How do you get from:
[ 1 – ( x^2 / y^2 ) ]^( 3/2 )
to:
( 1 / y^2 )^( 3/2 ) • ( y^2 + x^2 )^( 3/2 )
I don't even know where to begin, which is a bit odd because I'm usually on top of this subject.
CHECK THAT; first term should be [ 1 + ( x^2 / y^2 ) ]^( 3/2 )
Math is easy.
Fuck your British "s".
It's Mathematics. Not Mathsematics.
Anywho, it's a puzzle.
You have your end solution and you have your tools. How do you make your end look like your beginning.
I've honestly lost a lot of my math skills. It's all about transformations.
So look at your cheat sheet. Look at how you turn one thing into another.
The key to math is looking at your end first, not your beginning.
Look at the end, then look at the ends of all your equations. Look at what looks most similar.

1 + (x^2 / y^2) = (y^2 / y^2) + (x^2 / y^2)
= ([x^2 + y^2] / y^2) = (1 / y^2) * (x^2 + y^2)
and (a * b)^c = a^c * b^c
Also holy fuck you're stupid if you're over 18 and don't know this shit.
I have a huge backlog, but these two recently games caught my attention and I can only get one due to time constraints.
Considerations about Doom:
>Friends who played the beta loved it
>It looks fun and fast paced
>Looks like something I can finish quickly and enjoyably and then go back for collectables
>Never really got into the original Dooms (but enjoyed them when I played)
>/v/ is having a shit fit over it
Considerations for DkS3:
>Enjoyed DkS1 but not enough for a second play-through
>The implied lore gets me rock hard
>PvP is still very active which also got me rock hard in DkS1
>Wary since DkS2 was shit
>Unsure if I have the time to finish it
Please /adv/, take time out of your busy day of helping sperglords get over their GFs and penis insecurities and help a person truly in need.
Thank you :3
For what it's worth I don't play either, but I watched a guy play the doom campaign. Pretty short (8-9 hours? or something), that's even with collecting all the little goodies you can nab, and from what I saw from the beta, the multiplayer was pretty slow for an fps. The single player looked solid though aside from being relatively short. Single player had instant weapon switches, good movement, nice graphics (though I admit I'm not picky with graphics), and seemed to run okay on the dude's 970.
What I mainly wanted to say is doom's multiplayer...

>/v/ is having a shit fit over it
For good reason. It wouldn't be such a big deal if it wasn't a Halo clone with a new IP painted on. Similar issue with how DmC DMC would have merely been forgettable rather than offensive if it was its own game.
If you liked the Halo series, you'll probably like nu-Doom.
Not really sure where the state of DS3 falls right now PvP wise. At the time poise was disabled and the game was split between parry spam and hyper armor abuse generally when I got bored with it, but supposedly poise works now. I enjoyed it, but it's the easiest in the series imo. Aside from a few like Dancer of Boreal most of it was relatively straight forward, and summons make it even more so.

I have a small bump on the fleshy part of where my foreskin used to be on the underside of my penis, don't know what that's called. It's a little bigger than a grain of salt. It doesn't burn, although it does hurt when I squeeze it and the tiniest bit of pus comes out. I hasn't grown or expanded or scabbed over or anything and it's the only one. It doesn't appear very red or inflamed.
Is this just a pimple or should I be freaking out?
>>17148516
Anytime anything leaks where it shouldn't you should probably get checked out.
When you get cut you are supposed to bleed, so that doesn't count unless it's serious.
I've heard about this before. You might have testicular cancer.
>>17148516
Is it liquid pus or solid-ish?
If it's solid it could be sebum from fordyce spots, they're very common little white bumps on the penis. Nothing to worry about unless there's a ton of them and it becomes an aesthetic issue.
Hurting when you squeeze it is pretty normal, you're pinching your dick after all.
If you have liquid pus that leaks out you definitely need to see a doctor.
I'm a 27yo good looking guy (8/10). What's the easiest way to get involved in a trio? WWM or WMM would be fine for me.
PS: I live in Colombia :/
How about not being a huge faggot? 8/10 who told you that? Your mom? Go humble yourself and maybe someone will like you.

I think op wants to have sex with two girls, but by your suggestion there are already two girls in your scenario, op and her gf.
I'm considering having a nose job and ear pinning done to boost my self esteem and confidence. I'm a 23 y/o male and have the money but I feel very awkward about it, I didn't consider myself vain but it seems to me that the better looking you are the easier your life is.
I've spoken to a surgeon already about the nose job and he's confident he can provide me with what I want, a straight symmetrical nose with nostril widening because I can barely breathe out the thing but I'm having second thoughts, what if I do all this and it has no effect...

>it seems to me that the better looking you are the easier your life is.
This is sadly true
>what if I do all this and it has no effect on me because the psychological damage has already been done?
If your nose and ears were the cause of your problem it'll help might just take time.
I'd do it anon, if it's going to improve your looks it's going to improve your life.
Plastic surgery is always a bad idea. It's a bit like tattoos, you see, a very expensive investment that you need to freshen up every 4-5 years. It is also really easy to start touching up everywhere else. The worst is the nose job: note what happened to Michael Jackson.
If you believe you have medical reasons to get the nose job, particularly because of the breathing issues without the nostril widening, then get the nose job. Otherwise, I do not recommend changing your appearance all that much - in today's society, we have tons of photo ID and facebook pictures...

Why is it always a bad idea?
Tattoo's don't improve self esteem. I shouldn't need to go under the knife again unless I break my nose or someone rips the insert out of my ear, from what I understand with age the bone can soften but that's it. Michael Jackson had at least 7 nose jobs.
My anxiety has been with me so long there are no pictures of me online, I've never had a fb or social media. I won't run into anyone I used to know because I left that place. Dropped study because...

