But with chemistry it would be just perfect

2018-12-18 20:02:20 UTC  

I sucked at chemistry in HS

2018-12-18 20:02:35 UTC  

It was interesting without the math parts I struggled with.

2018-12-18 20:02:42 UTC  

Although I would probably do a lot better now.

Math is easy

2018-12-18 20:03:06 UTC  

Most of it is boring

2018-12-18 20:03:22 UTC  

But at least it's easy and you don't have to put any effort into that

2018-12-18 20:03:31 UTC  

All the metals have a variable charge and readily give up electrons to become cations

2018-12-18 20:03:41 UTC  

So you don't have to really keep track of them

2018-12-18 20:04:38 UTC  

But the main group elements all have a charge they will take on to stabilize the atom.

2018-12-18 20:04:46 UTC  

I got straight 50s in math until I was 20 and went back to college to upgrade my shitty high school grades.

2018-12-18 20:05:02 UTC  

Once I learned programming, math was ezpz

2018-12-18 20:05:24 UTC  

Which was dumb that programming made more sense to me than math did and I ended up working backwards to git gud at math

2018-12-18 20:05:26 UTC  

What does "50s" mean?

2018-12-18 20:05:30 UTC  

Sometimes with math all it takes is just taking off from it and then relearning it.

2018-12-18 20:05:30 UTC  

50/100

2018-12-18 20:05:33 UTC  

Like a percentage scale?

2018-12-18 20:05:34 UTC  

Oh

2018-12-18 20:05:35 UTC  

Ok

2018-12-18 20:05:37 UTC  

A 50 is the minimum passing grade

2018-12-18 20:05:56 UTC  

It should be here too tbh

2018-12-18 20:06:10 UTC  

I literally learn math on tests

2018-12-18 20:07:17 UTC  

It's like
Okay, I don't know a shit about all this "combinatorics" thing, but I'll figure it out, right?

2018-12-18 20:07:28 UTC  

And it always works for me

2018-12-18 20:08:35 UTC  

Well that's good

2018-12-18 20:08:45 UTC  

But yeah learning about matter is fun.

2018-12-18 20:09:05 UTC  

And you end up learning about how it interacts with the fundamental forces and vice versa

2018-12-18 20:09:38 UTC  

Which is invaluable knowledge if you're OCD like me or just curious about the nature of the universe ^^

2018-12-18 20:10:10 UTC  

Universe is a horrible place tbh

2018-12-18 20:10:20 UTC  

Its cold dark and ugly.

2018-12-18 20:10:31 UTC  

But matter is cool

2018-12-18 20:10:38 UTC  

But there's starts to light it up

2018-12-18 20:10:41 UTC  

Well, isn't matter a part of the universe?

2018-12-18 20:10:48 UTC  

Like, quite an essential one

2018-12-18 20:10:56 UTC  

Definitely.

2018-12-18 20:10:58 UTC  

The downside is that those stars emite huge amounts of radiation and will boil you alive in space without a suit.

2018-12-18 20:11:05 UTC  

I meant how it interacts with the rest of the universe.

2018-12-18 20:11:10 UTC  

What a shitty way to die.

2018-12-18 20:11:16 UTC  

Oh, okay, I meant the "universe" in a broader sense

2018-12-18 20:11:21 UTC  

Like, including Earth
