Oh, you meant OOP’s post

why

Chemistry follows mathematical principles too, but it’s statistics and probability rather than desecrate math. The discrete parts of chemistry are observational, and then the rules are made to describe a trend. Much like a linear regression trend line, the rules don’t perfectly describe every situation, but that’s what makes chemistry so fun- you can make anything can happen with enough effort. It’s more exciting than physics where it’s like “This is the Carnot engine cycle- it’s cool but this is the most efficient engine cycle there will ever be.” Maybe the fun in physics starts with the unsolved problems? I think it really is a personality test in the end.

I learned thermodynamics with chemistry even though it’s basically physics, but I liked that. Thinking of thermodynamics as a statistical distribution, and entropy as a system moving towards more statistically likely states was helpful and intuitive to me. The actual physics classes I took were classical physics.

I was very pleased with using infinite rectangles to calculate the area under a curve when learning limits and integrals, so I also understand the appeal of pure math.

Biology is fun as well, and it has a bit of everything doesn’t it? I liked taxonomy, but there wasn’t anything in biology that was very moving to me even if there were lots of interesting things.

I also like economics, which is mathematical certainly even worse for being chaotic. Nothing more random than human behavior.

No offense taken, but also skill issue if it doesn’t make sense? I sucked at physics and it was certainly a skill issue.

To start with I liked the idea of chemistry from a young age, which acted as a seed for me to think anything about chemistry was interesting and worthy of learning in school.

Chemistry is about materials and processes which are things that I like and are what are taught in school, but it’s also about the practical applications and I love learning about those. For example, there is Nitrogen with it’s property of occurring naturally as a triple-bonded diatomic molecule with itself, and that that bond with itself is quite strong (compared to oxygen which readily combusts or the halogens which really don’t want to stay together.) To tie this property into a practical idea, we can think of the Haber-Borsch process to produce ammonia (NH₃) from Nitrogen (N₂) and Hydrogen (H₂) gas. While ammonia is thermodynamically favorable to form, it takes a large amount of energy and a catalyst to break the Nitrogen’s bond in order for the reaction to proceed, thus it’s a very energy intensive process that uses 2% of humanity’s global energy consumption.

So, I suppose what I like about it is the constellation of properties, processes, things, and ideas that interconnect and make you think about how you might use them together to accomplish something.

It’s physics that I didn’t like as much. It’s still interesting and there’s a lot of overlap, but I hated memorizing formulas and like yeah it’s good to know principles like the conservation of angular momentum but do I really care to hold all the associated formulas in my head? Motion is also just less interesting to me than transformation idk it seems like a bit of a personality test.

Why do you actually hate chemistry? What do you actually like?

I love chemistry wtf

My partner is malebrained confirmed!

Non-binary is real and it’s not exactly a difficult thing to conceptualize. We know that something in the biological system that determines sex can break and cause one to be born the wrong one for binary trans, so it’s not difficult to see how it could break in a way that leaves one with a non-binary incongruence complete with dysphoria.

Here’s a related paper whose abstract I skimmed. Much more research is required for us to understand why and how being transgender works, especially for non-binary, but for OOP is straight up denying that (‘tru’ or not) non-binary people exist at all and it’s only a psyop. One literally showed up to the thread.

What do the people even want to talk about anyway? Aside from how miserable they are and twitter screenshots.

I hope you find what you’re looking for.

That’s stupid

If you ruin the things you love you’ll only hate yourself more for it.

And someone saying they “ironically” listen to music to avoid judgement is (superficially) pathetic.

Yeah, listening to music because you like it is very normal and I don’t consider it a gendered thing. How would that make you a loser? You come off to me (superficially) as insecure since you made this post, but also brave because you listen to it anyway.

Gender-neutralbrained?

Why do you listen to it?

I actually like wikipedia’s logo

I have a bunch of half-watched shows lying around that I eventually get back to (it helps to have copies that include the “previously on” segment.) Honestly the only thing I’m committing when I try a show is a little time to try watching it and my expectations (and the HD space to download it,) and if I want to commit to watching it all the way through I can, but I don’t commit to a timetable or anything, and just watch when I want to. Of course, there are shows that I watch a few episodes and decide I don’t like it as well. The problem I’ll have with a show is to keep watching it waiting for it to get better.

The expanse is good but also kind of heavy and I wouldn’t recommend binging it.

I’ve been watching the Expanse for the first time. It’s also woke and deserves all the praise and I think the show does cool scifi things (for lack of a better way to put it,) political drama, and interpersonal drama well. Though for me the show’s messaging comes off as naive (although one could just as well say ‘optimistic’.)

Honestly, I slept on live action tv shows for a long while on account of being a weeb/tumblrite children’s cartoon fanatic for so long, but there’s a deep well of great media.

I imagine they ask everyone- certain styles of therapy really feel like they’re designed to have one accept their lot in life and be happy with it, which is obviously poison to a tranny.

Therapy with required essays is seriously fucked up. And why are they encouraging you to take the easy way through life???

See any good shows lately?
