I believe someone already mentioned this, but we know that Lil Nas X survived the snap because Shaun and Katy are singing Old Town road in a bar in Shang-Chi. But I’d like to point out just how close these two events were, (the release of Old Town Road and the snap).
In spring of 2018, Thanos snapped and wiped out half of all life.
In October of 2018, Lil Nas X started recording the original Old Town Road, but he found the instrumental even earlier.
The song released on December 3rd, and later re-released with Billy Ray Cyrus on April 5th, 2019.
So, essentially, in a matter of months:
*half of all life is destroyed, governments are in ruins, world consumed with chaos*
Meanwhile Lil Nas X:
Facts
I’m not seeing nearly enough people talk about Phastos, our first openly gay character in the mcu, with a husband, both POC, and their son, Jack.
Y’all be writing 7484838 page fanfics about SamBucky, try to cancel Anthony Mackie after he tells you to stop fetishizing gay relationships but once there is an actually openly gay character y’all sleep on him.

I prepared some sources, mainly books, to study proofs in depth. It's funny how they hardly ever teach how to prove in high school. Only students of physical-mathematical areas or those who are oriented to some engineering learn that kind of thing, and they only learn a single technique (yup, induction). I went to review the secondary education plans in my country, and most of the time the word "mathematical proof" appeared in the documents, it was preceded by "without any". The only case mathematical proofs was part of that plan, it was in a concrete math subject made only for engineers.
Kevin Houston's methods seems like a good place to get a first perspective. I will OBVIOUSLY review Hammack's Book of Proof as well, and possibly compare methods to make sure I understand it.
I think I have nothing else to say. Without this, I'm basically lost for practically all the lectures. At the end of the day, I hope to at least prove that if x is an odd integer, then x^3 is odd. Yeah, that's how bad the situation is.
reblogging to save lives
1. the Event
have something scheduled for the day, be it a class, club meeting, shift at work, going to a friend’s, whatever. you must get shit done before the Event. i’ve also done it where the event is my roommates coming home, and I tell them to ask me what i did so i feel like I have to do shit. get creative.
2. exist in a space in which you can easily hyper-focus
pretty obvious, go to a cafe, library, friend’s house, whatever works for you, and do your thing. also! cleaning your house can really help with motivation and focusing, so that too.
3. “multitask”
this one took me a while to figure out. make your brain think you are “multitasking” so getting stuff done is less difficult. ie put the laundry in, meanwhile do the dishes, wipe the counters, vacuum. or put it one of those microwave meals in the oven instead, then you have a reward waiting for you after an hour of studying. for some reason, getting tasks done as a pastime until something else is done makes it way easier to do them
Sometimes I think that I could be the beautiful sword wielding girl with a dark past then I have the misfortune of remembering that I'm a fucking nerd who uses books as escapism.

welcome to this weeks episode of
‘Is this Canon, or is this from a fanfiction I cant remember?”
a memorable mention being ‘is this an original post or did I see it somewhere else?’

What are your thoughts on this?
Interestingly Richard Fenyman remarked the occurence of the Fibonacci sequence and the 'golden angle' (primary part of the fine structure constant) in his work on quantum mechanics. And according to my information progression stuff, yes it wouldn't surprise me that this elementary principle of 'self-replication" might be one of the fundamental underlying patterns.
This is a plain idea I head: dividing the Fibonacci numbers: Larger Fib. number/smaller Fib. number (like 3/2 or 8/5) results in a damped wave alterating around large PHI (1.618...) and smaller number/larger number (like 2/3 or 5/8) results in a damped wave around small phi (0.618...) in the pic I just combined them in a strange axes system - and it's fun to imagine what would happen if you cause torsion and skews upon that visualized model:
Interestingly, the Fibonacci numbers also exist in a certain interference-diffraction pattern/fourier transform, Fraunhofer diffraction to be more concrete.
Made a post about that some days ago(or was it weeks already?): (Although the stretched x-axis is not really required)
In concrete, these describe position probabilities of superposed/entangled elementary particles. It is the pattern recognized in the double slit experiement.
Secondly, as the standard distribution also has connections to the concept of Pascal's triangle, in which the pattern of the fibonacci numbers are also omni-present, this would hint even more on the fundamentality of this logical sequence. But what is it concretely interpreted? In a different approach of interpretation, the Fibonacci sequence can be ragarded as a simple replication sequence, of continuing certain progression patterns, somewhat, yes it sounds silly: "Past+Present=Future, and Present=Past+more previous past", although it is far too simplified if taken literally. In a very rough pattern, this might be correct. But the exact details are generated by that same process just interacting with uncountable similar parallel versions of it (these are what i regarded as butterfly clones in my thesis)- chaos theorists might call them "feedback loops", and you can imagine it as a ball of uncountable worms knotting each other...
Math that is art, and art that is math
For me, drawing 3D plots has something really calming. Although the results have uncountable imperfections, the insight-gaining effect of drawing such illustrations is the most satisfying of all aspects. Makes one see the ratios and connections of the depicted plot's underlying patterns from a different perspective.
A big part of ADHD (and Graves' disease, which can give similar symptoms) is feeling like it's your fault somehow.
That if you did just try harder or put "more effort in", you'd somehow stop struggling.
There can be times where you're at the absolute end of your rope, emotionally and physically exhausted, and you'll still feel like pushing yourself because you "could" be productive right now.
I'm here to tell you to STOP. When you reach those moments, do not suffer in an attempt to get more work done - let's be honest, if you're in that state, the work you do isn't going to reflect your capability anyway.
Right now, you might feel like "productivity" is defined by working or studying or something similar.
This is a lie. Right now, productivity is defined by self-care. Don't try to push the exhaustion aside, even if there are deadlines on the horizon. Right now, focus on keeping YOU healthy enough that you don't end up breaking down. If you've already broken down, now's the time to stop it from happening again.
Drink some cold water, and eat some food. This does NOT have to involve cooking either! Have a microwave meal. Eat cereal out of a mug or a glass. Don't have the executive function available to make a sandwich? Eat the ham slices and bread by themselves.
Can't find the energy to wash up, but you need dishes? Rinse a dish with boiled water. No, it's not the same, but it'll do for now, just for the moment.
The washing up and the cleaning and the deadlines and the stress can WAIT.
Productivity isn't just stuff that affects other people. It's also doing stuff that helps YOU.
You won't be able to properly do the other stuff if your body and mind are shutting down.