What should I do?
I just got a message from my ex who I haven't talked to in forever, and tell me all about how I got them hospitalized and shit and that it's all my fault really. And then came off as them saying shit like they've cut themselves, had to take medication and so on just to coop. And because they saw me a few times throughout the time they'd had attacks and pretty much their whole life is a failure now. I've moved on and have a healthy new relationship now that this past one wishes to ever dream of. Should I message them back?
Nope. They're fucked and need professional help. You can't provide that, and if you try to direct them towards it they'll just use it as an excuse to latch onto you.
>>17148471
na, you dont owe them anything desu
At least she didn't try to kill you.
I am pretty sure I am in the process of ending a six year relationship. I have come to the conclusion that my GF's rascist parents bother me enough that I cannot get married into her family.
She has been very supportive of me throughout the course of our relationship but we almost never have sex.
She is very successful yet I feel that I would prefer less success and more shared interests.
Guys, is breaking up over rascist parents and no sex really a thing?
I don't know about anything anymore.
I'm actually worried about this. It's...

Do it anon
Yes to both.
If you are sexually incompatible, the relationship is doomed to fail.
Sex alone can't make a relationship, but bad sex sure can destroy one.

OP here.
Thanks Anons. I had a good cry.
This situation is tough, but you guys helped a bit.
What is it about being raised by a single mother/shitty father that at least partially leads to being totally inept with women?
>>17148310
your personality is the copy of the people around you when youre 3 - 9 years old
Absolutely nothing. People just like to make single mothers feel bad because of their own beliefs without giving thought to their situations.
Provided you don't exclude yourself from others, you'll grow up just fine. Hypersensitivity to random bullshit like this is only going to distract you from your real issues.
>>17148340
Don't listen to this fucker. Being a raised by a single mom will fuck you up more so if you are a male. Makes need good male role models. If you don't have that your best bet would be to hang out with a bunch of quality guy friends. Masculine guy friends, not metrosexual faggots or fuckboys.
i used to think that all my life problems were because had shit jobs, bosses, educations, but i'm realizing it's probably my inability to suffer fools gladly, or anyone. let the blind lead the blind...

So what do you need help with exactly? How to stop being an asshole?
I currently dont use nicotine in my vape but I hear from friends that its nice and the buzz is nice. Should I pick it up?
>should I take an addictive substance to feel good
Only if you're a degenerate--
Oh, you vape.
Yeah, go right ahead.
>>17148253
Would you prefer I smoke cigs and smell like shit?
>>17148235
I have 12mg of nicotine in mine at 35 watts. I don't get a buzz.
I am stuck in a rut and desperately want to shake things up but don't have the resources to do anything positive.
Do y'all think I'd lose my job for good if I cut myself up and went to a mental ward for a while?
Secondary bump.
>>17148066
It'd be hard to convince them that you're healthy enough to leave afterwards... You could be spending the time that you would have been in the mental ward doing something else. Try learning some free shit online while you work some minimum wage job to pay for housing and other necessities.
>>17148066
>don't have the resources to do anything positive.
By that I assume you mean "some free time and the desire to do anything positive with that time".
Depends on your employer and the type of business it is. If you leave your employer shorthanded, expect them to replace you as quickly as possible. Even if your employer were willing to have you as an employee, don't assume they'll have a position available to you.
How do I become smarter?

Learn, read and experience. IQ is like horsepower on a vehicle. There are ways to maximize it.
Recently I've been visiting my brother ( he's in prison) and he told me that he and a friend were planning to fuck up a inmate who was in for child moleststion. I told him not to because he might end up spending more time etc....sure enough they tried to jump him in his cell. Now keep in mind this guy taught martial arts. Aparrently he was no joke. He broke my brother's friends arm, broke my brothers wrist and jaw, and also gave his friend a concussion . He kept going at them until guards apprehended them . I'm soo angry at my brother , how could he be soo stupid?
>>17148034
> how could he be soo stupid?
Well, he was apparently dumb enough to land himself in there in the first place, so maybe you had the bar set too high?
>>17148034
He's in prison. That should have been the first clue that your brother is really stupid.
You have no idea what it's like in there. What it takes for him to earn respect, preserve respect, maintain his prison relationships, etc. Only he knows what he thinks he needs to do. Obviously it's fucking stupid but that doesn't mean jack for you. Sucks to watch your brother fuck his life up even more, but that's part of the gig of prison. There's nothing you can do.

...So what exactly do you need /adv/ice on?
For 6 or 7 years now I'd had a recurring fear of not being able to control myself in situations where I could cause harm to myself or other people (unable to control myself from jumping when standing on the edge of a building, stabbing people or myself when holding a knife.) Whenever I'm in a situation like this I get anxiety attacks and become terrified. Any way to cope with this?
>>17148012
I have something similar to what you describe;
Severe mood swings and paranoid delusions give me a fear of loosing control and taking an others life because i believe they are plotting or taking malicious actions against me.
The way i overcome it is seclude myself from a majority of society where possible, do autistic semi preset routines and only have a small core of people i trust who know about my condition and why i do what i do. It was difficult to adjust to but the benefits outweigh the costs (i...

This is helpful, but I think my fear is more tied to anxiety. I'm scared of the idea that something that would take me only a second would have massive consequences.
Sounds like intrusive thoughts. Google "Pure O OCD", might help you out. That's more to of w/ mental compulsions of stopping the thoughts, tho.
