smug
too long
doesn't answer the question
highly pedantic
extremely condescending
could it get any more "quora" than this?
listen here mate, I won't answer your question and also you're gay
Oh look it's the smartass who still uses the term "girly drinks" in the year 2024. Probably smells like literal shit too.
It's funny. His manly 8% beer. Her girly fruit drink that's like 60% straight vodka. Patriarchy is a trip.
When the semicolon is so misused you assume it must be just a spot of something on your screen
he probably takes pride in the fact that he knows semicolons ... exist. i bet he writes exclusively in cursive.
Polymath
What a nerd. I can do multiple kinds of maths too but you don’t see me making up words and bragging about it
Free lance, as in if you pay people i well stab people while astride buttercup, my trusty steed.
anyone who calls themselves a polymath suffers from dunning-kruger
Me, a polymath, inventing new kinds of invisimaginary numbers to try to figure out who all is actually in my polycule and which people i'm dating.
why assume irish cream? white russians and toasted almonds exist. the bloke didnt even answer the question!
Love 2 ask people online for help only to get some smug smartass telling me to suck shit and the next reply is an AI telling me it's safe to drink bleach.
I wish these absolute losers would just say "haha wat r u gay" instead of this elaborate fedora dance, but they are allergic to simplifying absolutely anything they say because doing so would reveal how mud-fucking simple their thoughts and opinions are, and we can't have that if we're gonna be an august man of letters can we?
At least almost everybody calling themselves a 'polymath' is just a bullshitter.
Today, humanity's collective knowledge about so many things is too deep to actually get in-depth into multiple topics. Hell, you can encounter mathematicians claiming that two mathematicians who study different branches might as well be speaking different languages to each other.it's worse than different languages. they use the same words to mean entirely different things. so you can say stuff from the same lexicon that means entirely different things to different mathematicians. there are supposed to be analogies that help you translate but jfc I swear to god if I hear one more definition of compactness I'm going to cry. no I'm not going to learn more category theory to understand how I can use a sheaf to translate the different notions because that also doesn't mean what I think it means. shut up shut up shut up words mean things. next you're going to tell me red is blue because color theory staaaahp
self-teaching math is a pain in the ass
but jfc I swear to god if I hear one more definition of compactness I'm going to cry
Huh. I'm only familiar with the ones that are equivalent to what you would learn in a general topology textbook/course almost right away, i.e. a compact space is a topological space, such that every open cover of the space contains as a subset a finite open subcover of the space. What other ones can you share?
EDIT: forgot a word. Not thinking great right now.
they're supposed to all be versions of that one, it's just not always very easy to see how - joke was mainly about that. category theory calls things compact if they're "small" in a very particular sense. algebraic compactness also has nothing to do with the topological notion, at least on the surface (abelian group that's a direct summand of every group containing it as a pure subgroup). basically, every area of math where the topological notion makes no sense will invariably call something compact eventually, because mathematicians can't resist.
sometimes if you squint you can see how it relates back to the topological notion but frequently it's anything but obvious if you don't already understand the field - which means when you're trying to work things out for yourself, you just have to treat it like one more definition of the same word until you finally get it one day.
I think it's easier if you have a prof who can just make the analogy clear from the start.
The only people close to polymaths in the modern day are white collar professionals who get disillusioned with their field and switch to another later in life because they have the comfort to do so. Every once in a while you see engineers go back to school and become lawyers, lawyers become doctors or things like that. At minimum you are only getting "polymath" status in your forties and you probably aren't unemployed and a writer.
He had to Google "liquor"? The rebellious colony must be held in very low esteem indeed for Mr. Polymath.
This "girly drink" discourse sounds weird living outside of the US or GB, over here everyone is at least a part-time alcoholic and the only way you might get negative comments is if you drink something non-alcoholic in a bar
Not saying that it's better, it's just weird where you attach your fragile masculinity to
Where I live there is some kind of masculine/ feminine alcohol stereotypes (whiskey/beer vs cocktails/wine) but whiskey cream is universal, it's just too yummy for anyone sane to repudiate on the basis of not being masculine enough
