I think anyone at the point of learning those subjects would just call them by their name. From my experience, “advanced calculus” usually refers to introduction to real analisys courses like Spivak or even Baby Rudin. It seems nowadays it’s being used to refer to multivariate and DEs, which I guess makes a little more sense but it still bothers me.

Do you shower in a handstand?
- Comment on Haha that's really cool, funny number man 1 week ago:
Nothing. It’s a meaningless term. Some people use it to say “hard calculus” (multivariate, pdes, etc) and I suspect that’s how it’s being used here but, historically, it has mostly been used to refer to the introduction to real analysis courses found in books spike Spivak and Apostol.
- Comment on Haha that's really cool, funny number man 1 week ago:
I’m officially triggered. There’s no such thing as “advanced calculus”. Yes, I’m aware of Loomis and Sternberg. That book was literally written to stroke the authors’ ego.

Yet another one for the “Lemmy isn’t sexist” collection.

Oh, for sure. I meant this specific example.

people that define their lives by the templates supplied by societal stereotypes
This is literally institutional misogyny.

You’re forgetting OP of the greentext is a 4chan regular so their social circle is probably entirely vocal assholes of reddit and x flinging shit at each other.

It’s great for throwaway factoids that you’re curious about in the moment but won’t remember or care about an hour later
Not even the greatest Sci-Fi writers of, this, and all future times could ever hope to conceive an idea of an intelligence, not of human origin, that would be able to answer such riveting questions as “what’s the name of that guy in that movie?”. Cutie, eat your positronic heart out.

Joke’s on you. I’ve been complaining about her acting since I found out everyone who played an amazon had to fake an Israeli accent because Gal Gadot, a professional actress who gets literally hundreds of thousands of dollars per movie, couldn’t hide her own.

Nope. That’s a ball. A closed ball to be precise. Spheres refers specifically to the “=” part.
- Comment on How about the digestive system? 5 weeks ago:
All spheres are hollow (mathematically)
- Comment on How about the digestive system? 5 weeks ago:
But saying that to make a hole in a sphere, you need to make two holes in the sphere is funny.

No, that’s a punctured disk, you’re thinking of a torus.

“Overweight people are unhealthy”. Is that racist?
- Comment on Why do you hate AI? 1 month ago:
Your statement was predicated on something you misunderstood. Hence the question: What do you think racism is?
- Comment on Why do you hate AI? 1 month ago:
Reading comprehension is hard, I know.
- Comment on Why do you hate AI? 1 month ago:
What do you think racism is?
- Comment on Why do you hate AI? 1 month ago:
Stereotypes are not racism.
- Comment on Why do you hate AI? 1 month ago:
As always, you don’t hate X, you hate capitalism. Replace X with almost anything.
- Comment on Why do you hate AI? 1 month ago:
Reverse-racism is not a thing.

So it is a consequence of too much reddit. Also, what’s up with your username, baby? How pathetic can you get?
- Comment on Squad Goals 2 months ago:
you belonged to a marginalised group
Oh, shit. I left out hugely important context. This happened in Mexico so it’s probably neither of those.
- Comment on Squad Goals 2 months ago:
Twice I got my face plastered on the flyers of a conference because none of the other speakers looked Mexican enough. I still don’t know if should have been offended.
- Comment on Anon asks out a girl 2 months ago:
I’m curious. Do you just speak like this on purpose or is it a consequence of too much reddit?
- Comment on Anon asks out a girl 2 months ago:
Why, oh why, do you think you deserve my time and effort for anything else than making fun of your lack of intelligence and social skills?
- Comment on Anon asks out a girl 2 months ago:
And this just cements the fact that you can’t read. You’re not original, because your dumb misinterpreted study has been posted and debunked to hell and back.
The person I just celebrated an anniversary with would be very amused to read this. And like me, she’d recognize
And you’re also delusional. I’m not surprised.

I went to a bar, stalked a woman and had to bite my tongue to avoid saying m’lady. I can’t imagine why she said no.
