my senior guidance counselor said “if you drop out of math class you won’t be able to computers” eat poo poo mr. miller. you’re still a guidance counselor and I interview college grads who were lazy and depressed in high school for the position I was hired into six years ago

PIZZA.BAT posted:exact opposite for me. i got kicked out of the gifted program because i literally couldn't give a poo poo about anything so they sent me to the guidance counselor who tried to be all sly by saying, 'you know being a brick layer isn't a bad gig either' in an attempt to scare me straight I went through this a couple times in elementary school, for some reason they seemed to think that a gifted 6th grade isn't just going to gently caress around all day and get bored with no structure

The most important even slightly higher math thing that you can learn is the concepts of a derivative and rates of change in various systems. learn that and you now know how to upshift a manual transmission car without touching the clutch.

lol. no. a bunch of idiot tech blogs blew up a very tentative report that said they got a signal and it's almost certainly interference/a reflection from earthquote:...in 2020, the team discovered two groups of suspicious signals of extraterrestrial civilizations during the data processing of the “China Sky Eye” 2019 synchronic sky survey observations. In 2022, the team found another suspicious signal from exoplanet target observation data. infernal machines fucked around with this message at 03:53 on Jun 16, 2022 |

I was a Smart Boy and was told so repeatedly during my upbringing but it turned out the smartness would peak at grade 9, at which point I had to study but had no idea how because I never had to learn.

if you were described as "gifted" in elementary school but also "lazy" in high school and were told you just needed to "apply yourself" there is a 99.9% chance you have ADHD ADHD brain works really well when you're in elementary and middle school because everyone's standards for average are "can respond to questions within 30 seconds" and "can colour within the lines without eating the crayons" at that point. as soon as you have to actually put some effort in (high school) your brain doesn't work that way anymore and it's easier to just skip school and smoke fat joints behind the basketball court than it is to try to wrangle your ADHD into submission all while teachers, counsellors, and doctors go "you just need to apply yourself"
