Sure but it's just a comfy extension of the NEET life for me. (not technically NEET but other than your course you have no responsibilities and it's much easier than working).

>>24858372
I'm in New York. I got my AS in Engineering Sciences at a CC, which was probably a worse idea, considering how much better the CC was. My absolute worst teacher at CC is about the best teacher at Uni.
I finished my CC with 0 debt (living with parents), but I did re-take a bunch of courses so financial aid will probably fuck me later.

Tbh Engineering is one of the best choices

>with my AS I was asked about a 1+ year job, full+overtime, machine operator for a machining company
>I stupidly turned it down because I am continuing my education
At CC I was able to get into the maths tutoring lab. It was really cozy because to quote the supervisor "I'll only talk to you if I hear something goes wrong." We covered maths and sciences because we had some physics/chem majors in addition to math, and I learned Statistics before I took the class, from a Statistics teacher. Many of the students were adults with lives and not just normalfags who'd complain about failing one class. Helped me cope with CC because I liked the attention and sense of superiority.
>>24858517
that all sounds like a good deal except the math part. I am so unbelievably shit at math that ive had people laugh in my face. I can do things up to a 7th-8th grade level but after that you might as well be asking a toddler to land a plane.
>>24858593
The lower level stuff is usually the worst. There's a lot of back-information that goes into it i.e. multiplication tables to deal with fractions. At CC the lab went down to 091-092, at Uni it only goes down to Pre-Calc.
General suggestions for math itself:
>there's an order to the operations and they're usually strict
>anything you CAN do is limited, stuff you CAN'T do should be obvious after a while, but they won't teach what you can't do
General tips for improving skills:
>dual-n back like brain workshop for short-term memory
>ASCII games like Nethack to build up symbol processing and long-term memory storage/retrieval
>simple FPS like Unreal Tournament (with an FOV adjustment) to improve visual processing speed
Pre-Calc is the worst math. They also tend to make remedial math horribly difficult. Get help from the on-campus tutors, they're free as far as I know.
>>24857456
>this is a resting bitch-face
>>24858673
Thanks for all the info. You've actually been a lot of help. But i think trying to learn more math skills will be a waste of time for everyone involved. If i can be honest i think my brain just locks up whenever its confronted with math i don't immediately understand. I'm going to have to find something that doesn't involve math.

The prompt was more or less about an argument that a person's cognition/beliefs are vastly more important than physical sensations in the pleasure they receive from doing any given action. I was just trying to make the point that it is not uncommon for the physical stimuli to outweigh the mental beliefs of an individual, and that the person who was making the argument wasn't being entirely honest with the audience. It wasn't my only example, but it was the shittiest one I gave. I bungled that prompt/response anyway so I figured I might as well go out with a blast.Homosexuality relevant to rape in the sense that I didn't mention women, only men, though in retrospect it was vague enough to imply a woman raped a man.

That's what sucks about school, everyone is expected to be at the same brain development and skill when really most people are just learning the content wrong and forgetting it the next day.

You would be surprised how many guys I served with that either had Masters already or finished one while they were in. Of course, the military has its fair share of mouth breathing retards, but there are quite a few intelligent people, even in the infantry (liable to get your guys fucking killed if you are a dumb squad leader). If you look at fields like SIGINT or CI/HUMINT (what I did), the majority of people are pretty intelligent.

Philosophy.
It was primarily related to eating food. The argument is that a person's ethical cognitions i.e. beliefs, largely shape the amount of pleasure or enjoyment an individual receives from eating food, while the physical sensation plays a much smaller role in how we form our preferences for foods. I screwed up by conflating "enjoyment" with "pleasure" and used pleasure instead of enjoyment in my argument, so it was all sorts of fucked up.
The author was trying to imply that if you eat food that has been prepared in an unethical way, and you enjoy it, then you must not really find the way it was prepared or made unethical. Basically the argument was in favor of the idea that taste preference is more influential than the taste sensation in determining our enjoyment of foods, and in opposition to the idea that the ethical and aesthetic properties of food are independent, i.e. taste sensation is the only thing that influences our taste (preference.)
I was agreeing with the author's argument, but disagreeing with the way she went about making her point.

My woes all started from the very beginning of the semester, so I guess I'll start from there:
>think I'm gonna be ultra-productive this semester
>6 classes though
>gradually begin getting lazier and lazier
>think I can get away with skipping classes
>do shit on exams
>well I'll just do really well on finals
>blow entire time studying for finals on a math course that I am in danger of failing
>don't know jack shit for rest of my classes
>completely blow off studying for the rest of them
>don't think I failed any classes this semester but my gpa just fucking sank
>mfw I'm a fucking idiot
>mfw you cannot be a lazy jack off in college or you'll pay for it
at least there's next semester to start anew
>>24860614
im in a similar situation except im in calc 1. Someone I miraculously almost passed the placement exam and got really close to placing into calc by 1 point. So i got it wavered because it was a difference of one point for me to take the class. Flip to now, im not passing the class cause im fucking retarded or something despite studying for hours. Its not the algebra or trig though...So im about to retake this shit at a different campus and who knows if they'll waiver to take the class again...
>>24860904
>The author was trying to imply that if you eat food that has been prepared in an unethical way, and you enjoy it, then you must not really find the way it was prepared or made unethical.
That's really dumb, did you mention Nazi experiments. I mean food is food, knowledge is knowledge just because how it got there is unpleasant doesn't mean it cant be used for a greater good. Like a reformed drug addict who only found his passion due to being jailed and rehabbed it's not like he enjoys the thought of him having a drug addiction.
Were you supposed to be able to easily rip into this?

