.

I can safely say the only lasting effects I got was boobs. I had none before then and noticable ones after and at the time I was a damn twig with no fat at all.

Some authors recommend limiting the use of risperidone and aripiprazole to those with the most challenging behavioral disturbances in order to minimize the risk of drug-induced adverse effects.[

it only says weight gain on wikipedia

Common side effects include movement problems, sleepiness, trouble seeing, constipation, and increased weight.

My endocrinologist said it's a well known effect. I'd wager he'd have access to more accurate information than Wikipedia.

yeah i know

im just using wikipedia as the most basic of basics for my information, im not disproving the fact it may cause breast growth

I guess it's not advertised explictily so people don't try to aquire them to get that effect out of them considering its other adverse affects.

Most serious side effects aren't common

yeah

thats why it says most serious and has some obscure stuff on it

I always make sure to read the list of "if you have ____ problems don't take this"

Non-surgical boob growth that's permanent and not just water weight? People'd go crazy for that.

lol

Most of the supplements for breast growth you see online just cause water buildup in your boobs and that'll go away if you stop taking it. The growth from this drug is actual breast tissue and never goes away.

the focus seems to be on schizophrenia, bipolar and like severe autism or smth, why someone would prescribe it to a person with aspergers is beyond me

Because it was lucartive.

I said there was controversy.

It was trendy then to overmedicate kids for mental issues.

i see

Hmm

The big three were rispiridone, adderall, and the infamous ritalin.

gtg and study or smth ;^T

Have fun @Deleted User

*crying*

It sucks having no friends on the Internet lol

I do math problems for fun.

Others consider that to be torture

3am and of course the boy is asleep

rip me

Good thing I bailed on going to bowling in the morning

my body is being so fucking weird

I was tired took something for pain now I'm awake

Help

yeah recently last night i completely lost my appetite and didnt eat my lunch at all and i wasnt feeling hungry despite barely eating anything. today i ate my breakfast but thats it, and again i didnt eat my lunch

* and i usually dont eat dinner, just a lunch around 3.of course i dont starve myself, i just eat multiple snacks instead

Linkin Park is a pop band now

It's pretty much pop

no

but rip them then

am i edgy for liking edgy songs? 🤔

I feel bad for not talking to the future boyfriend all day

I didn't feel like talking to anyone

Like even talking to my friend earlier when we hung out was just ehhhh
