Have we got any STEM /soc/ialists? Theres always a lack of people interested in STEM fields in other threads, perhaps we should start our own?

Eh. They come easy when others like me are involved. "Normal" people start talking with their sports and their celebrities and I have no idea what to do so I just blend and stay quiet.

Eh. Comics, vidya, SOME science etc is acceptable pop culture nowadays if you find the right crowd. Those are the people I look for. But I've found a good group of them so really if I'm put at a bar it's just to drink and hopefully (read: never) get laid.

mhmm, i can see this. once you hint at being passionate about those things you're very weird. it is only cool to the point where you're fashionably quirky
>>23009771
Exactly, pop culture has a massive hard-on for geekiness but it's very watered down so it can appeal to the lowest common denominator of people, and actually nerdy topics just don't water down very well, there's usually a lot of complexity that is lost

>Other interests, favourite movies and shows etc.
I try to read some philosophy now and then. I want to read more but I have a bad habit of picking up a bunch of books and only reading like the first chapter in them all. I guess right now I'm focusing on Dewey (though I wouldn't call myself a pragmatist) and Sartre (though I definitely wouldn't call myself an existentialist). I'm also a /mu/tant so I spend way too much time listening to bad music. New Bermuda AOTY btw.

There are definitely people that use the fact that they're studying it to stroke their e-peen (usually the people that are only it in for the money) but for the most part it's just people that are interested in something that not too many people are interested in trying to find people to share with.

What did you switch from? I switched from Mech Eng. to Math/Econ but first year Mech. Eng. didn't have any real engineering classes so my math and science and other gen eds carried over. Also do you watch Arrow too? Flash has been pretty consistent imo but Arrow has a tendency to fluctuate in quality since last season.

yes, web design isn't really something i'm fond of but unfortunately it's what a lot of people are looking for ;n; i can't complain though, normies will pay decently for very simple code that ends up looking pretty.

Not a new design, I just put one together from a couple of old microwave oven transformers.

>>23018544
Linear Alg varies widely from institution to institution.
At some schools, linear algebra is a sophomore level course with minimal proof/analysis and is very "In this diagram is our matrix, find some property of it".
Other schools, it's considered the 2nd or 3rd hardest math class to take (outside the Foundations of Algebra / Analysis course line), really rigorous, and almost everything is essentially "Prove that if Matrix A is _____ then it's ___".
The inconsistency between schools is so high that almost all grad programs have a linear algebra as one of the first courses you take so that you can quickly get on the faculty's level of doing stuff.