>>24860970
I should have mentioned Nazis for the extra edge factor, but I did also mention drug addiction/usage, as well as the fact that many of our aversions to certain foods stem from physical/mental stimuli that are genetically encoded within us as a form of self-preservation.
>Were you supposed to be able to easily rip into this?
Maybe? Things that seem very straight-forward have a tendency to be anything but with that class. The professor has actively shot down any attempt I've made to imply that ethics tend to be very conditional and he's one of those that is really into himself. Granted he's probably more philosophically knowledgeable than I will be for the foreseeable future, but it still is frustrating to be cock-blocked at every turn because it doesn't conform to his ethical worldview.
>>24861028
I mean like there has to be some job that isn't retail available. Either self started or someone need someone to learn X and you say okay ill start figure it out.

The existence of cultural influence is really easy to prove how can he deny that?
>>24856498
whats it on? what region?
I just got my insurance card. How do I choose a doctor that will prescribe me adderall? Or do I need a legit diagnosis first?
>>24859330
I've wanted to for a while, I was even looking at particular plots of land. My top choice was a 100 acre plot in Kentucky that was next to a river, was a mix of woods and fertile farm land, had streams and springs on site, and was somewhat isolated, but not too much. I also spent time researching different aspects of farming, homesteading, and traditional building. But I let my mom talk me out of buying it, oh well.
>>24858780

>>24861100
>The existence of cultural influence is really easy to prove how can he deny that?
I think he compares the ethics of a given culture with the universal ethics he might believe in, and says that while it might have been socially acceptable at the time, it is still morally wrong according to the moral ethics of the world. I dunno. He's one of those professors that doesn't even say what he believes, only that in any given instance you're wrong or right. He's also so damn smug and condescending.He was still an enjoyable professor though and I enjoyed the class, just frustrated with the fact that I probably bombed the exam with flying colours.
>>24861130
I dont know why adderall is so hyped among students. It's not meant to be used regularly. If you do it will make you sick, sleep deprived and anxious.
It's only good for a few days at the time.

only if you don't know how to do it well except for the anxious part but it's fine you just keep to yourself most of the time.
Also taking it everyday assures you focus and assures you don't fall asleep until ~14 hours later sleep medication if needed. It's great dude.
>>24859671
go lay some bricks, faggot.
>>24861259
>only if you don't know how to do it wel
>do it well
Dude there is only one way of 'doing' it. No need to be pretentious.
Also, I take dextroamphetemine which might be slightly different, but from what I understand is that Adderall only has more side effects.
It's as stupid as using benzos every day. But go ahead and do it, idc. Just warning you.

>>24861321
what i mean by doing it well is basically taking your medicine and eating breakfast which takes away 90% of the side effects and either know how to deal with the come down, have sleeping medication, or know to drink lots of water if it's vyvance.
It's manageable

used to do this, realized i shouldn't. Still hits hard when i see people doing it because i feel the embarrassment they are one day going to feel.
Also it's not the questions that are the worst it's the random stories and factoids that people interject when the teacher wants to move on.
>>24861002
either silly mistakes or how the retarded the test were set up in that class. On my last exam literally 12 questions, get one 1 wrong even though most of work is correct, i get no partial credit or anything.Just like that down to a fucking 90%. and the question wasnt that long though, just a limit problem. I'd rather have a 30 question exam than a 15 question....JUST im just retarded.
Failing classes and shitposting instead.

1) Cry
2) Break it to your parents that you're failing the classes then cry some more after the fallout
3) Take some sleeping pills and sleep

Figuring this out too, was assigned a projects with a single partner for the first project of the year, did good on it kind of half assed it.

Oh yeah those baby boomers really planned ahead their generation was great, and those ww1 babies really were way better then us, and the turn of the 20th centuries babies were way smarter.
Yeah no. for one the world is constantly getting better in terms of civil rights and cultural movements like that. Yes things might not be as hard anymore might so we might as well bring back segregation so we can motivate black people again because difficulty is what makes people successful i guess. Two ironically education is at the hardest it has ever been, your parents learned less in high school then you did and there was a lot less to study in college when they did (if they did). Third jesus no, the 60's was the hippie movement the epitome of not planning ahead. 80's most drugs were way more popular and the consequences were not known hence the heroin chick being a thing. And lastly think about it, your parents smoked because they though it was good for them, they didn't have the ability to figure out if it was or not. Meanwhile in the age of mass communications we are a generation of people who can fact check yourself and grew up doing so. Your parent's have a view of the world from the Tv , what they read (this generation reads 6x the amount they did), and what was around them. We are the kids with the most potential to do great things and in ways we are. Inventing things is at an all time high, rates of people graduation college is at an all time high. We aren't that bad comparatively.

A triangle has three angles.
If you add all those angles you get 180 degrees C or 453.15 degrees K, I don't know how many degree Fahrenheit it is and I don't really care.
Anyway, the sides of any triangle with one angle equal to 363.15 degrees K have three defined relations between their sides, those are called sine, cosine and tangent.
You can go look that shit up if you like, it's got to do with circles and shit.
And basically that's all you need to know.

Now im repeating my freshman year, got almost 90% of my coding classes but still failed maths, even though i studied during the whole year constantly and consistently. Seriously how the fuck do I study maths? I fucking hate trigonometry, this shit sucks ass, I passed everything else with ease but now im getting fucked again. And if I am unable to pass it this year I will drop out and will have to go a shitty high school. I'm 18 btw.
