Yes I agree you should be mindful of what you're actually being tested on but studying JUST to memorize will absolutely be more work in the long run

Take calculus in that it's basically a pyramid, if you never managed to understand what a differential was then integrals will literally feel like magic and no amount of memorization will help you understand until you go back

Take it balanced!!

adderall or snack beforehand

I study better when I'm drunk. Take a shot of vodka beforehand.

Recently I had this paper I just could not start, I had already done like 500+ pages of reading for it and outlined the whole thing but I just could not write the first paragraph. I took a shot of shitty tequila and my writers block was instantly fixed lol

Kek. Alcohol is really the best thing for writing

>But I still get the need to socialize and come here.
I fundamentally disdain other people and I hate the base social animal part of me that still needs human interaction to keep me from becoming mentally ill. I have to force myself to interact with people periodically like its medicine. Retarded.

>>295674
Yeah you don't need that. Ever since i learned to cut that out of me my life is better for it. People usually just exhaust you unless its a few rare individuals. You go in expecting fun but its always a swinefest.

>>295674
This site is a pretty subpar substitute for human interaction. But I like the idea to talking to other women while remaining anonymous.
I wouldn't try to make friends from this site, I can't stand some of you and I'd probably despise them in irl.

>>295698
i cant stand me either and wouldnt want to be friends with myself irl too

Delinquency vs psychopathy. This video and what's seen in plenty of American schools is pretty consisent in behavioral issues. Teachers have been leaving or preparing to leave in droves because of shit like this.

>>308883
Education in America is really screwed up. There's no way of disciplining students.

insert a a school shooting joke here

>>308889

Why joke when it's just true

>>308850
this is too painfully cringey to watch, someone summarize what is happening in this video for me

>>308928

Girls who bronze together

I am invested in this story

I was certain this would end with somebody catching feelings but I was disappointed.

I thought it was a pasta machine

Maybe it's regional? The majority of libfems or just generally out of touch normies I've met irl are uncritically into her.

>>308902
Hmm, most libfems I've seen love to idolize Beyonce or Nicki Minaj, and they usually label TS as "basic" among other BS that they usually parrot, like taking racism out of their asses etc. I don't think TS is an example of feminism but who among us are, right?

>>308914
>Beyonce
>Nicki Minaj
>feminism

wow

>>308916
I forgot to mention that they also think Pedro Pascal is hot and that having casual sex is empowering (yes, it only gets worse)

>>308916

Sweatshop Girl Boss Beyonce.

Moids spam cp on this site to try to get it banned by the fbi

>>308847

They don't have enough places to go as it is, clearly

>>308847
Majority of cp is posted by feds to trap pedophiles look into it

>>308867
>look into it
Where do I look?

>>261196
you still need rennet

>>261155
Why…

>>261252
Actually you don't

>>261252
Wrong, you need raised prolactin levels to produce milk and that can happen for many reasons, not just childbirth

>>261142
It's not easy

Neither optimism or pessismism work. What people need is realism. However, even pessimism is still closer to that than optimism when you look at how rapidly unfuckable the problems in the world are getting. Living in optimism at this point would be an even higher delusion reserved only for those who don't have to witness these problems, like out of touch rich people. Pessimism can at least point shit out for people rather than make things up. One of my favorite comedians, George Carlin, was one cynical bastard but it also made his material extremely socially critical. Idealists only give rise to dictators. Cynicists just want to see some balance.

What is really the difference between cynicism and pessimism? They can both close you off to seeing alternatives. Cynicism is a looping concious habit a few houses down from 'survival/fear mode' in the exact same way pessimism is.

Usually evertime i talked to a self declared realist, it was usually a diehard capitalist moid, who eventually ratted himself out, defending the natural order of screwing everything and everyone over for the sake of his bottom line. They never tell you this to your face they always pretend to feed you this "social commentary" that ends up being some ruthless moid philosophy, for moids, by moids, "take heart, be comforted by the fact everything will burn down."

But in the end you can always tell they were total sadists sometimes and they authored the chaos from the start.

Realism can be good for certain periods of life though, i CAN agree with that. But "realists" can also shield themselves from risk too much. Life requires healthy amounts of risk and positive expectations, from previous success, which motivate you to take on more, and not get mired in "sunken details"


To be perfectly honest realists can just as easily get everyone sucked into a dead end holes with them, if they lead with a certain aversion to good expectations, in bad faith, or flat out 'survivalist mode' expectations. Which my god who doesn't fqll into that dead wnd expectation nowadays? Someone who doesn't is exceedingly rare and valuable.

..that 'survivalist' quality of life fucking sucks though. Holy f its awful. Its always living for scraps, because you dont know how to build calculated momentum around something you already know how to do, or something you've worked on for ages. It's not hard to reach momentum if you build something long enough, it's just inevitable.

And not knowing how to get in someone's brain, while they're building something doesnt mean you understand that activities worth lmao. A lot of people get caught up in themselves, their "realism". They will get stuck in survival/fear mode at having to try something alien, witness someone do something that rattles them. You see outsider perpective cynicism/ realism far more often nowadays. America has really gone south in that respect

I’m really enjoying the high quality posts that have started this thread off strong

time flies by so fast, thread is already 3 years old. not necessarily 'flies by' in the sense of total bliss that makes me forget time even exist. every few months a ray of sunshine manages to poke through the constant terror of the dense artificial clouds.

could be worse. no progress would be worse then ridiculously little progress. optimism is to appreciate the few remaining drops of water while wishing for the rain.

rejection of the ridiculously little progress would leave no room to build on the ridiculously little progress but with appreciation it might advance to be 'very little progress'.

a day is such a small amount of time and simultaneously after so many years i still don't feel competent in my time management skills to fill it wisely. but i'm getting there as slowly as the snail.
