You be a top tier mathematician that happens to be interested in computers. You cant be a computer scientist that's interested in learning only a little math.

You have to stay away from the Internuts. Just get an old computer from the 70's or 80's that doesn't even have a modem. Now you can only focus on your algorithms and shit.

The Internuts is just here to drive us all insane.
