as critical as i usually am of the democrat’s strategy of doing nothing, i think it was the right call here. if the appointment of a new justice did get blocked (which it very likely would have), then that would translate to yet another justice being appointed by trump. and that’s simply too big a risk to take

best self defense mechanism there is

this was also me in my 20s when someone asked if i wanted to go out drinking

always remember, <=> is the three-way comparison operator. it takes two arguments.

maybe giving him the nobel prize for literature was the committee's way of saying he should have just been a writer

i would disagree that math problems only have one strategy for getting to the answer. there are many things, particularly in more abstract math, which can be understood in multiple different ways. the first example that comes to mind is the fundamental theorem of algebra. you can prove it using complex analysis, algebraic topology, or abstract algebra. all the proofs are quite different and rely on deep results from different fields of math.

i think the same thing holds in the less abstract areas of math, it’s just that people are often only taught one strategy for solving a problem and so they believe that’s all there is.

it would be a pretty funny post for the full 5 minutes it would last until it got stalin sorted out of lemmy.ml

who wants to bet that there is, in fact, a price tag for his mass deportation plan?

the human head can only take so many punches

surely you mean "millions of people who aren't me"?

i wonder what the inverse of the letters in the english alphabet are. since it has a non-prime number of letters (26 to be exact), we know that some letters won’t have inverses. i wonder which letters don’t have inverses. i guess it would be pretty easy to find out if you use the standard alphabet ordering and then port the alphabet over to ℤ/26ℤ, but that’s not a particularly satisfying answer.

i take comfort in knowing that most of the time it’s going to be sarcasm, since (in my experience) there are very few trump supporters on lemmy. and the few trump supporters that i’ve seen don’t tend to last.

crazy to think that trump might do exactly what he said he was going to do. how could we, the voters, have predicted this?

yeah cohomology can be particularly rough. look on the bright side though, at least you now have the tools to answer this question:

exactly!

and i am always in favor of counting with fingers. we were given them for a reason, might as well make the most of them. counting is hard enough as it is

what was that? like $4?

what is it giving mr hussein

isn’t that her second amendment right though?

i was in a group call with 6 mathematicians, and it came time to order our names in the paper we were writing. in math papers, the names are always ordered alphabetically. we had to pull up a picture of the alphabet because none of us could remember which way the letters are ordered.

oh fuck i wasn’t prepared for this. but this one feels way more fair.

my gut tells me walnut
